Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 25,221. Smith & Co., H., Smith, H., and Smith, O. Dec. 5. Hydraulic machines and presses. - Presses and like machines, in which the initial and usually non- effective portion of the stroke is produced by the operation of a small auxiliary ram while the main ram cylinder fills with low-pressure fluid, are provided with such an arrangement of valves and relative parts, that, on the valve being opened to operate the auxiliary ram, the main ram cylinder is filled with low-pressure fluid during the initial movement, and the valve admitting high-pressure fluid to the main ram cylinder is automatically operated when the main ram meets with great resistance. The main ram A is connected to the auxiliary ram D, which works in a cylinder G above the main cylinder B. The hand-operated valve H admits pressure fluid from the inlet M to the cylinder G, this fluid being exhausted to the tank T, A branch N<1> leads from the pipe N<2> to the bottom of the casing P of the valve K so that the pressure fluid may act on the piston k, at the same time as it acts on the top of the ram D. The highpressure fluid is led to the casing P by the pipe O. The pressure fluid admitted at M is such as to produce a rapid movement of the piston D, but less than that which passes through the pipe O. When the ram D is moving downwards, the valve K is in such a position as to admit low-pressure fluid from the tank T to the cylinder B, but, when the ram meets with resistance, the pressure under the piston k rises and the valve K is raised to admit the highpressure fluid from the pipe O to the cylinder B, and to cut off communication with the tank T.
