Title: Improvements in and relating to Pneumatic Power Hammers.
Inventor: HONEYWOOD DAVID
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1911-06-13
Granted: 1912-09-13
Abstract: 14,037. Honeywood, D., and Graham, W. June 13. Power hammers.-Relates to pneumatic power hammers, of the kind in which vacuum and pressure are used for raising the hammer and effecting the blow respectively, and consists in employing, in an extension of the hammer cylinder a, an auxiliary dummy piston b, b' for varying the strength of the blow independently of the thickness of the work operated on, the piston being maintained in the desired position by the fluid pressure of the power-producing cylinder and adjusted to the desired position by hand-operated link-work or by fluid pressure. In the form illustrated in Fig. 1, the dummy piston, adjusted in position by link-work, is shown in its highest position, in which the hammer c effects its heaviest blow. The hammer cylinder a is connected with the power cylinder e by means of ports x, y, z controlled by the hand-actuated main valve w and an auxiliary valve 3. In this position of the dummy piston, the compressed air for effecting the blow is admitted through the port z to the annular groove d in the dummy piston and so through the passages f and through the non-return valves g to the top of the tup piston. In the intermediate position of the dummy piston, shown in dotted lines, the alternate vacuum and pressure from the cylinder e is admitted above and below the dummy piston so that this piston is balanced. The valve 3 is interconnected with the linkage that adjusts the position of the dummy piston and is open in the intermediate position thereof so that, as the tup piston moves down in the cylinder, the movement is augmented by pressure through the open port x. In the form in which the dummy piston is positioned by fluid pressure, the dummy piston is connected by a rod h, Fig. 3, to an auxiliary piston k working in an auxiliary cylinder j mounted above the main cylinder a. Ports p, o, r, which connect the auxiliary cylinder and main cylinder to the pressure cylinder e through the conduit q, are controlled by a valve n so that the position of the dummy cylinder can be adjusted by admitting compressed air above or below the piston k. The dummy piston, when in the desired position, is balanced as before by reason of the connexion with the pressure cylinder through the port z. By increasing the number of ports and corresponding controlling and actuating devices, the dummy piston may be retained in anv desired number of intermediate positions. Specification 14,038/11, which relates to power hammers actuating both on the up and down strokes by pressure, is referred to.

Electric clocks.-A tuned circuit is bridged across the leads of an electric supply system so that a magnet inserted in it is energized by currents of the proper frequency. The magnet is employed to control a clock or to effect some other operation. In the circuit shown in Fig. 1 the magnet L forms the inductance of the resonance circuit, and actuates an armature A between contacts C, C<1>. In order to ensure the non-actuation of the relay by currents of another frequency such as those of the supply system, a compensating-circuit L<2>, L<3>, Fig. 2, is used, the coil L<2> being wound with the coil L<1> in such a manner that the effects of the two windings annul each other at the frequency not desired. Or this compensation may be obtained by an inductance shunting the condenser K, and multiple resonance circuits may be used. Current of the desired frequency is applied by connecting an alternator to the line directly or through a transformer, and cams may be employed for switching the current on and off.
