Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 9358. Dieter, J. C., Bowsher, S., and Davis, E. April 22. Conduits and culverts.-Creepers for threading a cord through a conduit are made by arranging two hollow rods A, B, which can telescope together, with a spring C arranged thereon tending to force them apart. Rollers F, G, K, L are provided on arms H, I, M, N which are mounted on the rods and are preferably yielding, and these rollers are governed by pawls as indicated in Fig. 3 so that they can move only so as to carry the threader forwards. An operating-cord secured at one end to the rear end of the rod A passes over a roller Q and then back through the rod B ; when this cord is pulled, the tube A is drawn forwards because the rod B is incapable of moving backwards, and on release of the cord the spring draws the tube B forwards so that by repeating the operation the whole creeper can be made to move forwards intermittently in the conduit. If the arms H, I, M, N are flexible, centring-runners D, 0 are provided, and in certain cases the rollers may be omitted and the ends of the arms made pointed, or tipped with rubber, so as to secure a grip on the conduit; to allow the device to be drawn back in the event of the mechanism going wrong, a second cord for bending the rollersupporting legs inwards may be provided.
