Filed: 1912-08-07
Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 18,190. Schubert, M., and Smolka, K. Aug. 7. Rammers.-Consists in mounting a known form of pneumatic hammer on a wheeled framework and operating the same from an engine also mounted on the frame, the combination being employed for ramming pavements. Fig. 1 shows a known form of pneumatic hammer comprising a ram h working in a cylinder f from which air is withdrawn and into which air is forced by the action of a piston d working in a cylinder e, the two cylinders being connected with one another by an adjustable valve g and a non-return valve m. The valve g may be adjusted to vary the opening of the port k to suit the force of blow required or, when it is not required to work the rammer, the passage k may be closed when the air is exhausted through a passage o. The ram is cushioned at the end of the up stroke by the action of a non-return valve m which prevents escape of air from the top of the cylinder after the ram h has closed the port k. The piston d is reciprocated in the cylinder e by means of an engine a which operates a crank b and connecting-rod c through chain gearing. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 4564/79, and 15,212/94, 16,720/03, 20,762/03, 14,554/05, [all in Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], and 26,275/06.
