Title: Improvements in Coal Cutting Machines.
Filed: 1906-04-24
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 9603. Lake, H. H., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. April 24. Undercutting &c.-A coal-cutting machine operated by reciprocating columns of air is provided with an automatic governor to reduce the stroke of the piston when the cutter is not striking the coal. The front valve chamber 3 is connected to the front end of the cylinder by divided main ports 18 some distance from the end of the cylinder, and by an auxiliary front port 19, in which is situated a one-wav valve 20, opened by pressure from the valve chamber. When the cutter is striking coal, the limit of the forward stroke of the piston is as shown in Fig. 2, but, when it is not striking, the piston continues its motion, covers the outer ends of the ports 18, and drives air in front of it through a passage 32, past a valve 34, Fig. 6, and into a space in front of the governor plunger 24. This plunger, which is hollowed to receive a spring 29 and a plate 30 held therein by screws on the plunger, is thus driven rearwardly, being guided by side elongated slots engaging a pin 26 in the valvechest. The inner ends of the passages 18 are thereby covered, and on the next stroke of the presser air passes through the port 19 only in sufficient quantity to produce a partial rearward stroke. If the cutter on the next forward stroke strikes coal, air breaks from the port 32 past a small passage in the valve 34 and the governor is returned to open the main ports 18 and obtain a full rearward stroke. The rear chamber 4 is connected to the cylinder by a port 21 and an auxiliary valved port 22, and is also connected to the front chamber 3 to throw the machine out of operation by a manually-operated valve 5. The machine is mounted on traction wheels 14 and has a handle for guiding it into position.
