Abstract

647,211. Pneumatic single-stroke apparatus. ELECTRO-HYDRAULICS, Ltd. Aug. 20, 1947, No. 23127. [Class 8(ii)] A pneumatic pressure operated jack control system comprises an alternative supply 10, Fig. 1, of pneumatic pressure capable of being placed in communication with both sides of the jack piston 7 by an alternative operation valve 11 and alternative supply lines 12, 13, 15; the line 13 to one side of the piston being unrestricted, whilst the line 15 to the other side includes a restrictor 14. To retract the piston 7 using the normal pressure source, air from an accumulator 1 traverses a selector valve 3 and a duct 4 to depress a piston 81 of a shuttle valve 8 and gain access to the retraction side of the piston. Air on the upper, i.e. the extension side is exhausted through a valve 9, a line 5 and a port 6. In the event of failure of the accumulator 1 and using the alternative pressure supply to effect extension, air from the accumulator traverses the valve 11, line 13 and valve 8 to the retraction side of the piston 7, and simultaneously but at a slower rate air traverses the restrictor 14, line 15 and valve 9 to build up an equal pressure on the extension side of the piston and extends the same by differential action. In a modification and using the normal supply source 1, Fig. 4, to effect extension, air leaving the valve 8 traverses ducts 93, 94 the valve 9. a duct 97 to displace a piston 22 connected by a rod 20 to a piston 21 of larger cross-section of a shuttle control valve 16 to allow the air to traverse a duct 98 to the retraction side of the piston 7. Simultaneously but at slower rate air traverses the restrictor 14 and line 15 to build up an equal pressure on the extension side of the piston 7 and also on the piston 21 to displace the latter to its former position and thereby connect the retraction side of the piston 7 to exhaust through the line 98 and an exhaust port 18 and thus render the piston 7 free to be extended. When using the alternative pressure .supply 10 to effect extension air displaces the piston 81 of valve 8 to gain access to the line 93 after which the action is as described using the normal air supply.
