DRILLING- Specification of MACHINE.
Application filed September 12, 1910. Serial No. 581,554.
To all echo m it may concern lie it known that ve, Arors'rtis V. Dnaun and lvtmmnt Havana, citizens of the United States, residing at. Lattimer Mines, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Drilling-Machine, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to drilling machines for boring artcsian wells and holes for various purposes in and around mines, uarries, e c. ii
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of drilling machines, and to provide a simple, eflicient. and comparatively inexpensive rotary drilling machine, designed principally for core drilling. and equipped with a main hoisting low speed drum of sutlicient powerto enable it. to be used to lower tools and rods intothc bore hole preparatory to drilling, and to hoist the same to the surface when the core barrel is fillcdand for other purposes, and adapted to be connected with the drill spindle when the same is in use, and capable of ready operation independently of the means for rotating the spindle to frequently raise and lower slightly the drilling tool at the bottom of the bore hole to facilitate the cutting of the rock and to help free tlie ac ciunulatcd chippings they are pumped from the bottom of the bore hole.
A. further object of the invention is to equip the drilling machine with an auxiliary hoisting drum. designed to carry sutlicient rope to extend to the bottom of the bore hole, and adapted to have connected with its rope various tools for driving casing. removing broken or parted rods and tools. drilling through broken strata. but particularly for removing by means of a tapered socket or v holding device cores that fail to come to the surface by the usual means when a core barrel is removed. and capable of operation at: a
high speed when picking up a lost core or fishing out broken rods and tools and in similar operations. thereby effecting an immense saving in time and performing in a few minutes operations which require hours of labor with tubular rods and the slow process ofcoupling and uncoupling the same.
Another object. of the invention is to produce a drilling machine having means for working parts to be readily moved back from the bore hole in order to be out of the way when the auxiliary drum is used for performing any of its various functions.
lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and -.novel combination of parts hereinafter fully -described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed outin the claims hereto appended.

The specification is a disclosure of one form of the invention, while the claims define the actual scope of the invention.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the frame of the machine comprises in its construetion-an approximately oblong base 1, mounted on a sub-base 2 and consisting of a hollow casting having a top, bottom, side and end walls, and reinforced at intervals by transverse webs or flanges 3, slidably mounted on spaced rails 4 of the sub-base. The sub-base is substantially oblong, as clearly. illustrated 'in' Fig. 145 of the drawings, and the spaced rails, which form guides for the frame of theamachine, are hollow and are formed integral with the bottom plate and are connected at intervals by transverse webs or flanges 5. The guiding rails have horizontal top ortions beveled at opposite sides and provi ed with longitudinal slots 6 for the reception of bolts 7 for securing the base in its adjusttory operating lever 22.
or beveled upper portions of the guiding rails and beveled at their inner side'edges to conform to the configuration of the same.
The bottom of the sub-base is extended laterall beyond the guiding rails to form longitu inal projecting ledges-or flanges 11., and perforated bosses or enlargements 12 are provided at intervals along the flanges 11 for the reception of bolts, or other suitable fastening means for securing the subbase to the sills or other frame-work upon which the machine ismounted atthe place where it is to be operated. The front end of the sub-base is provided with an approximately semi-circular recess 13, and is flared at opposite sides of the same and is adapted to extend partially around the bore hole and to support the frame of the machine at opposite sides thereof. The frame of the machine slidable backwardly and forwardly toward and from the bore hole to enable a drill spindle 14 to be arranged over the' same and also to be carried back- 'wardly out of the way of the bore hole to expose the latter to permit operations other than drilling to be performed, as hereinafter fully ex lained. The bottom of the base is rovide with a central series of drain openings 15, and the sub-base is provided with wntral and side drain openings 16 and 17, the side drain openings being located at the bottom of the hollow guiding rails.
The backward and forward adjustment of the frame of the machine on the base is effected by means of horizontal racks 18, located at opposite sides of the sub-base and supported by brackets 19 and meshing with opposite pinions 2'0, keyed or otherwise sedared to a transverse-shaft, 21. The transverse shaft, which extends across the base,

The bolts are in- I 50 enable the side walls with openings 9, adapted to afford access to the nuts of the inverted bolts 7 to justment. The openings 9 are of sutiicient size to permit a wrench to be-introduced into theahollow base from the-exterior for operating the nuts, and any number of bolts 55 may be employed for clamping the frameon l the sub-base. In practice it is preferable to provide an'additional'opening 9 at a point between-the last two bolts, as clearly shown in Fig. :13 of the drawings. This.will en-- 60 able the'rear bolt to be used should the rearward adjustment of theframe carry the rearmost opening beyond the sub-base, The
bottom of the base 1 is provided at its lower face with parallel integral ribs 10,.formin'ges grooves to receive the transversely tapered frame to be-clamped after ad-' pawl 23, arranged to engage the adjacent pinion forrotating the transverse shaft 21.
The-pawl is pivoted at its upper or outer end tothe inner side or face of the operating lever, and it has opposite engaging portions at its other end, adapted to extend be tween the teeth of the adjacent pinion for i connecting the lever with the same. The pawl is adapted to extend from either side ,ofthe lever to engage with the co-act-ing pinion, and'its engaging portions are oppositely beveled and present an engaging shoulder to and are adapted to rotate the pinion when thepawl is moved forwardly, and they present a beveled face or edge to the pinion and ard adapted to ride over the same when the pawl is moved backwardly.
-This renders the pawl automaticin its operclutch face 61, co-acting with a clutch face 62 of the drill spindle clutch 58. The drill spindle clutch 58 is slidably interlocked with the engine shaft by means of opposite keys 63, mounted on the shaft and fitting in corresponding grooves of the drill spindle clutch 58. The drill spindle clutch 58 is limited in its sliding movement by a set collar 58*, and it is provided with an annular groove receiving a thrust collar 64: and havin upper and lower projecting pivots operating 1n slots of a forked portion 65 of a clutch operating lever 66, disposed horizontally and extending outwardly from the drill spindle clutchand pivoted at a point intermediate of its ends in a bifurcation of a bracket 67 by a bolt 68. The bracket, which supports the operating lever 66, consists of a horizontal top portion, a vertical attaching portion and a vertical bracing rib or flange. The attaching portion is bolted or otherwise secured to a flat surface at the rear face of the upper bearing portion of the drill plate stand, and the horizontal top portion is pro-' vided with a plurality of perforations 69, for the reception of a pin'70, connected with the bracket 67 by a chain and adapted to engage a registering perforation of the clutch operating lever 66. The pin is adapted to hold the sliding clutch in or out of engagement with the clutch face of the gear 56. The teeth of the clutch face 62 are shouldered at their front side edges in the direction of movement for rotating the drill spindle, and they are beveled at their ends and are provided at their rear edges with slight shoulders 71, adapted to overcome the tendency to disengage the clutch face of the bevel gear due to back lash.
The longitudinal engine shaft is rotated by a vertical engine mounted upon the base of'the frame and carried by thef latter in its backward and, forward movements on the sub-base, so that the connections between theengine and the main longitudinal or engine shaft 38 are not afiected by such movements. The engine is located in the space between the intermediate and end engine stands 33 and 34, and it comprises in its construction a pair of vertical cylinders 72, spaced apart and having an integral valve chest interposed between the cylinders. Either steam or compressed air may be used as a motive fluid for operating the engine, but an electric -or other motor may be mounted on the frame for rotating the main longitudinal shaft.' .The motive fluid is introduced through a feed or supply pipe 7 3, provided with a suitable throttle valve .74 and also having a valve, which is automaticall controlled by a governor 75. The motive uid is exhaust-l ed through a pipe 76, having a central depending branches, which'are connected with the vertical cylinders. The piston' rods '17. reciproportion and horizdntally disposed.
