Specification of Letters Patent... PatentedFeb, 22"1916 Application filed I111 2s,191'5., seria1no.41,97s.j 1 a 1 To all'whomz't mag concern: f
Be it known that I, OKEY HILL DE VAUGHN, a citizen of the United States, re-
siding at Parkersburg, in the county of lVood and State of West Virginia, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Saddle-Springs for Drills; and I do declare the following to be a 'full, clear,
and exact description of the'invention, such .as will enable others skilled inthe art to which itappertains to make and use the same.
.This invention relates to improvements in drilling machinesand more particularly to saddlesprings therefor; E
The object of thelnvention is to provide a simplyoconstructedand efiicient device-of.
this character for use 'in connection with wire lines or soft cables to prevent jars on the rig or derrick and whichis designed to be, mounted on the walking beam of the apparatus.
With this and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and the combination and arrangementof parts as willybe more'fully described and claimed.;*
representsa side elevation of one end ofa saddle spring applied; F ig. 2 is a horizontal. section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3is an end elevation thereof.
In the embodiment illustrated this improved device is shown applied to the upper substantially rectangular frame-composed of a base plate 1 here shown rectangular in form although obviously'it may be of any other desired configuration and which is provided at its corners with standards 2 risingtherefrom and which are here shown composed of angle irons L-shaped :in cross section. The flanges 3 of-said standards at the sides of the base plate 1 project at their upper ends above the, other flanges.
thereof and are apertured to provide bearings for rods or bolts & and-5' which extend transversely across the frame through the. apertures in the upper endsof the flanges 3 and which are designed to support the op-,
posite ends ofaztop plate 6." This top plate showin f this improved 6 is of'a width equal to the distancebetween v I V g the apertured side flanges 3 of the opposed standards as is shown clearly in Fig; 2 and the ends of said plate are rolled downwardly and inwardly to for-mjbearing's 7 through which the bolts 4 and 5 passjand i connect said top plate to the standards 2. The base plate 1=is shown provided with a plurality ofupwardly extending bosses 8 any desired number ofwhich may beem'e ployed, eight being hereshown arranged in two parallel rows of four each and which are des gned to receive one end of coiled cushioning springs '9 hereinafter more fully described. 1 This base plate 1 is secured to the walking beam VVB by bolts '10 which extendthrough apertures suitably disposed in said plate and vertically through the walking beam, as clearly-shown in Fig. 1 a
andbv means of which said plate is reliably secured to said beamv The top plate 6 is provided-on its inner face with a plurality of. depending bosses 11, any desired number of. which may be employed, four being preferably employed arranged at the oppositelcorners respec- V tively of said plate. Thesebosses 11 and In the accompanyingdrawlngs; Figure 1 the bosses 8 of thebase plate are both shownthe inner ends ofcoiled springs 12 which are smaller than thezsprings 9 supportedon the bosses 8 of the base plate...-
An intermediate plate or head 13 is mounted to move-vertically betweenithe base and' top-plates and is of a length to v adapt it to fit between the flanges ofthe standards so that thesefiangesrform-iguides for' said head to retain itpagainstlongitudinail and lateral displacement This inter mediate plate 13 is provided on itsjlower face with a plurality of: depending bosseslet which correspond in shape and'number to thebossesS of the baseplateand are positioned to register therewithand to receive the upperxen'dsof the coiled springs 9 as is shown clearly in Fig 1. "Thisintermediate plate l3is also provided at its opposite side edges with longitudinallyi eXte'ndingribs 15 which taper toward :their oppo-f site-ends'and are provided at theirgcentral wider portions withnotches 16 which register with each other and are designedf to re ceive a stirrup Cwhich' is connected with. the crank shaft" (not shown); Thezhead 13 is also provided on its upper face with up-- wardly extending bosses 17 which register with the bosses-ll on the top plate and correspond in shape and number therewith and are designed to receive the lower ends of the cushioning springs 12. The springs 12 are shown more closely 'coiled'than the springs 9 and hence the cushioning effect thereof varies correspondingly.
From the above descriptiomit will be.ob-'
. viousthat the springs 9 and 12 cushion the movement of the intermediate plate 13. in both directions, a downward pull exerted on, the end opposite that carrying thesaddle serving to, raiseithe saddle carriedend and compress the springs 9 and on the release of i said pull these springs expand and thus cushion or :break :the direct vibration from the tools to the crank and thus. all jars on the crank shaft are prevented, said springs operating as shock absorbers.
From the'above description and an in spection of Fig. 1 it will be understood that the springs 9' are normally expanded and force. the head 13 and beam WV. 'B-QYLVVdY from each other, thereby compressing springs 12 betweensaid head 13 and the topplatefi, and when a pull down is exerted on the stirrup C the springs 9. are compressed while springs 12 expand and thereby cush ion the movement of the walking beam in both directions and when the pull on the stirrup. is released, the springs 9 expand and springs 12: contract thus cushioning the upward movement of the beam. It is of course understood that the cabl or wireline is connected with the other endof the walking beam W. B. (not shown;)L The springs. 9 and 12 in; the structure above described may beremovedand others:
of different :tension substituted when desired accordingto the weight they are! to support as it will bejunderstood that with drilling machinesthe depthof the hole be ing drilled controls the weight carried by I the springs.
