JOHN C. MITCHELL, OF AMPERE, NEW JERSEY.
METHOD OF LAYING SECTIONAL PIPES.
specificatiers Patent. Patented Aug. 115, 1911.6,
Application filed lllay 6, 1915. Serial No. 26,231.
' To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN- C. MITCHELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ampere, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Laying Sectional Pipes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. I
In the present advanced state of the art of constructing water conduits, it .is not unusual to build the pipe or conduit in sections of reinforced concrete which, though only' about six feet in length, are of such diameter and mass as to weigh ten tons or more each, and when such sections are laid, particularly in tunnels or confined trenches, it becomes a most serious problem to provide means for handling, transporting and placing the sections economically and in such manner as to insure the proper ali'nement of each section as laid. To accomplish the desired result in this regard, I have devised an apparatus which answers perfectly all practical requirements and renders the laying of such pipes an easy and simple matter.
My present application has forits subject this apparatus, and while the specific. details of the same are hereinafter more fully set forth and illustrated by reference to the drawing, I may now describe in 'a general way those features which distinguish the same and constitute what I'understand to be its novel, and patentable features.
I employ, in the first place, a fourwheeled truck, which is designed to run on a track extending from any desired point up to the end of a laidsection of pipe, which it is the purpose to extend by the addition of another section or sections. This truck carries a motor by means of which it may bepropelled back and forth over the track, and Y other operations performed as may be required. 7
On the forward part of the truck a vertical support is placed, which according to good engineering practice would be preferably an A-standard, and pivotally connected thereto at or near its top is'a strong I-beam, the rear end of which is connected by a chain to a hoisting device on the truck which is designed to be operated, when necessary, by the engine.
When a pipe section is to be put in place in' the line of pipe, it is hoisted out or lowered over the track in front of the truck, the 1-" beam, by the forward movement of the truck,
threaded through the section, and the chain t ghtenedto bring the I-beam into tight or l fting contact with the interior of the section.
The I-beam carries a saddle mounted on a universal joint which impinges upon the in- 'ner surface of the pipe section and allows for a slight subsequent adjustment of the same to facilitate its exact alinement with the laid section.
In addition to the truck above described, and which has four or more wheels, I also employ a two wheeled truck carrying an extensible column or support with a head at the'top adapted-to pass over onto and engage with the I-beam. This truck is then moved up to the forward end of the pipe section, engaged with the I-beam and then elongated by a jack until it takes up the weight on the free end of the beam and supports the pipe section on itself and the A-standard on the four wheeled truck. The rear and forward trucks are then rigidly connected by any suitable means, such as metalbars, and the whole moved up to the laid section of pipe. Within the end-of the latter is an extensible column or support mounted on a temporary base and carrying at itstop an anti-friction head over which the end of the I-beam is run. Then, by a jack in the column, the latter is extended until it takes up the weight on the forward end of the beam, relieving that on the two a wheeled truck.
permits, is run back on the beam and into the section of pipe. This permits the latter to be brought up snug with the end of the laid section, and by the manipulation of a lateral adjusting means on the column inside the laid section, the new pipe section is brought into perfect alinement, the joint connected and a foundation built under the new section. I
The support constituted by the two wheeled truck is then shortened, the chain erally, merely indicating such devices in a more or. less conventional way, as these, in-
elevation of a pipe section supported by the two trucks. -Fig. 3 shows the same parts and in addition a part of a laid pipe, the end being in section, to exhibit the supporting column arranged therein. Fig. 4 is a general view of a tunnel or trench, showmg the two-wheeled truck shortened and forced back into the pipe section, and the forward end of the beam resting on the column Within the laid section.
The four-wheeled truck A, running on a track B, carries a motor, represented by C, and a stout standard D to which the I-beam E is pivotally connected.
A chain F is connected to the rear end of the beam and to a hoisting device G, and a saddle H, is shown as placed on the I-beam and provided with a universal joint K. The pipe section to be laid is marked L, and the two-wheeled truck, with a jack M and a head N to engage with and run or slide along the beam, are shown as detached from the.
rear truck in Fig. 1, but opera'tively connected therewith by rods 0, in Figs. 2 and 3.
InFigs. 3 and 4, the end of the laid pipe is shown with the movable column P, mounted therein. This'latterhasan anti-friction head R, a jack S for its longitudinal adjustment, and a device T by which it may be laterally adjusted.
It will be understood that as soon as a pipe section is adjusted in position, the track under it may be removed, if so desired, before the bed of concrete or other material is put in under the new section of pipe.
This device has proved in operations carried out on a very large scale to be a great saver of time, labor and expense, and has proved an engineering accomplishment of the highest value.
What I claim is:
1. An apparatus for transporting and laying large pipe sections, comprising, in combination, three cooperating elements, a truck and horizontal beam supported thereon to be threaded throu h a pipe section, a truck with a longitudlnally adjustable support for the forward end of the beam, and a longitudinally adjustable support adapted to be placed in a laid section of pipe and to take up the weightnof the forward end of the beam when the latter is introduced into said laid section.
2. In an apparatus of the kind described,
the combination with a truck, a horizontal 3. In an apparatus of the kind described,
the combination with a truck, a horizontal .beam pivotally supported thereon, and
means for tilting the beam, of a saddle connected to the beam by a universal joint, a truck having a longitudinally adjustable support for engaging with the beam, and adapted to be forced back into a pipe section on the saddle when sufficiently short ened, whereby a pipe section on the beam may be brought into intimate engagement with the end of a laid section. I
4. The combination with a truck having a horizontal beam adapted to carry a pipe section, of a longitudinally adjustablesupport adapted to be set in the end of a laid pipe section to receive and support the end of the beam when, a new section is brought thereon into engagement with the laid section.
5. The combination with a truck having a horizontal beam adapted to carry a pipe section, of a longitudinally, and. laterally adjustable support adapted to be set in the end of a laid pipe section to receive and support the end of the beam when anew section is brought thereon into engagement with the laid section, and to facilitate the alinement of such new section.
6. An apparatus for laying heavypipe sections, comprising, in combination, the following instrumentalities: a beam for threading and sustaining a pipe section, traveling front and rear supports therefor, a fixed longitudinally adjustable support adapted to be set in a previously laid section to receive and support the forward end of the beam when the pipe section is brought up to a laid section, both the forward and the fixed supports being removable through the pipe section when said section, supported by them, has been brought up to and secured in proper alinement with the laid section.
.In testimony whereof I affix any signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
