GEORGE JAMES GAWLEY, 0F FLEET, ENGLAND.
PERCUSSIVE TOOL.
1,2,25 61,12; Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. April 24, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnoncn JAMns GAw 1.121, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Kent House, Fleet, Hampshire, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Percussive Tools, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to means whereby atmospheric pressure may be used as the motive force in delivering percussive blows such as is necessary in using chisels, calking tools, percussive drills, hammers and the like.
The means which I employ for the purposes of my invention comprise a piston sliding in a cylinder or chamber, completely closed at one end in such a manner that admission of air, on one side of the piston, is impossible, whereby the relative movement of the said piston and cylinder in one direction will tend to create a vacuum, while the return movement will be effected by the atmospheric pressure.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents in sectional elevation the simplest application of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section illustrating a modification of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33, Fig. 2, but drawn to a larger scale than the said figure, and
Fig. 4 is a view drawn to the same scale as Fig. 2 but showing the parts in a differ ent position.
In the arrangement shown in Fig. l, a indicates the cylinder, which is completely closed at the end Z) and which for convenience I will refer to as the head of the cylinder, the said head being shaped so that it can be, for instance, placed in contact *ith the object to be driven, say, for instance, a nail or have formed in it a socket as indicated by the dotted lines o intowhich a chisel, calking tool, or other instrument can be introduced.
0 is a piston sliding within the cylinder a and secured to a rod (Z, the end of which latter projects through the rear end of the cylinder and is provided with a knob or handle so that it can be readily grasped to withdraw the said piston and create a vacuum between the same and the head Z).
It will be understood that when the piston c has been so drawn out and is released that Patented May 8, 1%17.
Serial No. 93,291.
the air which enters behind the piston will act upon the latter and drive it forward so that it will impinge upon or against the head 7) with a momentum corresponding with the weight of the piston and rod and the velocity.
In the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 2 to 4c the piston, instead of being pulled outward to produce the vacuum, is held stationary, the cylinder being moved relatively thereto. This apparatus comprises an outer cylinder 0 closed at one end by a disk f and having at the other end an anvil 9 upon which the blows of the tool are delivered, the said anvil being, as shown, formed with a collar it between which and a collar 71 of the cylinder 6 a spring j is placed. Within the cylinder 6 is arranged the vacuum cylinder 7; the ends of: which are closed by disks Z, Z while within the said cylinder is arranged a vacuum piston m. The said vacuum cylinder 6 is connected by rods 72, n with a handle 0 which in turn is fixed to a cylinder p which telescopes upon the cylinder 6, sutlicient space being left between the said cylinders 72 and c to allow of the introduction of a spiral spring 9. The vacuum piston m has attached to it a hammer face 1" and has also connected to it a rod 8 which slides through the disk Z of the cylinder is; the outer end of the said rod 3 is notched at a, as shown in Fig. 3 and has arranged in conjunction with it spring pawls 24 designed to be separated by the wedge 1) upon the handle 0 when the latter reaches the limit of its inward movement.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows Assume the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 52, which is the normal position of the apparatus when not in use, the operator now takes the apparatus in his hands and pushes in the outer cylinder 7) against the pressure of the spring 9 with the result that the inner cylinder 70, which is connected with the cylinder 29 by the rods a, n is pushed inward so that its end Z is moved away from the piston m to the position shown in Fig. t, a vacuum being thereby formed between them.
As the cap or handle 0 reaches the extremity of its inward movement, the wedge 11 comes into operative connection with the pawls u and separates them so that the head of the piston rod 8 is disengaged from the said pawls with the result that, under the at c is released the latter is returned from the position shown in Fig. 4: to that shown in Fig. 2 under the action of the spring 9 when the operation hereinbefore described can be repeated.
The apparatus shown in Figs. 2 to 4 is primarily designed for driving nails, for which purpose the cylinder 6 has at the striking end a yielding spring foot to applied to it, the said foot being formed with aseries of slots :or openings to facilitate the adjustment of the tool. It will be understood, however, that a holder might be provided for a chisel or other tool.
