WILLIAM A. SMITH, OF PHILLIPSBURG, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE DENVER ROCK DRILL MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF DENVER, COLORADO, A CORPO- RATION OF DELAWARE.
MOTOR.
Patented Dec. 20, 1921.
Application filed October 16, 1916, Serial No. 125,945. Renewed Mayfl, 1921. Serial No.468,170.
To all whom it ma'y concern:
Be it known that}, WILLIAM A. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Phillipsburg, in the county of Warren and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Motors, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to motors operated by fluid under pressure, and more particularly is of the valveless type.
It has been proposed in tools of this character to control the admission of motive fluid by necks extending from the piston head proper, and in certain instances these necks have also performed the function of a hammer extension that delivers the blow to the tool, either directly, or through the interposition of a tappet. In one type in which a rear extension or neck has been employed, the neck has constituted solely the motive ,fluid controlling means, and is not only inactive in receivlng pressure from the motive fluid, but actually detracts from the power obtained because of the surface it occupies at its juncture with-the piston head, which surface is thus made idle. In the modern development of this type of tools, moreover, where rapid and relatively heavy blows are given, unless these necks are of material thickness, they are apt to break off, so that their cross sectional area with respec to the piston head must be relatively great.
One of the primary objects of the present invention is to provide a construction of this type, wherein the surface of the piston head occupied by the junction therewith of the neck and thus made inactive, is compensated for by an active surface provided upon the neck, and as a result, a surface equal to the entire cross sectional area of the piston head is secured on the active or striking blow of the hammer.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a tool with the piston in one extreme position, and
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the piston in the opposite extreme position.
Similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In the embodiment illustrated, a cylinder member is employed, comprising a body 3 having a rear head 4 and a front head 5, to which is connected 2. suitable tool holder or chuck 6, a dolly 7 being illustrated as the tool mounted in the holder or chuck. The cylinder body is provided with a bore 8 which may be termed a head chamber, the rear head being provided with a distinctive chamber 9 of smaller diameter, which may be considered-a neck chamber. The front head 5 is also provided with a bore 10, ,which I have also entitled a neck chamber.
so that the piston can be reversed and either end used as the hammer extension. This materially lengthens the life of the piston.
The neck 12 has a reduced portion 14 contiguous to its juncture with the head 11, and the neck 13 also has a reduced portion 15 also adjacent to the head 11. These two reduced portions 14. and 15 form in effect annular grooves or channels on opposite sides of the piston head. The portions of the necks l2 and 13 directly adjacent to the head 11 are in the form of bosses 14 and 15 which fit the inner ends of the neck chambers 9 and 10 so as to substantially close the same and trap the motive-fluid on opposite sides of the head 11 at the ends of its stroke, so as to produce cushions whenever the head for any reason makes a stroke the extreme length of the head chamber. Motive fluid supplied from any suitable source is conducted by suitable means,not shown,to
a supply port 16, and from this supply port,
oppositely extending channels 17 and 18-lead to annular grooves 19 and 20 formed respectively in the heads 4 and 5 and surrounding the chambers 9 and 10. An exhaust port 21 opens into an intermediate portion of the 'head chamber 8, communicating with an in- When motive fluid is admitted through the port 16, if the piston is in the position shown in Fig. 1, the fluid is cut off from the front end of the head chamber by the front end of the neck 13, but can flow through the channel 17, and oove 14 into the rear end of the head cham er 8 behind the piston 11. The piston head being. behind the exhaust ort 21 and channel 22, the portion of the head chamber 8 in advance of the piston is open to the atmosphere, and consequently the piston will be driven forwardly to strike its blow. In connection with this forward movement, it will be noted that the motive fluid which enters behind the piston head- 11 will also flow through the channel, 23 into the rear end of the neck chamber 9, and consequently against the rear end of said neck. Therefore the rear surface 25 of said neck and the rear surface 26 of the head are both acted on simultaneously, and a pressure surface equal in extent to the entire cross sectional area of the piston head 11 is securedf As the piston advances, the rear end of the rear neck 12 will cut off communication between the channel 17 and the rear end of the head chamber 8, While the front channel 18 will be brou ht into communication with the front end 01 the head chamber 8 in advance of the piston 11 as seen in Fig. 2. The piston head 11 will also cross the groove 22 and.
exhaust port 21, so that now the motive fluid will act against the front end of the piston head 11 and the motive fluid in rear of said head can exhaust freely. It will also be noted that the neck chamber 9 is also opened 7 only against the rear surface 26 of the head 11, but also against the rear surface 25 of the neck 12.
With this construction therefore a heav striking blow can be secured,-and the diameter of the neck 12 which controls the supply of motive fluidto the rear face of the head, may also be relatively great, inasmuch as the surface thus occupled by the neck is compensated for by the surface at the rear end of the neck."
From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of theherein described invention will bea parent to those skilled in the art, without urther description, and it will be understood that variouschanges in the size, shape, proportion. and minor details of construc- .tion may be resorted to without departin from the spirit or sacrificing any of the a vantages of the invention.
Havin thus fully described my invention, what I c aim'as new,-and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-
