Application December 18, 1934, Serial No. 758,077 13 Claims. (01. 102-11) This invention relates to anchoring means, and more particularly to an improved tamping means for retaining a blasting cartridge in a blast hole drilled in the material to be broken.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved anchoring means. Another object is to provide an improved tamping means for a blast role. Yet another object is to provide an improved hole tamping means having a plurality of resilient holding elements for gripping the walls of the blast hole to provide a seal to prevent the blowing out of the blasting charge and for anchoring the blastiii-gcartridge in position in the blast hole. Still another object is to provide an improved tamping, describable as an umbrella tamping, having a plurality of cup-shaped rubber discsfor gripping the walls of the blast hole for maintaining the blasting cartridge in the blast hole and to provide a seal for the blasting charge. A further object is to provide an improved blast hole tamping means which may be easily and quickly placed in tamping position ina blast hole. These and other objects and advantagesof' the invention will, however, more fully appear in the course of the following description and as more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing there is shown for purposes of illustration one form which the invention may assume in practice.
In this drawing,--
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing a blasting cartridge in blasting position in a blast hole drilled in thematerlal to be blasted and with which the illustrative form of the improved tamping and hole sealing means is associated.
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the improved tamping and hole sealing means.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing one of the resilient sealing and gripping cups.
Fig. 4 is an end view of one of the sealing and gripping cups.
In this illustrative construction there is shown an improved hole tamping and sealing means, generally designated I, aptly describable as an umbrella tamping means, adapted to be inserted in a blast hole A drilled in the material to be broken, for sealing the outer end of the blast hole and for retaining a blasting cartridge B in blasting position in the blast hole. The blasting cartridge B may be of any suitable type,
, butis herein preferably of the type known as a .precharged air'shell". The sealing and tamping means I comprises a central body 2 having a supporting-and positioning portion 3 and mounted on this body is a plurality of yieldable hole gripping and sealing elements 4, there being three herein shown, but obviously more or less may be provided as desired. The tamping body 2 is herein in the form of an exteriorly threaded rod 5 having threaded thereon at different points along its length a plurality of collars 5 held in adjusted position on the rod by locking nuts 6 and each provided with an annular groove 1 for receivinga central body portion of a cup-shaped resilient disc 8, herein preferably composed of rubber or similar resilient material. The supporting and positioning means 3 is in the form of an elongated handle secured at 9 to the outer end of the rod-like portion 2, and adapted to be grasped by the operator for positioning the tamping means in the blast hole.
In the use of the improved hole sealing and tamping means, it will be noted that after the precharged air shell B is inserted in the blast L hole A the operator grasps the handle 3 of the tamping means and quickly shoves the same within the outer end of the blast hole, as shown in Fig. 1, into a position wherein the cup-shaped elements 4 yieldably engage the walls of the blast hole bore. When the blasting charge is released from the cartridge B, the pressure in the blast hole acting on the inner end of the tamping means causes the cup-shaped elements to expand radially, thereby to grip the walls of the hole bore, and as a result sealing the outer end of the blast hole to prevent a blow-out of the blasting charge and to provide an anchor for pre venting ejection of the blasting cartridge, due to its recoil, from the hole. When the blasting charge is released from the cartridge and the material to be broken is broken down, the tamping means is reclaimed for use in the next succeeding blast hole.
As a result of this invention it will be noted that an improved tamping means is provided for use with a blasting cartridge of the pre-charged type known as an air shell", which may be quicklyplaced in position after the shell has been positioned within the blast hole. It will further be noted that by the provision of plurality of resilient rubber cups, an anchoring means is provided for a blasting cartridge, thereby reducing the possibility of the ejection of the cartridge from the blast hole. Further, by the provision of a series of resilient cups an efiective seal for the hole is provided for preventing a blow-out of the blasting charge. These and other objects and advantages of the hole tamping and sealing means will be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.
While there is in this application specifically described one form which the invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that this form of the same is shown for purposes of illustration and that the invention may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims, I
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
