HOLE UNDERREAMER Filed Aug. 16, 1939 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 IIIIIIIIIIIIVIIJI/II/A Patented Dec. 17, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOLE UNDERREAMER Weyman B. Dunlap, In, Houston, Tex. Application August 16, 1939, Serial No. 290,405 9 Claims. (Cl. 255-66).
This invention relates to an underream'er.
An object of the invention is to provide an underreamer specially designed for underreaming, or enlargin'g, the lower ends of holes, or
bores, for receiving foundation piers, piling and the like. I
It is another object of the invention to provide an underreamer shaped to be readily lowered into a hole or bore previously formed and having outwardly movable blades, or cutters, whereby the lower end of the bore may be gradually enlarged to the desired extent, said blades being retractable to permit the ready withdrawal of the underreamer from'the bore, or hole. Theunderreamed 1 bore may then be filled with plastic, concretious material which, when set, will have a relatively large supporting base.
The invention also embodies novel means for expanding, or retracting, the reaming blades, or
cutters.
Another object of the invention is to provide an underreamer having a substantiallycylindrical retainer, or bucket, permanently closed at its lower end and having side slots through which the reaming blades work, said blades being shaped" to gradually move the cuttings inwardly, as the underreamer is rotated, to collect the cuttings within the container or bucket, and, upon retraction of the reaming blades to close said side slots and retain the cuttings within the container upon withdrawal of the underreamer. The invention also embodies novel means for centering the underreamer in the bore during the rotation or operation thereof as well as means for collecting, into the bucket, the loose earth that may be at the bottom of the bore.
The invention also embodies novel guide means for accurately guiding the reaming blades;
With the above and other objects in view the 40 invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein: 40 Figure 1 shows a side elevation of the underreamer, partly in section; showing-the reamer blades retracted.
Figure 2 shows a side elevational view, partly in section, taken at right angles to the view shown 50 in Figure l. I
Figure 3 shows a vertical, sectional view showing the reaming blades in expanded, or active, position.
Figure 4 shows a top plan view, showing the as reaming blades in active position.
Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 shows a lower end view, and
Figure 7 shows a side elevation showing the reamer inaction. 5
Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference designate the same parts in each of the figures the nuineral i designates a container, or bucket, preferably cylindrical in shape and whose lower end 10 is permanentlyxclosed by the lower end plate, or bottom, I, having the centralpilot 3 which is of an inverted, conical shape. 0n opposite sides of the pilot the lower endof the bucket has approximately radial slots 4, 4' and behind them the 15 scrapers 5, 5, which are forwardly pitched so as to gather the loose earth on the bottom of the bore and direct it through the slots 4 into the bucket, or container, I.
At the upper end of the bucket there is a 20 transverse plate 6 which extends a selected distance down into the bucket and whose margins may be secured to the walls of the bucket in any preferred manner as by welding.
On opposite sides of the plate 6 there are the 25 diametrically opposed side slots 1, I, which extend :from adjacent the upper end'of the bucket downwardly to the lower end the'reof.
On opp s te sides of the fixed plate 6. are the reinforcing plates 8, 8, whose upper ends are 0 embraced by the plate- like jaws 9, 9. The fixed plate 6 has a vertical bearing slot ill, at its upper end and a clamp bolt, Ii is fitted through aligned bearings in the overlapping ends of the plates 8 and Jaws 9 and is fitted also through the slot I0 as more clearly shown in Figure 2. The plates 8 have the downwardly and outwardly curved arcuate slots i2, I! cut therethrough to receive the guides studs l3, II which are anchored to the fixed plate 8. These slots are covered by the 40 plate-like blades I4, I! which are fastened, in any preferred manner, as by welding. to the forward sides of the corresponding reinforcin plates 8, I. The outer margins of the blades II are forwardly curved, as more accurately shown in Figures 4. and 5 and terminate in the scraping or reaming edges II, II. The curvature of said blades at their lower ends is such that when the blades are in retracted position they will substantially close the slots 1 as indicated in Figure 5 5 so as to retain the cuttings in the container, or bucket, I.
The upper ends of the plate- like jaws 9, 9 are secured, preferably by welding, to the lower end of the upstanding driving socket member i6 which is preferably square in horizontal, crosssection. It is provided to receive the correspondingly shaped lower end of a driving stem I! which may be retained therein by means of the crosspin l8 fitted through the socket member and the driving stem as shown in Figures 1 and 7.
In operation the blades will be in retracted position within the bucket I as shown in Figures 1 and 2 when lowered into the hole l9. When the underreamer lands on the bottom of the hole the pilot 3 will penetrate into the formation and will hold the bucket centered during rotation. The driving stem I! may then be rotated in an appropriate direction and by any suitable mech anism provided for the purpose. The downward thrust of the driving stein will tend to move the plates 8 and blades i4 downwardly, the clamp bolt H moving downwardly in the slot Ill. During this downward movement of the plates, the blades will also be gradually expanded, that is, their lower ends will be moved radially outwardly due to the pins, or studs, l3 engaging in the outwardly curved cam shaped grooves I2; It, said blades moving outwardly through the slots 7 and finally reaching their extreme outer position as shown in Figures 3 and 7.
As the blades move outwardly they will also gradually move downwardly so that their lower ends move, or thrust, outwardly in a horizontal direction to the end that the lower end of the bore, when underreamed, will lie in a horizontal plane as shown in Figure 7. To accomplish this the lower ends of the blades l4 are cut onthe diagonal, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and terminate in sharp cutting edges. As the underreamer is rotated the blades will come into cutting contact with the sides of the hole and the formation will be gradually reamed away from the side walls at the bottom as the blades are progressively expanded. The forward curvature of the blades will gradually force the cuttings inwardly through the side slots I and when the upper ends of the slotsl2 engage the pins or studs I3 the blades will be fully expanded and the underreaming of the bore will be fully accomplished. The range of outward movement of the blades-and the consequent enlargement of the bore may be determined by the length of the slots l0, l2 and the size of the blades.
Thereu'pon the underreamer may be lifted out of the boreby an upward pull on the driving stem ll. This will operate first to retract the blades inwardly and when the clamp bolt H reaches the upper end of the slot III, the entire tool will then be moved upwardly and may be completely withdrawn from the bore. When the tool reaches the ground surface the driving stem may again be lowered thus moving the blades outwardly and rendering the interior of the bucket accessible so that the contents thereof may be discharged.
The drawings and description are illustrative merely, while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.'
