ANCHOR DEVICE PULL GAUGE Filed Dec. 14, 1955 4 zzz/erzi'ar fudolpfi Ellerrslrum Qmitblh ANCHOR DEVICE PULL GAUGE Rudolph E. Herrstrum, Rockford, Ill., assignor to Greenlee Bros. & (10., a corporation of Illinois Application December 14, 1955, Serial No. 553,059
11 Claims. c1. 73-141 This invention relates to a testing gauge and, more particularly, to a pull gauge for anchor bolts, nuts, and the like devices.
With anchor bolts, nuts and the like which are secured at one end in some anchoring material, it is often desirable to ascertain the pull sustainable by such bolts and nuts before using them for anchoring purposes.
The general object of this invention is to provide a new and improved anchor device pull gauge.
Another object of this invention is to provide such a gauge which is small enough so that it can readily be held in the hands and used in relatively close quarters, and which is simple to operate and relatively economical to produce.
Another object ofthis invention is to provide such a pull gauge which includes a cylinder and piston device, ofwhich one part is a pulling member and the other part is a pushing member, means for gripping an anchor bolt or the like device on the pulling member, means engageable with the anchoring material on the pushing member, means for causing relative movement between the two members to exert a pulling force on the anchor device, and gauge means for indicating the pull on the anchor device.
A further object of this invention is to provide such a pull gauge wherein the pushing member is a larger cylinder and the pulling member is the piston therein, the piston having a much smaller cylinder formed therein, a fluid passage between the smaller cylinder and the larger cylinder, and a plunger movable into the smaller cylinder and operable to pump fiuid into the larger cylinder and exert a force against the pulling member.
-A more detailed object of the invention is to provide such a pull gauge wherein the plunger is hollow and threadably mounted in the smaller cylinder for movement in and out of the smaller cylinder, by a rotary motion, the outer end of the plunger carrying the pressure gauge, a guard member is secured to the end of the plunger and adapted to act as a manual operating means for turning the plunger in and out of the smaller cylinder and a pressure relief valve is provided to prevent the pulling force from exceeding a predetermined value.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view taken generally through the axis of an embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the pressure relief valve provided in the embodiment of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a left end elevational view taken generally along line 2-2 of Fig. l; and
Fig. 4 is a right end elevational view of the embodi nient shown in Fig. 1.
While the invention herein described is a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention to the specific form and arrangement shown, it being v United States Patent contemplated that various changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
In Fig. 1 an anchor bolt 4 is shown embedded in a mass of anchoring material 5, such as concrete, and has a threaded portion 6 extending externally of the material 5. The gauge disclosed herein is adapted to test or determine the pull sustainable by the anchor bolt 4 and includes a first and relatively large cylinder and piston device, of which one part acts as a. pushing member and the other part acts as a pulling member, means on the pulling member for gripping the threaded portion 6 of the anchor bolt 4, means on the pushing member engageable with the anchoring material 5, a second cylinder and piston device of much smaller diameter,
one part of which is formed on the pulling member and the other part of which is movably mounted thereon, relative movement of the two parts of the second cylinder and piston device causing a much smaller relative movement of the first cylinder and piston device to exert an amplified pull on the anchor bolt 4, and gauge means for indicating the pull on the bolt 4.
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a cylinder member 7 is provided as the pushing member and has an annular flat end surface 8 engageable with the anchoring material 5, a first bore portion 9 and an enlarged bore portion or cylinderlil. The enlarged bore end of the cylindrical member 7 has an end cap 11 secured thereto, a portion 12 being threaded into the enlarged bore portion lt).
A piston member 13, movably mounted in the cylinder member '7, is provided as the pulling member. The piston member 13 has a first end or guide portion 14, slidably fitted in the first bore portion 9, a central enlarged portion 15 forming a piston slidably fitted in the cylinder 10, and a second end portion 16 extending outwardly from the cylinder member 7 and slidably fitted in a hole 17 formed in the end cap 11.
The second cylinder and piston device includes a cylinder 18 of much smaller diameter than cylinder 10 formed in the piston member13 and extending to the end portion 16, and a piston or plunger 19 movably mounted therein to act as a pump for the purpose of varying the pressure of fluid in the cylinder 18. The cylinder ber 20 having a fluid passage therethrough which is normally closed by a pressure relief valve device 21 including a ball valve 22, mounted in a bushing 23 and controlling a port 24 in the bushing. A spring 22 bearing against a hollow gasket 23' threadably mounted in the bushing 23 normally urges the ball 22 into a position to close the port,
In the embodiment shown, the plunger 19 is rotatably mounted in the cylinder 18 by means of external threads 25 on the plunger 19 which are engageable with an internal threaded portion 26 of the cylinder 18. As shown in Fig. 1, the inner end of the plunger 19 has a reduced diameter, smooth, unthreaded portion 18 adapted to be received in the bore 18. The plunger 19 is hollow to form a passage 19' therein, and has its outer end operatively connected to a pressure gauge 27 threaded therein, as indicated at 28. Thus, by turning the plunger 19, the fluid pressure in the cylinders may be varied.
The cylinders and passages are preferably filled with a fluid such as oil. To transmit the pressure developed in the cylinder 18 to a working surface 29 of the piston member 13 which is disposed opposite the end 30 of the large cylinder 10, a passage is provided including a radial port 31 opening at one end to the cylinder 18 and at the other end to an annular recess formed by a [l3 and locked therein by a dowel pin 36.
' 3 beveled edge 32 on the cylinder end 36*. An annular groove 33 is formed in the working surface 29 of the piston 13 when the working surface 29 is disposed against the end 30.
Thus, when the fluid pressure in the cylinder 18 is increased as a result of movement of the plunger 19, the pressure is communicated to the working surface 29 of the piston member 13 to cause relative movement between the piston member 13 and the cylinder member 7. The flat end surface 8 of the cylinder member 7 is urged against the anchoring material 5 while the piston member 13 is urged away from the anchoring material 5. To exert this pressure on the anchor bolt 4 embedded in the anchoring material 5, a chuck means is secured tothe end of the piston member 23. In the embodiment of the invention shown, the chuck means comprises an internally threaded nut member 34 adapted to be threadably secured on the threaded portion 6 of the anchor bolt 4. Member Ed may be provided with other anchor attaching means suitable for nuts or other device. The nut member 34 is fitted into a bore 35 formed in the end portion 14 of the piston member Thus, the movement of the piston member 13 away from the anchoring material 5 exerts a pull on the anchor bolt 4. To allow the flat end portion 8 of the cylinder member '7 to engage the anchoring material 5, the chuck means secured to the piston member 13 is disposed substantially within the bore portion 9 of the cylinder member 7.
To prevent leakage of the fluid from the cylinder memher 7, an O-ring 37 is disposed between the first piston portion 14 and the first bore portion 9 and an G-ring 38 is disposed between the enlarged piston portion 15 and I the enlarged bore portion ill. An (It-ring 3% is disposed etween the plunger U and the cylinder lit to prevent leakage of fluid therefrom. A spring having one end bearing against the end cap ill and the other end bearing against the enlarged portion 15' of the piston member 13 serves to'aid the return movement of the piston 13.
To prevent relative rotation between the cylinder memher 7 and the piston member 13, an external slot 41 extending parallel to the axis of the tem member 13 is engaged by a dowel pin 42 press fitted lira lateral bore 43 formed in the end cap All.
The pressure relief valve 21 is adapted to open at a predetermined pressure to relieve the pressure on the piston member 13 and prevent the pul ng force from exceeding this predetermined value. The pressure relief valve 21 also acts to prevent damage to the pressure indicating gauge 27. The pressure indicating gauge is generally calibrated in pounds per square inch, the pressure relief valve being adapted to open at the maximum pressure indicatable by the gauge. in the embodiment of the invention shown, the working surface 29 of the piston portion 15 has an area of one square inch, the pressure gauge 2'7, thus, being calibrated to read directly in pounds pull. As shown in Fig. 4, the gauge 27 is calibrated to indicate a pull force up to 1,90%] pounds, the pressure relief valve 21 being adapted to open at this value. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the pressure gauge 27 is externally protected by a cup shaped guard member 44 which substantially surrounds the gauge 2'7. The guard member 44 is threaded on the end of the plunger 19, as shown at 45, and is secured thereto by a set screw 46.
The guard member 46 also acts as a manual operating means for turning the plunger 1% into and out of the cylinder 18 and for this reason, the outer surface may be knurled to provide a good hand gripping surface for an operator. As an operator would normally hold the cylinder member 7 with the other hand, the cute surface of the cylinder member 7 may also be knurled.
The operation of this pull gauge is extremely simple, with the operator merely securing the chuck means on the anchor device to be tested and then turning the plunger 19 into the cylinder 18. The power exerted by the operator is greatly amplified by the screw threads 25, 26 and the difference in the effective areas of the piston formed by the end 4'7 of the plunger 19 and the piston 15. The pressure gauge 27 may be calibrated to indicate the pressure being exerted on the anchor device being tested and may be used to determine whether a particular anchor device will maintain a predetermined pressure or the maximum pressure sustainable by a particular anchor device.
