Arlington Heights, Ill. (both Braco Manufacturing Co., 500 N. Hough St., Harrington, TIL); said Breitenstein assignor to said Bard Filed Jan. 30, 1957, Ser. No. 637,148 9 Claims. (Cl. 123-7) This invention is concerned with an internal combustion percussive device and more particularly with improvements associated with a free piston engine in a percussive device.
Internal combustion percussive devices are used extensively to break up concrete, drill holes, tamp earth, cut asphalt and other similar operations. It is a general object of this invention to provide an improved internal combustion percussive device which is easier to start and easier to handle than devices which have heretofore been known.
One feature of the invention is the provision of such a device including a cylinder, a piston freely movable therein, a source of fuel and a starting device having an inlet connected to be supplied with a fuel-air mixture and an outlet connected directly to the cylinder. Another feature is that the starting device includes a piston which may be readily operated to inject a fuel-air mixture into the cylinder to start the engine, without need for depressing the piston of the engine.
Still another feature isv the provision of an ignition system including a normally open ignition circuit and means responsive to the pressure in the combustion chamber for closing the ignition circuit and further means responsive to increased pressure in the combustion chamber upon firing to break the ignition circuit.
Yet a further feature is that the piston has a striking portion extending downwardly therefrom for striking the top of a standard tool, and a bushing in the cylinder receives the striking portion of the piston and seals the lower end of the cylinder.
Another feature is that the device is provided with handles and resilient spring means for mounting the handles on the cylinder.
Further features and advantages of the invention will readily be apparent from the following specification and from the drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary side view, partly in elevation and partly in section of a device embodying the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a top plan View thereof; and
FIGURE 3 is a schematic drawing of the device, illustrating the operation.
Referring first to FIGURES 1 and 2, a cylinder has a piston 11 freely movable therein and provides an up per or combustion chamber 12 above the piston and a lower or fuel and air mixing chamber 13 below the piston. The lower end of the cylinder 10 is closed by a removable tool holding and guiding member 14 which carries a tool 15, the portion 15a of the tool extending through the guide member and presenting a striking surface 15b to the interior of the cylinder. Extending downwardly from the main body portion of piston 11 is a stem or tail portion 16, slidably received in the bore 17a of piston tail bushing 17 removably carried within the cylinder. A seal 18, as an O-ring of resilient material, is inserted between bushing 13 and the inner wall of the cylinder. A coil piston spring 19 is interposed between the piston 11 and the bushing 17, urging the piston/toward an upper or compression position, as shown in the drawing; and a cushion spring 59 is provided between bushing 17 and tool guide 14.
The tail portion 16 of piston 11 has a close sliding fit in bushing 17, and together with seal 18, seals the lower end of cylinder 10. This permits the use of a standand tool 15 with a hexagonal shank (this being the usual type of tool commercially available) without need for a seal between the tool shank and the tool guide 14.
A housing 25 outside the cylinder and extending part way therearound provides a fuel tank 26, an ignition compartment 27 and the cylinder 28 of a starting device. A spark plug 29 is mounted in the top of the cylinder and extends into combustion chamber 12 for igniting the fuel. A U-shaped bracket 263 secured to the cylinder has mounted thereon resilient leaf spring elements 21 which extend transversely of the device and have handle or gripping portions 22 at their outer extremities.
Turning now more particularly to FIGURE 3, the starting of the engine and operation of the ignition system will be described. Cylinder 28 of the starting device is provided with a piston 30 having a push rod extending upwardly therefrom and terminating in an operating handle 31. Piston 30 is first depressed to exhaust air from cylinder 28, then as the piston 30 is pulled up, gasoline from fuel tank 26 is drawn through adjustable needle valve 32 and past check valve 33, mixing with filtered air which is simultaneously drawn in through check valve- 33, providing a fuel-air mixture in chamber 13. The fuel-air mixture is drawn through inlet passage. 34 and check valve 35 into cylinder 28. When piston 30 is pushed down again the fuel-air mixture in cylinder 28 is forced through check valve 36 and outlet passage 37 into combustion chamber 12.
The ignition system operates (as will be more fully described later) to provide a spark, igniting the fuel in the combustion chamber and driving the piston downwardly. On the downstroke of piston 11 the fuel-air mixture in mixing chamber 13 is compressed until the piston clears intake port 40 whereupon the fuel is forced through check valve 41 into combustion chamber 12. At the same time the waste gases are expelled through exhaust port 42. At the end of the downstroke, when the piston is at its lower or exhaust position, the lower face 16a of the piston stem strikes the upper surface 15b of the tool directly, performing the desired Work. Any accompanying downward movement of the bushing 17 is cushioned by spring 59. On the return stroke of piston 11, primarily effected by return spring 19, the fuel-air mixture in combustion chamber 12 is compressed and fresh charges of gasoline and air are drawn through needle valve 32 and check valve 33 to mix in chamber 13, the engine operating on the two-cycle principle. Check valve 41 may be eliminated if desired, as the major portion of the compression in chamber 12 occurs after piston 11 has closed intake port 40.
The ignition system includes a suitable source of Voltage, as battery 45, a manual i nition switch 46 and a high voltage ignition coil 47 which is in turn connected with the spark plug 29. An ignition timer switch assembly indicated generally as 43 is connected in series with battery 45 and switch 46 in the low voltage portion of the ignition circuit. The timer switch assembly 48 includes a fixed contact 49, a pair of movable contacts 50 and 51 mounted on a flexible leaf member 52, and a contact 53 mounted on flexible lea-f member 54. A piston 55 is movable in a cylinder 56 which is connected through passageway 57 with the combustion chamber 12.
As the pressure increases in combustion chamber 12, due either to the operation of the starting device or to the upward movement of piston 11, the piston 55 is forced upwardly closing normally open contacts 53 and 51, thus completing the primary circuit for ignition coil 47 and providing the necessary high voltage at spark plug 29. When the fuel-air mirture in combustion chamber 12 ignites, the force of the explosion causes piston 55 to move farther upwardly forcing contact 5'3 away from fixed contact 49, breaking the ignition circuit. The shoulder 55a on piston engages the wall of the cylinder 56 stopping the upward movement of the piston. T his timed operation of the ignition system prevents ignition of the next charge of fuel which is forced into combustion chamber 12 on the downward movement of piston 11.
The piston 30 of the starting device is forced to its upper position during operation of the hammer by the pressure developed in the fuel mixing chamber 13. Thus, the primer cylinder 23 is normally filled with a fuel-air mixture. When the hammer stops, either intentionally or accidentally, it may be easily restarted within a short time by merely pushing piston 30 down to inject a fresh fuel charge into combustion chamber 12, increasing the pressure therein and actuating the spark to re-initiate engine operation.
The use of a single integral body casting 25 for the fuel and air supply means, the starting device and the ignition means is of considerable advantage in providing an assembly which withstands the vibration present in a device of this type. As a further advantage of enabling fuel regulating, ignition and starting controls to be placed conveniently to the operator, and with a. minimum of outside connections.
While we have shown and described certain embodiments of our invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes, therefore, in the construction and arrangement may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the appended claims.
