Definitions
- FIG. 1 a clay gun, generally designated 10 and constructed in accordance with this invention, mounted on a carrier 12 for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis by trunnion l4.
- Carrier 12 is rotatably mounted on a carriage 16 for rotation in a generally horizontal plane about a generally vertical shaft 18 (FIG. 3).
- Carriage 16 is provided with rollers 20 at the upper end thereof which ride on guide tracks 22 suspended from structural beams 23 by means of girders 24.
- gun 10 can be moved along tracks 22 between an operative position of use as shown in full lines in FIG. 1 and a remote out of the way position at a loading station as shown in phantom in FIG. 1.
- Cylinder 30 is provided with a piston 64 connected to a threaded piston rod 66 extending rearwardly into housing 60 and operatively connected to a drive mechanism (not shown) located in housing 60.
- the means for reciprocating piston rod 66 can be conventional and, per se, form no part of the present invention. Reference may be had to US. Pat. Nos. 1,852,560, 1,852,562 and 1,881,479 to illustrate various drive mechanisms that can be incorporated in the present invention to impart reciprocating axial movement to piston 64 while restraining rotational movement thereof relative to cylinder 30.
- a motor 68 (FIG. 1) connected to a suitable source of power (not shown) is mounted on housing 60 for driving the drive mechanism in a suitable manner to impart reciprocating movement to piston 64.
- a cartridge 70 is fed into the open cylinder 30 of gun 10 at loading station 72 by depressing button 114 for rotating the right, lower actuating lever 96 (FIG. 4) in a clockwise direction allowing latch 90 to be released by the weight of the lowermost cartridge 70.
- lever 96 is actuated by depressing button 118 to move latch 90 into its original restraining position.
- the left end stop mechanism 88 is then actuated to release its cartridge 70 onto the lower stop mechanism in readiness for a subsequent loading operation and receives another cartridge 70 from the stacked supply.
- cartridges 70 are bulky and difficult to handle manually.
- a typical cartridge encloses a space of approximately 9 cubic feed and the preferred clay material weighs approximately 200 lb. per cubic feet thereby causing the loaded cartridge to weigh approximately 1,800 lb.
- This specific weight and volume is illustrative only and various sized cartridges having difierent densities can be utilized, as desired, dependent on the particular application.
- the size of cylinder 30 and piston 64 would vary accordingly.
- Cartridges 70 are delivered to guide rails 86 by any suitable loading mechanism.
