The entire device is supported by a cable 18 which is suspended by the boom of a crane (not shown). Cable 18 is attached to a handle 20 connected to upper frame 12. A bias weight of significant weight generally on the order of 2,000-8,000 pounds is attached to upper frame 12. Preferably, upper frame I2 is filled with a lead mass 2l.
  • a pair of rotating shafts 22, 22a (FIG. 6) on which are affixed respectively an eccentric weight 24, 24a.
  • Weights 24, 24a are rotated along with shafts 22, 22a by hydraulic .motors 26, 26a (FIGS. l-4 and 6), the details of which are not described since they are conventional. That is, hydraulic motors for driving an eccentric weight rotatably about the shaft axis are well known.
  • a hydraulic fluid supply line 28 is attached to each of motors 26, 26a as well as a hydraulic fluid return line 30. Lines 28 and 30 are connected to an appropriate and conventional hydraulic fluid source and depending on the magnitudel and flow rate of the fluid supplied through line 28, the speed of motors 26, 26a can be easily varied.
  • weights 24, 24a are properly synchronized out of phase, lateral forces are canceled as will be described in more detail hereinafter.
  • a pair of jaws 32 and 34 are secured to the lower end of frame 14 and extend downwardly a distance in opposed relationship to receive'a piling or the like therebetween.
  • a piston 36 secured in a housing 78 is movable into clamping position with a piling positioned be- .tween jaws 32 and 34 to positively clamp the piling between jaw 32 and the head of piston 36.
  • piston 36 is self-aligning during actuation,'the details of which will be described hereinafter.
  • upper support frame 12 is formed by a plurality of steel plates into a shell 40.
  • Shell 40 has a general box-like arrangement forming side sections 42, 42a and midsection 44. the side sections 42, 42a extend downwardly beyond midsection 44 and in fact overlap lower support frame 14 while midsection 44 is spaced above lower frame I4.
  • a pair of elongated plates 46 are attached to the front and rear face of support frame l2 each plate extending downwardly below the side portions 42, 42a.
  • Each of the sections 42, 42a and ⁇ 44 are preferably filled with lead or other substantially heavy material to provide the bias weight for driving a piling.
  • Elongated plates 46 are utilized to attach upper frame l2 to lowerframe 14.
  • Lower support frame 14 is essentially in the configuration of a rectangular housing formed by a front platel 48 and a rear plate 50 interconnected to each other in a rigid conventional fashion.
  • Support frame 14 includes a bottom plate 52 to which the jaw structure 54 is attached.
  • the width of support frame 14 is slightly less than the spacing of sections 42, 42a of upper frame l2 while the thickness of frame 14 is less than the spacings of the pair of front elongated plates 46, and their respective rear plates so that the entire upper portion of support frame 14 in effect telescopes within the lower portion of upper frame 12.
  • the overlapping portion of elongated plates 46 are utilized to detachably connect the lower frame to the upper frame.
  • the interconnection is achieved by a plurality of rubber discs 16 positioned intermediate the outer surfaces of plates 48 and 50 and the inner surfaces of elongated plates 46.
  • each of the rubber discs has a front and rear plate 58, 60 rigidly fixed to its front and rear ends respectively.
  • the rear plates 60 of the discs are securely attached to plates 48 and 50 of lower support frame 14 by a plurality of bolts 62 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the front plate 58 is likewise secured to the inner surface of the lower portions of elongated plates 46 as illustrated in FIGS. I and 4.
  • the jaw mechanism 54 and vibratory producing mechanism consisting of shafts 22, 22a; weights, 24, 24a and hydraulic motors 26, 26a which are interconnected to lower support frame 14 and all suspended from upper support frame 12 by the rubber discs without any rigid vibration conducting member. lt will be appreciated however that the rigidity of discs 16 is sufficient to support the entire lower support frame 14 as well as allow resilient distortion during vibration.
  • each disc 16 is such that the axis of each disc is generally perpendicular to the direction of movement of the piling.
  • the distortion of each disc is generally along its radii which however can become quite distorted as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the upper frame assembly 12 is illustrated in an upward deflected position (during extraction) relative lower frame 14 with the rubber disc being distorted a substantial distance relative its diameter.
  • the right hand fragment illustrates the device in a relaxed position.
  • the particular discs utilized encompass a rubber of substantial strength permitting distortion slightly greater than their diameter. At maximum distortion, the axis of each disc is at a substantial angle to the plane of the piling for intermittent brief moments.
  • piling is intended to include a variety of elongated structural elements which Vare commonly driven into soil both on dry land and on land which is submerged below water.
  • the term includes items such as stakes, posts, steel sheet piling, H-bearing piling, pipe bearing piling, timber and concrete piling and pipes.
  • the term is thus used in a broad sense and includes both hollow structural elements which are driven into the ground and later filled with poured concrete or sand as well as solid structural elements.
  • the device illustrated in FIGS. 1-6 is intended for heavy duty operation in driving and'extracting for example steel sheet piling exceeding 35 feet in length.
  • the overall weight of the device is on the order of onehalf of existing devices for driving such piling and the effectiveness of its operation is to a large extent dependent on both the unique coacton of the two eccentric weights 24, 24a and the operation of rubber torsion discs 16. Since the forces required to both drive and extract 35 foot sheet pilings are quite large it has been found that pairs of vertically spaced discs 16 are required to permit generation of such forces without failure of the discs. That is, in certain job situations, vertically spaced pairs of discs are required to withstand the displacement forces acting upon the discs. The insulation provided by these multiple and vertically spaced torsion discs is extremely improved over existing devices.
  • the jaw mechanism 54 includes an attachment plate 68 from which ⁇ depend jaws 32 and 34.
  • the particular configuration of jaws 32, 34 will vary depending on the particular type of piling being driven or extracted.
  • Jaws 32, 34 illustrated are of the hairpin variety which include outward deflection portions 70 and 72 which act as a cam or guide when the jaws are being fitted over the sheet piling with the internal flat face portions 74 and 76 being generally parallel and spaced from each other approximately the width of the piling to grip the flat surfaces of the sheet.
  • a housing 78 likewise depends from plate 68 and forms a cover for cylinder 80 (FIG. 5) in which a piston 36 is movable in a direction generally perpendicular to the axis or plane of the piling. Piston 36 is movable through the flat portion 76 of jaw 34 toward the flat portion 74 of jaw 32 to clamp the sheeting therebetween.
  • the piston is hydraulically actuated into clamping engagement and spring biased out of clamping engagement by a spring 82 when the hydraulic pressure is released.
  • An extremely positive clamping force is provided on the order of 62 f tons utilizing an 8 inch clamping cylinder applying 2,500 pounds per square inch.
  • a particular unique feature of the clamping cylinder and piston 36 is that it lies generally loose within housing 78 so that when a clamping force is applied, the cylinder and piston are capable of slight sideways and vertical movement making piston 36 in effect selfaligning with the particular configuration of the piling. Thus, a proper clamp is always achieved eliminating the unintentional presence of superficial loading through misalignment of the clamping piston.
  • Plate 68 is conveniently attached to the lower plate 52 of support frame 14 by a plurality of bolts and nuts 86 clamping plates 52 and 68 together.
  • Housing 78 has an open top for easy service of cylinder 78 and piston 36 upon removal of plate 68.
  • shafts 22 and 22a are rotatably secured between plates 48 and 50 of lower support frame 14.
  • the shafts are mounted in a common plane generally perpendicular to the plane of the piling.
  • An eccentric weight 24, 24a is mounted respectively to each of shafts 22, 22a and driven by separate hydraulic motors 26, 26a. It is highly desirable to synchronize the rotation of each eccentric weight 24, 24a out of phase so that the flats 90, 90a are at all times oppositely disposed to each other.
  • the vibratory forces generated by each eccentric in dir ections lateral to the movement of the piling are canceled while the vibratory forces generated in or parallel to the movement of the pilings are additive in a uniaxial direction producing a uniaxial force.
  • the term uniaxial force as used herein means a cyclicly reversing force exerted along one axis, namely the axis or plane of the piling.
  • similar sized gears 92, 92a are mounted on the ends of shafts 22, 22a for engagement with a continuous chain 94. Since the shafts are counter-rotating relative each other, the engagement of chain 94 respectively with mesh gears 92, 92a is on opposite sides which relationship is achieved by a pair of idler gears 96 and 98 as illustrated in FIG. 6
  • lower frame 14 can be quickly detached from frame l2 by simply removing the outer studs 62 at bushings 16. This permits easy replacement of an alternative upper frame having a lighter or heavier bias weight as desired. This interchangeability adds a great degree of flexibility not heretofore available in the art.
  • mass 2l could be independently attached to frame 12 separate from the particular attachment of frame 14.
  • the device is brought into proper position over a piling such as sheet steel by the manipulation of the crane and boom (not shown) from which the device is suspended by cable 18.
  • the device is lowered with jaw mechanism 54 over the upper lip of a sheeting (not shown), the guidance being assisted by cam surfaces 70, 72 of jaws 32, 34., Preferably, the device is lowered until the upper margin of the sheeting is brought into contact with plate 68.
  • piston 36 is charged with hydraulic fluid advancing the piston into engagement with the side of the sheeting clamping it firmly between the head of the piston and the flat portion 74 of jaw 32.
  • the sheeting and device 10 can then be raised or positioned as desired by the operation of the crane.
  • the hydraulic motors 26, 26a are preferably activated simultaneously developing a substantial vibrationin a uniaxial direction along the axis or plane A of the piling.
  • the biased weight 21 provides the ultimate motivational force for driving the piling under vibration.
  • the hydraulic pressure to piston 36 is released causing piston 36 to move back out of engagement with the sheet piling through the bias provided by spring 82.
  • Tension is applied to cable 18 lifting device 10 away from the sheeting for the next operation.
  • Extraction of the sheeting is essentially achieved in the same fashion by first engaging and gripping the sheeting between jaws 32 and 34. Rather than immediately seeking to extract the sheeting however, it is preferred that a slightdriving force is exerted to break the sheeting loose. Thereupon, tension is applied to cable 18 as the eccentrics are rotated for withdrawal of the sheeting.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 an valternative arrangement of a hairpin driver and extractor 100 is illustrated.
  • Device 100 is also cable supported by a cable 18 and includes an upper frame 12a and lower frame 14a.
  • the device-100 is similar in many respects to that illustrated in FIGS. 1-6 and hence common elements are identified by utilizing the suffix a.
  • the configuration of support frame 12a is somewhat different in that it is comprised of a front plate 102 and a rear plate 104 to which is securely affixed a mass of lead 106 which acts as the bias.
  • -Plates 102 and 104 have a pair of arm like extensions 106 and 108 extending downwardly from the front and rear corners below the bias mass 106. Extensions 106 and 108 are similar to the elongated plates 46 in the embodiments of FIGS. 1-6 and are provided for attaching the upper frame assembly 12a to the lower frame assembly 14a.
  • the lower frame assembly 14a includes front and rear plates 110, 112 interconnected to each other in a conventional fashion.
  • a hairpin jaw mechanism is illustrated, the details of which are not expanded upon since a variety of jaw mechanisms could be utilized including the particular unique type illustrated in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-6.
  • jaws 32a and 34a likewise include a sloped cam portion a, 72a and a flat portion 74a, 76a.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 The essential difference between the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 from that illustrated in FIGS. 1-6 is the use of only one vibratory mechanism comprisng a shaft and eccentric (not shown) centered with respect to the device and driven by a single hydraulic motor 116.
  • a pair of discs 16a are utilized in both the front and rear connections between frames 12a and 14a opposed to the vertical spaced corresponding pairs in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-6.
  • the device is designed for lighter work situations and hence reduced materials and sizes can be appreciated. While lateral vibratory forces are not eliminated in the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8, in many applications, it is not necessarily required.
  • the utilization of a single rotating eccentric reduces the magnitude of forces developed as opposed to pluralities of eccentrics of similar sizes.
  • bias weight 106 can be quickly changed by simply disconnecting upper frame assembly 12a from lower assembly 14a by disconnecting the bolts 118 and removing the upper support frame.
  • An alternative bias weight can then be quickly attached to the vibratory aspect of device 100 by repositioning the newly selected upper frame assembly 12a and attaching it thereto by bolts 118.
