. Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 28, 1905.
Application filed January 9, 1905- Serial No. 240,289.
T a/ZZ whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, FRANK SHUMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in 'Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Concrete Piles and in the Formation of the Same, of which the following is a specification.
The .obj ect of my invention is to provide an extremely-strong concrete pile intended especially for use in the construction of wharves,
docks, or other work which is partly under water or in unstable ground, although the pile is also available for general use, if desired. In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view of a pile constructed in accordance with my invention. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are views illustrating successive stages in the formation of said pile. Fig. 5 is a sectional plan view on the line a a,"Fig. l and Fig. 6is a sectional plan view on the line b b, Fig. 1.
The pile shown in Fig. l may form part of a wharf or other structure, the upper portion of the pile, which is within and above the water and in the unstable portion of the bottom of the waterway,'being of lesser diameter than the lower portion of the pile, which is containedV in the stable ground, said contracted upper portion of the pile being provided with a casing 1, of sheet metal or other available material, which serves during the formation of the pile to confine the mass of concrete constituting the upper portion of the same andwhich also serves asa permanent or temporarysheathing for said upper portion of the completed ile.` -Within the contracted upper portion o the pile and also extending down into the enlarged lower portion of the same to any desired extent is a Vmetallic reinforce consisting in the present instance of a'tubular cage composed of vertical rods 8, connected together at suitable intervals by means of wire rings 4, engaging said rods, ,although other forms of metallic reinforce may, if desired, be used in carrying out my invention. For instance, ,a tube composed of woven `wire or of the material known as ployed.
In forming a concrete pile accordance with my invention I may use a hollow Apreparatory pile having either a valvedlowerend or a detachable point to the left in the bottom of the opening formedby said, preparatory pile or a removable point to be withdrawn expanded metal may be emthrough the pile, so that as said hollow preparatory pile is withdrawn from the opening formed thereby the concrete of which the pr'eparatory pile 5 as provided with a valved l point consisting of pivoted and swingingmembers 6, which when closed form a tapering point on the pile, the valved members occupying this position during the driving of the preparatory pile, as shown in Fig. 2.
After the preparatory pile has been driven to the proper depth the same is slowly or intermittently withdrawn and the concrete is fed through the same while it is being withdrawn, the members of the valved point swinging open, as shownin Fig'. 3, in order to permit of the passage of the concrete between them.'
When that point in the formation of the pile is reached at which' the metallic reinforce is to be inserted, said. reinforce is properly located within the hollow preparatory pile, and the withdrawal of the latter is proceeded with, the concrete being now fed in through the metallic reinforce, the meshes or openings of which are large enough to permit of the passage of the concrete laterally through them, so that as the formation of the pile proceeds the metallic reinforce will be embedded in the mass of concrete, as shown =in Fig. 4. v When the formation of the pile approaches the unstable ground constitutin the bottom of the Waterway, the sheet-meta tube or casing 1 is inserted into the pre aratory pile, as shown in Fig. 4, so that it retain the concrete during the further withdrawal of thepreparatory pile and .during the'building of the pile above the level of the bottom of the waterway the casing also constituting, if desired, a sheathing for the upper portion of the finished pile. Y
If-desired, the casing l may be secured in any suitable manner to the reinforcing structure 3 and inserted with the latter.
Where the pile is formed in stable ground,
IOO
the use of the'casing l will not be necessary, f
my invention. For instance, the prepara- IIO tory pile may be open at the lower end and may be sunk in the ground by washing or otherwise removing the earth from within the pile, the formation of the concrete pile after the sinking of such preparatory pile proceeding in the manner before described, or where the pile is to be formed in stable ground the preparatory pile may be completely removed from the opening before the filling in of the concrete, the metallic reinforcement being introduced either before or after the withdrawal of the preparatory pile,
as desired, and where the preparatory pile is removed before filling in the concrete the preparatory pile need not be hollow and need not have a valved or removable point.
As the upper portion of the pile only serves to transmit strains to the lower or embedded portion, it is not necessary that said upper portion should be as heavy as the lower portion. Hence I am enabled to effect a considerable saving in the amount of concrete necessary for the construction of the pile.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1.
