Definitions
- My invention relates to improvements in electrically actuated tools and has particular reference to a portable tool adapted for drilling vertical and upwardly inclined holes in concrete walls,
- the invention contemplates the use of a belt drive rather than gears to connect the motor with the plunger actuating mechanism, thereby minimizing the vibratory shocks upon the windings of the motor which shorten its useful life when gears are utilized as a part of the actuating mechanism.
- the use of a belt drive also minimizes the noises usually incident to the operation of a motor actuated tool having gears as a part 15 of the power transmission mechanism.
- a general object of the invention is the provision of a. tool of the kind described which is compact, light in weight, economical to manufacture and has its essential movable parts such as plungers and connecting spring so arranged as vto be quickly and easily removed for inspection, cleaning or repair without the use of tools or the necessity of dismantling the housing ⁇ in which such parts are mounted.
- the invention further contemplates the use ofrelatively light brous material, providing a cushioning elect in the plunger Vwith which the motor driven actuating mechanism is directly connected and the use of metal or other relatively hard heavy material in the chuck contacting plunger.
- This arrangement provides greater efliciency for a given motor drive inasmuch as the weight of the uncushioned plunger and its hammering eiect on the actuating mechanism is minimized.
- the weightand driving force of the chuck contacting plunger may be correspondingly increased as a result of the diminished weight Aof the uncushioned plunger and another object of the invention is the pro- 5 vision of a pair of plungers constructed of materials of diierent weights in a manner to increase their efciency and lessen the recoil and vibra.- tion of the tool when in operation.
- Still another object of the invention is the provision of a novel actuating mechanism which is capable of complete assembly before mounting on the device and the provision of a novel mounting therefor adapted to permit such mechanism to be moved as a unit into and out of operative engagement with the plungers driven thereby.
- a further object of the invention is the provision of lnovel means for. connecting a spring to the adjacent ends of a pair of reciprocating plungers forming part of the device.
- a still further object of the invention is the provision of novel means for supporting the tool upon the body of the operator, thereby enabling the tool to be held in alignment with the hole being drilled and also to exert the necessary feed pressure on the drill which leaves the operator with both hands free to manipulate the tool.
- Still another object of the invention is the provision of a novel adjusting means for positioning a chuck whereby the eiective length of the stroke of a plunger actuating the chuck may be increased or diminished Within predetermined limits.
- Still another object of the invention is the provision of a dust pan mounted on the device and positioned to catch the dustv from the hole when drilling upward to prevent its falling on the operator, device furniture or machinery over which the holes are drilled.
- the invention has among its other objects the provision of a tool in which all working parts are easily accessible for inspection, cleaning or repair by the operator on the vjob and which is convenient, durable and satisfactory for use wherever found applicable.

- Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a harness adapted to be worn by the operator and fastened to the device in a manner whereby its weight and feed pressure'4 is carried by the shoulders of the operator when the device is operated in the position shown in Fig. 8.
- the vmain body portion of the device comprises a casing consisting of a sectional longitudinally extending tubular member 10 and a transversely extending tubular member 11 having a grip 12 fastened thereto by a screw bolt 13.
- a pair of oppositely positioned lateral extensions 14 project from the underside of themember 10 and provide a mounting for a motor .15.
- the motor l5 is positioned in spaced apart relation to the tubularl member 11 and is fastened to the extensions 14 by bolts 16.
- the tubular member 11 provides a housing for a portion of the drill actuating mechanism in addition tobeing used as a handle member for manually manipulating the device.
- a pair of conductors 17 connect the motor 15 with a source of electrical energy' (not shown) through switch mechanism generally designated by the numeral 18, the details of which are omitted as the invention does not reside therein and/ any suitable switchl mechanism may be utilized for the purpose.
- the switch mechanism 18 is mounted in a housing 19 attached to the front side of the motor 15 and the circuit through the conductors 17 is open and/closed by means of an arm 20 which is manualy/ actuated by a member' 21 slidably mounted in he upper end of the inotor, the circuit being broken when the arm 20 and the A,member 21 are in their full lineposition and closed when the arm and member are in their respective dotted line positions.
- the arm is normally in the full line position corresponding to the closed circuit and the operator while grasping the handle 12 is enabled to actuate the arm 20 to dotted line position to close the circuit by pulling on the curved end of the member 21 with a finger or thumb.
- the plunger 27 is actuated by an eccentric 30, positioned in a recess 31 formed in the plunger, an mounted on the inner end of a shaft 29 exte ding through the tubular member 11.
- the orward plunger 26 is constructed of hard metal
- the rear plunger 27 is constructed of relatively light fibrous material, such for example, as compressed paper pulp or the like.
- the outer end of the shaft 29 projects through the member 11 and provides a mounting for a sheave 32, connected by means of a V-belt 33 with a sheave 34 mounted on the motor shaft 35.
- a race 38 containing ball bearings 39 is mounted on each end of the shaft 29.' The inner member of each race 38 bears against the adjacent end of a sleeve 37 which closely fits and is rotatable with the shaft 29.
- a locating collar 40 having a groove 4l is positioned in the outer end of the member 11 and j held in place by a set screw 50 asfbest shown in Figs. 2 and 5.
- the collar 40 provides an abutmentfor means yieldingly holding the shaft 29 in the position wherein the eccentric 30 is inserted in the recess 31 of the plunger 27.
- the means for holding the shaft 29 in plunger operating position consists of a gasket 43 in contact with the collar 49, and a shouldered washer 42 superimposed thereon.
- a similar washer 42 is mounted on the inner end of the shaft 29 adjacent the other race 38 and is separated from the race by a gasket 43.
- the gaskets 43 are provided to prevent escape of waste of lubricant from the respective end bearing portions.
- a compression spring 44 having its ends bearing on washers 42 yieldingly holds the washers in spaced apart relation.
- the sheaves 32 and 34 and the V-belt 33 are positioned in a'housing 22, provided by a casing 23 which is fastened to the outer end of the motor 15 by a screw-bolt 46.
- a collar 45 fastened to the outer end of the tubular member 11 by means of a set screw 47, provides countersunk rivets 48 on its outer face by means of which the casing 23 is fastened to the collar.
- the housing 22 also includes an easily removable fiange cover 24 fitting over the casing 23.
- the eccentric 30, sheave ⁇ 32, races 38, collar 40, races 42, gaskets 43, and sleeve 37 are first assembled on the shaft 29 and maintained in assembled position by threading the sheave onto the outer Yend of the shaft.
- the assembled device is then inserted into the tubular member 11 in the position shown in Fig. 1 with the eccentric 30 in the plunger aperture 31.
- the assembled actuating mechanism is then fastened in operative position in the member 11 by threading the set screw 50 into'contact With the grooved portion 41 of the locating collar as shown in Fig. 5.
- the described preassembled unitary actuating mechanism mounted as described in the tubular member 11, provides an outstanding advantageous feature of the invention in that it permits the plungers 26 and 27 and their connecting spring 28 to be quickly and easily removed from the tubular member 10 for inspection or repairs without dismantling the device or requiring the use of tools for that'purpose. ⁇ This is accomplished by removing the cover 24 from the housing 22 and exerting a pull on the sheave 32 sufficient to move the shaft 29 against the resistance of the spring 44 to the position shown in/Fig. 2 wherein the ecc'entricl30 is disengaged from the plunger 27.
- the shaft 29 is held is this partially removed p osition by revolving a stop block 452 on its piv otal mounting 53 to a position wherein one end projects between the sheave 32 and the casing 23.
- the plungers 26 and 27 Upon removal of the eccentric 30 from the aperture 31, the plungers 26 and 27 will be free to drop outl of their mounting and this will be accomplished by turning the rear end of the member 10 to a downwardly inclined position.
- the spring 44 Upon again inserting the spring connected plungers 26 and 27 into the tubular member v10 and removal of the block 52 from its wedging position, the spring 44 will retract the shaft and the mechanism assembled thereon to their original position with the eccentric 30 in operative position in .41e aperture 31 in the plunger 27.
- the chuck 25 has an annular projecting end portion 58 in which a shell is mounted.
- the shell provides a hollow drill wedged in a tapering longitudinal aperture formed for that purpose in the outer end of the chuck.
- the shell 60 discharges loose material, resulting from the The chuck 25 has an intermediate portion 5.7l
- the member j 63 has an inwardly projecting flange 64 at one end, the lower edge of the flange being bounded by a circle 62.
- the ange projects into an annular space 78 surrounding the reduced chuck portion 57 as shown in Figs. 1 and 6 and provides a stop permitting a limitedl longitudinal movement of the chuck. Longitudinal movement of the chuck 25 and the drill 60 is caused by the impact of the heavy plunger 26 with the chuck which results from each revolution of the eccentric 30.
- the flange 64 hasa Width somewhat less than the length of the reduced chuck portion 57 and the maximum longitudinal movement of the chuck is determined by said difference between the width ofthe flange and the length of the chuck portion 70. It is desirable in some instances to change the position of the chuck in the tubular member 10 to vary the maximum outward travel ofthe plunger 26 which results in its contact with the chuck and this is accomplished by turning the locking member 463 end for end.
- the member 63 is positioned with the flange 64 adjacent the projecting end 58 of tle chuck and in Fig. 6, the member is in 4vreverse position with the flange positioned adjacent the inner end of the chuck.
- the plunger 26 must move nearer tofthe front end of the member 10 before contacting with the chuck ,25 when the member 63 is in the position shown ln Fig. 1 than when the member is in the position '45'.
- Fig. 6 The member 63 is held in the position shown in Fig. 1 by a band 65.
- the band 65 is clamped Aabout the tubular member 10 by means of a bolt 66 extending through the'projectin'g ends of the band.4
- the band 65 is shown as having been moved to a position where it uncovers and permits access to th member 63.
- Novel means is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 4 for fastening the spring 28 to' lugs 54 provided on the adjacent ends of the plungers 26 and 27 whereby all of the end portions of the spring in contact with the lugs and plungers are flxedly held against movement relative thereto and as a result, wear of the springs is minimized.
- the means so provided for holding all contacting portions of the spring 28 rigid with the lugs 54 and the plungers 26 and 27 consists in making the lugs cylindrical .adjacent the plungers with their outer ends frustro-conical or tapering and the cylindrical and frustro-conical surfaces intersecting onfa line 69.
- the diameters of the cylindrical portions of the lugs 54 are made slightly larger than the normal interior diameter of the spring 48, thereby requiring the exertion of some force by way of pressure and twisting to mount the spring on the lugs.
- Grooves 68, formed in theA adjacent ends of the plungers 26 and'27, provide guides adapted to receive the end coils of the spring 28 and to hold the free end of the spring in alignment with the main body thereof.
- Pins 56 inclined as shown, are provided in the tapering portion of each lug 54 adjacent the cylindrical portion.
- the diameter of the projecting ends of the pins 56 is greater than the normal spacing of the coils of the spring 28 and the projecting ends are so positioned that in threading the spring 28 onto the lug 55.
- the end coils of the spring'which encircle the cylindrical portions of the lugs 54 are pressed together with he extreme end coil closely tting the groove as shown in Fig. 4. i
- The/position and inclination of the pins 56 and the-length of the cylindrical portion of the lugs 54' are preferably such that aV planeA through the line 69 passes through the center of the coil in contact with the projecting end of the pin mostA I remote from the plunger.
- the described construction and arrangement of the lugs 54 and of the pins 56 is such that all of the end portions of the spring 28 in contact with the lugs 54 and with the plungers are frictionally held against either longitudinal or rotary movement relative to the lugs and plungers and that portion o f the spring betweenthe pins 56 is free to contract and expand without*'possiblecontact with the lugs.
- the distortion or spread of the coils by the pins 56 is such that the coils press against both sides of the pins under al1 conditions of elongation of the intermediate portions of the springs.
- Fig. 8. Illustrates the device in position for drilling upwardly inclined holes in a ceiling or roof 79 of concrete, st one, or the like, where it is difficult to hold the drill in alignment with the hole and to exert feed pressure and manipulate the device when held only by a handle.

- vthe longitudinal member 10 as a plu'- rality of sections 70 fastened together by sleeves 71 for convenience in crating and shipping. Sufficient of the sections are used to bring the member 10 to a point below the waistline of the operator.
- a harness comprising a pair of straps 73 extending over the shoulders and intersecting at the back of the operator enables the operator tofcomfortably carry the weight of the device and to exert the necessary feed pressure.
- One end of each of the straps 73 is fastened to a plate 74, as shown in Fig. 9, the other end of each strap is equipped with a hook 77 adapted for insertion in a pair of apertures 76 provided for thatpurpose in the plate.
- a relatively-large aperture 75 is also provided through which the lower end of member 10 is projected, the diameter of the aperture being slightly larger than that of member l0 so that the plate 74 may be moved up or down for adjustment as desired.
- the bounding walls of aperture 75 are so inclined as to engage the member 10 and hold the plate 74 against relative movement thereon when the straps 73 are taut either under the weight ofthe device or by reason of the operator exerting a pull on the straps.
- the length of the vertical member and of the harness is such that the device may be used by either short or tall operators, the preferable position of the operator being such that his head is approximately six inches below the ceiling in which position he can most advantageously rotate the chuck 58 by manipulation of the handle 6l. The operator is enabled to raise the device by elevating his shoulders, thereby exerting the required upward feed pressure and elevation of the device sufficient to complete the drilling without readjustment of the plate 74 on member 10.
- the downwardly extending supporting member. comprising the detachable section 70, may also be advantageously used without the harness in which case the operator while using his hands to support the device and manipulate the chuck 58 is enabled to press the supporting member against his body and thereby maintain the tool in alignment with the hole being drilled.
- a dust pan '72 is mounted on member 10 of the device above the motor 15 in a position to catch the dust and pulverized material resulting from the drilling operation and prevent its falling onto the device, operator, floors, fixtures or machinery over which holes are drilled.
- the pan 72 is preferably made of flexible or yielding material such as rubber to enable the sides of the pan to be pushed inwardly when drilling such holes close to walls or beams.
- the member 10 When desirable to use the device for drilling holes in a. cramped or limited space or in walls or floors, the member 10 is shortened by disconnecting the detachable sections 10 and is then manipulated by holding the handle 1l with one hand and rotating the drill with the other.

(Cl. 12S-33) 14 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in electrically actuated tools and has particular reference to a portable tool adapted for drilling vertical and upwardly inclined holes in concrete walls,
ceilings, roofs, and the like.
The invention contemplates the use of a belt drive rather than gears to connect the motor with the plunger actuating mechanism, thereby minimizing the vibratory shocks upon the windings of the motor which shorten its useful life when gears are utilized as a part of the actuating mechanism. The use of a belt drive also minimizes the noises usually incident to the operation of a motor actuated tool having gears as a part 15 of the power transmission mechanism.
A general object of the invention is the provision of a. tool of the kind described which is compact, light in weight, economical to manufacture and has its essential movable parts such as plungers and connecting spring so arranged as vto be quickly and easily removed for inspection, cleaning or repair without the use of tools or the necessity of dismantling the housing `in which such parts are mounted.
The vibratory shocks detrimental to the motor windings are still further diminished by connecting the plungers with a spring and also by making the plunger, with which the actuating mechanism is directly connected, as light as possible.
For this purpose, the invention further contemplates the use ofrelatively light brous material, providing a cushioning elect in the plunger Vwith which the motor driven actuating mechanism is directly connected and the use of metal or other relatively hard heavy material in the chuck contacting plunger. This arrangement provides greater efliciency for a given motor drive inasmuch as the weight of the uncushioned plunger and its hammering eiect on the actuating mechanism is minimized. The weightand driving force of the chuck contacting plunger may be correspondingly increased as a result of the diminished weight Aof the uncushioned plunger and another object of the invention is the pro- 5 vision of a pair of plungers constructed of materials of diierent weights in a manner to increase their efciency and lessen the recoil and vibra.- tion of the tool when in operation.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a novel actuating mechanism which is capable of complete assembly before mounting on the device and the provision of a novel mounting therefor adapted to permit such mechanism to be moved as a unit into and out of operative engagement with the plungers driven thereby.
A further object of the invention is the provision of lnovel means for. connecting a spring to the adjacent ends of a pair of reciprocating plungers forming part of the device.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of novel means for supporting the tool upon the body of the operator, thereby enabling the tool to be held in alignment with the hole being drilled and also to exert the necessary feed pressure on the drill which leaves the operator with both hands free to manipulate the tool.
, Still another object of the invention is the provision of a novel adjusting means for positioning a chuck whereby the eiective length of the stroke of a plunger actuating the chuck may be increased or diminished Within predetermined limits.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a dust pan mounted on the device and positioned to catch the dustv from the hole when drilling upward to prevent its falling on the operator, device furniture or machinery over which the holes are drilled. y
The invention has among its other objects the provision of a tool in which all working parts are easily accessible for inspection, cleaning or repair by the operator on the vjob and which is convenient, durable and satisfactory for use wherever found applicable. v
Many other objects and advantages of the' 85 construction herein shown and described will be obvious to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein given.
To this end, my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a harness adapted to be worn by the operator and fastened to the device in a manner whereby its weight and feed pressure'4 is carried by the shoulders of the operator when the device is operated in the position shown in Fig. 8.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the vmain body portion of the device comprises a casing consisting of a sectional longitudinally extending tubular member 10 and a transversely extending tubular member 11 having a grip 12 fastened thereto by a screw bolt 13. A pair of oppositely positioned lateral extensions 14 project from the underside of themember 10 and provide a mounting for a motor .15. The motor l5 is positioned in spaced apart relation to the tubularl member 11 and is fastened to the extensions 14 by bolts 16. The tubular member 11 provides a housing for a portion of the drill actuating mechanism in addition tobeing used as a handle member for manually manipulating the device.
A pair of conductors 17 connect the motor 15 with a source of electrical energy' (not shown) through switch mechanism generally designated by the numeral 18, the details of which are omitted as the invention does not reside therein and/ any suitable switchl mechanism may be utilized for the purpose. The switch mechanism 18 is mounted in a housing 19 attached to the front side of the motor 15 and the circuit through the conductors 17 is open and/closed by means of an arm 20 which is manualy/ actuated by a member' 21 slidably mounted in he upper end of the inotor, the circuit being broken when the arm 20 and the A,member 21 are in their full lineposition and closed when the arm and member are in their respective dotted line positions. The arm is normally in the full line position corresponding to the closed circuit and the operator while grasping the handle 12 is enabled to actuate the arm 20 to dotted line position to close the circuit by pulling on the curved end of the member 21 with a finger or thumb.
A chuck 25, reciprocally movable in and projecting from the front end of the tubular member 10, is actuated by a pair ofl spaced apart plungers 26 and 27 connected by a spring 28. The plunger 27 is actuated by an eccentric 30, positioned in a recess 31 formed in the plunger, an mounted on the inner end of a shaft 29 exte ding through the tubular member 11. The orward plunger 26 is constructed of hard metal,
f preferably cast steel, and the rear plunger 27 is constructed of relatively light fibrous material, such for example, as compressed paper pulp or the like.
The outer end of the shaft 29 projects through the member 11 and provides a mounting for a sheave 32, connected by means of a V-belt 33 with a sheave 34 mounted on the motor shaft 35. A race 38 containing ball bearings 39 is mounted on each end of the shaft 29.' The inner member of each race 38 bears against the adjacent end of a sleeve 37 which closely fits and is rotatable with the shaft 29.
A locating collar 40 having a groove 4l is positioned in the outer end of the member 11 and j held in place by a set screw 50 asfbest shown in Figs. 2 and 5. The collar 40 provides an abutmentfor means yieldingly holding the shaft 29 in the position wherein the eccentric 30 is inserted in the recess 31 of the plunger 27. The means for holding the shaft 29 in plunger operating position consists of a gasket 43 in contact with the collar 49, and a shouldered washer 42 superimposed thereon. A similar washer 42 is mounted on the inner end of the shaft 29 adjacent the other race 38 and is separated from the race by a gasket 43. The gaskets 43 are provided to prevent escape of waste of lubricant from the respective end bearing portions. A compression spring 44 having its ends bearing on washers 42 yieldingly holds the washers in spaced apart relation.
The sheaves 32 and 34 and the V-belt 33 are positioned in a'housing 22, provided by a casing 23 which is fastened to the outer end of the motor 15 by a screw-bolt 46. A collar 45, fastened to the outer end of the tubular member 11 by means of a set screw 47, provides countersunk rivets 48 on its outer face by means of which the casing 23 is fastened to the collar. The housing 22 also includes an easily removable fiange cover 24 fitting over the casing 23.
The eccentric 30, sheave`32, races 38, collar 40, races 42, gaskets 43, and sleeve 37 are first assembled on the shaft 29 and maintained in assembled position by threading the sheave onto the outer Yend of the shaft. The assembled device is then inserted into the tubular member 11 in the position shown in Fig. 1 with the eccentric 30 in the plunger aperture 31. The assembled actuating mechanism is then fastened in operative position in the member 11 by threading the set screw 50 into'contact With the grooved portion 41 of the locating collar as shown in Fig. 5. The
y,races 37, gaskets 43, washers 42 and spring 44 are held by the fixed collarA 40 against rotation leaving the shaft 29 and sleeve and races 37 free to rotate.
The described preassembled unitary actuating mechanism mounted as described in the tubular member 11, provides an outstanding advantageous feature of the invention in that it permits the plungers 26 and 27 and their connecting spring 28 to be quickly and easily removed from the tubular member 10 for inspection or repairs without dismantling the device or requiring the use of tools for that'purpose. `This is accomplished by removing the cover 24 from the housing 22 and exerting a pull on the sheave 32 sufficient to move the shaft 29 against the resistance of the spring 44 to the position shown in/Fig. 2 wherein the ecc'entricl30 is disengaged from the plunger 27. The shaft 29 is held is this partially removed p osition by revolving a stop block 452 on its piv otal mounting 53 to a position wherein one end projects between the sheave 32 and the casing 23. Upon removal of the eccentric 30 from the aperture 31, the plungers 26 and 27 will be free to drop outl of their mounting and this will be accomplished by turning the rear end of the member 10 to a downwardly inclined position. Upon again inserting the spring connected plungers 26 and 27 into the tubular member v10 and removal of the block 52 from its wedging position, the spring 44 will retract the shaft and the mechanism assembled thereon to their original position with the eccentric 30 in operative position in .41e aperture 31 in the plunger 27.
The chuck 25 has an annular projecting end portion 58 in which a shell is mounted. The
shell provides a hollow drill wedged in a tapering longitudinal aperture formed for that purpose in the outer end of the chuck. The shell 60 discharges loose material, resulting from the The chuck 25 has an intermediate portion 5.7l
of reduced diameter,v positioned underneath'fa segmental aperture in the member 10 and which is closed by a locking member 63. The member j 63 has an inwardly projecting flange 64 at one end, the lower edge of the flange being bounded by a circle 62. The ange projects into an annular space 78 surrounding the reduced chuck portion 57 as shown in Figs. 1 and 6 and provides a stop permitting a limitedl longitudinal movement of the chuck. Longitudinal movement of the chuck 25 and the drill 60 is caused by the impact of the heavy plunger 26 with the chuck which results from each revolution of the eccentric 30. The flange 64 hasa Width somewhat less than the length of the reduced chuck portion 57 and the maximum longitudinal movement of the chuck is determined by said difference between the width ofthe flange and the length of the chuck portion 70. It is desirable in some instances to change the position of the chuck in the tubular member 10 to vary the maximum outward travel ofthe plunger 26 which results in its contact with the chuck and this is accomplished by turning the locking member 463 end for end. In Fig. 1, the member 63 is positioned with the flange 64 adjacent the projecting end 58 of tle chuck and in Fig. 6, the member is in 4vreverse position with the flange positioned adjacent the inner end of the chuck. Obviously, the plunger 26 must move nearer tofthe front end of the member 10 before contacting with the chuck ,25 when the member 63 is in the position shown ln Fig. 1 than when the member is in the position '45'.
shown in Fig. 6. The member 63 is held in the position shown in Fig. 1 by a band 65. The band 65 is clamped Aabout the tubular member 10 by means of a bolt 66 extending through the'projectin'g ends of the band.4 In Fig. 6, the band 65 is shown as having been moved to a position where it uncovers and permits access to th member 63.
Novel means is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 4 for fastening the spring 28 to' lugs 54 provided on the adjacent ends of the plungers 26 and 27 whereby all of the end portions of the spring in contact with the lugs and plungers are flxedly held against movement relative thereto and as a result, wear of the springs is minimized. `The means so provided for holding all contacting portions of the spring 28 rigid with the lugs 54 and the plungers 26 and 27 consists in making the lugs cylindrical .adjacent the plungers with their outer ends frustro-conical or tapering and the cylindrical and frustro-conical surfaces intersecting onfa line 69. The diameters of the cylindrical portions of the lugs 54 are made slightly larger than the normal interior diameter of the spring 48, thereby requiring the exertion of some force by way of pressure and twisting to mount the spring on the lugs. Grooves 68, formed in theA adjacent ends of the plungers 26 and'27, provide guides adapted to receive the end coils of the spring 28 and to hold the free end of the spring in alignment with the main body thereof.
"The/position and inclination of the pins 56 and the-length of the cylindrical portion of the lugs 54' are preferably such that aV planeA through the line 69 passes through the center of the coil in contact with the projecting end of the pin mostA I remote from the plunger. The described construction and arrangement of the lugs 54 and of the pins 56 is such that all of the end portions of the spring 28 in contact with the lugs 54 and with the plungers are frictionally held against either longitudinal or rotary movement relative to the lugs and plungers and that portion o f the spring betweenthe pins 56 is free to contract and expand without*'possiblecontact with the lugs. The distortion or spread of the coils by the pins 56 is such that the coils press against both sides of the pins under al1 conditions of elongation of the intermediate portions of the springs.
The device as described is light in weight, those now in use and rated for IS/g diameter hole capacity weighing approximately/twelve pounds being easily manipulated for drilling upwardly inclined holes. Fig. 8.illustrates the device in position for drilling upwardly inclined holes in a ceiling or roof 79 of concrete, st one, or the like, where it is difficult to hold the drill in alignment with the hole and to exert feed pressure and manipulate the device when held only by a handle. To overcome this difficulty, I have provided a supporting means shown in Figs. 8 and 9 whereby the drill is held in alignment and the device is carried and feed pressure exerted by the body of the operator, leaving him with both hands free to manipulate the device andfrotate the drill.
In providing this supporting means, I have provided vthe longitudinal member 10 as a plu'- rality of sections 70 fastened together by sleeves 71 for convenience in crating and shipping. Sufficient of the sections are used to bring the member 10 to a point below the waistline of the operator. A harness comprising a pair of straps 73 extending over the shoulders and intersecting at the back of the operator enables the operator tofcomfortably carry the weight of the device and to exert the necessary feed pressure. One end of each of the straps 73 is fastened to a plate 74, as shown in Fig. 9, the other end of each strap is equipped with a hook 77 adapted for insertion in a pair of apertures 76 provided for thatpurpose in the plate. A relatively-large aperture 75 is also provided through which the lower end of member 10 is projected, the diameter of the aperture being slightly larger than that of member l0 so that the plate 74 may be moved up or down for adjustment as desired. The bounding walls of aperture 75 are so inclined as to engage the member 10 and hold the plate 74 against relative movement thereon when the straps 73 are taut either under the weight ofthe device or by reason of the operator exerting a pull on the straps. The length of the vertical member and of the harness is such that the device may be used by either short or tall operators, the preferable position of the operator being such that his head is approximately six inches below the ceiling in which position he can most advantageously rotate the chuck 58 by manipulation of the handle 6l. The operator is enabled to raise the device by elevating his shoulders, thereby exerting the required upward feed pressure and elevation of the device sufficient to complete the drilling without readjustment of the plate 74 on member 10.
The downwardly extending supporting member. comprising the detachable section 70, may also be advantageously used without the harness in which case the operator while using his hands to support the device and manipulate the chuck 58 is enabled to press the supporting member against his body and thereby maintain the tool in alignment with the hole being drilled.
The arrangement of the motor 15 and the actuating mechanism and handle all on one side of the tubular member 10 enables holes to be drilled in a ceiling in closely spaced relation to a transversely extending wall or beam. A dust pan '72 is mounted on member 10 of the device above the motor 15 in a position to catch the dust and pulverized material resulting from the drilling operation and prevent its falling onto the device, operator, floors, fixtures or machinery over which holes are drilled. The pan 72 is preferably made of flexible or yielding material such as rubber to enable the sides of the pan to be pushed inwardly when drilling such holes close to walls or beams.
When desirable to use the device for drilling holes in a. cramped or limited space or in walls or floors, the member 10 is shortened by disconnecting the detachable sections 10 and is then manipulated by holding the handle 1l with one hand and rotating the drill with the other.
Thus, it will be seen that I have provided 2. novel motor actuated tool or device ofthe kind described which provides a plurality of novel features cooperating to minimize the noise of operation and the vibratory shocks detrimental to the motor windings, and which is durable, light of weight, economical to manufacture, easily manipulated and so constructed that the plungers may be disconnectedA from the operating mechanism and removed for inspection or lrepairs without dismantling the device or requiring the use of tools, and also provides a number of other novel constructions and arrangements adapting the device for long service life and for use wherever found applicable.
Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that various immaterial modifications may be made in the same without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; hence I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact form, construction and arrangement of parts herein shown and described, or uses mentioned.
