- the upper dog'A is held in place by a collar A3 and a second collar A4, which are secured, respectively, to the dog and the post A by means of set-screws. Either of these methods of adjustment may be applied to either or both of the dogs, thereby making the post extensible.
- the -outer portion of the arc B extends through the major portion of a circle and is heldin place by the projecting portion of the lug a.
- the sleeve a3 and a collar may IOO ' cross-barDnear the middle ofthe bars D furnishes a support for one end of the fced-screw D2, which is secured therein against longitudinal motion, but so that it may revolve, by means of the set-screw d or any other suitable means.
- this feed-screw is a nut d', having a pivoted half d6 and also a circular groove d3.
- the nut d is rotated by means of a handle (Z2, which carries a pawl d4, engaging the teeth d5 upon the nut, or by means of any suitable ratchet mechanism.

- the frame is also provided with adjustable guide-blocks C', adapt ed to receive and guide the shank of the drill, the blocks being supported in lugs C2, attached to the guideways.
- the drill-operatin g mechanism is mounted in a casing which comprises a hammer-track E, which in the main is of circular' outline, but at one side (the upper, as shown in the drawings) is of increasing radius.
- This hammer-track as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is composed of two angle-irons slightly separated by blocks e' and the halves secured to each other by means of a bolt passing through each of said blocks.
- the outline of the hammert-rack is preserved by means of the arms E, connected thereto at intervals in its periphery and also acting as a support for the revolving spider F,l upon which 'the hammers are mounted.
- VVithin'the central hub E3 is journaled a shaft F', upon which is fixedly mounted the spider F, carrying the ham mers.
- This spider F has a, series of radial arms, to the outer ends of which are pivoted at g the arms or handles G' of the hammers G.
- the spider is provided with five arms and a similar number of hammers.
- the ham mers G are cylindrical in shape, and the central portion thereof is of greater diameter than the ends, thus forming rollers G2, which roll upon the inner surface of the hammentrack E. rlhe central and larger portion of the hammer is the face which strikes the drill or the socket which receives the drill.
- One end of the shaft F' may be provided with a squared portion F2 or constructed in any other suitable manner, so that a crank or powerA connections of any sort may be attached thereto.
- the hammers When the spider F, carryin g the hammers, is revolved, the hammers will be caused to travel about the hammer -" ⁇ track, and when they reach the portion E'1 at'the top, which is of increased radius, they will travel outward against the inner surface thereof until they contact with the rear end of the drill-socket I, which latter consists of a rod or bar mounted so as to have limited reciprocation in the frame carrying the operating mechanism.
- the pivot g of the hammer arms or handles is located intermediate its ends. The end opposite the hammer is connected to a spiral spring G3, and this at its other end is connected, through the medium of aturnbuckle G4, to an arm f', formingl a part of a camplate f.
- the latter is pivoted to the arms of the spider F and to a projecting arm F3, attached thereto.
- the cam-plate is also provided with a toothed edge f2, adapted to engage the toothed outer surface of a central cam E5, mounted upon the center of the drill-casing.
- the spider F is revolved the plates f will engage the toothed cam E5, and thus oscillate the plates f, which results in bringing an additional tension upon the springs G, and thus holding the hammers G out against the hammer-track.
- the purpose of this construction is to insure the contact of the hammers with the hammer-track during the upper half of their revolution even if the device is not rotated at such a speed as to create sufficient centrifugal force for this purpose.
- the drillsocket I which consists of a steel bar having its rear end tempered, is mounted to slide in bearings I'.
- the upper portion of the frame or casin g is provided with a recess adapted to receive a bevelgear h2, mounted upon the socket by means of a square holein the wheel and a squared section I2 upon the socket.
- This construction permits of a longitudinal reciprocation of the socket, while enabling the gear to rotate the socket upon its axis.
- Journaled in the casing are a series of four small rollers L, which bear against the front and rear surface of the bevel-gear h2, and thus hold it in its proper position, preventing its being moved by the reciprocation of the socket l.
- the bevel-gear 71.2 meshes with a bevel-gear 71., mounted upon the upper end of a shaft H, which is journaled in bearings upon the casing and extends in a radial direction.

- FIG. 8 A device for clearing out the drill-hole is shown in Figs. 8, 9, and 10.
- a crank-arm R3 To the central shaft F is fixed a crank-arm R3, and an oscillatin g pump, consisting of a cylinder R, is pivoted at R to one of the arms E' and has its pump-rod R2 connected with the crank R3.
- a hose S connects the pump with a bucket S2 ICO IlO
- a hose S connects the pump-discharge with a' hollow ring T, surrounding the base of the drill.
- This ring has a centrally-opening slot T', so that the water is in contactv with the entire circumference of the drill.
- the drill is either made of steel of a cross or star section or is provided with a longitudinal groove. Within this groove, or one of the grooves of the drill, if of astar-section, is fixed a pipe S3, which tits closelytherein. The rear end of this pipe enters the ringT, and it communieates therewith either by its open en'd or by a side opening T2.
- That portion of the drill which enters the ring T is of course made of true circular cross-section, so that it may turn in the ring and not unduly leak. It may also permit a slight reciprocation of the drill within the ring T, while maintaining a tight joint about the drill and constant communication between the pipe S and tube SS. By this device a constant discharge of water is maintained at the point of .the drill, which will wash out the pulverized rockand keep the hole clear. It is evident that any kind of pump may be used as a substitute for that shown and described. The pump is prefer- Aabl y operated by the rotation of the hammers.
- a spring M is mounted so that at one end it will press against the casing and at the other end against the end of the squared section l2 upon the drill-socket.
- a spiral spring M is placed outside the casing and bears against the casing and the head 13, which receives the end of the drill C. This outer end of the drillsocket is protected by a funnel J.
- the drill C is pointed at its rear end and enters a hole or socket in the outer end of the socket-bar I and is secured in place by a set-screw.
- the forward end of the drill as previously stated, is guided between the blocks C' upon the outer end of the guideways D.
- the hammers G being cylindrical in form and journaled upon the ends of the arms G', roll upon the surface e2 of the hammer-track E instead of sliding thereon. This prevents a large amount of friction which would otherwise result. It also results in striking the rear end of the drill-socket bya different portion of the hammer at each stroke and thus len gthens the life of the hammer, preventing its being battered up.
- the casing E which forms the hammertrack and support for the drill-operatin g mechanism, is supported from the guideways D by means of two bars or lugs E2, which, asshown Yin Fig.
- brackets or lugs E2 are provided at their upper ends with a hook or notch adapted to engage the under edge of the upper guide-bar D.
- the lower portions of the brackets or lugs E2 similarly engage the lower one of the guide-bars D, except that the hook which engages the inner side thereof is upon a. pivoted lever e, thus permitting the device vto be readily detached from the guideways.
- This lever c is held in locked position by means of a pin or bolt c3, passing through a supplemental lug on the bottom of the bracket or lug E2.
- the rear one of. these brackets or lugs E2 has a side projecting flange E6, which engages the groove d3 in the nut d.
- a counterbalance is provided for supporting the weight of the hammer-track and the mechanism carried thereby when the device is adjusted so that the guides D depart materially from the horizontal, which will be the case when drilling inclined or vertical holes.
- This consists of pulleys p and p', over which passes a cord P', which has attached to the lower end thereof the removable weights P and at the other end has a hook which may be attached to either of the eyes O, iiXed to the brackets E2 of the frame carrying the i drill and its operating mechanism.
- the pulleys p and p are located centrally of the arc B, and the hook ⁇ upon the cord P may be at- IOO tached to the eye O at the front or rear end of the frame E, so as to either assist or retard the feeding of the drill, as maybe necessary.l
- the attachment of the weights depends upon the direction of the drill and the number of the weights by the angle of the drill. These IOS weights are made so as to be readily. attachp able or detachable in any suitable manneras, for-instance, by notching or slott-ing them, as are the weights used with scales. ⁇
- This drill may be constructed in varying sizes and so that it may be operated by any form of power connections or by a crank and hand-power. It is small and light and in use is easily transported to any point where it may be needed. It is also quickly set up and is of such simple character that it may be 0perated by any one of ordinary intelligence without previous training or instruction. It is also very effective, as it deliversv a rapid series of blows, which may be regulated in strength by the rapidity ot' revolution. Itis also adjustable, so that it may be used to drill vsupports pivoted to revolve within said track,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,139, dated J' une 21, 1898. Application filed August 16, 1897. vSerial No. 648,427. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern.-
Be itknown that I, JOSEPH P. HARTMAN, of
Pueblo, in the county of Pueblo and State of Colorado, have invented a new and Improved Percussion-Drill, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Myinvention relates to an improvement in percussion-drills, and comprises rotatable arms carrying weights or hammers pivoted by their handles to the arms and which are made to successively contact with the head of the drill or a socketcontaining the drill and an orbital hammer-track controlling the path of the hammers, springs connected to the hammers and holding them at all times against said track, and means for increasing v the tension on the springs at certain predetermined points.
My invention further consists of certain details of constructions, which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation, on the line 2 2 in Fig.' 4, of the drilloperating mechanism with half of the casing removed. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the drill in position for operation, thev guideways being shown in section on theline 3 3 in Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a transverse, vertical section of the drill-operating mechanism on the lines l 4. in Figs. l and 2. Fig. 5 isa side elevation of the mechanism for supporting the drill-operating mechanism and for changing its position. Fig. 6 is a partial sectional View of the mechanism shown in Fig. 5, being that portion at the left of the central post, the section being taken on the lines G 6 in Figs. l and 5. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the clamp for`securing the arc hereinafter described in place'.` Fig. Sis a side elevation showing the operation of a pump and device for clearing the drill-hole. Fig. 9is a cross-sectional view showing the drill and the water -conducting pipe fixed thereto, and Fig. 10 is a sectional View on the line l0 l0 in Fig. 9.
The object of my invention is to produce a percussion-drill which may be easily transported and operated and which may be operated either by any form of power or by hand.
The drill is supported upon a central post A, which is provided at top and bottom with the dogs or centers A', which engage opposite walls of a tunnel or drift. The dogs A are so mounted in the post that the post is extensible and thus adapted to fit in places where the walls vary in distance from each other. The post A is provided With-a collar a2, which supports a sleeve a3, to which the drill-oper ating mechanism is pivoted. Above the collar as is another collar a, which has a side proj ecting lug a embracing the upper side of the arc B and thus holding the are against the side of the post. c
The arc B may be secured or locked in any position by means of the devices connected with the collar or block a. This latter part may be made in the form of a complete collar or as a semicircular block, as shown in Fig. '7. In the latter case it has a semicircular block or yoke a4 secured thereto .by the bolts a7 or other suitable means and the rear bearingblock a8. It is also provided with a clamping-screw a5 and a block a6, located in a recess in the under part of the block d back of the lug a and between the same andthe post A. By tightening the bolt or screw a5 the block or collar d is drawn to the rear, so as to tightly clamp the arc B between the lug d and the block a6, the aperture in the block or collar a being large enough to permit such motion.
The lower dog A is mounted upon the end of a screw A2, Which screws into the lower end of the post A. The upper dog'A is held in place by a collar A3 and a second collar A4, which are secured, respectively, to the dog and the post A by means of set-screws. Either of these methods of adjustment may be applied to either or both of the dogs, thereby making the post extensible. A bolt or pin b, fixed upon thesleeve a3, enters a notch in the lower part of the arc B and forms the pivot therefor.
. The -outer portion of the arc B extends through the major portion of a circle and is heldin place by the projecting portion of the lug a. By this means the entire mechanism of the drill is supported and is thus capable of adjustment at any Vertical angle likely to be desired. The sleeve a3 and a collar may IOO ' cross-barDnear the middle ofthe bars D furnishes a support for one end of the fced-screw D2, which is secured therein against longitudinal motion, but so that it may revolve, by means of the set-screw d or any other suitable means. Upon this feed-screw is a nut d', having a pivoted half d6 and also a circular groove d3. The nut d is rotated by means of a handle (Z2, which carries a pawl d4, engaging the teeth d5 upon the nut, or by means of any suitable ratchet mechanism. The nut d is formed in pivoted halves for convenience in shifting the frame carrying the drill. The forward end of the frame forming the guideways is provided with a set-screw D3, adapted to engage the face of the tunnel when the drill is put in place. The frame is also provided with adjustable guide-blocks C', adapt ed to receive and guide the shank of the drill, the blocks being supported in lugs C2, attached to the guideways.
The drill-operatin g mechanism is mounted in a casing which comprises a hammer-track E, which in the main is of circular' outline, but at one side (the upper, as shown in the drawings) is of increasing radius. This hammer-track, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is composed of two angle-irons slightly separated by blocks e' and the halves secured to each other by means of a bolt passing through each of said blocks. The outline of the hammert-rack is preserved by means of the arms E, connected thereto at intervals in its periphery and also acting as a support for the revolving spider F,l upon which 'the hammers are mounted. VVithin'the central hub E3 is journaled a shaft F', upon which is fixedly mounted the spider F, carrying the ham mers. This spider F has a, series of radial arms, to the outer ends of which are pivoted at g the arms or handles G' of the hammers G. As shown inthe drawings, the spider is provided with five arms and a similar number of hammers. The ham mers G are cylindrical in shape, and the central portion thereof is of greater diameter than the ends, thus forming rollers G2, which roll upon the inner surface of the hammentrack E. rlhe central and larger portion of the hammer is the face which strikes the drill or the socket which receives the drill. One end of the shaft F' may be provided with a squared portion F2 or constructed in any other suitable manner, so that a crank or powerA connections of any sort may be attached thereto.
When the spider F, carryin g the hammers, is revolved, the hammers will be caused to travel about the hammer -"`track, and when they reach the portion E'1 at'the top, which is of increased radius, they will travel outward against the inner surface thereof until they contact with the rear end of the drill-socket I, which latter consists of a rod or bar mounted so as to have limited reciprocation in the frame carrying the operating mechanism. The pivot g of the hammer arms or handles is located intermediate its ends. The end opposite the hammer is connected to a spiral spring G3, and this at its other end is connected, through the medium of aturnbuckle G4, to an arm f', formingl a part of a camplate f. The latter is pivoted to the arms of the spider F and to a projecting arm F3, attached thereto.` The cam-plate is also provided with a toothed edge f2, adapted to engage the toothed outer surface of a central cam E5, mounted upon the center of the drill-casing. As the spider F is revolved the plates f will engage the toothed cam E5, and thus oscillate the plates f, which results in bringing an additional tension upon the springs G, and thus holding the hammers G out against the hammer-track. The purpose of this construction is to insure the contact of the hammers with the hammer-track during the upper half of their revolution even if the device is not rotated at such a speed as to create sufficient centrifugal force for this purpose. The result of this :mechanism is to produce an increased tension upon the springs G3 through this upper portion of the stroke. As the spider Fis revolved so that the plates f clear the cam the tension upon the spring is released and the hammer is permitted to drop to its normal position.
The drillsocket I, which consists of a steel bar having its rear end tempered, is mounted to slide in bearings I'. The upper portion of the frame or casin g is provided with a recess adapted to receive a bevelgear h2, mounted upon the socket by means of a square holein the wheel and a squared section I2 upon the socket. This construction permits of a longitudinal reciprocation of the socket, while enabling the gear to rotate the socket upon its axis. Journaled in the casing are a series of four small rollers L, which bear against the front and rear surface of the bevel-gear h2, and thus hold it in its proper position, preventing its being moved by the reciprocation of the socket l. The bevel-gear 71.2 meshes with a bevel-gear 71., mounted upon the upper end of a shaft H, which is journaled in bearings upon the casing and extends in a radial direction. To the lower end of the sha-ft Il is fixed a bevel-gear h,which meshes with a bevel-gear H', mounted upon the shaft F. By this means the drill-socket and drill are given aslow,but constant, rotating movement.
A device for clearing out the drill-hole is shown in Figs. 8, 9, and 10. To the central shaft F is fixed a crank-arm R3, and an oscillatin g pump, consisting of a cylinder R, is pivoted at R to one of the arms E' and has its pump-rod R2 connected with the crank R3. A hose S connects the pump with a bucket S2 ICO IlO
or other convenient supply of water, and a hose S connects the pump-discharge with a' hollow ring T, surrounding the base of the drill. This ring has a centrally-opening slot T', so that the water is in contactv with the entire circumference of the drill.- The drill is either made of steel of a cross or star section or is provided with a longitudinal groove. Within this groove, or one of the grooves of the drill, if of astar-section, is fixed a pipe S3, which tits closelytherein. The rear end of this pipe enters the ringT, and it communieates therewith either by its open en'd or by a side opening T2.
That portion of the drill which enters the ring T is of course made of true circular cross-section, so that it may turn in the ring and not unduly leak. It may also permit a slight reciprocation of the drill within the ring T, while maintaining a tight joint about the drill and constant communication between the pipe S and tube SS. By this device a constant discharge of water is maintained at the point of .the drill, which will wash out the pulverized rockand keep the hole clear. It is evident that any kind of pump may be used as a substitute for that shown and described. The pump is prefer- Aabl y operated by the rotation of the hammers.
To prevent injury to the mechanism if the spider F is revolved while the drill is not in contact with the wall, a spring M is mounted so that at one end it will press against the casing and at the other end against the end of the squared section l2 upon the drill-socket.
. In case the hammers G should strike the rear end of the drill-socket while the drill is not in place, the shock will be taken by the spring M and the mechanism will not be destroyed. To take the backward recoil of the drillsocket and drill, a spiral spring M is placed outside the casing and bears against the casing and the head 13, which receives the end of the drill C. This outer end of the drillsocket is protected by a funnel J.
The drill C is pointed at its rear end and enters a hole or socket in the outer end of the socket-bar I and is secured in place by a set-screw. The forward end of the drill, as previously stated, is guided between the blocks C' upon the outer end of the guideways D. Y
The hammers G, being cylindrical in form and journaled upon the ends of the arms G', roll upon the surface e2 of the hammer-track E instead of sliding thereon. This prevents a large amount of friction which would otherwise result. It also results in striking the rear end of the drill-socket bya different portion of the hammer at each stroke and thus len gthens the life of the hammer, preventing its being battered up. The casing E, which forms the hammertrack and support for the drill-operatin g mechanism, is supported from the guideways D by means of two bars or lugs E2, which, asshown Yin Fig. 3, are provided at their upper ends with a hook or notch adapted to engage the under edge of the upper guide-bar D. The lower portions of the brackets or lugs E2 similarly engage the lower one of the guide-bars D, except that the hook which engages the inner side thereof is upon a. pivoted lever e, thus permitting the device vto be readily detached from the guideways. This lever c is held in locked position by means of a pin or bolt c3, passing through a supplemental lug on the bottom of the bracket or lug E2. The rear one of. these brackets or lugs E2 has a side projecting flange E6, which engages the groove d3 in the nut d. As the nut is revolved by the ratchet-handle d2 the entire casing carrying the drill-operating mechanism is moved upon the guideways D, thus following the drill as it sinks into the rock.
A counterbalance is provided for supporting the weight of the hammer-track and the mechanism carried thereby when the device is adjusted so that the guides D depart materially from the horizontal, which will be the case when drilling inclined or vertical holes. This consists of pulleys p and p', over which passes a cord P', which has attached to the lower end thereof the removable weights P and at the other end has a hook which may be attached to either of the eyes O, iiXed to the brackets E2 of the frame carrying the i drill and its operating mechanism. The pulleys p and p are located centrally of the arc B, and the hook `upon the cord P may be at- IOO tached to the eye O at the front or rear end of the frame E, so as to either assist or retard the feeding of the drill, as maybe necessary.l The attachment of the weights depends upon the direction of the drill and the number of the weights by the angle of the drill. These IOS weights are made so as to be readily. attachp able or detachable in any suitable manneras, for-instance, by notching or slott-ing them, as are the weights used with scales.`
This drill may be constructed in varying sizes and so that it may be operated by any form of power connections or by a crank and hand-power. It is small and light and in use is easily transported to any point where it may be needed. It is also quickly set up and is of such simple character that it may be 0perated by any one of ordinary intelligence without previous training or instruction. It is also very effective, as it deliversv a rapid series of blows, which may be regulated in strength by the rapidity ot' revolution. Itis also adjustable, so that it may be used to drill vsupports pivoted to revolve within said track,
hammers having arms pivoted to said supports, and rollers engaging the track, substantially as described. l
