MOFEATTERS, OF VVILKINSBURG, PENN- ELECTRIC HAMMER.
. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 773,124, dated October 25, 1904.
Application filed December 4, 1903. Serial No. 183,836. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADoLPH F. CHRISTMAS, a
resident of Pittsburg, in the county of Alle'- In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a hammer constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the handle-casting with the handle omitted. Fig. 3 is a side view of the circuit-closing switch, and Fig. 1
is a plan view of the same.
My hammer is provided with only a single motor-coil, (shown at 1,) having inside of it a lining-tube 2, which reciprocates the core or armature 3. This coil and the armature are inclosed in a suitable casing; Tools of this kind are subjected to violent shocks, and heretofore difliculty has been experienced in so constructing the casing as to withstand these shocks. My casing comprises the front end or nose-piece 4, preferably formed of soft steel and having an opening therethrough for the passage of the shank 5 'of the tool. A hardened-steel bushing 6 is placed in this end piece to take the wear of the tool-shank. This end piece is provided with an external annular shoulder 7, which is engaged by an internal annular shoulder 8 on the coil-inclosing tube 9. Preferably both the shoulders 7 and 8 are slightly undercut, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to prevent their slipping past each other after being worn. The inclosing tube 9 at its opposite end is provided with an external annular shoulder 10, which is engaged by an internal shoulder 11 on one end of a coupling-sleeve 12. This sleeve at its opposite end is internally-threaded and engages external threads on the end or handle casting 13. The coupling-sleeve 12 binds all of the parts together.
The end piece 13 is made hollow, so as to provide a chamber 1 1, into which the end of the core 3 can project when retracted. The space at the end of the coil is filled by a bushing 15, which is provided with an opening 16, through which pass the circuit-wires 17,1eading to the coil. In order to prevent rotation of this bushing and the shearing off of these circuit-wires, I place a short pin 18 in alining openings in the bushing 15 and end piece 13.
Interposed between the inner end of the core 3 and the end piece 13 is a helical spring 19, which acts as acushion and also starts the core on its return stroke. Preferably the end of the core is provided with a chamber 20 in p which this spring will be inclosed when compressed, so as to permit said core to move entirely to the end of the chamber 1 1. A similar helical spring 21 is interposed between the opposite end of the core and the front end piece l and serves to retract the core, said core being moved in its active stroke by the energization of the coil 1. A hardened-steel plug 22 is set into the forward end of the core 3 to take the wear of the impact with the shank of the tool.
In the handle-casting are mounted the two circuit-terminals 2A and 25, which are arranged to be electrically connected by a metallic U-shaped member 27, carried on a block of insulation 28, secured to the ends of the switch-arms 29. The latter are suitably pivoted to the casing, as at 30, and their outwardly-projecting arms are provided with a cross bar or roller 31, which is engaged by a fork 32, formed on the handle 33. This handle is pivoted to the casting at 3 1, and a stiff leaf-spring 35 is secured to the casting and engages a shoulder 36 on the handle and tends normally to hold said handle away from the casting in the full-line position shown in Fig.
1. The switch-arms 29 and their engagement 27 will not bridge the terminals 24 and 25,. and consequently the circuit to the coil is broken. The act of pressing the tool against its work, however, will bring the handle 3 to the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1, and this movement swings the switch-blade aboutits pivot and brings the bridge-piece 27 between the terminals 2% and 25, thus closing the circuit to the coil and putting the tool into operation. As soon, however, as the pressure against the tool is released the spring 35 will throw the handle 33 out, thus causing the circuit to be broken.
A helical spring 37 has one end connected to a stud 38 on the end of the switch-blade and its opposite end secured to the casing in such position that the axial line of said spring will pass the center on which the switch-blade is pivoted whenever said switch-blade moves from one position to another, said spring thus accelerating the opening and closing movements of the switch and preventing the formation and maintenance of arcs. The wires to the hammer pass into the casing through a bushing etO, secured to the handle-casting by means of a screw-threaded sleeve 4E1, the object of this being to permit the formation of knots in the cord inside of the casting, so as to take the strain off the binding-posts.
The tool shown and described is very strong and compact and will withstand the severe vibrations due to the reciprocations of the armature. Furthermore, the arrangement of the circuit-closer and handle is such that the attendant is relieved of the necessity of starting and stopping the tool, the mere act of presenting the tool to the work or withdrawing the same therefrom suificing to start and stop the same.
