GB-189,517,390	Jul. 25, 1896	Improvements Relating to the Apparatus Employed in Operating the Valves of Steam-hammers, the Valves of which are or may be Arranged to be Worked by the Attendants in Charge thereof.	Harold F. Massey	Openshaw, Lancaster County, England	Abstract: This invention relates to the apparatus employed in operating the valves of steam-hammers, the valves of which are or may be arranged to be worked by the attendants in charge thereof, and consists in improvements by which such steam-hammers are rendered more convenient in use than they have hitherto been. The object of the first part of my invention is to reduce the shocks to which the hand or hands of the attendant operating the valve or valves of a steam-hammer in which the valve or valves is or are arranged to be worked by hand while provision is made for the said valve or valves being moved by the movement of the piston or tup of such steam-hammer if the said piston be at any time in danger of being allowed to move too far in the direction for moving the tup from the anvil, have hitherto been subjected when after the valve or valves has or have been moved by hand to remove the tup from theanvil the tup has acted upon the valve or valves in order to move it or them. Claim: In a steam-hammer in which the valve or valves is or are arranged to be worked by hand and provision is made for such valve or valves being moved by the movement, of the piston or tup of such steam-hammer if the said piston be at any time in danger of being allowed to move too far in the direction for moving the tup of the steam-hammer from the anvil employed in conjunction with it; the combination with the lever or handle by means of which the valve or valves of such steam-hammer is or are moved by the attendant operating it or them and the tripper or part upon which the tup of the steam-hammer acts when moving such valve or valves, of a spring or springs or elastic connection or elastic connections provided or interposed between such lever or handle and tripper or part for the purposes and substantially in the manner hereinbefore described.
GB-189,606,526	Mar. 13, 1897	Improvements in Steam-hammers and Other Hammers Worked by the Pressure of Elastic Fluids	Leonard F. Massey	Openshaw, Lancaster County, England	Abstract: My invention relates to steam-hammers and other hammers worked by the pressure of elastic fluids, and has for its object the provision of means simpler, more convenient and more efficient than those hitherto provided for such purpose, to enable such hammers to be used as stamps whenever it may be desirable to so use them, at which times the tups of such hammers are required to remain away from the anvils employed in conjunction with them until required to strike a blow or make a stroke and then to strike such blow or make such stroke and afterwards return and remain away from the said anvils until the next blow or stroke is required to be struck or made. Claim: In a steam-hammer or other hammer worked by the pressure of elastic fluid, the combination with the valve-rod or other suitable part connected to the valve or valves employed to control the admission and release of steam or other motive fluid to and from the cylinder of the hammer, of a spring or springs or weight or weights or piston or pistons acted upon by the pressure of steam or other fluid or other means tending tb move the said valve or valves so as to cause the tup of the hammer to be moved away from the anvil employed in conjunction with it, an arm arranged to be moved as may be requisite from time to time by means of a lever held in the various positions requisite by any suitable means such as a quadrant and detent, a stop or catch upon the said arm, and a stop or catch upon the valve-rod or other suitable part connected to the said valve or valves to act in conjunction with the stop or catch upon the said arm so as to limit at such times as the stop or catch upon the said arm is brought into the path of the stop or catch upon the valve-rod or other suitable part connected to the said valve or valves, the movement of the valve or valves aforesaid in the direction for causing the tup of the hammer to be moved away from the anvil employed in conjunction with it, all arranged, employed and operating substantially in the manner hereinbefore described and for the purpose of enabling the said hammer to he readily caused to operate as a stamp.
