The Bradley Upright Cushioned Strap-Hammer, shown in Fig. 2, has a helve of steel, in an arched form, with the head or ram carrying the die sustained and operated by an endless leather strap, suspended between spool-shaped bearings, and extending lengthwise of the helve. This device allows of the utmost opening between the dies, either at rest or in action, and its elasticity and freedom of motion increases the throw of the ram, while at the same time the stroke of the eccentric is shortened. The hammer is operated by an eccentric at the rear, connected by a pitman to the saddle or oscillator which carries the helve, and by this helve motion is imparted to the head or ram, In this way the blow is made to imitate the action of a hand-hammer. |
