Abstract: Apparatus for repairing a section of chain having a closed rectangular frame and a hydraulic ram located within the confines of the frame. The frame has a pair of spaced parallel side rails, a front end member connecting one end of the side rails, and a rear end member connecting the other end of the side rails. Each side rail has a U-shaped downwardly opening notch located between the front end member and the rear end member to lie over a chain to be worked on. An anvil is located on a face of the front end member and the front member is removably connected to the side rails so it may be reversed relative to the side rails to locate the anvil within the confines of the frame when connecting chain sections and outside of the confines of the frame when disconnecting chain sections. The ram has a first head which contacts chain connecting pins to disconnect chain sections and a second head which contacts a link to connect chain sections.

Abstract: A rotary valve having a housing with a center section and a pair of end sections attached to the center section. A rotary shaft extending axially through the center section into said end sections with bearings in each end section rotatably supporting an end of the shaft. The center section and the end sections form a pair of axially aligned chambers within the housing and a cylindrical rotor is located in each chamber. Each rotor is fixed to the shaft for rotation with the shaft and each rotor has a continuous groove formed in its peripheral edge. A plurality of radially and angularly spaced arcuate slots are formed in each face of each rotor and a plurality of passages are formed in each rotor. The passages intersect the arcuate slots and the continuous groove to connect arcuate slots with other arcuate slots and with the groove. Passageways are formed in the end sections of the valve to connect the individual chambers with the exterior of the housing.

Abstract: A drill housing includes an internal cavity for receiving a unitary tubular support member rotatably supported by bearing assemblies in the drill housing. The tubular support member is connected through meshing gears to a drive shaft of a rotary motor mounted externally on the drill housing. An upper end portion of the tubular support member is rotatably supported by a first bearing assembly and is nonrotatably connected to a drill retaining member that extends into a central bore of the tubular support member. The drill retaining member has a socket for receiving the shank of a drill steel. A lower end portion of the tubular support member is rotatably supported by a second bearing assembly. An enlarged intermediate body portion of the support member separates the upper and lower end portions and supports the first and second bearing asemblies.
