Patent number: 6467558Abstract: Three air hammers are housed and arranged in a hammer case, and have bits at their respective ends. Each of the air hammers can be activated independently. In a normal excavation, the earth is excavated by activating all the air hammers. When correcting an excavating direction, only an air hammer positioned in the correct direction is activated first so that the earth in the correct direction is excavated in a predetermined amount. Next, all the air hammers are activated to excavate the earth. Thereby, a leading hammer can direct the excavation toward the correct direction, and thus the excavating direction is corrected.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Tone CorporationInventors: Osamu Miyamoto, Yoshio Akiyama, Taro Watanabe

Patent number: 5105638Abstract: A rolling method and machine provides for decreasing the rolling load of work rolls of a rolling mill for a given reduction ratio achieved thereby. A pair of pinch rolls upstream of the work rolls have projections that form a large number of recesses in one or both surfaces of a metal workpiece. A lubricating agent is forced into the recesses in the region of contact between the workpiece and the work rolls. As a result, when the workpiece is rolled by the work rolls the lubricating agent is retained in the recesses such that the recesses progressively are flattened, thereby causing the lubricating agent to form a boundary film between the portion of the workpiece being rolled and the work rolls. The recesses are controlled to regulate the dimension of the length of each recess in the direction of rolling of the workpiece, to regulate the inclination of front and rear walls of each recess, and to regulate the total area of the recesses relative to the total surface area of the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1991Date of Patent: April 21, 1992Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiki Mito, Hiroshi Aratani, Kazuo Morimoto, Keiji Mizuta, Osamu Miyamoto, Yukio Hiasa, Hideaki Furumoto
