AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a device and method for converting chemical energy into controlled mechanical motion. The device consists of a barrel with two chambers separated by a mechanically activated release valve. The chemical energy is stored in one chamber and is released through the valve to act upon an elastically compressible and expansible gas inside the actuation chamber. The device can be ignited and the gas compressed to extend the actuator beyond the front of the barrel. The technical effect of this invention is a controlled and efficient way to generate mechanical motion through the use of chemical energy.

Problems solved by technology

The external power sources are generally expensive, heavy and cumbersome.
These devices do not store energy.
Currently available are energy storage devices such as batteries which can power tools but which are limited in power.

Embodiment Construction

.” The claim or claims that follow define this device and method in terms that distinguish it from the prior art and point out its non-obviousness characteristics; however, without limiting the scope of this invention as expressed by these claims, in general terms, some, but not necessarily all, of the features are:

[0007]One, this device is for storing and converting chemical energy into controlled mechanical motion. The device consisting of a barrel with two end to end chambers with a mechanically activated release valve between the chambers. One chamber is for storing released chemical energy and is the chemical chamber. The chemical chamber has a piston inside. The second chamber is the actuation chamber. The actuation chamber contains a piston and push-rod arrangement called the push-rod. The piston separates the chemical energy from a elastically compressible and expansible gas that fills the sealed space between the piston and the push-rod. The end of the barrel, at the stored...

Abstract

A device for storing and converting chemical energy into controlled mechanical motion requires that chemical energy is released through ignition and stored in an accumulator. When a release valve is activated the stored energy is used to move a piston and push-rod arrangement, which can be used to actuate certain power tools.

Description

DEFINITIONS[0001]The words “comprising”, “having”, “containing”, and “including” and other forms thereof, are intended to be equivalent in meaning and be open ended in that an item or items following any one of these words is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of such item or items, or meant to be limited to only the listed item or items.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to an Energy Accumulating Actuator.[0003]Currently available are piston accumulators designed to store and release energy generated from external sources. The external power sources are generally expensive, heavy and cumbersome. Example of such devices are disclosed by Ashton (U.S. Pat. No. 2,365,994), Elmer; Adam (U.S. Pat. No. 3,613,734) and Weber; Norbert (U.S. Pat. No. 6,923,215).[0004]Currently available are devices that use chemical energy to provide power for certain tasks such as the internal combustion engine or powder actuated tools an example being Temple (U.S. Pat. No. ...
