Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
THE METHOD OF SETTING HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES THROUGH WEARING LININGS OVER EARTH AND INTO THE EARTH COMPRISING FIRST, FORMING A PASSAGE FOR THE VALVE THROUGH THE WEARING LINING AND INTO THE EARTH, THEN CONNECTING THE VALVE TO APPARATUS OPERABLE TO VIBRATE IT, AND THEN MOVING THE VALVE INTO THAT PASSAGE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY VIBRATING THE VALVE BY SAID APPARATUS TO CONFORM THE PASSAGE TO THE CONFIGURATION OF THE VALVE.
Claim 2

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
188 words
APPARATUS FOR PIERCING WEARING LININGS OVER EARTH AND THE LIKE AND SETTING HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES THROUGH THE LININGS AND INTO THE EARTH, COMPRISING: A PIERCING-SETTING MEMBER OPERABLE WHEN DRIVEN INTO THE LINING TO FORM A PASSAGE THEREIN, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID MEMBER AND OPERABLE TO VIBRATE IT AS THE MEMBER IS DRIVEN THROUGH THE LINING TO COMPACT THE MATERIALS SURROUNDING THE PASSAGE FORMED DURING THE PIERCING OPERATION, AND TO CONSOLIDATE THE MATERIALS SURROUNDING THE VALVE DURING THE SETTING OPERATION, A RECIPROCABLE UNIT MOUNTING SAID MEMBER AND SAID VIBRATING MEANS, A VERTICALLY-EXTENDING SUPPORT ASSEMBLY CARRYING VERTICAL-EXTENDING RACK MEANS, A DRIVE MOTOR MOUNTED ON SAID RECIPROCABLE UNIT, AND GEAR MEANS DRIVEN BY THE MOTOR AND ENGAGED WITH SAID RACK MEANS, SAID RECIPROCABLE UNIT BEING MOUNTED ON SAID GEAR MEANS IN SUCH FASHION THAT THE UNIT IS SELECTIVELY DRIVEN UPWARD AND DOWNWARD TO DRIVE THE PIERCING-SETTING MEMBER IN THE SAME DIRECTIONS, WHEN THE DRIVE MOTOR IS SUPPLIED WITH POWER, DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE GEAR MEANS, SAID SUPPORT ASSEMBLY ITSELF BEING MOVABLE BETWEEN AN UPPER POSITION REMOTE FROM THE LINING AND A LOWER POSITION ADJACENT THE LINING.
