Abstract
Abstract Fixed clamp jaw means and movable clamp jaw means movable by piston and cylinder means receive a pneumatic vibrator therebetween, and a fixed connector member has a bore which slidably receives the air inlet nose portion of the vibrator. The piston and cylinder means and the bore are connectible to a common source of air under pressure whereby the piston and cylinder means are actuated for clamping the vibrator and air under pressure is transmitted to the vibrator for actuating the latter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
For use with a pneumatic vibrator having a generally cylindrical housing with an axial nose portion in which is formed an air inlet passageway, a self-clamping automatic air connection vibrator mount comprising a base, fixed clamp jaw means secured to said base and engageable with one side of the vibrator housing, movable clamp jaw means mounted on said base and engageable with the other side of the vibrator housing, piston and cylinder means carried by said base for effecting movement of said movable clamp jaw means, a connector member secured to said base and having a bore for axially slidably receiving the nose portion of the vibrator with the air inlet passageway of the vibrator communicating with said bore, and said piston and cylinder means and said bore being connectible to a common source of air under pressure whereby said piston and cylinder means are actuated for clamping the vibrator housing between said fixed and movable clamp jaw means and air under pressure is transmitted to the air inlet passageway of the vibrator for actuating the latter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
For use with a pneumatic vibrator having a generally cylindrical housing with an axial nose portion in which is formed an air inlet passageway, a self-clamping automatic air connection vibrator mount comprising a base, fixed clamp jaw means secured to said base and engageable with one side of the vibrator housing, movable clamp jaw means mounted on said base and engageable with the other side of the vibrator housing, piston and cylinder means carried by said base for effecting movement of said movable clamp jaw means, a connector member secured to said base and having a bore for axially slidably receiving the nose portion of the vibrator with the air inlet passageway of the vibrator communicating with said bore, and said piston and cylinder means and said bore being connectible to a common source of air under pressure whereby said piston and cylinder means are actuated for clamping the vibrator housing between said fixed and movable clamp jaw means and air under pressure is transmitted to the air inlet passageway of the vibrator for actuating the latter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
The vibrator mount of claim 1 wherein said movable clamp jaw is in the form of at least one lever, said lever is pivotally mounted relative to said base, one end of said lever is engageable with the other side of the vibrator housing, and said piston and cylinder means is arranged between said base and the other end of said lever.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The vibrator mount of claim 2 wherein said fixed clamp jaw means and said one end of said lever present generally arcuate face means at least portions of which are engageable with the vibrator housing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The vibrator mount of claim 3 wherein said arcuate face means are formed with radially inwardly directed contact projection means which are circumferentially spaced approximately 120* apart and which are engageable with the vibrator housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The vibrator mount of claim 4 including seal means in said bore for establishing an air tight seal between the nose portion of the vibrator and said bore.
