Abstract
Abstract Telescopic columns for making foundations including in reciprocal coordination and cooperation a motor group comprising at least two guide pulleys having a proportion to each other of one to two; inner and outer movable columns; axially immovable canoe guide means surrounding said columns; a chain secured to the two ends of the outer movable column and driven by the smaller of said pulleys; a chain secured to the lower part of the inner movable column and to the upper part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and driven by the larger pulley; a cable connecting the upper part of the inner movable column to the lower part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and a transmission sheave solidly fixed to the lower part of the outer movable column through which passes said cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
In telescopic columns of machines for making foundations consisting of an axially immovable canoe means, a movable outer column guided by said canoe means and a movable inner column within said outer column and guided by said outer column, the improvements including in reciprocal coordination and cooperation a drive means comprising at least two guide pulleys having a proportion to each other of one to two; a chain secured to the two ends of the outer movable column and driven by the smaller of said pulleys; a chain secured to the lower part of the inner movable column and to the upper part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and driven by said larger of said pulleys; a cable connecting the upper part of the inner movable column to the lower part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and a transmission sheave solidly fixed to the lower part of the outer movable column through which passes said cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
In telescopic columns of machines for making foundations consisting of an axially immovable canoe means, a movable outer column guided by said canoe means and a movable inner column within said outer column and guided by said outer column, the improvements including in reciprocal coordination and cooperation a drive means comprising at least two guide pulleys having a proportion to each other of one to two; a chain secured to the two ends of the outer movable column and driven by the smaller of said pulleys; a chain secured to the lower part of the inner movable column and to the upper part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and driven by said larger of said pulleys; a cable connecting the upper part of the inner movable column to the lower part of the axially immovable guide canoe means and a transmission sheave solidly fixed to the lower part of the outer movable column through which passes said cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
In the telescopic columns of machines for making foundations as in claim 1 including a first transmission pulley fixed to the guide canoe means, and a second transmission pulley anchored to the upper end of the outer column, said chain secured to the lower part of the inner movable column passing in succession to the larger pulley, thereafter to said first transmission pulley, next to said second transmission pulley and thereafter arriving at a fixed anchorage means in said canoe means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
