Record 6 1999-05-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire-Fighting and Rescue Equipment
DEF

A portable, hand-operated piston pump with a short hose and a stirrup-shaped foot bracket for holding the pump on the floor or ground. The pump is used as a first aid for small fires and in cramped quarters. The pump is supplied by water from buckets and is a common US forest Service pump for back-pack operations.

CONT

Two different types of pump tanks are available : one is cylindrical and the other is made to be used as a back-pack.... The cylindrical model has carrying handles either attached to the container or built into the pump handle, and the water is discharged by a built-in, hand-operated vertical piston pump to which a short rubber hose is attached. The pump is double-acting and discharges water on both the up and the down strokes. To operate a cylindrical pump tank, place it on the ground and put one foot on the extension bracket at the base to steady the unit.

French

Record 7 1999-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
DEF

A prop consisting of two telescoping steel cylinders which are extended by hydraulic pressure which may be provided by a hand-operated pump built into the prop. The prop holds about half a gallon of mineral oil and is fitted with a yield valve which relieves the pressure when the load exceeds that for which the prop is set. An hydraulic prop enables quicker setting, uniform initial loading and it can be withdrawn from a remote, safe position. The year 1947 saw the first hydraulic prop in a British coal mine-today there are more than one million in use.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage et équipement (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Dans un étançon hydraulique, l'ensemble des deux cylindres constitue un vérin hydraulique, qui est relié par une tuyauterie à une centrale hydraulique. La pression de pose (lors de la mise en place) est fournie par la centrale. La pression de coulissement peut être réglée par un système de clapets de décharge. L'étançon hydraulique, par sa pression de pose élevée et sa souplesse de coulissement, constitue le meilleur soutènement.
