(54) Improvement in a copying distributor spool in hydraulic circuits for controlling hammer motion in punching machines


(57) Improvement in a spool of a copying distributor in a hydraulic circuit (3) for controlling the motion of a cylinder for a hammer (4) in a punching machine, including a pressurized fluid source (24a) in communication with said hydraulic circuit (3), a distributor body (5) which is connected to said hydraulic circuit through pipe fittings and is formed with pressurised-fluid supply lights (6, 33) and discharge light (7) communicating with said pipe fittings, at least one valve means (9) arranged in said hydraulic circuit to control the said distributor body (5), a spool (1) slidably mounted in said body (5) and arranged cyclically to open and close the said lights (6, 33, 7), one operating end (11) of said spool (1) extending outside said distributor body (5) through a calibrated aperture (12) and being arranged to abut against a reference member (13) designed to move rigid with said hammer (4). The improvement provides for a recess (14) formed in said operating end (11) and having one end (15) thereof blind and its other end (16) open, a pin (17) slidably mounted in said open end (16) and arranged to be displaced therein by pressurised fluid flows controlled by said valve means (9), and at least one duct (18) formed in said distributor body (5) and arranged to feed pressurised fluid from said fluid source (24a) to said recess (14).
