Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 25,770. Kremer, F. W. Nov. 11. Tyres, clastic, special apparatus for making.- In a machine for making rubber tubes suitable for wheel tyres, a loose mandrel is used,.resting in a bight of a carrier, such as an endless belt, which serves the sheet material to the mandrel. The mandrel 31 is pressed by a roller 30 to form a bight in the carrier 20 between rollers 11, 12. The roller 30 is preferably covered with yielding material. The carrier 20 passes over rollers 7, 11, 12, 19 and is yieldingly held in tension by a weighted lever 14<c> actuating a pinion 14<b> which engages with a rack 14 carrying the roller 19. Between the rollers 7, 11 the carrier passes over a table 2 and the sheet rubber is laid on this portion of the carrier. Gear is provided to drive the rollers 7, 11, 12, 19, 30 with the same surface speed. Atmospheric pressure serves to retain the rubber in contact with the mandrel, for which purpose the carrier is porous, preferably of felt, and the mandrel of metal. Two levers (not shown) are secured to the shaft 22, to which is also secured the arm 27 carrying the roller 30. One lever extends to within reach of the operator, whereby the roller 30 may be depressed by hand and the other lever carries an adjustable weight which raises the roller 30 when hand pressure is removed. The carrier then conveys the mandrel and finished tube out to the rear of the machine.

Abstract: 13,493. Foy, F., and Mather, C., [trading as Reliance Manufacturing Co.]. June 3. Plate apparatus.- Relates to radiators for motor-driven vehicles, water-coolers, oil-heaters, continuous heaters, &c. of the kind in which the tubes each comprise two or more longitudinal channels connected by a flatter portion. The invention consists in means for attaching the ends of the tubes to tube plates, and in the general construction of the device. Each tube is formed of two pieces b, c, Fig. 1, of sheet metal with longitudinal channels f and intermediate flat portions e, the sides b of the sheets being secured to each other by folding. The flat portions e are slit near the ends of the channels f and the slitted portions are folded one over the other. The ends of the channels f thus left projecting form spigots g, Fig. 3, which are first given a conical shape in suitable dies and are then passed through holes in the tube plates m. The spigots together with ferrules n, o are expanded into the holes in the tube plates, the various stages being shown in Fig. 3. One or both of the ferrules may be dispensed with. A portion of the folded part of the flat portion e is bent at a right-angle to form an abutment against the tube plate m. Corrugated, fluted, plain, or other plates are secured between each pair of tubes, and the various joints are made tight by dipping or immersing the device in molten solder. Holes j are made in the folded parts and in adjacent parts to promote the lodgment of solder.
