Abstract: 1004. Jones, W. L. Jan. 15. Rolling.-A rolling-mill is constructed to reduce billets or discs in thickness while extending the longitudinal and lateral dimensions to substantially the same amount; for instance, in the manufacture of ladles from discs with a handle extension of substantially the required thickness, the disc portion is reduced in thickness while extended laterally in all directions. The work 55 is carried by a table 6, roated in a vertical bearing 4 by worm gearing 16 from a main shaft (not shown). A roll 17 is composed of a number of discs 18 free to rotate on a shaft 19 having a fixed central collar 20. The shaft is carried in eccentric bushes 21 in bearings 22 vertically movable in side frames 2. The roll shaft is given an oscillating movement of half a revolution by a rack and pinion operated by a crank 37, which movement is converted into a reciprocating longitudinal movement of the shaft by cams 28 fixed on it engaging cam surfaces 27 on the bearings 22. This causes the discs 18 to move across the face of the table to prevent the formation of ridges. The extension 56 of the work rests in a groove in the table. The roll is automatically moved towards the table by rods 42' connected to the bushes 21 and operated by eccentrics 44 on a shaft 45 driven from the main shaft. The rods are adjustable in length, and the eccentrics are adjustable in throw, to permit the operation on blanks of different thicknesses. In case of a stoppage &c. while the work is still in place, the roll can be raised by a hand-lever on a frame connected to the eccentric bushes 21, allowing the work to be removed.

Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 7935. Kempshall, E. Dec. 31, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Moulding balls.-Relates to the manufacture of balls with an outer stiff shell and a compressible core. The core 22, formed of soft rubber, is made of somewhat greater size than is required, and is placed between hemispherical &c. segments 20, 21 of gutta-percha or the like in a mould 23, 24, which may be heated to soften the shell. The top part of the mould is then forced downwards, causing the shell segments to meet, and then forcing the material outwards into the space A between the two moulds. The further movement of the part 23 forces the material back again, thus forming a thickened part 25, Fig. 4, at the weld, which gives increased strength and serves to lock the shell on the core. For golf balls, the surface may be pebbled, as shown, but for billiard &c. balls it is left smooth. The invention is applicable to the formation of balls in which the shell segments are held together by cement.
