Abstract: 22,709. Keegan, F. J., and Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co. Sept. 30. Soldering; angular bending; coiling. -In making tubular or beaded edged wheel rims, the brazing-alloy, preferably in the form of wires, is inserted at an intermediate point in the formation of the edges of the strip, the edges are then completed and brazed by passing through a heating-apparatus, and the strips are then coiled and severed. The severed ends are joined by brazing after leaving the machine. The flat strip a, Fig. 1, is conveyed by feed-rollers d from a drum in a fluxing-tank to the rollers b<1>, which form it into the section B, Fig. 5. The brazing-wires g<1>, which are carried by drums g, pass through holes h<1> in the guides h and are initially hooked over the strip, which feeds them along while the weight g<4> is being adjusted. They are thereafter kept in contact with the strip to give a friction feed by a roller g<2> on the lever carrying the weight The strip obtains its final form from the rollers b<2>, and is then passed through an electric or gas-heating apparatus such as c. It is finally coiled on a drum f by the rollers e. The feed-rolls are driven from the rolls b<1>, b<2> through bevel gear, and drive the bending-rolls through spur gear. According to the Provisional Specification the bending and feed rolls may be driven by chain gear and the strip fluxed by a heated fluxing-solution agitated to ensure its reaching the edges.

Abstract: 8356. Mears, J. W., Davies, R., and Crawshaw, L. S. April 9. Tufting-machines.-In a machine for making hearthrugs, mats, or carpets by inserting tufts in rows into a woven foundation p, Fig. 2, the foundation is passed over a grid composed of a number of plates spaced apart on rods n. The upper surface of the grid may be curved or flat. In a modification, the grid consists of bars caused to rise and fall. Grippers 29, 30 are advanced through the eyes of pairs of needles 13 in an open position and are then closed on the ends of strips of material, which are fed forwards by reciprocating blocks 52, the strips passing through holes in the blocks. The grippers then retire, pulling the strips through the needles, and the strips are severed by reciprocating cutters 62 and fixed cutters 66. The grippers are carried by blocks mounted on angle-irons 23, 24 hinged together near their ends, and a spring catch 39 carried by the iron 24 normally engages an extension of the iron 23 to hold the grippers open against the action of a spring. The catch is tripped at the end of the forward motion by an adjustable bracket 43. The grippers are opened at the end of the rearward motion by a cam-surface on an adjustable bracket 47. The fixed cutters 66 are carried by a bar 65, which is adjustably mounted, and each cutter may be adjusted by a screw 71. The cutters 62 are guided by plates 67 on the bar 65. The strips of tufting-material in the needles are inserted in the foundation p, which is clamped to the grid by a presser-bar t. When the needles are again clear of the foundation, the bar t is raised and a bar w provided with pins is lowered and moved forwards to feed the fabric into position for the insertion of the next row of strips. Specification 19,612/08 is referred to.
