Patent GB-190315659-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rolling Metal Tubes and in Appliances to be used in connection therewith.
Inventor: DOLLMAN HUBERT
Filed: 1903-07-15
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 15,659. Dollman, H. July 15. Rolling. - Relates to methods of and apparatus for rolling metal tubes. The mandrel holding the bulb between the grooved rollers is placed in tension instead of compression as in the ordinary process. This allows a longer tube to be rolled. Again, the tube when rolled, instead of being passed over the top of the roller to be rolled through again, is passed back through another pair of rollers, working in the opposite direction, as shown in Fig. 1, time and labour being thus saved. The mandrel consists of one or two tension-rods G', G<2> and a bulb part H. This bulb part H is attached to the rods by means of heads h<2>, h<3> and neck-pieces h<4>, h<5> fitting in recesses g<3> and slots g<4> at the ends of the rods, the heads bearing against collars as shown in Fig. 6. The largest diameter h<1> is of course equal to the internal diameter of the tube, and may be made solid with the neck-pieces h<4>, h<5> or may be detachable as shown in Fig. 9. Again, the collar may be on the rods G<1>, G<2> and the recesses on the part H. The pull on the rod is taken by means of the collars g<6>, bearing on the cross-piece F. The bottom roller of one set A carries a pinion M which drives a pinion L carried by the lower roller of the other set, so that the pair A revolve in the direction opposite to that of the pair J. The ingot I is placed on the rod G' and the part H is attached and held between the rollers, which roll the ingot over this part on to the rod G<2>. This is then taken, with the tube on it, to the rollers J, and connected to a bulb of the same or smaller diameter, according as to whether the rod is to be finished or drawn. The tube is now rolled on to the rod G<1>, the operation being repeated. A single mandrel may be used, however, the ingot being passed over the top of the roller in the ordinary manner. The two pairs of rollers may be used with the ordinary compressed roller and loose conical working-end if desired. For finishing, some of the grooves on the rollers A are made more nearly circular than is usually the case.

Title: Improvements in Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving and Jack Frames
Inventor: HEYWOOD JAMES
Filed: 1903-08-21
Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 18,052. Heywood, J. Aug. 21. Building-motions.-The traverse of the bobbins in slubbing, intermediate, roving, and jack frames is gradually diminished by means of a taper plate or shaper b fixed to the shortening- rack a of the ordinary building- mechanism. A bracket d carrying two bowls e, f is secured to the reciprocating bobbin rail c, and as the rack a is gradually moved inwards, the increasing diameter of the taper plate causes the bowls to oscillate the rack and the cradle k at decreasing intervals, thereby lessening the traverse of the bobbins. By making the shaper slightly concave, a convex taperuosed bobbin can be wound. The shaper may be carried on a slotted arm formed with the top cradle, one of the fastening- studs being also secured to the rack, or it may be made in two parts, pivoted together on the rack, and secured adjustably on a slotted tail-piece formed at the end of the rack, whereby the degree of taper can be regulated without changing the shaper or the gearing.
