Patent GB-190411731-A (GB)
Title: Improved Manufacture of Wire, Tubes, Bars and the like.
Inventor: FRANK SALOMON
Filed: 1904-05-21
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 11,731. Frank, S. May 21. Squirting.-Pipes and tubes, rods and bars, sockets, &c. are made of metals of medium hardness by squirting. The block a, Fig. 1, which is previously bored when pipes and tubes are being made, is held in a cylinder b and pressed by a piston e against a convex die d. The piston has a projecting portion e' which fits in the hole in the block and determines the internal diameter of the tube. The metal is pressed out between the die d and the piston e<1> and the edges of the die are made conical to lessen friction. For rods, the projection e<1> is removed and the die made of suitable shape for the section required. For sockets, Fig. 3, the metal is pressed out in the opposite direction to the motion of the piston. The latter has a convex surface and the sides are cut away to lessen friction. Lined tubes can be made from a block a, Fig. 4, consisting of concentric cylinders of different metals. At first, the tube thus squirted will have a section only of the internal metal, but after a time the tube will be made up of the two metals. Owing to the great pressures necessitated in the process, the cylinder is built up of concentric steel rings.
