Abstract: 16,923. Lake, H. H., [General Electric Co.]. July 30. Incandescent lamps.- The glass pillars or stems in which are sealed the leading-in wires supporting the filaments are made from tubular flares by means of a machine shown in plan in Fig. 2, containing two sets of blowpipes 5 on stands 2, 2<a>, directed towards the pincers 35. On the stand 2 is mounted a rectangular rotary frame F having at its corners grips 15, which hold the glass flares or stems and the wires and bring them in succession under the action of the preliminary heating burner 45 and the blowpipes 5. The glass flare is placed in the grips 15 by an operator standing near the pincers 35, and the frame F is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction so as to carry the flare to an assistant, who puts in the leading-in wires and trues up the anchor wire. At the same time, the flare which has been softening in the flame of the burner 45 is carried into the blowpipe flames, and while it is softening there the operator places another flare and anchor wire in the head on his right hand. While he is doing this, the flare in the blowpipe flame becomes soft, and is then squeezed by the pincers 35, which are mounted on the upper end of an arm pivoted to the base of the machine. The seal is thus finished, and the operator removes it from the head, inserting in its place another flare and anchor wire. The frame F is arrested in suitable positions by a spring stop 39. The grips 15 consist each of two parts pivoted at 16 on a base 14 and pressed together by a spring, and are opened by pins on the jaws working in slots in the handles 17. The bases 14 are each mounted on pillars 12, 12<a>, Fig. 3, on arms a on a sleeves, which is rotated in the frame F by chain-wheels 13, 13<a>, 13<b>, 13<c>, Fig. 2. The chain c is kept taut by an idle wheel 11 and a spring 10. The glass flare f, Fig. 3, and the leading-in wires l are supported by the wedgeshaped projection 21 on an arm 44, which rests on a rod 24 provided with a recess for receiving the anchor wire 25. The wheels 13 are connected to the sleeves s each by a pin 29 on a spring lever 28, and each is disconnected by the lever 28 striking the removable stop 33, Fig. 2, or the fixed stops 33<a>, 33<b>, on the frame of the machine.
