Granted: 1901-01-12
Abstract: 3851. Swain Patents Syndicate and Swain, W. Feb. 28. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to the manufacture of the canvas parts of pneumatic tyres described in Specification No. 5430, A.D. 1898, in which one of the layers forming the tyre is composed of rubber-coated circumferential threads a as shown in Fig. 1. Figs. 2 and 4 show in elevation and plan respectively one form of machine for winding on these threads. The thread a<2> pasies through a guide e<2> to a shaped mandrel c, which ii held on a rotating table c<1> by means of spring-controlled radial bars h secured in position by a movable cam h<3>. The table is rotated from the shaft d', which also, through the shaft e<5>, cam e', rod e<3>, and spring-pressed lever e pivoted at e<1>, moves the guide e<2> slowly across the periphery of the mandrel. The thread is pressed on to the mandrel by a roller f, to which a motion corresponding to that of the guide e<2> is transmitted from the shaft e<5> through the rods f<3>, f<2> and lever f<6>, which is spring-pressed ag ainst the cam f <8>. When the winding is complete the roller g<1> raises one end of the pivoted bar g, which'releases a catch and allows the spring e<10> to move the belt from the fast to the loose pulley d<4>. In a modification, the guide and roller are carried in a spring-pressed arm which, by means similar to those above-described, is slowly moved across a cam shaped similarly to the cross-section of the mandrel. Movable bearings and a slot allow mandrels of different sizes to be employed. In the form shown in elevation in Fig. 8, the mandrel c is supported between rollers o, o<1>, o<2>, o<3>, one of which rotates it. The thread may be fed on either by the means above-described or by band, guides t<1> and pressing-rollers p<4> being employed. The upper parts of the frame may be pivoted to the lower shafts o<4> to allow removal of the mandrel. Fig. 10 shows in sectional elevation a form in which the mandrel c<5> is secured to a fixed horizontal table c<6> and the thread a<2> is fed through a guide q carried on a rotating arm r. The guide and pressing-roller are moved slowly across the periphery of the mandrel, preferably by means of the levers s<2>, s', nut r<2> and screw r<3> on the shaft r<1>. The threads may be replaced by strips of leather, metal, or the like for strong tyres.

Fig. 1 shows a carbon rod a enclosed in a porcelain tube b, the current being supplied through the conductors e, annular clips d, and carbon collars c. Several such resistances coupled in parallel or series may be employed in heating, say, a glass furnace, the porcelain tube preventing contact between the glass and the carbon resistance. Casings filled with pounded, flaky, or granular carbon (coke, charcoal, or graphite) may also be used. The metallic conductors to the resistance may be water-cooled. Fig. 5 shows a section of a vessel comprising an inner wall b and an outer wall b<1>, with intermediate portions b<2> separating the chambers a which receive the carbon resistances. The chambers are spaced unequally to produce a higher temperature at one part than at another. Fig. 4 shows a crucible b heated by a carbon resistance a surrounding it, and Fig. 6 shows a crucible heated by suspending the heating-body a within it. The current may also pass from end to end of a box or trough containing the granular carbon. Fig. 9 shows a pot or crucible furnace for glass-making, and Fig. 12 shows a melting or heating furnace of large dimensions, d denoting the conductors and a the carbon mass in each case. Fig. 16 shows a heating conduit for progressive drying, calcining, &c. Mixtures of clay and graphite &c. may be used instead of granular carbon. Among the purposes to which the invention may be applied are the heating of rooms and of cooking-apparatus, distilling-retorts, apparatus for vaporizing liquids, &c.
