Improvements in Sanitary Pipe Macumes.
We, JOSEPH STALEY, of Albert Village, Church Gresley, in the County of
Derby, Manager of Sanitary Pipe Works, and JOSEPH PARKER, of Moira, in the
County of Leicester, Engine-wright, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to certain improvements in sanitary pipe machines
whereby pipes of a sharp bend or radius (such as traps and interceptors) and of a
double or syphon bend may be formed by mechanical means as the clay or other
composition passes through the die, and whereby said bend pipes may be made
or taken away from either side of the machine.
وو
In carrying out our invention we arrange two slides one on each side of the
centre the clay passes to the die
match-piece" between which and the
immediately below; these slides pass through suitable stuffing boxes, are con-
nected to each other, and operated by means of a lever, screw, or their equivalent:
they are arranged so that as one passes into the space between the "match-piece "
and centre the other passes out at the opposite side.
"2
Assuming the slide to be up to the centre on the near side the passage of the
clay to the die is thus partly obstructed and more clay coming down the opposite
side, a bend is formed passing out at the die on the near side; upon reversing
the slide and bringing the further one to the centre, the bend is reversed and
sc a double or syphon bend is formed.
The socket is formed in the usual way and the pipe is cut off by means of a
wire or its equivalent.
The parts of the slides and connections are formed so that they may readily
be removed from the machine, the latter then being used as an ordinary pipe
machine.
Although our invention is herein described as applied to a vertical machine it
will be understood that we may apply it to a horizontal machine if desired.

scribed and ascertained in and by the following statement
Our invention relates to ceriain improvements in sanitary pipe machines
whereby pipes of a sharp bend or radius (such as traps and interceptors) and of a
double or syphon bend may be formed by mechanical means as the clay or other
composition passes through the die, and whereby said bend pipes may be made
or taken away from either side of the machine.
In describing our invention reference will be had to the accompanying sheet
of drawings, upon which Figure 1 is a plan upon line a a of Figure 2 taken
immediately above the die of a sanitary pipe machine (as will be hereinafter
explained) shewing the application of our invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of same on line 66 of Figure 1.
In carrying out our invention we arrange two slides A A¹ one on each side
of the "match-piece B" between which and the centre C" the clay passes in the
direction of the arrows to the die immediately below: these slides A A¹ pass
through suitable stuffing boxes D), are connected to each other by the piece A³,
and operated by means of a lever E, screw, or their equivalent: they are ar-
ranged so that as one passes into the space F between the " match-piece" and
centre" the other passes out at the opposite side.
Assuming the slide A to be up to the centre on the right hand side, the passage
of the clay to the die is thus partly obstructed and more clay coming down the
opposite side, a bend is formed passing out at the die on the right hand side;
upon reversing the slide and bringing the further one to the centre, the bend is
reversed and so a double or syphon bend is formed.
The socket is formed in the usual way and the pipe is cut off by means of a
wire or its equivalent.
The parts of the slides and connections are formed so that they may readily
be removed from the machine, the latter then being used as an ordinary pipe
machine.
Although our invention is herein described as applied to a vertical machine it
will be understood that we may apply it to a horizontal machine if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
In a sanitary pipe machine the improved device consisting of slides A A¹
passing through suitable stuffing boxes or their equivalent above the die and
operated by any suitable means and adapted to obstruct the passage of the clay
or the like on one side or the other before reaching the die, substantially as and
for the purposes described and illustrated.
