PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of Attaching Metallic Plates to Tubes,
Wires, or Rods.
1, HARRY HERBERT TYE, of Legge Lane, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Brassfounder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The ordinary method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods is by
the process of soldering, brazing or screwing. My improved method consists in
firmly attaching a metallic plate or plates to one or both ends of a piece of tube,
wire or rod without soldering, brazing or screwing.
In attaching a metallic plate or plates to one or both ends of a piece of tube,
wire or rod according to my invention, 1 cut out of sheet brass or other metal or
alloy blanks of any suitable shape and about double the size required for the
finished plates, I then pierce a slot hole in or near the centre of each blank, then
by means of dies or tools operated in a press or stamp the said blanks are bent or
doubled over leaving the hereinbefore described slot holes on the outer edge of the
hereinbefore described blanks which now form the plates for attaching to tubes,
wires or rods I then take the pieces of tube, wire or rod to which I desire to
attach the metallic plates and pass one end of each piece of tube, wire or rod a
short distance through the slot hole in each metallic plate, or if desired to attach
a metallic plate to both ends of each piece of tube, wire or rod; each end of each
piece of tube, wire or rod is passed a short distance through the slot hole in a
metallic plate hereinbefore described.
A smart blow is now given to each metallic plate by means of dies or tools
operated in a press or stamp, and by this means the metallic plates are firmly
attached to the tubes, wires or rods, and the plates, tubes, wires or rods are then
bent or formed into the various articles desired.
Instead of passing the tubes, wires or rods a short distance through the metallic
plates the tubes, wires or rods may be passed quite through the metallic plates and
the metallic plates securely attached in any desired position on the tubes, wires or
rods by same means as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Method of Attaching Metallic, Plates, to Tubes,..
Wires, or Rods.
I, HARRY HERBERT TYE, of Albion Works, Legge Lane, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, Brassfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The ordinary method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods, is by
the process of soldering, brazing or screwing.
My improved method consists in firmly attaching a metallic plate or plates to
one or both ends of a piece of tube, wire or rod without soldering, brazing or
screwing.
In attaching a metallic plate or plates to one or both ends of a piece of tube,
wire or rod according to my invention, I cut out of sheet brass or other metal or
alloy, blanks of any suitable shape and about double the size required for the

page_text: finished plates, I then pierce a slot hole in or near the centre of each blank, then
by means of dies or tools operated in a press or stamp the said blanks are bent or
doubled over leaving the hereinbefore described slot holes on the outer edge of the
hereinbefore described blanks which now form the plates for attaching to tubes,
wires or rods; I then take the pieces of tube, wire or rod to which I desire to
attach the metallic plates and pass one end of each piece of tube, wire or rod a
short distance through the slot hole in each metallic plate, or if desired to attach
a metallic plate to both ends of a piece of tube, wire or rod, each end of each
piece of tube, wire or rod is passed a short distance through the slot hole in a
metallic plate hereinbefore described.
A smart blow is now given to each metallic plate by means of dies or tools
operated in a press or stamp and by this means the metallic plates are firmly
attached to the tubes, wires or rods, and the tubes, wires or rods are then bent or
formed into the various articles desired.
Instead of passing the tubes, wires or rods a short distance through the metallic
plates, the tubes, wires or rods may be passed quite through the metallic plates and
the metallic plates securely attached in any desired position on the tubes, wires or
rods by same means as herein before described.
I do not confine myself to the shape of the metallic plates and a fancy design may
be given at one and the same process as they are attached to the tubes, wires or
rods or by a separate process.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents the blank of brass, or other
metal or alloy with a slot hole a pierced.
Figure 2 represents in front elevation and Figure 3 represents in side elevation
the blank bent or doubled over, leaving the slot hole a on the outer edge.
Figure 4 represents in front elevation and Figure 5 represents in side elevation
the tube, wire or rod passed a short distance through the slot hole.
Figure 6 represents the tube, wire or rod 6 passed quite through the metallic
plate.
Figure 7 represents the metallic plate firmly attached to the tube, wire or rod b
and with countersunk holes c for attaching screws.
Figure 8 represents a metallic plate firmly attached to each end of the tube,
wire or rod b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:
"Improvements in the method of attaching metallic plates to tubes, wires or rods."
First. Doubling over the metallic blanks with slot holes substantially as
hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying
drawings.
Secondly Placing one or both ends of the tube, wire or rod a short distance or
right through the metallic plate or plates and by a smart blow given to each
metallic plate by means of dies or tools operated in a press or stamp and thereby
firmly fixing the metallic plate or plates to the tubes, wires or rods substantially as
herein before described and illustrated in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the accom-
panying drawings.
Dated this Twenty-seventh day of April 1891.
