page_text: The decision of the Comptroller-General, of the 8th December 1892, and
14th day of March 1893, allowed, under Section 18 of the Patents, &c.
Act, 1883, an Amendment of this Specification.
Date of Application, 29th Sept., 1886
Complete Specification Left, 13th Jan., 1887-Accepted, 15th Feb., 1887
Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Vessels suitable for
Containing Gases and Volatile Liquids under Pressure and for
other Useful Purposes.
We HOWARD LANE, of 115 and 116 Palmerston Buildings, Old Broad Street, in
the City of London, Engineer, and RICHARD HOBBS TAUNTON, of Heneage street,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
our said invention to be as follows:-
Whereas metallic vessels for containing gases and volatile liquids under pressure
are usually made from metal tubes, having longitudinal seams or welds; and the ends
and necks have also been usually fixed by means of welding or brazing.
Now the object of our invention is to manufacture such vessels without any seams,
welds, or joints.
In carrying out our invention we form the articles above mentioned from metal
discs or plates, and manipulate the same by drawing, rolling, pressing and spinning;
varying the operations according to the form and character of the vessel to be
manufactured.
By the use of our invention increased strength, safety, lightness, simplicity, and
freedom from leakage are secured.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Metallic Vessels suitable for
Containing Gases and Volatile Liquids under Pressure and for
other Useful Purposes.
We, HOWARD LANE, of 115 and 116 Palmerston Buildings, Old Broad Street, in
the City of London, Engineer, and RICHARD HOBBS TAUNTON, of Heneage Street,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Whereas metallic vessels for containing gases and volatile liquids under pressure
are usually made from metal tubes, having longitudinal seams or welds; and the ends
and necks have also been usually fixed by means of welding or brazing such ends or
necks on to the body.
Now the object of our invention is to manufacture such vessels of bottle shaped form
without any such seams, welds, or joints.
In carrying out our invention we form the articles above mentioned from metal
discs or plates, and manipulate the same by drawing, rolling, and pressing and
spinning; varying the operations according to the form and character of the vessel to
te manufactured.
By the use of our invention increased strength, safety, lightness, simplicity, and
freedom from leakage are secured.
And in order that our said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, which are only intended to
illustrate the method of manufacturing one form of vessel.
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a disc of metal, prepared for undergoing our process.
Fig. 2 shews the same formed into a shallow cup carried to a further stage of the
process, Figs. 3 and 4 shewing further developments, and Fig. 5 is a section of the
finished article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
The manufacture and use of solid drawn, seamless, metallic vessels bottles, for the
purposes aforesaid, by drawing, rolling, pressing, spinning and otherwise manipulating
and pressing the same from metal discs or plates, substantially as herein before described
and illustrated on the drawings.
