PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Mode and Means for Making the Junctions
of Tubing with their Sockets.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR of 1 Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Stamper and piercer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the mode and means for making
the junctions of tubing with their sockets which is applicable to such like purposes as
cycle and motor car and other frames by which braizing and soldering may be
dispensed with thus leaving the nature of the tube uninjured.
In making my new junction I forin the sockets internally with one or more circular
depressions or hollows which may either be bored into the solid metal or the socket
may be bulged out externally in making the said grooves or hollows. The tube is
also made at the end which enters the socket with circular depressions or hollows
which exactly agree with the one or ones in the socket. I also form a hole externally
on each of the bulges of the socket and depress the opening on one side of the hole
so that a piece or ring of wire may be inserted and pushed round the groove so as to
fill it and the last end of this wire may be locked in the groove by a cross pin or pins
behind the end or by closing the side of the hole behind it. In other cases I run
molten metal such for instance as lead, tin, iron etc. to fill up the hollows and to lock
the tubes in position and the socket may be afterwards closed upon such rings whether
cast or wire to make the joint tight. The hollows may be cut, rolled, cast or otherwise
formed in the tubes.and in the sockets. In some cases the external bulges and
internal depressions may only extend rather less than half the diameter and a ferrule
may be put over the outside with a depression or projection internal which will pass
the plain portion of the socket and then may be turned so that its projection whether
a wire or slit finger may slide into the space and so lock the two together. In other
cases the internal depressions in the tube and corresponding enlargements in the
socket may be spiral and a spiral wire threaded therein and the end of the spiral
groove may be reversed or turned out of its course to lock the wire.

page_text: My invention has for its object improvements in the mode and means for making
the junctions of tubing with their sockets which is applicable to such like purposes as
cycle and motor car, and other frames by which brazing and soldering may be
dispensed with thus leaving the nature of the tube uninjured.
In making my new junction I form the sockets internally with one or more circular
depressions or hollows, which may either be bored into the solid metal or the socket
may be bulged out externally in making the said grooves or hollows. The tube is
also made at the end which enters the socket with circular depressions or hollows
which exactly agree, with the one or ones in the socket. I also form a hole externally
on each of the bulges of the socket and depress the opening on one side of the hole so
that a piece or ring of wire may be inserted and pushed round the groove so as to fill
it, and the last end of this wire may be locked in the groove by a cross pin or pin
behind the end or by closing the side of the hole behind it. In other cases I run
molten metal, such for instance as lead, tin, wire &c. to fill up the hollows and to lock
the tubes in position, and the socket may be afterwards closed upon such: rings
whether cast or wire to make the joint tight. The hollows may be cut, rolled, cast or
otherwise formed in the tubes and in the sockets. In some cases the external bulges
and internal depressions may only extend rather less than half the diameter and a
ferrule may be put over the outside, with a depression or projection internal which will
pass the plain portion of the socket and then may be turned so that its projection
whether a wire or slit finger may slide into the space and so lock the two together.
In other cases the internal depressions in the tube and corresponding enlargements in
the socket may be spiral and a spiral wire threaded therein and the end of the spiral
groove may be reversed or turned out of its course to lock the wire.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have illustrated several examples of my mode of making the junction of tubes
with their sockets.
Figure 1 shews my method of joining the tube T with the socket or junction S by
forming the internal circular depressions or hollows a' in the solid metal of the socket
and the corresponding external depressions or hollows on the end of the tube which
fits into the socket, I also form the hole s externally on each of the internal hollows
or grooves 8 and depress one side of this hole so that one end of the piece of wire w
may be inserted and pushed around the groove thus filling up the depression in the
socket and the depression in the tube as shewn at Figure 2, the other end of this wire
Inay be secured by a cross pin or by closing the other other side of the hole behind it or
in any other manner. In some cases the hole & may be drilled through the tube and
then the wire inserted so that by turning the tube or the socket the wire will be
drawn into the groove. The grooves or depressions & and inay be cut rolled cast
t¹
or otherwise formed in the sockets and in the tubes. Instead of securing the tubes in
their sockets by inserting wire into the grooves I may in.some cases run molten metal
into such grooves such for instance, as lead, tin iron &c. to fill up the hollows and lock
the tubes in position.
At Figure 3 I have shewn a modification of my method of joining tubes with their
sockets in this case instead of inserting wire in the grooves I insert flat strips of steel
or other suitable metal and form the grooves 2 and 3 square in cross section.
In the methods as shewn at Figures 4 and 5 I bulge the grooves & and then secure
the tube therein in the manner as hereinbefore described. At Figure 6 I have shewn
another method of joining the tube to its socket. In this case I form the internal
grooves & in the socket and the corresponding external grooves in the end of the tube
spiral, and afterwards insert the spiral wire w¹ (see Figure 7) into these grooves.
The end 8 of the spiral groove may be reversed or turned out of its course so as to lock
or hold the wire in position.
In some cases the grooves d and d¹ in the socket and in the tube may extend rather
less than half the diameter as shewn in section at Figure 8 I then place the ferrule F
over the exterior of the socket which ferrule has two tongues f¹ and f* either formed
out of the solid ring as shewn at Figure 9 or fixed thereto. The loose end of the

page_text: tongue enters the hole in the socket and the tongue fa enters the hole f* and by
turning this ferrule these tongues slide in the grooves thus filling up the spaces and
firmly locking the tube in its socket. In order to facilitate the turning of the ferrule
it may be formed hexagon on part of the exterior as shewn at Figure 10.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said 'invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
.CLAIMS:
First Securing tubes in their sockets by forming grooves such as 8 8 8 or their
equivalents in the interior of the socket and corresponding grooves or their equivalent
in the end of the tube and threading a wire through a hole so as to fill up such grooves
or recesses in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and as shown upon
the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Second Securing tubes in their sockets by forming grooves such as 8³ or their
equivalents whether formed out of the solid or bulged out externally or whether spiral
or straight in the interior of the socket and corresponding grooves or recesses in the
end of the tube and threading a strip of steel or other metal through a hole so as to
fill up such grooves or recesses in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described
and as shown upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Third Securing tubes in their sockets by forming grooves such as d and dor
their equivalents in the interior of the socket and corresponding grooves or recesses
in the end of the tube and placing over the exterior of such socket a ferrule such as
For F provided with tongues such as fand for their equivalents which tongues
are inserted into the holes such as fand f and by turning the ferrule fill up or enter
the grooves or recesses in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and
as shewn upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Fourth-The improvements in the mode and means for making the junctions of
tubing with their sockets substantially as herein set forth and as shown upon the
accompanying sheet of drawings.
