An Improvement in Draw Benches..
We, ELMORE'S GERMAN AND AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN METAI. COMPANY.
LIMITED, of Broad Street Avenue in the City of London, do hereby declare the
nature of this.invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to means of supporting a tube, while it is being drawn
through the die of a draw bench, in correct line with the die. For this purpose
about 2 feet above the draw bench is fixed a rail parallel to the bench, and on this
rail there are arranged to run several carriages in which are fitted vortical screws
carrying at, their lower ends. loops of wire or hooks in which the tube rests. By
turning the screws in the one direction or the other the tube can be raised or
lowered, so as to be adjusted accurately in line with the die. As the tubo.
advances through the die the carriages and hangers advance with it. The draw
bench is preferably made double so that two parallel tubes can be drawn. In this
case two parallel rails are provided each having on it carriages. These rails are
preferably fixed on the opposite ends of crossheads carried on supports which extend
up from the middle of the bench between the two tubes.

We, ELMORE'S GERMAN AND AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN METAL COMPANY

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 :—
This invention relates to means of supporting a tube, while it is being drawn
through the die of a draw bench, in correct line with the die. For this purpose
about 2 feet above the draw bench is fixed a rail parallel to the bench, and on this
rail there are arranged to run several carriages in which are. fitted vertical screws
carrying at their lower ends loops of wire or hooks in which the tube rests. By
turning the screws in the one direction or the other the tube can be raised or
lowered, so as to be adjusted accurately in line with the die. As the tube advances
through the die the carriages and hangers advance with it. The draw bench is
preferably made double so that two parallel tubes can be drawn. In this case two
parallel rails are provided each-having on it carriages. These rails are preferably
fixed on the opposite ends of orosshoads carried on supports which extend up from
the middle of the bench between the two tubes.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a part side view and Fig. 2 is a part
plan of a double draw bench according to this invention, Fig. 3 is an end view and
Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line X X of Figs. 1 and 2.

page_text: On an end frame A and on crossheads B arranged at intervals along the draw
bench, are fixed two girder rails R on which run several carriages C, each carriage
having wheels below as well as above the rail.
On the outer side of cach carriage there are eyes through which passes &
vertically sliding bolt D, its lower part being bent to form a hook E and its upper
part being screw threaded to receive a nut F.
On the hooks E aro hung loops of wire G or other hanger by which are
suspended the tubes H. The rails R being parallel to the bench, on turning the
nuts in the one direction or the other, each of the tubes HI can be accurately
adjusted so as to have its axis in line with the centro of the dio through which it is
drawn in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we'
claim is:-
1. In combination with a draw bench, a rail supported above and parallel to it,
carriages thereon provided with vertically sliding hook bolts and hangers adapted
to carry a tube, and adjusting nuts upon the hook bolts, substantially astand for
the purpose set forth.
2. In combination with a double draw bench a pair of rails supported on cross-
heads above and parallel to the bench, carriages thereou provided with vertically
sliding book bolts and hangers adapted to carry tubes and adjusting nuts upon the
hook bolts, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
