Improvements in the Mode and Means for making the Junctions of
and Fender
Cycle, Motor Car and other Frames, Bedstead
Junctions, and other purposes.
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 cycle, motor car and other frames, bedstead and fender junctions
and other purposes so as to avoid brazing.
In carrying my invention into practice I make the junctions of tubes or members
of framing or tubes and solid bodies or solid bodies with their lugs or sockets by
forming in the socket or in the end of the tube or other member which fits into the
socket or junction piece a flat recessed part into which place a ring of fusible
metal which will melt at a temperature, say from 200 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit,
such for instance as tin. Either the spigot or socket may carry the recess or both
of them. The parts before being connected together may be tinned or gulvanised
or coated with a metal or other alloy and the ring is then sprung into the groove or

parts are put accurately together by friction or fairly tightly they are heated to a
sufficient temperature to melt the ring or rings and by this means the ring or rings
become incorporated or fast with the spigot or socket so that the joint is firmly
made and will not come apart. Or the fusible rings may be melted by electricity.
Instead of flat strips I may use fusible wire drawn in through an opening in the
socket or junction piece and the recess may be spiral on each side so that the joint
is made by a coil of fusible metal. In some cases I may use two or more sections of
a ring or a split ring which when melted fuse together and also to the socket and
spigot. The hollows may be formed in the end of the spigot and at the back of the
socket and a ring of metal melted therein. This mode of making junctions is also
applicable to wood or cane frames in which case the rings would be made of very
fusible metal. The spigots may be tapered as well as the sockets or junction pieces
when desired.

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
and in what manner the saine is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in the mode and means for making
the junctions of cycle, motor car, and other frames, bedstead and fender junctions
and other purposes so as to avoid brazing.
In carrying my invention into practice I make the junctions of tubes or members
of framing or tubes, and solid bodies or solid bodies with their lugs or sockets by
forming in the socket and in the end of the tube or other member which fits into the
socket or junction piece a flat recessed part into which I place a ring of fusible
metal which will melt at a temperature say-from 200 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit
such for instance as tin. Both the spigot and socket carry the recess.
The parts
before being connected together may be tinned or galvanised or coated with a metal
or other alloy and the rings are then sprung into the grooves. When the parts are
put accurately together by friction or fairly tightly they are heated to a sufficient
temperature to melt the rings and by this means the rings become incorporated
together and fast with the spigot or socket so that the joint is firmly made and will
not come apart. Or the fusible rings may he melted by electricity. In some cases
may use two or more sections of a ring or a split ring which wben melted fuse
together and also to the socket and spigot. The hollows may be formed in the end
of the spigot and at the back of the socket and a ring ef metal melted therein. This
mode of making junctions is also applicable to wood or cane frames in which case the
rings would be made of very fusible metal. The spigots may be tapered as well as
the sockets or junction pieces when desired.
I
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practical effect I have appended hereunto drawings illustrating examples of the
application of my invention to several junctions and articles which will be
sufficient to enable others to apply the principal more widely to the various
circumstances met with in practice. The junction pieces and tubes may be of other
sections instead of round.
Figure 1 is a cross socket junction piece A with the tubes T applied and united
thereto according to my invention.
Figure 3 is another example of a tube T joined to the socket A.
Figure 6 shows a filling in or sealing ring for placing upon the end of a tube
and Figure 7 is a ring ¹ for placing in a socket and Figure 8 is a cross section
through the rings k¹ and k².
'
Figure 9 is an example of, how various articles such for instance glass or
earthenware metal or other stands &¹ may be united to their bases or foot or feet S by
means of the double ring k¹, k².
"'
In making my new junctions I turn or form in the interior of the socket A a
recessed part or parts that is one two or more of such recesses. The end of the
tube is also recessed with one or more corresponding recesses t¹ which when the
tube is thin is or are made by pressing portions of the tube inwards as shown so as
to retain the full thickness or nearly the full thickness of the tube at the recessed
parts. I then put into the recess in the tube Ta ring such as 2 which is of
suitable thickness to fill up the recess without projecting and if necessary the ends

of the socket I place in a ring such as k¹. Or instead of the ring or rings being
loose in the recesses in the tube and socket they may be fixed. Or the ring or rings
may be formed without a joint and either cast into the groove or grooves or forced
in by pressure. Or the rings and 2 may be formed of a number of coils instead
of a single coil. When this is done the tube T is placed in the socket A until the
rings are opposite to each other as seen at Figures 1, 3 and 9 when a sufficient heat
is applied to the junction to melt the easily fusible rings k¹, 2 so that the two
rings and become practically one ring and shrink tightly upon the tube T
sealing it into the socket and filling in any space near to the same thus producing
a tight junction of the tube T with the socket A.
Figure 3 only differs from Figure 1 in regard to the cross sectional shape
of the rings and 2 as will be obvious that the cross section may be greatly
varied.
The
The melting of the rings may be effected by the application of heat externally
or internally or by placing the article or frame in a stove for the purpose.
junction at Figure 9 is made in the same manner as the foregoing and may be applied
to a large variety of articles such as joining glass, earthenware wood &c. stands to
metal or other bases.
The fusing point of the metal or alloy from which the rings are made is composed
to suit the material for which the junction is being made, for instance in uniting
wood or glass the fusing point would probably range between 100 and 400 Fah.;
but for the junctions of brass mounts for bedsteads fenders &c. the fusing point
might be higher and for steel and iron higher still. But I always prefer to use a
ring that will fuse before any injury is done to the parts composing the junction,
as my invention is for the special object of doing away with brazing which is
very injurious to steel tubes which are often over heated during the brazing
process.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
CLAIMS.
First The improvements in the mode and means for making the junctions
of cycle, motor car frames, bedsteads and fender and other junctions by means
of an enlargement or recess in the socket and tube and filling the same up with
rings of fusible metal which are afterwards fused at a temperature sufficiently
low not to injure the parts of the junction being united substantially as herein set
forth and as shown upon the drawings.
Second-In junctions which are the subject of the first claim grooving the
socket and tube or other part as shown at Figures 1, 3, 6, 78 and 9, and placing
in each a fusible ring or rings such as k¹ and then bring the two parts together
as seen when heat is applied and the two parts fused together and upon the
tube and in the recesses substantially as herein set forth and shown.
