PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Machines for Winding Wire upon
Flexible Hose and other Articles.
I, FREDERICK MARTEN Hale, of The Sphincter Grip Armoured Hose Company,
Limited, 63 Fore Street, County of London, Socretary, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain detail improvements connected with machines for
winding wire upon flexible hose and other articles, the main object being to put
a reverse bend upon the wire during its passage from the spool or reel to upset the
molecules and then to reset them again in a fixed position when the wire is placed
around the hose.
For the purpose of said invention, I form on one arm of a pulley, a bearing for the
attachment of an axle, on which is mounted a spool or reel with the wire for covering
a hose. The hose passes through the boss of the pulley which is of sufficient breadth
for running in a bearing on a bench or stand, the pulley overlapping for free running
or working in front thereof.
In connection with the boss of the pulley is a small guide rollor for leading the
wire from the spool or reel to the hose through a die provided with spiral grooves, so
that the wire is laid in regular order.
The die and the guide roller are adjustable by slots and pinch bolts and removable
when desired, and the degree of adjustments determines the closeness or hug of the
wire put on the hose or of its looseness thereon.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Machines for Winding Wire upon
Flexible Hose and other Articles.
I, FREDERICK MARTEN HALE, of The Sphincter Grip Armoured Hose Company,
Limited, 9 Moorfields, City of London, Secretary, 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
This invention relates to certain detail improvements connected with machines for
winding wire upon flexible hose and other articles, the main object being to put a
reverse bend upon the wire during its passage from the spool or reel to upset tho
molecules and then to reset them again in a fixed position when the wire is placed
around the hose.
For the purpose of said invention and such as I show on the annexed drawings,
Figures 1 and 2, I form on one arm A of a pulley B a bearing for the attachment of
an axle C on which is mounted a spool or reel D with the wire for covering a hose.
The hose E passes through the boss F of the pulley B, which is of sufficient breadth
for running in a bearing G on a bench or stand H, the pulley overlapping the front
of the bench for free running or working in front thereof.
In connection with the boss F of the pulley B, is a small guide roller I, see enlarged
views, Figures 3, 4 and 5, for leading the wire from the spool or reel D to the hose E
through a die J provided with spiral grooves, so that the wire is laid on in
regular order.

The die J and the guide roller I are adjustable by slots K and pinch bolts and

page_text: removable when desired and the degree of adjustments determines the closeness or
hug of the wire put on the hose, or of its looseness thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
--
1. As means for carrying and winding wire upon flexible hose as a part covering
thereon, the appliances hereinbefore described as attachments to a revolving pulley.
2. The combination of appliances as described and shown on the drawings con-
stituting a hose wiring machine attached to a single pulley and supported by a single
bearing, as set forth.
