Improvements in and relating to the Soldering and Brazing of
Joints, Seams, and the like.
I, JAMES SIMPSON, 4, Roebuck Lane, West Bromwich, Manager, in the County of
Staffordshire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the soldering and brazing of joints and seams of steel, iron,
tin, metallic alloys and the like, and comprises certain improvements in the means
whereby a regular and uniform unition in and throughout the part or parts to be
united may be accomplished in an expeditious and reliable manner.
I apply my
invention more particularly to the unition of the longitudinal joints or seams of rims
for cycles, motor-cars, vehicles and the like; where such seams or joints are made
In
with turned, beaded or folded edges, and known as hollow or tubular edged rims.
brazing or soldering such joints or seams, I apply the fusible metal, metallic alloy or
the like, which creates the unition of the edges, faces, or the surfaces to be joined
together in the following manner. I use the aforesaid brazing or soldering material
in the form of a wire, strip, rod or the like in round, square, oval, hexagon or other
suitable section, and of any thickness, gauge or length required. I insert the
aforesaid wire, rod, strip or the like, on, adjacent to, between or inside the aforesaid
turned, beaded, or otherwise disposed edges, faces, or surfaces.
To graphically describe an instance of its use, I will take a cycle rim, of the beaded
or tubular edged type. I push the aforesaid wire or strip internally along each of
the beaded edges; before doing so I may coat such wire or strip with an adhesive
flux; if I do not so use the flux, I may apply it internally or externally in or about
the seam or joint to be united. After the insertion or application of the aforesaid
wire or wires, I secure them at the ends, and expose the rim to a suitable heat to
melt the aforesaid fusible material which thereupon runs into and forms unition
between the edges, faces or surfaces to be joined together.
By employing this method I find that the operation of soldering or brazing is
greatly facilitated, and a regular, uniform and certain deposit of the uniting material
insured in and throughout the parts to be united.

I, JAMES SIMPSON, of 7, Peel Buildings, Temple Street, Birmingham, 52, Spring
Road, Edgbaston, in the County of Warwickshire, late of 4, Roebuck Lane, West
Bromwich, Staffordshire, Foundry Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this

page_text: invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention, relates to the soldering, and brazing of joints and seams of steel,
iron, tin, metallic alloys, and the like, and comprises, certain improvements, in the
means, whereby a regular, and uniform unition, in and throughout the part, or parts,
to be united, may be accomplished in an expeditious and reliable manner.
I apply hy invention, more particularly, to the unition of the longitudinal joints,
and seams, of rims for cycles, motor cars, vehicles, and the like where, such seams, or
joints, are made with turned, beaded, or folded edges, and known as. hollow, or
tubular, edged rims.
In brazing, or soldering, such joints, or seams, I apply the fusible metal, metallic
alloy, or the like, which creates the unition of the edges, faces, or surfaces to be
joined together, in the following manner. I use the aforesaid, brazing, or soldering
material, in the form of a wire, strip, rod, or the like, in round, square, oval, hexagon,
or other suitable section and of any thickness, gauge, or length required I, insert the
aforesaid wire, strip, rod, or the like, on, adjacent to, between, or inside the aforesaid
turned, beaded, or otherwise disposed, edges, faces, or surfaces. Referring to
accompanying drawing & to graphically describe, an instance of its use, I will take
a cycle rim, (c) of the beaded, or, tubular edged type, I push the aforesaid, wire, (a)
or strip, internally, along each of the beaded edges (b) before doing so, I may coat,
such wire, or strip, with an adhesive flux, if, I do not so use the flux I may apply it,
internally, or, externally in, or, about, the seams, or joints to be united.
After the insertion or application of the aforesaid wire, or wires, I secure them at
the ends, and expose the rim to a suitable heat to melt the aforesaid fusible material,
which thereupon runs into, and forms unition between the edges, faces, or surfaces,
to he joined together. By employing this method, I find that the operations of
soldering or brazing is greatly facilitated; and a regular, uniform, and certain
deposit, of the uniting material ensured in, and throughout the parts to be
united.
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
(1). In forming unition of metallic surfaces, or edges, by, brazing, soldering, and
the like the employment of a metallic strip, wire, or rod, or the like, applied along,
adjacent to, or over, the surfaces, or edges to be united, and in that position melted,
or fused, thereby securing uniformity of the uniting medium.
(2) The joining of metallic edges or surfaces substantially, as described in the
foregoing Specification.
