PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Ornamental Tubing.
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 manufacture of ornamental
tubing and it has particular reference to such tubes as those shown in my Specifi-
cation No. 7086 A.D. 1890 which however may be varied to a very large extent
as regards their formation and ornamentation and design.
According to this invention 1 manufacture these varigated tubes from solid
drawn or braized or other tubes in the following manuer:-1 mount a set of wheels
in a die or wheel holder in such a manner that they converge to a centre or nearly
so according to the shape of the varigated tube required. To produce these
varigated shapes cut the wheels somewhat like toothed wheels in rises and
hollows so as to make depressions or otherwise upon the tubes like steps where
required.
These rises or depressions may be formed in only one direction or in both
directions and the die or wheel holder may be made to revolve slowly so as to give
a winding appearance to the varigated shapes. It will be clearly understood that
I may drive these wheels by cog or other gearing so as to draw the tubes forward
into the wheels or the tube may be pushed or drawn through the die wheels in this
case the wheels only acting like the side of a die which is constantly changeable in
its size and shape. These solid tubes or their equivalent may be stamped into
varigated shapes in dies or even pressed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Ornamental Tubing.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of 1 Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Stamper & Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention & in what manner the same 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 manufacture of ornamental
tubing and it has particular reference to such tubes as those shewn in my Specifi-
cation No. 7086 A.D. 1890, which however may be varied to a very large extent
as regards the formation & ornamentation and design.
According to this invention I manufacture these variegated tubes from solid
drawn or brazed or other tubes in the following manner. mount a set of wheels
in a dic or wheel held there in such a manner that they converge to a centre or
nearly so according to the shape of the variegated tube required. To produce
these variegated shapes I cut the wheels somewhat like toothed wheels in rises and
hollows so as to make depressions or otherwise upon the tubes like steps where
required. These rises or depressions may be formed in only one direction, or in
both directions & the die or wheel holder may be made to revolve slowly so as to
give a winding appearance to variegated shapes. It will be clearly understood
that I may drive these wheels by cog or other gearing so as to draw the tubes

page_text: forward into the wheels, or the tube may be pushed or drawn through the die
wheels in this case the wheels only acting like the side of a die which is constantly
changeable in its size and shape. These solid tubes or their equivalent may be
stamped into variegated shapes in dies or even pressed.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements and the mode of
carrying the same into effect.
Figure 1, is an elevation of the die or wheel holder complete.
Figure 2, is an elevation of one example of the die wheels.
Figure 3, is an elevation of another example of the die wheels.
Figure 4, shews an example of the kind of ornamental tube produced by my
improved mode of manufacture.
Figure 5, shews another example of the kind of ornamental tube produced by
my improvements.
Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 are sections through the edge of the die wheels shewing
various shapes.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount the set of wheels A in the die or
wheel holder A in such a manner that they all converge to the tube B at the
centre. The wheels A are formed with the swells a² and hollows a³ of a shape
suitable for the hollows and swells of the particular tube to be produced as for
example the wheel illustrated by Figure 2 for the production of tubing such as
illustrated by Figure 4 or the wheel illustrated by Figure 3 for the production
tubing such as shewn by Figure 5. I inay drive these wheels A by cog or other
gearing so as to draw the tubes B through the wheels or the tube may be pushed or
drawn through the die wheels A. the wheels only acting in such case as the side of
a die which is constantly changeable in its size and shape. These tubes whether
solid or otherwise may be stamped, into variegated shapes or dies or even pressed.
Tubes of any metal may be treated in this manner and may be operated upon
either while in a hot or cold state.
The die hole A may be slowly revolved as the tube passes through so as to give
a twist to the ornamentation. The edges a* of the wheels are so shaped as to give
the required shapes to the sides of the tubes and these may be varied to any extent.
Any number of sides to the tube may be formed by adding to the number of
wheels or the tube may be left circular.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what. I
claim is :-
The improvements in the manufacture of ornamental tubing consisting of the
wheels A with swells a² and hollows a substantially such as and for the purpose
herein set forth and shewn upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
