is thus annealed. In some cases we form the parison by means of machinery

work just over the metallic vessel intended to be lined with glass. In lining solid-
ended tubes we have the tube in a perpendicular position and thus drop the
suitably blown parison into them but in lining pipes or tubes that are open at both

any other suitable mechanical means of blowing up the glass lining into the iron

5 An Improved Process for Lining Metallic or other Vessels or Tubes
with Glass.
We DAN RYLANDS of Stairfoot near Barnsley in the County of York Glass
Bottle Manufacturer and ALFRED HUSSELBEE of Stairfoot aforesaid Glass Tube
Drawer 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 :—
Our invention has for its object the lining of metallic or other vessels with glass
in such a way that such vessels can be used for a great variety of
purposes; and
our invention is particularly applicable to the lining of pans of various shapes
5 and of vessels for containing chemical or other substances, also of large tubes.

page_text: In the accompanying drawings (which are in sectional elevation) Fig. 1 shows a
blowpipe and parison attached, the parison being of suitable form for the lining of
the iron or other vessel. In Fig. 2 the parison has been blown up in the interior
of the now lined vessel and the "burst-off" formed. Fig. 3 shows the completed
glass lined vessel with the "burst-off" ground away. Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate the
method of glass lining a tube with a closed end, and Figs. 6 and 7 the lining of an
open ended tube.
:
In carrying out our invention we take the metallic vessel a (Fig. 2) which we
intend to line with glass and we heat it by any suitable means to a dull red or to
any other suitable heat. When the vessel is at the proper heat we gather on the end
of a suitable blow tube b (Fig. 1) hot metal and we form therewith a suitable parison c
which we blow out to nearly the size of the vessel we are intending to line with glass.
We then introduce this parison into the vessel a, and we blow it up to the full size of
the inside of such vessel, and as the vessel is at a proper heat to cause the glass
to adhere to it the said vessel thus becomes properly glass-lined. We so arrange the
blowing that immediately the glass has been blown up to the full size of the vessel,
what is known in the trade as a "burst-off" d d is formed around the top of the
vessel and thus the superfluous glass adhering to the end of the blow tube is
blown or burst-off the glass which is lining the vessel. After this has been done
the glass lined vessel is passed into a proper annealing arch or leer and is thus
annealed.
Fig. 3 shows the lined vessel after the glass forming the "burst-off" has been
removed by grinding.
In lining a solid ended tube, we place the tube in a perpendicular position and
then lower the suitably blown parison c into it as shown by Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 shows the lined tube in its completed state after the annealing and the
removal of the "burst-off" by grinding.
In lining tubes that are open at both ends (Figs. 6 and 7) we make the pipe hot
and fix it in such a position that a tube post e is passed through to meet the partly
blown parison as shown by Fig. 6. The parison is now by aid of the tool post
drawn through the heated tube. This being done, and the tube post removed the
divided mould g is placed in position as shown.
The parison being now blown up will complete the lining of the tube. A. con-
tinuation of the blowing will result in the formation of a "burst-off" at the blow
pipe end of the tube. The detachable mouldy being now removed, the bulb h
can be "wetted off" after the usual manner and the lined tube removed to the
annealing oven.
Figs. and 9 show partly in sectional elevation an arrangement of machine
suitably adapted for the glass lining of iron or other metallic vessels by the pressing
and blowing process.
Referring to the Figs. 8 & 9, a is the pressing plunger operated in the usual manner
by the counterbalanced pressing lever b, c a tubular pressing plunger rod guide
carried by the central pillar d, e the parison mould cover which by means of the
screw threads and handles gy, is capable of making joint with the conical upper
surface of the parison mould and thus very firmly hold the two halves constituting
the mould together during the pressing operation; i the upper portion of the parison
mould made in two halves for opening and closing purposes and hinged to the
central pillar d, j the lower portion of the parison mould, also in two parts, which
parts are readily detachable from the upper portion by reason of the arrangement
of stepped collars kk; la fixed pillar-bearing carrying the central pillar d tubular
guide c, and pressing plunger a in such a manner that the pressing plunger can be
readily brought over the upper surface of the parison mould or radiated away from
the parison mould at the will of the operator. The object of this radiating
arrangement is to uncover the mould during the charging of the molten metal;
m a platten actuated in an up and down direction by the cylinder n and the piston
rod o; pp pipes connecting the upper and lower portions of the hydraulic or other

page_text: cylinder with a suitable valve arrangement whereby the raising and lowering of the
platten m is controlled by the attendant, y the vessel to be lined.
In glass lining an iron or other metallic vessel by the above described machine
we proceed in the following manner. The upper and lower portions constituting
the parison mould are placed in the position indicated by Fig. 8 and secured
together by lock handles in the usual manner. The molten metal is now charged
into the interior cavity of the parison mould. The plunger next being operated
will in its descent cause the formation of the parison as shown by Fig. 8 at r.
The lower portion of the parison mould being now unlocked and radiated out of the
way will leave the parison suspended by the mouth portion above and central with
the metallic vessel to be lined.
Air under pressure being now admitted into the interior of the parison will cause-
it to expand and assume a formation somewhat after the manner indicated by
Fig. 9.
The previously heated vessel to be lined being now by the piston
rod o raised into the position shown, and the admittance of compressed air
continued will result in the complete lining of the vessel and the formation of the
burst-off as described in reference to Figs. 2, 4, 6 and 7.
The screw operated mould cover being now by rotation of the handles y y raised
above the upper surface of the parison mould, the mouth portion of the mould can
now be opened and the superfluous glass removed the closing of the upper portion
and the attachment of the lower portion of mould and the radiating away of the
pressing plunger from the parison mould will with the lowering of the piston o
and platten m, place the machine in readiness for a repetition of the above described
series of operations.
It will be well understood that our process as herein described will be applicable
to square or round or other shape of vessel, and is also applicable to electric
accumulator cells, the glass in this case being well blown over the outside top edge
of the cell.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. Glass lining metallic vessels or tubes in the manner described and shown.
at Figs. 1 to 5.
2. Glass lining metallic pipes in the manner described and illustrated with
reference to Figs. 6 and 7.
3. The lining of metallic vessels with glass by the pressing and blowing process
in the manner and by the arrangements herein described and illustrated with.
reference to Figs. 8 and 9.
