Spigot and Socket and Flange Pipes.
FRED HERBERT, Brookland House Caerleon Road, Newport, Mon., Engineer and
JOHN EVAN JORDAN, French Villa Maindee, Newport, Mon., CHARLES GARIBALDI
JORDAN, Eveswell Park, Maindee, Newport, Mon., Engineer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A mould (which may be in halves or several parts, and be made of any suitable
material) for the purpose of manufacturing Spigot and Socket, Flanged, or other
pipes, in Cast Iron, Steel, or any other material, and having a suitable mechanical
contrivance for forming the Spigot, Socket, or Flange. The interior of the said
mould is formed to the shape of the pipe to he made, and having an internal arrange-
ment (collapsing or otherwise) for forming the socket. This mould may then have a
sufficient quantity of molten metal or other material poured or forced into it, and
either the mould, or the contained material, may then be caused to revolve, by any
suitable mechanical arrangement, at sufficient speed to cause the aforesaid molten
metal, or other material, to press against the inner surfaces of the mould, by reason
of its centrifugal force. The mould, or material, having been revolved until cool or
set, the socket forming contrivance, may be withdrawn or collapsed, and the pipe
extracted.

FRED HERBERT, Brookland House, 6 Caerleon Road, Newport, Mon. Engineer,
JOHN EVAN JORDAN, Pillgwenlly Foundry, Newport Mon., Engineer, and CHARLES
GARIBALDI JORDAN, P'illgwenlly Foundry, Newport, Mon., Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for THE MANUFACTURE OF CAST IRON, STEEL AND
OTHER SPIGOT & SOCKET AND FLANGE PIPES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:.
Fig. 1 on the accompanying drawing represents longitudinal section of mould,
Fig. 2 plan of mould, Figs. 3 and 4 cross sections, and shows one modification of
mould, (which may be built up in two or any number of parts, and connected together
by means of cramps hinges, or any other suitable contrivance) where A is the top
part of mould, B another part of mould Chinges connecting parts A and B together,
D eccentric cramps, E external necks or bearings, F friction or rope pulley for
driving mould, G loose block, which may have covering of loam or sand at H or
without either, this loose block G is used for forming the socket, or enlarged internal
diameter of socket end of pipe to be cast. This mould as described having being
placed in a horizontal position, and fixed in suitable bearings, which may be plain,
roller, or other antifriction bearings or journals, and arrangements made for driving
mould, either direct or by friction gear, rope gear, toothed gear, or by any other
suitable mechanical contrivance, and whilst being revolved, a sufficient weight of
molten metal to form required pipes, is run into the mould through either or both
ends of mould at I or J and having being revolved at sufficient speed to distribute
molten metal equally around walls of mould, by means of centrifugal force, and a
sufficient time to allow molten metal to set or solidify, which will vary with different
diameters and thicknesses of pipes. Mould is then stopped, opened, and pipe together
with loose block G is extracted from mould, the loose block G afterwards being drawn
from socket of pipe. By means of duplicate loose blocks, the act of casting, or
running pipes may be carried on continuously as fast as mould can be opened to
discharge pipes, and closed & secured to receive molten material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
we claim is.
1. The combination of mould, constructed and rotated as before described, together
with loose block as before mentioned, for the purpose of casting spigot and socket,
or other pipes, having varying internal diameters, having internal sizes of different
diameters, in cast iron, steel, glass, or other material.
