IMPROVE- MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SUCTION HOSE OR VACUUM TUBING
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES JONES, of Dublin, in the County of Dublin, Ireland, India-rubber
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SUCTION HOSE OR VACUUM TUBING," to be
as follows:-
This Invention has reference to the manufacture of suction hose or vacuum
tubing of simple construction and of a durable and inexpensive character. The
article manufactured according to my Invention is especially designed for use in
"suction pumps, or as vacuum tubing for use in connexion with the brake system on.
railways.
The frame of the tubing may be formed of copper, iron, or steel wire, or other
suitable material, wound spirally on a wooden, or metal, mandrel in the ordinary
manner usual for suction hose or vacuum tubing.
Around this frame is wound a covering of cloth of silk, cotton, linen, calico, or
similar textile fabric previously prepared by being saturated in raw or boiled
linseed oil or other suitable oil or compound of oils capable of rendering the
material of air tight or water-tight capacity.
The use of material treated thus enables me to dispense with the employment
of india-rubber, a commodity hitherto largely used in the manufacture of suction
hose and vacuum tubing rendering the manufactured article expensive.
The fabric prepared as above described is then laid on the frame in one or more
continuous pieces according to the strength and flexibility of tubing required to be
produced.
When the article is so far complete the plies or layers of fabric used as covering
are bound round with wire or cord wound in a spiral manner. During the process
of applying the wire or cord around the external surface, the material or covering
is pulled uniformly between the outer and inner spirals from end to end of the
tube to be made.

page_text: I, JAMES JONES, Dublin, India-rubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SUCTION
HOSE OR VACUUM TUBING" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to.
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention has reference to the manufacture of suction hose, or vacuum
tubing, of simple construction, and of a durable and inexpensive character. The
article manufactured according to my Invention is especially designed for use in
connexion with the brake system on railways..
The frame of the tubing may be formed of copper, iron, or steel wire, or other
suitable material, wound spirally on a wooden or metal mandrel in the ordinary
manner usual for suction hose, or vacuum tubing.
Around. this frame is wound a covering of cloth of silk, cotton, linen, calico, or
similar textile fabric, previously prepared by being saturated in raw, or boiled
linseed oil, or other suitable oil, or compound of oils, capable of rendering the
imaterial of air-tight or watertight capacity.
The use of material treated thus enables me to dispense with the employment of
india-rubber, a commodity hitherto largely used in the manufacture of suction hose.
and vacuum tubing, rendering the manufactured article expensive.
The fabric prepared as above described is, then laid on the frame in one or more
continuous pieces according to the strength and flexibility of tubing required to be
produced.
When the article is so far complete the plies or layers of fabric used as covering
are bound round with wire or cord. wound in a spiral manner. During the process
of applying the wire or cord around the external surface of the tube, the material
or covering forming same is smoothed uniformly between the outer and inner
spirals from end to end of the tube;
A layer of cloth may be, finally, wrapped round the cord or wire for the purpose
of preserving the said cord or wire from injury.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
E
1. The use and application of cloth in the manufacture of suction hose or.
vacuum tubing, prepared in the manner substantially as herein described.
2. The use and application of cord, or wire, for the purpose of binding the
covering of suction hose or vacuum tubing substantially as specified.
3. The combination in the manufacture of suction hose or vacuum tubing,
formed by the employment of cloth, prepared in the manner herein before
described, and. wound round a spiral wire frame, and bound round its outer
