| "This invention relates to the manufacture of chains whereby they can be more rapidly and efficiently made than heretofore as well as with great saving of labour. It will thus be seen that by my invention not only is a great saving of time and labour effected in the manufacture of chains, but the links comprising such chains are more perfectly and regularly formed and by reason of the method employed in welding the link possesses more homogeneity, and consequent strength than has been arrived at by any process of hand manufacture which has been employed up to the present time. By my invention I overcome all these difficulties by ""swaging"" or pressing the joints of the links (whether butt joints or ""scarfed ""joints) to the normal size of the metal, simultaneous with the welding operation, while at the same time I avail myself of the speed and other benefits incidental to the use of electricity or a high-temperature furnace, for bringing the blanks to welding heat.",GB189514981A,0 | |

| "By means of this Invention, bulky articles of iron or steel are enabled to be tempered or hardened in a more effectual and uniform manner than by immersion in a bath of water or other substance that is liquid at ordinary atmospheric temperature. The fusible metal forming the tempering or hardening bath being a better conductor of heat becomes quickly and uniformly heated to about the same temperature throughout and the disadvantages attending sudden and irregular cooling are obviated. | |
| By means of this Invention, bulky articles of iron and steel such as armour plates for ships or forts, tubes, breech-pieces and hoops employed in making Ordnance, projectiles, rollers for rolling metal, axles,shafting and the like,are enabled to be tempered with the advantages attending the use of a bath, composed of molten metal as hereinafter described. | |
| The employment of a metallic bath presents a double advantage. In the first place, it ensures greater uniformity of temper, the different parts of the surface of the article being in contact with a metal, the temperature of which may be considered as being practically the same at its different parts owing to the great conductivity of fluid metal as compared to a non-metallic liquid. In the second place, the temperature of the bath may be raised to a sufficiently high degree to obviate all danger of strain or unequal tension of the parts of the article or fracture resulting from the tempering operation.",GB188610823A,1 | |

| """And the object of the said Invention is to obviate the various difficulties and drawbacks hitherto incident to the practise of the plumber's art; for example, it is the ordinary practice in fitting stop-cocks and Tjoints to range boilers and other like apparatus to ""wipe"" the Tjoint into the pipe and also to ""wipo"" the stop-cock on the pipe in proper relation with the T joint, three ""wiped"" joints being thereby rendered necessary in applying the Tjoint and stop-cock to the boiler; an unsightly and cumbrous piece of work being thus pro- duced, and the joints being liable to ""sweat"" where the Ṭ joint and stop-cock are inserted. In order to avoid this particular difficulty and source of inconvenience and loss this Invention comprises a new and complete combined stop-cock and T joint formed in one with a short section pipe, and provided at each end with a screw thread, by which means the insertion of the T joint and stop-cock by the clumsy ""wiped"" joints is avoided, and provision is made for the insertion of the device and of the pipe at a mere fraction of the cost involved in the practise of the usual method of ""wiping,"" as herein-before explained."" | |
| ""Moreover in order to provide for those cases where for any reason the use of the screw threads would be considered objectionable the Invention comprises a modi- fication of the feature just herein-before referred to, which modification consists in a combined stop-cock and T joint formed in one with a short connecting section of pipe, and with its end made tapering and tinned or speltered, by which means I provide a stop-cock and T joint always in the requisite relation with each other, and which will not ""sweat"" or leak, and which may be readily applied in the pipe of the range boiler or other apparatus, to which it may be applied by the insertion of its ends in the sections of such pipe, and the soldering of such sections to the tinned or speltered ends of the combined stop-cock and T joint instead of directly to each other."" | |
| ""And much difficulty has been experienced in forming T couplings, commonly so termed, by soldering a pipe section at right angles to another pipe or pipe section. In order to obviate this difficulty I use a novel † coupling composed of two separate and distinct sleeves or collars constructed with a flange and combined with nuts having internal shoulders with flaring internal thimbles and a T shaped body, the whole so constructed and combined as to provide a simple, strong, and durable T coupling by which three separate pipes or pipe sections may be as firmly con- nected as if soldered together, and without any of the inconvenience, liability of ""sweating,' and derangement experienced with the ordinary T coupling. Moreover pipe couplings as ordinarily constructed are liable to leak, are more or less weak, expensive, complicated, and deficient in strength; and in order to provide a coupling in which these defects shall be obviated this Invention comprises a doubly tapered packing sleeve of india-rubber or other compressible material in combina- tion with the internal thimble, the sleeve, the two threaded sections of a pipe coupling, and the flared ends of the lengths or sections of pipe to be joined."" | |
| ""Moreover in many cases, especially where the pipes are made of copper, brass, or other metal instead of lead, and used, for example, as steam pipes in which india- rubber would be liable to injury, it is frequently desirable that a compressed non- elastic material for packing should be used; and in order to provide for such con- ditions of use a modification of the above-named feature of this Invention comprises the combination of an internal hard metal bracing sleeve provided with a thickness or coating of lead or other soft metal, and of doubly tapering form, with the flared ends of the pipe sections to be joined and the two screw threaded sections of the coupling, the parts being so constructed and arranged that when the ends of the pipe sections are brought against each other by the screwing together of the threaded sections of the coupling the lead or soft metal coating of the internal bracing thimble will be forced tightly against and be made to closely conform to the flaring inner surface of the said ends of the pipe section, thereby rendering the joint impervious and tight."" | |
| ""It is frequently desirable or necessary to couple together lengths of flexible pipe of various kinds; for example, that made of soft or yielding material, and the fastenings or couplings hitherto in use for this purpose have been more or less defective when subjected to the test of continued use. To provide a durable and efficient coupling for such flexible pipes the Invention comprises a screw threaded or circumferential corrugated internal thimble arranged within the contiguous sections of flexible pipe to be joined and used in connection with the two sections, an annular sleeve or washer of a pipe coupling the parts being so constructed and arranged that the ends of the flexible pipe sections are firmly gripped and compressed between the aforesaid thimble on the inner side, and the coupling sections and sleeve on the outer side, the threaded or corrugated surface of the thimble effectually preventing the longitudinal slipping of the sections, aud thereby ensuring their firm retention at the joint."" | |
| ""Much difficulty has hitherto been experienced in connecting a number of pipes diverging in different directions at a point of common junction, as for example, at the outlet of a sink or the like, and in order to avoid the slow, expensive, and com- paratively unreliable method hitherto commonly in use this Invention comprises a multifold coupling constructed with a suitable thread and nut for attachment to the sink or other article in connection with which the device is to be used, and with a number of tinned or speltered tapering coupling necks, radiating or projecting in various directions from the body of the coupling, whereby provision is made for the ready soldering of the pipo to the aforesaid coupling necks, in order to make such pipes continuous with the bore of the body of the coupling and with all parts having communication with the said body."" | |
| ""Furthermore, in attaching pipe sections to a faucet by means of a screw coupling it is desirable in many cases to dispense with the use of the internal detachable thimble, which in certain other cases I find efficient and useful in practise. To meet such case this Invention comprises a pipe and faucet coupling, in which the tubular coupling piece is constructed with a fixed and permanent thimble of tapering form provided upon the end thereof, and made in one therewith in combi- nation with an external sleeve arranged upon the end of the pipe section to be attached a movable coupling nut and screw thread formed on the tubular coupling piece aforesaid, the whole so combined and arranged that the fixed thimble being snugly fitted within the end of the pipe section (enlarged to flaring form for the purpose), and the sleeve brought upon the external surface of said portion of the pipe section, the screwing home of the coupling nut firmly combines the end of the pipe section between the fixed thimble and the sleeve, thereby not only firmly affixing the pipe section to the coupling pieco, but also so firmly embedding the fixed thimble in the soft metal of the pipe section as to form a rigid and tight joint without any intermittent packing."" | |
| ""In order to add increased strength and firmness to the last-mentioned feature of this Invention I employ a novel combination of a flange provided on the flaring end of the pipe section with the flange of the external sleeve, with the end surface of the coupling piece and with the locking nut, these several parts being constructed and arranged to give the desired increased strength and permanence to the last previously mentioned feature of the said Invention.""",GB187602637A,1 | |
