No. 16782.—12th August, 1903.—BALFOUR FRASER McTEAR, of Brook Cottage, Rainhill, Lancaster, England, Engineer, and HENRY CECIL WILLIAM GIBSON, of 29, Great St. Helens, London, England, Managing Director. Improvements in or connected with the manufacture of tubes or hollow bodies.

Claims.—(1.) The described improvement connected with the process of manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein they are rolled between internal and external rollers, consisting in pressing down the part of the mandrel roller which lies within its main supporting bearings by pressure acting on parts of said mandrel roller outside the said main bearings, in a contrary and parallel or oblique direction to that exerted by the main bearings on the mandrel in the rolling action, for the purposes described. (2.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by an internal roller and an external roller, main adjusting or moving bearings mounted and working in a frame at either end of the machine, and bearings outside said frames supported by a lifting or pulling means adapted to press the ends of the mandrel roller in a direction opposite to the main bearings, substantially as described. (3.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by an internal roller and an external roller, main mandrel-roller bearings adapted to bear upon the side of the said roller opposite the external roller, and normally upwardly pressed bearings below said main bearings, adapted to keep the mandrel roller against the bearing-parts of the main bearings, for the purposes set forth. (4.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal roller and an external anvil roller, the combination of the main roller and wheel bearings 5 supported in bearing-boxes or carriers 4, and the supplementary roller-bearings 28 having bearing-wheels 29, 30, normally pressed up by hydraulic rams 32, substantially as set forth. (5.) The described improvement connected with the manufacture of tubes or hollow bodies by rolling same between internal and external rollers—namely, effecting the prevention of longitudinal travel of the billet or body being rolled, and controlling the longitudinal position of same while being rolled by pressing on one end of same a greater degree than upon the other when the longitudinal travel commences or takes place—substantially as and for the purposes described. (6.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by an internal roller and an external roller, pressing or holding the ends of the internal roller which lie outside the main bearings of this roller in a direction at about right angles to the plane in which the said internal and external rollers lie, substantially as described. (7.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal roller and an external anvil roller, main mandrel moving or adjusting bearings having connected with them a hydraulic ram or piston and cylinder, by which in the rolling action said bearings are pressed on to the mandrel roller, and a mechanical controlling-mechanism connecting with said bearings and ram, operated or controlled by hand, and adapted to limit and control continuously during the operation, the movement of same and the action of the hydraulic pressure. (8.) In machinery for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal mandrel roller and an external anvil roller, main mandrel-roller bearing operating hydraulic cylinders 36 and ram, disposed above said bearings and connected by rods with same, and a rotary governing and controlling mechanism on said rod, adapted to be rotated and operated by hand, substantially as set forth. (9.) In a machine for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal roller and an external anvil roller, the main bearings 4 operating in the main frames 7, the hydraulic cylinders 36 with pistons therein, rods 37 connecting said pistons and bearings, worm wheels 42 with cams on their upper surface, a cross-head or frame 39 on the rods 37, adapted to operate in connection with said cams, and worms 43 operating said worm wheels, substantially as set forth and shown in the drawings. (10.) In a machine for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal mandrel roller and an external anvil roller, the arrangement of the external mandrel-bearing 12 outside the main frames 7, supported and operated from a hydraulic ram 10 and cylinder 11, as set forth with reference to the drawings. (11.) In a machine for manufacturing tubes or hollow bodies, wherein the tube or body is rolled by a moved internal mandrel roller and an external anvil roller, side supporting-rollers 8 mounted on arms 9, supported in bearings 50, and working through right- and left-hand threaded screws 51 outside said bearings, through nuts 52 and arms mounted outside said bearings, substantially as set forth with reference to the drawings.
