GRUV R, acitizen of, the United States, and

I have disclosed a method of makinghollow rjnetalTlozills,.' WhiQh comprises in general,

ityf. ,Thefinyentionof the present applicw method and,
ap arat s escribed' l in those a of the present intention I have discovered that thej shape'of the clos efficiency ofthemclosing operation and have ,foundyit advantageous so to form this groove" thatl fi the shell contacts with .it at two n points only; To attain this resultQI make sides, ofsuoh form ithatthe two points of the rollinggrooue with outwardly diverging contact are substantially Below the mouth of at thagmova even at the start ofjthe closin operation thuspreifenting theicntting of the Shelli When-a shell is rolled under ipressure within a) circular groovefof this 'Ineridional sectionglthe groove im artsa gyrating movejinent to the shell an is highly efficient in working and ,spinning the metal of [the shell, closethe hole or .holes left. after the forming operation, knit themetal into a" 5 tifi ll ftantially homogeneous shell,and size the v earlier patents, have described making halls from a blank of fiat metal. For small balls, "that is for balls less'than about 1 inch] I diameter, this method in operations preparatory to rolling. rollingand closing, the finished product thus has two diametrically opposed noleswhere themetal'is knitted together and the ball is *panving' drawincnin which Fig.9 and Fig. 3P arevertical' throughthefireliininary forming dies showquite "satisfactory, "but for the larger sizes,
thernumber of forming operations, preliminary to rolling andlclosing, and the number of annealing and rolling operations must be increased. Moreover, where anicely balanced-ball mustbe obtained, as for certain types of valves, it is diflicult to obtain a size balls and to makea more perfectly balfanced ball. -I attain this object by starting outwith a trimmed tubular blank and partly close the two ends by forming orpressing After more perfectly balanced than if it had but i a single point of closure. In thus making before the forming operation.

Fig; 2 is a similar View t this blank cong varied into substantially spherical form, but with openings at "opposite sides by means of the dies shown in' Figs. 3*and 3". a a a Fig. 3*is a section through a closed ball which results from taking the ballform of Fig. 2 and closing its openings in accordance with the present invention. I

Fig eis ayiewin the nature of a diagram of the 'shapehf a pair ofc'losing grooves; i
' shown in Figs. 2 and 3, having which is adjustable operation progresses.
'= the upper Fig. 'l is a view similar to Fig. 6 but showing a modified form of groove. v I in carrying out the invention I tal{e'n1etal tubing, the wall of which is substantially of the same thickness throughout, and from this l cut a section, and at the same time edge and taper it from its center towards either end, as shown at 11 in Fig. 1. This tapered section of tubing is then placed between forming dies, shown in Figs. 3* and 3 ,-which are mounted in a suitable machine, and with one or more pressing or forming operations, according to the size of theshell, l t obtain a blank or shell which is round, as two small holes 12 opposite each other. The shells are subjected to annealing/operations, repeated as may be necessaiy. I
This shell or ball with two holes is next placed in specially formed grooves of a machine illustrated generally in Fig. 4' for closand sizing. The grooves are formed in the faces of opposing discs, the upper oneof towards and from the lower one by hand wheel 3 through caring a, and the lower may be rotated t rough mechanism illustrated in Fig. l. The holes closed and the ball is sized by a rolling spinning action, and this action is given under gradually increasing pressure, as the At rst the. upper die or plate 2 is raised to permit the rough hall-shapes to be introduced into the groove 1 and then by turning the hand-wheel Sat.
La v I portlon of the machine in the proper'direction this upper die 1s lowered througn the gearing, to bear upon these halls.
- duced paratively rapid at the beginning of the pressure on the balls, butas the size is reand the hole closed, the lowering must be slowed down. The. relative po ition of the plates and the size-of the is is indicated on a dial ring 5 and pointor '6 the top of the machine.
"As shown in Fig. 6, the configuration of groove 1 is specially formed. Viewed in cross section, it is made up of segments of circle-s. From to 5, Fig. 6, thearc. is struck from c as a center, and the diameter here is, say, .685 of an. inch. The bottom of the groove, i. e., the part lying between the points -4), is struck on a radius (giving a diameter or, say, .625) from center (1. The
rough ball shape, when first introduced into this groove, is represented approximately by the dotted circle c. It will thus be seen that from the mouth of the groove to substantially hair way to the bottom thereof the radius is larger than the shell or ball when placed in the groove. From substantially hair the depth to the bottom of the groove, the radius is substantially that of the radius of the ball when the operation is completed.
"in these grooves of the upper and lower The lowering movement may he complane nearly half depth of'th'e groove when the ball or shell is placed in the grooves although the ball does not touch the bottom of the grooves. The two points of contact in each groove are less than 180 apart. When pressure is exerted on the shell or ball by the grooved discs between which the balls are located, owing to the tapering of the shell and the special configuration of the groove, a movement of metal starts from desired partsv of the wall, and goes towards the holes in such a manner that the holes are closed to the full thickness of the wall, the particles of metal tightly knitting together, and the wall of the ball being thickened to the desired degree, andl produce a ball that is of the same strength at all parts and perfectly balanced. v y I anneal the shell or ball before placing it in the grooves and do not confinemyself to one rolling or annealing." 4 The groove for sizing theball and closing the openings therein may be of the form way of the depth of the groove to the bottom thereof, the wallfollows a segment'of a circle, the radius of which is substantially that of the ball when the operation is completed. When the ballcom'es from the closing' and sizing grooves'it may not be perfectly spherical. As a finishing operation, I place it between the shallow finishing grooves 7 which grooves are circular in cross-section vcut on a circle of larger diameterthan the ball so that each groove contacts'with the ball at one point only. I
By the use of a closing groove of the con figuration described or its equivalent the balls are caused to constantly change as to the position oi their. aXis of rotation so that they do not rotate about an axis always disposed horizontally. This would beundesirable because then the balls would roll only on their top and bottom portions like a 1 wheel. turning about a horizontal axis. lVith the four point bearing however, in which two of the points are travelling faster, than theircompanion points'by reason of their greater distance from the center of rotation the ball form is given what may be called a gyrating movement and all parts are brought under the action of the walls of the groove causing the'metal to flower" move from all directions towards the axis of-the opening or openings so that eventually the ball is completely closed. The invention is not limited to the use of rotating'discs as other forms of grooved members may be employed to give the ball its universal rotary hase: been proposed toma-ke a shell from metalj'ktubing :with .holes, 'atj'opposite points to receive-a rod or balustenbut inthat profv posal afitubeitapered toits endswas ag, 1 gested, neither-was a 'completely closed ,hol;
