This invention pertains to a process of :of a'n oval shape in cross section so as to mak ng split IlIigS by forming the metal permit the C0115 to be clamped in position rather than casting the same. at an angle thereto as illustrated in Fig.

The invention claimed is:
1. The process of forming split rings consisting in distorting said rings so thatthe adjacent free ends thereof will extend within a true circle passed thereabout, heat treating said rings in such deformed condition, and thereafter grinding or turning the same ,so as to vary the stress of the metal and cause said ends to resume their normal circular position. I
2. The process of forming split rings consisting of spirally winding a strip of metal into a helical coil, cutting the coil to form individual split rings deforming the abutting free ends of said rlngs out of round, heat treating the same in their deformed condition, and thereafter grinding or turning the same so as to vary the stress of the metal and cause them to return to their normal circular formation.
3. The process of forming split rings consisting of spirally winding a strip of metal into a cylindrical coil, cutting the coil to form individual rings, heat treating said rin s with the free abutting ends formed slightly 4 inwardly, and thereafter grinding or turning the surface of said rings so as to vary the stress of the metal whereby the ends thereof .Will be brought to conform to a true circle.
' 4. The process of forming split rings consisting of spirally winding a strip of metal into a helical coil, cutting the coil to form in "dividual rings, mounting the same on an arbor having a portion of its face relieved adjacent the split ends of the rings, heat treating the rings thereon, and thereafter grinding or turning the rings so as to vary the stress of the metal and bring them back to. normal circularfor-mation.
5. The process of forming split rings consisting of spirally Winding a strip of metal into a helical coil, heat treating the same, cutting the coilto form individual, rings, mounting said rings on an arbor of the diameter desired therefor, said arbor having that portion thereof adjacent the split ends of the rings relieved, and being ofsuliicient diamresets? eter to cause the free ends of said rings to be drawn inwardly against said relieved surface, heat treating said rings' thereon and thereafter grinding or turning said rings so as to vary the stress of the metal and cause the deformed ends thereof to return to true circular position.
6. The process of forming piston rings consisting' of spirally winding a strip of metal into a helical coil, mounting the same over a cylindrical arbor so as to stretch said coil'into true cylindrical form, mounting said coil over a supporting arbor and clamping the same in angular relation thereto, cutting said coil at an angle so as to form individual split rings, mounting said individual rings over an arbor of the desired diameter and having that portion thereof adjacent the split ends of the rings relieved, whereby said free ends may 'be drawn inwardlythereagainst, heat treating said rings on said arbor, and. thereafter grinding or turning said rings so as to vary the stress of the metal whereby their ends will resume a true circular formation.
7. The process of forming split rin s consisting of'spirally winding a strip of metal into a helical coil, heat treating the same,
cutting the coil to form individual rings,
rings so as to vary the stress of the metal and cause the deformed ends thereof to return to true circular position.
8. The process of forming sp lit rings consisting of mounting said rings on an arbor having a portion of its face relieved adjacent the split ends of the rings, said arbor being of slightly larger diameter than the normal diameter of said rings for spreading the same and drawing the free spread ends thereof inwardly 'a'djacent the relieved portionwhereby said ends will extend within a true circle, heat treating the rings on said arbor,
and thereafter grinding the rings so as to vary the stress of the metal and bring them back to normal circular formation.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature.
