JOHN \V. MEAD, OF NEW YORK, Y., ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO JOHN H. MEAD, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN PACKING FOR CONDENSER-TUBES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,813, dated August 6, 1978; application filed July 23, 1878.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN W. lVIEAD, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packing for (Jondenser-Tubes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such. as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improved packing for condenser-tubes, the object being to provide a cheap and durable packing, and composed of such material that after the packing has been driven home between the tube and the tube-sheet it will swell and make a perfectly tight joint; and to this end my invention consists in a packing for condensertubes composed of layers of wood and paper secured together in any suitable manner and wound or formed. into a ferrule or cylinder of the desired size and shape.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an edge view of the wood and paper strips before being wound to the desired form. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the completed packing. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the packing.
A represents a thin strip or veneer of Wood, preferably bass wood, although other kinds may be employed. To the surface of the strip A is secured the paper strip B by means of a coating of glue or other adhesive material. The combined wood and paper strip may be made of any desired length, and then wound on a mandrel, the several layers being firmly secured together by a coating of glue or equivalent material, and when the tube or ferrule has been made up to the desired size one end thereof is turned off, as at G, to form a conical end, whereby the packing may be readily inserted into the tube-sheet around the end of a condenser-tube.
Condenser-tube packing formed in this manner and of the material above described possesses manyvaluable advantages over any other forms of packing yet produced, for the followin g reasons: The packing when made up of several layers of wood and paper possesses great strength, and is not liable to split or splinter when driven into its place; second, owing to the fact that the packing is composed of two different kinds of material possessing different characteristics and having their fibers running in different direction s, the packing is not liable to become cracked or injured by exposure to the varying changes of climate and the atmosphere; third, this form of packing insures a perfectly tight joint, as the wooden strip, while firm in texture, possesses the quality of swelling and enlarging when exposed to water, and thus the joint between the tube and tube-sheet is made perfectly tight by means of my improved packing.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. Packing for condenser-tubes and like purposes consisting of a ferrule or cylinder formed of layers of wood and paper secured to each other in any desired manner, substantially as set forth.
2. A packing for condenser-tubes and equiv alent purposes consisting of thin strips of wood and paper united by glue or equivalent material, and the compound strips then formed into a tube or cylinder of the desired size, the several coils being secured to each other by an interposed coating of glue or equivalent material, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of July, 1878.
JOHN \V. MEAD.
