SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 4A8,594, dated March 17, 1891.
Application filed December 24, 1890. Serial No. 3751711. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. SMITH, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Processes of Manufacturing Plated \Vire; and I do hereby declare the following to be a specification thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. I
Like letters indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the metallic core of my improved plated wire. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of said core after it has been electroplated with another metal. Fig. 4. is a perspective View of the outer metallic shell. Fig. 5 is an end View of-the same. Fig. 6 shows in perspective the shell in position upon the electroplated core. Fig. 7 is an end View of the same. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the plated Wire, which is the product of my improved process.
My invention relates to the processes of plating wires for various purposes required 2 5 in the arts; and it consists in electroplating a metallic rod or core with a metal which is fusible at a comparatively less degree of heat than said rod, then putting on said electroplated rod a metallic shell or tube for an exterior surface, then subjecting said compound rod to a sufficient degree of heat to melt the electro-deposited metal, thereby soldering the shell or tube to the rod, and then reducing said rod to wire by drawing, rolling, or in any other suitable manner.
This process is adapted to the formation of plated wires composed of any suitable metals; but 1 will proceed to describe my invention as applicable to the manufacture of goldplated wire, for which purpose it is especially useful in making stock for jewelers use.
In the drawings, A represents a rod or core of composition or base metal. Upon this rod A, I deposit, by the wellknown method of electroplating, a thin layer or film B, preferably of silver or other easily-fusible metal. A flux ing material (borax) may be applied. or not, as may be desired. A shell 0 of gold, drawn up in the usual manner from sheet-stock, with a longitudinal opening a, is placed upon said electroplated rod A B, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The whole is then subjected to heat in any suitable manner until the layer or film of electro-deposited metal B is fused. The shell 0 is thus soldered upon the rod A. This compound structure is then reduced to wire by drawing, or any other of the well-known methods for that purpose, and the product is a plated wire, as illustrated in Fig. 8. The opening a, of Figs. (3 and '7 is tightly closed by the reducing process and becomes a scarcely perceptible line a, as seen in Fig. 8. If, however, such an opening is undesirable, I can use, instead of a split shell 0, a seamless tube of gold made in any of the well-known .methods.
'heat sufficient to fuse said electro-deposited metal, thereby soldering the shell or tube to the rod, and then reducing the same to wire by any of the usual methods for that purpose, substantially as specified.
2. The improved process of making plated wire herein described, consisting in depositing upon a metallic rod by electroplating a thin layer or film of another metal, then coating said rod with a fiuxing material, then placing upon said electroplated and fluxed rod a metallic shell or tube, then subjecting the whole to heat suflieient to fuse said electro deposited metal, thereby soldering the shell or tube to the rod, and then reducing the same to Wire by any of the usual methods for 0 that purpose, substantially as specified.
CHARLES R. SMITH.
