A process and machinery for making soldered chain links or rings

... 178,535. Golby, F. W., (Bek, E. G.). Jan. 14, 1921. Rings.-In an apparatus for making a soldered ring or chain link, particularly adapted for use in the chain-making machine described in Specification 358/13, a strip of solder L is fed through a bath of flux f by means of ratchet-driven rollers G, G<1> on the mandrel E. The upper end of the strip is led into a notch k in the closing die D, and the strip is then severed by a blade attached to the die, the cut part being held against the reduced end e of the mandrel during the closing of the ends of the ring a, which ends are cut on the bevel by a circular knife A. In modified constructions the solder is severed after the ring has been closed, and the closing die acts by a succession of strokes instead of a continuous pressure.

Process for producing a garland chain

A method for forming a garland chain is disclosed, wherein an original chain formed of either long links or of long and short links is worked to produce a garland chain. The garland chain is formed by sliding one link on another so that two attached links are positioned at one end of a long link, and deforming the long link to constrict the central or medial portion, thereby retaining the two attached links at the same end of the long link. Deformation may be applied in the form of crimping, bending or twisting of the links, or combinations of these methods. The deforming methods can be applied to every long link in a chain, or to selected sequences of long links, to create different garland chain effect.
