Abstract: 18,427. Howe, L. F. Aug. 27. Bindings.-Realates to bindings or edgings for the bottoms of skirts and other garments. Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the method of manufacture of the binding, and Fig. 5 shows the complete binding attached to a skirt 9. Two webs 1, 2 are formed in duplicate on each side of a centre line x-x, the web 1 being of greater width than the web 2, while the latter is of greater thickness than the former, and may also have an ornamental finish or design. The webs are not woven or braided at the central part, but are woven or braided together on each side of this central portion by threads 3, and bundles 4 of extra warp thread may be inserted at this part to increase its thickness. The fabric is then divided along the line x-x, and each portion serves as a dress binding, the loose threads 5 forming a pile or fringe. A strip 6 of bias-cut velveteen is sewn in between the webs 1, 2. The fringe 5 may be dispensed with, or be replaced by a separate piece attached to the binding.

Games and sports, scoring and marking.- In a coin - controlled billiard marker and register, the axes B<1> and C<1> of the indicating-pointers carry ratchet-wheels, which are prevented from turning back by pawls. The dials may be graduated with fifty divisions and made to lock once in e a c h rotation, or with a hundred divisions and made to lock twice in each rotation. One dial with two pointers of different lengths, forms, or colours, or two concentric dials, may be used. A slide marking-board, locked at fifty and a hundred and having ratchets to prevent back motion, may be used. An additional dial may be provided to indicate the number of games played. Two small openings, fitted with shutters covering the numerals 50, may be provided for use when playing games of a hundred up. Actuating-mechanism; coin action. - The coinfreed mechanism preferably consists of a frame F held together by bolts F<1> and having an arm F<2> to which is pivoted an arm F<3> pulled against a pin 2 by a spring F<4>. The pin 2 is carried by a lever H carrying a stop H<1> to engage the shoulder of a cam G on the spindle C'. A coin or check of special form, placed in a similarly-shaped slot, falls down a shoot D into a receptacle J, Fig. 4, and, by pulling a handle K, is pushed, by a travelling carriage L under a lifting-carriage M working on a roller N and carried by a lever 0 pivoted to a lever P projecting underneath and adapted to lift the lever H so as to release the cam. A pin on the cam operates the lever F<3> at each rotation so as to allow the pin 2 to fall one notch. The check or coin, after passing under the lifting-carriage M, falls into a receptacle. The Provisional Specification describes a coin-freed apparatus in which, when one of the pointers reaches fifty, the coin is dislodged, by a pin, stud, or catch, into a drawer so as to cause the pointers to be locked again, the mechanism preferably consisting of a balance normally engaging or controlling the pointer axes or wheels on them.

Abstract: 19,353. Hawks, N. S. Oct. 29. Tubes, smoke; smoke-boxes.-To distribute the heat equally over the top and bottom surfaces of boiler smoke-tubes, a conical distributer 2 is placed in them. Fig. 1 shows such a distributer eccentrically placed, and having a cylindrical body supported on studs 4 and 5. The distributers of the various tubes in the same row may be attached to a bar 9, so that they may be withdrawn together or adjusted to vary the draught. Fig. 4 shows a modified form, in which the conical head is supported on a flat bar 11 placed vertically in the tube and resting on feet 13, 14 arranged alternately on opposite sides of the bar. These feet may be extended to form half discs with gaps for the passage of the gases, and a gapped disc 16 is preferably provided at the end of the bar. The smoke-box is divided by horizontal partitions 24 into a series of compartments, each of which communicates with several rows of tubes, and hinged dampers 27, simultaneously operated, are fitted in the mouths of these compartments. Surrounding the smoke box is a jacket 31 through which the air supply to the furnace is passed. This jacket is provided with baffles 35, 36, Fig. 13.

Abstract: 2570. Mildon, W. J. Feb. 6. Signals, electric-bell.-Relates to electric - bell signalling-apparatus, more particularly for use in coal mines, for communicating with the driver of the stationary engine from the remoter parts of the mine. To reduce the battery power required, and to obviate danger from sparking, which may occur when the bell circuit is completed at the remoter workings, the operation of the bell is effected by means of the manually-operated wire &c. w, connected to the contact-making lever f on the base a of the bell b. When the wire is pulled, the bell circuit is completed between the lever f and the contact e. The wire is carried over guidepulleys &c., and is secured at the end to any suitable tension arrangement, so that it can be operated at any point. The lever f is returned to its normal position by the adjustable spring g enclosed in the casing q, the return movement being limited by the adjustable stop r. The perforations h in the lever enable its connections with the wire w and spring g to be varied.

Abstract: 10,550. Lee, E. May 21. Printing on tiles, glass, and the like; rotary machines.-Relates more particularly to the printing of tiles and like objects, but also to printing wood, wall paper, and fabrics. Collotype or other printing plates C are mounted on a cylinder B to which inking-apparatus E, F, G and damping- apparatus H, J are applied in a usual manner. An impression in varnish or colour is made from the blocks C on to a transfer cylinder L having a yielding surface, composed of a mixture of glue, treacle, linseed oil, and yolk of egg. From this the print is made on to the tile T. The tiles are placed on holders U on endless chains P running on rollers O mounted in adjustable bearings P<1>. A roller R, adjustable by screws S, supports the holders U during the impression. When printing wall paper or fabric, it may be placed on the bands carried by the chains P, or it may be placed directly between the cylinder L and roller R. The tiles &c. are printed in printers' varnish and are then powdered with the requisite colours, so that they may be fired. When collotype plates are used, they are preferably formed on sheets of pure tin, which can be bent to the cylinder ; or other flexible sheets such as aluminium may be used. Ordinary aluminium or other printing-surfaces may be employed..

The operating-coil 1, Fig. 1, is wound on a core 2, and acts as a solenoid on a magnetic core 5, preferably of iron, the core being connected by a non- magnetic bar 7 &c. to the lever 9, which carries the indicating-disc 6. When the coil is energized, the core 5 is drawn in, and the disc 6 is moved into the indicating position, shown in dotted lines. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the indicating- disc 15 is connected directly to the core 13. The indicators may be reset by any suitable means, or by a second coil arranged in alignment with the operating-coil in a local circuit. When a series of indicators are employed, all the re-setting coils may be included in a single local circuit. With the object of increasing the strength of the magnetic field inside the coil for a given strength of current, the coil may be enclosed in a sheath of sheet iron, or the coil and bobbin may be fixed to the base by a strap of sheet iron wholly or partially encircling them.
