page_text: Motion is imparted from the operating fork C to the cutter A in any convenient
manner such, for instance, as that illustrated.
With this construction of sheep-shearing machine the result illustrated in Figs. 3
and 4 is impossible, it being obvious that the boss or projection D will always take
the pressure from the fork C, and will prevent the latter from coming down on to
the heel of said cutter.
"
In order to prevent the wool from slipping out from between the cutting edges
of the cutters and combs of sheep-shearing machines, I make the cutting edges of
the former with a wavy, crinkly, or serrated outline as clearly illustrated in Fig. 7,
the result being that the wool will be held or retained between said cutting edge
and that of the comb tooth underneath, and will therefore be cut, instead of, as has
occurred with ordinary sheep-shearing machines when the cutter became blunt,
being pushed out from between said cutting edges without being so cut.
These cutting edges, instead of having a wavy outline as just described, and as
illustrated in Figs. 7, 8, and 9, might be made according to either of the modifi-
cations shown in Figs. 9, 10, or 11. My improved sheep-shearing machine cutters:
can be either cast or stamped as may be found most convenient.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:―
1st. Cutters for sheep-shearing machines, having a projection or boss (such
as D) on their upper surface, adapted to take the pressure from the end or.nose of
the operating fork, substantially as and for the purpose specified and as illustrated
in Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 6 of the accompanying drawings.
2nd. Cutters for sheep-shearing machines, having wavy, serrated, or crinkly
cutting edges; substantially as and for the purposes specified and as illustrated in
Figures 2 and 7 to 11 of the accompanying drawings.

An Electrical Transformer.
I, ALFRED DAVID WILLIAMSON, of 26 Alwyne Road, Canonbury in the County
of Middlesex, Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to a simple and compact construction of electrical trans-
former which presents considerable radiating surface to reduce heating, and is
readily accessible for repairs, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
From thin iron sheet I punch a number of pieces as shewn in Fig. 1, each of the
shape shewn by Fig. 2, with their limbs so proportioned that they can be punched
out without waste. A number of these pieces, varnished or otherwise insulated, are
put together face to face, each alternate one being inverted, and thus four groups
are formed, which, if they stood by themselves not wound with wire, would appear
as shewn in elevation by Fig. 3 and in plane by Fig. 4, presenting four sets of
external limbs A and four sets of internal limbs B. As shewn in Figs. 5 and 6 the
whole group of the four internal limbs B, which are preferably insulated from one
another, to prevent losses by Foucault currents, is enclosed in a bobbin S of thick
wire constituting the one coil of the transformer and each group of the external
limbs A. is enclosed in a bobbin P of fine wire, these together constituting the other
coil of the transformer. Either coil may be used as primary and the other as
secondary, according as the transformer is applied for converting from low to high
pressure or conversely.
It is to be understood that, for convenience of winding, the insulated wires are in
each case coiled upon tubular bobbins of approximately square section, and that the
limbs A and B of the pieces of plate are thrust into these bobbins from each end
alternately.
The complete set of plates and bobbins are clamped together between two plates
or frames bolted together, and the whole may be enclosed in a casing D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
An electrical transformer consisting of four sets of iron plates of approximately
U shape, grouped together in form of a cross the four sets of their internal limbs
enclosed together within a bobbin of thick wire and the four sets of their external
limbs enclosed separately in bobbins of fine wire, substantially as described.

Improvements in Pocket Cases.
I, FREDERICK DIEKER, of 29, Center Street, in the City and State of New
York, United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a pocket book that is opened or closed by revolving
an inner circular case or pocket within an outer semi-circular case.
It consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in
the claims.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved pocket book showing it open and with
one flap turned back.
Fig. 2 is a central cross section through the open book.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the pocket book showing it closed and
Fig. 4 is a central cross section through the closed book.
The letters a, a, represent the two sides or disks of a circular pocket, which
are partly disconnected at the circumference, to form the mouth.
Thus in Fig. 1, the sides a, a, are disconnected above the points a¹, but connected
at their circumference below such points.
b, is a semi-circular case open on top for admission of pocket a.
The case b, is of
a size to conceal a little more than one half of the pocket. At its center the
case b, has the upwardly projecting flaps b', through which pass rivets c. These
rivets so connect the pocket a, with the case b, that the former may be readily
revolved in the latter.
When the mouth of pocket a, is exposed, as in Figs. 1 and 2, the pocket book
is open, but when the mouth of the pocket is embraced by the case as in
Figs. 3 and 4, the pocket book is closed. Thus it will be seen, that the pocket
book may be readily opened and closed by merely revolving the pocket or case and
without the use of any lock. To limit the amount of revolution of pocket a, it
is provided with a button e.
If desired, postage stamps and similar small articles may be slipped into the
space between the case and the pocket, to the right and left of the pivots c.
The pocket a, may be subdivided by partitions d, as usual.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. A pocket book or case composed of an outer case b, and of an inner
revolving pocket pivoted therein, substantially as specified.
2. A pocket book or case composed of an outer case b, and of a pair of disks
pivoted therein and connected along a part of their circumference to constitute
an inner pocket, substantially as specified.
3. The combination of outer case b, with the inner revolving pocket a, pivoted
thereto and with a button e, on such pocket, substantially as specified.

A Fire Lighter and Disinfectant.
We, FRANCIS IDLE, of Crown Inn, Great Moor, Stockport, Engineer, and
ISAAC PEARSON, of Mile End, Stockport, Fire-light Manufacturer, both in the
County of Chester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object to provide a fire lighter, which at the same time
serves as a disinfectant and which is cheaper than those heretofore in use.
In carrying out our invention, we take peat or turf, which after having been
suitably dried, we compress to a certain degree. The dried and compressed peat or
turf we then dip into a solution of creosote oil and carbolic acid, and when dry it
will be ready for use.
The peat or turf thus prepared, we press or cut into bars or other suitable shapes,
so as to be handy for use, either as a fire lighter or disinfectant.
The proportions employed for the manufacture of one gross of fire lighters,
are-
14 pounds of peat.
18 pounds of creosote oil containing 9 per cent. of carbolic acid.
The fire lighter described will give off a very pleasant smell and by reason of its
carbolic properties will act as a disinfectant either before or on being consumed.

An Improved Envelope or Wrapper for Letters or Packages.
I, ANDREAS SCHWANENBERGER, of Düren, in the Empire of Germany, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
According to the present invention, an envelope for letters or other packages is
provided in which a closing on two sides is effected in such a manner that both
sides of the envelope or wrapper are the same, and can both be used for writing the
address, and part of the closing flap can be covered by the postage stamp, so as to
prevent an unauthorized opening of the wrapper or envelope.
It will be seen by reference to the annexed drawings that the paper A, of which
the wrapper is formed, is provided at the two opposite corners with two equally
shaped flaps cc, the flaps e extending to one half the width, and the flaps c¹ to half
the length. If now the sheet is folded in the middle, and the flaps c' are turned
and fastened down with gum or suitable matter when manufacturing the wrappers-
an envelope is obtained of which the closing flap consists of two parts e c, one of
which has to be laid over and closed forward, and the other backward. The one
on the address side-and it is immaterial which side of the envelope is chosen for
the purpose will always be on the upper right side, where by the sticking of the
stamp, and the postal mark, there is obtained a quasi official closing. The back-
ward overlapping flap will not admit of the extraction of the contents of the letter
by any unauthorized person.
The importance of the invention lies less in effectively closing the envelope by
means of the stamp. (which has already been effected by other means) as in the
possible use of both sides for the address by dividing the closing flap into a forward
part and a part overlapping backward and the securing of the contents of the letter
against opening of the envelope.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. An envelope or wrapper having the two halves of equal formation; substan-
tially as set forth.
2. An envelope or wrapper having the two halves A A of which it is formed, of
equal and reverse formation, comprising double closing flaps or parts c c, and double
parts or overlaps c¹ c¹ by which the opposite sides or ends are closed and secured;
as set forth with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Lucifer-matches.
1, GUSTAV AUGUST ROSENKÖTTER of Groningen, Holland, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
In the manufacture of lucifer-matches it is the practice to fix the wood splints
in frames in which they are held at proper distances apart and when so held to tip
them with the igniting composition and otherwise manipulate them, afterwards
passing them on to several machines in succession until they are delivered in
separate quantities corresponding to the size of the boxes in which they are to be
packed, and this invention has for object to reduce the hand labour and the number
of machines or wholly do away with these latter in the manufacture of matches
from the wood splints and in the packing of the same, for which purpose the wood
splints are stuck with a sticking substance laterally by one of their ends on bands
or strips of cardboard, paper, wood, cellulose, leather, cloth or other suitable
material. The splints may be set close together on the strips or they may have
spaces between them along the strips which position on the strips they occupy all
through the manufacture and also when packed for sending away and use.
splints or matches so fixed are made up into groups or blocks of any desired size
containing the number it may be required to manipulate in a single group or block.
In making up the groups or blocks the strips alternate with the splints or matches
fixed on them so as to set these at the required distance apart for the application
of the igniting composition to their free ends and for the manufacture generally.
The match bearing strips are with the splints or matches fixed together in the form
of a block by pasting over the outer edges of the strips and the ends of the splints
or matches a sheet of cardboard paper, wood, cellulose or other suitable material.
The matches are torn from their fixed position by the user.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of any said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. For the manufacture of lucifer matches and grouping the same for packing
the method of mounting the same on bands or strips of cardboard, paper, wood,
cellulose, leather, cloth, or other suitable material substantially as described.
2. In combination with the process or operation referred to in the preceding
claim the formation of groups or blocks of match splints or matches substantially
as described and for the purpose specified.

I, GEORGE JENNINGS, of Palace Wharf, Stangate, London, S.E., Sanitary
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to blocks for insertion into the side of drain manholes,

Improvements in Cap Spindles used in Spinning and Twisting
Machinery.
1, JAMES WHITEHEAD, of No. 5, Jannetts Crescent, Otley, in the County of
York, Spinning Overlooker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-—
This invention relates to certain improvements in caps used in spinning machinery,
and has for its object the mounting of the cap on the spindle in such a manner, that,
the same is securely held in its position and incapable of being twisted round on
its spindle by the "drag" of the yarn, also to prevent the gradual descent of the
cap on the spindle, and thereby the uneven building up of the yarn on the
bobbin, as now the case with caps mounted in the ordinary manner.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood I will describe the same
by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1. is a view of a spindle and cap.
Fig. 2. a similar view the cap being in section.
Fig. 3. a sectional plan drawn to a larger scale and
Fig. 4. a plan of the spindle.
Across the top of the cap A I cut a longitudinal slot and secure therein the
strip of metal B by means of the pin C passing through the same at right angles,
thereby dividing the ordinary opening through the cap into four compartments.
The spindle D is divided at the top for a short distance into four segments D¹,
each segment fitting into one of the compartments formed in the top of the cap A,
the latter being held up in position by reason of the metal strip B resting on
the bottom of the groove E formed in the spindle D by cutting the same into
segments D'.
By these means the cap A is prevented from being twisted round on its spindle
by the "drag" or tension of the yarn, or other means, and at the same time the
ordinary wear and tear of the supporting portion of the spindle D, and cap A,
caused by the constant removal of the latter, necessitated by the changing of
bobbins and the like, is greatly reduced, and the gradual descent of the cap on
the spindle, and uneven "building up" of the yarn is entirely obviated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The means of attaching and supporting caps to spindles used in spinning and
twisting frames, substantially in the manner shewn and described.

Improvements in Apparatus for Lowering and Hoisting Ships'
Boats.
We, WILLIAM ALEXANDER and NEIL DARROCH, both of Helen Street,
Govan, in the County of Lanark, Scotland, Blockmakers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our invention consists in a novel contrivance by which the upper part of a ship's
davit, from which the boat is suspended, is projected outwards from the side of the
vessel to an extent which ensures the boat being placed on the water five or six
feet clear of the ship's side.
In the ordinary method the ship's davit, by means of the curvature at the upper
end, permits the boat to be swung out barely clear of the ship's side; but there is
no arrangement whereby the boat can be placed in the water at such a distance
from the side of the vessel as to reduce to a minimum the danger of the boat being
smashed or swamped.
The improved apparatus is a davit, the lower part of which consists of a metal
frame, Figure I. A., supported on a sliding table D, which by means of the three-
threaded screw shaft C is made to travel along the grooved platform B, the outer
end of which is flush with the side of the ship. The screw shaft C is turned by
the wheel F.
Figure I represents the davit as it will stand on the ship's deck when not
in use.
Figure II represents the davit as it will stand when a boat is being lowered by
its means into the sea.
The upper part G consisting of the curved upright and its three-sided base g. J. I.,
is hinged to the lower part at the pivot H; and by means of the toothed segmental
base K and the worm-wheel L on the shaft M, assisted by the spiral spring N it is
canted outwards to the overhanging position shewn in Figure II. The shaft M is
turned by the wheel. O which rests in the socket P and is supported by the
bracket Q.
When it is desired to lower the boat, the davit-by means of the screw
shaft C-is run out to the vessel's side, as in Fig. II., and the upper part is then
canted outwards by turning the shaft M.
Figure III is a vertical section of the improved apparatus above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The arrangement or mechanism or machinery for moving the upper part of
the davit on its pivot, projecting or drooping it outwards, and bringing it back
by means of the wheel and three-threaded screw working on the toothed segment
of the three-sided base of the upper part of the davit, working in conjunction
with the spiral spring.

I, SIDNEY HAMPDEN LOCKE of Beech Cottage Burnage Lane Withington, in
the County of Lancaster, Export Buyer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to print or weave a design in cotton or other
textile goods, in such a manner, that no trimming or trimmings are required,
other than those of the design, and the said design so printed or woven indicates
by dotted lines, how the said pinafore or blouse is to be cut out. This I
propose to do by cutting out (at a sufficient distance to allow for seaming) from
the 2 selvages A 2 & A 3 along the dotted lines b. b to the 2 points of the
shoulder at B 1 & 2, and B 3 & 4; then by cutting out the neck hole N, at
the dotted lines, the pinafore or blouse is duly shaped & ready for sewing. It
is completed by bringing the two selvages A 2 & A 3 respectively together, and
seaming up the dotted lines.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1st. That the pinafore or blouse is all in one piece (uncut).
2ndly. That the pinafore or blouse in its design, contains its own trimmings in
their proper places.
3rdly. That no shaping pattern is required to cut out by.
4thly. That it saves labour and time, both the selvages being made to come
round the bottom of the pinafore or blouse and therefore no hemming is required.
5thly. A large variety of designs can be produced upon the above principle,
without prejudice to the principle of this Patent.

Improvements connected with Wheels of Vehicles.
I, FREDRICK GRANTHAM BROUGHTON of Elmers End, Beckenham, Kent,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for object, the employment of what are known as pneumatic
or like rings next the hubs of wheels, or between the hub and a flange to which the
spokes are connected.
The rings are held in place by flanged holders provided with notches or slots, and
pins or studs to permit of rising and receding action of the wheel proper while
travelling.
Instead of spokes I may employ sheet steel stamped with irregularities at parts
where the connections have to be made.
The invention is specially adapted for bicycles and other light framed vehicles.

An Improved Press or Tool for Working Butter.
I, SARAH RIMELL of The Wolds End House, Chipping Camden, in the County
of Gloucester, Housekeeper, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention has for its object an improved press or tool for working butter by
which greater perfection is obtained in the manipulation of butter and the water &
butter milk extracted and the butter solidified more perfectly and with less labor.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect. I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I
have illustrated two views of my new butter press or worker from which other
modifications may be made without departing from the principle thereof.
Figure 1., is a perspective view of one of my presses or tools A held by the hand
in the operation of pressing the heap of butter B.
Figure 2., is a cross section of the press A shewing more particularly its
construction.
Figure 3., is an inverted plan of the press.
The press or tool A is formed by a back a' of wood or other suitable material
so as to form a foundation for the face the face a² itself being made from wood, tin
or other metal with a smooth face so that it will not adhere to the butter when
operated. It will be noticed that the part a² is formed with V-projections as of
which there may be any convenient number and corresponding V-depressions a¹.
These projections a³ may be formed solid from the timber or other material and
one with the back or from solid metal or sheet tin or other metal. The action
when in use is to press the tool A down upon the butter which forces the butter
into the recesses and presses out the water so solidifying the butter considerably
and in a simple manner without the attendants hand coming in contact therewith.
This tool may of course be made with the V-projections a³ more acute or obtuse
as desired but the effect will be similar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
The improved press or tool for working butter composed of a number of
V-projections a³ and depressions * as and for the purpose herein set forth and as
shewn upon the drawings.

An Improved Chimney Cowl.
I, WILLIAM MACLEOD MACKINNON of No. 319 Vauxhall Bridge Road in the
County of London, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a construction of chimney cowl such as to utilise the
force of the wind to promote draught of the chimney.
For this purpose I make the cowl in the form of a T tube and mount it with a
vane on it on which the wind acts so as to turn it as a vane. In the mouth of the T
which is towards the wind I fit a tube tapering to a smaller diameter inwards. The
wind blowing through this tube acts as an ejector, causing a draught up the
chimney.

1, WILLIAM MACLEOD MACKINNON of No. 319 Vauxhall Bridge Road in the
County of London, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
My invention relates to a construction of chimney cowl such as to utilise the
force of the wind to promote draught of the chimney, as I shall describe referring
to the accompanying drawing which represents diagrammatically a vertical section
of a cowl according to my invention, omitting mere structural details.
I make the cowl A in the form of a T pipe and mount it on the chimney C with
a jointing at B and an axial support of any suitable kind allowing it freedom to
revolve in obedience to the action of the wind on vane blades D fixed on the front
of the cowl. In the rear mouth which is directed towards the wind 1 fix a tube E
which tapers to a considerably smaller diameter to its mouth at F beyond the vertical
chimney flue. I prefer also to taper the front limb of the cowl to a smaller
diameter at G. The wind blowing in at E and issuing at F acts as an ejector
causing a draught up the chimney, as indicated by the arrows.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A chimney cowl of T form with a vane turning towards the wind the mouth of
an internal taper tube arranged to act as an ejector, substantially as described.

An Improved Method of Packing Lard.
I, THOMAS SINCLAIR, of Belfast, Antrim, Ireland, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Whereas the usual method of packing lard is by melting it and running it into
pails buckets tubs barrels and similar packages of an ordinary kind and then
allowing it to cool therein whereby often the lard is difficult to afterwards remove
and is apt to come out in a dirty state I line the aforesaid vessels or any of them
first with rice-paper oiled-paper or other similar material then pouring in the
melted lard. I find that by this means when the lard which has cooled down is
sought to be removed it will easily fall out in its lining by merely inverting the pail
or other vessel. Thus it comes out quite clean and ready for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-

Packing lard in a lined vessel substantially as above described.

An Improvement in Centrifugal Drying Machines.
We, GEORGE STONEHOUSE, Queen Building, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall, Flour
Mill Manager and HENRY SIMON of 20 Mount Street, Manchester, both in the
County of Lancaster, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
""
Our invention relates to centrifugal machines of the kind commonly known as
"whizzers "used for drying grain or other materials. As usually constructed, a
"whizzer
consists of a perforated drum of conical form fixed on a horizontal axis
and caused to revolve rapidly within a casing. The moist or wet grain or material
to be dried is fed in at the smaller end of the drum and after travelling along the
interior of the perforated conical surface is discharged at the larger end of the
drum in a more or less dried condition, the moisture or a portion thereof having
As it often
been ejected by centrifugal force through the perforations of the drum.
happens that much of the material, instead of travelling along the perforated
surface, falls away or is driven out too quickly at the larger end of the drum, the
drying is imperfectly effected.
"whizzer
The object of our invention is to remedy this defect, as we shall explain referring
to the accompanying drawing which is a longitudinal section of a
modified according to our invention.
A. is the conical drum usually made of perforated steel plate, and fixed on the
shaft B which is caused to revolve rapidly, by belt on pullies P or otherwise, within
a stationary casing C. The wet grain or other material is fed through the mouth
piece D into the interior of the drum at its small end and passes out at the larger
end to be discharged from the casing C by an outlet E while the moisture or
muddy matter ejected through the perforations of A is discharged by an outlet F.
Such being the construction and operation of an ordinary "whizzer," we modify
it by adding within the outer cone A an inner plate cone G which is not perforated
but, by forming an annular passage for the material, prevents any portions of it
from falling away or being driven out without passing along the perforated
surface A, so as to have its moisture thrown cut through the perforations. The
inner cone G may be parallel to the outer, as shewn in the drawing, or it be
more obtuse or more acute, and it may have fixed on it longitudinal angle iron
ribs as indicated at H, or several concentric ribs as shewn at J, to further retard
the flow of the material to be dried.
may
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
In combination with the external perforated drum of a whizzer, an internal
imperforated drum, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
