I, HENKY DEAN of 61 Old Road Heaton Norris, Stockport, Millwright and
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 has for its object to produce an adjustable tripod head, for use
with Photographic Cameras and other instruments; which, while being readily adapted
to uneven ground shall be efficient, light and simple in construction, and at the
same time the instrument shall be rigidly maintained at the angle to which it may be
adjusted.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which Figure 1 is a sectional elevational view
of the device according to my invention, and Figure 2 is a plan of same.
The device according to my invention consists of a plate A of thin metal
surrounded by a flange or wall a upon which are formed or secured a number of
lugs Beach carrying a pin b. The lugs B aforesaid are, in number, preferably six,
and are disposed in three pairs, each pair being devised to take the split end of one of
the legs of the tripod. The upper surface of the middle portion of the head A is
stamped, cast or otherwise formed convex or spherical as shown, and has a hole c
provided centrally therein for the purpose hereinafter described. Upon the convex
portion of the plate A rests a concave disc C which is free to move thereon to any
desired angle. Said disc C which is screwed or otherwise secured to the bottom D of
a camera or other instrument is provided centrally with a tapped hole, in which takes
a milled headed screw E having a flange d, somewhat larger than the hole c in the
convex part of the head A.
From the foregoing it will be seen on reference to the drawings that the com-
bination of the disc Cand convex plate A forms a universal joint, hence the instrument
to which is fixed the disc C may be moved in any direction and to any convenient
angle to compensate for irregularity or unevenness of the ground upon which the

page_text: tripod is placed, with the additional advantage that inasmuch as the concave disc and
convex plate present large surfaces, perfect stability is ensured when the parts are
tightened by means of the screw E.
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 :-
First. The improved tripod head applicable for use with Photographic Cameras and
other instruments substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.
Second. In a tripod the employment of a convex head substantially as and for
the purposes herein set forth.
Third. The combination with a convex tripod head of a concave disc secured to
the bottom of a Photographic Camera or other instrument, said convex head and
concave disc forming a universal joint substantially as and for the purposes herein
described and shown.

page_text: I, CHARLES WELLS, of No. 115, Great Titchfield Street, in the County of Middlesex,
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 :-
According to my invention, I use petroleum or some other oil for the purpose of
heating a chamber. When smokeless burners are used, a flue may be dispensed with,
but when the combustion is not perfect, a flue is necessary to take off the products of
combustion.
This chamber is under a cylinder, or communicates with a cylinder containing a
piston.
There is, therefore, one working stroke to four strokes of the piston; or one working
stroke to two revolutions of the shaft.
In order that my invention, and the means by which the same is to be carried into
practical effect, may be thoroughly understood, I will now describe them in detail,
referring in so doing to the accompanying drawing which is to be taken as part of this
specification and read therewith. It is intended to give an illustration of one method
of carrying my invention into effect, but the invention is not confined to the particular
arrangement illustrated.
A is the cylinder: B, the piston; 0, the chamber heated by petroleum ;
and D, D', the supply and exhaust valves respectively.
E is a petroleum heater adapted to impart the necessary quantity of heat to the
atmospheric charge within the chamber during a cycle.
The cycle of operation is as follows: 1. Air is drawn into the chamber: 2. The air
is compressed: 3. The air expands through the action of the heat: 4. The air is
exhausted after having acted on the piston.

page_text: 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 combination of one cylinder and piston communicating with one or more
chambers heated by petroleum and acting according to the cycle above mentioned,
substantially as described.

deodorizing elements of the compound are put into action preferably by placing it in
the water-ianks of the water systems of dwelling houses, buildings, &c., and from
which the water-closet and urinal bowls are supplied with water and thus charging the
water therewith preparatory to its distribution through the bowls, secure their
disinfection. The compound however, may be placed in the bowls in any suitable
way for the water as distributed through them to run in contact with it.
The compound is thoroughly disinfecting and deodorizing and also very serviceable
and useful for washing and cleaning painted and varnished surfaces and being a
solid and hard or stony as described its absorption by water when placed therein,
as for illustration, as has been described, is comparatively slow but yet sufficiently
rapid for all practical purposes.
Again the compound is serviceable for hospitals and all other sanitary uses and also
for the preservation of meat.

An Improved Device for Fixing Vertically Adjustable Chimney
Holders in their Elevated Position when Lighting Lamps
I, AUGUST KIESOw, of Mönkedamm, No. 5, Hamburg 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
:-
This invention relates to a new or improved device for fixing vertically adjustable
chimney holders in their elevated position for the purpose of facilitating the lighting
of lamps by dispensing with the removal of the chimney and the globe or shade.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, in which like letters denote analogous
parts,
Fig. 1. is a vertical section of the lamp mechanism showing the chimney holder
with chimney in its normal position and the improved device in side view.
Fig. 2. is a front view of the corresponding position of the elevating device, and
Fig. 3 shows the position occupied by the improved mechanism while the chimney
holder is elevated.
The chimney holder A is raised and lowered in the usual manner by means of rack
bar a rigidly attached thereto and actuated by piniou 6 through key c.
To allow the chimney holder to be retained in its elevated position until the lamp
has been lighted, the moving mechanism (a b) is provided with the following new and
peculiar contrivance.
Rack bar a has at its lower end a peculiarly shaped notch as shown by e
Figs. 2 and 3, the axis of which is placed at a right angle to the axis of the other
notches in said rack bar. The pinion b has a corresponding tooth f occupying with
When the
its axis a vertical position to its radial axis, and fitting closely into notch e.
tooth catches into the notch e in the highest position of the chimney holder, the
latter, on releasing the key c, cannot descend by its own gravity but is firmly held in
position, by aid of the nozzle e¹, determining the notch e, and preventing the spontaneous
retrograde movement of pinion b, consequently the chimney holder can only be lowered
by turning key c.
When the chimney holder is lowered, rack bar a and pinion 6 occupy relatively the
position shown in Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is :
In lamp burners with chimney holders vertically adjustable by means of rack bar
and pinion, the application, for the purpose of fixing the chimney holder in its highest
position for lighting the lamp, of a notch e provided in the rack bar b and being with
its axis vertical to the axes of the other notches of the rack bar, in combination
with the correspondingly placed hook-shaped tooth f of the pinion b, the whole
substantially as illustrated and described.

CHARLES THOMAS GANN, 3, Hugon Road Wandsworth Bridge Road Fulham S.W.
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 Valve consists of a brass cylinder, tapered at one end, with a projecting lug
to hold the fulcrum. Inside the cylinder is a piston & rod, the outside end of rod
being attached to end of ball lever, & is actuated by the rising & falling of the
water, between the inner surface of piston & end of cylinder there is a perforated
seating, at the edge of which a groove is turned for attaching an India Rubber
Washer, on the opposite side of perforated seating there is a water space, & outlet.
When the water level falls the lever upon which ball is fixed, thrusts in the piston,
this leaves a space between seating & piston for the water to rush in, the piston
being between the main & the seating. When cistern or tank is full the Ball Lever
(actuated by the Ball, & the pressure of water on the outside surface of piston) pulls
or draws the inner surface of piston, up against india rubber washer on outside
surface of perforated seating, the perforations being within the circle formed by the
aforesaid india rubber washer, therefore the entrance to outlet is completely &
instantaneously cut off.

We EDWARD WILSON, chemist, and EDWIN BROWNRIGG WOOD, Physician, both of
128 Holloway Head, Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
In connection with our invention we employ a piece of paper or other similar
substance cut to any shape or configuration, preference being given to that paper in
commerce known as parchment paper because it is nonporous.
One surface of the paper (or other substance) bears a suitable design and printed
matter describing and directing the use of these papers, while the reverse surface is
prepared or coated with a substance or combination of substances which is more
tenacious and effective to its purpose (the securing of the fly or insect) than hitherto
employed.
We will describe the combination of this tenacious or adhesive substance (which is
essentially our invention) and about the component parts:
Bird Lime 20 parts, Bisulphide of Carbon 3 parts, Methylated spirits 15 parts,
Castor oil 12 parts, Canada balsam 8 parts.
The object in using nonporous paper, or other nonporous substances is to prevent
permeation from the surface upon which the adhesive substance is laid, to the surface
bearing the design and printed matter, this side being handled would be very objec-
tionable.
In conclusion we would observe that we do not limit ourselves to the precise details
herein given and set forth as we may vary in some degree under conditions the
quantities of parts of the composition we have above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1st. The combination of Bird lime, Bisulphide of Carbon, Methylated spirit, Castor
oil, Canada balsam, as a composition of a tenacious or adhesive character for the
purpose hereinbefore described and set forth.
2nd. The application of the said Composition to parchment paper, or other sub-

Improvements in Files.
I, JOSEPH MILLS of Essex Works, Scotland Street, Sheffield in the County of
York, Cutlery Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN FILES" and in what manner the same is to he performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
66
This Invention relates to Improvements in the method of attaching files of almost
every description to their backs and handles, and consists of a file without a tang
at the one end but having cut out at the centre of the reverse end a half circle, each
end of the said file being bevelled.
The file back may be made of cast or forged steel, iron or other suitable material,
made any length breadth and thickness, having a tang with a screw thread at the
end, to receive a small screw cap. The forward end is thicker than the remaining
portion; through which passes a taper pin, the top part is tapped with a screw
thread to receive a small nut and cross handle, or this back may be constructed
without cross handle in cases of light work.
To secure the file at the handle end to its back, I cast or forge a steel band or
collar which is passed over the tang on to the end of the file before the handle to the
back is put on.
In attaching the file to the back the nut of the pin at the forward end is loosened
to allow it to drop a little so that the end of the file having the half circle piece cut
out may fit round the pin; the strap or collar is then placed over the tang end of the
back covering the bevelled edge of the file, and to secure the whole firmly in com-
bination the handle and file is held in position by means of the sunall screw cap, and
the nut at the forward end is screwed down bringing the file solid with the back.
The chief features of this invention are that the files are not required so thick and
they can be reversed, or new ones replaced when broken or worn out, also that more
weight can be added by the back, and that it is much easier to work with, having the
small crossi handle at the forward end thereof particularly when filing hot iron, as
it protects the hands from the heat.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention, the same letters of reference
apply to the different views.
Fig. 1 is a plan of the file shewing the half circle A cut out and bevelled edges B.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the file back C and handle D shewing screw cap E, also strap
or collar F and small cross handle G.
Fig: 3 is a side shewing the file A in position with taper pin H dotted and small
nut I for liberating it.
Fig. 4 is a cross section of strap or collar F.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation of Fig. 4.
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
--
Firstly Improvements in files and file backs in combination, the file having no
tang but is held to the back by means of bevelled ends and a loose collar.
Secondly-In file backs having a small cross handle at the forward end. also a

ISABELLE CAVE BROWN CAVE (Lady Cave) Rotherwood Ashby de la Zouche do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
--
This invention is comprised of a piece of perforated zinc forming the shape of a
horse shoe to which the flowers are attached. Round the edges of the zinc runs a
piece of wire over which the same are turned. By this means the edges of the
zinc become raised according to the thickness of the wire. On the outer edge near
toe on both sides of the shoe, is a fastening consisting of a piece of tin being
doubled loosely round the wire running through the edges of the zinc. The ends
of the tin are rolled round, and are about an of an inch from the zinc. There
are also two more of these fastenings at the clip ends of the shoe. These fastenings
work backwards and forwards.
On the inner edge of the shoe at top is fixed a piece of tin which is bent upwards
for the purpose of making a support.
There is also a plain piece of tin of exactly the same size and shape as the perforated
zinc, having also raised edges with a ring at top on the outer edge.
The plain part of this tin is placed against the raised edges of the perforated zinc,
the inner edge fastens into the support referred to above.
The fastenings are then worked forward and by this means the tin becomes fastened
to the zinc which is meant to preserve the table cloth from scratches.

Improvements in Breeches, Specially Adapted for Bicycle or other
Cycle Riders or like Purposes.
I, ALBERT WILLIAM SPENCER of 124 Boyson Road Walworth, London 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 and accompanying Drawing
This Invention relates to Improvements in Breeches or riding Trowsers especially
adapted for the use, wear and comfort of Bicycle or other Cycle riders or for other
similar or like purposes and to give and ensure comfort and convenience to such
users.
This I propose to effect in the following manner,-I make a pair of Breeches or
riding Trowsers of any suitable material or substance and in shape or form as is now
commonly worn, but at the lower portion or extremity of same, I open up on each
side of the calf or leg portion of the fabric or material to a suitable extent, and then
insert and stitch or secure therein in the opening or space thus formed an elastic
piece of webbing, which may be of a like or similar colour to that of the material or
substance of which the Breeches are made with, or if desired for Clubs or Professional
use for riders, may be of a different and distinct colour therefrom. In the insertion
of the said elastic-webbing side pieces I form same of tongue or gusset shape tapering
from the lower or calf portion of the leg toward the Knee, and thus keeping the
Legs of the wearers Breeches in position and dispensing with straps, buckles,
buttons, hooks or other fastenings and the trouble thereof.
In the accompanying Drawing Figure 1, exhibits a front view of a pair of
Breeches or Trousers in which it will be seen that at the lower portion of each Leg,
a tongue or tapered gusset piece of elastic webbing is placed and inserted in the
opening or space provided in the said garment both on the inner and outer portions
of same, as in manner before described, and shewn by the shaded lines indicative of
same.
Figure 2, is a side view corresponding to that of Figure 1, in which the tongue or
tapered gusset piece of elastic webbing is in like manner shewn.
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 1
claim is :-
"Inserting and securing a tongued or gusset or like shaped piece of elastic
webbing on the inner and outer extremities of each leg of of riding Breeches or
Trowsers for the special use comfort and convenience of Bicyclists or other Cyclists
and users in manners substantially as herein illustrated and described."

An Improved Flux for Coating Iron or Steel with Copper and for
Welding Copper.
I, HENRY HANFORTH CHANDLER of Laura in the Province of South Australia,
Carpenter do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "AN IMPROVED FLUX
FOR COATING IRON OR STEEL WITH COPPER AND FOR WELDING COPPER" 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 my Invention is to provide a simple and effective flux for coating
iron or steel with copper and for welding copper. I am aware that borax and com-
pounds containing borax have been used for this purpose but have discovered a
cheaper article and one which gives better results.
The Flux which I employ is carbonate or sulphate of lime in a finely divided state
(i.e. common marble or calc spar or gypsum) either separately or mixed together.
The iron or steel to be coated with copper having been raised to welding heat is
covered with the flux in any usual manner and may then be dipped in molten copper.
Or sheet copper may be placed upon it and both be afterwards raised to welding
point. Similarly copper raised to welding heat and covered with the flux may be
welded together.
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 :-
In the process of coating iron or steel with copper or welding copper the application
of a flux composed of carbonate or sulphate of lime in a finely divided state either
separately or mixed together.
