An Improvement in Flexible Metallic Tubing.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, 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 flexible metallic tubing of the kind described in the
Specification No. 9478* of 1885, which consists of a suitably corrugated strip of
metal coiled in such manner that each convolution engages with the next, packing
being introduced to prevent leakage. According to the present invention the strip-
of metal is corrugated as will be described referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is part elevation, part section of the tube. Fig. 2 is a section of one.
side of the tube to a greatly enlarged scale to shew more clearly the profile of the
corrugated strip and how the packing is applied to it.
As shewn in Fig. 2 the strip is so corrugated as to present an edge a approximately
perpendicular to the axis of the tube, a flat portion 6 parallel to the axis, again.
portions c approximately perpendicular to the axis and d parallel to the axis, a
re-entering portion e and finally an arched portion f which is filled with packing
material, preferably asbestos string. This packed arch bears upon the flat of
the next convolution, and can slide to and fro upon it to allow for flexure of the
tube. When there is considerable internal pressure in the tube the flat portions b.
are somewhat bulged outwards against the packing in frendering it more tight
against leakage.
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 :-
A flexible metallic tube consisting of a coiled strip corrugated and packed
substantially as described and shewn in the drawings.

We, GEORGE FRANCIS MELLEN of Fall River, Massachusetts in the United
States of America, Gentleman, and JOHN ERNEST SPRAGUE of No. 28 Victoria
Street, Westminster in the County of London, 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 the coupling by which a tramway car or other vehicle
is connected to a locomotive or by which one vehicle is connected to another. We
shall describe our improved coupling referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section, Fig. 2 is a front view and Fig. 3 is a
plan partly in section. A is the draw-bar provided with springs. In the head B
of the draw-bar is pivotted by means of bushes C the bull-head or guide D which
tapers out to a wide mouth so that the coupling bar E attached to the locomotive
or other vehicle can readily enter it and be guided to the position for receiving the
coupling pin F. As the bull-heads such as D have usually been fixed on the head
of the draw bar, they are liable to be damaged or to cause damage when the two
coupled vehicles make an angle with each other; by pivotting the bull head as
described it can in such case turn more or less round as indicated by the dotted
lines D' when the two vehicles are at an angle with one another.
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 :-
The combination of a spring draw bar with a bull-head or guide pivotted thereon
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Candle Holders.
1, JULIUS HELLER, of the Firm of Balduin Heller's Söhue of Teplitz, in the
Empire of Austro-Hungary, Manufacturer, 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 this invention the holder is made in three separable parts namely
the tube a, the cup and the disc c shown separately at Figures 1, 2 and 3:
respectively. The tube a is split and is provided with a bead at around its lower
edge whilst the cup has an overhanging lip bat its top, preferably also the.
disc c is slightly coned and has a stem c¹ with a screw thread at its lower end.
с
Figure 4 shows the way in which the parts are put together on a candlestick d..
The tube a is first sprung into the cup b so that the bead a' comes below the lip b¹
and the disc c is then forced down into it, the stem c¹ passing down through a
central hole in the candlestick and being secured by a nut at the bottom.
In order that the holder may be suitable for candles of different sizes the tube a
may be made of the modified form shewn at Figure 5. In this case a band e-
(Figure 6) is provided which on being forced up on the slightly conical tube-
presses the jaws inwards causing them to grip the candle. The band e may carry-
a drip guard e as shown.

Improvements in Sash-bars or Astragals for Securing and Carrying
Glass for Roofs and other Structures..
I, HARRY CLIFFORD LASSAM of 6 Kinver Road South, Sydenham London S. E.,
Architect and Surveyor 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 object is to construct a simple, cheap and waterproof roof, that will allow
repairs to be executed without danger of damaging or breaking the glass.
This I effect by means of an improved joint between the glass and sash bar,.
which may be of T iron, wood, or other suitable material, such joint being made.
without strain or pressure on the glass.
I accomplish this by means of a specially drawn lead or composition strip, with
centre core A projecting above the level of the glass, supports B. B. forming a
level bed for the glass, flanges C. C. starting from a point E, below the level of the
top of the supports B. B, and thicker at the edges to prevent warping from heat
or other causes.
The supports B. B, and flanges C. C when fixed, form a channel, which allows.
for expansion and contraction.
The flanges C. C are dressed down to the glass with a coat of adhesive material,.
and the whole is attached to the T iron by means of the flanges D. D.
Fig. 2 represents the same system as applied to a wooden astragal, being fixed.
thereto by screws, nails, or other suitable means.
A water and dust tight joint is made between the support and the glass, and
that the core forms a support to duck ladders, or other rests used in repairing such
roofs, so that the same can be easily repaired from the outside, and without danger
of breaking the glass. I further claim that the thickening of the flanges will
prevent any possible warping of the metal from heat or other causes and, that the
flanges, having their junction with the core at a point below the level of the bed,.
will allow for expansion and contraction of the glass, reducing in this manner the
possibility of rupture from that cause, and giving greater strength against strains.
from below.
Having thus particularly described my said invention, and the manner of
performing the same, I declare that the special features of my invention are,
That by means of a specially designed and drawn lead bar, of the form hereinbefore-
described, to be fitted to the astragal of wood or iron or other suitable material, a
water and dusttight joint is made as herein before described.

page_text: A is a trough turning on a hinge bolt a and resting against a bed plate B having
openings e e¹ for fastening same to the wall, C being the supply pipe common to all
the troughs and D the outlet in the trough provided with a sieve d¹. The hinge
bolt a rests in bearings d.
The bed plate B is hollowed out at G in order to form with a correspondingly
shaped part W of the trough A a hollow cylindrical space H which can be made
water-tight by laying packing c on the surfaces B' B' and in which the ends of the
supply pipes C or shorter or longer lengths of same, are inserted in such manner as
to form a water-tight coupling or connection on being pressed lever-like by the
weight of the trough and by this latter being screwed into position by screw
bolt e¹.
In this way a continuous conduit or supply pipe is formed and any one part of
which can be removed and cleaned or changed as required without having to
disturb the other parts.
To clean a trough thoroughly or repair same, it is merely necessary to unscrew
same ate and lift it off the hinge bolt a, or, when it is only required to take out
one of the pipe lengths, to unscrew the two troughs connected and raise them
sufficiently to allow of the pipe being removed.
When it is required to place the trough into position again, it is simply hooked
on to the hinge bolt a, and the packing and the ends of the pipe lengths inserted
and the whole then screwed up.
The simplicity of this arrangement enables even an unskilled person to do all
that is necessary with a minimum of trouble and time thus not only saving labor as
such but the difference in price between skilled and unskilled labor.

page_text: In my construction, the trough can be fitted at any place desired and is
removable, and no slime or froth or remains of food or any sediment whatever
can pass into the supply pipe or into the other troughs owing to the sieves at
the inlets.
The equalisation of the water-level in the different troughs in the case of unequal
use of same, being only a question of the slight quantity of water above the level of
the pipe, has not force enough to take sediment along with it.
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 :
1. An improved communicating drinking trough for cattle, consisting of a
detachable trough A, attached by a hinge bolt a or other means to a bed plate B
against which said trough rests and in such manner as to form, in connection with
shorter or longer lengths of piping, a continuous conduit, substantially as described
and shown in the drawings.
2. In an improved communicating drinking trough for cattle, a bed plate B
having a semi-circular slot G corresponding to a similar formation W in the back
of the trough for the purpose described and shown in the drawings.

These are melted together and then mixed with and dissolved in 200 parts of
spirits of turpentine.
If the finished plate is to be in one colour only, the colourless solution prepared
as described is mixed with the desired or suitable pigment or colour and is applied
as paint to one side of the plate. After drying, the coat of colour is fixed by means
of a solution consisting of the following ingredients melted together and dissolved
in acetate of amyl.
200 parts of Manilla copal.
500 parts of shellac.
12 parts of wax.
50 parts Venice turpentine.
1000 parts rosin.
50 parts guttapercha.
In cases where decorated plates having two or more colours are to be produced,
they are first covered by the colourless solution before described, after which the
printed paper, pattern, transfer, or other decorative or ornamental device is applied.
When this has thoroughly dried the ground colour may be added in the usual

The object of my invention is to form an improved method of instantaneously
releasing a blind roller fitting catch, when it is desired to lower the blind. For
this purpose I employ a pivoted lever catch similar to those already in use but
instead of threading the cord through an eyelet in the front of the lever, I attach

In order that the foregoing may be better understood I send herewith a sheet of
drawings in which is shown a side view of my improved fitting.
a indicates the blind roller pulley, cut across the centre, attached to which is
cord b which is coiled round it by the revolution of the roller upon the descent of
the blind. A pull upon this cord 6 therefore raises the blind to any desired height
where it is secured by the weighted lever catch c pivoted at d, taking in the circular
ratchet e.
At the back of the lever catch c is formed an eyelet f to which I attach
another cord g, or the other end of cord b. It is apparent that a pull upon cord g
will instantaneously raise the lever catch c, releasing circular ratchet e and allow
the blind to descend.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This is a lock in which there is no spring, but in which the latch bar, lock bar
and levers are held in position by a weight working on a pivot and which by means
of a catch which prevents the weight being lifted cannot be opened from the
outside until the catch is removed.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which:-
Figure 1. is a side elevation showing my invention showing the interior of same.
Figure 2 plan view of same.
The frame a is pivoted at b to the casing and is operated by the lift c actuated
by a handle or such like. The latch d is provided with a projection e which
engages in a recess formed in the frame a.
The dotted lines f represent the position of weighting which may consist of lead
or such.
g is a tilting lever or catch piece which is pivoted at h. is the locking
bar or bolt controlled by the tumbler j. It will be seen that the bolt i cannot be
operated when the catch piece is in the position shown. The weights of the
frame a cause the latch d to protrude.
In Figure 1. one side of the lock is removed for purposes of clearness.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:-
In latch locks of the class herein described, a pivoted frame having a recess

page_text: which engages a projection formed upon the latch, a handle & lift for operating
said pivoted frame, a pivoted catch piece or lever for locking said pivoted frame
when required; a locking bar or bolt and a tumbler or ward controlled by said

Improved Means for Utilizing the Heat Given Off from Brick
Burning Kilns.
I, FREDERICK BALLARD of Colwall near Malvern, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The ordinary brick burning kiln is built of bricks with fire holes, baffle walls &
arch, the air feeding the fires being the ordinary atmosphere which is allowed free
ingress or is retarded by "kiln doors" placed in front of the fires as required, the
air being unaltered as regards temperature or dryness.
My invention consists of an ordinary kiln with an arrangement for utilizing the
heat given off the kiln externally and thus assist in maintaining the heat of the
kiln. The kiln having two arches or a double covering, with an air space between,
apertures being formed on either side to allow free ingress of cold air which will
circulate over the kiln in the space mentioned & be directed by a division of the
air space, becoming heated & descending by suction to the firing holes, thus feeding
the fires with warmed air. This will not only economise the fuel used but will
prevent the sudden inrush of cold air to the kiln which retards the progress of the
burning & is injurious to the contents of the kiln.

Improvements in the Cutters of Ditching Machines.
I, ODILON BALTZAR HANNIBAL HANNEBORG, of Urskoug, in the Kingdom
of Norway, Estate Owner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement.:-
My invention relates to the spiral cutters of machines for ditching or making
drains or other trenches such for instance as that described in the Specification of
my former Letters Patent No. 20955 of 1891.
According to my invention I form such cutters of a sharp-edged screw or worm
having a thread of increasing pitch whereby the stones and clods of earth cut
away by the lower part of the said screw are prevented from adhering thereto or
clogging therein.
The accompanying drawing represents an elevation of a cutter for a ditching
machine constructed according to my invention.
a is the screw constituting my improved cutter such screw having a pitch which
increases from below upwards in order that the earth, during the ditching, shall
not become pressed into a compact mass and that large stones shall be prevented
from becoming fixed or jammed as they are being lifted by the screw. The thread
of the screw is formed with a sharp edge in order that it shall readily cut into the
soil as it is revolved, and at its lower end it is advantageously supported on a steel
pivot b which is hollow in order that oil from a lubricating cup a¹ may enter
through a shoe c supporting the pivot and always keep the foot-bearing
lubricated. The shoe is preferably shaped like a plough share at d so as to cut
the bottom of the trench to the required shape.
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 spiral cutter for ditching machines having its thread formed with an
increasing pitch from the lower end upwards in order that the earth or soil
cut away by the screw shall not clog the same, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
2. The manufacture and use of spiral cutters for ditching machines, substantially
as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

An Improvement in Oil Lamps.
We, JAMES PAUL, and JOHN THOMSON PAUL, both of Grove Works,.
Edinburgh, in the County of Midlothian, North Britain, Lamp Manufacturers, 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 an improvement in oil lamps, and consists in fixing to
the collar on which the burner rests a spring, thus more securely retaining the
burner in position.
As will be seen from the accompanying drawing, A is the collar, and B the
spring, one end c of which is fixed to the collar, while the other end d is loose.
When the burner is being placed on the collar A it depresses the end d of the
spring B, and when the burner is in position the end d of the spring presses up.
against it, and so keeps it in its proper position. The pin e prevents the spring-
from being depressed too much.
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 :-
In oil lamps, the spring for more securely retaining the burner in its proper-
position, substantially as described and shown on the accompanying drawing.
