Improvements in Braces.
I, HENRY HARINGTON LEIGH, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E., Fel. Ch. Inst. P.A.,
F.I. Inst. practising as Phillips and Leigh at No. 22 Southampton Buildings,
Chancery Lane, in the City of London, Engineer and 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:-
The present invention relates to improvements in braces and the object of it is
to produce braces more convenient and hygienic than those hitherto in use. With
this end in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and
combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in
the claim.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, I proceed to describe the
same referring to the accompanying drawing which illustrates a pair of braces
made according to the present invention.
The improved braces consist of one back strap a and two shoulder straps b, the
said back strap and shoulder straps being connected with one another by means of
an arc-shaped intermediate piece c, preferably made of leather. The latter must
be of such a form that when using the improved braces, the strain or weight shall
act and rest, not upon the shoulders only, but also upon the back-bone, terminating
at the neck of the wearer, whereby a far better distribution of the strain or weight
is obtained. It is the peculiar form of the intermediate piece c which secures the
said uniform distribution of the strain or weight exerted by the trousers depending
from the braces in question and which makes the latter nearly imperceptible to the
wearer, advantages which can not he obtained by any other braces, in which the
intermediate or connecting piece or the shoulder straps respectively form an acute
angle with one another.
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 :-
The hereindescribed braces the back strap and shoulder straps of which are
connected with one another by means of an intermediate arc-shaped piece (c),
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improved Cover for Hermetically Sealing Receptacles.
We, CARL AUGUST KALESS, of No. 8 Niemanustrasse, Mechanician, and
GUSTAV HANSEN, of 2 Fostweg, Engineer, both of Harburg, in the German
Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention relates to covers for hermetically sealing receptacles and has
for its object the construction of such a cover for bottles, tins, and other
receptacles, so as to be easily detached therefrom and cheap to manufacture.
This invention consists essentially in an open gripping ring, the ends of which
are drawn together by a screw or lever arrangement, engaging around a cover.
This ring may, if desired, be provided with a rubber ring or any other means to
make a good air tight joint, and an annular or similar projection which enters
into a corresponding groove on the rim of the receptacle.
In order that our invention may be the better understood we now proceed to
describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters
and figures marked thereon.
Figures 1 illustrates a vertical section through a receptacle provided with our
cover, and
Figure 2 is a front view thereof.
The cover b, provided with an elastic cord or ring b' to make the rim more
airtight, is placed over the receptacle .
In order to secure the cover & safely, a gripping device such as an open ring,
preferably made of metal, is applied and pressed with its projection e into the
corresponding groove d of the receptacle a. The ring c has a cylindrical pro-
jection i which extends beyond the groove d. An arrangement equivalent in
function to the above cau be substituted for that described after the cover b has
been thus placed into position, the ends of the ring c are screwed together by
ineans of a collar 9 and a screw spanner, the collar 7 being formed with right and
left screw-threaded pins, so that the cover b is safely closed.
In order to take off the cover l, it is only necessary to loosen the ends of the
ring c by the rotation of the collar g when the ring c and the cover b may be
removed in order to open the receptacle and to render the interior of the latter
easily accessible.
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:-
An hermetically closing cover for receptacles, consisting of an open gripping
ring c adapted to engage around a cover provided with means for making the
joint airtight, the ring being arranged to be tightened about the rim of the
receptacle by a screw device f g or other similar arrangement and provided with
a rim which enters into a correspondingly formed rim or recess on the receptacle.

I, WILLIAM HENRY BLACKWELL, of Wooburn Green, near Maidenhead,
Buckinghamshire, Grocer, 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 wheels for cycles and other
vehicles the object being to provide within the wheel and between the hub and the
tyre (or road surface) curved spokes which will afford resilience and elasticity
thereby facilitating the progress of the cycle or vehicle, rendering the riding more

Improvements in or relating to Driving Chain Cleaning Devices.
I, CHARLES DE SORBEIN of 19 Rue de Berlin, Brussels in the Kingdom of
Belgium, Secretary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of the present invention is a brush for cleaning the cycle-chain and
removing from it any dirt, mud or dust, which very often disturb good working of
the chains by making them less flexible, thus preventing good engagement between
the teeth of the chain-wheels and the chain links and so making the riding more
difficult.
In the main, the cleaning is effected by a brush fixed to the wheel frame and
sliding over the chain. But such arrangement does not work well if an ordinary
brush is employed, as it does not remove greasy sticky dirt from the chain links.
If on the contrary the brush is continuously supplied with oil, petroleum, benzine
or the like, its action is perfectly thorough.
and
In the accompanying drawing
Figure
represents in vertical section a brush supplied in the above manner,
Figure 2 two constructions of the same applied to a cycle chain.
N is an oil cup having at its bottom a suitably formed projection A which holds
the bristles B sliding over the chain. The oil falls drop by drop into the bristles
through a hole in the projection A, and the oil supply can be regulated by a valve V
carried by a rod S which normally automatically closes the hole by the action of a
spring F
The brush thus arranged is inserted into a sleeve H the latter being secured to.
one of the frame rods by a ring-yoke Z at a necessary distance that is to say so.
that the brush slides freely on the chaiu K. This is the arrangement shown in
Figure 2 for the upper part of the chain and it is clear that the oil-cup tending to-
sink in the sleeve H always maintains the brush in contact with the chain.
This figure shows another construction applied to the lower chain-half. In it.
the oil cup N has a side lug L which by its lower angle swings on a block T
secured to one of the rods of the fork, which block keeps the brush B in contact.
with the chain by a small pressure-spring D. As the saturated brush dissolves.
even the stiffest dirt and at the same time brushes it, the chain is always.
maintained clean and, by the use of more or less greasy substances, more flexible
than usual.
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 :-
A driving chain cleaning device comprising a brush such as B mounted in a.
sleeve such as H or swinging on a supporting block such as T which is attached
to a cycle frame so that the brush may slide over the chain; this brush being
supplied with oil, petroleum, benzine or the like from a cup N to which it is
connected substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings..

Winchester, in the County of Hants, Saddle and Harness Maker, 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 for improvements in saddles relates to side saddles and has for
its object to keep the saddle perfectly straight on the back of the animal and'
prevent its getting pulled in at the withers and back in consequence of the rider
sitting too much on one side; and consists essentially in passing the stirrup leather
through a channel in the front of the seat of the saddle in which it slides, and
connecting it through balance straps and a self adjusting connection with the girth.
in such manner that the pull on the stirrup leather passes through the girth and is
equally distributed on both sides of the saddle.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings:-Fig. 1 is an elevation of the off side-
of a side saddle constructed according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is an elevation.
of the near side of the same.
The stirrup leather a passes over a series of rollers 6 arranged in a channel in
the front of the seat c of the saddle and is connected to a round piped strap d itself
connected to or forming a part of two balance straps e, f secured to the front and
back of the off side of the saddle respectively, as shown. The piped strap d passes.
through the two bifurcated arms of a cradle link y connected to the girth and
having runner rollers i to permit of its running freely along the strap d in order to.
automatically adjust itself in any required position.
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 :-
1. In a side saddle, connecting the stirrup leather to the girth through an
intermediate strap connected to or forming a part of balance straps secured to the

I, JULIUS HAUFF, of Chemical Manufactory, Feuerbach, near Stuttgart,
Germany, 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:-
On occasion of my experimenting upon the developing power of amido substituted
paramidophenols and paradiamines, I found that orthoamidophenols could also be
used as a developer, if the hydrogen atoms of the NH 2 group were replaced by
alkyles.
Further experiments in this direction show, that mono-alkylised orthoamido-
phenols in particular, and also the carboxyalkylised orthoamidophenols derived
from it, are photographic developers of superior quality.
The distinctive property of these developers is, that they develop the latent
picture moderate quickly and produce like as pyrogallic acid negatives of fine or
tender grain and brownish black silver precipitate.
Still more remarkably is the effect of the amido substituted o-amidophenols in
their molecular combinations with hydroquinone and pyrocatechin. These
additional combinations show in solutions with alkalis not only a much greater
durability, but they possess also a much greater developing power than their
components. This is also the case when using the combinations of hydroquinone
and pyrocatechine with the simple o-amidophenols.
:
Therefore, for the development of the latent photographic picture the following
amido substituted.o-amidophenols shall be used:
I. Mono-alkylised o-amidophenols of the combination
alkyl-o-amido-substitution products:
1. of the phenol,
2. of the cresols,
3. of the xylenols,
4. of the naphthols;
- OH (1)

viz.: the

as also their C 1-, Br-, J-, OH-, NH 2-derivatives and their carbo- and sulpho-
acids.
II. Carboxyalkylised o-amidophenols of the combination
(1)
- OH
NHRCOOH (2)
-
(R=CnH,n), viz. the carboxyalkylamido-substitution products:
:
1. of the phenol,

Improvements in Drying Peat.

Improvements in Drying Peat.
I, AUGUST SCHOENEMANN, Factory Owner, of 12 Hessische Strasse, Berlin, in.
the Empire of Germany, 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 special nature of the raw peat and the large amount of contained water
entirely prevent its being dried by simply pressing out the water. Drying in the
open air is dependent upon the weather and takes much too long a time. Drying
in heating apparatuses is too expensive and unremunerative.
This invention has for its object a new process differing essentially from previous.
methods. The raw peat is first put into receptacles or tubs provided with stirrers,
in which it is reduced by the free addition of water to a thin fluid pap or pulp.
From these tubs, by means of pumps, the peat pulp is pumped into filtering
chambers. When the chambers are completely filled with pulp air is pumped in
and the mass subjected to a high air pressure, which may be raised to about.
20 atmospheres. The air pressure removes not only all the water added in the.
mixing tubs but also about half of the original liquid contents of the raw peat...
The cakes of peat formed in the chambers fall out on lifting the chambers and
can then be further treated according to the purposes for which they are to.
be used.
Instead of air pressure, a vacuum can be used for the drying. With this object,.
the peat is placed in so-called vacuum-filters. These consist of an upper and a.
lower chamber, the two being separated by a grid on which is placed the filtering
medium. After the peat is placed in the upper chamber a vacuum is produced in
the lower chamber by means of an air pump or otherwise, so that the liquid contents.
of the peat are forced out through the filtering partition by means of the pressure
of the atmosphere.
When bogs are to be dealt with which contain peat already in the form of pap
or pulp, the stirring vats for preparing the pulp are not needed. The pulpy
natural peat is pumped direct into the filtering chambers and the liquid contents.
removed by air pressure or vacuum.
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. The improved process for drying peat consisting in reducing the peat by the
addition of water to a pap or pulp, pumping the pulp into filtering chambers, and
subjecting it therein to the action of air pressure, whereby the larger part of the
water is pressed out through the filtering partitions.
2. The improved process for drying peat consisting in reducing the peat by the
addition of water to a pap or pulp pumping the pulp into filtering chambers and
subjecting it to the action of a vacuum whereby the larger part of the water is
drawn out through the filtering partition.

State
The axle is fitted, in the usual way, with a capsule b. The latter is fitted with a
collar 6 which serves to receive a spring d, and into which a cover c, put over
the capsule, is inserted.
At the anterior end, the axle a and capsule b are fitted with corresponding slots,
into which an adjusting bolt e can be inserted. This adjusting bolt is provided with an
augular slot g, which corresponds with a transversal slot in the axle a and
capsule b.
In order to secure the connection, a fore-lock or pin f is inserted into this slot h,
which pin fis provided with an incision, corresponding with the shape of slot g. In order
to be able to introduce this pin f, it is necessary to raise the adjusting bolt e a little,
so that the head of-the fore-lock or pin can be passed through the horizontal part
of slot g in the adjusting bolt. If the latter is now dropped, the vertical part of
slot g will catch into the incision of the pin, whereby the pin is held fast in its
position. In order to prevent any accidental raising of the adjusting bolt, the latter
is provided with a notch e' which, when the adjusting bolt is pushed home,
is just above the capsule b. While in this position, the cover c is forced,
by the pressure of spring d, into the notch e', whereby the adjusting bolt is
retained in its position and prevented from shifting through concussions while
the wheels are running. In order to disengage the connection, it will be
requisite, in the first place, to push back the cover c, sufficiently far to disengage
it from notch e, whereupon the bolt e should be raised, after which the pin f
can be withdrawn. In the case of carts with bars connecting the axles, these
bars may be fixed to a projection of the adjusting bolts, in all other cases
it will be expedient to prevent the complete withdrawal of the bolts e by
nuts or the like, fitted to their lower ends, so as to obviate any needless removal of
the cover c.
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 :-
An appliance for securing wheel-axles, characterised by a slot a in the
axle, and the bolt e, to be inserted into it and the capsule b which is put
over the axle in the usual way, which bolt e is held fast in position by a
pin f, which by means of an incision of suitable form, catches into an angular

page_text: slot of the bolt e, so as to render any withdrawal or dropping out of the bolt e
impossible unless it is first raised a little, while at the same time, when the
connection is duly made, the bolt is held down in a depressed position by
a shifting cover c, or the like.

statement :-
My improvement relates to rock drills with air or steam actuated piston valves.
According to my invention I construct a piston valve with radial wings in the
annular spaces which form the air or steam passages in the valves. By this"
improvement a back pressure is brought to bear on the valve which keeps the valve
against the valve face.
The accompanying drawings clearly shew the nature of my invention. Fig. 1 is
a longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a transverse section and Fig. 3 is a plan. The
lettering employed in each figure refers to identical parts.
A represents the said valve with radial wings B the valve box or case, C the
cover of the said valve box or case, D the bolts for securing the said covers E is a
portion of the rock drill cylinder. F the two exhaust communications from the
said valve box to the said cylinder. G the grooves or recesses formed in the said
valve, H the air or steam passages in the said cylinder and I the main exhaust
passage in the said cylinder.
It will now be clearly seen from reference to the accompanying drawings that on
air or steam being introduced to operate the said rock drill the air or steam leaking
to the ends of the said valve A along the grooves or recesses G reciprocates the
said valve A in accordance with the covering or uncovering of the ends of the
said communication F caused by the main rock drill piston in its reciprocating
movement.
It will also be seen on reference to the accompanying drawings more particularly
to Fig. 2 that the said valve A provided with the radial wings or arms effectually
prevents loss of air or steam passing around the said valve A to the inlet and
exhaust passages H and I.

page_text: 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. The use of radial wings or arms in an air or steam actuated rock drill valve
substantially as herein described and illustrated.
2. An air or steam actuated rock drill valve provided with radial wings or
arms with leakage grooves or recesses substantially as herein described and
