Improvements in Ratchet and other Drill Holders.
I, WILHELM CARL CHRISTIAN MARX MEIER, Forge Master, of 46, Grossflecken,
Neumunster, 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:—
My invention relates to improvements in ratchet and other drill holders whereby
the inconvenience occasioned, in the use of holders as at present whereby after or
before the completion of the drilling of the hole the holder falls from position is
entirely obviated, and my invention consists in certain means for binding the holder
to the part or article to be drilled.
a
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is
front elevation of the drill holder as applied to a girder for drilling the web, while
Figures 2 and 3 are respectively end and front elevation of a modification applied to
a girder for drilling the top or bottom plate.
In carrying my invention into effect when designing a holder for drilling the web
plate of a girder as illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings I provide a holder b with
its upper extremity diverted at right angles to its vertical part, and with a lip at its
lower extremity of such a size and shape as to embrace the edge of the plate of the
girder while its lower extremity is also diverted at right angles to its vertical part
and a complementary part engages the opposite edge of the girder by means of a
hook shaped extremity, a binding screw c being provided, and a set screw d for firmly
and rigidly securing in position.
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a modification in which the holder is applied for drilling
upon the upper or lower plates, and consists of a bracket 6 having its extremity
diverted at right angles to its vertical part, and its lower extremity of hook shape for
engaging with one edge of the plate, while a complementary part having a
corresponding hooked extremity engages the opposite edge of the plate, and the one
is bound to the other and each to the plate by means of a screw c, while a set screw d
is applied at the upper extremity of the complementary part for firmly and rigidly
securing the one to the other.
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 ratchet or other drill holder for application to and use upon girders, joists,
and other figured iron consisting of two parts embracing the iron and securing by
means of a binding screw as c, and set screw as d substantially as hereinbefore
described.
2. Improvements in ratchet and other drill holders, substantially as and

Improvements in Ovens applicable for Baking Drying, Evaporating
and similar purposes.
I, ARTHUR GUY ENOCK of Lupton Street, Brecknock Road, London, Bakery
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows.-
This invention relates primarily to improvements in bakers' ovens, but is also
applicable for ovens drying tea or other articles evaporating fruit dessicating, and
similar purposes.
It is designed to provide an oven which will combine the advantages arising from
heating both by means of steam pipes and hot air.
It consists essentially in constructing the oven with steam tubes, and also with
flues leading from the same furnace into the interior of the oven, so that the flash
Bush heat and steam heat may both be applied thereto.
In carrying out the invention I construct the oven, which may be of the peel pull
or draw plate type or other ordinary type, with steam tubes or pipes leading from the
furnace into the oven below the sole or below the draw plate, as the case may be,
and preferably with another set of steam tubes in the crown of the oven, the tubes
in the crown being built in. From the sides of the furnace I lead flues into the
front of the oven, through which the furnace gases can pass into the interior. These
Blues are controlled by dampers, and may be placed either under the sole, through
the side walls or over the top or crown, the furnace being placed at the back or
sides as found most convenient.

Improvements in Acetylene Gas Generators.
We, JOSEPH MÜCKE and JOHANNES MÜCKE, both of 14, Holzmarkt Strasse, Berlin,
Germany, 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 :-
The present invention relates to a device in connection with acetylene-gas-
generators, according to which any action of the residue from the calcium carbide on
the metal or like parts of the apparatus is prevented.
In carrying out our invention we place the calcium-carbide in a bag, drum or
similar device S, as shown in the accompanying drawing, which device is arranged
in the reservoir. The bags or their respective partitions preferably consist of any
suitable finely woven fabric, and are closed at their upper ends. The bags are
only partly filled with calcium carbide in order to attain a good production
of gas.
By means of this device a perfectly clean production of acetylene-gas is attained
so that the water which serves for the production will remain quite clear. It is
evident that the gas produced in such manner will give a light which is considerably
more intense and white than hitherto.
The residues which are accumulated in the fabric or like bags may easily be
removed and do not come in any contact with the metal parts of the apparatus so
that the same are protected from being destroyed or damaged.
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 :-
Apparatus for generating acetylene gas from calcium carbide and water having the
calcium carbide contained in bags drums or similar devices made of any suitable
finely woven fabric or substance, such bags drums or the like being conveniently
arranged in the reservoirs of the apparatus substantially as described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Soap Tablets.
We, HENRY HARRIS, of Tower Works, Upper Highgate Street, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Managing Director, and H. HARRIS SONS & Co. LTD.,
of same address, Soap Manufacturers, 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:―
Our invention has for its object Improvements in the manufacture or soap
tablets which will be found to be a more convenient form for use and much easier
to hold and also better adapted for moulding and cheaper to manufacture.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and easily carried into
practical effect we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which we
have illustrated examples of our soap tablets.
Figure 1 shows a soap tablet with a curved top struck from its base line forming
an exact semisphere.
Figure 2 shows a soap tablet with a curved top struck from a centre above the
base line and forming rather more than a semisphere.
Figure 3 shows a soap tablet with a curved top struck from a centre below the
base line and forming rather less than a semisphere.
Figure 4 shows a soap tablet with a parbola top or roughly struck from three
centres below the base line.
In carrying our invention into practice we form the tablet T by pouring the
soap when in a liquid or plastic state into a mould which moulds or forms the
tablet into a semispherical or dome shape having a perfectly flat base which enables
the tablet to stand more firmly without slipping or sliding about as shewn at
Figure 1. The tablet T¹ as shewn at Figure 2 is formed in a mould so that
the base line of the tablet when moulded is below the centre from which
the curved top is struck and at Figure 3 we have shewn the tablet T
which tablet is formed in a mould so that when moulded the centre from which
the curved top is struck is below the base line. At Figure 4 we have shewn
the tablet T3 the top of which when moulded is formed parabola or roughly struck
from three centres below the base line.
Soap tablets made according to our improvements are much cheaper and much
easier to manufacture as a considerable amount of labour is saved in moulding
them they are also more convenient for use and easier to hold.
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 improvements in the manufacture of tablets of soap having a flat base and
circular top or semispherical in shape whether struck from a centre on the base
line or from a centre above or below the base line or of a similar shape to a parabolic

page_text: An Improved Clinical Thermometer.
ARTHUR HEYGATE VERNON 1 & 3 The Crescent Christchurch Road Boscombe Hants
Medical Man do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The clinical thermometer instead of being straight, is made with a double curve
so as to enable the bulb to lie flat under the tongue, & so that it shall fit the shape
of the mouth.
ARTHUR HEYGATE VERNON 1 The Crescent Boscombe Bournemouth Hants Medical
Man 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 thermometer is constructed as a clinical thermometer with this difference,
that instead of being made straight it has a double bend, one just above the bulb
and another about half an inch above that, as in drawing this enables it when placed
in the mouth to fit comfortably over the lower teeth and the bulb to lie under the
tongue.
The advantages of this Invention are
1. That it is more comfortable to the patient.
2. That it naturally falls into a better position in the mouth.
3. That it is more easily retained in position by the patient.
4. That the tongue can lie right down on the bulb, & there is no space left in the
floor of the mouth for saliva to collect.
5. That the temperature is taken in a shorter time, as the bulb is thoroughly
covered by the tongue and is in complete contact with the mucous membrane of the
tongue and mouth. It does not lie in a pool of saliva, or in such a position that
the air can pass freely over it.
6. That the temperature recorded is more accurate as the bulb being completely
covered by mucous membrane, has the temperature of the blood and tissues
conducted directly to it and not through a layer of air or saliva,

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 following novelty
That the thermometer should be bent in two places, one just above the bulb and
another about half an inch above that, instead of being straight.

Improvements in Fireproof Ceilings.
I, WILLY CHROMETZKA, of 17 Graebschnerstrasse, Breslau, in the German
Empire, 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 fireproof ceilings and its object is to so construct them
that they are better able to withstand any sudden shock or strain.
In such ceilings as at present usually constructed with iron beams or girders and
blocks of stone or the like, iron strips or bars have been laid in the joints with
their narrow edges upwards. Such ceilings possess no elasticity and are very
liable to break upon being suddenly loaded.
In the improved ceiling which forms the subject of this invention corrugated
metal strips are placed within the joints.
Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings illustrate vertical sections of the
improved ceiling showing the application of two different forms of corrugated
strips.
Figure 3 represents part of the ceiling in plan.
Figures 4 and 5 are views to a larger scale of the two different forms of strips
previously illustrated.
Referring to the drawings a indicates a corrugated metal strip of any desired
dimensions or strength which is placed with one of its narrow edges upon the
flanges of the girders or beams b, b. In consequence of the corrugations such a
strip may readily expand or give along one edge whilst the other edge is being
compressed or shortened. A ceiling provided with these strips therefore possesses
a certain degree of elasticity.
The corrugations upon the strips a may be vertical to the edges of the strips as
shown in Figures 1 and 4, or they may be arranged obliquely as illustrated in
Figures 2 and 5. An additional advantage is obtained by the use of strips formed
with oblique corrugations, as a stone or other block tending to fall downwards
is forced obliquely against the next block where it is held in place.
By the use of the corrugated strips the ceiling is also better enabled to withstand
a shearing stress so that its strength is increased in all ways.
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 fireproof ceiling of the type hereinbefore described having corrugated metal
strips inserted within the joints, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and

page_text: 2. In a fireproof ceiling, obliquely corrugated metal strips which are placed in
the joints, ubstantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as

Improvements in Despatch Boxes.
I. VILLIERS STEWART FELLOWES WILSON, Madras Uncovenanted Civil Service
temporarily of 25 Suffolk Street, Pall Mall East, London, 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 the present invention is to construct a despatch box of more con-
venient form than heretofore.
In the accompanying drawing I have shewn a despatch box constructed
according to the present invention.
Figure 1 is a front view of the box open.
Figure 2 is a cross section of the same; and
Figure 3 a plan.
A is the body of the box, preferably of wood, having a hinged cover B and a
hinged front C. The body A contains a fixed tray D, and drawers E, F, and G,
situated below the tray. These drawers are shewn partly out in Figure 2.
In the cover B are arranged compartments for stationery &c., and there may
also be places for a perpetual almanack, a thermometer, a memorandum slate, &c.,
as indicated.
The tray D is also divided into compartments, and hinged lids are provided, as
indicated in Figure 2.
Access is obtained to the box by lowering the front C, after which the cover B
may be raised.
Provision is thus made for getting at the contents of the body A without
removing the tray D, which may therefore be fixed, as above mentioned, which
is a great convenience. The employment of a removable tray, which it is desired
to obviate, is a great inconvenience, because, when taken out, to get at the interior
of the box, a place must be found to set it down, and, in railway carriages or
other narrow spaces, there is little or no room available, so that there is then
considerable difficulty in getting access to the contents of the box without spilling
the contents of the tray.
bb are a pair of lugs pendent from the cover B, and provided with eyes to
receive the pins c c upon the front flap C.
To close the box, the cover B is lowered, and the front flap C is raised, so that
the pins cc engage with the eyes b b. A spring catch lock is provided at the
meeting edges of the cover and front flap, to prevent the latter falling back, and
the box is secure until unlocked with a key. The lid B cannot be raised, by reason
of the lugs bb and pins cc engaging at right angles to one another, and by
reason of the lock which retains them in that position.
The tray, drawers, and other internal fittings, may be of metal, so as to better
protect the contents.
ee are metal flanges secured to the edges of the flap C, to prevent the flap from
being prized open.

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: -
A despatch box comprising fixed tray, hinged cover, hinged front flap, and
locking arrangements, substantially as described with reference to the accompanying
drawing.

Improvements in Mechanical Toys.
I, HERBERT EDWARD HUGHES of 9 Long Lane, London E.C. Toy Dealer, 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 relates to that class of mechanical toys in which a heavy fly-wheel
in rapid motion is utilised in driving the toy, such as a model locomotive, carriage,
cart, boat, and the like; and the object of my invention is to simplify the means
whereby the fly-wheel is caused to rotate.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and
ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawing, illustrating
one method of carrying out my invention, as applied to a toy locomotive.
1 is the fly-wheel fast on the vertical spindle 2. The spindle 2 carries a worm 3
(preferably double threaded) fast thereon; 4 is a worm wheel fast on the axle 5,
the wheels (6) being also fast on the axle 5.
Instead of a worm and worm wheel a crown toothed wheel may be made fast to
the axle 5 and a lantern pinion may be made fast to the pinion 2, the spindle 2
and wheel 1 being shifted to the necessary position in a manner well understood.
Bevel gear may also be used for the same purpose.
In starting the toy illustrated by the drawing it is placed upon the floor and
steadily and acceleratingly propelled a short distance by hand. The rotation of
the wheels 6, axle 5, wheel 4 and worm 3 causes the rapid rotation of the spindle 2
and fly-wheel 1. The wheel 1 continues to revolve for some time after the hand is
withdrawn from the toy, whereby the toy is propelled a considerable distance.
It is obvious that my invention may be suitably modified in order to apply it
to toy carriages, carts, boats, and the like; the usual winding string being entirely
dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1 The improvements in mechanical toys substantially as and for the purposes
described.
2 In a mechanical toy, the improved method of imparting rapid rotary motion
to the fly-wheel by means of the rotation of the travelling wheels, through suitable
intermediate speed gearing substantially as and for the purposes herein before
described and illustrated by the drawing
3 The application and use of the aforesaid improved method of driving, to toy
carriages, carts, boats, and the like, substantially as herein before described.

Holders Fitted to Braces for Supporting Drawers, Pants, and
the like.
I, PAUL HARZENDORF, Merchant residing in Limbach in the Kingdom of
Saxony, 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 :-
Braces are universally used for supporting not only the trousers but the under-
trousers as well, and this is usually done by passing the button straps through small
loops sewn on to the top edge of the under trousers.
In the accompanying drawings is represented on Figures 1, 2, 3 & 4 an arrange-
ment which will support the under trousers in a much more simple manner.
This arrangement consists principally of a hook a attached to each of the front
ends of the braces for the reception of the loop of the under-trousers. The hook
can be moved up and down the braces and fixed by a lever plate b at any point
required, in a similar manner to what is now done when shifting the button
straps.
The Figures 5 & 6 show a second arrangement for the same purpose.
66
A holder plate a¹ which is attached to the braces in the usual manner by the
lever plate is in this case transformed into a clasp" consisting of the holder-
plate al and the front spring plate c, rivetted or soldered together at the upper end
and having serrated edges at the lower ends, and of the lever plate d which presses
the plates a' & c together when it is in a vertical position. By turning the lever d
into a horizontal position-the top edge of the undertrousers can be passed
between a¹ &c, and therefore by replacing the lever d in its vertical position, the
clasp a' c will grip the undertrousers and hold them securely.
C
Also the loop of the undertrousers can be held up by passing it over the lever d
when open and when the lever is closed the loop will be prevented from slipping
off by a boss in the centre of the lever.
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. A movable hook attached to braces for supporting under-trousers.
2nd. A movable clasp attached to braces for supporting undertrousers, which is
pressed together by means of a lever-which lever also serves for the reception of
the loop of the under-trousers.

Improved Methods of Printing on Glass and Porcelain Ware.
I, EDMUND HILL, of 45; Essex Street, Strand, London, Wood Engraver,
Zincographer & Electrotyper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:
My first method is printing on gelatine with ordinary printing ink from any
block or type. This forms a printing negative for printing on zinc, copper or any
other metal which is then etched intanlio for obtaining transfers for pottery
ware & glass printing.
My second method is by waxing any print and making the paper transparent
and using that as a negative or positive to print by means of enameline gelatine
albumen or bitumen on zinc, copper or any other metal or stone for intanlio
etching for the purpose of making transfers for pottery ware and glass.
My third method is to take a negative from nature or other subjects and then
make a half tone process negative and then make a positive from which to print
intanlio on metal or stone for the purpose of producing transfers for pottery &
glass printing.

An Improvement in Circular Spirit Levels.
I, WILLIAM TAYLOR, of Slate Street Works, Leicester, in the County of Leicester,
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 construction of spirit levels of the circular
kind such as are often employed on surveying instruments, photographic cameras
and the like, my object being to secure the instrument in a cheap and permanent
manner against leakage of its fluid contents.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a plan, Fig. 2 is a side elevation and
Fig. 3 is a section of a level according to my invention; Fig. 4 shews sections of
all the parts of which the level is composed.
The outer case A is made with an inwardly projecting lip against
which bears the outer edge of the glass B. Against the inner edge
of the glass I place a ring of caoutchouc C or other suitable packing
material. This ring may be merely a piece of caoutchouc wire of square
or round section cut to such length that when it is bent round in the angle at the
edge of the glass, its two ends shall meet. I prepare a closing plug D such as will
fit tightly in the case A and I make its edge with an external bevil d so that when
it is forced into the case it forms, at the angle where the glass meets the case, a
triangular space into which the packing is squeezed, and where it is protected by
the inner edge of D against contact with the fluid charge, which can be intro-
duced through a hole ¹, the hole being then closed by a plug.
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 circular spirit level constructed substantially as described with reference to
the drawings.

Improvements in Pens.
I JONATHAN SPRAGUE BARD, of No. 54 Grove Street in the City of New
York in the State of New York, United States of America, Gold Pen
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:-
The object of this invention is to provide a pen the nibs of which have a long
bearing surface of such a character that they cannot catch in the paper and spatter
ink in writing, and yet have sufficient flexibility and elasticity. A further object
is to provide, in addition to the above mentioned qualities, for the retention and
reserve of ink above the nibs, which will obviate the necessity of the inconveniently
frequent dipping of the pen in the ink.
This invention is especially adapted to gold pens with iridium points, though not
limited to such pens, as it might be applied to an ordinary metallic pen.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a back view of a pen embodying my invention, and
Fig. 2 represents a central longitudinal section of the same.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.
The general contour of the pen may be such as is commonly adopted for writing
pens, but the point of the nibs is made several times thicker than that of the body
of the pen, and with a long, smooth backward slope towards the under side, as
indicated at a in Fig. 2, the said slope forming the writing surface of the
pen. In
order to prevent this extreme thickness of the nibs at the point, from so impairing
the flexibility and elasticity of the pen, as to interfere with easy and rapid writing,
I reduce the thickness of the nibs at a short distance behind the point, to less than
the thickness of the rear portions of the nibs and of the body of the pen, by forming
a cavity c'back of the nibs, as shown in Fig. 2. The reduction in thickness thus
produced gives the necessary flexibility and elasticity, while it leaves the nibs with
such a long writing surface, as to give a good bearing to the pen on the paper, and
obviate all liability of the pen to catch in, or to be obstructed by, any inequalities
in the paper on which the pen is used; and, moreover, the said cavity forms, in the
back of the pen, a small reservoir for ink, by which the pen is made to take up and
retain a large quantity of ink at every dipping.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A writing pen having its nibs thickened at their extremities, and terminating in
a backward slope on the underside, and having the nibs reduced to a thickness less
than that of the body of the pen, by a cavity formed in the back or upper side of
the nibs, in rear of the thickened portion of the latter, substantially as herein
described.

Improved Dies for use in the Manufacture of Metal Boxes.
Year: 1897

page_text: Improved Dies for use in the Manufacture of Metal Boxes.
I, JOHN THOMSON PAUL, of Grove Works, Brandfield Street, Edinburgh, in the
County of Midlothian, North Britain, 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:-
This Invention relates to an improved tool for use in the manufacture of metal
boxes. It is designed for the purpose of bonding up the edges of the sides of
boxes. The object of the Invention is to provide a tool by which four or more
operations which are usually done separately can be done together. The tool
consists of a special die which in one stroke turns up the three edges of the side of
a box such as a tin biscuit box.
In order that my Invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended one sheet of Drawings in the several figures of
which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is a section through the line X X Figure 3 of the die.
Figure 2 is a similar section of the die when closed.
Figure 3 is a plan of the top die.
Figure 4 is a section of the plate when partly stamped.
Figure 5 is a section and Figure 6 a plan of the plate when fully stamped.
The tool consists of a top die A and bottom die B. The bottom die consists
of three parts two of which C and D) are shewn in Figures 1 and 2. The part D
is movable relatively to the part C in the slot E. The third part for turning up
the third side of the plate is similar to D and is movable in a slot. A spiral.
spring F keeps the part D in the position shown in Figure 1. The top die consists
of two parts G and H_movable relatively to one another. They are kept asunder
by the spiral springs I. In Figure 1 the tin plate is shown in between the two
dies. When the two dies are brought together and the bottom of the upper part H
comes down to the top of bottom part C the edges of the tin plate will be formed
as shown in Figure 4. By continuing the pressure on the upper part G the spiral
springs will be compressed as shown in Figure 2. The right hand side of the
upper piece G will cause the movable parts D to slide in the slots E, and turn the
edges of the plate over as shown at the right hand side of Figure 5 while the left
hand side of the upper piece G will turn the edge down as shown at the left hand
side of Figure 5.
The upper and lower dies A and B are mounted in the usual frame work and
the tool may be actuated by steam or other power.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said In-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The improved die for turning up the sides of metal boxes, substantially as
described
