Improvements in Hoists.
1, MOSES JAMES ADAMS of Peasholm Green, York, 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:—
My invention consists in an improved mode of raising and lowering goods. In
the crab winch or crane usually employed a reel is provided, to which rotary
motion is imparted, and upon this reel the lifting chain is wound-thus the goods on
the chain are raised.
In place of this revolving reel, I use a screw of suitable length, held in bearing,
and to this screw I impart rotary motion, such motion causing to travel to and fro
a plate with threaded nut. My lifting chain or cord passes round a pulley on this
plate, and is so arranged that the movement of the plate draws the chain or cord,
and thus lifts any weight to which it may be attached. The lift may be increased
as desired by multiplying the number of pulleys on my moving plate, and providing
corresponding pulleys for the chain to draw upon.
In another form, I cause the screw itself to travel with its plate and pulleys by
the rotary motion of a fixed nut; or in place of a screw I use a rack & worm.
The general arrangement will be seen on reference. to the accompanying
drawing, where I show the most simple form of my hoist, A being the screw, B the
nut, C the pulleys, (two in this case being used on the travelling plate) D the
pulleys by which rotary motion is imparted, by motive power, or a handle may
replace these pulleys. E is the raising chain, F the jib or crane, and W the
weight to be raised.
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. I claim the use of a screw, to which rotary motion is imparted, in
combination with a travelling plate, to which a chain or cord shall be affixed, or
otherwise connected, passing over a pulley or not; these used as the raising or
drawing power of a hoist, lift or elevator.
2nd. I claim the use of a screw, which, travelling by rotary motion of a nut or
itself, by plate and pulley or otherwise, shall draw, raise or tighten a chain, cord or
equivalent, in a hoist, lift or elevator.
3rd. I claim the use of a rack & worm, the rotary movement of the worm
drawing the rack, which again draws, raises or tightens a chain or cord, or
equivalent, used as a hoist, lift, or elevator.
4th. I claim the arrangement of parts as shewn, so far as A. B. C. D & E are
concerned, or their equivalent, substantially the same, though differing in
conformity.

1, HEINRICH BRÖCKER, of Limbach Saxony, German Empire, 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 mattress hereinafter described has been designed to meet all the require-
ments that can be demanded of a mattress and this in a more efficient manner than
any mattress hitherto invented.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have here-
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings whereon:-
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the mattress.
Figs. 2, 3 and 4, are detail views of the metal connections.
Fig. 5 represents in plan and side elevation a metal ring.
Fig. 6 shows a spiral spring.
Fig. 7 shows a single connection or link of metal wire.
The improved mattress is constructed as follows, reference being made to the
drawings
One end of each of the spiral springs b is suitably fastened to the frame a, while
the other end is fixed to the metal ring e, as shown in Fig. 1. To the rings cat
cach corner of the mattress there are fixed two spiral springs and two of the con-
nections or links of metal wire m. (The links m are shown more particularly at
Fig. 7.) To each of the remaining rings a single spiral spring & and three links m
are fastened. The other ends of these connections or links m are fastened to
rings c in the centre of the mattress, which latter rings c¹ therefore have four con-
necting links m attached to them as shown at Fig. 4.
The wire links m are fastened to the rings e, c' by means of sinall bent hooks n
as shown in Fig. 7; and the spiral springs have likewise a small hook (Fig. 6) at
one end for the same purpose.
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 mattress, having a number of spiral springs b, each fastened at one end to the
frame and at the other end by a hook i to a ring c, said rings being connected to
one another and to other rings by wire links m, substantially as hereinbefore
described and shown on the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Railway Sleepers.
I, AUGUSTE JULIEN LEFEBVRE, Managing Director of La Compagnie
Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez, of 9, Rue Chorras, Paris, France, 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 metallic railway sleeper, rolled of the
special form illustrated in the drawings, forming part of this Specification,
wherein
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, and Figure 2 a plan, of a portion of a sleeper,
with the rail in position thereon.
Figure 3 is a cross-section of the sleeper.
Figure 4 shews, on a reduced scale, a portion of a line of railway constructed
according to this invention.
Figure 5 is a longitudinal section of another form of sleeper, and Figure 6 a
cross-section of the same.
Figure 7 is a cross-section of the rail.
The sleeper is made of steel rolled of the channelled form shewn in Figures 3
and 6; the angles M N may, however, be rounded off to a radius not exceeding
three millimetres.
The improvement consists more particularly in stamping up the web of the
sleeper to form the surfaces upon which the rails are directly seated so as to
receive the proper inward set. The stamping is preferably done hot, after leaving
the rolling mill, the two inclined surfaces of each sleeper being formed at one
operation. The bending down of the ends of the sleeper should also be done while
hot, the side flanges being first cut off square with a saw, care being taken to avoid
cutting into the web to be turned down. It is essential that the operations of
bending the ends and shaping the rail seats should be performed without developing
any crack in the sleeper.
In Figure 1, the rail scat is shewn as formed with a shoulder at A to serve as an
abutment for the rail, but in certain cases the sleeper may have the form shewn in
Figure 5.
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 :-
The herein described construction of metallic sleeper, made of rolled steel, having
rail seats stamped up therein, substantially as described and illustrated in the
drawings.

An Improved Apparatus for Exhausting Gas.
GEORGE WALLER 58 Park Street Southwark S.E. Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what mauuer the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention consists of a gas engine A coupled directly or with friction clutch
to a gas exhauster B, both being fixed on one base plate C. The disc valves D on.
the exhauster are placed horizontally so that branches on their stems will carry by
2 bends E an automatic byc pass valve F over the exhauster and branches Gon
the side of the bends carry a throttle valve H which is actuated by a governor I
placed on a standard J bridging the engine and exhauster shaft.
The exhauster B is of the usual rotatory type, made with two or more revolving
blades such as is ordinarily used to remove gas from the hydraulic main.
The automatic bye pass valve F has a metal flap hanging lightly on turned pins-
it enables the gas to pass through it when the exhauster is not in action. The
governor I consists of a cast iron tank containing water in which is a light sheet
iron bell. In the centre of the tank is a wrought iron pipe rising above the water ;.
this pipe is connected to the inlet of the exhauster and the bell rises or falls and
acts on the throttle valve H by opening or closing it to maintain any desired
vacuum.
The several parts of the apparatus as described are ordinarily in use but
detached and scattered in the engine room, part being usually placed underground
& occupying much space, which this invention is intended to obviate.
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 a gas engine with a gas exhaustor carrying the disc valves,.
bye pass valve, throttle valve and regulator or governor all on one base plate
Bo as to occupy little space and though compactly arranged, all parts are easily
accessible.

Improvements in Valve Ventilators.
HENRY THOMAS JOHNSON St. Andrews Chambers, Albert Square Manchester
Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a means of muthing or lessening the
noise made by certain ventilators commonly known as mica flap ventilators. The
noise is created by the contact of the falling valve on a metallic plate.
To avoid this I interpose a soft cushion of wool cotton, silk or asbestos fibre,
firmly secured by threading the same through a series of small holes entirely
surrounding the ventilating apertures.
I also lessen the noise made by the hinges by using a flexible twisted wire for
suspending the valves instead of the rigid wire loops.
I therefore claim, first to muffle the noise by the interposition of a firmly secured
cushion between the valve and the plate, and the manner of securing the cushion
to the plate, and second to lessen the noise by the construction of the suspending
hinges as stated.

Improvements in Valve Ventilators.
HENRY THOMAS JOHNSON, St. Andrews Chambers Albert Square Manchester
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 :-
The object of my invention is to muffle or decrease the noise made by certain
ventilators commonly known as mica flap ventilators.
The said ventilators consist of ventilating plates (hereinafter described as
plates A,) made of metal or other suitable material, and placed within wall boxes,
the plates A have according to their size one or more openings, for the discharge
of vitiated air. The openings are covered and protected from back draughts by
valves or hinged flap covers, of mica or other light material, easily moved by the
air currents for the exit of vitiated air.
The flapping movement of the valves upon the plates A create an objectionable
noise. This I overcome by piercing the plates A with small holes, around each
opening and so lace through the plates A either soft wool cotton, silk or asbestos
fibre and thus form soft yielding cushions around each opening, for the covers or
valves to fall upon, thereby considerably decreasing or muffling the sound of the
falling valves.
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 firmly secured interposing soft cushion between the plate A and the valves,
to deaden the noise otherwise created by the contact of the valves with the.
plates A.

Improvements in Harness.
I OTTOCAR LINDEMANN of 86 Queen Street, Cheapside, in the City 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 :-
In harness as ordinarily used for horses, whether provided with a collar or with
a breast plate that part upon which the horse applies its power for pulling purposes
bears against the breast of the animal, and in the case where a collar is employed
it is pressed particularly against the withers and the front edge of the shoulder
blade, while in the case of a breast plate it presses against the shoulders and
breast.
This invention has for its object to produce a harness for horses or other
draught animals by which contact with the movable parts of the shoulder or with
the breast is avoided and the pull on the traces rendered more continuous and
smooth than is the case where the ordinary collar or breastplate is employed and
consists essentially in the employment of a breast-piece passing between the animal's
fore-legs, one end being secured to the collar while the other or back end to which
the traces are connected is secured by a belly-band or girth to the saddle-tree.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings,
Figs. 1 and 2 are side elevations of a horse provided with harness constructed
according to this invention and,
Figs. 3 and 4 are back and front elevations of the same respectively.
A breast piece a passing under the animal's breast and between its fore-legs has
one of its ends secured to the collar or suspension ring by a hinge or other suitable
fastening device, its other end being connected by a belly-band or girth c to the
Baddle d. Secured to the breast piece is a cross-bar e provided with suitable rings
or hooks for connecting it to the traces. The collar bis connected to the saddle d
by means of two metal strips f.
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 :-
1. The arrangement and construction of harness for draft animals substantially
as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. The employment of a breast piece connected to the collar or suspension ring b
and saddle & substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing part of a wheel constructed according to my
invention.
Like letters represent like parts throughout the drawings.
In carrying out my invention the outer rim A is connected to the inner rim B by
preferably pairs of bent or coiled springs C which may be formed with or without
the extra turn C¹ or two or more turns Č¹ may be made.
The ends of the springs C may be secured to the outer rim A and inner rim B
respectively as shown by forming their ends into eyes to receive the bolts D which
are bolted in the lugs E of the outer and inner rims or they may be secured in any
well known manner.
With this arrangement the outer rim is held firmly to the inner rim and is also
prevented from canting, at the same time that it has considerable elasticity by
reason of the particular arrangement of the springs C which offer no direct con-
nection between the points D and D but only by the circuitous course of the
springs C and is thus able to yield to the inequalities of the ground and consequently
vibration is reduced.
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 wheel such as described the employment of bent or indirect springs
such as C for connecting the outer and inner rims A and B substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. A velocipede or other vehicle wheel having rims such as A and B con-
nected by bent or indirect springs such as C substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Spring Spoke Wheels.
WILLIAM BOWKER Senr., Consulting Engineer, and JOHN RUSHTON BOWKER,
Electrician, both of 4 Fairmont Terrace, St. Pauls Road, Preston, Lancashire, 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:-
Reference to accompanying drawings, Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 show front and side
views of segments of wheels, with spring spokes, Figs. 5, 6 & 7 show other shapes
of spring spokes which can be used. Figs. 8, 9 & 10 show stays to stiffen the
spokes, and prevent dishing or buckling of the wheels. In Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4
A represents the hubs, B the spokes, and C the rims of said wheels. D and E represent
the stays. F, Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent shoulders on the spokes and under the
rim C, which we form by forcing dies, with suitable apparatus into the said spokes,
and then driving or forcing the spokes down the dies which thereby forces the
surplus metal under the rin, thereby forming a shoulder underneath, and a rivet
head over said rim on each spoke which effectually fastens the said spokes to the
rinis. Figs. 8 and 9 show the stays that would usually be used when fixing the
said spokes in hub and rim. Figure 10 shows the form of stays we use to obviate
the taking out of spokes after they have been fixed in position, the end (a) being
shown closed tight on the spoke, the end (b) being shown open, the said stays are
soldered, brazed or fastened to the spokes after the wheel is set true as required.
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:
1st. The use of spring spokes of round, or flat, or any section of metal that will
spring, with one or more coils or bends in them, thereby obtaining elastic or
cushioned wheels.
2nd. The use of stays, to stiffen and prevent dishing or buckling of said wheels,
and to strengthen either our spring, or ordinary straight spokes.

Improved Apparatus for Recovering Sulphurous Acid used in the
Manufacture of Paper Pulp from Wood.
I CARL KELLNER of IX Turkenstrasse 17, Vienna in the Empire of Austria,
Chemist 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 is applicable to spherical revolving digesters used in the manu-
facture of paper pulp from wood, and consists of an apparatus for the recovery of
sulphurous acid in the form of a solution which can be again used in such
manufacture.
In Fig. 1 of the annexed drawings I have represented the exterior of the
trunnion end of a revolving digester showing the external arrangement I adopt.
Fig. 2 represents a section of the same through the trunnions showing the internal
arrangement.
u, b and c represent respectively the water, steam and liquor supply pipes, d is a
pipe which conveys the sulphurous gas and steam from the digester to a condensing
coil or worm m which is fixed in a tank m' kept full of cold water.
e is a pipe for conveying away the spent liquor.
These five branch pipes, each of which is provided with its own stop cock or
valve, are all in communication with the one centre pipe which passes through
the trunnion to the interior of the digester and is then carried along to that side
immediately opposite the man-hole where usually the blow off cock is fixed.
It here opens into a small chamber g which is formed by a circular perforated
lead plate or grid shown in section h.
When the pulp is sufficiently cooked the digester is turned so that the chamber
is at the top (see Fig. 2). The cock of the pipe d is then opened and the sulphurous
acid gas and steam escape, and by means of the pipe & pass to the condensing
coil m where when necessary it meets with an intermittent or continuous jet of cold
water supplied at n Fig. 1.
The condensed sulphurous acid solution thus formed is conveyed to a store tank
containing the sulphite of lime liquor used for digesting the wood.
p represents the overflow for the water which is fed into the tank at or near the
bottom o.
When all the gas has been blown off as described above, the digester is turned
so that the man-hole is at the top.
The cock of the pipe e is opened and the liquor blown off which may be treated
to recover the sulphurous acid and other products contained therein or run to waste.
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 improved arrangement for blowing off the gas and liquor and the recovery
of the sulphurous acid by the same substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated by the drawings annexed.

An Apparatus to Produce Sulphuretted Hydrogen and other Gases.
I MARIE ROYON Proprietor Digue de Mer 89 Ostend, Belgium do hereby
leclare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The apparatus (named the "Joseph" apparatus) to produce sulphuretted
ydrogen, being the only object of the present request for obtaining a patent, has
on the other apparatuses used for the same purpose till the present day, the
advantage of being of the most extreme simplicity. In consequence the fabrication
of the apparatus is less expensive and brings it within the reach of all. The
designs enclosed with the present description represent:
Fig. I the transversal plan of the apparatus.

page_text: .
WORKING OF THE APPARATUS.
The apparatus being charged, if the trap is opened, the liquid causing the
pressure, will make the air contained in the inner vessel evacuate its place and
will immediately occupy it.
The levels are established. The trap is then closed, the acid in presence of the
sulphide will produce sulphuretted hydrogen gas. This body forming as long as
there is contact, will drive back the liquid which will ascend into the other vessel
to cause pressure. From this moment all that is to be done, is to open the trap in
order to have an assured supply of gas.

page_text: keeping for me the full right to change the forms and dimensions of the above
mentioned apparatus, and also the chosing of the best appropriated materials for
the fabrication of the same apparatus.
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 essentially characterized by:
An outer cylindrical vessel B open at the upper part.
An inner concentric cylinder A terminating with a gullet or neck.
The cylinder A soldered or not soldered at the basis of the outer vessel.
Four or more openings are made in the inner side, near the basis, of the inner
cylinder A.
A perforated disk C at 0.05 m. from the basis of the inner cylinder A.
An india-rubber stopper E stopping the gullet or neck of the vessel A.
A bend escape-tube in glass J passing through the stopper E.
An india-rubber tube fastened to the escape-tube J.
A pair of shut-pincers G'acting as a trap are adapted to an india-rubber
tube F.
