An Improved Stepped Grate for Fireplaces, Furnaces, and the like
I, JACOB LEOPOLD WALDAPFEI of 73 Ehren Strasse, Cologne in the Empire
of Germany, Private Officer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement
This invention relates to a stepped fire grate the firebars of which are made of
fire-clay and iron, and are therefore less liable to be burnt out than the firebar>
heretofore in use
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a fireplace or
furnace with my invention applied thereto, and Figure 2 is a transverse section to
a larger scale of the firebars employed therein
Notwithstanding the trouble and ingenuity that have been bestowed on the
production of various kinds of fire-grates no one has hitherto succeeded in producing
one the filebars of which do not, sooner or later burn out, but firegrates constructed
in accordance with the present invention remedy this objection to a very great
extent
Referring to the drawing the top or head a of each firebu (which is the part
most exposed to the fire) is made of fire-clay, or other similar fire resisting
material, whilst the lower part b of each bai is made of cast iron In order to
connect the file-clay top a to the cast iron bar 6 the former is provided, on both
sides, with grooves into which fit corresponding feathers or projections formed or
the cast on bat b and on a wrought on clamping plate c which holds the fire-clay
top a in place The said wrought iron clamping plate c is fixed to the lower part
of the cast on bar 6 by means of bolts or screws f, or other suitable means
The
The fireclay tops a are preferably made in pieces each about six inches in length,
and they are rounded on their upper side The bearers for these firebars may be
of any suitable kind, and I prefer to provide the bars with distance pieces, such is
those shewn at d for example at about every twelve inches of then length
firebris constructed as above described are arranged to form stepped fire-grates is
shewn in Figure 1, the under corner parts of the firebars being secured or connected
in any suitable way
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

An Improved Combination Pump and Bag Clip for Velocipedes.
ALFRED SUMMERS Marlowes Kilmainham County Dublin Ireland Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
A contrivance consisting of two strips of steel, one sixteenth of an inch thick, and
five eighths of an inch wide, (or other sizes) to which bag is attached. Strips are
bent to shape of bag and curved at each end, forming spring clips: two for attach-
ment to handle-bar or frame of velocipede, and two for holding pneumatic pump.
These clips differ from any already out, in that they attach pump to bag, and bag
to velocipede. They can also be made without the combination, and used in
separate pairs: one pair for attaching pump to bag, and one pair for attaching
to frame or handle-bar of velocipede; each pair being separately fixed to bag.

An Improvement in W.C. Pans for Effecting Automatic Supply
of Disinfectant after each Flush.
I, THOMAS TEMPLE, of Fawe Park Road, Putney, Surrey, Builder, 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 improvement in w.c. pans for effecting automatic
supply of disinfectant after each flush.
For the purpose of my invention, I make each w.c. pan with a pocket or
chamber into which a disinfectant can be placed, the pocket being so arranged
that a small quantity of water at each flush shall enter and saturate the dis-
infectant and then be allowed to drain into the trap, or into the bend and
commingle with the water therein to be retained until the closet be again used.
The saturation of the disinfectant may be by the ordinary flush water acting in
the pan, or by a separate or small eupply from a branch of the flush pipe.
The disinfectant can be affixed to a closing grating or be placed in the pocket
and then a grating be put in position to hold it in the pocket.
The disinfectant is preferably in combination with some cementaceous body in
order that only a slow escape of the disinfectant shall take place at or after each
flush.
My invention will be clearly understood by referring to the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is a fore and aft section of a w.c. pan A with a pocket B near the
upper part and directly under the spreader plate or flange C.
According to Figure 1, the mouth of the pocket is covered by an affixable
grating D. Flush water can enter in sufficient quantity at E to associate itself
with a disinfectant F placed in the pocket as to be impregnated and then to drain
out into the trap or bend G in which a commingling with the water left by the
flush takes place.
I have in dotted lines shown the pocket B at the side of the pan, and in
connection with a branch H from the flush pipe I. I have also in this figure
indicated a pipe J leading from the flush pipe through the wall to just above the
pan for ventilating purposes, so that any vapour arising from the disinfectant in
the "trap can be drawn away.
"
I have shown one pocket only to the pan but two or more can be arranged so
that by the saturation by flush water of, say, two chemical agents a disinfectant is
produced for use, as set forth.
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 :-
The construction of w.c. pans with pocket for holding a disinfectant for
saturation by flush water, and escape of the impregnated liquid into the trap for
deodorizing purposes, as described and substantially as shown by the annexed
drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cigars.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cigars.
I, MAX DUSSEL of Schwetzingen in the Grand Duchy of Baden, 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:-
This invention provides for the manufacture of cigars without the use of paste
or other adhesive material to fasten the last layer of tobacco-leaf which forms the
external wrap.
Heretofore this external wrap of the cigar has been formed into a tip at one end
and there fastened with paste. Then, usually, the cigar-makers would place the
tip between their teeth and bite off squarely any loose portions of the tobacco-
leaf.
Such a process has at least two disadvantages. In the first place, the employ-
ment of paste gives a cigar a disagreeable taste which is noticeable on its introduction
into the smoker's mouth. In the second place, it is known that diseases may be
transmitted through contact of the workmen's teeth, etc., necessitated by the biting-
off operation.
My invention consists in doing away with the use of paste to fasten the outer
layer of tobacco-leaf on the inner roll, which is effected by turning up the twisted
end forming the tip and pushing a metal ring somewhat tightly over it.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 represents an outer layer of tobacco-leaf
thus affixed without paste.
In order that the metal ring (a) shall not slip off when a cigar becomes dry, it is
best after properly fixing the ring as well to pull out and to press flat some small
portion of the twisted tip of the cigar (b).
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 mode of manufacturing cigars without use of paste, the special features being
that the twisted tip of the outer layer of tobacco-leaf is turned up and then securely
held in position by a metal ring pushed over it.

A New or Improved Musical Toy.
I, MAX LORENZ, of 119 Alt-Moabit, 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 :-
This invention relates to an apparatus which produces musical sounds when
rotated or swung in a circular path.
The toy is illustrated in longitudinal section at Figure 1 in the accompanying
drawings, and consists of a tubular case a preferably shaped like two truncated
cones connected together at their smaller ends. This case contains a reed-
plate or other suitable sound producing device. Figure 2 is a front view
of this plate b showing the reeds which are made of thin sheet brass rivetted
to the plate b over slots therein in the usual way, similar to the reeds of a
Harmonicon. In order to allow only one, or a certain number of the notes to
sound at one time, or to be sounded intermittently, the case a may be provided
with the apparatus shown in Figure 1, consisting of a screw or fan d, and a
slotted disc c, adapted to rotate in front of the reed plate. The screw and disc
are also shown in front and side view in Figure 4. Figure 3 shows a similar
arrangement but with a screw or fan d' having several wings, and a slotted disc c¹.
Figure 5 shows a modification of this apparatus in which the screw and disc are
combined in one instrument, the disc d² being provided with a slot and shaped so as
to form, in itself a screw thread or snail.
The case a, is swung round in the air in the direction of the arrows in
Figure 1 by means of the cord e (Figure 6) having a knob or ball k fastened to its
end. By this means a draft of air is created through the case a which causes the
reeds in the plate b to sound. When the screw and disc are not used all the reeds
are caused to sound together when the case a is swung round. But when the
screw and disc are used they are caused to rotate on their own axis by the passage
of the air through the case, and then only those reeds sound opposite to which the
slot in the disc may happen to be at any given moment.
The instrument can be made in a great variety of forms, and other music or tune
producing devices may be employed instead of reed plates if preferred.
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 :-
First. The musical toy which consists of a tubular case containing a music or
tune producing device and adapted to be swung round in a circular direction in the
air by means of a string, substantially as described.
Second. In a musical toy of the kind hereinbefore described, the employment of
a rotating screw and slotted disc for the purpose of causing only one, or a certain
number, of the reeds contained in the case to sound at one time, or to be sounded
intermittently, substantially as described.

An Improved Process for Treating Liquid Hydrocarbons for Use
as Fuel.
I, PAUL BAUMERT of 26 Kurfurstendamm, Berlin 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 :-
In the ordinary combustion of liquid hydro-carbons, a considerable quantity of
carbon escapes unconsumed in the form of smoke and soot, so that the total
available beat is not obtained.
If steam. be led into the combustion chamber, only a little help towards perfect
combustion is given, because the large volume of the combustion chamber prevents
the combination with the fuel of a sufficient quantity of oxygen for complete
combustion. But, if a suitable quantity of water is mixed with the liquid hydro-
carbon, the water becomes decomposed during the combustion and the hydrogen
thereby liberated burns with an intense heat, and a perfect combustion of the
carbon results.
The low specific gravity and physical nature of the liquid hydro-carbons
however render them immiscible with water under ordinary conditions, but I have
found that certain organic substances hereinafter described, when mixed with the
liquid hydro-carbons, even in small quantity, render them capable of mixing
permanently with water so as to form a homogeneous compound.
The organic substances which I employ are the stems and fibrous parts of Salix
Viminalis and of those members of the Rosacea family of which Spiraea Filipendula
and Prunus Spinosa are types. The powdered stems and woody parts of these
plants added in the proportion of from eight tenths per centum to three per centum
to liquid hydrocarbons utilisable as fuel, render those liquids miscible with water
in widely varying proportions, so that the resultant mixture may contain from
10 per cent. to 95 per cent. of water. In ordinary circumstances I may mix with
the liquid hydrocarbon, about 3 per cent. of the powder, and afterwards, water in
equal weight with the liquid hydrocarbon. The mixture is well agitated and
allowed to rest when the cellulose and some of the water settle, leaving a milk-
white emulsion containing about 35 per cent. of the original water. Such an
emulsion burns with an intense heat and a clear smokeless flame, and, the
combustion being perfect, no inflammable gases escape.
.་་
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 herein before described method of permanently mixing water with liquid
hydrocarbons, substantially as and by the means set forth.

Improvements in the Fittings of Incandescent Electric Lamps.
I WILLIAM JAMES Fox of Ryefield Villas Marple in the County of Chester
Buyer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by, the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the fittings of electric lamps and
refers to those electric lamps known as incandescent lamps.
I will explain my invention by the aid of and reference to the accompanying
drawings
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the present connection between the bulb and
wire forming the lamp, and the contact.
Figure 2 is a general view of my improved connection and
Figure 3.is a section of same.
Figures 4 and 5 are sections showing two modifications.
The part marked A which connects the glass bulb in which the incandescent wire
hangs and the wires of contact is at the present time composed of a metal band of the
shape as seen in section at Figure 1 and filled with plaster of Paris or such like
cement in composition. Now as will be understood by anyone who is conversant
with Buch lamps the full force of the current comes upon this composition and
often breaks it up, as soon as this occurs the contact is broken and the lamp has to
be replaced and this at the present time so often happens that it is not only an
expensive item to replace such lamps but is a great inconvenience.
My invention consists in forming the metal band A with an indentation or
corrugation such as B Figures 2 and 3 so that the strain or force upon the
composition would only tend to consolidate the whole upon the shoulder.6' which is
formed by this indentation or corrugation even should the metal ring become loose
by the vibration of the lamp it could not break the contact because the whole
would be kept in its place by the shoulder b¹.
I may obtain the same effect by forming a bulge C as seen in Figure 4 where
the force would be resisted in the same way as in the former case or I may form a
kind of screw indentation such as D Figure 5 or in different ways so long as a
foundation is formed by the metal for the body of the cement and so that the
pressure would be concentrated upon this foundation and not upon the cone of
the glass bulb.
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 :-
:-
Improvements in electric lamp fittings consisting of the coupecting band A
being formed with an internal or external bulge substantially as and for the purpose

FRANCIS KEEHNER of 17 Sutherland Row Bow London, Cork 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in cycle handles. By means of my
invention I overcome the drawbacks at present existing in cycle handles which are
now usually made with a wooden turned inner tube covered by various materials.
By my invention I make a hollow cylinder of suitable shape for fitting over the
metal handle of the machine by rolling a strip of leather board, or paper, or the
like fibrous material covered with adhesive mixture until the cylinder is of sufficient
thickness, such rolling being accomplished in the usual way by any known method,
or the cylinder may be made of the like material by compression in a suitable
press. A cylinder so made is capable of being bent to suit the handle bar and is
not liable to crack, warp or split, and is of less weight and much stronger than the
handles now in use. The cylinder may be covered with yarn, wool, cotton or the
like material, plated, sewn, or otherwise attached, and have ends of metal or other
usual material.
Having now particularly described my invention what I claim is
A hollow cylinder handle made of rolled or compressed leather-board, paper or
other fibrous material substantially as herein before described.

Bicycle Sledges.
I, GEORG VON OTTO, of Deutsche Kaiser-Allee, in Blasewitz, in the Empire of
Germany, Sculptor, 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:-
Hitherto it has not been known how to render bicycles suitable and safe for use
on snow-covered roads, the india rubber tyres of these wheels constantly becoming
loose and sliding out of place. By the application of a sledge furnished with
springs I overcome these objections.
To that end as shown by the figure of the accompanying drawing I attach the
sledge A, which is composed of two iron bards a secured together, where it can be
easily reached, in front of the fork wherein the rear wheel turns and also connected
to the axle of this wheel. Clips B attached to the bands at their forward ends by
springs C are there secured to the frame of the machine while the rear portion of
the sledge is secured by springs D to arms E secured on the axle of the wheel.
These springs are similar on both sides of the sledge frame at front and rear but
the rear springs are preferably made stronger than the front ones.
springs C, D, act independently of each other and thereby equalize the pressure
on the india rubber tyre irrespective of the inclination of the wheel to either
side. The wheel revolves between the two portions of the sledge unhindered.
The
When the bicycle is unencumbered the rear wheel is slightly raised and the
sledge A. rests upon the ground. In order that the bicycle may move easily over the
street means are provided for the raising of the iron bands constituting the sledge.
The arms E are each made of two pieces e, e'; telescopic upon each other and
provided with slots 2 through which a bolt 3 having a thumb nut et enters for
securing the sledge at any desired height. The sledge performs the double
function of preventing the loosening of the tyre and of securing the equipoise.
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 1
claim is :-
A bicycle sledge constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described.

Improvements in and applicable to Horse Shoes and the like.
I JOHN DRAKE RAMSDEN of Church Street Elland in the County of York-
Shoeing Smith do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as.
follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct self-fastening and self sharpening cogs.
applicable to horse shoes so as to prevent the same from working loose and dropping
out, and also being self sharpening.
I preferably construct the shoes a trifle thicker at the toe and heel, by which.
I am enabled to apply a longer cog, this cog I construct with the top edge of the
conical shank round, oval, or of such a section as to prevent the same from forming
a burr in the inside of the recess of the shoe, as such burrs when formed prevent
the cog from being forced into the shoe, causing the same to work loose and drop.
out, by my construction of cog this is obviated, and the cogs may be worn
considerably longer.
My self sharpening cogs are fastened in the same manner and are made with
their edge hollowed or thinned the whole depth of the cog so as to penetrate the ice-
and remain sufficiently sharp until completely worn away.
Dated this Sixth day of August 1895.

page_text: such burr prevents the cog from being forced into and secured within the shoe,
causing the same to work loose and drop out, by my construction of cog this is
obviated, and the cogs may be worn considerably longer.
Also I preferably make my improved cogs self sharpening or of such a section
that they remain effective until completely worn away. I form the cogs with
bevelled or concave sides F thus presenting a thin edge the whole depth of the cog,
so more effectively penetrating the ice or other surface besides retaining a sharp
edge until completely worn away.
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 :-
1. Constructing the cogs of horse shoes and the like, with the edges or corners B
of the shank C of a round or other section for the purposes substantially as shown
and described.
2. Constructing the cogs of horse shoes and the like with bevelled or concave
