Improvements in Clarionets.
I, HENRY ERNEST KLUSSMANN, of 23, Berners Street, London, Musical Instru-
ment Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this my invention is to obviate the difficulty of fingering with the
fourth finger of left hand in the middle of the instrument. At the same time the
G-sharp key can be used in the old way if desired.
The old fingering of the notes is retained and no alteration is made in the
production of any individual note or notes.
In this invention the G-sharp is left as before but with this addition that I have
a duplicate G-sharp hole and key worked with the second or third finger of the
right hand.
By my invention the little finger of the hand is left entirely free for the use
of the long B-natural and. C-sharp keys. The performer is thus enabled to play
with greater ease passages hitherto impossible."

An Improved Railway Chair Key or Wedge.
I, ANTON HUGO BEYER, of 3, Honor Oak Park, London, S.E., Professor of
Singing, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be porformed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved railway chair key or wedge, and has
for its object to provide an article of this class which shall be more efficient in
use than the key or wedge of the ordinary kind, while at the same time, pro-
viding an article which shall be simple of construction, and easy of manufacture.
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood
and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying
sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein:-
Fig. 1, is a perspective view of a railway chair key or wedge; constructed in
accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2, being a similar view shewing the practical application of the invention.
Referring to these drawings, wherein like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts throughout, a is a rectangular wooden key or wedge of ordinary
construction. Through this key aa circular hole is bored transversely, the
said hole 6 being of any convenient size and situated about midway of the
length of the said key a. Through this hole a small portion of india-rubber
or other similar tubing is passed and arranged, so that approximately equal
lengths extend each side of the said key a, while the outer diameter of the
tubing is such that it fits snugly the hole 6 bored to receive it.
In operation, the key or wedge a is inserted between the rail d and the face e
of the chair and driven in in the usual manner, when the india-rubber or other
similar tubing c will obviously double over and lay between the key and the
rail on one side, and the key and an inner side surface of the chair on the other
side.
It will be found that key or wedges of this construction will be less liable
to shake loose as the result of the vibration caused by passing trains, than the
koys of usual construction, and will remain firm considerably longer than those
in use at the present time.
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 railway chair key or wedge, consisting of a wooden or other
similar key or wedge of ordinary construction having a hole bored transversely
through it about midway of its length through which hole passes a short length
of tubing of india-rubber or other similar material, substantially as and for the
purpose herein before described and shown.

Improvements in the Methods of Chlorination for the Extraction of
Metals from their Ores, Concentrates, Tailings, Slimes, and the like.
I, ERNEST HAROLD STURGE, of 41, Colville Gardens, Bayswater, London, W.,
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
My invention is essentially a new method of chlorination and the consequent
improvements in the mode of applying the clorinating medium to the materials
under treatment whereby the metals are extracted or lixiviated and brought
into such a condition that they may be subsequently separated or precipitated.
The ore or material to be treated, which may have been prepared by roasting
or in other ways, having been crushed or ground to a sufficiently fine state of
division is treated with a solution of alum, sulphate of alumina or other suit-
able sulphate or per-sulphate, to which is afterwards added a solution of calcium
hypochlorite or other hypochlorite. As a result chlorine is liberated, which, in
its nascent state is exceedingly active in dissolving gold and other metals treated;
or the solution of the hypochlorite and the sulphate or persulphate may be
previously mixed together and then added to the material under treatment;
or the hypochlorite and the sulphate or persulphate may be first mixed in the
dry state with the material to be treated, after which a sufficient quantity of
water is added to bring the salts into solution.
When the lixiviation or leaching
upon the class of materials under treatment, the liquor containing the metals is
completed, the duration of which depends
treated further by the methods now in use.
The strength of the solutions employed and the time required for lixiviation
depend on the nature of the materials treated.

Improvements in Kinematograpns.
I, LADISLAUS EMANUEL GRANICHISTAEDTEN, of 28A, Basinghall Street, in the
City of London, Merchant, 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 means for storing endless films.
The film is stored in loose folds or convolutions in a closed box which has
both an inlet and an outlet. The film is positively driven into this box by
means of rollers, wheels or pulleys and at the same time it is fed out through
the outlet.
The storage box is separated from the machinery driving the film and is used
for storage alone.
Figure 1 of the drawings annexed shows a box a into which the film is driven
by the pinwheel c engaging with holes in its edge. The film is endless and
issues from the box between the guide rollers e whence it passes over other
guide rollers ff past the lens g. As the means for drawing the film past the
lens and for holding it during exposure form no part of this invention they are
omitted from the drawings. After exposure the film is drawn by the wheel c
past guide rollers h and driven into the box. k is the casing of the machine.
Figure 2 shows to an enlarged scale the connection of the wheel c by the
bevel wheels to the shaft m driven in any convenient way from the main
shaft of the machine. Fast with the wheel is a short spindle n ending in a

page_text: cup into which fits a sleeve m¹ adjustable in height on the bottom of the
shaft m. By this means the box can be readily disconnected from the machine
if required. When it is desired to use another film, the box can be opened and
the film changed.
It will be seen that the storage box has the side along which the film passes
on entering sloped so as to facilitate the movement of the film in the process of
storage.
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. Positively driving an endless film after exposure into a box used solely for
storage in which it lies in loose folds and from which it is drawn for exposure
substantially as described.
2. Apparatus substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings for
storing endless films for kinematographs.

1, BENJAMIN HIND, of 37, Moor Oaks Road, City of Sheffield, Works Manager,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
:-
My invention relates more particularly to the handles or shanks of sheep
shears, and has for its object to enable the shearer to retain a firmer grip of the
implement while at the same time it reduces the weight, and tends to keep the
hand cool.
It consists in perforating the said shanks with a number of holes of any
desired size shape and number, for example round holes of quarter of an inch
diameter; or I may combine perforations and grooves to produce the same result.
The perforations may if desired be filled with a light substance such as cork,
leather or the like.

ROBT. F. DRURY, C.P.A.,
Agent for Applicant, Bank Buildings, George Street, Sheffield.
I, BENJAMIN HIND, of 37, Moor Oaks Road, City of Sheffield, Works Manager,
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 of improvements relating to sheep shears, refers more par-
ticularly to the handles or shanks of such shears, having for its object to enable
the shearer to retain a firmer grip of the implement without any increased
exertion, and to permit the passage of air to the interior of the users hand,
at the same time to reduce the weight of the shears.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings, to which I
shall refer:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the lower portion of a pair of sheep shears according
to my invention.
Fig. 2, a cross section of shank through
r.
My invention consists in providing each shank B, with a number of perfora-
tions or apertures A, which may be of any shape, but preferably round holes
of quarter of an inch diameter or thereabouts, and in some cases I combine with
them longitudinal grooves or channels leading from one hole to another.

page_text: I may also fill some of the perforations with leather, cork, or other suitable
substance to form studs slightly, projecting from the surface of the shanks to
give a grip to the hand.
By my invention less power is required to hold the shear while shearing,
which is a great relief to the shearer, and the hand is also kept much cooler
than with a solid shank.
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:-
2
1. In a sheep shear, providing one or both shanks B, with a number of
perforations (such as those marked-A) to permit the passage of air to the hand
of the user, as hereinbefore described and shown.
2. In a sheep shear, 'constructing one or both shanks with a number of holes,
all the said holes or only a portion of them filled. with plugs of leather, cork,
or like material, as herein before described. ".

Improvements in or relating to Dyeing Vats.
We, JOSEPH BÜNDGENS, of 40, Stephanstrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle, and LUDWIG
BUNDGENS, of 15, Gerlachstrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle, in the German Empire,
Machine 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:—
In the dyeing vats used hitherto having chambers or spaces for mixing the dye
arranged in the space for dyeing, it often happens that the dyestuff placed into
the mixing chamber passes through the perforated wall separating the mixing
chamber from the dyeing chamber before it is completely dissolved, and thus
coming in contact with the material to be dyed renders it spotty or uneven in
colour.
According to the present invention this drawback is obviated by closing or
interrupting the communication between the mixing chamber M and the dyeing
chamber until the dyestuff has become completely dissolved.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a cross section and
Figure 2 a longitudinal. section of the improved dyeing vat.
In the vat F the perforations of the partition wall A are closed or partly closed
by means of a cover C movable along the wall A by means of a screw-spindle B.
This arrangement has the advantage of enabling the closing and opening of the
perforations to be effected very quickly. The cover might of course be con-
structed to move vertically instead of horizontally in order to close the perforations
in the partition A or any other closing device may be employed.
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:-
1. A dyeing vat provided with a mixing chamber, in which the openings between
the two chambers are capable of being completely or partially closed substantially
as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete dyeing
vat substantially as described.

Improvements in Ventilating, Humidifying, Warming and Cooling,
and Disinfecting Apparatus.
I, HENRY SIDEBOTTOM, of Flixton Road, Urmston, in the County of Lancaster,
Hydraulic 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 object is to form a ventilating and humidifying apparatus of a more
convenient form and at less cost than has heretofore been done.
This I accomplish by fitting within a suitable trunk or shaft, a suitable cir-
cular air fan.
This fan is driven by means of a small jet or jets of pressure water caused
to play upon the sides of the blades of the fan.
I prefer to use two jets, one above and one below, the fan, by the use of one
or other of which, the direction of the rotation of the fan may be changed, so
as to inject, or eject, air as required.
The water is driven from the fan into the air in the trunk in the form of fine
spray and its admission into the place ventilated can be regulated by means of
screens made of wire gauze or other suitable material so as to give any desired
degree of humidity to the air injected.
By warming or cooling the water used to drive the fan, I am also able to warm
or cool the air injected to any temperature desired.
The sprayed water is also very effective in washing and cleansing the air
injected, and it is apparent that by a suitable admixture of chemicals the air
can be efficiently disinfected in its passage either outwards or inwards.
Fig. 1 shows a cross section of my apparatus in its simplest form, a indicating

f indicates a moveable gauze screen for use in regulating the degree of
humidity.
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:

I, IGNAZ TIMAR, of No. 14, Kommandanten Strasse, Berlin, S.W., Director,
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 an improvement in "thermosphores" or heat
conserving apparatus for the purpose of avoiding the heating hitherto or the
dissolving of heating substance thereof such as acetate of soda or the like, by
means of boiling water or steam, as has hitherto been customary, and of render-
ing it possible to prepare the thermosphore for use by placing it directly on a
hot plate or on the fire.
The object of the invention is illustrated in one constructional form in the
accompanying drawing in vertical section. The thermosphore proper 1 consists
as usual of two vessels, one placed inside the other, between which is the filling 2,
consisting preferably of acetate of soda, hydrate of barium or the like.
Beneath or round the outer vessel 3 a third bottom or vessel 4 is suitably
arranged. This vessel or bottom may be applied to the bottom of the vessel 3 by
simply slipping the same within it as shewn, or it may also be fastened thereto
by means of a screw, thread or any other suitable method.
The space between the bottoms 3 and 4 may also be filled with suitable insula-
ting material such as kieselguhr (fossil meal) ashes or the like.
By means of the arrangement of these bottoms a uniform supply of heat is
transmitted from the source thereof to the saline mass which is prevented from
heating too quickly in parts and its melting takes place equally and without
decomposition throughout the whole mass.
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
Improved heat conserving apparatus in which the outer vessel (3) is surrounded
by a third vessel, or has a third bottom (4) attached underneath it for the purpose
of enabling the filling substance to be melted directly on a hot plate or on the
fire, substantially as described.

I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Chartered Patent
Agents & Engineers, of 65 & 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say:-
This invention relates to a pessary for surgical use, and it has for its object
to provide a pessary which when introduced into the inatrix in the compressed
state or closed together, re-expands when released, taking its original shape,
without absorbing or imbibing atmospheric air or other substance or matter,
such, for example, as fluid contained in the vagina.
In order to attain the said object the improved pessary consists of a hollow
body of elastic, air-tight material such for example as indiarubber, this body
being enclosed in a casing of similar material into which the air contained in
the inner hollow body can escape through a small aperture in the latter when
the pessary is squeezed through. As soon as the pressure on the appliance
ceases, the air returns into the hollow inner body and the pessary takes its
original shape.
In the accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the improved
appliance,
Figure 1 represents a cross section, when in its ordinary shape;
Figure 2 illustrates the same when being squeezed together.
** is the elastic hollow body above described, b the flexible casing enclosing
the said body and c the aperture in the latter, for the passage of the air.
When squeezed, this appliance is easily introduced into the vagina.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A pessary for surgical purposes, consisting of an air-tight casing (b) enclos-
ing a hollow body (a) of elastic material, the air contained in the latter being
enabled to partly escape into the said casing, through an aperture (e) in the
hollow body (a), when the appliance is squeezed together, substantially as and

Improvements in Electric Motors.
I, ALEXANDER HEYLAND, of 6, Rue de Brabant, Charleroi, in the Kingdom of
Belgium, Consulting 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 this invention in order to obtain a large difference in phase by means of a
phase splitting device and consequently a powerful starting torque or impulse
in uniphase alternating current motors, the windings are not, in an arrangement
according to my invention placed, as has been usual hitherto, within a number
of like grooves, more or less open but I provide a novel arrangement which
consists of dissimilar windings the winding with the small difference in phase
being placed in open, or very imperfectly closed grooves; while the winding
in which there is a great angle of lag or a large phase difference is placed
within grooves closed by a somewhat considerable amount of iron; that is the
openings are sunk more deeply into the iron than is the case with the winding
with a small difference in phase.
It is well known that the difference in phase rapidly increases where the
magnetic relation is defective and gives rise to a leakage of the lines of force.
By placing the windings with larger difference of phase in entirely closed
openings as aforesaid the leakage of the magnetic field is sensibly augmented.
Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing illustrate the arrangement of
the winding with the larger difference in phase carried out in accordance with
this invention while the winding a of smaller difference in phase is as usual
placed in open grooves (Figure 1) or in imperfectly closed grooves (Figure 2).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
In uni-phase alternating current motors two windings arranged in such manner
that the winding with the smaller difference in phase is enclosed in grooves
which are either open or imperfectly closed while the winding with the larger
difference in phase is placed in grooves or apertures closed by a considerable
amount of iron or sunk within the iron substantially as herein before explained.

Nailless Horse Shoe.
We, JOHN FRANKLIN EDDS, Inventor, and DANIEL NICOLICOUS WADE, Farmer,
both of Heidenheimer, County of Bell, Texas, U.S.A., do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of the invention is to provide a shoe which may be easily and quickly
attached to and removed from the hoof of an animal without the employment of
nails, thus preventing the hoof being broken and otherwise damaged by the driving
of nails.
With this object in view the invention consists in certain features of construc-
tion and combination of parts.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved horseshoe.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line xx, of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line y-y, of Fig. 2. 1 is the shoe, which may be
of any well-known or approved construction. The outer edges of this shoe, at the
rear of the toe 2 and in advance of the heel 3, are provided with longitudinal
recesses 4.
5 is a clamping-plate, which is provided with an angular base 6, firmly riveted
in one of the recesses.
7 is an opposing clamping-plate, which is provided with an angular base 8,
adapted to fit the other recess. The forward end of this angular base 8 is pivoted
in a recess near the toe of the shoe by a pivot 8', while the rear end is provided
with an elongated transverse aperture 9, through which a set-screw 10 extends and
engages a screw-threaded aperture in the side of the shoe.
In applying the shoe, the pivoted clamping-plate is swung outwardly and the
shoe adjusted to the hoof of the animal, and by drawing the pivoted clamping-pin
inwardly the hoof will be firmly and securely clamped between the two plates,
thus rendering it unnecessary to drive nails in the hoof and at the same time
permitting of the ready removal of the shoe.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying
drawing, the construction, operation, and advantages of the device will be readily
apparent.
The device is exceedingly simple, may be made at small cost, and is well
adapted for the purpose for which it is designed.
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 :-
A horseshoe having in its outer sides at the rear of the toe 2, longitudinal
recesses that extend adjacent to the heel of the shoe; in combination with two

page_text: clamping-plates each of which is provided with an angular base, the base of one
plate being fixed in one of said recesses, and the base of the other plate being
pivoted in the other recess, and a set-screw extending transversely through the
opposite end of the pivoted base and into the shoe, substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Oscillating Shuttles of Sewing Machines.
We, BRADBURY & CO. LIMITED, of Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, Sewing
Machine and Cycle Manufacturers, and STANLEY COOPER, of 258, Waterloo Street.
Oldham, aforesaid, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
Our said invention relates to that type of shuttles in sewing machines which
are oscillated on a central axis within a circular race as is well understood. In
such shuttles the reel for the thread is contained partially within the hollow body
of the shuttle and partly within a hollow cap which is hinged so as to provide
means for removing and inserting the reel. An objection to such shuttles lies
in the fact that the capacity of the reels is limited necessitating the frequent
stoppage of the machine to renew the supply of thread upon the reel or to insert
a full reel. It is not practicable to overcome this objection by increasing the
depth of the cap and employing a reel of greater width as this would necessitate
the formation of a larger loop of top thread to pass the increased side protuber-
ance on the shuttle, with a consequent slowing of the machine.
We have experimented however with a view to overcome this defect and have
ascertained that a boss or protuberance on the side of the shuttle opposite to
and of about the same proportions and contour of the hollow hinged cap offers
no obstruction to the formation of the lock stitch nor necessitates any slowing
of the machine.
Our invention therefore consists essentially in providing the body of the shuttle
opposite to the hinged cap with a hollow boss or cavity of the same depth and
shape as the hinged cap or thereabouts. We can therefore use a reel of greater
width than heretofore and thus largely increase its thread carrying capacity
Moreover the shuttle is more perfectly balanced as the body is provided at each
side with practically identical protuberances or bosses.

Means for Supporting Locomotive Engines for Towing Vessels in
Localities where there is no Room for Two Ordinary Rails.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co., LIMITED, of 12; Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster,
S.W., in the County of London, Electrical Engineers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by Siemens & Halske
Aktien Gesellschaft, of Markgrafen Strasse No. 94, Berlin, S.W., Germany,
Electrical Engineers), and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
When ships are towed on canals or other waterways by means of locomotive
engines running on the banks, difficulties are liable to occur ini those places where
there is not sufficient space for the usual two rails for the running wheels,
The present invention has for its object to obviate such difficulties as we will
describe with reference to the accompanying drawing.
M represents the towing locomotive, the wheels R R of which ordinarily run
upon the rails Li L. In localities where there is no room for the second rail L³,
the locomotive only runs upon the one rail L' which may, if necessary be carried
by brackets C fixed to the wall U of a building, bridge, rivetment, or the like
on the bank of the waterway and in place of the second ordinary rail Lª there is
provided an overhead rail S, also fixed by brackets C to the wall U, against which
rail runs a wheel F carried on a vertical axis on the top of the locomotive, thus
effectually supporting the latter in its overhanging position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed; we declare that what
we claim is:-
In installations for towing ships on waterways by means of locomotive engines
running on the banks supporting the engine in those places where there is not rooni
for two rails side by side by means of a single ordinary rail in combination with
an overhead rail against which bears a wheel on a vertical axis carried on the
top of the engine, substantially as described.
