Improved Means for Attaching and Securing the Ends of Wires and
Wire Ropes.
I JOHN THOMSON RAE of Dee View, Cults, near Aberdeen, Scotland,
Mechanical 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 the present invention is to provide ready means of joining the
ends of wire and wire ropes, either together, or to a hook or eye, for engaging with
a ring or hook on a standard.
According to my invention, the end of a wire rope to be secured is inserted into
a taper socket thro' the smaller end, and the socket is filled in around the wire
with molten lead, cement, or other material, which will harden and become set.
By this means, the wire strands, which probably have become frayed, are firmly
held in the socket, and cannot be withdrawn, for the stronger the strain, the tighter
will be the grip of the filling substance on the uneven surface of the wire, owing to
the taper form of the socket.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 represents, in outside view, a double-ended taper socket for joining the
two ends of wire ropes.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, shewing the wire ropes secured in position.
Fig. 3 is a section of a single socket carrying a hook, and shewing a rope in
position.
The molten lead or other filling material may be run in either at the taper end,
as at Fig. 3, or thro' a runner hole, as at Figs. 1 and 2, the taper ends being
closed, first one and then the other, while each wire is being secured. The double
socket may sometimes be divided by a middle partition and the runner hole
dispensed with. Solid wire, if slightly roughened or enlarged, may likewise be
secured by means of my attachment.
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 :-
As a means of attachment for wires and wire ropes, a taper socket in conjunction
with a filling substance of lead, or equivalent material, which will harden and
become set, substantially as described with reference to the accompanying
drawing.

Improvements connected with Broughams and like Carriages.
I, THOMAS WILLOUGHBY NORTON ELVIN, of East Dereham, Norfolk, Coach
Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object, certain detail methods of constructing the bodies
of broughams and like vehicles.
1. To effect an easy entrance and exit.
2. To produce a good balance upon the wheels, and thereby obtain ease and
comfort to the occupants.
3. To lessen the draught.
4. To reduce the length from front to back, and thereby cause the vehicle to be
very compact.
In order to carry my invention into practice, I construct the body preferably
after the shape of a canoe which has a fixed or a shiftable head, and I arrange the
hind wheels about the centre of the body and the front wheels within about ten
inches of them.
I hinge the door, of which there is one only, to open from any portion of the
back of the body to give easy entrance and exit.
The step is a self acting folding one to open and close with the door and is
connected by a rod pivotted to the door just below the hinge seam.
I purpose fitting a ventilating cowl or hood to the roof in addition to the usual
louvre strips over the side glasses, which with their frames can be lowered into
the lower part of the body as well as the front sash or sashes according to whether
the front body be of a fixed, or of a shiftable head portion.
The lower part of the body is of "well" shape and the hind axle is cranked.
The seat occupies the same position as an ordinary brougham but to enable an easy
entrance, I hinge a half seat at the entrance which can be folded up and down
with facility.
The vehicle thus constructed is specially applicable for medical practitioners, and
purpose calling it "Elvin's Chirurgeon Brougham."

WILLIAM THOMAS FOX 25 St. Philip's Road Preston in the County of
Lancaster Managing Director, and THE LONGRIDGE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
LIMITED, Longridge near Preston in the County of Lancaster, 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 weave ornamental fabrics, having a novel and
peculiar character suitable for ladies dresses or the borders of under skirts.
In existing fabrics suitable for conversion into ladies dresses or the borders of
under skirts the ornamentation of lace or open work fabrics have been produced by
an embroidery machine which is very expensive, to obviate this we weave into the
fabrics ornamentation of various kinds, open fabrics or otherwise, but notably satin
stripes, spots, dobby or jacquard work of any description, lenos, lace lenos or
gauze patterns, in conjunction with crimps or otherwise, from the above explanation
it will be readily understood that by forming a pattern composed of a broad stripe
crimp followed by a narrow stripe of plain cloth, after this place a broad stripe of
lace leno followed by a narrow stripe of plain cloth with another stripe of crimp,
that this arrangement would form a very ornamental border either for ladies
dresses or under skirts, in the above manner a variety of patterns may be employed,
and the rotation of stripes may be more or less to suit any requirements, and may be
placed in any order during the weaving of the fabric.
Ornamental patterns may be woven of crimps only, composed of an assortment
of broad and narrow stripes, or we can weave ornamental patterns composed of
various widths of stripes of lace leno patterns only, or we can weave ornamental
patterns of crimps, lace lenos in conjunction with stripes of dobby and jacquard
work of any description.
The borders of dresses or under skirts may be woven any width with either one
design or a variety of designs for the purpose of ornamental edging.
The ornamentation may be in colours either dyed or otherwise.
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 :-
The mode above described of producing ornamental fabrics with borders of lenos,
lace lenos, gauze, dobby or jacquard work, crimps &c., either singly or in com-
bination, plain or coloured for the ornamentation of ladies dresses, or the borders
of underskirts.

Improvements in Horse-shoes.
I, ERNST GATZMANGA, Blacksmith, of 20 Mauritiusstr., Breslau, Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My present invention consists of a horse shoe provided with an inlaid rubber-
part, attached underneath it in such manner as to be easily removeable, so that the-
same, when worn out can be conveniently replaced. The main object of the said
inlaid rubber part is to prevent the stumbling and falling of horses when running
on smooth ground. Horse shoes, however, constructed according to my invention
have the further advantage of greatly relieving. diseased or damaged hoofs as the.
rubber part reduces the concussion or shock to a minimum, when the horse is:
running on hard roads.
In order to make my invention more clearly intelligible reference is had to the
accompanying drawings, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout
the several views:
Fig. 1 shows the shoe in plan and Fig. 2 the rubber part, Fig. 3 is a section on:
line a b Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 a section on line c d Fig. 1.
The rubber part A has a curved wire B running right round it and terminating
at its ends y z in the iron part of the shoe. The curved wire B extends out of the
rubber part in a bow at a, which fits into a corresponding depression in the iron
shoe. By this means the rubber part is securely held in position in the shoe,.
whilst if required, it may be easily removed by raising it at about E, when it
springs out.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is performed what I claim is :-
1) A horse shoe having an inlaid rubber part A secured to the iron part of the
shoe by a wire running through said rubber part and extending at certain points
into the iron shoe substantially as described.
2) A horse shoe of the construction substantially as described and illustrated im
the accompanying drawings.

I, THOMAS GEORGE WORBEY of 20 Alder Street Peckham in the County of
Surrey, Mathematical Scale Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved process for the manufacture of scales
whereby scales such as used for plotting surveys and the like may be produced
more economically and expeditiously than heretofore without impairing the accuracy
of the divisions formed thereon.
According to my invention instead of engraving the necessary divisions and
indications of a scale upon a wooden bar or rule as heretofore I engrave the same
upon a matrix consisting preferably of celluloid. I then subject this matrix to an
electrotypic operation in a metallic bath whereby a metal deposit is formed on the
engraved surface of the celluloid the divisions and indications which were in intaglio
therein being now in relief in the metal type thus produced.
This type is now used to print the divisions and indications upon the bar of box
or other wood selected to form the scale and suitably prepared for this purpose.
As these plates are not very durable I may produce any number of them without
having to engrave each time a fresh celluloid plate.
1 take a mould of wax from the metal plate aforesaid wherein the divisions and
indications will be in intaglio and I obtain a metal type therefrom by electrotype in
the same manner as before, this type carrying the divisions and indications in
relief and being used to print same on the wooden bar destined to be made into a
scale.
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 new or improved process for manufacturing and reproducing scales and the

Improved Combined Substances for the Development of
Photographic Images.
I, JULIUS HAUFF, of Feuerbach, near Stuttgart, Germany, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In completing experiments with the series of the diamido compounds of phenol
and cresols for the purpose of testing their utility in the development of photo-
graphs on halogen gelatino silver plates, and on halogen gelatino silver paper
it has been found that besides the o-p-diamidophenol, the o-p-diamido-o-cresol
and o-p-diamidometacresol can be used as developing means in the same manner
as the first mentioned compound. Likewise can these two new developing sub-
stances bring out the latent image in combination with sulphites of the alkalis,
or sulphite of ammonium, without the presence of free alkalis, or of carbonates
of the alkalis while in the same manner as for diamidophenol their developing
power exceeds that of the other developing means.
As an example, I may use ;
100 cub. cent. of water.
0-5 gramme of diamidocresol.
5 gramme of the crytallized sulphite of an alkali.
It may be remarked that by increasing the addition of the sulphite, the reducing
power is likewise increased while this power can be decreased by the addition of
acids, (preferably of sulphurous acid) or of bromides or chlorides of the alkalis, so
that the manner of using the developing substance for more or less exposed plates
becomes obvious. Instead of neutral sulphites, acid sulphites may be used when
at the same time all or only a portion of the free acid is neutralized by means of
carbonates or bicarbonates, the recipe being thus capable of generalization.
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 employment of o-p-diamido-o-cresol and of o-p-diamido-m-cresol in com-
bination with soluble sulphites (such as sulphite of soda, sulphite of potash, sulphide
of ammonium, sulphite of lithium) for developing photographic images on layers
containing halogen silver.

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 umbrella sticks and such like and is for the purpose of
enabling the umbrella to be placed more centrally over the head of the user, thus
affording a more complete shelter from rain etc. and which advantage is not obtained
by the use of the umbrellas as at present constructed. To carry this invention
into effect I provide suitable joints in connection with the stick of the umbrella so
as to enable the umbrella to be thrown out of the line of the stick as will be seen
from the accompanying drawing in which
Fig. 1 shows side elevation, partly in section of my invention folded.
Fig. 2. plan of same when unfolded.
a is a piece of tube which is pivotted at to a forked sliding piece d contained
in tube and controlled by spring e, the forkes of which are pivoted at h to the
tube a.
c piece secured to tube by screws and provided with locking piece
which engages in holes i & m in the pieces a shewn in section, the piece a is slotted
atj to enable the locking piece to pass from the hole m to the hole i or vice versa.
A similar arrangement as above described is provided in the joint at opposite
end of tube f. The action is as follows. When the tube a is pulled, it pulls with
it the piece d and the tube a can then be revolved upon its pivot owing to the
locking piece being disengaged from the socket m & when in an unfolded position
as shewn in Figure 2 the locking piece / enters the socket i. This joint is fixed ou
any part of the length of the umbrella stick 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.
(1.) The combined construction and arrangement of the joint in combination
with an unbrella or other stick substantially as described and for the purpose set
forth.
(2.) The method of placing the umbrella centrally over a person by providing
the umbrella with joints so as to form a two right angle whereby the full covering
of the umbrella is obtained substantially as described.

A Novel Frieze-like Fabric and the Process or Method of Making
the same.
1, WILLIAM JANSSEN of Chemnitz, 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:-
This invention consists of a novel frieze-like fabric and the process or method
of making the same. For the purpose of my invention I take the well-known
knitted fabric or web such as is produced on circular frames, or on flat frames, or
on any of the frames working with open, tongue or ledge needles and which knitted
fabric or web has a backing of threads of wool, cotton, silk or other fibrous
material.
This knitted fabric or web which is known as stockinet shows on the one side the
ordinary regular knitted meshes and on the other or rough side the threads of
wool, cotton, silk &c. bound by the finer threads of the knitted web.
I first subject the fabric to a nap raising process in any suitable napping machine
so as to convert the rough side into a fleecy state and for the purpose of my
invention I prefer to use a knitted fabric in which wool is the material that forms
the threads of the rough side.
The fleece produced by the napping machine on the backing of the knitted web
is next submitted to the action of n friezing machine of suitable construction in
order to convert the said fleece into a frieze-like surface resembling lambskin,
ratteen or petersham. The frieze-like fabric thus obtained is well suited for
wearing apparel, decorative or other purposes.
The fabric may be dyed before the nap raising process in order to obtain the
finished frieze-like fabric in any desired color. Or the wool threads, before being
bound into the knitted web threads may be colored or dyed so as to obtain any
desired color in the frieze side of the finished fabric.
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. As a new article of manufacture, a knitted fabric or web showing on the one
side the ordinary or regular knitted meshes, and on the other side a frieze-like
surface produced substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The process or method hereinbefore described of making a frieze-like fabric
which consists in first converting the rough side or backing of a knitted fabric or
stockinet into a fleece by means of a napping machine and then subjecting the
fleece to the action of a friezing machine, whereby the fleece is converted into a
frieze-like surface, as set forth.

Improvements in Engine Packings.
We, HARRY GORDON SMALL, and GEORGE WILLIAM PARKES, both of the
Cable Mills, Glasshouse Street, Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Engine
Packing 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:—
This invention relates to an improved construction of engine packing which may
be employed generally and which is particularly adapted for use in cases where.
high pressure of steam is used.
The improved packing consists of a convenient number of strands plaited braided
or intertwined together to produce the required form. Each of the strands consists
of a core of wires around which yarn is laid or braided, and the packing may or
may not contain a central core. If a central core be used, we prefer that it is
constructed similarly to the individual strands, but any suitable form and con-
struction of core may be used.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in what manner we prefer to construct our
improved packing.
In this drawing, A A are the individual strands, each of which consists of
the wire core B, and a surrounding of yarn. The wire core may be formed of
one or more wires, and if of more than one they may be parallel or twisted
together. The wires may be lead, an alloy of lead, or other suitable comparatively
soft metal or alloy. The yarn may be of cotton hemp asbestos or other suitable
fibrous material as may be determined for the particular use for which the packing
is destined. Before this yarn is laid plaited or braided thereon, the core B may or
may not be served with a surrounding of similar yarn C.
As shewn in the drawing, the strands are braided upon a centre consisting of a
group of wires, a serving of yarn D, a braiding of yarn, and an outer braiding of
yarn E but this centre may be wholly omitted, or be substituted by any other
suitable centre as in packings of ordinary construction.
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-
Engine packing consisting wholly or principally of several strands braided
plaited or intertwined together each of the several strands being composed of a
wire core and a surrounding or surroundings of yarn, constructed substantially as
hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
