Improvements in Stencil Plates for Painters and Decorators.
I, GEORG GROSSHEIM, of 6 to 8 Wülfingstrasse, Elberfeld, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of this invention is a stencil plate for painters and decorators which
independantly of its greater duration will impart a better appearance than could
possibly be obtained with the stencil plates hitherto used.
The accompanying drawings show a plan view of such a stencil plate.
In the stencil plates hitherto used such as are generally found in commerce, the
finer parts or details of the drawing were held or connected together at short
distances from one another by means of partition or connecting bars or pieces.
With these kind of stencils very fine work could not be conveniently executed
as the contour lines appeared broken when the work was finished in those parts of
the stencils which were held by the connecting bars, thus forming breaks or
interruptions which gave an incorrect and irregular aspect to the ornamental
representations or drawings so that it was necessary in decorative work of the
best character to touch up the defective parts by hand. The stencil plates.
constructed or connected in this manner had moreover the defects that after some
usage the said connecting parts as well as the finer parts or details of the stencil
plates broke so that little by little the whole stencil plate became useless.
According to my invention 1 treat stencil plates in such a manner that where
the contours or outlines are fully cut out I cover one side with a thin fabric or
gauze which is glued to the stencil plate and having wide meshes whereby a stencil
plate is produced which is thoroughly durable in common use.
The separate
threads of the fabric do not prevent the formation of an uninterrupted line, as they
are so slender that by painting well over them the color runs under the threads of
the various meshes. The fabric may be likewise replaced by a row of parallel
threads which yield the same advantages and can moreover be used for wains-
coting &c., &c.
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:-
Stencil plates for painters and decorators characterized by a covering of guaze
with wide meshes or parallel threads applied on one side of the stencil plate as a
substitute for the connecting bars hitherto used.

Improvement in Packing for all kinds of Stuffing Boxes.
I, JAMES WALKER of 7 Love Lane Shadwell London E., Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention has for its object the refitting of a metal wearing face or neck
bush to any stuffing box. This invention constitutes a floating neck bush which
will move with the rod sideways, and thereby protecting the packing in the stuffing
box, from the action of heat or pressure.
For the purpose of my invention the packing is made of metal, but so constructed
that it can be adjusted to the rod from time to time as required.
The accompanying drawings represent the construction and manner of carrying
out my invention.
Fig. 1 represents a stuffing box and piston rod. The stuffing box E is fitted
with three rings as shewn A. B. C. B is the packing ring which fits the rod; it
is made in two halves and fastened together with bolts as shewn Fig. 3.
The top and bottom rings are shewn at A & C. These are made to fit the
box in two halves fastened together by half check and screws as shewn Fig. 2.
These rings are slack on the rod and may be made to the dotted lines, A. to fit
the bevel or neck bush and C with a bevel to take the packing in the space E.
The ring B slides or moves on the rings A & C. In this way the rod may move
sideways still keeping a tight box while the rod moves; a recess or baffle space is
cut in the sliding surfaces, the one on the rod shewn at D.
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 constructing of neck bush as set forth in the Specifications and drawings.

the following statement :-
My invention relates to seats to be used with ordinary chamber pots to adapt
them for the use of children or to make them more comfortable for the use of adults
& invalids in place of other special contrivances.
For this purpose I make of wood, or other suitable material or composition,
circular rings rounded off on their top sides, the under sides being either flat or
concave.
On the undersides when flat I fix three projections or stops to engage with the
inner edges of the pots to keep the rings in a central position.
When the undersides are concave I continue the inner edges of the rings down-
wards to project into the pots & I further provide these inner edges with three
lateral projections to steady the rings against the pots.
The internal diameters of the rings I make about six inches & the external.
diameter I make about ten inches.
These rings make safe, comfortable & healthy seats for children, adults, or invalids,
& are particularly suitable for use when travelling.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-

Improvements in Chimney and Ventilating Shaft Tops.
1, JÜRGEN PETER BRUHN, Manufacturer of Von der Tannstrasse F Kiel, in the
Province of Schleswig and Kingdom of Prussia 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 chimney-top represented in the annexed drawing and which can be made of
metal, clay, masonry etc. is intended to afford a sure protection against all injurious
influences caused by wind, rain, sunshine and the like. This top consists chiefly of
the tube A, which is provided with an opening a for cleaning purposes and capable
of being closed. The tube A bears on its upper edge, which is bent downwards
the mantle B, forming a number (in the drawing 4) of hollow spaces b. To this
fringe there is attached the double-cone C, the lower point of which projects into
the tube A.
The upper part of the double-cone is intended to cause the wind which strikes
against it from above in a slanting direction, to be thrown downwards into the
hollow spaces and thus to increase the draught of the chimney. The greatest
circumference of the double-cone is so arranged, that it exceeds the circumference
of the chimney pipe A by a considerable amount. It is therefore utterly impossible
that the smoke should be driven back into the chimney by the wind pressing on it
from the top; but on the contrary the smoke, being protected from above by the
double-cone and from the side by the wreath B against the wind, can pass out
unhindered from the ring-shaped slit d, formed between the cone and the walls of
the chimney, downwards in the direction of the arrow.
In order to prevent the smoke from being hindered in any way from passing out,
the partitions d₁ are provided between the double cone and the adjoining parts of
the mantle B. These partitions shut off each of the hollow spaces 6 from the other.
In order to increase the draught in the chimney, the flues D of the form as sho vn
in Figs. 1 and 2 are arranged corresponding to the number of the hollow spaces
of the mantle, below it in the walls of the chimney. In case the chimney-top is to
be used for tall chimneys, these flues may be arranged in several rows below each
other.
As has already been mentioned the number of the hollow spaces band of the
flues D may vary according to desire.
The above described chimney-top may also be used as ventilator; the flues D as
well as the cleaning door a may be omitted, and a correspondingly increased
number of mantle-openings 6 be provided.
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.) Chimney top, distinguished by the arrangement of the double-cone C on the
chimney-tube in connection with a mantle provided with hollow-spaces b.
In the chimneyston as distinguished under 1) the arrangement of the

Improvements in Ball Bearings.
1, ADOLF SCHMIDT, of Brandenburg-on-the-Havel, in the Empire of 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 :-
My invention relates to ball bearings and has for its object on the one hand to
obtain a dust-tight joint and on the other hand to enable the proper cleaning to
be effected by simple injection without any necessity for taking the bearing
to pieces.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a ball bearing for velocipedes which is provided with these
improvements;
Figure 2 shows a ball bearing as heretofore constructed.
In the ball bearings constructed up to the present time (Figure 2) is usually
provided on the half a of the bearing, which in velocipedes is mostly fixed to the
frame hox b, a radially projecting fixed edge or loose edge or disc c.
This edge
serves for making a dust-tight joint, inasmuch as the second half f of the bearing,
which is mostly secured upon the axle d, bears against the same in the manner shown
in Figure 2. But this edge c, projecting beyond the interior edge of the half a of
the bearing, prevents the oil from running out and therefore does not enable the
bearing to be cleaned by injection.
This defect is remedied in the construction of the bearing represented in Figure 1.
Here the edge c is entirely dispensed with, so that there is nothing to prevent the
cleaning of the bearing by injection.
In order to avoid the penetration of dust the half ƒ of the bearing is set off or
recessed interiorly and extends with the edge g thus formed in the axial direction
into the half a of the bearing Figure 1. The outflow of the oil during the
injection is however not prevented by this edge, which permits the oil together with
the dirt contained therein to flow out without obstruction.
Accordingly the bearing may be cleaned without any need for taking it to
pieces, which is not the case with the well-known ball bearings having a dust-tight
joint.
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 [
claim is :-
A ball bearing having a dust-tight joint, in which, in lieu of a radially projecting
edge e arranged on the fixed half a of the bearing, an axially projecting edge g is
provided on the rotary halff of the bearing and extends into the fixed half a of the
latter, for the purpose of enabling the bearing to be cleaned by injection.

Complete Specification Left, 30th Jan., 1896-Accepted, 7th Mar., 1896
WILLIAM ELLIOTT 75 Philip Lane Tottenham N. Electrician. I do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This battery has been designed to meet the want of a dry battery which may be
easily and cheaply recharged and in which the zinc plate may be renewed when
Decessary. This result is obtained by enclosing the zinc plate in an outer case of
wood or ebonite, thus securing perfect insulation between each cell when connected
together and by using fine cocoa nut fibre for carrying the charging medium and
which also separates the zinc plate from the carbon and manganese in the centre of
the battery in place of the plaster of Paris generally used; as this substance does
not dry into a solid mass, the zinc plate may be easily withdrawn and a new one
substituted and may be recharged by the addition of a saturated solution of sal
ammoniac, the fibre being squeezed as dry as possible and the battery resealed; or
the battery may be entirely repacked at a trifling cost.
Dated this 30th day of May 1895.

WILLIAM ELLIOTT 75 Philip Lane Tottenham, N. Electrician, 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 essentially in using cocoanut fibre as a means of carrying
the charging medium for packing dry galvanic batteries. A case of wood, ebonite,
or other insulating material, rendered completely airtight and waterproof is lined
with a zinc plate, to which is affixed a terminal, a packing composed of cocoanut
fibre, soaked in a saturated solution of sal-ammoniac and squeezed as dry as possible
is then packed tightly in the zinc lined cell; a space being left in the centre of
suitable size to admit a carbon plate, which is packed on either side with a mixture
of powdered carbon and manganese: the cell is then sealed over with pitch,
asphaltum; or other suitable substance and a terminal clamped to the carbon plate
which projects above the top of the cell.
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 use of cocoanut fibre as a means of carrying the charging medium for
packing dry galvanic batteries substantially as herein described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Paste Carrying Plates for Electric Accumulators.
I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM SCHNEIDER, Engineer, of Triberg im Schwarzwald,
in the Grand Duchy of Baden, 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:-
The present invention consists in improved paste carrier plates for accumulator
batteries and especially for those used for the driving of vehicles or like purpose
which with proportionally little weight can be charged with a greater intensity of
current of 2 to 3 amperes or more per square centimeter and which is insensible to
effects of sudden current variation as the starting of a boat or carriage which is
driven with accumulator batteries.
These results are caused by the particular construction of the paste carrying
plates as shown in three forms in the annexed drawings which give an extremely
favourable distribution of the paste for the conduction of the current.
The plate is composed of a frame a in the form of a grate, the bars 6 of which
are united by undulating bands c (Figs. 1-3), bands of zigzag form (Figs. 4-6)
or by straight bands (Figs. 7-9). Into the hollows formed by the bars b and the
bands c the paste is put, the projections of the bars 6 prevent the falling out of
the paste. To provide for the introduction of the counter form or mould necessary
to form the projections when casting the plate the bands e are provided with
corresponding openings.
To hold the paste on the exterior faces of the undulating bands or those of
zigzag form (in the forms represented in Figs. 1-6) and to prevent the scaling
off of the paste at these places, the bands c are provided with projections d.
The accumulator batteries made up with the paste holding plates above described
can be charged and discharged in shorter time and for this reason and the
reduction of the total weight is below that of previously used secondary elements,
they are specially suitable for driving vehicles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. A paste carrying plate for electric accumulators composed by a frame a in the
form of a grate the bars 6 of which are united by undulating or zigzag or straight
bands c and provided with projections to hold in the paste which is introduced into
the recesses formed by the bands c and bars b.
2. A paste carrying plate for electric accumulators as described in Claim 1 the
bands of which are provided with openings e for introduction of the counter form
necessary to form the projections.
3. A paste carrying plate for electric accumulators as described in Claim 1 the
bauds c of which are provided with projections d.

hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
The object of this invention is to provide a sash fastener [which is burgular
proof.
By reference to the sketches attached it will be seen the object is attained by
means of a notch A Fig. 1 in the outside edge of the striking plate D Fig. 1. into
which the handle of the catch B Fig. 1 falls when any instrument is inserted
between the sashes E Fig. 1 thereby preventing the handle being pushed back, for it
will be clearly seen that the greater the force used between the sashes the deeper
the handle B will fall into notch A.
To prevent the haudle falling into the said notch A Fig. 1. and to keep the
sashes firm in ordinary use a spring C Fig. 1 is inserted on the face of the striking
plate D Fig. 1, which keeps the handle free from notch A Fig. 1 until force is
used between the sashes E Fig. 1 and thus also holds the sashes perfectly firm
preventing vibration.
Fig. 3 gives a perspective view of the said fastener when in use.

Improved Electrical Out-out.
'
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co. Limited, of 12 Queen Anne's Gate,
Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, Electrical Engineers, 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 cut-out, more particularly for high tension currents,
the construction of which is based on the known fact that the interruption spark of
a high tension circuit is extinguished much more readily in a liquid dielectric than
in a gaseous one.
The invention consists essentially in imbedding the fusible strip or wire with the
exception of the part to be fused by an excessive current, in a solid dielectric
which is easily melted, but which remains solid at ordinary atmospheric
temperatures.
By means of the heat generated by the burning or melting of the fusible strip
or wire the surrounding dielectric is couverted into a liquid, which at once
surrounds the ends of the burnt or melted strip, and thus extinguishes the arc
formed between them.
The accompanying drawing shews by way of example a longitudinal section of
one form of safety cut-out constructed according to this invention.
A lead strip B is enclosed in a tube R of porcelain or other suitable material
which is closed at the ends by plugs P through which the strip B-passes.
In the middle of the tube is an opening R and at this point the lead strip is bent
twice to a right angle, so that its fusing portion B₁ is situated at the level of the
opening in the tube. The latter is filled with an easily fusible dielectric D such
as wax, paraffin, &c. so that the lead strip with the exception of the raised portion
to be fused is imbedded therein, as shewn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the saine is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A safety cut-out for electric circuits consisting of a fusible metal strip or wire
which, with the exception of the part to be fused by excessive current, is imbedded
in a solid dielectric that is easily melted by the heat produced from such current,
so as at once to extinguish the electric arc formed between the ends of the fused
strip.or wire.
