COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
Improvements in and connected with Governors.
I, OTTO STEINLE, of Quedlinburg, in the Province of 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:
-
Hitherto steam-governors have offered the serious drawback, that when the
number of the shaft revolutions was altered suddenly, the fly weights also moved
suddenly whereby the governor was worn out rapidly. I obviate this drawback
by transmitting the alterations of the revolutions of the governor-spindle to the
fly weights, thereby attaining that the initial centrifugal forces are employed for
altering the position of the collar of the governor.
In order to render my invention more clear I beg to refer to the accompanying
drawing, in which similar letters denote similar parts and in which:-
Figure 1 is a detailed view of the double lever for effecting the transmission of
the revolutions to the centrifugal weights.
Figure 2 illustrates a vertical section through the governor.
Figure 3 is a top view of the same.
The double lever a is rigidly connected to the governor-spindle and by means of
links to the fly-weights g. These weights g are mounted upon rods f and are
adapted to slide upon the same. The guide rods are screwed into the collar b
rotating loosely around the governor-spindle. The fly weights are controlled by
helical springs.
The governor-weights by means of bell cranks h are connected to a sliding
collar, which in any suitable manner is connected to the steam valve of the
engine. When the speed of revolution of the spindle lessens suddenly the collar b
and consequently the fly-weights g will keep up the original rapidity of motion, but
the double lever a owing to its rigid connection with the spindle causes the centri-
fugal weights g to approach towards each other, whereby the number of revolutions
is lessened.
The alteration of position of the fly weights is transmitted to the sliding collar i
by means of connecting-rods h, from which it is transmitted to the steam-valve of
the engine in any suitable manner.
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:-
In an improved steam-governor, the combination with a double lever (a) rigidly
connected to the governor-spindle, spring controlled fly-weights (9) sliding upon
rods links () connecting the fly weights to the double lever (a), a collar (b) loosely
mounted upon the spindle, rods (f) fixed to the collar b and carrying the fly weights
connecting-rods (h) transmitting the movements of the fly-weights to a sliding
collar (7) for the purpose and substantially as set forth.

Improvement in Pendulum Rod Attachments.
GUSTAVE EMILE CORNIOLEY, of 20 & 27, Bartlett's Buildings, Holborn Circus,
London, E.C., Watchmakers Material and Tool 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:--
On annexed drawing Fig. I gives a side view of the invention Fig. II view
from above, Fig. III view from below, Fig. IV shows the same arrangement
with an oval bore.
A clock pendulum hook of ordinary shape (A is provided with a bore (B)
through its body of suitable size to receive the rod of the pendulum.
. A stop
screw (C) is arranged in such a position in the body of the hook that it can be
screwed against the rod and thereby lock the same.
When the hook is to be mounted upon a pendulum, the rod is pushed through
the bore of the hook as far as suitable and then locked in that position by turning
the stop screw.
The advantage of this arrangement lies in the rapidity of the operation in
comparison with the old style of having to cut a thread on the pendulum wire
and to screw the same into the hook, and also in the facility of instantaneous
alterations and taking to pieces should this be required at any 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 arrangement of the pendulum hook being mounted upon the pendulum

page_text: by the combination of a bore in the body of the hook which bore receives the
pendulum rod and of a stop screw passing through the body of the hook and
locking the rod in the desired position.

Improvements in Automatic Electric Alarms.
I, WILHELM RAUSCHI, of 8, Mülheimstrasse, Ratingen, in the Empire of
Germany, Telegraphist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to an electric alarm, which by means of an alarm
clock can be switched into or out of circuit with an electric battery.
In the drawing
Fig. 1. Diagram of complete arrangement of battery, clockwork, alarm and
switch.
Fig. 2. Plan of the contact-maker of the clock.
Fig. 3. Front view of the clock with contact maker.
Fig. 4. Side view of the clock with contact-maker.
Fig. 5. Electrical alarm with switch lever.
The manner in which the alarm acts is as follows-To an alarm clock d
(Fig. 2-4) there is a contact maker attached, consisting of a double bent lever c,
held by a spring but moveable, on the top side of the clock work, and actuated by
a disef with round shaped teeth corresponding to the times at which the alarm
is to sound, and fixed to the wheel of the alarm clock. By this action a two-armed
contact lever g, with a balance weight, pivoted on the axle x, is put in motion,
and thus completes the contact through the angle-shaped piece h.
The closing of the circuit by this contact depends upon whether the bent lever
rests with one of its arms between or upon the teeth of the alarm disc f.
The contact maker here described closes or opens the electric circuit bb pro-
duced by the battery a, whereby each of the alarms W, W, W is set in motion
at the time for which the clock work has been set. In order to put the battery
out of action when not required a switch c is inserted.
Each of the electrical alarms has moreover a switch by which one or another
of the alarms can be switched off (Fig. 5). In this way any desired number
of alarms can be inserted in the circuit by a suitable lengthening of the wires;
the number of cells in the battery must however be increased in proportion
to the number of alarms. The alarm or waking-up apparatus here described is
especially suitable for hotels, schools, manufactories, etcetera, and may be inserted
in circuits of already existing weak currents. The time of sounding the alarm can,
by properly arranging the teeth of the alarm wheel f. be made to occur at various
intervals, either hourly, or every half or quarter of an hour.
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: -
Automatic electrical alarm, characterized by having a contact maker actuated
by an alarm clock, which sets in action at predetermined intervals of time, alarms

page_text: inserted in an electric circuit, whereby persons may be awaked at greater or less
distances apart whilst each single alarm is independent of the others and can be
switched out of use.

Improved Apparatus for Indicating the Pitch of Screw Propellers.
I, FREDERICK FRIEDENTHAL, of Greenbank House, Preston, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention consists of an apparatus whereby a workman can readily ascer-
tain the pitches of screw propellers whether solid or with portable blades, whether
the said propeller is placed horizontal, vertical or at any angle, without the aid of
spirit level, square, or plumb-bob or similar appliances.
To gain this object I provide a bevel A A₁ of any convenient length with a
hinge B Fig. 1.
At a certain distance from the centre of the hinge B I secure to this bevel a
quadrant C marked or graduated in plain figures in such a way that the pitch
of a propeller can be ascertained at any distance or at any diameter without
calculations or measuring.
To be able to measure pitch with minute accuracy, particularly where the
pitches vary from fore to aft, I provide bevel A A, with three or more movable
points D, D, D, Fig. 1, so arranged that the said points can be adjusted to
touch the circumference of any circle at which it is desirable to measure the
pitch, and by these means the pitches can be taken at short intervals and the
correct or mean pitch at any section ascertained.
To facilitate the adjustment of points D, D, D₂ I provide the leg A with an
index to correspond with different circles at which it is desirable to measure
pitches.
To use this instrument I proceed as follows:
I draw circular lines on the face of the blade equal distance from centre of boss,
at intervals marked in the quadrant C then adjust the points D, D₁, D₂ by the
index to correspond with the diameter I wish to measure the pitch at, then place
leg A on which the quadrant C and points D D, D₂ are fixed on this line Fig. 4
and open the other leg A, until the outside edge is parallel with the end of boss,
or at right angles with the centre of shaft see Fig. 3.
The pitch for each section will be registered in the quadrant C inside the
leg A₁.
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
First. A hinged bevel with legs A A₁, with hinge B and three or more movable
points D, D, D, and the index plate.
Second. A quadrant or index plate C marked for any desirable number of
diameters and pitches.
Third. The combination of the various parts above mentioned for the purpose

Improvements in Lamp Wick-holders.
We, WILLIAM ERNEST CAPNER PINCHBECK, of 71, Queen Street, London, E.C.,
Hardware Merchant, and EDMUND JOHN SCANLAN, of 89, Bracebridge Street,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Lamp & Burner 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 object of our invention is to provide a holder for lamp wicks which will
prevent the wick from being involuntarily twisted or made irregular & will
also hold it securely while at the same time practically the whole surface of the
wick is left uncompressed. By our invention the full capacity of the wick is
utilised, & it is applicable to any shape of wick whether flat or round.
In carrying out our invention, we take a metal tube of a section suitable for
holding the wick loosely, along the length of this tube slots are cut, & the metal
forming the sides of these slots is turned slightly inwards so that when the wick
is in the tube, these edges press into the wick along their lengths. By this
means the wick is held sufficiently firm in the tube & cannot easily be moved
across the edges, although it can be moved with comparative case along these
.edges.
The accompanying drawings illustrate our invention applied to a circular
wick.
Figures 1 & 2 show in section the circular tube for holding the wick.
Figure 3 is an elevation of Figure 1.
Figure 4 shows in section & Figure 5 shows in elevation the tube in Fig. 1
fitted with a rack & pinion for adjustment of the wick.
A is the tube into which the wick is fitted: B are the slots cut along the
length Care the turned in edges of the slots. Figure 1 shows one edge of
each slot turned inwards & Figure shows both edges turned inwards. These
edges may be turned at different angles & it is not necessary that all the slots
should be turned in at their edges.
In Figures 4 & 5 D is the metal frame in which the tube or wick-holder A
is moved up or down by the ordinary rack & pinion which is actuated by E. This
wick-holder with its circular wick fits over an inner tube against which the wick
is pressed. By our invention the wick is firmly held but without undue com-
pression.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. A lamp wick-holder in which the wick is held in a loose tube by means

stripes of paper or paper-mâché are furnished with a ring on each end.
can one or several stripes be fastened on a piece of channeled wood. Such an
improved razorstrop brings the razors quicker than any strop of leather or girth
to a soft and cutting edge and is considerable cheaper then theese.
Having now particulary described and ascertained the natur of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
A patent for a razorstrop for razors and any fine cutting instruments, even

An Improvement in Ear-trumpets Applicable also to Telephone
Receivers and the like.
I, LIEFMANN AARON JACOBSON, of 82, Rödingsmarkt, Hamburg, 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 relates to ear-trumpets for the use of the partially deaf but
also applicable in connection with telephone receivers and the like acoustic
instruments.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings
wherein Figure 1 shews a longitudinal section and Figure 2 a front elevation of
the appliance.
The invention consists of a composite tubular instrument adapted for insertion
into the ear, and comprising two portions whereof the outer portion ais com-
posed of a length of tube of some hard material presenting a flaring mouth
externally and bent to a right angle (more or less) whilst the inner portion e consists
of a length of flexible elastic tubing adapted to fit within the auditory duct of the
ear and attached to the outer portion a by its outer end being expanded over a
bead or flange b formed around the inner extremity of the tube a. The length of
the tube c should be such that when the instrument is inserted into the ear, the
inner extremity of tube c will be in contact with the tympanum. The entire
instrument is of such a size as to be almost completely received within the ear
so as to be scarcely visible, and it is preferably made of a colour to match that of
the ear itself.
My invention presents great advantages over the ear trumpets at present in
use for, whereas the latter only deliver sounds to the outer part of the ear, by
the use of my improved instrument the sound waves are conveyed, through the
flexible elastic tube, along the auditory canal (to which such tube readily accom-
modates itself) and are caused to impinge directly upon the tympanum itself.
The invention is applicable to telephone receivers and the like acoustic instru-
ments, as will be readily understood.
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:
-
An acoustic instrument for the use of partially deaf persons and others, con-
sisting of a bent trumpet shaped tube of hard material and a flexible tube of
elastic material attached thereto, the whole being adapted for insertion within the
ear substantially as specified.

An Improvement in Rivets or Bolts for Special Purposes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Rivets or Bolts for Special Purposes.
I, HENRY JAMES HOUSTON-WILSON, of 117, Bede Burn Road, Jarrow-on-Tyne,
in the County of Durham, Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This improved form of rivet or bolt, which it is proposed to distinguish as
"The Wilson" is intended specially for repairing work in ships, boilers, tanks,
bridge work, or the like, of iron or steel with the objects of effecting more
reliable work in re-rivetting old seams, covering cracked or worn plates, and
in general repairs.
It is generally found that old plates when required to be re-rivetted are more
or less corroded and of unequal thicknesses and that the rivet holes are slightly
enlarged and distorted by cutting out the old rivets, so as to make difficult to
get a fair and level bearing for the underside of the rivet head, and where a
cracked plate is to be repaired the same difficulty is found in rivetting or bolting
on a covering strip or plate.
To avoid this difficulty it is proposed to form the rivet head A with a pro-
jecting rim B on the underside (by providing a corresponding groove in the
die preferably annular as shewn by Figs. 1 and 2 on the drawing herewith,
and this rim will be in section of V or other suitable shape to accommodate itself
to any unevenness in the surface of the plate, so that, if the underside of the head
does not rest quite fair upon the plate, a tight joint will still be made. When
the hot rivet is inserted the application of the "holding-up" tool will partially
adjust the rim B fair upon the surface of the plate, and the contraction of the
rivet in cooling will complete the operation.
Figs. 3 and 4 shew the invention as applied to bolts, which will be adapted
to confined spaces, the bolt head A which may be square or canted, will be formed
with a similar projecting rim B to be used under similar conditions being drawn
fair upon the surface by screwing up the nut C.
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 improvement in rivets or bolts, specially adapted for repairing work, con-
sisting in forming under the head, between the outer circumference and the
shank a projecting rim, preferably annular, with the objects and operation herein-
before set forth, substantially as described and shewn.
