JAMES HAWLEY Derby Works Carruthers Street Vauxhall Road Liverpool in
the County of Lancashire 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 :-
Before describing the drawing which accompanies this Specification I wish it to
be distinctly understood that I do not confine myself to the exact details shewn.
Referring to the drawing.
Fig. 1 shews an end view of the machine.
Fig. 2 shews a front elevation.
Fig. 3 shews a detail of the rack and pinion.
Fig. 4 shews a detail of the carriage, with elevating and lowering apparatus.
Fig. 5 is a plan of, Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shew different forms of stamping plates with movable type.
On the carriage, a, running on rollers b, I provide a rack c, which is raised or
lowered by means of the pinion, d, the shaft of which terminates at each end in a
hand wheel, d', specially weighted at one side to partly counter balance the weight
of stamping plate, e, the bottom end of rack, c', is made spherical, on which is a
large nut, e, which attaches the rack bar to the stamping plate, e, in what is
commonly called a ball joint, the upper end of rack, c, which if made circular as
shewn, is provided with a key,, to keep the rack from turning.
A small wheel, d², is so fixed that its face touches the back of the rack, keeping
the teeth in play with the pinion, d.
I also provide a small coil spring, e, with a tightening nut, e. The frame, g,
is connected at the top by two channel irons, h, h on which run the carriage, a.
On the stamping table, i, I arrange an inking pad, j, and a stamping pad, k.
The transversing movement of the carriage, a, I effect as follows, on the pulleys, l,
I arrange an endless rope or chain, l, which is wound once round the drum, m,
which is provided with a handle, n, the rope or chain is connected to the carriage
at, o, or any convenient place.
It will now be seen that by turning the handle of drum half round the carriage
can be brought over the inking pad or stamping pad as desired, when by turning
the wheel, d, the stamping plate can be raised or lowered at will.
I prefer to make the stamping plate of the shape as shewn on Fig. 6 or Fig. 7,
the type instead of being cast on the plate, can be made to slip in grooves and
therefore movable.
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
1st. The arrangement of rack and pinion for raising and lowering the stamping
plate as herein shewn and described.
2nd. The arrangement of pulleys and drum to effect the transversing movement
of carriage, as herein shewn and described.
3rd. The general arrangement of machine as herein shewn and described.

I ALFRED TOм MORSE, of Ward Road, High Street, Stratford, London E.
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 the manufacture of an improved distemper for walls
ceilings and other interior house decorative and other work, and the invention has
for its object to produce a non-poisonous, self-binding distemper color superior in
purity of tone to ordinary distempers, which is complete in itself and ready for use
by merely mixing with hot or cold water without the addition of size or other
ingredient, and the use of which will render the interior of houses and other buildings
clean and healthy.
The distemper is composed of the following ingredients in about the proportions
which are those found best in practice but to which I do not limit myself, as it
will be obvious that they may be varied slightly without materially varying the
nature and qualities of the compound.
Gilder's whiting
Gelatine
Zinc oxide

Of the above ingredients, the first six impart body or covering qualities and the
first four are obligatory; the spar gives weight and hardness, and the next two
are for antiseptic or preservative purposes.
The whole of the above mentioned ingredients are to be separately crushed, or
O disintegrated then ground and mixed together with colors, such as are commonly
used in distempers, to produce the various shades required.
This improved distemper is put up in the form of a dry powder and only requires
mixing with hot or cold water to be ready for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
5 tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
The herein-described distemper composed substantially of the combination of
ingredients herein specified.

St. Petersgate Mills Stockport Cheshire Manufacturing Chemists do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A new & improved method of preparing the medicinal compound commonly
known as $6
chlorodyne" whereby it is formed into a solution which does not
separate into different parts.
By this means we avoid the danger which exists in the administration of it
without previous agitation. We thus provide for greater safety in the use of this
medicine & in order to fix the distinction between the two preparations we spell it
thus klorodine."
Our invention consists in producing a solution instead of a mechanical mixture
of the various ingredients as hitherto.
That is to say we dissolve the chloroform, morphine, ether and essential oil in
ethyl alcohol and our improvement consists in the dilution of these strong medica-
ments with glycerine in which the alcoholic solution is soluble & so we form a
perfectly homogeneous liquid.

Improved Means for Locking Nuts on Bolts.
I JULIUS EVINOF, of the Australia Hotel, Castlereagh Street, Sydney, in the
Colony of New South Wales, Doctor of Medicine, do hereby declare the nature of
this intention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has been devised for the purpose of providing some simple efficient.
cheap and easily applied means for locking nuts on bolts. It consists essentially in
the employment of a screw threaded taper plug or pin screwed into an axial hole
drilled in the end of the bolt which said end is split longitudinally so that it
will be forced apart by the entrance of the said plug and thus be jambed against the
inside of the nut whilst its extreme end will be forced apart to a larger diameter
than the interior of the nut which will thereby be effectually prevented from coming
off or shaking loose as will be well understood on reference to the accompanying
drawing wherein
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a screw threaded bolt with a nut locked thereon
according to my invention whilst
Figure 2 is a horizontal section on line 2-2 Figure 1.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in both figures.
A represents the taper screw threaded plug or pin which as above stated is
screwed into a correspondingly threaded hole B drilled in the end of the bolt axially
for a short distance so as to force apart the two split halves of the bolt thereby
increasing the diameter of said bolt and causing it to jamb against the inside of the
nut and also spreading the end of the bolt beyond the nut and thus locking the
latter upon the former.
The taper screw threaded plug or pin A is formed with its upper end square or
otherwise sided as shown at a to enable it to be readily turned round by means of a
spanner when it is required to lock or unlock the nut."
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 described means for locking nuts on bolts consisting of a taper screw
threaded plug or pin screwed into a correspondingly threaded axial hole in a
split bolt the whole being constructed and arranged substantially as and for the
purposes herein described and explained and as illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
