Means in Connection with Cycles for Generating Electricity.
I, PAUL WAGNER, of Schiltigheimer Ring No. 2, Strassburg, Alsace, Empire
of Germany, Telegraphist, 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 present invention consists of a device in connection with cycles for producing
current for an electric lamp for the same, or for producing electric power which
may also be utilised as motive power.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing, in which similar letters of reference denote
similar parts throughout the several views:
-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a bicycle provided with my improved device,
Fig. 2 is a detail cross section through the rim of the wheel,
Fig. 3 a similar cross section showing a modified form of the invention,
Fig. 4 a part plan of Figure 3.
In carrying the invention into practice I form a laterally extending rim having
grooves e, c on the metal rim b, which holds the tyre a of the front or rear wheel, and
I mount a dynamo A of any suitable construction in proximity to said rim, the
armature g of said dynamo A having a suitable driving roll, which may be driven
by a cord or belt not shown extending around the lateral rim c (Fig. 2) of the
wheel and over the said driving pulley. The dynamo is connected in known
manner to an accumulator B and the latter to a lamp C mounted in any suitable
position on the machine.
Instead of driving the dynamo by means of the lateral rim as described, the
same may be driven by means of a pulley & mounted on one of the fork arms as
shown at Figure 1 and 3 to engage in frictional contact with the interior of the
rim of an ordinary rim, said pulley having fast on its shaft a pulley f which may
be coupled by means of a cord to the driving pulley of the armature of the dynamo.
The current may be conducted direct to the lamp or to the accumulator and
thence to the lamp.
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. In a bicycle the combination of a dynamo mounted in proximity to one
of the wheels, an accumulator mounted on the bicycle frame, a lamp suitably
mounted thereon and means for driving the armature of the dynamo from the
bicycle wheel, substantially as described.
2.In a bicycle, the combination of a dynamo mounted in proximity to one
of the wheels, a pulley mounted in the frame to engage the interior rim of one

page_text: of the wheels, a cord pulley to rotate with said rim pulley, an accumulator and
a lamp and means for connecting up the same, substantially as described.

An Improved Artificial Fuel, and Process for Producing the same.
I, JOSEF KOHLNDORFER, of Landshut, Bavaria, 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 :-
This process is intended for working up petroleum (residuums) so that it may
have the form of a solid, handy product and can therefore be used as a satisfactory
and cheap fuel in different ways offering many advantages.
A soda lye of about 10% and about 10% of any fatty substance, for instance
tallow, palm oil etc., are warmed in a boiler either under air closure or with super-
heated steam. To the warmed mass is added so much petroleum, that the total
mass amounts to about 100 parts. The whole is continually stirred and heated for
some time (about 1 hour according to the fire and heating apparatus); however the
temperature must always be kept under the boiling point of the petroleum in order
to avoid scum. In this state of nascent saponification the mass develops the
property of taking up large quantities of easily volatile oil. When the combination
proceeds too slowly or incompletely, the process is accelerated by adding a little*
soda lye. After a short time the saponification of fat and the fixing of the petroleum
has taken place and one can pour the mass thus produced into receivers where it is
allowed to cool. It has then about the consistence of solid tallow and can easily be
cut into squares or brought into any other form.
•
According to its intended purpose as fuel one can also add coal dust, saw dust,
rubbish, or the like. To produce a less consistent product, one can replace the fat
wholly or partly by resin or resin acid. In the first as well as in the latter case
there is obtained a product which contains more than 80% of petroleum, more than
90% of combustible substance and less than 5% of solid residuum.
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 :-
1. A process for producing petroleum in a consistent form as fuel by heating soda
lye and a fatty substance or resin with petroleum.
2. In the product made according to Claim 1 the addition of coal dust, saw dust,
or the like.

"Improvements relating to Iron and Steel Tubes."
I, ALFRED CECIL WRIGHT, trading as James Warne, of 56 and 57 Watery Lane,
in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to the manner in which I treat open jointed, brazed,
welded, or other iron and steel tubes, for the purpose of preventing rusting and
for giving them an appearance equal to brass or other metal cased tubes.
In the application of my invention I immerse the tube in a bath of tin, and
subsequently draw it through a die and thus subject it to a pressure around its
entire external circumference and throughout its length, which has the effect of
consolidating the tin coating with the tube and giving a thoroughly smooth and
regular surface. I then lacquer to the desired colour, the surface of the tube
after the tinning and drawing processes being in an excellent condition to properly
receive such lacquer in order to give an effective appearance.
I sometimes dispense with the lacquering process and subject the tubes only
to the tinning and subsequent drawing or consolidating process.

ARNOLD JAMES BEAL, Red Hill Works, Cutlery Manufacturer, Sheffield, in the
County of York, 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:-
To make my improvement, I make the blades of table kuives, butchers knives
and forks or all kinds of tanged cutlery, with a short square or round shank,
square by preference, as in Fig. A at section dotted line. I then cast, forge or
stamp a cramp as Fig. B or Fig. C, the said cramp having a square hole in the
centre of the top of the cramp, as shewn by dotted line of Fig. C, the said cramp
being placed on to the shank of Fig. A at the section dotted line, and then the said
short shank, is rivetted down and firm to the inside of the cramp Fig. B, therefore
Fig. A. Fig. B and Fig. C are all three attached as shewn in Fig. E, the rivet
head being the dotted line of Fig. E, thus it will appear that the two outer sides
forms a double bolster, in which ivory or other suitable kinds of handles are
prepared as Fig. D, being set down on either side as section A, shewn in Fig. 1),
the same being set down to the strength or thickness of the sides of the cramp
Fig. B, so as to bring the handles and the bolsters to the same level, the dotted
line section B, being a notch cut out of the handle to admit the rivet head of Fig. A
as shewn edgeways by dotted line of Fig. E. The means I employ to secure the
handles and cramp together, are by pinning, screwing or rivetting the same together
through both sides of the cramp, and through the handles at the section shewn by
two holes in Fig. D, by this means of pinning, screwing or rivetting the cramp
Fig. B, to a square tang or shank as Fig. A at section dotted line the said cramp is
thus prevented from turning round whilst in use, also the handles being twice
pinned, or screwed prevents the said handle from turning or moving, and thus I
obtain a solid handled knife or the like with double bolster as shewn in complete
article Fig. F.
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: —
Attaching solid handles to table cutlery, butchers knives and the like, by the
means of a square short shank and a double bolster, in the form of a cramp.

I, JOHANN HERMANN SCHIENBEIN of 21 II Silbersackstrasse, Hamburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Miller 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 has for its object a fastening for cravats, ties and the like and
which consists in arranging a fixed pin on the cravat or the like, which pin is
adapted to be inserted into a stud passed through the shirt and collar.
This improved arrangement is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a vertical section;
Figure 2, a cross section on x-x of Figure 1; and
Figure 3, a perspective elevation of the same in combination with a cravat.
A pin a standing out vertically is arranged on the cravat f at the place where
it rests on the button hole which pin is fastened in any suitable manner, for instance
by means of a plate g. A groove b is formed on the outer end of the pin. The
other part of the fastener consists of a stud which however consists only of a bottom
plate e and a sheath or socket shank d. As this stud has no head or front plate
however it can easily be passed through all the button holes. The fastening takes
place by the shank d which takes the place of a collar stud being passed through
the button holes of the shirt and collar from the inside to the outside after which the
pin a of the cravat is inserted in the shank d of the stud. In the interior of the
sheath or shank d there is arranged a suitable spring device which on the insertion
of the pin a snaps into a notch bon the latter and thereby firmly secures the pin
to the stud. The unfastening of the fastener is effected by simply drawing back
the pin by means of the cravat f, whereupon the spring device e automatically slips
out of the groove b.
The advantage of this improved arrangement consists mainly in the simplicity
of its handling, as thereby the frequently troublesome fastening of cravats by
means of bands and the like is dispensed with.
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
A fastener for cravats, ties and the like, consisting of a pin (a) adapted to be
attached to the cravat or the like and a hollow stud or sheath (d) adapted to be
passed from the inside to the outside through the front neck button holes of the shirt
and of the collar to engage over said pin (a), the sheath (d) having a suitable snap

An Improvement in the Smelting of Copper and Apparatus for that
Purpose.
I, GEORGE DEER, of Tycanol House, Cwm-Avon, in the County of Glamorgan,
Manager of Copper Works, 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:-
It has been proposed to blow air, steam or both, into molten copper precipitate,
matt or other material carrying copper, in order to oxidise the sulphur and other
impurities, but, owing to the cooling of the metal thus caused, it has not been
possible to make the process successful. This invention relates to means of
carrying on this process successfully, which I effect by treating the material in a
furnace provided with apparatus as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section and Figure 2 is a plan of furnace and gas
producer provided with apparatus according to my invention.
The furnace chamber A, regenerative chambers B and gas producer C, with
their gas and air passages D, E, F, and valves V are constructed and arranged
substantially as described in the specification of F. Siemens' patents Nos. 4644 of
1889 and 20,083 of 1889, but the crown or roof of the furnace is provided with a
large chimney M of suitable height furnished with a damper or valve N.
While the material is being melted and raised to a high temperature in the
furnace the valve N is closed. Steam is then blown into the molten material the
valve N being opened, and thereupon,, the high temperature being carefully
maintained so as to overcome the cooling effect of the steam, a large volume of
sulphurous acid and other gases is evolved and passes freely away by the chimney
M.
Owing to the great heating power of a regenerative gas furnace of the kind
described, the blowing of steam into the molten material can be carried out, without
the mass becoming too cold, and the roof-chimney provides for the free escape of
the evolved gases.
:-
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The herein described method of purifying molten material carrying copper
by highly heating the molten material and maintaining its proper temperature
while steam is being blown into it.
2. For purifying molten material carrying copper by the injection of steam,
a regenerative gas furnace having its roof provided with a valved chimney,
substantially as described.

1, SALOMON FRANK, of 21, Friedberger Landstrasse, Frankfort-on-Main, in
the Empire of Germany, Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:
The object of this invention is to produce very economically and with great
facility bevel toothed wheels, the teeth of which are rounded and tapering
conically in longitudinal direction.
In manufacturing the said wheels I provide a matrix, corresponding in shape
to the wheel to be produced and made of steel or any other suitable material and
a highly heated piece of iron or steel or other suitable metal preferably shaped
roughly to form before being heated, is then pressed into the said matrix. The
said matrix can be used for producing a large number of wheels before it becomes
worn.
In this manner the said wheels can be easily and rapidly produced on a large.
scale and at small cost.

I, ALEXANDER CHARLES MOFFATT of 39 Victoria Street Westminster
London S.W. 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:-
This invention relates to feed water heaters such as are described in the Specifi-
cations of former Patents granted to me No. 4202 in the year 1875 and No. 9880 in
the year 1889. This heater consists of a cylinder or barrel with inlet and outlet
passages for the water. The cylinder has end covers bolted on, and in the covers
are chambers for steam. The steam chambers are connected together by tubes
passing through the cylinder or barrel. The joints are made with india rubber or
other suitable rings confined by flanges on the tubes in sockets or recesses in the inner
walls of the steam chambers, into which the tubes are set.
There has heretofore been difficulty in making these joints tight because the
rings are liable to be twisted and displaced in the operations of putting the parts
together. By my present invention I overcome this difficulty by forming in the
surfaces between which the rings are compressed recesses, into which the rings are
placed before putting the parts together. The tubes are made with flanges on the
extreme ends, which press on the rings and so make the joints. The recesses in
the inner walls of the steam chambers are furnished on the inside with annular
projections or walls which prevent the rings from being squeezed into the central
hole.
In putting the parts together when the tubes are dropped down into the sockets
or recesses prepared to receive them, the end of the tube comes down on the ring
which is already in the socket.
In the same way when the upper chamber of the heater is dropped into its place
over the upper ends of the tubes the rings can not be displaced as they are already
in the sockets.
In order that my said invention may be more readily understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed to describe the accompanying drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure one is a section of one of the tube plates of the steam chambers, having a
tube and a ring in position upon it.
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

page_text: JOHN PETTY, No. 6, Dartmouth Street, Birmingham, Corkscrew Forger, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Consisting of a sheet of cardboard with the names of different football clubs and
some numbers printed thereon, together with a wire article so formed as to be able
to hold the names and numbers tightly when placed in. The idea of the thing is
this; that the buyer cuts off the cardboard; the names of the two clubs that have
been playing on the same day, also the numbers representing the score, fixes them
in the wire and then places it in his coat or on his hat or wherever he chooses.
The names and numbers can be changed according to the clubs that are playing
and the result of the score.
I, JOHN PETTY, 6, Dartmouth Street, Birmingham, Corkscrew Forger, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Consisting of a sheet of cardboard with the names of different football clubs and
some numbers printed thereon, together with a wire article so formed as to be able
to hold the names and numbers tightly when placed in. The idea of the thing is
this; that the buyer cuts off the cardboard the names of the two clubs that have
been playing on the same day, also the numbers representing the score, fixes them
in the wire and then places it in his coat or on his hat or wherever he chooses.
The names and numbers can be changed according to the clubs that are playing
and the result of the score.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will now refer to the
annexed drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a perspective view shewing my indicator. The indicator is formed
of suitable material such as wire, and is bent to the shape shewn. The card 6 may
be inserted and bear the name of a club. The cards bearing the names and scores
may be formed in any suitable manner and may be separate, as required for use.
The device may then be placed in the hat of the wearer, or other suitable part of

page_text: his attire such as a button hole of the coat, the prolongation c being for this
purpose.
Although I have described this device for football, it will be readily seen that
it may be used for every game of such a character.
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. An indicator consisting of a device or holder formed of bent wire or other
suitable material adapted to carry cards for giving indications of the names of
clubs and scores in football and suchlike games.

An Improved Shirt and Jersey.
Year: 1897

page_text: An Improved Shirt and Jersey.
We, DUNCAN MACKELLAR, of 257, West George Street, Glasgow, Artist, and
JAMES STRATTON WILSON, of 218, Watt Street, Glasgow, Photographer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Our invention relates to an improved shirt which possesses many advantages
over the shirts at present in general use.
And in order that our said invention may be properly understood we have here-
unto appended three explanatory sheets of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows the shirt in front view
Fig. 2 shows the shirt in back view.
Fig. 3 shows the shirt open.
As will be seen the shirt is made much longer than at present and has knicker
parts b, c, made in one with the body a. The shirt is open from the neck to the
bottom in front, as shown by the line d, and it is open at the back along the line e.
The knicker parts are open at the inside of the legs along the lines f, g.
When putting on this shirt the head is not thrust through a hole at the top
as at present or the legs inserted into the knickers but the shirt is put on in the
same manner as a coat and is buttoned or otherwise secured at the places h. This
mode of putting on the garment will be readily understood from Fig. 3 which
shows the shirt open ready to be put on the wearer. When the shirt is put on it
appears as at Figs. 1 and 2.
Owing to the fact that the shirt is put on like a coat there is not much risk of
crushing the front in the case of a dress shirt.
The new shirt can be easily starched and ironed; it fits close to the figure, is
easily dressed to the body, and does not show folds through the trousers.
The wrist bands of the improved shirt instead of being formed with a slit or
opening at the underside of the arm as usual can be made with a slit or opening at
the upperside, as shown at i, and be so made as to fit, when buttoned, comparatively
close to the wrist in order to prevent the exposure of the underclothing or the
flesh.
Flannel shirts and jerseys can be made in the same manner.
The dotted lines indicate the seams.
The improved shirt instead of being made all in one can be made in two parts
sewn together at or about the dotted lines l. An ordinary shirt can be converted
into the new style of shirt by cutting it off just below the front and sewing on the
knicker part at or about the lines l.

page_text: 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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A shirt or jersey made substantially as hereinbefore described with reference
to the drawings annexed.

declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
A hot water cylinder made of iron, copper, or any other metal. The outside shell
is made with a diagonal seam, double revitted and stamped raised ends, fluted from
centre and rivitted to out side shell. The object of making the cylinder with a
diagonal seam, double rivitted and stamped raised ends fluted from centre and
rivetted to outside shell, is that this mode of making the cylinder, strengthens
the body, keeps the seam from bulging inward or outward, and the ends being
fluted from the centre, and double rivitted to shell, the cylinder is considerably
strengthened.
Iron, copper, or any other metal from 16 gauge upwards may be used in the
manufacture.
