Window and Door Fasteners.
GEORGE DUFFY and CHARLES SAMUEL DUFFY 42, Clipstone Street Marylebone in
the County of Middlesex, Brassworkers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The said Invention is designed for the better protection of Windows, Casements,
and Doors, by being screwed together when closed thus drawing the Sashes together
and preventing them being opened from the outside and also prevents the fastener
being cut or sawed through on account of our Fastener being made with loose pin
of hardened steel, enclosed in the outer screw of brass, so that should the said outer
screw of brass be cut through the said steel pin being loose inside the brass screw
would revolve, and thus prevent it being cut.

page_text: GEORGE DUFFY and CHARLES SAMUEL DUFFY of 42 Clipstone Street Marylebone
in the County of Middlesex Brassworkers, 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 said Invention is designed for the better protection and security of Windows
and Doors, the ordinary Window Fastener being easily opened from the outside by
inserting a flat chisel or knife between the Sashes and pushing back the catch or by
inserting a thin saw and cutting through the fastener, our Invention entirely prevents
this being done, by being screwed together, when closed draws the sashes together
and prevents the windows from rattleing in windy weather and also prevents the
windows from being opened from outside when once fastened together by the screw,
and furthermore prevents them being cut through with either saw or chisel on account
of our Fastener being made with a loose hardened steel pin inside the brass screw,
therefore, if the outer brass screw, should be cut through by anyone outside the
window the loose steel pin inside could not possibly be cut through, simply by
being loose in the outer tube it would keep moving round with a saw or passing
away from a chisel thereby rendering it impossible to be opened or forced from
outside.

Middlesex Machinist 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 the covers of Parasols and Sunshades have not been ornamented by Patterns
or Designs formed in its own Material by the aid of Folding or Pleating combined
either with or without sewing embroidery or by aid of Clip.
By my process I produce patterns or designs by cutting the gores that form the
cover either as long again or as broad again than will fit the Frame of Parasol or
Sunshade according to the pattern required the gores are then folded in whole or in
part into perpendicular or horizontal pleats either lengthways or across the gore
according to the pattern required the depth of perpendicular or horizontal fold or
pleat is varied according to the boldness of the pattern or design.
Where the folds or pleats are required to be made permanent they are creased with
an heated iron.
Where the patterns or designs other than the aforenamed perpendicular or horizontal
fold or pleat are required they are formed by sewing embroidering or by the aid of
clip fastening the pleats or folds together two or more at a time in various spaces so
that when the Parasol or Sunshade is expanded the stitching embroidering or clip
holding the pleats or folds in position form the pattern or design.
Figure 1-of the accompanying drawings shows the gore cut as wide again as
required to fit the frame.
Figure 2-shows the said gore reduced by folding to the size required to fit the
frame.
Figure 3-shows the gore cut as long again as required to fit the frame.
Figure 4-shows the said gore reduced by folding to size required to fit the
frame.

page_text: 1, DAVID IRVIN of Preston in the County of Lancaster, Bobbin and Shuttle
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 improvements consist in making a groove or depression of any convenient
forin, around or partly around the shank or tang of shuttle tips, which groove is
acted upon, when the tip is in its place in the shuttle, by a piu driven into the body
of the shuttle in such a position as to lay hold of the groove, thus securing the tip
firm in its place.
The accompanying drawing represents a side view of a shuttle, one end shewing
the tip and the part of the body of the shuttle containing the tip in section, the other
end shewing the tang of the tip in dotted lines-in the full body of the shuttle a is
the body of the shuttle, the tip, tho shank or tang of the tip, d, a groove or
depression on the tip, and e a pin driven into the body of the shuttle a, in such a
position as to pass over and fit into the groove or depression d on the tip.
The pin e should fit the groove d when the tip is close up against the end of the
body of the shuttle thus holding it fast in its place but the pin may be inserted in
such a position that in driving in it would lay hold rather more against the lower end
of the groove at f, thus acting as a cotter and drawing the tip firmer or closer against
the end of the shuttle. The pin need not pass through the body of the shuttle but
should pass into its hole sufficiently far over the groove on the tip as to keep it in
position.
A second pin may be put in acting on the opposite side of the groove when the
groove is carried round the tip, as shewn in the drawing, and more grooves than
one may be made on the tip, acted upon by additional pins."
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
Fastening loom shuttle tips by a pin driven into the body of the shuttle, acting
upon or laying hold of a groove or depression made on the shank or tang of the tip,
as described and set forth in the drawing.

-
The object of my invention is to simplify the construction of Stockless Anchors and
to render them more efficient, with no liability to roll over as is the case with some
Anchors of this class
According to my invention I make projections on both sides of the arms in a line
with the axis of the pivot, or otherwise, thus making the width much greater without
actually increasing the width across the arms or flukes
In order to make the Anchor stronger and more simple to manufacture, I dispense
with the ordinary mode of pivotting the shank to the head by casting a recess or slot
in the front of the head and forming a jaw, then put the pivot pin through the shank,
place in position and fasten with pins driven through jaws in front of pivot pin to keep
it in position, there being no hole through the head, the pin is self locking ondway

Improvements in Machinery for Pulping Turnips and other Roots.
I ALEXANDER MCGREGOR of Albion Works Leigh 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 ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates more particularly to that class of disc turnip cutters in which
it is arranged that each knife cuts in a different track from the preceding one; and
consists in the manner of arranging and actuating the cleaning bar for preventing the
escape of the last piece.
It has hitherto been usual in machines of this description to work the cleaning bar
in a horizontal position at or near the level of the top of the main frame of the
machine, thereby contracting the size of the feeding hopper to a serious extent as
compared with machines constructed for the same purpose, but without the cleaning
bar.
The object of this invention is to retain the full capacity of the feeding hopper and
at the same time to have the advantage of the cleaning bar.
The nature of my said invention will be readily understood on reference to the
accompanying drawings and from the following explanation thereof.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical transverse section of so much of a disc
turnip or root pulper as is necessary to illustrate my invention and Fig. 2. is a
longitudinal section of part of the same drawn to a larger scale.
A, is the cleaning bar placed in a vertical position or nearly so, and having an eye
or boss at its upper end which fits on, and is actuated by an excentric boss B formed
or cast on the inner face of the disc C; the bottom end of the cleaning bar working
through a guide box D cast to the lower part of the feeding hopper E.
In some cases, in order to keep the eye of the cleaning bar in its proper position
on the excentric boss of the disc I make use of a pipe or tube F (Fig. 2) which fits on

page_text: the shaft G, between the disc and the back bearing H and is provided with a flange F¹
to press against the cleaning bar.
In the drawing, the disc is shown fitted with pointed knives K, but the same arrange-
ment of cleaning bar may be used with "gouge" or other shaped knives; the main
feature of the invention consisting in placing the cleaning bar in the manner
described so as to retain its advantages without contracting the feeding capacity of the
machine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
The improvements in machinery for pulping turnips and other roots consisting in
the arrangement, and actuation, of the cleaning bar substantially as above described
and illustrated by the drawing annexed whereby I am enabled to retain the advantage
of the said cleaning bar without contracting the feeding capacity of the hopper.

Improvements in Soleing and Heeling Boots and Shoes.
I, JUSTIN CAILLET, of 35 and 37, Galerie Vivienne, Paris, in the Republic of
France, 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 an improved method of and means for soleing and heeling
boots and shoes and consists in the combination of india-rubber and leather in the
special manner and for the purposes hereinafter described.
A boot or shoe sole and heel constructed according to my improved method is
represented in the accompanying drawings, whereof Fig. 1 is a plan view and Fig. 2
a longitudinal section. To the welt a is attached a sheet of india-rubber 6 having
thickened parts which respectively project through openings formed in an outer
leather covering c. If preferred, the intermediate lining of india-rubber appertaining
to the sole and heel respectively may be formed and applied as separate pieces.
The presence of the layer or lining of india-rubber prevents the permeation of
moisture to the welt, whilst the leather protects the rubber from wear.
At the same
time, the portions of the india-rubber surfaces which project through the leather
coverings of the sole and heel respectively afford improved foothold to the wearer and
render shoes so constructed specially adapted for yachting, lawn tennis and other
purposes. The india-rubber also conduces by its elasticity to the comfort of the
wearer without interfering with ventilation. The opening through the leather sole or
heel may, if preferred, be edged with metal as a precaution against tearing, or the
edge may be strengthened by stitching.
In order to increase the foothold or grip of a boot or shoe of the kind above
described, there may be incorporated with the india-rubber or with the exposed
surface thereof a small proportion of emery or equivalent material.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :—
1. The improved method of soleing and heeling boots and shoes substantially as
herein described.
2. In soleing or heeling boots or shoes, the employment of an inner lining of india-
rubber and an outer covering of leather, the latter being formed with a central
opening through which a thickened portion of the india-rubber lining projects, sub-
stantially as herein described.
3. In the manufacture of boot and shoe soles and heels, the employment of emery
or equivalent material in conjunction with india-rubber, as and for the purpose set
forth.

preventing the tines from turning round. The downturned ends of the cross bar a
are also formed with a square hole each for receiving the end tines. The amount of
the down-turning depends upon the purpose for which the fork is used. By reason
of the downturning and the end tines being made flatter or less curved than the other
tines and all meeting in the same line at the end as shewn in Figure 3 all the tines
together form a basket like hollow. The socket b which serves for affixing the handle
has a curved set off at the root as shewn at o Figure 3 for the purpose of leaving
the middle of the cross bar free thus permitting a central tine hole and tine to be
applied if desired. The tines c have a shoulder then a square neck fitting in the
square hole in the cross bar a and then a screwed end for a fastening nut g. In this
way the tines may be firmly fixed and easily removed when damaged and new ones
inserted.

page_text: 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 improved construction of fork with curved cross bar a, socket b and tines c
substantially as described and shown.
2. In forks the curved cross bar a in combination with the tines c substantially as
described and shown.

A New or Improved Nail or Device for Fastening Railway Rails
on the Sleepers.
I GUSTAV VICTOR MORAWETZ Glass Manufacturer of 23 Tuchnachergasse Prague
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 new or improved nail or device for fastening railway rails on to the sleepers
direct is shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing in its connection with
the sleeper in side view and in Figure 2 in front view.
Its head a is thickened and is provided at c with a slit conical on the upper
side in which the foot of the rail catches sideways lying on the bottom surface d
of the slit. The shaft or lower part 6 of the nail is drawn out to a point g;
it is made straight on the front side f and wedge-shaped at the back e so that the
nail when driven into the sleeper guiding itself upon the curved surface e thus
backs up towards the foot of the rail in consequence of which the foot of the rail is
driven further into the slit c of the nail and the latter grasps the foot of the rail
more firmly. The head of the nail is considerably widened and forms at an abut-
ment in the wood so that the pressure exercised on the rail is transmitted direct to
the sleeper and to the surface d in the slit e of the nail and thence again to
the surface of the nail and the corresponding surface on the sleeper. The rail is
thus fastened to the sleeper in the best manner and the giving way of the rail nail
through traffic over the rail is almost impossible as the pressure acts against the
rail in the direction of the nail.
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

An Improvement in Setting Screws.
Year: 1888

page_text: An Improvement in Setting Screws.
I, ROBERT MACER, of 23 Wingmnore Road, Loughborough Junction in the County
of Surrey Millwright 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:-
When a setting screw is employed to fix a collar or boss on a revolving shaft or
to fix a drill or other tool in a revolving socket, the projecting head of the screw is a
source of danger particularly when the speed of revolution is considerable.
The object of my invention is to avoid this danger by making the setting, screw in
such a manner that it presents little or no projection beyond. the revolving surface.
For this purpose I make the screw tubular with its internal hollow of square,
polygonal or other than circular section to receive the end of a bent bar of corre
sponding section which being inserted into the hollow can turn the screw round. At
the end of the screw I open out the interior hollow in conical form so that there is a
sharp lip all round which when the scrow is tightened up presses against and partly
bites into the metal of the shaft or tool securing it firmly.
The accompanying drawing shews in transverse section a boss B held on a shaft or
bar R by a set screw S according to my invention. The set screw is shewn with a
square-hole through it to receive the square end of the wrench. W. The hole might
however be polygonal or of any other form in which the wrench could not turn.
The end of the screw is cupped so as to present an edge all round to cut partly into
the shaft.
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 construction and use of setting screws made and applied substantially as herein
docaribed
