An Improvement in Incandescence Lamps.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Buildings,
Chancery Lane, in the County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by
Julius Moeller, of 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of London,
but at present of the Hotel Sacher, Vienna, Austria,) to be as follows:-
When incandescence lamps are employed for lighting streets or other places
where there is traffic of vehicles, the vibration communicated from the lamp-post
to the gas tube within it is apt to damage the delicate and fragile incandescence
mantles.
This invention relates to an appliance by which the communication of vibra
tion from the lamp-post to the gas pipe is prevented.
For this purpose the gas pipe is surrounded by a soft elastic buffer interposed
between it and the interior of the lamp post.
This buffer may be a hollow ring of caoutchouc slightly inflated, or it may
be a ring of caoutchouc having spokes projecting from it and bearing with some
slight pressure against the interior surface of the lamp post.

Improvements in or relating to Wardrobes or the like.
I, FRITZ VOGEL, of Herderstrasse 22, Dusseldorf, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 wardrobe or the like, which differs
essentially from all wardrobes or cupboards hitherto used for keeping clothes by
its peculiar and suitable construction.
The usual wardrobes are incomplete or imperfect, because it is impossible to
properly overlook the clothes kept in the wardrobe, when it is too full, whereby
it is difficult to choose and to take the clothes out.
These inconveniences are avoided by the new wardrobe in a suitable manner.
The arrangement and construction of the new wardrobe is shown in the annexed
drawing, in which
Fig. 1 is a front view of the wardrobe, one door being opened.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the closed wardrobe.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 shows a wardrobe provided with suspending frames.
The door or doors T are connected in a fixed or articulated manner with parts A¹
of the sides of the wardrobe A, which parts A¹ can turn or open outwards on
hinges, or bands a, so that these parts A¹ of the sides A open with the door.
On the sides and parts A A¹ there are arranged hinged lateral arms B Figs. 1
and 2, or frames R Fig. 4 provided with hooks or pegs for receiving and suspending
clothes.
In shallower wardrobes the lateral arms B or frames R can serve for receiving
objects requiring less room.
The arms B or frames R can, as shown in Fig. 3 in dotted lines, be connected
by a band g or any other suitable connecting means with the wardrobe or cupboard-
door, so that when opening the door the arms or frames are also moved out and
the clothes kept in the cupboard are easily overlooked. The arrangement, as well
as the manner of connection of the single parts of the cupboard or wardrobe which
may also have one door only, can be effected in various ways.
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. An improved wardrobe or the like in which part or parts A¹ of the side or
sides A are connected with the door or doors T either in a fixed or articulated
manner such parts turning on hinges or bands arranged on the sides A.
2. An improved wardrobe or the like in which hinged arms B or frames R are
arranged in the interior thereof which arms or frames can be connected by a band

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Securing Slates to Roofs.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middle-
sex, l'atent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Francois van
Bellinghen-Tomberg, of Brussels, Belgium, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is a new kind of spring clamp for fixing slates
on to roofs.
It has hitherto been the custom to secure the slates to a roof by fastening them
to sheathing or to wooden battens, or to fix them by means of a pointed hook,
which is driven into the battens or lathing.
The accompanying drawing illustrates a spring clamp according to my inven-
tion.
The heavy black line represents the spring clamp, having three prominent
spring bends, A1, A2, A3. This clamp is made of steel, galvanised iron wire, red
copper or any other suitable metal.
The spring bend A¹ tightly holds the deal batten B as well as the slate F.
The spring bend A² prevents the clamp from opening.
The spring bend A³ prevents any shifting of the upper slate E, this being
firmly held at the bottom.
It should be observed that none of the slates can get loose even in high winds,
each one being held from below by its own spring bend A³, each side vertically
by the adjoining bend, and held and supported above against the batten B, by
the upper row clamp, (see slates F and E).
The spring clamp is the same for slates of any dimensions, no hammer need
be used in making a complete roof.
In order to obviate excessive heat or cold, the intermediate wooden scantling C
may be introduced, and this may be of less thickness than that used for the
slate or slab.
The letter D indicates the position of the spring clamp for the slate or slab
coming next below.
The employment of this spring clamp allows of a much quicker fixing of thick
slates, the best for resisting the action of the weather, and of their being if
necessary replaced, and this in a perfect and easy manner, a thing which is
impossible with the method of fixing by means of nails.
The breakage arising from the piercing of the slates or from the fixing thereof
by means of pointed hooks is entirely avoided.
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:-

Improved Golf Ball.
Year: 1898

page_text: Date of Application, 22nd Feb., 1898-Accepted, 9th Apr., 1898
Improved Golf Ball.
I, ALEXANDER HENRY, Beaverbank, Edinburgh, North Britain, Gun and Rifle
Maker, 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 which relates to an improvement in the marking of golf balls
consists of a series of curvilinear or angular grooves and projections, ranging
from apex to apex over and around the periphery of the ball, thus imparting to
the ball when in flight a spiral or rotary motion on its apex, such as that of a
rifle bullet, whereby it maintains a straighter and steadier flight.
The accompanying drawing illustrates two views of such a ball shewing clearly
the method of arranging the grooves and projections.
The ball may be made of guttapercha or any other suitable material and by
reason of the angular or curvilinear cutting of the dies, the material of which the
ball is made, is so compressed as to render it more solid, than a ball constructed
with the ordinary form of marking.
Also in accordance with my invention the greater part of the surface of the ball
is below the points of contact with the club whereby the paint is less liable to
detriment.
The said grooves or markings as they may be termed may be of any number or
of any depth and of any degree or rate of spiral that may be deemed necessary
to ensure the steady flight of the ball.
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. The improved golf ball, substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn
in the accompanying drawings.
2. Providing golf balls with a series of curvilinear or angular grooves and
projections arranged to give the ball a spiral or rotary motion when in flight,
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shewn in the
accompanying drawings.

I, THEODOR WEISSER, of Brombergstrasse 16A, Freiburg, Baden, in the
Empire of Germany, Law Student, 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 improvements in locks in which the latch is formed
by a disk plate turning on an excentric pin.
Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing shows a front view of the lock in the locked
position. Fig. 2 shows the lock open, and the position of the single parts when
the plate forming the latch is swung out of the staple plate.
The plate latch is turnable round an excentrically placed pin or the like a
and is provided with an arm b. A plate B turning round c and turnable by
means of the handle is also provided with an arm & engaging with the arm b
and lifting the same in order to swing the latch plate A out of the staple plate S.
Moreover in the lock there is a bar, to be moved by means of the key for pre-
venting the movement of A. and B.
This bar C swings round a pin e and has two noses o and p which are operated
by the key. If the lock is closed, the key will operate against p and if open,
against o.
If the lock is closed the front end of this swinging plate C lies in the indent g
of the latch A in order to prevent the latch A from going or being turned back-
wards, at the same time the nose h lies before the nose i of the disk B in order
to avoid any movement at that point.
The spring F presses with its arm into one of the indents q or ŕ in order to
maintain the bar C.
The disk A has further another hollow into which a locking bar D engages,
when the shaft on which it is fixed is turned by hand from outside the lock.
The spring maintains it in the engaged position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. An improved lock wherein a latch A swinging round on an excentrically
placed pin a comes into the staple plate S and in which a bar C swinging round
on a pin e stops the movement of a plate B and the latch A or releases the same
accordingly as it has been raised or lowered by means of a key engaging with one
or other of two noses op on turning the key substantially as described and
illustrated.

into the path of the latch plate A substantially as and for the purpose
described.

An Improvement in Gear for Working Corliss and such like
Valves.
We, GALLOWAYS LIMITED, Engineers, of Knott Mill Iron Works, Manchester, and
ALFRED ETCHELLS, Engineer, of Knott Mill Iron Works, Manchester, 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 state-
ment -
This invention relates to gear for working Corliss and such like valves for steam
or other fluid pressure engines, as we shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 is a section partly in elevation of gear according
to this invention.
On the rocking spindle B on which is fixed the valve there is also fixed a lever A
one arm of which is connected by a rod G to a suitable spring or other appliance for
giving a sudden movement to G. On the opposite arm of A, which is shaped as an
are concentric with the axis of B, is fixed a hard metal bit D projecting a little
beyond the arc. On the boss of the lever A is fitted free to turn a disc F having a
crank pin L which is linked to an excentric or crank causing the disc to reciprocate.
On the disc is pivotted at E a pawl C which has fixed in its underside a hard metal
bit D¹, its edge engaging when the pawl is down with the edge of the bit D.
rear part of the pawl C extends downwards and is made with a curved face P. On
the bearing M is fitted free to turn a sleeve H having a crank pin N connected
by a rod O to a governor or hand lever by which the sleeve H can be moved to
various positions according to the cut off that may be desired; and on the
sleeve are two protuberances J and K arranged to come in the path of the curved
face P.
The gear operates as follows:-

When the disc F is moving in the direction of the arrow, the edge of D₁ being
engaged with the edge of D, the lever A is moved with it turning the spindle B so
as to open the valve, and straining the spring or other appliance connected to G.
When the part P of the pawl comes to bear on the protuberance J it is raised
thereby disengaging D¹ from D and thereupon the lever A is pulled rapidly back by
the spring or other appliance suddenly closing the valve. When the rod O is con-
pected to a governor the connection is so arranged that should the governor
mechanism be deranged the rod O is automatically moved by a weight or spring in
the direction of the arrow, thereby bringing the protuberance K to such a position
that it raises the part P of the pawl C thus holding the bit D¹ out of engagement
with D so that the valve is not opened at all.

I, PAUL EHRLICH, of No. 4, Breitenfelderstrasse, Gohlis, near Leipzig, Kingdom
of Saxony, German Empire, Managing Director, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Bellows for regulating the pressure of the wind in the wind-chest of musical
instruments have heretofore been so arranged as to become inflated as wind is
supplied to them.
In the arrangement according to the present invention, the regulating bellows
in the wind-chest are extended by a spring as long as there is no pressure in the
said chest. As soon, however, as pressure exists in the said chest, the bellows
are compressed and increase the capacity of the wind chest, and exert a regulating
effect upon the air pressure. The feed bellows are connected with each other
and with the operating device by means of a lever and link mechanism.

I, SAMUEL HENRY CROCKER, of 31, Furnival Street, Holborn, E.C., 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:
-
My invention relates to the substances and their proportions for making a mantle
for incandescent gas lighting to be used over an ordinary atmospheric gas burner.
The process of manufacturing these mantles is now well known and common
knowledge.
In preparing a solution from which to produce a mantle in accordance with my
invention, I dissolve in water a salt of thorium preferably the nitrate, and add
thereto an amount of nitrate of cerium.
It is well known that a mantle composed alone of the oxide of pure thorium is
of little utility for the emission of fight. When however, cerium is added in
certain proportions the mantle gives out a much improved light.
I am broadly aware that mantles have been composed of thorium and cerium,
and the important feature of my invention as herein set forth is the proportions
in which the two substances are mixed together in my improved mantle.
In making up the solution before referred to I add to the nitrate of thorium in
solution an amount of nitrate of cerium exceeding 2 per cent., and not exceeding
12 per cent. The addition of cerium in these proportions considerably strengthens
and increases the durability of the mantle, at the same time that it enables it to
emit a strong light. The mantle is made in the well known manner and used
over an ordinary atmospheric gas burner after the ordinary system of incan-
descent gas mantle lighting.
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:-
-
An incandescent mantle for use over an atmospheric gas burner, composed of
ihorium oxide and cerium oxide in the proportions hereinbefore set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for the Production of Ice.
I, JOSEF ZEHRA, Brewer's Engineer, of Konstanz, Baden, in the 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 relates to an apparatus for production of solid ice by
means of compressed gas for the purpose of shortening as much as possible the
time occupied in the freezing process.
The annexed drawing shows an example of the apparatus.
Fig. 1 is a view partially in elevation and partially in section. Fig. 2 shows
a section on the line A-B of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 a plan of the apparatus.
The
The apparatus consists of a box-like receiver 1 with double side walls within
which above the real bottom 2 at a certain distance a second bottom 3 is arranged
carrying the freezing cells 4 one beside the other with intermediate spaces.
compressed gases enter the apparatus through the tube 5, pass, in the
example shown, first along the fronti chaanber 6 in the direction
of the arrow, then into the end chamber 7 separated from the bottom chamber 10
by the wall 11, then along the rear side chamber 8 and the end chamber 9. The
latter being separated from the chamber 6 by the wall 12. The gases then pass
below into the bottom chamber 10 whence they go through the openings or
slits 13 in the bottom 3 into the intermediate spaces 14 between the cells 4 escaping
at last through the openings 15.
The gases thus pass all the faces of the freezing cells with exception of the
upper surface in order to freeze the liquid contained in the cells in a very short
time.
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:-
Apparatus for production of ice by use of compressed gas wherein the freezing
cells 4 are arranged with intermediate spaces 14 side by side upon the double
bottom 23 of a receiver 1 provided with double side walls so that the gas entering
the apparatus passes over all the faces of the cells with exception of the surface
for the purpose of hastening the freezing of the liquid contained in the cells.

page_text: I, HENRY ANGUS MURTON, of 87, Grey Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, in the County
of Northumberland, 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 racquet presses of the kind described in the specification of
Letters Patent No. 5800 of 1885, the object of my invention being to simplify the
construction and increase the efficiency of such presses.
According to my invention the clipping jaws are mounted upon pivot pins adapted
to slide in slots in the arms of the cross shaped frame, the clamping screws
being passed through screw-threaded lugs upon the jaws and bearing against the
said arms.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved press;
Figure 2 is a side view drawn to a larger scale than Figure 1 of one of the arms of
the frame with its jaw or clamp and screw; and
Figure 3 is an end view of the parts shewn in Figure 2.
a, a are the arms of the cross shaped frame, each of which is at its outer end formed
with parallel sides as shewn in Figure and provided with a slot b. c, c are the
clamping jaws which are of angular shape as shewn in Figure 2 and pivoted upon
pins & passing through the slots b, b.
e, e are the lugs formed upon the said jaws or clamps, which lugs are formed with
screw-threaded holes, and f, f are the clamping screws passed through the said lugs
and with their lower ends pressing against the tops of the arms a, a the said screws
serving for tightening the jaws upon the frame of the racquet placed in the press.
By arranging the jaws in the manner herein before described and passing the pivot
pins through the slots it will be obvious that the jaws can be moved more or less
towards or away from one another in order that the press may be adapted to receive
racquets of varying size.
The surfaces of the jaws and of those parts of the frame with which the racquet
comes in contact are faced with pieces g of cloth or other suitable material to prevent
the racquet frame from being injured.
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. A racquet press of the kind hereinbefore referred to having the jaws pivoted
upon pins sliding in longitudinal slots in the arms of the frame and having the
clamping screws inserted into screw-threaded openings in the said jaws, substantially
as described.
2. The manufacture and use of racquet presses having clamping jaws constructed

page_text: and arranged to operate, substantially in the manner herein before described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
