COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Device for Locking Railway and other Barriers.
I, LEO COHN of 40 Schmiedebrücke, Breslau, Germany, Mining Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The present invention relates to a device for locking railway or other barriers
in a closed position and thus preventing their being raised or opened unintentionally or
without the knowledge of the attendant.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which the figure shows a side elevation of
the device.
The barrier is mounted to swing vertically in the post and having its counter-
poised end connected by a chain to a hand wineli e by means of which the
barrier may be raised and lowered. At the opposite end of the barrier is arranged
a double hook e adapted, when the barrier is down to enter the top of the post on
which same rests. Within the post are pivotally mounted a pair of retaining
hooks g, which either have spring shanks to keep them together or may be presse.I
together by springs arranged in the post. The point or end of the double houk
is wedge shaped and on the bar descending, pushes the retaining hooks g apart,
which then grip behind said hook and hold it fast in position. The bar may be
released from the attendants hut or shed by having pivoted to the lower ends of
its shanks members which are united at their lower ends and connected to a chain k
which leads over suitable guide rolls to a lever pivoted suitably at its lower end
and advantageously working on a notched quadrant. m, into which the end of the
spring lever o, actuated by the handle n engages. Obviously on throwing over the
lever, the chain will be tightened, pulling down the members A' and opening
the hooks to release the bar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The combination of a pivoted barrier having a double hook at its free end
a pair of spring hooks mounted in the post onto which said barrier end closes
and adapted to engage said double hook and means for retracting said spring hooks
substantially as described.
2. The combination of a bar a post in which same is mounted a jost / onto which
said bar closes, double book e on said free bar end hooks g pivoted together in said
post, springs to said hook members & connecting the lower ends of same and chain
and lever connection from said members to retract suid hooks substantially as
described.

A New or Improved Collar Stud.
I, AUGUST JOHANNES THEODOR SEBELIN, of 83, Niemannsweg, Kiel, in the
Empire of Germany, Retired Corvette Captain, 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 collar studs. With the studs heretofore used for
fastening gentlemen's stand-up collars to the shirt a great drawback has beeu
experienced owing to the fact that the collar is closely united with the shirt
and that as it cannot follow the movements of the neck, it constrains and
contracts it.
The stud made according to my said invention is designed to obviate this
drawback.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shows a plan of a collar with my stud.
Fig. 2 is a front view.
Fig. 3 represents a side view of the stud and
Fig. 4 is a plan of the same.
The improved stud is made in three parts, being constructed in the following
manner. A base plate (a) carries at the centre of its rear side a stud (b) which is
introduced into the neck-band of the shirt. At the front of the said base plate (a)
I provide two heads (c) and (d) intended for the reception of the two collar
ends (g) and (h) which now abutt against each other end to end, instead of
overlapping as hitherto. A turning movement thus takes place and the movements
of the neck are freely allowed for.
In the accompanying drawings I have represented my invention diagramatically,
inasmuch as it is of course possible, without modifying the principle underlying the
same, to produce a different constructional form by securing the heads b c d to the
base plate a, not rigidly as shown, but formed after the manner of the well-known
linked studs.
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 new or improved collar stud substantially as set forth.
In a collar stud the combination of a base plate, a rearwardly projecting stud
and two forwardly projecting studs substantially as set forth.

Improved Ball Joint for Pipes and Tubes.
1, CARL KÜHN, of 14 Wassmannstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner
the same is performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The present invention consists of a ball joint for all kinds of tube in which the
spring as employed in such joints is omitted and a short piece of rubber tube or
hose substituted therefor.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference denote
similar parts throughout the several views :-
Fig. 1 being a side elevation of the joint and
Fig. 2 a vertical section through the same.
The tube end a is provided with a curved outwardly extending shoulder a' in
the usual mauner, over which the cap B is passed. The body of the joint c is
screwed into the cap B in the usual manner and instead of inserting a spring as
has been hitherto done, a short piece of rubber tube or hose d has its ends suitably
fitted over the ends of the tubes a and C respectively. This piece of tube forms a
tubular connection between the parts which are capable of movement in any
direction and at the same time renders the whole joint gas tight.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is performed 1 declare that what
claim is :-
In a ball joint the arrangement of a short piece of rubber or other elastic hose
which forms a connection between the upper and lower tube ends and at the same
time acts to retain the parts in their respective positions as substitute for the spring'
hitberto employed in such joints.

A Honey Comb Frame Crock.
I, GILBERT WINTLE, of Como, in the County of Vaudreuil, Province of
Quebec, Dominion of Canada, Gentleman, 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 invention relates to vessels used in the bee keeping industry where the honey
comb is collected on wooden frames, and has for its object the safe keeping of the
frames charged with honey comb, when removed from the hive.
Reference is made to the drawings hereto annexed in which
Fig. 1 illustrates the crock in section.
Fig. 2 shows a portion of the crock from above with the cover partially
cut away.
When the frames which have been charged with honey-comb are removed from
the hives they must be protected from injury, kept clean and pure and preserved
from the ravages of vermin. There is also a considerable amount of honey which
drips from the frames, which is lost unless a device is provided to collect it.
The crock is constructed of any suitable kind of earthenware and may be
adapted to hold several or a number of frames according to its length.
The bowl B is made somewhat wider and deeper than the size of the frames A..
and is provided with a rim C. projecting inwardly near the top of the bowl B on.
its opposite sides. The rim C is wide enough to support the projecting ends E of
the top bars of the A. A cover D. is provided to fit closely on the top of the
bowl B.
The frames A are easily got at and the drippings of the honey are safely
collected in the bottom of the bowl.
The whole device can be readily cleansed and is strong enough to withstand a.
considerable amount of rough usage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven--
tiou, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A crock having an inwardly projecting rim on its opposite sides, adapted to
support the projecting ends of honey comb frames and provided with a suitable:
cover thereto.

Improvements connected with Injection Syringes and the like.
I, FRITZ FREIENSTEIN, of Scharrnstrasse 12/13, Berlin, 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 injection syringe tube with a screw cap nut for fixing
and permitting the exchange of the tube on subcutaneous and other surgical
syringes.
Hitherto this fastening has been effected usually by screwing or pushing it on a
cone, or on a cylinder provided, with a screw thread, whilst the tube itself was
connected inseparably with a cylindrical end piece, provided with a conical bore
or with a screw thread to be pushed or screwed upon the corresponding cone
or cylinder of the syringe body. Not only is such a fastening deficient and
insufficiently close but the tubes provided with these fixed end pieces occupy a
considerable space so that for a subcutaneous syringe the case will generally only
bold two, and always only a limited number of tubes, whilst it is of the greatest
importance and very desirable to have always a large number of tubes at hand,
as they very easily get stopped up, and for avoiding infection especially in dentistry
it is absolutely necessary to submit the tubes to a thorough disinfection, before they
are again used.
The object of this application allows of placing in one a large number of tubes
the hitherto used end socket being avoided and the tube A itself let into a small
cone B of soft metal.
A screw cap nut C which possesses a corresponding conical form in the part
where it rests upon the cone B, receives the tube and is pressed or screwed over
the lengthened syringe mouth piece D consisting of a cone or of a cylinder
provided with a screw thread. By screwing up this cap nut the tube is completely
tightened by the pressing of the cone B.
It will be understood that tubes thus fixed can be very easily exchanged and
cleaned and that on account of the small space which they occupy a larger number
of them can be arranged in a case of the usual size.
The cleaning is effected in the known manner by use of a thin wire E with eye E¹
as shown in Fig 2.
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
An injection syringe tube for subcutaneous and other syringes having a conical
head B fixed on its dull end and adapted to be pressed strongly upon the syringe
mouth piece D by means of a screw cap nut passed over the tube A and screwed
upon the mouth piece D.

MARTIN VIGERS, of 52. Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London, Surveyor and
Auctioneer 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 :-
A spring, marked A in Figure 1 on the accompanying plan, formed of steel or other
material, one end of which bears upon the axle, on either side of the wheel, and the
other end is left free to move up or down. The spring is made either in two pieces
braced together, as shewn in the plan & section, Figures 2 & 3, or in two pieces
from the axle to the back of the wheel and then in one piece; or it is formed of
tubes in place of the flat pieces shewn in the plan and section. The crank, marked B
on the plan, is fixed to the free end of the spring and the seat, marked C on the plan,
is fixed on the top of the spring. The Rods, marked D on the plan, or a single Rod,
pass through the spring, or on either side of it, and form guys, to prevent lateral
movement, and after passing the spring they are forked in order to allow the wheel
to pass through them. Guide Rods, on either side of the wheel, marked E on the
plan, extend from the axle to the crank, for the purpose of keeping the crank always
the same distance from the axle, and they are either fixed to both the axle and the
crank, and form springs, or they are hinged to one or both of them. Screws are
attached to these rods for regulating the tension of the driving chain. In Tricycles
the spring is fixed to the axle between the wheels.

Improvements in Securing Brush Handles.
I, WILFRED LAWSON 7, Market Street Burnley, Lancashire, Tea Dealer 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 the fastening or securing of brush handles to brush
heads.
This is generally accomplished by the handle being turned smooth and of
suitable size so as to fit into a hole which is bored into the brush head, the handle
is then driven into the hole or bore and fastened or secured in its place by a nail
which is driven through a small hole in the brush head and into the handle itself
thus fastening or securing them together.
By the above method many brush handles and brush heads are split and broken
and are also apt to work loose.
In this my invention I secure or fasten the handle to the brush by having the
handle screwed at one end and the hole or bore in the brush head tapped suitably
so as to receive the screwed portion of the handle by being secrewed in. Thus
fastening or securing them together without the use of nails or any-thing else and
preventing them from being split and broken or working loose.
My invention is illustrated and made more clear by referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a view shewing the screwed portion at the end of brush handle.
Fig. 2 is cross section of brush head shewing the tapped hole or bore.
Fig. 3 is an end view of brush head with the handle fastened or secured to it by
being screwed in.
Fig. 4 is a front view of the brush and portion of handle shewing them fastened
or secured together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

I WASUDEO BALWANT SOMAN of 20 Parel Road, Cross Lane, Parel, Bombay,
India, Head Clerk at the Indo-China Mills, Bombay, 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 said invention relates to machines for sizing or dressing cotton yarns and is
particularly applicable to those yarns inten led for hand loom weaving.
In order to more clearly set forth my said invention I have appended hereunto
a drawing to which reference is hereinafter made and which is to be considered as
part of the present specification.
The said drawing represents in side elevation a sizing or dressing machine
constructed in accordance with my said invention.
The beams b b b which contain the yarn to be treated in the form of warp are
mounted in the usual manner in bearings in the frame of the machine. The
yarn was it leaves the beams passes through a size trough i and between calender
or squeezing rollers jj as in an ordinary sizing machine. From the calender
rollers the warp passes first over the guide rolls kk under the guide roll thence
under and over the second pair of guide rolls k past the dividing rods w¹ and
then on to the winding beam h.
At d and dare cylinders having a number of brushes on their cylindrical
surfaces. These cylinders are so adjusted with regard to the warp that the brushes
just penetrate between the warp ends in order that as they revolve they may
separate and clean the ends or threads of yarn and by removing any superfluous
size ensure uniformity in the coating of size on the yarn. The cylinders are caused
to rotate in the directions indicated by the arrows with a surface speed greater
than that of the yarn passing through the machine. Smaller brush rollers
working against the brush cylinders d d¹ serve to strip off accumulation of size.
These stripping rollers may in turn be kept clean by a stripping comb or by
hand.
Rotating fans c c are mounted respectively over and under the brush cylinders d d'
in order to hasten the drying of the yarn.
The fans and cylinders are driven by belting or gearing as will be well understood.
A convenient way of driving them is by belting from a central driving shaft s, as
illustrated in the drawing. The number of brush cylinders or fans may be varied
to suit particular cases.
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 sizing
or dressing machine for yarns substantially as hereinbefore set forth
and described and shown in the accompanying drawing.
2. In a sizing or dressing machine for cotton yarn the combination of brush
clad cylinders with rotating fans substantially as and for the purpose set forth and

An Improvement in Cartridge Bags.
I, ANN WILSON trading as J. C. Cording and Company, of 19, Piccadilly,
London, W., Manufacturer of Waterproof Fabrics, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improvement in cartridge bags or wallets for use by
sportsmen whereby the contents can neither be lost nor be damaged through
becoming wet.
According to my invention I attach a circular broad band of suitable flexible
material, preferably waterproof sheeting, to the top edge of the mouth of the bag
thus forming a sacklike extension of the same, and, as a means of closing the said
extension, I provide it with tapes or strings, or it may have an endless cord passing
through holes around it so that on pulling the cord the material would be drawn
together and the opening thus closed.

An Improved Process for Making Photographic Negatives.

An Improved Process for Making Photographic Negatives.
A communication to me from OSWALD MOH, of 23, Augustastrasse, Görlitz, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
1, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, 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, that is to say :-
In photographic processes it has been heretofore customary to use permanently
transparent supports for the surface sensitive to light, such as glass, celluloid,
gelatine film, and the like. Such a method of procedure is, however, so far
disadvantageous that the production of imperfections and marks at the back is
not prevented. This last objection is occasioned by part of the light directed upon the
plate passing through to the back of the latter and being reflected from it, the result
being that the definition is less sharp, and imperfections and marks are produced
upon the back. The present invention has for its object an improved process for
making a support for the sensitive surface of photographic negatives, of such kind
that it is opaque to light during the process of exposure to take the picture, whilst
for printing from the negative the light can perfectly freely pass through it.
Experiments have proved that for such purposes paper is a particularly good
material, as by treating it with transparent oil before it is used for printing it
becomes thoroughly transparent to light. A process of the kind described has also
the very great advantage over the ordinary ones, that the use of backs of suitable
wood or other like material is rendered quite unnecessary.
By making the support for the sensitive film transparent, the retouching
of the negative can be done from the back, so that defects in the retouching can
be corrected by the aid of indiarubber eraser or by means of etching gum.
By the use of an opaque support for the sensitive film all refraction and reflection
of the light is prevented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved photographic process in which in order to render unnecessary
wooden or other backs of the like kind, a support for the negative sensitive surface
is used, which during exposure to obtain a picture is opaque to light, but for
subsequent printing is rendered transparent, substantially as described.
2. A method of carrying out the process claimed in Claim 1, in which the
support for the negative sensitive surface is formed of paper, which before being
used for printing is rendered transparent by treating it with transparent oil,
substantially as described.

Improvements in Door Mats.
I, CUNO DIRLAM of 129 Kronprinzenstrasse, Soligen, Germany, Merchant, do
bereby 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 has for its object to construct a door mat consisting of iron strips
or bande capable of being readily replaced when worn. This mat whilst being
simple in construction and durable can be made very cheaply.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have
hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings whereon;
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the improved mat,
Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line X-X Fig. 1.
In carrying out my invention I make the mat of iron bars or laths of suitable
thickness. The outer frame a is made in one piece which is fastened at the seam d
by means of one or more rivets. The ends of the longitudinal and transverse
bars b, c, are furnished with pins a¹ whereby they can be fixed to the frame a by
riveting. To connect the longitudinal with the transverse bars, slots or recesses
are cut in them into which the transverse bars are inserted. To prevent the
longitudinal bars bending the recesses e are made alternately in the top and bottom
of the bars 6 so that the transverse bars c are disposed alternately at the top and
bottom of the bars as shown at Fig. 2. By means of this arrangement a fixed
and rigid mat is readily produced.
When desired, any of the worn longitudinal or transverse bars can be readily
removed and replaced by new ones.
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 consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A mat constructed of iron bars, strips, or laths, consisting of a frame a,
longitudinal and transverse bars b, c, furnished at both ends with pins for riveting
purposes, the longitudinal bars having slots e into which the transverse bars are
inserted, substantially as herein before described with reference to the drawings
annexed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Elastic Tyres for Bicycles, Velocipedes, or other
Wheeled Vehicles.
I, WILLIAM JOHNSTONE the younger of The Semaphore in the Province of South
Australia, 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 the construction of tyres for bicycles, velocipedes, or other
wheeled vehicles.
Its object is to construct a tyre which while possessing similar advantages to the
so-called "pneumatic" tyres, shall, by not being itself pneumatie, not be constantly
liable to puncture; thereby obviating the necessity of constant renewal and repair to
which pneumatic tyres are now liable.
For the purpose of my invention I make use, in place of the air tubes now in use,
of a core of cork, or of a core made from a composition of ground or granulated
cork. This core may be either solid throughout, or in the form of a tube having
a circular air space, to render it more elastic. It is preferably cut from a strip
of the material by a revolving tube or mandrel of the required size, and afterwards
rendered pliable by any well known means. After being, if desired, encased in a
covering of canvas, it is pushed or pressed into the tube of indiarubber, or provided
with a rubber shield as in the case of the "Dunlop" tyre.
To secure it to the wheel, the core is first thoroughly coated with cement over
its entire surface. The tube or casing of indiarubber is well pasted or cemented
on, or laced tight at its inner ends through eyelets in the ordinary way. The
rim of the wheel is well coated with cement or other adhesive substance. The
core and tube are fitted over and into the rim and allowed to rest until hardened or
set when the tyre can be used.
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 :-
In tyres for bicycles, velocipedes or other wheeled vehicles, an internal core of cork,
or of a composition containing cork, such core being either solid or tubular,
substantially as herein described.
