Improved Methods of Distributing Power by Electricity.
FREDERICK HENRY ROYCE of Eastbourne, Holland Road, Chorlton-cum-
Hardy, Electrician and ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT of Electron, Cavendish
Road Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Electrician 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 :-
With the system of wiring known as the 3 wire system.
We arrange for the voltage on one side of the 3 wire system to be greater than that
on the other for instance on one side the voltage could be 150 and on the other 50.
Having so arranged the voltage on the 3 wire system we use motors wound for
the maximum voltage which is obtained from the two outside wires of the system
and are able to connect the motors by suitable arrangements to the 2 outside wires
or the inside wire and either of the outside wires, so in the instance mentioned above
subjecting any motor to 150 volts, 100 volts or 50 volts the object being to obtain
various speeds of the motors brought about by these different voltages without
having to insert a resistance in the motor circuit which would give rise to a certain
amount of loss and inefficiency.
A resistance can however be used with any motor to give an increased range of
adjustment in speed if desired.
This method above described can be of course applied not only to the 3 wire system
but the 5 wire system and such further extensions and to other multiple wire
systems.
In order more clearly to explain the nature of this our said invention we have
attached hereunto a diagram whereon it will be seen F, E and D represent the 3 wires
of the 3 wire system conveying current through the double pole switch C and C¹
through the brushes B and B to the motor A.
The switch on the position 1 will consequently subject the motor to the E.M.F.
existing between E & D.
The switch on the position 2 will subject the motor to the E.M.F. existing
between E and F.
The switch on the position 3 will subject the motor to the E.M.F. existing
between F and D.
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
claim is-
The principle of varying the voltage upon an electro motor and consequently the
speed by connecting it to the different potentials offered by a multiple wire system,
the 3 wire system, the 5 wire system and such extensions having unequal or partly
unequal divisions of electromotive force.

heretofore in three pieces which have afterwards to be rivetted together.
Referring to the drawings sent herewith, I first stamp the fastener out of the
sheet metal in one of the forms shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, and afterwards bend it
at the points a and b into one of the three forms of complete fasteners as shown
respectively in Figs. 4, 5 and 6.
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:

Improvements in the Manufacture of Shoes
I, REINHOLD BENSER, Proprietor of the Firm of M M Schmidt, Mechanical
Shoe Works, of Gross-Strehlitz, Upper Silesia, 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 object of the present invention is to produce a comfortable and cheap shoe,
for use indoors, or at the sea-side, and more particularly for children
The shoe is formed of a single piece of leather or other material in the manner
hereinafter described
And in order to make 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 being a plan view of the piece of leather previous to its being formed to
the shoe,
Fig 2 a plan showing the manner in which the leather blank is turned up at the
beginning of the formation of the shoe,
Fig 3 a plan of the shoe fn shed, with the exception of the heel seam
The piece of leather or other material of which the shoe is formed is cut
pentagonal in shape, and the two upper sides a, e, and e, d, are provided with series
of circular holes o, the two longest sides, adjacent to the upper sides having each a
series of slots s arranged at short distances one from the other
The shoe is formed in the following manner
-
The point e is first tuined inwards and the two sides a, e, and e, d, laced together
as shown at Fig 3 The heel end b, c, is then folded as shown at Fig 2 and the
ends of the said side b, c, sewn together, the part of this side folded in, being then
pressed on to and attached to the rear end of the shoe A lace or ribbon is then
drawn through the slots s in the manner shown in Fig 3 and serves to attach the
shoe to the foot
The shoe thus formed is moistened and stretched on a last where it receives the
proper form
Shoes made according to the present invention are very light and can be
produced at the most moderate price As the shoe is merely stretched on the last
in order to attain the proper form, and is not hammered in any way, it will be
obvious that a great saving of lasts in the manufacture of shoes of the present kind
is attained
It is possible for a good workman to make ten paus of shoes of the kind specified
in one hou
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same 18 to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
(1) A shoe formed of one piece of material and having a seam at the heel,
and central lacing at the front upper part in the manner and for the purpose
substantially os desomhed

Improvements in Corsets.
I, MARY WUTOW of 81 Oxford Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Corset Maker, 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 :-
My invention relates to corsets, and has for its object to make them more supple
and yielding to the movements of the wearer, and still effective in preserving the
figure of the person, and making such corsets so as to be more healthy in wear
by allowing the escape of perspiration and keeping the body cool and at an even
temperature.
And in order that my said invention shall be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a drawing shewing a front
and part side, view of my improved corset, such view being designated Fig. 1.
In accordance with my invention I provide each side of the corset with a
number of elastic bands or straps (A), connecting the front portions (A') of the
corset to the back portions (A³). These elastic bands, which are arranged at
slight distances apart as illustrated to allow of ventilation are of different lengths
to allow for the proper fit of the corset and are secured at their respective
extremities by stitching or the like. In addition to these side straps I secure
straps or bands (B) entirely, or partly of elastic material to the tops of the
corset which in wear pass over the shoulders and serve to keep the corset in
position.
To facilitate the adjustment of the shoulder straps (B) the ends thereof are formed
with a series of holes (C) capable of taking onto, or over one of the hooks (D) on
the corset top.
In accordance with my further improvements I make the gussets or flexible
portions (E) of the corsets, of a material known as "stramin" (woven string or
similar material), canvas, or other openly woven fabric, having a stiffish finish and
producing a ventilated cloth. This cloth or canvas allowing of the escape of
perspiration, keeps the body cool and at an even temperature, and thus renders the
corset more healthy in wear than as at present made.
Although all the gussets are shewn as being made of the aforesaid "stramin "
part of them may be of the ordinary material.
Having thus 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 and desire to secure by Letter Patent is :-
In corsets, the use and combination of side straps or bands, wholly or partly of
elastic material; shoulder straps or bands also wholly or partly of elastic material
with facilities of adjustment; and gussets of "stramin," canvas or similar openly
woven material as and for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Tyres for Cycle Wheels.
I HERMANN BRAUN of Dresden, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to produce a tyre for cycle wheels which possesses-
all the advantages of a pneumatic tyre while being of a more durable character.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of part of a
cycle tyre constructed according to this invention, and Figure 2 is a cross section
thereof.
The tyre consists of a core d made of cork suitably impregnated enclosed in an
india rubber envelope a having protuberances or thickened parts b b so disposed as
to form longitudinal air spaces ff between the rubber envelope c and the cork
core d. The envelope a is also provided with a longitudinal air channel c situated
about mid-way between the cork d and the outside of the envelope a, and equi-
distant,from the air spaces f. The envelope is sewn or cemented to the cork core d,
and is secured to the rim e of the wheel in any suitable manner.
When in use the rubber envelope a is compressed and forced against the cork
core and by reason of the shape and disposition of the air chambers c and fƒ and
the springiness of the cork core a considerable amount of elasticity is given to the
tyre. Tyres so made possess all the advantages of the ordinary pneumatic tyres
being of equal elasticity and lightness, the weight of the cork being compensated
for by dispensing with air tubes and valves and the overlapping of the envelope,.
while, not being liable to be punctured or deflated, are consequently more durable.
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
A cycle tyre consisting of a cork core d suitably impregnated enclosed in an
india rubber envelope a having a longitudinal air channel c and thickened parts
forming two longitudinal air spaces between the cork core and the rubber
envelope substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Bodkins.
I FRANK DARLING ARTHUR, of Scarborough in the County of Westchester,
and State of New York, United States of America, Lawyer, 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 improvements in bodkins in which, instead of an eye to
hold the ribbon, tapes, or other material to be used, spring jaws are used, brought
together by a sliding clasp, as will be more fully described below.
The objects of my invention are to hold the ribbon, tapes, or other material, flat,
without twisting, while being drawn through lace or other material, and also the
saving of the material used, and to hold the ribbon in such a manner, that it will
not slip from the needle.
I attain these objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings in
which-
Fig. 1 is a view of the bodkin before being bent into shape.
Fig. 2 is a view, in perspective, of the bodkin beut into shape ready for use.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout both views.
The metal or other suitable material is cut or formed into the shape shown in
Fig. 1. Teeth bb are bent over sufficiently to form hooks for the purpose of
holding the ribbon more firmly (see Fig. 2). The device is then bent over on
itself at point a, which then becomes the point of the bodkin, until it assumes the
shape shown in Fig. 2. In this position, the teeth bb overlap each other. The
clasp d is then put on, so that it will slide in recesses c c (see Fig. 2). The clasp d
is made of metal, having rounded edges, to prevent it catching in lace when
being used.
To use the device, place the ribbon, tape, or other material to be used, between
the teeth bb; push the clasp d towards the teeth bb as far as it will go, causing
the jaws to come together, thus firmly holding the material in place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would here remark
that I am aware that, prior to my invention, bodkins have been made with spring
jaws; 1 therefore do not claim such invention broadly, but what I claim is :-
The bodkin, comprising a strip of spring metal folded upon itself, the folded
parts being provided with correspondingly narrowed portions for the reception of a
sliding clasp, and the free ends of the folded parts being provided with holding
jaws turned inwardly, and arranged to lap past each other, when the jaws are
closed, and a clasp surrounding the narrowed portions, and adapted to slide
towards and away from the holding jaws, to lock and release them, substantially as
set forth.

An Improved Burner Cap for Incandescent Gas Burners.
I, ALFRED GAREIS, of 75 Weidenweg, Berlin, 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 invention has for its object an improved cap for incandescent gas burners.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the burner-cap with a mantle fitted
thereon:
Figure 2 a vertical section of the burner-cap alone;
Figure 3 a modification of the same, and
Figure 4 a plan view of the burner-cap.
The burner-cap a has its upper part formed of a conical shape (or in other words
the burning surface is conical) and in this latter are several rows of holes d fe of
various sizes, for allowing the combustible gas or the like to pass through, said holes
being bored vertically to the conical surface of the burner-cap. A projection b
projecting towards the interior of the cap a has a recess c open at the top, which
may serve for holding a rod, as shown in Figure 1 for supporting the incandescent
body or mantle. Within the cap a round the projection 6 one, two or more layers
of suitable gauze or closely perforated discs 9 may be inserted, which produce
an even distribution and also a thorough mixture of the combustible (mixture of air
and gas).
The shape, material, construction or dimensions of the cap with the hereinbefore
mentioned fittings are regulated according to the objects for which it is to be
employed in each case.
By this invention the substance generally employed for combustion, namely the
mixture of gas and air, is thoroughly mixed and passes out through the holes dfe,
and owing to these holes being bored vertically to the bevelled or conical surface
of the burner-cap (or combustion surface), for instance at an angle of 45°, the
mixture of air and gas passing out of the same is conveyed in the most advantageous
direction against the mantle placed above.
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 improved burner-cap (a), such as shown in the drawing, having its upper
part formed of a conical shape provided with holes (dfe) of suitable size, arranged
in several rows vertically to its conical or bevelled surface, the said burner-cap
being arranged with or without one or more layers of gauze, or closely perforated
discs (9), and with or without a hollow projection (b) adapted to bold a rod for
supporting the mantle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

HENRY THOMSON Engineer Buckden Huntingdonshire JAMES THOMSON Engineer.
Buckden Huntingdonshire We do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to nails for nailing boots and shoes and the like, and consists
in connecting nails together thus forming a string of nails to any required length or
pattern.
We do not confine ourselves to any particular shape of nail but each nail to be
connected to the others by a bar or stay.
The bars or stays may be of any required length according to the space wanted
between each nail.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Connected Nails for Nailing Boots and Shoes and the like.
HENRY THOMSON and JAMES THOMSON of Buckden in County of Huntingdon,
Engineers 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 :-
We connect any desired number of nails together in rows or other patterns by
means of strips or bars of metal passing from the head of each nail to the heads
of the nails adjoining, in the manner shown in the accompanying drawing.
A A A A are the heads of the nails, B B B B are their points, CCC are the
strips or bars of metal connecting the heads together. In the drawing four nails
are shown joined in a single row, but our method of connection is the same
whatever be the number of the nails, and whether they be joined in single rows
or in sheets of any pattern.
The nails themselves may be of any pattern, and may be either cut, wrought,
or cast and the connecting strips or bars may be cut, wrought, or cast in one
piece with the nails.
:
By our invention we claim that much greater facility is gained in driving the
nails into the sole or heel, because rows or clusters of nails, or if so desired, all
the nails for the sole or heel in a single connected sheet, can be driven in at
once by hand or machine, and the labour and time involved in setting up and
driving in single nails is thus avoided.
Moreover, since the strips or bars connecting the heads of the nails can be
easily bent, or broken, or clipped off, it follows that any portion of a row or
sheet of nails can be detached from the rest and can be readily made to fit any
space desired.
Another object attained by our invention is that our connected nails are less
likely to be kicked out when walking than single nails would be.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:
The connection of the nails together in rows or other patterns by means of
strips or bars of metal passing from the head of each nail to the heads of the
nails adjoining.

A New Method of Book-marking or Place-finding in Books.
I CHARLES DEW MARSHALL, of Lichfield Works (The Aston Chemical
Company), Lichfield Road, Aston, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Agent, 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 object of my invention is to provide improved means for enabling readers
and users of and writers in books, and those using account, memorandum, order, and
other books, to indicate the extent to which their reading, writing, accounts, or
business transactions has been carried; whereby much time may be saved and
business expedited.
According to my invention I make a number of perforations in and through each
leaf of the book, (and the cover if necessary,) excepting, in some cases, such
portions of the book as the title page, the table of contents, and the index. These
perforations may be arranged in straight lines, curves, zigzag lines, or otherwise;
so that a portion or portions of each leaf may be readily removed by tearing the
same away along the line or lines of the perforation or perforations.
The perforation or perforations may be so arranged that the portion or portions
of the leaf to be removed may be triangular, rectangular, semicircular, diamond-
shaped, or of any other suitable form or configuration.
In making use of books prepared according to my invention the portion or
portions of the leaf outside of and contiguous to the perforations is or are torn
away, leaving the page deficient of such portion or portions.
By these means the book itself is at all times caused to indicate the place or
point to which its previous use perusal, or investigation has been carried, and its
memoranda made or accounts brought.
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declaro that what I
claim is
1. The new method of book-marking, or place finding, in bocks substantially as
and for the purposes described.
2. In the manufacture and preparation of books, the application and use of a
detachable portion or detachable portions of pages, by means of a perforation or
perforations in and through the same, substantially as and for the purposes herein-
before described.

An improved Letter File.
I, ADOLF HUMMEL, Manufacturer, residing at Freiburg in the Grand-Duchy
of Baden in Germany do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to produce a letter-registrator, wherein, in
discrepancy with all other known systems both holders are rigidly united with the
ground-plate the which is of the greatest importance for the durability and reliable
working of the device; my registrator being accompanied by a perforator, which
is only provided with one puncher and a moveable device for variable distances
between the holes.
A, Fig. 1, 2, 3, is the ground-plate, H. the one of the holder pair with arc, made
of solid wire for the letters to be disconnected. His the one of the second holder-
pair, whereon the registered letters are placed, the latter holder being perforated.
Both holders are rigidly fixed on the ground-plate A immovable. B is a movable
slide loosely fitted into the perforated holder H. FF are the centres of motion
of the lever J. The lever J is connected with the slide B, so as to lower
and raise the latter when the former moves correspondingly. The key M is
connected with the lever J and serves to raise and lower the lever or the slide H¹
respectively.
Fig. IV is the punching apparatus. D the superior moveable part with the
punches S. G the lower rigid part with hole L, and the thread holes K to K
applied to the arm O. P the screw fitted for the holes K to K
The operation is as follows:
The two holders H and H form together a horse-shoe shape with interruption
Fig. II. This interruption serves for inserting the documents. The junction of the
are is effected by the slide B. Fig. 1. which is moveable in the perforated holder H².
Slide B is connected with lever J in such a way as to cause the latter to raise
and lower the former. The closing and opening is effected by the key M. In Fig. 1
the registrator is closed, in Fig. If it is open. Fig. III is the view from below.
The holes necessary for registrating the letters are produced by the puncher
Fig. IV. The screw P is screwed into the thread-boles K and K at a proper
distance, the document is then folded in two, applied to P and with one pression
provided with two holes.
What I do claim as my invention, desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A letter-registrator, in which the holders are horse-shoe shaped and rigidly fixed
on the ground-plate, consisting on the one hand of a massive wire bent above and
on the other hand of a straight tube applied at a distance corresponding to the
insertion of the letters, in which tube a slide moves to and fro, destined to effect.
the opening and closing and regulated by a lever applied under the ground-plate
and furthermore of the corresponding punching apparatus with but one puncher
and a moveable letter applying device.

Improvements in Butter-workers.
I THOMAS THOMASSEN SABROE of Kannikegade, 12, Aarhus (Jutland) in the
Kingdom of Denmark, 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 :-
The object of the present invention is a butter-worker having a kneading table
rotated by means of an adjustable friction roller placed upon the driving axle, the
said roller acting upon a track below the table, while the kneading roller resting in
necessary bearings, receives its motion through a connection of cog wheels placed
outside the framing.
The apparatus which on the accompanying drawing is shown in longitudinal
section, consists of a stand that carries a fixed vertical axle n around which the
kneading table o can turn, the said table being supplied with a muff or bearer p
wherewith it is guided upon the axle.
Further the stand carries two bearings a, b, for the horizontal shaft c through
which the motive power is supplied to the table the said shaft carrying a somewhat
conically shaped friction roller d of paper, leather or other suitable material that
acts upon a corresponding track e on the underside of the table. The friction
roller is fastened to the shaft by means of a key so that the roller may be given
more or less tension as it is gradually worn down. On the part lying outside the
stand the said shaft moreover carries a pinion which by engaging in with the cog
wheel g imparts motion to the axle h of the kneading roller q The last mentioned
axle rests in two horizontal bearings i and j one of these being placed upon an
upright k on the stand the other one on an extension m of the abovementioned
vertical axle n around which the table o turns.
It is an essential advantage of this construction that a transmission of
cog wheels
is only employed outside the frame carrying the table in order that the teeth of
the cog wheels are preserved from the corroding influence of the brine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to he performed I declare that what I
claim is
A butter-worker characterized by the kneading table o being rotated by an
adjustable friction roller d placed on the driving axle c, the said roller acting upon
a track e on the underside of the table while the kneading roller 7 is set in fixed
bearings i and j and receives its motive power through a connection of cog wheels f
and placed outside the framing of the table as specified and substantially as
represented in the annexed drawings.
