An Improvement in Cover-plates for Cellar Openings.
We ARTHUR PYE-SMITH of The Pancras Iron Works, St. Pancras Road, Engineer,
and THOMAS MANDER of 18 St. Pancras Road King's Cross Mechanic, 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 means of fixing the plates used for covering the openings
made in pavements and elsewhere for admitting coals or other things to cellars
beneath. The accompanying drawing is a section of such a plate and its frame, with
means, according to this invention, for fixing the plate so that it cannot be raised
unless it is released by a person operating in the cellar below. A is part of the
paving in which is fixed the frame B recessed to receive the cover plate C. To this
cover plate we hinge two arms D D which at some distance below are connected by
a toggle joint E made with butt stops for its two extreme positions.
The arms D
terminate in handles F and are made with shoulders at G which engage under the
edge of the frame B. On applying the hands to F to bring the two handles together
causing the toggle E to bend upwards, as indicated by the dotted lines, the shoulders G
are withdrawn from under the frame B and the plate C can be raised. In replacing
the plate to cover the opening, the arms D) pass down in the dotted position, and the
weight of the parts constituting the toggle E, with the slight shock attending the
dropping of the plate, causes the arms to expand and lock the plate down.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In combination with a cover plate for a cellar opening and its frame, a pair of
arms hinged to the plate, connected by a toggle and made with shoulders to engage
under the fixed frame constructed and operating substantially as described.

An Automatic Slide or Device for Holding Together the Ribs of an
Umbrella or Parasol when Closed.
I, JOSEPH PEARSON of Ashenhurst Huddersfield in the County of York, Engineer's
Assistant, 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 consists in an automatically sliding sleeve, which slips over the free
ends or points of the ribs or frame-wires of an umbrella or parasol when closed,
thereby holding them compactly together, and preventing the umbrella or parasol
from falling open accidentally, or from being blown open.
To onable this invention to be fully understood I will proceed to describe the same
with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a soctional
elevation of a portion of the stick of an umbrella to which my improved automatic
slide is applied.
Figure 2 represents a section of the slide, and Figure 3 the spiral spring by means
of which the slide is actuated.
A portion of the stick from A to B is turned true and parallel, and upon this is
fixed the collar C, and the short length of brass tube D, upon which slides the sleeve E,
which is provided with an internal collar F, which serves for one end of the spiral
spring G to press against, the other end of the spring pressing against the collar C.
The sleeve or slide E is by pressure of the spring G caused to slide automatically
over the ends of the ribs J of the umbrella or parasol, thus holding them together
until released by pressing back the slide or sleeve, which operation at the samo time
compresses the spring G.
The ring H serves as a guide for the sleeve E and prevents it from moving out of
its place.
What I claim is,
Upon the stick or handles of umbrellas or parasols, the sliding sleeve E, with
the internal flange or collar F, combined with the spiral spring G, each part being
constructed and operating substantially in the manner described, and as represented

Improvements in Accordions.
1, JOHN CINCINATUS HINGSTON, of 32, Patshull Road, London N.W., Manager, 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 a new method of protecting the rims of the bellows of
accordions against bendings or damages by providing said rims with metallic frames,
and of securing such frames firmly in place by very simple and yet highly effective
means.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawings,
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the different views, and in
which:
Fig. 1 is a horizontal section through a part of the bellows;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through a part of a modified bellows;
Fig. 3 is a side view of a metallic frame, and
Fig. 4 is a side view of two connected frames.
The bellows of an accordion after being formed in due manner, and covered with
coloured paper, linen or the like, is furnished with metallic frames A of U-like cross-
section in such a manner, that each of the outer edges C is completely surrounded.
Each frame consists of two parts the ends of which grip one over the other. By
uniting said ends by means of rivets C the two halves of the metallic frame A A
(Fig. 4) are perfectly prevented from slipping off of the rims, and the edges are
thus very effectively protected.
In case the rims have two edges, as for instance in Fig. 2, the frames A are somewhat
broader, so as to cover the space between both the edges.
I am well aware that bellows have already been provided with metallic rims; those
rims, however, being of semicircular cross-section, made special means, as for instance
slits and projections, necessary for holding the rims in place. Nothing of that kind
is required by my invention.
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 an accordion: The combination, with the bellows, of metallic frames,
having U-like cross-section, and surrounding the outer rims of the bellows, substan-
tially as described.
2. In an accordion: The combination, with the bellows, of metallic frames,
having U-like cross-section, and surrounding the outer rims of the bellows, said
frames consisting each of two parts being connected by rivets or their equivalents,
substantially as described.
3. In an accordion: The combination, with the bellows, of metallic frames, having
U-like cross-section, and surrounding the outer rims of the bellows, said rims having
two edges formed by inwardly bending the outer part of the paste-board, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Driving Pulleys.
I JOHN MACKIE, of 165 King's Road, Reading, in the County of Berks, Engineer,
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 object of my invention is to construct driving pulleys in an improved manner,
whereby the difficulty of placing and fixing pulleys of small diameter on shafts and
spindles is overcome."
In carrying out my invention, I dispense with the ordinary solid portion of the boss
which surrounds the shaft, and, instead thereof, I form the boss with radial, longi-
tudinal and annular ribs, or analogous provisions for forming contact surfaces with the
shaft.
My invention is applicable to solid, split through, and partly split or spring
pulleys.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained
-reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts; such drawings illustrating the application of
my invention to a spring pulley.
Fig. 1 is an end view of a spring pulley, and
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line a 6 of Fig. 1.
c is the outer rim or band of the pulley.
d is a ring of T section, to which the rim c is pinned or riveted. e e are split
clamping flanges or ribs for the reception of the fixing bolts and nuts ff. 9 g are
plain ribs at right angles to e e.
The internal surfaces of the ring d, and ribs e and 9 form contact surfaces for the
shaft or spindle.
By the above described method of construction the screws and nuts are conveniently
placed for fixing, adjustment and removal; the pulley is also lightened, and rendered
more compact.
The bosses may be made with or without keyways for fixing with keys, or for
receiving the improved changeable bosses or linings described in my specification
No. 619289.
The pulleys may be constructed of wrought or cast iron, steel or other metal.
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. The improved construction of the bosses of driving pulleys, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.

Improvements in Apparatus for the Condensation of Nitric Acid
and other Distillation Products.
I, OSCAR GUTTMANN, of Eton Road, Haverstock Hill, in the County of Middlesex,
Civil 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 :-
The condensation of nitric acid and of many other distillation products has
hitherto been usually done by passing the gases and vapours through a great number
of vessels in succession, exposed to cooling, the gases not condensed in the vessels
being finally condensed in a coke or plate tower.
Sometimes also, worms of earthenware have been used. The recipient vessels
have sometimes been provided with means of automatic discharge of the condensed
products, but generally these products have been from time to time drawn off,
products of different density being thus obtained from the different vessels.
My invention relates to means of condensing, especially applicable in the
manufacture of nitric acid and in the denitration of the waste acids from the
manufacture of nitroglycerine, nitrobenzine, and the like, the object which I have
in view being to deal with a large volume of vapours by simple and compact
condensation plant, and to obtain acid of high concentration and uniform quality with
very little impurity.
For this purpose, I arrange condensing apparatus as shewn by Fig. 1 of the
accompanying drawings. It consists of a row of vertical pipes A. usually of
earthenware, connected at top and bottom alternately by bends B, the bottom
bends B all communicating through traps and branch pipes C with one common
receptacle D.
The gases and vapours enter the first of the pipes at E descend and ascend
alternately to issue at F, depositing on their way the condensed liquid which trickles
down and passes to the receptacle D.
As shewn in transverse section Fig. 2 two or more rows of cooling pipes may
discharge into one duct.
The condensing pipes may be arranged in several rows connected together by
arranging their upper bends so as to connect alternately pipes of one of the rows
with pipes of the other row.
By employing in this way long condensing pipes presenting an extended surface
available throughout for condensation, the distillation can be carried on rapidly and
the space occupied by numerous receiving vessels is dispensed with.
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:-
:—
For condensing nitric acid and other distillation products, a row of vertical pipes
connected by bends alternately at top and bottom, with trapped outlets from the
bottom bends, arranged and operating as described.

I JOHN DEWRANCE of 158 Great Dover Street London S.E. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to cocks packed with cemented asbestos as described in the
Specification of a l'atent granted to me No. 4282 of 1883. It is found in practice
that if such cocks are tested under steam and then kept for some time before being
put into use any excess of sulphur is liable to act upon or corrode the surface of the
plug and if grease or oil is put upon the packing when putting the cock together
the grease is liable to destroy the surface of the packing & combining with the
rubber to form a tenacious sticky substance that prevents the plug being turned as
easily as is desirable.
My invention consists in coating the surface of the packing after it is vulcanized
with a mixture of spirit varnish & plumbago or soapstone. The spirit varnish is
composed of a hard gum dissolved in spirit. The gum holds the plumbago &
prevents it being washed away by the steain & water & at the same time prevents
the sulphur acting upon the surface of the plug.

together, the grease is liable to destroy the surface of the packing and combining
with the rubber to form a tenacious sticky substance that prevents the plug being
turned as easily as is desirable.
According to my invention I do not use any oil or grease but I coat the
packing after it is caulked into the grooves, and by preference a second time
after the packing is vulcanized, with a mixture of varnish and plumbago or
soapstone. The plumbago or soapstone acts as a lubricant and the varnish
prevents it being washed away by the fluid passing through the cock and at
the same time prevents the sulphur in the packing corroding the plug.
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 :-

being raised by the action of the seat it lowers the spindle (D) carring the cover (E)
of valve on to the seating (F) letting a small quantity of water through before the
valve closes but on it being released by the seat of closet being raised the water
flowes through the inlet (G) through the valve and out at (H) but to regulate the
quantity of water passing through the valve and also to close it a small channel (I) is
made in the body from the inlet (G) carring a pressure of water under the cup-
leather (J) and so forces the second cover (K) of valve up against the seating (F)
shutting off the flow of water through the valve the force of water passing under
the cupleather (J) being regulated by screw (L) permits a certain and unvarying
quantity of water to pass through valve A before the valve closes.
Having now particulary 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

Improvement in Alarm or Call Whistle for Cyclists.
HENRY NEWMAN Professor of Music, 14 Lozells Road, Aston Birmingham 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 an easy & safe method, whereby cyclists can carry
with them & use effectively a whistle-without the danger & trouble of placing the
same to their mouth.
In carrying out my improvement, I construct in metal or other material a whistle
in any pattern, & either twin or otherwise, & also in any key, note, or pitch. I also
make a small india-rubber-ball with a short mouth piece to it & the aperture of
this india-rubber ball, I fasten by any means, whatsoever upon the aforesaid
whistle.
Thus the india-rubber ball & whistle are attached together, & I also make a clip &
fix this to the whistle & joine the same upon any cyclists machine in such a position
as shall be required, either upon the handle of the velocipede or any other part thereof
or by such other mechanical attachments as shall be found needful. Striking the
before named india-rubber ball, with the hand or pressing the fingers produces the
alarm or call from the before mentioned whistle, or the india-rubber ball may be
actuated by a leaver, instead of striking with the hand or pressing with the finger's, &
also instead of the india-rubber ball, bellow's, may be constructed to act upon the
whistle, to produce the alarm or call.
In the accompanying sheet, of illustrated drawing-Fig. I. showing a view of the
improved cyclist whistle on position on bar of the handle of machine A. A. Bar for
handle of machine. B. India-rubber ball. C. Short mouth piece of india-rubber
ball. D, Ring to clip or fasten the india-rubber ball on whistle. E. E. Whistle.
F. Showing connection of joining whistle on to bar of machine. G. Clips to grasp
bar of machine. H. H. Screws to tighten clips on bar, so as to hold the whistle
firmly.
I should observe, that I am aware that an india-rubber ball & reed instrument is
sold, but from this instrument, there proceeds such an hideous noise, that it is a perfect
nuisance, & is considered dangerous, from its sudden blast, & horses are apt to be
frightened thereby, but my improved cyclist whistle, will remove all this cause of
danger & terror.
Having now described the nature of my invention, & in what manner the same
is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
The combination of a small india-rubber ball with a short mouth piece, & a whistle
for an alarm or call for cyclists, with clip for attaching to the handle bar of velocipede,
as setforth, illustrated & described in the accompanying drawing.

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 improvement consists in reproducing in facsimile maps and other drawings for
class teaching in such manner that though seen on close inspection the delineations
are invisible or only indistinctly seen when placed a few feet from the observer. This
reproduction in facsimile is attained by any one or more of the various methods of
printing stencilling or otherwise, the maps and other drawings for class teaching in
faint lines, and other faint marks, or in black lines and other black marks upon black
substance or material or in colored lines and other colored marks upon substance or
material of similar color or by embossing or other similar or analogous process or
processes. The lines and other marks seen on close inspection are intended to be
traced with chalk, crayon, pencil, or other similar or analogous substance or substances
in such manner that when so traced the maps and other drawings are plainly seen.
The invention extends only to maps and other drawings for class teaching reproduced
in facsimile on surfaces from which lines and other marks made with chalk crayon
pencil or other similar or analogous substance or substances may be easily obliterated
without chemical agency.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is,
The method of reproducing in facsimile maps and other drawings for class teaching
the delineations of which maps and other drawings though seen on close inspection
are invisible or only indistinctly seen at a distance of a few feet from the observer and
from which lines and other marks traced with chalk crayon pencil or other similar or
analogous substance or substances on such maps and other drawings may be easily
obliterated without chemical agency.
