page_text: Improvements in Sash, Axle, and other Pulleys.
I WILLIAM SAMUEL JOHNSON of 105 Wellington Street Glasgow in the County
of Lanark Wholesale [ronmonger 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, to give facilities for oiling and cleaning Sash, Axle
or other pulleys, also for the ready renewal of Cords, Chains, and Lines, by being able
to remove the Wheel, Axle, and Bushes, from the Pulley-box when fixed in its position
in the Window frame. I make the Pulley-box in one piece (or in several pieces if
preferred) of a somewhat similar form to an ordinary Sash or Axle Pulley, but with a
recess on each side to admit the bushes on which the Axle revolves, to slide in, screw
holes are made in the face of the Pulley-box for the purpose of screwing it to the
window frame.
I make the Wheel and Axle of the usual size and form.
I make two bushes of an oblong or other required form, in each of which I make a
circular hole of same diameter as the axle. I place one of these bushes on the pro-
jecting Axle on each side of the Wheel, and then slide Wheel and bushes into the
Pulley-box, along the recesses left for that purpose, the Axle and bushes being covered
in are entirely protected from dust and damp.
I now fix a loose cover or face-plate against the face of the Pulley-box by means of
two small neat screws, thus preventing the bushes and wheel from coming out of
position, and which also covers up the common screws used in fixing the pulley box
to the Window frame.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
nd in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1st. The improved formation and construction of the Axle Pulley substantially as
escribed and represented in annexed drawings, or any mere modification thereof.
2nd. The method in which the Axle and bushes are entirely covered in.
3rd. The application of the improved formation and construction, to all other kinds
of Pulleys.

page_text: An Improved Manufacture of Slipper.
I, JOHN BLAKEY, of Lady Lane, Leeds Yorkshire, Boot and Shoe 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 bas reference to the construction and manufacture of a cheap slipper
or foot covering, the sole of which I propose to make from paper, cardboard or other
like cheap material, but the "upper"-I propose to make from cloth, felt or other like
material. In order that the slipper may be cheaply manufactured I propose to connect
the "upper" to the sole by stitching, which stitching will be exposed to view and not
within the slipper as is now the case.
Such being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
the same more fully, and for that purpose annex hereto the accompanying sheet of
drawings illustrative thereof. Fig. 1 is geometrical view of a slipper made according
to my invention, and Fig. 2 is plan view of same. A is the sole composed of compo-
sition, card board, or other like material, and B is the "upper" composed of leather,
cloth, felt or other like material. On observing the illustration Figs. 1 and 2 it will be
seen that the "upper" is sewn to the sole at the outer edge of both sole and "upper,"
and that the shade line a represents the commencement of the "upper" which receives
the foot. Slippers made of this combination of material, and sewn together as shewn,
can be very expediously made, and retailed out at a small cost and will be found very
light and useful for indoor use.
«
In order to preserve or strengthen the toe of the slipper the said upper" may be
cut short at the toe as shewn in Fig. 3. and sewn around the sole as the drawings
illustrates.

page_text: دو
The toe of the sole may then be "scored or slightley cut so as to turn up without
breaking, as shewn in Fig. 4. Although the "upper" does not extend all around the
sole, I nevertheless let the stitching go all around the sole as indicated by dotted lines
on the drawings, for the purpose of binding the edge of the sole all around.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is.
In a slipper, the combination of a sole made from paper or other like material, with
"uppers" made from cloth, felt or other like material, and manufactured in the manner
substantially as herein shewn and described.

I, ADOLPHE DONNELEY, of 21 Graskeller Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, 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 :-
This invention relates to tubular boilers, in which furnace gases circulate about pipes
containing water and in which the boiler also forms a water jacket for the outer wall of
the fluc.
The invention has for its purpose to enable the outer surfaces of the tubes to be
cleaned this object being attained by making the said jacket removable in the herein-
after described manner.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a sectional
plan and Fig. 3 an end view of the steam generator constructed according to my
invention, Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a detail.
The tubes a are fixed at the required distance from each other, between the tube
plates R and R. The gases pass between the tubes in the direction indicated by
arrows. The closing of the space at each side, is attained by the tubes s closed at one
extremity and adapted to be screwed with the other extremity into one of the tube-plates.
Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of such a tube on an enlarged scale. In the upper end
of the tube s is welded an iron core m having a bore h, leading into the tube, and
provided with a narrow threaded mouth o by which the tube is screwed into the
plate R.
e e are recesses or cavities for a suitable driver. These tubes s are fixed at
such a distance from the outer row of the water pipes a, that each tube s fills up the
free space between two contiguous tubes 4 and therefore sufficiently closes the wall of
the flue to dispense with walls, it is not necessary therefore that the tubess should be
in contact with each other the tubes s may, however be so screwed into the plate R
that they form a close outer jacket without being in contact with the tubes a.

page_text: An outer wall p of sheet iron adapted to be removed, may enclose the chamber to
avoid any escape of smoke or gases.
The tubes s are made of such a length as shown in the drawing as to admit of their
being unscrewed from the plate R when they are to be removed.
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 :--
In tubular boilers in which rows of tubes form walls to the flues, the arrangement of
tubes s adapted to be screwed into the tube plates, the said tubes s being closed at one
end and communicating at the other end with the water in the boiler, substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.

page_text: 1, RICHARD NORMAN SHAW of 29 Bloomsbury Square in the County of Middlesex,
Royal Academician, 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 drain pipes or pipes intended for the conveyance of
fluids.
The invention consists in the improved construction of pipe as hereinafter
described.
With the ordinary socket pipes as now generally used considerable difficulty is
experienced in making the joints and at the same time leaving the pipe free from
obstruction, for the workman cannot see the full extent of the work he is doing when
he fills the joint with cement and as a consequence in practice there is often a small
space into which the cement has not gone, or what is equally objectionable a portion
of the cement has risen up from the joint, so that a projecting piece stands up forming
the commencement of perhaps a serious obstruction. These objections may be obviated
by the use of the present invention, and in order that the said invention may be
clearly understood, reference is made to the accompanying drawing forming part of
this specification, and in which :-
=
Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of a pipe; the cover or top portion being in
part omitted.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation on a larger scale.
The lower section A of the pipe is formed with a usual end joint and top ledges a a,
upon which is placed the cover or top section B, as shown. The lower sections being
first laid on a bed of concrete or otherwise, the joints b. being both visible and
accessible can be readily filled in and pointed and the work may be tested prior to
covering with the sections B which latter are cemented in as at C thus making a
complete pipe. Curves and right and left hand pipe sections are made in the same
manner.

page_text: I am of course aware that it is not new to provide a receptacle with an internal
ledge for a cover to rest upon, and that flanged pipes, brasses, and the like are well
known in the trade, and I do not claim such as my invention, but―

Metallic Pole or Improved Pole for Lawn Tennis and similar
Purposes.
We, JOHN ALEXANDER DUTHIE of Pitmedden House Udny, Engineer, and JAMES
ANDERSON of Metallic Racquet Coy., Waterloo Quay Aberdeen, Manufacturer, both
in the county of Aberdeen Scotland do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
A METALLIC POLE OR IMPROVED POLE FOR LAWN TENNIS AND SIMILAR PURPOSES, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
Our Improved Pole is designed to supply a simple and effecient Pole, which can be
set up and taken down in a very short space of time, also with an improved and very
simple method for the tightening of the top cord of the net, whereby it can be
accurately adjusted to any required tention in a few seconds.
We construct our pole of Iron tubing colapsed and welded at the ground end to
form a point for insertion in the ground, a foot from the point is fixed a cross bar
three inches long at either side which when the pole is in the ground lies on the
earth. Stays, Grapling Irons, or ground fixtures, are then hinged to the pole, by the
cross bar, one at either side, the blades of which are then driven into the ground.
This method of ground fixture can be set up or taken down in the space of one
minute, and is thoroughly firm and has a neat appearance.
The net tightening arrangement consists of a pully and pall which work auto-
matically only requiring the rope to be placed over the pully and pulled tight from
behind the pole, when the pall falls down and holds it tight, to unfasten again all that
is required is to press the end of the pall slightly upwards when the rope will at once
run slack. This method is very simple and effective, it can be worked by anyone,
and only requires about five seconds to adjust the net to any required tention. These
poles can be made either with a centre joint fixed by means of a screw and thimble
or in one length.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure I shows a side elevation of our Improved pole.

page_text: JOHN W. JENKINS of Legge Lane Birmingham 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 purpose of my said invention is to produce an anti frictional bearing in a simple
and inexpensive manner. The top and bottom bearings are respectively fixed in cap
and carriage, which are connected at the back by a hinge or other suitable arrange-
ment, the top bearing rests on the shaft or spindle, the bottom carriage having a fixed
wrought iron stud or pin which passes through a slot in the top cap of the carriage,
regulating the pressure of the top hearing upon the shaft or spindle by a spring and
lock nuts, or in any other manner generally used for the regulation of bearings. The
bearing is so arranged on the shaft or spindle, that the front and back or lateral
motion is entirely dispensed with, and my bearings keep an equal pressure upon the
shaft or spindle until worn out effectually preventing the jar or motion caused by the
wear of the bearings in use in ordinary carriages.

I, JOHN JAMES LAWRENCE of 83 Saint John Street, West Smithfield, London, E.C.
Fender and Ash pan 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 :-
In the specification of my invention No. 12367 of 1886, I have described a novel
application of sheet iron or sheet steel namely for the mouldings or bases of fenders
and the like. My present invention consists in utilising the said sheet iron or sheet
steel mouldings to serve as tubes, pipes, conduits or channels to be used for structural,
industrial and other purposes. I mav mention for instance in connection with the
interior of buildings, to serve the two fold purposes or ornamentation and ventilation,
so also in connection with Telegraphy for enclosing the insulated wires and protecting
same from injury.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view of one form
of tube or conduit which may be employed for the purpose last mentioned, and Figure 2
a plan of same, on reference to which it will be seen that the open top of the sheet iron

I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the county of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention relates to truss cushions which are made like air cushions of
india rubber or similar material.
The cushions consist of a flat piece of india rubber around the outer edge of which
is fastened an air channel provided with a small tube for the filling of the air channel.
This tube may be closed either by a screw valve or merely by tying the tube up or in
any other convenient or desired manner.
The pad of the truss is placed in the hollow of the centre of these cushions so that
the cushions are situated between the body of the patient and the pad of the truss.
These cushions give the patient relief and the truss will be easier to wear, because the
cushions adjust themselves softly to the form of the body; the cushions can be readily
washed and cleaned.

I JOHN VAUGHAN-SHERRIN of 3 Codrington Road Ramsgate in the County of
Kent, Electrical 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 battery consists of a receiver A and set of cells B in combination forming a
cylinder as in drawing or any other shape, provided with an axis and mounted on
bearings or otherwise as shown at C and with a handle E. The bottom of the
receiver and top of the cells are connected by means of pipes F and can be opened
like an ordinary box with hinges or in other ways. The elements are carbon and
zine or any other metals or substances that cause an electrical action. The cells are
arranged as single or double fluid with or without porous cells or plates and are
hermetically sealed or closed fluid tight. The receiver A is partitioned off into
compartments or made in one continuous trough. The battery is charged by pouring
through the apertures G G into the receiver A any exciting fluid which then flows
through the pipes F into the cells and it is discharged by turning the battery upside
down the fluid running from the cells B through the pipes F into the receiver A
again charging can then be effected by a reverse movement of the handle E which
turns the cylinder half round and causes the receiver to take the top place the fluid
then runs back again into the cells. This operation can be repeated as often as
necessary the battery charged from the receiver and discharged into it again until
the exciting fluid is exhausted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claim is

Improvements in the Construction of Football Boots and Shoes.
I WILLIAM ROBERT WALSH of King's Norton, Birmingham in the county of
Warwick, Cashier do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:
I make my football boots and shoes with the toe part of the sole of indiarubber, or
other similar pliable elastic substance which will impel the ball quite as well as leather,
and should one player accidently kick another little harm will be done as the india-
rubber shoe or boot will not cause as much damage or pain as leather; in the upper
at the toe there may also be an indiarubber pad if required, or the cap of the toe part
may be of indiarubber.

Crossley Street, Halifax,
Agent for the Applicant.

in section).
Fig. 2 is an elevation of football boot with fixed rubber at the toe, extending to the
upper as well as solc.
Fig. 3 shows rubber toe piece on sole only.
Fig. 4 is a section of removeable toe piece detached.
A represents the football boot or shoe with the toe part B of indiarubber, or other
similar pliable elastic substance, fast or removeable, which will impel the ball quite as
well as leather, and should one player accidently kick another little harm will be
done, as the indiarubber toe of the shoe or boot will not cause as much damage or
pain as leather.
The indiarubber pad may only extend to the sole part, or it may extend to
the upper at the toe if required, or part only of the cap of the toe may be of india-
rubber.
The caps, toes, or kicking part may be either fast to the boot forming part of it,
or cemented on, or sold loose, and separate from the boots, so that special football
boots need not be bought, but the loose caps may be bought in sizes, to fit the ordinary
boot of the players, who can themselves put them on, preferably with cement.
To preserve the indiarubber сар, it may be covered with cloth, canvas, or leather.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it
understood that I do not confine myself to any particular shape of my toe pieces to
football boots, or shoes, nor to any particular manner of securing the same to the
ordinary boots and shoes, but I declare that what I claim is
The construction of, or application to football boots or shoes of indiarubber or other
elastic or yielding toe pieces, whether fast or removeable for the purposes described.

compact form as shewn in Fig. 1, wherein a semicircle or horseshoe H, shewn in
section in Fig. 2, receives the edge of the mouthpiece of the Telephone, which is cut
or recessed to a suitable shape to slide into the horseshoe, as shewn in Fig. 3. The
Telephone when placed on the base and within the horseshoe, presses down one or
more contact springs or switches S, either by means of the weight of the Telephone,
which acts also as a wedge, or by pressure applied by hand, preferably the former, as
being automatic and more reliable.
Instead of the semicircle or horseshoe we may employ equivalent projections or
clamps acting in the same way; Fig. 4 shews such an arrangement.

SASH-FASTENER SECURERS
Year: 1887

page_text: Date of Application, 10th Jan., 1887.
Specification Accepted, 1st Mar., 1887.
I EDWARD SAYERS of "Terringes" Tarring Road, Worthing in the County of
Sussex, Clerk to a Solicitor do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"SASH-FASTENER SECURERS " and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
:-
They are made of brass or steel wire, wound a few turns in the form of a perpendicular
helix, then carried horizontally for about an inch and formed into the shape of a heart or
harp, by bringing the end of the wire back, and twisting it round, forming one more turn
to the helix about three fourths of an inch of the wire at the commencement of the helix
being left, turned downwards, and made pointed. See Figure 1 in the accompanying
Drawing.
By driving the point of the wire into a window-sash, at the right hand and in front
of the old, or ordinary, sash-fastener, as at A Figure 2 in the accompanying drawing,
so that the heart or harp shape comes just above or below the catch B, Figure 2, and
by passing a screw through the helix into the sash, a spring catch is formed, which
prevents the arm of the sash-fastener being forced or drawnback, from the outside of
the window.
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 separate wire spring-catch, for the purpose of being fixed in front of the old or
ordinary Sash-fastener, whereby the arm of such fastener, when drawn to, is, at the
same time, secured, so that it cannot be pushed back without first drawing back the
wire spring-catch.
2. Ease with which the spring-catch is, from the inside of a window, drawn back
with the fingers of the hand that the arm of a Sash-fastener is pushed back with, and
at the same time.
3. Easiness of being attached to window sashes.
