York, Engineers and Tool Makers do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for APPARATUS TO BE ATTACHED TO THE HOLLOW SPINDLES OF LATHES FOR
HOLDING WORK TO BE OPERATED UPON and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
A The spindle to which our apparatus is attached.
B The wedge or inclined plane fitted into an opening in spindle A; As the
wedge B must move at right angles to spindle, one side is made straight, and the
opposite side taper, this taper side acting upon bush C will when forced forward
into spindle move bush C in a direction in a line with spindle A which is done by
tightening screw D, the bush C may be in any number of parts sufficient to fill up
space between wedge B and split conical bush E so that when screw D is tightened
and wedge B forced forward the conical split bush Ę is pressed tight up into a
solid taper bush F and thereby the work held secure.
The principle object of our invention is to obtain an appliance of sufficient
gripping power which can be worked by the operator with a small amount of force,
a light screw key only being required.
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
A wedge or inclined plane attached to a screw by which the wedge can be
moved forward into an opening in spindle, and by the forward movement cause
the conical split bushes to be forced into corresponding taper bush and thus secure
work to be operated upon, substantially as hercinbefore described.

AN IMPROVED MEANS OR METHOD OF COOLING THE BRICKWORK OF FURNACES FOR MELTING GLASS, AND OTHER MATERIALS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, FREDERICK FIRTH, of the Victoria Foundry. Dewsbury, in the County of
York. Ironfounder, Engineer, and Builder do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for AN IMPROVED MEANS OR METHOD OF COOLING THE BRICKWORK OF
FURNACES FOR MELTING GLASS, AND OTHER MATERIALS" and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement and accompanying sheet of Drawings.
The object of my Invention is to protect the brick work of glass melting Tanks,
and other furnaces from the intense heat, and consequent damage arising therefrom,
and this I accomplish by making use of the flues or hollow parts formed or made
in the brickwork of such tanks or furnaces, and in forcing through such flues or
openings a current of cold air.
Such being the nature of my Invention I will proceed to describe the same more
fully, and to illustrate by the accompanying sheet of Drawings the means I employ
for carrying out my Invention; Fig. 1 is longitudinal section of a Siemens
continuous glass melting tank, Fig. 2 plan view, and Fig. 3 cross section thereof,
shewing the application of my improved method of cooling, and keeping down the
temperature:-A are air flues running through the brickwork horizontally and
vertically, and B are wrought iron pipes employed for conveying cold air to the
said flues, such cold air being produced or generated by fan C driven by steam or
other motive power, D are pipes to allow the cold air to escape.
It will be seen that by keeping up a constant current of cold air, and forcing
same through the flues that the temperature of such tanks will be materially
diminished, whereby destruction of the brickwork by intense heat is reduced,
consequently the tank will be far more durable than those without the application
of cold air passing through the flues.

page_text: "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:"-
The application of cold air to the flues and openings of brickwork in connection
with tanks for melting glass, and other materials in manner substantially as herein
shewn and described.

When
My invention relates to table apparatus conveniently arranged for making coffee,
boiling water or heating a dish of food, as I will describe referring to the accom-
panying drawings. Fig 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 a plan of the apparatus.
A is a cylindrical boiler heated by a lamp placed under it. From the bottom of
the boiler there is an outlet pipe B with a stopcock, by opening which hot water
can be drawn from the boiler. There is another outlet and stop cock C at the
upper part of the boiler, but communicating with the water near the bottom by an
internal pipe D. The stop-cock C has through it a passage by which, when the
water passage is closed, steam can issue from the upper part of the boiler.
the cock is turned to let water from the pipe D pass, there is still a small passage
for steam to provide against excess of pressure.
A strainer E is screwed on to the
down branch of the stop-cock C. This strainer being charged with coffee, when
there is steam pressure in the boiler, as may be known by steam issuing by the
passage from the stopcock, the cock C can be opened and the boiling water caused
to pass through the coffee in the strainer E, issuing therefrom in condition for
drinking. In the recess above the boiler a plate F. containing food can be placed
to be heated or kept hot, being covered by the lid G. The boiler is made with a
screw plug H by which it can be charged. As seen in the plan, fig. 2, I place the
cocks B and C at different parts of the circumference, so that the former may not
be in the way of a coffee-pot or other receptacle placed to receive the coffee
delivered from the strainer E.

GUIDING VESSELS WITH DISABLED RUDDERS
Year: 1884

page_text: MASON GILL of 21 Commercial street in the Borough of Huddersfield in the
County of York, Dentist, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
GUIDING VESSELS WITH DISABLED RUDDERS, to be as follows:-
The Guider or leader acts when in use in a similar way that a rudder does when
a vessel is going backwards This may be accomplished by the bow of the vessel
being shaped for a guider to slide down either on or in the bow In case the vessel
has not been so prepared The Guider is made with wings hinged so that the forward
motion of the vessel in the water would hold them firmly against the sides of the
bow of the vessel when assisted by chains.

page_text: MASON GILL of 21 Commercial Street in the borough of Huddersfield in the
County of York, Dentist, I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
GUIDING VESSELS WITH DISABLED RUDDERS and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The guider is shaped somewhat like a rudder but not quite so broad in some
cases; it is hinged at the same place as two wings or flaps, the wings may have
sufficient catch or crook to hold on to the sides of the bow of the vessel; in use the
action of the water presses the wings to the sides of the vessel, so holding the
guider at the part where all three hinge together, allowing the guider just sufficient
play to alter the course of the vessel.
Jury rudders are liable to be washed away, by the forward motion of the vessel,
leaving, and the waves at the same time disarranging, them.
The principal novelty is in the inverse effect of the forward motion of the vessel,
upon the guider-and-wings when in use; that is when it is lowered over the bow
and held by the wings and attachments to its place, where it may be used or
turned from one side to the other, on the tiller principle; a strong shoulder at each
side at the joint with the wings, preventing the guider from turning too far right
or left, in stress of weather, also counteracting the tendency to turn right back, to
one or other side of the bow, in use.
In adjusting the guider-and-wings by lowering over the bow to its place; where
a securing chain is used, which is threaded through loops attached to, or holes
through, at or towards the extremity, of each of the wings; slackened between the
wings, so as to be swung or dropped over the bow first, so that it can go sufficiently
under the bow, or keel if necessary; the tightening of the chain after the guider-
and-wings being adjusted assists the crook-shape at the upper parts of the wings

IMPROVEMENTS IN HEATING SMOOTHING IRONS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, ROBERT BELL SANSON, of 87 Globe Road, London E. in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer. do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN HEATING SMOOTHING IRONS 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 heating of Smoothing Irons for Tailors, Hatters,
Laundries and others. Fig. 1. shews a section. Fig. 2, a plan. Fig. 3. an end
view of my apparatus. I construct a smoothing Iron, of the required shape, with
a hollow cast Iron chamber A, open at the back end, and having a handle B at
the top. Across the middle of the inside of the hollow chamber, I cast or otherwise
place an Iron shelf, or diaphragm C, having a slotted opening along its centre.
Under this shelf C, and attached by means of a Bolt C, or otherwise fixed, I place
a plate D, which I call the deflecting plate, and I cover the open front of the
chamber A with a plate E having a tube F, fixed therein. This tube acts as a
burner or guide to the flame, and is inclined by preference at an angle of 37° to
the bottom of A. Between the shelf C, and the top of A, and upon the side
of A I leave a ventilating opening G, protected by a half circular cover plate.
I introduce an atmospheric burner into the tube F of the end plate E, the air
& Gas passes down and is ignited at the bottom of F and the flame impinges upon
the bottom of the inside of A and is deflecter up against the plate D, and again is
deflected to the bottom of A, and afterwards passes round the deflecting plate D,
up through the slot in the shelf C, and out by the ventilating opening Gas shewn
by the arrows. marked on Fig. 1. and Fig. 3. By this peculiar arrangement,
I insure that the heat of the flame impinges upon the whole of the bottom of the
Iron A, where the greatest heat is required, at the same time, the deflecting
plate D, the shelf C, and the top of the Iron chamber A, all in turn are heated,
and assist to maintain the required heat, and to use the heat of the Gas and air
flame to the fullest extent.
i
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 chambered Smoothing Iron having a tube burner F, placed at a suitable angle
in combination with a deflecting plate D, cross plate C,.and air way G, for the
purpose, substantially as shewn and described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VERTICAL STEAM BOILERS
Year: 1884

page_text: DIECIFICATION.
We WILLIAM HORNSBY of Grantham Agricultural Engineer and JAMES CLAPHAM
of Grantham Boiler Maker, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN VERTICAL STEAM BOILERS, to be as follows :—
In constructing Vertical Boilers we corrugate the Internal Fire box vertically
and the top of the internal Fire Box is also suitably corrugated to fit the sides.
From corrugation to corrugation, Horizontal or Inclined crosstubes can be carried,
through which the water circulates; these can either be curved or carried straight
across.
In the drawing enclosed "A" shews the corrugations of the inside Fire box and
"B" shews the top of this Fire box corrugated round the outside to fit the
corrugations of the Fire box.
"C" are cross tubes going from one corrugation to
the other. "D" is the uptake which can be carried straight through to the top
of the Boiler or turned round to go out at the side. In some cases the chimney is
taken out below the inside Fire box top These corrugations in the inside Box
will be preferably made larger at the top than the bottom and the box aslant, that
is smaller in diameter at the top than the bottom.
Dated this 20th day of February 1884.

J. CLAPHAM.

page_text: WILLIAM HORNSBY and JAMES CLAPHAM both of Spittlegate Iron Works
Grantham in the County of Lincoln do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN VERTICAL STEAM BOILERS, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
The way we construct Vertical Internal Flued steam boilers is as follows, The
Internal flue or fire box (F) is corrugated or fluted vertically as shown at (A) the
lower end being made cylindrical for attaching to the bottom of the outer shell,
whilst the top end of the corrugated internal flue is left corrugated so as to attach
to the top of the inside fire box B which is made of a similar shape to suit it.
Cross-tubes (C) are attached to the projecting corrugations of the internal flue
when required.
The advantages obtained in such a construction are increased heating surface
and also strength in the flue to resist external pressure.
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-1st Constructing the inside fire box or flues of Vertical Boilers
with corrugations, the top of the internal fire box being made corrugated also
to fit the Hue-2nd Attaching cross-tubes to the projecting parts of the above
corrugated flues.

divided into three spaces. The water from the sink empties into the first space
five inches or thereby below the water line and flows out at six inches or thereby
from the top with a bend into the middle space from which it flows into the third
space with a bend at six inches or thereby from the bottom, then with a bend into
the drain. The water has thus to travel in the trap at least eight feet and is
thoroughly cooled before leaving the trap-By this process the grease is all
extracted.
