MANUFACTURE OF LOCK-WING ROOFING TILES
Year: 1884

page_text: We TпOMAS GRIMBLEBY of Barrow upon Humber, in the County of Lincoln,
Brick and Tile Manufacturer and HENRY GRIMBLEBY of Barrow upon Humber,
aforesaid, Brick-yard Manager do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for
THE MANUFACTURE OF LOCK-WING ROOFING TILES" to be as follows:-
16
In manufacturing roofing tiles, we make a raised bar upon the fillet side of the
tile, the top edge of this bar being angled inward thus forming a groove between
the angle of the bar and the surface of the tile. This prevents water being blown
over the fillet side, and does away with the necessity of pointing with mortar.
When the tiles are fitted on the roof the wing side of the tile abuts the fillet
side of the adjoining tile overlapping the raised bar, and the outer edge of the wing
being angled inwards so as to fit into the groove formed by the angled bar, locks
each tile to its fellow and prevents the tiles being blown from each other by
storm. The angled bar and wing may be formed with tiles of different shapes.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LASTS AND STANDS USED IN MANO- FACTURING AND REPAIRING BOOTS AND SHOES
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
We THOMAS HARTLEY and BERNARD HARTLEY both of Accrington in the
County of Lancaster Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature
of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN LASTS AND STANDS USED IN MANO-
FACTURING AND REPAIRING BOOTS AND SHOES" to be as follows:-
In repairing boots and shoes there has always been a very great difficulty in
inserting the last into the boot or shoe, and great damage has often resulted to the
latter by forcing the last into its place, besides which it has been almost impossible
to use a full sized last for repairing a boot or shoe in consequence of this difficulty,
and hence the appearance and form and fit of the boot or shoe have become
deteriorated in the process of repairing; and in the manufacture of boots and shoes
the same difficulty has arisen in removing the last therefrom after the boot or shoe
has been made.
.
Our Invention is designed to remedy these defects and will be readily understood
from the following description thereof, reference being had to the annexed sheet of
Drawings which forms part of this Specification and on which similar letters
indicate like parts in all the Figures.
Our Invention consists principally in the combination of a stand hereinafter⚫
described with metal lasts in 'two or three sections divided vertically or nearly so,
as shown in longitudinal sectional view Fig. 1 and underneath plan view at Fig.
(instead of the last being made in one solid piece as heretofore) so that the
pieces a, b, c may be inserted into the boot or shoe separately and removed
therefrom by means of an ordinary last hooke, e, by leaving out the section 6 the
same last may be used to fit different sizes of boot or shoe..
"
The joint between the sections is made in the form of an obtuse angle as shown
at Fig. 2. in order to prevent any lateral displacement of the pieces.
The sections b and c are provided with holes at ** (see detached views) to
allow of their being withdrawn by means of the hook e, e.
The stand f, f(see Fig. 3. side view) is made of metal preferably in two parts
and is provided with a peg or pin g, g fitting into a hole in the part a, a of the last,
and a projecting -shoulder or arm h, h at or near the top which supports the loose
sections 6, and c of the last firmly and efficiently as though the last were solid.
The projecting shoulder or arm h, h may be made solid as shown on the
drawing (which I prefer) or it may be made in the form of a prong or prongs.

page_text: Having now 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 combination with a metal last (made in two, three, or more vertical sections
as described) of a metal stand provided at or near the top with a projecting
shoulder or arm to support the loose sections of the last.

AN IMPROVED BELTING FOR DRIVING MACHINERY
Year: 1884

page_text: I FRANK REDDAWAY of the firm of Redlaway and Company of Pendleton in
the County of Lancaster, Belting Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of
the said invention for AN IMPROVED BELTING FOR DRIVING MACHINERY to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to the belting made of woven material and used in lieu of
leather belting in the transmission of rotatory motion. Such belting is ordinarily
made of cotton canvas or sail cloth and when so made stretches considerably in
use. Many attempts have been made to obviate this defect as for example by
using hard woven material or by employing powerful machinery to subject the
belt to a preliminary stretching. To reduce this tendency to stretch I make the
belting of a specially woven material having a cotton warp and a flax weft the
greater proportion of the weight of material being in the warp. I make the belt
from this material. by folding and by securing the folds with rows of longitudinal
stitching as when using ordinary cotton canvas. The belt so produced may be
treated with oil, paint or other ordinary or suitable preparation.

IMPROVEMENTS IN SIZING WORSTED AND OTHER WOOLLEN WARPS
Year: 1884

page_text: I FREDERICK MILLO of Pin Mill Brow Manchester in the County of Lancaster
Oil Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of iny invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN SIZING WORSTED AND OTHER WOOLLEN WARPS 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 sizing of worsted and other woollen warps and
consists principally in the use for such purpose of a solution of potato flour or
starch in boiling water, the said solution being made and used in the following
manner.
I take a cast iron boiler or other suitable vessel and I introduce therein a steam
pipe of about one inch in diameter, with an open end, but provided with a stop
cock. I partly fill the boiler or other vessel with water and turn on the steam
direct into the water. I then add the potato flour in the proportion of about one
pound of potato flour to thirty pounds of water.
This mixture must be kept constantly stirred until it boils, and after it has
boiled for about four or five minutes it is ready for use.
Whilst using this size in the dressing machine (commonly called in Yorkshire a
"Slasher") the size must be kept almost at a boiling temperature and this must be
dono not by means of a perforated pipe, but by means of a closed pipe, so that
none of the condensed steam can get into the size, which would dilute it and cause
irregular sizing, and care must also be taken that no size is left in the trough
overnight.
For some kinds of goods the proportions above given may be varied as will be
readily understood by the workman in charge of the sizing machine.
The substitution of a boiling solution of potato starch in the manner above
described for the animal size or glue usually employed for this purpose, will be
found to effect a great economy in cost, and also to dispense with the unpleasant
odour occasioned by the use of the animal size or glue.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I claim
is the substitution of a boiling solution of potato starch substantially in the
manner above described, for the animal size or glue usually employed for the sizing
of worsted and other woollen warps.

My Improvements consist in depositing upon the working surfaces of such
stereotypes a reguline film of Nickel or Cobalt by the well known galvanoplastic
or electro-plating process.
It is not necessary to deposit upon the printing surfaces of the Stereotypes more
than a very thin film sufficient to absolutely cover the underlying type metal, hence
the lines, letters, figures or other printing surface of the stereotype are not
appreciably enlarged or thickened.
Nickel and Cobalt are indifferent to the action of the metallic sulphides and
other substances or reagents usually found in coloured printing inks and Stereotypes
coated therewith may be employed in colour printing without risk to the delicacy
of tint in the ink employed.
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:
Coating or covering the printing surfaces of stereotypes with a film of Nickel
or of Cobalt substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

I, SAMUEL WOOTTON of No. 73, Myddelton Street Clerkenwell in the County of
Middlesex Jewellery Case Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for SPRING BARRELS FOR JEWELLERY CASES to be as follows:-
The spring, or snap catch of a Jewel Case, consists of a front or push spring & a
back spring, either spiral, or of bent steel, which returns the front spring to its
place. Previous to this invention, the back spring has been laid open in the
bottom of the case, & whether spiral or otherwise has been difficult to fix. & liable
to bend or break. The idea of the Inventor is to prevent this, by enclosing the
spiral spring in a Hollow tube or Barrel.
The Barrel is a piece of hollow wire, half an inch in length & one eighth of an
inch in diameter, closed at one end & having a bent spike at each extremity, which
when pressed into the bottom of the case, is fixed instantly & ready for use. i..

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION;
I SAMUEL WOOTTON of 72 & 73, Myddelton Street, Clerkenwell, in the County of
Middlesex, Jewellery Case Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for THE IMPROVEMENT OF JEWEL CASE SPRINGS and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
The spring of a Jewel Case consists of two parts; viz: The front or push spring
& the back spring, which returns the front spring to its position. The back
spring is usually a piece of bent steel which has to be let into the bottom of the
case, by cutting out a piece of the wood; or it may be a piece of spiral wire
which is pinned in the bottom of the Case, but which is uncovered. In each case
these are difficult to fix, 'and' are at any time liable. to break or get out of order.
The idea of the Inventor of the Spring Barrel, is to prevent this, by enclosing, the
spiral spring in a small-Barrel or hollow Tube called the Spring Barrel.
The Spring Barrel is a piece of metal in the form of a Tube, closed at one end
and open at the other, for the insertion
spring. It is half an inch in length
& one eighth of an inch in diameter:
in diameter; having a sharp point at each end bent
downwards, which "upon being pressed into the bottom of the case, is instantly
fixed, & the spring being enclosed in the Barrel, it cannot possibly break or get out
of order.

Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN IMPROVED
CONSTRUCTION OF CHIMNEY TOP to be as follows:-
-
The object of my invention is a new construction of chimney top to ensure a
good up draught and a total absence of down draught.
For the purpose of my invention 1 make the body of slightly larger diameter
than the neck and contract the upper part of the body by a rounded surface
leaving the central aperture at top of about the same diameter as that of the
neck. On the rounded portion I fit radial wings with broad side surfaces which
form air passages and support a cono cap ring above which may be placed a cone
shaped cap or cover but at a distance above to form a clearance between it and the
cone cap ring.

page_text: I DAVID WALKER of Riversdale Road, Highbury in the County of Middlesex,

CONSTRUCTION OF CHIMNEY TOP," and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of any invention is a new construction of chimney top to ensure a
good up draught and a total absence of down draught.
For the purpose of my invention which I illustrate in the annexed drawings
I make the body A of slightly larger diameter than the neck B and I construct
the upper part of the body at C with a rounded surface leaving the central
aperture at top of about the same diameter as that of the neck B. On the rounded
portion I fit radial wings D D with broad side surfaces which form air passages
and support a coned cap ring E above which may be placed a cone shaped cap or
cover but at a distance above to form a clearance between it and the cone cap
ring E.
In the drawings Figure 1 and 2 I show two different shapes of cone shaped
covers F; one (Figure 1) being brought to a point, and the other (Figure 2) nearly
flat, in other respects the two figures are identical.
By this invention in the case of down draughts, the smoke, if checked, is caused
to whirl itself within the enlarged head, which forms an expansion chamber and
by rarification with fresh ascending gases an upward current is induced aided by
the current of wind passing through between the wings D D in an upward direction
by the contracted surface at top of the body.
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
First. The chimney pot shown in the annexed drawings in which the expansion
chamber, the wings, the cone ring and the contracted upper portion of the
body, form the essential feature when in combination, as set forth.
Secondly. The contracted passage formed by the wings between the cone ring
and chamber top for producing an upward current by the wind's action as
set forth.

do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for JOINTING PIPES TOGETHER SO
THAT THE INVERTS ARE LEVEL to be as follows:-
The end of ordinary pipes to be cut to angle at the spigot end and the socketed
ends moulded to same angle.

page_text: I CHARLES FRANCIS NEWMAN Contractor Merton Road Lower Tooting Surrey
do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for AN IMPROVED PIPE JOINT"
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:-
This Invention relates to an improved form of socket joint for drain and other
pipes, whether made of earthenware or metal, which require to be laid in a
horizontal position.
It is customary in constructing such pipes to form the socket larger in diameter
internally than the plain end of the pipe which has to be inserted therein so as to
afford a space between the two surfaces for a packing of clay or other plastic
material and when laid horizontally the packing on the underside is compressed
and the concentricity of the pipes is destroyed causing a certain amount of
unevenness at every joint which obstructs the passage of solid material and not
only reduces the internal capacity of the drain, but causes noxious gases to arise
therefrom in consequence of the imperfect state of the joints.
. To remedy this defect I construct the pipes with what I term a mitre joint that
is to say the body of the socketted end of the pipe is countersunk and the hitherto
plain end is tapered off at the same angle so as to form a conical plug by which
means it is rendered much easier to lay the pipes concentric in the first instance
and the durability of the joint is greatly increased.
And in order that my Invention may be more fully understood I have hereto
annexed a Sheet of Drawings shewing longitudinal sectional and plan views of my
improved pipe also perspective sketches of longitudinal section and complete pipe
and lastly a longitudinal section shewing, the difference between the ordinary
socket joint and my improved mitre joint the latter being indicated by dotted
lines.
It will be evident to those acquainted with the subject that if the socketted ends
of the pipes are well bedded when first laid so as to avoid subsequent sinking it
will be almost impossible for the joints to get out of order as the whole of the
· downward pressure will be supported by the countersunk portion of the socket
instead of by the soft packing material as heretofore.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Invention
and shewn by Drawings in what manner the same is to be performed I declare
that what I claim is-
The construction of pipes having the socketted end countersunk and the plain
end tapered so as to form a mitre joint substantially as herein shewn and
described.

page_text: I WALLACE ALEXANDER BARTLETT, of the City of Washington, in the District
of Columbia and United States of America, Patent Solicitor, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN "PNEUMATIC CANNON " 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 cannon of the character more particularly described in
another application (N° 4355) of even date herewith, to which reference is made
for a more complete statement of the nature thereof.
Fig. 1, is a longitudinal section of modified form of pneumatic cannon with the
gun tube mounted on the flask, which supports the same.
Fig. 2, is a side elevation.
Fig. 3, is a section on line, y, Y.
Fig. 4, is a section on line, x, x.
Fig, 5, is a section on line, x, 2.
Fig. 6, is a section on line, s¹, s¹.
Figs. 7, and, 8, are portions of the strut.
Fig. 9, a view of the breech block detached and
Fig. 10, a section showing modified form of supporting brace.
The gun tube, 1', is made in sections, which sections are jointed by sleeves, 25,
and may be held in said sleeves by screw threads or by keys. The flask, 32, is
cylindrical, and is supported by trunnions, 21, on a band, 20, or otherwise suitably
arranged. The gun tube, 13, is supported above the flask, 33, by suitable saddles,
and where it projects in front of the flask is sustained by brace, 23, This brace
may be in sections bolted together as shown in Fig. 8, and is of such form in cross
section as to support the tube against bending. Many forms of angle plate are
suitable for the purpose. The brace, 22, may be supplied with screws or wedges, to
adjust the gun tube in a straight line, and is cut away at, 2º, to receive the
collars, 25.
A supply pipe, 43, leads from the flask, 33, to the breech of the gun, and this
pipe may be supported by brace, 27. A valve at, 22, serves to close this pipe in
case the operating valve, 23, should need repair or lubrication. The breech may
be opened or closed by a sliding breech at, 24, which breech piece has a passage
way leading from the supply pipe to the gun tube.

page_text: The gun tube is held to the flask by collar, 20, or in other suitable manner, and
the tube and flask are trained on any suitable carriage such as are used with
heavy guns.
The tube and flask moving together, and always retaining approximately the
same relative position.
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 pneumatic or similar cannon supported by and secured to its flask, and
trunnions or similar mechanism by which the whole may be trained.
2. A pneumatic or similar cannon supported by its flask and made adjustable
relatively thereto by suitable mechanism.
3. A pneumatic or similar cannon supported by its flask, and braces or strats by
which the gun tube is further sustained.
