An Improved Spinner for Fishing Tackle..
I PETER DUNCAN MALLOCH, of 209 High Street, in the City and County of
Perth, North Britain, Fishing Tackle Maker and Naturalist, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an invisible spinner which can be adapted to all kinds
of artificial and natural minnows. This new spinner is made the same as any other
in shape but instead of being made of metal, as all others heretofore have been,
I make it of transparent xyolinite which is invisible in the water, the advantage
of the spinner being transparent being that it does not scare the fish, as the metal
spinners do. The spinner can be made by itself and put on to all kinds of
phantons and minnows, or it can be made all in one piece with a spear attached
to the spinuer and natural bait put on to it. Xyolinite being much lighter than
metal, spins much better; another advantage is that the gut upon which the
hooks are dressed, does not get cut on the edge of the spinner as it does on
metal spinners.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Coal and Coke Sacks
and Bags.
I THOMAS JAMES POUPARD of 134 Tooley Street, Southwark, Surrey,.
Weighing Machine Maker, 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 :-
Coal sacks and bags, as hitherto made, are sewn along the edges by an over-
seaming stitch, with tarred yarn or twine.
The strands soon get chafed, ravel out, and are cut through or rot from the wet,.
and the sack then bursts open at the seam. When the stitches are too close
together, the sack is liable to burst at the line of stitches.
Now the object of this invention is to obviate the disadvantages which arise.
from sewing in the ordinary way, and to this end I employ metal fastenings of any
suitable kind to secure the edges of the sack material. These fastenings may be
hollow or solid rivets, staples, clips, eyelets, or of other form, and may be used.
separately or combined.
In the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated my invention with various forms
of fastening.
Thus, in Figs. 1, I have shewn a portion of a coal sack, the edges being secured
mainly with hollow rivets A. I prefer to insert these rivets alternately from
opposite sides. The turnover at the top of the sack may be secured by stitching.
in the ordinary way, as may also be the top of the seams, as shewn.
In Figs. 2, 1 have shown the adaptation of staples B and eyelets C.
In Figs. 3, a combination of eyelets C and sewing with wire D is illustrated.
In Figs. 4, a wire staple E round the selvage is shown, while at
Figs. 5, the selvages are secured by a metal clip F, such as is used for securing
the angles of paper boxes.
These modes of fastening are shown merely by way of example, as I do not wish
to confine myself to any particular fastening, or any particular combination of
fastenings, as these may be varied to a considerable extent.
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 the manufacture of coal and coke sacks or bags, the use of metal fastenings
for securing together the selvages or edges, and for other purposes, as set forth.
2. The manufacture of coal and coke sacks and bags substantially as herein.
shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Warp Dressing Machines.
I, JOSEF GRÖGER, Master Weaver, of Södertelje near Stockholm in the
Kingdom of Sweden 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 warp dressing machines hitherto employed, slays have without exception.
been in use, the teeth of which are arranged in a rectangular frame alongside of
each other and parallel to its short sides.
These slays are arranged in before and behind the dressing-rollers and are
intended to bring up the warp-threads parallel to each other and to avoid their
getting entangled.
In the slays mentioned above, it is not possible to dress warps of different.
breadths behind one another, but either if a narrow warp. has been dressed and one
of a greater breadth is to be operated upon, the new threads necessary for the
greater breadth must be introduced into the reed at its two sides, or in case the
opposite takes place, the superfluous threads must be cut off.
These disadvantages are avoided by the new apparatus.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in perspective a part of a
dressing machine, from which the arrangement of the apparatus may be seen,
Fig. 2 represents the latter in a front view.
The slay A consists (Fig. 2) of a rectangular frame, in which the teeth ao a₁ a, etc..
are arranged, this being done in such a manner, that the teeth, which are arranged
at equal distances (a1 a1, az az etc.) to the right and left, from the middle tooth ao,
which is parallel to the short sides bb of the frame, diverge uniformly as shown in
the drawing.
One of the slays arranged in this manner is fixed movably in guides e e₁ in front.
of (A₁) and one (A2) behind the dressing cylinder cc, of the dressing machine-
drawn in Fig. 2, in which d d₁ d, represent the steam cylinder for drying the
dressed warps.
According to the breadth of the warp to be dressed, the slays are raised or-
lowered more or less and in case of the breadth increasing they are fastened in the
guides, so that the warp-threads according to the increasing divergency of the
reeds lie at greater intervals from each other, while in case the breadth of the warp-
decreases they are correspondingly lowered.
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 1.
claim is :
Improvement in warp dressing machines, distinguished by the arrangement of
one slay before and one behind the dressing cylinder, the separate teeth of the.
slays as seen from the centre tooth being put in so as to diverge uniformly towards.
both sides of the slay.

Improvements in Metallic Roofing Tiles or Covers.
A communication by FRIEDRICH KOCH and THEODOR KOCH, both of Hall,
Würtemberg, in the Empire of Germany, Locksmiths.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn 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 disadvantages of metallic roof coverings or tiles is that they allow cold or
heat too easily to penetrate through them, and that rain falling on them causes an
undesirable noise, so that this roofing material is unsuitable for many purposes.
In order to remove these disadvantages, the suitably shaped metallic roofing tile A
forming the object of this invention and which is shown in Figures 1 to 4 of the
accompanying drawing, is provided on its inner side with a layer or lining B of
non-metallic, insulating material which is a poor conductor of heat. The fastening
of this layer to the metallic tile is brought about according to the kind of
insulating material employed, whether for instance this be gypsum, cement,
cellulose, woody fibre, hard wood or like material, by pouring or casting, ramming
or forcing in, or the like, but always in such a way that the metallic tile A and the
lining B together form one tile. The more complete is the connection between
the metallic cover or tile and the lining, the better will be deadened the metallic
sound which is caused by the rain falling thereon, and the more suitable will the
article be as a protection against heat or cold.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is-
The improvement in metallic roofing tiles, consisting in providing the same on
their inner surface with a layer of any suitable non-metallic and poor heat-
conducting insulating material, such layer being combined with the metallic cover
or tile as thoroughly as possible by casting, ramming, compressing or the like,
substantially as described.

I, WALTER CROSS, of 62 High Street, Bloomsbury, in the County of London,
Jeweller and Watchmaker, 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 watches wherein the balance wheel is mounted to rotate outside the adjacent
movement plate, the balance wheel, and its pivot are frequently damaged when
setting the regulating lever or pointer by reason of the device used to move the
said lever or pointer slipping to one side and striking the balance wheel, and this
invention has for object to obviate this disadvantage, for which purpose I provide
a guard constructed and arranged as I will now proceed to describe with reference
to the accompanying drawings, wherein
Fig. 1 is an outside view of the movement plate of a watch of the kind referred
to having a guard according to this invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 shows the guard in side elevation to a larger scale, the movement plate to
which it is fixed being in section.
1 is the movement plate carrying the cock 2 for supporting the outer end 3 of
the pivot of the balance wheel 4 which is arranged outside the said plate as shown,
and 5 is the regulating lever or pointer connected with the hair spring 6 and
working over a scale 7 for regulating the watch, these parts all constructed and
arranged in the ordinary way. 8 is a guard for protecting the balance wheel
according to this invention. It consists, in the example shown, of a strip of sheet.
metal bent to a curved segmental shape and provided with lugs 8 by which it can
be readily secured to the movement plate i so as to be at right angles to this
plate and concentric with the balance wheel 4, a notch 8b being formed in its
underside to form with the said plate, a slot through which the regulating lever or
pointer 5 extends and in which such lever or pointer can be moved in a circular
direction. As will be seen, the arrangement of the guard is such that if, when
regulating the watch, the device used to move the regulating lever or arm 5 should
slip sideways towards the balance wheel, it will abut against the guard 8 and so
be prevented from injuring the balance wheel. If desired the guard may be
provided on its outer convex side with a scale to take the place of or in addition to
the scale 7. The guard instead of being curved, may be of other form, for
example straight.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A watch of the kind herein referred to constructed with a guard arranged to.
protect the balance wheel substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to
the drawings annexed.

The abovementioned improvements are for an easier and safer method of com-
munication between passengers by cabs and carriages and the drivers thereof, also
between conductors and passengers of railway trains and conductors and drivers of
railway trains, tram cars and omnibusses, by the adaptation of flexible, or fixed
and flexible speaking tubes to the said vehicles, to be attached and fitted in such
position so as to obviate the necessity of diverting the attention of the driver from
his duties and to enable him, whilst attending to his duties, to receive com-
munication from, and hold communication with the said passengers and conductors.
Figures 1. and 3. of the drawing hereunto annexed give illustrations of the
method of adapting the flexible speaking tubes to utility in an ordinary road
carriage and a handsome cab, respectively.
Figures 2. and 4., respectively, shew enlarged part sections of the said road
carriage and handsome cab, with the flexible speaking tubes fitted and ready

Improvements in Pince-nez or Folders.
I MARGARET ELLEN TURNER, of Bickham, Diptford, Ivy Bridge, Lady 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 Pince-nez or Folders and has for its
object to provide means for counter-acting the tendency of such pince-nez or folders
to become crooked or out of alignment after they have been folded up for a short
time, and thereby to render them easier and more comfortable of adjustment upon
the nose of the wearer. In order that the said invention may be the more readily
understood, I have shewn same upon the accompanying sheet of illustrative
drawings, wherein :
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a pair of pince-nez or folders with my invention
applied thereto.
Fig. 2 being an end view thereof, whilst
Fig. 3 is a plan.
pre-
Referring to the accompanying drawings, a is a pair of pince-nez or folders,
similar in construction to the ordinary ones hitherto used, with the exception that
instead of employing only one projecting pin a' as formerly was the case,
ferably provide an additional pin A projecting from the frame 2 of the pince-nez
or folders, upon the opposite side of the same to that from which the ordinary piu a'
projects, as clearly shown, or I may employ any other suitable catch arrangement
that will fulfill the same purpose.
When the ordinary forms of pince-nez or folders are folded up when not in actual
use, the spring c in a very short time becomes crooked or displaced out of alignment,
so that the glasses will not sit comfortably and truly upon the nose of the wearer,
but have a decided tendency one to be higher upon the bridge of the nose, than the
other, as is well known.
Now by my present invention when the glasses have been folded together and
held in that position by means of the pin a' engaging with the catch d, such glasses
can be unfolded and the pin A then employed to hold them together when it is
desired to retain them in their folded position thus counter-acting any tendency of
the spring c to become bent or the ends to get out of alignment one with another.
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 :-
The improvements in pince-nez or folders, consisting in providing the frames of
such with an additional catch-pin projecting at a suitable angle from the frames
upon the opposite side to that upon which the ordinary catch-pin is situated,
substantially as and for the purpose, hereinbefore described, and shewn by the
drawings.

A Novel Construction of Chimney or Ventilator Top.
I JOHN CORDNER of 84 Northbourne Street, Gateshead, County of Durham,
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:―
This invention has for object the construction of chimney or ventilator top in a
novel manner in order to induce updraught and prevent downdraught in chimneys
and ventilators.
The invention consists of a base tube on which by suitable wings or distancing
ibs other or shorter tubes are carried in superposed order with the necessary gaps
or passages between, to lead the smoke or vapour into a channel surrounded by a
screen or exterior tube, this being surmounted by a cap with inclined upper surface,
and having a central aperture for action in conjunction with an inner cap, also
inclined on the upper surface, for deflecting the wind beating thereon through
passages at the upper part or above the outer screen or exterior tube.
The lower end of the exterior tube is below the upper portion of the base tube
so that up currents of air are directed upwardly across passages formed between
the inner tubes thereby creating a slight vacuum in the chimney drawing the
smoke and vapour from it.
The chimney or ventilator top may be of the usual plastic material or of
metal.
The construction of my improved chimney or ventilator top is clearly represented
in the annexed drawings.
Figure 1, vertical section of plastic compound or pot ware material.
Figure 2, horizontal section on the line a a, of Figure 1.
Figure 3, is a vertical section of say a metal top.
The arrows show the direction the wind and smoke take for effecting the object
I have in view and as before explained.
A is the base tube with the usual shoulder B or "flats" (, for setting in
brickwork.
D: D. D. are wings or distancing ribs.
E is a plain ring which can be moulded or secured to the wings, or may be of
loose segments and be cemented into the wings or ribs D or if of metal can be
soldered in place.
F is a cap also similarly secured, said cap having
a conical or inclined upper,
surface as a shield to the rain and a deflector of the wind. G is an exterior tube or
screen to the passages H. J. formed between the upper end of the base tube A the
ring E and cap F.
K is a cover with a central opening and having the upper surface inclined from
the centre for acting as a deflector of the wind in conjunction with the cap F.
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 I
claim is:
The construction and particular arrangement of base tube A, ring E, cap F,

page_text: exterior tube G and cover K, the whole being combined in the manner and for the
purposes described.

Improvements in Washers for Locking Nuts on Bolts.
I, JAMES WALSH, Junior, of 444 North Fifth Street, in the City of
Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, Plumber, 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 the construction of washers for locking nuts upon bolts
as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. is a section illustrating the locking device as it appears before the nut is
tightened;
Fig. 2 is a similar view shewing the nut tightened and locked.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2 ;
Fig. 4 is a plan showing the nut locked to the washer.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the locking washer;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a tool employed and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a special form of nut locking finger.
a is a concavo-convex washer of steel or other elastic metal having a central
opening made with inwardly projecting ratchet teeth facing in reverse directions
on the opposite sides, so as to prevent the washer from turning with the nut in the
direction in which the nut would turn in loosening.
The washer slips freely over the bolt when it is in the dished form shewn in
Fig. 1, but when the nut is screwed down, as shewn in Fig. 2, the flattening of the
washer causes the teeth to bite into the bolt with a sufficient force to prevent the
washer from turning on the bolt.
The washer a is made with opposite projecting fingers band d which are of soft
temper, so that they can be bent up against the face of the nut as shewn at b in
Figs. 2 and 3, or on each side of an angle of the nut as shewn in Fig. 4.
Thus a
square nut can be locked at each one eighth of a turn.
For turning down or raising the fingers b and d of the washer, I use a tool such
as is shown in Fig. 6, having projecting jaws f for engagement with the fingers b
and d. The other end of the tool is preferably provided with a tapered foot g
which after the removal of the nut can be pushed under the washer and moved
around the bolt so as to raise the washer.
As shewn in Fig. 7 a locking finger instead of being part of the washer, may
be hinged on a pin i projecting from the washer and inay have a projecting
tongue & serving as a spring to retain the finger in locking position.
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 :-
1. A nut lock consisting of a dished washer having one or more nut locking
fingers and a central serrated hole, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The modified nut lock consisting of a dished washer having a central
serrated hole and a nut locking finger hinged to the washer, substantially as
specified.

Improvements in Baths.
Year: 1894

COMPLETE SI DUIT ICATION.
Improvements in Baths.
I, GEORG SCHÖN, Workmaster, of 68, Quelle, Brackwede, in the Province of
Westfalia and Kingdom of Prussia 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 improvement in baths consists in their being made in contrast with those
hitherto known, which are pressed out of one piece and for the manufacture of
which huge presses are necessary-of two parts each pressed out of one piece, the
one being the upper or marginal part in the shape of an oblong ring, while the
other is the lower part or bottom and has the appearance of a flat, oval dish.
These two parts are each separately pressed from one piece and then joined together
by means of riveting, rabbeting, soldering or any other suitable means.
Figure 3 of the drawing represents a bath, which consists of two parts, an
upper part A and a lower one B, joined together at a.
In baths supplied with heating apparatus the lower part of the bath is
arranged for the reception of the fire-box, which in this case is also pressed out
of one piece.
The different parts or walls of a bath constructed in such a manner may be
given a greater amount of resistance and stiffness to ensure them against knocks
and bends, without making use of special stiffening parts of metal or wood.
This refers especially to the bottom which always has to bear the weight of the
person sitting or lying in it and has therefore hitherto generally been strengthened
by the addition of a wooden bottom.
The bottom of the bath which is pressed out of one or two parts is now, as
shewn in the Figures 1 and 2, arched inwards, preferably in a manner which is
adapted to the shape of the human body in a sitting position.
The surface of the bottom, which is made in this manner and allows of the water
running off very easily, may be provided with pressed-in stiffening-rolls a a Figs. 1
and 2 in order to give it greater rigidity.
In the same manner the sides of the bathing-tube, as shewn in the Figure 1,
may be fitted with straight or crooked and corrugated stiffening-rolls a a either
vertical, horizontal or oblique or crossing each other or arranged otherwise in
groups and figures; or the upper rim of the bath may be pressed into a roll b
Fig. 1 in order to increase the rigidity.
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. Baths consisting of two parts, an upper and a lower one, each being pressed
out of one piece and joined together by means of riveting, rabbeting, soldering
and the like.
2. In the baths distinguished under 1, the bottom arched by pressing.
3. The stiffening rolls a a pressed-in in the bottom or sides.
4. The pressed-on marginal roll b.
