Photographic Purpose.
WILLIAM WATSON 224 Church Street Islington London Photographic Camera
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 :-
These improvements consist in forming the Hinge or Joint upon which the "Back"
of slide falls over in such a manner as to perfectly exclude all light when the back is
closed.
I construct the joint with a rebate about alike in size on the abutting portions of
the shutter. I place these together in such a manner as they form together a con-
tinuous groove (and not after the manner in which they are ordinarily put together so
that the projection of the one part fits into the recess of the other part.) Into this
groove I fit a continuous piece of any suitable material such as hard wood or vulcanite
fibre or such like material, the joints are then covered with Jane or similar material
after the ordinary manner.
In order that my improvements may be the more fully understood I will now
proceed to describe the figures on the sheet of drawings which were lodged with my
application for a Provisional Protection on the 12th day of October 1888, in which I
have illustrated my said improvements by two drawings respectively shewing the
hinge open, and shut in which the piece marked A is the piece herein before referied
to as being placed in the rebated portion of the abutting edges of the Shutter..
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from the
principle thereof 1 do not restrict myself to materials, dimensions, .or the precise
placement of the piece marked A or of the rebates to receive the same.
Having now fully 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 piece marked A fixed (as shewn in the drawings hereinbefore referred to) in
the hinged joint of the Shutter of a dark slide for photographic purposes, described in
the foregoing specification.

page_text: I, FRANCISCO DEL RIEGO, of 105 Regent Street W. London, in the County of
Middlesex, Watch 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 :-
Consists of an arrangement by which the sides, bottom, and lid if any, of wood,
metal or other Boxes (applicable also to furniture) can be joined together to avoid
pilfering the contents without detection, and specially for the convenience and economy
in transit and storage when empty and taken to pieces.
The accompanying Drawing shows the arrangement, viz.:―
A represents the bottom of the box.
B. C. two of the sides.
D the Bolts and slides to join the parts together.
E the Bolts and eyes to fasten the bottom, when put together.
If the Box has a lid, it can be fastened or locked similar to the bottom, or either of
these, or both can be hinged to the Box, and the bottom of the box, or lid, or both,
can be bolted to the Box as aforesaid and shown in the drawing herewith attached.
The Bolts D., may be simply screws driven into the wood; and the Slides D., are
metal plates, similar in shape to the ordinary well known key-hole plates on doors,
but should be sunk and screwed into the wood. The heads of the screws (Bolts) D.,
are passed through the large round opening of the Metal plate (Slide) D. and then
slid towards the narrow end of the slot to prevent them coming off the metal plate.
The Bolts E. are simply pins driven into the wood, or side of the box, bolting same
to the metal plate (Eye) E. fixed to the bottom of the box, to prevent the latter
sliding off.
The number of Bolts and Slides D., and the Bolts and Eyes E, can be encreased
or redused in number, as circumstances may require.

page_text: The same system as aforesaid, is applied in the manufacture of Furniture to join
together the different parts, instead of dove-tailing, screwing or nailing, such as
drawers, cupboards, wardrobes, tables and such like.-By this system, the different
pieces of furniture can be joined together or separated at pleasure.
Having particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be applied, I declare that what I claim is :-
The arrangement of Bolts and Slides D., and Bolts and Eyes E., shown in the
accompanying plan, as applied for joining together the different parts of Boxes, as
well as the different parts of Furniture, as herefore mentioned.

I, ADOLF WILHELM FRANZ GEORG LINNENBRÜGGE, of Graskeller, Hamburg, in
the Empire of Germany, 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:
This invention relates to the propelling and steering of ships, boats and other
vessels, and the object of the invention is to produce a simple and effective reaction
propeller by the combination of a centrifugal pump with a revolvable delivery pipe of
simple curve terminating horizontally in the water and capable of being directed at
any desired angle to the central line of the vessel for the combined steering and pro-
pelling thereof, the pump and delivery pipe being so arranged that the entrance of the
latter lies in the line of delivery from the pump the water passing from the pump
into the delivery pipe without change of direction so that but one change of direction
is given to the water, whereas heretofore such propellers were so constructed that a
double change of direction was given to the water between the pump and the delivery
pipe. The water delivered for the propelling of the vessel is therefore subject to less
loss of force from friction and the construction is simplified.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the after part of a vessel provided with
the improved propeller.
Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.
K represents a centrifugal pump of usual construction m being the discharge pipe
thereof. The pump is so placed that the discharge pipe is directed vertically down-
ward. Below the latter and jointed revolvable thereto is the simple elbow pipe A
the discharge end r of which is directed horizontally under the surface of the water,
the pipe A passes through a stuffing box in the shell of the vessel and is made
revolvable by a suitable gear for instance spur teeth i around the pipe A geared with
spur wheel rotated by the tiller.

page_text: The water discharged propels and steers the vessel according to the direction in
which the orifice is pointed-There being however only one change of direction
given to the water between the pump and the orifice.
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 reaction propellers the combination with a centrifugal pump having vertical
delivery pipe m, of elbow pipe A connected to said delivery pipe and revolvable upon
the axis thereof, and having horizontally directed discharge orifice for the purpose set
forth.

Gentleman, 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 to make an odourless, strong, and lasting mucilage.
For this purpose I take farina or starch and, before or after maceration, dry it on
trays or otherwise, and afterwards add sufficient acid to convert the farina or starch
into a gummy or mucilaginous substance. I then, after neutralizing any excess of
acid, dilute with water and add sufficient glycerino to obtain the desired softness or
consistency. In some cases, instead of glycerine, I add to the mixture an alkali,
such as chloride of calcium or chloride of magnesium which serves to thicken it.
Or the alkalı may be added as well as the glycerine
The mucilage obtained from the agents, and prepared as, described is admirably
suited for use in the apparatus for which I applied for Letters Patent on the
28th March last, No 4743, for not only is it strong, and without objectionable odour,
but a small quantity serves to cover a large surface, and is easily spread by my
rubber spreader
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
1 claim is.
Adhesive mucilage made from farina or a starchy substance by treating the same
with acid, subsequently neutralizing the acid, and adding glycerine, substantially as
herein described.

page_text: I, PHILIPP SAMHAMMER, of 2, Butler Street, Milton Street, in the City of London,
Doll 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 relates to improvements in the construction of dolls particularly of
that kind known as rag-dolls. Such dolls of the cheaper kind usually have a stuffed
head in one with the body, upon which a wax or other face is applied, and more
expensive kinds of dolls have the entire head of wax or porcelain, made separate from
the body and affixed thereon. It is only in the latter class of dolls having hollow
heads made separate from the body, that the motion of opening and closing the eyes
automatically by a change in the position of the doll, has heretofore been practicable,
and the heads of such dolls are liable to become easily detached from the body.
My Invention has for its principal object to enable the movable eyes to be applied
to dolls of the cheaper and stronger kind, so as to combine the durability and strength
of the one with the superior effect of the other.
To this end, the head and neck a of the doll are made hollow, as seen in the
accompanying drawings, and are formed of a flattened cardboard tube or casing
fitting at the lower end on the body portion and attached thereto by being enclosed
in the same covering fabric. This hollow casing is stuffed at top to form the crown
of the head, and has an aperture 1 at front over which is placed a face c having
movable eyes operated as usual by a weighted lever which is received in the
hollow casing forming the head. The lips of the face are parted and disclose
glass teeth fixed in the mouth which give the face a life-like appearance.
The face is glued in place, and the junction thereof with the upper and side
portions of the head is effectually concealed by a flax wig fitting on the head and
forehead and having a fringe descending over the latter, with curls at the sides.
The
The body of the doll is also constructed of a cardboard casing within which is
contained a bellows fitted with a reed or squeaker and a valve mechanically controlled
or operated, whereby cries and sounds in imitation of spoken words are emitted by
1

page_text: the operation of the bellows. The arms are attached to the upper part of the body
portion. The legs and fect of the doll are stuffed in the usual way, but are covered
with real knitted hose and shod with buckled shoes, whereby the appearance of the doll
is much enhanced.
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 :-

The Top is similar in construction to the ordinary Whiptop being made from wood 5
or other suitable material and by preference I construct the upper part of the Top with
a flat head which overhangs the other part when in position for spinning; that portion
of the head which overhangs as aforesaid I make about a quarter-of an-inch thick and.
its diameter is about equal to the height of the Top. Upon this head and in the centre
part thereof attach a short strip of metal or other suitable material, the two blades of 1
which are twisted into the shape of a small screw propellor. This fan or propellor acts
on the air when the Top is spun and causes the Top to rise from the ground.
The annexed Drawing shews a side view of the Top. "A" is the body and "B" is
the fan or propellor.
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 construction of a fan or propellor in the centre and upon the upper surface of a
whiptop and the overbanging of the said npper surface so that when lying down the
point and head only of the Top touches the ground substantially as hereinbefore
described and set forth.

page_text: I. HENRY EDWARD LOMAS, of 17 York road, Lambeth, in the County of Surrey,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is to manufacture a simple, cheap, and effective form of
cord holder, for securing the cords of blinds, maps, fanlights and analogous articles.
One method of carrying out my invention consists in bending a plate of metal into
the form of a semicircle, with a flange on each side. I then cut a tapered slot in the
lower part of the semicircular bend. The flanges are screwed to the window frame,
and the blind or other cord is passed through the holder. The cord is made secure,
and the blind thereby held in position, by nierely letting the cord pass outwards through
the tapered slot, in which it immediately becomes jammed.
My improved cord holder may be manufactured in many other forms, and in cast
or wrought metal, wire, wood, vulcanite, or other suitable material, and the form of
the space for the passage of the cord may also be very much varied.

I, GEORGE THEOPHILUS WEBSTER of 12 Great Union Street, Drypool, Hull,
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 stateinent, reference being also had to the accompanying drawing:
--
My invention has for its object the production of a mitre planing machine which,
whilst being simple in construction, shall be thoroughly efficient and also economical
in working.
In carrying out my invention I provide a case A preferably of cast or wrought
iron having one end a cut to an angle of 45 degrees, upon which angular part are
bolted two slides or guides 6 b. Within said guides or slides bb works a wood or
metal plane B of suitable construction pivoted centrally by means of a pin c to the
forked end c¹ of a connecting rod C; the other end of said rod C being connected to
a crank D forming part of a multiplying gearing.
Below the bench or standard E to which the case A above referred to is fixed, is
bolted or otherwise secured a short horizontal shaft or spindle F upon which works
loosely a grooved wheel d d which, by means of a suitable band e imparts motion to
a smaller grooved pulley or wheel G keyed to the overhead spindle or shaft H to
which the crank D before mentioned is attached.
Upon turning the actuating wheel & working loosely upon the shaft F the crank D
by means of the band e is rotated, imparting to the connecting rod C and thereby to
the plane B a thrusting and withdrawing motion.
If desired, the appliance may be actuated by any other than hand power.
From the foregoing it will readily be seen that on the insertion of a piece or of
pieces of wood into the case A and pressing the same against the inclined plane, the
incline of the "mitre" would be the same in all cases, thus ensuring a more perfect
and reliable joint than is obtainable with existing modes of cutting mitres.
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 :-
First The improved mitre planing machine substantially as herein described and
shown in the accompanying drawing.

page_text: Second-The adaptation to a mitre planing machine of a case A having one end
inclined and provided with guides 6 substantially as herein set forth.
Third-In a mitre planing machine as herein described the employment of a
plane B working in the guides 6 of the case A and pivoted centrally to a connecting
rod substantially as herein set forth and shown.

page_text: We JAMES CLYNE, Engineering Factor, 3 Hadden Street and JAMES MITCHELL
21 Prospect Terrace both in Aberdeen do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
This Improvement consists in operating a Polishing Machine of the usual construction
having an arm with an Elbow joint mounted on a vertical Pillar. This Pillar or
Column has the upper part turned to a suitable diameter and on this the arm carrying
the Polishing Spindle of the machine is attached in such a manner as to enable it to
swing round the Pillar and operate on work placed at any part of the circumference.
On the Pillar is placed a rack and pinion similar to that used in a Vertical Boring
Machine or other suitable apparatus to enable the Polishing Arm to be adjusted to the
work. Or the Machine can be operated without this apparatus. The Driven Pulley is
fixed to a shaft revolving in a Bush inside the Pillar. This shaft may or may not have
a bearing above the pillar, the power is transmitted to the arm from this shaft.
An apparatus is fixed above the Swinging Arm for the purpose of moving the
Polishing Spindle in straight lines over the work.

JAMES CLYNE Engineering Factor 20 Adelphi Aberdeen and JAMES MITCHELL
Engineer 21 Prospect Terrace, Aberdeen do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:--
This Invention consists in an Improved method of operating a Radial Polishing i
Machine having the usually constructed double jointed or elbow jointed arm. This arm,
which carries the spindle to which the polishing rings are attached, we hang on a
vertical Pillar or standard in such a manner that it can perform work on every side of
the Pillar and this we effect in the manner following.
The upper part of the Pillar A is turned to a suitable diameter on which the Radial
arm B. turns, the head of the Pillar is provided with fast and loose pulleys C. C. which
carry the motion to the Bevel Wheels D. These pulleys may be on the head of the
Pillar or by choice may be at the end of the shaft E carrying one of the Bevel Wheels.
The sleeve F revolves outside the Pillar and keyed on to this sleeve is a pulley G which
imparts the power to the middle spindle on the arm and so on to the polishing spindle.
By this arrangement the polishing arm may be swung round the pillar so that work
can be carried on at any part of the Radius of the Arm.
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
The arrangement herein before described by which this double jointed Polishing Arm is
hung upon a Pillar and operated by head gearing in such a manner that work can be
performed on any part of the Radius of the Arm.

page_text: I, EMERIC RADVANYI of Herbst-Gasse No. 16 Budapest, in the Empire of Austria-
Hungary 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 :-
This invention relates to a new or improved siphon head and its characteristic
feature is that the liquid does not come in contact with any metallic parts.
Those constituents of the improved siphon head, which are in contact with the liquid
when the siphon is actuated as well as when closed, are made from non-metallic
material while these mostly fragile parts are externally protected by means of a metal
covering or mantle.
Refering to the accompanying drawing, o is the siphon head containing the bell-
shaped piece & serving to receive the valve.
This piece band the discharge tube made of one piece therewith consist of ceramic
or other suitable material. Through the piece b passes the metal pin d on which is
screwed the valve f likewise made from unmetallic material-for instance indiarubber,
wood, bone, horn or any other convenient substance. The pin d is surrounded above
the piece with a spiral spring e for the purpose of allowing the valve ƒ connected
with pin d to be opened or closed by aid of the lever c.
The funnel-shaped piece y carrying the suction-tube consists of the same
material as the piece b. The tightening is effected by means of rings i j k l of soft
indiarubber, the ring 1 serving besides to prevent the liquid from coming in contact
with the spiral spring e. In order to obviate also any contact of the liquid with that
part of the metal pin d which is comprised between the rings i and 7, said part is
surrounded with a short tube made of the same material as the valve f. The cap a is
screwed into and closes the siphon head above while the latter is screwed in the
known manner on to the bottle by means of the screw-threaded metal ring n.

page_text: 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 :
A siphon head, in which all parts that would otherwise come in contact with the
liquid are internally lined with ceramic or other non-metallic intermediate pieces, and
in which the valve fand the tube, covering part of the pin d, are made from india-
rubber, wood or other suitable non-metallic material substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
