Developing Dish for Photographio Films.
1 HUGH OBWALD BLAKER Builder and Contractor of No. 7 Liverpool Terrace
Worthing Sussex, 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 improvement is devised with a view to afford increased facilities for
doveloping films used in the process of photography, which films are composed of
celluloid or other transparent material.
In carrying out my invention I employ a developing dish composed of ebonite,
glass, celluloid, papier machè or other suitable material and which has a number
of small projections or nibbs at the sides as per drawing and marked thereon
as "A."
The said nibbs or projections being used for the purpose of holding the film in a
perfectly flat position during the process of developement, the edges of the film
being placed underneath these said nibbs to prevent the film curling or being
displaced, and to obviate the necessity of holding or fastening it down by other
means.
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
alaim is :
For photographic developing dishes, the employment of nibbs or other projections
for bolding films in position substancially as herein set forth.

Improvements in Draught Excluders.
We CARSTEN BOSSEN and ADOLPH BURGHARDT both of Woltmanstrasse 12,
Hamburg in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers, 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 draught excluder for closing the space between a
door and the floor having a simpler construction and more secure operation than
draught excluders of other constructions.
In the annexed drawing :-
Figs. 1 and 2 show the excluder in its operative position in elevation and in
horizontal plan.
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 show the excluder lifted.
Figs. 6 and 7 are different sections of the excluder.
Fig. 8 the same with modification of the spring construction.
Figs. 9 to 11 a modification in the arrangement of the excluder.
The excluder consists of a protecting flap s causing the closing of the slit m
and of a cover or housing b on which the flap is fixed to turn round the hinge
joint o.
The flap is made of a strip of felt, leather or other elastic materials which is
fixed in a cramps which is held by means of a rod or in another manner in the
hinge joints o and is pulled up by means of springs for f¹ (Fig. 8) as soon as an
arm c united with the ramp or its rod s' moves away from a projection d on the
door framing.
The flap may be turned towards the face of the door to close the slit (Figs. 1-8)
or the contrary arrangements shown in Figs. 9-11 may be used.
The cover is important for the proper operation of the draught excluder,
because it prevents the strip s being turned back, as shown in Fig. 1 in dotted
lines. The cover b against which the flap s is pulled high and against which the
strip & rests, causes the latter to always return to its original incurved form and
so, when needed, properly touch the floor, which would not be the case if the strip
became permanently curved backwards.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
A draught excluder for doors, consisting of a spring operated flap s revolvable
round an axle lying parallel with the slit to be closed and which is covered by a
housing b against which the closing strip s rests when lifted to protect it against
permanent deformation

An Improvement in Boots and Shoes.
I, GIBSON THOMPSON of 24 Bride Lane, Fleet Street, London in the
County of Middlesex, Editor, 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 improvement in boots and shoes consists in making them with hollow tongues
or, in boots and shoes having no tongues, such as "Blucher" boots and those
provided with elastic sides, making them with air tight expandable linings, and in
inflating these with air or other elastic fluid. These tongues or linings may be made
of india rubber or other suitable materials. The advantages of having boots and shoes
made or fitted as above being that they can be shaped to good models so as artificially
to supply any lack of shapeliness in the arched crown of the foot, and at the same
time not to affect the wearers comfort, or interfere with the natural action of the feet.
Further in the cases of wearers having corns, bunions, or sores, on the feet the soft
cushion formed by the tongues or linings of these boots and shoes, will provide
adjustable fillings which will enable easy fitting boots and shoes to be worn without
inconvenience.
The tongues or linings of boots and shoes made as described may be permanently
inflated, or they may be provided with valve covered openings, to enable them to be
inflated at the will of the wearers after the boots or shoes have been buttoned laced
or otherwise closed up.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a boot with the tongue inflated.
Figure 2 is a cross section of the same boot.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of a "Blucher" boot showing the inflated
lining.
Figure 4 is a cross section of the boot shown in Figure 3.
(a) is a section of a boot to which is fitted the inflated or inflatable tongue or
lining (6); (c) is an outline of a foot within the boot, shown in elevation in
Figures 1 and 3, and in section in Figures 2 and 4. (d) is the valve which permits of
the tongue or lining being inflated at the will of the wearer, in those boots and shoes
that are not made with their tongues or linings permanently inflated.
The inflated tongues or linings may be attached to the boots or shoes by sewing, or
by means of any of the ordinary suitable compositions that are used for like
purposes.
Any ordinary bicycle tyre valve or similar valve that is suitable for attachment to
the tongue or lining, may be used in connexion with this invention.
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 :-
Boots and shoes made with inflated or inflatable tongues or linings that are filled
or capable of being filled with air or other suitable fluid.

Fig.
plan of the boiler.
The path taken by the products of combustion (smoke etc.) is similar to that in
the water tube boilers at present in use; and is shown in Fig. 2 by arrows. The
gases pass from the grate R over the bridge F around the water tubes and are then
directed downwards by the division F¹ behind the fire-bridge F and thence pass
upwards to the chimney or smoke-stack S.
The sides of the underframing m see Fig. 1 (and the fire flues and those parts
which come in contact with the products of combustion) are made of or lined with
ganister or fireclay moulded asbestos fire bricks or insulating material of any suitable
kind. This lining has above all for its object to prevent radiation of heat towards
the outside. Practical experiments and tests have shown that this object has been
successfully attained because the exterior of the outer walls of the entire boiler
shewed only a slight rise in temperature during these trials.
In employing this water-tube boiler as a marine boiler there is attained above
all the great advantage that with the small amount of space occupied by the
boiler there are available a great amount of heating surface and evaporating surface
and consequently a rapid production of steam which is a great advantage in the
case of marine boilers.
As will be seen from Fig. 2-the front water chamber a of this boiler is wider at
the top and the back chamber 6 wider at the bottom.
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 water tube boiler having in combination therewith conical water chambers
such as a 6 which serve to connect the inclined boiler tubes substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.

therefore when extensions are pulled at thumbpieces E with the left hand & F
with right hand, you can pull both extensions out with the one exertion as the ends
are fitted loosely round bars of stand, so they work up & down freely meeting in the
middle, these are turned over at A. B. C & D so they clip under wired or turned over
edge of cooking utensil thus preventing meat stand from falling over; these
extensions are fitted to stand by passing through side of stand & being fitted
round 1st & 2nd bars from each end, (or other suitable method) the dotted lines
in illustration shew extensions pulled out, you can thus fit stand to various sizes in
cooking utensils. Above stand can be made of any suitable material,

London, Clerk, 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 :-
Heretofore the materials ordinarily employed for binding books and protecting
the edges and corners of the binding have been such that the covers rapidly

Improvements in Supports or Stays for Bicycles.
I, ADOLF FREDRIK ÅBERG, of 17 Mollegründe, Helsingborg, in the Kingdom
of Sweden. 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 object of the present invention is an improved stay or support for keeping a
bicycle in an upright position, when it is not in use.
In the accompanying drawings
Figures 1 and 2 show the manner in which the stay is fixed to the bicycle and
Figures 3 and 4 show the construction of the stay drawn to an enlarged scale.
On the rear wheel axle a of the bioycle and on the side opposite to the chain,
a plate bis fixed between the chain-tightener c and the put d (Figure 4).
Against this plate b is pressed by means of a spring another plate f, which is
fixed to the end of the rod or tube g, which rod or tube can turn about a pivot k
screwed into the plate b. The rod g is made of such a length, that when the
bicycle is slightly inclined towards the side to which the rod is attached (Figure 2),
and when the rod is turned downward, it will rest on the ground (Figures 1 and 2).
The bicycle will then be supported at three points. In order to ensure a greater
stability the plate b is bent outwards (Figure 4), so that the lower end of the rod
is somewhat further away from the wheel (Figure 2).
When the support is not required the rod 9 is turned through an angle of
about 90°, to the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 and in order to be out
of the way it may be conveniently located below the fork stay 1. This may be
done by placing the downward-bent part of the plate b in a plane which is parallel
with the fork-stay. In order that the rod g may be firmly held in oither of the
two positions, a pin m on the plate f catches into a corresponding hole in the
plate 6 and the rod may thus only be turned from one position into the other by
lifting the pin out of the hole. This can be made easier by filing away the edges
of the holes.
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 support for keeping bicycles in an upright position consisting of a stay 9,
which can turn round a pivot & in a plate b, which plate is fixed to the axle a of
the rear wheel, with the object, that the stay, when turned downwards, rests on the
ground and may, when the bicycle is in use, be turned so as to lie underneath the
fork-stay l
2. For using the stay mentioned in Claim 1, the arrangement of a plate f
on the end of the stay, which, by means of a spring h resting against the inner
side of the head of the pivot k, is pressed against the plate b and is kept in one of
two positions by means of a pin m, fixed on the plate f, catching into corresponding
holes in the plate b.

Improvements in Apparatus for the Condensation of Steam.
Year: 1896

page_text: Date of Application, 17th Dec., 1896-Accepted, 27th Mar., 1897
Improvements in Apparatus for the Condensation of Steam.
I, OTTO MOBIUS of No. 8 Heikengang, Hannover, in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer, do bereby 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 apparatus known by the name of the water jet condenser produces (especially
in small sized condensors,) no high pressure exhaust, as, through its arrangement and
manipulation such jet-apparatus can only be employed conveniently (unless portable
pumping machinery is used) in places where there is a supply of water available and
where there is a means for producing an exhaust.
The hereinafter described invention refers to the removal of these inconveniences.
The steam to be condensed by means of the jet-condenser is sucked through a surface
condenser, cooled by the waste water, and is condensed here as well as afterwards in
the jet-condenser. In this way a good exhaust is obtained in the steam space.
In the annexed drawing there is represented a vacuum apparatus V, which is
connected by the tube L with the worm S, which forms the surface condenser in the
water holder W, the other end of the worm S is connected by the tube L' with
a holder G and gathers in G the water condensed in S together with that steam which
is not yet condensed. This is sucked through the tube E by the jet-apparatus C and
afterwards condensed by meeting with the water conducted to it through the tube A,
the waste water flows through B into the water holder W and afterwards goes off
through D.
As is apparent the suction of the jet-apparatus effects the movement of the steam
from V through L to S and thence through L' to G as well as from G through
E to C.
In the same manner the arrangement can be applied in other cases such as that G
shall be directly upon the surface condenser and this can even be used also for gathering
the water without the intervention of G.
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 :-
A condensing arrangement consisting of a water jet condenser and of a surface
condenser cooled by means of the waste water of the former, and in which the steam to be
condensed passes through the surface condenser before reaching the jet condenser
substantially as and for the purpose herein described and set forth.

This invention relates to the manufacture of slippers and shoes, and its object is
to provide a means by which the same are held more firmly to the foot, and thus
adds to the comfort of the wearer, and also act as a substitute for the unsightly
elastic bands such as are generally fixed to dancing or similar shoes over the instep
or around ankle to prevent their slouching at heel.
On a slipper or shoe made according to my improved method, I sew wholly or
partly round the top or opening of the upper, at usually about quarter of an inch
from the edge, an elastic band, of about half an inch wide, and in the process of
sewing such elastic band on, it is stretched at certain places, such as at the heel or
front, thus,allowing freedom to the elastic in the uppermost portion of the said band,
which then contracts with an inward tendency.

Street Road, Clerkenwell, London, E.C. 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 safety pin is formed out of one piece of wire, which is bent up in the shape
of a long narrow S. One of the end curls is made into a complete loop, & the-
continuation of the wire from this loop is pointed to form the "tongue"
pin & brought diagonally across the back of the down-stroke of the S. The pin
is extended to the centre of the other end curl which is inclined slightly backward
that it may serve as a "catch" to the point of the piu & also as a shield to prevent
it scratching or tearing.
The brooch fastening is made in exactly the same style as above, but the wire
forming the down-stroke of the S is removed to allow the pin & catch to be affixed.
to any style of brooch.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I.
claim is
1. That unlike the ordinary "nursery pin" this does not fall forward but sets
flat to the dress, thus showing properly any ornamentation on the front & rendering
the safety pin less liable to catch anything than the aforementioned old style.
2. That the safety pin & brooch fastener have the greatest possible amount of
strength, on account of being made without any joint or hinge this being always
the weakest part of any brooch.

page_text: Date of Application, 29th June, 1896-Accepted, 8th Aug., 1896
A Buckle or Fastener for Ladies' Veils.
I, HEDWIG REICHEL of 28 Lafontaine Strasse, Halle, Germany, 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:-
As is well known the usual method of securing ladies' veils in position is to bind.
or tie up their ends. This method is very inconvenient.
My invention has for its object to provide a simple fastening device or buckle.
whereby the veil can be readily secured in position with very little trouble.
On the drawings annexed, which illustrate the fastening device,
Fig. 1 is a front view of the buckle showing part in section,
Fig. 2 is a section on the line x-x Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a modification and
Fig. 4 shows the application of the device.
Referring to the drawings:-
The fastener or buckle consists of two parts A, B, capable of being locked
together by means of two spring catches d secured to the part A. and provided with
hooks e at their ends which catch into recesses f made in the part B.
One end a of the veil is, as shown, secured in the part A and held in place by
means of the clip c whilst the other end b is secured in the part B and is likewise
held in place by the clip c'.
In order that the catches d may be released whenever desired they are provided.
with upwardly projecting pins f¹.
To join the ends of the veil, as shown at Fig. 4, all that is necessary is to push
the parts A and B together and so that the hooks e may catch in the recesses f.
To separate the ends of the veil all that is necessary is to merely press the two.
pins together so as to free the hooks from the recesses f.
In the modification shown at Fig. 3 the part A¹ is made with two keyhole
slots g, gl into which two studs h, h on the part B' fit. To unlock the parts, the-
part B is first pushed in the direction of the arrow and then the studs are released
from the slots g.
The buckle may not only be made to serve as a fastener but also as an ornament.
as it is capable of being made of a very attractive appearance.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
1. A fastener for ladies' veils consisting of two parts which are secured to the
ends of the veil and are capable of being readily connected together or disconnected.
substantially as set forth.
2. The construction of fastener for ladies' veils substantially as herein before.
described and shown at Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings annexed.
3. The modified construction of fastener for ladies' veils substantially as herein--
before described and shown at Fig. 3 of the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Hinges for Doors and the like.
I CHRISTIAN THEODOR GOTTSCHAU, of Colonader 21 Hamburg, in the
Empire of Germany, 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 for improvements in hinges for doors and the like has for its
object to provide a hinge whose bearing surfaces can be completely and
conveniently lubricated without necessitating the lifting of the door.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:-
Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section, of a hinge constructed according to this
invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan with the closing plug removed and
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the closing plug.
The hinge is constructed so that it can be lubricated axially. An iron or
metal cylinder c is bored centrally and secured in the socket by the pin d. The
central boring e of the cylinder c is provided at its upper part with screw threads,.
serving to receive the stopper falso threaded.
The socket of the lower leaf b holds the fixed hinge pin g.
The arm leaf a fixed to the door actually rests with the bottom of the cylinder c
on the rounded top end of the pin g but for the greater clearness a free space is
shown between the parts in the drawing.
Ordinarily the stopper fis screwed in, as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 1.
If however the door is to be lubricated the stopper is unscrewed and some oil
is poured into the opening. This runs through and spreads itself evenly over the
rubbing surfaces. The stopper is then screwed on again.
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. A door hinge characterised by an arrangement for axial lubrication of the
bearing parts consisting of a cylinder or tube secured in the upper part of the
socket of the upper leaf of the hinge.
2. The improvements in hinges for doors and the like substantially as described
with reference to the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Driving Gear for Bicycles.
I, HENRY PERCY HOLT, of No. 22 Chancery Lane, in the County of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manuer the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention relates to toothed gear for connecting the pedal axle of a bicycle
to the driving, so arranged as to avoid the strain on the bearings and friction
resulting from the tension of the ordinary driving chain. For this purpose
I employ bevil gear arranged and operating as I shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 is a plan of the hinder part of a bicycle with
gear according to my invention.
A is the pedal axle working in a bearing B which is connected to the stationary
axle C of the driving wheel by a tube D on the one side arranged as usual, and by
a tube E on the other side inclined more outwards towards the rear than usual,
and having its rear end attached to a bracket F fixed on the axle of the driving
wheel.
On the pedal axle I fix a bevil wheel G gearing with a bevil pinion H which is
fixed on a sleeve K enclosing the frame tube E and running on ball bearings L
provided at each end, the sleeve K having an internal diameter somewhat greater
than the external diameter of the tube E so that there is no bearing on the tube
except at the ball bearings L.
On the rear end of the sleeve K is fixed a bevil wheel M gearing with a bevil
wheel N fixed on the nave of the driving wheel, the tyre T of which runs clear of
the sleeve K.
In order to give clearance when necessary for the bevil pinion H part of the
tube D may be indented as shewn in dotted lines at d. By means of suitable nuts
the ball bearings L L can be adjusted lengthwise on the frame tube E.
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 1
claim is :-
Driving gear for a bicycle comprising a bevil wheel fixed on the pedal axle
gearing with a bevil pinion fixed on the front end of a sleeve which has fixed on
its rear end a bevil wheel gearing with a beril wheel on the nave of the driving
wheel, the said sleeve enclosing one of the side tubes of the rear frame of the
bicycle and having ball bearings running thereon, substantially as described.
