page_text: 1, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex M.I.M.E.
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 present invention is based on the system of the divingbell and the compressed
air is used for the cooling and preservation of provisions and the like, the water
surrounding the apparatus on all sides preventing any admission of air.
For this purpose the apparatus consists of two bell shaped vessels A B which aro
telescoped at their open ends and fastened together by means of bayonet joints a b.
The provisions to be kept cool such as milk, butter, meat and the like are placed in
the inner vessel A, while the outer vessel B serves to compress the air and its open
end is immersed in the water contained in the vessel C.
To prevent any oscillation of the vessel while being immersed several brackets c are
arranged in the vessel C, which act as guides, and several brackets e are arranged in
the outer vessel B which guide the latter when placed over the inner vessel A and
when the bayonet joints a bare to be fastened.
The brackets d pivoted to the vessel U serve to retain the vessels A B after their
immersion. When the apparatus is being immersod, the air contained in the space
between the vessels A B and in the vessel A will be compressed by the water and
this latter surrounding the vessels on all sides prevents any admission of atmospheric
Price di

page_text: air. The compressed air will at once take and retain the lower temperature of the
water and thus cools and preserves the provisions placed in the vessels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said Inven-
tion, as communicated to me by my said foreign correspondent, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
An apparatus for the cooling and preserving of provisions and the like consisting
of two vessels such as A and B telescoped and fastened together at their open ends
and immersed in a vessel C. filled with water the whole substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

page_text: I, GEORGE BELL, of 5, Holland Road, Aston by Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, 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:-
The object of this invention is to produce nails, rivets, and other like articles in
malleable cast iron with tubular or hollow shanks instead of solid shanks.
Such hollow shanks are easier to drive into leather or the like than are solid shanks,
and have the further advantage of a better hold.
The accompanying drawings shew examples of my invention sufficient in variety to
explain the mode of putting the same into practice.
A shews a hob nail in plan, and B the same in section. C and D; E and F ; G
and H; I and J also shew plans and sections of nails with hollow shanks
K and L shew in plan and section a hollow shanked rivet, suitable for leather
belting and M and N shew the same when fastened over a washer by a suitable
punch.
O and P shew plan and elevation of a lace hook made in malleable cast iron, the
shank p being hollow.

I, JULIA BRITTAIN of 263 Balsall Heath Road Birmingham Bird Cage Maker
Wireworker and Wireweaver 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 invention is an improvement in the construction and adaptation of seed cups
or fountains which formed part of a patent granted to Henry Brittain dated
September fifth 1878.
.
The fountain patented in 1878 had an indented groove at the apex and base. The
improvement in the construction consists in the continuation of the groove round
the sides of the cup or fountain. This continuation of the groove enables a slide to
be so adapted to the wires of a cage that when attached to a cage it falls into con-
nection with the groove on the sides of the seed cup or fountain so securing it in its
position on the cage. The slide can be made of metal or any other material.
Figure 1 shows the construction of the seed cup patented in 1878.
In this the only indentation or groove was at A, A.
Figure 2 shews the continuous groove from B to C, the same on both sides of the
cup or fountain.
The groove from B to C permits a slide when attached to a cage of the formation
shewn in Figure 3 to clip the side of the seed cup or fountain securely and so keep
it in its position in the cage. The ends of the slide D, D, D, D, are partially bent so
as to form a clip to the wires of a cage and the slide at E, E, E, E, is hollowed out
so as to rest on the top of seed cup or fountain.
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) The formation of a continuous groove round seed cup or fountain.
(2) The formation of a slide which clips the wires of a cage and also fits into
the continuous groove of the seed cup or fountain; and
(3) The combination and adaptation of the seed cup or fountain and slide to each
other and of both to a cage.

page_text: I, ELLIOTT EMANUEL, 53, 55 & 57 Marylebone Lane, London, W., Sanitary
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the samo
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The two fans are constructed one above the other a holo A in the lower fan B
being made to allow a supply of water to the upper fan both being supplied from
the same inlet The lower fan is arranged to sweep round and cleanse the back of
Basin and also to raise the contents from the bottom D The upper fan directs a
strong flow of water into the centre of Basin and this catching the contents raised by
the water issuing from the lower fan shoots the whole of the contents into the Trap E
The rapid discharge through the two fans in addition to thoroughly cleansing the
Basin also forces out the contents of trap euch time the closet is used.
The double Fan can be made in Pottery or in Iron, Copper, Bruss or other material,
and can be applied to all descriptions of Wash Out Closets.
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. By the simultaneous action of the combined fans the contents are effectually
removed and the Basin thoroughly cleansed of any soil or paper that may have
adhered to it in any part thus overcoming the great objection previously brought
against Wash Out (losets.
2. That by the rapid discharge through the Double Fan the contents of Trap are
forced out each time the Closet is used, substantially as described in the specification.

Boot 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:-
The object of this invention is to utilize ordinary business or other envelopes
for the purpose of displaying and distributing commercial and other general
advertisements.
For this purpose I divide the front or face of the envelope by means of rectangular
diagonal or curved lines, or otherwise into several spaces as shown at Figs. 1. and 2
on the drawing hereunto annexed, and in these spaces I print or impress various
general commercial or other advertisements (by preference a different advertisement
in each space) leaving blank a central space, as at a, sufficiently large to contain the
name and address of the person or firm to whom the envelope is to be sent, and on
the right hand side at the top I leave also a blank space b of a rectangular or other
suitable form, and of such a size as will contain an ordinary impressed or adhesive
postage stamp.
The backs of the envelopes I also propose to utilize for the same purpose and in
the same manner as shown at Figs. 3 and 4 and in some cases I may also utilize the
inside of the flap or other portion of the inside that will be visible on opening the
envelope.
On the drawing I have merely shown two forms of envelope known as the
Ordinary" and the "Court" but it will of course be evident that my invention is
also equally applicable to what are known as "long" or "pocket," and other envelopes,
and in fact to all kinds and forms of envelopes used for enclosing letters or other
documents or articles sent by post or delivered by hand.

page_text: 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 I do not
wish to confine myself to any particular number, form, size, dimension or method
of dilineating or marking out the spaces for the said advertisements but what I

page_text: WILLIAM ARTHUR SMITH BENSON, JOHN LOVEGROVE, and ELIE HINTON, metal
workers, trading as W. A. S. Benson & Co. 82 New Bond Street London W. 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
5 statement:-
Our invention which has for its object the easy & secure fixing of the slide of
a lamp or other standard at any point of its range and easy release of the same
and which is also convenient for securing an electric pendant lamp on the wires
suspending it, consists in passing the slide through a stuffing box having two parts
O which screw the one into the other with a cavity in which a thick washer or ring
of india rubber fits easily. When the two parts of the stuffing box are screwed up
the said washer is compressed between them and closes in towards the centre, thus
gripping the slide or wire which passes through it.
In order to protect the rubber from wear it is advisable to employ one or more
5 metal washers shaped to fit the rubber. In the accompanying drawings on which
like letters denote like parts, Figure 1 is a full size section of the grip adapted to
a standard on which A, is the rubber washer B. B. are metal washers C and D the
two parts of the stuffing box of which D is attached by screwing or otherwise to
the base, while C, being provided with a milled rim for convenience in handling,
screws on to D with a thread preferably of 6 to the inch so that a half turn of the
part C suffices to fix or release the sliding tube T. Figure 2 shews the grip adapted
for an electric pendant lamp, the part D having a fine screw by which to attach it

page_text: to the said lamp. Only one washer B is required with this size, & the working screw
is of finer pitch.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed wo declare that what
we claim is,
The construction of a stuffing box with an india-rubber washer substantially as
described and for the purposes set forth.

I, FREDERIO WALMSLEY WARRICK 18, Old Swan Lane in the City of London
Pharmaceutical Chemist 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 the use of a clip with pin attached to retain stoppers
in bottles jars or other vessels
I propose to use for this purpose an annular clip of metal or other suitable material
with pin of metal or other suitable material fastened into it as shown in Fig 1 on
accompanying sheet of drawings In Fig 1 a represents the pin
The chip is of such a size that it fits closely to the neck of the bottle with which it
18 used
The neck of the bottle has a hole 6 Fig 2 bored through it of a diameter to allow
of the pin a to move easily in it
The pin a is of such a length that when the chip is adjusted to the neck of the
bottle as described below the pin projects into the bottle 2nd part of an inch more
or less
The pin a is inserted into the hole 6 by expanding the clip over the neck of the
bottle and is held securely in place by the clip which as before said fits tightly round
the neck of the bottle
Fig 3 shows the clip with pin inserted adjusted to the neck of the bottle
The plug of the stopper which may taper throughout its length or only at that end
of it which first enters the bottle has a groove or notch ground into it at a point such
that when the stopper is thrust home this groove or notch c Fig 4 may be brought
opposite to the hole b
When the plug of the stopper with groove as described is inserted into the neck of
the bottle with clip and pin attached the tapering nature of the plug causes it to
press the projecting part of the pin a into the hole b, this is allowed to take place
by means of the ends of the chip parting somewhat The stopper being thrust home,
it is turned until the groove in the plug appears before the hole 6, when that
DS21

page_text: occurs the elasticity of the chip forces the pin into its place again and the pin projects
into the groove in the plug and prevents the stopper from falling out
To remove the stopper a slight turn is given to the stopper, whereby the groove c
18 removed from opposite the hole b and the pin a is forced by the ungrooved part of
the plug into the hole 6 and the stopper can be easily removed
What I claim 18
The use in connection with bottles Jars and other vessels of a clip with pin
attached of metal or other suitable material combined with a grooved or notched
stopper for the purpose and in the manner substantially as described.

I, FRANZ PRETZEL of the firm of Franz Pretzel & Co. of Berlin, Germany, Grosse
Hamburger Strasse No. 32, 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 consists of an appliance whereby an endless belt or strap can be
readily placed upon a pulley while in motion.
My appliance or belt placer is represented in side view in Figure 1 and in front
view in Figure 2 of the annexed drawings. Figures 3 and 4 are views illustrating
the action of the appliance while placing a belt over a pulley.
The appliance is composed of two curved bars a, a carried by a rod A of suitable
length, and of two curved bars b, b attached to the bars a, a in such manner as to
he capable of sliding thereon, guide slots (as shown) or grooves, or other guiding
devices being provided for the purpose. The bars b, b are firmly united at their
upper end by means of a hollow boss or tube c in which a spindle or rod d can slide.
This spindle carries two discs e and f which can turn thereon.
-
The belt placer is used as follows:-The two discs e and fare set at such a distance
apart as to slightly exceed the width of the belt pulley. The operator, taking hold
of the rod or handle A, introduces the spindle d under the bight of the belt which is
to be placed on the pulley, and pushes the same while it hangs loose thereon so far
up against the pulley that the small disc f comes behind the edge of the pulley. He
then pushes the appliance partly around the periphery of the pulley in the direction
of the rotation (see Figure 3), and the pulley will then carry it round until it
becomes placed thereon, the large disc e preventing it slipping sideways. The placer
or appliance thus passes automatically from the position seen in Figure 3 to that seen
in Figure 4 and gradually comes forward from under the belt. Meanwhile the bars b, b
have slid out along the bars a, a to a sufficient extent.
This sliding movement or elongation of the bars has the further object and
advantage of allowing the distance of the spindle d from the rod or handle A at the

page_text: commencement of the placing operation to be as small as possible; the power required
for lifting the belt would otherwise have to be considerable, whereas when the distance
between the spindle d and the rod A is short, this power is small. The operator
remains in the same position while he places the belt, and this is of importance where
the available space is limited.
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 belt placer or appliance for placing an endless belt or strap upon a pulley
while in motion, constructed and operating substantially as hereinbefore described.

applicable for fastening endless blind and other cords which run in grooved pulleys,
whereby the necessary firmness is secured, and projecting knots and thickened parts
are dispensed with.
The invention consists of a spiral spring of steel or other suitable material
of such diameter that the ends of the cord or cords can be inserted longitudinally
therein.
The ends of the said spiral spring are produced and formed into hooks for the
purpose of gripping the ends of the cord or cords to be fastened together.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which similar letters are used to indicate corresponding parts in both
figures.
Figure 1 shows the spring and cord or cords before fastening, and
Figure 2 shows the same fastened.
The spiral spring A is constructed of any convenient length, and of the same
diameter throughout, the said diameter being slightly larger than the diameter of
the ends of the cord or cords to be fastened.
The ends B and C of the said spiral spring are drawn out and formed into hooks
and pointed if required.

page_text: To secure a cord or cords the ends D and E are inserted any suitable distance

page_text: I, EMMA JOHNSON of 52 Church Road, Richmond in the County of Surrey, Gentle-
woman 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 produce a cork especially suitable for stoppering
bottles with an internal screw in the necks thereof, which cork is capable of being
withdrawn from the bottle without any addition whatever.
This I accomplish by making the cork partly conical and partly cylindrical.
And in order that my invention may be more easily understood I will.describe the
same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Figure 1 shows
section of the neck of an internally screwed bottle fitted with a cork constructed
according to my invention. Figure 2 shows elevation of such a cork ready for
insertion into the bottle and Figure 3 section of the same. Same letters denote the
same parts in all the figures.
c is the
a is the bottle neck fitted or formed with an internal or female screw b.
cork which is formed cylindrical for a portion of its length d and conical for the
remainder e. The conical portion e is inserted in the bottle and the cylindrical
portion d projects beyond the neck thereof and serves to take hold of when with-
drawing the cork from the bottle by unscrewing, I also coat the cylindrical portion of
the cork with an impervious solution composed of spirits of wine and shellac or other
waterproof composition for the purpose of stopping any air spaces there may be
in the cork and preventing that portion of the cork from becoming wet and soft when
soaked before inserting the same into the bottle. The cork c when well soaked
in water may be driven into the bottle by means of a mallet or corking machine in the
ordinary way and swells out so as to fill the groove made by the screw thread in
the neck a and when required is uncorked by unscrewing as with the ordinary screw
stopper, no corkscrew being required.
By constructing corks as above all the advantages of a screw stopper are attained at
little or no extra cost above that of an ordinary cork and the use of india rubber is

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 :-
1st. In a cork for stoppering bottles the combination of the conical portion fitting
the neck of the bottle having an internal screw together with a cylindrical portion for
withdrawing the same by unscrewing substantially as described.
2nd. In a cork for stoppering bottles coating the cylindrical portion of the said
cork with an impervious solution as and for the purposes stated.

Improvements in the Construction and Mounting of Masts and Booms
for Boats or Vessels.
I, ALEXANDER MACANDREW, of No. 43 Shore Street, in the Town and County of
Inverness, North Britain, Sailmaker 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 more particularly to a self-acting swinging boom for ships
and boats, the object of my Invention being the saving of life and property at sea and
the reducing of the labour in maneuvering ships or boats; the boat in accordance
with my Invention being self-acting in tacking.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my Invention.
The boom A, is prolonged towards the bowsprit and is capable of swinging in a
half circle from the mast B, as a pivot.
The boom is preferably jointed at its pivot with the mast, as shown in the drawing
so as to allow the stern portion of the boom to be raised or lowered when maneuvering
the sails or at other times as required.
In the management of the fore portion of the swinging boom I employ a semi-
circular guide C, mounted across the deck, and a roller c, which runs under the
guide C.
In open boats the semicircular guide may be at the foot of the mast in the bottom
of the boat.
In order to manage the swinging boom at the stern, I employ a windlass D, with
blocks and tackle d, and a friction brake d¹, by means of which arrangements the
sheet can be slackened off in an instant when caught with a squall of wind; a guide
rod d², is mounted across the deck in front of the windlass to control the position of
the swinging boom.
At about the part b, of the mast is a joint or hinge for lowering the mast when the
sails are lowered down and stowed on the boom; the joint on the mast when not in use
is preferably locked by a sliding ferrule.
My above described improvements are applicable to sails of all sorts.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:
1st. The swinging boom A, extended towards the bowsprit.
2nd. The semicircular guide C, controlling the extended length of the swinging
boom A.
3rd. The Windlass D, in combination with the swinging boom A.
4th. The hinging of the mast at b, in combination with the swinging boom A.

page_text: I, LORENTZ ALBERT GROTH, of No. 3 Tokenhouse Buildings, in the City of London,
Civil Engineer, as a communication to me from abroad by Georges_Carette,
Manufacturer, trading as Georges Carette & Co., in the City of Nuremberg, Kingdom
of Bavaria, German Empire 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, reference being had to the accompanying
drawings:
The object of this Invention is to produce a simple and durable mechanism for
automatic moving of toys, consisting of an axle b, surrounded by a spiral spring a,
the ends of which are fastened to a rock wheel c and a cogg wheel d respectively; the
cogg wheel & being independant of the axle b, resting, for instance, in a socket e.
The rockwheel c cannot move in a longitudinal direction, but is moveable on the
axle b, and provided with a crank f, in such way, that by turning the crank, the
spring a is wounded up, and will therefore, after the winding being finished, try
to obtain its original position. As a winding up backwards is prevented by the
pawl h, so inust the spring act on the wheel d, which, when loosened, is thereby
brought in rotation, and can thus, by means of the cogg wheel i transfer its power to
the toy, for instance a locomotiv, as more fully shewn in figs. 2 and 3.
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 mechanism for automatic moving of toys, consisting of an axle, surrounded
by a spiral spring with its ends fastened respectively to a cogg wheel and
a rockwheel, this latter one provided with a crank, for purpose principally as described
and shewn in the drawings accompanying.
