Improvements in the Performance or Movements of Hobby Horses
or other Animal Roundabouts.
I SIMON KELLETT of Hightown Liversedge in the county of York Commercial
Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of my invention is to construct hobby horses, or other animal roundabouts
so that the horses or other animals leap a series of hurdles placed in the track to
represent steeple chasing.
I mount the horses in any suitable numbers on cross bars, which are attached to
slides, the slides are operated upon by cams, or tappets, (which give a rising and
falling motion to the horses or other animals), the tappets are upon studs or shafts
operated by pinion wheels or other convenient mechanism connected to a circular rack
fixed in a convenient position on the track, the spindles are mounted on suitable
carriages linked together so as to travel the required circle, the roundabout is driven
by the ordinary mechanism and by an engine or other motive power.

tappets, cams, eccentrics, or cranks be set so that the horses or other animals on each
shaft may rise and fall together or separately as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that I am
aware horses have been made to move upward and forward in a rocking form and to
which I lay no claim, but I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In hobby horses or other animal roundabouts, the horses or other animals of
which rise and fall so as to represent the leaping of hurdles or steeple chasing as
shown and described, or by other mechanical equivalent.
2. The general arrangement and construction of my circular hobby horses or other
animal roundabouts, only as applied for hurdle leaping as shown as described.

An Improved Method of Producing Articles Direct from Fluid Metal and in Moulds or Appliances for the Purpose.
Year: 1887

page_text: An Improved Method of Producing Articles Direct from Fluid
Metal and in Moulds or Appliances for the Purpose.
I, WILLIAM SPEIRS SIMPSON, of 49 Battersea Park Road, Surrey Civil Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce articles in metal, such as iron, steel,
phosphor-bronze, aluminium, and the like and also from alloys or compounds of metals
in a novel manner.
The invention also relates to appliances by which the process is carried into
practice.
According to the ordinary and well known process of casting the fluid metal is
poured from ladles or the like into moulds. Now according to my invention I immerse
the moulds in the fluid metal so that the hollows or chambers within the moulds
become charged, and when lifted, they contain the articles corresponding in shape to
the pattern therein.
I prefer to make my moulds in two parts, the frame of the mould being hinged or
otherwise held in proximity, so that they can while immersed be closed or be caused
to close, to confine the necessary quantity of fluid metal between or within the two
parts.

I, WILLIAM SPEIRS SIMPSON, of 49 Battersea Park Road, Surrey, 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 object of this invention is to produce articles in metal such as iron, steel, phosphor
bronze, alluminum and the like, and also from alloys or compounds of metals in a novel
manner.
According to the ordinary and well known process of casting, the fluid metal is
poured from ladles or the like into moulds, now according to my invention I immerse
the moulds in the fluid metal, so that the hollows or chambers within the moulds
become charged and when lifted-they contain the articles corresponding in shape

I prefer to make my moulds in two parts, the frame of the mould being hinged or
otherwise held in proximity, so that they can while immersed, be closed or be caused
to close, to confine the necessary quantity of fluid metal between or within the two
parts.
The moulds may be first heated if desired.
By this invention the formation of air or blow holes is obviated, the casting is
clean and the metal somewhat compressed, whereby the articles are more solid than by
the old process.
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. The improved method of producing articles direct from fluid metal as set forth.
2. The immersion of moulds in an open state into fluid metal and the closing of
such moulds therein for enclosing the fluid metal and the formation of articles as
described.

page_text: I SAMUEL WILDE Machinist of Flowery Field Hyde in the County of Chester and
RALPH BURGESS Wheelwright and Smith of Hyde in the County of Chester do hereby
declare the nature of our IMPROVED NAVE FOR WHEELS OF VEHICLES to be as
follows:-
:-
1st. by having the nave made of maleable iron and in two halfs and by having it in
two halfs it enables us to put a new spoke in without having to cut the Iron hoop and
remove the fellows as is now the case the back half is made to hold all the spokes
which are driven in from the face and leveled off to the face of the iron and the
front half or cap is put on and secured by bolts betwixt where each spoke fits in nave
and is also secured by cup which is screwed to steel bush and binds all the spokes and
nave together and enables us to get double the strength of spoke which inserts the
nave than at present exists.
2nd. by having a cast steel bush inserted in the nave instead of cast iron ones as in
the present system.
Dated this 14th day of November 1887.

RALPH BURGESS Wheelwright of Hyde in the County of Chester 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 our improved nave is so that a spoke can be put in and made as
good and durable as when new without having to cut the hoop or remove the felloes
Simply by having a cast malable iron nave or in other material in two parts. The one
part is cast to hold all the spokes put in from face of nave and the other part is put
on the face of spokes and secured by bolts put between each spoke and also by the oil
cup which is screwed on cast steel bush and in order to get a new spoke in the end
of spoke which inserts the felloes is made of two sizes in diameter so that the spoke
will go half way through felloes the small diameter going through the larger one
easily and then it can be driven down in the nave and up to the shoulder in the felloes
and then by putting two folding wedges between end of spoke and against the nave
the spoke can be driven up tight and secure and levelled off and cap put on which
secures all the spokes and wedges in together.
In order that our said improved naves may be more fully seen and carried into
practical effect we have here unto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative of our
improvements.

We, JAMES COMPTON MERRYWEATHER of Greenwich Road S.E. in the County of
Kent Engineer, and CHRISTOPHER JOHN WALLACE JAKEMAN of Greenwich Road S.E.
in the County of Kent Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in processes for treating hose pipe of linen or
other fabric to preserve it from rot and mildew. One method of effecting the operation
is to force a solution of a metallic salt into the hose under a considerable pressure, in
order to thoroughly impregnate the fibres; the hose is then drained and immersed in
a strong decoction of oak bark or other tanning agent, and afterwards thoroughly
dried. Another method is to submit the hose in coils to the action of a vacuum,
and afterwards force into the vessel containing it a suitable solution of a metallic salt;
the hose may then be treated with the tanning agent as before.

page_text: We, JAMES COMPTON MERRYWEATHER of. Greenwich Road S.E. in the county of
Kent Engineer and CHRISTOPHER JOHN WALLACE JAKEMAN of Greenwich Road S.E.
in the county of Kent 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 :-
Our invention relates to processes for treating hose pipe of linen or other fabric to
preserve it from rot and mildew. One method of effecting the operation is to force a
solution of a metallic salt into the hose in order to impregnate the fibres, by filling the
hose pipe with the solution and applying pressure inside, thus when the hose is in use,
the salt is still further forced into the material. After treatment the hose is drained
and immersed in a strong decoction of oak bark or other tanning agent and is after-
wards thoroughly dried. By being subjected to this combined process the hose is
rendered proof against rot and mildew & its durability is greatly increased.
In some cases in place of adopting the method described above, we place the hose to
be treated in a closed vessel from which the air is then exhausted; the solution of a
metallic salt is then admitted and by the subsequent admission of air is forced into the
fibre. The hose may then be treated with the tanning agent as before.
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
1. The treatment of hose pipe with a preservative agent by applying the same in
solution under pressure internally.
2. The process of treating hose pipe with a solution of a metallic salt, subsequently
or previously treated with a tannate for the purpose of preserving it from decay.

page_text: I, PHILLIP MICHAEL BECK of 42 Bishopsgate Street Without in the City of London,
Glass Merchant 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 the fixing of metal handles to tumblers, jugs and other
articles made of glass, china or earthenware where a bandle is desired.
The accompanying drawing shows a tumbler with a metal handle constructed
according to this invention said handle being in section to shew construction and
method of fixing more clearly.
According to this invention I form out of the solid material of which the article A
is composed two or more lugs a a' at that portion of the same where the handle b is to
be fixed. I attach the metal handle (which may be either hollow as shewn or with
hollow ends only) to the lugs a al by means of cement c or pins. I form grooves d d¹
in the sides of the lugs to hold the cement more firmly and if desired I may counter-
sink the glass round the said lugs for the handle to fit into.
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 improved means of attaching metal handles to articles made of glass china and
earthenware substantially as described.

An Improved Method of Indexing Copying Letter Books
and Ledgers.
We, PHANOR MARTIN EDER, Merchant, of 27 Holborn Viaduct, London, and
MORRIS HELLER, Merchant, of the firm of Heller and Wachtel, 10 Aldermanbury
Avenue, London, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED
METHOD OF INDEXING COPYING LETTER BOOKS AND LEDGERS, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The invention consists of a moveable index fastened to the book in such a manner
that it can be withdrawn, when required, without becoming detached from the said
book, and is refolded back to its place when desired.
The index is placed between the leaves of the book and the lower cover; when
withdrawn it remains on the right-hand side in a very convenient position for
indexing and it is not required to open and shut the book for transposing to the
index. By these means the usual troublesome way of opening and shutting the book
is entirely avoided.
Otherwise the index does not in any way differ from others and can also be used in
the ordinary way if desirable. The indexes now in use are either bound in the
Copying Letter books or Ledgers, or are detached entirely.
In the first there is the inconvenience of continually opening and shutting the
whole book backwards and forwards to get at the index either to refer or to transcribe
the names; and in the second it is generally liable to be mislaid.
To show more clearly how the invention is carried into effect we furnish drawings
in which can be seen, that in Fig. 1, how the index is attached to the book.
A is the cover of the book.
B is a piece of cardboard attached to the index C, in the usual way by a strip
of cloth.

page_text: Fig. 3 is another method of attaching the index to the book.
B is part of the index where the sliding pins F are attached.
Cis the index.
E the slotted metal whereon the index slides.
Having particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, we declare what we claim is :
A Moveable index and the contrivance for attaching the index to the book, which
consists of a piece of folding cardboard, one part of it is attached to the index and the
other to the centre of the lower cover, and properly strengthened by pieces of cloth
glued on in the usual way.
Or two long narrow strips of metal or other material slotted lengthwise, which are
fastened to the index, which is made to project, are inserted pins or bolts with flat
heads or bolts and nuts. One head is let into the slot of metal and the other fastened
to the projecting part of the index; by these means the index is moveable; at the
same time we claim we can vary these contrivances to effect the same purpose by
several other modes.

I HENRY BARROW Retired Commander H.M. Bengal Marine Arracan Fairlop
Road Leytonstone Essex 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 attachments or means whereby the truss 5
or belt is maintained in position :-Hitherto, trusses have been kept in place by a
strap passing between the legs of the wearer, and attached to the front and back
parts of the truss. This mode of securing the truss gives much discomfort to tho
wearer, and it is to relieve this discomfort, while maintaining perfect security, that
my present invention is designed.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown a truss with my invention applied
thereto. The truss is formed in tho usual way, to each of the pads 1 of the truss is
sewn a strap 2, of sufficient length to encircle the thigh, and a shorter strap 3 for
engaging with the buckle on the end of the strap 2. Part of the strap 2 is by
preference of elastic material, attached to the strap 2 are brace ends, also of clastic 1
material working through metal loops 4, to which are sown attachment strips 6,
preferably of leather, for hooking on to hooks or studs on the truss bands to support
the strap 2 in a horizontal position.
_
To put on a truss provided with attachments according to my invention, the pad 1, 1-
are first fitted into position, the straps 2 are then passed between the legs and round 2
the thighs, and are secured in the front to the straps 3; the attachment strips 6 are
then buttoned on to the studs 7, and the truss is thereby held securely in place, without
any risk of shifting with the movement of the body.
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 2
claim is:-
Securing trusses and the like to the body of the wearer in the manner herein before
described and shewn in the drawing.
