page_text: I, HUGO SACK, of Duisburg in the Empire of Germany, 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 an improved form and arrangement of rolls for use in
rolling certain allied forms of building iron.
In rolling trains hitherto employed the surfaces of the rolls are so placed as to
exert very unequal pressure on the iron, so that only softer qualities of iron could
be easily rolled-In my improved system pressure is exerted equally on every
portion of the iron.
The accompanying drawings show the system of rolls. A A are two corre-
sponding horizontally journalled rolls and have the peculiar form shown in the
drawing B. C are two vertically journalled rolls of such shape as to fit between
the ends of the 2 horizontal rolls-The roll B is more or less ring shaped to pass
between the conical surfaces on the ends of A A. The roll C carries two flanges
which enter grooves in the opposite ends of the rolls A A.
The iron to be rolled is formed by a previous rolling or by forging or other
means into a shape somewhat as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1., and is introduced
between the rolls and rolled down in successive operations until it has a cross
section corresponding to the position of the rolls shown in Fig. 2. At the end of
each operation the iron is turned over so that that portion which has just emerged
from before the roll B is now rolled by C and vice versa. The rolls A A are
driven by power, The rolls B and C only revolve by friction against the rolled
iron. All the rolls are adjustable vertically to the iron.
As will easily be seen, the iron therefore sustains an equal amount of pressing
over its whole surface.
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 system of rolls for rolling H and similar irons, consisting of two parallel
rolls A A driven by power, combined with the two parallel rolls B. C. whose axes

page_text: lie in the same plane as the axes of the rolls A A, the roll B being shaped so as to
enter between corresponding flaring conical surfaces on the ends of the rolls A. A.,
the roll C carrying two conical flanges adapted to enter corresponding grooves on
the ends of the rolls A A-The whole substantially as illustrated and described,
and for use and purpose as set forth.

page_text: We, GEORGE KING, of East Haddon in the County of Northampton, Brick
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM ARTHUR SMITH, of Weedon also in the County of
Northampton, 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:-
This invention relates to a cheap and simple construction of wine bins such that
each bottle is secured in a compartment by itself protected against currents of air
or violent changes of temperature, the material and form of the compartments
being such that, on moving bottles into or out of them, there is little liability of
breakage. For this purpose we build together horizontally a number of tubular
bricks or tiles, which may be of clay, earthenware, cement or artificial stone, each
tube being of diameter somewhat larger and of length somewhat greater than
a bottle. The exteriors of the tubes are preferably of hexagonal form, so that they
pack together like the cells of a honeycomb as represented in the accompanying
drawings, Fig. 1 being a front view and Fig. 2 a part vertical section. The tubes T
are built together with their ends against a wall or partition W, and in each is
laid a bottle B. The mouths of the tubes are preferably rounded off as shewn
at t (Fig. 2) so that, in moving the bottles in or out, there is no sharp angle for
them to strike against. Although we have shewn tubes externally hexagonal, they
might obviously be of other sections, triangular, square, or even round, but the
hexagonal form is to be preferred as involving less waste of space.
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 construction of a wine bin consisting of a number of horizontal tubes of
ceramic or such like material built together, substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth.

1, ALFRED WILLIAM PHILLIPS, of Nuneaton in the County of Warwick, Felt
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 :-
ว
My invention relates to the manufacture of soft and pliable pocket receptacles
made without seams, such as may be used as purses for holding money and other
valuables, tobacco pouches, cases for cigars or other articles, pocket leather cases,
and the like. For this purpose, I first form a closed bag of approximately the
shape of the article required by felting together at the edges two pieces of felt, a
sheet of canvas or other suitable material being interposed between them to prevent
them from adhering except at the edges. I then cut a slit along one face of the
bag, and through this slit I remove the canvas or its equivalent from within it.
I then complete the felting, which has the effect of reducing the dimensions of the
bag making the felt closer and firmer. On the exterior of the completely felted bag
I cement, by caoutchouc solution or other analogous cement, sheet caoutchouc in one
or in several thicknesses, or thin leather such as russia or morocco, or fabric suitable
for the article to which it is applied. For such articles as tobacco pouches the
covering of the felt may consist of several successive layers or coats of caoutchouc
solution. The bag BO covered being turned inside out constitutes a receptacle of
the desired form, having as its interior lining the caoutchouc, leather or fabric, and
having outside the soft seamless felt.
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 manufacture of pliable seamless receptacles having an external surface of felt
lined with caoutchouc, leather or fabric, substantially as herein described.

Director of "De Danske Sukkerfabrikker, Kalkbraenderwej" 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 improvements in such furnaces and fire grates as have
their fire bars arranged as vertical or inclined gratings and has for its object to
keep the fire bars cool and to prevent radiation of heat from the grating, by which
much heat is lost and an extremely high and unpleasant temperature produced
near the fire, and also to cause a loosening of the slags produced in the grate, so
that the latter is always kept clear and an equal and steady consumption of fuel
ensured.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the improved device.
Fig. 2 a plan view of the fire bar and trough.
The improvements consist in providing each of the fire bars a of the grating
with a trough b of suitable shape for holding water, either cast in one piece with
the bar as shown in the drawing or loosely arranged or adapted to be secured
thereon.
The front or outer side of the water trough is slightly lower than the other in
order to form an overflow c, the water flowing over being guided by the flange or
lip i, so as to fall into the trough below,
The water is allowed to flow from the piped into the uppermost of the troughs b
when this is filled up to the level of the sill, the water flows over the edge into the
trough of the bar next below and so on down to the lowest bar, from which it may
be allowed to run off into the ashes or otherwise disposed of. By this means, a
more or less perfect screne of water and vapour is formed over the whole of the
front of the grating, this water screne cools the bars, receives and absorbs the radi-
ating heat and utilizes the same for the generation of steam. The steam so formed
is drawn by the air current into the furnace and more especially where the combus-
tion is fiercest and loosens the slags and ashes formed, so as to keep the furnace
free for the passage of coal.

This invention has for its object improvements in the handles of Ewers for use
with Toilet Services and is intended to facilitate the acts of lifting and pouring
and at the same time reduce the risk of fracture.
The Ewer is made with either two, three or four handles and a similar number
of spouts or lips so arranged that a spout shall always be opposite a handle.
The object is to make it possible to grasp the Ewer from any quarter and also
provide handles conveniently placed for the use of both hands at once.
It is also intended to apply to this principle handles sunk or recessed in such a
manner that at no part shall they project beyond the general contour of the ewer,
thus reducing the risk of breakage.
With ewers of the ordinary kind as at present made, the breakage of the handle
renders the article valueless but this improvement would secure a great economy.
In the case of a ewer with four handles three of them might be broken without
making it unserviceable.

statement:
The invention relates to certain improvements for bending the front sheet of fire
stoves, fenders, and similar articles upon which beads, plinths or moulds have been
formed.
The beads, plinths, or moulds, may be of the usual configuration, that in the
drawing being a plinth or mould, all of which are formed by means of stamping;
the front plate is placed between a pair of dies, and on sufficient pressure being put
upon them, the plate is bent to the configuration of the dies.
The difficulty of bending the mouldings thus formed to suit the fronts of Stoves,
Fenders, and Ashes Pans, all of which are returned at the ends I overcome in the
following manner :-
I construct a block curved to the radius required with the plinth or bead formed
thereon, and attach to the block by arms of the required radius, a roller cut to the
configuration of the block. On securing the pressed sheet to the said block, the
roller is brought over, by which the front sheet is bent to the curve with the mould
or bead formed thereon, thus composing in one piece, the front plate with the bead,
plinth or mould thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-

I SAMUEL BROADBENT of 55 Chester Road, Stretford near Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Ironmonger, 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 coal savers, economisers or grids. In making my improve-
ments I use two pieces of round, square, or other suitable iron to form the top and
bottom bars, to these I secure a number of short upright bars at any distance from
each other that may be desired each end of said upright bars is turned round and
slightly compressed into the beforementioned top and bottom bars.
Referring to the annexed sheet of Drawings Fig. 1 is a front view of my invention,
shewing the ends of the short upright bars A, turned round and slightly compressed
into the top and bottom bars B. Fig. 2, is merely an end view.
After the ends of the bars A, is formed it is absolutely necessary to use great force
to compress them slightly into the bars B, so that they will be held with a strong firm
grip and not liable to work loose when exposed to the heat of the fire.
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 compressing of each end of the upright bars A, slightly into the top and bottom
bars B, for the purposes described and illustrated above.

"
I, THOMAS RICHARD SHILLITO of 89 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for "AN IMPROVED
RETAINING AND RELEASING MECHANISM FOR THE CAGES OR OTHER HOISTING
MEDIUM OF MINES a communication to me from abroad by F. Westmeÿer, of
St Johann-an-der-Saar, in the German Empire, Civil Engineer, 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 reference to means for retaining and releasing the cages
employed for hoisting and lowering persons and materials in the shafts of mines
and also for performing a similar office with regard to trollies trucks, etcetera in
the case where other than perpendicular shafts are in use.
Referring to the accompanying Sheet of illustrative drawings:-
Fig. 1 shews a stopping place in the vertical shaft of a mine fitted with the
mechanism of this invention, which is shewn in full lines holding up a cage in a
fixed position, the releasing position being shewn in dotted lines.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.
a is a lever the upper end of which is connected to a draw rod provided with a
handle and the lower end of the same is mounted on a horizontal shaft a¹. At an
intermediate point the lever a is in working connection with an opposite and
similar horizontal shaft through a connecting rod and crank lever. On each of the
horizontal shafts is fixed one end of an elbow jointed rod b the other end being
jointed to a link c at one of its ends, the other end being mounted so as to
be capable of oscillating on a pin fixed to the side of the shaft. When the handle
is pulled back the lever a travels in the arc of a circle causing the two horizontal
shafts to perform a portion of a revolution thereby forcing the elbow jointed rods
to recede at their joints and release the cage. When it is required to support the
cage in a fixed position the handle and lever a is pushed forward and the operation
carried out inversely, or the rising cage may push back the supports which will
again fall forward when the obstructing part of the cage has passed.

page_text: By the use of the combined link and elbow-joint the cage suspendend from the
rope may be released for descent without-as is usual with the old form of
support it previously being necessary to raise the cage higher by winding from
the engine, also by reason of the beads of the supports working from below
upwards, a too early sinking of the cage when being loaded or travelling upwards
is prevented.
It is obvious that with slight variation this form of retaining and releasing
mechanism may be applied to shafts and galleries which deviate from the
perpendicular, and where other kinds of vehicles are used.
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 arrangement or mechanism of elbow joint support in combination with a
link substantially as described and illustrated and for the purpose specified.

page_text: 1, FERDINAND MILLER of Nancy in the Department of the Meurthe and Moselle in the
French Republic 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:-
These Improvements consist in the manufacture of a new foot covering or sabot,
similar in form to those already in use but having elements or materials employed in
their construction differing from those at present in use.
The elements or materials
employed in the manufacture according to these Improvements are wood pulp, rag
pulp, paper pulp, powdered cork pulp and similar pulps or pastes or mixtures of them.
These are compressed or moulded under pressure to the required form, indurated, and
in some cases they may be vulcanized, impregnated with siccative oil, and varnished,
enamelled or japanned.
In carrying out my Invention, I prefer to proceed in the following manner :-
I compress the textile, fibrous or ligneous pulp under pressure in a suitable mould
by means of an hydraulic, screw, or percussive press until 1 attain the required degree
of hardness. On leaving the mould the sabot is impregnated with a strongly drying
oil or with albumen or gelatine mixed with acetate of alumina; it is then placed in a
drying stove until it has completely hardened. After removal from the drying room
the sabot is rubbed down with glass paper and coated or painted with a filling
composition such as a mixture of drying oil and whiting to fill up small holes
and defects if any exist, and thereafter it is re-dried and again rubbed down
with fine glass paper if necessary. Finally, I coat the sabot with a varnish,
lacquer or japan having any desired colour incorporated therewith and dry it by
natural or artificial means as may be necessary according to the varnishing medium
employed.
The sabots may or may not be provided with a narrow border of cloth, leather,
spring steel or material to give additional strength to the "instep." This addition
will be determined in each case by the size and quality and by the will of the
manufacturer, while similar considerations will determine the character of the final
varnishing, lacquering or japanning. In some cases the soles and the heels of the
sabots may be provided with a covering of india rubber, linoleum or other similar
substance to deaden the sound produced in walking and to increase their durability.
They may also be lined with flannel, fur or other material at the discretion of the
maker and to suit the tastes and requirements of purchasers.
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 manufacture of sabots and similar coverings for the feet from textile, ligneous
or fibrous pulp; substantially as herein before described.

page_text: I, JOSEPH GOLDSCHMIDT, Junior, of Neumarkt in the Kingdom of Bavaria,
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 device for fixing the brake of velocipedes in different
positions so as to allow it to act automatically with more or less power.
With the
brake thus fixed, the speed can be continuously and uniformly regulated.
The contrivance is shown in the accompanying drawings as applied to a
velocipede with a double lever brake.
As shown by Figs. 1 and 2. a cylindrical casing b is secured to the brake lever a
in which casing, a tube d is adapted to slide longitudinally, this latter is provided
on its inner side with the thread d, and is actuated in its movement by the
screw c. This screw is provided with a disc or projection c¹ adapted to revolve in
a corresponding slot in the outer casing b to keep the screw in place.
The tube is prevented from turning with the screw c by the small screw e
catching into a longitudinal recess d¹ of the tube d.
The outer end of the threaded-tube d is shaped to abut close against the head-
piece g, of the velocipede. By turning the nut shaped end of the screw c with the
correspondingly shaped key h (Fig. 3), the tube d being forced against the head-
piece g presses the lever therefrom, and thus presses the spoon of the brake with
more or less power against the tire of the wheel.
The brake is thus fixed in position and acts automatically until it is again
released by the reverse turn of the screw.
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 combination of a casing attached to the lever of the brake of a velocipede,
with an inner tube adapted to slide longitudinally in the same, this tube being
provided on its inner side with a thread, and actuated by a screw, which is
revolvable in the casing but prevented from moving longitudinally therein,
substantially as, and for the purpose described.

Year: 1886

page_text: New or Improved Supports Applicable to Drawing Boards for
the Use of Draughtsmen, Painters, and similar other Artists.
We, THOMAS HARGER of Goldielands, Settle, Yorkshire Fretwork Merchant and
JOHN VINCENT HARGER of the same place, Builder do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for NEW OR IMPROVED SUPPORTS APPLICABLE TO DRAWING
BOARDS, FOR THE USE OF DRAUGHTSMEN, PAINTERS AND SIMILAR OTHER ARTISTS
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 application of parts to drawing boards so that
the same may be held or supported, when placed upon an ordinary bench or table,
at various angles thereto, to suit the several requirements of draughtsmen, painters
and similar other artists. Such being the nature and object of our invention we
will proceed to describe it reference being had to the accompanying sheet of
drawings illustrative thereof; the letters and figures of reference in which, are
used in the following description.
Fig. 1 is a view of what we style the underside of the board, and fig. 2 is a side
view shewing it at one angle to the line A B (which represents the top of the
bench or table), while fig. 3 shews it at another angle.
•
Beneath and at a suitable distance from two of the opposite sides of the board a
are hinged the arms b b which are joined at their outer ends by the bar c for
firmness and so that they will work in concert.
Parallel and adjacent to the arms b b are the arms d d which are also hinged in
a suitable position and manner to the board a, in order that the pins e e¹, fixed to
the arms bb might pass through the slots f formed in each of the arms d d'
respectively. In the upper edges of the slots fare formed notches for the reception
of the pins e e¹ so that the relative positions of the arms b b¹ may be varied and
held as will easily be understood. In fig. 2 the arms b 61 are shewn as the
supports; the position of the board a being that adapted by draughtsmen or others
using T squares, rulers, etc.
In fig. 3 the arms d d' are shewn as the supports, while the position of the
board a is that adapted by painters and similar others using pens, brushes, etc.
For neatness the upper edge of the board a is extended so as to come "flush"
with the arms b b¹ and d d¹ as well as the bar c.

page_text: 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 combination and arrangement of the arms d d with their slots and
notches, bb with their pins e e¹ and the bar c, in connection with the board a
substantially as herein described and illustrated.
2. The use and employment of binged arms as supports and adjusting pieces in
combination with a drawing board as herein fully set forth and described.
