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 a clamp or fastener for connecting the horizontal
beams of a scaffolding or like structure to the vertical beams or poles which
support them.
To this end the invention consists in the clamp constructed as hereinafter described
with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the essential features of which are
pointed out in the claims.
The clamp consists of the two pivoted arms (pivoted together as shown at 6 and
each terminating above in the semi-annular parts K K¹ counterparts of one another
and provided with spurs or sharp teeth S on their inner faces-By opening the
bars scissor-fashion about the pivot b the two parts K K₁ are moved apart as in
Fig. 4 so that they may be passed round the scaffold pole R Fig. 1 upon which they
are caused to embrace by sliding the ring E downwards on the lower parts of the said
bars CC The spurs S press into the wood of the pole and prevent the clamp from
sliding, while the bars CC lie on the face of the pole as in Fig. 1. The lower ends
of the bars C C¹, or the lower end of one of them, are or is curved upward to form
an open hook in which the horizontal beam or pole T of the scaffold is laid-To retain
the beam in the hook there is pivoted to the end a of one of the hooks, (or of the
hook) a lever D adapted to be thrown back over the beam and to be engaged under
one of the teeth of a row of ratchet teeth z formed on the outer face of the respective
bar C or C on which the said lever D is pivoted-Fig. 2 shows the finished clamp

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sheet Metal Boxes or Canisters.
I, LEONARD GUNN of Victoria Mills, Bath in the County of Somerset, Miller, 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 an improved construction of sheet metal boxes or canisters
with screw nozzles, whereby they are made practically air-tight without the use of
solder.
For this purpose I join the several parts of the box or canister together by means
of folded joints, the edges of the plates being either previously dipped into a suitable
cementitious solution or the folds of the joints being filled with such solution before
closing them up by pressure.
In like manner the nozzle having a screw thread formed thereon, is fixed to the top
of the box or canister by a similar folded joint.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews a vertical section of a canister with
screw nozzle constructed according to my invention.
The sides A A of the canister are in this case formed perfectly straight, so that the
canisters can pack quite close together, the folds b, c, being inade in the top and
bottom plates B C as shewn.
The edges of the sides A being inserted into the folds, these are closed up tight by
suitable pressure, the joint being made air tight by the introduction of a suitable
solution of caoutchouc, or other cementitious matter therein as before described.
The screw nozzle D is in like manner fixed to the top plate B by a folded joint d,
also filled with cementitious solution, and then pressed firmly together.
If a stronger joint be required than can be afforded by the straight sides A, the
edges thereof may be formed with beads either inwards as at Fig. 2, or outwards as
at Fig. 3.
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. Constructing sheet metal boxes or canisters with screw nozzles secured thereto
by a folded joint substantially as herein described.
2. The herein described construction of sheet metal boxes or canisters rendered
more or less air tight without soldering by securing the parts together by means of
folded joints into which is introduced a cementitious solution.

with each other, which produces the friction to polish the glass.
As before mentioned the invention consists in an improved mechanism to produce
the desired pressure upon the glass, and, as heretofore described and illustrated, in
polishing-machines prior to this invention this was obtained by the weights B B.
This invention consists in accomplishing this by substituting springs for the
A movable collar D is placed upon the
weights B B, as illustrated in Figure 3.
This collar can be lowered or
spindles, and held in place by the set-screw e, e.
raised so that it will be set at any desired position upon the spindles k. k. A
spring M, is confined between the saddle (hereinhefore mentioned) and the collar D,
and the collar can be so adjusted on the spindle as to produce a light or heavy
pressure upon the blocks. In the drawings a spiral spring is shown; but a solid
rubber or any other character of spring may be used, as this invention is in no way
limited by the character of the spring.
In practice the advantages derived from the improved means for obtaining the
desired pressure are many. The weights now used necessitate an increased amount
of power to move the spindles backward and forward over that necessary to perform
the same work when the weights are replaced by springs, as in my improvement.
In the improvement, by means of the set-screw and movable collar and spring, if
the glass is short finish in one or more places, the pressure at these points may be
adjustably increased so as to bring the whole surface, of glass up at one continuous
operation. The glass can be polished with greater rapidity on account of the dead-
weight of the weights B, B being removed. The friction which now occurs upon
the beams on account of the violent motion is removed and a large saving is made
in repairs and renewals. The spindles with the improvement can be used as they
are cast, without fittings or turnings, so as to perfectly true them, as is now
necessary.
Prior to this invention, on account of the weights in use, the spindles cut through
the blocks y y where the spindles enter, destroying the glass beneath and
necessitating a new iron block and by the improvement this is avoided.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me by
my foreign Correspondents I declare that what I claim is :-
In a glass-polisher, the combination, with the automatically-reciprocating horizonta
bed-plate or table, forming a support for the glass, of a superjacent frame-work
reciprocating in a path transverse to that of the table, said frame-work being
provided with free rotary spring-seated polishers separately having an adjustable
spring-tension, substantially as described.

page_text: I, JOHN EDWARD HEPPENSTALL, of Stonefield Mill, Milnsbridge, Huddersfield,
in the County of York, Cloth 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 prevent the splitting or breaking of the point or
nose of the bobbin, which has hitherto been caused during the process of weaving by
the violent striking of the point of the bobbin against the stop or button at the end of
the shuttle tongue when the shuttle strikes the picker.
In order to enable this invention to be fully understood, I will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 represents an ordinary shuttle tongue, of the form generally in use
hitherto.
Figure 2 represents a shuttle tongue to which my improvement is applied, and
Figure 3 represents a plan view of a shuttle partly in section, the tongue of which
is fitted with my improvement.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in all the drawings.
The ordinary form of shuttle tongue has generally been tipped or terminated
hitherto with a flat button or flange F, against which the point of the bobbin B is
driven forcibly every time the shuttle comes in contact with the picker.
These repeated blows split the end of the bobbin, and thereby render it in a short
time unserviceable.
To remedy this defect, instead of the ordinary button or washer fixed upon the end
of the shuttle tongue P, I employ a strong metallic thimble T, into the hollow of
which the point or nose of the bobbin enters. This thimble is attached to the end of
the tongue of the shuttle, and forms a protection around the point of the bobbin,
preventing it from splitting and holding it together, and also enabling old or split
bobbins to be used for a long time without further injury.
The thimble is formed sufficiently deep to cover the space between the point of the
bobbin and the end of the tongue, and also to overlap the end portion of the bobbin,

page_text: thereby preventing the yarn, as it runs off the bobbin from being trapped between the
point of the bobbin and the button at the end of the tongue, which trapping frequently
occurs in using the older form of shuttle tongue.
The shuttle stock is represented at A and the weft on the bobbin at W.
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 :-
Upon the tongue or peg of a shuttle for weaving a thimble or recessed collar to
receive the nose or point of the bobbin, such thimble being formed and operating
substantially in the manner and for the purpose described, and as represented in the
accompanying drawings....

Improvements in Flat Rulers.
I, JOHANN KARL FERDINAND KNADE of Breslau in the kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire, Engineer and Clock Maker, 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 flat rulers and it has for its object to prevent ink
from an overcharged pen accumulating on the edge of the ruler and smearing the
paper.
For the purpose of this Invention a channeled strip of metal is inserted into the
ruling edge of the ruler in such a manner that any excess of ink from the pen may
flow into or be received by the channel in the inserted strip.
The accompanying drawings illustrate in what manner this Invention may be
carried into practical effect.
Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 a section of a ruler constructed according to these
Improvements. Fig. 3 is a plan of the channeled strip.
The channeled strip is formed by doubling a band of metal upon itself along or
parallel with its axis. In that part of the strip b which is to be the under side, a
furrow b¹ is formed as represented in Figs. 2 and 3. The upper part a of the strip
should project about one-thirty-second of an inch beyond the under part b. A
longitudinal slot or saw kerf is cut in the edge of the ruler A, preferably at an angle
as shewn in Fig. 2, and the doubled strip of metal is inserted therein. The natural
spring of the doubled strip will tend to keep it fixed but it may if desired be
additionally secured by cement.
In the event of ink flowing from an overcharged pen it first reaches the upper
part a and from thence it flows into the furrow 6 whence it may easily be removed.
By this means the smearing of the paper from an overflow of ink from the pen is
prevented.
In the accompanying drawings only one inserted channeled strip is represented,,
but such a strip may if desired be inserted in both edges of the ruler.
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 :-
Flat rulers having inserted in one or both edges a doubled and furrowed strip of
metal, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.

The appliance consists substantially of an iron or other metal lever a which is
fulcrumed, as shown in dotted lines at fig. 2 on a link of a chain b passing round the
uprights. The shorter, crooked, arm a¹ of the lever is cut to a point at its lower end,
as shown at fig. 2.
The chain is fastened to the lever a and when in use is laid round the pole c of
the scaffold, and is held together by the hook shown more particularly at fig. V.
The weight of the cross-beam d will press the upper long arm of the lever, a, outwards
and in so doing will force the point a¹ of the short arm into the wood as shown at
figs. 3 and 4. A secure bed or rest for the cross beam is thus formed. With this
arrangement the greater the weight pressing on the long arm of the lever, the deeper
the point a is pressed into the pole e and as a consequence the scaffolding is held
secure and firm.
The hook can only catch from the side and from below and cannot be moved
downwards.
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 scaffolding support which consists of a lever a, the lower pointed end of which,.
in use, pierces into the scaffold pole, when the upper arm is weighted with the cross-
beam, while a chain, laid round the pole and held together from the side by a hook,
binds the lever to the scaffold pole and secures the cross-beam firmly in position,
substantially as described and shown on the drawing annexed.

I, ALFRED CHRISTOPHER FURSE; of 28 Red Lion Square, Holborn, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 :—
Shade supports for candles have often been constructed of a metal tube or sleeve
embracing the upper part of the candle and terminating with a conoidal top, which
rests on the candle and through an opening of which the wick projects. To such tubes
or sleeves have been affixed suitable supports for the shades. Owing to the weight
of these metal tubes and to the heat conducted along them, the upper part of the
candle becomes deformed and the shade support and shade often become canted to
one side.
This invention relates to an improved construction of shade support whereby
these disadvantages are obviated, the support being readily applicable to candles of
different sizes.
For this purpose I construct the shade support as shown in the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of the shade support with limbs and shade in
position. Fig. 2 a section of the support without limbs and Fig. 3 is a plan
looking from above with the shado removed. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 represent
respectively an elevation, section and plan of a modified form of the support.
A is a metallic cup shaped ring which rests on the top of the candle. Into this
ring is fitted a downwardly extending tube or sleeve B made of light material which
is a bad conductor of heat (as for instance card board) and is made to approximately
fit the body of the candle C.
To the metallic ring A are attached three suitable limbs D carrying a ring E as
shown in Fig. 1 or there may only be two limbs as shown in Fig. 4. In order that
one metallic cup ring A may serve for candles of different sizes, tubes or sleeves B
are provided of various thicknesses, their external diameters being such as to fit the
ring A. The sleeve B may be perforated as shown in Fig. 4, or it might be slit or
notched so as only to partly embrace the candle.

page_text: By the use of a shade support such as is above described, there is no tendency to
deform the upper part of the candle as little heat is conducted along the sleeve and
its weight is inconsiderable. Also owing to the cup shape of the metallic ring A
there is little chance of guttering such as might cause the adhesion of the sleeve or
tube to the candle.
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 shade support for candles consisting of a metallic cup shaped ring resting on the
top of the candle in combination with a downwardly extending sleeve or its equivalent
made of light material which is a bad conductor of heat and approximately fitting the
body of the candle.

CHARLES RAINEY 67 Grove Hill Road Denmark Hill Camberwell S.E. Watch-
maker 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 apparatus is to prevent leaden or card board discs being inserted
into automatic Boxes and is constructed thus :--A & B Fig. 1 are wires curled round
at the end C to act as a spring. To the ends of this wire are attached two clips
shaped as shown in Diagram. These are placed at the mouth of the slot where the
coin is to be inserted thus when a coin is put in, it separates these clips and passes
through them as in Fig. 2. If a leaden disc is put in it will not open the clips as the
metal being soft the teeth grip into it, and the harder it is pushed the tighter it is
held. It has also the same effect on discs of paste board, burnt pennies Iron discs
(if the edges are not polished) wooden or bone discs. It will admit half pennies, but
will reject baser metals of the same size. It is fastened to the machine with a
screw at C.
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 :
An apparatus which will receive pence and halfpence but will reject discs of lead,
paste board, bone wood, or burnt coins or base metal discs.

Improvement in the Manufacture of Cigars.
I, JOSEPH JOSEPH, of 108, Commercial Road, London E., Cigar manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention consists of an improvement in the manufacture of cigars-known as
Zulu cigars-by means of which, it is not necessary to cut off the point of the cigar.
A hole is pierced sideways through the head of the cigar, through which a piece of
tape is passed when in a wet state. After the cigar is dry, the piece of tape can be
easily withdrawn, and the opening will remain, which enables the cigar to be smoked
without cutting off the point. By means of this improvement the workmanship of
the point of the cigar remains perfect, and the peeling of the tobacco is avoided when
smoked.

I, EDWARD EVERETT THORPE, manufacturer, a citizen of the United States of
America, residing at 78 Cortlandt Street, New York, County and State of New
York, 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 provide a simple and convenient polisher for
eve-glasses, spectacles, and analogous articles; and to this end the invention consists
of a centrally-folded backing or body, a lining of polishing material-such as
chamois and an interposed layer of viscid material by which the backing or body
and the polishing material are united.
Reference is to he had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of the
specification, in which similar figures and letters of reference indicate corresponding
parts in all of the views.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved eye-glass polisher.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, representing the polisher as it appears
when in use in the polishing of one of the lenses of a pair of eye-glasses and
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of one of the leaves of the polisher.
In constructing the polisher forming the subject matter of this application, I provide
an outer backing or body 10, of any proper flexible material, leather preferably being
employed for this purpose.
To this backing or body I connect a sheet 11, of polishing material-such as
chamois the connection being preferably established by means of a viscid material 12.
Although the polisher might be of any proper form, I prefer to make it substantially
as shown, the two united sheets of material being bent at a, forming two leaves
A and B..
In using the polisher the article to be polished is grasped in one hand and the
polisher is taken between the fingers and thumb of the other hand and applied to
the lens as indicated in fig. 2, and being so applied the two leaves may be moved
in any desired direction across the lens-faces-that is, the leaf shown in a van *

page_text: fig. 2, may be moved to the position indicated by dotted lines in said figure, or. it
may be drawn up directly towards the bend a. In fact, there is no limit to the
direction which may be imparted to the leaves in the act of polishing.
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:
1. A. polisher consisting essentially, of an outer backing or body of flexible material
and an inner sheet of polishing material, the sheet of polishing material being con-
nected to the backing or body, substantially as specified.
2. A polisher consisting, essentially, of an outer backing or body, a sheet of
polishing material, as chamois, and an interposed layer of viscid material, substantially
as described.

Improvements in or Connected with Match Boxes and Holders.
MATT NEWMAN 82 Prince of Wales Road Kentish Town London Cigarette
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 :-
It consists of a Match Box or holder made in zinc metal gold silver or any other
material for the purpose of holding or protecting Swedish English or any other kind
of matches from igniting or losing themselves from the box while in use. The Box
can be made in different sizes either large or small. The idea of the invention being
a slide box with a safety catch or pin inserted in the middle-side-corner or in such a
way as to prevent only one half of the matches or Box of matches to come out.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side view of a suitable form of the holder, Figure 2
is an end view. Figure 3 show the holder with a match Box in position, Figure 4 is
a similar view with the Box open as far as possible, Figure 5 is a plan view of the
same. A is the pin or projection of any suitable form it may conveniently be stamped
down from the body of the holder.
When the safety catch or projection is inserted in the Match Box it prevents
the Box from falling out of the case and will only allow the said Match Box to
come half way out of the holder leaving just space enough to take out a match or
matches therefor it prevents the matches spilling and also prevents the Box from
crushing and therefore may with safety be carried in the pocket without fear of
igniting.
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 Safety Catch or Stop which projects from the top or any part of the said Match
Box Holder thus forming a Safety Catch for any Match Box contained in the Holder.
