Improvements in Apparatus for Uncoupling Carriages.
I, JOHN BENNETT of 7 Cromwell Terrace Leek, in the County of Staffordshire,
retired Schoolmaster, 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 method of and means for uncoupling carriages-
or the like, from the fore part of a train, and at the same time indicating automatically
which truck or carriage has been uncoupled.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I have appended the-
accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 is a view of the apparatus attached to the side of a carriage, and
Figure 2 is a side sectional view of same.
Figures 3 and 4 are respectively an elevation and section of the pulley to be.
hereinafter more fully described.
Figure 5 is an elevation partly in section of the apparatus for holding a
signal.
In carrying out my invention I construct a bed or plate A of any suitable
material, said bed being recessed to receive the boot shaped piece B in such &
manner that the heel or spindle a is free to revolve. Supported by means of a
bracket b or the like, is a pulley C having its outer edge grooved as shewn for the
reception of a cord c, said pulley is also slotted behind for the reception of the
projecting lug or piece D, which forms part of the boot shaped piece above-
mentioned. For the purpose of holding a signal or the like the top of the boot.
shaped piece is recessed as shewn at d Figs. 1 2 and 5. The cord c above mentioned!
is passed over the pulley and one end is secured to the handle of an uncoupler, the
other end may be led either to the engine or any other part of the train. When it
is required to uncouple a truck or the like the end of aforesaid cord is pulled,
causing the handle e to be raised, and the pulley to revolve in the direction shewn by
the arrow Fig. 1. On the upper edge of the slot in the pulley coming into contact
with the lug or projection D, the boot shaped piece is caused to revolve on its heel!
or spindle a, thus turning a signal E placed in the slot or recess d in the boot shaped.
piece above mentioned, from side to front, shewing the driver or shunter that a.
truck has been uncoupled. When the handle e arrives at a vertical position the
cord e will be pulled off and may be drawn in. In place of the signal E, a lamp or
equivalent may be used, then the white light would be turned towards the front of
the train, and the red behind, thus replacing one that might have been on the-
detached trucks.
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:
In a detacher, the general arrangement and application substantially as herein
described, and for the purposes herein set forth and shewn.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Articles of Furniture.
JOHN HUBBERT of 184 and 186 Old Street, London E.C. Bedding Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 my invention is to manufacture the legs of articles of furniture in
an improved manner, whereby the appearance of the same is greatly enhanced.
In carrying out my invention I construct the legs of the articles of furniture of a
combination of wood and metal in any suitable form or design.
My invention is more especially applicable to the legs of chair bedsteads and
analogous convertible furniture, where neatness in appearance and lightness in
construction is desirable.
In constructing the legs of chair-bedsteads I preferably form the upper and
lower parts of wood and between these parts I fit a short length of metal tube the
whole being secured together by the usual central pin (cast in the frame of the
bedstead) passing longitudinally through the wood and metal and fitted with a caster
at its lower end.
It is obvious that any suitable design or configuration may be used; also that
two or more metals may be combined with the wood to give the desired effect.
I do not confine myself to the exact details of construction as described as the
same may be varied to suit the nature of the article of furniture to which my
invention is applied.
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 application and use of metal combined with wood to the legs of chair-
bedsteads and other articles of furniture substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
2. The improvements in the manufacture of articles of furniture substantially as
herein before described.

An Improved Surgical Bandage or Appliance for Defective Limbs.
I, HEINRICH BAYER, Agent of Great Bleichen No. 70, Hamburg, 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 :—
The present invention has for its object so to cover or support deformed or
defective limbs more especially the legs of the human body so that when in bent
bodily positions the appliance used is not apparent or so noticeable whereas with
the appliances hitherto in use such has not been the case.
The covering or support for deformed legs for example is effected by means of
specially formed cushions filled with down or the like and suspended from a girdle
strapped round the body and the object aimed at has long been sought to be
obtained by cushions filled with wadding either firmly strapped round the leg or
sewn fast in the trousers or clothing.
In the accompanying drawing the improved appliance called by the inventor the
"Equaliser" is represented and
Fig. 1 represents the appliance (taken off) with single cushions a and b.
Fig. 2 the same but with double cushions a a' and b¹.
Figs. 3 and 4 show the appliance fastened on the body.
In Figs. 1 and 2 a b and a a¹ bare the special cushions filled with down.
cc are the straps by means of which the cushions are adjusted to the legs yet at
the same time are loosely adjustable upon them, d are the straps which are fastened
to the body girdle and carry the cushions a ba¹¹ adjustable at pleasure.
In Figs. 3 and 4 the form and mode of putting on the appliance is represented.
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 bandage or appliance for deformed limbs having pads or cushions adapted to
the latter filled with down attached to a body girdle and to the parts of the body
by bending said adjustable cushions or pads all arranged combined and acting in
the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Collars, Cuffs, and other
similar articles of Wearing Apparel of Celluloid.
I, GUSTAVE MOYSAN, of Stains, Seine, France, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improvement in the manufacture of collars, cuffs, shirt
fronts, cravats, and other similar articles, of celluloid.
These articles are generally made by interposing a thickness of linen fabric
between two thicknesses of celluloid, which mode of manufacture is very costly and,
in order to obviate this objection, attempts have been made to dispense with the
intermediate linen lining, by which a very inferior article is produced, or to
substitute for it a lining of paper, the objection to which is that ordinary paper is
liable to be split up into two parts by the rumpling of the collar or other article in
wear until the films of celluloid gradually become entirely separated from each
other.
My improvement consists in inserting between the two thicknesses of celluloid a
thickness of what is known as parchment paper or vegetable parchment-viz.:
paper treated with sulphuric acid which is of an entirely special character and
absolutely different from ordinary paper, being impermeable, very strong, and
incapable of splitting, so that when introduced between the two thicknesses of
celluloid, it constitutes an element of strength equal in all respects to that of the
linen lining ordinarily employed.
As vegetable parchment can be obtained at much less cost than linen, I am thus
enabled to manufacture collars, cuffs, and other articles of celluloid of superior
quality at a much lower price than hitherto.
The cost of manufacture may be still further reduced by employing a stout
quality of vegetable parchment and reducing the thickness of the celluloid films,
which cannot, practically, be done when linen is employed as a lining.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
The herein described improvement in the manufacture of the celluloid articles
above referred to, which consists in the employment of vegetable parchment or
parchment paper interposed between two thicknesses of celluloid, as and for the
purpose specified.

An Improved Tab for use in Hanging Up Coats.
I, WILLIAM NICHOLAS ROWE of Ivy Cottage Bedford Street Hitchin Tailor,
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 tabs fastened to the backs of coats, for hanging
them on a hook or nail, and has for its object to provide a tab which shall not be
liable to break or injure the coat.
In carrying out my invention I use two buttons of metal or other suitable
material, the centre of the button being raised and perforated in the middle and
the holes for sewing placed at the sides. A piece of thick gut, such as that used
in making cello strings, is passed through the central hole, and a knot is tied in
each end, so that both buttons are held on the gut. The buttons are then sewn to
the coat in the proper position, so that the gut is fastened securely in place.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1 shows how the buttons are secured to the gut, and
Fig. 2 the device attached to the back of a coat.
1 is the piece of gut with knots 2 at each end, securing the buttons 3. These
buttons are provided with the raised part 4, and perforation 5, through which the
gut passes, so that when sewn on the coat, the knot rests in the recess and holds
the gut, forming a strong and endurable tab.
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 tab for use in hanging coats on a hook or nail, consisting of a length of gut,
each end of which passes through the top of a button sewn to the back of the coat,
and is secured by a knot, substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in Marking Textile Fabrics.
I, GEORGE ALEXANDER THIERRY of 13ª Finsbury Square London Importer
of Foreign Goods 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 consists of an improvement in the arrangement of embroidered
designs for the purpose of marking textile fabrics with distinctive letters mono-
grams or names.
Hitherto in marking textile fabrics by embroidery it has been the practice to
embroider the design directly upon the material which it is desired to mark. My
invention consists in making the design a distinct and separate embroidered article
capable of being sewn or otherwise attached to the material to be marked.
The letter monogram name or device required is embroidered in the ordinary
way on cambric muslin linen silk or other textile fabric and is then cut out or
separated from the material surrounding it so as to leave the device distinct and
separate.
Such designs can be made of washable material and also of the same substance
as that to which they are to be attached and can be removed replaced and renewed
at pleasure.
Having thus described my invention and the manner in which the same is applied
I hereby declare that I claim
The use of separate embroidered letters monograms names and distinctive devices
as applied or attached to textile fabrics of personal or household use or ornament
for the purpose of marking or identifying the same.

Improvements in Circular Saws.
I, WILLIAM HOARE, of Victoria Works, Bournemouth, in the County of
Hants., Builder and Contractor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to circular saws of the kind which are used for forming.
grooves in woodwork.
The grooves cut by saws of this class as hitherto constructed are usually rough
and jagged. The object of my invention is to so construct a circular saw that a
groove cut thereby will be smooth and clean whether cut with or across the grain.
According to my invention a number of the teeth of the saw are bevelled on one
side and caused to project slightly above the ordinary teeth.
In practice I find it advantageous to place the bevelled teeth alternately with.
the ordinary teeth and to bevel the alternate bevelled teeth in opposite directions.

This invention relates to improvements in circular saws of all kinds but
particularly to those used for forming grooves in woodwork called grooving saws..
The ordinary grooving saw and circular saw have all their teeth alike and the
grooves or cuts made by these saws vary in size according to the thickness of the
saw and the set of the teeth the cuts being usually rough and jagged. This.
invention consists of interposing between the ordinary teeth a tooth of novel
construction by which the grooves or cuts made are smooth and clean whether cut.
with or across the grain.
To enable this invention to be properly understood I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawing of a saw shewing this invention.
A are the ordinary teeth and B the novel teeth. These novel teeth are flat on
one side as at C and rounded or bevelled on the other side as at D: one of these
teeth come between the ordinary teeth preferably between two and are set for the
rounded or bevelled side to come alternately with the flat side. In practice it is
found advantageous to cause the teeth B to project slightly beyond the other
teeth.
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―
In a circular saw, combining with the usual shaped teeth, teeth B, substantially

statement :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in cooking stoves and consists of
a circular stove having a revolving oven plate on which rest the vessels containing
the articles to be cooked, whereby they may be removed more readily from out of
the oven.
Upon reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, upon which Fig. 1.
represents a vertical section and Fig. 2. a horizontal section through a stove
embodying my invention, it will be seen that the stove consists of a cast iron box
or outer casing a which carries the heating apparatus in its lower half, consisting of
the fire box and the ash pan c.
The ash pan c runs on castors d and carries the fire box b so that both can be
removed from the stove; this ash pan c is also arranged so that it can be removed
separately, without the necessity of removing the fire box 6 with it.
Above the fire box is a circular plate e having the bars e¹ and the openings e
upon which rest the articles to be cooked; this plate e is capable of being revolved
by means of a cog wheel and handle f, so that the plate carrying with it the articles
to be cooked can be revolved over the fire as desired.
The plate e permits the passage of the furnace gases into the chamber g which is
closed on the top side by the plate h.
This plate h can also be revolved by means of a handle and gearing and the articles
to be cooked or kept warm may be placed in the chamber i, but this chamber i will
have a lower temperature than the chamber g.
The articles on top of the plate h in the chamber i can also be easily removed
from the oven.
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 cooking stove divided into three parts from which the fire box and ash pan
can be removed either separately or together having a revolving plate e with the⚫
openings e, the cooking chamber g, closed on the top by a revolving plate h.
substantially as and for the purposes described and set forth.

I ARMIN GRIMM of I Kenngasse 2 Vienna, in the Empire of Austria, M.D. 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 electro-therapeutical apparatus for medical use
which permits of electrizing continuously, in certain diseases, by means of a galvanic
current of reduced intensity, certain weakened or muscular parts of the human
body, the physician having only to lay on and to fasten the apparatus to the part
of the body that has to be treated. The accompanying drawing shows an apparatus
constructed according to this invention.
According to this invention, the apparatus comprises a small battery a, of 2 to 5
milliamperes of intensity, composed of 4 to 10 elements connected in series; the
said battery is contained within a bag which may be closed and which is attached
to a belt by means of which it is easily fastened to the body.
One pole of this battery is connected by a wire d to a metallic, cylindrical or
conical electrode d' and the other pole is connected by a wire f to a metallic
electrode having the form of a flexible plate.
The first electrode is inserted into the anus the second is fastened to the leg of
the patient by means of the straps ƒ³.
In this manner, when the apparatus is in its working position, a current of feeble
intensity passes continuously through that part of the body which is required to
electrize, when this action has lasted for the time prescribed by the physician, the
patient can interrupt it himself by simply taking out the electrode d², without
having to detach the apparatus from his body.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
An electro-therapeutical apparatus for electrization by a continuous current of
feeble intensity, the said apparatus being characterized by a battery a fastened to
the body by means of a belt e and having one of its terminals connected to a
cylindrical or conical electrode d' its other pole being connected to a plate shaped
electrode f¹.

I, THOMAS MACE CANNON of 26 Glen View Road Lewisham S.E., in the
County of Kent, Cycle Agent, 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 consists in the preparation of small handles of different kinds from
corn cobs, that is to say from the fibrous husky ear or shell of maize or Indian
corn, after the grain or corn has been removed.
The method of preparation is as follows; the cob is first thoroughly dried, and
then roughly shaped to the form of the handle required. It is then soaked in some
plastic or saturated liquid or material, in order to fill up its interstices and give it
solidity. It is then dried and turned in a lathe to the pattern desired. In some
cases the soaking may take place after the turning. The hardening material
may consist of a solution of lime or of any other suitable material. The handles
thus formed are by reason of their toughness lightness and hardness well adapted
for cycles, or for tools, knives, whips, umbrellas, the handle-parts of taps or
electrical switches, and many other purposes. They are also suited for reels for
cotton or silk, or similar uses. They can be easily cored or bored or may be used
in a solid condition. They can be mounted with ferrules or other suitable
ornaments.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 shows a corn cob prepared as a bicycle handle. Fig. 2 shows the same
prepared for an umbrella or parasol.
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 !
claim is;
1. Handles prepared from corn cobs saturated or soaked in some hardening
solution or plastic material, as herein described and set forth.

1, THOMAS BROWN, of 13, Armadale Road, Fulham, London, S.W.,
Builder
and House Decorator, 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 certain improvements in chimney-pots and tall-boys and
in applying the same or cowls and the like to chimneys, the object being to
facilitate the application or renewal and re-application of the subsidiary parts or
portions thereof either by way of addition, removal, or renewal, by means of special
flanged unions or plates as will hereinafter appear.
In order that the invention may be well understood and carried into practice,
there is annexed hereto a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, reference being
made thereto by figures and letters in the following particular description.
Figure 1, shews in vertical section and Figure 2, in sectional plan the con-
struction according to this invention. In Fig. 3 is shown the lower portion a of
a chimney-pot which is permanently set into the brickwork by the flange
ordinary manner.
in
Referring to Figs: 1 and 2 upon and over the piece a, will be placed and
secured the flanged ring piece corresponding with a flanged piece upon the
base of the upper continuation piece d. The flange c has made therein the curved
slots through which will pass the stems of the bolts c² and these curved slots cl
will permit of the chimney being set in any required position before the nuts of the
bolts are tightened-up.
In the application of the invention shewn in elevation Figure 3, the flanged
plates are shewn upon the permanent portion a, upon the continuation piece d, and
upon the base of the cowl e.
Figure 4, shews a kneed or bent tall-boy with the lower flanged portion e of a
piece therewith, and Figure 5, shews a like fitting for a straight pipe or chimney
pot.
Figure 6, shews the flanges e as made with a neck or ring piece.
These flanged unions will provide that any section of a pipe may be taken away
and be replaced by another piece in case of fracture or stoppage or in the case
when it is desired to change the chimney pot or cowl either for cleaning or repair
or as an addition or otherwise.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is;-
The improved flanges or unions for chimney pots, tall-boys, or cowls, as and for
the purpose herein set forth.

Improvements in Burners for Gas Lamps.
Year: 1892

page_text: Date of Application, 15th Aug., 1892-Accepted, 17th Sept., 1892
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Burners for Gas Lamps.
I, FRITZ TRENDEL, of Berlin O, No. 12 Holzmarktstrasse, 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:-
In burners as heretofore employed for gas lamps of the kind in which an outward
burning flame is supplied with air both from above and from below, such as in the
lamps known as regenerative gas lamps, the great disadvantage is experienced that
the small openings of the burner through which the gas issues become clogged with
deposit from the flame, or such deposit takes place round the openings, whereby
the flame is made to burn unequally, causing inefficient illumination.
My present invention has for its object to obviate this defect, and it consists in
so constructing such gas burners that at a point thereof above that where the outlet
openings for the gas is situated the burner is of a larger diameter than at the point
where the openings are. By this means the air currents flowing downward from
above are prevented from coming in contact with the part of the burner where the
holes are situated, being deflected away therefrom by the larger upper diameter of
the burner, so that the mixing of the air with the gas and the consequent combustion
thereof is made to take place at a certain distance away from the burner holes,
instead of at the holes themselves. According to another modification I also make
the part of the burner below the holes of larger diameter than at that part, so that
the air supply from below is also deflected.
Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the drawing shew various forms of such before described
burners in which the part at a is of larger diameter than the part at b where
the holes are situated so that the air currents from above are deflected outwards
as shewn by the arrows.
Fig. 5 shews a modification in which the part c below the holes b is also of
larger diameter than at that part, so that the air currents both from above and
below are deflected outwards as shewn.
The gas supply tube d of the burner may either be directed downward as at
Figs. 1 to 4 or upward, as at Fig. 5.
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. Constructing gas burners having a downward air supply or both a downward
and an upward air supply, with the part of the burner above the holes through
which the gas issues of larger diameter than at the part where the holes are,
substantially as described.
2. Constructing gas burners having a downward and an upward air supply,
with the parts of the burner above and below the holes through which the gas
issues of larger diameter than at the part where the holes are, substantially as
described.
