Wa H
JAJI
My Invention consists in employing a material which will become plastic by the
application of heat & which I place between the hoof and the shoe in such manner
as to secure a firm & perfect bed for the shoe when fixed witliout injurylito
the hoof.
I take, a thin piece of the plastic material (preferably Gutta Percha) and heat it
until plástic and at the same time I slightly heat the shoe I then place the Gutta
Percha or other plastic material upon the hoof and upon this I place the warm shoo
applying sufficient pressure to mould the Plastic material, between the hoof and
shoe which latter I fix in the usual manner.
When the Gutta Percha or other material is sufficiently hard I. pare off or

JOINT FOR LEAD AND OTHER SOFT METAL PIPES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, ROBERT IMRAY of Sedgemere East Finchley in the county of Middlesex,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "JOINT FOR LEAD
AND OTHER SOFT METAL PIPES" 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 means of jointing lead or other soft metal pipes to one
another or to nozzles, unions, stopcocks or the like, without the use of solder, as
I will explain referring to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal
section shewing the jointing together of two lead pipes, fig 2 is a transverse section
and fig 3 a plan. On each of the two lengths A A. of pipe that are to be joined,
I place a ferrule B which is slightly tapered inside and has two studs 6 b projecting
from it. By inserting a conical tool into the mouth of each pipe, I open it a little
and I then introduce into the two conically opened mouths the nipple C, which
externally is tapered both ways from the middle and has grooves or screw-threads
cut round it. I then bring the two ferrules B B towards each other and press
them forcibly together, so that they squeeze the soft metal of the pipes around the
nipple C, forcing it more or less into the grooves or screw threads. The ferrules B
may be forced together by hand-vices or screw clamps applied to their studs b.
I find, however, that sufficient tightness and strength of joint can be obtained by
applying to the studs 6 nipper tongs such as are partly indicated by the dotted
lines in figs. 2 and 3. In cases where a pipe has to be jointed to a nozzle, union,
stop-cock or the like, only one of the ferrules B is required, squeezing the metal on
a tapering balf nipple C¹, projecting from or previously screwed into the nozzle
or other fitting, as indicated by the section fig. 4.
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 :-
Jointing lead or other soft metal pipes by clamping their conically opened ends
on a tapered internal nipple by means of tapered external ferrules forced along the
tapered ends of the pipes, substantially as herein described.

page_text: I provide a circular cage or tread-wheel, centred upon the paddle shaft and
connected thereby with the paddle wheels, in a paddle boat, and in a screw boat
an identical cage or tread-wheel centred upon a shaft geared to the screw shaft,
and I introduce within the said wheel a white mouse or other animal, the action
of whose feet while treading upon the bars forming the circumference of the said
wheel produces a rotary motion of the shaft and paddle wheels, or screw, in
ahead direction; I prevent the shaft being turned astern by placing on the axle of
the cage wheel, a ratchet wheel & pawl arrangement.
FOR A PADDLE Boat.
.
The cage or tread-wheel, within which I introduce a white mouse or other
animal, for the purpose of turning the same, is constructed as follows. Two
circular discs, of tin or other metal, are centred upon the paddle shaft, parallel to
each other having a number of wire bars so spaced between the discs, and around
the circumference, as to form during rotation a track convenient to a white mouse,
or other animal, to turn with its feet, and so transmit the propelling power to the
'paddle wheels. The white mouse or other animal is introduced within the cage
wheel, and removed therefrom by means of two or more of the bars in the
circumference, being arranged so as to form a hinged door. In order to prevent
the wheels being turned astern, I place a ratchet wheel upon the paddle shaft, and
a pawl resting lightly upon the top of the same.
FOR A SCREW BOAT.
Upon a second shaft, parallel to and above the screw shaft, and geared to the
same by pinion and spur wheels, or pulleys connected by an india rubber or other
band, I place.a circular cage or tread-wheel identical with the one described above,
and upon the axle of the same, I place a ratchet wheel and pawl, to prevent its
being turned astern.
The application of this invention to the purpose specified herein, is fully
illustrated by the accompanying sketches.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1884.

IMPROVED MEANS OR APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DRAUGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF RAILWAY AND OTHER CARRIAGE DOORS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN WILSON of 193 St. John's Hill, Wandsworth in the County of Surrey
Coach Trimmer do hereby declaro the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVED
MEANS OR APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DRAUGHTS AT THE BOTTOM OF RAILWAY
AND OTHER CARRIAGE DOORS" and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
According to my Invention, draughts are prevented at the bottom of railway
and other carriage doors in consequence of a practically air-tight joint being made
between the door and the floor of the vehicle by means of a piece of india-rubber,
secured either to the door or to the floor or framework of the vehicle, in such a
way that when the door is closed the india-rubber is slightly compressed.
Referring to the accompanying Sheet of Drawings Figs. 1 and 2 shew
respectively in section and plan one method of carrying out my Invention. A is
the india-rubber strip (which may be made of any suitable section) secured to the
floor B by the metal plate C and screws D. The door E shuts against the india-
rubber and makes a practically air-tight joint, excluding draughts. If the strip
is applied to the door instead of the floor, it will be compressed between the door,
and the framework, or a special piece designed for it to abut against. The india-
rubber strip is intended as a substitute for the folded strip of carpet sometimes
used, which retains moisture and becomes rotten and also loses its elasticity and
does not press against the door sufficiently to keep out draughts.
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 application to a railway or other carriage, for the purpose of excluding
draughts under the doors, of indiarubber strips arranged substantially as described
with reference to and illustrated in the accompanying Drawings.

for IMPROVEMENTS IN TICKET HOLDERS AND EYELETS FOR TICKETS to be as
follows:-
:―
The holder has two advantages, it securely holds the ticket and is not liable to
be blown or knocked from off the material to which it hooked. The sketches
attached will show the principal, the side section shows the holder open before the
ticket is attached, the dotted line shows the holder closed, the front part is pressed
down and springs behind the head or beak. The half front view shows that the
part which holds the ticket is flat to prevent the ticket swinging from side to side.
The hook or pin portion is round and about as strong as an ordinary pin, it
hooks into the material like a brooch pin and then goes with a spring against the
Hat part of the holder, the tail is longist so as to prevent it easily shaking off. The
eyelet is like an ordinary one only long instead of round.

page_text: I JOSEPH HARGREAVES BAILEY of 17 Sheffield Road Barnsley in the County
of York Clothier and Pawnbroker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN TICKET HOLDERS AND EYELETS FOR TICKETS and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The holder has two advantages it securely holds the ticket and is not liable to
be blown or knocked off the material it is hooked on to, the sketches will give an
idea. The side section shows you the holder open before the ticket is attached,
the dotted line shows the holder closed, it is pushed down and catches behind the
top or beak. The half front view shows that the holder portion is flat, so that
the ticket will be held firmer and will not be able to swing from side to side, as it
would if it were round. The other or hook portion is round and about as thick as
an ordinary pin, it hooks through cloth or dress materials and back again and the
tail is long so that it cannot easily be knocked from off the said cloth or material,
it also goes with a spring against the back of the holder, the eyelet is like an
ordinary one but is long instead of round.
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
(i) A ticket holder which passes through the ticket and has a tail piece for
securing it to materials, constructed substantially as hereinbefore described.
(ii) A ticket with elongated eyelet for receiving one part of the ticket holder,
(iii) The combination of a ticket holder constructed substantially in the manner
hereinbefore described and a ticket with elongated eyelet, through which the ticket
holder is passed.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CRANK PINS AND CROSSHEAD JOURNALS FOR ALL KINDS OF ENGINES

page_text: I ALFRED BURTON of Manvers Road, Beighton, in the County of Derby, Stoker
do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CRANK PINS
AND CROSSHEAD JOURNALS FOR ALL KINDS OF ENGINES to be as follows:-
In place of the ordinary straight neck in the crank pin and crosshead journal
now in use I propose to introduce a sphere or ball, with brasses to fit upon the
same in order to allow a side motion to the connecting rod in the case of
locomotives running round a curve, thus obviating the necessity of slack play
between the journal and brasses, and the consequent knocking: and in the case
of stationary engines to allow for the straining of the connecting rod, or crank pin.

GRINDING PLATES OR FACES FOR MILLS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLEIE
DEBUIFICATION.
We JOHN WOODS and WALTER JOHN WOODS at the Office for Patents, 323,
High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex Millwrights do hereby declare the
nature of this Invention for "GRINDING PLATES OR FACES FOR MILLS" and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
These plates are made of metal and can be revolved at a higher speed than
stones and a higher periphal velocity obtained thus making a small mill equal
in capacity to a larger slow running stone mill. These plates have also a great
advantage over the conical American mills in which the grain is carried round with
the barrel several times so that it leaves the mill much heated also from the fluted
form of the barrel the bran is cut up very fine and cannot well be separated from
the flour.
In our improved plates the form of rib is such as to admit of the grain entering
between the plates from the centre where it is first broken (the bran coming off
in large pieces) and then gradually reduced until it finally becomes flour, being
made very fine by the outer edges if desired.
The plates are arranged one on top and the other fixed to the spindle of the
mill and can be readily replaced by new ones at little cost much less than that of
re-cutting a pair of mill stones whilst the work done by a pair of these metal
plates is much greater than can be done by a pair of mill stones without
re-cutting.
.
In the accompanying Drawings Figure 1 is an edge view of the plate. Figure 2
a plan of the face. Figure 3 a section on line B. B. Figure 2 and Figure 4 a
section on line A. A. Figure 2. From the plan Figure 2 the general arrangement
of the "dress" of the plate can be understood. Figure 1 shows the peripheral
termination of the "lands" and "furrows" and Figure 4 their construction at the
internal orifice or "eye" of the plate. The "leaders" C. C. extend from the
eye" or inner portion of the plate to the skirt or periphery, the second furrows
extending from the skirt to the leaders or eye (as the case may be) as shown. It
will be noticed that the leaders are cut deeper into the plate near the eye (see
Figure 4) to facilitate the entrance of the grain.
"5
The face of the plate is flat except where recessed by the grooves and the
fineness of the meal can be regulated by the distance between the stones.

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 herein described flat metal plates for grinding mills so grooved or
dressed" that the grain entering at the centre and discharging at the outer
periphery is ground into coarse or fine meal as required.
2. A flat metal grinding plate for mills.
IMPROVEMENTS IN HAMMOCKS
Year: 1884

page_text: RICHARD HARDING HOLMAN, Master of the Grantham Workhouse-Grantham,
Lincolnshire and WILLIAM CARLTON, Draper, London Road-Grantham do hereby
declare the nature of the invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HAMMOCKS to be as
follows:-
A stretcher is placed at the head of the Hammock, to prevent its enveloping the
head and face of the occupant and is covered with the same material that the
Hammock is made of; it is placed three inches from the head line, or extremity of
the Hammock, towards the foot, on the uppermost, or that side of the Hammock
used to lie on, it extends from one side to the other of the Hammock.
A similar stretcher fourteen inches in length is also fixed at the foot of the
Hammock, placed in a like position to that at the head, to prevent undue pressure
on the feet of the occupant.
The Hammock is suspended by a metal ring two inches within, at the head and
foot, attached to which are eight metal S-hooks and chains with eight metal
hooks at the extremities, which hook into eight metal eyelet holes, in the hammock,
both at the head and foot, viz; four holes equally divided on either side the centre
line of the hammock-The two outside, or extreme chains for supporting the hend
of the hammock, with the hooks, are each eight inches long; the two next chains
following these i.e. one on each side as before, with their hooks, are each six inches
long the two next following these are five inches long, and the last two, or
innermost ones, are four inches long.
The suspending chains for the foot of the hammock, with like ring and hooks to
the head suspending chains, are eight in number, being four of six inches long, i.e.
two on each side, for the extremes, or outside holes of the hammock; the two
following these, on each side, five inches long-and two of four inches each; these
last, as at the head, consisting only of one hook, and one S-hook each.

page_text: RICHARD HARDING HOLMAN-Master of the Grantham Union Workhouse
Lincolnshire and WILLIAM CARLTON-Draper-London Road-Grantham-
Lincolnshire do hereby declare the nature of the invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
HAMMOCKS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-to be in the mode of
suspending them, by a head and foot metal ring, attached to which are eight metal
S hooks, chains and hooks to hook into eight metal eyelet holes at the head and
foot of the hammock, being four on each side of the centre line of the hammock,
and by fixing in the hammock a permanent head and foot stretcher, for the
comfort and convenience of the occupant, as shewn in the drawings, accompanying
this complete specification.

IMPROVEMENTS IN RUBBER COVERINGS FOR STAIRS LANDINGS SHIPS' DECKS AND OTHER SIMILAR PLACES
Year: 1884

page_text: I ALEXANDER BROWNE of the firm of Browne and Company of 5 Southampton
Buildings in the County of Middlesex Patents Agents do hereby declare the
nature of the invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN RUBBER COVERINGS FOR STAIRS
LANDINGS SHIPS' DECKS AND OTHER SIMILAR PLACES 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 for its object an improvement in rubber coverings for floors
Stairs Ships' Decks and other places by which such coverings can be easily and
securely fixed down and may also be readily taken up when required.
According to this Invention I form the rubber covering with a backing of canvas
or other suitable flexible material or a combination of such flexible material with
wire this backing being of such a size as to project beyond the edges of the rubber
(where it is desired to fasten it down) and in order that the projecting parts may
be of extra strength I double them over so as to form a double thickness I will
now proceed to describe the way in which my Invention can be carried into
practical effect, I take a certain quantity of compounded India Rubber and run
it out into a sheet of any desired thickness by means of a calender in the usual way
I then take the piece of canvas or other suitable flexible material (that is to form
the backing and flanges for fastening down) and give it a coating of Rubber on
each side in the usual manner I next cut the rubber to the desired size and the
canvas or other flexible material I cut say about 4 inches larger so as to project
beyond the rubber to form the fastening flanges as hereafter stated I then put the
rubber sheet and the canvas or other flexible material (prepared as aforesaid)
together.and in such manner that this latter projects beyond the rubber on each
side about 2 inches the rubber is then rolled firmly to the canvas after which I
double over the protruding canvas or other flexible material in order to form thick
strong flanges which serve to hold the covering in place by means of screws tacks
or otherwise. The covering is vulcanised (after being fixed to the flexible
material) in the usual way. Where extra strength is required wire may be
combined with the flexible backing and flanges.

page_text: I may of course in some cases have the flanges all round the rubber when it is
required to fasten the covering all round.
The rubber may be made of any desired pattern and colour or combination of
patterns and colours.
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 with sheet rubber of a backing of canvas or other flexible
material such backing projecting beyond the rubber so as to form flanges
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
IMPROVEMENTS IN FOLDING ELEVATORS USED FOR RAISING HAY, STRAW AND OTHER SIMILAR ARTICLES
Year: 1884

page_text: WILLIAM HORNSBY of Spittlegate Iron Works Grantham in the County of
Lincoln Agricultural Engineer and ROBERT EDWARDS of Spittlegate Iron Works
Grantham in the County of Lincoln Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FOLDING ELEVATORS USED FOR RAISING
HAY, STRAW AND OTHER SIMILAR ARTICLES to be as follows:-
In elevators in which the trough is made to fold or double over, a hinged joint
is usually employed and its position is such that the elevating chains require to be
let out, before this can be done. To obviate this we make the hinge joint as shown
in the drawing enclosed In Figure 1 instead of the top part of A being directly
hinged to the top part of B we hinge it to the other end of C is then hinged
to B. The link C is also sometimes continued down past the other ends of A & B
and the bolt that is generally fitted through the lower ends of A & B to make the.
trough rigid when unfolded, can be fitted through C also, so as to make the whole
rigid and stiff, The extension of the link C below its junction with the top part
of B is optional. Figure 2 shews the joint when unhinged at the bottom and
allowing the top of A to move towards B.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
WILLIAM HORNSBY of Spittlegate Iron Works Grantham in the County of
Lincoln, Agricultural Engineer and ROBERT EDWARDS of Spittlegate Iron Works,
Grantham in the County of Lincoln Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FOLDING ELEVATORS USED FOR RAISING
HAY STRAW AND OTHER SIMILAR ARTICLES, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In elevators in which the trough is made to fold or double over, a hinged joint
is usually employed and its construction is such that the elevating chains require to
be let out before this can be done, which causes considerable delay and there is
also a risk of the elevating chains being broken through the workmen omitting to
let out the chains when folding up. To obviate this we make the hinged joint as
shown in the drawing. In Figure 1 instead of the top part of A being directly
hinged to the top part of B we hinge it to C. The other end of C is then hinged

page_text: I LOUIS PHILLIP JACOBS of 4 Bury Street, St. Mary Axe, in the city of London,
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "AN IMPROVED
MOUTHPIECE CONNECTION AND STEM SOCKET FOR PIPES USED FOR SMOKING," 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 facilitate an easy and secure method of
attaching a mouthpiece to the stem of a pipe and a ready disconnection of one
from the other.
For the purpose of my invention which I illustrate in Figures 1, 2, and 3 of the
annexed drawings I attach to the amber A or other material of which the mouth-
piece is composed a metal disc or frame B provided with a conical or tapered stem
Ċ threaded for a portion of its length and with an extension D also tapered to serve
as a guide to fit within a plain portion E of the stem F into which it is inserted.
The socket piece G is formed with a conical aperture also threaded to correspond to
the tapered thread C of the mouthpiece.
Instead of having an extension D the conical or tapered stem C¯may be threaded
the whole of its length to fit within a corresponding portion H of the stein Fas
shown at Figure 4 and the said screwed tapered stem may be of any length.
By this invention a simple insertion of the portion C into the portion H enables
the threads of the two screws to find their own meeting threads previous to the
turning for screwing up purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manuer the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The tapered threaded portion C of the mouthpiece to form a connection
with the corresponding taper thread of the socket as described for the purpose set
forth.
AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR FLUSH OR COUNTERSUNK RIVETTING
Year: 1884

page_text: "
I, JOHN FIELDING of The Atlas Works in the city and county of Gloucester,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN IMPROVED
PROCESS FOR FLUSH OR COUNTERSUNK RIVETTING and in what manner tho
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
In applying rivets to countersunk holes so as to form a flush surface, there is
usually considerable difficulty in getting the coned end of the rivet to fit and fill
the countersunk hole, or to avoid the protuberance of the coned head beyond the
general surface after the rivetting is completed.
My invention relates to a method of effecting the process of flush or countersunk
rivetting so as to avoid these difficulties. For this purpose, 1 introduce the rivet
into the hole at the countersunk side, the rivet being made with a coned head,
preferably convex, a little deeper than the countersink, and a little smaller in
its largest diameter. In the first place I apply to this head the pressure of the
rivetting machine, applying the resistance, not to the other end of the rivet which
is left free from pressure but to a washer fork or tube that is held up against the
opposite side of the metal through which the rivet passes. By this first pressure,
I force the coned head of the rivet into the countersink so as to fill it completely,
any surplus metal of the head being forced along the body of the rivet. After the
coned head has thus been dealt with, the pressure is maintained upon it and the
rivetting tool is applied to the other end of the rivet and completes the rivetting.
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
In flush or countersunk rivetting applying in the first place the pressure to the
coned end of the rivet, leaving the other end free, and thereafter completing the
rivetting as and for the purpose herein set forth.

MENTS IN DOUBLE SOUNDING BOARDS FOR PIANOFORTES AND OTHER SIMILAR " MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, CARL MARX, Gentleman of the City of Dresden in the Kingdom of Saxony
and German Empire do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for " IMPROVE
MENTS IN DOUBLE SOUNDING BOARDS FOR PIANOFORTES AND OTHER SIMILAR
"
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 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 improvements in double sounding or sound boards for
Pianofortes and other similar instruments the object of which is to produce a more
powerful continuous or prolonged tone. In order to attain my said object I
employ double sound or sounding boards which are connected to or with each
other in suitable manner.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the double sound board and the frame of a piano.
Figure 2 is a section on the line a, a, a, in Fig. 1..
B is the smaller sound or sounding board to which the bridges A. are fixed and
which said sound board B is connected to the lower larger sound board D by
means of the strips, ledges or rods of wood C which said strips, ledges or rods C are
well glued to the upper sound board B around or in immediate proximity to the
edges of the same and also to the lower or larger sound board D, which said lower
or larger sound board D is firmly connected to the case or frame E of the
instrument.-F, F are the openings in the sound board.
In consequence of the upper smaller sound board B being smaller than the lower
or larger sound board D, so that a space or part of the surface of the latter remains
uncovered by the said upper sound board B, the lower sound board D participates
in or is subjected to the same vibrations as the upper sound board B so that a
fuller tone which continues much longer than can possibly be attained with
ordinary sound boards is achieved, whereby the tone emitted is agreeable to the
ear even when the player causes the hammer or hammers to strike with full force.
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-The construction, arrangement and application of double sounding or sound
boards to pianos and other similar musical instruments consisting of two parallel

page_text: sound boards B and D whereby the upper sound board carries the bridges and is
firmly connected to the lower larger sound board and at a short distance from the
edges of the same by means of a strip, ledge, rod or lath or strips, ledges, rods or
laths of wood C substantially as described in the foregoing specification and shown
in the accompanying drawings.
