A New or Improved Draught Preventer for Window Sashes
and the like.
I WILLIAM HENRY THRIFT of 53 Grove Road, Mile End, Middlesex, Ships-
Composition 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 :-
It consists of a spring of steel or other suitable material upon which a soft pad
of felt or other suitable material backed by some stout fabric or webbing is secured
by stitching or otherwise.
The ends of the spring may be formed as is found most convenient and a catch.
employed to hold the draught preventer in position.
When not required it can be entirely removed, and may be used in any similar
position.
To make my invention clear I will now refer to the drawings in which similar
letters refer to similar parts throughout.
Figures 1 and 2 represent two views of the spring which I find convenient in
shape, but I do not confine myself to any precise form.
Figures 3 and 4 show the draught preventer as manufactured, but in Figure 3.
the parts marked A and B, which are also indicated in plan in Figure 5, show
where the pad is cut away to clear the sash of a window and the fastener for
securing it when shut. The position of B must of course be varied to suit the
position of the fastener and when the upper sash is divided into two or more
panes recesses similar to D must be cut away to suit the wood work.
Figures 6 and 7 show a catch, which in a window is secured to the lower
sash and which pivots on the centre C, for securing the draught preventer in
position.
The method of using the draught preventer is exceedingly simple. After
fitting it in position I place it so that the sash shall fit into the recesses A,.
press it down and then turn the catch round so as to hold it in position.
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 draught preventer constructed of some soft material such as felt which is
secured to a spring and which when pressed down and held by any convenient catch,.
covers the passage through which air would otherwise pass substantially as.

An Improvement in and relating to Compounds for Destroying or
Removing Old Paints.
I, EWALD TESSEN, of Rostock, in the Grand-Duchy of Mecklenburg, German
Empire, 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 compound for destroying or removing old paints,
especially such that are present on wood. By the use of the compounds known up
to now for the purpose in question, there is destroyed not only the paint, but the
surface of the wood, too. The purpose of my improvements, therefore, is to
prevent the wood from being affected by the respective compound. I attain this
purpose, briefly stated beforehand, by finely distributing within the compound,
paraffine-oil in an unsaponified state, said oil having the property of filling the
pores of the wood, and of protecting thereby the fibres of the latter.
In order to carry my improvement into effect, I first provide a weak soap by
combining linseed-oil with a caustic lye. This soap is mixed with the paraffine-oil,
and the liquid mass so attained is turned into a mass of unguentary consistency by
the addition of a sufficient quantity of hydrate of lime.
In this mass the paraffine oil is contained in a state of finest distribution; the
properties of said oil, however, are unchanged. That mass is introduced into, and
mixed with, the compound proper, whereby no alteration whatever in the state of
the oil is effected. The compound proper is generally composed of carbonate of
lime, caustic alkali, and a paste made of starch or flour.
My improved compound is specially intended for cleansing fermenting-vats as
used in breweries i.e. for freeing the same from the old coating of lacquer, and from
the so-called beer-stone. Even a very old coating is perfectly dissolved within a
time of from 15 to 20 minutes.
Concerning the relative quantities of the various components, I prefer the
following proportions:

page_text: Having now particularly described the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
The method of manufacturing a compound for destroying and removing old
coatings of paint, lacquer and the like, consisting in adding to the ordinary
compound used for that purpose a soap produced by combining linseed oil with a
caustic lye, adding thereto paraffine oil, and mixing this mass with hydrate of lime,
substantially and for the purpose as described.

A. communication by JOHANN ADAM HUCK, of Schweinau, near Nuremberg, in
the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSOx, F.C.S., M.L.M.E., of The Agency for
Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6 Bank Street, Manchester,
both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn in the County of
Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In place of the method hitherto employed for making hand-bells and cow-bells
in cast bronze, by this invention such bells are drawn or stamped from sheet
steel.
Such steel bells are shown on the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 being a longitudinal section of a hand bell, and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section of a cow-bell made in a similar form.
The bells are drawn or stamped in a cup shape from moderately thick steel
sheets to correspond with the usual shapes employed for bells, and the shank or
the eyelet respectively is subsequently inserted. When the steel casing a has been
prepared, is turned off at its outer edge and receives at the top a flat hole in
which the shanke or the eyelet is inserted. For this object the shank or the
eyelet has a larger projection, which in turn passes into a smaller projection, which
is shaped into a ring or eyelet for the tongue d of the beil. After the insertion of
the parts b, they are fastened in the bell by means of the tapering parts c by
strokes of a chisel against both sides of the inner eyelet. The part may be also
hard soldered to a without the tone of the bell being affected. In the bell shown
in Figure 1, the part is formed into a shank e so that by placing a handle thereon
a good hold is obtained for the hand bell. When made of suitable forms and
dimensions, bells drawn or stamped from a sheet of steel give a pure tone and they
may be suitably tuned.

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 correspondent, I declare that what I claim is-
Improved hand-bells, cow-bells and the like drawn from sheet steel with a shank
or eyelet fixed in the top by being inserted and then expanded by a few strokes of
a chisel from the interior, such shank or cyclet serving simultaneously for receiving
the tongue of the bell substantially as described and illustrated.

to be as follows:-
My said invention relates to improvements in the handles for cycles perambu-
lators and other light vehicles guided or propelled by hand.
According to my said invention I make the body of the handle of unyielding
or substantially unyielding material such as wood, cork, vulcanite or solid or
hollow metal. In the said unyielding part of the handle I turn or otherwise
form annular transverse grooves into, which I spring rings or collars of india-
rubber or the like elastic or semi-elastic material; one or more of the said
rings projects above the surface of the body of the handle and thus the whole
handle affords a more secure gripping surface for the hand than in the case of
a handle having a uniform contour.
The inserted rings can be easily replaced if required.
The rings may be made of various sections.

page_text: Fifth. I place the finely reduced mixture in a furnace preferably of the Thwaite
revolving gas fired type, and drive off or volatilize the sulphur, or by the
employment of an oxidising character of combustion I oxidise the sulphur to
sulphurous or sulphuric acid.
The equation may be thus described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I claim as novel features of
my invention.
First. The process for effecting the desulphurization of sodic sulphate sub-
stantially as herein before described.
Second. The employment of a Thwaite or other type of revolving furnace in
combination with an oxidising character of combustion for effecting the volatilization
or oxidation of the sulphur, substantially as hereinbefore described.

in and by the following statement :-
I cast or otherwise form, a shoe of rubber or rubber composition (preferably
that usually employed for rubber tyres for wheels) which may have canvass or
other material inserted. This shoe may be about the same shape & thickness as the
ordinary iron horse shoe. This I fasten to the hoof by means of nails or otherwise..
The toe of the shoe I make of iron or steel or other metal which may be placed
next the hoof or with a thin pad of rubber or leather between the hoof and the
iron or metal "tip."
I may place leather next to the hoof of the horses foot, and may introduce wire.
or metal in the rubber to stifen the shoe. I furnish drawing to show my invention..

India Rubber Cushion for Chair Legs.
WILLIAM FRANK TAYLOR Engineer, No. 2 Abney Street Sheffield in the
County of York do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :--
The application of india rubber to the bottom of chair legs in order to prevent
uoise and oscillation on unlevel floors also slipping on a smooth surface.

WILLIAM FRANK TAYLOR.
I, WILLIAM FRANK TAYLOR, 2 Abney Street Sheffield in the County of York,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The object of my invention of an elastic cushion affixed to the extreme lower end
of the legs of chairs is to prevent noise when moving chairs about, and to avoid
oscillation or rocking upon uneven floors.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1, represents the lower end of a chair leg with a rubber cushion attached.
Fig. 2, vertical section of same.
Fig. 3, a modification of same.
It is obvious that a cushion of rubber may be affixed to the end of a chair leg by
various means, one which I prefer I have shown in Figs. 1 & 2. Upon the end of
the leg A, I fit a ferrule B, of any kind of metal, such as brass, and having an
open end for the rubber cushion C, to project through.
The cushion C, is made flat at the top, and semispherical underneath, with a
surrounding flange C³, which is gripped between the ferrule and the bottom of the
leg A.
In some cases the cushion so formed may be secured by means of a washer, pins
or screws being passed through the washer and the flange of the cushion upwards
into the leg.
In Fig. 3, the cushion C, is made without a flange, but with a central recess D,
a screw being passed through a washer and then through a small hole in the
cushion and finally screwed into the leg.
A chair so provided with elastic cushions may be moved about in a concert room
for example, without causing any noise or annoyance, and upon uneven ground or
floor will adjust itself automatically and thus will stand firm without oscillation or
rocking.
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
:laim is:
1. The combination with a chair leg, of an elastic cushion, affixed thereto in the

page_text: manner as hereinbefore described and as illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2 of the annexed
drawings.
2. The combination with a chair leg, of an elastic cushion, affixed thereto in the
manner as hereinbefore described, and as shown in Fig. 3, of the annexed
drawings.
3. A rubber cushion affixed to the extreme end of a chair leg for the purpose as
herein before specified.

ERNEST LANAWAY, and HARRY WALTER LANAWAY trading as T. Lanaway
& Sons 26 Station Road Redhill in the County of Surrey, Ironmongers and
Engineers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in constructing a metal frame made with a cross-bar in
the shape of the letter X at the top & bottom and connected together by means
of 4 V shaped or grooved metal stays, which slide on 4 V shaped runners fixed on
the inside of the metal canister, and thereby forming a rigid frame for the wire
cage to revolve in.
To reduce the weight if necessary the top and bottom bars instead of being
✗ shaped may be straight thereby only requiring 2 V shaped stays instead of 4 to
slide on 2 runners instead of 4 in canister.
The above can be made in any material preferably malleable iron.
We, ERNEST LANAWAY HARRY WALTER LANAWAY 26 Station Road,
Redhill Surrey 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 constructing a metal frame with a crossbar in shape of
the letter X at the top and bottom and connected together by means of 4 V grooved
metal stays which slide on V shaped runners fixed on the inside of the metal
canister and thereby forming a rigid frame for the wire cage to revolve in.
To reduce the weight the top and bottom bar instead of being X shaped may be
straight, therefor only requiring two V shaped stays instead of four to slide into
canister. The above can be made in any metal preferably malleable iron.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we now refer to the annexed
drawings in which :-
Figure 1. is a perspective view of our invention.

a are the cross bars having the recesses b in the frame 9 which engage on the
projections c in the canister e. The dotted lines d represent the position of the
rotating case or cylinder; the bearings of which engage in the aperture e¹ and
support f. It will be seen that the frame g & a can be readily removed from the
canister e when required, as the recesses b slide upon the corresponding projections e
in the canister e.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. In honey extractors, a frame carrying the rotating cylinder; having grooves
or recesses which engage on projections in a canister or casing into which said

An Improved Transparent Advertising Tablet.
I, HENRY SOMERVILLE FEARON of 6 Great Winchester Street London, Civil
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the manufacture of advertising signs or tablets wherein glass is employed in
order that a design or embossment or some brilliant or attractive lettering may be
conspicuous through it the liability of the glass to become broken or cracked in
storage or transit is an acknowledged disadvantage and my improvement is intended
to obviate this.
In my improved tablet I substitute for the glass a sheet of transparent celluloid
upon which 1 print or otherwise form in suitable colors the portion of the design
which, if glass were employed, would be stencilled or transferred upon, leaving as
in the case of glass, such portions free from the colour as may be necessary to show
through it, say bright gold or other letters fixed at the back, or crushed or
embossed foil or any sufficiently effective material may be so fixed to appear as
letters through the transparent celluloid.
I do not claim any feature of novelty in a transparent tablet as such, my
improvement consisting exclusively in the substitution for the fragile glass of an
unbreakable substance which is printed or transferred upon direct and employed in
the manner indicated.
