Year: 1897

page_text: Date of Application, 19th June, 1897-Accepted, 24th July, 1897
Improved Means or Method of Securing Flanges on Weavers' and
Warpers' Beams, and Apparatus therefor.
We, JOHN WITHAM of Tinsley Mill, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton
Manufacturer, JAMES LORD of 50, Crowther Street, Burnley aforesaid, Overlooker, and
JOHN THOMAS BOOTH of 16, Dall Street, Burnley aforesaid, Overlooker, 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 is designed to secure by simple means firmly and truely the
flanges of weavers' and warpers' beams. Instead of the usual wedges for fixing the
flange on the beam we employ a split bush which is introduced between the collar
of the flange and the beam, the latter being formed slightly taper at the end. The
split bush and flange are now forced on the beam by apparatus designed by us for
that purpose.
This apparatus consists of a kind of hollow ram or sleeve sliding in a suitable
holder or guide, and operated by a screw handle or wheel.
Our invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying sheet of
drawings :-
--
Fig. 1 represents the split bush as aforesaid.
Fig. 2 represents the said split bush and flange together, and apparatus employed
for forcing them on the beam.
An upright standard A is formed with a cylindrical guide or holder B. Within
this cylindrical holder B slides the hollow ram or sleeve C, which is worked by screw
shaft D, operated by crossbar handle E. The split bush F is placed in the mouth of
the holder B as shewn, and the bean G being slightly taper allows it to be
introduced between it and the shoulder H of the flange J, which is now held by any
suitable means until the split bush F is driven home.
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 improved split bush for securing flanges on wrap beams, substantially as
described and illustrated in Fig. 1.
2. Our improved split bush in combination with the apparatus employed for forcing
the same between the flange and beam, substantially as described and shewn in
Fig. 2.

I, CARL FRIEDRICH LÜCKE, of the Firm of C. F. Lücke, Publishers, of
Johannisgasse 3, Leipzig, in the Empire of 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:-
This invention relates to albums for collecting or holding cards in the frames or
leaves of which intended for receiving these cards there are cut in a peculiar manner
double slots, by means of which the fastening of the cards is rendered possible at
convenient places, for instance, by their corners on both sides of the leaf.
In the annexed drawing, Fig. 1 shows the opened album with cards detachably
mounted therein; Fig. 2 shows the back of a leaf of Fig. 1 equally with cards
mounted therein.
The slots serving for fastening the cards are so cut that they form straps which
can be raised from the frame and by means of the arrangement of these two cuts
made parallel to one another and forming bands, cards can be fixed by their corners
on both sides of the sheet.
It is indifferent whether the slots are straight, as at a or formed in curves 6, or
in combined curves d or in any other lines.
The cards are put in by raising the band f formed between the cuts and by
introducing the corner of the card under the band in such a manner that the point
appears again on the upper side of the sheet.
The same process is repeated for the remaining corners.
The outer cut, which opens freely also on the back of the sheet is used for
fastening a card, Fig. 2, on that side of the sheet.
The slots may be parallel to one another or not, or may be produced in any way
and arranged at any place in so far as the fastening of the cards in the manner
above described is made possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A card album, having in the frames intended for the cards double cuts made
next to one another, straight or curved, whereby the cards can be fixed, for instance
by the corners on both sides of the sheet as herein described.

Improvements relating to Cycle Handles or Covers therefor.
I, ALBERT FRANK, of Sendlinger Oberfeld, 39, Munich, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a covering for cork cycle handles and has for its
purpose the protection of the handles without loosing the advantages of the cork,
and at the same time greatly improving their appearance.
This covering consists of two tightly fitting cup like metal jackets which are
slid on one from each end of the handle and fastened at its centre in an appropriate
manner.
,
These jackets are punched out of thin sheet metal at the same time having a
number of holes or perforations cut out of the metal in such a manner as to form
a suitable pattern.
The arrangement of the holes forming the pattern is such that owing to the
tightly fitting nature of the jacket the rider has principally only the elastic cork
in the hand.
The jacket may be ornamented in any manner by engraving, etching, stamp-
ing etc.
Improvements relating to Cycle Handles or Covers therefor.
I, ALBERT FRANK, of 39, Sendlinger-Oberfeld, Munich, (Bavaria), Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to a cover for cork handles, for cycles guide bars,
intended to protect these handles without destroying the advantages of the cork
and to give them a more attractive appearance. This cover consists of a number
of metallic bands which are placed in lines of different directions on the cork handle
and suitably fastened to it.
In the annexed drawing a method of construction of said handles is shown.
Fig. 1 shows an elevation of a handle.
Fio 2 is a sectional view of the, same.

page_text: As to be seen, the bands a are punched in two sockets a¹ of sheet iron, which are
adjusted on the handle.
These bands a placed in different directions are joined at their top by a. ring,
which consequently forms one piece with these bands and the socket.
These pierced sockets are slid from the two sides on to the handle and fixed
there suitably.
The arrangement and number of the bands a are such that the cyclist feels
in his hands only the elastic cork and that therefore the advantages of the cork
handle are not diminished.

Improvement in Violins and other Stringed Musical Instruments.
We, WILHELM HONINGS, Musician, of 6 Bergheimerstrasse, and FRITZ SOMMER,
Musician and Professor of Music, of 22 Glockhammer, both at Neuss on the
Rhine, 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: —
This invention has for its object to increase the resonance of stringed instruments
and thereby the strength or penetration of the sound produced by the same.
For this purpose, we insert into the body or sounding box of the instrument a
freely projecting tongue of considerable size, as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings, of which Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a string instrument embody-
ing our invention; Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is a section of the
tongue on a larger scale.
The said tongue z is fastened at one end to the lower stay or block k, and may
be further supported by one or more lugs or bars attached to the said stay or
near the same. Any other suitable device may, however, be employed to attach
the said tongue on one side, so that it will be free to vibrate in the interior of
the body or sounding box.
The said tongue is preferably concave in cross section, as shown by Fig. 3,
but its shape and size depend, of course, on the nature and size of the musical
instrument.
By playing on the instrument, the projecting tongue is caused to vibrate, and
its vibrations are transmitted to the entire sounding box.
In some cases two or more vibrating tongues may be attached to the interior
of the sounding box, and it is found in practice, that their application will not
only increase the intensity, but will also improve the quality of the sound given
but by the instrument.
Having now particularly ascertained and described the nature of our said In-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
laim is:-
In violins and other stringed musical instruments, a vibrating tongue or
ongues fixed in the sounding box or body of the instrument so as to project
reely into the sounding space, in order to improve the quality and increase the
trength of the sound, substantially as described.

London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An arrangement for causing an upward current of air in a flue, chimney or
ventilator by action of the wind.
A tube, of any size, is fitted with a truncated cone, the truncation being
sufficiently large to fit the top of said tube and be level with it. The cone to
stand out from the tube at an angle of 45°.
This invention may be made loose, in metal to fit existing chimney tops on it
may be made as a chimney top itself.
JOHN PEERS.
Penketh, Warrington.
I, JOHN PEERS, of "The Haws," Penketh, Warrington, Lancashire, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
According to this invention the action of the wind is utilized to cause an upward
current of air in a flue, chimney, or ventilator, in the manner hereunder described.
Around the orifice of the chimney or ventilator top b, shewn in the annexed
drawing, I attach or form a truncated cone, the iucline of which forms an angle
of 45° or thereabouts with the horizontal plane. The truncation of the cone a
must coincide with the orifice of the chimney or ventilator top b.
In operation, wind coming from any point on the horizon strikes the surface
of the cone a and is deflected in an upward direction. This action results in a
rarefaction of the air about the orifice of the chimney top and so causes an up-
draft therein.
Made in earthenware the cone a will form part of the chimney top, and simi-
larly in cast metal. When made of sheet metal, the cone may be rivetted to the
chimney or ventilator top, or be otherwise suitably attached thereto.
In all cases the orifice around which the cone a is fitted, will be circular, and to
adapt the invention to square chimney pots or other up-casts, or pots of other

page_text: shapes, I specially form the part 6 to fit thereon. Namely, the part 6 will have a
circular orifice, whilst the base will be square or other cross section, so as to fit
over existing chimney pots of square or other cross section.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1.
claim is:-
A chimney or ventilator top whose orifice is provided with a depending flange
in the form of a truncated cone possessing an angle of about 45°, the truncation
of which cone coincides with the orifice of the chimney or ventilator top, whereby,
wind is deflected upwards and causes a rarefaction and up-draft in the chimney or
ventilator, substantially as described with reference to the annexed drawing.

page_text: The two disks, that is, the disks of both sides of the frame, and the axle are
clamped rigidly together by the respective nuts and the cone bearings m, so that
a spanner applied to one disk will shift both alike, said disks being a little thicker
than the rings so that the nuts and cones will not bind on the rings.
It will be seen that while the parting of the ring may be located otherwise than
opposite the section h, and still the ring may be opened by bending at a part not
between the members b, c, yet the bending will be more difficult and not so accurate
as when the members b, c, are available as levers by which to effect the bending, and
the device is not so symmetrical as when the parting and the clamping jaws are
opposite the locality of the junction of the two members b and c with the ring or
thereabout, and it is to be noted that the ring is stronger and more symmetrical than
a clamping ring having two opposite partings and two sets of jaws, and bolts for
clamping the parts together, and the disk is more securely held than a disk having
a groove in its face with which the clamping bolt engages at one point only.
Although we have represented the rings as having the grooves and the disks as
being ribbed for the locking device, it is manifest. that the rings may have the ribs
and the disks may be grooved, and we do limit ourselves to either arrangement.
-
The rib is somewhat exaggerated in its radial dimension in the drawing to show
it more distinctly. In practice a rib of a sixty-fourth of an inch radially or even
less is ample for securely keeping the disk in the ring, but may be larger without
requiring undue opening of the ring for inserting it, or causing distorting effect
on the ring.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-

claim is :-
1. In an eccentric chain adjusting axle carrying device for cycle driving wheels,
the combination of disks eccentrically perforated for the axle, and ring terminals of
the frame for carrying, said disks, said disks and rings being ribbed and grooved for
interlocking, and said rings being parted transversely at one side and adapted at the
side opposite thereto to be bent open for reception of the disks and be closed thereon,
and means for clamping the parted ring terminals on and holding the inserted disks
substantially as described.
2. In an eccentric chain adjusting axle carrying device for bicycle driving wheels,

I, The Right Honourable DOUGLAS MACKINNON BAILLIE HAMILTON COCHRANE,
EARL OF DUNDONALD, of 34 Portman Square, in the County of London, 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 the construction of a wheeled vehicle which may be
drawn by a camel, serving as an ambulance or for carrying passengers or baggage,
and which can be readily taken apart and packed upon the cainel where there are
no roads suited for wheeled traffic, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings, which are perspective views.
Figure 1 shews the vehicle by itself in side view, Figure 2 shews it in front view;
Figure 3 shews the camel yoked to the vehicle which is provided for ambulance
purposes with a tilt. Figures 4 and 5 are right and left side views shewing the parts
of the vehicle packed on the camel for transport.
The vehicle consists of a light frame made of tubes carried on four wheels. The
two front wheels have their axle bearings in forks, from each of which an arm
projects forwards, the two arms connected by a steering rod. To the middle of this
rod is attached the rear end of the pole, the front end of which is make as a fork,
having the ends of its prongs connected by a piece of rope, the middle part of which
is attached to the rear of the camel's saddle so as to give a certain elasticity to the
connection of the pole to the saddle. From a collar on the camel's neck, traces
extend back to the ends of the steering rod.
The frame of the vehicle is floored over by boards, or a light fraine of cane, covered
with canvas, or other light material can be used, framed together to make a flooring
which for transport is fixed upright on the one side of the camel as shewn in Figure 5.
The two front wheels being hung in front of it. The tube framing is divided into
two parts which with the hind wheels are fixed on the other side of the camel as
shewn in Figure 4. The vehicle may be provided with a tilt as shewn in Figure 3,
consisting of canvas or other suitable fabric supported on a light frame, which as
well as the canvas is packed on the camel along with the other parts.
Although I have described my invention as especially applicable to camel traction,
obviously by making the parts on a suitable scale it might be adapted for traction
by other animals.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
aud in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :—

Improvement in Incandescent Electric Lamps.
I, ARTHUR WOODLEY, Electrical Engineer, 90, Cannon Street, City of London,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to the method of "treating or "flashing" incandescent
electric lamp filaments, whereby they can be worked at higher temperatures
without disintegration, consequently are more economical in consumption of
power.
This is effected by depositing on the carbon, or compound filament, a coating,
by raising it to incandescence in the presence of acetylene gas.
Improvement in Incandescent Electric Lamps.
I, ARTHUR WOODLEY, of 90, Cannon Street, in the City of London, Electrical
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:-
I take any suitable filament advantageously made from gelatinous cellulose and
carbonize it in the usual manner and place it in a suitable closed vessel (advan-
tageously a glass vessel) from which the air is afterwards exhausted-means being
provided to pass an electric current through said filament.
I then pass an electric current through said filament and raise the latter to a
high temperature in the presence of acetylene gas the latter being suitably ad-
mitted (from a separate chamber) to the said exhausted vessel containing the
filament.
-The operation is continued until the coating on the filament has reduced the
resistance of the filament to the desired degree-this being determined in any
well-known or suitable manner.
I find it advantageous to use the acetylene gas in a more or less rarefied form.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
-
1. In the manufacture of incandescent electric lamp filaments—the employment
of acetylene gas for the purposes set forth.
2. In the manufacture of incandescent electric lamps-subjecting the carbon

tially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. Incandescent electric lamps with the filaments thereof produced in the
manner and by the means herein before set forth.

We JAMES EDWARD BEDFORD and CILARLES SAMUEL BEDFORD both of 27
Kirkstall Road Leeds in the County of York Chemists 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 has for its object the preparation of varnishes from gum kauri
without previous fusion of the gum as has hitherto been practised the object of
which is to render it soluble in turpentine and drying oils.
The fusion of the gum as at present carried out entails considerable loss and the
resultant varnishes are more or less discoloured by the brown decomposition
products formed by the high temperature employed.
We find that certain oil acids especially those from linseed oil and castor oil
possess a very great power of liquifying gum kauri. When powdered gum kauri
is heated with half its weight of linseed oil acids to 110-125° Centigrade a
reaction sets in whilst a volatile aromatic oil is evolved & the mass becomes liquid.
This reaction gradually subsides and after 4 to 6 hrs. heating the melt may bo
reduced by addition of a hot mixture of turpentine & drying oil to the requisito
consistency for varnish.
The oil acids are prepared by saponifying the corresponding oil with a caustic
alkali as in the preperation of soap & liberating the oil acids by means of a
mineral acid. After washing with water the oils are stored in wood cisterns
for use.
The following is an example of the way in which we prepare a varnish suitable
for floor cloth:
In a steam jacketted enamelled iron vessel provided with a stirring device are
placed 200 lbs. powdered gum kauri and 100 lbs. oil acids prepared by thoroughly
saponifying baltic linseed oil. The mass is heated by means of pressure steam in
the jacket & maintained at a temperature of 125° C. for 4 to 6 hours.
From a pan standing at a higher level are then run in with constant stirring
a heated mixture of 700 lbs. turpentine 150 lbs. linseed drying oil (boiled or
oxidised and containing driers such as litharge or manganese borate) 200 lbs.
resin spirit and 100 lbs. petroleum spirit.
After heating & stirring the mixture for an hour it is run off into a tank to
clarify. The varnish is then ready for use.
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 use of oil acids of linseed and castor oils as solvents for kauri gum in the
preperation of elastic products suitable for the manufacture of varnish.

page_text: 2. The preperation of the elastic product and the varnish therefrom in th
manner herein described.

Improvements in Metallic Bedsteads, and in the Manufacture of
the same.
I SAMUEL ILSLEY WHITFIELD of Leyland Cottage Claverdon Warwick in
the County Warwick Manager 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 has for its object "Improvements in metallic bedsteads and in the
manufacture of the same and refers particularly to bedsteads in which brass
forms a component part, and by which I reduce the cost of manufacture without in
any way affecting their appearance.
For the better illustration of my invention I have appended hereunto a sheet of
drawings upon which
Figure 1 is a view of one pillar of the foot of a bedstead.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view of the casing detached.
The junctions of bedsteads required to be cased with brass have hitherto been
manufactured so that the caps for covering the moldings A and D' are slid on over
the top and bottom of the pillar a band of similar metal being placed at D between
the two, but in cases where a molding is formed on the bottom of the pillar as
shewn at E this is impracticable and my invention is for the purpose of obviating
this difficulty.
In carrying my invention into effect I stamp out a half round casing as shewn.
at Figure 3 having the half round molding D₁ stamped in one piece with it the
said molding being made to fit the molding of the pillar. This casing fits on the
pillar in such a manner that it covers the exposed parts D and D¹ of the junction
and is secured in position at the top by the overlapping of the collar A at a¹ and at.
the bottom by the screw d. It will thus be seen that it is possible to have a.
molding E on the pillar and at the same time, case the exposed parts of the junction
at a less cost than hitherto.
I may vary the mode of securing my casing to the junction or pillar without
departing from the nature of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said.
invention and in what the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. In metallic bedsteads and the manufacture of the same the casing of the
junction substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn.

page_text: embossing. We do not limit ourselves to the particular shape or form
shown by the drawing; the shape of the new buckle may be round, oval, rect-
angular square or oblong or polygonal. The novelty of the invention consists in
the making of the buckle of two or more pieces which are so combined that they
strengthen each other so that the upper part, having to be made of expensive metal,
can be very light and that it can be provided with ornaments of various design.
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 a buckle or clasp for ladies belts and the like in combination with an upper
piece (A) having turned up edges (B) and a cavity (C) for taking up ornaments
of glass or enamel, photographs, pictures or the like, a lower piece (E) of corre-
sponding shape, said lower piece being held together with the upper piece by
bending down said edges B upon the lower piece, a strap (F) fixed to the lower
piece and having a hook (G) at one side and forming a loop at the other side, the
whole as described and illustrated and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Apparatus for Drying Grain, Cocoa, and other.
Produce.
I, CHARLES ROBERT WESTERN, of Broadway Chambers, Westminster, in the County
of London, 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 :—
This invention relates to apparatus for drying grain, cocoa and other produce as I
shall describe with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a side
elevation, Fig. 2 is a plan partly sectional and Fig. 3 is a transverse section on an
enlarged scale of apparatus according to my invention.
I provide an annular table A formed of wire network, and mount it so that it can
be made to revolve on a vertical axis, running on rails B B¹ projecting down from
it on wheels C C. Under it there are arranged heating pipes D or other extended
surfaces heated by steain or hot water; and over the table there is a dome-shaped
cover E to which are attached radial branch pipes G leading to the suction fan F.
Also over the table A are mounted in suitable bearings a number of radial shafts H
having projecting arms which, as they revolve, nearly touch the surface of the
table.
The table A being caused to revolve by a suitable motor, the grain or other
produce is delivered on it from a hopper K. After the table is covered, its revolution
is continued while the fan F causes heated currents of air from below to ascend
through the meshes of the table and the interstices of the material on it, which is
kept stirred by the revolving arms H. When the material is thus sufficiently dried,
discharge doors L are opened and inclined or curved guiding blades M are lowered on
to the table, from which, as it continues to revolve, the material is delivered into shoots
leading to suitable recipients R.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Drying apparatus, substantially as described with reference to the drawings.

Improvement in the Treatment of Wooden Surfaces.
I, HERMANN BUYTEN, Manufacturer, of 9, Wehrhahn, Dusseldorf, in the German
Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This invention has for its object, to impart to wooden surfaces a peculiar
appearance, similar to that of ancient objects.
I cause the grain of the wood to appear above the rest by destroying the softer
portions, which is conveniently effected by means of a sandblast. Either the piece
of work is caused to pass uniformly across the stationary nozzle of a sandblast
apparatus, or the sandblast nozzle is guided across the surface of the wood, until
the soft portions of the wood has been removed from the surface, while the grain
remains more or less intact, owing to its greater hardness or cohesion.
Soft wood is more suitable for this treatment, than hard wood, and the sand
may be projected against the wooden surface by means of compressed air or
steam, or by means of mechanical beaters or by other known methods.
