Improved Connection for Water-closet Traps and Pipes.
I. MILTON SYER, of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
My invention relates to an improved joint to be used in connection with water
closets and drain pipes to provide a simple but secure joint for connecting the
water closet pan or trap to the lead or earthenware or other suitable drain pipes.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, in which like letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures,
Fig. 1, is a view of the joint connecting the lead soil-pipe to an earthenware or
iron pipe.
Fig. 2, is a section of joint attached to a P trap.
Fig. 3, is a section of joint attached to a S trap.
Fig. 4, represents the front view of the joint.
Parts of the figures are broken off for convenience.
I provide two metal rings or flanges d and an india rubber ring a the flanges
are connected together with bolts e and nuts. When using this said joint I pass
one flange d over the outlet of closet or drain c, then put on the india rubber ring a
and last the other flange d having the lead pipe b bossed over the inside so as to
fit against the rubber ring a then I screw up the bolts e and nuts and a perfect air
and water tight joint is made. I make the rings or flanges on the bevel so as when
screwed up the india rubber ring a is pressed on to the closet outlet.
The advantage of this joint is it can be attached to any closet pan or trap; it
does not require a special closet or trap to fit it.
It will be understood that I do not particularly bind myself to use any material,
size or shape for the joint, as the same may be varied within the scope of my
invention.

An Improved Compound Spring Device.
I, GEORGE WILLIAM GARDINER of 15 Albert Hill, Bishop Auckland in the
County of Durham, 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 an improved compound spring device and consists in
coiling or, as it were, screwing one spiral spring over another, the springs being so
dimensioned that the inner diameter of the outer spring is less than the outer
diameter of the inner spring.
In this manner by screwing either more or less of the coils of the outer spring
onto or off the inner one, the combination of springs is made applicable for with-
standing a greater or less strain and this is effected without the necessity for
altering the length of the springs.
In the accompanying drawing is shown an elevational view, partly in section, of
my improved compound spring device.
Here it will be seen that an outer spring S is coiled or screwed over an inner
spring S¹, and in like manner if necessary or desirable, another spring might be
coiled or screwed over or outside the spring S.
Thus with the centres or ends of the spring remaining the same, this compound
arrangement of spring enables an adjustment of the spring-strength to be made by
simply winding or unwinding the outer coil further onto or off the inner coil.
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 combination of two springs whereof one of them is coiled or wound or
screwed onto or over the other substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The improved compound spring device consisting in the coiling or screwing
successively of one or more springs onto or over an inner spring substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in or connected with Chest Expanding Braces
or Straps.
I, WALTER GREENSHIELDS, of Auckland, New Zealand, Bracist, 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 hygienic shoulderettes, braces, or straps, for expanding
the chest, supporting the back, and improving the figure of the wearer.
According to my invention, I provide two continuous straps of elastic webbing
turned round into loops for the arms. At one end of each strap is a clasp, or
rather portion thereof. At a short distance from the clasp is a button, and at
the opposite end of each strap is a series of button-holes, thus allowing the size of
the loops to be adjusted as required.
My said invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings, wherein
Fig. 1 shews one of the straps ready for buttoning, A being the webbing, B the
clasp or portion thereof, C the button, and D D the button holes.
Fig. 2 is the other strap, the loop being turned in the opposite direction from
the other, thus forming right and left loops for the arms.
Fig. 3 shews the shoulderettes, braces, or straps, on the back of the wearer,
after being clasped in front.
In wearing, the left arm is put through the loop of Fig. 1, and the right arm
through the loop of Fig. 2; the ends are then taken hold of, drawn down tightly,
and clasped in front. The tension may be increased as required by simply taking
in one or more button-boles on each loop.
I do not limit myself to the exact construction of parts above described, so long
as the main features of the invention be retained.
By my invention, an erect and graceful carriage is given to ladies; it affords
great support, and a delightful feeling of elasticity to ladies when walking, riding,
or dancing. It is invaluable to those engaged in sedentary occupations, as it
promotes healthy action of the heart and lungs, and thoroughly prevents that
awkward, stooping, and slouching gait so frequently contracted, and which pre-
disposes to so many heart and lung diseases.
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 shoulderettes, braces, or straps, for expanding the chest and improving the
figure of the wearer, the two straps of elastic webbing formed into loops, all
arranged and acting substantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated
with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Boots and Shoes.

Improvements in Boots and Shoes.
I, ANNA GREBST GLASENAPP, of Riga, in the Empire of Russia 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 refers to improvements in boots or shoes as hereafter described,
whereby the same are manufactured from wire webbing, and thereby rendered
more conducive to health and comfort than heretofore.
According to my invention the wire webbing is made with metal wire not liable
to rust, (zinc wire for example) and is worked into shoes in a manner similar to
leather. The wire webbing which forms the soles consists with advantage of a
stronger wire and is therefore formed of a proportionately coarser webbing than
the wire webbing which forms the upper portion of the shoe.
The union of the sole with the upper is effected by sewing by means of a wire,
or in other suitable manner.
The shoe is or may be provided in the usual manner with a leather or wooden
heel and the upper edges of the upper parts, as well as the flaps for the reception
of the lace holes, are bound with leather or with cloth, in order to cover the sharp
edges of the wire webbing.
The sole may consist of two layers of wire webbing, and the heel part of the shoe
may also consist of double layers of wire webbing.
In the accompanying drawing a shoe, constructed according to my invention.
made of wire webbing is shown in vertical section at Figure 1, and by perspective
view at Figure 2.
a is the fine (nesh) wire webbing forming the upper part, b the sole, c the
binding of the upper part, the front part of which takes the eyelets d for the lace.
The shoe is further provided with a lining e of wool, cotton, or silk material, which
is sufficiently watertight to prevent the entrance of damp, but also sufficiently
porous; the lining is not absolutely necessary, and may in some cases be dispensed
with, the shoe being worn without it.
Boots and shoes made as described of wire webbing are in the highest degree
conducive to health, as the material does not check the perspiration of the foot.
At the same time the wire webbing enables any sore part upon the foot (from corns
or otherwise) to be freed from pressure, by simply pressing out the wire webbing
with the finger, as is shown at g in Fig. 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is
-
The manufacture of boots or shoes from wire webbing, in such manner that both
the upper part, and sole, consist of wire webbing, the shoe being either provided
with a lining or not all substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described
and illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An Improvement in or connected with Pots or Vessels for Liquids.
WILLIAM BROWN of 23 Fenchurch Street in the City of Londou Glass and China
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
An Improvement in or connected with Pots or Vessels for Liquids, the object
being to make three or more teeth or projections instead of the continuous inner
rim under the ordinary cover.
If an ordinary cover is taken the inner rim will be found to prevent the outlet
for the liquids unless a spout is made in the pot or vessel.
I claim my invention in the cover will avoid any spout or lip in the pot or vessel
being required; it will also dispense with the strainer in the pot and thereby
prevent the accumulation of any deposit.

I, WILLIAM BROWN 23 Fenchurch Street City of London Glass and China
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 for an improvement in or connected with pots or vessels for
liquids has for its object to provide a lid or cover for pots or vessels which will
enable the liquids contained therein to be poured off without removing the said lid
or cover and thereby obviate the necessity of providing spouts or other equivalent
outlets for such vessels.
The accompanying drawing illustrates a lid or cover formed in accordance with
my invention.
A cover disc a, instead of being provided with the ordinary continuous lip, is
formed with teeth or projections 6 which, while retaining the cover in position on
the vessel c, leave a series of open spaces or gaps between them.
On tipping the vessel the liquid passes freely out between the projections b.
This form of lid or cover is specially applicable for use with tea tasting pots and
the like vessels.
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 lid or cover for pots or vessels for liquids comprising a cover disc a with teeth
or projections & substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

Improved Apparatus to Facilitate the Damping and Affixing of
Adhesive Labels, Stamps, and the like.
I CURT ZIMMERMANN, of Bautzen in the County of Upper-Lusatia, in the
Kingdom of Saxony, German Empire, 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 is to provide a small apparatus for the better picking
up, and damping or moistening, and affixing postage stamps, adhesive labels, and
the like, and my improvements consist in the use of an elastic hollow body,
furnished at its end with plain surfaces, so as to form the handle, and having a
central sucking hole for producing the intended effect.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawing,
in which :
Figs. 1 & 2 are longitudinal sections, Fig. 3 is a plan view. a is the elastic
body, b is the plain surface above referred to, and c is the sucking hole.
The handling of the apparatus is thus:
It is seized like a stamp, and pressed somewhat together (see Fig. 2). Then the
sucking surface is brought onto the face of the stamp or label; by making the
hand loose, the body is allowed to regain its natural form and produces a strong
sucking effect, whereby the stamp or label is taken up. Now the latter is pressed
against a moist cushion, but without further compressing the hollow body, and
then brought to its place of destination by firmly pressing the hollow body upon
the letter or the like, and simultaneously compressing the hollow body.
Instead of the hollow body I may also employ a hollow cylinder and piston.
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 device for taking up damping and affixing stamps, labels and the like, con-
sisting of an elastic hollow body ending in a flat plane b and provided with a
central suction hole C substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Dynamo Brushes.
I, KARL KOCH, of Elsey, near Hohenlimburg, in Westfalen, in the 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 improvements in dynamo brushes and consists in forming
the same of a number of thin tubes. In lieu of using tubes only, they may also
be used in connection with sheet metal, wire, or wire web, of which material
heretofore dynamo brushes have generally been made.
The advantages resulting from such improved brushes are as follows:-
By less weight and the same size as otherwise, these brushes composed wholly
or partly of tubes, offer considerably more resistance than such made of wire.
The brush can therefore be pressed against the comutator much which
increases the conductive capacity substantially and reduces the wear of the
comutator shaft accordingly, the conductive resistance being largest at the place
of contact.
more,
Such brushes also permit of an easy cleansing, the dust being readily removed
by blowing through the same.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to.
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings, showing a special construction of my
improved brush on the comutator.
Figs. 1 & 2 are diagrams showing the brush on the comutator.
Figs. 3 & 4 are side view and section respectively of the brush separately.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the brush consists of separate pieces of
empty tubes a arranged parallel to each other and surrounded by wire web b, lapped
round the same several times.
This is the form in which it is prefered to carry out the invention.
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-
1st. A dynamo brush, consisting of a number of empty metal tubes a, arranged
parallel to each other, the free ends of which are pressed against the comutator,
substantially as and for the purpose specified.
•
2nd. A dynamo brush, consisting of a number of empty metal tubes a, arranged
parallel to each other, the free ends of which are pressed against the comutator
and around which tubes, wire web 6 is lapped, substantially as and for the purpose
specified.

Improved Means of Locking Nuts.
I, THOMAS COLLIER of 68 Mitchell Street, Radford in the County of
Nottingham, Tool-hand, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and effective means of
locking nuts ou bolts to prevent the same becoming loose through vibration or
other causes.
In carrying out my invention I drill or otherwise form a hole in the nut so
that the inside edge of such hole communicates or very nearly communicates
with the thread formed on the inside of the nut. In the near inside of this
hole I place a cottar or wedge having a bulge or swell thereon at the point which
is nearest to the thread of the bolt, behind this cottar or wedge I use a second
wedge for giving tension on the bolt, this latter being driven or wedged up as
more tension is wanted.

Improved Automatic Break for Perambulators, Bassinettes, and
Invalid Carriages.
I, GEORGE WILLIAM PRIDEAUX 2 Grove Cottages Manor Street Chelsea S. W.
Fitter 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 object is to supply a simple but effective self acting break, which can be
supplied to the public at a small cost, and which can be easily attached to those
carriages, and does not require the aid of a skilled mechanic to fix them and by
these means reduce the number of accidents that occur to the occupants of those
carriages. To be effective a break should be self acting without the aid of springs,
which are liable to get out of order and not act when wanted and I claim to have
met those requirements by my invention, which I now proceed to describe in detail
and by the aid of the accompaniment drawing.
On the axle of the hind wheels 1 fix two pieces of iron by means of a
screw (Fig. A) to carry arms or levers, working on a pivot or rivet (Fig. B) as
these arms or levers are made longer from B to the centre of the carriage, its
weight causes it to drop and the other end to rise and insert itself into one of the
slots of a flange (Fig. C) which is attached to the outside of the hub of hind
wheel. In the manufacture of new wheels, this flange could be cast on, thus still
further reducing the cost, but in order to fix them easily to existing carriages, I
provide 2 plates (Fig. D) which lap each other having holes corresponding with
those in Fig. C those are placed inside the hub of wheel and fixed with bolts and
nuts from to D a small grove should be made in the hub so that the bolt may
lay in and thus prevent any strain on the spokes. A leather strap or other suitable
article is placed at each end of handle (Fig. E) having a centre line passing over
2 small pulleys (Fig. F) and attached to the centre of a small chain or other
connection of the 2 arms or levers (Fig. G). On the person in charge grasping
the handle they cause the arms or levers to rise and release the other end from
the slot in the flange C on releasing the handle it instantly inserts itself in the slot
and thus prevents the wheel from turning.
Having now 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 means or apparatus for breaking or locking the wheels of those carriages
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying sheet
of drawing.
