Improved Instruments for Steering Steamers, Sailing Ships and
Boats, and other Vessels.
I, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Walmer Buildings Water Street Liverpool in the County
of Lancaster, Ship Owner, 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 for steamers sailing ships boats and other
navigable vessels steering instruments or rudders so constructed that the directive
power is amplified.
•
The invention consists essentially in attaching to the blades of ordinary or supple-
mentary rudders or steering appliances metal or other pieces whereby the sides of the
said rudders or steering appliances will be made uneven, that is to say they will be
corrugated fluted or grooved in a vertical or nearly vertical direction instead of being
even or smooth as at present.
The accompanying drawings illustrate several modifications under my invention.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and fig. 2 a transverse horizontal section.
a stock, & flat
blade, e semi cylindrical pieces rivetted or otherwise secured to both of the sides of
the blade at some distance apart and with the spaces on one side - opposite to the
projections on the other.
Fig. 3 is a tranverse section in which semi cylindrical pieces are placed close
together.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section in which semi cylindrical or beaded pieces are opposite
to each other on each side of the blade.
In all the modifications above described the semi cylindrical pieces may be hollow
instead of solid as shown.
Figs. 5 and 6 are transverse sections of a modification in which zigzag plates are
applied to the faces of the rudder.
Fig. 7 shows a rudder stock and frame with corrugated plates attached thereto.
In some cases the corrugated plates can be secured over flat plates.
The pieces bars and sheets are secured or attached to the rudder blades, and in
fig. 7 to the rudder stock and frame in any convenient way and are of any required
thickness and strength. It may be mentioned that the fluted ribbed or grooved
surfaces may extend to only a portion of the rudder, and not to the full length.
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
Rudders having vertically or nearly vertically corrugated fluted ribbed or grooved
surfaces obtained by attaching pieces bars and plates to the blades, or to the stock and
frame, for the purpose of presenting an uneven surface, all substantially as herein
set forth.

I, OTTO WILHELM KLAS JOHAN NORDENFALK, of Linköping in the County of
Ostergötland, Kingdom of Sweden Captain 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 manufacture of book covers which, in almost every
respect, are superior to the covers of paste-board, leather, wood and similar materials
heretofore used.
According to my said invention each side of the cover is formed of a plate of metal,
both plates being united by means of a back to which the book itself is attached. The
said back may be made of leather, cloth, paper, or other flexible material and can be
united with both metal plates by gluing pasting rivetting or in any other suitable
manner.
The said plates may be ornamented by nickeling, engraving, painting, printing or
japanning or otherwise.
Such book covers are much stronger than those heretofore constructed, they will
not break so easily, and their corners are not so easily torn off or worn out. Their
appearance also does not alter so speedily as the usual covers, the exterior of which is
very soon impaired by frequent use. All these qualities contribute to render the
improved covers particularly adapted to such books as are in frequent use, as for
instance school books, all kinds of accounts and counter books, albums and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
A book cover consisting essentially of two metal sheets united by a flexible strip
which forms the back of the cover.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the chairs in which to seat rails
for railways. For this purpose I make the chairs in two parts, and bolt them together
below the rail seat with one or more bolts. By preference the parts of the chair are
made interchangeable. The joint is in contact at the base, but is made a little on the
bevel from below the bolt hole, or holes, up to the rail. This mode of construction,
when the bolt or bolts are screwed up, gives a vice-like grip to the rail, hence keys
of wood or iron are not necessary. By increasing the width of chairs for joints, the
usual fish-plates and bolts may be dispensed with, and the rail joints be better
supported.

or lock-bolts be used for the chairs.
By giving extra tight grip to the chairs at the centre of the rail, it would anchor
the rail firmly and the creeping of rails on inclines, or a deformed line from expansion
or contraction be prevented.

Improvements in Apparatus for Guiding Driving Bands onto Fast
or Loose Pulleys.
I, RUDOLF HORNSTEINER of Zizkow, near Prague, in the Empire of Austria,
Manufacturer, do hereby declaro 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 the present invention is to facilitate the guiding of driving bands
from the fast onto the loose pulley of the driving shaft so that when desired the
driving band stands perfectly still and is especially applicable to round bands and
ropes.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a side elevation and
Figure 2 a front elevation of the apparatus.
Figure 3 represents a section on line - of figure 2. The flange a of the fast
pulley V next to the loose pulley L projects about the thickness of the driving band
over the periphery of the loose pulley L which upon the side next to the fast pulley V
may be provided with no flange or only a nominal one such as shown in Figures 2
and 3. This projecting flange a is cut down in one or more places like b¹ 62 Figure 1
in such a manner that the lowest point of the part cut down is level with the periphery
of the loose pulley.
The noses formed by this cutting down are rounded off and the length of the
part cut down must not be too short.
When it is desired to transfer the driving band S from the loose pulley L onto the
fast pulley V the driving band is pressed against the flange a of the fast pulley by
means of the guide A where it remains until it slips over the reduced part of the
revolving fast pulley when it will be in the position indicated in Figure 2 i.e. partly
on the fast and partly on the loose pulley. By the further movement of the fast
pulley the nose 6 will slide along the driving band on the side towards the loose
pulley and thus completely transfer the band to the fast pulley.
The dotted lines in Figure 2 represent the position of the driving band on the loose
pulley L and the dot and dash lines the position on the fast pulley.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
An arrangement for guiding a driving band onto or off the fast or loose pulley
consisting in cutting down the flange a of the fast pulley next to the loose pulley in
one or more places in such a manner that the driving band may be passed from the
loose to the fast pulley or vice versa by guiding it by means of a convenient guide
over the cut down part of the fast pulley substantially as and for the purpose
specified.

Figure 1 is an exterior view of the bottle and shows the thermometer in the longi-
tudinal groove.
Figure 2 is a plan of the bottle in section and Figure 3 is a vertical section of the
improved bottle.
The feeding bottle A has on the outside a groove N. in which the thermometer W
is placed. The groove N is advantageously of such a depth that the thermometer can
lie completely in it and is thus fully protected from injury on the outside. An index
or register is held in position by the elastic or other suitable bands aa which fit into
the cross grooves bb of the bottle and press the thermometer into the longitudinal
groove N. The ends of the thermometer are fastened by means of cement or otherwise
suitably secured in the groove N.
By this arrangement the thermometer may be used not only for ascertaining the
heat of the food but also for regulating the heat of the water in baths and for indicating
the temperature prevailing in the room. The Thermometer may also be mounted on
the bottle without any groove if desired.

page_text: For the sake of greater convenience the most suitable degrees of heat for infants'
food, baths, and air in rooms, are indicated by stamped characters and numerals
on the outside of the bottle. A scale stamped on the bottle in the same way serves to
indicate how the milk, sugar, and water, forming the food of babies are to be mixed in
certain proportions according to the prescription of physicians.
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. An infant's feeding bottle provided on the outside with a longitudinal groove
which serves to hold a thermometer and of such a shape that the thermometer does not
project beyond it at any point.
2. The improved arrangement and application of the thermometer W. in the groove N.
of an infant's feeding bottle A. substantially as hereinbefore described and represented
in the drawings hereto annexed.
3. The improved arrangement and construction of infants' feeding bottles substan-
tially as described.

Improvements in Electro-magnetic Telephones.
I HAROLD COLLET of 7 Coleridge Road, Finsbury Park, in the County of Middlesex,
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 :-
My invention relates to electric telephones operated by the vibration of an armature
in front of an electromagnet or electromagnets, such electromagnet or electromagnets
being excited by a battery placed in the main line or circuit.
My invention consists in winding each magnet with two or more coils, one coil
being placed in and forming part of the main circuit only, while the other coil or coils
(while forming part of the main circuit, which is divided so that two paths are open
to the main line current) also forms a shunt circuit circuiting a battery placed in the
main line, as shewn in Fig. 1, in which the line circuit passes first through the
coil to L, where it divides into two parallel paths, one through the coil S to E, and
the other through the battery to E. Fig. 2 shews three coils, U being the single coil
as before, while the coils S₁ and S, are in the two parallel branches of the line, the
line battery being placed in one of them. It is not necessary to place both the parallel
coils on the magnet; one may be used inerely as a resistance as shewn in Fig. 3 and
Fig. 4, or may be placed upon a second magnet, as in Fig. 5. Or the battery may be
split, and one portion placed in each of the parallel divisions, as in Fig. 6.
The effect of the parallel or shunt circuit coil is to increase the power of the electro-
magnet and ensure a strong degree of magnetism even when the resistance of the line
is high, and the battery small. It is preferable to make the shunt circuit coil or coils
of coarser wire than the single series coil, so as to keep the resistance low; in this
case the fine wire coil must be placed at that end of the magnet which is next the
arinature.

page_text: 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 an electromagnetic telephone, winding the magnet with two or more coils, all in
the main circuit, and one or more of which forms part of a shunt circuit connecting
the poles of a battery in the main line, while the other coil or coils are placed directly
in the main line and do not form part of such shunt circuit, and arranged substantially
in the manner described.

I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67 Strand, 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 carrying out the invention I take a block of wood of the proper size, of maple for
instance, in a dry state, and immerse it in paraffine or other suitable oil such as on
drying will render the wood water-proof, allowing it to remain in the water-proofing
oil or material long enough for the latter to penetrate it, the block, to some distance
beyond its exposed surfaces or entirely through it, as may be required.
Next I place the block perineated with the water-proofing oil or material in a mold
of requisite form and then subject it to pressure to cause it to be molded to the proper
shape heat being at the same applied to the mold. After having been so molded and
while held firmly in the mold I allow the article to cool or hasten the cooling of the
article by suitable well known means in order to prevent it from either cracking or
cbanging its form.
The type or article so made, when in use will not absorb water-but will resist it,
and can be thoroughly and easily cleaned.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
As a new or improved article of manufacture; a printing type or block and the
like, substantially as described, consisting of a block of wood and a quantity of water-
proofing oil or material introduced therein or thereon as specified and with the block
subjected to heat and pressure and reduced to the requisite form in a mold and
subsequently cooled while therein, as set forth.

page_text: I, ARTEMAS WARD, of 31 Snow Hill, in the city of London, Advertising 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 :-
My invention relates to a new and improved mode of indelibly advertising upon
brushes and wooden ware in such a manner that an advertisement Trade Mark or
Trade name or descriptive matter thus indelibly branded upon the said brushes and
wooden ware shall not be visible to the public notice until the said brush or brushes
and wooden ware shall have been in use for some time.
The novelty and advantage of this my invention is that a manufacturer or dealer
may advertise his goods on brushes and wooden ware without defacing the appearance
of the brushes and wooden ware when sold to the public and without the public
knowing that an advertisement is contained thereon at the time when the public
purchase the brushes and wooden ware.
I now proceed to describe my invention reference being had to the accompanying
drawings hereunto annexed and the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1. represents a top plan view of an ordinary brush, shewing the same suitably
branded.
Fig. 2. represents a similar view as that shewn in Fig. 1. but indicating the manner
in which a suitable label may be affixed thereon.
To accomplish the object of my said invention I proceed as follows:-
I take a brush of any described size or pattern, such as that shewn in Fig. 1 and
indelibly brand thereon (by means of suitable branding irons) any Trade Mark or
Trade name or descriptive matter.
A perishable label A of any desired pattern is now placed and pasted or otherwise
affixed over the Trade Mark Trade name or descriptive matter branded as aforesaid
upon the brush in the manner shewn in Fig. 2.

page_text: When the aforesaid perishable label becomes wet or wears off by use of the
aforesaid brush, the Trade Mark Trade name or other descriptive matter indelibly
branded upon the back of said brush becomes exposed again as shewn in Fig. 1.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
In any kind of brushes and wooden ware the said brushes and wooden ware
stamped marked or indelibly branded with any desired Trade Mark, Trade name or
descriptive matter, and a suitable label affixed over the aforesaid Trade Mark Trade
name or descriptive matter upon said brushes and wooden ware substantially as and
for the purpose hereinbefore described, set forth and illustrated in the drawings
hereunto annexed.
