CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN SHIPS' WINDLASSES AND OTHER WINCHES
Year: 1852

page_text: PROVISIONAL. SPECIFICATION left by John Nicholes Taylor
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 14th December 1852.
(Void by reason of notice to proceed not having been given within
the time prescribed by the Act.)
I, JOHN NICHOLES TAYLOR, of North Shields, in the County of
Northumberland, Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of the
said Invention for "CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN SHIPS' WINDLASSES AND
OTHER WINCHES " to be as follows:-
The improvements consist of a roller made with one, two, three,
or more grooves on the periphery, so as to receive the chain or cable;
such roller is to be placed in front of the windlass or any other
suitable situation, and another wheel, which I call a carring wheel,
is to be fixed on the body of the windlass and made with teeth, or
cogs, or horns, or any other suitable projection, so that every other
link of the chain may lie between such teeth, cogs, horns, or other
suitable projection.
The annexed Drawing shows the application of the improvement.

AN IMPROVED MODE OR MEANS OF EXTINGUISHING FIRE IN SHIPS OR OTHER VESSELS
Year: 1852

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by John Gilmore at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
27th November 1852.
(Void by reason of notice to proceed not having been given within the
time prescribed by the Act.)
I, JOHN GILMORE, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, of George Yard,
Lombard Street, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
of "AN IMPROVED MODE OR MEANS OF EXTINGUISHING FIRE IN SHIPS OR
OTHER VESSELS" to be as follows:-
It would be superfluous to dilate upon the awful effects of fire in
ships, and equally needless to insist on the utility of any effectual
mode of preventing so great an evil. I shall therefore content
myself by remarking that the plan I propose for adoption is one in
which that most effectual fire extinguisher water is employed, and
that the cost of the apparatus is inconsiderable compared with the
value either of the vessel or the cargo. Referring to the Drawings
annexed, it will be seen that Fig. 1, is a plan view of the deck
of a ship; Fig. 2, a horizontal section of part of the side of a vessel;
and Fig. 3, the section of a pipe for applying water. A, A, are
cast iron or other suitable pipes extending on either side of the
vessel from stem to stern. These pipes are perforated as shewn in

page_text: Fig. 3, having branch pipes at right angles thereto, so as to extend
across the whole of the vessel or in such parts as may be desirable.
The supply pipes A, A, are fed with water by the pumps B, B, and
C, C, Figs. 1, and 2, which are fixed at the head and stern of the
vessel. A suction pipe brings water from the sea or river, and
it will evident that a copious supply may thus be got. D, are cisterns
at either end to hold a supply of water from the pumps, whence it
runs into the supply pipes, and thence to the branch pipes, E, E.
In order to send a supply of water to the hold of the vessel, where
fire frequently occurs, valves are placed at suitable distances in the
deck, which may be opened or shut at pleasure; from the cross
pipes water will flow down these valve holes in great quantities,
and in such parts only where the fire may be raging, for the direction
of the water may be regulated by the stop-cocks F, F, Figs. 1, and
2. In a ship fitted in this manner serious loss or accident by fire
would be almost impossible. Nothing more would be needed than
to pump up water into the cisterns and open the valve holes ;
the whole surface of the decks may then be inundated, or if the fire
be in the cabins or hold, the current may be at once let upon it by
means of the stop-cocks, and this without swamping those parts of
the vessel (such as sleeping berths) where it is ascertained that no
fire exists.
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOOLS FOR CUTTING OR ABRADING METALLIC AND OTHER SURFACES
Year: 1852

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by George Augustus Huddart
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 26th November 1852.
I, GEORGE AUGUSTUS HUDDART, of Brynkir, in the County of Car-
narvon, Esquire, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for certain "IMPROVEMENTS IN TOOLS FOR CUTTING OR ABRADING
METALLIC AND OTHER SURFACES " to be as follows:-
The object of this Invention is to cut down wood, metals, &c. to
the required shape, or to finish off wooden, metallic, or other surfaces
by means of rotary tools applied to a lath or other like apparatus.
The cutting tools which 1 employ for this purpose will have a
circular periphery in the line of their rotation, but otherwise they
will take any form corresponding to the profile of the surface
required to be produced; that is, they may be cylindrical, concave,
convex, or a combination of all these. The surface of the tools,
however shaped, I roughen, after the manner of producing the
surface of a file or rasp, or I cast them in chills or iron moulds, in
the manner in which buhrs for cutting stone have been proposed to

page_text: be cast. These tools I mount either on a chuck or on a spindle, or
between mandrils; and while they are rotating I bring in contact
therewith the metallic or other article the surface of which I require
to reduce. By this means, I am enabled to expedite many operations
incidental to engineers' work, as the necessity for filing by hand will
be in many cases avoided.
The more extended application of this class of cutting tool will
be obvious to any practical mechanic.
