Improvements in Double-acting Vacuum Lift and Force Pumps.
FREDERIC WILLANS, of Spring Terrace, Wrexham, Engineer, JOHN FREDERICK
WILLANS, of Spring Terrace, Wrexham, Engineer, ARTHUR JOHNSON, of
Broomy Hill, Hereford, Civil Engineer and Contractor 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:-
Our invention consists of improvements on the Patent granted to Frederic
Willans and John Frederick. Willans, dated June 20th 1893, No. 12135, and
entitled "An improved double-acting lift and force pump." Our improvements
relate to the valves and the arrangement and structure of the base.
Fig. 1 is a section through steam valve and seating showing connection with top
of columns. Steam is admitted through steam pipe A through ports B, B, or C, C,
and flows through hollow stem G of valve F to act in the column H as described in
our former Patent. The seating consists of a main part D to which is screwed an
additional part E, the valve being previously placed in position. The whole valve
and seating is then screwed on to frame S and secured by nut J. The valve and
seating can thus be easily taken out for repairs and refitted. The arrangement
can also be cheaply manufactured. As shown in the drawing the ports B, B, are
open for the admission of steam, and ports C, C, shut.
Fig. 2 shows in section the improved base, suction, and delivery valves. The
port L is a curtain-like continuation of the column H into the base K so as to form
a partition of the base leaving the channel X by which the water or other liquid
passes to delivery valve T. M, M is the suction valve, in this case of the grid
form, and composed of vulcanite fibre. N is the guard to prevent the valve
opening too far. To fit the valve, all that is necessary is to open the cap P, drop
the valve M on to its seating O, and then secure the guard N upon the valve by
rod Q and nut R. The same advantages attend this arrangement as are mentioned
above in relation to the steam valve. The delivery valve T, with guard U, rod V,
and nut W are constructed and fitted in a similar way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what way the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In a double-acting lift and force pump the arrangement of the valves and
seating substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a double-acting vacuum lift and force pump the partial division of the
base K by partition L so as to produce a greater outflow through delivery
valve T.

Improved Methods of Distributing Power by Electricity.
FREDERICK HENRY ROYCE of Eastbourne, Holland Road Chorlton-cum--
Hardy Electrician, and ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT of Electron,
Cavendish Road Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Electrician, 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 :-
With the system of wiring known as the 3 wire system we use motors wound
for the maximum voltage which is obtained from the two outside wires of the-
system and are able to connect the motors by suitable arrangements to th
2 outside wires or the inside wire and either of the outside wires; the object being-
to obtain various speeds of the motors brought about by these different voltages
without having to insert a resistance in the motor circuit which would give rise to
a certain amount of loss and inefficiency.
A resistance can however be used with any motor to give an increased range of
adjustment, in speed if desired.
This method above described can be of course applied not only to the 3 wire
system but the 5 wire system and such further extensions and to other multiple-
wire systems.
In order more clearly to explain the nature of this our said invention we have
attached hereunto a diagram whereon it will be seen F, E and D represent the-
three wires of the 3 wire system conveying current through the double pole
switch C and C' through the brushes B and B₁ to the motor A.
The switch on the position 1 will consequently subject the motor to the E.M.F.
existing between E and D.
The switch on the position 2 will subject the motor to the E.M.F. existing
between E and F.
The switch on the position 3 will subject the motor to the E.M.F. existing
between F and D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we-
claim is
The principle of varying the voltage upon an electro motor and consequently
the speed by connecting it to the different potentials offered by a multiple wire-
system, the 3 wire system, the 5 wire system and such other extensions.

Improvements in Disinfecting Apparatus.
I, DAVID SJÖSTRÖM, of 9 Vesterlånggatan, Stockholin, in the Kingdom of
Sweden, Notary, 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 :-
When articles are to be disinfected by being introduced into a chamber
together with certain disinfectants as for instance, steam or gas, it is essential that
such disinfectants should be uniformly distributed throughout the interior of the
said chamber, as it is only when this is the case that a thorough disinfection of the
articles to be treated will be insured.
The present invention relates to apparatus for effecting such an even distribution
of the disinfectants in the interior of the chamber.
This apparatus is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which represents a
vertical, longitudinal section of a disinfecting chamber arranged in accordance
with my invention.
The novel means consists simply in arranging a small fan a in the interior of
the chamber b, motion being imparted to the said fan by means of a pulley c
driven by a motor located outside the apparatus, or in any other suitable manner.
By this means the vapours or gases in the chamber are violently agitated and
will mix thoroughly with each other and all parts of the articles placed in the
chamber for disinfection will therefore be acted upon alike, both as regards
the effect due to the composition of the disinfectant at work and that due to the
temperature, and as a result the articles will be uniformly disinfected.
It is evident that two or more fans may be arranged in the chamber instead of
one and that the fans may be given an oscillating instead of a rotating motion.
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 disinfecting apparatus, the arrangement of one or more fans a in the
disinfecting chamber, for the purpose of effecting a uniform distribution of the
disinfectants throughout the interior of said chamber.

An Improved Amalgam for the Filling of Hollow Teeth.
I, WILHELM KANDLER, the younger, of Friedland, Mecklenburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Dentist, 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 is characterized by the employment of a copper amalgam,
which is made use of for the filling of hollow teeth, and which, for the purpose of
making it harden quickly receives an addition of cadmium.
As the copper amalgam only hardens after some hours, it is of the greatest
importance to succeed in quickly hardening it. This is effectually attained by the
addition of a greater or less amount of cadmium as above stated.
The process in detail is as follows:-
The amalgam contains from one to one and a half per cent. of cadmium. Blue
vitriol is dissolved in water and by means of zinc or iron a copper precipitate is
obtained. This precipitate is mixed with quicksilver and the cadmium is then
added in the form of powder or filings.
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
An amalgam of copper for the filling of hollow teeth, which, in order to quickly
harden same, receives an addition of a greater or less amount of cadmium as
herein described and set forth.

This invention relates to hinges of a kind commonly employed for hanging doors
in dwelling houses, and consists in constructing the same in such a manner as to
admit of their being effectively lubricated without lifting the door off, or raising it
upon, the hinge-pins.
In Fig. of the accompanying drawings, is represented, partly in elevation
and partly in vertical section, a hinge constructed according to my improved
method; Fig. 2 being a horizontal section on the line, Fig. 1.
A is the hinge-plate or flap secured to the door or window-frame, and B is the
fellow hinge-plate or flap secured to the door, window of other movable part. The
flap A is formed or furnished with an upwardly projecting pin C adapted to enter
the socket b of the flap B and to abut against the lower end of a pin C which
occupies the upper part of the socket, being secured therein by means of a
transverse pin c. The pin C is provided with a longitudinal chase which extends
beyond the upper extremity of the socket band serves to convey lubricant to the
point of abutment between the pins C and C and to the portion of the socket b
which embraces the upper part of the pin C. By these means, without removing
the door from, or raising it upon, the hinge-pins C', sufficient lubricant may
be introduced to maintain the parts in efficient working order for a lengthened
period.

An Improvement in Pulley Carriers for Wire Pulls.
I, CHARLES HODGSON, of Canterbury Road, Kilburn, 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 :-
My invention relates to pulley carriers for wire pulls such as employed for
moving or releasing railway or other signals and for like purposes, the object which
I have in view being to lessen the frictional resistance to the movement of the pull,
and to prevent it from being caught between the pulley and the frame in which it
is mounted.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view and Fig. 2 is an end view of
a pulley carrier according to my invention.
A is the frame made in two equal and similar parts which are held together by
the screws B, or it might be holts, which fix the carrier to a post or other object..
Each half frame A has a long horizontal slot C in which the centre pin d of the
pulley D is free to travel to and fro. All the upper part of each half frame A from a
to a is thickened inwards, so that the width between the two half frames as
indicated at E Fig. 2 is less than the width below, and consequently the wire pull F
being guided between the upper parts of the frame, which overhang the edges of the
pulley D, cannot pass over these edges, or become caught between them and the-
inside of the frame. The pulley D is of the ordinary construction with a centre
pin d projecting on each side. As the wire pull is moved causing the pulley to.
revolve, the pins d roll along the lower side of the slot C, causing little frictional
resistance.
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 :-
A pulley carrier, substantially as described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Advertisement and Showcards.
We OSCAR VOGLER and ROBERT VOGLER, in the Firm of Vogler & Kachholz,
of Wandsbek near Hamburgh, in the Empire of Germany, Chromolithographers,
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 showcards for advertising and other
analogous purposes, and consists of cards folded one or more times, as is found
convenient, printed inside in one or more colours, as may be desired, with one or
several figures or pictures, parts of which figures or pictures are printed on paper,
linen, or other suitable material, and attached to the card so that they correspond
with the remaining portion of the figure or picture which is printed on the card.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents such a card, lying flat,
Fig. 2 the same folded.
The added portion (a) (showing a dog), is fixed in such a manner that it is
moveable by folding or unfolding the card (bb): in moving the card the dog is
approached to and removed from the persons surrounding the animal, thus the
figure may also consist of a lady walking with an umbrella. The cloth part of
the umbrella would be attached in such a manner that immediately the card was
opened it would appear that the umbrella was put up as if in protection from the
rain, whereas on folding the card it would cause the cloth part of the umbrella to
fall in such a position as it would fold between the cards. Other combinations will
of course be used, but the instance referred to had been put in simply to show more
clearly the idea of this invention. The attached parts referred to are mounted and
folded together over the fold in such a manner that, in folding up the card, the
parts are compelled by the tension provoked by this, to open up and to make by
that the desired motion of the parts. When desired the various limbs of the body
of the figures of men and women may be attached in this firm so as to move in any
desired direction on opening the card. The advertisements are printed or otherwise
applied on or under the mounted parts or limbs.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
Advertisement and showcards with moveable figures folding up the card,
characterized by oue or several figures printed inside in one or more colours
on these cards, parts of them being supplied by suitably printed and figured parts
or limbs mounted on these figures in such a way, that they are moveable when
folding up and opening the cards and disclose by this means in a most effective
manner the advertisement printed or otherwise applied, substantially as described
and set forth in the foregoing Specification.

Improvements in and connected with the Hubs of Tension
Wheels.
I, JOHN KEEN, of 4 Hampton Terrace, Long Ditton in the County of Surrey
Cycle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows: :-
Whereas a great difficulty is usually experienced in inserting spokes through
the flanges of tension hubs where the space for twisting the headed or bent end of
the spokes is limited, I provide holes between each pair of spoke holes, just
breaking into and connecting these spoke holes. By this means the spokes can
be inserted through the flanges at a very slight angle to the flanges, before they
are passed into their ultimate position. By this device a tension hub of a
velocipede can be spoked, or broken spokes replaced without removing the chain
wheel or gear case.

Improvements in and connected with the Hubs of Tension
Wheels.
I, JOHN KEEN of the Cycle Works, Surbiton and of 4 Hampton Terrace
Long Ditton in the County of Surrey, Cycle 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 :-
Hitherto the spoking of so-called tangent wheels has been troublesome through
the length of the spokes having to be drawn through the spoke holes; on hubs
carrying driving pinions, the latter have generally to be taken off whilst even one
spoke is inserted, and in case of a spoke breaking on the chain side of a gear cased
driving wheel the repair cannot usually be executed without the gear case being
opened, the chain disconnected, and the wheel taken out of the frame. By my
invention these proceedings are rendered unnecessary through the device shewn in
the drawings which will be readily understood, representing the flange on the
chain-wheel side of a driving hub. As is seen the spoke holes are connected in
pairs by intermediate holes (larger than the spoke heads) in such a way that
I have merely to insert the heads of the spokes through the intermediate holes and
draw them into position. By this means even on a gear cased velocipede, a single
spoke or the whole of the spokes can be removed or mounted without disturbing
the position of the hub in the frame.

page_text: Having now particularly described & 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 wheels of the tensioned spoke type connecting the spoke holes on the hub
flanges in pairs in the manner and for the purpose described.

Improvements in Boot and Shoe Trees.
I, JULIUS LEX, of Meschede, Westphalia, in the German Empire, Last and
Boot-tree 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 :-
My invention relates to trees for boots and shoes and has for its object to arrange
the parts of the same in a novel manner whereby they may be introduced and
removed with greater facility than heretofore.
According to my invention a boot-tree is made in two parts, the division being
on a line extending from a point on the sole near the front of the heel to a point
near the top of the instep, the said two parts being prevented from becoming
separated by a sliding hinge joint.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of a boot-tree constructed according to my
invention; and,
Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2, Figure 1:
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 illustrating the operation of putting
my improved tree into a boot, the boot being indicated by the dotted lines in the
said figure.
a is the toe portion of the boot-tree, and b the heel portion; c is the hinge
which connects the two parts, one leaf d of the said binge being fixed to the part b
and the other leaf e adapted to slide on a screw or pin f fixed in the toe part a of the
tree, the said leaf e being slotted at g so as to permit of the heel-piece being moved
relatively with the toe-piece, for instance, in the manner shewn in Figure 3 which
represents the position of the said heel-piece relatively with the toe-piece when the
tree is being introduced into the boot.
The object of the hinged joint is to permit of a certain amount of freedom of
motion to the two parts of the boot-tree which facilitates the introduction and
removal of the said tree into and from a boot.
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. A boot-tree the two parts of which are connected by a sliding hinge joint
arranged substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The manufacture and use of boot-trees substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

An Improvement in an Instrument for Purposes of Castration.
I, WILLIAM JOHN GREGORY, of 52, High Street, Harlesden, in the County of
Middlesex, Dairy Farmer, 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 improved instrument is intended for castrating lambs.
The improvement consists in the construction and application of a pad or cushion,
of rubber or other suitable material, to the face of one or of both jaws of an
instrument used for pressing forward the ball and extracting it after an incision has-
been made in the bag by any ordinary sharp instrument.
The pad is fixed to the jaw or jaws by an adhesive substance or by means of a.
dove-tail slot in the face of the jaw, or by any other suitable method.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates a castrating instrument constructed.
according to my invention, A is the pad or cushion before referred to shown clamped
in a dove-tail slot in one of the jaws of the instrument, but it may be affixed to.
both jaws and rivetted or otherwise fastened in position and provided with either a
plain or roughened gripping surface.
If one pad only is used, I sometimes prefer to form the metal face of the opposite
jaw with corrugations or serrations to prevent slipping.
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 an instrument for purposes of castration, providing one or both jaws thereof

It is made in the following manner,
1 ounce of nitrate of soda, to 3 pecks of the droppings of goats, to 4 gallons of
goats urine, (or rain water, if urine unavailable), to which add two or three large
lumps of charcoal, and place a bag of soot, a one quart measure, in this mixture,
and allow it to stand for two or more weeks, then bottle cork & seal down.
1 quart of the mixture, will make, when mixed with 8 gallons of water (rain if
procurable), the liquid manure above mentioned.
I claim that the manure is composed as described above and further that it is
i. Odourless, and so can be used freely in hothouses, greenhouses, conservatories,
and even in dwelling rooms.
ii. That it is alike beneficial for fruit, flower, blossom and foliage, for both
tropical or hardy plants.
iii. That it is not what might be called a chemical manure.

Improvement in Means for Converting Rotary into Reciprocating
Motion, and vice versa.
I, FRIEDRICH PICKERT, Workmaster of Hohenlimburg in the Province of
Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvement in question refers to an apparatus, by means of which rotary
can be converted into rotary motion and vice versa.
The apparatus can therefore not only be applied to power-engines of all kinds,
in which the motions of the piston are to be transferred direct to the pulley-shaft,
but it may also, for instance, be applied to machines, to which a straight recipro-
cating motion is to be given from a pulley-shaft e.g. sawing-machines etc.
The apparatus is represented in Figs. 1 and 2 of the annexed drawing in side
and upper view. A is a toothed rim cast in one piece with the casing B. In the
middle of the casing is the axle C, to which is secured on the outside, i.e. behind
the casing a pulley, fly-wheel etc. D, while inside the casing a crank E is wedged
on, on which is arranged by means of a pin a toothed-wheel F of the same division
as rim A, but only of half the radius of the latter, so that the teeth of the wheel F
engage those of the rim. On the wheel F is mounted a second crank G, which has
the same diameter as the wheel F. The driving-rod H, guided in an eye is
attached to this crank.
In order to protect it against dirt the casing is closed by a cover J, which is
provided with a slit K for guiding the crank-pin L of the crank G. If this
apparatus is set in motion either from the pulley D or the rod H, the toothed
wheel F rotates on the toothed-rim A and as the diameter of the wheel F is equal
to half the diameter of the rim A, the point O, the point of connection between
crank G and rod H, as will be seen from Fig. 3 describes a straight-line, which
falls in the horizontal diameter of A. If therefore the rod H is arranged in the
direct-continuation of this diameter, it will have an accurately straight reciprocating
motion.
To the connecting-rod H, when the motion is imparted from the pulley D, any
kind of machine or tool e.g. the blades of sawing-machines or the saw-frame and
the like may be coupled on, if the opposite is the case, the rod H may be simply
used as piston-rod.
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:
Apparatus for converting rotary into reciprocating motion and vice versa,
distinguished by the arrangement of a toothed wheel F inside a toothed rim A
of twice the radius, mounted on the crank E of the fly-wheel-shaft, as well as of a
crank connected with the wheel F having the length of the radius of the wheel, to
whose pin the connecting-rod H is attached.
Dated this 26th day of April 1895.
