Improvements in Boiler Furnaces.
We, GALLOWAYS LIMITED, and HENRY FOSTER, all of Knott Mill [rən
Works, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, 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 relates to the construction of a boiler furnace in such a manner as
to effect very complete combustion of the gases evolved from the fuel, thus fully
utilising the heating power of the fuel and preventing smoke.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a
sectional plan and Fig 3 is part end elevation, part transverse section of a boiler
furnace according to our invention.
Fig. 4 is a part longitudinal section shewing a modification.
Referring first to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, air spaces B are formed in the walls which
enclose the fire-place, these spaces having at their lower parts inlets C and at their
upper parts outlets D immediately under an arch A which covers the fire-place.
Air entering the spaces B by the inlets C (which may be provided with regulating
valves or dampers) becomes heated and issuing by the outlets D into the
combustion chamber above the fire, mingles with the gases evolved from the fuel,
effecting their complete combustion.
As shewn in Fig. 4, the air chamber is formed in the arch over the fire place so
that the air, which enters at C and becomes heated in the roof, issues by outlets F
to mingle with the fuel gases in the combustion chamber.
Although we have shewn in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 a fire place according to our
invention applied to a water tube boiler, it may obviously be applied to a boiler
of other form.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A boiler furnace constructed with heating spaces in its walls or roof, having
inlets for air from without and outlets for the heated air to the combustion.
chamber above the fire, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improvement in Foot-balls.
I, GUSTAV Louis Hille, of The Hille India Rubber Co. Ld., Eccles, near
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertamed in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a cheap and simple manufacture of foot-balls. For this
purpose I put together four spherical segments made of caoutchouc or caoutchouc
compound with which a little sulphur has been kneaded, and in the hollow sphere
thus formed I place a little volatile matter such as, carbonate of ammonia. I place
the ball in an nou mould made in halves and heat it to a suitable temperature.for
vulcanising the caoutchouc. I prefer to engrave the interior of the mould with some
suitable design which becomes embossed on the exterior of the ball, as it is pressed
against the moulds by the pressure of the vapour within. After the ball is thus
vulcanised I force into it sufficient air to give the desired elasticity. The ball,
thus formed, is applicable directly as a foot ball without requiring any leather or
other covering.
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 foot-ball made of vulcanised caoutchouc substantially as described.

I, FRITZ BEHRENS, of Kurfurstendamm No. 11 Berlin in the German Empire,
Banker, 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 obviate risk through accidental discharge of
sporting guns and the like. In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 is section of breech-
mechanism, and Figs. 2 and 3 detail views illustrating my invention.
In the trigger b is a hole b¹ to admit end of catch rod a which has a slot a¹ in its
central part and carries a spring d on its rear end a* which rests on the bearing c..
The plate e held by screw or screws f to gun stock at c¹ holds rod a in position..
The lever h having its fulcrum at g is actuated through presser i, which has on its
upper end the plate k capable of being pressed down by the thumb of the marksman
into the groovel in the gun stock.
When pressure is brought to bear upon k the catch h¹ forces plate a back against
spring d and withdraws end at 61 from trigger b. The trigger being pulled
simultaneously, the gun is fired.
It will be seen that it is impossible for the gun to be fired without the pulling of
the trigger and the pressing back of the catch rod at same time, so that all risk of
accidental discharge is obviated.

Improvements in Apparatus for the Removal of Mist or Vapour
from Shop Windows.
We HEINRICH MAASS, and PETER FRIEDRICH CLAUSSEN, of Hamburg-
Vandsbek, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
escribed and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for its object to remove mist or vapour produced on the inside
of shop windows by a higher temperature in the interior than outside. This mist or
vapour shows itself by the formation of a non transparent cloudy deposit on the inside
of the window and prevents the inspection of the goods exposed.
As a means to attain this object a water spray is known and the object of the
present invention is a suitable conduit for the spraying water.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section on the line X-X (Fig. 2) and Fig. 2 is a side view
showing a piece of the conduit.
Fig. 3 shows on a smaller scale the arrangement of the whole spraying
apparatus. The arrows indicate the water flowing down the window pane out of
the conduit.
The conduit has the form of an angular hollow channel closed at its ends and is
preferably made as a zine casting. In the interior of this channel are two hollow
spaces c and d arranged one above the other, the top one being closed all round
and communicating with the lower space by a number of holes or by means of a
continuous slot e. This lower space has au opening at the bottom in the form of
a narrow slot which is formed by the inclined side g not touching the window
A ribh running
pane but being bent parallel thereto and extended downwards.
the whole length of the hollow space d directs the water flowing out of the hollow
space c on to the inner surface of the inclined side g from whence it flows down
through the slot f on to the window pane 6 to be caught at the bottom thereof by a
gutter i. The supply of water from the house service pipes can be at one end of
the conduit at K or to both ends. The water flows out of the gutter i at l.
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
1. A water stream conduit characterised by two hollow spaces arranged over
each other and enclosed by common sides which spaces communicate with each
other by holes or a slot and of which the lower one has a triangular section, one
side lying against the window pane and leaving a free narrow passage produced by
an extension of the inclined outer wall and the window pane, at the back of a
continuous rib at the lowest point of the triangular space for the outflow of the
water.
2. The arrangement and construction of apparatus for the removal of mist
or vapour from shop windows, substantially as described and shown in the
drawings.

1, BENJAMIN WOODWORTH of No. 14 Hewn Street Fenton in the County of
Stafford, 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 has for its object to work steam expansively in a manner specially
applicable to winding engines. By this arrangement of gear to the cut off valve,
a regular progression of the cut off takes place during each wind, or it may be-
arranged to cut off at some fixed point.
Any suitable mode may be used for putting in or out of gear the cut off motion
after commencement and before completion of winding to give full action of steam
to start and stop.
I use a separate valve of either piston or other form with central port or ports
full open when the cut off gear is in neutral or central position.
In order that my invention may be clearly rendered reference may be had to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan of the gearing.
Fig. 2 is the elevation of the same.
In constructing the cut off motion according to my invention, I make connection
to the shaft upon which the main valve eccentrics are hung, the dotted lines a
representing the said main valve eccentrics, by wheel gearing of varying
diameters to suit the revolutions of the engines, through the intermediate shaft e to
the shaft d upon which is keyed the stud or driving disc e from which the cut off
eccentric is driven by the stud pin or driver, the cut off eccentric is loose upon
the shaft and made with circular slot or projecting driving lugs which come in
contact with the stud or driver pin g. and drives the said eccentric in either
direction, its movement acts through the rod by the lever i in connection with
the rocking shaft ; the rocking shaft is provided with a radial box link arm which
is constructed in and forms part of the shaft j and into which slide the blocks that
swivel upon the stud pin in the connecting rod which is shown in gear with the
cut off valve rod 1,-the connecting rod k is made inoperative by the lever and
links connected with the shaft m lowering it through the radial link n to the centre
of the rocking shaft.
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 driving dise or face plate fitted with adjustable driving stud to work in or
upon a loose eccentric which operating the cut off motion through the eccentric
rod to the rocking shaft and continuing through and by the radial link and
connecting rod to the cut off valve, substantially as described with reference to the
appended sheet of drawings.

Year: 1895

page_text: Date of Application, 22nd Mar., 1895-Accepted, 24th May, 1895
An Improved Hypodermic Syringe.
I, LEONHARD SCHMIDT of 16 Gr. Burstah, Hamburg, Germany, Maker of
Surgical Instruments, 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 my improved hypodermic syringe the piston or plunger is so packed, by
means of a suitable packing ring, that no fluid can effect an egress at the rear end
of the instrument.
The annexed drawing shows the instrument in section.
As will be seen the syringe consists of a plunger d working within a barrel or
cylinder a, provided, in front, with a nozzle 6 on to which the injector needle fis
fitted. The rear end of the cylinder a is screwed into a nut which in its turn
is screwed into a packing box c. Fitted between the box c and nut g is a.
packing ring e.
The plunger d has a small amount of play within the cylinder.
By tightening up the box c the packing ring e can be pressed tight enough
against the plunger d to prevent fluid escaping when the plunger is forced inwards.
In order that the plunger may not be entirely withdrawn, when filling the
cylinder with fluid by suction, a cord his fixed to the cylinder and to the handle of
the plunger so as to limit the travel of the latter.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
1. A hypodermic syringe having a plunger which works fluid tight in a packing
box at the rear end of the instrument, substantially as herein before described with
reference to the drawing annexed.
2. The combination with the improved hypodermic syringe as claimed in Claim 1
of a cord h for limiting the travel of the plunger, substantially as hereinbefore:
described and shown on the annexed drawing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Apparatus for Automatically Feeding Animals.
We, HEIN WARNER, of 50 Eppendorferweg, Hamburg, Germany, Fruit-
merchant, and FRIEDRICH EDUART OTTO RATHMANN, of 42 Henriettenstrasse,
Hamburg, Germany, Standmaker, 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 consists of a box or hopper, which is filled or partially filled with
grain or other small food and which is provided with clockwork mechanism so
arranged that at any given time or times the food is discharged for the animals.
The use of this apparatus obviates the necessity for a groom or other attendant
personally feeding the animals.
The device is placed in the bay rack above the manger.
On the annexed drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a side view, with part in section, of the
apparatus.
The box a, which is preferably narrowed at its lower end, has a hinged bottom b
connected by a chain c with an alarm clock d. This clock is of the ordinary
construction except that its axle is prolonged and has a small drum f at its end
upon which a sufficient length of the chain can be wound to draw up or close
the bottom b. When the alarm is wound up the chain is also would on the
drum f.
The apparatus is so arranged that as soon as the hand of the clock reaches the
hour at which the alarm has been set and at which the feed is to be given, the
chain c is unwound from the drum f, the bottom is dropped and the food falls
down into the manger.
Should the box a be divided into three or other number of
compartments corresponding to the feeding times, then the clockwork can be
arranged to open cach compartment in turn at the proper pre-arranged times.
This apparatus is particularly suitable for feeding sick horses as they should
have food given to them at regular intervals.
The use of this apparatus ensures regular feeding whilst the groom has only
occasionally to shake some food into the box and wind up the clock.
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 consider novel and desire to claim is
:-
1. An apparatus for feeding animals which automatically releases the food at
predetermined times, characterized by a food box provided with a movable bottom
which can be automatically opened at certain pre-arranged times, by clockwork
mechanism, substantially as set forth.
2. An apparatus for feeding animals consisting of a box a, provided with a
hinged bottom b, having a chain c attached to it said chain being wound on a
drum f on the alarm spindle of a clock d, surmounting the box, substantially as
hereinbefore described and shown on the drawings annexed.

hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to handkerchiefs and it consists in making them with a
hem formed by first sewing the edges of two pieces of cloth together and then
turning them inside out.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the handkerchief showing the method of making
the hem.
Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line - Fig. 1.

After being sewn together in this manner the double handkerchief is turned
inside out, as shown at Fig. 3, so as to bring the sewing e at or near to the outside
edge; see also Fig. 34. The double handkerchief is now hem stitched, along the
lined shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and thereafter the centre part of b is cut out along
the line of the sewing d.
The edge is ironed in the usual way.
The edges of the handkerchief may be straight or festooned in any way; and,
after being turned inside out, may be finished in any way desired such as by
straight or curved sewing or hemstitching or embroidering.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
:-
Handkerchiefs made with a hem formed by first sewing the edges of two pieces of
cloth together and then turning them inside out, substantially as hereinbefore
described with reference to the annexed drawings.
