COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wheels for Cycles and other Vehicles.
I, JAMES GELLATLY, of West End, South Queensferry, North Britain, Foreman
Maltman, 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 wheels for cycles and other vehicles
and forms a modification of or addition to the invention described in the Specifica-
tion of my prior Patent No. 287 of January 5th 1898.
In accordance with my present invention in place of employing an ordinary rim
having a solid or cushion tyre fitted thereto, I employ a rim of special construction.
This rim, which may be made of any of the metals or materials at present in use,
is formed with a convex bearing surface and covered with a rubber band or a
strip of leather or other material.
The accompanying drawing clearly illustrates such a rim, Fig. 1 being a side
view and Fig. 2 a section of a wheel constructed in accordance with my said former
patent but fitted with my improved rim.
In the said drawings A represents the metal rim having a convex bearing
surface, attached by rivets, screws or the like to the springs which impart the
necessary elasticity to the wheel. B is the band of rubber, leather or other
material which is preferably formed thicker at the tread than at the side of the
rim and which may be turned over at the edges and secured by solution or other-
wise. Or a band or strip of any of these materials may be placed upon the bearing
surface or tread alone as found most convenient in practice and secured in any
convenient manner. The curve of the section of the rim, shewn in Fig. 2, may be
also varied as desired.
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. In wheels for cycles and other vehicles, the rim constructed and arranged sub-
stantially in the manner as herein before described and shewn in the accompanying
drawings.
2. In wheels for cycles and other vehicles, the rim A having a convex bearing
surface covered with a rubber or other band B, substantially as hereinbefore
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Slubbing, Intermediate, and Roving Frames.
We, ASA LEES AND COMPANY, LIMITED, of Soho Iron Works, Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Machine Makers, and ROBERT TAYLOR, Junior, of the same
address, 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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in slubbing, intermediate and roving
frames and the object of our improvements is to enable the gauge or distance apart
of the spindles to be readily adjusted or changed and also to simplify the construc-
tion of the machine.
:-
In the accompanying sheet of drawings :-
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the upper spindle or bolster rail of a slubbing,
intermediate, or roving frame and a bolster bearing snug or bracket (for a bolster, not
shown) made according to our invention, Fig. 2 is a similar view of the footstep
bearing, Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1 and Figs. 4 and 5 are slightly modified forms of
Fig. 1.
It is now customary to cast the rail and snugs in one piece, the holes in the snugs
to carry the bolsters and footsteps have then to be very accurately bored so that all
the spindles may be vertical and parallel with each other but according to our
improvements we form the rails of any suitable shape such as those shown in the
drawings and then mill or cut out a dovetailed siot a extending from end to end of
the rails. The bolster bearing bracket b, Fig. 1, and foostep bearing bracket c, Fig. 2,
are constructed to clip over the sides of the rails a, but in Fig. 4 the bolster bearing
bracket 6 is shaped to fit into a parallel slot above the dovetailed slot a¹, and in all
these views, Figs. 1 to 4, the bolster and footstep bearing brackets are connected
adjustably to the rails a by bolts e which pass through them and screw into nuts f
with bevelled edges which fit and are free to be moved in the dovetailed slots a¹.
In Fig. 5 the rail a is not slotted but the adjustment of the bolster or footstep
bearing on the rail a is obtained by fitting a bolt with a bevelled side between the
rail and the bearing the bolt passing through a hole in the bearing and being
secured by a nut h.
The drawings illustrate convenient means for connecting the bolster and footstep
bearings adjustably to the rails a but we wish it be understood that we do not limit
ourselves to the exact details given.
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
In a slubbing, intermediate, or roving frame, the several combinations with the

page_text: rails
", of the adjustable spindle bolster bearing bracket b, and the adjustable spindle
foot step bearing bracket c substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Candles.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Candles.
1, NILS ALEXANDER ALEXANDERSON, of 88, Danviksgatan, Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
When a candle burns down low in the socket of a candle-stick, various unpleasant
effects may be caused, such as bad smells, or the breaking of the candle grease
guard.
With the so-called branched candles, in which the wick does not pass all the
way through the side branches but terminates at the bend of the latter, it frequently
happens that the ends of the wicks drop from the candle: being then liable to
set fire to any combustible articles that may be near, and at this stage of the
burning of the candle the stearin easily runs over the edge of the candle causing
damage to underlying articles.
The present invention relates to candles (whether of stearin or other material)
which are extinguished automatically shortly before the, wick is completely con-
sumed. The invention comprises an arrangement for preventing the inolten
stearin surrounding the wick at the moment of extinction from running down the
candle.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown in section. a candle made in
accordance with the present invention.
The invention consists in providing close to the portion of the wick a that
is impregnated or enclosed in a sleeve so as to be self extinguishing a cavity or
passage in which the molten stearin, or other material of which the candle is
made, accumulates instead of running down over the edge of the candle. This
passage may be formed either by drilling into the moulded candle when finished
or by inserting in the candle a core on the removal of which the passage is formed,
or by casting or moulding in the candle an object containing a passage. The
passage thus formed is subsequently stopped up at one end.
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:
An improved self extinguishing candle with a passage or cavity c provided close
to that portion 6 of the wick a which is self extinguishing, for the purpose of
collecting in the said passage the molten illuminant which cannot be absorbed
by the wick and thus preventing its running over the edge of the candle.

I, JOIN CRAIG BLACK, of the Firm of D. Brown & Co., Coppersmiths, Wood-
ville Street, Govan, in the County of Lanark, 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 provide a simple, inexpensive and secure
joint for flanged pipes such as copper pipes used for high pressure steam.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1
is a longitudinal vertical section on the line - Figure 2, shewing the meeting
Hanges of the pipes in position, Figures 2 and 3 are end views of the two meeting
Hanges of the pipes, and Figure 4 is a longitudinal elevation shewing the flanges
bolted together. Figure 5 is a longitudinal vertical section of a modified form
of joint.
In carrying out the invention, referring particularly to Figures 1 to 4, the
pipes A, B, nave flanges C, D, brazed on to their respective ends, one flange 1)
having an annular recess D¹ formed in it into which a ring C on the owner flange U
is entered this ring bearing against a packing ring E at the inner end of the
recess D. The flanges C, D, are formed, as shewn particularly at Figure 1, so that
their faces do not meet when the nuts are tightened. This form of flanged ends
has the advantage that the bolt holes F can be cast instead of being bored, and
that a tight joint is formed between the pipes A, B.
In the modification illustrated by Figure the annular ring C¹ in the flange C
is made V-shaped and the recess D¹ in the flange D is preferably correspondingly
shaped to fit the V-shaped ring, or one side only of the ring and recess may be
beveled.
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 :-
Flanged joints for steam pipes and like piping constructed with annular joint-
ing surfaces fitting one within the other, the flanges being so formed that their
faces do not meet when the nuts are tightened substantially as described.

and AMBROSE BEARD, of 48, Windham Terrace, North Road, Wolverhampton, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
According to this invention the air is compressed in a tank or other vessel by
means of a flow of water or by compressing the air by a centrifugal pump, or
ordinary blowing cylinder and forcing the air into a reserve tank from which it
is conveyed by suitable pipes to the top of the liquid to be raised. The blowing
cylinder or pump may be worked by any suitable power.
And in order that our said invention may be better understood we will now
proceed to describe the same more fully.
According to this invention we provide an air tight vessel into which water is
introduced from a cistern or service pipe, at a suitable pressure in order to com-
press the air in the tank to about 6 or 7lbs. to the square inch. The air thus
compressed is conveyed to the vessel containing the liquid to be raised, by means
of communicating pipes, which will have the effect of forcing the liquid up to the
required height, and supposing ale is forced up by this process it will also have
the effect of clearing such ale.
Instead of having a centrifugal pump as before described, we may have a screw,

page_text: such as an Archimedian screw working in a cylinder, such screw being revolved
by suitable power.
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 claim is:

and set up in such a manner as to represent the natural position of the said animals
or objects. These figures have usually hitherto been drawn in single profile only,
thus giving a view of only one side of the object and leaving the reverse side
thereof blank.
My improvement consists in printing the said animals or objects in duplicate
on the same side of the same sheet; these duplicate representations are preferably
arranged contiguous and joined together by strips or lines intended to be left
uncut when the pictures are cut out of the sheet. In the case of representations
of animals for instance, the figures are conveniently arranged one above the other
and back to back and so that at some points of each figure the two impressions are
in contact. Consequently, when the double figure is cut out of the sheet, the
sairi points of contact being left uncut, it only requires the double image to be
folded over on the blank side and connected at one or two points by a little gum
or the like. The representation will then show the animals or the like on both
sides. The animals or the like can then have their limbs slightly separated or
be united to a base by slips of paper and gum or some such manner to cause the
animal to stand upright in a realistic manner.
My pattern sheets may be printed either in black or in colours with or without
relief stamping and be either varnished or unvarnished.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is;-
-
The improvement in the production of cardboard or the like figures, with or
without colour, and with or without relief, which are printed double, and can,
after being cut out, be folded or pasted together, substantially as described.

Flushing Pipe.
HERBERT STEPHEN FOSTER, 4, Cowley Street, Westminster, S.W., Modellers
Assistant in Pottery Ware, 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:
1
The invention is intended for the improvement in connecting water closet
basins to the flushing pipe, in the following manner.
There are three parts to form the union.
1. The nozzle of water closet, to be made with a screw thread, as, (A in draw-
ings).
2. A double tapered indiarubber washer as (B shows in drawing).
3. A cap screw threaded inside as (C in drawing) to fit nozzle A.
Both the cap and nozzle to be made of same material as closet, viz. pottery
ware.
The nozzle when in clay state to be fixed to closet, in same manner as ordinary
nozzle, and, as shown in (drawing No. 1 Sheet).
The hole in nozzle and cap to be countersunk, as "S" in drawing to allow the
rubber washer, (B) room to come into position and make the union watertight.
In fitting the union together, the cap must be first placed on flushing pipe,
then the rubber washer also on the pipe, the end of pipe being inserted into the
nozzle in the ordinary way, and cap being screwed on to nozzle, bringing rubber
into position, thus making union complete.
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
The making watertight connections of closet basins, with flushing pipes by means
of an indiarubber washer, kept in position by stoneware cap, screwed on to the
nozzle of closet basin, as described in drawing Sheet No. 1.

Swimming Gloves.
I, WILLIAM MCCAUSLAND), of 38, Victoria Street, Belfast, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is to liave gloves webbed between the fingers and thumbs similar
to an aquatic fowl. This would assist swimmers to be much more effective and
powerful in moving thro water and would be the means of saving life by the
users. My invention would give a much larger surface to act on the water and
the return stroke would scarcely be impeded more than is customary. The fingers
and thumbs could be artificially lengthened so as to allow the webs to be continued
past the natural tips and thus give greater surface for catching hold of the water.
These swimming gloves can be made out of any suitable material in all suitable
sizes.
Dated this 7th day of September 1898.
WILLIAM MCCAUSLAND,
I, WILLIAM MCCAUSLAND, of 38, Victoria Street, Belfast, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment:
This invention relates to gloves which can be used by swimmers in order to
increase their power and speed of propulsion through the water.
The gloves which can be made of any suitable material are webbed between the
fingers and thumbs in a similar manner to the feet of ducks and other aquatic
fowls.
The fingers and thumbs of the gloves could be lengthened so as to allow the
webs to be continued past the tips of the swimmers fingers which latter if so de-
sired could also be artificially lengthened. By so lengthening the gloves a much
greater surface for catching hold of the water would be presented.
The gloves, in use, would be a great assistance to swimmers and enable them
to give a much more powerful and effective stroke when moving through the
water. The gloves whilst presenting a much larger surface than the bare hands
to act on the water at the forward driving stroke do not impede the swimmer at
the return stroke much more than when they are not used.
The gloves can be made of different sizes to suit different individuals.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I consider novel and desire to claim is :-
Swimming gloves made substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in and relating to Incandescent Gas Lamps.
I, BERNHARD FRÖHLICH, of Reudnitz, near Leipzig, in the 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:-
This invention relates to incandescent gas lamps and its object is to render them
self lighting when the gas is turned on.
These improvements may be carried into effect in the manner illustrated by the
accompanying drawing to which I will hereinafter refer.
The crutch a by means of which the mantle is supported is covered or partially
covered with oxide of thorium or other similar infusible material, as large a surface
as possible being obtained: This may conveniently be effected by wrapping the
crutch with a textile fabric which is saturated or impregnated with a solution of the
oxide of thorium. It is afterwards subjected to heat until all the textile material
is burnt away and only a porous covering of oxide of thorium remains upon the
crutch. This porous body is then treated with a solution of any salt of platinum and
dried or heated, the operation being repeated if desired. Platinum in the finest
state of division thus remains in the porous oxide of thorium and the fine particles
are prevented from being fused together.
A small receptacle 6 made of asbestos or the like may be placed upon the crutch
and may contain a small amount of spongy platinum.
As soon as the gas is turned on the cover of the crutch becomes red-hot and
ignites the gas.
The same result may be achieved by impregnating the incandescent mantle with
finely divided platinum in a manner similar to that described with reference to
the crutch either in addition to or in substitution for the crutch, or it may have
very fine platinum wires combined with it.
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 incandescent gas lamp, the combination with the crutch, of a covering of
oxide of thorium impregnated with finely divided platinum, substantially as and for
the purpose hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
