Improvements in the Wheels of Bicycles, Tricycles, and other
Wheeled Vehicles.
I, ALFRED DUCASBLE of 9 Avenue Mac-Mahon, Paris, 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 improvements in the invention for "Improvements in
the wheels of bicycles, tricycles, and other wheeled vehicles," for which I filed an .
application for Letters Patent, No. 19349 A.D. 1892.
In order that my said invention may be the better understood, I have appended
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 is a cross section of a tyre and rim, and Figure 2 a portion of a wheel
with the tyre in position, similar letters of reference being used to indicate
corresponding parts in both views.
According to my present invention, the rim is perforated in one or more places e,
in order that the air in the annular air chamber d between the rim and the tyre a
may escape when the tube is subjected to deformation by local pressure due to the
weight of the rider, or when passing an obstacle and may re-enter when the
pressure is relieved, and the elasticity of the tyre a causes it to resume its normal
shape.
Suitable inlet and outlet valves, pipes or passages may be provided for facilitating
or controlling the flow of air. To increase the adhesion of the tyre to the rim,
the latter is formed with annular channels b b with projecting edges to receive and
hold the base of the tyre a, the external surface, or tread of which may be serrated
or fluted to increase the bite of the tyre, on slippery ground, and which may be
strengthened internally by a layer or layers of cotton, or other woven material.
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:
First. In a wheel for velocipedes and other vehicles, the combination of a hollow
elastic tyre a of approximately semi-circular cross section with a double channelled
metalic rim 6 substantially as herein described, and shown by the appended
drawings.
Second. In a wheel for velocipedes and other wheeled vehicles, the arrangement
of an elastic and flexible endless tyre a, fitting without cement into troughs formed
by the channels 6 of the rim substantially as herein described with reference to
the appended drawings.
Third. In a wheel for velocipedes and other wheeled vehicles, the method of,
and means for, providing free outlet and inlet of the air in the spaced automatically

Improvement in Implements for Cutting Glass.
I, JOHANN URBANEK, of 123 Bergerstrasse, Frankfurt on the Main, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer of Glaziers' Diamonds, 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 ordinary implement for cutting glass known under the name of " glaziers
diamond" consists of a handle provided with a block in which a diamond is fixed.
Such implement requires considerable practice for proper use especially in cutting
glasses of different thicknesses.
The implement constructed according to the present invention is provided not
only with the ordinary sharp cutting diamond but also with an elastic hinged
guide-piece holding a blunt diamond. By this means the implement is guided better
and it is possible to cut the glass not only with the point but also with the edge of
the sharp diamond.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a view partly in section of the implement in vertical position.
Figure 2 is a similar view of the same in an inclined position; and
Figure 3 is an underside view of the implement.
a is the block fixed to the handle b, and c is a block hinged to the block a
at c and serving as a guide piece. The sharp diamond a¹ is fixed in the pro-
jecting end of the handle b. The hinged block is provided with an adjusting
screw in which a blunt diamond is fixed. The spring d makes this hinged
block elastic by pressing its end c¹ downwards and its other end upwards,
until the person holding the implement forces the hinged block down as shown
in Figure 2 against the pressure of the spring d.
The advantages of this improved implement are as follows: 1. The same imple-
ment can be used to the same advantage for thick or thin glass. 2. The person
using the implement may have a heavy or a light hand and yet be able to cut the
glass well. 3. The sharp diamond is more durable because not only is its point but
also its edge brought into use. 4. The implement may be readily used after a little
practice for cutting large panes of glass of different thicknesses, the only difference
in use being that greater pressure is required to be applied to the implement when
cutting thicker glass.
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. In implements for cutting glass, the elastically hinged block c holding the
blunt diamond c¹ in combination with the handle b provided with the block a holding
the sharp diamond a¹.
2. The handle and block a, in combination with the block c, hinged at et and
provided with the spring d.
3. The handle with block a holding the sharp diamond a in combination with
the block c, hinge c', spring d and adjustable screw g holding the blunt diamond c'.

Improvements in the Construction of Hollow Metallic Ornamented
Articles.
I HARRY WOODHOUSE PERKINS of 133 Bermondsey Street, in the County of
London, Hardware Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and the manner in which the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object to construct hollow metallic ornamented articles
such for example as umbrella stands, coal boxes, flower stands and so forth in such
manner that they will be adapted to receive raised and projecting metallic
ornamentation such as artificial flowers butterflies or other ornamental designs
without liability to such being injured by passers by, or to catching and tearing
passing objects such as dresses and the like.
To this end I construct the articles of any suitable sheet metal plates stamped or
bent and suitably fixed together in such manner and of such configuration in plan
that a recess is produced for the reception of the raised ornament, and any desired
number of such recesses may be formed each of suitable area and depth to contain
the intended raised metallic ornamentation which is soldered or otherwise suitably
fixed in the same.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated several articles constructed in
accordance with my invention.
Figures 1 and 2 are front views of umbrella stands; they are formed respectively
crescent shaped and angular so as to fit into corners, the front face is formed
concave and the metallic ornamentation fixed thereto.
Figure 3 illustrates a flower stand having 4 recesses in each of which raised
ornament is fixed.
Figures 4 and 5 are respectively a side view and plan of a coal box a recess of
suitable form being formed in one side and containing the raised ornament.
Figures 6 to 9 inclusive illustrate in plan various forms of hollow articles con-
structed in accordance with
my invention.
In some case the top or bottom of the recesses or both is protected by guard
plates as at p in Figure 2 which may carry or assist in supporting the orna-
mentation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
Constructing hollow metallic articles with a recess or recesses and with raised
and projecting metallic ornamentation fixed therein and protected thereby
substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Socks for Boots and Shoes.
I, FRANZ HAHN, of Einsiedel, in the Kingdom of Saxony, 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 socks for boots and shoes, and has for object to provide
a sock which will effectually absorb perspiration or dampness of the feet without
irritating or pressing the same.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figures 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections illustrating two methods of making my
improved sock, and,
Figure 3 is a plan of the same.
In carrying out my invention by the method shewn in Figure 1 I take a thick
layer of wood-wool wadding A in the shape of the sock required and cover it with
muslin, net, tulle or the like B. The sock is then stitched all round the edge and
may also have some stitching across the surface and the sock is finished.
Or as
illustrated in Figure I cover the upper surface of the wood-wool wadding a,
that is to say, the surface nearest the foot with a thin muslin covering b and on the
underside surface I provide a stiff covering c, which can be made of cardboard,
straw, cork, leather or other suitable stiff material. The latter, as an extra pro-
tection may be covered with calico or the like and be provided with an edging or
binding e. The stitching finally reduces the thickness of the sock at certain parts
and thereby renders it more elastic. Instead of the wood-wool wadding, cellulose
wadding may be used with as good effect.
My improved socks can without damaging the material, be dried or soaked
with germ killing substances so as to render them specially adapted for use for bad
feet.
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. A boot or shoe sock made of a layer of wood-wool wadding or cellulose
wadding either covered entirely with muslin or having one surface covered with
muslin and the other with a covering of stiff material which latter can be covered
with calico or the like and the whole provided with a binding e, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. The improved socks for boots and shoes herein before described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.

I, CHARLES HENRY JOLLIFFE of Olive Mount, (St. Anns) St. Helens,
Lancashire, Brewer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:--
This invention has for object, the preservation of wines, beers and yeast by
means of a fluoride of an alkali such as that of sodium or of potassium both of
which are tasteless, odourless, and inoxious, and available for use in any quantities
at any stage of the manufacture, art, or process, or in the finished beverage.
In practice I find ounce of fluoride to 36 gallons of liquor is a good preservative
of finished beers, but with wines the quantity of fluoride may vary from ounce to
three ounces per 36 gallons.
If the fluoride be desired for the purification of cultivation of yeast, as much as
four ounces of fluoride of an alkali can be employed with twenty pounds of solid
yeast.
The important feature of the invention is the use of a fluoride of an alkali as a
preservative agent for wines, beers and yeast.

Improvements in Galvanic Curative Appliances.
I, HARRY HYLTON-FOSTER of Tolworth Hall, Long Ditton, in the County
of Surrey, Tanner 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 this invention is to provide a magneto electric or galvanic
apparatus or appliance of a very potent influence when applied for the cure of
relief of nervous or other disorders or diseases, and which shall be extremely
simple in construction, convenient in use, and comfortable in wear.
The external application to the body, or such parts of the body as may be
affected, of a well directed and enduring magneto-electric current is well known to
be of great curative value, and by this my invention the effectual and convenient
application of a magneto electric current of sufficient intensity and concentration
is assured.
In accordance with this invention I construct a garment in such manner as to
contain the elements of a galvanic battery, or, when desired, portions only of the
garment may be so constructed or arranged, and for this purpose
make the garment,
or such portions of the garment as it is desired shall possess the remedial
properties, of a chain mail form making such chain mail in rings or links of zinc
and copper.
To produce the magneto-electric current it will be found that the moisture of
the skin will be sufficient to cause the necessary chemical effect required, so that
no acid or liquid is required to be provided for to excite the current, and thus the
apparatus or appliance is rendered simple in construction and light and convenient
to the wearer allowing for free movements of the limbs and body and circulation
of air.
When the electric current is required to be applied to certain parts of the body
only, the garment may be made so that those parts shall receive the most effect
from its arrangement, and the chain mail to which the poles of a battery may at
any time be attached may be divided into bands with intervening portions of wool,
silk, cotton, india rubber or leather or other suitable non-conducting fabric or
substance, or if desired of any medicative or other appropriate material.
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 improved magneto-electric or galvanic apparatus or appliance consisting of
a garment in whole or part of chain mail in rings or links of zinc and copper
substantially as herein before set forth and described.

An Artificial Stone Composition.
We, JOSEPH EVERHARD KESELING and CHARLES FUCHS Jr. both of No. 5
Bowling Green, New York City, State of New York, United States of America,
Chemists, 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 a composition of matter for the manufacture of artificial
stone and consists of a basic cement of oxide of magnesium and neutral chloride of
magnesium to which is added sand, asphaltum and albumen.
When articles of high elasticity are required, the asphaltum which enters therein
is treated with oil of turpentine to form a solution; the sand and calcined magnesia
enter in the proportion of 25 to 30 parts by weight of magnesia to 70-75 parts by
weight of sand. In order that the above stated amount of magnesia with a proper
amount of chloride solution may fully take up all the sand and have a resultant
plastic mass, we add to these materials, a diluting liquid.
This dilutant we obtain by dissolving albumen in water of 150 to 160° Fah.
Now to obtain the composition in a state ready for use we mix together the sand
75% (225 lbs.). and asphaltum solution (gal.) with the basic cement (75 lbs.
magnesium oxide and 5 gals. magnesium chloride) and at the same time gradually
pour in the albumen solution (3 to 4 gals.). The above proportion of the several
ingredients may be varied within certain limits up to 90% sand depending upon
the specific purpose of the composition. The composition may have mineral
coloring matter added thereto and the produced article will frequently be subjected
to a hot water bath.
The sand is the cheapest element, and as we use 75% of it to 25% of the other
elements it is apparent that we can obtain a stone product at a minimum cost.
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
A composition of matter for artificial stone consisting of a basic cement of oxide
and neutral chloride of magnesium, sand or analogous filler, asphaltun and a
solution of albumen.

position, by reason of the thumb-piece taking into the aperture f³, and also to
prevent said bolt from being pushed back, after it has been shot, by reason of the
thumb piece or knob taking into the aperture f³, notwithstanding that the stop-
block or wedge may have been inadvertently omitted from the slot c¹.
When it is desired to bolt the door, all that is necessary to be done is to first
raise the flap, then shoot forward the bolt by means of its thumb piece or knob a'―
which latter then comes to the right hand end of the slot c¹-and then to insert the
stop block or wedge into the space behind the thumb-piece or knob. The flap fis
now turned down and fastened by the turn button fx. The stop block is made of
such dimensions as to entirely fill up the space in the slot c', and consequently any
backward movement of the bolt is effectually prevented, it being impossible to
withdraw the bolt until the stop-block or wedge has been removed, which can only
be done from the inside of the room.
Instead of arranging the stop block or wedge in the manner shown in the
drawings, so that when in use it lies behind the thumb piece or knob, we may so
arrange the parts that it shall enter a sufficient distance into the slot and casing, or
into the mortice, as to lie directly behind the bolt itself.
It is obvious that instead of employing a square bolt, we can use a round one;
also that the bolt can be made in any size to suit its particular application.
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. The improved construction of door bolt in which a stop-block or wedge is
adapted to enter a slot in the door and to lie behind the thumb piece or knob, or
behind the bolt itself, when said bolt is shot or thrown, and to thereby prevent the
bolt from being forced back, or tampered with from the outside, substantially as
described.
2. The combination with a bolt, as above claimed, of a hinged flap having a
slot into which a turn button engages, and apertures f³, f³, into the former of
which when the flap is lowered, the thumb piece or knob of the bolt engages, when
said bolt is withdrawn, and into the latter of which when the bolt is shot or thrown,
substantially as described and as shown in the drawings.
3. Our improvements in bolts for doors, substantially as hereinbefore described
and as shown by the accompanying drawings.

Improvement in Pins to Prevent them Falling Out of Material.
I, ELIZA THOMSON, of 1 Marlborough Place, N.W. Gentlewoman, 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
statement, that is to say :-
My invention relates to an improvement in pins, and has for object so to con-
struct the pin that it shall have no tendency to fall or work out of the material
in which it is inserted.
Hitherto very great inconvenience has been occasioned by reason, from its
present construction, of the pin so easily slipping or dropping back from the
position in which it is first placed in the material, and to obviate this I form.
the pin in a particular manner as will hereinafter be described.
And in order that this my invention may be fully understood and readily
carried into effect I will now proceed to describe same with reference to the
accompanying drawing, which shews to an enlarged scale a pin constructed with
my improvement.
In accordance with this invention I form the pin with a spear point, that is.
to say, the pin itself remains the same as ordinarily from the head a to within
a convenient distance (as b) from the point when I have a tapering enlargement c
decreasing gradually to the usual pin point d.
The "
"
spear or tapering enlargement as above described will as readily enter
the material as an ordinary pin but when inserted the shoulder c¹ will prevent
it by itself working back and falling out of the material.
That no great force should be required to withdraw the pin when desired I form.
the shoulder c¹ with a somewhat sharply inclined slope as shewn in the drawing.
It will be at once observed that this improvement is equally applicable for all
descriptions of pins :-millinery & dressmaking pins, brooch pins, scarf pins, and
the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this.
nvention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The construction of pins with a spear head or tapering enlargement at the point.

Improvements in Moulds for Casting Ingot Moulds.
I, SAMUEL THOMAS CROASDELL of Windsor Lodge, Moresby, Whitehaven,
in the County of Cumberland, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to manufacture ingot moulds in a cheaper and
more expeditious manner than at present.
Hitherto it has been the practice in the manufacture of ingot moulds, to make
patterns the shape of the mould or moulds required, placing the said pattern in a
cast iron box, boxes or casings and then ramming the space between the pattern
and the box or boxes up with sand or loam, so that when the pattern is withdrawn,
an exact form of mould is left for the outside of the ingot mould to be made, after
which the sand mould so formed in the box or boxes is dried in a stove provided for
that purpose and then placed over the core forming the inside of the ingot mould,
after which the metal is run into the space between the outer sand mould and the
core thereby producing the ingot mould required.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I make a cast steel, cast iron, or
other metal mould, the inside of which is of the exact shape or form required for
the outside of the ingot mould to be made, the inside of this mould being coated
or otherwise with a thin composition or wash of refractory material or any suitable
material, and after being placed over the core as before described in the old
practice, it, in combination therewith, at once forms the mould into which the metal
is run and thereby produces the ingot mould required.
The outer cast steel cast iron or other metal mould may be heated before the
metal is run into it.
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. The employment of moulds for casting metal ingot moulds formed internally
to the required shape of the ingot mould and coated with a suitable refractory
composition or wash in combination with a core substantially as described.
2. The construction of moulds for casting metal ingot moulds substantially in
the manner described and for the purpose specified.

Experimental Science Portsdown Road W. London, and ALFRED JOBLING
retired Army-Major Pierside Lymington Hants. 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:-
Mode of preparation is as follows, to every 1 lb. of pure mustard add two ozs. of
fine table salt, 2 ozs. of fine castor sugar, mix these ingredients thoroughly with a
wooden spoon, and add as much filtered water as will make a stiff paste: allow the
mixture to stand for 20 minutes, then add two table-spoonsful of Taragon vinegar
and the same quantity of Worcestershire sance, the process is now complete.
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
1st. The use of salt and sugar in combination preserves the aromàtic principle
of the mustard.
2ndly. The important point of allowing the mixture to stand for 20 minutes in
order to evolve the pungency of the condiment, and to preserve its undiminished
strength.
3rdly. The addition of the vinegar and sauce powerfully aids digestion, and
renders it, in the words of the analyst "of great tonic, dietetic, and digestive
value."

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bootmakers' Lasts.
I, MAX SPUHR of 18 Ferdinand Strasse, Dresden, Germany, 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 the construction of an appliance or last
which is capable of adjustment so that the leather when making the boots or
shoes can be stretched and also the soles can be smoothed on the inside.
Fig. 1 is a cross section of the improved last.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly, in section, of the last.
Fig. 3 (I, II, III) show in plan shapes of feet with additional parts a, a'.
Fig. 4 is a part sectional plan of the device.
Referring to the drawings
The last consists of the parts a, a, b, b, between the upper ends of which the
pieces are held in place. The parts a, a' can be raised or lowered, so as to
grip or loose the pieces 9, by means of the screws, ¹. The parts a, a¹ and g,
form the shape of the foot or last over which the boot is drawn after being
prepared and loosely stitched together.
The parts a, are capable of being moved or slid sideways.
c is a bar pivotted at each end and having a handle together with eccentric
projections or cams d (Figs. 1, 2 and 4).
The projections, when the lever is turned, press the movable parts a, b away
from the fixed parts a' in the direction of the arrow Figs. 1 and 4 until the
desired width of last is produced and the leather is properly stretched.
For the better manipulation of the apparatus and as a guide to the movable
parts a, b, the well known guide or horn f (Figs. 1 and 4) is used.
The shapes 9 are interchangeable so that the last can be made to suit any shape
of foot.
Fig. 3 (II) shows in dotted lines the position of the last when the leather is
being stretched.
The advantages of the hereinbefore described apparatus over the ordinary
wooden lasts for the manufacture of boots consist (1) in saving time, (2) in
making the production of boots cheaper (3) in making the inside of the boots
quite smooth, as the leather whilst being hammered presses on the iron surface of
the last and all unevenness, nails etc. are levelled down.
The improved apparatus serves as both a last and last holder.
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 last or appliance for making boots having shapes g and adjustable parts a,
a, b, b, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings
annexed.
