Improvements in Stretching Dental Cofferdams.
I, JOSEF WITTKOWSKI, of No, 15, Friedrich Strasse, in the City of Berlin, in
the Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, Merchant, 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 relates to an improved method of stretching the india-
rubber diaphragm or cofferdam used in dental operations to hold back the saliva
when front teeth are being treated.
According to this invention a sheet of rubber provided with a slit is stretched
between two clamps or holders, in such manner that the whole may be fastened
to the head, something as in the case of a mustache trainer. The slit in the
rubber is of sufficient size to admit of a front tooth passing through.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 showing the complete device.
Fig. 2 a view of the clamps opened out, and
Fig.
3 a view of the rubber diaphragm or cofferdam alone.
b is the rubber diaphragm provided with a slit a, and c c are the two lateral
clamps, between which the rubber is stretched. These clamps are of flat form
and have strings d or the like attached to their ends, for the purpose of fastening
the device to the head of the patient, in the manner of a mustache trainer.
The clamps cc are formed with two wings, as shown in Fig. 2, where they are
bent apart. One of these wings is provided with pins or studs f, over which the
diaphragm is pressed. The other wing has corresponding eyes g, so that when
the two wings are pressed together with the rubber sheet between them (as in
Fig. 1), the pins pass through the eyes, and the whole device is held firmly
together.
Instead of there being two wings as shown on the drawing, the holder e may
be formed of a single plate provided with pins.
When the tooth to be operated is inserted through the slit a and the rubber
then stretched by the device being fastened to the head by means of the strings d,
the diaphragm will lie close to the tooth and the saliva so retained in the mouth.
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:-
A device for stretching a rubber diaphragm in dental operations, consisting of
two lateral holders provided at one end with means for grasping the rubber.
and at the other end with binding means for securing the device to the head of
the patient, substantially as described.

Improvements in Breakwaters, River Bank Facings or Protections and
the like.
A communication by JOHN WELLS WAINWRIGHT HOPKINS, of 130, Calle 25 de
Mayo, Buenos Aires, in the Republic of Argentina, South America, Railway
Contractor.
I, ARTHUR GEORGE EVANS, of Kington Langley, Chippenham, in the County
of Wilts, Civil 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 improvements in forming breakwaters or river or
like protections by means of facine mattresses, and has for its object to provide
a breakwater or training wall of simple construction and which will be more
durable or less liable to injury through parts of the structure being washed away
or displaced. My invention has particular reference to breakwaters or training
walls formed of alternate layers of heavy material, (such as stones or sand bags)
and partly buoyant material.
According to the present method of constructing such breakwaters or training
walls, sole reliance is placed upon the weight of the sand bags, stones or the
like, to retain the partly buoyant material (such as facines) in position and this
is found to be generally more or less inefficient and the object of my invention
is to overcome the defects in such structures.
With my invention I construct a breakwater, or training wall of alternate
layers of heavy material (such as sand bags or stones) and partly buoyant
material (such as facines) and provide against displacement of same by enclosing
it in a casing formed of wire netting or the like of a suitable sized mesh (say 6
to 12 inches) enclosing the entire mass forming the structure. I may if I
rlesire employ a covering of other material such as tarred rope netting, or
expanded metal might be used.
As before mentioned this construction effectually prevents the washing away
or displacement of the materials forming the breakwater or training wall.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated
to me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :--
In the construction of breakwaters, training walls, and the like, the employ-
ment in combination with the materials forming such structures, of a covering
or binding of wire net-work or the like enclosing said materials, substantially
as and for the purpose herein set forth.

Improvements in Letter-files.
I, FRIEDRICH SOENNECKEN, of Bonn, in the Province of the Rhine, German
Empire, 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 :—
The present invention relates to an improvement in letter files of the kind in
which the documents can be pushed from a tube upon a clamp engaging into the
top of this tube.
It has been a disadvantage of letter files, as hitherto constructed, that after
closing the same; they reopened again when accidentally turned upside down.
Thereby the documents were scattered and had to be rearranged again.
The object of my invention is a letter file in which the foot of the clamp, when
the file is closed, by means of a spring is pressed under the head of a stop whereby
the file is protected against accidental opening.
:
My invention will be fully understood with reference to the accompanying
drawing, which forms part of this specification, and in which:
Figure 1 shows a vertical section through a letter-file according to my invention,
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 3 illustrates a vertical section through a modified form of construction,
the clamp being closed,
i
Figure 4 is a part of the clamp in section, illustrating the position when
opened,
Figure 5 shows a plan view of the modified arrangement.
The characteristic feature of my invention consists in the peculiar arrangement
of lugs and upon the board a. These lugs are of a form and are arranged in
a manner allowing the clamp c to be rotated and slightly moved in vertical direc-
tion. The foot of the clamp is bent and is pressed under the head of a stop f
of suitable form by means of a spring d fixed to the lugs and stretched by
a third lug g arranged in suitable manner upon the board a.
In order to open the file, the operator merely has to press
thereby liberating the same.

In Figures 3-5 a modified construction is represented. In this form of
execution the lugs 61 and the spring d in the simplest manner are replaced by
two springs h h fixed to the board a, which springs, when the clamp is open,
are pressed into the position shown in Figure 5, whilst as soon as the clamp is
closed again owing to their elasticity, they press the foot e of the clamp c under-
neath the head of the stop f in the manner heretofore described.
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:-

Germany, Manufacturer, 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:-
The present invention relates to that class of blocks of pictures, which contain
a series of views in successive positions, so that on rapidly turning over the
various leaves the effect of animated pictures is attained. The pictures or leaves
are rapidly turned over by mechanical means as described in other patent
applications and the object of the present invention is to provide means for
simultaneously operating the mechanical means herein before referred to and for
operating a phonograph or grammophone.
In order to render the present specification easily intelligible reference is had
to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference denote similar
parts throughout the several views:

To the shaft D is attached the pinion which drives the transport wheel for
the block of pictures, and this shaft carries a worm wheel B. E is the operating
shaft for the phonograph having a disc, or the grammophone with the well known
roller and the shaft E carries a second worm wheel C. Transversely to the
shafts D and E is mounted a shaft A having thereon two worms one engaging
the wheel B and the other the wheel C. The shaft A is coupled by means of a
flexible shaft G to the driving shaft F and thus, when set in motion, drives both
the shafts D and E.
The advantage of the flexible connection G is that the working of the parts
is very quiet and even and then again in accordance with this arrangement the
worm shaft A and the driving shaft F need not necessarily be in line or con-
centrically arranged.

A New or Improved Process for Manufacturing Metal Pipes.
I, ALBERT SCHMITZ, of Frankfurterstrasse 50, Raunheim on the Main, in
the Empire of Germany, Engineer, 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:
1
The object of my invention is a process for manufacturing metal pipes the
walls of which consist of several intimately joined layers.
Pipes manufactured by this process are as resistant as seamless pipes.
According to this invention plates or sheet strips are formed into pipes by
bending the same by hand or by mechanical devices pipe-like (but not by pulling
them through dies) till their borders touch each other. The first so formed
pipe is put onto a second plate, and this bent round the former in any manner.
This can be repeated several times in order to obtain pipes of any desired
strength.
Pipes manufactured by this process can be united with pipes of any other
kind to form a compound pipe for instance by forming over a seamless rolled
pipe a pipe formed of plates.
As many layers as desired of the same or different kinds or qualities can be
put over each other in any succession.
Whether the pipes are all made of plates or are partially manufactured by
other processes they are always intimately united by welding, rolling, hammer-
ing, soldering or similar processes.
This connection can, if desired, be made by putting the single layers one
over the other in a highly heated state.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1
1. A new or improved process for manufacturing metal compound pipes
characterized by bending plates or sheet strips by hand or mechanical means
(with the exception of drawing them through dies) into pipe-like form one
after the other and over each other and intimately uniting them by suitable
means.
2. A process for manufacturing metal compound pipes characterized by
bending plates or sheet strips by hand or mechanical means into tube like form
and uniting pipes of any kind intimately therewith by suitable means.

Improved Lubricating Ring for Shafting and the like.
I, FEODOR HELM, of No. 8, Wagenburg Strasse, Stuttgart, 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:-
The object of the present invention is a lubricating ring for oiling shafts,
which through its peculiar construction of tin plate and a porous material forms
a specially effective means for the supply of oil, and weights the shaft as little
as possible, being very light.
The friction between ring and shaft necessitated by the constant rotation of
the shaft is automatically regulated inasmuch as at a greater number of revolu-
tions the porous substance yields an increased supply of oil through its adhesion
and consequently there is a greater strain on the ring, as compared with rings
which have no lining of porous material. In these latter also it is true a greater
supply of oil may be induced at high rotary speeds, yet the most effective action
is obtained by the present invention.
In the accompanying drawing a lubricating ring of this kind is illustrated
by way of example in
Figure 1 in perspective view in the closed state, in-
Figure 2 in the same view in the open state, and in-
Figure 3 in section.
The ring is composed of a strip of tin plate a, the edges bb of which are bent
round and folded over a layer c of felt or other porous material; the strip a and
the felt layer c can be joined together in any other manner preferred.
The ring is divided and has a fastening so as to be able to pass easily round
any shaft.
In order that the felt lining can have an even surface up to its ends on the
one hand, and in order to increase the stiffness of the ring on the other hand, a
strip of tin d can be inserted between the layers of felt e and metal a (Figure 3),
the ends of which e, e overlap the ends of the felt layer. The felt ring could be
finished off in any other manner preferred.
The ring is joined in any suitable manner, for instance, by means of the
ends f, f of the strip of metal a being bent round to form a hook, when the
lubricating ring can be easily closed by hooking the ends f, f into each other,
(Figure 1).
Instead of the porous layer being applied to the outer surface of the ring it

what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
The invention consists of: Attaching a buckle swivel to the nose of artificial
baits, instead of the usual wire ring attachment; the bait can be attached or
detached in a moment by reason of the buckle, which obviates the necessity of
having to pass the loop of the trace through the ring of the bait, and then the
whole trace to be passed through the first loop, to make the bait secure, which
has to be done when using the wire ring attachment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what I claim is:-

An Improvement in Syphon Cisterns for Water Closets,
JOSEPH WYATT HANCOCK, Senior, 49, Montague Road, Clarendon Park,
Leicester, Gas Fitter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows: :-
My syphon consists of a bent tube, or casting, the outlet is fixed
to the bottom of the cistern and the inlet dips towards the bottom
of the cistern, the inlet is much larger than the outlet, to allow
on the
a plate to work up and down inside it, the plate is fixed
end of a rod, turned up inside the large end of the syphon, the other
end of the rod is fitted to the lever, so that when the lever is drawn down, the
plate is raised inside the syphon, thereby lifting sufficient water to charge the
the syphon, the fixed plate has an opening in the centre, large enough to allow
the water to pass through, the opening in the centre is covered by a loose plate,
much smaller than the one fixed on the rod, but sufficiently large to cover the
said opening, in the fixed plate. By drawing the lever down to its lowest posi-
tion, the syphon is charged, and the loose plate plate stands nearly upright, while
the water is passing through the centre of the fixed plate, when the cistern is
empty the loose plate falls into position again.

Improvements in Water Purifiers.
I, PHILIPP SCHRECK, of Versoix, Canton of Geneva, Republic of Switzerland,
Mechanic, 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 following statement:―
My invention relates to improvements in water purifiers and consists of a
tubular body closed at its upper extremity by a perforated lid and its bottom
formed with a pipe having also a perforated lid which serves to purify the water
entering the said tubular body and deposite the impurities contained in the
water.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawing marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 a sectional plan.
a is the tubular body, b its bottom, cits perforated lid, d the overflow pipe,
The outer and inner
the upper end of which is also furnished with a lid e.
lids c&e are each provided with drop handles c¹, el respectively, which facilitates
their removal.
The perforations in the lid c are formed more or less vertical so as to allow
the water to descend into the tubular body a, b whilst the inclined perforations
in the periphery of the lid e necessitate the water to rise slightly in entering the
overflow pipe
d and cause the impurities therein to be deposited in the tubular
body a, b.
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:-
A water purifier, consisting of a tubular body furnished at its upper end with
a lid c and at its bottom with an upwardly projecting overflow pipe & having at
its upper end also a lid e, the lid c being formed with vertical and the lid e with
inclined perforations, the former causing the water to descend into the tubular
body whilst the latter purifying the water, cause the impurities to be deposited
in the said tubular body, all substantially as set forth.

Improvements in and relating to Electric Arc Lamps.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 10th Feb, 1899-Accepted, 11th Mar., 1899
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Electric Arc Lamps.
I, PHILIPP RZEPKA, of Neuberun, Upper Silesia, 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:-
-
It sometimes occurs, in electric arc lamps, that the carbon holders are damaged
or destroyed by the action of the are when one or both of the carbons has or have
been completely consumed.
The object of this invention is to provide means for protecting the holders from
such damage, and, in carrying these improvements into effect, one or both of the
carbons is or are furnished with a ring or rings of refractory or fireproof material
arranged or acting in such a manner as to prevent the carbons being completely
consumed.
The accompanying drawings to which I will hereinafter refer illustrate different
methods of carrying out this invention, and also show a collar or ring which may
be employed.
Figure 1 represents in perspective one form of protective device which may be
employed.
Figure 2 shows in elevation two carbons which may be employed for continuous
current lighting, and the lower one of which only is furnished with the protective
ring.
Figure 3 illustrates two carbons each fitted with a protective ring. As shown
in this figure the two rings have come into contact and the further feeding of the
carbons is prevented.
Figure 4 is a view of the same carbons, a considerable distance, however, still
intervening between the refractory rings
In the form illustrated each refractory ring or collar a consists of two halves
each of which is fixed to one of the limbs 6 of a spring controlled clip. The
other ends of the limbs have between them a spring c by means of which the
halves of the ring are normally forced towards one another. The halves may be
separated at any time by pressing together the other ends of the limbs of the
clip and the ring may be placed upon the carbon dor e at any desired point or
be removed therefrom when required.
Each carbon may be furnished with one of the protective devices as represented
in Figures 3 and 4, or when both carbons are of the same diameter.
When one carbon has a greater diameter than the other one collar or ring only
need be employed, attached to the thinner carbon, as further movement of the car-
bons will be prevented when the arc has reached the ring a Such a position of the
carbons is represented in Figure 2.
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:-
A protective device for the carbon holders of arc lamps, consisting of a refractory

page_text: ring or collar attached to one or both of the carbons and constructed and arranged
substantially as herein before described and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Cream Whipper or Egg Beater.
I, PAUL SCHNEEKLOTH, Housekeeper, of Newhaus, near Lutjenburg, Germany,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
―
This invention for an improved cream whipper or egg beater has for its object
to provide a simple apparatus of this class which shall dispense with the somewhat
tedious process of stirring by hand in the ordinary way.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a partly sectional view showing the interior of the handle in connection
with the stirring apparatus.
Fig. 2 a section along the line - in Fig. 1.
In the handle a, a roller b is arranged on the shaft of the stirrer.
C
Around the
roller a hempen cord or wire is wound. The roller b is set in motion from out-
side the handle by pulling the cord. By this rotary action of the roller a spiral
spring is put under tension and thereby the stirrer is caused to move in the reverse
direction when the cord is let go.
The motion can be quickened by placing a fly wheel in the upper part of the
shaft of the stirrer.
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 cream whipper or egg beater set in rotation by pulling a cord c wound
around a roller band, when the cord is let go, caused to move in the opposite
direction by means of a spiral spring d which is likewise in the handle a.
2. The improved cream whipper or egg beater substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.
Dated this 20th day of March 1899.
