Illuminating and Advertizing Purposes. GAS LANTERNS AND STREET LAMPS
Year: 1884

page_text: Illuminating and Advertizing Purposes.
I THOMAS PICKETT of No 196 Cambridge Road Kilburn in the parish of
Willesden in the County of Middlesex Engineer do hereby declare the nature of
my Invention for THE CONSTRUCTION OF GAS LANTERNS AND STREET LAMPS
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention is for the improvement of the illuminating power of Gas or Oil
in Street Lamps or Lanterns for public or private use.
The construction of the Lamp being triangular is an improvement for Advertising
purposes. The framing is constructed to facilitate the repairs of Glass. The
Glass in all cases sliding into grooves thus doing away with bedding in putty.
The Invention provides for ventilation through a hole in A in Figures 10 & 11
and a space A in Figure 4 and is above the light by this means of inlet for fresh
air it will not affect the light and will keep the lamp cool and create perfect
circulation through the Caps at top.
In the accompanying drawing Figs. 1 & 2. are the elevation of a Triangular
Lantern, Fig. 3 is the section of same, Figs. 10 & 11 is a plan of the lower part and
Fig. 12 is the plan of the top.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged Section through B C on Fig. 1 shewing the means of
Ventilation and the slide for Advertising plate.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged Section through D E on Fig. 2 shewing door and catch for
lighting.
Figs 5, 7 and 8 shew the ribs which are marked on Fig. 3 in their respective
places. They are formed of rolled tubes with angle plates B and centre plate C to
form grooves to secure glass.
Fig. 4 shews the ventilation under the Advertising plate in the framing, F is the
groove for Advertising plate, G the Advertising plate, the ventilation is shewn with
arrows at A. The Advertising plate being in grooves can be easily replaced. H in
Fig. 5 is the stop at corners for the Advertising plate.
The dome is constructed with a Circular Cap with cavity to carry off the heat
sufficient to prevent the ordinary breakage of Glass.
.

page_text: This Invention includes a lighting door with counterbalance latch underneath
Lamp as shewn in Fig. 6 thus doing away with opening the large door and
decreasing the risk of breakage.
Fig. 9 shews the top of Lamp which is Opal glass fixed in grooves as before
described and the clips J turned up to secure same.
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
First. That the construction of the Lamp being Triangular it affords a larger
area of illuminating & radiating power over other existing Lamps with the same
amount of Gas consumed.
Second. The Glass being fixed in grooves allows for expansion and contraction
both of Glass and Metal thus saving about 50 per cent of breakage and dispenses
with their being embedded in putty as in ordinary Street Lamps.

I SAMUEL BEAVEN STEVENS of Reading in the
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
FOR SUPPORTING BOXES" and in what manner the same is to be performed to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
=
•
It is often convenient to be able to suspend boxes containing matches or other
small articles from a nail on a wall and boxes have been provided with projections,
cords or other devices for this purpose but these on account of the space they
occupy render it difficult to make up a number of boxes into a package.
According to my invention I provide the boxes with a holder for supporting them
from a nail which holder takes no appreciable space when the boxes are packed.
Figure 1 is a front view of a match box such as is commonly used for safety
matches provided with a holder by which it is supported-in this view the drawer
of the box is shown partly out.
Figure 2 shows a back view of the box closed and with the holder pushed down
out of the way for packing.
Figure 3 shows a section of the box and the holder on the line 1.1. Figure 1
and Figures 4 show the holder separately.
In these figures a is the outer case of the match box and b is the drawer. c is
the holder which is made of thin sheet metal. The ends d. d. of the holder are
bent round as shown in Figures and 4 and in dotted lines in Figure 2 so as to
embrace one of the sides of the outer case of the match box.
my said
Having now. particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is the holder substantially as described.

A NEW AERATING FLOWER POT
Year: 1884

page_text: I, EDWARD HELE CLARK of Ilex House, Star Cross in the County of Devon,
Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "A NEW
AERATING FLOWER POT" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement with
reference to the accompanying Drawings and to the letters of reference marked
thereon, that is to say :-
The object of this Invention is to form a flower pot in which air may be supplied
to the roots of, plants contained therein, and also to do away with the shores or
stones now required to be used.
This flower pot call the "aerating flower pot" and the same is made in the
following manner :-
In the sides or circumference of an ordinarily constructed flower pot I make two
or more apertures more or less opposite one another and through these apertures I
insert a hollow tube or tubes which are perforated by holes for the passage of air,
vapour or heat. These tubes may be of earthenware, fireclay iron, tin, zinc or
other suitable material and they are placed across the flower pot having each end
resting in or passing through one of the apertures aforesaid in the sides of flower
pot.
In order to facilitate the repotting of plants and to allow of the said tubes being
lifted bodily out of the pot with the plant, brackets may be cast or moulded in or
on the inside of 'flower pot to support the air tubes, the said brackets being so
situate as to hold the end of tube or tubes on a level with apertures in the sides or
circumference of flower pot.
The air passes through the apertures aforesaid in the sides of flower pot and
thence through the air tubes percolating through the holes in air tubes and thus
reaching the roots of the plant. To increase root action in delicate plants heat
may be conveyed through these tubes either by means of the bath or by plunging
in heating material. This system of aerating flower pot is also advantageous for
orchidaceous plants.
And in order that this my Invention may be more fully understood reference is
had to the accompanying Drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon,
that is to say :-
Figure 1 shews the flower pot A in.elevation with air tubes B inserted.
Figure 2 is a plan of same shewing air tubes B in position.

page_text: Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of flower pot A with air tubes B resting upon
the brackets C cast or moulded in or on the flower pot A and Figure 4 is an
illustration of the perforated air tube B.
Having how 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 :
.
First. The making of apertures in the sides or circumference of flower pots and
the insertion therein of a perforated tube or tubes for the purpose of conveying
air, vapour and heat to the plant.
Second. The casting or moulding of brackets on the inside of flower pots
containing these apertures for the purpose of supporting the air tubes aforesaid.
Third. The general construction and arrangement of flower pots substantially and
in the manner aforesaid set forth and described.

of the desired picture or design upon each.
The surfaces are so prepared that when the electrotypers mould has to be made,
one of the above mentioned blocks is impressed to obtain a facsimile on the surface
of the material forming the mould, the other block is then, while the mould is
moist, impressed upon the same surface to transfer that picture to the mould
which then has a perfect picture in reverse.
The mould is treated in the ordinary manner and a casting produced suitable
for printing.

declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
BROWN BREAD to be as follows:-
و"
This Invention consists in the manufacture of brown bread from a mixture of
granular wheat meal, and malt. I prefer to use the malt in proportion of about
one and a half pounds of malt to one stone of granular wheat meal.
Bread made from granular wheat meal and malt, as above described, will be
more agreeable to the palate, ensier of digestion, and more nourishing; and will
keep moist much longer than ordinary brown bread.

and Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BROWN BREAD, 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 in the manufacture of brown bread from a mixture of
granular wheat meal and malt. I prefer to use the malt in the proportion of about
one and a half pounds of malt to one stone of wheat meal.
In the manufacturing of this bread I make a sponge of the wheat meal with
about one third of the water required in the mixing of a given quantity. I then
thoroughly mix the malt with water, then pour the mixture into a tin or iron
vessel; next place it over a slow fire or gas stove, where I carefully stir it until
within a few degrees of boiling point. Next I add sufficient water to make up
the required two-thirds.
When the sponge is ready add the malt thus prepared, also a little salt, then
knead in the usual way.
When risen it is then fit for baking.
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 manufacture of bread from wheat meal and
'malt, substantially as above described."

Northumberland Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
LOCKING RAILWAY POINTS to be as follows:-
Each outside rail is perforated with one two or more circular holes to let the
rolling locking bars go through them likewise each of the points is perforated with
one two or more oblong holes to let the rolling locking bars go through them The
locks being a portion of the rolling locking bar near each end made in an oblong
shape to fit the holes in the points.
Each horizontal rolling locking bar is made to pass through the two outside rails
and likewise through the two points by means of the above described holes.
Each horizontal rolling locking bar has one or more levers attached to it which
lever or levers are made to communicate with the lever in the cabin by means of
rods and cranks so that when the lever in the cabin is worked each rolling, locking
bar is made to revolve.
When the lever in the cabin is in one position the locks are horizontal and
allows the points when worked to slide past them but when the lever in the cabin
is reversed the locks are turned vertical and locks the points firmly to the outside
rail.

Each of the outside rails is perforated with the same number of circular-holes
as there are revolving locking bars in the system, also each of the point rails is
perforated with the same number of oblong holes made to fit the locks on the
.locking bars.
The revolving locking bars pass through the above described holes, and are
connected by means of rods and cranks to the lever in the cabin, so that when
the lever in the cabin is in one position, the locks are horizontal and opposite the
oblong holes in the point rails, when the points are released and can be worked
each way but when the lever in the cabin is put in the opposite position the locks
are turned vertical and locks the point rail firmly to the outside rail.
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 The invention of horizontal revolving locking bars for locking railway
switches.
2 The perforating of the outside rails and point rails for the revolving locking
bars to work in.
