"Improvements in Apparatus for Uncoupling Carriages.
I, JOHN BENNETT of 7 Cromwell Terrace Leek, in the County of Staffordshire,
retired Schoolmaster, 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 an improved method of, and means for uncoupling or
slipping carriages or trucks, and has for its object the uncoupling of railway
carriages and the like by mechanical means, instead of by hand as heretofore.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my improved uncoupler, shewing the
various parts in their normal position before the act of uncoupling.
Figure 2 is a side view of the parts aforesaid, after the carriage or truck has
been uncoupled.
In carrying my invention into effect, I construct a hook A said hook being
attached to the rear of a carriage or truck, and having a hook shaped piece of
metal adapted thereto, said hook shaped piece B being pivotted at its apex by
means of a pin a or equivalent passing through the hook A. A second piece of
metal C is also attached to the hook, being pivotted at band is of triangular form
as shewn, and is connected with the hook shaped piece B by means of a bar or
lever D, said lever being secured by means of a pin or equivalent as shewn, at
either end. To the top of the triangular piece above mentioned is attached another
lever d communicating with a handle e fixed to a cross bar or shaft running across
the back of a carriage or the like, said handle being placed on the side of the
truck or carriage. When it is desired to uncouple a carriage or a series of
carriages, the shunter standing or running beside them, turns the handle e from a
horizontal to a vertical position, this movement causes the piece C to revolve on
the pin band by means of the lever D raises the piece B into the position shewn
in Figure 2 thereby releasing one carriage from another. On releasing the handle
the weight of the various parts causes them to resume their normal position.
Instead of connecting said lever d to the triangular shaped piece C, I may
connect said lever directly to the piece B thereby doing away with said triangular
piece.
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 uncoupler, the combination of parts as herein set forth and shewn in the
accompanying drawings, and for the purpose as herein described.

Improvements relating to the Means for Connecting or Fastening
Together Building Stones or Slabs for the Formation of Walls
or Ceilings.
I, ERNST REISS, Manufacturer, of Düsseldorf, in the German Empire, 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 the means for joining or securing together plates or
slabs of natural or artificial stone, in order to form walls or ceilings.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 represents a wall formed by means of my new contrivance,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same,
Figs. 3 to 8 are detail views of the connecting pieces.
The plates or slabs to be joined together are provided with slots or nicks e, e,
Fig. 1, which may be produced in the moulding, or cut by means of a saw or other
suitable appliance, in such a manner, that in any joint between two plates, the slots
of one plate are exactly opposite to those of the other plate. Consequently,
adjoining plates may be connected with each other, by inserting a strip or key of
sheet metal into two corresponding slots or recesses. That part of the said strip,
which projects over the plates is then bent down, so that it cannot shift accidentally
and prevents also the shifting of the plates in any direction.
The strips or keys of sheet metal may be bent, before they are inserted into
their grooves, either to the right or to the left, as indicated by Fig. 3, where one
end is bent to the right and the other to the left. Figs. 4 and 5 represent a
strip bent into a ☐ shaped key.
In Figs. 6, 7, and 8, each end of the strip is split into two halves, one of which
is bent upward, and the other downward. One half of the groove or slot
for receiving the sheet metal strip may be placed in the joint between two
stones.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The method of connecting or fastening together building stones or slabs for
the formation of walls or ceilings, which consists in providing adjoining slabs or
plates with slots placed in pairs exactly opposite each other, so as to form grooves
or slots across the joints, and inserting into the said grooves or slots strips of sheet
metal, the extremities of which are bent down either before or after insertion, so
as to prevent the accidental displacement of the said strips and of the plates,
substantially as described.
2. The combination of building stones or plates having grooves or slots across
their joints, with sheet metal keys formed and arranged substantially as described,
for securing together adjoining plates.

We, MAX UHLITZSCH and ERNST KRETZSCHMAR, both of Poppitz, Dresden
in the German Empire, Velocipede Manufacturers, 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 object to improve the velocipede tyres of the kind
called "cushion" tyres. It consists in manufacturing the same of such a cross-
sectional form as will economise the material and increase the elasticity and
durability of the same.
The tyre of this invention is shewn in the accompanying drawing in cross.
section and in position on a corresponding velocipede wheel rim, a being the india
rubber tyre, b the hollow space in the same and c the metal rim of the wheel.
In tyres of such a cross sectional form as that shewn the elasticity is increased
by making the hollow tubular space of largely greater diameter than is practicable.
with round tyres of the usual kind, which latter when the hollow space is large are
pressed inwards and flattened too much as they cannot hold air under pressure,
thereby being gradually cut through by the sickle shaped metal rim of the
velocipede wheel, which cannot occur with india rubber tyres a and wheel rims c of
the form shewn.
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:-

Locknut Device.
I ELSBETH LÖHNERT of Bromberg Germany Spinster 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 locknut device consists of a ring which acts as checknut and is screwed
against the nut proper the checknut being made of soft tough material and a
portion of its wall or circumference being adapted to be forced by means of a
suitable tool into a recess provided in the bolt so that the ring is thus fixed in
position and the nut proper also prevented from coming undone or loose. The
fastening or locknut device can only be loosened by turning the checknut with
great force, whereby the bulged part of the checknut is shorn off by the hard
screw thread of the bolt or forced out of the recess in the bolt. The checknut
may however be used again another part of same being made to enter the recess.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view of a bolt fitted with such
a locknut device.
Figure 2 is a vertical section Figure 3 a horizontal section shewing part of the
checknut bulged in and
Figure 4a horizontal section shewing the checknut intact or without a bulged-in
part.
The checknut or ring a the outside of which may be hexagon square round or
any other suitable shape is made of soft tough material by preference of copper.
By means of a spanner or tongs it is screwed firmly against the nut proper M so
that it acts as a check nut thereto. To prevent the checknut a from coming
undone the portion a¹ of same is forced into a longitudinal groove b¹ provided in
the bolt as shewn in Figures 2 and 3. Instead of the groove b¹ any other recess
If the
may be used for a portion of the comparatively soft checknut a¹ to enter.
nut M is to be further tightened up the checknut a is also tightened up by the
employment of some force in turning it whereby the bulged in part a' is shorn off
by the harder screw threads of the bolt bor forced out again. The checknut will
then have to be forced into the groove b¹ in another part. The undoing of the
device the tightening up of the checknut a and the securing of the same again can
thus be effected without removing the checknut a from the bolt b.
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
For securing a screw nut against coming loose of itself the application and use
of a ring acting as a checknut made of a soft tough material and of any suitable
outer form a portion of said ring being forced into a longitudinal groove or other
recess provided in the bolt substantially as set forth whereby the nut is prevented
from coming loose of itself and can only be undone when by forcibly turning the
checknut round the bulged in part of same is shorn by the hard screw thread
of the bolt or bulged out again so that the checknut can be used over and over
again.

Improvements in Cloths known as "Dhooties."
I FREDERICK LIDDELL STEEL (of the firm of Messrs. Glazebrook Steel &
Company) of No. 11 Mount Street Manchester in the County of Lancaster
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 :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of cloths or fabrics known as "Dhooties"
and principally worn as loin cloths by the natives in eastern or tropical countries,
and especially to such "Dhooties as are made with an ornamental printed border
along each selvedge.
"
"
Hitherto the colored borders upon printed "Dhooties" have not possessed much
brilliancy or solidity of appearance in consequence of the thinness of the material
kind of muslin) of which the "Dhootie is made, and the objects of my inven-
tion are to improve the appearance of and give more brilliancy and a better effect
generally to the printed borders than has been hitherto produced and at the same
time to give more strength to the edges of the "Dhooties" and consequently to
make them more durable than heretofore.
For the purposes of my invention I weave the body of the "Dhootie " in the
ordinary way excepting at the selvedges where I draw into the reed about double
the quantity of warp threads (more or less as may be preferred) and for a width of
say about an inch or more from each edge according to the width of the border
required, and the consequence is that when the cloth is woven, the body or central
part presents the usual appearance of a thin, open fabric (like muslin) and that the
warp being what is called "crammed " at the edges the fabric is there more close
and solid.
"
Upon these "crammed " or solid woven edges I then proceed to print the colored
border as required and the result is that the borders so printed have a very much
more brilliant effective and solid appearance than any printed "Dhooties" hitherto
produced, at the same time that these "Dhooties are quite as cool in wear as the
ordinary ones and are much more durable in consequence of the increased amount of
warp which is "crammed " into the edges of the fabric thereby preventing their
liability to become torn.
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 improvements in cloths known as "Dhooties" consisting in first weaving a
solid or crammed" stripe along both selvedges thereof, and then printing the
colored border upon such solid or "crammed " edges as and for the purposes herein-
before more particularly set forth and described.

following statement :—
Referring to the drawing
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device complete.
Figures 2, 3, and 4 are detail views shewing, respectively, the cutting-frame,
cutting-lever, and steadying brace, or pin.
Figure 5 is a modification of Figure 2.
The cutting-frame (designated by the letter A) is composed of steel or wrought
iron with a steel-edge beveled, as at b, and with downwardly projecting end c, d,
which are preferably made pointed, in order that they may be driven into a block
or other foundation. The aforesaid ends c d may, however, be provided with
shoulders, screw-threads, and nuts to permit of the device being bolted to a stand
of any desired description.
One end of the frame A is provided with a transverse horizontal perforation for
the reception of a bolt E, by means of which the cutting-lever F, likewise pro-
vided with a bolt-hole, is secured in position with its cutting edge next the frame,
as shown in Figure 1. The lever F, like the frame A, is made of steel, or of iron
and provided with a steel cutting-edge.
A brace or pin G, having an eye for receiving the bolt E, is adapted to be
secured in rear of the cutting frame and lever, so as to insure steadiness to the
whole arrangement.
To guard against battering the edges of the cutting-frame, when securing same
in position each end thereof should be provided with a shoulder and hammering-
block, as shown at z z¹ in Figure 5.
From the peculiar construction of this device it will be seen that it is only
necessary to remove the 'bolt E to permit of the separation of the parts whenever
it is found necessary to sharpen the cutting-edges thereof.
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 1
claim is,
1. In a metal-shearing device, the combination of a frame having a cutting-edge
and downwardly projecting pointed-ends at each end thereof, as described, with a
cutting-lever and a bolt connecting same to the frame, substantially as and for the
purpose specified.
2. The combination, in a metal-shearing device, of a frame having a cutting-edge
and downwardly projecting ends, as described, with a cutting-lever, a brace, and a

page_text: bolt for connecting the lever with a frame and brace, substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
3. In a metal-shearing device, the combination, with a cutting-lever, of a frame
having a cutting-edge and downwardly projecting pointed ends, and hammer-blocks
at each end of the frame, a brace, and a bolt whereby the lever is connected with
the frame and brace, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

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 :-
Window strap plates for retaining the leather straps for opening & closing
windows of railway and other carriages are usually made of cast brass. My
invention relates to window strap plates stamped or pressed from a sheet of brass
or other metal & are produced as follows. I take a sheet of brass, steel or other
metal of any shape but preferably rectangular & by a raising or forcing process
1 draw down the central portion of sheet into the form A shewn in drawing & cut
out the flange portion not drawn down in the shape of intersecting circles, or
parallel sides with circular ends, the circular shape facilitating the insertion of the
strap plate into the sash if necessary.
A metal pin lengthwise of the rectangular portion is inserted to connect the strap
plate to the leather strap.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
A window strap plate stamped or pressed out of sheet metal for the purpose
above described and of the shape substantially as shewn and described.

Improvements in Knitted Shirts and Undervests, and in the
Manufacture of the same.
ALFRED MAX OELSNER and ARNO ARNOLD both of Siegmar Saxony
Merchants, 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 certain improvements in knitted shirts and undervests.
In underclothing of the above description as hitherto made the means employed
for the protection of the heart and lungs by the addition of an extra thickness of
material have only partially accomplished this for the reason that the usual
insertions for the chest are by far too small in proportion to the circumference of
the body, to cover the extremities of the lungs.
According to our invention as illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings
upon which:
Fig. 1. illustrates a front view of a garment embodying our improvements and
Fig. 2, is a vertical section through the same, a double thickness extends down
the front A, as well as the whole of the back B, from the collar C down to the
lower portion of the body D so that the extremities of the lungs and regions of the
stomach are fully protected.
In order that this double thickness may extend up to the neck or collar C, and
also in order to ensure a good fit around the shoulders E, the opening F, in the
garment is made in a slanting direction on one or other of the shoulders E, as shewn
on the accompanying drawings.
For carrying our invention into effect we modify the ordinary round machines
with four shuttles and having an even number of needles hitherto used for
manufacturing ordinary and plaited materials and upon which we have found
difficult to make shirts of small diameters, by using machines of small diameter
having only two instead of four shuttles and with an odd number of needles, instead
of the machines of large diameter having four shuttles and an even number of
needles.
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. In knitted shirts and undervests the formation of a double thickness of material
extending from the collar down over the stomach in front and on the back to the
lower portion of the body, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In knitted shirts and undervests as above described, the formation and use of
the slanting openings in one or other of the shoulders, substantially as and for the
purposes described.
3. The method of manufacturing knitted shirts and undervests by using round
machines of small diameter having only two shuttles and an odd number of needles.

An Improved Method of Manufacturing Key Blanks.
1, NIELS GEORG SORENSEN, of 11 Blasicholmstorg, Stockholm in the Kingdom
of Sweden, 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 method of producing key blanks which forms the subject of the present
invention, consists in stamping key blanks out of a plate or strip having a longi-
tudinal ridge semicircular in cross section on either side. The ridges on either side
of the plate are located one opposite another and serves to strengthen the material,
so that a key blank may be stamped out which has a greater diameter at the barrel
than the thickness of the bit. or the eye. The blank is stamped out so that the
said fillets will be connected with the barrel or shank.
In the accompanying drawing ;-
Figure 1 shows a face view of the rolled plate and
Figure 2 is a cross section of the same.
The plate is rolled in the shape of a strip with a longitudinal semicircular ridge a
at each side and in the middle of the plate. Figure 1 shows in dotted lines how
the key is stamped out. Incisions or elevations surrounding the barrel can also be
made in the rolling operation and stamping combined by providing the rollers with
corresponding elevations or recesses in the groove which forms the ridge, the
In lieu of rolling out a narrow strip
stamps being shaped in a similar manner.
with ouly one ridge on each side it is evident that a wider strip may be rolled
having on each side several parallel ridges at a suitable distance from each other
so as to allow the stamping out of several blanks from one strip.
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
The method of manufacturing key blanks, consisting in rolling out a plate or
strip with a strengthening piece in the shape of a semicircular ridge on each side
and stamping out the blank from the said plate, so that the ridges located opposite
each other will form the barrel or shank of the key.

Improvements in Draw off Taps for Bottles, Jars, Barrels, and the
like.
I ALFRED WILLIAM LINFORD of No. 20 Birdhurst Road, East Hill
Wandsworth in the County of Surrey Potter, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for its object to provide a tap protruding as little as possible
from the bottle jar or barrel so that it may not readily be damaged in transporting
articles of that kind necessarily provided with a draw off tap.
I make the tap preferably of earthenware as shown in the accompanying
drawings in all the figures of which the same part is indicated by like reference
letters.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved tap.
Figure 2 is a plan of the upper side of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section showing the parts in position when the plug of
the tap is approaching the "turned on point.
Figure 4 is a front elevation of Figure 2 and
Figure 5 is a view in detail of the cotter peg E.
The body of the tap A which may be secured in the tap hole of a bottle jar or
barrel in the usual way has a longitudinal tapered passage to receive the plug B of
the tap which is formed preferably with a milled disc or head to be grasped as a
handle for turning the tap "on" or "off."
The body of the tap is provided with a collar C through which the outlet
orifice D is made in an inclined direction so that the outcoming stream shall clear
the sides of the vessel from which the whole tap protrudes but to a small extent.
The plug B of the tap is kept in its position in the body of the tap A by the
cotter peg E which is passed down through a slot F formed in the body of the
tap A and wedged into a hole made through the plug B. Thus the cotter peg E
prevents the pressure of liquid in the vessel from forcing the plug B outwardly from
the body of the tap A when the tap is turned "off" and by its arrest at either end
of the slot F it defines the "off" and " on positions of the plug. As shown in
Figures 1, 2 and 4 the plug is turned to the position full "on" and in Figure 3 it
is turned partly towards the "off" position in order to show the cotter peg E in
elevation.
ן:
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 draw off taps, the combination of a perforated plug, a slotted tap body and
a cotter peg for confining the plug in the body of the tap and defining the "off"
and "on" positions for the plug substantially as described.
2. The improved draw off tap for bottles, jars, and the like consisting of a plug
inserted longitudinally in the body to reduce the prominence of the tap from the
vessel to a minimum substantially as and for the purposes described.

Improvements in Razor Handles.

Improvements in Razor Handles.
I, JOHAN ENGSTRÖM of Eskilstuna in the Kingdom of Sweden, 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 chief characteristic of this razor-handle is that it consists of one single piece
made of a double folded strip of sheet metal. The advantage attained is that no
special rivets are required for holding together the two halves of the handle, as at
the wider end they are connected by the fold and at the narrower end are held
together by the rivet serving as the pivot to the knife blade.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings—
Figure 1 represents a side view of the handle, and
Figure 2 an edge view.
Figures 3 and 4 are sections across a-b and c-d respectively.
The handle is made of a strip of some suitable metal. The strip is so shaped
that when folded at the middle B both its halves or legs A A constitute a razor
handle of the common shape. The common interspace for the razor blade must be
left between the two halves of the strip. In order that the handle may be made of
the thinnest possible sheet metal, but nevertheless be sufficiently rigid, the strip
may be bellied as shown in Figure 3. By means of stamping or by presses, a cross
section of any desired shape with or without figures in relief, bevelled edges, etcetera,
can easily be given. A depression is made round the hole intended for the pivot of
the razor blade so as to form a facing C at the innerside of the handle leg, which
facing rests against the tang of the razor blade. A similar hole and depression is
made at each end of the strip between which the razor blade is secured in the usual
manner. It is evident that the facings obtained by stamping may also be made by
soldering separate bits to each end of the strip.
As there are pocket knife handles consisting of a sheet strip folded longitudinally
at the middle, such handles are not included in this Patent.
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
The improvements in razor handles consisting of a metallic strip folded longi-
tudinally at the middle and having the razor blade secured between the free ends
of the legs which are shaped as a razor handle, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
