Safety Apparatus for Use in Window Cleaning and like Dangerous
Operations.
I, PAUL MAX LEHMANN, of 6, Jubiläumsstrasse, Trachau, near Dresden, in the
German Empire, 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 statement, reference being had to the
accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is
to say :-
-
This invention relates to a simple and reliable apparatus for preventing persons
from falling when occupied in cleaning windows, or performing similar dangerous
operations. The said apparatus has the advantage that when not in use, it can be
folded up so as to occupy but little space.
And in order that my invention may be readily understood I will describe the
same fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which :
Fig. 1 is a plan, and Fig. 2 a partial side elevation and section of my improved
apparatus.
The said apparatus consists essentially of a curved or bow-shaped bar a to which
fastening hooks b are movably secured. These hooks are inserted between the
open window sashes c and the window frame or casement d, whereby a reliable
hold is imparted to the bar a.
In order to prevent the hooks b from being accidentally pulled out of their
bearings, stays e are pivotally secured at f, so that they can be hooked into lugs g
arranged on the hooks b, and thus prevent said hooks from turning backwards.
The apparatus is completed by a stay or struth which is mounted on an anglo
piece fastened on or engaging the window sill k, and which supports the curved
bar a and so prevents it from falling.
The stay h may be constructed in various ways to suit different purposes.
When not in use, the apparatus, owing to its hinged or pivotal connections,
permits of being folded and reduced to a very small compass so as to be stored
away.
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 safety apparatus for protecting persons when cleaning windows (or engaged
in similar dangerous operations) comprising a curved bar (a) to which two
hooks (b) are pivotally connected and adapted to engage between the window
sashes and the frame and to be kept in this position by stays (e) secured to the
curved bar, a stay or strut (h) preventing said curved bar from falling, substantially

I, CHALLACOMBE WATTS, of Major Street, Manchester, in the County of Lan-
caster, Builder, 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 a roller for supporting an endless towel, known as a
roller towel" or other similar articles and is designed to provide a free and
easily rotating roller which can be readily removed and replaced as required.
It consists essentially in constructing the roller with conical pivots at both ends
which are supported in conical cups fitted to a wooden or other bracket, the cup
at one end (or both ends) being mounted on a spring so that it may be pressed
inwards to release the pivot from the cup at the other end to permit of the roller
being removed.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. Front elevation of roller in position.
Fig. 2. Plan of same partly in section.
The roller A is made of wood or other suitable material and on the central
axis of the roller at each end is fitted a tapering pivot B upon which the roller
rotates. In the frame or bracket C by which the roller is supported I fit or
mount two conical shaped cups D and D¹ made of pot, glass or other suitable
inaterial which receive the conical pivots B of the roller.
In order to permit of the roller being removed and replaced the cup D is fitted
inside a metal cone E and held in normal position by a spring d which presses
it outwards but which can be compressed sufficiently to allow the pivot being
withdrawn from the cup D¹ and also to be replaced therein.
If desired the cup D¹ may be similarly mounted upon a spring but I do not
consider it necessary.
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. A roller for holding towels and the like constructed with conical pivots at
both ends, and conical cups fitted to a bracket to support the pivots and roller
one (or both) of such cups being held in position by a spring capable of being
depressed to permit of the removal and replacement of the roller substantially as
described.
2. A roller for holding towels and the like having the several parts constructed
and arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.

I, ADOLF LESZYNSKI, of 84, Sackheim rechte Strasse, Königsberg, in the Kingdom
of Prussia, Works Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a roofing tile the outer or upper edge of which is
rounded, bevilled or otherwise so shaped as to offer little or no hold for the wind,
thereby preventing the tile being lifted out of its place by the latter.
The accompanying sheet of drawings illustrates one method of carrying the
invention into effect, Figure 1 being a view of a tile as seen from above, Figure 2
a view of the same tile as seen from below, and Figures 3 and 4 sections taken on
the lines A-A and B-B respectively of Figure 1.
The roofing tile a lies with the side shown in Figure 2 downwards, and is hooked
on to the roof lath by the projection b. The flanges c on the upper side of the
tile a are covered by the flanges d on the underside of the tile above it. The
downwardly banging edges of the tile a are rounded, bevilled, or otherwise shaped so
that they offer little or no hold to the wind, and consequently lifting of the tiles
thereby is prevented. The upper side of the tile a is hollow, as shown in
Figure 4, to facilitate the discharge of rain water when the roof has only a slight
fall.
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 :-
First. A roofing tile in which the edges which face downwards, when the tile is
in place, are rounded, bevilled, or otherwise so shaped as to offer little or no
hold for the wind, whereby the lifting of the tile thereby is prevented, substantially
as described.
Second. A roofing tile of the kind forming the subject matter of the first claiming
clause hereof in which the upper side is shaped concave in the middle, that is to
say parallel to the position in which the tile is hung whereby the discharge of rain
water is facilitated in roofs which have only a slight fall, substantially as
described.

tinuous steaming, it being so designed as to produce a continuous circulation of
steam. The apparatus is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying
drawings, in which Figure 1 18 an elevation and Figure 2 a plan of a saucepan
provided with the new device
The main feature of the invention is the arrangement of inclined or roof-
shaped rings on projections on a perforated food or like receptacle attached to the
cover of a sauce-pan or similar utensil for the purpose of attaining a uniform
steaming action.
The receptacle a, the bottom and walls of which are perforated 14 preferably
attached to lugs c on the cover b by clamps, hooks or other means
The cover
is placed on the vessel partly filled with water, so that the receptacle a depends
in the vessel, a rubber ring e on the cover may be employed to render the vessel
an tight Round the surface of the receptacle a are placed any desired number
of inclined or roof-shaped 1ings for projections which may be formed by pressing
in the metal where the openings aie made which guide the steam generated
into the receptacle For the same purpose ungs or projections f¹ mounted on a
perforated tube y seemed to the receptacle may be employed In this way a
complete cuculation of steam is obtained and the articles to be cooked are
uniformly steamed in a short space of time On the cover there may be a
water tiap hand handle 2, and, on the bottom of the receptacle, feet k. To
emove the articles the covei and receptacle are lifted out of the vessel d and the
cover removed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Rotating Fan for Personal Use.
I, EDUARD LYONS, Elisabethring 56, Budapest, Hungary, 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:
-
This invention relates to a new or improved rotating fan, and consists in causing
the fan to rotate by the pressure of a finger through the aid of a simple device,
(hereinafter described), thereby producing a current of air. The effect is greater
than with an ordinary fan, and less strain of the hands is required.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now refer to the
annexed drawings, which shew one method of carrying out my invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section.
Figure 2 horizontal section through the line - Figure 1.
The fan A is provided with a spindle B on the lower end of which a toothed
wheel C is secured. Gearing with this wheel is a rack d secured in a socket D.
This socket D and the rack d in the socket is telescopically arranged in another
socket E and is constantly pressed to the opposite side by a spring F, one end of
which is secured to the rack d. If the socket D is pressed into the socket E the
toothed wheel and the spindle with the fan will rotate in the direction of the arrow
(Fig. 2). When the pressure has stopped, the spring f will cause the fan to rotate
in the opposite direction. The socket D is slotted at a as shewn in order that same
may travel past the spindle B. A stopper or projection u is provided on the end
of the rack which catches into the toothed wheel b and prevents the socket D
from leaving the socket F.
The complete device may be fitted on a handle G of any convenient construction
or shape. The material and. shape of the fan may be of any convenient nature
without departing from the substance of my invention. The surface of the fan
may be provided with advertisements.
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
1. A rotating fan; of any convenient form and shape secured on a spindle and
caused to rotate through the medium of a toothed wheel provided on the
spindle; a rack gearing with said toothed wheel and secured in a socket con-
nected telescopically with another movable socket and a spring acting on said rack.
All in combination substantially as described and illustrated herein.

page_text: I, EDWARD WILTSHIRE, of Itchen Abbas, Alresford, in the County of Hampshire,
Farmer, 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 or connected with, fire-places, or grates,
and has for its object to provide means for obtaining a freer and more effective up-
draught in a fire-place or grate, than heretofore, for the purpose of rendering the
burning of a fire in such fire-place or grate more certain, while at the same time the
risk of the smoke given off by the fire entering the room or compartment in which
the fire-place or grate is situated is entirely obviated.
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to accompanying sheet of illus-
trative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fire-place with my improvements applied
thereto.
Fig. 2 being a side sectional view of same.
Referring to the drawings wherein like letters of reference indicate corresponding
parts throughout a is a hood, preferably formed of metal (though it may conveniently
be of any other suitable material) which has sides a¹ of triangular shape, the apex
being uppermost.
One of the lower angles (the front) of each of these sides a¹, is of an acute form,
while the rear one is of right angled form. By this means the hood a is given an
outwardly slanting position from the top to the bottom as will be readily seen from
the drawings.
These sides a have flanges a² provided with openings a³ for convenience in
fixing.
In operation the hood a is fixed by means of the nails or their equivalent b to the
brick work or the like of the fire-place or grate, over the opening d therein, the
said hood covering the upper part of such opening d and reaching downward a
sufficient distance to exert its influence.
By the use of my invention, a strong and continuous up-draught is ensured in a
grate or fire-place, thereby obviating the evil of smoky-chimneys and the like.
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 or connected with, fire-places or grates consisting in the
employment of a hood having triangular sides so disposed as to give the hood an out-

page_text: ward slant from the top to the bottom, said sides having flanges for fixing purposes,
substantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated.

improvements in or connected with Lining Bands for Hats or Caps.

page_text: Date of Application, 8th Aug., 1898-Accepted, 8th Oct., 1898
improvements in or connected with Lining Bands for Hats or Caps.
I, WILLIAM RICHARD PARTRIDGE, of 91, Turner Street, Sparkbrook, Birming-
ham, in the County of Warwick, Accountant, 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 or connected with lining bands for
hats or caps by means of which certain advantages hereinafter to be set forth are
obtained.
Lining bands or sweats for hats and caps as at present constructed permit the
passage of perspiration therethrough so that the said perspiration in time pene-
trates to and through the felt or cloth of which the hat or cap is formed and leaves
an unsightly stain.
My invention is designed to overcome this drawback and in carrying it into
effect I employ a band, strip or ring of sheet lead, tin or soft alloy. The said
band may be either attached or separate. In the former case it is attached either
to the body of the hat or cap or to the usual sweat or lining band and so as to bo
retained between the said sweat or lining band and the body of the hat or cap. Such
attachment may be effected by cementing or by stitching. In the former case I prefer
to cement the metallic band to the sweat or lining band rather than to the body
of the hat or cap.,
In the latter case I prefer to perforate the metallic band
with a series of orifices through which it may be conveniently stitched. When
the metallic band is designed to be loose or separate I simply cause it to rest
within the annular pocket which exists between the sweat or lining band and the
body of the hat or cap.
Although I do not limit myself to the precise metal or alloy employed I prefer
to employ thin sheet lead or lead foil.
A band such as I have specified may be made very light and adds but
inappreciably to the weight of the hat or cap whilst its advantages are obvious.
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 a lining band for hats or caps the employment of a metallic ring or
strip substantially as set forth.
2. In a lining band for hats or caps the combination of an ordinary sweat or
lining band with a metallic band or strip cemented thereto substantially as set
forth.
3. In a lining band for a hat or cap the combination of an ordinary sweat or

page_text: lining band with a metallic band or strip stitched thereto substantially as set
forth.

I, ADAM TATTON, of 95, Matilda Street, in the City of Sheffield, Ironmonger,
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 the production and combination for use as one of a
number of articles in frequent request by cottagers and small householders in
connection with ordinary domestic open bar front stove; the object being to
make the same more reliable and effective at a reduced cost.
The improvement will be more clearly understood by reference to the drawings
annexed wherein Fig. 1, is a half front elevation of a fire grate showing apparatus
as a coal-saver. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of the same with adjustable trevet
extended. horizontally. Fig. 3, shows the same in plan. Fig. 4, illustrates joint
end of trevet.
In carrying my invention into practice, I form preferably of malleable iron a
pair of cheeks or hangers H, each having two hooked projections for sustaining
apparatus more firmly upon the stove bars, B, usually forming front of a domestic
stove A, the cheeks are connected together by any number of smaller bars, b,
spaced vertically to come about midway between the said bars, B; on the opposite
edge of checks to the hooks I form a projecting bracket for the reception of a
round bar or pin P, which forms a fulcrum or joint pin by which a wire trevet
frame T, is carried, one end of this frame is formed as a handle, while near
each extremity I form a closed loop or slotted eye through which the pin P, passes
freely and finally bend the ends, t, at an angle downward to act as stops against
one of the bars B, for the horizontal position, or against the lower bar, b, when it
is desired to retain the trevet, T, at an angle, say as shown by dotted lines in
Fig. 2, by the use of the slotted eye the trevet may be securely held at various
angles as may be desired.
To the trevet frame T, is also fitted a metal plate, S, which serves as a shelf and
also as a fire-screen when raised to the vertical position whereby the front of the
fire is effectually covered.
Laundry irons may be placed for heating directly upon the plate S, or the
trevet T, with plate S, may be slipped off and the pin P be replaced the irons
being then placed directly upon P close up to the stove bars.
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:-
The construction arrangement and combination together of double hooked sus-
nender cheeks. H. together with the pin, P, with adjustable trevet. T. having

page_text: slotted eyes and retaining ends, t, with screen plate S, all for the purposes set forth,
substantially as described and illustrated.

ALFRED CHARLES WATSON, 38, Chesholm Road, Stoke Newington; London,
N., Elastic Web Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
An elastic fabric elastic in width only woven in a loom.
The weft being of covered india rubber thread (threads of india rubber
plaited with threads of cotton or silk commonly known as round elastic). The
warp is of fine cotton with warp's of very strong yarn worked off bobbins to hold
the edges straight.
The elastic thread is weaved across the shead of the warp's by a shuttle
different size shuttles are required according to thickness of weft used. They
are woven in piece lengths with each end fastened off by weaving a fine end of
covered elastic as shown in the accompanying drawing an inch of this fine is
woven at each end which is afterwards folded pressed down and hemmed with
needle and thread to form an edge top and bottom when sewn in an article
as a gussett.
The advantage of this web is that by weaving one thread of elastic from end
to end the rubber threads cannot slip from the stitches when sewn in an article
in narrow strips.
Where great strength of elastic is required, this is the best way to obtain it
in a web.

page_text: B is the fine elastic thread,
C is the fine woven pieces to fasten the ends,
D is the warp threads, E strong yarn at edges.
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; :-
1. The use of cotton or silk covered india rubber thread, or round elastic, as
a weft, to weave a long narrow width stretching web.
2. The fastening of the ends' of each piece of the web, (refered to in Claim
No. 1) by weaving a fine thread of covered india rubber.
