An Improved Bath and Lavatory Grating.
SIDNEY KIND, 54, Wellesley Road, Leytonstone, London, N.E., Builder. I
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to allow the grating of a bath or lavatory basin
to be easily removed for the purpose of cleansing the space between the waste
valve and said grating. After removing the grating and raising the the waste
valve the waste pipe itself may be cleansed by means of a suitable rod and brush.
The grating is provided with plugs and stops which fit into slots in the bath or
basin. The plug and slots are so formed that when the grating is in its place the
grating will remain firmly fixed but on raising the grating by a small projecting
portion or a groove the plugs or stops on the grating are brought into such a
position that the enlarged portions or heads of the plugs or stops come into
line with the enlarged portions of the slots thus allowing the grating to be
removed.

Improvements in Materials for Harness.
I, JOSEPH HENRY GOODWIN, of Allison House, Sutton, near Retford, in the County
of Notts, Steel Manufacturer, 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 improvements in harness, and has for its object the
manufacture of traces, collars, bridles, and other parts of harness in such a manner
as to render such harness much superior in strength, pliability and durability
than the ordinary leather harness at present in use.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1, is a longitudinal section of a portion of a trace formed in accordance
with my invention.
Fig. 2. a plan thereof.
Fig. 3, is a transverse section of the said trace through line A-B, while,
Fig. 4, is a similar sectional view through line C-D.
Referring to the drawing, wherein like letters of reference indicate like parts
throughout the several figures, a represents the inner core of thin hardened and
tempered steel, which may be covered with a sheath of canvas (not shewn) to pro-
tect such core against the effects of the atmosphere, and at the same time prevent
the edges of the former cutting or otherwise injuring the leather portion of the
trace. The core a may be of single form or it may be of double form as shewn,
or such core may be doubled at the ends only in order to enclose the links as shewn
at b. In lieu of a canvas sheath, I may employ one composed of india-rubber,
composition, or other suitable material. Where I employ a core of double form,
the two halves may if desirable, be rivetted together.
Surrounding the sheathed core a is an outer cover c'of leather, in order to render
the trace similar in appearance to that of an ordinary one, and also to give such
trace the necessary solidity and finish.
Although I have shewn the invention as applied to a trace, it must be under-
stood that such invention is equally applicable, to the manufacture of collars,
bridles, straps for collars, saddles, hip-straps, belly-bands, pole-straps, reins and
all parts of harness used upon horses and other draught animals.
If desirable the ends of the loops may enclose the core a for à portion of its
length, as shewn at d, and be rivetted thereto in any suitable manner.
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 Coupling for Cords or Belts.
We, HILTON COOK BROOKS and SIMEON SPENCER BROOKS, both Manufacturers,
of Chester, in the County of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, U.S.A., 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 coupling tip for the end of a flexible cord or belt.
The object of the invention is to provide a tip for this purpose which is very
small and inexpensive to manufacture and which can be applied to an end of a
cord or belt with facility in such manner that it will not pull off.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated by the accompanying drawing is
formed to shape, of wire which is coiled into a hollow body slightly smaller in
diameter at one end than the other, the larger end being provided with a coupling
hook.
Fig. 1 of the illustrations is a side elevation of a coupling for the end of an
elastic, cotton, rubber or other flexible cord. Fig. 2 is a plan of the larger end
of this tip. And Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same.
The hollow body 1 is formed to shape by any common coiling machine, of
strong metal wire or rod 2 that can be either square, round or flat in cross section.
This body is coiled so that one end is larger in diameter than the other and the
end of the wire at the larger end is extended longitudinally of the coil and bent
to form an oblong open loop or hook 3. The end 4 of the hook is bent outwardly
to facilitate the coupling together of two of these tips and the neck 5 of the
hook is contracted to form an eye which will retain the hooks of the tips that
are coupled.
A knot is formed in the end of the cord that is drawn through the body of
the tip and then the knot is pulled into the body toward the smaller end. This
tip is particularly desirable for the fastening of elastic cord or belting, although
it can be used for the ends of cord of other material. The end of an elastic cord
may be provided with a knot and, after the knot has been drawn into the body,
the body may be turned so that the end will be by the spiral coils screwed in
toward the smaller end of the body of the tip. When this action takes place,
the knot is compacted and held against loosening so that it cannot be drawn
through the smaller end of the body.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
-
A belt coupling formed of a tapering coil of wire with an integral hook
extending from the larger end of the coil.

of Glasgow, North Britain, Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:
-
Ih spirit levels presently in existence, it is very difficult in dark and foggy
weather to discern the contrast between the air bubble and the body of the fluid
with the result that a great deal of time is lost in ascertaining the level of any-
thing. The object therefore of my invention is to get over this difficulty, and
I effect this by placing in the tube a fluorescent liquid, such as eosine or
fluorescine and with a mirror, or white, black or colored background. With this
the color of the air bubble does not receive the light which the surrounding
surface of the liquid receives and it thereby renders a clear and distinct contrast.

SAMUEL REDFERN, Engineer, 2, Swan Lane, New Brown Street, Manchester,
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:
The invention relates to packing in which a plaited metallic wearing surface is
used in certain forms fixed to a backing of asbestos, hemp or other textile material.
The combination forming a more pliable & efficient packing than heretofore.
Figures 1 & 2 illustrate respectively the cross sections of engine packings in
which these improvements are einbodied. In Fig. 1 the packing is supposed to be
made of a rolled up textile fabric A with the wearing part B composed of a plaited
metallic tape made in a flat form. In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the
wearing surface is composed of the plaited metallic tape made in triangular form.
As shown by the Figures 1 & 2 the plaited metallic tape is on one side of the
packing only & that is the side where all the wear & tear takes place & by using
a flexible material to form the remaining part of the packing it makes the pack-
ing very light, but durable & pliable so that it requires very little pressure on
the gland to make it adjust itself to the wearing surface to keep steam, or air,
or fluid tight.
Around three sides of the combination packing is a layer of the fibrous material
laid on with solution, & is solutioned on to the top & bottom of the metallic tape
& so binds the fibrous material & metallic tape together. The accompanying
drawings show in what manner the invention is carried into effect.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
(1) The combination of a plaited metallic tape to form solely the wearing sur-
face laid on the face of a soft & pliable material such as asbestos canvas or other
woven or fibrous material.

A Device for Securing Doors or French Windows and the like
in an Open Position.
I, HEINRICH FRIEDRICH ANDREAS LOHMANN, of No. 32, Wall, Kiel, Germany,
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 a device for securing doors French windows and the
like in an open position automatically and obviates the necessity of securing such
parts by hooks manually which is often overlooked when required and the
windows doors &c. are wrenched off their hinges by such oversight.
In order that this invention may be the better understood I now proceed to
describe how it may be carried into effect reference being had to the accompany-
ing drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters refer
to like parts in the various figures.
Figure 1 is a front view of the device.
Figure 2 is a plan thereof when the window is closed and Figure 3 is a plan
thereof when the window is open.
A levere is pivotted to the window-sill, casement or equivalent part, and is
tapered so as to end in a flat spring it is provided with a pin g and button or
knob h, see Figures 2 and 3. On the window half a is arranged a plate or bar 1,
Figure 1, on which is situated a guide rod, on which slides a loop or eye piece i,
fixed to the lever c. The plate or bar has a recess m corresponding to the
diameter of the pin g.
The action of the device is as follows: When the window or similar part is
closed the pin g or the lever e attached by the eye i to the guide rod k of the
window or similar part bears against the bar 7 and rests in this position. When
the window is opened, the lever e joins in the rotary movement until the pin g
has entered the recess m of the bar the eye i having simultaneously arrived at
the end of the guide rod k. In this manner the window or similar part is
absolutely fixed and can only be closed when the pin g has been lifted out of the
recess m by the knob h.
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:-
A device for securing doors French windows and the like having a lever e
pivotted to the window sill, casement or similar part, tapering into a flat spring
provided at the point with a pin g, and a knob h, guided by an eve i on a guide

page_text: rod k, arranged on the window or similar part, the latter having a recess m to
receive the pin g of the lever e when opened in order to automatically secure the
window or similar part a in open position substantially as described.

An Improvement in Lamp Chimneys.
I, GEORG KLEMANN, of No. 10, Astern Strasse, Hannover, in the 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 improvement in lamp chimneys, the purpose
of the invention being to facilitate blowing out of the flame without entailing any
danger in such action.
I will now proceed to describe my invention more fully, reference being had to
the accompanying drawings, in which a lamp chimney having the present improve-
ment applied thereto is illustrated.
The invention consists in cutting away or otherwise removing part of the upper
edge of the lamp chimney a, thus producing a notch of any desired or required
size and shape. To extinguish the flame of a lamp provided with such a chimney
it is only necessary to slightly blow into the notch b, such being amply sufficient to
extinguish the flaine.
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 lamp chimney having the present improvement applied thereto as and for the
purpose specified, and as shown in the accompanying drawings.
