Improvements in certain Moulds used in the Casting of Metals.
I, JAMES SEYMOUR PHILLIP STUTLEY, of Hindley Street, Adelaide, in the
Province of South Australia, 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 substances or compositions in use for facing the sand moulds and the cores
in the casting of metals, and more particularly iron and steel, are at present either
plumbago or some other similar material or compositions.
The essential feature of my invention consists in the application to a like purpose
of a natural substance obtained from the mineral of the class commonly termed in
its crude state "soapstone," or "stéartite," or "steatite."
The soapstone, or steartite, or steatite, as brought from the quarry is broken
down by any known method and afterwards ground or otherwise reduced to a
powder. The crude stuff from the first reduction consists essentially of what is
termed steartite or steatite grease, mica, grit, and quartz. These several constituents
are during subsequent reductions mechanically separated by means of sieves of
increasing fineness; the mica, grit, and quartz, being gradually eliminated until
finally the stuff is passed through a sieve of preferably No. 9 mesh. The resultant
powder obtained from this sieve is the material or substance for the purpose
indicated.
The material or substance may be applied for facing the moulds in the same
way as plumbago and by its use castings with a finer surface can be obtained. It
may also be mixed with clay, or other suitable material, and water in order to form
the core wash in the proportion of say two parts of the preparation to one of thick
clay water. The result of which will be cleaner and more satisfactory casting
than with the present core washes.
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 :-
more
First. In the preparation of sand moulds for casting metals, and
particularly iron and steel, the application to such moulds as a facing, of a natural
material obtained from a mineral commonly termed soapstone, steartite, or steatite,
substantially as herein described and for the purpose indicated.
Second. In the preparation of the cores for moulds used in the casting of metals,
the combination with clay or other suitable material and water of a preparation or
substance obtained from a mineral known as soapstone, steartite, or steatite, in order
to form a core wash, substantially as herein described and for the purpose indicated.

I EDWARD GIBBON LAW 103 Queen's Road Peckham London S.E. Timber
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 object of this invention is an arrangement of rolled invoice forms with a
second roll of paper wound up with the invoices which will serve to take a copy of
the invoice by placing a transfer paper between the two when writing on the
invoice.
In using this invention I take the roll of two papers and put the same in a
suitable recess in a writing desk, and draw out the papers as required for use,
preferring to pass them under a band of metal attached to desk, for the purpose of
keeping them straight as drawn out: I have also found it convenient to attach the
transfer paper to the desk in front of the metal band, which can be done by drawing
pins, in this way the length of paper intended for the copy is passed under the
transfer paper and the invoice part over it, the length of the transfer paper being
limited to the length of the invoice: When the latter is written upon, that and
the copy are torn off together.
It will be readily understood that where more than one copy is required, two or
more lengths of copy paper will be rolled up with the invoice paper, and the whole
drawn out together, and a separate piece of transfer paper being put between
each copy.
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 [
claim is :-
Two or more lengths of paper for writing and 'copying purposes rolled together,
and used as herein before described.

Improvements in Evaporating Saline Solutions.
I, Sir LOWTHIAN BELL, of Middlesbrough, in the County of York, Baronet,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
In evaporating brine or it might be other saline solution I make use of the spent
steam from a steam engine which I first superheat in the following manner :-
I provide the steam boiler furnace with duplicate flues which I make use of
alternately. When one of the flues has been some time in use and has become
highly heated I, by means of suitable valves, transfer the products of combustion
to the other flue and through the heated flue 1 pass the spent steam from the
engine.
The superheated steam so obtained I admit beneath the salt pan which is thus
heated and at the far end of the pan the cooled and now moist steam is permitted
to pass away.
Or in a similar manner the steam may be made to heat in succession
a series of pans.

Improvements in Nut Locks.
We, EDWARD ELIJAH POOLE, JOHN DAVID DUNN, GRANVILLE GOODLOE
and PAUL NICHOLS, all of Fordyce, Dallas County, Arkansas, United States of
America, 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 certain improvements in nut locks.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved nut lock, exceedingly
cheap, simple and durable in construction and which can be easily made and quickly
applied and will most securely and firmly lock the nut.
The invention consists in certain novel features of construction and in com-
binations of parts more fully described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in
the claim.
C
Referring to the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a plan view of the lock holding a nut.
Figure 2 is an edge view thereof.
Figure 3 is a detail view of the washer.
In the drawings the reference letter a, indicates a bolt, and b, a nut thereon.
is the rectangular locking washer, cut, stamped, or otherwise formed from a
single piece of spring sheet metal. The washer has the central bolt hole d, and
the parallel diagonal cuts e, extending from opposite outer edges of the washer
inwardly in opposite directions. These slits form the tapered or annular tongues f,
which are bent up as shown so that they project in opposite directions and are
located on diametrically opposite sides of the bolt hole and have the inclined inner
edges.
It will be seen that these tongues f, are arranged in such manner that the nut
can be readily screwed tightly home by sliding over the tongues and pressing them
down.
The tongues immediately spring up when the corners of the nut pass over
them and hence prevent retrograde or loosening rotation of the nut. The sides of
the nut bear against and fit between the inclined edges of the washer as shown and
firmly and rigidly hold the same against. loosening rotation.
The washers are formed rectangular in shape so as to readily engage the lower
flange of an angle bar or a rail and hold the washer against turning or the ends
of the washer can be bent down to fit edges of a beam, bar or the like.
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 :-
The nut locking washer formed of a single piece of spring sheet metal
having the central bolt hole and the upwardly springing tongues formed by the

An Electric Heater.
We, EDWARD CARSTENSEN DE SEGUNDO, of 28, Victoria Street, Westminster,
Consulting Engineer, and WALTER DERHAM, of 76, Lancaster Gate, in the County
of Middlesex, Barrister at Law, 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 a simple construction of electric heater a vertical section
of which, as applied for heating water, is shewn by the annexed drawing. It
consists of an inner casing A and an outer casing B, both of metal, with an annular
space C between them covered at its ends by caps. On the outside of the inner
casing A is placed a layer D of soft non-conducting incombustible material such as
asbestos fabric. On this bed is wound a naked wire E preferably of metal having
low conductivity, the successive convolutions being sufficiently far apart to prevent
sparking from one to another. Insulated conducting wires are led down tubes F
and G and connected to the two ends of the coil of wire E, which becomes heated
when an electric current is passed through it. When the apparatus is applied for
heating water, it is placed as shewn within a water tank K. When it is used for heating
air it is placed open in an apartment, or within a casing through which air is
passed.
It may also be used as an oven for cooking, in which case the material to be
cooked is placed within the inner casing A, and the outer casing B is covered by
non-conducting material, which may be a layer of confined air, to lessen loss of heat
by radiation.
The wire E may be of cheap material such as iron or steel, and, in order to
provide against its oxidation, the air in the annular space C may be more or less
rarefied, or the space may be charged with gas that does not oxidise. As the
space C may however be made comparatively small, these precautions against
oxidation are not absolutely necessary, because the small quantity of oxygen
contained in the space would be exhausted without seriously affecting the wire.
In the drawing, the casings are shewn cylindrical the inner screwed to the top
and bottom covers. The casings may however be rectangular, polygonal or of
other forms, the parts being otherwise fixed together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
An electric heater consisting of an inner casing covered by a layer of asbestos
fabric or equivalent material on which is coiled a wire in convolutions at intervals
apart, and an outer casing and end covers enclosing the annular space containing
the wire, the ends of which are connected to suitable conductors, substantially as
described.

A Detachable Tube for the Wicks of Paraffin Lamps.
We, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junior and FREDERICK SHERWOOD of 44 to 50
Granville Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Lamp 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 and illustrated by the accompanying drawing :-
This invention is a substitute for long wick tubes, and is intended to remedy the
defect, caused by the difficulty of placing the wicks in the tube.
The lamp
made with a short tube A attached to the bottom of the burner
tube B, and projecting sufficiently to allow the detachable tube C to be placed
on it.
The wick is first threaded through the detachable tube, and afterwards through,
the projecting tube A and the ordinary tube B, in the ordinary manner, after
which the detachable tube C is placed over the end of the other tube, and the
operation is complete.
Thus it will be perceived that this invention has for its object, the means of
facilitating the placing of the wick in long wick tubes, and is carried out by
providing a detachable tube, slightly larger than the ordinary tube, and fitting over
a short tube attached to the end of the ordinary tube.
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 :-
A detachable tube for paraffin lamps arranged substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Wood Blocks for Flooring and other Purposes.
I, CHARLES JOHN LONGLEY, 'of Matlock House, Crawley, in the County of
Sussex, Contractor, 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 my invention is to construct wood blocks made in a manner to be
hereinafter described that when laid to form a flooring or pavement shall be so
securely held to each other as to prevent their being moved from the cement or
other adhesive preparation in which they may be embedded.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood reference is made to
the drawings hereunto annexed in which all corresponding parts are distinguished
by corresponding letters.
Fig. 1. is a plan view of a wood block.
Fig. 2 is a section on line . .
Fig. 3 is a cross section on line
Y. Y.
Fig. 4. is a plan view of a portion of flooring showing one of the many ways in
which the blocks may be laid.
The method of carrying out my invention is as follows :-The sides b of the wood
block A are cut, formed and grooved as shown in cross section Fig. 3, and the bottom
portion of the block extends at both ends beyond the upper portion, the ends which
form the tongue c, being cut and shaped as shown in Fig. 2, in order that they will
fit into the sides 6 of other blocks.
It will be understood by those accustomed to laying wood block flooring that
these blocks can be made in any desired shape, and that the tongues on each block
fitting exactly into the sides of other blocks hold them so firmly together that it is
impossible for one to be removed.
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 wood block for floors or other purposes made as above described and illustrated
in the annexed drawings.

A Steering Lock for Cycles.
ALBERT HOWARD WALL Hampden House, Milton Avenue, New Southgate,
London, N. Cycle 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 :-
A cylinder A B C having part of its length A screwed to fix to a machine, &
part B enlarged in the form of a nut. The part C has 2 bayonet catches cut in it.
This cylinder has a slightly reduced diameter G at about the middle of its length
forming 2 shoulders, & it encircles a bar I. H. F. which has a shoulder at J which
fits against the shoulder G of the cylinder. The end of this bar at I is reduced to
a convenient diameter. The part H is capable of passing freely through the
reduced diameter of the cylinder at G, and is encircled by a spring. The end F is
reduced to a convenient diameter to fit into the head D E either screwed or other-
wise. The head D. E. has the part D turned to fit the cylinder, & the part E of
convenient size to form a milled button. There is a pin through the head & bar
at K, which fits into the bayonet catches in the cylinder. The spring L L keeps
the enlarged part of the bar against the shoulder G of the cylinder & prevents the
end I from projecting beyond the cylinder until required. By pressing the head E
the end I of the bar will project into a hole bored into the steering stalk thus
preventing its turning & thereby locking the steering, & a slight turn of the head
will put the pin K into the catches M which will prevent the spring from moving
the bar. The dimensions will vary if necessary for convenience.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. This particular way in which the steering is locked, viz.-by passing a bar
into the steering stalk, (from the frame).
2. The means by which the said bar is kept in position either when locked or
unlocked.
