A Combined Walking-stick and Holder for Surveying Instruments.
I, GOTTLOB HÄUSSERMAN, of Strassburg, Alsace, in the Empire of Germany,
Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My invention relates to a device in the form of a walking-stick for holding a
prism, an angular mirror or other measuring instruments for surveying purposes.
The invention is characterised by the fact that the holder is so arranged that it
can be held in a perfectly vertical position, and the holder has the advantage that
the surveyor need not carry a larger one with him.
In the accompanying drawing-
Figure 1 is an elevation of my combined walking-stick and holder for surveying
instruments, the parts being in position for use as a walking-stick.
Figures 2 and 3 are similar views illustrating its application for holding a
surveying instrument.
The holder consists of a wooden stick A, Figure 1, the upper end of which is
provided with a spring metal cap m on which is screwed a hollow spherical knob B.
The latter is made in halves a and b, Figure 2, which are hollow and can be
screwed together. The stick is bored out to receive a metal rod c, Figure 2, which
fits and slides in the spring-cap m. The upper extremity of the rod c is provided
with screw-threads to allow of adjusting a hemispherical piece d thereon.
In order to keep the holder in a steady position when using it, the metal knob B
is first screwed off the stick A; the upper half of the knob is then removed from
the otlier half a and the metal rod e is pulled out of the stick to the required height,
the rod being held by the spring cap in any position. The surveying instrument S
to be used can be then fixed on the rod c by means of the screwed part above the
hemispherical piece d and, by lifting the hollow half knob a, the latter will form,
with the hemispherical piece d, a ball and socket joint by which the whole device
can be suspended in a perfectly vertical position.
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 holder for surveying instruments in the form of a walking-stick and con-
sisting of a hemispherical piece adjustable on a rod adapted to slide in the stick,
which hemispherical piece, together with one half of a hollow spherical knob, forms
a ball and socket joint upon which the holder can swivel freely so as to assume a
perfectly vertical position, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The combined walking stick and holder for surveying instruments hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Boats.
I EMIL LACHMANN, Manufacturer, of 9 Bishof Strasse, Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, 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 for improvements in boats has for its object to prevent boats
from capsizing and consists essentially of hinged brackets and sail cloths attached
to the boat and brackets so that by revolving the brackets the sail cloths are
expanded like wings when in use or packed close to the sides of the boat when
not in use.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan of a boat
fitted with the safety apparatus which is shown in the position required for use
and Fig. 2 is a sectional front elevation of the same.
The
A bracket a or b is pivotted at d d or c c to each side of the body e of the boat
so that the brackets can revolve on the pivots. The brackets a and b can be
fastened in two positions; the position of rest, in which the two outer arms of the
brackets a and b lie close to the length of the boat as shown in dotted lines in
Fig. 1, and the position for use in which the arms are spread out.
brackets a and are secured in the position of rest by pins passing through holes
in the ends of the inner arms of the brackets and holes in brackets fg fixed on
the boat. They are secured in the position of use by a pin passing through the
holes in the inner arms of the brackets. Sail cloths and k are secured to the boat
and to the outer arms of the brackets a and b. When these arms are spread out
as shown the sail cloths i and kare tightened and the apparatus is ready for use.
In the position of rest the sails are strapped close to the sides of the boat e. The
sail cloth does not lie upon the surface of the water and does not therefore hinder
the course of the boat; it only strikes the surface of the water in case of rolling
and in consequence of the great resistance which the water offers prevents the
upsetting of the boat.
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. Apparatus for preventing boats from capsizing consisting of hinged brackets,
and sail cloths which by revolving the brackets can be expanded like wings or
packed close to the sides of the boat substantially as described.
2. Apparatus for preventing boats from capsizing constructed substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

An Improved Spout for Tea Pots or other similar Vessels.
Year: 1892

page_text: Date of Application, 8th Aug., 1892-Accepted, 10th Sept., 1892
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spout for Tea Pots or other similar Vessels.
I, HERBERT ENGLAND of Christchurch in the Provincial District of Canterbury
and Colony of New Zealand, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my inven-
tion 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 an improved formation of the mouth of spouts of tea
pots or other similar vessels. The spouts of such vessels heretofore have been so
formed that when pouring out the liquid from a full or nearly full vessel a certain
quantity generally dribbles or drains down the outside of such spout, frequently
causing annoyance and trouble.
Now the object of my invention is to prevent any portion of the liquid from so
dribbling or draining down the outside of said spout during the process of pouring
from said vessel.
I attain this object by making the neck of the spout curved and lowering the
bottom lip of the mouth of said spout as hereinafter described with reference to
the drawings hereunto annexed wherein Fig. 1 is a side view of a spout showing
the improved form of mouth and Fig. 2 is a section of same.
The lower lip A is curved as shown, and the bottom edge a, which is the last
point at which the liquid leaves the vessel when pouring therefrom, is carried below
the point b thereby preventing any of the liquid dribbling or draining down the
outside of the spout; thus the liquid can be poured from a full vessel with as much
freedom, without the risk of any such dribbling or drainage as from one only partly
full. This form of spout will also cleanly divide the liquid, so that there will be
returned to the said vessel all liquid that does not fall into the receiving vessel.
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 :-
Making the lower lip A of the mouth of spouts of tea pots or other similar
vessels curved, and with the bottom edge a lower than the point as shown in the
annexed drawings and substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described
with reference to such drawings.

Improved Means for Preventing the Formation of Scales in
Steam Generators.
AUGUSTE BRETEL, and ALPHONSE GAILHARD, Manufacturers, both of
36 Boulevard Périer, Marseilles, France, 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 a novel means for preventing the formation of
scales in steam boilers; the said means consists, broadly speaking, in the employ-
ment of a vegetable substance. The vegetable substance we employ is for instance
either one or the other of the barks of the trees hereinafter mentioned, viz. the
Menoza tree which grows in Australia, the socalled Nattes trees which grow in
Madagascar, the socalled Garouilles trees which grow in Africa and the Oak tree
which grows in France and other European districts.
:
The bark of any one of the hereinbefore mentioned trees can be used as it is, in
a more or less broken up state, or it can be first pulverised and then sifted or
again it can be formed into a more or less consistent paste or cake obtained by
adding water. The selection of the bark will vary according to the nature of the
lime-stone to be eliminated. A liquid can also be prepared by boiling the bark
and then concentrating.
The portion of the bark may vary, but we have found that for a steam generator
containing about 4000 liters of water, four kilogrammes or thereabouts of bark will
give good results, the proportions being say 500 grammes per horse-power.
These proportions can however be departed from according to the feed water
used and according to the lime-stone to be dealt with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
The hereinbefore described means of preventing the formation of scales in steam
generators, consisting in the employment of a vegetable substance, formed of one
or the other of the barks herein before named or of a combination of any or several
of them, substantially as hereinbefore described.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Mineral Wool.
I, CHARLES HENRY HUBBELL, of 114 Queen Victoria Street, in the City of
London, 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 the ingredients used in the manufacture of mineral wool,
and consists in making mineral wool from granite by the aid of a suitable flux.
Now according to this invention I take one part of granite and about two parts
of lime stone or other suitable substance to form a flux and fuse them together in a
cupola or other suitable melting furnace.
When the mixture of granite and flux is fused and thoroughly incorporated the
furnace is tapped and the molten material is run out and subjected to the action of
a jet of steam (superheated or saturated) or air preferably hot, and thus separated
into filaments which are collected in any suitable manner. The flux I have found
most suitable for my purpose is limestone or lime but I do not confine myself to
these as other alkaline substances having a calcic base may be used neither do I
confine myself to the proportions as above given as these will necessarily vary
according to the condition of the ingredients or composition of the flux.
In conclusion I would remark that I claim no novelty in the process of melting
the material imparting a fibrous character thereto and the means for collecting the
fibre, but
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 the manufacture of mineral wool consisting in the use of
granite in combination with a flux having a calcium base in about the proportions
stated.

Improvements in Tentings and Tarpaulings and Cloth for the same.
I, GEORGE EDDISON STEAD of Skinner Lane Works, Leeds, in the County of
York, Linen 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 :-
My invention relates to tentings and tarpaulings and consists in the manufacture
and use of an improved cloth for the same.
The ordinarily used materials for manufacturing cloth for tarpaulings or tentings
are all flax or hemp or all jute or a combination of these and they are woven single
warp and single weft or a warp of two untwisted threads and a twofold or single
weft. These materials are dark coloured, not admitting of a clear light coloured
dressing being used, and besides make a hard stiff cloth, the stiffness of which is
further increased by the dressing put on, thus rendering tarpauling sheets difficult
to fold and most unwieldy to manage or handle, all of which has a tendency to
cause the dressing to crack and render the sheets almost immediately
unwaterproof.
The object of my invention is to remedy these defects by making a cloth in such
a manner and of such materials that a uniform light colour on both sides of the
cloth and great suppleness and pliability is obtained, a condition highly desirable
when used for tarpauling purposes.
I attain these objects by weaving the cloths of a three fold cotton warp putting
in as many as 96 threads to one inch and of a thick weft, using by preference a two
fold dry spun flax or hemp yarn. For general purposes I use by preference
a 24's threefold warp and a twofold 12 leas weft. These counts and set may be
somewhat varied if heavier or lighter cloths be required.
In consequence of the fineness and closeness of the warp threads, these alone are
visible on the surface of the cloth, which has the appearance of being a solid white,
admitting of its being dressed for the purpose of making it thoroughly waterproof
with any light or fancy coloured preparation. Its suppleness renders a dressed
tarpauling sheet made of the same very much more handy to use and fold up, and it
will retain its waterproof properties for a much longer period than the ordinarily
used stiff and unwieldy tarpauling sheets. The cloth may be used for tenting either
dressed or undressed.
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.
Firstly. The manufacture of cloth for tenting and tarpaulings substantially as
hereinbefore described.
Secondly. The manufacture of tentings and tarpaulings with cloth woven.
substantially as hereinbefore described.

An Improved Stoneware Insulator for Planofortes.
EDWARD WALLACE BISHOP trading as E. Bishop & Sons Belmont Street
Chalk Farm Road London N.W. Pianoforte 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 :-
With concaved bases to act on the principle of a bridge as shown in the drawing
marked A & to prevent the vibration descending. The mixture of the flint with
the stoneware is one of the principal things for producing a prompt & clear tone to
the pianoforte.
Also the insulator being constructed on the principle of a bridge claims its
bearing from the outer portion only & therefore enables the pianoforte to produce
a third more tone than hitherto obtained.
The construction is calculated to stand the weight of 8 cwts. (which would be
the heaviest piano manufactured) with perfect safety & at the same time only
raising the key board of an inch.
This stoneware insulator is 75% greater in value to the pianoforte than any
insulator previously manufactured. The proportion of flint used is one third to
two thirds of the stoneware. They are manufactured in various designs & colours
to suit the various woods.
This insulator is also constructed to stand the excessive weight of the pianofortes
which are made heavier yearly.
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
The insulator made of a compound of flint & stoneware.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of one of our improved valve
cocks.
Figure 2 an end view and Figure 3 a side view of a valve plug A' hereafter
referred to.
Instead of placing the valve seating at the centre of the length of the valve
cock and forming the shell with a swell below the valve we form the outer
shell A, on the lower side straight from the inlet B, to the outlet C, and place the
valve seating nearest the inlet end, and slightly above the inlet and outlet
thoroughfares. We are thus enabled to make the diameters of the seating orifice
and thoroughfares fully as large as the interior diameter of the inlet pipe B' and
the outlet pipe C³, “instead of making the seating as heretofore to contract the
inlet and outlet passages."

We employ either a conical valve plug A¹ as shown at Figure 1 or a semi-
spherical plug A' as shown at Figure 3. either of which may be closed or opened
by means of a screw threaded stem working in a screw threaded gland A' at the
top of the outer shell, operated by a hand wheel A' in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said

parts. The fittings &c. for the interior such as linings, cushions, curtains, mats &c.
may be made from aluminium textile fabrics described in Darlow's Specification
23741 23/12/92 which are more durable and lighter than those ordinarily used.
The heavier sections of the carriage, such as shafts, wings, springs or steps may be
given variety of color by alloying. These or any other parts of the vehicle may be
wrought or cast as desired. 1 then paint, varuish or decorate in the ordinary way
or stamp, chase, emboss, or leave plain the face of the carriage, which saves labour
in cleaning and lends to more elegant appearance than the present method.
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 improved construction of carriages consisting in forming the whole or the
main parts of aluminium or alloys of aluminium, substantially as described and for
the purposes specified.

Complete Specification Left, 26th Apr., 1894-Accepted, 16th June, 1894
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Compound Asbestos and other Fibrous
Packings.
I, ALFRED EDWARD HOWARD FIELD, of 12 London Street, in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to packing of the kind in which asbestos or other fabric is
rolled up with cement and generally with caoutchouc rods or strips arranged in
different forms either in the centre or in several of the last convolutions.
In packing of this kind it has been found of advantage to introduce between
the convolutions thin metal sheet, such as lead or white metal foil, but as the
cement employed, does not adhere to the metal, the convolutions of packings so
made are liable to become separated. According to my present invention, I
provide against this by perforating the sheet metal with a number of small holes
through which fibres of the fabric are forced by the pressure of rolling, the cement
also penetrating from each convolution of the fabric to the next, causing them to
cohere.

Improvements in Loom Shuttle Guards.
I, EDWARD SMITH, of Bank Foot Mills, Wibsey, Bradford, in the County of
York, 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 certain improvements in loom shuttle guards, and has
for its object, the construction of the same in such a manner that, on putting the
loom in motion the guard is automatically thrown into such position as to prevent
the shuttle flying out of the loom and doing bodily harm to the weaver or person
near the loom.
In describing my invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying
drawings, in which
Fig. 1 represents a front elevation of the hand rail of a loom to which my
improved shuttle guard is applied.
Fig. 2 is a plan thereof, and
Fig. 3 an enlarged sectional detail through line a. b.
Similar letters indicate similar parts where they appear.
The hand rail A of the loom is of the ordinary construction secured in the usual
manner, and to the said hand rail are secured two or more brackets B. having a hole
through same of such shape, as to retain the guard bar C secure when in the position
for protecting the shuttle.
In each bracket B. engages a finger plate D. secured to the guard bar C, the said
plates resting in the bottom and narrow portion of the bole H through the brackets B
when the loom is in motion.
The hole through the upper portion of each bracket B is enlarged for allowing
the guard to be raised and retained in the position shown by dotted lines, for
enabling the weaver to examine and repair any defects in the cloth or warp threads;
the guard bar C being supported by the projections E and guide bar C resting on
the top of the brackets B.
As soon as the loom is put in motion, the guard bar C is thrown forward, the
projections E sliding over the curved portion B₁ of the brackets B. allowing the
respective finger plates D to drop into the narrow portion of the holes at H as
shown by Fig. 3 and there retain the guard bar C. in the position for preventing
the shuttle leaving the loom.
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 :-
In a loom for weaving the arrangement and application of brackets B in com-
bination with the finger plates D and guard bar C substantially in the manner as
hereinbefore set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Syphon Flushing Cisterns.
I, JOHANN DIEDRICH MÖLLER of The Microscopical Institute, Wedel, Holstein
in the Empire of Germany 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 flushing cisterns for water closets and similar purposes
in which a bell syphon is provided within the cistern, its longer leg passing down
through the bottom thereof and secured tightly therein.
In the annexed drawing the improved cistern is shown; Fig. 1 being a sectional
elevation thereof Fig. 2 a cross section on line ...
The cistern k is filled with water through a supply cock controlled by the float a
in the usual way the same being adjusted so that the cock is closed before the level
of water reaches the summit of the syphon. Such cock being well known is not
illustrated in the drawing.
The syphon comprises the pipe i passing through the bottom of the cistern k and
secured therein, and the bell which is of such form that it covers the pipe and
returns downward within the same as shown at o in a tapering manner it being
spaced from the pipe i by cross partitions within the pipe as indicated in Figs. 1
and 2. The arm carrying the float a is pivoted outside the vessel and extends
over the upper edge thereof, with this arm is integrally secured the exterior
arm to the end of which a chain is attached.
=
If this chain be pulled the float a is further immersed in the water in the vessel k
than its ordinary floatative power will automatically hold it. Thus the water level
is raised and the syphon is charged. The latter will then empty the tank k down
to the level of the edge of its short leg.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved syphon cistern herein described comprising the bell syphoni i¹ and
the exteriorly pivoted arm with float a having integral therewith the arm t
whereby the syphon may be charged by pull applied to said arm t, the whole
substantially as illustrated and described."
