Improvements in Advertising.
1 ARNOLD WRIGHT KERSHAW, of Custom House Buildings, Lancaster in the
County of Lancaster, Architect, and Ventilating and Sanitary Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ADVERTISING to be as
follows:-
It may be stated at once that this invention would require the cooperation or
approval of the post office authorities, before it could be of any practical effect.
To render clear the object of the invention; the words "post office stamps" in the
following specification signifies the stamps used by post office officials, in defacing
postage stamps and for marking all letters, wrappers, post cards, parcels, telegrams
& all other papers &c. passing through post offices, with the usual date, number &c.,
and name of local or district post office through which they pass.
The proposed method of carrying this invention into effect is by having the "post
office stamps" so altered or made as to stamp one or more advertisements along with
the usual act of stamping the date, number, &c., and name of local or district post
office. The size and form of the proposed new or altered "post office stamps" as well
as the number of advertisements on each may be varied as required.
As the post office system is subdivided into districts it would be easily arranged for
advertisers to have their advertisements appearing in one or more districts or such
other divisions as might be devised, this is however a detail having no effect or
limitation on the scope of the patent itself.

We, EDWARD JAMES PATERSON and CHARLES FRIEND COOPER Electrical
Engineers both of 11 Pownall Road Dalston in the County of Middlesex 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 armatures of the Gramme or cylinder type and consists
in casting in one piece with the driving axle the centre part of the armature which
carries the soft iron core. This axle and centre we cast of non-magnetic metal. If
the soft iron core is built up of plates or washers we cast radial arms on the axle
the outside ends of which fit into slots or grooves cut in the interior of the washers.
If the armature core is formed of iron wire we cast on the axle a hollow drum with
flanges, on the exterior of which and between the flanges we wind the iron wire.
Sometimes we prefer to forge the centre piece and axle rather than to cast them.
In order that our invention may be understood we have appended drawings Figs. 1,
2, 3 and 4. Figs. 1 and 2 show an armature constructed according to our invention
the iron core of which is built up of thin plates. A, is the driving axle on which
are cast the three radial arms B, C, and D. The plates or washers E, having three
slots cut in the interior of each are fitted over the arms with a sheet of insulating
material between the adjacent plates. The ends K. K. are afterwards screwed or
otherwise fastened on the arms.
Figs. 3, and 4, show an armature with a core of iron wire constructed according to
our invention. F, is the driving axle on which are cast the three arms G, G, G,
supporting the drum H. On this drum and between its flanges we wind the iron
wire J.
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 :-
An improved method of casting or forging the centre part of the armature carrying
the iron core in one piece with the driving axle as described.

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 propelling vehicles and essentially consists
in the application of a lever- and transmission-device for mechanically winding
spring
and imparting the force produced thereby to the axle of the vehicle
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Fig illustrates the principle of the invention and
Figs 2 and 3 the same as applied to tricycles
The chain wheel A Fig 1 rigidly connected with ritchet wheel E is actuated by
lever G and click F secured thereto, ind its revolution is imparted by means of a
chain to the small chain wheel B rigidly connected with spring D
On turning the wheel A by means of the lever for about 8 or 9 feeth or sprockets,
the wheel B is revolved about 1 to 14 times according to the relative size of the
wheels and number of sprockets Thereby the spring D is wound, and the tension
thus produced causes the chain wheel C rigidly connected with wheel B to revolve
and communicate its motion by means of a chain to the chain wheel & connected with
the axle of the vehicle
In Figs 2 and 3, the springs D are wound by means of the two angle levers G,
drawing rods Z connected thereto and clicks F, the rider pressing with the feet on
the arms of the levers G, thereby causing the rods Z to alternately move forward and
backward and wind the springs by ud of the clicks F The springs being thus con-
tinuously wound by the up and down movement of the levers, their tension actuates
the driving mechanism without necessit iting particular exertion on the part of
the rider

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
In mechanisms for propelling vehicles, the combination with a spring, of chain
wheels, a ratchet wheel, a click and an angle lever, substantially as and for the purpose 5

I, WILLIAM HENRY DANIELS, of 7 Cavendish Grove, The Avenue, Southampton,
gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
samo is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to a form of submerged paddle wheel placed in the position
usually occupied by a screw propeller but in appearance favoring that of the former
rather than the latter. The invention will bo best understood by reference to the
accompanying drawings in which,
Fig. 1 represents a plan of the wheel as it would be in position, and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
The wheel consists of a boss A and arms B of any suitable construction, upon the
outer extremities of the latter of which is a thin circular plate or rim C, upon the face
of which and between another similar and concentric rim D are secured blades E set
at a suitable angle say for example 45° with the axis of the shaft.
As the wheel revolves the water is forced back passing between the blades E and
the rims C and D, the space between each pair of blades being completely closed in
excepting in a fore and aft direction by the rims C and D, so that the space between
each pair of blades is like a short tunnel through which the water is driven either in
the direction of the arrows in figure 1, or in the opposite direction according to the
direction in which the wheel is revolved.
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 propeller wheel such as described having blades such as E secured between
two concentric rims or bands such as C and D and adapted to operate substantially
as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The complete propeller wheel constructed and operated substantially as described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

the extra seam, is first sewn with one seam on the wrong side of the sacking or
bagging down the selvage both sides and at the bottom & is then turned inside out
and the other seam put together, thereby making the sack or bag with two soams at
the sides and bottom and also double material at the parts of the sack where there is
the most wear.
It prevents the bursting of the sack which so often occurs with the
ordinary sewn sack or bag & has also double material at the bottom where there is
also great wear, especially in coal or other hard substances.

page_text: I, WILLIAM ROBERTS of 2 Chapel Street Coalville, Leicester, Leicestershire,
Carpenter 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 the accompanying drawings:-
This Invention consists in hanging the sashes of ordinary Windows in such a way as
to do away with the weights which in raising such sashes compensate for the weight
of the sash.
My Improvements consist in passing a cord round a pulley arranged at the top of
the frame and one end of this cord is attached to the top of the upper sash and the
other end is attached to the top of the lower sash so that one sash balances the other
and when the lower sash is thrown up the upper sash descends to a like extent.
As I may sometimes desire to open the upper sash without the lower one I arrange
to attach the cord to the lower sash by means of a loop on to a curved pin so that the
cord can easily be detached from the curved pin on lower sash and hooked on to
another curved pin fixed into the window frame at a convenient place which will
allow the upper sash to descend as far as is required. By these means I arrange to
open my sash of an ordinary window without the aid of weights to compensate the
weight of the sash-also there is no necessity for the forming of the frame to receive
such weights and much expense and labor are thereby saved as the frame may be
solid. In order that the nature of my said improvements may be the more fully
understood, I will proceed to describe the several figures on the sheet of drawings
hereunto annexed, all of which figures are marked with the like letters of reference
throughout.
Figure 1. is a vertical section shewing my improvements in which A, A, is the
upper sash and B, B, the lower sash and C, C, is the cord connecting the two sashes
together and passing over the pulley D. É is the loop at end of cord C that hooks on
hook F on the lower sash or hook F¹ fixed to frame. G is the window frame in
section and HI shews the constructional Brick or stone work. K is the Bead inside
window frame.
Figure 2. is a sectional plan shewing the sashes and frame to which I fix my
improvements. M is the outside window cell and P is the interior plaster lining.
As my improvements are capable of various modifications without departing from
the principle thereof I do not restrict myself to materials dimensions, or to the precise
form or placement of the several parts thereof.

According to this invention I form the box of Cardboard or other suitable material
and at the side of the cover I form a hole or holes and I also form a hole or holes in
the body of the box in such a position that when the cover (if the box is cylindrical)
is rotated the holes aforesaid shall come opposite to each other so as to enable the
powder contained therein to be emptied out of the said box, without removing the cover
thereby avoiding unnecessary waste.
The box can be filled in the ordinary way by removing the cover. If other than
cylindrical boxes are employed the same result may be obtained by raising the cover
instead of rotating the same as with the cylindrical boxes aforesaid.
And in order that my invention may be the better understood I will proceed to
explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1
shews elevation of a cylindrical box constructed according to my invention with the.
cover in position so as to close the outlet holes. Fig. 2 shews elevation of same box
with cover rotated so as to open the holes and thus enable the contents to be shaken

Lincolnshire "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
-
My invention relates to an improvement in the class of centrifugal pumps, in which
the suction is admitted on one side only through a bend, so arranged, as to bring the
suction pipe at right angles to the pump spindle, and has for its object, to permit of
the suction pipe swivelling to any angle, without removing any nuts, or breaking any
Joints in the suction pipes In carrying out my invention I cast the suction bend in
a piece with the pump cover, the said cover being turned on the edge, and on both
sides near the edge It fits with a recess in the pump case, which is bored out and
faced true to receive it The depth of the afores ud recess is barely the same as the
thickness of the pump cover The cover is kept in its stationary position by means
of a loose ring pressing on its edge and screwed up by studs and nuts or bolts and
nuts where the bolts can be used The Joint is made by tallow, stockholme tar or
Similar material with or without a thickness of canvas or paper, woven asbestos or
other material As the joint is in the case ind not in the suction, its being absolutely
air tight is not essential At the same time a thick made yielding joint material must
not be used, lest it should give more on one side than the other and thus throw the
two stuffing boxes out of line
I am aware that the suction pipes have been swivelled by taking off the cover or
side bend and moving it round one or more holes by moving the whole pump case
together with the delivery branch, has been made before, and is therefore not new

page_text: I, FRANCIS EDWARD MAC MAHON, of No. 2 Princes Mansions, Victoria Street,
Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, 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 :-
This Invention relates to apparatus for recording the supply of all kinds of articles
that are sold in bottles or packages of uniform size and is specially applicable for the
prevention of fraud on the part of servants engaged at the counter of a shop or
public-house.
As an example of the manner in which the invention may be put into practice I
hereto annex a sheet of Drawings illustrating an apparatus for recording the supply
of bottled liquors.
Figure 1 represents a front elevation of an apparatus for supplying Soda-water
bottles, and consists of a rack A, the top of which has a longitudinal slit formed therein
wide enough to receive the neck of the bottle. At the end of the slit a portion of the
cover of the rack is cut away, so as to allow room for the passage of the body of the
bottle. The size of the passage is diminished by means of a spring or trigger B which
is formed of conducting material and connected with one of the wires C of an electric
battery. D is a contact maker connected with the other pole of the battery and in
order to supply a bottle, the attendant in pulling it out of the rack must necessarily
make contact between the two conductors B and D, and so set in action an electric
printing or recording instrument such as a Morse which will mark a strip of paper
and so make the manager or other party interested acquainted with the rate of sale
although he may be located far away from the counter.
It will be observed that the essential feature of my Invention consists in the use
of a rack to contain a number of articles of any description whatever provided they
are of uniform size and so contracting the "supply" or orifice that no article can be
withdrawn without making electrical contact. To prevent the apparatus being
tampered with by the introduction of insulating material between the conductors, the
latter may be enclosed in a sealed box the trigger B being on the outside and operating
the interior mechanism by means of a sliding rod.

page_text: Figure 2 of the drawings is a repetition of Figure 1 shewing a bottle about to bo
withdrawn and Figure 3 is a section of the apparatus.
Owing to the wide range of application it is obvious that the details of the apparatus
are susceptible of considerable modification.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven- 5
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
1 claim, is:
In apparatus for storing articles of commerce in which the "supply" or orifice is
of such size that in order to withdraw one of the articles a contact maker or trigger
such as B will be disturbed to such an extent as to complete an electrical circuit.

through these holes to the flame, it will put the lamp out, for want of air, these holes
can be regulated, so that only just sufficient air can get to the flame of the Lamp to
support combustion.
The letter D in Fig. 1. is where the the ventilating tube "C" screws in the top collar
of the lamp, but a rivet or rivets may be used.
The letter "E" in Fig. 1. is a screw lock, to fasten the lamp bonnet, to the top
collar of the lamp, but a rivet lock may be used instead.
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
(1) Improved burners consisting of two tubes or burners fastened together, so that
one tube or burner which contain each a wick can burn while the other tube or burner
is being snuffed by drawing the other wick down that needs snuffing by one pricker.
(2) Improved prickers I have two prickers in the lamp a pricker for each burner.
(3) Improved method of supplying the air, to feed the flame of the lamp.
(4) Improved method of locking the lamp bonnet.

the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The Improved Gully Trap is made with a top inlet at the back for receiving
Sink, Bath, Lavatory, and Rain Water Pipes, the waste water discharges imme-
diately over the top of water in Trap, thus allowing a free circulation of air to
play upon the top of water, and to pass up the several pipes.
The inlet part of trap rises three inches above the top of grating, so that the con-
nection may be made above ground.
The advantages are to obviate the usal splashings over the top of grating, by
the waste water being discharged directly into the inside of Gully Trap.
The trap has a water seal of two and a quarter inches.

page_text: I VICTOR DÉSIRÉ ALEXIS LEMAIRE of Villa Pauline, Gendbrugge-les-Gand, in
the Kingdom of Belgium, Gentleman 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 reference to improvements in hinges designed to ensure correct
operation of the parts connected.
These hinges amongst other uses are particularly well adapted for connecting the
leaves of screens but these uses are numerous.
The improved hinges are characterised by their parts connected to the moving
connected objects being formed as or with toothed segments of circles the teeth of
each segment engaging those of the other so that folding motion given to the one
leaf causes the toothed segment of the one part to roll around the toothed segment of
the other part, the two parts of segmental form being retained in relative proximity
by a plate or plates connecting them by means of pins, rivets or connections centrically
of the segments. The centres may be solid or hollow and conveniently for strength
and lightness hollow and swaged out at their extremities eyelet fashion, or they may
also be screwed into the holding plates.
By these improved hinges being employed facility is afforded for folding flat
against each other swing doors, leaves of screens, casements, sashes, flaps, lids, covers,
gates, frames and other parts of articles requiring to be connected with capability of
folding and especially where the folding or swinging is desired in both directions
..

page_text: Figure 2 is an edge view and
Figure 3 a section of the preceding figures.
Figure 5 shews the same in a folded position with the parts A A² alongside one the
other, as in the case of a screen doubled up.
In cases where it is not convenient to apply the plates to the articles to be connected
flat wise as in Figures 1 to 3 and in Figure 5 the form of connection may be as in
Figure 4, or in analogous fashion.
In moving the connected parts or leaves the one toothed part rolls on the other
toothed part peripherically and the link D travels with the moving centres.
The rigidity of the connection of the parts A A¹ and the toothed segmental wheels
is further secured by screws or central pins, passed through the holes i in the hollow
rivets CC, as at E (Figures 1 and 5).
The wheels B B', may be correspondingly indented or correspondingly formed to
cöoperate otherwise than as teeth in the particular manner shown so long as their
cooperation in the manner set forth be secured.
The parts A and B, and A¹ and B' of each leaf respectively may be by rivets k or
otherwise connected together.
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 combination or arrangement and use of parts of hinges in manner and for the
purposes substantially as hereinbefore set forth and illustrated in the drawings
accompanying.

page_text: 1, QUIRIN HAANEN, medical doctor, of 1ª Grosse Sandkaul, Cologne on the Rhine,
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:-
The object of my invention is to provide a belt which shall automatically support
the belly irrespective of the continual displacement of the latter with relation to
the belt.
Fig. 1, is a front view of my improved belt.
"3
"
2, is a top view of fig. 1.
3, is a cross section of fig. 1, on the line 1, 1 through the middle guide f* closed
at the top.
Fig. 4, shows, on a larger scale, a front elevation, a side elevation and top view,
respectively of one of the guides f, open at the top.
Fig. 5, shows a guide which is similar to that shown in fig. 4, except that it is
closed at the top and Fig. 6, shows, on a larger scale a front elevation, a side elevation
and top view of the guide fx of fig. 1, and 3.
The improved belt is composed mainly of two girts a and b, of which the girt bis
throughout elastic, whilst the girt a is connected to. a non elastic portion d. Both
girts a and bare fastened separately, by means of buckles, hooks and eyes or other
attaching devices. To the non-elastic portion d of the lower girt a are fastened, by
means of rivets or otherwise, several flat springs c in such a manner that they can
pivot on their fastenings e. The end of each spring e engages a guide f, fastened to
the top belt a by a rivet or otherwise.
The guide may be open, as shown in fig. 4, for allowing the spring c to pass
through it; or the guide may be closed, as shown at fx in fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6, for the
purpose of limiting the sliding motion of the springs c.
When wearing the belt, the non-elastic portion d of the lower girt a should be
placed at the lowermost part of the abdomen, whilst the upper girt b should about
reach the navel.

page_text: The belt is particularly applicable to very bulky bellies; the lowergirt a remains
stationary, whilst the upper girt moves towards and from the latter, the springs c
sliding at the same time within their guides.
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
1 claim is:
An automatic abdominal belt composed of an elastic girt b, and a partly elastic
girt a having a non elastic portion d, both girts being connected by springs e pivotally
fastened to the non-elastic portion d of the girt a and capable of sliding within
guides for fx, substantially as described with reference to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6, of
the drawing and for the purpose set forth.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object an improved & most convenient method of
suspending & attaching sanitary towels or pads to an improved and adjustable waist
band or belt.
A pad of suitable material is attached to a band or strip of muslin or other suitable
material, the ends of which are doubled & stamped or cut with several button holes
to regulate the length of the towel.
The ends of the towel are buttoned to the two tabs which slide upon the waist band
or belt, & by which means it is self adjusting.

page_text: I, JOHN DAVIES MUCKLOW of 260 Camden Road N.W. & formerly of No. 1 Newton
Villas Finsbury Park London N. in the County of Middlesex, Chemist, 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 pad or towel marked A, is prepared of an absorbent material enclosed in muslin
or other suitable material affixed to a strip of the same or other suitable material
about twenty inches long & from two to three inches wide with ends marked B pro-
jecting beyond the pad either single or double, or the material enclosing the absorbent
pad may be continued to form the ends in one piece; the ends are then stitched two
three or four times across, as at C according to the number of button holes required
leaving a space of about one inch between each stitching, the button holes are cut on the
lower side of each stitching, which prevents them from tearing, thus affording an
easy means of regulating the length of the towel or pad, & attaching it to the belt
or band.
The belt or band marked D is formed of any suitable material with a button on one
end & several button holes on the other end to regulate its length, and upon this belt
or band are two small pieces or tabs of a similar, or an elastic material with a button
on the lower end and a loop on the other end marked E, through which loop the belt
or band passes, and thus these tabs can be easily moved along the belt or band to
any required 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
1st. The method of attaching the pad or towel to the sliding tab on the belt or
band by means of buttons & button holes.
2ndly. I claim the sliding tabs upon the belt or band.
3rdly. I claim the use of an elastic material for the tabs.
