Improvements in the Manufacture of Explosives.
I, FRANZ VOLPERT, Doctor, of Dortmund in the Empire of Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The testing of explosives for their safety in rough weather and against coal
dust also places increased requirements on safety explosives hitherto used.
According to this invention increased. safety is secured by the use in the
manufacture of the explosive of the sulphur salt compounds, pyrosulphur, poly-
sulphur, polythion and analogous acids of silicium phosphor, selenium, tellurium
and antimony, including the meta-acids, also by the Borium Molybdenum, Wol-
fram and Tin salts. As types of such acids may be mentioned among others,
Potassium sulphate K₂SO,, Potassium pyrosulphite K₂S₂O, Potassium pyro-
sulphate K2S2O7, Sodium thiosulphate Na2S2O3, Barium trithionate BaSO., Sodium
borate Na,BO, Potassium bimolybdate K,Mo₂O7, Sodium meta wolframate Na₂W₁013
Sodium stannate Na₂Sn03.
Such salts contribute greatly to prevent combinations in
the explosion gases
necessary for further combustion. They also tend to reduce the temperature and
damp the flame.
The simultaneous use of the cyanogen compounds is also to be recommended
such as Potassium ferro-cyanide and Potassium ferro-cyanate.
The salts are also exclusively free of water and are mixed in the proper technical
manner with the explosive dealt with the following being examples.
Ammonium Nitrate
Napthalline
-
Potassium pyrosulphate
82.5

7.5
Nitroglycerine
Charcoal
Ammonia saltpetre

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. The use of sulphur pyrosulphur, polysulphur and polythion acid salts-as well
as analogous acids of silicium phosphor Selenium Tellurium and Antimony including
Meta-acids, also the salts of Barium, Wolfram, Molybdenum and Tin acids in
explosives.
2. The improvements in the manufacture of explosives substantially as described.

"An Improvement in Sheet Holders for Duplicators."
We, JAMES ELLAM and FREDERICK ELLAM, of 12 King Street Cheapside
London EC. Copying apparatus Makers, 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 duplicator holders employed for holding the stencil
sheet and the paper sheet while the latter receives the ink passed through the
pervious portions of the stencil.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a plan of a holder according to this
invention, Fig. 2 is a side view shewing the frame down, and Fig. 3 is a side view
shewing the frame held up.
The frame A is hinged as usual to one end of the base B but the hinges con-
sist of a pair of sockets C into which the sides of the frame are inserted and in
which they can be fixed by screws or otherwise.
The frame however can at any time be removed from the sockets so that another
frame can be substituted. Each of the sockets C has a bent arm D which is
attached by a chain to the one end of a spring E the other end of which is
attached to a hook on the base B. On each side of the base B is fixed a stop
pin F, which is preferably covered with caoutchouc or other elastic material to
deaden shock.
Instead of so covering the pins F, the arm D at the parts where they meet the
pins may be so covered.
The springs E are of such strength that when the frame A is down, as shewn
in Fig. 2, it has to be held down, and when it is released from the hand of the
operator it springs upwards to a position such as indicated by the dotted line G,
beyond which momentum carries it until it is stopped in the position shewn in
Fig. 3 by the arms 1) encountering the stop pins F, the chains permitting this
movement.
Obviously, for chains might be substituted links having holes to receive studs
projecting from the arms D, these holes being slottod so as to allow the arms to
move beyond the point to which they are moved by the springs.
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:
A sheet holder for duplicator constructed and operating substantially as de-
scribed with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Flower Pot.
I JAMES ROBERT CRAWFORD, of No. 23 Old Dover Road, Canterbury, in the
County of Kent, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 effect an improvement in the construction of
flower pots for the purpose of facilitating bedding, grafting, and other operations
in connection with plants and flowers; my invention being specially applicable
to the cultivation of the coffee plant.
According to my invention I form the flower pot in two or more parts (prefer-
ably two) which are capable of being readily united or separated so as to leave the
ball of earth intact and the roots undisturbed for transplanting. The pot may be
made of clay, either alone or mixed with other materials; or of wood, or any other
suitable material.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, illustrating one
method of carrying out my invention, and in which similar figures of reference
indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a flower pot formed in two parts.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation, the parts being shown separated.
Fig. 3 is a top view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a section on the line a b, showing the parts together.
Fig. 5 is a section on the line c d, showing the parts separated.
6 is the body of the pot, divided vertically as shown. 7, 7, are tongues fitting into
the rebates 8, 8; the tongues and rebates being reversed at and below the
section c, d, so as to provide shoulders whereby the relative positions of the two
sides are secured. The two sides may be held together by wire, string, or elastic
bands passed round the pot and resting on the shoulders 9, 9, provided for that
purpose. When using clastic bands for this purpose the sides of the pot are
capable of slightly separating, thus allowing for the expansion of the roots. 10, 10,
are holes for receiving pegs or pins, whereby the two sides may be firmly united.
I sometimes form the pot. without a bottom, and the form of the pot and the
arrangement of the tongues and rebates may be very much varied.
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 improved flower pot substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In a flower pot for the purposes aforesaid, the application and use of tongues
and rebates for retaining the relative positions of the parts when united, and means

page_text: for fixing the same in position by pegs, pins, wire, string, or elastic bands, sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.

page_text: I, FRANK RUSSELL HUDSON, of Blackdown Manor, Leamington Spa, in the
County of Warwick, Solicitor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to watch-guards made of leather or similar substance or
textile material. Its object is to dispense with stitching or buckles or bars which
are expensive if the workmanship is good.
I take a strip of leather or other material and at one end I secure a stud fastener.
Not far from this I insert a capped eyelet. The stud fastener and capped eyelet
may be similar to those used for gloves. The end of the strip is passed from
beneath through the hole in the waistcoat or other garment and the stud fastener
is pressed into the capped eyelet; a very neat and secure loop being thus formed.
The other end of the strip of leather may be provided with a stud fastener and
capped eyelet to form a loop for connecting the watch-guard to the bow of the
watch.
I may dispense with the capped eyelet and use a stud engaging with a hole in
the leather or other strip.

I, GUSTAV STAAT, Watchmaker, of Mittelstrasse 3, Düsseldorf, in the German
Empire, 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 for its object, to construct watch cases in such a manner, that
they may be conveniently made of celluloid, vulcanite and other materials weaker
than metal, while being perfectly dust-proof.
For this purpose I compose the watch case of two parts fitted together with a
sliding joint like the parts of a box, the principal part containing the mechanism of
the watch, while the other serves as a lid and is adapted to slide into or over the
first.
The parts containing the works of the watch may be stiffened by being surrounded
with a ring or hoop which also serves as an ornament.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a face view of a watch and watch-case
embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the same; and Fig. 3 an axial section of the watch
case,
after removal of the lid.
A represents the principal part of the watch case, B the lid and the stiffening
ring, to which is attached the watch pendant or stein.
If the part A be of opaque material, it is provided with a watch glass, as shown;
if the material of the part A be transparent, it may also cover the face of the watch
and take the place of the watch glass. The lid B has a recess or recesses b, to admit
the pin for winding and setting the watch, or to afford more space for some of the
wheels.
A hinge joint, which would not be durable if made of a weaker material than
metal, is thus avoided, and a dust-proof joint is obtained, which renders the watch
easily accessible.
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. A watch case composed of two parts fitted together with a sliding joint like the
parts of a box, one part containing the mechanism of the watch and the other serving
as a lid, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A watch case composed of celluloid, vulcanite, or similar material, and composed
of two parts adapted to fit one over the other, the principal part being stiffened with
a ring r, substantially as described.

Improved Straight Steering Arrangement for Bicycles and Tricycles..
JOHN CASSELS, of 76 Hall Street Stockport in the County of Cheshire,.
Draughtsman, 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 improved steering arrangement for bicycles and
tricycles, and has for its object the construction of a simple steerer, which does not
consist of any complicated mechanism, and is extremely sensitive in its action upon
the steering wheel of the bicycle or tricycle to which it is applied.
In order that my invention may be clearly rendered reference may be had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is an external side elevation.
view, Fig. 2 is an external plan view and, Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the
cylinder.
Similar letters of reference are used to indicate like parts in all views.
In constructing a steerer according to my invention, I employ a lever A
Figs. 1 and 2 which is connected at one end to the stork of steering handle, or to
the head of steering fork, B, B, Figs. 1 & 2, of a bicycle or tricycle, the other end
of lever A is connected to a piston rod, C, Figs. 1, 2, & 3, by joint and pin D on
the other end of rod, C. is a piston, E, Fig. 3, which is free to move in cylinder, F,
at front end of cylinder F is fitted a cover, G, through which rod, C, passes, the
back end of cylinder F, is arranged to swivel on a pin, H, which is connected to
clip, I, which is secured to frame of machine, J, inside cylinder, F, a spring K,
Fig. 3, is fitted between piston E and cover, G.
The action is as follows, when the steering handle of a bicycle or tricycle is
turned to the right or to the left by the rider for steering, the lever pulls the piston
rod and piston which compresses the spring against the cover of cylinder, thus when
the handle is released, the compression of the spring acting through the piston rod
and lever, consequently bringing the steering wheel in a central or straight position
again.
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 steering or controlling arrangement for bicycles or tricycles, the combination
of parts whereby I get a pulling action-through a central line of machine, which
acting on the steering wheel keeps it in line with the fixed wheel or wheels,
substantially as herein described and shewn with reference to the appended sheet
of drawings.

Improvements in Heating or Cooling Apparatus.
1, WILLIAM TATTERSALL, Engineer, of 63 Fore Street, in the City of London,
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 for its object to make an element or duct section of heating
apparatus of such a form that, when a number of these elements are grouped together,
they present a largo surface of metal for the transfer of heat from water, air or
other fluid passing through the ducts to air or other fluid passing over or between
them, or conversely. For this purpose I make the ducts or elements of forms such
as are shown in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front viow Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 is a plan of an element
the plane of which is oblique to the line of their connections which are made in
the usual way by nipples screwed into bosses provided at their upper and lower
ends.
Fig. 4 is a front view and Fig. 5 is a sectional plan of an element made with a
double obliquity, a number of which may be connected parallel as shewn in
Fig. 5 or facing each other as shewn in Fig. 6, thus forming a passage between
them.
It will be seen that by making elements as above described obliquo to the line
of their connections they present in a given width a larger radiating surface thau
if they stood at right angles to the line, and they also, by giving certain
deflections to air or other fluid passing between them, ensure more complete
transfer of heat.
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 :-
An element of heating or cooling apparatus having its surface inclined at an
angle to the line of the connection of a row of such elements, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Packing for Piston Rods.
I, THOMAS DICK BRADY, of Haffey, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States
of America, 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 :—
My invention relates to packing for piston rods such as I shall describe referring
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. I is a section of the packing shewing the rod in elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan
of one of the packing rings. Fig. 3 is a plan of the seating ring. Fig. 4 is a part
plan of the stuffing box cover, and Fig. 5 is a part cross section of the same.
2 is part of the end of a cylinder, 3 the piston rod. 4 is a ring forming the shell
of the stuffing box. 5 is the cover of the stuffing box with hole 6 for passage of the
rod having around the rod an inwardly projecting conical boss' 7.
by bolts 8.
The cover 5 is held
9-9 are thin split conical rings preferably with their ends overlapping stamped out
or otherwise made of brass or like metal.
10 is a seating ring having its inner periphery bevelled at 10° to correspond with
the obliquity of the rings 9. 11 is a packing ring of rubber or like material, which
may be arranged to catch any leakage passing the split rings but which in many cases
in unnecessary.
The edges of the rings next the rod may be bevelled to fit against the rod, but if
left square they soon wear to this angle.
This ring packing is found in practice both durable and efficient, and as the rings
are split, they readily accommodate themselves to the movements of the rod, while
the overlapping of their ends always ensures a complete circle of packing around the rod.
As fluid under pressure leaks past the rod into the space outside the rings 9, it
presses them against the rod, preventing leakage past the inner edges of the rings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :—
1. Packing for a piston rod consisting of a number of conical split rings bearing
obliquely against the rod, substantially as described.
2. The combination of a ring forming the shell of a stuffing box a cover with
coned internal boss, a number of spring packing rings bearing obliquely against the
rod and an internally coned ring, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Hair-Holders for Use in Dressing
the Hair.
VALENTIN WEX, of 2 Karlsplatz, Munich in the Empire of Germany Hair-dresser,
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 holding together the hair without necessi-
tating any tying of knots in the holder and so that it enables the hair to be loosened
when desired without causing it to "come down" altogether.
The device is constituted by a piece of wire made of lead or any other material
and of any desired cross section, this wire previously protected with a layer of varnish
if desired, being wound round with silk, cotton or any other desired yarn or covered
with leather or rubber.
The device can be made of any length and thickness and several forms of construc-
tion thereof are illustrated by way of example in Figs. 1 to 6 of the accompanying
drawing, Figs. 1 to 4 being elevations of four different shapes and Figs. 5 to 6 cross
sections which may be given to any of those forms.
a is the wire of any suitable material, of round cross section in Fig. 5 and of
rectangular cross-section in Fig. 6; b is the surrounding substance or the thread
spun round said wire.
The device according to the present invention has the great advantage that it is
simply wound round the hair to be held together and need not be bound or tied in a
knot and in spite of this it holds the hair securely enough to enable any kind of hair
dressing to be properly carried on with its aid.
When using this device the hair held by it can be loosened as desired and in spite
of this is held so well that it does not come down.
If the hair is made into a knot and loosened, it is possible to uniformly wave it and
according as the hair growth is weak or strong, a short and thin or a long and thick
wire may be used.
As owing to the soft interior part the device is very yielding, it does not injure the
hair and it enables the hair to be strongly and durably curled as with curling tongs,
which it can replace.
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 :-
1. A hair holding device consisting of a wire varnished if desired made of some
yielding material for instance lead and of any desired cross section wound round with
silk cotton or other yarn or covered with leather, rubber or other substance, for the
purpose of holding the hair during dressing, in such manner that it can be loosened
as desired.

page_text: 2. The hair-holding device substantially as described and illustrated in Figure 1 or
Figure 2 or Figure 3 or Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings.

player however must have more than 4, and each player must have a stick.
The game is commenced by one of the players spinning the ring, as near the
centre of the table as possible, and calling the name of one of the other players,
who must attempt to catch the ring on his stick, before it ceases to spin, if he is
successful he receives a counter from the spinner, but if he fails he has to pay one
to the spinner. Whether the player catches the ring or fails, he must next spin
the ring & call another player. In this way the game is continued. When a

players have retired, the game concludes, the winner being the player who has most
counters.
Should a player be unable to spin the ring properly, one of the other players
may spin, but he must call.
The same player must not be called more than twice in succession.
If the game is played on a table covered with a cloth, the ring will be found to
spin better if a piece of paper about 18 inches square is laid in the centre of the
table, and the ring spun on it.
These are the rules that preferably will be followed, but other variations or
methods of play may be adopted.
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
1. A game in which a ring in the act of rotating is caught or picked up with a
stick, with a crook or hook at the end, or otherwise.
2. The abovementioned combination of articles used in the before described
manner for the purposes of a new game.

Improvements in Door Hinges.
I, HERMANN ILMER of 32, Oranienburgerstrasse, Berlin, Germany, 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 door hinges and the purposes, firstly to insure a
continuous oiling of the hinge and secondly, to permit the lifting of the door, in
case of the latter having settled through wear and tear of the hinge.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical and longitudinal section through the hinge.
Fig. 2 shows the hinge taken apart.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of the hinge.
The hinge consists as usually of the upper part A, the lower part B and the
pin C, connecting both parts.
According to the present invention, the pin C has an upper pin d entering the
socket a of the upper part A and a lower pinion e entering the socket al of the
lower part. B. Between the pinons d and e an oilcup c is arranged, upon
the bottom of which rests the lower end of the socket a.
The oilcup c engages
the siit k of the upper part A, whilst a nose g engages the slit h in the lower
part B, for the purpose of preventing a rotary motion of the pin C.
The cup e contains lubricating liquid and is covered with the cover b, preventing
the dust from entering the cup. Through slit in the socket a the oil has free
access to the end of the socket a. The set screw f screwing into the lower base of
socket a¹ has the hole 1 for admitting a tool for the purpose of screwing up on it.
The latter process has the effect of lifting pinion e and with it the upper part of
the hinge A.
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 door hinge the combination of the upper part A, the lower part B, the
pin C and the oilcup cas and the purpose set forth.
2. In a door hinge the combination of the upper part A, the lower part B, the
pin C and the set screw fas and for the purpose specified.

the County of Yorkshire, Electrician, 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 that class of inductive devices which
consist of an iron magnetic circuit, over or round which are wound the inductive
windings.
In carrying my invention into effect, I make the magnetic circuit of such
a form as to have four straight parts or sides, and the inductive windings are
wound on all four of said straight parts or sides.
The annexed, drawing shows one form embodying the invention, i being the
magnetic circuit in the form of a rectangle (preferably a square), composed of iron
stampings in the usual manner, and w² ² 3 being the inductive windings, w being
shown in cross section; in this case, the windings w and may be used as the
primary of a transformer, o¹ and w³ being the secondary. To hold the stampings
firmly together, they may be clamped at the corners by any suitable clamps, which
may have prolongations to serve as supports to the whole, which may be enclosed
within a metal case as a protection from external injury.

page_text: I, DR. WILHELM MAJERT of Grunau near Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
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 processes heretofore known for the production of ammonium bichromate
are based either upon neutralization of chromic acid with ammonia or upon an
exchange re-action or double decomposition between potassium bichromate and
sulphate of ammonia. In the latter case however the ammonium bichromate cannot
be obtained free from sulphate of potash.
The applicant has discovered that chemically pure ammonium bichromate can
be readily obtained by causing either sodium bichromate or calcium bichromate
to enter into mutual reaction with sulphate of ammonium in molecular proportion.
The process is carried into effect as follows:
1. Sal ammoniac or Ammonium chloride and sodium bichromate or calcium
bichromate are dissolved in molecular proportions in 3 parts of hot water. On
cooling ammonium bichromate crystallizes out, and after separation by centrifugal
action, can be obtained pure by once re-crystallizing from water.
2. Calcium bichromate is dissolved in 5 parts of water. The hot liquid has
then admixed to it a solution of sulphate of ammonia in 5 parts of hot water the
salts being in molcular proportion. The mixture is boiled sharply until the
gypsum or calcium sulphate has assumed a crystalline form. The lye or liquor
is then filtered off. On evaporating the lye by heat ammonium bichromate
crystallizes out. Instead of allowing the ammonium bichromate to crystallize out,
and if it is not of importance to obtain a chemically pure product it may be
obtained by evaporating to dryness the solution filtered off from the gypsum or
calcium sulphate.
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 process for the production of ammonium bichromate consisting in causing
sodium bichromate, or calcium bichromate to enter into mutual reaction with sal
ammoniac or chloride of ammonium in molecular proportion, or causing calcium
bichromate to enter into mutual reaction with sulphate of ammonia, in molecular
proportion and allowing the ammonium bichromate to crystallize out, or
evaporating the solution of the same.

herein before described.

Improvements in Kinematographs and like Apparatus.
I, FELIX BERNSTEIN 15 Aldermanbury London E.C. Importer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in or relating to [apparatus for ex-
hibiting consecutive pictures or views and consists essentially in the particular
form of shutters employed in combination with the operative mechanism.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will now refer to the
annexed drawings in which:
Figure 1. is a rear elevation of my invention.
Figure 2. side elevation partly in section.
Figure 3. perspective view of my improved shutter to enlarged scale.
a is the shutter which is rectangular as shown and is rotated by means of the
gear wheels b, c, d &c., f being a handle or crank for rotating the same. The
drum g having the points or spurs h is caused to rotate at intervals through the
medium of the disc i having the curved guides or projections j and pins k said
pins & engaging in the slots in the plate m secured to the drum g. The strip
or film n carrying the consecutive pictures or views passes over the drum and
the points or spurs engage in perforations or apertures in the edges of the
strip n which is thus caused to travel past the opening, p being the usual lens
for projecting the picture or view upon the screen or the like. The filmn or
strip passes between the spring plate and plater for the purpose of regulating
the tension of the strip or film n which enters the apparatus ats and leaves
same at t. The pulley wheel u may be employed for rotating the apparatus
when required instead of the handle f. The relative movements of the drum g
and shutter a are so arranged & timed that the picture is stationary' during its
projection upon the screen when the shutter is in its open position and during the
closed position of the shutter the film or strip is moved by the drum into its
next position.
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. The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts as dles-
cribed and illustrated herein.
2. In apparatus for exhibiting consecutive pictures or views, a rectangular or
box shaped shutter open at two of its ends or sides which is rotated between the
lens and the film or strip carrying the views or pictures.
