COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Hot Water or Steam Heating Apparatus
or Radiators.
I, GEORGE LLOYD BERRY, of 16 Regency 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:—
My invention relates to so called radiators or hot water or steam heating apparatus
in which the tubes through which the hot water or steam flows are provided with
projecting ribs or gills, affording a large amount of surface for the radiation of
heat.
The tubes of such radiators as heretofore constructed have been made with.
the radiating ribs or gills all round them, thus presenting a more or less unsightly
appearance at the front of the radiator, and also considerably increasing the cost
of making the tubes.
According to my present invention I obviate these disadvantages by constructing
the tubes with the radiating ribs or gills only at the back so that the front part
can be made with ornament flutings or designs. This construction is shewn on the
accompanying drawing which shews a part horizontal section through a radiator
in which the water tubes A, which may either be of the rectangular section shewn, or
of any other desired section, are provided with radiating ribs or gills B only at the
back, the front part being formed with ornamental flutings C. It will be seen that
with this construction the moulding of the tubes is much easier than in the case
where there are radiating ribs all round, and consequently their manufacture is
cheapened. It will also be seen that by arranging the gills parallel to each other
and close together, instead of radially as heretofore, the same or even a greater
amount of heating surface is obtained in a much smaller space.
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 :-
Constructing the water tubes of radiators with heat radiating ribs or gills only
at the back part thereof, substantially as and for the purposes described.

Improvements in Cord Holders for Window Blinds and other
purposes.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM HITCHIN, of 124 Bevington Road, Aston, Birmingham
in the County of Warwick, Clerk 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:
My invention has for its object improvements in cord holders for window blinds
and other purposes by which I can manufacture such articles more cheaply and in
such a manner that they can be fixed much more readily and quicker than
hithertofore and in many cases without the aid of any tool for the purpose.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements together with the mode of
carrying the same into effect.
Figure 1, is a side sectional view of one of my cord holders.
Figure 2, is a back view of same.
Figure 3, shows a modification in the mode of attaching the screw to the
holder.
Figure 4, shows a further modification in which the screw forms a part of the
holder.
Figure 5, is a view of the holder when fixed in position.
Cord holders of this class, have previously been provided with a back plate
having two or more holes for the purpose of attaching the holder to the wood-work
by means of two wood-screws. Now, in carrying my invention into effect, I
provide or form a single steel screw A which is attached to the back or bottom of
the stem B by providing the screw with a dovetail or other suitably shaped head a¹
so that the brass or other metal of which the holder is formed may be cast around
the same as shown by Figure 1 or I may utilize an ordinary wood screw such as
shown at Figure 3 and stamp the flanges over the head of same or I may cast
the screw in one with the holder either casting on the thread at the same time or
cutting it afterwards. The stem B and bell cap E may be varied in shape and
inclination without departing from the nature of my said invention.
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 cord holders for window blinds and other purposes the screw A substantially
as and for the purpose herein set forth and illustrated upon the accompanying sheet
of drawings.

Improvements in Apparatus for Gassing Yarn and other Threads.
I, SAMUEL CLOUGH of the Firm of John Clough and Sons, Steeton near
Keighley, in the County of York, 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:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in machinery for gassing yarn,
threads, and the like, and has for its object, the arrangement of the burners used
therein, in such a manner that, a considerable saving in gas is effected, consequently
the room is kept cooler; and to reduce the liability of the dust flying from the
yarn, interfering with the burner and choking same, as is frequently the case with
burners now in use, and to keep the yarn cleaner, by so arranging my improved
burner that it has a tendency to blow the dust away from, rather than on to the
yarn.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will describe the same in
detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
i
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation through such portions of a machine for
gassing yarn or other threads, as is necessary to illustrate my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail of the gassing portion, and
Fig. 3 a sectional view of my improved burner.
The machine is of the ordinary construction, driven in the ordinary manner, and
no claim is made to same as forming part of this invention.
My improved gas burner is indicated by the letter A. and is provided with one
or more small apertures C. in the side thereof, through which the gas mixed with
air in the usual manner is blown, and there ignited. By forming the openings in
the manner described the flame F. is emitted in or near a horizontal direction, and
the yarn Y. is passed through the middle of the flame thereby getting the full
benefit thereof, with equally or better results than when a burner of the ordinary
description, consuming a much larger quantity of gas is used.
By the yarn Y. passing through the length of the flame F. fewer gas jets are
required, and by the force of the gas flame being in the same line as the thread of
yarn, when passing through the flame, any singeing dust from the yarn or other
threads is blown away and cannot fall on to the burner, as is the case when
constructed and fixed in the manner as hitherto, and by blowing the dust away in
the direction of the flame, the dust cannot settle on and be blown into the body of
the thread.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
A gas burner having one or more apertures C. at the side, for the purpose of
emitting a flame in or near a horizontal direction, combined with a thread Y.
conducted over rotating guide pullies P. P. all arranged substantially in the
manner as shown and described.

I, MARY CHALCROFT of Ivy House Lane, Ore, near Hastings, 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 an improved garter for stockings, and is intended
to provide a simple arrangement which will always be in proper position ready
for use.
The garter is stitched to the upper part of the stocking, and cousists of a
band of elastic or other suitable material. The band is stitched to the stocking
at a short distance from one end leaving the two ends free. In the extremity
of each of these a hole is formed, and a button is fixed on the part stitched
to the stocking. The method of using the garter is as follows. The longer
portion of the band is passed round the leg through the hole in the other end and
pulled back to be attached to the button above mentioned. The garter can be
twisted before buttoning if required to be shortened. The band may be made of
the same material as the stocking, and will not interfere in any way with the
washing of the stocking.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had
to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view of the garter
extended, and Figs. 2 and 3 show it applied.
The band is stitched to the stocking A at the part B a short distance from one
end, leaving the ends B1 and B2 free. These ends are furnished with the holes or
slits 6 and 6', the former serving as a button hole, and the latter to receive the-
band. A button C is stitched on the part B of the band. As shown in Figs. 2
and 3, the end B' is passed round the leg, through the hole b¹, and then pulled back
and fastened to the button C, being twisted on its way if required to be
tightened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is.
An improved garter consisting of a band stitched to the stocking, with free
ends, having a hole or slit at each end and a button at the middle, fastened
substantially in the manner described and shown and for the purposes specified.

I, CHARLES CUTHBERT BRYDON, of 17 Withy Grove, Manchester, Clerk, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
My invention relates to improvements in rulers.
In using rulers of flat, oval, round or other section, it is often difficult to avoid
inking the ruler and consequently blotting the paper upon which lines are being
drawn.
To obviate this defect I construct rulers according to my invention of flat,
section with a centrally projecting rim along one edge thereof, against which the
pen is placed when ruling lines.
Thus the edge along which the pen travels does not come in contact with the
surface on which the lines are drawn. The ink, although it may cover the underside
of the projecting part of the ruler, cannot reach the paper, as before it is possible
to do this, it would have to turn the angle formed by the projecting part and the
body of the ruler.
The opposite edge which can be bevelled may be used to draw lines in pencil.

statement:-
The object of my invention is to construct a flat ruler which may be used with
an ordinary pen, without liability of the ink running from the edge on to the paper
which nearly always happens when an ordinary pen is used with the usual kind
of flat ruler. I overcome the defect by constructing a ruler with a projecting web
or the like attached to or forming part of one edge of the ruler, and extending
along its whole length. The opposite edge of the ruler may be bevelled off in the
usual manner.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 shews a side view of one of my rulers,
and Fig. 2 a cross section of it in use, with an ordinary pen and pencil.
a is the ruler, 6 the central web or the like on the one edge as above described,

An Improved Fly-wheel Governor.
JOHN HUGHES of 47, Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of London,
Engineer, and CLAUDE WILLIAM HILL, of Eversleigh, Claremont Road,
Highgate, in the County of London, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to an improved form of governor of the type usually
known as flywheel governors, that is, governors mounted on the crankshaft or
flywheel, acting directly on the eccentric and controlling the speed of the engine
by varying the cut off of the slide valve according to the load.
Its object is to construct a governor of this type of much simpler design than has
hitherto been made.
In constructing our improved form of governor we mount a pair of weights with
springs in the usual manner upon a disc or flywheel. We connect these weights
together by a strong link so as to ensure that their movements shall be equal. The
position of this link in reference to the weights is such that its line of motion when
the weights fly in or out corresponds with the required line of motion of the
eccentric. The eccentric sheave inay then be attached to this link or preferably
made in one piece with it.

A New or Improved Process for Manufacturing Bodies which are to
be Raised to Incandescence.
I, OTTO TIEGS of 3 Artilleriestrasse Berlin in the German Empire, Druggist, 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 process for manufacturing bodies which are to be
raised to a state of incandescence and its objects are to enable such manufacture to
be carried out in a simple cheap and efficient manner and to ensure that the body
produced shall give an intense light which may be either absolutely white or coloured
as desired.
In carrying this invention into effect a suitable salt of lime such as the
carbonate is subjected to the action of hydrochloric acid and to the resulting
liquid may added solution of ammonia. Suitable absorbent materials are im-
The remains of the
pregnated with the solution and calcined or burned.
impregnated materials are then capable of assuming a high state of incandescence
and giving an intense white light.
Other substances containing lime which may be used instead of the pure carbonate
are the shells of crustacea and the like.
Instead of hydrochloric acid any other acid capable of dissolving lime may be
employed and the saturated solution obtained may be diluted by an equal quantity of
water without losing its valuable properties.
Any suitable colour may be given to the light emitted from the incandescent body
by the addition of suitable salts.
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 process for manufacturing bodies which are to be raised to a state of
incandescence, consisting in impregnating suitable absorbent materials with a
solution of a suitable salt of lime substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in or relating to Fire-proof Ceilings.
I, JOSEF RUEBEN, of Lousbergstrasse 47, Aachen, in the Empire of Germany,
Architect, 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 method of constructing ceilings illustrated in the accompanying drawings
consists in filling up the compartments or bays between the beams or joists with
bricks or stones which are either laid on their edges (Figures 2, 3 and 4) or flat
(Figures 1, 5 and 6), and set aslant in pairs (Figures 3 and 5) or by threes:
(Figures 4 and 6) as shown at a, and, in the joints, where these slanting layers a
lean against each other (in pairs or threes) and meet at their apices, they abut
against quadrangular bars of iron b, trapezium or wedge-shaped in section, set on
the broader edge, with the narrower edge uppermost.
Statically regarded these slanting layers a constitute small flat arches, consisting
of two or three voussoirs, and abutting against the quadrangular iron bars, and
consequently under the action of a load, are only submitted to the strain of com--
pression, a condition which is comparatively favourable. On the other hand, the
quadrangular iron bars act as beams between two points of support and are
therefore in compression at the top and in tension at the bottom, when loaded.
This construction may also be used without mortar, provided the inclined position.
of the brick or stone voussoirs is secured either by the insertion of suitable wedges
or by the adoption of a trapezoidal form so that the surfaces may be radial i.e. the
bricks or stones being true voussoirs, and if, further, the quadrangular iron bars.
possess the needful power of resistance to bending, so that the strength of the:
structure is not derived merely from the cohesion of the mortar.
At the same time, for the purpose of imparting additional strength by such
cohesive power, mortar may be used with great advantage to fill the joints or
vacant spaces between the bricks or stones (so-called voussoirs) in such a manner
as to bind the iron bearers and brick or stone arches into one mass.
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;-
A fireproof ceiling consisting of small flat arches or strutted frames filling up the
bays or compartments between the joists or beams and composed of two or three
rows of bricks or stones set slantwise which at the points where they lean against.
each other on the slope with their tops touching abut against quadrangular or
trapezoidal iron bars set on the broader edge with the narrower edge uppermost.
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Pumps or Inflators for Pneumatic Tyres and other
purposes.
I, JAMES PENN TITTERTON of 363 Liverpool Road Islington London in the
County of Middlesex, England, Accountant's Clerk, 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 is an invention for an improved pump or inflator for pneumatic tyres or for
any other purpose for which such pump or inflator may be suitable.
The object of my said invention is to secure a more efficient supply of air than
is obtained in ordinary pumps or inflators. To attain the said object I so construct
my pump or inflator that the air which escapes as waste in the above mentioned
ordinary pumps or inflators is injected into the desired object in addition to that air
injected in the ordinary single motion of the piston that is to say both the forward
and return motions force air into the pipe C whence it is ejected.
In the accompanying drawings Diagram 1A and AA, B and B B are
small valves so arranged in the tube D that they admit or prevent the
entrance of air as required. These valves are formed of a cup shaped depression,
somewhat similar in form to that in an ordinary brace button, in which a small ball
of metal or other suitable substance is placed. A small bar goes across the top of
the valves, as shewn by dotted lines, to prevent the ball entering the tube D. The
valves mentioned above might be formed of a kind of flap in each case to attain the
desired object.
C is the pipe through which the air travels from tube D to the point of exit.
D is the tube or body of the pump or inflator.
E is the piston and rod.
Diagram 2. shows the action during the forward motion of the piston E.
It will be seen that during this motion the air is being forced through valve BB
into the tube C while the necessary supply of air is being obtained through valve B.
The direction of the air during this process tends to close A and also A A.
Diagram 3. shows the return motion of piston E and it will be seen that the
action of the several valves is the reverse of that shown in Diagram 2, that is
to say, valves A and AA are open for the entrance of air while B and B B are
closed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is:
:-
1. That in the manner above described both the forward and return motions of
the piston E are utilized to obtain the requisite supply of air.
