We, BENJAMIN FRANKLAND, of Whalley Range, Blackburn, in the County of
Lancaster, Sizer, JOHN WILLIAM BANISTER, of Duke Street Mill, Blackburn
aforesaid, Manager, and LEWIS BANISTER,. of Rockfield Mill,, Blackburn aforesaid,
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of, this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to improvements, in beaming machines,, or, hair pin, mills,
being that class of beaming machine, in, which shaped pins are employed, and the
object of the present invention is to operate the machine. by means of fast, and loose
pullies, dispensing altogether with the friction driving appliances heretofore commonly
used. By the use of the improved: appliances, the machine can. be started or
"knocked off" without jar, and the treadles are, dispensed with, the machine, being
started by hand..
According to this invention, we employ fast and loose pullies for driving the
machine, and the strap fork for controlling the driving. strap. is, mounted on a cross
rail which extends across, the front of the machine.. The opposite end of the cross
rail is notched and held by, a. lever, the upper and free end of which, rests, against
the knocking off lever of the pin rail or rollers. The notch and lever, hold the
cross rail, fork, and strap, so that the latter is on the fast pulley, but when the lever
is knocked out of the notch, by the ordinary knocking off lever, a. spring causes; the
cross rail and, fork to move, end ways; and the fork carries the strap onto the loose
pulley, and the machine is stopped..
Instead of the spring, the ordinary weighted, lever may by links; be connected. to
the cross rail, so as to move the latter end wise when the notched end is released.

1, HARRY GREENER Saint Mary's Square, Birmingham, Gunmaker, 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 refers to an improvement in the safety mechanism of guns and
rifles.
The said improvement consists, in an intercepting catch, which catch is part of
an automatic safety piece, pivoted on the sear centre; which engages in a notch
in the tumbler of the gun or rifle, and prevents the striker from falling on to the
detonating cap of the cartridge; when the tumbler is released from, bent by
accident, or other cause than the pulling of the trigger by the user.
In the drawings herewith A. is the tumbler: E is the catch on bolt, fixed to the
automatic safety piece B; C is the sear; D is the trigger; F is a projection on
the trigger plate, bearing on a stud in the automatic safety piece.
When the trigger is pulled, by the user of gun or rifle, the point F of the
trigger plate D pressing on a stud, fixed in the bottom part of the automatic
safety piece B, causes it to move backwards so that the catch E is removed
out of the way of the notch in the tumbler, allowing it to fall and explode the
cartridge.
Fig. 1 shews the tumbler at cock. Fig. II shews the trigger pulled, the sear
point released, and the catch or bolt of the automatic safety piece B, moved out
of the way of the notch in the tumbler, so that it may fall freely and detonate the
cartridge.
By referring to Figure I it will be seen, that should the sear C be jarred out of
bent by accident, or any cause whatever, other than the pulling of the trigger, the
tumbler will not fall, as it will engage with the catch E and consequently the
charge will not be exploded.
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 :-
An automatic safety piece, pivoted on the sear centre, having at its upper end a
catch or bolt engaging with the tumbler, and actunted by the forearm of the
trigger as heretofore described.

Improvement in the Manufacture of Shafts and Pipes.

Improvement in the Manufacture of Shafts and Pipes.
I, Dr. HANS LOESNER of Leipzig Albert Street 12, Kingdom of Saxony,
Empire of Germany, Chymist, 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 improvements, in the manufacture of shafts and pipes.
Shafts and pipes subject to continual strains are liable to undergo in course of time
a change in the structure of their material which, as the grouping of its molecules
changes, is greatly deteriorated in quality. Whereas in new shafts the molecules
lie in the longitudinal direction, a rotary shaft will gradually group them in the
direction of its periphery, so that such a shaft will offer less resistance to torsion
in proportion to the time it has been used.
By my improved mode of manufacturing shafts and pipes the inconveniences due
to changes in the grouping of the molecules are to be reduced to a minimum.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents a shaft made according to my said invention, and
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a length of the same, partly in elevation.
Fig. 2 shows a pipe made in a similar manner, and
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of a length of this pipe, partly in elevation.
In the manufacture of shafts I employ a material consisting of entwined wires or
metallic rods d, leaving intermediate spaces which are filled up with appropriate
metal m, as shown in Fig. 1 and 14. Pipes are likewise made of wires on rods d
and a metal filling m, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and 24. By this means a change in
the grouping of the molecules is either entirely precluded or can occur only at
places which are situated in close proximity to the periphery. As however the
wires or rods are entwined, this charge can take place only in a portion of the
same. Accordingly the material of the shafts and pipes will in any case be
changed very little by the continual strains.
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 the manufacture of shafts and pipes the use of a material consisting of
entwined wires or metallic rods d and metal m filling up the intermediate spaces,
for the purpose of obviating charges in the grouping of the molecules by strains,
substantially as set forth.

Electrical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improvement in pneumatic valves which depend for
their action upon the movement of rubber with regard to a metal face or faces.
These valves frequently fail in their action on account of the rubber sticking to
the metal owing to chemical action. I have found that this difficulty may be
overcome by electrically coating the metal with zinc upon which the rubber has
little or no action under ordinary conditions and which can easily be deposited of
sufficient thickness to thoroughly protect the underlying metal.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Pneumatic Tyre Remover and Replacer for Bicycle and
other Wheels.
HENRY BARNES of South Harting near Petersfield Saddler 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:-
It consists of a double ended lever made of steel or any other suitable material,
each end being shaped like the handle of an ordinary spoon, and in such a
manner and of such a shape as to most easily facilitate the removal of the tyre,
and at the same time providing against the risk of injuring the inner or air tube.
The narrower end is to be used for the removal of the pneumatic tyre, and the
wider end for the replacing of the same. The removal is effected by putting the
narrow end of the lever under the wire of the outer cover, and levering the same
over the rim of the wheel.
The replacing of the tyre is effected by inserting the wider end under the wire
of the outer cover and over the edge of the rim of the wheel, levering the outer
cover over and on to the rim.
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 invention of this particular shape and modeling of the improved tyre
remover and replacer, and the application of the same for the particular purposes
herein described.

Improvements in Rollers for Sashes, Furniture, and the like.
JOHN CHARLES TAYLOR of 46 Haringey Road Middle Lane Hornsey, N.
Middlesex Mechanic 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 produce an improved roller which shall be
neater; quickly and easily attachable, of a durable character, with a minimum of
friction.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a metal casing, enclosing a suitable
roller and pin bearing upon a roller at bottom of casing, and revolving upon same
of brass, iron, any other metal or material. The advantage attainable by my
invention is a simple form of casing easily placed in position by use of ordinary
centre-bit.
In order that my invention may be more easily comprehended I refer to figures
in accompanying drawings of which
Figure 1 is a drawing made in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a section through Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan.
Figure 4 is a section showing slot E in sides of casing D.
Figure 5 is roller A as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 6 is bottom roller B as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 7 is pin C as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 shows my invention in perspective Fig. 2 shows roller A as seen in
position over and upon roller B, secured by pin C passing through roller A and
slot E keeping roller A perpendicular on roller B, thereby providing for rollers A
and B an easy revolution. By this position of rollers a strong construction is
obtained, avoiding pivot movement with solid wearing parts revolving with a
minimum of friction. D in Fig. 3 shows top of casing having rounded ends for
easy attachment. The effective action of this roller will be obtained by inserting
same in sides of lifting window sashes at bottom of sliding sashes, frames, doors,
drawers and the like, or in any position where it is desirable to relieve friction from
dead weight and assist by rotary action an easy movement.
I do not confine myself to the relative proportion of parts as shown in drawings
as they may be varied according to circumstances; without departing from my
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 :-
(I.) Double action of rollers A and B, substantially as described.
(II.) Attachment by pin C through slots E and roller A, substantially as
described.
(III.) And casing D with slots E substantially as described.

page_text: I, HENDER HARRY GARLICK of 1, Bower Place, Maidstone, in the County of Kent,
Boot Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in an improvement in bootmakers awls and has for its object
to provide a tool by means of which the operation of attaching a toe-cap, patch, or
india-rubber sole, to the boot or shoe may, be very much facilitated.
The bootmakers awl at present used consists of a pointed instrument adapted to
pierce the material and make a hole through which the thread is subsequently passed.
In attaching an india-rubber sole the hole of course closes up directly the awl is
withdrawn so that it is not easy to pass the thread therethrough, and in attaching a
toe-cap or patch to a boot the thread is damaged by what is known as "blind
stabbing," that is, passing the bristle laterally through the thread to enable the end
of the thread to be drawn through the material.
I avoid these objections by providing the awl with an eye for the thread in
proximity to its pointed extremity, the eye being of a size sufficient to receive the
bristle on the end of the thread and hold the saine while the tool is passed through
the leathor which thus serves as a carrier for the thread.
The awl is adapted for use by workers in leather generally but is more especially
designed for boot repairers.

HENDER HARRY GARLICK 1 Bower Place Maidstone Kent Boot Maker and
551 Hughenden Road 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 Awl has a hole near the point also a groove some distance up the same.
And in other respects apart from the above it has to be made in various lengths &

page_text: thicknesses according to the kind of work that has to done. It should also be
slightly bent.
The chief feature is the hole near the point.
The groove from same.
The length of same.
It has been invented solely on account of so much trouble having been made
through not being able to get the wax thread in & out when near the toe without
having to blind stabb them with these Awls. This difficulty is overcome it taking the
thread in & bringing it out again.
Ordinary shoe awls have no hole or groove.
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

I, EDWARD WILLIAM LANCASTER, of Church Road, Moseley, in the County of
Worcester, Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
I turn from a rod or casting of metal a cup shaped piece having one end formed to
fit the part arranged to receive the lubrication, inside the cup I place a spiral spring,
the top part of which is wound in concave manner thus forming a receptical for a ball
which I then place upon the spring. I then cover the cup, ball, & spring with a
metal disc having a hole in the centre for a small part of the ball to project through,
the edge of the disc I then burr over the outside edge of the cup & thus fixing it
to the cup In operation it is only necessary to press the spout of the oil can against
the part of the ball that projects through the hole in the disc cover which causes the
ball to receed and leave space for the lubrication to pass.

An Improved Prongless Buckle.
Year: 1896

page_text: Date of Application, 20th Apr., 1896-Accepted, 13th June, 1896
An Improved Prongless Buckle.
I, WALTER PRITCHARD, of 2 Cornewall Street, White Cross Road, Hereford,
Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner tho
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-.
The object of this invention is to supply an improved prongless buckle which
will hold a strap in position but will not injure same by perforating it. It
consists preferably of a rectangular frame provided with two lugs or projections
supporting the ends of a centre bar carrying a tightening device which I use
instead of the usual prougs. This device consists of a tail-piece preferably
Tshaped to which one strap is connected, and of a curved tongue or plate which
holds the other strap. The tongue and T piece are made of one piece of metal
and are provided with a contre bar which works in lugs on the frame as aforesaid.
I have already mentioned that one strap is connected to the T piece, but the other
is not permanently connected to the buckle. It is passed up between one side of
the frame and the curved tongue and down between sume and the other side of the
frame. Thus when the strap connected to the T piece is pulled or tightened it
will cause the curved tongue or plate to jamb or wedge the other strap against the
side of the frame. I will now describe my invention with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which :
Fig. 1 is an end elevation,
Fig. 2 a front elevation and
Fig. 3 a sectional end elevation of my improved buckle. In the latter view
the buckle is shown with a strap or hand in position.
The buckle consists of a frame a, with two lugs b, in which work the ends of the
centre bar c, of tho tightening device which I uso instead of the usual prongs.
This device consists of a tail piece e, to which one strap or band is connected, and
of a tongue d, made curved as shown.
Referring to Fig. 3, the two straps or bands to be connected are shown in
position. It will easily be seen that when the strap f, is pulled away from the
buckle it will cause the curved tongue d, to jamb or wedge the strap tightly
against the frame a, at the point a', and however hard the straps are pulled in that
direction they will not slip. On the other hand if they are pulled in the reverse
direction they can easily be unfastened.
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 :
In a prongloss buckle for fastening cloth bands and like purposes, the combina-
tion of the frame a, with lugs b, with the tightening device consisting of au axle or
rotating bar c, T piece e, and curved or concave backed tongue d, as herein
described and set forth.

page_text: Improvements in Shuttles of Looms for Weaving.
We, HEINRICH MEIER and NIKOLAUS DIETEL, Weaver-masters of Lechhausen
near Augsburg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria Empire of Germany do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention refers to shuttles and consists in an eye c of any kind
of material being provided in the side of the shuttle in front of the spool and
serving as thread-guide.
The upper part a of the eye c is of conical shape, and has a slit d, in which
the thread runs in order that loops and faults may be intercepted.
The conical form has a special purpose.
It often happens, that the thread forms a snarl.
As soon as this snarl gets to the slit d, it would slide, in the case that the eye
is of cylindrical shape, the outside of the eye to the upper edge of the same and
the thread fiually would get out of the slit.
But if, on the contrary, the eye is of conical shape, the snarl, as a traction acts
from below upon the thread, is not able to slide upwards at the conical wall of
the eye, but is obliged to rest on the lower end of the slit.
Dated this 17th day of November 1896.
