I, WILLIAM Phillips Thompson, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., Agent for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in
the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, and 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer,
do hereby declare the nture of this invention to be as follows:-
In order to better utilise the heat evolved on the heating surface of steam
boilers, the inner walls of the same are provided according to the present inven-
tion with iron ribs or ridges, which are thus simultaneously heated and transmit
the heat to the water.
This improvement is particularly successful with Cornish boilers, as the heat
may thereby be better utilised by means of such ribs or ridges, not only from
the fire tubes but also from the boiler walls on which the fire plays. In other
boilers the improvement must be arranged to suit the actual construction.
ships' boilers it is preferable to make the diameter of the fire tubes somewhat
larger, and to employ fewer tubes in order to allow sufficient space for the ridges
or ribs.
In
In applying the invention to a one-furnace Cornish boiler for instance, the
fire tube or flue is provided on its upper part with the ribs or ridges and on the
inner surface of the boiler wall, below which the fire flues are carried, other ribs
or ridges are provided, extending to beyond the centre of the boiler.. These ribs
or ridges are connected in the centre by a pivotal or hinge connection and are
held together in pairs lying on the fire tube or flue or on inner face of the boiler
wall by means of bolts running through them all, or in groups in order that
they may lie straight and may be inserted with more certainty.
The ribs are as far as possible exactly shaped or fitted to their supports (the
fire tube or flue and the boiler wall) so that they may everywhere fit closely
thereon, and the heat be well transmitted to them.
In cleaning the boiler the ribs or ridges may be separately or conveniently
removed in connected pairs from the boiler, and the boiler will be more easily
cleaned, as recesses are formed in the boiler scale or deposit at the points where
the ribs of ridges rest on their supports.

Au Improved Extensible and Adjustable Hook.
I, JULIUS COMPRADT, of Nordenstrasse, Hadersleben, in the Empire of Germany,
Hairdresser, 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 this application is an extensible and adjustable hook, which can
be lengthened or shortened as required, and serves for increasing or diminishing
the distance between two objects, and can be rigidly adjusted in any position.
The hook is especially serviceable for use in connection with open windows, as
it enables the distance between the window frames and the casements to be regu-
lated and in determining this distance furnishes more play.
Beyond the purpose mentioned, the hook can be advantageously employed in
connection with many other objects, which have to be held apart at varying
distances.
As the hook is composed of two parts, and the extension thereof is effected by
turning the one part or the other, if made sufficiently strong, it can be employed
for various purposes in connection with machinery, as for instance, for the
purpose of carrying tooth wheel gear in and out of engagement from time to time
& may obviously be also employed for moving & holding brakes and the like in,
and out of their operative position.
Fig. 1, of the accompanying drawing shews the hook shortened.
Fig. 2, the same lengthened.
The hook which is assumed in the drawing to be used for connecting two
objects op, consists of two parts, the spiral a and the rod b. On the latter is
a catch c which in the case illustrated is formed by simply bending the rod. The
catch c passes between the coils of the spiral, and, as the rod is more or less
turned in the spiral which must be held fixed, or the spiral is more or less screwed
over the rod, the catch c offering resistance, and the rod being kept from turning,
the length of the rod will be altered according to the number of the turns, which
the catch makes in the spiral or the latter on the catch.
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:-
-
An extensible and adjustable hook, characterised by a spiral a, in the coils of
which a rod b is more or less screwed by means of a catch, formed on such rod,
or which spiral is screwed over the catch-rod, which is prevented from turning,
substantially as shewn and described.

ARTHUR ASHWORTH, Manufacturing Chemist, Fernhill Chemical Works, Bury,
JOSHUA BURGER, Technical Chemist, Fernhill Chemical Works, Bury, 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:-
After the
We have found that the compounds obtained by Liebermann's reaction, that is by
the action of nitrosophenols on phenols in the presence of sulphuric acid, yield under
certain treatment valuable colouring matters, capable of dyeing vegetable fibres black
and brown shades from an alkaline bath. As an example how to produce a black
colouring matter we proceed in the following way: Ten lbs. para nitrosophenol and
forty lbs. phenol are mixed with twenty lbs. concentrated sulphuric acid.
reaction is over, hundred lbs. of caustic soda solution of 80° Twaddle are added and
then thirty lbs. of finely ground sulphur mixed with it. The whole mass is heated
for several hours to 180° C., until the reaction is completed. The colour forms dry
a blackish mass, soluble in water. From the aqueous solution of this product the
free colouring matter can be precipitated by mineral acids. The colour thus pro-
duced, dyes from an alkaline bath on vegetable fibres greenish blacks, which on
oxidation with bichromate of soda and sulphuric acid or similar oxidising agents are
converted into deeper blacks of great fastness. The proportions and temperatures
may be varied.
A colour, dyeing brown shades on vegetable fibres, is produced by
replacing in the above example phenol by commercial cresol.
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 as new is
1. The production of colouring matters, dyeing cotton black or brown from an
alkaline bath substantially as described.
2. As new products the colouring matters produced substantially as above
described.

Improved Membrane Style for Phonographs and Grammophones.
1, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middle-
sex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Louis Hermann
Ludwig, Mechanician, of 85D, Mariannenstrasse Leipzig-Volkmarsdorf, Germany,
and Edward Pfefferkorn, Merchant, No. 7 I Bayerschestrasse, Leipzig, Germany,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to produce an improved membrane style for
phonographs and grammophones of the kind furnished with cylinders or plates
with a covering of a fusible substance. An improved effect of the style is obtained
by heating the latter by means of some suitable medium, whereby the style will
penetrate deeper into the substance, and thus produce a sharper record of the
sound waves.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. is a sectional view of a membrane
furnished with the improved style, and Fig. 2 is a detail view of the style.
The style a, in this example of the invention is heated electrically and for
this purpose is supported by a small pipe which receives the conducting wires b, c
and is made of insulating material. This pipe or tube is inserted in the middle
of the membrane. The conducting wires b, c are attached to a battery Q or to
some other suitable source of electricity.
The heating of the style can also be effected by other means, for example, by
means of a thin spirit flame acting on it from the side.
The style a may be advantageously furnished with a number of graving teeth
placed transversely to the direction of movement of the surface to be engraved
as shown in Fig. 2 the rate of feed being proportionately increased. By means
of the electric current, the bars carrying the teeth are heated, and the heat there-
from transmitted by conduction to the teeth.
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. Membrane style for phonographs, the distinguishing feature of which is
that it is heated by a suitable medium, for the purpose of causing the waves of
sound to be more deeply engraved in the covering body or mass.
2. A style for grammophones, phonographs and the like, with several engrav-
ing teeth, placed transversely to the direction of movement of the surface to be
engraved.

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus Suitable for Boring and
Internally Screwing Holes in Gun Carriages, Mountings and
similar work.
We, HULSE & Co., LIMITED of Ordsal Works, Salford, in the County of Lan-
caster, Engineers, and HENRY BATES, of the same place, Managing Director
of the said Company, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improved constructions and arrangements of machi-
nery or apparatus suitable for boring and internally screwing holes in parts
of gun carriages and mountings, and similar work, such for example as the
cradles for gun carriages.
In one construction of boring and internal screwing machine according to
this invention there is a slide bed upon which is arranged a longitudinally

A communication by THE VEREINIGTE PINSEL-FABRIKEN, of 21, Prater Strasse,
Nuremberg, in the Empire of Germany, Brush Makers.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both
in the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, and 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Civil 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 has for its object an improved method of making paint brushes
and the like in which the bunch of hair or bristles is held in a tapering holder
or ferrule. Such brushes have hitherto been mostly produced by the approximately
cylindrical rear end of the bunch of bristles being inserted in a similarly shaped
socket or ferrule and compressed or contracted into a conical grip by the said ferrule
being pressed in.
The difficulties connected with the pressing in and more particularly the with-
drawal of the ferrule from the conical or tapering die are avoided by the present
improved method which is shown in the accompanying drawings in Figures 1
and 2.
The cylindrical socket or ferrule a is provided at its rear end by bending round
the edge with an inwardly projecting projection a¹ on which the handle 6 with
enlarged head rests when inserted from above. The already bound and greatly.
spread out end of the bunch of bristles c is inserted in the cylindrical part of the
socket or ferrule remaining over the head, so that said end el rests with its lower
surface on the shank or handle. When this has been done the socket or ferrule
is compressed by lateral pressure in the manner shown in Figure 2 into a tapering
shape, that is to say clamped over the splayed or spread out end c¹ of the bunch
of bristles, and thus the latter is retained in the socket. The compression of the
socket or ferrule is effected by means of a device in two parts d, d', so that no
jamming of the socket can take place, and the withdrawal of the finished brush
from the mould or die presents no difficulties..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is:-
The method of making paint brushes and the like characterised by a handle (6)
provided with an enlarged head (61) being inserted from above together with the
lower splayed or spread out end of a bunch of hair or bristles, which rests on the
head (), into a socket or ferrule (a) provided with an inwardly turned edge (a)

improved Stop Mechanism for Lubricator.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, 6, Lord Street,
Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and
Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Civil 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:-
The object of this invention is to simplify the construction of that kind of
lubricators in which the forward motion of the piston is effected by means of a
constantly rotated screw pushing the piston forwards, and is at the end of the
stroke automatically stopped by means of a disconnecting mechanism which
releases the nut or female screw, through which the said screw passes (and by
means of which a forward motion is imparted to the piston) so that the nut may
follow the screw in its rotation.
The simplified arrangement is shewn on the attached drawing.
The upper end of the piston a is provided with a nut b, which can revolve, but
is prevented from moving in an axial direction relative to the piston, for instance
by means of the pins g; through this nut passes the screw c, which can not move
in the axial direction, and the revolving of which is effected in some known
manner. The nut 6 has arms d which are notched, so that the nut is prevented
from rotation by the guide e when the piston is pressed down by the rotatory
motion of the screw. These guides only reach to the point f, and when the nut
has reached this point it will be released and take part in the rotation of the
screw, so that the downward motion ceases.
By this simple arrangement the moving as well as the stopping mechanism is
reduced to as few movable parts as possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated
to me by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is:-
Stop mechanism for lubricators having stop arms or lugs projecting from a nut
in the upper part of the piston and provided with notches bearing against guides
so that the nut is prevented from turning until the stop arms or lugs have been
carried below the ends of the said guides.

Improvements in and relating to Boiler Furnaces.
I, BERNHARD Fröhlich, of Reudnitz, near Leipzig, in the Germany Empire,
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 boiler furnaces of that type in which air to effect
secondary combustion is admitted behind the firebridge. Such air is generally
heated by being passed through a cellular or equivalent heating device, and the
object of these improvements is to so construct and arrange the heating device
that is shall not be directly exposed to the products of combustion, and so that
the air admitted shall be as free as possible from cinders or ashes. The heating
device thus runs no risk of being burnt or of being choked up by cinders, ashes
and the like.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in vertical section part of a boiler and
furnace to which the improved device has been applied.
As will be seen the heating device a is contained within the substance of the
firebridge band is thus out of direct contact with the products of combustion g.
It consists as is usual, of a number of cells, grates, bars or the like, through or
around or between which air is passed and heated. The passage of the air for
the secondary combustion is indicated by the arrows f. The door c by means of
which the flow of air through the device is regulated or controlled is pivotted
or hinged at d, and is so placed and arranged that air can only enter at or near
the top of the ashpit. The incoming air is thus forced to flow along the under
side of the fire bars, and the ashes and the like lying on the bottom of the ashpit
are undisturbed. Not only is the air thus obtained free from cinders, but it is
heated to some extent during its passage along or near to the fire bars, which in
their turn are cooled with the result that they last much longer.
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. In a boiler furnace, a cellular or equivalent air heating device which is
arranged within the substance of the firebridge and is provided with an opening
or inlet so constructed and arranged that air can only enter at or near to the top
of the ashpit, substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
2. In a boiler furnace, a device for heating the air necessary for secondary
combustion, constructed and arranged substantially as herein before described and

Improvements in Electric Lamps with Illuminating Bodies made of Second Class Conductors.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 29th Aug., 1899-Accepted, 2nd Dec., 1899
[Communicated from abroad by ALLGEMEINE ELEKTRICITATS GESellschaft, of
Schiffbauerdamm 22, Berlin, Germany.]
Improvements in Electric Lamps with Illuminating Bodies made of
Second Class Conductors.
I, VICTOR ISIDORE FEENY, of 60, Queen Victoria Street, in the City and
County of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent, 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:-
Lamps with illuminating bodies made of second class conductors or electrolytes,
as is known, require when intended to ignite automatically, an interrupting
apparatus for the heating current. With the systems hitherto known, this is
placed in the lamp socket and therefore it is not possible to screw lamps of the
kind into the Edison Swan or similar sockets used for ordinary incandescence
lamps.
The object of this invention is a lamn with illuminating bodies made of second
class conductors, in which the lamp base or stem (as distinguished from the
holder or socket) receives and contains the interrupting apparatus for the heating
current. Now in order to prevent the bases or stems in such lamps from becoming
heated, in the present invention a special protecting plate, made of a material
which is a bad conductor of heat, is arranged between the base or stem and the
illuminating body.
In the accompanying drawing, two forms of the improved lamp are illustrated.
The lamp consists, Fig. 1. of the porcelain base or stem a, the contact casing b,
the electromagnet c, and the protecting partition d. Through this protecting
partition run the tubes hi for the reception of the wires e f g intended
for the illuminating and heating bodies, there being a free space or play'
throughout. The advantage of this arrangement is that no current conducting
parts can be disturbed when the lamp is screwed in.
"
In the form illustrated in Fig. 2 the protecting partition described in the first
example is not in the form of a special plate, but is composed of one piece with

New Method of Advertising in connection with the Ceilings of
Barbers and Hairdressers Shops.
I, CARL KOLLERBOIM, of No. 52, Alterwall, Hamburg, in the German Empire,
Sign Writer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The present invention refers to a new method of advertising in connection with
the ceiling of barbers and hairdressers shops.
I will now proceed to describe the invention more fully, reference being had to
the accompanying drawings, in which as an example, one mode of carrying the
invention into effect is illustrated:
The ceiling of barbers and hair-dressers shops is fitted with suitable frames a
for the insertion of advertisements in the form of show cards 6 of any design and
ornamentation.
A person seated in the chair c, to be shaved or have his hair otherwise attended
to, will be bound to observe the advertisements on the show cards, while the
head is resting on the head supporter or rest of the barbers chair.
In Fig. 2 I have shown a frame a carrying show cards b, the reading matter
or designs on which point in two directions, which is necessary when both sides
of a barbers shop are fitted with chairs. The advertisements may likewise be
provided on the ceiling itself, or be pasted thereon.
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:-
Advertising in connection with the ceiling of barbers and hairdressers shops,
consisting in fitting to the ceiling one or more frames for supporting showcards
of any size and ornamentation therein, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Seat Action Closets.
Year: 1899

page_text: Improvements in Seat Action Closets.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Sanitary Works, 72, Park Lane, Leeds,
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 improvement consists in the use of a flushing cistern A, having a well J,
a stand pipe H, and a bell B. When the ball cock G, or other source, fills
cistern and the bell is raised and permitted to fall, the water in well is
forced upwards within the bell, and falling over H, sets up syphonic action,
so discharging the cistern to closet or other apparatus. Such a cistern is well
known, but my invention consists in the arrangements employed for causing
the same to be actuated by seat action. As will be scon I insert a pipe E, in
cistern and this pipe E, has passing through it a rod F; in place of the usual
lever employed for lifting the bell which has hitherto been actuated by a pull
chain, I substitute a lever such as C, hinged at D. Now when rod 1', is pushed
upwards it lifts lever C, and with it the bell B, and when rod F, is released,
the bell B, is permitted to drop and to set up syphonic action as before described.
Whilst I shew the actuating gear within the cistern it may be applied with
equal effect externally, and it is obvious also I may use a syphon or other form,
the arrangement I lay stress upon being the lifting of a bell or other displacer
by rod as F, actuated by seat. Now to actuate by seat it will be seen that F,
terminates in a fork or eye P in contact with the lover Q, such lever being an
extension of a hinge S on seat: the hinge is centred on M, or any convenient
position, and is attached to seat N. As shewn seat N, is up, the bell B, is down.
but when the seat is brought down upon closet L, for use the bell B, is lifted
and when after use the seat is freed, then bell B, falls and starts syphon which
delivers the contents of cistern to closet by K, K.
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:
--
1st. The use of a cistern wherein a falling bell or other falling displacer is
employed to set up syphonic action, the said bell or displacer being raised
preparatory to its fall by the rod F, or its equivalent, the rod F, being lifted
by a suitable lever or other attachment to or on the seat of a closet.
2nd. The combination of the bell B, or any displacer in use with a rod
answering to F, to lift the bell as seat is depressed.
I claim the combination of the parts shewn and described or their equivalent,
though differing in conformity, substantially the same.

I, FRANK ILIFF LUMLEY, of 6, Leander Road, Brixton Hill, Ironmonger, 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 is an improved trap for catching mice or rats, and consists
of a board A made with side strips, BB extending beyond the length of the
board, A which act as supports for another piece of board, which is pivoted
between the strips, B B in such a way that according for which the trap is made,
it tips up with the weight of a mouse or rat passing beyond the pivots, DD from
the board on which the side strips BB are. The mouse or rat being thus tipped
off into a suitable receptacle placed below to recieve it, the tilting board C when
relieved of the weight, then returns to its original horizontal position of its
own accord, and is prevented from going beyond by a stop E placed for that
purpose. The part of trap already described could be made of other materials,
such as tin, or sheet iron, but wood is preferable, as mice or rats will not walk
so readily on metal. The aforesaid side strips BB should extend to the end of
tilting board, C and on the ends of these strips BB, I fix a hood F, of metal,
or cardboard, or thin sheet iron for preference, open at both ends, over the tilting
board C to extend from near the pivots D D to outside end of tilting
board C. This hood F should be high enough so that a mouse or rat has to raise
its head a little to reach the bait G, which can be fixed inside the hood F,
at the furthest end from pivots DD). This hood F could be fixed on the tilting
board C, but in that case after having been tipped up, it does not return to the
horizontal position so easily. The objects of this hood Fare to prevent the mice
or rats jumping too far when they feel the tilting board C moving, and also to
carry the bait Ğ.
Under the piece of board A on which are the side strips BB,
I place a spring clip H, the object of which, is to clip that part of the trap on
to a table, shelf, etcetra, the rest of the trap overhanging.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained, the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:

the employment of needles having barbed ends, for the purpose of automatically
engaging with the binding material supplied from reels beneath the packing
space, and drawing it in a loop through the material, the material to be next
acted upon holding the free end firmly after the loop has been cut and the com-
pressed bale tied, substantially as described.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete
device for binding bales and the like substantially as described or illustrated in

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pavement Lights and Daylight Reflectors for
Cellars and the like.
I, HERMANN SCHWINNING, of Andreasstrasse, 48, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, Merchant, 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 improved means for illuminating rooms such as cellars
and the like in which the light is introduced from above by which means the
entering light rays are nearly uniformly distributed through the whole room and
are projected both upon the floor as also against the ceiling. For this purpose
certain glass prisms of known form are arranged in the light opening or shaft
in combination with reflectors which are arranged underneath the same. In
consequence of this arrangement of glass prisms in combination with reflectors
as represented as the example in the annexed drawing, those rays from the
prisms a thrown against the wall which ordinarily would not pass into the room
to be lighted and which would therefore be almost entirely lost, are caught by the
reflector and thrown into the room. The reflector is arranged underneath the
prism window and can according to circumstances be arranged round the brick-
work of the window or other support so as to project the natural rays falling in
any direction into the room to be lighted.
The prisms can have any form; one or more different reflectors may be used
as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-.
Improved means for illuminating cellars and the like with natural light whereby
the light rays are uniformly and entirely projected into the room to be illuminated,
consisting of prism-like glass bodies a arranged in the light opening or shaft in
combination with reflectors b which may be differently formed and arranged
according to requirements.
