COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Stand or Holder for Photographs or the like.
1, ERNST DRECHSLER, of 14 Langestr. 14, Berlin, Manufacturer, 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 stand or holder for photographs or the like,
and has for its object to fashion such stand or holder of one piece of material in
such a manner that it will combine attractiveness with eccnomy and at the same
time constitute itself an effective means for displaying a photograph or the like
upon a mantel shelf or similar place. And in order that the said invention may be
the more readily understood, reference is made to the drawing accompanying this
Specification, in which the stand or holder is shewn in perspective.
In carrying my invention into practice, I bend or otherwise fashion a length of
wire or other suitable material a in the centre, so that the upper or beut portion
forming an arc of a circle, while the two side pieces a¹ are parallel one with the
other. Each of these side pieces a' is split or otherwise divided from the extremity
for a suitable portion of its length and the two portions so formed are bent or
forced apart as shewn. The forward end of the portion c which constitutes the
front foot of the stand or holder, is bowed or bent into the form of a loop c', which
is adapted to rest upon the surface of the mantel-piece table or the like d upon
which the photograph for instance is to be displayed, the upwardly turned portion
of such looped end being bent backward so as to bear against the point of the
foot c while, the extremity is somewhat curved as shewn.
The rear foot 6 is shortened to a suitable length, for the purpose of giving the
stand or holder a rearward inclination the better to display the photograph or
other article held thereby, and also to ensure greater stability or steadiness upon
its feet or supports.
The side portions a' may be given a twisted or other form for a part of their length
as shewn at a², if, desirable. In use the photograph or other article would be placed
upon the stand or holder above described, with its lower edge bearing against the feet
at the points where the upturned ends touch the main portions the upper part of
such photographs or the like, resting against the arc-like upper portion of the stand
or holder.
The steadiness and stability of the said stand or holder can be increased by
bending the feet portions b and c farther apart, or suitably prolonging same.
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 improved stand or holder for displaying photographs or the like upon a
mantel-piece, table or similar place, substantially as specified and illustrated.

We, PETER CARL CHRISTIAN MÖLLER, and PETER MARTIN BERG, of the
Firm of Möller & Co., of Ostergade 52 Copenhagen, K. in the Kingdom of
Denmark, Hat 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 :-
Hitherto it has been found difficult to so construct cylinder silk hats that they
may be folded into a small compass when not in use, as is possible with the well
known opera hats, owing to the fact that their appearance is to a considerable.
extent injured thereby.
Now the object of our invention is to provide a cylinder silk hat capable of being
folded into a small compass without affecting the appearance thereof to any
appreciable extent which we will now proceed to explain by the aid of the
accompanying drawings of which
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are side elevations of the three parts of a hat constructed
according to our invention detached one from the other,
Figs. 4, and 5 a sectional elevation and perspective view respectively of a hat
showing the parts secured together;
Figs. 6 and 7 perspective views illustrating the method of packing a hat-
constructed according to our invention and the box for the reception thereof.
As will be seen the brim a cylindrical portion c and crown of the hat are
constructed separately and the brim a and crown 3 are provided with projecting
flanges for fitting into the cylindrical portion e as shown in Fig. 4, when so fitted
the parts are held together by elastic bands secured at one end to the crown band
capable of being attached at their free ends to the brim a by buttons or the like.
When not required the three parts of the hat may be disconnected and the
brim a and crown 6 placed inside the cylindrical part c and the latter then flattened
slightly to enable it to be placed in a suitable box as shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
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 :-
Cylinder silk hats constructed, substantially as and for the purpose described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The machine chiefly comprises a trough or receptacle the sides of which are
preferably corrugated or ribbed, and a pair of rubbers r r adapted to be turned in
opposite directions, in order to effect the rapid cleaning of the clothes placed
between the same.
The upper rubber r is mounted on a hollow shaft w which surrounds and guides
the axle 1 of the lower rubber r¹.
Each of the said axles or shafts has a handle g g¹ adapted to turn the same.
The said axles are guided in the lid of the washing trough and can be lifted out
simultaneously with the lid.
During the removal of the lid, the upper rubber r is also lifted out, while the
lower rubber continues to rest on the bottom b of the trough, where it is guided by
a bearing. The rubber r is provided with a sleeve h which surrounds and guides
the inner shaft wl, the two parts being shaped and arranged in such a manner, that
the shaft may be drawn out of the sleeve, but cannot turn independently of the
same. The upper rubber may be raised or pressed down within given limits, by
raising or depressing the handle g, thus varying the pressure upon the clothes
placed between the rubbers.
As the shaft w¹ may be drawn out of the sleeve h more or less by means of the
handle g', and the latter is lifted with the handle g. the two handles are always
nearly at the same height.
In using the machine, the handles g and gl are grasped with the hands and caused
to oscillate in opposite directions, as indicated in Fig. 2 by dotted lines.

Improvements in Water Heaters.
We, JOSEPH YATES and WALTER YATES, of the Firm of Matthews & Yates
Limited of The Cyclone Works, Swinton near Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Engineers, 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 apparatus for rapidly and economically
heating water by means of high pressure steam.
We will describe our said invention with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which :-Figure 1 represents a side elevation, Figure 2 an end
elevation, and Figure 3 a plan, similar parts being indicated in each of the figures
by similar letters of reference.
The apparatus consists of a tank or cistern A, divided into two parts by the
partition B. In one of the parts C, which is preferred to be larger than the other,
there is a ball-cock D connected with a suitable water supply for the purpose of
maintaining a uniform level of water in the cistern. In the other part of the
cistern, E, there is a coil of steam pipe F, connected with a steam supply and
preferably arranged in a vertical position as shewn. There is an open communi-
cation for the water through the partition B between the parts C and E, so that
as water is drawn from E an equal quantity is simultaneously supplied from C.
The hot water outlet G may be directly controlled by a valve H from the
nozzle of which the water is delivered, or it may be connected with a pipe on
which there may be arranged a series of tap controlled outlets so that several
persons may draw hot water at the same time if desired.
The outlet from the steam coil F may be contracted and open to the atmosphere,
or it may be connected with a steam trap such as J.
Alternatively, instead of employing a single tank A, divided by the cross
partition B, two separate tanks or cisterns may be employed, but we prefer the
arrangement shewn as being more compact, whilst it is an advantage in practice
that the heat from the hot water in the division E is to some extent com-
municated to the reserve water in the division C, with the result that the
incoming water is already partly heated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A water heater constructed and arranged substantially as hereinbefore described
and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Steam Tramway Engines.
I, JOSEPH TOWNSEND of 97, Hindle Street, Darwen, Lancashire, Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
Hitherto, steam tramway engines have been constructed with doors at the front
and rear of the engine, folding doors being the class usually employed with their
respective leaves hinged on opposite corners of the aperture in the same plane, so
that they meet in the centre when closed and are fastened by a hand catch on one
door engaging with a speck or staple on the other. Now it may happen in cases
of emergency such as the bursting of the boiler tubes, pipes, or joints that this means
of exit would be most perilous for the driver or stoker. I therefore construct and
arrange additional doors at one or both sides of the engine, which may be of any
ordinary construction, but preferably fastened from the inside by means of a sliding
bolt, hand catch, spring button or the like so that in cases of emergency ready
exit may be bad thereby.
•
In some instances, if desired, the front and rear doors may be dispensed with,
and be entirely superceded by the use of side doors of suitable construction, in
which case a small step may be provided for easy entrance to the engine.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Stripe and Check Cloths.
ROBERT FITTON 18 Booth Street Manchester Cotton Manufacturer. I 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:-
In the manufacture of cloths the warp threads are all twisted in one direction.
By twisting part of the warp threads in the opposite direction and alternating a
number of ends twisted one way and a number of ends twisted the opposite way a
stripe effect will be produced. This cloth may be woven in an ordinary loom no
special motion being required as the stripe is not formed by differential interlacing
of the threads and not necessarily by different colours or shades of yarn.
A similar effect will be produced in the weft by alternating a number of picks of
weft spun one way and a number of picks spun the opposite way. This cloth will
require a loom with an ordinary shuttle box motion. By combining these two
effects a check effect will be produced. This also will require a loom with an
ordinary shuttle box motion.
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. The manufacture of stripe and check cloths as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Lighting the Magnesium-fulminating-lamps used
in Photographing.
I, LEOPOLD JOSEPH GORDES, Electric Engineer, of Cologne, Rothgerberbach
No. 54, in the Province of Rhineland, Prussia, 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:-
A number of different means have been devised in order to simultaneously light
a large number of the magnesium-lamps used in taking photographs. Among
other methods recourse was had to compressed air as well as to electric ignition,
without, however, arriving at satisfactory results. The last named method suffers
besides under the disadvantage of its being necessary in order to ignite the
fulminating powder to make the ignition-wires red-hot, thus requiring a relatively
strong current and in consequence an apparatus neither handy nor easily portable.
I have prepared and practically tested an igniting substance which only requires
a heat of about 120° to ignite, thus no longer necessitating a red-heat in the igniting
wires and in consequence, allowing of the use of weak electric currents and therefore
of small, handy and easily-carried batteries.
The composition of this igniting substance consists of three parts of gunpowder
and of two parts of chlorate of potassium, both in a fine powder and exceedingly
well mixed. This mixture is applied as follows:
The wire to be heated is covered with some of the igniting-substance which must
touch the fulminating-powder. As soon as the igniting-substance takes fire it also
ignites the fulminating-powder.
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 order to light any required number of the magnesium-fulminating-lamps
employed in taking photographs, the use of an igniting-substance, composed of gun-
powder and chlorate of potassium in the manner already described, in order to
transfer the ignition by means of a wire, heated-but not to red-heat-by an
electric current, to the magnesium explosive fulminating-powder.

Improvement in Lamp Chimneys
Year: 1894

Improvement in Lamp Chimneys,
I CARL GÜNTHER of Stettin, Grüne Schanze 11A, in the German Empire,
Manufacturer of Glassware do hereby declare the nature of my 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 an improvement in the known lamp chimneys
composed of single rectangular or cylindrical glass bars forming the circumference
of the chimney. It is an inconvenience of these chimneys that by an irregular
warming of these bars is caused an irregular extension of them in consequence of
which intermediate spaces arise between the single bars. Thereby the air gets
admission through these spaces to the flame and the draught of the lamp, other-
wise only effected by the air passing the gas-burner, is diminished in that way.
These inconveniences are obviated by my construction explained by the drawing,
in which
Fig. 1 is a front view of the chimney,
Fig. 2 a transverse central section, whilst
Figures 3 and 4 are horizontal sections on x and y y.
Like letters indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawing.
A U-shaped ring (a) encloses the lower ends of the glass bars (b) herein
cemented tightly a-breast of each other; in the same manner is made the upper
joining of the bars by means of the ring (c) which is provided with a rim (c¹) into
which is put in usual manner a common compact glass chimney (d).
In the chimneys with glass bars hitherto used the glass bars extend all throughout
the whole length of the chimney and therefore they often were twisted; in com-
parison the length of the glass bars in the new chimney is only just sufficient to
receive the length of the flame or of an incandescent body, and the total length
required for a good draught of the lamp is obtained by the addition of the solid
chimney (d).
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 improved lamp chimney, the lower part of its circumference directly sur-
rounding the flame or the incandescent body is formed by single glass bars fixed at
the end and the top into U-shaped rings; the upper ring having an upwardly
directed rim within which is put a common compact glass chimney.
