Improved Mould for Casting the Blades of Archimedean Screws.
We JAMES DYSON of Good Hope Mill, Ashton-under-Lyne in the County
of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, and RICHARD HARLEY WILLIAMSON of
21 Victoria Street, Ashton-under-Lyne in the County of Lancaster, Joiner, 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 :-
Our said invention relates to an improved mould or chill for casting the ribbon
shaped vanes or blades of the Archimedean screws forming the subject of a Patent
No. 21236 granted to us on the 22nd day of November 1892.
The blades of the said screws are built up of sections each of which forms a
complete convolution about the central shaft and which engage with each other.
and with the central shaft by means of one or more straight edges formed on the
inner edge of each section of the blade.
For casting the said sections we employ an iron mould or chill shown in front
elevation in Figure 1 and in plan with the top part removed in Figure 2. The mould
is in two parts and the adjacent contact surfaces of which are formed as a
screw. Each of the parts a and is so hollowed out in its interior that when the
mould is closed by slightly screwing the top part a down on the lower part b the
internal cavity lying between them corresponds to one of the sections of the blade
of the screw. Of the said cavity one half or thereabouts is formed by the upper
part a and the other half or thereabouts is formed by the lower part b as indicated
in dotted lines at d in Figure 1.
The central parte is left solid to form a core corresponding to the central shaft.
When the two halves of the mould have been brought into juxtaposition they are.
secured by turning down the handles e so as to engage with the tongues. To cast
a section of the blade the mould is closed and laid on its side when the metal is
poured through the casting hole g which is placed at about the middle of the length
of the section to be cast in order that the molten metal may run towards both ends.
of the mould at the same time.
After casting the mould is opened by disengaging the handles e and slightly
twisting the top part a backwards and upwards when the cast section may be
removed from the lower part of the mould."
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
A two part mould for casting ribbon like sections each of which forms a complete
convolution of an Archimedean screw consisting of two parts a and whose contact
surfaces are belical and which is closed by one part of the mould being screwed down.
on and secured to the other part substantially as set forth and shown in the
accompanying drawings.

JAMES GAMLIN, 182 Grange Road Birkenhead Chair Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention is supplementary to the ordinary method of framing chairs by
means of dowells, and is capable of being applied to existing chairs. The method
of application is as follows:-A rail either of wood or iron is placed across the-
seat of the chair, parallel to the back framing rail, and is notched into the two
side framing rails. Two bolts are then passed through this supplementary rail and
through the back framing rail of the chair, and the whole secured by means of
nuts, which when screwed up, firmly bind the joints of the side framing rails, and
the back of the chair thus preventing those joints from working loose when
the chair is used, as is frequently the case, under the ordinary method of
constructing, and bracing.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Chair Frames.
JAMES GAMLIN 182 Grange Road Birkenhead Chair 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:-
This invention which is a brace for strengthening the backs of chairs where
they are secured to the scat framing is applied in the following manner :-
The rail A of wood or other material is placed across the frame parallel with the
back rail marked B and is notched or dovetailed into the side rails C. Bolts G of
iron or other substance are then passed through the rails A & B at the points D.
The nuts E are then screwed up, thereby tightening the frame at the points H
where the rails C are already fastened to the back legs F by means of tenons or
dowells in the ordinary method of construction.
Should these joints at any time work loose they can be readily fastened again by
screwing up the nuts E.
The advantage of this is :-That the strain caused by a person sitting upon the
chair is removed from the joints H, to the point in the side rail marked J,
and that by being adapted to be screwed up, when through shrinkage or other
causes the joints have become loose, the chair can be kept in a constant state of
repair at those joints.
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 use of an extra rail or girder.
2. The use of a bolt & nut or screw, through the back rail of the chair, in
connexion with this girder.

An Improved Nail.
I, EPHRAIM WIMER, of Crabbottom, Highland County, Virginia, United
States of America, 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 nails which are especially adapted for use in the manu-
facture or repair of boots and shoes. The nails hitherto used for this purpose have
proved unsatisfactory by reason of the nail head wearing away, leaving the sole
loose. The object of the invention is to obviate this difficulty and produce a nail
which will securely hold the parts together until the shoe has worn out in other
parts, being particularly adapted for use in putting in shanks and for half soleing.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 shews the application of a nail of this invention and
Fig. 2 is a separate perspective view of the nail.
The nail consists of a shank a and head a' the nail being preferably rectangular
in shape and so arranged with respect to the shank that a shoulder a² is formed on
each of two sides thereof, the front and rear faces being flush therewith. The
head a' is preferably flat on all sides and the distance from the upper end of the
shank to the top of the head is such that in use the head will be imbedded in
the leather, preferably about two thirds the thickness thereof, the top of the head
being flush with the outer surface of the leather and surmounted by an auxiliary
cone shaped head as shewn in Fig. 1. By this arrangement the shoulders formed
by the conjunction of the head and shank give the nail a hold or perch on one third
the thickness of the leather, which necessitates the wearing away of two thirds the
thickness before the head can be worn away so as to pull through the leather which
proportion of wear of the shank of the shoe never occurs before the middle of the
soles have entirely worn away and should the outer head become worn the nail will
still perform its holding functions by reason of its peculiar construction.
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:
As an improved article of manufacture, a nail consisting of a shank, a head on
said shank, said head extending beyond the sides of the shank and having its front
and rear faces flush therewith, and an auxiliary cone shaped head formed upon the
main head, substantially as described and shewn.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The clip is made of spring steel. A strip of steel with spikes formed on it
similar to the spikes of a rat trap pedal is rivetted or otherwise fixed to the upper
part of the clip so that the shoes of the cyclist can rest on these spikes. The form
of the clip is such that by forcing it over the rubber part of an ordinary rubber
pedal of a cycle, it grips the rubber and fixes itself. By attaching two of these
clips to each pedal that is one over each rubber the pedal is virtually converted
into a rat trap pedal.

between 3 and 4. "Therefore the clip being of spring steel and being forced over
rubber of rectangular section equal to the width between 3 and 4, the sides E E of
the clip grip the rubber and fixes itself. When the clip is thus fixed the rubber of
pedal would be in the space marked B. I propose to use two clips to each pedal
that is one over each rubber. The clip can be made in various sizes to fix on the .
standard sizes of rubbers of pedals.

In carrying out my invention I take linseed or other suitable oil, say two parts
of oil to one part water, and add about two per cent. of sulphuric acid, I then pass
an electric current through the mixture, one or more of the electrodes may be a
revolving disc or discs, and air or ozanized air is forced or drawn through the oil
mixture to aid in keeping an emulsion during the passage of the electric current
and also to supply ozone, small quantities of peroxide of sodium may be added
slowly to increase the oxidation of the oil, but due care must be taken to prevent
fire. In making gum or resin varnish with oil or turpentine, or oil and turpentine,
I add about 40 per cent. of water and make an emulsion by the action of the
revolving disc electrode, or the air blast, or both, and then pass the electric current
through the mixture as long as necessary, a suitable chemical may be added to
increase the conductivity and oxidation of the mixture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Shearing Machine for Boiler-makers and others.
I, ASA CLARK, of Mill Street Luton in the County of Bedford, 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 a special machine designed to cut out the semi-circular
or semi-annular pieces of boiler plate known to boiler-makers as circular flue pieces.
Hitherto these pieces have been cut out by the tedious process of punching out
holes along the line or curve to be cut, and then breaking off the metal thus
partly divided, and filing the rough edges to the line required.
By means of my machine nearly all this labor is saved, as the machine cuts out
the semi-circular piece cleanly and completely, thus avoiding all necessity for
punching and filing.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings,
in which
Fig. 1, shows a side elevation of a shearing machine, with my improved cutter
and die applied.
Fig. 2, shows a back elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, shows a front view of the cutter and die the die being in section.
Fig. 4, shows a vertical cross section of the cutter and die.
Fig. 5, shows a plan of the die.
a, a, are driving and loose pulleys. b, is the fly wheel. c, d, e, f, are geared
wheels giving power required. g, h, i, are axles carrying pinions and pulleys.
i, also carries the eccentric of the ram k. 1, is the circular cutter which is screwed
to the ram k. m, is the die. n, is the cast iron socket of the die m, which is
screwed and pinned to the massive iron bed p, on which the iron plate to be cut is
placed.
These cutters 1, are nearly semi-annular in horizontal section, and can be made in
various sizes.
In front they have an oblique edge so that only a portion of the cutting edge is
engaged at a time. They can be made of one solid piece of steel as shewn in
Figs. 3 and 4, or with separate cutting edge as shewn in Fig. 6.
, is the separable cutting edge and it is fastened to the metal block (, by the
screw
The screw can be arranged to travel upwards from the lower face of the cutter
if desired.
By a series of cutters and dies the machine shewn can be arranged to shear
any curve or semi-circle under a radius of 6" x 4", which is the largest size it will
take, with great ease and rapidity, by bringing the cutter down upon the metal
plate in the usual way.
Larger sizes can be made as required.
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 1
claim is :-
The combination of a shearing machine with the special cutter 1, and die m, for

Manufacture of Aluminium Tannico-tartaricum.
I, JASPER WETTER, Patent Agent, of 433 Strand, in the County of London,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, a communication from the Firm of J. D. Riedel, Manufacturing
Chemists, of Gerichtstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to the manufacture of a soluble compound of
alumina with tartaric acid and tannic acid, which combines the effects of its
components and is therefore suitable for therapeutic purposes.
The production of the new compound takes place in two stages.
1. Manufacture of a basic tannate of alumina of constant composition according
to the formula :-
Ta₂
ΑΙ, (OH)
+10 aq. (aluminium tannicum basicum)
in which Ta represents the radicle of tannic acid. This is effected by bringing
alum, aluminium sulphate, or similar alumina salts together with tannin in dilute
aqueous solution and in the proportions indicated by the above formula, the
inorganic acids thereby liberated from the alumina salts being saturated by means
of sodium acetate, ammonia, or alkalies.
If sodium acetate be used for this purpose, it is added to the solution of the
alumina salt before the addition of the tannin solution, and if the last named
ingredients be employed, they are added after the tannin solution. The basic
alumina tannate obtained, when in an air dry condition, is a grey powder composed
as described above, and insoluble in water.
Analysis has given the following results:-
1-4025 grammes, when burnt to ashes, yielded
0.1520 grammes of Al₂O3
10 grammes, when dried at 100 C. lost 2 crammar of

2. Conversion of the insoluble basic aluminium tannate into the soluble compound
by treatment with an aqueous solution of tartaric acid, in the proportions of
2 molecules of tartaric acid to 1 molecule of the salt, and evaporation to dryness of
the filtered solution.

Improvements in Apparatus for Stopping Runaway Horses.
I, JULES JOSEPH MONSALLIER, of 73 Rue d'Allemagne, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The arrangement of apparatus destined to stop runaway horses has been devised
so as to combine power with certainty of operation. It also has the advantage of
being able to be applied to all kinds of bits, as will be seen by the following
description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 shows a side view of my improved stopping apparatus which may be
applied to any kind of bit.
Figure 2 is a plan of same
Figure 3 shows a front view of the same arrangement of stopping apparatus.
Figure 4 shows the apparatus in operation.
As is seen in the drawings, the cheek pieces a of the bit have, at the height of
the rings b, a mortise c, in which is articulated one of the levers d, which form a
part of my stopping apparatus.
.
This articulation is made upon a pine attached to a safety, chain, so that the
levers are removable.
The levers above mentioned are bent so as to pass under the lower jaw. They
are formed at their ends with a bridal loop or eye g, by means of which the
simultaneous operation of the two levers is obtained. A spring h fixed in the
mortise e keeps the levers apart and replaces them in position of rest.
The said levers are prolonged in front and they are hollow to receive the rod i
of the pads j destined to pinch the nostrils of the horse.
These pads are capable of being regulated by their rods, which are placed more
or less within the levers and which are fixed by means of set screws k.
The pads are lined on the interior face with india-rubber so as to avoid injury.
to the horse.
The above description shows the principle of my invention but I reserve to
myself the right to vary, if required, the details, materials and dimensions according
to the kind of bit to which it is applied.

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 prevent corks when released from bottles
containing mineral waters or other effervescing liquids from flying about and
injuring bystanders or causing other damage.
Now according to this invention I provide a wide bell-mouthed receptacle for
catching and preventing corks when released from bottles containing mineral waters
or other effervescing liquids from flying about which receptacle may communicate
with a second receptacle to contain the cork so caught.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will proceed to
explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in
which:-
Fig. 1. represents elevation partly in section of an apparatus for arresting and
receiving corks constructed according to this invention.
Figs. 2 & 3. shew methods of attaching the same apparatus to a wall or table
or counter respectively.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures.
A is a bell-mouthed receptacle to catch the cork B when released from the
bottle C this receptacle is preferably attached to a metal plate D forming a cover
to the lower receptacle E into which the corks fall. An orifice F is formed in the
metal plate D through which the corks fall into the receptacle E which receptacle
is preferably made of woven wire and secured to a heavy metal foot G to enable it
to stand steadily.
H is a metal ring to which the upper portion of the receptacle E is attached
this ring has secured thereto a hinge I to which is attached the metal plate D so
that by turning back the said plate the receptacle E may be emptied of its contents
or I may form an aperture in the side of the receptacle E to allow of the contents
being withdrawn which aperture may be closed by a suitable lid or cover.
In some cases the metal foot G may be dispensed with and the apparatus secured
to a wall by means of the plate L carrying a socket into which fits the tang K
which tang is attached to the ring H.
Or I may attach to the ring H jaws MM furnished with a clamping screw O by
means of which the apparatus may be secured to a counter N.
•
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 an apparatus for catching corks when released from bottles containing
effervescing liquids the combination of a bell-mouthed receptacle A preferably
attached to a metal plate D with a receptacle E for receiving and retaining the said
corks all substantially as hereinbefore specified and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
