A New or Improved Combination Table and Writing Desk.
I, ALEXANDER KUNTZE of 38 Gartenstrasse, Breslau in the German Empire,
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 a new or improved combination table and writing desk
which may be variously constructed, as indicated by the accompanying drawings,
to which reference will hereinafter be made.
As illustrated by Figures 1 and 2, the table top a is hinged at one edge upon the
top of the frame within which, below the table top the writing desk c is constructed.
If the writing desk is sloped, as shewn by Figure 2, the front rail
may also be
hinged so as to fold down out of the way. Figure 1 shews the combination as a
table, and Figure 2, as a writing desk. To hold the rail b in position when the
article is used as a table, there may be secured in the upper edge of the rail ba pin
or projection which enters a corresponding hole or recess in the under side of the
table top.
In the modification illustrated by Figure 3, the table top is divided into two
parts each of which is hinged by its outer edge to the frame as indicated, the two
parts a' a² of the top being preferably on opposite ends of the desk c.
Instead of arranging that the table top, or the parts of the table top shall fold
into vertical positions as shewn by Figures 2 and 3, they may, by using hinges of
known construction, be capable of folding to the horizontal position only as illus
trated by Figure 4. In this case, the parts a¹ a² form supplementary tables to the
desk and serve for holding books and other articles.
Instead also of hinging the front rail b, as described with reference to Figure 2,
it may be longitudinally divided and the upper part of it, (d, Figure 5), may be
secured to the under side of the table top.
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 :-
A combined table and writing desk, constructed and arranged substantially as
hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

I, DAVID WILLIAMSON DAVIS, of 51 Wilcox Street, in the City of Detroit, County
of Wayne and State of Michigan, United States of America, Gentleman, 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 toys which will be hereinafter fully
described and pointed out in the claims.
My invention consists in arranging one or more hollow balls having holes
therein secured on a string or strings in such manner that they will depend from
a suitable handle so that when they are whirled around the air will pass through
the balls and make a musical sound.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the balls as
they annear when in motion, and Figure 2 is a sectional view showing one of the
balls having a diaphragm therein.
A represents a hollow handle through which are passed two strings B. The
strings are adjustably secured in said handle and when they become worn can
be easily replaced. The opposite ends of the strings are secured to the balls C
which are provided with the squared holes D arranged opposite each other.
The strings are about two feet long and are adapted to be swung by the
handle A by a slight movement of the wrist. They are started and swung in
opposite directions and the wind passing through the holes makes a musical sound.
The sound may be varied by the introduction of a diaphragm E in the balls.
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. A toy consisting of one or more hollow balls secured to a handle, and having
holes therein for the passage of air, substantially as shown and described.
2. A toy consisting of two hollow balls pivotally attached to a handle by strings,
said balls having squared holes therein, and a diaphragm located in said balls,
substantially as shown and described.

An Improved Hoe.
1, ALFRED STAPLEY, Builder, Maple Terrace, Brook Street, Belvedere, S.E.,
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 consists in making the hoe stock with a removable blade so
that the latter can be replaced by a new one when damaged or worn out instead
of as now throwing away the whole stock as useless when only the blade has
been damaged or worn out. For this purpose I form the goose neck stock
separate from the blade and fix the latter thereto by means of a metal cover
plate and screws. The blade may be of any suitable size and shape.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view Fig. 2 a plan and Fig. 3 a
front elevation of a goose neck stock A with usual socket A' at one end for the
handle but formed at the other end with a set off part wherein the blade B is
fixed by means of a heart shaped cover plate C and 3 screws D. The cover plate C
is by preference flush with the adjoining parts of the stock as shewn; this plato
should be of brass or other suitable metal wherein the screws will not rust fast.
Or the screws may be of brass and the cover plate of iron. The blade B may
be of the usual shape shewn and is provided with holes for the fixing screws D.
The parts are by preference made so that they are interchangeable; thus any
077

page_text: part of the implement can be replaced when damaged or worn out without having
to throw away the others.
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. Constructing hoes with removable blade as and for the purpose set forth.
2. Constructing hoes with removable interchangeable parts so that any part
can be replaced when damaged or worn out without having to throw away the
others, as set forth.
3. The construction of hoe with removable blade as described with reference
to the drawings.

JOHN PARKER Joiner Janefield Cottage Bank Street Irvine Ayrshire do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in treating ropes & cords with creosote to make them
more durable. The creosote made from coal tar is suitable for this purpose. The
unspun fibre or the spun threads may be treated by this process if desired before
being twisted into ropes or cords but I prefer to apply the treatment to the
rope or cord after it is made. When treating small ropes or cords it may suffice
to soak them in creosote contained in an open vessel and afterwards allow them
to drain till dry enough for use, but it may be more expeditious especially for
thick ropes and cables, to employ a closed vessel which can be worked under
pressure. Such vessel may be of any convenient size or shape with doors for
taking in the ropes and cords, and the pressure employed may be either that of
air or steam.

I, JOHN PARKER, Joiner Bank Street, Irvine, Ayrshire 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:-
I have found that ropes and cords saturated with creosote are thereby rendered
more pliable and durable and capable of resisting the action of water, atmos-
pheric influences and other causes of decay. The creosote from coal tar is suitable
for this purpose and it may be used alone or in conjunction with other substances.
The unspun fibre or the spun thread may be treated by this process if desired
before being twisted or plaited into ropes or cords but I prefer to apply the treatment to
the rope or cord after it is made. When treating small ropes or cords it may
suffice to soak them in creosote contained in an open vessel and afterwards allow
them to drain till dry enough for use, but it may be more expeditious, especially
for thick ropes and cables, to employ a closed vessel which can be worked under

We, GEORG MAHNKE, Merchant, of 29 Sternengasse, Koln, Germany, and CARL
KRAFT, Merchant, of 110 Eigelstein, Koln, Germany, 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 glass chimney A. is closed below by a sieve B, and above by an automatically
closing cover C to prevent the intrusion of insects, dust and the like. The cover C.
turns in a hinge D. on a top ring E. to be placed on the chimney A. and projects
beyond the pivoting point or hinge D. in the form of an extension F. to which
a piece of metal plate, bent so as to form a kind of clip, is attached so that it can
be made to slide to and fro, in order to balance the weight of cover C. so far as
to leave a very slight surplus weight which will tend to keep the cover on its
seat E. while as soon as the gas is lighted the cover will be raised and brought
into the position C¹. The surface on which the cover C. bears when closed is
surmounted by a projecting rim on the top ring E.
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:-
An automatically closing chimney cover characterised by a metal plate top mount
or ring, to be put on the chimney, with a hinged cover or lid shutting down
thereon, and which is balanced so that the ascending current set up by the heat

I, HERMANN SCHMIDT, Jun., Manufacturer, residing at Heinrichs, Kingdom of
Prussia, Empire of Germany, 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 relates to a nave which is to prevent the warping of
wheels which may be caused through lateral shocks or pressure in consequence of
collisions, falling or the like.
The weight of the nave is at the same time reduced to a minimum while its
strength is increased. This purpose is reached by the peculiar construction of
the nave, Figs. 1 and 2 and the way in which it is manufactured, enabling to
place the point of application of the spokes ss quite at the end of the space at
disposal between the forks GG (Fig. 1). In this way it is also possible, in con-
nection with one of the known ball-bearings, to situate, with this full utilization
of the width, the point of application of the spokes s almost or entirely in the plane
of the balls.
The nave is made of steel tube formed, as shewn by Figs. 1 and 2, by pressure
or the like.
The thickened part receives the inside thread for the known enclosures for the
ball-bearing-surfaces Fig. 1 and is flanged to receive the holes for fixing the spokes.
The advantages of this construction are:
1) The easy and cheap manufacture of the nave;
2) Its greater durability as it is made of one piece of tenacious material (steel);
3) Its small weight;
4) Lever-arms of the power between the spoke-rim and the plane of the balls
are dispensed with.
.Points 2, 3 and 4 condition a great stability of the whole wheel, such as has
never before been attained. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of a ball-bearing
provided with such nave.
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 nave of metal tube the flanging of the ends for the purpose of forming the
spoke rim, the point of application of the spokes being placed to the extreme end of
the space at disposal between the forks, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.

page_text: I, ARTHUR WILLIAM MURRAY, of 51, Park Avenue, Sandymount, County of Dublin,
Barrister at Law, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
It is an instrument by which the speed of engines especially locomotive and all
others subject to Board of Trade Regulations or other rules may be recorded in such
a manner that in the event of the fexed speed being exceeded a reliable record of the
amount of excess the duration thereof and the hour at which it occurred may be
procurable.
This instrument is constructed by attaching to a suitable governor a connection
which operates in such a manner as to mark on one revolving drum the hour at
the same time releasing a second drum on which after the manner of barographs
a curve showing the rate of speed is traced.
Dated this 24th day of February 1807
I, ARTHUR WILLIAM MURRAY, of 51, Park Avenue, Sandymount, in the County of
Dublin, Barrister at Law, 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 has for its object the automatic recording of the speed of any
machine whenever it exceeds a regulation speed together with the hour of the day
the machine was run at an excessive speed as well as the period of time for which
such excessive speed was maintained.
I attain this object by attaching to the machine an ordinary centrifugal governor A
or other suitable contrivance for raising or lowering a suitable lever B in conformity
with the speed of the machine.
When the regulation speed is exceeded the lever releases a drum 1) covered with
paper or other suitable material. This drum which is driven by clockwork H now
commences to revolve at a steady pace at the same time a style E suitably attached
to the lever B so as to rise and fall with the speed of the machine is brought in
contact with the drum bracing on it after the manner of the barograph a curve
representing the speed. Simultaneously with the release of this drum the action of
the lever brings a second style F into contact with a second similar drum G which
is revolving at a fixed rate the mark made on this second drum indicates the hour of

page_text: the day at which the infringement of the rules took place and the period for which
it continued. When the machine returns to its normal speed both styles are
withdrawn & the speed recording drum stopped by the action of the lever. The
various parts are shown on the section plan attached.
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 what I claim
is
The combination of a governor either of the ordinary centrifugal kind or other
suitable one having a lever suitably attached with two or more revolving drums
and styles as above described or any mechanical equivalent thereof.

Improvements in Stoves.
I, ADALBERT POGONYI, of Lovaszhat Street, Lovaszhat, in the Kingdom of
Hungary, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Student, 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 stoves and consists essentially in so
combining iron and earthenware or other like good heat-conducting material
with bad heat-conducting material that both the advantage of quick heating of
the one material and that of the longer heat-retaining properties of the other
material are obtained. Iron in itself is quickly heated but rapidly cools again,
whereas earthenware, once heated, retains its heat for a much longer time. By
means of combining these agents a very considerable amount of fuel may be
saved and the same heat obtained.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
Figs 1 and 2 show the improved stove in vertical section.
which:
A is an iron stove, of any suitable form or size, which is combined or con-
nected with an earthenware stove B, likewise of any suitable form or size, in
such way that the hot gases developed in the iron part may freely circulate in
the earthenware part and finally escape by the chimney.
a is an ordinary grate on which the fuel is placed in the customary way; the
fire is then started and the heated air and gases circulate first in the iron portion
and then pass through the tube supports 6 into the chamber e of the earthenware
part whence they pass downwards over the dividing partition f into the chamber d
and thence over the partition g upwards into the chamber whence there is a
tube or flue h conducting to the chimney.
The cross-section of the chambers d and e can be gradually altered by inclining
the partition g (Fig 1) so that the gases which gradually get cooler in circulating
keep the same speed and cause a uniform amount of outer air to he sucked in.
Fig 2 shows a modification in which the stove is fed with fuel from the rear.
It is, of course, understood that both the stove A and the stove B can be of
any sort of material or be of any form or size without departing from the idea
of invention which is to develope the heat in a good heat-conducting materia
and to then retain it in a material which is a bad heat-conductor.
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) The combination of a stove built of good heat-conducting material, such as
iron A with a second stove, built of bad heat-conducting material, such as earthen-
ware Bas and for the purpose shown and described.

page_text: 2) The combination with a stove of the combined type described, of chambers c,
and end partitions f and g, as and for the purpose shown and described.

this invention to be as follows;
-
The object of our invention is to render alternating current arc lamps more silent.
The usual practice is to treat all the parts throughout the lamp and cover to stop
vibration, but as we have found that the origin of the trouble is the core of the
solenoid, we provide a special means of intercepting all vibration at the point of
suspension of the core itself. For this purpose we find bushes of rubber fibre or
the equivalent are not effectual, so that by our method we introduce a metallic
spring as a connector between the core and the point of suspension. This may
conveniently consist of a spiral spring or laminated springs or any other well
known construction which will give sufficient resiliency and whose natural period
of vibration does not coincide with that of the periodicity of the current.

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: —
In our Specification No. 22677 1897 we have described combinations of Diazo
azo naphtalene sulphonic acids with Beta oxy naphtoic acid of the melting
point 216° C. Colouring matters of very great value can also be obtained from
alpha oxy naphtoic acid and Diazo azo naphtalene sulphonic acids which dye on
Chrome mordanted wool and which are distinguished by their great fastness against
Milling and Light. They differ from the compounds obtained from Beta oxy
naphtoic acid of the melting point 216° C. by their greater solubility in hot dilute
acid solutions and by their greater depth of shades. The combinations with alpha
oxy naphtoic acid producing more a Jet Black in contrast to the Blue Black
obtained from the combination with Beta oxy naphtoic acid of the melting.
point 216° C.
As an illustration we proceed as follows
50 parts by weight of Disulpho naphtalene azo alpha naphtylamine (obtained
by combining the Diazo compound of Beta naphtylamine disulphonic acid G with
alphanaphtylamine) are treated with 7 parts by weight of Sodium Nitrite and
the necessary quantity of Hydrochloric Acid to produce the Diazo-azo compound;
and the latter after it has formed, is then allowed to run into an alkaline solution
of 19 parts by weight of alpha oxy naphtoic acid, care being taken that the solution
is kept alkaline and cold during the operation and the mixture is well stirred all
the time.
The new colouring matter is salted out, filtered and dryed in the usual way.
It produces on wool, either unmordanted or mordanted with chrome, a Black
shade.
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
1. The process of producing new colouring matters capable of dyeing wool on
a Chrome mordant which consists in diazotising the sulpho acids of naphtalene
azo alphanaphtylamine and combining the thus formed Diazo azo compounds with
alpha oxy naphtoic acid essentially as described.
2. As new products the colouring matters obtained as described in Claim 1.

ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of our invention is to produce a cloth, specially adapted for use in
Gunpowder and other explosive works, such cloth having a glazed or finished outer
surface, whereby the powder or other dust will not adhere, and at the same time is
practically fire-proof, also the inner surface of the cloth is soft and comfortable to the
wearer.
We manufacture our improved cloth with preferably a mule spun woollen weft, and
preferably a fine English cross bred worsted warp, the cloth is then subjected to a-
fireproofing process consisting of passing the cloth through a bath containing a
mixture of twenty per cent. Tungstate of Soda, and ten per cent. Phosphate of Soda,..
with preferably seventy per cent. of water, and mixed or blended together. After
having passed through this bath the cloth is then highly finished or calendered: .
in the usual way, so as to produce the respective surfaces before described.
Cloth so manufactured and treated is practically fire proof, and specially adapted
for clothing for the workpeople of Gunpowder or other explosive factories, also for
wear at gas works, or other places where the clothing of workpeople are subjected to
a great heat or possible ignition.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we would have it
understood that we do not confine ourselves to the exact combination of materials or
quantities of ingredients used, but we declare that what we claim is :-
1. Fireproof cloth, for clothing for operatives employed in the manufacture of.
explosives substantially as set forth.
2. Manufacturing cloth of mule spun woollen weft, and English cross bred worsted
warp, afterwards treating the same to a solution of Tungstate of Soda, and Phosphate.
of soda, and then finished in the manner and for the purposes substantially as set
forth.

Improvements in Apparatus for Lowering and Raising Casks.
I, HENRY JOHN WORSSAM, of Wenlock Road, City Road, in the County of London,
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 apparatus for lowering or raising casks from floor to floor,
constructed and operating as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 is a front view of apparatus according to my
invention.
A A are two continuously travelling chains at a distance apart somewhat greater
than the length of the longest cask to be dealt with. I connect these chains by
cross bars B at intervals apart greater than the diameter of the largest cask C to be
dealt with. The chains A pass along guides G over slowly revolving sprocket wheels D
at the top of the lift and under pulleys E at the bottom. F F are another pair of
similar chains with cross bars M, these chains passing over sprocket wheels H and under
pulleys I of smaller diameter than the wheels D and pulleys E but geared so that
the two pairs of chains A and F travel at exactly the same speed, each of the
cross bars J of the pair F F being always on the same level with, but some distance
behind a cross bar B of the pair A A. The sprocket wheels H are fixed on a sleeve
which turns on the shaft carrying the sprocket wheels D, this sleeve being driven by
chain from a shaft K driven preferably by worm gear, and connected by a pinion and
intermediate with a wheel L on the shaft of the sprocket wheel D.
A cask to be lowered is placed on a pair of the bars B and M so that when these
descend they lower the cask to the floor below, where there may be provided a
sloped block N so that the cask on reaching N rolls off by an incline P.
By reversing the motion of the chain, casks can be raised from floor to floor.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Apparatus for lowering and raising casks constructed and operating substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

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 purpose of this invention is to get more spring in the handle at the same
time prevent all jarring of the hands.
In inventions hitherto the subject of patent cricket bat handles the pieces of
cane used for that purpose have always been cemented with glue, in our case
we use rubber solution for the middle of handle only, the ends being glued to
keep handle in position.
We describe the handle as follows
1st. We get small pieces of cane or any other substance, plane them and cement
same with rubber solution within four inches of each end, we then glue each
end to prevent pieces from coming apart, after cementing four or five pieces
together in the manner described we plane the said four or five pieces of cane or
other substance until we get a flat slip. We then plough the middle of the said
slip into small flutes. We then solution the said flutes in the cane or other
substance and then glue the ends together placing sufficient pieces together to

itself into very small pieces of rubber in every joint of the handle except the
ends which gives it a great amount of elasticity and prevents all jarring.

Improvements in Chains for Stentering Machines.
We, JOHN DOWNHAM, of Barnbrook Iron Works, Bury, in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist, and SAMUEL LOMAX, of Albert Works, Radcliffe (in the same
county) Finisher, 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 object is to combine in one link of the chain, botli the clip and pin
attachments now in use on different machines, so that either method can be used
on the same machine as desired without one attachment hampering the use of
the other.
This we accomplish by forming a projection in front of a link with an ordinary
clip attachment, upon or in which a pin plate can be fitted, "this projection
being sunk to a sufficient depth below the level of the clip plate to allow
the cloth to clear the top of the pins when the clip attachment is in use..
Referring to the drawings sent herewith:-
Fig. is a side elevation, (partly in section), and Fig. 2 a plan, of our
improved link. a indicates the clip attachment, which grips the cloth on plate b,.
c the projection, carrying pin plate d, e indicates the frame of the stentering
machine in which the link slides.

I, ARNOLD JOSEPH Colbert, of 54 Rue Causaincourt, Paris, in the Republic
of France, 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 a metal polish in the solid state, the efficiency of which
is equal if not superior to that of the polishes now in use and which are supplied in
the form of liquids or even in powder.
All these polishes must be placed in covers or receptacles more or less fragile and
expensive before they can be placed on the market, and in making use of them it.
is requisite to use sometimes brushes and sometimes liquids serving to spread them..
Moreover, their use is more expensive on account of the quantity of material lost
whether through the drying up of the same or through the use of too much of
the material. All these inconveniences are obviated by the use of my solid.
polish.
I produce this by melting ordinary tallow and by mixing the same in the heated
state with an equal quantity of emery powder. The preparation is then run into
moulds and formed into sticks which may be round, square, triangular or of any
other desired shape or section. After the preparation has cooled it is removed.
from the moulds and cut into pieces of suitable length to be wrapped in tinfoil or
the like. In order to make use of the preparation it is sufficient to rub the polish
with a clean cloth so as to coat the cloth therewith and to rub this cloth upon the
metal to be polished and to be made to shine. The metal is then rubbed with a
dry cloth and a brilliant and effective polish is obtained. The proportions
indicated of the materials employed may be varied and the tallow may be replaced.
by lard or other fat for the purpose of having a less hard product.
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 metal polish substantially as and for the purpose described.
