Improvements in Syphon Tanks or Cisterns.
I, THOMAS EDWARD GIBBONS, of Forton Road Gosport in the County of Hampshiro,
Plumber 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 syphon tanks or cisterns, and has for its
object the certain and effectual working of the same.
And in order that my Invention may be readily understood, I refer to the
accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in both
figures.
A A represent the tank or cistern which is divided into three compartments or
chambers B, C, and D. The compartment or chamber B is constructed with a
holding capacity of say (for example) two gallons, and is fitted with a ball cock a.
This chamber B communicates with a chamber C by means of a hole b, made near
the bottom of the partition c, between said chambers. The chamber C is intended
also to hold two gallons. Into this chamber C, one arm E, of a syphon dips, the
other arm F, passing over the partition c, into and through the chamber D, which
holds about half a gallon. This latter chamber which is divided from B and C by
a cross partition cx, is supplied through a hole d in this partition, from chamber
say about 1 inches below the water line. The chamber D is intended for starting
the syphon. A small air vent e is drilled in the upper part of the bend of the
syphon. H is the usual weighted lever operated by a chain, I being a valve having
its seat in a bent pipe f projecting from the syphon.
•
In the modification shewn in Fig. 2 the valve and lever are dispensed with and
the syphon is entirely placed in the compartment or chamber C. The water for
starting the syphon is supplied from the compartment or chamber D through a
spring stop cock J jointed to the down pipe K, as shewn in the drawing. L is the
overflow pipe.
Having now particularly described my Invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In a syphon tank or cistern, the construction arrangement and combination of
the several parts of which the same consists, substantially as herein before described
and illustrated in the annexed drawings.
2. In a syphon tank or cistern, the modified construction and arrangement of
the syphon and spring stop cock, substantially as described and illustrated in the
annexed drawings.

Improved Childrens' Toy or Model Building Blocks.
I, PAUL LOCHMANN of Lange Strasse, Gohlis-Leipzig, in the German Empire,
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:-
The blocks hitherto used as toys or for forming miniature or model buildings have
the defect of being unstable unless permanently connected with each other which
operates against their use as toys, and the mere placing of them over or against one
another does not suffice for complex constructions.
This invention has for object to give stability to constructions of this kind
without the necessity of permanent connections between the blocks, for which purpose
they are formed as shewn in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a view of
one side of a block, Fig. 2, a view of the reverse side, Fig. 3 a vertical section,
Fig. 4 shews a number of built up blocks joined together and Fig. 5 a top view of
built up blocks. These are provided on one of the two large sides with projections a,
and directly opposite thereto on the reverse side with recesses b. The ends may also
respectively be formed with a projection and recess. These projections and recesses
are so arranged that those of one block will engage with one other or two others by
each of their large sides according as they a laid lengthwise or crosswise to one
another. They may also engage by their two ends.
To effect the object of the invention the projections and recesses of the large
sides are each placed at the same distance from an imaginary middle cross line as
from the edges, that is to say, each is situate in the centre of the half block. The
end projection and recess are also in the centre of the end surfaces.
With circular projections and recesses the block will always engage with each
other and be readily disjoined but other forms may be used if the laying of the
blocks is limited to a particular coursing or position with respect to one another.
•
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 construction of building blocks of the kind referred to, with projections and
recesses, for the purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.

An Appliance for Spinning both Artificial and Natural Fishing Baits
Reverse Ways.
HARRY LEONARD INSKIP 6 Lansdowne Torrace Bruce Castle Road Tottenham
Middlesex Oil cake broker, 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 an appliance for spinning both artificial and natural fishing
baits reverse ways.
My plan is to provide reversible fins which are attached to a round pin running
through the head of the bait, by means of solder screws catch spring or any other
manner most convenient. The fins on artificial baits are fixed in the required
position by making a square hole in the head of the bait and putting a square
on the pin running through it. A spiral spring attached to the pin within the
head of the bait locks the pin when set in the desired position.
In applying my
invention to natural baits, I provide one of the reversible fins on
the side next to the body of the fish, with one or more small spikes projecting in a
parallel direction with the spindle or pin, for the purpose of inserting the same into
the body of the fish and thereby retaining the fins in position.
One half turn of the fins reverses the spinning action of the bait.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I now refer to the
annexed drawings. Fig. 1. is a plan of the head and part of the body of an artificial
or phantom bait, part of the shell or body being removed.

page_text: 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 construction of reversible fins by means of which all fishing: baits can.be
made to spin either way at pleasure.
(2) That the said reversible fins may be attached to either artificial or natural
spinning baits in any manner found most convenient and best adapted to the nature of
the bait and the substance of which same may be composed.
(3) That being enabled by means of my reversible fins to spin the fishing bait
either way, the line when spinning does not become kinked, twisted or tangled.

Figure is a face view, Figure 2 is a cross section, and Figure 3 is a back view, of
one of my improved tiles. Figure 4 is a back view of two tiles arranged in a line
with each other, and Figure 5 is a back view of several tiles arranged at half distances
so as to "break joint" with each other.
a represents the body of the tile, the face of which may be ornamented in any desired
manner, whilst the back is formed, as heretofore, with transverse grooves in each of
two directions to afford a suitable holding for the cement used in affixing them to a
wall or other surface. Each tile is formed at its upper edge with a narrow lug bat
each end, and a broad lug at the centre, and with narrow rebates c, c, between the
said broad and narrow lugs; it is also formed at its lower edge with a narrow
rebate d at each end and a broad rebate d'at the centre, narrow lugs e being interposed
between the said narrow and broad rebates.
Thus the broad lug b' of one tile can be placed, as shown at figure 4, in the broad
rebate d' of the tile immediately above and in line with it, or it can be placed, as shown
at figure 5, in the narrow rebates d. d. at adjacent ends of two upper tiles placed at
half distances, so as to cause the tiles to "break joint" with each other. In the former
case, the narrow lugs at the upper edge of one tile will lie within the narrow
rebates d at the lower edge of an adjoining tile, as shown at figure 4, whilst in
the latter case, the narrow lugs at the upper edges of two adjacent tiles will lie
within the broad rebate d¹ at the lower edge of an adjoining tile, as shown at
figure 5. The lugs b, b', are each pierced with a hole to receive a screw or nail,
by which the tiles may be fastened to the wall or other surface to which they are
applied.

page_text: The lugs are preferably made, as shown, to about half the thickness of the
general body of the tile, and the rebates are sunk to a depth which will conveniently
accommodate the lugs.
I would here remark that the essential feature of my invention consists in so
arranging and proportioning the lugs and rebates in opposite edges of tiles as to
enable them to be readily fitted together either in straight lines or in broken lines
as herein described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is
The construction of tiles of the character herein described with lugs and rebates
at two opposite edges thereof, so proportioned and arranged in relation to each other
as to enable the said tiles to be fitted together either in straight lines or in broken

This invention, has for its object an arrangement of Chimney terminal or Ventilator
so contrived that the wind acting on the vane which works on a centre and connected
only to the drum, thus causing the wind to be its own operator, by closing the
apertures to the wind and giving full way to the exit.
The accompanying drawings describe the most improved form known to us of

of Vane F.
B is an outer casing, permanently fixed to tube. A upon brackets G, enclosed
with a cone top, and having vertical apertures or spaces around same.
The mode of action is as follows:-The vane being attached only to the drum C,
with its part marked F over centre of exit opening in C, is caused to rotate by the
least wind, upon the point of centre rod E, thereby causing the apertures to the wind in
the outer casing B, Figure 1, to be entirely closed against the wind, as shewn at C. C.
so as to prevent any wind blowing down the tube A, and the wind blowing throngh
apertures in outer casing B on to drum C, cannot find any exit only through
apertures under back of Vane F, thereby increasing the updraught of smoke or
gases from the tube A.
It is so arranged as to be easily cleaned, and the sweeps brush cannot possibly
do any injury, the Head being protected by the iron bridge D.
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. An Improvement in Ventilating heads and Chimney pots, consisting of a fixed

Improvements in Gig Mills.
I HENRY MORTON of the firm of Morton, Son, & Co. of Heckmondwike in the
county of York, Ironfounders and Machine Makers, 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 :-
In the ordinary gig mills now made, the raising cylinder and cleaning brush have
been worked by an oscillating swinging motion, operated, from the top shafts and
suspended by rods.
This motion produces vibration, and is very unsteady, and so does not allow the
cylinder to work so evenly upon the fabric being raised. I obviate these defects as
follows:-
Fig. 2 is a section of Fig. 1.
A is the carding cylinder upon shaft B, which is in suitable bearings in the sliding
carriages C, which slido horizontally backwards and forwards upon the frames D of
the machine.
F is the spiral brush for cleaning or clearing the spiral card cylinder A, this brush
is adjustable in its bearing F¹, by means of the regulating screw 2 and handwheel F³,
by which means the brushes can be adjusted as they wear.
Each sliding carriage C is operated by an eccentric G, strap H and rod J from the
shaft K. Lare guide rods under or over which pass the fabrics M being raised, upon
eccentrics L'.
By means of these eccentric discs, the tension of the fabric against the raising
cylinder, can be increased or diminished by raising or lowering the rods L by means
of toothed discs L2, and catch L³.
A brake is also provided by means of rods N, N, upon the wing O toothed wheel or
disc P, catch lever R and hand wheel S, this break increases or diminishes the drag
or tension of the fabrics as they pass through the machine over the drawing
cylinder S on to the beam T.
The machine is driven by straps belts, and gearing in the ordinary manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. Giving a steady reciprocating motion to the slides, raising cylinder, and brush,
substantially as shown and described.
2. The adjustable brush in combination with the cylinder and slides, substantially
as shown and described.
3. The brake for regulating the tension of the cloth as it passes through the machine,

Improvements in Pen Holders.
I, FERDINAND KNADE of Oberschlesischen Bahnhof 31, Breslau, in the Kingdom
of Prussia and German Empire, Watchmaker, 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 improvements in penholders and it consists in the
provision at the end of the holder carrying the nib of a protecting cylinder
or sleeve for preventing soiling of the fingers with ink which may be taken.
up on the the holder in the act of dipping the nib into the ink bottle.
The Invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings, whereon figure 1 shews
the position of the protecting cylinder or sleeve when in the act of writing. Figure 2
shews the position of the sleeve when in the act of dipping the pen into the
ink. Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the penholder and sleeve as constructed
under the Invention. Figure 4 is an elevation looking from the nib end. Figure 5
is a cross section on the line A, A figure 2, and figure 6 is a like section on the
line B, B figure 3.
a is the protective cylinder or sleeve which is placed upon a hollow or tubular
part constituting the lower end of the penholder f the said part being provided
with catches or slips to hold the nib in the usual manner. A spiral spring c is con-
tained within the part which part has a longitudinal slot g through which a pin or
stud d fixed in the cylinder or sleeve a passes so as to be capable of acting upon
the spring to compress it as shewn at figure 2 and at its forward or lower end the
cylinder or sleeve a has a collar or rim e which prevents the fingers of the writer
from sliding on to the tubular part b.
When the nib is to be dipped into the ink the cylinder a is drawn back and com-
presses the spring against the solid end of the holder f the cylinder being allowed
to slip forward again into the position shewn in figure 1 when the ink has been taken
up. Thus should the tubular part 6 of the holder be soiled in dipping into the ink
bottle the fingers of the writer are prevented from coming in contact with the ink so
taken up, by the covering or protecting sleeve a.

Improvements in the Process of Manufacturing Articles from Pulp.
I, DAVID HISLOP FERGUSON of the City of Montreal, in the District of Montreal,
Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 a process for treating pulp to produce articles such as are
usually made from wood, plaster, vulcanized rubber, sheet metal &c., among which
articles may be mentioned pails, tubs, picture frames, decorative work, backs of toilet
brushes and the like.
Heretofore in the manufacture of articles from fluid pulp it has been customary to
form the article and dress it, then to saturate it with the binding material and after-
wards to subject it to heat, and finally to finish it. This process is slow and expensive,
and fails to produce articles which are thoroughly indurated.
In the manufacture of another class of articles the pulp in a plastic condition is
mixed with a binding of waterproofing material, and then moulded into form by
heavy pressure. In this process no advantage is taken of the fibrous nature of the
pulp to produce that matting or felting of the fibres which is essential to strength
and durability.
This felting or matting of the fibres can only be secured by treating the pulp when
it is in a fluid condition, containing a large proportion of water.
When the pulp is
in a thickened plastic condition no felting or matting of the fibres takes place.
My invention relates to the manufacture of pulp articles in such manner that the
fibres are caused to form a matted mass.
For this purpose, I first bring the pulp to a fluid consistence, and in this condition
I mix with it pulverized colophony, asphalt, or material of a like nature, in pro-
portions varying according to the nature and character of the articles to be produced.
From this mixed mass the article is formed in a suitable mould provided with ample
means of drainage, so that the felting or matting of the fibres is fully secured. The
article thus formed is first dried and then subjected to heat sufficient to fuse the
binding material which becomes absorbed by the pulp. While the article is still
hot, it is subjected to finishing and smoothing pressure in a cold press mould whereby
the mass is consolidated and the pliant and adhesive fibres are caused to cohere.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The herein described process of manufacturing articles from pulp, consisting in
reducing the pulp to a fluid condition, mixing with it a binding substance, moulding
the articles in draining moulds, drying, heating and finishing them in a cold press
mould.

An Improved Spring Hook.
We ALFRED NICHOLLS of 9 Bread Street Manchester in the County of Lancaster,
Manufacturer and William DickiNSON TAYLOR of 64 Peveril Street Nottingham in
the County of Nottingham Mechanic do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention consists of an improved spring hook or fastening to be used with
an ordinary eye; it is designed principally for ladies garments but applicable also for
other similar purposes.
The hook is made with a spring tongue so that it cannot become accidentally
unfastened, the said spring tongue must always be pressed down before the eye can be
released.
The principal novelty of the invention consists in the peculiar construction of the
hook and the spring tongue from one and the same piece of metal wire.
The nature of our said invention will be readily understood on reference to the
sheet of drawings hereunto annexed and which are made to an enlarged scale so as
to illustrate the invention more clearly.
According to our invention a piece of wire of suitable length is doubled together
in the centre, so that the two halves lie parallel and close together and on each
half thereof about one third from the end an eye a is formed by making an outward
loop or curl in the wire as shown at Fig. 1. on the annexed drawing.
The ends of the wire beyond these eyes are then bent upwards and backwards to
form a spring tongue as shown at Fig. 2 and the looped part c at the opposite end is
then turned upwards and backwards as shown at Fig. 3. so as to form a hook which
lies over and presses against the end 6 of the tongue which springs upwards against
it and thus closes the hook.
b
The two extreme points of the wire forming the tongue are bent downwards to
facilitate the passage of the eye into and out of the hook.
These two ends may be connected together, by solder if preferred.
The improved hook may be made of spring tempered steel or other wire, or it may
be made of soft metal wire and tempered afterwards. Fig. 4 is a face view of the
hook when completed.
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
The construction of an improved spring hook for ladies garments and other
purposes from a single piece of wire substantially in the manner hereinbefore
particularly described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.

An Improved Process for Manufacturing Iridescent Blown, Rolled, or
Pressed Window Glass.
I, FRANZ EMIL GROSSE, of No. 18 Schiffbauerdamm, in the City of Berlin, in th
German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 a process for manufacturing iridescent blown, rolled or
pressed window glass. Powdered clay, fine saw dust or other suitable pulverised
neutral mass is intimately saturated with the solution of one of the haloid salts
preferably pink salt. After the thick pulpy mass has been dried at a slight heat the
same is again finely pulverised.
By means of an iron sifting device the powder so produced is uniformly sifted
onto the sheets of blown window glass to, be irisated after the sheet has been
smoothed in the spreading oven or in the annealing kiln; or the glass is enveloped in
the powder and is retained in the annealing kiln for evaporating the salts in the
powder. After the evaporation of the salts the sheets of glass with or without the
powder are passed through the spreading furnace or annealing kiln. For rolled glass
the glass plates are dusted with the powder on the casting table or in the annealing
furnace.
Pressed glass is enveloped in or dusted with the powder after the piece of glass has
been removed from the mold or in the annealing furnace.
The dusting or envelopement of the glass can also be effected by pink salt alone
and without a pulverised neutral material.
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 process for producing iridescent blown and rolled window glass, consisting
therein, that immediately after laying down the roller and smoothing out the sheet of
glass in the stretching or annealing furnace the same is powdered or enveloped with
a mixture of pink salt and a fine neutral powder or with the pink salt alone,
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
