Improvements in Cycles.
1, EDWARD GEE, of Newbridge, County Kildare, 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 is illustrated in Figures 1 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings,
from which it will be seen that the pedals P have an elliptical, instead of circular
travel, being attached to connecting rods R of eccentrics E mounted on bracket B.
The cranks C are slotted toward their outer ends to allow the spindles attaching
pedals to connecting rods to pass through them and move to and fro in such slots at
each revolution.
The position of chain wheel is shewn at W.
The throw of the pedals reaches its maximum limit when the crank has moved
upward to the position shewn in Figure 2, and its minimum limit when the crank
arrives at position shewn in Figure 1.
By this means the necessary expenditure of energy may be to a certain extent
reduced without diminishing the efficiency of the machine.
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 :-

I WILLIAM ALFRED EDWARD CROMBIE of 14 Sherborne Lane London E.C.
Consulting Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved sign for commercial advertising to be used
either on windows or for hanging up.
For windows, I place upon celluloid any required design by means of direct
printing or otherwise & by suitable means I raise or depress certain parts of the
design, such as letters, trade marks or any part to which prominence is to be given
& I produce different effects by using various colours of celluloid of greater or less
transparency. It is then affixed to the window.
For hanging signs, I put by printing or other suitable means on the back of
transparent celluloid of any colour, any required design & then as in the previous
case by suitable means I raise up any portion of the design to which prominence is
to be given. I then mount the whole onto a suitable board & frame or otherwise
treat it to produce a finished tablet, but not a transparency.
By these means I produce tablets which are durable unbreakable & waterproof.

Improvements in Ball Valves.
I, OSCAR ELPHICK, of Lambeth Sanitary Engineering Works, Albert
Embankmeut, in the County of Surrey, Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the-
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The stem or plunger of the valve is slotted to receive the wedge shaped end of
the spindle to which the rod carrying the ball or float is fixed. As the ball rises
or falls the wedge is turned through a small angle thereby giving a longitudinal
motion to the stem or plunger and opening or closing the valve.
In order to prevent cutting the spindle as well as turning in its bush is given a
longitudinal motion in it :-for this purpose the bush has an inclined slot formed in
it to receive a pin on the spindle or the same result can be attained by having
a quick threaded screw on the spindle working in a corresponding screw in the
bush.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Syringes or like Surgical Instruments.
We, AUGUST EVENS and MAX VINZELBERG, of Cassel, in the Grand Duchy of
Hesse, in the Empire of Germany, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of syringe or like surgical
instrument, and it consists essentially in attaching the caps which close the ends of
the cylinder by means of a spring fastening, so that the said caps can be readily
detached from the cylinder either for the purpose of introducing the liquid into the
cylinder or for the purpose of cleansing the cylinder.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates our invention;
Figure 1 is a view in section, and
Figures 2 and 3 are views showing the spring connections.
The
Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
Referring to the drawings the tube or cylinder A-which may be of glass or other
suitable material-is closed at both ends by caps C and C¹, the cap C forming the
ejection nozzle and the cap C¹ being provided with a central hole for the passage of
the piston rod D which carries a piston D' constructed in the usual manner.
piston rod D is provided with a suitable head such as d. The cap C¹ has an
internal recess c to receive the piston D when it is drawn back. The cap C¹ is.
connected with the cap C by means of two or more springs B, the ends of which are
provided with hooks by which they are attached to buttons on the said caps,
thereby providing a ready means of disconnecting them.
We do not limit ourselves to the use of the particular type of spring shown, as
any other convenient form may be used.
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:-

Improvement in Metal Laths
We WILLIAM ECHSTFIN and JoиN ALFRED WILLMORE of 187, 189, 191
and 193 Union Street Borough in the County of London, 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
-
Our invention relates to metallic lathing for ceilings partitions roofs and floors
having means such as keys loops or spurs for causing the plaster when applied
thereto to be interlocked with such lathing, various forms of plaster engaging
devices have been used and the present invention has for its object to improve and
make more efficient such plaster engaging devices and to increase the rigidity of
the lath
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we append hereto a
drawing on which we have fully illustrated the nature of the said improvement
Figure 1 is a section across the corrugated sheet of metal on the line Y Z before
the loops are formed
Figure 2 is a section of the finished lath on the line 1 Z
Figure 3 is a plan of a portion of the finished lath
Figure 4 is a section of the finished lath on the line W X
Figure 5 is a section of the finished lath on the line
U
In carrying our invention into effect we use steel or other metal sheets of
convenient size, the sheets are first formed into the suction shown in Figure 1 by
passing them through shaped rollers, thus giving the sheet great longitudinal
rigidity
The sheets are then passed through a second pair of shaped rollers which while
preserving the trough shaped corrugations already given to the sheet form in it a
series of loops of trapezoidal form on plan, these loops are arranged as shown in
plan Figure 3, the loops C, C on the portions A A, of the lath are formed below
the sheet while the loops E, E, on the alternate portions B, B of the lath are
formed upwards so that the total thickness of the finished lath does not extend or
only slightly extends beyond lines drawn through A A & B B and the lath is the
same on both sides
The loops are also placed in double rows with their short sides towards one
another but so that the short side of one loop comes opposite the space between the
short sides of the loops in the next row-thus alteinating and breaking up the
surface so that there is a minimum area of lath without an aperture through which
the plaster chinches while the shape of the loops is taper or ti pezoidal by which
means better shelves or rests are provided so that the plaster is not cut through by
its own weight as in parallel loops and a minimum of plaster is required
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 sheet metal lath herein described with flat or trough shaped corrugations

page_text: combined with trapezoidal loops arranged in the troughs of the corrugations as
shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 substantially as and for the purpose herein

Improvements in Breech Loading Bolt Guns for Deflecting Escaped
Gases of Explosion from the Breech End thereof.
I, PAUL MAUSER, of Oberndorf on the Neckar in the Kingdom of Württemberg
and Empire of Germany, 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:-
With special reference to the tearing of cartridge cases which now and then
occurs in the newly introduced military arms and the inconvenience resulting there-
from to the arm and to the person using the same, it is intended by the present
invention to guide the gases of explosion escaping from a torn cartridge so as to
lead them from the breech in a direction to remove as much as possible their
injurious effects on the arm and the person using the same.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. I is a
side elevation and Fig. 2 is a cross section drawn on the line II of Fig. 1
representing parts of a breech loading bolt gun.
The arrangement adopted for this purpose is, as will be seen from the accom-
panying drawings both ingenious and simple and consists mainly and entirely in
cutting away a portion of the wall of the breech chamber A at its rear end through
the existing nipple groove a thus making communication with the atmosphere
through the space 6 thus formed so that the gases rushing backwards in the
groove a do not enter the interior of the lock as heretofore but can escape freely
sideways.
The importance of this will best be demonstrated in connection with long ranges
or where shooting at a great elevation is necessary. If under these circumstances
the cartridge-case should become torn the usual gas protector at the rear end of
the breech is unable to protect the person using the weapon from the escaping
gases which thus form a great danger to him unless they are conducted by means
of my present arrangement into the air and deflected sideways in a manner to
remove all danger.
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. In breech loading bolt guns the provision of an opening in the wall of the
breech chamber A at the rear end of the left hand nipple groove a through which
the escaping gases in the latter groove are allowed to escape substantially as herein
shown and described.
2. In breech loading bolt guns the provision substantially as herein shown and
described of a free passage for the gases of explosion from a torn cartridge so as
to prevent injury to the weapon and to the person using the same.

An Improvement in Secondary Voltaic Batteries.
We, THE CHLORIDE ELECTRICAL STORAGE SYNDICATE LIMITED, of
Clifton Junction near Manchester, and GEORGE ANNESLEY GRINDLE of
Addiscombe, Prestwich, in the County of Lancaster, Electrical 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 :-
In the Specification No. 1229 of 1893 is described an arrangement in which each
positive plate of a secondary voltaic battery baving a number of holes charged
with active material, is covered on both sides with acid proof fabric and is.
separated from the negative plates on each side of it by distance pieces, which
have holes corresponding to those in the plate and have vertical channels for
passage of the exciting liquid from hole to hole.
Our invention relates to a more simple and effective construction of such
distance pieces, as we shall explain referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a part front view, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of a distance piece.
according to the present invention, intended to take the place of the distance piece
marked c in the drawings annexed to the Specification above referred to.
C
The distance piece c is a plate made of ebonite or such like material with holes c¹
through it corresponding with the holes of the battery plates. It has a marginal
rib r at each side and between the holes are short longitudinal ribs r¹ projecting
the same distance from the face of the plate as the marginal rib r.
r
When the plate is placed between two battery plates closely pressed against it,
the ribs and keep the flat surface on one side away from the adjacent battery
plate, so that there is free passage for the exciting liquid between the ribs from
hole to hole.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A distance or separating plate for a secondary voltaic battery having holes
through it and ribs upon it, substantially as described.

A New or Improved Sash Fastener.
I, WILLIAM SMITH of 26, Linden Road Dewsbury Road, Leeds, Traveller,.
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 an improved construction of sash fastener, and has for
its object to provide a simple device which will prevent the window being forced
open from the outside.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a fastener of the ordinary description,
having a locking arm pivoted to the meeting rail of the upper sash and adapted to
be turned over the other meeting rail. On the latter a receiving plate is fixed by
screws or other suitable means, under which the arm is passed. This arm can be
easily turned back in the ordinary fasteners by the insertion of an instrument
between the two meeting rails. To prevent this I secure a small pivoted catch
which when released drops below the retaining plate. When the arm is turned
into locking position, it raises this catch and on passing it allows it to
drop. The arm is thus prevented from being moved back until the catch is
raised, which is done by pressing a small finger piece or extension, or by other
simple means.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of the device,
and Fig. 2 is a plan.
A is the ordinary locking arm, pivoted to the base plate a which is secured in
the ordinary manner to the meeting rail B. On the other meeting rail B' the
receiving plate C is fixed under which the locking arm is passed. To the end of
this plate the catch D is pivoted, consisting of a small arm which can be dropped
on to the base plate, thus securing the locking arm in position. This arm D
is furnished with the extension d at top, by means of which it can be raised when
the fastener is to be opened.
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.) An improved sash fastener consisting of a locking arm and retaining plate,
and catch, pivoted to the latter, allowing the locking arm to be turned into closed
position, but preventing its withdrawal, substantially as described and for the
purposes specified.
(2.) The improved sash fastener, having a locking arm, a retaining plate and
catch secured to the latter, constructed substantially as described and shown in the
accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in the Saddle-bars of Oyoles.
We, GEORGE GILBERT, and EDWARD MUSHING, both Directors of The
Centaur Cycle Co. Ltd., of West Orchard Works, Coventry, in the County of
Warwick Cycle Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention has for its object improvements in the saddle bars of cycles by
which we obtain greater compactness and neatness besides avoiding any unsightly
and inconvenient projection.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which
we have illustrated an example of our invention which will enable any person
conversant with the subject to adopt the same to any existing conditions.
Figure 1., is a side elevation of the saddle post P and the saddle bar post A and
saddle bar B in its back position.
Figure 2., is a similar elevation to Figure 1 but with the saddle bar B in its
forward position.
Figure 3., is a section on the line 1-2, of Figure 1.
Figure 4., is a side elevation of the saddle bar B withdrawn from the socket a².
Figure 5., is a cross section on line 3-4 Figure 1.
It will be observed from the elevations shown by both Figures 1 and 2, that the
saddle bar B can only project on one side of the post P as in Figure 1 it is in its
forward position for carrying the saddle and in Figure 2 it is in its back position.
The possibility of this change-to avoid the bar B projecting on both sides which
is now generally the custom-is effected by making the bar B loose from the socket a¹
of A. To accomplish this B is made in the form shown at Fig. 4 with the neck b¹
capable of entering the socket a¹ from either end as shown changed by the two
first figures. The sections 3 and 5 show the construction :-The neck 6 carries a
hole and internal screw thread 6* into which the screw plug 6 fits with its outer
nut 6 for a spanner as well as the guiding collar 67. The neck b¹ carries a pin or
projection 6 which enters the groove a³ to prevent it turning. The socket a¹ of A
is shown with its shoulders a' and a square with the bar B which is preferable
though they may be diagonal with similar though not the same effect.
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 improvements in the saddle bars of cycles consisting of the reversible
bar B with its accompanying parts substantially as and for the purpose herein set
forth and as shown upon the drawings by Figures 1 to 5 inclusive.

thereby greatly increasing the illuminating power of the lamp mostly in the
direction of the longitudinal axis of the lamp.
In order to give a practical example it may be pointed out that what are
called 16 candle power lamps only give about 16 candles in directions perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal axis of the lamps, but do not give more than about
9 candles in the direction of such longitudinal axis of the lamps. With the flat
mirror placed in the interior of the glass, a 16 candle power lamp will give
16 candles and even more in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and therefore
forms a very efficient lamp. This improvement could not be obtained by concaved
or convexed mirrors (except by the parabolic mirror which is very difficult to
make in practice) which do not produce a uniform reflection.
It may be noted that this increase of illuminating power is obtained without
correspondingly increasing the electric energy, and without diminishing the life
of the malt therefore possesses very practical advantages.
In the accompanying drawings Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a plan view and
vertical elevation showing the manner in which the mirror is mounted in the
interior of the glass, a being the mirror through which pass the wires or leads con-
ducting the electric current to the carbon filament. The mirror may be retained
in position by small nuts which bind it between them as shown in the drawing,
or other equivalent means may be employed for the purpose.
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 in the interior of incandescent lamps of a flat mirror which
reflects the light from the incandescent filament, with the object of increasing the
illuminating power of such lamps, the mirror being fixed in position either by the
means above described and shown in the accompanying drawing, or by any other
equivalent means, substantially as specified.

I FRANK CLEWLOW, of 30 Friars Street, Stafford, in the County of Stafford,
late Foreman in Shoe Manufactory now Warehouse Foreman, 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 a metal spring to be placed inside a boot or shoe after
it is taken off the last or, if the shoe is in wear, after it is taken off the foot in
order to retain it in its original shape.
The spring is made to press against the toe and heel and is so shaped as to
preserve the form of the instep and to raise up and tighten the quarters and is
embossed or rounded where it bears upon the upper.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1. is a plan view of a spring and
Figs. 2. 3. 4. 5. are sections taken in different parts of its length.
Fig. 6. is a section of a shoe with a spring in position therein.
Fig. 7. is an elevation of the spring when removed from the shoe.
:-
The spring is of the form shewn in Figs. 1 and 7 and is inserted in the shoe a
with its end 6 bearing in the toe a¹ of the shoe as shewn. The portion 61 of the
spring is curved to suit the instep a² of the shoe and rounded as shewn in section
Fig. 3. The portion of the spring is straight when at liberty and is sprung
down in the shoe a until the end bears against the back a³ of the shoe a as shewn.
The effort of the spring to straighten itself keeps up the instep a² and tightens
the quarters a* of the shoe a.

I, CHARLES BEAUMONT ANTRAM, of 54 Elgin Road. Addiscombe, Croydon,
Merchant's Assistant, 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 improvements relate to a toy of drum like character which is constructed
by joining at their smaller ends two truncated cones of sheet metal or other
suitable material. The point at which they are thus connected I shall call the
waist " of the toy. Over each of the laige ends of the two joined truncated
cones I stretch, in any suitable manner, parchment or the like, to form drum heads.
I also attach a flexible string or cord, to each end of the diameter of the waist of
the toy, each cord or the like having a knob at its free end. The length of the
cord should be sufficient to admit of the knob touching the parchment heads.
The toy is operated by grasping it in the hand by the waist aud moving it with
a locking motion of the laud, whereby the kuobs are made alternately to strike
the parchment heads of the toy.
In order to more clearly indicate the nature of my invention, I make reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which,
Fig. 1 18 n side view, Fig 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 a view showing how the toy is
operated.
a and a' are the two truncated coues joined at their smaller ends b. c c are the
parchment heads, d d the flexible cords attached at the ends e and e¹ to the waist
of the toy, and having knobs ff, at the free ends. In Fig. 3 the dotted and
full lines sbow the two positions taken by the toy when moved from right to left
in operating it. The movement causes the knobs to alternately strike the drum
heads as shown.
I do not confine myself to the precise dimensions, relative proportions or other
details, as shown in the drawings, as any or all of them may be varied without
departing from the spuit of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same 18 to be performed, I declare that what I
claim 18-
The combination of parts together forming a drum like toy, substantially as
described in the above Specification, and exemplified in the accompanying
drawings.

We EMMA GRIMES of Knapton Hall, North Walsham, Norfolk, Gentlewoman
and EDWARD EDWARDS MONTFORD of Swanton Abbot Rectory, Norwich,
Clerk in Holy Orders do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A bodkin formed with an eye is liable to become disconnected from the tape that
is threaded through it before it can be entirely passed through a hem.
The object of our invention is so to construct a bodkin as to obviate this
disadvantage.
The bodkin we design for this purpose, which we call a pin bodkin, we form
with a spring hook, in place of the eye ordinarily used, the point of which hook
by its spring action is securely retained in a notch in the bodkin so that it cannot
catch in any hem through which the bodkin is run; yet the point may be raised
sufficiently to be passed like a pin through the tape which will thus be securely
connected with the bodkin.

An Improved Bodkin.
We EMMA GRIMES, Gentlewoman of Knapton Hall, North Walsham, and
EDWARD EDWARDS MONTFORD, Clerk in Holy Orders of Swanton Abbot
Rectory, near Norwich 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 bodkin formed with an eye is liable to become disconnected from the tape
that is threaded through it before it can be entirely passed through a hem.
The object of our invention is so to construct a bodkin as to obviate this
disadvantage.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figures 1 and 2 are side and front views.
of the improved bodkin.
In the piece of wire of which we make the bodkin we form a notch or channel A
in Figs. 1 and 2 preferably in a longitudinal direction and one end of the wire we
taper to a sharp point B and bend over at C thus forming a spring hook the
point B of which lies in the notch or channel A. and is securely retained there by
the spring action of the metal, so that it cannot catch in any hem through which
the bodkin is run.
The method of threading the bodkin is as follows:-We put through the
opening D of the hook the end of a piece of tape, ribbon or the like and draw it
beneath the point B as T in Fig. 3. We then pull it back piercing it with the
point B and so attach it to the hook as T in Fig. 4, by which it will be securely
held fast while being passed through a hem.
The other end E of the bodkin may be of the ordinary form,

page_text: 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 bodkin having a hook in place of the ordinary eye, the sharp point of which
hook by the spring action of the metal is normally retained in a notch or 5
channel in the shaft of the bodkin as and for the purpose herein described.
