COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Wheels, Pulleys, and similar Rotating Bodies.
1, HUBERT CLAUS, Managing Director of The Thale Ironworks, Limited,
Thale in the Harz, in the 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:-
This invention relates to wheels, pulleys and similar rotating bodies, and has for
its object to make such bodies of increased clasticity and durability, and of less
weight and cost than heretofore.
The said invention consists in connecting the hub with the rim or felloe by an
clastic corrugated sheet-metal, preferably steel, web.
In the accompanying drawing there is shown in central section a wheel con-
structed according to this invention. A is the hub B is the rim or felloe; C is a
thin elastic metal plate preferably steel connecting the hub and rim or felloe and
forming the web of the wheel. The said plate C is of corrugated, wavy or
undulatory formation and is consequently very elastic. When making wheels or
pulleys according to this invention with corrugated webs and cast hubs and rims,
the said thin corrugated steel plate C is placed in the mould in the proper position
and the rim and hub are then cast thereon in place in a well known manner.
Wheels, pulleys and the like constructed according to this invention have many
advantages over such articles as heretofore made. For instance they are much
lighter for equal strength, more elastic or spring like, more durable and cheaper.
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 1
claim is
A wheel, pulley or the like constructed with a corrugated thin metal, preferably
steel, web joining the hub and rim, the said hub and rim being cast to the metal
plate, substantially as, and for the purpose, specified.

A Means for Advertising at Night or in Dark Places from a
Moving Object.
We, GUSTAF DILLBERG of Womerah Avenue, Darlinghurst, Sydney in the
Colony of New South Wales, Electrician, and ERNEST JOHN GREENSTREET of
24 Bond Street, Sydney in the aforesaid Colony, Architect, 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 utilize for advertising purposes, an artificial
light in combination with suitable reflectors and lenses, by means of which inscrip-
tions, images &c. may be reflected at night on surrounding objects, such combina-
tion being supported on or by a moving conveyance, such as a railway carriage,
tram car, steamer, vessel, boat, or other medium for locomotion, thus causing the
reflected advertisement to travel alongside the moving body, at a speed correspond-
ing with that of the vehicle.
To accomplish this object, we employ a combination of a reflector or reflectors,
lenses, artificial light, and a plate or disc, on or in which the inscription or image
to be advertised is located, in a manner similar to that of a magic lantern.
To obtain the best result, it is necessary to arrange the reflecting mediums in
such a manner, as to use the maximum of light available, such as on the Holophotal
or Catadioptric principles.
In front of the reflector or reflectors we place the artificial light, in front of the
light we place a condensing lens, near which we place the disc or plate on or in
which the inscription or image to be advertised is made, which inscription or image
may be either transparent on opaque ground or rice versa, thus showing the
advertisement, light on a dark ground or dark on a light ground. By aid of the
reflected light behind the inscription or image, the latter is reflected on to some
outside object, either direct or through some suitable lens or lenses.
We wish it understood that we do not claim the combination of artificial light
with reflectors, lenses &c. as a novelty.
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
laim is:
The method of advertising at night or in dark places, from a moving conveyance,
on surrounding objects, by means of reflection from an artificial light, substantially
as described and for the purpose and in the manner as herein set forth.

Improvements in Carriage Lace, Upholstery, Gimps, and General
Trimmings.
I, ANDREW ALEXANDER BROWN of 28 to 34 Albert Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in carriage lace, upholstry, gimps
and general trimmings and which also applies to perambulator lace railway carriage
laces and military and other braids by which such braids or laces are so stiffened as
to give them a firmness when being handled or sewn on and by which the braid is
caused to remain in any shape it may be bent into instead of springing into a
length as hitherto. Further my improvement cheapens the cost of the lace as with
the assistance of the stiffening warps the lace may be manufactured much more
lightly than hitherto while the introduction of the stiffening warp or warps does not
in any way increase the cost of manufacture.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have fully
illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1, is a front view of a short piece of perambulator lace.
Figure 2, is a view of a length of braid B bent into. an ornamental shape ready
for being sewn on to the material.
Figure 3, is a front view of a short length of carriage lace.
In carrying my invention into effect and referring to Figure 1 I form the lace
such as A or C with two stiffening wires a' and a which run longitudinally along
the braid at each edge in place of the warps which have hitherto formed the edges.
These wire warps a¹ and a² are covered by the wefts so that they do not in any way
shew when the face or braid is in its finished state. Of course I may only have the
one metallic warp a' on the one edge or the metallic warp may run along the centre
The metallic warp
of the braid as shewn by the part broken away in Figure 2.
being of a pliable nature the braid gimp or lace may be bent into any form either
curved or at an angle or into such a form as illustrated by Figure 2 and will
remain in the position left thus being much easier to sew or fix on the material.
Of course my invention is applicable to laces braids and gimps of any width or
design & I may have more than two metallic warps if I so desire.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is
The improvements in carriage lace upholstry gimps and general trimmings by
which such lace gimp or braid is stiffened by metallic warps which are hidden by
the wefts substantially as & for the purpose herein set forth & shewn upon the
accompanying drawing.

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:-
My invention relates to an improved game.
In carrying out my invention I employ a box having a series of openings around
it, which box is advantageously in the form of a tower or other building, the
windows of which form the openings referred to. Inside the tower I place a bell.
The game is to cause counters or the like to fly through the openings or windows
and to strike the bell, the impulse being preferably imparted to such counters by
nipping them with another counter or other instrument held in the hand. My
invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing
which represents my box in the form of a church tower, the box being shewn in
such a position that the counters flying through the window-openings will strike
the bell.
I may, if desired, employ other openings below the set shewn, for instance,
openings representing doors; the value of the stroke depending upon whether the
flying counter passes through the upper set of openings so as to strike the bell or
through the lower set of openings.
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 improved game hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying.
drawing.
2. The manufacture and use, for playing the hereinbefore described improved
game, of a box having openings in its sides and a bell suspended from the lid or top
thereof in such a manner that counters can be caused to fly through the said openings.

The following sets forth the nature of the invention demonstrating its use :-
It consists of a leather band with buckle fastener to be worn upon the left wrist
when playing the game of billiards or bagatelle, upon the top side of which is a
receptacle for holding the chalk, so that the said chalk is always in a convenient
position for usc. The actual nature of the novelty of the idea consists in the fact
that the position of the chalk is, by virtue of its being always held by the wristlet,
constantly on the left wrist, and thereby within most convenient distance from the
tip of the cuc. No approach to this idea for the position of the chalk has been
before brought forward.

A Wristlet for Carrying Billiard Chalk.
EDWARD HENRY RICHES 9, Dormer Place, Leamington, present address,
Gentleman, does 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 wristlet for carrying the billiard chalk consists of a band of leather which
fastens round the left wrist by means of an ordinary buckle, which band of leather
is of narrower width towards each of its ends, and gradually assumes towards its
centre a width of one inch and a half and upon this broadest part is sewn on to the
leather band which goes round the wrist a three corner shaped pocket for holding
the chalk. Two sides of this pocket are sewn down to the leather band, while the
other side forms the necessary aperture to slip the chalk in. The shape of this
pocket is similar to what the toe of a boot would be if the end were pointed to an
angle instead of rounded. The aperture of the pocket when the wristlet is on the
wrist is nearer to the thumb-side than the other end of the pocket, and the position
of the pocket when sewn on to the leather band is slightly out of the right-angled
position with respect to the band, in order that when the wristlet is round the wrist
there is a certain drag of the pocket which gives the necessary grip upon the chalk
within it which prevents it falling out.
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:
I. That the original novelty of this wristlet for carrying billiard chalk, consists
in the fact that the chalk may be carried by means of this wristlet when playing.
II. That the pocket for holding the chalk is cut in the particular way above
described, and sewn on to the band at a certain necessary angle to secure holding
power of the chalk.

I ALFRED MONK COLE, No. 2 Sydenhamn, Wellington Road, Cork, Tea
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, which relates to the construction of tobacco pipes, has for its
object to prevent nicotine, tobacco juice, and small particles of tobacco from the
bowl, from reaching the mouth of the smoker, and incidentally to cool the smoke
on its way to the mouth piece.
In carrying out my invention, I construct a pipe with two bowls or cavities, after
the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation, and
Fig. 2 a plan view, of a pipe embodying my invention.
The larger bowl or cavity A is intended to contain the tobacco to be smoked
in the ordinary way. B is a smaller bowl, closed by a plug or screw b. The smoke
from the bowl A passes to the bowl B by the passage a, which by preference is
bored on an incline, as shewn at Fig. 1, so that the smoke is drawn from the bottom
of the bowl A, and delivered into the upper part of the bowl B. The mouth piece C
communicates with the bowl B preferably by means of a perforation e bored in the
upper part of the bowl B, as illustrated, but the said mouth piece may be somewhat
differently arranged, if desired, with regard to the bowl B. The latter, however,
will in all cases act as a trap or receptacle to catch all accumulations, either solid
or liquid, in the pipe, and prevent the nicotine &c. from passing with the smoke to
the smoker's mouth.
The bowl B may be opened by removing, from time to time, the cover, and
cleaned out 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 I
claim is:-
An improved tobacco pipe constructed as herein shewn and described, wherein
there are two bowls or cavities communicating one with the other, one to contain
tobacco to be smoked, the other, which is provided with a cover, to form a trap or

Improvements in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes, particularly
applicable for Athletic Purposes, Football, and the like.
We CHARLES LEWIS and EDWARD LEWIS both of Chalk Lane Northampton
in the County of Northampton Boot and Shoe Manufacturers 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 our invention is to produce a boot or shoe for athletic use and
particularly applicable for football, so made and arranged as to enable the player
under either Rugby or Association Football Rules to place the ball in any required
position and to send the ball to any desired spot either sideways or in a straight
course and which will also afford such boots or shoes so manufactured elasticity,
strength, lightness and durability.
In carrying out our invention we first attach the usual inner sole to the upper.
We then take a properly prepared welt and outer sole, so arranged cut and shaped
that the edge or width of welt which projects beyond the upper can be made
almost perfectly straight from the waist to the toe, on both sides of the boots
or shoes.
The centre of the toe part is also so shaped and cut that it becomes slightly
hollowed out which enables that part to receive a football. The welt and outer
sole so cut and shaped as aforesaid are then attached to the upper and innersole in
any well known manner.
It will be seen by our invention that in football boots and shoes, the sides being
almost straight from the waist to the toe part, and the toe part being so shaped and
cut as to be hollowed out, that the player either under Rugby or Association Rules,
is enabled to move or kick the ball to any desired spot, either sideways or in a
straight course, which has hitherto been impossible with the present style of football
boots and shoes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we hereby declare that
what we claim is
The manufacture of boots and shoes with welts and outer soles so cut shaped and
formed substantially as hereinbefore described.

Concrete Mixing Machine.
I, ERNEST LESLIE RANSOME, of Oakland, County of Alameda, State of
California, U.S.A. Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a machine for mixing the materials employed in making
concrete.
It consists of a series of chambers containing the materials and having adjustable
gates through which the material is proportionally delivered upon a moving
traveller which in turn delivers it to a mixing mill.
Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my
invention:-
Figure 1 is a transverse section of the apparatus.
Figure 2 is a plan view.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the same.
The object of this invention is to perfect the automatic proportioning of the
material. This object is attained by a mechanism consisting of a series of
chambers A into which the various materials are delivered.
These chambers are situated above a traveller B and are provided with gates C
having suitable attachments by which they may be opened or closed at will.
In the present case I have shown the traveller having one end fulcrumed and the
other supported upon rollers and it may be oscillated from side to side by any
suitable mechanism.
The containing chambers A are preferably made with inclined sides converging
toward the bottom and the gates are adapted to move up and down along these
sides.
These gates may be placed upon one or both sides of the chambers and the
traveller, moving athwart the row of chambers, delivers the material over the
exterior edges by reason of its oscillations.
The material thus rests directly upon the traveller, and the contents of each
chamber is drawn out by the movements of the traveller independent of that in the
other chambers.
The mixing mill D is situated beneath the traveller and is of such shape as shown
in Figure 1 that the material delivered into it will be brought within reach of the
blades of the mixer E.
These blades are set at an angle upon their shaft and constantly stir and
advance the material so that it is thoroughly mixed by the time it reaches the
delivery end from which it is discharged.
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 apparatus for delivering the several ingredients for concrete to a mixer in
automatically proportioned quantities, consisting of a row of containing chambers
situated above a conveyer each having an independent discharge opening and
regulating gate through which the contents of the chambers are gauged and carried

Improvements in the Manufacture of Oxalic Acid and Cellulose.
1, ELLING RYAN of Fredrikstad, in the Kingdom of Norway, Factory Manager,
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 the employment of potash alone or a mixture of potash
and soda for the simultaneous production of cellulose and oxalic acid, the one being
extracted as a by-product of the other without any renewed calcining and corroding
of the alkalies.
In carrying out my invention I take an 8 to 10 per cent. (or thereabouts) solu-
tion of potash alone or of a mixture of one third potash and two thirds soda and
boil therein under pressure a suitable quantity of chopped wood until cellulose is
formed. The lye, in which are many dissolved organic matters, is now strained off'
and vaporized either in closed caldrons or in open pans to a high degree of concen-
tration; it is still further concentrated in cast-iron pots and finally heated either
in flat-bottomed pots or upon plates to a temperature of about 200° Celsius. The
organic matters then become oxidized into oxalic acid and carbonic acid which
with the alkalies form the corresponding salts. In order to make the oxidation
more energetic it is advisable to add by degrees a further small quantity of pure
concentrated lye, by which means also the temperature can more easily be regulated,
as it is liable during the oxidation to become too high.
From the dry brown mass prepared as hereinbefore described oxalates or clean
oxalic acid can be recovered in the usual manner. The extracted lye is vaporized,
calcined and corroded in order to fit it for employment for another operation.
The advantage of the simultaneous production of cellulose and oxalic acid is
that the given quantity of lye can be twice employed without any renewed calcining
and corroding, the organic matters contained in the black lye being partially
oxidized to oxalic acid instead of, as is generally the case, being entirely burnt in
the so-called soda furnaces.
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 simultaneous production of oxalic acid and cellulose by boiling wood under
pressure either with potash-lye or with a mixture of potash and soda-lye; then
vaporising the resulting wood-containing black lye which is brought to the highest
degree of concentration and finally heated to about 250° Celsius whereby the
organic matters contained in the lye are oxidized into oxalic acid and carbonic
acid substantially as describe.l.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bookbinders' Cloth.
We THOMAS ASHLEY SUTTON and WILLIAM HALE SUTTON both of
5 Worsley Street Salford in the County of Lancaster Gum Starch and Chemical
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 :-
The objects of this invention are to improve the quality and appearance of
bookbinders' cloth and to make it more durable and better adapted for the purpose
for which it is intended to be used.
The invention consists principally in raising a pile or nap upon the surface of the
cloth after it has been dyed or padded with color and previously to stiffening,
glazing, or otherwise finishing the same.
If the cloth has been dyed, the pile or nap may be raised upon the face or upon
the back thereof, but if the color has been padded onto the surface of the cloth, then
the pile or rap is only raised upon the back thereof.
For the purposes of our invention we take plain or twilled calico or other suitable
plain or twilled woven fabric, and after having dyed or padded the same with the
color and shade required, and fixed and dried the same, we, by means of a raising
machine or other known method raise upon one or both sides thereof (as above
stated) a pile or nap upon the surface.
We then proceed to stiffen, glaze, calender or otherwise finish the cloth, and if
required we emboss a grain or pattern thereon in the usual manner according to the
effect desired to be produced.
By our improved process of raising a nap or pile upon the surface of the dyed or
padded cloth, and then afterwards applying the filling or other matter to the same
previously to finishing, it takes the filling much more evenly, retains it better, and
gains both in density and solidity and when calendered, embossed, or otherwise
finished afterwards its appearance, durability and " "feel are greatly improved, and
it is much superior in many respects to the bookbinders' cloth made in the ordinary
manner.
"
By this improved process also a cheaper and coarser cloth can be used than for
the process as now carried on, and a considerable economy is thereby effected.
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 improved process for manufacturing bookbinders' cloth by first dyeing or
padding the color thereon and then raising a pile or nap upon the surface or
surfaces thereof, previously to applying thereto the filling stiffening and other
matters, and glazing or otherwise finishing the same substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Unions and Pipes for Drainage
Purposes and Soil Pipes.
I, JOSEPH HENRY GREEN, of 34 Sincil Bank, Lincoln, in the County of
Lincolnshire, 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 :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in the manufacture of unions and
pipes for drainage purposes leading between water closets or sink or the like and
the soil pipe.
These unions or pipes are made in lead and are produced by a process of burning
together of the lead instead of and so as to be without seam, solder or overlap or
fold throughout their length so preventing any leakage or escape of sewer gas into
the house or building.
In the drawings annexed hereto,
Figure 1 is a side view of a junction piece made according to this invention,
a being the arm and a' the bend connected with or leading from the sink or water
closet pan. This arm a runs into the vertical union pipe piece b for the soil pipe
connecting the lengths thereof. This arm a is slightly at an incline, b' indicating
the burned joining of the two parts of the junctions.
Figure 2, is a view in section of a like junction piece. In this figure the union
at A is shewn in section.
Figure 3, is a side view of a junction according to this invention with a P trap c
between the parts a and a¹.
In making these seamless burned-closed junction pieces, I employ drawn lead
pipe of required weight or gauge cut into various lengths to suit the position to be
occupied, or to given lengths, the horizontal arm a being inserted into vertical
section 6 or body piece, thus the complete contour of the junction piece will be
formed. I then join the sectional pieces thus :-the end of horizontal piece a to
the vertical piece 6 by process of burning for making a seamless junction piece as
at 6 so effecting the joint with the vertical pipe.
This vertical pipe b is shewn in the various figures with socket piece and
astragal A. for iron or lead continuation pipe or pipes. d is a ventilation pipe
between the parts a and b to prevent the water seal being broken by syphonic
action during the discharge of contents of water closet or other waste matter.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improvements in the manufacture of seamless unions and pipes for soil pipe
and like junctions as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn in the
drawings.

Improvements in Scissors and Shears with Shearing Out.
I, REGINALD HADDAN of the firm of Herbert & Co. 18 Buckingham Street
Strand W.C. Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention a
communication to me from abroad by Hans von Hosstrup of 10 Paulstrusse
Hamburg Germany, Merchant 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 scissors and shears which are so constructed as to give
what is usually termed a shearing cut and it consists principally in causing the two
members of the scissors or shears to be held together by a connecting plate or link
as hereinafter described so that friction may be taken from the connecting pin and
the scissors or shears may be more easily produced and may not require oiling.
In the drawing hereto annexed
Fig. 1 is a view of a pair of scissors fitted with the improvement.
Fig. 2 shows the same opened for cutting.
Fig. 3 is a cross section on line
of Fig. 2.
A and B are the two scissor halves and is the screw or pivot connecting them.
This pivot is fixed in the part B and passes through a curved slot s' in the part A.
According to this invention the pin s does not slide with,friction in the said slot
but is so held by the connecting plate or link 6 pivoted at o to the part A, that the
said pivot s is kept from contact with the sides of the slots which is made of
sufficient width. The shearing cut is provided for by the subsidiary pin i taking
into the appropriately curved slot i¹.
The scissors or shears made as described do not require any great degree of
accuracy in the placing or making of the slots and the pin i as the link b
by its action compensates for any inaccuracies in this respect. The pin , is carried
by the link b which affords a broad and secure bearing which holds the parts of the
scissors firmly but without too great friction in the clamping, the scissors or shears
therefore work easily without requiring oiling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
In scissors or shears having a shearing cut, the combination of the two scissor
halves A, B guided by a pin i and slot and connected by a pin & in the one
projecting through a slot in the other half and securing thereon a link pivoted
at o on the latter half, the whole substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Electric Burglar-alarms.
We, HOMER TONG WILSON, of Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky,
Gentleman, and NATHAN SCHWAB, of Goldboro, Wayne County, North
Carolina, Merchant, both in the United States of America, 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 has relation to electric burglar-alarms; and the object is to
provide an alarm-bell of peculiar construction, a single source of energy, and an
open and a closed circuit, whereby the opening or breaking of the closed circuit
will cause the bell-armature to fall back and close the open circuit through a
vibrator-spring, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed
out in the claim.
Figure 1 is a front view of our improved burglar-alarm system, and
Figure 2 is a side view of the alarm-bell used therewith.
In the accompanying drawings the same letters of reference indicate like parts of
the invention.
A is the alarm-bell, and from the binding-post B the circuit runs through the
coils a a to the screw a¹ of the metallic base or frame b, thence from the frame at 6'
to the binding-post B₁, thence over the loop C to the screw-post c, thence over the
battery-circuit c to the battery, thence back to the binding-post B, forming a
closed circuit and holding the armature in contact with the magnet.
From the screw-post c a wire runs to a spring d, which is adjustable with
reference to bell-hammer arm d¹ by means of a thumb-screw d, and when the
armature is closed the spring d is out of contact with arm d'; but if the circuit or
loop C be broken the armature falls back and closes the circuit through the bell
hammer arm d' and makes a vibrator of the bell.
The loop is the circuit in which the connections are placed, connecting the
points to be protected, and is a normally-closed circuit, and it is obvious that any
number of contact-points may be placed in said circuit and the opening or breaking
of any one of them will cause the bell to sound an alarm and continue ringing as
long as the loop C is open.
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 combination, with the base A, provided with an alarm-bell, and coils a a,
having binding-posts BB' in direct connection therewith, of the battery-circuit c¹
and the alarm-circuit C in electrical connection with the post c, which in turn is
connected to the spring-contact arm d, adjustably secured to said base A and
having its connecting point or free end passing through a slot in said base, so
as to contact with the vibrating-armature hammer, substantially as shown and
described.
