Road Vehicles, such as Broughams, Dog Carts, Bath Chairs, and
the like.
We, JAMES IDDON, of Brookfield Iron Works, Leyland, near Preston, in the
County of Lancaster, Engineer and Machine Maker, and JAMES EDGAR BAXTER,
of the same place Manager for the Leyland Rubber Company, Limited, 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 has reference to improvements in or relating to pneumatic tyres
for the wheels of road vehicles such as broughams dog carts bath chairs and the
like and is applicable to wooden wheels of ordinary construction.
In carrying out our said invention we employ an inner inflatable air tube and an
outer covering both of the type in common use for velocipedes. We thicken the
edges of the outer covering with (preferably) a semi-circular enlargement on the
outer sides of the said covering leaving the inside flat and enclose and encircle these
thickened edges within recessed curved metal plates and fasten the edges of the
outer covering in place by compressing them between the said plates and the
sides of the wheel rim by means of screws.

plates ff may conveniently be in about six sections or lengths as shewn at Fig. 2.
By the above described arrangement the improved pneumatic tyre may be
readily attached to or detached from the wheel and when removed therefrom the
vehicle wheel is still available for use with the ordinary metal tyre b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
:-
A pneumatic tyre for the wheels of road vehicles consisting of the combination
of an inner inflatable air tube and an outer covering having thickened edges with
plate and screws for fastening the said outer covering to the sides of the wheel
rim substantially as herein described and shewn in the drawings.

Improvements in Furnaces for Steam Boilers.
I WILLY KLEIN of 52A Furtherstrasse Nurnberg in the Kingdom of Bavaria,
in the Empire of Germany, Merchant, 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:--
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of furnaces for heat-
ing steam boilers and the like the object being to effect, a saving in fuel, and a
greater heat, by thoroughly burning the gases and smoke produced by the partial
combustion of the coal or other fuel.
The invention consists of a furnace so constructed that a draught of air passes
into the furnace through different passages and disperses the smoke or unconsumed
gases and drives same between a series of heated bricks or stones whereby the
products of combustion are heated and ignited and burned.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention the following is a com-
plete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in
which,
Figure 1. is a sectional side elevation of a boiler furnace according to this
invention.
Figure 2. is a plan view of Figure 1.
According to this invention a box or chamber a with a flap doors and controlling
handle and rod r is inserted in the smoke bridge b through which is the opening c.
Behind the smoke bridge b are a series of bricks or stones e e arranged at distances
apart (see Figure 2) on the bottom d.
A current of air passes into the furnace through the grate bars as usual and
also through the passage ways C in the bridge 6 and also between the latter and
the bottom d. These currents lower the temperature of the unconsumed gases
in the first place but also disperse and carry them between the series of bricks
or stones, which themselves are heated, and in turn heat the gases to the temperature
necessary for their ignition.
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 furnace the air channels in the smoke bridge & between the latter and the
bottom d combined with the stones or bricks e as and for the purpose herein
described and substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.

HENRY CARTERET EVANS 50 Curzon Street London W., Saddler & Harness
Maker, 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 appliance consists of a stout canvas neck covering, lined partly with felt,
and made as follows:-
-
The canvas A is cut in one piece 2 ft. 6 in. long and 3 ft. 8 in. wide, the sides
shaped like an ordinary hood and the edges turned in and stitched. A piece of
stout felt B 18 in. wide and 2 ft. 6 in. long is stitched along the inside centre of
the canvas, and forms a pad on the top of the neck extending down each side about
9 in. Previously to stitching in, 2 rows of in. ventilating holes C are punched
in the felt on each side, the first rows being 3 in. from the lower edges, commencing
6 in. from the front edges and continued at spaces of 5 in. to the end. The
second row commences 2½ in. from the first and the first hole is punched 4 in.
from the front edges and continued at spaces of 5 in.
Corresponding holes are punched in the canvas, but of smaller size (about in.)
and metal eyelets are inserted to keep edges from fraying out. When the felt
is stitched to the canvas the holes come opposite each other and ventilation is
secured. Tapes D are sewn on the sides to tie under horses' necks and two at the
back to fix to roller. A light leather head stall E with noseband and front to
buckle is sewn on (by the head) to the front edge of the completed appliance and
serves to keep it in its proper position.
The object of the invention is to induce the growth of horses' manes after
having been "hogged," and train them at the same time, and also to train rough
or badly grown manes.

Improvements in the Surfaces of Walls and Ceilings to Receive
Plaster, without Laths or the like.
A communication to me from ARTHUR KNECZOWSKI, Engineer, GOTTHARD
HERRMANN, Electrician, and FRANZ MÜLLER, Painter, all of Lodz, in the
Empire of Russia.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, 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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
This invention relates to a novel method of preparing, in order to receive plaster,
the surface of ceilings and wooden walls without first fitting them with laths or the
like in the usual way, and it has for its object a method of construction by which
the objections to the ordinary methods such as the breaking and falling off of the
plaster through the sinking or warping of the laths or other ordinary foundation for
the plaster, are avoided.
In the accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the invention, Figures 1
to 3 show in section slightly different modifications of the invention.
The form of the surface for receiving the plaster, is so made that, as illustrated
in the figures, the wooden boards a which are nailed to the rafters or timbers in the
usual way, are provided with longitudinal grooves upon the surface which is to
receive the plaster, the sides of which grooves converge or approach each other to
some extent at their outer edges. The remainder or bottom of the grooves may
be of any desired or convenient shape, as shown in the figure.
This grooved
surface a of the boards is left rough, and the plaster is applied directly upon it,
and is firmly held by means of the inclined sides, or dovetailed shape of the
grooves.
By means of the novel method of construction the long and expensive process of
preparing the ceiling or walls with laths or the like is rendered unnecessary, and
the ceiling or wall is at once ready to receive the plaster, after the grooved surface
has been bailed in its place.
The layer of plaster may be very thin, and it cannot break or fall off.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The method of preparing the surface of ceilings and walls to receive plaster,
consisting in the use of longitudinally grooved boards, the grooves in which have
inclined sides so that they are dovetailed shape, so that the use of laths or the
like is unnecessary and the plaster is firmly held, substantially as described and
illustrated.

Improvements in Curry Combs.
I, THEODOR MEINERT of 5 Johannstrasse, Blasewitz, Near Dresden, in the Empire
of Germany, 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:-
-
The curry comb which forms the object of the present invention is characterized
by the fact that it not only cleans the horse but combines an increased neatness
in appearance of the animal's coat when finished brushed with a saving of time.
On the drawing attached the new curry comb is shown in section on Figure 1
and in side view on Figure 2.
The new curry comb has in contra distinction to the known combs hitherto
employed-considerably stronger teeth and two rows of such teeth a are always
placed close to each other. Between these rows of teeth a rubber plate bis
employed in such manner that the teeth only project a little over the rubber plates.
These rubber plates are arranged for the purpose of lightly combing sensitive
or fine-haired horses, whilst for grooming coarse-haired horses, by increased
pressure the rubber is compressed and thereby the teeth made to project through
further and therefore comb deeper.
The rubber plates remove the dust whereby the woollen cleaners usually employed
after the comb become superfluous. The horses only need to be wiped again so
that the finishing is completed with better results and in a shorter time. Whilst
in use, the dust is knocked out of the curry comb; and afterwards the curry comb
is placed in water and properly cleaned.
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 curry comb for horses provided with teeth in sets of two rows having a rubber
plate between each row so that by altering the pressure upon the comb the rubber
is more or less compressed and the teeth of the comb penetrate to a greater or less
extent all substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described with refer-
ence to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in or relating to Respirators.
I, SAKELLARIOS NIKOLAJEVITSCH PAPAGEORGI of Alexander-Theaterplatz 4 Quart 60,
St. Petersberg in the Empire of Russia, Commissary, 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 respirator according to the present invention is formed as follows:-
From a piece of sponge of 1-1 centimetres thickness is made a hollow bag a
closed in front, the open end having a circumference of about 16-18 centimetres. The
bag is secured together by a hand 6 so that it cannot fall to pieces or come apart at
the seams. The open end is surrounded by a rubber or elastic band 61 so that it may
fit tightly the face of the user. At two opposite points of the rubber band ¹ are
arranged buttons c serving for securing the band by which the device is secured to
the head of the user. This latter band consists preferably of a strong rubber or elastic
band e with leather-tags or branches d.
When using the sponge-respirator, it is first wetted whereby it becomes soft and
does not hurt the face, like other respirators. Then one end of the head band is
unbuttoned and the rubber-band placed round the head and the end again buttoned
up.
In this way the respirator is securely and conveniently fixed on the head.
Such a respirator is very useful in factories where chemicals are treated, producing
injurious gases or dust also in hospitals for the protection of doctors and the staff.
The air passing through the sponge is perfectly fitted and freed from all injurious and
badly smelling gases or dust and from contagious germs, said action being due to the
high porosity and hygroscopic qualities of the sponge. The sponge-respirator can be
easily washed if necessary, several times a day, without injuring it. It also allows of
breathing in an easier manner than other respirators, so that it is much easier and
pleasanter to work with it, and no perspiration or painful breathing is caused by its
use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A sponge-respirator comprising a sponge bag a set in a rubber band b¹ and
closed at one end and having an opening at the other end, said respirator being
secured by means of buttons c to a head band provided with branches d for the
purpose of detachably fixing it to the head substantially as described.

My invention relates to improvements in box or case fasteners, and has for its
object to dispense with the use of faulty nails and to provide an easily made and
effective while also readily disconnected fastening.
My invention consists in the provision of angle plates in which spikes or nails are
integrally provided for fastening the sides of boxes or cases together.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of a cover of a packing box or case while,
Figure 2 is a perspective plan of a packing box or case corresponding thereto, and
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of a large detail view of the fastener.
The angle plates 6 are applied in any convenient number to the box k or lid d
and are fastened by means of nails or spikes h. The plate 6 is provided as bent to an
obtuse angle and one part is secured to the lid or to the box or case, while the
other part is subsequently bent over and the nails protruding therefrom caused to enter
at right angles.
In Figure 2 the application of my fastening is illustrated as applied to the corners
of the packing box or case, one end overlapping the other and securing the corner
of the lid to the edges of the box or case. When it is required to make a more
secure fastening the spikes or nails in the fastening plates may vary in length or
the extremity of the nails or spikes may be provided with barbs or hooks upon that
part of the plate which is secured to the box, so that thereby the fastening is very
firmly secured to the box and is difficult of removal; while that part of the
fastening which is secured to the lid of the box or case may be provided with spikes
or nails of ordinary shape. In such event an indication can be made upon the
fastening as to which end is rigidly secured to the case so as to guide the warehouse-
man in disconnecting the fastening.
I may provide if preferred rivets to connect that part of the plate secured to the
box or case.
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 box or case fastening consisting of a plate integrally provided with nails or
spikes which connect the parts of the box or case substantially as and for the purpose
herein before described.

DIEVITICATION.
Improvements in Subsoil Ploughs.
I, FRITZ BAUMANN, Private-man, residing at Calbe/ Milde, 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 purpose of this plough is to by the side of more or less deep ploughing loosen
such places as are not reached by the plough. This has been frequently tried by the
so-called diggers independently or in connection with a plough, but they all had
the disadvantage, that the cattle and the guide-man were treading fast again what
they had ploughed. Besides, the ploughing was made difficult by the uneveness of
the furrow. Deep ploughing is of great necessity for heavy, sticky, moory and loose
sand-soil, but in underploughing of the manure it has the disadvantage that the
latter is ploughed under too deep.
The loosening-up of the underground must not take place after ploughing, nor can
it be done before, but must be done at the same time by the side of it, i.e. the furrow
to be covered by the plough can only be loosened up shortly before.
This is to be enabled by the present subsoiling plough.
The loosening-up is done by the grubber which consists of a strong iron beam
with a number of hooks (g g¹). As the grubber stands in slanting position to. the
plough, the said hooks are catching into the ground one after the other. The beam
H can be in suitable manner adjustably fixed at the beam B, so that the depth of the
hooks g¹ can be regulated according to the state of the soil.
The projection of the grubber is so dimensioned that it works in the drawn furrow
and that the following share S throws the earth of the new furrow over the thus loosened
soil.
The first furrow on the soil can therefore be drawn without the grubber.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
"In a plough of ordinary construction the combination with a hook-system arranged
fixed or movable at the plough-beam, the hooks of the system, which are going in
front of the share and effect a deeper loosening of the drawn furrow, standing in
slanting position to the plough-axle, in such a manner that the share following
covers the loosened furrow with earth, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth."

A New or Improved Parallel Vice.
I, BERNHARD FRÜHLICH of Marktstrasse 20, Leipzig-Neustadt, in the German
Empire, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to parallel vices and its chief object is to so construct
such a vice that the screw by means of which the jaws are opened or closed shall
not be subjected to any strain other than a longitudinal strain.
A vice constructed to embody these improvements is illustrated in the
accompanying drawings to which I will hereinafter refer.
Figure 1 is a representation of the vice in side elevation in the open position.
Figure 2 is a similar view of it in the closed position.
Figure 3 shews the vice in back elevation.
a is the fixed jaw of the vice which may be secured to a bench or table in the
usual or any convenient manner, and b is the movable jaw. c is the screwed
spindle which, as usual, passes through the loose jaw and engages with a nut or
the like in the fixed jaw. The two jaws are connected together on each side by
a pair of crossed arms or levers d, e, the arms of each pair being movably
connected together by a rivet or pin f. The upper ends of each pair of arms
are connected by studs or the like y and h to the jaws b and a in such a manner
as to be capable of rotary motion. The lower ends of each pair are provided with
studs or projections k and i which engage with and move in slots m and I formed
in the vice jaws.
These crossed arms always maintain the jaws of the vice in positions parallel
to each other and the screw c can never be subjected to a lateral strain.
The jaws are closed or opened by rotating the screwed spindle in one direction
or the other in the usual manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what
I claim is:-
A vice, the jaws of which are connected together and maintained in parallel
positions by means of crossed arms or levers, substantially as and for the purpose

Improvements in Stockings and Socks.
I, GOTTHARD LINDEMUTH of Hohenkirchen, Lunzenau, Saxony, Hosiery Manu-
facturer, 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 said invention relates to improvements in stockings or socks and is herein-
after described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal section of a woman's stocking made in accord-
ance with my said invention.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a man's sock also made in accordance with
my said invention.
Fig. 3 represents a woman's stocking as taken off the knitting machine and not
yel sewn together.
My said invention consists essentially of a double stocking or sock viz.-an
external one E and an internal one F secured together so as to prevent displace-
ment of either of them. Such stockings or socks may be produced for example in
the following manner.
A stocking is first produced without the top band A Fig. 3, that is to say, the
calf B the heel C and the foot D. This when taken from the knitting machine
forms the inner stocking F. A top piece A having been produced by plain knit-
ting is doubled as in Fig. 1 and suspended at both ends in the line on the
needles of a knitting machine. The same thing is done with the upper part of the
inner stocking F and then the external stocking E is knitted on the knitting
machine.
By this procedure both stockings E and F are connected with the top band A.
To produce a stocking as shown in Fig. 2 the top band A' is knitted as a ribbed
fabric and is not doubled but is simply hung at one end on the line - on the
knitting needles. The upper end of a complete inner stocking F having no top
band is applied as before and then the external stocking E is knitted on to it.
Next the plain meshes of the two stockings are linked together at yy and 2-3
of Figa 1 and 3.and the remaining part of the stockings E and F i.e. from a to y
and from y to are connected by a single or double threaded seam. Thus both
stockings from a to z and in the line - are secured to each other.
The stockings E and F may also be produced separately sewn together or closed
round on a circular knitting machine. In the one case the two stockings which
already hang together at _ with the top band may be connected by linking.
at yy (Fig. 2) and zz. In the other case the connection may be made by a
seam at any convenient part of the foot.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1
A double stocking having a plain doubled or ribbed single top band on to which
are worked two stockings E and F one inside the other and connected to ether on

An Improved Ruler.
I, CARL STRAMPFOR, of 10 Albertschmiedstrasse, Halle a/S. Germany,
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 an improved form of ruler which is preferably made of
sheet metal and stamped with corrugations.
The new ruler is shown on the accompanying drawing..
The ruler can be made of steel, iron, celluloid, or vulcanite and can be of any
desired length. If desired it can be provided with a scale or divisions.
The hollow parts of the corrugations can be utilized to store pens, pencils, india.
rubber, &c.
When cutting paper with the aid of this ruler the first rib of the corrugations.
serves to protect the fingers from injury which sometimes happens when using a
knife, if it slips. When the ruler is made very long it can be used as a measure or
a straight edge. When drawing lines with ink the rear side can be used.
Several rulers can be connected together so as to form one long ruler by making
the corrugations of each ruler fit into those of the next one and then securing their
ends together by means of small screws. As shown on the drawing a hole is.
provided at the end of each ruler for the insertion of a screw.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is:—
1. A ruler provided with corrugations and also at one or both sides with a flat
edge or part which is or may be graduated so as to form a scale or the like,
substantially as set forth.
2. Securing together several corrugated rulers, such as claimed in Claim 1,.
by means of screws or the like so as to form one long ruler substantially as-
described.

page_text: Improvements in Radiators for Heating Purposes.
ROBERT CHARLTON, Engineer, Manors, Newcastle-on-Tyne, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention applies to heaters or radiators and more particularly to gilled
radiators which are used to heat by steam the cabins and other compartments on
board ships and consists in making the steam chamber of a flattened shape and in
having three or more apertures so that the inlet and outlet valves or fittings
may be differently arranged to suit different positions.
Dated this 23rd day of February 1897.
I, ROBERT CHARLTON, Engineer, Manors, Newcastle-on-Tyne, 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 applies to steam radiators or heaters such as are used to heat rooms
or compartments of any kind and more particularly to steam heaters used on board
ships to heat the cabins, saloons and other places or compartments.
The heaters or radiators which are at present much used on board ships, yachts
and boats usually consist of a metal vessel or steam chamber of a circular or tubular
shape with a steam inlet pipe at one end and an exhaust pipe out at the other end.
Now my invention consists in making the metal vessel or steam chamber of a
flattened shape so that it will lie closer to the side of the room or compartment or
close to or under the furniture and therefore be more out of the way.
I also have on the surface of this flattened steam chamber, gills or ribs or projec-
tions so as to extend the surface and thus make a greater heating surface.
I also provide when desirable three or more apertures or orifices to the steam
chamber so that the inlet and outlet pipes or valves may be fixed to any of these
apertures, the remaining apertures, if any, can be stopped up with screw plugs or
caps. These additional apertures give more freedom in fixing the pipes or valves to
suit different positions in which the radiators are placed.
The accompanying drawings will more clearly shew the nature of my invention.
Figs. No. 2, 3 & 5 are cross sections of my steam chambers and shew how they can
be made of the desired flattened shapes.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a steam chamber which has 4 apertures or
orifices. these are shewn at A, B, C & D.

page_text: Now it would be a convenient and good working arrangement to have the steam
valve or stean inlet pipe fixed at A and the exhaust or discharge at D, and B and C
plugged or closed up; but it is sometimes desirable to have both the steam and the
exhaust pipes at the same end of the steam chamber, therefore the inlet may be
placed at, say A and the exhaust at C, and B and D stopped up, or these 4 orifices
may be used in any manner desired.
In a similar way the three orifices shewn on Fig. 4, and the four orifices shewn on
Fig. 6 may be used in the most convenient manner.
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

Improvements in Tubulous Steam Boilers and in Tubes for same.
A communication from abroad by the SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME DU TEMPLE, of Paris, in the
French Republic.
I, ALLEN PARRY JONES, of 55 and 56 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents, 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 and connected with tubulous
steam boilers of the type in which a close wall or partition of tubes is required.
The object of the present invention is to provide means whereby such a close wall
may be readily and effectively formed in a boiler.
To this end the tubes required to form such a wall partition arch or the like are
provided with flat sides where they abut against each other so that they may remain
in contact in spite of displacements which a possible slight deformation in their axial
plane may produce.
In the accompanying drawing is shown in section three tubes having one form
which they may take in accordance with this invention the dotted outline representing
a partly displaced tube.
The invention mainly consists in so shaping the tubes externally as to form a
comparatively large surface of contact between each tube and its neighbour so that a
slight displacement of the tubes may occur without destroying the continuity of the
wall or the like.
The tubes at their extremities are of the usual cylindrical shape the ribs or
edges a b c d being reduced or removed so that no alteration in the usual method of
fitting the tubes is required.
It will be evident that other forms may be adopted without departing from the
invention the essential condition being that the tubes be provided with flat surfaces
on two diametrically opposite sides for the purpose described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents I declare that what I claim is
1. Tubes for tubulous steam boilers having two flat surfaces on opposite sides and
reduced or cylindrical ends substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a tubulous steam boiler a close wall partition arch or the like formed of tubes
having flat surfaces on opposite sides so that a slight displacement of such tubes does
not destroy the close nature of the wall or the like substantially as described.
3. A close wall of tubes formed substantially as and for the purpose described and
as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
