We, ARTHUR BROADBENT of 82 Hatchet Street, Birmingham Lamp Maker,.
and SEPTIMUS HUTCHINSON late of 38 New Street, Aston, now of 162 Wells.
Street Birmingham, Cycle Lamp 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:-
Our invention consists of a moveable shutter working on a pivot and which by
means of a lever working on the outside of the lantern may be raised or depressed
the former motion permitting the rays of light from the lantern to stream through
the glass or bull's eye, the latter closing the aperture and effectually darkening the
lantern..
The principal advantages brought about by means of this invention are firstly
that the light can be very readily shut off or darkened by a simple movement of
the lever the old method necessitating that the body of the lamp had to be turned
round and this when the lamp was heated was extremely inconvenient there always
being a danger of burnt fingers. Secondly the design is much simplified the inner
body of the lantern being entirely dispensed with.
The mechanism is shewn by drawing accompanying Complete Specification part
lettered "A" represents the moveable shutter.
"B" the lever by means of which the shutter is raised or depressed.
"C" circular opening at back of bulls eye glass which is closed when shutter is
depressed.
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 method of shutting off the light in dark lanterns and the like by means of a.
moveable shutter.

Improvements in Rock Drills.
I, THEODORE REUNERT, of 8 Mount Preston, Leeds in the County of York,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
My invention relates to rock drills and consists in improvements in the end cover
or buffer head of the same, the object of my invention being to guide more securely
the piston rod and keep the same packed tight in the gland and to automatically
adjust the gland as the packing wears.
My improvements are hereinafter particularly described with reference to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, on which
.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the improved cover or buffer head and part section of
the rock drill cylinder;
Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the same and
Fig. 3 an end view of the cover or buffer head.
In carrying my invention into effect, I arrange a steel cover or buffer head A
preferably made solid, provided with an internal stuffing box B, into which is fitted
a steel gland C leaving as usual a space D in the stuffing box into which two or
more rounds of any suitable gland packing G can be inserted. The gland C is
provided with a collar or flange E fitting into the enlarged bored out end of the
cylinder J. A steel buffer ring H is likewise inserted into said end and between it and
the flange E an elastic india rubber buffer F is inserted so as to be lightly compressed
and keep a light pressure on the packing G. When compressed air is admitted to
the cylinder J while the piston rod K makes its return stroke, the steel buffer
ring His pressed outwards and compresses the rubber buffer F, which causes the
gland C to compress the packing G and press it against the piston rod K, thereby
preventing any leakage of the pressure fluid while working. This arrangement of
cover or buffer head allows the buffer head to be constructed with a long boss L so
as to support the piston rod K and enable boreholes to be started without the miner
holding or steadying the end of the drill bit when commencing the hole.
The cover or buffer head A with boss L may be in halves bolted together if
preferred.
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 a rock drill the construction of a cover or buffer head with an internal
stuffing box and gland so arranged that the fluid pressure in the cylinder compresses.
the packing substantially as described.
2. In a rock drill the arrangement of a cover or buffer head with an internal
stuffing box and gland substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
drawings.

An Improved Billiard Ball.
I, CARL HERRMANN THEODOR NEUMANN of Alexanderstreet 10, Berlin in
the Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, Turner, 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 subject matter of the present application relates to a billiard ball of box-
wood or lignum vitæ and which is intended to form a substitute for billiard balls
made of ivory as hitherto generally in use.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawing in
which a view of the ball in part section is shown.
The sap contained in the box-wood out of which the billiard ball is intended to
be made, is drawn out of same in any suitable way and the wood then prepared
with benzine in order to impart the same hardness and gloss to it as is possessed by
ivory balls. Six suitably arranged points are inlaid in the box-wood ball after it
has been prepared in the manner described.
These inlays are made in the following way as will be seen in the drawing.
A piece of lead a. provided with a thread is screwed in the six regularly arranged
points, an india-rubber disc b. being then laid on same.
The piece of lead and the india-rubber disc are in addition fastened to the
insides of the wood parts by a mixture of glue and spiritus vini. A point made of
box-wood is set on the india-rubber disc, screwed fast in the opening of the ball
and then shaped down to the surface of the ball. The point itself must of course
be rather larger than the opening into which it has to be fitted.
After the ball is prepared in this way it can be dyed any color, preferably the
one usually in use with ivory balls.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
A billiard ball made of box-wood or lignum vitæ in which lead inlays a. are
screwed at six points, being held fast by pressure screws c. made of box wood and
formed as points whilst an india-rubber disc b. is arranged between the lead inlays
and points substantially as described and shown in the drawing.

I WILLIAM JOHN BOLT of Victoria Buildings Heaton Lane Stockport in the
County of Lancaster, Clothier, 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 chiefly to the pockets and other parts of garments cheaply
made of coarse material and designed for rough usage, the object being to stay
such parts as are most liable to be pulled asunder at the seaming by cheaper and
more efficient means than by ordinary sewing.
When applying my invention to a pocket I stay each end of the mouth of the
same by a metal rivet preferably protecting the fabric from the rivet heads by
leather or other suitable washers.
And I apply a similar rivet to any other part of the garment (say for example at
the fork of a pair of trousers at the juncture of a buckle tab to the same) where the
Beam requires to be strongly stayed.
It will be evident that my invention is especially applicable to workmen's
moleskin corduroy and similar trousers and jackets.
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 improved means for staying pockets and other parts of garments by metal
rivets substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

In carrying out our invention we take precipitated sulphur prepared by any of
the well known processes and employ it in a manner similar to that in which
flowers of sulphur or ground sulphur are used for the prevention or extermination
of insect pests or fungoid growths.
In practice we find that owing to the much finer state of division of the
precipitated sulphur it can be distributed over a much greater space than flowers
of sulphur or ground sulphur and therefore much less of the precipitated
suffices.

a is the bell shaped glass, and 6 the trough shaped rim forming a gutter which
we form on the inside of the glass. c is a hole (which may be closed by a suitable
stopper) to allow of emptying the water from the glass.
By providing a propagating glass with a gutter as described it will be obvious
that the moisture which condenses on the glass above the gutter b will run down
the glass into the gutter and be collected therein and thus be prevented from falling
into the soil and souring it as happens with the glasses as hitherto constructed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A propagating glass provided with a gutter on the inside, substantially as and

Improvements in Protective Corner Plates for Books.
I, CHARLES CHRISTIAN ERNEST LESENBERG of 14 Gr. Wasserstrasse,
Rostock in the German Empire, Consul, 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 protective corner plates for the covers of books, and
its object is to so construct and arrange such plates that they may be readily
applied to and be removed from the books.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings which
illustrate in what manner my invention may be carried into effect.
Each of the figures in the drawings is a perspective view.
Figure 1 shews the plates in the position they would occupy on the corner of a
book cover in use;
Figure 2 with the plates partially separated for removal from the cover; and
Figure 3 the plates fully separated.
The arrangement consists of (for each corner of a book cover) two similar
triangular parallel plates ab which may be constructed of sheet brass or of any other
suitable material. The lower triangular plate a which will be the inner plate in
use, has secured upon it two vertical loops c c which pass through two corresponding
slots formed in and through the upper plate b. Similar slots, for a similar purpose,
may also be formed in the corners of the book cover.
Through the loops c formed on the plate a and above the plate 6, there are passed
the ends of a strong brass or steel wire h, which ends are bent and curved as
shewn by the figures so that they will act in the same way as a cam as herein-
after described. The ends of the wire are connected by an intermediate part which
is curved and bent to form a handle. The curvature of the ends of the wire is
such that when the handle is turned over as shewn by Figure 1 they press the
two plates together, and when turned over in the opposite direction as in Figure 3,
the ends are raised from the plate c, which can consequently be lifted to the limit
of the loops, and the arrangement can be freely removed from the corner of the
book cover. The intermediate position of the arrangement is illustrated by Figure 2
where the wire is in the act of being turned over, from the left to the right in
the act of liberating the plates.
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-
Corner plates for book covers, constructed and arranged substantially as herein-
before described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

rrocess for Avoiding or Considerably Diminishing the Choking and
Contraction of the Mouth of the Retort in the Manufacture of
the "Thomas" Steel.
I AUGUSTE RAZE, Managing-Director of the Société Anonyme of Ougreé, at
Ougreé, near Liège, in the Kingdom of Belgium, 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 object to entirely avoid or at least to considerably diminish
the inconveniences resulting from the choking and contraction of the mouth of the
retort in the manufacture of the steel known as "Thomas steel."
In order to avoid these inconveniences 1 form a number of openings around the
mouth of the retort and immediately above the level of the molten metal. Through
these openings air is blown by means of a fan or blower during the operation of
converting the cast or molten metal. The air may be blown in in different ways
for instance through one or more tubes communicating with the blast box of the
retort, or through the holes above described.
In order that my invention may be better understood reference is had to the
accompanying drawings upon which :
Figure 1 is a vertical section of a retort for the "Thomas" steel process.
Figure 2, a horizontal section of the same through line A-B.
Figure 3 being a front elevation shewing the air distributing chamber in section.
a represents a retort for the "Thomas" steel process, b, the mouth or beak of
retort a. c being the air chamber of retort a. d is the tube for blowing in air
between the charge of metal and the beak of retort a. f, tap for regulating the
air blown in above the charge of metal. g, chamber for distributing the air blown
in through the tubes or openings i.
By this arrangement I obtain a more perfect combustion of the gas and
consequently avoid or reduce to a very great extent the choking of the mouth of
the retort which otherwise takes place.
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 the manufacture of the "Thomas" steel, the blowing in of air through
one or more special openings formed in the upper portion of the retort, substantially
as and for the purposes described.

I, ROBERT MOFFITT, of 13 Grace Terrace, Sunderland, in the County of
Durham, Superintendent 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 furnace bars, of a novel form of section which will
prevent choking of the air spaces with "clinker" and avoid almost entirely the
use of the "pricker," thus ensuring a constant clear passage for the air to the fuel
and thereby greatly increased durability of the bars.
The section of the improved bar is shewn on the drawing herewith on which
Fig. 1 is a section full size, of two bars cast together as I prefer, in order to
secure strength and straightness, Fig. 2 is a side elevation, Fig. 3 a plan of the top
of the bars and Fig. 4 a plan of the bottom of the bars which are intended to be
cast in one length from the dead plate to the bridge without any intermediate
bearing bar and the proportions given are those which I have found suitable in
actual service.

grooved, the upper edge or surface of the bar forms a half circle the bar thence
tapering to a "thin edge." The bars made on this principle give the maximum

amount of air space for the thorough combustion of the fuel,
description of coal can be burnt on them. With good coal bars made on this
principle will consume 20 lbs. of coal per sq. foot of grate surface without either
forced or induced draft. The "clinker not adhering to the bars prevents them
from burning, consequently the air space between the bars is always efficient which
is not the case with any other form of bar.
"
From experimental trials which I have superintended, extending over many
months, I have satisfied myself that this semi-circular form of the top edge has
entirely prevented the adhesion of "clinker and the consequent necessity of
frequent pricking, whilst the durability has been greatly increased the renewals
being a mere fraction of those required with any other form of bar.
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 and application of furnace bars, cast singly or in groups of two
or more, the upper edges of which are of semi-circular shape with the objects
hereinbefore set forth substantially as described and shewn.

Combined Drawing Pen and Indian Ink Reservoir.
I, HEINRICH HÖLTZEL, of 3 Weberstrasse, Esslingen, 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 has for its object to combine with an ordinary drawing pen a.
reservoir for holding Indian ink. The reservoir saves time in filling the ink and.
gives a continuous supply.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have here-
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
Fig. 1 is a back view of a drawing pen, in which the ink reservoir is shown in
section.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the ink reservoir.
Fig. 3 is a view of a compass drawing-pen, with the ink reservoir attached.
Fig. 4 shows a method of attaching the reservoir to the pen.
Referring to the drawings, whereon the same reference letters, wherever repeated,.
indicate similar or like parts :-
A is a drawing pen, which has the usual metal pen f at its lower end. a is the:
ink reservoir which is preferably made cylindrical in shape and is closed at top by a.
small screw plug b. As the ink in the reservoir sinks, air is admitted through a.
channel c in the plug. The lower end of the reservoir a tapers away into or has.
fitted to it a bent tubular delivery spout d which is or may be square in cross
section. The lower end of the spout is carried into the space between the two
parts of the pen. A small cock g or other regulating device is fitted on the spout d
for the purpose of regulating the outflow of the ink." When the ink in the pen has
been used, a further supply can be turned on by means of the cock g; or the ink
may be allowed to flow continuously by keeping the cock slightly open.
The reservoir is attached to the pen by means of wings i, k, which are pushed
into the pen in such a manner as to grip one of the parts of the pen (see Fig. 4)..
On the wingi is a small pinching screw 1. By turning the screw 1, the wings are
clamped to the pen and the reservoir is held firmly in place.
By loosening the screw the reservoir can be shifted up and down the pen to
any desired height, and it can then be held in place by again tightening up the
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
claim is :-
The combination with a drawing pen of an Indian ink reservoir, made substantially-
as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed.

Improvements in or relating to Boots and Shoes.
We ARTHUR BRIGGS of 25 Mecklenburgh Street, Leicester, Boot Factor, and
FRANK KENNELL of Shaftesbury Avenue, Leicester, Boot Manufacturer's 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 :-
This invention has reference to boots and shoes and is designed with the object
of providing a boot or shoe which combines a useful feature of special importance
to persons who take part in the game of football.
One of the essential characteristics of a boot or shoe to be used in the game
mentioned is its capacity to cause the football to travel in a direct line after it has
been kicked by a player and not to fly off at an angle or in a sidewise direction.
This invention therefore consists in providing a boot or shoe with a peculiar
formation of toe cap and such as shall ensure sufficient frictional contact with the
football at the moment it is kicked to prevent it moving off in a sidewise
direction.
For this purpose the leather which forms the toe cap of the boot or shoe is
reeded or crimped, to effect which it is passed between a pair of rollers one of
whose peripheries is grooved or ribbed.
The invention will be fully understood from the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a view of a boot constructed in accordance with this invention and
Figure 2 is a transverse section across the toe cap.
A is the toe cap which is reeded or crimped as before described so as to form a
series of channels B and ridges C thereon as shown most clearly in Figure 2.
The toe cap is secured to the upper by rows of stitches D and the other parts of
the boot are made in the well known manner.
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 football boot or shoe the toe cap of which is reeded or crimped substantially
as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

of Prussia, Empire of Germany, Doctor juris, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved safety-envelope, and consists in a
device by means of which the opening of envelopes containing valuables, without
detection is rendered impossible.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 shows a view of the new safety-envelope and Fig. 2 a cross section of the
same.
The back part of the envelope is formed in the usual manner by the folding over
and gumming together of three flaps a, b, and c, and is further provided with four
small holes, of which two d and e are in the lower and one in each of the side.
flaps (fand g). The upper, loose flap, which is gummed down only after insertion
of the letter etc., is provided with three holes, h, and k, of which, the two first are
made to come exactly over the holes ƒ and g in the side flaps. A string or cord is
passed through these holes in such a manner that the loop of the same falls on the
outside between the holes d and e, whilst the ends on the one side are passed
through the holes f and hand on the other side through the holes and i, then
both through the middle hole k. After the loose flap has been gummed down, the
string is drawn tight and the ends sealed to some spot on the back of the envelope.
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:
