both of Hamerbrookstrasse 117, Hamburg in the German Empire, 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:-
This invention relates to a New or Improved Pipe Union which is intended to
enable the connection between two pipes to be effected in a simple and easy
manner without the use of solder.
We will describe our invention with reference to the accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section,
Figure 2 a cross section, and
Figure 3 an elevation.
The pipe union constructed according to this invention consists of a double nut
provided on its opposite sides with the two conical tightening surfaces a a on which
the annular ribs & may be formed. The nuts and cones are separated by the
division e and the external part of the double nut is shaped hexagonally or other-
wise to be gripped by a spanner or key. Within each side of the double nut
there fits an externally screwed ferrule for g which is also shaped to be gripped
by a spanner or key. The inner part of each ferrule is conically shaped to fit upon
the correspondingly formed part of the nut.
In making a connection between two pipes by means of this union, the ferrules fg
are respectively placed upon the ends of the pipes m n which are expanded into
the conical parts. The ferrules are then inserted into the nuts so that the threads e
engage, and upon their being rotated relatively to each other, the ferrules will be
screwed up into the nuts, and the ends of the pipes will be compressed between the
conical surfaces, making tight joints.
If it be desired to make an asbestos or india-rubber joint, the annular ribs b may
be omitted, rings of the packing material being employed between the ends of the
ferrules and the partition c or packing cones of like material may be employed
between the pipe and inner cone.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;-
1. A pipe union consisting of a duplex nut provided with two opposite conical
tightening surfaces and two externally screwed ferrules having internally coned
surfaces, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. In the pipe union hereinbefore described, annular ribs bb, constructed upon
the conical parts substantially as set forth and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
A "music clip"-to facilitate the turning over of leaves of music, when playing
the piano, or any other musical instrument.
It consists of three parts, or pieces as follows-A body, with tongue piece
combined a spring-and a leather tag or tab.
It is made of thin metal, and is of an inch long, and 76 of an inch broad. At
one end there is a slot for a leather tag, or tab; the other end is round, and about
of an inch from the edge of the round end, a tongue piece is cut in. On each
side of the body there is an arm, set at right angles to it; and a spring working
between these two arms, actuates on the tongue piece; and thus grips the sheet of
music, when placed underneath.
Note. These sizes are approximate.
In Fig. 1. in drawing, A. is the body, and B. the tongue piece; C. and C are
the two arms on A, and are bent, or set at right angles to A. as in Fig. 4, and
support the spring D (Fig. 2), which spring actuates on the tongue piece B, as in
Fig. 3. and Fig. 5-and thus B grips the sheet of music, as in Fig. 4.
C2 and Care stops, which prevent the spring D. from falling to far over.

Improvements in the Bearings of Wheels.
1, HENRY PEACE, of Lloyd Street, Wednesbury, in the County of Stafford,
Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in the bearings of wheels of all
kinds by which the friction and wearing is materially reduced while such bearings
are cheap and simple to manufacture.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon.
which I have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1, is a vertical cross section through one of my bearings.
Figure 2, is a vertical longitudinal section through same.
Figure 3, is a similar section to Figure 1 but showing a modification.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the swell upon the bearing surface
of the wheel E to fit which I provide the bearing blocks K and K' which are
inserted in the hole formed in the wheel E so that the swell e¹ turns in the recess.
formed in the blocks K and K' which blocks are mounted on the pin or axle S
which is of a similar external shape to that of the internal shape of the hole k²
in the blocks K and K. The pin or axle S also passes through the supports A
the holes a' being made to fit the shape of the said pin or axle. Projections may
be formed on the wheel to assist in preventing the dirt or dust from entering the
bearings. Instead of the swell el being made to fit the hollow in the blocks K, K',
may so shape it as shown at 3 Figure 3 which reduces the bearing surface and
consequently the friction to any desired extent. The hole in the blocks may
be of any desired shape so long as the blocks are prevented from turning on the
pin or axle S.
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 improvements in the bearings of wheels having a swell e' or e' working in
the hollowed blocks K and K¹ which are fitted substantially as and for the purpose.
herein set forth and shown upon the accompanying drawings.

Vessels for Containing Liquids under Pressure.
I, ALBERT BOECLER of 65 Grosse Reichen Strasse, Hamburg, in the German

same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the-
following statement :-
This invention relates to siphons and the like vessels for containing liquids.
under pressure, and its object is to construct and arrange these valves in such
a manner that they may be displaced by a slight pressure of the finger to open
the siphon or the like and allow of the escape of the contained liquid.
The accompanying drawing, reference to which is hereinafter made, illustrates.
in vertical section the upper part of a siphon having combined with it a valve-
or stopper constructed according to this invention.
The siphon a has placed upon its neck the indiarubber or other suitable
packing ring or washer b carrying the delivery tube c which extends to nearly
the bottom of the siphon. Placed upon and embracing the neck of the siphon
or bottle are two halves of a ring d screwed on their outer surfaces to engage
with the internally screwed valve casing e. This casing is furnished with a flauge
or annular projection which presses the packing ring 6 upon the neck of the
siphon and establishes a tight joint.
The valve consists of a spindle f to one end of which is secured an indiarubber
ball or button which if desired may be contained at its upper part within a
coned seating attached to the spindle. The pressure exerted in securing, preferably
either by screwing or riveting, the indiarubber ball in place, causes it to swell
around and beyond its seating. The other end of the spindle f projects upwards
through the casing e and is furnished with a press button g and an indiarubber
ring h. The stopper i is forced upon its seat by the pressure of the liquid con-.
tained in the receptacle but is easily displaced to allow of the delivery of the
liquid by pressure upon the button g. The indiarubber washer h acts as a packing
ring to prevent the escape of liquid through the top of the casing when the
stopper or valve is open and may also act as a spring to assist the return of
the stopper to its seat.
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 the cap and delivery outlet of a siphon or like vessel of
the valve spindle f, a valve i, a push button g, a packing ring h, a divided securing.
ring d, and a packing ring b, all constructed and arranged substantially as.
hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in or relating to Mounting Paper on Linen or other
Backing and Products of the Process.
I, LOUIS FERDINAND DOBLER, of 81 Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, in the
Republic of France, 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 a process for mounting on canvas or linen etc. all kinds
of paper plain printed or coated with any substance, in particular that used for
photographic purposes, as hereinafter described, as well as the new products thus
obtained.
It consists in the interposition, between the paper and the fabric, of an adhesive
film, formed with a base of indiarubber or gutta-percha; these two natural
substances however, may be replaced by any other similar products, as substitutes,
such e.g. as artificial caoutchouc, so long as they are qualified to form an adhesive
waterproof film. Such film, with indiarubber or gutta-percha base, may be used
in a state of solution for coating or covering the paper or fabric, or both, on one
side; or the entire fabric may be impregnated with such solution.
When gutta-
percha is used, the process is simplified by placing a gutta-percha sheet between
the paper and the fabric, and subjecting the same to heat under pressure, i.e. to a
temperature sufficient to soften the gutta-percha.
Papers thus mounted constitute a product of great strength and especially
suitable for use in the photographic industry. They may, without any incon-
venience, be mounted before or after sensitization even after being printed and
may be submitted to the action of the various chemical baths used in
photography.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The employment of an adhesive substance with an indiarubber or guttapercha
base natural or artificial for mounting on canvas linen or other fabric backing
(a) papers of various kinds: (b) photographic papers before or after sensitization :
(c) photographic impressions or prints of all kinds.
2. In the mounting of papers of various kinds notably of photographic papers at

Improvements in Travelling Boxes or Cases.
I, ALICE MARIAN JONES of St. Alban's Road Highgate Road London N. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"This invention relates to an improved construction of travelling box and is
intended to provide an article of that description which will expose the contents
more completely when opened, thus obviating the annoyance commonly experienced
when searching for any article when in a hurry.
The box is provided with the ordinary lid and fastening but is formed with a
hinged front which when the lid is opened can be turned down exposing the contents
at the front. A spring catch is employed at each side to retain the front in a
closed position with a button or finger piece which on being pressed will cause the
front to drop. The box or case can be made in wood or other suitable material.

I, ALICE MARIAN JONES of St. Alban's Road Highgate Road N.W. 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 new travelling box, any size required, neatly made in wood or other suitable
material.
This box is provided with the ordinary lid & fastening, but is formed with a
hinged front which when the lid is opened can be turned down exposing the contents
at the front.
A spring catch is employed at each side to retain the front in a closed position,
with a button or finger piece, which on being pressed will cause the front to drop.
This arrangement is particularly useful when stopping say a night only at a
place & travelling on next day. At a glance one can see down one side what is in,
& the practise so common yet so aunoying-especially when in a hurry-of
turning out the whole contents for something found after all at the bottom, is
avoided.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A new construction of travelling box for the purpose of facilitating the finding
of an article required, without the usual loss of time, in a box already packed.

Clamp for Fastening Wire.
We, THOMAS PIKE, Master Mariner, of 42, Cairo Street, and STEPHEN
PAYNE, Mariner, of 25, Riddley Terrace, both of Sunderland, in the County of
Durham, 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 clamps or holdfasts for securing the ends of wire ropes
and the like and has for its object to provide a clamp suitable for any sort or size
of wire by which rigging or any standing ends of wire or rope may be quickly and
securely fastened. The clamp is light, inexpensive, and durable, and by its use
both material and labour are saved.
According to the present methods of fixing the ends of wire used for ships'
rigging, etc., in case of emergency the wire cannot be let go and it is a work of time,
labour, and difficulty to cut them away. By the use of this invention they can be
let go very rapidly by simply slacking certain nuts.
We will describe our invention in reference to the accompanying drawing in
which
Fig. 1 is a front view of the clamp, Fig. 2 a top end view, Fig. 3 an internal
view of one section, Fig. 4 a half section on line 1-2 thereof, Fig. 5 a front
elevation with ferrule removed, and Fig. 6 a plan of top thereof.
We use a pair of half round bars A A¹ bent as shown at a a' and pivotted
together at band also to a shackle B. Each bar is hollow or gouge shaped from
the bends a a¹ to the top ends as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. On the sides of one
bar A one or more projections pare formed, and in the other corresponding
recesses p' pl; the free ends are screwed with a continuous thread for a certain
distance as shown at T, and for the screw a pair of nuts N N₁ are provided.
A ferrule F preferably tapered is also provided and these parts complete the clamp.
In use the nuts N N₁ and ferrule F are removed, the wire end W passed
between the hinged gouge bars A A' which are then closed, the ferrule F slipped
over them, and the nuts N N' screwed down tight. The wire is then absolutely
secured.
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 clamp for fastening wire constructed substantially as above specified consisting
of two gouge shaped bars such as A A' hinged together and screwed externally
and adapted to grip the wire between them, and secured by the ferrule and nuts in
the manner set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Pressure Gauges.
We, HENRY BRIER, of 13 Ailsa Drive, Langside, in the County of Renfrew,
Engineer, and THE SCOTCH AND IRISH OXYGEN COMPANY (LIMITED) Rosehill
Works, Polmadie, in the County of Renfrew, 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 pressure gauges for indicating the pressure of
gas on its passage from a cylinder or other pressure vessel to and through a
regulator or automatic or other reducing valve, has for its object to simplify the
connections and lessen the cost of fitting such gauges.
To that end, instead of connecting the gauge to the pressure cylinder or to
a branch on the pipe leading therefrom to the regulating valve in the usual
way, it is made integral with or connected to form part of the said pipe or
passage.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, Figure 1 is a
vertical section of the pressure gauge shewing connections to cylinder, Figure 2 is
an elevation with the glass front and dial removed, and Figure 3 is a back view
of the same.
The pressure gauge is or may be in its general construction of the ordinary type
and is composed of a casing A enclosing a "Bourdon " tube B having attached to it
the usual indicating pointer. The Bourdon tube at its open end is connected to
an orifice C which is restricted in area as found necessary and is open to the
passage in a tube D coupled to the outlet pipe E on the cylinder or pressure
vessel and leading to the usual regulator or reducing valve which is connected at H,
the body of the gauge casing or that portion of it to which the Bourdon tube is
connected being formed in a piece with the said tube D or having the tubular
passage in it.
The casing A is provided with doors or flaps F adapted to open and
relieve the internal pressure in the event of leakage of gas the doors being normally
closed by light springs G.
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 pressure gauge for indicating gas pressure made integral with or connected
to form part of the passage from the gas cylinder or pressure vessel to the
regulator or reducing valve, substantially as described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.

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 lamps and lanterns for electric lighting and it is
particularly applicable to incandescent lamps.
My objects are to obtain from such lamps a white light, and also to provide a
means for decorating the lanterns or bulbs as the case may be.
In order to obtain the first result above named I make use of a porous mixture,
composed of ground marble, magnesia, or magnesium lime stone, turpentine and
methylated spirit, and I coat the lanterns of arc lamps or the bulbs of incandescent
lamps with this material thus giving the bulbs or the lanterns an opaque appearance
and producing a white light.
The surface of the lanterns or bulbs may have portions of the_composition
removed before it is set so as to form ornamental designs and thus I secure my
second object riz. the decoration of the bulb or lantern and at the same time the
production of the soft white light.
The proportions of the ingredients forming my composition may be as follows
1 lb. of marble dust, lb. of magnesia, 4 ozs. of limestone and pint of methylated
spirits and turpentine; these I have found satisfactory but I do not confine myself
exactly to such proportion.
