IMPROVEMENTS IN ACCORDEONS OR CONCERTINAS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the City of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
ACCORDEONS OR CONCERTINAS, a communication to me from abroad by the firm of
L. A Klepzig Manufacturers of 18, Katharinenstrasse, Leipzig, in the Kingdom of
Saxony, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The accordeon or concertina represented in the accompanying drawing, Figs. 1
to 6, is characterized by the use of a pin barrel which acts on the valves, and
which is set in motion by mechanism composed as follows:
The barrel A, which can be made adjustable for containing several pieces, carries
the worm-wheel B into which gears the worm b.
The axle of the worm b is provided with a bevel wheel c and carries furthermore
the crank d. The crank d is turned by means of lever f and pusher g, and this
motion is transmitted by another bevel wheel to the fly-wheel axle / so as to
obtain a uniform motion.
For the purpose of stopping the mechanism of the barrel A at any desired
moment, the instrument is provided with a lever i adapted to be lifted by a
spring k, whenever the trigger is disengaged. The end i of the lever rests against
the revolving crank and thereby prevents the turning of the worm and the barrel ;
a friction-retaining mechanism permits the fly wheel to come gradually to a
standstill, and allows the same to be turned forward and backward without
influence on the mechanism.
By means of the rail m the keys n are pressed downward and their pins
placed beyond the reach of the pins of the barrel, so that the latter may be shifted.
Instead of operating the barrel by trigger g and lever f, it may be set in motion
by a lever connected with a string and a spring barrel o, see Figs 5 and 6.
By drawing or expanding the bellows of the accordeon, the string p is pulled,
the lever q set in motion, and the spring barrel o is turned by means of the pawl r
of the lever q so as to coil up the spring.
The counter pawls prevents the spring barrel from receding, and the spring t
draws the lever q back into its previous position.

page_text: The uncoiling of the spring is rendered uniform by the fly-wheel, which is
equally coupled with a friction retaining mechanism.
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 concertinas or accordeons:
1. The application of a pin barrel for mechanically reproducing pieces of music.
2. The mechanism for operating the pin barrel, comprising a pusher g, lever f,
crank d, shaft b and a fly wheel.
3. The mechanism for operating the shaft b, comprising a spring, pawl-lever q
with string p and a fly-wheel.
4. The combination of the barrel A, with hook u, and screw spindle v for
altering the position of the barrel.
The whole substantially as described and illustrated.

A CLOSET AND DUST BIN COMBINED
Year: 1884

page_text: JOHN ENNALS Surveyor and Sanitary Inspector Surveyor's Office West Malling
Kent do hereby declare the nature of iny invention for A CLOSET AND DUST BIN
COMBINED, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The structure much resembles the ordinary privy, without a cesspool, it is all
above the ground line, thus preventing any soakage, which is often the seat of
much evil.
The floor is raised one step, the bottom of receptacle is three inches of concrete,
coated with cement, having a slight incline towards the front to encourage the
moisture to draw where the dust falls. Thus the urine is absorbed and the excreta
dcodorised.
The front of receptacle is 44" brickwork, 9" high above ground line, plastered
with cement, and cut at an angle on the top to receive a piece of slate, which runs
to top of riser, and serves as a conductor to the receptacle.
The seat forms a lid for the dust bin, being hung with butt hinges, which is
easily lifted, and is as firm as a fixed seat when closed. At the back is a door or
flap hung on hinges, to admit of its being easily emptied, as the contents being
quite innoxious can be taken out with a shovel, and remoyed in a basket or
barrow.
Over the door are louvre boards which, with a small opening above the plate at
back between rafters will cause a free circulation of air above head, and always
keep the place perfectly sweet.
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 privy and dust-bin-combined consisting of a receptacle, above the
ground, of which the lid forms the seat, and which has a flap at the back for
the purpose of emptying it, substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CONTINUOUS BRAKES FOR TRICYCLES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES CARVER, of Alfred Street Mills, in the Town and County of the Town
of Nottingham, Machinist, do hereby doclare the nature of iny Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN CONTINUOUS BRAKES FOR TRICYCLES," and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :——
Figure 1 is a plan of my improvements as applied to a tricycle, alewing the
relative position of the several parts, when the brake strap is held clear of the
brake pulley.
Figure 2, a plan of the same, shewing the relative position of the several parts,
when the brake strap is firmly clasping the brake pulley.
Figure 3 is a side view of a stop catch referred to hereafter, and
Figure 4 is a side view of the several parts when in the position shewn in plan
at Figure 1.
The corresponding parts in each figure are indicated by the same letters where
necessary. Near one of the handles of the guiding rod A of a tricycle, on tho rod,
I secure a toothed ratchet lever B, and between it, and the centre of the length of
the rod, I secure a boss C which projects at the front to form a bearing for the
axle pin of a rocking lover D the inner end of this lever takes into the upper end
of a rocking lover E, to the lower end of which the brake strap of the tricycle is
attached, the strap being held clear of the brake pulley when in the position shown
at Figure 1, being held in such position by the inner end of a spring D', carried by
the lover D prossing upon the guiding rod A. The outer end of the lover forms a
handle by which the rider upon pulling it towards him is enabled to put the
requisite pressure upon the brake wheel, such pressure being retained by a stop
catch F engaging with one or other of the teeth of the lover B. The stem of the
stop catch slides in a slot in the lever D, and carries a pin in its outer end, round
this pin a spring is coiled, which pressing at one end on the stop catch, and at the
opposite end onto the outer end of the slot keeps the catch in a line with the teeth
of the ratchet lever, but upon the rider pressing the catch to the right of the teeth,
the spring D' presses the handle of the lever from him, and instantly takes the
pressure of the brake strap off the brake pulley. Beneath the ratchet lever I place

page_text: a plate shown by dotted lines at Figures 1 and 2 and secure the ends of the plate
to the underside of the lever D, this plate prevents the spring catch from being
jerked clear of the teeth of the ratchet lever when in use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained my said Invention, and in
what manner tho samo is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is, the
construction and employment of a continuous brake for tricycles, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated in the Drawings annexed.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY POTS

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, JOHN JOHNSTON GREEN of Horley Green Fire Clay Works, Halifax in the
County of York, Sanitary Tube Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my
Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY POTS" 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 clay chimney pots, my improvements therein
consisting in forming hexagon or octagon shaped louvers at the top thereof, which
may be used alone, or in combination with a metal cowl.
The shaft of the chimney pot may be square, octagonal, or of other form having
at its upper end hexagon or octagon shaped louvers, whilst the cowl which is fitted
on the top thereof is also louver shaped in the centre, but convex at the top and
bottom parts.
In order that my Invention may be better understood, I herein give reference
to the accompanying Sheet of Drawings wherein Fig. 1 is elevation, Fig. 2 vertical
section, and Fig. 3 plan of a chimney pot constructed according to my Invention.
A is the shaft or base of the chimney pot having hexagon or octagon shaped
louvers B at its upper end, and C is the metal cowl which fits into slots or on a
shoulder formed on the top of the said shaft, the said cowl also being hexagonal or
octagonal in form at the part marked D, but convex at the top and bottom parts
marked E.
By making the louvers hexagon, or octagon in shape the wind more freely enters
the openings of the said louvers, thereby assisting the smoke out at the top of the
chimney more effectually than is possible with round louvers, as the wind is at
liberty to enter the louvers the full width of each flat side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,
The employment in a chimney pot of hexagon or octagon louver terminals, either
alone or in combination with a hexagon or octagon cowl, in manner and for
purposes substantially as herein shewn and described.

I WILLIAM-DAY of Longton in the County of Stafford Brickmaker. do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN KILNS FOR BURNING
BRICKS AND OTHER ARTICLES" to be as follows:
This invention has for its object improvements in kilns for burning bricks and
other articles.
For this purpose I construct a kiln of a circular form in horizontal cross section
and with three or it might be other number of firing holes at equal distances apart
around its circumference. From each firing hole I lead a number of flues preferably
three radiating away from one another below the kiln floor and each flie at its
end I make to open into the body of the kiln through a hole in the floor. *
+
Through the floor and near to the kiln walls I also make a number of other
holes which lead downwards into a smoke flue by which the products of combustion
are conveyed away.
The advantages obtained by this construction of kilo are that a smaller number
of fire holes may be used than in other kilns and that less fuel is required to heat.
them-also that the distribution of heat is more even and that less time has to-be
occupied in firing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I GEORGE DOWNING of N° 8 Quality Court Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE APPLICATION OF VULCANISED INDIA RUBBER EBONITE OR
VULCANITE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF LAMP RESERVOIRS OF ONE PIECE AND
WITH OR WITHOUT SCREW THREADS FOR THE RECEPTION OF THE BURNER 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 said Invention is to produce perfectly tight basins or
reservoirs of great durability for illuminating oils, hydrocarbons or other
illuminating fluids.
:
The unpleasent or disagreeable sweating of the ordinary glass and metallic
reservoirs for petroleum or other hydrocarbons caused by the said volatile or semi-
volatile oils penetrating through the pores of the glass or metal, generally brass, is
well known.
The said petroleum or hydrocarbon also escapes at the junction of the so called
vase ring i.e. the ring with screw threads, hooks or catches, cemented or otherwise
attached to the receptacle reservoir or basin to receive the burner.
'
These defects are entirely prevented by employing my improved reservoirs,
basins or receptacles made from vulcanised india rubber ebonite or vulcanite. A
further advantage attained by employing my said improved reservoirs or receptacles
of vulcanised india rubber, ebonite or vulcanite is that the said material being a
bad or non conductor the reservoirs basins or receptacles remain cool so that the
cooperation of the illuminating fluid is prevented.
The same are also much lighter and more durable than reservoirs, basins or
receptacles made from glass or other material and can be operated on much easier

page_text: than the materials heretofore employed for such purposes as the vulcanised rubber
ebonite or vulcanite can be polished, etched, engraved varnished, enamelled or
treated in other suitable 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 claim is
The application of vulcanised india rubber ebonite or vulcanite for the
manufacture of the reservoirs, basins or receptacles of lamps cooking apparatus and
such like with or without screw threads or their equivalent for attachment to the
burner whereby the said reservoirs, basins or receptacles are made of one piece and
so that all sweating of the same or all penetration of petroleum or hydrocarbon
through the same is prevented substantially as described in the foregoing
Specification.
AN APPLIANCE FOR SHAPING FLY CUTTERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, WILLIAM TIGHE HAMILTON, M.A., of Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "AN APPLIANCE FOR SHAPING
FLY CUTTERS," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Its novelty lies in the employment of a steel cone, armed with longitudinal
teeth, which by its revolution will properly curve the sides of fly cutters used in
forming the intervals between the teeth of wheels for any pitch within the limits
of the cone.
Its utility lies in effecting this object by mechanism rather than by the aid of
drawings and manual labour which could not accomplish this with the high degree
of exactness requisite for such work.
In the annexed Drawings A Fig. 1 shows the cone placed in its bearings B. B¹
in order to have its longitudinal teeth cut: S is the shank to be inserted into the
spindle of a milling or like machine, when shaping the fly cutters C is the milling.
cutter carried in like manner for cutting the longitudinal teeth in the cone.. These
longitudinal teeth are marked 1, 2, 3, etc. The line a. y is that of the milling
machine table; whilst the line M. M. shows the shape of a fixing which carries
the bearings B-B¹ of the cone.
A suitable angle for the cone is 85° from its base which angle also backs off the
fly cutters when the cone is used as hereinafter explained.
The end P is a little higher than the end P¹ in order to allow a greater width
and depth of cut at the base of the cone than at the apex.
The use of the cone may be briefly described thus: When fixed in the spindle
of a milling machine the vertical lines marked e show the points to which the
faces of the fly cutters are to be brought in order to give the degree of curvature
proper for the desired pitch.
These pitches are marked in sixteenths on the side of the cone.
It is obvious that the distance from the base to the apex of the cone provides
the various diameters of rolling circles at the several vertical lines.
The pitch may always be taken as equal to the diameter of the rolling circle.
In Fig. 2. of the accompanying Drawings a front view of the cone is shewn at L,
when shaping one side of the fly cutter, Z, whilst the dotted circle L¹ shows the
same end of the cone, when operating to give the like curvature to the other side
of the fly cutter.
An adjustable stop regulates the same entry in each case.

page_text: The fly-cutters can be mounted on any convenient block or bearing to carry
them in and out till stopped.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is -The employment of a steel cone armed with longitudinal teeth, for
giving to fly cutters by its revolution, at certain points, the degree of curvature
proper for the teeth of wheels, of any desired pitch, as above explained.

impurities I reduce it to an impalpable powder and I combine therewith about
25 per cent, more or less, of carbolic acid thereby producing a carbolate or sulpho-
carbolate of lime which can be employed in lieu of that hitherto manufactured with
more expensive ingredients and processes.
Having incorporated these ingredients by spade labour or by other means I then
pass the mixture by aid of steam or other power through a Carr's Patent
Disintegrator Machine, or other suitable apparatus and thereby obtain a perfectly
homogenous powder of fine quality, the result being a carbolate or a sulpho-
carbolate of lime or carbolic powder.
This New Carbolic Powder is most efficient in use and most economical in price.
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 manufacture of carbolate of lime or carbolic powder by the employ-
ment of the refuse lime of gas works treated as above described as a base, to
which the necessary proportion of carbolic acid is added substantially as herein
described.

from Coal and other Substances and for the Distillation of
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I STEPHEN ADAMS of 25 Olga Street Old Ford in the County of Middlesex
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
SELF SEALING MOUTHPIECES AND LIDS FOR RETORTS STILLS AND GENERATORS FOR THE
PRODUCTION OF GAS FROM COAL AND OTHER SUBSTANCES ALSO FOR DISTILLATION
OF LIQUIDS AND OTHER CHEMICAL VAPOURS and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
"
My Invention consists of a collar or pad to form a seal made of pure Asbestos
spun or plaited into square or round cord the same collar or pad to be inserted in
a dovetail or elongated groove either in face of lid or mouthpiece as may be
required.
I also claim in my invention the covering the core of Asbestos with fine metal
wire when required either by binding or braiding the same so as to protect the fibres
of the Asbestos from being drawn from the collar or pad by adhering to either lid
or mouthpiece when opening the lid for drawing charges of tarry gummy or
cohesive substances which are the residue from substances which the gases or vapour
may be produced from. The same seal to be applicable for sealing of covers of
ascension pipes of retorts and sealing the covers of escape and discharge valves for
stills and generators.
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 use of Asbestos cord or plait for making collar or pad for the self sealing
of gas retort mouthpieces and lids and mouthpieces of stills covers of
generators also covers and seats of valves for Chemical and other uses.
2. The binding or braiding of the Asbestos cord or core with metal wire for the
making of collar or pad or packing.
3. Securing the said collar pad or packing by inserting the same in dovetail
elongated or oval or segmental groove in face of lid or face of mouthpiece or
in face of valve cover or seat.

IMPROVEMENT IN CURB BITS
Year: 1884

page_text: I GEORGE CRADDOCK of N° 378 Gray's Inn Road, Kings Cross, in the County
of Middlesex, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENT IN CURB BITS to be as follows:-
In place of the lower part of the ordinary Carb Bit which has two or more
fixed rings or slots to which the reins are fastened, I make a moveable keyhole
ring which slides up or down the bar of the Bit at pleasure, a ring is placed on the
other side of this keyhole ring to receive the reins. I make a straight bar of
suitable sections so as to allow the keyhole portion of the ring to slide up or
down freely. On the front part of this bar are also made notches at varying
distances, at each of these the ring which slides freely up or down may be turned
round and it then becomes a fixture. The bar of the Bit is finished off with a
knob to prevent the keyhole ring slipping off.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LOCK SPINDLES AND IN THE METHOD OF ATTACHING THE SAME TO KNOBS AND HANDLES
Year: 1884

page_text: I ERNEST WENTWORTH BULLER of Sherlock Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN LOCK SPINDLES AND IN THE METHOD OF ATTACHING THE
SAME TO KNOBS AND HANDLES and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,
reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed and to the letters and
Figures marked thereon that is to say :-
This Invention refers firstly to the construction of an improved lock spindle and
secondly to a new form of set screw to be employed with such spindle or with
other well known form of spindle.
Referring to the Drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved
spindle bored as is shewn completely through its thickness in a diagonal direction
the borings being countersunk at either cad so closely that very little space is left
between the countersinkings, so that wherever the screw is entered it will find its
way into a hole, the utility of this will presently be shewn. Figure 2 represents
a taper pointed set screw which when passed through the neck or mount of the
knob protrudes sufficiently at its point before it is screwed home to feel the hole in
the spindle. If it happen to be exactly over the centre of a hole in a straight
bored spindle as shewn in Figure 3 it is at once screwed home and penetrates the
spindle to such a depth that shaking loose becomes almost an impossibility-if on
the contrary the point of the set screw strikes the countersinking screwing it home
will slightly bend the set screw as shewn in Figure 4. and thus ensure a still firmer
hold.
By employing the diagonally bored spindle shewn in Figures 1 and 5. an
additional advantage is gained beyond the mere point of security namely extreme
accuracy of adjustment for as the axis of the holes is not at right angles to the line
of the spindle it follows that by turning the spindle over an extra step of adjustment
is gained equal to a half space only instead of a whole one this although it has
been done with partially bored spindles has never been attempted with spindles
bored entirely through nor indeed is it possible to effect it except by the diagonal
boring.

page_text: Figure 6 shews the application of my tapered set screw to securing the bush
upon spindles in which it is required to use one.
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
Firstly. The improved form of spindle bored entirely through its thickness in
a diagonal line.
Secondly. I claim the tapered form of set screw by which greater security facility
of attachment and accuracy of adjustment are obtained and
Thirdly. I claim the combination of a tapered pointed set screw with a spindle
bored through and countersunk as shewn in the Drawings.
