Improvements in the Manufacture of Radiant Tissue for Lamps.
I SAMUEL HENRY CROCKER of 31, Furnival Street, London, 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 the manufacture of gas burner attachments for
producing incandescent light from shreds obtained from a sheet composed of or
containing cellulose and suitable refractory materials, such as the oxides of
zirconium, erbium, lanthanum, silicon, or other metallic combinations well known
for the purpose. Suitable shreds may be obtained from paper which has been
prepared or "loaded" with kaolin, heavy spar, permanent white, alum, or other
substance or substances commonly used for such purpose, but I prefer to
substitute one or more of the refractory materials first mentioned for the
preparation or "loading" of the paper in order to secure slightly better results.
The shreds are formed into the most suitable shapes for attaching to the gas
burners and producing the most incandescence, with a given degree or quantity of
heat. To obtain this result I weave or interlace the shreds together, and thus
form a fabric which can be made up into hollow cones, pyramids, or such like
figures or the fabric may be used in a flat shape only. These shreds may be also
plaited in lengths or woven or twisted together upon a frame, so as to obtain a
hood or mantel of the required shape, without first weaving a fabric.
The shreds of paper containing these refractory materials or elements may be
arranged separately or conjointly upon a light frame, such as asbestos, platinum
wire, or the like, and the individual shreds or pieces of the fabric formed by them
may be secured together by a suitable cement. The organic matter contained in
the shreds is subsequently removed in the ordinary manner by burning.
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) Forming radiant tissue from shreds of paper made from cellulose prepared
or "loaded" with refractory or sufficiently heat resisting materials for the purpose
specified.
(2) Forming radiant tissue from shreds of paper prepared or "loaded" with
refractory or sufficiently heat resisting materials for the purpose specified.

WILLIAM GEORGE MULLETT 4 and 5 Ceronation Road Bristol Carriage
Builder. I 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 :-
In the perspective view shown on the annexed sheet of drawings A is an iron
rod with cranked ends and is attached under seat D by sockets screwed on to seat.
This rod A partly rotates by pressing the handle B against the spring C which,
causes the pins at the ends of the rod to leave the holes in the iron plates E which
are immediately over the ends of the rod and under the seat thus preventing the
seat tipping. This enables the seat to automatically fix itself in the position
required by the action of the spring C which pressing the handle B causes the
pins to pass into the nearest holes in the plates E when the seat is moved backwards
or forwards These plates E are securely screwed on to rebated fillets F which are
also firmly secured to sides of vehicles G angle plates H are attached to the seat
at each corner on the underside to act as guides on the rebated fillets F and the
whole is thus automatically retained and fixed in the position desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is

An Improved Intercepting Trap, with Sweeping-eye and Fresh Air
Inlet Combined.
I, FRANCIS GILES SMITH of 1 Chesholm Road Stoke Newington N. Builder
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 improved intercepting trap is especially designed for the purpose of
1. Doing away with the necessity of a "man-hole."
2. Affording, in case of stoppage, a ready means of clearing from the surface
by placing the sweeping arm at such an angle, and in such a position as will
allow of clearing from the surface, with drain machine at any depth.
3. Reducing the possibility of stoppage to a minimum by the improved shape
of section of the trap and the improved awitchback force of sewage flowing through
the heart-shaped or elliptical bottom of the trap.
By using an ordinary junction pipe a fresh-air inlet, and sweeping arm can be
combined.
To attain the above objects 1 provide :-
-
1. A glazed earthenware trap with circular inlet and outlet, as shown on
Sheet 2. A and B. The portion of such trap forming the dip is heart shaped or
elliptical, having its narrow curve at the bottom to lessen the amount of sediment
and also to increase the force of the sewage flowing through it. Sheet 2. C.
2. To further increase the force of the sewage flowing through the trap
I provide a switchback curve as shown in section of trap (Sheet 1. A to B.) to carry
the sewage off without sediment.
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 heart-shaped, or elliptical, or the like section of the trap.

Improvements in Machines for Washing Fabrics.
I, HERMANN SCHIEDGES, Machine Maker of 6 Monheimsallee, Aix-la-
Chapelle, 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 :-
My new washing-machine one form of which by way of example is shown in
section in the accompanying drawing possesses the advantages that it effects a
material diminution in the time required for washing as compared with machines
of the types hitherto known, and that it effects a better cleansing result, while
retaining all the advantages of the ordinary washing-machines.
The manner in which the new advantages are gained is by subjecting the
fabric G to the squeezing action of one, two, or more stampers f, reciprocating in a
vertical direction on the bottom of the washing trough where the fabric lies in
folds in the wash-lye or other liquid, after it has passed between the ordinary
squeezing rollers a and b. In particular, it is by thus compressing the piece in
folds in the liquid that an effective cleansing is most rapidly attained.
The motion of this cleansing-apparatus is effected by the driving shaft g by
means of the crank-pin h, which engages in the slot of the lever and causes it to
rock on the fixed pivot k, while its opposite arms m, working in the slotted heads
of the stamps or pressers f, alternately raise the latter, which, therefore, then fall
again upon the piece lying in folds on the bottom of the wash-trough.
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 ;-
A washing machine for fabrics in which the cleansing process is shortened and
more quickly and thoroughly effected by submitting the folds of the fabric in the
lye or liquid to the squeezing action or pressing of two stampers for their
equivalents alternately raised and allowed to fall on the bottom of the wash-
trough.

Improvements in Tipping Waggons or Trolleys.
GEORGE KNOWLING 12 Spring Grove, Kew Bridge, Chiswick, in the County
of Middlesex, 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 mainly to vehicles used for taking manure collecting fruit,
or other purposes between trees or other narrow places where ordinary vehicles
will not turn.
For this purpose I construct a narrow waggon, that can be drawn or steered
from either end by changing the shafts from one end to the other thus avoiding the
necessity of turning round the waggon.
This is accomplished by using two under carriages, to which the axles are fixed,
each carriage being attached to the pillars by the usual perch or centre pin turning
freely on or about same.
To the wheel plates of each carriage I secure the ends of two chains which cross
each other at the centre thus when one carriage is turned on its centre it draws
the other with it, inclining the axles at equal angles, to the frame and turning the
waggon in an easy compass.
For the purpose of unloading the waggon I make the body in such form that it
can be tipped at either end over or between the wheels by the use of gearing levers
or as described in the annexed sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1st is a plan of the under carriages showing the arrangement for steering.
Fig. 2nd is a side elevation with the body in position and tipped up as shown in
the dotted lines.
To the frame A is fixed the pillars B the usual perch pin C passing through the
centre of these pillars.
To the under carriages are fixed the axles and wheel plates D the chains E are
fixed at each end of the wheel plates D it will be thus seen that if either carriage
is turned on the centre perch pins C it draws the other carriage with it, and the
wheels occupy the position as shown in the dotted lines Fig. 1, in turning.
For unloading I make the body (in this case) as shown in Fig. 2 separate from
the frame A and resting on the friction rollers, G, secured to the frame A by the
pin H. When these pins are released the body is pushed along the frame A until
the centre is near the end rollers G against the stop K when it will over balance
and tip of its own weight.
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 1
claim is
1st. Steering the waggon from either end by chains attached to the under
carriages.
2nd. Tipping the body, over or between the wheels, at either end of the waggon.
3rd. The combination of the parts arranged and operating substantially as shown
and described.

1, HERMANN EBNER of 17 Alicestrasse, Darmstadt, Germany, Manager, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to the cleaning of the sieves of plansifters or horizontally
swinging dressing machines from particles of meal clinging to and choking the
openings of the meshes of the said sieves, effectuated by means of a new brush
arrangement as hereafter described.
This brush-arrangement is shown on the accompanying drawing in which
represents
Fig. 1 a section of the sieve with the brush arrangement
Fig. 2 a side-view of the brush
Fig. 3 a plan of the brush.
At a small distance below the sieve clothing a a perforated bottom C is placed'
so as to allow the sifted material to drop through the perforations. This bottom is
divided by cross-partitions into several parts, forming with the sieve frames d'
divers close compartments underneath the sifting-cloth.
Within each of these compartments are placed one or several loose brushes b,.
which are fitted on elastic, angular plates made of india-rubber, leather or other
like material in a special way, so that they turn their points upwards and gently
touch the sieve-clothing.
When the sieve is set in swinging or rotary motion at a certain speed these
brushes are not able to follow the movement of the bottom on which they loosely
lie, but under the influence of their natural inertia in collision with the movement
of the base they are thrown against the side partitions and knocked back again all
round the compartment thus touching successively the whole of the lower surface.
of the sieve.
This movement is assisted by the elastic material of the body of the brushes and
their special angular shape (see Figures 2 and 3).
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:
Swinging flat dressing sieves fitted below the sieve-clothing and close to it with
perforated bottom sheets on which are placed loosely flat brushes with elastic
bottom plates of angular shape made of india-rubber, leather or other like material
in a manner that when the sieve is set in motion they are thrown about within the
compartments formed by side partitions and thus touch the underside of the sieve--
clothing in order to prevent the choking of the meshes, as described.

с
The filling aperture is placed at the rear of the kettle and has a rim c which
descends into the interior as shown. The rim c is so shaped or placed as to
diminish its projection into the kettle from the point d down to the point e as
shown, so that when pouring out water or liquid through the spout f, the rim will
prevent the liquid from overflowing; but when the water is poured out of the
filling aperture, it can readily be done as the rim does not descend at the point e
thus facilitating the emptying of the kettle.

this shield partly encircles the filling aperture and is formed as shown in the
drawings as integral with the handle, being a continuation of the material forming
the handle which is so cut and shaped as to form the shield or guard.
The metal forming the handle is so shaped or cut and bent so as to form the

Manufacturer's Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
-
My invention relates to ornamenting show-cards, Christmas & birthday-cards,
names & prices of articles, figures, and the like by cutting out (say for instance
the lettering of a show-card) and by lighting the cut-out part from behind by
reflecting light from either a white or coloured circus made of a shining paper
such as tin-foil or some other suitable material.
This method of lighting up is of course applicable to all sorts and subjects of
show-cards and the like, in many different ways; thus you may light up the saloon
of a steamer on a show-card, the lights of the masts, the stars, eyes of birds
& other animals, the window of a hut and so on.

facturer's Agent, 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 ornamenting of showcards, birthday cards, and other articles, is according
to this new method to be done by cutting out letters, figures and the like in such
a way, that either the letters themselves, or, if they are painted or printed, the
supposed shadow thereof, is cut out and a sufficiently large piece of a bright-shining
paper such as for instance tin-foil, white or coloured, is then attached at the back
of the article in the way of a light-reflector, thus causing a beautifully illuminating
effect.
In this manner one may light up the windows of a church, house or steamer ;

Improvements in and relating to Driving Mechanism for
Velocipedes.
I, CHARLES GEORGES BEAUVAIS, of 43 Rue Richer, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Lapidary, 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 driving mechanism for velocipedes.
For the purpose of increasing the way passed over in each turn of the pedal in
bicycles, tricycles, tandems or any other velocipede, I have devised, in order to
avoid giving too great dimensions to the driving wheel a double multiplying system
which may be adapted to ordinary machines or to machines receiving a slightly
modified form.
Sheet I represents a bicycle to which I have applied my system.
The toothed driving wheel keyed on the pedal shaft imparts its movements by a
chain to a pinion secured to a second toothed wheel.
This second wheel, by another chain, gives movement to the pinion keyed upon
the rear wheel.
The system of comprising the intermediate wheel and pinion is firmly fixed to the
frame by the three rods A, B, C.
These rods have for their object to secure the axis about which the wheel and
pinion turn.
Sheet I represents a bicycle of special construction enabling the driving wheel
the intermediate system and the rear pinion to be placed in the same line.
The arrangement of the pedal shaft is similar to that of actual velocipedes ;
a second box with ball bearings comprised between the two branches of the rear
fork and similar to that of the pedal shaft receives the shaft of the intermediate
system.
The characteristic feature of the invention lies in the combination of a second
multiplying system similar to that of ordinary velocipedes with the old multiplying
system, thus doubling the development of the machines.
It will of course be understood that I may make my improved driving mechanism
of any forms, proportions, dimensions and materials, and apply the same to velocipedes
of any description.

An Improvement in Casements.
Year: 1895

An Improvement in Casements.
I, ERNEST HENRY ABBOTT of 6 -Warwick Court, Gray's Inn, in the County of
Middlesex, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to the construction of a casement and its hinges in such a
manner that the outside of the glass can be rendered easily accessible for cleaning
from the interior, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan shewing a casement mounted
according to my invention in position for cleaning the exterior.
The casement A is pivotted above and below at B and C on arms D and E which
are hinged to the window frame at one side. Usually the side a of the casement
frame is folded back to the hinge at a¹ where it is secured by a screw a³ or other
removeable fastening. In this condition the casement can be swung outwards or
inwards upon the hinges. When it is desired to clean the exterior, the side a is
released, and then the casement can be turned upon its pivots B and C to such a
position as to render the outside of the glass accessible from the interior of the
building.
I prefer to provide on the top of the sash frame a pin F which can slide along a
slot provided in the head of the window frame, this preventing the casement, when
it is released, from swinging too far outwards. A notch fallows the pin F to pass
out of the slot on opening the window.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Pivotting a casement on arms hinged to one side of the. window frame,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

New or improved Fastening for Umbrella Cases.
I, JOHN FORBES, of 11 Harrington Square, in the County of London, Clerk,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention has for its object a simple and efficient fastening for the cases of
umbrellas.
My fastening is formed of a ring constructed in two segments hinged together
end to end and so shaped at their free ends that these will overlap when the
fastening so formed is closed.
To one of these segments a flat or other suitable spring is so secure that its
free end acts upon the joint and retains the two segments in an open and closed
position as required.
The accompanying drawings illustrate a fastening constructed according to my
invention attached to a cover of ordinary form, shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1
representing said fastening closed, and Fig. 2 it open.
The fastening consists of two segments a a¹ hinged together end to end and so
shaped at their opposite free ends that these latter will overlap when the fastening
is closed as illustrated in Fig. 1.
To one of these segments a spring is secured by rivetting or otherwise, so that
its free end presses upon reduced portion a² of the segment a¹- -on one side
when the fastening is open, and on the opposite side when the fastening is closed-
thus retaining the fastening in an open or closed position as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A fastening for umbrella cases formed of two segments a a¹ and spring 6 arranged
constructed and operating substantially as described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings.

Improved Shears for Outting Sheet Metal.
I, JOHANN GUSTAV KRUGER of 96 Hafenstrasse, Hamburg St. Pauli,.
Germany, Machinist, 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 so construct a pair of shears that sheet metal
of about an inch in thickness can be readily cut.
Heretofore this could not be done without the aid of a very heavy pair of shears
and the expenditure of considerable force.
The invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
To the arms b, which form prolongations of the blades a a, are jointed the hand
levers c (for actuating the shears) whose short bent arms are connected together by
the pin or pivot d.
The action of these shears, which are manipulated in the ordinary manner, can be.
readily understood from the drawing.
Owing to the leverage developed between the arms b and levers c thick metal
sheets can be cut through with a comparatively small expenditure of force.
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. Shears for cutting metal characterized by hand levers which are jointed to
each other and to arms forming prolongations of the cutting blades, substantially
as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed.
2. Shears for cutting sheet metal constructed substantially as hereinbefore-
described and as shown on the drawings annexed.
