Improved Bottle Washing Brush.
JAMES WILLIAM NATHAN, 76 and 78, Three Colt Street, Limehouse, London,
E., Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This brush is specially designed for washing the insides of bottles jars or jam
pots; the invention consists of a spiral bottle brush made of two tubes twisted
5 on one another so as to hold the bristles forming the brush and give a clear
course for the water into the bottle.
JAMES WILLIAM NATHAN, 76 and 78, Three Colt Street, Limehouse, E.,
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 brush is specially designed for washing the inside of bottles, jars or jam
pots; the invention consists of a spiral bottle brush made of two tubes twisted
on one another so as to hold the bristles forming the brush, and give a clear
course for the water into the bottle.
For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:-
Figure 1, is a side elevation of a brush constructed according to my invention,
part of the bristles being removed for purposes of clearness.
Figure 2, a side elevation partly in section.
The bristles a are carried by the hollow tubes 6 which are twisted together as
shewn, the ends of these tubes terminating in apertures e so arranged as to direct
a jet of water into the corner of the bottle when the brush is in same, a being
dotted lines representing the bottle. The tubes are carried in the holder e in
any convenient manner such as by soldering or cement and the holder is carried
in a chuck of any convenient construction so as to permit water to pass through
the end of the bottle d. Although for purposes of illustration I have shewn
the particular form of twisting of the tubes carrying the bristles it will be readily
understood that I do not confine myself to this particular form, as there are
other forms which might be equally efficacious without departing from my
invention. It will be seen, that when the brush is rotated in the bottle and a
supply of water forced therein the cleaning of the bottle is greatly facilitated.

Improvements in and connected with Lasts.
I, EDWARD PENTON, of the Firm of E. Penton & Son, 1 to 11, Mortimer Street,
in the City of London, Leather Merchants, 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 consists in the construction, and application to lasts, of an
improved fastener for securing the block or instep portions of lasts to the foot
portions thereof, the object of the invention being to provide a fastener of this
kind which is simpler and capable of being more expeditiously operated than
fasteners as heretofore constructed.
In the accompanying drawing:-
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved fastener; and,
Figure 2 is a side view of the same:
Figure is a plan view shewing the last with the fastener applied to it; and
Figure 4 is a sectional side elevation;
Figure 5 is a plan view of the block portion of the last detached.
My improved fastener consists of a disc a having upon one side of it a tongue b
and which is stamped so that the said tongue has a different level from the disc a,
as will be clearly understood by reference to Figures 1 and 2.
In the top of the last ca recess dis formed adapted to receive the disc a, as
clearly shewn in Figures 3 and 4, and through a hole e in the said fastener a
screw or pin f is inserted for holding the screw in the recess and forming a pivot
upon which the said fastener can turn. The position of the said fastener must
bear such relation to the block portion g, that when the fastener is in the position
shewn in Figures 3 and 4, the tongue b will bear upon the upper surface of the
block g as shewn. The recess d is in such a position upon the fast that it extends
somewhat into the rear end of the block g, as shewn in Figure 5, and practically
forms two horns h, h which embrace the disc and so prevent the lateral movement
of the block relatively with the foot portion c.
A hole is formed in the tongue 6 for receiving the end of a screw driver or
tommy by means of which the fastener may be turned in order to remove the
said tongue out of contact with the block and thereby permit the removal of the
latter and vice versa.
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 improved fastener for securing the block or instep portions of lasts,
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
.

A New or Improved Bridle or Cover for Paint and similar
Brushes.
I, OTTO WANKE, of 14, Krukenbergstrasse, Halle a/Saale, Saxony, Germany,
Master Painter, 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 present invention relates to a bridle or cover of rubber or other suitable
material which is intended to cover the bristles of a paint or similar brush like the
string binding or wrapping heretofore usually employed. The rubber bridle or cover
is designed to enable the paint to be spread or applied in any desired manner, thinly
or thickly, with ease and rapidity, and also to allow of readily exposing the bristles
by stripping or pushing back the bridle or cover.
The annexed drawings illustrate in
Figure 1 a brush with the rubber bridle or cover applied thereto, and in
Figures 2 and 3, the brush and the bridle or cover, separated from each other.
The bridle or cover (Figure 3) is slipped over the handle c (Figure 2) of the brush,
and is opened out with the fingers to enable it to pass over the retaining ring d; it
is then drawn further over the bristles a, as shown in Figure 1.
The bristles a are held firmly together by the bridle or cover b which has thus
been slipped on. When it is desired to quickly render the bristles a capable of
taking up larger or smaller quantities of paint or the like, the bridle or cover b is
pushed further back or more forwards accordingly, that is to say, the distance
between the edges e and i (Figure 1) is made larger or smaller. By rolling up the
edge e in the direction of the arrow the bristles a can be easily and quickly freed from
the bridle or cover b which has been slipped on.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
(1) A paint or similar brush characterized by a bridle or cover b of rubber or the
like, slipped over the bristles or hair a, the arrangement being such that by pushing
the said bridle or cover backwards or forwards the bristles can be exposed more or
less, as set forth.
(2) A bridle or cover for paint and like brushes, substantially as herein before
described and shown.

Improvements in and concerning Lifeboats and the like.
I, FRIEDRICH LÜRSSEN, of Aumund-Vegesack, near Bremen, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to improvements in and concerning lifeboats, barges,
ships boats and the like, and has for its object to provide an improved type of
boat construction, the product of which is characterised by a maximum of strength
combined with a minimum weight.
For this purpose I dispense with the usual frames and merely effect a secure
connection between the keel and the stem and stern posts.
In carrying this invention into effect I employ pliant planks of 2 to 4 inches
width and of ¼ to ½ inch thickness, extending across the boat and running
frem gunwale to gunwale.
Upon these cross planks which are laid two to four inches apart, I secure a
flooring consisting of carvel-work the longitudinal planks of which extend from
stem to stern. This carvel-work is then covered with a waterproof skin stretched
thereon.
In the accompanying drawings, a specimen of the improved boat-type is shown,
Fig. 1 representing a sectional elevation through the centre of the keel;
Fig. 2 being a top view of the left hand-half of the interior of the boat.
Fig. 3 being a bottom plan of one half of the boat.
As may be seen in the drawings, a are the pliant planks running across the
boat from gunwale to gunwale; the planks of the carvelwork running from
stem to stern. c is the waterproof skin which may consist of tarred canvas or the
like and which is stretched and secured upon the carvelwork flooring and fastened
on both sides to the gunwale. d indicates the keelson; e are the usual gun-
wales provided for the protection of the upper part of the boat.
By constructing the boat according to my improved type, it is strong enough
to stand any shock of the waves and at the same time its weight will not exceed
half that of similar boats built on the old-fashioned lines. Moreover, this
improved type of boat-construction offers the advantage of being easily cleaned
and, if necessary, repaired. It may be worthy of mention that such boat cannot
become leaky and on account of its pliability, will resist the heavy sea better than
wooden or iron boats.
The improved construction may, of course, be completed by the usual accessories
such as decking, rowlocks, masts, oars and so forth.
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 improved type of boat-construction substantially as set forth and shown
in the drawings.

page_text: 2. The application of the improved type of boat-construction, to barges, life-
boats and ships' boats, substantially as set forth and shown in the drawings.

An Improvement in Saw Teeth.
I, CHARLES HENRY DOUGLAS, of No. 1028, Jackson Boulevard, City of Chicago,
County of Cook, State of Illinois, United States of America, Designer and
Inventor of Machinery, 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 an improvement in the teeth of saws, and the object is
to provide a saw that will cut easily and smoothly through timber of every kind,
either with or across the grain.
I attain this latter object more perfectly by the form and construction of saw
teeth herein described, and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a side view of part of a circular saw.
Figure 2 is an edge view.
Figure 3 is an enlarged edge view of one tooth.
Figure 4 is a cross-section of a tooth according to this invention.
The teeth are so formed that there is a clearance slope on the back of each tooth
of less than 10° from the cutting edge to the heel, which causes them to produce
shavings, instead of saw-dust. On one side say the left of the tooth there is a flat
rib A, which extends with clearance from the cutting point to the heel, and on the
opposite side is a bevel B. The next tooth in order has the rib A on the right and
the bevil B on the left side and so on alternately.
The front or cutting end of the tooth is inclined back from c to d at an angle of
about 75° from the face of A, so that the front edge c operates as a chisel giving a
shearing cut. The inclination of the line c d to A may vary between 88° and 60°
or less, according to the character of the work to be done.
The rib A inclines back from the point to the heel and at an angle of about 2°
or less.
Although teeth have been made with bevels they have never had bevels in
conjunction with the rib A, which is of great value in many kinds of work, especially
in cutting soft timber across the grain.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A saw tooth so formed that the back has a clearance slope of less than 10° from
the line of cut, that on the side there is a rib A sloping from the cutting edge to
the heel, and that there is a chisel cutting end inclined at less than 88° to the face
of the rib, substantially as described.

receives the food, the weight of which depresses the spring and distends the
bag. As the animal consumes the food, the weight being reduced enables the
spring to raise the bottom of inner bag with remainder of food nearer the mouth
of animal feeding.

Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Sheet Metal Tubes.
I, WILLY TRAPP, Engineer, of Styrum on the Ruhr, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to a new process for the manufacture of sheet metal tubes,
provided with longitudinal strengthening ribs, and is applicable to straight tubes,
as well as to angular or bent connecting pieces.
As illustrated by the accompanying drawings, each tube or connecting piece
is composed of two principal parts formed from a piece of sheet metal and then
welded or brazed together.
Fig. 1 is partly a side view and partly a longitudinal section of a straight tube
embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; Fig. 3 is a side
view and Fig. 4 a cross section of a T piece embodying my invention; Figs. 5
and 6 represent a bent connecting piece made by my process.
In the case of a straight tube, Figs. 1 and 2, each of the two halves A and B
has the shape of a semi-cylinder provided with two longitudinal ledges or flanges a,
or band is formed by pressing a flat piece of sheet metal between suitable moulds.
The two tubes are then laid one upon the other face to face and welded together,
so as to form a cylindrical tube provided with longitudinal ribs.
If the tubes are to be provided with flanges C, the latter may have two
diametrically opposite slots or recesses for admitting the longitudinal rims a, b,
and the ends of the tube may be bent down upon the flange, or flanges may be
formed at the ends of the tubes by pressure between suitable moulds, simultaneously
with or after the formation of the longitudinal rims, so that the flanges form part
of the tube. Instead of making the cross section of the tube circular, it may be
oval or of other suitable shape, and instead of composing each tube of two segments,
it may be composed of three or more segments joined together with their rims
and then welded.
The pieces of sheet metal serving as raw material may be cut or trimmed to the
exact size required either before or after the moulding.
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 process for the manufacture of sheet metal tubes, which consists in press-
ing suitably shaped pieces of sheet metal into segmental moulds, adapted to form
longitudinal rims or ledges, and then welding the moulded segments or pieces
together along their rims, substantially as described.
2. As a new article of manufacture, sheet metal tubes and connecting pieces
produced in the manner described,

For this purpose I employ halogen substitution products of hydroquinone,
Hydrotoluquinone pyrocatechine, pyrogallols, and hydronaphtoquinones for the
development of photographic pictures. These products are distinguished by the fact
that they develop quickly and very powerfully and are only in the slightest degree
affected by the temperature. They are thus capable of excellent service in
instantaneous photography and in the studio or laboratory.
The halogen products of substitution is as follows :—

A New or Improved Device for Regulating the Flow of Liquids
through Taps.
I, MAX FRIEDLANDER, of 79, Gracechurch Street, London, E.C., Merchant, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in, or connected with taps or cocks, and
is designed with the object of preventing the water or other liquid issuing from
such taps or cocks from splashing out in an uneven and broken stream, whereby
surrounding objects are damaged and spoiled through being splashed, and the
receiving of the liquid in a small mouthed vessel is rendered extremely difficult.
By the use of my invention the stream of liquid that is caused to flow from the
tap or cock, is in the form of a steady column of uniform circumference that will
not splash or spread into uneven jets as it flows, thereby obviating the above-
mentioned defects and inconveniences.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the cover and outer part of my invention.
Fig. 2 n similar view of the upper and inner part thereof.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the nozzle of a tap with my invention in position
thereon, while
Fig. 4 is an elevational view of the device in actual use.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like letters of reference indicate corresponding
parts throughout the several figures, a represents a sleeve, which is flanged at a¹,
this said flange extending downward to within a short distance of the lower
extremity of the inner sleeve a. By this means an annular space a² is provided
between the inner portion a and the said flange a¹, which space is open at the
bottom and closed at the top as shown by Figs. 2 and 3.
The flanged sleeve aforesaid fits within a tapering sleeve b, which is provided
with a meshed wire or other similar diaphragm bl. This diaphragm b' may
conveniently rest upon the slanting shoulder 62 formed by the tapering portion b³.
In operation, the flanged sleeve a is placed within the tapering sleeve band the
whole then fixed, temporarily or permanently, upon the nozzle c of the tap or cock,
as shewn in Figs. 3 and 4.
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

page_text: same, in combination with a second sleeve b tapered at 63 and having a perforated
diaphragm resting on the slanting shoulder 62, substantially as and for the purpose
described, and as illustrated by the drawing.

Improvements in or relating to Phonographs.
Year: 1898

page_text: Date of Application, 5th Oct., 1898-Accepted, 5th Nov., 1898
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Phonographs.
We,
JOSEF COHN and JACOB SIMON AUGUST, both of 48, Ritterstrasse, Berlin,
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers, 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 improvements in phonographs.
Such improvements consist in the attachment of the recording cylinder a upon
a metal cylinder b in such a manner that in this latter cylinder a number (eight
for example) of tongues is cut and these are bent so as to form springs c which
press tightly against the inner wall of the recording cylinder and prevent any
axial rotation of the same upon the said metal cylinder. The flanged or turned
over front end d of the cylinder serves as a bearing and is likewise provided with
openings e to facilitate the removal of a too tightly fitting cylinder by means
of the fingers.
An additional improvement producing an important advantage consists in the fact
that upon an axis (arranged parallel with the guiding spindle f upon which
the carriage g travels) runs a roller h of either conical concave or convex form
which latter serves to relieve the nut of the carriage. In this manner the mount-
ing of the whole apparatus is considerably simplified and the employment of
driving mechanism of much less power than has hitherto been necessary is
rendered possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is;
-
1. In a phonograph, mounting the recording cylinder a upon a metal cylinder b
provided with outwardly acting springs c which are either cut out of the sub-
stance of the metal cylinder itself or fixed thereon for the purpose of so fixing
the recording cylinder a upon the whole of its inner surface as to prevent axial
rotation of this latter cylinder upon the metal cylinder all arranged combined and
acting substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In a phonograph in accordance with Claim 1, the combination therewith
and arrangement of an axis parallel with the guiding spindle upon which axis
runs a roller for the purpose of relieving the nut of the carriage substantially
as described.
3. The improved phonograph constructed combined and arranged to act sub-
stantially as set forth.
