Improvements in Bonds or Ties for Ordinary and Cavity Walls.
I, THOMAS TAYLOR of 49 South King Street, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This Invention relates to bonds or ties for cavity or ordinary walls, and its
objects are to enable the bonds or ties to be produced at a minimum expense with
great strength and so also that they cannot convey or hold damp or moisture.
A bond constructed according to my present improvements, resembles two
triangles having their apices joined by a straight mid piece, the centres of the
triangles being open. They may be constructed by stamping out of sheet iron or
steel, or they may be made of malleable cast iron as may be preferred. If it be
desired, the mid piece may be provided with triangular wings which may be folded
down to meet each other below, more or less closely, and so as to form a drip point
or drip points.

Improved Means of Operating Change or Variable Speed Gear.
I, ARMAND PEUGEOT of Valentigney (Doubs) France, 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:
This invention relates to means of operating variable speed gear whereby pairs.
of wheels of different ratios on parallel shafts may be geared together in succession
for imparting variable speed to the driven shaft.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings
wherein rotary motion is to be transmitted from shaft A to shaft B by means
of pairs of spur wheels C C¹, D D', E E, F F', brought successively into
operation.
The wheels C D E F turn with but are capable of sliding on shaft A. The
wheels C D E F are fast on shaft B. The operating gear consists of a sinuous
grooved cam G which, may be rotated by any suitable means upon shaft A but is
incapable of sliding longitudinally thereon. In the cam groove longitudinal
sliding rods H parallel to shaft A are engaged and to which the cam imparts
to and fro motion the rods carrying forks f whereby the wheels CD and the
wheels E F are moved longitudinally upon the shaft so as to bring them successively
into gear with the corresponding wheels C D E F¹. The form and arrangement
of the cam G relatively to the slide rods is such that no two pairs of wheels are in.
gear at once. The same cam may also serve for reversing shaft B by bringing an
intermediate pinion L into gear with the two wheels I K fast on the shafts A and B
but not directly in gear. The cam and sliding gear wheels may be placed either
upon the driving or the driven shaft and the mechanism may be otherwise varied
without departing from the invention.
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 :-
The herein described means of operating change gearing by a single cam for
imparting variable speed to the driven shaft relativly to the uniform speed of the
driving shaft and for reversing the motion of the driven shaft, substantially as
specified.

I, FREDERICK WILLIAM BOWRING, of the Firin of Bowring, Arundel & Co.,
39 Old Bond Street, London, W., Outfitter, 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 neck-tie, the same being an article
of dress, and consists in combining a neck-band or collar-piece with a scarf neck-
tie consisting of two long ends capable of being tied by the wearer.
By means of this band and tie or scarf, a neck-band or collar can be applied
that will only require one thickness of the material to be passed over or buttoned
onto the front collar stud or button, and onto the back button or stud at the back
of the shirt collar band.
In order that the said invention may be well understood there is annexed
hereto a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof and the same will be referred to by
figures and letters in the following particular description.
Figure 1, shews in general view a tie according to this invention, in its
unattached state, the scarf being untied.
Figure 2, shews the scarf ends tied.
The scarf tie a. a' will have attached at a point a², about mid distant of its
length, one end of the collar band b. Midway of the length of the collar band b
there will be made a button hole 6' for the front collar stud or button of the shirt
neck band; and at the free back-end of the collar band 3 there will be made a
button-hole 62 for the back collar-button or stud.
When the collar band b thus made and attached is buttoned at b, and 62, onto
the neck band of the shirt, the ends a. a' of the scarf or tie can be brought
round to the front and be tied according to the wearer's fancy or capability.

A New or Improved Device for Protecting Gauge-glasses.
I, PAUL OTTO KELLER, of 18, Emilienstrasse, Zwickau, Saxony, 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 :-
Special care must be taken in connection with glass-gauges, used on machines
that are exposed to the action of the weather, as, for example, on locomotives,
machinery employed for agricultural purposes, &c., in order to prevent cold wind,
passing showers or hail from reaching the glass, and thereby causing it to crack.
The protecting sleeves or cases now in use do not sufficiently meet this requirement,
as the rain, wind, snow or sleet is able to reach the glass through the openings in
the sleeve.
The object of the present invention is a protective appliance, which can be so
placed relatively to the direction of the wind at any given time as to provide a
perfectly safe covering for the glass-gauge.
In the accompanying drawing, this device is illustrated :-
Figs. 1. & 2. show elevations of the invention, while Fig. 3. is a section.
In Fig. 2. an arrow represents the direction of the shower of sleet, rain, or other
cause of danger to the glass.
The sleeve A is composed of two semi-circles a and b, which are joined to each
other by means of a hinge c, in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3. so that they
overlap one another, and are made fast by means of a rabbet d; one of the halves
consists of an unbroken sheet of metal, whilst the other has openings e
formed in it.
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 new or improved device for protecting gauge-glasses the characteristic
feature of which is a cylindrical sleeve or case, one half of which is entire, and the
other half having openings therein, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in the Means and Method of Securing Bows to
Keyless Watches.
I, JABEZ KERBY NEWSOME of 14 and 15 The Butts, Coventry in the County
of Warwick, Watch Manufacturer, 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 means and method of
securing bows to keyless watches by which I can firmly and securely fasten the
bow of a keyless watch to the pendant which is not the case with pendants of
keyless watches as at present constructed.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double-sized sheet of drawings.
upon which I have illustrated examples of my improvements.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my pendant with the bow placed in position.
Figure 2 represents the bow detached.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the cap which fits into the hollow top of the pendant..
Figure 4 is a cross sectional elevation of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is an elevation of the hollow screw which bends the cap onto the end of
the bow.
Figure 6 is a plan of the same.
Figure 7 is a cross sectional elevation of Figure 5.
Figure 8 is a cross sectional elevation showing all the parts fixed together with
part of the spindle of the keyless action.
In carrying my invention into practice I hollow out the head of the pendant A
and form a recess a' all round. I then drill a hole a2 at either side which crosses.
the recess a at about right angles into which the ends of the bow B fit. These
ends have a groove or recess cut all round. I next form the hollow cap C with.
a hole in the centre through which the hollow screw S passes. After the ends.
of the bow have been inserted into the holes a² the cap C is fitted into the recessed
head the notched portions e fitting into the recess as clearly shown at Figure 8.
The hollow screw which has a slot s2 cut on the top of the head is then passed
through the hole in the cap and screwed into the tapped hole a³ formed in the stem
of the pendant, the underside of the head s bearing upon the top of the cap which
firmly and securely binds the notched portions on to the recessed ends of:
the bow.
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-
First. The improved means and method of securing bows B to keyless watches.
to a such like pendant as A by means of the cap such as C and the hollow screw
such as S secured and combined together in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as herein before described and shown on the accompanying sheet of

Improvements in the Rollers of Wringing and Mangling Machines.
I, ARTHUR JONES of 57 Barton Street West Bromwich South Staffordshire
Painter and Paperhanger do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
wringing and mangling machine rollers 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 improvements in the rollers of wringing and mangling
machines, and has for its object to so construct these as to prevent them from
stripping or splitting after use as obtains with those hitherto made and used.
In order that my invention may be fully understood reference is hereinafter
made to the accompanying drawings.
In carrying my invention into effect I produce of ordinary wood a roller A, of
any desired dimensions, (according to the size of the machine it is intended for)
which I mount on a lathe and turn down or cut away to a certain depth a portion
of the periphery of each end, and in any part of the shoulders and neck thus
formed I bore or otherwise provide a number of holes or apertures, these being for
the purpose of forming a key for the molten metal that is to occupy the said cut-
away ends of the roller.
The ends of the roller are then placed one at a time in a suitable mould or box,
and molten metal (which may be zinc, lead, or any alloy of these or other metal
not liable to oxidization by contact with water) cast around them, which not only
occupies the space formed by the before mentioned turning down, but also the said
holes or apertures bored therein, and by this means I form an immovable ring B
upon each end of the roller, which, when partially cold and plunged into water
would shrink and tighten the grain of the wood and prevent the same from
splitting or stripping in wear. The said roller may then be placed in a lathe and
polished, and ultimately be provided with a spindle C in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

FREDERICK WILLIAM HEATON and HARRY SMITII both electrical engineers and
both of Salford Switch Works Sidney Street Salford Manchester do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
That our invention is an improved form of tumbler switch. Between the
contact blocks there is a porcelain partition which stands higher than the contact
blocks, thus separating the two poles of the switch by a porcelain wall. With
the said porcelain wall standing higher than the contact blocks it absolutely
prevents, the possibility of an are forming when the switch is breaking contact.
The pot wall is fixed to base of switch & prevents any short circuit arising between
the contact blocks when the switch is off or when the switch is breaking
connection.

Improved High Insulation Tumbler Switch.
FREDERICK WILLIAM HEATON and HARRY SMITII Electrical Engineers both of
Salford Switch Works Sidney Street Salford 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 has reference to an improved method of insulating the contact
blocks from each other as shewn by accompanying sketch. We have a porcelain
wall (A) attached to base of switch, which stands higher than each contact
block (B&B).
The contact blades (o) work into the contact blocks on each side of porcelain
wall By this method we do away with the possibility of an arc being formed
between the contact blocks (B & B¹).
In Fig. 1 is shewn front view of switch shewing porcelain wall between contact
blocks (B&B). The switch being in an "off" position.
In Fig. 2 is shewn a side view of switch with blades in off position with plunger
spring working in base of switch and holding contact blades in "off" position,
also shewing handle or lever forked at one end, which works on an insulated pin
fixed in plates to work switch on or off.
In Fig. 3 is shewn plan of base with all parts removed shewing only porcelain
wall standing between the two contact blocks,

page_text: 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. An improved method of preventing an arc or leakage between the two contact
blocks of tumbler type switches by means of insulated porcelain wall.
2. By this method. The arcs formed when switch is turned off cannot join,
on account of being separated by porcelain wall between contact blocks and
blades.
3. In our invention we prevent any short circuiting when switch is off by
means of porcelain shield or wall between connection parts.

A Process for Making Colours for Water Colour Painting.
I, FRITZ BEINDORFF of No. 20 Gerberstrasse Hannover, 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 ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The present invention refers to a process for making colours for water-colour
painting, which consists in the employment of a mixture of an aqueous solution of
dichlorhydrin, fat-acid-soda (or a sodium salt of a fatty acid) and a preparation of
pigs gall which is added to the binding medium. Colours mixed in this way are
greatly superior to other colours. The process is as follows:-Pigs gall is treated
similarly to ox-gall with ether and brine and reduced; the ether is removed, the residuum
is taken up with a quantity of cold water, filtered and neutralized with fat-acid-soda,
and dried in a water bath. This residuum is treated with hot alcohol and the alcoholic
extract is evaporated. The resultant substance which is of a very hydroscopic
nature, is dissolved in water to form a 5% solution and afterwards reduced with
a 2% aqueous solution of fat-acid-soda. The mixture is gently heated and after
cooling, is mixed with a saturated aqueous solution of dichlorhydrin in equal
proportions. This liquid while of the aforesaid strength, is added to the binding
medium or directly to the colour mixture. The colours mixed with it are superior
to other colours because they can be applied to any paper in thin washes of equal
consistency. This result can only be obtained otherwise by a considerable addition
of binding medium but by this process glaze colours dry off in a manner, which
is in most cases undesirable.
Besides the superiority of colour the acid-fat-soda has the advantage of obviating
cracking even in very large colour masses.
The gall preparation has the quality of making the colours run equally but the
colour in ordinary colour mixtures run unevenly in consequence of the greater or
less separation of the colours while drying as is proved by experience. The addition
of the mixture of dichlorhydrin fat-acid-soda together with the medium prepared
from pigs gall makes it possible for all colours to be mixed without separation while
drying.
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:
A process for the preparation of colours for water colour painting consisting in
adding to the binding medium used, a mixture of an aqueous solution of dichlor-
hydrin, fat-acid-soda and a preparation of pigs gall, substantially as and for the
purpose described and set forth.

of Lancaster, and Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Civil 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 furniture castor within the hollow interior of which
are placed seven balls preferably of hard wood, the largest of which is destined to
roll upon the floor, and the six smaller ones serve to retain the first in the desired
position. The arrangement of the device is illustrated in the accompanying
drawing. As shown in the drawing the frame or socket of the castor is formed
of two pieces a b connected together in the following manner :-
At the upper part of the piece b an annular recess is formed into which a
corresponding crown m on the lower part of the piece a fits. The ball e projects
a little from the lower surface g of the piece 6 and it is held upright in the
desired position by means of the three balls e which are placed in the recess k
immediately above the ball c, and rotate in grooves in the part a as shewn in
Fig. 1. The ball cis further held in place sideways by means of the three
balls d partly lodged in concave recesses, the diameter of which is a little larger
than that of the balls d. These cavities are arranged in the piece b at h and also
in the part i. The pieces a bare constructed of any suitable material, the piece a
has at the top a circular recess f into which the foot of the piece of furn iture is
inserted.
In the accompanying drawing:-
Figure 1 is a section on lines p q of Figure 2.
Figure 2 is a view of the castor mechanism from below in which the part his

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
A furniture castor consisting of two pieces a b of suitable material, united in
such a manner that a projecting ring m on the lower part of the piece a is inserted
in a corresponding annular cavity in the upper part of the piece b. Between
the said pieces ab is provided a cavity in which are placed seven balls the largest
one of which is devised to roll upon the floor whilst it is kept in place sideways
by means of three balls d partly lodged in corresponding cavities in the lower
part of the piece b, and is held upright by means of three balls e which are lodged
in cylindrical hollow k above c.

Improvements relating to Treating or Flashing Filaments for
Electric Incandescent Lamps.
We, JOHN HADDEN DOUGLAS-WILLAN of 16 St. Helen's Place, in the City of
London, and FRANK EUSTACE WELKINS BOWEN of "Selwood" Mount Avenue,
Ealing, London, W. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a method of "treating" or "flashing" carbon or
compound filaments whereby they are rendered capable of being worked at high
temperatures without the rapid disintegration which would obtain in the case of
filaments treated with hydrocarbons alone.
In order to effect this we deposit on the filaments a coating of carbon and
boric anhydride (B2O3) by incandescing the filaments in the presence of certain
organic compounds containing both boron and oxygen. Among such compounds
suitable for the purpose we may mention the borates of the alcohols such
as B(OCH3)3 and (C,H,)3BO3.
