A Double S Hook.
I, PAUL ROACH of Timaru in the Provincial District of Canterbury and
Colony of New Zealand Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"A DOUBLE S Hooк" 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 an exceedingly simple and effective double clip hook
that may be generally used in place of an ordinary hook or split link and which
when in use will not of itself become detached. It can be used to great advantage
with agricultural implements, particularly ploughs or other implements drawn by
horses ou hilly or uneven ground, as it cannot become detached by shaking or
slacking of chains to which it is connected as is, the case with ordinary hooks now
used for such purposes.
The double hook consists simply of two parts, each being of the shape of the
letter S, placed together in opposite directions and connected in the centre by a
pin or rivet forming a pivot on which they are capable of being turned so as to
open or close their ends.
Referring to the annexed drawings,
Fig. 1 is a side view of the double S hook when closed.
Fig. 2 is an end view of same.
Fig. 3 is a side view of hook when open.
A. A. are two S shaped parts, each having a swell or boss in centre and placed
together as shown the two said parts being connected by the pin or rivet a forming
a pivot on which they can be turned in either direction in order to open or close
their ends as desired.
The hook may be constructed of any suitable metal and of different sizes
according to requirements.
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 double hook consisting of two parts A. A. each of the shape of the letter S
placed together in opposite directions and connected by a pin or rivet a forming a
pivot on which they are capable of being turned so that their ends may be opened
or closed as desired substantially as herein described and shown in the annexed
drawings.

Improvements in Injectors.
I, ALEXANDER FRIEDMANN of II Am Tabor No. 6 Vienna, Austria, Manu-
facturer 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 an improved construction of injectors of the kind known
as "Re-starting-Injectors" in which, in the case of the breaking off of the water
column, causing an interruption of the action, water is at once drawn up again as
soon as steam is re-admitted.
In order to effect this; such injectors, as heretofore constructed, have moveable
or sliding parts provided in the form of moveable or sliding nozzles which, in getting
shifted by the steam jet, cause frequent repairs and a leaky and unreliable condition
of the apparatus.
The present invention has for its object to obviate these defects, and consists in
an improved construction whereby all the nozzles are rendered fixed.
The accompanying drawing shews a vertical section of my improved re-starting
injector.
The injector is provided with two steam nozzles a and b, of which 6 surrounds a
so as to form an annular orifice between the two, and it communicates with the
interior of a by a number of small lateral holes, so that on opening the steam inlet
valve, the steam issues simultaneously through the opening a¹ of the central nozzle a
and through the annular opening of the nozzle b, both jets being thus made to
operate simultaneously. The condensation nozzle c, which is also fixed, has a
number of inlets, such for example as c', c², c³, as shewn, which may either be of the
form shewn on the drawing, or may be in the form of rings of holes, or again they
may be formed by making the front end of each part of the nozzle fit into the rear
end of the next part with an annular space between them; or again, any of the
above arrangements may be used in combination. In every case, the sum of the
areas of these openings must be equal to the sum of the area of the steam jet
openings a and, in order that in the event of the breaking off of the water
column, the freshly entering steam may find sufficient space for issue in order
thereby to enable the water column to be drawn up again, and consequently to start
the feed again.
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:
In injectors, the combination of a central steam nozzle a, a surrounding annular
steam nozzle b, through both of which steam issues simultaneously, and a fixed
condensation nozzle c provided with lateral inlets substantially as described.

An Improved Letter-card.
I, HERMANN STERN, of 23 Ritterstrasse, Berlin S., Germany, Merchant, 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 letter-cards.
The improved card is tripartite or pluripartite, and has five or more pages for
writing on. The card can be closed without the aid of a cover.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
Fig. 1 is a view of the card opened out.
Fig. 2 is a view of the same card, with the first leaf a folded down on the second
leaf b.
Fig. 3 shows the third leaf c folded down on top of leaf a, Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 shows the letter-card, when doubled up and closed, ready for sending
through the post.
As will be seen, the card consists of a single sheet of paper, which is
perforated along the lines b', f. The sheet is divided into three portions or
leaves a, b, c, with dividing lines or creases a¹, c¹. Both sides of the leaves a
and c may be written on, whilst the central leaf 6 is written on the inside
only. The central leaf has perforated edges and f, one of which, (d) is
gummed. The space reserved for the address is on the upper half of the back of
the central lenf b.
The letter-card is closed up in the following manner :-The leaf a is bent
over until its inner page or face lies against the inner page or face of leaf b
(see Fig. 2). The leaf c is then folded downwards on top of leaf a (see
Fig. 3). Now, by doubling the leaves along the central line 6, the card
assumes the shape shown at Fig. 4, and can be closed up by sticking the
gummed edge d to the edge f.
To open the card, all that is required to be done is to tear off the perforated
edges d, f.
If it is desired to copy the writing on the card in a letter-book, care should
be taken to so place the card within the book, that the gummed edge d projects
outwards, and does not come in contact with the wet sheet.
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 tripartite or pluripartite letter-card, made substantially as hereinbefore
described and shown on the drawings annexed.

It is a disc made of any material that can be stamped by a punch and die, and
printed on, or faced with material that can be printed on.
In its central part I
place a disc of absorbent paper A which has been soaked in solution of cobalt salt,
and I cover this by cementing or otherwise fixing on it a disc of paper or the like
having several holes through which the absorbent paper can be seen. Round the
central disc there is a raised rib B, and also at the outer edge of the indicator there
is on each side a raised rib C. These ribs, which are punched up, serve to protect
from rubbing and wear the central disc and any matter printed on the indicator
such, for instance, as directions for using the indicator on the face, and advertise-
ments or other matter on the back. The cobalt salt assumes certain colours as the
weather changes, blue indicating fair, lilac indicating changeable, and pink indicating
stormy.
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
A pocket weather indicator in form of a disc presenting in the centre on one side
a salt of cobalt, and having this and printed matter around it and on the back
protected against rubbing and wear by raised ribs, substantially as described.

I, CARL BOLLÉ of 57 Barton Arcade, Manchester in the County of Lancaster,
Consulting 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 the manufacture of candles and consists in an improve-
ment in the same by means of which the point of fusion is raised and the weight
and duration of the candle is increased, the object being to make the candles more
economical than those at present in use.

used such as: stearine, margarine, stearic acid, margaric acid, palm oil, crude and
refined paraffin, and such like, while in a liquid state, as much sulphur as will
dissolve or until the solution is saturated. This raises the point of fusion and
increases the weight of the candles made from the solution by the entire weight
of the sulphur dissolved.
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 manufacture of candles from fatty substances or hydro-carbons in which
sulphur has been dissolved substantially as hereinbefore described.

, CHARLES BRADBURY of 249 High Holborn, in the County of London,
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 object of this invention is to prevent toothed-wheels which are stopped and
held in position by means of a spring-catch, from over-running by reason of their
acquired force or inertia. This is accomplished by providing the said catch A with
two or more engaging teeth or projections a, b, instead of one only, thus giving a
greater resistance to the motion of the toothed-wheel B and greater certainty of
action; whereas, a simple catch with but one tooth may fail to stop the wheel as
desired, and so allow it to over-run the stopping point.
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 catch A. having two or more teeth a, b, engaging with those of a toothed-
wheel B, to prevent the latter from turning (owing to its acquired force) beyond
the point at which it is intended to stop.

Patent Agent and Consulting 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 :-
The object of this invention, as communicated to me by my foreign corre-
spondents, is to provide a spittoon which, whilst fulfilling its purpose in a most
perfect manner, shall at the same time prevent its contents from being exposed
to view.
To attain this end there is attached inside the spittoon, a covering in the form
of a grating, consisting of strips of sheet metal set parallel to each other and
descending into the basin of the spittoon fist a short distance vertically, and
then at an obtuse angle. The angle given to the strips is such that, on looking
into the spittoon the interior is hidden from view by the end of one strip projecting
under the vertical plane of the next.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents a vertical section; and Fig. 2, a plan view of the improved
spittoon.
A is the basin or container, on the rim a of which the framing B, of the grating
strips c, is set so that it may be easily removed when it is required to clean the
spittoon. The grating consists of metal strips arranged parallel to one another,
and descending a short distance vertically into the basin (as indicated by c¹),
and then at an obtuse angle (as indicated by ²); so that the end of one strip
projects under the vertical axis of the next following one; as shown in the section
Fig. 1; thus hiding the interior of the spittoon from view, but allowing of the
saliva to fall into the container A. By lifting the framing B, with its attached
grating c, out of the container A, the parts may be readily cleansed. The sheet
metal grating strips c are secured at their ends to the framing B by screws, rivets,
or otherwise; and a strip d may be grooved diagonally to receive the ends of the
grating strips c, at their lower part c², if required.
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;-
In spittoons, the combination with the container of a moveable framing supporting
strips of sheet metal set parallel to each other and descending first vertically and
then at an angle into the container substantially as and for the purpose herein
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Disinfecting.
We, EUGENE HERMITE, EDWARD JAMES PATERSON, and CHARLES FRIEND
COOPER, all of European Works, Pownall Road, Dalston, in the County of
London, 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 :-
In our Specification No. 1993 of 1887 we described apparatus for electrolysing
bleaching liquors containing solutions of chlorides; in our Specification No. 5393
of 1887 we described the manufacture of a liquor applicable for disinfecting as
well as bleaching purposes by electrolysing solutions containing chlorides. In our
Specification No. 15,384 of 1887 we described the disinfecting of impure liquids
by adding chlorides to them and electrolysing the mixture; and in our Specification
No. 15,385 of 1887 we described apparatus for electrolysing sewage having
chloride solution mixed with it.
Our present invention relates to the application of electrolysed chloride solutions
for disinfecting in the following manner. In a convenient situation in or near a
town or in an institution, factory or other establishment, or it may be in a vessel,
we provide electrolysing plant consisting of dynamo electric machines, engines, if
necessary, for working them, and electrolysing apparatus, which may be of the
kind described in our Specification No. 1993 of 1887 above referred to.
We provide also suitable reservoirs, preferably at a high level, with such pumps
as may be necessary for raising or forcing water. We charge the reservoirs with
water in which we dissolve chlorides, such as magnesium, calcium or sodium chlorides,
or, where sea water is available, we employ it without additional chlorides. We
electrolyse the liquid in the reservoirs and conduct it as a disinfecting liquid by
suitable pipes to the places requiring disinfection. In this manner we supply the
cisterns of closets or urinals with the electrolysed liquid, we provide cocks or valves
on the pipes which conduct it so that portions of it may from time to time be
discharged into sewers or open drains or gutters, or distributed over streets, or
passed through the holds of vessels. As the amount of chlorine present in the
electrolysed liquid is small, about 1 gramme of free chlorine to the litre of liquid
being generally sufficient, the use of the liquid is not attended with any unpleasant
chlorine smell, while it destroys the unpleasant and noxious odours of the impure
matters to which it is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven

CHRISTIAN KÖRTE Mechanical Engineer 36 Victoria Road Leeds in the
County of York, 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 flushing tanks for closets and
cisterns etc. and consists in the way by which the water level of a cistern or tank
is raised for the purpose of starting a syphon for emptying the tank or cistern.
This is done by means of a float which is pressed deeper into the water and
expelling a certain amount of water, raises the water level in tank and so starts a.
syphon.
This float may be closed or open it may be made of tile or earthenware or any
metal and may be put into the water either with its closed or open side as to use.
the compressed air as means of raising the water level.
Having now described the nature of this invention I illustrate the same further
by annexed drawing..
In this drawing represents A. a tank or cistern filled with water B a syphon, the.
top of which stands out above the water level, C a float swimming on the water,
Da lever connexion to press the float deeper into the water, if that is done the
water level rises and starts the syphon.
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 method in which the syphon in tank or cistern is started all particularly as.
before explained and described.

An Improved Joint for Fishing Rods, Chimney Cleaning Rods, and
like purposes.
I, EMMANUEL OLIVER of 56 Gardener's Lane, Putney, in the County of Surrey,
Chimney Sweep, 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 detachable joints for connecting the parts of an
extensible rod, and for like purposes.
It consists of two parts (1) a square socket in which is a transverse bar or pin,.
the ends of which work in two slots cut in the wall of the socket to receive them,
and which ends are connected to an external collar by which the said pin can be
turned horizontally about one fourth of the diameter of the socket, and (2) the
counter part or male end of the joint which is composed of a square plug fitting
accurately in said socket and carrying at its extremity two hooks facing in
opposite directions. These hooks are not close together but are separated by a
space sufficient to receive the pin of the socket. The male end being inserted in
the socket sufficiently far to enable the said pin to enter between the said hooks ;:
the external collar, on which may be lugs to assist the operator, is turned round so
that the pin lies nearly at a right angle to its first position, and in so doing locks.
the joint by passing beneath the projecting crook of the said hooks.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings,
in which
Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation of the socket or female end of my improved
joint with the locking bar b in position.
Fig. 2 shows a front elevation and Fig. 3 a side elevation of the male or projecting
end of the joint.
Fig. 4 shows an external view of the joint when brought together and closed.
a a are the hooks which engage with the bar b. is the collar through which the
bar 6 works or to which it is attached. d d are lugs on collar or on end of bar b.
e is one of the slots in which the bar b turns. f, fare ferrules.
Instead of two hooks to engage with the bar b one can be employed if preferred,.
but I consider two to be preferable.
Instead of the bar turning in slots as described the bar may be fixed, and the
hook made to turn inside the socket. In this case the collar c may be dispensed
with, and the socket would be made round not square as shewn, and an outside
catch would be necessary.
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. A locking joint for fishing rods and like purposes consisting of (1) a recess
or socket and transverse pin, with or without an external collar and lugs and
(2) a plug fitting into said socket and terminating in one or two strong hooks
which engage with said transverse pin, as herein described and set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Saw-blades.
I, GEORG SZÉKELY, of Lutilla, Bars County, in the Kingdom of Hungary,
Verderer, 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 consists in certain improvements in or relating to saw-blades of
which the following is a Specification.
The attached drawings, in which letters of reference correspond with like letters
of reference in this description, show a front elevation and a cross section of my
invention, the same consisting of a saw-blade a furnished with planing teeth con
its back opposite to the cutting teeth on its front. The object of these planing
teeth c is to smoothen, in the to-and-fro movement of the saw, the roughly cut
surfaces left by the saw teeth. Naturally these planing teeth care much larger
than the cutting teeth b, are of trapezoidal shape and cylindrically curved as shown
in the drawing alternately to the one and other side. All teeth curved towards,
each side are sharpened equally on both bevelled edges, so as to plane in both
directions of their movement. It will be readily understood that the planing
teeth care also cross cutting and their settings is somewhat larger than the
setting of the saw teeth b. The cutters d, of all teeth c, are sharpened in the
course of their curving and plane naturally with the highest, that is to say,
the extreme point of their curvature. It will be understood that slight alterations,
such as shaping the planing teeth c so as to plane only in one direction, or like
modifications, do not touch the essence of my invention, but
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 saw-blade a having on the back thereof alternately set and curved planing
teeth c, having their bevelled edges d outwardly sharpened, these planing teeth c
being set wider than the saw teeth b so that with each movement of the blade a,
the sharpened edges d of the teeth c may smoothly plane the rough surface left by
the saw teeth, substantially as described.

Improvements in India-rubber Shoes.
1, CARL MARET, of Harburg an der Elbe, in the Empire of Germany, Director
of the Harburg & Vienna India-rubber Company, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
My invention relates to india-rubber shoes.
According to my invention I manufacture such shoes with soles of wood, cork,
felt, artificial leather or similar light material covered or coated as hereinafter
more particularly described with india-rubber instead of making the soles of solid
india-rubber as has heretofore been usual.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a shoe provided with my improved sole and of the
shape usually worn by the Chinese ; and,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same:
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of a shoe having a sole of slightly modified
construction; and,
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a side view of a shoe having a flat sole.
a is the upper of the shoe which is formed upon a last in the usual manner and
provided with the usual inner sole 6 of cloth or similar material.
c is my sole of wood, cork, felt, artificial leather or similar light material which
may be curved as shown in Figures 1 to 3 or flat as shewn in Figure 5. This sole
has fixed upon it by india-rubber solution the covering d of india-rubber, the said
cover being tightly drawn over the bottom and edges of the sole and around the
edges of the top thereof, as shewn most clearly in Figure 4. The sole thus covered
is fixed to the inner sole b by means of india-rubber solution. The bottom of the
sole is thickened by the attachment thereto of an outer sole e by means of india-
rubber solution or by means of nails f, f as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
If desired the shoes may be made of unvulcanized rubber and vulcanized upon
the last.
Although I have shewn my invention as applied to shoes especially adapted for
use by the Chinese it is to be understood that my invention is also applicable to
other shoes having india-rubber soles.
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. An india-rubber shoe the sole of which is composed of wood, cork, felt,
artificial leather or similar light material covered or coated with india-rubber,
substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved india-rubber shoes hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

passing any remedy with which I am acquainted.
The oil or liniment, the subject of my invention comprises the following ingre-
dients which I have found to give best results in the proportions mentioned, that is
to sav.
1 lb. pure carbolic acid.
7 lbs. pure glycerine.
oz. alkanet root.
4 oz. of the ripe fruit of the plant known as the prickly pear
(growing very extensively in Australia).
1 oz. extract of elder leaves.
I mix these ingredients together and allow them to macerate for some days. I
have found five days to give the best results. The mixture must then be strained
through flannel, or other similar or equally suitable material, when it is ready for
use.
For application to the human body, one part of the compound should be used
with three parts of water, and applied on lint or old linen to the affected part.
Three times a day will give good results.
In using the liniment I prefer to bathe the affected parts with warm water before
application, (without soap).
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 oil or liniment hereinbefore described consisting of the combination of pure
glycerine, pure carbolic acid, alkanet root, prickly pear fruit, and extract of elder
leaves, mixed and prepared substantially as described and for the purposes set
forth.
