THOMAS WALTER BARBER of 165 Queen Victoria Street London in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My improvements aim at increased holding power and relate to the form of the
flange and point of an earth screw used either as a pile or a mooring.
I construct the flange of a dishel or mushroom shape, thickest at the central
part or boss and use them with the hollow or concave side towards the resistance.
To facilitate drawing the screw into the ground I taper the flange and boss to a
conical form with an increasing pitch to provide for moving vertically the earth
displaced by the substance of the screw flange.

Improvements in French Windows or Casements.
I, ROBERT HEINRICH WILHELM RUMP of 1 Neue Bermenstrasse, Hamburg,
Decorator, 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 French windows or casements opening to the outside,
and it has for its object to enable the outsides of the glass panes to be easily or
readily cleaned without danger.
The invention is illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 is an outside view of a window constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a part view of the window looking from the inside.
In this invention each sash is provided at top and bottom with a hinge a the
prolonged leaf 6 of which also forms one leaf of a socket hinge d let into the window
frame. The leaves b of the two hinges, at each side of the window, are fitted to
and turn on one long vertical rod or spindle z which passes through both hinges.
In each leaf b a slot e is cut, through which passes the oblong head g of a fastener f
secured to the sash as shown. These fasteners, when turned, lock the leaves to the
sash. Each fastener is capable of being turned from the inside by means of a bolt
having a small handle at its end.
The sashes have staples, knobs, or rings ik and catches h, whilst the window
frame has, on the inside, hooks m at both sides.
If it is desired to clean the outsides of the sashes, the window is first opened in the
usual manner and the fasteners turned through an angle of 90° so that their heads
may pass through the slots e in leaves b, the sashes are then turned round on the
hinges a, the outside surfaces of the panes are brought to the inside when the sashes
are secured in place by fastening the hooks m in the knobs or staples i and securing
the hook in the knob or staple k (see Fig. 2).
After the sashes are cleaned they are unlocked and turned back to their original
position by a reverse manipulation.
In every day use the leaves bare locked to the sashes by means of the fasteners f
so that the sashes turn on the socket hinges d like ordinary windows.
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 :
In French windows having sashes opening outwardly, hinges such as a, d with
leaves common to both and which can be locked to the sashes by means of
fasteners, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings
annexed.

Improvements in Slates.
I, HEINRICH HENSELER, Teacher, of Friesheim, in the Province of Rhineland
and 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 following statement:—
Up to the present school-children used so-called pen-boxes, pen-cases or similar
receptacles for keeping their writing-materials in, such as slate-pencils, lead-
pencils, penholders etc., or else they carried all these articles about them loose in
their pockets. It then often occurred that a child came to school without writing-
materials, having either forgotten to bring the receptacle with it, or in changing its
dress left the writing-materials in the pockets of the dress taken off. In order to do
away with these disadvantages I have constructed a slate with which the receptacle
for writing-materials is inseparably connected.
For this purpose the slate has been provided with a frame, the long sides of
which are of a greater thickness than hitherto, while the short sides may retain the
usual thickness. The long sides are, as will be seen from the drawing, partly
hollowed out lengthways in such a manner, that a box a is formed in each of them,
open at the top and long enough to be able to hold lead-pencils, slate-pencils and
the like. Each of the receptacles a is closed at the top by means of a flat cover b
guided in grooves or capable of being turned to one side or moving on hinges or
otherwise suitably formed. In order to secure it better, the cover-b may be
provided with a special locking, consisting of a bolt c, which passes through the
eyes d di, as shown in Figure 1 and thus prevents the cover from opening of itself
and the contents falling out of the receptacles a, when the slate is held slantwise
or perpendicularly.
The covers may furthermore also be provided on the upper or underside with a
graduated scale and then be used as rulers and measures.
Of course the receptacles a may also be arranged on the short sides of the slate
and the hollows in the frame of the slate may be carried right through the whole
breadth of the frame.
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:
Slate, in the frame of which receptacles, which may be closed are arranged for
the reception of writing- and drawing-materials.

Combined Terminal Box and Cut-out or Fuse Box.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS REID, c/o Callender's Bitumen Telegraph & Waterproof.
Co. Ltd. 101 Leadenhall Street London E.C. 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 invention consists of a box especially constructed with the object of
protecting the ends of cables, wires, or mains, especially (those having a fibrous
dielectric) from the effects of damp & from mechanical abrasion.
It is so designed as to be capable of use combined with a cut-out or fuse, and this
combination is specially adapted for a terminal box inside houses at the end of
service lines connecting consumers with the electric supply mains.
The invention consists of a box, preferably of cast iron, having a movable front
so as to give ready access thereto, the box being so constructed that its base and
upper portion forms two or more sealing compartments, A & B.
The ends of the cables, wires, or mains enter these sealing compartments through
holes in the box and are fastened to terminals, or the terminals of the fuse in the
usual way, the sealing compartments are then filled up with insulating compound,
which surrounds the ends and thus prevents any moisture, dust or other foreign
substance obtaining access to the contacts.
When combined with a fuse or cut-out the fuse block is so arranged that for
testing purposes plugs can be inserted in the circuit, which when removed break the
circuit altogether. To prevent vibration the plugs are so constructed with a small
pad, washer, or spring of rubber, or other suitable substance (fixed to the top of
the plugs) which the lid presses on when in its place. The invention is shown in
the drawing herewith.
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
For a box so constructed that it forms sealing compartments which can be filled
up with insulating material and thus hermetically seal all the ends of the cables,.
wires or mains.

Improvements in Ladders.
JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN 2 Endell Street London W.C. Ladder Maker 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:-
To the support for a sliding ladder I fit a pivoted lever so that it will
automatically allow the ladder rungs to pass it either up or down.
Figs. 1 and 14 of the accompanying drawing illustrates an example, A being
the support pivoted at F and having a lug E which will strike at the back of the
rung upon the ladder to which the support is pivoted and so limit the movement.
The face H is inclined so that a rung upon another ladder when impinging there
against gradually forces the support to rotate upon F and permit the rung to pass
towards G which is the hook taking over the rungs to secure the sliding ladder.
At C a lever is pivoted to A so that the rung after leaving G can depress the lever
end B and move it out of the path of the rung. At D a spring or counterweight
can be attached as shewn in Figure 1A so that it will operate both the support and
the lever for the purpose of more positively ensuring their return movement after
the rung passes them. When the sliding ladder is moved in a downward direction
and a rung strikes B this lever will move towards G and is so arranged that it will
strike the end projecting on H to prevent the rung entering G in the operation of
lowering the sliding ladder.
Figs. 2 & 3 are other examples of how the lever L can be applied to a support K
having an inclined face J, such lever being pivoted at M or the lever may be
separately attached to the ladder as N. O.
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 a lever to a support for a sliding ladder, for the purpose of
automatically operating the support through the medium of the rungs of a ladder
in conjunction with a sliding section as shewn in the accompanying drawings.

scored as follows:-Ordinary cannon counts 2 points, a black skittle such as
A, D, E, & C, counts two points, the red skittle such as B five points if it is knocked
down by itself, but if with others 3 points only. If all the skittles fall it is.

1, WILLIAM WILSON, of University Hall, Riddles Court, Edinburgh, Book-
binder, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in the method of sewing
the sections of the book together previously to its receiving the outer back and
covers.
Instead of sewing the sections to cords, tapes, or strips of vellum (technically
called "slips") as now practised, I substitute for such slips a band of cloth or other
suitable flexible material, of sufficient dimensions to cover the entire back, the
stitches being made through the sections and the flexible back, and the stiffening,
if any, being applied to the flexible back, instead of being applied directly to the
backs of the sections. This method of binding allows the sections greater play, and
enables the leaves to lie flat when the book is opened.

I, CHARLES ELLSWORTH, of 12 Meadowpark Street, Dennistoun, in the City
and County of Glasgow, Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
to be as follows:-
-
This invention has reference to an improved method of locking or preventing
children's perambulators, mail carts, and the like running away when left by nurses
or attendants on inclined roads or like places.
According to my improvements I secure the one end of a chain, wire, or
cord to a plate screwed or secured to the frame of the perambulator or mail cart,
and on the other end of the chain I secure a spring hook, cleek, or like device.
When the perambulator or mail cart is desired to be locked or retained in fixed
position on the roadway, the hooked end of the chain would be clipped on to the
spokes or rim of one of the travelling wheels, or it may be passed through said
wheel under the rim, and then clipped on to the eye of a projecting screw secured
to frame of vehicle or to the aforesaid plate.
By this means the perambulator will be locked or can travel no further than the
length or slackness of chain.

I, CHARLES ELLSWORTH, of 12 Meadowpark Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow,
Traveller, 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 device for locking or preventing
perambulators, mail carts, and the like running away when left without any one in
charge.
The device consists of an oblong metal plate which is screwed to the side of the
vehicle at any convenient position and this plate has rivetted or otherwise secured
to it an eye to which a chain is attached having at its end a safety hook or shackle.
When it is desired to lock the vehicle the hook is secured to a spoke of one of
the wheels and thereby prevents the machine running away.
If desired instead of having a safety hook the chain may be secured to the wheel
by an S or U shaped hook.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
consider novel and desire to claim is.
A device for locking perambulators, mail carts, and the like, consisting of a metal
plate having an eye thereon to which a chain provided with a hook at its end
is attached.
