Improvements in Window Shutter Fasteners.
I, ARTHUR RUSHER HAYWARD, of The Elms, West Chinnock, Ilminster, in
the County of Somersetshire, Gentleman, 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 improvements in window shutter fasteners, which
consists of an apparatus fixed to the window so that the tongue, which is rivetted
loosely by a pin in the slot and hangs down. A hole is bored in the shutter, on
which a separate plate is screwed. The shutter shuts over the turned rod and the
tongue drops down and can only be opened again from the inside.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the separate plate.
Fig. 2, is a front view of the back plate, rod and tongue.
Fig. 3, is a side elevation of the apparatus showing the separate plate locked by
the drop of the tongue.
Fig. 4, is a vertical section, and Fig. 5, is a vertical elevation, both of these
figures are broken off.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct a back plate c with four
countersunk holes, and a centre hole and in this said centre hole I rivet one end of
the rod d. The rod d is provided with a slot g and in this said slot g I insert a
tongue e which works loosely on a pin frivetted to the sides of the slot g at the
front end of the rod d. When the aforesaid apparatus is fixed to the window the
tongue e hangs down as in Fig. 3.
Also I provide a separate plate a with four countersunk holes and a centre
hole 6 this plate is screwed over a hole bored in the shutter, therefore the shutter
and plate slides over the turned rod d and the tongue e drops and fixes the shutter
until released by a person from the inside.
The above apparatus may be constructed of any suitable shape and be used for
any kind of shutter.
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. In window-shutter fasteners, the combination of the back plate e turned rod d
slot 9 loose tongue e and rivetted pin f, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In window shutter fasteners, the combination of the rivetted pin f, and the
separate plate a with centre hole b, substantially as herein described and according
to the accompanying drawing.
3. In window shutter fasteners, the combination of the various parts to form
the apparatus substantially as described in the above specification for the purpose
specified.

An Improved Puzzle.
I, ROLAND GARRETT GARRETT, Junior, Assistant Surveyor of Ridgway Street,
Wanganui, New Zealand, 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:-
My invention relates to an improved puzzle, and in carrying it into effect, I
proceed in or in about the following manner. I take a chessboard, draughtboard,
or any other similarly divided surface, and divide it into a number of parts each
containing three or more of the square or other spaces into which the board or
surface is divided. In the case of à board divided as for chess, one or some of the
spaces of each part is or are at right angles to the remainder of them. In cases
where the spaces are not rectangular, the adjoining spaces would be similarly
related to one another as if they were rectangular. As an example, I make refer-
ence to the accompanying drawing which represents a front view of a chessboard
divided as explained. In the drawing, the board is assumed to be divided into
fourteen parts a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, as shewn by the thickened and
the dotted lines. Assuming all the parts to be mixed together, the puzzle is to
place them so as to form a complete chess or other similar board. As the board
might have other than rectangular spaces, and might also be divided into more or
less than fourteen parts along other than the lines shewn, I do not confine myself
to a board having rectangular spaces or to one divided precisely as shewn in the
accompanying drawing.
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 puzzle provided for by dividing a rectangularly or otherwise spaced
chess or other board into a number of parts each comprising three or more of the
said rectangular or other spaces, one or more of the said spaces of each part being
at right angles to or relatively so situated to the other or others of them, the
whole substantially as described in the above Specification and exemplified in the
accompanying drawing.

Improvements in the Treatment of Felt to Imitate Double Woven
Fabrics.
JOHANN OFFERMANN, Manufacturer of Dillinger Strasse, Gunzburg, on the
Danube, Bavaria, 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 process for enabling a double or Esquimaux fabric to
be made from felt. Whereas felt always retains a certain hardness and softness to
the touch, a process forming the subject of this invention produces a cloth-like-
softness which renders the product from felt capable of being used as a complete
substitute for a considerably more expensive woven material.
The new process is effected as follows. A felt made of a suitable material is
roughened or has a nap raised on both sides on a suitable napping machine of a
kind usually employed for woven fabric in such a manner that there is imparted to
it on the wrong side a very long or strong fur, and on the right side a short or
weak fur. After the right side has been cropped or shorn the fabric is subjected
to strong pressure in a hydraulic press, and then in a roller press and it is then
subjected to "strong" steam in a special steaming apparatus, whereby the "press"
is fixed upon the fabric. The fabric when cooled is then subjected to a repeated
napping process, and can then be considered to be ready for the needle.
>>
In this manner there is produced a double or Esquiniaux (technical term for
fabrics for making up mantles and overcoats) stuff which combines the advantage
of cheapness of the felt with the characteristic properties of the very much dearer
woven double or Esquimaux cloth.
The steaming of the felt which constitutes the most important feature of this.
improved process and also constitutes the intermediate length between the pressing.
and the final napping, has heretofore if at all been effected by the producers of the
article in steaming works immediately before use, whilst non-steamed felt formed
the article of commerce of the manufacturer.
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 process for the production of double or Esquimaux fabrics from felt, consisting
in that the felt after having been roughed or napped on both sides in a special
napping machine then been cropped or shorn on the right side and subjected to a
powerful pressing operation, is steamed after which the fabric is finished by
repeated napping.

connected with Musical Bells, said Improve-
particularly Intended for Spectacular Effects.
I, JAMES ATROY of 90, Mayfield Road, Dalston, London, Artist, 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 improvements in or connected with musical bells, and
comprises an arrangement of electric lights in connection with same, the object being
to obtain thereby a novel and pretty spectacular effect, and in carrying my invention
into practical effect, the bell ropes, which are suspended within a suitable frame, are
provided, preferably at the back, with the necessary bells, while the front of each
rope has secured thereto in any convenient and suitable manner a number of electric
lamps which may be coloured or not as desired.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a
front elevation of a frame or stand of bells embodying this invention and Fig. 2
is a cross section of same.
The bell ropes 6 which are suspended from or arranged within a suitable frame
or stand fare furnished upon the front with a series of electric lamps a connected
up or arranged in any suitable manner, said lamps being coloured or not as desired,
while to the back of each bell rope is arranged any suitable bells as indicated at a¹
(Fig. 2). The frame may also be illuminated by means of electric lamps if desired,
but as this has been already done I wish it to be understood that I lay no claim
to same.
In sounding or ringing the bells, which is accomplished by shaking the bell
ropes b, a very pretty spectacular effect is obtained by reason of the aforesaid lamps
on the bell ropes flashing before the eyes of the spectators.
It is obvious that instead of the lamps being arranged on one side of the ropes and
the bells upon the other, the bells and lamps may be arranged upon one or both
sides of the said ropes alternately or in any other convenient and suitable
manner.
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 musical bells, the application of electric lamps to the bell ropes of same, for
spectacular effects, substantially as herein described and shown with reference to the
accompanying drawings.

Process for Producing Imitation Tarsia Work.
We, CARL MAX LUBECIUS of 38 Andreas Strasse, Painter and Decorator and
EMIL SAVOR, of 5 Katzbach Strasse, Manufacturer, both of Berlin Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of our 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 consists of a process for producing imitation wood tarsia
work and relates more particularly to the method of treating the surface of the
wood previous to applying the tarsia imitation.
In carrying the process into practice, the surface of the wood is first provided
with a coating of bright spirit varnish (known. in commerce as "Hamburg lac
and after this a coating of size glazing colour, in any desired shade of wood-colour
is applied. The design of the tarsia is now traced on this back ground and there-
upon either the design or the back ground, but only one of both, is covered with
a coating of resinous oil varnish. When this latter coating has been allowed to
dry the whole surface is washed, and since the parts covered by the resinous oil
varnish will not be effected by the washing they will retain their colour whilst
the uncovered colouring (size glazing colour) will be washed off.
The light parts of the tarsia may then be filled out with lines, veins or the like
in Indian ink or they may be coloured by means of oil glazing colours to produce
coloured tarsia work.
Any kind of wood may be employed in the present process but we advantageously
employ maple.
The main feature of the present invention is the first coating of light spirit
varnish one coating of which will be sufficient if maple is employed whilst in the
case of other kinds of wood two coatings should be applied.
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:-
A process for producing imitation tarsia work, which consists in first applying
to the wood surface a coating of spirit varnish, then grounding the said surface
with a size glazing colour, applying the tarsia design to the said surface, and coat-
ing either the design or the back ground with a resinous oil varnish and washing
in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.

Improvements in Rims and Pneumatic Tyres of Wheels for Cycles
and other Vehicles.
FRANK HEDLEY MINGAY, Bank Teller, Berfield, Bridge of Weir, N.B., do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows::
--
My said invention has for its objects to improve the construction of rims and
pneumatic tyres of wheels for cycles and other vehicles so as to facilitate the
attachment or removal of the outer cover and of the inner air tube.
In carrying out my invention the rim, which otherwise may be of the usual
design has a small ledge formed around part of its circumference but slightly
below the level of the inner edge of one side of the rim.
The cover is made with an endless wire going twice round and cased in the
circumference of one edge with the exception of a portion of the wire rather longer
than the ledge. This portion remains outside the casing in the edge of the cover,
so that when the tyre is inflated it rests on the aforementioned ledge. When the
tyre is deflated this portion of wire being near the circumference is readily slipped
over the edge of the rim and the cover can thus be easily detached.
The rim may be made with a ledge on both inner sides and the cover made with
a double endless wire encased in the circumference of each edge as hereinbefore
described.
Instead of attaching the air valve to the inner tube as has hitherto been done it
is according to my invention fixed in the rim and made with an inlet nozzle
over which a rubber sleeve formed in the air tube is passed thus permitting of
the ready substitution of a new air tube for one which may have been punctured
or otherwise damaged, especially when the air tube is of the butt ended type.

1, GOTTLIEB BENGER of 70 Böblingerstrasse, Stuttgart 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 :-
This invention relates to an improvement in shirts, drawers, singlets and the like,
by means of which the ends of the sleeves or legs may be suitably shortened
without the end seam or welt of the article of clothing thereby losing anything of
its durability.
This is attained by providing the ends of the arms or legs which are made with
a seam or welt in the ordinary manner, with a suitable number of extensions, also
provided with scams or welts, each of which is connected with the other and with
the ends of the arms or legs by means of a so called cut mesh insertion.
If a
sleeve or leg of the article of clothing is too long, one or more of the extensions are
removed by cutting through the respective cut mesh insertions, whilst the
remaining end or welt is in no way damaged. It is thus possible to make
sleeves or legs shorter in length without it being necessary to stitch or bind the
same.
In the accompanying drawings,-
Figure 1 shows as an example a pair of drawers;
Figure 2 a singlet or under shirt;
Figure 3 shows on a larger scale the end B of a sleeve with two extensions b¹ b
which are each connected with one another and with the sleeve by means of a cut
mesh insertion c. The outermost extension 2 is shown in Figure 3 as already
partially severed. By cutting through the cut mesh insertion, the remaining end or
welt c is in no way injured, that is to say a regular sleeve end or welt is always
obtained, it being immaterial how many extensions b¹³ etcetera are removed.
Separate threads of some other colour are preferably employed for the cut mesh
rows in order that when cutting off, the lines of section of the cut mesh may be
exactly adhered to.
Any suitable number of removable extensions of suitable length may be
employed simultaneously.
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,
Shirts, drawers, singlets and the like having sleeves and legs which may be
shortened, characterised by the sleeve or leg ends being provided with a suitable
number of extensions so connected with one another and with the articles of
clothing, that by cutting off one or more of such extensions along one of the cut
mesh rows the arm or leg may be suitably shortened whilst the remaining welt or
end is uninjured, substantially as hereinbefore set forth.

An Improvement in Boots and Shoes.
I, MONTAGUE BRANDON, of No. 56 Commercial Street, in the County of London,
Boot and Shoe 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:-
In the manufacture of boots and shoes it is usual in many cases to cut obliquely
a channel along the margin of the sole at a little distance from its edge, to turn
back one edge of the channel and to stitch through the leather at the bottom of
the channel and the upper leather, after which the edge of the channel is turned.
down so as to conceal the stitching along it. When the sole leather is compara-
tively thin the channel cannot be cut deep enough to conceal the stitching withou!
leaving the leather at its bottom too weak. My invention relates to means of
effecting stitching of the outer sole the upper leather and an inner sole without
materially weakening the outer sole even when it is of thin leather. For this
purpose, I prepare and fix the soles and upper leather as I shall describe referring
to the acompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a transverse section of a boot or shoe showing the parts in condition
to be fixed together by stitching.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section shewing the parts stitched and the stitching
concealed.
I temporarily fix the upper leather U in the usual way to the inner sole I, and
1 prepare the outer sole by slitting it along its edge and turning back one side
of the slit as indicated at A. I then by stitches secure together the inner sele,
the upper leather, and the outer sole, and finally, coating the sides of the slit, with
rubber or other suitable cement I flatten down the edge A of the slit so that it
quite conceals the stitching, and is cemented to the other side of the slit.
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:-
The herein described method of fixing together the inner sole, the
and the outer sole of a boot or shoe.

condition.
We shall describe the construction of a lamp according to our invention, referring
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view,
Fig. 2 is a side view, and
Fig. 3 is an end view partly sectional.
The boss A slides upon a stationary part of the lantern or other apparatus to which
the lamp is applied; to A is hinged a piece B, the hinge having a clamping screw to
hold B in the position to which it may be adjusted. In the piece B are fixed two
parallel frame rods E along which slide but cannot turn two pieces carrying insulated
carbon holders G H. Between the two carbon holders and sliding similarly upon the
two frame rods E we arrange a bearing F which can be slid along the rods E by a
screw L engaging in it as in a nut and prevented from moving lengthwise by a pin
engaged in a groove of L. In order to move the carbon holders G H to and from
one another, we provide a screw K held in the piece F by a pin fin a
groove so as to have no motion lengthwise. The screw engages in the carbon
holders G H the thread in the part of it on the one side of F being right-handed,
and that on the other being left-handed, so that by turning this screw K the two
carbon-holders G H are caused to approach to or to recede from one another. By
the screw K, therefore, we provide for the adjustment of the length of the arc
whilst by the screw L, we provide for the adjustment of the position of the arc in a
line parallel to the rods E.
At a convenient distance from the arc, and adjustably fixed with a clamping
screw to A is a rod C, carrying a screen d, preferably of ground glass, to receive
the image of the arc cast upon it by the rays passing through a pin-hole in a
plate D also carried by the rod C, between the arc and the screen.
To observe variations in the position of the arc we place upon the screen d suitable
indicating lines to which the image of the arc may be referred.
In operating with the lamp the head k of the screw K is turned causing the carbons
to approach to or recede from each other as required for the striking of the arc and
the feed of the carbons, then the head of the screw L is turned, moving both carbons
simultaneously until the arc is in such a position that its image is thrown on the
screen d in proper position, the arc being thus adjusted to the required position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A hand-fed focussing electric lamp, constructed and operating substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

page_text: 2. In a focussing electric lamp, a pair of screens held at a distance apart, the one
having a small hole presented towards the light, and the other being semi-transparent
and having centering marks substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

GEORGE LLOYD, 105, Lewis Street, Newport, Monmouthshire, Engine Fitter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The above guage consists of two columns of glass, (or other suitable substance),
containing mercury, (or other suitable fluid) actuated by pressure to show the
exact load of ships.
The guage is actuated by means of hole in each side of ship, near the
centre, at a suitable distance below the load-line, forming a column of water
which forces the columns of mercury (or other fluid) to their equilibrium at
which point a mark (or marks) is fixed corresponding with Board of Trade load-
line marked on each side of ship.
The above holes and columns are connected by means of a suitable air-pipe.

GEORGE LLOYD, 105, Lewis Street, Newport, Mon., Engine Fitter, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-
The above guage consists of two columns of glass or other suitable substance, A
containing mercury or other suitable fluid, B which fluid is actuated upon by
pressure, to show the exact load and list of ships.
The fluid B in the guage is actuated upon by means of a hole C in each side
of the ship, F near the centre, at a suitable distance below the load-line, which,
when actuated upon by the sea-water, D forms a column of water which forces
the column of mercury (or other fluid) B to its eqiulibrium, at which point a
mark (or marks) E is fixed corresponding with Board of Trade load-line L. R.
marked on each side of ship, F also divisional lines to indicate the gradual rise
and fall of columns, B by which means lists or differences may be easily detected
and measured.
The connection between these holes C and the aforementioned columns of
mercury (or other fluid) B consists of an air-vessel G at each side, of suitable
dimensions, for the purpose of keeping the columns of water D down to the lowest
possible point, ensuring the possibility of a correct guage at any required distance.

page_text: The said air-vessels G are connected to the guage by means of very small
air-pipes H and are also provided with stop-cocks I to shut off the sea-water D
whenever necessary.
The guage is hung by means of a hinge J which moves either way to suit
the pitching or rolling of the ship in a heavy sea and will always remain perfectly
upright. It may be fixed in any suitable place in the ship where desired.
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:
-
Load, draft, or load and list guage, actuated by pressure, for the purpose of
showing load, draft, or load and list of a ship.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
"Improvements in the Preparation of Accumulator Plates."
I, DR CARL AUGUST BENNERT, manufacturer of Godesberg, near Bonn-on-Rhine,
in the German Empire 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 the preparation of accumulator plates and is
applicable to plates of all kinds and shapes, either with or without solid cores or
to woven or moulded plates or to frame plates or grids filled with active material.
The improvement consists essentially in the use of plumbic oxide and peroxide
prepared from electrolytic white lead or electrolytic plumbic hydroxide. The
oxide or peroxide of such origin being in a state of extremely fine division, the
capacity of the plates is greater and the weight less than with the commonly used
lead compounds.
By way of example:-By means of the process detailed in specification
No. 14801 dated 1895 a white lead may be obtained a given volume of which
weighs about one half of an equal volume of the product previously on the market.
In like manner the plumbic oxide and peroxide obtained from this product of
the electrolytic process is about one half as heavy as the finest and lightest kind
of the respective compounds hitherto produced.
In consequence of the use of the lead oxide or peroxide prepared from electro-
lytic white lead or electrolytic hydroxide of lead for the preparation of accumu-
lator plates, there is attained both a diminished weight and an increased capacity
of plates. Besides this there is the further advantage that these lead oxides possess
a degree of purity previously unattained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
Preparation of accumulator plates, characterized by the use of plumbic oxide
or peroxide prepared from electrolytic white lead or electrolytic lead hydroxide,
for the purpose of diminishing the weight of the plates and of increasing their
capacity in consequence of the extreme fineness of division and purity of these
odes.

An Improved Stuffing Box.
Year: 1897

page_text: Date of Application, 18th Feb., 1897-Accepted, 17th Apr., 1897
An Improved Stuffing Box.
I, HUGO WEGELIN, of 9A Schülestrasse, Augsburg in the Empire of 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 :-
Stuffing boxes with glands as hitherto used have the inconvenience, that they
wear out in a short time and become enlarged and must therefore be renewed.
Also the piston rods passing through them wear out so that loss of steam or gas etc.
results.
In the present invention a cylinder head b is arranged on the cylinder a, and is
shaped in the middle to form a tube c of small diameter, the length of which
corresponds to the dimensions and kind of cylinder. Through the tube passes the
piston rod d of the cylinder, which rod is at one place of a larger diameter where
it is provided with packing rings e.
In the drawing is shown a so called tandem cylinder, which consists of two
cylinders a a lying one behind the other in the same axis.
In this kind for both cylinders there is required one piston guiding and packing
head or disk, which is fixed in the centre that is at the connecting line of the
cylinders.
Where the invention is applied to ordinary single cylinders, the tube c is shortened
outside and the piston rod d'ends outside the packing rings.
With this construction the previously mentioned inconveniences are not found
because the split rings or the like used for packing are always taking a better fit
and thus give a better packing the longer the machine is in operation. The
wearing of the piston rod as well as loss of steam or gas etc., are thus avoided.
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: :-
An improved stuffing box in which the cylinder head or disk (b) is formed with
an elongated tube (c), into and through which the piston rod (d) untouched by
stuffing box glands passes and tightly closes against the inner wall of the tube by
means of a special part or adjunct (e) of said cylinder.
