page_text: An Improvement in Uniting Hoop Feet for Metallic Buckets, Baths,
Cans, Pails, and Pans.
I, ENOCH PRIEST, of Clyde Works, 69 & 70 Temple Street, Wolverhampton, in the
County of Stafford, "Master Japanner & Galvanizer" 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 uniting hoop feet for metallic buckets,
baths, cans, pails and pans; and consists in the hoop being nicked in two places, and
the piece that is nicked being first raised up, and then braized; an improvement over
the usual method of rivetting.
The advantage of my invention being that it makes the hoop perfectly flush,
dispensing with rivets entirely; which said rivets are known to damage seriously in
packing in each other.
By preference the hoop may be united by means of cutting or forming a dovetail-
joint, and braize the same by means of hard solder or spelter, operated on by a blast
pipe and gas; the said solder or spelter being fluxed by powdered borax, or any other
fluxing material.
And in order that my Invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1, represents the ends of the hoop nicked or cut in two places. The centre
portion D is raised up above the surfaces I, I, of one end of the hoop marked B; the
other end A, has the two surfaces G, G, raised up to enable the said portions to lap
over the surfaces 1,1; and D, to lap over C.
Figure 2, denotes the hoop braized up; the dotted lines indicate the joint.
Figure 3, is the ends formed into a dovetail E, to fit in F, and the edges G' butt
together; and are braized up flush.
Figure 4, represents the hoop braized up; the dotted lines indicate the joint.
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:-
First: The nicking in two places of each end of the hoop, and the pieces nicked to
be raised or lowered, to fit in or lay on each other, and then braized together, substan-
tially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Secondly: The ends of the hoop to be dovetailed together and braized up, substan-
tially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.

Specification Accepted, 16th Mar., 1888
We, WILLIAM DAVIS of Harrington near Evesham in the County of Worcester
Builder and Contractor JOHN CROUCH of Royal Oak High Street Alcester in the
County of Warwick Foreman do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 for its object improvements in doors which are intended to
prevent draft from the bottom of doors or at any rate to reduce or minimize the
same. The inconvenience and annoyance and illness caused by drafts passing under
doors are too well known to require enumeration.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which we have
shown seven figures illustrating the same.
Figure 1 is a view showing the lower part of a door and the outer edge thereof
when partly open in perspective.
Figure 2 is a broken off elevation of the same door.
Figure
3 is a broken off part longitudinal section of the same door.
Figure 4 is a vertical cross section of the bottom part of the same door.
Figures 5, 6 and 7 are longitudinal and cross sections of a door showing a modi-
fication of the previous views as will be hereafter more fully explained.
In applying our invention the bottom part of the door K as seen at Figure 4 is
hollowed out at k¹ all across the bottom to receive india rubber or other rollers S
which may be made in any convenient number of pieces so that there will be no
liability to twist when the rubber runs as the door opens and shuts. The spindle or
pin M is passed through these rubber or other wheels supported by two plates such
as N at each edge of the door and these may be intermediate ones so that the pin or
spindle M may be shorter and not likely to bend and this will be determined by the
width of the door and the strength of the pin M. It will be seen that as the door
opens or shuts the rollers S turn faster or slower according to their position or distance
from the hinge or centre upon which the door is hung. By this means the rub
upon a carpet or floor is minimized and the door may fit close thus preventing
draft.

page_text: To accomodate for unlevel floors or unevenness of any kind we may make the
spindle or pin M loose in the rollers as seen by Figures 5, 6 and 7 so as to allow
any single piece or roller to rise or fall as seen by which are lifted as shown by
section Figure 7 leaving the space m¹ over the pin M. In their normal condition
they show in section as Figure 6 where there are the spaces m³ and m³ for liberty
of movement.
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 :-
The improvements in doors fitted at the bottom with a series of rollers which turn
independently of each other and adapt themselves to varying conditions substantially
as herein set forth and shewn on the drawings.

I PHILIP ARTHUR NEWTON of the Office for Patents, 6 Breams Buildings, Chancery
Lane in the County of Middlesex, Patent 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 :-
This invention is intended to lessen the labours of the typographic compositor,
and increase his effectiveness.
It consists broadly in having more than one sign, letter, or character, cast on a single
type body, and in uniting, in this way, a vowel and a consonant, or a consonant and
a vowel.
The following examples will assist in making the description clear, taking first the
combination of vowel and consonant, as
ab; ac; ad; am, &c.
Secondly:- consonant and vowel, as ba; ce; di; fo; gu; hy; &c.
The accompanying drawing illustrates two type bodies bearing one of each of the
above combinations.
It will be seen that there can be united with each letter of the alphabet, one other
vowel or consonant, as the case may be, and that where there are, in addition to the
founts of ordinary separate type, founts of the combined type herein described, the
compositor will be able to set up his work at a much faster pace than at present.
For instance, in setting up the word "deliberately," which contains twelve letters,
he must pick up twelve separate letters from the separate type fount, whereas, if the
Price 6d 1

page_text: fount herein described is convenient, he takes de, li, be, ra, te, ly, and performs the
work by six movements, or in about one half the time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my Foreign Correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
Combined type consisting of two signs, letters, or characters, say one a consonant
and one a vowel, cast on a single type body.

page_text: I, NORMAN MACFARLANE HENDERSON, of Broxburn in the County of Linlithgow
North Britain, 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, that is to say:-
My said Invention has for its object by an improved construction of holder to render
a miner's safety lamp capable of burning solid paraffin or a similar wax-like substance
in a satisfactory manner.
Figures 1 and 2 on an accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings are vertical
and horizontal sections of a safety lamp as made with my improved paraffin
holder.
The construction of the upper part of the lamp forms no part of my present Invention
but in the drawings. it is represented as consisting of a glass cylinder, A, to surround
the flame, and surmounted by two wire gauze caps, B, C, these parts being fixed in a
usual manner, down to a ring, D, which is made with a cylindrical shell, E, extending
down from it. The holder consists of a cylindrical cup, G, made to fit up into the
shell, E, in which it is secured by a screw, H. For containing the paraffin there is
provided an inner cylindrical box, K, made of thin copper; this inner box is however
separated from the bottom and sides of the holder, G, by a thickness, J, of asbestos or
carbon or other suitable substance which is a poor conductor of heat. In the top of
the box, K, there is fixed a brass ring, L, made with a small flange round its bottom
on the inside, on which flange there rests a disk, M, of copper having fixed to it a
burner consisting of a copper wick tube, N, and upper and lower parts of a copper
conducting tube, P. The disk, M, with the tubes, N, P, is secured by an upper
ring, Q, being screwed into the fixed ring, L. If it is desired to light the lamp, when
the paraffin is solid, and when it is not convenient to put the lamp in or on heating
apparatus to melt the paraffin, a few scrapings of paraffin may be put in the space

page_text: between the wick tube, N, and the conducting tube, P ; and on the wick being then
lit the paraffin so put in will immediately melt and find its way into the wick tube, N,
by a hole made in the side of that tube for the purpose. This will be sufficient to
start the lamp and the flame will then communicate sufficient heat to melt the paraffin
in the box, K.
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 The combination of parts forming the improved holder and burner for solid
paraffin or the like for a miner's safety lamp substantially as hereinbefore described.
2-In a holder for solid paraffin or the like for a miner's safety lamp, combining
with an outer casing, an inner box or container separated from the outer casing by a
thickness of asbestos or other suitable nonconductor substantially as hereinbefore
described.

Apparatus for Washing, Draining, and Sorting Minerals.
I, JOHN IMRAY of No. 28 Southampton Buildings Chancery Lane in the County
of Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent 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 :—
This invention relates to a construction of apparatus for draining and, sorting
minerals of all kinds, wherein the surface of the minerals in question is cleansed by a
spray of water and the sorted and cleansed minerals are conveyed away through
shoots into storage bins so as to avoid undue breakage, while the water passing off
from the minerals which contains sludge that is in many cases of some value is collected
and conveyed away for further treatment.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a plan and Fig. 2 a vertical section of
the said apparatus.
The minerals to be treated are conveyed along a shoot A together with water on to
an inclined screen B, which may be either stationary as shown or may have an
oscillating motion imparted to it in any known manner. As the minerals pass down
this screen water is injected on to them from tubes C, which water passes together
with the smaller particles of minerals on to a second screen D, from which the water
together with the sludge washed off flows down into a trough E which conveys it to
any desired apparatus for further treating the sludge such as that described in the
Specification to Patent No. 7399 of 1885 and to application for a Patent No. 6341
of 1888.
The sorted and washed coal or other mineral passes from the screens B and D
respectively into shoots F and G which convey it to storage bins.
If it be desired only to wash the minerals and separate the sludge or fine particles
therefrom the second screen D can be dispensed with, or on the other hand a third
screen may be added if a greater degree of separation is required.

page_text: Fig. 3 is a section shewing the arrangement with a single screen caused to oscillate
by revolving wipers H. The sludge and fine particles are conveyed by the water
along channel K to be farther dealt with. By opening a flap M the washed coal can
enter a channel L to be conveyed by water current to store bins or trucks.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
tion and in what manner the same is to bo performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
Apparatus for washing, draining and sorting minerals wherein the minerals are
made to pass together with water from a shoot on to one or more screens over which
jets of water are caused to play so that the sludge and fine particles are separated from
the minerals and are caused to pass together with the water into a trough or shoot for
conveying the same to wherever required substantially as herein described.

WILLIAM KLOEN Paper Merchant 71 St. Peters Road, Handsworth Birmingham,
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 ordinary Tea of commerce that is required to be coated with Sugar or Saccrine
compounds or other materials is first placed in a revolving copper pan, so constructed
that one pan fits inside the other but at the same time leaves a space between the two
that is filled with steam and which is connected with the hollow spindle through which
the steam passes to the pan, which spindle at the same time gives the rotary motion
and drives the pan Sugar or Saccrine compounds or other materials are then
reduced to a licquid state and are gradually added while the tea is revolving in the
pan, until the necessary degree of sweetness is obtained and the coating on the tea is
found to be sufficiently dry and hard and the time necessary to do this varies
according to the amount of Sugar or Saccrine compounds or other materials that are
required to be put on the Tea.
:
The amount of Sugar or Saccrine compounds or other materials required to be
added varies from the addition of one pound of Sugar or Saccrine compounds or other
materials to one pound of tea to ten pounds of Sugar or Saccrine compounds or other
materials to one pound of tea, but I prefer for general use three pounds of Sugar or
Saccrine compounds or other materials to one pound of Tea.

An Improved Boot and Shoe Cleaning Machine.
I, JAMES STANSFIELD, of Wellington Terrace, Todmorden, in the County of York,
Asphalte 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:-
It consists of two circular brushes, mounted in suitable standards, side by side, and
driven by three bevil cogwheels, (or their mechanical equivalent) in opposite directions,
one of the three cogwheels is mounted upon a horizontal shaft which carries a pinion
wheel suitably keyed upon its other end which is geared with and receives motion
from a larger tooth wheel, friction, or band wheel suitably attached to a flywheel driven
by hand, foot, or other power.
The brushes consist of metal cores upon which are fixed in any suitable manner
brushes made with wood, papier machine or, other suitable foundations.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood I send herewith a sheet of
Drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 gives a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan of the apparatus, in both Figs. a a
indicate the brushes, mounted upon metal cores bb and running in suitable bearing
standards c c.
Each metal core has attached to its inner surface a bevel cogwheel d, (shown in
dotted lines) which gears in the bevel cogwheel e mounted upon horizontal shaft f
which is actuated from pinion wheel g which receives its motion from tooth wheel h
attached to flywheel k, I preferably make the brushes with the curved surface
shown in drawing. The arrows ll show the direction in which the brushes revolve.
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 :-
:-
1st. The combined apparatus, substantially as described and shown hereinbefore, and
in the accompanying drawing, for the purpose set forth.

page_text: I, WILLIAM FRIEND of 234 Broadway in the City and State of New York, United
States of America, 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 rubber erasers used for erasing lead pencil or ink marks
from paper or other surfaces; and its object is to so construct the eraser that it can be
used in a closely written page or drawing without defacing or erasing the adjoining
words, figures or other marks; and when not in use, to protect its edge from coming
in contact with dust or dirt by means of its flanged centre-piece. It consists of a
rubber ring sprung in a groove in the edge of a centre-piece of wood, or other
suitable material, said ring being beveled in such manner as to give its periphery a
sharp edge.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved device.
Figure 2 is an edge view.
Figure 3 is a sectional view showing the manner of attaching the ring to the
centre-piece; and
Figure 4 is a modification showing the periphery of the eraser provided with
sharp points.
A is the rubber ring beveled to a sharp edge a, Figure 2; B is the centre-piece,
having a groove b in which is sprung the rubber ring A Figure 3; and C is a flange
raised upon the outer edge of the face c, Figure 1, to which may be attached a calendar,
or other printed matter.
It will readily be seen that this construction presents advantages not before attained;
such as the erasing of words or characters in a closely written page or drawing without
defacing or erasing the adjoining words; preventing the rubber from becoming soiled
by coming in contact with dust or dirt; enabling it to be used for a longer period
than any now known to the trade by reason of its increased erasing surface or edge;
and increasing the rigidity of the rubber by stretching and springing it over the
centre-piece thus causing it to present a much harder erasing surface than the

page_text: ordinary erasers now in use, without changing the quality of the rubber, which result
cannot be attained in the present forms of erasers.
It will be obvious that the centre-piece may be constructed with a beveled edge over
which the rubber may be fitted ; and also that the completed article can be made in a
variety of shapes without departing from the spirit of my invention.
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. A rubber eraser, consisting of rubber stretched and sprung on the outer edge
of a centre-piece, said rubber being beveled in such a manner as to give its periphery
a sharp edge, substantially as shown and described.
Second. In a rubber eraser, the combination of the rubber A, edge a, centre-piece B,
groove b, flange C, and face c, stubstantially as shown and described.

I, AMOS WAINWRIGHT of Sheffield Road, Barnsley, in the County of York,
Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
1 construct a suitable frame in which I suspend the cot cradle or chair by
suitable hangers and centres so as to have as little friction as possible. I preferably
employ -edged centres. I fix at one end of the frame clock mechanism operated
by coiled springs or weight, preferably by springs this operates a connecting rod
from the gearing to a spring attached to a bracket upon the hanger or other
suitable part of the cot cradle or chair, the spring is to break the suddeness of the
return motion.

Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.
of my automatic rocking cot, cradle
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail of, driving wheel connecting rod and spring arm.
I suspend the cot A by means of the hangers B at each end of the cot, the said
hangers B work upon pivots C secured to the frame D, these pivots are preferably
of a triangular form so as to give as little friction as possible.
The hanger at one end is provided with slots E in which is a stud F, to this stud
is secured the spring arm G from which is attached the connecting rod H to the fly
wheel M of the clock mechanism, which is placed in a suitable box N, the clock
mechanism may be operated either by springs or by weights and chains.
At the bottom of the cot is a stud which works in a slot K of a bracket L
attached to the frame D to prevent over-rocking and the lateral vibration of the
cot. The action is follows:-
The clock mechanism is wound up and the cradle started when the driving wheel
by means of the connecting rod and spring arm attached to the hanger pushes the
cradle backwards and forwards so rocking it for over one hour if required. The
spring arm assists the driving by overcoming the inclination to stop when upon the
dead centros, and is thereby indispensable to the well working of the apparatus.

page_text: 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
1st. Rocking cradles, cots, chairs, or the like by means of clockwork or trains
of wheels operated by springs or weights, chains or cords substantially as shown
and described.
2nd. The spring arm which connects the connecting rod and the hanger for the
purposes shown and described.
3rd. The use of triangular steel pivots as bearings for the cots or cradles to
decrease friction substantially as shown and described.
