COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Reflectors for Electric Arc Lamps.
I CARL COERPER, Director of The Society Helios, Ehrenfeld, Cologne,
Germany, 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 constructing reflectors which can be placed either directly
over or at some distance above the luminous arc of electric arc lamps for increasing
the illuminating effect and diminishing the waste of the carbon points.
Figure 1 of the annexed drawings represents such a reflector.
R is a reflector of any desired shape which can be fastened to the lamp rod in an
appropriate manner. The reflector R carries a socket P in the top of which is
fastened a guiding socket Q for the upper carbon point c.
Instead of the socket P a simple flange B can be arranged either above or below,
as is shown in Figures 2 and 3. The flange is closed at the top by a corresponding
guide piece Q. In all cases there must be between the carbon points and the
socket P or the flange B an empty space a, a, which causes
1. The heated gases to remain collected round the upper carbon point, by which
means the loss of energy from diminution of heat is lessened.
2. The supply of fresh oxygen to the luminous arc to be as much as possible
prevented.
The effect of these operative conditions is to increase the illuminating effect and
to diminish the waste of the carbon points.
In arrangements of this kind, openings or holes b, b in the reflector can be pro-
vided so as to produce at b, b, or any other points a necessary current of air.
Both the socket P, the guiding piece Q and the flange B can be constructed of
any material suited to the purpose, or they can be made of different materials put
together.
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. In electric arc lamps with a reflector of any shape placed directly over or at
some distance above the luminous arc, which reflector can be fastened to the lamp
rod in an appropriate manner, the combination of the reflector with a socket P
holding at the top a guide Q, closely surrounding the upper carbon point c there is
a vacant space a, a, as is represented generally in Figure 1.
2. The combination of the reflector with a flange B, directed either upwards
or downwards the inside of which is wider than the diameter of the carbon
point (so that between the inner wall of the flange B and the carbon point c
there is a vacant space a, a,) with a guiding piece Q of any desired shape, closing
the flange from above as is represented generally in Figures 2 and 3 for the purpose
of increasing the illuminating effect, and diminishing the waste of the carbon
points.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Sash-fastener.
I, SARAH ANN FAIRALL of 2 Heath Cottages, West Street, Storrington,
Sussex, Married, 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 sash-fastener and has for its object
to provide a simple inexpensive and at the same time an effectual means of securely
fastening windows and the like and that will in various other ways be superior to
the sash-fasteners heretofore in use.
And in order that my invention may be the more readily understood I have
shewn same upon the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings wherein :-
Fig. 1 represents a side view of my invention Fig. 2 an end view thereof Fig. 3.
shews a plan of same while Fig. 4 is a plan of the plate Fig. 6 is a sectional view
thereof Fig. 5 is a representation of the thumb screw Fig. 7 represents a view of a
portion of a window with my invention attached thereto.
My invention consists of the metal tube b constructed of brass iron or any other
suitable material provided with longitudinal tangential wings or flanges a which
may be cast integrally with the tube or otherwise. The flat plate thus formed by
the two flanges or wings is provided with screw holes c at each corner to facilitate
its being easily and securely attached to the window. I also provide a plate d with
a short central tapped tube d' having screw-holes c¹ at each corner, said plate and
tube being also constructed of any suitable material.
The thumb screw consists of the metal straight shank e upon which is cut the
screw e as shewn in the accompanying drawing said screw thread corresponding
with the tapped tube d'.
In carrying my invention into practice I attach the plate d¹ to the side of the
upper sash by means of screws (Fig. 7) the tapped tube being let into the said sash
so that the plate is flush with the surface. The flanged tube is screwed to the top
of the meeting rail of the lower sash ' in such a manner that when the sashes are
closed the thumb screw e can be inserted in the tube b and engaged with the tapped
tube d¹. It is obvious that upon further screwing up the thumb-screw e the sashes h
and h' will be drawn together and thus effectually and securely fasten the windows
and prevent rattling or draughts.
I preferably use two fasteners to each window (one on each side) thus doubly
securing the window :-
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 sash fastener consisting of the winged or flanged tube b the tapped tube
plate d in combination with the thumb-screw e substantially as described and for
the purpose set forth in and by the accompanying Specification and drawings.

A New or Improved Composition for so-called Incandescers for Oil,
Gas, or other Lamps.
A communication from abroad by LASSLO CHANDOR, of No. 44, Furstadskaia
Oulitza, St. Petersburg, in the Empire of Russia.
I, FRANCIS HASTINGS MEDHURST, of 13 Victoria Street, Westminster, in the
County of Middlesex, Electrical 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:-
In the Complete Specification accompanying the Letters Patent No. 6188 granted
to the said Lasslo Chandor, and dated the 30th day of March, 1892, an incandescer
or body to be rendered incandescent by a lamp flame is described and its composition
specified.
and
The present invention relates to improvements upon the said prior invention;
it consists of a new or improved composition giving a greatly superior effect, and
being considerably cheaper in construction.
The present invention differs from that specified in the said prior Specification
mainly in that no gum tragacanth or other gum or organic equivalent is employed.
In carrying the invention into effect instead of employing asbestos as the main
ingredient only a comparatively small proportion of asbestos is used. This is mixed
with equal, or nearly equal, quantities of chalk and of oxide of magnesium and with
a large proportion of powdered porcelain. Instead of using gum tragacanth or other
gum or organic equivalent, silicate of soda or of potash is employed as a binding
agent.
Having now described this invention in general terms, and so as to define its scope,
I shall proceed to describe the best way of carrying it into effect with which I am
acquainted.
I take by weight 55 parts of porcelain, 15 parts of asbestos, 15 parts of oxide
of magnesium and 10 parts of chalk, all in a finely divided condition. These I
mix with 45 parts of silicate of soda so as to form a paste. I then mould
them into shape, preferably into cylinders slightly tapering towards their ends.
and of about the size shown in Figure 1 of the said prior Specification, and dry
them in a drying oven. This done, the said cylinders are ready for use as
incandescers.
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 new or improved composition for incandescers for oil, gas or other lamps
substantially as set forth.
2. The specific composition for incandescers for oil, gas or other lamps which
consists of 55 parts by weight of powdered porcelain, 15 parts of asbestos,
15 parts of oxide of magnesium, 10 parts of chalk, and 45 parts of silicate of
soda mixed and treated as described

An Improvement in Safety Locking Bars for Railway Points.
I, CHARLES HODGSON, of Canterbury Road, Kilburn, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 :-
My invention relates to an arrangement of the connections for working a safety
locking bar for railway points in such a manner that should a train trail through
the points and its wheels come to bear on the bar when it happens to be in its raised
position the pressure thereon disconnects the bar from the rod that moves it and
allows it to drop clear of the wheels.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view of part of the safety locking
bar at the end which the wheels of a train trailing through the points would first
meet.
Fig. 2 is a plan, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sections at X X.
B is the safety bar which as usual
supported on a number of radii of which R
is one.
On the upper end of this radius is pivotted a lever L, one end of which is
widened out at 7 so as to present itself at the end of the bar B. The other end of
the lever L is provided with a notch in which engages a pin A on one arm of a
rocking shaft C, another arm on which is connected by the rod D to the lever
which moves the bar. When the wheel of a train trailing through the points comes
to bear on the end of the lever L, when the bar B is in its raised position, then
the end of the lever is depressed and the other end is raised so that its notch
becomes disengaged from A, and the bar B being thus disconnected from the
operating rod D is free to drop away from the passing wheels, all risk of fracture
being 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 :-
In combination with a safety locking bar for railway points, a lever mounted with
the bar and engaged with the rod which moves the bar substantially in the manner
and for the purpose herein set forth.

at the front of the material as in Fig. 2. The eye or loop is then covered as in
Fig. 3, with cotton or silk twist c.
The ends may be either straight; zig-zag, flat, looped, eyeleted or otherwise
in shape.
The object of my invention is to make a firm eye or loop instead of the usual
cotton or silk, and to avoid the metal shank shewing when using eyes.
It will be understood that the shapes and proportions of the parts of the
metallic eye, loop or shank, may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.
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 dress eyes or loops, the combination of the metallic eye or loop a and
ends with the cotton or silk twist c, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In dress eyes or loops the combination of the metallic eye or loop a and
ends 6 of a shape either straight, zig-zag, flat, looped, eyeleted or otherwise,.
substantially as herein described and for the purpose specified.

the receptacle from the outside, except by unlocking the same.
The stop d attached to the casing prevents the drawer b from being pulled out
far enough to permit access to the receptacle c through the opening which contains
the drawer.
The drawer bis preferably provided with one or more additional compartments
to receive change, and is here shown as provided with the ordinary change cups 8
and with longitudinal compartments 9, all located at one side of the com-
partment 4.
For convenience, I term the portion of the drawer including the change cups and
compartments the "change side" of the drawer, the compartment 4, having the
drop bottom, being the "sales side."
A salesman having occasion to give change, after making a sale, will place the
money received in the change side of the drawer, and will take from the same side
an equal amount, giving the customer the change due him, and depositing the
balance, which represents the amount of the sale, in the sales side of the drawer.
When the amount received by the salesman represents the exact amount of the sale,
so that no change is required, it is deposited directly in the sales side. When the
drawer is closed, the money representing the sale will drop into the receptacle or
holder c, where it will be inaccessible to the salesman.
It will be seen, therefore, that at the end of the day the money in the holder c
will be the sum of the day's sales, and the amount in the change side should be the
same at the close as at the beginning of the day's business. By thus depositing the
money received from sales every time the drawer is closed, so that it becomes
inaccessible to the salesman, I greatly reduce the opportunity for theft from the
money drawer, the only money constantly accessible being that in the change side,
the loss of any part of which can be readily detected.
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 money receptacle comprising a casing, a money drawer therein having a
change side and a sales side, the latter having a bottom which is held in position by
the casing when the drawer is opened and drops automatically when the drawer is
closed, and a cash-holder arranged to receive the contents of the sales side when the
drawer is closed, as set forth.

An Improvement in Tape Measures.
I, WILLIAM CHESTERMAN, of Bow Works, Sheffield, in the County of York,.
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 screw usually employed for retaining the spindle of a tape measure is apt.
to become unscrewed and lost, leaving the spindle free to move lengthwise out of
its end bearing. My invention relates to a method of forming the end bearing-
and combining it with the end screw in such a manner that the screw is not liable
to become loosened or unscrewed.
Fig. 1 is a section of a tape measure, with the end bearing of the spindle and.
screw arranged according to my invention,
Fig. 2 shews an elevation and plan of one form of eyelet washer and
Fig. 3 shews an elevation and plan of a modified form of the eyelet washer.
I make the end part of the spindle A of square section and fix on it an eyelet.
washer B such as is shewn in Fig. 2 the shank C of the eyelet being in the form.
of a square tube spreading out to a coned lip D. I drill a hole some distance up.
the centre of the spindle A and tap it with an internal screw thread and into this
I screw a conically headed screw E, the cone of the head fitting into the mouth D
of the eyelet.
The spindle A. instead of having its end part squared, may be round with a
flattened part on the side, the eyelet washer in that case being of the form shewn
in Fig. 3, the shank of the eyelet being flattened along one side, as shewn at F.
Obviously, the end part of the spindle and the tube of the eyelet may be other-
wise shaped so long as the eyelet cannot turn upon the spindle, as thus is prevented
such relative movement of the parts as would tend to loosen the screw.
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 :-
In a tape measure the combination with the spindle and fixing screw of an eyelet-
washer fitted on the spindle, both these parts being so shaped that the washer-
cannot turn on the spindle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Potato Washing Machine.
I, PAUL LÖWE, Merchant, of Cunnersdorf in the Kingdom of Saxony German
Empire do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the
same is performed to be particularly described in and by the following
Specification:-
The present invention consists of a simple device for use in household purposes,
for cleaning potatoes and the like said device consisting of a sieve or perforated
cylinder having an uneven rotary bottom, adapted to be turned by a hand lever.
The potatoes are placed in the cylindrical sieve on the rotary bottom and the whole
placed into a tub or other receptacle containing water. On rotating the uneven
bottom it is obvious that the potatoes will be set in motion rubbing against each
other and 'the sides of the sieve whereby they will be thoroughly and effectually
cleaned.
And in order to make my present Specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 being a vertical section through the apparatus and
Fig. 2 a plan of the same.
The cylindrical sieve may be formed by the vertical bars c attached around the
upper and lower hoops a and b, or by a suitably perforated plate, to which the
upper and lower cross bars d and e are attached. These latter bars carry the central
vertical spindle to the upper end of which is attached the hand lever
whilst at
the lower end the radially uneven rotary disc forming the bottom of the cylinder is
mounted.
In operation, the potatoes are placed within the cylindrical sieve on the rotary
bottom and the latter rotated by means of the handle g. The potatoes will
thus be set in a rotary rolling motion and be caused to rub against each
other and against the perforated walls of the cylinder, whereby they will be
thoroughly cleaned, the friction and water in tub removing all the earth
adhering to them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner it is performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A cylindrical sieve having upper and lower cross bars, a vertical spindle
mounted in said cross bars, having suitable handle and carrying at its lower
end a circular uneven disc, forming a bottom to the cylinder substantially as
described.
2. The combination of the upper and lower hoops a and b, vertical bars e joining
the same, horizontal upper and lower cross bars 'd, e a spindle f mounted in said
cross bars and having a handle at its upper end and at its lower end a rotary uneven
disc h, substantially as described and shown.

Improvements in Sewing Machines.
I, RICHARD APPEL, of Bockenheim, Frankfurt, Germany, Leather Belt
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 improvements in sewing machines, and is applicable to
that part of the machine called the hollow presser foot used in what is known in the
manufacture of corsets as piping and striping, and the object of my invention is to
so construct the hollow presser foot that the piping and striping may be executed
or accomplished at one operation.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings in the several
figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of
reference.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the hollow presser foot showing my
improvements.
Figure 2 is a section of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan.
All these figures are drawn to an enlarged scale.
In carrying my invention into practice I attach to the hollow presser foot a
tapering heel or plate B, having its lower ends b turned or bent inwards and the
upper ends connected together and forming a band b', as shown more particularly
in Figure 3. Passing down the heel B there is another plate C the ends of which
constitute little tubes or passages D through which the piping cord passes. The
upper part is connected to a small cover E having eyes ƒ for the cord to pass
through.
The cotton or other material in which the piping is done is passed down inside of
this plate B through the space G, and the piping cord through the eyes f and
down through the little tubular passages D, the material for striping being passed
down the guide H in the ordinary manner. While the cotton or other material is
being fed into the presser foot the edges of it become folded over these tubes D,
and thus form the pipe, and when the two materials meet at the point they are
stitched by the needles to the corset or other garment in the usual manner, after
which the stiffeners are inserted in the ordinary way.
It is to be understood that my improvements are applicable to all kinds of such
stitching; for instance silk, cloth, leather, etc.
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 sewing machines, constructing the hollow presser foot so that the piping and
striping may be executed or accomplished at one operation substantially as
hereinbefore described and shown.on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
