An Improved Method of Attaching the Picking Strap to the Picking
Stick or Arm in Looms.
A communication to me by KARL GUSTAV HELD, of Zittau, in the Empire of
Germany, Tavern Keeper.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
In the method ordinarily adopted for attaching the picking strap to the picking
stick in looms, the two ends of the doubled strap have been passed through a slot
formed obliquely in the end of the picking stick or arm, as illustrated at a in
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, the ends being then wound a sufficient
number of times round the stick, and fastened by a thread or string. In this
method of arrangement the part of the strap leaving the slot and passing thence to
the picker had to be bent over the sharp edge of the slot in the cylindrical end of
the picking stick or arm, such part being consequently exposed to considerable
wear during the motion of the picker.
By the present invention this defect is efficiently remedied by coiling the strap
concentrically round the end of the picking stick or arm as shewn in the drawing
(Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). The two ends of the doubled-up strap are passed under
a forked guide fixed to the end of the picking stick, and are then wound round
the latter and are attached to it in the usual way by a thread or string.
As shewn in Figures 2, 3, and 4, the part of this strap leaving the outer surface
of the picking stick or arm at c (Figure 4) is subject at this point, whilst the
picker is moving, to a to and fro motion from the said stick or arm, but in such
a manner that no friction takes place between the strap and the picking stick, and
consequently the said strap not liable to wear. Moreover the edges of the strap
are not in contact with the two side prongs of the guide b, as on account of the
peculiar constrained movement of the picker d the strap cannot shift laterally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The method of attaching the picking strap in looms to the end of the picking
stick or arm, by passing its ends through a forked guide fixed to the end of the
picking stick, and then winding it concentrically a sufficient number of times round
the picking stick, and attaching it to the latter, substantially as described and
shewn in the drawing.

Improvements in Fire Grates for Puddling, Heating, and similar
Furnaces.
1, HENRY WARRINGTON, of Berry Hill and Holly Bush Colliery and Iron
Works, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire Ironmaster, 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 the fire-grates of puddling, heating and
similar furnaces, and consists principally in placing the fire-bars in a steeply inclined
position, and securing them firmly in such position, whereby the combustion is
greatly augmented whilst the loss or escape into the ash-hole, is greatly minimised.
An inferior quality of coal or slack, instead of round coal, may be used, with
equally good results, thus reducing the cost of the fuel consumed.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a pair of puddling furnaces, with my improvements
applied thereto, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section, thereof.
Referring to Fig. 2, a is the fire-chamber, and are the furnace-bars, which
instead of being horizontal, are inclined downwards from the end of the furnace
towards the bridge c which separates the grate from the hearth d, upon which the
metal to be puddled or heated, is placed.
The bars d are securely fixed in bearers e and the fuel is fed thereto, through a
hopper f, either by hand or mechanical means, as may be preferred, thus dispensing
with the usual large opening and shutter for closing the same usually situated at
the side of the furnace, and requiring only a small aperture g to admit a rod or
staff for trimming the fire.
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 improvements in puddling and other furnaces, substantially as herein
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. In furnaces such as described, the combination of inclined grate-bars 6 with a
feeding hopper f in manner and for the purpose substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Sash and Axle Pulleys.
SAMUEL WELTON JOHNSON Hardware Merchant 16 Moseley, Street 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 object of this invention is for hanging sash windows so that the sash weights,
which balance the sashes will hang clear of the side of the weight boxes. This
cannot be done with the ordinary pulleys now in use, which is the cause of the
frequent breaking of sash cords and chains from the jerking of the weights against
the sides of the weight box, in opening and closing the sashes.
I therefore place 2 or more wheels or sheaves in an axle pulley frame and placed
horizontally or on an inclined plane as may be found most suitable and then run
the sash cord or chain from the face of the axle pulley right over the top of the
2 or more wheels and down at the back of the axle pulley into the weight box, the
sash weight being then attached, it hangs clear in the weight box. The sash then
moves smoothly, free from jerks and all friction of the weight against the
weight box.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I have prepared the
following drawings.
Fig. 1 side elevation of pulley.
Fig. 2 side elevation of pulley with cover plate removed.
I make the wheel and axle all in one piece, or with wheel revolving on a fixed
axle, as may be found most suitable.
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 adoption of 2 or more wheels or sheaves placed horizontally, or on an
inclined plane, or angle, in an axle pulley frame, for the purpose of carrying the
sash cord or chain clear into the centre of the weight box of a window frame, so
that the sash weight may hang clear into the centre of the weight case.

"N" is the bore of the gun. "A" is the projectile. To this projectile is
attached by flange I" or otherwise the rod "C" and to "C" is fastened the line
by the loop "O." K" is another bore in the end of the gun and through this
passes the line.
"H" is the powder bag in which is placed the powder charge for
firing the projectile "A." "B" is a copper reel on tube at one end of which is a
flange which lies against the back of the gun in the bore.
To fire the line I attach to the projectile "A" by flange "1" (bolted or other-
wise fastened to the projectile) the rod "
C." then fix the reel or tube "B" in
the centre of the gun and at the end of the bore and then enter the charge around
this tube "B" in the powder bag "H." I then enter the projectile "A with the
rod "C" fixed on same. This rod passes through the tube or reel "B".and
bore "K" and is then connected with the line by the loop "O." All that is now
wanted is to fix the gun in position and fire it.
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
That by my invention i.e. making a false bore in the rear of the gun and fixing a
copper reel or tube "B" as shewn in the drawing annexed I can use an ordinary
gun or cannon which will give greater and better results than the ordinary method
now used ie. it will fire to a greater distance and with straighter and surer aim.
My points in fixing the copper reel or tube "B" in the position shewn is to
prevent the line from being burnt after the charge has been fired and while it is
running through the gun-the flange attached to this reel or tube and fixed a

Improvements in Gas Motors.
I, EMIL CAPITAINE of Eilenburg in the German Empire, Civil 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 consists in the application to gas motors of an inlet valve for the
gaseous mixture which valve acts automatically, that is to say, without being
driven mechanically by valve motion or gearing, and in the form of construction of
this inlet valve whereby the gaseous mixture is advantageously distributed in the
combustion chamber.
The combustion chamber with the inlet valve for the gaseous mixture is shewn
in the accompanying drawing in cross section.
A is the combustion chamber of a gas motor working with one explosion to
every two revolutions. B the inlet valve casing. C the igniting tube. b, is a
valve or spindle b. c is another valve mounted on spindle so as to be capable of
sliding thereon. Whilst valve b shuts off the combustion chamber A from the
outside, valve e serves for shutting off the gas supply passage d. Valve c is pressed
by spiral spring e against stop pin and the distance between the two valve
parts b, c, is such that as soon as b closes against its seating c closes the gas supply
passage.
g
On the screwed upper end of valve spindle b', there are two nuts between
which is fixed a spring pressing by both its sides against cylindrical part of
valve casing B and sliding thereon when the valve spindle is moved. By the
frictional resistance thus brought about, the noisy vibration of the valves is
prevented.
As shewn in the drawing, the entering gaseous mixture is caused by port k to
unite itself into a compact stream in order that it may pass into the combustion
chamber at a very low velocity, the intention being to prevent a whirling move-
ment of the gases in the combustion chamber and cylinder by means of the
entering gaseous mixture. The recess in port k has for effect, the provision near
the igniting tube aperture of a clean gaseous mixture which latter is elsewhere
more or less mixed with the products of combustion remaining behind in the com-
bustion chamber.
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 gas motors the combination of double valve b, b, c, with sliding spring and
inlet port k, l, for the purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.

An Improved Oil Lamp.
EDWARD NORDIN NORTON 32 Huntingdon Street Barnsbury N. Carver &
Gilder 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 the introduction of a syphon or small pipe to convey the oil
from the container to the cotton or burner.
The lamp I propose to make consists of a main vessel containing oil, from which
a tube or tubes proceed, to convey the oil in small quantities to a burner or burners
any distance away.
The accompanying drawing is a part section of a lamp according to my inven
tion in which A. is the main vessel B the syphon and C the burner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is:
1. Extra safety. In other lamps the burner is placed immediately over the
vessel containing the oil. In the lamp which I propose to be made, the burner is
separated from the vessel of oil by a small tube, which conveys the oil to the wick
(which is in another vessel apart from the main one containing the oil) in such
quantity as is required to supply the light. In this way, if the lamp should be
upset, only a small quantity of oil could escape through the small tube or tubes
connecting the main vessel with the burner or burners.
2. Additional supply of light, because on the principle of my lamp, the vessel
containing the oil can be connected by means of small tubes with as many burners
as may be required; and thus one lamp may give light to a very large room by
increasing the number of tubes connected with burners.

Improved Means for Advertising.
I HENRY WILLIAM HALL of 79 Endell Street, Long Acre, Coachbuilder, 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 improved means for advertising; the object of same
being chiefly to utilize the side mirrors in handsome cabs, and the mirrors placed in
other public vehicles for the purpose of reflecting an advertisement in a striking
and novel manner, the general reflecting purposes of the mirrors at same time being
in no degree affected by same.
And in order that my invention may be more readily understood I have shown
same upon the accompanying drawing, in which
Fig. 1 is a front view of a mirror with my invention applied thereto,
Fig. 2 being a perspective view of a part of the interior of a handsome cab,
showing my invention as applied to the side mirror thereof, while
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my invention shewn inverted for the purpose of
more clearly showing the arrangement of the advertisement.
a is a shade or cover formed of tin or other suitable material, whether metal or
otherwise, which is fixed to the existing mirrors by any suitable means, at a
downward sloping angle of about forty five degrees. On the inner surface of the
shade or cover a is placed an advertisement c (Fig. 3).
This advertisement is printed, painted or placed in any other suitable manner on
the said inner surface of the shade or cover, in a reversed position, so that the
mirror will reflect same back in its natural form as shewn at c¹ in Figs. 1 and 2.
The shade or cover a can be japanned or covered with any suitable material, and
I may or may not dispense with the sides a', as desirable or convenient.
The whole shade or cover can also be formed integrally with the frame of the
mirror instead of being formed separate as before described.
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 shade or cover a provided with an advertisement c on the under surface of
same for placing over a mirror in manner substantially as described and shewn and
for the purpose set forth.

JOSEPH SILVERS WILLIAMS, Glass Manufacturer, Brierley Hill Staffordshire,
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:-
I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for an improvement on the
method of treating glass cullet known as "Blacks" in the removal of the iron scale.
"Blacks" is a technical name known by glass manufacturers to mean the glass
that is removed from the blowing irons, which invariably brings with it a portion
of scale mainly oxide of iron, the scale is fast to the glass and very detrimental to
using again for making into best colourless glass.
My improvement consists of boiling the acid or acids now in use for the cleaning
of the "Blacks" by the application of a jet or jets of steam into the acid bath and
so making it hot, this causes the acid to act upon the iron on the glass much more
rapidly and so saves time in its removal, from the glass, this being an improvement
on the old way of using the the acid cold, or the acid may be heated by fire placed
under the acid bath.
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 use of hot hydrochloric acid hot nitric acid and sulphuric acid for use in
steeping and cleaning the iron from glass cullet known technically as "Blacks"
before remelting and manufacturing into colourless glass articles.
Dated 27th day of February 1892.
