Improvements in Movable Floors for Fowls-houses, Rabbit-hutches,
and similar Articles.
I CHARLES ALLAN JONES of Hatherley Works Gloucester Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A fowlshouse with a floor above the level of the ground supported in that position
by means of four or more connecting rods pivotted at their lower end to the
framework of the house and at their upper end to the underside of the floor so that by
pulling the floor forward these connecting rods impart a sort of parallel motion to the
floor and lower it into a convenient position for cleaning it. When lowered forward
in this way any person can stand on the ground inside the fowlshouse and get the
advantage of the extra head room thus obtained for internal whitewashing and
cleansing operations. By lifting the floor the connecting rods serve to guide it back
again into its normal position.

Improvements in Advertising.
HENRY FABIAN Engineer 125 King Henry's Road South Hampstead 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:
I take paper leaves of a desirable size and manufacture which leaves may or may
not be scented or disinfected, I bind together these leaves so that they can be used as
a book of reference, each leaf being perforated along the edge near the binding so as
to allow of its being readily extracted for use; upon either or each side of the leaves
around the border or upon any part I either print, perforate or stamp in relief (by
which latter means I avoid the use of printing inks) advertisements consisting of a
series covering several leaves, I intend that such series of advertisements shall reappear
in each book of leaves several times, such advertisements are printed, stamped or
perforated upon the leaves before binding into book form and advertisements may
either consist of reading matter or of illustrations and will be obtained from variou
firms and compiled as before described and given away free of all charge for use in
Public and private lavatories and water closets and other purposes.
By my improved system of free distribution advertisers will readily place their
advertisements because I can guarantee a certain circulation to a certain class of users
within a certain period which in the case of selling would be impossible.
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. An improved mode of advertising as substantially set forth whereby my advertised
leaves are available for use and yet form a standing book of reference to advertisers
until exhausted and are not subject to be wasted.
2. The production of advertisements for sanitary purposes without the use of
printing inks.
3. Leaves scented making them agreeable.
4. Free guaranteed distribution amongst certain classes of users whereby advertisers
ensure success.

An Improved "Staff" for Underground Levelling.
I, WILLIAM RAMSAY, of Tursdale Colliery, West Cornforth, in the County of
Durham, Mining Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said 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 my invention is to enable underground surveying, as in coal or other
mines tunnels &c. to be more readily and accurately performed by forming the scale
portion of the staff" of some translucent material, preferably of white glass, with
a ground, or enamelled surface, or translucent china or earthenware, upon which
the divisions, into feet and inches, are painted with black, red, or other prominent
colour, so that, by a lamp being held behind by the "staff" carrier, the figures can
be read off by the leveller himself.
With the staffs" commonly used the leveller is unable to read off with certainty
the figures, even when a lamp is held in front, and the "staff" carrier generally,
under his direction, moves his finger as a pointer up or down the staff till told to
stop and then has to read off the figures and in doing this mistakes are frequently
made.
With my translucent "staff" if any mistake is made it must be the fault of the
surveyor himself, as the lamp, held behind the staff, illuminates nearly the whole of
its scale and the carrier has only to hold the staff and the lamp.
I have used the translucent "staff" to test its advantages and have found it of
great service in facilitating levelling and insuring accuracy.
The translucent scale will be preferably fixed in a wood frame protected at the
ends by brass mountings, as the ordinary" staffs are.
22
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 underground surveying the construction and and application of a " staff"
having the scale formed of translucent material with the divisions and figures.
marked thereon in prominent colour or colours.

WALTER WILSON of 47 Eyre Lane Sheffield in the County of York General
Turner 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 has for its object the production of an improved tool and spike box;
which will be compact and convenient to carry; handy and effective in use, to hold,
and contain tools and spikes, said box also acting as a key or driver for screwing
spikes to boot and shoe soles or analogous articles.
I will now proceed to describe the manner of carrying out my invention, by
reference to the drawings hereto annexed, of which Fig. I is a view (full size) with
the box open, and with the pricker, screw driver, and spike in their respective socket
key ways.
Fig. II a view in perspective of the box closed and the socket key ways
unoccupied.
Fig. III views of spikes and pricker.
A is a circular box preferably cast with an extra thickness B, and also cast with
stop pillar C, and lid pillar D.
E is the lid with opening slot F and stop slot G ; lid E is swung on a screw or its
equivalent passing through the lid into pillar D. H is the pricker, I the screw
driver, and J the spike in their respective socket key ways. (See Fig. I.)
In Fig. II the socket key ways to receive the pricker, screw driver, and spikes are
shown in three sizes, to take interchangeably different sizes in spikes and tools.
Fig. III views of three spikes and pricker all of which are of a well known type
and therefore not described in detail.
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine or restrict the scope of my invention
to a box of a circular type only; because it must be obvious that a square, hexagonal,
or other shaped box with a sliding lid, would practically answer the same purpose;
but such a box would be more costly to manufacture, and not so convenient to
carry in the pocket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
First. A box and combination tool, having socket key ways, and an extra thick-
ness B; to hold tools & spikes, with stop C and pillar D, slots F and G in lid E;
as specified.
Second. The combination with a box and combination tool for holding and in-

Improved Rotary Heel Fittings for Boots and Shoes.
1. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS ELLIOTT of Bridge House, Hopkins Street, Footscray, near
Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria, Australia, Contractor, 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, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings and to the figures and letters marked
thereon.
The object of my invention is the construction of a heel for a boot that will always
present a level surface, so that when any part of the face of the heel becomes worn,
by rotating the same, the less worn portions of the heel are in turn brought under the
point of pressure where the friction takes place, and thus a level surface is always
maintained. By the avoidance, by this means, of the over-tread, the liability to
accident is thereby greatly reduced, especially in the case of weak ankles, and the
wear is also thereby much lessened.
Figure 1 is a front elevation, Figure 2 is a back elevation, and Figure 3 is a cross
section of the rotary heel fittings, and Figures 4 and 5 are separate elevations of the
two parts of the same.
I construct, of gun or other metal, a plate, (A) circular in shape, and about one
eighth of an inch or less in thickness, and of any required size. This plate is
hollow in the centre, and in fact forms merely a rim, the inner edge being rabetted
out for half its thickness on the upper side, so as to exactly fit and receive a smaller
plate (B). This smaller plate is circular in form and of the same thickness as the
marginal plate before described, and is rabetted on the lower side of the outer margin
to exactly fit the marginal plate. The marginal plate is fixed on to the inner sole of
the boot by nails or screws, and the inner or central plate is similarly fixed to the
leather heel of the boot. The mode of fixing the lower heel on to the plate is by
screws driven through a hole left purposely in the sole of the boot. After the
heel has been been screwed on, the hole in the sole is filled up with a leather plug.
The plates, being accurately fitted together, and faced to an equal thickness with the
revolving plate on the inside, they are not affected by climatic influences and work
with perfect precision and silence.
The plates fit sufficiently close as to require a slight pressure to revolve the heel.
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 construction of rotary boot heel fittings formed of inner and outer rabbetted
plates and fastened in the manner substantially above described and for the purposes
specified.

from the shoulders to the front of the trousers or like garment and will be left
unattached to the shirt at their outer edges, 5, the front being attached to the said
body part of the shirt by an intermediate seam or seams, 6, or in any other suitable
way, resultant in leaving the open-sided or unattached flaps or lateral extensions, 3, of
the front, and which according to the present improvements constitute the means by
which the aforesaid object of the Invention is obtained, the braces being thereby
retained in position and hidden from view.
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 application to the body parts of shirts, of open edged overlapping parts of the
front in such a manner as to be effective in retaining the braces and hiding them
from view, substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: I, JACOB BRUST, of the City of Budapesth, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this said 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 an improved and novel adjustment for variou
articles of wearing apparel, but especially adapted to gentlemen's waist-coats, the
waist-coat forming the subject of my invention offering the enormous advantage
over those now in use that while admitting of an extremely easy and comfortable
wearing it fits closely to the body and accomodates itself readily to the variations
in the corpulence of the wearer, so that my improved garment may be worn with like
good advantage by persons possessing the most varied figures.
This is of the utmost importance with respect to waist-coats made of washable
fabrics for the reason that if constructed according to my invention it is impossible
for them to become too short or too narrow or be rendered unfit for use by the process
of washing.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing illustrates my invention, according to which
the breast or front parts A, B, of the waist-coat are not, as heretofore, sewn to the
back or rear part of the said garment, but in place thereof two small strips C, D, are
cut out from the fabric at the collar and provided, one with a button, the other with
corresponding button holes, or this arrangement may be substituted by a buckle of
well known construction.
From the hip portions of the front parts of the vest I cut out similar strips E, F,
and provide these also with buttons and button holes, buckles or their equivalents.
The strips of fabrics C, D, and E, F, may constantly remain buttoned or buckled
and the waist-coat be put on unbuttoned or opened as usual, and subsequently
buttoned.
If now it should occur that the waist-coat or other similar garment is too long or
too wide, it is only necessary to appropriately tighten the strips C, D, and E, F,
whereupon the said garment will fit closely to the body. If, on the other hand, the
vestment is too short or too narrow the said strips of fabrics are loosened until it fits
the figure of the wearer.

page_text: By means of the peculiar and novel arrangement of the aforementioned strips it is
possible for a waist-coator any like garment to be so readily adjusted as to accurately
fit any figure, that I may justly denominate my invention to be a
"universal
waistcoat."
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 adjustable waist-coat without the customary back part, and having
the front or breast parts A, B, connected and adapted to fit the body closely by
means of strips of fabric C, D, and E, F, by the corresponding regulation of which
the vest may be made to accomodate. itself to any figure, substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Rat and other Animal Traps for the Prevention
of any Substance Getting Under Plate when Set.
WILLIAM BAILEY Poultryman Easton near Wickham Market Suffolk 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 square iron box, to fit the plate of common rat & other
animal traps, with hole covered by a slip for the convenience of the setting of the
same hole underneath the aforesaid iron box.
Iron box to fit the plate so that the trap, can be set in corn meal dry or wet sand
or any earths, without any fear of same getting under plate, preventing the springing
of the same.
Accompanied by three drawings showing face back & section of trap.
I fit an iron box C as in plan to the plate of a common rat or other animal trap,
with opening in bottom of the box D, for the convenience of the setting of the trap,
the said opening D being covered when set by a slip E. for the prevention of any
substance getting under plate.
Letters A B signifies the section line as in drawing No. 3.
I claim for this improvement on rat and other animal traps, that nothing can get
under plate for the prevention of the springing of the trap, therefore is very useful
in all kinds of earths wet & dry, in corn meal &c. where difficulty attends the setting
and springing of common traps.
This improvement by the prevention of any substance by any means getting under
plate, ensures the springing of the trap under any circumstances.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cement.
I. CARL JOHAN WIDMARK, of Orebro, in the Kingdom of Sweden, Rag Dealer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
he performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of cement.
In carrying out the invention I take lime which has been burned and slaked in the
ordinary manner. and slate which has been burned and pulverized in any known
manner and I mix these materials together in proportions suitable for the purpose
from 0 to 75% slate to 100 to 25% lime. I then further burn or heat the mixture
to a hard condition in a furnace of suitable construction or in an open fire.
For certain purposes I employ lime alone reburned in the above described manner.
The re-burning having been effected the mass is pulverized and stored in a dry
place. When required for use water and sund, gravel or stone chips are added in
the ordinary manner. This cement can advantageously be employed in masonry
work and for plastering and casting etc. It can be used in both wet and dry
places and possesses the quality of hardening quickly; it is not liable to crack and
is exceedingly tenacious.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
"
The manufacture of cement by submitting lime (if only lime be employed) previously
burned to the ordinary degree, or both the herein mentioned ingredients previously so
hurned and well pulverized and mixed together, to a further burning under a high
degree of heat and then pulverizing it or them, substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: We, GEORGE ROBINSON, Engineer, and HORACE JAMES, Ironmonger, both of
Sheffield, in the County of York, 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 our invention is to form a fastener, which cannot be unfastened
excepting by a person understanding the system. To accomplish this, we take a
fastener of an ordinary type, consisting of a metal abutment fixed to one part of the
window sash it is desired to secure, into which is screwed the end of a short shaft,
which is passed through and revolves in another metal abutment secured to the other
part of the window sash.
We form the short shaft with a side projection and place upon the shaft one or
more short tubes or cylinders these cylinders are each furnished with a slot to allow
the projection upon the shaft to enter when it is unscrewed and slided away to free the
window, and are placed one outside the other, revolving freely upon each other, and
the short shaft. It will be perceived that to enable the shaft to be withdrawn it is
necessary that the whole-of the slots should be in one line. The proper position of
the tubes to each other for this purpose is indicated by means of signs, letters, or
numbers, marked upon the inner end or edge of each tube (which may be enlarged
or otherwise suitably formed for this purpose) and which when in proper position
form a combination, or word, known to the person whose duty it is to open the
fastener.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood we send herewith a Sheet of
Drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a section of the arrangement as fitted to a fastener
of the type beforementioned, a indicating the sliding bolt, b the projection e an inside
and d an outside slotted tube, e e being the metal abutments securing the fastener to
window frame. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of same.

on line A. B (Fig. 1) showing respectively the tubes in position for allowing the bolt
to slide, and out of position. Fig. 5 is a side view of tube d. Fig 6 is a front view
of the two tubes, showing method of indicating true position of slots.
improvements are applicable to any window fastener in which a sliding shaft or bar is
emploved.

Worm-gearing.
ANDREW GIBB 30 South Street Greenwich London S.E. Engineer do hereby declaro
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
In carrying out my invention, I so arrange that when a worm, and worm-wheel (or
segment of worm wheel) are used for various purposes, and one working into the
other, load the worm on one side, or at both ends with springs or levers, whereby at
a given load, the worm will yield, thereby increasing the load to overcome any extra
strain, and I also so arrange the worm that it can be easily lifted or drawn out of gear
quickly.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Worm-gearing.
ANDREW GIBB 30 South Street Greenwich London S.E. 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 carrying out my invention I arrange that when a worm & worm-wheel (or
segment of worm-wheel) are used for any purpose, one working into the other, to load
the worm on one side, or at both ends, with one or more springs, as marked A on
drawing, or an arrangement of levers, whereby at a given load, the worm will yield,
so increasing the load, to overcome any extra strain thrown upon the worm. I also
arrange the worm marked B, whereby it can be easily thrown out of gear from the
centre marked ('. The worm being driven by the shaft marked D, can be disconnected
at coupling, marked E, or it can be arranged with universal joints, as may be thought
advisable.
This gear, amongst other things, is very applicable to steering gears, & then it can
be so arranged that instead of throwing the worm out of gear at C, the shaft I may
be placed in slots, & so thrown out of gear, either by an eccentric, cotters, or keys.
Springs may be so arranged as to be either direct on the shaft, or on tie rods.
Thoy may also be arranged on crossheads at either end. The stop nuts marked F
are fitted to prevent the springs from being compressed too much. The distance
pieces between the two crossheads, marked G, are to prevent too much friction upon
either end of the worm, by the springs.
The space, marked H, hetween these distance pieces, is to allow the worm to move
to and fro, to give a certain amount of compression to the springs, and to avoid
hammering, or noise.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
That by my arrangement, I avoid (on account of the cushioning gear of springs)
any chance of the teeth of the worm, or wheel, being broken by any violent shock
that may be brought to hear on them.
