Improvements in Flyers Employed in Machinery for Drawing,
Spinning, and Twisting Fibrous Material.
I, WILLIAM WADSWORTH, of 3 Southfield Square, Bradford in the County
of York, Spinner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in flyers_employed in machinery for
drawing, spinning and twisting fibrous material. The speed of this class of
machinery cannot practically exceed a certain point owing to the excessive vibration
caused principally by the weight of the rapidly revolving flyers. And the object
of this invention is to enable this speed to be increased by materially reducing the
weight of the flyers and consequently reducing the vibration.
For this purpose I form my improved flyer of aluminium or a light alloy of
aluminium. And I may provide eyes and guards of harder metal or other material
to prevent the flyer being cut or too rapidly worn by the action of the yarn.
The central portion of the flyer or the part by which it is mounted may be formed
of or bushed with harder metal.

To prevent the yarn cutting or grooving the twizzles or eyes I may form them
of harder metal or material attached in any convenient manner to the flyer arms,
but as I find the aluminium itself fairly durable, and having regard to the facility
with which a worn or cut flyer may be recast, as well as the cost of attaching eyes
of other metal, and their additional weight, I do not consider it to be of much
practical importance.

mould on all sides; the biscuits are thus exposed at all points to the same
temperature.
In the same way the gases and steam may escape quite freely.
On one of the narrow edges of the bottom of the box A, a sheet of metal P,
bent at right angles, is attached, the object of which is to maintain a certain
distance between the moulds when they are arranged in their common holder.
This sheet of metal P is also perforated with holes.
The holder or grating Q, Figures 1, 2 and 3 is a long case of metal, the bottom
and sides of which are made of wire cloth or perforated sheet metal, held together
by an iron framowork. This case has handles R. at both ends, allowing it to be
moved about by means of suitable hooks. It is of course understood that the
general form of these holders depends above all on that of the oven, and con-
sequently it can be modified. But the essential characteristic which distinguishes
these cases is their being made of wire cloth or perforated metal which allows the
caloric to have free access to their interior.
This improved apparatus is used as follows in the manufacture of biscuits-
The paste or dough, when removed from the mechanical kneaders, is transferred
into suitable machines which deliver it cut into prisms of the shape and dimensions
of the biscuits. The moulds are filled with these pieces of paste or dough and they
are piled in the holder Q laid on their sides as shown in Figure 3.
The whole lot are allowed to remain quiescent in this position whilst fermentation
goes on in the moulds themselves. When the paste or dough has risen, the grating
cases Q are replaced on their bottoms and are inserted in the oven.
The moulds
rest on one of the narrow sides, and are arranged in contiguous rows, each one of
those in the same row being separated from the next by the projection of the
square piece P. In this way, as hereinbefore stated, the caloric has free access to
the case and to the moulds, and all the sides of the biscuits are exposed equally to
the same temperature, which is an essential condition for insuring regularity in the
baking.
The oven may have one or more compartments heated by means of steam, or in
any other suitable manner; I do not require to supply detailed explanations of
these, as my invention does not relate to any particular kind of oven.
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 construction of moulds suitable for use in baking bread or biscuits such
as hereinbefore described and with reference to Figures 4, 5 and 6 of the accom-
panying drawing.
2. The holders or cases of wire cloth or perforated sheet metal hereinbefore
described with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawing, and
for use as described.

Improvements in and connected with Joints for Railway Rails.
I, JULES SCHAEFER of 3 Rue de Génistre Luxembourg, 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 improvements in and connected with joints for railway
rails, the object being to provide a joint which will do away with the gap or space
which is usually left between the abutting ends of the rails to allow of expansion
and contraction.
To this end my invention consists briefly in the employment or application of an
elastically held junction wedge, the nature of which will be clearly understood by
reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of the improved joint;
Fig. 2 is a cross section on line A B, Fig, 1, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan on line C D, Fig. 2.
The abutting ends of each rail are cut on a slant, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so
as to form a triangular opening, the apex of which is towards the interior of the
roadway. The opening is filled by a piece of rail or block a which is wedge-shaped
in plan, its section being shown clearly in Fig. 2, from which it will be seen that
it is similar to an ordinary flange rail (when it is applied to a rail of this class),
but its web is not central and one flange c is considerably shorter than the other
flange d. This piece or block a is inserted between the rail ends which are secured
together by fish plates e e and the usual bolts, the wedge piece being confined
between the fish plates which support it under its head though it is otherwise free
to move laterally.
Between one of the fish plates and the webs of the two rails is inserted a spring
strip which is suitably curved so as to press upon the web b of the piece a, and
thus to keep the piece in the position shown in the drawings, where it will be seen
from Fig. 1 that a continuous tread is formed for the wheels.
It will be seen that upon an expansion of the rails taking place while the piece a
is forced toward the outer edge of the track against the pressure of the spring, the
continuity of the upper surface of the rails is always preserved, and when contraction
takes place the spring forces the piece back again.
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 employment in a rail joint of a loose wedge-shaped piece filling the
spaces between the rails, and elastically held in place, substantially as described.
2. The improved rail joint substantially as described and illustrated.

с
a is a lever with a hook part at the bottom end, e the socket head, e a spring
tending to keep the hook engaged through an orifice in the socket and in a recess
of the drill or bit spindle, to withdraw which it is only necessary to press the upper
end of lever a against the resistance of spring e when the drill may be readily
removed.
The hook part is of hardened metal for the purpose of avoiding wear and the
necessity for repairs.
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 a drill or boring brace, a hook lever a, b, mounted to turn on the socket head
in such a way that the hook enters under pressure of spring e into a recess formed
in the drilling or boring tool, a suitable orifice being formed in the socket head for

I will describe my invention
designed for the convenience of cyclists & others.
with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows a view of my improved
trouser hook and in the following description like letters of reference are meant to

'
To effect my purpose I take a piece of wire of suitable length and I sharpen
both ends as shown at e e. I then bend over the said ends to form hooks / and
I subsequently give the wire a central twist to form a loop at e' which serves as a
handle or part whereby to hold the hook when it is about to be used. The hook
has the combined advantages of great simplicity, there being no joints therein,

Improvements in Propelling Apparatus for Ships or Vessels.
I THOMAS ARMSTRONG of 150 Battersea Park Road in the County of Surrey
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 :-
In the Complete Specification and drawings left on the 5th day of April 1893.
in respect of an application for Letters Patent dated 29th January 1893, No. 1867
I have described my propeller or propelling apparatus as resembling in shape the
tail of a fish and referring to clause 4 of the claims I state that propellers may be
attached "at their inner end" to the shaft.
As it may appear from the said Specification and drawings that the propeller or
propelling apparatus can only be secured or attached at its smaller end; now, what
I desire to protect or obtain by this further Patent is the right to attach the
propeller of propelling apparatus at either of its ends or extremities as shewn in
the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. is a side elevation, Fig. 2 an elevation of the larger end, Fig. 3 an
elevation of the smaller end, Fig. 4 a side view of propeller, the curves of which
are of a less pronounced character.
All other details remain substantially the same as are set forth in the Specification.
above referred to.
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. A propeller formed of blades approximating in shape the tail or fins of a fish,
such blades being more or less bent or twisted; with the right of varying or
altering the inclination of each blade and of increasing, reducing, varying or
modifying in any proportions the diameter, length, width or measurements of the
propeller, the same being fixed to the shaft or countershaft by a boss or other
means and rotating by and with the shaft or countershaft.

Improvements in Ventilating Fans.
1, JAMES DUNCAN CRIGHTON, of 20 Exchange Buildings, St. Mary's Gate,
Manchester in the County of Lancaster, 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 relates to that class of fans used for ventilating mines and for
similar purposes, in which the air is delivered from the tips of the vanes or blades,
and its object is to increase their efficiency.
According to my present invention I arrange in combination with such a fan a
second annular fan in the same plane and concentric therewith, the two fans being
by preference caused to rotate at such relative speeds that the circumferential
velocity of each is about equal to that of the other, these speeds being varied in
case of different curvatures being used in the blades of the two fans and to meet
special conditions if required.
I will particularly describe ny invention with reference to the accompanying
drawings which represent my improvements as applied to a mine ventilating fan..
In these drawings
Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation, and Figure 2 a sectional plan, and in.
each view similar letters of reference are employed to denote similar parts.
The inner or ordinary fan A may be constructed in the usual manner and is fixed
upon the shaft C. The outer annular fan has its blades attached to the plate or
disc B, which is fixed upon the sleeve D constructed and arranged to rotate upou
the shaft C. U is the mine upcast shaft, G a girder carrying the inner bearing E,.
and F the fan casing from which the air is delivered as usual at H.
The two pulleys P P¹, are fixed upon the shaft C and the sleeve D respectively,
and they may be of such diameters as will ensure the rotation of the two fans at
about equal peripheral speeds as indicated by the drawings.
I am aware of the Letters Patent granted to George Marie Capell No. 3117
of 1883 and 3130 of 1882 and I wish it to be understood that I do not claim.
anything described and claimed in either of these Specifications.
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 fan for ventilating mines and for similar purposes, consisting of an inner fan
and an outer concentric annular fan, both fans being mounted coaxially, constructed
and arranged substantially as hereinbefore described and as is illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
