An Appliance for Holding Desk or Box Lids Open.
I, JOHN REAP, of No. 147, Chadwick Road, Peckham, in the County of Surrey,
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 appliance for holding open the hinged lid of a desk,
box or the like, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a part section of a desk and its lid shewing an appliance according to
my invention holding the lid open.
Fig. 2 is a part section of a box and lid shewing a modification.
In Fig. 1 the dotted lines indicate the position of the parts when the lid is closed,
and in Fig. 2 they indicate the position when the lid is open. In each case there
is pivotted to the lid a link A the lower part of which has a long slot B and a short
slot C partly separated from B by a projecting nose D.
The slots are engaged on a pin E which is fixed to the side of the desk or box.
When the lid is opened the long slot B slides along the pin E until the nose D
passes the pin, whereupon the link drops so as to engage the pin in the short slot C.
Thus the lid is held open until the link A is raised a little so as to disengage the
short slot from the pin, which being then in the long slot allows the lid to be closed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
An appliance for holding a desk or box lid open, constructed and operating sub-
stantially as described with reference to the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Gas-heated Soldering Iron.
I, ERNST RICHARD TIBURTIUS, Merchant, of 51, Urbanstrasse, Berlin, in the
Empire of 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:
The object of this invention is to provide a soldering iron heated by gas, in
such a manner that fresh heat is constantly conveyed to the actual soldering bit
as the work proceeds, so that no cooling of the bit can occur.
The soldering iron can be used either for light work or for positively heavy
work, it being only necessary to alter the dimensions of the soldering bit by
which also the consumption of gas is determined in order to obtain a soldering
iron for light or heavy work.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is
a side-view partly in section and Fig. 2 a front view of the soldering iron.
The gas-supply pipe 1 made of suitable material serves at the same time as
stem and as handle. On this, a Bunsen-burner 2 is screwed in and through
the apertures 3, in the burner the necessary air is drawn in.
The flame streaming out of the pipe 4 heats the copper soldering bit 6 which
is fixed to the pipe at a suitable height by means of screws 5.
Close over the soldering face of the soldering bit the apertures 7 are bored in
the bit and out of these apertures the flame rushes. By the rushing of the
flame through the copper bit the capacity of the soldering iron for the reception
of heat is very considerably increased.
In order that when not in use the soldering iron may be conveniently laid
down without fear of injury to the work table or to any tools which may be
lying about, a suitably shaped foot 8 is soldered or in any other suitable manner
fixed on to the upper side of the gas supply pipe 1. If, therefore, the soldering
iron be stood on the foot the flame shoots upwards out of the bit and everything
lying below it is perfectly protected against injury.
The soldering iron is especially suitable for use in lamp manufactories, work-
shops and the like.
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. Gas heated soldering iron, the distinguishing feature of which is that on
the bent end of the gas supply pipe 1 which is furnished with a foot 8 there is
a Bunsen burner 2, 3, 4 on to the flame tube 4 of which the soldering bit is

page_text: screwed by means of screws 5, the flame streaming out of the pipe 4 passing over
the soldering bit 6 through apertures 7 thus effecting uniformity of heating.
2. The improved gas heated soldering iron, substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal Pipes having Branch
Openings or Connections.
We, FRIEDRICH SCHILLING, of No. 5, Rednitzstrasse, Fürth, in the Empire of
Germany, Mechanic, and JOHANN SCHURZ, of No. 60, Muggenhof, Fürth afore-
said, Mechanic, 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 manufacture of metal pipes having
branch openings or connections, the latter being formed without the objectionable'
drawing and stretching heretofore necessary so that the pipes are more durable
and can be produced at a less cost.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
in which:-
Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation illustrating the process or operation.
Fig. 2 is a similar view shewing the pipe after the operation is completed.
According to this invention the metal pipe 1 is filled with sand 2 (preferably
fine silver sand) at the point where the branches are required. The pipe 1 around
the sand 2 is then heated and placed in a case or die made in two or more parts
and in which are openings 4, 4 of size corresponding to the size of the branch
pipe to be made and also set at the requisite angle in relation to the pipe 1. Two
pistons or rammers 5-5 on spindles 6-6 are inserted from opposite ends of the
pipe 1 after the sand is inserted, and when the pipe 1 is heated and in the case or
die 3 the sand 2 is compressed or rammed until the pipe 1 is forced outwards oppo-
site the unsupported parts 4, 4 and along the openings 4, 4 in the form of a bulge
(see Fig. 1). A hole is now to be formed about the apex of the bulge, and if
necessary the pipe 1 further heated, and the operation continued so that the hole
gradually widens and the sides of the bulge are forced outwards against the sides
of the openings 4, 4 (see Fig. 2) and the short branch pipes or connections are
formed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
:
The improved manufacture of metal pipes having short branch pipes or con-
nections as and for the purpose herein described and substantially as illustrated
by the annexed drawings.

Improved Chimney-holding Rings for Lamps.
I, HUGO FRAENKEL, of 116, Friedrichstrasse, Berlin, Empire of Germany,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
-
In lamps as heretofore constructed the removing from and replacing the chimney
in the closed supporting socket or ring of burners especially those of incandescent
lamps is attended with difficulty in that the ring must be formed to fit tightly
round the glass of the chimney, in order to hold the latter in position. When
replacing or removing the chimney a shaking of the mantle is unavoidable and in
most cases the mantles get damaged or destroyed.
According to the present invention the ring enclosing the burner is divided into
two or more parts, without however dividing the supporting ring for the chimney.
This arrangement enables the part of the burner casing or ring surrounding the
chimney to be opened or closed and thereby its diameter enlarged at will, the
supporting ring serving as a permanent rest for the chimney, so that the latter
can be set up in position when the casing is opened.
In the accompanying drawing several constructions of the burner casing or
ring are shown from which it will seen that the surrounding parts a are
separated from the supporting ring b. The divided casing a may be wholly or
partly thrown back on hinges c in any direction or the two parts of the same may
be drawn apart and retracted or drawn together by a spring d, as shewn in Fig. 3.
When using a burner e constructed according to the present invention the parts a
are first opened or turned outwards and the chimney placed on the ring b. After
this the parts a are closed again so that the chimney is held in position as hitherto.
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 chimney supporting socket or ring for lamps having the part enclosing
the burner divided and capable of being withdrawn or withheld from the chimney
substantially as described.
2/ In chimney supporting rings for lamps the combination of the supporting
ring 6 and the hinged or moveable parts a for holding and enclosing the lamp
chimney substantially as described.

I, ERWIN MÜLLER, Berliner Strasse 12, Charlottenburg, Province of Branden-
burg, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, Architect, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to a device for sharpening lead pencils and has for object
to make the sharpening operation more convenient, quicker, and much better than

The device consists essentially of two parts, a circular box or casing and a disc
rotating on a spindle within said casing.
The casing is composed of two parts a and b, the lower part a having a socket
or pivot-hole for the end of a spindle g. The upper part 6 of the casing fits into
the lower part a and has openings or slots in its upper surface as shewn by c and f.
These openings or slots are normally closed by lids which can be so arranged that
when bent backwards they serve as a rest for the pencil.
Within the casing is a spindle g carrying a disc c, the whole being so, balanced
on the spindle pivot & that when the end h is turned by the fingers, the disc c is
made to rotate rapidly. This disc can either consist wholly of emery, or can be of
other material with an emery or other suitable cover d.
When it is desired to sharpen a pencil, one of the lids e, f, is removed, the disc
set in rotation, and the pencil point then pressed lightly against same.
The device is such that it can be also used as letter weight.
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 device consisting of a rotating disc of emery or other suitable material
within a casing, said casing having openings in its upper surface substantially as

page_text: A Method of Teaching Music by the Aid of Coloured Notes.
I, JESSIE BETHEA GEDDES, of Skepskaith Lodge, Castelnau, Barnes, in the County of
Surrey, Teacher of Music, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
1
This invention relates to a system to simplify the teaching of music by the aid of
coloured notes. I purpose colouring each note of same name, the same colour, as for
instance the C's, dark red, D's light red, E's dark blue, F's light blue, G's dark yellow,
A's light yellow, B's green.
So that the notes still retain the characteristics of
ordinary music type, I purpose that the semibreves, & minims have a white circle
round outer edge of colour, the crochets, quavers etc. a black circle. To render
this idea practical I have embodied it in an instruction book. After a pupil has
carefully gone through it, the eye would be so trained to the position of each note on
the score, that the colour could be dispensed with & ordinary music type read
with facility. The colours mentioned in the above description not to be considered
arbitrary.
This Month day of October 1898
A Method of Teaching Music by the Aid of Coloured Notes.
I, JESSIE BETHEA GEDDES, of Skepskaith Lodge, Castlenau, Barnes, in the County
of Surrey, Spinster, Teacher of Music, 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 system to simplify the teaching of music by the aid
of coloured notes. 1 make no alteration in the position of notes on the staff, but
instead of the notes being only black and white I colour each note of the same name
the same colour:-As for instance:-The C's dark red, D's light red, E's dark blue,
F's light blue, G's dark yellow, A's light yellow, B's green. So that the notes shall
still retain the characteristics of ordinary music type, I place a white circle round the
outer edge of colour of the semibreves & minims, and a black circle round the
crochets, quavers, semi-quavers, etc.
By this system greater facility in acquiring the notes is obtained than by the
existing one, the memory being assisted by the colours employed. In the existing
method after the difficulty of acquiring the notes is overcome, the eye mechanically
reads them without having to count up the lines and spaces. By my method the
learner will do exactly the same, as, after carefully going through an instruction book

page_text: compiled on this system, the eye will be so trained to the position of each note on
the score that the colour can be dispensed with and ordinary music type read with
facility.
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 method of teaching music by the aid of coloured notes as herein before
described.

Combined Universal Screw-wrench and Adjustable Turn-screw.
I, CARL KOENIG, of 5, Oranienburgerstrasse, Berlin, Germany, 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 object of this invention, is a combined universal screw-wrench and adjust-
able turn-screw, in which there is a movable jaw or cheek piece, and the adjusting
contrivance for the latter serves at the same time for the adjusting of the turn-
screw connected therewith. As the turn-screw and the jaw-piece are detachably
connected the former can be transposed and be used at either end.
Figure 1 is a view of the invention, Figure 2 being a section along the line,,
in Figure 1.
On the shaft or stock 1 of the cheek or jaw 2, the movable cheek or jaw-piece 3
is guided, the latter engaging in teeth 5 on the shaft by means of an endless screw 4,
in such a manner that by the turning of the screw in either direction, the cheek or
jaw-piece 3 can be adjusted either nearer to or farther from the fixed cheek or
jaw. For this purpose, the periphery of the screw is grooved or milled.
The shaft or stock 1 is furnished in the direction of its length with a dove-tail
groove 6 in which the turn-screw 8, which is detachably connected with the cheek
or jaw-piece 3 by means of a screw 7, is guided. The turn-screw is therefore like-
wise adjusted by the actuating of the screw 4 and can accordingly be advanced to
more or less project from the shaft or stock 1 in order to allow of the access of deeper
lying screws, whilst a great strain is possible without any twisting of the turn-
screw arising, by reason of the fact that the latter is constantly seated (or has its
bearing) on a long stretch in the dove-tail groove. The screw-wrench can, if
required, be fitted at both ends with edges of different size 9, 10, for rough or fine
screw bolts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention. and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. Combined universal screw-wrench and adjustable turn-screw, the distinguish-
ing feature of which is that the movable cheek or jaw-piece, which is guided on
the shaft or stock of the fixed cheek or jaw, is either firmly or detachably connected
with the turn-serew, which is guided in a longitudinal groove formed in the shaft
or stock, whilst the turn-screw can be edged at both ends.
2. A feature of the combined universal screw-wrench and turn-screw, according

page_text: to Claim 1, in which the movable jaw or cheek piece is adjustable by means of
an endless screw, which is seated in the same, and which said screw engages in
teeth formed in the shaft or stock.

WILLIAM DAVIS, Totteridge Road, Enfield Wash, 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:-
For L.M. rifle I use the following viz.-A screw 110 in diatr. × 2½ in. over all,
threaded 2 in. and ¾ in. oval shaped, 1/10 thick, with a hole in it to splice the

the outer end flat, 10 thick, and slotted out 5/16 in length to allow the screw to
traverse within ½ in. of end of slot, leaving room for a cord to be spliced into it
to pull the cleaning rag through. I screw a nut up to top of screw. I then
put two pieces of gauze wire "steel or brass" crossed 1 in. long x 5 in. wide,
with a hole in the centre to pass the screw through. They have been passed
through a die .303 in diatr. the size of bore of rifle. I then put a piece of hard
rough felt, outer diatr. 303, with hole in centre for screw, and force the felt inside
the gauze at the nut. Then the second nut is screwed up to the felt, and another
set of gauze and felt is put on the screw and the slotted tail nut is screwed up to
the felt.
When the gauze gets slack in the barrel the end nuts are screwed up, they
compress the felt inside the gauze and expand it as required.
If the spindle comes too far through the slotted nut slack it back and screw the
other inuts down as required. For guns of larger calibre a proportionate
enlargement would be required.

Improved Protective Box for Sterntubes.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, 6, Lord Street,
Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and
Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, 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 relates to protective boxes for sterntubes and the object of the
invention is to provide a box, of more simple construction than those hitherto
used, and in which there are a less number of joints requiring means of
tightening.
My improved protective box is shown in the annexed drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a
plan view of the same and Fig. 2 an axial section. Fig. 3 is a modification of a
detail.
A is the box made in two parts united by bolts B and provided with a flange C
with bolt-holes for securing the same to the boss P of the propeller. The gland or
tightening ring D of the box also consists of two parts as shown, and its inner face
has the same diameter as the propeller shaft and is in contact with the same--a
screw ring E is provided outside of the gland and serves as a padding. Instead of this
screw ring a ring E¹, Fig. 3 may be used for that purpose, bolts E" being provided for
drawing the ring into its place against the packing material.
In the gland D and in the box A holes or cavities are provided which take up the
springs F, serving to press the gland out from the hox against the stern-tube. These
springs are put into small tubes G fixed to the box and fitting loosely within the
cavities of the gland, so that the gland may slide on the tubes.
As will be understood, the purpose of making the box and the rings in two parts
is that the same may be easily removed without necessitating the removal of the
propeller.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, 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 :-
1. A protective box for sterntubes consisting of a box made in two parts and
adapted to be bolted on to the propeller boss and of a gland or tightening ring fitted
within the same and having its inner face in contact with the propeller shaft, springs
inserted in cavities in the said parts and serving to thrust the gland out from the
box and a packing ring on the outside of the gland substantially as described.
2. A protective box for sterntubes substantially as shown and described.

An Improvement relating to Means for Strengthening Racquet.
Racquets, Lawn Tennis Bats, and Real Tennis Racquets.
I, HEINRICH FREDERIC EMIL NUSSER, of 46, Gerrard Street, Soho, County of
London, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for object, strengthening racquet racquets, lawn tennis bats,
and real tennis racquets at the part or parts most liable to fracture by the inser-
tion of steel or equivalent strips into the shoulder portions, said strips extending
from below the "glut screw to well up the band or ring and rivetted home.
The strips preferably of the same thickness and flexibility are inserted into the
body of the wood such as can be produced by a fretsaw of slightly less thickness
than the strips, so that a tight fit is ensured.
The strips for both sides of the handle may be of the same thickness, or they
may vary and so offer greater resistance against fracture on one side than the
other.
The strips are within the range of the lacings and are drilled with holes like
those of the wood of the ring.

I, ERNST ALWIN KELLER, of 31, Limbacherstrasse, Chemnitz, Saxony, in the
German Empire, Merchant, 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 brake for velocipedes which is operated by back pedalling.
The same can be applied without the least modification to any velocipede, and
in consequence of the simplicity of its construction and of its always being ready for
use it becomes an absolutely reliable stopping or impeding means.
As shown in the accompanying drawings, the chain a, a', of the wheel does not
pass directly from the rear to the front chain wheel b but passes previously over a guide
This
toothed wheel c which is carried by the arm d of the bell crank lever d, e.
lever d, e, is fulcrumed upon an arm or support g fixed to the rear fork f. The arm e
is provided with a brake pad h and is normally held back from the rear wheel by the
spiral spring i fixed to the hanging support g.
This improved brake operates as follows:-The rider pedals, when he wishes to
apply the brake, in a contrary direction to that wherein he was driving and thereby
stretches the lower chain member or end a arranged between the chain wheels
and presses by the aid of the wheel c the lever d, e, in a left handed direction
relatively to the position indicated in Figure 1, i.e. in the direction indicated by the
arrow, whereby the brake block h is applied on the rear wheel.
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 brake for velocipedes, characterized by a bell crank lever d, e, fulcrumed on the rear
fork, the horizontal arm of which has a spring support and is provided with a toothed
wheel c which bulges or bends upwards the lower portion or member a¹ of the chain,
and is in its turn depressed by the said chain member a¹ stretching when the rider
is back pedalling and thus presses against the periphery of the rear wheel the brake
block h fixed to the vertical lever arm e.

I, SAMUEL BRASSINGTON BAMFORD, of the Firm of Bamford & Sons, of Leighton
Iron Works, Uttoxeter, in the County of Stafford, 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 has for its object improvements in the manufacture of pump
buckets so as to simplify their construction, make them more durable, and be
easier to repair. I will now describe my method of construction by reference to
the accompanying drawing, namely:--
I make the body a of the bucket in cast metal, preferably of cast-iron with the
upper end forming a boss or socket screwed to receive the pump-rod as shown
in Figures 1, 2 & 3. At the side of the upper boss 1 make another boss d of
smaller size which is fitted with a brass screw e the bottom end being turned to
a semi-circle: see Fig. 2.
The clack valve f is formed of stout leather in the usual way, with a heavy
piece of lead or other metal rivetted on the top, and covering the port in the
bucket: the middle part of the bucket around the port his fat and forms the
seat for the clack valve. See Figs. 1, 2 & 4.
On the back of the leather f I place a brass block or clamp i, serrated or
roughened underneath (see Fig. 7) and having a boss on top with a semi-circular
recess to receive the end of the brass screw e before mentioned, and so secure the
clack-valve in position, which has thus plenty of room to open, and broad facings
to rest upon without being distorted, and can be removed by simply slacking the
brass screw e from above. This is clearly shown in sections, see Figs. 1 & 2, and
in the latter the valve is also shown open, see dotted lines.
The lower part of the bucket is formed to receive the cup leather, j see Figs. 1,
2 & 8.
A bottom plate k is provided to hold the cup leather in position by two ordinary
bolts, see Figs. 1, 2 & 6.
Fig. 5 is an inverted plan of the bucket without cup leather, showing the
snugs m m for the bolts 77 which secure the cup leather.
Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the top of the bucket with the brass screw e.
Fig. 4 is a sectional plan through the clack box.
