I ARNOLD STIERLIN of No 41, Corporation Street, Manchester in the County
of Lancaster, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO BE EMPLOYED FOR DAMPING
OB WETTING PAPER PREVIOUS TO PRINTING, APPLICABLE ALSO TO THE DAMPING
OR WETTING OF OTHER ANALOGOUS MATTERS OR MATERIALS," 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 reference to prior letters patent for similar apparatus which
were granted to me on the 27th of January 1882 No 425 in the specification of
which I described a cylinder or drum formed of copper or other metal having on
its periphery any suitable number of perforated metal scoops for distributing the
water upon the material to be damped.
My present Improvements consist in the employment instead of perforated
scoops of a series of metal blades secured in a spiral manner to the periphery of the
cylinder and serrated at their outer edges so as to form a coarse saw or comb with
pointed teeth. As the cylinder revolves the blades dip into the water and gather
up a certain quantity which is projected by centrifugal force against the surface
required to be damped. And in order that my Invention may be more fully
understood I have hereto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof.
Fig. 1. represents a side elevation of a damping machine. Fig. 2. a section
of same. Fig. 3. a portion of a serrated metal plate and Fig. 4. a longitudinal
elevation of my improved distributing cylinder. A represents the copper cylinder
to which are attached metal plates B which are serrated at their outer edges so as
to form a line of pointed teeth as shewn in Fig. 3. When the plates dip into the
water a they collect a certain quantity which is projected against the sheet of
material passing through the rollers C the quantity of water being regulated by
shutters E which are hinged on shafts d and are raised or lowered so as to increase
...nli

page_text: or diminish the opening above the cylinder A by means of worm wheels and
worms F mounted on shafts G and actuated by hand wheel H. The metal plates
are bent at right angles along the plain edge thereof so as to provide a strip c by
means of which they may be attached to the surface of the cylinder either by
soldering or other suitable means.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I would have it
understood that what I claim is
1st The employment in damping machinery of a cylinder A having serrated
metal plates B attached to the periphery thereof in manner and for the purpose
substantially as herein shewn and described.
2nd The employment of shutters E for regulating the quantity of water
distributed, in manner substantially as herein shewn and described.

I, WILHELM ZIMMERMANN, Locksmith, of Rixdorf near Berlin, in the Kingdom
of Prussia and German Empire, 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 automatic locking appliance for double doors and double windows is designed
to take the place of fastenings now in use. It consists of three principal parts:
1. The plate a the top view of which is seen in Figure 1, the side view in
Figure 2, and the under view in Figure 3.
2. The catch box at the left of Figure 4 is a top view, and at the right a front
view.
3. The guard plate o shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 shows the appliance on a closed door or window, and Figure 1 the same
in an opened condition.
°
On
The plate a has on its under side the piece d, which turns around the pin e
the pieced the two pins ƒ and g are forged, which move in curved slots h and i
in the plate a The steel spring k is wound around the pin e and fastened to the
piece d in such manner that the latter will be freely pressed down.
The plate a is fastened by means of screws directly underneath both wings of
the door or window as in Figure 5. The catch box b is fastened to the lower
corner of the door or window, whilst the guard plate c is fastened to the opposite
lower corner of the door or window. The guard plate c presses against the pin g
and pushes it back when the right half of the door or window is closed, whilst at
the same time the other pin f is thereby pushed forward. The pin f consequently
enters the opening m of the catch box 6 and so automatically fastens, when ƒ has
come to the end of its forward travel, the left half by means of the closing of the
right half.
The pin n serves as a stop for the left wing. When both wings are pressed to
and consequently bolted the double wings are locked. The same mechanism is
provided at the upper ends of the doors or windows as at the lower ends, with this
exception, that it is reverse in construction to the under one.

page_text: On opening the right wing of the door or window the spring k presses the pin g
forwards, and the pin f backwards, whereby the left wing is also automatically
unfastened.
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
A mechanism for automatically locking two-winged doors or windows, consisting
of a slotted pin-guide-plate a in combination with the piece d, the push pin g, the
locking pin f, the stop pin n the stop plate m, and the catch box b.

I WILLIAM BURNELL of 4 Sandown Lane Wavertree Liverpool in the County
of Lancaster, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING RAILWAY WAGONS
AND OTHER VEHICLES 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 the manner of coupling and uncoupling
Railway wagons or carriages and other vehicles whereby such coupling or uncoupling
may be effected without personal risk and without increase in the cost of con-
struction.
And in order that my Invention may be more fully understood I have hereto
annexed a sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof.
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation of the framework of a carriage or wagon
and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
According to my Invention the carriages or wagons are coupled by means of
hooks A which are mounted so as to be capable of revolving or swivelling upon
the ends of the draw bars. The said draw bars which are indicated by the
letter B in the drawing, are formed in two parts, one of which screws into the
boss a of a worm wheel C whilst the other part fits loosely into the boss c on the
opposite side of the wheel and is prevented from withdrawing by means of a
collar d. The end of the drawbar abutts against a yoke or stay e fixed to one of
the cross rails of the framework a spiral spring f intervening in the usual manner
to prevent concussion at starting. Underneath the worm-wheel O and gearing
therein is a worm D which is mounted on a shaft E the said shaft extending a
short distance beyond the side frames and carrying a hand wheel F at each end.
In fitting my coupling apparatus the draw bars and hooks are not fixed in the
centre but deviate therefrom sufficiently to pass one another and play enough is
allowed in the opening through the front rail for the hooks to ride over one
another.
The process of coupling or uncoupling is as follows. The carriages being brought
into juxtaposition the hooks overlap one another and by means of a lever or crow-
bar a person standing on the platform or siding can turn one of the hooks partially
around until it engages with the other one, When this is effected the coupling is

page_text: rendered more secure by turning the wheel F which screws the shaft E into the
boss of the wheel C and so shortens the draw bar. The hooks as coupled are shewn
in Fig. 3.
The lever employed for turning the hook may be attached thereto in which case
it will serve as a locking device for preventing the hooks from become accidentally
detached the method of fixing it being similar to that adopted in the case of a
common brake lever.

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 Improvements in apparatus for coupling and uncoupling railway wagons
and other vehicles in manner substantially as herein shewn and described.

page_text: WILLIAM JOSEPH SMITH Catholic Priest, St. Helen's Presbytery Elsecar, near
Barnsley do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A piece of vulcanized india-rubber is attached to the upper surface of the sole-
plate of a stirrup iron, thereby
1° Preventing slipping of the foot.
2° Preventing coldness of the feet.

page_text: WILLIAM JOSEPH SMITH, Priest, St. Helen's Presbytery, Elsecar, near Barnsley,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED STIRRUP, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists in attaching to the upper surface of the foot-plate of a
stirrup, a piece of vulcanized india-rubber, in such a manner that the india-rubber
shall be interposed between the foot of the rider and the iron or other metal of
which the stirrup is made.
The advantages of this interposition of india-rubber between the foot and the
stirrup-iron are:-1° the rider can more easily retain his stirrup, because the
india-rubber does not readily slip from the foot as does the iron;-2° the india-
rubber, being a bad conductor of heat, the stirrup-iron does not so rapidly
withdraw the heat from the foot of the rider, therefore he does not so soon
suffer from coldness of the feet;-3° the india-rubber affords a soft pad to
the foot.
How made. The foot-plate of the stirrup is made with a recess in its upper
surface. A piece of vulcanized india-rubber is cut from the sheet, or is specially
manufactured, to fit this recess. This india-rubber is of such a thickness that
when placed in the recess, its upper surface shall be higher than the walls of the
recess, so that the foot of the rider shall rest upon it.
The piece of india-rubber is then cemented in the recess by means of Prout's
glue, or by a solution of india-rubber, or of gutta percha, or of shell-lac, or by
means of some other suitable cement. Pressure is used to maintain close contact
between the india-rubber and the iron until the cement is set.
The stirrup may also be made without the recess, in which case the india-rubber
is attached to the plain surface of the foot-plate.
The india rubber pad may also be secured to the foot plate by screws or studs.
Claim. 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 invention of attaching a piece of india rubber to the upper surface of the
foot plate of stirrups by means of cement, either with or without the additional
security of screws or studs: but take notice I do not claim as my invention any
other form of stirrup than that in which a pad of india-rubber is attached to the
upper surface of the foot-plate in the manner I have described.

page_text: similar Garments, and in the Manufacture of the same.
I ROBERT BACH of Great Park Street Worcester in the County of Worcester
Glove Manufacturer 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 :-
This invention has for its object improvements in gloves, cuffs, collars, collarettes
and other similar garments such for instance as gauntlets where warmth comfort
and appearance are essential qualities but I produce these effects in such garments
at a much cheaper rate than heretofore in the following manner.
In manufacturing gloves, collaretts collars or cuffs I make imitations of Seal,
Otter, Badger and other skins of an expensive kind by the use of hair woven into
a somewhat coarse texture of material the grain of which is varied in skins or
parts of such where necessary in such a manner as to show the curls of hair which
are seen in the real skins and so as to give a beautiful glossey appearance to the
material nearly equal to the real skins.
In some cases such for instance as for gloves I manufacture the back of the
material with a soft fleecy face which is an imitation of an inferior or thinner skin
or substance which might have been used for a lining and make such up without
any lining at all as the natural back of the material is equal to it and there is no
danger of rucking up as where linings are used. In the case of leather or other
gloves I may only make the backs or tops of the trimmings of the imitation skins
but when this is the case and the back of the material is not exposed to the eye or
touch I generally use the raw backed material which is somewhat thinner and then
if necessary a lining of any description may be introduced with good effect to
produce a richer appearance for it will be understood that in such trimmings of say
gloves the hand would never come against the back of the material but against the
underside of the material upon which such trimmings are placed.
In collars and collarettes and cuffs I almost always use a lining or padding
quilted or otherwise according to the quality and get up of the article. This is
also the case with gauntletts which I make with one two or more coiled flat or
other springs or spring tubes the ends of which in their natural state somewhat
overlap each other so that when they are made up into the imitation skin the

page_text: edges of such guantletts would overlap each other and are thus expanding and
adapt themselves to various sized wrists and thickness of garment underneath.
The gloves are generally made with an ordinary leather inside the hand.
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 improvements in gloves, cuffs collarettes, collars, gauntletts, and other
similar articles or parts or trimmings of such, made from imitations of Seal, Otter
or Badger skins whether with a plain raw back or a fleecy back substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth.

page_text: I ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication from
J. D. Linet residing at Charleroi, in the County of Hainaut, Belgium) and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The purpose of the present invention is a safety nut, which, being of an elastic
construction, offers a great resistance to any unscrewing or loosening which could
be caused by shocks, vibrations &c.
In the accompanying drawings Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 show different ways of
applying this system; those figures which bear the letter a give respectively a
side view of a screw nut before screwing on; those having the letter b give
respectively a side view of the nut, screwed on to a bolt or rod, the thread being
of the shape of a right-angled triangle, of which one of the sides of the right
angle is perpendicular to the axis of the bolt; those bearing the letter c give
respectively a plan of a nut screwed on to a bolt. This safety bolt is cut and
grooved at the slit and the groove can be made in any suitable direction and part
of the nut.
°
Sometimes I use the slit alone Figures 1ª, 1b, 1° and in this case, the worm or
thread of the nut has a smaller diameter than that of the rod, and the slit f
which goes through the whole depth of the nut is in the same plane with the
axis of the bolt, but could also be in a plane which does not coincide with the
axis of the bolt.
Sometimes also the groove alone is used and in that case the thread of the nut
is identical with that of the stem or rod. If the groove r is parallel to the axis of
the bolt, it need not be continued for the whole depth of the nut, Figures 2º, 2º,
and 2°, if the groove is transversal to the nut, it only extends a part of the
diameter of the nut, Figures 3*, 3º, 3º.
Sometimes, two grooves are used in which case the thread of the nut is exactly
the same as that of the rod, and the two grooves r and r¹ have contrary directions,
Figures 4, 46, and 4°.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention 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,
A screw out cut or grooved substantially in the manner and for the purpose

WILLIAM NICOL Ironmonger 67 High Street Edinburgh and JOHN HERCUS
Ironmonger 67 High Street Edinburgh do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for OPEN & CLOSE ARRANGEMENT FOR KITCHEN RANGE to be as follows:-
:-
When as a close Range it is very much like any other Range, but in order to make
it an open Range, the fire cover is drawn forward about one inch and by so doing the
travelling damper is raised out of its former position up into the centre back cove
which is prepared for it and is kept into its place by means of a small Catch then the
fire cover is pushed back hard against the back centre cove and the smoke passses
under said fire cover up the main flue.
Now what we claim Patent for is the Travelling Damper which can be brought
back again and in doing so (by means of the travelling damper) you cut off the
connection between the fire and the main flue, and by placing the fire cover into its
first position you again have a close Range.

page_text: I, WILLIAM GOODE JOHNSON, of the Midland Hosiery Company, Limited, 12 and
16, Thurland Street, in the town and county of the town of Nottingham, Manager,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My improvements consist in strengthening certain portions of hosiery goods
which heretofore have been worn into holes before any wearing away of the
remaining parts, has been apparent, this I effect by the following means. At the
portion or portions of each article most liable to wear away I employ an additional
thread, either of linen, silk, or spun silk, which is worked into the fabric with the
yarn employed to form the fabric such yarn being either merino, cashmere, worsted,
cotton, silk, or spun silk.
In pantaloons and trousers, I employ the additional thread at the fork, knees
and pocket or pockets. In shirts and vests at the gussets. In hose, at the places
marked on the Drawing Figure 1, I employ the additional thread at the knee A,
at the splicing of the ancle B, at the heel C, at the bottom of the foot D, and at
the upper and lower parts of the toe E, E.
In half hose I employ the additional thread at the places marked on Figure 2,
B, C, D and E, E.
I am aware that an additional thread of the same material as the yarn employed
to make hose, or half hose has been used to form the splicing at the knee A of
bose, and at the ancle B of hose and half hose, but I am not aware that a linen
thread or a silk or spun silk thread has been used with other yarns to strengthen
hosiery in certain parts.
For strengthening the knees of hose and the ancles of hose and half hose
I employ the additional thread of linen, or silk, or spun silk, as a splicing thread
at those parts in addition to the usual yarn But at the portions in hose and half
hose marked in the Drawings C, D and E, E. I either employ the additional thread
of linen, or silk, or spun silk as a splicing thread with the usual yarn or I employ
it combined with the usual yarn by doubling it with the yarn on a doubling
machine before use.
The latter plan I prefer to employ when the goods have to be dyed after being
made.

page_text: By such means I am enabled to produce hosiery goods of superior quality, being
strengthened by the additional threads employed at the parts most liable to wear.
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 employment of an additional thread of linen or silk or spun silk with the
yarns usually employed in the manufacture of hosiery goods substantially as
described and illustrated in the Drawings annexed for the purpose specified.

I CHARLES HENRY RUSSELL of 80 Grays Inn Road, London in the county of
Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the saine is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a certain improved method of packing and protecting
goods for automatic goods-selling apparatus, and of advertising thereon: goods as
at present stored for delivery from automatic goods-selling apparatus are usually
placed in a compartment in bulk, one article resting on and against another, and
it is necessary in order to ensure a certain delivery to slightly agitate them to
prevent bridging or jainming, and this is performed by sundry mechanical means
at each operation of the apparatus and sale of an article.
It has been found that this constant mechanical agitation breaks or tends to
break articles with delicate coverings, or of a fragile nature such for example as
cigarettes or cigars. Further when it is desired to sell goods which require to be
packed such as tea, sugar or tobacco, an ordinary paper covering tends to stick or
become crumpled and a smooth and hard case is required to ensure certain and
free motion of the package to the delivery orifice, and at the same time to protect
the goods contained from squeezing and contingent damage, or bursting of the
coverings containing them; moreover certain goods are liable to get out of "
dition
con-
owing to the exposed situations in which the goods-selling boxes are
frequently fixed.
According to my improved method I provide tubes or cases of smooth card or
millboard, tin, papier maché, or material suitable to the particular article or goods;
and I may leave the ends open as in the case of cigars and the like, or I may close
them by suitably forming and folding the ends of the tubes or cases, or by placing
in adhesive covering thereon as in the case of tea, sugar, or tobacco.
By adopting this method I am also able to indicate the name and quality of
he goods, or to circulate other advertisements by printing or otherwise displaying
hem on the exterior of the tubes or cases, and this, I consider a most important
dvantage attending my improved method of packing.
1

page_text: By these means the goods are free from all liability to damage from breakage
and exposure, and are delivered with certainty in good condition while at the same
time the advantage of circulating advertisements is obtained.
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 herein before described method of packing goods, for automatic goods-selling
apparatus, in hard smooth cases combined with the displaying of advertisements
thereon.

page_text: FREDERICK SIMPSON N° 10 High Street, Wood Green in the County of Middlesex
Pawnbroker 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 Cartridge is composed of two cases, one a containing shot 6 and the other c
containing powder d and in the loading of which the one case telescopes into
the other.
The case c containing the powder is formed of paper and made to fit the gun and
is one and three quarter inches in length with a rime of the same one sixteenth of
an inch in depth with tissue paper diaphragm f at one end. This tissue paper
forms the bottom of the powder case and is broken by the ramming or can be
broken before putting the cartridge into the gun. In making the powder case c
two pieces g, g of silk twist nine inches in length are laid across the paper one inch
apart (see diagram Figure 3) which when the case is rolled or made up brings them
one on each side. This silk twist is used for the purpose of tying the shot case a
to the powder case c as shewn in the elevational view Fig. 1. The shot case a is
made of the same material as that of which the powder case c is composed; it is
about one and three eighths of an inch in length to hold the shot and fits exactly
into the case c containing the powder as shewn in Fig. 2, and telescopes into the
powder case c when rammed into the gun. The shot case a is closed at the inner
end with a wad l.
Having made the two cases, the powder is inserted in one with a wad h on the
top of the same and the shot inserted in the other case a with a wad fixed on
the top of the same at i and another wad k a little larger fixed on the top of the
last wad to fit the bore of the gun.
The case a containing the shot is now inserted into that containing the powder
and both are tied with the silk twist and the cartridge is ready for firing.
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 t
The combined compound telescoping cartridge for muzzle-loading guns substan-
tially as herein set forth.

An Improved Metallic Chill Core for Chilling Coach Axle Boxes
and for other Purposes.
THOMAS BLACKMORE Toolmaker Helena Street Smethwick near 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:
My invention consists in useing metalic chills made in segments, planed and fitted
together with groves and vees and temporary fastened at each end with any suitable
contrivance, such as pins cotters or caps, the segments are made taper and over-
lapping each other, so as to form a perfectly paralell hole, the segments are made taper, so
as to give the facility for withdrawing the chill after casting by driving or forcing at
the lesser end of the segments.
To enable my invention to be further understood, I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawings.
A represents the two taper segments, fittted with a groove and vee down the
centre, B represents a screw cap at each end, to hold the chills together during
casting the article, these caps are then unscrewed off, then a blow with an hammer
upon the small ends of the segments liberates the chills. I wish it to be understood
that I give the above description and_drawings as an illustration, and I do not bind
myself to this only, as for instance I may use more segments than two, and other
shapes besides round such as square, oval, or any number of sides, or I may fasten the
ends of the chills, with pins or cotters.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is,
The use of mettalic chills made in segments for chilling paralell holes in metallic
castings.
