Improvements in Butter Churns.
JOSEPH CUNNINGHAM, 34, Cawdor Street, Liverpool, Machine 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:
-
My claim is for "improvements in butter churns" for making butter and the
like. The vessel of the churn may be any shape and made to stand upon its own
bottom or raised upon a pedestal.
The blades of the "dasher" are broad and flat and are so fixed or arranged as
to be close to each other at one end and further apart at the other slanting; the
whole may form a square or circular dasher and will cause more concussion than
dashers used in churns of a similar nature.
The dashers have an up and down motion; and the rise and fall of the dashers
may be regulated by the person using the churn.

"A" is the churn. "B" is the dashers. "C" is the dasher attachments, and
connect the main spring attachment "D" from which the power is derived and
also "D1" which passes down the side of the churn. E" is an expanding
spring and is connected to "D" and "D1" by a sliding collar and hook "H."
"F" is a sliding collar and flange made to fit in a slot or staple affixed to the
side of the churn and keeps "DI" in position while being used, and enables the
user to swing "B," "C," "D" over the side of the churn and out of his or her
way while removing the butter or such like. G" is a collar and flange, and is
fastened to churn, and through which "D1" passes. "D1" is prevented from
going beyond a fixed depth by means of a collar and thumb screw, "1" the said
"DI" having a screw thread at bottom or been drilled with holes at various
distances. The top of "D1" is fork shaped and allows "D to pass between it.
"H" is a sliding collar and hook, and is made fast to "D1" at any distance by
means of a thumb screw. "I" is also a screw collar & is made to rise or fall.
"J" is the discharge tap. "K" is the churn stand.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be formed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1st. An improved method of affixing the churn fittings from which the power is
derived and thus gaining more speed with a considerable saving of labour.
2nd. An improved method of making dashers or beaters and thus causing a
greater amount of concussion, the result being a more speedy and effectual means
of producing good butter or such like.

Improvements in Insertion Soles or Socks for Boots and Shoes.
We, WILHELM AUGUST HERMANN HAMPEL, of the Seebataillon-Barracks, Kiel,
Germany, Merchant, and ADOLF SCHNEIDER, of 17, Koldingstrasse, Kiel, Germany,
Master Tailor, 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:-
Our invention relates to an insertion sole or sock which has numerous perfora-
tions and longitudinal channels for the purpose of facilitating the transpiration of
moisture from the foot. A laminar spring, fastened to the bottom surface of the
sole causes the latter to assume the shape of the foot, forms a space for ventilation
underneath the sole, and acts as an elastic spring in mitigating concussion when
the wearer is jumping.
In the accompanying drawing an example of our improved insertion sole or
sock is shewn in Fig. 1 in plan seen from below, in Fig. 2 in longitudinal section
and in Fig. 3 in transverse section.
As shewn in Fig. the insertion sole is perforated over its whole surface up to
its middle part with holes and has longitudinal channels 6 (Fig. 3) formed in
the surface of the sole which establish communications between the holes.
On the undersurface of the sole there is a central channel e occupied by a laminar
spring attached to the sole by two rivets e.
By the combination of channels and perforations, together with the arrangement
of a spring underneath the sole, an effective, wholesome ventilation of the foot is
possible and the formation of sores is guarded against.
The spring also militates against the formation of a flat foot and against con-
cussion when the wearer is jumping.
Instead of one laminar spring several may be used, and, if necessary, they may
be arranged transversely instead of longitudinally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim
is:
1. An insertion sole or sock with vertical perforations over its whole surface or
over the greater part thereof, substantially as described.
2. An insertion sole such as is referred to in Claim 1 having channels on its
under surface connecting the holes together, substantially as described.
3. An insertion sole such as is referred to in Claim 1 having on its under surface
one or more laminar springs which tend to keep the insertion sole from contact
with the insole of the boot or shoe, substantially as described.

Improvements connected with Saucers and Dishes.
I, AUREL DE RATTI, of 19, Rosebery Road, Manningham, Bradford, York-
shire, Schoolmaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A piece of sheet metal or other material of suitable shape, provided with a
clamp or clamps by means of which the piece of sheet metal may be fastened to a
saucer or dish in such a way as to hold the sheet of metal firmly and in a hori-
zontal position on the level with the edge of the saucer or dish, and thus form a
support for bread-and-butter, cake, and other eatables. The attachment can be
fastened and unfastened at will.
Improvements connected with Saucers and Dishes.
I, AUREL DE RATTI, of No. 19, Rosebery Road, Manningham, Bradford, Yorks,
Schoolmaster, 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;-
Improvements connected with saucers and dishes.
This invention consists in the combination of a piece of sheet metal or other
suitable material, of any shape or form (so as to serve as a support for eatables)
with a clip or spring which will allow the piece of sheet metal to be attached to
an ordinary saucer or dish, as shown in Fig. 1, where A is the saucer, B the piece
of sheet metal, and F the clip or spring which latter is an extension of the piece
of sheet metal. The clip or spring is of peculiar construction and so devised as to
fit any saucer.
The spring is made of one piece with the sheet metal. The latter is cut to a
suitable shape, as shown in Fig. 2, where D shows a space left by part of the
metal being cut away, and E and F are projecting tongues. The lower one of
these tongues, E, is afterwards bent back and doubled up, as shown in section
in Fig. 3, so as to rest from behind against the upper tongue F, as also shown
by dotted line Fig. 4.
The whole attachment is ultimately shaped by means of a die, so as to assume
the form shown in perspective in Fig. 4, where B represents the piece of sheet
metal making an angle of about 100 degrees with the upper tongue and edge G.

page_text: The edge G is bent into semi-circular shape so as to fit the outside under-edge
of a saucer. The saucer can thus be firmly grasped between the tongues E and F,
Fig. 3, & 4, on being slipped into the space between them.
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 combination of a specially constructed clip or spring as described above,
with a piece of sheet metal or other material of suitable form and shape, so as to
allow the piece of sheet metal to be attached to a saucer or dish, and serve as a
support for eatables.
An Improved Mechanism or Gear for Propelling Boats.

An Improved Mechanism or Gear for Propelling Boats.
I, ANTON KLERINGS, of Hemer, in the Empire of Germany, 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:
-
The subject of the present invention is an appliance for driving small boats by
means of a screw propeller, it being actuated either by foot or by hand.
As is well known, a ship's propeller works better at a high speed than at a low
one; and as with the arrangements hitherto in use, it is not possible to turn the
propeller shaft at a sufficient high rate of revolution, boat's propellers driven by
human power have not come into general use. The present invention provides an
arrangement for obtaining this object.
The annexed drawing represents one mode of carrying out the invention.
Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal section, Figure 2 is a cross section at X X,
and Figure 3 a detailed plan.
The partial screw i.e. a bladed screw, a of any suitable construction, is attached
to a shaft b, which passes into the boat through a stuffing-box in the stern. In
the boat this shaft is carried by two bearings c el of which at least one c¹ is arranged
as a thrust-bearing. Between the bearings an endless screw or worm dis em-
ployed; and this gears into the teeth of a cog-wheel f which is fixed on the cross-
shaft e. The shaft e is provided with two pedal cranks y at its ends, and these
are worked by the passenger from a seat h. The pitch of the screw d must be
very high, so as to avoid the friction becoming too great. The steering of the
boat is effected by means of the bar i, which is arranged vertically in front of the
seat of the passenger, and is provided with cog wheel gear k. The latter gears
into a cogged section 1, which is connected with the rudder m by means of a bar.
Upon turning, the rudder m is of course also moved, and thus the boat is steered.
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. The herein described improvement connected with the propulsion of boats
namely, a mechanism or gear consisting of a cog wheel f driven by means of
pedal cranks g, and gearing into an endless screw or worm d on the boat's
propeller shaft ; substantially as set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Food Carriers and the like.
We, WILHELM MAASSEN, of 4, Jägerstrasse, Aix la Chapelle, and WILHELM
WIRTZ, Engineer, of Schaufenberg, both in 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:+-
This invention relates to food carriers or the like in which the vessels or dishes
are screwed one on to another and the cover on to the upper receptacle, screw
threads being provided on the bottom and top of the receptacles for that purpose.

accompanying drawing shows an example of the invention in which two recep-
tacles are shown, the base of the upper one being received into the top of the
under receptacle, a lid being screwed on the top of the upper vessel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A food carrier or the like comprising two or more receptacles screwed together
one above the other, the top receptacle being closed by a screw cover.

An Improved Valve for the Air Pipes of Beer and like Pumping
Apparatus.
I, JOHANNES LIPPHARDT, Innkeeper, of 135, Bahnstrasse, Rauxel, 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:—
This invention relates to an improved valve for the air inlet pipes of beer and
like pumping apparatus.
The valve is made of such form that it will allow of a ready ingress of air to the
cask but will prevent any egress of liquid therefrom by means of the air pipe
should the pressure in the latter fall below that of the liquid.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figures 1
and 2 are sectional elevation and plan respectively of the improved valve.
The valve is of cup shape and preferably formed of rubber or like elastic
material. It is placed in the air supply pipe so that the air comes in contact with
the inside of the cup which consists of a cylinder a closed at one end b as shown.
The cylinder a is pierced by a number of longitudinal or other slits c near the
end b. These slits which are shown much exaggerated in the drawing will expand
and form an outlet for the air coutained within the cup, but will contract as soon
as the pressure on both sides of the valve is equalised, and should the pressure of
the air fall below that of the liquid the rubber will be compressed and the slits
tightly closed and any egress of liquid by way of the valve prevented.
The valve is inserted as near as possible to the tap-cock in the air pipe or
preferably within the cock casing which may be suitably fitted to receive 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 :-
1. An air inlet valve for the air pipes of beer and like pumping apparatus
consisting of a cup shaped body made of elastic material and having longitudinal
or other slits therein as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and
illustrated

Improvements in Handles and Handle Bars for Velocipedes and the
like.
I, ELIAS FREDSEN LARSSON, of Skeppsbron 4, Stockholm, Sweden, Wholesale
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 improvements in handles and handle bars for veloci-
pedes and the like and has for object to counteract the fatiguing effect to the
rider from the shocks and vibrations to which the front wheel of a cycle is sub-
jected on an uneven road, and which are transmitted through the handle bar and
handles to the hands and arms of the rider.
This object is attained by making a suitable spring-connection between the
handles and the handle bar proper, the handles not being directly attached to the
handle bar as is usually the case.
On the accompanying drawing is shown one form of construction of handle bar
and handles according to this invention.
Fig. 1 is a side view of the device, partly shown in section and
Fig. 2 is a plan, also partly shown in section.
The end d of the handle and the part or socket e, by means of which the handle
is fixed on to the handle bar m are shaped in such a manner as to form a spring
containing chamber f. Inside this spring containing chamber is arranged a
spring g, one extremity of which is fixed to the end d of the handle. The other
part of the spring g rests against or is fixed to the socket e which is screwed on
the handle bar m in such a manner that the spring is brought into operation when
the handle is moving round the bolt connecting the end of the handle and the
screwed socket.
The tension of the spring is arranged so that the handle is maintained in the
right position in relation to the handle bar.
If now the hand of the rider rests on the handle and the cycle during riding
is subjected to shocks, these shocks will be transmitted to the spring g and ab-
sorbed by the same, the handle itself only being caused to turn slightly round the
bolt h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
In handles for velocipedes or the like forming in the end of the handle next to
the handle bar a spring containing chamber d, that is movably connected by
means of a bolt h to a socket e screwed on to the handle bar, the said spring-

page_text: containing chamber d'enclosing a spring g that rests against the screwed socket e
and has a tendency to turn the handle upward in relation to the handle bar, sub-
stantially as described.

page_text: Date of Application, 9th Nov., 1898-Accepted, 7th Jan., 1899
A New or Improved Driving Gear by Means of which Children's
Sledges can be Propelled and Controlled.
I, ANNA CATHARINA HARBECK, of Schulstrasse 26, Kellinghusen, Holstein,
Prussia, 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 the introduction of a driving gear for pro-
pelling and controlling children's sledges by means of which the party or parties
on the sledge can move it forward, and also stop it when desired, without the aid
of propelling sticks or other auxiliary propelling means.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have here-
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
one
Fig. 1 is a side view of a sledge constructed in accordance with. my invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line - Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view.
On the drawings:-
The sledge is made with a toothed or spiked wheel e which is carried on an
axle b fitted in the framework b¹ below the seat a. Suitably attached to or made
with the boss of the wheel e is bevel wheel c
a
which gears
with the wheel d fitted on the vertical shaft f. The shaft f is carried up
through the bearing h and above the seat a and has fitted at its upper end a crank
handle g. A collar i is formed on the shaft f to ensure its steady movement
whilst rotating.
When it it desired to put the sledge in motion the crank handle g is rotated
and motion thereby communicated to the shaft f, bevel wheels c, d, and toothed
or spiked wheel e which latter, by means of its teeth or spikes, catches in the snow
or other surface and in this manner propels the vehicle forward.
Should the sledge, when travelling, pass down an incline then all that is necessary
to check its speed is to hold fast the crank-handle 7 and so prevent the wheel e
turning round, thereby causing it to act as a brake.
Instead of using bevel wheel gearing, as shown, friction gear or the like may be
used for transferring the motion from the crank handle g to the toothed or spiked
wheel e.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is:-
A driving arrangement for children's sledges characterized by a toothed wheel

page_text: carried in bearings below the seat and which can be revolved from the seat of the
sledge, so as to drive it forward, by means of bevel wheel or other equivalent gear
operated by a crank, substantially as set forth.
