An Insole or Sook.
I, ADOLF MAA88, Merchant, of 31 Leipziger Strasse, 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 :-
This invention relates to an insole or sock which is intended for insertion into
boots for protection from wet, cold and perspiration.
The sock conforms in shape as usual to the shape of the inner sole of the
boot, and differs from the ordinary socks which consists mostly of hair, fibre
or cork, in the material of which is composed and the substance with which it is
impregnated.
The sock is made of thin paper-board preferably wood paper-board, and is
impregnated with a disinfecting agent such as carbolio acid.
A sole of this kind can, by reason of the cheapness of its material, be discarded
after one-day's wear, and a fresh sock can be used on the next day. This
greatly increases its efficiency as otherwise after long-continued use, the absorptive
quality of the sock diminishes and the leather of the boot becomes injuriously
affected.
The slight thickness of the paper-board sock allows of its being worn without it
being necessary to have the boot made wider or stretched, that is to say without
the wearer experiencing any uncomfortable pressure.
The impregnation of the sock with a disinfecting agent, acts, not only to remove
the unpleasant smell of the exhalations from the foot, but it has in addition a
remedial effect such as in gouty or rheumatio ailments.
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 sock made of naner-board and impregnated with a disinfectant substantially
as described.

Improvements in or connected with Wood Wheels for Vehicles.
I, AUGUST REICHWALD, of 9, New Broad Street, in the City of London, Steel,
Iron, Metal, and Mineral Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from abroad by Adolf Resow of Essen, in the Empire of
Germany Engineer) 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 or connected with wood wheels for
vehicles.
Up to the present, the spokes of wood wheels are generally connected with the
felloes in such a way that the plugs on the ends of the spokes are lodged in corre-
sponding radial holes of the felloes. This construction presents the disadvantages
that the felloes are weakened by the holes, so that under a certain or excessive
load the plugs of the spokes are apt to split the felloes, and by the penetration of
moisture in the joints, between the plugs and the felloes, both parts are liable to
get rotten.
These disadvantages are prevented by the following manner of connecting the
spokes with the felloes as shewn and described with reference to the accompanying
drawing at Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. As the drawing shews, a cap-formed
shoe a of steel receives the outer end b of the spokes (c, d, e,) in its cavity f. To
connect this shoe with the felloes h it either embraces them by means of two side-
cheeks g, and rivets i complete the connection, as shewn with the two spokes c
and d, Figure 1, or the prolonged bottom-plate of the shoe, covers the inner
surface of the felloes as shewn with spoke e in which case screw-bolts / are
passed through the tire m, the felloe and the ends of the spoke-shoe a.
Such wheels also can be arranged so that the spokes may easily be exchanged,
this merely depending on the special construction of the metal or steel-nave.
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 improvements in or connected with wood wheels for vehicles, consisting of
steel or metal shoes receiving the external ends of the spokes in radial cavities, and
connecting them to the felloes either by cheeks embracing the latter, or by a
prolonged bottom-plate, placed on the inner surface of the felloes and fixed by
rivets or screw bolts, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Lanterns.
1, CHRISTIAN PHILIPP HERDT, of 75 Möhrfelderstrasse, Frankfort-on-the-
Main, in the German Empire, 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, reference being had
to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that
is to say
In lanterns, as hitherto constructed, especially in those employed by cyclists,
policemen, postmen, guards, and others, a defect exists in that the light is thrown
entirely forward by means of a reflector fixed in the interior of the lantern, as well
as by a cone-shaped reflector fixed in the light outlet. Thus the ground at the
feet of the user, or beneath the cyclist, lies completely in shadow. This accounts
for the frequent accidents which occur at night. Any obstruction is visible at a
distance of 2 or 3 yards, but at the moment when it is to be overcome, the light is
already far in advance of it.
By arranging a fixed or adjustable reflector outside the lantern, in front of the
light outlet, a part of the light is reflected downwards, so that the above mentioned
danger is avoided. The distance lighting is, on the other hand, not in the least
interfered with, as a part of the rays can be thrown forward past the reflector
either above, below, or alongside it. The mode of employing the reflector is
regulated according to the temporary purpose, and the manner of using the
lantern.
In the accompanying drawings, various arrangements for different kinds of
lanterns are shown by way of example, A being the lantern itself, and the same
letters of reference indicate like parts throughout these drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 show breast lanterns adapted for the use of postmen, guards, and
others. In front of the light outlet, or of the coneshaped reflector, a, is arranged
the reflector 6 which can be adjusted by the arms d so that a part of the light may
be thrown downward.
Fig. 2 shows a similar lantern with two reflectors.
Fig. 3 is a hand lantern with a shade-like reflector all round it.
Fig. 4 is another arrangement of a hand lantern.
Figs. 5 and 6 show arrangements for cycle lanterns with moveable reflector b,
above and below which a part of the rays serve for distance lighting, while
another part, reflected by 6 illuminates the machine and the ground beneath 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:
In a hand, breast, or cycle lantern, the arrangement of one or more fixed or
moveable reflectors of any desired form, outside the lantern, in such manner that a
part of the light is thrown downward for the purpose of illuminating the ground
at the feet of the user, or at the lower part of the cycle, substantially as described.

We, ERNEST HOLMES, of 3, Champion Terrace, Charlton, S.E. Civil Engineer,.
and SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co., LIMITED, of 12 Queen Anne's Gate, West-
minster, in the County of London, Electrical Engineers, 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 drill which a workman can carry from place to place
and apply with the pressure of his hands to drill a hole, the rotation of the drill
spindle being effected by an electric motor mounted within the casing of the drill
and connected by flexible conductors to a source of electricity which may be
stationary and at more or less distance from the place where the drill is applied.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a vertical section, with the armature
sliewn in elevation, of a drill according to this invention,
Fig. 2 is a plan looking from below, the lowest conical part of the casing being
removed to shew the framing, gearing, and field magnets.
A is the magnet core wound with insulated wire and having attached to it pole
pieces B of crescent shape between which revolves the armature C, and from which
projects downwards a yoke D bored centrally to form bearings for the armature
spindle E. On the lower boss of the yoke D is fixed an underframe F, of
which Fig. 3 is a side view. In this frame is arranged reducing gear consisting
of a pinion G fixed on the armature spindle and gearing with a wheel H, a
pinion G fixed to H and gearing with a wheel H' on the drill spindle K which.
extends downwards and terminates in a holder for the drill L.
Between the lower end of the underframe F and a collar of the drill holder are
interposed a number of washers M to constitute a thrust bearing. The motor
and framing are enclosed within a covered casing N through which pass two
handles P screwed into the magnet. A workman holding the whole by the
bandles can carry it to the spot where a hole has to be drilled in a plate and press
it against the plate.
In order to deaden shock when the drill has passed through the plate, a ring R
of caoutchouc or other elastic material is held in a socket at the bottom of the
casing, and this strikes the plate when the drill has passed through.
The commutator, brushes, electrical connections and switch for turning on or
off the current are omitted from the drawing for the sake of clearness, these
appliances being all of well known kind and adapted to the motor in the usual way..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A portable electric drill constructed and operating substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.

the right side of the body the hatchet; the left side the pick. The apex of the
spade forms an angle with upper point of hatchet, on right; and point of pick, on
left. Where the body joins the handle on left (pick side), the body runs out to a
sufficient distance to allow of the foot being placed ou it in digging. There is a
similar width on the right side to bring the hatchet to a proper angle for cutting.
As a spade the tool is effective, standing, kneeling, or lying down. The possession
of one makes a man independent of the tool cart. The dimensions of body are as
follows-Extreme length 8 inches. Do. width 8 inches. Thickness inch.
Length of handle 16 inches. Diameter of do. 1 inches.

Improvements in or relating to Sharpening-tools, Grinding-tools,
and the like.
I, WILHELM KRAUS of Aachen, 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 sharpening-tools, grinding-tools and the like. Hitherto
it has been necessary to have the water for wetting a grinding-tool in a special and
separate vessel. This practice has many disadvantages such as those of inconvenience,
and the spilling of the water.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figures 1 and 2 are longitudiual central sections of two examples of sharpening-
tool constructed according to this invention.
They illustrate hand grinding stones of porous material, which have each a
hollow space a inside either permanently closed on all sides, as in Figure 1, or, as
in Figure 2, having an opening b, which can be closed by a plug as shown. The
hollow space a is used for receiving water or other liquid which is sucked into that
space by the stone or is introduced at the opening b, and which serves to replace
the liquid used up by grinding, or lost by evaporation and so keeps the stone
uniformly humid.
Such a hand grinding-tool therefore receives and gives out the liquid necessary
for grinding, so that the use of water or other liquid iu separate vessels and the
disadvantages thereof disappear.
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. A porous sharpening or grinding tool shaped to possess a cavity such as a to
contain liquid for the purpose described.
2. A sharpening or grinding device substantially as and for the purpose described
and illustrated in Figure 1 or Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings.

We, THOMAS LUMSDEN and MICHAEL BROWN, trading as Lumsden & Brown,
Mechanical Engineers, of Bankwell Lane, Gateshead, in the County of Durham,
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 wrench for pipes, tubes round bars and the
like. It consists of an open flat linked or other suitable chain with both edges of
each link smooth and concaved, having long links on one end coupling it to a hand
lever. The link end of the hand lever is provided with two or more short fingers
the centre distance of whose points is more than the pitch of the chain. When the
lever has two fingers we prefer this distance to be equal to one and a half times the
pitch of the chain, but other distances will work satisfactorily. The size of the
fingers is such that they will easily enter the openings in the chain: the length and
size of the chain is regulated by the sizes of the tubes or the like on which it is
required to operate. To apply the wrench, the chain is put round the object to be
turned, the loose end passed between the long links, and one of the fingers on the
lever end will at once enter an opening in the chain. The pitch of the fingers being
greater than that of the chain, very little motion of the hand lever will put either
one or the other finger into gear, and on the lever being moved in the proper
direction the chain will grip the tube firmly and with a uniform pressure all round.
There is therefore no tendency to distort or bulge the tube.
In the drawings
Fig. 1 is a side view of the wrench showing it fitted round a tube.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing how the hand lever is connected to the chain
by means of the long links.
C is the chain, D are the long links, H the hand-lever and F the fingers
on the hand-lever. T represents a tube as an example of the objects to which the
wrench may be applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In the wrench,
1. The combination of a chain with a hand lever attached thereto, the latter
adapted to engage the chain substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of a hand or other lever provided with two or more fingers
in connection with an open linked chain attached to the lever.
3. The combination of an open linked chain with a hand-lever having two or
more fingers whose pitch is greater than that of the chain.

Improvements in Cotton and like Reels.
I, WILLIAM SMITH of 26, Linden Road, Dewsbury Road, Leeds, Traveller,
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 reels for cotton
and the like, and has for its object to render them less expensive in manufacture
and more convenient in use.
These reels are commonly made from wood which are turned into the required
shapes. Large quantities of wood are thus employed, which render the manufacture
somewhat expensive, the weight of the reel being also considerable.
In carrying out my invention I propose to make these reels from cardboard or
mill board. The hoard is bent into cylindrical shape to form the body of the
reel. The ends are cemented or otherwise fixed to the cylinder and consist of
discs of stout board. The end discs are pierced so as to provide the usual central
hole.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a reel according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a
cross section.
The central tube or cylinder A is formed as above described from a sheet
of cardboard, mill board, or like material of suitable thickness. The end discs B
which are perforated at 6 consist of discs fixed on the end of the cylinder A.
These reels will be much less expensive in manufacture than the ordinary ones and
will also be considerably lighter.
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 improved reel for cotton and the like constructed from card-board,
mill-board, or similar material, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved reel for cotton and the like the body of which is formed
from a cylinder of card board, mill board or similar material and the ends
from discs of the same fixed on the cylinder, substantially as and for the purposes
specified.
(3.) The improved reel for cotton and the like formed from card-board, mill-
board, or similar material, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying
drawings and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in the Manufacture of White Lead Pigment, and
in the Separation of Metallic Lead from Lead Sulphide.
I, ALICE MACDONALD, of 13 Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill, in the County of
London, 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 Specifications of my Patents No. 2883 dated Feb. 9, 1893 and No. 11972
dated June 17, 1893, I described a process for producing white lead pigment and
separating metallic lead from lead sulphide such as galena. My present invention
relates to a modification of this process by which I obtain a better pigment.
For this purpose I fuse galena or other lead sulphide and on the surface of the
sulphide so fused, but not into it, I direct a current of air and steam either
separately or mixed together. In the latter case the steam may be used to propel
the air by injector action.
By this means a basic lead sulphate of great purity of colour is produced and
volatilised and after being collected by suitable means, can be used directly as a
pigment. The composition of the sulphate produced (which is constant) has the
formula 2 PbSO + PbO and its constitution is similar to that of ordinary white
lead. A quantity of metallic lead is also set free and carries with it all the silver
contained in the ore, as a result of the reaction sulphur dioxide is also evolved and
can be utilised as may be desired.
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 herein described process for producing white lead pigment and separating
metallic lead from lead sulphide by fusing the sulphide and directing currents of
air and steam either separately or together onto the surface of the fused mass.
