Improvements relating to Packing Arrangements in connection with
the Production of Fluid Tight Joints.
GORDON EARL ADAMS Howley Lodge Maida Hill London W. Gentleman do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to packing arrangements, such as may be used, for piston
rods, valve spindles, and the like, I may describe my invention as follows.
I make angled shaped rings or plates or segments of rings or plates of white
metal, or such like suitable material, and like shaped rings or plates, of asbestos,
leather, or like material. These rings or plates I pack alternately (or as may best
suit the purpose required) in the stuffing box, in such a manner that when the
gland is screwed down, the pressure acting upon these rings or plates, owing to
their shape causes them to spread and press against the spindle or shafting on which
they bear.

Improvements relating to Packing Arrangements in connection with
the Production of Fluid Tight Joints.
GORDON EARL ADAMS, Howley Lodge Maida Hill West, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My invention relates to packing arrangements, such as may be used for piston
rods, valve spindles and the like. To more fully describe my invention, I make
use of the following drawings:
Fig. 1, is a section of a packing gland with my rings in position.
Fig. 2, is a section of such a ring.
To pack with these rings I first place two rings of any suitable packing a a¹ in
the stuffing box; I then place one of my metal rings on the top of said packing,
I can use a series of these according to depth of stuffing box. When the glande
is tightened down the rings being of a wedge shape, will cause the packing to be
wedged apart, a outwards against the box d and a' inwards against the piston rod c.
Thereby causing a fluid tight joint, with an even pressure throughout.
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 ring of a wedge shape as described above to be used in conjunction with any
suitable packing.

Improvements in Cooking Stoves.
I JOHN EYRE RUSSELL, Ironfounder, of Peel Foundry, Derby in the County of
Derby, 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 that class of cooking stoves known as
Yorkshire ranges.
In the cheaper forms of this class of range, the oven is placed on one side of the
fire, with the bottom about on a level with the top of the grate, and the hot plate
forming the top of this oven generally extends across to the opposite side of the
range. Above the oven, and between the hot plate and the covering-in plate of
the range, is a space which has hitherto been practically of little use; and the
object of this invention is to utilise this space for a hot closet.
Now, in carrying out this invention, I remove the oven flue from the back
of the range, and I place it by the side of the hood or smoke conductor, which
conducts the smoke from the fire to the chimney, and I extend the coving on
one side of this flue forward, and bring it out flush with the side coving of the
range.
With this extended coving or partition, I cast sockets at top and bottom, to
receive the pivot pins of a door, a catch being cast on the side coving of the
range for the latch. By these means, I provide a useful hot closet, instead of a
comparatively useless space.
In the accompanying drawing,-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a Yorkshire range with my improvements added
thereto, and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 1-2 of Fig. 1.
A is the hot plate, and B the top covering-in plate of the range. C is the hood
or smoke conductor, and D the oven flue.
The outer side coving D' of the flue D is extended forward as shown at Fig. 2,
and has, at its front edge, sockets a a, to receive the pivots bb of a door E. I
may here remark that I am aware double ovens, placed one above the other,
have been used in some forms of this range, but this necessitates an extra flue,
and so increases the cost of the range as to make the price prohibitive, whereas,
by the present invention, the ordinary Yorkshire range is without material increase
(if at all) in the cost, made more useful.
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 :-
1. The utilisation of the space between the hot plate and the top covering-in
plate of a Yorkshire range, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as
herein shown and described.
2. The improvements in Yorkshire ranges substantially as herein shown and
described.
3. Providing a hot closet above the hot plate of a Yorkshire range, substantially
as herein shown and described.

An Improvement in Feed Troughs.
I, JARED GILSON DAVIS, of Lee, Massachusetts, United States of America,
Breeder of Horses, 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 a construction of feed trough as I shall describe referring
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan with a portion of the cover broken away, Fig. 2 is a side elevation
and Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a front view of the feed opening, Fig. 5 is a part section shewing a
modification.
1 is the feed trough and 2 is the compartment in which the food is placed and
whence it flows through the opening 3 as the food in the trough 1 is consumed.
The trough is made with two sides 4 and elevated parts 6 forming a right angle 7
BO as to fit into a corner, the partition 5 being a quadrant concentric with the outline
of the trough which has a lip projecting outwards as shewn in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, or
may have an inwardly projecting lip 20 as shewn in Fig. 5, this preventing the food
from being spilt over the edge.
On ledges 9 is placed the plate constituting the bottom of the supply compartment,
this plate being perforated for ventilation purposes, or a plate not perforated may
be used when the food is more or less fluid. The plate in either case slopes down
from both sides to the feed opening 3. This compartment is covered by a remove-
able lid 11 strengthened by ribs 12, and having through it holes 13 for ventilation.
The two sides of the lid rest on ledges 14 at the covers and the front has a
projecting tongue 15 fitting in a notch 16 of the partition. The trough 1 is
preferably provided with two radial bars 17 which prevent the animal, as it feeds,
from pushing the food towards the ends of the trough, but do not interfere with
the spread of the food over the bottom of the trough. Also to prevent food from
being thrown over at the corners of the trough the lower parts of the sides 19 are
made with angle ribs 18 projecting over the corners.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A feed trough constructed substantially as described and illustrated by the
drawings.

1, FREDERIC LOUIS SERMENT, Engineer-residing at 99 Rue de Rome
Marseilles in the Republic of France, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follbars.:-

"
The exhaust of steam engines, and especially those of gas or petroleum-motorsa
produce a very disagreeable sharp noise.
This apparatus has for its object to remedy this serious difficulty.by.completely.
deadening the sound of 'the' exhaust.
In small motors the apparatus is composed of a receiver in which is cast, or if
necessary fitted (in the latter case the receiver is provided with a cover) a conduiti
in the shape of a flattened trumpet having its discharge orifice of rectangular shape,
so that the gases entering it are discharged in a thin layer, taking a gyratory
motion expanding in the interior of the reservoir they are then forced to deflect in
order to follow the exit pipe which projects in the interior up to the centre of the.
reservoir.
For larger motors the' apparatus is constructed on the same principle.but with..
larger outlets into spaces of various shapes.
It is always composed of a reservoir in the interior of which is arranged.a
cylinder, The gases enter the reservoir by a tube the direction of which forms a
tangent to the inner surface of the said reservoir, for the purpose of imparting
thereto a gyratory movement. The gases escape first into, a circular gallery
formed by the said cylinder being retracted and tangent thereto, along an incline
which is itself a tangent to the curve of entry of the inlet pipe. To insure the
gyratory movement the said gallery is closed near the inlet by a partition.
After the first expansion in the said gallery the gases expand again, in a passage
having a crescent shaped section,. they are then deflected to pass into the outlet.
pipe which projects into the interior of the reservoir."
For very large motors a channel of triangular section is made round the...
beforementioned cylinder by means of which a third expansion is produced before
the last deflection preceding the exit.
All these channels and expausions are combined to disturb the sound waves and ...
thus destroy the noise.

like Lamps.
I, ALBERT WATSON, 54 Cemetery Road, Southport, Lancashire, Manager of
Meat Works, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in fittings for railway carriages and other
vehicles, and more particularly to the seats thereof.
According to my invention the seats of such carriages or vehicles are provided
with springs or similar devices operating in connection with a movable rod or the
like for the purpose of turning or switching a light on or off according to whether
the seat is in use by passengers or not.
The seats may be made adjustable and the springs also serve to diminish the
unpleasant effects of vibration experienced by travellers.
When a passenger enters the carriage or vehicle and the seat is in use, the
pressure upon the springs causes the movable rod aforesaid to communicate the
required movement to regulate the light which will be fully maintained as long as
the seat is occupied, but when the passenger vacates the seat, a reverse movement
occurs, and the light is then wholly or partly extinguished as required.
In order that the nature of my invention and the manner of performing the same
may be clearly understood, I will now proceed to further describe the construction
and action thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is sectional elevation, and
Fig. 2 top plan of a railway carriage with my improved arrangements adapted
thereto.
The seats a a are made adjustable and provided with springs to allow of such
seats moving up or down to a certain extent as they are occupied or vacated
respectively. Upon an upward or downward movement of the seat taking place,
the red or connection c is actuated so as to turn the gas tap at d and thereby raise
or lower the light in the compartment where it is located.
Considerable economy in the consumption of gas may thereby be effected.
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 fittings for railway carriages and other vehicles, substantially.
as hereinbefore set forth and described.

both of 29 Kleine Reichenstrasse, Hamburg in the German Empire, Merchants,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same 18 to
be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to tiles made of cement (or cement mortar) for covering
roofs or walls, and consists in forming or moulding the top side said tiles hollowed
out for the purpose of lightening them, and in combining with such lightened tiles
when required wires inserted thereinto for the purpose of strengthening them.
On the drawing appended hereunto a tile made according to our invention is
shewn in elevation by Fig. 1 and in section by Fig. 2.
The improved tilo differs from those ordinarily used by having the top side b
hollowed or made concave as shown, which reduces the quantity of material used
in making the tile and renders it specially suitable for buildings intended to last
only a short time, as the cheapness and reduced weight of the tiles offers considerable
advantages in such cases.
Where greater strength and durability is desired than the recessed tile made only
of cement or cement mortar possesses, we insert into the same during the moulding
wires or wie netting as indicated at a on Figure 2, whereby the tile is considerably
stiffened without its weight being materially increased.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manuer the same is to be performed, wo declare that what we
claim 18:
1. The manufacture and use of cement tiles hollowed out or concave on the top
side substantially as and for the purpose herein before set forth.
2. The combination with cement tiles hollowed on the top side of wiles of wire
netting inserted into said tiles, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore

Improvements in Tobacco-pipes and Oigar-holders.
1, EMIL LACHMANN, of No. 19, Kaiser-Wilhelmstrasse 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 subject of this invention is an improved tobacco-pipe having a support or
base of cork or similar material secured to the bottom of its bowl; owing to which
attachment the pipe, when placed on the table, after use, retains an upright position
thereon, even should the table be shaken more or less violently; so that, as it
cannot be upset, no ashes can fall out of the bowl. The attachment is also.
applicable to cigar-holders, as will be seen from the accompanying drawings in
which
.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent a tobacco-pipe improved in accordance with this invention,.
while
Fig. 3, illustrates the application of the invention to cigar-holders.
The bowl A of the pipe shown in Figs. 1 and 2, carries either a base or support
made integral with it; or the said base or support may be made separately of cork
or like material, and fixed or cemented to the bowl. In the case of the cigar-
holder shown in Fig. 3, the same purpose is accomplished by a rib or collar provided
with a number of plane surfaces.
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 :-
A tobacco-pipe with a base or support for preventing the pipe, when out of use,
from being upset and the ashes from falling out of the bowl, substantially as berein--
before described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wooden Cocks or Taps.
I, JOHN BRIERLEY HOWARD of Penny Bank Chambers, Halifax in the
County of York, Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention
which has been communicated to me by Gerson Graumann of Nuremberg Bavaria,
in the Empire of Germany, 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 wooden cocks or taps for emptying
casks or barrels containing beer, wine, vinegar, spirit, volatile oils and the like.
Heretofore wooden cocks have especially suffered from the fact, that the cork
ring inside the shaft, rotted on account of the air penetrating from outside and of
the moisture in the interior of the cock. Small pieces of cork break off through
this, so that the cock leaks and causes a dripping of the liquid from the cask.
This invention dispenses with the cork ring and a plug of vulcanite is employed
arranged in a metal case, instead of the wooden plug.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
in which,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved tap or cock.
Fig. 2 is a section through the axis of the plug of the tap.
The tap or cock consists of two parts, viz. of the wooden shaft a and the metal
pipe b with plug c of vulcanite. The pipe bis screwed into the shaft a so that the
borings of the two are connected one with another.
The plug is ground into the conical boring of pipe 6 and may be tightened by
means of a nut d. In the plug c is a pin e, which can move within a cut or recess f
which limits the movement of the plug c.
By using a vulcanite plug which is not acted upon either by beer, wine, vinegar
or other liquid, the respective liquids will not acquire a bad or foul taste, as in the
case of wooden cocks, with cork tightenings. Through the absolute tightness of
this cock, dripping of liquids or escaping of carbonic acid gas is rendered
impossible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of my
said invention and in what manner the same has to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :-
A cock or tap for fluids, the shaft a of which is of wood and the mouth pipe b
is of metal, a conical plug c of vulcanite being adjusted in the latter as and for the
purpose herein described and as illustrated by the annexed drawings.

ERNEST WILLIAM MAYER Surgical Instrument Maker 71, Great Portland
Street London W. 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 improvement consists in replacing with an air pad the stuffed axilla pad at
present in use on crutches.
"
The air pad A. consists of an envelope B. of rubber alone, or of rubber in
combination with canvas or other suitable material. Into this envelope air is.
driven, and retained by means of a suitable valve C.
The envelope thus filled with air forms a more or less elastic pad according to
the amount of air introduced into the envelope.
The pad thus constructed to be of the same shape as existing pads, or of such
other shapes as may be considered more suitable to the purpose in view.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I hereby declare, that what I.
claim is,
The elastic air axilla pad for crutches which,
1. By its adaptability to the body lessens the friction, thus preventing chafing.
2. Its elasticity lessens the shock of crutch coming in contact with the ground..
3. Its hollow air pad keeps the axilla cool and comfortable.

A Purse or Pocket Combined with a Devotional Book or Bible.
EDWARD HENRY TOULMIN of Wooton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, Engineer
and Metal Worker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to enable worshippers at public services to carry
conveniently the coins required for the offertory or collection, without the necessity
of taking their purses, whereby they are safe from the operations of pickpockets,
who often reap a harvest on such occasions.
The invention consists of attaching or combining a purse or pocket with a prayer
book, hymnal or bible, or other devotional book to be carried in the hand by the
worshipper.
The mode of attachment may be made in various ways, either inside or outside
of the cover of the book, but I prefer to place the receptacle inside the cover, and
thicken the edges of the cover so as to conceal the purse from an observer.

A Purse or Pocket Combined with a Devotional Book or Bible.
I, EDWARD HENRY TOULMIN of Wooton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, Engineer
and Metal Worker, 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 is designed to prevent church-goers from having their purses
stolen while attending service. It consists of a pocket for money inserted beneath
the cover of a bible, testament, prayer book or other devotional book so that a
worshipper can leave his or her purse at home, and take only the coin needed for the
collection. This device would effectually stop pocket picking in places of worship.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing,
in which
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a book with cover open, showing the pocket
or purse a, in which the coin can be carried.
Fig. 2 shows a cross section of the same.
b is the opening of the pocket. c, is a flap the tongue of which engages with
the slit d.
Very little space is occupied by a pocket of this kind, which is not noticeable
when the book is closed. If preferred the flap of the pocket can be made to open
at the end instead of the side, or some suitable snap can be used instead of the
tongue and slit.

Improvements in Water-waste Preventer Cisterns.
I, THOMAS ATKINS of The Victoria Foundry Co. Herrick Street Wolver-
hampton Ironfounder 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 consists mainly of a bucket, actuated by a lever and operating
upon the shorter end of a syphon, which, without the aid of valve, flap, disc, or any
such device, lifts or forces a sufficient quantity of the contents of the cistern to
start the syphon.
The inlet end of the syphon A. Fig. 1. is considerably widened A 1. the bucket B.
having a rather larger diameter, and working over it. Through the bottom of the
bucket is a perforation C. of a like capacity to the outlet pipe D. of the syphon so
as to maintain an uniform supply thereto.
Upon the lever E. being pulled the bucket rises, lifting sufficient water to charge
the syphon, which then continues in action till the cistern is empty.
A modification may consist of a piston F. Fig 2 working in the interior of the
inlet pipe of the syphon, such piston having either a valveless perforation through
it, G. or having its diameter so reduced as to allow an efficient water-way past it.
A modification may also consist of a stand-pipe covered by a bell, H. Fig. 3. such
bell serving for the inlet end of the syphon, and upon this the bucket operating.
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. The application of a valveless bucket for charging a syphon.
2. The application of a piston having a valveless perforation, or having its
diameter so reduced as to afford an efficient water-way past it, for the purpose of
charging a syphon.
