COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
[Communicated from abroad by HENRY SIMON, of Villa Simon, Brieg, Breslau, in
the Empire of Germany, Engineer.]
An Improvement in Apparatus for Cleaning Grain.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, 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 apparatus for cleaning grain of the kind in which a
eurrent of air is caused to pass through a shower of the grain as it descends from
hopper or shoot, the object which I have in view being to effect a more thorough.
cleansing of the grain and more complete removal of the dust.
a
Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings are sections on planes at right angles
to one another (Fig. 2 being taken on the line Z Z of Fig. 1) shewing so much of
a grain cleaning apparatus as embodies the present invention. The hopper H has
certain freedom of motion rocking on a knife edge or pivot K within an outer case /
at the bottom of which revolves a feed roller R. The hopper with a certain
quantity of grain in it is balanced by a weight W adjustable on an arm k so as to
keep open a certain narrow passage between the roller R and the lower lip H' of
the hopper front.
When the hopper becomes emptied or nearly so, the lip H¹ meets the surface of
the roller, thus closing the passage so that the air current cannot pass up to and
through the hopper. Air taken from any source, it may be from the outlet of a
fan, flows along the passage A round the casing of a worm conveyor S then to a
suction fan along the passage CC, crossing on its way the shower of grain as it falls
from the hopper into the case of the conveyor. The passage A is so much throttled
by an adjustable valve V that the pressure in A and C C is somewhat under that
of the external atmosphere, so that there is always a certain indraught of air at S¹
where the grain is delivered.
Obviously, the worm conveyor S might be dispensed with in cases where a sloping
shoot for delivery of the grain can be conveniently provided.
The apparatus which I have herein described is described also in the as yet
unpublished Specification of my foreign correspondent's application No. 19388
of 1892 in combination with a fan and dust collector, in which Specification it is
not claimed.
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:-
In a grain cleaning machine, the combination of a hopper or shoot supplying
grain and channels for passage of air across the shower of grain delivered from the
hopper or shoot, the supply air channel being more or less throttled by an adjustable
valve, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improvement in Evaporating Apparatus.
We, EDWARD BONAR CAIRD & THOMAS JAMES RAYNER, of 777, Commercial
Road, Limehouse, London E. 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 Specification to Patent No. 5972 of 1888 is described apparatus in which
steam passing through volute coils immersed in water within a casing, generates
steam which is condensed to supply fresh water for boiler feeding or other purposes.
In the apparatus described in the said Specification, as shewn in Fig. 1 of the
drawings thereto annexed, there are certain baffle plates d and e arranged to
separate from the vapour such water as may rise with it Our present invention
relates to an improved construction and arrangement of these baffle plates, and of
baffle plates in similar apparatus, whereby the vapour on its way to the condenser
is more effectually cleared from such water as may rise with it. The accompanying
drawing is a vertical section of the evaporating vessel a with the volute coils k in
its lower part, as in the previous Specification above referred to. The baffles
according to our present invention consist of a lower hollow truncated cone t and
above it an inverted basın v which is fixed by a bolt and nut to the cover of the
vessel, and carries the lower cone by connecting brackets w.
Most of the vapour
rising through the central aperture of t impinges on the interior of the basin v
and passes round its lower edge. Such water as is separated from the vapour
runs down the exterior of the cone t and passes a narrow annular space left between
its lower edge and the side of the vessel a.
It is to be understood that, as described in the before mentioned Specification,
the vessel is provided with safety valve and other valves or cocks, gauges and
connections for feed, steam and vapour, which we have not shewn as they form no
part of our present invention. Obviously, baffles such as we have described are
applicable, not only in evaporating apparatus of the kind described in the Specifi-
cation No. 5972 of 1888, but also in apparatus operating under like conditions that,
is to say, apparatus consisting of a cylindrical or such like casing containing in its
lower part water heated by steam or otherwise, so as to generate vapour which
passes away at the upper part of the vessel.
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 upper part of an evaporating vessel, baffles consisting of a hollow trun-
cated cone surmounted by an inverted basin, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth.

JOHN LEVER 114 Higher Bridge Street Bolton le Moors in the County of
Lancaster Tin Plate Worker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to "tin plate cans" used in the carding and other processes
common in the manufacture of cotton and other fibrous substances and consists of
a double flanged bottom with a flat iron ring inside, the outer flange is then turned
over the body of the can and riveted to the flat iron ring the whole being afterwards
soldered together. By this means it becomes impossible to force the bottom inwards
and any force from the inside exerted upon the flat iron ring only serves to fasten-
it more securely by reason of the support received from the outer flange being
turned over and riveted and soldered thereto :-thus making the "can more.
durable and lasting.

I, WILLIAM RUSSELL of 12 Rothesay Gardens, Partick in the County of
Lanark, Marine Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object to prevent or modify the trouble and incon-
venience frequently experienced by the breaking up or disintegration into sections
of the white or soft metal rings usually employed in the packing glauds of piston
and other reciprocating rods and it consists in inserting into the sections of such
rings a core or rod of harder metal which, in the event of any section being
fractured, will still maintain the parts in position.
The invention is illustrated in plan by Figure 1 and in vertical section by Figure 2
of the accompanying drawings.
C
In casting the sections a of the ring the core or rod 6 is placed centrally in the
mould and the metal poured around it, vertical or horizontal binding pins c or both
if desired being passed through the ends of the rod or core b prior to or after the
casting operation.
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 improvement in soft metal packing rings for piston and other reciprocating
rods consisting in casting in the sections of the rings cores or rods of harder metal
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described with reference to the
drawings annexed.

Improvements in Lamp Globe or Shade Holders.
I, EMILE COLIN, of 36 Rue de Trêvise, Paris, France, 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 :-
The method in actual use for holding the globes of lighting apparatus (either
gas or electricity), consists in three or four claws through one or more of which
works a screw, which engages a groove made for that purpose in the globe to
be fixed. My invention relates to more practicable and simple means for this
purpose same being illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. is a plan of the india rubber or caoutchouc ring, composed of two con-
centric circles, both joined together, which I employ. The exterior circle A is
of hardened rubber or caoutchouc, while the interior circle B is of soft rubber or
caoutchouc, and may be hollow or solid as desired.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of a glass globe gallery or holder, which is com-
posed of an upper part P, the outer surface of which is screw threaded at T. The
part Q is also screw threaded to fit the thread of the screw T. At a small
depression is formed to receive the part A of the rubber or caoutchouc ring.
If the said ring is placed in part Q the part A of such ring (which is of hardened
caoutchouc) enters the depression, leaving above it the screw threaded portion
free. If now the upper part is screwed into Q, its edge T will bear upon the
caoutchouc ring, at the point of junction S between the parts A and B, and will
hold it firmly clamped. The ring B will bear on the inner surface of the glass
globe holder for about half of the circumference.
It will then suffice to insert the globe V in the globe holder constructed as above
described, the ring B yielding to allow the edge to pass, and then contracting
around the neck y, whereby it holds the globe V firmly without needing any other
means for fixing same.
The means for fixing the rubber or caoutchouc ring A, B, may be varied; and
further such ring might be made of any other suitable material which would effect
the desired object.
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 improved means for fixing the globes or glasses of lighting apparatus, con-
sisting in an elastic ring which is secured in the gallery or holder in any suitable
manner, substantially as specified.

Improvements in Taps and Valves.
HENRY KENT Engineer Englefield Green Surrey. I do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The use of a glass or earthenware seating in combination with a rubber or other
suitable valve, worked by an eccentric.
Dated this 10th day of July 1892

page_text: 1, is the chamber for the loose ball k.
m, is a guide rod end, solid with e, and working in a guide ring in the centre of
the tubular piece n.
o, o, are washers or collars, of india-rubber or other suitable material.
p, is a spiral spring which can be employed for low pressure fluids. Its function
is to return the ball k to its seat, and prevent vibration when the thrustpin is
withdrawn by the action of the cam d, as the tap is closed.
My improved tap or valve when constructed as shewn in Figs. 1 and 2 with
two india-rubber balls, is formed with a screw joint at the line x-y. This enables
it to be removed for examination or for repacking the stuffing box, when the
water is turned on. This constitutes a great convenience and advantage, possessed
by very few if any, of the taps now in use.
Another great advantage is the quickness and ease with which the water is
turned on and off, by a half turn of the lever handle. It will also be seen that
the pressure of the water however great, cannot affect the soundness of the
working parts, since it can only operate to press the balls against their seats and
thus close the tap or valve more effectually.
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 improved tap or valve with working parts consisting of one or more
balls, half balls or cones, formed of india-rubber or other suitable material one of
which is attached to a moveable spindle and the other is preferably loose, and if
loose the same must be of globular form, the said balls half balls or cones being
arranged to rest on seats of glass earthenware or other suitable material and
operated by the said moveable spindle actuated by an eccentric cam, connected to a
lever handle or key, as herein described and set forth.
2. In a tap or valve the intersection of the same into two parts one part being
formed as described in Claim 1, and the provision of a chamber with an additional
automatic ball and seat with or without a coiled spring to keep said ball on its seat,
as herein described and set forth.

Improved Means for Advertising Purposes.
I, JOHN THOMAS FEATHERSTONE, of Hollywood Rochester, 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 improved means for advertising purposes and has for its
object to display suitable advertising matter on the packets containing tea, coffee,
cocoa or the like.
According to my invention I place an extra outer covering or wrapper of paper,
tin-foil, or other suitable material, around the packets in which tea, coffee, cocoa or
the like is usually put up.
Upon the outer or inner wrappers or covers I print, stamp, emboss, or otherwise
display suitable advertising matter.
These packets of tea, coffee, cocoa or the like could be sold, by reason of having
the advertising matter on the outer wrapper or covering, for a much less sum than
was heretofore the case, thereby ensuring a ready and wide circulation for the said
advertising matter.
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 improved means for advertising purposes, consisting in providing_an
extra and outer wrapper or covering around the packets containing tea, coffee,
cocoa, or the like, on which is displayed suitable advertising matter, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Seats for Use on Ships.
We, LUDWIG JOHANN ERNST HAASE, Merchant, of 21 Hermann Strasse,
Hamburg, and JOHANN ADOLPH ANTON KIEMER, of 24, Grosse Backer Strasse,
Hamburg, 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 and accompanying
drawing, that is to say :-
This invention has for its object a novel construction of seats for use on ships,
by means of which a person sitting upon the seat retains the same position in spite
of the rolling or other movements of the vessel.
By its use the inconvenience and annoyances experienced by travellers at sea in
rough weather are materially alleviated.
In the accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the invention,
Figure 1 is a side view of the seat when the ship is in smooth water.
Figure 2 is a diagram shewing the position of the seat in rough weather.
Upon a stand or frame e a hollow spherical cup shaped support fis fixed in
which fits a similarly spherical shaped block or frame e which can easily move in
any direction, and which extends all round somewhat beyond the support f. The
spherical block e is provided with a seat a provided with a back c¹ and foot rest g
carried by a plate band suitably cushioned or upholstered.
The horizontal position of the seat is maintained by the seat in rough seas
by the weighted arm or pendulum i.
The apparatus, of which the frame and the seat are made to suit each other,
is provided below its feet with suitable means or material to prevent slipping,
and to keep it in its place in rough weather. Handles are shewn at d to move
it from place to place. Friction rollers are shewn to facilitate the movement
of the block e in the spherical support f.
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 :-
A seat for ships, so constructed that a spherical block or frame can readily
move in a support of corresponding shape, the spherical block being provided
with a seat, back, and leg-rest, and being kept in position by a weighted
lever or pendulum, so that the seat and the person sitting upon it, retain
their position through all the movements of the ship, substantially as described
and illustrated.

other material is extended on either side of the series of tubes to permit of the pad
being sewn or fixed on to any collar or other bearing harness. These tubes may be
made shorter towards the top and bottom of the pad where the friction is not so
great, and longer at the middle where the resistance is greatest. These are made
smaller or larger in diameter as may be necessary. The tubes may be collapsed or
flattened at one end as may be advisable.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood I append herewith a

An Improved Shirt Collar and Neck-tie Fastener.
I, NORVAL MACLEOD of Springhill, Clarkston near Busby in the County of
Renfrew, Cashier, 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 improved shirt collar and necktie fastener constituting the invention is
designed to replace the ordinary button sewn on the back of the shirt neck-band
and also the tabs usually sewn on the back of the collar or the separate clips
employed in conjunction with the collar to hold the neck-tie or scarf in place and
as shewn in perspective by Figure 1 and in cross section by Figure 2 of the
accompanying drawings, the fastener is composed of a thin strip of metal or other
material so bent that the ends a, a' project downwards parallel or nearly parallel to
each other and so that at the centre there shall be a downwardly projecting dished
or curved part a² and which practically sub-divides the fastener into compartments
or recesses at the top.
The end a of this fastener is passed from the exterior through a slit or hole
made in the shirt neck band bas seen more particularly on Figure 2 and so that
the neck-band is received into the compartment or recess a³ and the collar c is
secured by passing a similar slit formed in it over the other end a¹ of the fastener
until the collar is received into the downwardly dished recess a³.
The outer end a¹ of the fastener is adapted to overlap the neck-tie or scarf d and
retain it in place.
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 combined shirt collar and neck-tie or scarf fastener hereinbefore described
with reference to the drawings annexed.

WILLIAM LOVELL PEARSON 11 to 16 Ship Street Dublin Wire Work
Manufacturer and HENRY ARTHUR WATTERS 19 Ashfield Road Dublin
Commercial Traveller do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In this invention the tightening rail of the mattress in addition to the usual bolt
holo at each end has a second hole bored through rail transversely at equal distance
from end and intersecting the other bolt hole.
When by repeated stretching of the wire the rail is brought as far as it can go
the tightening bolt can be withdrawn and the rail turned over so as to bring second
holo into the position originally occupied by the first and the tightening bolt passed
through it as before.
This dispenses with necessity for large open space being left at end of mattress
for tightening purposes, adds to comfort by increasing length of wire sheet, and by
making possible unlimited stretching adds to life of mattress.
