Improvements in Apparatus for Taking and Projecting Animated
Photographic Views.
I, ALBAN LAPIPE, of 141 Rue Oberkampf, Paris, in the Republic of France,
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 :-
This invention relates to a novel form of apparatus for taking and projecting
animated photographic views. This apparatus is particularly characterised by the
special arrangement and combination of the different parts, whereby the following
advantages are secured.
The apparatus is inexpensive and of great precisiou and it works almost
noiselessly as the feeding is effected by friction.
It is possible to vary as desired the relation between the time the plate or the
like is exposed and the time it is covered. The advancing of the filin or of the
plates is effected without shocks or jerks.
In order that the description which follows may be readily understood, an
apparatus constructed according to my invention is illustrated, but by way of
example only, in the accompanying drawing.
In this drawing, where the same letters of reference indicate similar parts:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the apparatus, and
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
My apparatus comprises the following parts: A shaft A carrying the drum B
for advancing the film, such shaft and drum being rigidly connected. A ratchet
wheel C, the number of whose teeth may vary, which is also rigidly fixed to the
shaft A. A cam plate D, having one or more projections or bosses, fixed upon
the nave of a pinion E. Both the plate and pinion are mounted loose upon the
shaft A, the pinion gearing with the wheel M which will be referred to later on.
A spiral spring G which serves to press the plate D against the ratchet wheel C,
such spring bearing against the washer H and the pin I. A click or pawl J caused
to engage with the teeth of the ratchet wheel C by the action of a spring K.
A driving shaft L carrying a toothed wheel M, a crank or handle N and a stop
ring O. A shutter consisting of a blade or sheet P bent U-shaped, which is fixed
upon a shaft Q actuated by a pinion R which gears with the toothed wheel M.
A slide e guiding the film aud consisting of two jaws, one S being fixed, and the
other T being movable, this latter being pressed against the other by means of the
spring X. A taker-off c, fixed to the sides of the frame, serves to disengage
the film from the advancing or feed cylinder B.

Improvements in and relating to Adjustable Bottoms for Boxes
and the like.
We, ROBERT HELSPER, and WILHELM KNEHANS, both of Bielefeld in the
German Empire, Merchants, 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 present invention relates to a simple and effective arrangement applicable
to boxes and the like, especially those containing goods for sale, whereby the
appearance is preserved of a full box almost as long as the same contains any of
the goods.
The arrangement is illustrated by way of example in three modifications in the
accompanying drawing.
It consists essentially of a false bottom b which can be so secured in the box a
that the same will appear filled even when few goods remain therein.
The first modification, Figures 1 to 4 shows a false bottom adjusted higher or
lower according to requirements by means of two series of links or hooks c. These
articulated chains c Figures 3 and 4 consist essentially of hook shaped inter-
changeable pieces which engage in one another and can be hooked over the side of
the box as shown.
The second modification, Figure 5 consists essentially of a false bottom in the
fortn of a spring which is somewhat curved upwards. In the four corners of the
box a toothed racks c' are secured, upon which the false bottom is adjusted. The
bandle d serves to draw up the bottom whilst in order to depress the same the two
bars e must be bent sideways, whereby the curve of the bottom is increased and it
can then be easily slipped down.
A further modification is shown in Figure 6 characterised by the provision of a
socket d closed above and fixed in the middle of the false bottom b. Into this
socket a support c is inserted through a hole in the bottom of the box a which
maintains the false bottom. In order to make the false bottom adjustable in this
manner it is requisite to have supports of various lengths.
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 :-
1. An adjustable double bottom for boxes and the like consisting of an adjustably
suspended bottom b supported by interchangeable hooks or links c or the like in
the box a substantially as described and shown.
2. In the apparatus set forth in Claim 1 the modification consisting of the
bottom 6 somewhat curved upwards in combination with the handle d and the two
bars e and with the toothed racks c' fixed to the corners of the box a substantially
as described and shown in Figure 5.
3. A modification of the apparatus set forth in Claim 1 in which the false
bottom 6 is provided with a socket d closed above into which are inserted supports c³
of requisite length, substantially as described.

Improvements in Paste Carrying Plates for Electric Accumulators.
I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM SCHNEIDER, Engineer, of Triberg in the Grand
Duchy of Baden, Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what inanuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The invention relates to paste carrying plates for electric accumulators and
consists in an improved plate having special qualities of stiffness and stability and
good conductivity.
The plates made according to this invention are therefore especially suitable for
accumulator batteries for locomotive purposes.
In the annexed drawing the electrodo plate is shown in two modifications.
Fig. 1 shows a frout view of the plate.
Fig. 2 a section on liue -x of Fig. 1.
Fig. 8 the saine section but showing a slight modification of construction.
The longitudinal bars a of the plate, forming essentially a grate-like structure,
are perpendicular to the plate surface and are united by flat (Figs. 1 and 2) or
step-liko (Fig. 3) oblique cross bridges b, which, being oblique to the surface and
separated from one another by intervals, not only give to the plate the necessary
stiffness but also form, in connection with the longitudinal bars a, hollow spaces
serving to receive the filling paste. The parts c provided on the bridges b and
standing out vertically from the plate surface hinder the falling out of the filling
but allow of the free extension of the same.
The oblique cross-bridges b between the longitudinal bars a are arranged
conveniently in rows alternately higher and lower across the plate, as shown in
Fig. 1.
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 plate for accumulator batteries consisting of a grate-like body consisting
parallel bars a furnished with cross-bridges 6 placed obliquely to the plate surface
provided with vertical parts c and uniting the longitudinal bars a of the plate
together forming therewith hollow spaces for receiving the filling.

I HERBERT STONE, of Bracebridge Street, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in handles for cycles or other similar
purposes, such as cricket bats, golf clubs, tennis racquets, and consists in the
combination with an inner lining or body (preferably of wood) which follows in
shape the contour of the desired handle, of an outer tubularly woven felt cover
after the manner herein described and shown.
In order to make this my invention more clearly understood I have appended
hereunto an illustrative sheet of drawing upon which ;-
Figure 1, shows the woven felt tube from which the felt covers for the handles
are made.
Figure 2, shows a sectional view of a cycle handle made according to this my
invention.

The felt is first woven into the tubular shape as shown at 5, Fig. 1, and then cut
into lengths 6.
An inner core or lining 7, (of wood preferred) is cut and shaped to the desired
outline of the handle to be made; those shown being interiorly bored out to fit
upon the cycle handle bar.
The felt cover is now passed on to the core and worked down thereon, and the
end caps or bands 8 and 9, are pressed firmly in their position. In some cases
instead of using the cap 8, I may leave the felt tube a little longer, and press and
glue it down over the end as seen in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
In handles for cycles or other similar purposes as herein before mentioned, the
combination with an inner lining or body having the contour of the desired

Improvements in Ventilating Fans.
We, HARRY FOSTER, Storekeeper, and AARON BERESFORD, Tutor, both of No. 6,
Market Street, Eckington in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of
our invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of ventilating fans and
more particularly such as are used in ventilating pits.
The objects of the invention are, to produce great efficiency, to avoid "churning"
the air, to reduce the driving power, and thereby economise fuel, and to reduce the
first cost, and we attain these by the improved construction of the fan.
These fans as is well known are of large diameter, and are of various
constructions.
We propose to construct our fan in the following manner, without confining our-
selves to the precise details or dimensions which may be given; we make the centre
or hub of the fan, for a fan of twenty feet diameter or thereabouts, for example
about four feet long, and two feet eight inches diameter, the outer configuration being
preferably octagonal, or having eight flats extending longitudinally from end to end,
and having eight projecting longitudinal ribs, say two feet high and of a thickness
sufficient to carry the blades of the fan which are bolted to them.
These ribs are of peculiar form, curving from one corner of the flat, to the corner
upon the opposite side of the same flat at the opposite end, the said curve being flat
or thereabouts for some distance in the centre.
The hub so formed or constructed is preferably chambered out to reduce its weight
and is fitted upon an axle or shaft.
The blades at the bottom edge are of the same lateral curve as the ribs against
which they fit, the curve at each end of the rib being about 30°, but at their top
edge the curves are made much sharper, and the blades are also gradually bent back
to their outer ends.
Between each of the ribs when the blades are in position, a piece of sheet metal
is fitted, it lies flat upon the boss at one end, filling the spaces between the two
adjacent ribs and continues forward inclining upwards until at the other end it is
the beight of the ribs, it is then turned down so as to close the end opening and
secured to the boss.
The rim which encircles the blades and to which they are secured is of the same
curve as the above sheet metal filling-in piece, one edge being two feet or there-
abouts larger in diameter than the other edge, resembling the form of a trumpet.

Improvements in Wind Wheels.
I, JENS CHRISTIAN PEDER SÖRENSEN, of Skanderborg, in the Kingdom of
Denmark, 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 :-
In order to ensure that the effect of a wind wheel shall be as useful as possible
the wheel must be arranged in such a way, that the same offers the best possible
surface to the wind.
For this reason the form of the centre is of great importance for the operation
of the wheel, and the present invention relates to a new form of such centre, by
which the wind is utilized in the best way.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 illustrates a wind wheel in vertical section, and
Figure 2 shows a half plan of the same.
The wheel, which in opposition to those hitherto used, may be called "convex-
concave," consists in a conical centre a, the pointed end of which is turned towards
the direction. of the wind, as shown by the arrow in Figure 1. The point of the
cone may be cut off, as shown by dotted lines in Figure 1. The sidelines may be
slightly convex or concave as shown by dotted lines at the upper line of limitation
of the cone (Figure 1).
To this cone surface the wings A are secured. These wings may be concave or
ladle-formed with their concave sides turned in the direction of the wind.
In consequence of the said form of the wheel, the wind that impinges against
the middle of the same will slide along the cone surface in the concave part of the
wings, so that the same operates at a greater distance from the centre of the wheel,
or in other words, obtains a greater leverage for its operation, so that the force is
utilized in a more effective way than in the wheels as hitherto used.
The regulation of the wings is effected in the ordinary way by jalousies or so
that the whole wing surface is adjustable.
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 :-
Improvements in wind wheels, consisting in a conical centre, to which concave
wings are secured.

page_text: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Lace.
I, WILLIAM GEORGE HEYS, of 70 Market Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 the manufacture of Lace upon a "Lever's" machine, such
Lace having a mesh which appears round. By these Improvements, an imitation of
a "Valenciennes" lace may be produced upon a Lever's machine, as well as other
materials having a circular mesh; a result which has not been attained before.
Known methods of forming the meshes and net work simultaneously with the
general design (mâts), are employed.
The new mesh is produced as will now be described :-
Two threads from the warp beam are combined with two bobbin threads, the two
warp threads moving simultaneously round the bobbin threads, first moving round
the thread on the right hand side when the bobbins are in front and then round the
thread on the left hand side when the bobbins are at the back. The result of this
crossing of the threads is a braid of four threads, two of which are from the warp
beam and two from the bobbins. The complete mesh is formed of two of these
braids of four threads each, or eight threads altogether, four being bobbin threads
and four warp threads.
The new mesh as produced in a Lever's machine according to this Invention is
illustrated by the accompanying diagram to which reference is hereinafter made.
In this diagram, A indicates the bobbin thread No. 8; B, bobbin thread No. 7%;
C, bobbin thread No. 6; D, bobbin thread No. 5; and E, bobbin thread No. 4. The
bobbin threads Nos. 3, 2 and 1 are repetitions of Nos. 7, 6 and 5 respectively. It will
therefore be seen that the bobbin thread 8 repeats 4; No. 7 = No. 3; No. 6 = No. 2;
and No. 5, No. 1. II, indicate threads from beams Nos. 3 and 4 respectively, and
K K, threads from beams Nos. 1 and 2..

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Motor Cars.
I, FRIEDRICH GROSZ, of Lehmweg 58, Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany,
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 an arrangement which is designed for use in motor cars
that are driven by means of chain gear, and it has for its object to combine the
spring suspension or support of the car body with a secure or certain transmission
of power. This is effected essentially by arranging on both wheels of the driving
axle adjustable connecting rods which serve to connect together the wheel axle and
the motor shaft so that the latter shall oscillate or swing in an arc of a circle about
the wheel axle in the case of oscillations of the car body, thus producing no
lengthening or shortening of the chain.
The apparatus is illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 1 of the accompanying
drawings. The car frame w rests by means of springs on the wheel axle r. The
motor shaft m is mounted in the car frame, and is rotated by any suitable motor
engine. The motor shaft m rotates the wheel axle r by means of the chain k.
Between the shafts m and r there are arranged connecting rods p, one at each
end, so that the motor shaft is compelled to oscillate in a circle about the wheel
axle.
Figures 2 and 3 show two modes of constructing the connecting rods.
In Figure 2 the parts a and b which are mounted on the axles are screwed
together directly.
In Figure 3 there are further provided intermediately a tuber and a core-
piece k, the axle part a being screwed to the tube r, whilst the other axle part b
is screwed to the core k. In both cases the two parts are capable of rotating
relatively to each other in order to allow of the axle assuming an oblique
position.
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 arrangement of power transmission for motor cars in which the car
frames are supported by springs from the axles the arrangement being such that
on both wheels of the driving axle, connecting rods serve to effect the connection
with the motor shaft, so that the chain driving gear remains uninfluenced by the
oscillations of the car substantially as described.
(2.) An arrangement of power transmission for motor cars substantially as and
for the purpose herein before described and illustrated.

Portable Force-pump or Fire-extinguisher.
I, FREDERICK JOHN CHEESBROUGH, Fel. Chart. Inst. P.A., Patent Agent
and Consulting Engineer, of 15 Water Street, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 invention consists of a force-pump or fire-engine, which is so arranged that
it may be carried about by one person, and at the same time be worked by that
person.
A force-pump or fire-engine according to this invention is represented in the
annexed drawings, in which
Figure 1 shews a section through the pump and an elevation of the other parts,
and
Figure 2 a perspective view of the apparatus.
The apparatus mainly consists of a pump a, and an air-vessel b. The pump a is
constructed in the usual manner, and its cylinder c contains a piston d, which, by
means of a rod d', is connected with a handle f, movable on a support e on the air-
vessel. At the lower end, the chamber is provided with a suction pipe 9 which is
provided with a valve g', and connected with the vessel containing water, by means
of a hose.
g
The air vessel b, is connected with the pump by means of pipe a', which has
a valve (which is not shewn in the drawings). The air vessel is made in the
form of a box, having a discharge pipe at ', and on each of the edges h of
the back i it is provided with an oblique flange k. Each of these flanges has a
hole 1, on its outer edge, through which holes (1) a strap m passes. The
connection between the pump and air vessel is strengthened by means of a stay n.
When using the apparatus, the strap m is drawn through the two holes i of
the flanges k, and then fastened round the body of the person using the apparatus.
in such a manner that the air vessel rests in front of his body, the flanges k
resting at his sides. After the suction pipe g has been connected with a vessel
holding water, by means of a hose, the person carrying the pump can work it with
his hand.
The back of the air vessel may be made concave, so as to fit the part of the
body against which it rests.
Instead of the strap m, a belt of any construction may be used.
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 is claimed as
this invention is :-
A portable force-pump or fire-engine consisting of an air vessel, such as b, having
a pump a and provided with flanges k and a strap m for supporting and carrying

page_text: the engine; substantially as herein set forth with reference to and shewn in the
drawings hereto annexed.

Although this reaction appears on paper to be feasible,--it is found in practice
that the quantity of saccharine obtainable in this way is almost nil or so small as to
render the process unremunerative. An application has consequently been made to
amend the said specification so as to disclaim the production of saccharine by the
said "second or modified method."
Now the object of this invention, notwithstanding the failure of the method
above referred to, is to convert dichloride of benzoicsulphon acid into saccharine in
an easy and efficient manner.
For this purpose the di-chloride of ortho-benzoicsulphon acid, whether it be the
pure ortho-product or soiled by the presence of isomeric para-dichloride, and
produced from ortho-benzoicsulphon acid, or from a mixture of the ortho- and
para-benzoic sulphon acids by treating these acids or their salts with phosphorous
pentachloride or phosphorous oxychloride or other chloride of the inorganic series
or group, or by any other method, is introduced into a concentrated aqueous
solution of ammonia which is kept cool, and with which it is thoroughly mixed by
constant stirring. The stirring may be continued for an hour after mixing the
whole of the chloride with the ammonia. In order to ensure the reaction being
complete, the mixture may be finally heated up to 100° Centigrade.
It is preferable to use a quantity of ammonia in excess of that required according
to the following equation, in order that free ammonia shall be present in the
mixture on the completion of the reaction. Instead of aqueous ammonia, solid
50 071

page_text: carbonate of ammonia may be used. By this means the ortho-dichloride is directly
converted into the ortho-diamide of benzoicsulphon acid, according to the following
equation :-
The pure ortho-diamide is tasteless and forms small white crystals having a
inelting point from about 295 to 300 degrees Centigrade (uncorrected). For the
conversion of this diamide into saccharine, it is boiled with an equivalent quantity
(one molecule) of a diluted alkaline solution, as for example a solution of caustic
soda, or with earthy alkali. A suitable strength of the alkaline solution is from 1
to 6 per cent.
The saccharine is thus produced as a salt according to the equation
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 manufacture of saccharine by converting the pure or impure dichloride of
ortho-benzoicsulphon acid by means of an aqueous solution of ammonia or of other
substance containing ammonia, such as carbonate of ammonia, into the pure or
impure ortho-diamide of benzoicsulphon acid and boiling the diamide thus obtained
with a dilute solution of an alkali, or with an alkaline earth, substantially as
described.
