Improvements in Horse Shoes.
I, ALBERT JAYES of 11 Charles Street Leicester in the County of Leicester
Blacksmith do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
My invention consists of an improved method of making horse shoes so that a
horse can get a firm grip on any kind of pavement & at any time of the year-
To carry out the said invention I make a mould the shape of a horse shoe in which
are several deep recesses for running or filling in Indiarubber, composition or other
suitable material. When the said indiarubber composition or other suitable material is
taken from the mould the projections made by the said recesses in the mould will fit in
corresponding holes made in the horse shoe. The said holes are made round, oblong
or any suitable shape, so when the horse shoe is complete the said projections stand
out from the shoe, so by this invention the horse is enabled to get a firm grip & is
prevented from slipping.

I, TOBIAS BÄUERLE, of St. Georgen, Baden-Schwarzwald, German Empire, clock-
manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN LAMP-CLOCKS," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The lamp-clock consists of a lamp, a lamp-shade, and a clock, and all this is
combined in a manner that the shade at the same time is used as a bell of the
striking-work.
Figure 1 represents the front-view of the lamp-clock, the parts H, L, K to be
seen.
Figure 2 represents a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the lamp-clock.
Figure 3 is a detail view.
Figure 4 the like.
A is the lower part of the lamp and consists of the tank of the fuel B and the part C,
which is used to receive a clock-work of usual condition.
On this lower part A three pipes are fixed, bearing a hoop E, that lies in the height
of the lower edge of the shade F. The latter is hanging at the armature of the lamp,
so that it may be employed for the striking of the hours, and moreover bears two
progressions of numbers from I to XII, so that the time may be read from two sides.
In the hoop E, there run on rolls G the toothed rings H bearing the hour and the
minute-hands J, so that the one toothed ring is employed on the hours, the other on
the minutes. These rings have an exterior toothing, into which two wheels K are
gearing, which are moved by two spindles L put in rotation by the clock-work. The
same pass through the pipes D.
The spindles are set in motion in the following way. The clock work contained
in C is fitted with a spring and balance motion and moves two pointers mounted on
rings, one of which indicates the hours and the other the minutes.
Both of them gear with the spindles L which rotate in consequence of this and
transfer this rotary motion to the wheels. A third spindle M, likewise passing
"

page_text: through one of the pipes D is moved to and fro by the clock-work C in the
direction of its axis and causes, by a lever-mechanism, the striking of the hammer at
the shade F.
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 lamp-clock with a suspended lamp-shade used at the same
time as a dial-plate and as a bell for the striking-work.

page_text: I JOHANNES JACOBUS PRINS of Arnhem, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
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 compound engines and consists in certain improvements in
the means for actuating the valves thereof.
The annexed drawing shows a triple expansion engine with the improvements
applied thereto.
The improvements consist in driving all the valves by means of one eccentric by
connection of the eccentric rods for each valve to the same eccentric ring. The several
steam cylinders A B C are situated radially round the crank shaft P and their pitmen
drive upon the same crank.
The eccentric disc a moves all the three slides the rods as of which are connected
at suitable points e e¹e around the circumference of the ring R of the eccentric
(see Figs. 1, 2 and 3). In a triple cylinder compound engine the cylinders may be
arranged at angles to each other of 45°, in four or more fold cylinder engines the
remaining cylinders would be arranged radially round the shaft but at a less angular
distance from each other.
By these improvements less friction and consequently economy in working
are obtained by the simplification of the parts and also less cost in construction.
The engine shown in the drawing may have the cylinders inverted as shown, or the
same may be below and the shaft above.

page_text: 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
In compound engines the combination of a shaft having one crank or parallel cranks
and several cylinders arranged radially around said shaft to operate said crank or cranks 5
with one eccentric disc for operating the valves of said cylinders substantially as set
forth.

We SAMUEL EDGAR FORBES OGDEN of the Albion Foundry, Miles Platting near
Manchester, Engineer and WILLIAM IRELAND of 69 Heywood Street Moss Side,
Manchester, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
These improvements refer to an invention for which Letters Patent No. 4098 were
granted to William Ireland (one of the present applicants) on the 22nd September 1881
and consist in dispensing with the slot at the bottom of and immediately opposite to
the grating in each of the air passages forming the cellular bridge described in the
specification of the said Letters Patent and in arranging the grid or grating through
which the heated air escapes at an angle of about 70° to 75° with the centre line of
the flue as hereinafter described.
On the accompanying drawing we illustrate in Fig. 1 a side sectional view of one
of our improved air passages-a series of which "air-passages" laid side by side
across the furnace thus constitute the cellular bridge to such furnace as and for the
purpose described in the said former specification.
It will be observed that this improved air passage is open at the bottom end a and
is there designed to receive its cold air supply from the ash-pit of the furnace as
heretofore but instead of having a slot as hitherto for permitting any dust to fall
behind the bridge-it is now formed solid as illustrated.
At the outlet end we arrange a grid or grating c set in accordance with this
invention at an angle of from 70° to 75° with the centre line of the flue at which
angle we find that the heated air passing through the improved air passages and
issuing from such grid or grating more effectually meets and commingles with the
smoke and other products of combustion passing over the bridge and assists in their
combustion than when the grid is arranged horizontally as heretofore.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1st. The improved "air-passage" and the employment of a series thereof in the
cellular bridges of steam boiler and other furnaces substantially as herein before
described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2nd. In the construction of "air passages" for the bridges of furnaces setting the
outlet grid or grating at an angle substantially as and for the purpose herein before

2. That each kind of Wind and Water Bars may be used on each or any part of
Sash or Frames, or Casements or Doors, as the nature of the case may require.
The features of novelty are as follows, riz. :—
That the Wind and Water Bars on the meeting-rails clasp each other, rendering tho
two rails as one, preventing the usual clattering noise, and also preventing wind or
water rising between them; thus dispensing with the unsightly sand bags, wedgos,
and various other ineffectual appliances.
That the Bars or head of sush frame and pully stiles, cut off all draft and noise
from the top sash, and meets the difficulty hitherto of applying anything to that part
of a window.
That the Bars on the bottom sash, also cut off all draft, and dispenses with the
usual listing and papering, and the bars allow of the sashes working with the greatest
freedom.
That the Bars prevent burglars effecting an entrance by means of the sash
fastener, for they cannot now move the fastener, as it works over the hars, and is thus
protected.
That the Bars or folding ensements admit of their working freely, and yet he
secure against wind and water, and saving the use of unsightly and ineffectual
appliances both outside and inside. The same applies also to Single Casements and
Doors.
That the Bars have a neat and tidy appearance, and are durable.

for Hay, Straw, and the like.
EDWARD HANCOOK Merchant Spalding in the county of Lincoln 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 :-
To a suitable base or bed plate of wood or iron I attach or fix uprights in such
a manner as to form the frame work of the press, which uprights also form guides
for the movable top A as shown in the accompanying drawing, on the edges of
the said uprights teeth B. B are cut to correspond with pawls or ratchets C. C
attached to the movable top A. so that when the pressure is obtained by the levers
it is retained by the pawls or ratchets becoming engaged in the said teeth-To
obtain this pressure, levers of any desired length D. D. are used, shod at their ends
with iron, with a toe attacheil thereto, corresponding to holes punched or cut in
the said uprights. These levers move or work over loose fulcrums E. E. that can
be moved either to or from the centre, according to the pressure required to force
down the material being pressed-When being filled with the Hay or straw it is
desired to press, the loose or movable top is raised to the required height, and held
there by pins placed through any of the holes in the frame in which the toes of the
levers are inserted, when the press has been filled, the pins are taken out, and the top
allowed to come down on the material to be pressed, the levers D. D. are then
applied as shown in the drawing.
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 means of pressing Hay, straw and the like, by a press the power of which is
obtained by levers of any desired length, working over loose fulcrums, and the toes
of the said levers, taking their hold or grip in holes cut in the frame or uprights as
herein before mentioned."

Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal Cooking Vessels.
We, FRIEDRICH WILHELM KOFFLER of 22 Auhofstrasse Unter St. Veit near Vienna
Austria Engineer, and ADALMAR BREDEN of the same place, 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 the manufacture of metal cooking
vessels and in carrying out the invention the said vessels are made from alloyed sheet
iron, that is to say from sheet iron, which has been zinced by the hot process, and
from which the surplus zinc has been removed at this stage thereby, only leaving upon
the sheet iron a uniform and strongly adhering layer of an alloy of iron and zinc.
Such alloyed sheet iron is a commercial article.
In manufacturing one of our improved cooking vessels the said alloyed sheet iron
is first tinned in the usual way on one or on both sides and is afterwards cut into
strips of suitable dimensions from which the cylindrical sides or portions of the
vessel are formed; the bottom is then inserted and riveted to the sides in the usual
manner. Instead of proceeding as aforesaid the cooking vessel is sometimes formed
from untinned alloyed sheet iron, the inside, or both the inside and outside of the
vessel being afterwards tinned. Another method of making these improved cooking
vessels consists in stamping them and afterwards tinning them, which method can be
advantageously practised by reason of the great tenacity of the layer of iron and zine
alloy which does not become broken by the stamping operation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and the manner of performing the same we declare that what we
claim is :
Cooking vessels manufactured from alloyed sheet iron tinned on one or both sides
before or after the vessel has been formed.

ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My present invention relates to improvements upon my Patent No. 1260, 1884
which refers to a composition or Cement composed of five ingredients in certain
proportions, and in the preparation and use of which a considerable amount of skill is
requisite to bring about a successful result.
As the outcome of numerous and continuous experiments 1 have found that an
effective cement can be made of two ingredients well mixed or compounded together
in the given proportions; and that such a composition is more readily prepared, and
the result more certain, when placed in the hands of an ordinary workman.
It consists of a mixture of
30% of Anhydrous Calcium Sulphate.
Although I have given the proportions that I find to give the best result, I do not
consider my invention to be confined to the precise proportions of seventy and thirty
per cent., as the same may be varied one or two per cent. either way without departing
from my invention.
The composition or cement so made is used or applied in the usual manner the tang
being roughed as described in the beforementioned Patent No. 1260º.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed or carried into
effect I declare that what I claim is :-
A composition or cement for the purpose specified composed of the two following
materials in the proportions given or thereabouts.

necessary to detach it from the socket which receives the end, by removing the rivets
which held it, and then having shortened it rivet it again in the socket. This was
a tedious an objectionable made of eflecting the alteration
Our improved tendon-pipe is provided with an adjustable screw joint formed of a
female thread attached to the socket of the tendon pipe, and a male thread which
engages therewith attached to the shank, so that when the tendon requires to be
shortened, all tlmt is necessary is to detach the shank from the knee joint by removing
the screw or pin which secures it, and then give the screw joint a few turn- till the
tendon is sufficiently tight.
