An Improvement in Tents, Marquees, and such like Structures.
I, ALFRED SAVILL TOMKINS, of Holmwood, Caterham, Surrey, Captain in the
Victoria Rifles, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described ard ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
When tents, marquees and like structures are square or rectangular in plan, the
length of the diagonal line from the centre or from the end of a ridge pole is greater
than the length of the line perpendicular to the side, and consequently the roof has to
be made of such height as is necessary to give sufficient slope along the diagonal.
In order to avoid the unnecessary heightening of the roof for this purpose, I make
the vertical sides or walls of the tent or structure higher at their middle parts than at
their end parts, or in other words, I lower the corners of the structure to such an
extent that the slope along the diagonal of the roof is approximately the same as the
slope taken in the line perpendicular to the side.
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 tent marquee or such like structure with its sides of such less height at their
angles than at their middles that the diagonal roof slope from ridge to angle is
approximately the same as the slope from ridge to side.

the pulse tom.
The escapement works in the following manner :-
The pallet of the balance wheel B releases from its stationary position the
escapement lever C, and thereby the escapement wheel D, which is held still by the
pallet of the anchor e, is set free and the lever C receives a strong push on its
impulse-receiver f by means of the impulse tooth i arranged on the escapement
wheel D.
The impulse thus received is then transmitted by means of the fork c to the pallet b
of the balance wheel B.
After the impulse tooth i has slid off the surface of the impulse-receiver ƒ, a
stopping tooth presses upon the pallet of the anchor e, whereby the escapement
lever C, as well as the escapement wheel D, return to a stationary position, and
remain in the same for a time, until the pallet b of the balance wheel B on the
returning swing of the latter, is again released from the stationary position, by means
of fork c, and the escapement lever C, and with it also the escapement wheel D:
whereupon the above described operation again takes place.
The following important advantages are attained by the fact that the stopping
teeth, both of which in the usual apparatus serve simultaneously for stopping and
driving, here are only used for stopping, whilst separate teeth are arranged for giving
the impulse
==
1st. The easy release of the escapement lever C or the escapement wheel D out of a
stationary position, because of the proximity of the pallets and of the anchor e to
the axle of the escapement lever C.
2nd. Powerful driving impulse, because the distance of the impulse teeth i from
the axis n of the escapement wheel D can be more considerably reduced than that of
the stopping teeth h.
3rd. The loss by friction is slight both in the release as well as the impulse
movement, the movement or swing of the escapement lever C through the closer
ID 21

page_text: proximity of the impulse teeth ; and the impulse receiver ƒ to the axis n of the
escapement wheel D being comparatively small.
It is of course immaterial whether in place of an escapement wheel D having both
check and impulse teath, two wheels be employed, one of which bears the check teeth
and the other the impulse teeth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to bo performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
In watch oscapements, the arrangement of separate stop teeth h, separate impulse
teeth on the escapement wheel D, or of separate stop and impulse escapoment wheels
on the same axle, whereby an easier release of the escapement lever (from the
stopping teeth h by means of the pallet of the balance whool B is rendered possible,
and a stronger impulse is given by the teeth to the balance wheel B through the
escapement lever and its impulse finger with the least possible amount of
friction, substantially as described.

It consists of an inverted wooden box A. or chamber lined with tin and with a
woollen jacket between the wood and tin to act as a non-conductor of heat. This
chamber is made without a bottom so that heat may rise into it, and hot air being
lighter than cool air it remains caught in the chamber again, the front of this box
is hinged to act as a door and to allow of access to the plates &c. within.
ends of this chamber are notched as shown to allow the stand which is used in con-
junction with it to fit up closely to the chamber. The plates to be kept hot are
supported as shown by the round dots. This box is supported on four or more
legs B and is heated by means of a spirit lamp. The legs are made to pack inside
for portability.
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. box or chamber with its open mouth downwards made so as to receive the hot
air from a spirit lamp or other heating medium placed below it-the hot air by its
greater lightness is caught in this inverted box-the box being made of non-
conducting material for retention of heat.

An Improved Button Fastener.
We GEORGE BELL and WILLIAM NICHOLLS trading as Bell and Nicholls of
5 Holland Road Aston near Birmingham Manufacturers, 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 :-
This invention consists of the formation of a fastener for boots leggings and all
articles of dress or otherwise where buttons with shanks can be used and the object
to be obtained by our form of fastener is great strength combined with simplicity and
comfort in wear.
The fastener consists of a metal disc formed slightly cupped or concave with a
tongue piece turned back across it and bent to receive the shank of the button.
Referring to the drawings
Fig. 1 is a view of a button (a) the shank of which is passed over the tongue (b)
which is then closed down upon the cupped piece (c).
Fig. 2 is a plan of the fastener.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the fastener shewing the tongue (b) bent over but not closed
down.
The fastener may be made of any desired metal but we prefer to make it of iron
or steel cutting it all out of one piece of sheet metal and stamping or pressing it up
into the required form.
When desired we can form a nib or projection on the cage of the disc (a) as shewn
in the enlarged detail Fig. 4 at (d) under which the tongue (6) can be sprung when
pressed down.
Fig. 5 is a detail sketch shewing a recess or groove (e) in the edge of the disc (a)
which may be made to house the end of the tongue.
Fig. 6 is a greatly enlarged section of the tongue (b) shewing the form the metal
is bent into in order to obtain great strength; but we can make this tongue of any
desired section such as round oval or flat.
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 :-
Making fasteners for buttons out of one piece of metal substantially of the form
herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improved Method for Packing Brittle Goods.
1, THOMAS WILSON ROBERTSON, Engineer, 88 Alfred Terrace, Mountpottinger
Road, Belfast, in the County of Down, Ireland, 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 practice generally adopted of packing such articles as eggs, crystal and
many other goods equally brittle has hitherto been between layers of straw in
hampers, crates or boxes.
My improved method consists in the use of some resilient substance for instance
vulcanized rubber cut into stripes of such width as will correspond with the article
to be packed. This stripe of resilient material I bend into waves or curves.
When a number of such bent stripes are joined together at their points of contact
the result is the production of a sheet or web of cells of a suitable shape and size for
the article to be packed.
A reference to the accompanying drawings will fully illustrate my meaning.
Fig. 1 shows the edge of two stripes bent to suit different forms of articles.
Fig. 2 represents a number of such stripes connected so as to form a sheet or web,
and I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular mode of
manufacturing this sheet of cells as it will be easily seen that practically the same
result may be obtained by merely forming the cavities or cells in a solid sheet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be applied, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
A cellular sheet or web of resilient or elastic material containing cavities
made of squares, rounds or other suitable forms to securely pack brittle goods for
transmission.

and mixed together when the heated mass is poured off into a convenient receptacle
and afterwards allowed to cool down after which it is rolled aud stamped out into
suitable shapes and it may then be used for patching or mending the soles of boots
or shoes or any other suitable purpose.
We find the following proportions of

It is not necessary for the purpose of producing our material or composition to
employ all the ingredients, but we may omit one or more. The method of applying
the material is carried out by first slightly heating the same, or the piece to be
applied after which it will adhere tightly to the surface over which it is placed. If
desired we may use our composition in a liquid state, instead of allowing it to cool
as aforesaid.
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. The use of gutta percha, gold size red lead pitch and bisulphite of carbon or
their equivalents in combination for forming a tenacious composition substantially
as described.

JOHN MCFERRAN of Barnageeha Fort William Park Belfast Director and
JOHN BARBOUR PIRRIE of Green Edge Carrickfergus Ireland Mill Manager 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:-
These improvements consist of a simple and novel device for varying the position
of the builder or ring rail in ring and traveller spinning frames or of the bobbin
lifter in flyer spinning frames after each layer of yarn so as to build pirns
or cops.
The device is illustrated in the drawing herewith in which fig. 1 is a sketch of so
much of an ordinary wet spinning frame as is necessary to shew the connections of the
apparatus and figs. 2 and 3 are views drawn to a larger scale to shew the construction
of the device or apparatus.
This device is attached to the arm (a¹) of the ordinary quadrant or traverse
rack (a) and consists of a screw (b) to the end of which the builder chain (c) is attached
the screw (b) being prevented from turning round by arms (6¹) the ends of which
move in parallel slots (a³).
The chain (c) is passed round guide pullies (e) and round the boss (a) of the
quadrant (a) and thence to the ordinary builder shafts (d) to which a rocking motion
is given by the back and forward movement of the quadrant (a) this rocking motion
is however at a different place each time owing to the chain (c) being let out or taken
up by the screw (b) being moved endwise by its nut (f) being turned by means of a
bevil wheel (1) thereon which is in geer with a bevil wheel (3) to which a ratchet
wheel (3) is attached. This ratchet wheel (f³) is actuated by a pall or catch (9) at
each oscillation of the quadrant (a).
When the pirns or cops are complete and doffed and the builder or bobbin lifter has
got to its furthest position it is brought back to the starting position again by winding
or unwinding the builder chain (c) by moving the screw (6) endwise by means of a
handle connected to a bevil wheel (*) which also geers into the bevil wheel (¹) upon
the nut () of the screw (b).
It is obvious that instead of the screw (b) moving endwise through the nut and
wheel (f) it could be made fast thereto and the builder chain (c) be attached to a nut
moving on the screw (b) in place of the guides (b) in the parallel slots without
deviating from the essential novelty of this invention.
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
The apparatus described consisting of a screw actuated by bevil and ratchet wheels
for the purpose of varying the position of the builder or ring rail or of the bobbin
lifter in wet spinning frames when making pirns or cops.

Improvements in Halters.
I, WILLIAM FREEMAN of Charnwood Villa Swanswell Place Coventry in the County
of Warwick Traveller do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object improvements in halters by which I obtain a halter
in one piece capable of adjustment to fit the head of any sized horse or any cattle
from those of the smallest to those of the largest and this I effect in a cheap, simple
and substantial manner without rough knots projecting to irritate the animal.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practice I have appended bereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which I have
shewn two examples of my improvements.
Figure 1 illustrates a halter with both the parts A and B flat.
Figure 2 illustrates a halter with only the part B³ flat.
In carrying my invention into effect and referring to Figure 1 I form the head A
and nose B in one piece composed of a band of plaited string or its equivalent with
an eye formed at the angle of the two pieces and an eye b at the other end of the
nose B through which the head band A passes to form the back a¹ of the nose B.
The head band afterwards passes through the eye b' at which point a near or about
according to the size of the head the plaited string band is converted into a rope so
as to form the rein a2 and it will thus be seen that by drawing the back portion a and
the rein a more or less through the eyes and I am enabled to adjust the halter
to snit any sized head to which it may be required to be attached. Instead of the
head being a flat band as seen at A3 1 may form it round as seen in Figure 2 in which
case the nose would still be formed of the plaited string band B3 having the eyes b*
and at the ends respectively and the whole adjustable as explained with regard to
Figure 1. It is evident that a similar effect will be produced by making the part B
separate as seen at B³ Figure 2.
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 1
claim is :-
The improvements in halters consisting of the nose, head and rein formed as shown
so as to be adjustable substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shown
upon the drawings.

Improvements in Tips for the Heels of Boots and Shoes.
I, DAVID MAYER, of the firm of R. F. Mayer, of Schwäb Ginünd, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to manufacture metallic tips for the heels of boots
and shoes; the tips being so constructed that, in case of wear taking place at one
part more than another, the worn part can be turned to another position; an unworn
part thus taking the place of that which has been worn away.
My invention consists of two plates, one fixed and the other rotary, and capable of
being turned round upon the fixed plate.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the fixed plate, which is permanently fixed to the heel of
the boot.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the rotary plate.
Fig. 3 is a section showing the method of uniting the plates, and
Fig. 4 shows the method of turning the rotary plate round upon the fixed plate.
a is the fixed or stationary plate, which is secured to the boot by screws; b b being
the holes provided for the screws. c is a circular plate, having grooves c', to prevent
slipping. Two studs 9 9 are fitted in the plate c, which enter any two of the holes f
in the plate a.
The plate e is secured to the plate a by a single screw e, passing
through the hole d in the plate c, and tapped into a corresponding hole in the plate a.
The studs 99 prevent the plate c turning round, when screwed down. A disc h, of
rubber, cloth, or other elastic material is interposed between the plates to absorb
vibration.
When it is desired to turn round the plate c, the screw e is partly withdrawn, so as
to release the studs g g from the holes ff, as shown in Fig. 4. The plate c can then
be turned, and restored to its proper position as shown in Fig. 3.
These plates may be made of cast steel, iron, or other suitable metal, and the
number of holes, studs and screws, and their positions may be varied.
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 application and use of improved metallic tips to the heels of boots and
shoes, consisting of a plate a permanently fixed, and a rotary plate c, capable of being
secured in any position and of being revolved on the plate a, substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. The general construction, combination, and arrangement of the several and
respective parts, together forming my improvements in tips for the heels of boots and
shoes, substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
