Improvements in and applicable to Fire Grates.
I WILLIAM BIRD REDISH of 39 Fielding Street, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster, Grate 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 :-
The invention consists essentially in the combination of the following parts,
(1) A stepped back advancing from the bottom to the top. (2) Fixed bottom
extending below the back. (3) A pivotted ash carrier beneath the bottom.
(4) Grate bars disposed at an angle to allow of proper combustion and removal of
the burned fuel.
The drawing herewith is illustrative of the method of carrying my invention
into effect. a is the grate back formed in steps preferably by means of fire clay
blocks. b is a solid bottom extending slightly beneath the back so as to form a
burnt fuel receptacle. c is a carrier pivotted to the bottom 6 at d and extending so
far beneath the back of a grate as to form a carrier for the ashes and prevent the
fuel from falling on the hearth. The said carrier is held in position by the weighty
extension f. 9g are the grate bars inclined downwards from the front towards the
back. As the fuel burns and ashes accumulate on the carrier o, a poker is inserted
between the bars and the said ashes are readily pushed on to the hearth as the
pivotted carrier gives way and allows of their free passage.
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 and applicable to fire grates substantially as herein set forth.

An Improved Ear-trumpet.
I MARIAN ELIZA PHILLIPS of 12, Birchington Road Kilburn, London, Gentle-
woman, 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:-
Hitherto car trumpets have been constructed with a nozzle to enter the ear
which is most painful to many deaf persons.
Now according to this invention I provide a cup reservoir at the largest end of
the trumpet such cup reservoir being made of suitable size so as to cover the orifice
of the ear and I prefer to form the trumpet of two or more telescopic tubes in
which case I adapt the aforesaid cup to the larger or largest tube.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings which
shows my invention as applied to a trumpet made with telescopic tubes, a shews
the telescopic tubes shews the cup end to receive the sound, e shews the cup
reservoir which is to be placed over the orifice of the car when the trumpet is in
use. It will be seen in the drawing that the two end tubes are set at angles as I
find this more convenient for use than when made straight but I do not wish to
limit myself to this.
The trumpet may be made of any metal or material but I prefer to make it of
papier maché wood or such like material in order to obviate the metallic sound
produced in trumpets made of metal.
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
I. Ear-trumpets provided with a reservoir e for the purpose set forth.
II. In car-trumpets constructed with telescopic tubes, the cup reservoir c adapted
to the largest tube substantially as set forth.
III. Ear-trumpets having the two ends of the trumpet set at angles substantially
as set forth.
IV. Ear-trumpets constructed substantially as set forth.

An Improved Manufacture of Spinners' Card Room Cans.
I, THOMAS BROWN, of Regent Works, Sheffield, in the County of York, Steel
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 :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of spinners' card room cans, somewhat
similar to those described in a former Specification No. 5070 of 1887, but differing
from those in having the parts stiffened and fixed together without the use of rivets
or any projections such as might catch the material held by the cans.
Fig. 1. of the accompanying drawings is a side view and Fig. 2. is a transverse
section of a can according to this invention, Figs. 3 and 4 are longitudinal sections
to an enlarged scale of the upper and lower ends of the can.
The body A of the can is made as described in the previous Specification
No. 5070 of 1887, of a sheet of steel bent to cylindrical form with the edges hook
jointed at B. I stiffen the mouth of the can by a ring C which is introduced in
the mouth when it is of the form in section indicated by the dotted lines C³, and
then, by means of a pressing roller applied inside, its inner edge is bent or burred
outwards forming a corrugation D of the shell. The lower part of the shell is
strengthened by an outer shell E, and within it is placed a flanged disc F to form
the bottom, this being fixed in position by its flange being engaged at G in the
corrugation D' formed by pressing out the edge of a ring C as at the mouth.
Besides the corrugations D, other corrugations H, K, L, serve to stiffen the shell,
those at K and L as well as that at D' serving also to fix the outer shell E.
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 :-
The manufacture of spinners' card room cans by hook jointing the edges of a
sheet of steel bent to cylindrical form, strengthening this shell at its lower part by
an outer shell, stiffening the mouth by a ring having its edge burred into a
corrugation, and similarly stiffening and holding the bottom and outer shell,
substantially as described.

An Improved Powder-puff.
I, Madame ANGÉLIQUE MÉLINA BRILLET of 25 Route de la Croix, Vésinet
in the Republic of France, Furrier, 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 powder-puff characterized by the employment of lamb,
sheep, rabbit or similar skin, bleached by any suitable process and clipped to the
desired length.
This puff possesses special properties which distinquish it from the powder-puffs
of swan, goose or other skins heretofore employed.
In fact the latter cannot be cleaned, whilst my improved puff can be very
easily cleaned, and can be used not only for powder, such as face-powder, but also
for fatty substances.
Bleached lamb, sheep or rabbit skin may be provided in any suitable manner
upon the body or handle of the puff. However I will describe by way of example
an arrangement which I prefer to use.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 shows a vertical section of a powder-puff made according to my
invention, and
Figure 2 represents a plan of the same.
In these two figures similar letters of reference designate the same parts.
Upon the disc a of wood or other material is stretched the skin b, a bolster c of
wadding or other flexible material being interposed in order to give the puff the
desired softness and elasticity. The edges of the skin are bent over the top
part of the disc a and held by any suitable means, for example by a cord or
string d.
A cap e of metal, celluloid or other material is employed for covering the skin
at the top.
It is pierced at the centre with a hole, through which extends a
knob provided with a screw held in the disc a. In this manner the various parts
are securely held together.
It is of course understood that the dimensions, forms and arrangements of the
several parts above described may be modified without departing from the nature
of my invention.
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 :-
First. In powder-puffs the employment of lamb, sheep or rabbit skin suitably
bleached and prepared, substantially as hereinbefore described.
Second. The arrangement of powder-puffs of bleached lamb, sheep or rabbit
skin, substantially as above described with reference to the accompanying drawing.

page_text: An Electrical Transformer.
I, EDWARD FRIEDRICH HEINRICH HERMANN LAUCKERT, of Charlton in the
County of Kent, Electrical 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 :--
My invention relates to a simple and compact construction of electrical trans-
former, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
From thin iron sheet I punch out a number of pieces of which two are shewn
by Figure 1 their shape being such that there is no waste of metal. These
pieces of sheet iron varnished or otherwise insulated, are put together in pairs the
long limb A of the one over the short limb B of the other, as shewn by Figure 2
for one pair, and as shewn by Figure 3 for another pair which are put together
in the same way but in an inverted position. The two pairs in the relative positions
shewn in Figures 2 and 3 are then put together forming groups each of four pieces
which would appear as shewn in Figure 4, but while the outer limbs D D of cach
group of 4 are only double in thickness, the inner limbs E are quadruple in
thickness.
As many groups of 4 being put together as will make up the limbs to
the desired thickness, these limbs are thrust into one, two or three tubular bobbins
cach of rectangular section, wound with insulated wire to constitute the primary
and secondary coils of the transformer.
After the one, two or three coils are put on as indicated respectively by
Figures 5, 6 and 7 strips of sheet iron F G one for each pair of the overlapping
plates are inserted into the spaces between the limbs, so as to complete the
imagnetic connection of the limbs above as well as below the bobbin or bobbins.
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 :-
:―
An electrical transformer wherein pieces of thin sheet iron, each of approximately
U shape with one limb longer than the other are grouped together overlapping
each other in such a way as to form two lateral cores, and a middle core consisting
of twice as many thicknesses as the lateral cores, one, two or three of these cores
being enclosed in bobbins and magnetically connected by iron strips, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Watches.
I, WALTER HOOTON, Long Eaton, Derbyshire, Lace Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Instead of springing the ends of the bow of each watch into holes in the sides
of the pendent, each end of the bow is either rivetted fast in the sides of a collar
or securely swivelled in the sides of a collar enclosing the stem of the pendent.
Such arrangement allows the bow to turn round the pendent and prevents the
watch from being readily separated from the wearer's chain when readily
abstracted.

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 :-
Figure 1 shows the front of the case of a watch requiring a key to wind it, and
Figure 2 the front of the case of a keyless watch, with my improvements
applied thereto.
Instead of springing the ends of the bow A of each watch into holes in the
side of the pendent. Each end of the bow A is either rivetted fast in the sides of
a collar B or securely swivelled in the sides of the collar. The collar B shown in
section in both figures surrounds the stem C of the pendent round which it is free
to turn.
Such arrangement prevents the bow from being easily separated from the watch
to detach it from the wearer's chain when abstracted from the pocket.
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 :-
Rivetting or swivelling the ends of the bow A of each watch in the sides of a
collar B, enclosing and being capable of being turned round the stem C of the
pendent, substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.

An Improved Device for Facilitating the Laying of Stair-coverings.

An Improved Device for Facilitating the Laying of Stair-coverings.
I, MAX HOEFT, of 14, Leipzigerstrasse, Berlin, W., 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 :-
My invention relates to a device for facilitating the laying of stair-coverings.
Heretofore coverings could only be stretched out smooth and without folds on
winding stairs when they were made of trapeziform pieces sewn together, so as to
accord with the winding of the stairs. As after their removal and relaying the
coverings must under these circumstances always be placed in the same position the
parts which are most trod upon become very rapidly worn, and it is not possible to
use also the parts which are still in a good condition by shifting the covering as
with straight stairs.
The improved device which constitutes the subject of my invention obviates the
above-mentioned defect, and enables any straight covering to be laid on winding-
stairs without sewing and the like. This device consists of the rods a and b,
Figure 2, which are held together at one of their extremities, preferably by hooks f
and are spread out, their other extremities a¹ and being bent round and passed
through a sleeve c in which they can be fixed by the screw d. The angle formed
by the two rods a and b may therefore be changed according to the angle formed by
two stairs.
For using this device the covering is folded twice at the vertical part of the stair,
as shown at L L Figure 2. Two sides of these folds converge at an angle which
is the greater, the greater the winding of the staircase. The folds are kept
stretched by the rods a and b, one of which is placed in the fold L' in front and the
other in the fold L2 at the rear. These rods are spread out until the covering is
stretched tight, whereupon the screw d is tightened to fix the rods in their position.
The covering is stretched upon the stairs in the well-known manner by rods e. It
is expedient to fix the rods 6 to the rods e through the medium of hooks h whereby
the shifting of the covering is rendered easy. When relaying the covering after
removal any desired parts of the same may be shifted into the fold.
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
A device for facilitating the laying of coverings upon winding stairs, comprising
two rods a and b which may be adjusted so as to place them at any suitable angle
to each other, and which are inserted into the folds L' L' of the covering for
keeping them in their position.

A Wheel with Elastic Rim or Flange.
I, CHARLES HUELSER of the firm of Huelser & Co. of Temple Chambers
London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, a communication to me from abroad by Gustav Ohl, of Neu-Golmkau, in the
Empire of Germany, Farmer, to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is a wheel with elastic rim, so that any shocks
produced on the latter are transmitted only in a slight measure to the axle.
The rim consists of an inner rim connected with the spokes and an outer rim.
To the inner side of the outer rim and the outer side of the inner rim are revolubly
secured hoops or bars to each of which is revolubly attached a leaf spring, the
other end of which is secured to the opposite rim. These jointed hoops or bars
form together with the leaf springs parallelograms which not only afford the outer
rim a certain yield when pressure is produced on the axle, but also admit of a
certain distortion of said rim relatively to the inner rim, which is likewise conducive
to mitigating the effect of shocks on the axle.

An Improved Appliance for Crimping or Waving the Hair.
I, GEORGE LICHTENFELD of 79 Regent Street London, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the means whereby the hair may be easily crimped or
rendered wavy, such effect lasting considerably longer than that of any other
method now in use, it having also the advantage of its being light, durable and
easily heated and applied.
It consists for the most part of a spiral twisted steel wire, having a single straight
wire passing along through the centre of same, the extremities of which at one end
are inserted in a wooden handle of any desired shape, and at the other end being
connected together by any suitable means.
To use my improved appliance the spiral wire before mentioned is first subjected
to heat, the hair being then placed around it.
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from
the principle thereof, I do not restrict myself to the material or the precise form of
5 the parts thereof.
