Improvements in or connected with Organs.
I, JAMES JEPSON BINNS, of Hough Lane, Bramley, near Leeds, in the County
of York, Organ Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement ;-
The object of my invention is to construct a small suction bellows, to act as
a percussion to pistons or combination pedals in organs, and being a further
improvement on my prior Patent No. 11890 of A.D. 1897.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1.
On the piston or pedal being pressed down to bring out the combination of
stops, the bellows is closed. When the piston or pedal is released the bellows
is gradually filled again and so the piston or pedal is allowed to resume its
normal position gradually without the slightest jerk.
A is the bellows, having an extended arm B which rests upon the block C
of the connecting rod from the fan to the piston, knob, or pedal. D is the
frame or fixing for the bellows A, and E is a hole for air passage through fixing
and bellows. F is a valve preferably of leather or other suitable material,
with a wooden disc attached to same, through both of which is the small
hole H. Jis a spring connected to the bellows. The valve F is secured at its
four corners K to the frame or fixing D. On the piston or pedal being depressed
the rod rises, and the block C is forced into contact with, and lifts the arm B
of the bellows, raising the valve F and giving a free passage for the air, thus
causing the bellows A to collapse. When the piston or pedal is released the
spring at J draws the bellows A and its arm B downwards on to the block C,
bringing the rod 0 with it. The downward movement of A causes suction on
the valve F, closing the top of hole E and drawing in air only through the small
vent or hole H. The movement of A becomes slower as it is drawn downwards
by J, thus causing A to come to rest slowly upon the block C of the rod O.
This ensures silent action and prevents the stops being drawn partly in by the
fans. The size of the vent or hole H regulates the speed of the bellows A on
the return movement.
my
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. A percussion bellows so constructed and arranged as to allow of a quick
down movement of the combination pedal or piston and a slow return movement
to its normal position, substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. A valve for bellows, consisting of leather or other suitable material F,
secured at its four corners K over an air passage E, and having a button G
with a smaller vent or hole H, as and for the purposes shown and described.

Improved Safety Pocket.
Year: 1898

page_text: Improved Safety Pocket.
LEWIS YOUNG, 133, Cannon Street Road, Commercial Road, E., Mantle Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The pocket is constructed in a very simple yet effective principle namely a
pocket communicating with a small tube of the same material & of the same pieces
with a second or under pocket and the under pocket can only be reached by the
wearer, as the opening of the under pocket is inside the garment, which may be
a jacket, coat, waistcoat mantle or other garment in which the ordinary pocket
Is now in use. The difference between the proposed patent and existing patents
is that there are no springs elastics or other mechanical contrivances to get out
of order but simply two pockets communicating by the medium of a tube as before
stated.

I, LEWIS YOUNG, of 133, Cannon Street Road, Commercial Road, London,
Mantle 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 safety pockets for coats, waistcoats, jackets, or other
garments such as mantles and waterproofs.
The invention consists in combining and connecting with an ordinary outer
or visible pocket, a second or inner pocket in a different position in the garment,
so that coin or small and valuable articles though deposited in an ordinary outer
pocket can only practically be withdrawn from the second or safety pocket.
In order that the invention may be fully understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1, represents an outer view of part of a
waistcoat, and
Fig. 2, a view of the inner side of same, while
Fig. 3, represents the application of the invention to the ticket pocket of a
morning or "cut away" coat, and from these figures the application of the inven-
tion to other garments will be readily understood.
In the drawings A represents the ordinary outer opening to a pocket B from

page_text: which extends a tube or chute C preferably of the same material as pocket B to
the safety or inner pocket D, the opening to which is on the opposite side of
material from the opening A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
-
The combination with an outer or visible pocket of a second or inner pocket
connected therewith and in a different position in the garment, substantially as
described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Mould-presses.
I, HARRY FRIEDERICHS, of Hanover-Hainholz, in the Empire of Germany,
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 improvements in mould presses, such as described in
British Patent No. 24413 dated 21st October 1897, in which the removal or raising
of the mould can be effected both by hand, or by means of a mechanically operated
piston. A construction of such machine is described by the way of example in that
specification and in the drawings. Practical experience has, however, shown that
that construction is not altogether suitable for moulds of large dimensions, as the
pins, used for raising, cannot then very well be secured to the cross-piece or H
plate a. It is advisable for such large moulds to employ another device instead
of the "cross-piece," said cross-piece" must be so to say, halved, so that the pins
for raising are then a greater distance apart according to the size of the mould.
In large machines the press-plate p is then not folded down, but laid firmly over
the press-head of the hydraulic press, or brought over the press-head on rollers
or in any other way.
"
The accompanying drawings illustrate, by the way of example, several construc-
tions of the devices according to the present invention, suitable for large machines,
The pins for raising are marked s and the lever for operating them h.
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 I claim is :-
1. A mould press of the character described in which the pins s for raising are
not secured to an H shaped piece but are guided independently of each other, and
only so connected together that their movement takes place simultaneously substan-
tially as described.
2. In a mould press of the character described means for raising the mould,
substantially as described or illustrated in Figure 1 or in Figure 2 of the accom-
panying drawings.

Improved Lubricating Pad for Railway Carriage and other Axles.
I, FRIEDRICH HERMANN KLUGLICH, of 4, Uferstrasse, Chemnitz, in the Kingdom
of Saxony and German Empire, 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:-
For lubricating or keeping in good condition railway carriage and other axles,
oil pads of various materials have been employed made for instance of cotton or
woollen yarn. The former had the great disadvantage that they did not last, that
is to say, they were not very durable, although they are able to absorb a consider-
able amount of oil, which quality would have recommended their use.
Pads of this kind made of woollen yarn have exactly opposite qualities, that is
to say, they are fairly durable, but are only able to absorb so small a quantity of
oil, that their employment is rather dangerous as the axles provided therewith may
get dry and become hot.
According to the present invention oil pads are made in every size and form, of
hair from various animals, especially for instance of cowhair. Such pads have all
the good qualities of the beforementioned kinds without their drawbacks. They
have a very great porosity and are able to absorb a great quantity of oil, do not
cake or felt, and are of very great durability. They are quite safe and reliable in
every case, and are moreover some 20 per cent. cheaper than pads made of the usual
materials.
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 improved lubricating pad for railway carriage axles and the like, sub-

We, TOM SETTLE, of Gasworks, in the Parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle, in the
County of Devon, Foreman of Gasworks, and WILLIAM ALBERT PADFIELD, of the
Gas Light Company's Offices, Exeter, in the County of Devon, Civil 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 fol-
lowing statement:-
Since the introduction of the penny-in-the-slot gas-meters, means have to be
provided to prevent their use surreptitiously under certain conditions, and such
means have mostly taken the form of locking taps.
A simple and efficient tap of this character, it is believed, has not been hitherto
produced, and the object of this invention is to provide such a tap or cock.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front view;
Fig. 2 a side view; and Fig. 3 a plan view, of a tap or cock, with means for
locking the same when turned off.
A is the barrel and B the plug. On the side of the barrel is cast a boss C,
which is bored through vertically.
The plug bar B' is formed with an enlargement D at one end, which is also
bored through.
When it is desired to lock the tap or cock, the plug is turned off, so that the
holes in the enlargement D and the boss C coincide, and a headed metal pin E
is inserted through both.
Near the bottom of the pin E is a transverse hole, in which a soft metal pin G
is inserted, and both ends of this pin G are then rivetted by means of a suitable
appliance, which will also produce a certain mark on the rivetted ends of the
pin G.
In this way, the tap or cock will be locked securely, and means will be provided
for the detection of any tampering therewith.
It will of course be obvious that though we have specially referred to penny-
in-the-slot meters, we do not intend to confine our invention to such, as it is appli-
cable for any purposes for which such an arrangement might be applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
The locking tap or cock as herein shewn and described.

FREDERICK CLEMENT GODDARD, 56, Lower Kennington Lane, Lambeth, Surrey,
Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I take a quantity of colour ground in water, or whiting soaked in water and made
into a thick pulp, or a mixture of both colour and whiting to any required tint or
shade, and add to it about one eighth part of bees wax dissolved in turpentine, stiring
well together untill thoroughly mixed, subjecting it to a gentle heat to assist in the
amalgamation, and when thoroughly mixed I store it in tins or kegs, and when I
require to use the distemper I then add a sufficient quantity of water size to make it
workable, and when cool I strain it and apply it to the wall or object to be covered.
The distemper will dry dull retaining the pure tone and softness of water-colour,
and in a little time the bees wax will so harden that it will remain permanently
fixed, and I am able to wash it and clean all the dirt from off its surface without
injury to the distemper.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Railway and like Buffer Casings.
I, DAGOBERT TIMAR, of 27/28, Luisenstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
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 improvements in the manufacture of wrought iron
railway and the like buffer casings, and enables considerable skilled labour to be
dispensed with, the greater part of the operations being effected by machinery.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 shews a longitudinal section of the finished buffer casing, and
of the two boring tools used thereon.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the bored-out buffer casing, shewing the lateral
slots d.
Figure 3, end view of same.
Figure 4, is a view partly in section of the buffer casing in the mould e, supported
by lateral coiled springs, and of the mandril h appertaining thereto.
Figure is an end view of the mould e.
The process of manufacture of the buffer casings is substantially as follows.
A bar of steel or iron of the requisite length and cross section has a flange jumped
on at its end in the well known manner. The centre is then drilled out by
suitable boring tools such as those marked a and b in Figure 1. In order to form
the piece into a cruciform buffer casing such as shewn in Figure 3, slots d
(Figure 2) are cut in the sides, and the same can then be bent into the precise
shape and size required.
In manufacturing the buffer casings, the same are first bored out as described
and then widened and shaped by means of a mandril the casing of being held
in the tripartite matrix e, normally held closed by the strong coiled springs g
(Figures 4 and 5). At the points the mould or matrix segments are capable
of moving in such a manner that when the mandril h is inserted expansion of the
foot of the buffer casing can take place whilst the inside of the shaft retains its
original diameter. The mould eee and the springs 9 are so arranged that during
the insertion of the mandril h the buffer casing is so firmly held that neither the
shaft nor the jumped-on end plate can be displaced and the required thickness
is maintained.
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. In the manufacture of cruciform buffer casings of one piece of metal without
welded joints constructing the said casinos with longitudinal slote and hatzing

page_text: 2. The improved method of constructing buffer casings in one piece without
welded joints, substantially as described, with reference to the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Hydrometers.
I, JAMES JOSEPHI HICKS, of 8, Hatton Garden, in the County of London,
Meteorological Instrument Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object improvements in hydrometers for use with
various liquids, and more particularly designed for use with small quantities
of liquids, or in connection with batteries or other apparatus in which it is
difficult to insert hydrometers of known construction.
E
For this purpose I employ a graduated glass chamber, within which two or
more differently colored glass floats or beads are placed, and which chamber is
to receive the liquid to be tested, the specific gravity of the liquid being ascer-
tained by the rise of one or more of the floats, as is well understood.
According to my invention I connect to the upper part of the chamber, a
collapsible bulb or ball, or if desired any convenient form of pump may be used,
or the chamber may be of the general character of a glass syringe.
To the lower end of the chamber, which is open, I attach a rubber tube of very
small diameter and of any required length.
Thus, where small quantities of liquid are to be tested, or in cases where it
is difficult or impossible to insert hydrometers of known construction, I am
enabled to charge the chamber with the liquid by inserting the rubber tube
therein, and where required by passing the rubber tube into a small hole or
space in any direction.
The improved instrument is applicable to testing the liquid in galvanic batteries
of small proportions, or of such construction that it is difficult or impossible to
insert hydrometers of known form therein; the instrument is also useful as an
urinometer and for various other purposes.
I, JAMES JOSEPHI HICKS, of 8, Hatton Garden, in the County of London,
Meteorological Instrument 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 has for its object improvements in hydrometers for use with

Improvements in Boxes and the like.
We, CHARLES FAUVEL and EUGÈNE PÉRÉ, of Route de Crosne, Yerres, Department of
Seine and Oise, in the Republic of France, Engineers, 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 principally consists of a box having a movable bottom, and of an
appropriate mechanism by which this bottom can be manipulated, in proportion
as the contents of the box are removed therefrom, so that the latter may appear
to be always full or nearly so.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 represents by way of example a biscuit-box, the movable bottom of which
doubles or lines the bottom proper of the box.
Figure 2 shows a similar box, but without any other bottom than the inovable one
and consequently forming in itself a frame with a small inner flange at its base, upon
which the movable bottom is adapted to rest.
In the case of Figure 1, where the box A is fitted with a bottom A¹, this
bottom is pierced with holes offering a passage for rods C serving to operate the
movable double bottom B; these rods are fixed to a movable bed plate D, at their
lower ends.
The bed plate D is movable in vertical direction and is controlled by a central
screw P, which traverses the same and which is actuated either directly or through
the intermediary of a gearing E.and of a crank-F.
Figure 1 shows in dotted lines a box, from which more than one half of its
contents have been removed, but which still appears full or nearly so, owing to the
movable bottom; this is arranged upon a fixed bed-plate G of a frame H, and the
said bed plate is traversed by the rods C.
In the case of Figure the box is supposed to be fitted with a movable bottom
without a double bottom. The rods C therefore produce a direct thrust upon the
bottom B: As the box is supposed to be full, the hottom B rests upon the inner
flanges a, formed by the sides of the box A.
The same result may also be obtained by means of rigid rods, connected to the
movable hottom; in this case it would be sufficient to exert a pressure upon or
to bear against the box, in order to cause the goods to move up to the level of
its top edge and to stop them at the desired height by a screw or any other
known means.
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 box presenting any form and dimensions, combined with an inner bottom or

page_text: manner, that the
a movable double bottom, capable of being lifted in such a
contents of the box will be always nearly at the same height, in order to thus
impart to the box the appearance of being always full or nearly so.

I, KARL THEODOR SANDRECZKI, of Grabow, in the Empire of Germany,
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:-
The subject of this invention 18 a knife holder for holding the knives in chaff-
cutting machines and which 18 formed, broadly speaking of a number of arms
(ordinarily two) carried by a centrally arranged hub, and curved at their free ends.
The curved portion of these arms is such as to allow of the correspondingly
curved knives being applied and secured thereto by means of screws.
The improved arrangement is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved knife holder partly in section
and
Figure 2 is a fiont elevation.
The hub a is provided with two arms b. The free ends 61 of these arms are
bent over and this bent portion 18 curved to form an aro to which the knives c
are secured.
The knives are held in position by means of screws d screwed into suitable
holes in the portion 6', and screws id are provided by which to set the knives

apindle or axle of the chaff cutting machine, and two such holders would be
employed with each machine.
If it be desired to carry three knives on each holder the arms 6 must be
arranged to form angles of 120° to each other.
As as advantage it may be stated that the improved knife holder is of a
small diameter compared with those hitherto constructed, and, consequently
requires little space. The improved arrangement will be found more convenient
for use and requires less power in driving.

A Compound for Facilitating the Welding of Metals and for prevent-
ing the Deterioration of the same by Heat, or Restoring the
Qualities if Injured.
I, THOMAS ODLUM, Inventor, of 2,514, East Broad Street, Richmond, in the
State of Virginia, in the United States of America, 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 improvements in compounds for use in assisting the
welding of metal, and has for its object to provide a new and useful compound by
the use of which iron or steel may be firmly welded with ease and a less heat or
without injurious effects at a high heat, reducing greatly the cost of the operation
and restoring the life to any portions of the motal that may be burnt.
By the use of my compound a weld may be produced with a heat of any degree,
from a low red heat to a high white heat.
The compound acts as a flux to produce an adhesion, which when the metal is
hammered becomes a firm weld, and at the same time the life is restored to any
part of the metal which may have been burned.
The compound is composed of an intimate mixture of common sand, ground
marble, borax, common salt, and powdered charcoal in about the proportions here-
inafter named.
Common sand, thirty-two per cent
Ground marble, fifty per cent
Borax, twelve per cent 1
Common salt, four per cent
Powdered charcoal, two per cent
The above proportions are not essential, but may be varied within reasonable
limits as desired. The mixture is effected in any suitably preferred manner.
It has been found in practice that a weld may be produced with the aid of the
above compound with more ease, more simplicity, and with a higher heat than by
any other process or with the aid of any other compound known to me, and that
a better adhesion and consequently a firmer weld is produced.
