JAMES SPENCE, Engineer, 35, Avon Street, Ballymacarratt, Belfast, I do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is an improved means for drawing curtains, and consists of a
right and left hand spiral screws, mounted on a pole that is passed through the
screws. The ends of the screws are then fastened to the pole, so that the screws
and pole revolve together.
On the end of the pole described there is an ornament which serves as a sheave
in which the cord is placed for the purpose of operating the screws.
A portion of the outside end of screws heren described has a finer pitch than
the remainng part for the purpose of gathering the curtains into a smaller space
at the outside ends.
The whole is mounted on suitable brackets or supports and may be operated
in the following manner, viz.
The curtains are hooked on the spiral screws, the screws are then made to
revolve by working the cord in the sheave on the end of the pole.
This operation draws the curtains in or out as required.

An Improved Hospital Sink and Wash-tub.
I, JOHN MERRILL, 30, Albany Road, Sheffield, Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My object is to produce a hospital sink which after placing the object in the
sink, will without further handling cleanse and scald.
1. The outside & inside of a bedpan.
2. The outside & inside of a chamber utensil.
3. The outside & inside of a urinal bottle, and
4. That can also be used as a washtub to scald & wash soiled linen.
I construct a sink Figs. 1, 2 & 3 of the accompanying drawings of non-
porous material of any convenient shape preferably circular having a flushing
rim A at or near the top. In the bottom towards the front or on one side I
construct an outlet B which may be trapped & which can be closed by the plug or
stopper C. Also at the bottom towards the back or side I construct an inlet rose D
in such a position that when the bedpan E is lying face downwards over the rose
the handle or arm of the bedpan is lying over the outlet B.
Towards the bottom but át one side as shewn in the cross section Fig. 2 I
place an inlet nozzle G in such a position that when the urine bottle H is placed
with its mouth over the nozzle & the water supply turned on the contents of the
urine bottle will be washed out into the outlet of the sink.
I attach to the sink six supply valves.
1 each hot & cold to supply the bedpan rose.
1 each hot & cold to supply the urinal bottle nozzle.
1 each hot & cold to supply the flushing rim.
Of these only two are shewn in the drawings.
The operation of the sink is as follows:
To cleanse the bedpan E Fig. 1 it is turned face downwards over the rose D with
the arm lying over the sink outlet B as shewn Fig. 1. The valve I is turned &
At the

same time or later the valve J to flushing rim is turned on & the sink is
flushed & the outside of the pan is cleansed.
The same method used for chamber utensils & also the same operation is
required for the urinal bottle H but the mouth is placed over the nozzle G & the
corresponding valve turned.
To scald linen or to use the sink as a washtub the plug C which is shewn Fig. 1
conveniently placed when out of use is put into the sink outlet B Fig. 3 & the
hot valve to flushing rim turned on. By first placing the linen in the sink the
two hot valves to flushing rim & rose may be turned on at the same time & the
linen scalded from above & below.

page_text: 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

Improvements in the Manufacture of Trunks, School-bags, Boxes,
and the like.
I, JOHN RUSCHPLER, Saddler, No. 52, Schonhaus Allee, Berlin, N., Germany, 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 conditions which must be satisfied by any material used for the manufacture
of travelling trunks are acknowledged to be light weight accompanied by great
strength, elasticity and resistance to pressure. The material which hitherto bas
come nearest to satisfying these conditions is a kind of cane-mat i.e. a material
built up of numerous strips of cane intertwined together from which the trunks
are afterwards formed.
This material however is open to the objection that fractures occur in the canes
from which the material is inade during the subsequent building of the trunk,
which materially effect its powers of resistance. Besides it has been remarked that,
when the material has been covered with canvas, faults are perceptible owing to
the uneven adhesion of the cement to the cane work. Moreover the considerable
expense of the process prevents the universal introduction of this material. The
process which forms the object of the present application produces a material for
trunk sides which adequately satisfies all the conditions mentioned.
A slab of homogeneous cotton material e.g. wadding is dipped in a solution of size
covered on both sides with a layer of jute fabric also soaked in size, and then
subjected to a high pressure under a suitable press or the like and then dried. The
proportions of cotton & jute may be varied according to requirements. The
material thus produced is of a light specific gravity, considerable elasticity, and
can easily be covered with canvas or other suitable fabric as it presents a smooth
and even surface.
Apart from the triffing cost of manufacture the material made according to the
process described above ensures an important economy as the sheets can be
supplied of the exact size required.
Small boxes may be made from a single piece of this material, by spreading
the sheet when damp over a conical or other shaped mould and pressing it. This
renders angle-pieces unnecessary and naturally increases the strength of the box
considerably..
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:-

I, BERNHARD FROLICH, of Reudnitz, near Leipzig, in the German Empire,
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 the furnaces of steam generators and its object is to
so construct and arrange them that the smoke is completely consumed. In carry-
ing these improvements into effect additional air is supplied to the fuel not only
at the point where primary combustion or roasting takes place but also, when
desired, in the combustion chamber. The improved devices are applicable to all
furnaces the grates of which are covered by an arched wall.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in section a type of furnace furnished
with the arched or reverberatory roof, and having two grates, the first one being
inclined and the second one horizontal, The fuel is fed to the first grate upon
which it is partly consumed and along which it gradually passes to the horizontal
grate where the combustion is completed.
The inclined grate is indicated at g and the horizontal one at h. j is the
arched or reverberatory roof provided with an air passage a which opens by means
of the ports or passages into the space above the inclined grate g. The pass-
age a opens at the front of the furnace where it is furnished with a regulating
door or damper, and preferably passes around the walls of the furnace as indi-
cated by the dotted lines so that the air becomes heated before it is admitted to
the products of combustion. At the same time as this air is admitted, a second
supply may be admitted to the combustion chamber or space above the horizontal
grate. In this case the air enters below the grate through a door and passes
along the passages d and e finally passing into the furnace through holes or open-
ings in the plate or grid f. This air becomes heated on its passage and ensures
the combustion on any smoke which may not be already consumed.
Ordinarily the air admitted above the inclined grate is sufficient to cause com-
plete combustion, so that the admission of a second supply of air is not always
necessary. But the provision of means or devices by means of which a second
supply may be admitted is necessary, as occasionally, owing to neglect on the
part of the fireman, too much fuel is added and large quantities of smoke are gener-
ated for the combustion of which the second supply of air is needed.
The door e may, of course, be regulated as desired.
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:
In a furnace of the type described, means or devices for admitting air simul-

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Locking Nuts on Bolts and Screws.
I, JAMES EDGE, of 29, Princess Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Colliery Salesman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, which has been
communicated to by Robert Wood, of Portland, Melbourne, in the Colony of
Victoria, Australia, Gentleman, 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 improved device for locking nuts on bolts or screws
wherever subjected to oscillation or vibration with the consequent liability to
unscrew.
The improved locking device consists in its essential features of a washer fitted
over the screw which is flat on one side to prevent the washer turning, and a nut
with recesses or prepared surfaces into or upon which flat strips or projections on
the washer are forced to lock the nut when the latter is in the desired position.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
-
Figures 1 and 2 are side view and plan of the nut a in this case a four sided nut
shown provided with four recesses a¹.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the washer b provided with two flat strips or pro-
jections b¹.
Figure 4 is an end view of the bolt c showing part of the screw thread cut away
on one side at c¹.
Figure 5 is an elevation of the bolt c with the washer b.
Figure 6 is a transverse section of a railway rail d and fish plates e bolted
together and secured by the improved locking device.
In this case the bolt c is passed through holes in the two fish plates e and the
rail d, the washer b is then slipped on to the projecting end of the bolt and the
lock nut a is then screwed on to the end of the bolt c and firmly locked in position
by bending over and forcing into two of its recesses a¹ the projecting strips 61
of the washer.
It will be readily understood that each washer b might have only one projecting
strip 5 or three, four or more such strips, and also that the nut a may be hexagonal,
octagonal or of other suitable form, and that the recesses a¹ although preferable
are not essential.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. An improved locking device consisting of the following parts in combination
a bolt having part of its screw thread cut away on one side, a washer adapted
to fit over the threaded part of the bolt, and a lock nut having a recess (or recesses)

page_text: adapted to receive a bent over portion formed on the washer all substantially as

Improved Construction of Commutators for Dynamos and Electro- motors.

Improved Construction of Commutators for Dynamos and Electro-
motors.
I, JAMES BURKE, of Oudenarderstrasse 24/25, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Electrician, 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:
It frequently occurs that from some cause or other single segments are forced out
of the periphery of the commutator body of dynamo-electric machines and electric
motors, and that a troublesome wasteful sparking ensues which seriously interferes
with the good working of an electric installation.
By this invention it is impossible for a single commutator bar to rise above the
periphery, and all the bars forming the commutator interlock with each other.
To obtain this result I give the commutator bars an angular or curved cross
section so that each single bar is held in position by the adjacent bars on each
side of it.
The bars thus shaped are put together and insulated from each other in the
usual way and are made to so interlock with each other that they practically form a
solid body and no single bar can possibly slip out of its position.
The accompanying drawings show various ways of carrying out my invention.
Fig. 1 shews à cross section of a commutator made up of angular bars as shewn in
section in Fig. 2: Fig. 3 shows bars of curved section while Fig. 5 shews bars with
a double curvature.
The bars shewn in Fig. 4 are of rectangular section and have interlocking
shoulders at their inner ends. Many other forms of interlocking bars are possible,
which permit of the same result being attained in a greater or less degree.
The advantage to be obtained by the above described construction of commutators
is obvious, as it frequently happens in operating dynamos and motors that through
heating and consequent expansion of the segments one or more of the segments are
forced outwards forming "high bars" and causing wasteful sparking.
Another factor which tends to force the commutator bars from their position
is the centrifugal force which exists to a very high degree in the commutators of
large diameter.
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
The construction of commutators for dynamo electric machines, with bars or
segments so shaped that they interlock with each other so as to prevent them from
becoming displaced, substantially as described.

CHRISTOPHER Lucas, Atlas Lamp Works, 65 to 69, Great King Street, Hockley,
Birmingham, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a simple & efficient means of locking
the lamp on to its plate or attachment on the vehicle.
I use the hook form of fixing on the lamp & make the hook preferably of a strip
of iron or steel by bending the strip in the form of a loop. One side of the hook
or loop is soldered or rivetted to the lamp & this side has an extension
piece formed to meet or nearly so the free end of the hook or loop.
Both the fixed & free ends of the hook or loop are made to extend a little
below the bottom of the lamp and are pierced with holes for taking the shackle
of a lock or other suitable means for locking the hook or loop on to its plate
or attachment on the vehicle.
It is obvious that instead of fixing the hook or loop on the back or side of the
lamp as is usually done it may sometimes be convenient to make the fixing on
the bottom of the lamp.

Improvements in venicie Lamps.
CHRISTOPHER Lucas, Atlas Lamp & Tinplate Works, 69, Great King Street,
Hockley, Birmingham, Lamp & Tinplate 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 object of my invention is to provide a simple & efficient means of locking
the lamp onto its plate or attachment on the vehicle.
I use the hook form of fixing on the lamp & make the hook preferably of a strip
of iron or steel by bending the strip in the form of a loop. One side of the hook
or loop is soldered or rivetted to the lamp & this side has an extension piece
formed to meet or nearly meet the free end of the hook or loop.
Both the fixed & free ends of the hook or loop are made to extend a little
below the bottom of the lamp and are pierced with holes for taking the shackle
of a lock or other suitable means for locking the hook on to its plate or
attachment on the vehicle.
It is obvious, that instead of fixing the hook or loop on the back or side of the

page_text: lamp as is usually done, it may sometimes be convenient to make the fixing on
the bottom of the lamp.
In the accompanying drawing the hook is shown fixed to the side of the lamp,
& it will be seen that both the free end A & the fixed end B are extended below
the bottom of the lamp & have holes in them for the reception of the shackle of a
padlock or other suitable means for locking the two ends of the hook together
after the free end of the hook has been passed over the plate or other attachment
on the vehicle.
Having now particularly described & 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 for locking a lamp on to its plate on a vehicle substantially as
described & illustrated.

LUCY MARY SILVERWOOD, 31, Myddelton Square, E.C., London, 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 is for support and warmth to the wearer when the edges of the
corset back, or bodice front, are not laced or fastened close together.
The improved attachment consists of a straight or shaped piece of elastic fabric
of a width approximately to suit the wearer, and is strongly bound on both sides and
bas eyelets fixed through the bound edges.
Belonging to same attachment are two pieces of binding also furnished with
eyelets, the said pieces being sewn to inside of corset and a little beyond lace holes
of corset.
I will now with the accompanying drawings describe the method of using the
attachment.
Fig. I shows the elastic with eyelets at the edges.
Fig. II the piece of binding furnished with eyelets for sewing into corset, and
Fig. III back of corset (with its own eyelets) showing the eyeleted piece of binding
in position.
Letter A represents my improved attachment of elastic fabric. B the bound
edges. C the eyelets in same edges. C¹ eyelets in strip of binding sewn into corset.
D corset eyelets.
The attachment is adjusted by lacing together eyelets C in Fig. 1 and C¹ in Fig. 3

page_text: The adjustment being made on the inside of corset does not interfere in any way
with the corset lace proper, which can be tightened or loosened and tied in the usual
way.
So that by means of my invention the corset can be opened at back without
exposing the back of the wearer; at the same time the corset lace when properly
laced and tied prevents the adjusted attachment of elastic fabric from stretching
more than is desired.
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 method employed for adjusting the attachment to corsets and bodices as
shown in and described by the accompanying drawings.

page_text: improvements in Tube Scrapers.
1, GEORGES ALPHONSE MOIREAU, of 9bis, Rue Albouy, Paris, in the Republic
of France, 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 improved scraper is principally intended for the scraping of boiler tubes
and for removal of the incrustation which has settled on the inner walls of the
tubes of tubular boilers (system Roser, Belleville, Babcock, Collet or the like).
It allows of progressive action on the walls of the tube to be cleaned without
dismounting or taking out such tube. Whatever be the position of the apparatus
it is sufficient to bring it to the orifice and give it a quarter of a turn in order
that the operation may be completed in the whole inner circumference of the
tube.
All parts are removable, so that in case of accident any of them can be
replaced.
The dimensions are varied according to the type of boiler. The apparatus is
operated by means of a cord or a rod according to the situation and system of the
boiler.
In the annexed drawing, Figs. 1 and 2 are views at right-angles to one another
showing the scraper. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line 3-3.
The apparatus is composed of a core bar A¹ of flat iron perforated at both ends
if the apparatus, as shown at B for one end only, is to be operated by a cord, or
provided with a screw-threaded bar C at one end if it must be operated by a
iod. It also comprises two spring blades fastened on the core bar by two bolts,
one of which A allows of giving more or less resistance to the spring D. Each
spring I carries a shell E made as required by the diameter of the tubes of the
boilers and fastened by a bolt. These shells are provided with an indefinite
number of projecting points 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
1 claim is:-
A tube scraner consisting of a flat core bar A¹ having on its side two

page_text: springs D, D, carrying shells E, E, provided with scraping points F and adapted
to be drawn or moved by a cord attached to holes, such as B, or a rod attached to
a screw-threaded end, such as C.

Improvements in or appertaining to Wire Mails for Jacquard Looms.
I, JOHN ASPINALL GREENWOOD, of 21, Swaine Street, in the City of Bradford,
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or appertaining to wire mails parti-
cularly tinned or soldered wire mails for Jacquard looms, and its object is to
facilitate the attachment of the weights or lingoes directly to the mail,
For this purpose I employ a wire mail having the lower part below the central
eye for the warp sufficiently long to permit it to be directly attached to the weight
and I leave the bottom eye for the attachment of the weight open. Immediately
above the bend for the bottom eye I form a short spiral or helical twist and a
similar twist is formed on the "tag" or turned up end of the mail and the two
twists are of such a relative form that they are readily intertwined to close the
eye after the weight has been attached.

to close the eye 4.
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 mail having an open eye as shown in Figure 1 and twisted portions 2 and 3,
substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bricks, Tiles, Slabs, and the like.
I, JOHN SAUNDERS, of No. 24, Arthur Street, Hove, in the County of Sussex,
Bricklayer, 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 bricks, tiles, slabs and the like
of material that requires no burning.
For this purpose, I grind together sand, gravel, clinkers and the like with
Portland cement and alum in various proportions.
I find a good proportion is, about 16 parts by weight of the sand or like material
to 1 part by weight of cement, and about 10 per cent. of alum. The ground
material is mixed with water enough to make it into a paste fit for moulding,
say 2 to 3 per cent.
This paste is moulded to the desired forms, and these are kept in dry sheds
for about a fortnight after which they can be exposed to the weather, and are fit
for building purposes. When red bricks are required I add to the mixture above
described about equal quantities of Venetian red and red oxide of iron making
up together about the same weight as that of the cement employed.
For yellow bricks the mixture has added to it about the same proportion of
yellow ochre.
-
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:
The manufacture of bricks, tiles slabs and the like substantially as described.
Dated this 13th day of February 1899.
