page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY KANZON BOWLEY, of 112, Queen Victoria Street, in the City
of London, 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 coupling for connecting from carriage to carriage
flexible pipes such as are employed for conducting compressed or rarefied air,
steam, water or other fluid for braking, heating or other purpose, the object which
I have in view being to effect the coupling without any twisting or undue bending
of the pipes as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation shewing the two pipes coupled, and in section a valve
applicable in the case of steam pipes for discharge of water of condensation.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a part longitudinal section of the coupling, and Fig. 4 is an elevation
of one of the sleeves and its handle. A A are the end parts of the pipes to be coupled
these being usually covered with caoutchouc tube. Into each end is screwed a
nipple B having a collar C behind which is a spring D consisting of a circular
piece of wire bent into undulations. On each nipple is fitted to turn a sleeve E
having a handle H and at each side a recess e tapered at the mouth and adapted
to receive a stud F.projecting from the other sleeve.
Each nipple B has in its face a recess containing a ring G of soft metal. When
the faces of the two nipples B are brought together the sleeves E being in such
relative positions that the studs F of the one are out of the recesses e of the other,
then on turning both sleeves by pushing towards each other the handles H, both
the studs of each sleeve become engaged in the recesses e of the other sleeve, and
owing to the taper form of these recesses the two faces G of the nipples are drawn
forcibly together making a tight joint.
At e¹ the side of each recess e has a little prominence which the yield of the
springs allows the stud F to pass when the handles H are forcibly pushed
together, and the stud being then engaged in the end part 2 of the recess, the two
parts of the coupling are locked together so that they cannot be accidentally
separated but can only be separated by forcibly pulling the handles H apart.
When the coupling is used for connecting steam pipes on a train, each part is
made with a valve box T containing a ball valve V.
When there is pressure in the pipe the ball is forced upwards and seats itself
on the mouth v closing the outlet, but when there is no longer pressure in the pipe,
the ball drops and allows water of condensation to escape.

page_text: 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:
A coupling for train pipes constructed and operating substantially as described
with reference to the drawings.

Improved Fingers for Harvesting, and similar Machines.
We, GEORGE ALFred Garfitt, Machine Knife Manufacturer, and CHARLES GARFITT
Machine Knife Manufacturer, both of Cross Scythes Works, Sheffield, and
STEPHEN BURROWES, of New Street, Malton, Agricultural Machinist, all in the
County of Yorkshire, 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 an improvement in the fingers which project forward in
front of the knife bars in harvesting and similar machines. These fingers serve the
purpose of separating the stalks of corn or the like, and forming it into small sheaves,
before they reach the knife of the machine. Hitherto the fingers have been mounted
separately on what is called a finger bar, and it has been found, that by this method,
it is difficult to secure the fingers firmly, so as to prevent them slipping sideways or
upwards, and thereby injuring the machine.
In this invention it is proposed to form two or more fingers integrally with a bar,
which is in its turn mounted upon the ordinary finger bar as hitherto used.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we append drawings, in
which,
Fig. 1 shews a front elevation of one finger.
Fig. 2 shews a front elevation of two fingers formed integrally the one with the
other.
Fig. 3 shews a side elevation.
A are the fingers, formed integrally with the bar B. Care bolt holes formed in a
back plate c formed integrally with each of the fingers A, the bolts which pass through
same serving to attach the bar B and the fingers to the usual finger bar. E is a
bearing strip on the bar B to engage one edge of the usual finger bar.
The double bearing thus afforded to the fingers and bar B, will be very firm and
rigid, and quite free from any slip, or likelihood of working loose.
It will be seen that by this method of fitting up the fingers, less work is caused,
and a consequent saving of time effected.
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. In harvesting and similar machines, the formation of two or more finger.
integrally with a bar, the whole fitting on the usual finger bar, substantially as
described and shewn.
2. In combination with harvesting and similar machines, the bar B formed
integrally with two or more fingers A and provided with a bearing surface to engage
the edge of an ordinary finger bar, and means for bolting the bar B thereto, whereby
a rigid bearing for the fingers is obtained, substantially as described and shewn.

An Improvement in Knitted or Woven Goods having a Curled,
Woolly, Ribbed, Folded, or otherwise Rough or Irregular
Surface.
I, GEORG KOCH, of 8, Klingenstrasse, Erfurt, in the German Empire, Manu-
facturer, 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 an improvement in knitted or woven goods having a
curled, woolly, ribbed, folded or otherwise rough or irregular surface, and consists
in forming a part of such goods with a plain or smooth surface for a purpose here-
inafter described.
In goods of the kind above referred to, as usually made, it is not possible to
apply to the rough or irregular surface thereof marks, letters, numbers or the like
in such manner as to make them quite clear and legible, because they appear dis-
torted and blurred by the roughnesses and irregularities of the surface to which
they are applied.
The object of the present invention is to obviate this inconvenience, and for this
purpose I employ the means shown in the accompanying drawing, as applied by
way of example to a stocking or sock a. This means consists in forming in the
rough or irregular surface of the goods a part 6 which is plain or smooth, and is
noi subject to be distorted, and which is therefore better adapted to receive the
mark, letter, number or the like than the other rough or irregular part of the
goods. This plain or smooth part or surface is produced by stopping the knitting
or weaving of the rough or irregular part at the desired point, and knitting or
weaving a plain or smooth part instead thereof.
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 improvement in knitted or woven goods having a curled, woolly, ribbed,
folded, or otherwise rough or irregular surface, which consists in making such
goods in such manner as to offer a plain or smooth surface at the part thereof
where marks, letters, numbers, or the like are to be applied, substantially as
described.

Improved Cycle Lamp with Revoluble Chimney.
I ERNST ARTHUR RICHTER of 81c Annaberger Strasse Bärenstein 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 :—
My invention relates to a cycle lamp with a adjustable chimney.
The accompanying drawing illustrates a construction of my cycle lamp with
revoluble chimney, the parts constituting the novelty of the construction being
represented in section.
In the chimney outlet A is placed upon the cross piece a with groove the spindle B.
The bearing b serves to guide the same. This spindle supports above the angular
chimney Cand is prolonged above this into a staff bearing a flag D. When the cycle
is ridden the pressure of the air causes always a turning of the flag in a direction
corresponding to that of the wind and consequently revolves the orifice d of the
chimney into such a position that the wind can never blow into the lamp and
extinguish the same or cause it to smoke.
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 cycle lamp with revoluble chimney characterised by the provision
in the chimney outlet A supported by the bearings a b of a spindle B, which spindle
supports above the angular revolving chimney C and is provided above the same with
a flag 1 which flag is caused to revolve by the draught caused by the speed of the
cycle in such a manner that the exit aperture is invariably turned away from the
direction of the wind.

Improvements in Claw Bars.
I, JOHN LINDGREN, Railway Section Foreman, of Porters Mills, in the County
of Eauclaire, and State of Wisconsin, 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 has relation to claw bars for withdrawing railroad spikes from
ties and the like, and the object is to provide a simple, durable and effective
device of this kind. To this end the novelty consists in the construction, combin-
ation and arrangement of the same as will be hereinafter more fully described and
particularly pointed out in the claim :-
In the accompanying drawing the same referenze numerals indicate the same
parts of the invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved claw bar; and
Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same applied to a spike.
1 represents the ordinary claw bar, and it is provided with a transverse bolt 2.
3-3 represent connecting links, the upper ends of which are formed with eyes 4,
by means of which said links are swiveled on the outer ends of the bolt 2, on each
side of the bar 1.
The lower ends of these links 3-3 are formed with eyes 5--5, which receive
the curved arms 6--6 of the grip-vise 7. 8-8 represent the jaws of the said vise,
hinged together by the pivot bolt 9.
The lower ends of said jaws 8-8 terminate in parallel grip teeth 10-10, which
engage the opposite sides of the spike, and when an upward pressure is applied to
the bar in the act of drawing the spike, the force exerted on the arms 6-6 presses
the teeth 10-10 into the spike with a vise-like grip, and prevents the possibility
of the jaws slipping while the spike is being withdrawn.
Although I have specifically described the construction and relative arrange-
ment of the several elements of my invention, I do not desire to be confined to
the same, as such changes or modifications may be made as clearly fall within the
scope of my invention, without departing from the spirit thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The bar 1 provided with the transverse bolt 2, the links 3-3 swiveled thereto,
in combination with the grip-vise 7, the curved arms 6-6 of which engage the
orifices or eyes in the lower ends of said links, substantially as shown and described.

We, GOTTHOLD SOMMER, Merchant, OSKAR KIRCHHOF, Inventor and. FRITZ
SCHMIDT, Merchant all of Lutherstrasse Leipzig-Lindenau, Germany, 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:
The object of the present invention is a direct driving gear for chainless cycles.
In the annexed drawing:
Fig. 1 shows this driving-gear as applied to a cycle;
Fig. 2 shows the same in elevation and in geared position
Fig. 3 is a transverse section of it &
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of the same.
The driving-gear is essentially composed of the cranks b forming a body with
the motive rings a solidly joined together, of the small rollers & with pins and
of the driving-gear g with teeth e wedged to the axle f of the back wheel.
The annular surface comprised between the crank band the motive ring a
serves for eventually receiving a band brake.
The driving gear, as will be seen in the drawing is arranged doubly and is
placed to the right and left of the back wheel.
This driving-gear works in the following way:
By working the cranks that is to say, at the rotation of the excentric rings
arranged at each side of the back wheel and forming a body with the cranks,
consequently, at the rotation of the whole machine, the rollers of the motive rings
by gearing with the driving-gear, turn freely around their axles or pins and thus
produce an easy and soft working between the motive rollers and the teeth of the
driving-gears.
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:-
A direct driving-gear for chainless cycles, distinguished by cranks arranged to
the right and left of the back wheel, each crank forming a body with a motive
ring provided with rollers which turn freely around their axles or pins and gear
with a pinion wedged to the axle of the back wheel, the annular surface between
the crank and the motive ring supporting the rollers serves to eventually bear a
band brake, substantially as set forth.

A Combined Oil Can and Lamp.
I, WILLIAM WIGFIELD of 2B Coats Street, Coatbridge Lanarkshire N.B. Aerated
Water 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 a combined oil can and lamp.
In carrying out my invention I employ an oil can of conical or other suitable
shape within which, at any convenient distance from the bottom I place a division
or second bottom thus dividing the lamp into two compartments or chambers, an
upper and a lower.
The said upper chamber which contains the burning oil, is provided at the top in
the usual manner of a lamp with a burner and if desired a bell shaped shield to
protect the soldered parts from the flame; the said burner being screwed or other-.
wise secured.
The lower chamber contains the lubricating oil and is provided with a spout in
the usual way. A short tube, provided at the top with a screwed or other cap,
is fitted to the side of the lower chamber for the purpose of filling it.
The whole is provided with a handle in the usual way for carrying purposes.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of my combined oil can and
lamp, A being the burner and B the guard of the lamp. C is the tube or spout for
filling the lower compartment.
It will thus be seen that the combined oil can and lamp is very simple and
inexpensive in construction and of great utility in that much time and trouble is
saved, as machinery, which is badly lighted and in positions not easily got at,
can be more efficiently and easily oiled than when a separate lamp and oil can
are employed, the one hand being always left free.
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 combined oil can and lamp constructed in the manner as and for the purpose
herein before described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

ALFRED WILLIAM GERRARD, 35, Queen's Road, Wimbledon, Surrey, Analytical
Chemist, late of Guildford Street, Chertsey, 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 suppository or pessary is enveloped in a plain or waxed or coated fabric
or material.
After envelopement the suppository or pessary may be immersed in or painted
or coated with a varnishing or coating substance, especially such substances as
paraffin wax, bees, vegetable and other waxes. Or the varnishing or coating
substance may consist of solutions of resins, gums, gelatine, or starch.
The method of applying the invention is to envelope the suppository or pessary
with either plain or coated fabrics or materials, such as paper, cotton, linen,
wool, silk, tin and other foils. After envelopement the suppository or pessary
is painted with, or immersed in, the coating substance, in such a manner as to
receive a coating which hermetically seals and protects the suppository or pessary
from atmospheric changes and mechanical injury. The varnishing or coating
material may be charged with antiseptics, so as to assist in the preservation of
the suppository or pessary.

I, WILLIAM CRAMPIN, of 14 and 15, Giltspur Street, Holborn Viaduct, in the
City and County of London, Cycle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved stand for supporting rear-driving and
other bicycles when not in use, and it consists essentially of a pair of double ✓ or
U-shaped frames each made out of a single length of rod or bar. These two
frames are pivotted together at their apices by means of a cross bar which is
preferably curved at or about the centre of its length.
In use the driving wheel is placed in the stand so that the weight of the wheel
rests on the cross bar which thereby becomes depressed causing the upper ends of
the top parts of the frames to come together until they grip the tyre of the wheel
thus giving a grip to the wheel at three points.

I, JAMES COLES, of 44, Zetland Road, Bristol, 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 a simple appliance for holding cuffs or loose wristbands.
in their desired position in the sleeves of coats or ladies' dresses, to prevent them
from coming down over the knuckles when the arm is held down, or from sliding.
up the sleeve when the arm is extended the invention consists in providing a piece
of thin metal or other suitable material, with one or a series of holes punched
therein to fit over the shank of a solitaire stud, smaller holes being made in one end,.
through which the plate can be sewn in a suitable position in the inside of the sleeve
of a coat or dress.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying sheet
of drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows a holder with a series of round holes to fit over
the shank of a solitaire stud after it has been put through the button holes of the
cuff; the shank of the stud is put through either of the holes in the plate, and the
top attached by the usual spring to the shank, which secures the cuff firmly to
the plate, and the plate being sewn to the sleeve, the cuff is held in a uniform
position: Fig. 2 shows a similar plate with larger holes and with slots, so that
where links are used, a common collar stud may be inserted in the upper hole of
the cuff, and the plate passed over it, the shank falling into the slot is held thereby,
retaining the cuff in its desired position.
The plate may be of any suitable metal or metals or other material of the
required texture and flexibility to bear the strain of manufacture and wear.
The
end of the plate is slightly coiled to prevent the keen edge of the metal cutting
the wearer's hand when attaching the cuff, and the series of holes is provided, so
that the cuff may be adjusted to the sleeve, either to show a considerable portion.
or to conceal it within the sleeve.
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 manufacture of an adjustable cuff' holder for retaining loose wristbands or
cuffs in their desired position within a coat or dress sleeves, substantially as and
for the purpose herein described and shewn.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Pneumatic Tyres.
I, THOMAS ALFRED COMPERE, of 82, Darnley Road, Gravesend, Kent,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to performed to be particularly described in and by the following
statement:-
Hitherto pneumatic tyres have usually been rendered puncture proof by the
interposition of some separate and detachable puncture resisting device, such as bands
composed of overlapping segmental plates, between the air tube and the cover.
This arrangement has many objections, it complicates the tyre and where the device
is composed of metal it is liable to injure the air tube.
My invention is designed to produce a puncture proof pneumatic tyre having no
more separate parts than an ordinary non-puncture proof tyre and so constructed
and arranged that it cannot injured by the puncture resisting devices.
This I effect by embedding within the rubber of the ordinary tyre cover itself
during the process of manufacture, so as to protect the tread thereof, plates or
segments of aluminium or other metal or impenetrable material. Or a continuous
band of metal or impenetrable material extending completely round the tread of
the cover may be embedded in the latter.
"
In the case of single tube or ❝ tubeless tyres, such as the "Fleuss"
tyre for
example, the impenetrable band, or plates or segments, would be embedded in the
rubber thereof around the tread.
For the purpose of my invention the tyre cover or tyre may comprise two layers
of rubber suitably united together after the impenetrable band or plates or
segments has or have been placed between them.
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. A pneumatic tyre cover having a band or plates or segments of impenetrable
material embedded therein around the tread thereof during the process of
manufacture, substantially as described.
2. A tubeless or single tube tyre having a band or plates or segments of
impenetrable material embedded therein during the process of manufacture so as
to protect the tread thereof, substantially as described.

A. Process for the Production of Oil from Peat.
Year: 1897

page_text: Date of Application, 12th Apr., 1897-Accepted, 5th June, 1897
A. Process for the Production of Oil from Peat.
I, Mrs. Dr. FANNY RAPP-ROSENTHAL, of 104 Friedrichstrasse, Berlin, in the-
Empire of Germany, Physician, 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 process has for its object the production of an oil which when rubbed into-
the skin does not remain on the surface so as to stop up the pores, and hinder the
respiration through the pores of the skin, but is easily absorbed and assimilated
by the skin and animates the respiration thereof. It therefore constitutes an
effective remedy against rheumatism.
The oil is produced by boiling peat, such as that obtained at the estuary
near Odessa, for about an hour, then pressing it in bags; the resulting liquid is
allowed to stand until an oil separates therefrom which oil is then drawn off
from the extract. The oil thus produced contains fatty particles and salts and
can be effectively used as an embrocation in the remedy of rheumatic pains and.
disorders.
The peat can only be utilised at the place itself where it occurs; on being-
transported it dries and becomes ineffective even if it be employed in the same
manner as at the place of its occurrence. By the present process, however,.
it is possible to isolate or separate from this dry peat its active principle in the
form of an oil which can be preserved and transported for any desired length of
time.
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 process for the production of an oil from peat, said process consisting in
boiling the peat with an addition of water if required, separation being effected
by pressure which results in the exudation of a liquid from which the desired oil
is extracted substantially as herein before described.
