Improvements in Cycles.
We, COVENTRY MACHINISTS COMPANY LIMITED of Cheylesmore, Coventry,
Manufacturers, and WILLIAM RADFORD of Stoke Green, near Coventry, 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 the construction of frames for cycles,
whereby an auxiliary column is provided to obviate the danger arising from a
sudden fracture of the steering column.
In machines constructed on the ordinary plans generally used for cycles, and
especially in cycles of the tandem type, it is found that in certain circumstances the
twisting strain thrown upon the steering column is liable to cause a fracture, the
result being that when the rider is going at a good pace he would be violently
thrown and might be seriously injured, the handle bar with the fractured part
of the steering column coming away and becoming detached from the machine.
The inconvenience and danger arising from such an accident are prevented by
the improved frame construction, described in this Specification.
Machines constructed in accordance with this invention are provided with an
auxiliary and reinforcing tube or column A. placed immediately in front of the
ordinary steering socket B. This reinforcing tube is attached at the top by means
of the handle bar clip C. which is extended and so made into a duplex clip,
clamping both the handle bar and the reinforcing tube. At the lower end this
tube is welded on to the head of the fork crown D. or attached to the same in any
convenient way. By this means should the steering column become broken, the
machine may still be steered by the auxiliary tube. The rider would at once
become aware of any fracture and would have time to stop his machine without
fear of being thrown.
In machines with brake attachment, the brake rod E. can be carried through the
reinforcing tube as shewn in the accompanying drawings, while the ordinary lamp
attachment can be placed in front of the same.
Fig. 1. in the accompanying drawings is a front view of the part of cycle frame
made in accordance with the invention, while Fig. 2. is a side view of the same.
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 :-
:-
In cycle frames an auxiliary or reinforcing tube to enable the machine to be
ridden and steered after the steering rod has been broken, substantially as described
and shewn in the accompanying Specification and drawing.

EMILE ANDREOLI, Journalist, 147 Cold Harbour Lane, London S.E. 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 electro deposition of gold, silver, or other precious
metal from their cyanide, or cyanide compounds, or other gold solutions, and to the
further recovery of gold or other precious metal from the plates on which it has
been deposited.
The anodes I use are made of peroxidised lead.
The cathodes are made of iron, steel, or of a suitable metal or alloy which will
stand the temperature of molten lead, or other molten metal or alloy which will
absorb the gold.
The electrodes may be plain or perforated.
The tank is divided by impervious partitions into compartments where a few
anodes and cathodes are placed close one to the other and through which the gold
solution circulates en zig zag, rises, fills up the depositing tank and flows out
through an outlet in the upper end. This mode of circulation secures a constant
contact of the gold solution with the surface of electrodes and an efficient
deposition of the gold or other precious metal on the iron, steel, or other convenient
cathodes. When the coating of gold or other precious metal on the cathodes is
sufficiently thick, each cathode is dipped into molten lead, or other suitable metal,
kept at a temperature too low to allow a layer of oil on the bath to burn, but only
kept boiling. The molten lead absorbs at once the gold.
After a very short dipping (a few minutes) in the molten lead where the gold
alloys with the lead, or other suitable metal, the plate, from which now the gold
has been stripped, is withdrawn, wiped, rubbed, and cleaned, and then can be put
again in the depositing tank, where it will be coated with gold or other precious
metal, and this, again and again, many times before the iron cathodes want
renewing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. The electrodeposition of gold or other precious metal on iron cathodes in
presence of peroxide of lead anodes.
2. The stripping of gold or other precious metal deposited on iron or other
convenient metal cathodes by dipping them into molten lead or other suitable metal
as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in and in connection with Wheel Hubs.
HERMANN NOELTE, of Hallescher Ufer, 21, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 has for its object to construct wheels in such manner that they
can be quickly and easily withdrawn from the axle without the hub coming into
contact with the lubricant on the axle. This for example is necessary in collapsible
perambulators, the wheels of which for transport upstairs or by railway &c. must
be made to quickly draw off and on.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:-
Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the axle and hub. Fig. 2 a plan of
the hub, and Fig. 3 a cross section through the line A-B of Fig. 2.
The lubricating sleeve c is rotatably fitted on the axle a between the two discs s, s
secured in position by means of the pins r r. Over this lubricating sleeve the
hub e is slidden from the end of the axle. A lever n is pivoted on the pin p
supported in standards o, o upon the hub e. At the end of this lever is arranged
the bolt i jointed on the pin 9 and this bolt passes through a hole bored in the
bub and projects into the recess 2 (Fig. 3) of the lubricating sleeve c. A spring
acts on the other end of the lever n to force the bolt i into the recess z. When
placing the hub upon the sleeve e the bolt i is forced into the recess z and the
lubricating sleeve c rotates with the hub e about the axle a. In order to facilitate
m
the entrance of the bolt i into the recess z a ring shaped groove w (Figs. 1 and 3)
is turned in the sleeve c. A slight pressure on the free end of the lever n withdraws
the bolt from the recess and the wheel can then be drawn off over the end of
the axle.
In order to prevent the loss of the end discs and pins r and at the same time
to protect the lubricating sleeve from dust and dirt, a cap u with thread v is screwed
on to a projection of the hub e so as to form a closed end.
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 detachable wheel hub with connectable lubricating sleeve comprising the
spring lever n the jointed connecting bolt i and the lubricating sleeve c provided
with circular groove w and depression z substantially as described.
2. The improvements in and in connection with wheel hubs arranged and
constructed substantially as described with reference to the drawings.

An Improved Heating Chamber for Disinfecting Apparatus.
1, DAVID SJÖSTRÖM, of 9 Vesterlånggatan, Stockholm, in the Kingdom of
Sweden, Notary, 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 the present invention is to arrange the heating-chamber of a
disinfecting apparatus in such a manner that the heat will be evenly and uniformly
distributed throughout the interior of said chamber.
An uniform heating is of great importance in disinfecting apparatus both for the
purpose of effecting a thorough disinfection and as a means of preventing the
destruction or injury of the articles treated, by the application of too intense heat,
but it has not been attained in the heating-chambers heretofore used, owing to
the fact that some portions of the chamber are subjected to greater heat than
others.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is an end elevation of a cylindrical beating-chamber arranged in
accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical, longitudinal section of the same ;
Figure 3 is a vertical cross-section thereof and
Figure 4 is a horizontal, longitudinal section.
The novel feature of my construction consists in providing double walls all
around the chamber, not only at the shell or sides a but also at the ends or
heads, so that steam or other heating agent can be admitted into the spaces
between said walls.
For this purpose, the spaces in the heads b, which also serve as doors through
which access is gained to the interior of the chamber, may be placed in communication
with the space in the shell by means of flexible pipes.
c is a support for the articles to be disinfected, and d are apertures leading to the
interior of the chamber and closed by valves. The heating fluid is admitted
through the pipe e into the space between the two walls of the shell a and the
heads b, and, after completing its passage around the chamber, it exhausts through
the pipe g.
By the arrangement described it is possible to distribute the heat evenly
throughout the chamber, so that no single part of its interior will be more intensely
heated than the others, and as a consequence the articles introduced into the
chamber will be very uniformly heated.
The heating-chamber, may, of course, be made of any shape, though the
cylindrical shape shown is to be preferred.
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 :-
In disinfecting apparatus, a heating-chamber provided all around with double
walls, for the purpose of effecting an uniform distribution of the heat to the
interior of said chainber from the heating fluid introduced into the spaces between
the double walls.

page_text: HENRY JAMES COOPER Jeweller 22 Thavies Inn Holborn Circus, London,
and WILLIAM PEARCE Jeweller 52 Hylton Street Birmingham, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention relates to studs constructed with a stem made out of one piece of
metal.
In consequence of the stem being made hollow and drawn out of a flat piece of
metal the said stem is of much thinner material than the base and in wearing, the
strain imposed by the opposite direction of the button holes in many instances
causes the stem to give way.
The improvement consists in the introduction into the stem of radial ridges
produced by pressing the metal from the base outwards.
These ridges give an additional strength to the stem and effectually resist the
cross strain to which studs are subjected.

An Improved Method of Preventing Corrosion and Incrustation
in Steam Boilers.
JOHN HEPBURN INNES Great Thornton Street Hull 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 :-
I introduce metallic zinc into steam boilers or the like to prevent corrosion, in a
powdered state in order to obtain a much greater surface to the action of the water,
than if the zinc is in the solid or plate form. The zinc powder either alone,
amalgamated with alkali metals or mechanically mixed with alkalies, alkaline
earths or the like, prevents incrustation through the anti-scale-forming properties
which zinc salts possess; the salts of ziuc are formed by the solvent action of
alkalies on the zinc powder inside the aforesaid steam boilers or the like.
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 introduction of metallic zinc in a powdered state either alone,
amalgamated with alkali metals or mechanically mixed with alkalies, alkaline

Fig. 3 & front view or poner and pipes and
Fig. 4 an end view of flue and water pipe.
A is the stokehole or furnace provided with door or cover B and firebars C.
DD are the flues provided with plugs E, F, G, H, for sweeping and cleaning
the flues when required. I is an air-pipe which may be carried round the green-
houses. J. is the return pipe to the boiler, K, L, M, N flow and return pipes,
P feed pipe, Q damper, R support for end of apparatus. In Fig. 4, S are the
webs which support the flues centrally within the pipes.
It will be seen that a boiler having the usual internal arrangement for fire and
nearly surrounded by water has connected with it a range of double pipes, the
internal pipe forming the flue, and having another pipe surrounding it, the annular
space being filled with water or any suitable liquid or substance for giving off heat,
or such space may have only a current of air passing through it, which in its
passage will be warmed by the internal flue. These pipes or ranges of pipes may
be of any length, and may be made in one or more portions, or a number of pipes
may be connected together in a manner to secure the result aimed at.
The ends of the pipes forming the flue may be made with removable parts for
cleaning out or inspecting same, and also provided with damper to regulate the
fire. The outer pipe may, in the same manner, also have a similar arrangement to
control the current of air passing through the annular space when air instead of
liquid is used therein. In the case of water filling the annular space the perfect
circulation of it is insured by its becoming heated by the flues passing through it,
the water returning to the boiler at its lower part by preference.
Although the drawing shews an apparatus made in substantial material such as
wrought and cast iron, nevertheless the general principle underlying the invention
is applicable to apparatus made in lighter material such as sheet. tin, copper, or
other metal, or combination of metals.
I do not confine myself to the precise details, relative proportions or disposition
of parts herein described or exemplified in the drawings as they may be varied in
many ways without departing from the spirit 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 ;
A heating apparatus consisting essentially of a furnace, lamp or other suitable
generator of heat, and a surrounding boiler, the flues from the said generator of
heat being contained within a pipe or tube or pipes or tubes of larger diameter than

Improvements in Metallic Music Sheets or Discs for Mechanical
Musical Instruments.
We FRIEDRICH ERNST MALKE and FRIEDRICH HERMANN OBERLÄNDER,
both of Leipsic-Gohlis, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of our invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The present invention relates to metal note sheets or discs for mechanical
musical instruments aud consists in providing the same with perforations of a novel
kind in order to effect the actuation of such discs.
Hitherto note discs have been provided with round or other shaped perforations
which have been arranged radial to the periphery of the said disc, such discs
possessing the disadvantage that only one tooth of the actuating wheel can enter
the disc at a time, and that this very often fails to enter at the proper moment thus
rendering the playing of the instrument imperfect.
The object of the present invention is to produce a sliding action between the
slots in the disc and the teeth of the driving gear and this object is attained in the
following manner :-
Reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference denote similar parts throughout the several views :-
Fig. 1 being a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of a disc made according to the
present invention and Fig. 3 is a vertical section and Fig. 4 perspective view of
the works.
In the present case the disc A engages the driving gear B by means of a series
of slots C arranged around its periphery but not radially to the same, said slots
being inclined to the said periphery. Such slots may be rounded off at their ends
as shown at C¹ or may be sharp cornered as shown at C. By this means it will be
obvious that a sliding action will take place between the teeth of the driving
gear B and the slots C or C₁ of the note disc A. The main point in connection
with the present arrangement is that at least three of the teeth of the driving gear
will always be in engagement with the corresponding slots of the disc, so that the
next coming teeth will be regularly guided into their respective slots and a slip
cannot occur.
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 circular note disc having the comb operating pins stamped out of the same in
which the perforations of the said disc engaging the driving gear consist of slots
arranged round the periphery or near the same and inclined to the said periphery
in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Hand Stamp for Endorsing Post-marking and the like.
PHILIPP LENTZ Merchant of Berlin N. Linienstrasse 137 in the Kingdom of
Prussia, Germany, 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 handstamps in general use at present particularly at post offices have the
disadvantage that they only give a good impression when they are pressed down
onto the surface to be stamped perfectly parallel to said surface, which rarely takes
place in quick working it is often sought to make up for this deficiency by using
violence in stamping, which is mere waste of power.
The officials employed in the stamping, particularly when there is great pressure
of work, are frequently so exhausted that they have to be otherwise employed and
atrophy of the muscles of the arm and shoulder has resulted in some cases.
To remedy this evil, the subject of the present invention is firstly constructed in
the form of a hammer and secondly it has an elastic buffer between the head of the
stamp and the type die. By means of the hammer form of the stamp the back,
shoulder and arm of the operator are much less strained than usual, as by a light
blow, delivered chiefly from the wrist the weight of the stamp itself suffices to
produce a clear impression and the elastic buffer above mentioned constructed
preferably in the form of hollow cylinder, allows the face of the type die to accommo-
date its surface parallel to the surface to be stamped.
On the annexed drawing the method of carrying out this invention is clearly
shown and
Fig. 1 shows a stamp in the shape of a hammer in which the handle of the hammer
takes the place of the customary stamp handle.
Fig. 2 represents the stamp in section showing the elastic intermediate buffer.
Fig. 3 shows the type holder or die as seen from below.
The stamp head a has attached to its lower part the type wheel box or holder e,
with the type wheels f, which can be adjusted by the pin g.
The hammer handle c is let into the stamp head b, and between a and b is situated
the leastic buffer d, the latter can be made preferably of india-rubber but may
consist of any elastic or flexible material and can be hollow or solid, or in the
form of a spiral spring.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :
A handstamp constructed in the form of a hammer, the head of which contains
an elastic buffer of hollow cylindrical form for the purpose of yielding in such
manner as to cause the die surface to accommodate itself to the surface receiving the
impression.

Vessels or other Bodies.
1, ERNESTO ALBERTO STIERLIN, of 12 Via Fibonacci, Pisa, in the Kingdom
of Italy, Manager of Gas Works, 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 method by which submerged vessels or other bodies
may be raised or floated by means of acetylene gas developed by carburet (carbide)
of calcium (CaC₂).
In the object to be floated or raised from the bottom of the water or
in floating vessels or tanks of the kind usually employed or otherwise constructed,
artificially sunk for the purpose and placed alongside the object to be floated and
secured to same, a suitable charge of carbide of calcium (CaC,) is introduced,
insulated in water and air proof tanks, and in sufficient quantity for producing
the necessary volume of gas for raising the object or the objects to be operated
upon.
=
When the charge has been inserted in its place, a communication may be
effected at pleasure between the surrounding water and the charge of carbide of
calcium, which, combining with the water in accordance with the chemical
formula CaC, + H2O, = C₂H, + CaO, produces CaO lime and C,H2 = acetylene
gas, this latter as it is produced accumulates in the upper part of the floating tank,
expelling through the holes beneath or in its underside the water therein contained,
if it is made of iron or other resistant metal, or inflating it if it is made of elastic
or soft material, and so on until the floating tank is sufficiently lightened to keep
afloat together with the object secured to it.
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 method of raising or floating submerged vessels or other bodies by means of
acetylene gas substantially as hereinbefore described.

Bristol, wife to the aforesaid Frederick Gover Powell, MINNIE ETHEL
WILLWAY POWELL, Artist, and ROSALIE HARRIETT RIDDICK POWELL,
Chemist both of 8 White Ladies Road, Bristol, 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 consists in decolourizing finished or unfinished vinegar by
filtering it through animal charcoal.
According to this invention the vinegar, either after or prior to acetification, is
brought into contact with animal charcoal and is thus deprived of its colour.
The mode in which the vinegar is brought into contact with the animal charcoal
may vary.
According to one mode the vinegar is delivered on to a mass of animal charcoal
and after percolating through is delivered on to a further mass or a series of masses
until decolourized.
Or the decolourisation may be effected at one operation by passing the vinegar
through a sufficient bulk of animal charcoal. The charcoal is arranged in a
suitable vessel or trough.
Other modes of bringing the vinegar into contact with the animal charcoal may
be adopted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we would have it

page_text: understood that we do not confine ourselves to the aforesaid modes of bringing the
vinegar into contact with the animal charcoal, as other modes may be employed,
but what we claim is :-
Decolourizing vinegar either after or before acetification and thus to produce
"white" vinegar, by bringing the same into contact with and causing it to
percolate through animal charcoal.
