I, WALTER FREDERICK JONES, of Albert Works, Hammersmith, in the County
of Middlesex, Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to electromagnetic apparatus and is particularly appli-
cable to electromagnetic clutches and like devices.
The object of my invention is to construct devices of this nature in which a
good magnetic hold between the armature and magnet is secured and also an easy
release of the parts when the current is cut off from the electromagnet.
In order to attain this object according to my invention I make the magnet of
one kind of iron or steel and the armature of another kind of iron or steel and
where such magnet and armature are made of cast metal I preferably make the
magnet of malleable iron and the armature of annealed iron. In short whatever
description of iron or steel is used I make the armature and electromagnet of dis-
similar kinds.
My invention is applicable to all descriptions of magnetic clutches, such for
example as those used for transmitting motion, is also applicable to electro-
magnetic brakes and in general to any kind of electromagnetic apparatus.

Improvements in Furnace Doors.
CHARLES EDWARD MUMFORD, St. Andrew's Works, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk,
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 the method of constructing furnace doors for drying-
kilns or other furnaces.
Such furnace doors usually consist of a cast iron frame-the doors being secured
to it by means of joints or hinges; and the frame is provided with holes to receive
bolts, for the purpose of fastening to the masonry of which the brick furnace or
flue may consist.
1
It has been found that this frame expands, and, being bolted to the masonry,
naturally cracks the masonry of the flue to which it is attached.
To obviate this I do not bolt the frame to the masonry, but secure the frame
to the furnace and maintain it in a vertical position by means of two rebated
strips, which clasp the furnace frame to the wall or flue.
These two strips are bolted to the face of the wall, allowing the frame to freely
expand beneath them; and the bolts securing these strips to the wall being clear
of the furnace frame itself.
Of the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of a furnace door and
frame, showing the strips B and frame A; and Figure 2 shows a section of same.
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:-
Improvements in furnace doors by attaching them to flues by means of rebated
strips as described, leaving freedom for expansion.

An Automatic Shuttle Checking Motion for Power Looms.
ERNEST ROBINSON, 82, New Hey Road, Rastrick, Brighouse, Yorkshire, Power
Loom Tuner (or Tackler), do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
It is composed of a lever worked from the centre, bracketted on to the connect-
ing or crank arm of a power loom, to which is connected a leather strap from
the picking stick.
As the arm works around with the crank, this lever is caught by a pegg with
a pulley on, fastened to the loom side, which causes the lever to draw the picking
stick; then as the crank arm falls the lever again releases itself from this pegg
at the moment the shuttle strikes the picker, thus allowing the picking stick to
fall back again with the shuttle.

of 82, New Hey Road, Rastrick, Power Loom Tuner, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
As per accompanying drawing it is composed of a L lever (A B) bracketed
on to the crank arm (C) which revolves along with the crank. As the crank is
raised the lever (A) is caught by a bush pullied peg (E), then as the crank
descends the lever (A) to which is connected a leather strap (D) is automatically
drawn & released, allowing the strap (D) which is connected to the picking sticks
to fall back again into position along with the shuttle.
The lever a is fastened with a stud B on to the clamp B, this is then taken
and fastened on to the crank arm C as in drawing, then there is the peg E (which
is a fixture) fastened to the loom side on a bracket, provided almost with every
loom.
The action of the checking motion is got by the rising & falling of the crank
arm ; the crank revolves in the dirrection shown by the arrows FF in the circle
drawn as the crank arm e gets to the top of its stroke as shown in drawing,
the Llever A is brought in contact with the peg E, which holds it until the

page_text: crank descends so far in its revolution as to automactically release the lever A
from the peg E, this action giving to the strap D (which is fastened to the lever
at the short arm) a pull or draw of from 3 in. to 6 ins. according to requirements.
It is not necessary to show any further drawing, such as picking sticks, &
shuttles, as the strap D may be connected up in more ways than one.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
1st. The lever (A).
2nd. The bush pullied peg (E).
3rd. The automatic effects on the L lever (A) caused by the lifting & falling

Improvements in and relating to Sailing Boats.
I, GUSTAV ACHTERBERG, of Port Monmouth, New Jersey, in the United States
of America, Boat Builder, 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 sailing boats and its object is to provide means or
devices for reefing the sails in a rapid and efficient manner.
As is well known, reefing is usually performed by means of a number of reef
points, by which the sail is tied up, and the operation is one requiring considerable
time, and is often one of danger and difficulty.
These disadvantages are obviated by the use of my improved devices, which
are hereinafter described and are illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 illustrates a boat furnished with the improved reefing appliances.
Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the jib-boom and the receptacle for the sail.
Figure represents the boom and the receptacle in cross section.
Attached to the boom or equivalent spar is a basket or receptacle d, con-
veniently consisting of a skeleton of galvanised iron pipes or tubes covered with
canvas. The basket is formed in two parts each of which is pivotted or ful-
crummed to the side of the boom in such a manner that they may be moved
away from each other and the basket be opened to permit the passage or movement
of the sail b. The two parts may be held in their closed positions by means
of the stops or locking pins f, or by other suitable means.
The sail is provided with rows of hooks which are adapted to engage
with the top members o of the basket d. When a reef or more has to be taken
in the sail, it is lowered to the desired extent into the receptacle and the nearest
row of hooks is engaged with the members e to prevent the sail spreading itself
until it is released. When more sail is to be set the basket is opened, the hooks
are released and the next desired row is engaged.
By the use of these devices less time is occupied in reefing and greater safety
is obtained.
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:
Devices for use in the furling or reefing of sails, consisting of a basket or
receptacle attached to the boom or other spar and hooks secured to the sail,
constructed and arranged substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.

I, COLEMAN DE KANDÓ, of No. 22, Clotild uteza, Budapest VI, Hungary, 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 follow-
ing statement:—
As is known, the sparking and heating of dynamo machines is dependent upon
cross induction, which is indicated by the distortion of the magnetic field under
the polar extensions. Numerous methods have been proposed for obviating the
detrimental effects of such cross induction, such for example as the increase of
the air space, or the curving upwards of the polar extremities, or the increased
magnetic saturation of the armature projections.
The magnetic saturation of the polar extensions themselves would also tend to
reduce the cross induction.
The present invention relates to a construction wherein this method is utilised,
by reducing in the manner hereinafter described the sectional area of the polar
extensions and thus increasing their magnetic saturation.
As shewn on the accompanying drawings, the polar extensions A A Fig. 1 of the
dynamo machine are formed tapering in thickness, in elevation, and in plan they
are formed with a series of tapering or wedge shaped notches, so as to produce a
series of tapering teeth as shewn at Fig. 1^. Or in place of forming wedge shaped
notches, a number of parallel notches of varying depths may be formed as at
Figure 2.
The reduction of the sectional area of the polar extensions may also be obtained
in other ways, such as by forming a series of holes therein, which are either
gradually increased in size or arranged closer together towards the extremities
of the polar extension, as shewn at Fig. 3.
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:-
For reducing the cross induction in dynamo machines, the use of polar extensions
the sectional area of which is gradually reduced towards the extremities either
by forming tapering notches therein, or by forming parallel notches of varying
depth, or by forming holes therein that are increased in size or placed nearer
together towards the extremities of the poles substantially as described.

I, WILLIAM RICHES, Retired Grocer (and Post Office), formerly of Westminster,
London, at present of no occupation, residing (since March 1897) in weekly
apartments, 2, Rose Hill Gardens, Jarvis-Brook, near Tunbridge Wells, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention consists of improvements in or relating to wheels for velocipedes,
and the like, the object being to so construct and arrange the wheels, such for
instance in the case of a bicycle that the machine will be maintained in an
upright position thereby.
For purposes of illustration, I will now refer to the annexed drawings in which
I shew my invention applied to the wheel of a bicycle.
Figure 1 is a vertical section.
a is a rim, which is shaped as shewn and which carries at its outer edges the
tyres or rubber bands b, c being the spokes for the purpose of communicating
this rim to the hub of the wheel. Although I have shewn this particular form
it will be readily seen that I may vary this according to circumstances as the
object is to enable the machine to stand up itself when required owing to being
supported upon the two surfaces instead of at the centre, and the rider may
mount the machine in this upright position and when required, slow down to a
standing position without the machine falling. The distance between the tyres b
may be varied, as this will depend upon the size of the rim employed.
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:-
1. The wheel for use with velocipedes, substantially as described and illustrated
herein and for the purpose set forth.
2. In wheels for velocipedes, a rim so shaped or formed as to provide two
bearing surfaces which may be provided when required with pneumatic tyres
or rubber bands, substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the
purpose set forth.

Improvements in Means for Lubricating Eccentrics and Cranks.
I, GEORG WOERTGE, Workmaster, resident of Vercelli, Kingdom of Italy, 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 method hitherto in use for lubricating eccentrics and cranks suffers from
the drawback that the lubricator is not sufficiently protected from dust, thereby
causing the oil quickly to turn into resin. The oil drops from the bearings and is
lost.
I intend to place the lubricator in a casing A and to put in scrapers c, which
guide the oil, reaching the shaft owing to the rotation of the ring C into a
groove a made in the upper bearing brass D of the piston-head F, thereby causing
a copious lubrication of the eccentric crank W.
The grooves d serve to gather the excess of oil.
The cover B protects the casing from dust and the room G is provided for
exhausting the residues of oil.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal,-Fig. 2 a cross-section,
& Fig. 3 an upper view of the appliance, the cover being taken off.
The invention is for lubricating both eccentrics and cranks.
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:-
Improvements in means for lubricating eccentrics and cranks distinguished
by the arrangement of a casing A and its cover B, the latter being provided with
scrapers which guide the oil, reaching the shaft, owing to the rotation of the
ing C, into the groove a of the upper bearing of the piston-head, thereby causing
a copious lubrication of the eccentric crank.

Puncture Proof Bands for the Pneumatic Tyres of Cycles.
CHARLES HENRY SPRATT, 23, Loughborough Park, London, S.W., Auctioneer's
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The invention consists of a band of specially prepared and toughened leather,
placed longitudinally round the periphery of the wheel and attached to the under
side of the outer cover either by solution, stitches, rivets or any other means,
and if not attached simply held in position by the inflation of the air tube.
These bands are cut from the best bark tanned English or Colonial (preferably
Queensland) bullock hides, selected for their special adaptability to the purpose.
They are reduced by machine on the flesh side to one uniform thickness of from
one eighth to three sixteenth of an inch by which means the best part of the
leather is secured. They are then toughened by rolling, and after being bevelled
on the edges are damped in order to mould them to the contour of the air tube,
after which they are treated to a dressing of French chalk to render them more
pliable and yielding.
This peculiar treatment gives the leather a remarkable resisting power without
affecting its pliability or resilience.
The bands are attached to the inner side of the rubber outer cover in the loosest
possible manner in order to give them a freedom. of play, so that should a nail,
Hint, piece of glass or any other sharp material puncture the rubber outer cover
a resistance is offered by the leather which becomes only indented and forms a
complete protection to the air tube.
The accompanying drawing represents an enlarged, part section of an ordinary
pneumatic tyre and shews the rubber outer cover A the inner canvas cover B
and the leather puncture proof band C. It also shews the air tube D) which when
inflated holds the band in position.
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 puncture proof band for all descriptions of pneumatic tyres, consisting of
a continuous band of leather C specially prepared as described and loosely attached
to the inner side of the rubber outer cover A by solution, stitches, rivets or any
other means (or it may be left unatached if desired) thus securing an effectual
protection to the air tubes without affecting the resilience of the tyre, or causing
it (technically speaking) to become slow.

I, JAMES ALEXANDER, Sole Partner of the Firm of J. Buchanan & Coy., 123 to
145, North Street, in the County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain, Coach-
builders, 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 the tyres of wheels of all classes of
vehicles and consists of constructing them of a combination of different rubbers,
the inner portion being of the most easy and elastic nature, while the outside
casing is of the best wear-resisting rubber. These rubbers are so incorporated
in the manufacture that they cannot possibly become detached and retain all the
advantages of a pneumatic tyre being equal in resiliency without any fear of
puncture.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect, I have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings of which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view partly in section of part of tyre of vehicle shew-
ing my improvements.
Figure 2 is a transverse section of tyre.
A is the rim of the wheel and B the inner part or core of the tyre, which is of
a very easy and elastic nature, while C is the outside portion, which is not of such
an elastic nature but is of the best wear-resisting rubber. The two rubbers are
so united in their manufacture as to become one homogeneous mass.
The tyre
is simply forced into the rim A and is held in position by the turned over
edges D.
By my improvements it will be obvious that the whole strength of the tyre is
retained and can be used till worn down to the metal rim.
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 the tyres of all classes of vehicles, constructing these of a combination of
rubbers, the inner portion being of the most easy and elastic nature while the
outside casing is of the best wear-resisting material and being so incorporated in
their manufacture as to become one homogeneous mass, substantially as and for

I, EDWIN BROWNING, Engineer, 2, Monson Terrace, St. Margarets Road,
Cheltenham, in the County of Gloucester, 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. -
In applying this apparatus to a steam boiler I take a steam connection from
the most convenient part of the said boiler or the nearest convenient steam pipe.
I continue this connection across the front of furnace & from this connection
I take a number of steam jets or pipes screwed or otherwise fixed in & which
are directed into the furnace through the front of same thereby causing an
increased combustion of gases and diminution of smoke
The holes in furnace front through which the jet or pipes pass I make larger
in diameter than the outside of jets so that air is drawn in by the suction caused
by the action of the steam & by the draught of the hot gases & thereby increases
the combustion.
The inner ends of jets I prefer to make with a long narrow orifice so as to
spread the steam over the pipe & especially over the bridge at back of furnace
I provide a drain pipe for running off the condensed water when first starting
the apparatus.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal section through
a steam boiler furnace Fig 2 front elevation of same. Fig. 3 an enlarged view
of one of the steam jets.
The letters on drawing refer to the different parts of the apparatus viz:—a.

page_text: the main steam pipe. b. steam pipe in front of furnace.
d, furnace. e, bridge at back of furnace. f,drain pipe
in furnace front.
c, steam jets or pipes.
9, opening round jet
The drawings only show the apparatus as applied to a steam boiler furnace but
it must be understood that I do not confine myself to boiler furnaces only, but
can apply the apparatus to brewing coppers & other furnaces where a supply of
steam can be obtained to feed the apparatus.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1 The combination of a steam jet or jets with a boiler or other furnace sub-
stantially in the manner & for the purpose set forth
2. An annular space round jets and in furnace front for the purpose set
forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Double Spiral Spring Regulating Fishing Winch or Reel.
LAMBERT WILLIAM SCOTFORD, Pittville Gates, Cheltenham, Fishing Rod and
Tackle Manufacturer, ALEXANDER CRUICKSHANKS, Kilronan Castle, Keadue, Car-
rick-on-Shannon, Gamekeeper, 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 reel or winch is made of wood or metal or other suitable material.
Upon the spindle is placed a spiral spring A, and the drum E is then placed
on the spindle. A second spring B is placed on the spindle, then a collar C, and
lastly a thumbscrew D. When the thumbscrew D) is screwed down it
presses the
spring B, and this pressure together with the resistance offered by spring A acts
as a brake or regulating check on the drum E. The drum E is so made that the
screw D when in position comes below the face of E, so that nothing projects to
catch the angler's line.
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. By means of the springs and thumbscrew the reel can
regulated to any desired extent.
be checked or
2. That by relasing the springs the reel can be used as a brakeless reel.

WILHELM CHRISTIAN JOHANN ROHWEDELL, both of 13; Dankwartsstrasse,
Wismar, in the Empire of Germany, Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is an envelope for letter paper which is provided
with an accessory or appendage whereby the closed or sealed envelope may be
readily cut open, without injuring the contents thereof, as occurs so frequently
with ordinary envelopes usually cut open by means of a paper knife; this
accessory being utilized for the purpose of advertising by making it of a con-
venient form and providing it with printed matter of suitable description.
One form of our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in
which Fig. 1 is a view of our improved envelope closed and provided with its
appendage, or cutter.
Fig. 2 is a view of a half opened envelope from which the appendage is partly
withdrawn, and Fig. 3 is a view of the appendage, or cutting or ripping device.
As clearly shown in the drawings, the essential feature of the subject matter
of this application consists in providing the envelope a with a circular notch b
and placing therein a flat appendage or paper cutter e the point of which termi-
nates inside this notch b so as to be accessible when the envelope a is closed.
The form and shape of this appendage or cutting device c may vary, for instance
it may be cuneiform bell-shaped, spatulate or the like, in order to cut as sharply
as possible so as to readily divide the upper edge of the envelope. For this
purpose instead of using a plate as shown, we may use a frame of similar shape
wherein could be inserted a ground plate or strip of paper or of other suitable
material covered with the printed matter required as an advertisement. The
handling or manipulation of this envelope is effected in the following manner:-
The appendage or paper cutting device is inserted in the envelope whatever
may be its shape and its flap is gummed down in the ordinary way. To open
the envelope the cutter c is seized by the fingers at its pointed and protruding
edge or end and pulled outwardly so as to rip the top edge of the closing flap
and allow of the contents of the envelope being withdrawn.
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 :-
An envelope for letter paper characterized by a circular notch 6 formed at its

page_text: upper edge and a paper cutter or appendage introduced in the same and the
pointed edge of which protrudes out of such notch to enable the said projecting
appendage being withdrawn in order to rip the envelope open.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Harness Shaft Tugs.
HENRY SIMPSON and CHARLES SIMPSON, both of 29, High West Street, Gateshead
on Tyne, Durham, Locksmiths, 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 harness shaft tug is invented for the safety and convenience of yoking
restless and kicking horses. It is made of iron, brass, or any other suitable metals,
Fig. 1 showing the tug open, Fig. 2 below showing tug closed on the shaft. You
will observe the back band, and how the tug is fastened to the same.
The improved harness shaft tug is invented for safety, durability, cheapness,
simplicity, and from twelve months testing is a great improvement. It is
immaterial what weight there may be on the tug as to the working of the top
jaw. There is no backing of the animal required, as there is with the tugs now
in present use. This is a great advantage for it is very often a dangerous job
backing a restless animal into the shafts of a conveyance, and as a rule it takes
more than one to do so. We dispense with all this trouble and risk, put the
harnessed animal under the shafts of the cart, open the top jaw of the tug, bring
down the shafts into the tug, and then close the jaw and fasten it.
No more
trouble required regarding this tug.
