Improvements in Means for Propelling Air and Water Vehicles.
I, OSCAR ROEPER, of 66 Hallerstrasse, Hamburg in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention is a mechanism for propelling air and water
vehicles. The device is shown in a top view in the accompanying drawing.
The row consists of a preferably thin, elastic plate (a b) of any suitable form
arranged singly or in several numbers on the vehiele to be propelled, and having
either a vertical, horizontal or inclined direction, so that the direction of the
forward movement indicated by an arrow in the annexed drawing, in the middle
position of rest of the plate coincides with the plane of it. By means of human or
motor power with the help of levers, ropes or the like, the plate is caused to
oscillate on the axis (a), being vertically arranged to the above direction of
movement and placed at the front edge of the plate. The oscillations of the plate
from a b' to a 6 and back move the vehicle forward. The elastic row may at the
same time be used for the steering of the vehicle, when arranged at the stern of a
boat instead of the usual rudder.
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 :-
Elastic row for propelling air and water vehicle by means of oscillations, the
plane of which, in the middle position of rest coincides with the direction of
movement of the said vehicle, the said row being also applicable as a rudder.

Improvements in Golf Clubs.
I, ANDREW HERD SCOTT of Earlsferry, Fifeshire, Scotland, 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 relatos to improvements in golf clubs and has for its object an
improved method of attaching the handle or shaft to the head of same whereby
the connection between them may be extremely strong and almost unbreakable, at
the same time possessing other advantages hereinafter stated.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, the shaft, which tapers towards
one end, is formed square or rectangular in cross section at that part and enters
a correspondingly shaped recess in the neck and head of the club, the said shaft
passing right through same to the sule.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1, is a sectional elevation of the club head with the shaft in position,
Fig. 2 being a front view of the club head and neck, showing the slot designed to
receive the end of the shaft.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the end of the shaft and Fig. 4 is a side view of
same.
According to this invention, the shaft a which tapers towards one end bis
rectangular in cross section at that part and designed to enter a correspondingly
shaped recesso which extends through the neck a to the soles of the club head.
8
It will thus be seen that the shaft a extends right through the neck n and head h
down to the sole & of the club where it is rounded off' flush with the heel of same,
and by this means a joint is made that is practically unbreakable, while it also
gives more spring to the head and consequently greater power to the stroke,
thereby enabling a ball to be driven further than with an ordinary club, and owing
to the shaft running into the head it is better balanced than the ordinary club now
in general use and is therefore easier to play with.
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
olaim is :-
1. In a method of securing the shaft to the club head, the formation of a
rectangular tapered end b designed to enter a correspondingly shaped recess c in
the neck and head, the said shaft, when in position, passing completely through the
neck and head down to the soles of same, substantially as herein described and
shown and for the purposes specified.
2. In a club for playing golf or similar game, the improved joint or connection
between the shaft and club head, substantially as herein described and shown and
for the purposes specified.

Improved Rotary Stamping and Printing Press.
I, Wilhelm MÜLLER, partner in the Firm, Muschinen Fabrik Heidelborg, in
Heidelberg, Germany, Manufacturers, 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 improved construction of rotary stamping and
printing press operating with a flat forme, which I will describe with reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side view, Fig. 2 a longitudinal
seation, Fig. 3 a front view and Fig. 4 a cross section.
With the base a of the machine is adjustably connected a platen b, which carries
the type or stamping forme. The base a is carried upon a revolving shaft
running in bearings on the framing o' and e³, and carrying the driving wheel d'.
With this wheel gears a pinion d' on a crank and fly wheel shaft, through which
the machine receives its motion. Laterally above the base is arranged a cylinder f
carried in bearings on the lovers e'and e. These levers are carried on pivots fixed
to the framing, and the cylinder frests with its weight upon the forme and base a
as these rotate. The base a has on each side a toothed ring g' and ' with which
gear toothed rings on the cylinder. When the baso a is rotated by the driving
gear, the cylinder is consequently also rotated, but as the weight of the cylinder
alone would not be sufficient for stamping or printing, there are combined with
the guide levers e²e of the cylinder, rods i¹ and i³ that carry adjustable pressure
rollers &¹.
The pressure rollera and on the rotation of the base a are notuated by
pressing came that rotate with the shaft carrying the base a, and are so formed
as to cause the cylinder to be drawn by means of the rollers k¹ and and their
connecting rods, with the requisite pressure upon the forme as it rotates, so as to
effect the stamping or printing.
The base a is partly surrounded on, its underside by a segmental drum o, on
which is spread the colour required for the stamping or printing, by means of
rollers p', p and p³, which rollers also serve to apply the colour to the forme.
The colour is supplied from the colour trough q through the spring roller r which
transfers the colour to the spreading rollers, where it is still further spread by the
rollers t, r, of which the latter conveys it on to the drum o.
Having now. particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A rotary stamping and printing press wherein the impress on is effected by a
pressure cylinder carried by guide levers and pressed upon the forme by means of
cams acting upon rollers connected by rods to the levers of the cylinder, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Purifying Acetates.
We, ANDREW Ross SCOTT, of Carutyne Chemical Works, Parkhead, in the
County of Glasgow, North Britain, Chemical Manufacturer, and THOMAS
HENDERSON, of 29 Bath Street, in the same county, Chemical Broker, do
bereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
Our said invention has for its object the purifying of acetates in an improved,
expeditious, effectual, and economical manner, and its application is specially
advantageous when the impurities are of a tarry or similar nature as in the
case of acetate of soda the acetic acid of which is derived from the distillation
of wood.
In carrying out our invention we add to a solution of the acetate of soda a
solution of a hypochlorite, preferably hypochlorite of soda; and we boil the
mixed solutions. The effect of the operation is to oxidise or otherwise alter the
impurities so that what remains in the solution becomes precipitated and settles to
the bottom. After cooling and settling the supernatant clear solution may be
decanted, and will yield crystals of the acetate of great purity.

Improvements in Means for Securing Ladies' Hats.
ROSE STANLEY SOUTTER of Church Lane, Kirkcaldy, Artist, 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 improved device for use in securing ladies' hats, and
has for its object to provide a simple arrangement by means of which injury to
the hat may be obviated.
To,
The pins commonly employed to secure ladies' hats are liable to injure them on
passing through the straw or other material from which the hat is made.
overcome this, I propose to fit two small metal plates, one at each side of the hat.
These plates are secured by stitching to the lower edge of the crown of the hat, or
to the rim, and are arranged to project vertically for a short distance below the
rim. Each plate is formed with a series of small holes at short intervals of a
size just sufficient to receive a hat pin. To secure the hat in position the pin is
passed through one plate, thence through the hair, and through one of the holes in
the opposite plate.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hat showing my invention applied, and
Fig. 2 is an elevation of one of the plates secured to the material of the hat.
The plate A is formed with the perforations a at its upper side by means of
which it is stitched to the material of the hat B. The lower portion of each plate
is provided with the perforations a¹ placed close together to receive the pin C
shown in Fig. 1. The hat is thus secured to the head in a simple and effective
manner, the ordinary device being employed for the purpose, without in any way
injuring the hat.
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.) An improved device for use in fastening ladies' hats, consisting of a perforated
plate fitted to each side of the hat and projecting below the rim, and adapted to.
receive the pin substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved device for use in securing ladies' hats, consisting of a
perforated metal plate stitched to the material of the hat, and projecting below
the rim, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and
for the purposes specified.

Improvements relating to Combined Gas and Electric Light
Standards.
I, ROBERT WALTER BRAHAM of 76 St. Agnes Place, Kennington, in the
County of Surrey, Spinning and Brass Finishing 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 combined gas and electric light portable standards and
the like and can also be adapted, in the majority of instances, to gas standards at
present in use.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a view of my improved carrier partly in section.
Figure 2 is a view of a standard complete.
In carrying my invention into practice I make a bow shaped carrier A
(Figure 1) with one or more arms similar to the ones used for electric light
standards, but instead of having the arms solid, I make one of the arms hollow as
shown in Figure 1 B is the connecting tube for screwing into my improved device
so as to allow the gas to pass freely from the standard through my improved
carrier to a gas cock D at the top of the carrier, or the gas cock may be placed in
any other convenient position, it not being essential that it should be placed at
the top.
One of the features of my invention is that the standard can be wired for the
electric light by running the wire up through the central tube, thus obviating any
unnecessary trouble in wiring.
C is an ordinary clamping arrangement for carrying a shade or reflector, of
course any other convenient clamping arrangement may be used, which will allow
of the shade or reflector being easily removed when found necessary as is the case
with the clamp illustrated in the drawing.
A further advantage obtained by my invention is that I can arrange when
necessary to have a swing gas bracket applied to my improved carrier, by simply
unscrewing the ordinary gas cock and screwing thereon a universal bracket as
illustrated at E Figure 2.
I wish it understood that my improvements can also be applied to other forms of
shade carriers without departing from the nature of my invention.
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 :-
First. For an electric light standard, a shade carrier having one or more of
its arms made hollow or tubular to form a thoroughfare for gas, and a gas cock,
or gas bracket, applied to the said carrier, substantially as and for the purpose
specified.
Second. The combination with an electric light standard of a shade carrier
having one or more of its arms hollow or tubular, and a gas cock or gas bracket
mounted on the shade carrier, substantially as described.

of the County of York, Manufacturer of Metal Combs 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 first cut out of sheet metal of a suitable nature strips of suitable widths and
lengths to form a comb.
These strips or lengths of metal are then bent along the side edges into a beviled
or any other fancy design (see Drawings No. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5) which when the process
of manufacture is completed forms the back of the combs (see Figure A).
The strips or lengths of metal are then folded from the centre (see dotted line in
Figure C) thus bringing the two sides close together (see Figure B).
The teeth of the comb are then formed by spaces being cut out of the closed
piece of metal, the narrow strips left by that process forming the teeth of the
comb, or if preferred the spaces may be cut out of the lengths of metal, before
the same is closed up (see Figures B and C.
The teeth may be each formed singly one at a time or any number of teeth may
be made by one process.
The closed lengths of metal are then partially opened out to a suitable extent,
thus forming a double toothed comb as in end sections D. E. F G. H.
The side edges of the bent lengths of metal are then brought together, thus
forming the back of the comb and the edges are soldered or brazed together, thus
making a complete comb, the teeth and backs of which are formed all of one piece
of metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is
1. A double toothed metal hair comb made or formed out of one piece or length
of metal.
2. The manufacture of combs substantially as herein before described and

Improvements in or relating to Sweetmeats
I HENRY ARTHUR BRAGG of 20 Victoria Street, Liverpool in the County
of Lancaster, Produce Merchant, 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 manufacture of sweetmeats, and has for its object
to improve the value of sweetmeats as an article of food by adding thei eto certain
nutritive matter
The matter added is oats in the ordinary form or in the form of oatmeal or
rolled oats flaked To a certain quantity, say one pound of sugar, butter, milk and
honey I usually add about four ounces of oats, preferably in the form of rolled oats
flaked, and I find by experiment that the addition of the substance named will not
only improve the value of the sweetmeat as an article of food, but will also provide
a sweetmeat with a very agreeable flavour The sugar, milk, butter and honey
having been reduced to a pasty condition_v brought to a liquid state are
thoroughly well mixed with the rolled oat, and the 'ormed into cakes or pieces of
suitable size and shape, after which the substance is 'd and used in the same
manner in which sweetmeats are now sold and used
For the purpose of binding the ingredients and producing a suitable glaze,
glucose may be added, and if a speci il colour be requned, I add suitable quantity
of some suitable colouring mattei
I have described one way in which my invention may be carried into effect, but
I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not limit my invention to the use
of sugar, milk butter and honey, as any suitable confection of sugar combined
with oats, oatmeal or the like may be used with or without the addition of other
substance Moreover the amount of oats added may be reduced or increased as
circumstances require The oats employed may be in a granular powdered,
ground or flaked state so as to be easily digestible, and they be used cooked or
uncooked
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declaie that whit
I claim is
-
1 In the manufacture of sweetmeats into cakes or pieces, the combination
therewith of oats, either in gianulu form or reduced to a ground, powdered or
flaked condition substantially as described

Improvements in Rein-holders.
I, ADOLPH LIPSKY, of No. 41 Hohlweg, Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany,
Gentleman, 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 rein-holders and consists of improve-
ments in the construction and combination of the clamping jaw and supporting
frame hereinafter described.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which is to be taken as a part of this
Specification and read therewith,
Figure 1 is an elevation of the improved rein-holder, partly in section, and
Figure 2 is a plan of Figure 1, also partly in section.
In carrying my invention into practice, I provide a suitably shaped supporting
frame a, a, having a pivot brigidly attached to the base plate a' of the said frame
and parallel with its upright part a. The latter is adapted to form the fixed jaw of
the rein-holder. The clamping jaw is provided by a block e. It is rectangular, or
nearly rectangular, in cross section externally, and is bored and mounted eccentri-
A suitable screw-nnt d and
cally on the pivot b, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
washer e secure the said block e in its proper position on the pivot b, i.e., with its
faces parallel with the upright part a above described.
By mounting the block e eccentrically on the pivot b, the rein-holder is adapted
to be used as a reliable clamping device for reins of different thicknesses, according
as the one or the other side of the said block is brought opposite to the fixed jaw a.
From the figures it will be seen that when the clamping jaw c is in the position
shown by the full lines, thicker reins can be placed between the jaws a and c than
when the latter is turned in the opposite position, i.e. with its opposite side facing
the jaw a.
On pulling the reins, one edge of the clamping jawe is turned towards the jawa,
whereby the reins are clamped between the jaws, the hold of the device on the
reins increasing with the pull on the reins.
Besides the reliable clamping of the rein or reins, the peculiar shape of the jaw c
perinits of the rein or reins being grasped readily and placed properly in the
position required; and, further, is adapted to receive reins differing more or less
in thickness.
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 herein described improved rein-holder consisting of a suitable frame formed
by a base plate a' and a fixed jaw a, in combination with a clamping jaw c
eccentrically pivotted on a suitable pivot on the said base plate; whereby,
according to the position of the clamping jaw with respect to the fixed jaw, reins
of different thickness may be clamped; substantially as specified.

Figs. 1 and 2 show two patterns of our new or improved tap, the action in each
case being the same.
The weighted lever handle a having its fulcrum at b is connected to the top of
piston rod c, provided with piston ring d.
e is packing of asbestos, india-rubber, greased hemp, or the like, according to the
purpose for which the tap is to be used.
The cup shaped piston f is fixed on lower end of rod c, and the top edge or part
of this cup or piston fits into groove or recess when the tap is closed.
The body of the tap is preferably circular in shape, the top part being screwed
on at j, and bottom part at k.
To open the tap, the weighted lever a is raised, when piston rod e descends,
carrying piston or cup f out of groove or recess h and allowing the passage of water
steam, air or gas from the inlet or supply pipe to the outlet.
Directly the hand is removed from the lever, it falls, and thereby lifts the piston
rod and brings the cup or piston into the groove or recess, closing the tap.
Leakage is practically impossible with a tap constructed on this principle, and
the greater the pressure of water, steam, air or gas, through the inlet or supply
pipe, the closer the tap will be locked when closed.
In some cases the tap may be screwed at g instead of being worked by weighted
lever.
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.-

I, PAUL ROLEF, of 569 Emsstrasse Warendorf, Westphalia in the Empire of
Germany, Baker, 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 grooved tile of cement or other material, which is
represented in the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1. shows a plan.
Figure 2 is a view from below, and
Figures 3 and 4 are side views, one as seen from the right and the other as seen
from the left.
The improved tile consists of an elongated hexagonal plate in which grooves are
formed partly in front and partly at the rear. The arrangement of these grooves
is as follows; The grooves a and a 1 extend into the tile so as to form a V shaped
recess, the point formed in front by the meeting of the said grooves being blunted
or removed. At the point C where the groove a 1 meets all there are three steps
from the under surface to the upper surface; the groove all of right angle shape
extends as far as the side b. At the point F the front grooves a a 1 a" join the rear
grooves. The grooves 661 extend into the tile so as to form a V shaped
recess and the groove 61 passes into the groove 611 at E; at this point there are
again three steps and the groove forming a right angle extends as far as the
edge D.
At the under surface is provided a hook or projection G for placing the
tile upon the roof lath.
possesses
The connection of the tiles by the grooves a al all and b b 1 b
the advantage that a tight joint will be obtained and that the tiles will not be
liable to be removed by a storm; when simply placing the tiles upon the roof laths
by means of the projection G a small number of roof laths will be required.
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 hexagonal grooved tile of cement or like material characterized by
grooves a al al and 661 61 arranged at its circumference, and partly covered above
and partly below, each two of the said grooves meeting at the lower point b b 1 or
at the upper point a a 1 and forming a V shaped recess in the material.

Improvement in Dynamo Electric Machines.
FREDERICK HENRY ROYCE of Eastbourne, Holland Road, Chorlton-cum-
Hardy, 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 :-
"
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention is in connection with
dynamo electric generators or motors known as of the " enclosed
type and is for
opening and closing a ventilator or door or shutter magnetically the energy from or
connected with the machine providing the necessary magnetism the object being to
render the temperature of the air within the enclosure somewhat similar to that
outside it.
In order to more clearly describe the nature of this my said invention, I attach
hereunto a sheet of drawings on which similar letters in the different views refer to
similar parts.
On reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the door or shutter D is of L shape
and is pivotted above the opening E in the enclosed frame the short arm of the
door or shutter D being an armature actuated by the electro magnet C which is
excited by the same current that passes through the dynamo or motor armature A
by means of the conductors A' and A' and the brushes B and B¹.
It will also be seen that immediately the current ceases to pass through the
armature A and electro magnet C the door or shutter D will fall into its normal
position vertically, thus automatically closing the opening E and cutting off all
communication with the outer air whilst the dynamo or motor is at rest and
automatically opening the door or shutter D when the machine is again started.
On reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the door or shutter C is of L shape
and is pivotted above the opening D in the enclosed frame the short arm of the
door or shutter C being an armature actuated by the field magnets A and B of the
dynamo or motor acting as electro-magnets.
It will also be seen that immediately the current ceases to pass through the field
coils A and B the door or shutter C will fall into its normal position vertically
thus automatically closing the opening E and cutting off all communication with
the outer air whilst the dynamo or motor is at rest and automatically opening the
door or shutter C when the machine is again started.
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-
An enclosed dynamo electric generator or motor having a door opened or closed
by a magnet the energy for which is derived from or connected with the current in
the machine.

We, WALTER POTTS of Wetheral in the County of Cumberland, Iron Plater,
and THOMAS JOHN WATSON of 32 Grainger Street West, Newcastle upon Tyne
in the County of Northumberland, Consulting 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 new or improved ointment, balm or liniment is intended for the treatment
or relief of burns, scalds, ulcers, wounds cuts, open sores, chilblains, frost bites,
piles and similar injuries or complaints and it consists of the following ingredients-
White wine vinegar or malt vinegar or acetic acid, sweet oil or linseed oil, litharge,
burnt alum, and fuller's earth. The proportions of these ingredients are preferably
as follows;-
White wine vinegar
Sweet oil or linseed oil

Fuller's earth
1 gill
1 pint
1 oz.
oz.
oz.
White wine vinegar is preferred, but if malt vinegar or any other vinegar of
sufficient purity or acetic acid more or less diluted is used, an equivalent quantity
of such vinegar or acetic acid according to its strength is used in place of the
white wine vinegar.
A little variation in the different quantities used in the above mixture will not
materially change the character of the resulting compound, we therefore do not
confine ourselves to the exact proportions above given but may vary them so long
as the resulting compound is not materially different in its general nature and
action from the compound which is the result of the proportions given.
In combining the ingredients the litharge is first ground to a very fine powder,
the other ingredients are added thereto and all well mixed together. The mixture
should be made and kept in a cool place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is :-
The ointment, balm or liniment resulting from the mixture of the ingredients
herein named and substantially the same as the result of the mixture of the
proportions above set forth.

Improvements in or connected with Locking Devices for Rifle
Triggers.
1, GEORGE HUGHES, Patent Agent, of 23 Coleman Street, in the County of
London, (a communication from Frit. Behrens, Kurfurstendamm No. 11,
Charlottenburg, in the Empire of Germany, Banker,) 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 this invention is to make a trigger securing arrangement for
rifles and is especially intended for army rifles.
It has the advantage of enabling the marksman to automatically lock or secure
the trigger simultaneously with the operation of loading. Another advantage is
that the unlocking is simply and automatically effected by the mere action of the
marksman putting the rifle to the shoulder and pressing the "neck
of the butt-
፡፡
nose
"
end of the rifle. The accompanying drawing represents a longitudinal section,
through the mechanism of the rifle. The automatic arrangement consists
essentially of two levers c and d situated behind the trigger a in a groove b and
notated by a plate e. The lever has at its fore end a hook e¹ which on the
trigger being secured or locked, projects slightly from the tube of the mechanism
and holds the lock y, to which is used the bolt, by means of the screw-bolt i,
by placing itself against the front surface of the lock, or against a
which may be provided for that purpose. In the drawing the lock y with the bolt h
is kept in the locked position by the nose of the trigger being placed against
nose of the lock g, and also the hook e' of the lever c. When it is required to
unlock the appliance, the plate e is pressed, a movement which will be involun-
tarily done by the rifleman on putting the butt-end to his shoulder preliminary to
tiring. As the plate e is attached by means of a pin m, to the rear end of lever d
(which has its turning point at n) the fore-end of the lever will take an upward
direction, und move with it the rear end of the double lever c. The book cat
the same time makes a downward movement and returns into the tube f, thus
freeing the lock g. As long as the plate is pressed, the rifle is unlocked and can
be fired by pulling the trigger. The spring o which is at the rear end of the
lever e, causes the levers to return into their original position on the pressure
heing removed from e. For the purpose of firing, the two actions, namely, pressing
down the plate e and pulling the trigger have to be done simultaneously.
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 combination of parts operating together and forming the locking or
Securing device for rifle-triggers substantially as described in the above Specification
and exemplified in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in and relating to Conveying Bands and Belts.
We, JOHN RICHARD BARNWELL of 3 Church Street, Traveller, and
N. GREENING & SONS, LIMITED of Crown Street, Wire Manufacturers and
Metal Perforators, both in Warrington in the County of Lancaster, 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 conveying bands or belts made from wire and its object
is to provide a simple and efficient means for securely holding the laths or "blinding
bars" in place.
In carrying this invention into effect the wire links may be formed in the usual
or any suitable manner, with this addition, that some and preferably alternate ones
of the straight pieces of wire connecting the eyes of the link are formed with loops
corrugations bends or the like which exert a pressure against the "blinding bars
and hold them in position.
"
In order that our invention may be more readily understood we have hereto
appended a sheet of drawings reference to which we make hereinafter.
Figures 1 and 2 represent respectively in plan and end elevation part of a link
constructed to embody our improvements.
Figures 3 and 4 similarly illustrate a modified form of link.
Each link consists of a wire A which is coiled to form eyes B and B', by means
of which adjacent links are connected together in the customary manner. Laths
or "blinding bars " C are inserted between the eyes B B' and the straight portions
of wire which connect the eyes together. Some of these straight portions are
furnished with a coil or the like D as shewn in Figures 1 and 2, where each portion
on one side of the "blinding bar" C is coiled. These coils D press against the
bar and hold it firmly in place. We may if desired thread a wire or the like
through the coils D in order to prevent them contracting, owing to the pull or
strain upon the belt, and thus releasing their grip upon the bar.
A modification of the bar gripping device is illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 where
the straight portions of the wire on one side of the bar are bent or corrugated as
at D¹ the bent portion coming against the bar C and acting in a similar way to the
coil D shewn in the previous figures.
If desired fewer of the straight portions may be coiled or bent but the best result
is obtained by the means and in the manner described.
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 what we
claim is :-
1. In a conveying band or belt made of wire, links having some of those portions
of the wire which connect the eyes together coiled bent or corrugated, substantially
as and for the purpose herein before described and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
