similar Articles.
JOSEPH NEEDHAM 6, Hammersmith Terrace, Hammersmith, London, W. Gun-
smith 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 Boots, or Shoes, are made in the ordinary way, except I put a stud or studs, a,
at a suitable distance from the eyelets, b. Instead of tieing, the lace is drawn over
the studs on opposite sides, which closes the boot or shoe, as in Fig. 2. The tongue
is made with two slots, the lace passing through, as shewn in Fig. 1. holds it in
position. To unfasten the lace is merely lifted off the studs, also eyelets may be used,
instead of studs, with hooks c, attached to the lace, which are drawn over and hooked
in the said eyelets. Instead of the studs a, hooks, d, can be used, and links e, attached
to the lace, instead of the mere loop.
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:
1st. The Closing and Fastening of Boots, Shoes, Gloves, and other similar articles,
as shown.
2nd. The Hooks, Studs, Links as shewn.
and Cuffs while in Wear, such as During Business Hours.

I WILLIAM JOHN TANNER of 15 Bury Street St. James's in the County of Middlesex
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 :-
In order to make curtain rings run easily upon their rods or poles it is not always
necessary to make the rollers wheels or the like attached to the inside of curtain rings
turn in various directions as described in my patent dated the 19th of February 1886
and numbered 2428. When the rollers wheels or the like attached to the inside of
rings occupy or nearly occupy the space between the ring and the curtain pole in a
straight line between the ring and the pole I attach the axle on which the roller turns
to the inside of the curtain ring by any simple method at each end and it may be so
arranged that the axle or roller or both are made to revolve. In order to allow as large
a roller wheel or the like as possible to be used I cut away a part of the inside of the
curtain ring so that the roller wheel or the like may partially revolve where the part
is cut away.
I find in some cases it is advisable to have the roller wheel or the like made with
a rough surface in order to allow it to bite upon the pole and prevent it sliding along it.
I sometimes arrange so that one or more of the rollers &c. may move in to and out
from the ring towards the pole by means of springs and on which or to which the
axle of the roller &c. rests or is attached. With this spring the rollers &c. attached to
the ring will be kept in contact with the pole.
My meaning will be seen by the following description of the drawing.
A. A. A. is the Curtain Ring.
B is the Curtain Pole or Rod.
C. C. C. shew the rollers attached.
D D the parts cut away to allow a larger roller to be used between the curtain ring
and the pole.
E. E. shew the springs of metal india rubber or other suitable material which press
against the axle and thereby the roller against the pole.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is-
1. Rollers Wheels or the like attached to the inside of Curtain Rings substantially
as described and for the purpose set forth.
2. Rollers Wheels or the like attached to the inside of Curtain Rings having spaces
cut out in which the roller &c. partially revolves substantially as described and for the
purpose set forth.
3. Rollers Wheels or the like attached to the inside of curtain Rings and having
springs pressing on the axle of the rollers &c. substantially as described and for the

page_text: We, WILHELM PLÖGER and ALEXANDER PLÖGER, both of Hanover in the Empire
of Germany Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of packing material, composed of several
substances, and has for its object to manufacture a description of material possessing
great tenacity and durability.
In carrying out our invention we make use of lead wire, coated with india rubber
and interwoven with asbestos, impregnated with chloride of zinc.
The fabric, thus prepared, is then glazed or calendered by means of calendering
rollers, so that the threads of asbestos, impregnated with chloride of zinc may
thoroughly cover the india rubber coated lead wires. A mixture consisting of benzine,
a solution of india rubber in ether, graphite and sulphur, is then applied to the above
fabric, and the mass is vulcanized.
This process produces a packing material which may be repeatedly used and
detached, and always remains fit for further use as a packing material for making
steam tight joints, as well as for other packing purposes.
The lead wires are thoroughly surrounded by the other substances above mentioned
and are thus protected from oxidization the lead being, to some extent, chemically
combined with the asbestos, by means of the chloride of zinc, and by heating the
materials under pressure, a thorough felting takes place, and the mixture of benzine,
solution of india rubber in ether graphite and sulphur is permanently united to the
asbestos by vulcanizing.

page_text: 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 :-
The manufacture and use of packing material consisting of lead wires coated with
india rubber and woven with asbestos threads, and impregnated with chloride of zinc ;
such fabric being calendered and having applied thereto a mixture of Benzine, solution
of india rubber in ether, graphite and sulphur, the whole being vulcanized and solidified
substantially as hereinbefore described.

An Improved Covering for the Rollers used in Textile Machines.
We, FRANK ILLINGWORTH, of Nearcliffe House, Toller Lane, Bradford, in the
County of York, Spinner, and WILLIAM ATKINSON, of 23 Ireton Street, Princeville,
Bradford aforesaid, Spinning Overlooker do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 certain improvements in the method of covering rollers
used on textile machines, and has for its object, the preparation of a material to be
made into jointless rings for covering rollers, in such a manner that the covering is
more durable and answers the purpose better than leather, the material now in
common use for such purpose.
In carrying out our invention, we form the coverings by mixing together in a
suitable vessel the following ingredients, in the proportion of about five parts of pure
India rubber, to fifteen parts of bi-sulphide of Carbon, the same being agitated at
intervals, and allowed to remain until the India rubber is dissolved; we then add
about one part of sulphur, thoroughly mixing all together into a pulp, which we run
into a mould around a disc or metal collar and allow the same to set or stiffen.
The compound on the disc or metal collar is then vulcanized by placing it in a
steamtight chamber, into which steam of about 12 lbs. pressure above the atmosphere
is admitted, the steam being superheated to about 280 degrees Fahrenheit by applying
gas jets or other means to the exterior of the chamber and after allowing the
jointless ring to remain in the chamber for about two hours, it is removed, and when
cold turned true in a lathe to the diameter and width required for use on the
machine

page_text: The quantity of sulphur before mentioned gives a composition having a medium
degree of hardness, but should the roller coverings require to be harder or softer,
this is obtained by adding a little more or less sulphur than stated, the sulphur being
for the purpose of hardening the composition.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
The covering of rollers for textile purposes by jointless or endless rings composed
of the before-mentioned ingredients combined in the proportions and operated sub-
stantially in the manner as described.

Apparatus for Setting Out Courts for Lawn Tennis and such like
Games.
We, CAROLINE LASSELL, of Ray Lodge Maidenhead, in the County of Berks,
Gentlewoman, and DUNCAN PEARCE of Crawfurd, Maidenhead in the County of
Berks, 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 :-
Our invention relates to apparatus for setting out rapidly and accurately on the
ground courts such as are used for lawn tennis and such like games. For this
purpose, we provide a cord or tape or chain provided with loops or rings at computed
distances, and a number of pegs that can be readily inserted into the ground at points.
determined by the positions of the several loops or rings when the cord tape or chain
is made to form the sides of triangles about a given base; and in order to facilitate
the use of the apparatus, we prefer to distinguish the several loops or rings by special
marks or colours on them or on slips attached to them. In order that the method of
operating according to our invention may be more readily understood, we will describe
with reference to the accompanying diagram the setting out of a set of lawn tennis
courts by the use of a tape with rings. The middle line A B, along which the net is to be
stretched, being taken as a base, the tape is stretched along it and pegs are inserted
at A C. DE B, through rings of the tape at these intervals. Then by retaining one
ring of the tape on the peg at A and another at a suitable distance along it on the peg
at B, and stretching the tape obliquely all the points fg hk l m n can be determined
and pegged, and by drawing lines through the points thus determined, the outlines of
the courts, as indicated by the upper part of the figure, can be drawn on the ground.
The points marked by the capital letters in the upper half of the figure correspond
with those marked by the similar small letters in the lower half.
It will thus be seen
that by providing a tape of sufficient length with rings fixed in it at distances such
as A, B, A, B &c. all the required intersecting points are determined by a
species of triangulation.

page_text: 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 :-
For setting out courts for lawn tennis and such like games, the use of a cord, tape
or chain provided with loops or rings at such distances apart that each intersection of
the court lines can be marked as the apex of a. triangle the sides of which are formed
by portions of the cord, tape, or chain of suitably computed lengths, substantially as
described.

page_text: An Improvement in Voltaic Batteries.
I, EDWARD TYER of Ashwin Street, Dalston, London, Electrical 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 construction of voltaic battery cells in such a manner
that a continuous flow of exciting liquid into them is maintained while the spent
liquid is continuously discharged at a corresponding rate, which may be slow or rapid
as required, and that the whole liquid can be rapidly discharged and the cell can
be cleansed without disturbing the elements placed in it. I will describe the
arrangement which I adopt for this purpose referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a simple cell and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a cell
having within it a porous pot or vessel. At any convenient part of the cell or pot
I form, preferably in one piece with the cell or pot, a vertical channel A forming
one limb (the shorter) of a siphon, the longer limb of which consists of a tube or
pipe B connected to the upper mouth of the channel A. At the top of the channel A
is an aperture provided with a valve C which may be, as shewn, a heavy button
faced underneath with leather or other suitable packing material and having a stem
loosely guided in the aperture. In ordinary working, the valve C is held up so that
there is passage for air through the aperture, and the cell being then fed with
liquid in quantity regulated by a valve or tap T, the spent liquid passes from the
bottom of the cell up the channel A and overflows by the pipe B. When it is
desired to empty the cell, the valve C is closed, liquid is for a short time fed rapidly
to the cell so that the siphon A B becomes charged and then, the feed being shut
off, the siphon empties the cell which can then, on opening the valve, be charged
with water or other cleansing liquid, to be drawn off in its turn by the siphon action
DC

page_text: when the valve C is closed. In the same way the porous pot can be emptied and
cleansed when required.
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 :-
In combination with a battery cell or pot, a channel A and pipe B arranged to
operate in conjunction with a valve C either for simple overflow or for complete
discharge by siphon action according as the valve is open or closed, substantially as
herein described.

Preserved Provisions.
We THOMAS DENCE and JOHN JAMES MASON, trading as Brand and Company,
of 11 Little Stanhope Street Mayfair, London W. Preserved Provision 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:
The object of this invention is to so construct a tin can suitable to hold in a solid
form concentrated beef-tea or meat-broths, or other preserved provisions in such a
manner that the contents can be withdrawn from the can without interfering with the
shape acquired in the can, and with ease and facility. This we effect by making the
can in two parts and soldering both these parts to a narrow band of tin leaving a loose
strip or tag to enable the band of tin to be torn off; when this is done the can will
be in halves, then by pulling these asunder they are removed from the contents. The
latter are poured into the can through a small hole in one end which is afterwards
soldered up.
Figure 3 sectional end view through middle.
Figure 4 side view showing divisions of can loose on contents.
The can is made in halves A and B but not necessarily of equal size, soldered
together by a band of tin C this may be left with a loose strip or tag to pull it off by,
and may have a hole in it for a piece of string or wire to be passed through to assist
the tearing off. D represents the contents of the can.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we would remark that we are aware
that prior to our invention it has been proposed to attach covers or tops to cans by
-means of a band of tin to be stripped off to free the cover; also that it has been
proposed to run a wire under the tin for the same purpose; but what we claim is :
A can suitable to hold preserved concentrated provisions made in parts soldered
together by a band of tin which when the band of tin is stripped off leaves the can in
parts, as hereinbefore described and represented in the accompanying drawings.

AN IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR IMPREGNATING WATER WITH CARBONIC ACID
Year: 1887

page_text: [Communicated from abroad by CARL GUSTAV ROMMENHÖLLER and OSCAR BRÜNLER,
both of Rotterdam, in the Kingdom of Holland, Merchants.]
I, THOMAS RICHARD SHILLITO of 89 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for AN IMPROVED
APPARATUS FOR IMPREGNATING WATER WITH CARBONIC ACID" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention is designed for application to what is well known as the "La
Chapelle" apparatus for impregnating water with carbonic acid. It has for object to
render unnecessary the mechanical power employed for driving the stirring or mixing
machine, by doing this with the driving force of the water to be impregnated.
The improved apparatus is shewn in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing. It
consists of a gasometer A for receiving the carbonic acid which together with water
from vessel C is drawn or forced by pump B into yessel D. Hitherto it has been
customary to provide within the vessel a mixing apparatus for inducing an
intimate mixture of the carbonic acid with the water, driven from the main shaft,
whereas according to this invention a cylinder E fitted with a small turbine is placed
in connection with the vessel D, the turbine being driven by the only partially mixed
carbonic acid and water passing to it through pipe a which when thoroughly mixed
together by agitation against bars fixed to the interior circumference of the cylinder E
and similar bars fixed to the turbine shaft and driven by the turbine, passes out of
the cylinder E through the pipe 6 into the collecting vessel F. Instead of the
cylinder E with turbine and mixing apparatus a small turbine wheel may be employed
as shewn in Fig. 2, for operating the mixing of the carbonic acid and water by which
is driven

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
In apparatus of the kind referred to,-a mixing apparatus driven by the liquid
passing into the same and consisting of a cylinder E fitted with projecting bars,
a turbine and a turbine shaft carrying arms or bars driven from the turbine; or of a
vessel in which is mounted a turbine wheel driven by the liquid passing into it
through pipe a substantially as described and shewn.
