IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCREWED BOLTS, STUDS AND OTHER ANALOGOUS PINS OR FASTENINGS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES HARROWER of Preston Crescent, Inverkeithing, in the County of Fife,
North Britain, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCREWED BOLTS, STUDS AND OTHER
ANALOGOUS PINS OR FASTENINGS and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Invention, which relates to Improvements in the construction of screwed
bolts, studs and other analogous pins or fastenings, has for its object the providing
of such bolts, studs, pins or fastenings with means for securing the nuts or their
equivalents screwed thereon, against working loose by vibration, concussion or
other causes.
In order that my said Invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect, I will now proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
Figure 1 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of a bolt constructed
in accordance with my present Invention and shewn with a nut in section secured
thereon.
.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the "head " end of the same and Figure 3 is an
opposite end elevation of the same.
In constructing a bolt according to my present invention and as represented
upon the annexed drawings, I form one, two or more of the longitudinal slits a, in
the shank or cylindrical portion b, thereof so as to render the screwed end c, of &
yielding or spring-like construction. At the said screwed end c, a hole d, is formed,
the outer end of which is taper, and the inner end is tapped or screwed for the
reception of the expanding-screw 6. The shank of this expanding screw e, is
formed with a taper corresponding to that of the outer end of the hole d, and the
inner or screwed end of the said screw e, is split at f, in a manner analogous to that
of the shank or cylindrical portion 6, of the larger bolt, or it may be made solid,
that is to say without such slits f.
When the nut g, is screwed up tight upon the bolt b, the expanding screw e, is
tightened in the screwed hole in the said bolt, the effect of tightening it, being to
expand the sections of the bolt b, outwards and thereby cause the said bolt to be
more completely fastened in or by the nutig.
,

page_text: I desire it to be understood that I may construct the aforesaid bolts, pins or
their analogues of steel, iron or any other metal and that if desired I may temper
any parts thereof as may be found advantageous, and although I have shown the
shank of the said bolts divided into four-sections, it may be divided into two, three
or other number of sections.
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 improvements in screwed Bolts, studs and other analogous Pins or
-Fastenings consisting in their being split longitudinally and provided with an
expanding screw as and for the purposes herein before described with reference to
the annexed Sheet of Drawings.

Improvements in Packages for the Conveyance of Flowers,
Bouquets, Sprays, Plants, and all Fragile Articles by Post or
otherwise.
I JOHN WILLIAM HOFFMAN of 54 Junction Road London N. in the County of
Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
PACKAGES FOR THE CONVEYANCE OF FLOWERS, BOUQUETS, SPRAYS, PLANTS AND ALL
FRAGILE ARTICLES BY POST OR OTHERWISE and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement.
I make a movable tray of a size required, being square, round, oblong or
otherwise and having for its top a web consisting of bands cords, strings or
threads in elastic or other material in the interstices of which the articles to
be forwarded are fixed in order to prevent their being shaken in transit. They
may also, if necessary, be supported by moss, wool cotton, fibre or any other soft
substance dry or damp and the tray then placed and fixed into a suitable box of
iron, tin, wood or any other suitable material.
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 1
I claim is
The tray with the web to contain and clasp the articles to be forwarded and
to prevent by that means in transit the shaking or displacement of the said
articles.

page_text: the matting or carpeting.
Fig. 2 represents a metal cap to be used for the purpose of covering the ends of
the Binding to add strength and durability to it, and is to be attached to it by
means of rivets.
Fig. 3 shows the binding with cap attached to the matting or carpeting by
means of rivets.
Figures 4 and 5 show a modified form of the rubber binding.
It is intended to keep the material to which it is attached from ravelling; to
preserve the shape of the end of the material and to cause the same to lay smooth
on the floor and to keep the same from wearing out.
It consists of a thin oblong piece of rubber solid on one side and open on the
other to admit the ends of the material to which it is to be attached. The flaps
that diverge from the solid side of the binding and form the open side cover when
attached the top and bottom of the end of the material or the upper and lower
sides, to which they are attached. The flaps are corrugated or plain on the surface
and are attached to the carpeting by means of rivets.
In the drawing the top ilap is represented by the letter A, and is to cover the
end of the matting or carpeting which is uppermost on the floor. B represents the
solid side of the binding, and U represents the under flap of the same which covers
the portion of the material next to the floor. D represents the portion of the
binding to be covered by the metal cap. The binding is to be manufactured in
different lengths to fit the different widths of matting, carpeting, mats, etc.
The modification shown in figures 4 and 5 consists in the use of two separate
strips of rubber, one of which A is placed upon the upper side of the carpet and
the other upon the lower side, the two strips being riveted to the carpet and to
each other in any suitable manner.
.

page_text: The advantage of my binding is that it will make the material to which it is
attached lay smooth on the floor. It will keep the ends of the material from
ravelling and wearing out. It will keep the material in place when laid on the
floor. Its advantage over anything of the kind in use is that by virtue of its
being manufactured of rubber it can be rolled or bent in any direction and will not
break or crack when the material to which it is attached is being handled for
cleaning, moving or any purpose whatever.
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
First. The Rubber Binding substantially as described for the purpose specified,
consisting of a thin oblong piece of rubber, solid on one side and open on the other
to admit the ends of the material to which it is to be attached, the open space
being formed by flaps that extend from the solid side and cover the ends of the
material, all combined and arranged essentially as set forth.
Second. The Binding substantially as described consisting of two separate strips
of rubber riveted together for the purpose specified.

We WILLIAM MAXWELL, Engineer of 34 Claybrook Road S W and THEOPHILUS
VAUGHAN HUGHES Associate of the Royal School of Mines of Greenfield Mills
Holywell North Wales do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A system or method of heating incandescent or glow lamps prior to or during,
the process of exhaustion.
We employ heated air, gases, vapours or liquids as the source of heat. In
carrying out our invention, we employ cases or envelopes of metal or other suitable
material wholly or partially enclosing one or more lamps or other vessels to be
exhausted, within or through the said cases or envelopes the heated air et caetera
circulate or travel, with or without contact with the lamps or vessels to be
exhausted.

page_text: We, WILLIAM MAXWELL, and THEOPHILUS VAUGHAN HUGHES, of 30 Westwick
Gardens, West Kensington, in the County of Middlesex, 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 the manufacture of Incandescent Electric Lamps, it is usual during the
process of exhaustion to heat the lamps in order to obtain a high vacuum.
Our invention relates to a method of heating incandescent electric lamps during
the process of exhaustion by which method a high and definite temperature can-be
economically applied without danger to the lamp or discomfort to the operator.
For this purpose we surround the lamp to be exhausted or several lamps by an
atmosphere of air or other gas heated to the required degree within a case or
envelope through which the heated fluid is caused to circulate. We prefer to
use heated air but obviously other gases or vapours might be used that can
he conveniently raised to the required temperature which is preferably about
300° Centigrade. The case may be double walled the bot fluid circulating
through the spaces between the walls, while the lamps are within the space
enclosed by them.
By thus subjecting the lamps to the uniformly diffused and suitably tempered
, heat of a heated atmosphere surrounding them on all sides, we avoid the risk of
the damage which often results from the local application of flame or hot products
of combustion, from sudden changes of temperature, or from excess of heat; and
by confining the hot atmosphere employed within a case or envelope, we are
enabled to use without offence hot gases or vapours of even a noxious or
disagreeable character, if such are available.
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:—
In the manufacture of incandescent lamps, enclosing them during exhaustion
within a case or envelope through which or through the hollow walls of which air,
gas or vapour heated to a suitable temperature is caused to circulate, substantially
as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Apparel and for other similar Purposes.
Year: 1885

page_text: Apparel and for other similar Purposes.
I, ANNIE PARRY, of 11 Grosvenor Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester in
the County of Lancaster, Costume Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
the said invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PREPARATION OF MATERIALS
FOR WEARING APPAREL AND FOR OTHER SIMILAR PURPOSES" and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement thereof, that is to say :—
My invention relates to an improvement applicable more especially to the
preparation of materials for wearing apparel but applicable also to the preparation
of materials for other similar purposes, whereby such materials are rendered
elastic, and wearing apparel, or other covering made thereof, adapts itself easily
and automatically to the figure or form it is intended to cover. For example, a
ladies' costume or bodice, made wholly or partly of materials prepared in accordance
with my invention, will fit and adapt itself perfectly to the forms of several persons
whose figures and sizes vary considerably as compared with each other.
My invention consists in combining by stitching or sewing ordinary silk, wool,
cotton, or other materials, with elastic material while the latter is held in a state
of tension. For this purpose I take any suitable elastic material, such as elastic
webbing for example, and I hold it stretched more or less by any suitable means,
while I stitch or sew over the surface thereof the said silk or other material
intended to form the outer surface of the article, and at the same time under the
said elastic I stich or sew, if required, any suitable lining. When the stitching or
sewing together of the elastic and other material is completed, the elastic material
is allowed to contract to its normal condition, and the materials thus combined
assume the form of a more or less finely pleated or gathered material, casing, or
trimming, which when formed into or incorporated in an article of wearing
apparel, or other covering, can expand within the limits to which the elastic
material had been stretched in the first instance, according to the tension or stretch
put upon it by the figure or form it is intended to fit.
This invention is applicable to a great variety of purposes, for example to ladies',
children's and other costumes, bodices, corsets, mantles, jackets, gloves and under-
clothing, the uppers of boots and shoes, the tight fitting parts of gentlemen's vests
and trousers, theatrical costumes, antimaccassars, covers for ottomans and chairs,
and so forth.

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
The combination of material for wearing apparel and other similar purposes
with elastic material, while such elastic material is held stretched whereby the
combined materials are rendered elastic within the limits to which the elastic
material has been stretched in the first instance, substantially as hereinbefore
'described.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THERMOMETERS FOR CULINARY PURPOSES
Year: 1885

page_text: I WALTHER HEMPEL, Doctor of Philosophy, of N° 15 Leubnitzer Strasse in the
City of Dresden, Saxony, Germany do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THERMOMETERS FOR CULINARY PURPOSES " 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 Thermometers for culinary purposes by
means of which said thermometer it is rendered possible to ascertain when meat or
meats is or are properly roasted baked or cooked.
My improved thermometer for culinary purposes consists of a tube or casing
which resembles a larding pin and contains a thermometer.
In order to employ my said improved thermometer the needle, or larding pin like
tube or casing is inserted in the roasting baking or cooking meat or the meat to be
roasted baked or boiled or cooked so that it is only necessary to romove or
withdraw the thermometer from the meat in order to ascertain according to the
temperature of the same whether or no the meat is well done.
If the temperature is attained at which albumine coagulates the meat will be
cooked but bloody, id est, under done but the said meat is entirely cooked through-
out or well done when 70 to 74 degrees Centigrade or the temperature at which
the colored matter in the blood coagulates is reached.
As thermometer I employ glass tubes which are filled with a small quantity of
fusible material the melting of which will show when the meat is done.
If a spit is used for roasting, the same is made hollow so that the same can serve
as case or shell for the thermometer.
As fusible mass I employ a mixture of fats, different kinds of wax, metallic alloys
or their equivalents.
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 thermometer which shows that meat is roasted, baked or cooked and has
reached a temperature at which it is done whereby a small quantity of a fusible
[P931

page_text: mass is arranged in a small glass tube which is inserted in the meat to be cooked
by means of a hollow pin or hollow spit or its equivalent substantially as
described in the foregoing specification.
Articles Requiring similar Fastenings.

page_text: Articles Requiring similar Fastenings.
I, SAMUEL CARTLIDGE, of 31, Market Street, Longton, in the county of Stafford,
Watchmaker and Jeweller do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
MORE READILY AND MORE SECURELY FASTENING BRACELETS, NECKLETS, AND OTHER
ARTICLES REQUIRING SIMILAR FASTENINGS, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
My fastening consists of a coiled spring A or as an alternative a spiral spring,
enclosed and concealed by a metal plate B such plate being removable or otherwise,
and fixed on the underside of the bracelet, &c. by solder, screws, pins, rivets, clamps,
clips, or flanges, or by any combination of these. The spring acts upon a double
bolt C which projects a little beyond the edge where the two parts of the
bracelet, &c., meet when closed; and each tongue of this double bolt is bent
at right angles, or L shaped, with the projecting portions bevelled or taper, and is
received on the opposite edge through slots. D made for the purpose. When the
two edges of the bracelet, &c., are brought together, the bolts automatically enter
the slots, and become securely locked, thereby permanently closing the bracelet, &c.
In unfastening, a stud or button E projecting just outside the bracelet, &c., and
midway of its width, is slightly pushed by the finger nail, and this movement
releases the lock, and it is then only necessary to separate the two opposite edges
of the bracelet, &c., in the usual way. One or two steadying pins F as the
construction of the bracelet or other article will allow, and as may be necessary,
can be inserted in one edge of the bracelet, &c., and a hole or holes G made in the
opposite edge to receive such pin or pins, but this may in many cases be dispensed
with,
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. That the fastening cannot undo by accident nor in any way except by
purposed manipulation, and thereby greater safety is attained than by any other
method now in use.

page_text: 2. That it is simple in construction and in action.
3. That it is not liable to get out of order.
4. That it is not costly.
5. That it can be readily attached and applied to any pattern or form of bracelet,
necklet, or other article where any two edges or faces are brought together and 5
. require to be fastened, either temporarily or permanently.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TRANSMITTING OF FARQUHARSON & LANES ELECTRIC SHIPS TELEGRAPH
Year: 1885

page_text: Electric Ship's Telegraph.
We WILLIAM SKINNER, Secretary of Latimer Clark Muirhead & Co Limited of
23 Regency Street Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, Electric Telegraph
& General Engineers and JOHN FARQUHARSON of Poinona House Fulham in the .
County of Middlesex Examiner of the Admiralty and DANIEL WILLIAM LANE of
6 Bedford Street Southsea Engineer do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TRANSMITTING OF FARQUHARSON & LANES ELECTRIC
SHIPS TELEGRAPH and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
The improvement consists generally of a method of utilizing stored energy for
actuating the mechanism of the transmitting instrument at a uniform rate and at
the maximum speed which can be utilized in the recording or receiving instrument
by which means an important advantage is gained as the sender of the signal is
free to attend to other matters while the signal is being transmitted.
Fig. 1. is a part plan of the top.
Fig. 2. is a vertical section.
Fig. 3. is plan of the bottom.
The mechanism employed consists of a train of wheels A with fly regulator B
acted on by a spring C. The wheels are geared into the spindle D which carries
the finger E and also an arm F below the dial. Round the dial at equal intervals
a number of pushes G, corresponding with the signals to be transmitted, are placed
& so arranged as to form stops. Each are fitted with a sheave or roller which
moves freely and rests on the chain or band H which chain or band has sufficient
slack to allow one of the stops to be depressed far enough to come in the path of
the arm F.
When a second push is depressed the arm F is released & the finger E. turns
under the influence of the spring until the arm F is stopped by the newly depressed
push. The arm F has a rubbing contact with the insulated metal ring K. The
ring K. is connected to one terminal of a Battery, the centre spindle carrying the
arm F being to line wire. Opposite each stop in the ring K. a piece of insulating
material is so placed that the circuit is broken whenever the mechanism is at rest
and the battery is thereby rendered inactive except when work is being done.

IMPROVEMENTS IN KITCHEN FENDERS, TOP BARS, FIRE STANDS, AND ASHES PANS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, ALFRED WARBURTON WOODHEAD of Vaughan Street Works, Bradford in the
County of York, Hardware Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN KITCHEN FENDERS, TOP BARS, FIRE STANDS, AND
ASHES PANS, 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 the rounding of the outside edge of the top bar
of fenders, top bars, and other hardware goods where it is desirable to have such
edge rounded not only for appearance's sake but also for strength and safety.
Hitherto in order to obtain a round edge, we have ground the flat top iron by
means of grinding stones and emery wheels but this only gives a shallow curve
that is equal to the thickness of the iron which is necessarily limited.
In order to increase the curvature of the outside edge, I have prepared rolls and
thereby produce a section as shewn in the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2,
and 3, thus giving a deeper curve to the outside edge of the hardware goods
mentioned above. Children in falling against the fenders and other articles near
the fire will thus escape flesh cuts and the bright work will be cleaned with ease
and present a more pleasing appearance to the eye.
-
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 rolling of a round nosed section of iron substantially as and for the purpose
herein described and set forth.

I employ, attached in the usual way to the umbrella or walking stick the larger
ferrule constructed so as to form a shoulder and collar at its foot, which is drilled
& tapped.
The second or small ferrule or tip I construct with a solid foot for wearing and
having a screwed stem suitable for screwing into the foot of the first or larger
ferrule and having sides so constructed that when the tip is screwed up its sides
bear tightly against the shoulder and collar of the larger ferrule and so secures the
two ferrules as one.

Year: 1885

page_text: We CARL DORNFELD of Cologne in the German Empire, Electrician, and
HERMANN MÜLLER of Hottingen near Zurich, Switzerland, 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 an improved construction of electric are lamps wherein
the distance of the carbon points is regulated by means of mechanism consisting of
a rack and pinions, an escapement wheel and its anchor, and an electromagnet in a
shunt circuit arranged and operating as we will proceed to describe.
In the accompanying drawing, a is a rack which carries the upper carbon. This
rack which moves in guides gears with a pinion b to which is affixed the escape-
ment wheel c This wheel may be toothed as shewn in the drawing, but it may
have any other known form of teeth such as are used for clockwork purposes.
The anchor d, which engages with the escapement wheel is fixed to the armature
core e of an electromagnet f (shewn in the drawing as a solenoid) which lies in a
shunt circuit of the lamp. It is drawn down by its own weight and thus checks
the movement of the escapement wheel and rack. A lever having its fulcrum at g
and one end of which bears on the contact screw h, is by the ascent of the core e
pushed away from h, which is the contact for the shunt coil f.
When the circuit for the lamp is closed, while the carbons are in contact, these
are separated by any known arrangement so that the arc can be formed. Should
the arc become too long by consumption of the carbons, then so much current
passes through the solenoid coil that it attracts its core, and raises the tooth i of
the anchor d from off the escapement wheel; as the anchor d has its fulcrum at k
the tooth will engage at the same time with the wheel and prevent it from
running down. When the core rises higher the contact by the lever at h is broken,
the current is thus cut off from the solenoid coil and the anchor and core descend,
the tooth leaves the wheel free, and the tooth i again engages. The escapement
wheel is thus moved a tooth onwards and the carbons are made proportionally to
approach each other.
If the circuit should be closed while the carbons are apart, then this action will
take place repeatedly until the carbous touch each other.

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
An electric arc lamp, wherein the descent of the upper carbon, and consequently
the exact distance of the carbon points from each other is directly regulated by an
escapement in such a manner that, when the are becomes too long, the ascent
by attraction and the descent of the armature of an electromagnet in a shunt
circuit, causes the step by step advance of the escapement, substantially as herein
described.
