FREDERICK BEESLEY $5 Edgware Road, London, W. Gunmaker do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A simple means of lifting the hammers of guns to full cock when opening the gun
at the breech for inserting the cartridges; to effect this I pivot across the action
body, and under the toes of the hammers a lifter piece of steel so that it will engage
with the steel lump on the barrels, either by the pressure of a spring, or by the fore-
part thrusting it into its place, and when this lifting piece is so engaged with the steel
lump, the hammers will be raised to full cock on opening the gun, and left in that
position ready for firing.

page_text: FREDERICK BEESLEY 85 Edgware Road, London W. Gunmaker, 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 :-
A simple means of lifting the hammers of guns to full cock when opening the gun
at the breech for inserting the cartridges; to effect this I pivot across the action body
and under the toes of the hammers a lifter piece of steel, so that it will engage with
the steel lump on the barrels either by the pressure of a spring, or by the forepart
thrusting it into place, & when this lifting piece is so engaged, the hammers will be
raised to full cock on opening the gun and left in that position ready for firing.
In the accompanying drawings I illustrate the operation of my invention. Fig. 1
shows a sectional side view of the mechanism, the barrels being placed in the action
without the forend attached & the lifter disengaged from the lump of the barrels.
Fig. 2 shows the forend added, which by pressing on the lifting piece at E2 forces &
keeps it in the notch F1 of the lump so that the barrels being raised at the breech and
lift the toes of the hammers to full cock. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the lifting piece E,
the part 4 being the point of engagement with the lump of the barrels, and the
parts E1 and E3 being the points of contact with the toes of the hammers in a double
barrel gun; the letters and figures apply to the same parts in each figure illustrated
as follows
A is the action, B the barrels, C the hammer, D) the forend, E the lifting
piece, F the lump, G the sear. The lifting piece may be made to engage with
either lump in the same manner as shown in the drawings where only the back lump
is so depicted.
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 use of a loose lifting piece pivoted by slotted bearings on a fixed fulcrum, so
that when the forepart is applied to force it into engagement with the lump of the
barrels, it will lift the hammers to full cock as the gun is opened, in the manner herein
shown and described.

page_text: I, JAMES RODGER THOMSON, of the firm of James & George Thomson, Engineers
and Shipbuilders, Clydebank, Dumbartonshire, 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 an improved three-way valve adapted in particular for
use in connection with ship's pumps in substitution for the ordinary master cock to
provide for changing the pump suction from sea to bilge without risk of leakage
from the sea to the ship's bilge.
As represented in the accompanying drawings in which figure 1 is a vertical
section figure 2 an elevation and figure 3 a plan the improved valve constituting
my invention consists of a hollow piston A fitted in a cylindrical casing B and
having formed upon its upper and lower ends conical or flat faces a, a¹, adapted to
fit corresponding seats b, 61, formed on the casing. In the cover B¹ or upper end
of the casing B is a branch C to which is connected the suction pipe from the sea,
and to a branch or flange D at the lower end of the casing the bilge suction pipe is
fitted, while a common suction branch E for connection to the pump, is formed on
the side and communicates with the interior of the casing through an annular
orifice or series of ports e formed therein and a pocket f surrounding said ports.
The double faced piston valve A has formed or fitted on it a screw spindle G
passing through a stuffing box g, in the cover of the casing and upon said spindle
a screw nut h is fitted to turn in a guide bracket I, and operated by a hand
wheel H to raise or lower the valve A. The valve is shown in its mid position
covering the ports e and closing off both the bilge and the sea connections but not
more tightly than is practicable with a piston valve. On raising the valve until
its upper face a bears hard upon the seat b the connection from the sea is closed
tightly while that from the bilge to the pump is opened, and on lowering the valve
so that its lower face a¹ bears hard upon the seat b³, the pump suction is connected
to the sea while possibility of leakage to the bilge is prevented. As the valve
closes tightly upon the seats a¹ and b¹ it need not closely fit the casing B and it is
therefore easily operated.
The improved valve is adapted for use not only as a master valve as above
described, but for the various purposes to which ordinary three-way cocks or
valves are applied.

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 parts constituting the improved three-way valve with
double faced piston, substantially as herein described with reference to the
drawings annexed.

THOMAS ALFRED WILLIAM CLARKE Havelock Works Leicester Machine Maker do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvement consists in the arrangement of Tongs so as to prevent them from
denting or injuring gas or other piping when being screwed tight with tongs.
To do this I make the Grip end of ordinary or improved tongs (as I shall hereafter
describe) to have a number of teeth in a part circle nearly to fit the pipe, so that when
the tooth comes upon the pipe, it rolls the grip upon the pipe and holds it.
I will now proceed to explain my drawing.
A is an axle that slides in slot B when pressed down by screw D which regulates
the Grip to size of pipe. E is the Grip with any number of teeth to suite convenience,
so that when the handles of Tongs are clasped together the number of teeth act upon
the pipe and so prevent one tooth as hitherto used crushing into the pipe and so
denting or otherwise injuring the pipe.
I claim for my improvement the kind of Grip substantially in the manner, herein-
before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

IMPROVEMENTS IN TREADLES FOR HAND-LOOMS
Year: 1886

page_text: I, LOUIS EMILE DUBOIS of Toronto of 153 King Street West, in the City of
Toronto, in the Dominion of Canada, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of
my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TREADLES FOR HAND-LOOMS" 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 an Improvement in the construction of treadles for
hand Looms, and it consists essentially in providing separate bars connected
together by slotted plates, so as to minimize the labor entailed on the weaver, as
will be hereafter shewn.
In the Drawings :
Fig. 1) is a perspective view of my improved Treadle-mechanism,
Fig. 2) is a section of the same.
Fig. 3) is an end view.
Fig. 4) is a view of the slit or mortise, part being broken away, and
Fig. 5) is a view of the slotted tenon plate.
I have often observed, in practice, that the straight treadle at present in vogue,
necessitates the raising of the weavers feet to an inconvenient height and causes
much weariness. This I propose to remedy by constructing my treadles as shewn
in the Drawings, in which A, A are the treadles properly shaped as shown, and
having each a slotted plate a, securely bolted tenon wise, within it. B, B, are
parallel bars meeting the treadles A, A, and being each furnished with a slit b,
into which the plate-tenon a fits loosely: b is a pin, which passes through the slot a¹
in the plate a.
C, C, and D, D, are treadles and bars constructed precisely in the same manner
as A, A, B, B; and they are all pivoted preferably in rods E, which rods have their
bearings in standards F.
For convenience sake, I place collars between each treadle, so as to keep them
from interfering with each other.
In Fig. 1 the feet of the weaver are supposed to be pressing on the treadles C, C,
forcing them down. When the feet are removed from them, the strain of the
cords attached to the frames will cause them to fly upwards, while the feet are
hifted to the treadles A, A. And this shifting of the feet is accomplished without

page_text: even lifting them, as the heels are quickly removed from A, A, to C, C, and the
rest of the foot is slid over immediately afterwards, causing the smallest amount
of exertion possible.
The said cords may of course be attached to any part of the bars B, B, D, D,
which may be desired.
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
As an improved treadle for hand-looms, the pivoted bars A, A, having slotted
tenons a, a, in combination with the parallel bars B, B, having slits b, b; the said
slotted tenons engaging with, and working in the slits b, b, the range of their
motion being confined by the pin b' substantially as shown, and for the purpose
specified.

BRUCE JOHN CAPELL Architect 70 Whitechapel Road London (E.) DAVID GEORGE
GINN Commercial Traveller 29 St. Thomas Road South Hackney London (E.), do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
An improvement in the distribution of the metal of projectiles, securing increased
steadiness of flight, and reduced atmospheric resistance; and rendering it practicable
to obtain at one and the same time, higher initial velocity, flattened fragectory,
diminished recoil, and diminished weight of amunition. The improvement is
effected by the making of a clear passage way through the projectile from front to
rear, the passage way to be circular in transverse section and concentric with the
projectile.
We do not bind ourselves to any precise proportion between the diameter of the
passage way and the diameter or length of the projectile.
The passage way may be lined and the base of the projectile covered entirely or in
part with metal other than that of which the projectile is composed.
The passage way to be sealed during the progress in the barrel by such a loose wad
or plug as shall readily leave the projectile during its flight.
We do not bind ourselves to any particular form or material of wad or plug.
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
(1) An axial passage way through the projectile.
(2) The sealing of the passage way during the subjection of the projectile to the
propelling force.
(3) The clearness of the passage way during flight.

page_text: We JAMES REGINALD CRAPPER of the firm of E. Crapper & Co of Birchills
Foundry Walsall in the County of Stafford Founders and SAMUEL BOARZ of
Top Lock Birchills Walsall in the County of Stafford Fitter 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 :-
This invention has for its object improvements in stamping machines of that
class which consist in a weight lifted and allowed to descend by its own gravity
for which purpose various means have been adopted for raising the weight and for
liberating the same in an expeditious and yet simple and reliable manner which
we have succeeded in accomplishing by this invention.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which is
illustrated an example of the application of our invention in practice to a stamping
machine.
•
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stamping machine above the foundation line
A and B.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same machine also above the foundation
line A and B.
It will be seen that the anvil block C is fixed on the foundation line A B in the
particular case shown but the level may be raised or lowered according to circum-
stances. The standards D are fixed to the anvil block C and support the upper
part E and they also form guides for the stamp or drop weight H. Connected
with the drop weight or stamp H is the vertical rod K which passes up between
the two friction wheel M and N which are hung upon the shafts P and R which
also carries the two spur wheels S and T gearing into each other. The shaft N is
carried by the fast carriage Q and the shaft R by the movable or sliding carriage U
and the shafts are always kept revolving by a suitable gear on one of the shafts and
the friction wheel is fixed so as to be as near the face of the rod K as possible
without causing friction. The foot lever W is connected through the rods X, Y
and Z to the sliding carriage U in such a manner that pressure of the foot brings
the friction wheel M to bear against the rod K which is tightly gripped between
the two friction wheels M and N and so lifted to the desired height when the foot
Is eased and the weight descend by gravity. By this means no time is lost by

page_text: attachments and the action is as rapid as possible. The arrangement of the gear
may of course be varied without departing from the nature of the invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that
what we claim is :-
The improvements in stamping machines in which the weight H is lifted by
means of a rod K operated by friction wheels substantially as herein set forth.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CAR AXLES
Year: 1886

page_text: I, EDGAR PECKHAM, of Syracuse, in the County of Onondaga, and State of
New York, United States of America, manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of my invention, for IMPROVEMENTS IN CAR AXLES 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 obtain an axle for a car or other vehicle in
which shall be combined minimum weight with maximum strength.
And to that end my invention consists chiefly in forming the axle of a metal
tube reinforced by internal tubular bushings extending from the extremities of the
main tube inward beyond the attachments of the wheels, and portions of said main
tube and its bushings compressed circumferentially to form the journals, more fully
described and specifically set forth in the claims.
In the annexed drawing fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved car axle
and Fig. 2 is partly a side view and partly a longitudinal section of a car axle
embodying my invention.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the axle which I form of a metal tube, and B-B denote the car
wheels attached to said axle. It being an established fact that vehicle axles
receive the greatest strain at or near the inner end of the wheel hubs, I reinforce
said tubular axle at said points by insorting therein tubular bushings a—a
extending from the extremities of the axle or main tube to points beyond the
attachments of the wheels, and the journals b-b I form by compressing circum-
ferentially the main tube together with its enclosed bushings, the latter becoming
thereby securely locked in the axle.
By the employment of the tubular bushings I permit the entrance of air into
the interior of the journals and thus obviate in a great measure the danger of the
journals becoming heated.
In case the wheel is to be loose to allow it to revolve on the axle, I can inake
the axle self-lubricating by closing the inner end of the bushing a and providing
the outer end with a removable plug c, and drilling radially through the axle and
its bushing, one or more lubricating channels - as shown in Fig. 2 of the
drawing, thereby converting the bushing a into a lubricant reservoir. The lubri-
cant being introduced into said reservoir through the outer end thereof, the plug o
being made removable for that purpose.

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 :-
A car axle composed of a main tube and tubular bushings in said main tube
extending from the extremities thereof inward. beyond the attachments of the
wheels, and portions of said main tube and its bushings compressed circumferentially
as described and shown.

TRAVELLING RUG, APPLICABLE ALSO FOR OTHER PURPOSES," to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to travelling or other rugs used as coverings for
giving warmth to the body, and consists in combining a "down" quilt with a
woven or felted rug for the purpose of increasing the warmth of such coverings.
In order to carry out my invention I employ an ordinary "down" quilt of the
same size as the woven or felted rug to which it is to be secured.
This down quilt is then placed at the back of the woven or felted rug, to which
it is stitched, or otherwise secured thereto.
•
By the combining of a "down" quilt with an ordinary woven or felted rug, the
body covered thereby is kept much warmer than when covered by a plain rug
only; and no material difference is felt in the weight of the combination rug, as
the "down" is very fine and the material enclosing same is very light.

a quilt filled with down or other suitable fibre or material for the purpose of
incerting the warmth of such coverings.
In order to carry out my invention I employ an ordinary quilt filled with down
or other fibre, which down quilt I combine with and attach to a woven or felted
rug. The method of attachment being done by sewing or other convenient means.
Instead of the down quilt being a complete quilt-that is-a bag filled with
soft fibre, and then attached to an ordinary rug, I may place the down or other
fibre in contact with one side of the rug and then cover the down with a suitable
covering.
In some cases the down quilt may be attached to a rug one or both sides of
which may be made of waterproof material.
The down quilt may be of the same size as the rug, or if desirable it may be of
less size.
By the combining of a down quilt with an ordinary woven or felted rug, the
body covered thereby is kept much warmer than when covered by a plain rug
only; and no material difference is felt in the weight of the combination rug, as
the "down" is very fine and the material enclosing same is very light.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LUBRICANTS
Year: 1886

page_text: I, FREDERIC PELHAM WARREN of East Court Cosham, Hants, Captain, (Retired)
Royal Navy do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
LUBRICANTS 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 of my invention for the manufacture of
lubricants for which letters patent were granted to me dated 6th Octr. 1879 and
numbered 4021. In practice I found that the lubricants manufactured as therein
described were liable to be affected by rapid changes of temperature and this
objection I have overcome by using along with the ozokerite and oils a small
proportion of carnuba wax, and by forcing air into the admixture during
preparation. By this means not only is a higher temperature of melting point
obtained but the consistence of the material is more uniform.
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 use of carnuba wax in combination with ozokerite and oil and the forcing
of air into the admixture during preparation.
Hammers, Chisels, and similar Articles.
Year: 1886

page_text: Hammers, Chisels, and similar Articles.
I, ERIK GUSTAFSON ODELSTJERNA, of Linde, in the County of Westmanland,
Kingdom of Sweden, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my 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 the manufacture of axes, hammers, chisels and
similar articles of excellent quality at a lower price than heretofore.
This is effected by casting these tools of "Martin" steel to which is added a
quantity of chrome, adapted to the degree of hardness required to be given to
the tools.
The manufacture is effected in the following manner.
To the iron bath in a "Martin" furnace prepared in the usual manner, is added
chromic pig-iron the quantity of which is adapted partly to the degree of hardness
required to be given to the tools; partly to the amount of chrome contained in the
chromic pig iron; and partly to the amount of carbon in the iron of the iron bath.
From 1 per cent to 4 per cent, may, however, be considered as limits of the quantity
of the chrome to be added because a lower quantity than 1 per cent of chrome
added to iron containing 1 per cent of carbon does not produce a good product, and
a quantity greater than 4 per cent of chrome makes the product too expensive.
The chromic pig-iron added to the bath having melted, and the bath having been
stirred, the metal is poured into chills of iron or refractory matter, and formed in
two parts, which, laid together, constitute the mould for the tool.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figures 1, 2 and 3 represent in front elevation, side elevation and plan
respectively a chill intended for axes.
ab are the two parts of the chill composed of refractory matter or iron, of which
one part b is secured to a base c, while the other a is fixed on a treadle-bar d
pivotted on a pin e fastened in the base. In consequence of this construction the
chill may be rapidly closed by treading on the bar d and likewise it may also be
rapidly opened by this contrivance.
The chromic Martin-metal having been poured into the closed chill through the
passage ƒ it is left to harden whereafter the chill is opened and the tool taken out,

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 ;
First. The manufacture of axes, hammers, chisels and similar articles by casting
chromic Martin-metal into chills, direct from a Martin-furnace.
Second. In casting axes, hammers, chisels, and similar articles from chromic
Martin-metal, the use of a chill consisting of two parts (a b) one of which is
stationary while the other is united to a bar (d) pivotted on a pin (e), whereby the
rapid opening and closing of the chill may be effected.

page_text: I, ANTHONY FRANCIS EMERIE DE ST. DALMAS of Danesbury Villa, The Fosse
Leicester manufacturing chemist 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 overcome the disadvantages of using wooden
blocks in street paving or in street pavements. The wooden blocks as ordinarily
used are sawn from the plank into the sizes required and placed on the foundation.
In some cases pitch or tar is used to preserve the blocks. Creosote is also used for
the same purpose. Wood being of a very porous nature readily absorbs water and
foul matter, and it is found in practice that the preparations hitherto used to
preserve the wood have not been effective.
In this my invention I provide blocks of wood of any description, or blocks
made of compressed paper pulp or of any other more or less porous material of
sufficient strength and elasticity, and I impregnate or coat said blocks with a com-
pound consisting of coal dust and oil in any suitable proportions before the blocks
are placed on their foundation. Coal dust prevents the decay of the wood or other
porous material and if the pavement when laid is spread with a coating of the
compound aforesaid the absorption of foul matter will be effectually prevented.
In this my invention although I prefer the employment of coal dust and oil
combined as a preservative for the wooden blocks or blocks of other porous
material, I claim the employment of coal dust combined with tar or pitch, or
creosote, or with any other suitable preparation to preserve the blocks from decay
and to prevent the ingress of foul matter. This is an important sanitary improve-
ment. It will be seen that the coal dust enters the pores of the wood and
being of a gritty character forms an excellent surface, thus obviating the very
objectionable splashing of mud caused by the nature of the wood when coal dust
is not used.

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.) The employment of coal dust combined with oil in the manner substantially
as and for the purposes set forth and described.
(2.) The employment of coal dust in any compound to preserve paving blocks
from decay and to improve said blocks substantially as and for the purposes set
forth and described.

page_text: I, HERMANN MÜLLER of the firm of Spiecker & Co of Cologne in the German
Empire, 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 :-
According to my invention I construct the magnetic field of induction apparatus
or secondary generators of electric currents in such a manner as to form a closed
circuit. For this purpose I make the wire core of a length exceeding that of the
primary and secondary coils to such an extent, that the projecting ends of the wires
can be bent first over the ends of the coils and then back along the outer surface
of the outer coil, so that the portion of the wires so bent back from the one end
overlap those bent back from the other end, thus forming practically a closed
magnetic field extending from the centre over the ends of the coils, and then over
the outer surface thereof.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing shews a longitudinal section of an induction
apparatus I being the primary coil and II the secondary coil, within which is the
extended iron wire core E E¹. Fig. 3 shews a longitudinal section of the same
parts, with the extended ends of the core E E¹ bent back over the outer surface of
the coil I, thus forming a closed magnetic field. Fig. 2 shews a cross section of the
parts in this condition.
Fig. 4 shews an elevation and Fig. 5 a plan of an induction coil or secondary
generator thus constructed, enclosed at the ends by caps A, B, secured by screw
bolts C; D D' are the terminals of the wire circuits.
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
Constructing induction apparatus or secondary generators with closed field
magnets, by folding back the extended ends of the wire core over the outer surface
of the induction coils, substantially as herein described.

GEORGE EDWARD HOLMES London Street Derby in the County of Derby Coach-
Maker 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 in an Improved method of making a Wheel by the introduc-
tion of a metal box or socket, or a box or socket made of a composition containing
gutta-percha, caoutchouc, or similar material of an elastic nature or a metal box or
socket lined or covered with an elastic composition let in or between the felloes and
forming part with them in the circumference of the Wheel and into which the ends
of the spokes are fitted, there being projections or indentations on the side of the box
or socket to keep the felloes in their places. The accompanying drawings indicate
the position of the box or socket in the circumference of the Wheel but the various
modifications are too numerous to represent in drawings.
In Figures Nos. 1. 2 and 3. B, is the box or socket; F the felloes, S, the spoke and
T, the tyre.
'
Figures Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, shew projections on the sides to keep the felloes in
their places.
In Figures Nos. 7. 8. and 9. an elastic material can be introduced between the
metal and the end of the felloes and between the box or socket and the Tyre or inside
the box or socket round the tang of spoke as might be required.
The shape of the tang or end of the spoke will also vary according to circumstances,
as shewn in Figures Nos. 3. 5 and 8.
Some other ways of useing the box or socket are indicated in Figures Nos. 10. 11.
and 12.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what I claim is
1st. The introduction of the box or socket (to receive the end or tang of spoke)
forming part with the felloes in the circumference of the Wheel, and so giving greater
strength to the end or tang of spoke, as it can enter the box or socket the full strength
of spoke.
2. Strengthing the felloes by the introduction of the box or socket to receive the
end or tang of spoke.
3. When India-rubber or elastic material is used the vibration or jarring is much
lessened.

page_text: I ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication from
Friedrich Wilhelm Rosenow, of the City of Reppen, Kingdom of Prussia, German
Empire) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention refers to improvements in lamp glasses and consists of a simple
and in all cases effective method to supply the burner with the necessary air (in
combination with a regulating device) even when the draught holes of the glass or
burner holder are wholly or partially stopped up with wick fragments or other
dust or dirt, which is so very often the case with oil and petroleum lamps.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents an elevation of a lamp glass with the improvements.
Figure 2 a vertical section with the foot of the glass drawn in to fit in the ring.
Figure 3 a modification of Figure 2.
In the lampglasses in use at the present time the foot of the glass is cut off
straight and therefore rests with its whole circumference on the glass holder, while
the sides of the foot press closely against the inner side of the glass holder and so
cover the openings in the latter to the detriment of the flame.
To avoid this the foot of the glass A is provided with one or more openings a
of any convenient form or shape by which a sufficient draught and supply of
atmospheric oxygen is in all cases ensured, and which openings will not be
stopped up.
To be able to regulate this draught a ring R is fitted over these openings either
inside or outside the glass, this ring consisting of any suitable material such as
metal, glass asbestos and the like. If the ring is of metal it is provided with cuts
to compensate for any difference in the expansion of the metal and the glass
through the heat. This ring is provided with similar openings corresponding with
those of the glass; and by turning the glass relatively to the ring the openings a
can be either wholly or partially covered or uncovered and so regulate the
draught; (see Figures 2 and 3).

page_text: On the upper end of the glass another opening a³ of any convenient form is
provided to permit a secure extinguishing of the lamp, by blowing horizontally
into the glass through this opening.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is,
1. A lamp or other draught glass with one or more openings in the foot thereof
with or without a ring with corresponding openings for the regulating of the
draught substantially as specified.
2. In a lamp or other draught glass the combination with the openings in the
foot of the glass of an opening in the upper end of the glass for the extinguishing
of the flame substantially as specified.
Improvements in the Construction of Triturating Cylinders.

page_text: Improvements in the Construction of Triturating Cylinders.
I, JOHN ROBERT ALSING of 27 Leadenhall Street in the City of London
Manufacturer do hereby, declare 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 triturating-cylinders in which the lining forming the
grinding-surface is composed of removable blocks or plates, the object being to
provide an improved construction and device for the fastening of such plates, in
order that the fastening-bolts may be protected and a hard smooth and durable
surface may be obtained, leaving no crevices in which some of the material
operated upon might lodge and escape trituration, to the destruction of uniformity
in the fineness of the product.
In the accompanying drawings, fig. 1 represents a side view partly in central
section of a triturating cylinder constructed according to my present invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevation partly in section of the same. Figures 3 and 4 are details
hereinafter referred to.
•
Similar letters denote the same parts in the different views.
a is the axle on which is mounted the cylinder c of sheet iron upon the inner
surface of which the removable lining plates g are secured these are intended to
afford an extremely hard and durable grinding surface for all materials not
impaired in quality by contact with iron and is therefore inade of chilled cast
iron plates g cast in conformity with the inner surface of the cylinder and placed
together as shewn in the drawings the plates g have holes h¹ cast therein to receive
the heads of the bolts has shewn clearly in the enlarged detailed views Figs. 3
and 4-a nut is screwed on to the ends of these bolts outside the cylinder to secure
the lining plates g to the interior of the cylinder the heads h¹ of the bolts being
first turned in the position shewn at fig. 4 the end plates e being secured in the
same way thus forming an even grinding surface and further any one plate can be
detached from the outside without detaching any of the others.
The above described fastening device may be also applied to plates of other
material than cast iron such as hard wood or vulcanized fibre which latter affords a
good grinding surface for substances of medium hardness.

page_text: 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 triturating cylinder having an interior lining composed of removable sections
fastened by means of bolts and nuts secured from the exterior of said cylinder and
having a perfectly smooth interior grinding surface substantially as set forth.
