Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres for Wheels of Velocipedes and
other Vehicles, and in Rims for the same.
We, MICHELIN & CIE., of Clermont-Ferrand, in the Republic of France,
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 :-
In our application of the 11th September 1891 No. 6640 of 1892 we described
several forms of rims in which the two sides were of a gutter like section and which
received the outer tyre which tyre had enlargements on each side.
The present invention relates to another form shown in the drawing which
represents a section of the rim, the metal bands and part of the outer tyre with the
enlargements on it; the remainder of the outer tyre and the inner tyre or air tube
being omitted. a is the rim, the outer tyre, the enlargements on it and c the
metal bands.
By giving to the rim the shape shown in the drawing it results that the tension
produced by inflating the inner tyre is divided between the outer tyre and the rim.
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 that what we
claim is :-
1. The combination of a rim having a trough or gutter round it at each side, an
inner tube containing air or gas under pressure, an outer tyre consisting of a strip
having enlargements at each side fitting into recesses or angles in the troughs or
gutters and bands each fitting into one of the troughs or gutters with one side
against the side of the trough, the opposite side against the outer tyre and the
bottom against the bottom of the trough substantially as described.
2. Pneumatic tyres and rims substantially as described and shewn in the
drawings.

An Improved Electric Accumulator or Secondary Battery.
I, FRIEDRICH SCHMALHAUS, Manufacturer, of Steele, in the German Empire,
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 improved accumulator comprises a trough or receptacle divided into two or
more compartments, by means of partitions, which, together with the walls of the
receptacle, are made of (electrically) non-conducting material.
The drawing
represents an accumulator divided into two compartments by means of a perforated
double partition s, which allows the liquid to pass through the same, while solid
particles are retained. This arrangement has for its object, that any solid particles
which may have passed through one side or half of the partition, will not enter
the opposite compartment, but remain between the two sides or halves of the
partition and collect at the bottom.
Instead of lead plates, as in the Planté cell and other accumulators, I use
spongy lead, produced, for instance, by causing liquid lead to fall into water from
a certain height, the said spongy lead being first mixed with suitable lead salts,
(oxide of lead or red lead) or other suitable substances, and then placed into the
compartments.
After the compartments have been thus charged with finely divided active
material, I add the exciting liquid, preferably dilute sulphuric acid, so as to fill
the compartments to the desired height.
For connecting the terminals with the finely divided active material, I employ
(preferably) helically coiled rods b, of lead placed in the compartments, so as to
form a skeleton for the spongy lead or active porous material contained in each
compartment.
The metallic contents of each of the two or more compartments form an electrode
which is separated from the others by the non-conducting partition or partitions,
allowing only the liquid to pass.
Accumulators constructed as described, have a large surface of chemically active
material for a given weight of metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. An accumulator or secondary battery, in which the filling material or the
active mass in the cells consists, in addition to lead salts and dilute sulphuric acid
or equivalent substances, of lead sponge produced by pouring liquid lead into
water or by other means, substantially as described with reference to the drawings.
2. In accumulators or secondary batteries containing finely divided active
material in a loose condition, a trough or receptacle having walls of non-conducting
material and divided into compartments by means of a perforated double partition
or partitions, forming intermediate spaces, substantially as described, with reference
to the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Steam-boilers.
We, LEOPOLD SCHMITZ and EDUARD SCHUMANN, of the Rhine Mineral Mills,
Roisdorf, near Cologne-on-the-Rhine, in the Empire of Germany, 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 steam-boilers and has for its object to compel the fire-
gases or products of combustion to remain a longer time in the flues or fire-tubes
than heretofore, and to come into more intimate contact with the tubular walls,
and thus to more thoroughly yield their heat to the boiler, so that their heating
power may be more fully utilized.
These advantages are obtained by dividing the flue or fire-tube, by means of
transverse plates, into a number of compartments, the fire-gases being forced to
follow a spiral path through suitable openings formed in the said plates.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal central section of a fire-tube provided with
our improvements.
...
Figures 2 are vertical transverse sections on the lines a-a, b—b, · f—f,
Figure 1.
The cast or wrought iron plates a-f, which are inserted in the flue or fire-tube g
of the boiler and held at a suitable distance one from the other by the metal
rod i, compel the fire-gases proceeding from the grate; and passing over the fire-
bridge k, to impinge upon the upper wall of the fire-tube g as they pass through
the openings formed by the wall of the said fire-tube and by the plate a, and
likewise as they pass through the openings formed by the following plates b-f, thus
describing a spiral shaped way or passage along the wall of the fire-tube. The
space above the grate; and the ash-box are closed by the doors m and n.
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 that what we
claim is :-
The combination, with a boiler flue or fire-tube, of metal plates arranged therein
at suitable intervals one behind another and having openings which with the
wall of the said flue or fire-tube form a spiral way or passage for the purpose
of compelling the gases or products of combustion to assume a spiral course on
their way through such fluo or fire-tube, substantially as hereinbefore described.

A Process for Freeing Sheep's Wool from Pitch and other
:
Impurities.
We, ALEXANDER BAYER of Phalgasse 65, Brünn in the Empire of Germany
Chemist and KARL HEROLD of Zollhansglacis 29, Brünn aforesaid, 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:-
"
The process constituting this invention has for its object the chemical purification
of sheep's wool contaminated with pitch or other coloring or solid matter and
consists chiefly in soaking the woolly material in a mixture of " extract oil and
coal tar oil and drying it by centrifugal force after which the pitchy mass is
disintegrated by means of rollers and washed either with ammoniacal water (whereby
the extract oil is saponified and the coal tar oil is combined with the resulting
emulsion and finally removed) or the pitch is extracted by means of benzine.
"
The wool contaminated with pitch or other coloring or solid matter is according
to this process first thoroughly dried and heated in a suitable bath having a
temperature of 80° C. for a period of at least twelve hours. The bath consists
preferably of a mixture of equal parts of "extract "oil i.e. of the oleic acid con-
taining oily mixture or liquid bye product which is obtained in the course of the
preparation of sheep's wool, when extracting the oil from the saponified water and
of coal tar oil obtained from ordinary coal, brown coal or bituminous shale. The
wool thus soaked or impregnated is subjected to treatment in a suitable centrifugal
machine and then passed for the purpose of disintegrating the pitchy or colored
mass through two fluted rollers and is lastly thoroughly washed with ammoniacal
water or with benzine when it is subjected to an ordinary apparatus for extracting
fatty matters. The wool thus purified may be further subjected to any suitable
bleaching process.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
"
1. A process for the chemical purification of sheep's wool contaminated with
pitch or other coloring or solid matter consisting in soaking the woolly material in
a mixture of " extract oil and of coal tar oil with the aid of heat and in drying
the same by means of a centrifugal machine disintegrating the lumps containing
pitch or coloring matter between fluted or grooved rollers and in finally washing
them with ammoniacal waters or extracting the pitch or coloring matter by means
of benzine substantially as described.

A Vessel for Dispensing Oil.
I, HAROLD IMRAY of 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane in the County
of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a construction of can for dispensing oil, as will be
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view, Fig. 2 is a front view, Fig. 3 is a vertical section, Fig. 4 is
a plan, and Fig. 5 is a sectional plan of a can according to this invention.
A is a glass jar on the neck of which a metallic cover B is screwed, or it may be
otherwise fixed in an air tight manner.
This cover is made with a feeding aperture
and cap C and it has a spout H provided with a cap chained to it. The glass jar A
is enclosed within a casing D of sheet metal, preferably tin plate, which is made
with corrugations that form, as it were, buffers to prevent fracture of the glass,
should the can receive a blow. The casing D has sight holes E in its front through
which can be seen the level of the oil in the can, and the glass may be graduated
at this part to indicate various measures. The can is lifted by a bow F and canted
by a handle G so as to pour oil from the spout H.
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 can for dispensing oil, consisting of a glass vessel provided with cover, feeding
aperture and spout, and enclosed in a corrugated metal casing, made with sight
holes and furnished with bow and handle, substantially as described.

Improvements in or relating to Watch Pockets.
I, CARNABY KIRTON, of Wagner House, South Shields, in the County of
Durham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or relating to watch pockets, its
object being to prevent the theft of watches and their loss by being jerked out of
the pocket on the wearer running, jumping, or taking other violent exercise.
According to this invention I form in the outer side of the pocket a button, or
eyelet hole, the edges of which may be suitably stitched in any ornamental manner
to suit the taste of the wearer. In some cases this opening may be covered by an
ornamental plate or disc of any suitable material having an opening to coincide
with that formed in the side of the watch pocket. In use the watch guard or
chain is passed through the side of the opening in the face of the pocket instead of
out of the mouth of the pocket as hitherto. It will be seen that the watch may be
readily lifted from the pocket and examined in the ordinary manner except that
instead of drawing it out by the chain as is usually the case, the fingers are applied
to the ring or other part of the same. As the watch is drawn out of the pocket
the chain is drawn through the opening into the pocket.

Improvements in Shoot Fire Escapes.
I JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN of 2 Endell Street London W.C. Fire 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:-
To the canvas shoot or "chute" fire escape made & sold by me I now find
advantage in the adoption of an improved form of folding metal frame as shewn in
the accompanying drawings together with other improvements as follows:-
In the drawings letter A indicates the folding frame affixed immediately under
the window opening inside a room in a way which permits the entire apparatus to
be suspended in compact form when out of use and yet be easily unfolded & made
ready for service without possibility of getting wrongly placed, while the outer
part of the frame will project quite out of the window & carry the canvas clear of
the outer sill.
Across the arms of the frame I affix canvas or other material lettered B which is
continued as a kind of apron to cover the window sill & upper part of the outer
wall when the shoot is in use; and when the shoot is folded up out of use this
canvas or other cover preserves & keeps the shoot clean and compact as shewn
in Fig. 1.
I attach a rope lettered C from the lower end of the shoot to the inner part of
the frame so that a person in the room can lower children down inside the shoot by
means of this rope as shewn in Figure 3. This being intended for service when no
person is below to hold out the end of the shoot.
Having found it desirable to have some means of throttling the shoot from below
I have schemed the provision of a rope or ropes D shewn in Figures 2 & 3. I
attach these ropes D to the metal frame A and pass them through rings E attached
to the back & front of the shoot at intervals & so arranged that when a person
pulls the rope it tightens & by drawing the canvas together, throttles the aperture
& thereby controls the speed of a person within the shoot. The extent of the
throttle can be controlled by the amount of pull exerted by the person below who
holds the rope. This throttling rope also sustains a portion of the weight of the
descending person & so relieves the canvas.
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. In a shoot fire escape the folding metal frame shewn & described.
2. In a shoot fire escape the means of throttling the shoot as shewn &
described.
3. In a shoot fire escape the means by which the lower end of the shoot can be
lowered & raised by a person within the room as shewn & described.
4. In a shoot fire escape the protection cover as shewn & described.

A Solder for Aluminium.
1, ALEXIUS RÄDER, of Sorgenfrigade 1, Christiania, Captain in the Norwegian
Army, 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 solder for aluminium which can be easily and cheaply
made, is comparatively light, can be applied by soldering irons in the usual way
forming a strong and durable union, and is of the same colour as the aluminium.
For this purpose an alloy is made consisting of about 50 parts by weight of
cadmium, 20 parts of zinc, and 30 parts of tin. The mixture of the metals is
readily effected by first melting the zinc, then adding the cadmium and finally the
tin, both in fragments, and thoroughly agitating the molten mass. The proportions
of the metals may be varied within moderate limits according to the purpose for
which the solder is required. Increase in the amount of cadmium gives great
strength of union, increase of the zinc gives facility of adhesion, and increase of
the tin is conducive to polish.
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 solder for aluminium, consisting of cadmium, zinc and tin alloyed, substantially
as herein described.

An Improved Fly-paper or "Fly-board" for Catching Flies.
I, HERBERT ATKINSON, 91, Crescent Road, Reading, Berks, 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 improvement in the construction of what are commonly
termed fly-papers. The ordinary fly-paper has several objections which I overcome
in my new and improved "fly-board," for instance I avoid the folds which are apt
to develop in the ordinary fly-paper where the sticky substance instead of being
equally diffused as it should be congregates in one thick line. Consequently there
is an absence of running and dropping in my system.
I construct a mineralised board i.e. a board of card-board or other suitable material
which I mineralise (preferably) by applying a solution of alum hydronapthol and
farina paste. There are other solutions suitable for mineralising the board. The
board can be of any suitable size and when prepared is covered with a piece of
parchment or parchment paper adhering at the top and bottom to the board. To
use the board, the parchment cover should be removed at the top and pulled down-
wards when a large space will be ready to receive the flies, because the parchment
becomes sticky with the solution from the board and presents an additional surface
for catching the flies.
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
In the construction of fly-papers or "fly-boards" the use of a mineralised board
with a parchment covering.

Means for Renovating Pens.
I, CARL ANTON KOELLNER of Neumühlen near Kiel in the German Empire,
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 two devices, one for the grinding and polishing of used
pens the other for bending hammering or pressing the same.
In Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 of the drawing a is a grinding and polishing plate made of
porcelain, stone, glass, metal or other suitable material and furnished or not with
suitable grooves or recesses, semi-circular, V shaped, or serrated being preferred.
These may be either on the larger face or on the edge or edges of the plate. The
pen to be ground or polished is rubbed to and fro in one or more of the recesses so
as to grind and polish it underneath and on both edges. If it is required to polish
the slotted part of the pen the plate may also be provided with a pointed projection
(Fig. 4) on which the pen is placed by its slot and rubbed to and fro. The plate
without grooves or recesses (Fig. 1) may be used when the form of the pen allows
of it being properly ground and polished thereon. In this way a used pen may be
renovated several times so far as the grinding and polishing is concerned but after
a length of time it loses its elasticity. In order to return to it its original
elasticity the point of the pen is inserted in a recess b and bent inwards (Fig. 2)
but for the purpose of returning the elasticity to the pen it is better to employ a
bending and shaping device such as shewn in Figs. 5, 6. This consists of a stamp c
provided at top with a handle and at bottom with a projecting tee shaped stamping
part d. The stamp is guided in the stand e. The pen to be treated is laid on the
boss or anvil f so that the middle part of the stamp strikes or presses as nearly as
possible on the middle of the point of the pen in this way returning to the pen its
elasticity and proper shape, or instead of the stamp shewn in Fig. 5 a screw press
such as shewn in Fig. 7 may be employed for the same purpose.
The grinding and polishing plate a may be combined with various office requisites
such as paper weights, pen stands, stationery cases, etcetera, or with the stamp or
press.
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. For the purpose of renovating pens the grinding and polishing plate a
substantially as described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 of the drawing.
2. In combination with plate a the bending and shaping stamp or press substan-
tially as described with reference to Figs. 5, 6, or 7 and for the purpose
specified.

Improvements in Pulley Blocks.
We, DAVID ROPER of 41 Lindon, West Bromwich, in the County of Stafford,
Blacksmith, and WILLIAM HARVEY of 490 Coventry Road, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our invention has for its object improvements in pulley blocks such as are used
for shipping and other purposes. In such blocks there is considerable liability of
the pulley after some wear becoming loose and our invention is to meet this
difficulty.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect we have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which one of our pulley blocks is illustrated.
Figure 1., is a side elevation of the block complete.
Figure 2., is a view of the same block complete.
Figure 3., is a cross section through all the parts except the pin S on the
line 1-2.
Figure 4., is an end view of one of the liner blocks K.
Heretofore the hole in the pulley E has been straight but I make mine as shown
in the cross section Figure 3 with the annular swell e¹ and having the shoulder e² on
one side and the shoulder e³ on the other side. I put into this hole in the pulley
the blocks K and K' which are duplicates of each other the one from one and the
other from the opposite side. These blocks only bear against the swell e¹ in the
pulley there being a space at ea and 2 and between e² and k¹. The blocks K have
a centre hole and the bolt S is made along its body part s' of a corresponding
shape to the hole k'. The hole in each cheek A also corresponds with k¹. In other
respects I claim no novelty in the parts. The blocks may be made of any metal
and the general configuration and sizes may of course be varied to suit the purpose
for which they are required. Of course the hole in the block K may be altered
in shape with a similar effect.
Having now particularly described & 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 pulley blocks having the swelle and blocks K and K' fitted
to the same whether the hole as shown or of equivalent shape substantially as and
for the purpose and as illustrated upon the drawings.

Improvements in Electric Switches.
I, EDWARD ALFRED GIMINGHAM of The Edison and Swan United Electric
Light Company Limited, Ponders End in the County of Middlesex, 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 :-
My invention relates to a simple construction of electric switch, to be worked by
the hand applied to a button or handle.
Figs. 1 and 2 are sections on planes at right angles to one another and Fig. 3 is a
plan of a switch according to my invention worked by the hand applied to the
button or handle H.
Fig. 4 is a plan shewing the spring parts in the act of turning.
On a base B of insulating material, fitted with screw cap C and having a
stationary pin A projecting up from it, are fixed two metallic spring clips E E
connected respectively to the wires of the circuit that is to be closed or opened by
the switch.
Part of the pin A is square in section, and on each side of this square part there
is arranged a metal piece D, these two pieces being pressed against the sides of the
square by bow springs F F, and being held always at one level by pins d d which
pass through them and through a groove sunk in the square part of A. The handle
or button G of insulating material has two studs g g projecting down from it into
the space between the two pieces D D, so that when G is turned these studs cause
the pieces D D to turn also."
In the one position of the parts, as shown in Fig. 3, the ends of the pieces D are
engaged in the spring clips E closing the circuit. On turning G in the direction of
the arrow (Fig. 3) the pieces DD having to turn round the square part of A become
separated until they bear on the angles of the square as shewn in Fig. 4, then they
make a rapid movement onwards to a position away from the clips E E, the circuit
thus being opened.
In order to keep the button or handle G in place when the cover C is removed, it
has fixed to it a disc H and over this is slid a slotted key K along a groove in the
pin A. In switches of large size, rollers may be mounted in the axis A projecting

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 to produce a chenille intended to be used for
ladies' or children's hats in such a manner, that it may either form a part of the
plaiting of the hat or may be applied to the hat as posementry or trimming.
The said chenille is produced in an ordinary chenille machine from hemp threads
or bands and wire, the hemp threads or bands forming the ornamental threads of
the chenille, whilst the wire serves to fasten the said threads and stiffen the chenille.
The hemp and wire are wound spirally, preferably around one or more guide
threads of cotton or silk which serve as cores for the hemp tufts and wire
spirals.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings, showing two different patterns of the
chenille, marked with letters of reference indicating like parts in the figures.
Fig. 1 shows the employment of hemp bands a' and Fig. 2 of a tuft of hemp
threads a² to be wound spirally with the wire b, around the guide thread or core c,
the wire holding the hemp bands or threads fast in their position and serving at
the same time for the stiffening of the chenille.
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-
1st. A. chenille, produced by an ordinary chenille machine, consisting partly of
a number of tufts of hemp threads or hemp bands and partly of a wire, the hemp
as well as the wire being wound spirally and the thread or core in the inner spiral
serving as a guide thread or support, substantially as set forth.
2nd. In chenille of the kind specified in the preceding claim, one or more guide
threads of cotton or silk as core for the said spirals formed partly of wire and
partly of hemp tufts, substantially as set forth.

triple expansion pumping engine operated by steam.
Fig. 1 on the drawing is a longitudinal elevation and Fig. 2 an end elevation of
an engine constructed according to the invention.
There are three steam cylinders, 3, 4, and 5; steam enters No. 3 and from
No. 3 it passes to No. 4 and from No. 4 to No. 5 in the usual manner well
understood.
A is a crank shaft which is carried in bearings in the A frames B and B and
on which are keyed the flywheels C and C¹ and which crank shaft A is driven by
means of the cranks D, D', and D. The cranks D, D', and D" are placed at
angles of 120 degrees apart from each other, and are operated from the pistons of
the cylinders 3, 4, and 5, through the piston rods E, E', and E", the cross-
heads F, F, and F, and the connecting rods G, G', and G respectively.
Each of the cylinders 3, 4, and 5 is provided with a slide valve and expansion
valve of the ordinary construction, or, in lieu of the slide valve, any known form of
valve or valves.
The valves are worked through the eccentric rods H, H', and HI", by means of
the eccentrics, I, I, and I" on the shaft K, which shaft is driven from the crank
shaft A by means of the spur wheels L and L', and the idle wheel M or equivalent
motion.
From the steam pistons, the rods N, N¹, and N" are carried through the bottom
of the steam cylinder to the plungers O, O' and O" of the pumps P, P, and P
respectively.
The pumps may be of the ordinary form of plunger pump.
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 :-
:―
