Double-tyred Equilibrious Bicycle or Tricycle.
We, ROBERT JOHN PEAT SPENCE, Balzarrow House, Letham, Collessie, Fife,
Civil Engineer and ROBERT STORRAR, Letham, Collessie, Fife, Saddler do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for a double tyred equilibrious bicycle or
tricycle and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The bicycle is to be made with a back wheel Fig. A having two rims, r, and two
tyres, t, each having a set of spokes, 3, and a hub, h. The back cog wheel c for
driving is to be placed between the two parts of this double hub, the whole being
firmly joined together by bolts or rivets, b, or otherwise. The whole of the back
wheel is thus, as it were, formed of two ordinary bicycle wheels, fixed rigidly side
by side, moving on one axis, and driven with a chain and small cog wheel from the
centre, with ball bearings at each end of the axis and in the centre if necessary.
The bicycle is thus in stable equilibrium when standing unsupported.
The front wheel may be either an ordinary bicycle wheel, or it may be made
with two or more tyres close together and the spokes and hub as in an ordinary
bicycle wheel, one metal rim, r, Fig. B, being made with two or more corrugations
to fit the two or more tyres, t, Fig. B.
The seat and all other parts are arranged similarly to those of any ordinary
safety bicycle.
The back wheel may be also made with a single metal rim r, Fig. B, and two or
more tyres t, Fig. B farther apart than those of the front wheel, but in this case it
would have to be driven from the side. Or either of the wheels may be made with
a broad tyre bearing on the ground at two or more points.
The two parts of the back wheel might be allowed to revolve separately, in
which case the machine would be a tricycle mounted and arranged as a bicycle.
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) For the back wheel of a bicycle, the introduction of a double-tyred, double-
rimmed, double-spoked and double-hubbed wheel as above described, so as to allow
the bicycle to stand unsupported.
(2) For the back wheel of a bicycle, the introduction of a single-rimmed wheel
with two or more tyres or of a wheel with single rim and single tyre, the latter
bearing at two or more points on the ground.
(3) The driving of the back wheel from the centre thus equalising the pressure
on the balls while working.
(4) For the front wheel, a wheel exactly as described in (2) of this claim.
(5) The whole bicycle provided with wheels as above described, so far as not to
infringe patent rights already existing for other details of the machine.
(6) The arrangement of the machine as a tricycle mounted as a bicycle, by
allowing the two parts of the back wheel to revolve separately.

I, JOHN GRAHAM, of 4 Chestnut Square, in the City of Boston State of
Massachusetts, United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention, and in what manuer the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained, in and by the following statement :-
My compound is fluid and is adapted to be used in connection with some
absorbent material, preferably fire proof, like asbestos, and is to be used for blue
lights, to burn in the open air for signal lights, flash lights, or for illuminating
purposes. It is produced as follows:
Take 320 grains of powdered zinc and 80 grains of powdered selenium; mix in
one gallon pure disulphide of carbon.
This compound will remain unchanged for a long time and is not explosive
although highly inflammable and difficult to extinguish.
I prefer to use it in the following manner: Fill a wire or other suitable open
work receptacle with asbestos or some other absorbent material, then saturate the
same with my compound and ignite.
The proportions of zinc and selenium may be varied to a considerable extent and
yet produce a good result. In some cases the zinc may be omitted and a larger
proportion of selenium used or some material analogous to zinc might be used.
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 :-
The herein described composition of matter to be used for producing colored
lights, consisting of zinc, or its equivalent, selenium, and disulphide of carbon, in
the proportions specified.

Improvements in Card-rollers for Napping Machines.
I, HERMANN SCHIEDGES, Machine Maker of 6 Monheimsallee, Aix-la-Chapelle,
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 :-
The present invention relates to the securing of teasels or cards to napping-
machine rollers, whereby a tearing or rending engagement of the same is avoided
and an even surface-raising or roughening is secured.
To this end, natural teasels, having their points cut off or trimmed so far as to
form an even cylindrical surface or disc-shaped artificial cards of metal, are slipped
loosely one after another on wires a in such manner that they may turn easily
thereon (Fig. 3).
The card-wires or cords, so obtained, are then spirally wound round roller cores o
consisting of straight tubes and the wires a are secured to two discs c mounted on
the pipe-ends.
In order to give such card-wires a firmer hold, when thus spirally wound on the
cores, one or more sheet-metal strips e, perpendicular to the periphery of the pipe,
are wound spirally on the latter, but in the opposite direction to the card-wires, and
provided with notches f in their outer edges in which the wires a are laid (Fig. 3).
The cards, being mounted so as to rotate on the wires, have a very supple and
resilient contact with the surface of the fabric.
It should also be noted that the supporting sheet-metal strips e of the card-
spirals, act as wings, during the rotation, so as to create a draught or air-current,
which, to a greater or less extent, cleanses the cards.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A teasel or card roller for napping-machines in which uniform and resilient
surface-roughening of the fabric is effected by means of cards natural or artificial
slipped loosely on wires spirally wound on roller-cores.
2. A teasel or card roller for napping machines substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Reflector Gas Stoves.
We, THOMAS FLETCHER of Thynne Street, Warrington, in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer of Gas Apparatus, WILLIAM RUSSELL of Scotia
Foundry, Pendleton, in the County of Lancaster, Iron Founder, and FLETCHER
RUSSELL & Co. LIMITED of Thynne Street, Warrington in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturers of Gas Apparatus and Iron Founders, 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 that type of reflector gas stoves in which there is a.
series of flames or gas jets arranged below a deflector plate.
As these deflector plates are usually constructed, the heat communicated to them.
is quickly dissipated, and it is the object of this invention to prevent this dissipation
of heat, so that the plate may be raised to a very high temperature and be main-
tained at such a temperature so long as the stove is in use, for the special purpose
of increasing the proportion of radiant heat.
For the purpose of our invention, we may employ a metallic deflector plate
next to the Hames or jets, and above it a good nou-conductor of heat, such for
example, as a firebrick tile or the like. Or we may construct the deflector as a
shallow box enclosing air, which acts as a heat non-conductor, or employ other
equivalent means for preventing the dissipation of the heat communicated to the
deflector.
In order that our invention may be more readily understood, we have hereto
appended a sheet of drawings in which a stove provided with one form of our
improved deflector plate is shown in vertical section.
A is the stove casing containing the reflector B and provided with a gas burner C
above which is arranged the deflector plate D which is so formed as to be a poor
conductor of heat. In the form shown the deflector consists of two metallic
plates E, E 1, having interposed between them a plate or layer of a heat insulating
material F, such for example as asbestos. The composite plate is secured to the
stove casing in any suitable manner so that the products of combustion from the
burner pass under and over it on their way to the flue G.
In a modified form the deflector may consist of a metallic plate, combined with!
and above which is a firebrick tile or the like. Or we may construct the deflector
as a shallow box enclosing air which acts as a heat non-conductor, or other non-
conductors may be similarly employed in combination with metallic plates in order
to prevent the dissipation of the heat communicated to them.
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 :-
In reflector gas stoves, a non-conducting deflector plate constructed and arranged
substantially as hereinbefore described.

I KARL REINHARD LANG, Teacher, of Falkenstein in Voigtland Kingdom of
Saxony 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 accompanyings is represented an improved cover for receiving school
books and the like which latter are held attached within the cover.
Figs. 1 and 2 show a plan view and a section respectively of such cover or part
of the same.
Fig. 3 illustrates in perspective view a book enclosed by the cover.
Through the back A. of a strong piece of card-board B folded in book form, is
passed a steel-wire C in such a manner as to protrude partly in front and partly on
the back of the card-board as shown in Fig. 2.
The upper end of this steel wire is as can be seen in said Fig. 2 turned
downwards and the lower end is turned upwards so as to afford means for holding
an inserted book by spring power.
The outer face of the cover is then fitted with a covering of thinner board E
to render the steel wire invisible on the back or outside.
The advantage of this cover is that it encloses tightly the inserted book and
allows at the same time of an easy releasing of the same and of the insertion of
other books as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A book cover consisting of card-board folded in book form through the back
bend of which is passed a steel wire turned downwards above and upwards below
so as to provide means for fixing an inserted book by the spring power thus
provided.

An Improvement in Miners' Safety Lamps.
We, JOHN HEATH, Mining Engineer, and WILLIAM FROST, Under Manager,
both of Sneyd Colliery, Burslem, Staffordshire, 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 various types of miners safety lamps in which a shield or bonnet is employed
to protect the gauze hood, have always been liable to a danger, as many actual
instances have occurred of lamps being inadvertently taken down the mine
without the gauze hood on which the whole safety of the lamp depends.
Our invention relates to an improved construction of lamp in such a manner that
is impossible to put the lamp together without the protective gauze hood, as we
shall describe referring to the accompanying drawing which is a vertical section of
a lamp constructed according to our invention.
We attach the gauze hood H securely to a stepped screwed ring A the upper
part of which has a diameter less than that of the lower part. The top of the
lamp, or shield B, and the bottom C are made of such diameters and provided with
female threads as to respectively fit and screw on to the upper and lower parts of
the ring A. This ring therefore forms the means of connecting the lamp top,
shield, and bonnet B to the bottom of the lamp, and as the gauze hood is attached
rigidly thereto, it ensures the gauze hood being placed in position before using the
lamp.
The ring A is prevented from being unscrewed from the bottom by the catch D
which is automatically held in position by the top or shield B, the whole being
locked by the lead lock E or other suitable means.
It will be obvious that the threads of the ring A might be of the same diameter
but we prefer to construct them as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In a miners safety lamp connecting the shield or hood to the lower part of
the lamp by means of a stepped screwed ring to which the gauze hood is rigidly
attached, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
2. The use for miners safety lamps of a ring such as A to which the gauze hood
is permanently fixed, and which has two screw threads, adapted respectively for the
attachment of the shield and of the bottom, substantially as described.

I, ALBERT KERN of No. 25 Burtscheiderstrasse Aachen, in the Empire of
Germany Manufacturer of Cards, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the production of black and bright hardened steel
wire in alternate places or lengths, and consists in intermittently plunging the
wire at regular intervals as it issues in a glowing condition from the heating.
chamber partly without any contact with the air into the cooling liquid and partly
in bringing it with a view to oxidation in contact with the air previous to plunging
it into the cooling liquid.
For this purpose the vessel A with the cooling liquid is separated from the
heating apparatus B and the first or the second of these two, or both of them
together, is or are set in motion (in the latter case in opposite directions) to and
fro in the longitudinal direction of the wire, whereby the point of exit of the
wire from the heating chamber and the point of entry of the wire into.
the cooling fluid, may, intermittently, approach to and recede from one another.
This hardening process is of particular importance in the production and use of
card wire. The lengths of the alternate black and bright hardened wire-pieces,.
must at the same time, be so arranged that the card-teeth produced from such
wire, in the lower parts, where the wire lies in the base of the card-clothing, are
better protected by the black hardening process against oxidation, while the upper
parts, which come in contact with the wool, etc., on the carding engines (i.e. the
carding teeth) are bright hardened, by which means the spinning operation
proceeds more easily and favourably.
The alternately black and bright steel wire thus combine the advantageous
properties of both kinds of wire, when practically employed.
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
A process for the production of continuous metallic wire tempered in alternate-
black and bright lengths the wire on leaving the heating chamber being partly
transferred direct into the cooling liquid and partly passing into the cooling liquid
after oxidation by first passing through the air, these two portions of the process
taking place alternately by bringing together and separating the heating chamber
and the vessel containing the cooling liquid as the wire is passing through them.
from one to another.

1, PROSPER VANHASSEL, of Gilly, in the Kingdom of Belgium, 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 a brake pulley for inclined planes and will be described
making reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a view in
side elevation of a pulley constructed according to this invention and Figure 2 is a
sectional view in plan thereof.
Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
Mounted in suitable bearings on a framing composed of two flat steel bars A, A,
is a single or one grooved pulley X which is intended to replace the ordinary twin
or two grooved pullies. This pulley is fixed to a shaft or axle adapted to rotate
in cap bearings a, a, fixed to the aforesaid flat bars A, A. The bars A, A, forming
the framing are provided with suitable plates a, a, adapted to engage with the
sides of the rim of the pulley X to brake or retard its rotation.
In order to allow of the said plates a¹, a¹, being brought into engagement with
the sides of the rim of the pulley two double screws B, B, each having right-
handed and left-handed threads are threaded into nuts b, b, mounted on the
bars A, A, one on each side of the pulley X-as shown by the drawing, so that
when the screws B, B, are rotated the two bars of the framing are caused to
approach or recede from each other so as to brake or stop the wheel or allow the
same to rotate.
Two levers C, C, for operating the screws B, B, are provided which are con-
nected together by a cross-piece c, and one lever is constantly drawn in one direction
by means of a spring e so that the brake is normally on.
This pulley has the following advantages :-
(1.) It ensures much greater security and certainty of operation than other
types.
(2.) The person in charge is free to stand either on the right or on the left
hand, and thus always be protected from risk of contact with the empty truck,
and
(3.) It is much more easily manipulated and controlled; so that the work of
operating the same is considerably lessened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) The improved brake pulley, substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
(2.) In a brake pulley for inclined planes, utilizing the bars of the framing as
brake-jaws and operating the said bars by two double-screws coupled together by
levers, as and for the purpose set forth.

Improved Suspensory Bandage.
I, GUSTAV EICHHORN, of 8 Hauptstrasse, Bielitz, Silesia, in the Empire of
Austria, Truss 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 :-
A defect in the suspensory bandages hitherto used has consisted in the liability
of the testicles when the wearer was stooping, jumping, etcætera, to slip under the
band at the thigh, under the edge at the side or through the hole for the penis, and
probably to get squozen there, and above all in the insufficiency of protection
afforded to the testicles.
The subject of the present invention is a suspensory bandage which is formed in
such a way that whilst completely enclosing and protecting the scrotum, prevents
it from slipping out or being squozen or strangled when the wearer is stooping,
jumping, etcætera.
The accompanying drawing shews my improved form of suspensory bandage.
It will be seen that the bag a at the open part at the back is formed of the edges or
borders extending upwards from the left to the right, and if we picture to
ourselves the bag as closed it will have a bow shaped edge at d, and above this the
hole for the penis will be located with a concave outline. In consequence of this
conformation of the bag the scrotum is perfectly enclosed in same, and in this
suspensory bandage the thigh bands bare sewn to the corner formed by the lines d
and c so that after the thigh bands are fastened to the belt e the scrotum is
completely enclosed also from behind by the bag a.
In order to prevent the scrotum from slipping out at the hole intended for the
penis the size of this hole can be varied which is effected by the material at the hole
being turned back so as to form a plait g into which a tape f is passed. By drawing
this tape tight and tying it the hole for the penis can be made narrower by which
means the scrotum is prevented from slipping through the hole at which the
penis protrudes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A suspensory bandage comprising a bag a which completely encloses the scrotum.
and prevents the latter from slipping out at the back or side and also the squeezing or
strangulation of the testicles, the thigh bands 6 for securing same in position and
the tape and plait or fold g through which the tape passes to enable the hole / for-
the penis to be contracted and prevent the slipping out of the testicles at this part
substantially as described.

collar, three different shapes have been made: 1st) one which will be bent a little
at the top, to protect that part of the collar mentioned above; 2nd) one which
will be bent in the middle for the bottom part of the collar and 3) one which will
be straight for the middle part of the collar. All these three different shapes of
protector will be made in pairs.

I, DANIEL SMITH of 17, Caroline Place Moscow Road, Bayswater Coal Dealer
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 of a metal plate to be adjusted to the pipe of the collar,
so as to protect the collar in certain places and prevent it being injured by the
friction of the reins, sbafts and the like, and can be made to fit any part of the
pipe of the collar-vide Figure I on drawing.
These plates or protectors can be manufactured of any metal to suit the taste,
and can be made either plain lacquered or plated and the like. They are fixed to
the collar by means of a metal tube with a screw at each end, and the tube is small
enough, when one screw is removed, to pass through one hole of the plate or
protector and thence through the pipe of the collar, and is met by the other screw
passing through the opposite hole of the plate, and thus screwed up tight to the
collar. Fig. II shows the tube with screws-or the plates can be rivetted on to
the collar by metal rivets passing through from one side to the other.
Fig. III represents collar with two protectors fitted on to pipe.

I connect the lower end of this air tube with a reservoir of compressed air provided
with suitable regulating valve.
In burning the lamp, the jets of air froin the cap of the air tube meeting the
lower part of the flame a little above the top of the wick cause the flame to be of
the character of a Bunsen gas flame, which may be use for heating an incan-
descent mantle or for any other purpose for which such a flame may be
applicable.

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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in shirt collars and the like, which consists
of tape or other suitable material attached to the end of an ordinary shirt collar in
such a manner that the space between forms a loop, through which a cravat can be
passed in tying a sailors knot, four-in-hand bow, or puff scarf, so as to effectually
hold it in its place without the use of pins and to prevent its slipping in any
direction.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceeit
to described the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is an end elevation of an ordinary shirt collar.
Fig. 2, is a plan of Fig. 1.
At or near the end of an ordinary shirt collar a, I construct a loop formed of
tape or of any other suitable material, and I fix the end d of loop b by sewing (or
otherwise) it in or on the material of the collar a with the other end c of the
said loop fixed on the collar as in Fig. 1.
The object of this invention is to pass a cravat e through the loop 6 in order to
prevent its slipping after the knot has been tied.
If preferable the said loop & may be attached to the end of the aforesaid shirt.
collar either by sewing cotton or by metallic fasteners, or the loop b may be of
any other suitable shape than what is shown on the drawing.
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

Improvements in Covers for the Spindle and Bobbin Shaft Gearing
of Slubbing, Intermediate, and Roving Frames employed in the
Preparation of Fibrous Materials for Spinning.
I, ROBERT TAYLOR Junior of Asa Lees and Company Limited, of Soho Iron
Works, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, 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 improvements in covers for the spindle and bobbin shaft
gearing of slubbing, intermediate and roving frames employed in the preparation of
fibrous materials for spinning, and my improvements consist in flanging such covers
at the edges so as to obtain increased strength whereby I am enabled to make them
of a lighter material than usual.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which is a sectional elevation of part
of a slubbing, intermediate or roving frame fitted with my improved covers,
a designates the spindles on which are secured the bevel pinions b which are driven
as usual by the skew gears c, and d are the bobbins which are loose on the spindles
and are driven as usual by the bevel pinions e and skew gears f. To the lower
fixed bearing rail 9 are secured brackets g' and to the upper bobbin or lifting
rail h are secured brackets h¹ which brackets g¹ h¹ carry respectively the improved
covers i and j.
The top cover i according to my invention is flanged at each edge, that "
nearest the roller beam I prefer to flange upward as shown in order to prevent
empty bobbins when placed on the cover i from rolling off it on that side and
the other edge is preferably flanged downward as shown.
The lower cover j is preferably made in two parts as usual and the outer
edges are flanged downward while the contiguous edges at 2 may either be left
plain as shown or flanged downward at right angles to the cover if preferred.
It is obvious that the covers may be flanged at one edge only; but I prefer
to flange the top cover on both edges and the lower cover on one edge only
in the manner illustrated by the drawing.
By the use of my improved flanged covers I require fewer supporting brackets
and so further diminish weight whereby less power is required for reciprocating the
bobbin rail.
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 improved covers made with flanges substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth.
