Our improved sawing machine consists of a cast iron frame a supporting, by
means of the brackets b, the cutting table or bench c, which is provided a 'ound its
outer edges, with a series of T-shaped grooves d for guides or fences such e, and
is surmounted by a hood or guard o which shields the operator from the circular
SAW S.
This saw is mounted upon the shaft g which can be displaced laterally, and
carries a pulley g', gearing by means of a cross, belt u, with the driving drum t, to.
which a motion is imparted by the driving-belt passing over the fast pulley v¹;
being a loose pulley. The shaft g is carried by the carriage h, which is provided
with the wheels i, whereby it may roll upon a path formed on the top of the
frame a; this carriage is further provided with handles m. m³, whereby it may
be shifted by hand to feed the saw to the log L. Chains or cords n' n¹ are
attached to each end of the carriage h and pass over guiding rollers n, being
furnished at their free extremities with weights n³. These chains or cords have
for their object, to bring the carriage back after the log L has been cut, into its
initial position, ready for another operation.
The carriage is provided with a hollow frame k bolted thereto and recessed at
the top to receive the packing 1; this frame having the form of a shoot, within
which the circular saw blade turns and through which the saw-dust formed, is
carried away.
The packing has for its object to steady the saw, and to prevent the same
from being damaged by the grain of the wood, or by knots.
The logs L to be sawn, are adjusted in position on the bench_c by means of
guides or fences e as usual, these guides being provided with T-shaped slots,.
whereby they may be connected with other guides or fences such as r, (Figs. 3
and 4.) for the purpose of cutting mitre or other shaped pieces.
The top of the cutting table or bench c is formed of removeable slotted
plates f
As the drum t revolves, the belt u travels to and fro thereon, which releases to
a large extent the tension on the said belt.
The shaft upon which the drum and the pulleys v. v are mounted, is
carried by the hangers or brackets y, fixed underneath the flooring F. z is a slit
formed in the table and in the fence e, to allow the saw s to travel.

Improvements in Heating Apparatus.
I, OTTO SCHULZE of 44 Rathenowerstrasse Berlin, in the German Empire,
Merchant, 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 combined heating apparatus and oven, effecting
advantageous distribution and consequent utilization of the heating gases.
In order that my invention may be better understood, I now proceed to describe
the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and
figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 is a front elevation of the oven both in
section and after partial removal of the shell or mantle.
Figures 3 and 4 show sections according to the lines A B and C D.
The construction and action of this new oven are as follows.
The oven consists of the lower part U containing the fire place, and the heat
distributor V, consisting of various parts, elements, or drums e. These elements or
drums e are of flat cylindrical shape and have two openings on each side
(Figures 3 and 4) for the guiding tubes d (Figures 1, 3 and 4) which are designed
to give greater stability to the oven. The elements or drums e have two further
openings alternately on each of the upper and lower sides, to receive the short
pipes ს.
The heating gases pass from the compartment F into the tube a (Figure 2), and
through this into the first element or drum e, where they distribute themselves and
pass through the first short pipe b (situated on the left side in Figure 1) into the
second element or drum e. From there the gases rise through the second short
pipe & on the right hand side into the third element or drum e, and so on into the
exit c, as shown by the arrows in Figure 1.
b
By the alternate position of the pipes a regular distribution of the heating
gases in the elements or drums is obtained in a simple manner and the drums e are
therefore utilized as much as possible.
The number of the elements or drums may be increased according to requirement,
and the size of the furnace.
The drumse are surrounded by the grating 9 (Figure 2) which renders the
appearance of the oven more ornamental.
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 heating apparatus for the advantageous distribution and utilization of the
heating gases, consisting of a series of elements, parts, or drums connected to one
another by alternate tubes, and which by means of a tube, receive the heating
gases from the furnace, and utililize them by advantageous distribution substan-
tially as described.

I JOSEPH ALFRED FISHER of Dock House, Billiter Street, London, General'
Manager and Secretary of The United Asbestos Company, Limited, 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 relates to packing in which a metallic wearing surface is used in
combination with a wearing face and backing of asbestos, hemp, or other suitable
fibrous, woven, or textile material and the object is to provide a more efficient and
durable packing than heretofore.
The invention consists essentially in the combination of fibrous, woven, or textile
material with soft metal facing pieces held in position by clips or fasteners passing.
into or through textile material and turned down at the ends.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are transverse sections of packing under my invention, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a facing piece. a is the core of fibrous material..
bare facing pieces of soft metal made with studs which pass through the core a
and are bent over at the ends whereby the facing pieces and core are firmly secured
together. d is the fibrous, woven, or textile backing and facing. In Figs. 1 and 2.
which represent square and round packing respectively, the studs c are central and
pass through the centre of the core. In Figs. 3 and 4 the studs are at the edges
of the facing piece and are clenched round the core.
Fig. 5 is a transverse section and Fig. 6 a longitudinal section of packing in.
which the packing is made in layers and the ends of the facing pieces are passed
through the top layer and are bent over either inwardly as shown or outwardly so
as to be secure. In the above views, the facing pieces are in parallel straight
lines.
Fig. 7 is a face view of packing in which facing pieces similar to those shown
and described in Figs. 5 and 6 are placed both parallel to the length of the packing
and diagonally, some of the pieces as shown at 6' have the ends bent outwards..
The fibrous or other backing is made in any usual or suitable way.
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 I am well
aware that it has been proposed to use piston rod and like packing having a
metallic wearing face in combination with a wearing surface of asbestos or other
fibrous material and I lay no general claim to such construction-but what I
claim is :-
The combination of metallic facing pieces with fibrous, textile or woven material
substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Commutator Brushes for Dynamos or Electric
Motors.
A communication by CHARLES L. COFFIN, of Detroit, in the County of Wayne
and State of Michigan, United States of America, Chemist.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, & 6 Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex, Civil 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 consists in an improvement in commutator brushes for dynamos or
electric motors.
The invention will be understood from the following description, reference being
had to the accompanying drawings, in which-
Figure 1 is a plan view of a commutator showing one brush and a portion of the
brush-holding mechanism, and
Figure 2 a detail perspective view of a brush embodying this invention.
In these drawings
C represents the commutator of a dynamo or motor; R the rocker arm which
carries the brush-holders, one of which is shown at H; and S represents a set screw
which clamps the brush in the holder H. All of these parts are old and well known
and form no part of the present invention.
B represents the improved brush, consisting of a thin sheet of metal, preferably
copper, perforated as shown at P. The perforations P are preferably staggered, as
shown, as this causes the end of the brush to wear better, but they may of course
be in regular lines. The perforations P permit the access of air to the interior of
the brush and prevent the overheating which is such a great defect in brushes as
ordinarily made.
In practice, each brush will be made up of a number of thin perforated strips, as
shown in Figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion 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 :-
A commutator brush consisting of a strip or strips of perforated sheet metal.

An Improved System of Toothed or Raok-rail.
I AUGUSTE RAZE, Managing Director of the Société Anonyme de la Fabrique
de fer d'Ongrée at Ongrée in the Kingdom of Belgium, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved system of toothed or rack-rail.
This improved rack-rail is formed either of angle-irons, or of angle-irons and
plates rolled and juxtaposed, connected by rivets or bolts, and in which the teeth are
cut or formed.
On the accompanying drawing :-
:-
Figure 1 is a lateral view and Figure 2 a plan view with transverse section of the
rack-rail.
Figures 3 and 4 are plan and side views and transverse sections of the rack-rail
formed of angle-irons and of plates.
The rack-rail is formed of two angle-irons a, a, Fig. 2, juxtaposed and connected
by bolts or rivets c, when no great resistance is required; it is strengthened by one
or several metallic plates d, interposed between these angle-irons, Fig. 3, when
greater resisting power is demanded.
The number of plates d, to be interposed between the angle-irons a, a, is indefinite;
it depends upon the degree of strength or resistance required.
The rack-rail is fixed to the sleepers of the way, whether these sleepers are made
of wood or of metal, by the aid of the horizontal arms or flanges b of the angle-irons,
and by any of the known means.
Between the sleeper and the rack-rail pieces of various forms may be introduced
to regulate the height of the rack in relation to the way.
The fastening to the sleepers may also be strengthened by extending the inter-
posed plates below the horizontal arms 6 of the angle-irons, Fig. 4, and using
these plates d as fastening points, at the sleepers.
The angle-irons and plates instead of being juxtaposed may be placed at a certain
distance apart from each other.
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 toothed or rack-rail formed of the combination of two juxtaposed angle-irons,
with or without the interposition of metallic plates, and in which the teeth
are cut.

THOMAS EDWIN BICKLE Great Western Docks Plymouth Devon Mechanical
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in a mechanical toy based on the principle of the
persistance of images on the retina of the eye.
According to my invention I mount a card or similar surface so that it is capable
of rotation round an axes in its plane. I provide a twisted elastic spring or other
suitable means for producing the rotation, and an escapement for controlling the
motion in such a way that the card is brought to rest twice in every revolution, so
as to present its faces alternately to the observer. On the faces of the card I depict
any pictures or designs exhibiting some action or motion in two phases, which are
thus alternately presented to the eye in rapid succession with small intervals of rest,
producing on the eye the effect of motion. The same means may obviously be
applied to expose more than two pictures during each revolution by using a
prismatic picture surface, and modifying the escapement to correspond.

A Pocket Spittoon.
I, JEAN KOEHLER, of Freiburg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden and German
Empire, Doctor of Medicine, 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 effectively combat the spread of infectious
diseases by overcoming the danger of infection due to the mucous substances given
off by the sufferer. The spittoon designed for this purpose has the form of a cigar
case and is made waterproof of combustible material such as card board. It
consists of two parts A and B which fit into one another. The inner part B has a
funnel shaped spittoon pocket C with a slot S which is closed normally but which
opens when the pocket is pressed at the sides.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the spittoon.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the funnel C with the slot S.
Figure 3 is a plan of the funnel C with the slot S closed, and
Figure 4 is a plan of the funnel C with the slot S opened.
The various attempts hitherto made to render as harmless as possible the mucous
substances carrying the bacillus and thus to prevent infection have hitherto given
no satisfactory result. This is due to the fact that it has not been considered
necessary to provide the sufferer with a receptacle for the mucous substances, which
he can have with him everywhere and at all times, being easily portable and which
can be used without drawing attention to the user.
When the device is to be used the sufferer takes the case or pocket in his hand
and presses on the narrow sides of the same. By this action the slot S and part B
open sufficiently wide to allow of the passage of the mucous substance thrown off
by the user, which then falls into the lower part of the receptacle. When the
pressure ceases the pocket regains its normal form, the slot S is closed automatically
and the part A is then replaced over the part B.
When the lower part of the pocket B is full, the spittoon with its contents is
burned in the fire, which is the best means to prevent infection and to kill the
bacillus.
It requires no further explanation to show that this invention is of great hygienic
importance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed,. I declare that what I
claim is :-
A spittoon in pocket form made of waterproof, combustible and elastic material
consisting of two parts A and B, one fitting over the other, the inner part B having
a funnel shaped spittoon pocket, the lower slot S of which is firmly closed and is
opened during use by pressure on the sides of the part B.

as follows:-
A lever-box consisting of a box casting having the pin or fulcrum for the bell
crank cast in one piece with it and having a special attachment to the lever
consisting of a sliding bolt or wedge which can be dropped into the side of a sector
of special form to adapt the said lever for working points either self acting for
either hand or by with-drawing the bolt or wedge to enable the lever to be used as
a throw over or shunting lever, further by the application of another bolt or wedge
acting upon the said sector to prevent the lever being worked at all. Padlocks can
be applied to prevent the lever being changed from one hand to the other also to
prevent the withdrawing of the bolt by unauthorized hands.

An Improvement in Lever Boxes for Actuating Railway Switches.
I SAMUEL JAMES SUMMERSON of Albert Hill Foundry, Darlington Manu-
facturer of Railway Material 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 lever box consists of a box (6) having the fulcrum pin (f) for the crank (c)
forming part of the same casting as the said box. A sector (*) in conjunction with
a lever (1) so constructed that it can be readily attached to the said lever by the
catch (t) and the bolt (a) or released therefrom without removing the catch from
the lever, thus enabling it to be worked either as a "self acting" lever, always
bringing the points back to their original position, or as a "throw over" lever, leaving
the points in the position in which the shunter has last placed them. A wedge (10)
is provided which passing through the cheeks of the box bears upon the sector (s)
on the one side or the other, as required and is drilled at the small end to enable a
padlock to be attached whereby the lever is made inoperative except at the instance
of authorized persons.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) A lever box having the fulcrum pin for the crank forming part of the same
casting as the box substantially as shown.
(2) A lever box having a lever & sector of special construction to enable the
lever to be changed from "self-acting" to "throw over" and vice versa in the
manner described & explained above.
(3) A lever box having a method of locking the lever to make it inoperative
by the introduction of a wedge acting upon the sector as described and explained
above.

Improvements in Life Saving Apparatus in Case of Fire.
We MICHAEL SCHWARZ of Albrechtstr., Dresden, in the German Empire,
Engineer, and GEORG TISCHER and ALFRED VOGELSANG both of Freiberger-
strasse in the same place, Machine 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the life saving apparatus described in
Patent Specification No. 4478 of 1891. The object of the invention is to render
the apparatus more efficient, more convenient in shape and more easily handled.
Referring to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is an outside view of the
apparatus, and Figs. 2 and 3 respectively a sectional and a part sectional view of
the same,
it consists in the provision within a circular or cylindrical casing G of
fixed sheave like cross pieces or cross bars placed one below the other at distances
apart suitable to the thickness of the rope A instead of the revolving rollers g of
Patent Specification No. 4478 of 1891. Of the three cross pieces 1, 2, 3 the
middle one 2 is cast in one piece with its corresponding part of the casing G
whilst 1 and 3 are made separate from the casing and afterwards firmly fixed in the
same. For the purpose of this method of construction the casing G is composed
of the several separate parts 4, 5, 6 which are fixed together by screws 7, 8, 9, 10
each of the parts carrying a fixed sheave like cross piece or cross bar. By this
arrangement of the friction bars 1, 2, 3, the velocity of the rope A with the person
that may be saving himself or herself is diminished as compared with the velocity
when the revolving rollers are used.
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 life saving apparatus in case of fire, of the kind referred to, the provision of
fixed friction bars 1, 2, 3 in casing G and the construction of said- casing in a
circular or cylindrical form, for the purpose specified substantially as described and
shewn.

a hole in the boss with a hemispherically rounded bottom, and also to leave a round
pin cast across the hole in a position central or nearly so with the hemispherical
bottom. The handle, which as usual is a taper tube, is made with a narrow tongue
projecting from its end, which being forced into the hole in the boss becomes
bent by the rounded bottom around the cross pin which it embraces thus firmly
securing the handle in the hole of the boss.

WILLIAM FILSHIE of Boness Road Grangemouth in the County of Stirling
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in mixing an improved composition for inserting in joints
of steam or other heat engines, composed of white-lead mixed with cement (Portland
preferred) and oil if desired.
By this mixture I obtain a composition which is pliable and easily worked when
cold, but under the influence of heat it soon becomes extremely hard, and so can
resist the pressure which would otherwise blow it out.

Composition for Jointing Pipes or other Connections of Steam or
other Heat Engines.
I, WILLIAM FILSHIE of Boness Road, Grangemouth in the County of Stirling,
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 said invention consists in mixing an improved composition for inserting in
joints of steam or other heat engines, composed of white lead mixed with cement
(Portland preferred) and oil. By this mixture I obtain a composition which is
pliable and easily worked when cold, but when under the influence of heat it soon
becomes extremely hard and so can resist the pressure which would otherwise blow
it out.
In carrying out my invention I take by weight twenty one parts white lead ten
parts Portland cement, and one part boiled linseed oil, and by means of an ordinary
paint mixing or grinding machine, by preference of the edged roller type, thoroughly
incorporate the ingredients.
The composition thus obtained is then ready for use as jointing putty. It may
also be thinned down to the consistency required for application to faced or fibrous
joints, by the addition of boiled linseed oil. By increasing the proportion of cement
the hardness of the joint will be increased and by diminishing the amount a more
elastic joint will be obtained.
When the mixture is to be kept for a time it should be packed in the putty state
in air tight cases or covered with oil.
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 mixing white lead, Portland cement and boiled linseed oil, in the manner
and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
