1 GEORGE GOFFIN, of No. 1 Princess Street St. Georges Road Southwark, London,
Mechanical 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 the method of connecting pipes of Lead
or other Ductile metal.
My Invention greatly facilitates the making of the connection between such metallic.
pipes as above stated in that the Joint can be made without soldering any part or parts
of either the Union or the pipe.
According to my Invention a Joint can be made at a small cost and with a minimum
of labor and under circumstances where it would be impossible to make an ordinary
plumber's wiped or soldered joint.
The method of making a joint with my Union may be described as follows:-
See Drawing Fig. 1. The body of the Union C is slipped over one end of pipe A.
which may be either of Lead or other Ductile Metal upon this end the tail-piece B is
then passed and then the end of this pipe is worked to form the flange seen at F.
The end of pipe E. is passed through the part of the Union marked D. and the
flange G formed thereon as at F. on pipe A. To connect the pipes the part of the
Union marked D. is screwed home into the part of the Union marked C. thus bringing
flanges F. and G into contact with each other thereby making the Joint or connection.
The whole fitted together will have the appearance of Fig.2.
The Union may also be used for connecting a pipe made of a Ductile Metal to a
pipe made of a non-ductile metal by forming an inside thread upon part D. Fig. I as
seen at D¹ a corresponding thread being cut on the non-ductile metal pipe; in this
latter case the inner end of D will, upon being screwed into part C. fit against
flange F. Fig. 1. thereby making the joint.
This Union Joint is preferably made of Brass or Gun-Metal, but may be made. of
any other metal of which any ordinary union joint can be made.

page_text: 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. An improvement in Unions for connecting pipes of Lead or other ductile metal
to each other, and for connecting a pipe of a ductile metal to a pipe of a non-ducțile
metal. Either and both of these connections can be effected by means of my Union
Joint without soldering any part of pipe or Union.
2. My Union differs from the ordinary form of Union in that the pipes are brought
into contact with each other, and form the joint within my Union by reason of having
the parts of the Union made and arranged as shown in the Drawing herewith.

The invention consists of the use of India rubber or other elastic substance in
conjunction with a leather, linen, or other fabric, or metal band or strap to stop
leaks, in gas water or other pipes by causing such elastic substance to be pressed
firmly over the leaky part of the pipe and fixed by a buckle or other fastening and
preferably by the use of tapering pieces of India Rubber of varying widths being
fixed longitudinally between two pieces or strips of leather, linen, or other fabric to
form a strap to go round the pipe. When in use the India Rubber portion is brought
over the fracture whether then leaking or not the end of the strap is brought round
the pipe and fastened firmly by a buckle or other fastening at the end. For leaks in
angles, bosses or joints the shape of the elastic portion would be varied to accommodate
itself to such peculiarity of configuration.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner it is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The Invention of using India Rubber or other elastic substance to stop leaks
in pipes by pressing same against such pipes by the same being affixed to a strap
or band.
2. That it will stop leaks in burst or cracked pipes whether conducting air gas,
water or other non corrosive fluids if not permanently at least for a considerable
length of time affording an opportunity for the pipes being reinstated or permanently
repaired at convenient times and stopping the damage that would otherwise be done
by the continuence of such leakage.
3. That the appliance can be used by any man, woman or youth of ordinary
intelligence.

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:-
•
Whereas in silk lamp shades as ordinarily made the wires show as black shadows
when the lamp is alight and the general form is either conical or polygonal
and not globular my invention consists in substituting for the wire frame a glass
foundation shape formed with a groove or shoulder at top and bottom so as to
retain in place the threads upon which the silk is gathered. By this means the
silk can be disposed in soft folds over the curved surface of the glass. In the drawings
annexed figures 1 & 2 show the foundation glasses for silk shades for an oil lamp & for
an electric incandescent lamp respectively having a groove or shoulder at A & at B.
The silk which may be in one or more pieces is cut approximately to tho shape
of the developed surface of the glass foundation thus a piece cut to a shape similar
to that shown in figure 3 would be used for covering fig. 2 the dotted lines A A & B B
being threads run either through the material itself or through a welt which threads
are tightly tied round the glass at the grooves or shoulders A & B. The shade is
completed by distributing the material evenly along the gathering threads. Some-
times it is more convenient to substitute a wire ring for one of the gathering
threads and other material may be used in place of silk. This construction of shade
can conveniently be used for illuminating pictures & similar objects by withdrawing
the silk from a portion of the glass so as to allow the light to shine without
obstruction in the direction required.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is-
The combination of a glass foundation shape having a groove or shoulder near the
top and bottom with a covering of textile material secured to the said grooves or
shoulders by gathering threads or by a ring & a gathering thread substantially as
described and for the purpose set forth.

page_text: 1, FRANK HERBERT MANSFIELD of Sittingbourne in the County of Kent,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention I fix a pin of comparatively large diameter across the
slot which receives the guard, and I form the tail end of the guard into a spring which
is bent to a circular form so as to embrace the pin. The guard is thus free to turn
upon the pin as an axis, whilst the spring of its tail puts on sufficient friction to make
the guard stand in any position.

page_text: Improvements relating to the Pedal Cranks of Velocipedes.
I FRANK SOUTHARD of No. 109 Bevois Street, Southampton, Machinist 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,
reference being also had to the accompanying two sheets of explanatory drawings:-
My Improvements are devised with the objects in view of minimising the amount
of metal employed in the construction of cranks for actuating the wheels of
velocipedes without in any way reducing the strength of same; an essential
desideratum when the improved cranks hereinafter described are adapted to light
velocipedes wherein the consequent diminished weight will be found to be a further
advantage especially in the case of racing machines.
In accordance with my Invention I form the cranks of velocipedes with twists on
spiral convolutions instead of plain as is usual. The twisting or spiralling may be
imparted by means of any of the usual appliances and preferably after said cranks
have been stamped out plain in the first instance of the reduced size shewn in the
drawings, and after having been sufficiently heated. Said cranks may be of any
suitable shape in cross section, such for instance as fluted, square, round or other
convenient form as may be desired.
Referring to the drawings, Figures 3, 4, 56 and 7 illustrate the improved
velocipede crank in accordance with my Invention. Figures 2, 8 and 9 represent a
crank of the reduced dimensions effected by my Invention before being twisted, and
Figure 1 an ordinary crank as at present in use and of the dimensions usually
obtaining at present, shewn to illustrate the difference in the quantity of metal
employed relatively to that which obtains under my improved system. Figure 3
represents a twisted crank according to my improvements in which the convolutions
assume a fluted contour as shewn in the cross sectional view, Figure 4 taken on
line A, B, Figure 3. Figures 5, 6 and 7 represent cranks in accordance with my
Invention, in which I have shewn same, as formed spirally with twists differing in
number and degree or pitch to suit various requirements.
My improved cranks above described would be used in pairs, that is to say the
twists formed upon one, say the right, would be in a direction opposite to that formed
upon the other or left crank.

page_text: 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 pedal cranks for velocipedes as herein described having spiral convolutions or
twists of any suitable shape or configuration, in cross section, substantially as herein
set forth and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

A New and Improved Method of Making Malleable Iron Castings.
I, CHARLES COLLINGWOOD TOWNSEND a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Regiment
of Artillery, at present stationed at Madras and employed in the Indian Ordnance
Department, 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 method of melting wrought iron so that it can be cast by the addition of a small
quantity of phosphorus in some form with or without silicon or silica in some form.
The best proportions have hitherto been found to be 22 lbs of B. B. Staffordshire
scrap, 7 ounces of fine river sand, and 5 ounces of bone ash. These are placed in a
crucible with a small quantity of powdered glass on the top to act as a flux. The
crucible is closed with a thin unannealed plate made of plumbago and fireclay, luted
all round with the same mixture. The crucible is placed in a small blast furnace. In
about two or three hours more or less the metal will be liquid & still when it is
ready to pour. Ordinary sand moulds well faced & slightly warm are used for casting.
The castings should not be taken from the sand till quite cold.
Having now particularly described & 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. Wrought iron is melted and rendered fit for casting without the addition of any
other metal.
2. Castings are produced which can be forged without annealing and are soft like
wrought iron though capable of being chilled.

Improvements in Heating Stoves.
I RICHARD WADE BOYD of 105 New Bond Street, London W. in the County
of Middlesex, Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improved coke battery or heating stove is so constructed that the gills or
plates of which the stove is formed project into the fuel chamber so as to absorb all
available heat and in their turn conduct such heat to the outer and corrugated surfaces
for delivery to the room or space to be warmed. The draught is regulated by a sliding
air tight ashpit; the flue also is controlled by a butterfly or other valve.
The joints of the plates of which the sides are composed are grooved and tongued
together in a novel manner for such ironwork, being luted together with cement
and bolted up by rods passing through holes formed therein and nuts on said
rods.
