IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY COWLS AND VENTILATORS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES WHITE, of 63 Morrison Street Edinburgh, in the county of Midlothian
Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CHIMNEY COWLS AND VENTILATORS " 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 of improvements in the construction of chimney cowls
and ventilators and is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which Figures 1
and 2 are respectively a vertical section and a sectional plan of one modification of
the improved cowl or ventilator. Figures 3, 4, and 5, 6 are similar views of other
modifications, the latter being intended for earthenware.
As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the improved cowl consists of a central tube, A
which is adapted to fit on an ordinary chimney can, or in a ventilating tube or
roof opening. On this tube are fitted a series of radial ribs or webs B extending
downwards some distance from the upper edge. The lower ends of these webs are
closed by an outer conical case or plate C attached to them and to the central
tube A and the upper ends are partly covered by a conical case or plate D between
which and the central tube A a conical annular space b is left. When the cowl is
in use the wind entering from the side between the webs B at B¹ rises up between
the central tube A and the conical plate D and in its upward flow through the .
contracted nozzle part at top induces an upward current through the central
tube A; the effect being in the case of a chimney cowl, to facilitate the discharge
of the smoke and prevent a blow down, and in the case of a ventilator to effect
the withdrawal of air from the building to which it is fitted.
In some cases I form between the plates C and D of the cowl or ventilator a
curved or conical web or plate E by the use of which a double ring of conical
channels 6 b¹ for the upward flow of the wind, is provided in each space formed
between the radial webs B. Pockets e are, by preference, formed at the lower ends
of these plates, as also in the lower plate C. In the example shown in Figures 5
and 6, the radial webs B and the conical plates C, D, E form a piece which is
separable from the can or tube A and which may be fitted over it and rest on a
shoulder a formed on the can.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The improved construction of chimney cowl or ventilator herein described and

IMPROVE- MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SHEEP SHEARS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES BALL of Providence Villa, Hillsbro' Sheffield in the County of York
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SHEEP SHEARS to be as follows:—
My invention of improvements in the manufacture of Sheep Shears relates to
those shears that are intended to be separated at the bows to enable the blades to
be sharpened or for other purposes, its object being to do away with screws, and
other moveable parts at the junction of the two parts of the shear.
.
I accomplish this object by attaching to one of the flat parts of the bow.where
the joint is made, a double headed stud preferably.made by casting it in one piece
of malleable iron, with projecting bits on the back for rivetting. In the other flat
part of the bow I form by punching or similar means a double keyhole slot to
engage with the double headed stud, so that when the heads of the stud are
passed through the holes of the double slot and the two parts forced in opposite
directions, the heads of the stud pass over the narrow portion of the slot and
prevent the parts of the shear from separating.
To take the parts asunder it is only necessary to force them to slide in opposite
directions until the heads of the stud are opposite the corresponding holes of the
slot when they may be separated.
If desired a spring catch may be used, to prevent any movement of the parts;
in which case it would be convenient to attach it by means of one of the rivets by
which the double headed stud is secured, the end of the spring, or a projecting bit,
passing over the ends of the two parts of the bow which form the joint, and so
preventing any movement or uncoupleing.

invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In sheap shears that are made in two principal parts; the method of securing
them together at the bow (but so that they may be readily separated) by a stud
piece having heads or equivalent side projections to engage with a corresponding
slot, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.

The Apparatus is applied by punching a hole on the top of a corrugation
of a sheet, inserting its end turning it (with a pressure downward) to the
right when the apparatus draws itself into the rick until the grooved washer
fastens the sheet firmly down upon the rick.
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
1st The spiral screw which holds the apparatus with such firmness in the rick.
2nd The grooved washer which fits the corrugation in the iron & prevents rain
entering the bole made therein

" IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SHOES AND BOOTS" and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:—
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of shoes and
boots.
I form the upper from one piece of leather and with but one seam and that by
preference at the back behind the heel.
In the Drawings hereunto annexed I have illustrated the making of the upper
for a shoe in the above manner.
A piece of leather is first cut to the required form as illustrated at Figure 1 and
is then blocked and rounded up to bring it to the required shape as illustrated at
Figure 2. After this a slit is made at the front as shewn by the dotted lines in
Figure 1 to provide the opening required for inserting the foot into the shoe.-The
lining and trimmings are then put on and the upper is closed-after which it is put
upon a last of the form of the foot and is lasted to the required shape-the sole is
then attached in the ordinary way. Eyelet holes for laces or other attachments
may afterwards be secured to the upper along each side of the slit formed in it so
that the slit may be laced up or fastened in any ordinary manner--the shoe is then
ready to be worn.
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 manufacture of shoes and boots with an upper formed from one
piece of leather and with but one seam substantially as herein before described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN TONGS FOR COAL & TABLE USE
Year: 1884

page_text: We GEORGE BALL and CHARLES BALL trading as Ball Brothers of Regent
Parade Birmingham in the County of Warwick Silversmiths do hereby declare'
the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN TONGS FOR COAL & TABLE
USE, to be as follows:-
This Invention consists in the use of a bow spring the ends of which are bowed
inwards and out again to form additional small bow springs to the ends of these.
smaller springs are hinged plates which are themselves hinged together, each of these
plates carries one of the arms of the Tongs. By this arrangement the Tongs are.
kept in a closed position pressure upon the large bow springs causes the tongs to
open and the smaller bow springs coming together act as a stop and prevent the
overstraining of the tongs.
The two small bow springs may be dispensed with if desired and the plates
hinged to the ends of the large bow springs.

Agents for the Applicants.

page_text: We GEORGE BALL and CHARLES BALL trading as Ball Brothers of 14 Regent
Parade Birmingham in the County of Warwick Silversmiths do hereby declare the
nature of our invention for TONGS FOR TABLE USE and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The tong consists of a bulged bow "fig 4" bent inward at a little distance from
the end at a sharp angle (A) and bent outward again thus forming two lesser
inverted bows (B) the two ends of the bows are curled round into tubes (C) the
centres of which are cut away and into these spaces the ends of two small
plates (D & E) simularly curled are inserted and held together by means of rivets
driven through the tubes (F) the two small plates are hinged to each other in the
same manner (see G. H & I). The sides of the tongs consist of two strips of metal
the one end of which is attached to the small plates (J) the other being furnished
with bowls, plates, or forks, (K) to take hold upon the food. Pressure applied to
the sides of the bow (L) draws the upper ends of the jointed plates toward each
other and they acting as levers upon the centre rivet throw the bowled or forked
ends open (M) to receive or release the food. Releif of the bow from pressure
causes the bowls or forks to reclose (N and tightly clasp whatever may be between.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is the hingeing of the spring bow to the lever plates, and they, with the
sides they carry, to each other, to obtain the clasping action.

MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CARTRIDGE PRESSES
Year: 1884

page_text: I ALFRED ATTWOOD of Canal Head Foundry, Ulverston, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CARTRIDGE PRESSES to be as follows:-
My improvements are designed to facilitate the operation of changing dies and
plungers or punches for pressing various sizes of cartridges in the class of presses
having multiple dies.
The plungers or punches are usually fixed to a metal plate attached by set
screws or bolts to the underside of the press head; and when it is required to
change them it is usual to unfasten the plate and remove the plungers, replacing
them by those of the size required.
This operation occupies a good deal of time.
To obviate this I fix each set of plungers or punches in separate plates, these
plates being provided with rebated or bevilled edges planed to fit corresponding
grooves formed in the press head. Handles are attached to the ends of each
plate so that it can be readily slid in and out of the press as required.
T headed set-screws are attached to the press head for locking the sliding plates.
in position.
