Improvements in Electrical Conductors.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co. LIMITED of 12, Queen Anne's Gate,
Westminster in the County of Middlesex, Electrical Engineers, 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 construction of flexible insulated electrical conductors,
especially those for transmitting alternating currents, in such a manner as to reduce
their capacity by arranging that their insulation shall to a large extent consist of
air. For this purpose, the conductor, which may consist of one wire or of several
wires, either bare or covered with insulating material, has wound round it or inter-
twined with it a cord of insulating material, the convolutions being at considerable
intervals apart. Over this is placed insulating material which may be covered
with metallic tape or other armour, which may serve as the return conductor. The
thread or cord is of such thickness and so laid that the insulating layer over it shall
not touch the inner wire or wires when the conductor is bent to its fullest extent.
The insulation of the wires is thus made to consist chiefly of the air occupying the
intervals between the convolutions or intertwinings of the thread or cord.
Figs. 1 and 1 of the accompanying drawing shew a simple form of conductor of
this kind.
Figs. 2 and 24 shew a modified construction.
As shewn in Figs. 1 and 1 the wire K, which may be either bare or insulated, is
wound round with the nonconducting cord F over which is an insulating layer J
so applied as not to enter the spaces between the convolutions of the cord.
As shewn in Figs. 2 and 24 there are two wires K having cords F wound
round and intertwined with them in such manner as to prevent the shifting of their
convolutions.
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 :-
An electrical conductor consisting of a wire or wires wound or intertwined
with non-conducting cord, covered with an insulating layer, the cord being of such
size as to prevent the insulating layer from touching the wire when the conductor
is bent, and its convolutions being at such intervals that the insulation of the wire
consists chiefly of the air in the spaces between the convolutions, substantially as
and for the purposes set forth.

An Improved Lemon Squeezer.
JAMES WILLIAM SMITH 243 Broad Street Pendleton Manchester Lancashire
Ironmongers' Assistant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
An improved lemon squeezer which consists of a dish made of glass with lip
and handle on side, in the centre of dish is inserted or cast a hollow cone with
spiral or straight grooves down the side, in the front of the lip are inserted or
cast in the dish a series of upright bars with spaces between each bar to allow the
flow of juice & to prevent unnecessary matter passing into the spout.
Dated this 20th day of November 1892.
I, JAMES WILLIAM SMITH of 243 Broad Street, Pendleton, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Ironmongers' Assistant, do hereby declare the nature of
my said 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 refers to glass lemon squeezers or lemon juice extractors such as
are made with a dish having a lip or pouring spout on one side and lifting handle
on another side and with a hollow cone inserted or cast in the centre with spiral
or straight grooves or flutings down its side.
My invention consists in forming opposite and round the lip or spout aforesaid
a series of upright pins or bars rising from the bottom of the dish, separated from
each other a sufficient distance apart to allow for the flow of lemon juice, but close
enough to prevent pippins or other objectionable matter passing into the spout.
In order that my invention shall be clearly understood I have hereunto annexed
a drawing in which
Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view and Fig. 2 a plan view of my improved
lemon squeezer.
A designates the dish composed of glass, for collecting the lemon juice as it
flows down the flutings in the hollow cone B which is moulded in one piece with
the dish A. Said dish is formed with a pouring lip or spout C and lifting
handle D formed in the moulding of the glass.
In accordance with my invention I form the pins E around the spout C as illus-
trated producing a form of strainer or grid to arrest pippins or other objectionable
matter when pouring the juice out of the dish. These pins are preferably made in
one piece with the dish, but they may be made separately and fixed to the dish
by suitable means.
It will be readily apparent that the essential feature of my invention is the
formation of a strainer or grid around the spout or outlet of the dish and that the
arrangement of pins or bars may be varied.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is.
A series of pins or bars E arranged around the pouring spout or lip of a lemon
squeezer or lemon juice extractor substantially as set forth and illustrated.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Malt, Bread, Biscuits,
Confectionery, and other Articles of Diet.
I, WILLIAM CRAWFORD Chemical Merchant of 62 Choumert Road, Peckham
London, in the County of Surrey, 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 improvement claimed is in the use of flour wheat meal maize meal, rice
flour, lime water and extract of malt for making malt bread, biscuits confectionery
and other articles of diet.
I proceed as follows, for every two pounds weight of flour, two pounds weight of
wheat meal, a quarter of a pound of fine maize meal, a quarter of a pound of rice
flour I use five ounces of extract of malt, three quarters of an ounce of compressed
yeast, three quarters of an ounce of salt two and a half pints of water-and a quarter
of a pint of lime water.
First of all, I heat the water to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and then dissolve therein
the malt extract and the yeast, I then stir in the wheat meal, the maize meal and
the rice flour, and allow the whole to ferment for two hours in a warm situation.
I then stir in the lime water and the salt, and make dough with the remaining
flour.
I allow the dough to prove for half an hour, after which I mould it up into any
desired size and after proving for twenty minutes I thoroughly well bake under
tins in an oven not too hot.
Should it be desired, all wheat meal may be used or all flour, and the extract of
malt may be increased or diminished in weight, but the method of working must
be strictly followed, and the other ingredients used in their exact proportions.
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 wish it
to be understood that I am aware that it has been previously proposed to use malt
extract, and lime water in the preparation of dough and I lay no general claim to
such use but what I claim is-
An improvement in the method of making malt bread, biscuits, confectionery,
and other articles of diet, of a highly digestible and nutritive nature, in the manner
hereinbefore described.

An Improved Reversing Gear for a Propeller Worked by Engine
Power with a Reversing Counter-shaft Revolving in an Opposite
Direction to the Main-shaft.
Communicated from abroad by CARL JOHANN AUGUST FRIEDRICH JASTRAM,
of 47, Grosse Reichenstrasse, Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany.
I, HENRY WINCKLER of 110, Cannon Street, London, E.C. in the County of
Middlesex, Agent 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 my invention is to manufacture an improved reversing gear for a
propeller worked by engine power with a reversing counter-shaft revolving in an
opposite direction to the main-shaft.
In the reversing gear shown in general view and section in Figs. 1 and 2, for a
propeller worked by an oil engine, the shaft d, which is connected with the crank-
shaft A by means of a friction-clutch C, has attached to it a cogged friction-
wheel R.; a similar wheel R, being attached to the reversing counter-shaft B,
which is driven by the crankshaft A by means of cog-wheels M, N, and hence is
made to revolve in the opposite direction.
Shaft B serves to reverse the propeller by means of a second pair of friction-
wheel R, R, which are arranged, one at either side of R₁, R₂, and supported by,
and bearing into, 4 lever arms H₁, H₂, H., H..
These last named friction-wheels are thrown into gear with R1, R2, by pressing
down the cam E₁, of the lever E, upon the joint-piece G, with which the lever-arms
bearing the wheels (or rollers) R3, R, are connected above D. Thereby, all the
four cogged friction-wheels are pressed against each other, thus causing the motion
to be transmitted from B to D by means of the friction-wheels.
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 reversing gear, for a propeller worked by an engine, with a reversing counter-
shaft revolving in an opposite direction by means of cog wheels (M, N,) to the
mainshaft, characterised by an arrangement of cogged friction-wheels (R₁, R., R₂, R₁),
one being attached to the propeller shaft (D) another to the reversing counter-
shaft (B) which revolves in an opposite direction to the crankshaft (A), and one
each to two intermediate shafts; the last two wheels (R, and R.) being supported
by and bearing into the lever-arms (H₁, H₂, H₂, H.) and being thrown into gear
with the cogged friction-wheels (R₁, R,), by means of the coupling-lever (E)
whenever the clutch (C) for direct coupling between the crankshaft and propeller
shaft (A and D) has been thrown out of gear.

Improvements in Cushions for Billiard and Bagatelle Tables.
JAMES ASHCROFT, Billiard Table Manufacturer of Ashcroft Buildings
37 Victoria Street Liverpool, 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 cushions for billiard and bagatelle
tables by which the following advantages are obtained.
The face line of impact of the cushion, whilst having elastic spring or energy of
recoil value is thoroughly stable, and maintains its contour in unalterable form for
any length of time.
This quality and the peculiar configuration and section and sectional angle of
the cushion that I adopt, has the faculty of returning the ball from the cushion at
a true angle, a feature not possessed by other low cushions.
The structural characteristics of my invention contribute to make it more
servicable more sensitive in recoil and quick acting, and removes the tendency of
the ball to fly off the table.
Before commencing to describe my said invention, I wish it to be distinctly
understood that I do not intend to be confined to the exact details shewn, as they
may be modified without departing from the nature of my said invention.
The description of my invention is only clearly elucidary by reference to the
accompanying illustrations, of which
Figure 1 is a cross section and Figure 2 a plan in section.
The nose of the cushion is marked A, and is formed of india rubber, trimmed
preferably to the precise sectional configuration shewn.
Enclosed or embedded in the nose of the cushion I provide a cord or wire B, so
located that it receives the direct concussion or impact of the billiard balls and by
its added stiffness to the acute nose of the cushion the latter successfully returns the
energy of the ball without destroying the definition of the mechanical direction
due to the angle of impact of the force or momentum set up by the stroke of
the cue.
I usually employ for this purpose or for providing the characteristics to the nose
of the cushion, linen cord, of any sectional form or cord of any vegetable organic or
metallic substance of rather coarsely twisted brands, such as for instance, catgut
steel or other metallic wire similar to that employed for the bass cords or notes of
stringed musical instruments.
I continue this cord along the length of the cushion between the pockets, the
ends of the cords terminating at the angle of the cushion formed by the pocket
approach.
Having now particularly ascertained and described the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I
claim is included in the following paragraph.
The method of forming or constructing billiard and bagatelle table cushions in the
manner substantially as described and ascertained by this Specification.

Improvements in Steam Boilers.
WILLIAM DALTON 9 Dickson Road North Parade Blackpool Lancashire Tin
and Coppersmith 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:-
It is an invention to provide a better method of making steam boilers for
locomotive marine, Cornish & others.
It is a simple and inexpensive mode of substituting, the ordinary, straight seam
of steam boilers or tubes, with an oblique twisted or spiral seam. By this means,
the strength and durability of the boiler is enormously increased; two factors,
which will reduce danger and accident to a minimum.
By this invention, it is claimed, that a higher pressure of steam can be used with
absolute safety than by any other process.
Instead of forcing the seams at the rivets the oblique or twisted seams draw them
and produce a collateral resistant.
The validity of this novelty, consists in twisting the metal sheets into a partial
semicircle to form an oblique or spiral seam (marked C) whereby much stability is
gaired; strength and durability being at a premium and becoming a safe guard
against higher pressure.
The boiler, to meet extremes of pressure, must have strong hoops at intervals
outside 3" or more, deep packed tight with asbestos (marked D) and covered with
another metal sheet (marked E) bolted strong, so as to keep the heat in and thus
becoming a collateral resistant also.
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
1st. The oblique twisted seams: C on drawing.
2nd. The anti-expansion bands or hoods: D.

This invention relates to a needle of peculiar construction having a conical eye
for the reception and retention of a knot. Thus the needle can be secured to the
very end of the thread and the latter need not be doubled up.
The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed
out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section of the needle, showing it threaded.
Fig. 2 is a similar view without the thread.
The letter a, represents a needle having a transverse eye a¹, of conical shape, that
is to say, the eye a¹ has a wide mouth and is thence contracted in the form of a
funnel towards the other end.
In threading the needle, a knot 6', is formed at the end of the thread b, and this
In this way
knot will be bodily received within and retained by the conical eye.
the thread used need not be doubled up at the end and may be entirely used up. The
upper end of the needle is beveled or tapered inwardly at the side a², where the
contracted end of the eye opens. At the other side a³, the taper is considerably
less, so that a sufficient body of metal is retained. Thus it will be seen that the
thread merges at but one side of the needle and that at this side the needle is so
tapered that the thread does not project beyond the needle. As the needle and
thread are drawn through the fabric the thread will consequently not form an
obstacle for the passage of the needle.
The advantages connected with my improved needle are, that it can be easily
threaded, will pass freely through the fabric, will not lose the thread, and that it
will permit the latter to be entirely used up.
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. A needle provided with a transverse tapering perforation, substantially as
specified.
2. A needle provided with a beveled side and with a transverse tapering eye
that opens with its reduced end upon the beveled side, substantially as specified.

Open landscape.
Opposite the subject shown on the circle d, the figure 1 second appears on the
circle e, which indicate that the necessary exposure under the above conditions will
be one second.
If the subject is other than open landscape, it is only necessary to look at the
marks opposite such other subject, and the length of exposure will be found; for
instance, it will be seen that the exposure for groups will be four seconds.
The method of using the instrument is as follows:-The arrow on the date
circle b is placed opposite the mark on a indicating the plate to be used.

circle c is placed opposite the proper date number on b. Holding the two circles b
and c as already set, the arrow on the subject circle d is placed opposite the indi-
cator on è of the diaphragm to be used. The exposure to be given will then be
found on the outer circle e, opposite the subject mark, as already explained.
It will be obvious that the plate numbers on a, and the subjects may be varied
according to requirements. The date numbers on may also be varied to suit
different latitudes.
The various circles may be otherwise arranged, or other circles with different

An Improved Pen for Writing upon Slates.
1, MAX ROEDER, of 123 Ritterstrasse, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 aluminium pens for writing upon slates and is illustrated
by the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 represents one form of my aluminium pen, and Fig. 2 a modification of
the same.
Like letters denote corresponding parts in both views.
In Fig. 1 I have shown a pen A provided with points B at both ends, so that the
pen may be used a very long time by employing the second point when the first
has become dull. The points may be alike or different, as represented. The
points may be split as in ordinary steel pens, or formed full without any incision,
as shown.
The modification illustrated by Fig. 2 is provided with a point B at one end
only, in all other respects the pen does not differ from that shown in Fig. 1.
The aluminium pens are preferably made somewhat thicker than ordinary steel
pens. They are intended for writing upon slates, and are especially suited for this
purpose on account of their great durability.
Instead of pure aluminium, I may employ alloys containing a notable proportion
of this metal.
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. A pen for writing upon slates, made of an alloy containing aluminium, for the
purpose set forth.
2. A pen for writing upon siates, made of an alloy containing aluminium, and
provided with points at both ends, substantially as described, for the purpose set
forth.
3. A pen for writing upon slates, made of aluminium, for the purpose set forth.
4. An aluminium pen for writing upon slates, provided with points at both ends,
substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.

A Combined Tight Jointed Register Soot Door or Manhole and
Smoke Pipe Nozzle.
THOMAS HUNGATE PRESTON DENNIS 20 High Street Chelmsfor. Essex
Engineer Ironmonger and Stove 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:-
This invention has for its object the perfect closing of smoke flues or chimneys
into which a stove pipe has to be led and of providing means by which the same
can be readily cleaned and swept without disturbing the sinoke pipe.
I accomplish this by making a tee iron (by preference) frame of any desired size
or shape but usually rectangular and in length about two thirds that of its width
with a tee iron division across it at about one third from one end thus dividing the
frame into two unequal spaces. Into the smaller space I fit a plate having a
nozzle formed on it of suitable size for the reception of a stove pipe. I fasten this
plate to the flange of the tee iron frame by bolts, screws or rivets using cement
around the flange of tee iron into which the plate of nozzle fits, to secure an
air-tight joint and when the smoke pipe is passed through the nozzle the space
between it and the smoke pipe is also cemented.
Into the larger space I fit a plain plate which I designate the register door or
manhole its four sides rest upon the rebate of the tee iron and it is then cemented
in the same way as the plate of stove pipe nozzle. A screw'd stud with a fly nut
is affixed to the centre of this plate.
I secure this plate to the tee iron frame by means of a bridge or arched bar
(by preference) the ends of which rest upon the reverse face of frame, whilst the
Ecrew'd stud passes through a hole in its centre; by screwing the fly nut down a
tight joint is made on to the rebate of the tee iron frame.
The frame and plate may be made of cast or wrought metal.
The frame can be
built into the brickwork of a flue or chimney in a vertical or horizontal position.
It will be seen that I thus secure perfectly air-tight joints and at the same time
provide ready access to the smoke flue or chimney for cleaning or sweeping
purposes by releasing the nut of screw pin or stud on centre of register door.

page_text: fixed and drawn tight to the rebate of the tee iron frame by screws, bolts, cams,
levers, or other well known means but I declare that what I claim is
The combination of a register soot door or manhole and plate with smoke pipe
nozzle and the frame as a whole for the object and purpose herein before described.

Improved Expansion Joint for Pipes.
I, ALEXANDER TURNBULL of St. Mungo Works, Bishopbriggs, in the County
of Lanark, North Britain, 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 an improved expansion joint for steam or other pipes
where such joint is required and is illustrated on the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
Figure 1, is a steam pipe with the expansion joint shewn at A, and
Figure 2 is an enlarged section of the joint.
The joint consists of the two flanges a and b which are connected together by two
pieces of corrugated steel plate c and d. These steel plates are riveted to the
flanges a and b and are also riveted together at the outer circumference as shewn
at Figure 2. As the steam pipe expands or contracts, the flexible steel plate allows
the flanges to come closer together or to go further apart without any injury being
done to the pipe.
Instead of having the two flanges separate from the flexible plates the flanges
may be turned over and form one piece with the flexible plate.
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 improved expansion joint for pipes consisting of corrugated steel plates
riveted together substantially as described.

Improvements in the Construction of Vessels for Cooling and
Heating Butter and like substances.
We, JOHN THORNBER The Laurels, Over Winsford Cheshire Auctioneer, &
GEORGE ROGERSON High Street Winsford Cheshire China & Glass 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:-
This invention relates to an improved construction of a vessel for cooling and
heating butter & the like. Our improved butter cooler and warmer serves the
double purpose of keeping the butter cool in hot weather and of warming same in
winter. The vessel is made with a double skin, so that the sides & bottoms contain
or enclose a chamber or cavity capable of containing hot or cold water. The
chamber containing the substance or butter has ventilating holes so as to permit
the free ingress and egress of air. In conjunction with the said vessel we employ a
cover or lid constructed on the same principle, that is, a double skin enclosing a
chamber or cavity for containing the heating or cooling liquid or material.
When it is desired to keep the butter cool we fill the hollow chamber or cavity
in the vessel and lid with cold water or ice. If it is desired to warm or soften
butter, we fill the chainbers or cavity with hot water.
It will be understood that our invention may be made of any suitable material
such as clay, glass & the like.
Referring to the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 shows sectional side elevation of the lid constructed according to our
invention.
