Improvements in Cellar Flaps.
We, ARTHUR PYE-SMITH of The St. Pancras Iron Works St. Pancras Road,
Engineer, and WILLIAM SINCLAIR of 30 Goldington Street, St. Pancras, both in the
County of Middlesex, Pattern 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:-
Our invention relates to a construction and arrangement of cellar flaps in such a
manner as to give great facility in opening them and great security when they are
closed, as we shall explain referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a plan shewing two flaps according to our invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section on X X shewing one of the flaps closed and part
of the other open.
Figure 3 is a transverse section on Y Y and
Fig. 4 is a part transverse section on Z Z.
Each of the flaps A, instead of being hinged to the fixed framing is mounted on a
pair of wheels or rollers B, on which it is nearly balanced. These wheels run on
rails C formed in the framing D, or in cases where an unobstructed opening is
required as shewn in Fig. 1 we introduce a removeable bar E to carry the wheels at
the back of the opening.
When the flaps are closed they are held down by catches or locks F of ordinary
construction. When it is desired to open the flaps, a T key is inserted into the lock I
so as to withdraw the catch bolt and is turned partly round so that its T head takes
hold for lifting. The flaps can then be turned on the axes of the wheels B and run
backwards so as to stand upright at the ends of the framing where they may be held
by any convenient catches." As shewn in Fig. 1 the cellar opening has a removeable
bar E to carry the flaps at the back. It is however to be understood that the framing
shewn at the front may be repeated at the back, furnishing rails for the wheels B in
lieu of the bar E.
The framing is preferably made, as shewn, of trough shape forming a gutter all
round the opening. As shewn in Fig. 4 each flap has several studs & projecting
down from it to rest on the inner rib of the framing when the flap is down.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is.
The construction and arrangement of cellar flaps mounted on wheels or rollers on
which they are run and also turned, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Damping Pads for Copying Purposes.
I, ANTHONY SCHORNO, of 29 William Street, New York, County and State of New
York, United States of America, 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 :-
This invention relates to a pad so constructed as to give off a uniform degree of
moisture to a roller passed over the same. The roller is subsequently run over the
tissue paper of a letter press copying book and thus the latter is quickly and uniformly
moistened.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved pad.
Fig. 2 a cross section on line e, a, fig. 1 and
Fig. 3 a perspective view of the roller.
a, is a box in which is contained a metal plate b. This plate is shorter than the box
and is supported on feet m. A water space is formed beneath the plate and at the
sides thereof. c, is a felt pad which is secured to the face of plate b, and which is
turned down at its ends to cover the upright sides of such plate.
The felt pad c, may be covered by a sheet of textile fabric d, to prevent the felt from
being rapidly used up.
The water poured into the box, is drawn up through capillary action by the down-
turned ends of the felt pad. Thus the pad is uniformly moistened throughout its
entire body and in its entire thickness.
A hand roller A, passed over the pad will be moistened to the proper degree. The
band roller is used to moisten a sheet of tissue paper in a letter copying book
as usual.
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 combination of box a, with an enclosed plate b, and a felt pad c, which
covers the face and the upright sides of such plate, substantially as specified.
2. The combination of box a, with an enclosed plate b, having feet m, a felt pad c,
which covers the face and the upright sides of such plate and a superposed layer of
textile fabric d, substantially as specified.

At one side of the article I make a guide way or depression marked a which at
its upper end forms a kind of spout or lip, as shewn at 6.
When the article is being emptied the parts a bare turned in the lowermost
position and the contents will flow out thereby in a narrow stream without danger
of splashing or spilling.
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 :-
A slop pail, circular or like washhand-basin, or chamber utensil, having formed
in or on it a device as shewn at ab of the accompanying drawings for the purpose
mentioned.

An Improved. Blue for Laundry and other Coloring Purposes.
I, GREEN ROBERT BISHOP KEMPTON, of 24 Park Road Portway, West Ham, in
the County of Essex, Cotton Mill Manager 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 certain compounds for making a blue coloring matter for
laundry and other purposes in the form of crystals and constitutes an improvement.
upon the combination described in and by the specification of Letters Patent granted
to me, dated March 29th A.D. 1889, No. 5380.
The objects of my present invention are to produce a blue, in a crystalline form,
which is readily soluble in water and which freely and rapidly colors said water to the
required depth of color or tint, and at the same time is, when in solution, perfectly
brilliant and clear.
The crystalline form of the improved blue according to my invention renders it
extremely convenient in ordinary use.
In carrying my invention into effect I take a suitable proportion of a soluble salt,
preferably sulphate of magnesia to which is added sufficient aniline blue Prussian.
blue, Chinese blue, indigo blue, or ultra marine blue, or a mixture of any two or more
of these coloring substances in solution to give the required depth of color, and the
whole is then evaporated to dryness so that a crystalline mass is left which is perfectly
uniform in color, and is fit for use as a laundry blue, or as a blue for other coloring
purposes.
I may use other soluble salts than sulphate of magnesia in the preparation of the
crystalline blue, the method of procedure however remaining the same.
These soluble salts may be enumerated as follows;
Ammonia, soda, potash or chrome alums, chloride of barium; nitrate of baryta ;
borax; boracic acid; bicarbonate, carbonate chlorate, nitrate or sulphate of potash;
chloride of potassium, acetate, bi-carbonate carbonate; hyposulphite, nitrates, sulphate,
sulphite, of soda; soda; soda ash; chloride of sodium; sugar; nitrate of strontia ;
sulphate of zinc, sulphate or nitrate of ammonia, and chloride of ammonium.
Either of the above mentioned salts may be used separately in lieu of the sulphate
of magnesia hereinbefore referred to; or a mixture of one or more of them may be
used in order to effect the object of my invention.
Having now 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;-
The production of a crystalline blue for laundry and other coloring purposes, by
mixing or incorporating with sulphate of magnesia, or other suitable soluble salt, a
solution of aniline blue, Prussian. blue, Chinese blue, indigo blue, or ultra marine
blue, or a mixture of each or any of these, and evaporating said mixture to dryness,
substantially as and for the purposes herein described.

An Improvement in Elevating Bands for Ordnance.
1, THOMAS ENGLISH of Hawley near Dartford in the County of Kent, Civil Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the construction of elevating bands for ordnance in such a
manner that they can be readily put on the gun or removed from it and yet are fixed
with sufficient firmness to prevent them from being displaced by the shock of firing.
For this purpose, 1 divide the elevating band or hoop, which surrounds the gun
near its breech, into two or more segments the ends of which are fitted to each other
as tenon and mortice joints, with transverse keyways into which I drive slightly
tapering cotters. By making these cotters with their smaller ends towards the muzzle,
the shock of firing tends to tighten them in the keyways.

An Improvement in Elevating Bands for Ordnance.
I, THOMAS ENGLISH of Hawley near Dartford in the County of Kent, 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:-
My invention relates to the construction of elevating bands for ordnance in such a
manner that the band can be readily put on the gun or removed from it, and yet is
fixed with sufficient firmness to prevent it from being displaced by the shock of firing.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a front view and Fig. 2 a side view of an
elevating band for a heavy gun according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a part plan
shewing one of the joints. I divide the elevating band or hoop, which is to surround
the gun near its truck, into two or more portions or segments. In the drawings I
have shewn two such segments A and B. The ends of the two segments are fitted to
each other as tenon and mortice joints with transverse keyways into which I drive
slightly tapering cotters C with their smaller ends towards the muzzle of the gun, so
that the shock of firing tends to tighten them in the keyways. D is a set screw the
point of which enters a hole in the side of the gun, so as to determine the place of the
band thereon. E is the pin to which the elevating gear is connected; this pin is
secured by a taper cross pin in a hole in the segment B.
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:
An elevating band for ordnance made in two or more segments fitted together with
tenon and mortice joints secured by tapering cotters substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of our automatic cot, cradle, or chair.
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same shewing the eccentric motion.
Fig. 3, is an enlarged detail of the clockwork shewing the stop action and winding
gear.
We suspend the cot A by means of the spindles B at each end of the cot, the said
spindles working in bearings in the frame D. At one end of the cradle are fixed two
small wheels E between which the eccentric wheel F connected with the clock
mechanism G works. This causes the cradle to swing backwards and forwards, so
rocking it for over an hour if required. The speed of the cradle is regulated to the
weight of the occupant by lowering or raising the weight H on the rod I.
The clock mechanism is wound up by means of a small pinion J acting on the
larger one K attached to the spring L and is put in and out of gear as required.
The clock mechanism is stopped by means of the catch M operated by the rod and
swivel N.
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 :-
1st. Rocking cradles, cots, chairs and the like by means of clockwork.
2nd. The eccentric wheel, and wheels fixed on the cradle for the purpose shewn
and described.
3rd. The adjustable weight, and the catch, swivel and rod used as a stop action.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
We ALEXANDER HUGHES and GEORGE HIRAM HIGGINS INWOOD trading as:
Hughes and Inwood of 31 Redcliff Street in the City and County of Bristol House-
Furnishers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in tobacco pipes
and which invention has for its object to prevent the presence of nicotine and moisture
in the stem or mouthpiece of the pipe.
Hitherto in pipes as at present in use the nicotine and moisture finds its way into
the stem and mouthpiece of the pipe and is very objectionable.
By this our invention the objection above referred to is entirely overcome, and said
invention consists essentially of a pipe having an aperture in the front of the bowl
ascending to a channel running round the top of the bowl and descending at the back
of the bowl and communicating with the stem of the pipe.
Said bowl is provided at its front base with a plug fitting into an aperture for the
purpose of cleaning.
Said bowl is provided with a moveable cap of metal or other material for the
purpose of covering the channel aforesaid and rendering the pipe airtight.

A New System of Advertising.
JAMES WALKER, Jones Road, Dublin, Printer &c., 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 a system of advertising upon the frames of mirrors,
pictures, glass tablets, diagrams, maps, or any other articles which can be conveniently
placed in frames, such frames being made of cardboard, paper, papier-mache, or any
other suitable material or materials, and having a suitable surface on which to print,
paint, impress, carve, attach, or otherwise place advertisements, and made in various
shapes, such as square, diamond, shield, circular, or any other convenient pattern or
configuration.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. A new system of advertising upon frames of mirrors, pictures, tablets, diagrams,
maps, or any other articles which are adapted for framing, as before described.
2. Such frames being made of cardboard, paper, papier-mache, or other suitable
substance, and having a suitable surface on which to place advertisements, as set

Fig. 3 is a plan.
A, A are the two standards; B is the base, and C is the table.
D is the knife held by its ends in slots, or recesses, in the standards. d is its
cutting edge. The cutting edge is, as is distinctly shewn in Fig. 2, a little above the
top surface of the table (, and it is the distance between these two parallels-cutting
edge and table top-which decides the thickness of the cut.
E is the box of a suitable shape to receive the cake F. e, e are the trunnions of the
box. These are, preferably, of a segmental transverse section, the line e¹ being so
positioned that it does not cut off any portion of the periphery of the trunnion which
is required for the operation of the latter.
Access to the hearings is through openings in the front of the standards. The
depth of these corresponds with the versed sine of the arc of the trunnion-periphery ;
and the bottom surfaces of the bearings are lower than the said openings for the
purpose of preventing the trunnions slipping out while the machine is at work.
The operation of the invention will be clearly understood from Fig. 2.
When the handle G is raised into the position indicated by the dotted lines of the
figure, the cake of tobacco will be brought clear of the knife, and will drop on to the
table C. The handle is then depressed with the effect of pushing the lower end of
the cake against the cutting edge d and cutting it off. As soon as it is severed, it
drops between the table and the knife. The figure shews one dropping.
The distance through which the handle can be raised is limited by studs f on the
tobacco box adapted to engage with stops suitably placed on the inner faces of the
respective standards.
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 combination of box, trunnions, and handle, made in one piece as set
forth.
2. The construction of two standards, table, and trunnion-bearings, made in one
piece as set forth.

page_text: 3. The combination of box, handle, and trunnions, adapted to be made in one piece,
with two standards and table adapted to be made in one piece, as set forth.
4. The combination of swinging box, with knife and table supported in or by
-standards as set forth.
5. The tobacco cutter as illustrated, and consisting of two castings or separable
portions and a knife supported by one of them.
