An Improved Mandril for Use in Winding Sheet Materials into Pipes.
I, WILLIAM LOVE, Engineer, of 42, Claremont Square, Pentonville, N., in the
County of London, 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 is a new form of grip mandril for winding pliant sheet material,
such as sheet-metal, paper celluloid, india rubber, or any other thin pliant
material into the form of pipes. The mandril consists essentially of two parts;
viz.A cylinder of wood, steel, iron or other suitable material A, upon which
fits closely and easily a sleeve B preferably of metal, slotted longitudinally to
within a short distance of each end-preferably nearly at a tangent to the inner
cylinder, & which slot cuts partly into the inner cylinder or there may be two
parallel longitudinal slots; and the intervening arc, D, freed from the sleeve at
the ends, may be fixed to the inner cylinder. In either case the principle of
the grip is the same; but in the first case it is necessary to have a fixed pin, C,
projecting radially from the inside cylinder (but not longer than the radius of
the sleeve) working in an annular slot in the sleeve to regulate the angle of
revolution of the sleeve on the inner cylinder. In the second case this angle is
determined by the amount removed in the double slotting, which generally gives
sufficient movement.
To use this mandril the slot is opened by revolving the sleeve upon the cylinder,
and the edge of the sheet to be rolled is inserted to the bottom of the slot: the
sleeve is then held at rest, either by hand or by a friction ring or other con-
trivance, & the inner cylinder revolved. The grip being now achieved, the
continued revolution of the mandril, overcoming the friction of the sleeve, carries
the sheet round it as often as may be desired & the pipe is completed by gluing,
soldering, or any other practicable method.
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:-
An improved method of gripping sheets for rolling into pipes by means of a
loose slotted sleeve revolving over a corresponding slot in the inner mandril, or
against an arc of itself fixed to the latter.

Improvements in Driving Mechanism for Velocipedes and the like.
I, WILHELM HACKER, of Bingerbruck-on-the-Rhine, in the Empire of Germany,
Mechanician, 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 driving mechanism for velocipedes and the like, and
comprises a chainless gear which transmits the movement of the crank shaft to the
rear wheel by means of an eccentric rod and a toothed crown.
In the accompanying drawing my improved driving gear is represented as applied
to a velocipede.
Figure 1 shows a side elevation of this gear and
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
On the crank shaft of the velocipede I secure an eccentric a fitted with balls
at its periphery and set in rotation by the cranks. I attach to this eccentric a an
eccentric rod b which is connected by the crank pin c with a toothed crown d
supported on the rear fork, and which transmits its movement to the said crown.
This crown is toothed interiorly and gears with the toothed wheel of fixed upon the
hub of the rear wheel, so that the toothed wheel f is also driven by the eccentric
rod b. The toothed wheel f is screwed upon the hub and locked by means of a
counter-ring, so that any change of speed can be easily and rapidly effected. For
enabling the teeth to gear accurately, the hub of the rear wheel, which receives the
toothed wheel f, is supported in eccentrics which can be held by the bush g.
The mode of operation of my improved gear is so extremely simple that it does
not appear necessary to describe the same more fully; it may however be observed
that by this gear I obviate the frequent breakage of the chain and the dangers and
inconveniences to which it exposes the rider, and that I achieve a considerable
saving of power.
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
1 claim is:
A driving gear for velocipedes and the like, which comprises an eccentric a
fixed upon the crank shaft and transmitting the rotary movement produced by the
cranks by means of the eccentric rod b and a toothed crown d to the toothed wheel f
gearing with the said crown and fixed to the hub of the rear wheel, such hub being
supported in eccentrics for enabling the speed to be rapidly changed.

page_text: I WALTER GRIFFITHS of Highgate Square Birmingham in the County of Warwick
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 :-
My invention has for its object improvements in lubricators, and refers more
particularly to those for cycle hubs by which I obviate the necessity of removing the
dust protector from the lubricating hole during the process of lubrication while at
the same time my device is perfectly dust proof and can be attached to any existing
machine with as much ease as an ordinary dust protector it is also cheap and simple
to manufacture, and free from any liability to get out of order.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I have appended a sheet of
drawings upon which
Figure 1 is an enlarged view of my guard.
Figure 2 is a section through same.
Figure 3 is a side elevation and
Figure 4 is a plan.
In carrying my invention into effect, I have shown my improvement applied to the
lubrication of a cycle hub from which its application to any other purposes will be
readily understood. The spring clip A having the usual ends a³ is provided with the
projection al which is stamped or pressed out of the metal of the clip A and is
provided with the aperture a² at its end. Within this projection the cup D is fixed,
the ball B and spring being first inserted within the cup so that the hall finds a
seat against the edge of the aperture a² of the projection al the lower end of
the cup being perforated at d with a projecting nose, which enters the
lubricating hole formed in the hub being retained therein by the spring of the
clip A.
It will thus be seen that while the ball B prevents the entrance of any dust to the
lubricating hole the insertion of the nose of the oilcan, presses the ball in, and
the oil passes down through the hole d' into the hub and upon the removal of
the oilcan, the ball is pressed instantly on to its seat again. By reducing the size
of the hole d' the oil may be so regulated in its flow that the projecting chamber a¹
may retain a quantity of oil for more gradual passage to the hub. The part a¹ may
be formed separately from the clips A, and may be attached by soldering or by
tapping and screwing, and I may vary the attachment A if so desired.
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 ball lubricating device in combination with the spring clip attachment A
substantially as for the purpose herein set forth and shown

Improvements in and appertaining to Loom Spindle Studs.
I, AARON UTTLEY of 16, Montague Street, Brierfield, in the County of Lancaster,
Overlooker, 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 is designed to lengthen the life of loom spindle studs. Instead
of having the usual countersunk hole formed in the stud for the reception of the
loom spindle I bore a conical or tapered hole of a much larger bore, and into this
tapered hole I insert a conical plug or piece of medal, so as to plug or fill up the
tapered hole.
This conical plug is countersunk for the reception of the loom
spindle. When the countersinking has become worn by the vibration of the loom
spindle, the conical plug may be renewed.
Another feature of my invention consists in my being able to fit various grades
or thicknesses of conical plugs into the said tapered hole as aforesaid, and thus
accommodate the studs to different lengths of spindles.
To enable my invention to be better understood, I have hereunto. annexed
drawings. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the front face of the stud. Fig. 2 is a side
elevation of the stud. Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively plan and elevation of the
plug.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, A is a tapered hole in the spindle stud; B the
conical plug to fit into the same, and C the countersunk hole for the reception of
the loom spindle. The dotted lined in Fig. 2 shew the tapering of the hole A,
and the plug B. Preferable the hole A completely pierces the front portion of
the stud, so as to open into the square hole D, by which the stud is bolted to the
slay sword. This enables the conical plug B to be pushed out by the insertion of
the finger into the square hole D.
In a modification the hole A may be made perfectly round and straight instead
of tapered and into it may fit a small cylindrical plug instead of tapered or
cenical plug B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I am
perfectly aware of the existence of Howarth and Robinson's Patent No. 10,209
of 1896, and have entered into arrangements with the Patentees, and I do not
intend to claim anything what they claim, but what I claim is;-
In loom spindle studs, the formation of a tapered or conical or round hole A,
provided with a tapered or round metal plug B, having a countersunk hole C
for the reception of the loom spindle, substantially as described and illustrated
for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Envelopes for Letters and the like.
I, JENNY FEIST, of 24 Adolfsallee III, Wiesbaden in the Empire of Germany,
Spinster, 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 envelopes for letters, such envelopes
being made with a perforated edge capable of being readily torn off. In order to
obviate one of the disadvantages invariably associated with this description of
envelope arising from the fact that the letter or other enclosure may get between the
edge of the envelope and the perforation, and so be liable to injury on tearing off
this edge, the space between the lower and upper perforation is gummed whereby
the letter is prevented from getting between the perforations when the envelope is
closed.
The invention is clearly shewn in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 represents an envelope completely opened out.
Figure 2 shews an envelope entirely closed, and
Figure 3 represents a finished envelope ready for use.
In order to facilitate the sealing or closing of the envelope, the flap c is cut in
the manner indicated in the drawing so that when it is folded it exactly reaches
the lower perforation 2. If the cover is bent down or folded at d the upper
perforations will exactly register with the lower perforations 62 whilst the edge a
will fold over the flap c. As shewn in Figures 1 and 2, the whole of the space
above the lower perforation 62 is gummed so that, when in use, only the portion of
the envelope extending to the perforation (Figure 2) serves for the reception of
the letter. In all other respects the envelope is made in the usual manner. The flap c
when folded down lies over the side flaps e and e¹, and the letter or other enclosure
is inserted through the top open edge provided with the perforations, whereupon
the gummed edge is moistened and the envelope closed. It will be obvious that
instead of perforating the long edge of the envelope I may equally well perforate
one of the side edges, the other dispositions corresponding in a precisely similar
manner.
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 envelope for letters having a strip upon one of its edges divided off by
perforation so that that envelope may be opened by tearing off such strip, characterised
by the fact that the inner surface of one of the two folded together edges forming
the double perforated strip is gummed for the purpose of causing the two portions of
such strip to adhere together.
2. An envelope for letters as described in Claim 1, characterised by the fact that
when folded down the covering flap (c) reaches exactly the lower perforated edge.

A[Solution for Washing and Cleansing Glass and Painted and
Varnished Surfaces.
I, THOMAS ARTHUR, of the City of Dunedin, Otago in the Colony of New
Zealand, Railway Traffic 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:
-
This invention consists in an acid solution for washing and cleansing glass
and varnished surfaces.
In carrying out the invention I take one gallon of hydrochloric acid, five
gallons of water and about one teaspoonful of common salt and mix and agitate
the same.
I first paint with it the surfaces to be cleansed and then leave the same for
about ten minutes after which I rub with sponge saturated in the solution,
thereby removing with ease all organic and other matter which gather so rapidly
on Railway Cars and finally sponge the surfaces with clean water and dry off
with chamois leather. A high polish may afterwards be produced by rubbing
up the surfaces with chamois leather when perfectly dry.
In cleansing glass I apply the solution with an ordinary paint brush, rub
till I obtain a smooth surface (which is almost instantaneously) then wash off
with sponge and water. If Railway Cars are cleansed in the manner above
described once in every six weeks or thereabouts and are sponged occasionally
with clean water and dried off with chamois leather they will always present a
new appearance and the life of varnish will thereby be prolonged. I have found
the solution very suitable for cleansing the interiors of smoking cars.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A solution for the purposes set forth consisting specifically of a mixture of
dilute hydrochloric acid and common salt substantially in the proportions
specified.

I, HUGO SEIDEL on No. 15 II Haltenhofstrasse, Hanover, Germany, Inventor,
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 smoothing-iron which is represented in the annexed drawing in Fig. 1
outside view, Fig. 2 longitudinal section and Fig. 3 a transversal section, consists
of an upper part A with a handle B fixed to it and of a lower part C which being
fixed to this so as to be substituted, forms the heating part and consequently,
substitutes the iron which is introduced into the box-iron.
This lower part is composed of a plate whose lower face forms the smoothing
surface; this latter has a rim around its upper surface; within this rim is placed
a layer of substance I) which is a non-conductor of heat such as card-board made
of mountain-flax which is attached by means of a sheet-plate & rivetted to it.
Above this latter two hooks f f project fixed in the lower part C by means of which
the handle B and the upper part A. are fixed to the lower part by the turning
pin E, the arms e of which in turning around this, are hinged under the hooks f
To avoid a displacement of the upper and lower plate tenons h are provided
before and behind, fitting into corresponding notches. in A.
This arangement offers the advantage that the lower part, when cooled down
may be easily and speedily taken away and another part heated in the meanwhile
may be fixed to the upper part; by the intercalation of the body D, which is a
non-conductor of heat a propagation and radiation of the heat upwards is avoided
so that the heat can only reflect downwards upon the smoothing surface and offers
no impediment during the operation inasmuch as the upper part A remains
always cold.
It is evident that different modes of execution may be adopted with this
smoothing iron, also the insulating layer may be fixed under the upper part of this
upper part may be entirely composed of a substance which is a bad conductor of
heat, such as, porcelain or marble.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. A smoothing-iron in which the lower heating surface is fixed to the upper part
so as to be substituted, and is separated from this upper part by a layer of sub-
tance which is a non-conductor of heat in case the upper part itself is not a
bad conductor of heat.
2. A smoothing iron substantially as described and shown.

Improvements in Circular Burners for Volatile Oil or Spirit Lamps.
I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM HEINRICH HEMPEL, of 4, Waterloo-Ufer, Berlin, in the
Empire of Germany, Engineer, 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 :—
The present invention relates to circular burners of special kind, in which volatile
combustibles, as for instance spirit, are used, and its object is to provide means for
preventing the useless volatilisation of the said combustible.
According to the invention I arrange in the interior of the wick-tube da rack and
pinion-gear z, z¹, and the rack z of this adjusting-mechanism is connected, by means
of a tube r with a cap-plate or valve 8, serving, when in its upper position, as a
deflector and permitting the closing upon the wick-tube, when the said rack is
operated by means of the transmitting gear in the downward-direction.
Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing represents the valve plate as lifted in its uppermost
position and Fig. 2 represents the same in its lower or closing position. The said
valve or cap-plate is fastened to a perforated tube e, which is connected with the
tube by means of a suitable locking-device or bayonet-coupling.
In Fig. 3 a deflector-plate of the usual kind is shown, as arranged according to the
invention; Fig. 3* is a detail-view of the same.
For igniting the lamp the cap-plate 8 is to be adjusted in its uppermost
position (Fig. 1); after extinguishing the flame, the wick o is retracted downward by
means of the wick-driving-pinion t, then the plate s is shifted by means of the gear
connected therewith, so as to lower in such a position that finally the same rests on
the wick-tube at i (Fig. 2), thus closing the latter. Therefore, the volatilisation after
such movement is prevented.
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
In combination with a circular burner for burning liquid combustibles, having a
wick tube (d), the arrangement of a valve-like closing-plate (8), which is adjustable up
and down, serving in its upper position as a deflector and protecting or closing the
wick-tube () from above in its lower position, substantially as described and shown in
the drawing.

Engineer, and JOHN EVANS, of Cleveland House, Grangetown, in the County of York,
Engineering Student, 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 improvement in the manufacture and use of water
cooled tuyeres and tuyere blocks or arches, for blast furnaces by which, the tuyeres
and tuyere blocks are made of a more durable and serviceable material than has
hitherto been used for making blast furnace tuyeres.
The object of this invention is to make a tuyere of such material that the weight
as compared with the old iron coil tuyere, will be reduced by about seventy per cent.
and the cost as compared with the present bronze tuyeres will be reduced at least
fifty or sixty per cent. whereas the higher fusing point of the metal of which it is
made will add not less than one hundred per cent. to the life of the tuyere, an advan-
tage over all others, which will be apparent to all those versed in the art. The
object also is to produce a tuyere which will greatly reduce the cost and labour round
the furnace which at the present time is often very great owing to the burning out of
the present style of tuyeres.
To accomplish the object desired we make a chambered or hollow water cooled
tuyere of thin crucible or other steel, which being considerably less fusible than
bronze, which has hitherto been used for tuyeres of the shape shewn on drawing, or
cast iron with a coiled pipe cast in ; will more readily resist the action of the molten
and hot material in the furnace; will have a longer life than either cast iron or bronze
tuyeres owing to the less fusible quality and thinness of the steel it is made of; will
materially reduce the chances of accidents as well as the risk of chilling the furnace
through burning out of tuyeres; and will be more easily handled owing to lightness.
On the accompanying drawing, A is the tuyere, B the tuyere cooler, C the tuyere
arch.
Having thus described the nature of our invention and the manner in which
the same is to be performed, we wish it to be understood that we claim as our
invention:-
First. A hollow blast furnace tuyere made of crucible or other steel irrespective of
shape.
Second. For blast furnaces a hollow water cooled blast tuyere and tuyere arch of
crucible or other cast steel, irrespective of shape, substantially as described and
exhibited.
Third. For blast furnaces a hollow water cooled tuyere, tuyere arch and tuyere
cooler cast in crucible or other steel irrespective of shape substantially as described
and exhibited.

County of London, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hair brushes and has for object the
utalising of the backs of military shaped hair brushes for the reception of various
toilet articles thereby enabling space to be utalised that previously has not been
utalised.
According to my invention I so construct the brush that an opening or space
is made through the back of the brush between the block and the upper part of
the back thereof to enable a box or case of the same design as the opening and
made of metal or other substance to be deposited therein, from the side, or from
any other point, or by any other means.

Chill Mould for Casting Rolls.

Chill Mould for Casting Rolls.
I, FRANZ KIRSTEN, Workmaster of Siegen, 8 Hagenerstreet in the Province of
Westphalia and Kingdom of Prussia do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In order to obtain the hardness of the rolls in the manufacture of chilled shafts,
the former are cast in a chill-mould made of cast-iron, which by the direct chilling
gives the roll which is to be hardened the requisite chill.
In this method of casting there is the disadvantage that after the melted iron
has been poured in the chill mould expands outwardly owing the sudden heat
and that a vacuum forms between the metal which has become hardened at the
extreme crust and the chill-mould, causing the fluid iron in the inside to break
through crust and in consequence resulting in a frequent cracking of the rolls.
In order to obviate these disadvantages, I have constructed a chill-mould for
producing chilled rolls, in the inner bored out surface of which iron rods are laid
round in the circumference. The rods require not a close accession one toward
another, the same are thinner in the middle so that they only touch the surface
on the inner and outer circumference.
When the fluid iron is poured in the iron rods expand owing to the sudden
heat; the outer chill mould does not come into contact with the fluid iron and
can therefore not expand correspondingly. The inner rods are therefore forced
in their expansion to contract towards the inner circumference and thus to lie
very tightly against the stiffened roller, and the vacuum formed in the method
hitherto in use, is no longer formed.
The drawing shows a chill-mou a in a longitudinal section and ground-plan,
an the inserted iron-rods which have been described are marked b.
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:
In the casting of chilled rolls an arrangement in which an inner chill-mould
is formed by a number of successive iron rods between an outer mould and the
metal that is to be poured in.

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 stands for cycles, and in accordance
therewith I provide a stand, adjustable in height and convenient of manipulation,
upon which a bicycle may be suspended or supported when not in use.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood I will now particularly
describe same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings upon which
Fig. 1 represents in front elevational view a cycle stand constructed in accordance
with this invention (a portion of a bicycle being shewn in dotted lines in position
upon the stand) and Fig. 2 an end elevational view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in both figures.
The stand may be constructed of metal, wood, or any other suitable material and
consists of an upright a carried upon a base or foot b. The upright a is formed or
fitted with guide loops or bands c c in which works the tee or cross piece d capable of
adjustment as to height (to suit requirements) by means of the spring piece e
conveniently attached at lower end to the loop c, and formed with a projection f
(see Fig. 2) at or near its upper end which takes into any desired hole or aperture g
of a series formed in the vertical part of the tee piece, d. At a suitable height upon
the upright a I attach or form a projecting bracket h upon which I pivot a bifurcated
arm of a width suitable to contain the tyre of one of the wheels of the cycle. The
ends d¹ of the horizontal arms of the tee piece d I bend around so as to form
projections upon which the frame of the cycle may rest. These ends may if desired
be covered with india-rubber felt, leather, or any other suitable material.
In operation the stand is adjusted as to height so as to support the cycle clear of
the ground when carried by its frame upon the projections d' d of the stand. When
placing the cycle in position the pivoted bifurcated arm i is preferably thrown up as
shewn in Fig. 2 and then let down upon the tyre of the wheel. The cycle is then
held securely and firmly in position upon the stand.
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 improvements in stands for cycles substantially as shown and described.
2. In cycle stands the upright a, base b, loops c c¹, tee piece d with projecting ends d¹
and holes or apertures 9 spring e with projection, bracket n and bifurcated arm i,
all combined, constructed, and operating substantially as hereinbefore described and
shewn.
