COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Long Arm for the Use of Florists.
I, ROBERT SAVAGE, of 7, London Road, Twickenham in the County of
Middlesex, Ironmonger, 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 device or apparatus for use by florists, gardeners and
others for enabling them to remove flower pots from or to shelves or staging out of
reach.
My improved device comprises a fork adapted to be connected to a handle or
stale and having pivotted within it a crescent-shaped clip adapted to fit the upper
part of a flower pot so that the weight of the lower part will retain the pot
vertical.
A stop on the clip serves to keep the same in position when being used for level
staging.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved long arm or lifting device; and,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same:
Figure 3 is a view drawn to a smaller scale than Figures 1 and 2 illustrating my
long-arm in use.
a is the fork the tang 6 of which is connected to a handle or stale c.
d is the crescent-shaped clip having two pivots or trunnions e, carried in the
ends of the prongs of the fork and serving to support the clip therein and f is the
stop for limiting the movement of the clip relatively to the fork.
It will be obvious that when the clip is passed over a flower pot and is beneath
the rim of the same that the said flower pot will hang vertically notwithstanding
the angle of the stale and fork.
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 device or apparatus for lifting flower-pots having a crescent-shaped clip
pivotally mounted in a fork, substantially as described.

An Improved Gully Trap.
Year: 1893

page_text: Date of Application, 23rd Mar., 1893—Accepted, .29th Apr., 1893
An Improved Gully Trap.
GEORGE LAW Junr., Comberton Hill, Kidderminster, Contractor, 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 gully traps, especially
adapted for the purpose of receiving refuse water from domestic premises conveyed
to it by a surface gutter.
The gully trap is in the form of a deep box, from the front end of which at about
the middle, an outlet proceeds to the sewer.
At the other end an extension is furnished at the upper part, projecting rear-
wardly for some distance, and having a bottom sloping downwards towards the
trap, in the lower part of which a removable receptacle is placed, having a handle
by which it can be removed when the grating is raised.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a vertical cross section of the
complete trap.
A is the body of the gully, consisting of a deep box of rectangular or other
form, having at its front end the curved pipe or outlet a, which serves to carry the
water from the gully to the sewer.
The rear extension B at the top of the gully serves to lead the refuse from the
gutter into the bottom of the gully, the sloping bottom 6 directing the sand and
dirt which may be carried by the water into the receptacle C placed in the bottom
of the gully. This receptacle is furnished with the handle c, by which it can be
raised and removed for clearing out when desired.
The water fills the receptacle and, after it has risen sufficiently high in the gully,
overflows through the outlet a, the sediment being deposited in the removable box.
The grating D is made to slope from the rear end next to the gutter, upwards to
the front or outlet end, coming flush with the top of the gully and the surrounding
paving, in order to prevent a ridge being formed at the end. The grating is
also channelled gradually towards the gutter end, to meet the channel of the
gutter.
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 gully trap for refuse water from gutter, consisting of a deep box, having
a pipe or outlet at the front and about the middle, leading to the sewer, a removable
receptacle for retaining any sand and dirt passing into the gully, and a rear
extension at the upper part, with sloping bottom down which the water from the
gutter flows, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2) The improved gully trap with removable receptacle, extension with sloping
bottom, and sloping grating, constructed substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings and for the purposes specified.

same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:―
My invention relates to the manufacture of soap compositions and the object of

Improvements in Drill Bits for use with Percussion Rock Drills.
I, CHARLES WILLIAM BURTON of 158 Queen Victoria Street, in the County of
London, 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 :-
Up to the present time the drill bits used for boring holes with percussion rock
drills have been made of steel bars having either a circular or polygonal section.
It has been found in practice that when a vertical or slanting hole is being bored
upwards it is impossible to inject water to a sufficient depth into it. The result is
that the mud which is formed clogs the bit and impedes the proper working of the
drill.
If, on the other hand, the hole is bored dry, although its clogging by mud is
avoided, there still remains the great inconvenience and injury to the workmen
caused by the powder or dust formed by the action of the percussion drill.
The object of my invention is to overcome these difficulties by the use of a new
form of drill bit so constructed that it automatically clears itself and the hole at the
same time of the mud or debris which is formed whilst the hole is being bored.
In order to effect this object I make the bit of the form shown in section by
Fig. 1 and in elevation by Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings. It consists of a
steel or other suitable metal rod, square or rectangular in section and twisted so
that its corners form helical or screw threads. Owing to this formation the
reciprocating movement of the bit combined with its rotary motion in the proper
direction effects extrusion of the mud or debris from the hole whilst it is being
bored and thus allows free action to the bit.
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 use of a drill bit for a percussion rock drill consisting of a metal rod of
square or rectangular section twisted so that its corners form helical or screw threads.
substantially as herein before described.

Improvements in Hollow Tyres for Bicycles, Tricycles,
and the like.
I, EMIL OSKAR ZIMMERMANN of 3 Speersort Hamburg, Free-state of
Hamburg, Empire of Germany, 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 :-
The present invention relates to improvements in hollow tyres for bicycles,
tricycles and the like, and consists in forming the tyre of a combination of woven
material with some elastic substance such as, india-rubber, caoutchouc etc. in
tubular form, the running surface being made considerably stronger than the rest
of the tyre. The invention further relates to the peculiar method of attaching the
tyre to the rim of the wheel, by means of which the tyre works highly elastically
without the aid of compressed air.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figs. 1 and 14 show the improved tyre in cross-section before being drawn on
the wheel.
Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the tyre attached to the rim, and
Fig. 3 shows a wheel provided with such a tyre.
The tyre is formed as a hollow tube of the above described materials in such a
manner, that the strength of the walls is either the same throughout, or that the
wall of that part of the tyre intended for the running surface, is made stouter,
being eventually formed with a more or less broad flat face. (Fig. 14.) On the
opposite side, the tyre is cut open on the line - round the whole circumference,
and then, with the interior sides of the two ends thus produced pressed together,
brought into the rim a of the wheel (Fig. 2).
The compression of the tyre, whilst in use together with the tension of the tyre
surfaces c and d over the whole of the tyre, which tension is increased by the
form of rim used, produces an elasticity far surpassing that produced in tyres of
closed circular section and filled with compressed air.
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,
Hollow tyres for bicycles, tricycles and the like, consisting of the combination
of woven material with some elastic substance such as india-rubber or caoutchouc,
with the running surface eventually strengthened on the exterior, and arranged in
such a manner in the rim of the wheel, that the interior sides b-c and d-e of the
tyre, produced by cutting the same open circumferentially, are pressed together
and brought into the interior of the rim, producing a high elasticity without the
aid of compressed air, substantially as herein described with reference to the
accompanying drawing.

A communication from CHARLES CHRISTIAN ERNST LESEN BERG, of Rostock,
Mecklenburg, Germany.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I. Mech. E. and Chartered Patent 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 :-
In the railway shunter shown in the accompanying drawing all the power
expended is applied in the most advantageous manner by the claw 6 of the lever c
keeping its working point constantly on the wheel during its movement resulting
from the outer end of the lever (c) being pressed downward, the claw moving in the
cycloidal path of the point of the wheel upon which it bears so that the power is
constant throughout the path of the working point.
For this purpose the lever c is loosely mounted on an eccentric pivot d so that
the claw b at the end of its path has moved not only vertically but also sufficiently
in a horizontal direction to ensure its following the cycloidal path.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, & in what manner
the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A railway shunter in which the claw of the lever acting against the wheel is
kept constantly applied to the same part of the wheel during its movement by the
lever being eccentrically fulcrummed.
2. A railway shunter in which the lever is eccentrically fulcrummed substantially
as and for the purpose described.
3. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete railway
shunter substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Eggimann and Hediger, of Bienne in the Republic of Switzerland Cigar, Cigarette
and Tobacco Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists in providing each cigar or cigarette, covered with tobacco
leaf or otherwise made without paper, with a special mouthpiece inserted and fixed
in the cigar or said cigarette in the process of manufacture so as to leave a certain
length of its substance projecting from the end of the cigar so that when the latter
is held between the lips or between the teeth the covering of the cigar and also the
filling are equally out of contact with the lips or tongue of the smoker so that by
the use of this invention the known injurious as well as disagreeable effects of
direct absorbtion of nicotine by contact with the tobacco itself are prevented
while the cigar is rendered more convenient and comfortable to hold in the
mouth.
The mouthpiece is so made that it contains a conical or ogival recess or chamber
for reception of the end of the filler there being inserted a small filtering plug in
the bottom of this recess from which a tubular passage extends to the end of the
mouthpiece which projects only so far that when the outer tobacco leaf or wrapper
is wound about the filler it may overlap the mouthpiece for about a half of its
length thus concealing part thereof and firmly fixing it in place while leaving
uncovered sufficient of the mouthpiece to effect the purposes herein before stated.
The mouthpiece is preferably made of any suitable tough wood.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention and method of performing it;

Improvements in Connections for Belting and the like.
I, ARTHUR WILLIAM MCLEOD KEEN, of No. 37 St. Genevieve Street, in the
City of Montreal, in the District of Montreal and Province of Quebec, Dominion
of Canada, 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 invention relates to means for connecting together the meeting edges of
leather belting and the like and has for its object to produce a much simpler con-
nection, and consequently one more easily effected or constructed, as well as more
economical than those heretofore made. For this purpose I make a metallic con-
nection secured by fusion between the two meeting edges of the ends of the belting
as I shall describe with reference to the annexed drawings in the several figures of
which like letters indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of two meeting ends of a belt to be connected; Fig. 2 a
similar view showing such ends connected; Fig. 3 a longitudinal section and Fig. 4
an edge elevation of the same.
A B are two end portions of a length of belting to be connected together;
CC are facing strips of copper or similar metal fixed by screws D D to the edges
of the belt.
When the strips C are thus secured in place the two ends are brought together
and the strips are united by fusion either by welding them electrically or by
soldering or brazing.
By this form of connection a saving of leather is effected since no extensive over-
lapping of the ends is required and there are no lateral projections or connecting
parts exposed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The herein described method of connecting the meeting edges of belting and
the like by fixing on their edges metallic facing strips and uniting these by fusion.
2. In combination with the meeting edges of the ends of belting as A, B, the
metallic facing strips C C retained by screws D D and united by fusion, substan-
tially as described.

Improvement in Pencil Sharpeners.
1, ANTON BENDA, of No. 15, Wilson Street, Finsbury, in the County of London,
Importer and Dealer in Oriental Goods, do hereby declare the nature of this
nvention 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 an improvement in pencil sharpeners.
According to my invention I make a pencil sharpener with two or more cones
each provided with a sharpening blade, the said cones being of varying diameter so
as to enable them to sharpen pencils also of varying diameter.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figures 1 and 2 are an elevation and end view of one form of pencil sharpener
having two sharpening cones:
Figure 3 illustrates another form of sharpener having two sharpening cones;
and,
Figure 4 is an elevation of a sharpener having three sharpening cones.
The sharpener is provided with a cone a at both ends each of which is provided
The spaces, between these cones is
with a knife blade bin the usual manner.
provided with lugs forming finger pieces c, c which facilitate the use of the
sharpener by enabling it to be readily held against rotation when sharpening a
pencil.
In the sharpener shewn in Figure 3 one cone is placed at right angles to the
other so that when a pencil is being sharpened in one cone the other cone serves as
a lever for holding the same.
In the arrangement of my invention shewn in Figure 4 three cones are arranged
in the form of the letter T so that when either of the two cones a, a is being used
the third cone a' serves as a lever for holding the sharpener, whilst when the cone a¹
is used the two cones a, a serve as the lever.
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 improvement in pencil sharpeners consisting in providing the same with
two or more sharpening cones of varying diameter, substantially as, and for the

page_text: 2. The manufacture and use of pencil sharpeners substantially in the manner
hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Envelopes or Wrappers.
I, WILLIAM HARRIS, residing at 109 East 17th Street, in the City of Paterson,
County of Passaic and State of New Jersey, Silk Weaver, 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 provide an envelope or wrapper so gummed that
a person may moistou the flap for the purpose of sealing or enclosing the same
without the experiencing nausea or other disagreeable result such as are now
experienced by persons in moistening the gummed flap of an envelope or wrapper by
drawing the tongue across the same.
The invention consists of the envelope or wrapper hereinafter described and
shown in the drawings accompanying this Specification and forming a part thereof.
The essentially novel feature is the gumming of the envelope.
In the drawings C represents an envelope of ordinary construction, A being the
flap and B the portion of the body of the envelope which is covered by the flap
when the envelope is sealed.
It has hitherto been the custom to have the flap of the envelope gummed and in
order to seal the envelope the person using it generally moistens the gum on the flap
by drawing the tongue over the gummed portion of the flap.
The disagreeable results following this method are too well known to call for any
mention here.
I avoid the aforesaid disagreeable or unpleasant results by gumming the portion
of the envelope enclosed in the dotted line and indicated by the letter B.
A person may moisten the flap of the envelope, and the moistened flap may
then be pressed down over the portion B which is gummed, thereby sealing the
envelope.
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:-
As a new article of manufacture the envelope C provided with a flap A and
gummed portion B substantially as shown and described and for the purpose
specified.

An Improved Pneumatic Water Elevator.
I, HEINRICH BLUHM, Tin Worker of Potsdam in the Kingdom of Prussia
and Empire of Germany 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 pneumatic water elevator for house supply, by which
the water is raised through tubes from a well near the house, and dispenses with
the necessity of having working machinery in contact with and fouling the water.
I will now describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which A denotes the well. c is a closed chamber lowered into the well. This
chamber is connected by tubes d, d', to an air pump B, and by other tubes e, e', to
the tube which supplies the house. One end of the tube e comes down inside the
chamber c so as almost to touch the bottom of it, the other end is attached to the
flexible tube el which is again connected to the house supply tube f. The tube d
is also flexible. c¹ is a valve which admits the water from the well to the chamber c,
and is closed when the air pressure is applied but allows the water to enter when
the air pump is inactive or when a small vent tap 6, is opened. In the latter case
the pressure of air on the water in the chamber c is taken away & water enters
at c', the chamber c sinking on to the brackets a, a, at the same time.
When the vent tap b, shut off and the air pump put in action, the chamber c
immediately commences to ascend and fill with air, shutting off the valve c¹ and
driving the water in the chamber c upwards and along the tubes e and e¹ into
the house supply tube f. If water is drawn from the cock f the chamber c
sinks and fills again with water. The vessel c can be provided with an air
chamber which will store up such a quantity of compressed air that any sudden
backflow of water from the house supply tube into the chamber c will be
prevented and water will continue to rise in the supply pipe after the opening
of the cock f, until the pressure of the compressed air is exhausted.
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 pneumatic water elevator for supplying houses and other buildings, by
means of which water is raised from a well or cistern, through a closed chamber
and tubes to a supply cistern or tube furnished with taps, by means of air
pressure from an air-pump. The said closed chamber being moveable so that
when air is pumped into it, it rises in the water and when empty it falls again
on to brackets placed to receive it, and is refilled, by means of an automatic
valve, at its lower end, as herein described and set forth.
