Improvements in Supply Valves Fitted to Water-waste-preventer
Cisterns.
ELLIOTT EMANUEL, JOSEPH WOOD, & THOMAS JOHN ALEMUEL CRUMP, of
A. Emanuel & Sons Limited Brass Founders 53 Marylebone Lane, Oxford Street,
London, W., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
==
It consists of a valve worked by an ordinary ball & lever (to supply a tank or
cistern) the outlet of which is controlled by a second valve worked by means of a
projecting arm that by attachment to the cistern lever is arranged to completely close
the valve and prevent any flow of water through the valve during such time as the
cistern lever is raised.

Cisterns.
ELLIOTT EMANUEL (Director) JOSEPH WOOD (Secretary) & THOMAS JOHN
ALEMUEL CRUMP (Foreman) of Messrs. A. Emanuel & Sons, Limited, of 53, Maryle-
bone Lane, Oxford Street, London, W., Sanitary 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 consists of a double valve worked by an ordinary ball & lever to
supply a tank or cistern the lever of second valve being attached to the main lever of
cistern by a sling, chain, or other suitable device. The drawing fig. 1. on sheet one
shows a side elevation of the valve as it is proposed to be made Fig. 2. on sheet 1.
shows a side section Figures Nos. 3 & 4. on sheet 2. a front elevation & section
respectively.
It will be seen that when the ball lever (A) is dropped it opens the main valve (B)
by moving back the piston (C) & thus allows the water to flow through the valve but
the lever (D) of second valve (E) being lowered at the same time the spring (F)
forces the cap (G) down on the seating & thus stops the water flowing till the lever (D)
is released The piston (C) is fitted with a rubber or leather washer on the front to
cover the seating (H) and thus prevent any leakage of water through the head of the
valve.
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―
First.) The use of the two valves (B, and E,) working together substantially as
described in the specification.
Secondly.) The whole of the apparatus combined & method of using the same
substantially as described in the specification.

An Improvement in Bicycles Consisting of a Support for Enabling
a Bicycle and the Rider to Remain Stationary in a Given
Position without the latter Alighting from the Machine.
I, EDWARD SCOTT of 6, Compton Terrace Brighton, l'rofessor of Dancing, 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 consists of an arm or extension to the fork of the front or steering
wheel of a bicycle, A to which arm a small wheel B is attached. The arm projects
outwards from the large wheel, so far, and at such a distance from the ground, that,
upon the handle of the machine being turned by the rider beyond a certain point, the
small added wheel also comes in contact with the ground, and enables the bicycle to
remain stationary, in consequence of the centre of gravity of the machine and rider
falling within the base of the three wheels then touching the ground.
The distance at which the small added wheel is placed from the large steering wheel
is regulated by the shape of the bicycle, and forward inclination of the fork. The
aforesaid arm or extension may either be made as a part of the bicycle as in Fig. 2
or affixed to an ordinary machine so as to be removable at pleasure, see Fig. 1.
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 arm or extension to fork and wheel attached thereto.

Improved Method for Raising and Lowering Pedestal and other
Lamps.
I WALTER HERBERT SINGER Art Metal Worker The Conigre Frome Somerset
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 of raising and lowering pedestal and other lamps
whereby they may remain balanced at any desired elevation without requiring to be
fixed in such positions by means of set screws or springs hitherto employed for that
purpose.
The combination of parts which I employ to attain this result is shewn by the
accompanying drawing in all the Figures of which like reference letters indicate the
same part.
Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section of a pedestal lamp raised to its highest
point. Figure 4 is an elevation partly in section of the same pedestal lamp lowered
to its lowest point. Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged detail views in plan.
By means of any ornamental frame-work I support vertically a tubular standard E
having inserted at its upper part a guide C through which a shaft G passes supporting
at its upper end the receptacle for the lamp.
The guide C not only forms a steadying guide for the shaft G but forms also a
guide for the double lines or chains B and carries pullies D over which such lines or
chains B pass to be fastened at one extremity to the lower part of the shaft G and
at the other extremity to an annular counterpoise A fitted to slide in the tubular
standard E.
The annular counterpoise A is adjusted in weight to maintain the shaft G in any
position to which it may be raised or lowered and being hollow allows the shaft G to
pass through it and thus work the full length of the tube E below the guide C.
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 1
claim is,
The combination of the tubular standard E,-the-guide-C, the lines or chains B-and

An Improved Fly Paper.
We, FREDERICK TUNBRIDGE and JOSEPH NEWTON WRIGHT, both of 83 and 84
Broad Street Reading, Berkshire, Manufacturing Chemists, 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 our invention relates to a new and improved fly paper of a sticky nature and the
novelty of the said invention consists in the manner of folding the said fly papers in
order that they may be conveniently packed for transmission, export etc.; and further
that they may be conveniently handled without their sticking to the hands.
Hitherto when sticky fly papers were packed closely together the sticky material of
which the fly papers are partly composed exuded from the edges thereof and, coming
in contact with the other papers immediately above and below made the whole a sticky
mass objectional to handle and awkward to unpack and separate.
Now by the use of our invention, the above referred to objections are entirely
overcome in a neat, simple and efficacous manner hereinafter described, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings, and the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1. represents a fly paper unfolded ready for use. Fig. 2 shows the fly paper
in plan and folded ready for packing. Fig. 3. is an end view of the fly paper
folded.
In the manufacture of our improved fly papers we take a sheet of oiled or other
waterproof or suitable paper A, the one side of which is coated with a suitable sticky
or tacky material B in the usual way. The said sticky material does not however as
in other fly papers cover the entire surface of the paper, inasmuch as a plain margin C,
is left along the two side edges as shown, or, if desired, extending entirely around the
paper, and which enables the papers to be handled without soiling the fingers.
In order that the fly papers may be conveniently packed, they are folded at a
point D, as shown in Fig. 2, and with the two sticky surfaces E, F, together. The
two side margins C, (as also the third or remaining edge G, when provided with a
margin) are turned over as shown in Fig. 3, and by thus folding the papers and
turning over the edges, the sticky material is prevented from exuding when closely
packed.
Having now particularly described our said invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is: :-
Folding the fly paper and turning over the edges, substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Chairs for Railway Rails.
1, WYBRANTS GEORGE OLPHERTS of No. 38 Ebury Street, Pimlico, in the County
of London, 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 chairs for railway rails, applicable to
wood or metal sleepers the principal objects which I have in view being to support
the rail by the head instead of letting it bear on the base of the chair, and to secure
the rail by metal wedge keys instead of the wooden keys which are apt to become
loose and to perish. Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view and Fig. 2 is
a plan of a chair according to my invention fixed on a wooden sleeper. Figs. 3 and 4
are corresponding views of the chair fixed on a metal sleeper of trough form. The
chair consists of a base plate A with one jaw B cast in one piece with it. The other
jaw is fitted to slide between two side ribs D projecting up from the base A, and
it is held by a wedge key E, preferably of steel, which is driven through slots of the
ribs and jaw. The jaws are somewhat inclined on their faces so as to give the rail
the required tilt, and they clamp the sides of the rail immediately under the head so
that the rail is suspended by them, its lower head being clear above the base of the
chair. As the lower head is not deforined by hammering on the base, the rail can
at any time be inverted presenting a smooth face for traffic. The chair is secured to
a wooden sleeper by spikes F or it might be by coach screws. The chair secured
to a metal sleeper by hook bolts G, the hook heads of which can be passed down
through slots cut in the upper face of the sleeper.
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:
A chair for railway rails having cast in one piece a base plate, an outer jaw and
slotted projecting ribs, between which ribs an inner moveable jaw is secured by a
metal wedge key driven through slots of the ribs and jaw, the jaws clamping the
rail and suspending it by the head, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Nuts.
I, OLIVER HORTON, of 11, Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow Gun and Fishing Rod
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 object of my Invention is to produce a nut which—for instance in nuts applied
to hose couplings or to the joints of fishing rods shall not unscrew or unfasten
themselves by a slight jerk but which nuts being produced in the manner hereinafter
described shall remain fixed when screwed home" and will not work loose by
vibration.
The accompanying sheet of drawings illustrates the nuts according to my Invention
I make of the required shape and I form a slit therein which slit may be straight
angular, shaped or semicircular as shown at Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 or of other
suitable shape and may be formed entirely through one side of the nut or through
only one of its edges; or I may attain the required end by punching, or cutting
partially out of one edge or side of the nut a tongue of suitable shape shown at a
Figure 6.
In the case of either punching or slitting the part cut is to be bent inwards so as to
press in the manner of a spring on the male screw, and thus to cause the nut to work
stiffly.
The nuts produced according to my Invention to be made of suitable metal for
yielding the aforesaid spring like action or to be tempered after the slitting or punching
operations are completed as may be found suitable.
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 nuts made according to my Invention the forming of a slit or slits or the partial
punching or cutting out of a tongue in the side or edge of said nuts for producing a
spring like action herein set forth.

I, CAROLINE ARCOLINI, of 3 Place St. Sulpice, Paris, in the Republic of France,
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 application relates to an improved method of fastening the soles of
boots, shoes and the like to the uppers.
In the accompanying drawings ;-
Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a shoe.
Fig. 2 represents a plan of the same.
Figs. 3 to 8 represent transverse sections of the shoe showing the different modes of
fastening the sole to the upper.
Up to the present the leather of the upper has been turned in and fastened to
the sole by means of pegs, rivets, screws, stitches or otherwise.
a ridge inevitably has resulted and it has been necessary to beat the interior of
In consequence
the shoe or to glue or paste an insole in the shoe so as to level the surface which
would come in contact with the foot.
Besides water, dust or other strange substances can easily penetrate.
In my system the edge of the upper A is turned outwards and forms a lateral pro-
jection B. This projection is flush with the edge of the sole C and is covered with a
welt D all around the fore part of the foot. On this edge which may project to a
arger or smaller extent than is shown in the drawings the sole is fastened to the
ipper.
In figure 3 the sole is represented as fastened to the upper by means of screw bolts
nd nuts E, in figure 4 by means of screws F with countersunk heads, in figure 5 by
means of screw bolts I with countersunk heads, the nuts being at the top, in figure 6
y means of rivets J, in figure 7 by means of rivets with counter sunk heads and in
gure 8 by means of sewing.
It is evident that other forms of pegs, rivets, screws, bolts, stitches and the like can
e used without deviating from the principle of the invention.

page_text: The welt D can be of any material and this mode of fastening the sole to the upper
can be employed with any kind of boots or shoes.
This mode of fastening facilitates the manufacture and repairs, it renders the joint
between the sole and upper dust and water-tight and obviates any ridges or projec-
tions in the interior of the boot or shoe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. In the manufacture of boots shoes and the like fastening the soles to the out-
turned edges of the upper substantially as specified.
2. A boot shoe or the like the sole of which is fastened to the upper by fastenings
passing through the sole and the out-turned edge of the upper substantially as herein
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Toy Bricks or Blocks and in Ties to be Employed
therewith.
,
I, WALTER BRIERLEY, of Central Chambers, Halifax in the County of York,
Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention, communicated to me
from abroad by Jean Wolfgang Arold of Nürnberg, Germany, Manufacturer, 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 children's building bricks or blocks which have all the
common drawback, that they must be handled with the greatest precaution. For
while erecting a building, on a table or other insecure base a slight shaking of the
table is often sufficient to bring the structure down. Neither do the buildings bricks
or blocks as constructed admit of building whole structures by means of bricks alone
and have been provided in one or more pieces complete as windows arches &c.
The object of the invention is to create a tie between the single bricks or blocks
that can easily be placed in position and detached whereby the accidental overthrow
of the structure is avoided and the possibility afforded of erecting all kinds of
buildings by single bricks.
This object I attain by use of a spring or elastic tie piece hereinafter fully
described and illustrated by annexed drawings in which :-
Figs. 1, 2, 3 are front and side elevations of various forms of the spring ties Fig. 4
is an elevation of a brick or block and its locking disc. Figs. 4. 5 shew spring ties
applied to two or on four sides of a brick or block.
The bricks are bored in the middle of different sides and provided with a locking
disc a having an opening b according to the shape of the connecting link, in the
opening 6 of the disc a the half of one of the connecting links shewn in Figs. 1. 3 is
inserted and the other half protruding, from the brick or block is covered or joined
by another brick or block which is also provided with a disc, in this way a reliable
yet easily detachable tie is provided.
The latter consists as shewn by the drawings of a middle piece c the remaining
portions composing the springs d. These springs d are pressed together previously to
inserting in opening b of the disc a and the ties tend through their expansion and by
their form to draw the bricks or blocks together and ensure the latter fitting closely
at their joints.
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 building bricks or blocks a disc faced or locking hole in combination with
which are employed spring or elastic ties, of construction substantially as herein fully
described, and illustrated by the drawings annexed.

The sketch herewith shows an improved form of piling under my invention, a is
the web, is a bead along one edge of the web e is a jaw along the other edge and
d is a wedge shaped foot to allow of the pile being easily driven into the soil or
foundation. In practise a pile is driven to the required depth in any suitable
position, a second pile is placed with the jaws of one pile gripping the head of the
other and is driven home, additional piles are then added until the wall is complete.
It will be evident that the form of the jaws and beads may be varied and that the
piles may be of cast or wrought metal either all in one piece or built 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:-
First. Sheet metal piling having a web and interlocking devices substantially as
