Improved Mitre Cutting Machine.
ALFRED EDWIN MACKETT, 8, Halsbury Road, Kingsdown, Bristol,
Mechanical Engineering Demonstrator, 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 machine of simple construction whereby
mitres can be cut upon picture frame mouldings or mouldings of a similar
character with precision and expedition.
On the annexed sheet of drawings, Fig 1, is a side elevation, Fig. 2, a plan and
Fig. 3, a perspective view of the machine showing cutter (riz. an ordinary plane
iron with back iron removed) in position for cutting mitres at an angle of 45
degrees.
The machine comprises a frame or shoe of the particular construction as shown
in the annexed drawings and indicated by A, having two vertical side cheeks in
the front bevelled at an angle of 45 degrees to the base or sole of the machine, to
the which are attatched by means of set screws B, angle pieces C, and being set at
such a distance above the hevel upon the front side cheeks as to allow an ordinary
plane iron to slide accurately in the groove formed thereby.
The back end of shoe is provided with two uprights upon which to pivot hand
lever D. The hand lever to be of suitable length and provided with a plunger E,
pivoted as indicated at F, being provided with a pin H, to engage in the circular
hole usually provided in plane irons.
The hand lever works in a vertical plane and directly over centre of machine.
The front side cheeks are provided with set screws I, for clamping material to be
operated upon to prevent possibility of recoil whilst the cutting action is being
proceeded with.
The sole plate or bed of machine is provided with bearing strips J, to facilitate
the truing up of the front side cheeks to the angle of 45 degrees.
The machine is most conveniently used by being screwed down to the top of a
bench, the moulding upon which it is desired to cut the mitre being placed upon
the bearing strips J.
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 :-
1. The particular arrangement and construction of an improved mitre cutting
machine as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
2. The particular arrangement and provision in such machines for the adaptation
of an ordinary plane iron as a cutter.

Improvements in or appertaining to Driving Belts or Bands.
I, PAUL RAOUL DE FAUCHEUX D'HUMY of New York in the United States
of America and now residing at 6, Edmund Street, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster 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 :-
In my Patent application No. 19899 the Provisional Specification failed to
contain the whole of the invention as now elaborated by me. While therefore I
propose to set out the entire invention in the Complete Specification of that
application, I propose to reserve therein parts of the said invention in order to
claim them in the present application.
My present invention relates specially to Figures 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of the said Patent,
Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this showing the junctions between the bands, both
metallic and leather or other material.
⋅
The metallic bands A' are preferably notched on the overlapping ends and wire
wound in the manner set forth in Figure 3 from notch to notch, thus holding the
whole tight. The leather or other like bands are jointed by means of metallic or
other caps E rivetted to the ends of the bands by means of one or more rivets F
substantially as set forth in Figures 1 and 2 and are then united by rivet wires or
staples D passing through holes in the caps of the bands substantially as set forth
in the said figures. Other staples D' attach the metallic bands A' to the leather
or other bands B as more fully described in my former application.
The object of using metallic caps is to prevent the wires from tearing out the
substance.
I may find it necessary to have more than one rivet F and these rivets will, in
such case, preferably be arranged in a diagonal manner and not in a single line
across the band.
I further wish to cover the method of uniting the belts B substantially as set
forth in Figures 4 and 5, by a series of flat staples D driven in on the one side 'and
clenched on the other.
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 method of joining up metallic belts, which consists in notching the two
ends, superimposing them and binding them round with wire.
2. The method of joining up leather or other like belts which consists in providing
each end with a strong cap E firmly rivetted or attached thereto, and then uniting
the two by wire staples, wire lashing or their equivalent, passing from cap to cap
and firmly binding the two together.
3. The method of joining or uniting belts which consists in driving through the
belt a series of flat staples, such as D, on one side, and clenching it on the other
side, substantially as described and illustrated with reference to Figures 4 and 5.

Improvements in Pump Valves.
I HENRY SMITH of 101 Grosvenor Road, Pimlico, in the County of Middlesex,
Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
mannor the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in pump valves of the kind known as flap
or butterfly valves, used for pumping sewage or other fluid. For whereas flap
valves of ordinary construction are allowed to close by their own weight, they
thereby cause shock and noise in the pump, in addition to which they are uncertain
in their action owing to their liability to hang up or stick fast. They also allow of
a considerable amount of slip past them through the sluggishness of their action.
These objections are overcome by the use of springs which exert a continuous
pressure on the valve, thus as in all spring loaded valves effecting a noiseless and
certain closing and at the same time reducing slip to a minimum.
Fig. I is an end elevation, Fig. II a side elevation, Fig. III is a plan view. In
these figures, a, represents the valve seat; b, b, the valve doors or flaps, c, the hinge
pin on which the flaps work aud d, d, are springs centred on the hinge pin and.
exerting their pressure on snugs e, e, which are cast on the valve flaps.
It will be seen therefore that as the valve opens, the snug e is raised and the
spring is coiled up, which as soon as the flow through the valvo has ceased, closes
the door firmly. And although the illustration only shews a butterfly valve with
one spring to each flap it is to be understood that this invention applies to single
flap valves with one or more. springs fitted to each, as well as to flap valves with
leather or other flexible hinges or to flap valves of any other knowu description
whatever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be under-
stood that I do not confine myself to the exact methods of construction shewn on
the drawings, as they may be modified to suit different circumstances, I declare that
what I claim is:
1. The use of springs applied to flap or butterfly valves used for pumping sewage
or other fluid for the purpose of securing a noiseless and effective closing of the
valve substantially as described and illustrated.
2. Improved spring loaded pump valves of the flap or butterfly type substantially
as described and illustrated.

1, GEORGE ANTHONY SPOKES, of 7 Western Terrace, Northampton,.
Northamptonshire, 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 the construction of the feeding part or regulator of an
electric arc lamp and will be understood by the annexed drawing. It consists in
the combination of a break A with a governor or pallet arrangement B, which
works in a tooth wheel C, on the side of which is a flange for the break to bear on,
under the action of the current in the solenoid D, the release of break being
effected by a spring or weight. The break is pivoted at F.
The action of the lamp is as follows:- When the current is put on, it passes.
by through the wire of the solenoid H, the inside end of this wire is attached.
to the metal bobbin upon which it is wound, and is in connection with the bottom.
plate wheels and rack, the current passes down the rack through the arc and
hottom carbon holder up the rod to the inside end of the wire of the small.
solenoid D and to -, when this circuit is completed both irons G, J, of solenoids H.
and D are pulled in, G raising the frame of wheels and rack, thus forming the arc..
The iron J of the solenoid D attached by link to the lever A closes the break K
upon the flange C.
When the arc gets too long, the solenoid D becomes weaker and allows the
spring E to lessen the pressure of the break, which allows the tooth wheel L to
turn and the rack M. to descend.
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 :-
As a regulator in electric arc lamps, the combination of toothed wheel G.
escapement B, break A, and solenoid D or its equivalent, all acting in the manner
and for the purpose described and arranged substantially as shown in the annexed
drawing.

Method of Preserving Grain Fodder.
We, RUDOLF RITTER VON GUNESCH of Vienna III Obere Weissgerber-
strasse 5, Civil Engineer, and CHRISTIAN BEURLE of Hauptstrasse 114, Währing,
near Vienna, Austria, 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 method of preserving all kinds of grain used as
fodder, whilst at the same time effecting a very considerable reduction in its bulk,
and it has for object to render grain fodder capable of being kept free from decay
for a long period, and to considerably facilitate the packing and transport thereof.
The invention consists generally in first crushing the grain fodder, mixing it
with a suitable binding agent, and then pressing it into cakes under great pressure,
the cakes being then dried and if desired suitably packed.
Grain fodder, such as oats, maize and barley, to be treated according to this
invention, is first freed in a cleaning machine from dust and foreign seeds, and is
then passed between smooth rolls in such a manner that it is crushed, but not
ground. It is then placed in a suitable mixing chamber and mixed therein with a
binding agent. This binding agent consists by preference of suitable carbo-
hydrates as for examples sugar solutions, molasses or dextrine, or of maize-gluten,
or gelatine or gum arabic, the amount of the binding agent used depending upon
the desired degree of solidity of the cakes or tablets. Suitable proportions
generally speaking are 100 kilogs. of grain fodder to 1 to 10 kilogs. of the binding
agent these being mixed together in any suitable manner. The grain fodder having
been thus preliminarily treated, is subjected, in a hydraulic or other suitable press,
to great pressure, say from 500 to 600 atmospheres, whereby it is reduced to about
a third of its original volume.
The grain fodder thus brought into the form of cakes is completely dried in any
suitable manner as for example in a drying chamber in which there is sufficient
circulation of air.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The herein described method of preserving grain fodder with simultaneous
reduction of its volume, consisting in cleaning and crushing the said fodder, mixing
it with a suitable binding agent, and then pressing it under great pressure into the
form of cakes or tablets which are then dried.

An Improved Process for Preserving Eggs.
I, BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD MILLS, of 23 Southampton Buildings, in the
County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, (a communication from Alexis Micault de la Vieuville, of 269 Rue Boileau,
Lyons, in the Republic of France,) 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 an improved process for preserving eggs and for
facilitating their carriage. It differs from the processes hitherto in use in the fact
that, when once prepared, the egg, remaining in the interior in the exact condition
it was in when it was submitted to the preparation, can be eaten from the shell
after six or eight months from its preparation. This process further differs from
those hitherto in use in the fact that the egg can be kept in the open air without
injury. Again, the egg, when once prepared, can be handled, stored, and forwarded,
without special precautions, and even with greater facility, the process having the
effect of strengthening the shell, thereby permitting of simplifying the package and
facilitating importation and exportation.
The process consists of two operations; First; the fresh eggs are first washed in
a milk of lime, (or other material answering the same purpose,) which has the
double object of destroying the ferments which exist in the porosity of the shell,
and of cleaning the latter from accidental pollutions. Second; The eggs thus
cleaned and purified are coated with a thin layer of gelatine obtained by plunging
them into a solution of this material. Any of the gelatines or glues can be
employed provided they are pure and free from odour or bad taste which would
communicate itself to the egg.
The transparent gelatines are preferred in order to preserve the whiteness of the
shell.
Care must be taken that the shell be surrounded with a continuous coating of
gelatine without any break of continuity, which condition is facilitated by the
preliminary treatment in milk of lime, which frees them from grease.
Eggs thus treated can be preserved a year and longer in the exact condition they
were in when they were submitted to the preparation, without the necessity for
keeping them under special conditions of temperature or aeration.
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 process above described for preserving eggs, which consists, first, in plunging
them in milk of lime or other material fulfilling the same end, that is to say
cleaning the shell and freeing it from grease and at the same time destroying the
ferments which it contains, and second, coating the cleaned egg with gelatine for
the purpose of preserving it from contact with the air.

F. Shute fixed at G. upon which ball falls and travels to receptacle D.
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 lieu of the present style of pocket of netting, I use an appliance of metal,
wood, or suitable material, with a counterpoise or counterweight attached, so that
when the ball is struck into or falls into this receptacle it swings open, and allows
the ball to be ready for the player instantaneously, without the necessity of putting
the hand into the pocket.

A New Composition for Coating Tin and other like Vessels.
I, Jo. CAMPBELL, of 40 Plough Road, Rotherhithe, London, S.E., Soap
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to manufacture a new composition for coating or
painting the inner surface of tin or zinc vessels used for packing soft soap, and to
prevent the soap, from its chemical action on the metal, becoming discoloured.
In carrying out my invention I take a suitable quantity of unslacked lime and
make a thick paste by mixing the same with water. When cold I paint the
inside of the tin or zinc vessel, care being taken to thoroughly cover the entire
inner surface. This coating should be allowed to dry before pouring in the soap.
I may
sometimes vary this composition by mixing 4 lbs. of soft soap with 1 lb.
of the lime paste and after mixing well together, coat or paint the inside of the
vessel as before described. This composition will be found almost insoluble, it
adheres to the vessel and does not act upon the metal besides retaining its properties
for any length of time.

Improvements in Shaft Bearings.
I WILLIAM RICHARD WYNNE of 14 Argyll Road Kensington London
Electrical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of an improved and simplified form of pivetted bearing
for shafts.
It has hitherto been usual to construct pivotted bearings for shafts by forming
on the bearing a portion of a sphere and clamping this between two cup-shaped
surfaces. This form of bearing is expensive and difficult to manufacture.
I substitute for the ball and sockets joint two set screws one of them entering a
recess in the body of the bearing and the other entering a groove formed parallel
to the length of the shaft (diametrically opposite to the recess) curved to an arc of
a circle struck from the point of the first mentioned set screw.

It has hitherto been usual to construct pivotted bearings for shafts by forming
on the bearing a portion of a sphere and clamping this between two cup shaped
surfaces. This form of bearing is expensive and difficult to manufacture. I sub-
stitute for the ball & socket joint two set screws one of them entering a recess in the
body of the bearing and the other entering a groove formed parallel to the length of
the shaft (diametrically opposite to the recess) curved to an arc of a circle struck
from the point of the first mentioned set screw. The accompanying drawings
exhibit a top plan, an end view and a longitudinal section of a bearing constructed
according to my said invention. The transverse sectional form of the longitudinal
groove of the bearing delineated in these figures is semi-circular. 1 do not confine
myself to grooves of this form; and the accompanying drawings show two alternative
forms of such groove in transverse section. The form of the point of the set screw
entering the groove must correspond with that of the groove.
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
The construction of pivotted shaft bearings substantially as herein before

page_text: Date of Application, 18th Dec., 1891-Accepted, 23rd Jan., 1892
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method and Means for Fixing Wood Rollers or Bosses
on to Shafts or Arbors.
We, JABEZ BOWLING, of 53, Stirling Street, Manchester Road, Bradford,
Mechanic, and PERCY AMBLER, of 12, Sherborn Road, Horton, Bradford,
Spinner, both in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention consists in a new means or method of fastening wood rollers or
bosses on to shafts or arbors employed in gill boxes, drawing, roving, and finishing
frames; and also employed for the top pressing rollers and spinning frames and
other purposes.
In carrying out our invention we employ a pair of metal discs for each roller,
the inner faces of said discs being made with angles and projecting flanges which
fit into recesses formed in each face of the roller or boss, both of which discs are
clamped tightly against the rollers by a screw threaded nut or other suitable
means.
In order that our invention may be better understood we will now proceed to
describe the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein
Fig. 1 is sectional elevation of a pair of rollers fixed on to a shaft according to
our invention, and
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of same.
A represents a shaft or arbor provided with flanges B. The discs are shown
at C and are slipped on to the shaft until they abut against flange B, after which
the roller or boss D is placed upon the shaft, and then a second disc B put into its
place against the roller, as the drawing indicates; the discs and rollers are then
clamped together and held secure by the nut E. The discs are keyed upon the
shaft to prevent them revolving independently of the shaft. F represents leather
put around the rollers as is well understood.
By our invention rollers and bosses can be expeditiously attached to shafts, and
when the wood shrinks or dries up by the temperature of the factory, they can be
adjusted by tightening up the nut C, and when cracked or worn they can be easily
removed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
The fastening of rollers and bosses upon their shafts or arbors by means of the
apparatus and in the manner substantially as herein shown and described.
