Improvements in Mud Guards for Hansom Cabs.
I, ABRAHAM MONTAGUE WARTSKI, of 78 and 79, Bishopsgate Street
Without in the County of London, 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 relates to mud guards for hansom cabs and consists in the
employment of a plate sliding in guides in or upon the door as hereinafter more-
fully described.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a perspective view shewing the inner side of one of the doors of a
hansom cab; and,
Figure 2 is an elevation of a portion of a hansom cab having mud guards of
slightly modified form applied thereto.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
a indicates my improved mud guard. As shewn in Figure 1 this mud guard is
arranged to slide in guides b, b in the lower part of the door and is provided with.
a knob or handle c projecting through a slot d in the inner face of the door so that
a person entering or leaving the cab may, by grasping the knob, move the mud
guard in its guides to project it over the wheel.
Instead of arranging the mud guards to slide at both the upper and lower edges
With
in guides, they may be pivotted at the upper end, as shewn at e, Figure 2.
this arrangement the mud guards may be projected by means of knobs fixed thereto.
as described in the foregoing arrangement, or they may, as shewn in the drawing,
be operated automatically by means of links f, connected to some fixed part of
the cab and to the mud guards (for instance as described in the Specification of my
former application No. 5942 of 1894) whereby as the doors are opened the mu
guards will be projected beyond the doors and again withdrawn when the doors are
closed. In this arrangement, however, the links must be provided with universal
joints at the ends in order to permit of the circular movement of the links which
takes place in Figure 2 one door is shewn closed with the mud guard within it
and the other open with the guard projected.
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 mud guard for hansom cabs consisting of a plate arranged to slide in
guides in or upon the door so that it may be projected therefrom over the wheel,.
substantially as described.
2. A mud guard for hansom cabs consisting of a plate sliding at its upper and
lower edges in guides in or upon the door, substantially as described.
3. A mud guard for hansom cabs consisting of a plate pivotted in or upon the
door at one end and at its other end sliding in a guide or guides, substantially as

I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements connected with spools to facilitate stock keeping. A device
made of wire which can be attached to the spool. It has a loop through which
the several strands of legee or twist can be passed. This prevents them becoming
unwound or entangled and does away with the necessity of tyeing a knot and
fastening to the spool with a pin every time a length is cut. Legee is silk twist
used for making button holes, it is usually wound 12 threads sometimes
6 threads.

Improvements connected with Spools.
FREDERICK ALEXANDER PALMER 23 Ringstead Road Catford Kent
Traveller. 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 subject of my invention relates to wire attachments, which can be fitted to
spools, more particularly those used for button hole twist, which is usually wound
six or twelve threads.
Its object is to provide a better method of stock keeping, which will save time
and twist.
The present mode is to tie the ends into a knot, and fasten with a pin every
time a length is cut off, which is somewhat troublesome, but if neglected the twist
becomes entangled.
It is to obviate this that I have invented these wire spool attachments, which
will hold the various threads of twist together and prevent them becoming unwound
or entangled. It also saves the knot.
The invention consists of a wire spool attachment made with a loop through
which the several threads of twist can be passed as shown in the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1. represents the wire spool attachment which can be made any size, to
fit any size spool. It is twisted into a loop A, through which the twist can be
passed.
Fig. 2. shows the wire spool attachment secured to the spool, by inserting
the ends B and C into the hole which passes through the centre of the
spool.

page_text: 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 wire attachment which can be made in any size to fit any size spool
substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and for the
purpose specified.

An Improved Locking Device for Cycles.
I, PAUL SCHILLING, of Mehlis, Thuringia, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer of Iron and Steel Goods, 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:-
A locking-device for cycles according to this invention is represented in front
elevation and in side elevation respectively in Figs. 1 and 2, and (to a smaller scale)
in its operative and inoperative positions on a bicycle respectively, in Figs. 3 and 4, "
of the accompanying drawings. It comprises a spring band a designed to encircle
the rim of the wheel and fastened by means of a clip 6 to one of the rods or tubes c
of the frame. The band a is connected to a link or part e by means of a hinge d.
This part e comprises a lock f of any suitable construction, which serves for
securing the free end of the spring band a. The other end of the part e is con-
nected by a hinge k to the clip b which may be of any suitable construction and by
means of which the part e is attached to the tube or rod c.
The connection of the clip b to the part e by means of the hinge k enables the
part e and with it the spring band a to be turned into a position (see Fig. 4) in
which the part e lies parallel to the tube or rod c. When this is done the part e
together with the spring band a can be held up against the tube or rode by
means of a strap, cord or the like. In the example shown, however, there is
provided for this purpose a spring clip l, which is fixed to a suitable part of the
piece e and when the latter is turned up against the tube or rod c, is caused to
encircle the said tube or rod and thereby to hold the locking-device up against the
frame.
In using the locking-device, the rim m of the wheel is encircled by the spring
band a which then passes between two spokes so that the wheel cannot be rotated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. A locking device for a cycle comprising a spring band or shackle a adapted
to be placed around the rim of a wheel of the cycle and connected at one end
to a link or part e that is rotatably connected to a clip by which it can be
secured to the cycle framing and is provided with a lock for securing the other
end of the said spring band or shackle, substantially as described.
2. The combination of parts constituting the improved locking-device for cycles,
constructed, arranged and operating as hereinbefore described with reference to
and shown in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Ammonia and its Sants from Nitrogen Oxy-chlorides or Nitrogen Oxides.
Year: 1895

page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Ammonia and its Sants from
Nitrogen Oxy-chlorides or Nitrogen Oxides.
We, JULIUS RASCHEN, Ph.D., Chemist, and JOHN BROCK, Director of The
United Alkali Company Limited, both of G 11 Exchange Buildings, Liverpool,
in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
--
This invention has for its object to produce ammonia and its compounds from
nitrogen oxides or preferably from nitrosyl chloride (NOCI.).
Taking nitrosyl chloride gas it is mixed with hydrogen gas using a slight excess
of hydrogen over and above the quantity theoretically required for the conversion
of the nitrosyl chloride into ammonium chloride and water, according to the
equation:
NOCI.+ 6 H NH.CI. + H,O.
The mixture of hydrogen and nitrosyl chloride is passed through a tube or other
vessel which is filled with or contains platinised asbestos and from which all
atmospheric oxygen has been displaced by inert gases such as carbonic acid or
nitrogen. The platinised asbestos, heated to the requisite temperature, causes a
reaction between the nitrosyl chloride and the hydrogen gas; and ammonia, hydro-
chloric acid and aqueous vapour are produced. The mixture of these gases is
then passed. into a chamber or a series of chambers, kept at a temperature
sufficiently low to allow the ammonia to combine with the hydrochloric acid and
deposit as solid ammonium chloride, yet sufficiently high to prevent the condensa-
tion of the aqueous vapour, which passes on and may be afterwards condensed.
The nitrosyl chloride for the above process may be derived from any source for
instance it may be obtained by decomposing common salt with nitrous vitriol
(nitroso-sulphuric acid), and the hydrogen gas may be derived from water gas or
illuminating gas, and may be contaminated with inert gases, but must not be mixed
with oxygen gas. We prefer to obtain the hydrogen by passing steam over
incandescent coke.
In lieu of nitrosyl chloride we may employ nitrogen oxides, which when mixed
with hydrogen and passed over heated platinised asbestos form free ammonia and
water which may afterwards be condensed and utilised as ammonia solution or
converted into any of the salts of ammonia.

Improvements in Cricket Bats.
I, ABSALOM BURROWS, of No. 82 Canfield Avenue, East, Detroit, Wayne County,
Michigan, 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:-
My invention relates to the construction of a cricket bat, and consists in facing
such a bat with a piece of heavy leather, let into a gain or recess in the front face
of the bat, with its outer face flush with the outer face of the bat, the leather
extending from near the handle to the point of the bat.
I have shown my improved bat in the drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 is a cross section on line through the blade,
and, Fig. 3 is a similar section of a slightly modified form.
A is the handle which may be of any desired construction and B is the blade,
the two being secured together in any well known manner.
In the front face of the blade 1 form a gain or recess of uniform depth at all
points, conforming to the curves of the face thereof.
In this recess secure a facing C of leather, fitting snugly therein, and having
its outer face flush with the outer face of the blade.
Ι
may extend this leather facing over the edges as shown in Fig. 3, and in
some cases may be desirable to construct it in this way.
In putting on the leather facing, I first apply sizing to the recess and to the
inner face of the leather, and when it becomes dry apply the glue or cement.
With a cricket bat thus faced I find I can dispense with all wrappings of the
blade, and yet obtain a much longer life, as it will not crack, break nor splinter
under ordinary use. Indeed, have found at the end of a season's hard play,
such a bat will, ordinarily appear as good as new.
The bat with such a facing may be oiled as usual to preserve the wood.
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 improved cricket bat as herein described and shown.

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 bail or float valve so constructed that the pressure of
the incoming water tends to shut the valve so that when shut the valve is always
kept close on its seat. Our invention furthermore provides means to prevent undue
wear of the valve and valve seat.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a ball or float valve constructed in accordance with
this invention shewn in the open position, and
Fig. 2 is a part section shewing the valve closed.
The same letters of reference where they occur are used to denote the same

I, ERNST WEINGAERTNER, of Kurfürstendamm 116, Halensee, near Berlin, in
the Kingdom of Prussia, 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 the present application for Letters Patent consists of an axle.
bearing for cycles applicable to the adjustable axle of the hind wheel. For various
reasons, as for instance in the case of injury to the tyre, the driving chain or other
parts, it is very advantageous if the wheel with its axle can be removed from the
frame without trouble. The axle bearing forming the object of the present
application enables this requirement to be fulfilled by being capable of being
opened at one side.
The axle bearing is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, it consists as usual
of the flat piece a to which the tubes of the frame are attached at and ², the
fork g adjustable by means of a screw, and the opening piece k which constitutes
the novelty of the mechanism.
Figure 3 shows the opening piece supporting the wheel axle resting in the fork
from below.
The piece k is shown open turned back on the articulation of the piece a, so that
the axle can be taken out. In the other position (Figures 1, 2 and 4) in which the
cycle is ready for use the piece k is held by means of a spring catch fattached to.
the piece a, provided with a locking device so that the same when pressed back by
the piece k being pushed upwards closes behind the same. In order to open the
axle-bearing, the spring catch is drawn back, and the hinged piece k turned round'
by means of the projection h. The locking of the said hinged piece may however
be arranged in any other suitable 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 :-
The herein before described axle bearing for cycles characterised by a hinged
piece closing against the fork of the axle retained by means of a spring catch which.
admits of the wheel being easily removed from the frame.

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 medicinal appliance, especially intended for
use with infants when teething and has for its object to provide a simple device
which will effectually relieve the child. The appliance I propose to employ is in
the form of a small sachet of silk or other suitable material, containing about a
tea-spoonful of dry herbs in the form of a powder. This sachet is worn by the
infant and is placed at the pit of the stomach. The sachet is attached to the end
of a silk or other cord which serves to secure it in proper position, suspending it or
otherwise retaining it in place. A band or other well known means may also be
used for this purpose.
According to the arrangement I prefer, the cord is placed around the neck and
the sachet or bag is allowed to hang in the required position. Two or more of
these bags may be used if found desirable. The herbs I propose to employ are
riscum album and herba verbena. In preparing the mixture, leaves of both herbs
are taken; dried by hanging up for some time, and then pounded separately in a
mortar. When thoroughly powdered they are mixed together & a small tea-
spoonful placed in the sachet. The sachet should be worn continuously, being
removed only for bathing or such purposes and must not be allowed to get wet.
Any form or construction of sachet can be employed, my invention relating only to
the mixture & the means of application.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to he performed, I declare that what I
claim is

Woven Face to Face.
We JOHN CLOUGH of Grove Mills, Keighley in the County of York, Spinner
and Manufacturer. and JOHN PARK, of 16 East View Terrace, Skipton in the
said County, Designer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the weaving of mohair plushes, and other pile fabrics
face to face, and amongst the objects sought to be attained are the making of a
better cloth and a fast pile with greater simplicity in the weaving combined with
greater economy in manufacture.
Hitherto such cloths have usually been made with four shafts of ground warp,
two shafts for the top piece and two shafts for the bottom piece, four shafts for the
pile warp; one end from each of two of the pile shafts being loomed in each reed,
and the weave adopted has generally been, one pick of pile warp to the back, two
to the face and one to the back; and then the pile warp has passed from the
bottom cloth to the top cloth and the like operations have been performed with it
there, then these shafts are reversed-when the same treading takes place, but in
cloths woven face to face this method has not been found satisfactory-and in
order to attain our object, we mount a loom with four ground shafts, two shafts for
the top piece and two shafts for the bottom piece but using only two shafts for the
pile warp and one end in each reed, and we weave one pick to the back, one to the
face and one to the back, then keep the pile warp three picks between the cloths
then weave one pick to the back one to the face, one to the back of the other
cloth and again three picks between the cloths the ground being woven plain,
That is to say the pile
instead of two picks in a shed, as was the older method.
ends are worked three picks in each ground and they are floated three picks,
alternately.
In this make of cloth, we prefer in order to obtain the better effect to use a
much heavier material for the pile warp which enables us to exercise much greater
economy in its manufacture and greater simplicity in weaving.

I, WILHELM LORENZ, Kriegstrasse 57, of Karlsruhe, in the Grand Duchy of
Baden, German Empire, Engineer and Counsellor of Commerce, 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 refers to cabs of that sort, in which the main-axle of the carriage
is coupled with a motor, for instance a petroleum-motor, adapted to propel said
carriage or cab; my improvements in vehicles of said kind relate to furnishing the
tyres of the wheels with oblique or curved or undulated grooves arranged upon the
treads of said wheels; the purpose of my improvements is to prevent the wheels
from slipping when moving upon a frozen ground, or upon glaced frost, or upon a
road covered with snow.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, A' A² designate the front-wheels and
A³ As the rear- or driving-wheels of the motor-driven cab or carriage; said latter
wheels, or the treads of the tyres of the same respectively, are provided with
grooves a, which either are arranged obliquely with regard to the direction of the
axle of the said wheels, or extend in curves from one periphery of the wheel to
the other of the same, or form a continuous, undulated line, that encompasses the
tread without touching the said peripheries.
I wish it to be understood, that said oblique or curved or undulated grooves
need not indispensably be arranged upon the metallic tyre proper of the wheel,
but may as well be arranged upon any elastic cover encompassing the same.
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. In a motor-driven road-vehicle, the use of wheels the tyres of which are
furnished with grooves on their treads, for the purpose as described.
2. In a motor-driven road-vehicle, the use of wheels the tyres of which are
furnished with oblique or curved or undulated grooves on their treads, for the
purpose as described.
3. In a motor-driven road-vehicle, the use of wheels the tyres of which are

Improvements in Fastenings for Corsets and the like.
I, JOHN SIDNEY MARTIN of 23 High Street, South Norwood, London, S.E.,
General Draper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
:-
My invention relates to fastenings for corsets and is more especially applicable to
the busks made according to my invention for which Letters Patent were granted to
me under No. 3175 of 1895.
I find that the fastening of the busks made according to the before mentioned
invention is facilitated by extending the aperture in the fastening plate inwards to
a size sufficient to admit the stud on the other half of the busk, so that when the
busks are brought together for the purpose of fastening the corset the stud is firstly
inserted in the extended portion of the aperture, the pressure of the body causing
the stud to slide in the aperture towards and to engage in the spring tongue piece
referred to in my before mentioned Letters Patent, and become locked in position
as therein described. The unfastening of the busks is effected in the manner
described in my before mentioned Letters Patent.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1, is a front elevation in section of my improved lamp.
Fig. 2, is a plan of bottom of same showing my ring burner and reflectors.
Figs. 3, and 4, show plans of different forms of cluster burners preferably circular
but may be square or other shape.
A is the central reflector around which is an outer ring or square B of burners
with its corresponding reflectors C, leaving an air space D between the two
reflectors; the reflectors are perforated at E to assist and accelerate ventilation. 1
The burners are supplied by ordinary branch pipes E from a central stem G
which is encased by casing H with outer casing J for carrying and drawing off the
hot gases and so ventilating the building. Pilot lights are placed in suitable
positions, so as to light by flashing in the usual way.
The heated gases gather in the reflectors which are preferably enamelled and
prevent any accumulation of dirt or soot therein, and any overflow of such heated
gases which does not escape through the perforations comes in contact with the
Hames of the burner before passing up through the ventilating passages.
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. Sunlight gas lamps consisting of a central reflector A around which are outer
reflectors having air passages D between them, the reflectors being perforated
for assisting ventilation, substantially as set forth.
2. In a gas lamp, the combination with the stem G of a central reflector A
having an outer reflector C surrounding the said central reflector A. a ring or square
of burners B casings H and J and air passages D, arranged in the manner and for
the purposes substantially as set forth."

Watchmaker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This improved double fish hook consists of two fish hooks connected together at
their shanks by a rivet so that the one hook lies upon the other but in a reversed
direction. The shanks of the hooks are prolonged beyond the rivet and end in eyes
to one of which the line is attached, the said line passing through the other eye.
By spreading apart the said prolongations of the shanks the hooks mutually
guard each other, but the slightest pull is sufficient to cause the eyes to be drawn
together and the points of the hooks to shoot out laterally one to each side.

direction. The shanks of the hooks are prolonged beyond the rivet and end in
eyes; usually to one of these eyes the line is attached, the said line passing through
the other eye so as to enable the two eyes to be drawn together.
By spreading apart the two prolongations of the shanks the books mutually
guard each other, but the slightest pull is sufficient to cause the eyes to be drawn
together and the points of the hooks to shoot out laterally, one on each side.
Such hook is shown in the annexed drawing in Fig. 1 closed or with one hook
overlapping the other, and in Fig. 2 open or distended with the hooks projecting
in opposite directions.
A and B represent the two hooks which are coiled to form on each side an eye
for passage of the rivet C. D represents the fishing line of gimp, gut or other
material attached at d as before described.

An Improvement in Siphon Closet Pans.
I, WILLIAM BAILEY MOORE of Cauldon House, Shelton, Stoke-on-Trent, in
the County of Stafford, China and Earthenware 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 :--
This invention relates to the construction of a siphon closet pan such that if
by a sudden inrush of liquid, as when slops are poured in, there is such outflow
caused that not enough liquid is left to form the required seal, some liquid is
supplied to make up the quantity in the pan sufficient for scaling.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing is a vertical longitudinal section of a pan
according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line Z Z of
Fig. 1.
At each side of the descending duct A, 1 provide a bulge B, the interior of
which forms a cavity C communicating with A by upper and lower holes. When
there is a sudden inrush of liquid into the pan causing overflow over the weir D,
the cavities C become filled, and if, after the rush is over, the liquid in the pan is
so far discharged that there is not enough to form the required seal at E, then
liquid flows gently from the cavities Cinto the pan raising the level so as to
provide the necessary seal at E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
In combination with a siphon closet pan a chamber on each side of and com-
municating with the descending duct substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
