Improvements in Stays for Fanlights and Analogous Articles.
EDWARD JOHN How and HENRY KING, of 100A, Queen Victoria Street, City,
Ironmongers, trading as James Hill & Co., 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 improvements in this said invention are for making an efficient and jointed
stay easily detachable for cleaning. Stays hitherto made for attaching to fan-
lights and lantern lights have not been made detachable, except by unscrewing or
unrivetting some part or parts.
Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 5.
Fig. 1 shows our improved stay attached to side of fanlight front view.
Fig. 2 is a sectional or side view of same.
Fig. 3 is also a side view shewing the stay lifted up or detached, so that fanlight
can be let down for cleaning or other purposes.
Fig. 4 shows fanlight (side view) open for ventilation with the stay attached.
Fig. 5 shews the stay & hook-pin full size.
From the latter drawing it will be seen that the stay is formed by providing a
slotted bar "B" pivotted to a plate "P." This bar is fixed to the frame of fan-
light, Fig. 1, & free to move at the joint to enable fanlight to be opened as Fig. 4.
A pin "P, P," is fixed on the fanlight itself to slide up and down the slot of stay
as the light is opened closed. To prevent the light falling open too far a stop is
put at end of stay "S" so that pin is arrested when the light has opened far
enough.
•
To enable the stay to be detached without unscrewing any of the parts, a small
piece is taken out of the back part of slot "0" Figs. 3 & 4 opposite the pin-to
enable the stay to be lifted up. When the stay is thus lifted up. Fig. 3 the fan-
light is free to let down for cleaning the glass or other purposes.
When the fan-
light is put back into position and the stay let down Fig. 2 the connection with
the pin is automatic.
Fixed upon the same plate as the pin is a curved hook "H" which clips loosely
over the stay. This prevents stay from getting detached from the pin by any
lateral strain.
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:-
"Improvements in jointed fanlight stays & pins so that they are easily detachable
for cleaning purposes," by the general construction, combination, and arrangement
of parts, substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn on the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Self-adjusting Guards for Circular Saws.
JOHN ANDERSON, Pottery Lane, Newcastle on Tyne, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a central plate (or holder) to each side of which are
hinged a radial shield, so that when suspended will form a half circle covering
the periphery of the saw. The front shield is again jointed so that when the
material to be sawn is pushed up against the shield, the lower front plate doubles
back thus rising the guard sufficient to allow the material to pass under and the
back section rising the same way both of which when cleared falls back into
place and covers the saw. The whole may be suspended from above or by an
elbow fixed to the back edge of the machine.

Improved Adjustable Seat for Organs and the like.
I, CHARLES FREDERICK BRINDLEY, of Suffolk Road, City of Sheffield, Organ
Builder, 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 an improved adjustable seat for
organs and the like, capable of being regulated in height with facility, and which
shall be rigid and durable.
Such seat is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1, is a front or back elevation of a seat made according to my invention,
a portion of the upper part being removed to exhibit the racks.
Fig. 2, an end elevation of same.
In carrying my invention into practice, and referring also to the drawings, I
construct a metal frame consisting of two end standards A and A2, bolted together
by one or more stayrods B, and supported at the top by a wood casing C, which is
secured to the standards by screws or the like.
The seat 1), is provided at each end with a hinged flappiece E, the hinges I,
being arranged to close inwardly, and each flappiece is provided with two racks (+,
one situated in each corner or thereabouts of the frame or casing C, and one or
more springs H, retain the flappiece in its vertical position until overcome by force.
To the inside of the frame or fixed to the inside of the standards are catches I,
engaging with the teeth of the racks G, and thus supporting the seat D, at the
height to which it may be adjusted.
The lower portion of the flappieces E, are shaped to suit the hand, and this part
is pushed inwards so as to release the racks G, from the catches I, when it is
desired to lower the seat.
This arrangement of racks and catches is simple and effective, the seat is securely
held by them, and any rocking motion is entirely prevented by the edges of the
flappieces fitting between the sides of the wood casing C.
Although I have shown the standards as curved in their configuration, they may
be made straight, and of any desired pattern.
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 adjustable seat constructed substantially as herein before described and
set forth.
2. An adjustable seat for organs, consisting of a metallic framework A and A³,
an adjustable seat D, provided with swinging racks or flappieces E, which engage
with catches I, fixed to the framework, as hereinbefore described and shown.

or the like.
I, JOSEF ZEHRA, Brewer's Engineer, of Konstanz, Baden, in the 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: -
The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing quickly table ice
or for freezing materials for the table by the use of compressed gases.
The apparatus consists of a receiver 1, in which a stationary vessel 2 is inserted
receiving upon its pivot 3 a movable vessel 4. The intermediate space 5 between
the two vessels with which the gas introduction tube 6 and the gas outlet tube 7
communicates, is closed on the top by a sieve 8 in order to avoid the spurting out
of the liquid contained in vessel 2. The vessel 4 surrounded near its top end by
a suitable collar receives the substances to be frozen, and it is movable from the
hand pulley 11 by means of the cord 10 guided round rollers 9. The vessel 2 is
to be filled with a salt water solution, which with the compressed gases introduced
into the vessel gives a very quick fall of the temperature.
The ice obtained in this apparatus is very uniform throughout which may be
imputed to the continual rotation of the inner vessel during the freezing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim
is:-
Apparatus for producing table ioe or freezing materials by means of compressed
gases wherein the vessel 4 receiving the materials to be frozen, is pivoted in the
stationary vessel 2, filled with salt solution or the like, and provided with intro-
duction and outlet tubes 6 and 7 for the passage of compressed gases, for the
purpose of hastening the freezing and producing ice of uniform quality throughout.

Improvements in Roof and other Ventilators.
I, ROBERT MACKAY, Junr., of the Firm of Cousland & Mackay, Ventilating
Engineers, 150, Hope Street, in the City of Glasgow, 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 ventilators and more especially such as are used for
automatically ventilating buildings or apartments through the roof, and it has
for its object to make provision whereby the valves which are fitted in the sides
of the ventilator to prevent downdraught may he readily removed for repair or
renewal. To that end the valve tray or frame which carries the usual mica, silk
or other flaps or valves instead of being formed in a piece with the valve box of
the ventilator, are, under the present invention, fitted so as to be capable of ready
withdrawal from the valve box, and thus in lieu of having to remove the entire
valve box for examination or renewal of the valves, the valve trays alone are
withdrawn from the box for that purpose.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is
a sectional view of a ventilator situated on the ridge of a roof, Figure 2 is a like
view of an invisible roof ventilator as fitted within the converging slopes of a roof,
Figure 3 is a view of a valve box provided with my improved valve tray, and
Figures 4, 5 and 6 are respectively an elevation, plan and end view of the removable
valve tray which is fitted in the sides of the valve box.
The ventilator A may be of any of the well known forms and applied in any
situation, as shewn at Figures 1, 2 and 3, and the valve box B may also assume
any of the usual forms, but in lieu of being made in a piece and detachable as a
whole from the ventilator, it is fitted at its sides with grooves or ledges at b
which are adapted to retain in position movable valve trays or frames C which
may be formed as shewn at Figures 4, 5, and 6, and slipped endwise through slits
in the ends or sides of the valve box and secured by means of bolts c or other
fastenings. The valve trays C are fitted with the usual mica, silk or other valves
as indicated, opening to permit of the free upward passage of air currents, but
closing on back pressure to prevent downdraught. Instead of being fitted to
slide into retaining grooves or catches in the valve box they may be seated against
ledges and fastened in any convenient way which permits of their ready removal.
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 roof or other ventilators a valve box fitted with valve trays removably secured
thereto substantially as described.

Improvements in Multiple Expansion Single Acting Fluid Pressure
Engines.
We, WILLIAM HOPE WILSON, Engineer, and ROBERT BRYSON MITCHELL, Secre-
tary of The Mirrlees Watson and Yaryan Company Limited, both of 45, Scotland
Street, Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
-
In our Specification No. 8580 of 1897 we described an arrangement of com-
pound single acting engine in which the high and low pressure cylinders are
placed side by side with a pair of slide valves each of double piston form, between
them.
Our present invention relates to a development of this arrangement so as to
adapt it for triple or quadruple expansion.
For this purpose, in the case of triple expansion we provide a pair of cylinders
with their slide valve arranged as in our previous specification above referred to,
the one of these cylinders being the high pressure cylinder and the other, which
is larger in diameter, being what may be termed the intermediate cylinder.
Besides these, another pair of equal cylinders which are low pressure cylinders
are arranged in the same row with the former pair, these having also between
them a slide valve or slide valves of piston form. The space under these two
pistons is in communication with the condenser or the atmosphere. The pistons
of these two cylinders are, like those of the former pair, connected to opposite
cranks, so that the operation is as follows:-
The exhaust from the high pressure cylinder acts on the piston of the inter-
mediate cylinder as it is described in our previous specification as acting on the
low pressure piston. The exhaust from the intermediate cylinder is led to the
slide chest of the low pressure cylinders where the ports are so arranged that this
working fluid acts on their pistons alternately the exhaust from both passing to
the space under the pistons, thence to the condenser, or to the atmosphere.
When it is desired to work by quadruple expansion, the two low pressure
cylinders are made of different diameters, the smaller being a second intermediate,
and the larger the final low pressure cylinder, and these have between them a
pair of double piston slide valves like those between the high pressure and
intermediate cylinders, so that the operation is as follows:-The high pressure
steam or working fluid acts in the first or high pressure cylinder, the exhaust
from which acts in the first intermediate cylinder: the exhaust from this acts
in the second intermediate cylinder, the exhaust from which acts in the final
low pressure cylinder.

A New or Improved Process for the Production of Liquid Detergent
or Scouring Water.
We, JAKOB MAYER, Junior, of Nieder, Ingelheim on the Rhine, Farmer, and
LUDWIG KORN, of Kupfergasse 2, Cologne on the Rhine, Cook, both in the
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:-.
The object of this invention is a process for the production of liquid detergent
or scouring water, which is distinguished from productions of the kind hitherto
introduced by being equally suitable for removing spots and stains of all kinds
from all sorts of materials. For instance, with this production, coffee stains can
be removed from cotton, linen, silk, etc., as can also oil and similar stains from
the materials mentioned and all other similar articles. A further advantage of
the liquid detergent or scouring water produced by this process is that it is very
cheap and can be profitably employed for chemical cleansing operations on a large
scale, that is to say, can be employed in manufactories.
For producing the detergent or scouring water, a mixture is made as follows:-
500 grammes of water.
10 grammes, of sulphuric ether.
10 grammes essence of soap, (Spiritus saponatus).
15 grammes of alcohol.
30 grammes of French spirit of turpentine.
10 grammes of ammonia.
The whole is carefully mixed and thoroughly stirred until a good homogeneous
liquid results, which always possesses the above mentioned valuable properties
and can be applied with invariably successful results, for removing spots and
stains of all kinds from every known textile fabric.
The removal of spots or stains is effected either by rubbing the fabric in the
liquid, that is to say, washing it, or rubbing it carefully with the liquid, employing
a woollen or other rag for the purpose.
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:-
Process for the production of liquid detergent or scouring water, the dis-
tinguishing feature of which is that 500 grammes of water, 10 grammes of
sulphuric ether, 10 grammes of essence of soap, 15 grammes of alcohol, 30 grammes
of French spirit of turpentine, and 10 grammes of ammonia are thoroughly mixed
together, for the purpose of obtaining a cheap liquid detergent, or scouring water,

opening of a parcel fitted with this device is rendered impossible, without leaving
traces of violence and as nobody will accept a damaged parcel because of his
responsibility for its contents, the culprit will be easier found out in case of a
theft having taken place, or the appliance of the safety device will rather have
a deterring effect upon the mischievous person.
The safety device consists of the part A represented in the annexed drawing
in Fig. 1 as seen from above, constituting the part to be inserted into the nether
part B, Fig. 2.
The sides 6 of the part B are doubled inwards, see the sectional view Fig. 3,
the bendings a of the part A being of a corresponding length. The edges of the
bendings a are bent at right angles c. The corners are cut and open for the
twine to be passed through them without hindrance.
The part B whose natural size will scarcely be that of a common button is placed
under the knot of the cross tied twine and the upper part A pressed down upon
it, when the sides b and a will force each other side ways because of their elasticity,
until the borders c will snap under the nether edges of the sides b and get locked
as shown in Fig. 3,
The nozzles e of the superior part will at the same time catch into the openings f
practised as far as the side-borders, Figs. 3 and 4, whereby the whole device
guided is rendered steady so that a reopening and second utilisation of the device
is excluded as a violent opening by means of a tool will necessarily become
apparent by the occurring traces. This safety-device may be given any desirable
shape, or fitted with two holes, or be manufactured of double size for double
stringing or with three holes triangular, in which shape it may replace the
common leads.
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. An arrangement for protecting string-knots, characterized by a box-like
nether part B with open corners and inwards bent elastic sides b behind which
the borders of the elastic sides a of the driven in upper part A will be locked in.
2. An arrangement for securing string-knots, in the manner as shown in
Claim 1, wherein guide-cheeks bent at right angles catch into the doubled sides b

An Improved Alloy for Dental Purposes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Alloy for Dental Purposes.
I, CARL AXEL ROBERT SAMSIOE, of 18, Birger Jarlsgatan, Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden, Dentist, 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 order to provide a firm support on the jaw for artificial teeth which are
secured by studs, and to prevent as far as possible the secretion of portions of food
and the like between the bottom of the tooth and the jaw, it has been customary to
provide the artificial teeth at the back with a plate of gold or platinum, which is
made to fit the underlying portion of the inner side of the jaw.
To produce the fit on the roots and jaw it has been necessary to give this plate
its proper form by pressing, a method by which, however, it has been difficult and
in many cases impossible to produce an accurate fit. In place of such plates tin
has been used for the same purpose, and by the use of this material it has been
possible, to effect an accurate fit on the flesh of the jaw, but the said material has
the great disadvantage that it is not durable.
The object of this invention is the production of an alloy which is equally well
adapted for the purpose as tin, while being far more durable than the latter and
therefore specially suited for bridge-work in dentistry.
The said alloy consists of about 84% tin, 15% silver, 1% gold and % platinum.
Alloys of tin, silver and gold are already in use in dentistry, more especially for
mixing in a finely divided state, as filings, with mercury so as to form an amalgam
for filling cavities of teeth. The alloy here referred to, on the other hand, is used
in the form of pieces (cubes or balls) only, i.e. without amalgamation, and is fused
over a Bunsen flame when used.
Moreover, the tin alloys employed in dentistry are comparatively hard to fuse
owing to their percentage of silver and gold being comparatively great, said per-
centage in the alloy here in question being considerably smaller than usual. The
reduction in the percentage of these metals, however, causes a decrease in the
hardness of the alloy, a disadvantage which is overcome by the addition of about%
of platinum.
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:-
An improved alloy for artificial teeth without a plate, consisting of pieces such
as cubes or balls, not filings, containing about 84% tin, 15% silver, % gold
and % platinum, and intended to be used without other addition for securing
artificial teeth in place.

New or Improved Apparatus for Fixing Umbrellas and the like to
Cycles and other Vehicles.
I, EMIL CLAUS FRIEDERICH TARDEL, of 37, Lindenstrasse, Pinneberg, Schleswig-
Holstein, Merchant, 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 apparatus for fixing an umbrella, or the like to a cycle
or other vehicle in any required position. The chief advantages of this apparatus
as compared with others of a similar kind are its lightness and convenience of
manipulation.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figure 1 is a side view of an apparatus
constructed in accordance with my invention, Figure 2 is a partial plan of same
and Figure 3 a part of same shown separately.
In a
As shown in Figure 1 an easily tightened and loosened socket or clamp 6 is
fitted on a supporting rod a secured to some suitable part of the vehicle.
tube c formed with or connected to the clamp 6 is guided a supporting rod e which
can be fixed in any required position radially or vertically by means of the clamp-
At the upper end of
ing screw d, and is preferably bent or cranked as shown.
the supporting rod e is pivotted a clamping piece or holder f (Figures 1 and 3)
which can be adjusted to any required angle by turning the worm g, gearing into
a worm sector on the piece f, by means of its thumb piece or handle.
A screw h, provided with a milled head, serves in concert with the spring clamp-
ing cheeks i, to hold the object to be carried, such as an umbrella, or the like.
If for example an umbrella is to be carried on a cycle the socket or clamp bis
fixed to the supporting rod a and the arm e in its tube c at the required height.
The umbrella is held normally in a closed condition, by means of the screw h and
cheeks i, and the clamping piece f with the umbrella fixed to it is adjusted, by
turning the screw 9, into the direction in which it can be most conveniently
carried.
When rain, sunshine or wind occurs the umbrella is opened and brought, by
turning the arm e and adjusting the clamping piece f, into the position in which
it will protect the rider and the parts are then clamped in that position.
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:-
-
An apparatus for fixing umbrellas and the like on to cycles and other vehicles,
which consists of a pivotted holder f furnished with a clamping device h i, and
adapted to be adjusted to any required vertical angle by means of gearing 9, and
radially and vertically by means of a supporting rod e adjustable in a socket or
