Improvements in Jointed and other Ordnance.
I FRANK BROWN Lieut. R.A. of 59 Heavitree Road Plumstead in the County
of Kent Inspector of Ordnance Machinery 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 improvements relate to breech loading guns which are jointed or made to
separate for transport so as to facilitate the dismantling and putting together of
parts. Also to the form of the chamber to increase the strength of the gun.
For guns in which the parts are tapered so as to separate easily I screw the rear
end of the A tube to receive a ring to act as a nut for tightening up the parts and
upon the periphery of this ring are formed teeth gearing into a pinion or worm
and by means a loose handle fitting into the pinion I force the parts together. I
also provide a feather on the front end of the breech piece which enters the chase
portion and prevents turning and ensures their correct relative position. I also
provide gudgeons screwed through the trunnion arms and entering a recess in the
jacket to prevent the parts from turning after the parts are put together. The
projecting portions of the gudgeons are utilised for lifting.
The trunnion ring may be passed over locking shoulders and then turned, or
screwed on a continuous or interrupted thread.
The chamber I make contracted towards the centre so as to give greater strength
and thickness on the cone over the centre of the chamber and also reduces the
strain on the B tube during firing. The first shot tries to straighten the line of
the chamber and to do this the metal on the interior would have to be compressed
and since it is already compressed by the shrinking on of the B tube it follows that
the strain on the B tube is less than it would be provided that the chamber were
parallel, because a portion of the work expended in putting tension on the B tube

Improvements in Hip Rolls for Buildings.
I, GEORGE ELVEN, of Dovecote Estate, Carlingford Road, Green Lanes,
London, N. 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 :-
This my invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in hip rolls
for buildings and my invention consists in the details hereinafter described and set
forth.
My invention devised with the object of providing a roll for the purpose of
finishing the hips of slated roofs of buildings with a view to manufacturing the same
in a more simple and inexpensive manner than that hitherto employed for the
purpose. Heretofore rolls for hips have been cut out of slate or have been fashioned
in wood having a zinc covering thereon either of which methods is extremely
expensive compared with that which I propose to adopt.
My invention consists in moulding the rolls in a plastic material such as terra-
cotta clay by which method the labour required by the manufacture will be
considerably reduced and at the same time the rolls fashioned in this manner will
harmonize better with the terra-cotta finials commonly placed on the top of the
roofs of bay windows and other portions of the roofs of buildings.
The clay when in a plastic state may be moulded in a suitable press to shape and
is preferably cut off into suitable lengths although I prefer to use short lengths
(not exceeding 3 feet) as a greater length is liable to twist and bend when removed
from the mould for drying, which latter may be done in any manner well known to
the trade.
By the use of a roll made in the manner just described a great saving is effected
in the cost of the rolls which will vary from 50% to 75% and a much neater and
better article is produced for the desired purpose. Holes may be formed in the
rolls when in the plastic state for the passage of screws or nails by which they may
be fastened to the hip rafters.
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 :-
A roll for the hips of roofs moulded or otherwise formed from a plastic clay and
afterwards dried or burnt substantially as and for the purpose described.

I, LUDWIG UECHTING, of 31 Markgrafenstrasse, Berlin W., 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:
These improvements relate to an automatic fastener consisting essentially of two
parts fixed to the neck band and to the scarf or tie.
Fig. 1. illustrates the fitting of the fastener to the neck band and to the tie
or scarf.
In Figs. 2 to 6 the fastener itself, as well as its mobility, are illustrated.
In a flat, quadrangular or otherwise formed box or frame g, which is fixed to
the tie c, Fig. 1, are arranged two pins a and b, Figs. 2, 3, 5 & 6, placed longi-
tudinally behind one another. The fastening part of the device, which takes into
the box, Figs. 3 to 6, is arranged at the free end of the neck hand h, and consists
of two adjoining spring levers fixed to the connecting piece p, for instance, and
forming together an eyelet d in the middle, Figs. 4 & 6, and a fork e at their
free ends.
This duplex fasteners being now inserted in the above mentioned part g, the
fork e will strike against the pin u, whereupon the two levers will be separated,
Fig. 5. By further pushing up the said levers ss, the pin a will be caused to
slide into the eyelet d formed by these levers, Fig. 6, and the fork e will now be
placed on the right and on the left hand side of the pin b. While a and d effect
the fastening, strikes against e, whereby the levers ss are prevented from moving
laterally, being permanently held in the centre of the box g. This hindrance from
lateral play is still further, increased, by the fact, that the fork e formed by the
levers ss bears with its front end against the side i of the box Figs. 3 & 6.
Having now particularly described and ascertained and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:
A fastener for scarves or neckties, comprising in its construction a box (g), a
pair of pins (a, b) mounted in the said box, and a pair of elastic levers or springs s, s
connected with each other, said springs forming at or near the middle of their
length an eyelet (d) and at their free ends a fork (e), the whole being arranged
and adapted to operate substantially as described.

An Improved Binder for Filing Papers.
JOSEPH EDWIN FREETH Relieving Officer 24 Barnsdale Road Harrow
Road W. 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 :-
An improved binder for filing papers is a small hollow brass peg about 1 inches
long and about 6 inch in thickness in its widest part tapered to a point at one end
and tapered to about inch at the other, there is a hole in the side of the peg.
This peg is attached to about three inches of pink tape to which is attached at the
other end a small ring or eyelet. By piercing the peg through the folios and
passing it through the ring the object is obtained.
I beg to protect in the following forms to be made round, square, oval, flat or
three cornered, to be made of all kinds of metals, ivory, bone or wood, attachments
to be tape, cord, wire, or leather, and rings or eyelets of the same material as peg.
The hole in the side of the peg is used for the purpose of attaching the tape, in
the following manner. Viz.by putting a single knot in the end of the tape,
and passing the tape through this hole, and thence out through the hole in the top
of the peg, which is smaller than the hole in the side, the knot is drawn into the
interior of the top of the peg, which is of conical shape, and holds the knot fixed,
so that the tape cannot be wholly withdrawn from the peg, by this means, the
knot being inside the peg, and the tape coming directly out of the top of the peg,
there is no objectionable projections, to wear the paper.

County of London 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 carrying out this invention it is found that the grip pad requires considerable
strength to enable it to withstand the grip pressure which the riders leg is enabled
to exert upon it and it is therefore in many cases an advantage to attach it to the
near side head or to make it a part of the tree and the near head combined, this
being its undetachable form, in some cases it may be extended very considerably to
embrace the whole of the calf of the riders leg. In its detachable form it is
represented in the drawing where A is the grip pad attached to the tree, B the
near head or pummel and C the leaping head, the pad being suitably hollowed to
receive the calf of the riders leg as heretofore described.
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 third support so placed as to receive the grip of the riders leg
immediately below and in rear of the knee, to the calf, substantially as herein

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 certain improvements in anchors, whereby they are
rendered cheaper to manufacture, easily put together, having no projecting pivot
pin ends or cotters liable to damage, more efficient and certain in action, and less
liable to roll over than hitherto. Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 is a side elevation, Fig. 3 is
a cross section with the shank E removed. According to my invention I make
recesses A, A, in front of the crosshead, these recesses being made long enough for
the pivot pin to be got in. The arms or flukes B, crosshead C and trippers b are
cast in one piece as in other anchors of this type, but the trippers D are placed at
the extreme back part of the crosshead. By the above arrangement of recesses,
the pivot pin can be got in the centre line of the crosshead, whereas in other
anchors of this type, the arms or flukes are made separate from the crosshead for
this purpose. The pivot pin cannot be damaged or displaced under any circum-
stances, it being entirely protected by means of the aforesaid recesses.
The
trippers being placed at the extreme back of the crosshead or behind the centre of
the axis, will have the effect of preventing any rolling tendency so common in
anchors of this class, and the trippers being placed as described will give a greater
preponderance of weight to the flukes, which will ensure the points coming into
their proper position for taking hold, as soon as the anchor reaches the ground, any
liability of the anchor to drag or slide will therefore be reduced to a minimum.
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 recesses A, A, in front of the crosshead, substantially as and for the
purposes herein set forth.

Improvements in Horse Shoes.
I, SAMUEL ALCOCK, R.S.S. Shoeing Smith 27 Tavistock Street Leamington
in the County of Warwick do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Its object is to enable horses or other animals to stand & travel, without
slipping, on asphalte, wood, turf or other roads.
In carrying out this invention the shoe is made flat on the surface towards
the foot; the surface towards the ground being concave with V-shaped edges
or projections.
The inner edge or projection is made to form the principal bearing surface of
the shoe by being raised above the level of the outer edge; and this inner
projection being wrought to a thin edge enables the animal to take a firm grip
of the ground.
These improved shoes may be made of iron or steel.
I also by my invention, claim the sole right of making rolled iron or steel of
the section herein described.

I, SAMUEL ALCOCK of 27 Tavistock Street, Leamington in the County of
Warwick, Shoeing Smith, 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 form of shoes for horses & other animals,

By reference to the drawing appended hereto, it will be seen that this invention
consists of making the section of the shoe in the form of a double V, the edge
formed by the inner V (marked I) being made deeper that the outer edge so as to
form the chief bearing surface of the shoe.
I may also, in some cases, break the continuity of these V shaped edges at one
or more points in the shoe as, for instance, by cutting away a portion at the toe to
give the animal a more natural action of the foot.
These improved shoes may be made of iron, steel or other suitable material.
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 shoe made after the form as herein described.
2. The double V section of metal or other material necessary for this purpose.

Improvements in Aereators for Treating Liquids.
I ROBERT ANDREW of 95 High Street Homerton 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:
My invention has reference to an improved aereator for treating liquids as for
instance cotton seed oil and similar articles so that the same can be readily and
expeditiously treated in bulk and so be thoroughly cleansed and purified.
My
improved aereator can also be employed with great advantage for treating all kinds
of spirits to rapidly mature them and remove the essential oils and other impurities
from them.
My invention consists as follows, the accompanying drawing showing a side
elevation partly in section. A body of acreator for holding the liquids to be
treated, B the perforated pipe coiled round the bottom of the vessel and connected
at to the outside pipe C, a funnel D having a sieve or strainer attached, is fitted to
the top of the pipe C, E steam ejector, F man hole to enable vessel to be cleaned
out, G is a bullseye to allow the operator to see the condition of the liquids under
treatment, H small man hole or filler, I baffle plate to prevent the liquids being
drawn up by the air through the ejector, the bottom of the vessel is made to incline
to a point to draw off all the liquids in the vessel.
The action of my improved aereator is as follows, the liquid to be treated is first
put into the body of vessel A, the steam ejector E being set in motion the air in the
said vessel A is exhausted & this causes the purified or chemically treated air to be
drawn through the pipe C and funnel D'and into the perforated pipe B and so
passes in a continuous stream through the liquids, the funnel D filled with the
strainer is used to place any suitable kind of chemicals or filtering material
according to the nature of the article to be treated, and the air is likewise either
cooled or heated to suit the requirements of the liquids under operation.
I would here note that in treating some kinds of liquids it may be found desirable
that the air should be forced through them by an injector instead of sucked through
by the ejector.
I would further note that the details of my improved aereator may be slightly
varied without departing from the general principle of my said invention.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and
what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The general construction and arrangement of aereators as above described, and
Asing the same when so constructed for treating oils, spirits or similar articles for
the purpose of purifying, cleansing and maturing each and all of the several articles,
the whole substantially as above fully set forth and described.

Figure 1 is a side elevation,
Figure 2 is a plan and
Figure 3 is side elevation of the hook.
Like letters indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawing.
A is the truck the body of which is curved to suit the shape of the barrel.
B B are sockets formed on the body of the said truck. CC are pointed tapering
projections.
Ď is a hook or clutch fastened on the said truck A by any suitable means.
EE are the wheels upon which the said truck runs. F is the handle perpendicular
to the axle of the wheels E E one end of which is passed through the said
sockets B B, and is secured so as to form a rigid joint.
G is a hook (provided with one or more catches H) free to slide upon the
handle F.
In using a truck constructed according to my invention the handle is first raised
into a vertical position the hook G being lifted. The taper projection C can now
be pushed beneath the object to be moved. In the case of barrels the said taper
projections cause them to rise and engage with the hook D, the hook G is now
allowed to fall and one of the catches H engages according to the size of the
barrel with the chamfered edge or with the object to be lifted. These catches
may be pointed so as to stick into a sack, wooden boxes or the like. The
handle F being depressed the barrel or the like can now be lifted and wheeled
about, and being held between the hook D and catch H of the hook G thus
obviating all chance of the barrel or the like slipping from off the truck A.
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 understood that
I claim.
First. In a truck for shifting barrels, or the like a hook constructed so as to
slide on a bar perpendicular to the axle of the said truck substantially as and for
the purpose specified.
Second. The improved truck constructed substantially as described with reference
to the accompanying drawing and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in the Construction of Non Conducting Coverings to
Prevent the Radiation of Heat.
I JOSEPH ALFRED FISHER of Dock House Billiter Street in the City of London
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:—
Mattresses or cushions made of asbestos cloth and filled with a non conducting
material such as cork, asbestos fibre, or fossil meal have been used to cover boilers
and other vessels to prevent the radiation of heat. The objection hitherto to the
use of such mattresses has been the difficulty of making and keeping them of a
uniform thickness on account of the tendency of the internal non conducting material
to "shift" especially when such material has been ground or is of a non-fibrous
nature. To overcome this objection I make a series of bags of cotton cloth or
other suitable substance which I fill with ground cork, or other suitable non
conducting material. These bags are so made that when filled they are, in diameter,
the size have decided upon for the thickness of the internal non conducting
material of the mattress, and these bags I place closely side by side between two
layers of asbestos cloth which when sewn at the edges forms a mattress of uniform
thickness.
I have not found in mattresses so constructed any tendency of the internal non
conducting material to " shift," but if desired it can be still more securely kept
in position by passing a few stitches of asbestos thread through the body of the
mattress.
The upper side of the mattress I paint or otherwise treat to prevent the absorption
of moisture. In some cases I use canvas instead of asbestos cloth to form the upper
side of the mattress.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is:
The construction of mattresses or cushions in the manner described for covering
boilers and other heated surfaces to prevent the radiation of heat.
