Improvements in Transformers or Converters for Electric Currents.
A communication by CHARLES LEWIS COFFIN, of 980, Jefferson Avenue,
Detroit, in the County of Wayne and State of Michigan, United States of
America, Chemist.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S. M.I.M.E. of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the County
of Middlesex 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 :-
This invention consists in an improvement in transformers or converters for
electric currents hereinafter fully described and claimed.
Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of the secondary of a transformer;
Figure 3 is an elevation of the transformer showing the core and a portion of the
primary; and
Figure 4 is an elevation at right angles to Figure 3.
Electrical machines for the purpose of converting a current of high voltage and
low amperage into a current of low voltage and high amperage, or vice versa, are
well known to the art, and are called transformers or converters. A detailed
description of the construction and operation of such machines is therefore deemed
unnecessary, as their general construction and operation will be readily understood
by any electrician from the name.
In all the figures, S represents the secondary coil of a transformer, of which C is
the core and l' the primary coil.
In using transformers to carry heavy currents, especially for electric welding,
great difficulty is experienced in the heating of the secondary coil.
This heating is obviated and the secondary is kept cool in use by making it
perforated. As shown in Figure 1, the secondary consists of a metal blank,
preferably copper, perforated with holes. The secondary may either be a single
large piece of metal, or may be made of a number of pieces of thin perforated
metal placed together as shown in Figure 4. Instead of using perforated metal,
the secondary may be made of a number of blanks of woven metal cloth as
indicated in Figure 2. The core may be of any known construction, and only a
portion of the primary coil is indicated in the drawings, as this feature is well
known.
The effect of this ventilated secondary is not only to keep the secondary cool,
but to keep down the temperature throughout the whole transformer, but it
necessitates some increase in bulk in order to get the necessary cross-section in
material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
In a transformer or converter, a secondary formed of perforated metal.

I, EDOUARD BOLENS, of 9 Rue Albouy, Paris, in the Republic of France,
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 principally to foot-stools and has for its object to prevent
the stool being easily upset, and when upset easily replaced in proper position by a
simple push of the foot or otherwise. The invention consists in placing in a
suitable position in the base of the supports of the stool a heavy body such as metal
of convenient form, so as to lower the centre of gravity and act as a counterpoise,
and in rounding off the edges of the supports.
The accompanying drawing will serve to illustrate convenient manners of
performing the invention, Fig. 1 being a front view and Fig. 2 a sectional side
view of one design, and Figs. 3 and 4 sectional side views of other forms, corre-
sponding letters indicate like parts, but these forms can be considerably varied
without departing from the nature of my invention.

Improvements in Paper-weights.
I DANIEL HARPER of 21, 22, & 23 Church Street, Islington, London,
Goldblocker 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 to provide a paper-weight in glass, or other
transparent material, with which may be combined a calendar, advertisement, a
view of some place, a memorandum tablet, or other information or design.
In carrying out my invention, I produce a hollow block of transparent material,
and in the bottom of the hollow I form additional recesses, on one or more sides
of the hollow, to receive the name, address, and occupation of a tradesman, which
may be permanently secured therein, leaving a clear space between, or in the
centre, for the calendar, advertisement, or other information or design to show
through.
The advertisement or other information, which may be removable, will be held
in place by a metal or other back, to which is pivotted a cross bar, in such a
manner, that when the cross bar is partially rotated, it will catch into recesses cut
in the side walls of the hollow to receive it.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown, in perspective view, at,
Fig. 1, one form of the paper-weight;
Fig. 2 being a cross section; and
Fig. 3 a plan view, of another form of weight.
A is a block of glass or other transparent material, which is hollow at back.
B are additional recesses formed to receive the name, address, and occupation of
the tradesman issuing the paper weight, and which are preferably permanently
secured therein. The advertisement or calendar C may be held in position by the
plate D, which is secured by the pivotted cross bar E taking into the recesses a in
the side walls of the hollow space, at the back of the weight, or in any other
convenient manner which will admit of ready removal, to change the nature of the
information given.
Although I have shown only two forms, it will be obvious that the external
shape of the paper-weight may be considerably varied, without departing from the
nature of my invention.
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 paper-weight consisting of a hollow transparent block having recesses for
a name and address, and a clear space for a calendar or advertisement &c., and
a metal or other back, which is secured by a pivotted cross bar or other convenient
means, as set forth.
2. A paper weight constructed and arranged substantially as herein shown and
described.
3. A paper-weight consisting of a hollow transparent block, and a back plate
which is secured by a pivotted cross bar or other convenient means.

An Improved Fixing Device for Toilet Glasses.
I HAROLD ARTHUR BURKE of 7 Victoria Road, Kensington, in the County
of Middlesex, Artist, 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 invention is to provide easy means whereby toilet
glasses may be held at the inclination at which they may be set.
To this end, the means I propose to adopt consist of a pendent rod having a
telescopic connection with the swinging frame of the glass, so as to be capable of
propping up the glass at the required angle, by resting its lower end on the base or
stand.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shewn a toilet glass of the ordinary kind,
fitted with my invention.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and
Fig. 2 a fragmentary back view.
A is the glass frame, swung in a pair of pillars a carried by a base B.
The tendency of the ordinary toilet glass is to hang in a vertical position, and
some means are usually provided for fixing it at an incline.
According to my invention, I prop the glass at the desired angle by means of
the rod c, which slides freely in a sleeve or socket C attached to the back of the
frame A, and rests on the base B. This rod or prop e is so arranged as to retreat
or shorten its length as the glass is moved towards a vertical or natural position.
This is exemplified in Fig. 1, where two positions are indicated by means of
full and dotted lines. A movement in the opposite direction extends the rod or
prop.
It will be understood that although the rod c has free longitudinal movement
within its sleeve C, it must not be so free as to allow the rod to retire under the
weight only of the swinging glass, for the intention is to prop the glass by means
of the rod c, against its natural tendency to assume a vertical position, and hold it
at the desired inclination, at which it is set by hand.
The form, and material of which the socket and rod are made, may vary to suit
the requirements of taste and trade, and the rod is preferably furnished with a
button or knob of soft material at its lower end, to prevent injury to the base of
the glass.
My invention may be easily fitted to existing glasses.
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 device for holding a toilet glass at a convenient inclination substantially as
described, such device consisting of a rod sliding in a sleeve socket, or the
equivalent thereof, to be attached to the swinging frame of the glass, in the manner
set forth.

A Hair-dressing Cap.
I, HERMANN HEINRICH HEIDEMANN, Hairdresser, of Poststrasse, Meerane in
Saxony, 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 has for its object, to provide a cap of indiarubber or other suitable
material by means of which thick, shaggy or irregularly grown hair, after it has
been laid or dressed in the desired manner, may be caused to retain the desired
position.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a side view and
Fig. 2 a plan of an indiarubber cap embodying my invention.
The new contrivance consists of a cap made of thin indiarubber and provided
with numerous perforations, said cap being made of such a size and shape, that it
can be laid over the hair which has been dressed in the desired fashion.
The hair to be dressed is moistened with a suitable liquid, combed or brushed
into the desired position, and then the perforated cap pulled tightly over the hair
thus dressed.
As soon as the moist hair has become dry, which usually requires from half an
hour to an hour, the cap is removed, and the hair retains the position into which it
has been brought in a moist condition.
Owing to the elasticity of the material of which the cap is made, the latter may
be used for heads of various widths.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is;-
An indiarubber cap provided with numerous perforations, and adapted to be.
applied to human heads, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

COMIL TIPLE OF MULTICATION.
An Improvement in Hydraulic Capstans.
We, WILLIAM CARTER, Engineer of 32 King Street, Chester, and THE
HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING CO. LD., Engineers, of Charles Street, Chester, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to he
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
Our invention relates to a capstan of the kind which is worked directly by a
hydraulic engine, such as that having thicc cylinders known as a Brotherhood
engine fixed under the base of the capstan According to our invention, we mount
the capstan, engine and base plate on tunnions and provide means of turning them
more or less round so as to get access to the engine for inspection, cleansing,
lubrication or repan.
Figs 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings are elevations partly in section on
planes at right angles to one another, and Fig. 3 is a plan
C 18 the capstan mounted on the base plate B carrying on its underside the
engine E. Under the engine we form a well W deep enough to admit the capstan
when inverted as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, and in the fixed frame F
surmounting the well we provide bearings F1 F for two tubulai tincions A' A'
projecting from the body of the engine on opposite sides, these tunnions being
connected by suitable unions, allowing rotation, to the hydraulic supply pipe J and
discharge pipe Kicspectively On one of the trunnions is fixed the segment D of
a worm wheel, gearing with a worm E mounted in a long bearing E¹ fixed on the
fiame F
The base plate B is usually held in its horizontal position by a spring catch H
which can be disengaged by a bent lever I introduced through a hole in the base B.
When the catch is so disengaged, then by turning a T handle G the end of which
is inserted in a square or polygonal hole of the worm E, the worm is turned,
turning the segment D and the capstan, engine and base to a position such as that
indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, the engine being thus presented upwards
accessible for treatment such as may be required. We prefer to floor over with
removeable plates L M N the space in which the worm gear and supply pipe and
valve are situated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
Mounting a hydraulic capstan with its base plate and engine on trunnions
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Furniture Casters.
A communication by ARTHUR CLEMENS DEDO SEIFERT, of 71, Zschopauerstrasse,
Chemnitz, in the Empire of Germany, Cabinet Maker.
1, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex 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 :-
This invention has for its object an improved furniture caster which may be
changed easily and without the use of tools. The object of the invention is shown
on the accompanying drawings,
Figures 1 and 3 being longitudinal sections and
Figure 2 a side elevation.
The caster is constructed as follows,-
A hole is bored in the foot of the piece of furniture a into which hole is driven a
sheath b of conical form and provided with a flange. The caster c is mounted in
the usual manner in a caster holder d the shank e of which is also shaped somewhat
conically and has a groove near its end in which a ring fis inserted and made easily
revoluble in the same, and the outer diameter of which is somewhat greater than.
that of the pin or shank e.
If the roller or caster be pressed into the sheath 6, the ring presses against the
wall of the sheath b, thus preventing the caster from dropping out of the sheath
although the caster can freely revolve in the sheath.
This improved furniture caster has the great advantage, that it can be easily
removed, or reinserted by hand and the splitting of the foot of the piece of furniture
after long use is avoided. The sheath b may also have in its interior an annular
groove x, Figure 3, into which the ring f snaps.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improvements in furniture casters consisting in a conical sheath (b) with or
without an annular groove (x) fixed in the foot or base (a) of the article of
furniture, a conical shank (e) connected with the caster holder (b) and having a
groove provided with a movable ring of larger diameter than the shank, thus
allowing the caster while being free to revolve, to be taken off or put on again at
any time without the use of tools and preventing the splitting of the foot or base of
the piece of furniture to which it is attached, all substantially as herein before
described and shown.
