Improvements in the Construction of Window Frames and
their Sashes.
JOHN CRAIG, Joiner, Langbank, Renfrewshire, Scotland, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows;-
-
The object of this invention is the construction of windows in a manner which
will enable the sashes to be folded to the inside so that they can be cleaned or
repaired with safety and ease.
The improvements are effected as follows.
Each of the pulley stiles is rebated on the inside the full height to a depth of
five eights of one inch from the parting bead inwards. This forms a check or
stop for the bottom sash as the parting beads are checked back to the flush of the
face of the pulley stiles at the outside from the centre of the meeting rail down-
wards.
1
This enables the top sash when lowered to the bottom to be folded inwards. To
enable the bottom sash to fold inwards, the inside beads are cut at a point a little
above the meeting rail, the top parts are fixed securely, the bottom parts may be
hinged or secured by means of pinching screws. Four small grooved wheels whose
diameters are equal to the thickness of the parting bead are secured to the pulley
stiles, one on each parting bead in the centre of the meeting rails, and one at each
point where the inside beads are cut, those wheels serve as guide pulleys for the
sash cords.
The stiles of bottom and top sashes are rebated for the sash cords from the out-
side inwards to about two thirds of their thickness, and from the top downwards
to about two thirds of their height.
These rebates allow the sash cords to get free when the sashes are folded inwards.
The sashes are hung in the usual manner with weights, axle pulleys, and cords.

Improvements in Bits for Horses.
We, NATHANIEL BEHRENS and NORTON BEVERLEY SMITH, of the Firm of Behrens
& Smith, of Netherfield, near Nottingham, Horse Trainers, 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 an improved bit for horses in the
cheek pieces of which the curb rings and check rein loops are so disposed in rela-
tion to the mouth bar that more or less leverage may be applied by the curb on
the lower jaw of the horse when the reins are tightened. Other novel features
are also introduced and hereinafter referred to.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention Figure 1 is a side
elevation showing one of the cheek pieces and Figure 2 is a front elevation of the
improved bit showing the mouth bar attached to the cheek pieces. Each cheek
piece A is formed, as shown, of a casting or stamping to which the usual mouth
bar B is loosely attached at b. A ring or loop C is formed at rear of the mouth
bar for attachment of the reins for ordinary driving, this ring or loop being
formed with a strengthening bar C extending across it. In the upper part of
the cheek piece over the rein loop C a loop D is formed for attachment of the curb
which extends under the lower jaw from the cheek piece on one side of the horse's
head to that on the other side; and in a downward extension of each cheek piece
below the mouth bar two loops E and E¹ are formed for attachment to either of
them of the runaway or check reins for pulling up the horse. The upper loop E
is used in ordinary cases and is so placed that considerable leverage will be
obtained upon the curb with the mouth bar as a fulcrum when using the check
reins; and the lower loop E¹ is intended for use only in exceptional cases for
obtaining greatly enhanced leverage in dealing with unmanageable horses.
In the upper part of each cheek piece a bridle loop F is formed for attaching
the horse's bridle to the bit; and in proximity thereto a loop G is formed for
attachment of a leather curb or overdraw cheek which is passed over the horse's
head in dealing with horses that incline to throw downwards the head.
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 improved bit for horses constructed as hereinbefore described with reference

A Preparation for Use as Ingredient, Garnish, or Article of Food.
I, SARAH MORRISON, of "The Gables," Alleyn Park, West Dulwich, in the County
of Surrey, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved preparation for culinary purposes as an
article of food or ingredient or garnish in the preparation of various foods.
The preparation is baked in the form of loaves in a similar manner to bread,
kept until stale; they by means of a mill, disintegrator, or other suitable machine
the loaves are converted into crumbs which are afterwards baked or cooked for a
certain time in an oven of suitable temperature. The crumbs are then sifted and
packed in sizes to suit various requirements. The crumbs are used for fish, entrées
sauces, soups, game, puddings, food for infants, and invalids, and similar purposes
to which bread-crumbs are at present applied. The preparation consists of the
following ingredients:-Flour or whole meal, yeast or its equivalent, alum, salt,
sugar, potatoes, oatmeal, ground rice, corn-flour, milk, and egg. The proportions
of these ingredients are preferably as follows:-
Flour 33.60 parts; yeast 30; alum 1; salt 15; sugar 15; potatoes 15; oat-
meal 30; ground-rice 30; corn-flour, 30; with 1 egg, and pint of milk to 7 lbs. of
flour.
Directions for making the bread:-Put the flour into a sufficiently large mug
or vessel add the salt, sugar, powdered alum, ground-rice, oatmeal, cooked potatoes;
and corn-flour, and thoroughly mix.
Dissolve the yeast in water, add the milk and egg beaten up, and mix with the
flour &c., make into a stiff dough, set to rise, make into loaves, and bake in a
moderate oven for about an hour.
To prepare the crumbs :-Keep the loaves of bread for about a week until stale.
Cut off all crusts and cut inside of loaf into small pieces, then put through a mill
or other machine to reduce to fine crumbs. Bake the crumbs in a slow oven but
do not brown them, then sift according to size required. The crusts undergo
the same process except that they are baked in a hotter oven until the crumbs
become a golden brown colour.
It will be obvious that some of the ingredients might be replaced by equivalent
ingredients of the same character, or the quantities might be slightly varied, without
materially changing the character of the product.

page_text: 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:-
A preparation for use as an ingredient, garnish or article of food consisting of
the materials herein set forth or their several equivalents, baked as bread, dis-
integrated and re-baked substantially as herein described.

I, GEORGE BENNETT, of Self-Hard Works, Cornish Street, Sheffield, in the County
of Yorkshire, Steel 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 improvements in steel ingot moulds."
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a top view.
Fig. 2, is a side elevation.
Fig. 3, is a view of the mould open.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct the mould in two halves a,
and b, the bottom half b around its edges fits into a rebate f. constructed in the top
half a.
The mould when fitted together forms at its top a runner head d with a
runner channel c. The mould is fixed together by means of bolts and nuts (or
crainps and wedges) the said bolts passing through the bolt holes c.
This mould is designed for casting steel ingots into discs with a hole through the
centre which is formed by moulders composition or sand core g. The castings from
this mould require very little hammering or forging and save the trouble of punching
the hole through the centre?
The casting opposite the runner at the bottom of the mould is also filled up
with sand or moulders composition for the stream to drop on to in teeming which
prevents the liquid steel eating or cutting its way into the mould which is
cast iron.
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 moulds for casting steel ingots, the combination of the various parts, constructed

Improvements in or relating to Doors for Coke Furnaces and the like.
I, WILHELM NEINHAUS, of 2, Rosenalle, Eschweiler, in the Empire of Germany;
Manager, 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 the present invention consists in a coke-furnace door the object
of which is to produce a more rapid exhaustion, of the gas from the coke than has
been hitherto practicable, by enabling the gases at the front surface of the mass
to escape, this escape being further promoted by the draught existing in the
furnace-chamber.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a front elevation,
Figure 2 a vertical section, and
Figure 3 a rear elevation of a door according to this invention;
Figure 4 shows the bottom-surface of the door.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
The door has a hollow interior which communicates by means of a number of
small channels A with the front-surface thereof.
Above the mass of coke this interior is connected with the upper part of the
furnace-chamber by means of several channels B of larger transverse section.
By means of these channels B the chimney or gas-suction draught existing in
the upper part of the furnace chamber is extended to the hollow interior of the
door, the gases of the coke being sucked through the channels A, the hollow
interior of the door and the channels B into the upper part of the furnace chamber.
In the bottom surface of the door is situated an opening C communicating with
the hollow interior of the door; by means of the shock caused by opening the
door any dust which may have passed into the interior is caused to drop out at
this opening.
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:
1. A furnace door having a hollow interior adapted to be connected by means
of channels A with the front surface of the coke treated and by means of
channels B with the upper part of the furnace-chamber, substantially as and for
the purpose described.
2. In a door of the kind described an opening C for the purpose specified.
3. The complete furnace-door substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.

Improvements in the Method of and Means for Packing Tape in
Bundles.
We, RYLANDS & SONS LIMITED, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Warehousemen and Manufacturers, and ALBERT HENRY RIDDLE, of 55, Wood
Street, London, E.C., Haberdashery Buyer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our said invention relates to the packing of tape used for domestic purposes
and the like.
At present it is the practice to pack such tape by taking a suitable number
of knots of tape of varying qualities and widths and bundle them indis-
criminately together securing them by means of a wrapper. The ends of the
wrapper are left open so that a would-be purchaser may ascertain the number
of knots of tape contained in the bundle and as to whether the qualities and
varying widths are suitable.
This method of packing is subject to disadvantages.
The knots of tape are liable to get creased and displaced from the bundle, and
being indiscriminately bunched together, the knots of tape contained in the
bundle cannot be readily counted or inspected.
The object of our invention is to overcome these defects, which we do by
packing the knots of tape in layers and placing between each layer a division of
suitable stiff material formed with a corrugated or roughened surface.
For the purpose of our invention we find corrugated cardboard answers admir-
ably although any suitable stiff material with a corrugated or roughened surface
may be used. The corrugations or protuberances stiffen the card and thus enables
a thinner card to be used.
The knots of tape to make up the package are disposed in a suitable number
of layers, say three for example, with the corrugated card divisions, and are
bound round and secured by means of a wrapper the ends being left open as
heretofore. Before the securing wrapper is placed round the bundle we may
roll a piece of the corrugated card around the collected tapes although this is
not essential.
The corrugated or roughened card divisions between the layers of tapes
preserves them in a neat and orderly condition. The number of knots and the
qualities and widths can be readily ascertained. The corrugated or roughened
surface of the dividing card serves to grip the tapes and not only prevents the
tapes from falling out of the bundle, but also serves to guard against the creasing
of the tapes during the process of bundling.
The bundles when packed are moreover more shapely for packing or storing
in quantities.

Improvements in Wooden Spools or Bobbins Employed in Weaving.
I, JOZEF CHLEBOWSKI, of No. 27, Krolewska, Warsaw, in the Empire of Russia,
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 relates to wooden spools or bobbins employed in weaving.
Heretofore wooden spools or bobbins have had the great disadvantage of being
easily broken when dropped on the floor thereby becoming entirely useless. In
order to overcome this it has been suggested that the two ends of the wooden spools
should be surrounded by sheet metal mounts; such mounts have, however, been
found to wear through by friction in a comparatively short time, so that the pro-
jecting metal fragments very considerably impede the running of the wound spools.
Spools constructed entirely of sheet metal are likewise impractical, since they also
become readily rubbed through and consequently cut the wool.
According to the present invention, which is represented in the accompanying
drawing, all the defects above referred to, are avoided by turning off the ends of
the spools which are made of one piece of wood over a length of about twenty
millimetres and to a depth of about four millimetres and by surrounding this
turned off portion with elastic material such as leather or the like. The fixing
of the material is preferably effected by glueing and by subsequently driving in small
nails or rivets. According to the special purpose in view, this elastic material
may be smoothly cut down flush with the periphery of the spool, or may be left
slightly projecting, or be adapted to slightly recede or be hollowed out.
In the accompanying drawing:
-
Figure 1 is an end elevation and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section of a wooden spool constructed according to my
invention, a being the spool and the elastic material at the ends. In this manner
the ends of the spools are made to some extent elastic and are no longer liable to
break, when dropped on the floor, seeing that the ends will always touch the
ground first.
Consequently the durability of the spools is very considerably
increased.
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
Wooden spools or bobbins for weaving, in which the ends are turned off or cut
away and surrounded with elastic material, so that said ends are rendered elastic-
ally yielding and breakage of the spools when dropped is prevented, substantially
as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Oil Vapour Burners.
I, JOSEPH NELKEN, of No. 21, St. Mary Axe, in the City of London, Broker, 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 an oil vapour burner the construction of which I shall
describe with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 an elevation on planes at right angles to
each other of a burner according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a plan looking from
below of the parts marked A and B in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan looking from below
of the part marked C in Fig. 1.
A is an inverted dish perforated by radial slots a a and set with steady pins on
another inverted dish having through it a star shaped opening as shown in
Fig. 4.
A pipe coil B constituting a vaporising chamber; rests upon the inwardly pro-
jecting teeth of C and has its end turned vertically down and screwed into a
connecting piece P which carries an atmospheric burner tube F communicating
with P by a small passage f. The ends of P are closed by screw plugs which can
be removed for the purpose of cleaning the interior. To the underside of P is
bolted a dome H covered with asbestos fibre and a shallow tray J. Oil is supplied
to the coil B in quantity regulated by a valve 1) having at its outlet a screen of
wire gauze E.
The operation of the burner is started as follows:-
Oil flows from a suitable reservoir through the valve 1 and the pipe B down to P
whence it overflows through the small passage f and the air inlets of the burner F
over the connecting piece P and the asbestos on H into the tray J. The asbestos
on H thus becomes saturated with oil which is kindled. The burning oil heats the
coil B so that the oil flowing through it is vaporised and issues through
the passage f as vapour, drawing air into the burner tube, at the top of which the
mixture of vapour and air burns with a highly heating flame. As no fresh oil is
then supplied to the asbestos on H the flame then dies out but the vaporisation of
the oil is maintained by the burner flame which afterwards passes through the
perforations of A to heat any object placed above them. Should a combustible
mixture be injected in the coil B the flame is prevented by the wire gauze screen E
from passing to the oil supply reservoir.
I am aware that many oil vapour burners have been constructed in which the
heat of the flame serves to vaporise the oil which feeds the flame. I therefore
make no general claim to burners of this kind.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven

page_text: tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
An oil vapour burner constructed and operating substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.

page_text: Improvements in Cooking Ranges and Stoves.
JOHN HENRY WEBB, 65, Mervan Road, Brixton, London, S.W., Ironmonger,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: -
I construct certain parts of cooking ranges & stoves by means of which they
can be converted from close fire to open fire & vice versa at the same time allow
the floor & return water pipes to be carried direct from the top of ordinary back
boilers.
To carry out my invention I make a portable hood with an open front, a flexible
top divided horizontally and flexible sides divided vertically into any desired
number of parts the said parts to be hinged or joined together by flexible metal
cords, tapes or other fittings passed through the said parts near the top & bottom
and connected with the front piece. The top & sides of the hood are fitted so as
to slide backwards and forwards in grooves or guides fixed on the top of the
extended hob and on the back of the coving and passing through an opening in
the coving of the range. The extended hob is slotted from the back edge so as
to receive the flow & return pipes and is fitted with the boiler damper and the
front door of the hood.
When the hood is pushed backwards the flexible sides and top sliding in their
respective guides diverge from the front piece thereby escaping contact with the
flow & return pipes.

Improvements in or connected with Collar Studs.
Year: 1898

page_text: Improvements in or connected with Collar Studs.
'I, LEOPOLD STERN, of 113, Köpenickerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
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 has for its object a stud provided with an annular necktie holder
for use with stand-up or turn-down collars, the shank of the stud projecting over
the socket of said ring or annular holder.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure I is a front elevation of the stud on an enlarged scale when not in
use,
Figure II a side view of same when in use that is with the ring turned down.
The stud consists of a base or bottom plate a, and a shank b which is also
formed with a socket or holder e for a ring c which takes the place of the usual
knob or head of the stud and acts as a necktie holder over which the upper part d
of the shank b projects and thus forms a further hold for the necktie in the case
of stand-up collars, in which the necktie holder e engages in the loop of the band.
The ring must be turned down when so called self-fastening and similar ties
and cravats are worn, whilst in the case of bows and slips which are attached to
the stud by means of elastic loops and which are usually worn with turn-down
collars the ring must be turned upwards and thus serve as a suspender for the
elastic loop. On turning the ring c it is only moved above a horizontal plane
imagined as running through the holder or socket e, so that the shank may be made
considerably shorter than in the studs at present employed in which the band-
holder or tie-holder may be turned quite round its socket so that a large space
for play was necessary underneath the tie holder between the latter and the collar.
By the present invention this space is entirely avoided and owing to the shank
being very short, the collar or shirt neck band near the button hole is pressed
firmly against the plate a by means of the ring.
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 collar stud for stand-up or turn-down collars having a necktie holder in the
form of a ring (c) mounted in a socket (e) in the shank (b) of the stud in such
a way as to be capable of being turned only above a horizontal plane assumed to
lie through the socket (e) whereby an extremely short shank (b) may be employed
and thereby a good connection of the button holes attained, the shank (6) being
made to extend beyond the said socket (e) substantially as hereinbefore described.

An Improved Fastener for Belting.
I, JAMES BEGG, of the Hoolungoorie Tea Estate, Assam, British India, Tea
Planter, 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 fastener whereby the ends of belting
may be securely joined without being overlapped so constructed as to bend and
allow the belting to sit firmly on the pulleys when passing over them.
This object is attained by providing the fastener with one or more hinges.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of the fastener
and Figure 2 a side view of same as it appears attached to the two ends of the
belting.
The fastener consists of two or more flat pieces of metal A (a little narrower
than the width of the belting B) and has one or more hinges C. The flat plates
are drilled ready for the reception of screws or rivets or other: suitable means for
attaching them to the belting. The hinges are so arranged as to allow the belting
to bend inwards.
The number of hinges on the fastener would depend on the size of belting and
the diameter of the pulleys used. For small Belting one hinge would probably
be sufficient. As the size of the belting increases the number of hinges could be
increased to two three or even more. It is preferable to use fasteners with an
odd number of hinges so that the centre hinge may be placed opposite the join
in the belting though this is not absolutely necessary and an even number may
be used and the join placed between the two central hinges.
It is evident that by the use of this invention the belting will not only sit firmly
on the pulleys when passing over them but will admit of the belt being run
from an extra large pulley to a very small one without injury to the belt. It
also admits of a greater surface of the belt being used in splicing thereby dis-
tributing the strain or in other words it allows of a greater number of rivets or
screws being used and placed in such a manner that one screw c rivet does not
come in a line with another without sufficient space being left between them.
The fastener further by its give and take motion will effectually prevent the back
of the belt being cut or damaged.
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:-
factanar for halting having one or more hinges as described

Improvements in Apparatus for Bevelling the Edges of Glass Plates.
I, LEONARD WEST, of Ravennead, St. Helens, in the County of Lancaster, 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 relates to apparatus for bevelling the edges of glass plates, con-
structed and operating as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 is an end view to an enlarged
scale of apparatus according to my invention.
On a floor or other suitable support are fixed five frames M on which are bearings
for a screw spindle F, and beams L carrying two V headed rails K. On these rails
slide two tables T on each of which is pivotted at D an upper table S, the inclination
of which can be varied by a screw E worked by a hand wheel and worm gear.
On a
shaft A is fixed a grinding wheel G which is supplied with water and sand or other
grinding material from hoppers O. On the end of the screw F are pulleys f of two
different diameters receiving belts from pulleys a below on a shaft B which is driven
by a straight or a cross belt from the shaft A of the grinding wheel these belts being
provided with striking gear X worked by a tumbling lever I which is acted on by a
lever i noved by tappets H on a sliding rod J on which rod there are other tappets in
the path of the guides C of the tables T. On the upper tables S are placed the glass
plates to be bevilled, or a large plate may be placed on both tables which in that case
are bolted together. The tables S are adjusted to the required inclination bringing
the edges of the glass plate or plates to bear upon the grinding wheel. As it revolves
being driven by any suitable motor; the screw F also revolves, and it being engaged
to the table T by a half nut in the usual way as in a planing machine causes the
tables and glass to travel parallel to the axis of the grinding wheel so that the edges
of the glass are bevilled. When the tables have travelled a certain distance the
tappets H acting on the lever i moves the striking gear so as to shift the straight
and crossbelts and thus reverse the direction of rotation of the screw F and the
travel of the tables. The half nuts can be thrown into or out of engagement with
the screw F by hand levers N.
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 :-
Apparatus for bevelling the edges of glass plates, constructed and operating sub-
stantially as described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Electric Alarums.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co. LIMITED, of 12, Queen Anne's Gate, West-
minster, S.W., Electrical Engineers, and JULIUS EBEL, of 51, Charlton Lane,
Old Charlton, Kent, Electrician, 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 electric alarums so arranged that a striker makes
double strokes on a gong of considerable size in approximately uniform succession
for a certain time, as will be described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of an alarum according to this invention, and
Fig. 2 is a transverse section. Fig. 3 is a front view and Fig. 4 is a side view
of the clockwork for operating the alarum.
1 is a solenoid coil wound on a non-magnetic tube 2 within which an iron
tubular core 3 is free to slide; it has in its periphery longitudinal grooves 4
to receive antifriction balls. Within the core 3 is a helical extension spring 5
having its one end fixed to one end of the core and its other end passing through
a hole in the other end of the core, and fixed to a bracket 6 on a non-conducting
base B, on which is also fixed the solenoid 1 and the gong G which forms a cover.
When the solenoid is excited by an electric current, the core 3 is drawn in and its
one end strikes the gong at g; when the current is interrupted the spring 5
causes the core 3 to fly back and strike the opposite side of the gong.
The clockwork shewn in Figs. 3 and 4 consists of a spring 6 which can be
wound up by a key 7, and which by gearing drives a star wheel 8, and an escape-
ment wheel 10.
The star wheel 8, as it revolves, alternately makes and breaks contact with a
blade spring 9 which is fixed on a block of insulating material. The coil of the
solenoid 1 being included in a circuit from one terminal of a battery or other
source of electricity to the spring 9, the other terminal being connected to the
metal of the clockwork, on winding up the spring and releasing the key the
star wheel 8 is caused to revolve at a rate rendered approximately uniform by
the action of the escapement 10, and in cach revolution it effects transmission
of four currents to the solenoid, causing eight strokes on the gong. Obviously
the clockwork could operate contacts for a number of gongs or a number of gongs
might be connected in series with one contact.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
An electric alarum constructed and operating substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.
