An Improvement in the Manufacture of Sheet Metal Cans.
We, FREDERICK WILLIAM DURHAM, Engineer, and JOHN HENRY MOYSEY,
Engineer, both of No. 183 Bow Road, in the 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 :-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of cans made of sheet metal such ac
tin plate, in such a manner that by a single operation we unite the bottom to the
sides by an interlocking joint which is tight against leakage, and which, instead of
making any projection laterally, such as is objectionable for packing, forms a
projecting rib around the bottom such as gives steadiness when the can 18
standing.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a vertical section, shewing the side A
of a can and the bottom B prepared with a lip b in the inverted position which
they occupy before they are jointed together the side being held in the
recess of a stationary bed E, the bottom resting on a stationary core C, and
over the whole a die D ready to be forced down to form the joint of the
bottom to the side, of which a magnified view is shewn by Fig. 2. It will be
seen that in the die D there is a recess which receives the upper part of the
inverted can and has formed in it a rounded groove G, which, when the die is
forced down, turns inwards first the edge a of the side which stands somewhat
higher than the lip of the bottom, then turns both inwards and downwards
forming the joint in which the edge a and the lip bare interlocked as shewn in
Fig. 2 in their condition before the joint is compressed. The joint, thus made at
a single operation, by the action of the die, is tight against leakage, and forms a
rib on which the can stands as shewn by Fig. 3 the vertical section of the complete
can, which may be of circular, elliptical, polygonal or other section.
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 :-
1. A sheet metal can having its bottom united to the lower edge of its side or
sides by an interlocking joint which forms a rib projecting down around the bottom,
substantially as described.
2: The herein described method of forming the joint above referred to, by
preparing the bottom. with a projecting lip, placing it inverted on a core enclosed
by the side of the can with its lip a little lower than the edge of the side, enclosing
the upper part of the inverted can in the recess of a die having a rounded groove,
and forcing down the die.

An Improved Electric Insulating Compound.
We, LUDVIG BÄÄRNHIELM, of 2 Styrmansgatan, Stockholm, Lieutenant-
Colonel, and AUGUST JERNANDER, of Arboga, Engineer, both in the Kingdom of
Sweden, 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 :-
Our invention relates to an improved electric insulating compound.
In stearin works where use is made of the distillation method a pitchy residuum
is obtained in the distillation of fatty acids; this residuum is the so-called stearin
pitch which has heretofore chiefly been employed as a raw material for the
manufacture of lighting gas.
Up to the present time it has not been practicable to properly utilize the
properties of stearin pitch, which consist on the one hand in being a good insulating
material and on the other hand in offering great resistance to the action of the
atmosphere and of acids, because at the customary temperature of a room the
stearin pitch becomes soft and sticky, while in the cold it becomes brittle and
cracks.
Our aforesaid invention has for its object to remove these disadvantageous
properties of stearin pitch by treating it with sulphur, the product obtained
being thereby rendered almost insensitive to changes of temperature without losing
its insulating property.
The degree of hardness of this product may be changed either by the addition
of sulphur or by mixing the stearin pitch with any desired fat oil, for instance
linseed oil. The less sulphur and the more oil we add the softer will be the .
material.
In order to obtain this result the aforesaid substances may for example be
mixed in the following proportions, that is to say, 74 per cent. of stearin pitch
and 26 per cent. of sulphur for hard material and 70 per cent. of stearin pitch,
20 per cent. of linseed oil, and 10 per cent. of sulphur for soft material.
The mode of operation consists in adding sulphur or a suitable sulphide to
stearin pitch or a mixture of stearin pitch and fat oil, while heating the same to
from 120 degrees to 175 degrees centigrade.
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 :
An insulating compound consisting chiefly of vulcanized stearin pitch.

Improvements in Dies for Forging or Pressing Screw Threads.
We, EDWARD BECKITT, of Belgrave Terrace, Hillhead, Glasgow, Engineer,
JAMES RANKIN, of 337 Gairbraid Street, Maryhill, Glasgow, Blacksmith, and
JAMES KNOX WHITE, of 15 Campbell Street, Maryhill, Glasgow, Clerk, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in the construction of dies for pressing or
forging screw threads.
In order that our invention may be properly understood we will now describe
the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, of which
Figure 1 is a front elevation, and Figure 2 is a sectional end view of a die
constructed according to our improvements.
In carrying our invention into practice we make the die in two halves A, and A³,
and these are placed together and kept in position by means of the pins B. In
this die we forge or cut a square hole C slightly larger than the diameter of the
finished screw.
The thread D is cut out in the square hole, thus leaving a
clearance E at the top, bottom, and on each side for any scale which might
accumulate while forming the screw thread on the bolt and further by pressing
the bolt on the four opposite sides whilst rotating it in the die, the screw
is made perfectly cylindrical.
The entrance or mouth of the hole is tapered, as shown at H, thus allowing the
point of the bolt on which the thread is to be formed to be entered into the die
without the necessity of raising the upper half A of the die, and so forming the
complete thread in one operation.
We also provide two sinall holes G G¹ in the upper die A for raising it if it is at
any time necessary to do so.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In a die for forging or pressing screw threads, constructing it substantially in
the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the
accompanying sheet of drawings.

An Improvement in Pince Nez (Spectacles).
I, JOSEPH RAPHAEL, of 13 Oxford Street, London, W. Optician do hereby
declare the nature of this invention (communicated to me by Jules Cottet of
Morez-du-Jura, France, Manufacturer) and in what manner the same is to he
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
At one of
My improved pince nez is shown at Figures A & B in the accompanying drawings.
On each of the extremities of the bent or curved piece Y forming the bridge of the
pince-nez frame is adapted a rock lever a, pierced with a hole in a certain part
of its length, and fitted onto a screw pin b, which acts as a pivot to it.
the extremities of the said rock levers is fixed a plaquette covered wich cork which
is used to fix the pince nez on the nose. The other extremity serves as a support to
the fingers in manoeuvring or working the rock levers. A spiral spring coiled on
the screw pin b. is fixed at one end to the rock levers a; its other or free end bearing
on the frame serves to exercise a pressure on the plaquette so as to hold the pince nez
on the nose.
By pressing the tails of the levers a. together the plaquettes (on the opposite
extremities of the levers) move apart and give the necessary, space to fix the pince
nez on the nose.
The spiral springs mentioned above serve to keep the pince nez in its place.
The two rock levers a, which are used to operate the plaquettes and to fix the
pince nez on the nose, can be made in other forms, and can be attached in other ways
than that mentioned.
The plaquettes also can be made in any other form and can be covered with any
suitable material, such as shell, horn, and the like.
The spiral springs also can be replaced by any other kind of spring and can be
fixed differently.
A ring d. is adapted to one of the eyes of the frame as in the ordinary pince nez.
In the accompanying drawings is seen a complete illustration of my pince nez;
Fig. A. showing the reverse of the pince nez with the levers a, the spring and
screw b, and the plaquettes c. at rest and ready for use, and Fig. B. showing the
pince nez reversed with the levers and plaquettes open, as in use when attached to
the nose.
My improvement consists principally in the means by which the plaquettes are
worked

page_text: 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 pince nez the fixing of plaquettes upon rock levers pivoted upon the frame
of the pince nez and controlled by springs for the purpose set forth.
2. The improved pince nez constructed as above described, and shown in the
-drawings.

An Improved Furniture Castor.
I, ADOLPH KIRMSE, of 4 Grosse Allee, Hamburg, Germany, 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 a castor for furniture, the socket of which is provided
with a horizontal plate b resting upon balls h which transfer the weight to a larger
ball g, and enable a piece of furniture provided with such castors to be moved
easily in every direction.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a vertical section of one of my castors
applied to the leg of a piece of furniture and Fig. 2 is a view of the castor as seen
from below.
The lege of the piece of furniture is let into a socket a so as to fill the whole
space above the horizontal steel-plate b. The lower part of the socket below the
plate b contains a ball g the diameter of which is such as to allow an easy rotation
of the ball within the socket. The lower end of the socket below the axis of the
ball is reduced in diameter, or is set in as at i so as to prevent the ball g from
dropping out, or from being pushed out and leaves it partly visible from the outside.
Between this ball and the plate band within the socket a are placed several
smaller balls which transfer the weight on the leg e through the plate b to the
larger ball g and facilitate the rotation of the latter.
The plate is secured in position at the lower end of the leg by means of the
screw which either passes through the plate bor is secured to or forms part
thereof and is screwed into the nut f, let into a mortise in the side of the leg e,
before the socket is put on to the end of the leg.
Castors constructed with these rollers have the great advantage over castors in
common use that they transmit the pressure in a perpendicular direction to the
rolling ball g, whereas in the castors heretofore in use the pressure is brought to
bear sideways on the roller which frequently causes the connecting-screw to break
off or the lower end of the leg to be broken.
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 furniture castor consisting of a socket a having a horizontal plate b resting
upon several small balls which transfer the weight to a larger ball g which
is retained in position in the lower end of the socket a by the narrowed or set in
part thereof substantially as described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.

A Carrier or Handle for Carrying Parcels.
ERNEST JOHNSTON PRESTON No. 64 Margaret Street, Cavendish Square., W.C.,
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 a cheap and durable handle for carrying parcels.
My improvement consists in the construction of the carrier as a whole, and from
one piece of any suitable material.
From a piece of wood or other material, is cut a strip a few inches broad, and
about four and a half inches long, as shown by proportions of Figure 1 in the
accompanying drawings. From this strip and by means of mechanical tools, such
as planes, saws and the like is cut the outlines of the handle as indicated by Figure 2.
Then the center of the piece, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 2, is cut or
stamped out. This operation completes the forming of the handle, which can then
be rounded if so desired. The completed handle or carrier is shown as Figure 3.
The proportion of the thickness of the handle is shown as Figure 4, although it
may be manufactured larger or smaller as desired. In holders and carriers now
made, rings, hooks, and the like are used to fasten the cord of the package to the
handle, and unless the cord is very tight the fastenings will slip. In mine, the
cord of the package passes through a groove at both ends as shown by "a""a"
of Figure 3. This gives such tension, that the handle cannot slip, and it will
remain in place until forcibly removed. The various parts of this handle may bear
any proportion to each other. The space "b" "b" "b" as shown in Figure 3, or
any other space upon the handle can be used for the purpose of advertising.
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
First. A carrier or handle as herein shown and described, and which can be
attached to any package bound with cord or other binding material without the aid
of rings, hooks, wire or other similar devices.
Second. A carrier or handle made in one piece from any suitable material and
so formed that a firm hold is maintained upon the cord, and it can be used for
carrying heavy as well as light parcels.

· Improvements in Cycling Boots or Shoes.
JOSEPH GERARD, 257 King's Road Chelsea London Mechanical Boot Maker
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My present invention relates to improvements in cycling boots or shoes and
consists in cutting a slot in each side of the edges of the sole so as to engage the
projection on the side plates of the pedal, thereby giving the foot a secure hold of
the pedal and thus enable the rider to alternately push and pull and so render great
aid in propelling the machine.
The said slots may be fitted with metal to prevent their wearing.

I JOSEPH GERARD of 257 King's Road Chelsea, in the County of Middlesex,
Mechanical Boot Maker 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 convert the lost power, and retarding pressure
which is necessary to retain the foot on the pedal while traversing the crank
circle, into a propelling force.
I accomplish this by giving the rider a firm and secure hold of the pedal, so as
to enable him to use his ankle in propelling his cycle all round the crank circle, in
the same way as he would use his wrist in turning a winch.
It consists of widening the welts and soles of boots or shoes at any desired part,
and slotting through the edges so as to clip the projecting lugs on the side plates
of the pedals, or any other projecting lugs or attachments.
For strengthening the edges, and also the slots I may use metal, rubber, or
other material, either by insertion between the inner and outer sole, or fixed on the
edge or top of outer sole only.
The following describes the references upon the drawing
Fig. 1 shews slots clipping lugs of the pedal.
Fig. 2 shews shoe with extended sole having slots cut through the edges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
ion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Slotting through the edges of the sole of boots or shoes at any desired part for
the purpose of clipping lugs or other attachments on the side plates of the pedals,
substantially as herein described and illustrated.

A Fume Exhaler or Apparatus for Obtaining the Fumes or Vapours
of various Medicinal Agents used for Inhalation and other
Purposes.
ROBERT JAMES LEE 39 Gunterston Road West Kensington London Doctor
of Medicine do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention is intended for the same purposes and is constructed on the same
principles as are stated and described in my Complete Specification 2720/86 but
instead of using a jet of steam to induce the current of air necessary for combustion,
I substitue a jet of air supplied from an elastic ball such as is used for "spraying
scent or other fluids, or by any simple mode of forcing air through the jet.
"
This jet of air plays in a tube in the same way as the jet of steam (as described
in Patent 2720,86) and induces a current of air therein, which passes through the
combustion chamber, and thus promotes the combustion of the substance contained
in it.
Substances may be used in their natural condition, but are preferably prepared
in the form of pastilles which are held by means of a wire, or wire gauze, free from
the sides of the chamber, to allow of the air passing around them.

claim is
The employment of a jet of air by means of which a current of air is induced
to pass through and form a chamber, along a tube in which the jet plays; so that
by the action of this induced current substances ignited in the chamber are kept in
combustion and yield fume or smoke proper for inhalation.

Cricket Stumps.
JOSEPH AKERS Crow Lane Unstone near Sheffield do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention consists of connecting the three stumps of a wicket with india-
rubber, spiral or other springs to a light metal plate provided with spikes which
can easily be trodden into the ground.
Up each stump a hole is bored, from the bottom, to receive the spring, which
passes through a corresponding hole in the plate, and is secured, at a proper
tension, by a pin through the stump and another under the plate.
When the ball hits the stumps the springs enable them to yield, in any direction,
and then regain their original position automatically, thus saving the trouble of
re-adjusting by hand, and leaving only the bails to be replaced.
