COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Soles and Heels of Boots and Shoes.
I, OTTO RÖMER of 535 Kirchberg, Andernach-on-the-Rhine, in the Empire
of 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 devices whereby the soles and heels of boots and shoes.
may be easily removed and replaced, such devices offering the advantage over
those heretofore in use that iu case one side of the sole or heel becomes worn the
boot or shoe can be rendered serviceable again without trouble or special repair by
simply turning or changing the damaged sole or heel.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure shows the underside of a boot or shoe with my invention applied.
thereto.
Figure 2 is a section taken on the line - of Figure 1, and
Figure 3 a section taken on the line y-y of Figure 1.
Round the edge of the foundation or in-sole a of the boot or shoe is fastened a
margin or edging & of leather, wood, iudiarubber, metal, or other suitable material
corresponding in shape and size to the sole and heel intended to be applied to the
boot or shoe, and forming an internal groove or chanuel which serves to receive
and hold the movable or replaceable sole c, or heel d, each of which is furnished
at its periphery with a fillet or rebate adapted to fit into the groove or channel of
the margin or edging b. These movable or replaceable soles or heels can be
made wholly of one kind of material, and each out of a single piece, or the upper
and lower parts can bo connected together with an intermediate piece e of the
same or of a different material; but so that the fillet or rebate required to
enable the sole or heel to be inserted into and held in the margin or edging b is.
always present.
It may be remarked in conclusion that the above described devices are as
applicable, with suitable modifications, to cases where the movable or changeable
sole and heel of a boot or shoe are made in one piece, as to cases where each is.
made of a separate piece as illustrated in the drawings.
Baving now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manuer the same is to be performed, I declare that what I'
claim is :-
First. In a boot or shoe the improved devices for enabling the outer sole or heel
to be applied thereto or removed therefrom which consist of a margin or edging b.
secured to the edge of the foundation or in-sole a, and provided with an internal
groove or channel adapted to receive a corresponding fillet or rebate formed on
the removable or changeable sole or heel, substantially as described.
Second. In devices of the kind forming the subject of the first claiming clause
hereof, making the removable or changeable sole or heel of an upper and lower
piece connected together with an intermediate piece e, between them, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Horizontal Coke Ovens.
I, OLIVER IMRAY of No. 28 Southampton Buildings in the County of London
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
According to the present invention in order to obtain in horizontal coke ovens an
intense preliminary heating of the air for the combustion two flues are arranged one
beside the other for leading away the waste heat.
The partition wall erected between the two flues bas its inner part formed like a
grate, the brick grate thus formed is heated from both sides by the waste gases passing
through the flues.
The accompanying drawing shews a form of construction of such an arrangement.
Fig. 1 shews a section through the flues on line c-d Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 shews a part
section on line a-b Fig. 1.
The air entering into the cooling channels a a below the flues, passes through the
hot grating upward and is heated to a higher temperature on its way over the ceiling
vault of the flues by the upward radiation of heat from the latter. An overheating
of the masonry is thus avoided and the useful effect of the oven with respect to a
more rapid coking of the charge is considerably increased.

A Process for the Electrolytic Production of Zinc from its Ores.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co. LIMITED of 12 Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster
in the County of Middlesex, Electrical Engineers, 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 the electrolytic production and deposit of zinc from its
ores by means of a process of cycle kind according to which the zinc oxide,
resulting from any known treatment of its ores or calamine without such treatment,
is dissolved in a solution of neutral aluminium sulphate Al (S.O') 3 + 18 H2O from
which metallic zine is electrolytically separated as a deposit.
By employing the neutral aluminium sulphate as solvent there is obtained a
mixture dissolved in water of zinc sulphate and basic aluminium sulphate, which
by electrolytic action with insoluble anodes is decomposed zinc being deposited on
the cathode, and oxygen being evolved at the anode so that the neutral aluminium
sulphate is reproduced which can be used for treatment of fresh zinc oxide or
calamine. The solution of the zinc oxide or material containing it or of the
calamine is best effected by agitating it in a warm solution containing in each litre
from 100 to 150 grammes of the neutral aluminium sulphate Al (S.O) 3 + 18 H2O.
The solution of zinc sulphate and basic aluminium sulphate thus obtained, after
separation of mineral residues and metallic impurities according to known methods
is electrolytically treated with an electrical current of about 3 volts tension,
insoluble anodes being employed. The electrolyte, consisting of the solution of
neutral aluminium sulphate can be used directly for solution of fresh zinc oxide or
calamine. No diaphragm is required in this process and as there is no acid
resulting from the decomposition, the zine deposited on the cathode is not dissolved
again as occurs in processes in which acids are present. Iron or steel may be
employed as cathode in which case the zinc deposit effects galvanizing.
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 :-
The herein described process for electrolytical production of zinc from its ores
by dissolving the zinc oxide resulting from treatment of the ores or calamine in a
solution of neutral aluminium sulphate and decomposing the solution by electrolysis
thereby causing deposit of metallic zinc and reconverting the basic aluminium-
sulphate of the solution into neutral aluminium sulphate applicable for treatment
of fresh zinc oxide or calamine.

An Improved Mechanical Toy.
I, HARRY HERBERT FLETCHER, of Cross Street, North Shore, Blackpool, in the
County of Lancaster, Tile 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 an improved mechanical toy consisting of an arrange-
ment of apparatus whereby the propulsion of a ball either by hand or by the
rebound of the free end of a spring-causes the lid of a box to fly open.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the nature of my invention.
At Fig. 1a flat springa is shown (by broken lines) passing through the pivoted
right leg of a figure & fastened by its left leg to one end of a platform c. The
lower or free end of the spring a is arranged to engage with and to be held back
by a vertical projection or lip rising from a spring detent e which upon being
pressed downwardly releases the spring a which thereupon flies forward causing
the right foot of the figure to strike and propel the ball along the platform -as
shewn in broken lines at Fig. 1. The ball is attached by means of a string or
cord g to the upper end of a pivoted lever whose lower end is connected to one
end of a sliding bar or bolt i. The other end or point of the bolt i is arranged to
enter within a staple on the underside of a hinged lidj over a box k within which
is a spring device for throwing open the lid j (as shewn at Fig. 2 in broken lines)
when the bolt i is withdrawn from the staple by the pull of the string g on the
upper end of the pivoted lever . The box & may conveniently contain the
familiar spring toy device known as a "jack-in-the-box." At Fig. 2 the right leg
of the figure & is in the position which obtains when striking or kicking the ball f
11 are goal posts and m a cross bar. The spring a and figure & may be dispensed
with and the ball may be shot or propelled along the platform c by a flirt of the
the finger and thumb.
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 :-
The improved mechanical toy constructed arranged and operating substantially

An Improvement in Multiple Contact Circular Electric Switches.
We, SIEMENS BROS. & Co. LIMITED, of 12 Queen Anne's Gate, West-
minster, in the County of Middlesex, and ZACHARY HARRIS KINGDON, of
1 Mycena Road, Blackheath, in the County of Kent, Electrical Engineers, 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 the construction of the gear which works the brush of
a multiple contact circular electric switch in such a manner that the operator
working the handle, instead of having to limit the movement so as to bring the
brush of the switch to some one or other point of its circular path, effects by
each complete turn of the handle the movement of the brush over only one step
or division of its path and there locks it; he consequently must make as many
turns of the handle as there are steps over which the brush has to pass from one
contact to some other. For this purpose the bandle is connected to the switch as
shewn by the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shews a number of contact plates C circularly arranged and a segment S
to be passed over by a brush or rubber fixed on an axis A.
The handle H has at its pivot h a cylindrical boss B one side of which is hollowed
at b, and it has beyond its pivot a pin P. On the brush axis A is fixed a wheel W
which has notches N to receive the pin P, and, between the notches, parts w
hollowed out to fit the boss B. On moving the handle H round in either direction,
the pin P being engaged in one of the notches N causes the wheel W to turn one
step round, the extreme periphery of the wheel passing freely through the hollow b
of the boss B. When the wheel has thus been turned one step, although the pin P
escapes from the notch N in which it was engaged, the circular part of the boss B
fitting in the hollow w prevents the wheel from moving, until by again turning the
handle the pin P becomes engaged in a notch N.
Instead of employing the pin P and hollow 6 shewn in Fig. 1, the boss Bas
shewn in Fig. 2 may have a tooth T with a hollow b on each side of it sufficient
to allow escape of the edges of the teeth of the wheel W.
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 :-
A multiple contact circular electric switch having on its brush axis a wheel
with notches and hollows in its periphery engaged respectively by a pin or tooth
and a boss on the axis of the handle, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.

Automatic Friotion Coupling.
I, ROBERT DAHLANDER, of the Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget,
Vesterås, Swedon, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention aud
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 device for coupling together automatically two shafts
or one shaft and a loose pulley or other transmission device thereon, which coupling
together is effected by means of the centrifugal force when a certain speed is
attained. The end in view is to simplify the putting in motion of such motors
which in starting develop a rather small power and which cannot work loaded before
a certain speed is attained.
Fig. 1 shows in longitudinal and in transverse section the arrangement for
coupling two shafts. The driving shaft K is provided, with a number of radial
bolts A, on which the friction clamps B are attached, which by means of springs G
are pressed towards the nave I. These clamps are surrounded by the other part C
of the coupling located on the driven shaft E, the inner cylindric surface of which
coupling preferably is provided with a lining F of wood, leather or such like in
order to increase the friction. The tension of the springs G can be adjusted by
means of a nut H. The weight of the clamps B ought to be such that the
centrifugal force, acting against the tension of the springs, may effect a sufficient
pressure against the inner side of the lining F of the cylinder C for taking this
cylinder along even at the greatest load that may occur. It is also possible by
means of a suitable choice of dimensions to determine the greatest load the coupling
has to overcome. If the load increases, the clamps will slide, and the motor will
in this way be protected against the peril of being overloaded.
Fig. 2 shows in longitudinal and in transverse section another arrangement with
pulley D and automatic friction coupling combined. The pulley is loose on the
driving shaft K but will be taken along by the clamps B when a certain speed has
been attained. By means of a strap the power is transmitted from the pulley D to
the machine which is to be driven.
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 :-
For the automatic coupling together of two shafts or of one shaft and a loose
transmission device thereon a device consisting of a number of brake clamps (B)
attached on the driving shaft and and retained to it by means of springs, which
clamps are closely surrounded by the inner surface of the other part of the coupling
so that when a certain speed is attained the resistance of the springs will be
overcome and the clamps pressed against the said surface, and the other part of
the coupling taken along, substantially as set forth.

to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
According to this invention in or connected with paving and paving blocks, straw
of any description is cut to the proper length, saturated with gas tar or other
antiseptic material and pressed into the required form.
The material with which the straw is impregnated forms the adhesive substance
and at the same time prevents the putrefaction of the straw.
The pavement with straw briquettes is executed in the same manner as with wood
blocks.
The hardness caused by the large amount of silica contained in the material
and the elasticity of the straw give the straw pavement in both these respects a
considerable advantage over wood pavement..
The pavement formed of the aforesaid straw blocks or briquettes, in consequence
of the structure of the straw material, produces a rough surface adapted to the
prevention of the slipping of the hoofs of draught animals upon it.
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 as my improvements in or connected with paving and paving blocks is as
follows:
The briquettes or blocks composed of straw impregnated with gas tar or other
antiseptic substance preventing the putrefaction of the straw and compressed in
dimensions proper for composing the pavement, substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Fire-doors.
I, AUGUST BURKART-STALDER of 11 Turnweg Bern Switzerland Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to a fire door for all kinds of furnaces by means of
which an air feed enters through the fire door and is previously warmed thereby
lessening or preventing formation of smoke.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 is a broken elevation and Fig. 2 a section of the
improved fire door.
The new fire door forms a hollow body in which the front wall a and back part
of the casing a' forming the side walls and the back wall a² are perforated. In
consequence the air- entering through the perforated front wall a passes through
the holes of the casing a¹ and the back wall a² to enter into the fire chamber.
By the fire in the fire chamber the back wall a and the back part of the
casing a' of the door get so hot, that the air in the hollow space of the door is
previously warmed in order that when it enters the fire chamber, formation of
smoke is prevented. To augment the air circulation in the hollow space of the
door and thereby to effect a better warming of the air, in the hollow space between
front and back wall of the door are provided one or more perforated separating
walls band of which that b next to the front wall a is arranged to be movable
and is so punched that when the separating wall b is put upon the rear face of the
front wall a, the holes of the front wall are covered. In this simple manner the
separating wall can be used to close or to regulate the air entering through
the front wall of the fire door.
The diameter of the holes in the front, separating and back walls, diminish
towards the back wall they being the smallest in the latter.
To conduct downwards the hot air entering through the perforated back wall a*
into the fire chamber, it is suitable to arrange a plate e fixed on the back on the
upper edge of the back wall a² as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2.
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 :-
1. To prevent the formation of smoke, a hollow fire door in which the front
wall, the back part of the casing forming the side walls and the back wall are
perforated.
2. A fire door as in Claim 1 in which between the perforated front wall and the
perforated back wall is arranged one or more perforated separating walls, the first
of which is movable and punched in such a manner that it may cover the holes of.
the front wall..

Improvements in Bolts for Doors.
We, AUGUST HAUCK, of 36, Passauer Strasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, and HILFRIEDE KAMEKE, of 17 Weissenburger Strasse, Berlin,.
aforesaid, Gentleman, 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 is a bolt for doors which enables them to be-
bolted not only from the inside but also from the outside so that a door provided.
with this bolt cannot be opened by any unauthorized person.
The annexed drawing shows the construction of the invention.
Fig. 1. is a front view of the same with the key-hole above.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section along the line x-x in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows the key.
On the plate a which is fitted on the inside of the door underneath the keyhole h-
the blocks bare fixed and serve as guides for the bolt c. The bolt c has a
projection d which is intended to limit the motion of the slide between the blocks 66
and the upper part d' of which can be made of a dovetail shape. The upper part d'
serves to support the projections e of a piece whose upper part bears a jaw f. The
latter is shaped like the letter U the two sides f¹f being bent outwards. On a..
level with the guide blocks bb₁ the hasp or box i is attached to the door post and.
when the bolt is shot receives a portion of same.
For locking a key is used which consists of two parts g and g' connected by a
loose joint. As soon as the key is put into the keyhole h the front part g of the
same falls down into the jawf. When the key is turned to the left it presses the-
fallen part g against the part 1 of the jaw fin consequence of which the bolt c is.
pushed into the box i. When the key is turned in the opposite direction the part g
comes against the side f' and 'pushes the jaw piece f back whereby the bolt c is
released.
In order to enable the bolt to be shot from the inside a button m is fitted on..
The movable cover k of the key hole h is when raised prevented from falling
downwards by two small stud heads or buttons lover which it slides.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what.
we claim is.
A door latch characterized by a U shaped jaw-piece f the sides of which fl
and fare bent outwards at the top and which admits of the bolt being pushed in.
either direction by means of a jointed key g g'.

A New or Improved Screw, specially adapted for Stone, Brick,
Plaster, and the like.
I, HERMANN SCHWARTZENHAUER, of 82 Steglizer Strasse Berlin, in the
Empire of Germany, Art Cabinetmaker, 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 structure of most houses of brick offers certain difficulties in fastening to the
walls thereof parts of different material such as wooden ledges, iron straps and the
like. In order to overcome the said difficulty and also to secure a safe hanging for
pictures, looking glasses, etc., it has heretofore been necessary to fasten the
connecting organs such as bolts, nails, etc. by plaster of Paris with the aid of
wooden pegs.
The fastening in this manner was as inconvenient as unreliable.
The object of the present invention is a screw which is screwed into the brick
wall just in the same manner as if the wall consisted of wood.
In the accompanying drawing the stonescrew is represented.
Fig. 1. is a side view of same.
Fig. 2. a section on the line a-b of Fig. 1.
The screw bolt A is, as in the ordinary wood screw, provided with deep threads
the rips c of which are of a prismatic section. On the rips are formed (Fig. 2)
recesses d by means of which cutting edges are produced which cause the screw A
to serve as a thread cutter. The working of the improved stonescrew is as follows.
At a determined place on the wall is drilled a hole, the diameter of which is the
same as that of the screw bolt without the rips. The most suitable tool for this
purpose is a stonedrill. The screw is now introduced into the hole and as it is
turned it cuts by means of the rips c the necessary threads in the body of the
borehole. The dust which is produced collects in the recesses d. The perfectly
fastened screw can, when necessary either be loosened or screwed tighter.
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 new or improved screw substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Navel Plasters.
I, SAMUEL SIDNEY BROMHEAD of 97 Newgate Street, London Patent Agent
(communication from abroad) 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:-
With newborn children it often happens that the navel projects, by special navel
bandages the navel is pressed back until it has quite disappeared.
The said navel bandages offer in their application many inconveniences besides
being comparatively expensive.
By the present invention the navel bandage is substituted by a cheaper, more
comfortable and simpler plaster represented in the accompanying drawing in
which :-
Fig. 1 is a section and Fig. 2 a plan of the same.
Upon a closely woven circularly cut piece of fabric a, a layer b of the well
known caoutchouc or size plaster is put. It is only necessary that this layer b
will stick to the human skin and it may be furnished with any kind of medical
adjunct.
At the centre of the plaster is a hemispherical projection e glued on or otherwise
attached so that it will suit the purpose. The said projection e may be constructed
by means of a piece of cork cut to a suitable shape and covered by a layer of
fabric.
The outer surface of the layer b of plaster is to be covered by a small piece of
gauze as customary with all plasters.
When the navel plaster is to be used the protecting gauze e sticking to the
plaster a bis removed therefrom, and the latter is laid on in such a manner that the
hemispherical projection e is pressed into the navel depression of the child.
In order that the plaster may be securely held a narrow mull or muslin bandage
is wound round the body twice and secured at its two ends by a safety-pin or
otherwise.
When bathing the child the bandage and plaster should not be taken off.
Having now fully 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
An improved navel plaster consisting of a suitably cut piece of fabric a and a
ayer of caoutchouc or size plaster b, covered with a protecting layer of gauze c and
hemispherical projection e at the centre as herein described and for the purpose
pecified.
