An Improved Lifting Apparatus.
We, GUSTAV ADOLF LANGENSIEPEN and EMIL SCHROETER, of the firm of
Langensiepen & Schroeter, Manufacturers,, of 60, Kirchfeldstrasse, Düsseldorf, in
the German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of our 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 apparatus for lifting carriages and other objects. It
differs from other appliances for the same purpose chiefly by the feature, that no
adjustment is required for lifting objects of different heights.
It
The apparatus is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, Figs. 1-4.
comprises chiefly a stair-shaped and slightly inclined lifting rail a, a hand lever h
provided with a rounded arm or cam ; and a stand & serving to guide the rail a
and to support the fulcrum c of the lever h. The rail a contains a recess, which
allows the necessary motion of the arm '..
The arm and recess s are arranged in such a manner, that the rail will be
lifted when the lever is being depressed, until the rail has reached its highest
position shown by Fig. 3.
The spring ffixed to the rail a in the recess serves to retain the lever in an
almost vertical position, after it has been raised, so that the apparatus occupies a
minimum of space.
For lifting a road vehicle, it is only necessary to place the apparatus close to
the said vehicle, as owing to its stepped rail, the apparatus will fit almost any
height. If now the lever is pressed down as far as it will go, the arm or lifting
cam will be situated almost perpendicularly over the fulcrum of the lever, and
the rail will thereby be automatically secured in its position.
If it is desired, to lift the object still higher, a wedge is placed underneath the
same, and the lever is lifted, so that the lifting rail descends.
The next step of the rail will now be situated under the point of application
of the object to be raised, the lever is again depressed, and in this manner, the
object can be raised from step to step.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
A lifting apparatus having an inclined stair shaped lifting rail a which is guided
vertically by a stand and adapted to be set in motion by a lever h, substantially
as described and for the purposes specified.

A New or Improved Material suitable for the Manufacture of
Portmanteaus, Boxes, and other like Articles.
I, JOHANN GEORG HÖFLE, of Offenbach on the Main, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer of Leather Goods, 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 produce a material of specially light and
resisting nature suitable for the making or covering of portmanteaus or other
receptacles having stiff walls, such as boxes, knapsacks and the like with which
little weight and resistance against pressure or blows is of importance.
The new or improved material is made of or with the fibres of the cocoanut
by glueing a thin web of this fibre upon a very thin sheet of linen. Several
sheets so made are then glued together and protected on the outer side against
effect of moisture and temperature by lacquering or covering with waterproof
substance.
The number of such sheets or layers is chosen according to the purpose for
which the material is intended; 3 to 4 layers give a very good material for a
portmanteau.
To obtain a durable connection between the layers they are subjected to heavy
pressure during manufacture. In using the sheets for trunks or portmanteaus it
may be recommended to strengthen the angles and corners by whalebone strips.
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 new or improved material for use in the manufacture of portmanteaus, boxes,
and other like articles consisting of several layers or sheets glued together under
pressure each sheet consisting of a web of cocoanut fibre glued upon a layer of thin
linen.

Improvements in Telescopic Ladders.
JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN Ladder Maker 2 Endell Street London W.C. 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:-
When more than two ladders are combined upon what is called the telescopic
principle for reaching varying heights the lock or rest fixed upon the sliding ladders
for the purpose of retaining an upper ladder in position requires a mechanism
attached to the lowest ladder so that the lock or rest can be thrown in and out of
gear by a person standing on the ground; and for that purpose I have invented the
scheme shewn in Figures 1 & 2 on accompanying drawing.
In the drawing A is the third ladder supported above the second ladder B by
the lock or rest D secured upon B and rocked in and out of gear by the lever E to
which as in Figs. 1 & 2 I attach a metallic, hemp or other rope F passed through
pulley G fixed upon ladder B down to pulley H upon ladder C, up to pulley J on
ladder C, down to pulley K upon ladder B, and thence again to lever E. As
ladder B rises above or closes into ladder C the rope travels through pulleys J & H,
and if a person takes hold of the rope at F¹ & pulls it downward the rope moves
through pulleys J & K and draws down lever E which causes lock D or rest to
engage under a rung of ladder A for its support; while if the rope at F¹ is pulled
upward it travels through pulleys H & G raising the lever E which carries the
lock or rest D clear of the rungs of ladder A which can then be lowered.
A rubber or metal spring can be attached to lever E to make the lock or rest D
fall automatically if desired.
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 arrangement of ropes and pulleys affixed to telescopic ladders so that a
person standing upon the ground can operate the lock upon an upper sliding ladder
by handling a rope working over pulleys attached to the lowest ladder as shewn in
the accompanying drawing & herein described.

We SARAH ELIZABETH RICHARDS, JOHN VAVASOR RICHARDS and JOSEPH
WILLIAM RICHARDS all of No. 5 De Lunn Buildings, Jewry Street, Winchester
in the County of Hants trading as Richards and Sons, Saddlers and Harness
Makers 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 girth for securing a rider's saddle in position upon
the back of a horse or other animal and the object is to avoid galling and generally
to make the girth more comfortable for the animal than the single band girths
hitherto employed.
We make the girth preferably of leather and as shown in the accompanying
drawings in which
Figure 1 is an end view of the girth as it depends from the saddle at both sides.
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of Figure 1 taken upon the line a b.
Figure 3 is a plan of the underside of the girth showing the manner of opening
the folds for the purpose hereinafter explained.
A is the girth made of a wide strip of suitable leather folded as shown particularly
by Figure 3 and at the point of section B in Figure 2.
This girth is provided with buckles C in the usual way for attachment at each
side of the saddle.
The leather being folded as described the edges at both sides have a rounded
surface which avoids the galling produced by a girth consisting of a single band
presenting a comparatively sharp edge. Moreover as the folded girth hereinbefore
described can be opened out as shown at Figure 3 the leather can be oiled or
dressed from inside with suitable grease to preserve the pliability of the leather
without bringing the grease in contact with the animal or the clothes of the rider.
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:
1. A girth for saddles made in the form of a folded band with the usual attach-
ment fittings substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a girth for saddles made in the form of a folded band the arrangement of
the folds to allow for partly opening the same substantially as and for the purpose
described.

for securing it to the top, and with a recess e extending diametrically across it and
in which the clip d for attaching the detonator to the rail is soldered or otherwise
secured, the surface of the clip and the base being then flush. The top e is formed
with a flange and with a central circular recess or dish y the edge of which, when
the case is closed encircles the percussion caps and holds them and the anvil / in
position and without any further fixing. In charging the detonator, the anvil
with the percussion caps is placed in position on the base and the explosive
added, the flange of the top being inserted in the flange 6 of the base, the edge
of which is then turned over to firmly secure them together.
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 :-
1. In a railway fog signal detonator forming the base with a recess in which the
clip for attaching it to the rail is secured so that the surfaces of the base and clip
lie flush on the rail substantially as described.

Improvements in Syphon Cisterns.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, of Peasholm Green, York, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My improvements consist in the mode of starting syphonic action in cisterns for
the discharge of liquid for sanitary and other purposes. As shown by the annexed
drawing I place within the body of cistern a syphon bend (marked A) having
connected therewith a shell or cylinder within which a plunger (B) is placed;
the upward movement of this plunger carrying a sufficient body of liquid over the
syphon top to set up the discharge of water, the delivery continuing until the
cistern is emptied. It is usual to raise the plunger by a rod passing through
the top of the cylinder, considerable friction being created in the gland through
which it passes. The method I adopt of passing an arm round the outside of
the cylinder, and of actuating the plunger from below overcomes this difficulty,
and adds considerably to the power of flush.
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 :
1st. I claim the use of a plunger raised by an arm passing round the outside of
the cylinder, and brought under and there connected with the plunger, in combina-
tion with the cylinder of a syphon cistern.
2nd. I claim the design of this syphon cistern as shown in the accompanying
section.
3rd. I claim the arrangement of the syphon cistern as herein described, or its
equivalent, though differing in conformity, substantially the same.

An Improved Washer Head for Wire Nails..
I, ROBERT EDWARD EVENDEN of Barkly Street St. Kilda in the Colony of
Victoria, Nail 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 relates to an improved washer head for "point de Paris" or wire
nails.
In carrying out my invention I take a sheet of metal, preferably tin of say
about No. 32 gauge, and punch or cut therefrom a disc about (for example) five-
eighths of an inch diameter, and at the same time that the disc is cut and preferably
also with the same tool, I pierce, prick, or punch, a hole through its centre just
large enough to fit the stem or shank of the wire nail I wish to insert. I then
take the disc and place it on the nail with the burr or rim that projects around the
central hole next to the head of the nail. The wire nail I use should have a
square angle or corner under its head. Now to fasten the disc or washer head upon
the wire nail, I insert the nail in a die whose top surface is shaped to the form
which the underside of the head is desired to take; such die having a slight
countersink around the top of the hole, while an upper die or striking hammer is
used to beat down upon the head of the nail and so to drive force or clench the
burr tightly around the neck under the head of the nail, the surplus metal thereat
being forced downwards into the said countersink, and being thus compelled to
form a collar or fillet at the neck. The head being now fast upon the wire nail, it
is preferably galvanised, which process then completes the manufacture. It will
be understood that the enlarged head may either be flat or cupped as the
construction of it is the same in either case, the section of the head being
determined by the shape or formation of the dies.
In the attached drawings, Figure 1 shews a plan and a section respectively of
the disc A, as formed with a burr or rim A¹ around the central hole. Figure 2
shews the wire nail B with the disc A upon it, as placed in a die C in readiness for
being struck by the upper die C'; C is the countersink at the top of the die.
Figure 3 shews the enlarged head A when of cupped section upon a wire nail,
and Figure 4 shews a head of a flat section upon a wire nail.
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 :-
An enlarged or washer head for nails, formed by placing a perforated disc of
metal on a wire nail under its head and clenching or securing it thereon between
dies the head being thereafter preferably galvanised, substantially as hereinbefore
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

said rollers.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of printing roller constructed according to my
invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of Fig. 1.
A is the outer surface of the india-rubber roller, B the liquid or air space, C is
the portion of the india rubber roller bedding upon the shaft or spindle D, E is the
opening for inflating the roller.
When the india rubber roller is placed upon the shaft or spindle it is com-
paratively loose thereon, but upon inflation the part C tightens its hold upon the
shaft D, and the working surface of the roller is left more soft and pliable.
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. Constructing printing rollers preferably of india rubber, with annular space,

Improved Buckle.
WILLIAM STUART Watch Maker & Jeweller 202 St. Georges Road Bolton
Lancashire. I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This buckle is composed of metal. It is similar to an ordinary buckle used by
tailors as a vest buckle except in place of the spikes as now used, it has a plate to
hinge containing a number of short tongues (or teeth) so that should the belt be
composed of soft material such as cotton &c. it will catch the belt in several places
thereby holding the belt more secure, also to a large extent preventing the belt
from curling and puckering as it usually does with an ordinary buckle. Also the
back bar of this buckle to which one end of the belt is made secure, has on the
length of it several short tongues (or teeth), so that the belt after being secured to
it, cannot slip crease or double up, but will remain in an outstretched position.

A Safety Lamp.
I, JAMES GIBB Engraver 344 Munton Road New Kent Road London do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to prevent the flame, whilst being blown out, from
coming into contact with the vapour or oil in the reservoir and so causing an
explosion.
I effect this by means of a plate arranged vertically in the wick-tube and having
a knob which projects through a slot in the said tube to allow of its being pressed
against the wick by means of a sliding piece like a tuning fork; a slide operates
the vertical plate and also covers the apertures through which the flame might
otherwise pass to the oil or vapour.

covers holes D and knob slot E. The flame can then be blown out without fear of
explosion. The plate is cut so as to show it pressing against wick, being soldered
to tube at dotted line F Fig. 3.
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. That explosion is prevented when blowing out light.
2. That the improvement is simple in working and not liable to get out of order.
3. That it is not expensive but can be produced at little extra cost.

holders and Mouth Pieces.
ALBERT WEBSTER ARNOLD of 12 Clifton Villas, Maida Hill, London,
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 :-
it
In the construction of pipes cigar-holders cigarette holders and mouthpieces for
cigars or cigarettes I form an air-chamber or air-chambers of a suitable kind in
the stem of the pipe-holder or mouthpiece which may be in the form of the air
chamber in Figure A and I make a hole in the stem through the air chamber to
allow of a plug tap or screw to pass through the stem and the air chamber. The
hole may be graduated as at z in Fig. C and the plug tap or screw is (as in Fig. B)
preferably perforated at a point y, so as to align the perforation at a higher point
than the usual perforation in the mouthpiece, but I can perforate it in any suitable
manner and with either one hole or more.
The objects of my improvements are to allow the nicotine or other residuum to
settle or remain in the air-chamber or air-chambers until removed and also to
prevent the smoke being vitiated by the residuum. Also in case the smoker wishes
to have a larger or smaller draught through the stem he can regulate the draught
by slightly twisting the plug tap or screw.
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
(1) In the construction of pipes, cigar holdors, cigarette holders and mouthpieces
the combination of a perforated plug tap or sorew with an air chamber or air
chambers substantially as above described.
(2) The use of a perforated plug tap or screw for all or any of the abovo articles
in the manner above described.
