Improvements in Door-springs.
I GOTTFRIED MEYER of Horgen near Zurich, in Switzerland, 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 spring mechanism for closing doors.
In the accompanying drawings in both the figures of which the same part is
indicated by like letters of reference,
Figure 1 is a plan partly in section of the said spring mechanism for closing
doors.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the same.
A hollow drum D shut in by a cover C is fitted to rotate upon an arbor B attached
to a plate A. Within the hollow drum Da spring coil E is arranged so as to be wound
by pulling at one extremity of a band F having its outer extremity secured to the
bollow drum D and being coiled thereon upon the outer side in a direction opposite
to the coiling of the enclosed spring E.
By way of protection and for the sake of appearance there is provided a casing H
to cover the hollow drum D and the band F, an opening being made in this casing
to allow the end of the band with its loop G to run through. The casing H is secured
in position by the nut I upon the arbor B.
The apparatus is secured at the top of the door frame and the end of the band F
fitted with the loop G is suitably connected with the door at the greatest convenient
distance from the axis of the binges. If then the door be opened the band F will
draw away from the hollow drum D at the same time tightening the spring
coil E.
The moment the door is let go the tightened spring coil E will rewind the band F
thereby pulling the door to. As the point of purchase of the band F being at a
considerable distance from the axis of the hinges a comparatively weak spring coil is
sufficient even in the case of massive doors.
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 :-
Door spring mechanism consisting of a hollow drum rotating upon a fixed arbor
secured at the upper part of a door frame around which winds a band attached at one
end to the hollow drum and at the other end to the upper part of the door, unwinding
when the door opens and thereby winding a spring coil within the hollow drum,
and made to rewind, when the door is let go, by reason of the spring coil recoiling
whereby the door is made to close substantially as described.

of porcelain, china, earthenware, stoneware, glass or similar material, possessing
the properties of high insulation and durability.
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. The manufacture of a suspender for supporting electric light and other cables
from a carrying wire, substantially of the form shown in the accompanying drawing,
and of porcelain, china, earthenware, stoneware, glass or similar material possessing
the properties of high insulation and durability.
2. The cutting or otherwise making of an opening or slot in the suspender for the

Improvements in Window-fasteners.
I, DAVID THORPE LEE, of Hogarth House, St Luke's Road, Maidenhead, in the
County of Berkshire, Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
The object of this invention is to construct a window fastener consisting of the
usual latch and holder, so that it is impossible to slide back the latch by pressure of a
knife or the like inserted between the meeting rails of the sashes.
The invention consists in constructing the spring so that when the latch is closed
the spring projects across the line of meeting of the rails in front of said latch and in
constructing the latch so that when it is open or unclosed it holds the said spring back
from over the line of meeting of the rails so that it is no impediment to the opening
and closing of the sashes.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a plan of the latch unclosed.
Fig. 2 an olevation thereof.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the latch closed. The holder for the latch the counterpart of the
window fastener being of the ordinary construction is not shown.
A is the spring, B the latch, D the plate, C the pivotal screw of the latch. The
spring is attached at E and is bent over and continued forward at F around the end
of the latch. The latch B has a shoulder at B' which when the latch is open as in
Fig. 1, holds the spring A back so that its point F does not project beyond the edge
of the window sash rail.
When the Intel is closed, the spring presses against the end B' thereof and projects
at F beyond the edge of the sash rail as in Fig. 3.
A part of the end of the spring is bent round at F" underneath the latch to lie
under the edge of the latter when the latch is closed to prevent any sharp instrument
from being inserted between the spring and the latch.
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 :-
In a window fastener the combination with the latch B having the lateral pro-
jection B' of the spring A. continued to the point F to project across the space between
the meeting rails of the sashes when the latch is closed substantially as set forth.

A communication from abroad by ANNA THOMAS, of the City, County, and State of
New York, United States of America.
I, WILLIAM LLoyd Wise, of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the County of London,
Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, 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 in dresses a basque front and under-
waist, so as to render the use of corsets unnecessary, and more particularly to admit
of the free movement of the arms or shoulders, and more perfect distribution of the
weight or pressure of the drapery ;-as for instance, when the arm is lowered from
an upright position to the normal position at the side the slack of the drapery under
the arms is taken up by means of springs or elastic cords placed in proper position,
as will be more fully described hereinafter, reference being had to the annexed drawings
in which
Figure 1 represents action of the elastics in movement of the arms;
Figure 2 is a modification shewing the basque front laced to the under-waist;
Figure 3 shews a detail view of one of the hooks to secure the elastic cords;
Figure 4 an enlarged view of the elastic lacing cord ;
Figure 5 is a modification shewing two elastic cords looped ;
Figure 6 represents points at which front of the basque joins the under-waist.
A (Fig. 1) represents the front of the under-waist; B the basque front provided
with elastic straps C so that when the arms are raised, the elastics will admit of such
movement, and when the arms are lowered, will take up the slack under the arms and
draw the front of the basque snugly to the figure.
In Fig. 2 the basque front B is laced to the under-waist A by an elastic cord E as
more plainly shewn in Fig. 4, secured by hooks F as shewn in Fig. 3.
In Fig. 5, the elastic cords L L, are looped at G and pass through the flexible
pieces H, H, provided with eyelets."
In Fig. 6, the dotted lines J, J, represent the points at which the basque front B
joins to the under-waist A.
Other forms of elastic attachments may be used to produce the same results in
holding the basque front and its recovery of original position in the movements of
the arms, also other methods of securing the springs or elastics to the basque or
waist.
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. The combination with a dress waist having basque fronts, of elastic straps
located between such waist and fronts, and connecting the two as set forth.
2. The combination with a dress waist having basque fronts, and fastenings
secured to such waist and fronts, of elastic straps laced to such fastenings, as set
forth.
3. The combination with a dress waist having basque fronts and flexible fastenings
secured to such waists and fronts, of elastic straps laced to such fastenings, as
set forth.

Improvements in Screwed Bushes for the Bungholes of Casks or
other Vessels.
I, JAMES GILLIES, of the firm of James Gillies & Coy., Brewers' Engineers,
Glenpark Street, Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, 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 which relates to screwed bushes for the bungholes of casks or
other vessels, and is a development of the invention described in the Specification
of Letters Patent granted to me No. 2653 of 1869 has for its object by an
improved formation at the neck or junction of the outer flange and body of the
bush to ensure a reliable tight joint against leakage whilst obviating risk of
splitting the stave of the cask in which the bunghole is formed and of cracking
or breaking off the flange in screwing the bush in place. In lieu of forming the
screwed body of the bush with an uniform taper throughout its length as described
with reference to Figure 2 of the drawings annexed to the Specification of the
aforementioned Patent, I form it with a thickened and curved or conical neck
piece A at the junction of the screwed body and the flange of the bush as repre-
sented in sections at Figures I and 2 and in elevation at Figures 3 and 4 of the
accompanying drawings. The bunghole is similarly formed and when the bush is
screwed in place the conical neck piece tightly bears upon the wood of the stave or
becomes seated like a conical valve and constitutes a water tight joint, thus obviating
the necessity for screwing down the bush to form a tight joint between the underside
of the flange B and the outer surface of the stave and consequently avoiding
liability to breakage. The screw thread itself is retained in its original form being
of a regular pitch throughout and becoming shallower as the thread winds round
the conical neck piece until it disappears under the flange or rim. In some cases,
however, the flange is dispensed with, the conical part being carried to the extreme
edge of the bush.
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 :-
A screwed bush for the bungholes of casks or other vessels formed with a conical
neck piece, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

An Improved Device for Administering Medicine and the like.
I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of the firm of Herbert & Co., Patent Agents,
of 18, Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C. London, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention a communication to me from abroad by William Henry
Harrison Doty, Schuyler Hopper and Andrew Hopper, all of Paterson, N.J. United
States of America, Gentlemen, 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 improvement in instruments or devices for administering
medicine to animals; and the invention consists in the details of construction set forth
in the following specification and claim.
In the drawing the letter A indicates the discharge pipe of the instrument. A bulb
or compressible hollow ball B is shown secured to the pipe A. The mouth of the
discharge-pipe is provided with a reversible lag C, of rubber, cloth or other suitable
flexible material.
When it is desired to administer a pill to a horse or other animal, the bag C in the
mouth of the discharge pipe is pressed inwards, as shown in full lines in the drawing,
and the pill D is placed into the bag. The pipe A is then inserted into the throat of
the animal a suitable distance, and on compressing the bulb B the bag C is forced out
to the position indicated by dotted lines in the drawing and the pill D is ejected into
the throat of the animal.
The pipe is of course long enough to extend a suitable distance into the throat of
the animal. In place of the bulb B a piston working in a cylinder can be made to
similarly operate the bag C.
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 :-
A medicine-administering device having its mouth or discharge-opening provided
with a reversible bag, substantially as described.

An Improved Copying Ink.
We, WILLIAM SCHLUMPF CONRAD, of St. Edward's, St. Edward's Road, Southsea,
Hants, and HENRY THOMAS LILLEY, of St. Clair, Victoria Road, Southsea, Hants,
Schoolmasters, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This Invention consists of an Improved Copying Ink by means of which a clear
copy of a written document can be rapidly obtained by simply blotting the writing
with any ordinary copying-paper; both original and copy being left dry and ready
for folding, and similar in appearance to a document written with ordinary black or
blue-black ink.
The method of preparing this Ink is as follows: Boil one pound of crushed Gall-
nuts in one and a half gallons of Water until reduced to three quarts. After straining
or filtering this solution add to each pound of it two ounces of Sulphate of Iron, one
sixth of an ounce of Aniline blue black, three ounces of Chloride of Magnesium and
two ounces of "Glycerine-Indigo," which last is prepared by adding one third of an
ounce of Indigo-carmine to each pound of Glycerine; mix thoroughly; the ink is
then ready for use.
The above-mentioned proportions may be modified; for instance, more Gall nuts
and Sulphate of Iron or more Indigo carmine or more Analine blue-black may be
added if a deeper colour is required; the addition of Indigo-carmine tending to
produce a darker copy while the addition of Aniline blue black leaves the original
darker. The quantities of Glycerine and Chloride of Magnesium may also be altered ;
the tendency of each is to keep the writing moist, but the Chloride of Magnesium
alone, if used in sufficient quantity to keep the writing moist, prevents the solution
of the colouring matters, and the Glycerine, if used alone, prevents the original and
copy from being left dry and ready for folding.
To use this Ink the original document is written in the ordinary manner, avoiding
excessive thickness of line; it is allowed to dry for a minute or longer up to one hour
or thereabouts, the copying-paper is then pressed firmly over it and allowed to
remain for a few seconds. If the first copy is obtained by slight pressure a second
copy may be taken by applying a greater pressure by hand or machine.
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. The employment of Indigo-carmine in conjunction with Aniline blue-black in a
copying-ink intended for use with dry copying-paper.
2. The employment of Glycerine in conjunction with Chloride of Magnesium in a
copying-ink intended for use with dry copying-paper.
3. The general process of preparing a copying-ink essentially as above described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Furnace, Oven, and such like Doors.
I JAMES GEORGE WILLETT, of 1 Arthur Street East, London in the County of
Middlesex, 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 certain improvements connected with furnace oven and
such like doors and has for its object to provide means of fastening and liberating
such doors, at once simple cheap and efficient and whereby the usual warping and
opening at the corners from the effect of heat is prevented.
I will describe my invention in reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a diagram; Figure 2 an outside elevation, and Figure 3 an inside
clevation of a furnace door with the lining plate partly broken away to show my
improvement. A rectangular door is illustrated hinged in the usual way.
According to my invention 1 use for the fastening of the door two levers LL
operated in approximately vertical directions from a central vibratory lever disc or
equivalent such as A pivotted to the door.
The simplest method of this is illustrated in Figure 1 where the fastening lovers LL
are pivotted at to the lever A which is operated by a handle C.
In use 1 generally apply my invention as shown in figures 2 and 3. The lever A
is in the form of a disc which may be suitably ornamented and with a handle C, it is
placed near the front edge of the door and pivotted at b to the face of the door. This
door is made hollow and the levers L L are arranged in the intervening space
pivotted at to the disc A, the said pins work in cross slots through the door and
the levers L L reciprocate in vertical guides 99 formed between the inner edge
beading of the door and the back plate P. The ends of levers L L are suitably
bevelled and engage with the usual striking plates in the door frame or furnace front.
When the handle is horizontal the levers L L are forced outwards and the door is
fast; to release it the handle is raised as shown dotted and the levers withdrawn.
The door being thus secured at both top and bottom sides, near the front corners,
instead of having only a single central fastening as is usually the case, the liability to
warp or twist is in great measure obviated.
I may in cases of large doors use a third lever securing the front edge as shown
dotted at L' figure 2, but I find that two fastenings are sufficient as described.
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 :-
The improvement connected with furnace oven and such like doors consisting in the
application thereto of the combination of levers A, L, L, and handle (), arranged and
operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in the Process of Manufacturing Coated Wire.
I, FREDERIOK BAKER of 228 Albert Road Aston in the County of Warwick Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object Improvements in the Process of Manufacturing
Coated Wire by which a saving in coating material is effected and a better article is
produced at a cheaper rate. My invention is as follows:-
I take iron or steel wire as it is in a loose coil and immerse it in a suitable bath and
coat it with tin by electro deposition which puts a much more even coating thereon
than by the usual mode of dipping the coil into a fluid bath of tin. I then place the
coil upon a swift or reel from whence I draw through a die or dies to smooth and
finish the surface of the wire & this I do by means of a revolving block which draws
the wire through the die in the ordinary manner.
Wire so treated will be found to be more securely coated and less material used in
the process besides being a better finish.
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 improved process of manufacturing coated iron or steel wire substantially as
herein set forth.

Improved Apparatus for Propelling Boats by Man-power.
I FRITZ BÄTJER of 31, Fruchthallen Hamburg in the Empire of Germany, Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention consists in an improved boat propelling apparatus to be operated
by man power and intended principally to rotate a screw which causes the motion of
the boat.
and
The device is represented in the accompanying drawing in which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevation of a boat provided with the apparatus in section
Fig. 2 a plan of the boat.
a is a screw which is fastened to the shaft m which carries at its end the small
spur wheel r.
The shaft b located vertically above and parallel to the shaft m carries
a larger spur wheel which gears into the small wheel; the shaft 6 carries also the
bevelled toothed wheel H. For the simplification of the construction one can also
as seen by the drawing use an interiorly toothed wheel on the bevelled wheel H
instead of the larger spur wheel.
The propelling of the gear and its reversing takes place as follows.
The shaft D provided with two pedals is journalled in front of the gear in the
boat and can be brought into rotary motion by the boatman. On the crank shaft D
are arranged movably on key ways two bevelled toothed wheels F F¹. Said wheels
are provided with a disengaging device which is operated by the boatman and which
is arranged as follows. Two horizontal levers t and t¹ fastened to the vertical
spindles and p are provided with handles by which the boatman can turn the
spindles p and pl. A cross bar y between the two levers t and t¹ causes them both
to be moved at the same time.
Each spindle ppl has an arm c, c¹ which gears with a fork over the nave of the
respective bevelled wheel F F¹. When the boatman moves the levers t t¹ the
wheels F F are moved at the same time on the crank shaft D. By this arrangement,
the boatman may gear by means of the levers t t the wheel F or the wheel with
the bevelled toothed wheel H. As the wheels F and F¹ gear with the wheel H at
opposite sides the gear wheel will be reversed by the reversing of the levers t t'
and the screw will operate to advance or back according to the intention of the
boatman.
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 boat propelling device consisting of the pedal crank shaft D of the bevelled
wheels F F adjustable by the reversing mechanism tt, p p², c c¹ and of the gear
shaft provided with bevelled wheel H which shaft rotates the screw shaft by means
of a spur gear.
