An Improvement in Jiggers for Coal.
I, JOHN IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, 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 :-
In the Specification No. 6341 of 1888 of an invention communicated by Julius
Bartsch there are described with reference to Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings annexed
to the said Specification a construction and arrangement of jiggers, from several of
which a portion of the coal is carried away by a worm conveyor marked J' in the
said figures.
The present invention has for its object to provide against stoppages and fractures
which sometimes occur in the use of this apparatus, as I shall describe referring to
the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan shewing a set of five jiggers arranged side by side and Fig. 2 is a
transverse section, part of which is shewn to an enlarged scale by Fig. 3. The
jiggers, as before, discharge into the case of a worm conveyor Je common to them all,
but this conveyor is situated at a lower level, and is supplied from each jigger by
sloping shoots A of rectangular section, each of these shoots being provided with a
manhole B to give ready access in case of obstruction.
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 :-
In combination with jiggers for coal, a conveyor situated considerably below the
outlets from the jiggers, and communicating with these outlets by sloping rectangular
shoots provided with manholes, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in and Connected with Boots, Shoes, Slippers,
and Socks.
We DAVID LORD of 4 Harrowby Street, Farnworth near Bolton, in the County of
Lancaster, Boot-maker, and ALFRED CLARE of 95 Worsley Road, Little Hulton, near
Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Secretary, 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 soles of boots shoes and slippers and similar articles
of wear for the feet and to socks such as are worn between the soles of the feet and
boots, and it has for its object to secure a greater degree of warmth and dryness than
can he obtained by the ordinary modes of construction.
In carrying out our Invention, we include within the soles of the boots shoes or
slippers or within the socks during their construction, one or more thicknesses or
layers of bladder or other similar membrane. Before the membrane is included
within the sole or sock we prefer to treat or impregnate it with oil, an elastic varnish,
a solution of paraffin wax or ozokerit and indiarubber or with other similar and
suitable material or compound which will tend to make and keep the membrane supple
and render it still more damp-proof.
In the manufacture of stitched boots and shoes the membrane may be placed upon
and secured to the insole when, upon closing the upper, the membrane is gripped with
the insole and the sole of the boot or shoe and the seam are both rendered waterproof
and impervious.
In the manufacture of machine sewn and rivetted boots shoes and slippers the
membrane may be secured to the insole either before or at the same time with the
outer sole.
In the manufacture of the socks the membrane is secured between the two layers
or between two of the layers or plies of material of which the socks are constructed,
as for example, between a layer of cork and of flannel or felt, and the membrane
may be secured therein by sewing, by cement, or by any means such as are employed
for securing together the different materials of which socks are ordinarily
constructed.
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 combination with the soles of boots, shoes, and slippers, the socks worn
within boots, shoes, and slippers, of one or more layers of bladder or similar
membrane substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.
(2) One or more layers of bladder or similar membrane treated with oil, elastic
varnish or similar material or compound, secured during manufacture between the
layers of leather or other material used in forming the soles of boots, shoes, slippers
and similar articles worn below the feet; substantially as and for the purpose herein-
before described.

Cleaning of Boiler Tubes and the like.
Year: 1889

page_text: Cleaning of Boiler Tubes and the like.
I CHARLES BADDELEY of 59 St. Pauls Road Camden Square Camden Town in the
County of Middlesex Gentleman 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 the improved construction of apparatus for the
more effectual cleaning of boiler tubes or the like by means of steam admitted to
the said pipe.
In carrying out my said invention I provide a nozzle through the sides of which
I form spiral grooves or channels to admit the steam to the tubes to be cleaned.
The nozzle is affixed to an ordinary steam pipe in any manner found most suitable
to my purpose.
In the accompanying drawings I shew in Figure 1, an elevation of my improved
nozzle. Figures 2 and 3 are sections on line a-b of Figure 1.
A represents the nozzle; B the spiral grooves; Ca washer or plate to close the
aperture of the pipe to be cleaned.
D is an ordinary steam pipe which I have shewn broken away.
In Figure 2 the washer Cis not shown.
The action of the apparatus is as follows;
The nozzle attached to the steam pipe D is, inserted in the end of the tube or the
like to be cleaned the washer C closing the end and so preventing the steam from
returning and scalding the operator.
The steam then being admitted to the nozzle through the pipe D is forced by its
own pressure out of the spiral grooves, said. spiral grooves giving the steam as it
issues from them, a rotary motion, and so cleaning the pipes or the like.

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 1
claim is-
1. The use of a nozzle for the cleaning of boiler tubes or the like such as is
herein described, such nozzle having spiral grooves or channels formed in the sides
thereof and which grooves or channels impart to the steam issuing from them a
rotary motion substantially as described.
2. The method of and apparatus for the cleaning of boiler tubes and the like such
as is herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
3. The general construction and arrangement of apparatus constituting my
improved nozzle substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying.
drawings.

Figure 4 is a sectional view.
'The invention consists in the several novel features of construction and operation
hereinafter described, and which are specifically set forth in the claims annexed.
It is constructed as follows:-
A is the spool, to one end of which is secured an L-shaped metal plate B.
1 is a slotway or thread channel, through which the thread passes from the spool.
2 is a piece of rubber or other like material secured to the plate B, with a slotway
in its upper face.
3 is the foot of the L-shaped plate, with itscentre and part of its side removed, and
having its upper inner edge sharpened for the purpose of cutting the thread.
It is operated as follows:-
When the thread is drawn from the spool through the slotway 1, to the desired
length, it is drawn down into the slit in the rubber tube, which, from its elastic
nature, grips the thread, and then, passing the thread into the slotway and under the
knife, a slight pull cuts off the thread, leaving the thread still gripped in the slit of
the rubber block, and held thereby in conjunction with the slotway 1, against
unwinding.
From this it will be observed that the function and purpose of the rubber block
with its slit are to hold the thread, both while being cut off, and afterwards against
unwinding from the spool.
When any desired length of thread is unwound, it is passed through the slotway 1,
thence through the slotway 4 in the rubber 2, and thence along under through the
removed portion of the foot 3, where it is severed, thus cutting the thread at any
desired length and securing the loose end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my
foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is
The combination with a spool and a thread wound thereon, of a metallic plate

page_text: secured to the spool and provided with a slit in its outer end and a knife upon its inner
end and a slitted rubber secured between the knife and slit, substantially as described.

Improvements in Shuttle Guards for Looms.
We, EDWARD PENROSE ARNOLD FORSTER, of the firm of William Fison and Co.
of Greenholme Mills, Burley in Wharfedale near Leeds, in the County of York,
Spinners and Manufacturers, and ANTHONY CRYER BOOTHMAN of the same place,
Weaving 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:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in shuttle guards for looms, and has
for its object the construction and application of an efficient guard that will
automatically move into such position on setting the loom in motion, that should
anything occur the shuttle is prevented from flying out of the "shed" and thereby
endangering the personal safety of the weaver or attendants; each guard is capable
of being moved into a position so as not to interfere with the full view of the reed and
warp threads for examination and repairing of defects.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1. represents a view of the hand rail of a
loom having our improvement attached thereto.
Fig. 2. is an enlarged detail of a portion of a hand rail with one end of our
apparatus attached thereto.
Fig. 3. a plan of the same.
Fig. 4. is a sectional detail through line a. b. and Fig. 5. an end view of a lever or
arm and plate.
To the ordinary hand rail A. of the loom, we attach two springs or yielding
brackets B. B. on each of which is mounted a lever or arm C. coupled together by a
guide bar D. Each of the levers or arms C. is prepared with a swell or projection C¹
on which is formed a flat surface at C2 which by the action of the respective spring
brackets B. is held against the plates E. E. thus keeping the guide bar D. in the
necessary position for preventing the shuttle leaving the loom should it be diverted
from its regular course.
When the loom is at rest the guide bar D. may be raised to the position shown by
dotted lines in Fig. 1. the flat portion at F. being then towards the plates E. E. but
not in contact therewith so that on the loom being put in motion, by the oscillation of
the hand rail A. the levers or arms C. turn on their centre or supporting pins P. and
allow the guide bar D. to fall into its normal position for preventing the shuttle
leaving the shed, the guide bar D. being held in that position by the spring brackets B. B.
pressing the flat surface of the levers or arms at C. against the face of plates E. E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same may be performed, we declare that what we claim
The combination of the spring brackets B. B. with the levers or arms C. connected
by bar D. and prepared with a projecting piece having a flat surface at C² all being
arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbefore set forth.

I, JAMES LAING MORTIMER of Seacombe in the County of Chester, Oil Refiner etc.
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 medicinal preparation or mixture, which is of
great service in the relief or cure of many affections, such as rheumatism, sciatica,
affections of the throat or chest, sprains and many others. The mixture also forms an
excellent hair lotion.
The invention consists in the employment of what I term "Mano Oil," in com-
bination with other suitable ingredients.
This oil is obtained from the carcasses of horses and is found in the part of the
body adjacent to the hair or mano which flows from the neck. It is found in about
5. per cent. of all horses, those which are fat and possess good manes being the most
productive of it.
If the horse be young, the oil is generally of a light colour, but if advanced in
years the product is of a brownish tint. It is immaterial which quality be used.
The materials with which I prefer to incorporate this oil are the oils of mustard
and of hyssop. I prefer the following formula, which is given as an example, though
I do not bind myself to the proportions therein set forth.

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 a medicinal preparation for human or veterinary use the employment of
"Mane Oil," that is, oil obtained from the roots of horses' manes or the parts in
proximity thereto, substantially as and for the purposes sot forth.
2. A medicinal preparation consisting essentially of "Mano Oil," combined with
the oils of mustard and hyssop, substantially in the proportions and for the purpose
specified.
3. The improvements in medicinal proparations or mixtures for external application,
substantially as described.

Improvements in Flap Valves for Sewers or Drains.
We, HENRY MUNDAY of 23 Oakley Square in the County of Middlesex, a Major in
the Hon Artillery Company and HENRY WALKER of 15 Henrietta Mews Brunswick
Square in the County of Middlesex, Sewer Flusher 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:-
A flap valve for a sewer or drain, as it is usually constructed, consists of a flap
generally of disc form which hangs by hinges above it in front of a facing forming
the end of the length of sewer or drain, so that the flap can swing away from the
facing and allow passage of fluid from the sewer or drain, but closes against the
facing to prevent passage of fluid in the opposite direction. The hinges by which
the flap is suspended frequently give way and cannot be easily repaired or replaced,
50 that, when fracture occurs, it often becomes necessary to remove the facing and
flap entirely and to substitute a new set. This invention relates to a construction
such that repairs can be readily effected as we shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of a
flap valve and seating according to this invention. The frame is a casting made
with an inclined facing A with a circular hole through it covered by the flap. On
each side of the facing is a projecting rib C with a flange D at each side, so that
when the frame is built in the brickwork it is firmly held. At the back of the
facing A there is a semicylindrical seating E to receive the end of the sewer or drain
pipe which abuts against the facing.
Above the facing a recess is formed between two horizontal ribs F and G, this
recess being large enough to admit a wrench for screwing up nuts on the hinge
bolts H.
These bolts which pass through holes of the rib G may be hook bolts as shewn
in Fig. 1 to engage in eyes of arms K projecting up from the disc valve B; or
they may be made, as shown in Fig. 3, eye bolts to receive a pin L passed through
them and through the arms K. When the bolts H become slack or give way as they
are apt to do, access can readily be got to their nuts between the ribs F and G, so
that they can be tightened up or have new bolts substituted for them without having
to displace or interfere with the framing.
The framing, instead of being cast in metal, may be made of earthenware artificial
stone or cement.
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 :-
In the seating frame of a flap valve for a sewer or drain, forming a recess between
two horizontal ribs to give access to the nuts of the hinge bolts, substantially as
described.

A New or Improved Process for Waterproofing Materials or Fabrics
and the like.
We, JACQUES GRUNHUT of South Shields, in the county of Durham, Chemist,
ETIENNE GONTY and FREDERICK BENOIT GONTY both of The Wharf Dye Works,
Bath Lane Leicester, in the county of Leicester, Dyers 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 new or improved process for waterproofing all kinds of
stuffs, tissues or fabrics made from wool, cotton, or silk, or combinations of such
materials, linen, and leather or compositions of the same felted bodies or fabrics and
the like, either in the raw or unmanufactured state, or in shaped articles made of
such materials as the case may be for making them absolutely waterproof by the
means hereinafter specified.
For example, we make a bath composed of about four pints of mineral oil and mix
therewith one pound of paraffin or paraffine wax, and three pounds of Spermaceti.
The paraffin and spermaceti being previously dissolved together and then mixed
with the mineral oil in a suitable vessel, pan or receptacle, we then enter, or immerse
the piece of cloth or other material into the bath and turn the fabric or material for
half an hour or thereabouts then take it out, or extract it and dry when it is finished.
After this process it is perfectly water tight and impervious to water, and can be
used for all shades of dyed material from light to dark without injuring it.
We can also use in place of mineral oils, Benzole; either pure or commercial, and
instead of Spermaceti use whale fish bones, or any other fish bones, and instead of
paraffin we can use Vaseline or Stearine, and make a bath into which the material is
placed, turned, extracted and dried in the manner hereinbefore described.
We do not confine ourselves to the exact quantities either in measure, weights or
time herein specified for they may vary.
Our new process for waterproofing materials of all kinds differs from all other
processes now in use.
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 means for making any tissue or fabric waterproof, or water-
proofing materials by the employment of Benzole, or with all kinds of mineral oils
and Spermaceti, whale bones, or any fish bones, paraffin, vaseline or stearine matter,
or any other ingredient belonging to the paraffine, Spermaceti, vaseline or Stearine
group in the manner and for the purpose substantially as hereinbefore described and
set forth.

follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct lags and pins used in dobbies and
Jacquards so that the pins are easily and readily fixed and changed, also that when
in position they cannot possibly fall out or work loose.
I construct my lags of wood as usual with pin holes preferably countersunk or
enlarged at one side to receive the heads of the pins which are of metal, a metal or
other back is pivotted or hinged upon each lag so as to fit over the back heads of the
pins and prevent them from falling out, or the metal back may be made on the hit and
miss principle and slide laterally or sideways, the holes in the back coming opposite
the holes in the lags when requiring to take out the pegs; and a suitable screw or
catch retains the back in position.

taining cotton or other fibrous materials of various counts and thicknesses and each
reel capable of revolving separately so as to facilitate the withdrawal of lengths of
cotton from any individual bobbin at will. By thus mounting and keeping the reels
all together in a single frame 1 put up or present the same in an attractive and
convenient form for sale and I also afford on the outside of the frame spaces suitable
for being filled up with printed matter and thus capable of being used for advertising
purposes.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side view Fig. 2 and 4 are end view and
Fig. 3 a plan view of my improved reel supporting apparatus.
In all the views a, a is the improved frame which in its simplest form may be
constructed of card-board of the desired length and width and bent up at right
angles as shewn more clearly in Fig. 2. The reels or bobbins of cotton or other
fibre b, band of various sizes as illustrated are mounted upon a tape or cord c
which passing through the sides of the said frame and through the bobbins so interlaces
such frame and bobbins together that they mutually support each other. By so
mounting the reels it will be apparant that each reel is capable of turning
separately upon its own axis and thus its contents may be detached by the user at will
and without disturbing the other bobbins.
The sides and bottoin surface of the frame a, a are capable of affording spaces for
printed matter, numbers, sizes &c. or for advertising purposes as indicated in Fig. 1.
In the better class of my improved stands or apparatus for supporting reels of
cotton &c. I construct the frame a, a of metal, wood or any suitable material and in
some cases I substitute wires or rods for each individual bobbin in place of the single
tape or cord e passing through all the reels as hereinbefore described.
Having thus 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-
The improved arrangement and construction of reel supporting frame substantially
as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.

Improvements in Penstocks.
I MOSES JAMES ADAMS Sanitary Engineer Monkbridge 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 design & formation of the door or slide of penstock
& its attachments closing the opening or through way of the apparatus & in the mode
of lifting & closing this door or slide. In place of the ordinary door or slide actuated
by a rack & worm or by direct pull I employ a circular disc as door closing when down
the opening of the apparatus. Attached to a convenient position in the framework of
penstock is a chain band or equivalent arrangement in which is slung the circular
door & by raising the end of which the revolving door is readily lifted & the passage
through the apparatus opened.
In the smaller sizes a ring may be attached to chain end for convenience of the
operator raising the disc whilst in the larger sizes I prefer to attach the chain end to
a pulley & to actuate it by a lever or similar arrangement.
Drawings attached A being the penstock shewing disc and chain B cross section
of above Clever arrangement.
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. The use of a revolving disc as a door in combination with a penstock frame or
similar apparatus such disc to be actuated lifted or closed by a chain or band or
equivalent passing under or round it or equivalent arrangement.

Improvements in Veneering Pianoforte Cases.
I HENRY DIXON of 129 Lower Kennington Lane, in the County of Surrey,
Pianoforte Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to the veneering of pianoforte cases whereby they may be
rendered damp proof and an effective appearance given at less cost than the fine wood
veneers used at present for the purpose. The invention consists in veneering the
white or dark woods of the case with celluloid sheets bent to form mouldings or cover
over mouldings when desired by heat and when tortoise shell, or amber or other
transparent celluloid veneer is used, coating the wood with whiting and glue or
otherwise with amber or other colour to form a light or coloured back ground.
To fix the celluloid veneer in place I coat the underside of it with methylated spirit
and so soften and partially disintegrate the underside. I then fix with glue and white
lead and fasten as with ordinary veneers.
I sometimes make mouldings for pianoforte cases by treating plaster or compo in
the same manner.

page_text: I, GEORGE MACAULAY-CRUIKSHANK of 62 Saint Vincent Street, Glasgow in th
County of Lanark, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as
communicated to me to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This Invention relates to that class of copying presses in which the pressure is
exerted by eccentric levers and the Invention consists in an arrangement whereby
the press is enabled to be used for taking copies in books of different thicknesses
as also in an arrangement by which the top platen of the press is brought back
to its normal or open position after pressure bas ceased.
To effect these objects the arms or brackets A formed on or secured to the lower
platen of the press and in which the pins of the eccentric B work are slotted as
more particularly seen in detail at D, e, f, figure 2, the pin of the eccentric acting
in the horn when a thicker book is being used and in the horn e when a thinner
one is employed. When not under pressure the pins of the eccentrics B can be
transferred from the horns f to the horns e of the slots D and vice versa by simply
sliding or moving the top platen or cover E of the press endwise. The eccentrics B
work or turn within straps G of metal bolted or secured to the top platen E and
in releasing the pressure or when the pressure has been taken off the top platen is
lifted or opened up by turning the wider parts of the eccentrics upwards.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me,
I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In an eccentric lever copying press the brackets or arms A having slots D with
horns e, f, of different lengths and arranged substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed..
2. In an eccentric lever copying press the combination of the eccentrics B straps G
and slotted arms A substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the
drawings annexed.

Improvements in Clocks and Watches.
I, RUDOLF RADLANSKI of Zaborze near Zabreze in Upper Silesia German Empire,
clock 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 :-
My invention consists of an apparatus which prevents the possibility of over winding
watches or clocks or any sorts of clock-works, musical clockworks &c. and thus
breaking the spring. The apparatus is, on account of its simplicity one of the most
reliable and cheapest of its kind.
In order to make my invention more clear I refer to the accompanying drawing
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the several views.
Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through the middle of the apparatus.
Figs. 2 and 3 are top views of the same with the spring in its two extreme
positions.
The pivot round which the spring is wound, is carried through the cover of the
casing a. The cover a is turned out conically and excentrically round the part of the
pivot which projects through the cover and into this turned outpart is fitted a ring c
having its outside edge turned conical to fit the turned out part of cover a and having
in its inside edge for notches 9 9 9 g and two angular notches e and serving as
stops. The pivot b has a projection consisting of a small pin k screwed into its end
which projects in the excentrically turned out part of the cover a and this projection
fits into the notches in the inside of ring c.
The working of the apparatus is as follows: when the spring has run down and is
about to be wound up as shown in fig. 2 the pivot & must be turned in the direction
of the arrow.
When the projection & comes round, it will pass into the notch y in
the ring c and turn the ring so far round until it again passes out of the notch; on
the second revolution it will pass into the second notch'g and so on until it comes to
the last notch. Having past out of the last notch it will come against the side of
the angular stop e and this prevents the pivot from being turned round any further
and therefore prevents the possibility of breaking or overwinding the spring.
When the spring is running down the ring c is moved in exactly the same manner
until the pink comes into the angular stop i. Of course it is not necessary that only
four notches should be made in ring e, the number of notches can be as desired, must
however correspond to the number of turns which are necessary to draw up the
spring.
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 clock works:
The combination of the conically turned out cover a with the ring c having any
desired number of notches 99 and two stops e and i and with the pivot of the spring
projecting through the cover and having projection k fitting into the notches in the
the
and for the
