Improvements in Sounding Apparatus of the Kite Type.
CARLTON JOHN LAMBERT, of Royal Naval College, Greenwich, CAPTAIN ALFRED
CARPENTER, R.N., Sanderstead Road, Croydon, & SAMUEL HUBBARD JAMES,
3, Douglas Villas, Streatham Common, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows: —
Whereas the thin spiral springs of the kites hitherto used are found to rust
quickly & break, necessitating repeated renewals, in this invention we dispense
with spiral springs altogether & make the trigger itself of spring steel or brass
split in two or more parts near its extremity, so that the point of the trigger is
swelled out into a split bulb or other convenient form larger than the hole of the
striker. When therefore the hole in the striker is forced over the trigger the split
bulb of trigger is first compressed in passing through the hole of the striker &
expands afterwards, thus holding the striker in position without the aid of other
springs.

We, CARLTON JOHN LAMBERT, of Royal Naval College, Greenwich, Professor
of Mathematics, CAPTAIN ALFRED CARPENTER, R.N., Sanderstead Road, Croydon,
& SAMUEL HUBBARD JAMES, 3, Douglas Villas, Streatham Common, Civil 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 follow-
ing statement:―
The object of this invention is to improve upon the lever & spiral spring of the
kites described in British Letters Patent Number 17,124 of 1890.
Whereas the thin spiral springs of the kites hitherto used to keep the striker
in place have been found to rust quickly & break. In this invention we dispense
entirely with spiral springs to keep the striker in place-but we make the trigger
itself into a spring by splitting it into two or more parts for part of its length as
shewn in drawing (Fig. 2) which shews said trigger split or forked near its
extremity Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the same thing.

page_text: It will be seen that the end of the trigger is swelled out into a split bulb or
other convenient form larger than the hole in the striker when therefore the hole
of the striker is forced over the split bulb of this trigger end the latter is first
compressed in passing through the hole of the striker & expands afterwards thus
holding the striker in position without the aid of other springs.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
In a sounding kite a trigger partly split longitudinally forming itself a spring
& furnished with a bulb to hold the striker in place substantially as described &
for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in the Preservation of Carbide and its Subsequent
Treatment for Use in the Production of Gas.
I, CARL JAKOB LUNDSTROM, of Scheelegatan 18, Stockholm, Sweden, Student
of Philosophy, 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:--
Some metallic carbides are very easily influenced by water, whereby combustible
gas is formed. On account of this there arise difficulties in transporting and keep-
ing large quantities of carbide.
The present invention has in view to prevent this inconvenience.
Experiments made have proved that if the carbide be covered or impregnated
with a matter indissolvable or hardly dissolvable in water, for instance oil, or
turpentine or similar matters or mixtures of them, the carbide afterwards can be
placed in water for a long time without decomposition taking place. In this
way the advantage is reached, that thus treated carbide can be kept in any way
whatever without danger of fire ensuing.
The chief use of carbide is on contact with water to produce gas (for lighting).
A carbide prepared according to the above described method can again be made
sensitive to the influence of water, either through the heating of the carbide or
by treating the carbide with such matters as partly at least have a solvent influence
on the matter used for the impregnating of the carbide such as sodium lye, solution
of boric acid or the like, or by mixing the water to be used for developing the gas
with the said matters. Experiments prove that for instance carbide saturated with
oil and insensitive to water, still is decomposed by a solution of boric acid or a
sodium lye or by a solution of soda or similar material.
Through such a process this prepared carbide can be used for producing gas just
as well as common carbide.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
The method of preserving carbide until required for use consisting in impreg-
nating or covering it with a suitable material insoluble in water or hardly soluble
therein, or with a mixture of different such matters, in order thereby to render it
substantially insensitive to the influence of water and water steam and in con-
nection therewith the preparation of such treated carbide for use for the producing
of gas, consisting alternatively in, (a) heating or (b) treating the carbide with such
solutions as work entirely or partly in a decomposing manner on the material used

page_text: for the impregnating of the carbide for instance sodium lye, solution of boric acid
etc. or (c) through mixing the water used for the producing of gas with the
decomposing matters mentioned in (b).

Improvements in Reflectors for Cycle and other Lamps and other
similar purposes.
We, RICHARD HUGH BURMAN and ARTHUR FIELD BURMAN, both of Clyde.
Works, Weaman Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
Our invention has for its object improvements in reflectors for cycle and other
lamps and other similar purposes which are not liable to deterioration and
defacement as are those now in common use.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings showing two.
modes of constructing the same.
Figure 1 is a front view of a reflector with an exterior appearance common to
both our new reflector and to those now in use.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional elevation of our reflector on the line 1. 2.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional elevation also on line 1. 2 of a modification of our-
reflector.
The reflectors now in use are generally glass with a silvered back which cracks.
and deteriorates when subjected to heat in use, and becomes inoperative or less
effective for the purpose. To avoid this defect we make our reflectors with a metal
exterior casing or back B with a lining A made from copper, tin, white metal,.
German silver or other metal, either plated on the front side or otherwise worked:
to a very high state of polish, or with a polish natural to itself. Then comes a
plain or hollowed plate of glass E. which is secured with its reflector plate A by
turning over the edge 6¹ of B so as to secure the parts firmly together, or in any
other convenient manner. This plate A cannot deteriorate or be scratched and.
maintains its high reflecting qualities in its sealed position for a long time.
A similar effect will be produced by forming the back plate B of suitable metal
with natural lustre or to carry a polish whether plated or upon the metal itself, as
a substitute for the separate reflector A as shown at Figure 3.
These reflectors may be made of any desired size or shape and are applicable to
all kinds of lamps where reflectors are needed.
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 :-
CLAIM.
The improvements in reflectors for cycle and other lamps applicable to other
similar purposes consisting of a polished or plated medium A placed between the
back casing B and the transparent front glass E as shown by Figure 2, or its
canizalant

page_text: I, WILLIAM OATES, of the Firm of Oates and Green, Limited, of Horley Green
Works, Halifax, in the County of York, Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My invention relates to that class of waste water closets where the top of the
pedestal is provided with a flanged shoot or conical hopper as set forth in prior
Letters Patent to the present applicant and another No. 3155 of 1896.
My present invention consists in making the pedestal without a top flange but
the conical hopper is made with a double or compound flange made to fit on the
top of the flangeless pedestal. The flanged cone may or may not have a suitable
form of lid and I may groove the upper surface of the flange forming part of the
cone in which to insert wood, asbestos or any other material for taking the chill
or coldness from the flange which is made of porcelain. By forming the pedestal
without the top flange I can make them in an ordinary pipe moulding machine
whereby they can be made quickly and at a reduced cost.

Improved Means for Facilitating the Measurement of Ribbon and
the like."
We, HENRY EDWARD SKELTON, Warehouseman, JOHN VIGOR BROWN, Merchant,
and JOHN WILLIAM MCDOUGALL, Journalist, all of Napier, in the Colony of New
Zealand, 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 drapers' shops and other places a considerable waste of time occurs in
measuring ribbons, lace, lengths of material and the like. It is the object of
the present invention to provide means whereby such loss of time may be
avoided, and whereby a retailer when buying from the manufacturer has a
guarantee that he is receiving a correct length of material in any given roll.
To accomplish this object of our invention we provide a paper complement which
is divided and numbered into yards, metres, or other desired standard of measure-
ment, and this paper complement is rolled up with the length of ribbon or
material, care being taken that its zero corresponds with the commencement of
the same.
In order that the invention may be fully ascertained we have illustrated the
same upon the accompanying drawing, which is a perspective view of a roll of
ribbon provided with our complement.
On the drawing, the roll (a) has a paper complement (b) which is rolled up
with the ribbon (c). It will be seen that the complement is marked off into
measurement of yards there being eighteen yards upon the roll illustrated. If
the seller desires to cut off a quarter of a yard from such roll he will cut the
complement and the ribbon through at the division marked seventeen and three
quarters and a register will thus be left that there are seventeen and three
quarter yards of material on the roll.
The means for measuring the ribbon are thus always ready to hand as the
unrolling of the ribbon will unroll the complement, and in taking stock it is
not necessary to measure the whole length of material, but merely to read off
the amount shewn by the last division marked.
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 means for measuring ribbons and the like consisting of a paper com-
plement graduated and marked off into any desired standard of measurement

page_text: said paper complement being rolled up with the material so that the length of
material in the roll may be read at a glance, substantially as set forth herein.

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 a new game of skill and consists
in a cylinder of glass, with top and bottom tight fitting covers; one of the
covers may form part of the cylinder, as it is only necessary to have one cover

page_text: plate has curved slots u u cut to radii from the centre c in which pins p fixed in
the bed-plate, engage, and whereby the angle of the frame a is caused to follow
the curve of the cask, guided by the roller s. g is a segmental groove formed in
the plate, struck from the centre c, and having pins working therein attached to
the frame b.
When operating on casks of small diameters, as shown in Fig. 9, wherein the
angle of the cutting tool more nearly approaches the central line of the barrel and
the centre point e, the curve is of less depth than that followed by the roller s,
and a cask of smaller diameter obviously receives a groove of less curvature
compared to that of the larger cask.
Instead of governing the motion of the tool by the curved pattern plate f, this
object may be effected by means of a rotating crank, as shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7.
The plate b (Fig. 7) is provided with a lug, in which a slot is cut in a radial
line with the centre c. w is a vertical shaft, driven by bevel wheels in connection
with a rotating shaft w, driven by the shaft n which causes the rotation of the
rack r.
The shaft w carries a crank k, the crank pin of which works in the slot 7;
the crank making two revolutions to each single revolution of the barrel or
cask. This causes the frame with the tool to approach towards and recede from
the barrel twice during each revolution of the cask. To suit casks of varying
curvatures the throw of the crank pin may be altered in any well known manner.
Instead of a crank, a disc with double curvatures making one revolution, or an
eccentric making two revolutions, to one revolution of the cask, may be used for
the above purpose.
1. In a machine for making crozes for curved cask headings, the combination of
a tool holder so fitted and governed as to follow the curved heading at every revolu-
tion of the cask around its axis at a tangent to a suitable segment of a circle,
substantially as herein before described, and illustrated by the drawings.
2. In a machine for making crozes for curved cask headings as aforesaid, the
combination of a crank and slotted attachment to the frame a, or its or their
equivalent of a disc with double curvatures making one revolution, or an eccentric
making two revolutions, to one revolution of the cask, substantially as herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.

Mounting Window Prism Lights where the Prisms Intersect every
Edge of the Prism Light.
I, JOHN MEIGGS EWEN, of No. 1129 The Rookery, Chicago, County of Cook, State
of Illinois, United States of America, Mechanical Engineer, dó hereby declare the
nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to prism plates for windows and has for its object to provide
means for more securely fastening such plates together. It is illustrated in the
accompanying drawings, wherein
Figure 1 is an elevation of a prism plate composed of a series of prism lights;
Figure 2 is a section therethrough on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Like parts are indicated by the same letter in all the figures.
A is the surrounding frame or border; B represents the ties, strips or metal pieces
which lie between the prisms and form the frame; C are the side and therefore
mutilated prism lights, D the full sized prism lights and E the metal projecting
through the strips over on to the prism lights. These prism lights are assembled in
any desired manner in the net composed of the warps and ties and all the parts
are then placed in position by being immersed in an electrolytic bath under the
ordinary conditions, whereby a mass of electrically deposited metal E is deposited
about the members of the net and a series of electrically deposited masses of
metal E E are also deposited in the ends of the prism grooves. The invention con-
sists in combining a series of prism lights, each shaped so that the prisms intersect
all of its edges at comparatively regular intervals with a grid or net and then exposing
the whole in an electrolytic bath so as to form upon the members of the grids a series
of projections or masses of electrically deposited metal in the ends of all of such grooves.
This thoroughly binds the prism light all the way around its edge to and in a frame
and this makes a very tightly secured form of prism plate. Of course these prism
Jights may be shaped other than as I have shown them. It is only necessary to have
them shaped and have the prism arranged so that the prism grooves are arranged
about the entire edge of each prism light.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A prism plate comprising a series of prism lights each of which has all of its
surrounding edge interrupted at comparatively regular intervals by prism-grooves, in
combination with a grid or net in the meshes of which the prism-lights are fixed and
electrically-deposited metal attached to the net and projecting into the ends of all
the prism grooves.

SCHRODER, of Wilsnacker Strasse 13, Saddler, both of Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 a bicycle saddle which is capable of
being converted into a portable seat as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 of these drawings shews the bicycle saddle fastened in its customary,
position on the seat pillar of the bicycle frame,
Figure 2 shews the saddle as adapted for use as a portable seat, and
Figure 3 is a cross section on the line xx, Figure 2.
The saddle b is fastened in the ordinary manner on a cross support a which rests
with its long arm c in the hollow seat pillar d of the cycle frame. The perpen-
dicular arm c of the saddle support is formed at the point e with three jointed
pieces fff, provided with notches g, g¹, g³, on their upper surfaces. These
pieces which are shewn grouped together as at Figure 1, can as shewn at Figure 2,
be spread in relation to each other when the support has been removed from the
cycle frame whereby the saddle can be used as a portable seat.
To add to the stability of the seat radial struts h, h', he, are provided which are
jointed to the perpendicular arm c of the saddle support, and which lie normally
in grooves k, k, s, therein, but when the saddle is to be used as a portable seat
these struts are turned out of their places and entered into the notches g, g¹, g², of
the jointed pieces f,f, f, on the lower end of the arm c. The converting of the
evele saddle to a portable seat can thus be readily effected.
Having now partioularly 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:-
A cycle saddle support constructed substantially as described and wherein the
lower end of the perpendicular arm of the support is composed of three jointed

declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to an improved form of tooth brush, and is intended to
provide means by which the teeth may be more thoroughly cleaned than is the
case with the ordinary brush.
In carrying out my invention I propose to form the brush double, two sets of
bristles being employed placed at the inside of the fork, so that they face each
other.
In using the brush both sides of the teeth can be rubbed simultaneously, the
teeth extending between the two sets of bristles.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing which shows my improved tooth brush in perspective.
The stem A of the brush is made with the upper part or end a of peculiar form.
This part is of V form in cross section, the two side portions extending at an angle
and forming backs for the brushes. The two sets of bristles B are employed fitted
to each face or cheek. These bristles are cut so that their ends are opposite each

page_text: other forming a central groove into which the teeth project when the brush 17
applied.
The bristles thus rub on each side of the teeth ensuring that both the sides are
thoroughly cleaned.
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) An improved tooth brush provided with two sets of bristles placed so that
their ends face thus applying to both sides of the teeth simultaneously sub.
stantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(2) The improved tooth brush having the end of the stem double and to each
part a set of bristles fitted, two sets facing each other, substantially as described
and shown and for the purposes specified.

WALTER LAWSON ADAMS, Cycle Agent and Manufacturer, 319, London Road,
South Lowestoft, Suffolk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows;
The lug A, is bored parallel for a short distance, at its mouth, being a tight fit
for tube B. It is then tapered to a shoulder (', being larger at its back, as
shown in section of lug A.
The tube B, is split down the same distance as the taper in lug A.
The plug D, is turned the same taper as the hole in lug A. The plug D is then
placed on the shoulder C, in lug A.
The tube B is then either driven, or forced by an hydraulic press, into the lug A,
and over plug D, thereby forcing the split parts of tube B, into the tapered hol
of lug A, thus making a permanent joint without cutting holes in lugs to drive
plugs in; and leaving no projections on lugs.

page_text: I, DAVID RAITT ROBERTSON, of Port Brae Machine Works, Kirkcaldy, in the
County of Fife, N.B., Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in wringers, and consists in making the
lower roller of brass or other suitable metal instead of rubber; both rollers having
hitherto been made of rubber.
The object of the said improvement is to ensure the durability of the wringer
because the lower roller very soon gets unfit for use on account of the excessive
wetting and heat. The lower roller may be of solid brass or it may be a brass
cylinder with an iron or other metal core or spindle.
The two rollers may be operated by friction, the one or other of the rollers being
turned by a cranked handle in the ordinary way or the rollers may be operated
through the intervention of gearing.
