Improvements in Belt Fasteners.
I, HEINRICH ROLLBÜHLER, of Dachau in the Kingdom of Bavaria and German
Empire, 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 relates to an improved construction of belt fastener in the use of
which no tools are required, and by means of which repairs and tightening or
slackening of the belt may be readily effected.
I will describe my improved fastener with reference to the accompanying
drawings in the various figures of which similar parts are denoted by similar
letters of reference.
The fastener consists of a rectangular frame a, the inner sides of which are
tapered to receive the wedge shaped piece c, with the ends of the belt interposed
between them. The frame is shewn in plan by Figure 1 where a a are the bevelled
sides and b the ends. It may also be provided with flanges d d which may be
bent downwards as shewn by Figure 4 in section. The tapered sides of the
wedge c, shewn in plan by Figure 2, and in cross section in Figure 4, are
roughened or provided with projecting points as shewn.
A vertical hole is formed
through the wedge as indicated at e, in which there is formed a tooth or projec-
tion. A spring clip f, Figures 3 and 4, is passed down through the hole e.
This clip has teeth formed in its face, adapted to engage with the tooth in the
hole. Through a loop in the bottom of the clip, a short rod g is passed for the
purpose hereinafter described.
The ends of the belt to be joined, i i, are turned up within the frame a,
(Figure 4) and the wedge c is inserted between them with the narrow side down,
so that the ends of the belt are firmly pressed between the sides of the wedge
piece and those of the frame. For the purpose of more firmly securing the ends
of the belt in the frame, the toothed spring clip is forced into the hole e in c,
until one of its teeth engage with the tooth in the hole. The ends of the rod g
then rest upon the ends of the belt and the belt is thereby secured so that it
cannot possibly work loose.
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 belt fastener constructed and arranged substantially as herein before described
and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

ANDREW TAYLOR 49 Moreton Place, Charlwood Street in the Parish of Saint
George's, Hanover Square Westminster in the County of London Watchmaker 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:
According to this invention I employ two springs to form the notch of the lever
in place of the notch now used in what is known as the resilient escapement. The
springs may be of any form but I prefer them to be of the form shewn at B. C. in
the drawings so as to bend at right angles to the length of the spring lever and
shorten. The springs are attached to the lever at their base by a dovetail and a
slot with screw by which their length may be adjusted.
EE banking pins for lever.
FF banking of springs.
The springs are united at their base and fixed in a dovetail in the lever with a set
screw and from thence are divided into the two spring rings B. B. from which they
continue as straight springs to their points at FF where they form the points of
the notch and thus the points of the notch become moveable springs instead of
being solid as in the notch now in use.
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. Lever escapements arranged as described in such manner that I place two
springs in the place of the notch now in use so that when the impulse pin after a
vibration of undue amplitude strikes the notch formed by the two springs it may
be able to pass it by the spring yielding in a direction at right angles to the plane

page_text: of the movement of the lever and shortening end wise so that the impulse pin may
pass and thus prevent disturbance of rate or possible fracture.
2. Resilient escapements substantially as described-and illustrated by the annexed
drawing.

make an enlargement at the underside of the but-socket A as shown at e to
admit the metal plate with which the shafts are usually bound or armored at
the underside and the tubular part is strengthened in its connection with the
but-socket A by the web f.
We
In case of any accident to a shaft a new shaft may be readily obtained and
fitted into the but-socket A to replace the broken one.
The tubular part b, made to receive the iron draw bar B, may be replaced by a
tubular socket C the casting being then as represented in Figures 4 and 5 the
tubular socket C serving to unite the two shafts by means of a square wooden bar
instead of the iron draw bar.
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. A but-socket for shafts of vehicles substantially as described.
2. In means for framing shafts in pairs for vehicles the combination of the
shafts, the but-socket the tubular receiver for a draw bar and the projecting part
of the hinge for connecting the shafts with the vehicle substantially as described
and shown in the accompanying drawings.

Missouri, United States of America, 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:-
In the drawings
Fig. 1, is a perspective view of my complete invention, and
Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the same with the movable jaw in section.
Referring to the drawings:
1 indicates a stationary jaw and 2 a handle secured to the same or cast integrally
therewith in any suitable and mechanical manner.
Said handle is provided with a series of teeth 3 preferably of the construction
as shown in Figs. I and 2.
4 indicates a movable jaw the same being provided with a transverse per-
foration 5, and parallel inclined portions 6, and also with a projection 7 which is.
adapted to engage teeth 3 of the handle.
The inclined portions 6 are to permit the movable jaw 4 to be tilted and moved
forward for disengaging the projection 7 with teeth 3.
8 indicates a spiral spring carried by jaw 4 on which is mounted a plug 9
which bears against the handle 2 for engaging projection 7 with the ratchet
teeth 3.
Whenever a wrench is applied to a nut or any object, the resistance of the
same which acts on the movable jaw 4 will cause said jaw or rather the projection 7
of the same to engage with teeth 3 and thereby lock said jaw-of course to effect
the disengagement with said projection and teeth it is only necessary to tilt or
move the movable jaw a little forward.
I may dispense with the spring without materially affecting the operation of
the wrench.
10 indicates a pin or lug for preventing the movable jaw 4 from striking the
handle 2.
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. A wrench consisting of a stationary jaw carrying a handle, a jaw movable
on said handle and adapted to be locked on the same by the resistance of the
object to which said wrench is applied, substantially as set forth.
2: A wrench consisting of a stationary jaw carrying a handle, a jaw movable
on said handle, and means for locking said movable jaw on said handle, sub--
stantially as set forth.
3. A wrench consisting of a stationary jaw, a handle provided with ratchet
teeth secured to or cast integrally with said jaw, and a movable jaw provided
with inclined portions 6 and projection 7 movable on said handle, so constructed
that the resistance to be overcome will lock said movable jaw on said handle,
substantially as set forth.
4. The combination of a stationary jaw 1, a handle 2 provided with ratchet.

Fig. 5, inside face of junction.
Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts in any of the figures.
In the manufacture of these buckles or hoops according to one method, two bars
of iron or steel are cut off to the desired length, such as shown in Fig. 1, to form
the sides of the buckle, then two U shaped pieces are placed between the ends
of the two side bars and the whole are fastened together by rivets or by other
means, and brought to a welding heat for manipulation under the hammer.
To enable this to be done, and so that a clean forging may be produced to
the exact dimensions required, an inside tool is necessary, and one that can be
readily released from the forging.
We therefore construct the mandril illustrated in Figures 3, 4, and 5, of the
annexed drawings.
It is made in two parts A, and B, which are dovetailed together as seen in Fig. 4,
the face of the part A, being shown in Fig. 5.
The block C, we prefer to make about half the length of the central opening in
the buckle, and the block D, which fits the open end of buckle, may be rather
longer than the said opening, and in practice we prefer to make the blocks rather
shallower than the openings so that they will not be struck by the hammer, but
that is not material.
The mandril is divided vertically and diagonally for the purpose of facilitating
its release from the forging, which it will be understood contracts as it becomes
cooler while being worked under the hammer.
This diagonal division forms an important feature in our invention, as owing to
this formation, a few light blows struck upon the top of the part B, will at once
release it from the grip of the buckle, partly on account of its tapering shape
and also by reason of the oblique or diagonal faces being machined smooth.
The two parts are held together and in position by dovetailed strips E, which fit
into dovetailed recesses or grooves F, seen in Fig. 5.
A modification of this construction is to make the block in three parts, the
centre one being made with a taper on both sides and provided with either
grooves or strips. The recesses G, are used to receive knocking off tools we do
not claim these as part of our invention.

page_text: The flanges H, lie upon the edges of the buckle and are for the purpose of
bringing them up square.
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 mandril, or spring-buckle forging tool, constructed with two projecting
blocks C, and D, and divided longitudinally into two parts, the division being made
either vertically or obliquely, for the purpose specified, and substantially as
herein before described and illustrated.
2-A mandril or tool as hereinbefore described made in three pieces, the centre
piece having either tapered strips, or slots to connect it with the side pieces, for
the purpose specified.

An Improved Means for Operating the Wicks of Lamps.
1, ERNST HAECKEL of Reichenbergerstr., Berlin, in the German Empire.
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 means for rapidly operating the wicks of petroleum
lamps of the kind in which the wick drivers are set in operation from a screwed
sleeve or collar. In this way, as hitherto, the wick can only be very slowly
regulated by hand. The object of this invention is to render the rapid rotation of
the sleeve practicable by providing the same with a grooved pulley-rim over which
a cord or chain is passed for operating the same.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a horizontal section of a lamp burner,
Fig. 2 shews the burner with a grooved pulley-rim attached to the screwed
sleeve and operated by a cord.
Fig. 3 burner with a screwed sleeve provided with a rectangular groove, the
sleeve being operated by a chain.
a are the wick drivers, b the screwed sleeve c pulley rim or groove thereon,
these two parts fixed together or in one piece turning right or left between the
upper and lower casing e, f, whereupon the wick drivers in gear with the screw
thread of the sleeve bare caused to turn and move the wick up or down.
For the purpose of rapidly rotating sleeve and therewith wick drivers a, a
chain or cord is passed over groove c by the arrangement in which of studs or by
the provision therein of an uneven surface the slipping of the chain or cord may
be prevented.
The burner casing is fitted with a wire frame e¹ formed with two guide eyes for
the chain or cord so as to carry this clear of the oil reservoir.
The ends of the chain or cord are provided with rings or handles. By sharply
pulling the one or the other end the wick is raised or lowered in the latter case the
flame being at once extinguished without smell.
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 petroleum lamps of the kind referred to the means for operating the wicks of
the same consisting in a grooved part c in combination with sleeve b. operated by a
chain or cord from part c substantially as described and shewn.

I, WILLIAM EDWARD BARNES of 52 St. Peters Street South Croydon Surrey
Carpenter and Joiner do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the frames used in gardens for containing plants, and
has for its object to provide a more durable frame, than has heretofore been used,
and which shall be warm and damp proof.
In carrying out my invention, instead of constructing the frames of wood or of
brick, I form them of slabs of artificial stone, attached together by bolts at each
end passing through from one side to the other and fixed by nuts.
The corners are preferably also closed by suitable cement.
The sash on top slides between guides which project upwards on each side, and is
provided with a tie rod extending across to give greater strength. With this
arrangement, the frame can be readily taken to pieces and put up again & is not
liable to rot, or to be attacked by insects.
