An Improved Appliance for Preventing Down-draught in Chimneys
and Flues.
JOHN BROYDEN TONGE, of No. 27 Salthouse Road, Barrow-in-Furness, in the
County of Lancaster, Clerk of Works to the Furness Railway Company do hereby
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:
The appliance consists of a chimney-pot or top which embodies the essential
principles specified in my Complete Specification No. 7957, 1888, for "An
improved appliance for preventing down-draught in chimneys and flues" the
invention therein described being applied by means of a fire-proof chimney-pot on
top instead of by a frame or drawer to be inserted in the chamber of the flue or
chimney.
Of this modified form of use the following is a specification, reference being had
to the one drawing which accompanies this.
The figure is a sectional view of a chimney-pot showing that, at the point D, a
flap is binged, the said flap having its outward edge B curved upward. This
flap is supported at an angle of about 45 degrees by a fillet C, or other rest or rests,
placed on or in the side of the pot. Behind this flap is an outlet hole A by which
any draught striking upon the flap is carried off. Any draught passing this upper
flap is intercepted by a similar flap E which is placed below and inclined at an
opposite angle. This lower flap is supported and hinged in manner similar to that
specified for the upper flap and it is also supplied with an outlet hole A.
The curved edges B of the flaps are for the purpose of facilitating the upward
passage and withdrawal of the sweeping-machine used in cleaning the chimney or
flue.
The advantage of this modified form of use of my invention is that in many cases
a chimney-pot, fitted with my system may be more readily and inexpensively applied
than by the sliding frame or drawer hereinbefore mentioned as being the subject of a

page_text: previous specification, and the object of this application is to secure the rights of
applying my invention in either or any other convenient form. The device can
also be applied to flues, by inserting the hinged flaps and providing outlets.
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. A chimney-pot fitted with a system of flaps and outlets as and for the purposes set
forth.
2. The curvature of the edges of the flaps as & for the purpose set forth.
3. The use of moveable flaps and corresponding outlets in a chimney-pot or top of
suitable shape and material and in flues or other air passages where the prevention of
down-draught may be required, and to which I claim that my device is applicable.

ALFRED WALTER REYNOLDS and
FRANK SYDNEY REYNOLDS trading as
Reynolds & Son of 32 Crutched Friars in the City of London Nautical Instrument
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 instrument consists of two metal plates shown at (a) Fig. 1 & 2 in drawing
with two parallel grooves running lengthwise through each, between these grooves
and in the centre of each plate is a hole, into each groove is fitted a moveable rod (B)
having cut on one side only, along a portion of its length a row of teeth, these teeth
face the centre hole, into this hole is fitted a spindle (c) the top of which is squared
to take a key (D), and the bottom has teeth or cogs cut upon it to gear into the teeth
on rods (B). The middle portion is a plain round fitting, The two plates (a) are
fixed together, with the four rods (B) and spindle (c) between them in such a manner
that the act of turning the spindle (c) to the right or left causes all the four rods (B)
to shoot out from, or be drawn towards the centre at an equal ratio. A small spring,
(not shown in drawing) is fixed to plate to fit between the teeth of rods (B) to
prevent their moving when they are adjusted to the right position. To the outer end
of rod (B) is fitted a short leg (E) to bring the instrument to a proper level. To
adapt this instrument to compass place it on the top glass cover and turn spindle (c)
by means of key (D) until the four legs (e) on ends of rods (B) find a bearing on the
compass verge, when the spindle (c) will be found to be perfectly central and can be
used for azimuth sights &c. to work around. The spindle (c) can also have a small
hole drilled down its centre to take a "shadow pin." As will be seen, this instrument
can instantly be adapted to different sized compasses and will obviate the necessity of
having permanent "studs" or centres fitted on glass cover.

page_text: 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,
The instrument substantially as described and shown in drawings herewith, for
instantly, and accurately adapting to different sized compasses a
" centre stud" or
"axis" to carry a "shadow pin" or for azimuth sights &c. to work around and for
all analagous purposes.

Improved Device for Regulating Window Blind and other Cords.
I WILLIAM HARTE, Civil Engineer and Architect, Donegal, County Surveyors
Office, Londonderry do hereby declare the nature of my invention for the above to be
as follows
By this Invention I get rid entirely of the usual ball and socket at the end of the
Roller, now used as a check or brake, and much of the consequent or other usual
fittings; and I gain thereby increased width of the Blind, with more effectual control
and superior action. I use ordinary plain Roller ends, turning on axle points at
either end. The cord from the Roller passes down between a small roller, or sheeve,
against which it is pressed by a spring, the strength of which may if necessary be
regulated.
The brake or regulating power, at present imperfectly exercised by the ball and
socket arrangement, or some such arrangement, is taken off the Roller end and
transferred to the pulley-cord itself and which can be regulated to any required
degree.
I use this Invention either thus attached to the Roller furniture itself or in
a separate detached form, whereby it can be affixed to the window at a lower level if
desired.
Or it can be used as a check-pulley for other purposes such as, raising and lowering
lamps &c. as well.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I claim is,
1-This device through which cords for window Blinds or cords for regulating
other objects, such as lamps, flower vases, &c., are passed between a sheave and a a

page_text: spring, (the latter with or without a small friction roller or sheave on its end) and the
pressure or strength of which spring upon the cord can be regulated at will by the
regulator screw. or any other substitute for the screw.
2-1 claim to use this Invention in combination with, and as part of, Roller
furniture for Window Blinds and the like and also in a separate or detached form
whereby it can be affixed to the window Slip or casings, or in other places, like an
ordinary pulley rack for holding the Blind cord, or as a check pulley for suspending
such objects as lamps flower vases &c.
3-I claim to vary the form of this device to suit several purposes if necessary
while still preserving the essential features of the Invention.

Textile Fabrics.
I, ARTHUR HIND of the firm of A. Hind & Sons, Wyke Mills, Wyke, near Bradford,
in the County of York, 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 in the method of producing pattorn
designs suitable for textile fabrics, in a less costly manner both as to time and
material, and with all the utility of textile patterns constructed in the usual manner.
This method of producing pattern designs is for the most part applicable to striped
designs of "fine set" for that class of fabrics in which the major portion of the
warp threads are on the top or face of the fabric when woven.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a front view of a portion of a
textile pattern constructed according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a back view of
the same.
In carrying out this invention, I form each pattern by wrapping tightly around a
narrow card or other foundation A, warp threads B, of various colours and shades
arranged in the relative order for forming a particular design; each thread after
passing round the card foundation A, the number of times required of that colour or
shade in its particular place, is secured, by tightly wrapping it for a few times round
a narrow card or other foumlation C, placed on the back of the pattern card
foundation A, and secured at one end thereto.
The ends of the several threads from which the pattern design is constructed,
after being wrapped round the foundation and narrow card C as described, are
conducted along the back at D, until they are again severally required, when the
operation is repeated until the pattern is completed, when the several threads are
finally wrapped round and tied to the card C; thus forming with a series of warp
threads of various colours and shades, a pattern design having the same effect as one

page_text: that has been woven; and at very much less cost in material and time, as the
binding of the threads together by weaving, as is now the common practice of
constructing patterns is obviated.
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 herein described method of constructing pattern designs, the essential novelty
in such method consisting in the wrapping of warp threads around a foundation,
and securing them together without the aid of a loom.

Fig. 3. shews inside of pocket with watch and guard in position.
Fig. 4. shews outside of pocket torn away shewing tab to which the end of guard

We employ an addition to the ordinary watch chain consisting of a short piece of
gold, silver, or other suitable metallic chain A, or of any suitable material such as
feather or cord, to which is attached at one end a spring hook, ring, or other suitable
contrivance for holding the watch B, and at the other end a ring C of a suitable
diameter to slide easily on an ordinary watch chain D. The watch B is attached to a
short chain A. by means of the spring hook or other fastener and the ordinary watch
guard Dpasses and slides easily through the ring at the other end.
The ordinary watch guard D is not attached to the watch B by the hook at the end,
but is securely fixed to the inside of the watch pocket, by means of a bar, hook, ring,
button or any other suitable contrivance E passing through a suitable hole, or it may
be fixed in any suitable manner to the inside of the pocket.
The other end of the guard is attached in the usual way to a waistcoat button-
hole.

page_text: The watch cannot be lifted from the pocket by taking hold of the ordinary chain
which hangs outside the vest, because both ends of the said chain are fixed, one at the
vest button hole, the other inside the watch pocket. But there is no difficulty in with-
drawing the watch from the pocket by taking hold of it or the short chain to which it
is attached for as the watch is withdrawn it pulls the short chain along with it, and
this short chain slides easily along the ordinary watch chain by means of the ring at
its end.
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 use of an additional chain, to which the watch, sovereign purse or other
appendage is attached, and which is independant of the ordinary watch chain, as shown
and described.
2. Fixing the end of the ordinary watch chain to the inside of the pocket for the
purposes shewn and described.

I, ALFRED BREESE, of 34, Brewer Street, London, W., Manufacturer of Braces
and other Suspenders for articles of clothing 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 precise method of formation may be varied without affecting the principle
involved in the construction, but I purpose making this Clip in the following manner,
and of metal by preference:
:-
An elongated ring or frame as shown at F 1 is hinged or jointed to a prong or
plate P1; the connection is made by turning a piece partly cut out of the plate over
the edge of the ring as shown at C 2, in such a manner as to permit free movement of
the ring within the groove so formed upon the plate.
To allow the garment or other material to be inserted within the Clip the plate P is
turned backwards and the material is then placed between the plate and ring. The
plate is then moved upward or forward in order to carry a portion of the material
within or through the frame, which frame (being then turned upon its hinge) grips
the material therein against the plate as shown at 4.
The movement is reversed to release the material.
Figures 2 and 3 show the Clip open and closed respectively; ordinary means of
attachment to other parts of the Suspender are-employed. As a buckle attached to a
length of webbing the appliance is shown at fig. 5.
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

Improvements in or relating to the Method of Preparing Moulds for the Casting of Pipes and other Objects.
Year: 1888

page_text: Improvements in or relating to the Method of Preparing Moulds
for the Casting of Pipes and other Objects.
I KARL THIEN of No. 30 Senatorska in the city of Warsaw, Russia, 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:-
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive means of
drawing out the firmly packed model from the mould.
In moulding pipes of large diameter as well as cylindrical and other castings which
are moulded upright, and for which hollow, iron or metal patterns or models are used,
the chief difficulty consists in removing the firmly packed model from the sand.
In order to overcome this, the models were not made quite straight but somewhat
conical, but as this could be only relatively very slight, it often happened that the
mould, which takes a long time to prepare, was damaged or made entirely useless by
drawing out the model.
My improvement consists in heating or warming the firmly packed hollow iron or
metal model which causes an expansion of the same.
When the model has been allowed to cool and contract, sufficient space is formed
between mould and model to allow the model to be drawn out of the mould without
damaging the latter.
The drying stoves, used in foundries for drying or baking the moulds or cores,
may be used for warming the model, so that the sand mould is dried at the same time
as the model is warmed and consequently no time is wasted.
Owing to expansion of the model, the sand moulds become firmer and cleaner and
the casting consequently smoother, which is of great importance.
The cooling of the warmed model may be attained by a current of cool air which is
passed through the hollow model or in any other convenient manner.

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 :-
In the preparation of moulds for the casting of pipes and other objects, the process
consisting in warming the iron or metal model while in the mould or forming the 5
mould upon a warmed model, allowing the model to cool, or cooling same by currents
of cold air or other fluids and removing the model, when cool, from the moulds.

Improvements in Holders or Clips for Picture or other Frames.
I CHARLES MCLAREN WIGNEY of 57 Portland Crescent, Leeds, 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:
This invention relates to holders or clips for firmly securing two or more pictures or:
other frames so that the same may readily be carried or shipped without the opposite
faces coming in contact.
The invention is particularly well adapted for use in the transportation of
wet or dry paintings while on the stretchers, but may also be used on other
frames.
In order that my invention may be fully understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings which form part of this specification and in which :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of two frames when held by my improved holder
or clip.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are top views showing different forins of slots in the plate,
while in Fig. 4 is indicated by dotted lines a frame when being removed from the
plate.
To the edge of one frame is secured by tacks screws or other suitable devices a a a a
a stiff plate A (preferably of metal as being both light and strong) the other edge of
which is provided with slots or cuts bb adapted to engage with pins or projections B B
placed upon a second frame as shown so that two or more frames connected by two or
more plates A (see Fig. 2) may be readily transported from place to place without
coming into immediate contact.
It will be evident that the plates may be held in various ways to the frame and that
after two frames are placed in position pins or screws B may be caused to bind said
plate.
In Fig. 1 the plate is shown with an ordinary L opening. In Fig. 3 with a Z
opening. In Fig. 4 the opening is curved somewhat like a slightly straightened S
and this form I judge by experiment will be efficacious.

I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in
the County of Lancaster and 323, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, 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
following statement :-
The objects of this invention is to make use of tickets of all sorts such as used for
railway, omnibus, pleasure resorts, etcetera, for bringing under the notice of those who
use them advertisements, directions, or any other objects, such as samples of cloth,
etcetera.
To attain this object the following has been contrived.
From a strong sheet of paper, pieces are cut out of the form which is represented in
the accompanying drawing.
Referring first to Figure 1.
This piece must be made so that parts 1 and 4 shall have exactly the size which the
completed ticket is to present. Parts 2 and 3 must, as the drawing indicates, be of
the same or nearly the same height as part 1, and of less than half the width. This
piece being cut out, parts 2 and 3 are folded back on to part 1, as in Figure 2. The
backs are then painted with a suitable gum. Part 4 is then folded back on to the
gummed parts 2 and 3, taking care to press it, in order to insure adhesion, they are
then left to dry, (Figure 3).
A ticket is thus obtained of required dimensions but enclosing a pocket in which an
advertisement paper or other object can be placed.
In order to facilitate the taking out of the object contained, parts 1 and 4 are cut
out or recessed at a in order to permit the nail or finger to take hold of the object.

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
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A railway, omnibus or other ticket or check having a pocket for holding
and bringing before the notice of the holder, advertisements, samples, and other
objects, substantially as described.
2. The railway, omnibus or other tickets or checks, substantially as herein described
and shown.

JAMES MARTIN BROWN 183 Dalmarnock Road Bridgeton Glasgow Cabinetmaker
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In chair form it resembles the common camp chairs used at all sea coast towns.
But in Perambulator form it is admirably adapted for the easy and safe conveyance
of childron, from the simplicity of its construction it folds up and occupies so little
space that it can be easily conveyed below any Tramway or Railway Seat. It consists
of four principal parts, back, arins, tray, and wheels; the back is made of two shaped
sides fastened at about 11" from each other by wooden stays similar to a camp chair,
that is eleven inches broad, which forms back of chair and perambulator handle, and
on which fore wheels of perambulator are fastened, Arms make a similar frame, acting
as arms of chair, and on which hind wheels are fastened. Tray is for toys &c. and
keeps child from falling either way. Wheels make the chair a perambulator.

page_text: JAMES MARTIN BROWN, 183 Dalmarnock Road. Bridgeton, Glasgow, Cabinet
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 :—
It consists of two wooden frames A & B of desired width, shaped so as to omboson
each other as much as possible when folded up. Frame A is inside frame B, and
fastened to it at C, by a bolt, so as to allow movement for folding. Tray D is attachod
to frame A, tray forming arms of chair, safety rail, and tray for toys, (when made for
children). Footboard E is connected so as to move closely to frame B, (on which it
is hung) when folded. On bottom ends of frames light wheels H aro fastened, on top 1
end of A is handle thereby making chair a suitable perambulator. At joint (, on
frames A&B small pieces of metal F are fixed, projecting so as to come in contact
when the chair is opened, thereby bearing the strain which would otherwise come ou
seat G, which is a pliable material. When folded up tray D is swung over to back
of frame A.
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) A handy, light, and strong Combined Camp Chair, and Perambulator suitable
for children, and well adapted for travelling, owing to lightness, (weight about 9 lbs.),
and its simplicity in folding up, in which position it requires little space.
(2.) The novelty of Irons F, and their usefulness, which takes strain off seat
(of chair) and in perambulator thereby adding to comfort of Child when porambulator
is in motion.

will be found almost as perfect as when they leave the rifle. Figs. 1, 2 & 3 of the
drawing left with the provisional specification are respectively the elevation, section
and plan of the receiver.
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

Improvements in Dentists' Vulcanizers.
I WILLIAM COTTON HARTLEY of 44 Beal Lane, Shaw, near Oldham, Lancashire,
Dentist do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
The object of this invention is to provide a quick method of securing the covers on
and removing the covers from Dentists Vulcanizers and also to compress the flasks
contained within the Vulcanizer after the cover is closed.
Sheet 1. shows a front elevation of the Vulcanizer, with the body, cover, and
sliding spindle drawn in section.
Sheet 2. shows a side view of the Vulcanizer, and the like letters and figures refer
to the same parts in. both sheets 1. and 2.
The body A. and the cover B. of the Vulcanizer are cast of " gun metal" and are
fitted together with lead packing at C. in the usual manner.
The cover B. is provided with a stuffing box D). through which the sliding spindle E.
passes.
The wrought iron link or handle F. is pivoted at F 1. and F 2. to the body A. and
carries the screws G and G 1. which secure the cover B. to the body A. The link or
handle F. also carries the compressing screw H. which through the sliding spindle E.
and the washer E 1 compresses the Flasks I. contained within the Vulcanizer.
J. is a strip of copper, about one inch wide, which passes under the Flasks I. and
is used to lift then into and out of the Vulcanizer. The pipes K. and L. shown
broken off are used for the usual safety valve and steam gauge, which are not shown
in the drawings.
The action is as follows:-When the cover B. is removed the link or handle F. is
thrown back as shown by the dotted outline in sheet 2, the Flasks I. are then put in
and the cover B. on the Vulcanizer, the link or handle F. is now brought to its
perpendicular position and the screws G. and G 1 screwed down to secure the cover B,
the compressing screw H. is also screwed down partly compressing the Flasks I.
After the pressure of the steam within the Vulcanizer has risen to from twenty-fivo

page_text: to, thirty pounds. per square inch then the compressing screw H. is farther screwed
down and this finally compresses all the Flasks I. and presses the rubber therein into
the moulds
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. The combination of the screws G. and G 1 with the compressing screw H. and
link or handle F. so that, the strain of keeping on the cover B. and compressing the
Flasks 1. shall be resisted by the link or handle F. substantially as and for the purpose
described and shown in the accompaning drawings.
2. The sliding spindle E. in combination with the compressing screw H. as and
for the purpose described and shown on the accompaning drawings.
