Improvements in Adjustable Wrenches or Spanners.
I, ALFRED HENRY BISHOP, of 47 Carpenter Road, Lozells, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Machinist do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in adjustable wrenches or spanners,
by which I obtain an article which is much more reliable in use and which cannot
get out of order; the cost of which is not materially increased over other similar
adjustable wrenches or spanners.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1, is a side elevation of one of my spanners.
Figure 2, is a longitudinal section through Figure 1.
Figure 3, is a cross section on line 1-2, and
Figure 4, is a cross section on line 3-4.
I form my wrench of two parts A and B which are connected together as shown,
the tail a' of the piece A passing through the socket b' in such a manner that
upon the nut being inserted with the jaws a' and 62 of the wrench the whole of the
strain is brought to bear on the part B at 63 and 6 which by their particular
positions are the best able to resist the leverage. The screw D upon which is the
nut E for adjusting the wrench is inserted after the two parts A and B have been
put together the end d¹ being secured to the arm 65 of the part B the other
end 6 being continued as a rod which enters the part A so that it is impossible for
the two parts to become detached only by removing the screw D from the part B
to which it is secured and thus one part cannot be lost by becoming detached from
the other.
Although the arrangement shown forms a very compact and handy wrench I
may vary the particular shape of the various parts to suit other requirements so
long as retain the arrangement by which the strain is received by the particular
parts described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
improvements and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is
The improvements in adjustable wrenches and spanners by which the strain is
distributed substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shown upon
the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in the Construction of Biscuit Tins and the like.
I, ROBERT FALCONER, Lower Gilmore Place, Edinburgh, in the County of
Midlothian, North Britain, Tin Plate Worker, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of biscuit tins and
the like, and has for its object to put on the bottoms of biscuit tins, more especially,
more firmly. In accordance with my invention I so stamp out the bottom piece of
tin so as to produce a double edging round it that is to say in addition to the
ordinary edge or flange which grips round the outer edge of the sides of the box
and is soldered to the box, I make another edging by a fold of the bottom tin,
which grips round the inner edge of the sides of the box, in such a manner that
the sides of the box are gripped between two edges or flanges and in order to
assist in keeping the bottom firmly on, the flange may be soldered to the sides of
the box.
The said arrangement prevents the sides of the box collapsing, by reason of the.
inner flange of the bottom piece acting as a stiffener.
The drawing illustrates an enlarged section through a portion of a biscuit tin.
A is the side of the box. B is the bottom of the box. C is the inner fold of the
bottom, which acts as a stiffener to the sides of the box. D is the ordinary flange
which grips round the outside of the box. The drawing shows the parts before
they are pressed together. Before stamping out the bottom plate, a square
portion should be cut out from each corner.
I may employ any suitable die or angle bender for the purpose of striking up
the inner or doubled up edging on the bottom tin and also the outer edging or
flange and also any suitable press for the purpose of clinching up the said two
edges of the bottom plate, with the edge of the box sides between them.
prefer to give the bottom of the box a slight taper outwards which acts as a
check to prevent the bottom plate springing off when heat is required for soldering.
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 :-
Constructing the bottom plates of biscuit tins and the like with an inner fold C
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.

described, from specially made or other tough felt whereby they are rendered very
pleasant to the touch, the vibration of the handle bar is somewhat absorbed and a
very firm grip by the rider is obtained; moreover the felt absorbs the perspiration
froin the hands.
I make the said handles from blocks of felt which are turned and bored in a
lathe to the required shape and size. The said handles are made tubular of a size
inside to fit tightly upon the ends of the handle bar and the handles are either
made with both ends open or with one end closed. The outside of the handle may
either be plain, or grooved longitudinally or otherwise, so as to improve the grip
and allow air to circulate between the rider's hand and the handle and thus assist
in keeping the hands cool. For the same purposes the handles may be perforated
if desired.

I, FRANZ LUDWIG VON HIRSCH, Merchant, of 66 Grafenbergerstrasse,
Düsseldorf, in the German Empire, 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 has for its object, to provide a bottle stopper with a device for
discharging drop by drop the liquid contained in the bottle.
In the accompanying drawing;
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a bottle and a stopper embodying my invention,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the stopper and bottle neck,
Fig. 3 is a side view showing the device in operation.
The stopper a of the bottle is perforated parallel to its axis, by two tubes c and d
of unequal length, the latter reaching into the bottle further than the former.
These tubes may be alike or different as regards their diameter or bore.
If the bottle is tilted, so as to turn the neck downward, the depth of liquid
pressing on the extremity of the shorter tube is greater, than that on the longer
tube.
Consequently, air will enter through the longer tube, and liquid escape through
the shorter tube.
The tubes are so narrow, that the liquid can only escape in drops, and the stopper
has preferably a cavity a', into which fits a plug k of cork or other material,
in order to protect the mouths of the tubes and prevent the accidental escape
of liquid. The wall of this cavity may have a groove leading from the mouth of
the discharge tube c to the edge of the stopper, so as to guide the drops escaping
from the tube.
Instead of a cork k, a screw-cap fitting over the stopper a may be used, or each
tube c and d may be closed by a separate plug.
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 stopper provided with a pair of narrow tubes passing through the same, one
tube being longer (on the inside of the stopper) than the other and serving for the
admission of air, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A combined stopper and drop measure or discharge regulator, constructed as
described and illustrated by the drawings.

Improved Toothed Rail applicable for Inclined Railways.
A communication by COUNT JOSÉ TELFENER, of Villa Ada, vid Salaria, Rome,
in the Kingdom of Italy.
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, & 323 High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 toothed rail for use in mountain railways in
order to enable steep inclines to be surmounted.
This rail is formed of two L irons, connected by bolts; between these Lirons,
one or more plates may be placed according to the resistance required for the
track.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings:
Figure is a side view of the toothed rail.
Figure 2 is a transverse section of a rail formed of two ✓ irons with a single
intermediate plate.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of a rail formed of two L irons between which
two plates are placed.
It is needless to state that the drawings filed herewith only show examples of rails
formed according to this invention; the number of plates may be varied without
departing from the spirit of the invention.
The teeth a are cut out in the vertical sides of the irons b, and in the plates c
when such are employed. The bolts or rivets d serve to fasten firmly together the
parts which form the rail.
This rail is arranged in the centre of the track whatever may be the gauge of
the ordinary rails situated on each side of it. On the same railway, the toothed
rail may vary in width, corresponding to the variations in the incline and conse-
quently to the different resistances required: this is very easily obtained by inserting
a suitable number of plates c between the L irons.
The horizontal sides of the L irons, which form the base of the toothed rail, are
perforated with holes to enable the rail to be fixed by means of spikes or screws
on to the ordinary wooden or metal sleepers which support the ordinary rails on
both sides.
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 :-
A toothed rail composed of two L irons between which one or more plates may
be placed, the whole being connected by means of rivets or bolts, substantially as
described.

I, JOHN JONAS of 38 Lime Street, in the City of London, 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 apparatus has two comb like blades each with two or more teeth and
provided with instruments which hold the shoots or leaves that have been cut by
closing the teeth on each other until the teeth are allowed to separate again.
Figure 1 is a plan and Figure 2 a side view of the apparatus.
Figure 3 is a section on the line X X (Figures 1 and 2) and
Figure 4 is a similar section with the teeth shut together.
Figure 5 shews two of the teeth of the under comb to a larger scale.
A is the lower comb and B the upper, these are pivotted together at C. D is a
handle fixed to the blade A and E is a second handle pivotted to it at F. The
latter handle is prolonged beyond its pivot and its end is forked to embrace a pin G
fixed to the comb B. H are interlocking springs tending to force the handles
apart. Jare pushers fixed on slotted plates J' working on pins K fixed to the
teeth of the coinb A. These pushers have springs L fixed to them, the left hand
one bearing against a plate M and the others against the teeth of the comb B.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-It is thrust into the tree at a proper
distance from the ends of the shoots to be cut whilst the combs are in the position
shown at Figures 1 and 3 the shoots coming between the teeth. The handles are
then pressed together which brings the combs into the position shown at Figure 4
thereby cutting off the shoots and holding them between the right hand sides of
the pushers and the left hand sides of the teeth of the upper comb B, the left hand
spring being compressed whilst the others expand. The apparatus is then held
over a receptacle and the handles are allowed to separate so that the combs return
to the position shown at Figures 1 and 3. The result is that the left hand spring L
expands whilst the others are compressed by the right hand sides of the teeth of
the comb B coming against them. In this manner all the pushers are carried to
the right and the cut shoots are thrust off the apparatus and fall into the
receptacle.
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 two combs each having two or more teeth with instruments
for holding the cut shoots or leaves against the teeth of one of the combs
substantially as described.
2. The combination of two combs each having two or more teeth with sliders
mounted upon the teeth of one of the combs and bearing against the sides of the
teeth of the other comb substantially as described.
3. Apparatus substantially as described and shown in the drawings.

An Improved Governor for Driving Mechanism.
I, PAUL LOCHMANN of Gohlis-Leipzig 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 a governor for regulating the speed of driving
mechanism. The object of the invention is to regulate such mechanism
automatically by means of spring air vanes or flyers which present a larger or
smaller surface to the pressure of the air according as the speed of the mechanism
to be regulated, increases or decreases.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the apparatus, the section being taken through
line A-B of Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same.
a is the driving mechanism to be regulated. 6 the governor spindle carried in
bearings and driven by the driving mechanism a. c, c, are arms fixed on
spindle 6 by means of boss d to which arms spring vanes e, e', are fixed so as to be
diametrically opposite each other. These latter are made of a springing or yielding
material and are curved or bent round at their free ends.
The driving mechanism being set in motion, the spindle 6 is driven round and
with it spring vanes e, e¹. When the speed of the driving mechanism increases the
velocity of the spring-vanes will also increase and by reason of the centrifugal
force the resistance of the springs at the free ends of the vanes will be overcome
causing these to extend more or less in the direction (shewn in dotted line in
Fig. 1) of the radius of the circle which they describe, thus the surface of the
vanes e, e', exposed to the pressure of the air is increased as also is the resistance
to their rotation so that the speed of the driving mechanism is lessened and the
vanes return to their original curved or bent form. The arms c, c', prevent the
vanes from turning too far backwards when the speed of the driving mechanism is
very fast.
In this way the speed of the driving mechanism is automatically regulated and
kept steady.
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 :-
A governor for driving mechanism consisting of a spindle carrying spring vanes
or flyers which when in a state of rest have a curved or bent form at their free
ends to form springs, and when in motion have their spring resistance overcome
by centrifugal force until they open out into a flat surface whereupon the vane
surface exposed to the pressure of the air and therewith the resistance to their
rotation is increased so as to regulate the speed of the driving mechanism,
substantially as described and shewn.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Adjustable Cigar Tray for Pianofortes.
I, HARRY LEAVIS, of 38, Mill Road, Cambridge, 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 receptacle for cigars which can be
adjusted to pianofortes; so that if a smoker, whilst sitting at the pianoforte,
desires to put his cigar aside for a moment, he may do so without risk of injuring
the keys or other parts of the instrument by burning.
The invention consists of a tray or pan made of brass or other metal or non-
combustible material, having two slotted holes for fixing it to the pianoforte. This
is effected by placing two small screws in the case of the pianoforte (preferably at
the inside of the cheek at either end of the keyboard) over the heads of which the
slotted holes pass. This method of fixing allows of the tray being easily removed
for cleaning. To the back of the tray, that is, that part of it which touches the
pianoforte, a piece of cloth is attached to protect the polish of the pianoforte from
injury, and to prevent jarring.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood reference is had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings; in which
Fig. 1. is a front view of the cigar tray.

c is the cloth attached to the back.
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 cigar receptacle which can be adjusted to pianofortes, made of brass or other
metal or non-combustible material, having cloth attached to that part which touches
the pianoforte, and two slotted holes for fixing it by means of screws placed in the
case of the pianoforte. The whole constructed substantially as described and for
the purposes specified.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Hollow Ingots and in Cores
used therein.
I, JOSEPH ELTON BOTT of Brinnington Hall, Stockport in the County of
Chester, 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:-
I use thin metal tubes nickel plated on their exterior and of suitable length
and diameter to produce a hollow ingot of the size required by casting metal
around the exterior of the same. I fill such thin nickel plated tube with loose
sand or other refractory material thereby forming a collapsible core which I place
in the centre of a mould of diameter to produce the required exterior diameter
of the ingot.
I then pour metal into the mould around the thin nickel plated tube, the molten
metal becomes fused to the thin core tube and on contraction the loose packing of
sand or other refractory material is crushed.
The object of using a nickel plated tube in the manner above described is to
prevent the blistering of the interior surface of the iron or steel ingot and thus
avoid the production of gases and consequent unsoundness of the resultant ingot.
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. The manufacture of hollow ingots by casting metal around cores consisting
of thin metal tubes nickel plated on their exterior and filled with loose sand or
other refractory material substantially as herein described and for the purpose
stated.
2. In the manufacture of hollow ingots the employment of cores consisting of
thin nickel plated tubes filled with loose sand or other refractory material substan-
tially as herein described and for the purpose stated.

A communication by WILLIAM BAYNUM BRITTINGHAM, of 269, West Twenty-
Third Street, New York, in the County and State of New York, United States
of America.
1, 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:-
This invention consists in the discovery that the salts of tungstic acid with the
alkalies have powerful detergent properties.
My correspondent has discovered that the salts, or tungstates which tungstic
acid forms with the alkalics, especially the tungstates of soda and potassa, are very
powerful detergents, and that they are at the same time free from the injurious
effects of strong alkalies when used for washing purposes.
He finds that, by adding tungstate of soda to common soap (preferably three
drachms of tungstate of soda to each pound of soap, though this proportion may be
varied at pleasure) the detergent efficiency of the soap is materially increased and
it is made very soft to the skin.
In making yellow or rosin soap, the percentage of rosin can be carried very high
without impairing the quality of the soap. This class of soap made with ninety
pounds of rosin to one hundred pounds of grease and about three hundred drachms
of tungstate of soda is soft and pleasant to the skin, is nearly twice as efficient,
weight for weight, as any soap of this class which my correspondent has been able
to procure, and gives good results with cold water, while soap made in the ordinary
manner requires boiling water to give good results.
The tungstate may be incorporated in the soap at any time. It is, however,
preferable to add it while the soap is still soft, in the process of manufacture, and
mix it thoroughly through the mass.
The proportion of tungstate may be varied at pleasure, that above named being
merely one which gives good results.
"
The word " soap is used to designate all washing compounds, by whatever
name known.
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
A detergent compound containing a tungstate of an alkali, substantially as
described.

Purposes.
WALTER WHEELER Ironfounder Railway Foundry Langley near Birmingham,
trading as John Wheeler & Son at above address do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in water waste preventing cisterns for flushing purposes consisting
of a cistern or tank as annexed drawings Figs. 1-2-3 with two walls or partitions,
cast or fastened in as A in Figs. 1-2-3 forming a chamber B suspended in cistern
or tank by connection with sides of same, & with a water-way beneath the chamber
as C. The chamber having a pipe standing up the centre as D; into which is
placed a stand pipe fastened to the bottom of cistern or tank. Over this stand
pipe is placed a dome or bell E with a flange on bottom corresponding with
chamber B.
The action of this cistern or tank is that on releasing the lever F after pulling
same, the water is forced by the plunger over the stand pipe, thus charging the
syphon, formed by the plunger E & pipe D & emptying the cistern.
My claim is in respect of the cistern or tank with chamber B; & water-way C
arranged so as to drain the cistern or tank aforesaid.

I, CHARLES EDWARD LACY HULBERT, of 1 Holyrood Place, Glasgow in the
County of Lanark, North Britain, 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 a golf ball cleaner.
As shown in plan Figure 1 and section elevation Figure 2, I secure a disc of
sponge a within a saucer shaped receptacle b. The said receptacle has an inturned
lip b to retain the sponge within it. By reason also of the shape of the receptacle
and the method by which the sponge is retained, the water used for damping the
sponge is not liable to drip out of the receptacle when it is carried in the pocket.
The receptacle may be made of metal, or of india rubber, or of any other material.
When of india rubber I prefer to form the inside of the lip with a bead b'.
In lieu of a sponge I may employ any other material capable of absorbing and
retaining water.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The golf ball cleaner substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described
