Improvements in and connected with Metallic Packings for Piston
Rods and Valve Spindles of Steam Engines.
I, THOMAS JENKINSON, Mechanical Engineer, of 17, Windle Street, St. Helens, in
the County of Lancaster, 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 improvements in metallic packings for piston rods
and valve spindles, and consists of two conical bushes abutting one another on the
edges of least diameter, with the taper of each set opposite to each other and thus
securing two wedge like actions in opposite directions, for operating and setting up
the packing rings against the piston rods or valve spindles as the packing rings
wear, by means of adjusting set screws at the front of the outer casing, thus
dispensing with springs of any sort for pressing and keeping up the packing rings
against the piston rods or valve spindles.
The accompanying drawing shows how the object of this invention is attained.
The outer cast iron casing is in two parts A and B bolted together as shewn in
drawing and secured by the inner or lower half to the stuffing box of the cylinder
cover of the cylinder by the gland studs. The lower part of this casing is flanged
inwards and faced internally for a gun metal sliding bush ring C, which latter
forms the first member of the packing. Two opposite conical steel bushes D, D,
form the taper seats for setting up magnolia or babbit metal packing rings E, E, each
in two parts and provided with suitable prids for preventing the packing rings
working round. A gun metal sliding bush ring F, is placed on the top of the packing
rings and the whole operated upon through the gun metal follower G by means of
adjusting set screws H. Under the ends of the set screws H, a gun metal ring I is
placed for the ends of the adjusting set screws to press against. Between this ring
and the follower G is placed a round of fibrous packing. A cast iron bush J is
provided for filling up the stuffing box or gland chamber and held in position by the
lower half of the outer casing of the metallic packing.
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 combination of two opposite conical bushes D, D, for pressing the packing
rings against the piston rods or valve spindles substantially as described and shewn
on the drawing.
2nd. The combination of the conical bushes DD: the sliding bushes C F: the
follower ring G: the set screws H and the packing rings E E substantially as
described and shewn on the drawing.

Improvements in Boilers used for Washing Purposes.
I, WILHELM LEDE,, of Ludenstrasse, Dusseldorf, in the Empire of Germany,
Master Locksmith, 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 invention forming the subject matter of this application is
to obtain a more rational utilization of the fuel used in washing boilers, and in a
simple manner; in the case of washing boilers hitherto in use, the boiler being
so placed on or in the furnace, that at the most, one third of the washing boiler
only, is exposed to the fire gases.
The annexed drawing shews the improvement in cross section.
On a bottom plate b, supported by feet a, the washing boiler base or pedestal
rests; and it terminates at the upper end in Tee-irons d, which are lined all
round with a layer of fire-proof material, so that neither smoke nor heat can
escape at the upper edge. This is an advantage which is of particular importance,
as the heat which otherwise escapes only is troublesome; whereas by the special
construction, and in consequence of the tight joint, this heat is utilized for the
washing, which effects a saving in fuel.
At the bottom of the frame, the fire box f is provided with a grate y in the
usual manner, and arranged in such a manner that it can be got at by means of
a door disposed in the frame wall of the frame c. The frame or base is lined,
starting from the fire-box f, to the right and left, with masonry of fire-proof
material, or similar substances. On the Tee-irons d, or rather on the material
lining these Tee-irons, rests the flanged edge i of the washing boiler k. The
washing boiler k is closed in the customary manner by means of the lid l. The
joint between the washing boiler and the frame is fire and smoke proof.
The fire gases rising from the fuel on the grate g, not only strike the bottom
of the washing boiler k, but also play all round the washing boiler in all directions,
and are thereupon carried away through a discharge pipe or flue, which it is best
to arrange at the back of the boiler.
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:-
1. The herein described improved washing boiler, namely, a boiler comprising
a metal frame holding or containing within it fire brick or similar material, and
a fire-place below, and a water vessel, with its upper edge resting upon the upper
edge of the frame, with a space for the heat around, substantially, the whole of
the vessel; substantially as described.
2. The washing boiler having its parts arranged and constructed particularly
as shewn in and set forth with reference to the drawings.

Operator and Compositor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A reflector to be fixed to the "copy-holder" or other parts of the machine to
throw a light into the assembly on to assembled matrices, thereby enabling the
same to be read with ease. The material for reflection purposes is either made
of silvered sheet or plate glass, or fluted reflector glass, polished tin, nickel plate,
or other reflecting material or composition, and is fastened or fixed to the copy-
holder or other parts of the machine by means of clips, screws, or other methods.

My invention relates to improvements in linotype machines, and has for its
object the means for enabling the operator to more easily read his composed lines
of matrices, or in the process of assembling, and so prevent or correct any errors
in the lines before sending the same to the casting-box.
To accomplish this I employ a reflector of the desired length and breadth, and
of any material of a reflecting nature, and which throws a reflection of either
natural or artificial light direct into the matrice-assembly upon the lettering of
the matrices. By this means the operator may read his matrices plainly whilst
composing the same.
I do not comprise in my invention any special method for fixing my reflector
to the machine, which may be accomplished by means of a clip, screw, wire rod,
or any method desirable to obtain the desired focus, or attachment, according to
circumstances.

whereby an operator is enabled to read. plainly his matrices in course of com-
position, or when a line is complete, and by which means he may detect errors
easily before the line is delivered to the casting-box, substantially as herein
described..
(2). In a reflector for linotype composing machines, of any material of a reflect-
ing nature; and of any desired length and breadth, and by any means of attach-
ment necessary, substantially as herein described.

Manufacturers, Dudbridge, Stroud, Gloucestershire, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The steps consist of a light ladder to which the back stay is pivoted or hinged
at the top. On the rungs of this ladder wide treads are hinged in the front part
of the said treads. The back part of the treads are all connected together by a
strip of wood or metal at each side, so hinged that the treads turn freely up or
down simultaneously. These strips, which connect and support the back part of
the treads, are connected, by means of arms or rods, to the back stay. So that
when the back stay is closed it pushes up the strips supporting the back of the
treads and consequently closes the treads which are tilted up edgeways.

Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Cardboard and like
Boxes or Cases and to Apparatus therefor.
I, CHARLES JUNGE, of Lincoln Chambers, 75, Chancery Lane, London, W.C.,
Consulting 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 the manufacture of cardboard and like boxes or cases
and to apparatus therefor, comprising a machine for bending the lateral parts of
such boxes to a round or hollow shape. This machine enables the stamped blank
for a cardboard and like box to be bent round at the sides in such a manner that
sharp angular edges at the long sides of the box will be entirely obviated, and
that in lieu thereof perfectly rounded, semicircular sides are formed, such as are
desirable for many purposes, preferably for cheap cigar and cigarette cases and for
other pocket and case-like receptacles.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of the improved machine, the die being
turned down,
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 a front view wherein the handle of the die is broken away.
Figure 4 is a plan showing the blank of a cardboard box prior to the bending.
Figure 5 represents a side view of a blank after the rounding has taken place.
Fig. 6 is a set up box.
Upon the frame or under part a bears the table 6 on which the two slides c c¹
are arranged to move, such slides having each one half d or d¹ of a matrice secured
to them. This movement of the halves of the matrice relatively to each other,
whereby the bending or rounding of the box is effected takes place by the aid of
crank discs or wheels B, which are fixed upon the shaft A on the two sides of the
machine, being adapted to be moved to the right or left by means of the lever H
and transmitting their movement to the slides through the medium of the con-
necting rods k, thereby causing the two halves of the matrice to move towards or
away from one another.
In the middle of the table is supported the die e fitted to be turned up and
down on the hinge / between the separated halves d d of the matrice, and furnished
with a handle g. On this die is fixed a tube f, shown semi-circular in Figure 3,
within which a pointed flame entering at m impinges against the die underneath
and heats the same.
2
At its other end terminating in a rod, the die is furnished with an aperture ɔr
slot h with which a guide pin i engages during the downward movement of said
die, in order to prevent a lateral deviation of the same and to ensure its proper
position during the pressing operation.
Each of the two halves of the matrice may consist of several parts, as indicated

ROBERT WILLIAM MCDONALD, 3, Lambeth Hill, London, E.C., Manufacturer
of Sanitary Appliances, 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 apply to the overflow and outlet of lavatory basins. I
make the overflow terminate at its widest part with a flange A to which the
pipe B is attached by bolts and nuts C and washer D as shewn in the drawing
or it may be attached to a fitting joined in a similar manner to the earthen-
ware. The pipe being easily detachable and the overflow opening large it can
be readily cleaned.
Round the outlet hole I make holes through the bottom of the basin to take
screws E. I insert a shallow plug and washer of as large a diameter as the
hole will allow with a loose grid F.
The outlet pipe G is joined up to the basin by means of screws passing
through the holes round the outlet-held in. their places by nuts and washer H
as shewn in the drawing.
A ring of earthenware (I) of any plain or ornamental character that may be
suitable is cemented over the flange of plug and washer and hides the joint of
the brass with the basin. By this means I give a larger outlet than usual and
without the disfigurement that is usually caused by the fitting of the plug and
washer.
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:-
The terminating of the overflow chamber at its widest point in a flange to
which is easily attached or detached the overflow pipe.
The fitting of the plug and washer with earthenware rosette into the basin
substantially as described and shewn in the drawing.

centre one.
CHARLES BENNETT, 161, Clayton Terrace, Fort Street, South Shields, 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:-
A piece of round cast steel about 3 inches long and made to any required
diameter, having 5 prongs, more or less, on one end, viz.-one prong central, and
four, more or less around the central one, according to the diameter of the steel.
The central prong D Fig. 2 to be conical pointed, and a veed groove turned out,
leaving an outer substance, to be made into outside prongs C Fig. 1 by making
gaps in it, equal in number and about the width of the prongs. (If no gaps be
made in this outer substance, it remains a complete circle and marks one also.)
A bevel turned on the outside of this outer substance gives support to the prongs
of the centre punch. (This bevel could be taken off sufficiently in requiring the
punch for holes to be drilled suitable for screw tapping.)
In the case of holes of a large diameter, an intermediate ridge would be required
to mark an inner circle, for the true drilling of the hole.
How to Use it in Marking Duplicate Holes.-The manner of using the centre
punch, is by placing it in the hole or holes to be duplicated, and by one blow on
the punch it pops or defines the true centre and likewise inscribes a circle equal
in diameter to the diameter of the bolt.
How to Use it for a Drill Gauge.-By calliping the outside diameter of the centre
punch it gives the size of the drill required for drilling the holes.

Improvements in Lace and other Trimmings.
I, PHILIPP SCHWARZ, of II, Zieglergasse, Vienna VII, in the Empire of Austria,
Lace 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:
According to the present invention, perforated or imperforate lace, passementerie
or other trimming is woven on hand or Jacquard-looms or on bar-looms or other
ribbon-looms, and on this lace or trimming are sewn applied pieces cut out by
hand or stamped out by means of cutting moulds from any suitable material,
preferably velvet, silk, leather or gold materials.
This work is similar to that by means of which curtains or hangings, are pro-
vided with applied pieces, it is however, in itself an entirely new industrial pro-
duct which can be further suitably ornamented or decorated by hemming or sewing
at the edges of the trimming or along the edges of the applied pieces or by means
of suitable intermediate ornaments, either in the applied pieces, or in the base
thereof.
The material forming this additional decoration can be selected as desired; for
this purpose pearls, strings of pearls, twisted or figured cords, bullion, gimp,
buttons, and the like can be advantageously employed. Cords or bullion can be
very advantageously employed for making ornamental nets over certain parts of
the applied pieces or of the base.
With perforated woven trimmings it is advantageous to arrange the applied
articles between the perforations or interruptions, that is to say, on the entire
parts of the trimmings. The result is very effective when the perforations are
covered or stretched over with nets of wire, gimp, cords or bullion. Trimmings
with applied pieces of this kind can be advantageously employed in all cases where
embroidery is to be replaced by a less expensive but yet elegant product, such for
example, as upholstered articles of furniture, curtains or hangings, lambrequins,
insertion pieces, etc.
The subject of the invention is illustrated by way of example, in the accompany-
ing drawing, in which Figure 1 shows at a an entire or imperforate ribbon, and
Figure 2 a ribbon perforated at b; c are the sewn-on applied pieces, e are hems
or other ornamental cords and the like; and da net stretched over the
perforation b.
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:-

Apparatus for Artificially Illuminating Objects for Photographic
Purposes.
I, GUSTAVE BOUILLAUD, of 35, Rue Victor Hugo, Macon, Saone-et-Loire, France,
Photographer, 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 apparatus for artificially illuminating objects for photo-
graphic purposes, and has for its object to utilise all kinds of artificial light of
sufficient photographic power, amongst others magnesium, aluminium, electric
arc, &c., for obtaining plastic and perfectly modelled photographic proofs, in strict
conformity with the rules of drawing from the technical point of view and as
regards the due arrangement and proportion of light and shade.
In the accompanying drawings Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively front and side
elevations of the illuminating apparatus and Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively vertical
section and plan of same. Figs. 5 and 6 are perspective views 'showing respectively
an arched and an oblique shaped front form of the apparatus.
The apparatus possesses the following features;
1. It is moveable around an axis, and is 'thus able to direct or concentrate the
rays and to vary their effect as may be desired.
2. Owing to the internal arrangement of the apparatus, the smoke and other
matters resulting from the combustion of the illuminating substances, are carried
off immediately by the chimney.
3. The front is glazed and of roughened glass, in the form shown in Fig. 5 or
Fig. 6, A or B, and is inclined in such a manner that it forces the luminous rays
to take a predetermined direction in order to give to the head of the object to be
illuminated the desired alto relievo effect.
"6
4. The top C, Figs. 1, 5 and 6, is glazed and is of transparent or polished glass
and thus powerfully illuminates the white painted ceiling of the room where the
operating" is carried on and helps to suitably spread and diffuse the light.
The interior of the apparatus is painted white, and varnished, in order to give
the reflected light its maximum intensity.
5. The magnesium or aluminium charges or the electric arc or arcs or other
artificial lights are placed in the interior of at a predetermined height according to
the effect to be obtained and the apparatus for the convenience of manipulation is
provided with a door or doors 1) on each side, see Figs. 2, 4, 5, 6. An arched or
oblique reflector F, see Fig. 3, may be arranged in the interior, behind the lamps.
6. In connection with the use of magnesium the interior of the apparatus is
supplied with one or more jets of gas (preferably Aner's or Welsbach's) or with two
large petroleum lamps.
The latter arrangement has three distinct objects.
a. It allows of obtaining a sufficient idea of the more or less artistic fashion of
illuminating the object and of modifying it if necessary.
b. It serves for focussing the picture; and
c. The heat produced by the jets or petroleum lamps produces the chimney

Improvements in connection with the Manufacture of Hats.
We, WILLIAM DOUGLAS ZERFFI, of Portwood Hat Works, Carrington Road, Hat
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM WELLS COLLYER, of Woods Moor, Bramhall, Mechanic,
both of Stockport, in the County of Chester, 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 invention relates to the springs used for supporting the brims of hats.
Hitherto these springs have been used without being covered and have therefore
been perceptible in all instances in which hats have been twice bound, as is usual
with hats of the better qualities.
According to our invention we cover these springs, either entirely or only the
usually visible portion thereof, with cotton, silk, or other woven material, or we
previously prepare the brim spring with a suitable adhesive and dust over the same
waste fur or other material so as to obtain a protective coating or covering.
These coverings will not only act as a preventive to the rusting of the springs,
but they make it possible to bind hats twice without the springs being visible.
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 improvements in connection with the manufacture of hats substantially as
herein set forth.
2. In the manufacture of hats the use of a brim spring covered as herein set
forth and for the purpose stated.

For this purpose the busk, or at any rate the upper part of it, is dispensed
with. The lower part of the corset is made in the usual way, the part over the
stomach is of elastic material, whilst the breasts are supported by a spring fixed
at the back and coming round beneath them, its ends carrying pads loops or
the like.

-
The object of this invention is to prevent injurious pressure on the stomach,
but nevertheless to give the necessary support to the rest of the figure.
For this purpose the bust, or at any rate the upper part of it, is dispensed
with. The lower part of the corset is made in the usual way, the part over the
stomach is of elastic material whilst the breasts are supported by a spring fixed
at the back and coming round beneath them, its ends carrying pads loops or
the like.
Figure 1 is a front view of a corset constructed according to this invention
and Figure 2 is a back view.
a is the lower part of the corset made in the ordinary männer, b b are steels
fixed to the back edges of a and projecting upwards. ce are two approximately
semi-circular springs fixed to the steels b near their tops and carrying at their
ends pads . e is elastic and preferably knitted fabric, the back portion of which
being for the sake of clearness omitted in Figure 1-although part of it would
in fact be seen above the front portion.
The space between the steels at back where the laces are, may be filled in with

page_text: Improvements in Water Closets.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Park Lane Sanitary Works, Leeds, 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 general design of a pedestal closet but chiefly
in such an extension of the closet itself towards the back that it may reach the wall
behind it and so the space generally existing between such closet and wall may be
closed and by this means a lodgement of dust or undesirable matter is avoided.
This object I may effect in a variety of ways either by making the extension an
integral part of the closet itself, or by forming loose wings to serve in the same
manner, these variations are not of paramount importance so long as the closing
in desired is properly obtained. Reference to the accompanying drawing will more
clearly shew my meaning the closets I refer to being pedestal closets of wash down
or wash out type that shown being a wash down.
It will be noticed that the closet is extended by the sides A. A to the back wall
shewn, at a base or footing is formed by preference, and I also prefer to carry
up a skirting D with a vertical connection B for the flushing pipe, the outlet of the
closet is shewn dotted through the wall but this may be formed in any desired
manner.
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:-
1st. In a pedestal closet of wash out or wash down type the use of the extended
sides or back so extended that they may reach the back wall for the purposes
intended.
2nd. The use of wings or filling pieces in combination with a pedestal closet of
wash out or wash down form whether these wings or filling pieces are made
separately or as an integral part of the closet, so long as they shall effectively close
in the space between closet pan and the back wall.
3rd. The use of a vertical flushing connection in combination with a closet as
described having wings or extension to reach to back wall.
4th. The general arrangement and design of closet and parts thereof as shewn
and described or their equivalent though differing in conformity substantially the
same.

A Composition to be Used for Rendering Garments and other Articles
Waterproof.
I, GEORGE FREDERICK NEWMAN, of Peel Forest, Rangitata, Canterbury, in the
Colony of New Zealand, Blacksmith, 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 simple and effective composition of
matter to be used for the purpose of rendering waterproof, garments and other
articles made of material usually employed when required to be rendered water-
proof.
It is applicable to garments of different kinds, vehicle aprons, rick cloths, horse
covers, tarpaulins, and other articles required to be rendered waterproof.
My composition consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions
stated viz.
Linseed oil, (boiled)
Castor oil
Turpentine
Patent dryers
Powdered sulphur
-
-
-
three gallons
one gallon
three pints
three ounces
a quarter of an ounce
Add yellow ochre or other suitable colouring matter sufficient to obtain the desired
colour.
I prefer yellow ochre for colouring, but vegetable black, or powdered white zinc
may be used for producing black or grey compositions respectively. Other suitable
colouring matters may be used to produce desired colours or the composition may
be used without colouring matter.
These ingredients are mixed together in a suitable vessel and heated to boiling
point in order to thoroughly incorporate them.
The composition is applied whilst hot to the garments or other articles by means
of a brush or in any other suitable manner; three coats of the composition being
required in order to render the garment or other articles thoroughly waterproof.
After the first coating is applied, it is allowed to remain until the composition is
thoroughly dry, when the second coating is applied and as soon as this is dry the
third or finishing coating is applied and when dry the garment or other article to
which the composition is so applied is rendered thoroughly waterproof.
After its application this composition does not become sticky, or crack or peel
off; neither does it injure the material to which it is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
Pine 71

page_text: tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
:―
The herein described composition of matter to be used for rendering garments
and other articles waterproof, consisting of boiled linseed oil, castor oil, turpentine,
patent dryers, and powdered sulphur, in the proportions specified, and with or with-
out the addition of colouring matter.
