Improvements in Firebars.
I, CARL MÖHRING of 5 Wollankstrasse, Paukow, near Berlin in the Kingdom
of Prussia 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 comprises a firebar which by its very practical construction
combines the advantages of all previously known systems without having the great
disadvantage that during the firing the cold air is allowed free access to heated
parts of the boiler thus exposing same to frequent leaks because of sudden
cooling.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is a plan view of my firebar and
Figure 2 a part, sectional side view of such a firebar.
a is the girdershaped web of the bar and bb are the end parts or heads which
rest on usual bearing bars. Each head has a hole c through it and d d are flap
valves hinged at e for opening and closing the holes c. The levers ff having
their fulcrum at e are fixedly connected to the valves d and 9 is a pull rod jointed
to the levers and by preference provided with a handle at the front of the boiler
and held in a guide. On the web a of the firebar are at suitable distances apart
provided bosses and which may be either plain hollow cylinders or double
hollow cylinders i. k is a guard slanting over the heads 6 and serving to keep
the coals from entering the holes when firing or stoking.
As shown in Figure 1 the bosses and i are placed intermediately in rows
whereby the greatest possible grate surface is obtained because the dead surface
is made a minimum by reason of the concentric rings. The fuel is thus wholly
utilized by sufficient supply of air or oxygen. As the grate bars have a very
large surface as shewn the air passing through can cool the metal sufficiently and
the bars be kept from burning away. The air passing through the holes c is at
the same time heated by the hot walls of same and while commingling with the
gases of combustion brings the particles of coal in same into complete combustion.
In order to prevent the cold air which is detrimental to parts of the boiler and
impedes the combustion from entering the boiler flue while charging the grate, the
openings c are kept closed by the valves d and opened again when the fire door is
closed.
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 firebar the fire-covered surface of which is provided with annular or
cylindrical passages or i for air admission and with end parts or heads 6 having
holes or passages c with valves & substantially as described and shewn.

Production of Ozone and Luminosity by Electrical Means.
EMILE ANDREOLI Journalist, 18 Somerleyton Road Brixton Surrey 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 my Specifications Nos. 17426/91, 9631/1892, 21794/1892, I have described a
mode of producing ozone, by means of the silent discharge, generated by an electric
current, from points, sharp angles, asperities, and the like. The object of the
present improvement is to produce simultaneously ozone and luminosity or light
by the use of such points, angles or asperities as are afforded by serrated wires,
fret saws, or the like, in combination with vacuum tubes or tubes containing more
or less rarefied gases, or with incandescent lamps, or other similar sealed dielectric
vessels.
The said tubes are provided inside with an electrode consisting of a carbon
filament or a metallic wire or rod, or several wires or rods, or with a bundle of
small serrated wire, acting as an electrode, the points of which radiate in such a
manner as to face towards the inside of the glass tube or vessel, or with any other
convenient internal metallic armature.
Outside the tube and in proximity to it, either longitudinally, spirally, or other-
wise, some serrated wires or other equivalent metallic electrodes are fixed in any
convenient manner so as to have their points directed towards the centre of the
tube or vessel. One end of the wire, rod or other electrode contained in the vacuum
tube is connected with one of the poles of a Ruhmkorffs coil or of a high frequency
transformer, the external metallic armature of the tube is connected with the other
pole and as soon as the electric current passes, the inside of the tube becomes
luminous and at the same time on each of the points of the serrated wires, fret
saws, etc., the characteristic glow of the silent discharge appears and is accompanied
by a strong smell of ozone.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
The employment of vacuum tubes electric lamps or other exhausted or partially
exhausted dielectric vessels in the construction of apparatus for the production of
ozone whereby ozone and luminosity or light are simultaneously produced by the
silent electric discharge from points bearing electrodes such as metallic serrated
wires, points, etc. disposed outside and in proximity to a vacuum tube or tubes,
electric lamps, or the like internally provided with one electrode or more, substan-
tially as above described.

like for Drying and other Purposes.
HERBERT PEARCE 4 Charles Street Cardiff, Teacher of Wood Carving, 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 clothes-line made of wire galvanized
or otherwise so constructed as to secure the clothes to the line without pins or pegs.
In order that the invention and the means by which it is to be carried into practical
effect may be thoroughly understood, I will now describe the same in detail
referring to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken as part of the:
Specification and read therewith.
Fig. 1. is a portion of the clothes-line.
Fig. 2. is a portion of the clothes-line with the grip holding the clothes.
Fig. 3. is a clothes-line complete folded up.
A is the clothes-line.
B loops which join the links together.
C is the grip, which when in use holds the clothes as shown in Fig. 2.
D is the loop of grip, which when pressed down catches under the wire & forms:
the grip, as shown in Fig. 2.
E is an article held on the line.
In releasing the clothes the loop d is pressed with the thumb & the grip then
springs open causing the clothes to be entirely free. With regard to the reference
letters these apply to the same right through the drawings.
In this invention, I take & form a piece of wire-a foot, more or less in length,
at each end into a loop-& I bend or form another loop, about 4 inches from the
end & leave this loop a little open, so that it can cause a spring for gripping
purposes, which is to do away with pinning or pegging the clothes to the line..
The line when finished can be folded up into the length of the links. The clothes
line may also be used for hanging drapery or curtains &c. I shall use any class of
wire iron, copper steel or other material, & also galvanized such as may be.
required.
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 formation of a piece of wire in such a way as to produce a clothes line of
any length with loops & with a grip spring as set forth illustrated & described.

Device in Gas or Petroleum Engines with Slow Combustion, for
Insuring the Maintenance of the Combustion.
I, OSCAR BRÜNLER of 15 Braustrasse Eutritzsch near Leipsic, Germany.
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 gas- and petroleum-engines with slow combustion, viz. in
which the organs admitting the combustibles remain open and the combustion lasts
as long as the piston takes to entirely or at least partly effect its stroke.
The motors of these kinds used till now have the draw-back, that the maintenance
of the combustion during the admission-period of the combustibles is altogether
uncertain. Even though the ignition may be effected by an ignition-pipe, the
maintenance of the combustion is uncertain because it is difficult to keep the
speed of the combustion in accordance with the speed of admission of the com-
bustible mixture. It occurs that as soon as the mixture is ignited, a sudden
expansion takes place. This expansion causes the currents of air and combustibles
to be stowed, through which the combustion is interrupted.
To meet this inconvenience, I arrange the engine as shown by the accompanying
drawing, which is a longitudinal section of the respective parts of a motor.
The cylinder a is supplied with compressed air through pipe b, and with gas or
dispersed petroleum through pipe c. The ignition-chamber e is heated by the
flame d. From the point a, where the mixture is ignited, the ignition-chamber e
is expanded so that in spite of the expansion of the burning mixture, the pressure
is not considerably increased, and consequently the combustible mixture streams in
without hindrance.
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 a gas or petroleum-engine with slow combustion of a mixture of compressed
air and gas or of compressed air and oil the expanded ignition chamber e as and for
the purpose set forth.

We JULES GERMAIN, LOUIS BOISNE, HENRI BOISNE, Spinners and Weavers,
of Condé-sur-Noireau, (Calvados) in the Republic of France, 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 :-
Our improvements refer to that class of packings formed of asbestos yarn plaited
into the shape and size required. These packings may be filled with lubricating
or other materials. The yarn out of which our improved packing is plaited is
made of metallic wire and asbestos spun together. We are aware that steam
packings have been made with a metallic wire or wires inserted in the packing, in
such cases the yarn with which the packings were made has been spun with
asbestos only or asbestos mixed with vegetable fibres, the yarn so formed being
plaited round the metallic wire, hence we make no claim for any such packing, but
What we claim is
1st. The production of steam packings with yarns made of metallic wire and
asbestos spun together.
2nd. The production of steam packings with yarns made of metallic wire and
asbestos spun together in combination with lubricating or other materials.

Improvements in and relating to Braces or Suspenders for Trousers.
I, JOHN THOMSON RAE of Cults in the County of Aberdeen, Mechanical
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 has for its object improvements in the method of and means for
suspending trousers and as illustrated by Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the
improvements consist in substituting for ordinary front and back tabs, buttoned to
the trousers, endless elastic bands a passed over rollers bat the back and front ends
of the braces c which are preferably otherwise made of ordinary webbing or other
inelastic material.
Instead of ordinary buttons being sewn to the waist band of the trousers a
metallic plate d shewn in full size detail by Fig. 2 is placed within the waist band
and from the outer side there is passed through the cloth and through the plate
two studs, hooks or their equivalents e the inner ends of which are rivetted or
otherwise secured to the plate.
By this combination a suspender or brace capable of more speedy adjustment is
provided.
The bands a instead of being endless may have their extremities connected to
the front and back ends of the brace in any suitable manner.
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. As means for suspending trousers the improved tabs a attached to the braces c
in combination with the plates d and studs, hooks or the like e.
2. As means of attachment for trouser braces or suspenders the plate d secured
to the waist band and provided with studs, hooks or the like as described.

An Improved Guard for Children's Nursery and other Doors.
EDMUND ROBERT BALLER 16 Cambridge Arcade Southport Lancashire
Engraver. I 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 construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter
described for preventing persons fingers, clothing &c. becoming shut in between the
hinged edges of doors and frames.
I fix to the frame and near the edge of door an angular piece of wood or other
suitable material, to the outside edge of this angular piece I attach by means of hinges
a board, on the inside of this angular piece I place in a vertical position or length-
wise with the same a number of spiral or straight springs, I secure these springs at
each end to the angular piece of wood before mentioned by means of staples or
hooks. I now take each spring by its centre and secure it by means of a staple or
hook to the board before mentioned, the object of this is to draw the said board
towards or across the inside of the angular piece before mentioned.
Referring to the annexed drawings
Fig. 1 is a section of an ordinary room door & frame with my guard affixed with
door closed.
Fig. 2 is the same with door open.
Fig. 3 is an inside view in perspective of my guard made up but detached
from door.
a is a door hinged at 6 to frame c. d is the angular part of guard attached to
frame c. e is the board attached to the angular part d at f. is one of the
springs secured to angled part at h and to board at . j is portion of a wall.
When the door is closed as seen in Fig. 1 the springs are stretched, causing the
board e to press against the door, on opening the door the board e is drawn by
the springs towards the inside of angular piece d thereby following the door &
covering the aperture made between the door and frame when open as seen
by Fig. 2.
The angular piece d may be fixed on the door instead of on the frame, in this
case the board e would press against the inside of door frame instead of against the
door, and on opening the door would cover the aperture between the door and door
frame in a similar manner as hereinbefore described.
Having now particularly described & 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. In door guards the combination of angular piece d attached to the door frame
or to the door.
2. Board e attached to part d by means of hinges.
3. Springs g to draw board e across the aperture.

Non-rotative Steam Pumping Engines.
I, HENRY DAVEY, of 3, Princes Street, Westminster, in the County of
Middlesex, 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. :-
My invention consists in means by which the expansive force of the steam in the
steam cylinder or cylinders may be carried to a greater extent by utilizing the
enertia of the water in the water mains, whereby a greater resistance is put on
the engine at the beginning of the stroke when the water is being put into motion,
and a corresponding decreasing resistance towards the end of the stroke when the
water is coming to rest.
Where the water main is very long as compared with the vertical height to which
the water is pumped-then I divide the water main in two parts-placing an air
vessel at the junction so that in the first part of the main there shall be an inter-
mittent flow of water-the water being put in motion and brought to rest during.
each stroke of the pump-whilst the water in the remainder of the water main
may be kept constantly flowing by the well known action of the air in the air
vessel.
That my invention may be clearly understood I have prepared a drawing Fig. 1
in which a, b and c, d, are the high and the low pressure cylinders respectively of a
pair of compound non-rotative engines.
e and are double acting force pumps, operated directly from the piston rods of
the steam engines. is the suction pipe, leading water to the pumps e and f
through the suction vessel h, and the suction pipes i, 1, 1, are surface condensers
of the ordinary construction.
The water delivered from the pumpe is conveyed through the pipe k, condenser 1,
and the pipe m to the air vessel n.
In like manner the water delivered by the pump f is conveyed through the
pipe, condenser l, and the pipe m', to the air vessel n. The water leaves the air
vessel n and enters the main pipe o.
It will thus be seen that the water contained in the pipes and pumps between
the points and h partakes of the motion of the pump piston, whilst the water in
the suction pipe y, and in the delivery main o may be constantly flowing.
Having now 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 combination of the water mains g, i, i, k, k', m, m³, and o with the pumps e
and in the manner and for the purpose described and illustrated.

Improvements in Cushion Tires.
1 HENRI TANGHIE of 177 Rue de Tanneurs, Brussels in the Kingdom of
Belgium, Mechanician, 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 cushion tires for the wheels of velocipedes or any road
vehicle and consists in so constructing or shaping the tire that the latter shall be
supported in the rim along two annular lines or planes leaving between them an
anuular breadth of the tire unsupported by the rim, the running face or sole of the
tire being supported from this annular breadth by a projecting annular web acting
as a strut so that the said breadth is brought into a tensional deflection by the
weight of the vehicle and its load and the latter is principally supported through
this tensional deflection of the tire instead of by direct compression of the material.
of the latter.
In the annexed drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are cross sections of two forms of tire..
A represents the spokes. B the wheel rim. C the annular planes or lines where
the tire is supported by the wheel rim to which it is fixed by any suitable mode of
fixing forming no part of this invention. H is the annular hollow space between.
the rim and that part G of the tire which is the annular breadth before spoken of
unsupported by the rim F is the web supporting under compression the sole II
against the tensional breadth or base G, and E E are spaces between the web F
and the parts necessary to complete the usual exterior form of the tire.
The tire may be in one part or in two parts; in the latter case the tensional
base G which may be called a chord band being made separate from the
remainder.
It is preferable but not essential that this system of chord (G) and perpen-.
dicular (F) should be found at every cross section that could be taken through the:
tire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is ;-
A cushion tire adapted to be so secured to a wheel rim that a web F in the
plane of the wheel carries the force of impact upon a chord band G supported
annularly by the rim in two planes one on each side of the plane of the said web.

follows:-
My invention relates to means of indicating externally on a sluice valve the
position of the sluice inside as it is moved by means of an internal screw worked by
an external handle. For this purpose, I form a screw thread on the spindle which.
is turned by the handle and on this I fit a nut from which an arm projects into a
graduated guide. As the spindle is turned the nut is caused to move in the same.
direction and to the same extent as the internal sluice, and the arm points to a.
division on the guide which indicates the extent to which the valve is open..
Instead of forming a screw thread on the main spindle, I may mount a subsidiary
screw threaded spindle parallel to the main spindle and work this by gearing from
the main spindle, so as to move a guided out to act as a gauge of the valve.
