Improvements in Clamps for Raising and Lowering Electric or OII.
Floor Standards, also applicable for Table Lamps, Music Stands,
and the like.
1, ROBERT WALTER BRAHAM, of 76 St. Agnes Place, Kennington Park in
in the County of Surrey, Metal Spinner and Electrical Brass Finisher 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 relates to clamps or grips for electric and other floor standards,
table lamps, music stands and similar articles, and is designed to facilitate the
raising and lowering of same without scratching and injuring the sliding rod or
tube as is the case by the methods now at present in use.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is an elevation showing my invention as adapted to a floor standard.
Figure 2 is a sectional view and
Figure 3 shews the clamp in pieces.
Letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawing:
:-
A is the outer case, B is the clamp or grip, C is the sliding tube or rod, D is the
tube into which the rod C slides.
In carrying my invention into practice, I make the outer case A as in Figure 1,
into which I place the clamp or grip B and by a slight turn of the upper portion
of the case A, the clamp B is screwed tight and the sliding rod C is held firmly in
position which prevents the slipping of the rod C. By a slight turn in the opposite
direction the clamp B is released and the rod is allowed to be raised or lowered as
the case may be.
I preferably make my improved clamp or grip in three pieces as shewn in
Figure 3, so that immediately it is released it falls apart and away from the sliding
rod C and prevents scratching and disfiguration of the sliding rod when raised or
lowered, as is usually the case with the methods now in use, but my improved
clamp or grip can be made in any other suitable manner without departing from.
the nature of my invention.
A further important feature of my invention is, that it can be adapted to any
existing standard or the like, having a telescopic motion, by simply having the
outer case A screwed and turned to suit the various sizes.
My improved clamp or grip may be made in wood, ebonite or any hard.
substance.
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 :-
An improved clamp or grip for the purposes above described, and shown in the
accompanying drawing.

I CLEMENS MÜLLER of 6 Langestrasse, Leipzig in the Empire of Germany
Metal Stamper and Plater, 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 subject of this invention is a mouth-organ case composed of celluloid or
similar material and having the form of a small box. This disposition or arrange-
ment possesses the great advantage that the instrument contained in the case is in
every respect protected from dust so that the failure of any note or its becoming
damaged so as to be out of tune is hardly possible.
In the accompanying drawings:-
Figure is a perspective view of the case and
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
The box which is the subject of this invention forms a protective case for the
real instrument and consists of a bottom a and a lid hinged together. The
bottom a has apertures c on its front side which fit over the ordinary openings of
the chambers and are glued or otherwise firmly attached to their partitions in such
manner as to prevent the adjoining notes sounding when air is blown into any of
the openings. A part of the bottom is laid over the upper sounding plate so as to
enable the reed or tongue mechanism to be more securely fastened as well as to
avoid damaging the reeds or tongues when in use. The front side of the lid has a
corresponding lower edge d which catches in a recesse at the underside of the
bottom thus forming an automatic clasp or fastening. Both the bottom and lid of
the box or case are shaped hollow by pressure or by other convenient means so ng
to correspond with and contain the instrument, and being thus stamped out of flat
pieces of celluloid or similar suitable material have solid corners which are not
split.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
A mouth-organ case consisting of a box and a hinged flap or lid made of celluloid
or other similar suitable material, in the lower part of which the instrument is
firmly secured, substantially as shewn and described.

I JOSEPH KNOWLES, of 268, Tabard Street, Borough, S.E. Brush Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in hair or other brushes, or the like and
has for its object to provide means whereby the backs of such brushes may be
more securely and easily fixed to the bristle-containing parts than heretofore,
without the aid of metal screws or nails.
And in order that the said invention may be the more readily understood, I
have shewn same upon the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a plan of the bristle-containing portion of a brush, with the bristles
removed therefrom,
Fig. 2 being an underside view of the back of the brush shewn separate from
the other portion, while
Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse sections of two forms of brushes complete, con-
structed according to my invention.
Referring to the drawings, a is the bristle portion of a brush, constructed with a
tongue a extending the whole (or it may be a portion) of its length. This tongue
may be of any desirable form, whether straight or curved, but it is essential that
the sides of such tongue shall be vertical or nearly so.
Perforations are bored through the portion a and its tongue a¹, to receive the
bristles a³ which may be fixed in such perforations by any suitable well known
means.
The back 6 of the brush, is fashioned with a groove 61 corresponding in shape
and size to the tongue a¹ in the bristle-portion of the brush, and the said back b is
secured to such portion a by means of wooden pegs c, which are driven through
awl-holes c formed in the vertical sides 6 of the brush-back.
I may also employ glue or other mucilage in conjunction with the wooden pegs
aforesaid, to act as an additional means of securing the back b to the bristle
portion 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:-
The means of securing the backs of brushes or the like to the bristle-portions,
consisting in the employment of wooden pegs, and grooving the backs and corre
spondingly tongueing the bristle-portions of such brushes or the like substantially
as described and illustrated.

I, ALFRED JOHN BEWICK WARD 15 Great George Street in the County of
London Concrete Specialist 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 paving whereby the danger of
slipping is avoided, may be ornamental or plain in appearance, is everlasting, &
more economy in manufacture, is obtained than hitherto.
According to my invention I make a plain or ornamental perforated casting or
frame of lead or other suitable material or combination of materials & thickness
& put it at the bottom of a mold I then fill in between with concrete composed of
crushed limestone, granite marble or other suitable material & Portland cement or
the like to a sufficient thickness necessary for the purpose for which the paving or
article is required upon taking the concrete slab out of the mold the lead will
show on the surface of the slab & this wearing with the concrete will produce the
desired result or I may reverse the manner of manufacture by putting the lead
casting on a bed of concrete or other foundation & filling in between with
materials as before described.
The advantages of floors constructed according to this invention may be stated
as follows:

Trawl Head for Fishing Purposes.
DAVID ALEXANDER SHERET Bell Street Engine Works North Shields Marine
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvement lies in making the trawl head of cast steel cast malleable or
other suitable metal, and in producing a much stronger trawl head by introducing
instead of flat bar a 1 section, also in arranging lug pieces for bolting together the
various parts, in such a way as to subject bolts to tensional stress, thus greatly
relieving the shearing stress usually borne by rivets. It also enables parts to be
made in exact duplicate, and by this means reducing time in repairing such gear,
holes being cast in the several parts.
Dated this 23rd day of May 1894.
DAVID ALEXANDER SHERET Bell Street Engine Works North Shields Marine
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 making the trawl head of bars of T, L, L or like
shape in cross section instead of as heretofore of flat bars and further in forming
these bars with lugs for bolting together the various parts in such a manner as to
subject the bolts to tensional instead of shearing stress, the strength of the head
being by these means greatly increased.
Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings are respectively a front and end
elevation of the improved trawl head.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are respectively sections on the lines A-B, C-D, and E-F,
Figure 1, and
Figure 6 is a view of a portion of one of the bars.
As illustrated the parts a, b and c of the trawl head are made partly of T and
partly of shape in cross section as desired and they are joined together by bolts d
passing through lugs e formed thereon, the bolts being thereby subjected to tensional
stress instead of a shearing stress as usually borne by the rivets in the old class of
trawl heads. The several portions of the head which are preferably of cast steel
or malleable iron but may be of any other suitable metal, are made in duplicate
thereby saving time in repairing.
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 parts constituting the improved trawl head substantially
as described with reference to the annexed drawings.

page_text: 2. The improved trawl head composed of bars of T, L, 4 or like section
fastened together by bolts passing through lugs formed on the sections, substantially
as described with reference to the annexed drawings.

Improvements in Roofing Tiles or Slabs.
I, CARL WICKE, of 28 Paraleelstrasse, Lehe, in the German Empire, Builder,-
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 :-
Cement roofing tiles or slabs, as made hitherto, have the disadvantage that in
consequence of the joints at the surface, the water could pass between the tiles
or slabs through the 100f.
The invention is designed to remedy the above defect.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to-
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying diawings, and to
the letters and figues marked thereon.
Figure is a plan of the slab seen from above.
Figue 2 18 a plan thereof, seen from below.
Figure 3 18 a section on the line c d.
Figure 4 is a section on the line ef, aud Figure 5 is a section on the line a b
The tiles or slabs are homboidal in form, and are provided on their upper-
side with an undercut rim v, on one half. In front of the rim v, the tile or slab
has an angular recess 2, the greatest depth of which is in the extreme angle of
the m v. The recess runs along the rim and vanishes m the upper face of
the tile or slab just before the cuive of the rim. The recess is designed to
catch any water that may have been pressed out by the pressure of the wind,
and to lead the same away downwards. The lower half of the tile or slab is
formed on its underside with a rim s, which however does not end in an angle,
but in a straight end t, which covers the abutting joints, and thus prevents the
collection of water, and particularly of fine duft snow. The slabs are provided
on one side with a Dose or projection, and with a recess y on the opposite side,
into which engages the nose of another slab in order to make a joint. The
abutment joint is covered by the lower rims of the tile or slab The water as it-
flows down is prevented from entering through the side abutment joints by the
oblique tongues and y, which lead the water also to the surface of the tile-
or slab.
As the recess would considerably weaken the tile, if no means were taken to
avoid this, an enlargement 18 provided on the underside of the tile or slab, in.
order to equalize the loss of strength caused by the recess y.
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
clann Is
A 100fing slab or tile, in which the recess or groove on the upper end of the.
slab is adapted to carry away the water, substantially as described and shown in
the accompanying drawings.

HUBERT BERRY, Draughtsman, Union Road, Crediton, Devon.
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:-
This instrument is intended for the use of all draughtsmen, architects &c.
It is in two parts, the first being the paper weight & stand for the pencil
sharpener E; the second being the sharpener itself F. The first is an ornamental
moulded stand of wood, stone, or metal hollowed on the top surface to form
a trough to catch any dust from the pencil sharpener D.
F the pencil sharpener is a thin plate of steel, with the upper surface cut or
roughed after the manner of a file: this is attached to the stand by means of screws
& thus forms the combined instrument.
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 combination of the two articles enables the operator to use the instrument
with one hand, the paper-weight E keeping the whole instrument staple.
2. The hollowed surface of the paper-weight D prevents pencil dust from the
sharpener F from falling on to the table or desk.
3. The roughened surface of the steel blade F cuts the lead in a true & speedy
manner, this is accomplished by rubbing the lead upon the file blade until the
required point is obtained.

page_text: 4. No claim is made for the particular cut or construction of the file, what is
claimed is the combination of the two articles to produce an instrument clean
& speedy in use, and to supersede the knife, sand-paper and such like.

of 112 Oxford Road Reading, in the County of Berkshire, England 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 relates to improvements on former inventions for which I have
obtained Letters Patent No. 5395 dated 13th of March 1893 and No. 8501 dated
27th of April 1893 which consisted in the employment of a filament of suitable
material to encircle the sticky composition forming a mechanical obstruction to its
passage past same and which allowed for either the paper to be folded in the centre
when the filament was carried round three sides only or using two sheets when it
entirely encircled it.
This filament was covered with a sticky composition and forced into the paper
but I find that the process of manufacture may be more expeditiously carried on
by making the filament itself a composition of gutta percha or rubber and being put
on when liquified by heat on cooling can be forced into the paper and being
homogenous forms a more perfect joint than the covered filament. The composition
I find most suitable consists of 2 parts of bees wax 2 of resin and 1 of gutta
percha dissolved together by heat, the proportions however can be altered to
get various degrees of hardness according to the climate the papers are to be
used in.
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 manufacture of fly papers constructed as described in the Specifications
of the Letters Patent Nos. 5395 & 8501 of 1893 and shewn in the drawings
therewith; the employment of a filament of a homogenous nature by preference
composed of the materials herein specified either partially or completely encircling

manner or form integral therewith, a resilient rod b, which may be vertical, as in
the drawing, or at any desired angle to the jaw-spring a¹.
In operation, the jaws of the spring a are clipped upon the ledge c¹ of the music-
rest or stand for instance c, and the rod placed in the centre of the music-book for
instance between the leaves at any suitable part of same as shewn in Fig. 3. By this.
means the leaves of the book can be rapidly and readily turned over as occasion
demands it, without in any way disarranging the position of the book and without
risk of dislodging same off the rest or stand.
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 device for holding music in position upon music-rests or for similar purposes,..
consisting of spring jaws the upper one having a resilient rod projecting vertically
or incliningly from same, substantially as and for the purpose described and.

I, GEORGE DOUGLAS CAMPBELL, of 9 Thayer Street, London, W. Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of my invention is to secure a scarf pin against withdrawal from the
scarf when being worn.
In order that the nature of my invention, and the manner of performing the
same may be clearly understood, I proceed to describe the construction and action
thereof with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shews front elevation of
my improved scarf pin protector with pin inserted therein.
The tube a of metal or suitable material, has a screw thread upon its exterior
surface to allow of the nut 6 being screwed on to it.
This tube a is preferably tapered towards its lower extremity, and has slits cut
in it longitudinally so that it will expand or open to the required extent to admit
of the insertion of pins of various sizes.
At the upper extremity of the tube a is a cross bar or strip c which rests against
the inner side of the scarf in which the pin is being worn, and prevents all movement
of the pin & whether longitudinally or horizontally.
It is thus impossible for the scarf pin to be surreptitiously removed, or to be
twisted round out of its correct position in the scarf.
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 [
VERILIZ
CLAIM.
1. The improved scarf pin protector having split screwed tube a for insertion of
pin, secured by nut band with cross piece c, substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described.

Apparatus for Conveying Sorted Materials Delivered from Sorting™
Apparatus by Means of Flowing Water.
I, FRITZ BAUM, of 3 Fabrikstrasse, Herne, Prussia, Engineer and 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 an improved construction of apparatus for receiving
the sorted coals, ores or other minerals, as they are delivered from the sorting
apparatus and delivering the same by the aid of separate streams of water to
wherever required, such as to the jiggers, the object of the invention being both
to prevent deterioration of the materials as much as possible during such travel
and to enable their transport to be effected by means of only slightly inclined.
shoots.
By this means the shoots can occupy a comparatively small amount of vertical:
space, in consequence of which the buildings containing the apparatus can be:
made of a less height so as to save expense.
The said apparatus is shewn on the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1
shews a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 an end view.
The apparatus consists of a casing a which, in the arrangement shewn, has five-
compartments a¹ a² a³ at a corresponding to the five channels c¹² that are
supplied with sorted materials from the sorting drum b. The casing has at one.
side a valve box d communicating with a water supply pipe e.
The five com-
partments of the casing a communicate with the valve box, and consequently-
with the supply pipe e by means of five openings, which are closed by five valves...
The casing a is connected on the one hand with the channels c¹² ccc and on.
the other hand with the shoots ƒ³ ƒ ƒ³ ƒª ƒ³.
On opening the valves the water supplied by the pipe e flows through the
compartments a¹ a² a³ a¹ a³ into the shoots f f f f f and carries with it the-
materials falling through the channels c¹ c² ca c4 c6 so as to convey the same along
the shoots to the jiggers 9¹ 9² 9³ 9ª 9º.
The water supply to each compartment and shoot is regulated by means of the
valves.
In place of valves may be employed slides or other suitable regulating devices.
If the sorting drum bas a greater or less number of sieves than five, the.
casing a is provided with a correspondingly greater or less number of compart-
ments and closing devices.
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 1
claim is :-
Apparatus for conveying the sorted materials from sorting drums, consisting
of a casing having a greater or less number of compartments communicating
by means of valves or other closing devices with a water supply for the purpose
of conveying the materials along shoots by means of flowing water, substantially
as described.

Improvements in Indicators for Use in Libraries, and for other
purposes.
I, CEDRIC CHIVERS, Bookbinder, 39 Gay Street, Bath, 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 relates, primarily, to an improved apparatus for indicating by
means of reference numbers, displayed in a convenient manner, as in a frame,..
which books have been issued, or which are yet available for issue, in a library..
But my invention may also be employed as an indicator for other purposes.
Referring to the annexed drawings:-
Fig. 1. is a front elevation of such an indicator.
Fig. 2. is a transverse section, shewing a few slats, A. A.
Fig. 3. is a plan, shewing a few of the slats, A. A, in position.
To carry out my improvements, in connection with each reference number N
I make use of a slat, A, of wood, card, or other suitable substance, the ends of which:
are colored, or are otherwise rendered conspicuous. This slat may be freely placed
in a cavity C, in the body B, of the indicator, contiguous to the number, the
colored end appearing at the front, close to, but preferably under the reference.
number N, in such a way that it is qualified or underlined by a distinct line, to-
indicate the presence of a book having that reference number; or of any other
article for which such an indicator may be employed. When the slat is withdrawn,.
the book or other article represented is thereby indicated as
"out" or "not
available."
In connection with my improved indicator I may use a system of registering or
recording the books or other articles, which may be by means of ledgers, cards, or-
other methods.
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. In indicators for use in libraries and for similar purposes, shewing numbers.
referring to numbered articles, the use, when necessary, of a distinct line
adjoining and thus qualifying any desired number, for effecting the purpose herein.
set forth.
2. In indicators for use in libraries and for similar purposes, showing numbers
referring to numbered articles, the use, when necessary, of the slat A, either end of
which will show as a distinct line adjoining any desired number, for effecting the
purpose herein set forth.

page_text: Date of Application, 27th Oct., 1894-Accepted, 9th Feb., 1895
CLARINDA QUIN Birch Cottage, Ascot Berks Writer 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 :—
Improvements in coal boxes is a wooden barrel which is enclosed in a cabinet
with a drawer at the bottom.
The cabinet is placed on a stand with two shelves suitable for books or
ornaments (1).
The barrel has a cover in which an opening is cut; this cover is secured by a
button which runs through a slot. On one side of the barrel there is a pin with
plate, on the other a socket with plate. The barrel is poised (2) above the drawer,
in the cabinet, by means of the pin and the socket which drop into two grooves
cut in two pieces of wood which run from back to front of the cabinet in the
interior.
There is a hole cut in one panel of the cabinet to correspond with the groove
into which the socket attached to the barrel drops.
Into this socket which is square internally is passed a spindle from the outside
of the cabinet; this spindle is square and fits the socket. The external end of
the spindle is attached to a brass plate to which is screwed a brass handle (3).
When this handle is given half a turn the barrel partially revolves and the coal
falls into the drawer beneath (4). The drawer is then pulled out and serves as
a shovel.
There are barriers (5) round the drawer to prevent the coal falling about.
There is a small piece of wood on the edge of the barrel (6) which catches
against the barrier and forms a check to prevent the barrel revolving too far.
The handle being turned back to its original place the barrel resumes its upright
position (7).
There is a second brass handle screwed to a plate and attached to the other side
panel of the cabinet to make it symmetrical.
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-
I. The revolving action of coal box.
II. The working of coal box from outside of closed cabinet.
III. The falling of the coal into a drawer which can be drawn out and used as
a shovel.

DIVIFICATION.
Improvements in Lavatory Basins, and the Overflow and Waste
Arrangements thereof.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, of Peasholme Green, in the City and County of York,
Sanitary 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 a new or improved construction of lavatory basin, and
the overflow and waste arrangements thereof.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shews in perspective view the basin, which may be somewhat D shaped in
plan, and the section Fig. 2 shews the waste plug and mode of carrying away the
waste water after use.
Instead of the ordinary plug seated in the bottom of the basin, I form a small
chamber a in the body of the material, below the bottom of the basin itself, and in
this chamber I seat the waste plug b. The top of this small chamber is formed by
the bottom of the basin, and this I perforate at c, so that the liquid may enter the
perforations, and pass into the small chamber beneath the basin. In the bottom of
this chamber there is an opening, which opening is closed by the plug b, when the
basin is in use. When the plug b is lifted, therefore, the waste water will run
through the perforations c before named, and pass away through the opening below
the plug. Underneath the basin itself I provide a trap d formed of glazed earthen-
ware, similar to that of which the basin itself is made, and this trap I support upon
the cast iron or other bracket or pedestal, and it in turn helps to carry or support
the lavatory basin itself.
The basins may be fixed singly or side by side in series.
I also provide an overflow e for the basin, which overflow communicates with the
waste outlet below the seating of the plug.
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. In a lavatory basin, the combination therewith of the waste chamber formed
in the body of the basin itself, and the waste plug in connection therewith.
2. In a lavatory basin, the combination of a waste chamber formed in the body
of the basin, and a waste plug, substantially as described, with a trap made of the
same material as the basin, placed immediately below and communicating directly
with the opening from the waste chamber, and giving support to the basin.
3. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts substantially
as herein described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 29th day of October 1894.
