Our improvements consist in an arrangement of parts carried in a frame A, secured
to ribs A¹ for locking a coin between the horns of sprocket wheel C, and the upper
part of curved shute D, and successively releasing said coin by passing another of
such coins into hopper B.
Sprocket wheel C, dial E, ratchet wheel F, and lever G, are carried by shaft H,
said shaft moves forward and registers one unit on dial E, upon the introduction of
each coin into hopper B and over sprocket wheel C.
A dial I numbered from 6 to 120 on its inner circle and from 126 to 240 on its
outer circle (see Fig. 2) is fixed to wheel J, said wheel is actuated one tooth by
lever G (in the direction indicated by arrows) each complete revolution of dial E,
said dial E being numbered from 0 to representing the passage of six coins.
On the periphery of wheel J is fixed a pin K, which engages with wheel L, said
wheel L carries a circular shutter L' with eight apertures; four of said aperatures
exposing the outer circle of figures (126 to 240) on dial I, the other exposing the
inner circle of figures from 6 to 120.
The operation of the mechanism is as follows.-A coin is introduced through
hopper B, falls into one of the six cavities on sprocket wheel C; as the coin is
forced through the hopper, it moves the sprocket wheel C forward and thus locks
the coin against the upper part of shute D, this movement simultaneously registers
the number of coins on dials E and I.
The direction of movement of wheels and dials is indicated by arrows and their
backward movement is restrained by ratchet wheels F, M and N and their respective
catches and springs 01, 02 and 0³.
The locking and sealing arrangement is identical with our invention No. 19452
A.D. 1896 except that a swivle shutter P, slotted at its forward end, engages with the
sealing lever; said shutter in its normal position closes the eye in the box case, but

page_text: when the sealing lever is lifted, said shutter may be swivled into position shewn in
dotted-lines and thus give access to the numbers on dial I, as shewn in Fig. 1.

We THOMAS WILLIAM TIDMARSH and FREDERICK CHARLES TIDMARSH trading as
Tidmarsh & Sons of 226 Upper Street, Islington in the County of London Window
Blind Manufacturers 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 Invention relates to Venetian Blinds and comprises a novel arrangement for
attaching the tapes to the top and bottom thick laths of the Blind.
According to out Invention two or more eyelets are inserted in each end of each
length of tape, and these eyelets are passed over corresponding specially construsted
staples which are designed to be fastened into the thick laths of the Blind, a split
key or cotter is then passed through the staples and the ends bent over thus making
the whole secure and preventing the eyelets from coming off the staples.
To enable the Invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing in which :-
Figure 1 is a drawing of the specially construsted double staple which is fastened
into the thick laths.
Figure 2 one of the ends of the tapes with the eyelets 'b. b.' inserted.
Figure 3 is one of the split keys or cotters.
Figure 4 is a view representing the tapes attached to the upper side of the top
thick lath of a Blind.

Figure 5 is a section of the same at 5. 5. a' is the thick lath itself. 'b. b. b. b.' are
the eyelets inserted into the tapes c. c.' 'd. d.' staples tied together by a continuous
bar and fastened at the ends into the thick lath. e. e. are the split keys or cotters
that are inserted through the staples after the eyelets have been passed over so as to
make the whole secure.
It will be readily understood that by attaching the tapes to the thick laths as
described the said tapes can be attached and detached with greater ease and speed
than when arranged as hitherto.
As shown in the drawing only two eyelets are inserted in the tape at each end and
it will be readily understood that any number may be inserted that may be required
for strength.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our Invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
1. A Venetian Blind the tapes of which are mounted and attached to the thick
laths substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
2. In a Venetian Blind attaching the tapes to the thick laths by means of eyelets
in the tapes to be passed over the staples fastened into the thick laths, and made
secure by split keys or cotters passing through the staples.

Improvements in or connected with Jackets and Coats.
I, FREDERICK HOARE trading as Hoare and Sons, Tailor, of Central House,
252 and 254, High Holborn, London, 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 improvements in connection with jackets and coats for
gentlemen's wear, and is intended to provide a detachable device which will have the
appearance of a waistcoat when in use.
The arrangement I propose to employ consists of a strip of cloth the front edge of
which is cut into the form of the front of a waistcoat, the strip however being only
of a few inches in width. One of these pieces is applied to each side of the jacket,
and is secured to the inner side. by means of buttons or of any other suitable
fastenings which allow the pieces to be easily removed. These detachable pieces are
furnished with buttons and button holes at the front, so that when the jacket is in use,
the extra pieces can be buttoned at the front giving exactly the appearance of a
waistcoat, allowing the jacket to be left open.
Owing to the parts being detachable fancy materials may be employed, so that
they may be changed when desired, this forming an important feature. The material
may of course be of the same kind as the coat or jacket.
This arrangement is especially useful for cyclists and tourists, as the appearance
of the ordinary waistcoat is given without the weight, thus rendering the
dress cool.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood,. reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view of the jacket open,
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the flaps or vestlet closed, and Fig. 3 shows one
of the fronts or pieces.
The inside of the coat A is provided with the rows of buttons a one row on each
side and placed at suitable distances within the front edges. Other fastenings such
as those commonly employed for gloves may of course be used in place of buttons.
The strips or waistcoat pieces B are furnished with the button holes b at one side
adapted to secure the pieces to the buttons at the inside of the jacket. They are also
provided with the buttons and button holes 6' allowing them to be secured together
in the manner commonly employed in waistcoats.
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) Strips of cloth or suitable dress material cut to give the appearance of a
waistcoat fitted detachably within the jacket or coat, substantially as and for the
purposes specified.
(2) The improved imitation waistcoat formed from two strips or pieces of cloth
cut to the shape of the waistcoat, buttoned inside the jacket or coat and changeable
at will, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and for
the purposes specified.

Improvements in and relating to Door Locks.
I, WILLIAM ESSEX, of London House, Bridge Road, Woolston, Southampton, in
the County of Hants, Boot 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:-
This invention for improvements in and relating to door locks has for its object
to provide a simple and efficient means for securing the handles of door locks to
the handle spindle and consists essentially in screw threading the end of the
spindle and securing the handle thereon by means of a collar nut fitting into a
corresponding housing or recess in the handle so as to leave the head of the nut
flush or nearly so with the surface of the handle.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings: Fig. 1 is a sectional side
elevation of a lock spindle with handles secured thereto, and Fig. 2 is an elevation
of the same.
Each end of the lock spindle a is reduced to form shouldered flats b and its end c
is screw threaded as shown. The handle d fits on the reduced flats b and is
recessed to form a housing for a collar nut e by means of which it is secured to
the spindle, the head of the nut being notched to receive a screw driver, and flush
or nearly so with the outside surface of the handle, when screwed up. Two holes
to fit a spanner or key may be substituted for the notch in the nut e.
A door handle fitted according to this invention will not be required to be
secured on the spindle by means of a screw passing through the same into the
spindle in the manner ordinarily adopted, such method being objectional by reason
of the ready disengagement of the screw due to the jarring of the door and frequent
turning of the handles.
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 a door lock spindle having a reduced and screw-threaded
end, a handle fitting on the reduced end and formed with a housing or recess to
receive a collar nut, and a collar nut fitting the screw-threaded end of the spindle
and the housing or recess in the handle and securing the handle to the spindle,
the whole arranged and constructed substantially as described and illustrated.
2. The method of securing door handles to lock spindles substantially as described
with reference to the drawings.

The present invention relates to a device for transmitting motion, for transport
purposes, by means of a wheel provided with paddles or buckets which dip into
the stream over which the device is arranged, whereby loads may be transported
against the current by means of the motive power of the water.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and
Fig. 2 a plan of the device.
It consists of a wheel W on a shaft A and carried by means of wheels R on
rails S placed on each side of a stream or water way X parallel to it and to each other.
As soon as the stream X rotates the wheel W in the direction of the arrow (on the
wheel), the wheels R move forward on the rails S in the direction opposite to that
of the current which latter is indicated by the arrow P, thus effecting the
propulsion of the wheel and the load that may be attached to it.
The constructional details of the new motive power device depend on circum-
stances and the requirements of each individual case.
In order to move the load up a steep incline, the wheels R may be toothed
wheels (as shown) engaging on both sides of the waterway with toothed racks
parallel to the latter and to each other. The same principle may be applied also
to wind-motors.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what
I claim is ;--
1. An improved device for transmitting motion consisting of a wheel provided

To clean the pipe the fuzee head or other charge is ignited by friction or other-
wise and the plug or cover immediately placed in or upon the pipe bowl, emptied
previously of any tobacco contained therein, the smoke and discharges from the
burning fuzee, or other charge, must then necessarily escape through the stem and
mouthpiece of the pipe and carry all nicotine and other deposits with them and
thereby effectually clean the pipe.
And in order that this invention may be fully understood I will describe same
with reference to the accompanying drawings and the letters and figures of refer-
ence marked thereon that is to say
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pipe cleaner constructed in accordance with this
invention shewing a single fuzee head or similar charge attached to the plug or
cover.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a plug or cover carrying three fuzee heads or charges
and Fig. 3 shews the cleaner in operation, the tobacco being drawn in section.
a is the plug or cover to which as seen in Figs. 1 and 3 a single charge or fuzee
head is attached. After use the plug is withdrawn and may be thrown away
or as shewn particularly in Fig. 2 the plugs or covers may be kept and be made
use of repeatedly, by constructing them with perforations therein into which the
stems of ordinary fuzees c are inserted.
Advertisements can be placed on the plugs or covers if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The new or improved tobacco pipe cleaner constructed substantially as herein-
bofe described and shewn.

A Manufacture of Electrodes for Electric Accumulators.
I, EDUARD MARCKWALD, of No. 11, Massen Strasse, Berlin, Germany, Doctor
of Philosophy, 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 manufacture of electrodes for electric-
accumulators.
According to my invention, I produce electrodes having great porosity, strength.
and insolubility, combined with high electromotive capacity and good conductivity,.
by the employment for their production of basic lead salts of organic acids. Of
those organic acids whose basic lead salts are applicable for this purpose, butyric
acid and lactic acid have more particularly been found advantageous.
The manufacture of electrode plates from basic butyrate of lead oxide is effected
as follows.
The butyric acid is diluted with so much water as to produce a 10 to 12 per cent..
solution of the acid, and to this solution is added from 5 to 7 times the quantity,.
relatively to the percentage of butyric acid, of finely powdered lead oxide,.
preferably under stirring.
The mixture thus obtained is introduced as rapidly as possible into the frames,.
gratings, or moulds intended for the reception of the electrode body, in which this
then hardens. If it be desired to accelerate the hardening of the mass, the frames,.
gratings, or moulds can also be warmed; but as such heating must be effected very
carefully, it is best dispensed with.
The basic lead salts of butyric acid which are suitable for the manufacture of
electrode plates correspond to the following formulæ :
crystallisation.
The manufacture of the electrode plates from basic lactate of lead oxide is.
effected in a precisely similar way to the manufacture with butyric acid compounds..
The same quantitative proportions can be used as with the butyric acid, as the
molecular weight of lactic acid is almost the same as that of butyric acid. The:
basic lead salts of lactic acid correspond to the following formulæ :-

page_text: The stated proportion between lead oxide and butyric acid or lactic acid
corresponds to the composition of the basic salts indicated by the above formulæ.
Instead of employing either butyric acid or lactic acid alone, a mixture thereof
may also be employed.
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 manufacture of electrode plates for electric accumulators consisting of the
'basic lead salts of butyric acid, or of lactic acid, or of both combined, substantially
:as herein described.

I, JOSEPH SPEIGHT, of Kirwee, in the Province of Canterbury, in the Colony of
New Zealand, Farmer, (& Engineer), do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for improvements in the driving gear for bicycles 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 been devised for the purpose of increasing the driving power
of bicycles, and also the speed thereof, but without any additional expenditure
of force on the part of the rider. To this end a lever of the second class has been
adapted to the working of bicycles as it is more powerful than the lever at
present in use, which is of the first class. The second class lever has its fulcrum
at one end the resistance or work to be done is in the middle (or between the
ends) and the power is at the other end.
The first class lever has the work or resistance at one end, the power is at the
other, and the fulcrum is between.
The potency of this invention lies in the fact that the second class lever works
the first class lever, both of which are non-rotating.
The drawings herewith show the working parts of the bicycle substantially as
they will be when ready for working. The letter D Fig. 1 shews the enclosed
ratchet; C shews the lever of the first class, extending from the rim of the
ratchet-box D. The second class levers are shewn by the letters A and B, one
end of each is attached to the pedal and the other end is attached to an additional
portion of the frame marked H. G is where the second class lever is connected
to the frame by a bearing. H is a piece of steel extending from frame M to G
(the point of attachment of second class lever. F points to where the first and
second class levers are connected.
The arrangement for the alternate action of the first and second class levers
is by a cord L which is connected with the first class levers Cat, a point
marked F so that the depressing of either of the second class levers elevates the
other. I is a grooved wheel over which the cord L runs. J and K are also
grooved pulley wheels over which the cord L runs.
The rider's feet will be placed on the ends of the levers A and B which at the
other ends are secured to the portion of frame of the Bicycle marked G and being

RAMSEY Manufacturers' Agent 61 Cheapside, E.C. HORACE JAMES Manufacturer
53 Burest Road Sheffield do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement: -
It consists in making a ball castor in any convenient shape or design having
either a top flange or socket as the case may be for the purpose of affixing the same
to a flat surface or to the leg of an article of furniture.
In the underside of the top flange or socket (a. Fig. 2.) an annular recess is
formed to admit being placed therein a flat disc (b. Fig. 1.). Underneath the
flat disc is placed a ball made of metal or any suitable material the same being held
in its place by a cap (d. Fig. 2) secured in any convenient manner to the top
flange or socket a. Fig. 2.
The flat disc (b Fig. 1) consists of a flat piece of
metal or any suitable material having three or more studs projecting downwards
from its undersurface and set apart from each other so that when the ball (e Fig. 2)
is pressed against the centre of the flat disc (b Fig. 1) the studs are close to but
slightly clear of the ball (e) consequently when the article to which the castor is
attached is moved, the ball is thrown in contact with the inner side of one of the
proiecting studs which happen to be in line of its revolution thus propelling the
ball with the smallest possible amount of resistance.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood, we send herewith drawing
in duplicate in which, Fig. 1, represents the plan of the flat disc and Fig. 2
represents a sectional elevation of the Castor wherein :-
a, represents the top flange or socket
b. the flat disc
:-
t, the annular recess
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
laim is
Firstly. In a ball castor the bearing over the ball consisting of a flat disc of
metal or any suitable material, having three or more projections or studs pro-
jecting from its under surface and so set apart for the particular purpose as sub-
stantially described and set forth in the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. -
Process for Utilizing Waste Hops and Malt from Breweries.
We, HEINRICI KRAUSZ, Merchant and LUDWIG VASS, Gentleman both of No. 7,
Gyomroi-ut Budapesth-Kobanya in the Kingdom of Hungary, do hereby declare
the nature of our said 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 process for utilizing the waste of hops and malt
residues;
such waste being left after the beer wort has been extracted.
For this purpose, the waste of the hops and malt is first pressed and then sub-
jected to a further extraction by means of water.
The liquid now withdrawn is boiled down more or less. A larger or smaller
quantity of yeast (for instance 25-50 decagrammes yeast for 100 litres of water)
is then added to the liquid and the same is allowed to ferment at a temperature
of 20-24° C. The mash made in such manner is finally distilled in an apparatus
adapted for this purpose. This process can and without departing from the spirit
of the invention, be modified in such manner that the liquid, produced from
fresh hops or malt or from the waste of hops and malt, is mixed with fermentable
substances or with such substances which are already fermented or are just on
the point of being fermented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. Process for utilizing the waste hops and malt consisting in boiling down
the liquid extracted from the pressed waste of hops and malt, mixing such liquid
with yeast (25-50 decagrammes yeast for 100 litres of water), allowing same to
ferment at a temperature of 20° 24° C and finally in distilling same in suitable
apparatus substantially as described.
2. A modifiction of the process described in Claim 1, consisting in mixing the
liquid produced from the waste of hops and malt or from fresh hops and malt
with fermentable substances or such substances which are already fermented or
are just on the point of being fermented substantially as described.
