COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Adjustable Fire-bridge for Furnaces.
1, JOHANNES CARL AMANDUS MARCKMANN of 15 Johannisbollwerk, Hamburg,
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, aud 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 fire-bridge which is adjustable vertically from the
outside of the furnace in such a manner that the height of the opening above the
bridge can be varied at pleasure.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation, at the line A-A of Figure 4, of the fireplace of a furnace
provided with a fire-bridge constructed in accordance with my invention, certain
parts being shown in section,
Figure 2 a sectional elevation on line B-B of Figure 4,
Figure 3 a similar section on line C-C of Figure 4, which latter figure shows
the fire-bridge as seen from behind, and
Figures 5 and 6 are detached views of certain parts.
The fire-bridge consists of a rectangular block a formed of firebricks or other
suitable fire-resisting material contained in an iron casing b. It is arranged so that
it can be adjusted vertically, and for that purpose is guided in front by the iron
standard c carrying the fire-bars and behind by the bars or brackets d one of which
is shown separately in Figure 5. These bars or brackets are fixed to the
standard c. The vertical adjustment of the fire-bridge is effected by means of
toothed racks e which are fixed to the back and bottom of the iron casing b of the
fire-bridge (see Figures 3, 4 and 6) and gear with corresponding toothed wheels or
pinions fixed on a horizontal shaft g arranged behind the fire-bridge. This shaft
has also fixed on it a worm wheel which is rotated by means of a worm the
shaft of which may be operated from the outside of the furnace by means of a
suitable handle l.
It will now be understood that by turning the handle the fire-bridge can be
raised or lowered within the prescribed limits; and the fire thereby regulated to
the best advantage.
The above described adjustable bridge is applicable generally to furnaces; but
more especially to those of steamship and other boilers.
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 :-
First. An adjustable fire-bridge consisting of a block a b movable in guides c d
behind the fire bars, the up and down movements of the said block being effected
from outside the furnace by means of toothed gearing ef hi or other similar means,
substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Water Trap for Collecting Water from Supply of
Compressed Air.
I, PETER BROTHERHOOD, of Belvedere Road, Lambeth, in the County of
Surrey, 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 :-
In compressing air a certain amount of water is used in the compressing pumps
to fill up certain parts of the pumps and to keep the packings &c. moist, aud when
such compressed air is used for certain purposes, such as for charging torpedoes,.
it is essential to have the compressed air as free from moisture as possible.
My present invention relates to an improved water trap for attaining this object,
which I will describe referring to the accompanying drawing which is a vertical
section of an apparatus constructed according to my invention. It consists of two
vessels A B placed side by side and connected together at top and bottom.
The compressed air entering at the inlet C has to travel down the pipe C¹ so
that any water or moisture accompanying same drops to the bottom of the vessel A.
The air escaping from the bottom of the pipe C₁ finds its way through the con-
nection D at the top of the vessel A to the top of the vessel B and thence through
a valve outlet Y to the torpedo reservoir or other reservoir to be charged.
The valve Y of this outlet is mounted on a float F which is supported by a
spring S of sufficient strength to more or less balance the weight of said float.
The bottom of the vessel A is provided with a valved outlet O by which the water
that accumulates in the vessel A drains off. Should this outlet become choked or
the valve not permit of the water escaping with sufficient rapidity, then the water
rising in the vessel A and to the same level in B through the connection E at
bottom, causes the float F to rise, thus shutting off the outlet Y to the reservoir.
The top of the vessel A is provided with a pressure gauge and an alarm valve by
which the attention of the operator is drawn to the fact that the water is not
escaping with sufficient rapidity, when the closure of the valve Y by reason of
the float rising, causes the pressure in the vessels A and B to rise above a certain
degree.
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 trap for collecting water from a supply of compressed air, consisting of a
vessel having an inlet for compressed air at top and a discharge opening for water
at bottom, which vessel communicates at top and bottom with a chamber having a
discharge opening for the air controlled by a float valve so that on the water rising
beyond a certain level in the vessel the float valve will rise and shut off the air
discharge substantially as described.

A communication from abroad by VICTOR CHARLES PAUL DUCUP DE SAINT-
PAUL, of 8 Rue du Faubourg Poissonière, Paris, France.
I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE, of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the County of
London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent, 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 arrangement of double-piano that is to say a piano
having two keyboards entirely independent of each other. The piano, which does
not occupy more space than a piano, as ordinarily made, comprises two actions, two
sets of strings, one, or two, sound boards, and two keyboards, of which latter one
may be constructed to lift up and down; the arrangement being such as to enable
different persons to play pieces four or eight handed, in concert, on one instrument.
One or the other of the keyboards may be employed at will, or they may be played on
both together, without necessitating special music for this purpose. To facilitate
an understanding of the invention reference is had to the accompanying drawing,
which is a section of a duplex piano according to the invention. As shown, the
instrument comprises a fixed keyboard a, a movable keyboard 6 pivoted at b¹, two
actions c and d, two sets of strings e and f, two sound board g and h, a frame with
wrest-plank i carrying the pins and provided with two bars j and k connected
together by means of bolts 1, a beam or string-plate m to which the lower ends of
the strings are attached and which extends the entire length of the piano and serves
for the two sets of strings e and f.
It is to be understood that if desired the instrument may have only one sound
board instead of two, that both keyboards may be either fixed or movable, or one
fixed and the other movable; and that the pedals, in the case of a movable
keyboard, may be arranged in such a manner as to be capable of being raised,
similarly to the keyboard. It is also to be noted that means may be employed for
communicating motion to both actions at the same time from one keyboard only
with the object of obtaining more sound. As will be obvious the forms, dimensions,
and materials employed in the construction of double-pianos, according to this
invention may be varied without altering in any way the essential nature of the
invention.
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 --
1. A piano constructed with two actions and two sets of strings substantially as
hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
2. The improved piano shewn in and described in reference to the annexed
drawing.

I, OTTO GAERTIG, of 11, Mendelssohnstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
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 improved mouthpiece is so constructed that it may be used for cigars as
well as for cigarettes, that is to say, it is adapted to hold equally well cigars and
cigarettes of all usual sizes. For this purpose it is provided with two sockets of
different diameters in the opposite ends, of the part which may be termed the bowl,
the bores of which sockets communicate centrally with the tube or stem of the
holder, whereby however either of the sockets may be closed by means of an
inserted plug when the other is to be used.
The mouthpiece is represented in the annexed drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows a
longitudinal section, Fig. 2 a cross section of the same.
The bowl A has at its opposite ends the sockets B and B' respectively of
different diameters the former of which is intended to receive cigars, the latter being
destined for cigarettes. The bores b, b' coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the
bowl terminate at the centre in a hollow space which is closed by a hollow plug D,
said plug having a lateral aperture or two apertures d, d¹ (Fig. 2) with an
inclination towards each other of 90 degrees, so that by turning the plug in any
case only one of the sockets B, B₁ or the axial bores 6, 61 respectively can be set in
communication with the mouth tube or stem E. When the lower socket B¹ of the
smaller diameter is to be used, it is turned upward while the plug D is turned so
that the opening d meets the bore b¹.
These mouthpieces may be constructed in various forms; instead of the two
apertures d, d' in the plug D only one may be employed; plug D may further be
so arranged as to lie at a right angle to its present position.
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 :-
An improved mouthpiece for cigars and cigarettes, comprising a bowl having two
sockets B and B¹ of different diameters, said sockets meeting with their axial
continuations in a hollow space and adapted to be closed by an inserted hollow
plug with an aperture or two lateral apertures for permitting communication of
either of the sockets with the mouth tube or stem, substantially as described and
illustrated.

Previous to this tray being used the innerside thereof is greased after which
liquid napthaline is poured into it about half filling the said tray. Sawdust is
then riddled falling upon the napthaline in the dish, such sawdust gravitating
into and blending with the napthaline.
When the dish is filled with the ingredients the top surface is scraped with a bar
so as to make the substances smooth and of equal thickness.
The dish is afterwards removed to a cooling place where the composition sets.
The substance hardens and sets in the form of a slab which is removed and broken
into parts. The elevated ridges in the subdivided dish having formed corresponding
recesses or indents in the slab, permits the said slab to be broken in suitable sizes
to be wrapped ready for sale.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-

I, HANS MÜLLER-HICKLER, Manufacturer of Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany
Hirschgraben 14 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 :-
Until now one used for decorations of windows, doors and the like painted glass-
panes in the most different fashions and also one produced windows artistically
ground, representing scenes taken from the life of men and animals.
I have made it possible to have the two aforesaid processes combined together,
inasmuch as I grind first the portions of the glass, which in the painting were to
appear prominent, and, only after that the grinding is done with, undertake in the
ground parts the process of painting.
Fig. 1 represents a front-view of a glass-decoration made according to the
aforesaid process.
Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the same.
By using this process, there can be produced glass-decorations showing
representations as well of men and of animals as of flowers and the like, as to
be seen in the accompanying drawing.
These representations, owing to the grinding, which has taken place before the
process of painting, possess almost the appearance of being natural, because the
light, owing to the grinding, is reflected in such a manner that the spectator believes
that the figures possess material extension.
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 herein described process of making glass-decorations for windows, doors and
the like, which consists in first grinding the parts which in the painting shall appear
prominent and thereafter undertaking the process of painting.

page_text: The difference between the apparatus shewn in Figs. 4, 5, and 6 and the one
hereinabove described is as follows :-
F
In the place of the shell b there is a cylinder the front end of which is fitted
with a stud m. Opposite this front end and at the other end of the tube b' is
placed the striking plate c¹, which is provided with a conical depression, so that the
quick match or fuse a can be easily pushed up as far as the percussion cap. Over
the cylinder there is a tube el having a sufficiently wide slit to permit of the end of
the quick match being properly arranged. The end of the tube e' is provided with
a bottom n having a semicircular slit o one end of which is widened so as to allow
the head of the stud m to pass through. As shewn in Figs. 5 and 6 the tube e¹
can be fastened to the cylinder end 7 by turning it in the proper direction; it can
also be readily removed if necessary for the purpose of cleaning the cylinder and
the striking-plate. Before firing, the tube el is turned in such a way as to close
the cylinder by making the slit coincide with the back of the cylinder b¹.
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 process of igniting quick matches or fuses by inserting the same in a
protecting shell or cylinder and firing it by means of a percussion cap, thereby
preventing the emission of sparks or flames substantially as described.
2. For use in the process claimed in Claim 1, an apparatus consisting essentially
of a shell b which serves to receive that end of the quick match or fuse which
projects from the blast hole, the perforated striking plate c, the closely fitting shell g
which can easily and quickly be fastened to or detached from the shell b and the
striking pin i for firing the percussion cap, all arranged and operating in such
manner as to prevent the sparks from the burning fuse or quick match, and flames
from the percussion cap reaching the outside of the case, substantially as described
and shewn.
3. For use in the process claimed in Claim 1 an apparatus consisting essentially
of a cylinder 6 which serves to receive that end of the quick match or fuse which
projects from the blast hole, the perforated striking plate c', the closely fitting
shell g which can easily and quickly be fastened to or detached from the cylinder b¹,
and the striking pin i for firing the percussion cap, all arranged and operating in
such manner as to prevent sparks from the burning fuse or quick match, and flames
from the percussion cap reaching the outside of the case, substantially as described
and shewn.
4. In combination with apparatus as claimed in Claims 2 and 3, the enclosing
tube e or el which may be turned so as to cause a slit for f¹ either to coincide with
a similar slit in the shell or cylinder b or b¹, or to cover it, substantially as
described and shewn.

Apparatus for Controlling Electric Ourrents.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & CO. LIMITED, of 12 Queen Anne's Gate,
Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, Electrical Engineers, 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 means of protecting electric motors or other electric
apparatus from injury that might result from currents of too great strength as we
shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view partly in section and Fig. 2 is a part front view of apparatus
according to this invention.
a is a bracket which is in electrical connection with the source of electricity and
which holds a carbon block b. Another carbon block c is carried by a lever d
which is pivotted on a standard k and has its opposite arm engaged in a slot in the
upper part of an iron core e which upper part can slide within a stationary brass
yoke i. The core e can slide within a brass tube which lines a wooden bobbin ou
which is coiled insulated wire g one end of which is connected by to the
standard k, and the other end by a conductor h¹ to a motor M or other apparatus
which is to be protected against excess of electrical energy.
While the current is of normal strength the blocks b and c remain in contact and
current passes by d kh g and h¹ to M. When there is an increase of energy, the
core e descends raising c away from towards a position such as c¹ thus striking an
arc the resistance of which reduces the energy transmitted to M. When the
energy is increased beyond a certain limit to which the switch is adjusted, as for
instance by a sudden closing of circuit or an accidental short circuiting, the core e
is rapidly drawn down causing the lever d and block c to fly over to the
position, the circuit being thus opened, and remaining open until the lever is
moved back.
Instead of carbon, other materials might be used for the contact blocks, but
carbon is preferred as the arc formed between the carbons when they are apart is
most suitable for resistance.
A safety switch operating in some measure in the manner above set forth is
described in our previous Specification No. 14,647 of 1892, but in that apparatus
when the circuit is opened by excess of energy there are no means of keeping it
open as in a switch arranged according to the present invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
clain is :-
Apparatus for controlling electric currents constructed and operating substantially
as described with reference to the drawings.
