I DAVID LANG, of 45 Golden Lane Barbican in the City of London, Indiarubber
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a comunication to me from
abroad by François Joseph Garnier and Nicolas Juré, both of 216 Rue du Progrès,
Schaerbeck, Brussels, in the Kingdom of Belgium 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 pipe joint whereby a perfectly tight joint may
be obtained without liability of leakage; and it consists of a thimble or short tube
fitting easily within the bores of the pipe ends to be joined, said thimble having a
flange of dovetail or equivalent section which, whilst taking the pressure by which the
pipe ends are drawn together, affords room for the packing between its undercut faces
and the pipe ends, the form of the space within which the packing is contained being
such that it cannot be forced out, but renders the joint the tighter the greater the
internal pressure.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.
wherein Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the pipe joint. Figure 2 is an
edge, and figure 3 a face view, of the flanged thimble separately. The same letters of
reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
a a are the ends of the pipe to be coupled, is the ferrule or short tube or ring, of
cast iron or other metal, corresponding in form to the sectional form of the pipes and
fitting easily in the bore thereof, so as to leave space between the ferrule and the pipe
for the packing. c is an external circumferential flange at the middle of the length of
the ferrule and cast in one therewith. It is of dovetailed or equivalent undercut form
in cross-section, as shewn in figure 1, and it comes between the faces of the flanged
ends of the pipes which are drawn together tightly against the external thicker portion
of the flange c by bolts and nuts, as shewn, thus imprisoning the packing of red-lead,
tow, or other plastic or fibrous material in the space between the flange and the pipe
ends and between the circumference of the thimble and the bore of the pipe.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is ;-
A pipe joint formed by a thimble or short tube or ring having an external flange of
dovetailed or undercut form in section, the thimble fitting in the pipes and the flange
intervening between the pipe ends and affording space for the packing between the
undercut faces of the flange and the pipe ends, substantially as described and shewn
in the drawings.

Improvements in Guards for Beds, Berths, and the like.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, M.I.M.E.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The invention has for its object to provide a guard that may be attached to the side
rail of a bed or berth and raised up at night to prevent the sleeper from rolling or being
thrown out of the couch, and that may also be folded down upon the bed rail and
present a neat and unobjectionable appearance when not in use.
Referring to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification and
to which reference will be had;
Fig. 1 represents the guard combined with the side rail of a berth; the view is a
front elevation and represents the guard as folded down upon the rail in the position
it occupies when not in use.
Fig. 2 is a similar view and represents the guard elevated in the position it occupies
when in use.
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3, 3 and fig. 4 is a section on line 4, 4.
The guard comprises rail A and the links a, a, the links are pivotted at one end to
the bed rail B and one end to the guard rail A so that when not in use the whole may
he folded down behind the berth rail as represented in figure I of the drawings. A
portion of the rail A is projected forward from the main part of the rail to form the
lip or ribe. This lip e operates to arrest the downward progress of the guard while
folding as it comes upon and is unable to pass the links while in the folded position
as more fully illustrated in figure 1 of the accompanying drawings. It also serves as a
convenient means to lay hold of in lifting the guard to the elevated position as
represented in the figure 2 of the drawings.
In use the guard is elevated to the position it occupies in the figure 2 and is held
there by a suitable hook or hasp F.

the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-..
The Post Office Resistance Box is a well known instrument much employed for
measuring the resistance of telegraph circuits by an application of the principle of
the Wheatstone Bridge.
My method of compensating post office resistance boxes for change of temperature
consists in making the resistance coils of the middle arm (that arm which is connected
to the adjustable resistance and the battery on the one side, and to the other ratio arm
and the galvanometer on the other) of a material or materials such that the
temperature.coefficient of the middle arm is double that of the rest of the coils in
the box.
The drawing annexed represents in diagrammatic form a Post Office Resistance box
as arranged for measuring a resistance S. R is the adjustable resistance, P is the
arm connected, with S-Q is the middle arm or the arm not directly connected with S.
g is the galvanometer and 6 is the battery.
When the balance has been found by adjusting R the equation gives S
P.R
This gives the value of S correctly only if the box be at its normal temperature
(Bay If the temperature is to the real values of P Q R are their nominal
values multiplied by (1+ at) where a is the temperature coefficient of the resistance
of the material of which the coils are made. The real value of S will therefore
P (1+at) R (1+ at)
be-
Q (1 + a¹t)
If now we make the coefficient a¹ of the coils in the arm Q equal to twice a.

whatever be the temperature of the box within
reasonable limits, if a be small.

page_text: Platinoid can be obtained having a temperature coefficient of .00022 and German
silver having à temperature coefficient of .00044; such materials are suitable. Or by
combining two metals in series say for example wires of platinoid and silver, the
temperature coefficient may be adjusted as 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 :-
Compensating Resistance Boxes for changes of temperature substantially as herein
described by making the resistance coils of the middle arm of a material or materials
such that the temperature coefficient of the coils in this arm is double that of the rest
of the coils in the box.

JAMES SAMPLE of 12 Harrison Place in the City and County of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne Watchmaker 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 of a fringe, tassel,, or, ribbon, made of silk or any other
suitable material for attaching in rotation to the edges of Music leaves so as the
bottom fringe or tassel is fixed on the first leaf required, the second fringe or tassel
being placed on the second or next leaf required an inch higher than the first or the
distance according to desire, and so on consecutively for as many leaves as are
required, or the above order could be reversed so as the top tassel or fringe could be
placed on the first leaf and the second or next fringe or tassel below it.
Another method could be by fixing a rosette or tassel on or near the top or bottom
corner of the face of the leaf required to be turned over instead of projecting as
a fringe.
Another method could be in the making of the music leaves to leave a slight
projection on each leaf one above the other.
The fringe tassel or rosette can be affixed by gummed paper, linen or leather or
other suitable substance or by steel or brass fasteners.
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,
First. The application of tassels, fringe or ribbon made of silk or any other suitable
material to the leaves of music.
Second. The application of rosettes on the face of leaves of music.
Third. In the Manufacture of Music leaves to have a slight projection on each leaf
particularly as described in the Specification.

page_text: I, Francis Ley of the Vulcan Iron Works, Derby, Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention the parts which receive the greatest amount of wear are
made separate so that they can be renewed from time to time and can also be more
conveniently casehardened.
The links consist of three bars, two side bars inclining slightly to each other, con-
nected together by a semi-cylindrical end bar. A bush or liner is passed through
circular holes in the two side bars and goes inside the semi-cylindrical bar leaving
half its surface exposed, so that the wear comes upon it and not on the link itself. The
ends of the side bars of one link embrace the ends of the end bar of the next
link and the two links are connected together by a pin which passes through
the bush.

page_text: The drawings show a pair of links constructed according to my invention which are
connected together at one end.
Figure 1 is a plan.
Figure 2 is a vertical section on the line X, X, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevation, and
Figures 4 show detached views of the liner and pin.
Each link consists of two side bars a a connected together by the semi-cylindrical
bar the shape of which is, shown in section at Figure 2. These three parts are
preferably cast in one piece. c is a bush or liner which can be inserted through
circular holes in the ends of the bars a and lies in the semi-cylindrical bar b. It is
prevented from turning by a rib which runs along the bottom of the trough bas
shown but other means may be adopted. It is prevented from escaping longitudinally
by the side bars of the next link. The two links are secured together by a pin d
which passes through the liner c. The pin d is provided at one end with a head d
which lies in a recess at at the side of one of the bars a, its other end is square and is
secured with a key e as shown.

page_text: 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 1
claim is :-
1. A chain for working on chain wheels in which the wearing portions of the bars
connecting the side links are made removable substantially as described.
2. In a chain for working on chain wheels the combination of the parts b, c and d
substantially as described.
3. A chain for working on chain wheels substantially as described and shown in the
drawings.

I construct my improved back of neck collar shirt stud so as to prevent the necktie,
neckerchief or scarf from rising up or slipping out of the position the wearer
desires.
Premising that many have their shirts fastened at the collar in front of the neck by
a stud which at the same time attaches the collar to the shirt, many have in addition
to this front stud one at the back of the neck which attaches the moveable collar to
the shirt at the back of the neck, and it is to this latter stud that my improvements
relate.
It is a stud of the usual construction which connects or attaches the moveable
collar to the shirt at the back of the neck but has either affixed to it or may be made
out of the substance a hook, hooks, hoop, tail or tongue made of metal or any material
suitable for the purpose so formed and arranged as to retain the necktie neckerchief
or scarf in its proper position and from rising out of its desired place.
The accompanying drawings show both side and front views of the different forms
indicated above. Figures 1 and 2 show side views of the single and double hook form
respectively, front views of these two forms being represented by figures 1 A and 2 A
respectively. The side and front view of the hoop form aro shown by figures 3
and 3 A, while the tail or tongue form are indicated in the side and front view
by figures 4 and 4 A. although I do not confine myself to these precise forms
literally.
