Patent GB-189812564-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for the Production of Embossed or Bas-relief Photographs.
Inventor: FARIS IRWIN
Filed: 1898-06-04
Granted: 1898-08-13
Abstract: 12,564. Faris, I., and Mason, F. W. Nov. 5, A.D. 1897, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Embossing photographs.-Relates to a method of producing embossed or bas-relief photographs. A photographic print is gummed face upwards upon a thin sheet of lead or other suitable metal. The outlines of the picture are then traced on the lead by a stylus ; the print is now removed, and the embossing is completed by a stylus operating on the front and back of the lead. A mould of the embossed lead is made in plaster of Paris, and into this mould softened gutta-percha is placed. The gutta-percha when hard is used as a die, or the lead plate supported by the gutta-percha packing may be used as a die. The print to be embossed is fixed to a frame of cardboard, and pressed on the die by some soft yielding substance such as flour or chalk, tissue paper being interposed between the print and the soft material. Before mounting the bas-relief photographs they may be filled in or stiffened at the back with beeswax. If the face of the lead bas-relief be covered with gutta-percha, it may be used as a mould. Several modifications are described, in which the various elements described above are combined in different ways.

Title: A New or Improved Compound Metallic Packing Ring for Stuffing-boxes and the like.
Inventor: GOLD HENRY JACKSON
Filed: 1898-10-01
Granted: 1899-08-05
Abstract: 20,711. Gold, H. J. Oct. 1. Stuffing-boxes.-The invention consists of metallic packing-rings made in two pieces 2 and 3 so that their adjacent surfaces fit together but are eccentric to the axis of the piston-rod. The parts are thus thinner at one side than at the other, but they are assembled so that the thickest part of the one is opposite the thinnest part of the other, the compound ring being thus concentric with the aforesaid axis. The inner part is made of soft metal such as white metal, and the outer one of a harder material, and they may be divided where they are thinnest so as to be more readily compressible. The rings may be used in the stuffing-box in any ordinary way. According to the method shown two of them are used. They are bevelled on one side and placed in a casing 1, which is also bevelled at 1<1>, a correspondinglyshaped ring 4 being interposed between them.

Title: Process of Manufacturing Cyanides.
Inventor: DZIUK AUGUST
Filed: 1899-03-16
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 5758. Dziuk, A. March 16. Sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, magnesium, and iron salts. - Consists in the production of cyanides of the alkaline-earth metals, including magnesium, by acting upon the carbides of these metals, whilst in the molten state, at from 1300‹ to 3000‹ C. in an electric furnace, with a current of pure nitrogen gas which has been previously heated to a high temperature and is preferably under pressure.

Sweeping-machines; elevating sweepings into carts. -In addition to the usual oblique rotary brush F, a brush G, G, consisting of a number of brushes mounted on endless chains E<x>, is provided to sweep the refuse over a series of slippers H into a hopper A<1>, whence they are raised by an elevator L<1> and passed to the cart M. The brushes on the endless chains may be alternately whole and half width, and the chains are driven by a clutch and bevel and sprocket-wheel gear from one of the road wheels Cx. To cause the brushes to sweep along the ground and then up the slippers H, the sleeve axle E<2> of the sprocket-wheels E' is carried by a bracket D<3>, adjusted with the rods J', by means of the screw J<3> at one end, and slotted bars J' and clamping-nuts J<2x> at the other. Spring-mounted guide-wheels H<4> give the requisite bend in the chains. The brushes F, G are relatively adjustable. The elevator consists of a series of scrapers L, L mounted on endless chains, the upper guide-wheels L<5> of which have their bearings L" adjustable by screws L<10>. The chain is driven by chain gear from the road wheel. The sweepings are carried up a central compartment, the floor of which is a sheet of glass bedded on felt. The brushes and elevator are provided with raising and lowering mechanism, operated by the handle J<6> and hand-wheel N<6> respectively. To connect the tip-cart M so that its distance can be increased when turning the machine round, the coupling 0, O<1> has a chain O<2> winding on a drum on the axis of a toothed wheel 0<6> provided with a crown ratchet 0<10>.

Abstract: 16,284. Freese, E., Levy, L., Marks, A., and Rosen, H. L. Aug. 13. Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-The neck of the bottle &c. is contracted at A<5> to support the tubular casing H, which is formed with a seat H<5> for the swinging valve 01, and contains a heavy sliding valve L, having a recess L<2>. The casing H supports a tubular plug G, through which passes the wedge shaped stem D<2> of the valve D, the stem D<2> being engaged by a sliding wedge F. The valve D is recessed on the top, and carries a conical weight E, or a heavy ball, these parts being protected by a cap C enclosed in a tube, which rests on the flange of the plug G. The outer end of this tube is closed by a cork A<4>, and the valve mechanism is secured in the neck by cement introduced into the annular space A<3>, a packing K of medicated cotton &c. forming a joint at the lower end of the casing H. The casing C has a conical top and outlet ports C<6>, and is formed with external staggered projections or segments, which prevent tampering with the valves, while providing passages between them for the outflow of the liquid. The ports C<6> are normally closed by the valve D, and the passages H<1> in the casing H by the valve L. The valves are seated when the bottle is upright or horizontal, but, when the bottle is inverted, the valve O<1> opens and displaces the valve L, which then releases the wedge F and opens the valve D, so that the liquid can flow out through the passages H<5>, H<1>, G<1>, C<6>, &c. A packing P prevents leakage at the junction of the cap C and plug G. In a modification, the tube is integral with the cap C, and has a flange overlying the end of the neck, ports being formed in the tube for the introduction of the cement.
