Patent GB-189719418-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Matches adapted to Prepared Striking Surfaces.
Inventor: NEUBURG SIEGMUND
Filed: 1897-08-23
Granted: 1898-08-06
Abstract: 19,418. Neuburg, S., and Neuburg, I. Aug. 23. Matches; match - - striking surfaces. - Headless safety matches are made by dipping the ends of splints into an aqueous solution of sodium chlorate, a sulphate such as copperas, and gum arabic ; after the splints have been dried the heads are coated with a waterproofing-composition, preferably consisting of resin, turpentine, oleic acid, and linseed oil. The match-striking surfaces for use with the matches are formed by coating one or more sides of match boxes with a mixture of amorphous phosphorous, antimony, powdered glass, water, and gnm arabic. During the dipping operations, the splints are held together side by side in large disc-like bundles.

Patent GB-189803562-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Pitching Casks, Barrels, Kegs, and the like.
Inventor: RAUCH HENRY
Filed: 1898-02-12
Granted: 1898-12-31
Abstract: 3562. Ranch, H. Feb. 12. Coating casks.-In pitching casks, the pitch is placed in a reservoir 1, underneath which are tanks 4, which communicate with the reservoir 1 by means of valves 6 opening downwards. The pitch or like substance, which is heated by a furnace 2, is forced through pipes 8 into the casks X by means of compressed air passing through the pipes 7. The surplus flows back through the bungholes of the cask to the reservoir, and when the air pressure is removed the pitch flows from the reservoir 1 into the tanks 4. A grid 14 in the reservoir screens off rough lumps. The tubes 8 are telescopic, and actuated by springs 8<a> so as to yield under the pressure of the casks. To prevent accidents, the air valves 11, actuated by levers 12, have to be shut off before the casks can be removed. To prevent waste of the compressed air due to escape of the air after the operation is completed, a whistle 17 is blown when the pressure falls to a certain extent. Provision is made to allow the escape of g a s e s from the bottom of the tanks, when the solidified pitch is being heated. Modifications as to the arrangement of parts are described.

Patent GB-189805277-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Combined Piano Stool and Music Cabinet.
Inventor: BANES HENRY BOOZ
Filed: 1898-03-03
Granted: 1898-10-01
Abstract: 5277. Banes, H. B. March 3. Seats and stools; canterburies.-The body of the seat frame is divided into two compartments containing drawers which pull out end ways ; between these two compartments are two sockets 3 closed at the bottom and having flanges 5 at the top ; these flanges have lugs 7 working on rods 6. Small holes 16 allow the escape of air when the seats descend, the closed sockets thus forming an air cushion. The sockets 3 with their contained screw-ratchet stems 14 can thus be slid longitudinally. The stems 14 have heads 27 engaging slots on the undersides of the seats. By disengaging the spring catches 29, the seats can be slid transversely or longitudinally on the heads 27. Pawls 22 are feathered on shafts rotated by end knobs and work between cheeks on the flanges of the sockets 3. By rotating the shafts against springs 17, the pawls are disengaged and the seats can be lowered. The seats can be adjusted by rotating them or by disengaging the pawls. The seats can be locked together by a bolt 33 engaging straps 38 on rotatable discs 37, but this bolt does not prevent one of the seats from being raised or moved longitudinally independently of the other. The drawers and the compartment 39 serve for containing music.

Filed: 1898-10-07
Granted: 1899-08-19
Abstract: 21,161. Rennoldson, W. L. Oct. 7. S a d d l e supports ; mounting and dismounting, facilitating. -T h e invention is specially applicable to ladies' and military cycles, and is shown in Fig. 1 as applied to a bicycle. The saddle support B slides in the pillar A against the action of a spring C, and carries a notched bar D working in guides E, E<1>. A double-ended pawl H fitted with a movable tripper J engages the notches. The arm J is connected to a spring K. The saddle, when depressed, i s held down by the pawl. Before mounting the arm J is swung over as shown, so that a pressure on the saddle releases the pawl and throws its upper end into action. The support is raised by the spring, and locked by the pawl. In a modification, the bar D is dispensed with, notches being formed in the saddle support. In this case, a pawl is used to keep the saddle raised, the pawl carrying a hook which engages a catch fixed to the cross-bar of the support when the saddle is depressed.
