Abstract: 21,456. Heap, C., and Oddy, T. Sept. 18. Bricks, building - blocks, and tiles.-In the making of these articles, chloride of magnesium silicate of soda, water, lime, and silica, with or without other materials, are employed and have incorporated with them some inert material to form bricks or tiles. Solutions of the first two ingredients are mixed, and to them may be added a small quantity of hydrochloric acid. From this mixture a gelatinous precipitate is got to which the silica and lime are added in the desired proportions. Broken or powdered inert materials are added with sufficient water to render the mass plastic for moulding purposes, The inert materials may consist of quarry, marble, or stone-cutting refuse, ground or broken glass, clinkers or bricks, asbestos, plaster of Paris, fine quartz, refuse sand from glass works, shale, retort scale, gravel, ironstone, clay, sand, earth, sawdust, hay, straw, cork, coco-nut fibre, silicious matter, destructor refuse, slagwool, furnace slag, sheet-iron cuttings, wood and paper pulp, paper cuttings, and the like.

Abstract: 12,386. Turner, H. H., and Turner. A., [Agar, J.]. June 2. Brims ; felt hats.-Relates to apparatus fcr curling the brims of felt hats. The brim of the hat H is curled between the heated rotary flanged wheel D and the rotary wheel E, which has a convex and serrated periphery and is mounted on a shaft C which is capable of a vertical and lateral movement by springs f, s, which act to press the wheel E upwardly against the flanged part of the wheel D. The brim, after passing between the wheels D, E, passes into the recessed part of a guide P, shown separately in Fig. 5, against the upper part of which the wheel E also presses the brim, and it then enters a supplementary curved and tapering curler q, Fig. 4, which gives to the bent brim a downward bend at its edge. In a modified form of apparatus, the lower part of the wheel D is dispensed with and replaced by a curved guide, which, not being heated, prevents the hat from being injured at that part which comes in contact with the lower part of the wheel D in Fig. 1. The shape of the guide and supplementary curler are also somewhat different, as shown in Figs. 11 and 15.
