We EDGAR SIDDONS WILSON of Arthog, Goddington Road, Strood, in the
County of Kent, Chemist; and EBENEZER STEWART of 94 Queen Victoria Street
in the City of London, Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
The object of our invention is to obtain a soap principally for toilet use which
shall possess special emollient properties, in which any excess of alkali which
might damage the skin is neutralized, and in which any excess of fatty matter
present shall be in a condition in which it will not be liable to turn rancid.
For this purpose, by the process technically known as milling, we incorporate
with soap prepared in any usual manner, meal obtained by grinding Linseed or
other oil seeds; or by grinding the cake or material left after such seeds have
been pressed or otherwise treated, to extract oil therefrom.
The oil in the meal neutralizes any excess of alkali in the soap and provides
excess of fatty matter in a condition not liable to rancidity.
The term Oil-seeds" as employed by us includes any oil-producing. nuts,.
such as Almonds, Ground-nuts, and the like.

Improved Process for Producing Fuel from Turf or Peat.
I, WILLIAM SCHÖNING, of Stamsund, Lofoten, Norway, 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:-
My invention relates to an improved process for producing fuel from turf or
peat as hereinafter described.
According to my invention the turf or peat is dried and cut into oblong
pieces of equal size and of a suitable thickness, it is then placed between
heated iron plates, rollers or presses, which under a great pressure squeeze the
turf or peat together, while at the same time it is heated to a temperature of
carbonization.
Under the experiments made by the inventor, the pressure has been so great,
that the finished blocks of fuel have only had a fifth of the thickness of the pieces
of turf or peat.
I prefer to employ flat plates, arranged in such manner, that the lowest plate,
on which the turf or peat is placed, is firm, and the upper one movable. Both
plates being at a red heat the turf or peat is placed on the lower plate, the upper
one is lowered with a heavy pressure, after which the turf or peat being
compressed enough the said plate is raised again, and the blocks of fuel removed
and cooled.
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 improved process for producing blocks of fuel from turf or peat by
compressing the said turf or peat between heated plates, rollers or presses
substantially as described.

Process for Preventing the Escape of Carbonic Acid and other
Volatile Matters from Beer in Casks
I, HUGO GRONWALD, of 32 Schönhauser Allee, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, Apothecary, 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 the prevention of the escape of carbonic acid, and
other volatile matters, from beer contained in wooden casks, during the transport
of the same from place to place, without the employment of the cooling means
heretofore in use.
It is well known that the wooden casks in which beer is contained and trans-
ported from place to place are more or less porous, and that the carbonic acid and
other volatile matters originally contained in the beer are liable to escape through
the casks especially during transit by ship or railway. The object of the present
invention is to provide means for preventing this escape, and for this purpose
I enclose the casks containing the beer in airtight chambers or tanks charged with
carbonic acid at a higher pressure than that to which the liquid in the casks is
liable to be subjected even when submitted to abnormally high temperature as in the
tropics for example.
It is advisable to enclose in each airtight chamber or tank only those casks that
are intended for delivery at one place, inasmuch as the chamber or tank should
not be opened until it reaches its final destination, unless there are means provided,
at the place where the opening is effected, for recharging the chamber or tank with
carbonic acid.
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 :-
The process for preventing the escape of carbonic acid and other volatile
matters from beer in casks, while being transported from place to place, which
consists in enclosing the casks containing the beer in airtight chambers or tanks
charged with carbonic acid at a higher pressure than the contents of the said casks,
substantially as described.

Improvements in and connected with the Chain Wheels of Velocipedes
and other Vehicles.
I, PHILIP CHARLES LAWLESS, of 43, Mountjoy Square, Dublin, Ireland, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a novel construction of chain wheels, wherein I substitute
for the teeth or spur of ordinary chain or sprocket wheels, independent moveable
parts free to oscillate or rotate as the chain is engaged with the wheel or is disengaged
therefrom, for the purpose of reducing friction.
The axes on which these moveable parts turn are parallel with that of the chain wheel
and are secured in suitable openings formed in the thickness of the latter wheel close
to its periphery while they extend across the same. These parts may assume a
circular or other suitable form and in the latter case they may be pivotted at a con-
venient distance from their centre so as to allow them a certain amount of play for the
purpose of further relucing friction.
The portion of the periphery of the chain wheel adjacent to these moveable parts
is removed to prevent friction between the block or roller part of the chain such
peripheral portion as the chain being wound on or off the chain wheel.

I, PHILIP CHARLES LAWLESS of 43 Mountjoy Square, Dublin, Ireland, 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.
This invention has reference to chain wheels for velocipedes and other vehicles and
its chief object is to reduce friction.
According to my invention I substitute rollers or other suitable movable devices
for the fixed teeth or spurs as ordinarily employed on chain or sprocket wheels. These
rollers or devices, as and when the chain is engaging or disengaging therefrom rotate
or move on axes parallel with the axis of the wheel. The axes of the said rollers or
devices are pins which are secured across gaps or openings recessed in the periphery
of the wheel.
The movable devices are preferably of circular form and when circular are
mounted concentrically on their axes.
The parts of the wheel where the chain would otherwise rest next to the movable
devices are hollowed out so as to prevent friction between the ends of the block parts

Improved Process of Beating and Mixing Syrup.
I, JOHN WERNER, of No. 8 The Highlands (Street) in the City of Rochester,
in the County of Monroe and State of New York, United States of America,
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 improvement relates to a process of beating and mixing syrup into cream
for confectioners' use. This work has usually been done by hand on a marble slab
by the use of a spatula, or by revolving arms which simply stir the syrup. The
work is very slow and laborious, and the product is imperfect as it is not well
beaten. The object of my invention is to grind the syrup into a frothy mass by
passing it through a case provided with spirally ribbed rollers.
In the drawings-
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the apparatus by which the work is done, the cover
being removed;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal, vertical section of the same;
Fig. 3 is a cross section.
A is a casing, in which are located two rollers B B, the same being spirally
ribbed so as to throw the syrup to the center and work it longitudinally through
the machine. The syrup is placed in a hopper a at one end of the machine and
discharged through a spout 6 at the other end. During its passage it is ground
and cut up by the rollers and is discharged in a creamy and frothy mass, ready for
use after being cooled. The rollers are driven by gearing of any suitable kind.
If desired the rollers may be duplicated and arranged in two sets one above the
other with a partition between them, the advantage being that the machine can be
of less length, but the result is the same as where two rollers alone are used.
By the process of grinding the syrup as above described it is more thoroughly
disintegrated and broken up than when mixed by hand, or beating by revolving
arms, and a much better product results and the work is done in much less time,
and at reduced cost.
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 process herein described of treating syrup, which consists in passing it
through a case provided with spirally ribbed rollers which feed it longitudinally
of the case and grind it into a frothy mass, as and for the purpose specified.

The upper part of the spring C. forms a handle by which it is raised from
the ground, thus allowing the cycle to move, indicated by the letter E.
The appliance is fixed on the cycle tube, by the clip B. always at right angles
with the machine.
The spring C. is made of a piece of steel which passes through the holes at the
points D. and when it is in position it acts as a pliable spring or fork, and holds
the cycle upright.
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

A New or Improved Protective Covering for Pneumatic Tires.
I, FRANZ JOSEF HEISEL of 108 Oranienstrasse Berlin S.W. in the Empire
of Germany Merchant 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 :-
It often happens in pneumatic tires for cycles and carriages that they have small
porous places which by the pumping in of air are enlarged and render the tire
useless. This invention is intended to prevent such distension and consists of a
protective enclosure for the pneumatic tire comprising a net which surrounds the
tire on all sides and operates against the inner pressure when the tire is completely
inflated and thus prevents further dilatation overpassing the limits of elasticity.
In the annexed drawings Fig. 1 shows a tire provided with such protecting net.
Fig. 2 is a section thereof. Fig. 3 shows the net removed and spread out.
The net a bas the form of a band the width of which is equal to the circumference
of the cross section of the tire b while its length is equal to the circumference of
the inflated tire; and it consists of a strong plait of hemp silk cotton or the like.
The net is placed round the tire before the latter is blown up and is joined together
at its two ends e by means of the hooks d or by fastening with lacings or strings,
the two longitudinal sides e are connected together also by hooks for by lacings or
strings.
The said cet can also be used as a protecting net against the bursting of the tire
during is movement over the ground. The net is then placed round the interior air
tube and covered by the exterior cover; thus the bursting of tires due to the
expansion of the compressed air therein in hot weather is avoided, and if the exterior
cover is injured or split the net will prevent the inner tube from projecting through
such injury or slit.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A compressing and protecting device for pneumatic tires consisting of a net a
made of hemp, silk, cotton or the like which is joined at the ends c and longitudinal
edges e by means of hooks d and for strings or other convenient fastenings
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

A Protecting Sheath for Infant Feeding Bottles.
I, WILLIAM ALEXANDER ROSS of 8 Chewton Road, Walthamstow in the
County of Essex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has for its object the construction of a protecting sheath for infant
feeling bottles which will prevent the breakages frequently occurring through the
bottle being subjected, accidentally or otherwise, to undue violence.
This sheath I propose to make entirely of rubber or elastic.
A band of suitable width will go round the neck of the bottle and form a collar
from which, to the bottom of the bottle, will run eight narrow strips or bands;
three down the front, three down the back and one down each side of the
bottle.
These eight strips or bands will be slightly wider and thicker in the middle than
at the extremities and will be joined together transversely in the body of the bottle
by short straps of a like shape or description and fastened at the bottom end to a
band about three quarters of an inch wide which will run round and extend beyond
the bottom of the bottle to form a protection for that part.
This sheath will be made to fit the bottle closely and will be put on by being
drawn over the neck.

This invention relates to a novel combination of materials for the production of
a metallic alloy having great tensile strength, elasticity and a good colour.
The materials consist of copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, tin, sal ammoniac and
crude tartar in or about the following proportions by weight!

page_text: In the preparation 1 first melt the iron and copper in separate crucibles and
when liquid pour the copper into the crucible containing the iron, adding the
sal-ammoniac and stirring vigourously. When well mixed I add the magnesium.
After melting the zinc and tin together I pour this mixture down a tube partially
submerged so that said mixture becomes metallically associated with the iron,
copper, magnesium and sal-ammoniac. I now add the crude tartar and mix the
whole together by stirring or agitation and on the alloy assuming the required
colour and the dross and impurities are removed I pour the fluid alloy into ingots
or moulds as required.
The quantities of each of the metals as herein given for composing the said
alloys may be slightly varied according to the colour and special quality of the
alloy required.
The main object of the invention is to produce an alloy of a yellow gold or
yellowish red colour, of great tensile strength.
These alloys will polish most brilliantly and retain their colour.
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 :-
The alloy prepared as above set forth from the ingredients named and in or

A Combined Cycle Saddle and Case or Receptacle.
I, OTTO VOIGTLANDER of Viehoferstrasse 74, Essen on the Ruhr 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 aud
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This cycle saddle is so formed that it does not constitute as is usually the case
only a simple seat but it is also formed below as a pocket like receptacle, in which
tools and other small objects can be placed.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 shows half of the saddle from below Fig. 2 is a
longitudinal section and Fig. 3 is a perspective view from behind.
The saddle consists in the example represented in the annexed drawing of the
upper part A formed in leather, which is stiffened behind by the rail B. On the
latter are fixed the two supports C, to which are connected below the bows D
which form springs by means of the convolution d and are bent upwards at the
front end and are connected to the hook E at the peak of the saddle. The lateral
flaps a of the stiff seat part A are stitched to the under part F, which latter
is formed with a flap H behind and is secured by the turning ring G on the
rail B.
The lateral back pieces of the under part F are not connected fixedly above to
the rail B, but are held by means of buttons g by the middle flap.
The arrangement shown serves only as an instance of the construction of a
saddle the seat surface of which is continued downwards as receptacle, which may
receive any variation of form, construction and material.
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:-
A cycle saddle the seat surface of which is continued downwards to form a case
like receptacle for tools and the like.

I FREDERICK ARTHUR PUGH of 21 Park Street, Northampton, Boot Laster,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The dividing of boot lasts into two parts by means of a zig-zag cut (C) &.
fastening the said parts together with a screw bolt (B) as shewn on accompanying
drawing.
My object is to enable the workman to withdraw the last with greater ease from.
the boot when finished without breaking or damaging the boot.
An Improved Method of Making
I FREDERICK ARTHUR PUGH of 21 Park Street Northampton in the County-
of Northamptonshire Boot and Shoe Laster 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 making of lasts in two portions by cutting the same at the heel and
fastening the aforesaid two portions together by means of a screw bolt for the
purpose of allowing the workman to easily withdraw the last from the boot or shoe.
when partly finished or finished and avoiding strain or occasional damage to the
upper.
In order that my invention may be clearly rendered reference may be had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of a last in wood
and Fig. 2 a part section of the same showing the screw bolt.
In constructing a wood last according to my invention I contrive that a line as-
shown at A. B. Fig. 1 be considered as representing the end section of two pieces-
to be placed together and held by a screw bolt C Fig. 2 or that a last already
constructed be cut into two portions as shown at A. B. Fig. 1 and a screw bolt C..
Fig. 2 be thereunto fitted to unite the two parts together any line within reasonable
limits can be adopted to suit requirements but the proportions shown in the
drawing I consider to be the most advantageous.
The action is as follows in removing the last from the boot or shoe the unturning
of the screw bolt releases the fore portion of the last which can be removed
without strain upon the upper and the heel portion also if desired.
I do not comprise in my invention any particular angle of rectangular or curved
line which may require variation in accordance with the judgment of the last
maker in cases where a special last is required or any proportion of screw bolt or
any particular shape or make of screw bolt head.

page_text: 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
First. In a boot or shoe last the cutting of the same into two portions at the
heel and the fastening together of the same by means of a screw bolt substantially
as herein described with reference to the appended sheet of drawings.

Another.
I, ALFRED JEAN PRISTER of Wangen a/A in the Republic of Switzerland,
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 invention relates to the connection together of separate brushes suitable for
use as boot blacking and boot polishing brushes and a cloth brush which three
brushes intended to be used each by itself alone can be united in one piece in
which state they allow of easy packing and of ensuring the presence of the
single brushes for which purpose these brushes are especially suitable for military
purposes.
In the annexed drawing an example of the construction of these combined
brushes is shown in Figs. 1 to 5.
Upon the back of the clothes brush A is fixed a plate a' which is formed of
slightly wedge like form tapering from the middle towards the two ends and the
longitudinal edges of which project over the upper part of the longitudinal sides
of the brush back.
Corresponding to the parts al of the plate al a¹ both upon the back of the boot
cleaning brush B and upon the back of the boot blacking brush C is fixed a
plate 6 or c provided with longitudinal folds which when sliding the brushes B
and C upon the corresponding part of the plate a¹ extend over the edges of this
plate and thus secure together the brushes slid on one another and unite them in
one article.
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 :-
Brushes adapted to be used as boot cleaning, boot blacking, and clothes brushes
which can be united to form one article by a construction permitting the boot
cleaning brush B and the boot blacking brush C to be slid upon the clothes
brush A in such a manner that the brushes B and C are temporarily united to the
clothes brush A.

Combination Key and Handle (Latch Knob).
I, AUGUST GUSTAV HEINRICH SCHRÖDER of 21 Blumenstrasse Altona
Germany Assistant Clock Maker do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
When the use of a house or a corridor key e has to be clearly connected with
that of a latch knob or handle dit becomes a matter of great inconvenience to
preserve them both separately.
The object of this invention is to remedy this defect, and is illustrated in the
accompanying drawing. By its use an advantage is derived owing to the key
serving as a lever in such a manner that less force will hence forward be required
for closing or locking and that the key will be more readily used by ladies and
children. Instead of locking as heretofore with the thumb and index finger, the
whole of the hand can now be employed and hence more power can be brought
in play. In order to conveniently support the thumb a flat dish like appendage a
is formed in the middle of the key and is supported by the arm b. The key wards
as well as the push or latch knob may be of quadrangular, triangular, rectangular
or other shape.
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
1st. A key characterized by the combination of a presser, push or latch knob d
and a house or corridor key c in order to allow the locking to be more easily
effected with the whole of the hand.
2nd. In the arrangement above claimed the formation of a flat dish like
appendage a with a support b.
