page_text: I, ALFRED SAVILL TOMKINS of Holmwood, Caterham in the County of Surrey,
Captain Victoria Rifles, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved construction of lantern for holding candles or
a lamp for use in camps and other places where the light would be exposed to the
weather, whereby, when not in use, it can be packed into a small space and thus
facilitate transport.
For this purpose the lantern is made in halves, each half being of conical or cup
shape. When in use the two halves are fixed together at their widest part by suitable
means, but when the lantern is to be transported from one place to another, the one
half is inverted and packed into the other half, after the candle or lamp has been
removed. Obviously when there are several lanterns, these can all be packed together
in this manner, thus occupying very little space.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews an elevation and Fig: 2 a section of a
lantern constructed according to my invention. The lantern is made in separate
halves, each half consisting of a metal framing A which may be either circular or
polygonal in section and which supports the glass B or other transparent material.
The wider parts of the two halves being placed end to end, they are attached together
by suitable catches C, or a hook on the upper half may catch under a lip D on the
lower half at one side and be fastened by a catch C on the opposite side as shewn in
Fig. 2. Attached to the one framing, preferably the lower half, are two handles H
by which the lantern can be held in the hand and to which a loose handle or cord K
may be attached for carrying it from above. The bottom of the lower half is per-.
forated as shewn at P to allow ingress of air to support combustion, and the top of the
upper half has an opening O or is perforated to allow escape of products of combus-
tion. The glass may be protected by wires W passing round and secured to the
framing.

page_text: When not required for use, the two halves of the lantern are separated from each
other and, the one half being inverted, the other half is placed within it as indicated
in dotted lines at Fig. 2.
It will be evident that the two halves may be made hemispherical instead of conical,
or of any other configuration that will enable the one half to be placed within the
other when inverted.
•
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 lantern constructed in separate halves, arranged to fit one into the other sub-
stantially as and for the purpose herein described.

I JAMES YATE JOHNSON of 47 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this Invention which has been communi-
cated to me from abroad by Farbenfabriken vormals Friedrich Bayer & Co. of
Elberfeld in the Empire of Germany to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to a process for the production of Sulpho acids of thiopara-
toluidine by the action of fuming sulphuric acid upon thioparatoluidine and thereby
obtaining a new dyestuff as hereinafter explained.
The property of dyeing unmordanted cotton has heretofore been regarded as
peculiar to azo dyes resulting from the action of tetrazo compounds upon phenols and
amides or the sulpho acids thereof. It has now been discovered that the soda salts of
the sulpho acids of certain thio bases also possess the property of dyeing cotton in an
alkaline bath and that this compound possesses in addition the valuable peculiarity of
being capable of being diazotised in or on the fibre and of combining with phenols
naphthols and their sulpho acids to form dyes of from yellow orange to red
colours.
The following may be taken as an example of the manufacture of a dye according
to this invention.
About ten parts by weight of thioparatoluidine are slowly poured into about fifty
parts by weight of the fuming acid containing about twenty per cent. of anhydride
the temperature being kept below about thirty degrees centigrade. After standing
for a short time to complete the sulphurising that is to say until a sample dissolves
with a yellow colour in alkaline water the product is poured out upon ice. The
resulting insoluble sulpho acid being separated by filtration the acid is removed by
washing and the residual precipitate is dried. The brownish yellow powder thus
obtained being ground and mixed with about five parts by weight of calcined soda is
soluble in water and forms a yellow dye presenting the above mentioned properties.

An Improvement in Tyres for Wheels of Carriages and other Vehicles.
Year: 1888

page_text: Date of Application, 9th Nov...1888
Specification Accepted, 14th Dec., 1835
An Improvement in Tyres for Wheels of Carriages and other
Vehicles.
1. JOHN UTBER BURT of 27 Swinton Street King's Cross Carriage Builder 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:-
In my Specification No. 191 of 1886 I described a tyre for wooden carriage wheels
having an inwardly projecting lip or flange on its one edge, and tapering to a some-
what smaller diameter towards the other edge, so that, when the tyre is shrunk on the
felloes, it cannot shift laterally, the flange holding it one way whilst the taper holds it
the other way.
My present invention relates to tyres of this kind, having for its object not only to
strengthen the tyres and hold them firmly on the felloes, but also to provide a pro-
tection for the felloes when the wheel rubs laterally against a kerb or other prominence,
and thus to avoid the disfigurement of the wheel when paint is rubbed off or the wood
of felloes is injured. For this purpose, I make the tyre as I will describe referring to
the accompanying drawings which represent sections of several forms of tyre embody-
ing my improvement. The tyer A is, as described in my former Specification above
referred to, made with the inwardly projecting lip or flange A which prevents it from
shifting towards the right and at the opposite edge A it is somewhat reduced in
diameter, so that when shrunk on the felloes B, that are made with corresponding
taper, it cannot shift towards the left. Instead of making the outer edge at A¹
in line with the face B of the felloes, I make it project somewhat beyond that
face so that, when the wheel rubs along a kerb or other prominence, the face of
the felloes is protected, the tyre itself being at the same time strengthened by the
substance of the flange. The face of the flange A' may be straight and inclined
a little outwards from the wheel as in Fig. 1, when it is desired to give additional
width to the tyre, or it may be inclined inwards as in Fig. 2, when a less width
of tyre is desired, or, as shewn in Fig. 3, the face of the flange may be convexly
curved, the particular form adopted being such as to suit the conditions as to
width of tyre desired, and also to give the desired facilities in rolling the bar of
metal from which the tyre is inade.

page_text: 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 tyre having on its one edge an inwardly projecting flange or lip with its face
projecting beyond the face of the felloes, and having its inner surface tapered to a
somewhat smaller diameter at its opposite edge, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth.

page_text: Metallurgical and other Purposes.
We, AUGUSTE TACK, Manufacturer, and FERDINAND GIRARD, Engineer both of
15 Rue du Beau-Site Brussels, Belgium, 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 :-
Until lately the metallurgic coke has been generally made from fat coals. Many
trials have been made without any success for obtaining a good quality of coke, by
mixing different qualities of coals in common coke ovens. It is only by means of
special and new dispositions of ovens, that one has partially succeeded, but always
by using fat coals as the principal basis of the mixtures. Hence the processes of
Coppée, Brunck Bauer, G. Hoffmann, and others.
Our invention consists in manufacturing good coke by using semi fat coals
exclusively, or lean coals mixed with about one third of fat coals, making use in both
cases of the common coke ovens. Wo convert our coals into coke in block or
Briquette form as is commonly made without the coking process by the addition of
pitch or any other agglutinating matter and we introduce the said briquettes into the
ovens by piling them upon a metal plate or any other contrivance so as to reduce
the interstices to a minimum; this must be done quickly in order to avoid the
cooling of the ovens.
The coke which wo obtain in this way is of a superior quality, that is; hard, dense,
clean, and leaving very few ashes when used for heating purposes.
The advantages of our invention are as follows:
(a) Economy on the outlay of coals.
(b) Production of coke of good quality.
(c) Great resistance of the coke to the crushing.
ו

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what wo
claim is
The employment of semi fat coals alone (or the mixture of lean coals with about
of fat coals) for the manufacture of coke in the common coke ovens like ordinary
coke, also by previously transforming the said coals into blocks or briquettes as above
describod.

page_text: My invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings, forming
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved paper cutter.
Figure 2 is an end view.
Figure 3 is an end view of a modification.
My invention relates to an improvement in roll-paper holders and cutters, and
consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the
claims.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a suitable base, and 2, ends or standards,
which are secured to the base, in which the roller 10 is journalled, and which are
provided with lugs 3, as shown.
4 represents a knife, having ends 5 preferably formed in one piece with the knife,
and which fit against the standards 2, and are held in place by the lugs 3, which
embrace them, but in which they fit loosely, so as to allow the knife to fall by gravity
as the paper is removed. The knife rests upon the roll of paper, and as the paper is
removed it automatically feeds or moves downward by its own weight, thus producing
a cheap and effective machine.
By forming the ends 5 in one part with the blade, no joint has to be made between
them and the blade, but all that is necessary to do, is to bend the extremities of the
blade to form the ends.
In figure 3 have shown a modification, where the lugs 3 consist of rollers
journalled to the ends or standards 2, and which are preferably placed in the form
of a trianglo, aud are preferably arranged to throw the knife at an inclination, as
shown.

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 1
claim is :-
1. In a roll-paper holder and cutter, the combination of the ends, in which the
roller is journal led, and which are provided with lugs, and a knife having ends fitting
in the lugs, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a roll-paper holder and cutter, the combination of the ends or standards, in
which the roller is journalled, the ends provided with lugs, and knife having ends
fitting in the lugs, the ends being formed in one part with the knife, substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a roll-paper holder and cutter, the combination of the ends forming a support
for the roller, and the knife moveably secured to the ends, so as to move by gravity,
as the paper is taken from the roller, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

1, MAX FRIFDRICH, Manufacturer, of Plagwitz-Leipsic in the Kingdom of Saxony
and German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the
following statement
This invention relates to improved grinding or pulverising apparatus consisting as
represented on the accompanying drawings of a rumbler or rotating drum whose
periphery is composed of a series of unevenly balanced rocking grids or gratings and
within which substances are ground or pulverised by the action of a number of balls
caused to roll over the grids by the rotation of the drum The material to be ground
or pulverised is fed into the rumbler or drum through a hopper indicated at figure 1,
and falls on to the rocking grids or gratings A', A', A³ etc, indicated at figures 2
and 3 These rocking grids or gratings A1, A2, A' etc, as shown detached at figure 4,
are each supported by a fulcrum at a which is slightly one-sided, so that a greater
leverage is obtained at b, than at a and in consequence of which the grating will
always be inclined to rest on b
When the rumbler is turned the balls roll forward Figure 2 shows the position
wherein the weight of the balls presses down the shorter lever c of the grid or grating
until the rumbler is turned forward as far as shown in figure 3, where the long arm b
of the grid is pressed down, a quicker speed of the rolling balls towards b being thus
periodically produced The weight of the balls now presses against the short arm of
the grid As, and presses down the grid at c, the process being repeated while the
rumbler goes on revolving The movable grid may also consist of single grate
bars, placed side by side and held in position by the same fulcrum The material
when ground or pulverised to the requisite degree falls through the openings between
the bars on to a sieve which may be specially adjusted underneath the bars, or which
may form the outer shell of the rumbler In this case the rough parts of the material
which do not pass the sieve are brought round in the rotation of the apparatus and fall
down again on to the balls, at the moment when the grids drop back, which takes
place at their highest position (see at figure 3 the grids A' and A') this material
being acted on afresh

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
I claim is
1 The combination of parts constituting the improved grinding or pulverising
apparatus herein before described with reference to the drawings annexed

My invention relates to an improved method of preventing the escape of dust
while in the process of being sifted or divided from larger articles, and consists of
a dust tight bin or box, of any convenient size or shape inside of which I place a
sieve which can be oscillated to and fro either by a projecting handle through the
end or side or by a cranked arrangement or other suitable device, at the bottom of
the box construct a drawer or tray to receive the dust or small granular substances
which can be readily removed for the purpose of emptying, from time to time as

I WALTER ROBERTSON, of 42, Queens Road, Chelsea, in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman, 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 article of food or concentrated Jelly which is
made in a solid form and supersedes all other Jellies hitherto manufactured in as
much as it will keep any length of time in such form and in whatever climate, while
at the same time its flavour remains unimpaired.
This solidified Jelly may be made in tablets or cakes, and can be wrapped in paper,
tin foil, or wooden boxes, after the manner of ordinary sweetmeat.
I prepare the solidified jelly in the following manner :
I melt 24 lbs. of sugar, and I add thereto 15 lbs. of liquid glucose, the mixture
being boiled nearly to siccity, after which I incorporate 3 lbs. of geletine with the
mass thus formed subsequently adding 14 lbs. of citric acid, and any suitable
flavouring, such as essence of lemon, essence of orange, alcohalic extracts of
cinnamon, cassia beads, or the like.
The mass is now poured into moulds and cut cold to the size required.
When required for use this solidified Jelly should be mixed with water until
the desired consistency is obtained, or the Jelly can also be used in the solid form
as an article of food.
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 solidified Jelly composed of 24 parts of sugar, 15 parts of liquid glucose
34 parts of geletine, 1 parts of citric acid or thereabout, and a suitable quantity
of flavouring essences to taste, treated and prepared substantially as described, and
for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Apparatus for Landing Fish.
I, WILLIAM FREDERICK BEART of Godmanchester in the County of Huntingdon
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The apparatus consists of a handle having a fork at one end which serves to distend
a loop of wire or cord. One end of the wire is attached by a swivel to the end of
the handle between the bases of the arms of the fork and at the other end is a slip
knot. The arms of the fork carry spring clips, the jaws of which hold the wire, thus
keeping the loop distended. When in use the loop is first passed over the tail of the
fish and the handle is pulled backwards, thereby putting a strain on to the wire, which
immediately frees itself from the clips, and the loop tightening holds the fish firmly
so that it can be drawn out of the water.

page_text: Wo, FRANK BIDDISCOMBE, of Cliff House, Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster Contractor etc. and FRED HILTON, of Ford House, Cheetham
Hill, Manchester, aforesaid, Estate Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in joints or couplings for connecting the ends
of railway rails and the object of our Invention is to unite the ends of rails so firmly
and securely that no movement and consequent jolting can possibly take place at the
joints which is the case when ordinary fish plates are employed.
Our invention in its simplest form consists of a clip or coupling which embraces the
bottom flange and sides of the rails and is securely bolted thereto but we prefer to use
this clip or coupling in combination with a metal chair as hereinafter specified.
And in order that our Invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect we will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon."
Figure 1 is a cross section Fig. 2 a side view and Fig. 3 a plan of our improved
joint or coupling as applied to the adjoining ends of a pair of rails and Fig. 4 is a cross
section of a clip made according to our Invention.
The rails aa the ends of which are to be connected together are placed in the
steel clip or coupling b shown detached in Fig. 4 and the clip 6 and the ends of the
rails are then firmly connected and secured together by two four or more bolts c
preferably by four bolts as shown the clip 6 embracing the bottom flanges as well as
the sides of the rails so that no movement is possible. The clip b thus secured to the
ends of the rails a a may be used alone but we prefer to support it upon a cast iron or
other metal chair d which would be bolted to an ordinary sleeper not shown.
The chair d is formed with one jaw and is grooved to receive the clip b which is
secured to the chair by the bolts c which in this case pass through the jaw of the chair
as well as through the clip 6 and rails a a.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is-
1. The combination with the rails a a, of the clip or coupling b and bolts c,
substantially as and for the purposes herein described with reference to the Drawings
annexed.
2. The combination with the rails a a, of the clip or coupling 6 the bolts c and
the chair & substantially as and for the purposes herein described and as shown.
