I WILLIAM MORROW BARKLEY of Huntley Cottage, Green Island in the County
of Antrim Architect do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
By my invention I construct stoppers for gates with a moveable vertical rod
rounded on the top and projecting above the level of the ground, which is acted
upon by the bottom bar of the gate when the latter is closing.
The action of pressing down the vertical rod causes a rocking lever (contained in a
box sunk in the ground) to press upon the stopper.
This stopper consists of a wide flat bell-crank lever hinged near the upper surface
of the said box, and is composed of two-flat wide surfaces, set at right angles to
each other in such a way that when one end of the rocking lever is depressod
by the vertical rod or pin pressing on it, the other end of the rocking lever
causes 'the stopper to move upwards and so to form a stop for the gates to shut.
against.
Similarly when the gates are opened, the stopper will fall by its own gravity (being
weighted on the under side) and remains flush or level with the ground, and offers
no obstacle to anything passing over it. Simultaneously the vertical pin will rise
owing to the action of the rocking lever and remain so, ready to be pressed down as
soon as the gates are again closed, when the stopper will again be raised for the gates
to shut against.
1 fit the inside of the box with guard plates so that any sand or dirt falling into it.
will rest upon the lower half of the stopper, and will be lifted up and out of the box
when the stopper is again raised, the stopper being so constructed that the box is
closed when the stopper is either raised or dropped, and remains closed while the
stopper is kept in either position.

Vessels with a Lining or Coating of Lead.
Year: 1888

page_text: Vessels with a Lining or Coating of Lead.
I, FRIEDRICH TRIBBENSEE, of No. 17 Fürsten-Strasse, Berlin, 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 and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
My invention relates to an improved process for providing copper, iron, and other
metallic vessels with a lining or coating of lead.
Heretofore the lead linings of metallic vessels were applied in such a manner that
the latter were simply provided with a non-adhering leaden plate or foil, whereby the
latter, although a fixture in one sense, was loose in another, since it was not connected
with the walls of the vessel.
Such mode of lining vessels with lead had, moreover, this defect, that bosses or
protuberances were soon formed in this lining which were detrimental to the use of
the said vessels.
According to my invention I apply a lead lining of such nature that will prevent
the separation of the same from the walls of the vessel, the lead being intimately
connected therewith. For this purpose I proceed as follows:
I first tin in the usual manner the inner sides of the vessel under treatment which
is then besmeared with a soldering acid consisting of a solution of zinc shavings in
hydrochloric acid, to which a suitable quantity of sal ammoninc is added.
The vessel is now heated to a temperature of about 200° C. when I gradually pour
upon its inner surface, molten lead until the whole of such surface is fully covered
thereby. In this manner the thickness of the lead lining can be made to
reach 40/
Under the influence of the tin the load becomes intimately connected with the metal
of the vessel and adheres firmly thereto after cooling.
The surfaces coated with lead in the manner above described are subsequently
polished by means of a large copper or other polishing tool; or by hand with the aid
of a suitable scraper in order to remove the edges and uneveness caused by the gradual
pouring of the lead. These unevenesses can also be removed by turning the inside
of the vessel upon a lath.

page_text: A plating or lining of lead formed as above will never separate from the metal at
the back thereof, and hence the bosses and protuberances hereinbefore mentioned are
fully obviated.
Having thus 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 method or process for providing vessels of copper, iron and other metals with
a lining of lead, consisting in first tinning in the ordinary manner the inner surfaces
thereof, subsequently besmearing them with a solution of zinc in hydrochloric acid
containing some sal ammoniac, and finally pouring liquid lead little by little in the
heated vessel, substantially as and for the purpose described.

I, JAMES STUART PALMER, of No. 1, York Villas, Clova Road, Forest Gate, in
the County of Essex, Manufacturer's Foreman, 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 improvements in compositions for the production of plastic
wall and ceiling decorations, and consists in an amalgamation or composition of
certain ingredients in certain proportions.
In carrying my invention into practice, the composition which forms the subject
of it is spread, according to any convenient method, upon a backing of paper, canvas,
or other suitable material. The latter may be either continuous, or in sheets of any
desired size, according as the decoration to be manufactured is wanted in long
lengths, e.g., hangings for walls, or in sheets of definite size, c.g., enrichments for
panels or other similar limited areas.
The thickness to which the said composition is spread upon the backing is regu-
lated according to the particular purpose which the decoration is destined to fulfil,
or to the depth of the ornamentation which is to be embossed thereon.
My invention does not confine me to any special mechanical devices for embossing
the design upon the composition spread as described above; but allows to me to use
any suitable arrangement of embossed or engraved roller-or flat surfaces adapted
to exert the proper degree of pressure upon the composition and backing from either
one or both sides, and to produce the design in either solid or hollow relief.
The principle ingredient in my improved composition is the residium from distilling
candle material, commercially known as stearin pitch or candle pitch, or on the
continent as goudron élastique. The other ingredients are wood flour, whiting, starch
dross, dry colour, and lime, the latter only when especially required for the reason
explained further on.
The following are the proportions in which the several ingredients are to be used.

My invention relates to composition fire lighters, and has for its object the
utilisation of a material not hitherto employed in the manufacture of fire lighters,
and thereby to produce a fire lighter which, whilst being economical in use shall when
ignited develop a considerable volume of flame accompanied by intense heat.
In the production of the improved fire lighter according to my invention I take
paper, paper stock, and any of the various materials or substances of which paper is
made, and reduce them to a pulp; which pulp, after removal of a portion of its
moisture, may be placed in a press and stamped into wads, discs, or slabs of any
convenient shape, or, if desired, said pulp may be formed into thick sheets, pressed,
and cut into any convenient shape or shapes. When thoroughly freed from moisture,
the wads, discs, or slabs aforesaid are steeped in a fluid substance composed of
paraffin, benzoline, naphtha, or any of the inflammable mineral or other oils mixed or
incoporated with resin, in which they are allowed to remain until said inflammable
fluid composition has thoroughly permeated the substance of the paper wads, discs or
slabs above described; they are then removed from the fluid, composition and dried
by any convenient means, when they will be ready for use.
A fire lighter made up or formed in the manner above described will be found very
convenient for packing, storing and transport, and will compare favorably with fire
lighters as hitherto usually made.
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 :-
In fire lighters the employment in the formation thereof of paper, paper stock, or
paper pulp impregnated with inflammable materials or substances substantially as
herein described.

Improvements in Advertising.
HARRY MAXFIELD 326, Liverpool Road London, N. Manufacturing Stationer 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 improvements consist in printing or otherwise, or affixing general advertisements
on the front and back, or on the wrappers when made up into packets, of Luggage or
other address Labels or Tags.
The accompanying drawing shewing the front of a Luggage Tag, demonstrates the
utility of my improvements in advertising, the arrangement of the advertisements can
be varied to an unlimited extent, according to requirements.
The charge made to the various advertisers will have the effect of reducing to a
minimum, the cost of the labels or tags to the consumer.
In providing means for affixing general advertisements to the labels; this can be
accomplished in various ways; for instance, flaps may be provided similar in construc-
tion to an ordinary envelope; or sheets may be folded and attached to the labels ; or
leaves in the form of a book may be attached, the said flaps, sheets, or leaves, having
general advertisements thereon ; 1 may employ other means of affixing general
advertisements to labels, other than those described without deviating from the spirit
of my improvements.
Having described and ascertained the nature of my improvements, I claim
1. The arrangement of general advertisements printed or otherwise, on Luggage or
other address Labels or Tags, of any size, shape or form, or on the wrappers when
made up into packets.
2. Affixing flaps, folded sheets or leaves of paper or other material, with general
advertisements thereon, to Luggage or other address Labels or Tags; or on the
wrappers when made into packets.

An Improved Wrapper for Enveloping and Denoting Cotton-piece
Goods.
I ABRAMO ELIA LEVI of 18 Cumberland Street, Deansgate, Manchester, Merchant
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:
This improved wrapper constitutes the outside covering of a parcel or envelope
containing cotton piece goods and thus affords a novel and efficient means of denoting
or indicating that the goods enveloped thereby are the goods of a certain manufacture
or those of a certain trader or merchant and this without opening a parcel or bale of
such goods to examine the same minutely.
My improved wrapper is composed of (by preference bleached or white) net or lace
work fabric and it is intended to be used in conjunction with colored paper or other
lining material which may be separate from or incorporated with such net-work.
In case of the colored paper being separated the goods are just wrapped in such
paper and then are wrapped or enveloped in my improved net covering and this latter
being of an open texture discloses the color of the paper beneath and so produces
an ornamented effect and also affords a distinct and ready means of indicating as
aforesaid.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The improved wrapper and employment thereof for enveloping and denoting cotton

A Pipe Wrench.
JAMES FRAYN, Fitter No. 11, Bath Street, Plymouth and GEORGE HENRY
GOODYEAR No. 6, Coryton Terrace Mutley, Plymouth, Clerk of Works, 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 Pipe Wrench is made of steel and in two parts-the handle or lever is
one foot ten inches in length altogether, and slightly curved at the upper part in
which teeth are formed to grip the pipe-The other part of the Wrench is about
seven and half inches in length with cheeks at the bottom three eights inch in
thickness which forms a socket for lever to work in, the two parts being connected
with a centre pin nut and screw.
The top part is hook shaped, which, with the lever grips the pipe-The chief
features of this Wrench are that it will do for all sizes of pipes from half inch to
two inches internal diameter without disconnecting or shifting as is the case with
those now in use, causing waste of time, also that it grips the pipe on three points
which prevents it being pressed out of shape.
On the accompanying drawing of this Invention (A) represents the Hook, (B) the
Lever and Grip, (C) the socket in which the lever works, (D) the Centre pin, with
nut and screw on which the lever moves and (E) the Handle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1st That the Invention will obviate the necessity of having so many wrenches for
the work required to be performed.
shifted.
2nd That it does not require to be disconnected or in any way
3rd-That the pipe when gripped is pressed on three equidistant points which keeps
the pipe from being bruised out of its original forin.

page_text: I, WILHELM DÖRGE, of 1 Steinther, Prominade, Braunschweig, in the Empire of
Germany, Chief Collecter for Lotteries, 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:-
:-
The object of my invention is to manufacture an improved form of Tailor's Chalk
holder, in which the chalk used for marking cloth and other material is securely held
and prevented from becoming broken in use.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts:
Fig. 1 is a view of the case, open.
Fig. 2 is a view of the same, closed.
Fig. 3 is a section of the same, and
Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged sections of the clamps which hold the upper part of the
chalk, and whereby it is fed forward as it wears away.
The holder consists of a thin metallic case a a¹, having hinges bb and a fastener or
snap c for closing the same. The lower part of the case, between the hinges bb is
made open, and sufficiently wide to allow the lower end of the chalk to project, as
shown in the drawings. d d are two slots cut in the side a¹ of the case:-holes e e
are formed in the intermediate strip of metal. is a spring regulating slide which
embraces the perforated strip of metal and is united at the sides to the clip h. The
spring slide is fitted with a pin p which takes into one of the holes e. The form of
the clip is clearly shown in the drawings. It is made in two parts, hinged together
at i. is a spring which presses the upper ends apart. The lower sides of the clip
and the lower part of the case are lined with rubber at m m (shaded black). n is the
chalk which is held in position between the rubber pads m m as shown.
In using the holder the upper part is opened and the chalk is inserted, as shown in
Fig. 1. The clip his opened by pinching the spring k. between the upper end of the
clip, and the chalk is placed therein. The case is then closed ready for use. The
chalk is pressed forward as it wears away, by shifting the position of the spring
slide f

page_text: When the chalk is pressed back into the holder, the latter may be placed in the
pocket, the chalk being thoroughly protected.
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 :-
1. The manufacture and use of improved chalk holders, constructed, arranged and
operating substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the Drawings.
2. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of the several and
respective parts, together forming my improved chalk holder, substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated by the drawings.

We, ALBERT DUx of 11 Grosvenor Street, Piccadilly, Manchester in the County
of Lancaster, Merchant and ALBERT COIN trading as Krausse and Auerbach of
45 Basinghall Street in the City of London, Merchants 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 object of this invention is to provide a means whereby a handle may be readily
attached to plates bowls and other similar articles and as readily detached therefrom
without injuring or defacing the article to which it has been attached.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents side elevation of a handle for
plates bowls and the like constructed according to this invention, Fig. 2 front
elevation and Fig. 3 plan of same. Same letters denote same parts in all the figures.
According to this invention we form the handle a of hard drawn or rolled metal or
other suitable material or materials of any desired shape or section and to the ends
of the handle a we attach hooks or clips & and c. The material of which the handle a
is composed must be sufficiently hard and elastic to form a spring. To attach the
bandle to any suitable article for example a plate as shewn in dotted lines at d Fig. 2,
it is only necessary to pull the ends of the handle outwards to the positions e and f
shewn also in dotted lines at Fig. 2 when the clips or hooks will allow the plate or
other article to pass between them and on releasing the ends of the handle the
elasticity thereof will hold the article firmly between the clips or books no rivets
bolts or other fastenings or perforation of the article being required.
The handle may be instantly detached in the same manner by springing the hooks
or clips over the edge of the article. We do not limit ourselves to any particular
design of spring bandlo which may be of any shape and ornamented as desired and

page_text: may also be hinged so as to turn down like ordinary cake basket handles, this would
servo to hang a plate (for instance) against a wall, the clips also may be of any
ornamental design.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion_and-in-what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
wo claim is:-
The improved detachable spring handle for plates bowls and the like furnished with
clips or hooks substantially as described and shewn.

1. JOHN RICHARD HUTCHINSON of Daisy Field Mills Bury in the County of Lancaster
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 that class of woven fabrics known as beaverteens and
consists of a new or improved method of weaving the same, the effect of which is to
throw up more
ribon the face of the cloth than hitherto combined with a twilled
back, and at the same time to make a very strong and durable fabric.
.
The improved method of weaving by which I accomplish this is illustrated by the
weavers drafts hereunto annexed in which the horizontal lines indicate the warp
threads or ends, and the vertical lines the weft threads or picks.
The improved fabric is woven by so arranging the weft picks forming the face of
the cloth that they shall float over three warp ends, and under one alternately, the
raised single end always being the centre end of the previously floated three ends;
in combination with either of the arrangements of back or foundation picks shown on
the accompanying diagrams.
The face picks may be put in as shown at 2. 3. 5. 6 and so forth, on the diagrams, or
they may be woven in groups of more than two between the back or foundation picks
or a single face pick alternately with a back pick may be used, but in either case
combined with the back or foundation picks in the manner represented on the annexed
diagrams.
Pattern A, shows the two face picks combined with back or foundation picks passing
over one and under two ends alternately.
Pattern B shows the same arrangement of face picks with back picks the weft
passing under four and over two warp ends alternately.
Pattern shows the same with the back picks passing under three ends and over
three.
Pattern D shows a modified arrangement of the two face picks combined with back
picks over one and under three ends, and
Pattern E shows the same modified arrangement of face picks in combination with
back or foundation picks passing over two and under two ends alternately.

page_text: The warp ends may be drawn in singly or more in the healds as is found most
suitable and convenient for weaving the cloth required.
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 :-
First. The improved method of weaving ribbed beaverteens by combining the
particular class of face picks herein before mentioned with the back or foundation
picks forming a willed back as illustrated by the diagrams and interweaving the same
with the warp ends in the manner hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
diagrams annexed and
Secondly. I claim the improved ribbed face and twilled back beaverteens woven as
before described.
