Improved Wire Netting.
WILLIAM FILMER 77, Bow Common Lane London, E. Wire Worker do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A new pattern wire netting with a loop in the centre of twist which can be
made on the ordinary netting machine, dispensing with the usual tubes and springs,
(which can only be supplied with a small quantity of wire) while by my invention
the netting is made from bobbins containing enough wire for two or three days,..
thus saving a great deal of time in constantly stopping machine and joining up the
work, while the netting is much stronger than made in the ordinary way by the
same guage wire.
The loop is also a great advantage where the netting is used for plastering
purposes as it can be fixed with ordinary lath nails instead of wire staples, thereby
saving time in fixing and obtaining a better hold to the joists.

Improved wire Netting.
WILLIAM FILMER 77 Bow Common Lane London E. Wireworker 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 :-
A new pattern wire netting with a loop in the centre of the twist.
This loop (Fig. A) which saves a great deal of labour in fixing, can be made in
the form of a circle or any other shape, and can, (by the use of comb (Fig. B).
which enters between the wires after the first half of the twist is made in a right
hand direction holding then securely while the other half of the twist is made in
the opposite direction) be made on the ordinary netting machine, at the same time
dispensing with the usual tubes and springs, which (tubes and springs) can only be
supplied with a small quantity of wire, while by the use of my comb the netting
is made from bobbins containing enough wire for several days work, thus saving a
great deal of time in constantly stopping machine to fill tubes with springs and
join up work, while the netting is much stronger than that made in the ordinary
way, and saves a great quantity of wire. The loop is also a great advantage where
the netting is used for plastering purposes, such as for fireproof ceilings etc., as it
can be fixed with ordinary lath nails instead of wire staples thereby saving great
time in fixing and likewise obtaining a better hold to the joists.
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 loop in the centre of the twist.

Improvements in or relating to Saucers or Supports for Flower Pots
and the like.
I, EDWIN DRUMMOND COATES of Haydn Villa, Alexandra Road, Hornsey in
the County of Middlesex, Professor of Music do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to improvements in insect traps or saucers on which to
stand flower-pots or the like and has for its object the protection of the plants or
other contents of the same from the attacks of ear-wigs, slugs, worms and the
like, and at the same time to allow any water with which the plants may be
supplied to drain off without entering the saucer.
Where manure-water is used it is very objectionable to have it standing, and
ordinary water is injurious to the plaut, if the pot is allowed to stand in it.
In order to attain these objects, according to my invention, I take a pan or dish?
of tin, zine, earthenware or any suitable material, preferably of the circular and
shallow form usually employed for saucers for use with flower-pots. In the bottom
of such pan or dish I form a hole of circular or other desired shape, around
which is fixed or formed a flange or inner wall, projecting in an upward direction
and of a height which may equal the vertical height of the pan or dish. On the
bottom of said pan or dish I also fix or form, in any suitable manner, an inverted
pan or dish of smaller circumference or size, the wall or walls of which, are,
however, of greater height than those of the first or lower pan or dish, and are,
or may be, provided with an aperture or apertures, in order to establish communi-
cation between the outer and inner parts of the lower pan or dish.
A hole is cut or made in the bottom of this inverted pan or dish, which hole
should be smaller than the opening in the bottom of the first or lower pan or dish,
and immediately above such opening. The bottom of the inverted pan or dish may
project beyond its side or sides and should be inclined from its edge or edges, in
a downward direction, towards the hole in same. The lower pan or dish may
contain water, insecticide or other suitable liquid or substance.
It is obvious that I may make the above described improved insect-trap or
saucer in any desired size, shape or material, or the same may form part of the
flower-pot itself. I may likewise make one pau or dish serve for two or more
pots or the like, without departing from the principle of my said invention.

A New or Improved Device for Fixing Windows in any desired
Open Position.
A communication by HEINRICH VIETIG, of 95, Konigstrasse, Lübeck, in the
Empire of Germany, School Superintendent.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323, High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil 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 for its object an easy means of fixing, in any position, window
frames when opened. This improved device is characterised advantageously by
great simplicity and utility and may be applied both to single or double framed
windows, as well as to those which swing inwards or outwards.
The object of the invention is shown on the accompanying drawings in
Figures 1 to 3,
Figure 1 being an elevation;
Figure 2, a plan view partly in section; and
Figure 3 a view of the whole arrangement.
A bar d is arranged crosswise on double hinges or pivots e¹, e³ and e³, which may
be preferably attached to the window casement. This bar can revolve on its hinges
both vertically as well as horizontally and is connected at its other end with a
lever g..
This lever g is also hinged and is adjustable with the latter in an E shaped
guide piece a which is also arranged on pivots b 6' movably attached to the frame
or sash of the window and this mode of attachment is necessary in order to avoid
any jamming or sticking fast of the sash when the window is opened.
An eccentric of the lever g is connected with d, by means of a pin f, on which
it is free to turn so that, by turning the lever g, the eccentric and pin fare caused
to be clamped in the E shaped guide piece.
When opening or closing the window, the rod d with the lever g make both a
vertical as well as a rotary motion, and it is possible to fix both in the piece a in
any position of the window.
The length of the guide piece a will depend upon the width of the window sash
and upon the greatest extent to which the window is to be opened, but it must be
always longer than the course described by the eccentric hand pinƒ when the window
is opened so that the eccentric and pin cannot be removed from the guide piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my
foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is-
An improved window fixing device consisting of a crosswise-supported bar d
suitably hinged or pivoted which is connected at one end with an eccentrically
supported lever in such a way that both parts may be clamped fast in an E shaped
guide piece by a suitable movement of the lever g substantially as described and
shown.

Improvements in Means for Lubricating Valves.
I, JAMES CURRAN Mechanical Engineer residing at 107 Spa Road Bermondsey
London S.E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertamed in and
by the following statement :-
This invention relates to means for lubricating surfaces such as valves in
hydraulic engines and the like & consists in providing a ready means by which the
lubricant is supplied to the working or sliding surfaces & the same is carried out
as follows reference being had to the annexed drawings in which
Figure 1 is a sectional clevation of a valvo according to my invention.
Figure 2 top view of same.
Figure 3 view of working face of same.
a, a are channels formed in the valve which communicate through the medium
of ducts & with the working face c, the spaces a, a, are filled with oil or suitable
lubricant, d 18 a piston of suitable material which slides in the chamber a, said
chamber being partially closed by a screw cap e, having a perforation or opening f.
in same, g (Fig. 3) is a channel connecting two of the ducts in order to insure
good lubrication between the working surfaces. It will be seen that the pressure
of the liquid will act upon the piston d & cause the lubricant to be forced through
the duct b. between the working surfaces. When the receptacle a is empty, the
piston d will close the opening of the duct b, the caps e may be removed by a
Suitable tool engaging in the slots h for the purpose of refilling apertures being
provided in the casing or stuffing box for this purpose. The piston d is provided
with a screw projection engaging in an internal thread in the cap e. of such a
direction that when the cape is screwed into place, tho piston d is disengaged from
same. It will be understood, that, although I have shown my invention applied to
hydraulic slide valves, the same can be used upon other working surfaces, without
departing from my invention, as the working pressmc can be employed to force
the lubricant between the working surfaces.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
I claim is.
1. In means for lubricating hydraulic & the libe working surfaces, a channel or
receptacle connected by means of a duct to the working surface, said channel
containing the lubricant, a piston sliding in said channel or receptacle, a perforated
cap or cover partially closing said receptacle or channel substantially described
and illustrated.

Improvements in Fencing.
I, EDWARD GEOTE DULCKEN, of Billiter House, Billiter Street, in the City
of London, Metal 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:-
This invention for Improvements in Fencing has for its object to provide a
cheap and efficient continuous wooden fencing that can be made in lengths in a
manufactory and can readily be fixed at the desired place by unskilled labour
and consists essentially in binding triangular shaped pales vertically in galvanized
and stranded longitudinal wires and in securing this continuous paling to strainer
posts so that the wires can be well strained and afterwards secured to intermediate
posts. A convenient arrangement is to have the intermediate posts 9 feet apart;.
the straining posts 300 feet apart; about seven pales in 3 feet; and the paling in
lengths of about 16 feet.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show in side elevation
three slightly different modifications of this improved fencing. The triangular
pales a, machine split and of old and hard chestnut or other suitable wood, are
secured within the strands of the straining wires b and the whole is secured to the
posts c. Fig. 1 shows three straining wires 6 and Fig. 2 shows a lower fence with
two straining wires. Fig. 3 shows a fence allowing rabbits and other small animals
to pass through.
Instead of a two stranded wire we prefer to use a four stranded wire each wire
being say inch diameter. The elasticity of the wires and the triangular form of
the pales render the fence absolutely unclimbable.
The fence can be easily taken down and rolled in bundles for removal.
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 :-
A fencing consisting of vertical and triangular shaped split pales bound in
longitudinal stranded wires substantially as described.

We MARY LOUISA LOVELL and MARIANNE HAMILTON of No. 2 Wellington
Place Cheltenham in the County of Gloucester Gentlewomen 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 for its object the production of a novel & artistic shade for
candles or for gas, oil incandescent or other lamps, of great beauty, affording an
effective shade to the light.
Lamp or candle shades constructed in accordance with this invention are made
of a cardboard consisting of two layers of white or toned paper with a layer of
coloured paper placed between. In practice we have found that for the inner layer
a blue paper is best.
The cardboard is cut or stamped to any design (flowers birds & insects
being most effective) care being taken that the whole of pattern is not cut
through so that upon pressure from the outside the greater part of pattern can be
pressed through yet leaving the design firmly attached. The veining of leaves
and lighter lines of design are only partly cut or stamped through. The pattern
before being pressed out is painted on the inner side round the cut edges with
brilliant colours suitable to the design and allowed to dry.
The reflected light through the cut or stamped edges produces a most beautiful
and artistic effect. When cut by hand a sharp knife shaped like the head of an
arrow is most suitable and the cardboard should be cut upon a smooth china
surface.
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.
The use of a specially prepared cardboard which after being cut or stamped is
painted upon the inner side of cut edges with suitable colouring for the manufacture
of lamp or candle shades constructed substantially as and for the said purposes
hereinbefore set forth and described.

An Improved Process for Purifying Petroleum.
1, JULIUS SCHRADER of Feuerbach-Stuttgart in the Empire of Germany, 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 :-
Ordinary commercial petroleum always contains resinous substances which
detract from the illuminating power of the oil, or when it is used for motors have
a deleterious effect on the working of the motor by depositing these impurities,
which separate out through the formation of gas and the subsequent explosion.
These drawbacks are removed or reduced to a minimum by my improved purifying
process.
The process consists essentially in distilling the petroleum with acids, acid salts
or their compounds. For this purpose phosphoric acid and its salts, or boracic
acid and borates are peculiarly suitable, or a mixture of these salts in combination
with 5 to 25% of sulphuric acid. From 2 to 10% of the above mentioned
re-agents, according to the amount of impurities contained, are added to the
petroleum in the retort, and thoroughly mixed with it. The mixture is heated to
à temperature of from 150 degrees to 250 degrees Celsius, the pure petroleum
being distilled off. Any traces of acid which may remain in the distillate are
removed from the same by washing it with water containing soda.
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
An improved process for purifying petroleum, consisting in distilling the same
with boracic or phosphoric acid or with salts of these acids, and where salts are
employed adding to them varying quantities of sulphuric acid, whereby the
impurities of the petroleum remain as a residue or are destroyed; substantially as
hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Book-racks.
1, JAMES WALTER LYON, residing at Douglas Street in the City of Guelph in
the County of Wellington and Province of Ontario, Canada, Publisher, 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 the invention is to produce a cheaply made book-rack which may
be readily folded into a small space without detracting from its rigidity when
extended for the purpose of holding books, substantially as hereinafter more
particularly explained.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved book-rack opened to receive books.
Fig. 2 is a view of the rack closed for transportation.
The book-rack consists of a series of shelves A. Each shelf is pivoted at a, to a
pair of uprights B, and at b, to the pair of uprights C. The pair of uprights B,
are rigidly connected together by the bar D, below and in front of each pair of
pivots a, so as to form a support for each shelf A, when they are extended out to
receive the books or other articles the rack may carry. The uprights C are held
rigidly together by cross-bars E, rigidly fastened to the upright C, above and
behind each pair of pivots b, thus forming a butt against which the top of each
shelf A, butts when the rack is extended out in the position shown in Fig. 1.
By constructing the shelf in this manner it will be practically impossible for the
shelves to fold up when books or other articles are placed on them, but in order to
still further prevent the possibility of such an occurrence, I pivot a bar F, on an
upright C, and extend it across to the upright B.
In this manner I construct a
cheaply made book-rack, which, when opened for use is extremely rigid, but at the
same time may be readily folded for transportation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said.
invention I hereby declare that what I claim is :
1. A rack, consisting of a series of shelves, each shelf pivoted to a pair of
uprights B, at a, and a pair of uprights C. at b, the uprights B, being fitted
together by a cross-bar D, below the pivots a, and the uprights C, by a cross-bar E,
above the pivots b, the uprights B, and C, and further connection by a bar F,
substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. The book-rack hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.

Aerated Wines and Spirits.
We JOSEPH WILLIAM FENN of 23 High Street Hampstead in the County of
London Tailor and EDWARD ABRAHAM of Park Street Ripon in the County of
York Chemist 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 is a new and improved method of retaining the quality and
improving the flavour of wines and spirits by charging them with carbonic acid gas
and thereby purifying the same. In ordinary cases the carbonic acid gas is
generated in a cylinder Number 1 and forced under high pressure into cylinder
(Number 3) containing the wine or spirit intended to be acted upon which takes up
a percentage of the carbonic acid gas. Both cylinders should be capable of with--
standing a pressure of one hundred and twenty pounds to the square inch.
In case of wines of delicate flavour three cylinders capable of withstanding a like
pressure should be used. The carbonic acid gas is generated in cylinder (Number one).
and forced under high pressure into cylinder (Number two) where it is purified
by being forced through a layer of asbestos into cylinder (Number three) in.
which. the liquid to be carbonated has been previously placed. A hollow tube runs
from the bottom of cylinder (Number three) and is connected with a tap at the top.
of the cylinder which when opened allows the liquid to escape into suitable vessels.
The carbonated wine or spirit will in either case be ready for use in a few hours.
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
That the treatment of wine and spirits by carbonic acid gas is a distinct feature.
of novelty.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture and construction and the material used
in the said manufacture of mouthpieces for cigarettes; and consists in making the
said mouthpiece that will entirely prevent the nicotine or oils from entering
the mouth, and also preventing any loose particles of tobacco from entering the
mouth, at the same time producing a perfect mouthpiece, which will remain
perfectly cool while smoking. In carrying my invention into effect for cigarettes
I take a number of tobacco stalks or suitable inaterial of suitable length to form a
mouthpiece until it is equal in diameter to the diameter of a cigarette. The
cigarette is then made with the said stalks at one end and so forms a complete
mouthpiece to the cigarette.

placed in the mouth, and roll them in the ordinary manner for making a cigarette;
thus forming a complete mouthpiece to the cigarette.
1. That it entirely prevents nicotine or oils from passing from the tobacco into
the mouth.
2. That it prevents any loose particles of tobacco from entering the mouth.
3. That it produces a perfect natural mouthpiece.
4. That it remains perfectly cool while smoking.

Hand Starting Gear for Gas, Oil, and other Internal Combustion
Engines.
I, THOMAS HENRY ARMSTRONG of Blanchland House, Willington Quay,
Northumberland, 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 relates to an improved method of starting gas, oil, and other
internal combustion engines. In the annexed drawing my invention is shown.
Fig. 1 shows an end view of engine shaft fitted with the apparatus.
Fig. 2 shows a side view of same.
The engine shaft A is fitted with a loose sleeve or bush B, in which is fixed a
pin C. On this pin the turning handle D fits.
In starting the motor, the handle D is turned smartly round in the direction of
rotation of the engine. In this operation, the heel E of the starting handle, being
slightly eccentric, grips the shaft firmly, and speed on the shaft is readily obtained.
When the engine gets an impulse, the speed of the shaft becomes accelerated, and
the heel E is forced from the shaft and leaves the handle disengaged in the
operator's hands, and the engine shaft is free to revolve without any friction on
the handle D or bush B. The handle D can be readily taken off the pin C
without danger. The bush B with pin C being allowed to remain on the shaft ready
for starting the engine when required.
In the event of a back explosion, that is, should the engine get an impulse too
soon, and thus cause it to revolve in the wrong direction, the position of the sleeve
or bush B is so arranged, that the pin C is always in a line with the crank of
crank shaft and thus the back explosion can only take place when the crank and
the sleeve or bush B are on or near the bottom centre, in that case the operator
will be pulling the handle towards him, and thus it will naturally lose its grip
without danger.
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 eccentric projection on handle, whereby an efficient grip of the shaft is
obtained the formation of which is such that the shaft can revolve in either
direction if power is not applied to the handle.
2. The loose sleeve or bush.
3. The combination of the loose sleeve or bush with pin with handle with
eccentric projection, whereby the handle will always gravitate to the bottom
centre and thus fall off naturally.
4. The arrangement of the toe F, whereby the handle is prevented from
gripping the shaft, if the said shaft revolves in the wrong direction.
