Improvements in Gulley Traps.
I, JOSEPH STAINCLIFFE, of Oakworth, near Keighley, in the County of York,
Mechanic, 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 certain improvements in gulley traps and has for
its object the construction of same in such a manner that it is easily inspected,
self cleansing, entirely prevents any noxious sinells from rising from the drain, and
further that it is capable of receiving a larger volume of water than is the case
with gullies constructed as hitherto.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will describe the same
in detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation of my improved gulley, and
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of same through line a b.
The gulley is composed of an outer and inner casing A. and B. respectively,
the former may be of any convenient shape but the latter I prefer to make cone
shape, and rests on a ledge C. formed on the outer casing A; the joint may be
made tight with cement or other suitable means.
In the bottom of the outer casing A. I place a receptacle D. supported by
legs E. which enter small recesses to prevent the receptacle from being moved out
of position. The bottom of the cone shaped casing B. protrudes into the
receptacle D. and on pouring water or the like into the gulley it is conducted into
the receptacle D. where it overflows at the top in the direction of the curved
arrows into the outer casing A. and then passes out of the outlet F. placed in any
convenient position, but by preference at the bottom as shewn, to the drain.
It will be easily understood that all the water or the like will not leave the
receptacle D, a sufficient quantity remaining as will hermetically seal the bottom
of the cone shaped casing B, thereby preventing any noxious gases rising from
the drain, and at the same time the gulley is easily inspected and is self-
cleansing.
A suitable grate G. may be placed at the top as shown.
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 combination of the outer casing A, inner cone shaped casing B. and
receptacle D. arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and shewn.

THOMAS GEORGE STEVENS 5 Cobham Terrace Greenhithe, Kent, Engineer,
ARTHUR STEVENS 1 Osborne Terrace Swanscombe, Kent, 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:-
In this
This invention relates to a means of fixing or putting in the heads of casks
and barrels during the time they are being trussed by the bell or cone principle.
In order to carry out this invention we use a metal or wood cross-piece.
cross-piece we put a number of suitable spikes. These spikes are for the purpose
of picking up the head, so that it can be held in position during the trussing
operation. That is to say, we place the cross piece on the raise ready for the
trussing operation with the head suspended and hanging level with the groove or
croze, so that as it passes up through the bell or cone, and as the cask becomes
trussed, the head goes into its place.
We make the ends of the cross piece which carries the heads to work
telescopically so that as the end of the cask becomes smaller during the trussing
operation they automatically close in. To suit the curve of staves we cut the heads
on a bevel.
In order to make our invention more clearly understood we have annexed the
following drawings:-
Figure 1. is a plan of the apparatus.
Figure 2. is elevation in section of same.
Figure 3. shows the apparatus supported upon a raise with head suspended ready
for the trussing operation.
Figure 4. is the head with its edges slightly bevelled.
Figure 5. shows the apparatus after it has passed through the bell or cone
with A. A expanded.
A. A. is the telescopical parts which close in as the cask travels up through the
bell or cone.
B. B. are spiral springs which act to automatically open out A. A. when
the cask has passed through the bell or cone, thus leaving the head securely
fitted to the cask or barrel. The apparatus is then removed and an iron or
wood hoop is placed on the end of the cask. It is then released from the trussing
bell or cone.
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 :-
No. 1. An apparatus as described.
No. 2. The fixing of heads into casks and barrels during the trussing operation
by the bell or cone principle particulary as described.
No. 3. An apparatus as described with an automatic action when passing up
through the bell or cone, supported upon a raise with the heads suspended level
with the groove or croze.

d is the vertical pin on which the discs or cymbals are centred.
In order to strengthen the hoop of the tambourine which will be materially
weakened by the larger number of spaces it may be bound with metal or with other
suitable resonant material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what mannor the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. In a tambourine the special form of corrugated metal jingle as herein
described and set forth.
2. In a tambourine the combination of an increased number of openings, in
the rim with special form of corrugated jingle as herein described and set forth.

An Improved Process for Obtaining Acetic Acid from Pyroligneous
Salts.
A communication by Dr. CARL VON DER LINDE, of 192 Uerdingerstrasse, Crefeld,
in the Empire of Germany, Chemist.
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, 118 New Street, Birmingham in
the County of Warwick and 31 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 improved process for obtaining acetic acid
from pyroligneous salts.
The production of acetic acid from pyrolignites has hitherto been effected by
simple distillation of a mixture of pyrolignite of lime or other pyrolignites with
hydrochloric or other suitable acid. The acetic acid thus obtained does not
however possess the necessary purity, more especially when produced by the use of
sulphuric acid.
This improved process has for its object to produce directly a perfectly pure
acetic acid from crude pyrolignites in the following manner :-
The crude pyrolignite is thoroughly decomposed by the use of acids, and the
acetic acid released is distilled in vacuo.
The proportions of acid to pyrolignite of lime or other pyroligneous salts
employed will depend upon the kind of acid employed and the percentage
thereof, and may be accordingly varied, the strength of the acids being selected
according to the required percentage of acetic acid.
The following formulæ are given where pyrolignite of soda (sodium pyrolignite)
sulphuric and hydrochloric acids respectively are employed.
By the use of a vacuum it is possible to reduce the temperature necessary for
distillation, whereby an over-distillation or decomposition of the tar spirit or oils
mixed with the pyrolignite is prevented, and the distillate obtained is free from
all foreign admixtures.
The greater the vacuum, the better will be the distillate as acetic acid which
boils at 119° C. under ordinary atmospheric pressure, boils at 60° C. in vacuo.
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 :-
A process for obtaining pure acetic acid in various degrees of concentration from
pyroligneous salts consisting in decomposing the latter thoroughly with acids, and
distilling over the released acetic acid in a vacuum with the object of preventing

Artificial or Imitation Whalebone.
I, WILHELM HUNKEMÖLLER of 103 Leidschestraat, Amsterdam in the
Kingdom of Holland, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to produce a substance which will form a
substitute for whalebone and may be used for all the purposes to which the latter
is applied.
The substance in question has the great advantage of costing much less than the
real article whilst it possesses all the properties of whalebone as regards elasticity
and durability.
My process consists in treating the sinews and the male sexual organ or pintle of
such animals as oxen, buffaloes and horses, with chromium-alum and chloride of
sodium.
The sinew or tendon and the sexual organ above referred to, being fresh or
salted (but not dried) are left to soak in a solution of chromium-alum to which is
added chloride of sodium (common salt) up to one-twentieth of the weight of
the alum.
The said tendon or urinary organ remains in this solution until it is completely
and thoroughly impregnated with it. After being superficially dried, the tendon
is flattened out to the desired thickness and cut, according to requirements, in
narrow or wide strips. The outer membrane of the above-mentioned organ is
detached from the kernel or inner substance, flattened and cut into strips.
This separation of the outer membrane may take place before soaking in the
chromium-alum.
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 process for manufacturing imitation-whalebone, and which consists in treating
the sinews or tendons and the inale sexual organ of certain animals such as oxen,
buffaloes and horses, with chromium-alum and chloride of sodium as above
described.

rubbing in.
A convenient proportion of the above ingredients is as follows.
To 4 oz. of vaseline add 1 oz. of Barbadoes aloes and 20 drops of carbolic acid,
but without departing from this invention the exact proportions as above given
may be varied as circumstances may require.
The aloe or "Semper vivi" may be employed when possible in its green state
with equal or even better results.
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 preparation for the treatment of horses' and other animals' hoofs consisting
of a mixture of vaseline, Barbadoes aloes and carbolic acid in about the proportions
hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Velocipede Wheels.
I, HUGO NEUMANN of Prinzenstrasse, Berlin, 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:-
This invention relates to wheels for velocipedes, and it consists in a wheel in which
in conjunction with tangential spokes, wire spokes are so located as to extend between
a disc, carried on and in the middle of the wheel shaft, and the wheel rim, that they
lie in the vertical plane passing through the axis of the wheel.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the invention,
Fig. 1 is a side view of a portion of a velocipede wheel with the wheel shaft in
section, and
Fig. 2 is a section on line x-y of Fig. 1.
On the wheel shaft a is mounted a disc b to which by one of their ends are attached
the wire spokes c and by their opposite ends said spokes are connected to the middle
of the wheel rim d. e are the tangential spokes.
The spokes c receive the pressure or strain due to the load upon the wheel when
the tangential spokes bend away from one another and the wheel threatens to bend.
It not infrequently happens that the tangential spokes are bent laterally outwards by
unexpected shocks and in such cases the spokes c take up the load or pressure. The
use of the spokes c permit the spokes generally to be made much lighter and
consequently the wheel is very light and capable of great resistance.
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 a wheel for velocipedes, wire spokes c fixed to a disc b, carried on and in the
middle of the wheel shaft, and to the wheel rim, in combination with the tangential
spokes, for the purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.

I JAMES COCKSHUT of 4 North Grove, Highgate in the County of London,
Paper Stainer do bereby 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 improvements in drawing pins for fastening drawing
paper to drawing boards and has for its object to so construct the said pins that
they can be easily drawn out or detached from the drawing board without
straining the fingers or nails or have recourse to a tool or instrument for this.
purpose.
According to my invention I construct the improved drawing pins with a kind
of double head or with a head having a groove or recess around its circumference
within which the finger nails are inserted for the purpose of drawing the said pin
out of the drawing board.
The said groove or recess forming a sufficient hold or support for the fingers or
nails and preventing undue strain upon the latter when drawing the pin out of the
board however tightly it may be fixed in the same.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrating my invention Figure 1 is a
side view of one of my improved drawing pins Figure 2 is a cross section of the
same and Figure 3 is a plan.
The head of the pin is provided with a double rim a a' between which is formed
a grooved or recessed portion b extending around the circumference of the head,
and c is the pin or point fixed in any suitable manner within the head as shown in
Figure 2.
In order to extract the pin from the drawing board the finger nails are inserted
within the groove or recess b when a small amount of force is sufficient to draw out
the said pin however tightly it may be fixed without straining or injuring the finger
nails.
By means of this improved construction of drawing pin the same is of con-
siderably greater strength than those hitherto in use and by reason of the greater
depth of material for holding the pin or point c the latter is not liable to
become loose or forced out of the head as is so often the case with ordinary drawing
pins.
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. In the construction of drawing pins forming the head with a groove or recess
extending around the circumference of the same substantially as described and for

An Improved Bottle Holder or Carrier.
I WILHELM OTTO, Inspector, of Thurmstrasse 74, Berlin 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:-
This invention relates to a bottle carrier the peculiar construction of which
allows of the bottle surrounded by it being carried without the hand of the person
needing to touch the bottle itself; this bottle carrier is therefore very well adapted
especially for bottles containing oily and thin flowing liquids, for instance,
petroleum.
The annexed drawing shows in Fig. 1 the bottle carrier alone and in Fig. 2 the
same fitted upon a bottle.
As to be seen from Fig. 1 the bottle carrier consists of a wire bent to several
forms and rings, the two ends of which are the hooks A and B. The back part C
which is provided with the handle II and presses forwards by means of the torsion
springs D, D, presses on the bottle surface whilst the neck is surrounded by the
keeper-like bow E adapted to the form of the bottle, and the bottom reposes upon
a bearer formed by the crossing of the connecting wires of the four spring
rings, D, D, F F the bottle itself is prevented from falling out from the framing
by the bows G embracing it like a cramp. For carrying bottles which do not
contain oily or thin flowing liquids, the rings I indicated in the drawing on the
neck of the bottle can be omitted. The rings D, D, F, F on the bottom are
intended to keep together the whole framing and also to prevent the bottom of the
bottle touching the surface on which it may be placed.
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 bottle carrier bent from one piece of wire with a diagonal bearer floor on the
corners of which are formed the rings D and F forming the feet, with a handle H
with hoop-like spring bow E for surrounding the neck of the bottle, the said
carrier being provided also if desired between handle H and bow E with the
torsion springs I.

the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The saddles of cycles and other similar vehicles at present in use have the
disadvantages that they never fulfil completely hygienic requirements; and that
the leather of which they are generally made quickly becomes slack and ceases to
support the rider properly.
The object of the present invention is to produce a saddle which completely
obviates these disadvantages.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings is illustrated a cycle saddle constructed
in accordance with my invention, Figure 1 being a side view, Figure 2 a plan, and
Figure 3, a view as seen from behind.
The saddle consists of a rigid base-plate a which is suitably hollowed out at the
sides of the two seat cushions or pads b, and of a forwardly projecting beak c
which is also provided with a cushion or pad d. The base-plate a rests on the
springs e and e. The whole saddle is fixed to the saddle support by means of the
clamping device f.
This saddle by its peculiar construction completely fulfils hygienic requirements,
and fits the seat of the rider, all pressure on the tender parts of the body is avoided
and consequent diseases prevented.
The base-plate may be made of hard wood or other suitable material.
A channel is formed by the two cushions bb, which promotes the circulation of
air and thereby the cooling of the seat.
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:-
First. A cycle saddle consisting of a rigid base-plate resting on springs, and
provided with cushions corresponding to the seat of the rider, substantially as
described.
Second. In a cycle saddle of the kind forming the subject-matter of the first
claiming clause hereof, the use of a cushion or pad on the beak, substantially as-
described.

Improvements relating to the Tubular Frames of Cycles and like
Vehicles.
T, WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY, of Viaduct Works, Aston, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of improvements relating to the tubular frames of cycles
and like vehicles my object being to build up a strong and durable frame in a inore
expeditious and reliable manner than is possible with the existing ordinary methods of
construction.
In the application of my invention to the construction of a bicycle frame of the
diamond or other like pattern, I form the top tube, the hottom tube, and the diagonal
tube, preferably from one length of tubing bent to the required shape in a suitable
machine or bending appliance. The two extremities of such bent tube are secured to
the steering head in the manner hereinafter described.
At the lower bend of the tube I provide suitable clips and attachments for the
chain stays and I form the bottom bracket and rigidly secure the stays to the framing
by means of a chill stock casting, preferably of aluminium of any required design or
configuration.
At the upper hend of the tube I in like manner attach the upper ends of the back
stays and rigidly secure the same and provide a socket for the reception of the saddle
pillar by a chill stock casting of aluminium as with the bottom bracket.
The extremities of the bent main tube I clamp or otherwise attach to the steering
head and rigidly secure the parts by chill stock castings as herein before described.
By thus adapting chill stock castings of aluminium to the construction of cycle and
other like frames I am enabled to readily produce a complete frame of great strength
and of light weight, dispensing entirely with the brazing or like methods of jointing
together a number of short lengths of tubing employed in the ordinary methods of
construction.

Improvements in and relating to Metallic Packing for Piston Rods
and the like for Fluid Pressure Engines and Machines.
I, JAMES CUTHILL, of the Sewage Pumping Station, Forfar, in the County
of Forfar, Scotland, 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 improvements in metallic packing for piston rods and
the like, for fluid pressure engines and machines, the object being to provide a.
packing which shall be efficient in its action and which can be cheaply made.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing or carrying
the same into effect or practice may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended two explanatory sheets of drawings in which the same reference
numerals are used to indicate corresponding parts in all the figures where shown.
Figure 1. (Sheet 1.) is a longitudinal section of a stuffing box fitted with my
improved packing.
Figure 2. is an enlarged view in section of the packing showing how the
combination acts.
Figure 3. (Sheet 2.) is a part longitudinal section of the outer spring when it is.
partly made; Figure 4. showing it when finished and ready for insertion.
Figures 5. and 6. are similar views respectively of the inner spring.
In carrying out my invention I employ a spring 10. of any suitable material
and of such dimensions that it fits easily into the stuffing box 11. The inner
spring 12. fits in a similar manner the rod 13. The two springs are relatively of
such dimensions that the outer screws on to the inner as shown in Figure 1. 14. is.
ordinary fibrous packing and 15. is similar packing loosely wound round the rod
between the springs. 16. is an ordinary gland and 17. a neck ring. By screwing
up the nuts 18. pressure is applied to the outer ring 10. in the direction of the
arrow A. (Figure 2.) and its inner inclined surfaces 19. which are in contact with.
similar incline planes on the inner ring induce pressure in the direction of the
arrow B. against the surface of the rod 13. In making these springs they are
first made as shown in Figures 3. and 5, that is to say 10. is fitted as a solid nut
upon a solid bolt 12, and after this has been done the metal at. 20. in both is
removed, leaving the threads of the screws in the form of spiral springs.
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.) In metallic packing, the combination and arrangement of parts consisting
of the outer spring 10, inner spring 12, packing 14, and 15, and the ordinary
stuffing box and its appurtenances, all substantially as described.
(2.) The mode or manner of making springs for metallic packing, substantially
as described.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a round galvanized iron, or tin; or any other metalic
receptacle from 1 to 2 inches in depth & having 4 or more tabs fixed upright at
equal distances in the said receptacle the said tabs being 1 inch broad and 4
or 5 in. long, the object of the tabs being to fasten the receptacle to the wicker
work by turning at least 1 inch of each tab over the wicker inwards thus securely
fixing the receptacle to the wicker.
To prevent the tabs wearing the wicker by occasional friction a piece of strong
wire is run round (the wicker) over which tabs are turned.

Improvements in Hosiery.
I ELIZABETH EMMA BOWEN, of Chester, in the County of Delaware, State of
Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Housekeeper 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 hosiery, and more particularly to caps by means of which
the worn heel or toe of the hose may be repaired.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hose embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a detail perspective view of the heel cap; and
Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the toe cap.
In the drawing, 1 denotes a stocking, 2 the heel, and 3 the toe cap, said caps 2 and 3
being formed of material of similar construction to the fabric of which the stocking
is composed.
When the stocking has been worn at the heel, the cap may be easily attached to
the hose over the worn portion thereof, and will thus save the necessity of darning,
and will produce a much nicer appearance and easier and more comfortable repair.
The cap for the toe is of the form shown in Figure 3, and is attached to the toe
of the hose in the same manner as the cap is attached to the heel, and for the same
purpose.
By the employment of these caps, which may be sold to the trade separately, the
housewife may more quickly repair stockings than it could be done were it necessary
to darn them, and the repair will be found to be more easy and comfortable to the
foot than when the hose are darned.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying
drawing, the advantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiring
further explanation.
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
As an improved article of manufacture, the herein described cap for the heels and
toes of hosiery, consisting of a flexible cap of material similar to the body portion
of the hosiery, said cap being adapted to be applied over the portion to be repaired
without previous preparation of the hosiery by seaming, cutting, or removing portions.
of the hosiery, as set forth.

An Improved Filling Material for Dental Purposes.

page_text: An Improved Filling Material for Dental Purposes.
I, ISIDORE CLIFFORD, of 8 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, in the County of
London, Dental Surgeon, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Heretofore gold for dental fillings has usually been employed in one or other of two
forms-viz., crystal or precipitated, and leaf or thin sheet. Each of these has certain
advantages, but the leaf or sheet gold lacks the property of spreading or extending
under pressure, as does the crystal or precipitated gold, and is therefore not so
suitable as the latter kind for filling undercut cavities in the teeth.
Now, according to my invention, in order to combine the advantages of both kinds
of gold, I form a compound material of alternate layers of leaf or sheet gold and
crystal or precipitated gold, the whole being built up to any required thickness, and
formed into plates or slabs of any desired size, from which the portions required for
dental purposes can be removed as occasion demands.

An Improved Filling Material for Dental Purposes.
I, ISIDORE CLIFFORD, of 8 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, in the County of
London, Dental Surgeon, 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, that is to say:-
Heretofore, gold for dental fillings has usually been employed in one or other of
two forms, viz. crystal, or sponge or precipitated, and leaf or sheet gold. Each of
these has certain advantages, but the leaf or sheet gold lacks the property of spreading
or extending under pressure, as does the crystal, sponge or precipitated gold, and is
therefore not so suitable as the latter kind for filling undercut cavities in the teeth.
The crystal or precipitated gold is difficult to manipulate, but its somewhat spongy
nature enables it to expand slightly in the cavity of the tooth, and thus a firmer grip
is obtained.
According to my Invention, I combine the advantages of both kinds of gold and, at
the same time, I obviate the disadvantages incident to the separate use thereof.
