Improvements in Oxy-hydrogen Multiple Jet Apparatus.
We, HENRY BRIER, of 13 Ailsa Drive, Langside, in the County of Renfrew,
Engineer, and THE SCOTCH AND IRISH OXYGEN COMPANY (LIMITED), Rosehill
Works, Polmadie, in the County of Renfrew, 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 to provide means in oxy-hydrogen or lime light
jet apparatus whereby the supply of mixed gases to each of the several jet nozzles
may be regulated and equalized.
To that end we provide a regulating valve or tap in each of the ducts or channels
leading from the gas mixing chamber to the jet nozzles said valve being adapted on
operation by hand to more or less partially close the passage in which it is fitted
and thus control the supply of the mixed gases passing through it.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention,
Figure 1 is a plan of the gas supply piping, mixing chamber and jet nozzles for
an oxy-hydrogen lantern having two jet nozzles.
Figure 2 is a plan of the gas mixing chamber with the nozzles and cover
removed Figure 3 a horizontal section of the same.
Figure 4 a vertical section shewing a modified arrangement of the regulating
valves.
Figure 5 is a vertical section and Figure 6 a plan of the mixing chamber us
adapted for three nozzles.
The construction and arrangement of the gas supply pipes A and B, mixing
chamber with the passages c connecting the supply inlets thereto and the jet
nozzles D are as usual in this class of apparatus, but in the sides, ends or bottom
or other convenient part of the mixing chamber stuffing boxes E are formed through
which are entered screwed or other valves or taps F the preferably cone pointed
ends of which, by turning the valves, are made to partially cover or uncover the
ducts or passages G leading from the mixing chamber C to the nozzles D and control
the passage of the mixed gases. The adjusting devices are applicable to lime light
apparatus provided with two, three or more jets playing either on cylindrical, disc,
or other limes, and to such apparatus adapted for using oxygen and hydrogen or
coal gas or for using oxygen saturated with ether.
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 combination with oxy-hydrogen multiple jet apparatus of regulating taps or
valves arranged to control the passage of the mixed gases from the mixing chamber
to the jet nozzles substantially as described.

A communication from abroad by ADOLF Wyss, of Lyss, Switzerland, Watch
Balance Maker.
I Edgar SamuEL of 97 Market Street Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Watch Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
This invention relates to a three armed oscillating balance for watches, shaped
after the style of those balances hitherto employed, which are fitted with screws in
ring, and inade out of one piece of metal.
The balance consists of a nave, three arms and a hoop with semi-cylindrical
projections, in place of the screws hitherto employed; the said arms hold all the
parts together, and thus the balance is made out of a single piece of any suitable
metal.
Balances answering to the foregoing description bear a strong likeness to the
ordinary balances above referred to but, owing to a better and more exact
distribution of weight they oscillate much more regularly than the latter, and
run very smoothly.

A New or Improved Method and Apparatus for Testing the
Adhesiveness of Glue, and such like.
I, GEORG SEELIGMANN of 16 Friedrich Wilhelm Strasse, Berlin, Germany,
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 has for its object to ascertain the adhesiveness of glue and the
like and it is based upon the experience gained from several experiments whereby
the adhesive power of glue has been found to correspond to the quantity of water
absorbed by the ends of a piece or stick of the material firmly held in a state of
suspension or balanced at its centre of gravity in such manner as to break at the
centre, in consequence of the gradually increasing weight of the ends and the loss
or destruction of the cohesiveness of the glue. The greater the pressure required
to do this the greater is the adhesive strength of the glue.
The method of doing this consists, therefore, in supporting the piece or stick of
glue to be tested, and which has been previously weighed in a vessel of water, in
such manner that the piece of glue will, at its centre of gravity, always remain at
the same height whilst its ends will be free to descend slowly under the gradually
increasing weight. The arrangement is such that the quantity of water absorbed,
can, after the piece has been broken, be readily ascertained.
On the annexed drawing an apparatus is shown, in longitudinal section, by
means of which the process can be carried out.
The apparatus consists of an open water tank or vessel a having a rounded
ridge & fitted therein at the proper height. If desired inclined planes c, c² can be
fitted at each side of the ridge as shown in dotted lines.
After the vessel has been filled with water the piece of glued is carefully
balanced on the ridge which serves as a fulcrum. As a result of the absorp-
tion of water by the glue its cohesive force is gradually weakened until,
eventually, it is entirely overcome and the piece breaks at the centre along the
supporting ridge.
In order to secure the stick in place and prevent it falling or slipping off the
ridge it may be found advantageous to use the S shaped holders e, e', as shown.
The curvature of these holders is preferably such as to suit the various lengths of
the sticks of glue requiring to be tested.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :—
The method of ascertaining the adhesiveness of glue and the like consisting in
finding out the amount of water necessary to be absorbed in order to break a stick
or piece of glue supported, in the manner hereinbefore described, at its centre of
gravity.

An Improved Bin or Receptacle for Flour and the like.
1 PERCY YOUNG of 60 Mark Lane in the City of London Flour 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 :-
My invention relates to improvement in bins or receptacles for holding flour and
the like. It is constructed of galvanized iron or other metal, or of wood papier-.
maché or any other material.
Hitherto all bins or receptacles for holding flour and the like, have so been.
constructed, that internally, there are joints or seams forming creases into which.
flour or other contents find a lodgment, this in course of time decomposes and:
generates mites and other organisms which are detrimental to the contents of the
bin or receptacle.
Now in accordance with my invention I construct my bin or receptacle, so that
the bottom is rounded to the sides, being so joined, that there is no seam or crease
internally, into which flour and the like can find a lodgment.
My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, Figs. 1 and 2 being
side elevations of my improved bin, constructed of black steel, with one side joint,
from top to bottom, formed in the same manner as the joints B in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. represents the rounded bottom A in a position to be hooked into the sides,.
at the joints B. The lid G is loose.
Fig. 2. represents the whole parts secured together, the joints D being hooked in.
and closed by pressure. A hooped bottom surrounds the bin at E to form a stand
and strengthen it, when completed the whole is dipped into melted zinc.
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 improvement in and relating to bins or receptacles for holding flour and the
like, by so constructing them, as to have no internal joint or crease into which
matter of any kind can collect and by remaining there deteriorate, to the detriment.
of the contents of the bin or receptacle.

Improvement in or relating to Paper suitable for Writing
Purposes.
I, FERDINAND EDUARD ULLSTEIN, trading as H. H. Ullstein, Manufacturer,
of Brühl 2, Leipzig, in the Kingdom of Saxony, 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 paper treated in such a manner as to assume the
appearance of imitation leather, and bas for its object the cheap production of
letter-paper or circulars which attract notice by their uncommon appearance.
Unfinished, but sized, paper, either white or coloured by the addition of colouring
matter to the pulp, is finished by passing it through an ordinary embossing or
goffering machine, the embossing rollers of which are so engraved as to produce
on the surface of the paper broken lines or indentations similar to those found on
leather. Afterwards the paper may be coated with flexible varnish adapted to
increase the resistance of the surface to external injury and to improve its
appearance; and it is cut into sheets of the required size, such as are customary
for note paper, letter paper, circulars, or book wrappers.
The paper used as a raw material in this process should be suitable for writing
purposes; the rollers of the embossing machine should be heated, as is the case
in the manufacture of smooth hot-pressed paper, and the varnish or lacquer used
for coating the paper may be similar to that commonly used in the manufacture
of artificial leather. It may for instance, be composed of linseed oil and
vegetable wax.
The principal feature of this invention thus consists in taking unfinished paper
of a kind suitable for writing paper, and converting it into imitation leather by
means of embossing rollers.
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 of fancy paper by treating unfinished paper of a kind
suitable for writing purposes in an embossing machine adapted to impart to it the
appearance of leather, and then cutting it to sizes suitable for letter paper,
circulars, or book wrappers, with or without previous lacquering.
2. As a new article of manufacture, writing paper embossed and finished like
artificial leather, substantially as described.

Improvements in Commodes.
I, FRITZ STEGEN of 10, Nordfelderreihe, Hannover, 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 has for its object a close-stool, which can be connected with a
washband-stand or other cupboard-like piece of furniture, in such manner, that
when not in use it is hidden from view in the washhand-stand, but when required
can be easily drawn out; and on drawing out as well as on pushing in, sets an
arrangement in operation which causes some desinfecting fluid to low into the
close-stool-pan.
On the drawing, the close-stool is shewn in connection with a washhand-stand.
Fig. 1 is the front view.
Fig. 2 a section with close-stool drawn out.
Fig. 3 a section with close-stool pushed in.
The front part of the seat-board b rests upon the legs 7, whilst the back part is
supported by the four swinging stays a. On the under side of the seat-board 6 are
two grooves n, in which the rim of the close-stool-pan e slides, so that it comes
under the opening of the seat-board. The stays a are connected with the seat-
board band the bottom z by movable hinges v, and always stand parallel to one
another. The extent of their swing is limited by the jointed stays d d', in the
slots e of which, the pins f, fastened on the seat-board, slide. In position for use,
shewn in Fig. 2, the close-stool hangs on the jointed stays d d' and further finds a
firm stand in the two upright supports. During the movement of drawing out
into position for use, a cock m is opened for a short time by a jointed stay k, and
permits a small amount of desinfecting fluid to flow out of the receptacle r, placed
in the back of the drawer, through the tube t. This is provided with a rose h, for
the purpose of equal distribution of the fluid, and which is let into the under-side
of the seat-board b. After using, the close-stool is put back into the interior of
the cupboard. The cock thereupon opens again for a short time and allows some
desinfecting fluid to flow over the contents of the vessel c, whereby the escape of
bad smells is avoided. The filling of the receptacle for the desinfecting fluid is
effected through the inlet i which is usually closed by a plug.
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 combination of a washhand-stand or other cupboard-like furniture with a
seat-board b, having upright supports and a close-stool-pan c, and the parallel
stays a hinge-like-movable on the seat-board 6 and bottom z, and the jointed
stays d d with slots e for supporting the seat-board, and the jointed stay k for
opening and closing the cock m.

Improvements in and appertaining to Electrodes.
We, HENRY LEITNER, Philologist and EMANUEL REICHER, Actor both of Nieder-
Schönhausen 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 :-
The object of the present application for Letters Patent consists of an improved
electrode compounded of lead peroxide and carton prepared in tubular form and in such
a manner that the outside is composed of a firm mass of carbon, whilst the inside is
composed of a firm mass of peroxide of lead. This latter is made conducting by
means of an admixture of carbon dust and is forced into the carbon tube under
pressure, into the pores of which it penetrates to the depth of several millimetres.
In this manner is constructed an electrode of peroxide of lead and carbon
characterised by its relatively large efficiency and which is very resistant to external
influences. The electrode prepared in the above described manner is surrounded by a
mantle of insulating material in such a manner that the same constitutes a receptacle
which can be filled with sulphuric acid.
The accompanying drawing shews the invention in longitudinal section, in which
a is the carbon tube which forms a firm compact mass with the tube b of peroxide of
lead. Outside the carbon tube is arranged an envelope c of celluloid, ambroin,
(Eng. Pat. 14,334 of 1895) or other suitable and resistant insulating material.
This envelope forms also the bottom d. The core is formed of a vulcanite staff e
designed to support a lead tube f. Upon this tube f chemically pure zinc 9 is
precipitated. One pole clutch is attached to the lead peroxide and carbon electrode
and the other to the zinc sheath and when the cell is filled with acidulated water or
the like, the electrodes can serve either as a primary or as a secondary element,
according as the same is to be electrically charged or otherwise. If the apparatus be
designed for use as a dry cell, it is only necessary to replace the sulphuric acid
solution by suitable moistened pulverulent material or other suitable material and
to close up the upper end of the electrode.
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 herein before described tubular electrode of lead peroxide and carbon forming
a cell together with its envelope, containing a second electrode of zinc deposited
on lead.

Improvements in Separable Boats.
I, HUBERT LEFEBVRE of 10 Rue Erard Paris, France, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
According to this invention a boat is made up of a number of compartments
each having its sides ends and bottoms of aluminium plate rivetted so as to form a
complete watertight compartment. Two of the compartments are specially and
similarly shaped to form the prow and stern, two others are likewise shaped alike
to fit next to the prow and stern, all the others of which there may be various
numbers, for example, 8 or 12, are shaped alike so that they can be fixed together
end to end in any order, to form the body of the boat between the two com-
partments at the prow and stern respectively. Each compartment is provided with
a pair of keels, and with stiffening bars at its upper edges, also, when the boat is
deep, with stiffening bars about midway along the sides. The keels and stiffening
bars of each compartment are secured to those of the next by clamps, which,
with the keels and stiffening bars, constitute longitudinal ribs holding all the
compartments firmly together, and giving longitudinal rigidity.
The ends of each compartment are made about half the height of the sides, and
as the sides are wider at the top than at the bottom, the compartments can be
packed together in a steady and compact manner in tiers, each receiving one above
it packed halfway into it. A number of the intermediate compartments packed
thus together and surmounted by a pair of the end compartments may be piled
on a wheeled axle, and shafts being attached in front, the whole can be transported
overland.

DAVID GRINDLAY ROBERTSON Number Thirteen Murieston Crescent Edinburgh
Golf Club Maker 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 golf club head, with or without horn, or brass, on sole, but without lead at
the back and made of leather, in any style or shape as in the golf club heads made
of wood presently in use, the leather being in layers, or pieces placed in an
upright, or perpendicular position, as shown by the dotted lines in the drawings,
and cemented together with glue or other material, and compressed together in a
mould, so as to make it solid and also waterproof and unbreakable.
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. That the golf club head made of leather, with or without horn, or brass, on
sole, but without lead at back is more evenly balanced than the golf club head
made of wood presently in use, thus enabling the player to drive the ball straight
and reducing the tendency of the club to turn or twist in the hands of the player
when in the act of striking the ball.
2. That the neck and "skear" of the club head being made entirely of leather
the spring of the club is brought nearer the club head and the ball when struck in
the act of playing is thus driven with more certainty and to a greater distance
than is possible with the club head made of wood presently in use.
3. That they are waterproof.
4. That they may be made with or without horn, or brass, on sole of the club
head.
5. That they are unbreakable.

Holland, Manufacture, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same 18 to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement and accompanying drawings .—
-
My said invention relates to buttons and fasteners for application to boots aud
shoes At present such buttons are usually made with attached eyes by which they
are sewn to the leather or fabric The improved button or fastener forming the
subject matter of my invention is made in one piece, being shaped by turning,
pressing, casting or other suitable menus and in such a manner that no sewing is
required to secure it to the leather or tabiic.
The invention will be best understood by a reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings which illustrate the improved button or fastener to an enlarged
scale.
Fig. 1 is a side view
Fig. 2 13 a plan of the foot.
Fig. 3 18 a section of Fig. 1 at the line ..
The foot of the button or fastener consists of two collars o
uffs a, b. The
head of the button is marked c The lower collar b is formed with a projecting
spiral tongue which is formed out of the material of the collar and which appears
clearly in Figs. 1 and 2
When securing the button to the leather or fabric I insert this spial tooth 61
into the hole in the material and turn the button round, the foot being thereby
screwed on forced or sprung through the hole so that the material lies between the
collais a and b
The tongue may then be flattened down and the button is securely held in
position by the leather or fabric
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what mauuer the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim 18.
The improved button or fastener formed in one piece with the foot, the said foot
being composed of two collars, the lower collar having a projecting spial tongue
which enteis a hole made in the material and admits of the collar being screwed or

HENRY BROOKS, 8, Oxford Circus Avenue, W. London Manufacturer, do-
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Instead of inserting loose nuts into pillars or stands by driving them into the
wood or soldering them to the metal pillars I cast an abutment or projection inside.
a metal case or pillar, all in one piece, this abutment is then screw threaded and
forms a nut to receive the screw, when such pillars are made of metal the
projections of such pillars can be let into countersunk metal stands and further
secured in position by a nut underneath the stand, what I particularly claim is the
abutment for nut cast in one piece inside a case made of any kind of metal.

HENRY BROOKS 219 Shaftesbury Avenue London W.C. Manufacturer of
Music Stool late of 8 Oxford Circus Avenue W. 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:-
Instead of inserting loose nuts into pillars of music stools or stands by driving
them into the wood or soldering them to the metal pillars, I cast a tube A
contracted inside in one portion of its length to enable this reduced portion B to.
be tapped or threaded with a screw thread to receive the male screw attached to
the rising portion of the stool. When such pillars or tubes A are made of metal,
the arms or projections of such pillars can be let into a stand countersunk to
receive such, and can be further secured in position by a nut or bolt underneath
the stand.
When building up stools with brass legs, they can be fixed into and underneath
the projection arms C. attached to tube A. equally distributing the weight of the
sitter over the legs and pillar, which pillar is connected by tie or stays from
tube A. to the brass legs.
When wooden legs are used, they are let into a square or round piece of wood
which receives on the top or surface the tapped tube A. with projecting arms C.
thus distributing the weight of the sitter equally over all the legs, and not on the
centre pillar only.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The casting of a metal tube or pillar A. constructed inside to form the nut B

with 2, 3 or 4 projecting arms C. at the top end to which can be affixed metal or

An Improvement in Golf Balls.
1, GEORGE MElville, M.B.C.M., of Brae House, Penicuik, in the County
of Midlothian, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to golf balls, and it consists in moulding or otherwise
forming the surface with raised ridges where grooves are formed in crossing
circular lines around the ordinary make of golf ball, the raised portions of the
ordinary ball being replaced by depressions or cellular cavities, so that a honey-
combed formation is imparted to the surface of the ball.
By so forming the surface the flight of the ball is greater and truer either with or
against the wind, the ball on being struck is less liable to be sliced or driven in any
direction but the straight one and the ridged surface of the ball serves the same
purpose as the formation of a like surface on the face of the clubs as commonly
used. The greater part of the surface of the ball being depressed the amount of
contact between ball and club is lessened and the coating of paint on the ball as
also the ball itself is not so easily damaged.

I, GEORGE MELVILLE, M.B.C.M., of Brae House, Penicuik, in the County
of Midlothian, 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 improvement in the construction of golf balls.
As represented in elevation and in section at Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying
drawings it consists in forming the surface of the ball with a series of raised
ridges a in lieu and in place of the depressions or grooves in the ordinary make of
golf ball hitherto in use, and by crossing these ridges, leaving a series of
depressions 6 between said ridges as shewn; said ridges a and depressions b varying
more or less as to size and shape, but preferably of the size and shape represented
in said drawings.
By such formation, (1) The ball bites the club keenly and the liability to slice is
minimized. (2) The flight of the ball is greater and truer. (3) The ball retains
its shape better in consequence of the force or impact being cushioned by said
ridging. (4) It retains its colour longer, the paint being protected by said
ridges.

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, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
A golf ball formed with raised ridges in the surface instead of grooves
substantially as described with reference to the annexed drawings.
