I ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication from
James Livingston Ely of Jersey in the County of Hudson in the United States of
America, Publisher), 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 novel construction of an automatic discharging
grenade, of which a full and clear description will be given hereinafter.
The first part of this invention consists of a grenade having a cylindrical
metallic shell screwed, cemented or otherwise secured to the upper end of the
neck thereof in such a manner as will permit it to project above the same. The
upper end of this metallic shell is also provided with screw threads adapted to
receive a glass stopper, or the stopper may be properly cemented therein, but in
either case the ends of the metallic shell forming the joints in the neck of the
grenade will be closed so as to hermetically seal the contents therein.
This metallic cylindrical shell is composed of metal or a composition of metals,
whereby the same will fuse at a predetermined degree of heat.
The drawing represents a part sectional elevation of a grenade with the improved
neck thereon.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawing, in which a
represents a grenade, b the neck thereof, with the metallic cylindrical shell c
secured thereto. d is the glass stopper which is also properly secured to the
shell c.
The form shown is adapted for stores where they may be arranged on the rear
portions of shelves, or under the counters etcetera, should a fire break out on the
shelves, the metal forming the neck of the grenade will fuse and thereby allow
the gas to pass therefrom to the flames it will smother or extinguish them. I do
not claim a hermetically sealed grenade to be new nor neither do I claim a fusible
metal connected with a fire extinguisher to be new.

page_text: Having now particularly deseribed and ascertained the nature of the said
invention 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
In an automatic discharging grenade the neck or body thereof provided
with a fusible metal secured thereto in manner that will hermetically seal the
contents thereof, the metal being of a nature to fuse at a predetermined degree
of heat, whereby the hermetieal sealing may be opened to allow the gas to pass
therefrom.

page_text: I, CHARLES VAN HAM, Manufacturer, of rue des Peignes, Antwerp, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to preserve corn and other cereals from decay
while being stored in buildings or silos.
For this purpose the cells or compartments of the storing room are surrounded
with double walls leaving an air space between them, or are. built up of hollow
bricks, thus providing round each cell or compartment air passages into which the
vapours and moisture from the grain may escape. The porous nature of the bricks
facilitates the extraction of moisture from the grain, and the currents of air passing
up the clearance space or air passages formed between the walls dry the outside of
the inner brick wall and carry off the moisture exuded by the bricks.
Brick walls without intervening spaces would not serve the same purpose,
because the extraction of moisture from the grain would cease as soon as the pores.
of the bricks are fully charged.
The exhaustion of the air from the intervening spaces may be promoted by the
use of a chimney, and produces the same effect in case of very damp weather.
My improvement can be applied to existing vertical store rooms for grain by
building brick chimneys in the interior of the said store room or by surrounding
them with hollow walls as described.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a horizontal section of part of a store
room composed of hexagonal cells, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of one of the
hollow walls; A, A are the brick walls, B the intervening air spaces.
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
Storing rooms for cereals, surrounded or traversed by brick walls forming air
passages, substantially as described.

page_text: improving the Backs of Pianos and the method of Fitting the
Wrest Plank to the same.
EDWARD BISHOP, Belmont St Chalk Farm London N W. Pianoforte Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVING THE BACKS OF PIANOS
& THE METHOD OF FITTING THE WREST PLANK TO THE SAME, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
A long experience has proved that all pianos more especially Iron framed ones
have a tendency to fall flat about the centre due to the very severe strain on that
part of the instrument, & to obviate this fault I have invented a new method of
making up the back, & of fitting Wrest plank to the same as specified below.
The main bracings Marked A are placed in an angular position giving the back
a rigidity never before attained and a metal tube Marked B is bedded vertically
between these angular bracings fitting into plates at top & bottom of back, while
the introduction of a stay Marked C in the plank & bracings, makes the back proof
against the greatest strain. By the use of this stay, which is in the form of a
triangle equally grooved into the back and the wrest plank, all pressure is equalised
& a down pull rendered impossible.
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 claim is
(1.) The angular bracings Marked "A" & blocks for same, also metal tube
Marked B passing between the angular bracings.
(2.) The triangular stay Marked "C" & method of grooving same into the back
& wrest plank.

IMPROVE- MENTS IN COLLAR STUDS
Year: 1885

page_text: I WILLIAM JOHN TANNER of 5 Argyll Road Kensington in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN COLLAR STUDS to be as follows:-
I make the collar stud so that the head is of greater length than breadth.
By having the head of an oval eliptical or the like figure instead of round it more
easily passes through the button hole of the shirt & collar and prevents it from
being stretched and torn. I make the shank of the collar stud so that in cross
section it is of greater length than breadth in order to prevent the stud from
turning when in the button hole. In order to keep the necktie in its place over
the stud I arrange that one or more spikes either straight waved or spiral is
made to move in and out of the head of the stud by turning or pressing the base
by which means the necktie is detached and attached to the stud I make the
periphery of the base either waved serated milled or the like, I also sometimes
make the base star shaped, or so that a cross section of it is greater in length than
breadth.

page_text: I WILLIAM JOHN TANNER of 5 Argyll Road Kensington in the County of
Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN COLLAR STUDS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
I make a collar stud (Fig. 1) of which A is the head. B a hollow shank. O the
base. D is a spike one end of which is straight waved or spiral or in the form of
a clip & the other end of which is attached to the base C. The spike D attached
to the base C is made to move in the hollow shank B in such a manner that when
the base C is touching the bottom of the hollow shank B the point of the spike D
is beyond and through the head A. When the base C is withdrawn from the
hollow shank B the point of the spike is within the head A (Fig. 2).
By this means when the point of the spike is within the head (Fig. 2) the shirt
and collar can be buttoned in the usual manner and the necktie put on, and then
in order to prevent the necktie from getting out of place by pressing or turning
the base C the point of the spike will pass through the head (Fig. 1) into the
necktie and keep it fastened to the collar stud and by the reverse action on the
base the point of the spike can be withdrawn from the necktie into the head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what
I claim is
1. The use of a spike or spikes one end of which may be straight spiral or waved
or in the form of a clip and so constructed that such end is made to move in and
out of the head of the stud by turning or pressing the base substantially as
described and for the purpose set forth.

I WILLIAM BARRY RITCHIE of Belfast in the County of Antrim, Ireland, Felt
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:-
The object of this invention is to provide a cheap and efficient material for
preventing the adhesion of the contact surfaces of roofing, sheathing, and other
bituminous or resinous felts, when made up into rolls or packages and prepared for
the market.
To attain this object, I take finely ground peat, or peat-moss, and dust the same
over the surface of the felt, the same having been manufactured in the usual, or
any approved manner.
This dusting over of the fabric is preferably effected by placing a quantity of
dust in the hollow of the fold of Felt as it rises to the rolling table, by which
means a uniform and adequate coating is spread over it, but it may be applied in a
satisfactory manner by hand dusting, or by any suitable feed motion.
When thus prepared, the fabric may be rolled up upon itself, or made up in
packages in the usual manner of preparing it for the market, without risk of any
adherence taking place between the contact surfaces.
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
The application to roofing, sheathing, and other bituminous or resinous Felts, of

We THOMAS BUCKLEY and SAMUEL BUCKLEY of the firm of John Lees Buckley
& Sons of Wood Mill, Woodley near Stockport in the County of Chester, Wool
Carders and Fur Blowers, do hereby declare the nature of our invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN FUR BLOWERS OR PICKERS ALSO APPLICABLE TO FUR
FORMING MACHINES," "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 improvements in Fur Blowers or Pickers
whereby the fur is brought into closer contact with the picker rollers and thus the
fibre is more completely opened than heretofore and consists in dispensing with the
lower fluted feed rollers and substituting a metal plate therefor which it is found
practicable to bring up into almost touching contact with the picker roller. The
upper feed roller is still retained and revolves in close contact with the said plate-
In this manner the fibre is led up to the picker rollers more perfectly and closely
than has hitherto been practicable and hence the more perfect in its action.
We are also enabled by this improvement to obviate the tendency which has
existed hitherto for the fibre to become wrapped around the feed roller.
And in order that this our said invention may be the more readily understood
and carried into practical effect we have hereunto annexed a drawing illustrative
of our improvements and will now proceed to describe the same with the assistance
of the letters of reference maked thereon.
Fig. 1 represents a side sectional view of so much of a Fur Blower or Picker as
is necessary to explain our improvements which are shewn applied thereto.
A is the ordinary picker roller revolving in the direction of the arrow and B is
the top feed roller which is illustrated with projecting teeth but we do not
necessarily explain such teeth.
Instead of having a corresponding lower feed roller we substitute therefor a
curved metal plate the front edge c of which it will be observed is brought up
into almost touching contact with the teeth of the picker roller A. The upper
feed or nip roller B revolves in the direction of the arrow in close contact with the
upper curved surface of this plate. By means of this improved arrangement we
are enabled to clear or pick shorter fibre than has hitherto been practicable we

page_text: avoid the tendency to wrap round the feed roller which has hitherto existed—and
we also economise the driving power.
As applied to the feed rollers of fur forming machines we substitute the curved
plate herein before described for the bottom feed or nip roller-and thus are enabled
to bring up the fur closer to the cylinder than heretofore.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention,
we declare that what we claim is
The application to Fur blowers or pickers and Fur forming machines of a curved
plate or metal bar in place of the bottom nip or feed roller substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore described.

This invention has for its object improvements in coffee pots and strainers for
the same which renders the parts far more proportionate to each other and more
effective and more accessible and much easier cleaned.
.In order that my invention may be better understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings showing two views of
a coffee pot with my improvements applied thereto, and upon which
Figure 1. is a part sectional elevation of the Coffee Pot and strainer in position.
Figure 2. is a plan with the lid lifted.
Now on reference to the drawings it will be seen that the coffee pot is made with
a large projecting bead A, at the bottom which adds considerable strength and
stiffness to the base and a similar bead B finishes the top part of the pot leaving it
perfectly open and accessible to the hand when the strainer D is lifted out so that
the inside of the pot may be cleaned and even polished almost as easily as the
outside parts. The strainer D is made almost the full size of the top of the pot
and is fitted with the lid C which shuts well over the outer top band E of the
strainer D. This top band E is turned under at e¹ to receive the outward turned
edge of the strainer and the upper edge e² is turned over to cover the top bead B
of the pot and the lid C is turned down sufficiently to cover the whole so that the
ordinary appearance of the Coffee Pot top is retained. It will thus be seen that
the strainer D is one with the ring E and that the cover C and strainer are
constructed to be self contained and lifted away together. It will thus be seen
that there is no internally projecting flange on my new Coffee Pots.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The improvements in coffee pots and strainers for the same of the pot constructed
with the bead A and B covered by the top e² of the strainer D as herein set forth
n such a manner as to allow the pot to be perfectly cleaned inside while the
strainer is much larger in compacity.

APPLIANCE FOR USING A CLOSED COOKING RANGE AS AN OPEN FIRE
Year: 1885

page_text: "
I, PERCY DAVID HEDDERWICK, of 10 Heathfield Road, Acton in the County
of Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
APPLIANCE FOR USING A CLOSED COOKING RANGE AS AN OPEN FIRE" and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Many cooking ranges are made with their fires covered by a plate and are so
arranged that the hot products of combustion pass on their way to the chimney
through flues heating ovens or boilers. My invention relates to an appliance
whereby, without altering any part of the structure of such fireplaces, the fire can
be used as an open fire for warming or drying objects in front of it, or heating
vessels hung over it, as I will describe referring to the accompanying drawing,
which shews in perspective an appliance according to my invention in position for
use. A is the fire grate which is usually covered by a plate, and B is the register
or door which is usually provided to give access to the chimney for cleaning, and
which may be more or less opened to carry off fumes from the space under the
chimney breast. I provide a removable hood H, which at the bottom has an
opening coinciding, or nearly so, with the top of the fire, which is open in front for
part of its height, and which has at the top a mouth coinciding, or nearly so, with
the opening of the register B, this mouth being sufficiently far below the cover of
the fire place to allow of the register being moved. The ordinary cover plate of
the fire being removed or folded back against the wall, the hood H is put in
position, and the register B being opened, the fire can be used as an open fire, the
smoke and products of combustion passing up within the hood and thence through
the register opening.
From the sloping front of the hood a chain C is suspended to hang a vessel over
the fire. I attach its uppermost link to a notched bar N, which can be drawn
more or less up through a slit in the hood cover and held by one or other of its
notches being engaged on the front edge of the slit.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The appliance for using a closed cooking range as an open fire substantially as
herein described and illustrated by the drawing.
“Leno Stripes.”
Year: 1885

page_text: .
called “Leno Stripes.”
I, GEORGE PICKUP HARTLEY, of the Shelley Road Mills, Preston, in the County
of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner and 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 of an improved manufacture of cloth or material of the kind
called "leno stripes" consists in making the stripes forming the pattern to run
lengthwise of the piece instead of crosswise thereof as in the case of cloth known
as "leno cross-overs" in which the stripes run from selvage to selvage. According
to my invention the body of the stripe is held together that is to say is prevented
from spreading or widening out during the processes of bleaching and finishing by
being fastened in by means of two fine threads of the warp which are caused to be
twined together by the ordinary process of "lenoing" at the respective edges of
each stripe. I employ the usual well-known arrangement of apparatus for
"lenoing or twining the fastening threads which are preferably of finer yarn
than that in the rest of the stripe in order that the edges may be even with or
about the same thickness as the material forming the body of the stripe.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the arrangement of the warp, weft, and
fastening in threads of the improved cloth or material when woven.
A is the selvage; B B are stripes running lengthwise of the piece; CC the
warp; and D D the weft. The body of the stripes is shewn in the drawing
woven "plain" having at each side or edge the fastening in threads E E which
are twined in and out in the ordinary manner of lenoing but preferably over and
under each one of the weft threads.
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
The manufacture of the improved cloth or material "leno stripes" with the
stripes forming the pattern arranged lengthwise of the piece and formed or
provided at their respective edges with threads twined together for the purpose
set forth as hereinabove described.
