An Improved Process for Printing and Shaping Textile Materials.
We, JOHANN MARTIN SEITZ and CARL WILLIAM WEISE, both of Saint
Gallen, Switzerland, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, 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 printing upon textile materials complete designs for
articles such as aprons, children's collars handkerchiefs, necties, and sunshade
coverings by means of an ordinary lithographic printing press so that the act of
printing at the same time shapes the outline of the article to be produced.
If, for instance, it be desired so manufacture an apron a piece of material of the
size of the apron is printed from the stone in fast colours by means of a lithographic
printing press, the stone having been provided with a design corresponding to the
shape of the apron comprising a border exactly corresponding to the external shape
which it is desired to impart to the apron.
If it be desired to provide the apron with a scalloped border, the border pattern
on the stone must be made to correspond. After the apron has been printed,
the points or curves of the border are run over with a chain stitch sewing machine
and afterwards cut out.
The principal advantages of this method of procedure over the ordinary plan of
printing from rollers are the following: The design can be chosen so as to
correspond with the nature of the article to be manufactured and is consequently
complete in itself the border of the design corresponding to the outer form of the
completed article. The designs also appear sharper and more accurately reproduced,
and delicate tones and shades can be brought out with much more effectiveness
than is the case with roll presses. It also becomes unnecessary to employ a pattern
for making the jagged or scalloped borders as these are printed on at the same time
as the rest of the design.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
Printing upon textile materials designs for such articles as aprons, children's
collars, neckties, handkerchiefs, sunshade coverings and the like, by means of a litho-
graphic printing press, in such a manner as to produce the outer form or border of
the article simultaneously with the printing of the design.

communicating with the said groove or channel C is a slit D from the outside of the
said head.
In order to remove a hook or artificial fly from its position within the fish, the
line is held with one hand, whilst the other hand applies my improved "disgorger"
to the line by means of the slit D; as soon as the line is in the groove or channel C,
the "disgorger" is pushed down the line until it comes in contact with the hook
or artificial fly, which is forced back or unhooked, during which action the stem
of the hook or artificial fly connected with the line passes into the channel or
groove C, the hook engages with and is retained by the end or nose E of the
disgorger." The hook or artificial fly can then be readily withdrawn, and the
shoulder F prevents the hook catching in the throat or gut of the fish during such
removal.
The said channel or groove C also protects the "dressing" of the flies by means
of the enlarged opening G.
The said improved appliance may be made of wood, metal, or other suitable
materials.

An Improvement Applicable to Gloves.
I THOMAS THOMPSON DORRINGTON of 15 Lever Street Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Agent, 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 applicable to that class of gloves which are made with "gauntlets"
and which owing to the stiffness of the material of which the gauntlets are made, or
to their being stiffened with cardboard or other similar material placed inside, cannot
be folded or rolled up and placed in the pocket without permanently crumpling or
injuring the appearance or "set" of the gauntlets.
The object of my invention is to remedy this defect and to enable gauntlet gloves
to be conveniently rolled or folded up, and placed in the pocket without doing any
permanent or visible injury to the gauntlet.
For this purpose I propose to make the gauntlets of sheet india rubber (preferably
inodorous), and of a suitable thickness, and to cover and by preference to line
the same with the skin or other fabric or material of which the glove is made or
with any other suitable material.
Gauntlets made in this way may be folded or rolled up with impunity, and when
opened out the resiliency of the material is such that they will readily return to
their original form, without showing any folds or creases or other detriment.
I may here observe that although I prefer to use sheet india rubber for this
purpose any other suitable material may be employed, provided that it possesses
such flexible and resilient properties as will allow of its being folded or rolled, and
when released cause it to resume its original form without showing folds or creases,
such for example as some kinds of Indian and other grasses or tough and springy
fibres, or fine horse hair plaited or woven in a kind of cloth might answer the
purpose.
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 manufacture of gauntlets for gloves of sheet india rubber suitably covered
and lined, or of any other suitable material possessing sufficient flexibility and
resiliency to enable it to be folded or rolled up, and to cause it when released to
assume its original form, without showing folds or creases, substantially as herein-
before described.

Improved Construction of Tobacco Pipe with Means for Condensing
and Purifying the Smoke.
I, WILHELM BENJAMIN HAAS, of the firm W. B. Haas and Co., 6 Castle
Street, Falcon Square, City of London, Tobacco Pipe 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 arrange within the stem of a tobacco pipe a
system of concentric tubes and a reservoir in such a way that the smoke is made to
circulate in a to-and-fro path from the pipe bowl, the smoke being cooled and
condensed in its passage before reaching the mouth of the smoker where it
arrives in a condition free from moisture or nicotine oil, and perfectly cool and
purified.
The construction of this improved pipe is shown in the annexed drawings, in
which
Figure is a section of the pipe complete.
Figure 2 a section of the reservoir liner of vulcanized rubber, or other material,
and the tube communicating with the bowl; and
Figure 3 a section of the condensing tube and the mouthpiece.
A is the bowl from which the smoke passes through the tube B to the condenser
tube C which it traverses in the contrary direction, allowing time for the moisture
and oil in the smoke to condense and collect before escaping through the holes D, D,
into the reservoir liner E, and from there it passes through a hole F in the end of
the condenser tube C, and so to the mouthpiece G. The smoke has therefore to
circulate to and fro three times from bowl to mouthpiece, during which time it
frees itself of its moisture and oil, and arrives cool and fresh to the mouth of the
smoker, and by the concentric arrangement of the tubes it is impossible for the
products of condensation to enter the bowl and mix with the tobacco.
The disconnection for cleaning purposes is easily made by unscrewing the
reservoir liner and the tubes at the parts indicated by the drawings.
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 improved construction of tobacco pipe, in which the smoke is caused to
circulate to and fro in concentric tubes before reaching the mouthpiece, as herein-
before described and shown in the drawings.

I, DONALD BARNS MORISON of Hartlepool Engine Works, Hartlepool in the
County of Durham, 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 :--
My invention relates to the flanges for pipes and especially to those flanges which
are brazed or soldered to copper pipes and consists in providing the flanges with a
number of projections or brackets which surround the pipe and are in process of
manufacture made to bear firmly upon it, thus strengthening the pipe where it
enters the flange, and where it is in practice found liable to fracture.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I append two sheets of
explanatory drawings:
Figs. 1 to 4 show my improved flange applied to a copper pipe.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation through line AA; Fig. 2 a plan; Fig. 3 an
outside elevation and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation through line B B.
The flange C is provided with projections or brackets D which are made to bear
firmly against the pipe E, and by receiving any strains caused by vibration or
sudden shock, protect the pipe at the line of brazing and strengthen it at part
which in practice is a source of weakness.
Figs. 5 & 6 show another form of the strengthening brackets D.
Figs. 7 & 8 show a similar flange to that shown in Figs. 1 to 4 but having each
strengthening projection rivetted to the pipe.
It will be obvious that the design of the brackets or projections may be modified
to suit various sizes of pipes.
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 flange for attachment to pipes having projections or brackets formed on it
which bear on the pipe and so strengthen it where it enters the flange substantially
as described and illustrated.

Improvements in Boilers.
I, PHILIP LADDS of Bexley Heath in the County of Kent, Florist and Fruit
Grower, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a class of boiler designed by me and which has for
several years been largely sold by Messrs L. J. & C. Senger of Dartford, Kent.
In such boilers four sides of the firebox are composed of water tubes, whilst the
other two consist of hollow castings, the inner faces of which form tube plates to
receive the ends of the tubes. The tubes of the three upper sides are placed close
together, whilst those of the fourth or lower side are a slight distance apart and
form fire-bars.
According to this invention I make the fire-box deeper than is usual and supply
an additional tube (or tubes) which runs between the tube plates through the
middle of the fire. I also provide two doors instead of one, the upper one
being for the purpose of introducing fuel, whilst the lower one forms the fire door.

I WALTER SWIFT of 51 Olarendon Street, Spring Bank, Hull in the County of
York, Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct a screw propeller for steamships and
the like so that a greater speed can be attained with a much less consumption, and
therefore less cost of fuel.
I construct my screw propeller with five blades, of cast iron, steel, brass, or any
other suitable metal or material.
Hitherto screw propellers have been constructed with only three or four blades;
with my improved construction of propeller the speed of steamships and the like is
greatly accelerated, and therefore will go a greater distance with a much less
consumption, and therefore less cost of fuel.

Improvements in Mowing and Reaping Machines.
We, WILLIAM TOOTH, of Hamstall, Ridware, in the County of Stafford,
Blacksmith, ROBERT JOHN HARRIS and CLEMENT JOSEPH HARRIS, of Phoenix
Ironworks, Rugeley, in the County of Stafford, Implement Manufacturers, 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 certain improvements in mowing and reaping
machines by which the construction thereof is simplified, the number of working
parts reduced and increased lightness of draught is obtained.
In carrying out our invention we adopt the arrangements shown in the accom-
panying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is plan view of machine.
Fig. 2. side elevation.
Fig. 3. back elevation, rotated to show guide slot.
The same letters of reference denote the same parts in all the figures.
A. A. are the road wheels mounted on axis B. C, toothed driving wheel, by
means of which motion is given, through pinion D on shaft or axis E, to the grooved
cam F, upon said axis E.
G is the framework of the machine, carrying bearings, in which the shafts or
axles E and B rotate. I is a pin fixed through the connecting rod K, which is
connected by the pin K' to the knife bar of the machine.
The pin I takes into the groove H of the cam F at one end, and rests at its outer
end in a slot L (see Fig. 3) in the plate or bar M, which is fixed to the frame-
work G. When the machine is in motion, the revolution of the driving wheel C
gives motion through pinion D, to the cam F.
The helical formation of the groove H in said roller F, causes the pin or projec-
tion I to have a rectilinear movement to and fro in the slot L of bar or plate M,
which motion is transmitted to the connecting rod, and thence to the knife bar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
The improved method of operating the knife bar of mowing and reaping machines
substantially as described and shown.
