Improvements in the Manufacture of Incombustible Burners for
Liquid and Gaseous Fuel.
I, CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL, of 10 Bärwaldstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of
Germany, 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 :-
For the manufacture of incombustible burners for liquid and gaseous fuel I
employ as the principal substance the compounds of calcium, aluminium, mag-
nesium, strontium, silicon and barium, such as carbonate or silicate of lime, fluoride
of calcium, chalk, clay, kaolin, talc, sand, quartz, pumice-stone, soap-stone,
carbonate and sulphate of strontium and the like; each substance separately or in
combination with one another.
To this principal substance or basis, I add compounds of the heavy metals, such
as oxide of zinc, oxide of lead, ceruse, peroxide of iron, oxide of manganese, oxide
of tin or the like.
This mixture is moistened with a solution of water-glass, alum, boric acid or the
like. It is then moulded and, if necessary, burned.
The addition of compounds of the heavy metals to the principal substance has for
its object to give the burners the necessary resistance and in order that the burner
shall not crack or change its shape during the burning or drying process.
To give these burners the necessary porosity for certain purposes, I add to
the mixture in a well known manner such bodies as are completely or partially
volatilized by heat.
For special purposes I make an addition of pulverised sulphur which is partially
volatilized by the heat and partially chemically combined with the substance.
The burners thus obtain a vitreous structure. This vitreous structure is
especially necessary for burners which are exposed to humidity when they are not
in use, as for instance in street lamps or for those intended for transmarine
exportation.
The porous bodies thus produced are very suitable as substitutes for the wicks
of petroleum lamps or heating apparatus and the like.
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 improvement in the manufacture of incombustible burners or bodies,
consisting in adding to the principal substance compounds of the heavy metals and
also sulphur or other suitable material completely or partially volatilized by heat
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improvement in the Construction of Spurs.
We, THOMAS GRIFFITH WITHERS, and SAMUEL WITHERS, trading as
J. Withers and Son, of Wisemore Street, Walsall, in the County of Stafford,
Spur and Harness Furniture 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 :-
Hitherto the knobs used for attaching the straps and buckles to spurs have been
made separate from the body of the spur and the shanks of the knobs inserted in
holes at the ends of the spur and rivetted over. This mode of securing the knobs
to spurs is very unsatisfactory as the shanks are very apt to become loose and
detached from the spur.
The object of this invention is to dispense with the use of knobs rivetted into
the spur.
Now according to this invention we form the knobs in one piece with the body
of the spur either by forging or stamping the spurs in suitable dies or by forging
the spur with projections at each end and cutting or otherwise forming the knobs
out of the solid metal.
If the spurs are formed in dies the bodies and knobs may be forged to the
proper shape and the whole polished on an emery wheel or otherwise finished.
If the spurs are made of nickel brass gun metal or other metal or alloy capable
of being cast we cast the spur (with the knobs attached) to the proper shape and
finish by polishing or plating.
:-the
By this invention we are enabled to make spurs in three pieces only viz.:-1
spur rowel and rowel pin.
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 :-
―
Constructing spurs with the body and knobs in one piece by forging or casting
substantially as herein specified.

Improvement in Gas-stoves.
I, WILHELM DRESSER, Manufacturer, of M. Gladbach, in the Kingdom of
Prussia, 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 has for its object, to utilize more completely the heat produced by
the combustion of gas, than is the case in ordinary reflector gas-stoves.
In the following description, reference will be made to the accompanying
drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a gas stove embodying my
invention, while Fig. 2 is a horizontal section along line A-B of Fig. 1.
The gas stove comprises an ordinary adjustable burner (not shown) placed in front
of a metallic reflector o, as usual. The air necessary for combustion enters through
a narrow canal a arranged under the reflector, in order to heat it before reaching
the burner.
The gaseous products of combustion which do not enter the room are conducted
through a series of flues z, z, arranged at the top of the stove, so as to form an up
and down zig-zag course, during which they impinge repeatedly against the highly
heated metallic roof of the combustion chamber. The flues z are arranged so as
to leave intermediate spaces & surrounded by the flues. These spaces or horizontal
air-chambers communicate with the air of the room at both ends, and contribute
essentially to the heating effect of the stove by heating the air in contact with the
walls of the said chambers.
The ends of the chambers k may be completely open, or they may be covered by
a grating. Any water that may be formed by condensation of the vapour in the
flues drops upon the plate b, where it is again evaporated, and led toward the
chimney flue C.
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 ;-
1. A reflector gas stove, comprising in its construction a series of flues z
arranged above the combustion space, so as to form an up and down zig-zag course,
and air heating chambers k, k, surrounded by the said flues z, substantially as

Improvements in Multiple Wedges used for Mining Purposes.
I, ALBERT FRANÇOIS, of Seraing, Belgium, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in multiple wedges used for mining
purposes, and has for object to increase the power and to simplify the construction
of such mining implements.
In carrying out my invention I adopt the arrangement and form of construction
herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings upon which
Figure 1 is a vertical section shewing an arrangement constructed according to
my invention having a single wedge.
Figure 2 being an end view of the same.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section of Fig. 1 through line 1-1.
Figure 4 is a vertical section shewing an arrangement having a supplementary
wedge.
Figure 5 being a horizontal section thereof through line 2—2.
Figure 6 shows the two wedges represented on Figure 4 after they have been
driven "home."
Figure 7 is a horizontal section of Figure 6 through line 3-3.
As will be seen on reference to Figure 1 the improved arrangement of wedges
consists of two cheeks A A¹ which are placed in the hole previously bored in the
rock, having the sides facing each other formed flat, and held in position by
flanges a, a.
Between the two cheeks A A¹ is inserted a wedge B with its thicker end
extending to the end or bottom of the hole, a flange b being provided on its outer
or thin end to prevent it from slipping forward. Then between the wedge B and
the inward or flat side of one of the cheeks A is driven a second wedge C, which
effects the separation of the two cheeks A A', by acting mainly in the direction
of the bottom or innermost point of the hole and thus breaks away the mass
of rock.
When the wedge C does not suffice to break up the mass, a supplementary
wedge D is driven in, as shown on Figure 4, in order to supplement the effect
produced by the preceding wedge as shewn on Figures 6 and 7, and so splitting
the rock.
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
1 claim is :-
An arrangement of wedges for mining purposes, characterised by the insertion

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cigar Boxes.
We, SOLOMON COHEN, PHINEAS COHEN, and LOUIS WEENEN, trading as
Cohen Weenen & Co., of 24 and 26 Hanbury Street, Spitalfields, London E.,
Cigar Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Our invention relates to the construction of cigar boxes, and the object of our
invention is to manufacture the same of materials which have not hitherto .been
used in their manufacture, and also to improve the form of such boxes.
According to our invention, instead of making cigar boxes of wood, as hitherto,
we make use of split bamboo, osier willow, date tree fibre, rattan, hickory, oak, ash,
palm leaf stalks, rushes, grass, or analogous material, capable of being neatly split
into narrow thin splines, and interlaced or woven together after the manner of
basket work. We line the box with milboard, cardboard, papier maché, or
analogous material; carrying up such material so as to form a fillett all round
which enters the lid and secures firmness to the box, when closed.
The lid is made with shallow sides to enclose the fillet of the box. The corners
of the box are preferably strengthened, by the addition thereto of strips of
ornamental fibrous material, and the lid is hinged to the box by means of any
suitable fibrous material or leather of any kind.
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 improvements in the manufacture of cigar boxes substantially as herein
before described.

WILLIAM MOCKETT 214 Albion Road Stoke Newington N. Silversmith do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This ventilation to be carried out by connecting up the main and other sewers by
means of tunnels or pipes to the furnaces or flews of destructors electric light works
breweries or other manufactories with suitable flews or shafts or chimneys so that a
circulation of fresh air may continually flow through the said sewers preventing the
said sewer gas from accumulating.
Also mills, water & gas works can be used if suitably situated.
WILLIAM MOCKETT 214 Albion Road Stoke Newington N. Silversmith 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 ventilation to be carried out by connecting up the main, or other sewers, by
means of tunnels, or pipes to the furnaces or flues of refuse destructors, electric
light generating stations, breweries, mills, pumping stations or manufactories with
suitable furnaces, flues and shafts; and at the shortest distance from the said sewer,
so that the great draught up the said shaft or shafts (the outer air being cut off) may
supply the necessary medium for carrying the sewer gas into the upper air whilst the
great heat and steam would have purified the same during its progress through the
shaft, thus keeping up a perfect circulation of fresh, air in the sewer continually.
This fresh air being sucked through vents left furthest removed from the furnace;
all the ordinary sewer vents in the roads having been closed.
This, as applied to large public buildings when a fire is kept for heating or other
purposes; the main sewer of the building should be perfectly trapped at the outlet ;
a large pipe of convenient size according to the work to be done; should then be taken
from the most convenient part of the sewer of the building to the furnace, or fireplace,
under or through to the flue, the outer air being cut off (except when the fire is being
trimmed) the air for feeding the fire must then come through the sewer pipe belonging
to the building the inlets for fresh air to the system of sewers being on the outside of
the said building.
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 Material for Wall-plastering, Priming, Casting, or the
like, and Process for Producing the same.
I, ADOLPH WILHELM. KEIM of Grünwald near Munich in the Empire of
Germany, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object a process for producing wall-plaster, priming,
or casting material, the main property of which consists in its capability of with-
standing the influences of the weather.
The process is as follows:-
:-
China clay, white chalk or calcspar free from iron, potassium, water glass
(30 degrees Beaumé) glass powder, and a small quantity of sulphuret of sodium are
ground, thoroughly mixed, formed into lumps and burnt, so that the total mass
contains approximately the following quantitative proportions of the effective
substances:-
8
per
China clay
White chalk or calcspar free from iron
Potassium water glass (30 degrees Beaumé)
Glass powder
Sulphuret of sodium
8.8 per cent.

After having been burnt, the product is again ground and mixed with about
cent. of carbonate of baryta. Quartz or marble sand is then added to this
'mixture in suitable proportions. The proportionate quartities of these are
determined according as a coarse or fine grain for the material is required, and
whether it is to be polished or not, as that made of marble alone is capable of
being polished.
The whole is then worked up with water, and either spread on a foundation
or cast.
The mass may be suitably coloured by adding small quantities of metallic salts
before the burning, or by the addition of metallic or mineral pigments..

Improvements in Pumps.

Improvements in Pumps.
I, ADAM GRAF of 146 Pfalz, Winnweiler, 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 lift pumps for pumping impure and thick liquids of
every description such as liquid manure, tar, mash etc.
The apparatus whilst being efficient is very simple in construction.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory drawing which shows the pump in vertical section.
Referring to the drawing:
The apparatus consists of a cylinder a in which works a piston b connected at its
underside by a link with a lever d. One end of this lever is coupled to a
connecting rod e and the other is pivotted by means of a bolt n within a valve f
The rod e and its connections are actuated by a lever h fulcrummed to the vertical
discharge pipe g or to a frame.
Vertical slots are cut or formed in the wall of the suction pipe i through which
the liquid required to be pumped can enter.
A spherical valve l is fitted at the lower end of the discharge pipe g.
The pump operates in the following manner :-
The piston 6, which is shown on the drawings as at the bottom of its stroke, is
raised by the lever and jointed link e, and, at the same time, the suction valve f
is closed tightly against its seat by the downward movement of the long arm of the
lever d. As the piston 6 is raised the liquid is forced through the valve into the
discharge pipe g and escapes therefrom at m.
When the piston reaches its highest point the valve closes, and, if the lever /
is now raised, the long arm of the lever d along with the valve f will be moved
upwards until the extreme end of the lever d strikes against the upper end of the
suction slot k as shown when the valve will be again fully opened. This upward
movement of the valve f and lever d clears the suction openings k so that the liquid
can freely pass in through them and around the valve f to the passage o and
cylinder a ready to be lifted at the next upstroke of the piston 6 when the same
action as before takes place.
The suction valves generally used for pumping impure thick liquids do not close
tightly at the upstroke of the piston or plunger.
The movements of the outer end of the lever d and of the bolt n prevent the
slots becoming clogged.
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 :-
Pumps with gear for the suction valve characterised by a lever (d) which serves
to operate the pump piston and which is so connected to the suction valve, that,
when the piston exerts a pressure, the suction valve is closed, and, when the piston
exhausts, the openings (k) in the suction pipe are cleared, substantially as herein-
before described and shown on the drawings annexed.

CUMI DELE DE CULTIVATIO
Improved Trough Latrine.
I, JOHN MERRILL Engineer of 30 Albany Road Sheffield in the County of
York 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 consists of improvements in trough latrines which may be flushed
either by automatic flush tanks or otherwise.
Certain parts of the trough latrines as ordinarily constructed foul with excreta
and urine and the flush does not reach and cleanse the whole of the fouled.
surfaces.
In order to overcome this I construct a trough in glazed fireclay or stoneware im
the shape of a triangle set on its apex and I carry the front part of this trough
forward in order that the back of seat can be brought well in front of and away
from the back of the trough. By so doing the danger of fouling the back of
trough with excreta is practically abolished and in consequence of the narrowed
bottom the flush when it takes place rises greatly higher for a given quantity of
water used than in the hitherto constructed troughs and if the tank has a proper
head all parts of the trough exposed to fouling are effectually scoured.
Fig. 1. shews a cross section of my invention and Fig. 2 a longitudinal
section.
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 formation of a trough so shaped as to reduce the danger of fouling with
excreta to a minimum and which will cause the flush to rise sufficiently high to
scour all parts liable to be fouled.

An Improved Pen Cleaner.
I, CARL ANTON KOELLNER of Neumühlen near Kiel Germany, 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:-
The pen cleaner of this invention is composed of fine wire card fixed in a stand
or holder with the wires projecting upward.
In the drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are sectional views of the pen cleaner.
a is the wire card of the kind that is used in carding machines, 6 the stand
or holder, e a metal plate screwed against the plain edges of the wire card (Fig. 1)
or against the plain under side of the wire card (Fig. 2) so as to fix it firmly in the
holder.
The pen in being cleaned is pressed down upon the wires or pins of the card or
brush and drawn horizontally to and fro. When this is being done the two members
will be sprung outwards away from one another, some of the wires being somewhat
bent down and cleaning the undersurface of the pen whilst others will pass into the
cleft between the two members and clean the pen at this part. Both the rounded
and the concave parts and the edges between and outside the two members may be
cleaned in this way.
d is a cushion of absorbent material which may be employed in conjunction with
the wire card and is more especially adapted for cleaning pens wet with ink the pen
being drawn horizontally to and fro over both the wire card and the cushion.
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:
:-
1. A pen cleaner consisting of fine wire card or of a wire brush fixed in a stand
or holder, substantially as described and shewn.
2. In a pen cleaner of the kind referred to a wire card in combination with an
absorbing cushion or pad, for the purpose specified substantially as described
and shewn.

HENRY HAWGOOD 94 Sheen Road Richmond, Surrey late of 13 Westbourne
Terrace Sutton Lane, Chiswick, London W. Furniture Salesman 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 blocks are made of wood or other material in size, the top surface of one
two or three squares and of any required thickness.
Each block is pierced with a hole perpendicularly passing entirely through the
centre of each square forming the top surface, viz., the one square top top surface
block "Fig. 14 one hole. The two square top surface block "Fig. 1B" two
holes. The three square top surface block "Fig. 1C" three holes. These holes
are to facilitate the building in of dowels or rods perpendicularly "Fig. 11" which
pass entirely through the wall (in one or more lengths) from the lower to the
uppermost course of blocks. The small (or one square) block "Fig. 1^" is used
for finished ends, the medium (or two square) "Fig. 1B" is used for ordinary
Fig. 11." The large (or three square) is used for cross and tie work

The advantages are, for toy & model building, the building at any point of con-
struction can be lifted bodily, when finished can be retained for examination or
exhibition, and can be taken to pieces quickly. And for summer houses and the
like (the blocks being made larger than those used for toy and modelwork) the
advantages are, no foundation or framework required, cheapuess, strength,
durability, celerity and simplicity in construction.

The Preparation of a New Product from Blood.

DI BUITIVATION.
The Preparation of a New Product from Blood.
I, OLAF FINSEN, of Thorshavn, Faröe Islands, Apothecary, 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 the production of a new product which may be
designated "hæmo-albumen" being a particular composition of hæmoglobin and
serum-albumen, which substances possess nutritious properties of great value and
may, by my invention, be used as food which has not hitherto been possible with
compositions of hæmoglobin or blood-albumen.
The new product is, moreover, susceptible of conservation for a long period
without liability of becoming deteriorated and it is, therefore, suitable as an article
of commerce.
It was mainly the disagreeable after-taste left by the compositions hitherto
produced which made it impossible to use them as food, this after-taste being
invariably followed by nause 1. The new composition of this invention is quite
free from any such after taste which result is attained by making use of citric acid
or of some other acid which does not vrevent the albumen from being coagulated
when used in a proper diluted condition and which will also not be injurious to
health.
For the production of "hæmo-albumen" I take the fresh blood of oxen (or of
some other animal) and defibrinate it by whipping. This blood being now freed
from fibrin is then to be mixed with six times its bulk of water, to which is added
a small quantity of citric acid (say five grammes per litre of blood). The mixture
is then to be heated to about 90 degrees C. and kept at this temperature for about
a quarter of an hour. The albumen which by this process will be converted into
coagulated albumen, must now be strained and theu very carefully washed with
water. The superfluous liquid having been then extracted, the remaining mass is
dried at a temperature of 45 degrees C. in carno. The brittle mass this produced
is still of a brown (chocolate-like) colour, but tasteless. Finally this mass is to be
pounded and ground to a very fine powder.
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 production of "hæmo-albumen" by mixing diluted defibrinated blood with
an acid (for example with citric acid) coagulating the albumen by heating it to
about 90 degrees C. and washing the albumen with water, then drying it by
extracting the water and heating the product in vacuo at 45 degrees C. and
lastly by pounding the brittle mass obtained and grinding it to a very fine
powder.
