Improvements in Tyres for Velocipedes and other Carriages.
I, HOWARD DEVENISH PEARSALL of 16 Willow Road, Hampstead, London
Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The outer surface of pneumatic or cushion or solid rubber tyres is constructed
with a single rib thereon about half an inch wide more or less, projecting from the
rest of the surface along its middle line to a considerable extent say about one
quarter of an inch to three eighths of an inch, and in the preparation or vulcanising
of pneumatic cushion or solid rubber tyres, with any projecting part or rib this
projecting part or the outer portion of it may be vulcanised to a higher degree
than the rest of the tyre and so made harder than the rest of the tyre. Covers to
be cemented on to existing tyres may also be made in the same way.

following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in pneumatic, cushion or solid tyres for
velocipedes and other vehicles and the same is carried out as follows:-
Upon the bearing surface of the tyre which may be of any suitable construction,
I affix to or form integral with the tyre a strip of rubber having a bearing surface of
a harder nature than the part of the strip nearest to the body of the tyre. The strip
may be attached to or formed integral with the tyre as desired. The hardened
surface being produced by any well known process such as by increasing the
amount of sulphur so that the wearing surface of the strip is harder than its body
which is attached to or formed integral with the tyre & thus giving greater
protection against puncturing the tyre & at the same time providing a better or
harder wearing surface.
Referring to the annexed drawings:-
Figure 1 is a section showing my invention in position.
a is the strip of material having the hardened or toughened surface b. This strip
surrounds the tyre & may be formed integral with same or attached thereto as
desired by any well known means.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Treatment or Manufacture of Weldable Iron.
I, BENDIX MEYER, of No. 5 Garten Street, Gleiwitz, in the Empire of
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 a process for treating the lumps of weldable iron mixed
with slag, usually called loops which form the first raw product in the process for
producing weldable iron. Its object is to rid these so called loops of the slag
contained therein and to shape them into blocks suitable for rolling out into rails
and the like.
For this purpose in former times a press was used which had a given constant
stroke and nowadays steam-hammers are generally in use for the purpose.
The process hereinafter described consists in this that the said loops are not
forged in a steam hammer as heretofore but are compressed by an hydraulic press
with a variable stroke and are thus shaped into the desired form of oblong
blocks.
By this process the slag contained in the iron is squeezed out much more
thoroughly than by hammering because the slowness of the motion of the press
combined with the greater obtainable pressure is much more favorable for the
purpose than hammering. Thus a much better quality of iron is obtained since
next to no slag will remain in it. Besides the splashing about of the melted slag
which formed a serious danger in the performance of the older process is totally
avoided.
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 :-
A process for treating loops of weldable iron intermixed with slag which consists
in subjecting them to high pressure in an hydraulic press and thus shaping them
into the desired form or forms.

An Improved Process for Preparing Soluble Starch.
I, JULIUS KANTOROWICZ, of No. 14, Wassergasse, Breslau, in the Empire of
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:-
The present process relates to the production of prepared dry soluble or digested
starch from ordinary starch. This object is attained by separation of the digested
starch (rendered soluble in the well known manner) from the liquid in which it is
dissolved by means of sulphate of magnesia or by freezing and its purification,
drying and pulverising.
The practical carrying out of the invention can take place by way of example
in the following manner:-
Starch of any kind and origin is rendered soluble by treatment with alkalies in
the well known manner, the alkali is neutralised and the starch is precipitated
from the neutral solution by means of sulphate of magnesia or separated therefrom
by freezing. After the saline solution has been run off the precipitate is washed
with pure water until the salts are completely removed, the separated starch is
then dried and finally ground.
25 kilos. of digested starch are soluble in about 75 kilos. water. To this about
100 kilos. magnesium sulphate are added to precipitate the starch. The precipitate
is dried at 40° C. and ground. Or the starch solution may be treated by subjecting
it for about 10 hours to a temperature of 20° Celsius, when the starch separates
out and can be further treated as described.
-
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 above described process for the production of soluble starch consisting in
separating starch (rendered soluble in any desired manner) with sulphate of
magnesia or by means of freezing from its solution and preparing the same for use
by washing, drying and pulverising.

Improvements in Stringed Musical Instruments.
I, EDWARD NEWMAN WITHERS, of 22 and 22 Wardour Street, Soho, in the
County of Middlesex, Musical Instrument 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 :-
My invention has for object to more efficiently propagate the sounds in the body
of a violin, violincello or other stringed instrument that is played with a bow for
which purpose I construct such an instrument with a hollow sound post set in a
suitable position.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 shows in side elevation and Fig. 2 in vertical section a hollow sound post
according to my invention;
Fig. 3 shows the hollow sound post in cross section and
Fig. 4 is a vertical cross section of a violin with my improved sound post set
therein.
This sound post is in the form of a tube; the external diameter may be the same
or approximately the same as that of an ordinary solid sound post such as would be
usually employed in a like instrument. As will be seen the annular wall a is at the
ends widened out at a a¹. In carrying out my invention the hollow sound post
may be made by carefully drilling out the centre of a solid post of suitable
material, such as well seasoned pine, taking great care, when drilling out, not to
split the wood, and, after drilling, enlarging the bore at the respective ends with
any suitable instrument, it may be with a sharp knife, the extent to which the
ends are thus widened out depending on the tone desired, the softer the tone
required the more being taken out. The ends of the hollow sound post are
inclined to fit the back and belly of the instrument as in ordinary cases. Sometimes
I soak the hollow sound post in hard spirit varnish or soft oil varnish according
to requirement, spirit varnish being employed when a bright tone is desired.
Although I have mentioned well seasoned pine as being the material of which
the hollow sound post can be made it is to be understood that I do not limit myself
to that material.
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. In a stringed musical instrument such as a violin, violincello or other stringed
instrument played with a bow, a hollow sound post substantially as described for
the purpose specified.
2 The improved sound post as described and shown.

Rolling Mill for the Manufacture of Disc Wheels and similar
Articles.
1, HEINRICH MÜLLER of 56, Fabrikstrasse, Ruhrort, 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 rolling mill which forms the object of the present invention is for the
manufacture of disc wheels which may be employed as carriage wheels etc. and
other similar articles.
Figs. 1 and 2 on the accompanying drawing shew the rollers and Fig. 3 the
rolling mill in plan view.
In the frame U slides the pillow block J actuated by hydraulic cylinder K. On
the fore-part of this pillow block J rests with its bearing axle the roller G, the
lower part of which carries the cog-wheel E, engaging the cog-wheel D. The
head of the roller G is shaped according to the form, which the object to be rolled,
is to have. The roller F is stationary in the frame U and is rotated by means of the
cog-wheels C and B, the latter being fixed on the driving axle A. Between these
rollers the material to be rolled Q is introduced. A third roller N is mounted in
the fork M, actuated by the hydraulic cylinder L, pressing against the rim of the
object Q.
The lever O is connected with the coupling P, by which the conical wheel D is
put in or out of gear with the driving axle A. A fork T which rides on the axle
of the conical roller G carries the conical wheel D with it and holds it in its
position to the wheel E. According to necessity the article Q for rolling is
provided with a bushing R.
ROLLING PROCESS.
The roller G is put back and the article Q for rolling is placed on the pivot S.
The coupling P is put out of gear, the roller G pressed forward (Fig. 1) and the
driving axle A set in motion. The coupling P being out of gear, the roller Cis
rotated simply by friction on the material Q, whilst the roller F is driven by the
axle A. When the material has partly been rolled, the forward motion of the
roller G is stopped and the coupling P is thrown in gear, whereby the twin
wheels D and E are actuated. Now both rollers F and G are driven by the
axle A. Then the roller N is pressed forward against the rim of the disc wheel
(Fig. II) and the material protruding from the conical rollers is rolled again. This
operation is so often repeated until the material is rolled to the form desired.
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:
A rolling mill for the manufacture of disc wheels and similar articles, so arranged
that the disc wheel is rolled by the conical twin rollers F and G and the roller N
pressing against the rim, the roller G being supported by the sliding pillow
block Jas described.

I, ALFRED BREESE, of 75, Aldermanbury, in the County of London, Manu-
facturer, 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 an adjustable fastener for all kinds of straps, bands and
the like, but more particularly to the contrivance, usually a buckle, forming the
adjustable connection between the web or strap and the tabs of braces and other
garment suspenders, my object being to produce a suitable connection possessing
all the good qualities of a buckle, namely, ready adjustment, firm grip on the web,
and suitable frame from which to suspend the tabs, but which shall be automatic
in its action and possess no teeth or prongs which are found to be so destructive to
the webbing.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Figure 1 shews the parts of my invention detached; Figure 2 shews the said
parts fitted together complete, in front and side elevation respectively; and
Figure 3 shews my invention as applied to a brace end.
My invention consists of a slide formed of two similarly shaped flat plates of
metal A, each having a long horizontal slot B, through which to pass the web, and
a downwardly projecting ear C, having a thimbled hole, or it may be a hook, to
receive the upper end of the tab. The two plates are placed flatly together and
pivoted or loosely riveted at D, in such manner that normally their slots coincide,
and the general contour falls symmetrically on either side of an imaginary vertical
line drawn through the rivet Ď.
When in use, the straining of the strap or web enables the two arms of the slide
to turn on the rivet D, as a centre and approach one another at their lower ends
and in so doing causes the opening formed by the two slots to alter its shape from
a rectangle to that of a rhomboid the acute angles of which form a double
wedge-like grip upon the web or strap.
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 :-
An adjustable slide or fastener for braces, suspenders and other straps or bands
constructed substantially as herein set forth and shown.

A New or Improved Process of Treating Leather.
Year: 1896

page_text: Date of Application, 6th Aug., 1896-Accepted, 8th May, 1897
A New or Improved Process of Treating Leather.
I, RICHARD WIDEMANN, of 4 Frauenplatz Munich, in the Empire of 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 :-
For many purposes of the leather industry, particularly in the manufacture of
boots and shoes, it is of great value to possess a leather which presents hard and
soft places. Thus for instance the leggings heretofore used for riding boots have
always been provided with interior stiffening pieces of inferior material; and they
consequently possessed the disadvantage that they were worn through in a
comparatively short time.
By my present invention it is possible to produce a legging which is quite soft
and has a hard collar or sleeve without a lining or stiffening piece. The process in
question is carried into practice in the following manner:
The tanned skins when still wet are cleansed from dirt in order that any faults
may be noticed, then the leggings are cut out and the whole legging is slightly
greased. Now the upper part which serves for the formation of the collar or
sleeve is pressed between two plates by means of screws or clamps, in order
to prevent as much as possible the penetration of grease into the said upper part.
The lower part is now submitted to a soft-tanning process until it has assumed the
intended form. The upper stiff portion is then rolled a little until it has likewise
obtained the proper form. The entire legging is then dried and the blanching iron
passed over the same in the customary manner, in order to obtain an absolutely
uniform bright appearance on the flesh side. This may if desired be beautified by
paring and scraping. The leather is now ready for use, and it is expedieut to
apply a little leather-grease to the soft part.
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 process of treating leather substantially as and for the purpose herein set
forth.

Improvements in Pumping Apparatus for Chlorine Gas and the like
I, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane, London, Chartered Patent Agent do
hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to me from abroad by
Hans Cappelen and Diderik Cappelen both of Gjemsó Kloster, Skien, Norway
Manufacturers) and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Much trouble and difficulty has been experienced in keeping the apparatus
generally used for withdrawing the chlorine gas from an electrolytic decomposing
cell, in good running order on account of the corrosive action of the gas. The
apparatus hitherto used has generally been some kind of fan blower or bellows
arranged to draw the gas off from the cells and drive it into the absorbing chambers.
The rubber or the like generally used in such apparatus is also in a very short time
corroded by the gas, and so are also the parts of said apparatus which are constructed
of metals such as iron, steel, brass, or the like.
The communicators have therefore constructed a pump of materials that are not
easily corroded by chlorine gas.
In the drawing is shown for illustration a pump of the preferred construction.
The pump shown consists of a pump cylinder A which may be made of cast iron
covered internally with lead as indicated by the thick lines a. In this pump cylinder
works the plunger B made of wood, the same being provided with a stuffing box, and
gland C with a wooden washer c. The stuffing box has a lining D of wood; E is the
usual packing material. On each side of the pump cylinder are arranged the usual
valves, the casings F and G of which are made of lead while the valves H and I and
seats K and L are constructed of wood.
In this manner all working surfaces are constructed of materials that are not
corroded by the gas or the moisture following it, and a pump constructed in this
manner will run a very long time without needing any repair or extensive cleaning
process.
Having now particularly described 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 correspondents I declare that what I claim is:
1. In a pump for pumping chlorine and other corrosive gases the use of a wooden
pump plunger wooden valves, valve seats and stuffing box lining and leaden valve
casings.
2. The construction of pump described with reference to the drawing.

Improvements in Wheel Spokes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wheel Spokes.
I, GEORGE PRINTZ of 68 Rudolphstrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle in the Empire of
Germany, Needle 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 present invention relates to improvements in bicycles and other wheel
spokes in which, for the purpose of increasing the strength of the wheels, the
spokes, instead of being of the usual circular section, are made of equilateral
triangular section. This section is used throughout their whole length, except at
the ends, which may remain round. The improved wheel spokes in consequence of
their equilateral triangular section resist bending much better than round spokes
of the same sectional area, as they present opposite each surface an edge, whereby
any effects produced by lateral shocks in any direction always act against an edge,
which offers great resistance. In addition, spokes of triangular section have a
further advantage of being very little weakened by the unavoidable cutting of
screw-thread on one or both ends, as only three edges receive the screw-threads.
The ends of the spokes can also be bent, when required, at a right angle without
breaking.
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. In bicycle and other wheels the employment of spokes of an equilateral
triangular section substantially as and for the purpose described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pipe Joint, applicable for connecting Pipes and
Traps, Closets and Traps, and the like.
I, THOMAS CRAPPER, of the Firm of Thomas Crapper and Company, of Marlborough
Works, Marlborough Road, Chelsea, in the County of Mildlesex, Sanitary Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the saine is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of the present invention is to provide a fluid tight pipe joint so
constructed and arranged as to prevent the cement, lead or other material used for
making the joint fluid tight from forcing its way into the interior of the pipe and
thus presenting an obstruction to the free passage of liquid or other matter there-
through. The said joint may be advantageously employed for connecting together
rainwater, drain, soil and like pipes, pipes and traps, closets and traps, and the like,
whether of stoneware or metal.
I will now fully describe my invention and the manner of performing the same
having reference to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters refer to
corresponding parts in all the figures, and wherein :-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a pipe joint constructed in accordance with
this invention.
Figure 2 shews the joint disconnected.
Figure 3 is a part sectional elevation shewing a closet basin and trap connected
together according to my invention.
In Figs. 1 and 2 a and b represent respectively the ends of two lengths of pipe to
be connected together. Surrounding the exterior of the pipe near the end thereof
is provided or formed the annular channel c which receives the annular flange or
enlarged end d formed on the pipe a. The channel c is of sufficient depth and width
to leave space for the cement, lead or other material used for making the joint fluid
tight, between its sides and the entering Hange d. An important feature in the
construction of the annular channel e lies in the fact that the outer wall c1 thereof
is made of less height than the inner wall thereof formed by the end of the pipe b.
consequently when the joint is being made and the flange d is forced into the
channel c (previously filled with cement, lead or other suitable material), the cement,
lead or other material displaced by the said Bange will escape over the lower outer
wall I of the channel e and will not rise to the top of the higher inner wall of the
said channel and make its way into the pipe. In Figure 3 A represents a closet
basin and B a trap connected together by my improved joint above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claim is :-
A pipe joint constructed and arranged substantially as described and illustrated
and for the purpose set forth.

Improved Process of Making and Baking Rusks and such like.

Improved Process of Making and Baking Rusks and such like.
I, WILHELM KUTSCHKE, of Bautzen in the Empire of Germany, Baker 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 new process for producing rusks, biscuits and such
like by which a good taste is imparted also special durability by the composition of
the dough, and the manner of baking.
The composition of the dough is the following:
About 2-2 kg. best wheaten flour are mixed with four fresh eggs and 600 gr. fine
sugar to this mass are added about 65-80 gr. carbonic ammonia and 1 litre pure
good milk after this has been kneaded until it gets dry on the hands, 250 gr.
finest table butter is added and the dough after another good kneading is ready to
be baked.
The composition of it in weight parts is
22 parts flour.
0.6 31 eggs.

sugar.
milk.
butter.
Whilst in the usual process hitherto where porosity is produced by yeast the
dough must rise some time before the baking, it can if made according to this new
process be weighed at once and rolled over the whole plate which can then without
first rising the dough be moved into the oven. The latter must show a sufficient
heat and beginning to cool. For about 15 minutes the rusk is put into the oven
until it is baked; then it is taken out to be cooled. The article thus produced is
then cut into slices and baked slowly in an oven commencing to cool, such oven
being provided with open tubes and draughts, until it is done and shows a golden
yellow colour.
The rusk thus produced differs from those made according to the old process by
having a good full taste and longer keeping properties.
The first baking during 15 minutes at a moderate heat, effects a baking of the
rusk from the inside outwards and secures its complete baking throughout whereby
its easy digestibility is considerably augmented and greatest durability obtained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what ]
claim is :-
1. The process of manufacture and baking of a durable rusk composed of

page_text: The process by baking by which the dough, without previous rising is baked
in whole pieces in a moderately warm oven for 15 minutes, then cooled and finally
cut in slices and baked in an oven with a cooling temperature and having open tubes
and draughts.

Improved Means for Cooling or Refrigerating the Holds of Fishing
and other Vessels, Railway Cars, and the like. .
I, DAVID BURNESS WALKER, of Poynernook Road, Aberdeen, in the County
of Aberdeen, North Britain, Fishcurer, 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 improved means for cooling or refrigerating the holds
of fishing and other vessels, railway cars, and the like.
But in order that my said invention may be more readily understood and easily
carried into effect I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation.
Figure 2 a plan and
Figure 3 a cross section shewing my improvements applied to the hold of a
vessel.
Figure 4 is a sectional elevation and
Figure 5 a plan partly in section, shewing my improvements applied to a
railway car.
My invention consists, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, in
thoroughly insulating the bulkheads of the vessel and then by placing narrow
upright tanks A against the said bulkheads or walls, the said tanks A extending
from the bottom of the hold to the deck, to which they are connected by manholes B
for the purpose of filling and cleaning them.
A tank A may also be placed running fore aud aft in the middle of the ship's
hold as shewn in Figure 3 or it may be placed in any other position found
convenient.
In the case of railway cars, as shewn in Figures 4 and 5, a narrow upright tank A
is fitted on to the ends or other parts of the car which would be found most
suitable for the nature of the goods required to be carried. These tanks are also
connected to the top of the car by manholes B. The tanks may also, when there
is no side door, extend the full length of the car. A tank may also be secured to
the door should it be found desirable.
Into these tanks are put ice, salt or other refrigerating chemicals which will
bring the air down to and maintain a very low temperature.
The tanks are fitted with taps to draw off the water when the cold is all
extracted.
In the case of new vessels or cars the refrigerator may be built with them and
made fixtures.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
In means for cooling and refrigerating the holds of vessels, railway cars and the
like, the employment of the tanks A containing refrigerating chemicals, said tanks
being situated in any convenient position within the vessel or car and extending

page_text: from the bottom of the hold to deck in vessels and from the floor to roof in cars,
with manholes in the deck and roof for cleaning and charging, as described and
shewn in the accompanying drawings.
