An Improved Stop for Sliding Pen and other Boxes.
I, EDWIN DYSON of the Firm of J. B. Dyson & Son Fancy Paper Box Makers of
New Bartholomew Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick do hereby declare
the nature of my said 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 an improved stop for sliding pen and other boxes by
which I prevent any clance of the sliding box being drawn sufficiently far out of the
caso to fall and spill the contents and this I effect in an extremely cheap simple and
substantial manner.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more casily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto a large sheet of drawings upon which I have shewn
my improved stop applied to an ordinary sliding box such as a pen box.
Figure 1 is a section through the box A when closed in the case B.
Figure 2 is a similar section to Figure 1 but shewing the box A open.
Figure 3 is an inverted plan of the bottom of the sliding box A.
Figure 4 is a broken off section of the box shewing the position of the stop while
the sliding box A is being inserted in the case B.
Figure 5 is a similar broken off section shewing the action of the stop when
attempting to draw the box A out clear of the case B.
In carrying my invention into effect I attach to the underside of the bottom a' of
the sliding box A the piece of card or other paper board e¹ which I bend over at the
end as seen at E and carry round the paper covering of the box which assists to
strengthen it at where the board e¹ is bent over. I also place the piece of card
board f inside the case upon the bottom of the case B and bend over the end of
same at F carrying the paper covering round at f to strengthen the board where
bent over. The sliding box A is then pressed into the case B as shewn at Figure 4
until it occupies the position shewn in Figures 1 and 2 respectively but on attempting
to withdraw the box again the bent ends E and Fiake the position shewn in Figure 5
from which it will be seen that it would be necessary to burst the case B before the box
could be totally withdrawn.
The bottom of the box a' and bottom of case 6' may be projected beyond the end of
the case or box and bent over to effect a similar purpose.
Of course I may bend the ends of metal boxes over or form metal strips to effect
the same purpose and I may form papiermache or metal strips for similarly pre-
venting wooden or other sliding boxes from being withdrawn too far out of thoir
cases.
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:-
1st. An improved stop for sliding pen and other boxes consisting of the locking
strips E&F bent over and formed substantially as and for the purpose herein set
forth and shewn upon the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoppers for Bottles.
I CHARLES DODSON, of No. 57 St. John's Street, West Smithfield in the County of
Middlesex, Licensed Victualler, 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 stoppers for bottles and has reference to
screw stoppers, the object being to dispense with the india-rubber ring usually placed
around the screw threaded shank of a stopper and underneath the head of the latter,
so as to serve as a bearing for the same, and for the top of the screw stopper, in
order to ensure a hermetical joint.
It is a well known fact that these india-rubber rings which are thus pressed into a
bottle, impart a disagreeable taste to the liquid contents thereof, with which they are
liable to come into contact, this substance being moreover open to the further
objection that it is unwholesome and containing sulphur, may generate sulphuretted
hydrogen, which is a bighly tonic gas.
According to my invention, I form a screw thread on the outer periphery of the
mouth of a bottle and I make use of a cap of any suitable material to close the
same. This cap is furnished with an inner plug of cork, which extends about half
the depth of the said cap.
The inner periphery of the remaining portion of the cap, i.e. that unoccupied by
the plug is tapped to be fixed to the screw threaded mouth of the bottle, the plug
bearing tightly upon the opening of the latter and thus effecting a hermetical
joint.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood, I have shewn the
same in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the
upper part of a bottle furnished with my improved stopper, Fig. 2 being an elevation
thereof, Fig. 3 is a section of the stopper before use while Fig. 4 is an underside
view thereof.
The mouth m of the bottle is furnished with a screw thread upon its outer periphery
upon which is screwed the cap c arranged as follows. The inside of this cap, which
is of ordinary construction, tapers slightly downwards, and is plugged a certain
distance at d with cork, fitted therein as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The cap
being thus prepared, is screwed upon the mouth m of the bottle, so that the substance
of the cork plug, is tightly pressed upon the mouth m of the bottle, thus forming a
hermetical joint.
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 improved screw cap or stopper arranged and combined substantially as and
for the purpose described.

I, ARTHUR NORTHCOTT, of Oakdene, Fulham, in the County of Middlesex
Surgeon, 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 clothes, shoe, and other brushes, and
has for its object the forming upon, or attachment to the back of said brushes, a
series of volutes, corrugations or scrapers, at any angle relatively to the length of
the brushes.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a brush with an attached corrugated scraper, arranged
diagonally,
Figure 2, the back of a brush with transverse scrapers, and
Figure 3 the back of a similar brush with longitudinal scrapers.
In carrying my invention into effect, I may form upon, as in Figures 2 and 3, a suit-
able number of corrugations, volutes or scrapers, or may attach a strip or backing of
india-rubber, or other suitable material with scrapers or the like formed thereon to
the back of a brush as shewn by Figure 1. Stiff hair or bristles may be inserted
between the scrapers to aid the process of removing mud or dirt.
In using a clothes or shoe brush it is usual to employ a scraper of some kind to
remove the rougher mud or dirt, before applying the brush. Said scraper may
tend to destroy the fabric, and in order to obviate this, I have attached to, or
formed upon, the back of such a brush a scraper, or series of scrapers arranged to
any depth angle or dimensions according to the requirements of adaptation.
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 attachment to, or forming upon the back of a brush a scraper or series of

page_text: scrapers substantially as and for the purposes herein described, with reference to
the drawings.

I, CHARLES HUELSER of the firm of Huelser & Co. of 142 Fleet Street in the
City of London, Solicitors of Patents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
a communication to me from abroad by Sophus Hartmann and Max Nathan both
of Berlin in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers, 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 balloons and has for its purpose to provide a simple and
efficacious device for the propulsion thereof.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in the figures of which like
letters indicate corresponding parts:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation.
Fig. 2 a front view, and
Fig. 3 a horizontal section of the improved arrangement for aërial navigation.
A cigar-shaped balloon A is rigidly lodged in a semi-circular saddle or vaulting e
of a frame B, outside of which are provided rolls or pulleys c. The latter serve as
guidings on each side for a frame C which is fitted with wings D having valve flaps d.
Said flaps are so placed as to remain closed when the frames C and wings D are
moved backward, whereby the frame B, and consequently also the balloon proper A,
is propelled, whereas on the wings D being moved forward, the flaps open and give
passage to the air.
The frames D, which may also be connected with each other below the frame B,
are drawn to and fro on the rollers or pulleys from the shaft d by means of cranks a
and guide bars b. It is obvious that with every backward movement of the frames C
and wings D, the balloon proper A is pushed forward for some distance jointly with
the frame B connected therewith.
Any suitable motor for actuating the shaft d may be placed on frame B and
also any of the known steering devices may be used for guiding the improved
balloon.
Having now particularly described and 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 :-
:-
A balloon, in which a frame B, and a balloon proper A rigidly lodged in a semi-
circular saddle or vaulting e thereof, are jointly propelled by means of wings D
provided with valve flaps d and supported by a frame C adapted to be moved
to and fro on rollers or pulleys c of frame B, substantially as illustrated and

An Improved Artist's Palette for Holding Pastels, Crayons,
and Chalks.
1, THOMAS EDWARDS Junior of 42 St. John's Road Tunbridge Wells Kent
Gentleman 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 my invention is to provide an artists palette for the use of those who
work with pastels, crayons, and chalks. I construct this palette with a number of
grooves each adapted for the holding or maintaining a pastel, crayon or chalk upon
the palette so that it may be immediately ready for the artist's use. I make the
aforementioned grooves of a sufficient length, and for choice semi-circular or semi-
elliptical in section for the holding of the crayon as desired.
In the annexed drawings I have shewn my grooves in two rows, and parallel to
each other, and running lengthwise of the palette. I do not however bind myself to
any particular direction of these grooves.
It will readily be understood that a number of colored crayons can be maintained
upon my improved palette, and that they will not slide off when the palette makes a
considerable angle with the horizon. This is a considerable advantage to the artist
who is thus enabled to hold upon his palette the number of colored chalks he requires,
and he has no fear that the same will be continually falling to the ground, when the
chalks are broken, and considerable expense entailed.
By means of my improved palette the chalks are much more readily picked up by
the fingers as each chalk rests in a separate groove. My palette is provided with a
hole for the thumb as in an ordinary artists palette.
In order that my invention may be more thoroughly understood, I will now proceed
to describe the perspective sketch accompanying this specification, which is marked
with letters of reference hereafter described.
The hole for the thumb is marked A and the grooves for holding the chalks are as
indicated by the letter B. In one groove I have shown a crayon resting, and this
crayon 1 have marked with letter C.
Although I intend to manufacture my improved palette in wood, I do not restrict
myself to any particular material, nor to the dimensions of my palette, or the precise
section of the grooves.
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) An artist's palette provided with a number of grooves substantially as herein-
before described in this specification and illustrated by accompanying drawing for the
purposes set forth in the title.

An Improved Electrolytic Solution for Galvanic Batteries,
Year: 1890

page_text: Date of Application, 8th Mar., 1890-Accepted, 26th Apr., 1890
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Electrolytic Solution for Galvanic Batteries,
I, LOUIS WEIGERT, of 99, Kurfürstenstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire,
Physician, 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 :-
It is well known that the inconstancy of a galvanic battery, wherein an exciting
fluid prepared from the chlorides of copper, mercury, iron, etc. is employed, arises
from the circumstance that products of a more or less insoluble character are formed
during the chemical decomposition which takes place. These products settle upon the
electrodes, and cause the electromotive force to rapidly fall off. The result is that
galvanic batteries wherein the usual exciting fluids are employed have not become
generally serviceable for electric lighting without the intervention of accumulators.
The exciting fluid hereinafter described avoids these disadvantages, inasmuch as it
considerably prolongs the constancy of the current. Further, a galvanic battery
wherein an exciting fluid prepared in accordance with my invention is employed
possesses the advantage of belonging to the "single fluid" class.
In order to obtain these advantages and to secure complete depolarisation and
constancy of current, I employ an exciting fluid consisting of a concentrated solution
of one or several chlorides (such as of copper, iron, zinc, etc.) in combination with
oxidising agents, such as hypochlorites. Moreover, the action of the oxidising agents
upon the chlorides (reduced to chlorine or some other form during the activity of the
battery) brings about a regeneration of the electrolytic solution.
By the above-described method of regeneration, the constancy of the battery is
longer maintained and deposit on the electrodes avoided. Furthermore, the employ-
ment of a single exciting fluid simplifies the use of the battery.
By reason of the greater constancy of the electric current yielded by a galvanic
battery excited as hereinbefore described, it is possible to work electric lamps directly
with steadiness and for comparatively long periods without employing accumulators.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
In a galvanic battery, the employment of an exciting fluid consisting of a
concentrated solution of one or several chlorides (such as of copper, iron, zinc, etc.) in
combination with oxidising agents, such as hypochlorites, substantially as herein
described.

page_text: Date of Application, 17th Mar., 1890-Accepted, 8th Nov., 1890
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
An Improved Process for Producing Ozonized Oils.
I, FRITZ PIEKENBROOK, of the firm of Dr. Graf & Co., of No. 23 Brandenburg
Strasse, in the City of Berlin, Germany, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of my
said 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 a process for producing ozone oil. When ozone gas
ozonized oxygen is led into pure oil, such for instance as olive oil, the gas is absorbed
to a large extent, the exact quantity being at present undetermined, whereas the
oxygen not converted into ozone escapes.
The process is considerably facilitated when the oxygen gas to be ozonized is freed
from the chlorine generated in the manufacture of the same from brownstone or
peroxide of manganese and chlorate of potassium, by washing with the hyposulphite
of soda. The ozonized oil produced in the foregoing manner possesses greater strength,
that is, contains a much larger percentage of ozone than the ozone water produced
according to the method set forth in Letters Patent No. 15526 of 1889.
It will be evident from the foregoing that I do not confine myself to ozonizing
olive oil alone but that any of the fat and dry oils can be ozonized by applying my
improved process. I use the oils thus produced, in medicine for cosmetical and
technical purposes.
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

Improvements in the Treatment of Skins and Hides for the
Preparation of Leather.
I HENRY BELCHER of Wantage, Berkshire, Currier do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is an improvement on the present long and cumbersome method
employed in cleansing hides and skins preparatory to subjecting them to the
tanning process, by removing animal matters & lime used in the process of
unhairing & which resists the action of the tanning process.
To accomplish the desired object I place the hides or skins in diluted sulphuric
acid and afterwards treat them in the way now practised.
By this method I effect a great saving of time and labour and consequently
expense. The strength of the acid will depend on the character of the skin or hide
to be treated.

mprovements in the Means or Apparatus for Shaping Nuts, Screw
and Bolt Heads, and other Articles.
I, KIBBY BANKS of 119 Beeston Hill, Leeds in the County of York, Bolt and
crew manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
nanner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
nd by the following statement:-
The object of my invention is to construct a machine for shaping nuts, screw and
olt heads and other articles, capable of doing double the work of an ordinary
machine, consequently a great saving in cost is effected, the machine at the same
ime requiring only one attendant.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevation and Fig. 2 an
end elevation.
My invention consists of two tool boxes A mounted at opposite ends of one sliding
headstock B, such headstock B being fitted so as to slide freely on a suitable bed
in a horizontal direction. In the tool boxes A are fixed the tools D for cutting or
shaping, these being of ordinary construction. Any number of tools can be applied
in the tool boxes A as may be required.
" "swivel holder" E¹
In front of each tool box A and on the bed E is provided a
constructed in accordance with my invention for which Letters Patent were granted
to me dated 9th February 1887 No. 2051, and operated as described in the
specification of such patent.
The headstock B carrying the tool boxes is actuated by a crank or face plate F
having an adjustable crank pin G working in a slide block H, fitted so as to work
freely in a slot J, provided in the sliding headstock B.
The crank or face plate being caused to revolve imparts the required reciprocating
motion to the headstock through the adjustable crank pin, such motion being obtained
from pulleys K and driving shaft L.
By the above arrangement the machine is capable of doing the work of tow
shapers, the movement of the headstock B being utilized in each direction of its
motion for cutting or shaping purposes.
The required traverse is given to the sliding frames or beds E on which the
"swivel holders " rest, by screws, operated by any suitable tappet or ratchet
arrangement from any convenient source.
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 :-
1st. The arrangement, construction and application of sliding headstock B, provided
with a tool box A at each end, for the purpose of receiving one or more tools, all
operating substantially as and for purposes herein set forth.
2nd. The arrangement of sliding headstock B and its tool boxes A and tools, in
combination with swivel holders E¹, all operating substantially as and for purposes
herein set forth.

Improvement in Cricket Stumps.
I, CHARLES FREDERICK STAHLECKER, of 8, Christopher Street, Finsbury
Square, in the County of London, Commission Agent, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention (a communication to me by Henry Munns, of Bairnsdale,
Victoria, Australia) 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 cricket-stumps, the object being to so construct them
that, when fixed to the ground, they will automatically return to their normal
position after being struck by a ball.
For this purpose I form part of the stump tubular and in the tube I place
a spring serving to connect the stump to a plate adapted to be fixed to the
ground.
-
The invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation; and,
Figure 2 is a plan of three cricket stumps embodying my improvements:
Figure 3 is a central transverse section of the same.
a is the solid part, and the tubular part of my stumps; c is the spring which I
place in the tube b of each stump, the upper end of the said spring being attached
at d to the stump and the lower end at e to the plate which is formed with
holes a, g, g to receive pins or pegs for fastening the plates to the ground. As
shewn in the drawing three stumps are attached to the plate so as to constitute,
(with the usual bails) a complete wicket.
By this construction if any one of the stumps be struck by a ball it will be forced
out of the perpendicular (as shewn by the dotted lines in Figure 3) sufficiently to
cause the bail to fall and will immediately be brought back into its original position
by the spring 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. The combination of hollow cricket stumps with a plate, to which the stumps
are connected by means of springs placed within the stumps, the said plate being
adapted to be fixed to the ground, substantially as, and for the purpose, set
Forth

An Improvement in Sack-filling Elevators for Grain.
I, CHARLES EDWARD MUMFORD, of St. Andrews Works, Bury St. Edmonds, in the
County of Suffolk, 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 a construction of a sack filling elevator for grain, in such
a manner that it is compact and conveniently portable and can be readily applied to a
winnowing or such like machine, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the elevator according to my invention and Fig. 2
is a perspective shewing it applied to a winnowing machine.
The frame of the elevator consists of two uprights A boarded across the back by
boards B.
To the upper parts of the uprights A are fixed the bearings for an upper pulley C
which is driven by a strap from the driving shaft of the winnowing machine. The
driving strain is resisted by struts D which extend and are hooked to the framing of
the winnowing machine.
The lower pulley E is mounted on a trough F which is pivotted to the frame A and
has arms by which it is hooked to the frame of the winnowing machine. An
endless belt G passes over the pulleys C and E and carries a number of elevating
buckets H which raise the grain from the trough F and as they pass over the upper
pulley C discharge it into a hopper K provided with a spout L to which may be hooked
the sack to be filled.
The elevator being hooked to the winnowing machine by the struts and ties D
and has its trough F filled, by an inclined shoot W, with the grain as it is dis-
charged from the winnowing machine, and it elevates the grain delivering it into
sacks from the outlet spout L.
For convenience of transport the trough F is folded up as closely as possible to
the framing and the struts D are folded down.
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 :-
A sack filling elevator for grain, substantially as herein described with reference to
the accompanying drawings.
