Improvements relating to the Fixing of Rain-water and other Pipes.
I, CHARLES THOMERSON, of 263 and 265, Hackney Road, in the County of
London, Plumber, 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 fixing of rainwater and other pipes against walls
and the like and has for object to enable such pipes (having ears of ordinary_con-
struction) to be fixed in such a manner that a space is left between them and the
wall or the like.
According to my invention I provide solid or hollow blocks of metal or other
material designed to be interposed between the ears of the pipes and the wall
or the like, the said blocks being provided with circular or slotted holes for the
passage of the securing nails.
The blocks are advantageously provided with pins or projections designed to
enter the wall or the like whereby the said blocks can be supported in the required
position on the said wall or the like prior to the placing in position and fixing
of the pipes.
Referring to the annexed drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevation of one of the
blocks designed according to my invention for use in fixing a rain-water or other
pipe having ears of ordinary construction so as to leave a space between the pipe
and the wall or the like. Figure 2 is a section on the line xx Figure 1. Figure 3
is an elevation illustrating the use of the said blocks, and Figure 4 is a section
on the line y Figure 3.
a is the rainwater pipe, b b are the usual ears thereon, and c is the wall to
which the pipe is fixed by the nails d d. e e are the blocks which I place between
the ears bb and the wall c so as to leave a space between the pipe and the said
wall, the said blocks being provided with the holes f f for the passage of the
nails d d. g 9 are the pins or projections on the blocks ee by driving which
into the wall the said blocks can be supported in the required position prior to
the placing in position and fixing of the pipe.
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 The combination with a rainwater or other pipe having ears of ordinary
construction of perforated blocks interposed between the ears and the wall or the
like to which the pipe is fixed substantially as and for the purpose described.

Improved Apparatus for Mixing Gases, especially applicable to the
Distribution and Regulation of Mixtures of Ozone and Air.
I, MARIUS OTTO, of 18, Avenue de Neuilly, Neuilly-Sur-Seine, in the Republic
of France, Electrical 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:-
This invention relates to an apparatus enabling mixtures of gas, and particularly
mixtures of ozone and of air, to be effected in distinctly defined proportions in such
a manner as to obtain atmospheres having variable constituent quantities of
ozone.
The improved apparatus which is illustrated in the accompanying drawing con-
sists of a box of rectangular form supporting two conduits; "through one of which
pure air enters and through the other T2 of which enters ozonated air or ozonated
oxygen which has been previously titrated. The two conduits are respectively
provided with a supply-regulator R R2 constituted by a lever provided with
handles, which lever actuates an iris diaphragm, and with a meter C¹ C³.
Each of these meters is operated by a screw H¹ H forming an anemometer and '
giving the mean velocity of the gaseous current. The axis which carries this screw
gears with a toothed wheel so proportioned as to give the product of the mean
velocity of the gaseous current by the section of the pipe in which it circulates
this product is nothing more than the volume of the gas which flows through. It
is indicated upon dials C¹ C³.
Upon issuing from the meter C² the current of ozone passes into a float indicator,
which gives the mean supply per hour, and then spreads out under a dome or
bell M arranged within a large spherical chamber. The current of air enters at
the lower portion of this chamber through the pipe T', following the direction
indicated by the arrows.
The air and ozone mix and then escape in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The relative proportions of the two gases may readily be varied by acting upon the
supply regulators R¹ R2; it is thus easy to obtain at the outlet of the apparatus a
current of air of which the richness in ozone may vary from zero up to the maximum
value of the current entering through the pipe T.
Artificial ozonated atmospheres may thus be created which correspond with great
exactitude to the most varied requirements of therapeutics.
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 titrating mixing apparatus above described characterized by the employment

Improvements in Fireproof Roofs and Floors.
I, HORATIO KELSON BROMHEAD, Architect, Associate Royal Institute of British
Architects, 243, St. Vincent Street, Glasgow, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention consists of placing steel or iron joists of roofs or floors so near
each other and consequently of such a small size that the space between them
may be filled or made up with bricks or slabs or tubes of about the same height
as the joists, and so that the underside or ceiling may be plastered; and, where
the top is for a roof, it is covered with a layer of asphalte or cement or concrete
or waterproof material; and, where the top is a floor, it is also covered with any
kind of flooring.
In carrying out my invention I use joists of steel or iron placed near to each
other and of small section according to the strength required. Between the
joists I fill in with bricks or fireclay filling-in pieces of about the same depth
as the joists and having each end shaped to fit into the sides of the joists.
Having thus formed the main features of the floor, I plaster the ceiling or under-
side. For roofs I cover the top with asphalte or cement or waterproof material. For
floors 1 finish with any desired flooring material.
-
What I claim is the combination of some or all of the following parts;-
First. I place the joists so near each other and make their lengths so short
that they have a very small area of floor or roof to carry; and consequently the
depth and section of the joists are small and the space between the joists is
unusually small.
Second. I fill in the space between the joists in such a manner that both the
top and the bottom are roughly flush and even, and yet the floor or roof is of no
great depth or thickness or weight.
Third. I cover the floor or roof in a simple and economical
unite the whole into one solid mass of great strength.
Fourth. The roofs or floors are entirely fireproof.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Band or Strip for Fancy Embroidery.
I, SIMON HERRMANN, of 40, Senefelderstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Fancy Embroiderer, 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 an improved band or strip for fancy embroidery.
The improved band consists of a strip of silk, atlas or other suitable material provided
by means of a seamer on a sewing machine with a central seam for the purpose of
securing the turned over edges and rendering the band suitable for "braiding" or
embroidery.
It is thus possible to immediately stitch the band by means of a "braider'
on the
foundation or material according to the pattern previously drawn thereon, whilst
hitherto the bands or braid had to be first tacked by hand on the material according
to the pattern and then afterwards stitched with a sewing machine. By the use of
the band or strip hereinbefore described both time and labour are saved and it is
possible to sew the band on in much closer and smaller curves and sharper turns than
has been hitherto possible.
A sample of the prepared band and also of a piece of material embroidered with
such a band of atlas material by means of a "braider" or embroidering machine is
attached to this specification.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 shows a strip a of material with the edges b which are to be folded down
indicated by dotted lines;
Figure 2 shows a finished band a in which the folded down edges b are secured by
means of a central seam c; and
Figure 3 is a cross section of a finished band or strip.
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 band or strip for fancy embroidery having a central seam made on a sewing
machine to fasten down the edges which are folded over, substantially as hereinbefore
set forth.

manner the same is to be performed to be particularly de-cribed and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
A product is obtained, possessing the same properties as whale-bone and cheaper, by
impregnating the sinews virile organs and bones of animals, (also the bones of large
sized fish) freed of their phosphate of line, in a solution of metallic salts, preferably
chromic alum, or one of the organic compounds which possess tanning properties,
such as formaldehydes, tannin and the like, each alone or combined together, or in
combination with one or more of the metallic salts afore-mentioned
After the impregnation, the sinews are dried superficially, compressed to the thick-
ness desired and cut in strips.
With the virile organs, the ontside envelope is separated from the core, flattened
and cut in strips The outside envelope may also be separated from the core before
the impregnation.
The bones, after being rid of the marrow, are put into hydro-chloric acid diluted to
dissolve the calcareous matters (phosphate of lime), afterwards they are properly
washed and then dipped into the solution. When the cartilage of the bone 18
properly impregnated with the solution, it is dried, then compressed in heated presses,
and afterwards cut in strips.
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 new product to substitute whale-bone, and obtained by impregnating sinews, or
virile organs of animals, as well as bones, the said bones being previously rid of then
phosphate of lime, with a solution of metallic salts, preferably chromic alam, or with
one of the organic compounds which possess tanning properties, such as formal-
dehydes, tannin and the like, each alone or combined, or in combination with one or
more of the afore-mentioned metallic salts, the sinews, virile oigans and bone carti-
lage being dried, compressed to the thickness desired and cut in strips of suitable
width after the impregnation

Improvements in Vessels for Carrying Cargo in Bulk.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middle-
sex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what man-
ner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by CAREL COENRAD
VERMEER, Harbour-Master of Rotterdam, Holland, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In vessels for carrying cargo in bulk, as ordinarily constructed, the cargo, when
unloaded by means of elevators, does not gravitate into the path of the buckets,
thereby causing great inconvenience in the unloading. By the present invention
this object is effected substantially by forming the bottom of the hold of plates or
planks arranged in a sloping instead of in a substantially horizontal direction. In this
manner channels are formed, having tapering sides, the bottoms of which said channels
are transversely practically coincident in extent with the lower part of the path of the
buckets forming part of the elevator. Preferably these sloping plates form at the
same time the covers of the water-ballast tanks or compartments.
A mid-ship section of a vessel constructed according to this invention, is shown in
the annexed drawing.
To make use of a keelson such as is shown at a in the drawing, one longitudinal
tapering channel b c b, is arranged on each side of the keelson a. The elevators def
are arranged, according to the example shown in the drawing, in such a manner
that the axes of revolution of the polygonal pulleys f of the elevators de fare parallel
with the keelson a of the hull. In this case the bottom c of the channel b c b may
also be curved in conformity with the semi-cylindrical path of the buckets d. In
some cases also this axis of revolution is arranged thwart-ships and then the
breadth of the buckets is preferably equal to that of the flat bottom c of the taper-
ing channel b c b.
The degree of slope of the parts bb of the channel b c b will be varied with
reference to the kind of bulk cargo to be carried.
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 vessel for carrying cargo in bulk having the bottom of the hold formed with
tapering channels bcb to cause the bulk cargo to gravitate into the path of the
buckets d of the elevator d e f substantially as set forth with reference to the
accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Sanitary Pipe Traps.
I, ALBERT THOMAS CHORLEY, of 33, Shadwell Road, Bishopston, Bristol, Contractor,
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 sanitary pipe traps.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the sanitary pipe trap.
Fig. 2 is a view of the stopper or cover.
In carrying my invention into practice I mount on a suitable base or foot ha
syphon chamber g as in Fig. 1, with a tongue or triangular shape division in the
centre or thereabouts of the sanitary pipe trap. At one end of the trap I construct a
socket inlet c and at the other end I form the spigot end to fit in the socket of the
drain pipe herein termed the "outlet" d. Above the triangular shaped division i is
a recess e for the purpose of receiving the stopper f, also facing the said recess e is a
similar recess or chamber a in which I insert a stopper f, both of these stoppers are
cemented or sealed in the trap with any suitable material. At the top of the
sanitary pipe trap I construct a socket 6 for the purpose of connecting pipes to the
same for ventilation and the like.
This invention can be used either with an inspecting chamber or otherwise and thereby
has a double advantage over any other trap now in use, the recesses or chambers a
and e are for cleaning purposes the stoppers f being bedded in with suitable material.
The socket b is for a shaft if the trap is fixed without inspecting chamber, so that
pipes can be carried up to ground surface, but if fixed with inspecting chamber this
will be stopped with a stopper fas at a.
The aforesaid trap is constructed in various sizes of stoneware properly glazed and
baked, or metal, or of any other suitable substance.
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. In sanitary pipe traps, the combination of the recess or chamber a socket b
socket inlet c outlet d recess e stoppers f syphon chamber g base or foot h and tongue
or triangular shape division i, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
2. In sanitary pipe traps, the combination of the various parts substantially as
above described in this Specification for the purpose specified.

page_text: Date of Application, 26th Mar., 1898-Accepted, 9th July, 1898
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
Antiseptic Bread or Rusks to be used in the Manufacture of Sausages
and the like.
WALTER PRESTON, 12, Sydenham Street,. Holbeck, Leeds, Yorkshire, Manufac-
turing Chemist, 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 sausages, are a compound consisting of meat, bread, season-
ing and water. This mixture immediately they come in contact with each other
begins to ferment, and in a short time becomes sour and unfit for food.
This invention is designed to entirely dispense with bread or rusks which
contains yeast being used in the manufacture of sausages, yeast in the ordinary
bread being the principal cause of fermentation in sausages. And to replace
yeast with a harmless antiseptic salt in the proportion of one ounce of the antisep-
tic salt to each pound of flour and the usual quantity of water, used in the making
of bread, and baked in the usual way.
The antiseptic salt is composed of two parts boracic acid and one part borax,
the action of these two chemicals together causes a diliquesence, it is then dried
and all the waters of crystallization are driven off; it is then sifted and forms a
granulated antiseptic salt which is perfectly white when one ounce of cochineal is
added to one hundred weight of the antiseptic salt it gives a pink coloured
antiseptic salt, which when added to the flour, in the making of antiseptic bread
or rusks, in the proportion of one ounce, to every pound of flour, and the usual
quantity of water to make the dough, as in ordinary bread, produces a coloured
bread or rusks. When one pound of coloured bread or rusks are added to ten
pounds weight of sausages manufactured, the cochineal gives them an improved
appearance, and the antiseptic salt prevents them from going sour.
The antiseptic bread or rusks are baked like ordinary bread, it is then broken
up and dried, then ground by machinery into a granular form, similar to ground
rice.
The antiseptic bread or rusks are then ready for sale to the sausage manufac-
turer. Being in a granular form, and dry condition it mixes readily with the
meat, and water used in the manufacture of sausages and the like. If one
pound is added to each ten pounds of sausages manufactured it will keep them
perfectly sweet for a term of fourteen days thereby making a more wholesome
food, and preventing an every day waste.
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:-
Antiseptic bread or rusks to be used in the manufacture of sausages. and the

page_text: like, consisting of ground bread or rusks which has an antiseptic salt, baked
with them and coloured with cochineal, in the process, of manufacture, substan-
tially in the manner and for the purpose herein before described.

An Improved Animal Trap.
Year: 1898

page_text: Date of Application, 16th Dec., 1898-Accepted, 25th Feb., 1899
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Animal Trap.
I, CARL BENDER, I, of Dotzheim, near Wiesbaden, in the Province of Hesse-
Nassau, German Empire, Manufacturer, 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:-
The object of the present application is to provide an animal-trap in which the
animal by means of a bait is enticed on a plyer, which turns round when the
animal passes over the middle, thereby the animal getting dropped into a water
tank where it gets drowned.
The principle of my invention is to employ a plyer which renders impossible
the running or jumping aside of the animal in the moment where the plier turns
round.
My invention will be fully understood with reference to the annexed drawing
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the whole drawing, and
in which;
Figure 1 represents a vertical section of the trap.
Figure 2 a top view of same.
Figure 3 an elevational view of same.
a is a water tank as usually employed, the side-walls bb of which are covered
with sand or similar material to enable the animals to climb up to the plyers.
These plyers
are disposed on two sides opposite the one to the other. Between
these two sides of plyers a reservoir d with perforated walls is arranged for the
purpose of keeping the bait. The plyers e do not form a single surface but a
channel as will be seen from Figures 1 & 3, and pivot round the point e. If an
animal climbs up the wall b and tries to approach the bait it enters one of the
plyer-channels. As soon as it is advanced up to the turning point e, the plyer
will turn round and the animal gets dropped into the water tank without any
possibility to escape.
Hitherto the plyers of animal traps formed a single surface and very often in
the moment of the turning round of the plyer the animal escaped by jumping or
running aside. Owing to the channel form of my plyer any escape is rendered
impossible.
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. In an animal trap, the combination of a water-tank (a), with two lines of
channel-formed plyers (c) arranged opposite each other, and a reservoir (d) for

page_text: keeping the bait arranged between the two lines of plyers, substantially as
described.
2. In an animal trap, the combination with plyers (c) forming channels and
pivoting round axles (e), substantially as described.

My invention consists of a perforated board 6 mounted on the bottom d of a
box a suitable for advertising purposes, in which are cut twenty holes c or spaces
arranged to form four letter T's placed base to base. These holes or spaces c
receive twenty discs, cards, or counters, numbered from nought to nineteen, both
inclusive, and five of these discs, cards, or counters, are used to form each letter T.
When correctly arranged the total sum of the discs, cards, or counters in each of
the horizontal and vertical lines in the four letter T's must be the same, and
the four numbers forming the bases of the four letter T's must also count the
same total as any one horizontal or vertical line in the letter T's. Advertisements
to the board may be inserted in the spaces between the T. This improved
puzzle or game admits of many combinations.
If preferable one or more T's may be used.
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. In a figure puzzle or game, the combination of the box a perforated board b
holes c bottom of box d and discs or counters e, substantially as herein described
and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. An improved puzzle or game, in which the player arranges twenty numbered
discs, cards, or counters, numbering from nought to nineteen inclusive, in a
board or box cut out in twenty holes or spaces, arranged to form four letter T's.
The sum total of all of the discs in the vertical and horizontal lines in these
letters must be alike, and the four numbers at the base of the letters must total
the same amount as each line in each letter T.
