Improvements in and relating to Railway and other Tickets.
We CHARLES BAL, Gentleman of 61 Avenue de la Grande Armée Paris and
CHARLES DEVAUX of 39 Lombard Street in the City of London Merchant 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 railway tram car omnibus and steam boat tickets also to
tickets issued for admission to places of amusement and the like and consists in
making the ticket in the form of a small envelope so as to contain a sheet of
advertisements and a policy of assurance which could thus be incased in every
ticket and this would be specially applicable to railway tickets and the like and in
order that our said invention may be better understood we will now describe the
same with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 shews our
invention applied to a steamboat ticket, Fig. 2 shows our invention applied to a
return ticket which as will be seen is made in two compartments, Fig. 3 shews
ticket with advertisements or other printed matter in place.
The ticket as shewn in Figure 1 consists of two sheets of cardboard a and b
joined together on three sides and having portions c d removed from the unjoined
edges to allow of the advertisement, policy, or other printed matter being easily
withdrawn. Fig. 2 shews a return ticket made in two compartments or pockets
held together by the thin paper forming the outer side thereof and upon which the
destination is printed, or by other suitable means. Fig. 3 shews ticket with
policy or other matter f complete.
Tickets made as above would be very useful for checking omnibus and car fares
as every passenger would insist upon having one on account of its containing a policy
of assurance.
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
Making railway and other tickets with one or more compartments so as to
contain a policy of assurance or other desired paper or papers substantially as set

An Improved Cafétiere.
I NORMAN EDWARD BANNING of 9 Pisa Buildings Marlborough in the county of
Wiltshire, Mechanic, 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 consists in forming a Cafétiere so that the two halves when joined
together may be fully used to contain liquid coffee almost up to the brim of the top
vessel.
This I accomplish by means of grinding the two halves together at their junction
and so forming a water-tight joint. A wedge shaped fastening is used to lock the two
halves together and by means of which the two parts are tightened up to each other.
The lower vessel is fitted with a long spout reaching to the level of the top of
upper vessel.
In order that my improvements may be the more fully understood I will now proceed
to describe the figure on the drawing hereunto annexed, which is marked with letters
of reference.
This drawing shews my Improved Cafétiere in perspective.
A is the upper vessel and B is the lower vessel and C is the watertight junction
between the two vessels. D is the spout, and E is the wedge action fastening-
gripping the two vessels together another of which is placed exactly opposite to this
one.
As my Improvements are capable of various modifications without departing from
the principle thereof I do not restrict myself to material, dimensions, or to the precise
form or placement of the several parts thereof.
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. A Cafétiere formed in two portions which can be easily taken apart having the
joint formed by these two parts water-tight by means of grinding the two parts
together.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Champagne and like
Wines.
I, ANTON SECKBACH, of the firm of Seckbach and Company, of 11, Senckenberg
Strasse, Frankfort on the Main, in the German Empire, Wine Merchants, 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, that is to say :-
The object of my Invention is to manufacture champagne, and like wines, in such a
manner as to render the same harmless to persons suffering from diabetes mellitus, or
other kindred diseases.
The wine so manufactured possesses the characteristics as regards flavour, appearance,
sweetness, and general properties of corresponding wines heretofore known in the
market, but does not contain grape sugar, or any other sweetening ingredient having
a tendency to aggravate the disease above named, when consumed by sufferers there-
from. I thus produce what I may term a hygienic wine.
«
This improved wine is made in the usual way like all other sparkling wines but, for
the purpose of my Invention, I employ, in lieu of grape sugar, syrup, or. like
sweetening medium, a small quantity of alcohol wherein the substance known as
saccharin," and devised by Fahlberg, has been dissolved. Upon analysis there will
be found about 7 per mille of the acids of must (on the presence of which depends, to
a large extent, the formation of the peculiar ethereal wine flavours in fermentation) ;
12 per cent. by volume of alcohol; and of a gramme-quantity unweighable--of
"saccharin."
The solution of the "saccharin" is called "spirit" and acid does not enter into the
composition.
The sparkling is produced by natural fermentation exactly according to the old
French method.

page_text: Having now described my Invention and in what manner the same may be
performed, I claim :
The employment, in the manufacture of champagne and like wines, of a small
quantity of alcohol wherein "saccharin" has been dissolved, for the purpose of
sweetening the wine and rendering the same harmless to persons suffering from
diabetes mellitus or kindred diseases, substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, M.I.M.E.,
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 nut lock of that form which partakes of the function of
a jam nut and is designed to be applied to the threaded end of the bolt outside of the
usual nut, and to bear against the latter but which jam nut may in some instances take
the place of the nut already in use.
In the accompanying drawings ;-
Fig. 1 is face view of a lock nut constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same on the end of a bolt and
Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views of bolts and nuts with this lock nut applied
thereto.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
A is the nut whose inner periphery is threaded with a regular screw thread and
whose body portion is cut entirely through with a slit B, parallel to the axis of the
bolt C, and the portion D of the body thus cut is depressed or pushed out of the
norinal plane of the nut, so as to act as a stout spring which bears against the other
nut E when screwed up and prevents it from turning without the other nut E and
the tension of which spring D when the jam nut A is screwed up causes a strain to
exist between the two nuts A and E that prevents them from turning off together.
I am aware that washers which have no screw thread have been formed with slits
and deflected sections forming springs but these could not be used as jam nuts and I
lay no claim to any such structures.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to ho performed as communicated to mo
by my foreign correspondent, I. declare that what I claim is 3-
1. A nut lock or jam nut consisting of a body portion A having a regular screw
thread upon its inner periphery and a cut or slit such as B extending through the
body portion from face to face of the nut without bi-secting or penetrating the
interior thread and having the outer cut portion D deflected out of the plane of
the body portion to forin a spring substantially as described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
2. A nut lock or jam nut consisting of a body portion having a regular screw
thread upon its inner periphery and a cut or slit such as B extending entirely through
the body of the nut without bisecting or penetrating the serow thread and terminating
in the body of the nut and having the outer cut soction deflected out of the plane of
the body portion to form a spring substantially as and for the purpose described.

We, CARL KREISSIG and OTTOMAR SEIM both of Grüna in the kingdom of
Saxony, German Empire, 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:-
Our invention relates to a method of producing an increased light effect of gas,
paraffin and other flames without at the same time materially increasing ths
expenditure of flame producing matter (gas, paraffin etc.) and consist in causing
the flame to play upon a suitable shaped body of earthenware or the like, such body
by its becoming white-hot aiding combustion of the flame matter and otherwise
helping to intensify the brightness of the flame.
The manner in which we prefer to carry our invention into effect is shewn in the
accompanying drawings Figs. 1-4.
Fig. 1 shews our invention adapted to an ordinary Paraffin lamp with round
burner, and with the air entering in the usual way from the outside through grating g.
The parts a, b, c, d, e, f and h are also those of an ordinary well known lamp burner.
Part i is likewise a well known part of a lamp burner, namely a metal plate for
spreading the flame. On top of this plate we fix or place an earthenware etc. body k,
according to our invention, and we prefer to give it the conical shape shewn in the
drawing, and consider such the most suitable shape for all round burners, whether it
be a gas, paraffin or any other flame.
With some system of burners the air necessary for combustion is brought into the
flame through the flame-spreader i itself as shewn in Figs. 3 & 4. In such cases
we cannot apply our invention as shewn in Fig. 1 but must raise the cone k sufficient
for the air not to be interfered with as shewn (Figs. 3 & 4).
For burners producing a fish tail shaped (flat) flame like most ordinary gas
burners we arrange the earthenware body according to our invention in the manner
shown in Figs. 2 and 2b, its shape being prismatic.

page_text: We have explained above that we make the body, according to our invention, from
earthenware or the like by which we mean any earthy material such as for instance
porcelain, milk-glass, enamel, asbestos, pottery ware, stone or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
The method of producing an increased light effect of gas, paraffin and other
flames consisting essentially in allowing such flames to play upon a suitable shaped
body made of earthy material in the manner substantially as herein before described
and as shewn in the drawings filed herewith.

An Improvement in Speaking Tubes.
I, CHARLES THOMAS FLEETWOOD, of 28 Rich Terrace, South Kensington, in the
County of Middlesex, Telegraphic 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 speaking tubes such as are used for the purpose of
communicating from one place or apartment to another, and has for its chief
object to allow of persons using the tube without being subjected to the unpleasant
effects of the vitiated air moving in the tube.
For this purpose, I arrange between the mouth piece and the tube an appliance
such as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 is an elevation of the front part
shewn open.
Two sockets A and B are secured together enclosing and binding the circumference
of a thin metal diaphragm C. The one socket A is screwed to the tube D and the
other B is screwed to the mouth piece E.
An ordinary whistle F is permanently fixed behind the diaphragm in the socket A
and can be blown from the distant end. To allow of the distant whistle being
sounded by blowing into the mouthpiece E an aperture G is provided through the
socket B near the rim of the diaphragm C which aperture can be opened and the
end of the whistle F at the same time closed by depressing a key H during the
time of blowing.
By releasing the key H the aperture G is closed and that to the whistle Fis
opened ready for sounding from the distant end when required.
The diaphragm C prevents passage of air but allows the articulations directed from
one end of the tube to be heard at the other end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The introduction in an ordinary speaking tube of a diaphragm which prevents
passage of air but allows transmission of sound, substantially as described.

Bristol, manager of boot and shoe manufactory, and WILLIAM JOSEPH GALE of the
firm of Derham Brothers, Barton Street, Bristol, aforesaid, boot and shoe 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:-
The improved last for boots and shoes in which this invention consists is divided
into two parts. The feature of novelty consists in extending the division-to-the-sole¯¯
instead of, as heretofore, carrying it out at the upper part of the instep or at what is
technically termed the joint. The division, which commences at any convenient point
towards the back of the last, terminates at the front behind the toe, the block thus
furnishing a part of the sole. Our improved last possesses the advantage of being
When the block or upper
easy to withdraw from the boot or shoe made about it.
part has been withdrawn, which is freely effected by inserting the usual pin in the
hole at the back and pulling thereat, the under part is tilted by raising the heel,
and is then readily withdrawn. Consequently, the last does not become tightly
wedged in the boot or shoe.
On sheet 1 of the accompanying drawings is represented a side elevation of a last
divided in accordance with this invention.
The division, indicated by the line a, between the block or upper part a and the
lower part b, instead of as here-to-fore, extending only to the upper part of the
instep, or to the "joint," is carried out to the sole and terminates behind the toe.
Thus the block a contains a part of the sole, namely that part comprised between the
toe and the point at which the division cuts the sole.
The commencement at the back, of the division may be at the point shown or at
any other convenient point. The termination is, as stated, behind the toe. In with-
drawing the last from a boot or shoe made about it, the block a, which is connected
to the lower part by a tongue formed on the latter and taking into a groove
provided in the former, is removed in the customary manner by inserting a pin in the

page_text: channel e and exerting a backward pull. The block having been removed, the under
part bis then easily tilted by raising it at the heel and is then freely withdrawn. On
sheet 2 the block a and lower part are shown disconnected.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what 'we
claim is :-
The improved last for boots and shoes, in which the block or upper part is divided
from the lower part by a division extended forwards to and cutting the sole behind
the point of the toe, substantially as hereinbefore described.

This Invention which is illustrated in perspective elevation at Figure 1 and in
longitudinal section at Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings has for its object
improvements in paper files or clips and the improved apparatus consists of a sole or
base plate D to which an upper plate A is hinged at a. The plate A is pressed
upwards by means of a spiral or other spring C, against the part f of a bent metal
bar or rod B the said part fin conjunction with the plate A acting as the clip or
holder for the papers. The bar or rod B has its ends centred in lugs or brackets c
projecting upwards from the base-plate D and it has at e ogee or like bends, which in
conjunction with lugs b attached to the plate A and through which the rod passes
loosely act to cause the part f to open automatically on downward pressure by hand

plate which is under the part of the bar B.
When the downward pressure on the upper plate is released the plate is forced
upwards by the spring C and the lugs 6 acting on the bar B draw it inwards until
the part grips upon the papers. The part may be provided with spikes or pins to
pierce the papers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-

Billiard Cue Tops.
J, JACOB JARVIS ROBERTSON of Hampstead Glasnevin Dublin, Ireland, 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:
My invention relates to improvements in billiard cue tops, and has for its object
to remove the inconvenience experienced by players when the top comes off suddenly
whilst engaged in playing a game of billiards, which compels the said players to put
away the cue with which they may probably have been accustomed to play and the
loss of which may in some cases cause them to loose the game. According to my
invention no chalk or other similar substances is required to smear to cue tops in order
to prevent them from slipping off the ball and to cause them on the contrary to act
upon and hence push the saine.
The
In carrying my invention into practice I provide ferrules of brass or other
material and of various sizes or diameter to fit the usual sizes of billiard cues.
ferrules which are inch long or thereabout, are slightly tapered and closed at one
end. Upon this end is vulcanized or fixed a small piece of rubber or other
material. A selection of end tops of my improved form and of suitable sizes may be
kept ready at hand in or about the billiard table for instance, so that should the top
of a cue be out of order or worn out, the same can be replaced immediately by a fresh
one. And in order that my invention may be more fully understood, I have shewn
the same in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1. is section, and Fig. 2. a
front view, of my improved top applied to a billiard cue.
C. is the cue, over the upper part of which is placed the ferrule or cap c carrying at
the top a piece of india rubber or other material a, fixed to the top of the ferrule
or cap c.
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 :-
In cues for billiards, bagatelle and the like, the use of a ferrul for adjusting
thereon tips of rubber or other material substantially as and for the purpose
described.
