Improvements in or relating to Trawling Nets.
I GUSTAV MARTENS of 25 Kirchenstrasse Geestemünde in the Empire of
Germany Netmaker, 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 this invention is to overcome the difficulty in sea fishing in the use
of the ordinary trawling net that the latter captures smaller fish than it is intended
and required to do, owing to the drag of the water causing a stretching of the net
horizontally in the direction of movement which causes the meshes to become long
and narrow when the net is in action preventing fish from escaping which would
otherwise easily pass through the meshes. To obviate this inconvenience and at
the same time to render it more easy to handle and move the net in the water,
I have provided means for keeping the net distended in a vertical direction as
illustrated in the annexed drawing in which
Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating the improved net in use.
Fig. 2 shows the net in side view, and
Fig. 3 is the distender fitted to the net.
Near the rear end of the net A a suitable frame is inserted, here for instance a
semicircular frame B, which is so secured to the net that when in use it will stand
vertically or substantially so and form a door. The space surrounded by this
frame is spanned by a net C stretched on the frame the meshes of which net C are
sufficiently large to allow all fish smaller than the desired size to pass through. To
hold the frame B upright there is attached to a ring D thercon a suitable buoy or
float E the drag exerted by which holds the frame in the position shown in Figs. 1
and 2 so that all smaller fish entering at A' have opportunity of escape as
aforesaid.
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 I
claim is
The combination with the net A of a frame B arranged with regard to said net
as illustrated and described, said frame carrying a net C of desired size of mesh,
together with the buoy E the whole for the purpose set forth.

Alveolar Tampon for Use in connection with the Extraction of
Teeth, and Method of Using the same.
I, ERNST COHEN, Dental Surgeon, of No. 29/2 Maxillian-platz, Munich in the
Kingdom of Bavaria, Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature of my
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 consists of a tampon, for use in connection with the
extraction of teeth, said tampon having the property of reducing the pain in the
wound or cavity after a tooth has been extracted, and of assisting or accelerating
the healing of the wound without however causing an unpleasant smell or taste..
The present tampon is of particular advantage for the dentist, being supplied ready
for use, so that it is easily manipulated, and serving to stop the flow of blood and
to prevent infection and thus when extracting several teeth, keeping the
localities, subjected to the operation, clear and thus greatly facilitating the
operation.
The invention consists of a plug, of ferric chloride wadding and covered with
iodoform gauze.
And in order to make the present invention more easily intelligible reference is.
had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference denote similar
parts throughout the several views:
The plug is shown at a Figure 1 in full size, in Figure 2 enlarged, with the gauze
covering in position on the wadding in Figure 3 with the gauze covering removed.
and in Figure 4 with the said covering unwound.
Before being placed in the cavity the tampon is softened by being placed in hot
distilled water, containing 1% of carbolic acid, 1% of a sublimate solution or other
antiseptic. The plug is then inserted in the cavity and has the effect of stopping
the flow of blood on account of the mechanical pressure exercised on said plug and
of the ferric chloride contained in the wadding.
The wound being lined with iodoform gauze, will consequently be protected
against infection.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said.
invention and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An alveolar tampon for use in connection with the extraction of teeth, con-
sisting of a plug of ferric chloride wadding having a covering of iodoform gauze in.
the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
2. A process for stopping the bleeding and preventing infecting, when drawing:
teeth which consists in employing a plug of ferric chloride wadding having a covering.
of iodoform gauze, softening the same in hot distilled water containing a suitable-
antiseptic and inserting it into the cavity in the manner and for the purpose:
substantially as described and shown.

page_text: As already mentioned, previous furnaces were much larger. For this reason, it
was impossible to retain heat in the best manner, and to concentrate it with intensity
upon the object to be burnt. This want of concentration of the fire very frequently
was the cause of non-success, because, on this account, there was mostly too much,
or too little, fuel used. Also, the insertion opening, in the old form, led the
operator to withdraw and inspect the muffle more frequently than was absolutely
necessary, which, again, had an unfavourable influence upon the object to be burnt,
as this operation caused considerable changes of temperature. All this is obviated
by the present invention.
If it is desired to have a more concentrated heat, the part is reversed, and the
chamber A is made use of as a burning space; if the heat is to be less concentrated,
or to act more gently, the large chamber B of the centre part is used. This
enables one to prepare the furnace uniformly by using a certain quantity of fuel:
without in any way looking after the muffle, the fuel is quietly left to burn itself
out. When this is done, and the furnace and muffle have cooled, the product of
the burning is taken out, finished.
After very little practice, non-success in the burning is a matter of impossibility.
Both the furnace and the muffles are adapted for the purpose of concentrating
the heat to a great extent, and to let it act in a uniform manner. As approximately
as possible, the muttles are to be of the same shape as the object to be burnt, as
can be seen from Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Figs. 1. and 2. are intended for parts of,
and Figs. 3. and 4. for a whole set of teeth. On account of the upper portion
being closed, the admission of air is prevented until the product of the burning is
completely finished and cooled.
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 :-
1. A muftic furnace for dentists' purposes, constructed and operating substantially
as described, that is to say, an apparatus comprising a fire chamber and a muffle
carrying or burning chamber, constructed in three parts, the centre part having
spaces A, B. of different sizes and being reversible; and said spaces A. B. being
interchangeable, as heating space or burning space, as desired.
2. Muffles for muffle furnaces, constructed as and for the purposes described, that
is to say, of a form to suit the object to be burnt, and to exclude the air.
3. The muffle furnace and muffles herein described, having their parts combined
and adapted to operate, as set forth with reference to and shown in the drawings.

Improvements in Burners for Petroleum Stoves.
I, OSCAR EHRENFRIED WOLLERT, of 5 Banérgatan, Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden, 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 said invention has for its object an improved arrangement of burner for
petroleum-stoves or the like in which the combustible material consists of
petroleum or the like which is vapourized in a tube system by the heat from the
flame itself.
In order that my invention may be understood I have illustrated the same in the
accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a burner constructed according to the said
invention and
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
The improved burner comprises an horizontally arranged ring-shaped tube c
which is connected to the petroleum reservoir by means of a pipe or tube a and
from the said ring shaped tube projects a pipe or tube 6 having a branch pipe d
provided with a burner proper for the like. A ring g is cast in one piece with
the aforesaid ring-shaped tube c thus reducing the cost of manufacture of the
burner.
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 a burner for use with vapourized petroleum or the like in a tube-system and
consisting of vertical and horizontal communicating tube branches arranged round
a central opening, the arrangement in which a vertical pipe or tube a passes from
the petroleum-reservoir up to a tube c lying centrally and horizontally and made
in the form of a closed ring, the said ring-shaped tube being in communication with
another vertical tube passing downward to the burner opening f arranged.
centrally, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in or relating to the Ventilation of Boots
and Shoes.
I, EZRA CHAPPELL, of John Street, Rastrick, Brighouse, in the County of
York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
My invention has for its object to so ventilate boots and shoes that a thorough
circulation of air may take place therein.
For this purpose I perforate the living of boots and shoes with one or more
rows of holes of suitable size extending from the bottom eyelet or hook along
each side and round the back of the boot, these perforations being covered by
woven wire arranged between the boot or shoe lining and the upper.
Communicating with the air space formed by the introduction of this woven
wire are two eyelet holes in the back of the boot through which the foul air may
escape and fresh air enter.
The stiffening at the back of the boot is also preferably perforated and where
found desirable woven wire introduced between it and the upper.

A Method of Producing Cornices or Mouldings.

A Method of Producing Cornices or Mouldings.
We EHRENFRIED ALBERT BRINCKMANN, and HANS BODO ERWIN
WOLLHEIM DE FONSECA, Manufacturers, of Altona-Ottensen, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 simplified method of manufacturing cornices or
mouldings. According to this method the various ornamentations are pressed
directly into the prime coating of the base, which consists of a mixture of glue and
Spanish whiting, by means of engraved rollers, whilst heretofore the ornamenta-
tions have been specially modelled from a mixture of chalk, glue and turpentine,
pressed into the desired design and then glued upon the finished plain base.
This new method is characterised by two main operations, the first of which
consists in the coating of the base of laths or the like with a ground material of
glue and Spanish whiting, with the aid of a striking plate, whilst the pressing of
ornamentations into the coating when still soft by means of rollers which present
the said ornamentations either in relief or in intaglio, constitutes the second
operation. In this case the rollers either pass over the fixed laths, or the latter
are moved past fixed rollers, thereby producing the ornamentations upon the laths.
It is evident that the thickness of the coating depends on the greater or smaller
relief of the design to be produced by the rolling, and that an appropriately shaped
striking plate has to be used in the production of the coating.
As advantages of this new method may be mentioned cheap manufacture,
uniform appearance and intimate connection of the ornamental work with the
base.
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 :
1. A method of producing cornices or mouldings by which the decorations are
pressed directly into the ground or priming coat consisting of the usual well known
mixture, the said ground or coat being of a greater thickness at such parts than at
the plain parts.
2. A method of producing cornices or mouldings, substantially as described.

Improvements in Machinery for Cutting Caramels or other like
Confections.
JOSEPH ALLEN BAKER, WILLIAM KING BAKER, and GEORGE SAMUEL
BAKER of 58 City Road in the County of London and Willesden Junction in the
County of Middlesex, Engineers, 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 that class of caramel or like confection cutting machine,
where the substance to be operated upon passes through a bottom roll and a spindle
upon which are circular kuives, separated by means of collars, for cutting material
into strips at first operation, and at a second operation cutting into square, oblong
or diamond shaped pieces.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of our improved caramel
cutting machine.
Fig. 3 is a part side elevation showing cutter spindle in position for being
taken out.
The object of our invention is to facilitate the changing of the spindle upon which
the cutters work.
For this purpose, we make use of a sliding block (4), which is worked up and
down by means of hand wheel, bevel wheels and screws, or any other suitable
arrangement. In the sliding block is a recess in which the square block (2) is
placed. The spindle (1) works in this block and can thus be easily fitted in to
the sliding block and adjusted, or taken out for the purpose of changing the
spindle (1).
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,
In a caramel or other like substance cutting machine, the combination of sliding
block into which the spindle holding the cutters, is fixed by means of a loose block
fitted into a recess in the sliding block, and any suitable arrangement for adjusting
position of cutters, and moving said sliding block into such position that cutter
spindle can be removed, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Envelopes.
We JOHN JAMES GREGSON SLATER of 1031 Chester Road, Stretford in the
County of Lancaster Barrister-at-Law and FRANK ROBERT CRASTON of
1033 Chester Road Stretford in the county aforesaid Lithographer 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 a side or top front opening and fastening gumless flap
envelope (see Figs. 1 and 3 in which F means front and Q flap) constructed to seal
and fasten by simply affixing a stamp or stamps thereon commencing at the usual
right hand side corner thereof (see Figs. 2 and 4, on which one S, meaning stamp,.
has been placed. On larger envelopes, requiring more than one S, Q will not be
so deep as drawn on Figs. 2 and 4. By means of this flap, stamping and sealing
can be effected simultaneously, and the objectionable practice of damping or licking
a flap, in 1d. postage, is abolished.
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 :
1. A new front-fastening side or top-opening gumless envelope flap, so constructed
that by placing and affixing one or more stamps thereon, commencing at the right
hand corner thereof, stamp and flap-fastening are effected simultaneously.
2. An envelope paper-economising in construction the flap of which will prove
a great time-saver when fastening or sealing is requisite; and very simple and easy
to place inside the envelope when sealing is not required.

An Improvement in Oil Lamps.
We, JOHN THOMSON PAUL and JAMES PAUL, both of Grove Works,
Brandfield Street, Edinburgh, in the County of Midlothian, North Britain, Lamp
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:-
This invention relates to an improvement in oil lamps.
In carrying our invention into practice, reference being made to the accompanying
drawing which is an end view of a lamp showing our improvements, we fix to the
upper part B of the lamp A a spring C, and round the top part of the globe D we
provide a rim E of metal provided with projections or studs F on each side. When
the globe is pressed home the projections F engage with the spring C, and this
automatically locks the globe not only in its proper upright position, but also allows
the bottom of it to press hard against the plate G, which is an advantage existing
lamps lack.
Of course it is to be understood that we do not confine ourselves to the precise
arrangement as described and shown on the drawings by which the globe is
automatically locked in position, as this might be varied without deviating from
the essence of our invention, but what we do claim is :-
In oil lamps the arrangement for automatically locking the globe in position,
substantially as described and shown on the accompanying sheet of drawing..
