Improvements in and relating to Grease Traps.
I, SIDNEY JENNINGS of Palace Wharf, Stangate, London, S.E. Sanitary 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 improvements in and relating to sanitary grease traps, and
has for its object to effect a means whereby the pipe leading from the trap may be
readily swept out and cleansed without destroying the hydraulic seal.
In carrying out my invention I construct the trap of the shape shown, and in the
lower part of dip which is of sufficient depth to prevent the escape of grease and other
floating matters it is desirable to retain, I form an opening of sufficient size to admit
of the insertion of an ordinary cleansing apparatus. Over this opening I suspend, on
a pivot a cap or valve which can be removed or placed on one side when it is required
to cleanse or force the pipe leading from the trap. By this means I can use the
cleansing apparatus with greater facility than is at present the case and without
destroying or affecting the hydraulic seal of the trap and thus permitting the escape
of impure air.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the same
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1, is a sectional elevation of my improved trap.
Figure 2, a plan thereof and
Figure 3 a section on the line A. B. figure 2.
A is the case or exterior of the trap, B shewing the dip thereof. C is the dip valve
pivotted on the screw or bolt D. E is the semi circular opening at the lower end of
the dip. F is a. removable door or plate for the purpose of giving access to and
cleansing the trap also of opening or removing the valve C to allow of the use of the
cleansing apparatus, and G are butterfly nuts for securing the same in a closed
position.
Having thus 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 construction and arrangement of grease traps having in connection therewith a
movable dip valve for the purpose of facilitating the cleansing thereof substantially as
herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Appliance for use in connection with Darning or
Mending Stockings and similar Articles.
1, WILLIAM WILFRID WEBB of 27 Leadenhall Street London, E.C. 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 facilitate the darning or mending of stockings and
other like articles.
With this object I construct a darner or block, of wood, metal, vulcanite or other
suitable material of any size and shape required, but preferably in the form of an egg,
with a small portion of one of its sides cut away, forming a level surface of any
desired size.
The darner or block is preferably made hollow to contain the cotton, wool, needles,
or other small articles generally in use but may be formed solid if desired. When
made hollow, the opening can be in any part of the apparatus, but it will be found
most convenient if the darner is divided into two portions near the centre either
longitudinally or diagonally.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1. represents a side view, and
Fig. 2. an end view of the block or darner, the flat portion being shown on the
upper surface at A; and the division formed on the line B..
Fig. 3. represents the block or darner divided, to show the hollow internal
construction, when placed together the part C fits tightly into D, to the depth of the
flange E, forming a smooth joint as in Fig. 1.
If desired the two portions may be fastened together by any suitable form of hinge
and secured when closed by means of a snap, lock, or other suitable method. The
interior may be fitted or lined in any desired manner. When in use, my invention
is placed within the stocking or other article to be mended, bringing its flat surface
to the part requiring repair then drawing the material tightly over, the darning being
executed by the usual stitches.
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 construction and use of the block or darner for the purpose herein described,
set forth & illustrated.

I, HENRY REASON, of 115 Queen's Road, Brighton, Sussex, 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 playing a game similar to golf on a table or floor.
To enable the invention to be properly understood, I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table arranged for the game.
Figures 2 and 3 detached enlarged views of parts embodied in Figure 1.
Figure 4 enlarged view of playing club.
Over the top of the table is placed a smooth cloth A, preferably with a blanket
underneath around the edge of the table over the cloth is a cord B, attached at the
corners by wire hooks C, and steadied by metal chairs D. Upon the table cloth is
laid preferably four lead discs E, flat at the bottom but inclining upwards on the
top, such as is shown in section at Figure 2: in the middle of the disc is a hole into
which the balls are to be knocked, the aim of the players being to get the balls into
the holes by the fewest strokes with the club F. A cloth disc G, is laid upon the
cloth A, as a starting point for the players upon which the ball is placed for the
first stroke.
The game is played as follows:-Each player selects a club and a ball of corre-
sponding colour. If four play they form two sides, the number of holes to be
secured to complete the game is at the option of the players. Owing to the hole in
the disc E. being set at the top of an incline prevents the balls being easily knocked
into them.
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.

I, FREDERIC SCHWALD, of Lenzburg, Switzerland, Manufacturer's Agent, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to the manufacture of a new or improved building material
which may be termed "peat stone," consisting of disintegrated or comminuted peat
and plaster of paris. These materials in the proportions by weight of about 2 to
3 parts peat to 6 or 7 parts plaster of paris are thoroughly mingled in a dry condition,
and are then mixed with water to a pasty consistence. This paste is put into moulds
of the size and shape of the blocks or slabs required and, after setting, these are

or bars of wood are introduced into the body of the block or slab so as to give it
greater stiffness. In this case, in order that the slabs may have smooth surfaces it is
preferred to cover the bottoms of the moulds with a layer of plaster of paris, to place
on that the laths or bars, to cover them with the mixture of plaster and peat, and to
finish with a layer of plaster of paris. In making slabs, the proportion of plaster of
Blocks or
paris should be somewhat increased in order to give greater strength.
slabs manufactured as above described possess considerable resisting power again-t
compression and being comparatively light, can be used with advantage in building
walls or partitions which are carried on beams or girders, and the peat stone, being
a bad conductor of heat and sound, is useful in many positions where warmth and
quietness are desired. A small proportion of cement, sand, burnt ballast or other like
materials might be added to the mixture without seriously affecting the quality of the
product, but generally the admixture of plaster and peat only is to be preferred.
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
The manufacture of building blocks or slabs of plaster of paris and peat substantially
as herein described.

Improvements in or Applicable to Stoves or Boilers Heated by
Gas or Oil.
I, JAMES THOMAS Spencer, of 25 and 27, London Road, Reading, in the county of
Berks, Gas, Hot water and Sanitary 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 stoves or boilers heated by gas or oil.
Stoves or boilers of this kind are frequently arranged in such a manner that for a
person to see the heating flame for the purpose of regulating the same it is necessary
to stoop, and in many cases so low as to bring the head almost level with the
ground.
The object of my invention is to render such stooping unnecessary, and to this end
it consists in the arrangement of mirrors or reflectors upon the doors of boilers or
stoves, as hereinafter described.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which-
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a boiler having my improvements applied
thereto; and,
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
a represents a boiler enclosed in a jacket in the manner described in the specification
of former Letters Patent granted to me dated September 19 1889 No. 14807; b is
the outer casing; c is the door for affording access to the interior of the said casing;
and d is a mirror or reflector fixed to the said door, or carried in a frame e thereon,
as shown.
The door c is carried upon a horizontal joint fat its lower edge, so that it can be
turned town, as indicated, to enable a person looking down at the said mirror to see
the reflection of the bottom of the boiler and of the heating flames.
g is a catch for preventing the door moving so far down as to prevent the boiler
and heating flames from being reflected therein, but it is obvious that any other
desirable means may be employed for the purpose.
Although I have shown my invention as applied to a boiler of the kind described
in the specification of the Letters Patent before referred to, it is to be understood
that it is also applicable to other kinds of boilers and to stoves, whether heated by gas
or oil.
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 the door of a gas or oil heated stove or boiler, of a
mirror or reflector, substantially as, and for the purpose, described.
2. The manufacture and use of a gas or oil heated stove or boiler having a mirror
or reflector attached to its door, substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.

always placed next to the true surface of the iron or steel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I am aware that it has
already been proposed to use a compound consisting of asphalt and ground cork for
covering roads and other surfaces and I do not therefore claim such a compound
generally, but I claim :
A marine cement consisting of a combination of asphaltum ground cork and boiled
or other siccative oil, which latter has the effect of making the asphaltum elastic and
to reduce the tendency to melt.

Communicated from abroad by EDUARD BRUNE, Gentleman, of the City of
Brügge, in Westphalia, Germany.
I CHRISTEN REES BONNE of 41 Eastcheap London E.C., Patent Agent 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 improvement has for its object to do away with the inconvenience arising
from the use of ordinary cask taps, which are apt to cause leakage when the
tap hole has become worn, and is also often the seat of impurities, fungi and
the like.
The manner in which I carry my invention into effect is shewn in the accom-
panying drawing and consists of a short tube a of metal, vulcanite or other suitable
substance, which is permanently fixed in the cask, at a suitable place generally
near the bottom as in Fig. 4. The tube a is generally fixed in the cask by
means of a conical mother screw a', and may be closed or plugged in any
convenient manner, but preferably by means of a screw plug provided with
shoulder and screw thread which fits a corresponding screw thread in tube a,
and sometimes it is provided with a neck and guide plug h¹ for closing the
channel through a, for which purpose I more commonly use a plug or cork c
(Fig. 2).
When it is required to draw liquor from a cask thus fitted and plugged, the plug b
(Fig. 2) is unscrewed, a tap (Fig. 4) is inserted and the cork c pushed into the cask,
in the usual way, but when the liquor shall be withdrawn under pressure of air,
carbonic acid or other gas I employ a tube d, (Fig. 3) which is screwed into the
tube a, and which is provided with an opening e, through which such compressed air
or other gas is injected into the cask. A tube g is inserted into the latter, tightened
by means of stuffing box gl, but leaving sufficient play relatively to the internal
walls of d, for a passage through which the gas coming in at e enters the casks.
A tap is affixed to tube g, and the complete contrivance attached to a cask is
shewn in Fig. 4.
In Fig. 3 is shewn a modification in which the gas enters through e² behind the
plug, such channels & being made through the boss a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
-
The combined apparatus for drawing off casks and the like, consisting essentially in
a boss a secured permanently in the cask in combination with a tube e-d (Fig. 3)
or e (Fig. 3) for the injection of gas under pressure, and a tube g for withdrawing
the liquor, substantially in the manner as and for the purpose described.

Fig. 3 a top view, and
Fig. 4 a horizontal section along line C D Fig. 1, of the improved coupling.
On the wrought iron frame a are secured angle pieces which support a shaft d,
lodged in pillows c and provided with screw thread e on a portion of its length and
at each extremity with a hand wheel f. The screw-threaded portion of shaft carries
a crossbar g having secured thereto about the middle a bolt h while its bottom end
is adapted to move freely in slot i of bolt k, which bears upon the horizontal plate
between guidings m m. The angle pieces are provided with corresponding
apertures to allow the bolts to be displaced in either direction.
A device n consisting of two sides and an inclined bottom serves to guide, when
coupling two vehicles, the coupling hook q behind the part o of bolt k, the said part
having for this purpose a slope lying in the plane of the inclined bottom of the.
device n.
The coupling hooks employed in the improved side coupling consist of
the stationary part p and the movable part 9 connected hinge-fashion therewith, and
provided with a nozzle r, which when the coupling hook is disengaged abuts from
below against the stationary part p, thereby preventing an entire descent of
hook 9:
The improved coupling device is operated as follows:-
―
The crossbar is moved from right to left by correspondingly turning one of the
hand wheels f, Fig. 1; thereby the bolt h is moved back and the space lying above
the sloping part o of bolt k opened for the passage of the coupling hook. When the
vehicles to be coupled are pushed together, the hooks q slide up the inclined surface
of guidings n and over the sloping portion o of holt of each of the two couplings.
Subsequently the hook is secured in its position by turning the respective shaft d
i.e. its handwheel in the opposite direction, thereby causing the bolt h to be once more
advanced and thereby prevent any upward movement of the hook.
To uncouple the hook the crossbar g is moved into its extreme left position, Fig. 1,
whereby the bolt is pushed back by the free extremity g₁ of the crossbar 9 and
the hook unlocked as soon as said extremity has reached the respective end of slot i
Fig. 4.
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 1
claim is :-
A side coupling for railway vehicles consisting of the shaft d provided with a partial
screw thread and lodged in the frame a, the crossbar g displaceable on said shaft and
carrying rigidly connected thereto a bolt h, a loose bolt adapted to be moved by the
extension g of the crossbar and having a slot i and slope o, a device n with inclined

page_text: bottom, and a coupling hook consisting of parts p and g, which latter part is fitted
with nozzler to prevent its entire descent when uncoupled, the whole combined and
operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Bobbins.
I, ANDERS NICOLAUS MAURITZ OHLSSON of 2. Seminariegatan Gothenburg
Sweden, 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 :-
Bobbins constructed according to this invention are lighter and require less wood
in their manufacture than ordinary bobbins. The invention consists in making the
central part or body of the bobbin of veneer rolled into a hollow cylinder the ends of
which are fixed in discs forming the bobbin flanges.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a longitudinal section Figure 2 an
end view and Figure 3 a side view of a bobbin constructed according to my
invention.
A is a hollow cylinder made of curled up veneer.
At each end of this cylinder is
a round disc or flange B of wood provided with an annular groove for the veneer
cylinder to enter and be fixed therein by means of glue or other suitable binding
material. These flanges may be of even thickness or tapered towards the edge as
shown. The veneer of the cylinder A may be coiled one or more times. In order
to strengthen the cylinder A an inner hollow cylinder C also made of veneer may be
glued into it but need not be the whole length of the cylinder A. Or the latter may
be strengthened by fixing therein one or more easily fitting perforated discs. One
such disc in the middle is however generally sufficient.
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. Constructing bobbins of a central hollow cylinder made of veneer fixed in end
discs or flanges substantially as set forth.
2. Bobbins consisting of a central hollow cylinder made of veneer fixed in grooves
in end discs or flanges and strengthened by an inner hollow cylinder made of veneer
or one or more wood discs, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bread.
I, JEAN HENRI BESNARD, Engineer, of 8, Rue Miromesuil, Paris, in the Republic
of France, 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 the manufacture under pressure of a wholesome,
nourishing, tasty and substantial bread, for use in armies, navies, mercantile fleets,
exploration and tours, which can be kept in store in a preserved state for a length of
time and which takes up little space and serves the same purpose as ordinary bread.
To this end I take good leaven of wheat or barley flour, which I add to dough of
half hard flour suitably salted ;.or I may use, if necessary, Russian rye flour with
leaven of barley or other grain used in the manufacture of bread.
After the mixture of dough has risen somewhat I divide the same into lumps and
place them in perforated moulds where they rise further when the moulds are closed,
put into an oven heated sufficiently to give a temperature of at least 110 degrees
Centigrade in the bread. The dough in the moulds (which may be of any size and
shape) will then pass through a last fermentation very rapidly and thus bake under
pressure. It is then taken out of the oven and left to cool in the moulds. After-
wards the mould and the bread are put in an oven to be dried and freed from the
accumulated water.
The dough may or may not be mixed with dextrine, or white rye flour or other
similar binding substance without prejudice to my process of baking under automatic
pressure.
Any nourishing or otherwise beneficial substance or liquid may be added to the
dough at will, such as meat or vegetables, or natural or artificial mineral water,
salt or medical product as may be required for various purposes.
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-
In the manufacture of bread, the process of baking under pressure in perforated
and closed moulds, so as to obtain a thorough natural and automatic compression of
the dough, a bread which is more consistant, less brittle and more preservable than
the ordinary bread or analogous products, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Calkins for Horse-shoes.
I, FERDINAND OF EULENFELD, of Victoria-strasse, 6, Breslau, in the Kingdom of
Prussia, and German Empire, Riding Master, 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 safety calkin for horse-shoes, which completely prevents
horses from injuring their sinews and hoofs, often causing crippled legs, called hoof-
cleft, which is hitherto so frequently produced by treading, knocking or kicking with
the metal part of the calkin.
According to this invention the purpose indicated above is attained by means of a
ring of elastic or pliant material, surrounding the sides of the metal part of the
calkin, the pointed end of which projects below.
The annexed drawing represents the safety calkin made according to this invention,
namely, Figure 1 is a side view of the iron calkin with a section of the safety ring,
and Figure 2 is a top view of the calkin.
It will be seen from the drawing that the iron part a of the calkin, which is pointed
below, is surrounded by a ring of india-rubber or any other elastic material, which
with its top surface abuts against the square shoulder c of the calkin and admits the
pointed end a¹ of the iron part a to project below. Near the square part c which
admits the application of the calkin-wrench for screwing down the calkin, the iron
part a of the calkin is made narrower, so as to give the india-rubber ring b a more
secure hold.
с
The shoulder c is provided at its top with a screw-threaded bolt d, which is screwed
into the horse-shoe for fastening the calkin.
It will be seen, the safety ring b surrounding the calkin part a prevents any injury
being done to the hoofs or sinews of horses.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A safety calkin for horse-shoes, in which the metal part a of the calkin is
surrounded by a ring of elastic or pliant material, substantially as shewn and
described.
2. In a safety calkin having the construction specified in the foregoing claim, the
rrangement of a shoulder c upon the metal portion a of the calkin, serving as a
support for the elastic ring b and at the same time for the application of the calkin-
vrench.

Improvements in the Construction of Overmantels.
I, CHARLES ALBERT FRANKLIN, of 6 New Rupert Street, in the city and county
of Bristol, Overmantel 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 the construction of mirrors known as overmantels and
consists in constructing as separate pieces the various wooden frames, members and
other parts of which such articles of furniture are composed, and thereafter connecting
such separate pieces together to form a complete structure, according to the nature of
the design thereof.
The connection of the various parts is effected principally by means of screws.
Consequently, overmantels constructed in accordance with this invention are easily
put together or, taken apart. The method of construction admits also of variation in
design in any one overmantel, as the position of the shelves and other parts in the
same overmantel may be changed, whereas in overmantels as hitherto constructed the
parts are permanently secured together and cannot be separated without damage to
the structure.
A further advantage appertaining to this invention lies in the facility and con-
venience afforded thereby in packing overmantels for transit, as the various parts
separated are capable of being stowed safely away in smaller bulk than a fully built up
overmantel.
Moreover, the various parts of which overmantels are composed may be made in
quantities for stocking.
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 construction of overmantels by making as separate and separable pieces the
various frames and other members or parts of which such articles of furniture are
composed, and connecting the said parts together, preferably by means of screws, to
constitute complete overmantels, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Production of Novel Colouring Matters for Wool Dyeing and
Printing.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of London, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, 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 :-
In the application for Letters Patent No. 4577 dated 24th March 1890 is set
forth, that hydrochlorate of nitrosodimethylaniline or diethylaniline can be con-
densed with betanaphthol sulphonic acid in a similar manner as with betanaphthol
and that the acids forming coloring matters thus obtained have valuable properties
for wool dyeing and printing.
According to the present invention, if the bases enumerated hereinafter are
caused to act upon these sulphonic acids in alkaline or acid solution, there are
obtained a further series of valuable coloring matters, having a large number of
different shades in accordance to the bases employed.
EXAMPLE I.
I molecule of dimethylsulphonic acid, obtained by condensing hydrochlorate of
nitrosodimethylaniline with the beta naphtholmonosulphonic acid of Schäffer, is
heated for several hours with 1 molecule of aniline in presence of some soda lye
and water. The melt thus obtained is treated with diluted hydrochloric acid,
filtered, and the residue dissolved under addition of the necessary quantity of soda
in boiling water, filtered, and the filtrate precipitated by means of common salt.
By these means is obtained the sodium salt of a novel sulphonic acid, whose
coloring properties and chemical qualities are largely different from those of the
dimethylsulphonic acid employed.
EXAMPLE II.
1 molecule of the dimethylsulphonic acid described above and 1 molecule of
sulphanilic acid are treated as set forth in the first example. The melt is dissolved
in water and the sodium salt of the novel sulphonic acid is precipitated by means of
common salt.

page_text: para-amidodiphenylamine sulphonic acid.
In using either of these it is not necessary to make any important changes in the
process, either as to temperatures or proportions of the ingredients.
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. The production of novel coloring matters for wool dyeing and printing by the
action of primary amines, or other amines containing an atom group NH2, and their
sulphonic acids and nitro derivatives in alkaline or slightly acetic solution upon the
condensation product of hydrochlorate of nitrosodimethylaniline or nitroso diethyl-
aniline with the beta naphthol monosulphonic acid of Schäffer.
2. The novel coloring matters produced in manner referred to in the preceding
claim.
