An Improved Medicine for the Prevention of Contagious Abortion
in Cattle.
I, THOMAS DANIEL CURTIS, of Winslow, in the County of Bucks, Farmer, 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 what is known as contagious abortion in cattle, which
is caused by the action of an insect which lodges in the stomach and intestines of
cattle, for several months of the year, brought there by the cattle taking the eggs
of the insects with their food, and also by licking themselves, in the same
manner that the horse becomes the receptacle for hatching the bott fly. The
insect which does the mischief among cattle is the midge or gnat fly; and the
object of my invention is to destroy these insects before they have had time to
poison the fætus.
According to my invention I combine certain materials in the form of a powder,
which is administered to the animal medicinally, consisting of the following in-
gredients and (preferably) in the following proportions, which together make one
powder or dose; viz:-
Wheaten meal
Fenugreek
East Indian geranium oil
Carbolic acid
This powder is given to each cow once in
adding some oil cake dust or Thorley's food.

I, MAX FRANK, Manufacturer, subject of the German Emperor, resident of
Strassburg-Els.-Ruprechtsau, 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 an insulating material intended for preventing losses
of heat, the raw material of same being silk which has been deprived of all vege-
table admixtures. To this purpose, the silk is to be used in the form of silk-
threads.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification
Fig. 1 is a plan,
Fig. 2 a section of the insulating material formed to a mat-work,
Fig. 3 a section of the insulating material formed to a rope.
In carrying out my invention the raw silk before being used is carbonized by
means of vapours of hydrochloric acid, until the vegetable admixtures of the silk
are decomposed. Afterwards, the products of decomposition are removed by
shaking and washing, together with the remainders of hydrochloric acid. Now,
the silk-threads are dressed after that the same have been treated in the above
described manner, with breaking-cards and forms hanks which, after that the same
have eventually been slightly twisted, are formed to a mat-work, as to be seen
in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing. In the latter a represents the threads,
hanks.

The new insulating material is wound in the height of about 30 mm. (1 inch)
arounds the reservoirs, vessels or pipes which are to be protected against a loss
of heat, the material being fixed in place by the usual means.
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. An insulating material for preventing losses of heat, consisting of silk-
threads which are deprived of all vegetable admixtures, substantially as set forth.
2. An insulating material consisting of silk-threads deprived of all vegetable
admixtures and formed to a mat-work, substantially as set forth.

the like.
I, ALBRECHT SCHÜTTE, of 26, Fasanen Strasse, Charlottenburg, in the Empire
of Germany, Student, 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 the invention, the subject of this application, is to obtain "relievo-
like" reproductions of photographs, which may either be used directly, or used as
printing blocks by means of galvanoplastic treatment. The product of the
process, viz., the relievo-like" reproduction of the object photographed, is ex-
plained by the annexed drawing, in which Figure 1 shews the photographic plate
with the casting frame in vertical section.
Figure 2 shews the picture in relievo.
After having taken a particularly clear photograph of the object to be repro-
duced, which is best done on a plate coated with a thick layer of emulsion, the
parts decomposed by the light are well washed after developing and fixing. Over
the photographic plate a which has been treated in this manner, the frame -
made of wood or other suitable material-is placed, the frame being so made that
it covers the edge of the plate a slightly. Into this frame a layer of liquid
plaster of Paris is then poured. As soon as the plaster has hardened a little, the
frame is removed, and the slab c of plaster of Paris is lifted off the photographic
plate a. The under side, of the plaster-slab now shews the exact
relievo-
like "
reproduction of the photographic negative.
If it is desired to use this plaster-cast directly, as medals, ornaments, or for
any other purpose desired, it will be well to suitably color the plastic side. The
colouring should be done by water colours, and by means of a large and very
soft brush. The colouring matter will collect principally in the sunk places, and
thus an effective picture will be produced. By galvanoplastic means printing
blocks, ornaments, etcetera, may be produced from the plaster slab c in the usual
manner.
*
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. The production of relievos of photographic objects, by making a plaster cast
off a developed and fixed photographic plate substantially as herein set forth.

Machinery.
We, FREDERICK KING, of Camp Street, Broughton, Salford, in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, and WILLIAM MOORE, of 32, Church Street, Harpurhey,
Manchester, in the said County, Foreman Machinist, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to what are known as flexible spindles for spinning
and twisting machinery and is designed to improve the lubrication of such
spindles.
The apparatus comprises the spindle the holder a flexible tube in the holder
and a loose oil well attached or connected thereto.
The flexible tube we construct with a chamber on the outside to form an oil
reservoir or receiver between it and the holder. In the foot of the flexible tube
are formed by drilling or otherwise holes to admit the oil from the oil well to the
interior. These holes project from the bottom into the interior in the direction
of rotation of the spindle to allow the oil to rise as it is lifted by the rotation
of the spindle.
The top part of the holder is formed or provided with a nick slit or slot to
allow the oil to trickle down from the flexible tube as it overflows into a cup
attached to the holder to receive it.
On the lower end of the flexible tube is placed a loose spring hoop or ring
to prevent it being 'drawn out of its place.
Around the spindle is formed a spiral groove or thread to lift the oil.
The loose oil well is affixed to the holder by a spring ring or hoop or in any
other suitable way to render it easily detachable.

COMPLETE DELICATION.
Improvements in Spool-caps for Sewing Machines.
I, OTTO PETRI, of Brunswick, in the Empire of Germany, Inventor, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Heretofore spool-caps for sewing or stitching machines have been made of com-
paratively thick metal and heavy weight, with an outer depression or recess to
receive and lodge the usual tension spring, and such spool-caps had to be turned
out from a block of material, which was very expensive and necessitated much
time for manufacturing said caps
The object of my invention is to avoid all the objectionable features and
methods heretofore employed in making spool-caps, and to enable the latter to
be made of thin steel plates in a less expensive manner, to provide a spool-cap of
lesser weight than those heretofore employed.
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, 18 a bottom plan view.
Fig 2, is a side elevation.
Fig. 3, is a section on line A, B, of Fig. 1, of a spool-cap constructed in accord-
ance with my invention.
In carrying out my invention, 1 employ a thin steel plate of suitable size
which I form into a substantially semispherical cap w by any well known means
(f.. stamping or punching) with the usual round aperture in the top of the cap.
then provide three or more lugs or suitable extensions a in the interior of the
cap and on the sides thereof, said lugs or extensions serving to guide the spool
in operation.
The usual tension springs instead of being lodged in a recess on the outer
side of the cap as usually, will be secured between two of said lugs a as shown.
Thus I obtain a cap of less weight and greater efficiency than those heretofore
employed, my improved cap being furthermore inexpensive to manufacture and
operating smoothly and steadily in practical use.
The spool-cap is intended to be used underneath the bed plate of a sewing
machine.
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. The herein described method of making spool-caps for sewing machines of
thin steel plates, consisting in lodging the usual tension spring in the interior
of the cap, and providing simple but efficient means for guiding the spool in
operation, substantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture,
spool-cap for sewing-machines, made of

Improvements in or relating to Coupling Nipples for Radiators.
Year: 1899

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Coupling Nipples for Radiators.
I, JOHN WILLIAM LANG, residing at 190, George Street, in the City of Toronto,
in the County of York, and Province of Ontario, Canada, Wholesale Grocer, 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 certain new and useful improvements in coupling
nipples for radiators and the object of this invention is to devise a nipple that
can be cheaply manufactured, and which will make a perfectly water tight joint
between two radiator sections, whilst a further object of the invention is to so
arrange the nipple that it will produce a complete circulation of the beating
agent through the radiator and the invention consists essentially of a nipple
embracing in its construction a circular band, having at one end a cap or
diaphragm provided with comparatively a diminutive opening as hereinafter more
fully set forth and more particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view through one of the radiator sections.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through a radiator consisting of four radiator sections.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the coupling nipples.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the lines aa Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modification of the nipple.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the specification and
drawings.
The nipple consists of a band A of any suitable diameter and length, and a
cap or diaphragm B at one end of the band preferably formed integral therewith.
In the diaphragm B is an opening C, contiguous to the band A, serving as a vent
for the radiator when the nipple is in use.
Formed medially on the band A is a circular rib D the purpose of which is to
prevent the nipple being forced too far into the hub of the radiator section when
the radiator sections are being coupled.
The band of the nipple shown in Fig. 3 and 4 has a plain outer face to enable
it to be pressed into the radiator sections when they are being coupled.
In Fig. 5 the outer face of the band is shown to be provided with right and left
cut screw threads.
In the use of this nipple the hubs of the radiator sections are similarly screw
threaded, and the interior of the nipple is provided with projections to engage
the tool for turning the nipples. In uniting two radiator sections by means of
the screw threaded nipple, the nipple is placed slightly within the hubs of the
sections and then turned by means of the tool until the radiator sections are
tightly drawn together. In using the plain nipples shown in Fig. 3 and 4 the
nipple is placed in position in the hubs which are then pressed tightly together.
E, E, E, and E, represent the radiator sections each of which may consist
of any number of loops or legs. F, F, represents the hubs of the sections by
means of which the sections communicate with each other.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to adapt casement or single sash windows to
be raised and lowered for ventilating purposes as well as swung inwards for open-
ing and cleaning, whilst being held tight against ingress of water when closed.
To that end I fit the single window sash within a framing in which a recess
is formed at the top to permit of raising the window a few inches and I secure
it at one side on sliding hinges or pivots in the manner described in the Speci-
fication of Letters Patent No. 23151 of 1894, and suspend the sash at the same
side by means of a cord and counterweight. In lieu of the single rod teferred
to in the above mentioned specification, I prefer to employ two short pivot pins
or hinges, one at top and the other near the bottom of the window frame to which
the sash is pivoted, the pivot pins or hinges being of such length as to permit of
the part of the hinge on the sash sliding thereon when the window is raised to
clear the sill. The batten rod on the opposite side of the window is hinged or
made removable so that when raised the sash may be swung inwards on its pivots

A communication to me from Dr. J. DE CONSTANT, of 2A, Bornstrasse, Essen
a/Ruhr, in the Empire of Germany, Professor.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., of 65 and 66, Chancery
Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Chartered Patent Agents and 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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say:--
This invention has for its object an improved arrangement of switches, and
of means for operating them, for narrow guage railways and tramways, especially
street tramways, by which the positions of the switch can be adjusted by the
conductor on the car.
The accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the invention, shows
a plan of the improved arrangement. The apparatus consists of a double fork a
which is pivotted to the crossbar 6 connecting the two moveable switches c, c,
and can be turned on a fixed bolt d. The movement of the fork a and the cor-
responding position of the switches to the right or left, is effected-in the case
for example of street tramcars-by means of two bars arranged on the front
platform of the car, and passing down through the bottom of the latter, reaching
nearly to the level of the rails, but kept up by a spring or springs until the
conductor presses one or the other of them down with his foot or hand. This,
as a rule, will always serve to set the switch in the proper position if it is not
already there. The conductor, from the car, presses upon the right or left-hand
bar, a little before reaching the switch, the bottom end of the bar entering and
moving along a groove g on the upper side of one of the two short rails f, fixed
between the main rails e, and the bar strikes either the right or left angle h of
the fork, and causes the moveable switches c to be moved to the right or left, so
that the car is directed in the required direction. The pressure is then removed
from the bar, which is automatically raised by a spring or equivalent device.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A switch for narrow guage railways, and tramways, in which by means of a
double fork a which is connected with the cross bar 6 connecting the moveable
switches C, and can turn upon the bolt d, the switches can be turned to the right

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
-
This invention relates to improvements
in the apparatus for which Letters
Patent No. 5164 of 1898 have been granted to me.
In the said apparatus the raw sizing material is mixed, but the quite fresh and
the already boiled substance is not separated.
To remedy this defect and render the apparatus more efficient in respect of the
quantity and quality of the size thereby produced, the improvement illustrated
on annexed sheet of drawing in practice have been found most suitable.
Upon the shaft V of the mixing device W in the cylindrical boiler it, are secured
concentrically one or more discs S, as shown in Fig. 1, which are less in diameter
than the interior of the boiler so that they do not touch same, which discs
separate the various stages in the boiling of the sizing material and cause the latter
to pass from one stage to the other gradually according to its developments.
According to a modification of my invention every alternate disc may be formed
large enough to bear against the interior of the boiler, as shown in Fig. 2 and be
formed with ports T, or according to another modification, see Fig. 8, they may
be secured to the axis V in inclined positions.
The raw sizing material enters the boiler R at Y and as it is mixed by the said
mixing device, it is pressed in the direction of the shaft V, the worked up
portion flowing between the peripheries of the said dises and the interior of
the boiler or through the ports in the said dises whilst the finished product leaves
through the exit 1.
In practice it may be found advisable to alter the shape or outline or com-
bination of the said dises which may be done without departing from the nature of
my said invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
In the apparatus for the continuous treatment of size by boiling, specified in
Letters Patent No. 5164 of 1898, the employment of one or more suitably shaped
dises in any suitable combination upon the shaft of the boiler, which discs may
be solid or have ports and run in contact with or clear of the interior of the
boiler and be secured to their shaft at a right angle or inclined thereto, for the
purpose of separating the various stages in the boiling of the sizing material
and causing the latter to pass from one stage to the other gradually according to
its development.

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in the Method of Lighting Sewing Machines,
I, HENRY POWERS, of Sunset View, Earby, near Skipton, in the County of
York, Evangelist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My invention relates to a new method of lighting sewing machines.
Hitherto it has always been difficult. to light a sewing machine if the light was
to be shed on any particular part of the machine, on account.of the lamp or candle
being liable to be easily overturned. My invention overcomes all such objections,
as the lamp becomes a part of the machine, and although it is securely attached
to the arm of the machine, it can be moved on a pivot so that the light will fall
conveniently upon the object of work.
To overcome the above named difficulty, I arrange a lamp on an arm or bracket.
The end of the bracket which holds the lamp is placed so that the light will
fall upon the work. The other end is fixed to the arm of the machine by a pin,
rivet, or screw with head. The screw can be screwed into a hole made in the arm
of the machine, of fastened by means of a metal band girding the arm: in the
latter case the head of the screw is placed downward, resting against the arm of
the machine, and the screw passes through the metal band and through a plate
in the end of the bracket, where it is fastened with a nut.
A small hole is left in this end of the bracket a little way above the plate, so
that a spanner can be inserted to fix the nut, or to clench the rivet.
This is an
important part of my invention.

Process for Carburising and Deoxydising Molten Iron.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Build-
ings, in the County of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention (as communicated to me from
abroad by Friedrich Schotte, of No. 27A, Grossbeerenstrasse, Berlin, Germany,
Engineer) and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
According to the present invention the carbonizing and deoxydising of molten
iron, whether in the casting ladle, or in the Bessemer converter or in casting
moulds, is effected by means of a mixture of calcium carbide and quicklime made
from a pure form of limestone or from artificially prepared calcium carbonate.
For this purpose calcium carbide produced by the action of an electric current
in the known manner, is, after the interruption of the electric current, mixed
with quick-lime, and the pulverulent mixture thus obtained is then placed upon
the bottom of the casting ladle or in the Bessemer converter, or in the casting
mould and the molten iron is then poured on to it.
The proportion of the mixture to the steel or iron depends on the percentage
of oxygen, generally not more than 02 per cent. in the metal, the calcium of the
calcium carbide being destined to combine with this oxygen. If highly carburised
steel is required the mixture added should contain twice as much carbon as the
quantity required in the steel.
The use of the quicklime is necessary in order to take up every vestige of
moisture, as this would otherwise entirely prevent the proper action of the calcium
carbide, by decomposing the same, and forming acetylene. The proportion of
quicklime required for this purpose varies with the humidity of the atmosphere
and the amount of water, if any, used to water the rolling mill rolls; the pro-
portion need not exceed 10 per cent. and is generally not more than 05 per cent.
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;-
-
į
The process of carburising and deoxydising molten iron which consists in the
use of a mixture of calcium carbide and quicklime introduced into the Bessemer
converter, casting ladle or casting mould, substantially as described.

A New or Improved Machine for Washing Plates, Dishes and the like.
I, JOHANNES DÜNNER, of Murtenstrasse 36, Bern, Switzerland, 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 a new or improved machine for washing household
plates, dishes and the like, and is principally intended for use in hotels, or large
restaurants, but it may also be for private use; the plates or dishes to be cleaned
are moved in a circle between brushes in hot water whereby they are quickly and
easily cleaned. An example of such a plate washing machine is represented in
the annexed drawing in which: Figure 1 is a section, Figure 2 a section with
parts removed and Figure 3 a plan view. In the vessel a filled with hot water,
is seated a framing b movable round a vertical shaft d and provided with
holders for receiving the plates to be washed. On the cross piece e which is
used for the bedding of the driving device of the framing b brushes are fastened
which reach down into the vessel a and are so arranged that the holders cas
well as the plates between the same can be moved between them whereby the
plates are brushed inside and outside by the bristles.
By means of the bevelled wheel gear g g of the shaft h and the crank the
framing with the plates standing in the holders c can be put into quick rotation,
whereby the plates are cleaned both by the hot water and also by the brushes.
The holders c wherein the plates are placed in an upright position are so arranged
on the frame that the plates are so held by them that the latter offer little
resistance both to the water and also to the bristles of the brushes f when turned
quickly in the path of a circle.
The grease collected on the surface of the water in washing the plates, can run
off through the opening k and the hollow stopper whilst the vessel a can be
emptied through the opening m and the same closed by the stopper 7.
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:-
A new or improved machine for washing plates, dishes and the like having a
suitably formed frame b mounted so as to revolve on a vertical shaft, and rotated
in a vessel containing hot water, provided with holders c in which the plates
or the like to be washed are put upright; and having also stationary brushes f
whose bristles are so arranged that the plates turned in the path of a circle,
are cleaned by the same both on their in and out-side.

An Improvement in Cellular Plates for Machines Separating Seeds of Weeds from Grain.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Cellular Plates for Machines Separating Seeds of
Weeds from Grain.
I, NICOLAUS HEID, of Stockerau, near Vienna, 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:-
-
The cellular plates at present employed in machines for separating the seeds
of weeds from grain are generally made out of a soft metal, such as zinc, for
the sake of cheapness, and it has been found that the surface of such plates are
subject to comparatively rapid wear on account of the frictional action of the
seeds and grain passing over them, so that the edges of the cells lose their property
of retaining the seeds in them sufficiently long to prevent their becoming mixed
with the grain again.
The present invention has for its object to practically do away with such wear
of the plates, and it consists in providing the cellular plates when made of soft
metal with a facing of a harder metal, as I will describe with reference to the
accompanying drawings. The body of the plate a is made of the ordinary cheap
and comparatively soft metal, and upon this is fixed a facing b of a harder or
more resisting metal, which constitutes the working face of the plate.
The facing may be secured to the body either mechanically, such as by screw-
ing rivetting or soldering, or by electrolytic deposit.
The cell can be formed by cutters or dies in the known manner in the com-
pound plate either before or after the union of the two parts.
my
inven-
Fig. 1 shews a section of a cylindrical plate constructed according to
tion; Fig. 2 shows part of a flat plate in which the facing his assumed to have
been combined with the backing a by electro deposit.
Figs. 3 and 4 shew a section and a part plan of a plate in which the facing of
harder metal a is fixed on the backing 6 by means of rivetting. In the above
described figures the cells are supposed to have been formed in the plate by
cutting or stamping after the two parts have been combined.
Fig. 5 shews a section of a plate in which the hard metal facing 6 is combined
with the backing a after the cells have been formed by cutting or stamping.
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:
Cellular plates for machines for separating the seeds of weeds from grain,
onsisting of a body or backing of comparatively soft metal with which is com-
bined a facing for the operative surface formed of a harder metal, substantially
s and for the purpose described.
