Improvements in Scoops for Groceries and other Materials.
A communication from BRUNO RICHARD EICHLER, Master Baker, of Stetzsch,
near Dresden, in the Empire of Germany.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered 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:-
This invention relates to a scoop for groceries and other materials which, inasmuch
as it is made of horn, is very durable and cleanly, and moreover, owing to its bent
form it makes the delivery of any such small materials or articles from a pair of
scales into a paper bag extremely easy and convenient and it is no longer necessary
when serving a customer, to pass the arm round the scale-pan or bent pendant of the
balance with its dish containing the materials.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents the improved bent horn scoop
in longitudinal vertical section.
Figure 2 is a view of the same, as seen from above.
The scoop is made out of ordinary cow or similar horn, so that the form of the
scoop is necessarily dependent upon the shape of the horn itself, which is neatly and
thoroughly turned hollow, so as to be easily cleaned out by dusting, with the
occasional application of some detergent powder. One part of the horn is then cut
away so as to form the opening o while leaving an upper edge s to support the sides,
the back end of the scoop being closed with a disc or stop d fitted with a handle.
The stays when the scoop is in use, prevents the contents i.e. the mater.als, from
falling out, the back end being always held lower than the forward until the
nioment of discharge, so that, with this scoop a greater quantity can be handled
than with a scoop of the ordinary kind.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is;-
1. A scoop such as described made of horn and of a bent form.
2. A curved scoop substantially as described.

Chancery Lane, in the Administrative County of London, Engineer and 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved process for the treatment of the juice of
sugar canes and consists in subjecting them to a double sulphitation.
In carrying it into effect, the juice after the addition thereto of lime or any
other, alkali, is fed into tanks where it is treated, hot or cold, with sulphurous
acid (SO). The latter is produced in special furnaces.
The supply of the sulphurous acid is continued until the juice, sufficiently
saturated, allows of the separation of it from the precipitates, by decantation, or
better, by filtration under pressure.
The clear juice is then fed into other tanks where it is again treated with
sulphurous acid (SO) up to neutralisation or to slight acidity, then filtered
through any suitable type of mechanical filter.
The above described process allows of the juice being obtained free from colour,
limpid and thoroughly purified; and giving a maximum yield of finest white
sugar.
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 improved process consisting in subjecting cane juice to a double sulphitation
for the purpose of obtaining high degree of purity and the entire absence of

Improvements in Tables for Playing Pool and like Games.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 tables upon which the game of pool is played, that is,.
a table having pockets and which is ordinarily known as a pool table.
This invention consists broadly, in providing the corners of the table with
cushions arranged at an angle to the side and end cushions, and in providing a
pocket in each of these corner cushions.
In pool tables as now constructed, the side and end cushions meet in the
corners at right angles to each other which renders it quite easy for an expert
player to run a ball along a cushion into a corner pocket, which is in direct line
with the edge of the cushions. With my invention it is obvious that such a play
is rendered difficult or impossible.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a top or plan view of a pool table embodying my improvement and
Figure 2 is a plan view on an enlarged scale of a corner portion of the said
table.
Referring by letter to the drawing, A designates the bed of the table, A¹ the
rail, B the side cushions and B' the end cushions.
C, designates the corner cushions arranged at an angle to the side and end
cushions. It is to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular
degree of angles neither do I confine myself to the length of the corner cushions.
The corner cushions are cut away in their central portions to form openings a
leading to the pockets a', and thus the corner cushions practically form offsets or
shoulders between the longitudinal edge of the ordinary cushions and the pockets,
thus forming a barrier to the line cushion shot before mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is:-
In a game table the combination with the bed, the side cushions, and the
eud cushions, of corner cushions arranged at an angle relatively to the side and
end cushions, and having the cut away portions, and the pockets, substantially as
specified.

Figure 2 illustrates it in cross section.
As shewn in the drawings the mixing chamber B, which is combined with and
opens into the inlet valve A, is furnished with a number of nozzles F each of
which is in communication through the passage E with the petroleum supply pipe P..
It is important that the petroleum be kept at a certain and constant level in the
apparatus, for instance that indicated by the dotted line M N, Figure 2, and for
the purpose of indicating the height of the petroleum in the apparatus the end of the
passage E communicates with a glass sight or gauge tube W.
The delivery ends of the nozzles F are closed, opened, or controlled by the conical
ends of or valves formed upon the screws G. These screws are tubular or are
bored longitudinally so that air enters at H and is drawn through them during the
period of suction and forms the petroleum into spray.
The further supply of air is controlled by the throttle or other valve D regulated:
through the rod R either by a governor or by hand.
For the purpose of heating the mixed oil and air the casing of the apparatus is.
made hollow as at C, and the exhaust gases from the engine are passed through the
hollow space by the pipes K and L. A more complete mixture of the air and oil
may be ensured by the addition of a perforated disc or screen Q fixed between the
chamber and the inlet valve A.
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. In a mixing chamber or device for use with petroleum or similar engines the
combination with the oil delivery nozzles of adjustable tubular valves, all
constructed arranged and operated substantially as and for the purpose herein before.
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. A mixing device or chamber for use with petroleum or similar engines
constructed arranged and operating substantially as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

or Tapered Rods, or Rods having Curved Profiles in the Longi-
tudinal Direction.
I, AUGUST REICHWALD, of 9 New Broad Street, in the City of London, Steel,
Iron, Metal, and Mineral Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from abroad by the Firm of Fried Krupp, of Essen in
the Empire of Germany Cast Steel Manufacturers) 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 apparatus for drawing cylindrical rods into conical or
tapered forms or into rods having curve-shaped profiles in the longitudinal
direction.
An example of apparatus constructed according to this invention is shown in the
accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, and Figure 2 is a sectional end elevation of
the aforesaid apparatus drawn on a larger scale than the previous figure, to more
clearly show the drawing head.
The required power may be produced by any suitable mechanical device, say by
a hydraulic apparatus, a screw, or by any other suitable mechanism. In the
annexed drawing a hydraulic apparatus C is represented.
According to this invention the drawing head is composed of two or more systems
or series of segments a, the joints of which cover each other, that is the adjacent
edges of one set of segments break joint with the adjacent edges of the next set.
The several segments a are provided with exchangeable closure pieces b, forming
the die proper, these being inserted as shown at Figure 1; d, d are exchangeable
rails secured in a cylindrical or other shaped case e, the longitudinal profile of the
rails being in accord with the longitudinal profile to be given to the tapered or
curved rod to be formed. The rod is held fixed by an eccentric 9 or eccentrics,
or in other suitable manner, the several segments a being caused to slide as required
upon the exchangeable rails d by the traverse of the drawing head produced by
the driving power as for example by a hydraulic ram as shown at Figure 1.
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 :-
An apparatus for manufacturing by drawing conical rods or rods formed in the
longitudinal direction with curve-shaped profiles, consisting in the arrangement of
a drawing head provided with two or more series of segments a having exchangeable
closure pieces and sliding upon rails d secured in a case e and arranged to accord
with the longitudinal profile to be given to the rod to be produced all substantially
as and for the purposes described and shown by reference to the accompanying
drawing.

An Improved Cooking Apparatus.
I, MARTIN KASK, of 48 Gartenstrasse, St. Petersburg, Russia, 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:-
The subject of this invention is a lamp-cooking apparatus, which can be adapted
to any style or shape of lamp, and which affords a means of utilising the heat-
emitted by an ordinary lamp for boiling water or milk, making tea or coffee,
warming food, or frying or similar purposes.
This lamp-cooker is shown in the annexed drawing, in which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 is an upper view.
Fig. 3 is a cross-section along line xx.
Fig. 4 is a cross-section along line y y.
The gallery a. of an ordinary lamp is to receive the lamp-cooker ring b, to which
several vertical bars c. are attached, which are arranged so as to form, in the
central part, a projecting ridge or ledge, above which they are contracted to a
smaller diameter, and are joined together at their upper end by a wider ring d.
The ledge e. on the vertical bars c. is intended to hold a lampshade in proper
position, and may be dispensed with if the lamp is fitted with a glass-globe, which
in that case is made to rest on the cooker-ring b. instead of on the gallery-ring a..
The gallery a. and cooker-ring b. are firmly affixed to each other by means of three
fasteners f. which revolve on small pins, on the cooker-ring b.
A conically shaped cup g. at its lower end, is fitted with a cylindrical ring h
which can be slid over the upper cooker-ring d. so as to fix the cup g. to the
apparatus. The conical part of this metal-plate cup g. is triangularly incised in
certain places, thus forming the lugs i. which are bent out horizontally and which.
serve as supports for the cooking-vessel.
The lamp-cooker is placed on the lamp so as to leave the lamp chimney in its
usual position, between the bars c. Ring . is then fastened, as stated, to gallery a,.
after which the lamp-shade ring e. is put on, and finally, cup g. is attached by means
of ring h. whereupon the apparatus is ready and in position for use. As already
hinted, in the case of lamps fitted with a glass globe, ring e. is dispensed with, the
globe being placed direct on the lower cooker-ring b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
A lamp-cooker, characterised by two rings b. and d. and of which the lower
one b. is fastened to the lamp gallery a. by means of fasteners f. while the upper
one, d. is meant to receive the cylindrical ring h. of tbe conical cup g. and which
rings are joined together by bars c. which are provided with a ledge in the middle
carrying the lamp shade ring e. which is dispensed with if the lamp has a globe
which can be placed direct on the cooker-ring d.

Improvements in Phantom Baits.

Improvements in Phantom Baits.
1, GEORGE FORREST, of 35 Square, Kelso, in the County of Roxburgh, North
Britain, Fishing Tackle 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 improvements in phantom baits.
In accordance with my improvements the phantom is so mounted relatively with
the hooks or mounting, that when the fish strikes, the phantom may clear itself of
the mounting and so prevent the fish damaging the phantom; the phantom is
therefore in accordance with my improvements rendered much more durable; a
further advantage of my said improvements is that the fish can be more easily
taken off the hooks when the phantom is not in the way.
In the carrying out of my improvements I fix a ring crossways in the mouth of
the phantom and I cut a slit in the side of the phantom at the part marked a, and
I then pass the line or trace with swivel 61 attached through the said slit in the
body of the phantom and out through the ring in the mouth; the arrangement
being preferably such that the middle hook c namely the hook between the swivel
and the tail hook is at the said slit in the phantom that is to say at about the
middle of the body of the phantom, with the tail hooks d at the tail of the
phantom.
It will thus be seen that the phantom is only held by contact of the slit with the
middle hook, and that it is free to run up the line quite clear of the mounting.
Also, by the said arrangement of the hooks, the spinning of the phantom is not
so retarded as heretofore; my said phantom spinning much more freely.
As shown in the drawing the swivel preferably just protrudes clear of the ring in
the mouth of the phantom.
In order to keep the body of the phantom in its normal shape and so that the
line or trace may have a clear run through, I may insert a piece of india rubber
tube or the like within the front part of the body of the phantom and a continuation
of the said tubing may form a stiffener for the inside of the tail portion of the
phantom.
When the phantom is made of silk or soleskin, it readily admits of the slit being
cut across as shown in the drawings; but in lieu of the slit I might form a round
hole or other opening in the side of the phantom.
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 phantom baits, the arrangement of mounting the phantom upon the tackle or
mounting substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown
in the accompanying drawings.

Improved Combination Garment.
I, HEINRICH VOLKMER of 5 Brüderstrasse, Lauban in Silesia in the Kingdom.
of Prussia, Master Bootmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven--
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described'
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists in the manufacture of a combination garment composed
of leather boots and trousers combined, which is more particularly intended for the
use of navvies, fishermen, excavators, sailors and in general of all persons who have
to stand for a lengthened period in wet soil or in water and desire to be unimpeded
in the free motion of their lower extremities in order to be able to perform their
work easily. The garments hitherto employed for this purpose have the defect,
that the union of the trousers and boots by means of straps or in any other way
did not make a watertight joint, and that the free movement of the legs was.
impeded by the connections. The object of my invention is to remedy these
defects.
On the drawings appended hereunto,
Fig. 1 shows a back view,
Fig. 2 a side view, and
Fig. 3 a front view of the improved garment.
The invention consists essentially in making the boots a, boot legs and trousers e
out of one piece of material. The garment has altogether three seams for con-
necting it, namely a central seam d extending from the fork to the waistband at
the back and one seam c c¹ in each leg. The legs of the trousers are continued
downwards to the ankles and terminate in a firm watertight foot covering or boot a.
At a suitable height straps are fixed on the inside for the purpose of putting on
the trouser-boots, after the upper part e has been rolled down inside out to form
an annular roll, which after the boot part has been put on, is unrolled upwards.
The seams ccd may be further strengthened by putting strips of leather over
them on the inside of the garment and stitching them thereto on the edges.
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 manufacture of a combination garment comprising boots, boot legs and.
trousers made out of one piece of material substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the drawings.
2. The manufacture of a combination garment comprising boots, boot legs and.
trousers with only three seams c c' and d, substantially as hereinbefore described.
and illustrated by the drawings.

A Composing Stick.
We, OTTO BECK, Merchant, of Eschersh, Landstrasse, and OSWALD BECK,.
Compositor, of No. 57 Dreikönigs-strasse, both of Frankfort-on-the-Main, in the
German Empire, 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 accompanying drawings represent an improved composing stick adapted for
use by printers or compositors of type. It will be seen, that the so-called " pan
is adapted to be secured in position by means of an eccentric b connected with a
lever h. By turning the lever h in the proper direction, the eccentric is caused to.
bear upon the bent piece or yoke a and thereby tightly to secure in place both this.
piece and the pan. The whole device is firmly set or tightened in this manner and
enables the screw usually employed for this purpose to be dispensed with, it having.
over such screw the advantage of greater simplicity.
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:
A composing stick for printers or compositors of type, comprising in its.
construction an eccentric adapted to secure the pan in position, substantially as.
described.
