page_text: I, GUSTAV JAGENBURG of Rydboholm, Sweden, 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 :-
According to the present usual process of mordaunting, dyeing, and bleaching
loose cotton fibres, the cotton is subjected to boiling for several hours with a
mordaunting or dyeing solution, or, in the case of bleaching, with alkaline
solutions.
In consequence of this boiling, the cotton loses its elasticity, and becomes stiff, so
that it becomes impossible to spin the same on the ordinary cotton spinning machine,
at least not in the finer numbers, and for good yarn.
In order now to obviate the necessity for this injurious boiling, I impregnate the
cotton "in the cold," or at a low temperature, making use of a vacuum and the
necessary solutions.
Cotton which is to be dyed with aniline colors I impregnate with tannin catechu,
or other solutions containing tannic acid. After the impregnation is finished, the
cotton is taken out of the apparatus, and the surplus tannous moisture is removed
from the cotton by centrifugal means. The cotton is now placed in a second vacuum
apparatus, in which it is impregnated with a solution of a metallic salt (oxalate of
antimony or acetate of copper, for instance), in order to fix the tannin in the fibres.
The cotton is then again removed from the apparatus and freed from superfluous
moisture by centrifugal drying, after which it is allowed to rest for several hours.
After the cotton thus far treated (i.e. mordaunted) has been washed, it is ready for
dyeing with all aniline colours which require tannin as a mordaunt.

page_text: By the use of the vacuum apparatus for the bleaching of raw cotton, the advantage
of dispensing with the usual boiling is also obtained.
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 process for mordaunting, dyeing, and bleaching raw cotton, consisting in
treating the cotton "in the cold," or at a low temperature, in a vacuum apparatus
with the proper mordaunting, dyeing, or alkaline liquor, while at the same time
dispensing with boiling as described.
2. The vacuum apparatus for carrying out the process referred to under claim 1,
and consisting of the impregnating vessel.C, turning upon trunnions, and provided
with a removable cover D, dome E, with float valve G H, and the perforated
distributing tube P, and to which the liquor is led through a tube N from the hollow
trunnion B.

declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Relating to the construction of fire bars used in furnaces the novelty of it is to
to consume a larger amount of smoke, and also to improve the draught, and
economise fuel.
The Fire Bars are made hollow, of any suitable shape in cast or wrought iron or
steel, as shewn in drawings marked letter A.
The front end of bar rests on existing bearers marked letter B.
The opening in the bar is bell shaped, and put in the front circle of it as shewn by
letter C.
The air passage is shown in bar by letter D. The shaded lines are the solid part
of bar.
The novelty of this Bar is putting the opening or bell shaped mouth in this part of
the bar, as it receives a greater current or supply of air continuously passing through
the bar to the back of the furnace, heating it, consuming the smoke, improving the
draught, and economising the fuel. .

page_text: EDWARD GREEN 21 Boden Street Radford Nottingham Engine Man 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 Fire Bars are made hollow marked A of any suitable shape in cast or wrought
iron or steel.
The opening in the bar is a bell shaped mouth marked C (in the curve at the front
end of it) to admit the air, travelling along, it keeps the bar cool, and avoids the
clinkers fastening to it.
The continuous stream of air, by the time it has passed through the bar, has become
heated, and passing out at the back of the bridge, ignites the smoke, burns the
combustible gases, and thus economises the fuel.
By puiting the opening or bell shaped mouth in this particular part of the bar
marked C you insure a stronger draught of air, as you receive the under current
entering the bar, under the fire grate.
The drawings referred to are those left with the provisional specifications.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is :
1. The hollow bar with the Bell shaped mouth or opening to admit the air.
Marked on drawings.
2. This particular part of the bar where the opening is put, marked C.

sulphate or bisulphate of potash or of sulphate of magnesia alone or in combination
in water or in dilute sulphuric acid, to which there may be added, if required,
carbonate or bi-carbonate of the base or the bases and of ammonia.
It will be evident that the sulphate solution may be formed by adding a a carbonate
of the base to dilute sulphuric acid or by adding the sulphate itself and dissolving it
in water or in dilute sulphuric acid. Additional carbonate may be added when
sulphate of lead has formed in excess upon the plates of the battery.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Henrietta and similar Cloths.
I, FRED POLLARD, of Redmayne's Buildings, Thornbury, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Designer, 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 manufacture Henrietta and similar cloths in which
silk warp is used, in such a manner, so as to obtain what is known in the trade as a
"better handle or touch," that is, a softer and fuller fabric; also to improve the
firmness of the cloth without increasing the strength of the warp or weft, or putting
in an increased number of ends or picks; and to obtain a fast and permanent colour
of the fabric when finished.
Hitherto in this class of fabric, it has been the invariable practice to weave the
cloth with a white or undyed warp, and when woven, to dye and finish the same, by
which method, in the former operation, the expanson of the silk is retarded, thereby
leaving the fabric hard to the "touch or handle."
I find that by dyeing silk warps before the cloth is woven that the threads expand
considerably, and thereby become softer, and slightly roughened, so that on weaving,
the weft or cross threads of wool become more imbedded in the warp, thereby giving
more firmness to the fabric, and the expanded warp softness and fullness to the cloth;
and by dyeing warps as before mentioned, a more permanent colour is obtained than
can be when the cloth is dyed after being woven and constructed with different
kinds of fibre.
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 :-
The method of manufacturing Henrietta and similar silk warped fabrics by first
dyeing the warps before weaving for the purpose as hereinbefore described.

We, WILLIAM MALCOLM NEWTON and ALBERT CHARLES CLEMENTS, both of
96 Wood Street, in the City of London, Manufacturing Stationers, 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 manufacture of articles commonly known as
paper-fasteners, although frequently applied to fabrics and materials of various
kinds.
:
One well known form of paper-fastener is produced by doubling a strip of sheet
metal to a T-shape the two extremities of the strip forming, when brought together,
the upright portion of the T. In applying such a fastening to papers, a puncture is
made with a penknife, the two legs are passed through and then bent outwards in
opposite directions.
Our improved fastener is of this type, but is formed from wire instead of froin
sheet metal.
In manufacturing a paper-fastener according to our improved method, we take a
suitable length of steel, brass or other wire, and reduce each of its extremities to a
point resembling that of a pin. The central portion of the wire, corresponding with
that intended to be folded and bent, is then flattened by stamping or other suitable
treatment. The head of the fastener is formed by making two folds each of 180°, and
the legs are formed by bending each of the free ends 90° in reverse directions respec-
tively, a T-shaped product resulting. Both folds and both ends are located within the
flattened portion of the wire.
According to a modified method of carrying out the invention hereinbefore described,
we dispense with the process of flattening the portion of the wire from which the head
is to be formed.

page_text: One of the principal advantages secured by our improved method of manufacture is
that the points of the fastener have sufficient penetrative power to permit of their
being employed, in many instances, to pierce the material to which the fastener is
applied the use of an independent instrument for this purpose being in such cases
;
avoided.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, we claim :-
First The improved manufacture from wire of T-shaped paper-fasteners, sub-
stantially as herein described; the heads thereof being formed of flattened metal and
the legs being pin-pointed.
Second The improved manufacture from wire of T-shaped paper-fasteners'
having pin-pointed legs, substantially as herein described.

manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings
in which A represents a boiler tube the middle portion of which is broken away.
B represent the tube plates of the boiler in which the tube is fixed.
C, C are taper metal plugs which are connected by means of an iron or other
suitable rod D one end of which is screwed in or otherise secured to the plug C. The
other end of the rod is also threaded but the hole through the plug is large enough to
enable it to pass freely over the end of the rod. To apply the apparatus to a leaky
tube the rod with the plug Cattached is passed through the tube. The plug (is
then passed over the screwed end D of the rod and forced into the end of the tube by
means of the nut E. The pressure exerted by the nut E acts also on the plug C by
drawing it into the other end of the tube, thus blocking up both ends and rendering
it steam tight. The hole in the plug C may if desired be carried entirely through and
the rod be provided with a head, but as this would cause a second joint which like
that under the nut E would have to be made steam tight with tow or other packing
the plan shown in the drawing is preferred.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :—
1. In a tube stopper the combination with a rod such as D of two tapered plugs
such as C, C adapted to be placed in the two ends of a tube and forced together by
means of the rod D substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.

page_text: We JAMES MCHARDY of Dollar North Britain Scientific Expert and GEORGE
CAMPBELL HILL of 512 Gallowgate Glasgow Veterinary Surgeon 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, which relates to the training of horses to harness, has for its object,
the yoking of horses in such a manner as to prevent accidents in training either to
the horses, their attendants or the public.
A carriage with four wheels is contrived with a single pole (or vertical partition)
of sufficient strength to form the body of the machine. To this said pole are suitably
attached, the front and back portions of the carriage, these in turn being supplied with
suitable bearings and fastenings to receive and retain two other poles or shafts, one
on either side of the main pole or rigid part of the body, and at such a distance from
it as to admit a horse in the space between each of the said moveable shafts or poles
and the said rigid centre pole or body.
These last mentioned poles or shafts being hinged or otherwise suitably attached
may be raised or removed in order to make way for the animal, in the process of
yoking, and may be brought into position and fixed so as to confine the horse between
the centre rigid pole or body and the said outside shaft when so fixed.
The horse having been suitably enveloped in a net-like harness, which we construct
preferably of cotton rope, on having his harness attached to the centre and outer pole
shall be prevented from falling or lying down, or kicking or rearing by the before-
mentioned net-clothing or harness; for, this being attached to the poles, and the
poles being rigid with one pair of wheels behind and another pair before the horses,
the latter cannot rise without lifting the whole machine, and he cannot get down as
he is supported by the net-clothing or harness which, as before-mentioned completely
envelopes him.

page_text: The front pair of wheels being attached as usual to a pole or shafts, a quiet horse or
horses in front shall have complete control over the wildest horses that may be
harnessed behind and so lead them safely wherever the driver chooses.
As a matter of course the machine may be made of any suitable material and
constructed for the breaking of one two or more horses at a time, and any kind of
fastenings, harness, paddings partitions and so forth may be used if found expedient.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
(1) The construction of the horse breaking machine, as herein set forth, which
enables us to yoke the horse or horses to be trained, with wheels both before and behind
them.

EDWARD BIRCH 101 Miller Street Manchester Machinist do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I insert in a Tap, in the body of the Tap,-either in front, above or behind the
plug or in the plug-a Valve (solid or flexible) which shall prevent the Beer or other
liquor from returning to and thereby disturbing or muddling the contents of a barrel
or other reservoir.

page_text: EDWARD BIRCH Machinist 101 Miller Street Manchester Lancashire do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
In the Body of the Tap A, as shewn in Fig. 1 section, I place a ball B which by its
weight will fall upon its seating 0.
Its operation is that as the liquor is drawn from a barrel or other reservoir through
the tap, the ball will be lifted from its seat to allow such liquor to pass, and directly
sufficient liquor is drawn the ball will instantly fall onto its scat and consequently
prevent the fall and return of such liquor to the main volume contained in the barrel
or other reservoir, thus preventing the muddling or disturbance of the sediment of
liquor, which is of so frequent occurrence.
Instead of the valve being as shewn in the drawing I may place it in the plug D of
the tap, in which case the "Way "would run through the plug in a more or less
vertical direction.
Again instead of one Valve, I may substitute two or more in the same body, nor
do I confine myself to the ball shape of Valve.
The valve or valves may be constructed either of Metal or flexible material or of
both.
Or again instead of aforesaid forms of Valves, I may insert an internal flexible
tube or lining fitted so as to cover the perforations of the cone E, so that when the
liquor is drawn the tube or lining will give way or bend in thus permitting the liquor
to pass, and directly such action of drawing ceases the tube will assume its normal
position, thus closing the passage and preventing the return of the liquor to the
contents of the reservoir.
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 ambination of Tan and Back pressure Valve for liquor.
