Improvements in or relating to Sliding Trivets.
JAMES PEDLEY Manufacturer 86 Cheapside Birmingham do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improvement in the manufacture of sliding trivets by piercing the solid
plate near the four corners leaving one end intact and curling the other backward
underneath the plate, thus forming a flange or runner, in the solid for the rod
to work through enabling the plate to be moved backward or forward at will.
The first part of the trivet is a flat piece of iron say, 18 inches long 10 iron
gauge, turned on the thin edge in the shape of a U the ends being bent to form
hooks to hang on fire-bar in front of grate.
The "runners" being formed from and remaining a part of the solid plate. The
rod is put through the runners, or, slides, then riveted to the front, which hangs
on the fire-bar, thus forming a sliding trivet.
The rod is a piece of round iron about 34 inches long (No. 1 iron gauge) turned
in the shape of a U thinned at the ends to rivet firm into the front. This trivet
can be made in brass, iron, or steel.
Improvements in or relating to Sliding Trivets.
1, JAMES PEDLEY, Iron Plate Worker, 86 Cheapside, Birmingham 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 provide runners out of, and forming part of
the solid plate, for the slides, or, bars whereby the trivet may be moved backwards
or forward as desired, thus regulating the heat.
In order to do this I pierce two sides and one end in four corners of the plate,
thus forming flanges.
These are turned backwards underneath the plate thereby forming runners, or,
slides for the rod or side bar to work through. The runners being part of the
plate no riveting, or, screwing is required.
Referring to the drawings
Fig. 1, is a view showing trivet complete.
Fig. 2, is a view of trivet reversed showing the working of the runners.
Fig. 3, is a view showing section of runner with rod attached.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is performed, I declare what I claim is
1st. Construction of runners, or, slides from and being part of the plate.

Improvements in Boots and Shoes.
JOHN JAMES HARTOPP 43 Gresham Street Leicester Boot Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In ordinary lace boots, more particularly those worn by girls and boys, that part
of the back seam just above the stiffener invariably works into a hole. This is
caused by the friction produced when walking, between the stiffened part of the
heel, and the more pliable top part of the upper. In order to obviate this defect,
instead of using the ordinary curried upper leather, I cut an outside counter and
back strap in one piece out of sole-leather which entirely prevents the aforesaid
friction.

An Improved Hat-brush.
I, RICHARD SCHULZ, of Herbertstrasse 3 Schöneberg near Berlin in the-
Empire of Germany, 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 :-
This invention relates to a hat-brush which is shown in the annexed drawing, in
which Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a lateral view, and it is designed to
serve more especially for brushing the upwardly and inwardly bent brims of stiff
hats especially those covered with silk.
Brushes in present use with crescent shaped bristle holding backs have the
disadvantage that the bristles are fixed therein rectangularly or with only
slight divergence. On using such brushes the wood will usually touch the hat
surface with its lateral edges thus injuring the hat surface more or less, especially
when in order to brush the upwardly curved surfaces the brush is held and moved
obliquely. These defects are removed by this improved brush owing to the fact
that, no matter how it may be handled and held, the bristles only will come in
contact with the hat surface.
The brush-back B of semi-cylindrical cross section, may in its longitudinal
extension be straight or slightly bent; the bristle-bundles being inserted with great
divergence or radially as shown in Fig. 2 into the bristle-carrying-body or brush-
back B, the ends of the bristles forming an approximately semi-cylindrical brush
surface; upon the top of the brush-back a suitable handle is provided of a form
shown for instance in Fig. 1. As this handle is fixed on the top of the brush-back
and does not form as in other hat brim-brushes, an end ways prolongation of the brusli-
back, the use of this new brush will be found very convenient, allowing of oblique
positions of the handle surface when the upper surfaces of the brim and the ribbon.
are to be brushed, without anything else than the bristle surface coming in contact
with the surface of the hat.
"
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 1
claim is :-
An improved hat-brush, in which the bristle-bundles are arranged radially to or
greatly diverging from the axis of the bristle-back (B) thus forming with their
outer ends a curved (semi-cylindrical) brushing surface, a bow shaped handle (C)
being fixed upon the top of the bristle back (B), substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Portable Fire Escapes.
I FRANZ TIEGERMANN, of Kelmak per Konop in the Kingdom of Hungary,
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 object of the present application is a mechanism for use as a fire escape
which, by its prompt and simple use, permits the persons threatened by fire to
lower themselves quickly from upper rooms.
In the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a vertical section of the fire escape,
Figs. 3 and 4 show the front and side view of the mechanism ready to use.
In a case A is journalled an axle B upon which a drum C and ratchet wheel D
are fixed. In the ratchet wheel D engages a pawl E which revolves on pin F and
is provided with a nose G against which presses a spring H bearing at the other
end against the metal wall A' of the case A. Upon the drum C is rolled the
ladder made of best steel plate which is rivetted at the ends with two angle irons
upon the iron plate K. The two side plates A2 and A³ are joined by a cross bar L
upon which are screwed two bent round iron bars M which serve to guide the
springs fixed at one end to the bar L and at the other end to the wall of the
case N flatly arched. The case N is made to slide in a similarly formed part of
the case A and is provided with a guiding pin N¹ which moves in a slot a in the
case A.
The mechanism is placed at the window. To use it during danger of fire the
handle is pressed down. As it is fixed at the pawl E the latter is raised. By
the elasticity of the steel bands of the ladder the iron plate K is pushed out and
pulls downwards the ladder fixed upon it and falls until the pressure upon the
handle O ceases and the pawl E stops again the ratchet wheel D. To give to the
ladder sufficient distance from the house wall and to make it fall down quickly
the two springs m push outwards, through the opening of the case A, which was
closed by the plate K, the case N, the too far advancing of which is hindered by
the touching of the flanges N' fixed to it against the flanges A* of the case A.
To stiffen and guide the case N two supporting arms P are pivoted to the case A
and to the casing N. After use the ladder j could be rolled up again upon the
drum C by means of a crank handle Q fixed to the axle B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A fire escape consisting of a ladder of band metal rolled upon a drum which
is provided with a ratchet wheel and corresponding pawl, by the detaching of
which pawl the ladder is thrown by its own elasticity from the case.
2. The construction of case with extension case N and ladder and drum in the
manner described.

A New Game of Skill.
I THOMAS WASS FLORY of 40 Manor Road, Colchester, in the County of
Essex, 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 :-
I provide a model of a lighthouse with a hollow or partly hollow interior.
Around the model I cut a number of circular openings or portholes of equal size
aud at equal distances from each other leading to the hollow part of the interior.
About a quarter of an inch from the edge of each circular opening or porthole
in the model, I attach a piece of elastic cord and on the other end of the cord.
I fasten a ball of rather smaller diameter than the circular openings or portholes.
In the hollow part of the. interior I suspend or fix a small gong opposite the
circular openings or portholes.
On the roof of the model, which is removable, corresponding with the circular
openings or portholes, I place several lines of pegholes leading from the
circumference or edge to the apex of the roof. Each circular opening or porthole
has a distinctive coloured ring around the outside, and each line of pegholes is
marked with the same distinctive colour as its own circular opening or porthole.
Pegs of corresponding colour are supplied to each line of pegholes.
The game can be played by two or more persons as follows-
Each player sits opposite to his or her respective circular opening or porthole in
the model.
The object is to get the ball to pass through the circular opening or porthole and
strike the gong. This is accomplished by the player first pulling the ball and
stretching the elastic. The player then takes aim and suddenly releases the ball.
If it passes through the circular opening or porthole and strikes the gong the player
is entitled to move his or her peg into the next peg-hole. The pegs start from the
hole next to the centre or apex hole and the player who first succeeds in removing
his or her peg, under the conditions stated above, to the circumference and back to
the apex or centre hole wins the game.
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 new game of skill in which an elastic and ball is attached to a model, and on
the elastic being stretched and the ball suddenly released the ball passes through a
circular opening or porthole and' strikes a gong in the model.

I, ARTHUR CREASEY HALL, of 8 Stafford Street, Marylebone, London N.W..
Grocer, da 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:-
To enable the leaves of music to be turned as required by a performer without.
interruption, I employ an improved device as illustrated upon the annexed
drawing.
A box a preferably of cylindrical shape is attached to the music rest or stand 9.
by means of a pin, or by any suitable clip or fastening.
Inside box a are a series of spiral springs s.
Under each of these springs is a disc 6'. Each disc has upon its upper side a
spiral springs, which is kept in tension by a projection p upon the disc and
consequently tends to force the dise round when the disc is free to move.
To each of the aforesaid discs an arm c is attached. Each arm e terminates in a
clip or holder e adapted to hold a leaf of the music.
Each disc 6¹ has a notch n in which a spring i engages, such springs i being fixed
to the box a. When the end of spring is resting in notch n, the disc remains.
stationary, and its arm e is held over to the right.
The three lower arms in the drawing are shewn in that position.
To turn over a leaf of the music, the performer presses the knob on end of
rod k', which forces the end of spring i out of notch n, when the action of spring s
causes dise 6 to revolve, and carries arme over to the left hand position.
The top arme in the drawing is shewn in this position.
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 1
claim is

Improvements in Preparing Fat for Use as a Comestible.
I, DAVID GRAY, Junior, Manager Inverness Candle Co., Shore Street,
Inverness, 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 produce peptonised fat to serve as a substitute
for butter, and having qualities promotive of digestion, and curative as regards
indigestion, and being at the same time devoid of any fatty flavor or taste.
The peptonised fat prepared according to my invention I call "Oleotine." In
carrying my invention into effect, I take refined sweet beef fat, rendered at a
temperature not exceeding 130° F.
This fat is run off into enamelled jacket boilers in which has been standing for
ninety-six hours a mixture by weight, of three parts glycerine, five parts water,
and eight parts of the digestive mucus from the upper stomach of sheep or pigs.
The glycerine acts as a solvent. I use one hundred and twelve pounds of the fat
to four pounds of the mixture above mentioned. The contents of these boilers are
heated to a temperature of 100 F. for two hours during which time they are stirred
by any suitable mechanical agitator. The now peptonised fat is then filtered and
run into enamelled vats where it remains for thirty minutes, at a temperature
maintained at 100 F. Twelve pounds of refined edible cotton seed oil is then
added to every one hundred and twelve pounds of the peptonised fat, in order to
improve its consistency. Half a pound of salt is also added, and the whole mass
stirred for fifteen minutes, and then run off into the various packages, which may
be tins, grease-proof packets, stone jars or the like for weights under fifty-six
pounds, or kegs or the like for larger quantities.
Although I have given the best proportions at present known to me of the
various ingredients employed in carrying out my invention, nevertheless, I do not
confine myself to any particular quantities or relative proportions, as any or all of
them may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention.
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 :-
As a new article of manufacture and as a substitute for butter, and having
special digestive qualities fat peptonised and prepared substantially as described in
the above Specification.

Improvement in the Paddles of Agitators for Bleaching-engines.

Improvement in the Paddles of Agitators for Bleaching-engines.
I, CARL FRIEDRICH SCHMITS, Manufacturer of Düren in the Province of
Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia 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 :-
Up to the present it is almost universally the custom to make paddles for
agitators of iron, but this material does not answer the requirements as it is very
quickly oxidized by the acids and chemicals etc., that are applied, in consequence
of which the light-coloured material to be bleached is rendered impure and destroyed.
The paddles of bronze, which have been now and then employed, have stood the
test better, but the material for them is too expensive.
My invention refers to an agitator, which is more durable and cheaper as well
as more suitable than any others yet in use.
It is constructed in the following manner:
The frame of the paddle-wheel, which is given in perspective in Fig. 3 and which
is made of non oxidising metal, consists of the two pulleys b b₁ connected with the
shaft a (Fig. 2) to which any number of arms cc (Fig. 3) are attached.
The arms have a groove or rabbet with a cover d, which can be screwed on, for
the reception of the paddles e.
As paddles I use plates of glass, china, vulcanite or similar substances, the
thickness of which is great enough to bear the working pressure.
The most suitable material for these paddles is the so-called wire-glass, which
consists of wire-gauze surrounded on all sides by glass in such a manner, that the
wire is not exposed at any spot.
The paddle wheels or agitators made in this manner for bleaching-engines, which
are intended to be used in paper, cellulose and other factories offer a successful
resistance to the effects of bleaching acids, can easily be cleaned and are cheaper
in price on account of their great durability and the possibility of using the material
again, than all other paddles hitherto in use. The chief advantage however lies in
the stuff, which is to be bleached or washed being kept clean.
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:
Paddle-wheels or agitators for bleaching or washing-engines, in which the paddles
made in the form of a plate of china, stoneware, enamelled metal, vulcanite, glass
especially wire-glass, are attached to a paddle-frame made of metal not oxidising
under the influence of bleaching-acids.
Dated this 25th day of April 1895.

Bernhard Brockhues.
