page_text: I, EDWARD HEDLEY EDWARDS of Tan-y-fron, Abergele, in the County of
Denbigh, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object the application of pencils, penholders, and the
like to advertising purposes. For this purpose I prefer to form them hexagonal,
but other forms will do; on each side of the pencil or penholder I stamp_an
advertisement just as the maker's name is stamped now on one of the sides. The
advertisements can be for different articles manufactured by the same firm, or be
those of several different firms. By selling the advertisement space it will thus
be profitable to make pencils for the giving away, or for much less than ordinary
rates, while if sold at existing prices the profit is increased, by the advertisement
fees.

In carrying my invention into practice, I prefer to stamp each advertisement
with a different coloured ink or metal from that of the adjoining ones, especially
if the advertisements be for different firms. Thus if the first be in gold, the next
can be in silver. But they can all be in one colour or simply stamped in without
colour or gilding, if desired.
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 or improved advertising device a penholder, pencil, or other like
article, stamped or otherwise marked with advertisements on its various sides,
or over the major part of its exterior.

I, FREDERICK GODDARD, of Traffic Street, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
These bars are constructed of steel or other suitable metal and may be drawn or
otherwise constructed to any suitable hollow section preferably deep and narrow with
the broader part to the top by which means the bars may be made thin and a large
quantity of air can pass through them and be conveyed to the hollow bridge thus
producing more complete combustion. The bridge is perforated to allow the passage
of the air.
The strong current of air drawn through each bar has a better chance of keeping it
cool as the air space can be made much larger in proportion to the size of the bar
than in those hitherto constructed.
The bars are made the full length of the furnace and rest on bearers bolted together,
thus forming a framing. By this means the bearers do not have to be secured to the
boiler but can be sent complete in sets ready for fixing.

Improvements in Fire Bars.
I, FREDERICK GODDARD of Traffic Street Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, 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
The Bars are made of steel or other suitable ductile metal and may be rolled pressed
or drawn to any suitable section they are made in two parts the bottom part being
made of either steel or other suitable material pressed rolled or drawn into a suitable
form preferably that shewn in Figure 1, with loose movable tops made of either cast
iron wrought iron steel fireclay or any other material best calculated to withstand the
direct action of the fire. By this method of manufacture great extra strength is
secured with the minimum amount of obstruction to the air supply required for
combustion at the same time giving a very large space for inlet of cold air to be
carried through to the hollow bridge for smoke consuming and fuel saving purposes
in addition to which the loose tops which are the only parts subject to being damaged
by the action of the fire can be replaced without interfering with the lower and most
costly part of the bars.
Figures 2 and 3 shew the mode of fixing the bars in the boiler furnace.
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 Improved form of making a hollow fire bar with loose tops which can be
renewed from time to time without interfering with the bottom part which is a
fixture.
(2) An Improved mode of fixing them in connection with the hollow bridge for
conveying the heated air through the bars so as to burn the smoke and at the same
time effect a considerable saving of fnel.

page_text: I, FRANZ ALBIN MICHAEL of St Petersburg in the Empire of Russia, General
Merchant & 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 improved union differs from those hitherto used both by simplicity of
construction and manner of manufacture and also by the easy and simple manner
of its application. It has neither screw threads, springs, hooks, nor other parts,
which are subject to injuries and could render the joint inapplicable.
The peculiarity of its construction allows it to be produced in rough casting
from any suitable material, as for instance brass, cast iron etc, and is ready for use
if required without further working.
Referring to the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is an end view of one portion of
the union. Fig. 2 a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 a longitudinal view of the
second part of the union and Fig. 4 an end view of the last.
The hose union consists of the two pieces a¹ and a³, the former being provided
with a coupling box or cap b¹ for receiving the second hose piece a³. On the inner
circumference of this coupling box b¹ are formed two projecting shoulders b² which
correspond to the recesses g₁ between the flanges or tongues g formed round the
piece a². The rear sides of these tongues form spiral guiding planes.
To connect the two pieces a¹ and a³, the latter is introduced into the coupling
box b¹ so that the shoulders 62 pass through the recesses g¹. One of the parts a¹ a²
is then turned slightly to the right so that the shoulders 62 slide on the slanted
planes of the tongues g until the front lip of the piece a² is pressed fast against
the washer c in the coupling box 6¹ and a secure closing is thereby produced.
To unfasten the coupling the two pieces are turned in the opposite direction
until the shoulders 62 slide out of the recesses g¹.
By the shoulders 62 being arranged inside the coupling box b¹ the washer c
contained therein is prevented from accidentally falling out.

page_text: 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 :-
A hose joint or union consisting of the part a¹ with coupling box 61 carrying
two inwardly projecting shoulders 6 and the part a³, which is provided with
tongues g having between them recesses g¹ and provided on their rear side with
helical planes combined substantially as illustrated and described and for the
purpose set forth.

FRANK ARTHUR MORGAN Gentleman, Herberts' Lodge, Bishopsione, Swansea,
South Wales, at present residing in Peking, China, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to Improvements in Casement Fasteners, whereby the
casement is secured to the frame by a screw grip.
It may also be applied to other purposes.
In carrying out my Invention I proceed mainly as follows.
On a plate which I fix to a casement I form two lugs, between these two lugs
I form a joint with one end of a screw. On the other part of the screw I place a
thumb nut. On one side of this thumb nut, I form a Boss.
On the Casement frame I fix a sloited plate.
The slotted plate is jointed so that it can be folded like an ordinary butt-hinge.
On each side of the slot I form a-recess.
The action of this fastener is such that when closing the casement, the jointed screw
of the plate which is fixed on the Casement, is brought into the slot of the plate that is
fixed on the Casement frame.
The Thumb nut is then turned, causing its boss to enter into the recess of the
lotted plate, thus locking the Casement, at the same time drawing the casement
irmly to its fraine.

Improvements in the Manufacture of German Silver.
I, EDWARD COTTAM of Sutton in the County of Surrey, 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:
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of German 5
silver.
In the manufacture of German silver I employ copper which has been previously
heated to a high heat with sand and carbon.
The temperature I prefer to employ is just short of the melting point of the copper
but a somewhat lower temperature produces more or less result. I prefer to perform
the operation of heating in a covered crucible, for from 3 to 6 hours. I use the sand
and charcoal in about equal quantities, their proportion to the copper is immaterial so
long as there is sufficient to thoroughly cover the pieces under treatment. The copper
I usually employ is in the form of shot about an of an inch in diameter but larger
or smaller pieces may be used the length of time it is heated being suitably varied.
I also melt together copper and nickel with the aid of borax as a flux. Equal
quantities of copper and nickel are suitable.
I then remelt this nickel-copper together with silicated copper prepared as above
stated and also with copper, iron, oxide of cobalt and powdered charcoal. When
these materials are melted I add brass and then (after the pot has been removed from
the furnace and just before pouring) I sometimes add a small proportion of tin.
The following proportione neadrea road woulda.

page_text: I do not however in any way limit myself to these proportions copper prepared as
described being applicable in like manner to the production of other German silver
alloys and silicated copper prepared by other processes may also be used in a similar
manner and some of the ingredients may be omitted.

1 CHARLES ROBERTS, of Westgate, Cleckheaton, in the County of York, Card Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct a perfect and effective card clothing
which will not absorb oil, and which is preferably even on its surface and of one
uniform thickness.
I construct my card clothing with the back (preferably) of cotton cloth and the face
of woollen cloth cemented together and then stuffed or worked up with a mixture
composed of glue, boiled oil (preferably linseed) and ochre which have been previously
boiled together, and which renders the cloth perfectly impervious to oil, and also
assists in preserving both the card iceth and the woollen face of the cloth.

page_text: I CHARLES ROBERTS of Westgate, Cleckheaton in the County of York, Card Maker
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 construct a perfect and effective card clothing which
will not absorb oil, and which is perfectly even on its surface, and of one uniform
thickness.
I construct my card clothing with the back (preferably) of cotton cloth and the face
of woollen cloth cemented together with any suitable cement, and then stuffed or
worked up with a mixture composed of glue, boiled oil (preferably inseed) and
ochre, preferably in the following proportion, namely glue seven pounds, boiled
linseed oil six pounds, ochre five pounds, and the rest water according to the strength
required, which varies with the quality of the cloth; these ingredients having previously
been foiled together, the cloth is worked up or stuffed with this composition, which
renders it perfectly impervious to oil, and also assists in preserving both the card
teeth, and the woollen face of the cloth. This invention is applicable for the foundations
of all classes of card teeth for working any fibres.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that I do not
confine myself to the proportions of the component parts of the ingredients used in
the composition, nor to the ingredients themselves, as other ingredients of a similar
mature might be used, though perhaps not with such effect, but I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The use and employment of cloth foundations for card clothing which have been
previously staffed for the purposes above described.
2. The composition (or its equivalent) for stuffing the foundations of card clothing
as and for the purposes shewn and described.

Improvements Connected with Water Supply Cocks.
I, GEORGE COOPER of 31 James Street Mina Road, Baptist Miles in the City and
County of Bristol, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS CONNECTED WITH WATER SUPPLY COCKS to be as follows:-
"
I fit with, or screw into a screw boss or into the end of a pipe a valve provided
with a valve-spindle and guide. The action of my said invention may be thus described
Upon partially screwing a tap or cock any required distance into a screw-boss or
pipe fitted with my improvement the shoulders of the guide bear upon the end of the
tap or cock upon completing the insertion of the tap or cock the valve-spindle is
pushed inwards and the valve gradually opened in proportion as the tap or cock is
screwed in; by reversing this operation the valve, having the pressure of water upon
it, follows the tap or cock as it is unscrewed and becomes fully and automatically
closed while there still remains a sufficient length of the shank of the tap or cock
within the screw-boss or pipe to prevent any waste of water even though the valve
had been fully open.
I particularly claim for this my said invention the following.
1st. A stop valve in screw bosses with a valve spindle and guide the valve of which
is opened or closed by the action of a tap or cock being screwed in or out of the
screw boss.
:
2nd. The provision of a simple and effectual regulator by which supply can be
reduced or increased to the greatest exactness in precise proportion as the tap or cock
is screwed into or out of the screw-boss or pipe..
n
3rd. In Factories or other establishments where a number of taps or cockstare in
use, one or more of them can be immediately removed for any requisite repair
independently of any stop cock from the main and without interfering with the supply
from the other taps or cocks as each one is thus supplied with its own stop-valve.

be fastened with its back to the purse. This pocket-book can be opened without
necessitating the opening of the purse and the purse can be used without opening
the pocket-book n. If, however, it is intended to open the purse to its full extent
and so to form a kind of paying desk Fig. 3 the pocket-book and the purse have
to be opened and the position shown in Fig. 1 goes over into that shewn in Fig. 3.
The sideparts of the purse 8, 8, Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 contain between the outher
leather and the lining of the purse some triangular stiffenings k Fig. 4 of card-
board or any other suitable material. By pressing slightly upon the pocket-book n
the purse can be partly closed by means of these specially constructed sides and
brought back into the position shewn in Fig. 1.
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 construction and combination of a purse made of one piece of leather
with a pocket-book n in such a manner that by opening the pocketbook and the

page_text: purse a large paying-desk s is formed, substantially as hereinbefore described and
shewn in Fig. 3 on the drawings.
