APPLICATION AND USE OF CARBON IN THE COMPRESSION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE
Year: 1886

page_text: GEORGE HENRY LEANE 21 Queen Annes Gate Westminster S.W. Civil Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE APPLICATION AND USE OF
CARBON IN THE COMPRESSION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE, 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 the application, and use of carbon, in the compression of
sewage sludge. The carbon employed being preferably of a porous nature, such as
is manufactured from Kimmeridge shale.
I use carbon of the description specified in a more or less finely divided state, to
consolidate sewage sludge, having found by careful experiment, that porous, or
earthy carbon has the property of absorbing a large portion of the nitrogenous, and
other valuable manurial properties, now driven off, destroyed or rendered inert, by
the use of lime as commonly practised.
Hitherto it has been deemed impossible to efficiently, and thoroughly compress
sewage sludge, in a convenient length of time without the use of lime. I have
however found, that if carbon containing the absorbent properties stated be mixed
with water and introduced into the receiver of the press employed for compressing
sewage sludge in the proper quantities, and be then forced through the press, in the
manner well understood, a cake, or slab, will be produced, containing a large
proportion of the nitrogenous and other products, of great manurial value to
agriculturalists, horticulturalists, and others."
The quantity of carbon employed varies with the composition, and the consistency
of the sludge under treatment, but I have found 2 to 4 cwts of carbon sufficient
to treat 1 ton of compressed sludge, and that if the carbon be finely divided less
per ton is required with any given quality of sludge. I do not however bind myself
[Price Adl

page_text: to the quantities stated, for since the character of sewage varies widely, the pro-
portions of carbon must be so varied as to attain the desired end.
Having now described my invention I declare that I claim;
The application, and use of carbon in the treatment, compression, and solidifi-
cation without the use of lime, of sewage sludge; in such a manner, as that
manurial products of said sludge are retained, substantially as herein set forth, and
in the way and manner described.

follows:
--
This invention is designed for the printing of the strips of paper used to transfer
the pattern to the earthenware china &c.
Hitherto the rollers employed have been large in diameter causing enormous
expense in the engraving but by my invention I reduce the rolls to the smallest
practicable diameter. The ordinary rollers consist of a spindle or mandril with a

Improvements in Printing Rollers.
I, WILLIAM HALES TURNER of Chell Lodge, Tunstall in the County of Stafford,
Earthenware 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 is designed for the printing of the strips of paper used to transfer
the pattern to the earthenware, china &c.
Hitherto the rollers omployed have been large in diameter causing enormous
expense in the engraving but by my invention I reduce the rolls to the smallest
practicable diameter. The ordinary rollers consist of a spindle or mandril with a
copper or steel face, my improved rollers consist of the mandril only which I make
of the proper metal and engrave upon the mandril itself.
The accompanying drawing is a section of a mandril made according to this
invention in this case it is made hollow so that it may be heated by steam or hot
air. A is the mandril a to a representing the engraved face or periphery upon
which the design is engraved embossed or otherwise presented; B are the bearings
and the inlet and outlet pipes for the steam. If desired this mandril can be made
solid and of such shape, material and dimensions as the work in hand may require.
It is convenient to make the printing portion of larger diameter than the bearings
as shown in the drawing, but so long as the oil of the bearings is kept from the
printing face the diametrical proportion between the bearings and the printing face is
immaterial and the whole mandril may be of one diameter.
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 printing mandril substantially as described.

page_text: I, HENRY MATHEY, residing at No. 101, Wall Street, in the City of New York,
in the County of New York, and State of New York, in the United States of
America, 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:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of cement from argillaceous lime stone.
Heretofore in the treatment of such stone in revolving kiln it has been found that
by reason of deficiency in alumina and iron, the resultant cement was of an
inferior quality. Again when such stone is burned with no excess of oxygen the
cement is naturally of light color. I find also that the addition of alumina and
iron in the form of clay to the stone yields a better stone than when the natural
rock alone is used. Therefore in the process now to be described I will burn the
stone properly mixed with clay with a diminished amount of oxygen or with just
enough oxygen to promote combustion.
2nd. After burning I will add a metallic oxide (burnt by itself alone in a
separate furnace) to the stone and clay.
3rd. Finally pulverize these materials together.
I first take the natural cement rock and crush it to a suitable degree of fineness;
to this I add crushed clay before burning. I then feed this material into a
revolving furnace.
Next I take a metallic ore such as iron and roast it in a reverberatory furnace
(or other suitable apparatus) for the transformation of the iron into an oxide, as
set forth in an application filed of even date with this. This is allowed to cool
gradually and protected from the air during the cooling process. This oxide is then
added to the mixture of clay & stone as above mentioned, & these elements, stone,
clay and oxide of iron are all ground together the elements are thus thoroughly
mixed together. The proportions of clay and oxide of iron may be varied as
circumstances require.

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:-
The process of manufacturing cement which consists in first crushing the natural
cement stone to a suitable degree of fineness, then thoroughly mixing crushed clay
with the stone and burning these elements together in a state of agitation and
dissemination; next adding, after burning, a pulverized metallic ore roasted
separately to form an oxide and finally pulverizing the stone, clay and oxide
together.
IMPROVEMENTS IN BED-PANS
Year: 1886

page_text: I, HERMAN HAERTEL of Breslau in the German Empire, manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BED-PANS 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 bed-pans for patients and the object of my improvements
is the simultaneous and sure catching-up of both urine and excrement in the bed-pan.
The bed-pan commonly used as yet have to be shoved under the patient when the
latter is in a recumbent position but in general they do not catch up the urine whether
they be used by men or women. For that reason an urine-bottle with an opening of a
suitable shape for the genitals is given to the patients.
It occasions much trouble to give the patients both bed-pan and urine-bottle at the
same time and in many cases it is even impossible, but the patient is obliged to
discharge both alvine excrement and urine simultaneously and for this reason bed-pan
and urine bottle are combined in this new construction.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. If represents a view from above and Fig. I a
horizontal section of the new bed-pan through the line M N.
In this bed-pan a gutter-shaped projection a is applied to the bed-pan or vessel & in
which the discharges are collected. This gutter-shaped projection a encompasses the
genitals completely and consequently catches up the urine and conducts it into the
vessel b.
The gutter-shaped projection a of this new bed-pan can likewise be used for
emptying the pan, owing to its vertical position to its vessel band because the
This
sectional shape of the projection a is more open than that of the vessel b.
projection a can either he made in one piece with the bed-pan or it can be made as a
seperate neck which is then fastened on to the pan in some suitable way.
When it has to be used, the bed-pan with its nose or gutter-shaped projection a is

page_text: shoven between the legs of the recumbent patient so as to be in an almost vertical
position to the belly of the patient. This enables the patient to discharge both
excrement and urine into the bed-pan without any hindrance. This new bed-pan
catches up both kinds of discharges in a safe and reliable way without inconveniencing
the patient in the least.
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 combination of a vertical gutter-shaped projection a with the vessel of a bed-
pan for the purpose of catching the urine when discharged and for leading it off into
the vessel and for emptying the latter especially as described.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
All leather polishes in use until now show many deficiencies. Pure mineral fats as
vaseline for instance are susceptible of very little absorption only, and thereby render
the leather dry and flawy. Mixtures of mineral fat as for instance heavy mineral oils
and wax show the same deficiency, whilst pure animal and vegetable fats are liable to
get rancid, and therefore are very noxious. The exact proportions for mixing all these
components so as to prevent them from getting rancid and yet obtain a uniform
absorption has never hitherto been found.
The mixture hereafter detailed is the result of the most careful experiments and
cannot be deviated from, without causing considerable prejudice to its quality. As
most important for securing the absorption of the mixture and the conserving of the
gloss of the leather, and nevertheless unknown until now, there is especially to he
mentioned a strong admixture of oil of turpentine. The colouring substances are

Improvements in Safes for Preserving Food.
I, WILLIAM KIRKLEY BIRKINSHAW, of 9 Madeley Street, Derby, in the County of
Derby, Mineral Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my said, invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFES FOR PRESERVING FOOD," 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 of a safe made of metal or other suitable material, to any
size or shape, constructed with a door covering the whole front and furnished with
india-rubber for the purpose of excluding the air when the said door shall be closed.
Fixed or fitted to the top of the said safe is a pump for extracting the air therefrom
having at the bottom a shut off valve for closing the connection between the pump and
the safe.
Attached to the said safe is a small tap to admit the air when required.
A Vacuum guage is affixed to the said safe in a desired position to indicate or show
when the air becomes exhausted from the safe.
By this invention I obtain a safe which is essentially a food preserver as all articles
of food which may have been placed therein are kept wholesome and good by the
extraction of the air.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Improvements in Helical or Coiled Springs.
Year: 1886

page_text: Improvements in Helical or Coiled Springs.
I, HERBERT JOHN ALLISON, of the firm of Allison Brothers, of 52 Chancery
Lane, London, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention, which has been communicated to me from abroad by
Jeremiah Goodwin Shaw, Gentleman, of the City of Biddeford, in the County of
York, and State of Maine, United States of America, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
Helical springs have heretofore, been formed of a solid bar, or rod of steel,
which added considerable unnecessary weight, trouble in coiling, and expense in
construction.
In hardening springs constructed in accordance with known methods, the temper
rarely extended but a slight distance within the surface of the metal, merely
forming a case hardened bar, whilst the inelasticity of the core was communicated
to the bar, causing inequalities of resiliency, and frequent breaking of the springs.
The object of my invention is to overcome these difficulties, and to construct
a spring with an equality of temper, greater resiliency, and at lessened cost of
manufacture.
And the invention consists of a helical, or coiled spring constructed of a seamless
tubular bar, or rod of steel, of cylindrical, square, triangular, polygoual, or other
desired shape in its transverse section, that may be best adapted for the purpose
intended.
In the accompanying drawings, which make a part of this specification,
Figure 1, represents a side elevation of the improved spring.
Figure 2, is a vertical section of the same.
Figure 3, is a plan view.
A, represents a helical, or coiled spring, which in the present instance is shown
as being constructed of a cylindrical seamless tubular bar, or rod. But bars that
are oval, triangular, square, polygonal, or other shape in their transverse section,
mev he found to be suitable for some nurnoSAS

page_text: The bar, or rod may be coiled into the connected helices to form a spring, by any
known mechanical device.
And as the seamless tubular bar permits of rapid heating, and of the entrance
of air upon its internal surface, a positive and even temper may be readily
obtained.
Besides the spring will have increased resiliency over the solid rod, on account
of its equal temper, and with a much lessened tendency to fracture.
An equal amount of metal in a seamless tubular rod, or bar formed into a spring,
to that of a solid bar coiled in like manner, will withstand much greater strain and
pressure, and produce a more active spring.
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 helical spring formed of a seamless metallic tube, of any shape in its transverse
section, substantially as herein shown and described.

page_text: I, FRANZ BORSODI of Magyar Bánhegyes, Hungary, Doctor of Medicine, 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 apparatus as represented by the accompanying drawings, consists of:
1. A vulcanised india rubber plate slightly curved in shape and having blunted
corners as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. This plate is provided at its lower part
with a small projection, the lower edge of which is slightly concave and on both
sides furnished with a recess, into which are introduced the ends of a ring (of silver
or other suitable metal).
On the inside of the plate is arranged a net work of metal wire having contact
with the above-mentioned metal ring. The two upper corners of the plate are
perforated, and through these holes is passed a silk cord, by means of which the
plate is supported in the proper position.
A second part of the apparatus is a hollow ring of elastic rubber as in Fig. 6 or
in place of this ring a similar ring as in Fig. 7 provided with a peculiar closing
device consisting of two parts, the one tonguing into the other and held by
a catch.
Lastly a supporting plate of vulcanised rubber as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
This plate has a straight horizontal part and a vertical broader part bent downward.
The lower surface of the horizontal part is smooth and convex, the upper surface
slightly concave and covered with a soft layer of rubber. On the under side of the
upper arm of the plate is a groove adapted to receive one of the above described
rubber rings. The front side of the vertical broader depending part has a slightly
convex surface the rear side a slightly concave surface.
These various parts are employed in the following manner:
The plate Fig. 1 (sub 1) is hung so as to rest on the pit of the stomach the metal
ring surrounding the base of the scrotum.
The friction of the plate against the hair produces a constant though feeble
current, which is conducted by the wire net work to the metal ring. The plate

page_text: shown in Fig. 4 supports the penis which rests thereon and is held in place by
either of the rings shown in Figs. 6 and 7.'
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
An electro mechanical apparatus for curing impotence in males consisting in the
combination of a vulcanised rubber plate having a metallic net work and ring as
shown in Fig. 1 an expansible hollow ring of elastic rubber with or without the
fastening device as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 and the supporting plate as shown
in Figs. 4 and 5, substantially as described and illustrated and for the purpose
set forth.

I LEONARD GEORGE CROWLE, of 12 Camberwell Grove, London, wholesale draper
and stay-maker, 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:-
The object of this invention is an improved construction of corset which will give a
lengthened appearance to the figure, avoid rucks when wearer bends, and support the
abdomen, these results I obtain by attaching to the lower part of the corset an elastic
belt united round the body by lacing or other suitable fastener. I am aware that it
has been proposed to attach a belt to the lower part of a corset made of a non-elastic
material, but this will not give any of the advantages I have found a belt of an
elastic material will give. The belt is made in two pieces, one piece being sewn
on to the bottom of each half of the corset and preferably united round the body
by lacing back and front.
The accompanying drawing represents a corset and belt made according to my
invention, the part marked A being the elastic belt.

An Improvement Applied to Apparatus Used in the Fire Polishing
of Glassware.
I, JOHN GEORGE SOWERBY, of the Ellison Glassworks, Gateshead on Tyne in the
County of Durham, Glass Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improvement applied to the Snap or spring used to hold
Glassware while being fire polished, and it consists in covering the parts of such snap
or spring which come in contact with the glassware, with asbestos.
Amongst the advantages of my improved snap or spring are:-that it may be
worked cold without danger of cracking or breaking the glass; that it will enable the
workman to hold articles of Glassware, such as tumblers etc, which it is impossible to
hold with the ordinary snap or spring, the asbestos forming a pad for the glassware
to rest against, and not allowing it to slip as it does when resting against the iron of
the snaps or springs in ordinary use; it also saves the extra cost of "Hattening"-(that
is to say polishing) the bottom of tumblers; there being no rough bottom to be
flattened as is the case in tumblers made by the present method.
For the Applicant,
W. E. GEDGE,
Agent.

page_text: The pads of asbestos C, E, form a Cushion for the tumbler B, interposing between it,
and the metal of D and F preventing its slipping, as it does when resting against the
metal as in ordinary snaps, and accomplishing the objects above specified.
I have not deemed it necessary to describe the Construction and action of the
Snap" as it differs from those in ordinary use only by the addition of the pads or
coverings C, B.
The dimensions of the asbestos coverings or pads, their number and their shape, will
necessarily be dependent upon the formation of the "Snap 16
or Spring," Box, or
other appliance used, and the size and shape of the article which it is to hold during
the fire polishing thereof.

page_text: I attach the asbestos coverings or pads to the Snap, or other analogous apparatus,
with copper wire, or in any convenient manner.
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 I do not claim broadly
the interposition of pads or coverings of any material between the article to be fire
polished and the metal of the apparatus holding it, but that what I do claim is :-
22
In a :: snap ог spring or analogous apparatus for holding glassware while
being fire polished, the Combination of pads or coverings of Asbestos with those parts
of the apparatus which would otherwise come in contact with the article to be fire
polished during the operation, substantially as described for the purposes specified.

I claim is
1. That my jigger by its brightness attracts fish more quickly than any other,
as proved by experiment.
2. The glass being protected is not liable to be broken.
3. The glass is not dulled by the action of water as metals are.
4. It attracts fish within reach of hooks by showing their reflection in glass.
I do hereby declare that I have not taken out a patent in any other country for
this my invention.
