An Improved Oil Wave-subduer.
We, NICOLAI PEDERSEN and PETER HANNIBAL HOEG both of Drammen in
the Kingdom of Norway, Manufacturers, 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 an improved oil wave-subduer which can be made
of a metal capable of resisting for a long time the influence of the water and is so
constructed as to be very economical in the use of oil, the oil being discharged
under the surface of the sea and consequently prevented from being blown out over
the ship.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in elevation and partial section.
Fig. 2 is a plan-view of the same.
The reservoir u can be conical, as shown on the drawing and have the one side
flat owing to which disposition the waves cannot get a strong hold of the apparatus,
when the flat side is secured firmly to the ship.
The eyes and 2 placed on the reservoir a serve for suspending the apparatus
while the eyes c¹ and c², c³ and c' serve for attaching the apparatus to the side of the
vessel or within the bulwarks.
The reservoir a is provided at the top with a screw-lid d for filling-in the oil and
below with a screw-opening e which serves for fastening the hose f to the reservoir.
The hose is made of indiarubber or corrugated metal and is besides provided
with screw-openings g to which a short pipe is secured, which has a number of
discharge apertures for the oil. These apertures can be opened or closed by
means of the casing i surrounding the pipe thus regulating the discharge of oil.
To allow the casing i to be so adjusted as to open any desired number of holes, it is
provided with a groovej having angular notches k which correspond with the holes
of pipe hand can be made to engage with a stationary pin to prevent displacement.
The ball m secured to pipe h serves to keep the regulator under the surface of
the sea.
When the vessel is scudding the hose is detached, pipe h screwed direct on the
reservoir, and the whole apparatus taken in tow.
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 :
An oil-wave-subduer with reservoir and outlet-regulator, both parts mutually
connected either directly or by an interjacent hose substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.

Engineers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A novel method of ascertaining the number of days included in any given period;
for instance from January 1 to April 4 is ascertained by adjusting the scale which
revolves within or upon another circular indicator, as shown in drawing, and the total
is at once seen. Also from any given day in any given month to any given day in any
other given month, thus obviating the necessity of counting or multiplying the number
of days. The central broad line in drawing will, when cut through, separate the
inner tabular scale from the outer and thus at the arrow % will be found the

JAMES BEATH NICHOLSON (Applicant) of Messrs. Waygood & Co. Engineers
Falmouth Road London S.E. 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 is a simple means of calculating the number of days of any given
number of months on bills drawn without the trouble of mental calculation. The
drawing furnished with Provisional Specification shows a part of the circle in which
the days of the year, 365 in number, are divided and shown in the tabular circle
outside of the broad black line. On the inner side is also a tabular form divided
into 12 months, each month also being subdivided into its respective days the space
allotted to each day is precisely the same in both cases. The central broad line
will be cut through so as to separate the two spheres the inner one will revolve
within the outer and by this means the moment any required date is turned to the
arrow Z the answer will be given on the outer indicator to the date of maturity,
of course it is allowed that the figures may be reversed that is to say the figurings
on the outer indicator may be placed on the inner, and those again on the inner
transposed on the outer according to convenience.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what
I claim is the following novel features, viz.,
An interest calculating table of mechanical form, or by means of revolving disks
which can be turned to answer as an instantaneous day reckoner or interest
calculator.

Electro-Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In the production of caustic soda by electrolysis the caustic solution formed con-
tains a certain amount of sodium chloride.
The object of my invention is to eliminate this sodium chloride. This I
accomplish by transferring the caustic alkaline liquor from the electrolytic vessels
to evaporating pans in which the liquor is concentrated by evaporation until the
sodium chloride is precipitated and the caustic soda only remains in solution.
If, however, the caustic soda is required in the solid form, I continue the
evaporation to a further stage until the residual liquor becomes so concentrated as
to solidify on cooling when packed in the usual manner.

I, HERMANN HARTUNG, of Düsseldorf, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German

a very
The object of this invention is to construct valves for boilers having
simple arrangement to permit a complete and easy accessible clearance in their main
passages, without having to take the valve off or even without having to open it to
the open air nor allowing the escape of steam in any way. The mode of cleaning
valves hitherto in use was the following:
The spindle of the valve was bored right through, through which hole a thin
piece of wire was driven, thereby scratching off the scales of the valve-passage.
Now this was found in practice to be very deficient. The diameter of the wire was
naturally a very small one and therefore could not take as much scales away as was
desirable. Also even though the wire might have a very fair fit to the bore,
yet never would it fit so well as not to allow some blowing off of steam and
the man thus scorching his hand. From this reason it was preferred to clean
the valve before getting up steam or before firing. However this could only
be done in very few places, most boilers having to work day and night without
interruption.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying draw-
ings, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the several views and
in which:
Fig. 1 is a valve for gauge-glasses having on its spindles a prolongation p.
The passage g is bored to gauge to fit to the spindle-clongation p. The latter is
made somewhat longer than the valve passage, so as to allow the front thereof to pass
right through and back. While the spindle is turned the elongation thereof cnters
the passage and works its way through it, thereby driving every scale or anything
that might pass its way irresistibly before it thus cleaning the passage in a most
efficient manner, without giving any annoyance whatsoever, neither scorching the
men, nor causing the slightest delay.
Fig. 2 shows the same arrangement applied to a steam cock.
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 improvement in steam-valves consisting of the prolongation (p) of the
spindle (s) in combination with the steam_naszowa (a) bound i

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cotton Cords and similar Ribbed
Pile Fabrics,
I, ANTHONY CLEGG of the Moorside Works Bury in the County of Lancaster,
Weaving Manager, 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 the manufacture of cotton cords and other similar ribbed
pile fabrics.
According to these improvements I employ in the manufacture of the ribbed
pile fabric, four dents of the reed (instead of three as is usual) for each rib of
the cloth.
The binding picks are woven as calico and as twill alternately; the calico picks
being employed to bind the face and the twill picks to bind the back.
The use of four dents of the reed for each rib produces a much fuller cord with
the same quality and counts of weft, whilst the alternation of the twill and of the
calico binding picks produces an attractive cockled or curly effect which is greatly
desired with this class of goods.
In order that my invention may more easily be understood and carried into
practical effect I have appended hereto three diagrams which illustrate fully and
without the necessity for further description in what manner I manufacture the
fabrics according to these improvements.
In the first and second diagrams the cloth is woven with seven shafts or healds;
sixteen ends to the gait over; and twelve picks to the round. In the third diagram
eight shafts or healds are required with twelve ends to the gait over and twelve
picks to the round.
In the first diagram, the binding picks intersect the 1st, 2nd, 9th, and 10th
warp threads, forming a plain weave binding the face, and the intermediate warp
ends to form a broken twill binding the back.
In the second diagram there is a similar arrangement, but a straight twill is formed.
In the third diagrain, the binding picks intersect the 1st, 2nd, 7th, and 8th warp
threads to form a plain (or calico) weave binding the face, and the intermediate
threads to form a straight twill binding the back.

An Improved Needle for Sewing Leather.
I, ANTON WYWIOLEK, of 6, Bahnstrasse, Biala, Galicia, in the Empire of
Austria, 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 :-
:-
My invention relates to a needle for sewing leather, for example leather belts
with leather strips, by which this kind of work is greatly facilitated.
This needle consists of a ferrule B and a small spring clamp A.
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section on the line -1 of Figure 2 and
Figure 2 a side view of the clamp between the shanks of which the end of the
leather strip is put. After this has been effected, the ferrule B pointed in front
and suitably hollowed out at the rear is slid upon the closed end of this spring
clamp.
Figure 3 shows a side view and
Figure 4 a longitudinal section of this ferrule.
In this position, which is represented in Figure 5 in longitudinal section, the end
of the leather strip is held by means of the ferrule B firmly between the shanks of
the spring clamp A so that, when the ferrule is pushed with its point through the
hole previously pierced in the article to be sewed, the leather strip may be pulled
through this hole by the ferrule without liability to the strip leaving the needle.
As the ferrule B and the part of the spring clamp protruding from it are
smooth and rigid and the ferrule is moreover pointed this needle passes much
more easily through a previously pierced hole than the end of the leather
strip alone, so that the sewing is effected with much greater facility and
rapidity.
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 needle for sewing leather with leather strips consisting of a spring clamp A
between the shanks of which the end of the strip is put, and a ferrule B which
is slid upon the said spring clamp in order to cause the latter to grip the strip and
which is pointed in front for the purpose of facilitating its insertion into previously
pierced holes.

a suitable size for threading the laces B through before tying beneath the saddle.
This gives a grip-adjustment to a nicety without permitting the lace ends to slip
or loosen. It may be adapted also for securing boot and shoe laces in wear or
similar purposes.
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:
and plate for holding or adiusting laces threaded therein.

Millwright 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 design is a funnel for filling lamps, barrels, bottles or any
vessel requiring to be filled & not overflowed. Bis a cone firmly fixed to the
bottom of A, & within is a float C attached to a disc D, by wire and lays loose
whithin the cone, the float stamped out in fluted form so as to freely pass the air
upwards, permitting a freer flow of liquid into lamp, when liquid rises in lamp or
vessel up to float, C it raises D (disc) thus indicating lamp full.
Slots marked E E E are outlets from funnel into vessel. Flanges or rings
marked prevent funnel from sinking to low through larger holes thus preventing
inacurate filling and may be used for regulating the quantity.
The straight outlett of the funnel marked G can be made any length to suit
various heights, or, can be halved or telescoped to suit desired heights of liquids in
vessel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
