Improved Means for Securing Pneumatic and other Flexible Tyres
to the Rims of Wheels.
I RICHARD RUSSELL GUBBINS of 62 Woolwich Road, Belvedere, Kent,
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 improvements in pneumatic tyres for vehicles and the
object of my improvement is to provide a simple, cheap and efficient mode of
removing the outer cover from the wheel rim in order to gain access to the air tube,
for removal or repairs.
I attain my object by the means shown in the accompanying drawing in
which
Figs. 1 and 3 are longitudinal sections of a pneumatic tyre showing the cover
fastened in my improved manner to a wheel rim.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same looking from the centre of the wheel.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the same tyre and
Fig. 5 is an elevation and plan of my improved flexible cotter.
Similar letters have reference to similar parts in the different views.
One method of carrying out my invention by "crocheting" the edges of the
rim, D, and cover, A, together, by passing loops of a cord, k, through the holes, h,
in the rim, D, and cover, A. Each loop, l, passes over its neighbour and makes a
chain stitch joining the edges of the rim and cover as shown in Fig. 1 and in plan
on the upper side of Fig. 2.
Instead of passing the loops, !, over each other, they may each be passed over a
peg, ¹, Fig. 3. The lower side of Fig. 2, shows this in plan. The pegs are
similar to the "hook eyelets" used by boot-makers, and may be set in the rim in
the same way that the others are set in leather, each loop, l, passes through the
hole, h, in one "hook eyelet " and can be slipped over the hook of the next one and
secured, as shown in the figs.
Another way is to employ a number of headed loops, or flexible cotters, l¹, Fig. 5,
instead of one long cord. The ends of the loop are made fast in a button like head
as shown. These are passed through the holes, h, in the same way as the loops of
cord before described, and the result is a fastening similar to chain stitch on one
side, but perfectly smooth on the other.
In the case of a solid tyre the cord or cotters may be set in during the manu-
facture of the tyre and appear as a number of loops on the outside, by which the
tyre may be secured to the rim without cement, and without any increase of
weight.
Having now described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by
Letters Patent.

"
That in place of having that part of the head of wooden golf clubs which is
called the "nose," and sometimes the "toe," rounded, as is usual, by my invention
this part of the club shall be squared, so as to be at right angles with the line of
the "face." The advantages of this are, first, that the outline of the squared
nose being at right angles to the line of the "face," and therefore parallel to
the line in which it is intended to send the ball, it is a great help to the eye of the
striker in getting the proper direction; and, secondly, that owing to the square
shape of the head (the "heel" being also somewhat more squared than in ordinary
clubs) it is possible to let in the lead in such a way that there shall be equal weight
behind the whole extent of the "face," so that the ball shall be less affected by
"heeling or "toeing."

Improvement in Golf Clubs.
I, HORATIO GORDON HUTCHINSON B.A. Oxon. The Lodge Silverdale East-
bourne 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 :-
"
"
Whereas all wooden headed golf clubs, as ordinarily made, have that part of the
head of the club which is sometimes called the " nose and sometimes the "toe
rounded or angular, by my invention the "nose" is cut square, so that its line runs
approximately at right angles to that part of the club which is known as the
"face" (the part with which the ball is struck). The advantage of this is that
when the club head is put up to the ball, preparatory to striking, the line of the
squared "nose is parallel with the line in which it is intended to send the ball-
thus giving a valuable guide to the eye, by shewing the exact angle at which the
club head should be laid to the ball, and by shewing the direction in which the club
head should be moving at the moment of striking.
65
"
This principle applicable to all wooden headed clubs, whether "drivers,"
spoons," "brasseys" putters," or what not. With "brasseys" the brass sole
will have to be squared at the "toe" to fit the shape of the club. A further
advantage of this form of club head is that greater depth of wood is thus given
behind the point of impact, especially towards the "toe
or nose" of the club,
thus giving greater driving power.
77
66
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 squaring of the " nose or "toe" of all wooden headed golf clubs, sub-
stantially as described.

Improvement connected with the Extraction of Metals from
their Ores.
I JAMES WARNE CHENHALL of Totnes, Devonshire, Civil, Mining and
Metallurgical 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 improvement relates to adding to the ore in addition to salt (chloride of
sodium) before roasting a sulphate of the metals contained therein or sulphuric acid
or any sulphate that will decompose when roasted or calcined with salt. I prefer
however to use sulphate of iron or sulphate of copper in cases where copper or
silver is present in the ore to be treated.
.
The sulphates are added in quantity from 1 to 10 per cent., more or less, to the
raw ore before grinding so as to secure these being well mixed. After grinding
the ore is calcined or roasted in a furnace from which the gases evolved are
conducted to an apparatus for condensation for after use in assisting the dissolving
out of sub-chlorides of the metals formed in the calcination. After calcination the
metals are leached or dissolved out of the calcined ore either with water or brine or
hyposulphate of soda or a combination of these.
Where large quantities of silver are present I prefer the use of brine for
leaching. The metals may be precipitated as well understood.
By the above described invention I have discovered that the calcining or
roasting, when a sulphate is present, is effected in much less time and that the
metal contents is much more soluble than when salt alone is used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
In the treatment of ores for the purpose of extracting metals therefrom, the
employment of a sulphate of the metals or other sulphate in conjunction with salt
mixed and ground with the ore previous to calcination as set forth.

An Improved Nail Trimmer.
I, MAX TREBBIN, of 5 Joachimstrasse, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, and
German Empire, Lockmaker do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
n 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 neat and practical device for trimming toe and finger
nails.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I now proceed to
describe the same reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the figures.
Figure 1 is an elevation.
Figure 2 is a part sectional view, indicating the action of the instrument when
used upon a finger nail.
Figure 3 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the front cutting part of the
instrument shewing the nail being cut.
When united, the parts A B C, form a cylindrical body with rounded ends which
can be easily carried in the waistcoat pocket.
When in use the part A serves as a handle, the part C serving as a protecting
cover.
The trimmer B made of the finest cast steel is carefully tempered and has a
longitudinal hole, loop or slot similar to that of a large darning needle the inner
width of which corresponds with the thickness of a toe or finger nail.
The furthest end of the longitudinal hole or slot from the handle is ground
hollow so that as shown in the enlarged sectional view, Figure 3, a sharp cutting
edge is produced at a. The cutting edge a' exists not only when the instrument is
new, but it is maintained by sharpening from the outside till the cutting side
coincides with the line.
The length of the hole is arranged so that the cutting of the fleshy parts near
the nail is absolutely prevented however careless the, person cutting the nails may
be. Assuming that the curved line y y forms the outer limit of a finger nail and
that is a chip formed during cutting the edge of the slot gives such a secure
guidance to the instrument that the cutting edge a is absolutely prevented from
entering too far into the nail.
inven-
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. An instrument for cutting toe and finger nails having a loop slot or hole the
inner front wall of which is formed with a cutting edge a a¹ the opposite end of the
said slot or hole being adapted to form a guide to prevent injury to the flesh by
careless use of the instrument.
2nd. The arrangement and construction of a nail trimmer substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

I SIGISMUND ROBENS of Bulak Cairo Egypt 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:-
The object of the present invention is to form a contrivance in which pens may
be inserted during use and after writing so that they may be readily found and the
adhering ink removed from them to secure their preservation. This contrivance
relieves the writer, even after repeated use of the troublesome cleaning or wiping
of the pen and entirely prevents the disagreeable soiling of the fingers.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the contrivance with a pen inserted therein.
Fig. 2 shows the contrivance in cross section.
Fig. 3 one of the peat (or turf) layers belonging to the apparatus and
Fig. 4 a layer of blotting paper also belonging thereto.
The apparatus known as the pen preserver (or protector) consists of a flat case a
whose open cover bis hinged at the beading e and secured to the case a by means
of a hasp or catch d.
In the case a is a layer of peat e which completely fills the said case and the
said layer is covered with a thick layer of blotting paper f. The latter is of the
finest English quality, perfectly free from fibres or hairs, and is held in position by
means of the cover b (Fig. 2.) so that the blotting paper fin the cover 6 is all that
is visible of the preserver.
The pen, after use, is pressed through the blotting pad into the peat layer
beneath (as shown in Fig. 1.).
The paper absorbs the adhering ink while the soft peat (or turf) cleans the pen.
Owing to this constant cleaning after use the pen is kept in good condition for a
long time, and no portion of the blotting paper is ever retained by the nib, the
writing thus being always clear.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven- .
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:-
:-
A pen preserver consisting of a case a of any suitable material filled with one of
the described peat layers e on which a blotting paper pad f is fixed and stretched
by means of the cover 6 of the case a in such a manner that the pen to be cleaned
may be pushed through the visible sheet of blotting paper fin the inside of the
cover right into the peat layer e, the whole arranged substantially as described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

A Process for the Preparation of a Material for Building or other
Purposes.
I, HENRY BIRKBECK of the firm of Tongue & Birkbeck, Chartered Patent
Agent of 34, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention (a communication to me from abroad by Hermann
Heise of Giebichenstein in the Empire of Germany, Builder) 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 a process for the preparation of a material or
mass which may be used for all kinds of building or other similar purposes.
The mass which I use is a mixture of three parts of lime cement or equivalent
building cement, one part of gypsum and two parts of well burnt and washed coke
the gypsum and the coke broken into small pieces.
To prepare this mixture the said cement is well triturated and mixed with water
and the coke with the pieces of gypsum are added thereto the whole being
thoroughly kneaded or ground until a thoroughly homogeneous mass is obtained.
With this mass blocks pieces or plates may be made by means of suitable
moulds or by casting and may be joined together in order to build walls
roofs etcetera.
To build whole walls or sections of walls at one operation a number of wooden
planks of suitable lengths are fixed to cross pieces separated from one another a
distance corresponding to the length of the wall (or section) required and the mass
prepared in the above described manner is poured between the planks.
A small quantity of alum may be added to the mass for the purpose of causing
it to harden better.
In addition to the easy mode of manufacture of this mass and its low cost of
production it is distinguished by its great durability, hardness and tenacity and its
fire-proof qualities.
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 process for the preparation of a material for building or other purposes
consisting in adding to a paste formed of lime cement or equivalent building
cement and water, pieces of gypsum and clean coke broken into small pieces either
with or without the addition of alum, the well mixed mass being used as it is or in
the form of plates, blocks or pieces of any desired shape size and thickness, substan-
tially in the manner and for the purposes herein before set forth.

Improvements in Fodder Cakes.
A communication from ALBERT WILHELM REHNSTRÖM, of Mälhammar, Rekarne,
in the Kingdom of Sweden, Dairy Engineer.
1, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 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 utilize the whey obtained in dairies after the
manufacture of cheese and to obtain therefrom a substantial, wholesome and
fattening food especially for calves, young cattle and animals to be fattened. In
carrying out this method the whey is concentrated by evaporation, after which the
more or less dry rest or whey substance is added to other ingredients, indicated
below, and formed into cakes or given some suitable form. This fodder will contain
a good deal of the easily digested, sugary constituents and salts contained in the
whey.
The fodder is prepared in the following manner and with the use of the
ingredients mentioned below. The whey is subjected to evaporation. The more
or less dried up substance is then mixed with any suitable kind of corn, as maize,
rice etc., either crushed or ground or with other similar ingredients, together with
crushed oil cake or the residue obtained in pressing vegetable oils. Besides the
remaining parts of pressed white beets, crushed roots, malt-residuum, dry pulverized
reindeer-moss may be used and further oil or crushed oil-seed may be added in
order to obtain a suitable quantity of fat in the fodder. A small percentage of
finely divided bone-powder may also be added to the mixture. The quantity of
whey substance in the mixture may evidently vary in a considerable degree
depending on whether the fodder is to be used as a milk producing or fattening
fodder or as a fodder for young cattle and on supply and price. The quantity
of the whey substance may be as much as about 50% of weight in the cakes
or more. The following proportions for the mixture may, by way of example, be
mentioned:

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved manufacture of fodder cakes substantially as specified.

the Nose.
I HENRY WILFRED COLLINS 52 Brondesbury Road London N.W. Bank Clerk
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 for an improvement in the method of supporting spectacles on
the nose, has for its objects (1) To support the weight of the spectacles on the
sides of the nose and thus avoid the indentation across the front of the nose, caused
by the bridge of the spectacles now in use. (2) To give to the spectacles, the
appearance so far as the adjustment on the nose is concerned-of the double eye-
glasses known as pince-nez and folders, whilst avoiding that pressure on the sides
of the nose which is inseparable from the use of glasses held in position by springs.
The invention consists of an arrangement by which the spectacles are supported
on the sides of the nose without the use of springs.
In the sheet of illustrative drawings accompanying this Specification,
Fig. 1 is constructed and arranged according to this invention and
Figures 2, 3 and 4 are similar views of slightly modified arrangements. The
two rims of the spectacles which hold the glasses, are connected by the bar A
(which does not rest on the nose) and the spectacles are supported on the nose by
the two rests B which are attached to the rims and rest one on either side of
the nose.
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
1. The method of supporting spectacles on the sides of the nose without the use
of springs, substantially as described.
2. The arrangement of the bar A and the rests B substantially as described
with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Lamp Chimneys.
I, SALOMON FALK, of 83, 85 & 87, Farringdon Road, in the County of
London, Lamp 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 :-
My invention relates to mica chimneys for lamps.
Hitherto mica chimneys have not been used upon lamps the chimneys of which
required to be bulged or enlarged at that part in proximity to the flame, for the
reason that no means had been devised whereby a chimney having such an enlarge-
ment could be produced.
The object of my invention is to construct a mica chimney having such a bulb or
enlargement, and to this end I make the base of the chimney of metal and connect
thereto the mica forming the bulb or enlargement, and upon the top of this mica I
place a metal cap to which the smaller part of the chimney is secured.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved chimney; and,
Figure 2 is a vertical section on the line, Figure 1.

and provided with a flange c. d is the mica forming the bulb or enlargement; the
mica being secured to the flange e of the base by means of fasteners such as
rivets e, e. is the cap which is advantageously made of nickel and secured to the
upper edge of the mica by suitable fastenings; the said cap having secured to its
upper part the small portion g of the chimney, which may be wholly or partially of
metal.
It is to be understood that the pieces of mica of which the chimney is composed
may be connected to each other and to the base a and cap in any suitable
manner.
As shewn in the drawing the edges of the mica which are to be connected to any
other part are protected by metal strips folded over their edges, as shewn at h, 1,
the fastenings for connecting these edges being passed through these metal strips
as at i, i.
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 :-
1. A mica lamp chimney having a bulb or enlargement and comprising a metal
base to which the mica forming the said bulb or enlargement is connected and a
metal cap forming the connection between the upper part of the bulb and the
smaller part of the chimney, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of mica lamp chimneys, substantially as hereinbefore
lescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

An Improved Axe.

An Improved Axe.
I WILLIAM WILSON HORN of the firm of Horn and Son of 151 Strand in the
County of Middlesex Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from Isaac M. Spencer of Osceola in the County of Stark
and State of Illinois United States of America Inventor) and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This my invention relates to an improved axe and the object of the invention is
to provide an axe with a bit on its upper edge as well as its front edge so that
there will be less friction in withdrawing the cutting-edge; and it consists in
providing an axe with a bit on the upper portion of the head of the axe in front
of its eye as will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the
claim.
:-
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this Specification
Fig. 1. is a side view of an axe constructed in accordance with my invention and
Fig. 2 a sectional view taken on the line a x in Fig. 1.
The head and eye of the axe are made in the usual manner and the front edge
of the said axe is provided with a bit B which forms the usual cutting edge.
The upper edge of the axe in front of the eye is extended as shewn and provided
with a bit or sharp edge C. These bits B & C meet to provide a sharp corner.
An axe thus constructed can be easily withdrawn from the wood in chopping, and
wood cutting is therefore rendered much easier. The construction is also advan-
tageous in dressing lumber or logs as the upper bit can be used in dressing or
cutting off small slivers much more expeditiously than with axes as usually made.
The bit C can also be used for cutting overhead in clearing branches and for other
purposes.
This invention may also be applied to double bitted axes.
I am aware that prior to my invention it has been proposed to provide an axe
with a concave cutting edge which has been extended around so that the front
portion of the head at its upper and lower edges would have a cutting edge thus
making an axe which could be reversed upon the handle and I do not claim such
construction as my invention.
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
An axehead having a poll and eye of ordinary construction and a bit C formed
on the upper portion of the head forward of the eye to extend above the same
and joining at the front with a bit B substantially as shewn and for the purpose
set forth.
