An Envelope or Package for Bottles, Jars, and the like.
I, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a
communication to me from abroad by Nilsen, Mathiesen & Co. of Frederikstad
Norway, Manufacturers and Exporters) 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 in an envelope or package made of shavings from wood
planing and applied to the packing of bottles jars and the like. Plane shavings have
heretofore been proposed to be used for making an envelope or package by sewing
the shavings together in layers, the envelope thus consisting of several layers of flat
shavings. But such envelopes do not satisfy all the requirements of a bottle
envelope. Apart from the circumstance that they are not durable, which however
is of less importance, they are not very suitable because they are not very elastic,
and hence neither fit well around the bottle nor in themselves form a soft covering
round the bottle.
According to this invention and to form an elastic covering for a bottle, the
shavings are made up into small rolls which are laid side by side as will be under-
stood from the accompanying drawing. The shaving rolls a are held together by
being woven in between the strings of which there may be more or less, but two
are generally sufficient. Tape or other suitable material may be used instead of
string. At the top the envelope is held together by a wire c tied around it.
If during the weaving care is taken as to a suitable tightness of the string around
the shaving rolls, the envelope thus made will obtain a high degree of expansibility,
by reason of the wave line like strings which when the envelope is expanded will
squeeze the rolls together. The envelope is besides also clastic in itself as each
roll is highly compressible. There is nothing specially to notice in the manufacture;
the shavings may most conveniently be rolled up and laid together during the
weaving by the man at the loom immediately before each shaving or roll is laid in.
In order that the envelope shall not be drawn together too much at the top or
neck end it is well to put it over a form when it is drawn together at the top.
These envelopes are very durable as they are hardly affected by wear.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion communicated to me and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare
that what I claim is :-
1. An envelope for bottles jars and the like consisting of plane shavings made
into rolls which are placed side by side and held together by weaving by means of
string or the like.
2. The bottle envelope shewn on the drawing.

Improvements in or connected with Velocipede and other
Wheel Tyres.
I, JULIUS OTTO FLIEGE, trading as Beisser and Fliege, of 40, Kastanienstrasse,
Chemnitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony and German Empire, Metal Workers, 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 to render velocipede and other wheel tyres,
proof against the cutting actions of stones, glass, nails, thorns, and other things
which at present are the cause of damage to such tyres, and in the case of
inflated tyres of the bursting or leaking of the air or other fluid contained in
such tyres.
To this end it has been proposed to provide the tyre or the inflated tube or other
vulnerable part of such tyre with a metallic armour plate or plates, of semi-circular
section, which prevent stones, glass, nails, thorns, and other sharp substances from
penetrating to such vulnerable part; but in practice it has been found that plates
of plain semi-circular section must be made of considerable thickness (about 4 of
an inch) in order to possess the necessary strength.
According to this invention 1 form the protecting plate with longitudinal
corrugations or flutings, as represented in the annexed drawings, wherein
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a protecting plate according to this invention,
and Figure 2 is a cross section of same, a designating the longitudinal corrugations.
By so forming the plate I am enabled to use metal of half the thickness above
mentioned while still obtaining the necessary strength and resistance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A protective plate for velocipede and other wheel tyres, provided with longi-
tudinal corrugations or flutings, substantially as and for the purpose herein described
with reference to the annexed drawing.

Improvements in Pocket Knives.
I, HEINRICH SCHICKLER, of Zell, near Esslengen, Wurtemburg, German
Empire, Artist, 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 pocket knives, and it has for its object to so construct
the knife, that its blade can be used as a pencil sharpener.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have here-
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
Fig. 1 is a side view of the knife and showing the blade in its closed position.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the knife, and showing the blade in its open position.
Fig. 3 is a cross section, on the line - Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line y-y, Fig. 2.
The invention mainly consists in making the handle with a cone a at its lower
end. The blade 6 of the knife is so arranged that, when it is in the closed position,
as shown at Fig. 1, it so lies in the slot e of the cone, that, when a pencil is
introduced into the lower end or base of the cone, and turned round, it will be cut.
by the blade of the knife, and sharpened in the same manner as with an ordinary
pencil sharpener.
The shavings pass out through the passage f(see Figs. 3 and 4), and, as a con-
sequence, the pencil can be freely and casily turned within the cone.
When the blade is in the open position, as shown at Fig. 2, it can be used
for cutting miscellaneous articles in the same manner as an ordinary penknife.
The improved pocket knife serves both as an ordinary penknife and as a pencil
sharpener.
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:-
A pocket knife, made substantially as hereinbefore described and shown, and
serving both as a knife and a pencil sharpener.

I, JAMES WATSON ANDERSON of Bryn y Mor Saltburn by the Sea Yorkshire
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 a new or improved tap for kitchen and other boilers and
has for its object to provide a device which will not become clogged or jammed
and will be ready at any time to relieve any extra pressure caused in any part of
the hot water pipes by frost or other causes.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is an external view and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of my improved tap.
Figs. 3 and 4 show respectively a view of the back and a view of the front of
the cover.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
My improved boiler tap consists of a hollow shell or casing a terminating at one
end with a screw threaded neck which is screwed into the boiler outlet and
secured or not therein by a suitable nut and provided with a central discharge
opening or outlet c and an internal valve seat against which bear the shoulders of
the valve d as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The other end of the shell a is screw
threaded as shown to receive the flanged cover g furnished with a central per-
foration through which passes the spindle f¹ of the screw threaded plug f fixed
within the internal tapped part of the shell a and provided with a central recess
wherein enters the stem of the valve da spiral spring being coiled upon a part of
this stem in such a manner that one of its ends bears against the body of the valve d
and the other against the inner end of the plug f. The end of the spindle f¹ is
preferably made of quadrangular form to receive a key whereby the plug can be
screwed and unscrewed in order to close or open the tap while the pin g' fixed to
the cover g enables the same to be turned off or unscrewed for cleaning purposes.
When the spindle f¹ is unscrewed the pressure of the water in front of the valve
will force the latter back sufficiently to allow of the water running out through
the outlet c the spring e regulating such flow of water under the action of the
plug f.
As my improvements are capable of some modification without departing from
the principle thereof I do not restrict myself to materials dimensions or to the
precise form or placement of the parts thereof.
Having now fully 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 improved tap for kitchen and other boilers arranged constructed and
operating substantially as herein described and shown and for the purpose set
forth.

CHARLES CROUCH of 133 Clifton Street, Finsbury Square, London, E.C.
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 improvements in purses and pocket books whereby the
purchaser of either of these articles becomes insured for a given sum against a
fatal accident upon a railway during a given period of time. My invention
consists in placing upon the interior of the purse or pocket book a notice either
embossed upon the leather or secured therein by any ordinary means setting forth
that the purchaser of this purse is insured against railway accidents in accordance
with a ticket which is given to him at the time of the purchase. This ticket is
filled in by the shopkeeper when the purse is sold and states the name of the
purchaser and the period for which the insurance is effected and the amount of the
policy and the date of same. A duplicate of this is made by the shopkeeper by
the usual carbon sheet and this duplicate is forwarded on to the office through
whom the insurance is effected. When the manufacturer or wholesaler sends out
purses or pocket books to the retailer he also sends a little book containing an equal
number of tickets with their duplicates and when the purses are sold these
duplicates are returned to the insuring office at regular periods in batches.
This invention is intended as a means to assist the sale of a certain class of
purses and pocket books and it is not proposed to increase the present price of such
purses or pocket books on account of the insurance effected by the purchase. The
conditions under which the insurance is effected will be plainly printed upon the
ticket given with the purchase. Should however this ticket be lost, the copy of
same being in the hands of the insuring company, the policy will be still in force.
After the time has expired for which the purchaser was insured by his purchase,
the name of such purchaser will be removed from the insuring company's
books.
Although my invention is capable of some modification, I wish it distinctly
understood that I only apply my invention to purses and pocket books and the
insurance is only effected against fatal accidents upon a railway.
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
Improvements in purses and pocket-books whereby the purchaser becomes
insured against fatal railway accidents for a given period of time in the manner
hereinbefore described in this Specification.

An Improved Obstetric Appliance.
I, JOHN FISHER LE PAGE of 17 The Crescent Salford in the County of
Lancaster, Doctor of Medicine do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
I construct a lever of such form as is easily held in the hand. The lever
terminates at one end in two claws and a short projecting arm. The two claws are
attached round the shafts of the obstetric forceps immediately above the lock, and
the projecting arm rests against the side of the lock and acts as the fulcrum of the
lever.
The advantage claimed for this my invention is that by means of it traction may
be made at any angle up to 90 degrees from the line of traction of the obstetric
forceps.

An Improved Obstetric Appliance.
I, JOHN FISHER LE PAGE of 17 The Crescent Salford Manchester, 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 :—
My invention has reference to obstetric forceps which as they are now made are
capable of effecting traction only in the direction of a line drawn from the blades
to the handle. The object of my invention is to overcome this limit to their action
by constructing a traction handle which will allow of traction being made in any
direction. For this purpose I construct a handle C which may be straight or
curved about 4 or 5 inches in length and ending at one extremity in two claws A
and a projection B by which it is attached to the lock of the forceps. The two
claws A fit round the shanks of the forceps. The projection B is about one inch
from the end and rests against the lock of the forceps. When in position the
traction handle C is at a right angle to the handle of the forceps and is rigid when
pressed downwards. If the traction handle is held in one hand and the handle of
the forceps in the other hand traction can be made in any direction.
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. In obstetric forceps forming an additional handle which shall be, when pressed
upon, in rigid connection with the forceps substantially as described.
2. In obstetric forceps forming an additional handle which is detachable and
which becomes attached by simply being placed in position substantially as
described.
3. In obstetric forceps constructing a handle in addition to the handle of the
forceps, by means of which traction on the blades of the instrument can be made in
any direction substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Bay Salt.
1, ALISTER MAC NAB of Cocanada, Madras Presidency, India, 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 :-
When salt is produced by the evaporation of sea water there is always mixed
with its crystals a percentage of other salts principally magnesium chloride which
being of a deliquescent character collects moisture rendering the salt damp and
heavy. My invention relates to means of removing this impurity to a large extent
from the salt, which I effect in the following manner. I place the damp salt in the
drum of a centrifugal machine having its outer wall of perforated metal or wire
gauze, which may be lined internally with porous fabric. While the drum is
rapidly revolving, I supply to it, if necessary, brine which is caused by the centri-
fugal force to filter through the salt and to pass out through the porous periphery
of the drum, carrying with it most of the magnesium chloride, which being more
soluble than the salt, is washed out by the brine and carries with it most of the
impurities without injury to the crystals. When the salt is very damp the addition
of brine in the centrifugal machine is not necessary.
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 herein described process for clearing bay salt from its deliquescent impurities
by passing brine through the salt while it is rapidly revolved in a centrifugal
machine.

Improvements in Slide or Tool Rests for Lathes, Planing Machines,
and the like.
I, HEINRICH ECKHARDT, Engineer, of Dortmund, in the Empire of Germany,
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 improvements in slide or tool rests for lathes, planing
machines, and the like has for its object to mechanically guide the cutting tool, or
tools, as it is fed by hand or otherwise so as to cut the article being worked to the
desired shape, as it is rotated or reciprocated past the cutting edge.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings :-
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a slide rest, suitable for turning flanged tyres for
railway vehicles, constructed according to this invention and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation and Fig. 3 is a plan of the same.
The top slides bb' are mounted on cross slides, themselves mounted on the base a.
The cross slides are traversed either towards or from each other, by means of the
right and left handed screw d the pitches of the two parts of the screw being
dependant on the work to be done by the tool carried by the corresponding top
slides. The tool on the top slide 6 is arranged to cut the part i to h of the wheel
whilst the tool on the top slide cuts the part k to h. The tool is forced to follow
the line by a simple fixed cam e guiding a pin f fixed to the movable socket of
the screw operating the top slide b, the movement of the slide to be effected by
this cam being small. In order to cause the tool to follow the line k h, a movable
cam el is provided, as the movement to be imparted to this slide is very consider-
able. A pin, fixed to the movable socket of the screw, takes into a race in the
cam e¹ which is rotated from the screw d by the toothed gearing z, ¹² and worm
gearing S, or by other suitable means such as a toothed rack fixed to the slide b
gearing with a pinion rigidly connected to the cam e¹.
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. A slide or tool rest provided with two top slides for holding the cutting tools
and guided one by means of a fixed cam where slight motions only have to be
effected and the other by means of a rotary cam operated from the feed motions
where considerable motions have to be effected, the whole substantially as described.
2. A slide or tool rest constructed substantially as described with reference to
the drawings.

Empire of Germany 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 consists in an apparatus by which an air blast may be supplied to
a boiler furnace or other furnace in a more efficient and satisfactory manner than
hitherto, so that a lower grade of fuel may be used with equal results or other
advantages of a good air draught obtained without necessitating a high chimney or
smoke stack.
•
For this purpose there are arranged under the grate a suitable number of pipes
perforated on the upper side with several rows of holes and placed at a convenient
distance below the grate bars and parallel therewith. These pipes are supplied
from a main pipe D to which the air is supplied by a rotary fan or blower of any
convenient kind.
This invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing in which Fig. 1 is a vertical
section of a grate with pipes thereunder. Fig. 2 a plan view of the pipe system.
Fig. 3 a vertical cross section of the grate and pipe system.
A grate with two rows of firebars A. B is shown and five pipes C are shown for
supplying the air, the grate is therefore divided into five compartments by deeper
fire bars as shown in Fig. 3, there being also uo holes in the pipes C under the cross
bars on which the ends of the grate bars rest as shown in Fig. 1. D is the main
supply pipes. The pipes C are connected at one end to this pipe and are closed and
connected to each other at the other end.
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
An air blast apparatus consisting of a number of pipes CC having several rows
of holes in their upper faces, connected together and to a main supply pipe D and
adapted to be arranged under and parallel to the grate bars of a furnace for the
purpose described
