A Remedy for Syphilis, Intumescence of the Glands, and
other Maladies.
I, Privatdocent Dr. HUGO ERDMANN, a subject of the German Emperor, residing
at Halle on Saale, University do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
I have found that rubidium iodide, (a substance which has never been employed
in medicine), possesses a particular sanative power, applied to syphilis, intumescences
of the glands and other maladies. Rubidium iodide is more durable than natrium
iodide and ammonium iodide, less poisonous than kalium iodide. From that reason
in many cases you can obtain with rubidium iodide successes hitherto not obtained
by the salts of iodine now used in pharmacy.

The Treatment of Ingredients and the Manufacture of Compound
Blocks for Use as Fire Lighters.
I, JOHN MORLEY of 232 York Road, King's Cross, London, Patent Firelighter
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:―
This invention has for object the treatment of certain ingredients in or about
certain proportions and their amalgamation for compression or moulding into sticks
or other form of blocks for lighting fires.
The ingredients are resin, two kinds of sawdust, coal in powder and small particles,
and rock parafine.
These or some of them are heated, preferably by gas heat, and mixed into a
mass after which while warm and in a semi-fluid state is placed on a mould plate on
which another plate can be pressed to shape it into sticks, blocks, cakes, or other
form for general use.
The quantities of the ingredients for a given weight or quantity of sticks cakes
or the like are about as follows
84 lbs. resin.
18 lbs. red sawdust waste from skin dressers, preferably that from which seal
skins have been dressed.
42 lbs. sawdust (coarse).
20 lbs. pulverised coal (gassy).
30 lbs. granulated coal
4 lbs. parafine residuum.
The resin is first liquified by fire heat and transferred to a cauldron heated by
gas. The other ingredients are amalgamated and thrown into the cauldron and
intermixed with the resin by stirring.
The compound in a semi-liquid pasty condition is then by a ladle scooped out of
the mixing pot and placed in moulds the pressure being sufficient to shape them
into cakes or otherwise.
The compound thus treated leaves the ingredients in a somewhat expanded or
swollen condition, particularly the sawdust, which permits when dry and the com-
pound sett for free access of air to assist combustion and produce a Hame instead of
a smouldering which would occur if the pressure be such as would put the com-
ponent particles into close contact.
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: -
1. The employment and treatment of the ingredients named in or about the
proportions stated for making a compound for moulding into suitable forms as fire
fighters as set forth.
2. The manufacture of sticks, cakes or blocks suitable for lighting fires from
the ingredients or materials above referred to in the manner described.

Improvements in Road Scraping Machines.
We BRIERLEY DENHAM HEALEY of Bamber Bridge in the County of Lancaster
Civil Engineer and GEORGE SOUTHERN of Station Road, Bamber Bridge, afore-
said, Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
Hitherto the scraping blades have been made of strips of rolled steel about four
inches wide and an eighth of an inch thick curved to a radius of about 19 inches.
The arms which usually carry the scraper blades have hitherto been forged with
the inner end forked and the outer end turned down. The arms have been secured
to the scraper blades by bolts at the outer end, and steadied by light springs of
steel near the inner end. To the first and last scraper blades of each machine a
guard plate has been fitted with corner pieces for retaining the scrapings.
According to our present invention the scraper blades A are made of cast steel
with a slight flange on each edge, and an ear at the top for fixing them to the arms.
The arms B are also of cast steel of V or U section, and the ends are of their
former shape but cast. Each arm has a print E near the inner end for one end of
a tubular rubber buffer spring F. There is also a cross bar C which has pips or
pins H.for holding the upper end of the rubber buffer springs..
Each arm has a tubular rubber buffer spring about 2 inches long by 1-inch
diameter with a 8-inch hole through.
The guard plate D for first and last scraper blades are also of cast steel with ears
on for fixing them to the blades.
The usual steel springs may be used with slots in to receive the prints on scraper
arms, without departing from the object of this invention.
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 :-
1-Making cast steel scrapers, and arms, and guard plates, as herein shewn and
described for road scraping machines.
2-The use of india rubber springs attached as herein described to the arms of
road scraping machines.

I, THOMAS PRICE Ty-Bryn Bishopston near Swansea Corn Merchant & Miller,
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 of a machine, shewn in the accompanying tracing,
comprising :-
(1) A revolving drum screen A clothed with perforated metal or wire and driven
by mitre wheels and placed above the rolls next described & as shewn on
Figure 1.
(2) A pair of smooth rolls B B one of which is driven from the side the other
roll driven by friction of the first roll as shewn in Fig. 3.
(3) A corrugated roll C driven by cogwheel gearing, from spindle of first smooth
roll B. as shewn in Fig. 3.
(4) A corrugated lip or plate D, held nearly against the roll C. by a spring and
screw adjusting arrangement as shewn in Fig. 1.
(5) A revolving drum screen, clothed with perforated metal or wire and placed
below the rolls, as shewn in Fig. 1.
The machine is used as follows:-A stream of mixed grain is fed into the
screen A. Such portions of the grain as oats & barley fall through the meshes of
the wire or the perforations of the metal clothing of the screen and are led by a
slide to the pair of smooth rolls, and by them are more or less flattened, such other
portions of the mixture as beans or maize pass along the screen and are discharged
at its lower end upon the corrugated roll and lip and are thereby broken or
kibbled.
The rolled and kibbled grain now re-unite below the rolls and are led over a
slide to a second revolving drum screen, which removes dust and too finely broken
grain, and discharges them at F while it delivers the mixed feed at G.
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 combined apparatus for manufacturing crushed mixed feed for horses and
cattle, the parts of which apparatus have the following position in relation to one
another.
(1) A separator part, placed above or preceding part 2.
(2) Crushing and rolling parts, placed after part 1 and before part 3.
(3) Reuniting and cleaning parts below or following parts 2.
That which is novel in this apparatus, is the order in which the foregoing parts
are placed, the distance between the parts is non-essential and can be varied to meet
convenience of local adaption.

The frame o situated underneath the receiver a has a shaft n passing through it
upon which are fixed six (or other suitable number of) sets of radiating hole
diggers k. In the progress of the machine the shaft n is so made to revolve that
each digger makes a hole in the ground. Close to the diggers the feed tubes d
are situated and are in connection with the potato holder or reservoir a see
Figures 1, 2 and 3.
The outlet e of the tube d is provided with a hinged lid which is normally kept
closed by spring pressure and carries a striking pin h. Each of the arms of the
digger carries a hook formed projection which in passing by the tube d strikes
the pin and opens the lid g for the moment so that by means of the open spout
continuation a potato rolls into the just-made hole.
The further falling of more than one potato upon the opening of the lid g is
prevented by two half circle or crescent shaped pins which upon the turning of
the lid g enter through the openings m into the interior of d.
In order to produce at pleasure a larger or smaller planting hole and to be able
to bring the digger quite out of contact with the ground the hinder wheel axle t is
bent angular.
The hand lever N which is held is position by a lock pin w determines the
position of the angle shaft and at the same time also the height of the frame above
the ground.
When not in use the hole digging blades are held fast by a brake apparatus
consisting of the two boards p and y connected by hinges which are made rigid by
the bolts when 9 is folded upon p and fastened by a chain the rotation of blades
is unhindered.
The covering over of the planted potatoes is effected by means of a following
plough-share=fastened to the frame of the carriage (Figure 1).
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 potato planting machine having a horizontal shaft n with hole digger k thereon
together with the feeding tubes d the hinged lid g of which on being struck is
momentarily opened whereupon the hook formed pins seated on the hinged
lid g pass into the interior of the feeding tubes in order to prevent the falling of

oven,
a is the foundation of the oven, in the centre of which is the flue, perforated at
the bottom and communicating with the furnaces c, any convenient number of
which may be used, by means of the hollow space e, between the foundation a and
the floor of the oven, g is the outer wall of the oven, in which the furnaces are
erected, and upon the roof of the said outer wall is a short shaft g' concentric with
the flue b. An inner wall divides the complete oven into two parts or chambers
which by the use of doors and dampers can be either placed in communication or
isolated from each other.
By this means the general utility of the oven is greatly increased and a greater
variety of work can be baked at the same time than heretofore, inasmuch as one
portion of the oven may be heated by direct contact with the heated gases, and the
other by radiation or conduction only according as the gases are caused to pass
direct from the furnaces into the chamber or chambers, or are wholly or partially
conducted or diverted beneath the flooring into the flue b.
The illustration herein given, is merely typical of the manner in which my
invention may be carried out, the details of construction may and probably will be
varied according to the class of oven to be dealt with.
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

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 safety pocket clasp which is practically proof against pick
pockets and watch snatchers.
.
I use a strip of thin flat steel folded in the centre so as to meet at both ends,
which are rivetted together thus forming a loop in shape. I then secure a piece
of flat covered metal under the end of loop which I call the protector.
Near the centre of one side of the loop (which I call the slot side) I cut a
hole and slot. On the other side of the loop (which I call the catch side) I cut
on either edge a long notch into which I fold a piece of flat metal which I use as
a slide.
Affixed to the inner side of the slide is a short stud corresponding in position
with the hole and slot on the slot side of the loop. On the outer side of the slide
is another stud which I use to work the slide backwards and forwards.
There are perforations in the loop so as to allow its being sewn to the pocket
of any garment.
To close the pocket I press the two sides of the loop together and slide the
short stud backwards into the hole and slot, thus reducing the size of loop so as to
admit of a watch chain to pass through.
To open the pocket I press the slide forwards which releases the short stud
from the hole and slot and the pocket springs open assuming a loop or pear in
shape.

Improvements in the Wheels of Bicycles, Tricycles, and other
Wheeled Vehicles.
I ALFRED DUCASBLE of 9 Avenue Mac Malion, Paris, Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My said invention relates to improvements in the wheels of bicycles, tricycles
and other wheeled vehicles.
According to my said invention the rubber tyre is approximately of U section
with the open base resting on the rim which then closes the cavity and forms an
annular resilient air chamber. Owing to the shape of the tyre which is in tension
on the rim it remains resilient when pierced or even separated and can be easily
repaired.
The tread or part of the tyre which comes in contact with the ground may in
some cases be ribbed or fluted.

1, Alfred DuCASBLE of 9 Avenue MacMahon, Paris, 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 certain improvements in wheels for bicycles tricycles, &
other wheeled vehicles, & in the following description reference may be had to the
appended sheet of drawings, suitable letters being used to indicate the various
parts.
In said drawings
Figure 1 represents a tyre in cross section, detached from the rim, and
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the tyre in position upon the rim.
According to my said invention the rubber tyre a is approximately of V shaped
section, when detached from the rim b b as shown by Figure 1, and when in
position as shown by Figure 2, the two edges rest upon, and are enclosed by the
channels formed upon the rim of the wheel, which closes the cavity, and forms
an annular resilient air chamber d. Owing to the shape of the tyre a, which is in
tension upon the rim, it remains resilient when pierced, or even separated, and can
be easily repaired. The tread, or part of the tyre which comes in contact with the
ground may be in some cases ribbed or fluted.

Improvements in Making Boxes.
I, ADAM MILLAR of 45 Montrose Street in the City of Glasgow Manu-
facturer, 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 purpose of the improvements is to produce boxes of light weight and which
shall occupy comparatively little space when not in use.
The improvements consist 1st in making the boxes longer and wider at the top
than at the bottom so as to allow of a number of boxes packing into each other.
2nd, In a form of dovetailing applied to the bottom and also to the lid of the boxes
which greatly increases the strength and stiffness and so allows of thinner materials
being used than otherwise would be required.
The dovetails are a series of 'tongues and notches formed on each of the four
edges of the bottom and fitting into corresponding notches and tongues formed on
the lower edges of the four sides of the box.
The four sides are dovetailed together at their corners and fastened with glue in
the customary manner.
The bottom is also fastened to the sides by glue applied to the dovetailing formed
on the bottom and on the lower edges of the sides.
The lid is to be kept separate or only attached by a hinge to one of the sides.
When it is placed in position the dovetails on the edges of the lid fit into the corre-
sponding dovetails on the upper edges of the four sides. The lid is held down in
its position by being tied with twine in the usual manner.
The dovetails applied to the lids and bottoms as described is also applicable to
boxes made in the usual square form that is having the length and width the same
at the top as at the bottom.
Figure in the accompanying drawings shews a perspective view of boxes
constructed in the manner described and also shews the manner in which they may
be packed into each other when empty so as to occupy comparatively small space :
this figure also shews the dovetailings at the four corners joining the sides A. A.
as well as the dovetailings on the upper edges of the four sides B. 13. into which the
lid fits; and the dovetailings on the lower edges of the four sides C. C. into which
the bottom fits.
.
Figure 2. is a plan of the box as seen from above with lid in position.
Figure 3. is a view of the box seen in an inverted position, that is to say, bottom
upwards, showing the bottom dovetailed into the four sides.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The making of boxes of light weight having the top longer and wider than the
bottom, and having the lid and bottom dovetailed in to the sides substantially as
described.

Improved Means of Carrying Inflators on Velocipedes.
I, HARRY SHORT of Matlock Bath in the County of Derby, Cycle Agent, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
:-
I propose by my invention to provide a means of carrying on a velocipede the
inflator used for inflating the pneumatic tyres without detracting from the
appearance of the machine and at the same time carrying the inflator in such a
position as to be ready and and handy for use at any time.
In carrying out my invention I convert the saddle bar of the velocipede into a
case for holding the inflator and secure the latter therein in any suitable manner,
such as by having springs on the end of same to widen out when pushed through
the end of the hollow saddle bar, they may however be adapted to spring into slots
formed in the sides of the bar; or, the bar may have one end covered in and the
other provided with a screw or spring cap or cover. The inflator may however be
secured therein by a variety of well known means.

Improvements in Braces.
I, ROBERT HENRY HUMMEL, of the firm of E. & H. Hummel & Co., Hosiers
and Shirtmakers of 6 Old Bond Street, in the County of London, 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 braces has for its object to construct braces
so that they shall have an unlimited amount of elasticity and will consequently
accommodate themselves to all positions of the wearer and shall not be liable to
breakage or loss of elasticity; and consists essentially in connecting the suspending
tags to the body of the braces, which are inelastic, by means of short pieces of
uncovered rubber such as are used for door springs or for catapults.
In the accompanying sheets of illustrative drawings Figure 1 shows a pair of
braces constructed according to this invention.
Figure 2 shows the manner in which the back suspending tags are connected to
the braces and Figure 3 shows the manner in which the front suspending tags are
connected to the usual buckles by means of which the lengths of the braces are
adjusted.
The suspending tags a are secured in the ordinary manner to the metal ring b
which is connected as shown to the devices c for holding the ends of the round
rubber pieces d. The other ends of the rubber pieces d are held in the devices e
similar to the devices c connected to the ring secured to the adjusting buckles g
or to the back leather joining the two parts of the braces. The parts i of the
braces passing over the shoulders of the wearer are made of inelastic material and
the rubber pieces c, e are not covered with an inelastic material so that the elasticity
is unlimited.
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. Securing the suspending tags of braces to the adjusting buckles or to the ends
of the inelastic portion of the braces by means of india rubber cords substantially
as described.
2. The construction of braces substantially as described with reference to the
drawings.

Improvements in or applicable to Organs and similar Instruments.
I, JAMES SEMPLE MURDOCH of 1, The Terrace Camden Square in the County
of London, Organ 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 relates to improvements in, or applicable to organs and similar
instruments.
Instruments such as American organs, harmoniums and the like are generally
known as "Chamber organs" and the object of the manufacturer of the same is to
imitate pipe organs as nearly as possible in tone touch and appearance. In order
to enhance the similarity, a set of pipes is frequently if not generally, mounted
upon or in a suitable part of the casing so as to strike the eye of the beholder and
these give the instrument the desired appearance. Such pipes do not "speak"
and their sole object is that above indicated. Hitherto such pipes have been
made in metal and provided with “lips" and "wings" precisely as "speaking
pipes would be, and they have, as a rule, been painted by hand.
22
Mute pipes were therefore an addition to the instrument the cost whereof was
out of proportion with its value and this prevented their use in cheap organs.
One object of my invention is to cheapen such mute pipes. In accordance
with my invention I make such pipes of paper, cardboard, strawboard or other
cheap material and provide the same with "wings" and "lips" of metal so as
to make them in all respects similar to speaking pipes. Instead of painting them
by hand I cover the same with paper printed with a suitable pattern. In some
cases I make the pipes of solid cylinders of wood, or I may make the straight
portion of the pipe of one material (strawboard say) and the conical bottom
portion of wood.
Speaking pipes, whether of metal or wood, may according to this invention also
be ornamented by pasting paper printed with a suitable pattern over them.
The paper for covering the pipes may be simply coloured if preferred or bear a
pattern imitating ivory, costly wood or similar material.
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 use in chamber organs and the like of mute pipes made of paper,
cardboard, wood or the like instead of metal pipes, as and for the purpose
hereinabove set forth.
2. The ornamentation of organ pipes by covering the same with paper bearing
a suitable pattern or with coloured paper as described.
