Improved Apparatus for Cutting and Trimming. Specimens of Rocks
and Minerals.
FRANCIS HENRY BUTLER, of 148, Brompton Road, London, S.W., Dealer in
Natural History Specimens 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 invention is improved apparatus for cutting and trimming specimens of rocks
and minerals.
The frame of the machine consists of an iron bed with a vertical head at each
end A & B, one of which A holds one of the cutters a, the other B a wrought bush
collar-nut, threaded to take a powerful pressure screw C.
The two fixed heads are pierced for and connected by means of two screw-ended
iron stays D, E, or tie-bars, one on each side, which support the strain on the machine
during use. The stays act also as guides for an intermediate head F, which carries
the second cutter b, and is moved backwards and forwards by means of the screw.
The screw is connected by a collar G with the back of this head, is turned by a portable
fulcrum lever H, and exercises a direct action on the two cutters in one plane when the
machine is in use.
The machine may be fixed so as to admit of the horizontal revolution of the screw-
lever.
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 now
claim is :-
(1) The application of pressure from the screw directly to the object to be cut or
trimmed.
(2) The use of the tie-bars to resist strain, and to serve as guides for the movable
cutting head.
(3) The position of the screw, which precludes the risk of the thread being fouled
by fragments during the operation of cutting or trimming.

page_text: I, WILLIAM LLOYD WISE, of No. 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the County of
Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention (a communication to me from abroad by the "Actien Gesellschaft für
chemische Industrie" at Rheinau Baden, Germany) to be as follows :-
This invention relates to a new process of manufacturing retene (the formula of
which is Hs) from resin oil.
Resin oil, being a product of the dry distillation of colophony is heated in the
presence of a required quantity of sulphur having a weight of about one third of that
of the resin oil, in an iron vessel, preferably in a reflux-cooler until the formation of
sulphide of hydrogen is entirely finished. The retene is now obtained from the
residues either by distillation or by extraction by means of alcohol, benzine, petroleum-
ether or other suitable solvents.
The raw retene thus obtained is finally purified by crystallisation.

Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent 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 a new process of manufacturing retene (the formula of
which is C H) from resin oil.
Resin oil, being a product of the dry distillation of colophony is heated in the
presence of a required quantity of sulphur and preferably having a weight of about
one, third of that of the resin oil, in a vessel of suitable material such as iroii,
preferably in a reflux-cooler, until the formation of sulphide of hydrogen is entirely
finished. The retene is afterward obtained from the residual product either by
distillation or by extraction by means of alcohol, benzine, petroleum-ether or other
suitable solvents.
The raw retene thus obtained is finally purified by crystallization.
18
In the formation of retene C₁ H₁, from resin oil or from its constituent, the tetra-
hydro-retene ( H (which has substantially the same qualities as resin oil), in the
manner hereinabove described the sulphur combines with part of the hydrogen of the
resin oil or its constituent and evolves it as sulphuretted hydrogen.
Retene and its derivatives may be employed in a similar manner and for the same
purposes as the homologues anthracene, phenanthrene and analogous compounds.
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 :—
The process of manufacturing retenc (C₁ H₁8) from resin oil by heating the latter
in the presence of sulphur until the formation of sulphide of hydrogen is completed,
then obtaining the raw retene from the residual product either by distillation or by
extraction by means of suitable solvents such as alcohol, benzine, petroleum-ether and
the like, and finally purifying the product by crystallization.

table or stand having the top placed upon the upright supports A. A. at an angle
inclining to the front of about forty degrees. The top, upright supports, and cross
bar, at the bottom are fitted together with mortise and tenon so that the table can be
easily set up or taken down and for convenience in packing.
The base of the upright supports A. A. contain sockets back and front into which
the rods bbbb are inserted so as to incline from the table at an angle of about
fifteen degrees. The two rods at the back extend some distance above the top of the
table, the two front rods extend to a point a little below the top of the table, from the
top of these four rods a net is suspended so as to enclose the top of the table at
the back and sides and extend under it to a short distance in front of the table, the
net thus placed is for intercepting the balls, which when thrown miss the pockets,
placed in the top of the table, and is so constructed that it tapers to a point below the
top of the table at which point a small opening is made in the net towards which
the balls rolling empty themselves into a basket or other receptacle placed to receive
them.
The top of the table is constructed with a series of pockets suspended from the
circular openings as shown in the drawing, each of these pockets represents a different
color, as red, white, blue, yellow, etc., and is designated by a painted ring around the
circular opening or by some other mark having the proper color and which can be
plainly seen placed contiguous to it.

page_text: Into the pockets so arranged the balls shown in Fig. 2 & 3 are to be thrown the
number of halls used in playing to consist of three to each pocket and to correspond
in color to the color of the pockets, counters corresponding in color and number to
the balls are to be used to keep count as the game proceeds. Such counters can be
made of small pieces of colored wood or ivory, with the apparatus constructed and
arranged as herein described a number of interesting games can be played such as the
game of Pool in billiards etc. etc.
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 :-

Improvements in Treating Anthracite Coal and in Machinery or
Apparatus therefor.
I, JOHN TYNDALL WILLIAMS, of 57, Bond Street, Swansea in the county of
Glamorgan, trader in hardware, 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 a special method of treating anthracite coal, and in
machinery or apparatus employed in such treatment.
The coal is first screened or sifted in a screen of a given-sized mesh, and that which
passes through the meshes of the said screen is conveyed by a shoot to a pair of
rolls the peripheries of which are furnished with knife-edged spikes or teeth. By
these rolls the coal is broken up and is again screened in a screen of smaller mesh.
Such coal as does not pass through the meshes of the second screen is again broken
between similar rolls arranged to divide it into still smaller lumps which are in
turn subsequently screened.
The coal is thus divided and subdivided for sorting and classifying, according to
size, as steam coal, grate coal, stove coal, "chestnut "coal and "peanut" coal.
At Fig. 1 on the accompanying sheet of drawings is represented a longitudinal
section, and at Fig. 2 an end elevation, of a roll constructed for breaking anthracite coal
in accordance with this invention. It consists of a drum a mounted on a shaft b and
furnished with teeth e having each a double knife edge whereby they are reversible
when one edge is worn. They are secured on the druin a by cotters or keys d passed
into slots formed for their reception in the stems or shanks of the teeth. Instead of
being kept in place by cotters or keys, as shown, the teeth may be held by nuts
screwed upon the stems or shanks. Figs. 3 and 4 represent a front and side view
respectively of the longer teeth, and Figs. 5 and 6 similar views of the shorter teeth.
The spikes or teeth are of "diamond" shape in section.
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
The use, for breaking or dividing coal, of rolls such as a fitted with double knife-
edged teeth such as secured on the drum, substantially as hereinbefore described
with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings.

I EDMUND BURKE of 17 and 18 High Street Dublin Ireland, Tea 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 this Invention is to produce an improved apparatus, or machine, of
novel construction, for the purpose of mixing, or bulking tea, or other similar
substances in a simple and effectual manner, and without injury to the leaf.
The nature, and construction of my said Invention will be readily understood on
reference to the accompanying Drawings in which Fig. 1, is an elevation, and Fig. 2,
an end view of the improved tea mixer-A, is a cylinder of suitable length and
diameter closed at the ends and rotating on the spindle or axis B, mounted in suitable
frame-work C.
Within the cylinder are arranged a number of shelves or slides c, c, each forming an
acute angle with the circumference of the cylinder.
These shelves, or slides are of suitable width according to the dimensions of the
apparatus and occupy as shown only a limited zone towards the circumference of the
cylinder.
In the central portion of the cylinder is arranged a disk or diaphragm D, at an
inclined angle to the axis, and is held in this position by the rod d, the extremities of
which are secured to the ends of the cylinder by angle pieces d', d¹. This disk or
diaphragm in rotating with the cylinder assumes a peculiar rotatory motion, causing
the tea or other substance undergoing treatment to be thrown from end to end of the
cylinder.
Thus it is obvious, by this arrangement, the tea is not only thrown forward from
shelf to shelf but is also thrown from end to end of the cylinder, and a thorough mixing
or blending thereby effected. A suitable lid or cover e, is provided in the cylinder for
the introduction of the tea or other similar substance to be mixed.

Drackets for supporting t
Drawing Rollers of Preparing and Spinning Machinery.
I ROBERT TAYLOR, Junior, of 19 Hill Street, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
INCLINED STANDS OR BRACKETS FOR SUPPORTING THE DRAWING ROLLERS OF
PREPARING AND SPINNING MACHINERY, 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 inclined stands or brackets for supporting
the drawing rollers of preparing and spinning machinery and the object of my
improvements is to diminish friction in the bearings and to increase the durability of
the brasses which usually line the bearings.
And in order that my Invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a side elevation Fig. 2 a longitudinal section and Fig. 3 a plan of an
inclined stand or bracket to which my Invention is applied.
These views show an inclined stand or bracket a as arranged for the support of
three bottom drawing rollers.
In an ordinary stand of this type it is now customary to cut or recess the metal
with the required number of parallel rectangular slots such as the recess 6 the base of
which is at right angles to the sides and these recesses form the bearing surfaces for
the necks of the drawing rollers. The recesses are either used unlined as shown at b
Fig. 1 or lined with a flat piece of brass b' as shown in Fig. 2. It is obvious that by
this arrangement the drawing rollers have inclined bearing surfaces which will always
tend to throw them forward in their bearings and thus increase friction and cause
undue wear on the brasses.
Now my Invention consists in constructing and arranging the inclined stand in such
a way that when the pedestal of the inclined stand is placed perpendicularly, as shown,
the drawing rollers will bear upon surfaces which are horizontal or nearly so.
To effect this I form each recess c in the stand with a horizontal base, as shown,

page_text: and with a cavity c¹ or with more than one cavity if desired and I fit the brasses d
into position preferably by casting them into the recesses c so that part of each brass
runs into one or more cavities c¹ and is thus secured. I finish off the upper sides of
the brasses d so as to leave horizontal or approximately horizontal bearing surfaces
for the necks of the drawing rollers.
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 construction use and application of an inclined stand or bracket with horizontal
or approximately horizontal bearing surfaces for the drawing rollers of preparing and
spinning machinery substantially as and for the purposes herein described and as
shown.
