page_text: I, CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM CLARK, of 43, Hertford Road, Sparkbrook, Worcester-
shire, Manufacturers' 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:—
My Invention has reference to an improved man or piece for playing the game
of draughts or backgammon which consists of an ordinary draughts-man having
fixed on one side a separate piece of wood, bone, ivory, metal or other suitable
substance or material of a different colour to the body of the draughts-man and
which I call a crown-piece such crown-piece preferably bearing a representation of
a crown. The object of the crown-piece is to obviate the necessity of placing one
draughts-man on the top of another when in the course of the game that piece is
"crowned." By forming a crown-piece on one side of the draughts-man, which is
the underside until the piece is made a king, it is only necessary to turn the
draughts-man upside down (thereby exhibiting the crown-piece) to crown him.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in plan and sectional elevation
a draughts-man constructed according to my Invention; Fig. 2 is an inverted plan
of the same; Fig. 3 represents in plan and sectional elevation the draughts-man
proper illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2 separately and Fig. 4 is a plan and sectional
elevation of the crown-piece of the same separately.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the Figures.
a is the draughts-man proper having at one side a recess c into which is fitted
the crown-piece b of wood, metal, bone, ivory, or other suitable substance or com-
bination of substances. The said orown-piece b may either bear a representation
of a crown or it may be made plain.
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:
1st The improved draughts-man hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawing, that is to say, a draughts-man having fixed at one side

I, BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD MILLS, of the firm of Harris and Mills of
23 Southampton Buildings in the county of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of said invention a communication to me from abroad by
Sosthène Sébastien Serrier of 86 Rue Royale Brussels in the Kingdom of Belgium
Merchant, and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The invention relates to a filter cylinder for making coffee by a preparatory
maceration in cold water and the manner of using the same said apparatus being
also applicable for making tea.
The apparatus consists as represented in the drawings of a cylindrical box
furnished with a cover and made of tin plate perforated on all sides thus forming
a filter cylinder.
In making coffee by means of this apparatus, it is first about half or two thirds
filled with ground coffee so as to leave a little space for the swelling of the coffee
and the circulation of the water.
The filter being furnished with a handle is then placed in a receiver capable of
being placed over a fire this receiver may be a vase or cafetière of any suitable
shape containing cold water and it is then left the longest possible time, a quarter
of an hour, an hour or even a day after which the receiver which contains the
filter is placed over the fire; it may also be placed in a "bain marie" or outer
vessel containing water; after which it is withdrawn after one or two minutes
rapid boiling; the filter is then removed by its handle taking care to plunge it and
replunge it several times into the liquid in order to well wash the grounds, the
coffee is thus made and it is left to stand a short time to allow it to clarify.
With the grounds remaining in the filter, there can be made a second coffee by
replacing it in boiling water during one or two minutes; in making tea the same
process is employed as for coffee but it is useless to submit it to a preparatory
maceration in cold water.

page_text: The advantages of this apparatus are; that the coffee is rapidly made because
it is unnecessary to make and to maintain a fire for the maceration as this is
effected in cold water and that it is only at the moment when it is desired to take
hot coffee that it is necessary to boil the water, from which arises an economy of
time.
That all the strength of the coffee is thus obtained and consequently a com.
paratively small quantity of coffee is employed for the same quality of coffee as
that obtained by the means hitherto employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The filter cylinder as herein before described and represented in the accom-
panying drawings, consisting of a cylindrical box furnished with a cover and
handle and made of metal perforated with fine holes for the purpose specified.
2. The application of the said filter cylinder and the method of making coffee
substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: WALTER MATTHEWS 27 Carey Street W.C. Surgical Instrument Maker. 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:
-
This invention consists in the application of endless or plain clastic Bands in
conjunction with hooks fixed in Surgical Bandages to apply pressure, and increase
it locally.
In the Surgical Bandages ordinarily used, such as, Belts, Stockings, Knee Caps,
Thigh piecs, Trusses, the elastic pressure is obtained by means of pieces of elastic,
sewn into Surgical Bandages, or by bandages made entirely of India Rubber, by
India Rubber bandages fastened by a rigid lace, or by India Rubber interwoven with
other material. By any of these means the surgical pressure required can not be so
well controlled, nor directed locally, as with my invention.
Fig. 1 in drawing shows hooks A with elastic band B stretched across.
Fig. 2 shows bandage & pressure locally applied at A. B C.
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 ;
That the novelty claimed in this invention consists in the application of endless
or plain India Rubber bands, stretched upon hooks for surgical pressure. By this
means pressure may be applied, increased, decreased, or removed, very readily, at any
desired point.

SOLOMON DAVEY 185 St. Andrews Road Birmingham Builder do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention which relates to a spring Dollie for washing cloths or any other
purpose for which a similar instrument is used. It consists of an ordinary Dollie
with a spiral spring underneath the centre, the spring is made fast to the Dollie at
one end, in the other end there is a block of wood fitted & secured, this block projects
a few inches below the bottom surface of the Dollie. When the Dollie is in its
proper position it stands upon the block of wood but upon pressure being put upon it
the spring gives way and the block forces itself up the groove in the Dollie level with
the surface. When the Dollie is lifted for the up stroke it is lifted by the spring.
In this way the labour of Dollying is greatly lessened.

SOLOMON DAVEY Salford Bridge Wharf Gravelly Hill Birmingham 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 consists of a block and spring or some other substance or substitute
for the spring and attached to an ordinary washing dolly for the purpose of reduceing
the labour required to minipulate such implements.
Letters A and AI of the accompanying drawings shows respectively a plan and

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CLOTH
Year: 1886

page_text: I, JOHN BURN, of the firm of Messrs J Burn & Co, Beehive Mills, Bradford in the
County of York, Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CLOTH 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 certain improvements in the manufacture of fabrics used
for the linings of wearing apparel and other purposes, such as finishing, ties and
scarfs.
Hitherto the linings of wearing apparel have been constructed of sateens and
Italians for the better class of coats, satin has been largely used. The object of
this Invention is to produce a fabric possessing the wear and tear of the former and
all if not more of the smoothness of the latter.
I accomplish my object in the following manner. I construct the fabric with a
polished cotton warp say from two fold one hundred and twenties to two fold two
hundreds with ordinary cotton weft in sets ranging from two hundred to two
hundred and eighty. The piece when woven is finished in the ordinary way and
is then a fabric with the greater portion of the polished cotton threads thrown on
to the upper surface of the cloth and possessing greater wear and tear than sateens
or Italians, and also more of the smoothness than is common to satin, and produced
at a cost for below that of satin.
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 production of a fabric with the polished cotton threads thrown upon the
upper surface substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

page_text: I, THOMAS EXTON GARDNER, trading as Yardley & Co, of Ridgemount Street,
Tottenham Court Road, Middlesex, Perfumer and Toilet Soap Maker do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention has for its object the marking or branding of transparent soap
indelibly. Hitherto various methods have been suggested, notably a method of
deeply stamping out letters, words, or devices by means of dies or by punching;
also a method of filling in the apertures (thus made) with coloured plastic soap or
soap powder; also a method of inserting labels in the centre of transparent soap.
The above methods, however, are open to several objections which have hitherto
frustrated all attempts to introduce to the market tablets of soap indelibly marked.
The chief objection is that when in use dirt and suds soon fill the brand which is
deeply inserted, and if said brand be packed with coloured plastic soap or soap
powder the colour does not flow evenly but leaves a smudged appearance, and
moreover the plastic soap or soap powder after being inserted shrinks when dry
and drops out. The disintegration of the soap is also a serious objection to all the
methods enumerated and particularly to the method of inserting labels in the centre
When the lastnamed soap is used it falls to pieces.
of the soap.
Knowing that soap as commonly marked soon loses when in use the maker's
brand and can no longer be distinguished by the public from soap of inferior
quality, and believing that soap indelibly branded may be used as an advertising
medium for various goods, I have experimented for years to overcome the difficulties
hereinbefore enumerated, and have succeeded in the following manner.
In this my invention I provide a cutter formed of thin metal blades and of the
depth of the tablet or bar of soap to be indelibly marked. Said cutter may be
arranged to form the letter Y or any other suitable letter figure or initials, or any
suitable word or any suitable device; and the cutter is fixed to a bed or frame
which may be worked by hand or attached to an ordinary soap marking press.
The cutter on being forced through a tablet or bar of transparent soap (either
before or after stamping in the ordinary press) causes a thin cut to be made
removing only a very small quantity, if any, of the soap and the brand remains
D

page_text: indelibly marked until the soap is entirely worn away. The lines of the cut being
very fine, disintegration of the soap does not take place sufficiently when in use to
allow dirt and suds to penetrate the aperture.
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 marking or branding of transparent soap indelibly by means of a cutter
consisting of thin metal blades substantially as and for the purpose herein before

page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY DANIELS of York Villa, Granada Road, Southsea, Ports-
mouth 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 :-
This invention consists in making the hulls of vessels boats and the like of
such a shape that the two halves of the bottom after curving downwards from
the sides shall curve upwards and inwards meeting in the middle of the hull
while at or about the lowest part of each of the curved halves a short keel or centre
board is fixed.
By this inward curving of the two parts of the bottom much greater buoyancy
and steadiness may be obtained than is possible with the usual construction while
any tendency to drifting is obviated by the keels.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a boat constructed
according to this invention.
Figure 2 is a midships cross section.
Referring to Figure 2 it will be seen that the sides A come down in the usual
manner to about what may be termed the centre B of each half when they begin
to rise curving inwards and upwards until they finally meet at C the middle of
the bull.
The keels or centre boards (the former are preferred on account of the latter
taking up space in the interior of the boat) D are provided for the purpose of
preventing the drifting which a boat without any keel is liable to.
The portion C is by preference, for facility of construction, made flat and hori-
zontal from end to end, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1; it forms the backbone
of the ship or boat, and the two halves, or bilges, of the boat or ship, rise and
converge towards its ends, finally merging in them at the bow and the stern, which
are finished in the usual manner.

page_text: 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,
In a boat or vessel having the bottom in two halves curved upwards and inwards
towards the middle, and sloping at the ends upwards towards and converging at
the stem and the sternpost, the combination therewith of two keels or centreboards
secured at or about the lowest part of each of the curved halves or bilges, sub-

page_text: I, EDGAR MOORE CORBETT, of No. 402 Pacific Street, in the City of Brooklyn,
State of New York, United States of America, 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:-
This invention relates to scissors or shears combined with a tape case, so that the
article to be cut may also be measured by the same instrument-Heretofore such
case has been attached to the pivot that connects the blades, so as to project
beyond one of the sides of the scissors. I contemplate to place the case between
the handles. This is accomplished by attaching the case to the inner edge of one
of the handles, and by making the inner edge of the other handle of concave form
to accommodate the case. In this way the case will not prevent the free use of
the scissors, and will at the same time be properly protected.
The invention consists in the features of improvement hereinafter more fully
pointed out.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a face view of the scissors, showing
them closed.
Fig. 2 is a sectional face view showing them open.
'The letters a a¹ represent the blades of a pair of scissors or shears, connected by
pivot c, and provided with handles 6 6¹, as usual. The handle 6 is provided, or
made in one piece, with an inner drum d, containing a tape measure e, projecting
out of a slot in the drum. The inner end of the tape e is secured to a revolving
cap f, within which a coiled spring g is contained. One end of the spring g is
connected to the cap f, while the other end is connected to a central post h. On
drawing the tape out of the drum, the spring is wound up, so that when the tape
is released the cap is revolved, and draws the tape into the drum. In order to
permit the tape to pass through the handle b, the latter is perforated at i, as shown.
The handle b¹ is made with a concave inner edge to accommodate drum d.

L. SAMUEL PEARCE WILDING, of the firm of Fell and Wilding, of 1 Queen Victoria
Street, in the City of London, Patent Agents, 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 process for producing briquettes from ore, small coal,
coal dust, saw dust, etc. Ore-briquettes made according to this process may be
conveniently used for smelting and many other purposes, and briquettes, made
according to this process, of small coal, coal dust, etc. are a very advantageous fuel.
The said process of manufacture is as follows:-
As binding material for the above named substances molasses is used to which
is added linseed oil in the proportion of about 1 to 10. With this mixture
the substances which it is wished to form into briquettes are well moistened.
The paste thus formed is then pressed into moulds under high pressure, say up to
450 kilograms per square centimeter. The moulded pieces thus produced are then
dried at a temperature of from 200° to 250° C. During the drying a part of the
linseed oil comes to the surface of the moulded pieces and forms a protecting cover,
while the remainder of the linseed oil remains well distributed throughout the mass.
A special advantage of the before mentioned addition of linseed oil to the molasses is
that briquettes thus made are impervious to the influence of water and moist air. It
is found that the imperviousness of these briquettes to water and moist air is even not
impaired when their surface is injured. The briquettes can thus be sent without
impairing their usefulness in open wagons and by vessel.

page_text: The application of molasses alone as binding material for the before mentioned
substances gives briquettes which crumble into pieces as soon as they are brought
into contact with water. To obtain good results it is found of advantage to use
molasses of the best quality.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of the said invention as
communicated to me from abroad and in what manner the same is to be performed I
declare that what I claim is :-
The process for producing briquettes of ore, small coal, coal dust, saw dust etc.,
consisting in the moistening of the substances with molasses to which has been added
linseed oil in the proportion of about 1 to 10, pressing of the mixture into moulds
under high pressure, say up to 450 kilograms per square centimeter and drying the
moulded pieces at a temperature of from 200° to 250° C.

my invention. A is a single barrel fitted with a solid piston B suitably packed,
the piston rod C passing through a stuffing box D in the cover of the barrel. The
suction pipe E leads into the bottom of the barrel where there is a valve F opening
upwards. From the suction pipe E below this valve F there is a branch pipe G
having in it a valve H opening upwards, and this branch pipe leads into the upper
part of the barrel A. at its side. From the lower part of the barrel A and also
from the upper part of the barrel there are lateral pipes K L both opening into the
lower part of an air vessel M and having at their inlets valves N, O opening
upwards. The discharge pipe P leads from the lower part of the air vessel. As
the piston B moves up and down, it draws and discharges alternately below and
above it, and the air in the air vessel M acts as a spring maintaining continuity of
discharge.
When the pump has to draw from considerable depths, I place at intervals of
about 15 feet on the suction pipe chambers or vessels Q such as are shewn in
Fig. 2, within each of which the upper length of suction pipe R descends nearly to
its bottom whilst the lower length S of suction pipe ascends nearly to its top
within the upper length R. In the cover of each vessel Q is a small air hole T
opening into a tubular screw by which its area can be adjusted.

page_text: 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. The construction and use of double acting pump as herein described with
reference to Fig. 1.
2. In combination with the suction pipe of a pump the chamber or vessel Q
with its internal pipes R and S and adjustable air hole T, as herein described with
reference to Fig. 2.

page_text: Figure 1 shows a side view of a winding machine spindle to carry sixty
bobbins C at once, on one end.
Figure 2 a side view of a double ended spindle to carry one bobbin C on
either end.
Figure 3 shows a plan of portion of one rail of a jacking off machine.
Figure 4 a sectional view and
Figure 5 a plan of portion of a bobbin board.
Heretofore the spindles of winding machines and the wires of jacking off
machines and bobbin boards, have been made of either steel or iron, the hard
surfaces of which have caused the square central hole of each brass bobbin placed
upon them to become burred on each side by frequent use.
When such burred bobbins are placed in their carriages and are put to work in
a twist lace machine the burrs cut down the warp threads and cause considerable
damage and delay as the burred bobbins have to be taken out to have the burrs
removed by filing grinding or other means, before they can be used.
To entirely obviate this I cause the ends A see Figures 1 and 2 of each single or
double ended spindle to be made of less thickness than usual, and then make up
the ends of each spindle to the required thickness by covering it with either soft
indiarubber or with vulcanized india rubber B or other suitable material perma-
nently secured in position by a suitable cement or the rubber or other cover may
be placed in position by simply stretching it over the end of the spindle.
In either case when the rubber or other cover is worn away at the corners it
may be taken off the spindle and a new cover substituted at a slight cost.
The wires in jacking off machines and bobbin boards I cover with soft or
vulcanized india rubber or other suitable material either square or round in section,
Lance B71

page_text: perforated throughout, if round to tightly fit the round wire as shown at Figure 5,
A being the wire and B the rubber cover.
Or I make the rubber or other cover B perforated of such a diameter that it will
allow of a coil of wire D within it to freely revolve round the wire A when placed
thereon as shown at Figure 3.
The back end of each spindle cover, and the bottom end of each wire cover lies
within a recess in the flange of the spindle or the bearing rail F of a jacking off
machine "as shown at Figure 4" or a bobbin board such arrangement prevents a
bobbin C from getting between the cover and the flange or rail or board. In
either case when a brass bobbin is placed upon the rubber or other cover and
revolves round it or with it there is not any hard surface to burr the edges of the
square hole in the centre of the bobbin.
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 improved spindles for winding machines and wires for jacking off machines
and bobbin boards substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings
annexed.

page_text: I, LUDWIG SCHAD of Berlin in the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire of Germany,
Direktor of the Actiengesellschaft für Anilinfabrikation do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
If p-tolyle-B-naphthylamine is combined with the diazo-azo-benzole-di-sulpho-
acid, a color is formed which dyes wool from an acidulated bath a bluish black
shade.
This color is produced as follows:
The p-tolyle-8-naphthylamine is dissolved in the twentyfold quantity of alcohol,
and mixed with an equivalent quantity of muriatic acid of 20° Bé. The equivalent
quantity of diazo-azo-benzole-disulpho-acid is then introduced which causes the
formation of the free acid of the color. This acid must be salted out with common
salt, filtered and washed until the filtrate runs off colorless. The residue on the
filter is taken up with a solution of soda filtered and the color salted out, when it
separates in fine tabular crystals. It is then filtered pressed and dried.
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 process for the production of a bluish black color by the combination of
diazo-azo-benzole disulpho-acid with p-tolyle-B-naphthylamine.

I, WILLIAM SYKES of Horbury near Wakefield in the County of York Manufacturer
of athletic goods, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
This invention consists of improvements for the fastening of guards as used in the
games of Cricket and Football.
As at present constructed they are secured to the leg of the player by means of
buckles and straps placed at the top, bottom and centre of the back of the guard, and
also by the use of a single strap which is passed diagonally through loops placed on
each side of the guard.
To remedy the defects in their construction I fasten at the bottom or other part of
the guard, as may seem most necessary, a lace made from woollen, cotton, silk or other
similar fabrics, or an elastic band, as may appear suitable, also metallic hooks on each
side of the guard. When it is placed on the leg of the player, it is secured by the
lace or elastic band being passed and crossed from hook to hook, and at the top is
tied or bound in the ordinary way that laces are used for other purposes.
By this method a leg guard and shin guard can be more efficiently secured; is
handier and simpler in its action, and can be attached much quicker than by the
present methods of construction.

I, JAMES RANKIN GO William Street, Anderston, Glasgow, in the County of
Lanark, Boilermaker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN FURNACE GRATES to be as follows:-
My improvements in Furnace Grates consist in the fire bars B. B. B. being
contained in two rectangular frames A. C. D. E. & F. G. H. K. capable of rotation
round two axes R. S., X. X. which at front of flue bear in a bracket L. M. bolted to
plate T. and are carried at the back by bearings V. V. in the bridge plate. The
frames are fixed in the horizontal position by pins P. P. which passing through plate T.
& bracket L. M. enter corresponding holes in the ends of frames. The axes are
prolonged at the front and having square ends the frames can be rotated by
withdrawing P. P. and applying a lever to the axes. One end of bars B. B. B. is
carried by a rod O. O. near the centro of frame while the other is bevilled & has a
corresponding bearing Q. in the end of frame. The bars are secured at the frame
ends by cover plates U. U. & the bearing of axes at the bridge are covered by plate Z,
upon which rests the ordinary brick portion of the bridge. The frames slope down-
wards from furnace mouth to bridge.
