Improvement in Air-tight Provision Receptacles suitable for Use
with Sterilizing Apparatus.
I, JOHANN WECK, Merchant, of Oeflingen, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Ger-
many, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
may be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
This invention relates to pots and jars of glass or earthen-ware which are used for
sterilizing and preserving meat and other articles of food, and more particularly to
the lids of flat rimmed glass jars.
As represented by the accompanying drawing, the lid is arched in the centre and
provided with a flat rim r, which corresponds to the flat rim or flange r of the recep-
tacle, and is separated from the latter by a ring g of india rubber or other packing
material adapted to form an air-tight joint.
In the process of sterilizing by heat, the air contained in the food receptacle is
driven out or rarified and then the lid firmly pressed upon the rim. Subsequently
the lid can be removed by introducing a knife blade or other instrument between the
packing ring and the glass, so as to admit air.
Owing to the arched or bulged shape of the lid, there is no danger of its being
crushed, which frequently occurs in the case of ordinary glass lids.
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
claim is:-
A flat rimmed receptacle for sterilizing and preserving articles of food, having a
flat rimmed and bulged glass lid, in order to form a tight joint without being liable
to fracture, substantially as described.

hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a new and improved food for cattle
"oil-bran."
consumption which I may term
In manufacturing cattle food according to my improved method a suitable
quantity of bran is mixed with oil of herring. The mixing is effected by
mechanical means, the bran and the oil being introduced into the mixing machine
simultaneously. The oil is preferably introduced in the form of spray or by means
of spreading jets or roses. After being treated in the mixing machine for a short
period the bran will have absorbed all the oil, and the mass will get into a state
of dry meal which is not sticky.
I do not restrict myself to the use of any particular construction of mixing
machine as any suitable type of machine capable of carrying out the manufacture
according to my improved method may be employed.

A Sliding Perforated Candle-stick.
WILLIAM WHITE, 8, Sunny View, Argoed, near Blackwood, Monmouthshire, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-;
In the bottom plate of the candle-stick are firmly fixed two metal pillars. On
these a metal case, the bottom of which is perforated, slides up or down. This
metal case, which has on the upper side an aperture to admit the candle, contains
a bell-mouthed spring of self-hardening steel. The spring grips the candle.
Riveted to the top of the pillars is a small metal plate with an aperture sufficient
to admit the candle, which is thus held steady by the spring and this plate. To
insert the candle neither spring nor candle need be handled. The candle is simply
pushed through the upper plate at the top of the pillars into the metal case and is
gripped by the spring. When the candle has ceased to burn there is no grease
about the working parts, for the heat, generated by the candle as it burns out,
is sufficient to melt the adjacent grease, which then falls down through the perfora-
tions to the centre of the bottom plate.

A Sliding Feriorated Candle-stick.
I, WILLIAM WHITE, 8, Sunny View, Argoed, near Blackwood, Monmouthshire,
Colliery Engine-winder, 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:-
To a candle-bottom (form immaterial) are fastened two metal pillars (figured ]
on drawings) on which slides a bell-mouthed metal case (C) which contains the
candle. This case is perforated (F) that all grease may fall to the centre of the
bottom plate, and is furnished with a grip-spring or, as at E on drawing, with
cutters projecting from the sides—to hold the candle firm. The case is attached to
two small hollow bars (D) through which pass the pillars, and is prevented from
sliding down of its own accord by a small invisible spiral spring (Fig. 2, G), or
by a small screw. To the top of the pillars is fastened a metal ring (A) which
gives additional steadiness to the candle. The nature of the invention will readily
be understood from the annexed drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents the complete
candlestick, Fig. 2 a vertical section showing the attachment of the holder to the
pillars, and Fig. 3 a cross section through the holder.

Improvements in Albums.
I, JEAN MINTEN, Merchant, of 11, Volgersweg, Hanover, 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 relates to albums for holding post-cards, photographs and
the like, and has for its object to provide an album that shall protect the corners
of the cards from being bent whilst the leaves of the album are rendered service-
able for cards and pictures of various sizes and forms according to requirements.
In the accompanying drawing:-
Fig. 1 shows an album leaf for the reception of cards bearing illustrations
occupying a considerable width of space.
Fig. 2 is a section along the line A. B in such leaf.
Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of an album leaf for the reception of cards.
bearing illustrations occupying considerable height or width of space.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3 showing how the leaf may be adapted to
photos of different size.
The album, as shown in Fig. 1 and 3 is composed of several sheets, furnished
with a suitable wrapper and bound up. The sheets serving for the reception
of the cards or pictures are each composed of three layers of drawing paper,
gummed or pasted together. The middle layer a is entire, and serves as support
for the cards or pictures. The two other layers are so gummed or pasted
on to the layer a that the space bordered by rows of dashes remains hollow, the
rows of dashes indicating the parts of which are gummed or pasted down.
The layers b are stamped out to correspond with the size of the cards or pictures
which they are to receive, so that incisions or open spaces e are produced in
which the cards are inserted in such a manner that their corners lie under the
corners and are thus protected against bending.
Fig. 3 represents an album leaf b₁ which is arranged for the reception of cards
bearing illustrations occupying considerable height and width of space. For
this purpose fillets g are allowed to remain in the open spaces or incisions e, and
which according to requirement are removed as shown in Fig. 4.
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. An album for post cards, photographs and the like the characteristic feature
of which is that the leaves serving for the reception of the pictures are composed
each of three layers of drawing paper a, b, b1 fastened together, of which the
two outer ones b and b are furnished with incisions or openings, which either corre-
spond with the size of the pictures to be inserted or become suitable for pictures
of different sizes and forms, after removal of the fillets g arranged in the incisions
or openings e.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Automatic Gas-lighting Devices.
I, HUGO BORCHARDT, of 62, Koniggratzer Strasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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:
Automatic gas-lighting devices in which the opening and closing of the gas
valve is effected by means of an expansion wire heated from a jet flame, possess
the disadvantage of the wire becoming carbonized after a time through being in
direct contact with the burning gas and perhaps also in other ways becomes
damaged and therefore requires frequent regulation as to tension.
In order to obviate this defect I provide an arrangement whereby the expansion
wire is enclosed in an insulating carrier of porcelain, biscuit, clay or other suitable
material and is thereby protected from the injurious action of the burning gas.
The accompanying drawing is a vertical section of parts representing my inven-
tion applied to an automatic gas-lighting device of the character shown and
described in my Specification of Letters Patent No. 2288 of the year 1897.
Referring to the drawing, a represents the expansion wire enclosed in a porcelain
carrier b and secured at the upper end thereof. This carrier b is fixed in a sleeve c¹
carried by a sleeve c supported on the end of a screw threaded pin d which by
screwing through the bracket e enables said sleeve c¹ to be raised and lowered in
order to regulate the tension of the expansion wire a.
The bracket e also carries the lighting burner which is lighted as is well known
by means of a platinum sponge k secured to a carrier i. The expansion wire a is
connected at its lower end to a spring controlled rod y located in the tube f and
this rod 9 actuates the gas valve in the manner described in the specification
herein before referred to.
In all other respects the construction and operation of the improved automatic
gas-lighting device are analogous to those described in the before mentioned
specification.
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 an automatic gas-lighting device in which an expansible body heated by
the burner and communicating its motion to an intermediate mechanism, auto-
matically opens the gas-valve, an insulating tubular carrier within which the
expansible body is held and enclosed for the purpose of protecting it from the
injurious effect of direct contact with the flame substantially as herein set forth.
2. The improved automatic gas-lighting device constructed substantially as
herein set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

A Compound for Automatically Sealing Punctures in
Pneumatic Tires.
I, FRED. B. PARKS, 137, Prescott Street, in the City of Grand Rapids, in the
County of Kent and State of Michigan, one of the United States of America,
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:―
In the accompanying drawing, which I deem necessary to fully illustrate the
mechanical action of my invention, Fig. 1 is a transverse vertical section of a
pneumatic tire showing the distribution of vegetable seeds, which form an im-
portant element of the invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same;
and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a can containing a quantity of the compound.
In the manufacture of this compound I use, as a vehicle to support and
distribute the vegetable seed b, glucose in large quantities, impregnated with a
small quantity of glycerine, say 21 per centum, and mix with this a sufficient
quantity of fine grass, or other vegetable seed, as b, preferably of bi-conical form,
to thoroughly impregnate the vehicle in which it is held in suspension.
When a sufficient amount of this compound is injected into a tire, the tire
is made to revolve so that the compound may distribute itself over the entire
inner surface of the tire, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, so that if a puncture
occurs in any place in the tire there will be sure to be seed near to be forced in
before a sufficient amount of air can escape to materially affect the resiliency
of the tire.
When a nail punctures a tire the inner end of the puncture is thrown beyond
the inner surface and exposes a ragged edge, with the inner surface of the
puncture exposed so that a seed, if fine enough and of a proper form, will wedge
between it and the nail, so that when the nail is withdrawn the seed will be
forced into the puncture and will dam it so that, with the aid of the glucose
and glycerine, it will be impossible for any large amount of air to escape.
When the nail B enters the tyre A the seed C adheres to it, as indicated at b
in Fig. 1. At a, in Fig. 2, I have shown a puncture, after the nail is with-
drawn, for the purpose of indicating the position of the seed, as at b¹. A is the
tyre, C the seed.
In Fig. 3 D represents the can and C represents the condition of the compound
when prepared for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The herein described composition of matter, consisting of glucose, glycerine,
and fine vegetable seeds, substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. The herein described composition of matter, consisting of glucose, glycerine,
and fine bi-conical seeds, substantially as shown and described, and for the
purpose set forth.

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to
the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say:
This invention relates to a cover or top adapted to be applied to an ordinary
cycle saddle, which cover on top will materially improve the seating surface of
the saddle, from a hygienic point of view, and can be rapidly and easily secured
in place.
My invention will be readily understood from the accompanyying drawings, in
which:
Fig. 1 is a plan of the saddle cover or top,
Fig. 2 a side elevation, and
Fig. 3 a front elevation thereof.
My improved saddle cover or top comprises two soft padded side portions 1
and 2 which are connected throughout their length by a flexible or elastic central
or intermediate piece. These side portions and the central piece are so arranged
that the saddle cover or top corresponds in shape to an ordinary cycle saddle.
The central or intermediate piece is considerably thinner than the side portions,
so that the full weight of the rider's body is borne by the seat bones upon the
said padded side portions, thus effectually protecting the more sensitive parts of
the seat.
To the central piece is secured a fixing piece or lug 3, say of T-shape in cross
section, which serves to keep the cover or top in place on the saddle. This piece 3,
which is suitably sewn, or otherwise fastened, in place, and preferably covered
with leather, is adapted to fit into the usual opening in saddles of the ordinary
type, so that the said cover or 'top is rigidly connected to the saddle proper.
Said cover or top is furthermore securely held in position upon the saddle by
straps 4 and 5, or by any other suitable means.
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 cover or top for cycle saddles, comprising two soft padded side portions
connected to a thin central or intermediate piece in such a way as to leave a deep
recess or groove between them, a fixing piece secured to the underside of such
TD 077

page_text: central piece, and means for attaching said cover or top to an ordinary cycle
saddle, substantially as described.
2. My improved cover or top for cycle saddles, substantially as bereinbefore
described with reference to the annexed drawings.

In so-called flock-paper-hanging, wool and other similar fibrous materials have
hitherto been used for the production of the rough surface.
As however, these materials are expensive, the price of the hangings made in this
manner was proportionately high.
In order to reduce the cost of production and thereby also the price, sawdust or
wood-ineal, which is much cheaper, is used for producing the rough surface that
gives the hanging a woolly appearance, and in fact makes it look exactly like
real woollen tapestry. Herein lies the invention, which forms the object of the
present application.
The process of producing the hangings will be seen from the accompanying
drawing, Fig. 1 being a front view and Fig. 2 a side view of a piece of the
material.
The wood-meal M, freed from all additional ingredients is applied as wood-dust, to
the base or ground material P, that is to say, it is put on like a powder, and then
dried, the material P being coated with some adhesive substance for retain-
ing it.
The hangings can be produced in any tint, monochrome, variegated, figured, or
otherwise, the wood-meal being applied to the base or ground material, either
coloured or not coloured.
In whatever manner the hanging, otherwise, may be produced, the essential
feature of the invention lies in the fact that the rough surface which gives the
hanging a woolly appearance, is produced by means of a layer of saw-dust.
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 flock-paper-hanging, the distinguishing feature of which is that, in
order to reduce the expense of production, the woolly surface is produced by means of
a layer of wood-meal M, applied to the base or ground material P which gives the
hanging the appearance of real wool tapestry.

page_text: comb. This double operation of stripping the loose fibres and restoring them to the
carding surface is thus automatic and continuous in its nature.
أن
The comb is built up of lamina or plates which form the teeth of the comb
and are mounted on a rod or shaft. The teeth are spaced or kept apart by distance
pieces or plates c¹ or . The rod may be turned in its bearings so as to set the
comb at any desired angle at which it is secured by the pinching screw c. In
the forms shown in Figs. 2 and 4 circular distance pieces are used. In Figs. 5
and 6 we show distance pieces which have an inclined plane which possesses the
advantage of preventing the accumulation and wedging of the loose fibres between
the teeth of the comb and facilitating their forward passage. In the drawings the
comb is shown carried in divided brackets connected by bolts and provided
with a regulating screw c for the purpose of setting and adjustment as described
with reference to the corresponding supports for the rotary brush.
In the accompanying drawings only so much of a carding engine the rotary
brush and the comb is shown as is necessary for purposes of description.
The comb C and the brush extend across the whole width of the cylinder and are
provided with supporting brackets at each side of the machine as will be well
understood.
Although we have by way of example shown and described the best methods at
present known to us of constructing mounting and operating the separate parts we
wish it to be understood that our said invention is not limited to such details of
construction of the separate parts which may be varied or modified in many ways
to suit particular machines or circumstances.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is: -
In a carding engine the combination in proximity to a carding surface of a
rotary brush and a comb for automatically and continuously stripping or clearing
the fly or loose fibres from and restoring the same to the carding surface sub-
stantially as set forth and shown.

Improved Attachment for Saucers and the like for Holding Cakes or other Substances or Articles.
Year: 1898

page_text: |Improved Attachment for Saucers and the like for Holding Cakes or
other Substances or Articles.
I, MARY GOFFEY, of Hougoumont House, Wellington Street, Waterloo, near
Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, 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 reference being had to
the accompanying drawings:-
The object of this invention is to provide attachments for saucers, and the like for
holding cakes, bread, or other substances or articles so as to dispense with the use of
a separate plate for holding the said cakes or the like and to allow of a saucer, teacup,
and cakes or other articles being all carried by one hand, leaving the other hand free
for use as required.
For this purpose I combine with a saucer or the like an attachment consisting of
a holder or bracket provided with lugs or projections clips or fasteners by means of
which the holder or bracket can be attached to the said saucer or the like. The said
lugs or clips are in the form of, or provided with, springs, set screws or like devices
for firmly securing the holder or bracket to the saucer.
Fig. 1 is a sectional perspective view illustrative of my invention.
a is a saucer, b
is the holder or bracket, preferably of inetal, for holding cakes, &c. c are lugs or
clips on the bracket b. The lugs or clips are flexible so as to serve as springs, and
are passed over the edge of the saucer as shown so as to firmly grip the edge of the
saucer and so secure the bracket 6 thereto.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the underside of the bracket showing the lugs or
clips.
Fig. 3 is a side view of a bracket showing a modification of clip or fastener. Here

I do not confine myself to the particular arrangements described as it will be
obvious that many modifications of brackets and clips may be made without departing
from 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 :-
First. A holder or bracket provided with lugs, clips or like devices for attaching
such holder or bracket to a saucer or the like substantially as set forth.
Second. The combination with a saucer or the like of a holder or bracket

page_text: obtain the largest possible supporting surface for the slides, which is increased by
a support or strengthening stay 57 inserted between the frame plates 1 and 2,
said stay serving at the same time to stiffen considerably the plates 1 and 2.
In this way the parts forming the supporting surface are precluded from yield-
ing however strong be the pressure exercised by the punch.
Thus, while in punching apparatus destined for use in making holes in small
bars and provided with wide openings 58 (Figs. 1 and 6) for introducing the work,
both slides 10 and 11 are to be adjusted so as to bring both flanges of a girder y
under the punch without having to turn the girder, this is impossible in large
girders for the reasons stated above, and the girder must be turned when it is
desired to make holes in its right hand flange y (Fig. 8).
As only one of the slides 10 and 11 is horizontally adjustable in punching
machines for heavy girders, the bolt z can be held and guided in-a bearing 56
(Fig. 8) secured between the frame-plates 1 and 2.
For making holes in the webs of I-joists or the like, a slide 36 (Figs. 6 and 7)
is provided at both ends with open slots 53 and 54, which slide carries a cylindrical
die and rests upon the top faces of the frame plates 1 and 2.
The fixing of this slide 36" is effected by means of eye-bolts 55 which are pivoted
about bolts 3 of the frame plates 1 and 2. This arrangement is shown in Fig. 6
in elevation, partly in section, and in Fig. 7 in plan.
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. Apparatus for use in punching girders and the like comprising cylindrical
dies corresponding to the inner angle of the flange of the article to be provided
with holes and held in slides 10 and 11 by a screw key engaging with a recess in
the circumference of the die and by a set screw to prevent rotary movement the
slides being mounted directly on the walls 1 and 2 of the apparatus and held by
bolts 28 and 29 passing through their slotted parts 22 and 23 and being adapted
to be moved laterally by means of screws 50 with heads 51 and nuts 52, said screws
engaging with nuts 49, the slides being secured in desired position against horizontal
movement by means of a set screw between the frame and the outer surface of the
corresponding slide.
2. In punching apparatus of the character described the arrangement for the
purpose of making holes in webs of girders and the like of a die inserted in a
slide-block 36 provided with slots at both ends and resting directly over the open-
ing between the frame walls 1 and 2 for introducing work and fixed in position by
eye-bolts 55 engaging in the slots of the block substantially as described.
3. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete apparatus
for use in punching girders and the like substantially as described and illustrated
in Figures 1 and 2 or in Figures 6 and 7 or in Figure 8 of the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in or relating to Oil Lamps with Movable Burners.
FRANK BOULTON HILL, 207, Vicarage Lane, West Ham, Essex, Watchmaker
and Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The use of my invention is the construction of a lamp having two reservoirs of
different sizes the larger one being fixed either stationary or on a portable con-
trivance supplying a smaller one through piping connected by sockets with only
a sufficiency of oil for lighting such oil never decreasing in quantity until the
larger one is exhausted. The piping being movable on sockets allows the use
of the burner to be placed in any position required for use and thus obviates any
shadow or shade being thrown at any point where not wanted as is unavoidable
in fixed lights or not readily obviated in portable lamps.
T. D. HILL,
p.p. Henry Weaver,
54, Park Road, West Ham.
The construction of an oil lamp having two metal reservoirs of different sizes
the larger one being the supplying reservoir marked A and the smaller one being
the wick container marked B on the top of which is screwed or secured the burner
marked C. The oil from reservoir A is conveyed by a metal conduit pipe
marked D which pipe has at the end before entering the reservoir A a joint
marked E fitting into a socket of a fixed or movable bracket, standard or pendant
arrangement marked F the portion of pipe beyond the point E being soldered
at its entrance into reservoir A at its lowest level, the other end of the conduit
pipe marked D being soldered into the reservoir B at its lowest level whereby
the levels of the flowing oil in the reservoirs A and B are always equal. The
joint marked E is prevented from shifting or unshipping from the socket of the
bracket, standard or pendant marked F by an adjustable screw marked G.

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. A moveable burner that can readily and safely be placed in any required
position where a light is needed.
2. The safe and clean burning of oil by reason of the small reservoir containing
a sufficiency of oil to feed the burner and which being supplied from the larger
reservoir by the conduit tube is never empty until the oil in the larger reservoir
is exhausted, and whereby the supply reservoir being at a distance from the
burner the oil therein does not become overheated and therefore does not give
off inflamable vapour.
3. That the light being movable around a fixed point as from a bracket,
standard, or pendant it can be so placed that it obviates the throwing of any
shade or shadow at the place where the light is wanted as is unavoidable in fixed
lights and not readily obviated in portable lamps.
