I, WILLIAM FRANCIS DREW, of Hanley, in the County of Stafford, Managing
Director of the Old Hall Earthenware Company Limited, Hanley aforesaid, 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 my invention is to manufacture soup plates for the table in an
improved manner. In carrying out my invention I provide in any convenient part
of the bottom of the soup plate, but preferably near the side, a sunk portion or
well," sufficiently large to allow an ordinary spoon to traverse the same with ease,
and raise the soup therein from such well. The well being so formed in the bottom
of the plate, causes a corresponding projection below the outside or under-side of
the plate, and in order to obviate the inconvenience which would otherwise arise
therefrom I provide externally, on the underside of the plate, one, two, or more
projections, so arranged that the plate will always stand "fair" on the table, without
any tendency to tilt on one side. I prefer to make the well of an elliptical form,
but do not confine myself to that or any other form, as its shape and position may
be varied. And in order that my said invention may be particularly ascertained
and described, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which
similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a plan of the plate, as usually made, and Fig. 2 is a section on the

MANUFACTURE OF SOAP PARTICULARLY ADAPTED FOR THE REMOVAL OF WARTS,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The chief object of my Invention is to manufacture a soap which will remove
warts from the skin.
I attain this object by the addition of Marshmallow as an ingredient in the
manufacture of soap. The Marshmallow may be used in the form of an ointment
or as a liquid extract, infusion, or otherwise.
The soap may be made in any of the ordinary well known methods and I propose
to add 1 lb (one pound) of the ointment or other preparation of Marshmallow
to every 7 lbs (seven pounds) of soap but I do bind myself to this or any other
proportion.
A suitable soap for toilet purposes may be made according to my Invention by
the addition of one pound of ointment, or other preparation, of Marshmallow to
seven pounds of a soap composed of Tallow, Resin, Palm Oil, and Lyes in the
ordinary proportions and the soap may be scented if desired by the addition in
equal parts of Bergamot Oil and Oil of Lemons, or other perfumes.
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 use and application of ointment, liquid extract, infusion, or other preparation,
of Marshmallow as an ingredient in the manufacture of soap for the purpose
specified.
IMPROVED MEANS FOR ELECTRICALLY LIGHTING LAMPS OR THE LIKE
Year: 1886

page_text: We, ALBERT SCHWEIZER, trading under the firm of "Schweizer & Co.," and
SIMON GRUNWALD, both of Copernicus Str. Vienna, Austria, do hereby declare the
nature of our Invention for "IMPROVED MEANS FOR ELECTRICALLY LIGHTING LAMPS
OR THE LIKE," 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 electrical igniting devices in com-
bination with the ordinary house telegraph connections. In order to apply our
improved electrical igniting device, we either employ a third connecting wire
running from the element, as represented in Figure 1, or we insert a resistance in
the telegraph connection in advance of the connection with the alarm signal, as
represented in Figure 2, so that the house connection can be used direct.
A benzine light, a, is suspended in appropriate position, that is to say, the saine
is placed loosely in a shell or receptacle, b, so that the light can be readily
removed, the said shell or receptacle being arranged to turn on the fulcrum, c.
If the cord, d, Fig. 1, is drawn downwards or pressure exerted on the lever, e, by
means of the knob, f, Fig. 2 the light, a, will assume a vertical, instead of an
inclined position the rod, g, will press on the knob, h, and the contact be closed.
The electric current will now cause a platinum coil, i, to glow so that the candle
is ignited by the same.
In this way a number of igniting devices can be operated by the battery of the
house telegraph and can be arranged in any desired room.
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 :-
The combination of an electrical igniting device with the house telegraph
connection, either by adding a third wire to the connection, or by inserting a
resistance in the connection in advance of the alarm signal, for igniting a movably
suspended benzine light by means of a platinum coil when the contact has been
made by tension on a cord or by pressure on a suitable knob, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth in the foregoing specification and shown in the accom-
panying drawing.

do hereby declaro 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 improve the quality of the rollers of flax-
spinning frames especially of those used for spinning fine yarns in which it is
desirable that the surfaces of the bosses on the drawing rollers should be equally
dense all round and free from cracks and flaws of all kinds which might cut the fibres
of the material and weaken or roughen the thread.
I construct roller shafts of flax spinning frames of iron steel or other suitable
material turned up and I cast the bosses for fluting with their intermediate cylinders
separately of brass or other suitable material and I bore them out to fit the roller shaft
on which I drive them each boss with its intermediate cylinder separately..
The bosses with their intermediate cylinders being by preference cast under pressure
then bored out and driven or shrunk on the roller shaft after being heated; they are
then turned up and fluted and may be fastened with pins through their intermediate
cylinders into the roller shaft.
I sometimes construct the bosses placing them in the centre of their intermediate
cylinders sometimes I construct them placing them partly on one side of their inter-
mediate cylinders and sometimes I construct them placing them at one end of their
intermediate cylinders and in order that my said invention may be more fully under-
stood I shall now proceed to refer to the drawings upon the sheet hereunto annexed
the same letters of reference indicating the same or corresponding parts of my apparatus
throughout all the figures.

statement:-
This invention consists of the combination of a wire coil with a perforated tube the
tube being surrounded by the coil and both enclosed nearly to the top in a tube with
unperforated walls or sides which fits into the wick tube of the lamp. The perforated
inner tube regulates the amount of air admitted to the coil which passes thence in a
heated state to the flame of the lamp; it also answers the purpose of a pillar to
support the top plate or button spreading the flame.
In the drawings of this invention
Figure 1 is a side view of the coil inner perforated tube and outer tube.
Figure 2 is a vertical section of the entire lamp wherein the coil and perforated
tube shown in Figure 1 are drawn in elevation.
A is a wire coil designed for the purpose of retaining the heat imparted to it by
the flame of the lamp and so supplying the air which passes over it to the flame in a
highly heated condition.
C is a perforated tube the upper part of which is surrounded by the coil and acts
as a regulator in admitting the air from below through its perforations to the coil.
This coil is attached to the tube at top by pins a and in like manner at the bottom
and they are both partially enclosed in and attached to an outer unperforated tube D
which acts as an envelope and also as a guide for facilitating the insertion of the coil
and perforated tube in the wick tube of the lamp.
B is a circular top plate or button covering the upper ends of the coil and perforated
tube.

page_text: The outer air passes upwards to the flame through the central opening I of
perforated tube C and passes out through the perforations therein, when coming in
contact with the heated surface of the coil A it strikes the flame in a highly heated
condition the volume of air being regulated by the perforations in tube and the open
spaces between the wires of the coil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the same
is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
In an argand lamp the combination of a wire coil A perforated central tube C,

the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :—
This invention serves by means of a small cigar holder which in diameter is not
thicker than a lead pencil to smoke cigars of any size to the very end.
is provided with a
This holder shown in the accompanying drawings has the advantage that in con-
sequence of its small dimensions it occupies very little room and can therefore be very
comfortably put in the waistcoat or other pocket while being an economy to every
smoker of cigars because they can be smoked down to the very end.
The holder consists of a tube a which at its lower end
screw thread g and which tube a runs into a pointed metal tube h.
Over this metal tube ha metal band or cap d catches the screw thread of which is
entirely covered by that of the tube a. When the cigar holder is used the metal
band d is screwed so far back that the metal tube which is provided with a pointed
opening c projects. The point of the metal tube is now driven into the cigar so far
that the pointed opening c of the tube h is also completely driven into and is
covered by the cigar.
The cigar smoke then finds its way through the little opening c into the metal tube h
and thence into the tube a. When the cigar holder is not in use the metal cap is
screwed back so that the point of the tube is completely withdrawn into the
metal cap d Thus no injury can be done to the clothes or pocket.

be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to those Tyres that are made to receive India rubber or other
elastic substance and consist in making said Tyres of a circular section and thicker at
the bottom of the groove than at the two sides and the groove deeper than a half
circle when the rubber is laid into the groove or channel I press the sides of the
groove over the rubber which is circular and thereby secures it in the groove. I
prefer to close in the sides of the groove by apparatus patented by me Jan. 7th 1885
No. 222 but other means may be employed. In the accompanying Drawings I
represent a Tyre made according to my invention Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the
Tyre e with the rubber a. c enclosed Fig. 2 is a section of the same through m. n.
shewing the Tyre closed in on the rubber and Fig. 3 is another section of the same
shewing the rubber b. d ready for closing.
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
Making Tyres of a circular section in such a way that the sides of the groove may
be closed when cold on the rubber substantially as and for the purpose set forth and
described.

I WIHELM MICHALK of the town of Deuben near Dresden, Saxony in the
Empire of Germany Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of my 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 an improved metallic fastening for the leather tips of
billiard cues.
The leather tips of billiard cues are generally attached by means of glue or cement,
which however proves to be insufficient as the same not only often springs off and
thus cause loss of leather but also often disturb the game besides considerable time
being required for gluing or cementing the said tips to the stick.
All these difficulties are overcome by employing my improved metallic attachment
and possesses the great advantage that the leather will not spring off and when the
same is worn out can be replaced by a new leather without delay.
Figs. 1. 3 & 5 are elevations of the upper end of a cue with leather tip. Figs. 2
and 4 are vertical sections. Fig. 3* a horizontal section of the same on the line C. D.
A metallic or other suitable cap 6 attached to the upper end of the cue a is at its
upper part made of two pieces and the piece c fixed to the part 6 by means of a
screw so that the annular projection d will be pressed into the groove d¹ of the
leather and thus the tip firmly clamped.
In order to be able to employ the leather tips at present in use and still prevent
the same from springing off I employ the following device as represented in
Figs. 4 & 5.
For the wooden end of the cue g I apply a metallic or other suitable cap with
massive top and a series of points or pins i, preferably arranged in a circle onto
which the leather k is driven and by means of which and the annular arrangement of
the same the leather will be firmly held in position.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim & desire to
secure by Letters Patent is —
1. A billiard cue leather lip with mechanical attachment to the cue by means of
the cap b, part c, screw e & annular projection d substantially as described in the
foregoing specification, and shown in the accompanying drawing.
2. The cue leather with groove d¹ for receiving the annular projection d
substantially as described in the foregoing specification and shown in the
accompanying drawing.
3. The attachment of the leather k to the cue by means of the cap h with points or
pins substantially as described in the foregoing specification, and shown in the
accompanying drawing.

I, MATTHIAS WILLARD of 9 Commercial Road Upperton Eastbourne in the County
of Sussex Greengrocers Assistant do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN PERAMBULATORS to be as follows:-
To perform my invention I place a second handle close to one or both of the main
ones, attached by a cord to a bar with weight in centre, sliding vertically in suitable
grooves directly over the main axle of the perambulator having pauls at each end,
these pauls engage with ratchet wheels fastened on the box of the wheels of the
perambulator on the releasing of the second handle before mentioned, thus preventing
the aforesaid wheels from revolving and consequently stopping the perambulator from
moving backward or forward.
On the handle being again pulled to the bar, the rod with the pauls attached is
raised, the wheels can then turn and the perambulator can be moved.

page_text: I MATTHIAS WILLARD of 9 Commercial Road Upperton Eastbourne in the County
of Sussex Greengrocer 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 said Invention for preventing Accidents with Perambulators, consists of the
employment of an automatic break which is always in gear when the Perambulator
is unattended.
I fix the driving or leading wheels to a revolving spindle or axle A. Fig. 2 upon
which I fix by means of a key wedge or pin a cogged wheel B Fig. 2, or I fix to the
ordinary wheel revolving round the ordinary fixed axle a similar cogged wheel, or I
fix upon the periphery or at any convenient distance between the Box and the
periphery of wheel (either fixed or loose upon the axle) a cogged wheel or I fix at
convenient distances round such box or wheel cogs or spurs to compose such cogged
wheel. I also affix to the Carriage or Ironwork of same a hinged and rivetted pall C
Fig. 2 & 3 so fixed as to fall automatically into the spaces between the cogs or spurs
thus preventing the rotation of the axle or wheels. The releasing gear consists of a
pivotted lever D Fig. 2, hung by the side of the pall lever and slotted so as to raise
the same by means of the pin E Fig. 2, also a loop handle G Fig. 1, in conjunction
with the ordinary handle H Fig. 1, connected with the lever D by a cord, wire, or
chain F. Fig. 1. The attendant must therefore hold the loop handle against and with
the ordinary handle in order to keep the pall out of gear and the loop handle dropping
into a pendant position when the perambulator is unattended causes the pall to fall
into gear and thereby stops the perambulator from moving upon inclined or hilly
roads and thus prevents accidents.
Having thus particularly described my said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that what my claim is
1. An automatic break for the prevention of accidents with perambulators, by
checking the action of the wheels thereof.

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 to be applied to Brass or other metal oil lamps, hereinafter described
consists of two Reservoirs, one large (a), the other small (b), connected together by a
pipo (c) either straight or bent. The large one is tho Receiving Reservoir with
cover (F). The small ono is the Wick Reservoir, to which is fitted an immovable
burner (d) with a downward prolonged wick tube E.
The oil is first poured into the Receiving Reservoir and it then runs through the
pipe which is fitted to the bottom part of this Reservoir, into the Wick Reservoir at
the other end, the pipe being fitted into it about the centre. There is by this arrango-
ment always the same quantity of oil in the Wick-Reservoir as long as oil remains in
the Receiving one, which latter can at any time be replenished without interfering
with the light.
