page_text: Manufacture of Iron or Steel.
WO JOSEPH BEASLEY formerly of Arnold Villa but now residing at "The Laurels,"
Claremont Road Handsworth near Birmingham, Manufacturer, and ALBERT JOSHUA
WOOD of Providence Iron Works, West Bromwich, Staffordshire, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to he
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to the lining or fettling of puddling or other furnaces as used
in the manufacture of iron and steel. The invention consists essentially in the
utilization of what is known as blast furnace slag or cinder for these purposes.
The application of the invention may best be described with reference to the manu-
facture of puddled iron from the low grades of pig iron, as it is eminently adapted
for this purpose, although the invention may be applied in an analogous manner to
other furnaces.
The blast furnace slag or cinder is preferably crushed or ground, say by iron rollers,
to the size of coarse sand or powder and this is mixed with purple ore or other ground
or pulverized oxide of iron in about the proportion of one third by weight of the
cinder to two thirds of the oxide. The mixture thus formed is used as a fettling or
covering for the inner lining as from time to time may be required.
In lieu of grinding the cinder it may be used in small lumps mixed with the
ordinary fettling or lining materials, and if desired some of the cinder may be from
time to time added to the charge with the other materials used, but this is not essential
to a successful use of the invention.
Although the above proportions of cinder and other materials have produced good
results, we do not of course confine ourselves to them, but vary them according to
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 :-
The application of blast furnace slag or cinder, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth.

declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The Carving Fork Guard and Rest for which we are wishing for the Patent right
is constructed of an ordinary Steel Carving Fork with hole cut out in the shank to
admit of Pillars to which a Thumb Piece and the guard are fixed with a rest under-
neath, the handle would be made of Ivory, Bone, Stag, Self Lip, Buffalo Horn, Pressed
Horn, or any, material used in the trade for Carving Fork handles. The Carving
Fork as drawn in Fig. 2 is at rest but on lifting handle for use the finger is pressed
on top of first Pillar A at point B Fig. 2 it elevates the Guard C Fig. 2 into position
as shown in Fig. 1, the joint D in Fig. 4 then locks fast, then on placing the Fork
down again on rest Fig. 3 which is front view of Pillar A the Guard C drops
down again as in Fig. 2. when lifting for use if handle and Fork are raised into a
perpendicular position as in the Fig. 5 the guard is selfacting.

page_text: We HENRY BIGGIN and FRANCIS HENRY COCKAYNE of Hallamshire Works
Rockingham Street Sheffield trading under the style or firm of Long Hawksley &
Company as Cutlery Manufacturers, 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, and wish to adopt the drawings left
with Provisional Specification :-
The rest Fig. 3 being attached to Pillar A in Fig. 1 acts as a rest for the Fork
and when placed on the table causes the Guard C. Fig. 1 to fall into position and
thus self-closes without the necessity of being put down with the finger as is the case
with ordinary Guard.
When the Fork is raised in the hand to a perpendicular position as in
Fig. 5 the Pillars A A as in Fig. 1 can be pushed down in a slot or hole in
Fork in which the Pillars A A work and thus throw the Guard C. Fig. 1 into
position, when brought into position for use it locks fast and when the Finger is
placed on Pillar A Fig. 1 at Point B Fig. 1 it is impossible for Guard C Fig. 1 to
.slip down & thus perfect safety is insured in carving.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is performed we declare that what we. claim are the
novelties
: Safety.
1st. The Fork only requires to be raised to a perpendicular position and put into
use when the Guard is perfectly safe.
Simplicity.
2nd. Simple of construction no springs to get out of order.

Manufacturer, JAMES FITTON Junior of Eightlands Dewsbury Mungo Manufacturer
and JAMES FENTON of Dewsbury Moor Dewsbury, Blanket Manufacturer all in the
County of York, 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 our Invention is to produce a common Soap for washing paint work,
tins, and tinned iron-ware, and metal articles, for washing dirty hands, and other
similar cleansing purposes; the chief characteristic of such Soap being that in
addition to the common peculiarity of all soaps proper of loosening or dissolving the
matter forming the dirt on articles to be washed it shall have also an absorping action
on greasy matters and an abrading but not scratching action on harder or fast dirt,
and in addition also a polishing effect on metal articles generally.
For this purpose we add to or intimately mix Fuller's Earth with any of the
commoner varieties of Soap during a suitable period in its manufacture.
We do not confine ourselves to any definite proportion between the Fuller's Earth
and the soap, though we find one pound of the former to two pounds of the latter a
suitable proportion for many purposes, as it will be readily evident that a larger or
smaller portion as the case may be is better adapted for some articles, or for the
material which has to be removed in the cleansing or polishing of them.
•
We are well aware that many other substances, such as white peat powder, various
silicates, sulphates and carbonates, Rieselguhr, and many other substances have been
proposed and used for similar or analogous reasons; which may be used in addition
to our proposed use of Fullers Earth, and we do not therefore limit ourselves, to use

page_text: exclusively Fullers Earth either alone or in admixture with soaps, sinco such sub-
stances may for certain articles, or for the removal of certain materials bo
advantageously mixed along with Fuller's in such Soap compound.
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 the manufacture of Soap or Soap compounds,
The admixture (either alone and exclusively, or in addition with other substancos)
of Fuller's Earth, substantially as herein sot forth.

Glass Panels or Plates, such Grounds Serving to Enhance the
Effect of Pictures or Artistic Ornamentations Painted or other-
wise Applied thereon.
I, FLORENCE PALMER, of No. 4 Perham Road, West Kensington, in the County
of Middlesex, 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 an improved method or process for forming back grounds on
the backs of glass panels or plates, such grounds serving to enhance the effect of
artistic ornamentations painted or otherwise applied on the front thereof.
It has been heretofore endeavoured to form the back grounds of pictures or other
artistic ornamentations for glass plates or panels on the front surface thereof and as an
under surface to the picture or ornamentation to be subsequently applied, but these
attempts have failed owing to the impossibility of afterwards painting over such back
grounds. Now according to my invention I apply, by means of a brush, sponge or
the like, suitable oil colours to the back of any glass panel or plate such as those
mounted in a stand, for instance, in one corner of which is affixed a portrait; these
colours forming a back ground which may be suitably shaded from light to dark in
one colour, or may be marbled, mottled, or stippled in one or several colours, or again
may form a sky with blue and white or other colours according to taste and to the
kind of picture or artistic ornamentation painted or otherwise applied on the front of
the said glass panel or plate. The illusion is thus rendered perfect it being impossible
to detect at first sight that the ground thus formed is at the back of the plate, while
the effect of the picture or artistic ornamentation produced on the front of the plate
is greatly enhanced and rendered very attractive.
may also varnish the rear surface of the back ground so as to preserve the same
and prevent them from deteriorating, or I may cover such surface with a sheet of
cardboard, pasteboard, wood or other suitable material conveniently fixed thereto, the
glass thus covered being then mounted on a stand or placed in a suitable frame.

page_text: Having thus 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

Improvements in and relating to Weather Strips of Doors for
Excluding Draughts.
I, EDWARD CAIN of 43 Tentre Street, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed for automatically closing the space between a shut door
and the threshold, to exclude drafts. The weather strip, for this purpose, may be
jointed, or it may slide in brackets, so as to admit of the depression of the said strip,
when closing the door. The weather strip may be raised by the action of a spring or
elastic band, when the door is open. When the door is being closed, one end of a
horizontal bar, connecting together two ✓ shaped levers, is pushed inwards by coming
in contact with an inclined bracket, fixed to the door-post, causing the horizontal arms
of the shaped levers to depress the weather strip, sufficient to close the space
between the door and the threshold.

An Improved Process for Producing Indelible Designs on Celluloid
or like Pyroxiline Compounds.
I, ADOLF BENSINGER of Mannheim in the German Empire, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for "AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PRODUCING
to be as
INDELIBLE DESIGNS ON CELLULOID OR LIKE PYROXILINE COMPOUNDS
follows:-
"
This invention has reference to a process for producing indelible designs on celluloid
or like pyroxiline surfaces by the use of an indelible ink or of indelible colors com-
posed of an aniline color mixed with carbolic or acetic acid.
Hitherto, indelible designs have been produced upon celluloid by printing thereon
with an ink composed of an aniline color mixed with alcohol or ether but in practice
it has been found impracticable to obtain sharply defined designs, since alcohol and
ether do not attack the celluloid with sufficient quickness.

I, ADOLF BENSINGER of Mannheim in the German Empire, 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 :-
This invention relates to the production of indelible designs upon celluloid or like
substance, and the invention consists in impressing or printing thereon in a colour or
ink or colours or inks made by mixing aniline colour with carbolic acid or acetic acid.
The proportions or approximate proportions are 1000 parts by weight of either of the
acids to 5 parts by weight of the aniline colour.
Hitherto, indelible designs upon celluloid surfaces have been produced by printing
thereon with ink made by mixing aniline colour with alcohol or ether, but in practice
it is found impracticable to obtain sharply defined designs since alcohol and ether do
not attack the celluloid with sufficient promptitude.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

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 machines for peeling fruit, potatoes and other like produce
and consists more especially in certain improvements in the means for supporting the
knife whereby the peel may be removed in a more perfect manner than has been
possible with the machines heretofore used.
The improved machine is represented in the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 a ground plan of the machine. Figs. 3 and 4 are
respectively elevation and cross section of the knife holder and knife.
In the frame A which can be secured against a table etc. by means of the clamp m,
is journalled the shaft B which can be turned by crank r and carries the prongs s at
one end upon which is held the fruit or the like F to be peeled.
The peeling is performed by bringing a knife M against the rotating fruit.
The knife is situated at the upper end of a holder H which is provided with the
spindle z by which it is revolvably supported in the bracket a, hinged at c to a second
bracket a arranged hinged at c' to the frame A. A bandle his fixed to the bracket a
for guiding the holder. The knife M. suitably constructed of steel plate swings on
holder Haround pin and has a slit k through which passes the peel separated by the
knife cutting edge as shown in Fig. 4. The knife has a crescent shaped edge t
whilst the upper rearward bent piece thereof acts as a guard to prevent the knife
from cutting into the fruit or the like and adjusts at the same time the thickness of
peel cut off.
In order to peel the fruit or the like on the prongs s, the knife is guided by means
of the handle along the surface of the fruit revolved by crank r, the holder Hadjust-
ing itself in accordance with the shape of the fruit (see Fig. 2 where the holder is
represented in two positions) and the knife moves on the uneven parts of the surface
as shown in Fig. 4. so that the peel can be separated in a perfect, manner from all
parts of the fruit and the amount ent off he also reduced to the smallest. amount.
