Improvements in Bottles.
I, ARTHUR JOHN Cor of Rodney Yard Corn Market Derby in the County of
Derby Wine and Spirit Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in and
by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide a bottle for use in the bottling of beers,
wines or other like liquids having a sediment or crust and my invention is more
particularly designed to prevent "bubbling" and the wash upon the bottom of the
bottle consequent upon the said "bubbling" and also to enable the heavier portions
or sediment to be retained in a part of the bottle when the contents are being
poured out.
In carrying out my invention I form my bottle or receptacle with the neck or
outlet on one side or away from the centre of the said bottle or receptacle and with
the opposite or upper portion or "swell" of the bottle sharply curved so as to form a
kind of pocket for the settlement of any sediment.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation, and Figure 2 a section of my improved bottle. The
neck or outlet A is placed at one side of the main portion of the bottle B giving a
very slight curve at D for strength and tending to repress "bubbling" and a sharp
curve C on the opposite side to intercept the heavier portion or sediment. When the
liquid is poured out the bottle is held with the sharply curved side C downwards so
that the air may enter the body of the bottle along the slightly curved side D without
bubbling" and by thus preventing the wash upon the lower part of the bottle
consequent upon the said "bubbling" the sediment or crust is disturbed as little as
possible.
The bottle may be manufactured in the ordinary manner, a mould of the required
shape being provided.
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:
In bottles or like receptacles for wines, beers and like liquids the formation of the
bottle or receptacle as and for the purposes described herein and as illustrated in the
accompanying sheet of drawings.

I HENRY JUSTINIAN NEWCOME of Shenley, Hertfordshire, Clergyman 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 insertion in the smoke flue A attached to the stove of an oblong horizontal
sheet iron chamber or case B, formed with a longitudinal partition C in such a manner
that the curront of smoke or heated fumes introduced in the middle length on one
side is diverted and branches right and left to the end, and returns on the other side
of the partition to the outflow pipe D, and thence to the chimney or the external air.
In the centre of the partition an aperture is formed A A, through which the smoke
flows direct through the chamber, but when closed by a sliding sheet E, to which a
rod F is fastened and which projects through the cap G at the end of the chamber,
the smoke is diverted as above described. By the large additional heating surface
thus obtained a large portion of the heat, which would have been otherwise totally
lost is saved, without any additional consumption of fuel. At both ends of the
chamber is a moveable cap G through which the accumulated soot may be swept out,
thereby diminishing the danger of fire in the chimney from a foul flue.
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. An increased heating surface of many feet superficial without a corresponding
length of smoke pipe.
2. The power of bringing the apparatus into action or not whenever desired by
the moveable damper E.
3. The collection of the soot in the chamber and its easy removal through the caps
at the end, and the diminished danger of fire from foul Blues.

Combined Root-cutter with Cart or similar Vehicle.
BENJAMIN WYATT, of Kingweston, Somerton, in the County of Somerset,
Farmer, 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 combining a turnip or other root cutter with an ordinary
farm cart in manner as to be readily detachable therefrom when not required for use.
The root-cutter is of ordinary construction, and is fixed underneath the after part or
tail of the cart, the flooring of which is cut away for a space equal in area to the
trough of the cutter, which opening can be closed by means of a slide when the cart
is required for ordinary purposes. The motive power for the cutter can be supplied
either by hand or by a chain and wheel according as the chopped roots are required
to be collected or scattered.
The accompanying drawing represents a side elevation of a cart, to which a root-
cutter has been applied, A being the feeding-trough and B the circular cutter.
On the shaft of the cutter, is fixed a chain-wheel geared by means of the
chain D with a larger chain-wheel E fixed concentrically to the inner face of the
cart wheel F. G represents the sliding portion of the floor of the cart, partially with-
drawn, to allow the roots to fall into the trough A. Instead of being made to slide,
this portion of the floor may be hinged so that it may be lifted up and allowed to
rest against the tail-board.
The shaft on which the cutter is mounted, is squared at the ends to receive a winch
handle for use when the cart is stationary.
When the cutter is not required, it may either be removed entirely along with the
wheel E or it may be thrown out gear temporarily by merely removing the chain E
which is provided with a disconnecting link for the purpose.
By means of my invention the labour of distributing cut roots over a farm, is
greatly reduced, and as the cutting and distribution are performed at the same time,
the roots are less liable to damage from exposure to the atmosphere.
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 :-
:-
The combination of a root-cutter with a cart or similar vehicle, in manner
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

1 ERNEST PEARMAN of No. 4 Alexandra Road Hemel Hempstead in the County
of Hertford Watchmaker and Coal 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:-
My invention consists of a new method of manufacturing artificial manures by a
mixture of the dross or refuse of esparto and other grasses, straw, rags, wood and
other materials used in the manufacture of paper with road sand or sea sand or any
silicious substances, or powdered phosphate substances, charcoal, soda, soda ash,
recovered soda ash, nitrate of soda, caustic soda, carbonate of soda, sulphuric acid,
nitric acid, spirits of salts, manganese salts, sodium salts, saltpetre, potash, alkali,
and ammonia, in such or any proportions as may be required and then manufacturing
the same into a powder as a manure or manures. It is also an insect destroyer.
With regard to proportions I prefer using about two thirds of the dross or refuse
in the manufacture of paper to about one third of the other ingredients, the
proportions of chemicals and other ingredients vary according to what chemicals
and other things are left in the raw material from the paper makers. I claim that
one of the advantages of the above is the formation of a strong fixed ammonia
namely nitrate of ammonia which is a valuable fertilizer for agricultural, horticultural
and floral purposes.

and HEINRICH FISCHER of 48 Spandauer-strasse, Berlin, aforesaid, 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 invention hereinafter described relates to a new product that is to say to a
chocolate which is thoroughly free from fat is liquid and can be preserved for a very
long time. The new product has the peculiarity that whey or poor milk can be used
in the manufacture such milk having not been hitherto found of any use, so that a
great economy is realized while on the other hand the product can be sold at a very
low price. The chocolate can be preserved a long time in its sterilized state, it
retains its properties in every respect and is enjoyable either cold or warm.
The process of preparing the new chocolate product is as follows:-
In a suitable and hermetically. closed sterilizing apparatus, the whey or poor milk
is first placed and heated to boiling point after which a quantity of cocoa and sugar
mixed in suitable proportions so as to form a homogeneous mass is added, the whole
mixture being heated to a temperature of about 102° C., under suitable pressure and
with exclusion of air. The sterilizing apparatus is then cooled by suitable means
whereby the contents are sterilized.
During the cooling process, the butter contained in the cocoa separates and is
removed from the chocolate by passing the cooled mass through a fine sieve the
meshes of which retain the cocoa butter but allow the chocolate to flow. The latter
which is now free from oil is poured into bottles, in which it can be preserved for as
long a time as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
As a new industrial product, a thoroughly liquid and preservable chocolate free
from fat prepared by means of whey or poor milk, which is mixed after boiling
with a mass composed of cocoa and sugar, heated under pressure at a temperature of
about 102° C. subsequently cooled and passed through a sieve having fine meshes by
which the cocoa-butter is separated from the chocolate and whereby the latter is
thoroughly freed from fat.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, GEORGE WILLIAM SIMS of 61 Roman Road Old Ford, E., turner 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 has for object the prevention of objectionable matters which are
suspended in the tobacco smoke from passing into the mouthpiece of the pipe.
My invention will be more readily understood by reference to the Drawing, which
represents a section of a pipe constructed in accordance therewith.
I bore the stem (H) of the pipe sufficiently widely to admit of the insertion of a
cylindrical prolongation of the mouthpiece. The bore from the bowl (A) has a
tube (B) inserted in it; this tube projects towards the inside of the stem, and fits into
the bore of the cylindrical part above referred to.
I rigidly connect to the mouthpiece (F)-or preferably make in one piece with it-
a cylindrical prolongation (above referred to) which fits the bore of the stem. This
cylinder 1 bore so as to form a wide tube (C) near the end which when in position
will be nearest the bowl. The bore of this tube must be such at the end nearest the
bowl that the projecting tube (B) will fit into it.
I cut away part of one side of this tube as shown in the drawing. I then reduce
the thickness of the cylinder to about one third for a short piece in the part (G).
I make a bore (D) from the shoulder formed when the cylinder is reduced at G
into the side of the tube (C) opposite that out of which I have cut away a part; and
I make a bore (E) at the place shown in the drawing to connect with the bore of the
mouthpiece (F).
The relative proportions of the several parts should be substantially as shown in
the drawing, though they may be slightly varied without affecting my invention. In
use I prefer the side of the tube (C) which has been partly cut away to be towards
the lower part of the stem. When in this position the smoke will be drawn through
the tube (B) into C, depositing part of the suspended matter on the stem where it
is exposed opposite the part cut away from one side of C; it will then pass through D
again depositing deleterious matter in the stem where exposed round G, and
finally will pass through E into the bore of the mouthpiece.
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. The construction of a tobacco pipe in manner substantially as above described.

Fig. 2 a vertical section and
Fig. 3 a horizontal section of a vent peg embodying my invention, while
Fig. 4 shows a modification.
The vessel a, which forms the body of the vent peg, contains a smaller vessel b open
at the bottom and through which passes a central tube e communicating at the lower
end with the interior of the cask, while the upper end communicates with the interior
of the vessel b.
The outer vessel a has at its base an air inlet o from which extends upward a
thin pipe d reaching almost to the top of the vessel a and communicating with the
interior of the same.
If now, liquid is drawn from the cask provided with this vent peg, atmospheric
air enters through the orifice o and is conducted by the pipe d above the level of the
liquid contained in the vessel a.
The air then ascends in the vessel b and passes through the tube é into the cask. If
vapours ascend from the liquid contained in the cask, they act first on the liquid
in the vessel b. As this conical vessel offers at the bottom only a narrow passage,
and the sectional area of the vessel a is much larger than that of b, the pressure in
the vessel a will be comparatively small, so that no ejection of liquid takes place through
the air inlet.
The tube d may be omitted, if the orifice o is made in the top of the vessel a, as
shown by Fig. 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained our invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
:-
A vent peg composed of a vessel a, provided with an air inlet o or tube, and
containing a vessel b, open at the bottom, through which passes a tube e com-
municating with the interior of the cask or other liquid receptacle, substantially
as described.

I, HERBERT POWIS TURNER of 59, Lee High Road Lewisham London S.E.
Confectioner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement thereof that is to say :-
This invention relates to improvements in letters for name, signs and other purposes
and consists in forming the letters and punctuation marks in shallow box form, each
letter being divided into compartments adapted to hold sweets, seeds, tobaccos,
flowers, spices or other articles of commerce indicative of the proprietors business
and capable by judicious grouping of producing an ornamental effect."
My invention will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying
drawing in which Fig. 1 represents the letter A constructed in sheet metal and
divided into compartments a for the reception of the various samples of sweets,
seeds, tobaccos, flowers or other commodities. Fig. 2 represents a full stop and
Fig. 3 a comma both constructed on the same principle. It will be readily seen that
by the use of letters constructed according to my invention the name of the
proprietor and many other trade notices may be effectively and appropriatly
displayed and the attention of the public attracted accordingly. The letters may be
either suspended separately or may be attached to a suitable panel or backing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
The construction of letters in the form of shallow trays or boxes substantially as
and for the purpose herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

J MARY ANNE COWLEY trading as Madame Marie Mona, of Crosby Marown, Isle
of Man Lady 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
:-
For the purpose of my invention I take any kind of material such as gauze linen
or other suitable material and form it into a pad or bandage of any required size and
shape which I impregnate with a combination of chemicals for the purpose of render-
ing the article absorbent and antiseptic and specially applicable to the purpose to
which it is to be applied viz.-for use by women at childbirth or other analogous
purposes. The pad itself is of a kind used and worn generally by women at their
menstrual periods at childbirth and in cases of discharges of a like nature. I construct
it preferably of medicated or absorbent wool or wadding with an admixture of tow
which I enclose in a sheating of transparent gauze or suitable light material to either
end of which I attach a band or bands of any suitable length, of the same or similar
substance, or the same may be in one piece of any suitable length or lengths according
to the build of the wearer. I impregnate the pad with the following mixture, the
various quantities given being calculated to be sufficient to treat one gross of the
pads Tannic Acid ounce, Acid Sulphorosum 30 minims, dissolved in necessary
quantity of alcohol or water adding afterwards to 2 ounces of Ether, this forms a
milky solution. I then add for the purposes of disguising the odour of the other
ingredients, Lavender oil, Lavender water or other perfume most suitable to the
purpose. I do not claim any novelty in the method of making up or fashioning
these pads or bandages or in the means or methods of applying the ingredients to
the same, they being an ordinary article of daily use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is.
The particular combination of two or more of the chemical or medical compounds
here set forth for the purpose of rendering the pads or bandages antiseptic and
absorbent substantially as herein described.

Improved Apparatus for Stripping or Cutting Leather for Welts,
Laces, and the like.
I FRANK MOODY GILMAN of Holly Road Northampton Machine Operator 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 provide an improved apparatus by means of which
the welts of boots and shoes may be easily and readily stripped or cut, said apparatus
being also applicable for cutting strips for leather laces or for other like purposes.
Referring to the accompanying drawing and to the figures and letters of reference
marked thereon
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved leather cutter.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
In carrying out my said invention provide a frame of metal or other suitable
material A preferably of the shape shown, and to the bottom B of this frame A
I attach a projecting scale or measure C. An adjustable guide piece D which can be
regulated by means of a slot E and set screw F is also attached to the frame A.
To the side G of the frame AI fix by means of a set screw FL a knife J placed
diagonally, the point a resting in a slot in the scale or measure C.
To use the instrument the leather to be cut or stripped is inserted between the
guide piece D and the knife J the fingers placed in the loop of the frame and the
apparatus pulled towards the operator thereby cutting or stripping the leather off.
It will be seen that by means of the adjustable guide piece D the width of leather
to be cut can be determined with ease and certainty.
Although I have described herein the apparatus as applied to cutting or stripping
welts of boots and shoes it is obvious that it may be applied to other analagous
purposes such as cutting boot laces or the like.
The apparatus may be made of any desirable size, that shown in the accompanying
drawing being adapted to cut strips of leather of one inch or less, but it may be
constructed to cut strips of any width.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claims is
First: In apparatus or appliance for cutting or stripping leather the use of a
graduated scale such as C in combination with an adjustable guide such as D for the
purpose of determining the width of the leather to be stripped or cut from the skin or
piece substantially as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
Second: The apparatus or appliance for cutting or stripping leather substantially
as herein described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
