I JOHN SANDERS 3 St. John's Gardens Queen's Cresent Haverstock Hill, N.W.,
General Tin Plate Worker 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 also had to the accompanying sheet
of explanatory drawings :-
1-
My improvements are devised with a view to the prevention of the oil contained
within the reservoir of the lamp coming into contact with the flame of the burner
should the lamp be accidentally overturned, and at the same time allowing of the
escape of any gas or foul air which may accumulate within the reservoir of the
lamp.
In accordance with my Invention I provide within the reservoir A of the lamp a
cylinder B, the upper portion of which is formed with a shoulder C terminating in the
chamber or receptacle D. A second cylinder E-for the reception of the lamp
burner-open at both ends, is suitably disposed in the upper portion of the chamber D,
being preferably attached, by any convenient means, to the opening formed for the
reception of the lamp burner. A tube F, passing from the interior of the cylinder E
to the exterior of the casing of the chamber D as shown, permits of the free escape of
any gas or foul air which may accumulate; and also affords a means for the ready
ingress of fresh or external air to promote combustion.
The oil contained within the reservoir A is conveyed to the cylinder B by means of
coiled or spiral tubes G ; which latter extend round the interior of the reservoir, and
are provided with inlet openings a, situated in the reservoir A, the outlet openings b
communicating with the interior of the cylinder B. Said cylinder B-which contains
the oil in which the cotton of the burner is immersed-is closed at its lower end by a
suitable cap c or equivalent, to facilitate the ready withdrawal, when required, of the
oil contained within said cylinder. An opening, and closing cap d, is provided to
allow of the filling of the reservoir A.
Now, presuming that the reservoir has been overturned and is on its side, it will be
seen that the oil within the cylinder B will flow into the chamber or receptacle D, the

page_text: cylinder E hereinbefore referred to, serving to prevent the oil from passing out of the
chamber D to the lamp burner. It will also be obvious that when the reservoir is still
in this position the oil will be prevented from gaining access from the reservoir A to
the cylinder B through the coiled or spiral tubes G before mentioned.
From the foregoing it will be seen that as no oil can escape to the burner, and foul
air or gas cannot accumulate, firing or explosion cannot occur.
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 improved lamp, constructed substantially as and for the purposes herein set
forth..

I, HERMAN OTTO ALBERT EMIL GRÜNBAUM, Dentist, of 17 Mark Street, West
Ham Lane Stratford, in the County of Essex, England 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:
To carry this invention into effect I solidify Petroleum by the admixture of glutinous
or gelatinous matter such as glue made from fish by the process of boiling until it
obtains the consistency of a stiff paste, into which I admix, if required, all kinds of
cheap and suitable combustibles, such as Sawdust, Lime Carbon, turf, textile fibres,
bark or leaves of trees, or other combustible rubbish obtainable, in order to effect a
slow combustion as also for the purpose of counteracting that peculiar and offensive
odour common with petroleum. This composition I compress into suitable shape or
forms in order to render it practical for the purpose of cooking, heating and lighting.
The aforesaid solidified Petroleum paste is affording thus a safer-non explosive-
method of transporting the oil and permits on arrival of having the oil extracted again
for commercial purposes, the residue to be used as a fuel by itself or may be mixed with
other combustible waste.
The proportion of gelatinous or glutinous substances to the oil for making this paste
are in no way restricted depending entirely on the special requirements, that is to say,
if the oil-paste be intended for a longer transport, a higher percentage of the afore
mentioned ingredients may be preferable, while in the case of this solidified oil-paste
being intended only as fuel, pure and simple for cooking, lighting and heating, then
from four to six per cent. of the aforesaid ingredients are sufficient.
The admixture of combustible waste with this paste, afore mentioned, for economical

page_text: and other purposes is entirely optional and may be in proportion of three to four parts
of solids to one part of solidified oil-paste.
I wish it therefore to be understood that what I claim is
1.) The mode or modes of solidifying petroleum or Paraffin oil into paste in the
manner and for the purpose afore described.
2.) The mode or modes of admixing combustibles with this paste for the purpose
afore described.
3.) The mode or modes of making petroleum fuel for the purpose and in manners as
afore described.

Fig. 2, is an elevation in section of ash-pit or dust bin showing my invention
applied therein for sifting or riddling the ashes and cinders.
Fig. 3, is a front elevation of my invention.
...
According to my invention I employ a metallic screen or grid in the form of an
inverted Vor U or other suitable shape, such screen or grid forming inclined
planes A and B, and being provided with a metallic tray, ashes or dust box C. The
said screen or grid may be loose upon the said tray, ashes or dust box, or a fixture
thereto as preferred. When, a fixture thereto a door or slide may be provided in the
said tray, ashes or dust box so as to allow the ashes to be easily and readily emptied
therefrom, or one. of the sides or ends of the said tray, ashes or dust box may be
hinged or pivoted for that
purpose.
The said screen or grid may be made of wire, or of one or two metallic plates
having the necessary holes or openings cut out for allowing the ashes to drop through
into the receptacle beneath.
As the ashes and cinders drop from the fireplace H onto the inclined planes A and B,
the ashes drop through the openings into the receptacle beneath, whilst the cinders
roll down the said planes; and thus the ashes and cinders are separated auto-
matically.
When applied for sifting and riddling within the ash pit D, see Fig. 2, the screen
or grid E is placed upon a bin, box or other receptacle F, and the ashes and cinders
are fed into the hopper 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 would have it understood that
I lay no claim to the inclined plane A by itself, as I am aware that metallic screens
or grids having such for the purpose aforesaid are not new, but I declare that what
1 do claim is :-
1. The combination of the inclined planes (with or without the dust box) as and
for the purpose shown and described.
2. The construction and arrangement of cinder sifter having double inclined planes

My Invention consists of an alarm Tea Kettle for the purpose of indicating when
the kettle boils, by this means the dangerous tests now used are dispensed with viz.
of taking lighted paper & matches to the fire place, also of holding the kettle towards
the window to get the light upon the escaping steam. For this purpose I use as an
Indicator a "Whistle" "Rattle' Gong "Horn" "Musical Note" or anything
which answers the purpose of creating an alarm or indicating when the water boils,
which can be fitted to the ordinary Household Kettle if necessary. This Indicator
can be fixed in the spout "on the lid ""Handle" or anywhere else either inside or
outside of the kettle for the purpose above described or made as part of the kettle.
The appliance is so simple that it requires no mechanism or confinement of steam &
consequently is quite safe as the steam has free exit both by spout & lid and is used
exactly as an ordinary Household Kettle.
I claim an indicating Tea Kettle for the purpose of creating an alarm or indicating
when the water boils.

page_text: FREDERICK WATTS (Clerk) 8 Little North Street Grove Road London N.W.
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 an improved Tea Kettle, which produces a sound when
the water boils.
This is produced in the following manner The lid of the kettle is without its
usual knob and in its place viz., the centre, is a small hole about the eighth of an
inch in diameter, over this outside, I place a concave piece of metal about three
quarter's of an inch in diameter having also in its centre a hole the same size as in
the lid, so that the two holes viz. the one in the lid and the one in the piece of metal
correspond exactly one over the other, then on the water boiling the steam rushes
through this and creates a note similar to a Bird which denotes the water is boiling.
This sounding part can be made any shape, or of anything, serving to create, any.
noise, capable of denoting when the fluid within the kettle is boiling, and it can bo
made in any part of the kettlo which sounding part can be covered by a dome or
anything serving to protect the hands from the issuing steam and it can also be used
as a means to remove the lid, although this is not absolutely necessary.
As this is not a fitting but is made as part of the kettle I find it best to use a
round kettle, to ensure of a better fitting lid, though the steam has as free an exit as
other kettles, no confinement being necessary.
I can also make them in kettles of all shapes & kinds.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner it is performed, I declare that what I claim is
purpose
A kettle, that produces a noise by some means as herein mentioned for the
of creating a noise and denoting thereby that the contents of the kettle is boiling.

WILLIAM Ross Culloden Brick & Tileworks Inverness Brick Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for a new & improved form of brick for
building purposes to be as follows:-
This Brick to be considerably larger than the ordinary brick & to measure twelve
inches long, six inches broad & four and a half inches thick or thereby and to be
formed with two or more openings running through section of it and to have a series
of groves running along its outer sides parallel and transversing one another so as
the better to fit it to retain a coating of plaster, cement &c. I hold that this brick is
an improvement on any now in use for many building purposes because its improved
shape & convenient size enable it to be more quickly & cheaply built than common
bricks; because the openings through it make it very much lighter & consequently
cheaper in production & carriage than common bricks while they also afford more
warmth in building construction; Because the groves on the sides make it specially
adapted for the firm retention of coatings and beddings of plaster, Lime
Cement &c.

Flat Carding Engine.
CHARLES HEYWOOD 28 Campbell Street Moses Gate Farnworth Lancashire Spinning
Master in a cotton mill 1 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 is an improvement in the grinding of the Flats, on the Revolving
Flat Carding Engine. So that I may be able to grind the Flats from the same side
as they enter upon the Flexable.
My invention is shown in the Drawing by an additional pulley A and shaft con-
nected thereto and brackets B. C. D. The revolving Flats pass over the pulley A and
between the brackets B and thence round the pulley E on to the Flexable. The
pulley A and the brackets B. C. and D. are rights and lefts. The part I claim to be
new is the pulley A and shaft connected and the brackets B. C. D. The novelty of the
invention claimed is to grind all the Flats equil and to enable the Carding Engine to
fulfil its duty, and the duty of the Carding Engine is to straighten the fibres of the
cotton.
The revolving Flats consist of about 104 flat pieces of Iron about 1" wide and
about 46" long, and upon each of these a quantity of very fine wire is fastened. And
the Flats are chained together making them into an endless chain, revolving on about
three pulleys and it is to grind these wires all equil that 1 request you to grant me
a patent.
The flats pass over the pulley A and round the pulley E, and the Bracket B pressing
against the Flats from the outside, the flats will then work round the circular part of
the bracket B and when they are in that position, the Grinding roller which works on

page_text: the Bracket D will be grinding the wires from the outside. By this mode of Grinding
I shall be able to get the wires all equil.
The parts which are new and I want a patent upon, is the pulley A and the Brackets
BC and D. and the shaft connected to the pulley A.
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

page_text: I ABRAM CHARLES HERTS of 5 Ridgmount Street London W.C. Merchant and
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:-
My Invention consists in fitting each end of a dress or corset steel and sometimes
one or both edges thereof with a capping made of metal or india rubber so as to
prevent the steel working through and destroying the fabric of the dress or corset as
now occurs with the present dress and corset steels.
When the capping is made of metal it is turned over the edge of the dress or
corset steel and clamped down so as to firmly secure the same thereto while an eyelet
hole is drilled through each end thereof and likewise through the steel to allow of its
being readily stitched to the fabric of the dress or corset.
When such capping is made of india rubber it is fitted over each end of the steel
and secured by a brass or other suitable eyelet which is clamped down on the rubber
capping thereby securely fastening the same in position.

Fig. 3 shews a portion of a dress or corset steel fitted with a metal capping in the
manner above described. a is the steel- the metal capping having perforated
ends . Fig. 4 shews a detail view of such metal capping.
If required the capping may have perforations formed therein along the edge as
well as at each end to allow of its being securely fastened to the steel and stitched in
the dress.
My invention combines the essential advantages of simplicity utility and economy.
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
Fitting a dress or corset steel with a metallic or rubber capping substantially in the
manner and for the purpose herein before described and shewn.

I, LEOPOLD WACKS of 16 Darville Road, Stoke Newington in the County of
Middlesex, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention is designed to provide an inexpensive form of fuel, by utilizing small
or dust coal or pit-slack.
I effect this by mixing with the coal a sufficient quantity of ordinary damp clay to
form a colierent mass which when tightly pressed into a mould of suitable size will
retain its form, and can be stacked in the form of bricks or briquettes.
'
When these briquettes are dried they can be burnt on an ordinary fire in the usual
way.
