Improved Method of Manufacturing Stoneware and the like.
I, FREDERICK SAWYER WINSER of No. 52 Buckingham Palace Road,
London, S. W., Sanitary 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 :-
In carrying out my improved method of manufacturing stoneware, for the
purpose of producing ware which I call Siennow, I take various proportions of
different fireclays according to the colour or tint of the ware to be produced, and
incorporate them with other well known materials such as flint, Cornwall stone, or
china clay, or all of these, so as to produce a close, hard body. The clays are
first carefully pulverized, ground, and sifted through fine sieves, and are then well.
mixed, tempered and gauged, after which the whole body is allowed to remain in
the clay shed until it becomes perfectly homogeneous and "mellow."
It is then taken by the moulder, who further works it on plaster slabs before
shaping it ready for his mould.
The moulds are made of plaster of Paris which on account of its porosity
gradually absorbs moisture from the body, and after romaining about 24 hours in
the mould the article now moulded is stiff enough to be taken out and further
hardened by being placed in a drying room provided for the purpose and when
formed of sufficient stiffoess the articles are carefully knifed, dressed and
finished off.
The articles are now glazed with a mixture composed of 4 parts of Cornwall
stone, 2 parts of whiting and I part of sulphate of lime, and are then deposited in
a hot drying room where they remain for several days until perfectly dry, after
which they are taken forward to the firing oven or kiln and placed therein in
partitions.
By slow degrees the fire is brought to a red and then to a white heat sufficient
to flux the glaze thoroughly and leave the body perfectly hard and clean.
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 manufacture of siennow ware substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: Improved Washing and Cleansing Compound.
FRIEDRICH, LUDWIG BARTELT Keynsham County Somerset Chemical Manufac-
turer does hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I fix or bind Ammonia in washing compounds and Alkalis so that nascent
ammonia is created directly these products are dissolved in water and by that
means greater cleansing power is created.
In carrying out my invention I take such salts of Ammonia as will crystalize
the water during their chemical change with Alkalis or such Alkalis as will
crystalize the water during their chemical changes with salts of Ammonia-by this
means only small fractions of Ammonia are liberated during the chemical changes
and the bulk is fixed by the Alkalis. To these compounds one may add soap or
fatty matter. I prefer to employ in carrying out my invention Sulphate of
Ammonia and Carbonate of Soda or Carbonate of Soda Compounds.
FRIEDRICH LUDWIG BARTELT Keynsham. County Somerset Chemical Manufac-
turer 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 its object to produce washing and cleansing compounds
that when the same come into contact with water they will generate or give off
nascent Ammonia and it possesses advantages in the production of a superior
cleansing power and has a strong tendency to dissolve grease. I have found the
following proportions to work well in practice. I take Carbonate of Soda free of
moisture preferably Eight parts and of a salt of Ammonia preferably sulphate of
Ammonia two parts but these quantities may be varied in accordance with the
strength required. The Carbonate of Soda free of moisture in combination with
a salt of Ammonia crystalizes during the Chemical change any moisture contained
in the salt of Ammonia. By this means only small fractions of Ammonia are
liberated during the Chemical changes and the bulk is fixed by the carbonate of
Soda. It is necessary if one wishes to add to this compound soap or other products
containing moisture, to have such an excess of Carbonate of Soda free of moisture
as will crystalize the moisture contained in such additions.

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:
1st A compound generating or giving off nascent Ammonia when put into or
coming into contact with water, manufactured substantially as and of the ingre-
dients described.
2d The use in the manufacture of a washing and cleansing compound of a car-
bonate of Soda free of moisture and a salt of Ammonia for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Concertinas.
FREDERICK ARCHER HANKS 54 Vernon Road Romford Road E. Traveller
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 concertina so far has been a difficult instrument, and the awkward positions
of the keys have often proved a barrier to learners. This invention rectifies the
awkward parts as the descriptions and drawings hereto attached will explain.
There are seven tones in music viz. CDEFGA & B, and five semitones.
The tones are arranged in their proper order and occupy the two lower rows of
keys with the C's (above each other) under the first finger, and the B's (also above
each other) under the fourth finger of the right hand, while the semitones are
uniformly arranged in the two upper rows, and taking the F* first, will be found
in the same order as on the piano.
One side is bass and is pitched one or two octaves lower than the treble, and
with this exception, both sides are alike; the arrangements of keys are the same,.
and the handles either side are set in the centre, so that the instrument may
be reversed, and with the same fingering, the performer is enabled to obtain
a bass melody with the right hand, and a treble accompaniment with the left.
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,
To have invented a concertina, with both sides alike, so that it may be
reversed.

page_text: An Improvement Relating to wheel Tyres.
I, EDWIN MARTIN, trading as E. Martin and Son, 68, West India Dock Road,
Limehouse, London, Engineer and Coppersmith, 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 construction of Tyres for Cycle and other wheels
from a series of plates of steel cut from the flat with a broad centre and narrowing
ends which I perforate. These plates are then bent into ring shape with the ends
overlapping for a rivet or other attachment to a band by which a series of such can
be affixed to a rim of any kind, the broader part of each ring forming a tread and
having equal resiliency from the usual tempering operation to which each ring is
subjected before being attached to the band.
Each ring is arranged transversely to the circumference of the wheel and in
proximity to form what I may term a continuous band of rings having lateral
compression in succession while travelling, the amount of compression being due to
the weight of the rider or of the load carried with a rebound as the pressure is
removed.
I purpose covering each ring of my continuous band of rings with a fabric such as
tape and then to enclose them in a rubber or other cover which can be a permanent
fixture on my band or as a removable one for attachment to the rim.
My invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the annexed drawings
in which at Figure 1 I show a stamped out. plate A with perforated ends B, B, as
before explained.
Figure 2 represents one of my rings A produced from such a plate with overlapping
ends B, B, rivetted at C. Figure 3 indicates a number of such rings A united by
their rivets C to a band D. Figure 4 shows the amount of distortion each ring A of
my band of continuous rings is subjected to under, say, the weight of a twelve stone
man as a rider, the tread being widened outwardly, thus bringing fresh parts of
the cover into touch with the ground to obtain a somewhat rigid bite and thereby
prevent side slip.
My band of rings set transversely to the circumference of a wheel can from the
flexibility of the band to which they are affixed be readily sprung over the edge
of a rim which for the purpose of using my invention may be much shallower
han usual, there being no tendency for the Tyre to slip off sideways as would be
he case with a Pneumatic if placed on a shallow rim.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
miliant hade for whool Tures a carios of tum vered steel rings set transversely

page_text: to the circumference of a wheel and attached to a band for lodgment in or to a rim,

page_text: I, GEORGE FRANCIS, of Beau Rivage, St. Clements, Jersey, Rentier; do. hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the saine is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
My invention relates to an improved spanner chiefly designed to be used as an
accessory to cycles and the like.
In the spanners heretofore employed a small regulating screw is usually provided
either in the handle or on the side of the same. This arrangement has inconveniences
ns regards the operation and application of such spanners.
With the object of obviating the inconveniences herein before alluded to I have
constructed the improved spanner represented in the accompanying drawing.
In carrying my invention into effect I furnish one jaw A with a round spindle a
which has a flattened portion extending through a corresponding hole in the second
jaw B, and a screw threaded portion adapted to engage with un internal screw thread
formed in the handle C of the spanner. At the rear part of the second jaw B. I
provide an opening,b extending from one side of the jaw to the other so as to
constitute claws. Into this opening the front part c of the handle C formed with.a
recess is first inserted from one side, so that the before-mentioned claws will take into
such recess, whereupon the screw threaded portion of the spindle a is caused to
engage with the handle which is thus held in position. By turning the handle C in
one or the other direction the spanner may be opened or closed.
I prefer to form recesses in the inner faces on one side of the two jaws for enabling
the nuts to be gripped by four sides instead of two, as indicated.
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
A spanner comprising the jaw A with a spindle a, the jaw B with an opening b, in
combination with the handle C engaging with the said opening and screw threaded
portion of the spindle, as specified and shown.

Improved Vaginal Atomizer.
I, AUGUST LAUER of 32 Neuenburger Strasse Berlin, S.W., Empire of Germany,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The present invention consists of an atomizer for spraying powder or other
medicaments into the vagina and the invention consists in forming the head of
the atomizer in two or more sections. The invention further consists in arranging
the perforations of the atomizer head in such manner as to prevent their becoming
stopped up when the device is passed into the vagina. According to the present
invention the perforations or slots in the atomizer head may be arranged at any
desired angle to the longitudinal axis of the said head.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible refer-
ence is had to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference
denote similar parts throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through the whole device.
Fig. 2 a similar section showing the head detached and
Fig. 3 a front end elevation of the head.
The atomizer head consists of two sections a and b suitably screwed together.
The former section a is slightly conical towards the front of the head and is
recessed as at d at its forward end, the bottom of said recess being provided with
perforations or slots as at e and f, which may be arranged crosswise and may have
their forward ends inclined towards each other. The other section 6 is provided
with a shoulder against which the section a closes and behind the shoulder with
an annular groove c in which radially arranged perforations or slots 9 are formed,
said slots opening into the central boring of the head. The part 6 is suitably
attached to a flexible tube h¹, having at its lower end a spoon like fitting k, adapted
to engage advantageously by friction-with the sleeve h carrying a back pressure
valve m and the rubber ball i. From the above description it will be evident,
that in use the orifices of the atomizer head are prevented from immediate contact
with the vagina.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. An atomizer having a head formed of two or more sections said head being
provided with perforations of slots of any form and inclination, said perforations
or slots being prevented from immediate contact with the parts to be operated on,
substantially as described.
2. In combination with the atomizer covered by Claim 1, the arrangement of a

Improvements in Wrappers for Newspapers and the like.
I, GEORGE HOWARD ANDERSON of 244 West Lake Street, Chicago, U.S.A.,
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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a wrapper for newspapers and the like
that can be easily opened without the wrapped article being liable to be torn.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 shews the wrapper of this invention opened
out flat and Fig. 2 shows the same in perspective view with a periodical wrapped
in it.
A is the body of the wrapper, B its gummed edge, C a thread or string gummed
to the wrapper and dried to fix it. The edges of the wrapper are flush with the
ends of the thread or string. D are short notches or slits made in the edges of the
wrapper at the extremities of the thread, or only one edge may be provided with a
notch. The notches allow of the ends of the thread being easily grasped to tear
the wrapper open across its entire width.
The thread or string being located on the same side as the gummed fastening
edge and adjacent thereto, it is only necessary to pull the thread through one
thickness of the wrapper, and as the edges of the notches or slits do not join each
other and the part of the wrapper in line with the thread is strengthened by the
Jatter, there is no probability that the wrapper will be accidentally torn at this
part.
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 :-
:―
A wrapper for newspapers, periodicals and the like, comprising a body portion
having a thread or string attached thereto and arranged in proximity to and
parallel with one end of said body portion and extending transversely across the
same and terminating flush with the edges thereof, said body portion being provided
with slits in its edges adjacent to the ends of the thread or string thus forming a
partially detached portion which remains attached to the thread or string,
substantially as described and shewn.

WILHELM NEINHAUS, of Eschweiler, in the Empire of Germany, Manager, 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 present invention relates to a horizontal coke oven or furnace in which
bye-products are obtained and which as compared to the furnaces used hitherto has
the advantage of completely avoiding the insufficient coking of parts of the coal.
To this end the first bridge or partition wall at the points of combustion a on
both sides or each end of the furnace is only a slight distance say 200 mm. from
the front wall, all the other bridges or partition walls being wider say 500 mm..
apart. The result of this arrangement is that the fire gases before entering
the longitudinal wall come in contact with the outer end of the wall and
strongly heat it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to he performed I declare that what I

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Method of, and Composition for, Polishing Glass.
I, BENJAMIN SWINDEN 37 St. Barnabas Road, City of Sheffield, Managing
Director of Glass Works do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same has to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to a novel method of polishing glass, and applies more
particularly to cut and engraved glass, and also to the composition to be used for
that purpose.
The object of the invention is to expedite such process, and to substitute a simple
process for one requiring skilled labour.
At the present time it is the custom in polishing the cut surfaces of glass work
which have previously been brought to a suitably prepared surface or finish for
this process, to use a putty or like preparation, with rubbers of cork or wood,
revolving brushes or dollies, and thus by hand labour or mechanically to produce
a polished surface.
In carrying out my invention I produce the desired polish upon such cut glass
by the application thereto of an acid compound or liquid either by dipping the
article into such acid compound, or in other cases by applying such acid compound
to the parts by means of a suitable instrument and afterwards washing it off and
drying the surface.
The compound consists of the following acids mixed together, the proportions
being varied according to the quality of the glass to be operated upon.
Hydrofluoric Acid, 3 parts for hard glass.
Hydrofluoric Acid, or 2 parts for soft glass.
Oil of Vitriol, 2 parts for either hard or soft glass.
Muriatic Acid, 2 parts for hard glass.
Muriatic Acid, 1 part for soft glass.
These proportions may vary to some extent, and for intermediate qualities of
glass between hard and soft, the proportions would be varied accordingly.
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 :-
1. The method of polishing the surface of cut glass by the application of an
acid compound as herein before described.
2. In the polishing of glass, the use of an acid compound consisting of Hydro-
fluoric Acid, Oil of Vitriol, and Muriatic Acid, as before described and set forth.

Improvements in Lasting Jacks.
We HARRY WILLIAM MOBBS, and ALFRED LEWIS, both of Kettering in the County
of Northampton, Boot Last 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 :-
The present invention has reference to jacks or supports for holding the lasts of
boots and shoes during lasting, heeling, and other operations.
The object of our invention is to provide a jack of simple construction, which will
admit of more ready and convenient adjustment, to suit the requirements of the
operator, than heretofore.
In the accompanying drawings we have shown, in Fig. 1, a side elevation of a jack
embodying our improvements, holding a last in position; and in Fig. 2 a front view,
without the last.
A is a vertical pillar, with a bottom pin a, which drops into a socket B, and
is capable of rotation therein. b'is a set screw for fixing the pillar against rotation,
when desired.
The pillar A, which is by preference oval in cross section, and is provided with a.
rib or feather a¹ on one side, is in two parts. The upper part A* is jointed to the
main portion, and terminates in a pinc for receiving the last C. a* is a small
compression spring for forcing the jointed portion A* into the upright portion seen
at Fig. 1.
Upon the pillar A, slides the collar d of the arm D, which is thus capable of
adjustment vertically, the set screw being furnished, to fix the arm at any desired
height on the pillar A. The arm D carries the toe support E, which slides to
and fro in a horizontal direction thereon, and can be fixed, where required, by the
set screw e.
In adjusting the jack for use, the support E is first moved to the proper position on
the arm D, according to the length of the last, and the arm is then elevated until the
toe of the last rests upon the summit of the toe support E.
The top of the support is, as usual, provided with a suitable pad, to prevent injury
to the boot upper on the last. The spring a, forcing over the jointed part A* of the
pillar A, holds the last firmly down, but will, by yielding, admit of the canting up of
the last, if required, to suit the convenience of the operator, this canting or tipping
being effected by a slight additional raising of the arm D.
It will thus be seen that a jack is provided, capable of rotation, when required,
and accurately adjustable in every direction, to suit the work in hand.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The herein before described adjustable last-supporting jack, comprising a vertical
pillar, a horizontally arranged arm sliding vertically thereon, and a toe support
capable of movement in a horizontal direction upon the arm, all arranged and
operating substantially as set forth.

Improvements connected with the Production of Striped and
otherwise Figured Woven Pile Fabrics.
I, LEVI FISH, of Spa Mill, Preston, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton
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 the production of a woven fabric composed of weft pile
stripes or fancy raised pile figures and the novelty of my said invention consists in
making the binding picks which form the ground for the weft pile of a different colour
or material to that forming the weft pile stripes or fancy raised figures. The weft
pile stripes or fancy raised figures may for instance be composed of cotton and the
plain or ornamental stripes and the binding picks which hold the weft pile may
be of silk mohair worsted linen or other yarn or of a mixture or combination
of such materials. By this means I am enabled to produce a variety of ornamental
effects not heretofore possible where yarn of the same material or colour has been
employed for both the weft pile and the fancy raised pile figures and the ground-
work or binding threads which hold the weft pile. Thus a striped or fancy
figured fabric may be produced in which the weft pile is of one colour and the
intermediate fabric and the ground or binding picks for holding the weft pile of
quite a different colour or material. I employ a single shuttle for putting in the
weft pile loops and one two or more additional shuttles for introducing one or
more different kinds of weft required to produce the non-pile stripes and the founda-
tion or binding picks for the weft pile. The placing of the several shuttles in
the required order opposite the shuttle race may be effected by means of ordinary
circular drop box or other convenient shuttle box mechanism. To produce a
plain stripe of one solid colour in conjunction with a pile stripe of another colour
I employ yarns of corresponding colour and material for both the warp and the
weft.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
The above described improvements in the production of striped and otherwise
figured woven pile fabrics whereby the yarn employed for putting in the weft pile
picks is of one colour or material and the yarn employed for the groundwork or
binding picks for holding the weft pile is of another colour or material substantially
as above described for the purpose set forth.
