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 objects of my invention are,
Firstly, to make a composition paint that will not corrode when subjected to
water and secondly, that will render the material coated waterproof.

resin
steatite and
lamp black
5 or instead of lamp black as stated I may use any other coloring to suit the
proportion of which, will be according to the shade of color required.
These ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and subjected to a heat of
212 degrees Fahrenheit, at which temperature the admixture remains for a period
of thirty (30) minutes, and then allowed to stand for forty-eight (48) hours.
It is now strained through a sieve, and finally ground with an ordinary paint
mill but prior to being used it is again stirred to obtain the proper consistency.
The material to be treated with my composition paint must receive two coats.
For the first coat I dilute the ingredients herein mentioned with 4 gallons of
spirits of wine. It may be applied with an ordinary paint brush or the material
may be submerged in it, after which it is momentarily exposed to a temperature of
about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
For the second coat I use the ingredients as previously described and apply it in
the same way as for the first coat but in this instance I do not expose it to any
heat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is,

EDWARD BROWN 222 Lozells Road, Birmingham Glass Cutter do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I place across the sole of the boot strips of metal about one eight of an inch
by one fourth at about one inch apart. These have a sufficient number of holes
to allow them being firmly nailed or screwed to the sole of the boot. These strips
are bevelled off on two sides-the narrowest side being placed on the sole & the-
widest opposite it. Strips of leather bevelled on each edge are forced into the
spaces between the metal strips-& all trimd off to the shape of the boot sole. Two
of the metal strips may be placed together-to permit the bending of the sole which
takes place in walking.
The metal strips may be connected by a center one-as the back bone conuects
the ribs. The object of this invention is to allow of those portions of the second
sole (composed of the metal & leather strips) to be replaced as they wear away.
Thus, if the center or any other leather strip has got thin, it is drawn out & a
new one substituted. The leather strips may have a small nail driven in them to
further assist holding them in their position. The same arrangement applys to
the heel of the boot.

Improvements in and relating to Knife-sharpeners.
I, CARL HEINRICH SIGISMUND STORTLANDER, of 19, Grimm, Hamburg in
the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to knife-sharpeners, and the object of the same is to
provide means for producing a smooth enduring cutting edge of the knife.
I attain this object by the arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying
drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved knife-sharpener.
Figure 2 is a side elevation and
Figure 3 a horizontal section of Figure 1.
Figure 4, illustrates the mode of the application of the sharpener.
Figures 5 and 6 show modifications.
a a are two discs of steel, agate or similar hard material which are arranged
within a holder bin such a manner, that their circumferences are elastically pressed
against each other. The discs are connected to the holder b by means of bolts c c¹
extending through the eyes of a spring d placed in front of the discs a a', however
one of these bolts should be guided within a slot 1 of one arm of the holder b,
to render the disc a' capable of approaching the other disc a under the tendency of
the spring d.
The holder b may be provided either with a handle e, Figures 1-4 or with a sole
plate e (Figure 6) to be attached by screws or like means to a table or other
stationary object, but I prefer to provide the same with an eye e³ (Figure 5) for
attaching the knife-sharpener to a key-ring.
When using the knife-sharpener the cutting edge of the knife has to be placed
between the two discs and drawn from one end to the other in a direction parallel
to the axes of the discs in order to obtain a smooth cutting edge. But in cases
where a mere grinding effect is required the cutting edge of the knife should be
held in a more inclined position to the face of the discs a a' as is illustrated by
Figure 4 of the drawing.
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. A knife sharpener consisting of two discs arranged in one plane one beside
the other in such a manner, that the circumference of the same may be pressed
against each other substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, in a knife sharpener of two sharpening discs arranged in one
plane so that the circumferences touch each other, a holder to which the former
are attached by bolts, and a spring tending to press the discs against each other,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

wheel at the top. The horizontal spindle or shaft H is also mounted in the
sliding frame E and is provided with the bevil wheel which gears with the
wheelf on the spindle Fand upon this shaft H the handles K and K' are mounted
in such a manner that by the turning of the handles the spindle F is revolved.
The spindle F is provided with the socket f into which the bit M fits the screw_m¹
being provided to fix it. When the bit M is thus operated the moveable frame E is
drawn down as the bit enters the timber and for withdrawing the bit the toothed
wheel P is provided to slide on the shaft H with the continuous keyway /³ to
allow of the toothed wheel P being pushed along and made to engage with the
toothed rack R as seen in Figure 3 the toothed rack being fixed to the main
frame A so that as the handle is turned the moveable frame E is raised and the bit
withdrawn until the catch e' on the moveable frame engages with the spring catch a³
on the fixed frame A which retains the moveable frame up until ready for boring
the next hole upon which the spring catch a³ is released by hand and the
wheel P disengaged from the rack R the machine being then ready for boring
as before described. The base B may be projected a sufficient distance to
enable the operator to sit across it and thereby keep the machine firm while being
operated.
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 improvements in boring machines substantially as and for the purpose herein
set forth and shewn upon the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Lock Nuts.
I ROBERT LETHBRIDGE TAPSCOTT of 62 Croxteth Road, Liverpool in the
County of Lancaster Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 means whereby screw nuts may be
prevented from working loose. For this purpose I make a screw nut with a screw
thread cut on part of its outer surface, of opposite character to that cut on the
screw bolt and I also make another screw nut to work on it. This invention
relates particularly to my application for Patent dated 31st January 1891, and
numbered 1782.
On the accompanying drawings the arrangement is shown with a screw bolt
holding two plates together.
Figure 1. shows the nuts on the bolt screwed down to the plates and holding
them together.
Figure 2. is a section showing one screw nut working on the other screw nut.
Figure 3. shows the nut with the screw thread cut on part of its outer
surface.
Figure 1 shows the direction of the screw thread on the bolt, a V from right to
left, and Figure 3 shows the direction of the screw thread on the nut, from left to
right; the direction of these screw threads must always be different.
The different parts are denoted by the following letters, screw nuts, X. Z.
and Y, screw bolt and head, a. b. V, plates to be held together by the bolt, W. W.,
washer between the bolt head and plate, U, bearing of nut X on nut Z, I j and
m. n, bearing of nut Z on plate W, Op and st, space between nuts X. Z and Y,
kjeci and lmfDd, space, between nuts Z. Y and plate W, Gpq 9. and Hsrh,
contact of mut Z with nut Y, e G and H, part of nut Y having the nut
faces CD fe, part of outer surface of nut Y' having a screw thread cut on
it, e f H G.
In applying my invention the bolt is put through the holes in the plates and the
nut Yis screwed onto the bolt and near to the plate W, then the nut Z is screwed
on to the nut Y and down to the plate W and tightened so as to force the
plates W. W. together and when it is screwed down as far as it will go, nut X is
put on the bolt and screwed down tight against nut Z; care being taken that nut Y
shall retain the spaces kje ci and lm D d between it and nut X; also G p g 9,
and Hsrh between it and the plate Was shown in Figure 2.
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 combination of screw nuts substantially as and for the purpose herein described
and shown upon the drawings.

New or Improved Article of Food.
I, GEORGE WALDSCHMITT of 4 High Street, Wavertree in the County of
Lancaster, 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:-
This invention has for its object a new or improved article of food, and may
be used as a substitute for sandwiches to which it is in every way superior.
In carrying out my invention, I comminute raw meat either in a meat mincing
machine or otherwise until it is very fine, with or without the fat. This meat is
placed in fancy or common bread dough, the latter entirely surrounding it. It
can be in one lump or in a series of lumps, or in some cases, it can be intimately
mixed with or enclosed by the dough and the whole, if desired, again surrounded
by a thin stratum of fancy dough. It is then baked in the ordinary manner.
The
material so constructed can be made in any desirable sbape, such as long rolls,
horse-shoe shaped rolls, small loaves or the like.
Furthermore, in some cases, I may make the article comparatively thick and
then carefully flatten it out afterwards before baking. The material can be either
done hot or allowed to cool first, in which state it can be sliced in any desired
manner. An article of food made in this way is much more wholesonic and
digestible than a meat pie made of paste.
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. As a new article of food, the combination of bread with meat, manufactured
substantially as described.
2. The process of manufacture, which consists in finely mincing raw meat,
and surrounding balls or masses of this material with bread dough, and baking
the same.
3. A bread formed of a mixture of minced meat and bread dough, the whole
suitably baked, substantially as described.

An Improved Lock Nut.
JOSEPH WAGSTAFFE RADFORD 8 Kirkwhite Street Nottingham Joiner do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct nuts in such a manner as to prevent
their working loose by vibration or intermittant strains when screwed on the bolts.
In forming my invention to perfection I construct the screwthreaded hole in the
nut at a slight radius or curve on a paralell to its own axis maintaining as nearly
as possible a uniform thread, and equal diameter or size in the hole throughout.
Thus it will be seen the nut is so constructed that it may be turned freely on the
thread of the bolt until sufficient of the curve or radius is engaged to cause the nut
to bind tightly on the bolt.
Where it is nessicary to frequently remove these nuts I may form them in such a
manner on the outer sides as to allow the nut to be more elastic when the curved
hole is being passed over the thread of the bolt.
Dated this 22nd day of January 1892.

An Improved Box or Receptacle for Keeping Cigars, Biscuits, and
other substances Dry.
I FRANCIS HERBERT MASON of No. 25 Margaretta Terrace Oakley Street
Chelsea in the County of Middlesex Metallurgist, 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 of a box or receptacle divided into two parts by a
perforated diaphragm and having a lid or cover. In one compartment of the box
or receptacle a suitable desiccating agent is placed. In the other compartment
are placed the substances which are to be kept dry. The desiccating agent in the
one compartment keeps the atmosphere on both sides of the perforated diaphragm
perfectly dry and thus the substances in the other compartment are always kept
dry. For the desiccating agent I may use calcium chloride zinc chloride or calcium
oxide or any other article suitable for desiccating the particular substance which is
to be kept dry. The invention may be used for the purpose of keeping in a dry
state biscuits or similar articles of food or tea or coffee or cigars and it may also be
used for keeping gunpowder dry. Care must of course be taken not to employ any
agent which will damage or render noxious the articles which are to be kept dry.
The box or receptacle may be made of any suitable material which will resist the
action of the desiccating agent employed and should be so made as when closed to
be air-tight or nearly air-tight.
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 construction and use of a box or receptacle substantially as and for the
Durnoses hereinbefore described.
