We, HENRY SPRING of 11 Market Place, Brigg, in the County of Lincolnshire,
Chemist, and ALGERNON KIRKHAM of Broughton near Brigg, in the County of
Lincolnshire, 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 our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in tobacco pipes, and
which invention has for its object to provide a pipe by means of which the whole of
the tobacco placed therein may be consumed without waste.
Hitherto in pipes as at present in use, the tobacco at the bottom of the bowl soon
becomes moist and unpleasant to smoke. In this case, the tobacco is never wholly
consumed and that which remains at the bottom of the bowl is usually thrown away
thus causing a certain amount of waste.
By this our invention which may be called the "breechloader" pipe the objections
above referred to, are entirely overcome, and we now proceed to describe said
invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and the figures and
letters marked thereon, similar letters indicating corresponding parts throughout.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of our improved pipe, and Fig. 2 is a plan of same.
Fig 3 is a side elevation of the plug of our improved pipe, and Fig. 4 is a front
elevation of same.
A, denotes the bowl of the pipe, and B, represents the stem. The bowl A is made
open at both ends, the ends of which may be slightly tapered to receive the plug C,
which may be also tapered and made to fit tightly against the shoulder c.
The plug C may however be screwed as shewn in Fig. 3, and be screwed home. into
the ends of the bowl A, which has been previously tapped with a corresponding
screw-thread.
The operation of our improved pipe is as follows:-
When the tobacco in the bowl A has been consumed to within a short distance
of the plug C, said plug C may be removed and inserted in the top end of the bowl A.

page_text: The pipe is now inverted, and a fresh supply of tobacco is supplied into the lower
end of the bowl and which tobacco in turn is removed to the upper end of bowl.
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 a tobacco pipe, the bowl A of said pipe open at both ends, and said ends adapted
to receive the plug C, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth
and illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

Improvement in Weaving Bars or Lease Rods for Looms.
Year: 1888

page_text: Improvement in Weaving Bars or Lease Rods for Looms.
WILLIAM JUNGBLUTH, Manufacturer of Burscheid, Germany, does hereby declare
the nature of his invention for IMPROVEMENT IN WEAVING BARS OR LEASE RODS FOR
LOOMS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-—
Hitherto the weaving bars or lease rods for looms have been made of wood, glass
or massive iron-rods, and have a circular formed cross-section. The ones made of
wood soon suffer damage by use, furrows being formed in them in which the thread
stretchs itself or is broken up.
The weaving bars made of glass are liable easily to be broken, without regard to a
considerable higher price.
The solid weaving bars or lease rods for looms made of metal, on the contrary,
possess the disadvantage of being too heavy.
In order to combine the advantages of the metal weaving bars or lease rods for
looms-viz. durability and an even surface which cannot be easily injured-with the
lightness of the wooden one; I manufacture the weaving bars with almost elliptical
cross-section of zinc plates or any other metal, and hollow as illustrated in the
accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 and 2 are views.
Figure 3 is a section on the line a-b (Fig. 2) and Figure 4 a section on the
line c-d (Fig. 2).
It is preferable to make the flat and hollow weaving bars of two equal parts, which
are bend up inward (on one side only), as shown in the figure 4, and the flat edge
of the one plate-piece is to be soldered on the turned in edge of the other plate-piece,
and vice versa.
Of course the weaving bar can also be made of a single piece of plate brought in
a suitable form and properly soldered.
The eyelet-holes are fitted with mails.
The flat and almost elliptical .cross-section of the weaving bar is also an important
advantage because the thread touches a larger part of the surface of the elliptical

page_text: weaving bar than is possible on the surface of the circular weaving bar, by what
means the thread is conducted to the reeds in more secure manner than till now.
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 flat and hollow weaving bar or lease rod for looms made of metal and with an
almost elliptical cross-section.

Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
If
My invention consists of a revolving socket cutter provided with two, three or
more blades and mounted on a suitable bracket to which a pinion is fitted. This
pinion gears into a hand wheel which is attached to the bracket by a screw nut
and is worked by a crank or other suitable handle and thus imparts a revolving
motion to the cutter and causes it to shape the pencil to the desired form.
desired two or more cutters may be mounted on the bracket so that two or more
pencils may be sharpened at the same time. The bracket is fitted at its lower
end with a plate or shoulder piece and a thumbscrew working in a second plate so as
to allow of the bracket being readily fixed in any convenient position. This is
effected by placing the plate or shoulder piece on the surface of the table bench or
elsewhere and then screwing up the thumbscrew so as to firmly wedge the bracket to
the table. My invention is at once simple and effective and will be found extremely
convenient for the purpose for which it is designed.

cotton, can be dyed direct without requiring previous boiling. Up to the present time the
boiling of the cotton, whether in the unspun form or as yarn or woven fabric, was
indispensably necessary before dyeing, as there existed no means for obviating this
expensive process.
The said compound or mordant is composed as follows:-
100 Kilog (220 lbs.) of castor oil are treated with 20 per cent. by weight of
sulphuric acid and neutralised with soda. To this mixture are added 7 per cent. of prime
summac extract, previously boiled together with 20 per cent. of fine Olein soap and
added when cold, under stirring.
With this summac-oil-soap the cotton is mordanted and is thus rendered capable of.
taking up die stuffs very readily.
The new mordant is applicable not only to cotton goods, but also to silk, and
mixed fibres, whether these consist of silk and cotton, or of wool and cotton, as
the mordant acts equally well with animal and with vegetable fibres.
The advantages arising from the use of Fankhausine are as follows
1. Dispensing with the boiling of cotton goods, and consequently considerable
saving of fuel.
2. Reduction of the preliminary operations for dyeing and consequent saving in
cost of labour.
3. Attainment of very fine, soft, and easily worked yarns.
4. Reduction in the consumption of dyestuffs by a more complete exhaustion of
the dye liquors, and consequently the attainment of more intensive tints on the
naterial.
'

page_text: The above described composition of the mordant gives the best results, but a
certain latitude in the proportions of the several ingredients must be allowed, to suit
to the nature of the various raw materials to be treated.
Having now 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
claim is :-
A mordant for enabling the direct dyeing of cotton and other materials to be
effected without previous boiling, consisting essentially of 100 Kilog (220 lbs.)
Castor oil treated with 20 per cent. of sulphuric acid, and neutralised by soda, to
which a compound of 7 per cent. Summac extract boiled in 20 per cent. Olein soap, is
added after cooling.

I, HANS GLENCк of 3 Clarendon Road Notting Hill in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman 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 an improved letter sheet which requires no envelope which
is simple and cheap in manufacture and can be easily fastened up, and is specially
applicable for short notes memorandums, invitations to tea, at homes, balls, banquets,
tennis parties, and such like.
The invention consists of a single sheet of letter paper, cardboard, or other material
of any desired size or shape with a perforated border of equal depth all round.
The border on one of the ends of the letter sheet is gummed across its length and the
gumming is continued half way down each side, so as to form three sides of rectangle,
the whole of the gumming being outside the perforations.
When the letter or note is written, the sheet is folded in the middle, the gummed
borders are then wetted and fixed to the opposite borders of the letter sheet. To open
the note it is only necessary to tear or cut off the perforated borders.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shews the letter sheet open and Figure 2
shews it closed.
A is the gum along the border at one of the ends, and B B the gum half way
along the border of the two contiguous sides. CC is the centre line along which the
letter sheet is folded into the shape shewn in figure 2. This line CC may be simply
folded or creased when the letter sheet is made of ordinary note paper; but when
made of stiffer material such as the material of which an ordinary Post Card is made,
then the line CC may be scored or otherwise similarly marked so as to assist the
folding thereof when required.

page_text: 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 letter sheet with perforated border and gummed portions A & B, substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.

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:
According to this invention I take a stamped or cut out design preferably of cloth
and of a different material and colour than the ground material, and sew it upon
the ground material by either an ornamental or common silk or other thread and
then embroider such attached design by a specially formed thread which completes
the decorative character of the design. This thread is made as follows. The gut
or ground is made of any of the usual materials and of the desired colour or
colours over which is spirally twisted a fine bright metallic wire or silk in such a
way that the appearance of the gut predominates. By varying the colours of the
thread to suit the colour of the sewn on design of cloth or other material and the
ornamental sewing, if such is used enables an entirely novel design of decorative
character to be obtained.
This special thread is best used for the purposes of this invention by a Bonnaz
machine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The improved method of decorating woven material such as is used for ladies
dresses consisting of a cut out design of material and of different colour to the ground
material, sewing such cut out design to the ground material by ornamental or other
thread, and then embroidering the attached design by the special thread to complete
the decoration, as described.
