Improved Flour.
I, RICHARD TRANKS WEBB, of Avon Street, Saint Philips, Bristol, Corn and
Flour 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 :-
This invention relates to wheat flour, and consists in a mixture thereof with
ground rice, cornflour, pulverised tartaric acid and pulverised carbonate of soda.
The ground rice, cornflour, pulverised tartaric acid and pulverised carbonate of
soda are mixed together by stirring them in a pan, or the like, in suitable pro-
portions before being added to the flour which latter is, before the addition, brushed
through a sieve by a cylindrical brush rotating in the sieve which is shaped to
correspond.
The flour descends through the meshes of the sieve into a vessel placed below
and whilst the flour is in this vessel the other substances aforesaid are added to it
and mixed therewith by stirring.
From this vessel the mixture is conducted by a shute to a sieve similar to that
above mentioned and, like it, containing a rotating brush. The mixture is forced
through the sieve by the brush and descends ready for use into a receiver placed
below the sieve.
Approximate proportions yielding good results are, in a sack of flour containing
280 lbs., ground rice 3lbs. to 3 lbs.; cornflour 3 lbs. to 3 lbs.; tartaric
acid 2 lbs. to 3 lbs.; and carbonate of soda 3 lbs. to 4 lbs.
The above described mixture serves as a flour for cooking purposes and for the
various uses appertaining to flour. Bread, pastry and the like made with the
said mixture are lightened in character and more easily digested than when flour
only is used therefor.
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 mixture of wheat flour, ground rice, cornflour, pulverised tartaric acid, and
pulverised carbonate of soda, compounded, to form a flour for cooking purposes,
in the proportions, approximately, hereinabove set forth and substantially after the
Acccribed.

Improvements in and relating to Joints for Socketed Earthenware
and other Sanitary and similar Pipes.
I, ARTHUR HENRY MOUNTAIN, of the Town Hall, Withington, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Civil 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in making joints for socketed earthenware
and other sanitary and similar pipes, and it consists essentially in the use of a
special ring of section or other suitable section substantially in the manner
hereinafter described and illustrated and as pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of two pipes connected together by my improved
joint and
Figs. 2 and 3 are a section and a plan respectively of the special ring.
In Fig. 1. a designates an ordinary earthenware or other sanitary or similar
socketed pipe, and b the plain end of the pipe which is to be connected to it.
For the purposes of my invention I employ a ring or washer c of a suitable
section such as that shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 3. This ring is made of a suitable
material composed of hair or other fibre impregnated with bitumen and coal tar or
other like materials or composition which will tend to preserve the fibrous material
of which the felt is composed and also assist in making a tight joint. The ring is
stamped or otherwise formed and preferably subjected to pressure in a mould to
bring it into the desired shape. The ring c is then slipped over the plain end of the
pipe which is then inserted into the socket of the pipe a as shown in Fig. 1 and
the joint is completed by means of Portland cement, clay, or other suitable filling d.
The ring c is so shaped and fashioned that it will fit closely over the pipe 6 and will
also fill the annular space between the pipe and the socket of the pipe a thus
insuring the concentricity of the two pipes as well as a tight joint.
C
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:-
1. The combination with the pipes a and b and a cement or other filling d, of the
ring c formed of fibrous material impregnated with bitumen and coal tar or other
like materials and adapted to fit the ex terior of the plain ended and the interior of
the socketed pipe substantially as and for the purposes herein described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. The ring e formed of suitable fibrous material of the section shown or of any
equivalent section and applicable substantially in the manner and for the purposes
herein set forth.

Improvements in Corset Fastenings.
I, JAMES PIGGOT of 35, Guthrie Street, Dundee, Butcher, 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 fastening for corsets, and has for its object
to provide a device by means of which the corset can be more easily and securely
fastened than is the case with the ordinary arrangements.
In carrying out my invention instead of employing the ordinary pin on one stay
busk, with an eye fitted on the other side engaging with each other, I propose to
use with the ordinary or any other suitable form of eye a spring hook engaging
with the said arm. The spring hook may be of the ordinary swivel kind used in
connection with watches, in which the open hook is closed by means of a small
hinged arm provided with a spring at its back. The spring hook may also be
formed in one piece from a strip of spring metal bent into the usual form.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of a corset busk with
my invention applied, and Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same.
A is the corset busk of any ordinary shape having the eyes B on one side.
These eyes are stamped from sheet metal, and are secured by riveting or
other means to the corset busk. The ordinary eye is of keyshape, but in my
arrangement the perforation may be of any form. On the other busk or side
the spring hooks C are fixed and the eyes, as shown in the upper part of the
figure, are sprung over the hook, which prevents them becoming disengaged,
With this
until the spring arm is pressed down by the finger of the wearer.
arrangement a simple action will suffice to secure the two busks together without
the chance of their becoming disengaged accidentally. The corset can be at once
unfastened by opening the spring hooks in the ordinary manner.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-
An improved corset fastening, consisting of a series of spring hooks fitted to one
side of the corset busk, engaging with eyes on the other side substantially as
described and shown and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in and connected with Shirts.
I, MARTIN HIRSCH, Merchant of Berlin, Friedrichstrasse 154, 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:-
Shirts, to which the collar or the cuffs or both are firmly attached have the
disadvantage that they have to be laid aside (for washing) whenever the collar or
a cuff is soiled outwardly, which fact applies more particularly to the cuffs which
cannot always be laid aside when the wearer is occupied. The present invention
permits of both the collar and the cuffs being used in such a manner that when
one side of either the collar or of the cuffs should have become soiled, although
the other parts of the shirt may be quite clean, the collar or the cuffs only require
to be reversed to show a clean surface outwardly.
On the annexed drawing the subject of this invention is shown.
Fig. 1 & 2 show a front view of the arrangement.
Fig. 3 shows a shirt sleeve with cuff.
Fig. 4 is a section through the line x-x of the Figure 1, and
Fig. 5 is a section through the line y-y of Fig. 2.
.
The collar is double and consists of the two parts b, and 6', which are joined
together at their base e, and also to the collar-band e, of the shirt. As shown in
Figures 1 & 4, the part of the collar is worn first whereas the part 6' merely lies
on the outside of the collar-band e. Thus, the clean side or face of the part 62 is
turned towards the collar-band and is kept clean.
As soon as the part 6, is soiled it is turned over into the inside of the shirt
(Figures 2 & 3) and the part 1, is raised up, thus turning its clean side
outwards.
The cuff is joined to the wrist-band d, at the line f, and thus consists of the
two parts a, and a', of which two parts the part a, (Fig. 1) is worn first.
As soon as this part has become soiled the cuff is spread out and turned round
on the line, which causes the inner surface of a', to come outside (Fig. 3).
The cuffs are worked and ironed equally on both sides.
Of course the arrangement of the collar and also of the cuffs can be used alone
and instead of stand-up or turn-down collars without affecting the value of the
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim:
1. Shirts made in such a manner, that two collars (b & b') are joined together
and to the collar-band of the shirt in such a manner that by turning said collars,
first one as herein described and duly set forth and then the other can be used.
2. With shirts, the arrangement of the cuffs in such a manner that each
cuff (a, a') is joined at its centre (f) to the end (d) of the shirt sleeve and ca
thus be worn on either side by turning it at the part marked by the line (ƒ)
as herein described and duly set forth.

Improvements in Ballasting and other Hopper Wagons.
FREDERIC BARRY STANTON 11 Queen Victoria Street London E.C. Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to hopper wagons, constructed in such a manner that they
can be readily converted into flat bottomed wagons so as to be utilized for carrying
ordinary goods when not required for ballasting or other purposes where hoppers
are required.
In constructing my hopper wagon I so arrange the frame work that the portion
of the hopper below the floor line or top of sole bars is made separate from the
upper portion of the hopper body, and being provided with a flange all round is
secured to the main frame work by rivets bolts and stays.
The upper portion or body of the wagon is built as for a goods wagon with
rectangular sides and ends, and fitted with ordinary side doors.
The ends of the wagons are secured by vertical angle or tee irons, and are hung
upon roller bars from the top & swinging inwards, and when pressed inwards to the
proper position so as to form the upper part of the hopper at the ends, they are
fixed in that position by a roller bar or swivelling bracket or an equivalent with
suitable fastenings.
The floor of the wagon is made up of several plates of such size as to be easily
lifted up and inclined against the sides of the wagon forming the upper portion of
the wagon hopper at sides, and making a complete hopper wagon with the usual
outlet for discharging the ballast or other material.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Fire-lighters.
I, HUGO LUBBEN, Engineer of 2 Cäcilienplatz, Oldenburg, Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of my 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 a process for making firelighters, which shall
burn longer and more intensely than those hitherto known so that the same serve
more efficiently for lighting coal and coke fires. The said fire-lighters are also
more convenient in form than those hitherto employed, being made in thin chips
which can be easily broken, so that it is not always necessary to use a whole
lighter, thus rendering the consumption very economical, the said lighters can be
easily and conveniently packed and the process for producing the same is very
simple and inexpensive.
Hitherto firelighters have been made by simply soaking wood or wood chips in
resin, tar, pitch and the like. Now if instead of soaking wood in materials of this
kind the wood or wood chips be boiled in the same, it will be evident that the
firelighters produced will be of greater efficiency, because all wood contains more
or less moisture, because all the moisture will be driven out when the chips are
boiled at a temperature above 100 C. and over and above this the prepared wood
will be no longer capable of absorbing moisture because its pores will be entirely
filled by the solution in which it is boiled. I advantageously boil wood sticks
or chips in pitch, resin, tar or the like for the space of about 10 minutes. In order
to make the firelighters according to the present process the cheapest kinds of wood
are employed, said wood being cut into lengths in the form of thin flat strips,
having a thickness advantageously not exceeding a quarter of an inch and being
then prepared in the manner specified. I purpose selling these lighters in bundles,
at the price of one penny each, such bundles may not necessarily contain prepared
lighters only but may consist of a mixture of prepared lighters and ordinary wood
chips as at present used for tire lighting.
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 process for making fire-lighters consisting in cutting or otherwise separating
wood into thin flat sticks or strips having advantageously a thickness not
exceeding one quarter of an inch, and after having dried the same, boiling them
in resin, pitch or tar, as specified and packing into bundles consisting of fire-
lighters alone or firelighters with ordinary wood in the manner and for the
purpose substantially as described.

Kongevej 111, both of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, Dairy
Proprietors, 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 manufacture of a beverage from skim milk and
the like.
Large quantities of skim milk and whey are produced on dairy farms and the
only use to which they can be put is by employing them as food for animals, and
even then they can only be taken in small quantities on account of the large
percentage of water they contain.
Now the object of our invention is to utilize the practically waste skim milk and
whey for the production of a beverage.
According to our invention we convert the skim milk and whey to a firm mass in
a vacuum or in an open condensation apparatus, at the same time agitating it by
suitable means. The firm mass remaining after this treatment can be formed by
suitable means into lumps similar to coffee beans of any desired shape and size,
which lumps can then be dried in an oven or roasted like coffee beans and ground.
A beverage can be made from this powder in the same way that coffee is made from
the powdered berries.
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 :-
1. A process for the manufacture of a beverage from skim milk and whey by
concentrating or evaporating the said skim milk or whey to a firm mass, which mass
can then be formed into lumps or beans of suitable shape and size, dried or roasted
and ground, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved substance substantially as
herein before described for the purpose specified.

as to be air-tight while the other end is affixed to a glass tube, or to a vulcanite or
metallic feeder which conveys the ink to the pen.
METHOD OF APPLYING THE INVENTION.
1st. By pressing the tube at point A and dipping point C into ink, the
tube A. B. C. is filled with ink by suction.
2nd. When the tube (now forming the ink reservoir) is encased in the metallic
or vulcanite tube D with the protector E affixed a constant flow of ink is directed
to the pen by pressure on the finger or thumb hole F until the reservoir is
empty.
3rd. Whereas the feeder or channel whereby the ink is fed or led from the
reservoir of a fountain pen to the pen point has heretofore been composed of metal,
vulcanite or rubber this section of the invention is the substitution of a glass tube
for this purpose.
This tube may have its point straight or bent towards the pen
point and is affixed at the other end to the flexible tube forming the ink
reservoir.
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
1st. The filling of a fountain or reservoir pen with ink by pressure on the
reservoir itself.
2nd. The use of a feeder or channel made of glass to convey the ink from the
reservoir of a fountain pen to the pen point.

Improvements in Shirts.
I, GEORGE HENRY ADDINSELL, of 63 Lord Street, Liverpool, in the County
of Lancaster, Manufacturer, 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 :-
My invention, has for its object improvements in shirts which have special
reference to the fronts and the mode in which the said fronts are united to the
body of the shirt so as to prevent the front from being creased or injured either by
the braces or the trousers and is for the purpose of preventing any marks appearing
during the process of ironing the fronts."
In order that my said invention may be clearly understood and more easily
carried into practical effect I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings
illustrating an example of the same.
Figure 1., is a perspective view showing the shirt with the braces E passing
under the sides of the front to the trousers H.
Figure 2., is a front view of the front B and part of the shirt A closed.
Figure 3, is a similar view to Figure 2 with the front open.
Figure 4., is a vertical section and part clevation and side view for the purpose
of showing the connection between the body of the shirt and the front at a².
Figure 5., is a cross section through the two sides of the front showing the
connection between the front B and the shirt body A.
On reference to the drawings it will be seen that the front is quite free from the
shirt over all the important part of its surface; that is, its underneath surface is
united thereto at the underneath part of the outer or extreme edges b' to the shirt
body A at a'. It is also united at the top part to about the distance of the points
of the arrows K or such other distance as will allow the braces freedom in passing
over the shoulders underneath the front B. Then at the lower part the front is
held to the body by a short line of fine stitching a, a, which is of very great
importance but in such a manner as to allow perfect freedom to the lower portion
a, a, to pass over the top h', ' of the trousers H. It will thus be seen that there
is no impediment to the free action of the front above the braces E and the top of
the trousers ¹ and that there are no seams connecting the front with the body at
any parts under the observed portion of its surface to mark the outer surface
during the operation of ironing. These shirts may be made with the openings at
the back instead of the front part and of any external pattern or design.
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 improvements in shirts in which the front B is only connected at the
edges to the front A at a¹ with the supplemental connections at K and a
substantially such as herein set forth and shown upon the accompanying drawings.

part A is made with hollows a which give stiffness combined with lightness, and
has its central part embossed in partly spherical form so that it can rest and turn
freely on a spherical head b projecting up from the other part or base B. This
is stamped so as to have a hollow 61 surrounding the central projection and forming
a dish to hold water, the ridge 62 which surrounds it nearly but not quite touching
the deepest parts of the hollows a, so as to prevent rocking of the upper part.
Both parts A and B have their edges stiffened by a flange or lip a¹ and 63
respectively.
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 turntable for plants or the like, consisting of two parts both stamped from
sheet metal, the upper part formed to turn on a projection from the lower part,.

Humanized Condensed Milk.
I CRESACRE GEORGE MOOR of 314 Strand in the County of London
Analytical Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
--
It has long been known that the proportion of albumenoids in cows inilk being
higher than that in human milk is productive of indigestion and various methods
have been and are used to remove a portion of these excessive albumenoids and
the preparations so arrived at are termed humanized milks because they
closely approximate to human milk as regards their chemical constitution.
My claim is however the preparation of such a food in a condensed form & to
attain my purpose I proceed as follows:-
I concentrate by evaporation three parts of high class cows milk to one and
then add and mix in proportions water cream milk & sugar and mineral salts. In
this way I produce a condensed food which when diluted with twice its volume of
water, possesses the same chemical composition as human milk I claim in fact
the humanization of condensed milk & I claim as novel concentration and
portability over all other similar preparations.

1, JAMES CONNOLLY, of 65, Wharfdale Road, Caledonian Road, King's Cross,
London, N. Tyresmith, 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 has for its object to provide the wheels of wheeled vehicles with
rims which will hold the tyre more securely in position than is attainable by the
use of the rims as hitherto constructed and adopted.
In accordance with my invention I form upon the inner peripheral sides of the
rim, a series of denticulations or serrations, which, when the tyre is sprung into the
rim in the usual manner the toothed or denticulated portions or projections of the
inside of the rim embed and thus securely hold the tyre in position.
In order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe same, with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings,
in each of the figures of which similar letters of reference indicate like or
corresponding parts.
Figure is a cross section of a tyre rim constructed in accordance with my
invention, and Figure 2 is a similar view but wherein the tyre is shown in position.
Upon the inner sides of the channel shaped rim a I form the denticulations or
serrations b, into which the tyre e, composed of vulcanised india rubber or any
other suitable material, is forced, when sprung into the rim. The projecting or
toothed portions b embed themselves in the tyre and serve to grip and securely hold
the same in position.
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 :-
:―
Constructing the tyre rims of wheels of wheeled vehicles or serrations, irrespective
of their number or formation, upon their inner or peripheral sides for the purpose
of gripping and securely holding the tyre when introduced within the channel
shaped rim, substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying sheet
of drawings.

page_text: When using the apparatus for pressing a gold case provided with preliminarily
stamped or rough protuberances to form an entire gold crown of a tooth, the
mould or core-piece G, made of Babbit or other casily fusible metal and cast in one
piece with a block g, is placed upon the plate B within the ring C in the interior
of the box.. The gold case F to be treated, such as for instance that shown in
Figs. 1 to 6, is put upon the mould or core-piece G, the cover D is placed upon
the box in such a manner that the pins ff pass into the holes e, and the whole is
subjected to the action of a suitable press. As indicated in Fig. 11, the mould or
core-piece G provided with the gold case F is pressed into the indiarubber plug E
so that the latter will press the gold case F-tightly upon the upper part of the
mould or core-piece G corresponding to the rough surface and also against the
whole periphery of the said mould or core-piece thus giving it the desired final
form.
The cover D is then removed from the box A, the ring C together with the
mould or core-piece G is lifted from this box by displacing the bottom plate B by
means of a pin inserted through the aperture, and the Babbit or other casily
fusible metal is removed from the ring C made conical in its interior for this
purpose. The moulded gold crown is freed by fusing the Babbit metal still
adhering to it, and is then ready for use.
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
1. The method of manufacturing entire gold crowns of teeth, which consists in
first producing a gold case with preliminarily stamped or rough protuberances,
and subsequently pressing this gold case, by means of an apparatus provided with
an indiarubber plug, serving to force this gold case against a mould or core-piece,
Bo as to form an eutire gold crown substantially as set forth.
2. In apparatus for pressing gold cases so as to form entire gold crowns of
teeth, an interiorly conical ring C placed in a box and surrounding the block of
the mould or core picce for the crown, which ring bears upon a plate B placed
loosely upon the bottom a pierced with a hole i, for the purpose of facilitating the
removal of the mould or core-piece for the gold crown, from the box after the
said crown has been formed, substantially as set forth.
3. In apparatus for pressing gold cases so as to form entire crowns of teeth,
an india-rubber plug, arranged in a cavity of the cover for the box for enabling
it to be exchanged, and which when the cover is forced upon 'the box will
tightly press the gold case, placed on the mould or core-piece for the crown, upon
the upper part of the mould or core-piece corresponding to the rough surface of
the tooth, and also against the whole periphery of this mould or core-piece,
substantially as set forth.
4. An artificial crown for teeth prepared substantially in the manner and by
the means set forth...
