I, JOHN CLAYTON MEWBURN of the Firm of J. C. Mewburn and Ellis, of
55 and 56 Chancery Lane, London, Chartered Patent Agents, do hereby
declare the nature of the said 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 new perfume or odoriferous
principle and to the process for the preparation of the same.
According to this invention, a new perfume, homovanillin, is produced by
introducing hoino-guaiacol
OCH, 1
CH, OH 2
CH3 4
into the "Reimer-Tiemann" reaction. In order to convert homoguaiacol into
homo-vanillin, the following may be given as an example of the process:
10 kilogs. of creosol are dissolved in 30 litres of a solution of soda (a litre of
which contains 430 grammes of sodium hydrate) and in 37 litres of water. This
solution is heated in a water bath, and into it there are allowed to flow 50 kilogs.
of chloroform. After the latter has been consumed by the reaction the solution is
cooled, mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ether.
The perfume or odoriferous principle is extracted from the ether solution by
means of a solution of bisulphite of sodium. The bisulphite compound is
decomposed by an addition of acid. The perfume is thus set free, and separates
in the solid form. The perfume is then separated by filtration and is purified by
crystallization from alcohol.
The degrees of concentration and quantitative proportions mentioned in this
example may vary within wide limits. Instead of soda solution, other alkalies,
or even the alkaline earths, may be employed, and other solvents may be used in
place of water.
The new odoriferous principle, which has probably the following formula,-

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me and in what manner the same is to be performed,
I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A process for the manufacture of a perfume or odoriferous principle,
consisting in allowing chloroform to act upon homoguaiacol in an alkaline
solution, substantially as set forth.
2. A new perfume or odoriferous principle having the composition of a homo-
vanillin, and being soluble in a solution of soda, in ether, and in alcohol, and
forming colorless scales, which may, however, be yellowish in color, and having
a melting point of 165° C.
3. The manufacture of a new perfume or odoriferous principle having the
characteristic properties described in the preceding specification.

Improvements in Lock Nuts.
LUDWIG STEINMETZ of 4 Neuendorferstrasse, Duisburg in the German
Empire, Architect, 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 :-
For the purpose of securing nuts upon screws, a second nut on each screw is
commonly used, the friction between the surfaces of the nuts being relied on to
prevent loosening.
My present invention relates to an improved nut lock which is illustrated by the
accompanying drawings, to which reference is hereinafter made, and in which there
is a more complete and intimate connection between the nuts, with a consequent
greater security.
As shewn by the vertical section Figure 1, the main nut A has a reduced
diameter for part of its height, where it is circular in cross section. This part is
externally screwed with the thread a, and it is internally tapped or screwed as
usual to fit upon the bolt or stud B. The lock nut C has two internal diameters,
one in the lower part to fit upon the screw thread a, and the other to fit upon the
bolt or stud B, both parts being tapped or internally screwed to fit upon the
threads a and b respectively. If the pitch of the thread a is a little greater than
that of the thread b, the nuts will be drawn tightly together when C is screwed
down and at the same time the nut A will be brought into closer contact with the
base upon which it is supported. The friction set up between the nuts in this
manner gives a greatly improved lock.
In
A modification of my invention is shewn by the vertical section Figure 2.
this case, the part of A on which the thread a is cut is slightly conical and longi-
tudinally slotted with one or more slots indicated by dotted lines. When C is
screwed down the upper parts of A between the slots are forced inwards upon the
bolt or stud B. Thus, in addition to the friction set up between the threads on the
nuts, there is the additional friction set up by pinching A upon B.
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 :-
Lock nuts constructed and arranged substantially as herein before described and
as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Sheep-dip Powder.
We WILLIAM OLIVER QUIBELL THOMAS OLIVER QUIBELL, OLIVER
QUIBELL, and WILLIAM BOYD BERRIE QUIBELL, of Castle Gate, Newark, in
the County of Nottingham, 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 object of this invention is to provide a simple and efficacious, more or less.
dry compound, for use in the washing or dipping of sheep, which will not set
together in hard masses by pressure or lapse of time. It is well known that sheep
dipping compounds of the kind named, are more difficult to employ when they have
set into a hard mass. To avoid this inconvenience, and to prevent the dissemination
of the poisonous materials during the process of manufacture, owing to their dusty
nature, glycerine has been mixed with the dry materials, but it has been found that
glycerine absorbs moisture from the air to a considerable extent. This causes the
packets containing the compound to swell and burst, thereby occasioning a loss of
material, and becoming a source of danger, owing to the poisonous nature of the
contents.
For the purposes of this invention, we use powdered sulphur and arsenic, which
may have been rendered soluble with an alkali, in or about the proportions of
say, 100 parts of sulphur to 30 parts arsenic. These ingredients are mixed
together in a suitable mixing machine with about 5 parts of some material having
an oily nature, for example, spirits of tar. The term "spirits of tar" is well known
commercially for an article derived from the distillation of wood-tar, and is usually
more or less impure. The article we use is a spirit which is the fraction obtained
by the distillation of wood-tar having a, specific gravity of about 874, about
85 per cent. of which will distill between 155 and 185 degrees Centigrade. By
employing this spirit, and of the degree of purity stated, most satisfactory results
are obtained. It may, however, be here remarked, that we do not bind ourselves
to this degree of purity, and we could also use other materials of an oily nature,
and which do not absorb moisture, such as rosin oil or creosote oil. In like manner,
the proportions of the ingredients used may be varied without departing from the
nature of the present invention.
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 manufacture of a sheep dip powder as herein described.
2. A sheep dip compound consisting of powdered arsenic, preferably rendered
soluble, sulphur, and a material of an oily nature, in varying proportions, as set
forth.
3. In a sheep-dip compound, the use of spirits of tar in varying proportions, as
herein set forth.

Improvements in Air Valves for Closed Cisterns.
I, JULIAN GARNER of 86 Gresham Road, Brixton, S.W. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In carrying my invention into practice, I attach a spindle, in any convenient
manner, to the cistern float, such spindle being formed at its top (which enters the
bottom of the outlet pipe) as a valve seating. Outside this seating is a metal tube
furnished at the top with a suitable cap and lining, and at the bottom with nuts,.
and on the outside with suitable screws. The liquid, having attained to a sufficient
height in the cistern, raises the float, which forces the valve upwards into the-
seating, thereby shutting off the liquid from the cistern, and also expelling the air..
According as the liquid is drawn off the valve descends thereby admitting air into
the cistern. Instead of the valve and seating hereinbefore described I may use a
small ball of any suitable material fitting loosely in the metal tube so as to form a
seating for the purposes herein specified, when acted on by the liquid. By the
latter contrivance 1 dispense with the float and spindle.

statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in air valves for closed cisterns..
These improvements are delineated by the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the apparatus.
Figure 2 is a vertical section showing the ball arrangement.
Figure 3 is a plan of the nuzzle at the lower end of the pipe B Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is a plan of the lower end of the pipe B Figure 2.
Like letters of reference designate like parts throughout the several drawings.
In carrying my invention into practice I proceed as follows. The outlet pipe A
Figure 1 is attached to the metal pipe B as shown. The lower end of the pipe B
has a nozzle H which is perforated at H¹ Fig. 3 for the admission of liquid from
the cistern C to the pipe B, and is also perforated at H' Fig. 3 for receiving the
lower end of the spindle E. The nozzle is attached to the cover of the cistern C.
The valve D is attached to the top or upper end of the spindle E, and the lower
or bottom end of the spindle E is attached to the float F in any convenient manner.
The spindle E passes into the pipe B and works upward and downward according
as the liquid in the cistern rises or falls. The liquid having attained to a sufficient
height in the cistern raises the float F which forces the valve D on the top or
upper end of the spindle E into the seating G in the pipe B by which means the
liquid is shut off and the air is excluded.

manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-

page_text: or naphthalene but also upon certain trisubstituted derivatives, and among others, upon
diamidophenols and upon diamidonaphthols.
Thus, by heating 32 kilogrammes of sulphur with 126 kilogrammes diamido-
phenol 1.2.4 at a temperature of 80 to 120 for 6 to 8 hours I obtain a colouring
matter soluble in alkaline sulphides as a blue which dyes cotton black.
To facilitate the reaction, it is expedient to add sulphuret of sodium, in order to
dissolve the sulphur and diamidophenol.
I may replace the diamidophenol 1.2.4 by the corresponding dinitrophenol or the
mixture of dinitrophenols 1.2.4 and 1.2.6, obtained conjointly by the nitrification of
phenol.
In this latter case, it will be necessary to previously reduce the dinitrophenols by
means of sulphuret of sodium and to add sulphur to the reduced mass.
The dinitrophenols may he replaced by dinitronaphthols such as the 1.2.4 or
naphthalene yellow. It will be also useful, in this case, to reduce the nitrified
compound by means of sulphuret of sodium and to subsequently add sulphur.
For example: I take:
Sulphuret of sodium
Dinitrophenol

An Improved Table, adaptable for Ironing and other similar
Purposes.
We WILLIAM RICHARD MURRAY and EDWARD NICOL MURRAY trading as
Murray Bros. General Merchants Parramatta in the Colony of New South Wales 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:
Our invention has for its object the adaptation of an ironing board to an ordinary
table, previously it has been the custom to use ironing boards of various patterns,
with or without the ordinary table as a support now our invention provides for a
combination of an ironing board made of any suitable size or pattern with an ordinary
table, so that it may be affixed temporarily for usage whenever required as illustrated
in the drawings to which reference will be subsequently made it will be seen that our
invention provides for two requirements in domestic life, in the first place the table
may be used for general purposes in the other by affixing the ironing board on the
top of the table in the manner indicated in the drawings the table may be converted
into an article for the facilitation of the work entailed in ironing pressing etc.
Hitherto it has been the practice to use ironing boards irrespective of the table as a
support thus the advantages to be obtained from the use of an ironing board in
conjunction with a table such as ours are many.
In order that our invention may be more fully understood reference may be made
to the drawings in which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts.
Figure 1 is a view of the table showing the ironing board when adjusted.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the table showing more plainly the application of
the ironing board.
Figure 3 is the top of the table when ironing board is not adjusted.
Figure 4 shows the top of the table when the centre F is removed.
In Figure 1 A represents the ironing board so in Figure 5 it is shown how the
ironing board is taken from the position as shown in Figure 1 and immediately placed
underneath the top of the table on supports specially for that purpose.
Whenever it is required to place the ironing board in position the centre of the top
of the table marked F is removed by means of the clutch H.
The ironing board is then removed from underneath the table and placed in
position by inserting the dowels or pins in the holes specially provided in cleats G.
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 :-
1. The details of construction of an ironing board specifically as illustrated in the
rawings.
2. The combination of an ironing board of any size or pattern with a table
specifically described in the specification and illustrated in the drawings.

I, DAVID PROUDFOOT BLEASBY, 40, Arbour Street, Southport, African-
Trader, 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 an improved brush for cleaning the mud guards of
cycles as hereinafter described.
According to my invention I provide a curved brush which is adapted to be
attached to the periphery of the wheel by straps or springs; said brush when
the wheel is revolved thoroughly and efficiently cleans the inside of the mud.
guard.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a brush constructed
according to my invention.
A is the back, B are the bristles, fibre or the like and C are straps for securing
the brush on the periphery of the wheel when it is desired to clean the mud
guard. The thickness of the back and length of the bristles or the like are
arranged to suit the distance between the wheel and guard.

Instead of straps I may provide spring clips of any suitable design for securing
the brush in position on the wheel.
I have shewn the brush as being curved in the transverse direction only to fit
the tyre or rim, but in some cases more especially where the brushes are intended
for use with wheels of small diameter I make the brush curved lengthwise to fit
the periphery.
By my invention the cleaning of the inside of a mud guard is very readily
accomplished without the necessity of removing the guard from the machine.
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 :-
1. For cleaning the inside of a mud guard, a brush provided with means for
attachment to the periphery of the wheel and operating as described.

page_text: 2. A brush constructed substantially as described with reference to the accom-
panying drawing for the purpose specified.

I, WILLIAM BOWMAN BALLANTINE the Younger of Ashgrove, Ayrshire, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to provide a means whereby advertisements can be
read in the dark as well as in the light.
In carrying out my Invention I coat the advertisement, whatever it may be, and
whether in a magazine, on a hoarding, on metal plates at railway stations, or other
places, or otherwise, with a luminous ink or paint.
Dated this 21st day of September 1896.

I, WILLIAM BOWMAN BALLANTINE, of Ashgrove, in the County of Ayr, North Britain,
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 has for its object to provide a means whereby any letters, signs,
words, characters or figures, or other advertisements, can be read, seen or distinguished
in the dark as well as in the light.
In carrying out my Invention, I coat the letters, signs, words, characters or figures,
or other advertisements whatever they may be, and whether on a window or wall, on
a hoarding, on metal or other plates at railway stations or in tunnels, or other places,
with a suitable luminous paint.
As typical examples of showing how my Invention is carried into practice, in the
case of the advertisement being in the form of words appearing in glass, or other
transparent suitable substance, I cut out the separate letters of the different words in
duplicate. I then coat one portion of the letter, which is to form the back, with a
suitable paint, say of a white colour, to constitute a backing, and on the other portion,
which forms the front, I place a layer of luminous paint. The two portions are then
put together the painted surfaces lying one against the other. When dried the
letter will show through the front glass a white colour in daylight and be luminous
through the front glass in the dark.
To effect any alteration in the colour of the letter during daylight or in the dark,

page_text: the glass used may be tinted or coloured to any desired degree, but not so as to
obscure the luminosity at night.
In the case of the advertisement being placed on cloth, canvas, paper, or such like
suitable material, after coating or lettering it with the luminous paint and allowing it to
dry, I make it waterproof by means of varnish, prepared fish-glue, soluble glass, or other
suitable substance so that it will not be effected by the weather.
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 method of advertising by means of letters, signs, words, characters, or figures
visible in the daylight being made luminous in the dark, substantially as and for the
purpose herein before described.
