Improved Fire-lighters.
We, JAMES WATTS, 2 Burton Villas, Westbourne, Bournemouth, Hants, Porter,
EDMUND BENSON STYRING of "The Yarrells" near Poole, Dorset, Coal Merchant
and HERBERT GEORGE FROUD of High Street, Poole Dorset, Accountant 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:-
A fire lighter constructed of pieces of wood, arranged to form a skeleton case to
contain wood shavings. After being filled with shavings and tied together, this is
dipped in heated resin and paraffin and surrounded on four sides by a strip of paper.
The case is made in the following manner :-two pieces of wood of about 5 inches
long 2 inches wide and of an inch thick form two sides and five or six pieces of
ordinary chopped firewood of about 5 inches long an inch wide and half an inch
thick placed flat and close together form a third side or top.
These pieces of wood forming the case are put together and kept in place whilst
being filled with shavings and during the process of tying by means of a wooden
frame or box of about 6 inches long 3 inches wide and 2 inches deep with no top
or bottom so that as soon as the case is tied it may be taken out of this frame which
also answers the purpose of a mould to give regularity of shape.
When the case has been filled with shavings it is tied round with two pieces of
Raffia grass one near each end.
The strip of paper is about 20 inches long and 2½ inches wide and being placed on
the top of the firelighter (which has now been tied together) brought down over the
ends to the bottom and fastened with paste forms the only covering at the ends
and bottom.
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 combination in a tidy and useful form as a firelighter of a large proportion
of wood shavings with pieces of wood and an inflammable composition.
2. Making good and saleable use of wood shavings an article little used and
comparatively valueless.

Simultaneous Production of a highly Phosphoric Slag.

Simultaneous Production of a highly Phosphoric Slag.
I, JOHN HENRY DARBY of Brymbo in the County of Denbigh, Steel 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 an improved method of working basic open hearth
furnaces, used in the manufacture of steel, whereby the life of the furnace is prolonged,
the use of lime (CaO) nearly obviated, and in cases where phosphoric pig is used the
final slag contains a large percentage of phosphoric acid.
In the basic process of steel melting as ordinarily carried out in the open hearth.
furnace, lime and limestone are generally used to render the slag basic, and fix the
phosphoric acid, and the resulting slag usually contains 12 to 14 per cent. P₂ O, and
an excess of Ca O. Lime is injurious to the furnace lining, ports and regenerators,
and in practice a quantity of lime dust is carried over with the draught, which as it
comes in contact with the lining, fluxes and destroys it.
I propose to introduce along with the charge, instead of limestone as is usually
the case, a quantity of slag from a previous charge, and I have found by experiment
that in ten tons of metal, consisting of about seven tons phosphoric pig and three
tons scrap, about ten cwt. is a suitable quantity. When this is melted I make my
additions in the usual manner, but instead of introducing limestone with the iron ore
I add a further quantity of slag to the extent of about ten cwt. The process is then
carried on with limestone and iron ore or limestone additions alone until the
purification of the metal is completed. It is not generally necessary to use lime as
the slag on the surface of the metal does not require it, being from the commencement
sufficiently basic, the furnace lining is not therefore cut away to such an extent by the
lime dust as when lime additions are made and the phosphoric acid is necessarily
increased in percentage as the total quantity of slag is less than when lime is employed.
The phosphoric acid in the resultant slag may in this way be considerably increased
above the ordinary percentages.

page_text: I am aware that it has already been proposed by Twynam in his specification
No. 1796 of 1886, to effect the purification of pig iron and simultaneously the
purification of ferruginous phosphatic slag by the addition to the melted phosphoric
pig iron of basic slag, and I make no broad claim to the use of such addition apart
from my method of procedure as above set forth, but
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 manufacture of ingot iron or steel and the simultaneous production of a
highly phosphoric slag in a basic or neutrally lined open hearth furnace, substantially
as set forth.

I, EDWARD NUNAN, of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, 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 making metallic base for receiving composition in con-
struction and for other purposes, from sheet or strip iron having portions pressed
forward or depressed in rows alternating in loops, or by rolling or stamping curves to
one or both faces.
The annexed drawings show three examples of my invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of a base A cut and stamped in rows in alternate
order. Each stamping B, B, is forced to a curve at C, C. and the slits D, D, which
serve as recesses, act in conjunction with the curved lips C, C, to receive a plaster, or
the like, which as it "setts," forms its own key or bond all over the base A. The
Figure shows that all the stampings are on one side of the base but some of them may
be stamped in the opposite of the base, particularly if both sides have to be coated
with a cement, or a plaster.
Figure 2 represents a single lipped stamped base A, the curl of the lips being to a
greater extent than the lips shown at Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a base A with indentations or loops pressed forward with slits D, D,
formed by the stamping. The slits D, D, and the loops C, C, act together for
receiving and keying the plaster.
My improved base or foundation for receiving plaster, or the like may have the
in pressions transversely, or longitudinally in the base or foundation, as be desired.
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
The manufacture of metallic Bases, or foundations (for receiving plaster and the
like) of the forms shown on the annexed drawings.

page_text: We, JOHN EARLK and GEORGE BOURNE of Hooper Street, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Tube 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 :-
Our invention has for object improvements in the manufacture of externally coated
metallic tubes. Such tubes, known in the trade as cased tubes have hitherto been
produced in the following manner. A strip of iron or steel of the required width is
turned up into an open jointed tube on which is drawn or pulled a brazed brass
covering. The combined tube is now redrawn through a smaller or finishing hole in
in order to bring the brass and iron together. Finally it is polished and lacquered.
This method of manufacture has the defect that the yielding of the internal iron
or steol tube leaves the brass coating somewhat loose and of a soft surface,
preventing a high and brilliant polish thereon.
Now our invention has for object the tightening of a metallic covering, it may
be of brass, on the iron or steel body and the production of a hard and smooth
surface, which will receive and retain a most brilliant colour, preparatory to
lacquering. In manufacturing a tube according to our invention, we take a strip
of iron or steel of the required width and turn it up into an open jointed tube
on which is pulled or drawn a metallic covering. This covering may be of the
ordinary thickness or otherwise, hut is of such a length as to only partly cover
the inner iron or steel tube. A mandril is now placed into the iron or steel tube
preparatory to the combined tube being finished by being drawn through a steel
die. By this method we reduce the thickness of the brass or other metallic case
and increase its length, the outer surface of the covering becoming very smooth
and hard. The polishing or finishing, which may be effected whilst the mandril is
within the tube or not as desired, is thereby greatly facilitated and the tube becomes
more rigid, and altogether of a superior finish. By our method we also produce
a uniform internal diameter in order to receive a plug or fitting for bedstead and
other purposes.

page_text: Having now particularly duscribed and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed We declare that what
Wo claim is:-
1st. The use of a mandril or plug in the final drawing of an externally coated
metallic tube.
2nd. The hereinbefore described manufacture of externally coated metallic tubes,
which consists in inserting a mandril or plug in the tube and then drawing the said
tube through a die, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

Improvements relating to Thermometers.
I, ADAM KEDDIE, of 99 Willowfield Terrace, Belfast, Ireland, Foreman Baker, 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 in the construction of thermometric appliances for the
purpose of testing the temperature of mixtures of various ingredients either dry or
liquid such as bread stuffs in a dry state or mixed with water or other liquids or what
is technically known as sponge."
"
In order that my invention may be the better understood I have annexed to this
specification the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Figure 1 is a plan of the complete apparatus. Figure 2 is a side elevation of the
same. Figure 3 is a view of the shield detached from the apparatus. Figure 4 is a
section along the line A, B, Figure 3.
In carrying out my object I fix in one end of a suitable holder A a thermometer B.
To the same end of holder A over the thermometer B and around the end of the holder
is placed a shield C preferably formed of zinc which is so shaped that whilst thoroughly
protecting the thermometer it shall allow free contact of the " sponge or other
mixture or other substance with the thermometer, and shall at the same time be pointed
or otherwise shaped to facilitate the entrance of the apparatus into the "sponge
other mixture or substance. The thermometer is provided with a scale or index D
which may be graduated in any suitable manner; for the further protection of the
thermometer 1 place over the same piece of glass E.
,,
or
In order to employ the apparatus the user will plunge the same into the "sponge"
or other mixture or substance, the temperature of which is to be estimated when it
will come into contact with the lower part of the thermometer and communicate its
temperature to the mercury contained therein and thus cause a rise of the same in the
tube and the temperature to be indicated.
By this means I am enabled to ascertain if the desired temperature has been reached
which in bread-manufacturing is of the utmost importance in producing sweet and
wholesome bread for public use.
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 thermometric appliance substantially as and for the purpose described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Velocipede Saddles.
We CHARLES BROWETT, Gentleman, of Westfield, Coventry in the County of
Warwick, and WILLIAM JAMES PICKUP, M.B., London, M.R.C.S., England, L.S.A.,
London, of 24 Bishop Street, Coventry, aforesaid, 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 is directed to the improvement of saddles for velocipedes,
with the view of obviating the perineal pressure to which the rider of a velocipede is
liable, and which may be a source of serious injury to him.
In velocipede saddles hitherto employed, the fore part has been formed with a
narrow pommel, which being prominent, cannot fail to give pressure direct upon the
anterior part of the perineum, particularly the urethra, should the rider lean forward
over his work, or otherwise shift himself forward off his natural seat.
According to our invention the pommel of the saddle is divided longitudinally, and
the division is carried backward, preferably beyond the middle of the saddle.
In the accompany drawing we have illustrated our invention :-
Fig. 1 of which is a plan view, and-
Fig. 2 a front view, shewing it as applied to a suspension saddle.
Fig. 3 shews, in plan, its application to a saddle plate.
In forming the suspension saddle, the leather seat is cut down the middle from the
pommel rearwards, and the edges of the cut are folded under. The rear of the seat is
supported as usual on a suitable bracket, while the points forming the divided pommel
are rivetted on to a forked supporting piece, which may be arranged in form of a
spring (see Fig. 2), carried in any suitable manner on the saddle framing which it is
preferred to employ.
The saddle plate, shewn in Fig. 3, is preferably of metal, and may be leather
covered, or stuffed if desired.
The division of the pommel is in this case effected recessing the metal by stamping
or otherwise, so that the central portion lies considerably below the level of the seat.
The seat plate may however be cut, as in the case of the leather suspension seat, and
supported on a forked bracket in a similar way.
It will thus be seen that the construction of saddle hereindescribed, renders pressure
upon the anterior part of the perineum, and on the urethra especially, which occupy
a central position in the human fork, an impossibility, at the same time the divided
pommel gives sufficient support for the rider on either side of the above mentioned
parts, should be, at any time, occupy a forward position on the pommel.
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 :-
Constructing the seats of velocipede saddles with a divided pommel substantially as
described, for the purpose of preventing pressure on the anterior part of the perinceum
and on the urethra of the rider.

An Improved Bakers' Peel.
GILBERT FROST Carpenter 30 John Street Plymouth Devon do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvement in bakers peels consists in connecting the shaft to the blade which
consists of a simple straight or taper hole being bored in the blade of peel at the
base according to requirements of the trade the shaft of peel
made taper or
straight to suit the hole bored in the blade of peel. In the end of shaft or bottom of
hole bored in blade of peel, I fix a screw so that when the shaft is placed in blade of
peel, and turned round the screw naturally draws the shaft firmly into the blade
of the peel, and makes a firm joint for any purpose a baker may require for either
placing any goods in the oven, or taking out the same.

An Improved Bakers' Peel.
I, GILBERT FROST, of 30 John Street, Plymouth, Baker, 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 bakers' peels employed for the purpose
of placing articles to be baked into and taking same out of ovens and the like.
In the accompanying drawing illustrative of my said Invention, wherein Figure 1
is a plan, Figure 2 a longitudinal section and Figure 3 a side elevation of the
handle of my improved peel. A represents the blade and B the shaft or handle.
I form a straight or taper hole in the thickened or base portion of the blade A within
which the end of the handle B, which is correspondingly shaped, is inserted.
A screw a, the longitudinal axis of which corresponds to that of the shaft or handle B,
is inserted into the end of the latter and serves to draw the blade A and handle B
together when the latter is turned round, thus effecting a very simple yet withal
effective joint which may be additionally strengthened by the screw b which is passed
transversely through a portion of the blade A and through the end of the shaft 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 :-
The means employed for attaching the handles or shafts of bakers' peels to the
blades thereof substantially as set forth and shown.

THOMAS SMITH & ALBERT EWEN 42 Frederick Street Birmingham Manufacturing
Jewellers 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 bracelet is first stamped in two straight strips, then clipped & pierced, then
mitred & soldered together, (still in the straight strip) & then turned up into the
shape of a bracelet in a press.
T.
Figs. 1 & 2 show the manner in which open curb chain bracelets are now made
from the chain with the wires A. & B. soldered inside the bracelet to support the
chain as in Fig. 1.
They are also made as in Fig. 2. with the single wire C. to support the chain
as shown in drawing.
Fig. 3. is a correct drawing of our improvement in the manufacture of open curb
chain pattern bracelets by the process of stamping we thus do away with the
wires A. B. &C running round the inside of the bracelet to support the chain,
we do not use chain as the bracelet is entirely made by stamping & piercing.
The meeting edges of the two strips forming the bracelet lie in the same plane, that
is, on taking one strip and setting it down upon a flat surface the edges would lie
in contact with this surface all round.
What is meant by mitering the strips together, is that when one strip is placed
on the top of the other the meeting edges of the two strips are identical & touch
each other all round.
The soldering is effected all round the meeting edges.
The bracelets are made with the usual joint and snap which does not show in
the drawing

page_text: ine reatures or novelty станей are:—
That by the above process of making open curb chain pattern bracelets it does away
with having the chain made first & then a wire or wires soldered inside to hold it in
the shape of a bracelet.

Fig. 1 is a face view of spring. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the concave and
convex bonds as before described, and in its position when out of nozzle. Fig. 3
shows a spring fixed on the tube and put into a nozzle. The act of putting it into the
nozzle causes the top part of spring to be pressed against the centre tube, and this
causes the bottom and centre of spring to be projected outwards and against the side
of nozzle, and thus fixing the socket tightly into the nozzle..
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 spring fixed to a piece of tube which on being pushed into a nozzle has three
binding actions, viz. at top bottom and centre, as previously described and illustrated.
