Improvements in and relating to Couplings for Connecting Metal
Pipes to Sanitary Earthenware Vessels.
GEORGE CHISHOLM Junior The Craigs in the Town and County of
Stirling N.B. Plumber I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
It relates to sanitary pipes, chiefly metal ones & earthenware vessels associated
therewith & has for its object,
1st. To adapt such pipes for automatically forming an air & water-tight joint to
the outlets of earthenware closets, sinks baths or such like vessels.
2nd. To adapt such pipes for being quickly united to or separated from these
vessels.
In carrying out this invention I form two metal halfround glands with ears or
lugs formed upon them, screwed bolts pass through these & bind the glands to
the earthenware horn or pipe.
The bolts which secure the glands pass through a hole formed upon the heads of
two screwed bolts. These bolts when in position are at right angles to the gland
bolts and are in line with the metal pipe which slips into the earthenware horn or
pipe. Before entering the metal pipe into the earthenware horn or pipe I slip
over the metal pipe a metal collar."
This collar has ears or lugs with holes bored through same so as to allow the
last-mentioned bolts to pass through these lugs. A washer formed of rubber or
any other suitable material is fitted tightly upon the metal pipe in front of the
above-mentioned cellar.
The orifice of the metal pipe is slightly bell-mouthed so as to prevent the rubber
washer coming off. This washer is pressed against the face of the earthenware
horn or pipe when the collar is drawn up by means of the nuts upon the screwed
bolts. These glands, bolts & collar may be made of brass or any other suitable
material.

Gentleman.
I REGINALD WILLIAM JAMES of the Firm of Fell and James of 1 Queen
Victoria Street in the City of London Chartered Patent Agent 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 tanning of skins and has for its object the provisions-
of means whereby the complete process of tanning is effected in a much shorter space
of time than is required by the usual ordinary process and the spreading of the hides.
in the pits and the employment of corrosive acids and the like are entirely avoided.-
In order to carry this invention into effect the skins are first deprived of the hair in the
usual way and are then placed into a vat or cylinder of brass or any other convenient.
material into which is poured the usual tanning solution.
The vat is then hermetically sealed and the contents are subject to hydraulic
pressure produced by any suitable well known apparatus for the purpose the pressure-
being preferably between 5 and 6 atmospheres. Every 24 hours or so the tanning
solution is strengthened or partly renewed which operation is repeated until the-
tanning process is complete. The average period of operation of this process is-
from 15 to 20 days for calves skins and from 50 to 60 days for cows skins.
It will thus be seen that by this process the duration of time necessary for the
tanning of skins is considerably reduced and the resulting skins are more uniform
and have greater suppleness.
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 process of tanning skins consisting of the treatment of the skins within an
hermetically closed chamber with a solution of tan under hydraulic pressure
substantially as and for the purpose described.

FREDERICK FOWLER, 7 Claremont Road, Sparkbrook Birmingham Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improvement in the manufacture of curling pins giving several advantages
in use.
I take a piece of wire or other adaptable material and shape it to form a suitable
long oval, or other shape frame, leaving the two ends free and crossing each other.
The other end or elbow of frame has a short straight surface left to allow of centre
bars to hinge upon or swing round frame at that point. These centre bars are
formed by a piece of wire or other suitable material being bent upon itself and
making a single hinge joint with the elbow of frame. The hair being rolled upon the
centre bars, and frame swung to, the pin is locked by passing the free ends of frame
past the centre bars and re-crossing on the other side of centre bars. The curler is
thus simply complete and I avoid all rivets and also the shearing surface so destructive
to the hair and obtain the advantage of the curler being absolutely secure in the
hair.

A New or Improved Inkstand.
THEODOR EICHHORN, of Zawodzie, near Kattowitz, Silesia in the German
Empire, Clerk, 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 inkstand, the contained ink of which is kept free
from dust, and in which the depth of the ink for the pen to dip into may be
regulated at will.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 illustrates the improved inkstand in
vertical section, and Figure 2 shews it in plan.
The ink receptacle consists of a vessel or reservoir a within which is arranged
the funnel or tube f, the upper end of which is preferably shaped to facilitate the
entrance of the pen. This end extends above the apparatus while the lower end is
carried nearly to the bottom of the ink receptacle. Combined with the ink
receptacle a is an air compressing chamber b the two being in communication
through the passage c. The chamber b is provided with a piston d which may be
moved either down or up to force the contained air into the ink receptacle or to
draw it back again. The movement of the piston may be conveniently effected by
mounting it upon a rotatable screwed rod. The air chamber and the ink
receptacle are closed by the air tight lid g and an indiarubber or other
suitable packing is interposed between the piston and the walls of the air
chamber.
Suitable retaining devices for the lid g are indicated at i.
A suitable quantity of ink is placed within the receptacle a and of course rises
to the same level in the funnel f. By screwing down the piston d the air contained
in the chamber b is forced, or part of it is forced, into the receptacle a where it
exercises pressure upon the surface of the ink. The level of the ink in the funnel
consequently rises and may be raised to any desired extent. When air is exhausted
from the receptacle, or the pressure is relieved by the reverse motion of the piston,
the level of the ink contained within the funnel is lowered.
An inkstand constructed as described prevents undue evaporation of the ink and
protects it from dust, while at the same time the funnel, into which the pen is
dipped, may be kept constantly supplied with a convenient depth of ink. The
inkstand may be easily cleaned and the supply of ink replenished.
The inkstand may have combined with it, additionally, a box or the like for
containing pins or other articles, or it may contain a brush for cleaning the pens, as
illustrated in the drawings.
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 :-
An inkstand, consisting essentially of an ink receptacle, a funnel or the like into
which the pen is dipped, and an air compressing chamber or device, all constructed
and arranged substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

I, RAIMUND ZEISE, of Egelsdorf, near Konigsee, Thuringia, Germany,
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 has for object to so treat or prepare quills as to adapt them for
use as holders for cigarettes, cigars, paintbrushes etc., and according thereto one
end, or each end, is turned over inwardly for the purpose of strengthening the
stem of the quill, as will now be explained by reference to the annexed drawings
in which
Fig. 1 shows a quill end turned over inwardly according to this invention in its
simplest form. As will be seen the eud a' of the quill is turned inwardly upon
itself this turning over being effected by pressing the end of the quill against the
bottom of a recess in a suitably heated hollow block e. The recess is of practically
the same diameter as the quill with the object of preventing the quill from giving
way outwardly and also of guiding inwardly and turning over the end a¹ of the
quill. If desired, the block e may be provided with a cylindrical mandrel d that
wholly or partially fills the interior of the end a¹ as shewn. The turned over end
of a quill as described with reference to Fig. 1 may be flared out as shewn at a' in
Fig. 2 this being effected by pressing it upon a heated mandrel f.
Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the end a' of the quill after having been
turned over as shewn in Fig. 1 is turned over outwardly as shewn at a³ this being
accomplished by pushing the same over the mandrel d.
Fig. 4 illustrates a modification in which the lower end a¹, of the quill after
having been turned inwardly and outwardly as shewn in Fig. 3 is flared or widened
out by being pressed upon a heated mandrel f, as shewn at a'.
Fig. 5 shows a quill, whose end a' after having been turned over inwardly as
shewn in Fig. 1 is turned over inwardly a second time (as shewn at a³) by pressure
against the bottom of a recess in a heated block e.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. A quill having one or each of its ends bent over upon itself one or more
times, and whether or not the end of the quill thus treated be flared substantially
as described.
2. The method of turning over the ends of quills by pressing them against
heated blocks of suitable form substantially as described.
3. My improved quills constructed as hereinbefore described with reference
respectively to and shewn in Fig. 1 and as modified in Fig. 2 in Fig. 3; in Fig. 4;
and in Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawings.

about 50 to 70% of coke grit or coke dust,
20 to 45% of slack coal or coal dust, and
about 10 to 5% of pitch.
As because of its smokelessness this fuel has become an absolute necessity to
manufacturing operations where the factories lie in cities, and as in production of
these brickets the otherwise worthless material left after sieving coke is utilized
advantageously, its consequent cheapness should also recommend it to wider
circles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said

I claim is :
The production of smokeless fuel with or without the addition of slack coal, the
principal features being that coke, coke grit, or coke dust with, at option, an
admixture of slack coal, is or are cemented or bound together by means of pitch
and after the ordinary process worked up into brick-like blocks or brickets.

movement of the jaw L.
N and N' are cutters placed in the jaws L and A' and serve to cut any small.
article that is placed between them. The small semi circular recesses R and R' in
the jaws L and A' are adapted to firmly grasp small rods, like the spokes of a.
bicycle-wheel for instance, and hold them while being worked upon.
The end of the lever member H is provided with teeth T so that the two parts H
and A may be used together to form a wrench.
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 :-
In a tool the combination of a principal member and a lever member pivotally
connected to each other, one end of the principal member being curved and having

Process for Solving and Reintegrating Vulcanised India Rubber.
I, ERNEST SEFTON, of 71 Cathedral Square, Christchurch, in the Provincial
District of Canterbury, in the Colony of New Zealand, Inventor, 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:-
Hitherto there has been great difficulty in solving india rubber which has been
vulcanised so that large quantities of the article employed in the arts or
manufactures and discarded through breakage deterioration or other cause are
thrown away.
I have discovered a ready means of solving vulcanised rubber consisting in
placing it, in a vessel containing liquid hydro-carbon, such as coal-tar naphtha or
benzine or bi-sulphide or carbon. The vessel is hermetically sealed and the
contents subjected to a temperature of not less than one hundred and forty degrees
Fahrenheit for about seven days.
The vessel may be heated by any ordinary method such as surrounding it by a
steam jacket.
The india rubber which at the conclusion of the process is in a fluid or workable
condition retaining the vulcanising materials it contained before the process may
be run into moulds or treated in any usual manner.
I am aware that the solvents mentioned are used for solving india rubber which
has not been vulcanised but vulcanised rubber is very slightly affected by them
unless heat is employed in a manner analogous to that above specified.
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 process for solving vulcanised india rubber consisting in heating it in contact
with liquid hydrocarbon or bi-sulphide of carbon the containing vessel being
sealed to prevent evaporation of the contents substantially as herein specified.

An Improved Manufacture of Cotton Yarn.
We LLEWELLYN WYNNE ROBERTS of Alderley Edge, in the County of
Chester, Merchant, and JOHN CROMPTON WOOD of 32 Landsdown Road, West
Didsbury, in the same county Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates principally to the manufacture of polished cotton yarn
suitable especially for the manufacture of fabrics, such as what are known as
"glissades" and the like, in order to produce a new and ornamental effect upon
such fabrics; and the invention consists of a specially prepared polished grandrello
yarn.
Ordinary grandrelle yarn can not be polished to give the bright effect which
we desire for the above named fabrics; we therefore polish our single yarns or
ends before they are doubled or twisted together to form the grandrelle yarns,
and we thereby manufacture yarns which when woven for example into stripes
in the "glissade" or lining fabric produce a novel brilliant and ornamental effect
upon the fabric.
This improved grandrelle yarn may be used for other fabrics than those above
described, wherein a polished cotton yarn is required to produce a bright grandrelle
effect.

Improvements in Ring Spinning and Doubling Machines.
1, ROBERT TAYLOR Junior, of Asa Lees and Company Limited, of Soho Iron
Works, Oldham, in the County of Lancaster, 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 ring spinning and doubling machines
and the object of my invention is to make a simple, efficient and cheap construction
of brake for the spindles of such machines.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of a spindle and its accessories
mounted in the ring rail of a spinning or doubling machine to which my improved
brake is applied.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of part of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a detail view of the brake.
Figs. 4 and 5 are elevation and plan respectively of a modified form of my improved
brake and
Fig. 6 is an elevation of another modification.
In Fig. 1, a is the spindle rail, & the spindle fitted in a bolster o secured to the
rail by a screw nut d, f the wharf with which is cast a collar g, or the collar night
be secured separately on the spindle; this collar g forms the surface to which the
brake is applied.
My improved brake consists essentially of two parts h and i the former of which
fits on to the bolster c between the rail a and the nut d and is shaped with two
projections h' to receive the elbow shaped brake lever i; when is removed from
the bolster c the piece i can be dropped into its working position a projection
resting upon a portion of the piece h and forming a fulcrum on which i can be
moved; the upper end of i is chambered to receive a wooden or other suitable
brake block; cut out to fit the collar g as shown in Fig. 2, and secured by a small
Bcrew k.
When the parts and i are in their working positions as shown in Fig. 1, the
parti is effectually locked by the rail a, and this construction avoids the necessity
of any pivot or hinged joint.
In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the piece h is fitted on the bolster as
before and a small stud or projection is cast upon it and a hole is cast or made
in the foot of the lower portion of i which fits over h' the rail a forming a lock as
before described.
In Fig. 6 the projection is formed on the lever i and the hole in the part /.
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 several combinations with the spindle rail a and nut d, of the parts h and i
substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Process of Converting Ferric Oxide into Magnetic
Oxide of Iron.
I RÓBERT HARRISON PEAK, of Main Street, in the Town of Orlando, County of
Orange and State of Florida, United States of America, retired Physician, a citizen
of the United States, 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 processes for converting ferric oxide into magnetic oxide
of iron and consists in an improved process for the treatment of ferric oxide for
such purposes, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
The ferric oxide is first finely ground (the finer it is ground the better the result)
and when thus prepared is then placed in an air-tight vessel or retort (a revolving
retort being preferable) and while in the retort is subjected to heat at a temperature
somewhere below the fusing point of iron from one hour and a half to four hours
according to the fineness of the material employed; it is then allowed to cool in its
own gases, the air being entirely excluded and the result is that the ferric oxide is
converted into magnetic oxide of iron, the mass being magnetic in proportion to the
purity of the ferric oxide thus treated."
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 process for converting ferric oxide into magnetic oxide of iron which
consists in heating the ferric oxide in an air-tight vessel, and then allowing it to
cool in its own gases, the air being excluded, substantially as set forth.
2. The process, for converting ferric oxide into magnetic oxide of iron, which
consists in grinding the ferric oxide into a fine powder and then heating this powder
in an air-tight vessel, advantageously a revolving vessel, and then allowing the
product to cool while free from air, substantially as and for the purposes set
forth.

Improvements in or relating to Ooke Furnaces.
I, FRANCIS JOSEPHI COLLIN, Engineer and Building Contractor of Dortmund,.
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
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to horizontal coke-furnaces and consists in an
arrangement for the direct firing of the middle of the furnace from the front of the
furnace.
. There are many constructions of coke furnaces in which by-products are obtained
at the same time, the object of all these constructions being a uniformn firing of tho
furnaces and more particularly of their side-walls. Most of the arrangements
hitherto used do not however allow of a eufficient supervision or control of the Hues
at the points where the combustion gases are introduced; besides in consequence
of the great length of the furnaces (in the usual constructions over 10 mtrs.) it is
extremely difficult to maintain in the middle of the furnace tho high temperature
required for quick coking, without producing local overbeating at the points where
the gas is introduced.
By the present invention these defects are remedied. The arrangement according
to the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a vertical section of part of a furnace, on line z- of Fig. 2, which.
is a longitudinal vertical section on line - Fig. 1, Fig. 3 being a horizontal
section on line y-y, Fig. 2
In order to allow the furnace to be fired from both enda and to render a constant.
supervision or control of all parts of the flues in the walls possible, longitudinal
and transverse Alues a are arranged in the walls of the furnace and between them
small gas-supply pipes r extend directly to the middle of the furnace and through.
which the gas is introduced in such manuer that it is completely burned in the
wall-flues or passages. Air is admitted separately at each side through air
pipes p and pl which introduce air at the same place at which gas is admitted into
the wall flues as before mentioned. The soot that may be deposited in the
pipes may be quickly removed by cutting off the gas-supply and by admitting
atmospheric air.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A coke furnace having horizontal wall-flues in which gas-supply pipes are
placed in the brick work of the furnace walls between the longitudinal flues and
extend to the middle of the furnace for the purpose of enabling the middlo of the
furnace to be fired directly from the onter ends and whereby a constant control or
supervision of all parts of the wall-flues may be obtained.
2. The construction and arrangement of a coke furunce substantially as.
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
