An Improved Device for Facilitating the Drawing of Food
receptacles and other Articles out of Waggons or Carriages-
Used for Transporting the same.
I, BERNARD STEINGRÖVER, of the Firm of Steingröver and Co., of
No. 15 Deisterstrasse, Linden vor Hannover, in the German Empire, Manu-
facturer, 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 improved means comprising a carrier provided with a
drawing-out device for facilitating the drawing of pots and other food-receptacles
or other articles out of waggons or carriages used for the transport of the
same.
In the accompanying drawing:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation,
Figure 2 a front end view, and
Figure 3 a plan showing the said apparatus.
The pot-carrier, which serves for the reception of the food pots or vessels in the
food transport vehicle, comprises a drawing-out device, by means of which, after
removal of the pot nearest the waggon door, the more distant pots can be drawn
out, go as to permit of these being also removed from the waggon without taking
out the pot-carrier.
The pot-carrier a, which is preferably made from sheet metal, is formed with
walls at its sides and is provided with a slot f in the middle, in which moves the
vertical limbe of the draw-rod e which is made of wire, whilst the horizontal
limb g is led through a guide c arranged at the underside of the pot-carrier.
The drawing-out device is provided at its front end with a handle e and is
formed at el into a vertically arranged frame b. The frame b engages with the
last pot d standing on the pot-carrier a, and pushes all the pots in front of it towards
the opening of the waggon when the handle 2 is pulled.
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 carrier provided with a draw-rod which is arranged beneath the said carrier
and has its rear part extending through a longitudinal slot in the same and is
formed into a frame to engage with the rear side of the last pot or other article on
the said carrier, substantially as described.

CHARLES DAY of 32 Tuilerie Street, Hackney Road, London N.E. Gum
Cleaner and Merchant trading as Charles Day & Company 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 invention has for its object to produce a liquid varnish which is of superior
lustre, which preserves the surfaces of articles to which it is applied, which is not
liable to spontaneous combustion or to give off explosive or combustible gases, and
when applied is of great durability.
For this purpose I prepare a compound of gums, bitumen, ivory black and turps,
the latter being in sufficient quantity to liquefy the compound to the consistency
required to enable it to be readily applied by a brush.
I have found that the following materials, proportions, and method of dissolving
and combining the same, are effective.
Gum damar
Gum elemi
Gum thus
Bitumen
Ivory black
Turpentine
1 pound
1 pound
1 pound
1 pound
half an ounce
- 1 gallon
I place the gums in cold turpentine and allow sufficient time to liquefy the
same; the bitumen is melted by heat and, when sufficiently thin, I add the liquefied
gums and turpentine and then the ivory black, the whole being continually stirred
while being added together and until sufficiently blended.
By the use of the gums herein referred to, the preparation acquires bardening,.
elastic and drying properties.

page_text: I would here remark that the proportions of the materials above named may be
somewhat varied.
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 :-

THOMAS BASHFORTH residing at Haigh in County of Lancaster carrying on the
business of Iron Founder at Haigh Foundry near Wigan do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The nature of my Invention is an Axle Grease Box for use on Railway Engines
Waggons Carriages etc. instead of being cast all in one part they shall be cast in two

Dated this Second day of November 1896.
I, THOMAS BASHFORD, Iron Moulder, Haigh Foundry, Haigh, near Wigan, in the
County of Lancaster, 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 nature of this invention is an improved method of manufacturing axle boxes
using as a lubricant, either grease or oil, whereby the said axle boxes are made in
halves, which are counterparts of each other, these halves being connected together in
any convenient manner; and I further declare that by means of a loose oil or grease
box bottom, the two sides inay also be secured together, in the manner to be
hereinafter described, and further, that the bottom proper of the axle box, can be cast
with the two sides, or can be loose like the bottom of the oil or grease box.
In the drawing, A is an axle working on the brass step B. This step is supported
by the loose bottom of the grease or oil box D, as shown. This piece D, as said, also
serves to connect the half E to the half F. The halves can also be secured by bolts
as shown in the drawing, or in any convenient and suitable manner. By my invention,
each balf of the axle box can be simply cast in the green sand, without the use of
cores, as in the usual axle boxes. In the case of oil being used in these axle boxes,
the piece I can be supplied with lubricators for lubricating the shaft, and casting the
grease box lid G, half with the piece E, and half with the piece F, and drilling a hole
for a set screw and to pour the oil in, thus keeping the oil clean and safe. And more-
over, I declare, by my invention, in the case of a part of the axle box being broken,
it is only necessary to renew one half, because, as said, the halves are counterparts of
oach other

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
1st. The two similar sides.
2nd. The loose grease box bottom as a fastener for the said sides.
3rd. The right of casting the bottom of the axle box proper, either as part of the
sides E and F above referred to, as shown in the drawing, or as a loose piece similar

I, CASPER WILHELM BREMSHEY of Ohligs, Rhenish Prussia, Umbrella 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 improvements in the runners of "self opening " umbrella
frames. These frames as is well known open automatically by the action of a spring.
On the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a runner made in accordance with
my invention, Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a vertical section and Fig. 3 an
enlarged sectional view.
Referring to the drawings:-
Under my invention the inuer sleeve or ferrule a, which slides on the umbrella
stick b, is made much shorter than heretofore. Further, within the outer sleeve c is
fitted a runner or ring d having a turned over edge or flange a. Between the
runner d and the bent over lower edge of the outer sleeve c a space is left for the
reception of the catch e¹ of the spring e.
As will be seen from Fig. 3 the catch e' is securely held in position by the turned

The spring for automatically opening the frame is fitted in place between the
runner d and the disc a¹ of the sleeve a.
The outer edge of the sleeve c is bent over at g so that the ring which holds the
usual stretchers i can be fixed directly thereto.
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 consider
novel and desire to claim is :-
Runners for self opening umbrellas consisting of a sliding sleeve c which is bent
over at its lower end and a ring d, made with a bent down edge d', placed in the
sleeve c and upon which the spiral spring rests, substantially as herein before
described with reference to the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Dress Shields.
1 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SUTTON of No. 228 South Street in the City of New
York in the State of New York, United States of America, 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 what are commonly known as dress shields, consisting
ut a moisture-proof flexible material for incorporation into those portions of dresses:
which come under the arm pits. The object is to provide such a shield which will
not only be self-ventilating, but will serve to ventilate the clothing, and to this
end my invention consists in a shield which is corrugated in such form as to
constitute, in connection with the adjacent parts of the dress and body of the wearer,
a series of channels, which will be alternately collapsed and dilated by the move-
ments of the wearer, in such manner as to produce an active circulation of air-
through them.
Fig. 1 of the drawing is a side view of a shield constructed according to my
invention, one corner of the shield being represented as turned over to show the
corrugations in the inner faces of the two leaves of the shield.
Fig. 2 is a view of the lower edge of the same.
The shield may be of the shape generally adopted for such shields, and may be
made of soft india rubber, vulcanized or properly cured, or of any suitable fabric
which is pliable or flexible in all directions, and coated with rubber to render it
proof against perspiration. The corrugations a, which constitute the distinguishing
feature of my invention, might run in various directions, but I prefer, generally,
that they should run upward and downward, as shown in Fig. 1, as running in that.
direction, they will provide efficiently for the circulation of air over the inner and
outer surfaces of the shield, in such manner as to afford perfect ventilation to the
adjacent portions of the dress.
In a dress provided with such a corrugated shield, the slightest movement of
the arms, and even slight movements of the body, cannot fail, by the variation in.
the pressure on different parts of the shield, to produce repeated collapsion and
dilation of some or others of the air channels a. In being thus collapsed, the
channels will have the air expelled from them, and in the dilation of said channels,.
consequent upon the relaxation of pressure, air will be again drawn into them. In
this way, the circulation of air over the shield and within the surrounding portions
of the dress will be unfailable.
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 dress shield of pliable and flexible material corrugated to form, in connection.
with the dress and body of the wearer, when in use, a series of collapsible and
dilatable tubular channels, substantially as herein described.

I, OSCAR LINDNER, of No. 21 Wielandstrasse, Nuremberg, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 improvements in the manufacture of lead pencils and
pencils of chalk and slate, the object being to construct a pencil which will not
require to be cut or "sharpened" when the lead becomes worn or broken, but the
lead or chalk can be forced outwards from its holding case or shell by means of a
pin provided and carried in the shell or holder. The pencil possesses the
advantages of maintaining an uniform length of holder or case until the lead or
chalk is altogether worn away, and all cutting or sharpening is obviated.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Fig. 1 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of the improved
pencil.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the improved pencil.
According to this invention, the shell or holder a is made of paper, and a metal
thrust pin c is provided, said pin c having a cap d at its top part, and a block of
india rubber fis inserted in the shell or holder a by means of which the lead 6 is
held in position.
The paper shell or holder a is made in the following manner: A strip of paper
of suitable length is covered with paste, or saturated with a solution of shellac and
spirits, and rolled round a steel pin or mandril corresponding in size with the lead b.
When the desired thickness of casing a is reached, the shell is dried, and a
longitudinal hole is formed in it into which the pin c is placed. Another notch cut
near the lower or writing end of the shell or holder à receives a block of india
rubber f which protrudes a trifle into the hole in the shell a, and pressing against
the lead b, holds the latter in position. Finally, the shell or holder a, including
the pin c and india rubber block f, is covered with a sheet of coloured or plain
paper according to taste, and the notches cut are thereby hidden.
If the lead has slid inside the shell or casing a, or is a little worn by writing,
the pin c is drawn out of its holder, and it is used to force the lead & outwards the
required distance, when the pin c is withdrawn, and replaced in its holder.
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 paper case or holder a having the recesses or holders and the lead or
chalk b, pin c, and rubber f, all in combination, and as and for the purpose herein
described, and substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings."

Improvements in Armourings or Coverings for Electric Cables.
I, HENRY EDMUNDS, of 39 Victoria Street in the City of Westminster,
Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to armourings, or coverings, for electric cables of the class
wherein the component wires interlock with each other; and the object of my
invention is to effect economy in manufacture and to improve the article produced.
According to my invention the wires are made of two different forms alternating
with each other. One form consists of ordinary round, or equivalent, wires, and
the other form is, in cross section, formed with side recesses to receive the sides of
the adjacent round, or equivalent, wires, so that the last named wires are held
by the two adjacent wires by engaging with the recesses in the sides thereof, whilst
the recessed wires are, in turn, held by the two adjacent round, or equivalent,
wires. An armouring, or covering, can thus be made much more economically
than hitherto as one half of the wires are of the ordinary round, or equivalent,
section, and only the remaining half of special section. The one set of wires,
usually the round, or equivalent, set, is made of copper, or like good conductor, and
the others are made of iron, or like strong protector.

by the following statement:-
Previous methods of producing charcoal fuel blocks or briquettes from waste
wood, sawdust or other disintegrated wood, have been incomplete because only a
loose final product or charcoal dust was obtained, which for the purpose of further
utilization was required to be pressed into a solid shape after mixture with suitable
binding agents.
The improved method forming the subject of this invention consists in forcing
briquettes or blocks of sawdust or other disintegrated wood into suitable chambers
from which atmospheric air is excluded and where the said briquettes are subjected
to a high pressure while being heated until the volatile gases are expelled from the
wood and the briquettes have become similar in structure to ordinary charcoal.
Owing to the constant pressure the briquettes are held together and retain their
exact original shape, so that without any further treatment they will form a saleable
product when cool. The apparatus employed is the same as that commonly used
for this purpose. The process is carried out in retorts, which are heated and the
bricquettes are passed through the retorts under a constant pressure.
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 process of manufacturing solid briquettes or blocks of charcoal from waste
wood, sawdust or other disintegrated wood, which consists in heating briquettes or
blocks formed of sawdust or other wood, under pressure while excluded from air
until they are reduced to charcoal, substantially as described.

Improvements in Sight Feed Lubricators.
I JAMES LIONEL GRANDISON of Allen Street, Lower Broughton, Manchester,
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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in eight feed lubricators of the condensor
or piston type and has for its object to provide means whereby communication is
automatically cut off between the sight glass and oil receptacle immediately the
sight glass breaks, thus preventing a rush of steam, oil and water into the engine
room which is so objectionable.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings showing my invention as applied to
the condensor type" of sight feed lubricator, Fig. 1 being an elevation partly in
section and Fig. 2 a cross section at line A-B.
In carrying out my invention the improvements consist in employing in the
passage which leads from the oil receptacle a to the sight glass b, preferably in
the lower part of the nozzle c, a check valve d, which valve I may form with a
long stem or needle d'. The lower end of the nozzle c I form with a seat c¹ and
with a side port (or ports) c² through which the oil enters the nozzle c and sight
glass b. Under normal conditions, the said valve is off its seat and rests upon the
valve spindle e whilst when the sight glass breaks the pressure from the condensor
(or the oil receptacle in case of piston type of sight feed lubricator) raises the
valve d against its seat c' and thus instantly cuts off communication between the
sight glass, oil receptacle and condensor.
When fixing a new sight glass in place of a broken one the valve d is pressed
off its seat by applying pressure upon its stem or needle d' so as to allow the oil
to enter the sight glass again.
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-
In sight feed lubricators, the employment of a check valve d in the passage
leading from the oil receptacle a to the sight glass 6 for the purpose of automatically
cutting off communication between the said oil receptacle and sight glass when the
latter breaks, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in the Frame and Gearing for Whisks, Mixers, or
Cake Making Machines.
1, THOMAS MORTON of Belhaven Works, Wishaw in the County of Lanark,
Scotland, Master Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvements consist in having the frame made or formed in one part
instead of two or more as formerly, and also in having the vertical spindle formed
with a fixed or loose ruff or collar on the top end of same, which ruff or collar
forms a shoulder and said shoulder resting on the top of frame carries the bottom
half of the beater and also the top bevel pinion. In the machines presently on the
market, the ruff or collar is formed on the spindle some distance from the end and
rests on the top of the bottom bevel pinion, and as said spindle revolves in an
opposite direction to said bevel pinion, the friction caused thereby is very con-
siderable. By means of my invention this ruff or collar on spindle is resting and
revolving on a stationary part, so that the friction and consequent wear and tear is
reduced to a minimum.

I THOMAS MORTON of Belhaven Works Wishaw in the County of Lanark
Scotland Master Mechanic do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what mauuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the frame and gearing for whisks
mixers cake making machines and the like, and consists in having the frame A
made of the form shewn in the accompanying drawings which however may be
slightly modified without altering the principle so that said frame A may be cast
or formed in one piece instead of two or more pieces as is the case in all other
frames used for this or similar purposes, and also in having the tie bar B formed
on the frame A and connecting the lower part of said frame A with the top journal
or bearing C which is thereby supported and held in position.
The said frame A is bored at the top journal C to fit the spindle D which passes
down through the two bevel pinions E and F. The top bevel pinion E is secured to
the spindle D by a pin cotter or other suitable means, but the bevel pinion F is
bored so that it may revolve freely on the aforementioned spindle D and in the
frame A the boss of said pinion is turned so that it may fit into and revolve

An Improvement in Gas Cylinders and the like.
I LEWIN TERREY of 55 Chester Street Kennington Road in the County of
Surrey Manufacturer and Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
I cause a series of corogations to be formed in gas cylinders and the like spirelly,
vertically, or horazantally eather the number of corrugations will vary according
to the sise of a cylinder viz. a large vessell will have more corrugations than a small
cylinder the spiral will commence at the base of the cylinder and will continue up
on to the neck the spiral, or corrugations may be formed during manufacture or
after the cylinder has been formed.

An Improvement in Gas Cylinders and the like.
I, LEWIN TERREY, of 55 Chester Street, Kennington Road, in the County of
Surrey, Merchaut, 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 object is to so construct the cylinders and the like vessels employed for
storing gases and liquids under pressure that in the event of the pressure of the
gas or liquid increasing to a sufficient extent the cylinder or like vessel shall
be capable of expanding and that if the pressure becomes too great for the
cylinder or like vessel to resist, and the latter is in consequence ruptured, the
danger incidental to such rupture shall be very much reduced.
For this purpose I corrugate either a part or the whole of such vessel, either
spirally, longitudinally, transversely, or otherwise so that in the event of the
pressure of the gas or liquid contained in such vessel increasing to a sufficient
extent the said vessel will, owing to said corrugations, expand, and if the pressure
be increased beyond the point which the said vessel can resist and a rupture
take place, such rupture will follow one or other of these corrugations and
consequently involve less risk of accident.
The accompanying drawings illustrate three methods whereby my invention may
be carried into practical effect.
Of these drawings Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section of a cylinder formed
with the longitudinal corrugations; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a cylinder formed
with spiral corrugations, and Fig. 3 a like view of a cylinder with transverse
corrugations.
The corrugations may be formed during or subsequent to the manufacture of the

page_text: cylinders, or other vessels, and the size of such may be varied according to the
size of the cylinders or vessels.
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 vessel for containing gas or liquid under pressure having the sides or surfaces
thereof corrugated substantially as and for the purpose described.

ROBERT LAVENDER Manufacturing Chemist, of 29 Wilberforce Road
Finsbury Park N. and WILLIAM TICE Gas Engineer of 1 Wellington Chambers
Westminster S.W. 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 increasing the illuminating power of coal or other
gas by placing over, or on the burner, whether Argand or otherwise, a disc, or cap
of metal or other suitable material in such a position as to divert or direct the
outer column or current of air into the blue or Bunsen coloured flame at its exit
from the burner, combined with which is placed in or upon the centre tube or
carrier, a cone, disc or cap, perforated or otherwise, for directing the column or
current of air from the inside also, into the said flame.
The size or shape of the said disc or cap would obviously vary with the size of
or description of burner used.
