An Improvement in Hydraulic Stop Valves.
We, WILLIAM CARTER, of 32 King Street, Chester, Engineer, and THE
HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING COMPANY LTD. of Charles Street, Chester,
Engineers and Iron Founders, 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 permit the stuffing boxes of valves, more
particularly those used in high pressure hydraulic systems to be packed at any
time without taking the pressure off the mains or interfering with the working of
the machinery actuated by the hydraulic pressure.
The accompanying drawing is a vertical section of a hydraulic stop valve to
which this invention is applied. A is the valve which when closed is screwed
against the seating B. On the back of the valve A we form a valve face D
which, when the valve is full open bears against a seating E provided in the
cover forming a watertight joint preventing access of water to the stuffing box F
in which the packing can be renewed while the valve is quite open and the main
is under full pressure.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The construction of a hydraulic stop valve with a valve surface on its back to
close against a seating in the valve box cover, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.

Improvements in Surgical Bandage Materials.
I FRANZ BINGLER of 9 Oppersheimerstrasse, Ludwigshafen on the Rhine,
Germany, Surgical Instrument Maker, 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 said invention relates to improved webbing or binding material consisting of
cotton or linen gauze or other suitable fabric prepared with glue or gelatinous
substance and gypsum or plaster for use in surgical bandages.
I prepare the said binding material in the following manner-
The gauze linen or other fabric is spread out and coated or impregnated with a
warm glue or gelatinous matter and when this is set and nearly hard a layer of
gypsum or plaster is scattered over. The whole is then rolled up and preserved in
a closely fitting box.
To use the material it is dipped in hot water to soften the glue or gelatine then
allowed to cool sufficiently to permit of its being applied to the part to be bandaged.
Over each layer of gypsum binding a lap of ordinary cotton binding is laid and so
on until a sufficiently large bandage is produced which hardens quickly into an
indestructible elastic bandage well suited for use in surgery.
Usually three layers of gelatinous gypsum binding and a similar number of
layers of ordinary lapping suffice.
In a modification of my said invention the gypsum may be omitted and the
binding used simply as a gelatinised fabric which will soften under the action of
hot water and stiffen on cooling after application.
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. Bandaging material consisting of textile or other suitable fabric coated with
glue or the like gelatinous substance capable of softening in warm water and
gypsum or plaster substantially as set forth and described.
2. Bandaging material consisting of textile or other suitable fabric coated or
impregnated with glue or the like gelatinous substance capable of softening in
warm water.

London S.E., Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in coin-freed machines, being a double
action self delivery automatic machine which preferably is constructed mainly with
a set of wheels, spring and lever, and two endless metal bands with projecting
shelves. The wheels are brought in motion by one or two strong steel springs or
springs and catgut or chains, and stopped by a four-armed lever. The lever works
with two arms on an eccentric wheel with grooves; the third arm stops the last
wheel or windfan, and so also the works when the arms on the eccentric wheel drop
into the grooves; the fourth arm is the one on which the penny or other coin
works. On the right and left of the machinery, fixed on the axle of the main
wheel on which the springs or catgut or chain works, are pulleys or wheels over
which the endless metal shelf bands travel and are set in motion.
The shelf bands are constructed of small metal or other angle plates forming
suitable shelves according to the size of the articles to be delivered and linked or
joined together with hinges into endless bands or rings.
The action of the machine is as followes: The coin dropped into the slot, falls
with its weight against an arm of the lever, lifts the lever from the groove of the
eccentric wheel and the last wheel or windfan and all is set in motion by the strain
of the spring, travels half the distance between two shelves of the metal bands,
then the lever falls into a groove on the eccentric wheel and in the last wheel or
wind-fan and stops the motion.
The goods are delivered from the lower part of the bands and the openings there
are so arranged that the articles fall out of the shelves of the bands into a tray,
once on the right the next on the left, then on the right the next on the left
and so on.

JOHN PHILIP LEECHMAN 48 Oakley Road Ranelagh Co. Dublin 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
The inflatable tube forming the tyre is made in sections, or separate pieces, with
closed ends, A.
Connected to these are hollow tubes, or cylinders, B, in which are air-tight
pistons (composed of the piston proper, C, and the usual rod C¹) on which the air
presses.
When the pressure of air inside the cylinder is greater than outside, the
piston C, is kept in position either by springs, or by connecting sections together,
as in Fig. II.
Fixed projections, of any convenient form by which the piston can be kept
stationary by coming in contact with or clutching to, are provided.
The portion of the tyre touching the ground becoming depressed, pressure is
conveyed into the cylinder, and as the piston is stationary as described, the cylinder
is forced back, and it being fixed to the wheel, the pressure is conveyed to it, &
tends to revolve it on its axle-the improvement aimed at.
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 tyre to be composed of sections, with cylinders and pistons attached, so that

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process for the Preservation of Fish Liver.
I, CARL MATHIAS ULSTRUP DAILE, of Stanisund, Lofoten, in the Kingdom
of Norway, Chemist and Factory Manager, 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 a reduction of the boiling point of the oil, when it is
used for the boiling of fish liver, in order to prevent a diffusion, i.e. to prevent that
the oil, in which the liver is boiled, shall be mixed with the oil contained in the
liver itself.
If the liver were boiled in oil at the natural temperature of boiling oil under
atmospheric pressure, (ca. 300° C.) the tissues of the liver are burst, by which
both the oils are mixed together, and a diffusion will take place.
The liver is boiled in oil for the purpose of driving out as much water as possible,
retaining all the train oil of the liver.
Generally in the so called "boiling of oil" of the liver, the oil cannot be
"boiled," as the liver does not bear it; the oil is "warmed" only, to a little over
the boiling point of water, when the oil does not itself boil, and during this process
the firing must be carefully looked after, in order that the temperature of the oil
may not be too high.
By my improved process of reducing the atmospheric pressure by a partial
vacuum, the proper boiling in oil is effected and thereby two important advantages
are obtained, namely that the actual boiling of the oil will be more preserving to
the liver, and that the water of the liver will more easily, and in greater quantity,
be removed; for the boiling point of the water has also been reduced by the
reduction of pressure, whereby the evaporation increases. A suitable reduction
of pressure below atmosphere for my purpose is represented by 12 inches of
mercury.
I may obtain such partial vacuum by any different sorts of air-exhausting-
apparatus.
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 the process for the preservation of fish-liver, the boiling of the liver in oil
under a vacuum, so that the necessary temperature of actual boiling shall not be
sufficient to burst or destroy the tissues of the liver, substantially as described.

JOHN WESTWOOD LEA and JOHN HALL PERRINS, Chandelier Manufacturers,
of Midland Works, Bracebridge Street, Birmingham 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 refers more particularly to the quick action in fixing and releasing
lamp shades, globes and the like.
The usual method is by means of radial arms, on the top of which is a projection
tapped out to receive a slow winding screw, which passes through from the inside
of globe, and when screwed up bears against the globe, or shade, thus holding same
in position.
To overcome this tedious process of fixing and releasing globes and lamp shades,
we have invented a holder, consisting of a lever actuated by a quick winding screw
working underneath & fastened to a radial arm.
The drawings filed with our Provisional Specification No. 13414, and the
following description, will help to make clear the manner in which our invention
is carried into effect.
A radial arm, consisting of two, three or more radial arms. B lever, pivoted
to A and slotted for screw D, to open and close B. C drilled and tapped projection
of arm A, for screw D. The screw D to have a fixed head, and a small shoulder
at the opposite end, and go through slot in B and receive fixed washer F.
To open lever B turn screw D to the right. Reverse screw to close it.
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. Fixing & releasing lamp shades, globes and the like by means of a lever
actuated by a quick winding screw, and fastened to a radial arm.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
My invention consists of a new method for making the barrel part of pencils, pen-
holders, metal ends of penholders & paperknives, so as to produce two or more
colors on the surface of same.
My plan is to employ two differently colored thin enamelled tubes, the one being
of larger circumference than the other. In this tube of larger circumference I cut
slits at certain intervals and then, placing the smaller tube inside the larger, the
color of the smaller tube shows through the open slits in the larger and so produces
a contrast of colors.

in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for object the producing of two or more contrasting colors on
the surfaces of pencil-cases, penholders, paper-knives and metal ends of penholders.
I secure this object in the following way-1 take two metal tubes, the one of
slightly larger diameter than the other, and in the larger of the two I cut several
longitudinal slitted holes. The larger tube is of one color and the smaller tube is
of one or more colors differing from the color of the larger tube. I next place the
smaller tube inside the larger, slitted tube and it then results that the one or more
colors of the inner tube show through the slits cut in the outer tube and so produces
an effective contrast of colors.
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
A Patent for the above novel method of producing various contrasting com-
binations of colors on the one surface of either pencil-cases, penholders, paper-
knives or metal ends of penholders.
