I, HERMANN MÄDE, Manufacturer of Waldenburg in the Kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire 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 purifiers in which the middlings are
impelled through the gauze by means of brushes and has for its object, the sorting
of the grist or middlings and at the same time to remove the husks or bran from the
iniddlings.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 shows a cross section of a purifier constructed

letters denote the same parts in both figures.
A is the casing enclosing the whole of the mechanism which consists of a fixed
compound cylinder the lower portion B of which is made of mill gauze and the upper
portion is formed of smooth metal.
The brushing device rotates within the cylinder and consists of a number of
brushes D. These brushes answer a double purpose namely to drive the middlings
through the silk gauze and also-to propel the husks or bran (by reason of the centri-
fugal action arising from their rapid rotation) into the bran spout E whence they are
carried away in the usual way.
The sifted material which passes through the gauze is conveyed away, by
the worm G which is driven from the main shaft by the wheels Hand T
and belt J. The machine is driven by means of a belt and the fast and loose
nulleys K and K¹.

page_text: 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
1st. In a middlings purifier the combination of the compound cylinder B b fitted
with internal revolving brushes D with the bran spout or outlet channel E substantially
as described.

COME ELE DI VITIATION,
A New Fluxing or Protecting Material for Use in the Welding,
Brazing, and Coating of Metals.
I, PHINEHAS PEARSON CRAVEN of 20 Gower Lane Forest Gate, in the County of
Essex, Gentleman 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, that is to say :-
This invention relates to the application and use of a certain material as a flux, or
as a protecting medium to prevent oxidation, in the processes of welding brazing and
coating metals, especially iron, steel and copper. The material in question is an
earthy substance found in a natural condition in certain parts of the world, for
example in the neighbourhood of Port Augusta in South Australia, but for which
material, so far as I am aware, there is no recognised popular or scientific name.
This material varies somewhat in its chemical composition; but analysis shows it to
be composed more or less as follows.
I employ this material for welding or brazing much in the same way as horax and
some other welding and brazing compositions are ordinarily used, that is to say by
sprinkling the surfaces of the metal, where the welding or brazing is to be effected,
with the powdered material while the said metal is being raised to the welding
or brazing heat.
I also plate or coat one metal with another by raising one of the metals to a
suitable temperature, then sprinkling its surface with the above described material,
and plunging the heated metal so prepared into a molten bath of the metal I propose
to apply thereto, when a coating of the molten metal will adhere to the metal plunged
therein, for example iron may be coated with copper in this way.
By the use of this material I am enabled to weld iron to iron, copper to copper,
steel to steel (even cast steel to cast steel) or any one of these metals to either of the
others with great facility, and the union of the metals effected by its aid is much more
perfect than that effected by the aid of any other welding or brazing material or
composition with which I am acquainted.
I have described the material as especially applicable to the welding or brazing of
iron, steel or copper, but I do not confine myself to its application to those metals as
it may be applied to the welding or bracing of other metals whose welding or brazing
temperatures and other properties are suitable for its use.

page_text: 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 :-
The use of the earthy material hereinbefore described as a flux or as a means of
protecting the surfaces from oxidation in the processes of welding brazing and
coating metals.

Feed Water and Preventing Incrustation in Steam Generators.
Year: 1889

page_text: Feed Water and Preventing Incrustation in Steam Generators.
I, CHARLES BRADBURY, of 65 Guildford Street, London, W.C. 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 :-
In my complete specification for a patent for "A method of and apparatus for
purifying the feed water and preventing incrustation in steam Generators" numbered
1979 and dated 4 February 1889 1 described the method and apparatus according to
my invention and explained how the heat prevailing in the boiler flues helped to cause
a circulation of water between the boiler and the apparatus.
I find that with some systems of steam Generators it is difficult to so arrange the
upward tube as to get it sufficiently heated in the flues while other steam Generators
are not set in bricks and therefore have no flues through which the said upward
tube can be taken and the purpose of my present invention is to provide facility for
the efficient working of the apparatus in such cases.
The manner in which I carry my invention into effect is shewn in the accom-
panying drawings.
In my former patent above mentioned, I showed a Steam Generator set in bricks,
and having flues, whereas the present drawing represents a Steam Generator which is
not thus set in bricks.
The apparatus A remains unaltered in construction and as it was before. The
feed water inlet tube a and the downward tube c are likewise in accordance with my
former patent above mentioned. The upward tube b likewise in itself, and in its
object remains unaltered with this difference only that in lieu of passing through
the boiler flues it passes through a separate oven B, or other convenient heating

page_text: contrivance, the construction of which is of no object as long as it serves its
purpose and I lay no claim to any particular construction of such heating
contrivance.
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 heating the upward tube b described in my patent application
1979-1889 by means of separate heating contrivances, for the purpose of helping
circulation substantially as described.

page_text: I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS Sanitary Engineer of Monkbridge York, 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 :-
I provide a Gully or Yard Trap, having its underpart drawn upwards to a syphon
the longer or discharging leg of which is when in use connected with drain sewer or
other channel. By preference I also provide a slab with sunk dish & grating placed
on the top of my gully to receive water or liquid which may be discharged thereon
and retained in the body of my apparatus till such time as it becomes fall to bend of
syphon when a slight addition of liquid will cause an overflow through the outlet
syphonic action resulting and the contents of the gully or trap will be discharged to
the drain or channel with which it is connected scouring the same & preventing
deposit. As shewn my syphon has at its outlet a slight water seal or trap, this may
be replaced by a flap valve or ball or the flap or ball may be used in conjunction
with the trap or a tippling bucket or any convenient arrangement for starting the
syphon may be adopted.
My apparatus may be also used for the automatic flushing of closets with slop or
waste water.

A Packing case is made as following the four edges or angles of the Case are taken
off to form an octangular shape and on each side end bottom and top there is a piece
or pieces of wood or other material so formd as to make a square round or angle
and the said square, round or angles are fasten in the centre of the sides of the
Case-these square round or angles prevent the case from falling dead or flat when
rolld over and thereby brakes the fall of the Case and prevents the contents of the
Case, braking, as they most likely would do if these pieces was not fastend thereon or
the angles of the Case taken off to form a kind of Semi Hogshead.

CHARLES RICHARD CLARK Manufacturer and Merchant Winton Works Stoke on
Trent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE SAFE CARRYING OF
CHINA EARTHENWARE GLASS & HARDWARE IN CASES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The chief object of this invention is for an Improvement in the Shape of Packing
Cases for China Earthenware Glass & Hardware-(for Shipment).
The case is so made that it dos not flat or dead when lowerd or rolled over.
To do this I make a case in the ordinary way bound with Iron hoops & clips-
but of Octangular Shape or Semi Hogshead-(See drawing) and on the four flat
sides and each ends of this Octangular case I fasten pièces of wood or other material
so as to form a square, round, or angle, projecting about inch beyond the side of
the case as shown on drawing Marked A. These said pieces prevent the case from
falling flat or dead when rolled over, and gives the contents better protection then
when packd in crates, Hogsheads or casks.
The second part of the improvement is, that by useing these Otangular Cases
or Semi Hogsheads for Shipment the saving in the outside Cubic measurement is
over 30% for freight and the goods when so packd travel safer and better then
when packd in Crates Hogsheads or Casks.
The features or Novelty which I Clame are
1st. The Making of packing cases of Octangular Shape-(See drawing).
2nd The fixing of Souars rounds or angles in such a wor on the four fist sides

I ALBERT CHARLES AUGUSTUS HOLZAPFEL of 116 Fenchurch Street in the
City of London Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention consists of a double set of iron or steel or other metal rods of
suitable length and "to 1" square, roughened at the sides. These rods are
surrounded by a heavy steel or iron hoop. The pattern of the plate is laid underneath
the rods, whereupon the hoop is slackened and they are allowed to fall on top of the
pattern; the hoop surrounding them, is then tightened. A similar proceeding is
adopted with the second set of rods, which form the upper portion of the machine
When both sets have thus assumed the shape of the pattern a thin and plastic asbestos
plate is laid on the lower portion, and the plate to be shaped, after being suitably
heated, is laid on the top. This is again covered with an asbestos plate and the upper
set of rods is pressed on the plate by mechanical or hydraulic means till it has assumed
its proper shape.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bath Blankets and Wrapping
Sheets.
I, THOMAS TAYLOR, of the firm of Barlow and Jones Limited, of Bolton, in the
County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be porformed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of bath blankets and
wrapping sheets in which persons envelope their bodies after taking a bath and
whilst drying themselves with ordinary towels.
The chief object of my improvement is to produce a bath blanket or wrapping-sheet
which shall have the effect of producing a sensation of warmth and comfort imme-
diately it is placed over the body, which is not the case with a bath sheet of the
ordinary kind.
Bath sheets as hitherto made are commonly terry cloth woven of cotton throughout
or of cotton warp for the ground and cotton weft with a linen warp for the pile and
these sheets although they absorb moisture freely or comparatively freely and
assist in drying the body have not the well known feeling of warmth and comfort
associated with woollen blankets.
According to my present invention I weave my improved bath blankets or wrapping
sheets as a terry or pile fabric and einploy a cotton or linen warp preferably a cotton
warp for the ground and cotton also for the weft in combination with a woollen or
worsted preferably worsted yarn for the pile.
I thus obtain at a small cost bath blankets or wrapping sheets the pile of which
being of worsted causes a feeling of comfort and keeps the body practically as warm
as when enveloped in a woollen blanket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
As an improved article of manufacture a bath blanket or wrapping sheet having a
worsted or woollen pile combined with a ground of cotton or cotton and linen
substantially as and for the purposes specified.

statement:
My invention relates to metallic or other elastic tongs for use at table to facilitate
the cating of asparagus, and has for its object the means of dispensing with the
old conventional way of using the fingers for that purpose, as the torgs according to
my invention can be made of such size and shape that a pair may be placed beside
each plate in the same way as knives, forks, spoons etc.
In order that my invention and the manner and form of construction may be fully
understood have appended the accompanying sheet of drawing. Figure 1 is a
perspective view of the tongs according to my invention drawn to scale of full size,
Figure 2 is a plan view of same as the tongs would appear when lying upon the
table ready for use, the object of this view being to shew the lightness of the material
employed according to the design I prefer to adopt.
In carrying my invention into effect I employ a bent strip of metal or other
suitable material that is sufficiently elastic for the purpose, and form upon the lower
end of each member a concave enlargement shewn at A and A' preferably placed at such
an angle relatively to said member so as to hold a stick of asparagus in the proper
position for eating. The said piece of metal or other suitable material employed,
when bent to the angle shown at Figure 2, forms in itself the spring necessary to
open the tongs ready for use, the closing thereof being effected by the pressure of
the nand.
I wish it to be understood that I may elaborate the design of my invention in any
manner known in the skilled art of metal working and finishing without departing
from the principle thereof.

I FRANÇOIS GARNIER Ironmaster of Lyon in the Republic of France do hereby
declare the nature of the sail invention for AN IMPROVED METHOD OF MANU-
FACTURING METAL TUBES OR PIPES WITHOUT SOLDERING, 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 first flattening cast or forged hollow cylindrical bodies
of iron, copper, steel or other metal, then passing them to the rolling mill where they are
drawn out to the desired thickness, and finally expanding or swelling them internally
to form the tube or pipe, either whilst hot or cold, according to the nature of the
metal operated on.
The modus operandi is as follows:-1 first take a hollow inetal cylinder vide Figs. 1
and showing a plan and longitudinal section, this I completely flatten into a simple
bar as shown Figs. 3 and 4, it is then drawn side or edgeways through the rolling
mill, and then appears as in Fig. 9 which is an end view; the drawing is continued
till the thickness desired is attained as an example of this see Figs. 5 and 6 which
are a plan and longitudinal view, illustrating the appearance the bar would present
when reduced in size and thickness.
This flat bar is now converted into a cylindrical tube or pipe in the following
manner-one of its ends is firmly and hermetically closed, whilst in the opposite end
and in the central fissure a pipe is inserted which is in communication with a
hydraulic press or other appliance for forcing, liquid, air, steam or gas into the tube
for the purpose of expanding it.
In this manner the tube is completed, and would appear as shown by Figs. 7 and 8,
which represents it in plan and longitudinal section.

page_text: I ERNST WITTIG of Güterbahnhofstrasse, Dresden in the Kingdom of Saxony,
Empire of 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 consists in an improved mode of making cases or boxes of wood as
hereinafter described with reference to the annexed sheet of drawings and specifically
pointed out in the claims.
The invention is more especially suitable for cases etc. made from wood of a
thickness of from one millimeter (or under) up to about ten millimeters. In the
drawing Fig. 1 is an edge view of a plank of wood prepared for forming four sides of
shows the same bent into
the improved case. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Fig.
form or nearly into the form of the finished case. Fig. 4 is a plan view of a piece
of thinner wood marked for cutting as hereinafter described. Fig. 5 is an end view
of the same made up into the case.
The object of the invention is to construct the four sides of a case or box in one
piece without separation and to this end I cut out a piece of wood W as in Fig. 2 the
breadth of which is the depth of the sides of the case and the length of which is the
circumferential measure of the sides or longer if there be formed an overlap con-
nection for the ends. Having placed marks K along the lines which shall be the edges
of the sides I channel or cut out a V groove A upon that face of the wood which is to
be inside at each mark to a sufficient depth according to the thickness of the wood to
allow for bending without weakening too much the remaining connection. The sides
of each groove should be inclined to each other at an angle of say 90° so that the
faces of the groove may lie together when the sides are bent to form as shown on the
right of Fig. 3. In thicker wood the ends of the piece Ware cut to form corre-
sponding tenons and mortices of a dovetail joint or they may be left plain to be
fastened, the one on the other by nails or screws according to the quality of the case.
In thinner wood an extra fold L is allowed for to connect the ends for instance by
glue. rivets or otherwise as in Fig. 5.

page_text: Having prepared the wood as aforesaid it is steamed in the usual manner for
steaming wood until sufficiently pliable to be bent at the joints R, whereupon it is so
bent and the ends fastened together.
Glue may be spread in the grooves A before bending so that when dry the edges
may be the stronger for the connection of the faces of the grooves by the glue.
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 constructing wooden cases or boxes by cutting channels A in the
wood, steaming the latter and bending the same substantially as set forth.

HENRY GREEN of Maple Street Hollinwood in the County of Lancaster Weaver
and ALFRED GREEN of 74 Whitegate Lane Chadderton in the said County 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 :-
It is a Liquid composed of Muriate of Iron which will purify water, remove
crustation from Steam Boilers.
The nature of the invention is as follows:-

whole of its strength into the Iron it then becomes Muriate of Iron.
When the Liquid is applied to dirty water it causes the same to purify.
The Liquid when added to the water in Steam Boilers removes the crustation by
turning the lime that is in the scale into Muriate.
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. Improved means for purifying water.
5) Removing crustation from Steam Boilers.

LEICESTER BRADNEY STEVENS Darlington Works Southwark Bridge Road
London S.E. Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention consists of exhibiting any device desired with coloured glass the
devices having more defined edges & even colour than those in ordinary use by
means of grinding the back of the coloured glass so as to destroy the direct rays of
light. For signalling purposes I preferably use a common bulls eye lens & place the
coloured glass ground at the back next to a stencil or any opaque shield of desired
shape in front of the lens or in case of a railway signal light the coloured glass
ground at the back is placed in a movable spectacle of desired shape and by this
means I show any defined shape, device, letters &c. required for Railway, Trainway
and other purposes.

Improvements in Signal and other Lamps.
I, LEICESTER BRADNEY STEVENS, of Darlington Works, Southwark Bridge Road,
London, S.E., 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 for improvements in signal and other lamps has for its object to render
clear on dark nights or in foggy weather in any desired colour any particular shape
device or letters which shall have more defined edges and more distinct colour than
has heretofore been attained; and consists in producing the desired effect by means
of a plate of coloured glass which instead of heing plain is ground on one or on both
faces so as to destroy the direct rays of light emanating therefrom and to throw out a
more diffused light.
In applying my invention to an ordinary signal lamp provided with a common
bulls-eye lens, a stencil or opaque shield of the particular shape or device required is
placed directly in front of the lens and the coloured glass plate ground on one or both
faces is placed in front of the stencil or shield.
In applying my invention to a railway signal, the coloured glass plate ground on
one or both faces is mounted in the ordinary moveable spectacle or frame which is
made of the particular shape to be exhibited.
It is evident that if desired the manner of applying the coloured glass plate ground
on one or both faces may be modified in various ways so as to suit engine head
lamps, hand lamps and the like withont departing from the nature of my invention.
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 1
claim is
1. In signal and other lamps the use of a plate of coloured glass or other transparent
material ground on one or on both faces substantially as described and for the
purpose specified.

An Improvement in the Construction of Railway Sleepers.
I, JOHANN PHILIP EDMUND CHARLES STROMEYER Engineer to Lloyd's Register
35 Strawberry Hill Road Twickenham, do hereby declare the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention is intended to apply to such railway sleepers whose means of attach-
ment to the rails are lugs, which have been partly sheared out of the upper surface of
the sleepers. The ends of the longitudinal incisions on either side of these lugs are
subjected to very severe shearing and torsion stresses when the foot of the rail has
been wedged tight and the greatest amount of wear and tear and injury takes place
at the corners of the sleepers between the two lugs. In order to counteract the severe
stresses, the metal of the sleepers has to be thickened along two parallel lines where
the longitudinal incisions are to be placed and the commencement of the downward
curvature of the corners of the sleepers should be.placed above these lines of thickened
metal.
These lines of thickened metal, or ribs, need not extend over the entire lengths of
the sleepers, but have to exist at those points where the longitudinal incisions of the
lugs are to be placed. They are produced by rolling the plates which are to form the
sleepers in suitably shaped rolls. .
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 thickening of the metal of cross railway sleepers along two lines which pass on
either side of the lugs, for the purpose of preventing the longitudinal incisions tearing
further open.

I JOSEPH LINDLEY of 61 Grosvenor Street, Chorlton on Medlock, Manchester,
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 the manufacture of an improved stair-pad, table-
mat or other similar article and consists in cutting the same to the desired shape out
of a piece of felting either plain or dyed or printed with any desired pattern on its
surface and in whipping round the edge of the article with cotton, linen, woollen, silk
or other thread applied by preference by a Lindley and Taylor's whipping machine.
I thus not only prevent the edges fraying out but I impart to the article an
ornamental and finished appearance.
I wish it to be understood that I am well aware that stair pads have hitherto been
made of felting sewn around the edges but these have not embraced my improvements
and form no part of my present application.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved manufacture of stair-pads, table-mats and other similar articles
substantially as hereinbefore described.
