Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Oil, and the
Production of Consistent Grease Products therefrom.
I, FRIEDRICH BIEDERMANN, of No. 3, Pfeiffergasse, Vienna, XIV, in the
Kingdom of Austria, Chemist, 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 consists in and it allows of rendering consistent all
kinds of mineral, vegetable or animal oil in a simple manner for the purpose
of using the latter for various technical purposes such as for oiling or greasing.
By this process the oil to be used, which may be preferably the cheap blue
oil namely the slow volatile residue of the petroleum distillation, is mixed
with wool fat and the mixture saponified with potash or soda lye. It is then
heated in a kettle till the saponification disappears. If desired the product
may be colored by addition of any known pigments.
For practically carrying out this process there may be taken 100 parts by
weight of the oil to be used and 10 parts by weight of wool fat which may be
previously melted by heating it to 40 or 50° Celsius if desired. These are
thoroughly mixed and to the mixture 110 parts by weight) there is added while
stirring about 5 parts by weight of potash lye or soda ve preferably of 38° Bé.
whereupon the mixture is heated in a vessel till the saponification disappears.
By this process a transparent consistent grease is obtained which if desired
can be colored by addition of any pigment.
The product can be used for oiling and the like purposes in the same manner
as the hitherto known consistent greases.
The proportions of quantity mentioned above can be varied according to the
nature of the single materials, without alteration of the character of this process.
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:-
1. Process for rendering mineral, vegetable or animal oils of all kinds (mineral
oil, train oil or the like) consistent for oiling purposes, consisting therein that
the oil to be used is first mixed intimately with wool fat if desired in a melted
state, the thus obtained mixture saponified with potash or soda lye and there-
upon heated in a vessel till the saponification disappears whereupon the product
can be colored by addition of a pigment of any known kind.
2. As a new product the grease obtained by the process claimed above by ren-
dering consistent oils of all kinds.

An Improved Compound Adaptable for Use as a Lubricant and for
other purposes.
I, DAVID HARRIS, of No. 8, Tin Street, Roath, Cardiff, South Wales, Locomo-
tive Engine Driver, 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 an improved combination of substances or materials
adaptable for use in the cleaning of paint and glass, and when mixed with a suit-
able proportion of engine oil as a lubricant for the bearings of machinery.
In the preparation of the said improved compound I employ the following
ingredients in the proportions stated or thereabouts
Stockholm tar
White lead
Borax
Alum
Common soda
Carbonate of soda
Lime
Spirits of tar
Friars balsam
Water
one ounce.
two ounces.
half an ounce.
half an ounce. -
two ounces.
one ounce.
half a pound.
one quarter of an ounce.
one quarter of an ounce.
one pint.
The borax, alum, soda and lime I grind into fine powders and add the car-
bonate of soda, and when these are mixed together I add the Stockholm tar,
white lead, spirits of tar, friars balsam and water, the whole when well and inti-
mately mixed forming a creamy substance adaptable for use in the cleaning of
paint or glass. If to the above mixture I add gallons or thereabouts of good
engine oil I produce an effective clean and lasting lubricant for the bearings of
machinery.
I find in practice that in the lubricant prepared as stated the Stockholm tar
and white lead operate to prevent the whole from flowing off the bearings, while
the borax and alum operate for keeping the bearings cool, and the soda, carbonate
of soda and lime tend to keep the bearings bright, and clean, the spirits of tar
and balsam serving to preserve the whole from decomposition.
The said compound when used alone for cleaning paint and glass may be
smeared upon a cloth and employed after the manner of soft soap, the same with

page_text: the dirt removed being then washed off with water and the cleaned surface
polished with a dry cloth or chamois leather.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
-
(1) The improved compound as set forth and the use and application of same
as a cleaning medium for paint and glass substantially as described.
(2) The improved compound as set forth in combination with oil, and the use
and application of same as a lubricant substantially as described.

FREDERICK THOMAS JOHNS, Shop Fitter, 43, Dutton Street, Manchester, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
My invention, relates to improvements in sliding box covers or lids. It is
for use in showstands termed biscuit stands, and boxes for displaying biscuits
& similar goods.
The lids of the boxes in a showstand similar to the one shown on the accom-
panying drawing, have previously been hinged to the top of the box, and
supported, when open, by brass stays.
Now my invention relates to the introduction of a wooden fillet to which lid is
hinged.
The ends of this fillet run in trenches made in gables A of showstand.
The trenches are continued beyond the gables A, in molded fillets B which
are screwed to the boxes C.
At the bottom of the trenches, stops are fixed by metal screws to prevent fillet
and lid sliding out.
By sliding the lid to back of the box, in the manner, hereinbefore described,
and shown on the accompanying drawing, the necessity of using brass stays is
obviated and the lid is out of the way of the person removing goods from the
boxes.

Improvements in Burning Acetylene Gas.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, JOHN RICHARDSON WIGHAM, of 35, Capel Street, Dublin, Gas and Lighthouse
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
One of the objections to acetylene gas as heretofore used is that it has always
been necessary either to burn it at full cock or to turn it out altogether, inasmuch
as when turned down so as to reduce the consumption, carbon is deposited on the
jet, causing smoke and unpleasant smell and interfering with the proper consump-
tion of the gas when turned up again. My invention consists in a method of
obviating this. In order to attain this object I attach to each acetylene gas burner
of whatever kind or shape it may be, a high pressure needle hole jet, fed by the
gas at the full pressure of the gas-holder, the flow of gas being not interrupted by
the intervention of any valve or tap. The gas through this jet enters the air with
such velocity as to ensure perfect combustion, and prevent the deposit of carbon,
and at the same time the small light, burning at high pressure, resists extinction
by currents of air. Thus the ordinary burner may be turned off, leaving this
exceedingly small jet alight so that in order to relight the gas it is only necessary
to turn on the ordinary tap.

One of the objections to acetylene gas as heretofore used is that it has always
been necessary either to burn it at full cock or to turn it out altogether, inasmuch
as when turned down so as to reduce the consumption and make a small flame
which can be turned up again in a moment, carbon is deposited on the jet, causing
smoke and unpleasant smell and interfering with the, proper consumption of
the gas when turned up again. My invention consists in a method of obviating
this. In order to attain this object I attach to each acetylene gas burner of
whatever kind or shape it may be, a high pressure needle hole jet as a stand by,
fed by the gas at the full pressure of the gas holder, the flow of gas when burning
being not interrupted by the intervention of any valve or tap. The gas through

A New or Improved Portfolio or Cover for School Exercise Books
or other Papers.
I, LUDWIG Voss, of 30, Gretchenstrasse, Hanover, in the 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:-
In the making of portfolios and covers for covering and protecting deeds and
other documents, especially for school exercise books, in order to avoid the
necessity of using a separate label for the inscription of title and name and
yet to indicate on the front surface of the portfolio either by a brighter colour-
ing or any other peculiarity distinguishing it from the rest of the surface that
it serves for the inscription of name and title, I make the portfolio and cover
so that the whole outer surface is covered with coloured material except a space
on the side which lies uppermost of the same size and shape as the gummed
on labels hitherto in use. Or where the surface referred to is embossed like
leather or some such design either coloured or not, a smooth and uncoloured space
of suitable size is left flat for receiving the inscription.
My purpose is to diminish the cost of manufacturing this kind of cover and
portfolio by dispensing with the labels which require to be made separately and
gummed on afterwards and also to give them symmetry of appearance.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown in perspective a cover of this de-
scription for school exercise books.
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:―
Portfolios and covers for school exercise books and other papers or collections
of documents either coloured or with a pattern on them, having on the front
surface a space without colour or pattern of size and shape and position corre-
sponding to the labels for inscribing the title and name which have hitherto had
to be gummed on substantially as described.

Improved Rod or Shaft Coupling.
1, ALFRED EDMOND BURNOUF, of Bonnières, near Etréchy (Seine et Oise), in
the Republic of France, Builder, 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 object of the present invention is a cylindrical collar in one piece for
joining two shafts or cylindrical rods even such as are of different diameters.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a vertical section of a collar joining two shafts of the same
diameters.
Figure 2 is a transverse section of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a vertical section of a collar joining two shafts of different
diameter.
Figure 4 is a transverse section of Figure 3.
Ir Figure 1, A is a cast iron cylinder either turned or not, and having in its
interior and at its centre a hollow space B also cylindrical and terminating at
one end in a threaded-piece D, and at the other end in a truncated cone C.
The truncated coned rings F F are placed in the interior and are in two
pieces, leaving a space L between them which allows of a certain compression
when they approach horizontally as indicated by the arrows.
The joining of the rings is effected by means of a threaded cap E which screws
into one of the ends of the cylinder A and is hollowed internally to correspond
to the shape of the ring F.
Holes H allow the said cap E to be screwed in by means of a key. When
this cap E is screwed in it moves in the direction of the arrow, and presses the
inner truncated cone F against the truncated cone F¹. Thus the two cones come
together and consequently the shaft G is pressed against G¹.
If the shafts G G are unequal in diameter the cone corresponding to the
smaller shaft has in the interior a cylindrical bushing in two pieces or is bored
out to a different diameter to the other one as shewn in Figs. 3 and 4.
The collar has the advantage of being in a single piece and not requiring any
cotter pin and of allowing shafts of different diameter to be joined together.
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:
In a shaft junction:
1
1. A cylindrical collar having inside it a hollow in the form of a truncated
cone and a screw threaded cylindrical piece joined in the middle by a hollow
cylinder.
2. A cone such as E which screws in the threaded part of the collar A and
which is bored out inside to correspond with the cone F on the end of the shaft G.
3. Two truncated junction cones adapted to fit respectively the truncated cone

of screwing in the said threaded ring, the whole substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Telescope Objectives.
I, CARL PAUL GOERZ, Manufacturer, of 45 and 46, Rheinstrasse, Friedenau,
near Berlin, 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;-
With telescope objectives consisting of two cemented lenses, a positive crown
glass and a negative flint glass, as at present made it has in general not been
found possible to compensate more than two of faults of the image. The two
meeting faces being of the same curvature, there are only three variable sur-
faces of curvature and these admit only of chromatic and spherical correction at
the axis, so that compensation for spherical error towards the edge of the
picture cannot be made so long as the ordinary silicate glasses are used for
telescopic objectives and calculations have to be based on their use.
As it is now possible to obtain various kinds of glass the optical properties of
which vary considerably from those of the hitherto used glass, it is now possible
by choice of suitable kind of glass to improve the sharpness at the edges of
the image field.
After calculation and practical test in this direction, I have discovered that
equal magnification for all zones of the objective planes can be produced (that
fulfilling the so called Abbé formula of sines) if with the ordinary silicate. flint
Jens there is combined a crown glass lens of high refraction and low dispersion.
As an example an objective of this kind of 480 m.m. focal length and 60 m.m.
opening is shown in the annexed drawing and fulfils exactly the conditions of
the formula.
The glass to be used has the following optical qualities;-
1. CROWN GLASS.
= 0,00997
2. FLINT GLASS.

The curvatures to be given to the surfaces R, R, R, are easily found by the usual

THOMAS OWEN, 11, North Parade, Aberystwyth, Outfitter, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Apparatus for creasing trousers, the features of the invention are the separate
narrow pieces of deal or hard-wood, shaped to the form of trousers at back and
front when folded in the ordinary way, the fold of trousers is placed between the
pieces as shown on drawing, and then wedged by means of screw bolts and wing
nuts, thus bringing extra pressure on the extreme edges of fold, back and front,
causing well-defined creases on the centre of back and front of trousers.
The apparatus is light, portable, simple and effective.
The apparatus is composed of two pieces of deal or hard-wood, (about half-inch
thick,) for the front of trousers (see A) and two pieces for the back (see B),
screw-bolts are fixed through the under pieces of back and front (see C),
holes are
cut in the upper pieces of front and back opposite the bolts,
which then come through, the pressure on the trousers (whon the folds are
placed between the upper and lower pieces) is then obtained by the means of
wing nuts which are screwed on to the bolts as tightly as possible.
Besides creasing the trousers this apparatus is also a good preventitive for
bagginess at the knees.

Improvements in connection with Corsets.
I, EMILIE MERZ, of 11, Ludwigsplatz, Giessen, Germany, Married Woman, 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 connection with corsets, the object
being to provide a protector which approximately or exactly fits the form of "the
part beneath it and is removably connected therewith by laces, buttons, or other
means. In the accompanying drawing which represents a front view of a
corset opened out a is the corset and 6 the protector made in two independent
portions detachably fastened to the corset by any of the means above mentioned.
When buttons are used for the fastening they may be passed through suitably
situated holes provided near the edge of each part. The corset protector may be
made of any suitable material and ornamented in any desired manner.
provision of a protector as already mentioned renders ornamentation of the corset
itself unnecessary and thus permits of its being readily cleaned. In order that
each part of the corset protector may lie tightly against the front of the corset
it is advisable that it should be of sufficient length to turn under the front edge
of the corset and be fastened there in any suitable manner.
The
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. A corset-protector composed of two independent halves fitting the form of
the corset and removably attached thereto by lacing, buttoning or other means,
the whole substantially as described in the above specification and exemplified
by the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination with a corset of a protector substantially as described in
the above specification and exemplified in the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in and relating to Incandescence Gas Burners.
JABEZ JACKSON, 33, Cope Street, Coventry, in the County of Warwick, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: —
I provide in the place of the burner cap a cone.
This cone extends down the inside towards the bottom of the crutch holder
(by cruch holder I mean the part of the burner in which the centre support
on which the mantle is hung is fixed) & is decidedly above the outer rim of the
burner a modification of which I show in the drawing attached Fig. 1.
This cone is toothed on its outer edge as shown in Fig. 2.
This improvement can be adapted to ordinary incandescent burners now in
use or it can have a specially arranged burner built up for it.
It is equally adapted for burners which have a different mode of supporting
the mantle.

I, JABEZ JACKSON, of 33, Cope Street, Coventry, in the County of Warwick,
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 an incandescent gas burner, & to the means of increas-
ing its illuminating power, & the saving of gas.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings Figures 1 & 2 illustrate
my improvement.
Figure 1 is a part of an ordinary incandescent gas burner with a cone (A)
inserted..
This cone can be hollow & the crutch holder (B) can be fixed inside it.

BURTON HANSLER LUXMOORE, 7, St. Clement's Mansions, Lillie Road, Fulham,
S.W., 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 :-
My new game of "Regno," at which any number can play, is based upon the first
four letters of the alphabet and is played with forty eight cards :-
Consisting of eight cards called "turncoats" with both a black and red letter
thereon.
Eight cards called "loyals" with corresponding letters thereon, either black or
red.
Eight cards called "neutrals" with one letter only thereon, either black or red,
the other end a blank.
Twenty four cards called "allies" with non-corresponding letters thereon, either
black or red.
"the
The cards, after having been well shuffled, to be all dealt round in the usual way,
the player to the left hand of the dealer, as in Whist, to be the one to "open
game by playing any card he chooses.
In every case the subsequent card lain down both in letter and colour must be
identical as to one half thereof with the preceding one :-
Thus an A black must be played to an A black, a red B to a red B, a blank to a
blank and so on.
This rule holds good in the case of each and every card.
The player who first plays out all his cards dealt to him to be the winner of the
game.
If at any stage of the play it be found that no one can follow suit the game is
finished, the holder of the fewest number of points, then being declared the winner-
the relative value of each card being marked in the corner.
In the event of a tie, when playing for a "pool" the stakes, of course, would be
divided.
"
In laying down a "turncoat a player is always entitled to continue on as long as
he is able "allies" and "neutrals" only however, and to the side on which he has
lain the "turncoat."
This is called a "run."
The additional value imparted to the "turncoat," it will be noted, exists in the
fact that it may be utilized at any time for the players own convenience for the dual
purpose of changing the colour and "bent" of the game.
Moreover it possesses no numerical value.
The player of a "loyal" card always has the privilege of playing once again, if he
can do so, any card he chooses, he is moreover not restricted as to side.
Under no circumstances whatever, except in the case of an obvious and accidental
error having been made in the play, may a card having once been lain down upon
the table be taken up again.

page_text: As the game proceeds it will be found to be made the more interesting and
exciting by the players endeavouring to conceal from each other, as far as possible,
the number of cards they may hold in their hands.

Improvements in Gas or Vapour Burners.
I, WILLIAM GORDON POTTER, of 275, St. Vincent Street, Ladywood Road, Bir-
mingham, in the County of Warwickshire, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement;-
My invention relates to improvements in gas or vapour burners.
In the accompanying drawing which is a vertical section I construct a nose
piece a at the base with a tube to connect the nose piece a to the gallery c.
Inside the tube 6 I form a gas box e and to this said gas box e I fix a vertical inner
tube f and to the gallery I fix a vertical outer tube g this said tube being provided
with a stop piece at the apex. About half way from the top of the outer tube g
I fix a perforated spreader h. On the top of the gallery I place a circular ring i
with a perforated base j and to the said gallery I screw an outer ring these two
rings form the burner. The outline of the flame is given in light lines. Beneath
the gallery care cross tube m for the supply or gas to the burner. The burner
is supplied with a chimney n which rests on the gallery.
The outer part of the burner attached to the hollow spreader is lined with lava.
The float valve d of the regulator opens and closes for regulating the pressure
of gas on a street main. At the base of the burner the gas passes up from the
regulator supply to the top of hollow spreader and returns back down the outer
side of the inner tube as indicated by arrows, superheating the gas which is a
saving of thirty per cent and increasing the illuminating power some twenty
per cent. These burners can be used for all gas lighting purposes, either for
coal, oil or acetylene gas. It can be easily taken to pieces to be cleaned when
not using. A slit or Argand burner may be used and one or more rings or burner
cores with suitable air currents so as to make the light to any size.
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 gas or vapour burner substantially as described in the above specification
and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.

made preferably of fire clay and is provided with appurtenances for convenience
of use, and with ledges such as B for the reception of a wooden drainer C when
the drainer is required for use, such ledges being provided continuous or merely
as isolated projections, suitably disposed to carry the drainer, and beneath the
sink, ledges D, D, are provided, of a determined width apart for the reception of
the drainer C, when such is not required in use. At the rear of the sink a stop
or ledge may be provided to determine the position of the drainer.
The ledges D may be made either with part of the body of the sink or be made
of wood or metal and attached by screws to the body of the sink suitable screw
holes being provided in the sink for such purpose.
It will be understood that the invention is not confined to any particular form or
disposition of ledges that may be employed, and that the ledges may be provided
for the reception of other articles such as a washing board instead of the drainer.
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:-
A sink having ledges such as D for the reception of drainers or other article
substantially as described.
