Improvements in Material used in the Manufacture of Appliances
for Burning Smoke in Steam-boiler Furnaces.
We JOSEPH LEVER of Number 11 Marsden Square Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Engineer JOB HOLLAND of Number 11 Marsden Square Manchester
aforesaid Merchant and WILLIAM HENRY TODD of Number 9 Tib Lane Manchester
aforesaid Solicitor 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:-
A great number of appliances for burning smoke in steam boiler furnaces are
made of fire clay or some other refractory material. Most of these appliances fail
through the fact that the alternate heating and cooling which they have to undergo in
such furnaces causes the material to be disintegrated and the appliance destroyed. It
is therefore desirable that such appliances should be manufactured of some material
which will stand this alternate heating and cooling without being destroyed or
disintegrated.
In order to effect this object we use alumina or hydrate of alumina in as pure a
state as can be economically obtained for the material out of which to construct all
such sunoke burning appliances.
In order to use alumina or hydrate of alumina for this purpose we construct moulds
of the required shape and put the alumina or hydrate of alumina into the moulds.
We then beat the moulds to incandescence for two or three hours or as much longer
as may be desired, whereby the alumina sets or becomes more or less hard. The
longer the moulds are heated the harder the alumina becomes.
The object of the use of moulds is to keep the alumina in the required shape until
the action of the heat causes it to harden.
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. The use of alumina or hydrate of alumina as the material for the manufacture
of appliances for burning sunoke in steam boiler furnaces.

An Improved Apparatus for Tightening Hoops on Boxes or Bales.
JOHN MCCLURE of Donlure Bloomfield near Belfast Ireland 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 improved apparatus for tightening hoops on boxes or bales will be understood
froin the following description reference being made to the sheet of drawings here-
with in which the same letters and figures of reference always apply to the same or
like parts.
Fig. 1 is a side or edge view of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a top or front view of the apparatus.
Fig. 3 is a partial section on line X X drawn on a larger scale to shew parts
clearly.
This improved apparatus consists of a portable frame (a) made of steel malleable
cast iron or other suitable metal in which are carried in two journals (a¹) a rotating
clip (c) with a ratchet wheel (c) attached and which is actuated by a pall or
catch (6) carried on a hand lever (b) which is swung back and forward upon the
spindle of the rotating clip (c) by the manipulator, the ratchet wheel (c) being kept
from turning backwards by a spring catch (c²) on the underside of the ratchet
wheel (c).
On the frame (a) there is also an eccentric (e) and lever (e¹) which are carried on a
spindle (e) which is parallel to the axis of the rotating clip (c).
The operation of tightening hoops on boxes or bales by means of this apparatus is
performed as follows. The portable frame (a) is laid against the package and one end
of the hoop (d) is passed between the eccentric (e) and the floor of the frame (a) the
handle (e) is turned from the position shewn in dotted lines in Fig. 1 to the position
shewn in full lines. In the former position the eccentric (e) is free from the floor
and space
is given for the admission of the hoop (d) and in the latter position the
hoop (d) is firmly held between the eccentric (e) and the surface of the floor (a).
The opposite end of the hoop (d) is slipped into the nick or groove (3) in the end
of the rotating clip (c) which is then turned round by means of the handle (b) until
the desired tension on the hoop (d) has been obtained when the ends of the hoop (d)
are punched and rivetted together in the usual manner. The eccentric (e) is then
relieved and the apparatus is free to be removed endways clear of the hoop.
With this apparatus the operation of tightening and fastening hoops upon boxes or
bales is simplified more than half the time saved and tighter binding obtained than by
the usual methods.
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 arrangement and combination of parts forming the apparatus herein described
and illustrated for tightening hoons on boxes bales or packages.

Improvements in Wash Boilers.
I, JOHN THOMAS MCCAFFREY, of Red Bud in the county of Randolph and State
of Illinois, United States of America, 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 :-
My invention relates to wash-boilers.
The object of my invention is to construct a cheap and durable wash-boiler; and
to this end the nature of my invention consists of constructions and combinations, all
as will hereinafter be set forth in the specification, and particularly pointed out in
the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which-
Figure 1 is a vertical section of a boiler with my improvement, and Figure 2 is a
vertical section of the steam-chamber.
A is the boiler, in the bottom of which is placed my improvement.
B is the suction apparatus, having a base-plate soldered to a band c, and having
perforations c¹.
D is a steam-chamber, having secured to its bottom a tube d, of sufficient diameter
to fit over the tube 6 of the base-plate. From the sides of this steam-chamber D
project tapering arms E, provided with nibs e, which point downward. The diameter
of the tapering arms at their junction with the steam-chamber is less than the
diameter of the tubes 6 and d, for the purpose of forcing the water upon the clothes
with greater force. Upon the inside of the steam-chamber, and a short distance
above its bottom, is secured a supplemental bottom F, in such manner that it equally
divides the outlet-holes leading to the tapering arms É to allow of the steam passing
up into the steam-chamber.
The apparatus can be made of different sizes to fit different boilers, and the steam-
chamber can also be made of any size.
The operation is as follows:-The water ascending the tubes b and d strikes against
the supplemental bottom F of the steam-chamber D, and is deflected in the direction
of the arms E and escapes through said arms, while the steam which has passed to
the steam-chamber acts upon the water as it is passing through the arms and forces
it out and through the clothing with greater force.
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 a wash-boiler, the combination of the perforated plate C, tubes b and d,
steam-chamber D, provided with a supplemental bottom, and the tapering arms E,

page_text: 2. In a wash-boiler, the combination of a perforated plate, a steam-chamber having
tapering arms, and a supplemental bottom dividing the passage to said arms, and
tubes connecting said perforated plate and steam-chamber, substantially as shown and
described.

Improvements in Printing Appliances.
We, GUSTAF DILLBERG, of Darlinghurst, Sydney, in the Colony of New South
Wales, Electrician, and JAMES ALEXANDER PHILP, of Paddington, Sydney, in the
Colony of New South Wales, Journalist, 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 well known that writing or printing can be done by means of a type writing
machine and that a letter or cypher is printed in ink on the paper when the type
carrying lever is raised or depressed, as the case may be by means of a key when
manipulated by the operator.
According to our invention we employ a machine on the bar-type-writer principle
possessing bar levers to which the keys (manipulated by an operator) are attached,
which when depressed actuate the type carrying levers as in the "Caligraph," the
Remington" and the "Barlock" type writing machines. We dispense with the
ink carrying contrivance of the type writer and also with the use of paper on which
the letters or cyphers are registered. In place of the latter we use papier maché
or unglazed paper treated with glue or starch or a suitable mixture of litharge and
gelatine, being capable of taking and retaining in perfect condition the impression
of an object, the surface of which carries figures in relief or otherwise, such as
ordinary type or the like.
This material we will hereinafter refer to as "matrice."
When a lever is actuated in the same manner as it is in a type writer when
writing or printing is being produced on paper the type will be pressed against the
matrice, the matrice receiving and retaining an exact impression of the type.
The matrice moved along in a similar manner to that of the paper in a type
writing machine will in this manner receive as many separate impressions of the
types as the number of times the type carrying levers are manipulated.
When the matrice has received as many type impressions as is desired, the
matrice is removed from the machine and treated by the ordinary stereotypic
process for printing purposes.
We are aware that it has been proposed to produce line matrices in a machine on
the type-writing principle and we make no claim therefore for such invention.
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 :-
The use in an ordinary type writing machine of a sheet of matrix material of
the kind described for the purpose and substantially in the manner as herein set
forth and described.

A Double Club for use in Gymnastic Exercises.
ADOLF ALEXANDER STEMPEL of 75 Albany Street in the County of London N.W.
Instructor of Gyinnastics 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 thereof that is to say :-
This invention relates to improvements in double clubs for use in gymnastic
exercises, and consists in constructing such clubs with double enlarged or weighted
ends instead of with only one weightel end as has been the practice with single clubs
hitherto in use. The middle part of my double club is constructed of a diameter
sufficiently small so as to be easily clutched or held by the hand of the user and is
provided with two projections for preventing the club from shifting in the hand when
in use; this middle part may likewise be smooth, roughened or slightly cut on its
surface for a similar purpose. Fig. 1 of the accompanying sheets of drawings repre-
sents side view of a club according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal
section of the same. a a¹ are the two enlarged or weighted ends and 6 6 are the two
projections formed on the middle portion of the club. c is the said middle part of the club
constructed so as to be easily held by the hand of the user and which may be smooth
roughened or slightly cut on its surface as shewn to prevent slipping when in use.
By constructing clubs according to my invention they are more efficiently operated
by the user than is the case with ordinary single clubs, a more even balance being
secured for performing a greater endless variety of figures, or exercises whilst at the
same time giving increased play to the wrists fingers fore-upper arms and shoulders
of the user while giving more scope for the skill of the operators.
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.
1. The double clubs substantially as described and shewn in the accompanying sheets
of drawinca

1, EDWARD THOMAS BIGGS of 32 High Street Maidenhead, Berks Watch 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:-
The object of my invention is to provide a pipe of about the usual dimensions, that
shall present to the smoker all the advantages of one with a long stem, giving a dry
and cool smoke.
For the object of my invention I construct a pipe which may be of any desired shape
and size and may be made of wood or other suitable material as desired. The stem is
made of convenient length and of any suitable material but preferably of metal tubing
of very light section, the hollow interior of this stem is filled up by a solid stem of
wood, metal, or other material, of such a size length and thickness as to slide inside
and exactly fit the same. Down the whole length of this internal stem I form a
spiral groove, through which the smoke is drawn when the pipe is in use. To the
end of this internal stem I affix a mouthpiece of any desired shape, size and material.
My pipes may be made in any design, either plain or ornamental but preferably with
a straight stem. By the use of my invention, a cool dry smoke is obtained in the
same manner as by the use of a pipe with a much longer stem and without its
inconvenience.
In the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the pipe, and Fig. 2 a section, in which A is the bowl,
B the hollow metallic stem C the mouthpiece. D, Fig. 2 the internal solid stem with
the spiral groove cut upon its surface, through which the smoke is drawn. The letters
refer to corresponding parts in each instance.
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 :-
1. A pipe of ordinary dimensions giving a long, cool and dry smoke without the
inconvenience of a long stem.
2. Greater facility for cleaning the pipe in all its several parts as substantially in
manner herein set forth, described and illustrated.

Improved Process of Wine-seasoning Casks and Apparatus
therefor.
We, WILLIAM PHAUP LOWRIE, and ROBERT BARR of the firm of W. P. Lowrie & Co.
Bonded Warehouse Keepers and GEORGE SCOTT, Foreman all of 45 Hope Street in the
City of Glasgow, 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 the soaking of the inside of new or old casks with
wine by an improved process whereby the use of old wine casks for imparting flavour
to whisky or other spirits in wood may be dispensed with, the process of treatment
being also applicable to old casks.
.
In carrying out our invention we employ apparatus such as is delienated in the
accompanying drawing said apparatus consisting of a coil of piping A, or a receptacle
of any description placed in a furnace B, or a steam boiler or otherwise subjected
to high temperature and through which air is forced by means of a blower C,
towards a perforated delivery tube or nozzle D, so constructed as to distribute the
air equally over the cask or valve E, being fitted on the pipe to regulate or shut.
off the hot air supply. The cask to be treated is placed over the delivery nozzle D,
which may be fitted with a universal joint so that it may conveniently he passed
through the bung hole of the cask and highly heated air is driven in so as to dry
up the inner surface of the cask. After thus driving out moisture from the pores of
the wood the cask is removed and a quantity of sherry or other wine sufficient to
charge the pores or saturate the wood is poured into the cask which is rolled over to
bring the wine in contact with the whole of the internal surface, or the cask may
be fitted on a pivot fixed into the bung hole so that it may be turned over or
revolved.
Thereafter when considered desirable hot or cold air is forced into the cask under
pressure to drive the wine into the wood. For this purpose a branch pipe provided
with a valve may be fitted to connect the pipe A, so that the same apparatus may be
employed for drying the wood of the cask and for forcing the wine into the pores or
an air pump may be attached to the delivery nozzle when extra high pressure is
required. Old casks are treated by the process above described after steaming and
seasoning by the method described in the Specification of our Letters Patent
Number 3769 of 1888.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The process of wine-seasoning casks by air drying the wood and adding wine
thereto substantially as described.
2. The improved apparatus for wine-seasoning casks herein before described with
reference to the annexed drawings.

Improvements in Blocks for Gutters, Paving, and the like.
I, BYNG THOMAS GIRAUD, Architect and Civil Engineer, of 37, Chesilton
Road, Fulham, London, 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:-
The principle gutter blocks or bricks which are now in use for the purpose of
surface drainage especially in the stalls loose-boxes, and passages of stables being
either so sharp at their edges as to lacerate the hocks of the horses as they streatch
their legs while lying down; or so deep and narrow as to render it difficult to
remove the secretions by the ordinary method of washing. This invention is
intended to do away with the possibility of injury to the horse, from the gutter,
and to enable the area of any surface to be kept in a dry and sanitary condition by
the more rapid removal of liquid and refuse.
The blocks or bricks are to be made of varying dimensions and material; but are
to have all of them, on the upper surface thereof, the form of a double S curve.
The surface to be plain, as shewn on Sheet 1, grooved as shewn on Sheet 2-with
✓ shaped or with semicircular grooves; chekered or otherwise rendered less
slippery to the feet.
These blocks are to be laid in the usual way and bedded on sand or on concrete
and cement as the case may require, so as to form a continuous open surface
drain.
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
1. The use of gutter blocks or bricks of the special forms described for the
purpose of draining away, superfluous water, urine, or refuse from the surface
of areas such as yards and urinals and the stalls, loose-boxes, and passages of
stables.
2. The adaptation of the double S curve to form the upper surface of a gutter
block or brick for drainage.
3. The use of any material of which blocks or bricks for the purpose of drainage
or paving are composed; such as stone, earthenware, clay (burnt in a kiln) concrete
or cement composition, to be made into the form above described.

Gloucester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It relates to the apparatus employed to promote uniformity of gas pressure by
reducing excessive pressure; thereby economising the consumption of gas as is now
generally well understood. The object of this invention is increased durability and
simplified construction. The inverted cup (which floats in mercury or some other
liquid) I coat with vitrified enamel and also some other parts of the said apparatus.
I make the seating of the valve and the guide in a simplified form and in one
piece of metal into which the valve is fitted. The seating is fixed in the bottom of
the governor, an arch or bridge rises off it in which is formed a socket to act as
guide for the spindle of the valve to work in.

I, JOHN CORMELL Merchant of Lansdown Cheltenham in the County of
Gloucester, 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 and accompanying drawings:-
This invention relates to the apparatus employed to promote uniformity of gas
pressure by reducing excessive pressure thereby economising the consumption of
gas as is now generally well understood.
The object of this invention is increased durability and simplified construction.
The regulator is automatic in action.
In the drawing attached hereto "A" is an inverted cup which is coated with
vitrified white enamel to prevent corrosive action of the mercury and gas; other
parts of the apparatus are protected with enamel or other substance. The
trough "B" is partly filled with mercury or other liquid in which the cap dips and
rises and lowers itself with the action of the gas passing through the valve and
underneath the cup. The valve "C" with its spindle attached to the cup moves
up and down and automatically regulates the passing of the gas for consumption.
I make the seating of the valve "D" and the bridge or arch E and guide F in a
simplified form, namely, in one piece of metal. The spindle of the valve works in
the socket of the guide, the same is fixed in the bottom of the regulator. The
cover "G" is fastened to the body of regulator with two studds "H" rivetted to
the cover; the studd on one side of the regulator has a tee head which slides into a
slot; the other studd shuts into a slot and is provided with a padlock to secure the
before-mentioned cover.
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 :-
--
1. The combined form of valve seating with bridge or arch and guide for valve
substantially as described and shown in the annexed drawing.

consist of leaden frames with bars of sheet lead soldered upon them.
Now according to this invention instead of soldering the bars to the frame they
are united by electric welding. Thus battery elements are produced which are very
much more durable than those made by soldering.
This durability results-from-the joints-being-made-by-the-direct-junction-of-lead-
and lead without the introduction of a heterogenous material such as solder which.
contains tin in admixture with lead.
