Improvements in Candle Lamps or Candle Holders.
We, FRITZ MÜNTZEL and WILHELM PLAMBECK, of the Firm of P. Raddatz and
Co., Court Purveyors, of 123, Leipzigerstrasse, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
The object of this invention is to provide an improvement in candle lamps, or
candle-holders, of the kind in which the candle is constantly under the pressure
of a spiral spring, inside a case having a form similar to that of a candle, and
made of metal or other material; and is thereby pressed against the opening at
the end of the case, where the candle is lighted, so that the candle can be con-
sumed to the end, the objectionable appearance resulting from the dripping of
the wax or tallow being avoided, and the whole always appearing as if a fresh
candle were being burned.
According to this invention the candle lamp or holder is provided with a
peculiar additional piece or stem for fixing it into the sockets or nozzles of hand-
candle lamps, piano and wall brackets etc.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a vertical
section of the candle lamp or holder.
In the case, which is preferably made of metal and in a form similar to that
of a candle, the candle is constantly pressed, by means of the spring e, against
the upper and somewhat narrowed or drawn in edge a¹ of the case.
The case a
is furnished at the bottom with a screw thread d, to which the additional piece
or stem e for the fixing of the candle lamp or holder in a nozzle or socket, as men-
tioned above, is screwed. The piece e is hollow like the nozzle or socket, but
smaller, and is also made of metal. It is furnished on its periphery with binding
or plate springs f, and in its widened upper edge, with a female screw thread,
which screws onto d. The spiral spring c is supported on the upper edge e¹ of
the stem e. In this manner, a simple and easily disengaged connection between
the case and the additional piece or
socket stem" is effected.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;-
A candle lamp or candle-holder, in which the case a of a form similar to that
of a candle, and intended for the reception of the candle 6 which is constantly
pressed upwards by means of the spiral spring e is disengageably connected by

means of a screw contrivance with the additional piece
employed for fixing the candle lamp or candle holder into the nozzles or sockets
of hand candle lamps, piano and wall-brackets, and the like.

An Improved Newspaper Holder.
I, EDUARD LIEBHERR, of Göthe Strasse No. 4, Dessau, Amhalt, 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:-
This invention consists of an improved device (for holding newspapers) of
the class employed in restaurants and other public places for the orderly reten-
tion of the paper and to prevent the accidental or intentional removal of single
sheets by readers of the same.
The method of carrying the invention into effect is illustrated in the accom-
panying sheet of drawings as follows:-
Figure is an elevation of the improved holder.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section on the line A, B, of Figure 1.
The holder is constructed of a length suitable to the size of the paper to which
it is applied and it consists of a handle 1 having a top 2 attached thereto in any
suitable manner and provided with a notch 21. The central portion of the
handle is semi circular in cross section and a fastening piece 3 also semi circular
in cross section is inserted into the notch 21 of the top 2 and held at the other
end in a manner now to be described. A spring piece 5 is securely attached
by a screw 4 to the handle 1 in such a manner that the top of the spring
laps over the fasening piece 3 when in position and the bottom portion of the
spring is bent into the shape of a hook and at such a distance from the screw
that it snaps when required into a depression or hole in the handle as clearly
shown in Figure 2. The fastening piece 3 is thus firmly held top and bottom
by the notch 21 in the top and by the spring 4 at the bottom.
When removing and inserting a new paper the hook of the spring 5 is
sprung out of the depression and swivelled round upon the screw 4. Then
the fastening piece 3 is pulled out slightly from the bottom end so that it
slides away from the notch 21. The old newspaper can then be removed and
the new one inserted and to form an additional fastening for the paper, pointed
nails 7 and pegs 6 are attached to the handle and pass into corresponding
recesses on the fastening piece 3. The fastener is now put on and the spring 5
snapped into the position shown in the drawings.
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:―
An improved newspaper holder consisting of a semi circular handle provided
with a semi circular fastening piece held to the handle at one end by a notch

page_text: in a top piece, and at the other end by a pivotted spring and further provided
with nails and pegs all constructed and operating substantially as hereinbefore
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

JOSEPH JAMES COOKE, of 203, Lawley Street, Belmont Passage, Birmingham,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a pedal very light and not likely to slip from the foot,
the material used after the frame is formed is cork, or combination cork dust and
suitable glue. The cork may be of one or more pieces two pieces by preference
to one pedal and placed in same position as the rubber in other pedals, or
otherwise.
The cork may be strengthened by rivets and studs on each end, and this is best
when the cork is built up of parts and fastened together by shellac or suitable
glue.
JOSEPH JAMES COOKE, of 203, Lawley Street, Belmont Passage, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, 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:—
My invention consists of a pedal very light and not likely to slip from the foot,
the inaterial used (after the frame is formed) is cork or combination cork dust and
suitable glue, the cork may be of one, or more pieces two by preference to one pedal,
and placed in same position as the rubber or other pedals or otherwise.
The cork may be strengthened by rivits through, and studs on each end and this
is best when the cork is built up of parts and fastened together by shellac or suitable
glue.
I now describe one of the two pieces of cork which form a pedal, the form is
oblong and in section about one inch, the length about four inches, and when a hole
is bored centrally from end to end (if not for a recess pedal) it is ready to be placed
on an ordinary pedal frame by passing the usual bar through it and fixed by nuts or
rivit ting.
The cork may be of two or more pieces the bar holding them together, and may
be of any section convenient to the foot.
When the pedals or foot pieces are formed of cork dust, or chips, they are
amalgamated with rubber solution as camptulican, noulded and pressed in any
convenient manner.
If the foot pieces are built up of two or more parts they are fastened by marine
glue and with or without rivits, but I prefer each foot piece to be entire neither

page_text: built up, moulded, or glued, and they are formed best by a cork cutters knife,
and impressions burned on or cut.
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 use
of cork for pedals in the place of rubber, the rat trap, or
other substances, for the foot to press upon to cause rotation of the axles of
velocipedes.

Improved Process for Grinding Stoppers for Vessels.
I, JOSEF FLIEGEL, No. 8, Sprottauer Chaussee, Mallmitz, in the German Empire,
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:--
The invention relates to an improved process for grinding stoppers for vessels.
According to the present invention the grinding of the two surfaces is caused
to fit the one to the other and so ensure a hermetical closing of the vessel, by making
the parts of materials of a different hardness, one for example being of porcelain,
and the other of glass.
In the accompanying drawing a section of the upper portion of a bottle and
stopper is represented which is hermetically closed, the contiguous surfaces of the
bottle and stopper being ground according to the present invention.
a is a stopper made of porcelain, 6 the neck of a glass vessel, and c the con-
tiguous surfaces of the vessel and stopper.
The process of grinding in this manner renders unnecessary the addition of the
abrading material from an external source, since the projections of the soft
material, porcelain, for example, are ground off on the harder material so as to
form abrading particles which act as a means of grinding, and work equally on
both surfaces. The advantages of this arrangement, which will be very readily
seen are First, the abrading material is manufactured automatically. Second
said material is used only on those places where projections still require to be
ground off. Third, the necessary quantity of the grinding material only is
produced.
By the use of this invention all the arrangements are rendered unnecessary which
heretofore were made for adding the abrading material from an external source,
and which have not the same effect, since it would be not only very difficult to
manufacture the grinding material which is quite similar to the material of the
parts to be ground, but it would also be impossible to regulate the addition of the
same (which addition could be made on one side only) so that a properly pro-
portioned distribution of the material between the surfaces to be ground takes
place.
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:-
Method for manufacturing hermetical stoppering devices for vessels of a different
kind characterized by the following, that the edge of the vessel and the stoppering
part, which consist of material of a different hardness, are ground on each other

The polish cleaning composition is prepared as follows;-
a. Dissolve about 200 gr. crystal soda in about 450 gr. of boiling water and
add to the solution 35 gr. of petroleum.
b. Mix about 30 gr. of paraffin oil with about 5 gr. of fine wood varnish, (and
preferably with the so called sounding-board varnish) and 125 gr. of prepared
chalk (or whitening) which are to be well stirred so that a homogeneous mass is
obtained.
c. Finally add this mixture to the mixture a first prepared and there may also
be added a few drops of red aniline dye.
This entire composition comprising these ingredients is not homogeneous, for
which reason it requires to be well shaken before using. It may then be applied
with a woollen cloth to the polished surface which it is desired to clean and
evenly rubbed over. The polish appears in a short time with its original brilliancy.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
A polish-cleaning composition consisting of a solution of soda, paraffin oil,
petroleum, varnish, and chalk to which if desired a small quantity of dye may be
added substantially as described.

An Improved Method of Tanning Hides and Skins.
We, SAMUEL THOMSON, Manufacturing Chemist, and JARED A. TODD, Doctor of
Dental Surgery, both of the City of Titusville, County of Crawford, State of
Pennsylvania, United States of America, 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; -
Our invention relates to an improved method of tanning hides and skins and
consists essentially in exposing the hides and skins to the action of formaldehyd
gas until the gelatinous matter is converted into leather.
In carrying out our invention we proceed as follows:
The hides and skins, having already been prepared for tanning in the usual
manner, are suspended in a wet state, in a close chamber of suitable size, and the
chamber is thereafter charged with formaldehyd gas which can be generated in
close proximity to the tanning chamber, or even in the chamber itself.
The tanning action on the hides and skins commences immediately upon the
admission of the gas, and according to the thickness of the hides or skins acted
upon. Their conversion into leather is completed' in from twelve hours to two
days, during which period fresh supplies of formaldehyd gas are admitted into
the chamber from time to time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
:-
The improved method of tanning by exposing hides and skins to the action of
formaldehyd gas in a suitable close chamber, substantially as described.

I, HERMANN HENTSCHEL, of Königsbrück, Saxony, Architect, 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 reference to a stove which is adapted for rapidly warming
rooms with a comparatively small expenditure of fuel. This object is attained
by the provision within the stove body or shell, of hollow flue partitions or walls
as distinguished from those of metal or brick of the usual kind, said flue partitions
being traversed by air which is delivered into the room in a warm or hot state.
In the accompanying drawing is shewn by way of example a stove provided with
hollow air heating flue partitions in accordance with the invention. Figs. 1
and 2 being vertical sections thereof taken at right angles to one another and
Fig. 3 a horizontal section.
a is the stove body or shell, b and c two hollow air heating flue partitions which
may be constructed of any suitable material but preferably of iron. Owing to
their comparatively great height or length they are built up of a number of
hollow blocks suitably jointed together as by a groove in the one, and a fillet on
the other to take into the groove, and the whole fixed together.
Each of the partitions b, c, has an inlet tube or orifice & for air from the outside
of the stove and an outlet e which in the former leads through the upper part
of the stove at one side and in the latter leads through the top of the stove.
In the passage of the fire gases past and impinging against both sides of the
partitions as shewn by the arrows, said partitions are quickly heated and con-
sequently draw in through the inlets d air which is warmed in its passage through
to the outlets e and there delivered into the room again, or the inlets & may, by
means of tube connections such as f, led through and underneath the floor and
there embedded as shewn, be placed in communication with the outer atmosphere.
In this way instead of the flue partitions being fed with the air of the room they
can receive fresh air to be heated and supplied to the room. The supply of air
can be shut off or regulated by a valve g or other equivalent means.
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;-

tions b, c, provided with lower and upper orifices d, e, for the purpose of drawing.

Improvements relating to Cornice Pole Rings.
WILLIAM HENRY BAGLEY, of Viaduct Works, Aston, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to cornice pole rings, for
bamboo or metal, or wooden cornice poles, my object being to produce a strong &
durable ring at a low price, which will combiné a roller, or sliding motion when
in use, which in the case of the knots in a bamboo pole is a desirable feature. In
the application of my invention, I produce two segments of a circle or ring from
sheet steel, or other suitable metal of any required conformation, with flat ears
or projections turned up at either end of same; I insert a wooden or other suitable
roller between the top cars of the segments, & bring the bottom ears together with
an ordinary eylet passed through two suitable holes in the ears & secured in the
ordinary manner.

ring constructed in accordance with my invention.
I form my improved ring from two metallic circular segments as A A¹ of any
suitable section, turning up the ends to form ears or projections. Such ears or
projections on the lower side or end are butted together and secured in such a
position in the usual manner by an ordinary eyelet B.
The cars or projections at the upper side or end of the ring are sufficiently far

concave surface for running upon the convex surface of the cornice pole. The
roller C is mounted upon a small pin or rivet in attachment with the upper ears
or projections of the ring segments A A'.
My roller cornice pole rings such as hereinbefore described can be very readily
drawn along the pole or rod on which they are mounted, and in the case of bamboo
poles, especially, the jerking and pulling required with the ordinary rings,
through the knots in the said poles, is completely avoided, and an easy rolling
motion is obtained.
