Tobacco pipe 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 object of my invention is so to manufacture a tobacco pipe that the nicotine
cannot be drawn into the mouth and that the saliva or moisture from the month is
arrested and prevented from pressing into the bowl of the pipe, and at the same time
provision is made for readily cleaning out the pipe stem and removing both the saliva
and the nicotine, by which means the pipe is kept cool and sweet, the smoke is
purified and all injurious or unpleasant effects of smoking the same are reduced to a
minimum.
The nature of my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to
the annexed sheet of drawings and the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1 on the drawing is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 an exterior elevation of
a tobacco pipe manufactured according to my invention; a is the bowl, b part of the
stem and c the mouth piece.
I enlarge the bore of the stem b as shown at d so as to make a chamber or reservoir
to arrest and contain the nicotine and prevent it from being drawn into the mouth
and into the end of the stem 6 I screw a bush e the ends of which are reduced in
diameter, and this bush e is furnished at or near its centre with a projecting flange e¹
the exterior of which is milled to afford a better grip for screwing and unscrewing the
same.
The detachable part b¹ of the stem is made in the form of a tube bored out to fit
tightly onto the ends of the bush e and mouth piece c so as to connect them together
and to form a chamber or reservoir to collect and retain any saliva or moisture from
the mouth.
The ends of the tube b¹ may he screwed if desired but I prefer to make them a

County of York, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to he particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to construct a guard or protector for the first finger
of the hand, protecting it thereby from being pricked by the needle during the
operation of sewing, thus preventing not only pain to the sewer, but also the unsightly
appearance of the finger.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan shewing
finger guard on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 shews its application to the finger.
For the above purpose I employ a Hat split ring A of metal, capable of accom-
modating itself to various sizes of fingers. On the surface thereof are provided
grooves B running parallel with each other round the periphery thereof, these grooves
serve as guides for the needle, at the same time causing no obstruction thereto during
the sewing operation.
By the employment of the above described finger guard or protector, the operation
of sewing is made easy and much more agreeable to the sewer.
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:

Improvements in Mining or Blasting Cartridges and in Shells or
Explosive Projectiles.
I, PAUL GIFFARD of 1 Boulevard St. Denis, Paris, France, 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 has reference to mining or blasting cartridges and to shells or
explosive projectiles and it consists essentially in charging them with a liquefied gas,
liquefied carbonic acid gas being preferred not only on account of its cheapness and
harmlessness, but also because of the enormous dynamic power which it develops
when it dilates.
When a cartridge or a shell or projectile filled or charged with liquefied gas is
burst or exploded the effects due to or caused by the dilatation of the gas are exceed-
ingly powerful and formidable.
For the purpose of bursting or exploding the cartridge or the shell or projectile
charged with liquefied gas I place therein a charge of gunpowder or other explosive,
this charge being enclosed in a metallic case and immersed in the liquefied gas, a
suitable fulminate or priming being provided to produce the ignition of the explosive
and consequently the dilatation of the liquefied gas.
Or in the case of cartridges the bursting can be produced in the blast or
tamp hole by electricity with the aid of a long wire extending into the liquid gas.
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 mining or blasting cartridge charged with liquefied gas and provided with
means for bursting or exploding the cartridge as set forth.
2. A shell or explosive projectile charged with liquefied gas and provided with
means for bursting or exploding the shell or projectile as set forth.
3. A mining or blasting cartridge charged with liquefied gas and containing a
charge of gunpowder or other explosive and a fulminate or priming as and for the
purpose set forth.
4. A shell or explosive projectile charged with liquefied gas and containing a
charge of gunpowder or other explosive and a fulminate or priming as and for the
purpose set forth.
5. A mining or blasting cartridge charged with liquefied gas and provided with
a wire whereby the bursting of the cartridge can be effected by means of electricity
as set forth.

Improvements in the Construction of Pipes or Tubes for Smoking.
I, HERMANN HINRICHS of 121 Queen Victoria Street in the City of London,
merchant 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 is applicable to pipes which have a detachable cup or reservoir at the
end of the stem farthest from the mouthpiece and in which the bowl is situate between
the extremities of the stem and it is especially applicable to those pipes having an
inclined or partly curved stem.
་
The object of my invention is to ensure that the smoke shall pass through or over
the cup or reservoir, whereby the deleterious products which are evolved in the
course of smoking and such saliva as passes into the stem are more readily collected
and kept in the cup or reservoir, and so prevented from passing into the mouth of the
smoker.
I bore the stem of the pipe from end to end on the side of its centre opposite to
that on which the bowl is, so as to make a direct communication between the bore of
the mouthpiece, which is attached at one end of the stem, and the cup or reservoir,
which is to be connected to the stem at the other end. From the end of the stem to
which the cup or reservoir is to be attached and on the side of the centre of the stem
nearest the bowl I make a boring to the bottom of the bowl; taking care to leave a
solid part of the stem between the first above specified bore and that last mentioned.
When the cup or reservoir is in its place all smoke must be drawn from the bowl
through the second specified boring into the cup or reservoir before it can pass
up the bore in the stem which conveys it through the mouthpiece to the smoker's
mouth.
My invention is also available for tubes for cigar or cigarette-smoking in which the
holder or bowl for the cigar or cigarette is between the extremities of the stem, and
a detachable cup or reservoir is connected to the stem at the end farthest from the
mouthpiece.
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 construction of tobacco pipes or cigar or cigarette tubes with a bore connecting
the mouthpiece through the stem with a detachable cup or reservoir and another bore
connecting the bowl (placed between the extremities of the stem) with the said
detachable cup or reservoir in manner substantially as above described.

My Invention has for its object the production from the bones of vertebrate
animals, principally those of the vertebrae of the horse, of various articles for domestic
use or ornament, such for instance as vases or stands for matches, spills, pins,
flowers or other objects.
The bones to be used in the manufacture of such articles are selected from
amongst those which owing to their natural adaptability to such purposes readily
lend themselves to the shape of the object to be made, such for instance as the
subject shewn in the annexed drawings, which represents a clergyman preaching
and also forms a match-box. I may however when necessary more or less shape
the said bones in order to perfect the form of the article, and afterwards paint them
in natural colors and varnish them.
In carrying out my invention, I first thoroughly cleanse the bones of all extraneous
matter and afterwards bleach them.
And in order that my Invention may be more fully understood I proceed to
describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by
way of example, one of many articles, viz., a match stand as above stated which may
be produced when carrying my invention into practice.
Figure 1 is a front view of the stand, Figure 2 a back view and Figure 3 a vertical
transverse section thereof.
A is a receptacle for matches, which receptacle or hollow is formed by the natural
construction of the bone. A plug B placed in this hollow determines the depth
of the said receptacle.
Having thus 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 production of match boxes or receptacles and like articles of domestic use or
ornament, from the vertebrate bones of horses and other animals, in the manner
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 a plan of such wheel.
A is the hub or nave, B the rim or felloe, C are the spokes which I coil or form
with a convolution D at about the middle of their length, the said convolutions serving
to give the spokes the elasticity which is the object of my invention.
I do not confine myself to the details hereinbefore specified but reserve to myself
the right to vary the same without departing from the principle of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

Improvements in the Manufacture of Transparent Relief Pictures.
I, WOLFF HAGELBERG, of 19/21 Marienstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and the manner in
which the same is to be performed to be as follows:-
The subject of my invention is a method or process of manufacture for pro-
ducing pictures by printing in colours and embossing which differ from those
hitherto produced by these means as follows:-
:-
If the back of a picture produced by my method does not receive any direct light
while the picture is lying or being suspended, the object represented thereby is
shown in relief only, no colours, shading or delineating lines being visible, the
picture having the appearance of a cameo. If, however the back of the picture is
exposed to the light, whether sunlight or from any artificial or other source, say by
manipulating the picture with the hand, the picture appears in colours which are
the more vivid the nearer the angle at which the rays of light fall on the back of
the picture is to 90 degrees.
My method or process to produce such pictures is as follows:-
I use paper, celluloid, gelatine, or other material, suitable for embossing and
transparent when in thin layers upon which I produce the picture.
The object to be shown by the picture is printed in colours on the back of the
material as the reverse or image of the picture which is to be represented to the eye.
The front of the sheet is then embossed by any suitable means, care being taken
that the embossed relief and the coloured negative cover each other accurately.
If the picture is to be surrounded by an opaque frame it is pasted on card-board,
leather or other non-transparent material of the configuration desired for the
frame.
Or, this frame may be produced by painting opaque colours on the back of the
picture to correspond to the desired configuration of the frame.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that I am
aware of the existence of transparent pictures and of non-transparent relief pictures
printed in colours on the front side of the sheet, but what I do claim is :-
The method of manufacture of transparent relief pictures on paper, celluloid,
gelatine or other suitable material in such a manner that the reverse or image of
picture to appear on the front side is printed in colours on the back of the material,
the picture being embossed on the front to correspond to its reverse or image on the
back.

Hill, and THOMAS ROWLING of Ferncliffe, all of Bingley, in the county of York,
Weaving Overlookers, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as
follows:
The object of our invention is by an improved form of bottom levers (chiefly
applicable to Kenyon's Patent undermotion,) to facilitate the removal and replacing of
such levers, and to prevent their breakage.
We construct the bottom levers with suitable slots for pivotting on the shaft, so that
any lever can be taken out and replaced without interfering with the rest of the levers.
We also provide a stud or stop which works within a recess so that such levers have
only a limited motion, and so, should the rod or wire connecting them to the healds
break they do not come in contact with the floor, and are not broken.

Improvements in and relating to Clay Mills.
Year: 1889

page_text: Date of Application, 17th Oct., 1889-Accepted, 23rd Nov., 1889
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Clay Mills.
We JAMES DUCKETT and ALFRED DUCKETT of Mitre Brick Works, Burnley, in
the County of Lancaster, Brick and Sanitary Pipe Manufacturers, 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 clay mills, in which clay is placed in a revolving pan
having a perforated or grated bottom, and provided with runners or rollers which
grind the clay. Two scrapers projecting as far as the rim of the pan are used as
usual, one continually spreading the clay over the grating or perforated bottom to
allow the fine clay to pass through, and the other collecting the coarser particles, and
so placed as to bring them again under the runners. Beneath the pan is a receiver
or bed-plate, which receives upon its surface the fine clay passing through the
perforations of the pan. To discharge the clay from the surface of the receiver or
bed-plate, it has been usual to fix a series of iron plates to the arms of the revolving
pan to serve as scrapers, and so arranged as to be adjustable to bring the plates as
near as possible to the surface of the receiver or bed-plate when such plates or
scrapers become worn. By this arrangement, through the ineffectual attempt of the
scrapers to clear the surface of the receiver or bed plate the damp clay becomes dry
and adhering to the surface of the receiver and accumulating obstructs the free
working of the machine, and engenders friction to such an extent as to require a
considerable excess of power to work the machine; in many cases endangering and
even breaking down the machine.
The object of this invention is to dispense with these objectional features by the
employment of one or more yielding or flexible scrapers or clearers in direct contact
with the surface of the receiver or bed plate in substitution of the rigid and unyielding
scrapers hitherto in use, but not in direct contact. The yielding or flexible medium
may consist of one or more horizontal strips of india-rubber, leather or other suitable
flexible or yielding substance, attached to the arms of the revolving pan with which
they revolve, thoroughly scraping or clearing the surface of the receiver or bed plate
with the least possible friction, and with no tendancy to break the machine. We
would observe that to ensure the efficient working of the flexible or yielding scrapers
we prefer to attach one to each arm of the pan.
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:-
In a clay mill having a perforated or grated pan, the employment of one or more
flexible or yielding scrapers or clearers for scraping or clearing the surface of the
receiver or bed plate, substantially as described.
