JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN 2 Endell Street London W.C. Ladder Maker do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In telescopic trestle ladders hitherto manufactured there has been a want of
means to lock the sliding section against moving upward when a person is ascending
and I have invented an appliance to effect this-namely a fingered bracket which
can be moved on top of the rung of the sliding ladder in such a way as to prevent
that section rising while the bracket is engaged upon the rung. In cases where
the rung of the sliding section may not come into suitable position a block or other
projection can be affixed to the side of the ladder for the fingered bracket to take
over. The bracket is attached to the lower section of the ladder and when it
would be above the reach of a person standing upon the ground the bracket can be
turned in and out of work by means of a rod attached to the bracket or a lever
and cord or other devices.

JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN 2 Endell Street London W.C. Ladder 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:-
To prevent the sliding section of a telescopic trestle ladder moving upward I so
place a bracket, finger or bolt as to be moved above a rung or other projection upon
the sliding section in manner that it will secure the sliding section against rising
when a person is using the trestles. In accompanying drawing Figures 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 & 6 shew various methods, A being the sliding section, B the rung of that
section, C the lower section with D its rung and E the invention for locking the
rung B against rising.
In Figure 1 I shew attached to "D," a rod having two projecting pieces E.
The rod is free to be twisted so as to engage or disengage the projecting pieces
with the rung B.
In Figure 2 attached to D I shew a forked bracket E which can be turned
to and fro so as to engage or disengage the rung B.
In Figure 3 I shew a hinged bracket E attached to C so that it can turn over
or away from the rung B.
In Figure 4 I shew a bolt attached to C so that it can be turned and pushed
over rung B or drawn therefrom.
In Figure 5 I shew attached to D, a forked rod E which can be turned over or
from rung B and a resistance bracket is fixed on C to keep the fork from
rising.

page_text: In Figure I shew attached at back of D a double forked rod having one fork
projecting over the rung B and the other fork projecting under the rung D, to
hold it from rising when engaged over B. This rod can be twisted round out of
the way of rung B.
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 application to telescopic trestle ladders of means by which the sliding
.section may be secured against rising when in use.

Utilizing the Drainage and Bilge Water Collecting in the Bilge
and Limbers of Ships Used for the Transportation of Nitrate
of Soda.
1, HENRY JAMES DARTNELL, of 105 Ham Park Road, Romford Road,
Forest Gate, in the County of Essex Merchant and General Refiner, 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:-
Hitherto the drainage and bilge water collecting in the bilges and limbers of
ships used for the transportation of nitrate of soda has generally been considered
useless and has consequently been pumped out and allowed to run to waste.
Now the object of my invention is to extract from such drainage and bilge water
the nitrate of soda contained in it.
For this purpose I collect the drainage and bilge water in a suitable receptacle
or receptacles and partly evaporate it by the aid of steam, fire or other suitable
means so that the density of the remaining liquid is increased to such a point that
when allowed to cool part of the nitrate of soda will be deposited on the bottom
and sides of the receptacle or receptacles.
The liquid is then allowed to cool and after part of the nitrate of soda has been
deposited on the inner surface of the receptacle or receptacles is run off into
another receptacle in which it is again partly evaporated to increase its density and
again allowed to cool and settle. This process of manipulation being repeated until
practically all the nitrate of soda has been obtained from the liquid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
Collecting and treating the drainage and bilge water collecting in the bilges and
limbers of ships used for the transportation of nitrate of soda as and for the purpose
described.

the weighing or measuring of it in use be dispensed with, as the weight or quantity
of starch in each cake is known.
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 :-

A Composition for Impregnation of Leather to Render it More
Durable and Firm.
1, CHRISTIAN ALBERT JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane, London, Chartored
Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invontion a communication
to me from abroad by Johan Ulrik Backe of Skien, Norway, Manufacturer, 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 a composition of matters which is suitable for
impregnation of leather for the purpose of rendering it firmer and more durable
against wear. This composition is of special importance for the impregnation of
sole leather; soles treated therewith are rendered not only much more durable but
also much warmer and quite watertight.
The mixture consists mainly of resin and tallow or similar fatty matter, thinned
down by a small addition of a solvent for both, such for instance as turpentine.
The proportion of resin and tallow is chosen so as to get as much resin as possible
without depriving the mixture of its plasticity while cold; a proportion of from
like weights of resin and tallow to double the quantity of resin to that of tallow
angwers the purpose.
An excellent inpregnant consists of 3 kilos. of resin 2 kilos. of tallow and about
75 grams of turpentine (say 3 pounds of resin, 2 pounds of tallow and 13 oz. of
turpentine). It is all melted together and brushed over the leather in a molten
state. If soles are to be impregnated they must be quite dry and must first be
warmed a little before the fire. A proof that the leather is warm enough is that
the composition penetrates it when brushed over therewith; if it does not the shoes
have to be held before the fire till the soles feel quito dry. They should be brushed
over two or three times but not too thickly. If at the third brushing a yellow
liquid should exude from the leather the latter should not be held to the fire any
longer but be put in a less warm place so that it may dry slowly.
Soles thus treated will last very much longer than ordinary soles.
The composition for impregnation has a dough like consistence and becomes quite
thin liquid when heated, so that it easily enters the pores of the leather greatly
owing to the addition of the turpentine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion aud in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what 1
claim is :-
A composition for impregnation of leather consisting of 1 to 2 parts of resin and
1 part of fat melted together with a little turpentine or other suitable solvent
substantially as set forth.

I, JULIUS WEISS, Merchant and Insurance Inspector, of 36 Körner Strasse,.
Leipsic, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and.
by the following statement :-
The present invention consists of a method of making placards having easily
changeable inscriptions, according to which a plate of suitable material is provided
with series of perforations or slits advantageously arranged in lines, whilst a
number of letters forming the inscription are provided with rearwardly extending
lugs or ears, adapted to pass into the slits or perforations of the plate or table and.
be turned down at the rear of the same.
And in order to render the present Specification more easily intelligible-
reference is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters denote
similar parts throughout the several views :-
Fig. 1 being a front elevation of one of the letters employed.
Fig. 2 a side elevation of Fig. 1 with the lugs e turned down.
Fig. 3 a front elevation of the plate or table with the latter attached thereto.
The plate a is provided with a number of slits or perforations & advantageously
arranged in lines and into which the lugs or ears of the letters are adapted to
engage, said lugs being turned down at the rear of the plate or table, as shown in
dotted lines at Figure 8.
The letters may be of varying sizes but should advantageously vary in degrees.
corresponding to the distance apart of the lines or perforations of the plate or
table.
If the top and bottom lugs c c are not sufficient to attach the letters safely a
central lug o may be employed.
The letters muy be of any suitable material form or colour, they may be advan-
tageously formed of nickel plated thin zinc plates, sheet brass or aluminium and
may be pressed or cut out. The plate a may be of any suitable material. This
plate may also be provided with such slits or perforations as are necessary for
certain particular inscriptions, instead of series of such perforations.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
A method of making placards having inscriptions capable of variation, which
consists in providing a table or plate with a number of slits or perforations and
attaching thereto by means of lugs or ears formed on them, the required letters,.
said lugs or ears being insorted in the slits and bent round, substantially as
described and shown.

of Lancaster, and Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to tin boxes, cans and the like and has for its object to
provide means for hermetically sealing such boxes in such a manner that the boxes
can be very readily opened and at the same time the box or the lid thereof is not
injured and so rendered useless.
This box has two advantages, first it can be employed for edible preserves, which
are enclosed in tin boxes exhausted of air and hermetically sealed for export;
second, when empty of its contents it can be used in the ordinary manner either
as a box or as a lid being able to be taken off and applied to the latter.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 shews a cylindrical tin box sealed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 shews the box partly open,
Fig. 3 shews the box with the lid detached.
The lid of the box is formed of a plate having secured to it a strip D BY X
which slides on to the box. The said strip is partly cut through round the
line AC and the lower half that is to say the portion below the line A C ends
at the point a, b with a tongue with which a little key can engage which effects
the opening. The box is closed along the liue B D by tin solder. The key is
introduced into the tongue as shown in Figure 2 and rotated from left to right
and round the box, thereby detaching from the lid the little strip in the lower and
upper parts along the line A C formed by the partial cut leaving the lid uninjured
with the remaining portion of the strip A CX Y as shown in Figure 3.
system is applicable not only to cylindrical boxes but also to tin boxes of any form
and size.

COMIDELE A Combined Pen or Pencil Box and T-square.

COMIDELE
A Combined Pen or Pencil Box and T-square.
I, LITA, BARONESS PUTLITZ, of Retzin, Priegnitz, in the 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 a school pen or pencil box with an accessory, whereby
it may at the same time be used as a T-square, so that schoolchildren, who have
always enough to carry with them in the way of books and the like, are relieved
from the inconvenience of carrying a separate T-square, whilst the T-square itself
is subjected to no risk of injury during such carriage.
In the accompanying drawing, in which I have shown a pen or pencil box of
this kind,
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are different views showing the pen or pencil box having an
enclosed T-square blade.
Figure 4 shows the device ready for use as a T-square,
Figure 5 is a section on the line x, x, Figure 4.
e¹
The pen or pencil box a, which can be closed by means of the usual sliding-lid b,
provided at the same time with a measure, can be made in the well-known shape of
school pen or pencil boxes, but must also be provided with a double bottom e,
for receiving the rule or blade c of the T-square, which is capable of being folded
together by means of one or more hinges d. The space between the two bottom-
pieces of the box is so proportioned that the rule or blade c of the T-square can be
placed therein in a folded condition, for which reason it will be understood that the
said blade or rule, after being folded together, should not be longer than the pen
or pencil box a.
When it is desired to convert a pen or pencil box of this kind into a T-square,
the folded blade or rule c is drawn out of the case, and, after being unfolded, is
inserted into flat slots f formed in the side walls of the case a, the T-square is then
ready for use.
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 :-
A pen or pencil box which can also be used as a T-square, the said box being
provided for this purpose with a rule or blade which may be inserted into slots in
the side walls of the said box, and, when not required for use, can be folded together
5 by means of one or more hinges and placed in a space provided between two bottom-
pieces of the said box, substantially as, and for the purposes, herein before described.

I, CARL FRIEDRICH LÜCKE, Bookseller, of Johannisgasse, Leipzig, in the
Kingdom of Saxony, 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 many of the postage stamp albums hitherto made, the pages are divided into
squares on which are printed images of the various stamps, and each stamp is
pasted over its image.
This invention has for its object, to avoid the necessity of covering the image or
direction for arranging the stamps, and it consists in leaving the squares or panels
free, while the directions, explanations or images are printed separately on the
margin or on a strip or strips, preferably arranged on the same page.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 shows a page of an album embodying my invention, the directions or
explanation being printed on a vertical strip along the right hand edge.
Fig. 2 shows a page with the explanatory strip along the left hand edge.
Fig. 3 a page with the said strip arranged vertically in the centre of the page.
In Fig. 4, 5 and 6 the explanatory strip is arranged horizontally in the middle,
or at the top or at the bottom of the page.
A. indicates the squares or panels for the stamps to be pasted on the page. At
the sides, between, above, or below the said squares, or in any other convenient
position, there is a strip B containing images of postage stamps on a small scale,
together with explanations about stamps having a similar appearance, so that the
stamp collector sees at a glance what stamps or sets of stamps have been issued,
without being obliged to arrange the stamps in any prescribed order.
Instead of printing the images and explanation ou the same page which contains
the squares, they may be contained on narrow strips of paper adapted to be pasted
on the said page, or to be stitched or loosely inserted between the leaves of the
album.
The space C for the title or heading may also be occupied by the strip B.
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 :-
A postage stamp album having sheets provided with free squares or divisions A
for fixing the stamps, and diminutive representations or descriptive notes arranged
on the margin or on strips B left open for the purpose, or on strips or sheets fixed
to the said stamp sheets or between the same, substantially as described and for
the purpose specified.
