page_text: employed with my meter and its motion is limited by the annular segments L
formed on the back of the casing. The frictional connection between the lever and
the centre wheel permits the spring in the lever chain to be dispensed with.
The frictional contact between the discs is adjusted so that in the event of a pull
or considerable pressure being applied to the lever, they will slip freely, but so that
for a gentle pressure or pull, they will move together. The lever being counter-
weighted as described in my former Specification, when the opposite end is lifted
by the stoker, the counterweighted end drops and the lever disc slips over the
wheel disc. As soon as the lever is released, the weight of the louvres or damper.
which is greater than that of the counterweight, acting on the lever, puts the
clock work in motion and the closing of the louvres or damper is thereby
regulated.
The ratchet wheel is secured to its arbor by the taper pin N passing through the
boss of the wheel and the arbor.
Instead of the escapement formerly used, I employ the anchor escapement M.
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. In a meter for regulating the supply of air to furnaces, constructing and
arranging the clock-work (including the centre wheel) in a framing separate from
the casing in which the framing is secured by screws; substantially as hereinbefore
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. In a meter for regulating the supply of air to furnaces, the combination of
a disc on the centre wheel arbor with an adjustable disc on the lever, the two
discs working in frictional contact, and constructed arranged and operating sub-
stantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to improve the construction of combination lids or
doors and valves, for oil cans, lubricators, flasks, cans, or jars, water, ink,
dropping, and inhaling bottles, and the like. The improvements which I have
introduced consist in making the valve adjustable-that is to say regulating the
opening through which the liquid flows-air and dust proof, easily opened and
shut; either to permit of obtaining access to the interior of the vessel or
otherwise.
The accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings, illustrates the method of
carrying out my invention.
Figures 1. 2. and 3. illustrate a section at A. A., an end view and a plan
respectively, of one modification of my invention; while Figures 4. 5. and 6.

An Improved Castor for Containing Condiments.
I JOSEPH OSTER of No. 17 Breitestrasse, Bonn, in the Kingdom of Prussia
and Empire of Germany, Judicial Assessor, 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
The present invention relates to a castor for containing condiments, in which the
condiment escapes in regulatable quantities from the closed container, by means of
recesses cut in a vertically moving rod or valve working in the container.
rod or valve is held in its normal position by a spring located in the interior of
che container, and closes the mouth of the same, so that the entrance of moisture
from the atmosphere, and consequent caking of the condiment in the container, is
entirely obviated.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 a horizontal section on or about the line x x of Fig. 1.
Figs. 3 and 4 shew different positions of the parts.
a is a container, conical at its lower end, and closed at top by a cap b. To the
underside of the cap is affixed a tube b¹, extending into the interior of the
container, and through this tube b¹ and the cap b passes a rod d. This rod is
provided at its upper end with a button d', and at its lower end is formed an
enlargement f, forming a valve to close the mouth of the container. The rod dis
provided inside the tube b' with a collar or washer d, against which bears a spiral
spring, enclosed in the tube b, and mounted on the rod d.
In its raised position, due to the action of the spring, the valve ƒ closes the
mouth of the vessel.
A short distance from its extremity, the valvef is formed with curved recesses f',
which, when the rod is pressed down by the button, permit the condiment in the
container to escape in greater or less quantities, as shown at Fig. 3.
If the rod is pressed down to its fullest extent, the recesses will have passed out
of the mouth, and the portion above the recesses will effectually close the mouth.
When the pressure is released, the rod will be caused to rise again by the action of
the spring, allowing a further escape of condiment if desired.
The valve and the container will be made of a material which is not affected
by contact with the condiment, such, for instance, as salt, which is known to have
deleterious effects on many metals.
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 :
The improved castor for containing condiments from which the condiment
escapes in regulated quantities through recesses f1 cut in a valve or rod working
vertically in the container, and closing the mouth of the same, as herein shown and
described.

JOHN POWELL COOK 1 St. Clements Street Offord Road, Barnsbury London, N.,
Refrigerator 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 pipe has the advantage to keep all juice or nicotine from passing into the
bcwl A. or mouth, by means of a brush made of wool and cotton twisted with silver
or tinned wire, which is kept in the bore of the pipe, which absorbs the juice whilst
a small groove C allows the smoke to pass over the top of the brush D and through
the small hole F into the stem.
The wool D being a non-conductor of heat cools the smoke.
The cotton E is more attractive than the wool D and holds the juice in the wool
and prevents it from being drawn through the small hole F when it is full up to
groove C.
The cotton E being pushed into the stem inch, forms a plug, and prevents any
juice or nicotine from entering the mouth.
The mode of cleaning the pipe is, the bush D is drawn out with the stem, the
brush filling the bore of the pipe draws all the juice or nicotine out with it right
from the bowl.
The wire B is pushed into the stem until wire G appears at the other end and is
drawn right through and cleans all juice and nicotine off at the end B.
This pipe can be cleaned thoroughly right throughout in 12 seconds, and no
other cleaning required at any time.
This pipe can be made in any material, or shape with push or screw mouth-piece,
cigar or cigarette tubes can be made in the same way.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare what I claim is, that:
(1) This pipe and brush can always be kept clean.
(2) No juice or nicotine enters the mouth of the smoker.
(3) This pipe smokes sweet and cool.

Moulding Apparatus for Filling with Molten Lead Incised Letters
or Ornamentation in Marble, Stone, or other Material.
SAMUEL CAMPION, of Brigg, in the County of Lincoln, Stonemason, 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 apparatus consists of a plate or plates B divided in the centre C provided
with receptacle D into which the molten lead is poured, the plate being held level
at G on the surface of the stone or other material over the letters or decoration it
is desired to fill with lead. The molten lead after passing through the plate from
receptacle D flows along groove E and into the spaces to be filled. The recess F
allows a sufficient portion of lead to project above the surface of the stone for
hammering down and compensating for contraction in cooling. The recess F is not
sufficiently deep to allow the molten lead to flow over the surface of the stone as
the latter being cold chills the lead which is retained in the letters or engraved
parts being filled. The apparatus is jointed at A so that the plates may open
and clear the runner D without disturbing the letters. The runner D is afterwards
nipped off with a pair of pincers and the work hammered down and finished off in
the usual way.
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. By means of my moulding apparatus incised letters or ornamentation may be
filled in with molten lead without risk of injury to the marble or stone in which
the letters &c. are cut.
2. The letters or ornamentation being run in, are solid, and of the most
substantial character possible.
3. A great saving in time over the old process of hammering in strips of cold
lead.

Improvements in Artificial Teeth.
I, THEODORE HENRY SCHMITZ, of 32nd and Spring Garden Streets, Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America, Superintendent of Dental
Factory, 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 a novel manner of forming a recess in an artificial
tooth, whereby it may receive the material of the dental plate, or a pin which is
imbedded in such material.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a core employed in forming a recess in
an artificial tooth embodying my invention.
Figure 2 represents a side elevation thereof.
Figure 3 represents a perspective view of an artificial tooth embodying my
invention.
Figure 4 represents a section thereof.
Figure 5 represents a side elevation of another form of core.
Figure 6 represents a vertical section, to which the core Figure 5 has been
applied.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
A designates an artificial tooth with a recess B and passages C leading therefrom
to the outside of the tooth, said recess and passages being adapted to be filled
with the material of the dental plate, it being noticed that said recess is wider
than the passages, so that said material is interlocked within the tooth.
If desired a pin may be inserted in the proper passage C, the same being
imbedded in the material of the dental plate while some of the material fills the
recess and
passages.
In order to form the recess and passages I employ a core piece D, the same
being of the shape of said parts, and primarily moulded in the tooth and formed of
material that will burn while the tooth is being baked, such as camphor, so as to be
destroyed, whereby the recess and passages are produced in the tooth, the same
being employed for the connection of the dental plate, as has been stated.
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 :-
First. An artificial tooth having therein a recess and a passage which leads
therefrom to the outside of the tooth, substantially as described.
Second. An artificial tooth having an interior recess and a passage leading
therefrom, which recess and passage are formed by a core piece which is primarily
moulded in the tooth and destroyed during the baking of the tooth, so that the
material of the dental-plate may fill said recess, substantially as described.

Improvements in Electric Accumulators.
1, HY HARRIS LART. of the firm of Heseltine. Lake & Co.. Patent
Agents, 45, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middle-ex, 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 electric accumulators.
An accumulator constructed according to the said invention has its two electrodes
formed of a mixture of lead oxide and small pieces of carbon. The two electrodes
are separated by porous partitions of any suitable form.
These porous partitions which may be either straight or curved, are made of any
desired solid or gelatinous material capable of resisting the action of sulphuric acid.
The electric current is collected on both sides of the partition by means of plates,
strips, bars, rods or other forms of conductors of lead immersed in the mixture of
lead oxide and pieces of carbon.
In the improved accumulator the straight or corrugated frame pierced with holes
or forming a trellis, which ordinarily serves to receive the active material is
entirely dispensed with. The addition of the pieces of carbon renders the
electrodes more porous, accelerates the formation of the same and increases the
capacity of the active material relatively to its weight.
For constructing an accumulator according to the said invention the carbon
(preferably coke or retort carbon) is reduced to small pieces and intimately mixed
with lead oxide. With this mixture are filled one or more porous vessels con-
taining each a plate or rod of lead. The porous vessel or vessels are introduced
into an exterior receptacle containing the same mixture, in which is also immersed
a plate or rod of lead. These conductors as well as those placed in the aforesaid
porous vessels must establish a perfect electric contact with the surrounding
material.
On the top of the mixture, both interiorly and exteriorily of the porous vessels,
is spread a thin layer of lead oxide, which may be renewed during the formation or
the discharge of the accumulator. The liquid used is as usual water accidulated
with sulphuric acid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :—
An electric accumulator, in which the two electrodes are made of a mixture of
lead oxide and small pieces of carbon, and are separated from each other by a
porous partition.
