I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E. 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 the invention is to provide a device by which the sashes in a common
solid window frame may be as effectually balanced as though contained in a box
frame, and without the necessity of cutting away any material portion of the window
sashes; and it consists essentially in providing two pulley brackets which are inserted
in recesses made in the top sill of the window frame in such a position that the rope
which is passed over each of the pulleys may be connected at its ends to the upper
and lower sashes so that the one shall balance the other substantially in the manner
hereinafter more particularly explained.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window having its sashes balanced according
to this invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 are cross sections of same.
I am aware that window sashes have been arranged prior to this invention so as
to balance each other, but in all balances with which am familiar they can only
either be applied to box frames or owing to the manner in which they are applied it
is necessary to cut away a portion of each sash.
In the drawing A represents two pulley brackets which are inserted as shown into
recesses made in the top sill B.
A rope C passes over each pulley and its ends are connected to the upper and
lower sashes D and E respectively.

page_text: From this description it will be seen that this device may be very readily and
cheaply applied and that it is only necessary to cut recesses in the top sill B in
order to receive the pulley brackets A and that owing to the simple manner in which
they are thus applied, any handy man can apply them to a window very easily and
quickly.
With the view of enabling the upper or lower sash to be operated independent of
the other the end of each rope C is connected to the lower sash E by means of a
dog F which fits through a slot made in the sash E and engages with the notched
plate G secured to the outside of the said sash. The dog F is provided with a ring H
so that it may be readily adjusted into any of the notches formed in the plate G.
In this way either sash may be worked independent of the other, while at the
same time they balance each other when the dog F fits into one of the notches in the
plate G.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the same is
to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The pulley brackets A inserted into recesses made in the top sill B and designed
to support the ropes C in combination with the said ropes C one of which is
respectively connected at one end to the sash D and at the other end to the sash E
by means of the dog F and notched plate G substantially as and for the purpose
specified.

I, STEFAN ROZINAY of Budapest, in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, 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 consists in improvements in the method of feeding air to the flame of
lamps burning paraffin or other liquid or gaseous fuel with a circular or equivalent
wick or burner.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a lamp
fitted with the improved air feed, Fig. 2 being a horizontal section of the chimney (on
liney, Fig. 1) and Fig. 3 a plan view of the central air duct and distributor.
The improvement consists in the means by which air may be partially heated and
fed to the space within the circle of the wick or wicks in addition to such air as enters
the lamp in the usual manner at the base of the burner.
a is the distributor, the shape of which is shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and which may
be supported on the interior sheathing of the wick. Above the distributor a rests the
vertical cylinder preferably of glass and forming the air duct.-Over this cylinder is
the chimney d (Fig. 2) communicating with the space c in which is the flame e and
having two or more cross flues or pipes as shown in Fig. 2 by means of which the
cylinder bis in communication with the outer air.-When the lamp is to be used, the
distributor a and tube bare placed in position and the wick is lighted; the outer
glass chimney or shade is then placed over the flame, and the chimney d is placed over
all. The chimney d is preferably of brass or other metal and may be supported by
the wires which not only to a certain extent protect the glass shade but also support
the chimney d in the event of breakage of the former. The chimney d, duct and
distributor a may he formed of metal together in one piece, in which case the
distributor need not be supported by the interior wick sheathing since it is
suspended from above by the duct and chimney d with which it is connected.

page_text: By the above described arrangement, considerably more air, than was hitherto
possible, can be fed in a parily heated state to the inner surface of the flame e
(Fig. 1), whereby the fuel is more completely consumed and the flame has greater
brilliancy, finer shape and larger distribution.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what I claim is :
In lamps having a circular flame or circularly arranged flames, the apparatus for
conducting air to the centre of the flame consisting of the distributor a air duct and
chimney substantially as set forth.

Foreman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A PUBLIC SEPULCHRE 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 for its object an improved method of depositing the dead in and
near Cities and Towns, by which a great number may be deposited upon a small space
of ground and being hermeticaly sealed by covering with concrete is a perfect
sanitary mode of depositing the dead and a great improvement to the present method
of interment in the earth, and by which the necessity of disturbing the remains and
desecration of burial places may be removed, and also to relieve the present religious
difficulty in the interment of the dead as it will enable any sect to have their own
sepulchre at a reasonable cost.
My method is to inclose a portion of land for a common sepulchre upon which the
coffins are deposited in layers from twelve feet beneath the ground line, to any height
above the ground line, each layer to be covered with concrete, the place of common
sepulchre is inclosed by a circular wall which is hollow having within itself a spiral
road for the convenience of carrying up the coffins as the sepulchre is filled, and it
will also contain passages for private graves and for the preservation of tablets and
other mementos of those interred therein. There will also be a spiral staircase in
front for the means of passing from one to another of the passages.

Improved Means of Holding Chalk for Application to Billiard and
Bagatelle Cues.
I, HAROLD BONSER, of 24, King Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire,
Mining 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 :-
This invention consists in improved means of holding chalk, for application to the
tips of billiard and bagatelle cues, on the walls of the billiard room or in any other
convenient position so that the cues may be readily applied thereto, which entirely
obviates the chance of the chalk being lost or of its soiling the hands when in use.
I will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings
in which Fig. 1 represents in sectional and front elevation a holder constructed
according to my invention and fixed for instance to a wall; Fig. 2 shews a modified
form of the holder represented by Fig. 1, and Figs. 3 and 4 represent parts of the
holder represented by Fig. 2 separately.
Referring firstly to Fig. 1, a is a disc or boss of wood, metal, earthenware or other
suitable material which can be fixed in position on the wall by a central screw ε.
The dise or boss a has in front a central hole 6 of such a size that the chalk e will fit
tightly into it. When in use the tip of the cue is applied to the chalk c which by
means of the boss or disc is always retained in position ready for use.
In the modification illustrated by Figs. 2, 3 and 4 the boss or disc a has a moveable
front piece a¹ which is attached thereto by screwing or other suitable means so as to
be readily removed when required. The said front piece a¹ has a taper hole & the

page_text: larger end of which is inwards and into which the chalk c, which is made correspondingly
taper, fits and by which it is securely held. In order to remove or replace the chalk
the front piece a' is first removed from the boss or disc a.
It will be evident that the shape of the holder and the means of securing it in
position and of securing the chalk thereto may be varied without departing from the
nature of my invention.
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:
A chalk holder for billiard and bagatelle cues, constructed and used substantially a
set forth and illustrated.

We JOHN SMITH of 84 Tamworth Road Newcastle-upon-Tyne Engineer and
ALFRED ENLEY of 44 Westgate Road Newcastle-upon-Tyne Ironmonger 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 improvements in the burners of regenerative gas lighting
apparatus.
Our improved burner may be used with any form of regenerator and is thus
described A being the gas inlet pipe which may be brought through the regenerator or
otherwise as convenient B a series of holes in the end as shown to admit the gas into
the lower chamber of the burner which being kept cool by the incoming air
HF prevents the gas from carbonizing and stopping the passages for same.
The gas
is next filtered and regulated by passing through a finely perforated plate or non-
combustible gauze C and is ignited at the slit or groove D where it meets the heated
air E from the regenerator and the cool air F regulated in this case by our improved
form which may be described as telescopic tubes G the outer being perforated at H
the inner one sliding up or down this perforated tube opens or closes these apertures
a screw I working in a slot in the outer tube by being tightened fixes the regulator
when adjustment is completed likewise prevents the inner tube from falling out should
it become loose. The air being duly regulated is in its course to the burner filtered by
passing through a finely perforated plate or non-combustible gauze J. A recessed
washer and screw bearing a packing ring of asbestos or other suitable material K keeps
the glass L in its place.
An important feature in groove D is the bevilling or rounding of the inner edge of
the lower or upper half of the burner as shown at M.
These burners may be made in brass or any other suitable metal or non-combustible
material.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention

I, ISAAC BLUE HARRIS, Superintendent of the North British Rubber Company's
Works, Castle Mills in the City of Edinburgh, 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 an improvement in the finishing of the outside surface of
rubber and other flexible hose or tubing in order mainly to preserve the same from
abrasion or injury. To that end I cover the hose or tubing with a closely spun coil of
wire which I imbed in a layer of rubber or similar gum placed on the outside of the
hose or tubing, the coiled wire being by this means permanently kept in position and
rendered more efficient than when as heretofore simply coiled or placed on the hard
and dry surface of the hose in such a manner that the coils are free to open up and by
their movement abrade the surface of the hose.
In finishing rubber or other flexible hose or tubing under my invention I prefer to
coat the surface of the hose with a layer of unvulcanized rubber, then spin or coil the
wire thereon while the rubber is soft and yielding, and subsequently subject the
rubber coating to the process of vulcanization a firm hold of the rubber upon the wire
to prevent its displacement being by this means ensured; whilst ordinary flexible hose"
may thus be sufficiently stiffened and made to serve as suction hose without having
placed within it the usual wire coil employed for distending suction hose. The layer
or coating which serves as the bed for the wire may be formed of any suitable gum
other than rubber and subsequent vulcanization may be dispensed with; or the coil of
wire may be imbedded in the surface of tubing composed of rubber, prior to
vulcanization of the tubing.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate my invention, figure 1 is a
longitudinal section figure 2 an elevation and figure 3 a cross section of a piece of hose
or tubing as finished in the manner above described. A, is the hose or tube as
formed in the ordinary way, B, is the coating of rubber or other gum applied to its
surface and Cis the protecting coil of wire imbedded therein. The wire is shown as
of round section but any other section of wire may be employed, and the ends of the
wire coils may as shown be covered over with rubber cloth or the like.

page_text: 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 :-
-
That improvement in the finishing of flexible hose or tubing which consists in
imbedding a protective coil of wire in rubber or other gum applied on or constituting
the outside surface of the hose or tubing, substantially as and for the purposes set
forth.

I PIERRE GROSFILS of Verviers, Belgium do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel composition for preserving organic substances and
method of using the same, and has for its object to provide an inexpensive composition
of high antiseptic and preservative qualities which can easily be applied to organic
substances such as butter and the like, which shall render such substances imputrescible,
and shall be readily separable therefrom without the possibility of injuring them in
any way.
The composition consists of the combination in certain proportion of Lactic and
Salicilic acids and water, either pure or further combined with certain other fluids or
substances such as sugars, alcohol, gelatine, glycerine, gum etc. in proportion varying
according to the nature of the substance to be preserved.
I find that by the said combination much greater preservative qualities are obtained
than by using the constituents separately.
The composition may be applied to the organic substances either by external wetting
or by admixture or by immersing them therein during the period of preservation.
The composition may be conveniently kept in a concentrated form as a liquid con-
taining the same antiseptic and other constituents in suitable proportions to which the
dissolving water may be added at the time of application.
When required for use it is only necessary to thoroughly wash with pure water and
no traces of the composition are left and the substance is left in as fresh a state as
when first treated.

suffices to seperate completely the matters forming the composition of La Lactacidine
to wash carefully the substance with pure water. The organic substance thus
freed will be as pure & as fresh as at the moment of its being mixed with
Lacatacidine.
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
A new product & process the intentional association of lactic acid with salycilique
acid in pure water or with the addition of any substance whatever with the object of
obtaining an antiseptic liquid which I add or mix with an organic substance with the
object of rendering it imputrescent & which at any time can be completely seperated
from the organic substance.

and having at its upper end a square head or other means for operating it By turning
this spindle, the distance between the two extensions is increased or diminished and
the distance of the jaws correspondingly diminished or increased. One or each of the
arms is pivoted on a pin or bolt passing through one of series of slots in the handle
bar. The jaws are recessed with an angled groove on their inner faces for grasping
the wheel cap.
