Improvements in Blowing or Distributing Devices for Antiseptic,
Hygienic and other Powders.
I, ALEXANDER HOENIG, of 27-28, Stallschreiberstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, Technologist, 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 for its object a powder blower or distributor for introducing
powder into cavities of the body for antiseptic and hygienic purposes.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the whole device;
Figure 2, a detail view of the blower head; and
Figure 3, a separate view showing the tapering neck.
The device consists as usual of a compressible ball a, a blow pipe b with powder
scoop c and blower head d.
The blower head d, as shown more particularly in Figure 2, is screwed on the
blow pipe b at the point /. It is provided with a front discharge orifice and has a
mushroom shaped form so that it overlaps the lateral openings of the blast pipe b
and thus prevents the same from becoming stopped when the powder distributor is
inserted or withdrawn from a cavity of the body.
This
The neck e of the compressible ball a which serves as a means for producing
compressed air is intended to receive the powder scoop c of the blast pipe band is
formed with an inwardly tapering bore, as shown more particularly in Figure 3, that
is to say, its bore is of conical form in contrast to the ordinary cylindrical one.
allows of the powder scoop c being always easily inserted in the tubular neck e and
equally easily withdrawn therefrom whilst its fastening when in use is nevertheless
reliable.
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:-
1. A powder. blower characterised by the blower head being provided with a
mushroom shaped cover for its lateral openings, leaving free the central opening of
the blow pipe, in order to prevent any stopping up of the powder blower when
being inserted in or withdrawn from a cavity of the body, 'substantially as described.
2. In a powder blower, such as described forming the tubular neck of the pressure
ball, for receiving the powder scoop, with a conical inwardly tapering bore with the
object of obtaining a better and yet more easily released fastening for the blow pipe
and the powder scoop substantially as described.

I, ALEXANDER PRIOR, Commercial Traveller, of Verdon Hotel, Dublin, 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 improvements in connection with buttons and its
object is to provide a fastening for buttons which will obviate any danger of the
buttons coming off accidentally.
In carrying out my invention I propose to employ a disc or piece of elastic cloth,
the central portion of which is bulged up. To this elastic disc the button is
secured by a strong thread so that there will be no danger of its becoming
detached. The elastic disc or strip is then stitched to the garment a considerable
surface for stitching being thus provided. Owing to the elasticity of the arrange-
ment, it will yield when any sudden pull occurs, so that the button will not be
liable to be torn off.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows my improved button in section,
and Fig. 2 shows a modification.
Referring to Fig. 1 A is the disc of elastic material bulged at a so as to project
from the surface. To this bulged part the button B is attached by means of the
specially strong thread b. The buttons are prepared in this manner with the
attachments ready for stitching to the garment.
The arrangement is especially applicable for trouser buttons which are frequently
torn off owing to the strain put upon them.
As shown in Fig. 2 the strip A¹ is formed with the bulged out portion a¹ close
to the end, and the pieces stitched to the dress material at the lower end c¹. This
gives greater elasticity to the arrangement.
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
(1) An improved button provided with a disc of elastic material to which it is
stitched, the disc being then stitched to the garment, substantially as described.
(2) An improved fastening for buttons, consisting of a disc of elastic cloth,
bulged up at the centre to which the button is secured by strong thread, the disc
being then stitched to the garment substantially as described and shown in Fig. 1
of the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.
(3) An improved means for securing buttons, consisting of a strip of elastic
material bulged out at one end to which the button is strongly stitched, and

page_text: stitched at its other end to the dress substantially as described and shown in Fig. 2
of the accompanying drawings and for the purposes specified.

page_text: An Improvement in Self-lighting Gas Burners.
I, FRANK BARNES GRUNDY, of No. 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the
County of London, Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to gas burners so arranged that on turning on the
gas it becomes ignited by playing on platinum or other suitable material.
I provide a stop cock with passages so arranged that in one position it cuts
off the gas supply, in another position it allows gas to pass, not to the main
burner, but to a jet at the side of and somewhat below the main burner, above
which jet is situated the platinum or other material on which the jet plays. On
the jet becoming ignited the cock is turned farther so as to pass gas to the main
burner, and, on this being ignited, the cock is turned to such a position as to
maintain the main light but to extinguish the jet light, so that the platinum
or other igniting material is no longer subject to the action of gas.

An Improvement in Self-lighting Gas Burners.
I, FRANK BARNES GRUNDY, of No. 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the
County of London, Analytical Chemist, 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 gas burners so arranged that on turning on the
gas, it becomes ignited by playing on platinum or other suitable material. In
such cases it is desirable to provide means of first opening a by-pass for gas to
flow to the igniter and secondly of opening passage to the main burner, and
closing the by-pass.
For this purpose, I construct a stop-cock as I shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the cock, Figures 2, 3 and 4, are sections shewing
the plug in three positions.
A is the passage to the burner, B is a small tube leading to the igniter,
C is the plug having through it a direct passage D, and having in part of its
circumference a recess E. When the handle is in the position 2-2 of Figure 1,

page_text: the plug is as shewn in Fig. 2 closing the main passage and the by-pass. When
the handle is in the position 3-3 the plug is as shewn in Fig. 3, allowing gas
to flow to the by-pass but still closing the main passage to the burner. When
the handle is in the position 4-4, the plug is as shewn in Fig. 4 giving passage
to the burner but closing the by-pass.
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:-
-
For a self-lighting gas burner a stop-cock constructed and operating sub-
stantially as described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements relating to Lace Fastenings.
I, MAX SCHIEMANGK, Captain, of 18, Eichendorf Strasse, 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 following statement:-
My invention relates to lace fastenings applicable to boot uppers, corsets and
generally to divided parts, and has for its object to readily effect the fastening and

Fig. 7 is a section through y-y of Fig. 6.
The fabric g with plush stripes p (Figs. 1 and 2) is slit up along the dotted
lines ii into strips each of which is longitudinally doubled or folded over at the
plush part whereby the pile threads forming the plush are caused to stand out
radially from the edge and thus to form a kind of cording p¹ (Fig. 3) while the
plain margins m m form a means of attachment to the main web.
The plain margins are now inserted in the double edge d d of the webs (Fig. 4
and 5) and secured therein for example by a line of sewing (indicated by dotted
lines at n (Fig. 6).
In this manner a garment border or edging is cheaply produced which in strength
adaptability and appearance possesses advantages over the woven or braided articles
hitherto produced for this purpose.
"
The radially projecting pile threads are better suited for an edging than the
threads which are parallel or nearly parallel to the plane of the edge as in the
edgings of pile fabrics hitherto used. The pile threads of a plush "cording
produced in this manner are also more uniform and closer than in a chenille cording
besides being fast to the plain part of the fabric at all points instead of only being
secured thereto at intervals by separate threads as in the case of a chenille cording
which renders the latter liable to be torn away.
By the use of the web (which may be sufficiently wide to form a facing for the
garment) having a double edge dd the unravelling or loosening of plain margins of
the cut plush strips is prevented since the cut margins m m are protected by the
double edges d d. The latter lie close up to the pile threads and form a smooth
straight edge to the cording. In an edging produced as described the thickening
at the place where the parts are united is very slight so that it does not form a
bulky projecting border where it is attached to the garment.

page_text: In practice such an edging will be conveniently produced by means of a sewing
machine having a suitable guide in front of the needle foot or presser whereby the
plush strip will at the same time be folded and presented to the presser between
the double edge and sewn in the usual manner.
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.―
The combination of a web having a double woven edge with an inserted double
or folded strip having a plush centre and plain margins the whole constituting an
edging or border for garments substantially as set forth.

A Process for Manufacturing Incandescent Bodies.
1, MORITZ BERNSTEIN, of 38, Mauerstrasse, Berlin, Germany, 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:
The present process concerns the manufacturing of incandescent bodies which offer
the advantage of resisting better and of possessing a stronger lighting power than
those actually in use. The substance employed in the manufacture of these incan-
descent bodies is composed of vegetable fibres, of hair or asbestos, of calcined or non-
calcined clays or earths, especially fire-bricks, steatite, porcelain-clay, also artificial or
natural meerschaum or combinations of the said products which are impregnated in
one of the mixtures of the following products, in suitable proportions, which can be
employed in a liquid form of in the form of powder :
1) Indium, erbium.
2) Indium, erbium, aluminium.
3) Erbium, ytterbium.
Erbium, zirconium, calcium, zinc.
5) Zirconium, barium, erbium.
6) Erbium, aluminium.
7) Erbium, ytterbium, cerium.
8) Indium, erbium, magnesium.
9) Erbium, calcium, indium.
10) Erbium, cerium (or hydrargyrum). •
11) Erbium, decipium.
12) Erbium, thorium.
Each of the above-mentioned mixtures is specially claimed and contains erbium as
a principal element, the practical use of which, for the above purpose, has, hitherto,
had no result.
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 process for manufacturing incandescent bodies of vegetable fibres, hair or
asbestos, calcined or non-calcined clays or earths, especially fire-bricks, steatite,
porcelain-clay, and natural or artificial meerschaum or of combinations of the said
products, impregnated with a mixture in suitable proportions, of indium, erbium and
the like in a liquid or pulverized state, for lighting and heating with gas and liquid
combustibles and for other manufacturing purposes substantially as described.

LUTHER WILKINSON.
An Improved Funnel.
We, WILLIAM MORRIS, and LUTHER WILKINSON, Tinplate Workers, Market
Bridge Mills, Manchester Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following.
statement:
This invention has reference to that class of funnels, which are formed with a
deep cone or body, and with a cylindrical extension at the mouth to increase the
capacity for holding liquids without extending considerably the width of the
funnel. In this kind of funnel; the depth of the cone necessitates a seam being
made in it, and the cylindrical extension has hitherto been attached to the funnel
by solder, which necessarily entails certain amount of fitting and labour.
Our invention consists essentially in making this cylindrical extension all in
one piece with the cone of the funnel by striking or stamping them to shape by
suitably formed dies. At the same operation, the cylindrical extension is formed
with a flange struck at right angles, which is finally wired to constitute the rim.
We first take. a semi-circular blank of sheet metal, and block or form it on a
shaper, cone or funnel shaped. By means of a suitable die, we now block or stamp
the cone with a cylindrical formation at the mouth, and at the same operation form
it with a flange for wiring the rim.
Our invention will be fully understood by reference to the accompanying draw-

page_text: ings, in which Fig. 1 represents, on a reduced scale, the metal blank, and Fig. 2
its shape after being formed or blocked conical.
According to our invention, the conical blank is now stamped or blocked to the
shape represented in Fig. 3, the cylindrical extension A being thus made all in
one piece with the cone or body of the funnel B, the flange C, which constitutes
the rim, being at the same time struck up at right angles. The wire for the rim
in this view is shewn in section at D.
The seam in the funnel is now soldered, and as will be seen by reference to
Fig. 4, the flange C is lapped round the wire D to complete the rim.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
The manufacture and use of funnels, provided with some such extension as A,
blocked or stamped to shape all in one piece with the body or cone of the funnel B,
instead of making them in separate pieces, substantially described and as shewn
in the accompanying drawings.
