A Novel Transparent Protective Enamel or Varnish.
I, THOMAS GARTON, of 26 Clayhall Road, Old Ford, London E. 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
My Invention is devised with a view to the production of a transparent enamel,
which when applied to various metal surfaces shall prevent the latter from becoming
tarnished or otherwise affected by atmospheric influences.
The enamel according to my Invention is produced by the incorporation or assimila-
tion of the following ingredients in or about the proportionate parts hereunder stated.
That is to say-
::
I take 10 paris transparent "grains" mastic (Pistacia Lentiscus), 7 parts camphor.
16 parts sandarach, 5 parts genuine" or true Elemi (as distinguished from what
is known as "Factitious Eleini") also Canada Balsam and spirits of Turpentine in
equal parts.
I dissolve the whole of the above in a sufficient quantity of Alcohol previously heated
to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The resultant solution having been thoroughly agitated is
then allowed to settle, and after being strained or filtered must be kept in a closed
vessel until required for use.
The enamel prepared as above is applied by means of a brush or equivalent, and
it will dry intensely hard, presenting a transparent protective film, thoroughly
impervious to air and water; and therefore the surfaces of articles so protected may
always be kept clean without risk of injury or deterioration to the protective enamelling

page_text: film. The latter will possess also a certain degree of elasticity which will be of
advantage in varying temperatures as a preventative against the enamel "flying" or
peeling off.

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 :-
The transparent protective enamel, produced from the ingredients and in the manner
substantially as herein set forth.

We, BENJAMIN CLIFFORD SYKES M.D. of St. John's House Cleckheaton in the
County of York, and GEORGE BLAMIRES, of High Street, Cleckheaton, aforesaid,
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 relates to the vibrating back bearers over which the warp passes from
the warp beam; the object being to provide that whilst at all times the warp shall be
held sufficiently tight for the effective beating up of the weft, undue strain on the
warp from any cause shall be provided against or compensated for, by the yielding
movement of back bearer, the latter being mounted and controlled by improved
mountings, parts and appliances hereinafter fully described.
Such being the nature and object of this our Invention, the following is a complete.
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which form
part of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of warp beam, back bearer, and appliances connected
therewith.
Fig. 2. is a plan view (partly in section) of Fig. 1.
At 1 is the end framing of the loom, to which the bracket 2 is bolted, through the
boss 3, of which a stud 4, carrying the pendant link 5, in the slot 6 is the shaft or
gudgeon 7, of the back bearer roller 8, behind and forming part of the link 5, is the
projecting piece 9, to which the collar 10, is by pin 11 attached, forming a moveable
joint, to the collar 10 is attached the spindle 12 in which is the spiral spring 13, so
that when "beating up," or when from any cause, undue strain is put upon the warp and
warp beam 14, the bearer 8 and links 5 oscilate on the carrying stud 4 in the direction of
the beat up, the spring 13 is compressed by the collar 10, and the end of the
spindle 12 slides through the part 15 of the bracket 16 bolted to the end frame 1
and eases the strain on warp; the parts just referred to are all clearly shewn by
drawing Fig. 2.

page_text: Soon as the strain is relieved the spring 12 expands and the roller 8 and other parts
resume their original position.
It will be understood that the apparatus herein described is applied at both end
frames of the loom, also that the bearer 8, need not necessarily be a roller or complete
circle, as a semicircular or ) bearer may be employed, but we prefer a roller free to
move on its axis or centre 7.
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
The improvements in vibratory or moveable back bearers wherein is employed
spindles 12 connected with supports such as 5 for carrying the back bearer together
with springs such as 13, and brackets 2 and 16 all in combination for purpose and
constructed as herein described and illustrated by annexed drawings.

IMPROVEMENT OF A FIRE BOX OR TROLLY FOR THE HEATING OF A BAKERS OVEN, AND FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE
Year: 1887

page_text: I, WILLIAM BEGG, of 8 Olive Terrace, Sale in the County of Chester Agent an
invention for THE IMPROVEMENT OF A FIRE BOX OR TROLLY FOR THE HEATING OF A
BAKERS OVEN, AND FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE 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 to construct a fire box or trolly of iron or fireclay,
or a combination of iron and fireclay for the purpose of heating a bakers oven
requiring great heat, thereby obtaining more perfect combustion, by the consumption
of smoke and the economy of fuel.
I make my fire box and trolly of iron or fire clay or a combination of both those
materials, but by prefference of iron of any desired size or shape having a series of
holes through the sides and ends thereof for the admission of atmospheric air which
becomes superheated in its passage through the said series of holes, and comingling
with the gases from the burning fuel completes its combustion without lowering the
temperature of the oven by the admission (as usual) of cold atmospheric air.
Fig. 1 is an horizontal section shewing fire box and space for fire.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section shewing the entrance of atmospheric air through tube A
into fire box B superheated in its passage thro' the holes or slits c. d. e. f. comingling
with the flames g. and so cause more perfect combustion.
Having now particularly described the nature of my invention, my claim is for
Improvement in fire box or trolly or as sometimes called a Bakers Waggon,
having a series of holes in ends and sides for the admission of air which becomes
superheated in its passage thro' the sides and ends of box and so coming into contact
with the burning fuel consumes the greater part of the smoke thereof.

page_text: 1, THOMAS FLETCHER of Thynne Street Warrington in the County of Lancaster
Manufacturer of Gas Apparatus, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:—
This Invention relates to a new or improved gas stove for heating apartments and
for the like purposes and these Improvements consist in the construction and arrange-
ment of the stove in such a manner that the products of combustion from the gas
burner or burners pass upwards and downwards through the stove and finally escape
at or near the bottom.
The body of the stove may have a circular or other convenient horizontal section
and is closed at the top. Within the stove a vertical partition is fixed which extends
from the lower part of the stove to within a short distance of the closed top or is
otherwise formed and arranged so that a space is left in or above the partition at or
near the top of the stove. The partition thus divides the interior of the stove into two
compartments communicating with each other at or near the top. In one of these
compartments one or more ordinary illuminating gas flames is used, the heated air
from which ascends in that compartment to the top of the stove whence it passes
through the opening to the other compartment where it descends and escapes by the
bottom of the stove or through one or more outlets formned or provided at or near the
bottom. It is unimportant whether the bottom of the stove is or is not closed if
sufficient outlet or outlets is or are provided for the escaping gases, but I prefer to
close the bottom in stoves for general use, and to provide an opening to allow radiated

page_text: heat from the burners to escape, and for lighting the burner or burners, in addition to
the outlet or outlets for the escaping gases and heated air. The heated air and products
of combustion from the stove may be allowed free escape or they may be carried away
by means of a flue.
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 gas stove for heating apartments and for similar purposes, constructed and
arranged substantially as hereinbefore set forth and described.

I, HARRISON JACKSON of 1 Cannon Street, Manchester in the County of Lancaster,
Tea 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:-
:-.
In consists in an improved method of treating tea before use, by means of which,
the astringent quality known in the trade as
"tannin "
is to a great extent, or wholly
neutralized, destroyed, or eliminated.
It consists in depositing upon the tea a suitable quantity of carbonate of soda, or
other similar alkali. This is best accomplished by either spraying over the tea, or
steeping the tea in, a solution formed by mixing the alkali in a suitable quantity of
water, and then drying the same, so as to evaporate the water leaving the alkali.
remaining on the tea. It may however be accomplished by mixing the alkali with the
tea in the form of powder, and then damping the tea by steam or other suitable
process, and then drying.
Or, the tea may be damped first, and the alkali then mixed with it in the form of
powder, and the tea then dried. Neither of these two last processes is however so
satisfactory as the first, as they alter the colour of the tea, which is not
affected by the first process. The proportion of alkali is varied to suit the quality of
the tea, a larger proportion of alkali being employed where a greater amount of
"tannin" is existent in the tea, but the usual proportion is about one per cent.
of carbonate of soda to each pound of tea.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what 1
claim is:

נג
The method of neutralizing, destroying, or eliminating, the noxious quality of tea,
known as tannin by treating the same with carbonate of soda, or other similar
alkali, substantially as described herein before..

page_text: CHARLES HENRY GREEN 118, West 123rd Street New York City United States
of America does 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 Color or ink pads used for supplying rubber Stamps with
ink, Selfinking Pads for Stamps have heretofore been made of glue or gelatine charged
with Color and which have been easily affected by the climate and also were easily
injured & destroyed by pressing the Stamp on its surface-The object of my invention
is to avoid these imperfections and to produce a Self inking pad not in any case
affected by heat or cold and while holding and giving out the Color has a hard
surface which will always remain smooth and bear any amount of pounding with the
stamp without injury.
For my ink container I use any kind of textile fabric but preferably felt which I
charge with color under pressure-This container I make about three sixteenths of an
inch in thickness and when fully charged with color place it on a block of wood or
hard substance as shown in Figure 2 of the drawing letter a is the container and
b the backing or block-I then take a piece of cotton cloth and stretch it tight over
the surface and fasten it to the block at the sides and ends to make a smooth surface
I then place the block thus arranged in a metal or other receptacle with a cover as
shown in Figure 1. I secure the ink pad or container and the block in the box by
bending the sides over on to the pad-In this way I have a self inking pad for rubber
Stamps which will supply the ink evenly to the Stamp under slight pressure and avoid
all the objections to those at present in use and one that can be used in either a hot or
old climate

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
1st. The improved inking cushion or pad consisting of a textile container charged
or incorporated with ink or color by compression substantially as described.
2nd. The combination of a textile pad or container charged with color with the
block or backing and the cloth covering substantially as described.
3rd. A combined ink or color pad with a backing of hard substance and an enclosing
case substantially as described.

I JOHN GEORGE MILLER of 21 Cecil Street, Greenheys, Manchester, Coal and Iron
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
These improvements relate to a novel construction and arrangement of bakers
wagon or chaffer which will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawing.
Fig. 1 is a side sectional view and Fig. 2 an end view of an ordinary bakers wagon
composed of the top (a) fire bars (b) and bottom (c).
Instead of employing curved ribs or rails projecting from and reaching the length
of the bottom of the wagon as heretofore to facilitate its sliding to and fro in the oven,
I mount the end of the wagon upon coned rollers (d d) working in suitable recesses (e)
and both revolving upon the same axis (f) as illustrated.
In this manner I am enabled to reduce friction and to traverse the wagon with a
facility which has hitherto been impossible the front of the wagon rests upon a pair of
shortened curved ribs (g) and in some cases these ribs may be replaced by rollers
similarly mounted in recesses to those at the end of the wagon.
My improvements also consist in the application of the same class of rollers to the
ordinary solid wagon or chaffer as illustrated by side sectional view Fig. 3. plan view
Fig. 4 and transverse sectional view Fig. 5.
The application of coned rollers (h) to this modification is the same as in the
wagon represented by Figs. 1 and 2 and such rollers are also in this case applicable to
the end and front of the wagon.

page_text: I do not necessarily confine myself to the cone form of rollers as spherical or
cylindrical rollers might be substituted with more or less useful effect.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The improvements in wagons or chaffers for heating bakers ovens substantially
as herein before described.
2nd. Mounting wagons or chaffers upon rollers substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.

GOLDING, 172 Albany Street London N.W. 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 consists in making a tooth brush with a holder for inserting one of
the fingers. In the manufacture of our tooth brush we employ bone, ivory, metal,
india-rubber, composition or any other suitable substance.
In order that the tooth brush may be more economical & portable, it can be
made in detachable parts, so that when one brush is worn out another can be attached
to the holder, or when travelling the brush can be unfastened & put inside the
holder as shown in Fig. IV.
To suit the variations in the size of fingers, different methods are employed for
carrying out our invention. Four methods are shown in Figs. I. II. III. & V.
Figs. I & II represent holders or finger-caps with sliding rings, which rings by
being forced back tighten the holders by narrowing their circumference.

The dotted lines represent part of the brush in the holder, the brush being pushed
nearly through.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. Constructing a tooth brush that can be adjusted or fixed to one of the
fingers.
2nd. Making a tooth brush of two independent parts, viz. a brush or part for
cleaning the teeth, & a finger holder; which parts can be easily taken to pieces &
put together.

page_text: I, EDWARD HOWARD HASKELL of Gloucester, in the County of Essex and State
of Massachusetts, one of the United States of America, 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 relates to improvements in twine, and it is carried out as follows,
reference being had to the accompanying drawing which represents a side
view of the twine, its lower end being shown untwisted to represent the position of
the central core.
The twine is made in all sizes and plies, and it consists of a central strand a, of
manila or sisal yarn, around which are wound spirally one or more plies of jute
strands bbb, as shown in the drawing.
The object sought to be attained is to secure additional strength to the twine
and at the same time to preserve the appearance and softness of ordinary jute twine.
The central strand of manila, or sisal yarn imparts the desired strength, while
the surrounding strands of jute give pliability and softness to the improved
Twine.
.
I am aware that cotton and hemp have been combined together as well as silk and
worsted with hemp in the manufacture of ropes, and I wish to state that I do not
claim such combinations as my invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :
As a new article of manufacture, a twine composed of a central strand of manila
or, sisal yarn a surrounded by one or more plies of jute strands b b b for the purpose
of increasing the strength and retaining the softness and pliability of the article as
hereinabove set forth.

page_text: 1 JOHN BEESLEY of 55 West Orchard in the City of Coventry Mechanician 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 consists of an improved means for fixing and holding detachable parts
of velocipedes cycles and other machinery and is performed as follows:-
I first take a piece of metal of any suitable shape or form which I call a base,
attached to the base in the position which I may require is a flexible band or strap of
metal or other suitable material, to which is attached a screwed rod or pin of sufficient.
length to pass or rest in a slot or groove in the base. On the end of the rod or pin
is a screw nut which (when the rod or pin rests in the slot or groove) bears on the
face of the base above the slot or groove, for the purpose of tightening the band or
strap the whole forming a clip or bracket. The article to be attached to the velocipede
cycle or other machinery is fixed in any suitable manner or position to, or made as a
portion of the base as may be required.
I will now proceed to describe my invention with reference to the accompanying
drawings:-
A is a metal base of any suitable size and form, attached to A at F by any suitable
means is B a flexible band or strap of metal or other material, attached to B at I
is C, a screwed metal rod or pin which extends from I and passes through the slot or
groove G, the face H of base A forms a bed for the nut D from whence the tension is
communicated by C to B which encircles E the article or part of machinery to which
the clip is fixed and any article to be fixed or held by the clip or bracket will be
attached by any suitable means and position or made as a portion of base A.
When the clip is required for use the nut D is unscrewed sufficiently to allow of
the pin or rod C to be taken out of the slot or groove G the flexible band or strap B
is then placed round the article or part of machinery to which it is required to be
fixed the pin or rod C is then placed in the slot or groove G and the nut D is then
screwed up until the base A and band or strap B bear sufficiently tight on the article
or part of machinery to prevent the clip or bracket from slipping.
The advantages obtained are, that it is very easily and quickly adjusted and cannot
fall off the article or part of machinery to which it is affixed by reason of the band
encircling the same.

page_text: I do not confine myself to any particular form or shape of the base, band, rod or
pin and nut.
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 combination of a metal base, a flexible band or strap of metal or other
material a screwed rod or pin and a nut the whole forming an adjustable detachable
clip or bracket.

We, ERNST AUGUST JAHNCKE Manufacturer of Canonbury Works, Dorset Street,
Essex Road, Islington, and HENRY WILLIAM HERBST, Engineer of 102 Englefield
Road, Islington, both in the County of Middlesex 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 improvements consist in the construction and manufacture of round, oval, or
similar shapes of metallic boxes, also in the advantage that although the lid holds
securely on to the body the lid may be easily removed, in the manner as hereinafter
described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
The box consists of two drawn up shells, one forming the body and the other the
lid drawn up in the ordinary way; the one forming the body is fitted with a metal
ring or band as shown at "a" in section figure 2 and figure 5. To produce this
band a metal strip is cut to the required height and length, then the strip is rolled to
the shape of the box, the two ends to abut against one another as shown at "&"
figures 3 and 5, so that the ring fits tight into the drawn up shell intended for the
body and smoothly into the lid the ring or band is now pressed into the body shell
and retained therein by its expanding capacity, it may also be fastened therein with
solder or similar means when required.
Now, the metal ring being a perfect cylinder, the pressure of the lid against that
portion of the ring which forms the neck of the body of the box is uniform at all
points as well when the lid is being put on as after it is on. This gives the advantage
of the lid retaining its position until removed. The lid abuts on to a shoulder formed
by the edge of the body shell round the outside of the ring, thereby combining neatness
of appearance with the perfect closing of the box.

We SAMUEL PEARSON of Barr Street Hockley in the County of Warwick Metalurgist
ALFRED WILLIAM TURNER of Cobden Buildings Corporation Street Birmingham in
the County of Warwick Mechanical Engineer, WILLIAM ANDREWS of Victoria Road
Aston in the County of Warwick Mechanical 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 :-
In carrying out our invention we provide Flouride of Calcium henceforward
called A also Sodium Carbonate henceforward called B also Sodium Hydrate
henceforward called C also Sodium Oxide henceforward called D also Potassium
Carbonate henceforward called E also Potassium Hydrate henceforward called F also
Potassium Oxide henceforward called G.
We proceed to utilize these reagents A. B. C. D. E F G in the following manner.
We construct a furnace of any suitable and convenient form.
We provide any or all of the following minerals namely Aluminic Silicate
henceforward called 1 Aluminic Potassic Silicate henceforward called 2. Aluminic
Sodic Silicate henceforward called 3 or Cryolite henceforward called 4.
We place in the furnace either one or more of the minerals herein before described
as 1, 2, 3, 4 together with the reagent Flouride of Calcium (hereinbefore described
as A) combined with one or more of the other reagents B C D E F G when we wish
to form alloys, we also place in the furnace metal or metals out of which we intend to
form alloys chosing such metals as are capable of forming an alloy with Aluminum.
The quantity of minerals put into the furnace would be 100 parts of either 1-2-3
or 4.
The quantity of reagent A put into the furnace would be 10 parts; or in lieu
of 10 parts of A we put into the furnace 3 parts of A and make up the 10 parts by
adding 7 parts of either of the other reagents B C D E F or G.

page_text: In other cases we put into the furnace four parts of of A and one part of B, one
part of C, one part of D, one part of E, one one of F and one part of Ġ to make the
ten parts.
The weight of metal or metals put into the furnace to form alloys would be
100 parts.
We next heat these reagents, minerals, mineral compounds and metals in the
furnace to a melting point, the reagents then act on the mineral Aluminic compounds,
causing a chemical change thereby liberating the Aluminum which combining with
the metal or metals forms an alloy containing a per centage of Aluminum.
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
1st. The utilization of the reagents hereinbefore described as A. B. C. D. E. F. G
in the manner herein set forth for the purpose of extracting Aluminum from the
minerals herein before described as 1. 2. 3. 4 and also for forming alloys in the manner
described.
