I, HENRY LEWIS DOULTON, of Lambeth Pottery, Lambeth in the County
of Surrey, Potter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stoves for heating by means of gas.
I introduce the gas in the upper portion of the stove somewhat above the point
of combustion. It is carried under a deflector of fireclay or similar refractory
material by means of one or more pipes, so that it becomes superheated before
arriving at the burner rail or point of combustion.
The deflector is suspended in any convenient manner above the gas pipes before
mentioned and is of such form as to radiate a large amount of heat to the floor and
is provided with an overhanging lip to retain the products of combustion so to keep
the gas passing through the tubes at a very high temperature.
The stove is provided with a highly glazed reflector below the burners, preferably
curved which secures secondary radiation and reflected heat.

Improvements in or relating to Buoyant Fabrics.
I, JOHANN GOTTLOB HEINZE, Manufacturer, of Gera, in the German Empire,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
Woven fabrics rendered buoyant by means of quills or feathertops worked into
the same, have not sufficient elasticity, to allow a person wearing such fabrics to
move freely in the water.
To avoid this drawback, I use instead of woven, ordinary knitted or other looped
fabrics into which the feather quills or tops have been inserted in the process of
manufacture, on the ordinary knitting machine or analogous mechanism.
2
This may be done by knitting a close double fabric (double borders) and inserting
the feather quills from the side into the transverse grooves or channels open at
both ends, after which the two ends are closed by sewing. The sheets or tapes of
buoyant fabric thus formed are sewn on to a knitted shirt or elastic jacket in such
a manner and in such number, that the person wearing the said garment will float
on the water.

Improvements in Shaving Apparatus.
1, FERDINAND WILLIAM BAKER, of the firm of Sadler and Baker, of Camberley,
in the County of Surrey, Auctioneers and Estate Agents, 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 shaving apparatus and has for its object to provide a
combined razor strop and case.
According to my invention I make a razor case of any suitable material such
as wood or pasteboard for example and cover the sides of the same with leather
or other suitable material so as to form a surface on which the razor may be
sharpened or stropped.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I have shewn in
the accompanying drawing one method by way of example of carrying the same
into practice.
A is a case of any suitable material having hollows of suitable shape and size to
hold the razors B which are kept in position when the case is open by means of
buttons C, the top and bottom of the case are covered with leather or other
material D suitable for sharpening a razor and preferably one of the said surfaces
is adapted for roughly sharpening the razor and the other for finishing the
sharpening operation as is commonly the case with razor strops. E is a handle
by which the case is held when it is closed and being used as a strop.
The case shewn in the drawing is constructed to hold two razors but it is evident
that accommodation may be provided within the case for a greater or less number
of razors.
The said case is shown with a lid hinged at the side but it is obvious that it may
be hinged at the ends. The upper part or lid of the case may also be made to
slide on the lower part or be secured thereto in any suitable manner so as to allow
the razors to be taken therefrom.
I may make the case in other suitable or well known forms such as for instance
of a square or flat tube with a capped end or capped ends the sides of the tube
being covered with sharpening or stropping material.
As an alternative I may make the strop of tubular form, with an inner open end,
the said strop fits into a suitable casing and receives the razor in its interior, both
strop and razor being received by the said casing.
My said improved combined razor case and strop forms a very compact and
convenient article which can be stowed away in a dressing case for example into a
very small space.
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 combined razor case and strop substantially as described.

Improvements in or relating to Horse-shoes.
I, MARTIN PIOOT of 193 Rue du Progres Brussels, in the Kingdom of Belgium,
Farrier, 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 this invention is to dispense with the screw and the two nuts which
it was proposed to employ in my former Patent No. 4128 of the 7th March 1891,
whereby the cork plates were to be retained between the flanges formed on the
lower side of the horse-shoe. To replace them, I form notches B in the two arms
of the horse-shue, near their ends as shown in the accompanying drawings. Into
these the two hinged plates A A forming as it were the sole of the horse-shoe
engage their ends, whereby they are firmly retained in position and in their turn
retain the cork lining.
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,
1. The improved method of attachment of the sole-plate to the horse-shoe for
retaining in position its cork-linings consisting in the provision of notches near the
ends of both arms of the horse-shoe for the said plates to engage in substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination with a horse-shoe having notchos such as B of two hingod
sole plates A having their ends fitting into the said notches substantially as described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

each of which is a disc D D¹ free to rotate thereon and resting on the periphery of
the driving wheels F F¹. The said discs D D' are connected by a frame or by
other means to similar parallel discs E E' which are also loose on the upright
pillars C C. Instead of being connected by a frame or other means, the discs may
form the ends of rollers which run loose on the upright pillars C and C¹. To the
said upright pillars is journalled a horizontal rotatable roller H in such a position
as to rest at each end on the upper discs E E¹ and to which said roller a wheel or
sails G or any other device which it is desired to rotate, is or are fixed.
The driving wheels F F being loose on the axle tree A, it follows that when the
toy is pushed along the ground the said wheels rotate the lower discs D D', the
motion of which is transmitted to the upper discs E E' which in their turn rotate
the roller H resting upon them. The wheels, sails, or other device G being fixed
to the roller H will partake of its rotating motion.
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 new or improved locomotive toy, from the driving wheels of which, motion is
transmitted to a parallel axle by means of disc wheels rotating freely on upright
pillars secured to the axle tree substantially as described and shewn in the accom--
panying drawings.

A New or Improved Method of Boning and Manufacturing Hams.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Boning and Manufacturing Hams.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD BRENDON, of 5, Whimple Street, Plymouth, in the
County of Devon, Provision 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 a certain new or improved method of boning and
manufacturing hams for consumption, and has for its object to remove the bones
and complete the manufacture in such manner that the original shape and
configuration of the ham will be in nowise altered, thereby not only rendering
it easier to carve and preventing waste, but also increasing its commercial value
per weight. Hitherto in boning hams the method has been to open the leg all along
the lines of the bones from end to end, then to cut the whole boue away from the
flesh, and finally to roll up the flesh and bind it round with cord, by which method
the original shape is entirely lost, and the product consequently is unsightly and
loses some of its commercial value; in some cases also the shank bone has been left
in the ham.
According to my improved method of boning I first open, preferably with a sharp-
pointed knife, only a very small portion, say two or three inches, of the flesh of the
inner side adjacent to the bones at either end and remove same, then I cut or, as it
were, tunnel or core out the central bone between the two end cuts, without
disturbing the surfaces of the ham in any way, and for this purpose I prefer to use
a gouge which may advantageously be somewhat cranked or bent in the handle.
Then in subsequent manufacture I securely lace up the two end cuts with cord
neatly threaded into the marginal surfaces of the flesh or skin in such manner as to
be practically unseen, and by this means the original shape of the completed article
remains unaffected and unaltered.
The accompanying figure illustrates the inner side of a ham, the lines of the three
leg bones being shown dotted. a-b and c-d represent the two short end cuts I
make exposing for removal respectively the ends of the femur or thigh and the
shank bones, and be is the part whereat I core out and remove the tibia or lower
thigh bone; then I close up and lace the cuts ab-cd as described and shown, and
the manufacture is accomplished.
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 I
claim is :-
The new or improved method of boning and manufacturing hams which consists
in first cutting two short openings adjacent to the bones at either end and removing
same, then coring out and removing the central bone, and finally lacing up the
two end cuts, in the manner above described whereby the original shape and
configuration of the ham are unaltered, substantially as and with the objects
hereinabove set forth.

Improvements in Dress Preservers.
I, WILHELM PLÖGER of 17 Rumannstrasse, Hanover, Germany, Manufacturer
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 refers to improvements in dress preservers. Those now in use
have to be sewn on along the whole periphery or half round edge. The sweat is
thus through this edge of the article brought in direct contact with the inside of
the dress material and penetrates thence the whole region of the arm pit through
the many stitch holes whereby it is sewn on. The replacing of the ordinary dress
preservers riz. by the undoing of the sewing of the old and the sewing on of the
new is moreover a tedious and also a very unpleasant labour.
My invention obviates these defects.
In the accompanying drawings I have shewn a suitable form of dress preserver,
Figure 1 being a plan, Figure 2 a plan view from above and Figure 3 a vertical
central section.
a is a spring hoop; its two ends b and c which may be somewhat reduced in size
take into thread loops d and e on the inner sleeve seam as shewn. The material of
the dress preserver is lapped round this loop a and permanently fixed thereto by a
suitable solution.
The edge of the dress preserver is stiffened by an insewn cord f of piassava or
other suitable material and bound with tape g or the like for preventing the sweat
from passing to the material of the dress.
The article is sold in the form shewn and the free ends 6c of the hoop a inserted
in the thread loops de so that it can be removed and replaced by a new one in a
few moments and without any sewing. The hoop follows the contour of the sleeve
seam without making itself felt in the arm pit but rather preventing by its curved
form the sweat producing contact between sleeve seam and armpit.
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 :-

Improvement in Fire Resisting Floors.
1 HUGH STANTON of 23 Queen Annes Gate in the City of Westminster Iron
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 :-
An improvement in fire resisting floors by using short beams or girders made
of cement or cement mixed with broken bricks sand ballast cokebreeze or other
material which I place side by side between the floor joists supporting them by
shaping their ends to fit the sections of joists on which they rest. By this means I
am able in the case of I shaped joists to get a bearing upon the top flange and also
by means of the sides or webs of my beams on the bottoni flange if desired. Further
I leave an air space both above & below the joists. Where the beams butt against
each other I fill the interstices with cement or some mixture of cement thus making
a solid surface at top & bottom. The sections & dimensions of my beams I vary
to suit depths of the floor joists & the weights to be carried.
Fig. I is a transverse section of my beam shown resting upon an I shaped joist.
Figs. II & III are longitudinal sections of the same the joist being shown in two
positions.
Fig. IV is a section of the end of my beam prepared for resting against an
I shaped joist.
Figs. V, VI & VII are other sections of my beams.
Fig. VIII is part plan & part horizontal sectional plan showing my beams
between I shaped joists.
I give these figures to demonstrate the principle of my floor but do not confine
myself to the particular shapes.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
An improvement in fire resisting floors by using beams or girders made of
cement or cement mixed with broken bricks sand ballast coke breeze or other
material placed between & supported by floor joists substantially as above described.

An Improvement in Feed Apparatus for Multiple Boilers.
I, ALFRED FERNANDEZ YARROW of Isle of Dogs, Poplar, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to the arrangement of feed apparatus for multiple boilers
in such a manner that I am enabled to heat the feed water for all the boilers by a
single feed heater and yet to supply cach boiler or group of boilers by pumping
the heated feed water.
For this purpose, I arrange the feed apparatus as I shall describe referring to
the accompanying diagram which shews by way of example a transverse section of
a vessel and engines with the feed apparatus arranged according to my invention.
By pumps A worked by the main engines or by donkey engines I force the feed
water into a close vessel B provided with a safety valve loaded so that the water in
this vessel is retained under pressure. From the vessel B the water passes through
a feed henter C to supply feed pumps D of which there may be several, each
feeding one boiler or one group of the boilers. The pressure in the vessel B, and
consequently in the feed heater C communicating with it, is such that, notwith-
standing the heating of the water, there is no generation of steam such as
would interfere with the suction of the feed pumps D.
By thus employing a single feed heater for all the boilers interposed between the
supply and the separate feed pumps, and heating the water under pressure, I greatly
simplify the feed apparatus which, owing to the difficulty of pumping heated water
when it is not under pressure would otherwise involve separate feed heaters for
each boiler or each group of boilers interposed between them and their respective
feed pumps.
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:
In combination with the separate feed pumps for multiple boilers, a feed heater
supplied with water maintained under such pressure that there is no generation of
steam in the heated water supplying the suction of the feed pumps, substantially as
described.

Improvements in or applicable to the Seouring of the Doors of
Strong Rooms, Safes, and the like.
I ARDESHER TEMOOLJI MIRZA of Jamnagar, Kathiawar, Bombay Presidency,
India, 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 :-
My said invention relates to improvements in the appliances used for securing the
doors of safes strong rooms and the like places.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 shows my said invention as seen from the interior of the safe.
Figure 2 shows part of the device as seen from the outside.
Hinged to the disc b mounted on a spindle or stem a of the handle a' are
bolts d which are shot or withdrawn as may be required. 9 represents the line of
junction of two doors or of one door and its jamb in the case of a single door.
Branch bolts d projecting from the main bolts & engage with sockets or guides p.in
one of the doors (in the case of double doors); both doors are thus secured
simultaneously. The branch bolts d' are somewhat shorter than the main bolts d
so that when the handle a' is rotated somewhat less than its full range the branch
bolts d' may be withdrawn from the guides p and one of the doors be released
without releasing the other door.
•
In order to sound an alarm when the handle al is turned the diso b is provided
with a toothed rim or ratchet b' with which engages a catch on the hammer i of a
bell or gong k. The bolts with this arrangement can be neither shot home nor
withdrawn without the bell or gong sounding.
Outside I use a hasp n attached to the handle a¹ and turning therewith and also
fitting on to a fixed staple m for the purpose of covering the key-hole; a padlock
may be attached to the staple m by way of additional security.
To prevent the handle being turned the disc b is formed with a depression or
recess o into which takes the bolt of the ordinary lock.
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. The bolting and securing device substantially as and for the purpose set forth
and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination of the handle a' the disc b tho main bolts d the branch
bolts d' the ratchet rim b¹ the lover hi and the bell k substantially as set forth and
shown in the accompanying drawings.
3. The hasp n attached to and revolving with the handle a¹ in combination with
the parts set forth in Claim 2 substantially as shown.
