Improvements in the Manufacture of Compound Cakes for Cattle
Feeding and the like.
I, JOSEPH BIBBY of Exchange Chambers, Bixteth Street, Liverpool in the
County of Lancaster, Seed Crusher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
Those cattle feeding cakes technically known as compound cakes (that is, cakes
formed of various oil bearing and farinaceous matters mixed together in the
proportions considered best adapted for various objects in cattle feeding) have
hitherto been formed by grinding up various forms of oil cake, farinaceous matters
and cereal oil seeds, and pressing under pressure with or without binding material
.
into cakes.
By the old process, the oil seeds and cakes are submitted to five different
operations-
1st. Grinding or comminuting the seed,
2nd. Pressing to extract the oil,
3rd. Again grinding the cake,
4th. Mixing the different ingredients,
5th. Again pressing to make the compound cake.
Now my invention is designed to do away with two of these operations, namely,
the re-grinding and re-pressing, my process consisting only of one grinding, one
mixing and one pressing, thus extracting the oils and producing a compound cake
at the same time.
In carrying my invention into effect, I take, say, linseed, cotton seed, palm nuts,
cocoa nuts and farinaceous matters in varying quantities to suit the particular
prescription or particular use for which the food is required and treat them as above
stated, and this produces what is technically known as a compound cake at less cost
and of a fresher and more nutty quality.
The oil extracted by this process can be used for any use for which mixed oils
are required.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Compound Cakes for Cattle
Feeding and the like.
I, JOSEPH BIBBY of Exchange Chambers, Bixteth Street, Liverpool in the
County of Lancaster, Seed Crusher 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 :-
It is known that, in order to feed and fatten cattle most advantageously, the
albuminoid ratio of the food should be such as to suit the particular end or object
in view, and that, in feeding on oil cakes, (that is, cakes made from any single oil
seed) the best ratio of ingredients for feeding purposes cannot be obtained, because
no single seed gives the proportions in the ratio which feeding experts find it most
advantageous to employ."
Now this difficulty has hitherto been met by making what is technically called a
compound cake, composed of such different oil cakes, cereal and farinaceous matter,
as are found to give the best results in feeding. Under this process of making
compound cakes, the oil seeds have first to be pressed separately, and the oil

Figures and 4 are respectively a side elevation and a vertical section of a
closet to which the said stand or pedestal is applied for the purpose of connecting
a lead trap to an earthenware basin, and for supporting the trap and basin.
The stand or pedestal is composed of a segment of a cylinder a, a flange b at
bottom of the said segment and a socket c at top; or instead of the segmentia and
flange 6 two or more legs may be used to support the socket c. The flange,b (or
the legs when such are employed) is fixed to the floor by screws. d is the lead trap
and e the basin. The inlet of the lead trap which is bossed out as seen at f to
receive the outlet 7 of the basin, is passed up through the socket c of the stand
and the lead is turned over the top edge of the socket as shown and formed into a
socket h for the basin. The stand supports the trap above the floor line as shown.
Around the basin is a flange or protuberance i which when the outlet g is introduced
into the inlet of the trap d becomes seated on the turned over part of the trap as
shown, and these parts are connected with red lead putty and yarn or other
suitable cement; set screws passed through the socket c may also be used.

A New Texture with Weft of Wood Filaments.
1, LEON LAMBERT of 16 Rue Drouot, Paris, Commercial Clerk, 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 the manufacture of a texture having its weft consisting
of wood filaments, applicable to many different purposes especially to act as a
vegetable under felt in substitution for the felts consisting of animal matters which
are favourable to the production of vermin.
The texture may be dyed to any colour. It may also, especially when it is
employed as packing between rails and sleepers, be impregnated with any pre-
servative substance. In order to insure deeper injection of such substance into the
fibres, and so to increase the strength, suppleness, hardness and durability of the
filaments employed for the texture, the wood itself, before being cut into filaments,
may be treated with preservative or other substances, by vacuum, pressure or other
processes for incorporating with the wood the substances capable of imparting
special qualities.
The actual manufacture of the texture has no special feature, the invention
consists essentially in the novel use for making a texture, of wood filaments of
various lengths obtained by the machinery which is largely employed to make
such filaments for packing or like purposes. These filaments can be spun, and it is
the product of this spinning which I employ in the manufacture of the textures
described. These textures may be employed as they come from the loom, or they
may be pressed, pleated, raised to pile or otherwise treated; they may also be
coated or impregnated with various substances, such for instance as may render them
impervious or incombustible, or they may be ornamented by dyeing, printing or any
other suitable process.
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:
A new texture having its weft consisting of wood filaments such as are cut
from wood for forming wood wool, the texture thus produced or the fibres or wood
being treated, if desired, with substances giving special qualities, substantially as
herein described.

Improvements in and connected with Billiard Cue Tips.
I, JOSEPH BRITTON of Anchor Institute Johnson Street Notting Hill Gate
London W. Caretaker, 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 billiard cues, ami
has for its object to provide an improved means whereby the leather tips can be
secured on the end of the rod. In some of the methods hitherto employed for
fastening the tips, tubes or ferrules of metal are employed, but these are found
cold and unpleasant to the touch.
According to my invention, I employ a thin plate fixed onto the end of the rod
by a small screw, the plate being of exactly the same diameter as the end of the
rod. From the face of this plate project three or more small pins, very finely
pointed, and fixed to the plate in any suitable manner, such as by screwing. The
leather tip is placed accurately on top and is forced down until it bears upon the
plate, the pins holding it in place securely. In order that it may be placed on more
evenly, I may employ a small thimble with the end formed similarly to the end of
the tip, which is placed over the tip, a blow being given fastening the tip firmly on
the rod.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows the cue with improved
tip, Fig. 2 the end with leather tip removed, Fig. 3 a plan of the plate, and Fig. 4
a section of the thimble employed in fixing the tip.
A is the cue, having the end evenly cut, and the plate B, fixed by means of
the small screw C, the head of which lies flush with the top of the plate. Pro-
jecting from the face of the plate are the sharply pointed pins D, three being
shown in plan, on which the leather tip E is fixed. Fis the thimble, the top of
which is curved similarly to the tip. This serves to secure the tip on more evenly
than would otherwise be the case, but may be dispensed with, if desired.

Gentleman, 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 tobacco pipe which may be readily
carried in the pocket without danger from fire or burning.
The figure upon the appended drawing represents an elevation of said pipe
according to my invention, with the interior parts thereof indicated by a dotted
outline.
In carrying my invention into effect I provide an outer metal casing A, carrying
within it a pipe bowl C of much less diameter to allow of an annular air space 13
between A and C. A stem D is adapted to pass through the outer casing A and
screw into the bowl C, and a flexible tube E, terminating in a mouthpiece F is
fitted to D, as shewn.

cover it when closed. Said lid may be plain or corrugated interiorly to facilitate
the passage of air, and is retained closed by a catch a, attached to A. A series of
holes e are pierced through the casing A opposite to d.
In using the improved pipe the bowl C is filled with tobacco, and the light
applied, then the lid is closed, and the necessary air is drawn into the space 13
through the side holes e in the casing A, passing through d under the cover to
the burning tobacco. The pipe and case A may be placed in the waistcoat or
other pocket, lying lengthways, so that the nicotine evolved is consumed without
harm to the smoker.

Improvements in Carving Forks.
I, HENRY COOPER SEDDON of 4 Colinett Road, Putney, in the County of
Surrey, Retired Colonel in Her Majesty's Service, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows
1
The object of my invention is to produce carving forks that will obviate the
danger resulting from the unreliability of movable guards as usually employed
with or without springs, and will reduce the liability to accumulation of dirt which
obtains with carving forks of ordinary kinds.
For this purpose a carving fork according to my invention is made with a fixed
guard located at or in proximity to the root of the prongs as I will now proceed to
explain with reference to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings
whereof
Fig. 1 shows in side elevation so much of a carving fork as is necessary to
illustrate my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan, and
Fig. 3 an end view.
A and B are the ordinary prongs. C is a fixed guard which may be of any
convenient form.
A carving fork according to my invention made with a shorter guard than on an
ordinary carving fork will afford equal protection to the fingers by reason of the

An Improved Insecticide and Anticryptogamic Composition for the
Treatment of Plants.
I, SYDNEY PITT of Sutton in the County of Surrey Gentleman (a communication
to me by Schloesing Frères of Marseilles in the Republic of France) 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 invention consists in using the purifying matters from gas works freed
from cyanides with or without addition of copper sulphate, according to circum-
stances, with an addition of tobacco liquor such as produced in the manufacture
of tobacco for the object of preserving plants against insects and cryptogamic
diseases.
I am aware that the purifying matters from gas works, such as described, have
already been used with success for the said object, but I have found that the
addition of tobacco liquor enhances considerably the effect of the said matters,
and I am not aware that it has yet been proposed.
According to the present invention, tobacco liquor is added in proportions
varying from one to five per cent., according to its degree of concentration, to the
purifying matters from gas works freed from cyanides, and the whole is after
intimate mixture dried at a low heat, then triturated very fine for use.
Tobacco powder may also be used with the same object, but without obtaining
the same good results, the use of the liquor admitting of a greater division and more
intimate action on the plants.
The purifying matter from gas works which is suitable for use in accordance
with this invention is such as contains a large proportion (say 25 to 30%) of
uncombined finely divided sulphur together with oxide of iron and tarry and other
matter.
Copper sulphate may be used in the proportion say of 8 to 10 per cent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The above described compound obtained by the addition of tobacco preferably.
in a state of liquor to the purifying matters of gas works freed from cyanides with
or without addition of copper sulphate, for use as an insecticide and anticryptogamic
specific for the treatment of plants.

Improved Window Cleaning Appliance.
A communication by JOSEPH STEINMÜLLER, of Karlsbad, Bohemia.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S. M.I.M.E. of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street Liverpool and 6 Bank Street Manchester
both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn in the County of
Middlesex, Civil 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 has for its object a window cleaning apparatus which may be
employed both for washing as well as for wiping dry the panes and the brush of
which may be placed in various positions according to requirements.
This improved window cleaning apparatus is represented on the accompanying
drawings, Figure 1, being a front view and Figure 2 a perspective view.
The apparatus consists of a cross bar B, which by means of the pin e is movably
connected with the shaft A and carries at its ends the brush C for washing the
panes, and at the other end a sheet of india rubber D for wiping the same dry.
A semi circular piece E is let into the cross bar B, which is passed through
a slot of the shaft A, Fig. 2, and may be fixed firmly to the shaft A in any
suitable position by means of the pin finserted therein.
For this purpose several holes d are arranged in the curved piece E in order
that by turning the cross bar B and inserting the pin through the shaft A in one
of the holes d, the angle between the cross bar B and the shaft A may be altered as
required, which is especially of advantage when it is desired for instance to clean
the outer surfaces of the window panes from the inside room, that is to say, when
the shaft must not be held vertical but in an inclined position as shown in Fig. 2.
The india rubber plate D serving for drying the panes is clamped firmly by
means of the screws c between the wood plates a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion 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 :-
A window cleaning appliance consisting of a cross bar B carrying at one end a
brush C and at the other end an india rubber plate D which cross bar is movably
connected with the shaft A by means of a curved piece E which is inserted in a
slot g of the shaft A. and which may be turned as desired and fixed in the position
assumed, to the shaft A, by means of a pin f stuck through the latter.

Improvements in Lace Window Curtains.
We EDWARD ELSEY of Russell Street Works, Nottingham in the Town and
County of the Town of the same, Lace and Lace Curtain Manufacturer, and JOHN
SULLEY of the same place, Manager for the said Edward Elsey 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 lace window curtains and especially to
such as are manufactured by means of bobbin net or twist lace machinery.
Our new article of manufacture consists of a lace body or ground of plain or
ornamental clothing or relatively thick or more opaque work with preferably series
of openings top and bottom left in manufacture for the running in of tapes or
strings to support and distend the material and in the middle portion of the ground,
we produce in the weaving by suitable arrangements of the working parts of known
description diamond or equivalently shaped parts composed only of the warp
threads, or only of the weft threads, or such attenuated or thin weavings of both,.
that a substantially transparent series of openings are produced and having strong
bordering produced by a closer or thicker or stronger weavings at those parts than
even in the ground. By these means we are enabled to produce a new manufacture
of curtain ready for mounting or use, in the piece and only requiring cutting as to
length to the window to be fitted and presenting the appearance or effect of a
gathered curtain such as now commonly produced by cutting a series of slits in a
sheet of fabric and tieing the fabric between adjacent slits into a series of
necks.
The appearance of our new curtains may be made still more to resemble the
above mentioned cut and tied curtain by the attachment at the necks of the pattern.
of ribbons in bows or other suggestions of ticing in.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
a indicates at each repetition of that letter an "opening" or thin portion of the
work through which in the actual curtain a person sitting within and looking out

unobserved whilst the appearance at a distance may be that of a clear opening.
in each repeat indicates the border of the opening and c the ground (here
shewn plain but it may be figured or colours may be used) d indicates the series of
openings at top and d¹ those at the bottom for stringing.

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.
An improved curtain for use at windows composed of lace, and having a series of
portions of transparent material (preferably with a sufficiently strong bordering
around each opening) and a relatively opaque or thick ground, as and for the.
purpose set forth.

An Appliance to Middlings Purifiers for Separating the Lighter from the Heavier Particles of the Tailings.
Year: 1892

An Appliance to Middlings Purifiers for Separating the Lighter
from the Heavier Particles of the Tailings.
I, HENRY SIMON of 20 Mount Street, Manchester in the County of Lancaster,
Civil 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 :-
The tailings delivered from the sieve of a middlings purifier usually consist of
the heavier particles that have not passed through the meshes of the sieve mixed
with lighter particles which have escaped the raising action of the air current
passed through the sieve.
This invention relates to an appliance for separating the lighter from the
heavier particles of the tailings as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a part longitudinal section shewing the end portion of a purifier of
known construction.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line X X of Fig. 1.
S is the end part of the sieve from which the tailings are delivered into a trough
or hopper T at the bottom of which revolves a roughened roller R having resting
on it the lower edge of a light flap valve V.
Beyond the roller and valve is a vertical channel C having at its bottom inlets
for air and a hopper H and outlet for the heavier particles. The channel C opens
at its top preferably with a downward bend into a charaber E, which expands
upwards having a sloping side F, and it may have also sloping baffles D and G.
At the top of the chamber E there is an opening controlled by a valve K into the
passage of the purifier leading to the suction fan. The tailings from the sieve S
are regularly delivered by the action of the roller R conjointly with the valve V
into the channel C where they meet with the ascending air current. The heavier
particles descend through the current to the hopper H and outlet, while the lighter
particles are carried up by the air current into the chamber E where, as the
current loses its velocity owing to increase of area for its passage, these particles
are deposited, some of them on the slopes of the side and baffles whence they
descend to the bottom of the chamber to be removed by a worm W or other
suitable conveyor.
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.
An appliance for separating the lighter from the heavier particles of the tailings
of a middlings purifier, consisting of the roller and valve, the ascending air
channel and the expanding chamber leading to the suction channel of the purifier,
arranged and operating substantially as described.
