An Improved Plate.
1, GUSTAV WILSKY of Tessin, Mecklenburg, in the German Empire, Druggist,
do hereby declare the nature of said 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 plates from which food is eaten and consists in con-
structing the bottom of the same with an inclined surface. The object of the
invention is to provide a plate on which the solid and liquid portions of the food
may be severally kept at particular parts of the plate as for instance when meat,
vegetables and sauce are on the same plate to prevent the sauce from mixing with
anything for which it is not required or with which it is distasteful, at the same
time economising the sauce, which would be an advantage to hotel and restaurant
proprietors. When fish is served, the bone, etcetera, may be removed on the higher
part of the plate bottom and eaten with sauce at the lower part instead of covering
the whole of the bottom with sauce. This form of plate renders unnecessary the
not infrequent tilting with the hand for finishing completely the contents of the
plate.
In the accompanying drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a top view and a
section of the plate of this invention which differs from the plates hitherto in use
only in that it has an inclined bottom as distinguished from a bottom parallel to
the edge of the plate and to the surface of the table and also in that it has a
bottom rim which like the upper edge is parallel to the table. The result is that
the higher part a of the plate bottom receives the more solid portions of the food
and the lower part the liquid portion thereof.
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 plate having a bottom inclined with regard to its upper and lower edges so
that on one side where the plate is deepest the lower edge or rim runs into (or
nearly so) the plate bottom whilst on the opposite side where the plate is shallowest
the lower edge or rim projects most from the plate bottom, substantially as
described and shewn.

Machine for Straining or Removing the Tendons or Leaders from
Chopped Meat, and for Straining Fruits, Soups, and other
Matters.
I, EMIL GRETHER, of 10 Grabenstrasse, Wiesbaden, in the Empire of 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 invention relates to a machine for straining or removing the tendons
or leaders from chopped meat and for straining potatoes, fruit and other matters.
By the present invention the unpleasant straining in an ordinary strainer or sieve
is obviated and the heavy expenses incurred in renewing and repairing the sieves
or strainers are avoided by a single outlay for a machine of the present construction,
in addition to which the machine works easily and quickly, and at the same time
does its work thoroughly.
The accompanying drawing represents a section of the machine, and the straining
surface m is made to form the bottom of the inner drum c so as to enable it to be
used not only for meat but also for potatoes, fruit and other matters. Rollers e
are arranged to run on axes carried by the plungers d, which latter are pressed
down by springs f. The pressure of these springs is regulated by means of
pressure screws h, which screw up and down in the supports g. All these parts are
connected to and supported by the cross bar or frame i, which latter is carried by
the bed plate k. The sieve or strainer drum c is rotated by means of the gearing
in connection with the hand wheel 6: The substance contained in the drum c is
caused to pass underneath the rollers e, which force it through the sieve or
whilst
straining surface m, whence it falls in a finely divided state into the drum
all residues, such as leaders or tendons, stones, grains, pips and the like, and in
short all thick and unbroken particles according to the substance being strained,
are retained in the drum c.
α,
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 :-
In a straining or sieving machine, the combination of a rotating sieve bottomed
drum C, rollers e within said drum, springs f for pressing down the rollers, screws h
for adjusting the pressure of the springs, and drum a for receiving the strained
mass, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.

Improvements relating to Reflectors for Electric Arc Lamps.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings 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 :-
This invention relates to reflectors for electric arc lamps.
Lighting by means of electric arc lamps supplied with alternating currents
possesses the defect that the rays of light from the lower carbon are thrown
upwards and are of no utility as regards the lighting of the ground unless suitable
reflectors are employed. Serviceable devices have heretofore been known, but
they are constructed in such a manner that the reflector placed directly above the
arc is within the lamp globe. Owing to this fact the reflector has in any case to
be of small dimensions and comparatively large globes must be used, so that the
number of the reflected rays appears small and the brilliancy of the light is thereby
lessened, while the cost of the large globes or lanterns is considerable. More light
with a reduction of the cost of manufacture is obtained by my improved construction
which consists in placing the arc of the lamp below a reflector of any desired size
and as near as practicable thereto, a glass globe which is open at the top and
smaller than the reflector being used for protecting the arc. By this means a
sufficiently large reflector may be arranged immediately above the are so as to
throw back all the rays of light of the lower carbon, while at the same time only a
small glass globe is used.
In the accompanying drawing, which represents two diagrams of the improved
construction, a designates the reflector, b the globe, and c the arc formed by the
two carbons.
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 :-
in
In electric arc lamps the arrangement of reflectors directly above the arc,
combination with glass globes which are open at the top and are smaller in diameter
than the said reflectors, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Screw Propellers.
We, GAVIN CHAPMAN, The Athenæum, Glasgow, Chemist, and JOHN MAC
LEAN FINLAYSON of 54 Miller Street, Glasgow, 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 :-
This invention which relates to improvements in screw propellers has for its
object to obviate or diminish slip and to obtain with an equal expenditure of energy
greater speed or propulsive effect or equal speed with a less expenditure of energy
than with screw propellers as hitherto made.
The improved propeller as constructed in accordance with our invention is shewn
in front elevation at Figure 1 and in side elevation at Figure 2 of the accompanying
drawings, Figure 3 being a detailed view of one of the blades. The propeller as
shewn is made with cight blades & though a lesser or greater number may be
employed each blade being at angle of about forty five degrees to the longitudinal
axis of the hub or boss e and having its sides radial from the centre of the
propeller. As seen by Figure 1 each blade d is of such breadth that in looking at
the propeller from either end the radial sides of any blade appear in line with
those of the next blades that is to say they do not overlap, but they may be of
such lesser breadth as to shew a space between their sides f. The outer edge g of
each blade is as shewn by Figure 3 curved to such an arc that if the propeller were
fitted within a tube of its own diameter the edge g notwithstanding the angularity
of the blade would at all points fit the interior of the cylinder. As seen by the
sections abc Figure 3 the blades are tapered in thickness from the boss to the
outer edge y and from side to side they are made bi-convex the outer edge y and
the sides being made as fine as practicable and they are preferably set on the
boss e nearer to its forward than its rearward end in order to leave as great space
as possible between them and the stern post 1.
With a propeller constructed as hereinbefore set forth it is found that less power
is required to obtain the same speed than with a propeller of equal diameter as
hitherto made and that slip is greatly diminished.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
A screw propeller constructed substantially as described with reference to the
drawings annexed.

Improvements in Carding Machines.
We RUDOLF BÖTTGER and OSWALD ZEUNERT of Leisnig, Saxony in the
Empire of Germany Manufacturers 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 carding machines it is often necessary in changing the wool to remove the
stripper and clearer to a certain distance from the main cylinder so that the wool
fibres may not suffer in the carding. Hitherto this operation was effected by
displacing the adjusting iron A. by means of nuts m² m² after having previously
loosened nuts m³ m' and m². Now by loosening the last mentioned nuts the
relative positions of stripper and clearer are changed as well so that repeated
adjusting becomes necessary in order to find again the exact original positions
of stripper and clearer and this adjustment is often deranged again by tightening
all nuts, thereby a great loss of time is caused (especially when it is taken into
consideration that there are sometimes as many as 12 rollers to each carding
machine hence 24 bearings to adjust) while at the same time no guarantee is given
for the exact readjusting of all the rollers.
According to our invention the shifting of the rollers is not effected by
displacing adjusting iron A but by raising the bearings in the hollow formed in
the adjusting iron to receive them.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing gives a front view and Fig. 2 a ground plan
of the arrangement employed according to our invention.
To both sides of adjusting iron a are fixed lists or ledges c the front list being
provided with a scale. On these lists or ledges rests a U shaped hoop or fork d
the wedge like sides of which force upwards as soon as the fork is pulled in an
outward direction by screws s.
Upon the front side of the fork is engraved a mark x to indicate the extent of
displacement on scale.
The adjustment is now accomplished as follows:-
The adjusting irons A of the carding machine are all placed in the lowest
position, so that all the clearers are at a suitable distance from the main cylinder t.
The adjustment which suits the condition of the shaft is determined by an
experiment, with one roller and with all the other rollers the forks d are shifted
an equal distance on the scale, or the screws s turned at equal angles whereby in a
few minutes a uniform adjustment of all the rollers is obtained.
When the contrivance is to be attached to existing carding machines lists or
ledges c may be replaced by bored pins and the scale engraved on the adjusting
iron.
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 adjusting contrivance for carding machines by means of which the bearings
can be adjusted in the adjusting iron A in combination with a scale substantially in
the manner as and for the purpose described.

Improvements in Screws.
We, CHARLES CARROLL HOLT, and THOMAS HALL, residing at Lawrence, in
the County of Essex and State of Massachusetts, United States of America,
Gentlemen, 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 relates to improvements in nails and screws.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive wood-
screw and nail adapted to be readily driven by a hammer, wrench, or screw-driver.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement
of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and
pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings :
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a wood-screw and nail constructed in accordance with.
this invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 are similar views showing different constructions of heads.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view.
Fig. 5 is an end view showing the triangular point.
Fig. 6 is a side view of the blank before twisting.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a wood-screw and nail
constructed of suitable metal and provided at one end with a head 2, which
may be either square or round, or have the form of the ordinary screw head, to
enable the nail and screw to be readily driven by a hammer, screw-driver or wrench.
The body of the screw and nail is provided with a round portion 3. The portion 4
is triangular or rectangular in cross section and is provided with a tapering triangular
or rectangular point 5 and is twisted between the point 5 and the round portion 3
to form threads 6. Each angular edge of the triangular portion 4 forms a thread,
and a triple-threaded screw is produced which is simple and inexpensive in con--
struction and adapted to enable the screw and nail to readily enter a substance.
The thread may be increased by making the portion 4 with slightly-concaved faces.
From the foregoing it will be readily seen that the screw or nail is simple and
inexpensive in construction and adapted to be readily driven in wood or other
substance by a hammer, wrench, or screw-driver.
I do not limit myself to making the portion 3 of the nail round or cylindrical, as
the salient feature of this invention resides in the construction of the portion 4 by
twisting an angular portion of metal, whereby either a triple or four bladed screw
is provided accordingly as a triangular or rectangular blade is used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A combined screw and nail comprising the head and the body composed of the
portions 3 and 4, the portion 3 being cylindrical and the portion 4 polygonal in.
cross section, and the tapering point 5 of the same shape as the portion 4, the
portion 4 and point 5 being provided with one continuous twist, substantially as.

We, CHARLES HJALMAR Huss, of 44 Charles Street, Cardiff, Ship Store
Merchant, and AUGUST VINER, of 17 Millicent Street. Cardiff, Launderer, 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 a composition for glazing linen collars, cuffs, shirt-fronts
and the like. By its use the linen is glazed without the employment of rollers
and consequently with reduced labour.
The glazing composition which constitutes this invention consists of a mixture or
compound of saltpetre, borax, glycerine and water. The saltpetre and borax are
dissolved together in the water, and the glycerine is subsequently added. A mixture
or compound of oz. of saltpetre, oz. of borax, dissolved together in 16 oz. of
water and having oz. of glycerine subsequently added to the solution gives a
glazing composition yielding good results in practice. These relative proportions,
or approximately these, are followed in larger and smaller volumes of the
composition.
The composition is applied to the linen after the latter has been washed and
ironed in the usual way. The composition is applied by sprinkling or by a cloth
which has been dipped in the composition, or by a sponge or other suitable medium.
The composition is applied to the article to be glazed until the latter is damp
therefrom. The linen is then again ironed and the effect is to convert the
composition into a stiff glaze which imparts a bright, clean finish to the articles
treated.
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
A composition or solution for glazing linen collars, cuffs, shirt-fronts and like or
analogous linen articles, the said composition consisting of saltpetre, borax,
glycerine and water in proportions approximately as hereinabove set forth and
applied as specified to the linen articles after they have been washed and ironed, the
final glazing finish being produced by again ironing after application of the
solution.

match boxes or drawers e, e protruding from the ends of one cover fare placed all
three parts being pierced by pins d', d' attached to the plate d. is a screw
having a head 9, the said screw being passed through the box f between the two
adjacent ends of the drawers e, e into a screw threaded hole in the standard a so as
to fix the drawers e, e and box f to the plate d and standard a.
The head 9 can as shewn in Figure 1 be provided with a bell i or with a lamp,
cigar receptacle, figures or the like and the standards a, b or a, c cau also have
any other construction than that shewn in the drawings without departing from
the principle of the invention.

According to this invention I either make with the bath or connect therewith a
lavatory basin inside the said bath just under the taps which supply the water so
that either the bath or the basin may be used separately.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will describe the
same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which

bath. The plate d may be formed with the basin call in one (as shewn) of
earthenware or other suitable material.
In Fig. 1. this is shewn fixed to the bath or the plate d. may simply rest on a
small projecting piece e, shewn dotted fixed round the foot of bath in which case
the whole basin can be removed when desired.

plate & hinged on so that it may be turned back out of the way when not required
for use.
In this case fix an arm g. to each side of plate d, which arms are hinged
at h, so that when the basin is turned back it escapes the taps . kare bracket
pieces fixed to plate d which rest on the edge of bath to take the strain off the
hinges when the basin is in use. The small basins are for soap &c.
.
I would remark in conclusion that I do not wish to confine myself to the
particular way shewn for combining the basin with the bath.

An Improved Explosive Compound.
A Communication from THE UNITED STATES SMOKELESS POWDER COMPANY,
of 575, Mission Street, San Francisco, California, one of the United States of
America, a Corporation under the Laws of the State of California.
I WILLIAM EDWARD GEDGE of No. 11 Wellington Street Strand, in the City
and County of London, Patent Agent, 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 an improved explosive compound.
It consists in the combination of certain substances in the manner and proportion
as hereinafter described.
In the preparation of this compound picrate of ammonia and nitrate of ammonia
are employed.
These materials may be mixed in any suitable or desired proportion to increase
or decrease the explosive force of the compound. One ounce of picrate of
ammonia, and one ounce of nitrate of ammonia will form a very quick and powerful
explosive, and the proportion may be changed by increasing the proportion of
nitrate of ammonia in varying quantities up to nine ounces of nitrate of ammonia to
one ounce of picrate of ammonia.
The picrate and the nitrate of ammonia are intimately mixed together in suitable
proportions, either by first grinding both the ingredients as fine as necessary, then
properly moistening and mixing them after being ground, or in any other suitable
manner.
If the compound is to be used for blasting purposes, a certain proportion of
nitro-glycerine is mixed with the ingredients heretofore described.
When the proportions are four ounces picrate of ammonia and six ounces nitrate
of ammonia, it has been found that six parts nitro-glycerine make a very effective
mixture. The nitro-glycerine is added after the picrate and nitrate of ammonia
have been mixed, and the mass agitated or stirred in any suitable manner. /
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, (communicated to me as aforesaid) and in what manner the same is to be
performed, I declare that what. I claim is :-
The compound consisting of picrate of ammonia, nitrate of ammonia and with
or without nitro-glycerine mixed in proportions substantially as described.
