Improvements in Life Buoys, Life-belts, Swimming Belts, and
the like.
I, LOUIS LAMBRECHT, Corneliusstrasse 11 Lankovitz in the Empire of
Germany, Secretary 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 refers to the manufacture of floating bodies such as life buoys,
lifts belts, swimming belts and the like for saving persons or for assistance in
swimming.
Such bodies possess the greatest force of pressure towards the surface of the
water, when the stuff of the wall is as thin as possible and the interior contains
only air, because the pressure is then as is well known about equal to the weight of
the water volume displaced, but such bodies are unreliable because the least injury
renders them altogether useless.
For this reason it is better to employ solid light bodies, especially cork bark, this
bark having a specific weight of 0.24. One kilogramme of cork has in consequence a
volume of = 4.17 litres which pressed under water causes a pressure towards
0.24
1
-
the surface of 4.17 0.24 3.93 kilogrammes. Also reindeer hair is used for such
floating bodies, which hair has a specific weight of 0.1 so that one kilogramme has
a volume of 10 litres, giving in consequence a pressure of 10-01 = 9.9 kilo-
grammes. Also cork carbon has been recommended, but this costs too high a
price.
A very suitable substance is plant pith chiefly that of sunflower stalks
(Helianthus) the specific weight of which is 0.035 so that one kilogramme of this
material has a volume of = 28.5 litres giving thus a pressure of 28.465 kilo-
grammes.

0.035
This cheap material, sewed in cloth, can be used for such floats of various kinds,
and possible injury of the covering envelope will cause hardly any detraction from
the floating capacity for the first 24 hours.
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 :-
Floating bodies made by connecting together pieces of plant pith especially of the
sunflower plant (Helianthus) or by filling or stuffing (sheathing) bags floats or the
like with the pieces of plant pith.

Improved Journal, Periodical, or like Publication
I, JULIUS LITTEN, of No 6 Lutzowstrasse in the City of Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, Newspaper Editor, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion and in whit manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
ind ascertained in and by the following statement
This invention relates to a journal, periodical or like publication which is
composed entirely of order slips Such Journal may either appear as an
independent publication or may be attached, as supplement, to other journals,
periodicals or newspapers of all kinds at present in circulation
The object of the invention is to enable firms and business houses of all
descriptions that send circulars to their customers and advertise on a large scale, to
more easily come into connection with their customers and to provide such of the
latter as are not in the habit of writing letters with a ready and casy means of
communicating their orders The great advantage offered by this order-journal
to business people advertising in same is that their advertisements are brought
duectly to the notice of all interested parties, who are likely to avail themselves
of this ready means of placing their orders, seeing that the order-journal may be
annexed to all journals, periodicals, trade publications etc, specially devoted to the
various branches of industry or trade
As seen from the accompanying drawing, the leaves or sheets of the order-
Journal are composed of a number of slips or stubs b, which may be readily
detached, torn or cut out at the perforations or lines a These slips may bo
printed either on one or both sides, but, when the paper is sufficiently strong and
thick, it is preferable to use one side for the advertisement or order form and the
other for the printed name and address of the advertiser Any person therefolie
desirous of ordering whatever is offered on the slips, simply indicates on such slip
what he requires, detaches same from the order-journal, affixes a postage stamp
ind forwards same per post like an ordinary post-card
It will be evident that the order-Journal may be used for every industry or
branch of business of whatever nature, that the shape or size of the separate slips
and the print or the paper used may be varied as desired and, finally, that the
order-journal may be issued as a separate and independent publication or as
upplement to existing journals and the like
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
Lion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I

-
An order-journal composed of slips or order notes (b) printed on one or both sides
and detachable at perforations or lines (a) substantially as described and shown in

I, EMIL UBRIG, of Ahorn Allee 11, Westend by Berlin, 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:-
Heretofore when it has been desired to impart mechanical properties to soaps in
addition to their chemical properties, it has been usual to add to the soaps, mineral
substances such for instance as pumice stone, kieselguhr &c., which have however
been found to be more or less unsatisfactory.
According to my present invention, instead of adding mineral substances to the
soap, I employ for this purpose substances of vegetable origin which substances
unite much more intimately with the chemical constituents of the soap, and are so
to speak thoroughly impregnated or saturated therewith, and consequently can act
much more effectually and permanently when the soap is used.
These additions may consist according to the object to be fulfilled by the soap,
for example of wood millings, sawdust or ground wood and the like. They provide
medical men with valuable aids in treating the various skin diseases, according to
the properties and medicinal value of the several kinds of plants employed. They
act with a frictional and massage like effect, and thus constitute a hygienic washing
agent which has heretofore been wanting in the household.
Furthermore this process provides a soap which acts with excellent effect for
cleansing the skin in manufacturing operations, where workmen have to deal with
adhesive and other substances injurious to health, and the thorough removal of
which is necessary.
Moreover, this soap acts as an excellent means for washing linen, clothes &c.
When disintegrated or comminuted to a great or very extreme degree of fineness,
this mixture can be employed in the manufacture of fine toilet soaps and
dentrifices.
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 manufacture of soap by the admixture with the soap material of vegetable
fibres, such for instance as sawdust, wood flour, ground wood and the like, for the
purpose of producing a frictional action upon and most thorough cleansing of the
surfaces treated with this soap, substantially as described.

Improvements in Gas Retorts.
1, ALPHONSE GUÉGUEN, of Rue Notre Dame de Lorette 9, Paris, 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 :-
This invention has for its object improvements in gas retorts.
This improvement consists in a novel arrangement whereby the thickness of
earthenware retorts may be considerably decreased thus improving the transmission
of heat to the bodies contained therein whilst they still retain sufficient strength.
It has already been proposed with a view of more completely utilizing the heat,
to increase the heating surface, and for this purpose undulating retorts have been
proposed.
According to my invention I make the retorts with very thin walls, to which the
required strength is given by means of ribs or wings placed on the outside of the
retort.
The annexed drawings represents a retort with ribs in accordance with this
invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the retort. Figure 2 is a plan. Figure 3 is a
section on the lines 1-1 Figure 4. Figure 4 is a section on the lines 2-2
Figure 2.
A is the retort and a a the wings.
These wings are projections moulded with the body of the retort or formed by
cutting away the wall of the retort; they may be arranged in any suitable manner
either parallel to the axis of the retort but preferably obliquely in such a manner
as to form helicoidal ribs upon the curved portions, thus forming strengthening
supports in the direction in which the retorts have most chance of breaking.
These ribs should be so arranged as to cause the ashes to fall to the front of the
furnaces.
The ribs may be of any size, and may be placed at any suitable distance apart,
they may also be of different sizes and slope in different directions upon the same
retort.
In each case these conditions are determined by the dimensions of the retort, the
nature of the earthenware employed taking into account the necessity of allowing
the maximum heat to pass into the interior of the retort.
I may also form retorts with wings placed partly outside and partly inside.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I do not limit myself to the
exact details of carrying out the invention but what I claim is :-
A retort provided on the outside or on the outside and inside with strengthening
ribs substantially as described and shewn in the annexed drawings.

Improvements in Blasting Compounds.
I, SILAS REYNOLDS DIVINE, of Loch Sheldrake, Sullivan County, State of
New York, United States of America, 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 :-
This invention consists in a blasting compound composed of nitrate of lead and a
nitrated hydrocarbon of the benzol series, which is of itself non-explosive, such as
dinitro-benzol.
The desirable proportions of the ingredients, to produce the best dynamic effects,
are four (4) parts of nitrate of lead and one (1) part of the nitrated hydrocarbon
of the benzol series, preferably the dinitro-benzol of commerce.
To make the compound, the dinitro-benzol may be melted and the nitrate of lead,
finely powdered, mixed with the melted benzol; the mixed ingredients being then
allowed to cool and congeal, whereupon the cold mass may be broken and ground
into a granular powder.
Other nitrated hydrocarbons of the benzol series, which are of themselves
non-explosive, may be used instead of dinitro-benzol; such as the higher nitrated
compounds of naphthaline, as, for example, tetranitro-naphthaline, or picric acid
which has been de-sensitized by admixture with an inert material, such as a hydro-
carbon, or mixtures of other nitrated hydro-carbons of the benzol series of the
character of dinitro-benzol.
The proportions of the ingredients may be varied somewhat from those herein
stated, and still produce a blasting compound of efficiency.
A detonating cap, such as is usually employed in blasting operations, will explode
the compound.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A blasting-compound composed of nitrate of lead and a nitrated hydrocarbon of
the benzol series which is of itself non-explosive, such, for example, as dinitro-
benzol, as specified.

page_text: Manufacture of Sulphuretted Colouring Matters Dyeing
Non-mordanted Fibres.
I, JOHN IMRAY of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County
of London, Consulting Engineer, and Chartered 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 :-
In the Specifications No. 23578 of 1893 and No. 3414 of 1895 I have described,
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents, the manufacture of colouring
matters dyeing non-mordanted vegetable fibres, by causing sulphur in presence or
not of alkalies to react on substituted aromatic amines or acetylated aromatic
diamines.
•
My correspondents have found that important new colouring matters can be
obtained, by starting not as in the Specification No. 23578 of 1893, with paradiamine,
but with meta-diamine of the benzene series, on which sulphur is made to react
in presence or not of alkalies.
The substances used are meta-cresylene diamine, meta-xylene diamine or substances
capable of producing them by reduction with sodium sulphide, such as p-meta-o-
toluidine, ortho-meta-para-toluidine, nitro-meta-xylidine or dinitro-toluol.
The colouring matters thus obtained dye non-mordanted vegetable fibres with
brown red or brown yellow tints, remarkable for fastness against washing or
atmospheric action.
EXAMPLE I.
For five hours there are heated to 225° to 250° C. 100 kilos. of meta-chresylene-
diamine and 250 kilos. of sulphur. The product thus obtained is insoluble in
water, so that in order to render it available for use it must have sulphide added.
It dyes non-mordanted vegetable fibres with tints similar to those dyed by the
product of Example I.
For four or five hours there are heated to 200° to 240° C. 100 kilos. of o-nitro-p-
toluidine, 200 kilos. of sulphur and 500 kilos. of sodium sulphide. The colouring
matter thus obtained combines the properties of those produced according to
Examples I and II.
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 :-
=
1. The herein described manufacture of sulphuretted colouring matters by causing

page_text: sulphur or sulphur along with alkaline sulphides to react on the substituted.
meta-diamines of the benzene series or the corresponding nitramines.
2. The colouring matters produced as above set forth.

.
I, SOLOMON KONSKI, of 4 Argyll Street, London, W. Tailor, 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 place of the elastic band generally used upon the inside of a riding habit, to
support the rider's foot, I employ a strip or band of thin spring steel or suitable
material made into the form of a ring with two overlapping ends capable of opening
or closing upon the application of slight pressure with the foot.
The aforesaid strip or band should be covered with velvet or other soft fabric,
and provided with a spring of sufficient strength to keep it securely closed when
in use.
This arrangement may also be used to serve as a stirrup, in this case being
attached to the saddle and of somewhat greater strength.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention.
The band a is made in two parts with overlapping ends at b and a spring c at the
top part.
It is preferably of thin spring steel and remains firmly closed so long as the rider
is in the saddle, but when alighting it is easily opened by slight pressure of the foot,
so that there is no risk of accident or injury through catching the foot in the band
or stirrup as at present.
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 Improvement in Boiler Furnaces.
I, OTTO FRIEDERICI, of No. 58 Lombard Street, in the City of London,.
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In my Specification No. 9732 of 1894 I have described certain improvements in
boiler furnaces having perforated fire beds and chambers underneath them supplied
with air forced in by the injector action of superheated steam. For superheating
the steam I have described an arched pipe placed just within the fire flue, the-
steam being passed through this pipe and becoming superheated on its way to the
injector nozzles below.
According to my present invention I drill through the rear side of this pipe a
number of small holes by which fine jets of steam issue in a direction parallel or
nearly so to the sides and crown of the fire flue. The effect of these jets is to-
prevent evolution of smoke especially when fresh fuel is fed to the fire.

A Cuff Protector.
I, Alfred CHRISTIE SMART, of No. 2 Alma Terrace, Allen Street, Kensington,.
in the County of London, Artist, 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 an appliance for protecting linen cuffs from soiling, this
protecting appliance being made of paper or fabric as I shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawing which is a view of a protector according to my invention.
It consists of a piece A of comparatively stiff paper or fabric to which is
attached two pieces B preferably of less stiff material. The parts A B B might
however be made all in one piece folded along the line C so that, on the part A
being placed on the outside of the cuff and bent round it, the parts B B can be
folded inside the cuff as indicated by the dotted lines, the slit E between the
parts B B facilitating their bending and folding inwards. All the parts A and B B
have end notches D allowing space for the studs or other fastenings of the cuff.
The protector is held on by books H H which engage with the ends of the cuff.
One of them is attached to the protector by a piece of elastic, and this, instead of
being fixed to the protector, might be a separate piece with hook to engage an eye
of the protector.

To obviate the bursting of water pipes through the action of frost, I insert inside
such pipes a tube or pipe of smaller diameter through which hot air or hot water
is forced or conveyed. The tube or pipe aforesaid may be in the centre of the
water pipe or in any convenient position therein, and it may be of circular or any
other form in section. By this means the water passing through the pipes in frosty
weather may be kept at a sufficiently high temperature to prevent freezing, and
risk of the pipes bursting is thereby avoided.

An Adjustable and Flexible Fastener for Skirt and Bodice Bands.

An Adjustable and Flexible Fastener for Skirt and Bodice Bands.
I JAMES REGINALD CHURCHILL, Engineer, of Hathersage Derbyshire 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 fastener for skirt, bodice and like bands, and has for
its object the flexibility, adjustability and ready attachment of the same.
The two parts of the fastener constructed according to my invention are shown
in plan at Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings-these two parts being.
shown in plan, at Fig. 3, in one of their relative positions when in actual use.
The part shown at Fig..1 is formed out of a stamped piece of metal-the bars a,.
which provide the means of adjustment, being preferably raised (as indicated by-
the shading) to accommodate the depressed hook portion, b, of the part shown at
Fig. 2.
I do not, however, confine myself to any particular elevation and depression of
these portions, or to the form of hook shown at Fig. 2, in place of which, any
ordinary hook may be used. The hook part is stamped out of sheet metal.
In addition to making one hook portion b, to the part shown at Fig. 2, I make
two, three or more hook portions b, b, Fig. 4.
By this formation, the part shown at Fig. 4 may be caused to engage in more
than one bar of the part shown at Fig. 1 and so the skirt or bodice is held the
more firmly in a good position for the appearance of the dress and the comfort of.
the wearer.
It will thus be seen that either part or both parts can be made adjustable-
according to this invention.
The flexibility I secure by having the metal thin and of so small a section.
on such a line as x, y, Figs. 1 and 2, that it offers no resistance to bending.
The holes c, Figs. 1 and 2, so placed as not to weaken either part, and substantially-
in the positions shown, provide the means for ready attachment to the fabric, which
provision is an important feature of my invention.
Figs. 5 & 6 are modified forms.
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 flexible and adjustable fastener, having provision for attachment sub-
stantially as described with reference to and shown at the accompanying
drawings.
Dated this 20th day of December 1895.
