CUM LEI DI MOL
Improved Apparatus for Facilitating the Unwinding of Skeins of
Yarn or the like.
I, ROBERT UNGER, Manufacturer of Breslau in the Kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire, 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 apparatus for facilitating the unwinding of yarn or the
like specially adapted for use in the household.
In the accompanying drawings fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, fig. 2 a plan, and
fig. 3 a transverse section of a machine constructed according to the present
invention.
The machine consists of two drums a and b provided with rods or bars c upon
which the yarn is placed in the manner indicated by dotted lines fig. 1 of the accom-
panying drawings. The drums a and b turn in frames d and e which are suitably
slotted at for the reception of the journals g. The frame d is provided with a
rod h while the frame e carries a dovetailed guide i wherein the rod slides and is
controlled by means of a button k so that the yarn may be stretched to the desired
degree. The skein of yarn is placed upon the drums a band wound in the ordinary
simple manner, and the distance between the two drums may be regulated at will by
means of the dovetailed guide and rod as aforesaid. This machine offers an
important advantage over such other similar machines as have hitherto been provided
with a longitudinal or transverse rod and which had to be moved closer together or
further apart by means of central rings connecting the inner ends of the different
bars or rods, as in this machine there are no movable bars or rods so that the said
machine is less liable to become broken or disarranged and all connections are easily
made..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A yarn winding machine for the household characterized by two drums arranged in
two frames or supports and the distance between which is adjustable by the displace-
ment of such frames or supports by means of a dovetailed guide i and rod h the same
being fixed in the desired position by means of a knob ka screw or other suitable
device substantially as described.

Improvements in Cartridge-cases.
I, EMIL HÜLLER, of 19 Hohenzollernring, in Cologne, in the Province of the
Rbine, 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 relates to cartridge-cases, and has for its object the production of the
ring-shaped conical body of metal, paper, pulp, or vegetable fibre, that is shifted over
the cylindrical inner tube, firmly in its place, in order to avoid any axial displacement.
In the cartridge-case represented by Fig. 1. the shell a itself with its bottom c and
flange e is made of one piece, according to a novel method. The improvement made
in that method now consists in providing the shell a near its open end with an annular
swell d against which rests the jacket of metal, paper pulp or vegetable fibre
encircling the shell a, as shown in Fig. 2.
Thus it is clear that said swell prevents the jacket 6 from axial displacement in the
direction to d. In consequence of pressing swell out of the substance of the tube
itself; no separate ring and no screws for fastening such ring are needed, thus the
full durability and resistance of the case is preserved, and cheapest manufacture made
possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is:
In cartridge-cases: The combination, with the shell a having the bottom c with
flange e at one end, of a collar or swell d at or near the other end, said collar
preventing the jacket & from slipping off, substantially as described.

We, HEINRICH LIPPACHER, AUGUST REINER and GEORG FRIEDRICH
DENNERLOHR, all of Mindelheim near the City of Munich, 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:-
This invention consists in an instrument or appliance for expeditiously removing
or erasing ink marks in writing and such like from paper or similar material
without undue injury to the surface thereof.
The improved eraser is made of steel (or of any metal suitable for the purpose)
and the configuration of the same is represented upon the annexed sheet of
drawings.
Fig. 1 is a view of the instrument lengthwise.
Fig. 2 is a cross section through the erasing part of the instrument.
The eraser is made as will be understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2, with
three sharp edges, being in section (as shown by Fig. 2) of an equilateral triangular
form or approximately so.
The three sharp edges of the part B are indicated by the letters C. D and E.
The handle A may be in one piece with the part B, or it may be made separately
and of different substance if preferred.
It is also evident that the sectional form of the part 13 may be other that shown
upon the drawings, though the form shown is preferable as it provides the edges
sufficiently sharp to remove the ink &c., without risk of cutting through or
damaging the paper.
An advantage possessed by this improved eraser, is that it requires practically no
care in manipulation and erasures may be made by it with great rapidity.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I hereby declare that
I claim

follows:-
The compressing permanganate of potash, alone or combined with other
material, into small consolidated blocks, to be hermetically sealed & ready for
use at any time. This method differs from that in ordinary use, in that a half-
inch cube, cylinder or other form of equal capacity, when placed in a pint of
water, becomes a highly concentrated disinfecting fluid, a teaspoonful of which
will render a large pailful of water sufficiently antiseptic for all ordinary dis-
infecting purposes. The advantages accruing from such a solid & compact form,
for easy and safe transmission, carriage, storage &c. over the usual large bottles
of fluid, with their risk of causing damage by breakage, leakage &c. and their
costly transit, is too obvious to need comment.

I, CHARLES HUELSER, of the firm of Huelser & Co., of Temple Chambers, in
the City of London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, a communication to me from abroad by Oskar Möller, of Hamburg,
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, 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 a material simplification in the construction of
ancroid barometers iessentially consisting in the transmission of the variations of
casing to the hand shaft by intermediacy of angle levers.
Reference being had to the drawing hereunto annexed,
Fig. 1 is a plan of the respective constituents,
Fig. 2 a side view, and
Fig. 3 a front view thereof.
A designates the known elastic metal casing, B the base plate of the instrument,
cc is a double arm operating as an angle lever, which is held so as to be revoluble
between the points . s, by the support or bracket D, on which is lodged the
known spindle e with spiral spring. The angle lever cc carries at its shorter
arm a roll or collar, with which said arm bears on the casing A, it being
depressed thereon by the action of spring f. To the longer arm of the angle
lever is attached the cord or chain o which is in direct connection with the
spindle e carrying the hand. This improved disposition, as may be seen,
renders it possible to impart the variations of casing direct to the spindle e by aid
of the angle lever c e', and, by forming the shorter arm into a screw, to regulate
at pleasure the length of the arm c in the one or other sense.
To allow the improved instrument to be adjusted for various heights, also the
support or bracket D is adjustable on the appurtenant block by means of the
outwardly accessible head screw k, a caoutchouc plate q being provided under the
tube P thus allowing screw to be tightened or loosened and consequently
the bracket to be approached to or removed from the casing A..
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.) An aneroid barometer with direct adjustable transmission of the variations
of casings to the hand spindle e by aid of a revoluble angle lever cc', the shorter
arm of which bears on the casing and is adjustable in length, while the longer
arm is in direct connection with the spindle by the chain or cord o substantially as
set forth.
2.) In the barometer arrangement forming the subject of Claim 1, the manner of
lodging the spindle e and the angle lever ce on one and the same support or
bracket D, the latter being adjustable relatively to the casing, for the purpose of
allowing the instrument to be arranged for various heights of the respective points
of observation, substantially as illustrated and described.

Improvements in Picking Mechanism for Looms.
I, SAMUEL TURNER, of 56 Reynolds Street, New Bedford, Massachussetts, United
States of America, Weaver, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN LOOMS FOR WEAVING 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 that part of the mechanism of a Loom which drives the
shuttle, and has for its object, to produce a mechanism for the same, which will be
more reliable and durable, by dispensing with the ordinary leather connections, which
require constant care and "fixing."
To this end, my invention consists in providing the lower end of the Picker-stick
with a fork, and mounting it, upon a rock-shaft, adapted to be actuated by a cam, on
the cam-shaft of the Loom.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 represents an end view of a Loom, having
my invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2, represents a side view of my invention, and showing a section of the
lay" and frame of the Loom.
Fig. 3, represents a plan view of the rock-shaft on which the Picker-stick is
mounted.
Similar letters, refer to similar parts in the several views.
a, represents the Picker-stick, having its lower end provided with the fork b.
h, represents the cam-shaft, on which, is secured the cam g.
c, represents the rock-shaft, journalled in the studs 1, 1, which are bolted to the

the Picker-stick a.
The mechanism is operated to throw the shuttle, by the face of the cam g, striking
and the Picker-stick is retracted by the spiral spring s.
the arm
e,
The degree of "throw" of the Picker-stick, is regulated by adjusting the cam g.
on the cam-shaft h, so that it will strike the arm e, either nearer to, or farther from
the rock-shaft c. It will be observed, that by journalling the Picker-stick on the
arms d, d, as shown, its top is allowed to moove freely with the reciprocating motion
of the "lay," in driving up the filling of the cloth.
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 a Loom, a picker-stick provided with a forked lower end,
pivoted to a rock-shaft adapted to receive motion froin a cam, on the cam-shaft of
the Loom; and means to retract the Picker-stick to its normal position, after the
shuttle is thrown, substantially as shown and described.

Improvements in Gear Wheels and in Cutters for use in the
Manufacture thereof.
I, CHARLES HENRY TRASK, of 44 Cherry Street in the City of Lynn, in the
County of Essex and State of Massachusetts, United States of America, 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 invention relates to gear wheels having at the inner end of each tooth-
receiving recess, a slight projection or extension something in the form of a rib
extending from side to side of the gear-wheel and forming a narrow seat against
which the ends of the teeth of the meshing wheel or pinion comes in contact, the
advantage of the seat being that it prevents the grinding of the end of each engaging
tooth upon a surface as large as the end of the tooth-receiving recess would present,
if the narrow seat were not employed; in other words, it reduces the friction.
For making gears of this form it is necessary to employ a gear cutter especially
shaped to cut or form the narrow rib or seat in the toothed recess, and my invention
relates both to the gear wheel and to the cutter for forming the teeth thereof.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the milling tool.
Figure 2 is a view in section of the tool and of a portion of the rim of a gear.
Figure 3 is a view in elevation of a complete gear-wheel.
In the drawings, A represents a gear-wheel, a its teeth, a¹ the tooth-receiving
recesses, and a² a narrow seat or rib at the inner end of each recess of each of the
gear-wheels. These seats are formed integral with the metal of the gear by means of
the milling tool B having working teeth of any suitable form, and also having in the
face of each tooth the inward curved or V-shaped recess (see Figure 2).
A tool having this recess will form in the gear blank as the teeth of the gear are
being milled a seating rib at the base of each pocket or tooth-receiving recess.
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 :-
First. An improved gear-wheel having at the end of each tooth pocket or recess a
seating rib or bead, as and for the purposes described.
Second. A gear wheel cutter for forming ribs or beads in the pockets or recesses of
a gear-wheel having the bead or seat forming recess in each of its cutting teeth, as
and for the purposes described.

An Improved Fastener for Glove and other Purses.
I, WILLIAM DAVIDSON WATSON, of the firm of Patrick Watson & Son,
No. 8, Justice Mill Lane, Aberdeen, in the County of Aberdeen, 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 :-
This invention relates to a simple and inexpensive fastener especially applicable
to the closing of purses formed in the palms of gloves, but applicable also to separate
purses of various forms and dimensions, as will be understood by reference to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 is an edge view of the fastener as it would
appear opened fully out.
Fig. 3 is an edge view of the fastener when closed.
Fig. 4 shews the application of the fastener to a glove purse which is shown as
being opened.
The fastener consists of two parts A and B both made of wire. The wire of A is
bent to form with a projecting ear C in the middle of the bend and with eyes EE
formed at each end. The wire of B is also bent to U form with a projecting ear D
at the middle of the bend this ear being bent over towards the plane of the U.
The two ends of the wire B are bent outwards to form pivots engaged in the
eyes E E. The forward bend of D is so arranged with respect to the outer end of
the ear C that when the two parts A and B are closed together as shewn in Fig. 3,
the ear D which can spring a little has to be pushed over C with a little force,
sufficient to keep these two parts from separating, unless equivalent force be applied
by the fingers to pull them apart.
As shewn in Fig. 4, the two parts A and B are sewn into the fabric or other
material forming a purse pocket provided in the palm of a glove, only the ears C
and D and the eyes and pivots E appearing. In like manner the fastener might be
sewn or otherwise attached to the leather or fabric of a separate purse.
By slightly opening the limbs of the one part A or closing in those of the other
part B, the two parts can be readily separated so that each can be conveniently
stitched to the material of the purse, and then the two parts can be sprung
together again.
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 fastener for a glove or other purse consisting of two wires A and B bent and
engaged together, substantially as described and illustrated by the drawings.

page_text: Improvements in Cheese Vats.
I, WILLIAM SNAYDON of Corscombe in the County of Dorset Farmer 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,
reference being also had to the accompanying drawing wherein
Figure 1 is a plan partly in section, and Figure 2 a vertical section of my improved
device.
My invention relates to vats used for pressing cheese and is applicable to those
of any dimensions.
In carrying my said Invention into practice I first construct a cylindrical body B
of any suitable material but preferably of tinned or galvanized iron as being lightest
and strongest. This cylinder is open alike at both ends which are strengthened at 6
and exactly correspond so that the body is reversible, the bottom A fitting into
either end.
The bottom A is made of wood, and is so constructed that about half its thickness,
on the upper part, fits up into the body B whilst the under part extends beyond and
supports it and may be provided with handles a for carrying the vat.
If the body be of metal the part of the bottom fitting into it is made sufficiently
small to guard against its swelling with the moisture of the cheese and becoming
jammed, as it would do if made to fit closely therein, and a disc of metal C accurately
fitting the body is provided to be used between the wood bottom A and the cheese D.
To allow the free escape of the whey (if the vat be of dimensions to require it) I
pierce holes c in this disc C at equal distance from the centre, and in the wood bottom
chase small circumferential grooves a¹ and radial grooves a² corresponding thereto
so that the boles c will discharge themselves over the grooves a¹ the radial grooves or
channels a² being cut from the circumferential grooves a¹ to the outer edge of the
bottom A to allow the whey to escape.
If the body B is of wood the part of the bottom A fitting into it may either be of
corresponding size with the interior, as in the case of a metal body, or it may be
made somewhat larger and a rabbet be formed in the body to receive it. In this case,
the intervening metal disc may be dispensed with.
By this contrivance, the operation of turning the cheeses may be effected without
their leaving the vat, as, by taking the bottom from one end and placing it in the
other and turning the vat up, the bottom becomes the top and vice versa.
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 vat composed of a moveable bottom of wood, constructed as herein described,
fitting into either end of a reversible cylindrical body of any suitable material, and
in connection (where required) with a close fitting metal disc provided with holes
corresponding to grooves chased in said bottom in manner herein set forth.

Improvements in Metallic Coverings for Electric Wires.
I, JOHN MACINTOSH MACKAY MUNRO, of 136 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, in
the County of Lanark, North Britain, Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In fitting insulated electric conductors where the insulation is protected by a
covering of lead or other metal it has been found a disadvantage that any electric
contact between the electric contact and its outer covering was at once communicated
to the whole length of the outer sheathing. To obviate this I disconnect the metal
sheathing at intervals into sections. Where the disconnections are made the conductor,
for a length of say half inch or so, is covered by the insulating material only and
no metal. This part is enclosed in a little wooden or earthenware box which may
be filled up with insulating material. This insulating appliance is specially
convenient when used at joints as it obviates the necessity of covering these joints
with metal.

Improvements in Butter Spoons and Rollers.
I, JAMES DUNLOP MITCHELL of 75 Hope Street Glasgow, Glassware 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 relates to spoons or rollers for cutting or dividing butter.
Butter spoons and rollers as made at present are of wood, which, from constant
use, is liable to become tainted and more or less blackened.
Under my invention the butter spoon or roller is made of glass or porcelain so that
it will be always clean and bright.
On the annexed drawing a form of butter spoon, by way of illustration, is
shown.
Fig. 1 is a front view and fig. 2 a side view.
The spoon a is made of glass porcelain or its equivalent and is as shown at b
(fig. 1) corrugated for a part of its length for the purpose of catching the butter.
In the case of a roller the corrugations are carried up the full length of the
body.
The spoon or roller is preferably formed in a mould of suitable construction to give
it the required shape and to form the corrugations.
The form of spoon shown, which is the same as that usually made of wood, may be
altered to suit different tastes and requirements if so desired.
The handle of the spoon or roller may be roughened or ribbed to give a better
holding surface or it may be covered with india-rubber for that purpose.
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) A butter spoon or roller made of glass substantially as hereinbefore described.
(2) A butter spoon or roller made of porcelain or its equivalent substantially as
hereinbefore described.

A Gulley-waste Receiver.
I FREDERICK REYNOLDS DOCKING 44 George Street Croydon Builder & Decorator
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The receiver is to bo able better to carry out the requirements of the Metropolitan
Bye Laws where it is necessarily required that every waste pipe from a lavatory or
sink should discharge 18 inches away before going into any trap, so that drains are
so formed in cement & brick which are continually breaking away & causing damage
to foundations of houses. The gulley waste is made either in iron, stone, earthenware,
cement, or of compositions in one piece having a fall to a square gulley at end with
side pieces. In many cases thore is not room to carry out the bye law owing to
insufficient room. The gulley waste receiver may be fixed on any outer wall & at
any height & is reversible for either hand & combines to receive stack pipe discharges.
The iron grating has a nib cast on in order to readily lift off. The whole of top is
covered with wire to prevent leaves or other matter getting in. The gulley can be
made to any size.

A. Gulley-waste Receiver.
FREDERICK REYNOLDS DOCKING 44 George Street Croydon Builder & Decorator
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 do away with the ordinary brick & cement (or half
drain pipe surrounded by bricks) channel laid to a gulley trap (the bye law providing
that a lavatory or sink waste &c. must discharge 18 inches away before entering the
gulley trap).
These brick channels being subject to settlements & destruction by frost or
otherwise, causes the waste water to escape before reaching the gulley trap. To
carry out my invention I make in one piece to any size in all its details, channel A &
gulley combined B to fit any trap at point C, or channel gulley & trap combined in
any material. The top is covered with a guard of wire D or other material (to prevent
leaves from falling in) either in one piece or more having drop pieces suspended
thereto to keep same in position. The gulley waste receiver can be made also with
channels running into gulley either 1, 2, 3 or 4 sides.
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.
That gullies or the like where waste-pipe-discharges are necessary to be distant
from a gulley or trap & requiring channel to same to be made in one piece.

Improvements in, or Additions to, Infants' Teats.
I, AARON SMITH CARTWRIGHT of Ford Street, Hockley, in the City of Birmingham,
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 relates to infants' teats, or blind nipples, and consists in combining
with a blind-teat or nipple, a whistle or call.
A blind-teat, is a rubber nipple, not used in connection with a feeding bottle, but
only employed as a substitute for a drawing-teat.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing, represents in side elevation, a combined
blind-teat and whistle, constructed and arranged according to my said invention.
Figure 2 represents a front elevation of the same; figure 3 is a longitudinal section
of figure 1, and figure 4 shows the said combined article, partly in elevation, and
partly in section.
Figure 5 represents the whistle separately, figure 6 the teat, and its shield, away
from the whistle, and figure 7 an end elevation of figure 5.
The same letters of reference, indicate corresponding parts in the several figures of
the drawing.
a is the teat, with an unpierced ripple end a²; and with an encircling shield b,
strung upon the neck a³, in manner, that the said shield admits of slight
displacement.
The open shank end of the teat, takes upon a collared connection c², at the back of
the whistle c.
The boundary edge of the open shank end of the nipple, is rolled, so as to take
within the groove c³, of the connection c².
The shape of the whistle may be varied, as may be desired, and the connection of
teat to whistle, may be made in other ways than described and represented.
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 [
claim is.
First: A combined infants' teat or nipple, and whistle, or a combined blind-teat,
and whistle, or call, as described and set forth.
Secondly-Connecting the teat or nipple, to the whistle of a combined teat or
nipple, by the open shank end of the teat, taking upon an annular collared end c², c³,
at the back of the whistle, as set forth.

page_text: by the foowing statement
My composition consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions
stated, viz.
Pure water
Common salt
Saltpetre
Ter gallons.
-
Five pounds.
One pound.
These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation and it is obvious
that their proportions may be varied without departing from the spirit of my
invention.
in using the said composition, I bring the ore to be subdued or disintegrated, to
a red heat, which desulphurizes and leaves it in an open or relaxed condition.
While the ore is still in the highly heated state it is immersed in the bath of my
composition, where it is allowed to remain until cool.
The salt and saltpetre acting upon the ore in its relaxed condition, effect a slacking
or disintegration thereof and render the separation materially easier.
After cooling and being treated in the bath, the ore is run through common
steel crushing rolls, whereby it is readily reduced to a powder, when it may
in this condition, without further treatment be carried to the smelter or settling
tubs.
By the employment of saltpetre in my composition I have a much more powerful
bath than otherwise, as the strong acid effect produced by the saltpetre enables me
to readily disintegrate the most refractory ores with but one heating, which if but
salt and water were used would necessitate several heatings and baths to properly
subdue them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The herein described composition of matter to be used for disintegrating or
subduing refractory ores, consisting of water, salt and saltpetre, in the proportions
specified.
2. The process of softening and subduing refractory ores, consisting in fusing or
bringing said ore to a red heat and then subjecting it to a bath composed of a solution
of salt, saltpetre and water, substantially as specified.
