A New Form of Spoonless Pot for Mustard or other Sauces.
I HENRY WILLIAM HANDCOCK 7 Endymion Road Finsbury Park, N.
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 :-
I provide for the fluid mustard a receptacle A (Fig. II) in the bottom of which
there is an orifice B. Down the interior of the receptacle I pass a rod C which
terminates at one end in a plug D which makes a liquid tight fit into the orifice B.
I prefer to make the rod C longer than the receptacle A, so that the other end of C
may be used as a handle wherewith to withdraw the plug D from the orifice B.
The rod C passes through the cover E of the receptacle A. Any materials
may be used that are suitable to come in contact with mustard, such as china,
glass or noncorrosive metals. In some cases I provide an outer vase F (Fig. I) to
receive the above described apparatus, in order to render the whole portable and
convenient for use. It is evident that in order to extract the mustard, it is only
necessary to raise the handle of C as in Fig. II.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
(1.) The container for mustard consisting of a vessel with a hole in the lower
portion, which hole is closed by a plug, so that when this plug is removed the
mustard flows out of the container.
(2.) A mustard pot substantially of the construction herein described.
(3.) A spoonless pot of the nature described contained in an outer vase.

An Improved Cook or Tap.
I, WILLIAM ROBERT DEACON, of 37, Chapel Street, East Stonehouse, in the
County of Devon, Grocer, 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 improved cock or tap in which this invention consiste, a ring, of india-
rubber, plumbago, or other suitable substance, is introduced into the tap and so
arranged that it bears, when the tap is closed, against a disc by means of which the
tap is opened and closed.
By the provision of the said ring, leakage of liquid or steam or air or gas when
the tap is closed is prevented.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, Fig. 1 represents in elevation,
and Fig. 2 in section, a cock or tap arranged and fitted in accordance with this
invention. At Fig. 2 the closing disc is shown in elevation.
Fitted in the seating a, which is grooved for its reception, is a ring 6 of india-
rubber, plumbago or other suitable substance. This ring b, when the tap is closed,
bears at the outer side against the closing disc c which is loosely pivotted on the
pin c secured to the upper flange of the body d of the tap. The disc c, a detached
view (plan) of which is shown at Fig. 3, when closed, slightly compresses the ring b
and thus prevents leakage. By a spring the disc bis caused to close, when so
permitted, after opening, but the spring is not essential.
In the example illustrated in the drawing the disc is closed after opening, by the
india-rubber band e extended from the stud f on the tap nozzle over the study
situated below the handle by which the disc c is pushed open. The band e is
stretched by the act of opening the tap and the disc closes when the band is allowed
to re-act.
The nose of the disc o acts as a stop to prevent the disc from being turned to
an undue distance on its pivot pin c¹.
At Fig. 4 is shown an inverted plan of the cock or tap; the nozzle and the disc c
having been removed.
The ring prevents leakage of liquid or steam or air or gas when the tap is closed.
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 cock or tap provided with a ring such as 6 of india-rubber, plumbago or other
suitable substance, situated to bear against and be compressed by a closing disc
such as c pivotted to one of the flanges of the tap or cock, or to the body thereof;
the said disc being preferably arranged to close by the action of a spring or elastic
band such as e, or the equivalent thereof, substantially as hereinbefore described
with reference to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings.

Improvements in Food for Horses and Cattle.
I, ALFRED NEUMANN of 84 Charlottenstrasse, Berlin in the German Empire,
Banker, 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 food for horses and cattle, its object
being to provide a food having wood meal or sawdust as its essential constituent, of
a more nutritive and assimilable character than similar foods at present in use.
Such foods as manufactured according to existing and known methods consist of
sawdust, salt, phosphoric acid, soda, and chloride of calcium. Recently there has
been added to these constituents, the residuary liquid from the distillation of ardent
spirits, or a mash made from potatoes and malt. Alternatively, there have been
added to the chloride of calcium or substituted therefor, phosphate of calcium and
sodium carbonate. Foods obtained by these processes are deficient in nutriment
an difficult of digestion. Its mass also is too compact and it is insufficiently, if at
all, fermented.
It has, on the other hand, been found as the result of many experiments, that
food manufactured according to this invention is very nutritious and easily
digested.
In manufacturing or producing my improved food, wood meal or sawdust is
mixed with rock salt, acidulated water, soda and phosphate of calcium. To these
ingredients there is added bran, meal, gelatine or the like, and fermentation is
produced by the addition of yeast. The "acidulated water" is preferably water
made just distinctly acid with hydrochloric acid.
وو
The product is an excellent food for cows, pigs and similar animals, and for
horses it may be pressed and baked.
Without thereby limiting myself to particular proportions and ingredients, or to
the precise processes, I may give the following as having produced good results in
practice.
1. Wood meal
Rock salt
Acidulated water
Bicarbonate of soda
Calcium phosphate
500 parts.

of bran yeast and the like for the purpose of producing fermentation, manufactured
or produced substantially as herein before described.

hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide simple means whereby nuts may be
securely applied to bolts and be prevented from becoming loose by vibration or
other causes.
By this invention, I make a hole diagonally through the nut and just cutting
through the periphery of the screwed aperture therein. When the nut is in place,
I drive a steel pin through the diagonal hole, and tangentially to the bolt. The
point of the pin is formed with a cutting edge which-when being driven in,-
cuts a flat surface on and at right-angles to the bolt, and prevents the nut
from turning.

Improved Commutator Brush.
I, RUDOLF KERSBERG, of Hohenlimburg, Westphalia, Prussia, 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 commutator brush which has the advantage.
over those hitherto employed of not retaining the dust caused through the working-
of the brush.
This result is effected according to my invention by forming the brush mainly
of spirals, which latter may either be twisted into one another or be placed side:
by side.
The accompanying drawings illustrate in elevation and in cross section two forms
of commutator brush constructed according to the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 is a cross section representing a brush composed
of several layers of spirals twisted one into another and forming a metallic.
weaving.
Fig. 3 is a plan and Fig. 4 is a cross section of one layer of the brush shown at.
Figs. 1 and 2 drawn to a larger scale.
The layers are laid one on the other and stitched or otherwise secured together
so as to form the body of a brush which enables the dust to be shaken off and to.
fall through the same.
Fig. 5 is a plan and Fig. 6 is a cross section representing a brush composed of
spirals placed loosely side by side, the spirals being enclosed within wire work or
metallic cloth.
Both forms of brushes give similarly good results.
Commutator brushes composed of spirals as hereinbefore described allow the-
dust to pass freely out of them and they are at the same time sufficiently stiff and
elastic to form a thorough contact with the commutator so that by reducing the
conductive resistance a favorable flow of the current is obtained.
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 commutator brush composed of inter-twisted or separate spirals with or
without an outer metallic weaving or the like, substantially as herein shown and
described.

Apparatus to Enable the Game of Golf to be Played on Lawns,
Carpets, and like Surfaces.
1, WILLIAM SPEIRS SIMPSON, of 49 Battersea Park Road, London Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My invention consists of a shallow coned disc having a flat or bevelled surface at
the top leading to a hole which is represented by Fig. A. in the drawing herewith,
and which can be used for playing the game of golf either on lawn, carpet or other
suitable surface where it is not desirable or expedient to create a hole for the
purpose.
Fig. B. shows a set of six of the said discs placed at intervals. When a game-
of golf is required all that is necessary is for the player to carry his discs to the
lawn or place selected (or he can of course play indoors upon a table or carpet).
and having suitably arranged his discs he can make use of the various clubs which
are used in the game of golf and play from one disc to another.
When the game
is finished he can collect the discs and return without having been compelled in any
way to injure the lawn by cutting holes whilst the discs can be utilised again and
will last a very long time without wearing out.
I prefer having a slightly bevelled surface to the discs at the top so as to allow
a ball which has reached the top to roll in ; but I also use a perfectly flat surface
on top of my disc.
A convenient form of using my improved discs is to have a set in a box with
balls, flags and putters complete, a picture of which is shown in Fig. C. This box
would provide a sufficient equipment for a game in a room or small lawn and when
a larger game was desired the regular golf clubs could be used with my discs.
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 improved disc or apparatus for enabling the game of golf to be played on.
lawns, carpets, and like surfaces without the necessity of making a hole substantially

Viaduct in the City of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to give an ornamental appearance to the face of
fancy leathers.
To this end, I take a piece of dyed leather, say morroco, and, when perfectly
dry, I subject it to the action of a grinding surface, by which means I grind away
the colour, or part of the colour, from the raised parts of the grain, producing a
speckled appearance.
I then subject the leather to a pressing action in any convenient manner, whereby
the raised parts of the morocco surface are pressed or smoothed down, giving to
the face of the leather a glazed, veiny, speckled appearance, which has a very
pleasing effect.

Improvements in the Treatment of Fancy Leather.
I, SIEGMUND HERMANN EPSTEIN, Leather Manufacturer, of 47 Holborn
Viaduct in the City of London, 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 the treatment of fancy leathers, more particularly
those which have a grain of more or less prominence, and the invention consists in
giving to the face of the leather an ornamental appearance, by removing portions
of the dyed surface, and then rolling it.
In carrying out this invention, I take the dyed prepared skin, when perfectly
dry, and subject it to the action of an emery wheel, or other suitable grinding
surface. In this way, I cut away portions of the dyed face, leaving, say, white
spots of more or less irregular form.
I then subject the skin to pressure between rollers, or in any other convenient
manner, which will smooth down the surface, giving a glazed face, which, together
with a speckled appearance produced by the grinding away of the surface, has a
very pleasing effect.
The effect will depend, to some extent, upon the original character of the skin;
thus, if the surface is of the morocco type, more or less minute portions of the
raised grain will be removed, and the appearance, in addition to being glazed and
speckled, will be veiny, after being treated as above described.

Improvements in Writing Pens or Nibs.
A communication from MAX HEYMANN, Merchant, of Burtscheid, Aachen, in the
Empire of Germany.
1, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
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 :-
The new writing-pen represented in the accompanying drawings possesses, as
compared with those hitherto in use, the advantage that it takes up a very much
greater quantity of ink whereby the great waste of time involved in frequent
dipping of the pen into the inkstand is materially diminished, and at the same time
a greater speed in writing is attained and greater durability in the pen; moreover
the risk of dropping blots from the pen is entirely done away with by this
invention.
This improvement in the pen consists in a tongue a (Fig. 3 and 6) which,
forming an integral part of the pen, lies parallel to the back of the pen at a little
distance therefrom, and extends nearly to its point. This tongue may be
constructed in one of two ways; it may either be stamped out of the sheet metal,
together with the body of the pen, as a projection from its upper end, as shown in
Fig. 1; or as is preferable, it may be stamped out of the upper part of the body
of the pen itself, which is inserted in the penholder, as shown in Fig. 4; in either
case, being bent forwards into the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and Figs. 5 and 6
respectively.
The ink is taken up and retained in greater quantity in the space between the
tongue and the back of the pen, by capillary attraction gradually flowing thence
during use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is ;-
In a writing-pen a tongue a formed in one piece with the pen and bent over
so as to lie parallel with the back of the pen at a short distance therefrom so
that the ink is taken up and retained between the tongue and the back of the pen
by capillary attraction.

Improvements in and relating to Ladies' Leather and Fur
Waistcoats.
I, ALFRED SAMUEL PHILLIPS, of 58 Regent Street, London, 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:
My invention relates to Improvements in and relating to Ladies' Leather and
Fur Waistcoats, and the objects of my invention are to make perfect fitting,
seamless, comfortable, leather and fur waistcoats, which shall under ordinary usage
retain their configuration and shall be free from the disadvantages of those
waistcoats having seams.
In carrying out my invention I use a skin which is ornamental on the face, or
which may be artificially rendered ornamental, or a fur such as astrachan, which
skin or fur I first stretch on a flat board or the like, the edges of said skin or fur
being nailed or otherwise fastened down. I next pare off, with a knife or suitable
tool, all the superfluous and thick parts of the back of said skin or fur, which skin
or fur I then soak by means of a sponge or otherwise with luke-warm water. The
skin or fur is allowed to remain for about an hour when it is again soaked with
luke-warm water as before; by this means said skin or fur becomes soft and pliable.
After having become sufficiently soft and pliable by this repeated soaking with
luke-warm water, I soak said skin or fur by means of a sponge or otherwise with
luke-warm water in which alum has been dissolved in the following proportions,
viz. an ounce of alum more or less to every quart of water. The skin is next
stretched on a wooden or other suitable block having a configuration of the bust
and waist as required by the lady who orders or purchases the waistcoat; said skin
or fur being manipulated and worked on the block until it has acquired the
necessary shape, the edges thereof being then fastened down in any suitable
manner, after which the skin or fur is allowed to remain on the block for any
necessary time preferably two days at least.
When said skin or fur is removed from the block, it will have acquired the shape
of the block and will retain same.
The front of said waistcoat is then suitably "dressed "_and _finished, and is

machine.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I

I, CHARLES MAKIN of Mount Pleasant, Batley, in the County of York, Coach
Builder, 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 in such a manner that
the stem or mouthpiece is not directly in communication with that part of the bowl
containing the tobacco, but the end of the said mouthpiece is in a separate chamber
formed underneath the tobacco bowl.
Such being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the accompanying
drawing illustrative thereof. The accompanying drawing is a sectional elevation
of my improved pipe. The bowl is formed into two compartments A and B the
upper compartment receives the tobacco and a plug C is placed in the bottom of
the bowl B, but the said plug is of such a size as to leave a chamber such as B.
The end of the mouth piece F enters the chamber B and not in the compartment
containing the tobacco as is usual. The partition or division part D is perforated
as shewn at E preferably as far away from the orifice of the mouth piece as is
convenient, consequently when a smoker is drawing up the stem F the smoke freely
enters as indicated by the arrows and a perfectly dry draught is received in the
mouth of the smoker, the nicotine lodging in the hollow formed in the plug C
which can be removed for cleaning purposes.
The chamber B may be filled if required with sponge, cotton wool, or other
fibre for the purpose of absorbing the nicotine and also for purifying and filtering
the smoke as it passes through the fibre or sponge.
By constructing a pipe according to my invention all the tobacco in the bowl can
be consumed, because it will not get damped by the nicotine lodging in the bottom
of the upper bowl, consequently in addition to ensuring a perfectly dry smoke there
will less waste of tobacco. The plug C may either be driven in tight, or screwed
in, according to quality of pipe sold, this also refers to the mouth piece whilst the
pipe may be of any suitable design or construction.
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 :-
-
Firstly. A tobacco pipe having two chambers A and B divided by a perforated
partition D substantially as shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Secondly. A tobacco pipe having two compartments, divided by a perforated
partition D, the upper compartment for containing tobacco, the lower compartment
for receiving the end of the stem or mouth piece, substantially as shewn and
described.

Improvements in Cases for Needles, Pins, Cigarettes, and other
Articles.
1, ERNEST JOHNSON of Globe Works Redditch in the County of Worcester
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object improvements in cases for needles pins cigarettes
and other articles by which I provide a simple neat and cheap case from which the
particular article can be readily withdrawn while at the same such cases are
practically water tight.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily understood
and more easily carried into practice I have appended hereunto a double sized
sheet of drawings upon which I have fully illustrated the nature of my said
improvements applied to a needle case and from which the application to cases for
containing other articles will be readily understood.
Figure 1 is a general view of a needle case shown open.
Figure 2 is a general view of the internal sliding case.
Figure 3 is a vertical cross section through Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a front elevation of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a vertical section through the case when closed.
In carrying my invention into effect I form an outer case or sheath A and also
an inner case B which is provided with the hinged flap b'. The inner case or
sheath is made to contain the articles such as needles Cand is inserted within the
outer case or sheath B, the small coiled spring F being arranged so that its end ƒ³
will press open the flaps the other end f¹ butting against the back of the case and
80 forcing it out as shown by Figure 1 when the inner case is drawn sufficiently
far out for the hinge to pass the top of the case. The edges of the sheath A are
turned over to form the slide for the inner case as shown by sectional plan in
Figure 6 and I may flute this and the inner case to fit such articles as cigarettes
while I may also make the case sufficiently wide to accomodate two rows of the
articles. It will be obvious that the cases may be made in any metal to suit the
various requirements to which they may be put.
For preventing the inner case from being totally withdrawn from the sheath I
may twine over a tongue b* for this purpose or the same result may be effected in
various ways.
Having now particularly described and ascertained. the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The improvements in cases for needles pins cigarettes and other articles
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the
accompanying drawings:
