John Jules Him Manufacturer and Alexandre Jacqui Surgeon Dentist both of
Brussels, in the Kingdom of Belgium) 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 simply in the application of a well-known phenomenon
of nature to a tinder-box for the purpose. of obtaining fire, in other words, the
practical application of the principal of producing a spark by the compression of
air. For this purpose I make use of a hollow cylinder and a piston supplied with
a wick.
.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of the
complete apparatus, the piston being withdrawn. Figure 2 shows a front view of
the same, the piston being represented by dots in the position it occupies when the
air is compressed, and the spark produced. Figure 3 shows a transversal section
following F, G. A is the hollow cylinder closed at one end. B is the piston
supplied with a wick: it consists of a hollow cylinder, one of the ends being
wormed inside, and provided with a washer made of leather or other substance
preventing the escape of the air.
C is the pusher of the piston.
D is the wick; it may be of tinder, cotton or other inflammable matter.
E is the catch to keep the wick in its place; it may be replaced by any other
system whatever.
H is the screw of the pusher, and is screwed on to the wormed part of the
piston B. It serves the purpose of regulating the wick. The apparatus which
may be made of cast-iron, brass, copper or any other material sufficiently hard and
resisting is worked by withdrawing completely the piston B. The tube A gets
filled with air; the piston B is pushed sharply into the cylinder A as in Figure 1
till it occupies the position shown in Figure 2 and the spark is produced by the
compression of the air contained in A.

page_text: The piston B is then entirely and very sharply withdrawn and the wick D
comes in contact with the atmospheric air and is set on fire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention 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,
1. The application to a tinder-box for the purpose of producing fire of the spark,
obtained by the compression of air.
2. A tinder-box consisting of a tube such as A in which a piston B supplied with
a wick D works, fire being communicated to the said wick by means of a spark

as follows:
'
The Invention consists in applying protoxide of zinc as an addition to an agitating
or exciting mass for dry-elements such mass composed of exciting salts and plaster
powder.
The protoxide of zinc must be thoroughly mixed with the plaster and the salts
before the mixture is tempered with water. The effect of this addition is that. the
heavy and hard mass will be loosened or broken up. The great porosity thus obtained
facilitates essentially the interchange of the gas and will diminish the polarisation of
the electrodes.
The inner resistance of the elements will not be raised by the addition of protoxide
of zinc as the latter is a better conductor of electricity than plaster and other bodies
having a less porous character.

knife for the purpose of cutting sole leather for boots from the butts into ranges of a
shape whereby the toes of one range shall cut or fit into the heels of the ranges above
and below it whereby a minimum amount of waste will be caused.
In the accompanying drawing figure 1 represents an elevation, figure 2 a plan, and
figure a section of a sole ranging or scolloping knife constructed according to our
invention, and figure 4 is a diagram shewing a portion of a "butt" the full lines
illustrating how a butt will be cut into ranges by the use of our improved knife, and
the dotted lines illustrating how the soles are cut from the said ranges.
In practice the knife is obviously fixed in a suitable machine so as to give the knife
a vertical up and down motion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
The improved sole ranging knife hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.

page_text: I, ALFRED SAVILL TOMKINS, of Holmwood, Caterham-in the County of Surrey,
Captain in the Victoria Rifles, 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 construction of cooking stove for use by soldiers or
travellers, so arranged as to give great accommodation for cooking utensils when
in use, and to be capable of being packed up in compact form for transport. The
stove may be used either in the open, or in a cooking hut or tent or on a waggon.
I will describe the construction, referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 is a front view, Fig. 3 is a section, and Fig. 4 is a
perspective shewing how the parts are packed for transport. A, B, C and D are
four ovens, two of them such as A and B a little larger than the other two C and D,
so that the smaller of each pair can be packed for transport within the larger. For
use, these four ovens are held together by a fire grate E having studs projecting
into each oven with cross pins, and also by a frame F above, this frame having
dowel pins projecting into each oven. The angle spaces G, H, I, K receive fuel
boxes, or one or two of them such as G and I may be boilers. Above the ovens is
placed a hot plate L on which are placed boilers M or other cooking utensils, these
boilers being of such size that each can be packed within one of the smaller ovens.
The fire made upon the grate E occupies the central space, heating the ovens around
it and the boilers or other cooking utensils placed on the hot plate above. In order
to give convenience in using the stove in a cooking hut or on a waggon I prefer to
provide under each oven a Banged roller R to run on a circular rail S, as thereby
the stove can be turned round so as to present any of its sides for opening. It is
also of advantage to provide over the stove a hood T and chimney U to carry off
smoke and effluvia. When the stove is made to turn round on the rail S, one side
of the hood T may be extended down to the floor, so as to form a fence against the
fire and heat, this being especially advantageous when the stove is placed on the
floor of a waggon.

page_text: 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
1. The construction of field stove, consisting of four ovens surrounding a central
fire with hot plate above, and four fuel boxes or boilers fitted in the angle spaces
between the ovens, substantially as described with reference to the drawings.
2. Mounting a stove such as is referred to in the preceding claim on rollers to
run on a circular rail substantially as and for the purpose herein set fortb.
