I RICHARD GLOVER of 57 Romford Road Stratford Essex, E., Veterinary Surgeon
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
An Improvement in Dog-biscuits consists of the introduction into biscuits intended
to be eaten by dogs of arsenic or salts or mixtures containing it.

page_text: 1. RICHARD GLOVER of 57 Romford Road Stratford Veterinary Surgeon 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 has for its object to provide a dog biscuit which is useful as a food
in cases where the animals are out of condition it being especially fitted as a remedy
in cases of Eczema. According to my Invention I employ arsenic as an ingredient
of the biscuits. Whilst not limiting myself to the precise details hereinafter stated
I give the following as the best means with which I am acquainted for carrying my
Invention into effect. To every quarter of a pint of water (which is the quantity
generally employed for each pound of biscuits) I add about six minims of liquor
arsenicalis or Fowler's solution of arsenic (prepared however by preference without
any colouring or flavouring ingredient) I mix this thoroughly with the water by
stirring and then I thoroughly incorporate the liquid mixture with the other
ingredients of which the biscuits are to be made. These ingredients may be the
various ingredients usually employed in making what are known as Spratt's dog
biscuits but I do not limit myself to those ingredients. I make the compound into
cakes or biscuits and bake them in the customary or any convenient manner. Other
preparations of arsenic may be substituted for the " Liquor arsenicalis" and the
quantity of arsenic introduced may be varied but I believe that what I have given
is the best proportion.
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
1st. In the manufacture of dog biscuits the introduction of arsenic into the ordinary
or selected ingredients thereof substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described.
2nd. As an article of manufacture a dog biscuit with which has been incorporated
arsenic.

page_text: 1 SIDNEY WATERS, of the firm of Waters and Son, of 33 Eastcheap, in the City
of London, Merchants, 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 tonic bitters and consists in the incorporation of an
extract of the coca leaf with substances such as are generally used in the
manufacture of bitters, whereby I obtain what may be termed coca bitters.
The manner in which I prefer to carry out the invention is as follows:-I take as
the body of the liquid to be manufactured any suitable wine such as orange, raisin
or other British wines, or sherry, nalaga, hock or other foreign wines, and I mix
therewith such quantities of quinine, cinchona, quinidine or other alkaloid or
alkaloids having bitter properties, as will give to the wine the degree of bitterness
required, and such an amount of extract of coca leaves as will impart to the wine
the desired strength of this ingredient. Or, instead of an extract of coca leaves
I may introduce coca leaves themselves either whole, bruised or triturated, but I do
not recommend their employment in this manner because it is difficult to extract
the properties therefrom without heating the mixture and this would injure
the wine.
I allow the mixture to stand for a considerable time, stirring it repeatedly and
I afterwards clarify it by means of isinglass or other finings.
In order to complete the solution of the various ingredients I may, before fining,
add a small quantity of sulphuric, citric or other suitable acid.
Instead of taking a wine as the body of the liquid with which to mix the coca
extract and the bitter alkaloid or alkaloids, I may simply incorporate the coca
extract with the bitter alkaloid or alkaloids so as to make a mixture suitable for
admixture with wine or other liquid when required.

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 manufacture of what I have termed coca bitters by the incorporation of
an extract of the coca leaf with substances such as are generally used in the
manufacture of bitters, as set forth.
2. A beverage or liquor consisting of a wine with which are mixed extract of
coca leaf and a bitter alkaloid or alkaloids as herein before described.

Improvements in Steam Engine Slide Valves
Year: 1886

page_text: I, CHARLES H. BAKER of Meadville, in the County of Crawford and State of
Pensylvania, United States of America 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 certain new and useful Improvements in Steam Engine
Slide Valves, of which the following is a full, clear and exact description, such as
will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the
same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and
figures marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The general object of the invention is to improve the valve action in high
pressure steam engines where the slide valve has a weight of several hundred
pounds, a great friction on the valve seat, and a consequent loss of power as well
as a waste of fuel.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section through the valve, valve chest and cylinder on
line yy Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section on the line of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail view of valve in elevation. Fig. 4 is a part sectional plan of
valve on lines -z of Figs. 2. & 3. Fig. 5 is a part sectional detail view of valve
in elevation.
In the drawings A represents the engine cylinder; B the valve chest; C the
valve seat, D, my improved valve and E the valve piston which may be affixed to
the valve D, either by passing it through the two opposite sides d² of the valve D
with a nut e or in any other suitable way. This valve is made with the opposite
parallel vertical sides dd, and these sides with outward borizontal flanges d¹ d¹.
I support these flanges upon the upper part of the friction rollers F. F, using one,
two or more pairs, made of steel or other suitable metal. I may also face with
steel the under side of flanges d', the bottom face of valve D, the upper face of
Beat C and the bottom of the guide grooves bb, in which run the wheels F F.
I thus obtain rolling instead of sliding friction, as the weight of valve is carried
on the rolls, while the bottom of valve D fits snugly and evenly upon the seat C.
This greatly lessens the power required to actuate the valve.
It will be observed that the wheels F, tightly keyed or otherwise fixed to the
spindles e run in grooves or slots e¹ formed in the sides d of the valve D in such
a manner that they may turn freely and move longitudinally in the said slots e¹.

page_text: When the valve D has made the first stroke the wheels F move from any position
in which they may be and take up the position shewn in Fig. 1 and are then
ready to continue the to and fro motion of the valve D.
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
The combination, with a steam engine slide valve, of one or more pairs of
supporting rolls running in guide grooves b, fastened to spindles e and running in
grooves or slots e¹ in the sides d of the valve D.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SCARFS FOR NECK WEAR
Year: 1886

page_text: We JONATHAN SMALE and WILLIAM SMALE both of Bollin Mills Macclesfield in
the County of Cheshire Silk Manufacturers (Trading as J. Smale & Brs. do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
SCARFS FOR NECK WEAR and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
We propose to manufacture scarfs by weaving two different materials at the
same time and in one body or warp in such a manner that a sufficient width in
the centre of the scarf shall be made of silk or silk mixture so as to form the outer
and front part of the scarf when folded and the remaining width at the sides or
edges of the scarf shall be made of cotton or other material less costly and thicker
than silk so that when folded it will form the back inside or lining of the scarf &.
give a substance such as is effected by the method at present used of inserting a
lining of wool or other fabric the scarfs may be finished by stitching or sewing to
make them firmer.
In order to explain our invention as completely as possible we now proceed to
give the method of manufacture.
We should put in the loom a warp of silk or silk mixture of the width required
to produce the portion in the centre of scarf to form the front or outer part of scarf
when folded or made up we should also put in at the same time a warp of cotton
on other material with an affinity for and less costly than Silk of the width
required to produce the portion at the sides or edges of scarf to form the lining or
backing of scarf when made up or folded. By our arrangement of gears or
harnesses and jacquard machines or tappets and known to most pratical men we
should be enabled to weave two distinct qualities of cloth of the width required
for the purpose of a scarf upon the same warp and at one time.
We should make one or more scarfs in width at the same time.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we would remark in
conclusion that we do not limit ourselves to the precise details we have expressed
as the same may possibly be modified or varied without in any way departing
from the principal of our invention we declare what we claim is a great improve-
ment in the manufacture of scarfs for neck wear.
First. It is greatly in the interest of economy.
Second. It gives the scarf much greater firmness and prevents the scarf slipping
when worn owing to one portion being made of a different material than silk.

PROTECTING BACK QUARTERS OF BOOTS & SHOES
Year: 1886

page_text: "
"
MARY JANE MARTIN and BENJN MARTIN trading as Boot Manufacturers at
St Gregory's Church Alley in the city of Norwich in the county of Norfolk do
hereby declare the nature of their invention for PROTECTING BACK QUARTERS
OF BOOTS & SHOES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"Struck" or "rolled " leather, is affixed to the outside of boot and shoe back
quarters.
This invention relates to that class of heel protectors, which are stitched on to
the back quarters of boot and shoe uppers, and it consists of a novel application
of struck or rolled leather, finished to represent the usual softer and less wear
resisting back golosh made from ordinary dressed leather, the object being to
produce a more effective and otherwise desirable article of this character than is
now in ordinary use.
The nature of the improvement is as follows:-The shape of the protector is
that in general use, as a back golosh, or it may be altered to taste or fancy-It is
affixed by machine twist, waxthread or usual method of the trade, to the outside
of the back quarters.
It removes the necessity for using ordinary leather or compo. stiffeners thereby
economising the wear of the stockings: and insures a firm support to the wearer.
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 :
A protector for the seats of heels and back quarters of boots and shoes, made
from struck or rolled leather, substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: ROBERT JOHN SHEPHERD M.D., M.R.O.S., & L.S.A., Medical Superintendent
St. Olave's Union Infirmary Rotherhithe London S.E. 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 appliance consists of a specially designed mouth-piece, & of a tube some five
feet in length, partly elastic & partly rigid, to provide for the immediate discharge
of the urine as soon as it is voided.
The mouth-piece would be useless without the efferent tube, but it is the part of
the instrument which requires special description. It may be made of any suitable
material, the one I am now using being made of glass. It consists of a hollow top-
shaped vessel 5 inches long, and open at both ends. It may be described as
having a neck and a body. The upper part, or neck, is a straight tube 24 inches
long, large enough to admit of two fingers, & forms the inlet. It is continuous
with the body of the vessel, which curving up all round the neck, after the manner
of a safety-ink bottle, swells out to about twice its size & then suddenly decreases
so as to become top-shaped. The lower end being open forms the outlet. The
accompanying figure shews the mouth-piece, with its peculiar shape for the
prevention of the regurgitation of urine, about the proper size. The letters refer N.
to the neck. B to the body I. to the inlet. O, to the outlet.
The long, or efferent, tube completes the apparatus.
The smaller end, or outlet, of the mouth-piece being attached to one end of the
efferent tube & the penis being inserted into the neck of the mouth-piece,
the apparatus is ready for use.
The efferent tube may be made of any suitable material. Vulcanised india-
rubber tubing such as is used by gas-fitters, or for garden hose, has been found to
answer the purpose very well. It should be about five feet long.
It is flexible enough to permit of its being bent to any required position, & rigid
enough to obviate the pressure by the bed-clothes, or otherwise, which would stop
the flow of urine through it. It is long enough to reach from the mouth-piece
to within two or three inches of the floor of the bed-room & thus allows the urine
to escape from the patient to the chamber utensil placed under its free extremity
beneath the bed.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The shape of the mouth-piece with its provision for the prevention of the
regurgitation of urine.
2. The long efferent tube whereby the urine is immediately carried clear of the
patient, & of the patient's bed & bedding.
3. The self-emptying properties of the apparatus as a whole.

page_text: I, WILLIAM STANBURY FINCH, of the city of Toronto, in the County of York, and
Province of Ontario, Canada, Estate 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:-
My invention has relation to an improvement in shirts or under-shirts, and it
consists essentially in a division at front and back in the lower part of said shirt,
the division in the front and back being protected by a flap or curtain, all of which
is more particularly described.
In the Drawings
Fig. 1) is a front view of my improved shirt.
"
2) is a back view of the same.
"3
3) shows the device as applied to an over-shirt.
In a long course of experience, I have noted the inconvenience and discomfort
which arises from the lower part of the shirt gathering in the "crutch " or "fork"
especially during exercise, or in hot weather and this remark applies as well to
over, as to under-shirts, and to both sexes.
I propose to remedy this by inserting an incision, which shall enable the lower
part of the shirt to act, as it were, with the limbs of the wearer, and to follow their
movement, while to avoid unseemly exposure, I provide a curtain, which is placed
in front and back of the incision before mentioned.
In the drawing, I show an undershirt, merely for the sake of illustration, but
the same principle will apply to all shirts.
A is the shirt, and B, is one side of the slit, which is shown folded back, C is a
piece of any suitable material, it may be that of the rest of the garment, which is
attached as shown, to the other side of the incision or slit.
This prevents
exposure.
•
In Fig. 2 is shown the back of the shirt, in which, for obvious seasons, the slit,
which is marked d, need not be so long.
The effect of this device is to give perfect freedom to the limbs, without the
inconvenience and discomfort of the shirt gathering in the crutch as aforesaid.

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 I do not
limit myself to any length for the slit, or to any precise shape or width for the flaps
or curtains, but what I broadly claim is,
In a shirt or undershirt, the slit or incision covered by a flap or curtain C, in
combination with the rear slit D, with curtains or flaps, substantially as shown, and
for the purpose specified.

page_text: WO, DANIEL SINCLAIR, Telegraph Engineer, Royal Exchange Buildings, Glasgow,
and GEORGE JOHNSTONE, Telophone Inspector, 4 Mansion House Lane, Greenock, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention has for object to avoid the necessity for carrying and separately
applying rosin, spirit of salt solution or similar material in using solder for uniting
metallic substances and to that end we form a compound bar or block of solder and
rosin or its equivalent for use in soldering, the said compound bar or block being
used to apply the solder by means of hot bolts or gas jets in the same way as an
ordinary solder bar or stick but without previous application of rosin or the like to
the surface of the metal. The compound solder bar or block may be made in any
suitable way as for example by casting or running solder into the form of a tube into
the centre of which the rosin is pressed or poured, or by using a core of solder and
a coating of rosin or a bar or block of solder having in it a groove or recess filled
with the rosin.

EDWARD MITCHELL BLEWITT FAULL, Consulting Engineer, 30 Manley Terrace
Kennington Park London, in the County of Surrey, and FREDERICK WILLIAM
CANNON, Consulting Engineer, 551 Manchester Road Poplar, London in the County
of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the effectual and permanent security of stopping
leaky, & burst tubes in marine and other boilers under steam to obviate the serious
consequences that would ensue through an accident of that discription.
For this purpose we employ a bar of iron, screwed at each end, which is passed
through a pipe or some other moveable distance piece, leaving the bar protuding an
even distance at each end. A cast iron washer is next fitted on each end of the tube,
against these washers, is brought to bear a spherical or corrugated plate, which may
be made of sheet steel, iron or any other metal. Outside these plates, we place a cast
iron compression washer, and outside that, is placed a nut, for screwing up &
compressing the spherical plate, between the two washers at each end. In the
concave part of the spherical plate is placed some red lead or other cement, which
when the spherical plates are being compressed squeezes out, and the edge of spherical
plate coming in contact with the inside of Boiler Tubes. At the same time the whole
forms a perfect water and steam tight joint, capable of withstanding any pressure or
temperature.

The end of the Turnstile pillar being recessed has a smooth cylindrical rim over
which is placed one or more Claws or Grips the center of which is pivoted upon a stud
fixed in the stationary plate, and the outer end pressed by a spring lever causes it to
Grip the rim of the pillar when the stile is pressing in the opposite direction to the
spring, and runs free when turning the reverse way. The spring is so arranged that it
can be made to act on either side of the Claws or Grips, by moving a small reversing
handle. A catch or lock arrangement may be applied and controlled in the usual way,
also a recording or registering machine.
I will now proceed to explain this my said invention more in detail by the aid of the
accompanying drawings, reference being had to letters and figures marked thereon.
Fig 1. is a plan of my improved Turnstile shewing the grips and reversing lever,
Fig 2. is a vertical section on line A-B, shewing the top plate E. into which the top
end of the stile pillar G. is journaled. The top end of this pillar is provided with a
cylindrical rim A over which the grips B. is placed, and pivoted to the top plate E.
by stud F. and the outer ends connected by links H. to cross lever C. this cross lever
is also pivoted on stud D. and when placed as shewn in the centre, the grips will allow
the cylinder rim to move freely either way. And when the end of the lever is moved to
either side in the notch rack J. the grips will catch the rim, and prevent the stile from
moving in the opposite direction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
