Process for the Production of Electrotypes or Galvanos with
Engraved or Sunk Drawings or Designs.
I, RUDOLF MAYER, of Charlottenstrasse 73, Berlin, Germany, 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 a process for the production of engraved or sunk
drawings or designs on electros or galvanos, which process is distinguished from all
known processes in that the engraved drawings or designs are produced upon the
plates without any manual operation and consequently without the necessity for
any artistic work on the part of an engraver.
The process consists generally in that the design to be reproduced is first
prepared with pen and ink, from which design a photographic negative is then
taken, which is then used for the further operations.
For this purpose a photographic print, suitable for chemical transference to a
metal plate is taken from the negative, in the known manner. This print is then
transferred in the known manner, by passing through a press, to a metal plate,
whereby a negative picture (white on black) is obtained on the latter. The plate
is then subjected to an etching process, and there is thus obtained a design with
recessed lines.
It is to be understood that in addition to photographs of line drawings or designs
photographic negatives obtained from a drawing or design otherwise prepared or
even from natural objects can be employed. In this case the so called autotype
process is employed, which consists in taking the photograph upon a sensitised
grid-like surface, so that the design appears thereon in the form of lines or dots.
From the plates with the recessed designs produced thereon by etching as above
described, electros or galvanos are then taken in any desired number.
By this means, contrary to the processes heretofore employed, plates with
engraved or recessed drawings or designs are obtained with the greatest sharpness
of outline direct from the original. These plates can of course be reproduced in
any desired number without requiring any assistance from the artist or engraver.
A modified mode of proceeding, which certainly requires assistance from the
engraver, consists in first engraving the drawing or design directly on a plate, and
then obtaining therefrom electros with the recessed design, for reproduction.
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 herein described process for obtaining electros or galvanos with recessed or
engraved drawings or designs wherein the engraved or recessed drawing or design
is obtained from the original directly on a metal plate without the assistance of the
engraver.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Absorbent Pads for Catamenial
Purposes.
I, WILLIAM BRADBURY ROBINSON, of Wheatbridge Mills, Chesterfield, in the
County of Derby, Lint, Absorbent Cotton and Bandage Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following:
statement:
According to this invention I manufacture absorbent pads for catamenial purposes:
of a layer or strip of cellulose wadding made in the manner described in the
Specification of a Patent granted to Jacob Feirabend No. 3061 of 1891 and of a.
second layer of impermeable cotton wool formed as described in the Specification.
of a Patent granted to William Bradbury Robinson the younger, No. 9286 of 1889..
These layers or strips, of cellulose wadding and impermeable cotton wool I enclose
in a sleeve or tube as described in the Specification of a Patent granted to me
No. 10359 of 1885 and 1 insert them into the tube in the way described in the
Specification of a Patent granted to me and Elizabeth Robinson, No. 13921
of 1886.
The pads are to be used with the layer or strip of cellulose wadding next to the
body of the person whilst the layer of impermeable cotton wool is at the back part
of the pad.
I also in some cases form an absorbent pad with a layer or strip of absorbent
cotton wool, placed on the top of the layer or strip of cellulose wadding and with a
bottom layer or strip of impermeable cotton wool at the bottom, the three layers.
being enclosed in a tube or sleeve as stated above.
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. An absorbent pad formed of a layer or strip of cellulose wadding and a layer
or strip of impermeable cotton wool enclosed in a sleeve or tube substantially as
described.
2. An absorbent pad formed in the above manner and with a layer of absorbent
cotton wool on the top of the cellulose wadding substantially as described.

Fig. 3 an end view of the same.
A is the burner, which consists of a long chamber, having elbows B, which form
the jets or nozzles tapped into or cast with it.
Care the mixing chambers for air and gas of the Bunsen type, and D is the gas
supply pipe. In this pipe 1 provide a main cock E, round which, I form the
bye-pass G, which I also provide with a cock.
In the mouth of each jet or nozzle B, I secure, by a suitable cement, a disc of
steatite II, which is perforated with a number of small holes (see Fig. 3). The
object of using the steatite is, that being a non-conducting material, it does not
become red-hot by contact with the flamme; consequently there is nothing to light
the mixture of air and gas, until it has passed through the disc and comes in
contact with the flame. The steatite also prevents the metal of the jets from
becoming red-hot, and further, if the flame should try to pass through the steatite,
it is cooled down at once and put out.
By this means, lighting back is prevented, however low the pressure may be.
I have mentioned steatite as the material for the disc, as I have found it
eminently suitable for the purpose, but any other suitable non-conducting material
may also be employed.
The amount of gas passing through the bye-pass is so small, that the volume of
the air and gas mixture is also small, and it consequently lights up without noise,
and each jet of the burner becomes, as it were, a pilot light, which will light the
full quantity of air and gas mixture, when turned on, without the least noise, thus
obviating the explosion which is so trying to nervous persons who might otherwise
wish to make use of gas fires.
It is no uncommon thing for servants and others to throw a piece of burning
paper on the top of the asbestos of the gas fire, after turning on the gas, and then

page_text: quickly withdraw, so that they may not be near the fire when the gas explodes.
By the present invention, the most nervous person can light the gas fire without
fear.
It will thus be seen, that the employment of the non-conducting material
which prevents lighting back, enables me to use a bye-pass, and the use of the
bye-pass enables me to light up the burners without causing an explosion of
the gas.
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
1st. Providing a perforated plug or disc of suitable non-conducting material,
such as steatite, in each nozzle or jet of a gas-fire burner, as and for the purpose
set forth.
.
2nd. In connection with gas burners for gas-fires, the use, in combination, of
perforated plugs or discs of non-conducting material, and a bye-pass, as and for the
purposes herein described.
3rd. Preventing explosions and lighting back in the burners in connection with
gas-fire in the manner herein shown and described.

Improvements in the Construction of Pens for Writing and other
similar Purposes.
I, ALFRED JAMES WARNES of Wellington Street, Leeds, in the County of
York, Hay and Corn 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 object of my invention is to construct pens in such a manner that there is
less waste in their manufacture, and consequently the cost in production is greatly
decreased.
Hitherto, pens have been made with a nib at one end, whilst the opposite end
has been formed with a rounded termination. This formation of pen constitutes a
great waste, as when the nib becomes worn, the entire pen is wasted and has to be
thrown away as useless.
According to my invention I cut, stamp, or otherwise form a nib at either end
of the pen, thus producing a double nibbed pen, from a piece of metal of or about
of a size hitherto employed to produce a single nibbed pen.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will proceed to describe
same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters refer
to like parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a pen constructed acccording to my invention, and
Fig. 2 is a side view of same.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a pen of slightly different form, and Fig. 4 is a sido
view of same.
Fig. 5 shows the reversible pen in a holder of ordinary description.
A is the nib hitherto formed on peus, and B is the second nib formed at the
opposite end of the pen, in place of the blank rounded end.
It will be seen that the nib B can readily be inserted in a pen holder as
shown at Fig. 5, leaving the nib A projecting and free for use for writing or other
similar purposes.
When the nib A becomes worn or otherwise damaged, the pen is withdrawn
from the holder and reversed, the nib A being placed in the holder leaving the
nib B free and ready for use.
Pens constructed as above described will last twice as long as ordinary pens, and
as the cost of their manufacture is not more than that of pens hitherto employed, a
considerable saving is effected.
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 the manufacture of pens for writing and other similar purposes, the formation
of nibs at both ends of the said pens, substantially as and for the purposes herein
set forth

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 improved nipper its use being to manipulate the cloth
when making rugs or the like from strips or pieces of that material.
This invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawing wherein,
Fig. 1 is front view, and
Fig. 2 side view.
a a are two pieces of steel or other suitable metal, pivoted at 6 to form a nipper
or plier as shewn. A spring c is also provided to keep the short arms of said plier
open.
A stud d is fixed to one arni a, and a slot d is cut in said spring at that end to.
allow of same sliding along, when pressure is applied to each arm a a', in order to
close the points of said arms. The other end is fixed to the other arm a¹.
In operation the nipper is passed through the cloth composing the ground work
of the rug or the like; whilst so doing the handle is gripped causing the points to
close, and form a complete pointed piece.
After passing this through the cloth as aforesaid, the arms are released, causing
the shorter arms to open, and in them is placed the cloth forming the pattern,.
and the arms again being gripped, the nipper is withdrawn, pulling the cloth partly
through after it.
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.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Woven Tissues for Carpets
and the like.
I, LOUIS SECKELSOHN, of the Hameln Carpet Factory, Hameln, in the
Empire of 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:-
The present invention relates to a fabric for carpets, which, while being of the
same quality, is much cheaper than the fabrics hitherto used by reason of its
warp being made of threads of two different qualities, viz., of one good wool warp
and another less good warp of cotton or linen, the former of which warps is in
the ready woven fabric at the top and produces the pattern, whereas the latter
forms the underside. For binding, a third warp of strong material, for instance
linen is used.
In order to have the wool warp, which produces the pattern, always completely
at the top and so to present the greatest possible resistance to wear through the
rubbing of feet, a thick hair weft is used and for the purpose of strong binding
a thin cotton or linen thread is used.
In the accompanying drawing the new fabric is illustrated by a vertical section,
where b is the good upper warp, c the lower warp, consisting of cheaper cotton or
linen and a the binding warp of linen.
The fabric is manufactured on a machine loom and when the wool warp b is
lifted, the shuttle with the filling weft , that is to say with a double, thick hair
weft, is passed through; then the linen warp a is lifted and a shuttle with thin
weft is thrown. Then the wool warp b and the lower cotton or linen warp c are
lifted, while the linen binding warp a remains below, and the thin binding weft y
returns.
In this way the fabric is manufactured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is;-
A fabric for carpets and the like in which the warp consists of two different
qualities of thread viz.: one warp blying on the top and producing the pattern
being of good material and a lower warp c of a less good but strong material
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

I SALOMON STRAUSS of 5 Reichneistrasse, Frankfort-on-the-Main, 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:-
My invention has for its object an improved bandage for the arm more especially
for children's use intended to prevent the wearers during illness or sleep, and
without impeding freedom of movement, from scratching or otherwise injuring
themselves on the upper part of the body, or interfering with any other bandages
which may be applied, such for instance as over the eyes, and also to prevent them
sucking their fingers or biting their nails.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of this improved bandage whilst
Figure 2 shows its position on the arm.
A piece of drill or ticking a of any suitable length is prepared exactly corre-
sponding to the shape of the arm at the elbow, so that when the bandage is put on,
the elbow lies in the centre of the widest point of the ticking and the two
longitudinal edges cd connected by a lace or cord 6 lie uppermost. Stiffening
strips e are sewn or inserted in the bandage against the elbow, and in consequence
of their position and want of flexibility prevent the arm from being bent at the
elbow, but allow the upper arm and hand to be moved so that the wearer is not

have an overlapping flap, so that the bandage when placed directly on the arm,
entirely covers the same.
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 :-
:-
An improved arm bandage more particularly for children, consisting of a piece
of ticking or the like formed to the shape of the arm secured by means of a lace
or cord and having stiffening strips inserted in a suitable position, whereby the
bending of the arm at the elbow joint is prevented without interfering with the
free movement of the upper arm or of the hand; substantially as hereinbefore
described and shown on the accompanying drawing.

Ring Valve.
WILLIAM CHARLTON BLACKETT (Blackett & Howden, Organ Builders
Forth Street Newcastle-on-Tyne) private address 16 Wharncliffe Street
Newcastle-on-Tyne do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The seat of this valve is in the form of a ring slot, and covered by a disc or
pallet, which is perforated near the centre, or within the diameter of the slot, so
that when open, the air can pass through the perforations of the pallet, into the
slot, from its inner as well as its outer circumference.
At the same time the surface pressure will be according to the width and
length of the slot, and not the whole area of the pallet, as in the ordinary disc
valves.
The advantages of this valve over the ordinary disc valve, are, that it has for a
given area, or diameter, less than half the surface pressure, and double the amount
of vent or exhausting facility, thereby possessing four times the efficiency, and
making it a most suitable valve for pneumatic and electric organ actions, and
distinctly favorable to either light or heavy wind pressures, and rapid repititions
owing to the small resistance to displacemeut, and less displacement, or movement
required.
This valve may be made from any suitable materials as may be required for
electric or pneumatic work.
WILLIAM CHARLTON BLACKETT 16 Wharncliffe Street Newcastle Organ
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 seat B B. CC. Fig. 1 and BB Fig. 2, of this valve, has a ring slot, A A
Fig. 1 and A A. Fig. 2, and is covered by a disc or pallet DD Fig. 1 aud DD
Fig. 3, which is perforated at E E Fig. 1 and EE Fig. 3, near the centre or
within the inner edge of the slot, so that when open the air can pass through the
perforations of the pallet into the slot, from its inner as well as its outer circum-
ference. At the same time the surface pressure will be according to the width
and length of the ring slot, and not the whole area of the pallet as in ordinary disc
valves.
