A Method of Separating the Injurious Ferruginous Alloys of Tin Contained in Baths of Tin in Tining Iron Articles.
Year: 1886

page_text: A Method of Separating the Injurious Ferruginous Alloys of
Tin Contained in Baths of Tin in Tining Iron Articles.
I AUGUST SCHMÖLE of Iserlohn, doing business under the firm of Theodor
Schmöle Söhne at Iserlohn Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for A METHOD OF SEPARATING THE INJURIOUS FERRUGINOUS ALLOYS OF
TIN CONTAINED IN BATHS OF TIN IN TINING IRON ARTICLES and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
When iron articles are plunged into a bath of molten tin and its alloys, large
quantities of small metal particles or other fusible, ferruginous alloys gradually
arise. These metall particles have a tendency to crystallize and settle on the upper
surface of the iron articles. When the latter are taken out of the bath and begin
to cool, these injurious ferruginous alloys crystallize and give the articles, which at
first looked beautifully bright, a dull and rough appearance.
For this reason it has been found necessary in white-iron manufactories to
plunge the iron plates 3 or even 5 times successively into baths of tin by which
means each succeeding bath contains less of the ferruginous tin alloys than the
preceding one did.
These less easily fusible alloys can be easily removed from the bath by plunging
into it bodies sufficiently cold; but the best way is to conduct cold fluids (liquid
or gaseous) through the bath, for those alloys congeal them and are carried off.
After removal of these ferruginous alloys the bath will give the articles plunged
into it in a beautifully bright coating again.
For this purpose a
shaped pipe, through which it is best to let cold water
run, is moved to and fro in the bath, until those metal particles, that have a
tendency to crystallize and easily to congeal have settled on the pipe. When the
latter is taken out of the bath all injurious ferruginous alloys are removed with it
from the molten tin,

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:
"The method of purifying baths of molten tin and its alloys of injurious
ferruginous alloys that arise in the molten tin and have a tendency to crystallize, 5
by conducting cold fluids through the baths or by plunging vessels filled with cold
fluids into the baths with a view to separating the ferruginous and other tin alloys
contained in the molten metal."

Dwelling Houses, and the like, in Connection with Hot Water
Pipes.
WILLIAM WHITEHEAD, of 26 Argyle Street, Gateshead-on-Tyne Engineer and
ALFRED EMLEY, of 42 & 44 Westgate Road, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Ironmonger 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 improvement consists in forming the boiler of horizontal tubes of a special
shape similar in section to an inverted cone fitting into ends of special shape like a
horse shoe. These ends and tubes may be made of cast or wrought iron or of any
other suitable metal or metals.
In order to make the description of our boiler more clear we refer to the attached
drawings which show our ordinary form of the boiler.
Fig. 1 is a view of horse shoe ends H, H, one half being in section at B B showing
general arrangement of pipes E and their special shape.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation at A, A, and shows pipes E fitting into ends H, the
arrows showing the direction of the flow of water from front box K, through water
bars F into lower back box L, box M and back end H, along pipes E to front end H
and out through flow socket N.
Fig. 3 is half plan and half sectional plan at CC.
Fig. 4 is a view of front end of boiler, one half having the fire door I and the
cleaning doors J. J. removed.
Fig. 5 is a small section of an end H giving an arrangement of two rows of pipes.
We have no special way of constructing our boiler, the ordinary modes of jointing
and building same being adopted, and the application of waterway bars of any shape
forms no part of our invention, as the boiler may be made with or without, as required.
If without waterway bars, the front box K and the back lower box L are not used, the
return socket being placed in a convenient position on box M. The peculiar shapes of
our ends H and tubes E present a large amount of surface to the direct action of the
fire, which is the object of our invention.
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 application of tubes of the special shape described, in one or more rows,
forming a horizontal boiler of the type known as saddle boilers, and herein substantially
described.

I, JAMES HENRY GREATHEAD, of N° 8 Victoria Chambers, Westminster in the
County of Middlesex, 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 relates to means of fixing and adjusting the net used in lawn
tennis, in such a manner as to render the operations of putting it up and taking it
down rapid and easy, to give it the required strain without derangement and to
facilitate the adjustment for height, as I will describe referring to the accompanying
drawings. Fig. 1 is a view of the two ends and part of the middle of the net,
Figs. 2 and 3 shew to an enlarged scale the hooks which I employ for securing the
cords of the net. I let into the ground two pieces of pipe A A which may remain
there permanently for reception of the two poles B B, which may be of tube,
provided with cross pins b b which entering notches in the tops of the pipes A
hold the poles at their proper height and prevent them from turning round. The
ends of the net are made with eyelets or loops through which are threaded
cords CC attached at their upper ends to the main or top cord E and at their
lower ends to the eyes d of hooks D, which partly embracing the poles B are made
to take a frictional hold when they are canted into an inclined position. The top
cord E is at one end, after passing over in a notch at the top of one of the poles B
held by a hook F the point of which enters a hole in the pole. The other end of
the top cord E after passing over a pulley e is tied to the eye of a hook G, which
is made with a long arm to give elasticity and also leverage for canting the hook
so as to give frictional hold on the pole B which it partly embraces. In order to
give facility in adjusting the net to its proper height in the middle, I provide at
the proper height on the poles B, collars H H or other suitable sight marks, so that
on looking along them from a point such as S it can be seen that the middle of the
net is at the same level, and the observer by sliding the hook G up or down
the pole can lower or raise the middle of the net as he may find necessary.
It will be seen that as the poles B.merely enter sockets A, and as the attach-
ments of the net to the poles are made by hooks that can be at once attached or
detached, the mounting or dismounting of the apparatus can be performed with
great facility.

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:
The construction and use of lawn tennis apparatus substantially as described
and shewn on the accompanying drawings.

page_text: I ARTHUR TUDOR HUMPHREYS TREVOR of Beaumaris in the County of Anglesey,
Medical practitioner, 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 produce a comforter which shall be capable of
being used in various ways as hereinafter described, and which shall at the same
time be efficient, portable, light, and useful to all who are in any way exposed to
weather.
And my improved comforter consists of a cylinder composed of a sufficiently
elastic material so as to be capable of being used in the manner desired, and also
of such texture that it may retain the necessary warmth.
The stitch preferred for making the said comforter is as follows:-After casting
the required number of stitches so as to form a cylinder of the desired length
× slip one, pass the wool forward, knit 2 together x all the rows are formed in
the same manner.
Having now stated the nature of my said invention I will proceed to describe it
more particularly by the aid of the accompanying drawings in which are shown the
cylinder and its applications.
Fig. 1 shows a view of the cylindrical comforter above referred to when not
in use.
Fig. 2 shows a method of manipulating the comforter so as to form a kind of
muff. To use the comforter in this manner the hands are inserted at the opposite
ends of the cylinder, then a half twist is given to the cylinder so that it somewhat
resembles a dumb-bell in form, the two hands may finally be worked into the
opposite compartments so formed when the muff shown in figure 2 will be
produced.
Fig. 3 represents two separate methods in which the comforter may be used. In
the form shown at A it is employed as a smoking or lounge cap. To use it in this
manner one end of the cylinder is turned back about two inches and it is then
placed upon the head as shown and the open end is allowed to fall over at one side
or at the back. In the form shown at B, the cylinder is passed over the head and
arranged around the neck either inside or outside the coat as required.

page_text: In figure 4 is represented a method of using the comforter as a kind of helmet
to protect the head ears throat and chest, and when in this form a hat may be used
in addition if desired. A further use as a respirator may be made of the comforter
by pulling up the portion D in figure 4, so as to cover the mouth and nostrils thus
forming a respirator.
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 production of a comforter of the form described capable of being used in
the manner and for the purposes substantially as herein before described.

THE STANHOPE COMPANY Limited of 20 Bucklersbury Engineers and GEORGE
LEE ANDERS of 90 Worship Street Electrician both 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:-
According to our Invention we take a membrane or sheet of the material
commonly known as celluloid which we prefer should be of a thickness about equal
to one fiftieth of an inch, (but we do not limit ourselves to any particular thickness
provided it is suited to act as a telephone diaphragm or tympan) and if the
membrane or sheet be not originally formed of the shape necessary for a telephone
diaphragm or tympan we cut or stamp out therefrom a piece of the necessary
shape. This we may combine with the other necessary or usual parts of a membrane
telephone either in its simple form or we may back or strengthen it with woven or
other fabric or suitable membrane or material such for example as muslin or linen
applied to one or to both sides of the celluloid or we may use two membranes or
sheets of celluloid with the strengthening fabric or material between them the
whole being fastened together so as to form practically one membrane. We do not
limit ourselves to any particular way of securing the parts together. Or we may
coat parchment or gold beaters skin or other eqivalent membrane or material
suited to the purpose with a covering or coating or coverings or coatings of
celluloid which will have the effect of rendering the membrane or material so
coated or covered more reliable and permanently efficient than it would otherwise
be. The coating or coatings may be applied in any suitable way. We find a
convenient way is to soften celluloid in ether or chlorofrom and to apply under
pressure the celluloid thus softened as a coating or as coatings to the parchment or
gold beaters skin or other equivalent membrane or material either on one or on
both sides thereof, but there are other methods well known to the trade, and we do
not confine ourselves to the above method.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
First: A diaphragm or tympan for electrical telephones known as. membrane
telephones the said diaphragm or tympan being composed or partly composed of
celluloid substantially as herein before described.
Second: A diaphragm or tympan for electrical telephones known as membrane
telephones the said diaphragm or tympan being composed of celluloid backed or
covered on one or both sides or enclosed between or enclosing a strengthening
fabric membrane or material substantially as hereinbefore described.
Third: A diaphragm or tympan for electrical telephones known as membrane
telephones the said diaphragm or tympan being made of parchment, gold beaters'
skin or equivalent membrane or material covered or coated on one or both sides
with celluloid substantially as hereinbefore described.

of the proper size to be seized with one hand, as represented in Figure 1.
B, B represent movable jaws attached to the front ends of the arms A by flat
springs c, which latter are secured to the outer sides of the arms A and jaws B.
When the arms A are closed against each other, the rear ends of the jaws B rest
against the front ends of the arms A. Upon inserting a marble between the inner
sides of the jaws B and pressing the arms A toward each other the springs care
deflected and the jaws B assume an inclined position, as represented in Figure 2.
The angle of the jaw increases until it exceeds the angle of friction, when the
marble is projected forwardly from between the jaws with great precision and
force. By the simple operation of pressing the arms A together, the marble is
projected with much greater force and accuracy of aim than by hand, and without
fatiguing or abrading the fingers of the player. The arms A aud jaws B are
preferably constructed of wood and the device can be produced at very small cost.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said.
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my Foreign Correspondents I declare that what I claim is :-
First. A device for projecting marbles, composed of two arms and spring jaws
attached thereto, between which the marble is placed and whereby the marble is
projected, substantially as set forth.
Second: The combination with two connected arms A, of projecting jaws B,
and springs c whereby the jaws B are attached to the front ends of said arms,
substantially as set forth.

I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67 Strand in the County of Middlesex, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a communication to me
from abroad by Enrico Porrero of Ronda St. Antonio No. 4, Barcelona, in the
Kingdom of Spain Manufacturer 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 dish or plate made of transparent material such as
glass or crystal, to which a movable bottom is fixed by means of screw springs or
any other suitable arrangement. The dish is made of a transparent material so
that the decoration of the bottom may be seen through it. The movable bottom
may be of porcelain, hardware, polished or unpolished brass or other metal, lined
with porcelain or any other material, and it is quite indifferent, whether it be
transparent or opaque.
The upper side of the movable bottom may be decorated painted or glazed as in
ordinary plates or dishes and metals; also the drawing picture, advertisment etc.
may be inserted between the dish and the bottom; this decoration is to be seen
through the dish and for this reason the latter must be transparent. The dish
may be decorated with opaque engravings or enamels at the places where it does
not affect the decoration of the bottom. The joint between the dish and the
bottom is made water tight by means of indiarubber or other means.
The dimensions and shape of the dishes of my invention depend on the use,
to which they may be destined, as for instance, for meat-, dessert-, coffee- and
tea-services.
The accompanying drawings show a dish A of my invention screwed in the
bottom B. The union here takes place in the screwed part C and therefore both
the dish and bottom are provided with suitable screw threads, when they are
made; in order to facilitate the operation of screwing the bottom on and off,
the flange is slightly flattened or recessed in two opposite places so that it may be
CD Cr

page_text: adjusted in a hollow piece of wood or iron, which acts as a spanner; the screwing
of the dish into the bottom is done by fixing the spanner and turning the dish
by hand.
Any other device may also be employed tending to facilitate this operation,
Instead of a screwed union as shown in the drawings, it could be done by means
of springs fixed in the dish and catching in the bottom or vice versa, or with studs
inserted through suitable bores.
The print, engraving, picture etc to be shown through the dish is inserted
between it and the bottom.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
The transparent dish or plate A or a dish or plate having a transparent bottom,
combined with a movable bottom B fixed thereto by screws, springs, pins or in
any other suitable manner, for the purpose described.

page_text: We JOHN ADAMS SCOTCHER of Bury St. Edmunds in the County of Suffolk
Gunmaker and GEORGE EDWARD BOND of Thetford in the County of Norfolk
Gunmaker, 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:-
To use a loose composition in powder or granulated form in the place of or in
conjunction with the wadding this composition when compressed in the cartridge
fulfill all the requirements of the wadding now in use with the advantage of less
friction on the inside of barrel and dispersing immediately on leaving the gun
thus in no way impeding the direction of the shot, this composition can be
manufactured as a lubricant for the prevention of leading and foulness in the gun
barrel.
Cartridges loaded in the ordinary manner with the thick felt wadding when fired
at a mark forty yards distant, many of the shots may be found outside a circle
of seventeen feet thus clearly demonstrating that the passage of the felt wadding
(which being necessarily weighted with grease) frequently reaches the target causing
many of the pellets to fly off at a tangent.
The object of our invention is to remove all obstruction to the free passage of the
shot, to this end we prepare a loose composition preferably wood dust, with grease
as a lubricant and colouring matter or otherwise for identification this in conjunction
with thin card wad's above and below we place in the cartridge case occupying the
position of the usual felt wadding.
We claim for this system of loading, regularity of pattern less fouling reduction
of cost and easy mode of application.
It may be urged against this system that in a head wind the composition would
blow back in face of sportsman but experience show such is not the case there are
complaints of particles from the nitro explosives comming back but when it is
remembered that our composition is in front of explosive and not forming part of
it the case is not analegous.
Having now particularily 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 manufacture of cartridges using a loose composition in powder or granulated
form in the place of or in conjunction with the wadding.
In witness whereof we the said John Adams Scotcher and George Edward
Bond have hereunto set our hand and seal this sixth day of November in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty six.

page_text: I, JOHN LINE of the Firm of Messrs. John Line & Sons of Reading in the
County of Oxford Manufacturers and Merchants 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 :-
This invention has for its object improvements in the means of showing paper
pattern books by which various books can be quickly exhibited on the same stand
with very great facility and ease.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and easily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which a stand and
pattern book are illustrated used showing the mode of operating the same.
Figure 1 shows a stand or frame A with the pattern book B attached thereto as
will be hereafter explained.
Figure 2 shows a broken off side elevation of the pattern book B removed from
the frame A.
Figure 3 shows the front A¹ of the frame A when the pattern book is lifted off.
Figure 4 is a back view of the book Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a broken off front view of the front A¹ of stand frame showing the
means of connection more clearly.
Figure 6 is a front elevation of the hinge separate from the frame.
Figure 7 is a sectional view of the Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a sectional view with the part C which is attached to the book lifted
to an angle at or about which position it can with great facility be lifted off and
so separating the front C from the back D. It will be noticed that the part D
which fits upon the front A' of the stand has a tapered or pointed projecting
nose d' which is cranked outwards as seen at Figures 3 and 7 to receive the pin c¹
which is attached firmly to the plate C and thus when they are placed together as
shown at Figure 8 they are capable of a hinge like motion.
Figure 1 shows the Pattern Book hung on the frame in about the position it
would generally be fixed. It will be clear that the leaves of the book or each
pattern may be easily thrown back to show every part of the pattern and at the
same time by lifting the whole together to about an angle as seen at Figure 8
that book may be immediately lifted away without removing the stand A and a
נם...ID

page_text: new book placed there instead. Every book and frame being thus manufactured
they are always interchangeable i.e for the same sized books.
The parts C and D would be made in metal generally.
First
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed what I claim is :-
The improved detachable means of showing pattern books substantially
as herein set forth.
Second-The detachable hinge C. D as illustrated by Figures 6, 7 and 8 and as
herein set forth

page_text: Improvements in Lamps for Burning Petroleum or Paraffin Olls.
EDWIN HARRISON, Engineering Agent of 15 Wakefield Street London, W.C. in
the County of Middlesex, and THOMAS CHILTON, Tobacconist of 46 Compton
Street, Brunswick Square London W.C. in the same County, 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 of Improvements in the manufacture and employment of
Lamps for burning Petroleum or Paraffin Oils for domestic Lighting purposes, etc,
by which the volatile vapours or fumes arising from overheating of the Lamp,
defective trimming, etc-are rendered harmless and inexplosive, even when the
Lamp with the full flame from the wick is blown downward through the fittings
to extinguish the light-This safety and immunity from explosion in the commonest
of Paraffin Lamps is obtained by this simple improvement viz. complete ventilation
by the means of perforations (as shewn in accompanying Sheet of drawings Figs. 1
and 3, a) or openings around the exterior of the circumscribed and unventilated
space or chamber A in all existing Paraffin Oil Lamps wherein the spindle or
spindles and wheel gearing for raising and lowering the Lamp Wick is situated, i.e.
immediately above and seperating the oil Reservoir and screw joint connection
(b, Fig. 1,) on the one hand from this chamber, and the flat dome or circular blank
(c, Figs. 1 & 2) seperating it on the other hand from the Lamp ventilation
openings, etc above the circular blank or dome around the flat wick tube
(d, Figs. 1, 2, 3) between which the gearing chamber is situated (see A. Fig. 1
and 3,) and wherein the explosive vapours or fumes accumulate and frequently
cause dangerous explosions and accidents.
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:
By this improvement we claim novelty in the application of ventilation in the
confined space or chamber (as shewn in drawings) wherein the spindle and gearing
wheels for raising and lowering the Lamp Wick is placed as described above, which
chamber exists in an unventilated form in all Paraffin or Petroleum Oil Lamps
manufactured or in use.

Improvement in Syphon Water Waste Preventers.
I MILTON SYER of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey Merchant
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SYPHON
WATER WASTE PREVENTERS FOR THE FLUSHING OF CLOSETS, URINALS &c. to be as
follows:-
In carrying my Invention into effect I combine a trapped Syphon Tube with a
inovable cover over it, fitted in a Flushing cistern of any desired capacity. The
action and mode of operating the Syphon is as follows. I provide a bent Syphon
tube surrounded by a water tight cell, over this cell and Syphon tube I place or
suspend a cover, moved by means of a lever, chain or other pull. Now on the cistern
filling with water air is confined under the cover, thus keeping the water back, on the
cover being raised the atmospheric pressure forces the water over Syphon leg and the
syphonage is put in action employing the cistern and giving an effectual Flush to
the W.C. urinal or other purpose for which it is employed.
