An Improvement in the Manufacture of Coal Vases and Linings.
I CHARLES STROUD of Penn Fields, Woverhampton in the County of Stafford,
Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates particularly to the manufacture of coal vases or boxes and
linings whether made of wood or metal and specially to the manufacture of the
lining usually comprised in a complete coal vase or box.
In the coal vase or box now in general use it is customary to insert a loose lining
pushed through (the lid being uplifted) into the interior of the vase or box, when
full of fuel this is effected with considerable force and exertion, and the purpose
and utility of my invention is to reduce this force and exertion to a minimum,
which is effected by fixing to the bottom of the said coal vase lining and on the
outside thereof a roller or rollers made of iron or other suitable material, the
wheel or roller proper being made of iron or china or other suitable material.

Improvements in Ocean Steamers.
I, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex,.
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a
communication to me from abroad by Thomas Pringle, of Mount Algidus,
Canterbury, in the Colony of New Zealand, Runholder,) 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 construction of steamers for ocean navigation, the-
object being to make the hull of the ship in such a form that the vessel will attain
a high rate of speed with a moderate consumption of fuel, and also that rocking or
pitching when the vessel is moving or stationary will be greatly reduced.
The invention is the result of a great many experiments made by the
communicator for several years with vessels of different forms whereby he has
arrived at the conclusion that the best form for the hulls of such vessels is that of
the section of a cone, the apex of the cone being the head of the vessel and the
base of the cone the stern.
Such cones may be made of different sizes to suit the requirements for which the
vessel is built and may be flattened for the deck at any distance above the centre.
line of the cone.
The invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawing on which,-
Figure 1 shews the side of the cone as floated, and
Figure 2 an end view of the stern or base of the cone.
By this drawing it will be readily seen that although space is lost near the head:
of the vessel it is compensated for by the increased width of the stern and moreover,.
that the power of the engines in propelling the vessel is also employed in lifting it.
by the wedge form of the bottom being driven through the water thus producing a
lifting action.
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
claim is,
The hull of a vessel formed as described and illustrated.

A Holder for Tumblers and the like.
We, JOHN THOMSON PAUL and JAMES PAUL, both of Grove Works,
Brandfield Street, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, in the County of Midlothian
North Britain, Lamp and Lantern Manufacturers, 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 a holder for tumblers and other like glasses and has for
its object to provide such a holder as can be hung upon a wall so as to be readily at
hand when wanted and easily replaced. It may be used for household purposes;
on board ship or other places.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings illustrates a tumbler in a position as it is
being placed into the holder.
Figure 2 shows the tumbler in position with its mouth downwards.
The holder is preferably made of a length of wire, bent to the required shape,
and secured to the wall or other place by the bracket piece a. The upper part of
the wire is formed by the ends of the length of the wire being brought to a
circular shape corresponding to the shape of the body of the tumbler. The
centre of the length of the wire is doubled so as to provide the support for the
tumbler.
As shown in Figure 1 the tumbler is put into the holder by first resting its
mouth upon the support &¹ and then expanding the upper part of the wire b by the
pressure of the tumbler. By this arrangement of retaining the mouth of the tumbler
downwards, it is kept dry.
We may employ any obvious equivalent of the bent wire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.-
The holder for tumblers and like glasses or vessels, substantially as described and
shown in the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Manufacture of Artificial Musk.
I, WILLIAM MALLMANN, of Roermond, in the Kingdom of Holland, 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 :—
My invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing ketone musk.
According to this method lime valerate and lime toluylate are intimately mixed
in equal proportions in a mortar and distilled over from a retort with the use of a
vacuum. The product passed over is repeatedly washed with a very dilute solution
of soda, and the heavy ketone, which deposits at the bottom as a yellow oil, is
separated from the washing water in order to be subjected to fractional distillation.
The portions passing over at from 235 to 245 degrees centigrade are caught up
separately. They are substantially isobutyltolylketone. The boiling point of pure
isobutyltolylketone is 240 degrees centigrade. By nitration of 1 part of ketone
with 6 parts of nitric acid of the specific gravity of 1-524 and 5 parts of sulphuric
acid of 66 degrees Beaumé I obtain a trinitro compound spreading a very agreeable
odour which is not so obtrusive as that given off by the substitutes of musk which
have heretofore been produced artificially.
As regards the constitution of the compound produced I give the following
equation by way of explanation :

page_text: 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 method of manufacturing ketone musk, which consists in distilling a mixture of
lime valerate and lime toluylate in the dry state, then separating the heavy ketone 5
from the product passed over, next distilling this ketone again, and finally nitrating
the products passed over up to 235 to 245 degrees centigrade.

Improved Process for Manufacturing Hydraulic Cement.
GUSTAV WILHELM ALBRECHT STEIN, of Wetzlar, 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 :-
In the process of manufacturing artificial cement, it is customary to make the
combined or mixed raw materials-so-called raw mixture-of a suitable form,
principally in the form of bricks, before subjecting same to the process of burning.
In general, these so-called raw-bricks shortly after they are inade, are so easily
affected by the influence of the weather and mechanical influences, that they must
be first placed in protected rooms, where they are kept for a considerable time; or,
they are subjected to an artificial drying before being taken to the kiln.
My invention therefore relates to an improvement in the manufacture of the
so-called raw-bricks, and consists therein, that the raw materials of cement, are
mixed with slag-sand and hydrate of lime, in the known composition of Puzzolan
cement (quantities of 5-10% are ample) and the mixture then made into the form
desired. The proportions in which the slag-sand and hydrate of lime are used may
vary from 55-85% of slag-sand to 15-45% of hydrate of lime; but in general I
prefer the proportion of 75% slag-sand and 25% hydrate of lime.
In consequence of the preliminary rapid setting of the composition, the raw bricks
produced in this manner resist all influences of the weather to such an extent that
they may be immediately put into the open air, even during a hard frost, and after
a few days become so hard that they may be taken to the kiln.
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 :-
Process for causing so-called raw-bricks obtained from raw materials of cement,.
to set, and preventing disintegration of same when handled before burning, therein
consisting that slag-sand and hydrate of lime in the proportion of 5 to 10 per cent.
are incorporated with such raw materials, substantially as described.

Improvements in Brakes for Velocipedes.
I, ROBERT HÖFER, of Unter der Johannistreppe, Nordhausen, in the Empire
of Germany, Cycle 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:—
This invention relates to a brake for velocipedes, whereby the disadvantages of
the brakes heretofore ordinarily employed, such as damaging the tyre of the wheel,
damaging the wheel rim, twisting the spokes, etc. are entirely obviated.
The accompanying drawing illustrates (by way of example) my invention applied
to a rear driving bicycle of the ordinary type.
The brake according to this invention differs essentially from the brake apparatus
ordinarily in use heretofore, inasmuch as the braking friction is neither produced
at the periphery of the wheel, that is to say between the wheel tyre or rim and the
brake shoe, or on a special brake drum or wheel, but upon the road or path itself
by means of a special brake shoe arranged for this purpose.
The brake is operated in the usual manner by means of a brake lever a pivotted
to the handle bar and connected with one arm of a bell-crank lever b by means of
a rod or link c, whilst the other arm of said bell-crank lever bis connected to the
rod or link d.
At a suitable point such as A on the frame of the machine preferably on the
pedal-crank axle bracket is pivotted a forked lever B on the ends of the prongs of
which are located the brake blocks C, C, of wood, rubber, or other suitable
material.
At a convenient distance from the point of fulcration A the lever B carries a
clamp or projection D with which the rod or link d is connected. When the brake
is not in use the lever B is held in the position shown in the drawing by means of
the spring F. The mode of operation of the brake can be clearly understood from
the accompanying drawing.
An important advantage of this improved brake consists in the fact that it can
be applied to any type of velocipede without necessitating any considerable
alteration.
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 improved brake for velocipedes substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
2. A brake for velocipedes consisting essentially of one or more brake shoes C
adapted to be pressed against the road or path when it is desired to brake the
velocipede for the purpose of producing a secure and certain braking effect without
acting injuriously on the rim, tyre or spokes of the wheel.

Improvements in Boot-jacks.
I, Sir PERCY VAN NOTTEN POLE, of Todenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, in the
County of Gloucester, Baronet, 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 Boot Jacks, by which, facility is
rendered for pulling off both boots without intermediately removing the first one
pulled off as is necessary with the form of boot jacks now in use.
In order that my invention may be clearly 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 together with a
modification of the same.
Figure 1, is a general view of one of my boot jacks with the boots in position
after they have been taken off.
Figure 2, is a plan of the boot jack.
Figure 3, is an elevation of same.
Figure 4, is a plan showing a modification.
Figure 5, is a side view of the boot jack shown in the modification.
In carrying my invention into effect, I form my boot jack with a timber top. A
preferably of oak, although I do not confine myself to any particular material, and
this top mount upon two substantial supports B or four legs if so desired.
The sides of the top are cut away in the form shown by Figure 1 which enables
those using the jack to place their one foot, say the left, ou the jack at a' and
withdraw the right boot by placing the heel in the recess a³ in which the boot is
allowed to remain while the right foot is placed upon the centre a and the left boot
removed by means of the recess a*. It will be seen that the jack is reversable as
the same may be effected from the other side in which cases the recesses a¹ and a
come into operation. I may effect the same object as shown by Figures 4 and 5
where the top is mounted upon the central support 6 so that the foot can be put
upon the one end as shown by Figure 5 while first the right boot is withdrawn by
insertion in the recess a' and the foot being changed the left boot is withdrawn by
means of the recess a².
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 Improvements in Boot Jacks substantially as and for the purpose herein set
forth and shown upon the accompanying drawing.

A New or Improved Egg Lifter.
I ALBERT EDWARD SMITH of 124, High Street, Watford, Herts, Fishmonger,
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 a device to be used for lifting eggs from the saucepan
after they have been boiled, and is intended to provide a very simple and
inexpensive article, which will allow the eggs to be taken out and carried to the
table without fear of burning the fingers or dropping the egg.
The article is made from a simple length of wire, which is bent round into a
suitable form somewhat resembling a pair of tongs. The wire is bent into a loop
at the centre, which forms one end of the complete article, forming a spring at that
end. At each end of the wire a loop is made of sufficient size to hold an egg
without permitting it to drop through, the loops being in a plane at right angles to
the other portion of the lifter, forming the handle. The wires cross at a short
distance from the ends and the spring causes the two loops to meet, the latter being
separated by grasping the handle and pressing the two sides together.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows the lifter when not in
use, and Fig. 2 when holding the egg.
The wire is bent round to form the handle A with the spring end B tending to
force the wires apart. The wires cross at the bent portions a a short distance from
the end. The ends are formed with the loops C sufficiently large to admit the ends
of an egg. These loops are usually held close together by the spring, as shown in
Fig. 1, but when the handle is grasped they will be opened. To lift the egg the
end of the device is inserted in the water and the loops opened, permitting the egg
to lie between them. On allowing the lifter to close, the egg will be grasped as
shown in Fig. 2, and it can then be raised out of the water.
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.) An egglifter formed from a single piece of spring wire, doubled to form a
spring at one end, the wires crossing near its other end and bent into loops between
which the egg can be held, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved egg lifter, constructed and operating substantially in the
manner described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes
specified.

Improved Means for Production of Effervescent Beverages.
I ROBERT WICHMANN of the Firm of Reese & Wichmann of 12 to 14 Speersort,
Hamburg in the Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 provision of means of producing effervescing
beverages.
With the effervescent powders, effervescent bonbons or the like heretofore to be
had, only an instantaneous sparkling effect can be obtained and the effervescing
beverage so formed must be drunk up almost immediately since the mixture.
quickly dissolves and the effervescing process and thus the refreshing effect
thereupon ceases.
The object of this invention is to provide means for producing a beverage
which for a longer time keeps its agreeably refreshing and continually effervescing
qualities.
This is attained by a mixture of small comfit-grains of which about one half
coutain in them some acid (for instance citric or tartareous acid etc.) and the
other half a carbonic salt (such as bicarbonate of soda).
Each of these comfit grains is coated with a thin layer of pure sugar which
latter prevents the chemical agents from becoming dissolved too rapidly.
As soon as this mixture of comfit grains, to which if desired, an aromatic
mixture of sugar powder may be added, is put in water, the surrounding layer of
the grains slowly dissolves, the chemical agencies underneath become free little
by little and a strong and continuous development of carbonic acid takes place
which for instance in slightly sugared white wine produces absolutely the taste
and appearance of champagne. The duration of the effervescing effect which
can be determined at will by choosing larger or smaller comfit grains, may last
from about ten minutes to half an hour.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
:-
A continually acting effervescent mixture consisting of comfit grains of desired
size according to the duration of the effervescence about one half of which
consist of a salt (such as bicarbonate of soda) enclosed in a layer or shell of
sugar, and the other half of an acid (such as citric or tartaric acid) enclosed in a
layer or shell of sugar with or without admixture of an aromatic sugar, substan-
tially as and for the purpose described.

A metal stay or arm of convenient length has one end shaped into a slightly
tapered hook A, which enters a plate having therein one or more holes, such holes
being of a less diameter than the largest diameter of the tapered hook which acting
as a conical wedge in the hole in which it is placed is securely held therein. The plate
is further provided with a metal chamber or trough B.beneath for the reception of
any matter which would otherwise choke the holes. The chamber can be cleared
by removing the plate. The arm is attached to the casement: the plate is fixed
to the frame in such manner as that when the casement is opened the hook can
be inserted in one of the holes of the plate.
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
I. That the improvement consists of a slightly tapered hook A forming one end
of the metal arm or stay acting as a conical wedge in the hole of the plate into
which it is placed, and by its form securely held therein.
II. The provision of a metal chamber or trough B under the plate for the

A Process for Deodorising and Bleaching Dissolved or Fused
Amylaceous Materials.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane,
in the County of London, Consulting Engineer and 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 :-
This invention relates to the deodorising and bleaching of amylaceous materials
by passing gaseous ozone through them when in liquid condition. The ozone is
prepared by passing air or oxygen through apparatus in which there is a silent
electrical discharge produced by alternating high tension currents; in this manner
the air is made to have about 2 per cent. oxygen about 15 per cent. of ozone by
volume.
The ozone is caused to mix as intimately as possible with the liquid through
which it is brought in contact. For this purpose the ozone is blown from fine
apertures through the liquid, or the liquid is passed in fine streams through a
space charged with ozone; according to another method an emulsion of the
liquid and gaseous mixture is formed by mechanical agitation. The quantity
of ozone employed is such that after acting once or several times on the liquid
it is mostly absorbed with very little loss." The action is continued until the
desired effect is produced.
Among the amylaceous materials that may be treated are soluble starch which
dissolves in warm water, also dextrin and gums produced therefrom which as well
as a certain kind of starch dissolve in cold water. These bodies are treated with
ozone partly in their dissolved, partly in their melted condition. The solutions of
dextrin or gum may be more or less concentrated, as for instance 1 part dextrin
or gum to 2 parts water from which after the ozone treatment crystallised
gum can be obtained by evaporating with or without vacuum.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The herein described process for deodorising and bleaching amylaceous materials
by treatment with ozone.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Crape or Crimped Fabrics.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Crape or Crimped Fabrics.
I, JOSEPH BUTTERFIELD of 2, Barley-corn Square, Halifax, in the County of
York, Overlooker, 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 certain improvements in the manufacture of dress goods
and has for its object the production of figures and designs upon the face of the
fabric in a simple manner during the process of weaving.
Hitherto designs having a crimpy or crapy effect have been produced by floating
the weft on the back of the piece; in the process of dyeing or finishing, the floats
shrink and thus produce the design.
My object is to produce the effect mechanically in the process of weaving and
thus give to the design a more durable character.
1 accomplish my object by the employment of two warps mounted on separate
warp beams. One warp is fed into the loom at about the tension of ordinary
weaving, the other warp is fed in considerably faster so as to be comparatively
slack.
The jacquard or other shedding mechanism is arranged to interweave the slack
warp into the weft either with a plain or fancy weave. The tight warp is floated
along the back or brought to the face in order to form the design.
A new effect is obtained by interweaving the slack warp and weft with a
perfectly plain weave and bringing each tight warp thread at intervals to the face
one or more picks sooner or later than the neighbouring warp threads.
Hitherto the above effect has been produced upon that class of goods known as
crapes by crimping the piece after it is woven, but the crinkled form so obtained is
not so durable as that produced mechanically during the process of weaving. The
effect has also been produced by floating the weft on the surface whereas I produce
my design by a slack and tight warp interwoven, the design in all cases on the
face of the piece only.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
The production of designs on the face of dress goods substantially in the manner
as hereinbefore set forth.

An Improved Thick, Soft, Absorbent Cloth.
We, WILLIAM PICKSTONE, of Todd Street, Higher Broughton, in the County
of Lancaster, Manufacturer and ANDREW GREENHALGH, of Radcliffe, in the said
county, Bleacher, 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 this invention is to produce a thick soft absorbent cloth which
will be light and open in texture especially applicable for napkins and diapers for
children's and ladies' wear and for bandages or other purposes.
It consists essentially of a cloth made or woven with an indented crinkled or
puckered surface such as honey comb cloth or cloth manufactured according to the
Specification filed with our Application No. 7907 of 1894 and then finished by
"raising" or forming a nap on the crinkled or puckered surface which fills up the
interstices of the crinkles thereby producing a very soft and absorbent material
without any increase of weight.
In carrying out the invention we weave the cloth or fabric of either cotton or
linen yarn with the ordinary honey comb or similar weave by which a cloth with
an indented surface is produced or we weave the cloth as described in the
Specification of our Application No. 7907 of 1894 with highly twisted yarn inter-
woven with ordinary yarn to produce a crinkled or puckered surface or with portions
of the face of the cloth lying below the other portions.
The cloth so made is then finished in a raising machine and on the higher portions
of the surface of the cloth a nap is raised which spreads over into and covers or fills
up the indentations or interstices on the surface of the cloth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A cloth woven with an indented crinkled puckered or honey comb surface and
finished with a nap "raised" on the higher portions of such surface which fills up
the interstices or indentations producing a soft and absorbent material substantially
as described.

I, GUSTAV CZERWONKY of 113 Wronkerstrasse, Birubaum in the Empire of
Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what inanner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
Cement tiles with tongue and groove as heretofore constructed have the
disadvantage that water is liable to enter through the joints at the upper surface
of such tiles. This is of course very injurious in its results especially from the fact
that said water in freezing forces the tiles apart.
Also such tiles as heretofore used are very liable to become broken by reason of
their cumbrous shape. This naturally renders the roofing more expensive.
Now the present invention is designed to avoid or overcome these drawbacks by
providing a roof covering in which there is not a single open joint in the outer (or
upper) surface of the roofing. Consequently a roof covered with tiles constructed
according to this invention is perfectly weatherproof and obviates the drawbacks
before referred to.
The subject of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in
which :-
Fig. 1 is a plan or top-view of the new roofing tile.
Fig. 2 is an underside view of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a cross section showing the joint made by said tiles.
The tile A is formed with transverse ribs or ridges a alternating with depressions
or gutters band is also formed on the top with a half round recess c which extends
parallel with the long side of the tile and which corresponds with a half-round
beading d formed on the opposite and under side of the other long side of the tile.
The construction of this beading bond or connection enables the roof to be
covered in without exposing any open joints whilst these tiles can be made from
cement or any suitable material very much more easily and more neatly than
can the ordinary tongue and groove tiles.
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 improved roofing tile having a round beading such as d formed on the
underside of one edge of the tile and a corresponding round or concave recess such
as c provided in the upper side of the tile and consequently adapted to receive
therein the beading such as d of the next adjacent tile substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.
2. The improved roofing tile constructed and arranged to act substantially in the
manner and for the purposes herein before described and illustrated in the drawinge
hereunto annexed.
