Improvements in Tyres for the Wheels of Bicycles, Tricycles,
Carriages, and other Vehicles.
1, THOMAS CLARKE, of 180 Stockport Road, Manchester, Manufacturer, 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 relates to that class of tyre which consists of an inner inflated
tyre of rubber or other similar material protected by an outer casing of canvas and
rubber or other suitable material and consists in so forming the outer casing that
the same can without injury be readily removed for repairing or renewing the inner
or inflated tyre.
In carrying out my invention I form the outer casing in the form of an endless
tube slit entirely round along its lesser circumference as illustrated by the several
figures on the accompanying drawing.
In order to secure the two edges of the said tube or casing together I attach to
one edge by cementing or in any other suitable manner a narrow strip of canvas or
other suitable material marked A cross section Figs. 1 and 2 which will overlap the
other edge and can readily be cemented to the said edge after the inner tyre has
been introduced as shewn.
'
Fig. 3 illustrates an alternative method of securing the two edges together by
means of a lace or thread B laced through eyelet holes C formed in each edge of
the casing.
Fig. 4 is a further modification shewing the two edges drawn and secured
together by means of metal tags D cemented or otherwise secured to the casing in
adjacent pairs at suitable intervals along the edges which tags on being passed
through holes E formed for the purpose in the metal rim F of the wheel cause the
said edges to be drawn together and secured as required.
Fig. 5 is a detail view of one of the metal tags I employ.
Having thus 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. The improved construction of outer casing for the inflated tyres of bicycles,
tricycles, carriages, and other vehicles substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2nd. The improved means of securing the outer casing or covering of inflated
tyres substantially as illustrated on the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in the Method of Treating Blue Billy or Purple
Iron Ore, Iron Sand, and similar Substances for the purpose of
Preparing them for the Reducing Furnace.
1 JOHN BOWING of Tilbury in the County of Essex Consulting Chemist
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
METHOD OF TREATING BLUE BILLY OR PURPLE IRON ORE IRON SAND
AND SIMILAR SUBSTANCES FOR THE PURPOSE OF PREPARING THEM FOR THE
REDUCING FURNACE and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Some of the ores of iron are unfit for the reducing furnace by reason of their
disintegrated or powdery condition. The purple ore or blue billy and iron sand
are examples of such substances.
The object of my present invention is to prepare such substances in such a manner
that they may be conveniently treated in reducing furnaces; and it consists in
mixing such substances with coal in the manner hereinafter mentioned and then
coking the mixture so as to produce a hard coherent mass which can be conveniently
treated in ordinary blast furnaces.
In the Specifications of two several inventions for which I have obtained Letters
Patent namely Number 10137 of 1888 and Number 1682 of 1891 I described a
nethod by which coal slack and similar substances may be mixed with water and
tar and then coked.
Now I have since discovered that the disintegrated iron ores to which I have
referred may be mixed with finely divided coal and that the mixture so formed if
treated as described in the two said Specifications will bind or coke into a hard
solid coherent body, that is to say:-The mixture of disintegrated iron ore and
finely divided coal must be well mixed and wetted with water. Tar should then be
added and the whole mass well mixed. The amount of tar will vary with different
coals and iron ores but such amount of tar and the proper amount of water may be
easily determined in each case by simple experiment. The proportions in which
the coal and ore should be mixed will also vary according to the class of coal used
but in practice with rich coking coal weight for weight can be employed, with
refractory or non-coking coals one of ore to two of coal is an average ratio.
The mixture thus obtained can then be placed in an ordinary coking oven and
coked into a hard coherent body in which form it may be placed in an ordinary
blast furnace for the purpose of extracting the iron.
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 method of preparing disintegrated ores, such as iron ores, for treatment in
reducing furnaces consisting in mixing the same with coal etcetera and coking the
mixtures substantially as described.

Improvements in Belts or Straps for Driving Machinery.
I, WILLIAM TATHAM, of Vulcan Works, Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster,
Machine Maker, 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 :-
Ordinary endless belts or straps for driving machinery especially if strong, do
not readily conform in their widthway to the curved surfaces of the pulleys or
drums upon which they work, the surfaces of such pulleys or drums being curved in
the direction of their axes of rotation-balts in some cases having to work on the
convex curved surface of one drum at one end and on the concave curved surface of
the other drum at the other end, and the ordinary belts are not flexible enough to
readily adapt themselves in their widthway to such curves consequently there is
defective adhesion between the belt and pulley or drum and as the work has to be
done by a part only of the surface of the belt there is great strain and wear and
tear on the belt and irregular driving is the result in cases where uniform driving
is very desirable.
My invention consists in forming or constructing belts or straps of leather or
other suitable material for driving machinery when working upon pulleys or drums
curved as above explained with one or more grooves or channels at intervals on one
or both sides in the lengthway of the belts or straps, which permit them to bend
and adapt themselves in their widthway to the curved surfaces of the pulley or
drums and thus to give greater adhesion thereto, and enable them to transmit more
power with less strain than the ordinary form of belt or strap.
Fig. 1 shows a belt a, according to my invention, working on curved pulleys b,
and
Fig. 2 shows a belt a, working on cone drums b, one with a convex and the other
with a concave curved surface; a', are the grooves or channels cut out of the
substance of the thickness of leather belts longitudinally or formed therein in any
convenient manner in belts of other material than leather.
If the belts are made of two or more thicknesses of leather or material they
are or may be formed first with a thin belt, the full width, and then with other
narrow belts stitched or otherwise secured to the broad belt, but with small spaces
or channels a', between, as shown in section by Figs. 3 and 4 to give flexibility in
the widthway.
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 construction of endless driving belts or straps with channels, grooves or
spaces substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated
by the drawings.

ALFRED THOMAS WILMOT Rose Lawn Alma Road Saint Albans Accountant
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved beehive and floor board, the outside of which is rectangular in
shape whilst the inside is multilateral, and to be constructed either with or without

An Improved Beehive.
I ALFRED THOMAS WILMOT Rose Lawn Alma Road St. Albans in the
County of Hertford, Accountant 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 body of the hive is made rectangular in shape on the outside similarly to
the ordinary bar-frame hive now in common use, but the inside has either fixed or
movable pieces made of wood or any other suitable material across the corners and
placed at an angle of forty-five degrees or other suitable angle (as shown in the
horizontal section at d. d. d.) making the inside multilateral as in the case of the
well known Stewarton hive and, further, the body is made to contain either movable
frames or fixed bars, or both together.
The floor-board of the hire may be made of a board or boards nailed
transversely across two or more joists or stay-pieces and having a slot (shown at b.)
cut towards one side between the joists in such a manner as to allow the bees to
pass through it from the body on to the alighting board (shown at c.) which
consists of a platform of about six or more inches in width and of the same
length as the space between the two transverse joists to which it is fastened and
supported.
In order to avoid cutting the quilts of the hive and of having to remove the
roof on each occasion of feeding, as is necessary with the bar-frame hive now in
use, a feeding stage is placed at the bottom of one or more of the triangular spaces
cut off by the pieces placed across the rectangular corners (as shown at e.) in such
a manner that the bees сап obtain access, by means of a passage in the
stage (shown at g.) to the bottom of its metal slotted, or perforated platform
(shown at h.) but cannot pass through the stage, whilst the bec-keeper can get at
the stage by means of a doorway or opening cut in the side of the hive (as shown
at a. and f.).

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 making of hives with multilateral insides, but with rectangular outsides
and may also be made with a floor-board such as described.
2. The principle of feeding the bees through a doorway or opening in the side
of the hive as described.

A Waterproof Holder for the Stalks of Cut Flowers.

COMPLETE SPECIFICTION.
A Waterproof Holder for the Stalks of Cut Flowers.
I, MARY ELIZABETH PEARSON of No. 74 Drumcondia Road in the County of
Dublin, Ireland, Gentlewoman, 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 holder for the stalks of cut flowers, such as button
holes, bouquets and the like, whereby they are kept moist and, in whatever position
they are worn or held, the water is prevented from escaping so as to soil the dress
or gloves.
For this purpose, I employ a tube of soft thin india rubber or similar material
closed at its one end, and having attached to it near its mouth a piece of silk, thread,
tape, cord or an india rubber band. This tube being charged with water, the
stalks of the flowers are inserted into it, and its mouth is then closed round the
stalks by the india rubber ring, or by tying thread tape or cord around the stalks.
According to a modification, the tube can be made with an elastic band of india
rubber at its mouth, which may be merely a thickened band of the tube itself;
this can be stretched to admit the stalks and will then press against them closing
the mouth of the tube. Tubes such as I have described may be made of various
sizes, suitable either for a single stalk or a small number of stalks as in a button-
hole, or for a large number as in a bouquet.
Such tubes are also applicable to cut flowers during transport when sent by post
or otherwise, or when used for exhibition or decoration.
When flowers are sent by post held in such tubes they require no such sprinkling
with water, as frequently softens the paper or cardboard boxes in which they
are contained, and so renders them and their contents liable to be damaged.
When flowers are used for decoration or exhibition, the enclosure of their stalks
in tubes such as I have described would, to a great extent, prevent evaporation of
the water such as takes place when their stalks are held in specimen glasses or
similar vessels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim:
:-
A waterproof holder for the stalks of cut flowers substantially as herein
described.

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
The invention consists in the production in relief, or cameo, on the backs of
brushes, of fancy names, designs, words, letters, ornamentation, advertisements, or
a combination thereof. The variety of designs that may be used is practically
endless. The designs &c. are to be in relief, or cameo, and are to be produced,
both on the score of cheapness, and excellence of finish, by the process described
in F. W. Ventris' Patent No. 933 by Letters Patent granted March the Fourth
1881.
The designs, words, or other matter in relief, or cameo, may be surrounded by
a plain, or ornamental border, in relief, or cameo, or may be without this border.
Any additional ornamentation in relief, or cameo, may also be added to, or combined
with the fancy words, designs, &c.
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 production in relief, or cameo, on the backs of brushes, of fancy words,
names, designs, letters, ornamentation, or advertisements, or a combination thereof,
