A Novel Method of Making Up Racquet Balls, and in the
Employment of Certain Material for the Purpose.
I HEINRICH FREDERIC EMIL NUSSER of 46 Gerrard Street, Soho, County
of London, Manufacturer of Tennis and Racquet Balls and Bats etc. 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 construction or make up of racquet balls in such
manner that they are closer compacted and solid-without-positive rigidity whereby-...
they are quicker in flight than racquet balls at present constructed.
For the purpose of my invention I employ a small wooden ball of regular or
irregular contour which I coat with a stretched worsted yarn. coarse or fine and in
a wet state, or narrow strips of woollen cloth; especially that obtained from worn
out trousers of artillerymen or a combination of worsted yarn and cloth strips
which may be in layers to make up the desired diameter. Over this I spin or wind
fine worsted yarn also in a wet condition and when this is effected and the fine yarn
finished off: the ball thus made is put into an oven to be dried the yarn becoming
in a sense matted or the threads closely allied to each other as to produce solidity
without actual hardness. The balls are then sheathed with leather in the
ordinary way.
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 before described method of manufacturing or building up racquet balls.
2. The association of stretched worsted yarn and cloth strips or of either in a
wet condition as a covering to a wooden centre of ball like formation and enclosing
same, after drying, in a leather sheath as and for the purpose set forth.

Pharmaceutical Chemist 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 :-
:-
I take the ferrous carbonate or the ferrous phosphate freshly precipitated &
washed in the usual manner to exclude oxidation by the air & freed by powerful
pressure from as much water as possible and mix it by itself or with other drugs,
which are prescribed with ferrous salts, such, for instance as arsenious acid or
extract of nux vomica or quininė phosphate or strychnine with glucose, using
sufficient glucose that the mixture upon being slightly warmed can be pressed into
the empty capsules.
As examples I give the following: Ferrous carbonate 1+ grains, glucose grain,
to which I may add th part of a grain of arsenious acid or fth part of a grain of
extract of nux vomica. Ferrous phosphate 1 grain, quinine phosphate 1 grain,
strychnine and part of a grain, glucose 1+ grains.
I do not claim to be able to mix all drugs in these preparations, such as act upon
gelatine, are too bulky or hygroscopic would be unsuitable.
Experiments have shewn me that capsules prepared in this manner retain the
iron in a ferrous state for a very long time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :
The preparation of capsules of ferrous carbonate or ferrous phosphate mixed with
glucose as above described.

WILLIAM PERCY WILSON BROWNE, ARTHUR EDWARD WILSON BROWNE
Merchants 34 Ludgate Hill, Birmingham in the County of Warwickshire and
ROBERT SEBASTIAN BOZON Engineer Albion House Handsworth in the County of
Staffordshire 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 :-
Upon an iron frame as would be used for a wheel barrow, is hinged a square iron
box with a lid, to the iron frame under this box is fixed a fan blower. By standing
the barrow frame upon its handles, and legs, with two supports from under the
bearings of the wheel, to the ground, forms the frame of the forge. The box is
then brought into a horizontal position, and resting upon two arms becomes the
hearth. A band, or cord is then run over the barrow wheel, and round the pulley
of the fan blower. At the end of the shaft or spindle upon which the barrow wheel
is fixed, is a square for a handle to fit on, when this said handle is turned, the band
or cord passing over the barrow wheel drives the fan blower, which generates the
required blast, and sends it through the nozzle into the square iron box, which
being the hearth completes the forge. In order to make the same portable, it closes
up into the form of a wheel barrow.
We will now proceed to explain the manner the same is to be carried into
effect.
Fig. I in the drawing annexed is a side elevation of the portable forge, closed
up ready to be wheeled to where it may be required.
Fig. 11 is also a side elevation, but showing the manner in which it is converted
into a forge by it being tilted upon its handles.
When the barrow is tilted upon its handles as in Fig. II the legs, or supports A
are then brought into position, to support the frame. The iron box B. is then
lifted into a horizontal position, and the arms, or supports C. brought under the
iron box B. for it to rest upon. The lid D. of the box is then lifted into a vertical
position, forming the back of the hearth. A band, or cord is then run over the
barrow, or driving wheel E. and over the pulley M of the fan blower F.
The nozzle G of the fan blower is brought into its position in the tue iron, by
the action of the box B, which now forms the hearth, taking its radius upon the
hinge I. The handle K. is then fitted upon the square L, on the spindle of the
wheel E. the turning of which drives the fan blower F. generating the necessary
blast for the forge.
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
Firstly. A portable forge in the form of a barrow.
Secondly. The tilting up of the same to form the forge.
Thirdly. Using the wheel also for the purpose of driving as herein fully
described.

I, FRIEDRICH KORT of Mallstatt-Burbach in the German Empire, Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manuer the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The object of the present invention, which relates to brushes brooms and similar
articles, is to enable the bristles hairs fibres or the like to be fastened therein
in such a manner that they can be easily renewed when they have become partly
worn out.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which :-
Figure 1 is a partial perspective view, drawn diagrammatically, of the head of
a broom constructed in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a transverse section through the head of the broom, and
Figure 3 is a partial perspective view shewing the device for securing the
bristles or the like in the head or stock.
The bristles hairs fibres or the like, d, are fastened in the head or stock by being
folded into a sheet metal or suitable trough shaped clip b, in which they are held
by a wire e extending the whole length of the clip. The method of inserting the
bristles or the like is illustrated by Figure 3. The bristles having been laid across
the clip with their central part above the middle of the clip as shewn, the wire c
is pressed upon the bristles, thus forcing them down to the bottom of the clip.
The upper edges of the clip are then squeezed together, and the row of bristles is
ready for insertion into the head or stock of the brush, in which there are formed
dove-tailed recesses n adapted to receive the full clips. These may be inserted
by sliding them into the grooves endwise and they may be held in place by the end
plates e Figure 1.
The strength and dimensions of the clips and wires will vary with different
kinds of applications and they must be proportioned for each particular case.
This method of manufacture can be employed with brooms and brushes of
all kinds.
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. As a new article of manufacture, a brush or a broom in which the bristles
or the like are fastened by wires and clips in suitably shaped grooves formed in its
head or stock, substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
2. The herein before described method for the manufacture of brushes and
brooms substantially as set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Washing Blue.
I, KARL AMMANN, of the Hotel Krone, Lenzburg Switzerland, Cook, 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 glossy washing blues and its object is to produce á blue
which is simple clean and economical in use and which will not cause specks
spots streaks or other marks to appear upon the linen or other material treated.
A washing blue made according to this invention consists of a mixture of
ultramarine and glucose with or without the addition of hyposulphite of soda. By
the addition of the glucose which is soluble in water the finished article is dissolved
into such small particles that marking or spotting is impossible. A further
advantage attendant upon the use of the improved blue is that after it has been
placed in water and a sufficient quantity dissolved it may be removed and used
again without inconvenience owing to its non-absorbent properties which thus
prevent decomposition, fermentation and fungus.
The following gives a preferred method of manufacturing the improved blue
together with the ingredients employed.
Three hundred parts of finely divided ultramarine are mixed with one hundred
and fifty parts of powdered glucose the glucose being preferably warmed.
To this
may if desired be added either or both five parts of hyposulphite of soda and a
little suitable perfume. The resulting material is then formed or moulded to any
desired shape or form by any of the usual means or appliances.
After use the undissolved blue may be kept and re-used without inconvenience
as it retains a compact and shining surface.
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 :-
As a new. article of manufacture washing blue consisting of a mixture of
ultramarine and glucose with or without the addition of hyposulphite of soda,
prepared substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

An Improved Appliance for Straining Broken Iron or Steel Fence
Wire and the like.
I, DAVID JOHNSTON of Inverfarigaig, Lochness in, the County of Inverness,
North Britain, Forester 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 an Improved Appliance for Straining Broken Iron or
Steel Fence Wire, and the like, and has for its object to provide an appliance to
hold the ends of the broken wires and to bring the ends together for repairing
purposes or to enable a piece of wire to be tied thereto, in such a manner that the
ends can be twisted, knotted, or otherwise repaired.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a part side elevation and Figure 2
an end elevation of my improved appliance.
Each end of the broken wire is inserted in notches a, b, formed at the ends of
uprights A, B, which are mounted, one A as a fixture, and one B movable, upon a
straight bar or beam C which forms the sole plate of the appliance. The movable
upright B is mounted in such a manner that it can be moved to and from the
fixed upright A by means of a screw D having an operating handle E. The
wires are firmly fixed in their places in the uprights A, B, by means of the thumb
screws F, and then they are brought towards each other by operating the screw D
so as to admit of the wires being tied.
At the one end of the bar or beam C I mount another fixed, or movable,
upright G with notch g for insertion of the wire, and thumb screw F', as in the
other uprights, the object of this third upright G with relative screw or wedge
being to hold fast one end of the broken wire in the event of the screw D not
being sufficiently long to bring the wire to the required tightness.
The appliance may be of any size or shape and of any desired kind of metal or
material, and the wires may be held in the notches of the uprights by means of
screws, wedges or their equivalents.
The whole arrangement thus forms an appliance by the use of which a wire, in
any place throughout the stretch, may be strained or repaired without alteration
or disturbance of the ratchet, dropper, or dropper fixing.
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. The appliance for straining broken fence wires, and other wires, for repairing
purposes, substantially as hereinbefore described and shown in the drawings.
2nd. The appliance for straining or repairing a wire in any place throughout
the stretch, without alteration or disturbance of the ratchet, dropper, or dropper
fixing, as herein before described and shown in the drawings.

Improvements in Packing Balls of Hemp or Flax Thread.
I, WILLIAM BARBOUR ARDILL of 47 Gresham Street, London, Gentleman, 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 :-
Whereas a difficulty (which is well known amongst practical men) has existed
up to the present in packing balls of hemp and flax thread either for export or
long distances, so as to preserve the shape and continuity of the thread coming out
of a ball, and whereas it has been found since the more frequent use of machinery
that a ball of hemp and flax thread which is being unwound at a rapid rate by the
machine is apt to catch or clog through imperfect packing, the shape of the ball
perhaps having been altered by pressure in transit and the thread thus thrown out
of continuity and entangled. By means of my invention I provide a support for
maintain
the ball which retains its shape even when roughly used in transit and
that my method of packing is both an inexpensive and effective one.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. A. is an ordinary ball of hemp or flax thread
as generally used in commerce.
.
Fig. B. illustrates my meaning and shows a ball of thread which has been
damaged in transit by pressure and which probably would cause a difficulty with
the machine which was unwinding it.
Fig. C. illustrates my improvement in packing.
Fig. D. is the ball ready packed and labelled.
I construct a tube or filler for the centre of the ball made of wood, card-board,
papier-mache or some other suitable substance. The filler may be pressed into the
centre of the ball, and then either by means of a flanged end and a head or cap
afterwards inserted or by means of labels or some other suitable method the filler
is kept in its place, or on the other hand the thread may be balled on to the filler
at the time of balling the thread.
Of course I can make my filler or support for either one or more balls but if
made separately they give great lateral support to the balls which can be packed
each one flat its side without

An Improved Inhaler.
I THOMAS SWORDS ATKINSON Forty-eight Rutland Square Dublin Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In a vessel of tin (or tin and copper) hammered together air tight, fitted with
thermometer, inhaling tube, and spirit lamp, for heating air up to six hundred
degrees of Fahrenheit, I place a small quantity of Kilkenny coal. The hot air
will certainly relax the clogged or contracted air tubes, while the mineral at a
heat of 300 degrees, and upwards, emits a matter that condenses any expectorate,
enabling the sufferer to throw it off, inhale a full inspiration, and thoroughly
inflate the whole air system, bring it into healthy action, and entirely eradicate the
disease.

1 THOMAS SWORDS ATKINSON Forty-eight Rutland Square Dublin Gentleman
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 a vessel of tin (or tin and copper or other material) hammered together air
tight, fitted with thermometer A, inhaling tube B, and spirit lamp C, for heating
air up to six hundred degrees of Fahrenheit, with an air supply tube D.
descending to the bottom of the vessel, where it admits the supply, I place a
small quantity of Kilkenny coal. The hot air will relax the clogged, or contracted,
air tubes, while the mineral, at a heat of 300 degrees and upwards, emits a
sulphurous matter that condenses any expectorate, enabling the sufferer to throw
it off, inhale a full inspiration and to thoroughly inflate the whole air system.
1 Firstly I claim as original the heating of dry air to a high temperature for
inhaling purposes.
2 Secondly I claim the use of dry heated air for relaxing all contracted or
clogged air tubes and thoroughly inflating the whole respiratory system-and
3 Thirdly I claim the use of sulphurous Kilkenny coal, (or other sulphurous
matter), heated by dry air up to three hundred degrees of Fahrenheit, and
upwards, for destroying all microbes, bacteria, or other parasites, and restoring
full respiration.

An Apparatus for Steadying the Indications of Pressure Gauges.
I HENRY REGINALD ARNULPH MALLOCK of 3 Victoria Street, Westminster,
S.W. Gentleman 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 apparatus to be attached to a pressure gauge and
its action is such, that when the pressure of the gas or fluid varies rapidly, the
gauge shall give the true mean reading in lieu of oscillating more or less between
the two extremes.
I accomplish this by using, to communicate the pressure to the gauge, a length
of lead or other suitable tube of such proportions that the flow of the gas or fluid
shall vary directly as the difference of pressure at the ends of the tube. For this
purpose I find a tube having a diameter of bore of about th inch or less to be
suitable, but it is preferable that it should not be greater. For use with hydraulic
pressures a length of 6 feet of such tube is found suitable with an ordinary Bourdon
gauge and for gas pressures with such gauges, a length of 30 to 60 feet. The
greater the capacity of the gauge the less will be the length of tube required.
order to prevent the choking of this tube, I usually construct the apparatus in
such a manner that the gas or fluid has to pass through a layer or layers of wire
gauge or other filtering materials.
In
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 use of a length of tube with a very fine bore through which a pressure is
communicated to a gauge for the purposes of recording the true mean pressure of
varying pressures as herein-before described.

An Improvement relating to Table Forks.
I, AMY BEALE, of Woodville, Knighton, Radnorshire, Dame, 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 table forks and has for its object to provide a fork which
may not only be used in the ordinary way but which is also adapted for cutting
bread, cheese, cake, fruit, and the like.
According to my improvement I make either one or both of the outside prongs
of the fork of suitable strength and form and with a suitably sharpened blade
or cutting edge upon the outer side extending for the whole or any part of the
length. To afford the required strength the cutting prong is made broader
and stiffer than the intermediate prong or prongs, and it may be slightly pointed
if desired.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a
bread fork of ordinary construction, but having its outer right hand proug A
constructed according to my invention and bevelled to a suitable degree of
sharpness at a; Fig. 2 shows another fork having both its outer prongs A A
constructed as shown and sharpened at its outer edges a a; and Figs. 3 and 4
are respectively sections on lines B-C of Figs. 1 and 2 enlarged to show the
improvement. The bevelled and sharpened cutting part may be made in one with
the metal of the fork prong, or it may be a steel blade fixed to the prong in suitable
manner.
By this construction the fork is rendered more useful and convenient than
heretofore.
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 table fork having one or both of its outside prongs strengthened and formed
with a suitably sharpened cutting edge upon the outerside thereof extending for the
whole or any part of the length, substantially as and for the purposes above set
forth

A Trousers Suspender.
I, GUSTAV FRANKE, of 3 Schumannstrasse, Berlin, N.W. in the Empire of
Germany, Doctor of Medicine, 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 trousers suspender capable of receiving and holding
firmly trousers of different thicknesses.
In the accompanying drawings :
Figure 1 shews the trousers suspender when open (the dotted lines shewing it
when first closed).
Figure 2 is a side view of the trousers suspender.
Figure 3 is a top view of the trousers suspender in its final closed condition.
The trousers suspender consists of two wooden bars or clamps a and b connected
with each other by means of joints. The inner surface of each bar is properly
covered with cloth or other suitable soft material. The bar a is provided with a
hook e for the purpose of suspending the trousers. A link c of wire connects the
two bars a and b and keeps them at a certain distance from each other. At the
other end of the bar a a hook or catch d is fixed and is used to close the trousers
suspender by bending it over the end of the bar b. For the purpose of receiving
the link c two holes are bored through the two bars a and b so that different spaces
between the said bars may be obtained and thus both thick and thin trousers held
equally well as hereinafter shewn. The fixing of the trousers is effected by placing
their ends upon the bar a and then securing the bar upon them by closing the
catch d over the end of the bar b. By shifting the bar b upon a in the direction of
the arrow (Figure 3) the trousers will be firmly pressed and stretched. Owing to
this shifting the link c takes an oblique position (Figure 3) so that the space
between a and b becomes smaller and smaller. According to the thickness of the
trousers, may be closed upon a at one end as represented in Figure 1, or, in the
case of thinner trousers, at the other end also, as shewn in Figure 3 where the space
between a and b is diminished by reason of the oblique position of the link c.
trousers are taken out of the suspender by simply moving the two bars a and b
along each other and releasing the catch d.
The
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 trousers suspender consisting of two bars or clamps a and b covered with cloth
or other suitable soft material, which by means of a link c and a hook or catch d
may be closed in such a manner that by moving one of the bars upon the other the
intervening space between the said bars will be diminished, substantially as
described and illustrated.
