Improvements in and relating to Soluble Quinoline Antiseptics.
We, ADOLF LEMBACH, ULRICH SCHLEICHER D.Ph., and CARL JOSEPH
WOLFF D.Ph., all of Biebrich on the Rhine in the German Empire, Technical
Chemists, 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 :-
It having been proved that quinoline and its homologous substance toluquinoline
possessed great anti-bacterial properties, it became a matter of considerable
importance that they should be rendered available for general use, but the complete
insolubility of these strongly basic substances presented an obstacle which it
appeared could not be overcome without the use of strong mineral acids.
After a
long series of experiments, the inventors have succeeded in finding an
unexpectedly simple solution of the difficulty, as hereinafter described, so that there
is now nothing in the way of the technical and commercial application and use of
the substances as antiseptics.
According to our invention we bring the quinoline or toluquinoline into a state of
solution in and during the saponification of saponifiable fats and oils.
For example, to 50 kilos. of castor oil are added 50 kilos. of quinoline with the
addition of a solution consisting of 15 kilos. of hydrate of potash in 50 kilos. of
water. This mixture is boiled until the saponification is completed, which stage is
indicated by the clearing of the mixture which has hitherto been cloudy and turbid.
When the saponification has been completed, another 85 kilos. of water are added,
the mixture being meanwhile kept stirred. Any other suitable saponifiable fat or
oil may be used in place of castor oil, for example, olive oil; and instead of
quinoline, the homologous substance toluquinoline may be employed. Also instead
of potash, soda may be used.
The perfectly clear liquids obtained by the hereinbefore described process are
soluble in pure water in all proportions, and because of their nature, they may be
called quinoline and toluquinoline respectively.
They have extraordinarily valuable properties as antiseptics and anti-bacterials
and are remarkably convenient in use.
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,
1. A soluble antiseptic, consisting of quinoline or toluquinoline in a saponaceous
solution, prepared substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The herein before described process for the manufacture of soluble quinoline
antiseptics, which consists in saponifying oils or fats in the presence of quinoline or
toluquinoline, boiling until the solution is complete and thereafter adding water to
the solution, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Water Gauges with Automatically Closing Valves.
I, FRIEDRICH GOTTLIEB GOTTFRIED DIETZE of 3 Meissnerstrasse, Hamburg
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to water gauges and has for its object the arrangement of
the two automatically closing valves in the upper correspondingly bored ends of
two screw spindles with high pitch lodged in the upper and lower sleeve of the
water gauge. By this arrangement, other closing bodies between glass and boiler
become superfluous, whereby the handling of the apparatus becomes simpler and
its weight is reduced.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front view with two vertical sections through both sleeves of the
apparatus.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.
The screw spindless are lodged, so as to be inclined below the horizontal to
the longitudinal axis of the glass, ine casings g g' the closings "u¹ of which
serve as their nuts. The ends, located in the casings, of the spindles have bores in
which are guided the valves ev¹, while the ends outside the casings are provided
with handles. The movement of the valves » ' is determined by pins t being
introduced crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the respective bores, which pins
lay themselves against projections of the valve shaft according as the screw
spindles are manipulated. The manipulations are of three kinds. In the position 1
of handle h, the valve r closes automatically with the breaking of the glass.
By giving the handle the position 2, a permanent closing is effected, while in
position 3, steam can be blown through the glass. The lower valve is manipulated
in the same manner, so that by turning the handles for 180 degrees the valves
occupy successively the positions indicated. After compensation of pressure has
taken place in position 1, the valves fall by their own weight back into the original
position: To give better access to the steam or water, lateral apertures are
provided in the spindles at the bottom of the bores.
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:
บ
A water gauge, in which the valves serving for the automatic closing of the
channels are guided in the hollow ends of screw spindless which are lodged so
as to be inclined below the horizontal to the longitudinal axis of the glass, the
valves being, by a movable connection of the spindles and valves, adapted to be
opened or closed from outside by turning the spindles for about 180 degrees, while
the valves act automatically in the middle position between the two end positions,
substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Locks.
SAMUEL WELTON JOHNSON Hardware Merchant 16 Moseley Street Birmingham
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 has for its object, the working, in an improved manner, of the latch
bolt of a vertical or upright rim lock by means of having a thumb latch handle,
instead of the ordinary knob handle. For this purpose I employ a weight lever
(which has on it a projecting horn) to act on the latch bolt, in about the centre of
the weighted lever I make an oblong hole through which the thumb bit of the
handle passes; and by pressing down the thumb bit outside the door it raises the
weighted lever and draws back the latch bolt. On releasing the thumb bit
the weighted lever falls and the latch bolt shoots out. In leeking out The lock
bolt is so arranged relatively with the weighted lever that when the bolt is locked it also
secures and locks the latch bolt also, making the lock of double strength.
In order that the said invention may be more clearly understood will proceed
to describe the drawings annexed.
Fig. 1. A view in elevation of the interior of the lock with the lock bolt
unbolted.
Fig. 2. A view in elevation of the interior of the lock with the lock bolt locked
out, which has also locked the latch bolt.

F. Oblong hole or aperture through which the thumb bit of latch handle is
passed, which raises the lever C and draws back the latch bolt.
G. The projecting horn apen over which stud H on lock bolt slides, when lock bolt
is locked out, thus locking both latch bolt and lock bolt as shown in Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described the nature of my invention what I claim as
new is,
1st. The method of applying the thumb bit to a weighted lever with a projecting
horn, acting on and securing latch bolt when locking bolt is locked out.
2nd. The general construction and arrangement of the weighted lover, with pro-
jeeting horn, or any more modification thereof.

GEORGE DEXTER, Traveller, both of 37 Front Street West, in the City of
Toronto, County of York, Province of Ontario, Canada.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E., 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 the invention is to arrange a device by which the salesman can
see at a glance the quantity of material contained in a roll of goods; and it
consists of a tape measure rolled or blocked with the goods so as to correspond
with and indicate the length of the goods it is applied to, substantially as hereinafter
more particularly explained.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tape measure being applied to a roll of
cloth.
Figure 2 is a view of the roll after it has been blocked.
Figure 3 is a view of the device applied to a roll of ribbon.
A represents the end of a tape measure which is placed on the cloth or other
material, B so that the commencement of the measure shall be located at the end
of the cloth.
C represents the board on which the cloth is blocked.
After arranging the tape measure as indicated the goods are blocked in the
ordinary way, keeping the tape measure between the layers of the material so
that when the material has been rolled or blocked into its proper shape the figures
on the tape measure will indicate the exact quantity of the material contained in
the roll. There are many advantages in having means by which the exact
quantity contained in the given roll can immediately be seen. Among the advan-
tages we may mention that the salesman is enabled to see at once whether the roll
of material he examines contains a sufficient quantity to supply a given want.
He is also able to take stock without the necessity of unrolling and measuring the
material. It will of course be understood that the measuring attachment may be
applied to any kinds of material which is usually rolled or blocked; the tape
measure A may be made of paper, linen, or any kind of material desired and with
material such as ribbon. The paper which is usually rolled between the layers of
ribbon may be marked and utilized.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
In combination with a roll of material, a tape measure arranged substantially as
and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Fountain Ink Pots.
I, PAUL THOMMEN, of Barfusserplatz. 25 Bale, Switzerland, Member of Police
Force, 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 the construction of fountain ink pots in such a manner
that the outlet can be conveniently closed for the charging of the pot with ink, the
air inlet being also closed or so arranged as to require no closing, as I shall
describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of one form of fountain
ink pot according to my invention.
A is the body of the pot which can be made of any suitable material, and in
various forms, plain or ornamented; B is the external well into which the pen is
dipped communicating with A by a small conical hole through its bottom b.
There is also through the side of the well an oblique conical hole a by which
bubbles of air can enter when the level of the ink in B is below a, allowing ink to
flow into B until the hole a is sealed.
I provide two taper plugs D and D' which may be of caoutchouc, cork or other
suitable material. With these I close the holes and a when the pot is to be
charged with ink, for which purpose a capsule E is unscrewed from the threaded
neck a¹ and a ground stopper C is taken out. When the pot is charged and the
stopper C replaced, the plugs D and D' can be removed and can be accommodated
under the capsule E so as to provide against their being lost or mislaid. The
well B can be closed by a hinged cover F.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan shewing a modified con-
struction, in which a passage a² a³ is formed for air to pass from the well B to the
space in the upper part of the pot above the ink in A.
By adopting this construction the plug D' is dispensed with, and the ink in the
pot A is not disturbed by ascending air bubbles.
In other respects the construction is the same as in Figs. 1 and 2. Although I
have shewn the pot A closed by a stopper C and capsule E, any other known
means of air tight stoppering may be employed.
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:-
1. In a fountain ink pot, arranging the holes by which ink enters the well and
air enters the pot to be closed by plugs while the pot is charged, substantially as
described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2.
2. In a fountain ink pot arranging the hole by which ink enters the well to be
closed by a plug while the pot is charged, there being a passage for air from the
well to the upper part of the pot, substantially as described with reference
to Figs. 3 and 4.

An Improved Converter for the Manufacture of Iron and Steel.
I, JOSEPH WILMOTTE, of Chênée in the Kingdom of Belgium, Metallurgist,
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 apparatus by means of which the softest iron may be
converted into the hardest steel, and into which, air is blown from above.
The apparatus consists of an ordinary retort or of an iron casting ladle into
which the molten iron is poured and into which air is blown from above through
inclined nozzles located in a circle.
Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing are respectively a vertical section and a plan of the
apparatus of the invention.
A is an air casing. B fire_proof block. C fire proof lining of retort D. E a
pipe in which a second pipe F may be slid up and down and which communicates
with an air supply pipe G. H orifices for observing the molten bath. I nozzle
shaped pipes. J (Fig. 2) mouth of retort. K apparatus for tilting the retort.
L wheel frame.
The object of the invention is to render practicable the conversion, in any
suitable casting ladle, of the softest iron into the hardest steel in from the largest
to the smallest quantity without reference to the capacity of the ladle or to a given
height for the nozzles to act from. This object is attained by the pipe F and
therewith also air vessel A and nozzles I being capable of being raised and lowered
as desired. Also by reason of the inclined position of nozzles 1 and the arrange-
ment of the same in a circle, the air passing through them from above induces a
very rapid rotary current in the bath whereby the formation of iron oxide and dross
is diminished and any temperature may be obtained for the combustible matters
present in the bath.
Very fine castings may be produced with a low air pressure. Further, as the
apparatus works intermittently, it may be stopped as desired and again set to work
and therefore different qualities of iron or steel may be made by one and the same
operation.
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 converter for the manufacture of iron and steel into which air is blown from
above by means of an adjustable slide pipe and in connection therewith inclined
nozzle pipes set out in a circle, substantially as described and shewn.

The object of my invention is to give a better grip to the blind or map
the pulley when rolling the blind or map up or down and securely holding it in
position.
With this object in view I provide at one end of the blind roller the usual or
ordinary pulley the groove of which I prefer to have made corrugated or serrated.
In this groove the cord works. Above the cord I fit preferably by means of a
screw in the sash an annular ring of wood, india rubber or suitable material with or
without pressure which presses on the cord so that when the cord is pulled to roll
up the blind or map the pulley revolves towards the operator and the annular ring
in the contrary direction. The pulley and also the annular ring are fixed
preferably to a bracket fitted by any suitable means to the sash-though they may
be fitted direct to the sash.
The annular ring may be fitted at the bottom or back or in any relation to the
pulley.

when the cord c is moved it revolves the pulley 6 towards the operator and the
annular ring d revolves in a contrary direction or vice versa thus giving a firmer
grip and preventing the blind or map getting out of the desired position as is
generally the case with the usual roller.
I prefer to have the bottom of the blind weighted to keep it in a straight and
even position.
The annular ring d revolves on a small washer which is shown fitted upon a

1, JOHN CHARLES CRAMPIN READ, Works Manager, The Hollies, Shirley,
Warwickshire, 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 provide an improved air spreader, which shall
also act as an air heater or regenerator for the purpose of securing a globular flame
of uniform whiteness and solidity.
1 effect this by means of a perforated disc of sufficient diameter to spread the
flame. Above this disc is fastened a chamber which is either perforated on its
upper surface or is left open at its outer edge. This chamber acts as the air
heater or regenerator and causes complete combustion in the upper portion of the
flame. The air heating chambers are of various forms and may be surmounted by
an air spreader which drives the heated air into the flame.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figs. I and III shew respectively a plan and inverted plan of the same.
the spreader plate having perforations b. Upon the spreader plate a a chamber
is fixed having perforations d. When the lamp is burning air passes up the central
tube e.
Part of this air supports combustion in the lower part of the flame and the
remainder passes through the perforations into the chamber where it is heated ;
it then passes through the perforations d and supports combustion in the upper part
of the flame.
C
Figs. IV and V shew respectively a section and plan of the spreader disc
surmounted by a chamber left open at its outer edge. In this form of spreader the
air passes through the perforations in the disc and, instead of escaping through
perforations in the upper surface of the heating chamber, is carried round and
liberated through the opening f in the outer edge of the heating chamber.
Fig. VI shews a section and Fig. VII a plan of the third form of my
improved spreader. This form of spreader is similar to that described in
Figs. I, II and III with the addition of an air spreader g above the heating
chamber. The air passes through the perforations in the disc into the heating
chamber and out through the perforations in the upper surface of the
heating chamber on to the under side of the air spreader g, which causes it to
enter the upper part of the flame.

An Improved Fore-carriage Swivel Ring for Vehicles.
I, WILHELM NÖHRENHEIM, of 25 St. Marcellenstrasse, Metz, Germany,
Farrier and Smith, 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 swivel rings, as constructed hitherto, to facilitate the steering of four wheeled
vehicles, the lubricant escapes, and accumulates on the sides of the swivel rings,
where it gets mixed with the dust of the street and forms a solid mass, preventing
the easy steering of the vehicle. In consequence the swivel rings have to be cleaned
frequently which occasions a waste of lubricant.
The object of this invention is a swivel ring in which the escape of the lubricant
is prevented.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters refer to like parts throughout the
figures.
Figure 1 is a plan of the grooved lower part of the swivel ring which is connected
to the fore-carriage.
Figure 2 is a section of the same on the line A-A, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view of the upper part of the swivel ring which is connected to the
upper part of the carriage, as seen from below.
Figure 4 is a section of the same on the line B-B.
Figure 5 is a plan of the-combined swivel ring, and
Figure 6 is a side view of the same.
The lower part consists of the ring a of U shaped section, which is attached to
the fore carriage in any convenient manner not shown in the drawings.
The upper part b has projections e which fit into the groove f of the lower ring a,
the rims of the lower ring sliding against the flat rims of the upper ring. The upper
part b. is attached to the upper part of the vehicle in any convenient manner, not
shown in the drawings, and it is provided with a hole d for feeding the
lubricant.
The construction ensures easy steering and prevents waste of lubricant.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
A fore-carriage swivel ring for four-wheeled vehicles, consisting of the upper
part b with projections e, attached to the upper part of the vehicle, and sliding on
the lower part a having a groove f, in which the lubricant is retained after being
fed through the hole d of the upper part b, to prevent the escape of the lubricant
from the swivel ring, substantially as described and illustrated.

and its object or purpose is for holding up the sash weight whilst adjusting the
cord to window sashes-which dispenses with the usual and damaging process of
nailing the cord to the pulley styles whilst being adjusted-the weight keeping it
securely in place, hence it saves time and prevents all chance of damage.
There are no springs or screws to get out of order and its readily removed. It
is so small that it may be carried conveniently in the vest pocket and may always
be at hand. Its cost but very little and will be found indispensable to carpenters,
builders, cabinet-makers and others when putting in sash cords to new windows or
renewing the old, and may be applied to other purposes.
