COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Casks or Barrels.
I, LEONTINE OTHON, of 72 Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, in the Republic
of France, 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 for improvements in the manufacture of casks or barrels relates
to metal casks and has for its object to provide a cask of such construction as not
to be readily damaged by rough usage, and one which can be entirely emptied of
its contents, and thoroughly cleansed before re-filling.
Stamped casks of ordinary construction present two principal disadvantages.
1st. The projecting edges left at the ends to form the cross groove not being
strengthened in the manufacture are easily dented or damaged and rendered unfit
for use.
2nd. These edges prevent the casks being entirely emptied and also prevent
their perfect cleansing.
To remove these disadvantages I have designed the improvement shown in the
annexed drawing in which ;-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of part of a cask as it leaves the stamping machine.
Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 showing the sides of the cask ribbed.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of part of a cask constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation to a larger scale of part of a cask of modified
construction.
The outer surface of the cask a is contracted in diameter for a short distance
from each end b to receive a hoop c which is expanded by heating and afterwards
shrunk securely on to the end of the cask with one of its edges projecting a short
distance beyond the same.
In the inodification shown in Fig. 4 the hoop c is indented on one side to form
projections d on the opposite side which take into corresponding indentations c
formed on the surface of the cask.
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. In casks or barrels with flat bottoms, the application of a band on the
contracted circumference of the stamping, substantially as described.
2. The improvements in the manufacture of casks or barrels substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Lighting Cigars and Cigarettes.
We, ROBERT WILLIAM RUTHERFORD, Manufacturer, and JOHN ALFRED
JACKSON, Cigarette Manufacturer, both of 2, Commercial Chambers, Manse.
Street, Dunedin in the Colony of New Zealand, 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 our invention is to provide a simple adjunct to cigars and
cigarettes, whereby the same may be readily lighted when rubbed upon the prepared
frictional surface of the box without having recourse to matches.
We are aware that attempts have been made to effect the object of our invention
prior to our application for Letters Patent. Such attempts have, however,
proved abortive for various reasons, such as disagreeable odour or taste arising
from the fusing material, or such as the fusing material extinguishing unless
the cigar or cigarette was immediately applied to the mouth and air drawn
through the same.
With our invention we overcome these objections and difficulties, and provide a
means of lighting cigars and cigarettes which is effective, has no unpleasant odour
or taste, and is not injurious to the smoker.
We carry out the object of our invention by making the cigars and cigarettes in
a similar manner to that at present obtaining, but we tip the ends with a composition
which may be lighted by friction when rubbed upon a prepared surface.
The composition which we employ upon the ends of the cigars or cigarettes is
made up of the following ingredients, and in the proportions given which are by
weight.

page_text: mislaid or forgotten is avoided, and means for lighting the articles to be smoked
are always present and may be used without unpleasant or hurtful consequences.
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. In improvements in means for lighting cigars and cigarettes, the composition
for applying to the ends of the same, substantially as and for the purposes set forth
herein.
2. In improvements in means for lighting cigars and cigarettes, the combination
of the cigar or cigarette having the composition applied to its end, with a box

Improvements in the Manufacture of Soft and other Soaps.
I, WILLIAM HANLEY, of Far Lane, Gorton, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Soap 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 chiefly to the manufacture of soft soap but may also be
applied to the manufacture of other soaps.
Hitherto in the manufacture of soft soap it is customary to use a certain percentage
of carbonate of potash which has been considered indispensable. I find however
that muriate of potash may with advantage be used in substitution for the carbonate
and that a better soap is produced thereby.
In carrying out the invention I employ linseed cotton seed olive or fish oil which
are treated and saponified in the usual way with caustic potash in the usual
proportion but with muriate of potash substituted for carbonate of potash which
I find produces a better soap.
A soap thus produced may consist of about
40% of oil or fatty matter.
40% of water.
7% of caustic potash.
4% of muriate of potash.
9% of glycerine and other ingredients.
In hard or common soaps in which potash is used the muriate of potash may be
used as a substitute for the carbonate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
In the manufacture of soft and other soaps the use or combination of muriate
of potash as a substitute for carbonate of potash substantially as described.

JAMES HENRY BOOLDS Woodlands Road Middlesbro Shipyard Manager do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists of a cylinder connected to bulkhead having a movable piston with rod
connected to the watertight sliding door, this door being operated by admission o
steam at either end of cylinder through a slide valve, cock, or other means thus
causing the piston and rod to move to either end of the cylinder thus opening or
closing the watertight sliding door that is attached to it. The slide valve, cock or
other means is worked by a hand lever at deck height connected to a similar hand

An Improved Arrangement for Opening and Closing Watertight
Sliding Doors through Bulkheads in Ships.
JAMES HENRY BOOLDS Woodlands Middlesbrough Shipyard Manager 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 consists of a closed cylinder A attached by any means to a bulkhead or any
support of a ship, in any position, having holes B and C at each end, for the
admission and exhaustion of steam. Inside and fitting close, to the sides of the
cylinder is a moveable piston D, to which is attached by any means, a rod E.
This rod slides through a stuffing box F of any description at one or both ends of
the cylinder, to any length, and connected by any means to one or more watertight
doors through bulkheads. To any convenient part of the cylinder, or bulkhead is
attached a three way plug cock G having connected to it by any means a pipe H
for the supply of steam, two pipes J and K leading from it, and connected by any
means to the cylinder over the holes B and C, and a pipe Ĺ for the exhaustion of
steam.
A slide or other valve may be fitted in place of the cock G to perform the same
duties.
It works in the following manner :-
By means of the hand lever M the plug of the cock G is turned, admitting steam
into the cylinder from the pipe H through the pipe J, the steam of the previous
stroke exhausting through the pipes K and L or vice versa, the steam admitted fron
the pipe H through the pipe K and exhausted through the pipes J and L, forces
the piston to the opposite end, the action of which acting through the rod E
or closes the watertight door or doors conuected to it.

Improvements in and relating to Windows and their Frames.
I, JOHN MCNAB, of 49 Forebank, Dundee, in the County of Forfar, Scotland,
Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in windows and their frames, the object
being to enable both sides of the window panes to be cleaned from within.
In carrying out my invention I employ two hinges for the lower sash, fastening
these in a permanent fashion to one of the inside beads or "batten rods," one being
near the top and the other near the bottom of the style. The free leaves of these
hinges are provided with slots. Fixed to the style are two engaging bolts or
thumb screws, one being placed opposite to, or in line with each hinge. The
cord of the balance weight which is opposite to the hinges is made so that it can
be disengaged and caught by a hook fixed in any suitable position. In opening
the window the engaging bolts are brought opposite the hinges, the heads of such
bolts being set so that they may permit of the free leaves being placed against
the style, the bolt heads being then in the slots. By turning these heads the
hinges are fastened to the style. The cord of the balance weight is then detached
and caught by its hook, and the lower sash is ready to be opened.
The upper sash is provided with two angle pieces, one at the one side and the
other at the other side of the face of the top rail. These angle pieces are also
provided with slots. The meeting rail of the bottom sash has fixed to it two
engaging bolts similar to those previously referred to and placed opposite their
respective slots in the angle pieces. The parting bead on the side opposite the
hinges is cut near the top of the lower sash and made so that it may be withdrawn,
or preferably it is cut in two places and hinged at the bottom and about the
middle of the lower sash so that it may be folded upon itself and then laid along
the bottom of the window frame.
In opening this upper sash, the lower sash is first opened, the parting bead is
withdrawn or folded down, the upper sash is lowered and hung on the lower sash
by means of the angle pieces and their bolts, the cord of its balance weight is
disengaged and attached to its hook. It may then be opened.

An Improved Felt Shoulder Pad for Coats, Jackets, and the like.
WILLIAM HENRY SLADDIN of Brighouse in the County of York Woollen 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 :-
This invention for which I request Royal Letters Patent, has for its object the utili-
zation of thinner felt instead of being obliged to use very thick felt in the piece, by a
simple device or happy thought, namely the insertion of a wedge shaped bit of the
same material at that particular part of the pad, which is placed where the shoulder
requires lifting or raising. The present or ordinary method is to use very thick felt,
and taper off from the centre to the edges, by cutting or shaving with knives,
producing great waste by the process, but by this improvement much thinner felt may
be used, thus reducing the cost, and producing less waste. The cost of having to
use very thick felt is such, that many firms are prevented from buying pads, but by
the application of this invention thinner felt may be used, which is much less expensive.
The extra thickness is only required at the middle of the straight edge so that the
insertion of a wedge shaped bit produces the result required, and at the same time
the pad is reversible.
The gash or slit is cut with a knife, & the bit is inserted & is fastened into the
aperture by stitches, so as to bend freely; by means of this discovery, or invention, we
can bring down the price of shoulder pads, so as to be within the reach of all, and at
the same time find employment for a greater number of people, than have hitherto
been employed in this additional industry.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
The line drawn from C to D shews where the pad is the thickest.
The row of stitching to prevent the felt from fraying out is shewn by the dotted
line on the semi-circle, or outer edge of pad, the accompanying sketches, as will be
seen at a glance are other views of the same thing though the same or similar wedged
shape bit is applied to many other shapes besides this one here illustrated.
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. An improved method of constructing a felt shoulder pad, by the insertion of a
wedge shaped bit as described.
2. That the process above described is less costly, & produces less waste.
3. A row of stitching on the thinnest edge to prevent the felt from fraying out as
explained.

Improvements in Labels or Tickets in Rolls.
I, ALFRED WILLIAMSON, of North Mill Printing Works, Ashton-under-Lyne,
in the County of Lancaster, Ticket Printer, 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 improved labels or tickets in rolls principally designed
for the use of corn millers but may be applied to other purposes.
It consists essentially of labels or tickets formed of calico or other cloth in a
continuous band or ribbon wound into a roll and perforated at intervals to divide
one ticket from the next each ticket or label being printed with a consecutive
number, punched with a hole to receive a string and printed with the name of any
particular mill or firm and with the description of the goods trade mark or any
.ther matter.
The invention will be fully described with reference to accompanying drawings
In which a roll of my improved calico tickets is illustrated.
The calico out of which the tickets are to be made is cut into strips or lengths
of any desired width and these strips so cut are perforated to form separate tickets
or labels in any length which can be torn off or detached as required. Each of
these tickets or labels is printed with a consecutive number and punched (or not)
with a hole whereby to attach it to a sack or other package. On the face of the
ticket or label is printed the name and address of the firm the name of the
material trade mark or other matter required.
The example illustrated in the drawing is intended for coru millers use to be
affixed to sacks. Upon the strip of calico A there are cut at intervals transverse
lines of perforations a which divide it into the tickets or labels B. The hole C can
be punched in any position to facilitate the attaching of the ticket to a sack and
the consecutive number D is printed wherever required. On the ticket is printed
the name of the firm or mill and the contents of the sack, trade mark or any other
matter.
The labels may be prepared in various colours of cloth one colour being
appropriated to one kind of material so that the contents of the sack or package
can be easily distinguished by the colour of the label.
The labels being in rolls and perforated they can be easily detached each
consecutive number following they cannot be misplaced and therefore effect a
great saving of time in rectifying errors which often occur with other kinds of
labels.
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 number of labels or tickets composed of calico or other cloth formed in a
continuous band or ribbon and wound into a roll after being perforated, punched,
and printed on the face substantially as described.

WALTER ARCHDEACON "The Rising Sun" Blackfriars Road, S.E. Publican 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 portable table its object being to easily enclose it in a
walking stick.
The construction for its stand is. A hollow stick made of wood-thin metal or
other suitable material cut into 3 sections, each section is pivotted on a ring in the
middle of stick and when opened forms a tripod and when closed the sections are held
together by a cap with a bayonet catch or a screw cap forming the handle of any
shape.
The construction for the table is a metal frame in the form of ribs which are
covered with silk or any material and sliding on a centre rod the whole opening out
into a flat top called the table. The separate table is placed or laid upon the top of
the sections of the open stick and the table is lightly held or attached to each section
by a suitable clip hook and eye or other form of attachment. This fastening also
serves to prevent the accidental closing of the 3 sections.
The top of table is when closed rolled round the ribs of frame and the whole placed
in the hollow of the stick.

Improvements in and connected with Driving Gear for Velocipedes
and other Machines Driven by the Feet, Hands, or other Motive
Power.
I, JOHN FINLAYSON, of Johannesburgh, South African Republic, Railway
Constructor, 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 and more simple and effective means for
driving velocipedes and other machines driven by the feet or hands, or other
motive power, and consists of an endless fine twisted wire rope, or of a single wire
made of steel or other suitable metal, and having chilled metal balls strung at
regular distances along its length, which may be brazed on to the rope or wire, or
be fixed to it in some other equally effective and satisfactory manner. The rope
passes over two grooved pulleys, the driver and the driven. The bases of the
grooves in the pulleys are accurately turned to the diameter of the rope and the
pulleys are to have recesses bored into the bases and sides of the grooves at regular
intervals, corresponding exactly with the distances between the balls on the wire
rope and into which each ball naturally falls and fits as the rope passes over the
pulleys causing the latter to revolve on power being applied to one or the other of
them.
Fig. 1. shows the endless wire rope A with the balls a attached and the pulleys B
and C in proper position for working.
Fig. 2 is the same as Fig. 1 but in longitudinal section so as to show the base
of the groove b the recesses in which the balls fit and the manner in which the
balls fall into the recesses and maintain the grip.
Fig. 3. is a cross section through one of the pulleys.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is :-
In driving gear for velocipedes or other machines driven by hand, foot, or other
motive power, the use of an endless wire rope, or of a single wire, made of steel or
other suitable material, working in pulleys having suitable grooves turned on their
peripheries with recesses in the bases and sides of the grooves, and having chilled
metal balls brazed, or fixed in an equally effective manner, at regular intervals
along its length, for the purposes aforesaid substantially as hereinbefore set forth
and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improved Holder for Photographic Negatives and Films.
CHARLES EDWARD FEW Seal Vicarage Sevenoaks Kent Clerk in Holy Orders do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of holding photographic plates and
films for washing and drying purposes; by means of which plates of any size can be
readily washed, without danger of abrasion of gelatine film, and in any ordinary vessel.
For this purpose I stamp, mould or press bands of suitable material, into two or more
grooves; in shapes convenient to hold the plate or film, without injuring the surface.
These grooved plates are then placed at opposite sides of the plate or film, and are
then held together by one or more elastic bands. Though I prefer the use of an
elastic band, other means such as a spring might be used.
I may for convenience affix a hook to the grooved plates, from which a string could
be passed to suspend the holder; or a hole might be drilled through the holder for the
same purpose.

JOHN JAMES ROPE, 18 Hyde Park Place, London, W. England, Refreshment
Contractor 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 invention consists of a rim or covering (Fig. 1) of metal or other suitable
material formed to the shape of the margin or raised edge or border of the plate
or dish for which it is intended with flanges on the inner and part of the outer
edge (Fig. 1A and 1B) the outer edge not being flanged sufficiently to prevent the
rim or covering from being easily fitted on to the plate or dish.
The rim or covering is secured in position by one or more spring clips as
in Fig. 1° such clip or clips having a hinge or hinges at the base (where fixed to
the rim) fixing or releasing the rim or covering according to whether the clip or
clips is or are closed or opened.
By fitting such rim or covering on to an ordinary plate or dish and thereby
covering the margin or raised edge or border of such plate or dish a metal
mounted or rimmed plate or dish is obtained e.g. an ordinary soup plate fitted
with the rim or covering becomes an entrée dish suitable for use in restaurants or
elsewhere.
The invention results in
(1) Economy by reason of the further use to which a plate or dish may be
thereby put.
(2) Cleanliness with little labour.
(3) Convenience and economy of space.
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 rim or covering (detailed description whereof is above set forth)

page_text: enabling ordinary plates and dishes to be speedily temporarily and cheaply adapted
to a diversity of uses for which they are at present unsuitable.
(2) The clip or clips (also above described) for fixing the said rim or
covering.

Improved Bath Gloves and similar Articles and Materials for
Friction or Grip.
Mrs. ELLEN BARRON 8 Islington Green, London, N. Designer and Skilled
Worker in Rubber Goods 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 invention consists of knitting cured rubber thread into the article required
such as bath gloves grip handles and the like the process is the same as ordinary
knitting which process has never before been applied to rubber.
The nature of the cured rubber thread employed in the manufacture of the
improved bath gloves and other articles afore mentioned is varied according to
special mode of the manufacturer, that to which we give preference is the vulcanised
thread manufactured by Chas. McIntosh & Co. Manchester, obtained by us, direct
from the manufacturers, although, on sale at most rubber stores, the threads
manufactured by Wm. Warne & Co. Tottenham & others; are also available, and
suitable, although the manner of curing is not the same. The thread itself is cut
from cured sheets of rubber. The thread obtained from the manufacturers we
knit with ordinary knitting needles after the common manner of knitting.
The result of this process, is a rough surfice material; free from stickiness, and
other objections, attending goods made from corrugated, or rough surfice rubbers,
and cured after manufacture.
Having now particularly discribed 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 sole right to manufacture bath gloves, grip handles, and similar articles,

page_text: and materials for friction or grip, by the process (of knitting. rubber thread)
aforediscribed.
2nd. The sole right to manufacture knitted rubber goods of all descriptions, as
the originater, and true, and sole inventor of the process of manufacturing rubber
goods by means of knitting the rubber thread unaided, and unmixed with any other.
material.
3rd. The true novelty lies in the process of manufacture, knitting rubber
thread.
