Improvements in or relating to Adjustable Gasaliers.
I WILHELM SCHNEPEL of 48 Schaeferkampsalleé Hamburg in the Empire of
Germany Mechanic 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 elastic buffer for the sliding or
movable parts of gasaliers which are suspended and intended to be adjustable to
hang at a greater or less height, in order that the shock experienced by the
suspended part when it is pushed or drawn up forcibly against the stop which
limits its highest position may be avoided. When such gasaliers are used for
incandescent gas lights such shocks are liable to destroy the incandescent mantles
of the burner.
The invention is represented in the annexed drawing in which
Fig. 1 shows the upper part of such a gasalier provided with the buffer.
Figs. 2 and 3 show on a larger scale an elevation and a vertical section of said
buffer.
a represents the inner pipe which hangs in a spherical bearing c. b is the
exterior pipe which surrounds pipe a and slides thereon, its crown k being connected
to the counter weights g by chains passing over pulleys d journalled in arms e
attached to pipe a
According to this invention I fix around or on the pipe a a buffer of an elastic
nature such as a ring of rubber, or a spring, or both combined as shown in Figs. 2
and 3. On pipe a is fixed by set screw n a tubular socket surrounding the tube a
and forming an annular chamber. On the socket slides the socket o the lower
end of which carries a rubber buffer ring q. A helical spring t surrounds the
pipe a within the sockets lo having bearing at one end against the rubber ring q
and at the other end against the narrowed part of socket l. p is a fixed ring or
flange on socket 1 limiting the downward movement of socket o.
If the pipe b moves forcibly upwards on the pipe a it will strike the buffer q
which will move upward compressing spring t and cushioning the pipe 6 which will
thus be gradually brought to rest without shock.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is;
1. A device for cushioning the suspended counterweighted parts of an adjustable
gasalier consisting of a buffer composed of rubber or springs or both combined
adapted to meet said parts and receive their impact immediately below their
highest position for the purpose set forth.
2. The construction of buffer as described in Claim 1 consisting of two
sockets othe one sliding on the other, the upper one being connected to pipe a
the lower one terminating in a rubber ring q, and a spring, or equivalent means for
elastically extending said sockets.

An Appliance for Supporting the Tubes of Water Tube Boilers.
I, ALFRED FERNANDEZ YARROW, of Isle of Dogs, Poplar, in the County of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The comparatively small tubes employed in many water tube boilers are sometimes
apt to become distorted from their original shape whether such tubes are curved or
straight; my invention relates to an appliance for supporting such tubes and
preventing them from becoming distorted.
For this purpose I insert between two rows of the tubes at suitable parts of their
lengths, tube holders each consisting of a pair of comparatively thin metal pieces having
their edges made with semi-circular hollows, one to receive each tube. This tube
holder, being thin, can be readily introduced between the two rows with its sides
parallel to the tubes, and can then be turned one quarter round so that its hollows
receive the tubes on each side of it, which are thus prevented from approaching each
other.
The other rows of tubes being similarly provided with holders, all the tubes of
the group lend each other mutual support preventing the distortion of any one of
them.
Each half tube holder may be employed as a tube scraper, being moved along the
surfaces of the tubes in the direction of their length thus clearing the tube from
depcsit.

An Improved Tool Bag or Wallet, principally for Attachment
to Cycles.
I, ERNST LABENZ, of Homberg in Cassel, in the Empire of Germany, Saddler
and Upholsterer, 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 re ates to a tool wallet for cycles, which is distinguished by its
solid construction and especially by its form which allows of its arrangement
on the cycle in such a manner that it is not a hindrance to the cyclist in any
way
Hitherto such wallets have usually been fixed on the back of the saddle.
This wallet on the contrary is fixed on the back tubes or fork of the rear
wheel and lies therefore under the saddle and cannot hinder the cyclist in any
way.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 shows the vertical section of the wallet in closed
position, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the open wallet, and in Fig. 3 is shown the
arrangement of the wallet on a cycle.
The wallet consists essentially of a casing constructed of strong leather plates ay
which has the form of a quadrangular prism. The one open side, which lies
behind when the wallet is fixed on the cycle, is closed by a door c turning on its
under edge round the hinge joint b.
The upper part of the open side carries a cross plate d in which is arranged a
turn-button e, by which the door is kept closed, the latter having on the opposite
side a corresponding slit f.
On the inner side of the door c is sewn a semicircular pocket g to receive the
oil can. The wallet is fixed by means of two straps arranged on its back and
which are buckled on the back tubes or rear wheel fork of the cycle frame. In
order that the wallet can be buckled as close as possible to the meeting point of the
back and the upper tubes and thus lie completely under the saddle, the back wall
of the wallet is inclined inwards at a'. From Fig. 3 it will be seen, that such
wallet arranged on the back fork of the cycle does not hinder the cyclist when
seated on the saddle, because the wallet is arranged under the latter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A wallet principally for use of cyclists, consisting of a prismatic leather case
with a door c swinging downwards round the hinge joint 6 and provided on the
inner side with a small pocket for an oil can, the wallet being adapted to be fixed
by means of straps h on the back wheel fork of the cycle.

A Shield for an Incandescent Gas Mantle.
1, JAMES ANDERSON, of Eton Villa, Pembury Road, Tonbridge, in the County
of Kent, 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 :-
The fragile mantles used for incandescent gas lighting are apt to become
injured and to a certain extent disintegrated at the lower edges by the shaking
which results from the passage of air currents to the flame. The present
invention has for its object to prevent this injury and thereby reuder the
mantles more durable.
For this purpose, as shewn in section in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing,
which is an elevation of part of an incandescent gas burner and mantle, an
annular shield S, which may be stamped from thin sheet metal, is suspended by
an inner turned in lip on the edge of the burner, and the mantle M is supported
in the usual way at such a level that its lower edge extends into the trough like
hollow of the shield where it is sheltered from the air currents.
Instead of inaking the shield in one piece as shewn in Fig. 1 it may be made as
shewn in Fig. 2, of an inner shell A of metal, and an outer cylinder G preferably
higher than the internal shell so as more effectually to protect the lower edge of
the mantle, and made of glass so as not to intercept much light.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A shield for an incandescent gas mantle, substantially as described and
illustrated.

Improvements connected with the Front Rail of Kitohen Fenders.
I, JOHN DANIEL, Manager of The Crown Hardware Company, of
34, Corporation Street, Halifax, in the County of York, Kitchen, Fender and
Hardware 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 has reference to the front rail or top bar of kitchen fenders,
the primary object of my invention being to dispense with rivetting in the snill
top rail.
Hitherto it has been customary to rivet to the top rail a vertical bar which bar
has also been riveted to the front of the fender.
According to invention I form a plate or flange underneath the top rail and
it is made of same piece of metal.
This flare now propose to rivet to the front of the fender by which means
there are do rivets in the front top rail.
Sue being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
he same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the aunexed sheet of
drawings, where A is the front rail or top bar, and I form on the underside thereof
a flange B. This flange is composed of the same piece of metal as the rail A. and
it is formed by being rolled or drawn or by any other suitable and convenient
meaus. The flange B is secured to the front of the fender C by any suitable
number of rivets D. By this means the fender is strong and of substantial make
and the rivets which used to be in the top bar are dispensed with and all the
inconveniences appertaining thereto.
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 :-
The formation of flange B on the undersido of front rail A for purposes
described and as. illustrated in the drawings.

An Improved Method of Purifying Molasses, Syrup, or other
Solution of Sugar by Means of Animal Charcoal.
I, CARL FREDRIK KASTENGREN, of 39 and 41 Norrlandsgatan, Stockholm, in
the Kingdom of Sweden, Director, 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 :-
For purifying solutions of sugar such solutions are usually filtered through
animal charcoal at a temperature of 50°-80° C., but this process requires a great
amount of time and a large quantity of animal charcoal, by which reason it is not
advantageous in an economical respect.
My invention has for its object an improved method by means of which the
purifying may be executed in a short time and without such a large amount of
animal charcoal.
According to my improved method the solution of sugar (sugar-juice, syrup or
molasses) to be purified is heated in a closed vessel with animal charcoal to
temperatures beyond 100° C. (105°-130° C. or more), and thus heated under pressure,
until it has obtained the degree of purity desired, which may be determined by trials.
The duration of the treatment of course depends on the degree of purity of the
solution to be treated, and also of the degree of pressure and the amount of
animal charcoal used, but that duration may be limited to one hour or less, as
experiments have proved, and is thus considerably shorter than the time required
in the usual purifying with animal charcoal.
The pressure may of course also be obtained in another way, than by heating to
over 100° C. for instance by compressing air in the vessel, and in such a case the
degree of heat may be less than 100° C. (as low as 50° C.).
Apparently the animal charcoal by the action of the pressure used in my method
obtains a greater capacity to absorb the impurities of the solution.
The process is especially suitable in the treatment of such impure solutions of
sugar (molasses), which have already been purified by treatment with sulphite of
calcium under pressure, because the sulphuric acid remaining in such solution after
such treatment, is completely removed by subsequent treatment with animal
charcoal as above described, the product then becoming free from sulphuric acid
and decolorated in an essential degree.
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 :-
An improved method of purifying sugar, molasses or other solution of sugar by
treating the liquid with animal charcoal under pressure in a closed vessel.

Improvements in Horse Scrapers.
I THOMAS SEDGWICK of Golden Lion Hotel, Harpurhey, Manchester, Hotel
Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My said invention relates to improvements in scrapers used for cleaning horses.
Hitherto it has been usual to employ a scraper of metal which when used with
sufficient pressure to remove wet and dirt is apt to hurt the horse especially when
passing over sore or tender places besides taking a considerable time to express the
moisture from the hair.
According to my said invention I use a strip or band of rubber provided with
suitable handles. In combination with the rubber to prevent its buckling or
twisting I use a plate or plates of thin metal vulcanite or other similarly stiff' yet
elastic material.
The plate or plates may be embedded in the rubber or attached to one or both
sides thereof and are preferably continued into the handles.
In lieu of a plate or plates I may in some cases use a flat or flattened coil of
wire.

I, AUGUST SEBELIN, of Niemannsweg 83, Kiel in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
The subject of the present invention is a novelty which affords a suitable and
practical improvement in glove fasteners of the well-known kind. With these
fasteners the fastening has heretofore been effected by causing one glove flap to
overlap the other, whereas according to the present invention the fastening cap
or clip is arranged so as to project beyond its flap and is jointed by means of a
hinge.
The new fastener is represented in the accompanying drawing.
It will be seen from Figures 1, 2 and 3 which are respectively front part sectional
elevation, plan, and plan in situ respectively, that the cap k is jointed by a hinge s
to the part t, in order that, on being pressed upon the spring button, the glove
may be fastened, the part t being secured to one glove flap and the spring button f
to the other.
For the sake of symmetry the part t is exactly of the same shape as the cap k,
and the fastening of this part may also be effected in such a manner that it forms
at the same time a cap and is pressed upon a spring head. This has the advantage
that the glove may conveniently be opened to one or the other side.
By such means I am enabled to produce a fastening that is at once neat and
effective and which is easy of manipulation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what 1
claim is :-
A glove fastener, characterised by the feature that the cap k to be pressed upon
a spring button f of one glove flap projects on the other flap and is jointed by a
hinges to the part t secured thereto substantially as hereinbefore described.

An Appliance for Facilitating the Cleansing of Surfaces, applicable
also for Drilling Holes.
I, WALTER WYKESMITH, of St. Margarets, Wimborne, in the County of Dorset,
Surgeon do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an appliance for facilitating cleansing of surfaces and
drilling holes. For cleansing an external surface, such as the nave of a velocipede
wheel, I employ a band or strip of leather or fabric having its surface arranged
as a brush or otherwise made suitable for cleansing. I attach one end of this band
or strip to a spring, which may be a spring tape such as that used
for measuring purposes or may be a caoutchouc, helical or other extensible
spring then passing the band or strip round or partly round the
article to be cleaned, I take hold of the other end with the hand or
attach it to the foot and moving the hand or foot backwards and forwards thus
cause the band or strip to rub round the surface, cleansing it. For cleansing
internal surfaces, I fix a suitable cleansing head on a spindle which can rotate
freely in a handle and round a pulley on this spindle I pass a band or strip having
its one end attached to the spring and the other to the hand or foot by moving
which the spindle with the cleansing head is caused to rotate to and fro within
the internal surface cleansing it. By adapting to the spindle a drill instead of the
cleansing head, the appliance may be used for drilling holes.

A communication to me from CARL HISGEN, of No. 42, Mainzerstrasse, Worms,
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, 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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
This invention has for its object an improved apparatus for easily raising doors,
in order that they may be readily either entirely or partly lifted off their hinges,
without any other appliance.
In the accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the invention,
Figure 1 shews a side view of the improved apparatus in position for raising
the door.
Figure 2 shews the same door with the lever pressed down and the door
raised.
Figures 3 and 4 shew the raising apparatus separately in side view and in plan,
upon a larger scale.
The improved apparatus consists of an S-shaped lever a, having arms of unequal
length, and pivotted at 6 in a bracket c.
The lever a has at its shorter arm a widened or shovel-shaped end d thinned
at its outer edge, whilst the longer arm is provided with a suitably-shaped foot
plate e.
The operation of the improved door-raising apparatus is as follows:-
The plate d is inserted under the door F, Figure 1, so that the plate e of the
lever a is in its raised position. The plate e is then pressed down with the foot, as
shewn in Figure 2, until it rests upon the ground, the door F being thus raised by
the plate d, and this lift can be made so that the hinge s' is raised entirely or only
partly, from the lower hinges. According to the height of the lift required, the
lever k can be more or less bent or S-shaped.
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:
The apparatus for raising doors, consisting of a curved S-shaped lever pivotted
in a bracket c, and having arms of unequal length, the shorter arm having a
widened and thinned shovel-shaped end d, whilst the longer arm is provided with
a foot-plate e, substantially as described and illustrated.

Engines.
We, JOHN BENTLEY, GEORGE BENTLEY, and JAMES NUTTALL, all of Lodge
Bank Works, Bury, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The steel or iron bars in pulping, beating, or refining engines, when used for
manipulating wood pulp or other material which has been boiled in acid are liable
to rapid deterioration under the action of the acid which is as a rule never
thoroughly washed from the pulp before it is admitted to the engine.
According to this invention this objection is overcome in a simple and efficient
manner by facing or covering the steel or iron bars with a deposit of copper or
other metal not liable to be injured by the action of the acid, this having the
effect of efficiently protecting the steel or iron of the bars from injury by
the acid.

manner by facing or covering the steel or iron bars with a deposit of copper or
other metal not liable to be injured by the action of the acid this having the effect
of efficiently protecting the steel or iron of the bars from injury by the acid. The
covering with copper or equivalent metal may be effected in any convenient
manner for example by effecting an electro-deposition of the copper or other metal
employed upon the bars before they are put in place or they may first be put in
place and the electro-deposition be afterwards effected.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
In, or for, pulping, beating, or refining engines used for manipulating wood pulp
or other material which has been boiled in or treated with acid; steel or iron bars 6
faced or covered with a deposit of copper or other metal not liable to be injured by

Safety-device or Construction for Workmen's Garments and
the like.
I, MAX HEYMANN of Rheinische Strasse No. 15, Dortmund 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 :-
Many accidents in factories aud the like are caused by the clothing of the
workmen being seized by shafts, couplings, toothed wheels and the like and the
workmen being thus drawn into the machinery. All the efforts of a workman to
get rid by force of his clothing when seized by a machino, are generally without
Buccess as the cloth used for working-suits is generally very strong and untearable.
This invention relates to working garments, the different parts of which are
connected together casily and can be detached easily, if any part of the garment
is seized by a machine in movement.
In the nunexed drawing
Fig. 1 shows a coat provided with this safety-arrangement,
Figs. 2 and 3 show in view and in section the easily detachable connecting
devices.
The coat consists of the parts a, b, b' and the sleeves c, c'. The connection
between these parts is effected by superposing the edges of the single, hemmed
parts d and e, Figs. 2 aud 3. The connection between these edges is effected by
a spring-operated button-closure f. If any part of the coat for instance the
sleeve is seized by a moving machine then the part o can be loosened easily
from the other parts a. b, as the button-closure fopens automatically on receiving
a strong pull. Trousers, blouses, waist-coats and other garments can also be made
according to this system.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invon-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that, what I
claim is :
Safety device or construction for workmen's garments, in which the hemmed
parts such as a, b, b, c, d are not sewn together, but are superposed as at d, e and
are hold together by means of a spring operated button closure f for the purpose
set forth.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 new alimentary substance which is termed "Proteique or poudre ovo-
lactee" (ovi-lacteal powder) is formed exclusively from the combination of eggs
and milk.
The said substance is prepared in the following manner :
The component materials, that is to say eggs and milk, are first of all submitted
under pressure to a suitable and proportionately high temperature in drying
appliances of the ordinary kind, this temperature being combined with a gradual
diminution of pressure, in order that perfect desiccation may be produced.
When the component materials have been desiccated in this manner they are
reduced to powder and mixed in the proportion of about 65 per cent. of egg elements
to 35 per cent. of milk elements.
Preferably the temperature is elevated gradually by means of a lamp or other
source of heat, until a temperature of 50° C. is obtained. At the same time the
pressure is reduced by means of suitable pumps or other devices so that evaporation
takes place at a pressure of about 50 mm. The process occupies about three
hours.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. A process of manufacturing an alimentary product called: "Proteique
"poudre ovo-lactee" (ovi-lacteal powder) having this characteristic feature
that the substances used to form the above product to wit: egg and milk, are
desiccated under pressure at a proportionately high temperature, this pressure
being gradually diminished and the desiccated substances being subsequently mixed
in the proportion of about 65 per cent. of egg substance to 35 per cent. of milk
substance.
2. The new product obtained by the above described process.

Improvements in Machinery for Cutting and Punching Leather, also
applicable to Heel Building Machines.
I, WILLIAM PARKER BROUGH, of Springfield, Kettering, in the County of
Northampton, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improved machine for cutting and punching leather which forms the subject
of my invention is designed to provide a simple and efficient apparatus thoroughly
under the control of the operator which will punch or cut at each revolution of the
driving shaft or at any desired interval.
The machine is constructed in the following manner. An eccentric mounted on
the shaft of the machine carries a link bearing a lever handle attached to it at a right
angle. In the lower part of the link is formed a slot of shape in which the pin
of the plunger works. On the opposite side to the lever handle I arrange a spring
of any suitable construction so as to press against the link and retain it in such
a position, that the plunger pin slides freely up and down the perpendicular part of
the slot as the link is moved by the eccentric. This perpendicular part being slightly
longer than the stroke of the link there is consequently no pressure exerted on the
pin. As soon however as the lever handle is depressed the link is pushed back
against the spring and the plunger pin engages in the horizontal portion of the slot
and moves in unison with the link, thus actuating the plunger and the punch or cutter
attached to it. As soon as the operator releases the lever handle, the spring throws
the link forward, and the plunger pin is disengaged.
I have described my invention as applied to machines in which the cutting
mechanism is below the shaft and eccentric, but in certain machines for cutting
leather or the like the position may be advantageously reversed and the cutting or
punching stroke delivered from below upwards.
