An Improved Portable Folding Steps.
I, GUSTAVE CHAILLET of Clarens Switzerland, Builder, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The portable steps which are the subject of the present Specification may be
made in any size, and with any number of treads.
In the accompanying drawings it will be seen that the uprights A, A, form a frame
in the form of a cross or X of which the upper part is smaller than the lower part,
and the summits of the uprights are connected by the uppermost tread B, of the
steps. This upper step B, is divided longitudinally and its two halves are
connected by hinge-joints, and they are similarly connected to the summits of the
uprights.
Fig. 1 shows the steps open and Fig. 2 shows them closed.
When the steps are opened for use the divided tread B, opens flat as shewn in
Fig. 1 and thus regulates at the same time the spread of the lower part of the
frame.
To close the steps it is necessary to fold the top tread B, as shewn in Fig. 2, and
the frame A, A, closes itself at the same time.
The other treads of the steps are carried by the folding arms C, C, ending in the
hinge-joints b, b, by which they are connected to the upright A, and held in a
horizontal position by means of the projecting lugs e, c, e. In this position the
supporting Ings cannot leave the recesses in which they fit, as they are held by the
pivot-joints b, b, b. One or more of the stay-rods D, in the forepart of the treads
allow them to be easily raised or lowered together.
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 combination of the uprights A, forming a folding cross-frame, with the
upper tread B divided and made to fold, and with any number of arms C, having
lugs, said arms carrying treads and connected by one or more stay-rods D, as
herein explained and set forth.

Improvements in Woven Wire Mattresses and Bedstead Bottoms.
I FRED ROWCLIFFE of Levenshulme in the County of Lancaster 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 :-
The object of this invention is to strengthen woven wire mattresses and bedstead
bottoms and at the same time to improve the appearance of the same.
My invention consists in interweaving or combining together in the same mattress
or bedstead bottom stripes or lengths formed by coils of two or more different
diameters made from wire of different thickness as hereafter explained; and in
order that my invention may be clearly understood I have annexed hereto a sheet
of drawings illustrative thereof and marked with figures and letters of reference
corresponding with those of the following explanation.
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of one edge of one of my improved wire mattresses or
bedstead bottoms.
Fig. 2 is a plan view drawn to a much smaller scale of a woven wire mattress,
shewing how my invention may be applied in the manufacture thereof.
According to my invention wherever the web of the mattress or bedstead bottom
requires to be strengthened (say for example as shewn at Fig. 2) I form a stripe or
stripes a of a coil or coils of larger diameter than the main portion 6 of the said
web and of thicker wire; and by this means I not only gain strength at the required
parts, but I also greatly improve the appearance of the mattress or bedstead
bottom.
The difference in the diameter of the coils and the strength of the wire will be
readily understood on reference to the partial section Fig. 1. where it will also be
seen that the part a is not only stronger than the part but being made of larger
coils forms a raised stripe at the edge or other part where it is woven in the web.
I would remark in conclusion that I do not limit myself to any number of coils
in the strengthening stripe nor to any thickness of wire or diameter of coil as these
may vary even in the same stripe.
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 I
claim is :-
In a woven wire mattress or bedstead bottom the combination of coils of two or
more different diameters and two or more thicknesses of wire to form the web,
substantially as and for the purposes herein before described.

New Manufacture of Composition for Blotting or Absorbing Liquids.
We, ALFRED BÜRKEL, Chemist, Ritterstr. 27, Bremen, and CARL OSTERWALD,
Merchant, Domsheide 6, Bremen, 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 blotting inks and absorbing readily flowing and watery liquids and the like,
only such materials have heretofore been used as had the disadvantage of becoming
rapidly saturated and clogged, and which were consequently soon rendered unfit
for further use.
The present invention relates to a new manufacture of composition for the above
purpose possessing great and lasting absorbent power, this quality being secured by
a combination of fibre, minerals and chemical substances.
For this purpose we mix together gypsum, wool fibre, lime, bicarbonate of soda
and sulphuric acid, adding thereto sufficient water to produce a plastic or semi
fluid mass. This is then filled into moulds for producing slabs, cylinders or other
desired forms, and is dried either in the open air or in drying stoves, when the
blocks thus produced will be found a most efficient absorbent for large quantities
of liquid, and on the re-evaporation of such liquid therefrom, it will again act with
equal efficiency in absorbing fresh quantities of liquid even after long repeated use.
The proportions in which the said ingredients are combined may be variously
modified, but by preference we use 925 parts by weight of gypsum, 50 parts of
wool fibre, 10 parts of lime, 10 parts of bicarbonate of soda, and 5 parts of sulphuric
acid, these ingredients being mixed with a quantity of water equal to their combined
weight.
•
With these proportions it will be found that the compound will, after drying,
always be capable of absorbing and re-evaporating a quantity of water about equal
in weight to that used in its preparation.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is.
A new manufacture of material or composition for absorbing or blotting liquids
composed of gypsum, wool fibre, lime, bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid,
substantially as described.

Improvement in Stringed Musical Instruments.
I, HENRY DAVID HERRING of 178 Great Clowes Street Broughton Salford
Calico 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 consists in introducing into instruments of the violin family an
elastic soundpost in lieu of the rigid sound post hitherto used, so as to double the
amplitude of the vibrations of the " belly or sounding board and conduct the
vibrations to the back more fully than heretofore, thereby increasing the tone and
carrying power of the instrument.
The mode of applying my invention is as follows-
I cement a piece of india-rubber, or other suitable elastic medium, the size of
the top of the sound post on to the soundpost either on the foot or on the top-the
india rubber or elastic medium being from 2nd to th of an inch in thickness
according to requirement. This acts as a conductor of the vibrations between the
belly and the back of the instrument, allowing free and independent vibration of
both.
I also obtain the desired results by placing the foot of the soundpost on a small
platform of pine or other wood, vulcanite, steel or other suitable elastic material,
one end of which platform rests on the back, inside the instrument, and under the
other end is placed a cushion of india rubber, wood, or other suitable elastic
material, thereby relieving the back of the instrument of all direct pressure, to which
it is subjected under the present system of a rigid soundpost.
The average size of the platform is about 1 inches long by gths of an inch wide
and th to th of an inch thick.
These dimensions vary with the size of the instrument.
The best position of the platform is parallel with the strings; the cushion end
can be placed either towards the tail piece or the neck, and almost directly under
the right foot of the bridge.
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 elastic soundpost, by applying which I obtain an increase in the volume of

page_text: tone and greater carrying power thereby producing greater sweetness, purity,
fullness and mellowness of sound than is possible under the present conditions of a
rigid soundpost.

placed toilet articles such as basins, bottles, soap dishes, tooth brush trays and
so forth.
The improved toilet set protectors according to my invention present the
following amongst other advantages, namely on account of the economy attending
their use, seeing that the necessity for removal for washing, (involving keeping
several sets ready for use,) as hitherto, is dispensed with. Again, the placing of
the various toilet articles on my improved mats or protectors is effected noiselessly;
and the risk of breakage is also reduced owing to my improved mats serving as a
cushioning medium between the superposed toilet articles and table.
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 [
claim is :-
Toilet protectors or mats made of prepared india rubber substantially as herein
deconibod

Scoop for Discharging Gas Retorts.
We, THEODOR KEETMAN of Duisburg on the Rhine, in the German Empire,
Merchant, and WILHELM BACH of the same place, Engineer, 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 scoop or trough like appliance for removing the coke
from gas retorts. The object of the invention is to effect a saving in hand labour,
to remove the coke in large pieces and without the crumbling or crushing of the
same that occurs when hand tools are used and to prevent the inside surface of the
retort from being injured in breaking away the coke therefrom.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a plan of a scoop of this invention
mounted on a frame for moving the same backwards and forwards.
A is the scoop of a cross section similar to that of the retorts with which it is to
be used. Its front end is provided with a knife edged rim B. Its back end is
secured to a slide C by a pin or bolt D. Its forward part is supported on roller E
on which it runs freely in either direction when the slide C to which the scoop is
secured is worked along rails or bed E which may be accomplished by means of a
screw rod F carried in a frame G and by crank handle H worked through a
corresponding screw nut fixed to the underside of slide C but any other suitable
means may be employed for operating the scoop either by hand or power.
To discharge a retort the scoop is slid into the same, cutting with its front
knife-edge rim B the coke clean away from the inside surface of the retort and
receiving its load at the same time. When loaded it is withdrawn from the retort
and may then be removed from the slide C and carried away to be emptied at a
suitable place.
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 :
For the purpose of discharging gas retorts a scoop of a cross sectional shape
corresponding to that of the retorts to be discharged, and having at its front end a
knife edge, or provided with knives at its front end, substantially as described and
shewn.

Improvements in Tramway and Railway Rails.
I, OLIVER IMRAY of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of London, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, 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:-
According to this invention the body of a tramway or railway rail consisting of
the head and vertical web is rolled in iron or steel and has at suitable intervals
supports or pedestals attached to its web so as to be integral therewith. The union
of the support to the web may be effected by brazing, but welding is preferred as
giving a more complete connection of the parts a sound weld uniting them as if they
were made from one piece of metal. In the Specification accompanying an applica-
tion of even date with the present, apparatus is described suitable for effecting the
welding of the supports or pedestals to the webs of rails of the various forms which
I shall now describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view of the end portion of a tramway rail having supports or
pedestals at intervals united to its web.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section at X and Fig. 3 is a vertical section at Y of Fig. 1
and Fig. 4 is a vertical section shewing the body of the rail and the support
separate as they would be before being united.
The body of the rail consisting of the head H and web W is rolled in the usual
way in iron or steel. The supports S and s may also be rolled and then cut to the
desired lengths, the supports S at the ends of the rails (where the fishing of the
rails occurs) being preferably longer than the intermediate supports 8.
supports however may be made separately by forging or casting.
The
The rail head may be of any suitable form of which examples are given in Figs. 1
and 5 or it may be of the form shewn in Fig. 6 for a railroad; and the supports
may be of the various forms shewn by Figs. 7, 8, 9 or of other suitable forms as
may be readily understood.
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 tramway or railway rail consisting of a continuous head and web with discon-
tinuous supports or pedestals united to the web at intervals and integral therewith,
substantially as described.

An Improved Cravat Fastener.
I, EDUARD STEINER, of Grindelallee No. 75 Hamburg in the Empire of
Germany Jeweller 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 a fastener which may be easily attached
to any made up form of cravat or detached therefrom, so as to serve as a means for
fastening a cravat to the shirt or to the collar of the wearer. The improved fastener
is in the form of a hook to be suspended in an eye in the head of the stud by which
the shirt band or collar is fastened, the said hook being attached to the cravat by a
safety pin.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view, Fig. 2 a side view and Fig. 3 a back view of the fastener.
Fig. 4 is a front view of the same attached to a cravat.
Fig. 5 is a section showing the fastener suspended from the head of the stud.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of a collar fastened by the said stud.
The fastener consists of a strip of flat metal bent into the form of a hook m so
that the outer bar of the head of the stud H may pass the opening i when the
fastener is pressed down on the the stud.
A downwardly projecting tongue d is fastened to the hook and bears against the
back of the cravat so as to prevent the fastener from falling into a position
rendering the attachment to the stud a matter of difficulty. The fastener is attached
to the cravat T by the safety pin p so that the same fastener may be used for any
number of cravats.
To release the fastener from the stud it is sufficient simply to pull outward the
cravat lifting the same at the same time.
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 ;-
An attachment for cravats consisting of a spring hook m fastened upon a safety
pin p and having the downwardly directed bearing tongue d, the said attachment
being adapted to be secured to the slotted head of a stud H as described.
