Improvements in the Manufacture of Ferric Chloride.
1, PAUL BUISINE, of 41, 'Rue Jacquemars-Giélée, Lille Nord, in the Republic
of France, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of ferric chloride, and to the utilization,
in such manufacture, of pyrites residues yielded in the production of sulphuric acid;
and further to the complete absorption of hydrochloric acid vapours evolved in
certain descriptions of chemical works.
As the result of experiment, I have ascertained that hydrochloric acid vapours
(more or less mixed with air or other gases, and particularly in the condition in
which they issue from sulphate of soda furnaces) are completely absorbed when
caused to traverse a certain thickness of pyrites residues slightly moistened with
.water. The reaction which commences in the cold state causes an immediate rise
of temperature, which assists the said re-action and continues as long as the con-
version of the pyrites residues into ferric chloride proceeds. It is upon these facts
that I base my industrial process for the utilization of pyrites residues for the
complete absorption of hydrochloric acid vapours and the production of ferric
chloride. The said process consists in passing the hydrochloric acid vapours (as
also the gases which may accompany them) through scrubbers or other suitable
apparatus in which they traverse layers of greater or less thickness of the said
pyrites residues; the latter being mixed with a certain proportion of brick, flint,
or other material unaffected by hydrochloric acid in order prevent the occurrence
of obstructions. If the pyrites residues be only slightly moistened with water, the
ferric chloride is obtained in a solid state; but, if the said pyrites residues be
washed with water, either intermittingly or continuously, the ferric chloride is
obtained as a more or less concentrated solution. Ferric chloride has, as is well
known, a number of useful applications, notably for purifying sewage.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim
:-
1. The utilization of pyrites residues (yielded in the production of sulphuric acid)
for the complete absorption of hydrochloric acid vapours from chemical works,
substantially as herein described.
2. The manufacture of ferric chloride from pyrites residues (yielded in the pro-
duction of sulphuric acid) substantially as herein described.
3. In the manufacture of ferric chloride, the utilization of waste hydrochloric
acid vapours, substantially as herein described.

A Method of Suspending Keys and other articles in the Pockets
of Garments.
I, ALBERT WILLIAM PYKE of 22 Bishopsgate Street Without in the City of
London, Tailor, 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 means of carrying keys, or other
articles in the pocket of a pair of trousers or other garment so as to be easily
accessible, and at the same time keeping them separate from other articles in the
pocket. By suspending keys and other articles in this manner in the pocket of a
pair of trousers, the drawers and pants of the wearer last much longer as the usual
friction of keys and other articles is thereby avoided.
On the inside of the pocket I place a plate. of metal or other suitable material
having a hook made of a flat piece of the material used, the said hook being tapered
and bent to an S shape, over which the ring of a bunch of keys, or any other
article required can be passed. I fasten said plate by tapes, threads or other
suitable means.
In order that this my invention may be clearly understood I will now proceed to
describe the same reference being made to the accompanying drawing-
In Fig. 1. A represents a view of the inside of a trousers pocket, the lining B
being thrown back to disclose the suspender hook C, which consists of the plate D,
and the S hook E, secured to the trousers by tapes or threads F, F, F.
H represents a ring with keys attached and hung in position (as shewn by dotted
lines). Fig. 2. shews a side view of the hook plate.
I do not limit myself to the precise details herein set forth, as various modifica-
tions may be made and yet the principle of my invention may be maintained.
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 method of suspending keys or other articles from the inside of trousers
or other pockets, for the purpose of ready access, and of keeping them distinct
from other articles in the pocket.
2. The provision of a plate and tapered hook in such a way as to enable keys or
other articles to be instantly suspended thereon or withdrawn from the pocket.

An Improvement in Shirts and other Undergarments.
JAMES REED PARDY, Gentleman 60 Haymarket, London S.W. do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The article I wish to patent is an undergarment or vest to render a person
impervious to influenza or to prevent a recurrence of the disease. It has the
same beneficial effect in malarial fever which is so prevalent in some parts of
Africa, India, and Australia.
I have both in influenza & malarial fever,-terms almost synonymous though
modified by different latitudes-proved by close observation that they are caused
by a chill acting on the spinal cord, thence on the liver.
To prevent this chill in the first place and to prevent a recurrence in the second
I have devised a shirt to generate warmth over the spine. This can only be done
by increasing the covering over that portion of the human frame. My invention
consists therefore in so constructing my shirt or other undergarments that several
layers of the material of which the shirt is made or other material, cover the
spine and the adjacent parts.
This combination of generating heat over the spine and thus warding off
influenza, malarial fever, neuralgia of the spine, lumbago, sciatica, congestion of
the kidneys, and chronic Bright's disease, I claim to be my true and original
invention.

I, JAMES REED PARDY, of 60, Haymarket, London S.W., Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The article consists of an undershirt or similar garment designed to protect the
spine and adjacent parts of the body, and is specially applicable for use in climates
where the heat renders it impossible to bear an extra weight of clothing. These
parts of the body which are peculiarly sensitive are thus protected from sudden
chills and exposure.
The garment which may be of any ordinary pattern or
suitable material, has three thicknesses of the material down the centre of the
back, the portion so thickened being three to four inches wide. For one or
two inches on each side of this strip the material is in addition doubled in
thickness.
I do not confine myself to any precise dimensions, materials or pattern, the
essential character of my invention being an undergarment or shirt having the
portion covering the region of the spine increased in thickness.

A Coinfreed Musical Automaton.
I, PAUL RIESSNER, of the Firm of Brachhausen and Riessner, Manufacturers, of
Leipzig, in the Kingdom of Saxony, 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 musical automaton adapted to be set in operation by
the insertion of a coin.
The automaton chiefly comprises a human or other suitable figure which may be
placed immediately upon the floor or upon a baseplate, or combined with a separate
pedestal. This figure carries a box, which resembles a barrel or street organ, and
contains a musical mechanism adapted to be set in motion by means of a music shect
or a pin barrel and a mechanical motor. The musical mechanism is connected
with a coin-receptacle, in such a manner, that the insertion of a coin serves to
release the going-work or mechanical motor and to set the musical mechanism into
operation.
In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying
drawing, which is a perspective view of a musical automaton embodying my
invention.
The principal peculiarity or distinctive feature of my invention consists in the
fact, that simultaneously with the going work, the crank B, connected with the
moveable arm A of the automaton figure, is set in motion. That is to say,
the insertion of a coin produces a rotary or pivotal motion of the arm of the
automaton. For inserting the coin, a slotted receptacle M is mounted on the box..
The automaton figure may, of course, have any convenient size and may be dressed
in any desired manner. The construction of the going work and of the musical
mechanism are not claimed as part of my invention and may be varied according
to requirements.
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 musical automaton chiefly comprising a human or other suitable figure, and a
box resembling a barrel-organ, a coin receptacle, and a crank B connected with an
arm of the said figure, the said box containing a musical mechanism together with a
going-work adapted to set in motion the said mechanism, as well as the said crank,.
when a coin is inserted into the said receptacle, substantially as described.

means of one single tie or cravat. The self-tying cravats hitherto introduced
consist of a single piece of fabric, reduced in width at the part intended to be placed
round the collar. Unlike these ties, our invention consists of two separate pieces,
viz. the neck-portion and the tying-strip, which are connected by a loop, serving
also as a support or keeper. This improved self-tying cravat offers the important.
advantage of permitting a knot or bow of the desired shape to be tied before the
cravat is placed round the shirt-collar, which, in the case of the self-tying cravats
hitherto has been impossible.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings,.
in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation representing a self-tying cravat made in accordance with this
invention, and adapted for use in connection with, say, an upright collar; the
cravat being here supposed to be open.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 to 6, and 8 illustrate the manner in which the improved cravat is tied.
Fig. 7 is a rear view of Fig. 8; and
Fig. 8 is a front-view of the cravat when tied.
In Fig. 1, A is the tying strip or cravat proper, which is passed through the loop.
or keeper c of the neck-piece b.
To tie the cravat, the lower part
of the tying strip A is placed round the-
piece (Fig. 2 and 3); then a is tied round a¹ (Fig. 4), when the whole assumes.
the position and shape represented in Fig. 5.
Then the part a" is passed upwardly through the loop or keeper c (Fig. 6 and 7),.
and next brought round to the front again and passed through the loop d (Fig. 8).
Fig. 8 shows the cravat fully tied, i.e., with the bow or knot completed.
As before stated, the loop c, in addition to being the means of connecting the
two main parts of the cravat, serves as a keeper, for holding the neck-tie in
position against the collar-stud and effectually preventing it from shifting or
slipping out of place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention.
I declare that what I claim is :-
A tie or cravat, consisting of a neck-piece, and a tying strip, passed through a
loop or keeper or similar device upon the neck-piece for the purpose of enabling
knots or bows of any desirable shape or description to be made, substantially as.
described.

An Improved Mustard Pot.
I, MAX REICHE of 17 Bahnhof Strasse, Halle on the Saale in the Empire o
Germany, 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:-
The present invention is designed to protect mustard from drying up, and the
object is attained by excluding the air from the pot containing it.
The improved mustard pot is shewn in the accompanying drawing, in which
Figs. 1 to 5 are different forms, in elevation and plan view, of the pot; and
Fig. 6 an arrangement of outlet cock.
The arrangement of the new mustard pot is as follows :-
:-
For
In a vessel of either tin, glass, china, earthenware, wood, etc., of cylindrical or
other suitable form internally (see accompanying figures), is adapted an accurately
fitting plunger a (but with no actuating mechanism) (Fig. 1), which descends by
its own weight or is pressed down upon the mustard contained in the pot.
manipulating this plunger, a ring b, attached by a staple c thereto, when made of
wood or metal, is provided (Fig. 1). For earthenware, china, and glass, a strong
knob is provided, as shewn in Figure 3. To further shield the contents against
the entrance of air, the upper end of the pot is provided with a cap or cover d
(Fig. 1), which forms an airtight covering at the joint e. At the lower end of the
pot, is an outlet opening f, controlled by a slide 9 (Figs. 1 & 1^). Of course, this
opening may also be controlled by a tap, as shewn in Fig. 6.
To ensure cleanliness, the slide or tap must in any case be made of tin, china, or
glass, and the plunger a, if made of wood or cork, should be covered on its under-
side with tin.
To use the pot, the opening at the bottom thereof is opened, the lid lifted off,
and the plunger depressed in the vessel, thus effecting the expulsion of the mustard,
through the opening. When the pressure on the plunger is released, the liquid
will cease to flow. When empty, it is only necessary to remove the plunger, and
refill the vessel, when it will again be ready for use.
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 mustard pot with a double closing arrangement substantially as described and
shewn, consisting of a removable cap or cover d, in combination with an accurately
fitting plunger sliding in the cylindrical or other suitably shaped containing vessel
and expelling the mustard therefrom (by its own weight, or by pressure applied
thereto), through an opening at the bottom controlled by a slide or a tap.

Improvements in Means for Preventing the Sinking of Ships
and other Vessels.
I, JOHN BLACK DAVIDS, of North Dartmouth, in the County of Bristol, and
State of Massachusetts, U.S.A., 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 :-
This invention relates to marine vessels, and its object, is to render such vessels
unsinkable.
To this end, my invention consists in providing a large number of air reservoirs,
made of non-corrosive material, and placing them between the outside and inside
planking of a vessel, and between the ribs thereof, and in other practically waste
врасеѕ.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1, represents a view in transverse vertical section of a vessel provided with
my invention.
Fig. 2, represents a view in perspective of a portion of one side of the same,
showing a portion of the inside planking, broken away.
Fig. 3, represents a view in perspective of one of the air reservoirs.
Similar letters, refer to similar parts in the several views.
e,
a, indicates the keel, and b, indicates the ribs of a vessel. d, is the outside
planking, and c, the inside planking thereof. indicates an air reservoir, made of
non-corrosive material, such as aluminium, or its alloys, and adapted to fit in the
spaces between the outside and inside planking, and between the ribs of a vessel; a
series of them, occupying the space between two ribs, so that, should one or more of
them become ruptured by collision, or other cause, there would still remain a
sufficient number of them, air tight, to keep the vessel from sinking, even when she
becomes filled with water.
The reservoirs e, are preferably made with a screw cap f, sunk in a recess, so that
the outside of the screw cap shall be flush with the surface of the reservoir. The
opening, closed by the screw cap, is also preferably provided with an inwardly
opening valve, in order that more than one atmosphere can be put into the reservoirs,
if deemed necessary, to prevent them from collapsing by the pressure of the water,
when the vessel becomes filled.
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-
In combination with a marine vessel, a series of independent air reservoirs,
composed of non-corrosive material, and adapted to fit in the spaces between the
inside and outside planking of said vessel; between the deck beams, and other
practically waste spaces, which would become filled with water, when the vessel was
partially or wholly submerged; as and for the purpose described.

Substances.
I GEORGE CROOK of 267 Lord Street Southport in the County of Lancaster
Chemist and Druggist 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 four parts (A) vulcanite or glass mouth piece (B) indin rubber
tube (C) vulcanite or glass cap (D) vulcanite or glass nozzle.
The mouth piece "A" fits in one end of the rubber tube B and the other end of
the rubber tube B fits on the cap C and the cap C fits on the nozzle D. The
nozzle D is a cylindrical tube tapering to a point at one end which is perforated in
5 places to allow the volatile substance to be blown up the nostril. The nozzle D
contains absorbent material on which the volatile substance is poured.
In use the mouthpiece A is placed between the lips the nozzle D is inserted in
either nostril then a gentle stream of air is blown through the apparatus carrying
the volatile substances through the respiratory passages. The following are the
advantages of my invention.
1. Simplicity of apparatus for the more effectual application of volatile substances
to the respiratory organs in cases of catarrh and allied complaints.
2. Reduction of waste of volatile substances in their application to the respiratory
passages in cases of catarrh and allied complaints.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I claim that the following
namely
Firstly (a) Vulcanite or glass mouthpiece
(6) India rubber tube
(c) Vulcanite or glass cap
(d) Vulcanite or glass nozzle
when severally connected as before described form an entirely new apparatus for
the improved self administration of volatile substances to the nasal organs.
