Improvements in Bellows or Bags for Insect and other Powder.
1, OSKAR SCHERFF, of 24 Thomasiusstrasse, Leipzig, in the Empire of 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, which is shown in the accompanying drawing and described
in this Specification, bas for its object to provide, owing to its cheapness, a con-
venient equivalent, in the form of a simple paper bag, for the insect powder
bellows which have heretofore.been made of india-rubber.
A paper bag a, in the form shown in the drawing, will be filled with insect
powder before it is cemented together. On both sides of the bag are gummed
narrow paper strips b, by means of which the two sides of the paper bag may be
drawn apart and air drawn in through the point which has been cut off; then, when
the sides are pressed together, the light powder contained in the bag is forced out
in the form of dust.
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 bellows or bag for insect and other powder consisting of a paper bag filled
with the desired powder, the sides of the bag being provided with strips by means
of which they may be drawn apart and pressed together, the powder being thus
dusted out through a suitable hole, substantially as herein shown and described.

Date of Application, 4th July, 1893-Accepted, 5th Aug., 1893
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:-
My present invention relates to an improvement in nut-locks, and consists in the
construction and arrangement of a bolt, nut and washer, whereby the nut becomes
perfectly locked, so that in no possible way can it accidentally become loose.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved nut lock, applied to a bolt,
and wooden bar.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the washer detached,
Figure 3 is a side view of the same, and
The washer, A', is made of a plate of metal with a hole of such size as to fit
around the bolt E.
One end of the washer, A¹ projects some distance beyond the edge of the nut,
forming an arm B which is bent up at its free end, and sharpened at its point a, so
as to be capable of being driven into the wooden bar A, as at C.
The opposite end d, of the washer is turned down closely to the side portion of
the nut D, as shown in Figure 1, by which means it forms a complete nut-lock.
When the bolt E has been inserted into its place, the washer A' is placed thereon.
Then the nut D is placed on the bolt, and the washer and the nut being screwed
up tight in position, the pointed projecting pin a, of the washer is forced or driven
upwardly into the timber.
Now it can be readily seen that it will be impossible to turn the nut D from its
place without first withdrawing the projected end d, of the washer back again out
of contact with the wood, therefore the nut cannot work loose accidentally.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is:-
As an improved article of manufacture a washer for a nut-lock comprising a
plate with a lip at one of its edges to engage the side of a nut, and an arm pro-
jecting from the opposite edge bent up back beyond the working face of the
washer, and its free end sharpened to a point and bent so as to be adapted to be

capping.
The capping is formed with groove in centre on underside, in which are inserted
two strips of india-rubber or other elastic material. The strips being secured with
wood fillet fixed between them, and the capping secured to the bars with screws.
A further object we claim for this capping is to apply to existing glass roofs,
where ordinary wood bars already exist. This is done by reducing the depth of
old rebates, so as to allow the india-rubber or other elastic material strips to bear
direct on the glass and so secure same.
1 is a cross section of the bar & capping showing our improvement.
The bar a being level on top with hollow in centre allows of greater freedom in
fixing glass & also for expansion.
The capping b is formed of wood with dovetail groove c on underside fitted with
two india-rubber strips d or other elastic material secured in place by tightly fixed
wood fillet e between the two strips.
The capping is secured to the bars with screws.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
.
1st. The arrangement of capping with india-rubber strips or other elastic
material for securing glass on roofs & glazing generally.
2nd. The application of capping to existing glazing.
3rd. The bar with hollow in centre on top being the best form for the application
of our capping & giving greater freedom to glass.

Improvements applied to Rolling Mills.
I, AUGUSTE RAZE, Managing Director of the Joint Stock Company of Ougrée
at Ougrée in the Kingdom of Belgium, 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 object an improved construction of horizontal cylinders of
rolling mills, combined with a novel arrangement of vertical cylinders and is
applied to the rolling of every form or required section of fluting with three rolls.
On the drawing the invention is shown as it is applied to the rolling of tramway
rails, Figure 1 being a front view of a set of rolls, Figure 2 a side view of a vertical
roll on a larger scale, and Figure 3 a vertical section through the line A B.
The cylindrical rolls a are prolonged beyond their axles, that is to say beyond
the frame of the rolls b, and these prolongations c bear a part of the fluting; on the
axis of the cylindrical rolls a, that is to say before the prolongations, and
consequently laterally to the frame b of the rolls a is arranged vertically the roll d,
the face, of which completes the fluting of the prolongations c.
In the rolls shewn on the drawing, the vertical cylinder may form with the
cylindrical rolls, one or two flutings for three cylinders.
In the example selected on the drawing, the groove is formed in the rail, by
causing the latter to pass in a fluting of three cylinders formed by the prolongations c
of the cylindrical rolls a, and by the vertical cylinder d, placed in front of the
prolongations c. This arrangement facilitates the work and position of the vertical
roll.
The vertical roll d may be independent or actuated by pinions according to the
requirements of the work.
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 rolls the prolongation of the cylindrical rolls beyond their axles, in
combination with a vertical cylinder placed on the axes of the cylindrical rolls, and
in front of the said prolongations combined and arranged substantially as described
and shewn on the accompanying drawing.

We, ISAAC SHIMWELL MCDOUGALL and JAMES THOMAS MCDOUGALL,
both of 10 Mark Lane, in the City of London, Manufacturing Chemists do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
Substances which yield sulphur di-oxide or carbon di-oxide are found useful for
some fumigating purpose. Hitherto these gases have been produced for fumigating
purposes by the combustion of sulphur or carbon in the presence of atmospheric
oxygen.
We find that these gases are with greater facility produced in quantity
by the addition to the sulphur or carbon of certain proportions of nitrate of potash
or soda or other suitable nitrate or mixtures of them which addition has the effect.
of accelerating the evolution of their respective gases yet without rendering the
mixture explosive and this is what we claim as our invention.

which it is desired to convert into sulphur di-oxide or carbon di-oxide either by
mixing, fusion or other suitable means a certain proportion of a suitable nitrate
such as the nitrate of potash, nitrate of ammonia, nitrate of soda or nitrate of
baryta or a mixture of them sufficient to accelerate the evolution of gas but not
sufficient to cause explosion. In practice we find that in the case of sulphur the
following are useful proportions.

Improvements in and connected with Cups and Saucers.
I, OTTO WALTER, of 14, Dagobert Strasse, Cologne-on-the-Rhine, in the
Empire of Germany, Technician, 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 improvements in cups and saucers for containing and
serving tea, coffee, and other beverages, and has for its object to provide against
the liability of such cups becoming upset when being carried, as for instance in
hotels and restaurants and on ship board. A further effect of my improvements is
to raise the bottom of the cup from the saucer, whereby if any of the contents
of the cup have been spilt into the saucer the bottom of the cup remains dry,
and the objectionable dripping from the cup when being conveyed to the lips is
obriated.
The invention will be clearly understood upon reference to the annexed drawings,
in which
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a cup and saucer formed according to my invention,
and Figures 3 and 4 a modification thereof.
Upon reference to the drawings it will be seen that the bottom rim or base of
the cup a is made deeper than at present and finds a seat in a raised grid or false
bottom b.
In Figures 1 and 2 the false bottom is shewn formed in one piece with the
saucer d'and provided with apertures through which the liquid spilt from the cup
drains to the bottom of the saucer. In Figures 3 and 4 the false bottom is shewn
formed as a separate piece which facilitates the washing of the parts.
It will be seen that the cup finds a secure seat in the false bottom bor e
and is therefore not liable to be upset in use, and as the bottom of the oup is
beld some distance above the saucer it is not immersed in the spilt contents which
collect therein.
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
A cup and saucer provided with means whereby the cup is retained in and at
a distance above its saucer, such means consisting of a false bottom adapted to
receive and hold the cup and to allow liquid spilt from the cup to drain to the
bottom of the saucer and clear of the cup, substantially as and for the purposes
herein described.

Improvements in Soldering Aluminium and Alloys of Aluminium.
We, GEORG WEGNER of 7 Oppelner Strasse, Berlin, Germany, Goldsmith,
and PAUL GÜHRS of 32 Stallschreiber Strasse, Berlin, 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 relates to the soldering of aluminium and its alloys.
The invention consists essentially in using a special flux by means of which
pieces of aluminium or of its alloys can be joined firmly and strongly together.
The flux can also be used for soldering together pieces of aluminium with other
metals.
The new flux has this great advantage that it can be used with ordinary soft
solder, but much better results are given by using a soldering composition made of
tin and zinc mixed together in certain proportions, say, about 80 parts of tin and
20 parts zinc.
In carrying out our invention we first clean and damp the articles to be soldered
with the flux which consists of, say, about 80 parts stearic acid, 10 parts
chloride of zinc and 10 parts chloride of tin and then apply the solder in the usual
way with a bolt or blow pipe.
The joint formed is a permanent one and answers the highest expectations.
The joint is so strong that the article will break before the joint gives way.
We do not confine ourselves to the precise proportions above specified.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
1. A flux for soldering aluminium or alloys of aluminium consisting of stearic
acid, chloride of zinc, and chloride of tin, substantially as hereinbefore set
forth.
2. The use in combination with a flux formed of stearic acid, chloride of zinc
and chloride of tin of a soldering composition formed of tin and zinc, substantially
as hereinbefore set forth.
