Referring to the said Drawings I employ a bracelet A, (Figures 1, 2, 5, and 6,)
which may be of any suitable design or pattern and made of any suitable metal or
material, or I may employ a wrist strap B, (Figures 3, 4, 7, and 8,) which may be in
one or more parts, and which may be made of leather or any other suitable material.
The said bracelet A, and wrist strap B, have each a receptacle, sheath or holder C,
formed on or in, or attached to or upon them, and which may be made of any suitable
metal or material, and if desired the said receptacle C, may be provided with a glass
cover such as is shown at D, Figures 1, and 2, or a metal cover such as is shown at D¹,
Figures 3, and 4; or in lieu of the said ticket receptacle being left open at its one
end, it may be constructed after the manner of an ordinary card case as shown in
Figures 5, and 6, sheet 2, that is, having one of its ends hinged as at c, and opened or
shut by an ordinary spring hasp c¹, or it may be constructed after the manner of a
watch case or pair of oyster shells, and in order to enable the tickets to be retained in
the said receptacles, I mount in any convenient manner one or more holding or
retaining springs E, the free ends of which press the tickets F, up against the cover,
or the said springs may be looped as shown at E', in Figure 9, sheet 2, and in all
cases the said springs are so arranged as not to obstruct the withdrawing of the
ticket from the receptacle or the placing in of the ticket, the said withdrawing and
placing in of the ticket being easily effected by providing on the ends of the said
receptacles and covers, suitable thumb and finger recesses d, d¹.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the modes of mounting the said receptacles to
the bracelets or wrist straps, may be accomplished in many various ways, and that if
desired they may be made detachable therefrom.
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: =
1st. In bracelets or wrist straps, the employment of receptacles, sheaths or holders
for railway or other like tickets, all substantially as, and in the manner hereinbefore
described.
2nd. The general arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts
constituting my improvements in holders for railway and other like tickets, all sub-
stantially as and for the purposes herein before described and shown in the accom-
panying Drawings.

An Improved Feed Apparatus for Roller Flour Mills.
We, JULIUS STOCK and HEINRICH HAUSMANN both of Homberg-on-the-Rhine, in
the German Empire, Merchants, 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 to render the feed to roller flour mills more certain
and regular.
Usually the delivery of grist or coarso flour to the grinding rollers takes place
through a hopper fitted with a slide and thence past a feed roller which distributes
it and which should be covered over its whole length with the grist, as if, owing to
the hopper not being sufficiently supplied or to the grist clogging through not being
sufficiently dry, this is not so, the delivery to the grinding rollers is irregular, these
running uncovered in places and the grist imperfectly worked up.
In the accompanying drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a vertical section and
a horizontal section of the apparatus of this invention.
a is the inlet passage to the casing in which the different parts of the apparatus
are carried. are two regulating flaps. c guide plate. d inclined plane projecting
from the side of the casing and reaching over beyond the axial line of endless
screw e having blades running both right and left. f curved guide plate placed
near to, and embracing about one quarter of the circumference of endless screw e
and narrowing from the middle lengthwise to the ends. g, outlet to grinding rollers.
In working, the grist or coarse flour is passed through inlet a in a quantity
regulated by flaps 6, falls down upon inclined planes c, d, and then to endless
screw e which carries it along right and left to guide plate which owing to its
narrowing from the middle to the ends, delivers it evenly through the outlet g direct
on to the grinding rollers.
The invention renders the use of the hopper and feed roller superfluous.
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:
A feed apparatus for roller flour mills in which an endless right and left handed
screw which revolves in and for about one quarter of its circumference is embraced
by a guide plate sloping off narrower from the middle of its length to the ends, for
the purpose of feeding the material to be ground equably over the whole length of
the grinding rollers substantially as described and shewn.

JAMES BARBOUR of Falls Foundry Belfast Ireland Machinist do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This new arrangement of guide pullies is designed for carrying one endless rope or
round band in cases where the grooved pullies are so close together that it is desirable
to employ one endless band coiled round many grooves instead of a separate endless
band for each pair of grooves.
This arrangement consists in placing a loose grooved pulley larger in diameter
alongside and on the same shafts as the driving and driven pullies These loose pullies
are placed at opposite sides of the driving and driven pullies and guide the slack or
non-driving part of the endless rope from one end of the coil to the other.
By these means separate fixings for the guide pullies are dispensed with.

JAMES BARBOUR of Falls Foundry Belfast Ireland Machinist 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 new arrangement of guide pullies is designed for carrying one endless rope or
round band in cases where the grooved pullies are so close together that it is desirable
to employ one endless band coiled round many grooves instead of a separate endless
band for each pair of grooves.
This arrangement is clearly shewn in the drawing herewith in which Fig. 1. is a
side view. Fig. 2. is an end view and Fig. 3 is a section on a larger scale shewing
the driving pulley fast upon the shaft with the single grooved carrier pulley alongside
and free to turn upon the shaft.
This arrangement consists in placing a loose grooved pulley (a) larger in diameter
alongside and on the same shafts (b) as the driving (c) and driven (c¹) pullies and
which guide the slack or non-driving part of the endless rope (e) from one end of the
coil to the other without touching the driving ropes.
By these means separate fixings for the guide pullies (a) are dispensed with and an
equal amount of work is done by each pair of grooves owing to the ropes being in
equal tension which is difficult to obtain when there is a separate rope in each pair
of grooves.
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 use of guide pullies larger in diameter and on the same shafts as the driving
and driven grooved pullies when employed with a single endless driving band on
multiple grooved pullies essentially as herein described and illustrated.

I, WILLIAM KERSE, sole partner of the firm of W. & J. Milne 126 Princes
Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, Stationers and Dressing-case Makers 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 its object the carrying of a larger quantity of ink than usual
in a convenient form, for use in travelling or otherwise, and the improvements
consist in having within the inkholder a partition or sluice, as indicated by the
drawing Fig. 1 at A. which divides the liquid into two portions, namely, the portion
for use in the dippingwell B. B. and the portion in the other part of the vessel
which forms a reservoir C.
The action of the holder for use is found thus:
When the supply in the dippingwell B. B. is exhausted, a fresh supply is
obtained by tilting up the holder towards the dippingwell, which allows of the liquid
passing from the reservoir C. over the partition or sluice A. at D. D. into the
dippingwell B. B. The holder is filled by the mouth E.
The accompanying drawings represent the actual size of the holder proposed to
be used, which is made of brass nickel plated; but it may be made of glass, vulcanite,
or other material, and may be made to any dimensions on the same principle.
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
I. An improved vessel for holding ink or other fluid with an internal sluice or
partition dividing the vessel into two compartments, namely a dippingwell or font
and a reservoir.
II. And divided so that when the supply in the dippingwell is exhausted, repeated
supplies can be obtained from the reservoir, which is effected by tilting the reservoir
towards the dippingwell.
III. And by this improvement the space available for holding the fluid is much
greater than is provided in any other portable inkholder.

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 soda alum and it consists in evaporating
a mixture of sulphate of alumina and Sulphate of Soda in a rarefied atmosphere or
vacuum as hereinafter described.
When a solution of sulphate of soda is simply mixed with a solution of sulphate of
alumina crystals of alum are not produced because the quantity of water required to
dissolve these two sulphates is in excess of the quantity of constituent water in soda
alum and this alum being very readily soluble in water remains in solution in the
excess of liquid. In evaporating a solution of soda alumn in the ordinary way a
temperature of from 70 to 80 degrees centigrade is required it being almost impossible
to avoid ebullition and the alum solution when heated to this extent is rendered
incapable of crystallising.
In order to obviate these disadvantages and enable soda alum to be manufactured
on a large or commercial scale I take a mixture consisting of suitable proportions of
sulphate of alumina and sulphate of soda as free as possible from iron and I evaporate
this mixture in an evaporating apparatus working with a vacuum care being taken
to keep the temperature below about sixty degress centigrade. In practice I prefer to
work at about 48 degrees centigrade.
When the liquid is sufficiently condensed or concentrated that is to say when the
density of the heated liquid is somewhere between about 1.38 and 1.46 (according to
whether beauty or abundance of the crystals is preferred) it is poured out into a
suitable crystallising vessel or vessels (preferably into a vessel provided or constructed
with rods). The soda alum forms crystals in cooling which are removed and washed
preferably in a centrifugal apparatus after which they should be packed in suitable
receptacles at once in order to guard against efflorescence although this efflorescence
does not appear until after the lapse of several days. The mother waters or liquors

alumina and sulphate of soda in suitable proportions and subjected again to treatment
in the vacuum evaporating apparatus.

The employment of evaporation in a vacuum or rarefied atmosphere in the manu
facture of soda alum obtained from a mixture of suitable proportions of sulphate ol
alumina and sulphate of soda in the manner and under the conditions as regards
density and temperature substantially as herein before described.

A Cigarette Holder.

A Cigarette Holder.
I, ISAAC POWELL Jr. Contractor Higher Tame Street Stalybridge, Cheshire, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE MANUFACTURE OF AN IMPROVED
CIGARETTE HOLDER, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be parti-
cularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Cigarette Holder is made in the form of a tube about two inches in length.
It is constructed of metal, vulcanite, quill stiff paper or other suitable material and
consists of two semi-tubes hinged together at or near one end by one or two small
pins or pivots. Thus by a slight pressure at this end the other end will open for the
insertion of the cigarette. I'ressure at the open end then closes the holder securely
and tightly upon the cigarette.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:-
-
Fig. I is a side view of the holder when closed upon a cigarette.
Fig. II. is a perspective view of the holder when open.
Fig. III. is an end view of the holder when closed.
a is the upper or inner semi-tube, and 6 is the lower or outer semi-tube.
c. is the cigarette.
d is the pivot or pin, which in Fig. III is shewn as one pin passing right through
the tube and rivetted over at the ends.
I do not confine myself to this form of pivot but may use two short rivets one for
each side.
The semi-tubes also may be so placed that the one which is inside at one side of the
tube may be outside at the other side without departing from my invention.
As illustrated in the drawings the semi-tubes are somewhat more than a true semi-
circle, and I may make them in this form in which case they will form what is called
a "lap" joint, or I may make them exact semicircles so as to form a "butt" joint, or
somewhat less than semicircles.
In the latter two cases of course I form an enlargement to take the pin or pivot.
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 1
claim is :-
I. Cigarette Holders formed of two parts of semicircular section or thereabouts,
such parts being hinged or pivotted together at or near one end.
II. Cigarette Holders formed of two parts of semicircular section or thereabouts
such parts being pivotted together in such a manner that the holder can be caused by
pressure to open or gape at one end to receive the cigarette and can be also closed by
pressure to hold or grip the cigarette securely.

ISAAC KOTLIAREVSKY of 28 Mausell Street London Tobacco and Cigarette Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A case or box is made of cardboard, leather, or any other suitable material. The
case consists of two equal sized receptacles of a suitable dimension to hold in each of
them a convenient number of cigarettes or cigars. The two receptacles are connected
at the top on the outside by the continuation of the material of which the case or box
is made, and in such a way as to permit of the two divisions folding one on the top
of the other so that the whole forms one case. When the case is opened the ends of
the cigarettes or cigars in the one compartment face the ends of the cigarettes in the
other. The inside of each box is cut at the top in variety of ways so as to admit of
the ready withdrawal of a cigarette or cigar. The advantages of this invention are
the novelty of the improved case or box for cigarettes or cigars which holds them in a
compact form and preserves them in good condition.

An Improved Clip for Keeping the Neck-bands of Scarfs, Cravats,
Neckties, and similar Articles in Proper Position.
I, GEORGE WHYTE, Northview, Elgin in the County of Moray, Scotland, Doctor of
Medicine, 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 clip for keeping the neckbands of scarfs,
cravats, neckties and similar articles in proper position upon the collar of the
wearer whereby greater comfort is obtained than with similar articles at present in use.
According to this invention I provide a thin piece of pliable metal and bend the
same round upon itself at one end thereof in such a manner as to form a spring or
clip the opposite end being left flat. I also punch or otherwise form a V shaped slit
in the flat end of the metal piece either before or after it is bent to form the clip as
hereinbefore referred to, 1 bend the V shaped tongue outwards, that is to say, away
from the spring clip.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which similar letters indicate corresponding parts throughout.
Figure 1 shows a strip of metal with a V shaped slit before it is bent into shape ;
Figure 2 is a front view of my invention finished and ready for use; Figure 3 is a
side elevation and Figure 4 a back view of the same. The strip of metal which is to
form the clip is bent round upon itself as shewn at A figure 3 in such a manner as to
form a spring clip B. D is tho V shaped slit and E the V piece or tongue which is
bent outwards in a slightly curved forin at or about an angle of 45° with the back (
of the clip.
The action of my invention is as follows:-The clip B is passed under the bottom
edge of the collar, the material of which is clipped between B and C and the V piece
or tongue E protrudes outwards and downwards as shewn in Figure 3. When the
band of the necktie, scarf, cravat or similar article is placed on the collar the tongue E
engages therewith and prevents it rising. This tendency of the neck band to ride up
keeps the clip close under the bottom edge of the collar.
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 :-
The construction from a strip of metal of a clip for the neck bands of scarfs, cravats,
neckties, and similar articles substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set
forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Helmets and other Head Coverings.
We, THOMAS TOWNEND, of the firm of Thomas Townend & Co., of Nos. 16, 17
and 18, Lime Street, in the city of London, Hat Manufacturer, and JOHN
STEPHENSON, of 48, Pentonville Road, in the county of London, Hatter, 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 :-
Our invention relates to helmets, and other head coverings, and has for its object
to provide what we term a "dual
or convertible" head covering, that is to say, a
head covering which can be used either single or double as hereinafter more
particularly described.
To enable our invention to be readily understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing which shows the application of our invention
to a helmet, but it will be obvious that our improvements are equally applicable to
other kinds of head coverings.
Similar letters in the several figures are used to indicate similar parts.
In Figure 1 we represent a side elevation of what we term our single helmet which
is substantially of the ordinary shape except that it is formed with a rib or projection
at a to adapt it to receive our second or outer covering which is shown detached in
side elevation in Figure 2, and in Figure 3 applied to the single helmet represented
in. Figure 1. represents a puggree which serves to cover the joint between the
single helmet and the outer cover, and c, c represent ventilating holes.
From this arrangement it will be seen that the helmet can be used as an ordinary
head covering but if it is required for use in very hot weather the outer cover or
casing can be applied as hereinbefore described whereby an air space will be enclosed
between the two parts as shown at d, Figure 4, which is a section of Figure 3, the
said air space with the ventilating holes c. c ensuring a free circulation of air.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
(1.) The combination with a helmet or other head covering of an outer cover or
casing in the manner and for the purposes, substantially as hereinbefore described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved head covering hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
