Improvements in Fur Blowing Machines.
I, ROBERT ROBINSON of Gee Cross, Hyde, in the County of Chester, Hat
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manuer
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
My improvements refer to machines for blowing or cleaning fur preparatory to
making such fur into hats, and have for their object to effect the blowing or
cleaning in a more effective manner and with less loss of fur than heretofore, and
for that purpose 1 employ two carding rollers in each section of the machine,
instead of one as heretofore, and beneath such rollers, and above the ordinary
oscillating screen for agitating the fur and removing the impurities, I fix a wire
grid of about 10 to 12 inches wide, extending the full length of the rollers, and
secured at each end to the machine frame.
And in order that my said invention shall be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings shewing
so much of a fur blowing machine as is necessary to illustrate my improvements
applied thereto, and I will now proceed to describe the same with the assistance of
the various letters of reference marked thereon.
(A), (A) are the "duplex" carding rollers, and (B) the wire grid aforesaid,
this latter lying between the said rollers, and the usual oscillating screen (C) at a
slight angle. The purpose of the said additional roller (A) and grid (B) is to
catch the fur after it leaves the roller (A), and give it further treatment, some of
such fur very often coming through without being acted upon by the teeth of the
said roller (A), whereas with my improvements the fur will be caught by the
grid (B), which being in close proximity to the rollers, will enable the roller (A')
to pick up or catch the accumulated fur, and so further treat it before it can fall
away on to the screen (C).
The rollers are driven in the same direction by the band (E) passing round
pulleys (E) on the roller ends from the driving pulley (D), of which there is one
for each set of rollers, and all driven from the opposite side of the machine by a
suitable main shaft common to all.
By thus duplicating the rollers, and employing the wire grid (B) we find there
is a great saving of fur, and the impurities are more effectually removed.
Having thus 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 and desire to secure by Letters Patent is :-
1st. In fur blowing machines the use of two carding rollers in each chamber or
section of the machine, in combination with a wire grid fixed directly beneath the
same as and for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Vault Lights.
I, JAMES GREY PENNYCUICK, care of The Prismatic Glass Co. Ltd., Toronto,
County of York, Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, 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:-
My invention relates to lights for illuminating basements and sub-basements.
It is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein in a single view is shown a
basement, sub-basement, window lights and vault lights.
A is a basement, B, the sub-basement, C, the vault lights, D, the window lights
preferably prismatic for the sub-basement; E the window light preferably
prismatic for the basement; F, the inner set of vault lights; G, the outer set of
vault lights. The window lights which I prefer to use in the front of the basement
and sub-basement are such as have refracting prisms thereon, and by this means
whatever light falls upon them is refracted as indicated in dotted lines so as to be
carried toward the rear and diffused rather than to be concentrated at the front of
the basement or sub-basement spaces. The vault lights must be so arranged as to
receive and throw the light onto these windows and I therefore divide the vault
lights into two sections and one section I arrange with angles suitable to direct the
light preferably by reflection upon the window E, and the other half I arrange
with reflecting angles more sharply inclined and calculated to throw the light on
the window D.
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:
1. The combination of a vault light having reflecting surfaces calculated to reflect
the light and direct it against the front of the basement beneath, with a refracting
light or window in the front of the basement to take the light and refract it in a
line somewhat parallel with the length of the basement.
2. The combination of a vault light consisting of a series of sections having
reflecting surfaces at different angles in combination with a series of basements one
above the other, and refracting window lights in the front of each basement, the
reflecting angles of the vault lights being such as that each section throws its light
upon its associated basement window, whence the light is carried through such
basement in lines substantially parallel with the length thereof.
3. The combined vault and basement window lights shaped and arranged
substantially as shown and described and for the purpose specified.

Cowls.
I, JOHN HARRY GREENWOOD Builder, West Hill Drive Mansfield Notts, 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 invention consists of an improved form of chimney pot, cowl for soil or other
pipes or ventilator, constructed so as to improve the upward draught in the chimney,
pipe or ventilating shaft.
The accompanying drawings shew the nature of my invention and on reference
to same it will be seen that Fig. 1 shews a vertical section of a chimney pot.
Fig. 2. is a plan or horizontal section of same on lines A. A. Fig. 3 a plan or
horizontal section on lines B. B and Fig. 4 an elevation. Fig. 5 an enlarged plan
of one of the four projecting feet at E. Fig. 6 an enlarged elevation of same.
As it is frequently necessary to fix pots of considerable height on smoky chimneys
I propose to make the pots in two or more pieces as required for convenience in
fixing and in order to secure the top piece to the bottom one I have arranged four
projecting feet on the top part at E on Figs. 1, 3, 5 and 6, which fit into the notches
prepared for them in the brackets attached to the bottom part as shewn at M on
Figs. 1, 3, 5 and 6.
The four brackets above referred to are also intended to support the loose skirt
or hood which is fixed over the lower part of pot before the upper parts are put
on as shewn at P. on Figs. 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6.
The object of the loose skirt or hood is to catch the wind as it blows against the
pot and the brackets previously referred to serve to turn it upwards to feed the shafts
formed in the sides of the pots and create an up draught in the inside of the pot.
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. The construction of a chimney pot cowl or ventilator made in two or more
parts so that they can be fitted together one above another to the height required.
2nd. The construction and shape of the loose skirt or hood in addition to the
tubes made in the sides of chimney pots and the like now in use.

A New or Improved Hank or Fastening for Sails or the like.
I, ALBERT ROBERT LUKE, Hamble near Southampton, Boat Builder, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A sail hank for the purpose of attaching sails of vessels to stays, or other purposes.
The hank is made of iron, brass or copper in two pieces, one the main or standing
part, the other the moving part working on a pivot, to allow the opening. The
moving part is halved into the main part at pivot & is thinned away at one end
to make it slide on the main part.
The idea is that directly the stay touches the moving part it closes & the strain
keeps it so.
It is sewn on to sails at the end where holes are made for that purpose.
ALBERT ROBERT LUKE, Hamble near Southampton, Boat Builder, 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 new or improved hank or fastening for sails, the
object being to provide a hank or fastening for sails in which the strain upon the
hank will tend to keep same closed or secure and the same is carried out as
follows:-
Referring to the annexed drawings:-
Figure 1. Side elevation of my hank or fastening in its closed position.
Figure 2. Side elevation of my hank or fastening in its open position.
Figures 3 & 4. Cross sections of movable link & hank.

Improved Process for Treating Dry Materials (more particularly
Fibrous Substances) with Liquid.
I, ALFRED VOGELSANG, of 54" Rosenstrasse, Dresden, Saxony, in the Empire
of Germany, 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 process for treating dry materials (more particularly
fibrous materials) with a liquid under high pressure.
The object of the invention is to saturate rapidly and equally dry fibrous
substances with liquid, and for this purpose, the following process is employed:-
Vacuum is produced in the usual manner in an hermetically closed vessel in which
the dry fibrous materials are placed, and liquid is then conveyed into the vacuum
chamber as rapidly as possible by means of a high pressure pump, and immediately
brought to a pressure of 50 or more atmospheres.
The liquid in consequence of the high pressure permeates evenly through the
dry fibrous material. This high pressure is stationary, that is to say the liquid is
not forced to circulate through the fibrous material as is done in other patented
processes where at the most a pressure of 5 atmospheres is made use of and in which
processes liquid continually renewed is forced by means of a pressure pump to
circulate through moist (or damp) fibrous material.
The process herein before described requires that the fibrous materials to be
treated shall be subjected to the action of the liquid in the hermetically closed
vessel, always when in a dry condition.
With damp or moist material the process cannot be carried out even with vacuum
and high pressure, as the originally existing moisture produces counterpressure,
and an equal saturation of the fibrous materials for instance with liquid is not
attained.
Experiments have shown that it is possible by means of the process hereinbefore
described to thoroughly evenly dye or bleach, dry, raw, unboiled fibrous materials,
such for instance as cotton, cops, twilled hanks, meshed fabrics and the like.
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 process for treating materials more particularly fibrous material,
with liquid, which consists in treating the dry material in an hermetically closed
vessel practically in vacuo with a liquid at a pressure of 50 or more atmospheres
for the purpose of evenly or equally saturating said material, substantially as
hereinbefore described.

A New or Improved Process for Producing Enamel Pictures.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Process for Producing Enamel Pictures.
I, THEODOR BERGMANN, of Gaggenau, Baden, 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:-
Hitherto pictures in enamel have been mainly produced by painting with
enamel paints on previously burnt enamel surfaces, or by filling in various colours
placed side by side on surfaces bordered with lines. My improved process differs
very essentially from those hitherto employed.
According to this process the enamels prepared with water are painted, or spread
side by side on ground or unground metal plates without any border lines. The
various enamels, therefore, run together at their edges, and must, in order to effect
this, be kept constantly moist during the work, without for instance watery streaks
or bubbles resulting.
The various figures of the picture, such as houses, animals, etcetera, are painted
with suitably coloured enamel and then in order to produce an artistic picture
suitable grades or shades of enamel paints are painted on the unburnt enamel
surface or foundation, side by side and into one another and in a suitable number
of layers on one another without previously burning the foundation or ground.
For this purpose enamels mixed with oxide and vitrifiable paints or colours are
employed, to which water is added.
In order that they may be spread or filled in smoothly and watery streaks or
bubbles avoided, and also that the picture shall not crack, the foundation is evenly
sprinkled with water. Generally speaking the foundation is so prepared that it
does not absorb an unnecessary amount of enamel.
If, for instance, it be desired to paint a portrait, the various flesh tints, dark aud
light shadings are painted thereon one into another. Clear lights may be placed
with confidence on dark spots, which is absolutely impossible with the present
method of enamel painting.
The foundation is always covered because the enamel paint colours possess a
considerable spreading or covering power.
This improved process may be employed on other substances than metal, such
for instance as earthenware or porcelain plates.
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 process for the production of enamel pictures, consisting of
spreading further layers of enamel in suitable number side by side and one on
the other on unburnt enamel surfaces or grounds without previously burning in
separately such layers of enamel, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improved Window Fastener.
RICHARD ELLIS, 17 Bold Street, Bacup, Lancashire, Postman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The fastener when attached to the window frames, make them quite secure from
being opened from the outside, by means of a knife pushed up between the
frames for the purpose of shooting the fastener (C & F) back, as is the common
make of others. The pin E, placed through the hole of top A, stops all that,
which completely does away with all other adjustments for that purpose, & at the

An Improved Apparatus for Cleansing Incandescence Burners and
Mantles.
I, PAUL PHILIPP ADOLPH, of the Firm of Otto Schumann of 7, Beuth Strasse,
Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, 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 the present application relates to an apparatus easily handled by
unskilled persons which is designed to remove dust and other impurities which may
have collected in the fabric a of the mantle of an incandescent burner, as also in
the burner pipes b and also in the upper perforated cover c of the head of the
burner. In the cover of a box d capable of being closed by means of a lid is fixed
a tube e to the end of which passing into the interior of the box there is fixed an
air tube e', whilst the other end of the tube projects above the cover of the box,
an india-rubber ring pushed over the tube down to the cover of the box serves
to form an elastic support for the burner head 6 which is placed upon the upper
end of the tube e and (as well known) bears the glass gallery g with the glass h
and the mantle a.
In order to be able to take off and replace the glass for the purpose of cleansing
without damaging the mantle a supporting tube i which is suitably provided with
a guide tongue is pushed over the glass. This guide tube grips elastically the
tin plate mantle 2 placed over the box d whereby the guiding tube is held by the
said tin plate mantle.
In order to clean the parts of the burner a stream of air is directed from below
through the burner tube by means of the mouth through the glass tube e which
is fixed to the free end of the air tube, and thereby all portions of dirt or dust and
other impurities are blown away.
After the cleansing is completed the glass is again replaced, the guide tube i if
requisite drawn over the glass and the burner is again replaced in its position for
further use. In the box d the guide tube i, and the air pipe e¹ may be placed
together with any other small objects requisite for cleansing, such as brushes
for the glass, dusters, polisbing powder for the metal portions of the burner and
so forth.
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 box and apparatus for the cleansing of incandescent burners and mantles
characterised by the provision of an air pipe connection e¹ e together with a
tubular support e to support the burner, which support e projects as the continuation
of air pipe e above the lid of the box d with or without a guide tube i adjustable
upon the box lid for the removal and replacing of the burner glasses before and
after the cleansing.

Ozone Compounds for Medicinal Purposes.
I, ERICH LANGHELD, of No. 16, Sophien-Charlotten Strasse, Charlottenburg,
near Berlin Germany, 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 the production of compounds for medicinal purposes,
in particular for the treatment of tuberculosis.
The said compounds consist of a solution of ozone gas in an aqueous solution of
a quinine salt, or in an animal oil, in particular cod liver oil. The solution of the
ozone is prepared by introducing an air current, ozonised according to known
methods, into a solution of quinine or of the salts thereof in water or into_cod
liver oil, either under ordinary atmospheric pressure or a higher pressure. This
solution can also be produced by spraying the aqueous solution of the quinine or
the cod liver oil into a volume of czone gas.
The unpleasant flavour of the quinine solution can be corrected by the addition
of a suitable substance, such as chloroform.
The new medicinal compounds are particularly suitable for curing tuber-
culosis.
On account of the property possessed by the solutions of killing microbes,
I propose to call them "Antimicrobicon."
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 :-
Medicinal compounds consisting of a solution of ozone gas in the aqueous
solutions of quinine salts, or in animal oils, in particular cod liver oil.

A Novel Combination of Superheaters with Multitubular Boilers.
We, FREDERICK CLENCH, and THOMAS SCOTT KING, both of Lincoln Works,
Chesterfield, County of Derby, Mechanical Engineers, 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 formation of a superheater in connection with a
multitubular boiler at that end where the hot gases leave it by continuing the
tubes, or by placing other tubes at the end of the tubes of a multitubular boiler,
and the space between and around them and of the outer shell forming a chamber
into which the saturated steam is led and is caused to come into contact with the
tubes containing the hot gases passing from the boiler tubes, the object being to
improve the method of superheating steam at the outer end of a multitubular
boiler of locomotive or other type.
Figure 1 of the drawings shows a superheater rivetted in the barrel of a multi-
tubular boiler.
Figure 2 of the drawing shows a superheater as a separate vessel attached to a
multitubular boiler.
In the boiler A Figure 1 two tube plates marked B B are secured by a steam
tight joint to the shell A and the tubes C expanded into the tube plates B B.
To the boiler A Figure 2 is attached an elongation A' or separate vessel as a
superheater and in the end plates B₁ B', extra and enlarged tubes C¹ C' are fitted
as extensions of the ordinary tubes C C.
The course of the steam through the superheater can be controlled by placing a
number of diaphragm plates on the tubes so that the steam on its passage through
the superheater has to follow in the direction of the arrows shown on drawing and
thereby made to impinge upon the tubes containing the hot gases leaving the
boiler, or the diaphragm plates can be omitted.
Having now particularly 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 :-
The formation of a superheater in connection with a multitubular boiler at that
end where the hot gases leave it by continuing the tubes, or by placing other tubes
at the end of the tubes of a multitubular boiler, and the space between and around
them and of the outer shell forming a chamber into which the saturated steam is
led and is caused to come into contact with the tubes containing the hot gases
passing from the boiler tubes substantially as specified.

Improvements in the Construction of Clutch-nails or Clamps for
Fastening Lids on Boxes, Packing Crates, Buckets, and the
like.
I, HUGH DE HAVEN of 19 Wellington Street, in the County, of the City of
Glasgow, North Britain. 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of clutch-nails or
clamps for fastening lids on boxes, packing crates, buckets and the like.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect, I have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings, on the several figures
of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a clutch-nail or clamp constructed according to my
invention.
Figure 2 is a plan.
Figure 3 is perspective view of part of box shewing my clutch-nail or clamp
applied thereto.
Figures 4 and 5 are respectively side elevation and transverse sections of different
construction of the body of the clutch-nail or clamp.
The clutch-nail or clamp consists of a flexible flat band or ribbon A of copper
or other suitable flexible material, the ends or extremities B and B of which are
stiff and are or may be rounded and pointed similar to an ordinary nail. These
two ends B and B are bent downwards and inwards so that they lie at a suitable
angle. The driving surface C, as will be seen from the drawings is somewhat
similar to the head of an ordinary nail so that it will not turn when being driven
home, but will allow the ends or extremities B and B to sink direct into the
wood.
In fastening lids on boxes or such like, the flexible portion or body A is bent
inwards towards the centre and it is placed in position and the prongs or ends B
and B' are then driven home into the wood, the one, B, going into the lid D, while
the other, B', goes into the body E of the box, crate, or other article-seen more
particularly in Figure 3-thereby completely clamping or fixing the two together,
and one prong pulling hard against the other prevents the clamp from working out
in the case of transportation.
In place of the body of the clutch nail or clamp being a flat flexible band, the
outer surface may be corrugated or bridged as shewn in Figure 4, or convex as
shewn in Figure 5, and the prongs may, if found desirable, be barbed, and
coated with a solution or substance which gives them a much greater hold on the
wood.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-

POSTON High Street, Ilford Butcher do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to dispense with the use of boards & cards for
signs & to admit of the daylight through them thus making them much lighter.
For this purpose I fix metal letters on wire frames, thus forming a skeleton board,
using the wires only to hold the letters in their necessary positions.

FREDERICK JOHN WATTS 7 Kings Ilford Tin Plate Worker FRANK POSTON
High Street Ilford Butcher 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 invention consists of an improved method of fixing letters without the aid of
a board for advertising & other purposes, by these means boards are entirely
dispensed with, this is produced in the following manner.
use cut out letters of the desired size & shape, these letters are either cut out
of sheet iron tin-zinc-wood papier maché or any metal material or substance
suitable for my purpose of shaping & making the required letters.
As I use no boards in any way, so as to make it a boardless sign I fix my letters
together on or by wire either of tin-copper or galvanized or any kind of wire or
wood, or any substance or material by which the letters are held together in their
different positions to form the required words or sentences, such letters being fixed
by solder, rivets, wire, nails, staples or pressure, or any means to hold the same in
their place. These letters are made of different thicknesses & strength according
to requirements.
These are specially suited for publicans signs & I choose a dark back ground to
the different sigus thus giving them a much better effect & it also hides the means
by which the letters are held together.
These signs offer no resistance to the wind in comparison to the boards & can
therefore be placed where a board cannot, as the wind escapes through them
consequently they are lighter & require little support & being fixed on skeleton
frames instead of boards they can be easily re-painted without skill.
These signs can be made in sections where they are large, the letters when
fixed & finished are arranged in such positions as letters would be if painted on
hoorde

page_text: Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention & in what
manner it is performed I declare that what I claim is
A boardless or skeleton sign by letters fixed in position by some means herein
mentioned for the purpose of forming the required words & sentences without the
use of boards.
