COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Collapsible Water Holding Apparatus.
I, BARONESS GABRIELLE HEYKING, Seignory of Meks, via Rasick Railway
Station, Baltic Railway, Russia, 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 collapsible frame adapted to support a waterproof
sheet or the like serving to contain water, and which, when not in use, can be
folded up so as to occupy but little space, being thus easily stored.
It is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,
Fig. 1, is a perspective view of the frame which is made in hinged half parts;
Fig. 2, is a section on line at, showing the frame in use; and
Fig. 3, illustrates the connection of the half parts of the frame.
The frame is made without a bottom and in two half parts, b, c, each consisting
of several parts connected by hinges, d. These hinges open outward and inward
alternately, so that the separate parts of each half part of the frame can be folded
against one another when not in use.
As will be seen in Fig. 3, the head-ends of the half parts, b, c, are connected
with one another, and may be so connected by any convenient means which will
allow the same to be readily detached. The drawings show a connection by
dovetailing.
A waterproof sheet, a, of india rubber or the like laid over the frame serves to
receive the water.
A collapsable frame constructed as stated is very suitable for bathing purposes,
the water used for douching, say, flowing into the sheet, a. To pour away the
water, the sheet is seized at the gathered-up corners and carried to a sink or the
like.
To prevent accidental collapse of the parts united by hinges, they may be
secured by bolts or the like.
The separate parts of the frame need not be solid panels, as bamboo rods,
wicker-work or the like may also be used.
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 collapsable frame adapted to support a waterproof sheet or the like serving
to contain water and characterised by being made in half parts each consisting
of several parts connected by hinges. so that the frame may be folded up when
not in use, as set forth.

Improved Press or Squeezer for Expressing Juice from Meat and other Substances.
Year: 1898

page_text: Improved Press or Squeezer for Expressing Juice from Meat
and other Substances.
I, DR. CARL KLEIN, of Giessen, Grand Duchy of Hesse, in the Empire of
Germany, Physician, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
-
This invention relates to a press or squeezer for expressing juice from meat
and other substances and has for its object to provide for domestic use a cheap,
efficient, and easily cleanable apparatus.
The apparatus is illustrated in the drawings wherein Figure 1 shews a vertical
section and Figures 2 and 3 face views of the pressing cup and plunger.
In order to facilitate cleaning, the press is formed of a number of easily
separable parts, and as in the case of meat a high degree of pressure is required
and the operation cannot be efficiently performed between flat surfaces, the press
is formed essentially of a hemispherical cup (B) and plunger (C), the cup (B)
being mounted by its shoulder (b) in a seat (a) in a ring frame (A) which may
be supported on a stand (M) provided with means of clamping it to the table.
The plunger (C) is worked by a screw (S) provided with a handle (s) and work-
ing through a nut in a cover or bridge piece engaged by claws (d) with a
flange (a) on the ring (A) and secured by a bayonet or other fastening, the
screw (S) bearing on the boss (c) of the plunger. Both the plunger (C) and
cup (B) are formed with angular ribs (1) on the pressing faces which inter-
mesh and by increasing the area of the pressure surface, and therefore that of
the press cake, enable the meat to be pressed to better advantage. The cup (B)
has orifices (6) for the escape of the juice which runs down the outside and
collects towards the middle whence it drops into a receptacle beneath. The cup
and plunger are cast or otherwise correspondingly formed out of solid material
so that irregularities of form which would hinder the intermeshing of the ribs
and detract from the efficiency of the pressing, are avoided, and in order to
ensure the accurate relation of the ribs of the plunger to those of the cup the
cup is provided with a lug (g) on which fits a notch (9¹) in the plunger. All
the parts being separable, the press can be easily cleaned and the cup (B) and
plunger (C), which alone come in contact with the juices, can be disinfected by
boiling.

Trusses, Splints, Artificial Limbs and the like.
I, JULIUS DEBORDE, of 9, Hallesches, Ufer Berlin, S.W., in the Empire of
Germany, 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:-
-
Bandages, trusses supports or splints for retaining parts of the body in set
positions artificial limbs, and the like have hitherto been made with a padding of
horse hair felt or like material.
Such padding or filling has the disadvantage of gradually becoming harder of
absorbing perspiration and becoming unhygienic and of producing a considerable
heating of the parts to which they are applied and of causing a burning sensa-
tion owing to their being bad conductors of heat.
This invention consists in a new padding or filling for such bandages etc.
which obviates the above drawbacks.
The new filling is constituted by a mass which consists chiefly of a mixture of
glue or gelatine and glycerine in about equal parts.
This mixture may be
beaten up when liquid to form foam for the purpose of increasing its elasticity
and reducing weight. It is then cast into suitable moulds left to cool provided
with a covering and used for bandages.
The material is very elastic it can be compared as to its softness and elasticity
to the flesh of the human body and adapts itself to any forms.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;-

The movement of the latch 1 is effected not by turning the knob, as hitherto,
but by means of a spring-controlled spindle 2 carrying a cone or inclined part 3,
inovable transversely of the latch.
This cone 3 acts on a roller 4 arranged on the latch 1. The ends of the spindle 2
are provided with knobs 5 for pushing or pulling..
The end of the latch is preferably provided, for the purpose of reducing friction,
with a roller 6, and in this way a latch is created having the above mentioned
advantages.
The latch-arrangement may be of course of any desired construction. Owing
to the spindle 2 being spring-controlled, the plates are not liable to become loose.
Owing to the rollers 4 and 6 the door can be closed easily and noiselessly.
Obviously the arrangement described can be also used as a rim or motice lock.
Figure 3 shows how the roller 4 is arranged for a lifting latch.
The latch 1 is pivoted at 8 and controlled by a spring. The roller 4 instead of
being in a horizontal plane passing through the centre of the cone as in Figure 2
is arranged in a vertical central plane of the cone 3.
The dotted lines indicate the raised position of the latch 1 when the spindle 2
of the cone is pulled or pushed.
Suitable guides may be provided for limiting and regulating the lateral move-
ment of the latch, which may be normally pressed forward by a spring or springs.
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. A door or similar latch comprising a spring controlled spindle 2 movable
transversely of the latch and provided with a cone 3 adapted to act upon the latch

Improvements in Printing Machines.
I, GEORGE DALRYMPLE STEWART, of 92, George Street, Edinburgh, Manu-
facturing Stationer, 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:―
i
My invention relates to improvements in printing machines whereby certain
advantages are obtained.
My invention is particularly applicable to that class of printing machines
known as the ordinary platen letter press printing machine.
In order to render the description of my invention clearer I have appended
a sheet of drawings showing my invention applied to an ordinary letter press
printing machine. In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the platen
and guard.
Figure 2 is a side elevation showing the machine in its open position.
Figure 3 is a side elevation showing the machine in its closed position.
In such a machine I employ a strip of thin brass or other suitable material
which I shall here-after for the purposes of this Specification term the guard, in
the drawings it is marked A, hinged by means of hinges H at or near the top
of platen P. This guard is connected by means of levers L, L' with the
reciprocating part R whose principal function is to actuate the platen. Upon
the upward motion of the platen P the guard A is thrown forward from the posi-
tion shown in Figure 2, so as to cover the space between the platen and forme
of type, its final position being shown in Figure 3, while upon the downward or
retrograde motion of the platen the said guard is again actuated by the
levers L, L' until it finally occupies its original position so as to admit of easy
feeding and making ready.
My invention practically precludes the possibility of danger to the operator
as the guard or flap intervenes to prevent the hand being caught when the platen
closes.
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:-
In printing machines, a hinged guard or flap automatically actuated by a
moving part of the machine substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

soap, turpentine, vinegar and linseed oil in suitable proportions and also to the
method of preparation.
According to this invention, one pound of white Castile soap is shaved very
finely and put into a jar containing about two gallons of turpentine, and is then
left for some hours, further turpentine being added as the dissolving process goes
on to keep the jar full.
The jar is then placed in a vessel containing cold water and is gradually boiled
to complete the dissolving of the soap, turpentine being added as required.
.A mixture consisting of 6 gallons of vinegar, 6 gallons of turpentine and 6 gal-
lons of unboiled linseed oil is prepared and the dissolved soap and turpentine added,
the whole being mixed well together and is then ready for use.

I, LOUIS ROSENTHAL, of No. 5, Metzergiessen, Strassburg in the Alsace, German
Empire, 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 a frame for umbrellas or sunshades, which is designed
to give a slender and neat appearance to the umbrella or sunshade when folded,
though the stick is of substantial thickness. This object is attained by making
the ribs and supports of segmental circular cross section and by constructing the
hinges so as to avoid a bulky appearance.
In order that this invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a front view of such an umbrella rib.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section of a portion of the rib.
Figure 4 shows a cross section through the closed umbrella frame and
stick and Figure 5 shows a cross section of the supporting ribs or stays.
The umbrella ribs à have a segmental circular cross section which fits as
near as possible the stick c so that they all lie against the stick c as shown in
Figure 4. The supporting ribs or stays bare of similar section and when the
The rib
umbrella is closed they are situated in the concave side of the ribs a.
ends & are also flat so that a small cup or bell may be used. The ordinary hinges
are avoided; instead of which the edges of the ribs a are slightly drawn together
and the sides of the stays are somewhat extended at f to afford a suitable support
for the hinged joint. The ends h of the supporting ribs or stays b are bent so as
to form loops which engage around pins g situated in the beforementioned joints.
It is not absolutely necessary to confine the segmental circular section of the
ribs to a certain radius of the umbrella stick, as the latter may be thin or thick
without losing in effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
An umbrella frame of which the ribs a and supporting ribs or stays b have cross
sections adapted to the section or outline of the stick c, and form circular seg-
ments which fit the stick along its whole length, the hinges of the ribs or stays b
being formed by drawing in the edges of the ribs a in order to give the umbrella
a slender and neat appearance.

Improvements relating to the Production of Tongue and Slot Plates
for Musical Tongue or Reed Instruments.
I, ERNST PAUL STARK, Merchant, of Markneukirchen, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 method of producing the slot plates
and tongues for accordions and generally for tongue or reed instruments of various
kinds, by which the production is very considerably simplified and the sound and
solidity of such tongues or plates are essentially increased.
The method is represented by help of the annexed drawing. Figs. 1 and 2
show the blank plate in front and side view. Fig. 3 shows the plate with punched
out tongues and tongue openings which latter are laterally limited by the back-
wardly bent parts which have been turned down by the punches. Fig. 4 is a cross
section of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a front view
of the plate finished by being bent over on to itself. Fig. 7 is a cross section
of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a front view of the tune plate with the tongue carrying part
fixed by rivets. Fig. 9 is a cross section of Fig. 8.
The new method consists in punching the plate S with the tongues z simultaneously
out of one piece, whereby the openings o are formed by bending the material in
such a manner back, that on both sides of the openings o there are produced small
flanges, which favor considerably the sound and prevent the bending of the
plate S in the direction of the flanges (Figs. 1-5).
l
After the tongues z are ground or shaped one has only to bend the tongue part A
on to the remainder of the plate S in order to finish the plate.
The tongue part A and the slot part of the plate S may however also be made
separate and connected together by rivetting or screwing.
The slot plate itself can be specially deepened by grooves or swellings.
The principle of the invention is the production of the plate and tongues of
one piece or two connected pieces so that the tongue row consisting of one single
piece is combined integrally with the slot plate, the slots in the latter being
limited by their bent down borders.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
An improved method for producing slot plates and tongues for tongue or reed
instruments whereby the tongues z with the plate S are punched out of one piece
or of two connected pieces and the openings o are formed by bending the material
backward in order to form flanges 1.

I, WILLIAM HENRY WISE, of 8, Grenville Terrace, West Hartlepool, Shipowner,
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 swing derricks by machinery.
The improvement consists essentially in applying a gipsy wheel grooved and
recessed which carries a chain and the ends of which are continued through leading
blocks to the derrick.
In performing this invention I set up a pair of standards to carry a shaft, on
which I key the gipsy or sprocket wheel and a cog wheel; a corresponding spur
wheel on another shaft is rotated by cylinders in the ordinary way.
The gipsy wheel has recesses on its rim to correspond with and embed the
links of a chain.
The chain may be of the bicycle pattern, stud link or other pattern, provided
always that the recesses between the teeth on the gipsy or sprocket wheel corres-
pond with the links of the chain.
The chain is passed under a sheave, then over, but not wound around, the gipsy,
then under another sheave, and the ends are continued through blocks to the
derrick the continuations may be of wire rope.
The lead of the chain from the two sheaves is athwart to the first leading blocks.
Referring to the drawings herewith: in Fig. 1, A is the gipsy wheel, B, B are
the sheaves, C, C is the chain.

An Improved Combined Gag and Disgorger for Fishing Purposes.
I, WILLIAM SMALLWOOD, of Lion Works, Redditch, in the County of Worcester,
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:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved, combined gag and
disgorger for fishing purposes and has for its object to provide a simple means for
disgorging a fishing hook from a fishe's mouth, effected by expanding the jaws of the
fish and then withdrawing the hook.
I will describe my invention by reference to the accompanying drawings the same
letters of reference indicating similar parts throughout.
Fig. 1 represents our improved combined gag and disgorger in a closed position for
insertion in the fishe's mouth.
Fig. 2 shows the same expanded as if in the fishe's mouth.
A is a wire stem terminating in the cork screw coil B, and constituting the
disgorger. D, D represents the gag consisting of the two spring like wires looped or
hinged to the stem A at C and arranged to expand as shown at Fig. 2, or contract as
at Fig. 1 being held in that position by the ring E.
The ends of the gag F, F, are slightly barbed. When desired to disgorge a hook
from the mouth of the fish the coil B is threaded on the line near the fishe's mouth
and rotated by the loop H, till it reaches the hook when the ring E is slipped up and
the disgorger expands as in Fig. 2, thus stretching the fishe's mouth to the full
In this position the stem A is rotated slightly which causes the coil B to hold
and force the hook out from its grip of the fish the force being in the direction of
the barbe of the hook. The disgorger is then closed by the ring E as in Fig. 1 and
withdrawn with the hook from the fishe's mouth.

Improvements in Accommodation Ladders.
I, FREDERICK JOSEPHI PILCHER, residing at The Glen, Blundellsands, in the
County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A ladder according to this invention is so constructed that the steps, or tread,
of the ladder shall lie in a fairly horizontal position irrespective of the angle at
which the ladder lies when it is in position and becomes a means for forming
an access, or exit, to and from ships, or such like, when there is a varying
distance between the ladder top and the surface of the water. My invention is
particularly applicable to accomodation ladders for ships use particularly so when
the ship shall be deeply laden, or when it is of light draft, and the invention is
best described by aid of the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side sectional elevation of the ladder when particularly applicable
for ships under a light draft.
Fig. 2 is a side sectional elevation of the ladder when particularly applicable
for ships deeply laden. On reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the ladder is
constructed with treads, and risers, the treads being marked F, and the risers G, H.
The bottom step E is arranged to revolve, by any suitable means and is kept into
the desired position by pins which pass through the ladder cheek, A, B, C, D,
being the holes for this purpose, the pin ends after passing through the ladder
cheek, are inserted into the body of the step for a suitable distance. When it
is desirable to alter the angle of the tread I turn the ladder over so that its front
face becomes its back face. Fig. 2 shows the ladder turned over, and the lower
step E in suitable position, the pins which in Fig. 1 passed through holes C, D,
are now passed through holes A, B. The risers G, H in Fig. 1 become the
treads as shown in Fig. 2, whilst the treads F, F, shown in Fig. 1 become the
risers as shown in Fig. 2: The position of steps F, F, in Fig. 1 are suitable
when the ladder slope is more acute than in Fig. 2, when the slope is less acute
Fig. 2 shows the ladder turned over, the steps G, H, accomodate themselves to the
altered slope of the ladder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what
I claim is:
1. A ladder so constructed and arranged, with steps and risers, which when
turned over the steps become the risers, and the risers become the steps, particu-
larly as shewn in and set forth with reference to the drawings.
2. The lower or bottom step of a ladder arranged to swivel or rotate by means
of a pivot, and kept in position by one or more pins passing through the ladder
cheek into the step body, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Thrashing Machines.
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 bo
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to thrashing machines and consists in certain new arrange-
ments for separating the grain from the straw before the latter reaches the straw-
shakers.
The object of my invention is to lessen the work of the strawshakers and thereby
also shorten the length of the same and the invention consists in the arrangement
of a grate behind the thrashing drum in the space where straw and grain are
thrown out by said drum.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which A is the
thrashing drum, B the grate and C the strawshakers. The grate B usually consists
of a row of curved wires or rods which are freely suspended and arranged in such
a distance from each others, that they permit the grain to pass through said grate
but catch the straw and convey it downward to the strawshakers. The grain may
be collected in any suitable manner behind the grate. As very little of the grain
in this manner reaches the shakers, the latter may be shortened and thereby the
size of the thrashing machine limited to a minimum..
Though I preferably use the construction described above I do not limit myself
to this, as the construction and arrangement of the grate obviously may be varied.
without departing from the nature of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my 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 :-
1. In a thrashing machine the arrangement of a grate for separating the grain
and straw, which grate is arranged above the strawshakers so that the material
coming from the thrashing drum is thrown against the grate.
2. In a thrashing machine the arrangement of a grate behind the thrashing
drum and above the strawshakers which grate preferably consists of curved wires
or rods arranged at such a distance from each others that they give free passage
to the grain while the straw is caught by the same and led to the strawshakers.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Valuable Organic Products from
Sea-weed.
I, AXEL KREFTING, of 18, Kort Adlersgade, Christiania, in the Kingdom of
Norway, 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 the method for manufacturing valuable organic pro-
ducts from sea-weed described in the Specification of former Patent No. 11538
of 1896.
In carrying out this method I have now finally fixed different details and
particulars, which render the said method successful and save unnecessary costs.
I have found, that it is not necessary to use any acid-solution, which contains
more than 2-3 per cent. of acid. When a stronger solution is used, it causes
a waste of acid, which makes the manufacture unnecessarily expensive.
the same time the salt-solution, when leaving the vessels of acid-treatment, con-
tains a great deal of acid, which must be neutralized with lime for the utilizing
of the salt lye.
At
By using only an acid-solution of a strength, which does not exceed 2-3 per
cent., the elutriation of the sea-weed with an acid-solution can on the contrary
be so regulated, that the salt-solution leaves the vessel of elutriation in a fully
neutralized state.
Further the dissolving of the acid-treated sea-weed must take place in a very
dilute solution of alkali if the cold alkali solution is to penetrate the sea-weed
quickly and cause the rapid dissolving of the same. The strength of the alkaline-
solution must also not exceed 2-3 per cent., if a good result is to be obtained.
Only when the strengths of solutions of acid and alkali do not exceed the above
mentioned percentage, will the process go on in a satisfactory manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The improvements in the manufacture of valuable organic products from sea-
weed by treating it with acid- and alkaline-solution characterized by the applica-
tion of cold and thin solutions of acid and alkali, the strength of which do not
exceed 2 9 per sons.
