JOSEPH GERARD 257 King's Road Chelsea London Mechanical Bootmaker
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 soft pliable and cool saddle, and it
consists essentially in covering the saddle frame with a seat made of canvas wool or
similar textile fabric, instead of the usual leather seat now used.
The canvas or other textile fabric may be either blocked woven or cut to the
required shape.
For strengthening the edges where it is fixed to the framework it is advisable to
attach by means of stitching, some thin leather, as also at the sides to take the
friction caused by the action of the legs in pedaling.
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
Making a cycle saddle seat of canvas wool or similar textile fabric, blocked,
woven or cut to shape.

which the mechanism of the cock is rendered accessible for cleaning.
The valve is located in a pipe branching off vertically from said joining-piece
and serving as outlet. In this branch is fitted a valve seat with a valve. By the
liquid behind it the valve is kept pressed on its seat thus constituting a perfectly
water-tight closure.
For opening a piece of pipe introduced into the vertical outlet is raised either
direct or by means of a lever device, thus raising at the same time the body of the
valve so that the way for the liquid leads through the valve-opening, through cuts
in the lifting pipe and finally through the pipe itself.

1 SEPTIMUS ROSTRON of 74 St. Luke's Road Southport, Lancashire, Painter,
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 in certain improvements to copper or wash boiler grates,
as shewn in the accompanying drawings.
For the fire grate, a frame A is fixed in the brickwork, to receive a grid, the
grid B being loose is put in frame A. after.
For the opening is a frame C with flanges on both sides to allow the brickwork
to be built round and within the flanges, also a loose door D both sides alike, to be
put on and taken off at will, making it interchangable.
A copper or boiler fitted up with the improvements herein described, have the
following advantages.
When the grid B is burnt out it can be replaced through the door frame C,
without taking down any brickwork.
By the frame C being as wide as the brickwork, it causes greater heat under the
copper or boiler.
The door D by being loose, can be replaced with a new one, should one get
broken, without interfering or taking down any part of the brickwork.
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
The improvements made to copper or boiler fire-grates substantially as herein set
forth. and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

A New or Improved Clip for Suspending Curtains and the like.
I DENNIS DANIEL DENDY of High House, Cranworth, Shipdham, Norfolk,
Journeyman Butcher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described an
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved clip for use with curtains and like articles,
and has for its object to provide a simple and effective device for this purpose
which can be rapidly attached and detached as required.
In carrying out my invention, I employ a metal strip bent into U shape, one side
of which is cut away at the centre, leaving an arm at each end. These arms form
bearings for the pivots of a lever of L shape, the front of which is provided with
teeth. This lever is adapted to be turned so as to bring the toothed edge against
the opposite side of the strip or frame, and when in this position the curtain or
other article will be gripped securely and held in position.
The top of the clip is provided with a hook by which it is attached to the
cornice pole or other article.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a cross section of the clip showing it in closed position,
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the clip open,
Fig. 3 is an elevation of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 is an underside view of the clip.
A is the frame or body of the clip formed with the arms or extensions a at one
side, serving to carry the lever. The lever B which serves to close the clip is
pivoted at the ends b of the arms a and is provided with the finger piece or
extension by which it is operated. When this finger piece is turned up as shown
in Fig. 1 the curtain or other fabric is gripped between the front of B and the
side A, B being provided with the teeth 6 at the front. When the curtain is to.
be released the finger piece is pulled back and downwards to the position shown in
Fig. 2. When the clip is in closed position any pull on the enrtain will only tend
to make it close more firmly, and the finger piece b¹ abutting against the top of
the clip prevents the lever being pulled too far."
The hook is fixed at the top of the clip for the attachment of the cornice
pole and the like.
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) An improved clip for curtains and like articles consisting of a strip bent into
Ushape, and provided with arms at one side, carrying a lever with a serrated edge,
substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(2) The improved clip for curtains and the like constructed and operating
substantially in the manner described and shown in the accompanying drawings,

HERBERT JOHN HADDAN of the Firm of Herbert Haddan & Co., of
18 Buckingham Street, Strand, London, W.C., Patent Agent, do hereby declnie
the nature of thus invention, a communication to me from abroad by Achille
Fortou, of Antwerp in the Kingdom of Belgium, 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 to utilize precious stones of small and com-
paratively cheap sizes of different qualities or waters, so that a built up stone of
Inigor size and better water may be formed without the parts of junction being
readily visible.
In carrying out the invention I prefer to take a small stone such as a crown 10se
or flat rose diamond for use as an upper table and fit it on a lower table or coulasse,
cut brilliant fashion and thus form a brilliant, and if the rose or the coulasse is
not of the whiteness or colour desned, I cut off part of the latter, namely the apex
of the lower table and fit thereon a white or a coloured piece and so conect the
colour of the whole. I may thus build up stones of any convenient number of
pieces of genuine or false stones or of both which I may have specially cut for the
purpose, o I may have them partially cut or polished after they are built up. The
building up on piecing together I accomplish by heating the stones and pressing
the parts together which parts may be cut plane or in stops or other wise at then
parts of junction
Having now particularly described and ascertamed the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim 18

The method of forming combined precious or false stones by building up or
piecing together diamonds or other precious or cut stoues from two or more parts
of the same oi of different kinds of precious or other stones, by juxtaposition of
the said parts in the manner described

I, RUPERT LEWIS CLARKE, of The Forbury, Reading, Berkshire, 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 a method of malting wheat and has for its object to
produce a specially malted wheat that is more suitable for use in combination or
to be blended with unmalted wheat for use in the manufacture of bread, biscuit and
other foods, than the ordinary malt of commerce.
PROCESS OF MALTING THE WHEAT.
The wheat should be first cleaned, then soaked in water made slightly alkaline
with fresh burnt lime for 24 hours, the water is then run off and more water added
not alkaline and the wheat allowed to soak or macerate until it has absorbed from
30 to 35 per cent. of water (the temperature of the water should not be less
than 50° Fah.) the percentage to be calculated on 100 parts or aliquot parts
of 100. When the wheat is in steeping the "test quantity "should occasionally be
taken out and the superfluous water drained off; if 100 parts of the wheat before
soaking should after maceration weigh from 140 to 150 parts the wheat is
sufficiently soaked. The wheat should now be drained of the water and allowed
to stay in the cistern for about 12 hours, then thrown out into a heap afterwards
spreading out to chit and grow, or germinate.
The wheat should be allowed to grow, or germinate, until the "rootlet" is the
length of the grain of wheat or a trifle longer, when sufficiently grown or germinated
it should be dried on the kiln; the temperature of the hot air beneath the floor of
the kiln proper should range between 90° and 95° Fah., in no case should the
temperature exceed 100° Fah.
All wheats are not uniform in the time required to absorb suffieient moisture, or
to grow, or germinate, or, in the percentage of the grains that do grow or ger-
minate; therefore the malted wheat should be standardized before mixing it with
other meal by any well known and suitable method.
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 improved method or process for the preparation of malted wheat substan-
tially as herein described and for the purposes specified.

An Improved Musical Top.
I, JOHN BRIERLEY HOWARD, of the Firm of Brierley & Howard, Penny Bank
Chambers, Halifax, in the County of York, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention, which has been communicated to me by Fritz Selle, of
Sprockhövel, Architect, and Eduard Otten, of Essen on the Ruhr, Tinman, both
in the Empire of Germany, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of an improved means for operating musical tops, which
being made to rotate, produces musical notes similar to those of the Eolian-harp,
and according to the number of the reeds, and the size and number of the air holes,
so are the sounds high or low.
Such being the nature and odject of my said invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which
shews the musical top under operation.
The invention comprises a top or gig a attached and mounted on the double
string b. The top with respect to its form, and the disposition of the tune pro-
ducing contrivance, is exactly the same as the tops which under the name of
"musical tops," are already an object of commerce, that is to say, on the inside
there is a disc c with the notches and lips, which latter are made to vibrate by
the draught of air entering the openings d, and going out through the openings e,
and which then produce the musical tunes. The double string b passes through
the top, and is fastened to each side of the top at points diametrically opposite to
each other. In order to make the top rotate and sound, the string 6 is twisted by
swinging it around its longitudinal axis (as on the dotted lines) then the string is
eased off, and then it is again drawn tight, and so on, till the top is made to rotate
quickly, and to produce its musical sounds.
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 improved means of mounting and operating a musical top attached to a
double string, so that the top is made to rotate by alternately twisting the
string, and easing it off again, whereby the top is made to give forth Eolian-harp
like tunes.

I, ENNO VON EYNERN, of 50 Forstrasse, Rathenow, 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 a holder for neck-ties and the like which effectually

fastener for the neck-tie.
If a tie such as that shown in Figure 3 be used for example, one end of it is
passed from below through the loop or hook c, and the other end after being passed
round the neck is passed through the loop of the tie as shown and the two ends
may then be tied in any way that may be desired. With such an arrangement the
tie once passed through the loop or hook c can never get displaced.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-

Improvements in Dogs' Muzzles.
I, CARL SCHELZE, of 36 Husarenstrasse, Braunschweig, Germany, Merchant do-
hereby declare the nature of my said 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 a basket muzzle for dogs which is free from the
defects of the similar devices hitherto used. The improved muzzle is shown in the
accompanying drawings.
In the ordinary basket muzzles the dog has a strap in front of its nose which
causes pressure on that organ, and is a hindrance to the animal when on the scent.
As shown in the drawings the basket muzzle constructed according to this invention.
leaves the dog's nose entirely free and hence fulfils the long wished-for requirement
of dog owners. The two straps f and e are a still further boon to the animal by
forming a flap or vane which allows the dog to readily eat and drink. As soon as
the dog bends his head downwards for the purpose of eating, this flap or vane
opens at an angle of about 60°. Such an opening however can only take place
when the dog bends its head down towards the ground with a view of eating or
drinking. As soon however as the dog raises its head the flap falls again in front
of its mouth and the dog is accordingly prevented from biting under all circum-
stances as the flap is prevented, by the projection of the eyelet i, from being
reversed upwardly and thus from releasing the dog's snout. The lower strap d is
likewise provided as a protection against biting. At the same time the dog
can, in case of perspiration, hang his tongue through the strap d without being
at all impeded by the flap. The lower side-straps band vare sufficiently
separated one from the other to allow the dog to open its mouth conveniently for
the purpose of gaping. The round strap 9 which is wider in the centre and
above serves to carry the basket muzzle and does not cause the least inconvenience
to the dog.
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 basket muzzle for dogs characterized by a strap d fixed to three side
straps a, b, c, and two movable straps, e, connected to the upper strap a and
prevented by the projection h fixed to the eyelets i from being folded in an upward.
direction.

spring acting ou the end m of the pawl.
In the employment of this clamp, the arm c is first moved into approximate
position whereupon the nose b' will engage it automatically. The hand lever h¹ is
then moved to cause the stem d to be lifted by the excentric h.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A clamp having an angular bar a with teeth b with which engages an arm c
carrying at its end a movable stem d adapted to be moved longitudinally by an
excentric operated by a hand lever and adapted to be retained by a pawl and
ratchet wheel substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Roofing Tiles.
I, FRANZ AUGUST KRAUSE of Schneidemühl in the Kingdom of Prussia,.
Manufacturer of Cement Goods, 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 tiles for roofs and consists in an improved formation of
tiles made of cement, the object of the invention being to obtain a level joint of the
adjacent tiles and to prevent the water percolating through the joint from passing.
to the underside of the tiles more effectually than with tiles hitherto used.
On the drawing appended hereunto
Fig. 1. is a top view of the improved tile.
Figs. 2 and 3 are sections along lines x- and y-y of Fig. 1 respectively.
Fig. 4 is a.perspective view of a portion of a roof. formed of said tiles.
In carrying out my invention, I form the tiles as shown by Fig. 3 each with a.
stepped groove a. b. c. at one edge on the upper side and a correspondingly stepped
groove a b c at the other edge on the under side, so that in two adjacent tiles
the edge of one forms a fillet fitting into the groove of the other, leaving however
The rising
preferably a small space between the faces a and a¹ as shown.
steps b. and c. following upon the groove a prevent the water percolating through
the joint d of the tile surface from passing to the underside of the tile and out.
of the joint e on the underside, but such water flows off on the bottom of groove a.
The vertical sides of the steps are slightly inclined to insure a good fit, and inter-
locking of the adjacent tiles and the joint between two tiles is level on the top and
prevents any considerable percolation of water into the joint d.
The number of steps in the grooves at the sides of the tile may be varied ;.
preferably the number is limited to two, as shown on the drawings, as a once repeated
rise suffices to prevent the passage of water to the underside of the joint. The
top surface of the tile may be made level or with straight sided or curved
corrugations.
As a modification two sorts of tiles may be used for covering a roof, one having
stepped grooves at both edges on the upper side and the other similar grooves at
both edges on the underside of the tile.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
The manufacture, use and construction of cement roofing tiles formed with stepped
grooves at their edges so arranged that in two adjacent tiles the groove is on the
underside of one and the upper side of the other, substantially as herein before-
described and illustrated and for the purpose set forth.

We,
THE CHLORIDE ELECTRICAL STORAGE SYNDICATE LIMITED, of Clifton
Junction, near Manchester, and JOHN GUSTAF ADOLF RHODIN of Clifton Hall,
near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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 :-
When it is attempted to manufacture chloride of lead by the action of hydro-
chloric acid on lead monoxide at ordinary temperatures and pressures, a large
excess of hydrochloric acid and boiling for a lengthened period are necessary, and
even then the reaction is not complete, some monoxide of lead being always left,
which is not acted on.
In order to render the reaction complete we arrange that it is carried on under
considerable pressure and at high temperature in the following manner. We heat
litharge with a quantity of hydrochloric acid, slightly in excess of the theoretical
amount required, in an autoclave, lined with acid resisting material, to a temperature
of 200° C. under a pressure of 15 atmospheres.
The reaction under these circumstances is complete in a very short time.
When
the whole has cooled, the autoclave is opened to discharge the contents consisting
of chloride of lead with a supernatant liquor of weak hydrochloric acid, which may
be separated in any suitable manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The herein described manufacture of chloride of lead by subjecting litharge to
the action of hydrochloric acid at high temperature and pressure.

A communication from abroad by WILLIAM ROBERTSON MACDONALD, Clerk,
and PROMOTHONATH GANGULI, Silver Smith, both of 49, South Road,
Entally, in the Suburbs of the City of Calcutta, in the Empire of India.
I, DAVID JOHNSTONE MACDONALD, of 30, Dens Road, Dundee, in the County
of Forfar, North Britain, 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, that is to say :-
My invention consists in the use as a polishing agent of finely pulverised mica
attached to strong paper or cloth.
In carrying out this invention we employ mica which we reduce to a fine powder
by crushing, pounding, or grinding and then subject it to a process of elutriation
or of calcination or both. By these means we secure powder of different degrees
of fineness, which we affix in sufficient quantities by means of glue or other suitable
cement to sheets of strong paper or to cloth of suitable texture. The sheets of
paper or cloth thus prepared are then thoroughly dried either by exposure to the
sun or air, or both, or by means of artificial heat as by the employment of a stove
or other efficient drying apparatus. The paper or cloth with its surface coating of
pulverised mica prepared in the manner hereinbefore described forms a polishing
paper suitable according to its degree of fineness for the purpose of polishing metals
whether in large surfaces or in the finer forms in which jewellers work them up ;
and superior to and cheaper than any of the polishing papers now employed for
similar purposes.
my
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what we
claim is :-
The manufacture of polishing materials by cementing pulverised mica on paper
or cloth as herein before described.

Improvements in Coats and similar Garments.
I, JOHN MARTINDALE THOMPSON of 70 Market Street, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Merchant 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 :-
In coats and similar garments for personal wear, the fore-parts are commonly
lined with a stiff fabric such as horse-hair cloth and the like, which when the
garment is closely folded and packed for travelling, and also in ordinary wear,
frequently breaks, and thus impairs the fit and appearance of the garment.
My invention is intended to obviate this defect and for this purpose I cement or
otherwise secure upon the horse-hair or similar lining fabric, transverse narrow
strips of indiarubber, the substance and elasticity of which will prevent the lining
from being so closely folded as to produce breaks or cracks.
The strips of indiarubber may conveniently be cut from indiarubber insertion
about 30 thousandths of an inch in thickness and from one half to three quarters of
an inch in width. If the indiarubber be coated on one side, with marine glue or a
similar cementitious compound, before the strips are cut therefrom, they may be
secured upon the linings in the required positions, by laying them in place, cemented
side downward, and passing a warm iron over them.
The strips may be at any suitable distances apart, about 3 or 4 inches being
commonly convenient, but they will of course be so placed as to avoid the button
holes.
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 the fore-parts of coats and similar garments, a lining consisting of a stiff
fabric such as horse-hair cloth or the like, upon which there are secured transverse
strips of flexible material such as indiarubber, substantially as and for the purpose
hereinbefore described.
