Improvements in Horse Rugs and Saddle Cloths.
I, ALBERT FERDINAND SCHRÖTER, Manufacturer, of Limbach, in the Kingdom
of Saxony, German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The present invention consists of a horse rug, as also saddle cloths of every
description made of knitted linen or cotton, and having a rough lining knitted in the
material, instead of being sewn on in the usual manner.
The advantages of cloths of this kind, is that they are more durable [than those
hitherto employed, the rough knitted in lining being of a very yielding nature, and
consequently better able to withstand the friction to which these cloths are
subjected. The linen or cotton material keeps off the wet better than wool, and
yet possesses the requisite porousness, whilst the lining knitted in the cloth; is
warmer than the usual linings which are sewn in.
If cloths of this description are impregnated, they may be rendered waterproof,
without however losing their porosity, and thus form a good substitute for the
rubber waterproof cloths.
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
Horse rugs and saddle cloths of every description, made of knitted cotton, or
linen, and having a rough lining knitted in the same substantially as described.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tires.
We, HENRY WOOD and ISAAC WOOD, both of 236 Princess Street, in the City
of Kingston, in the County of Frontenac and Province of Ontario, in the Dominion
of Canada, Jewellers, 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 the construction of pneumatic tires for bicycles and
other wheels.
The object of our invention is a tire that shall be less subject to puncturing and
other accidents and to less wear and tear than rubber and still be of simple
construction.
Fig. 1 is a transverse section of our improved pneumatic tire, shown fitted to a
bicycle wheel rim.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of part of a wheel fitted with our improved tire.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of part of the tire cover ready for mounting and
Fig. 4 shows part of the tire cover flat and before having its edges prepared for
mounting.
In the construction of our improved tire we retain the usual inner rubber tube, R,
which is fitted to the wheel rim, W, in the ordinary way, prepared for inflation and
in direct contact with the inner portion of the wheel rim, except an intervening strip
of canvas, C. This tube we protect with a cover or tread consisting of a strip of
raw hide or other leather, L, lined inside with canvas, C, the two materials being
united at the edges by means of stitching, s, and without the use of any cement
whatsoever. This strip is made of such width that it covers the tube R when
inflated and its edges lie in the grooves, w, provided for them in the wheel rim.
To prepare the edges so that they are readily retained in the grooves w, they may
be treated in various ways; wire hoops, h, may be stitched to them as shown in
Figs. 1 2 and 3, or they may be thickened by one or more strips of leather or other
material or by cross lacing. For the outer cover of leather we find oil tanned horse
hide well adapted.
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 :
In a cover or tread for a pneumatic wheel tire, the combination of a strip of
leather and a lining of canvas secured to the edges by stitching and the edges
provided with means of retaining them in the wheel rim, substantially as set
forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Marking Linen, Paper, and other Fabrics.
I, CLAYTON BEADLE, of 4 New Court, Lincoln's Inn, in the County of London,
Analytical and Consulting 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:-
In the Specification No. 6887 of 1894 is described a process for marking linen,
paper and the like by pressing it when suitably moistened between a metal die
connected to one terminal of a source of electricity and a metal plate or bolster
connected to the other terminal. It is found that when the die is of silver the
marking is better effected when the direction of the electrical current is changed,
so that it flows for a short time in the one direction and then for a short time in
the other direction.
The present invention relates to apparatus for effecting this operation, this
apparatus consisting of a small voltaic battery, a reversing switch, a die and a plate
or bolster with suitable conductors connecting them with the battery through the
switch.
In one form of the apparatus, which is small and portable, the die is pressed
down by hand applied to it directly; in a modified arrangement it is pressed down
by lever action as in an ordinary stamping press.
In either case, the battery, consisting preferably of several dry cells, is accom-
modated within a wooden box on which the bolster is fixed on an insulating base.
The hand die is connected to one terminal of the switch by an insulated flexible
conductor, and in the case of the lever press, the body of the press with the die is
connected to the switch by a conductor, the bolster in each case being connected to
the other terminal of the switch.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent diagrammatically plans of the apparatus in two different
positions of the switch S. A battery B, which may consist of several cells, is
enclosed along with a reversing switch S in a box A on the top of which is fixed
the bolster C connected to one segment of the switch. The band die D or it might
be the frame of a lever press is connected to the opposite segment of the switch,
the other two segments of which are connected to the opposite terminals of the
battery.
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 :-
Apparatus for marking linen, paper and other fabrics consisting of a case
containing a small voltaic battery and a reversing switch having its terminals
electrically connected respectively to a metal die and to a bolster, substantially as
described.

Improvements in Disinfecting and Preserving.
I, JAMES YATE JOHNSON of 47 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of London
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention (which has been
communicated to me from abroad by Dr. F. Von Heyden Nachfolger of Radebeul
near Dresden in the Empire of Germany) and in what mauner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
A series of experiments has led my foreign correspondent to the discovery that
the sulphinic acids of the aromatic series derived from the general chemical
formula R-SO,H act as strong poisons on fermenting cells, mildew fungi, putre-
faction-bacteria and other lower organisms. Even in very weak solutions the
sulphinic acids prevent the growth and effect the destruction of lower living
organisms.
This newly discovered property of the sulphinic acids renders it possible to
utilise for the first time for disinfecting and preserving purposes on an extensive
scale substances that have hitherto been useless.
The articles to be disinfected are either sprinkled over with sulphinic acid
powder or steeped in a solution thereof. Instead of free sulphinic acid a mixture
of sulphinate of zinc and chlorate of zinc-an intermediate product obtained in
the manufacture of free sulphinic acids may be used, the chlorate of zinc present
enhancing the effect of the disinfectant.
The sulphinic acids (but not the zinc salts) are particularly suitable for pre-
serving purposes it having been ascertained from experiments that these acids
have no injurious effect whatever on human and other animals being quite harmless
in contrast with their highly poisonous effect on yeast cells and mildew-fungi.
With but a slight admixture of sulphinic acid articles of food which readily and
quickly perish are protected from fermentation mildew and the like.
Of the extensive class of sulphinic acids those preferably used are.-Benzol-
sulphinic acid, ortho and para-toluol-sulphinic acids, ortho-meta and para-xytol-
sulphinic acids, alpha and beta naphthaline sulphinic acids.
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.―
1. Disinfecting or preserving by treating the matter to be disinfected or preserved
with aromatic sulphinic acids.
2. For disinfecting and preserving purposes the use of benzol-sulphinic acid;
ortho and para-toluol sulphinic acids; ortho meta and para-xylol-sulphinic acids;
alpha and beta naphthaline sulphinic acids.
3. The use of zinc salts derived from aromatic sulphinic acids as a disinfectant.

I, ELIZABETH BOX BRYSON, of 2 Rochester Terrace, Edinburgh, County of
Midlothian, N.B., Gentlewoman, 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 back rest for invalids and has for its object
to support the patient or invalids back in bed when the patient desires to sit up.
The hammock may be after the pattern of an ordinary swinging hammock but of
less breadth.
In operation the hammock is put round the back of the patient and the ends.of
the hammock are attached to the fout end of the bed, the patient thus resting in
the middle of the net.
The patient is thus comfortably supported without the usual necessity of being
propped up with pillows. In order to allow the patient to move with undue
pressure on the back, I make the hammock to "give" by inserting a coiled spring.
or other elastic medium at the ends of the hammock.

Improvements in Clothes Wringers.
I, GEORGE BRANUM DOWSWELL, of the City of Hamilton, in the County of
Wentworth, in the Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, 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:
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a back view of a clothes wringer
embodying my invention, Fig. 2 is a side view, aud Fig. 3 is a plan of a portion of
the drop table and frame.
In my improved clothes wringer the frame is made of cast metal, the drop table
is on the back of the wringer between the frames F1 and F, and when not in use it
is turned up against the rubber rolls. On each end of the drop table A there is
fitted a metal clamp B having a hole formed in the top part of it for the pivot D
to fit into, and on which the drop table works, those pivots D are cast with the
frames Fi and F. On the outside of the flanges or clamps B there is a portion C
extending out and adapted to rest on a projection E of the frame so that when
the drop table is lowered down in position it is supported at each end by the
projections C resting on the projections E on the frames F1 and F, thus dispensing
with the springs, levers or other devices now in use for raising, lowering and
supporting the drop table A.
On the front of the clothes wringer the brackets H, H are cast on the
frames F and F, as shown in Fig. 2, these brackets form bearings for the
pivots G, of a wooden roller I which conducts the clothes into the rolls when
operating the wringer.
My object in having the pivots D, D, on which the drop table A works, and also
the brackets H, H, made of the same casting or part of the frames F1 and F is to
avoid the use of brackets or pivots screwed into the frame of the machine, as they
invariably work loose and get out of position, and are never in true line and uniform
in action, but by having those parts made in their proper and exact positions on the
patterns from which the frames are cast uniform accuracy is assured, and a large
saving effected in the cost of manufacture of clothes wringers.
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;
1st. In a clothes wringer the frames of which are made of cast metal, the
combination of the drop table working on pivots cast in the frames and when
lowered down in position supported at each end by a projecting part of the end of
the table resting on a projecting part of the frames as a support therefor, as
described.
2nd. In a clothes wringer the frames of which are made of cast metal, the
pivots D, D, on which the table A works, and also the sockets or bearings H, H, of
the roller G made or cast with the frames as a part thereof, as set forth.

Improvements in or in connection with forambulato
We, JOHANN JULIUS PAULSEN and MARTIN MOLLER both of Neuenkirchen,
near Blankenmoor i Holst, in the Empire of Germany, Inventors, 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 perambulator according to the present invention is of the usual or any
suitable shape or construction and is provided with a device A which has for object
to prevent the children from getting up in the vehicle and consequently prevent
falling out.
The accompanying drawings show a perambulator in side elevation having our
present improvements applied thereto.
The safety device consists of a number of balls (or it may be rollers) which
are strung side by side on a rod so as to be free to revolve thereon and are
of such size that they cannot be firmly grasped or encircled by the hand of a child.
This series of balls is fixed on the longitudinal sides of the vehicle where the child
generally reaches for the purpose of trying to pull itself up.
But as soon as the child tries to hold on to the sides of the vehicle in order
to rise or to lean over the side of the vehicle the balls A revolve or turn
inwards and consequently the hand of the child slips and the child is prevented.
from getting up.
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 :-
1. The combination with a perambulator of safety rollers or balls mounted on
the edge of the carriage body and adapted to freely revolve thereon so that the
hand of the child slips when it tries to pull itself up thereby.
2. The combination with a perambulator or carriage for children of a series of
balls such as A adapted to revolve freely thereon substantially in the manner and
for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

1, ALLAN BISHOP of Balclutha in the Colony of New Zealand Bank Manager,
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 means of so lacing any article to be
laced, (such as boots, shoes, gloves, stays,) that by pulling one end of the lace, or
laces, the whole can be tightened at and by the operation of so pulling. This is
attained by placing a number of pulley sheaves, so as to run freely in suitable
metal frames and securing these frames to the article to be laced, and running the
laces round the said pulleys.
Referring to the accompanying drawing :-
Figure 1, is a plan looking down on the invention.
Figure 2, is a slight modification of the frames.
Figure 3, is an end view of Figures 1, or 2.
Figure 4, is a view of a broad band single laced.
Figure 5, is a view of a similar band but double laced.
The same letters of reference indicate the same, or corresponding parts in all the
figures.
A, shewn dotted in all the figures, except Figure 3, is the pulley sheave, placed
so as to run freely, grooved to fit a lace, as can be seen in Figure 3.
B, is the frame carrying the pulley sheave made preferably in one piece and
bent over as shewn, and carrying a pin for the sheave to run on.
C, C, are holes for rivets, or for stitching, and any number that may be required
may be adopted.
D, is a single lace, and D1, D", are ends of a double lace, for shewing the method
of single and double lacing by this invention, the laces being shewn by dotted
lines. E, E, are ends of any article that can be laced, the invention can be as shewn
on the outside of the material, on the inside, or the material can be double, or split,
and the invention can therefore be nearly hidden in that way.
The inveution can
be made of any ornamental design for particular purposes.
The invention may be made of any size or materials that are suitable for various
work.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
claim is :-
In any description of laced work, the combination of a pulley sheave (such as A,)
EO formed as to run easily in a frame (such as B,) and having means of securing
the whole to any material to be laced (such as the holes C,) with a lace (such
as D, D, D) for the purposes of lacing up, substantially as and for the purposes
herein described and explained and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

I, GIUSEPPE EREDE of 75 Via Nazionale, Rome, Italy, 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 has reference to a novel system of musical notation and consists in
placing notes of the usual shape in vertical columns which represent the keys of the
instrument.
For instruments with a large number of keys such as pianos, organs, and the
like, the whole key-board is not represented but only such portion of it at a time
as may be required. Two rows or sets of such columns separated by a small space
are employed for music where both hands are used.
In order to distinguish the different octaves the figures 8", 2" etc. may be
employed; their absence signifies that the right hand row or column comprises the
diapason A and the left hand row comprises the A one octave lower.
The columns are coloured, or ruled as in annexed drawing, to represent the keys;
the plain or white columns represent white keys.
The notes are read from the top to the bottom of the page, their duration, as well
as that of the pauses, being indicated in the usual way.
The usual signs of the bass and treble clefs are dispensed with.
This notation can be adapted to vocal music, but in this case it may be
convenient to introduce special marks or letters in order to distinguish for instance
a C from a b D.
For the guitar and other instruments of the same kind the ridges on the handle
are represented as they appear to the player and the different strings are distinguished
by numbers affixed to the notes.
In the annexed drawing :-
Figure 1 represents the chromatic scale written according to my method, the
tails (if any) of the notes being horizontal instead of vertical as at present.
Figure 2 shows the same notation written in the ordinary way.
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 system of musical notation for pianoforte, organ, guitar and the like
instruments consisting in placing notes of the usual shape in one or more rows of
vertical columns or stripes, substantially as described and illustrated in Figure 1
of the accompanying drawing.

Process for Producing Compound Asphalt and Concrete Slabs or
Plates, or Compound Plates or Slabs of Two similar Substances.
I, BERNHARD LÖHR of 55 Hafenstrasse, Frankfort on Main in the German
Empire, 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 :-
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing slabs or plates from
asphalt and concrete or two similar substances, for paving footpaths and roadways
or any other surface. Asphalt pavements and such like have hitherto been made
by stamping and rolling warm asphalt powder on a sufficiently hard concrete
foundation or by placing slabs of asphalt on such foundation, without however more
intimately combining the asphalt with the concrete. The present invention con-
sists of slabs or plates, for paving roads or other surfaces, having a wearing surface
and foundation of asphalt and concrete respectively, or two similar substances;
both substances composing the plate, being firmly pressed into one body. To
make those plates or slabs, dry and warmed asphalt powder (or a substitute) is
poured into suitable metal forms and is firmly united by high pressure to a layer
of concrete (or substitute) of a degree of dampness about corresponding to that of
ordinary carth, the two components then forming one solid body. This so formed
slab or plate is kept damp for some time and then thoroughly dried, after which it
is ready for use.
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 :-
1. A process for producing compound asphalt and concrete slabs or plates or
compound slabs or plates, composed of two similar substances, by combining a
layer of warm asphalt powder (or substitute) with a layer of damp concrete (or
substitute) by pressure; substantially as described.
2. A compound concrete and asphalt plate or slab or a compound plate of
similar substances, such slabs or plates having a wearing surface of asphalt
(or substitute) and a bottom layer of concrete (or substitute), substantially as
described.

Communicated by CHARLES
and
1, GEORGE HENRY RAYNER of 37, Chancery Lane, London, Architect, 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 device to be employed for curative purposes, and
has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive arrangement which can be
easily applied to the body and which will serve especially for the cure of
rheumatism.
In carrying out my invention, I propose to employ two metal metal discs, one
of copper and the other of zinc, or any suitable alloys containing large quantities
of these metals. These discs are secured to a piece of white kid or other suitable
leather by means of riveting. The leather pieces are cut to the shape of the heel,
and when applied are placed within the stocking or sock, the metal discs bearing
against the heel of the person wearing them. This produces a small but constant
electric current, and the discs being placed at the extremities, the current affects
the whole body.
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 plan of the device and
Fig. 2 a section.
A is the leather pad which is cut with specially made dies upon a smooth block.
On the face of this leather piece is placed the disc B which is cut from thin copper
or zinc sheets. Two dies are employed in cutting the disc, one cutting out the
shape and the other forming the rivet or eyelet holes. The disc is secured by
means of the eyelets C which after they are inserted are flattened by a hammer
having a slightly convex face upon a small anvil or other smooth surface. Three
of these eyelets are employed for this purpose.
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.-
(1.) An improved device for curative purposes, consisting of two discs, one of
zinc and the other of copper, fitted to a suitable backing and placed with their
surfaces against the heel of the person wearing the same, substantially as and for
the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved device for curative purposes, substantially as described and
shown in the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Employment of Schist in the Manufacture of Bricks for Building
Purposes.
I, HECTOR SADIN of 97 Rue des Aubépines, Bois Colombes (Seine) France,
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 consists in the use of natural or calcined coal-schist or other
kinds of pulverised schistose materials in the manufacture of bricks for building
purposes.
The quantity of schist that I employ is variable and may amount to as much
as 50% according to the kind of clay which is available and the quality of the
bricks which it is wished to obtain.
This method of manufacture effects a great economy of materials by permitting
the use in part of substances thrown out from coal and hitherto valueless while
yielding bricks which are more easily baked, of better quality and cheaper than
those of ordinary manufacture.
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 employment of schist in any proportion for the manufacture of bricks for
binding purposes, substantially as described.
nuing purposes, substantially as descrived.
