Improvements in Wads for the Cartridges of Fire-arms.
I, WILLIAM FORD, of 23, Loveday Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Gunmaker, 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 my invention is to provide an improved wad for use in the base of
ordinary cartridges for firearms, so as to check the escape of the gas at the base and
prevent the cartridge head splitting by the action of the gas.
The wad is cylindrical on the outside and of a size to fit the cartridge case for which
it is intended, and is coned out from its front end to a suitable depth. A round hole
is made through the base of the wad to receive the end of the cap chamber and so
allow the flash from the cap to reach the powder.
The wad is placed in the cartridge case and pressed into position by a rammer.
The wads may be made of any suitable substance, such as, paper pulp, jute or felt,
and may if preferred be coated with any suitable gas-proof substance.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention.
Fig. I. shews a front view, and
Fig. II. shews a side elevation in section of my improved wad.
Fig. III. shews my improved wad placed in an ordinary cartridge case.
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 :-
The cylindrical wad with coned hollow and central flash hole as described and
illustrated for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Pegs for Violins and other Instruments of the
like kind.
A communication to me from abroad by JOSEPH PRENZEL, of Hirschberg, in the
Empire of Germany, Organist.
1, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 and accompanying drawing that is to say :-
The ordinary string pegs of violins are held in their place by friction, so that they
are liable to turn irregularly and by jerks in stretching the strings, and also to let the
strings down by turning back suddenly and the object of the present invention is to
prevent these defects by means of a hollow conical split screw, by turning which
round in a corresponding nut more or less friction can be produced upon the peg.
In the accompanying drawing, which is in illustration of the invention,
Figures 1 and 2 are side and front views respectively of the head of a violin.
Figure 3 is a section through part of the head of a violin, shewing the improved
peg fastener.
Figure 4 is a section through the conical screw.
Figure 5 is a separate view of the conical split screw.
The handle A of the peg is of wood of the usual kind, but the other end E is of
larger diameter and of metal, a transverse hole B being made through it into which
the end of the string is inserted in the usual way. The outer end of the peg is made
in the shape of a metal pin C, screwed at its end to receive a small nut D which holds
the peg in its place. The pin C passes through the central hole of the hollow split
screw F, Figures 4 and 5, the screwed part of which is somewhat conical so that
when it is screwed into the nut G, its two halves are pressed together upon the pin C
so as to cause any desired amount of friction against the latter.
The nut G has upon one side a projection G', which when the screw F is screwed
up is drawn against the inner side of the violin head with sufficient force to prevent
it by its friction from turning round.
The invention is applicable to the pegs of violins and other instruments of the
like kind.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The wooden peg and handle A having a metal attachment carrying the pin C,
upon which the hollow conical split screw F fits and is pressed by screwing it into
the nut G so as to cause any desired friction upon the pin C, substantially as and for
the purpose described and shewn in the drawing.

Manufacture of Coloring Matters obtained by the Action of Amines.
of the Fatty Series upon Gallocyanine.
I, JOHN INRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County
of London, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, 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 correspondents have found that the primary and secondary amines of the fatty
series, such as monomethylamine, dimethylamine, monoethylamine, diethylamine,
monopropylamine and dipropylamine can condense with gallocyanine, producing
new coloring matters varying from violet to greenish blue.
These new coloring matters can be used for dyeing mordanted and unmordanted
wool as also for printing on cotton and for the production of lakes.
By way of example I will describe the preparation of the coloring matter obtained
with diethylamine, the process remaining the same whatever amine be employed.
Into a vessel provided with a double bottom and a suitable agitating device aro
introduced: 50 kilos. of gallocyanine in powder, 50 kilos. of diethylamine in concen-
trated aqueous solution. This mixture is agitated for some time at ordinary
temperature, and is then heated to 90° to 100° C. The product is then dried and the
excess of diethylamine is removed by distillation and is collected in water. The dried
muss is in the form of a dark brown powder which is distinguished from gallocyanine
by its great solubility in water.
This product dyes mordanted and nonmordanted wool in tints which are bluer than
those obtained with gallocyanine, and which are just as fast against the action of light
and of soap.
The tints obtained in printing on cotton with metallic mordants vary from blue to
greenish blue.
The abovenamed proportions are only given by way of example, and can be
varied.
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. The process for the production of coloring matters consisting in the condensation
of amines of the fatty series with gallocyanine, substantially as described.
2. As a new manufacture, coloring matters produced by the condensation of amines
of the fatty series with gallocyanine, substantially as described.
3. The use for dyeing and printing and for the production of lakes of the coloring
matters referred to in the preceding claim.

A Pocket Knife Combined with Pincers.
I, OTTO ERNST GAUGER of Alter Steimveg No. 57, Hamburg in the Empire of
Germany, 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 combined pocket knife with pincers and has for its
object the arrangement of a pair of pincers in combination with, and the peculiar
mode of securing the same to, a pocket knife.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 illustrates in side view the combined pocket knife and pincers, the latter
being shown as turned up.
Fig. 2 is a front view to Fig. 1 and
Fig. 3 is a top view of the combined device with the pincers turned down.
The pincers are provided on the back of the knife, to which one shank thereof is
pivoted at a, while the other shank is shouldered at its free extremity and adapted to
slide in a correspondingly shaped guiding formed in the back of the knife by bending
round inwardly the edges bb' of the knife shells c c supposed to be made from metal.
The shouldered end e of the one shank of the pincers is adapted to move freely in the
hollow space comprised between the knife springs and the said bent rims of the shell.
As shown in the drawing, the shouldered end of the shank is shaped into a screw
driver.
From the foregoing description it is clear that owing to the arrangement and mode
of fastening of the pincers when using the combined instrument as pincers, only
tractional force is exerted, the locked knife serving for a handle and the force causing
the pincers to close being produced through the said tractional movement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:
-
A pair of pincers combined with a pocket knife and one shank of which is con-
nected hinge-fashion to the knife, while the extremity of the other shank is shaped
into a screw driver and adapted to slide in a hollow space provided in the back of the
knife and formed by inward bends of the knife shells, for the purpose of allowing the
closed knife to be used as a handle when exerting a tractional force by means of
the pincers, substantially as illustrated and described."

Improvements in Pinch Bars and Levers for Starting and Moving
Cars.
I, SPENCER HOWARD ST. JOHN, Manufacturer, of Chicago, County of Cook, State
of Illinois, United States of America do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for PINCH-BAR AND LEVER FOR STARTING AND MOVING CARS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following stateinent :-
The object of my invention is to provide a hard-metal fulcrum-bar having a number
of sharp edges which may be repeatedly sharpened, and a guide-clevis, both to be
removably attached to the pinch-bar without weakening the same by recessing it.
In the accompanying drawings, which are made a part of this specification, Fig. 1,
shows a perspective of my improved pinch-bar; Fig. 2, a view of the clevis and
fulcrum-bar removed from the main-bar; Fig. 3, a side view of the main bar, with the
clevis and fulcrum-bar in section.
The main bar A, consisting of the handle a and head a¹, may be of any desired
form. Fitting astride of the bar A is the clevis B, whose arms bb, extending a short
distance below the bar, fall upon either side of the rail when the tool is in use, and
serve as guides to retain it in place. Extending transversely across this clevis, and
fitted within suitable holes in its arms, is the solid fulcrum-bar C, which may be in
cross-section of any angular form as, for example, triangular, rectangular, as shown,
pentangular, &c. This fulcrum-bar is so located within the clevis as to fall immediately
below the heel of the main bar A when the parts are adjusted.
For the purpose of securely holding the clevis and fulcrum-bar in position, I place
a set-screw, D, in the bow 62 of the clevis B, which reacts upon the upper surface and
draws the fulcrum-bar Cagainst the lower surface of the bar A. In place of the set-
screw D may be substituted a simple wedge, to be driven between the clevis-bow b² and
the bar A, though this I regard as a less desirable and less secure method than the one
shown.
It will be seen that by placing the fulcrum-bar in position so as to present one
of its edges to the rail a secure bearing is obtained. As soon as one edge becomes
dulled the bar C may be turned by separating the removable parts and another edge
brought into use. The several edges of the bar C may be repeatedly sharpened until
the bar is almost entirely worn away, as its size is not material, the wear being taken
up by the set-screw D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is-
The combination of a bar, removable fulcrum-piece wholly external thereto, and a
clevis fitting upon said bar, having downwardly-projecting arms adapted to embrace
the rail, substantially as describe 1.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Trousers Stretchers.
1, JOHN ARNOLD YOUNG, of 544 King Street West, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, 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 the construction of trousers stretchers in such a manner
that the operations of clamping and straining can be performed more easily and
rapidly than with stretchers of ordinary construction, as I shall describe referring to
the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section shewing the two ends of a trousers stretcher
according to my invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 are plans shewing respectively the straining lever in its extreme
positions.
Fig. 4 is an end view.
At each end there is a clamp which may be of any known kind but which, as
shewn, consists of two pieces A and B, preferably of wood, the lower piece A having
fixed at its ends metal brackets C with their tops bent over inwards and inclined, so
that when the upper piece B, having its upper face similarly inclined, is thrust in
between the brackets under their projecting inclined ends, there is a wedging action
such as to clamp firmly between A and B that part of the garment which is introduced
between them.
In order to provide against the parts B being mislaid they may be jointed or other-
wise attached to the parts A.
A rod D (which, in order to be conveniently portable may be made in two lengths
socket jointed) extends from a hole in the upper part B of the one clamp, and through
a hole in the upper part of the other clamp, and beyond the latter clamp a lever E
is pivotted on the rod, this lever having a hook F on which can be engaged the
bight of a bent wire or link G that is jointed to the upper part of the clamp.
The dotted lines E1 and E2 shew the lever E in its middle and extreme back
positions.
The trousers being engaged in the two clamps and the lever E being in such a
position as that shewn at E' in Fig. 1 with the link G engaged on its hook F, the
lever E is pulled down to the position E². As the centre on which the lever E
turns is beyond the centres on which the link G turns, the effect of this movement
of the lever is to draw the one clamp away from the other with considerable force,
thus stretching the trousers. The lever E and link G being, as it were on a dead
centre, retain their position maintaining the strain on the garment.
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 :-
In a trousers stretcher the combination of two clamps, a rod passing through the
one clamp to the other, a link jointed to the former clamp, and a lever with hook for
the link pivotted on the rod beyond the clamp, arranged and operating substantially
as described.

An Improved Aerated Beverage.
I, JOHN CRAMPTON, of Sawston, Cambridgeshire, Pharmaceutical Chemist and
Mineral Water 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 to aerating milk, so that the same may be used in place of
soda water and milk.
According to this invention, new milk of the purest quality is first separated from
the fatty matter by known means, such as the centrifugal machinery now in uso
then scalded by steam or boiling water, and refrigerated. The milk so prepared is
then put into strong metal cylinders lined with pure tin, or other suitable vessels;
and carbonic acid gas passed into same under pressure and agitated to a high
pressure; the aerated milk is then bottled off in syphon bottles fitted with the
ordinary syphon taps; or in jar, cask or bottle containers, fitted with internal or
external stoppers or corks.
Milk treated as above described can be kept for a considerable period without
turning sour, and is particularly suitable for use on board ship.
Having now particularly described 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 production of an acrated beverage from milk, by treating the milk to
separate the fatty matters from it, and then aerating the same.
2.-The method of preserving milk hereinbefore described consisting in first
separating the fatty matter from it, and then aerating it, and bottling in air tight
bottles or other vessels.

Improvements in Chair Sleepers for Railways.
I, WYBRANTS GEORGE OLPHERTS of No. 38 Ebury Street, Pimlico, in the County
of London, Civil 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 :-
In my Specification No. 10,702 of 1889, 1 described a chair sleeper for railways
adapted for double headed rails. My present invention relates to a similar chair
sleeper adapted for flanged rails as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawings. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 an end view of
the chair sleeper. Fig. 4 is part side view and an end view of the tie bar, Fig. 5
is a front view, Fig. 6 a section and Fig 7 a plan of the sliding jaw.
The base A of the sleeper is of rectangular form with rounded ends, having a
downwardly projecting lip B all round its edge and a central rib C projecting down
into the ballast supported on each side by two cross ribs D. One of the jaws E
which hold the rail is cast in one piece with the sleeper, the other jaw F is fitted to
slide between two side ribs G which project up from the sleeper, and is secured in
position by a wedge key H, preferably of steel, which is driven through slots of the
ribs G and through a groove of the jaw F.
At the one side of the central rib C slots are formed through the cross ribs D and
the tie bar K is made with notches k in its under edge in such positions that when
the tie bar is slid through the slots of D it can be lowered the depth of its notches k
and thus held securely in position. In order to prevent it from rising so as to
disengage its notches ka tongue f projecting down from the jaw F is passed through
a slot in the upper face of the sleeper and extends down to bear on the upper edge of
the tie bar K. Thus when the jaw F is keyed in position it at the same time
secures the tie bar K. Both edges of the tie bar K may have notches k as shown in
Fig. 4 the one set of notches suiting the gauge for straight parts of the line, the other
suiting the gauge for curves, so that by inverting the tie bar it can be used under
either condition. The rail R is inclined to the required tilt either by a sloped
packing L inserted under it, or by a corresponding sloped projection cast in one with
the sleeper.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I claim is :-
A chair sleeper for flanged rails having one fixed jaw, and one moveable jaw,
secured by a key on a ribbed and lipped bearing plate, in combination with a notched
tie bar held in engagement with the transverse ribs by the tongue of the moveable jaw,
substantially as described.

Improvements in Apparatus for Propelling Ships.
I, JOSEPH ALFRED NOVELLO of Villa Novello, Via S. Giacomo, Genoa, in the
Kingdom of Italy, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
According to this invention in place of an ordinary propeller 1 employ a disc, upon
one face of which or on both faces or edges is sunk a spiral channel. This disc
mounted upon a shaft which may be rotated by any ordinary mechanisın but I
prefer to employ what may be called a squirrel cage arrangement, which consists
of a cylinder mounted on the shaft and having inside it a steam or other locomotive
which by reason of its weight always tends to remain at the lowest point so that
as it moves around the inside of the cylinder it causes the cylinder to rotate in the
direction opposite to its movement.

Improvements in Apparatus for Propelling Ships.
I, JOSEPH ALFRED NOVELLO, of Villa Novello, Via S. Giacomo, Genoa, in the
Kingdom of Italy, 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 consists in giving a novel form to the propellor or propellors of
ships. I call my propellor "the circular feathering oar propellor" it lifts no water
and operates by means of speedy reiterated rowing strokes.
The improved propellor consists in a disc of metal deeply goffered on its outward
edge, mounted on a central axle as represented by the drawing annexed in side view
at Figure 1 and in front view at Figure 2.
Keyed on to the same axle with the propellor is a cage similar to the toy known,
as "the squirrel in a cage" or an inner treadmill. I do not claim this as an
invention but merely its application in the manner shewn in combination with
the propellor.
It is proposed to have one, two, four or more propellors to cach ship and I
distinguish them when four are used by the names re, mi, fa, sol.
The chief novelty and deviation from established use, which attaches to the new
circular our propellor consists in the absence of any right angle, paddle or float;
dependence being placed on the inertia or slow and reluctant yielding of water, and
on the reciprocating pressure from right to left of the deep goffering. The
independence with which the reverse motion can be instantly effected is also an
important feature.
There are many mechanical resources for spinning the propellor, but I prefer the
"squirrel in the cage movement" as described.

page_text: 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 circular feathering oar propellor herein described which lifts no water.
