Improvements in Preserving Fish, Birds, Poultry, or other
Analogous Articles of Food.
We, WILLIAM DOUGLAS, of 49 Lilybank Gardens, Hillbead Glasgow, in the county
of Lanark, North Britain, Lithographer, and JAMES DONALD, of Broomhill,
Kilwinning, in the county of Ayrshire, North Britain, Banker, 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 improvements in preserving fish, birds, poultry, or other
analogous articles of food whereby they can be kept for a lengthened period and
without being broken or in any way bruised or injured.
Our Invention consists in placing the fish, birds, poultry, or other analogous
articles of food in a bag or cover of canvas, jute, linen, cotton, tinfoil, copperfoil, or
brassfoil, or any other suitable material or metal, and afterwards into an ice-making
machine, when they become embedded in a block of ice, and are thus excluded from
the air, whereby they can be preserved for an indefinite period.
When it is desired to export the fish, birds, poultry, or other analogous articles of
food, the blocks of ice in which they are embedded may be placed in an ordinary
refrigerator on board ship.
As an alternative arrangement the fish birds, poultry, or other analogous articles of
food when placed in the bag or cover may be immersed in water and afterwards
frozen.
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. Preserving fish, birds, poultry, or other analogous articles of food by placing
them in a bag or cover and freezing them in a block of ice in the manner and for the
purpose herein before described.
2. Preserving fish, birds, poultry, or other analogous articles of food by placing
them in a bag or cover and immersing them in water and afterwards freezing them as
described.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
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 be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-―
My invention relates to couplings, for two electric wires forming or adapted to form
part of an electric circuit; and it is especially designed for use in a system of electric
signalling from the cars of a railway train to the engine, such for instance as is shown
and described in my American patent No. 393,431 of November 27th, 1888.
The objects which my coupling is devised to attain are, first, to enable the coupling
of the wires of two cars to be easily, promptly, and securely made; and second, to
temporarily close the circuit in the act of coupling so as to actuate the signal as each
car is joined or parted from another thus insuring the proper union of the wires
in the train and their working condition and giving notice if they get out of order.
The novel features of my invention are clearly pointed out in the claims and will be
best understood after reference to the drawings in which,
Figure 1, shows an engine and train of cars fitted with
Figure 2, shows the front end of a car having my electric coupling and a box for

Improvements in Lifting-jacks, Ohiefly Designed for Railway
Purposes.
We, JEAN PIERRE CITO, of Petange, Mechanician, and PIERRE FUNCK, of
Luxemburg, Architect, both in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, 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 lifting jacks chiefly designed for railway purposes.
The said invention is an improvement upon the invention described in the specifi-
cation of former Letters Patent dated March 22nd A.D. 1888 No. 4432.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 is a side view showing the apparatus at the commencement of the
operation of lifting.
Figure 2 is a front view of the same.
Figure 3 is a side view, showing the apparatus in its lifted position.
The lever is secured to the frame of the apparatus, and adapted to turn upon the
pivot n. The bolts can be successively inserted in the several holes formed in
the uprights or vertical bearers, and serves to maintain the lever h in any desired
position.
Referring to the apparatus described in the said former specification it will be
seen that in proportion as the load or the rail is lifted the lever h tends to pass to a
more or less horizontal position and the angle formed between the inclined part of
the frame and the lever opens more and more, that is to say this angle becomes
greater, and the wedge engaging with these parts is liable to shift and be
thrown out.
The object of this invention is to obviate this difficulty and for this purpose upon
the lever his fixed a stirrup adapted to turn upon its axis. When the lever h passes
to an approximately horizontal position, the stirrup is thrown backward and the
wedge k engages with the arms of the frame and stirrup. The angle formed between
these two parts is also a very acute angle and the wedge k cannot escape.
The apparatus is provided with a cam lever and is operated in the manner described
n the specification of the aforesaid Letters Patent.

page_text: 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:-
The combination with apparatus such as is described in the said former specifi-
cation for lifting loads, of the stirrup whereby the key or wedge k may be clamped
and held in place in any position of the lever without liability to slipping of the said
key or wedge from between the parts.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
The novel application of a jet of burning gas in the interior of chimneys and stove
pipes; and the novel method of supplying the burning gas with air from the exterior
of chimney or stove pipe, thus enabling combustion to take place in places where
otherwise it could not do so.

page_text: I PAUL LOCHMANN of Gohlis, near Leipzig, Saxony in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
sume is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to musical boxes in which the musical tones are produced by
the vibrations of metallic tongues, which tongues are caused to vibrate by the impact
of the arms of rotating star wheels, the said star wheels being rotated intermittently,
and in order, by a travelling or traversing body carrying pins or other projections in a
manner that will be well understood.
The object of the invention is to provide a damping device for the metallic tongues,
by means of which the vibration thereof is controlled.
The damping device consists in a series of metallic springs placed beside the metallic
tongues or notes, in such a way, that normally they rest against such notes, but aro
lifted therefrom at the moment of sounding, and are held suspended so long as the
sound is required to be sustained, and are allowed to return to their normal position
when the vibrations of the musical tongues are required to cease.
In the accompanying drawings, I have shown one musical tongue with its operating
star wheel and damper, the several views illustrating different positions.
Figs. 1, 3, and 5, are side views, while Figs. 2, 4, and 6 are back views, cutting the
vibrating tongue transversely.-b is the rotating star wheel, having arms I, II, III, IV
and V, which are adapted to strike against the end of the tongue z as the star wheel rotates,
and c is the spring dumper placed beside the tongue z, and resting normally against
the side thereof.
The damper c is bent laterally, as shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 6.
As the star wheel is rotated by the pins or projections on the drum (or other
device) of the musical box, one of the arms (say I) strikes against the end of the
tongue z as it passes, and causes it to vibrate; at the same time, the succeeding
arm II comes in contact with the bent part of the damper c, and lifts the same clear
of the tongue z (see Fig. 2), and there sustains it until the arm II has passed the bent
part, when the damper is allowed to return to its normal position in contact with the
tongue z, and stops its vibrations (see Figs. 3 and 4).

page_text: When the same note is again required, the rotation of the star wheel is continued, and
the arm I this time strikes the tongne z, while the arm III lifts the damper (see
Figs. 5 and 6), and in this way, all the arms I to V are utilized for alternately striking
and damping the notes required.
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 improvement in musical boxes herein before described, consisting of damper
springs applied to the vibrating tongues, and operated substantially as set forth.

This invention has for its object-improvements in fixing perfumes.
For these purposes I employ glycerine which I have found to have a great affinity
for the perfumes in ordinary use.
In fixing perfumes glycerine is added to the alcohol solution of the perfume and
it will then prevent the perfume from being carried off by the spirit as it evaporates.
The addition of glycerine to a liquid containing perfume consequently renders the
perfume much more durable.

I, ALBERT DOMEIER of 13 Saint Mary at Hill Eastcheap in the City of London
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 :-
The perfumes in ordinary use, such as Eau de Cologne and many others consist
for the most part of essential oils, or resins, or extractive matter dissolved in alcohol.
Such perfumes are not sufficiently persistent; the odour passes off too rapidly together
with the volatile solvent.
I prevent this by the use in conjunction with-the-volatile-solvent or vehicle namely
alcohol, of another solvent or vehicle which at ordinary temperatures is fixed, namely
glycerine. I bave found glycerine to have a great affinity for the perfumes in
ordinary use.
The most convenient and advantageous way in which to carry out my Invention
is to add glycerine to the ordinary alcoholic perfume as it is found in commerce for
example I add to Eau de Cologne about four per cent. of glycerine and this proportion
will usually be suitable for other alcoholic perfumes. For a very strong perfume
more glycerine may sometimes be used with advantage and for a weak perfume a little
less will suffice.
This addition of glycerine to the alcoholic perfume will prevent the odour passing off
too rapidly with the spirit as it evaporates; hence it renders the perfume much more
durable.
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 :-
:-
Perfumes in which the odour is fixed or rendered sufficiently persistent by the
employment of a compound solvent or vehicle composed of alcohol and glycerine.

I, GUSTAV LAAS merchant of 167 Breit Strasse, Pegau in the Kingdom of Saxony,
German Empire and a subject of the King of Saxony, 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 some new and useful improvements in rings for attaching
blinds to rollers or flags to the flag staff or similar purposes, of which the following is.
an exact description.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawings
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the different views.
Fig. 1 shows a view of my improved ring in perspective.
Figs. 2 and 4 show modified forms of the same.
Fig. 3 shows the application of the ring to the staff or roller.
The ring consists simply of a piece of metal bent into a ring but having its two
ends not joined. One end of the ring is formed into a small spike a having its point
turned towards the inside of the ring. The ring may be made of round, half round
or flat wire, it may also be made to pass more than once round the staff or roller, as
shown in fig. 2, where the one end of the ring laps over the other, and has a slit b in
which the spike passes and is pressed into the staff.
The ring is applied as follows (fig. 3); as many rings, as necessary to hold the blind
are placed on to the roller with their spikes all running parallel, the spikes are then
raised the wire being of course elastic to a certain extent and the blind is passed
under the same, when they are pressed into the wood and the blind or flag is firmly
attached to the roller or staff.
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 wire ring, having its ends not joined together and having on one end a
spike turned inwards and pointing towards the center of the ring, for the purpose
substantially as described.
2.) A metal ring, having its ends not joined but overlapping each other, the one
end having a spike with its point turned towards the center of the ring and passing
in a slit in the other end over which it laps, for the purpose substantially as
described.

Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in constructing the shafts or poles of road vehicles, drawn
by horses, in two parts one end of each of which is fixed in a metal socket. The two
sockets are pin jointed together and held in the normal straight position by a spring.
When the horse stumbles or falls the shaft or pole yields against the resistance of the
spring and thus prevents the shaft or pole from being broken. When the horse
regains its footing the shaft or pole springs back into the normal straight position.
Dated this 5th day of September 1889.

Improvements in the Shafts or Poles of Road Vehicles.
I, ALBIN JULES DUBOIS of Bischheim near Strasbourg in the 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 construction of the shafts or poles of road vehicles
designed to prevent the liability to fracture to which, as now constructed, they are
exposed when the horse or horses harnessed to the same stumble or fall.
In the accompanying drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a sectional side view
and a sectional top view of so much of a shaft or pole of a road vehicle as is necessary
to explain the invention.
Each shaft or pole is made in two parts a which are driven into sockets 6 and fixed
by rivets or bolts c. These sockets are pin jointed or hinged together at their head
parts d by pin e on which within the hollow head formed by parts d is mounted a
spring g running out into two extensions which normally keep the two parts a in
the straight or proper position for draught purposes but should the horse stumble or
fall the spring extensions will yield in the manner shewn by way of example in the
drawing in dotted lines, so as to correspond with the downward movement of the
horse and thus prevent fracture of the shafts or poles. Upon the horse rising
the spring extensions will bring back the two parts of the shafts or poles into
the proper working position and the journey may be resumed without the delay
usually attending the falls of horses.
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 construction and arrangement of the shafts or poles of road vehicles for the
purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, THOMAS ARCHER Junior of No. 6 Park Terrace Gateshead, 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:-
My invention of improvements in Tobacco pipes consists in providing a ready
and simple means whereby the oil and moisture contained in the tobacco or
resulting as products of its conibustion may be discharged from the stem of the
pipe as it accumulates. I employ a little stop-cock or equivalent contrivance which
when in one position makes a clear communication between the bowl of the pipe
and the mouth-piece and closes all other communication, and which in another
position closes the communication between the bowl & mouthpiece and opens a clear
communication between the mouthpiece and the external air at the opposite end of
the stem of the pipe. For clearness of description I will call the position of this
stop-cock first mentioned the first position and that last mentioned the second
position.
When the pipe is to be lighted the smoker has the stop-cock in the first position
and while it smokes.freely and agreeably he retains it in this position, but when any
accumulation of moisture or oil takes place so as in any way to impede or render
disagreeable the act of smoking he moves the stop-cock into the second position and
blows down the stem of the pipe whereby the drop of moisture is at once expelled;
he then restores the stop-cock to the first position and can continue to smoke with a
clear stem. There is thus in this arrangement no necessity for any receptacle for
oil or moisture and I believe the simplest possible means of keeping always a
clean and wholesome pipe. In alternative the stop cock may be placed at the
end of the stein so as to open a communication quite through the stem and
the pipe may then be blown through without closing the communication with the
bowl.
In further illustration of my invention I refor to drawing hereto annexed which
shews in section one form of the arrangement first described.
Fig. 1. shews the stop-cock in the first position and Fig. 2. shews it in the second
position. Of course the same object might be obtained by using two stop-cocks but
prefer to use one for simplicity.
The Barrel of the stop-cock may be formed of the wood of the pipe or it may
consist of a shell let into the pipe and in the same way the stop-cock plug may be
of wood or metal.
The alternative arrangement I have already referred to consists in placing an ordinary
small stop-cock in the position occupied by the nozzle B, (Fig. 1 & 2) as shewn in
Fig. 3 or in any other convenient position.
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 construction of tobacco pipes with a stop-cock or equivalent contrivance sub-
stantially as described.

page_text: I, AUGUST RINCKLAKE of 3 Theater promenade Brunswick, 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:-
My invention relates to a method of attaching the collar rings to the reservoirs of
oil lamps by means of which the oozing out or sweating of the oil through the reservoir
-which is a source of great annoyance in many kinds of lamps-may be entirely
prevented.
C'ertain substances such for instance as the animal glues (gelatines) are not affected
by paraffine. These substances however can not be used for fastening the collar rings
to the reservoirs of lamps, because they set or harden too slowly.
In my Invention I employ such a substance as an intermediate body, which prevents
the oil from coming into contact with the cement used for fastening the collar ring to
the reservoir.
In order to make my invention more clear, 1 refer to the accompanying drawing
which is a vertical section through a lamp showing my new method of fixing the collar
ring to the reservoir.
a is a ring cemented to the collar of the reservoir g in the usual manner; b is the
collar ring of the lamp, so made that when it is screwed or in any other manner
fastened to the reservoir, a space remains at d and into this space is placed a substance
which remains unaffected by the oil. This substance, as will be seen from the drawing,
then covers the cement of the under ring and the top edge of the reservoir in such a
manner that the oil is entirely prevented from coming into contact with the cement,
and in consequence cannot ooze or sweat out.

page_text: 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 method of fastening the collar ring to oil lamps in such a manner that the oil
is prevented from coming into contact with the cement used for attaching the said
collar ring to the reservoir by the introduction of an intermediate substance which
remains unaffected by oil.
