Improvement in Roller Mills for Grinding Paint and other
Adhesive Material.
I, JOSEF WECKAUF, Manufacturer, of Rheydt, Germany, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In paint mills as hitherto made, the wet raw material is pressed through a
pair of rollers which revolve in close proximity to each other, and is then
elivered by one of them to a third roller. From the latter the paint is
scraped off by a knife blade.
This construction has the drawback, that one of the two grinding or friction
rollers, which is not in contact with a delivery roller, may soon be covered with
paint all over and thereby produce clogging, so as to reduce the uniformity of
the product.
In order to avoid this evil and at the same time to increase the capacity for
work, I construct the machine in such a manner, that it delivers the product on
both sides.
As indicated by the accompanying drawings,
Figs. 1 to 3,mount on each side of the grinding rollers a a delivery roller b
and in proximity to each delivery roller an adjustable blade or knife e adapted to
scrape the ground material away from the roller, so that it falls upon an inclined
plate or shoot d placed below the scraper, as shown.
The rollers are geared together by means of spur wheels and set in motion in
the usual manner. The spur wheels are so adapted to impart to the rollers_a
differential speed, that the rollers revolve more quickly than the rollers a. In
order to facilitate the lateral adjustment of the bearings of the rollers a, the
rollers are placed at a lower level, as shown.
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 :-
A roller mill for grinding paint and other adhesive material, having for every
friction roller a a delivery roller and an adjustable scraper c, substantially as
described and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Tape Boxes.
JAMES WALTER UTTING 59 Gresham Street London E.C. Manufacturers'
Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Tape boxes constructed to hold a reel or reels or rolls of tape, which when
enclosed either on spindle or otherwise or shut in, can be at once unrolled from end
to end without removal by means of a longitudinal slot or slots or openings in front
of the box, or in any part or position of the same, which permits of the tape end or
ends being ready to hand instantaneously for tying up papers documents and parcels.
By this method entanglement and untying is obviated, as the tape is thus unrolled
from end to end and so will be found the quickest & readiest means of keeping tape
for office or private use.

JAMES WALTER UTTING Manufacturers' Agent 59 Gresham Street London
E.C. 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 of improvements in boxes to hold a reel or reels of tape,.
viz., having a longitudinal slot or opening which admits of the tape, when pulled,
to run immediately & freely from end to end of the reel or roller as shown in
drawing & thus preventing mutying & entanglement. The slot or opening may be
cut out in the front of the box or in any other part of the same as preferred. The
opening adopted for the present is cut out according to the size and length of the
reel or roll of tape required. The box can be made to hold a single reel as dotted
lines shown in drawing or several recls or rolls of tape & with one or more slots or
openings. By these means parcels or papers can be instantly tied up & when
finished the tape end or ends left hanging always ready for use in the most
orderly and compact form. The invention thus proving itself both timesaving and
economic.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is the following features of novelty, viz.,
Tape boxes for reels or rolls of tape, to hang up or stand, with opening or
openings or slot or slots running the length of any size reel or roll required for
unrolling.
2. Made to contain one or several reels or rolls of tape or twine the end or
ends of which hang out always ready for use from the slots or openings.

I, ERNST BÖHIM, of 42 Little Britain, in the City and County of London,
Electrician, 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 produce a novel shade for candles, or for gas,
oil, incandescent or other lamps of great beauty in itself and affording at once an
effective shade to the light and a reflector of the highest power.
Lamp or candle shades constructed in accordance with this invention are made of
glass tubing spirally wound, twisted, or otherwise formed into the requisite conical
or other shape or configuration, and provided if necessary with a strengthening
band or bands, or secured to a supporting frame. The tubing used may be white
or coloured, and may be coated with silver, or other suitable metal, on the inside or
outside in suitable parts so as to act as a reflector. When coated on the inside,
the ends of the tubing are closed so as to protect the metallic coating from the
action of the air.
Though in practice I have found it convenient to form the coils of tubing upon a
mould of carbon, fireclay, or other suitable material, it is obvious that they may be
formed without the aid of such moulds.
In a modified arrangement I construct the shade or reflector of a series of
conical tubes arranged radially, in place of the continuous spiral hereinbefore
described.
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 use of glass tubing, whether coated with silver or other suitable metal on
the inside or outside, or not, for the manufacture of lamp or candle, shades.

An Appliance for Plucking Hair, to be used in the Dressing of
Fur Skins.
I, HELEN D'APERY, Authoress, No. 18, West 14th Street, New York City,
U. S. America, 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 has for its object improvements in the mode of plucking hair from
fur skins.
My improvement is an appliance of pincers worked by springs, by which a much
greater rapidity is attained in removing the hair, than by any known process,
and by which the skin is less damaged and the fur completely cleaned of hair.
I use pincers made of steel, iron or other hard material, worked by springs. The
manner in which the same may be performed will be now particularly described by
referring to the drawing annexed.
The pincers (A) (A) about one and one half inches wide, having a thickness of
about one eighth of an inch, when pressed together take an even hold of the hair,
which is instantly plucked from the fur skin by pulling the pincers with the hand.
At the closed end is a spring about one and one half inches wide, at the
points (B) (B) it is about one eighth of an inch thick and to point (C) it tapers to
about one thirty second of an inch in thickness, and from point (C) to point (C) it
is about one thirty second of an inch in thickness. This spring at once opens the
pincers, on being released and they are ready for instant use again. By the present
practice of fur dressing establishments, it is necessary to employ people who use
appliances by which the work is much more slowly done than by my process, and
not only is the hair imperfectly removed, but the fur is also more or less
damaged.
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 rapidity with which the hair is plucked and the perfection of the work of
removing the hair from the fur skins.

On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 shews a sectional view of my improved coal breaker.
A is the tube composed preferably of wrought iron and of any suitable length
and B the spike or point. C is the plunger with the heavy head D and fitting
loosely in the tube A. The point or spike B is composed of steel and is by
preference loose and free to slide into the tube A but is prevented falling out by
the head B.
In using the implement the point of the spike or the end of the tube C as illus-
trated is placed upon the coal to be broken and the plunger is drawn or raised out
of the tube as shewn and by allowing the plunger to drop of its own weight or
forcing it down with a jerk the point B is struck and the blow or concussion causes
the spike to divide or split the coal as desired.
The plunger is prevented from being drawn out too far by the enlarge-
ment C
The spike may be formed in one with the tube or on the end of the plunger.
Having thus 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 :-
For breaking coal the use and employment of the implement shewn and described
with its alternative constructions.

Improvements in the Construction of Wood Rollers.
I, RALPH SHORROOK of Prospect House, Darwen in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows: —
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of wood rollers and
is designed to supersede cast and wrought iron rollers to prevent rusting and ensure
evenness, truth, and regularity in either moist or dry atmospheres. On a metallic
centre of or other sections I mount the wood in two or more 'sections and bolt
the same together in any convenient manner. The metallic centre extends or
passes through the entire length of the roller and is provided at each end with
metallic journals shrunk on and secured by bolts, rivets, or other equivalents. The
openings in the wood sections are made sufficiently large to receive the heads and
nuts of the jointing bolts, and are closed by wood plugs secured in any convenient
manner before being turned up, by which a perfectly even surface is effected.
Dated the 12th September 1891.
EDMUND CHADWICK,

page_text: is fitted with the loose washers H shrunk on. On the metallic centre E are
mounted the wood blocks P in two or more sections as shown in Figs. 2 and 5.
The wood blocks P are secured to the metallic centre E by the bolts I or other
equivalents. The wood blocks P are provided with the openings K made
sufficiently large to receive the heads L and nuts M of the jointing bolts I
or other equivalents. After the wood blocks P have been secured on the metallic
centre E by the boits I or other equivalents the openings K are closed or made up
with wood or other plugs or in any other convenient manner, after which the outer
surface is turned or trued up to à perfectly even surface.
If desired the metallic centre E may be provided with separate journals G,
in which case the latter are provided with the prongs or forks O secured to
the metallic centre E by the bolts S or other equivalents. The prongs or
forks O on the journals G may be heated and expanded before being shrunk on the
ends of the metallic centre E, so that when cooling takes place they will grip or
nip the same by contraction and thus secure them more firmly in 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 improved construction of wood rollers formed of two or more sections and
secured to a metallic centre by bolts or their equivalents, substantially as described.

I, FREDERICK LIEKER, of 42 Duane Street, New York, County and State of
New York, United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be parti-
cularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a purse of novel construction and it consists in the
various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a top view of my improved purse showing it open.
Fig. 2 is an end view thereof.
Fig. 3 a top view showing it partly closed.
Fig. 4 an end view thereof and
Fig. 5 a top view showing it entirely closed.
My improved purse
is made in the form of a box, having a rectangular bottom a,
and four sides a³, a², a², a³, connected at the corners and of which I term a', the
front, a, a, the ends and a³, the back.
The sides and bottom are made preferably of one piece of leather or other flexible
material. The two ends a³, are creased from the center on top, to the two corners
at the bottom as indicated by the lines b.
The back a³, is provided with a flap a, that projects over the upper edge of the
box. Between the back a³, and the flap a, a pocket is formed for holding stamps
and tickets.
To close the purse, the front is folded back and the back forward, so that the
flap at, overlaps the front to which it is secured by a suitable catch c.
The ends a², will fold inwards on their creases b, beneath the front and back, so
that the purse is entirely flat when closed.
The best fit of the parts is obtained, if the bottom is made square and twice as
long as the height of the sides. This will cause the center of all the sides to meet
over the center of the bottom and thus no openings are left from which the money
might escape.
My purse will be found to be very convenient, as the change will lay flat upon
the bottom and will be fully exposed when the purse is opened.
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:
A purse composed of a flat bottom a, and four upwardly projecting sides a¹, a², a³, a³,
connected at the corners to constitute a box, the sides a², being creased from the
top diagonally downwards and the side a³, being provided with a flap, that overlaps
the sides a', when the purse is closed, substantially as specified.

Improvements in the Construction of Steam Pipe Ovens.
I, GEORGE WINN, of Dagger Lane, and 46, Mytongate, both in the Town and
County of the Town of Kingston upon Hull, Baker and Biscuit Manufacturer,
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 :-
My invention relates to "Wieghorst" ovens, which are heated by hermetically
sealed steam pipes traversing portions of the ovens ; and the object of my invention
is to effect improvements in the construction of such ovens, by the addition thereto of
one or more flue or flues, either at the top, bottom, or sides, or surrounding the
baking chamber, in such a manner that two, three, or more ovens may be built or
placed side by side, all heated from one common furnace, and enabling the firing to
be done from the side instead of the back.
In carrying out my invention I fit the steam heating pipes in the ovens, at right
angles to those fitted on the old system, or, in other words, at right angles to the
direction in which the draw-plates run. In building ovens in accordance with my
improvements two sets of ovens may be so arranged that one stoke-hole serves for
firing both furnaces.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of

Improvements in and relating to Stoppers for Bottles and the like.
I, CARL AUGUST ROOSWALL, of 6, Drottninggatan, Stockholm, in the Kingdom
of Sweden, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to stoppers or devices for closing bottles, flasks pitchers
and the like in a simple and efficient manner. The bottles and the like which may
contain wine, milk, aërated drinks, mineral waters, spirits, fermented liquors, drugs
and the like, are by means of my improved device hermetically closed and the
same stopper is used each time the bottle or the like is filled, instead of being
thrown away as is the case with the cork and wire stopper heretofore generally
employed. By thus continually using the same stopper I effect a considerable
economy in the cost of the stoppering devices.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 shows a front elevation and plan respectively of the improved
stopper and
Figure 2 shows a modified form of the same, also in front elevation and plan.
The closing device shown in Figure 1 is so arranged that the plug, which can be
made of glass, china, metal, or other suitable material, and which is ground into
the neck of the bottle, is formed in one piece with an arm descending from the top
of the said plug and at its lower end provided with an inwardly bent portion which,
when the plug is inserted into the neck of the bottle or the like, will engage with
the underside of the enlarged part of the said neck which is made spiral or screw
shaped. By turning the plug the arm engaging with the screw-shaped collar will
draw the said plug down into the neck, and firmly hold it in place. A groove is
provided on one side of the neck to allow the plug to be withdrawn from
the bottle.
The plug instead of being provided with a single downwardly projecting arm as
above set forth may be provided with double arms as shown in Figure 2. When
this modification is employed, two diametrically opposite grooves must be made in
the neck of the bottle.
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 :-
A closing device for bottles, flasks, pitchers and the like in which a conical plug
is secured in the mouth of the bottle or the like by one or more downwardly
projecting arms having hooks engaging with a screw-shaped collar formed on the
neck and partly cut away by one or more grooves so as to allow of the said stopper
being withdrawn, the aforesaid conical plug being ground into the neck and made
in one piece with the said downwardly projecting arms as above set forth.

Improvements in Window Fastenings.
I, JAMES ORMOND COLE, of Westerlea Old Road, Gravesend, in the County
of Kent, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
According to this invention I place upon the inside of one of the side bars of
the upper sash a rack having ratchet shaped teeth and at the top of the lower sash
I place a spring bolt taking into the teeth of the ratchet which are so shaped and
placed that the window can be closed but cannot be opened without withdrawing
the bolt.
By this arrangement of the parts it is impossible to open the window from the
outside even if a hole be cut through the glass to allow of the bolt being withdrawn
because directly either sash begins to move the bottom bar of the upper sash or
else the top bar of the lower sash will come against the arm of the person making
the attempt and prevent further movement.

An Improved Shuttle for Weaving Yarns of Flax and other Fibres
which have been Spun in the Form of Pirns or Cops.
THE YORK STREET FLAX SPINNING COMPANY, LIMITED, Henry Street,
Belfast, and HUGH MOKIBBIN, Foreman Mechanic in the employment of the said
Company do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the most successful practice, flax & like yarns for power loom weaving are
spun in the form of pirns or cops on slightly taper metallic shells or holders, in the
surface of which a spiral groove & ridge are formed.
During the process of wet spinning the yarn is wound upon these metallic shells
or holders, & is afterwards dried thereon. By the process of drying, the body of
yarn has a tendency to become slack on the taper shells, but is readily tightened
again on the holder by turning or screwing the holder or shell into the body of the
yarn.
This improved shuttle for weaving yarns of flax and other fibres, which have
been spun in the form of pirns or cops on taper metallic shells or holders with
spirally grooved surface, consists in a novel form of tongue to carry these metallic
shells or holders during the process of weaving.
The tongue of the shuttle is hinged in the usual manner, and is made in one or
two parts or springs, and the surface of the tongue is grooved spirally to correspond
with the spiral in the metallic holder, so that the pirn or cop, being screwed firmly
upon the shuttle tongue, is securely retained thereon while being woven.
