in the County of Huntingdonshire Carriage Builders Assistant do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED METHOD OF ADJUSTING THE BALANCE
IN TWO-WHEEL VEHICLES to be as follows:-
The body of my improved Buggy (Fig. 1) or other description of two wheel
carriages I construct in two seperate portions totally detached from each other,
the lower part consisting of the well boot (a Fig. 1) being attached to the wheels,
springs, axles & shafts as heretofore so that the underworks at all times and under
all conditions preserve their relative position to each & move entirely in conjunc-
tion but the upper portion (b Fig. 1) or so much of the body comprising the top
back & quarters and which within itself contains the seat of the vehicle I make
entirely seperate & attach it to the lower portion or booted well (a Fig. 1) by suit-
able slides so that a lengthening or shortening of the body can be readily effected
so as to enable the load to be brought immediately above the suspending axis or
axle in which ever way such load may be distributed.

I NATHANIEL BERRY of 135 City Road in the County of Middlesex Pianoforte
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 improvements in the construction of the bodies or
cases of pianofortes and consists in making them wholly or partly of sheet metal,
pressed, hammered, or otherwise wrought and made up into the shape or form of
the case or body of the instrument required-such cases to be used in place of the
ordinary wood and veneered cases of such instruments.
In carrying out my invention I find it advantageous to use tinned, iron, or
steel plates in making the metal cases of pianofortes. Such cases are found in
practice superior to wood as they are not affected by hot climates and will stand
extremely hot and wet seasons. They are more durable and the quality of the
tone is improved by the case the interior of the instrument is protected from
sudden atmospheric changes.
They can be ornamented so as to represent fancy. woods, or in any manner
desired and never require to be repolished.
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 improved construction of pianofortes by making the bodies or cases of
sheet metal substantially in the manner hereinbefore described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN APPLIANCES FOR PREVENTING CORROSION IN STEAM BOILERS
Year: 1885

page_text: I LARS CASPER CASPERSEN of 9 Kvosthusgaden Copenhagen Denmark Marine
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPLIANCES FOR PREVENTING CORROSION IN STEAM BOILERS" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
•
Various, attempts have heretofore been made in preventing or counteracting
corrosion in steam boilers by the employment of apparatus or appliances consisting
of zinc in combination with copper. A copper rod, bar or otherwise formed body
has thus been employed around which a body of zinc of spherical or other form his
been cast, the rod or bar moreover being variously shaped, sometimes for instance
zig zag, sometimes formed with flanges or other projections with the view to
retaining the zinc in place on the copper bar or other body But in all such
previous attempts the result has been that by the galvanic action arising at the
place of contact between the copper, the zinc and the water in the boiler (such
water containing acid parts which act as inciter in the establishing of a galvanic
action) a gradual eating away of the zinc .in contact with the copper has resulted
and thus after a while the zinc has retained no clean metallic continuity or
conductive contact with the copper, and the galvanic action has ceased.
Now according to my invention I prevent this defect, or I materially delay the
arising of such defect by constructing such appliances with a stuffing box where
the copper rod, bar or other body enters the body of zinc, and as the water is thus
prevented from entering the place of juncture of the two metals the aforesaid
eating away of the zinc here is prevented or very greatly delayed. At the same
time I form or provide the copper bar rod or other body with projections of any
suitable form such for instance as cross pins, star points or flanges, which are con-
tinued out in the zinc. By these means I cause the wasting away of the zinc to
take place mainly or wholly from the outside which is the beneficial result to be
aimed at. The stuffing box packing may be asbestos packing. A convenient form
of appliance is shown in plan at Figure 1 and in part sectional elevation at Figure 2
and consists of a round copper rod B provided with a number of copper cross pins D

page_text: and with a spherical or other body of zinc C cast round, a stuffing box A being pro-
vided at each end, and the copper rod B at each end being connected by copper
wire W W with parts of the boiler to be protected.
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
Constructing or providing appliances for preventing corrosion in steam boilers
with stuffing box where the copper rod or other body enters the body of zinc, and
providing such rod or other body with projections out in the zinc substantially as
described and shown and for the purposes set forth.

page_text: I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of No 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane
in the County of Middlesex, 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:
The resins of conifers, such as Fir-Resin, Colophonium, Burgundy Pitch and
similar resin acids, are, according to this invention, distilled in a partial vacuum.
The distillates that pass over at a temperature of from 250° to 280° Cent. may be
advantageously separately collected. These are mostly oleaginous mixtures of
turpentine-oil and resin-oil that are utilised in manufactures; the distillates
subsequently given off at temperatures up to about 300° C., and even higher, yield
a turpentine that approaches in its properties very near to the venetian turpentine,
and exceeds the same in clearness and purity. The degree of heat to be applied
will depend more or less upon the size, shape and arrangement of the distilling
vessels and on the degree of vacuum employed.
Similar beneficial results will be obtained if, instead of treating, the resins in a
partial vacuum, they are treated in the presence of neutral gases or of superheated
steam, but the best results are obtained with a partial vacuum.
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 production of turpentine from the resins of conifers by distilling the same
either in partial vacuum, or in neutral gases, or in superheated steam.

TEA SO AS TO IMPROVE THE BEVERAGE PREPARED THEREFROM and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
5
I take a Mixture of both Indian and China Tea or either of them and add
thereto a solution of Cocaine such solution is prepared by mixing rectified spirit
therewith in the following proportions namely twenty parts of rectified spirit to
one part of Cocaine and then to each pound of tea I add sufficient solution
to contain two grains of Cocaine, the proportions to be varied according to the 1
kind and strength of the tea used I then dry off the spirit by means of gentle heat,
the mixture meanwhile being placed in trays and subjected to a gentle undulatory
motion. When the tea is thus dried I add two drams of Coca leaves and it is then
ready for use The mixture is to be sold and designated as Cocaine tea.
.
What I claim is an improvement in the preparation of tea by combining 1
therewith the active principles of the Coca leaf in the manner above described
which thus renders it entirely harmless to the nervous system of the body and
imparts to it those tonic properties so peculiarly valuable.
A NEW OR IMPROVED RICE PREPARATION
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JOSEPH FRANKLIN. GENT, Manufacturer, of Columbus, in the county of
Bartholomew, in the State of Indiana, one of the United States of America do
hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED
RICE PREPARATION," 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 furnish a product prepared from rice, suitable for
all uses to which the ordinary rice of commerce is put, and possessing the advantage,
among others, that it can be more quickly and more satisfactorily cooked or reduced
than either whole or ground rice. To this end my invention consists of a new article
of manufacture which, from its flaky nature, may be termed "flake-rice" for the
sake of distinction. To prepare this flake-rice I take whole rice suitably cleaned and
after softening it somewhat by steaming reduce it to a coarse granular material by
a suitable grinding mill. The granular material is then again subjected to a
steaming sufficient to further soften the granules and to such a degree that they
may be rolled down without further reduction. The steamed granular material is
finally, while still soft, passed through hot rolls, by which the granules are rolled
out into flakes and dried at the same time. The rice flakes thus prepared
constitute the flake-rice.
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
As a new article of manufacture, flake-rice, substantially as before set forth.
IMPROVEMENTS IN SOWING-MACHINES OR GRAIN-DRILLS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the City of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
SOWING-MACHINES OR GRAIN-DRILLS, a communication to ine from abroad by Oscar
Syllwasschy, Manufacturer, of Alte Neustadt, Magdeburg, in the German Empire,
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 improvements in sowing-machines which consist of
certain parts hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing,
in which Fig. 1 is a sectional view through G-H, Fig 2-Fig. 2 a sectional elevation
taken in part through the line I-K, Fig. 1-Fig. 3 sectional views through L, M
and N. O of Fig. 4-Figs 4, 5, 6 and 7 represent details.
In the receiver A, which contains the seed, an endless screw C is made to rotate
by the toothed wheels z 1 and z 2, or other appropriate gearing, and pushes the seed
forward, at the same time lifting it towards the openings f. The seed finally falls
through these openings after having passed the nozzles f¹, the funnels f³ and the
drill-shares f. The grain which has reached the end of the screw, without falling
through the openings, is brought to the upper receiver B. by the buckets & of the
elevator E situated in the chamber F, and is again transported to the screw D,
which is turned the reverse way by the toothed wheels ³ and It thus comes
again into the lower receiver through some openings 6¹ which can be regulated by
slides b.
In order to regulate the quantity delivered by the screw C. (Figs 5, 6 and 7)
slides c are attached to the worm of the screw at a third of the circumference―
These slides fit in grooves c¹; any number can be taken out at pleasure, and they
are fastened by small screws c².
Figs 3 and 4 show details of the regulating slides f and b.
their nozzles f¹ enter the funnel ƒ³.
These slides f with
By means of a handle the slides can be raised or lowered in their grooves at
pleasure, so as to cover the openings f* entirely or partially.

page_text: When the machines are being transported, the openings are entirely covered, the
toothed wheels of the screw are thrown out of gear, and the drill-shares are raised
by winding the chain f³, by which they hang, round the axle g. by means of the
handle K. The funnels 3 hang in chains fastened to the slides f.
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
In drill-sowing machines in which a screw is used as a distributor
1-The removeable slides c of the screw-surface for the purpose of regulating the
Bize of the effective screw-surface.
2-The elevator E for bringing back the superfluous seed which has been
transported to the end of the seed-box, in connection with the screw D.
3 The funnels f³ provided with apertures on the sliding guides for the
discharge of the seed from the seed box.
NEW PROCESS OF PAINTING ON CLAY WITH COLORED CLAY OR DIPS

page_text: I JAMES GILDEA, 30 Holborn, London, E.C and Dale Hall, Burslem, Staffordshire,
Earthenware Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for NEW
PROCESS OF PAINTING ON CLAY WITH COLORED CLAY OR DIPS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
This process of Painting with various colors of Clay or Dips on the articles
themselves in the Clay state produces decorations that are imperishable and not
subject to removal by the admixture of various metallic Oxides, the decoration
being on the Clay by Colored Clay or Dips and not by ordinary Biscuit or Enamel
colors becomes part of the Body itself.
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. That the process is more lasting than painting with colors on Biscuit or
Glazed ware,
2. That it is not liable to removal or destruction by any Acid or by Atmospheric
conditions that other processes are subject to.
3. The novelty of decorating with colored Clay or Dips on Clay.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF. PATTERNS FOR CASTINGS FOR MACHINERY
Year: 1885

page_text: I, FREDERICK THOMAS WILLDEY, of 287 King Street West, Hammersmith, in
the County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF. PATTERNS FOR CASTINGS FOR
MACHINERY 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 an improved method of "angling," or filling in the
corners creatid in Patterns & core-hoxes for Machinery Castings by reason of one
surface joining another at right angles, or at different angles, with strips of lead or
other suitable metal, of the following section, a right angle on the side next the
corner in the pattern, and a concave on the other.
The above metallic strips being neatly laid along the corners at the junction of
the different surfaces in the patterns and core boxes whether straight, circular, or
curved, fills up the sharp corners thereat, and produces in their stead the required.
radius or hollow curve.
The strips of lead or other metal are made in sections of various sizes in order
to suit patterns of different sizes, and in such lengths as considered most con-
venient, to be neatly joined at the ends, and being easily bent, are readily fitted
into the corners it is desired to fill up with a radius, whether round the
circumference of a boss, along the edge of a hollow curve, or straight surface,
being then secured by small nails, cement, or other suitable method.
The above process provides a radius of any required size, in any of the corners
in patterns, it is desired to round off, by much simpler means than those at
present employed, and is illustrated by accompanying sketches.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
An improved method of "angling" or curving the corners of Patterns for
Machinery Castings, with a metal strip, or "angle," in preference to a wooden one
as at present generally used.

This Invention relates to Improvements in the apparatus employed for the
manufacture of white or colorless vinegar and consists of a still and condensing
arrangement together with a pump or pumps or other means of forming a vacuum
in the still or chambers during the process of distillation so that the temperature
required for vapourization may be kept as low as possible. These improvements
may be applied to any still.
In carrying out the improvements in the manufacture of white or colorless
vinegar according to this Invention malt or other vinegar is distilled in an appa-
ratus consisting of (see drawing) a still A condenser B and receiver C from the
interior of which the atmosphere is removed and as perfect a vacuum as possible
maintained during the operation.
For the purpose of forming a vacuum in the still A pipes D and chambers E
a pump F is usually employed to remove the air but as perfect a vacuum as
practicable may be maintained by any known means such as a steam jet apparatus
or water column.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
Distilling vinegar in a still or apparatus from the interior of which the air is s
removed and as perfect a vacuum as practicable maintained during the operation.

Carpenter, 191 Railton Road Brixton, Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for THE IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE GRATES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
To consist of a horizontal Smoke Consuming Chamber constructed directly over
and covering the whole of the fire and forming the actual commencement of the
flues (as shewn on Vertical Section of Drawings), the plate A immediately above
the fire becomes heated to redness, the Smoke entering the Chamber at the back of
fire, passing over the heated surface of plate and being held in suspension by means
of baffels or projections (marked B B in Horizontal Section) is then conveyed to a
vertical flue on each side of stove as indicated by direction of small arrows shewn
on Drawings. The advantages of this arrangement are that the most perfect
combustion is obtained, the ingress of cold air to the flues being prevented they
become thoroughly heated, thereby rendering a down draft (or smoky chimney)
impossible, and a much larger amount of heat is obtained.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our..
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The Smoke Consuming Chamber as described above.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF WOVEN FABRICS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HARRISON BENN, of the firm of Messrs Joseph Benn & Sons, Beck Side Mills,
Great Horton, Bradford in the County of York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF WOVEN
FABRICS 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 certain improvements in the arrangement of the design
on woven fabrics,
The classes of goods to which my improvement more especially applies are those
made with cotton, worsted, botany alpaca, mohair or mixed wools for warp or weft
in any design of Twills, Diagonals or Figures.
"
Within the last few years goods having these combinations have been made in
much wider widths than formerly: so wide that when the cloth is doubled or
rigged" in or near the centre, the right and left sides of linings, dresses and other
articles can be cut exactly alike at the same time. But in twills running diagonally
right across the piece as hitherto manufactured, in the cutting out of the same, the
twills would continue diagonally when the garment was made up, whilst it is
desirable the right and left sides should have the twills running diagonally in
opposite directions, and meeting in or near the centre.
In order to accomplish this I make the twills, diagonals or figures in any design,
one half the piece or thereabouts to the right and the other half or thereabouts to
the left.
In order to more clearly explain my improvement, I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shews the twill as
indicated by the lines A running right across the piece as hitherto manufactured.
Figure 2 shews my improvement with the twills as indicated by the lines A¹ A¹
running from both edges of the piece to the centre, or "rig" B. C, where the pieces
of wide width are doubled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I hereby declare that
what I claim is
The manufacture of pieces with the twills or design of whatever description
meeting at or about the centre of the piece substantially in the manner described
and for the purpose herein set forth.

The object of this invention is to prevent the breaking or weakening of the
paper sheets by bending them for the corners and sides.
It consists in stamping the paper sheet to be used for the boxes by great pressure
in such a way that those places where the sheet is to be bent to form the bottom a
groove of a sharp round or other suitable angle is formed when the paper can easily
be bent without breaking.
Strengthening pieces impressed in the same way can be used as decorations &c.
After stamping the sheet can be cut out in the corners in the usual way.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF POSTS OR COLUMNS FOR CARRYING LAMPS OR LANTERNS and in
Year: 1885

page_text: DE BUITIVATION,
I, FRANCIS WILLIAM CORDEN, Electrical Engineer, of Datchet, in the County of
Buckinghamshire do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF POSTS OR COLUMNS FOR CARRYING LAMPS OR LANTERNS
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 improvements in the construction of posts or columns
for carrying lamps or lanterns and has for its object the production of a post
column or mast which will admit of the lamp or lantern being readily and easily
lowered for cleaning or other purposes its particular construction also enabling the
lamp or lantern to be fitted on the top of and central with it and in this way
obviating the necessity of hanging them at the side as is usual for purposes of
lowering.
My invention will be more readily understood on reference being made to the
accompanying drawings.
The lantern "a" Figs 1 & 2 is held in position on the top of the post by a
conical socket "b." The frame "c" is pivoted at the point "d" and connected by
means of the rod "e" to a pair of levers "ff" pivoted at the point “g” which
carry the lower ends of the guy ropes "h h¹" These guy ropes or rods are
attached at their upper ends to the frame "c" at a point of equal radius to the
levers "ff" so that they are always in a vertical plane whatever be the position
of the swing frame "c" and levers "ff"
A cord is attached to the lantern "a " and passes over suitable pulleys to the
winch "j" by turning which the lantern can be lifted from it's socket "b." The
frame "c" and levers "ff" are then free to be moved to the position shown by
dotted lines in Fig 1; by now unwinding the winch 'j' the lantern may be lowered
and by reversing these operations can be returned to its position on the top of
the post.
The electrical connections to the lantern, when an electric or electric lamps are
employed, I make by means of suitable spring contacts or mercury cups and
dippers inside the coned socket "b.”
I sometimes prefer to employ the method shown in Fig 3 where by the
employment of 2 ropes the frame may be shortened; the other arrangements being
similar to those already described in connection with Fig 1 & 2.

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
1 A lamp or lantern placed upon & central with the post which supports it and
capable of being moved sideways and clear of the post by a swing frame or
moveable upper part of the said post.
2 The combination of guy ropes or rods connected with the swing frame or
moveable upper part of the post and suitable levers at their lower ends as herein
described.
3 The use of the coned socket containing the dippers and mercury cups or
spring contacts as herein described.
and other like Articles.

Surrey Clerk to an Umbrella 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 improvements in the construction of umbrellas sun
shades tents and other like articles and the object of my improvements is to give
strength to the frame when exposed to a storm of wind by connecting the ribs and
stretchers by means of a flexible cord or by a tie rod in the case of the latter one
end of the tie rod would move or slide on the stretcher when opening and closing
the umbrella.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood, and readily carried
into practice I will proceed to describe the drawing hereto annexed which shows
one of the ribs a and stretchers 6 of an umbrella or sun shade connected by a
flexible cord c (or it may be a tie rod) in accordance with my improvements.
Each (or in some cases only part) of the ribs and stretchers of an umbrella sun
shade tent or other like article would be connected by a flexible cord or tie rod c in
like manner to the one shown in the drawing.
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 improved construction of umbrellas sun shades tents and other like articles
by connecting the ribs a and stretchers 6 by a flexible cord or tie rod csubstantially
