An Improved Process for Removing Gummy, Resinous, and Oily Matters from Fibrous, Spun, or Woven Materials.
Year: 1886

page_text: An Improved Process for Removing Gummy, Resinous, and Oily
Matters from Fibrous, Spun, or Woven Materials.
I, BENNO FIEGEL of 55 Kochstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany, Chemist,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved isolation process for the preparation of
fibrous spun or woven material of all kinds, and consists in isolating and removing
effectually all gummy, resin, or oily matter therefrom, by putting the stem or bast
of fibrous plants, (hemp, flax, Rheea, etc) wool or other spinning material, as well
as spun and woven goods, into water to which is added pepsin or pancreas. The
duration of the process and proportion of the pepsin or pancreas to be used, are
proportioned according to the quantity and composition of the matter to be removed,
and the solution of the pepsin or pancreas will also be prepared according to the
disposition of the material to be treated, either sour neutral or alkaline.
The advantage of this process consists in the great quickness and cheapness of
the same compared with the process of roasting, viz.-boiling with alkali, etc.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of this invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The isolation process for the preparation of spinning fibres, spinning material,
spun and woven goods of all kinds, by the use and action of pepsin or pancreas as
set forth.
A. NEW OR IMPROVED DETACHABLE CUFF FOR SHIRTS
Year: 1886

page_text: I GEORGE BENSON of View Mount Windsor Avenue, Belfast, Ireland Manu-.
facturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A. NEW OR IMPROVED
DETACHABLE CUFF FOR SHIRTS 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 reference to a new or improved cuff of neat and elegant
appearance for attachment to shirts.
The detachable cuffs at present in use, when worn, admit of the wrist band of
the shirt being more or less seen and this is undesirable since the wrist band does
not always present a neat and tidy appearance and its presence discloses the fact
that a detachable cuff is being worn. And in the case of shirts with attached cuffs
there being only one edge available they soon soil rendering it necessary to change
the shirt frequently.
My invention is designed to meet these objections by producing a cuff which
will effectually conceal the wrist band of the shirt, while presenting the appearance
as though it formed part of the shirt, or was attached thereto by sewing in the
ordinary way.
To this end I cause a loose habit or separate fold which for convenience I call
the "inner fold " to be sewn to the back or inside of the ordinary cuff between the
longitudinal edges of same so that this inner fold will run over and effectually
conceal the wrist band; in other words when my improved cuff is worn the wrist
band will lie between the cuff proper and the inner fold and cannot consequently
be seen.
This inner fold is capable of being turned down towards either longitudinal edge
of the cuff so that the latter can be reversed when soiled as in the case of the
ordinary detachable cuffs.
I prefer to attach the cuff to the wrist band by two separate studs, buttons, or
similar fastenings.
In order that the arrangement and application of my improved cuff may be
more readily understood I will describe the accompanying Drawings in which
fig. 1 shows the cuff detached A indicating the outer fold or cuff proper, and B the
inner fold; fig. 2 shows the cuff attached to the wrist C, of the shirt sleeve D,
before the inner fold is turned down over the wrist band; fig. 8 shows the cuff A
021
°

page_text: attached, and the inner fold B turned down over the wrist band effectually con-
cealing the same and making it appear to the observer as if the cuff formed part of
the shirt.
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
First. In detachable cuffs the combination formed by the outer fold or cuff
proper A, and the inner fold B, substantially as herein described and set forth.
Second. The use and application of a detachable cuff which when applied to the
shirt conceals the wrist band in the manner substantially as herein described and
set forth.

Applying Ball Bearings to Washing and Wringing Machines.
I, RICHARD MOORE, of Rock Cottage Silsden, Yorkshire, Machine Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for APPLYING BALL BEARINGS TO
WASHING AND WRINGING MACHINES and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
By applying ball bearings to washing and wringing machines, so that the ends of
the shafts (upon which are rigidly mounted the wooden rollers as is well under-
stood) may come in contact only with a moveable surface, as of the above named
rolling balls; the friction incident to the said shafts being mounted in the ordinary
and relatively stationary blocks, is greatly diminished.
: In order that the application of ball-bearings, according to this invention, may
be clearly understood, hereunto is appended a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof,
wherein fig. 1 is an end elevation of a sufficient portion of a machine to illustrate
this invention Fig. 2 is a side view enlarged scale of one half the box which
carries the balls, and fig. 3 a cross sectional view of fig. 2.
As will be seen each end of each of the shafts a a upon which are mounted the
rollers bb is inserted in the opening surrounded by the balls c. The said balls c
being carried by the boxes or bearings d in such a manner that though quite free
to move around in the groove formed by the two parts & being placed together,
when the said shafts a a are withdrawn the said balls c shall be held in proper
· position. This is accomplished by the groove in the boxes d being made with its
bottom or outward edges e e to partly over-lap the said balls c, as shewn in detail
drawing fig. 4.
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 application of ball-bearings to the parts of washing and wringing machines
substantially as herein specified and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for AN IMPROVEMENT
IN OR RELATING TO MINERS' SAFETY LAMPS, 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 miners' safety lamps, and consists chiefly in the use and
application for such a lamp of a reflector of peculiar shape, the object of my
Invention being to increase the illuminating power of the lamp.
And in order that my Invention may be the more fully understood and readily
carried into effect I will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, reference
being bad to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a safety lamp to which my Invention is applied.
Fig. 2 is a plan and Figs. 3 and 4 side views of a reflector made according to my
Invention.
a is the frame and 6 the burner portion of the safety lamp; c is the reflector the
construction and peculiar shape of which is clearly shown in the Drawings. The
reflector c consists of a disc of any suitable material, preferably of metal which
may be tinned, plated, or otherwise treated in order to obtain a bright reflecting
surface. This disc is dished or concave, two of the sides c¹ c¹ being turned up in
order to reflect the light from the burner 6 upward, the other two sides c³ ³ being
left flat or nearly so to give a side light from the burner. The metal in the centre
of the disc c is punched out or removed and the disc o is secured to the lamp by a
set screw d or otherwise.
I would here state that I do not bind myself absolutely to the exact shape of
reflector shown but I consider that the shape I have shown is best adapted to the
requirements of the miners who require the rays of the light from the burner to
be thrown above the lamp as well as on each side.
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

CHARLES BILLINGTON and JOHN, NEWTON, Brassfounders, Longport, Staffre. do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ANTIFRICTION
METAL LINERS FOR MARINE AND OTHER SIMILIAR BEARINGS, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
Our invention consists in rolling antifriction metal liners by means (of trolls
grooved to a convenient section, the strips being rolled in convenient lengths. By
means of our invention we obtain a more dense metal than is obtained by the
usual method of casting them; and also the convenience of the liners being
interchangeable. When a bearing requires new liners, suitable lengths are cut, off
the strips, and inserted in the bearing, thereby doing away with the necessity of
having to mould and cast them.
Our invention has for its object, the application of "rolled" or "rolled and
drawn" antifriction metal liners for Marine and other similiar bearings. Our
object in "rolling or "rolling and drawing" said antifriction metal, being to
increase its density and consequently its durability.

page_text: I SAMUEL LUTHER SHELLENBERGER, of Tyler, in the County of Smith, and State
of Texas, one, of the United States of North America, 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:-
The following is a full, clear and exact description of my invention, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in
which
Figure 1 is a side view of my improved nut-lock: Figure 2 is an end view:
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 3, 3, Figure 1 showing the die
for compressing.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the collar, and Figure 5 is a perspective view
of the die.
My improvement relates to the construction of nut-locks, and consists of a slide
or continuous collar or ring made of lead or other soft or compressible metal or
material, having a hole so that it will fit or pass over the end of the bolt and
adapted to be pressed into the threads of an ordinary bolt and against the face of
an ordinary nut by a suitable die.
My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described and
pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings A represents the bolt, B, objects to be secured together
and C, the nut.
In these I claim no invention.
F, represents a collar or ring made of soft or compressible metal or material,
which I prefer to form with a sloping or bevelled outer portion, as shown.
E represents a die made tubular in part or whole, and made conical at its inner
portion, as shown at E¹.
.
The end of this die is placed against the ring or collar and driven or forced
toward the nut, thus compressing the collar or ring into the threads of the bolt and
pressing it up tight against the nut, as shown in Figure 3, forming a collar or
flange G on the ring, producing a water-tight joint between the ring and nut.

page_text: The die is then removed and the collar or ring thoroughly prevents the accidental
removal or loosening of the nut, and moreover prevents any moisture getting
between the nut and thread of the bolt, so that rust will not accumulate causing
the nut to stick upon the bolt and prevent its removal, and the threads are also
thus prevented from rusting.
When it is desired to remove the nut, it can be done by means of a wrench, as
the soft metal will be forced outward, not being able to resist the pressure or strain
brought upon the nut, or the ring may be removed from the bolt after the nut is
turned by cutting it open or melting it off if desired.
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 combination with an ordinary threaded bolt and ordinary nut thereon, a
separate soft locking ring formed substantially as shown and described and
adapted to be slipped over the end of said bolt against said nut and compressed
upon the threads of said bolt substantially as set forth.

page_text: I, ROBERT GRAFTON BOTHAMLEY of No 31 Brooke Street, Holborn in the County
of Middlesex, Merchant do bereby 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 apparatus whereby an operator can light a fire or flame
at some distance from him as for instance, at the opposite side of an apartinent.
I will describe the apparatus as applied for lighting a fire, referring to the accom-
panying drawings, Figs. 1 and 2 of which are side views of the apparatus shewn in
two different positions. On one of the fire bars A. I fix by a set screw or otherwise
one end of a frame B which has at its other end a spring clamp C, the jaws of which
are internally serrated. A bar D split at one end so as to clamp within it a match E
passes through a slot in the frame B, and has attached to it a wire or cord F. In
one position of the apparatus, as shewn in Fig. 1, the bar D lies so that the match E
which it carries is engaged between the jaws of the spring clamp C. On pulling
suddenly the wire or cord F, the match is rapidly withdrawn from the clamp C
becoming ignited by the friction and is thrown over to the position shewn in Fig. 2,
the flame of the match being thus brought close up to the combustible material in
the fire-place. Obviously by adapting the end of the frame B to be fixed on a gas
pipe or burner and connecting the cord F to the gas cock, the apparatus might in
like manner be applied to light the gas. Thus a person lying or seated in one part
of a chamber can, by merely pulling the wire or cord F, light a fire or gas burner in
another part of the chamber.
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:
Apparatus for igniting fires or flames at a distance from the operator, constructed
substantially as herein described and illustrated by the drawings.

page_text: I, EUGENE DERVAL of 36 Boulevard St Michel, Paris in the Republic of France
Civil Engineer, 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:-
My invention relates more especially to improvements in gas governors or
regulators for which letters patent were granted to me bearing date the 17th day
of June 1882 N° 2,867.
The object of these improvements is to render this kind of governor or regulator
more practically useful and to improve the action thereof.
In the Drawings hereto annexed Figure 1 is a cross section of a governor or
regulator with regulating screw placed at the side. Figure 2 a section of a similar
governor or regulator with the regulating screw placed on the cover, and Figure 3 a
section of the cup or cistern C seen in Figures 1 and 2.
These apparatuses consist generally of a float F, surrounded by a cylinder P,
fixed to the cover of the apparatus, and extending down into the liquid contained
in the cup or cistern C, in such manner that pressure of the gas, acting on the
surface of the liquid outside the cylinder P, causes the liquid, and with it the float F,
to rise inside the cylinder (P) until the upper conical part of such float F closes
more or less the opening G, by which the gas is delivered to the burner, or to the
pipes leading to a number of burners, as the case may be. The regulating orifice O
is closed or opened more or less as may be required by means of the regulating
screw V which may be applied at the side of the apparatus as shewn in Figure 1, or
at the top thereof, as shewn in Figure 2.
The flow of gas through the regulating orifice O at the upper end of the
cylinder P taking place at a sensibly constant pressure measured by the difference
of level of the liquid in the two communicating vessels C and P, the volume
passed remains the same irrespective of the dimensions of the burners employed or
of the variations of pressure of gas. By preference I make the cup or cistern C of
the form shown in Figure 3 whereby the action of 'the apparatus is improved and
the total height thereof is reduced and consequently the cost.

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:
First. In governors or regulators for gas burners the employment of one or more
regulating screws in combination with the regulating orifices O for the purpose of
regulating the opening thereof and consequently the volume of gas passing through
the same, substantially as hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the Drawings
hereto annexed.
Second. The special form of the cup or cistern C as illustrated in the Drawings
and for the purposes specified.

A NEW OR IMPROVED CAR OR CARRIAGE STARTER
Year: 1886

page_text: "
I LORENTZ ALBERT GROTH K.G.V. Civil Engineer and Proprietor of the Patent
Industrial and Financial Agency 30 Finsbury Pavement London E.C. do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED CAR OR CARRIAGE
STARTER a communication to me from abroad by Wilhelm Wernigh Civil Engineer
of 32 Seydelstrasse in the City of Berlin German Empire 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 to facilitate the starting of cars carriages &c the
power required being about (one third) of that usually required.
It consists of the wheel axle R Figs. 1. 2. and 3. on which the ratchet wheel a
consisting of two parts is screwed. The nave of this ratchet wheel is extended on
both sides on which the levers b and e are moveable. The lever b is provided
with an eye d to which the drawing rod m is fastened and also an other eye for
the click h Fig. 3. and on its end a stopper c for the click in its highest released
position.
The lever e is a friction lever provided with a spring g Fig. 2 and connected to
the click h by means of a connecting link k Fig. 3 and the small lever arm i.
In front of this apparatus is a double lever n which transforms the motion of
the traction rod p (at the end of which is placed the trace hook) into a slower one.
When starting the traction rods p and m double lever n, click lever b and click
all move forward. By means of the resistance generated by the friction of the
lever e on the nave of the ratchet wheel the click catches in the ratchet wheel,
while the connecting link k rests against the lever arm i of the click / thereby
turning the axle R.
As soon as the vehicle has started its further motion is independant of this
apparatus because the motion of the traction rod p is restricted by a bolt or pin.
The release of the click is effected by means of the friction lever e, the revolving
axle will move this in and it by means of the connecting link will pull the lever
arm of the click thereby releasing it as long as the vehicle is in motion.

page_text: The click remains free when there is no tension on the traces through the vehicle
may be moving, when by the backward motion of the traction rod, the click lever b
also moves backwards by means of the weight or o', while it will come into
action when the vehicle is fully stopped.
When the vehicle is moving backwards the arm i of the click h strikes against
the stopper thereby freeing the click and therefore the whole apparatus.
Instead of the stopper a rod q with buffers r may be used.
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 car or carriage starter consisting of traction rods p and m, double lever n
with weight o or o³, moveable click levér b with click h working in the ratchet
wheel a, moveable friction lever e with spring g connected by means of the
connecting link k to the lever arm i of the click has hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the drawings.

Year: 1886

page_text: I HENRY GEORGE BURSON of Stratfield, Mortimer in the County of Berkshire,
Ironmonger, General Smith & Machinist do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY COWLS FOR EXTRACTING SMOKE and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvements consist in the construction and arrangement of certain parts
to form chimney cowl and the invention may be performed by making the various
parts and constructing the cowl substantially as follows reference being had to the
accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation Fig: 2 an end elevation
Fig. 3. a cross sectional plan Fig. 4 a side section Figs. like letters represent like
parts. The arrangement consists of special apertures A. and air pressure or
deflecting plates B for increasing draught and so arranged that C. is always facing
the wind by revolving upon spindle D. As the air blows upon plate B it causes
a greater pressure as it reaches the centre of shaft and creates a partial vacuum
assisted by the inlets A., A., A., and discharges the smoke through the mouth of
cowl E. rendering a down draught impossible.
The oil cup F. is constructed as shown and contains a supply of oil to last for
4 years being perfectly air & dust proof & the lower part is so arranged as to
readily allow the chimney to be swept.
The whole to be constructed in any metal that may be desired.
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 addition or combination of four or more inlets or deflecting plates placed
in such a position as to increase the extracting power all in the manner sub-
stantially as described and illustrated.

I CHARLES CRAWFORD MARLEY late of 12 Dunning Street and now care of
Mr. George Robson 23 Linthorpe Road both in Middlesbrough in the County
of York 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 improvement consists in applying to Marine Boilers two separate combustion
chambers one above the other. The gases from the fire tubes first enter the bottom
chamber then pass through tubes or pipes into the smoke box placed underneath
and separate from the uptake thence they pass back through tubes or pipes to the
upper combustion chamber and return through tubes or pipes into the uptake or
chimney: The shell of the Boiler may be either circular or. of any other convenient
shape with ordinary fire tubes or pipes.
Having described the nature of my said invention I herewith annex drawings
illustrative thereof and have marked the same with arrows and letters of reference.
Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of a Marine Boiler in accordance with my
invention Figure 2 shows a method by which the tubes or pipes may be put into
their respective places from the front end of the boiler. Figure 3 shows section

shows back and elevation A is the furnace or fire tubes B the bottom combustion
chamber C the tubes or pipes D the smoke box E the tubes or pipes F the upper
combustion chamber G the tubes or pipes and H the uptake or chimney.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same may be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The arrangement of tubes or pipes.
2. The two distinct combustion chambers and

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bituminous and other Felts.
Year: 1886

page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Bituminous and
other Felts.
I WILLIAM BARRY RITCHIE of Belfast, in the County of Antrim, Ireland, Felt
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 has for its object the improvement of those felts commonly known
as bituminous, tarred, or resinous felts, both as regards their appearance and
quality, and also as regards their efficiency.
To this end I subject the felt to pressure between roughened surfaces, and by
this means, the whole available pressure is brought to bear on a surface of limited
extent, thereby producing great compression where the projections on the
roughened surface bear upon the felt. The result of this treatment is the pro-
duction of a felt having the appearance of a woven fabric, and having the adhesion
of strongly compressed felt, but retaining the pliability desirable.
The depressions may be in the form of lines or corrugations extending quite
across the material, or in the direction of its length, or in both directions. Patterns
may also be impressed upon the felt on one or both sides thereof.
The felt may be indented by passing it through grooved rollers, but I prefer,
instead of grooving the rollers, to lay around plain rollers sheets of wire gauze or
other suitable material, thus providing pressing rollers with a roughened surface,
the pattern of which can be readily changed.
Besides the felt thus prepared with depressions and indentations being, as above
indicated, tough and pliable, and of a more or less ornamental character according
to the pattern selected, the roughness of the felt will render it efficient, when used
in conjunction with other covering material, by affording a more tenacious holding
surface.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
Manufacturing bituminous, tarred, or resinous and other felts, with depressions,
corrugations, or indentations, for the purpose above set forth.

of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to an improved device for containing smoking requisites.
The said device is in the form of a column the different parts of which are made
hollow and adapted to receive the different articles as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing I have shewn my improvements as applied to a
representation of the Trojans Colump at Rome, but it is to be understood that it
may be the representation of any other similar column. The upper part A of the
column forms a match box, and has hinged thereto the base of the statue which
serves as a lid.
The part A is removable and forms a cover for the part B which serves as a
receptacle for a candle or lamp, and which is also removable from the part C.
The part C is closed by a lid c and serves as a receptacle for pipes a spring
being arranged near the bottom of the column to raise the pipes when the lid is
opened.
A drawer G is placed in the base of the column for holding cigarette papers, etc.
The pedestal is provided with doors D, E on its four sides and forms a recep-
tacle F for different sorts of tobacco. The inside of the said doors are adapted to
hold cigars, mouthpieces, scissors, a penknife, and other articles that are necessary
to render the article complete for a smoker's use,

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
A device in the form of a column for containing smokers' requisites, the said
device being made hollow and provided with removable portions or doors in order 5
to afford access to the interior of the said column, substantially as described.
