An Improved Construction of Bottles and Stoppers for Liquids.
I, WILLIAM PURDON of Lambert Street, Hull Commercial Traveller, 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:-
I construct my improved bottle outwardly and inwardly to resemble an ordinary
ale or stout bottle, but the neck of such bottle gradually widens out to allow the
ball free play, and is provided at the mouth with preferably a recess, in which is
an indiarubber or other suitable ring; the stopper consists of a glass or other
ball, which beds upon the ring when the bottle is charged with liquid; when the
bottle is opened by depressing the ball, the ball drops to the bottom of the bottle,
when pouring out the liquid, the ball rests in, and is prevented from entering the
neck of the bottle, by the round shoulder, formed between the body of the bottle
and the neck; this bottle is specially adaptable for aerated liquids, ales, and
stouts, and other liquors, in which compressed air or gas is used in bottling, and is.
easily and readily cleansed by the ordinary machinery.

Improvements in or connected with Brakes for Road Carts and
other Wheeled Vehicles.
I, ISIDOR CAHN, Manufacturer, of Schwanenstrasse, Elberfeld, in the German
Empire, 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 :-
Brakes for carts and the like, as hitherto constructed, had the defect, that, as
soon as the brake was applied, a considerable pressure due to the sudden locking of
the wheels was exerted upon the draft animal.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the new brake applied to a cart.
Fig. 1 is a side view, Fig. 3 an underside view, and Fig. 2 a section along
line of Fig. 3.
The present invention has for its object, to diminish the pressure on the wheel,
and to render it more gradual, so as to avoid sudden shocks. For this purpose the
brake shoe carries one or more rollers r. When the brake is applied, the rollers r
are firmly pressed against the wheels, so as to lock them, but the locking pressure
is not so sudden, and as the rollers, when thus applied, turn with the wheels, the pull
on the draught animal is considerably reduced. Moreover, the brake and the wheel
tyres suffer less, than in the brakes hitherto constructed. At each end of the brake
beams and opposite to the wheels on which the brake is required to act, there is
mounted a brake roller r. The beams slides upon two shafts secured to the
carriage frame, and is connected by rods a with a lever d which has its fulcrum at c
under the axle of the wheels. This lever d is connected by a rod e with one arm of
a bell crank lever g, the other arm of which is connected with a screw spindle h
furnished with a crank handle k. By turning this handle, the brake rollers are
applied or released with the aid of the screw nut h', lever 9, link lever d, frame a
and beam s. According as the spindle is turned in one direction or the other, the
nut h is propelled to the right or to the left, thus causing the brake rollers to be
applied or released. Instead of one roller fixed to the end of the beam s, two or
more rollers may be used.
e,
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
==
A brake for wheeled vehicles, having one or more friction rollers r, instead of
the usual sliding blocks, in order to obtain a more gradual application of pressure,
substantially as described.

Improvements in India-rubber Packing Material.
I. Dr. HEINRICH TRAUN trading under the firm of Harburger Gummi-
Kamm-Co. of 60 Meyerstrasse, Hamburg in the Empire of Germany, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in india-rubber packing materials, and
the object of the same is to make the latter applicable for use in hot air, gas and
steam engines, pipes retorts and other vessels employed in the production of oils
and chemical substances, by rendering the same capable of resisting the action of
heat, and acid and of withstanding the destructive effect caused by the adhesion to
the flanges of the pipes, covers of gas and steam cylinders, retorts, vessel, and
the like.
In carrying my invention into practice I line the india-rubber plate, disc or ring
on one or both sides with a foil of lead, tin, aluminium, or an alloy of the same,
and then subject the whole to the vulcanizing process in a boiler whereby the
metal-foil will be intimately united with the vulcanized india-rubber, so that the
former will protect the india-rubber against any destructive mechanical or chemical
action.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated the form in which I preferably
employ my improved india-rubber packings for use in pipe-joints, man-hole covers
and the like.
Figures 1 and 2 represent cross-sections of a packing ring.
Figure 3 is a plan view thereof and
Figure 4 is a modified form.
The elliptical cross-section (Figure 1) of the packing ring is advantageously
used in such cases, where the surface of the joints are undressed, the plane ring
(Figure 2) for smooth surfaces, such as for instance the flanges of steam, gas and
hot-air cylinders, while the semi-elliptical cross-section (Figure 4) having the flat
side unlined and also a flat ring of the form (Figure 2) with only one side lined
with metal foil in such vertically arranged joints where it is desired that the
packing-ring shall adhere to one flange, while the other is removed.
This packing material is especially applicable in cases where the management
of the manufacture necessitates a regular inspection of the apparatus and conse-
quently a repeated opening of their joints, since this packing material may be
repeatedly employed without losing the property it possesses of making a tight
joint.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
As an improvement in packings for joints a packing-plate ring or washer of
india-rubber, lined on one or both sides with a metal foil which is intimately
united with the india-rubber while vulcanizing the latter, substantially as and for
purpose set forth

I, KARL HEINRICH DICKMANN, of Ummeln, near Brackwede, Germany, 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 has reference to means for securing wheels to carriage axles and
to affording protection to same from accidental or wanton interference with the
working parts, in order that security when travelling may be ensured. Moreover,
my invention is intended to prevent the entrance of dust &c. into the wheel-box,
as well as on the other hand, the escape of lubricating material, with the object of
preventing the wearing away of the running or bearing surfaces, as much as
possible.
In the accompanying drawings, the invention is shewn at Fig. 1, in longitudinal
section, at Fig. 2 in cross section and at Figs. 3, 4, and 5 in separate detail
parts.
As appears from the construction, the contrivance consists in the first place of an
axle A, groove N, which holds a closure ring R provided with ribs, serving as a
tapering head or cap for the wheel box.
The closure ring R is made in two parts R¹ R², connected by a hinge, which by
a screw cap K is firmly held upon the axis A N. The one part R2 of the closure
ring (Fig. 5) has an opening L for the purpose of being able to open the ring by
means of the pointed end of the key S, Fig. 4. The key S, Fig. 4 is applied
when required to the head of the screw P, the latter entering depression V in the
ring R.
The screw-cap K encloses the part of the wheel-box B projecting beyond the
nave in such manner that a junction of both parts is effected answering the before
mentioned purpose.
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 wheel protector for carriage axles distinguished by a hinged closure ring R
made in two parts, surrounding the outer bearing of the wheel axis, held in place
by a groove N, and secured or held to the axle by a cap K, wherein a screw P
enters a depression V in the ring, and the screw cap at the same time through
partial surrounding of the wheel box B effects a corresponding closure of the same,

An Improvement in Adhering Sheets of Paper Together.
I, LEE DARNEAL CRAIG, Notary Public of 316 Montgomery Street, San
Francisco, State of California, United States of 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 :-
The object of my invention is to provide a ready means by which sheets of paper
may be stuck together without the use of free mucilage, and without smearing
mucilage or other adhesive gum on the paper.
It consists of making a sheet having an adhesive surface in a dry form, on both
of its sides. This adhesive sheet can then be rolled or packed in layers. When it
is to be used it can be cut in strips or pieces of any desired size, and either dipped
in water or moistened on both sides with the tongue or otherwise. For instance,
if it is desired to stick one end of two sheets of foolscap paper together, I simply
cut from the prepared sheet a narrow strip equal in length to the width of the
I then moisten this strip on both sides and place it between
the two sheets and press them together. This unites the sheets by means of an
interposed adhesive strip.
sheets to be united.
This adhesive sheet will be of great convenience and value to public officers,
where a seal or certificate is to be affixed to paper; as a piece of my adhesive
paper moistened and affixed upon the document will furnish a perfect adhesive
surface to hold the seal or certificate.
It is apparent that this prepared adhesive sheet will serve a far better and neater
purpose than the use of free mucilage, which is liable to dry and cake, and which
it is almost impossible to smear evenly, because when it is applied in a fluid
condition, the pressure required to unite the sheets causes the liquid adhesive to
spread and be exuded from the edges of the sheet. This sheet may be formed by
having for a basis upon which to form the two adhesive surfaces, paper, tissue,
gauze, or any other material or fiber. The adhesive substance might also be rolled
into thin sheets, either pure or mixed with some other substance and then dried,
and then to be used in the same way.
I am aware that adhesive compounds have been applied upon one side of paper,
such as postage stamps and the like, in order to cause one side to adhere to the
paper.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is:
As a new article of manufacture, adhesive sheets, having both sides coated with
an adhesive substance, for the purpose specified.

A New or Improved Combination Tyre for Velocipedes and other
Vehicles.
I, ARTHUR JOSEPH THOMAS of Ivydene Sheepcote Road Harrow Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :—
My invention relates to a new or improved combination tyre for velocipedes and
other vehicles and has for its object to prevent the liability to puncture to which
this class of tyres are exposed when riding on rough roads while at the same time
increasing their resiliency and reducing vibration.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide two pneumatic or cushion tyres
and a solid tyre the latter being furnished with two side flaps or extensions which
surround the two pneumatic tyres their edges being secured by the rim of the
wheel.
In the accompanying drawings
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show three different ways of carrying my invention into
practice,
Fig. 4 shows a special form of rim for bicycle or tricycle wheels,
Fig. 5 is a view of the solid tyre with its lateral flaps or extensions.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures.
My invention consists in forming a tyre with two pneumatic or cushion tyres a
and and a solid tyre c. The two tyres a and b are placed side by side as shown
while the solid tyre is outermost and hence bears on the ground. The solid tyre c
(Fig. 5) is provided with flaps or extensions of the same material which are
placed around the two pneumatic tyres a and b either in the manner shown in Fig. 1
where they pass between the pneumatic tyres their edges being held by the rim r
of the wheel and fixed to the tyres a and b by means of solution or in any other
suitable manner or as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 where the flaps surround the
tyres a and outside and are fixed in the same way. The spaces s may be filled
with any suitable packing material or in some cases I may impart sufficient
thickness to the flaps as to nearly fill such spaces. Or I may give the solid
tyre e the form shown in Fig. 3 so as to extend between and abut against the two
pneumatic or cushion tyres a and b. In some cases I form the rim of the wheel
of the shape clearly shown in Fig. 4. The two pneumatic tyres may be inflated by
a common valve.
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 a combination tyre for velocipedes and other vehicles
consisting of two adjoining pneumatic or cushion tyres and of a solid outermost tyre
surrounding the former by means of flaps or extensions substantially as herein
described and shown in the accompanying drawings and for the purpose set forth.

CHRISTOPHER DOBSON Box Maker and Wood Turner 9 Mill Street Meadow
Road Leeds 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 said invention consists of improvements in the construction of fastening lids
on to boxes and dispensing with the ordinary hinge.
It consists of a plate of iron, brass, zinc or other metal peculiarly shaped and
fastened on the lid by nails or screws at the two outer top corners A (Fig. 2.) and
also fastened to the sides of the box by one nail or screw at B (Fig. 3) on each
side, thus protecting and strengthening the corners and dispensing with the ordinary.
hinges.
The plates are stamped out of a solid piece of metal by a special die (Figure 1)
and three holes punched therein, then bent at an angle and fastened on to the box
and lid by means of nails or screws as at A. B. (Fig. 2.).
In lifting the lid the plate works on the nail or screw B (Figs. 3. 4.) at the sides,
as on a pivot and when thrown back the lid is supported by its own pressure on the
back of the box at C (Figs. 3. 4.) and held in self supporting manner, no inside
supports being necessary.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in
what manner it is to be performed I would observe in conclusion that what I
consider novel and original and therefore claim as constituting the invention, is,
1st. The plate acting as a corner plate and hinge combined.

Improvements in or connected with Envelopes.
I, DAVID KANTOROWICZ, of 11 Lübeckerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, Printer, 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 envelopes for letters and the like and has for its object
to provide improved means whereby the opening of such envelopes may be quickly
and easily performed without the use of a knife or scissors so as not to damage the
contents and whereby at the same time the envelopes will remain intact so as to
preserve the addresses, the postage stamps, the post marks, and the like which is
sometimes important to do where envelopes are kept to produce as evidence in law-
suits or for other purposes.
According to my invention I arrange a string in combination with an envelope as
hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a back view of an envelope provided with a string according to my
invention.
Figure 2 is a view, with part of one of the flaps turned back to shew the
string; and
Figure 3 illustrates the method of opening the letter by means of the string.
A indicates an envelope, and B a string which as shewn in the drawing is
arranged in the fold of one of the flaps of the envelope, but which may, if desired,
extend around the folds of two or more flaps. This string protrudes at one or both
ends enough to allow of its being grasped to pull it for the purpose of opening the
envelope as shewn in Figure 3 but not enough to render it liable to become
entangled with the strings of other envelopes.
The said string is held in place by gumming or otherwise securing it to the
envelope either throughout its whole length or at one or more points only.
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:
An envelope having a string fixed in the fold of one or more of the flaps at one
or more points or throughout its whole length substantially as, and for the purpose,
described.

ALEXANDER BLACK FERGUSON and ROBERT JOHN KEY of 42 Stamford
Street Blackfriars S.E. Designers and Manufacturers of Art Needlework, 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 tobacco pouch. The materials used are an india
rubber tobacco pouch and coloured leather made in imitation of prepared antelope
skin. The coloured leather is cut to the shape of the pouch, and then stitched on
to the rubber, after which the edges of the leather are submitted to a process of
pinking, by being run through a machine for that purpose, thereby making a fancy
edge round the pouch. The leather covering greatly adds to the durability of the
pouch, and the edges being neatly pinked greatly improves the appearance of the
pouch.
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. The application of coloured leather, as described, for coverings of tobacco
pouches.

Metallic Packing for Stuffing Boxes.

Metallic Packing for Stuffing Boxes.
I, HERMANN FRIESE of Dortmund, Westphalia, in the German Empire,
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 a metallic packing for stuffing boxes which although
more particularly designed for the compressors of ammonia ice machines is also
adapted for use in steam engines.
The substantial feature of the invention consists in that the several parts-in
this case two-forming the packing are so turned to form each a screw like spiral
that their two side surfaces are oblique in opposite directions so that there are two
spirals which, slid the one into the other, form a closed chamber for the piston
rod to work in. Upon screwing down the stuffing box gland the spirals in con-
sequence of their oblique side surfaces are pressed, the one inwardly towards the
piston rod and the other outwardly against the interior wall of the stuffing box,
and so as to leave between the outwardly pressed spiral and the piston rod a screw
like oil space or oil channel which is formed so large that in the use of such
packing in the stuffing boxes of the compressors of ammonia ice machines, it will
contain a quantity of oil that will not freeze and thus be capable of shutting off
the ammonia gases. Owing to the provision of this oil space the packing is
particularly suitable for the compressors of ammonia ice machines, as that hitherto
used allows the ammonia gases to pass by it and is therefore unsuitable.
The packing of the invention is shewn in the accompanying drawing in section
placed in a stuffing box with a rod passing through. a, b, are the spirals, c the oil
space into which oil is conducted.
In addition to shutting off the ammonia gases, the rod reciprocating in the
stuffing box is well lubricated.
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:-
:-
In metallic stuffing box packing for the compressors of ammonia ice machines
the arrangement of an oil chamber or channels for containing a quantity of
unfreezable compressor oil, for the purpose specified substantially as described and
shewn.

Improvements in Water Barrows or Barrels.
I, JAMES MARTIN, of 96, Southampton Place, Reading, in the County of Berks.,
Foreman of Seed Grounds, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to water barrows of the kind usually used by gardeners
and nurserymen and has for its object to minimise the labour of filling and
emptying the same and also to prevent the injury which watering cans are subjected
to when filling the ordinary barrel.
According to my invention I provide for adjusting the barrel at any required
angle to suit the height of the person using the same and for this purpose I
advantageously make use of a toothed bar or rack pivotted to one of the standards
upon which the barrel proper is supported and adapted to engage with a lug or
stop upon the barrel.
prefer that the said stop should form one side of a slot through which the bar
or rack passes as the said slot tends to prevent vibration of the barrel and the
consequent noise which is so great an annoyance when the barrel is wheeled about
empty.
