Improvements in Cooking Ranges and Boilers.
THOMAS JOSHUA CORNISH 222 Farmers Road Camberwell London S.E. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists first in combining with fire grates of cooking ranges a
lifting bottom, so constructed to lift back and front. By so doing will lift the
whole body of fire to any height that may be required. In addition to this the
bottom is made to tip up from the centre for discharging ashes into ashpit. Com-
bining with these arrangements I have a wrought iron high pressure boot boiler
with flue through centre. So the heat must pass over the front of boiler and through
centre flue before escaping into chimney.

Mechanism in connection with a Cash Registering Apparatus to
Make Visible the Amount Last Added.
I CHARLES BRADBURY of 249 High Holborn, in the County of London,
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 object of this invention is to make visible the amount last added, after a
series of additions; the mechanism, in conjunction with a calculating machine,
being applicable to a cash registering apparatus.
In turning the counting wheel D (Fig. 1) of a calculating machine, having a
variable number of teeth, the toothed wheel z and the driving gear t fixed to same,
are caused to rotate in proportion to the number of said teeth employed.
The toothed segment s, turning on the shaft w, engaging with the driving
gear t, and attached to the bow b, will participate in such movement.
On the cylindrical front surface of the bow bare marked the figures 0 to 9, at
proper intervals to correspond with the distance which the bow b is caused to move
by the action of each tooth on the counting wheel D. These figures are visible
through the opening O.
In order to retain the figured bow in the position to which it has been moved,
and that it may afterwards return to zero so that a fresh addition may be made
visible, the following stopping and releasing device has been applied.
The catch (Fig. 2) pressed by a spiral spring f against the toothed wheel z,
prevents the latter from turning except when moved by the teeth on the counting
wheel D. This catch can however be disengaged by the one-armed lever i, moving
on the pivot L, to which lever a downward pressure can be given by the lever K,
moving on the pivot y. This lever K is actuated by the stud w fixed to the
counting wheel D.
C
On disengaging the catch c in the manner described, the bow b, moved by the
spring and also by its own weight, will return to its normal position at zero,
determined by the stop R.
When adding mechanism (as described) for a range of several figures is employed,
the lever is so formed as to act upon all alike, and to disengage every catch c
simultaneously, and is controlled by the single lever K, as shown in Fig. 3.
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 ;-
Mechanism, in connection with cash registering apparatus, to make visible the
amount last added, having toothed wheels gearing with the teeth (variable in
number) of a calculating machine, causing a figured bow to take up a certain
position, where it may be retained by a stopping. device which can be disengaged,
or allowed to return to its former position.

Improvements in the Preservation of Wood.
I, EMIL GROEBE, of Koenigstein on the Elbe, 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 :-
According to my invention I effect the preservation of wood by impregnating the
same with a solution of phosphate of lime in sulphurous acid.
For this purpose the dry wood to be treated is first subjected to the action of
exhaust by an air pump in a closed vessel. When the air has been sufficiently
exhausted from it by this means, there is admitted to the vessel a solution of
tribasic or tetra basic phosphate of lime in sulphurous acid, and is subjected therein
to a pressure of from 6 to 8 atmospheres.
The time required for the perfect impregnation of the wood is dependent upon
the length of the pieces; for pieces of from 3 to 6 feet in length it is generally
sufficient to maintain the pressure for about two hours. The wood thus impregnated
is now dried. For the purposes of preservation it is immaterial whether the
drying be effected in the open air or in a heated enclosed space, but as it is
desirable to regain the escaping sulphurous acid by leading the vapours through
water or in an alkaline liquid, the use of closed drying chambers is advantageous.
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 :-
1. The method of preserving wood by impregnating the same with a solution
of phosphate of lime in sulphurous acid, substantially as described.
2. As a new manufacture, wood preserved by impregnation with a solution of
phosphate of lime in sulphurous acid, substantially as described.

Improvements in the Production of Dextrins and Leiocomes.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery
Lane, in the County of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered 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 :-
This invention relates to the production of dextrins and leiocomes and has for
its object to obtain a clearer product than has heretofore been possible by the
ordinary roasting process. Moreover the products obtained by the improved
process are odourless and of an agreeable taste.
To this end prepared starch is heated and is at the same time subjected to the
action of ozone.
When the invention is to be applied to dextrin I produce the dextrin from
purified amylum, fecula or other kinds of starch. This starch is first treated in
the ordinary manner that is to say it is impregnated with the usual quantity of
acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, and allowed to dry. When the starch is air-
dry it is subjected to the action of heat. For this operation the prepared material
is placed in a heating or roasting apparatus constructed as usual but provided
with inlet and outlet tubes. The starch is heated to the usual temperature to
convert it into dextrin, and while it is being roasted it is acted upon by a current
of dry or moistened ozone which is passed into the cylinder through the said inlet
or inlets. The principal reaction takes place while the material is still giving off
watery vapours.
When what is known as leiocome is to be produced, the roasting is carried out in
the presence of ozone or ozonised air.
Dextrines and leiocomes prepared according to this improved process are far
clearer and brighter in colour than those at present in the market; besides this
they have imparted to them an agreeable taste and do not develop the well known
repugnant odour given off by the ordinary commercial products when dissolved.
The ozone which is employed may be prepared according to any known process,
but it is preferred to use ozone obtained by an electro-chemical method.
Instead of ozone, ozonised air may sometimes be employed which may be
moistened or not as desired.
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 :-
In the process of obtaining dextrins and leiocomes by heating or roasting starch,
subjecting the starch to the action of ozone or ozonized air, substantially as, and
for the purpose, specified.

I, ROBERT WENDE, of 4 Netzstrasse, Driesen, 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 an improved apparatus for indicating the lamp-hours of
electric lamps.
The accompanying drawing shows an elevation of my improved apparatus in
connection with an electric lamp.
This apparatus consists substantially of a clock mechanism A which can be set
in motion or stopped by a pawl connected with the contact-device of the corre--
sponding lamp according as such lamp is included in the circuit or cut out. For
this purpose I fix upon the shaft of the contact-screw B an eccentric C upon which
bears the longer arm E of a pawl supported in the rear plate D of the clock
mechanism A. The shorter arm F of the pawl, situated in the interior of the
clock mechanism A, is continually under the action of a spring G likewise fixed
to the rear plate D and which tends to pull it upwards, thus causing the longer-
arm E to bear continually against the eccentric C. The arm F of the pawl
engages with the escapement-wheel H of the clock mechanism. If I close the
circuit by turning the contact-screw B the eccentric C will turn at the same time
and enable the arm F of the pawl in conjunction with the spring G to liberate the
escapement-wheel of the clock mechanism so that the latter begins to move. The
division of the dial-plate of the clock mechanism is preferably such that in one
revolution the small hand will indicate 1000 hours, while the large hand indicates.
100 hours.
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 apparatus for indicating the lamp-hours of electric lamps, comprising a
clock mechanism whose escapement-wheel can be liberated or stopped by a
pawl moved by the contact-device of the light-conductor by means of an
eccentric.

A Football which is Made from One Piece of Leather.
JOHN MCGREGOR, 7, 9, 11, and 13 North Road Preston, Lancashire, Football
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The pattern of a football is so cut out from one piece of leather, that when the
ends and projections are sewn together a football is formed. The pattern is so cut
as to form one length of leather 1 or 2 inches wide down the centre of pattern
with ends or projections in any number on either side of pattern, that when the
projections are sewn together there is no sewing or seams crossing the width of two
inches, excepting at the mouthpiece of the ball where the two ends of the pattern
meet.
DL: 00-1904

page_text: 2. The ball is cut from the least possible piece of leather; consequently makes a
lighter ball.
3. The segments of the football being joined together at the centre of the pattern
by being cut of one piece of leather, there is less fear of the segments being
drawn out of place in sewing, consequently the ball will retain it shape.

An Improved Form of Shade Tilt for Electric Light Flexible Wire
Pendants or other similar Fittings.
ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT Electrical Engineer c/o F. H. Royce & Co.
Cooke Street Hulme Manchester 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 an apparatus for tilting the shade of an electric light
pendant, formed of flexible conductors, to various angles & the means I employ
are the use of a piece of rod or wire straight throughout its length except at one
end where it is formed into the shape of a spiral & having free to slide upon it a
small oblong plate drilled at one end to receive the said rod or wire and bent at the-
other end into the form of a hook.
In order more clearly to describe the nature of my invention I have attached.
hereunto a sheet of drawings whereon
Fig. 1 is the shade tilt alone and
Fig. 2 is the shade tilt applied to an electric light pendant.
In each figure similar letters refer to similar parts.
A represents the rod or wire with its end formed into a spiral & B represents
the said oblong plate bent & drilled.
It will be seen that by inserting the electric light pendant wire within the first
bend of the said spiral by merely rotating the spiral the electric light pendant wire
will become enclosed within the spiral & by placing the oblong plate at the
necessary position along the rod or wire the shade on being engaged as shewn with
the hook of the said plate will be tilted upwards at that point, the tension or weight.
which the shade throws upon the said hook being sufficient to retain the said plate
in the position decided upon.
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 :-
A shade tilt for electric light flexible wire pendants substantially as set forth.

Improvements relating to Photographic Printing Frames.
We. HENRY JAMES SPRATT, ALFRED SIDNEY SPRATT, and GEORGE
ALBERT SPRATT, of Tudor Works, Tudor Road Hackney in the County of
London Scientific Woodworkers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in photographic printing frames.
The object of our said invention is to construct an improved printing frame in
which the ordinary pressure springs are substituted by springs which are fastened
by the act of pressing them into position.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood, we now proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. is a plan view with dotted sections of a photographic printing frame
constructed according to our mention.
Fig. 2 is a section at line G G.
A is the framework.
B is the pressure board.
CCCC. are plate springs giving pressure to the pressure board, and which.
engage with the spring catches D.
Dare catches in the form of a lever having their fulcrum at or near the centre
one end being latch shaped, so as to engage by pressure with the ends of plate
springs C, the movement of these catches are actuated by the spiral springs F.
E are pins forming fulcrum upon which the catches D move.
Fare spiral springs actuating the catches D.
The act of depressing the plate springs
thereby locking the pressure board.
engages them with the catches D
To remove the pressure board for examining or changing the prints it is necessary
to press the projecting portion of the lever marked D₁ which releases the plate
springs C rendering the pressure board free for removal.
We do not limit ourselves to the particular form of spring catch herein described,.
nor the particular manner of applying the same, any convenient form may be
employed, provided always that the spring catch shall automatically engage with
the pressure springs when such pressure springs are depressed, for instance a
sliding spring bolt with a latch shaped end or any other similar device might be
substituted
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1st. Providing a photographic printing frame with pressure springs, engaging
with spring catches in such a manner that the act of depressing the pressure springs
into position locks the same.
2nd. A photographic printing frame constructed substantially as hereinbefore
described and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Improvements in Centrifugal Liquid Separators.
Year: 1894

page_text: Improvements in Centrifugal Liquid Separators.
I, SOPHUS CHRISTOPHER HAUBERG of 10 Meinungsgade, Copenhagen,
Denmark, Factory Manager, 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:-
Centrifugal separator drums or cylinders are usually provided with one or more
partitions or wings which during rotation serve to carry the liquid round at the
same speed as that of the drum. But such wings do not prevent unrest or shaking
motion in the liquid itself produced mainly by the inflow and which in a high
degree tends to counteract the separation of the liquid, and in the case of milk the
production of perfectly skimmed milk.
I obtain a much better result by partly or wholly charging that part of the
drum which during rotation contains the liquid with small bodies of any shape.
These bodies partly carry the liquid round and partly prevent any unrest or
shaking notion in the liquid because the motion connected with the inflow
disappears completely by meeting the layer of small bodies wherewith the liquid
is charged. These bodies are put in before the separator is set in motion forming
a horizontal layer at the bottom and so much liquid is poured in that it covers the
layer of these bodies.
Figure 1 is a vertical section and Figure 2 a plan of a separator "cylinder" or
drum suitable, for instance, for milk ;
Figures 3 and 4 are end views of the outlet for the heavy liquid and of the
outlet for the light liquid.
a is the hopper for receiving the milk or other liquid to be separated; bis the
pipe through which the heavy liquid (the skim milk) passes out of the drum and
c is the pipe through which the light liquid (the cream) passes out. d represents
a number of small bodies which partly or wholly fill the part wherein the liquid
is contained. These bodies may be hollow or solid and of any form by preference
of, for instance, ebonite or other suitable material.
When the drum is set in motion and as the speed of rotation increases the liquid
(and the bodies d therewith) changes position from the horizontal and finally
assumes the vertical position shewn in Figure 1.
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 application and use in centrifugal separator drums or cylinders of small
movable hollow or solid bodies of any form which partly or wholly fill the layer
of liquid, for the purpose of preventing unrest or shaking motion in the liquid
and thus obtaining a quicker and more complete separation of the heavy and light
parts of the liquid.

An Improvement connected with Coats and similar Garments.

An Improvement connected with Coats and similar Garments.
I, ROBERT SKELTON of 40 Aungier Street, Dublin, Ireland Tailor do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement :-
The usual practice adopted by tailors in obtaining the set or squareness of the
shoulder portion of a coat or similar garment is to apply, by sewing or otherwise,
padding of cotton wool or layers of cloth, stiffeners of whalebone, cane or other
like articles, or by shaped metal strips or plates; such padding or stiffeners being
generally applied to the facing which is on the inside of the coat at that part.
Now my invention relates to obtaining the set or squareness of the shoulder
portion without the aid of padding or metal stiffeners and to effect this purpose,
cut a slit or flattened oval shaped piece from the shoulder of the breast portion of
a coat, commencing at or near the collar and terminating a short distance from the
edge where the sleeves are attached so that on the edges of the slit or opening being
joined together the fabric will be arched at the shoulder portion to give the set or
squareness without the aid of padding or shaped metal stiffeners and if the fabric
does not in itself produce sufficient rigidity to keep itself arched at that point
I may put a few rows of stitching to impart the necessary stiffness.
The annexed drawing represents a portion of the breast piece of a coat with the
opening or slit A of approximately the shape desired in the shoulder portion in
about the position required, commencing from the collar edge B and terminating
near the shoulder or sleeve edge C to secure the necessary set or squareness of the
shoulder when the edges of the opening are joined together by say, sewing, the
diagram also showing the position of the stitching when a little extra stiffness is
required to be imparted to the material near the edge of the shoulder portion C.
In some cases the facing may have an opening of the same or similar shape, and
may or may not have stitching applied in or near the same position to assist in
retaining the necessary set or squareness to the shoulder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improvement connected with coats and similar garments as described for
the purpose set forth.
2. In a coat or similar garment obtaining the necessary set or squareness of the
shoulder portion without the aid of padding or shapers by cutting or removing a
portion of the material and uniting the edges of the opening as described.

Improvements in Valves.
We JAMES ASHTON FLETCHER, and SAMUEL FLETCHER both of Borough
Brass Works, Ashton-under-Lyne, in the County of Lancaster, Brass Founders,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
.
Our said invention relates to improvements in valves having sliding parts which
may be partially or wholly withdrawn from the valve seating so as to provide
clear passage for the fluid which the valve has to control.
..
Mounted in a suitable casing or seating is a sliding valve in two parts which at
certain places overlap.
The parts of the valves are pressed against their respective seatings or faces
in the casing by a conical or tapering prolongation of the screwed valve spindle.
A transverse key passes through the overlapping parts of the valve and through
the valve spindle. A certain amount of play is allowed in the slots so that the
wedging action of the valve spindle may come into force.
The said key projects laterally and taking into guides or grooves in the casing
guides the sliding valve and prevents the turning of the valve spindle.
A nut with hand wheel or lever for rotating the same is provided on the
valve spindle.
Dated this 14th day of December 1894.

page_text: A transverse key or bar e passes through the overlapping parts of the valve and
also through the valve spindle. A slight amount of play of the bar is allowed in
the slots so that the wedging action of the valve spindle may come into force.
We prefer to so construct the casing a as that the ends of the key e engage with
guides or grooves fin the casing a thus guiding the valve as it slides and at the 5
same time preventing the turning of the valve spindle. Other modes of guiding
the valve may however be used.
A nut g and hand wheel h for rotating the same as usual in valves is employed
for raising and lowering the spindle and forms no part of our said invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The combination of a valve constructed in separate overlapping halves a
valve spindle having a conical or wedge shaped termination lying between the two
halves of the valve and a transverse bar or key connecting the valve and spindle
substantially as set forth and shown.
