An Improvement in Caps.
I, HENRY FREDERICK FREUTEL of 133 and 135 Kingsland Road in the
County of Middlesex, Tweed Hat and Cap 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 improvement in soft caps made of tweed and other
similar materials such as are worn by travellers, bicyclists and others, and it has
for its object to ensure efficient ventilation of the head of the wearer whilst
preserving the form of the cap when in use, and admitting of the cap being folded
and packed or carried in the pocket without detriment to its shape or ventilating
qualities.
Heretofore such caps have been lined with a cotton or silk fabric which by
reason of its closeness of texture does not permit of adequate ventilation and is
consequently liable to be quickly saturated with perspiration and which by its
softness or pliability does not afford sufficient support for the outer tweed covering
of the cap to keep it in shape.
The object of my invention is to remedy both these defects and it consists in the
combination with a cap of tweed or other loosely woven woollen material, of a
lining of horse hair cloth, or of cotton netting suitably stiffened. Preference is
given to horse hair cloth by reason of its superior durability and non-liability to be
injured by perspiration.
The lining material of whichever kind affords by reason of its open character
abundant opportunity for free ventilation through its interstices and those of the
outer woollen covering material. In either case the lining material would be cut
out and seamed and united to the covering material in the ordinary way of making
caps, a sweat band of flannel silk or cotton being applied around the inside of the
rim of the cap in the usual way.
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.
In a soft tweed or other similar cap, the combination with the outer woollen
covering material of a lining of horse hair cloth or cotton netting, substantially as
and for the purpose specified.

statement:-
Our said invention has for its object to facilitate the smelting of ores, oxides or
compounds of iron.
In carrying out our invention we mix the ore, which may be oxide or other
compound of iron with coal intended for coking.
We may use various proportions but we find in practice that a good proportion
is one part by weight of the ore to three parts by weight of small, ground or
crushed coal.
When the ore is not in pulverulent form we grind or pulverize it; this may be
done by feeding it along with the coal into the grinding or disintegrating apparatus
employed for the coal, thus thoroughly mixing the materials.
We then proceed to treat the mixture by any well known method employed for
coking coal. The resulting material we charge into a smelting furnace or cupola,
either alone or with the fluxing or other materials ordinarily supplied to such a
furnace. In order to avoid the trouble of adding fluxing materials separately they
may be mixed up with the coal and ore before coking.
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:
The herein-described method of preparing ores, oxides and compounds of iron

Automatic Controlling Gear for Steam or Hydraulic Steering Engines,
Hoists, or other Machinery where applicable.
ALEXANDER MCDERMOTT 10 Derwent Street, Benwell, Newcastle on Tyne
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 an improved method of working and controlling the
reversing valves (or gear) of steam or hydraulic steering engines etc. by means of
straight or circular inclined planes and rollers. The rollers may be attached to a
shaft which is actuated by the man at the controlling wheel, and the inclined
planes to the shaft or wheel actuated by the engine or machine, or vice versa.
In either arrangement the part actuated by the engine or machine is attached
directly or indirectly to the reversing valve or gear.
The action of the rollers against the inclined planes when the controlling wheel
is turned, opens the valve or reverses the gear, and the engine receives steam or
water to turn it in the required direction, and it continues turning in that direction
so long as the controlling wheel is so turned, but when the controlling wheel is
stopped the action of the rollers against the inclined planes (by the continued
motion of the engine) closes the valve or reverses the gear & stops the engine.
In order to make the invention to be fully understood I will now proceed to
explain it by the accompanying drawings.
Sheet 1 shows the rollers A A¹ fixed to the part C actuated by the engine, & the
inclined planes B B₁ fixed to the shaft C turned by hand from the controlling
wheel.
It will readily be seen that if the shaft C¹ carrying the inclined planes be turned
in either direction the part G will be pushed in a corresponding direction & through
the bell crank E open the reversing valve.
When the man at the controlling wheel ceases turning, the engine continues to
turn until it brings the inclined planes back to the central position, when the
reversing valve is closed & the engine stopped.
Sheet 2 shows the invention attached directly to an ordinary steering engine.
The rollers A A' are attached to the hand controlling shaft C & the inclined planes
are on casting B which is turned by the engine & is directly attached to the
reversing valve rod at E & the movement is similar to that already described in
connection with Sheet 1.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
The use of inclined planes & rollers, to obtain a motion which will control the
reversing valve or gear of steering engines or other machinery.

Improvements in Materials for Repairing Rubber Goods.
We, WILLIAM GUEST and HERBERT GUEST both of Neptune Works,
Watery Lane, Sheffield, in the County of York, Manufacturers 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 refers more particularly to a rubber faced fabric for the repairing
of cuts, punctures, or other fractures of the pneumatic tyres of bicycles or
tricycles, which being usually made of vulcanised rubber are very difficult to repair
effectively. The material may also be used with advantage to repair or join
together other rubber goods or materials.
The object is to provide a material to be produced in sheets, leaves, or strips,
from which pieces can be cut of the required size, and that will, with the use of
a rubber solution or other equivalent solvent, or medium, adhere firmly to the
surface of a vulcanised rubber tyre, or to other like surfaces, and will be sufficiently
strong in the case of a damaged pneumatic tyre, to resist the pressure of the
enclosed air when the cycle is in use or otherwise.
To accomplish this desirable object, we coat one side of a fabric, skin, or piece
of vulcanised rubber, with a facing of pure unvulcanised rubber, which is caused
to adhere firmly thereto by the interposition of rubber solution or other effective
medium, and by the process of rolling the two materials together, but always so as
to leave a thin equal face of rubber.
The rubber is to produce a perfect and permanent adherence of the repairing
material;
and the backing is to give the required strength.
We are aware that at the present time, an adhesive rubber solution is spread
(at the time of using) upon material used in repairing rubber goods, and we there-
fore make no claim to the application of rubber in such form to fabric, or the like,
our invention going further, viz. in the production of a sheet of material having a
permanent facing of pure rubber for the purposes hereinbefore specified.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed or carried into effect, we
declare that what we claim is :-
1-An improved material (for use in repairing vulcanised rubber goods, and
other goods,) consisting of a fabric backing with a firmly adherent face of pure
unvulcanised rubber.
2-An improved material, (for repairing or joining vulcanised rubber goods,
and the like,) consisting of a backing of skin, leather, or vulcanised rubber, with a
firmly adherent face of pure un vulcanised rubber.

Improvements in or in connection with Bearings for Shafting.
I, WILFRID L. SPENCE of The Elms, Seymour Grove, Manchester, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improved bearing consists of a new combination of parts the function of
which is to, automatically carry a stream of oil over the rotating shaft, to collect
this oil, to filter it and to return it to a well whence it is again carried thro' the
bearings, and so on.
Figures 1 to 4 show my improved combination: A ring, band, or chain, C, passes
over the shaft and dips into the well contained in the pedestal casting. The oil,
carried up by the chain, C, passes through the bearing to the oil cups at the ends,
where it is collected and returned to the filters, F, from which it drops into the
well W.
