Improvements in Magic Lantern Slides and in Substitutes for
Stained Glass.
We, HENRY ERSKINE and CHARLES TAYLOR, both of 63 North Frederick
Street, Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North Britain, Engravers and Litho-
graphers, 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 magic lantern slides, and consists in
making the slide of mica. The mica is first treated with a solution of collodion
and ether, or purified isinglass, or fish glue, or silicate of soda, or transparent
varnish, or size or any of these solutions, or any combination of the same, or any
transparent solution giving a transparent surface on the mica, and the drawings,
designs, pictures, or words are printed thereon in black ink, or black ink and
transparent colours or any colours, by hand or machine, letter-press printing,
lithography, photography, photo-lithography, collotype, zincotype, photogravure,
or any other cognate manner of producing printing or transferring any drawing,
picture, or design, to be used as a magic lantern slide.
We might also substitute mica for stained glass purposes, in which case it is
treated, and the designs are painted or printed in a manner similar to the slides.
It is to be understood that the mica may be used without being first treated with
any of the solutions already described.
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. Making magic lantern slides of mica in the manner substantially as described.
2. Treating mica so that it can be used as a substitute for stained glass
substantially as described.

An Improvement in or applicable to Wire Door-mats.
We JOHN BARNOUIN ROWCLIFFE and FRED ROWCLIFFE of Levenshulme
near Manchester in the County of Lancaster 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 :—
The object of this invention is to increase the efficiency of wire door-mats in
removing mud or dirt from boots or shoes.
My invention consists in the combination with such door mats of a raised edge or
strip (or more than one such edge or strip may be employed) suitably attached or
fixed thereto in such a manner that the said edge. or strip can be used as a scraper
when required, in addition to the projecting curves or other parts of the wire of
which the mat is made, and thus the boot or shoc can be more readily cleaned.
Our invention will be readily nuderstood on reference to the accompanying
drawings, and from the following description thereof.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a combined door mat and scraper made according to our
invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 are partial views drawn to a larger scale shewing how the scraper
and doormat may be attached together.
Fig. 4 is an underneath plan of the scraper detached, drawn to the same scale as
Figs. 2 and 3.
It will be seen from Fig. 1 that we prefer to arrange the scraper a at one corner
of the mat but we do not confine ourselves to such arrangement, as the said
scraper may be attached to or formed on one side or end of the mat.
The scraper a may be of cast metal, as shewn, or it may be a length of plain
angle iron or other suitable material with holes a' in the base, see Fig. 4, and we
prefer to groove or otherwise roughen the undersurface of the said base as seen on
Fig. 4 so that when pressed down onto the rings of the wire mat & the scraper a
will not be liable to slip out of place.
The scraper a is fixed to the mat by bolts c (or by rivets) passing through the
holes al and provided with nuts the bolts being by preference suitably shaped to
clip the framing of the mat, as shewn at Figs. 2 and 3, and we prefer to form a
lug or projection d at each end of the scraper, on the underside thereof to assist in
adjusting and retaining the said scraper in its place upon the mat.
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 :-
The combination with a wire door-mat of a projecting edge or edges (of suitable
material and height to be used as a scraper) substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements relating to the Dyeing or Printing of Woollen and
other Goods.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 process for producing steam aniline black on wool
as described in a former application No. 17,082 of 1891 and comprises the appli-
cation of the said process to hair and other animal fibres or mixed goods containing
such substances, and the simultaneous production of discharging colours on such
substances and on wool with a ground of steam aniline black which does not become
green.
According to this invention it is also possible to discharge or remove the aniline
black from wool, hair and the like in a manner similar to that used in calico
printing on the Prudhomme system, and to combine this discharge (enlevage) with
the fixation of a greater variety of colours than it is possible to do on cotton.
Most of the artificial dyes and the substantive natural dye stuffs are suitable
as discharging colours for pure wool and half wool and silk mixed, but those
requiring mordants are less suitable. For mixed goods containing vegetable fibres
I use basic dyes and the dyes of the Congo group alone, or combined with acid
dye stuffs.
By reversing the series of operations the discharge serves as reserve.

page_text: Having now particularly described' and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion 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:-
The application of the process described in the former application No. 17,082 of
1891 for the production of steam aniline black, not only on wool, but also on hair
and other animal fibres or mixed goods containing such substances, and the simul-
taneous production of discharging colours on wool and on the other fibres above
mentioned with a ground of steam aniline black which does not turn green.

We OTTO NICOLAI of Wiesbaden in the German Empire, Dentist, and CARL
LANGENBACH, of Frankfort-on-the-Main in the German Empire, Public Official,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to te performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention relates to a solder for soldering aluminium. The solders hitherto
used for this purpose have been in the form of alloys of different metals as dis-
tinguished from which the solder of this invention is formed by chemical
combination. For soldering aluminium. we preferably use chloride or sub chloride
of silver, or bromide of silver or iodide of silver, that is to say, any combination of
silver with the halogens. The use of these salts as a solder is carried out by
strewing the same in the form of powder on the part to be soldered or parts to be
joined together, or by applying it in the moist state by means of a brush dipped in
spirits of wine. The soldering operation is completed by the application of heat, as
by means of a soldering lampor blow pipe.
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:-
A solder for soldering aluminium consisting of a silver salt formed of silver in
combination with one of the halogens.

Improved Art or Process for Coloring Pictures on Textile Fabrios.
I, ALOIS OPHOVEN, Photographer, of Paderborn, Photographer, care of Konsul
Schultz, Schoeneberg, Berlin, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
From the reverse or rear side of a picture or drawing, obtained by chemical
(photography for instance) or by mechanical means on textile fabrics, Pastell or
other colors are rubbed into the proper places, corresponding to the various designs
on the face of the picture.
I am aware that oil, water or dry colors have been used on the face of pictures,
and on transparent material even on the reverse of them, but never in all previous
processes, so far as I am aware, have the colors been rubbed to atoms on the
protruding grain of the web, and made to penetrate bodily into the textile fabrics.
While the colors are being rubbed against the protruding threads of the web, the
finest atoms penetrate into the tissue, whereas the coarser particles, remaining more
on the outside, are transparent and produce a most pleasing effect.
The effect of the picture is considerably heightened by putting it on a white
background or base.
With this process the Pastell colors, almost unfading, but extremely sensitive to
the touch lie thoroughly protected in the texture.
By other colors similar results are obtained.
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 herein described means or process of coloring pictures obtained through
mechanical or chemical means on silk or other textile fabrics, by rubbing Pastell or
other colors against their reverse side, substantially as herein set forth.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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 electric pushes.
In Figure 1 is represented the arrangement heretofore generally employed, in
which the push button 1 is adapted to move in the bush 2.
Now it is easy to insert an article between the bush and button when the latter
is pressed down, so that the electric bell will ring continually.
This is frequently done at night out of mischief, for which reason electric house
bells in streets are not extensively used.
Moreover, the push button is liable to be injured, and this arrangement gives
rise to frequent inconveniences.
This is, obviated by the invention hereinafter described.
Upon the push button 1 is fixed a metallic cap 3 to render it impossible to insert
an article between the button 1 and the bush 2. The rim 4 of this cap extends
over the bush 2 so that the joint between the push button 1 and the bush 2 will
not be accessible.
To prevent a specially bent instrument being inserted from the rear the pro-
tecting cup 5 may be provided.
In the arrangement represented in Figure 2 the push button and cap are shown
in a state of rest, and in Figure 3 they are pressed down, whilst Figure 4 shows
the push button and cap to a larger scale.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion 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 :-
First. In electric pushes, the arrangement, on the push-button 1, of a protecting
cap 3 having a rim 4 extending over the bush 2, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
Second. In electric pushes of the kind described in the first claim the arrange-
ment of the protecting cup 5 substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

the upper receptacle. The upper chamber B is funnel shaped internally fitting
closely on to the top of the lower chamber A. The chambers A and B are made
of earthenware or other suitable material. The funnel shaped chamber B serves
to guide anything passed into it to the receptacle or receiver A. The upper surface
or rim of the upper chamber B is fitted with bevelled earthenware or polished
wood to form a seat.
The cover or lid C contains a supply chamber D, a distributing chamber E
having its hottom perforated and shaped as shown so as to evenly distribute any
liquid passed into it and connected to the supply chamber by a valve F which can
be operated by means of a knob G. The supply chamber is filled with a dis-
infecting fluid through the orifice closed by the screw plug H. The closet can be
arranged to form a seat when not in use.
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. A portable closet consisting of a lower receiver of a funnel shaped vessel fitting
thereon and serving to guide solids or liquids passed therein to the receiver and of
a cover, the whole substantially as described.
2. An improved portable closet arranged and constructed substantially as

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION:
Improvements in Hair Pins.
I, JAMES BOWEN 20 New Road Skewen near Neath Glamorgan Fitter 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 form of hair-pin, and has for its object to
provide a pin which can be fastened more securely in the hair and will not be liable
to fall out.
The pin is formed in two parts, one of which is placed within the other, the outer
pin being made of fine channel shaped wire, and the inner one of ordinary wire.
The first is in the form of an ordinary hair pin with two straight legs, and the
second of slightly less length, with legs bent outwards at the middle so that the
width at the ends is less than at the centre. The upper end of the latter pin is
placed in the channel at the top of the former, and fixed therein by solder or other-
wise, the projecting legs lying at their widest part in the channels at the sides, and
being of greater width than the outer pin they spring outwards and press against
the sides. When this double pin is inserted in the hair, the latter will be caught
between the two parts so that the pin will be secured thoroughly while little
difficulty will be found in taking it out by hand. In order that the invention may
be more clearly understood, reference is had to the accompanying sheet of illustrative
drawings, in which
Figs. 1 & 2. are elevations at right angles to each other of the complete pin.
Fig. 3. is a cross section on the line x,y, Fig. 1, to an enlarged scale, and
Fig. 4. is an elevation of the inner pin.
A is the outer pin formed of channel shaped wire, approximately of the ordinary
shape of hair pins, having fixed within it the second pin B of ordinary wire,
soldered at its upper end only in the groove of the pin A.
The legs of the second pin are bent outwards at B¹, so that they spring outwards
against the legs of the pin A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A hair pin constructed in two parts one within the other, the outer one A
being formed of channelled wire within which the inner one B is fixed at the top,
the latter having legs bent outwards and springing against the legs of the former,
for the purposes specified.
2. The improved hair pin, formed in two parts for the purpose of retaining it
more securely in the hair, substantially as described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings.

Improvements in Cricket Bat Handles.
I, CHARLES ROSE Junr. Manager of Cricket Works 20 Birtwistle Street
Accrington Lanc. 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 increase the spring of bat handles and to reduce
the cost of production.
Bat handles made according to my invention are made of natural canes or round
or convex pieces of cane cemented together in a bedding of india rubber or any
suitable material.
The said canes are toothed or grooved to render the surfaces more suitable for
glueing or cementing together.
In making this handle I prefer to use seven round canes of equal size and a
bedding of india rubber or other elastic material, but the canes may vary in
number and in size, and any suitable substance or materials may be used as a
bedding for the canes or to fasten them together.
By making handles of natural or round canes a powerful spring is obtained and a
great saving of cane is effected.
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. A bat handle made essentially of round canes bedded in rubber substantially
as hereinbefore described.
2. A bat handle consisting of natural canes toothed and fastened together by any
suitable means substantially as hereinbefore described.
3. A bat handle made of convex pieces of cane placed convex to each other
substantially as hereinbefore described.

Further Improvements in the Heating of Feed Water or Supply
Water for Steam Boilers.
ADAM MILLER Consulting Engineer 11 Queen Victoria Street London
Middlesex England 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 chiefly to further improvements on the apparatus for the
heating of feed water for steam boilers, described in the Specification of former
Letters Patent granted to me, viz. No. 7530 1891.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood, I shall proceed to
describe the same by reference to the drawings on Sheets Nos. 1 & 2.
Sheet No. 1 represents a tubular boiler with two coils of internal feed heating
pipes.
Sheet No. 2 represents a similar boiler with one coil of feed heating pipes.
Fig. 1 shews an elevation of the feed pipes in position in a boiler.
Fig. 2 shews a plan of the feed pipes in position in a boiler.
Fig. 3 shews a section of the pipes B with inlet tube or small holes perforating
the upper sides of pipes B.
Fig. 4 shews an elevation of the feed pipes in position in a boiler.
Fig. 5 shews a plan of the feed pipes having only one coil.
Fig. 6 shews section of the pipes B with an inlet tube or small holes perforating
the upper side of pipes B.
The feed or supply water for a steam boiler is forced in the ordinary way through
pipes to the check or entrance valve into a boiler it is then discharged into the
pipe A and passes onward to pipes B and is finally discharged into the water in the
boiler by the pipes C, the joining of the pipes B with A. the opening is contracted
so as to regulate the supply to pipes B.
The internal pipes A B C are made sufficiently large in capacity so as to
contain feed water and a large quantity of steam at the same time or continuously
while at work.
The steam enters the pipes A B by the means of the small inlet pipes or tubes E
or the small holes E as well as by the pipes C.
Thus the feed water on its discharge or entrance into the pipe A is actually into
a boiler, as the feed water accumulates in the pipe A it passes onward to pipes B
and is discharged by pipes C.
The inlet tubes or small holes E are put into the upper sides of the pipes A. B.
in number and position as may be required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, I declare what I claim is-
1st. The improved arrangements of admitting steam by holes or small tubes put
into the upper side of the internal feed carrying pipes, to accelerate the heating of
the feed water as it is passed onwards towards the discharge pipes C.
2nd. The improved arrangement whereby the regulation of the quantity of feed
water is admitted to the pipes B. by the openings in the joinings of pipes B
with A. The pipes A B & C are made sufficiently large so as to contain feed
water and steam together at the same time.

Improvements in "Protectors" for Hat Curling and Setting Press
Bags.
I, ALBERT TURNER of Prospect House, Denton, near Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Hatters' Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of my said
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 consists of an improved "protector" for hat curling and setting
press bags for protecting the bag from contact with the hat brim and the matrice
which tend to cut and wear the material of which it is composed, the said
protector" being made of india-rubber and of such a section as it will of itself
follow the configuration of the bag.
66
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view of a hat curling press bag with my improved
"protector" shewn applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the "protector " alone.
A designates the ordinary bag of even thickness throughout, B my improved
"protector" secured in position by the nut C and the plate D. It will be noticed
that my improved "protector" is of uneven thickness being thick at the part
marked E and thin at the parts marked F and G.
This difference in thickness is the important feature of my invention as by so
constructing the "protector" a depression of the centre portion causes the thicker
surrounding portion to rise up and follow the configuration of the bag instead of
hanging down towards the edge as would be the case if the "protector
was made
of even thickness. Fig. 2 illustrates more clearly how the thicker portion E rises
up when the centre portion is depressed.
22
The outer edges H of the "protector" are by preference tapered off to cause
them to bed well against the plate of the matrice portion of the machine during the
curling or setting operation.
In this manner I produce a "protector" which effectually prevents injury being
done to the bag which when damaged may be removed and a fresh one substituted
at a slight cost.
Having thus 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.
1st. In hat curling and setting machines the use and employment of a "protector"
composed of india rubber or other suitable material of the section shewn and
described substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
