I, AUGUST EVENS, of 40, Mouchebergerstrasse, Cassell, in the Grand Duchy
of Hesse, in the Empire of Germany, Apothecary, 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 surgical syringe which consists essentially
of a cylinder, the ends of which are closed by suitable caps which are ground on
to them so as to make air tight joints, the said caps being held in position on the
cylinder by means of metallic connecting strips.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates this invention :-
:―
Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal section of the syringe, and Figures 2 and 3
are side views thereon.
Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
Referring to the drawings A designates the cylinder which is made of glass
or other suitable material, and B and C the two caps which are ground on to
the ends of the cylinder to make the joints air tight. The piston and piston
rod are of the usual type. The caps B and C are held in position on the ends of
the cylinder A by means of metallic strips such as E having eyes or holes
whereby they are adapted to be sprung on to the small pins or their equivalents
formed or mounted on the said caps.
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 improved surgical syringe constructed arranged and adapted to operate,
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
(2.) A surgical syringe, consisting essentially of a cylinder A the ends of
which are closed by two caps B and C having ground joints, the said caps being

Improvements in Chucks and Dogs for Lathes and other Machine
Tools.
I JOHN HENRY STOREY of 46 Hatfield Street Blackfriars London Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in attaching the dog to the face of the chuck by means of
a much stouter bolt or pin than is usually employed.
This stouter pin is substituted for the ordinary attaching bolt and has a square
base which slides in the slot of the chuck, the upper part being a round prolongation
of the base, of the same, or nearly the same diameter as the base. This pin may
have a screw on top to attach it to the dog, or may have a "cheese" head admitted
from the side by a suitable slot. The dog turns on this pin when not screwed down
tight to the chuck by the nut at back.
A recess or groove parallel to and rather larger than the slot is formed in the
face of the chuck, and the dog slides in this recess, which helps to keep it in place.
The dog can be turned either way to serve for inside or outside work.

page_text: The lower part f2, of the bolt f, carries the usual nut f³.
This nut, when loosened permits the dog b, to be lifted above the groove c,
and reversed on the face plate a.
c, c, are grooves recessed in the plate a, parallel with the slot h, h, and are of the
same width as the dogs b, b. They prevent the dogs b, b, from turning when locked
in position.
It will be observed from the foregoing that my improved chuck and dogs are
distinguished by the following improvements.
1. The face of the chuck is recessed, parallel with the usual slots h, h, with a
groove or channel in which the dogs slide. This takes the strain of the square
boss e, and prevents the dogs from turning when locked in position.
2. The special vertical bolt f, which has a square boss e, fitted to travel on the
horizontal screw d, which boss is continued upwards into the dog as a round pin e¹,
of considerable diameter, so as to ensure great strength where the strain is greatest,
namely at the point of junction between the dog and face of the chuck.
3. The making the dog reversible on the vertical bolt f, so as to render it
applicable for inside or outside work.
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. In a chuck for a lathe or other machine tool the recessed grooves c above and
parallel to the slots h, h, in combination with the dog b, distinguished by the special
bolt with parts e and e¹, as herein described and set forth.
2. In chuck for a lathe or other machine tool the reversible dog or jaw b, with
its special bolt f, as herein described and set forth.

1, HERMANN KÖHLER of 5 Neue Schweidnitzerstrasse, Breslau, Prussia,
Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
Bamo is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
This invention relates to improvements in and relating to brake blocks and my
invention consists in the improved construction of brake blocks as will be horeinafter
described.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective front view, Fig. 2 is a
sectional plan view and Fig. 3 is a roar elovation of my invention.
In carrying out my invention I employ a series of leather sheets or discs a which
are fastened together by means of wooden pegs b so na to form the brake block.
Said blook is next fastened by means of a dovetailed wedge e to the shoe o. Said
wedge e may be made of wood or of sheets of leathor which latter form is shown in
the drawings.
The sheets a referred to may be of any kind of leather and all of said sheets may
be of one kind of leather or my improved brake block may consist of sheets of
various kinds of leather as desired and I prefer to impregnate said sheets with any
suitable oil or grease so as to render said sheets, and consequently the block, flexible
or pliant. The shoe c may be fastened in any suitable manner, such as for
examplo by means of rivets, to a lover d which in turn is connected in any suitable
manner to any known brake mechanism. If desired I may insert a packing g of
wood or other comparatively hard material between the dovetailed sheet and the
back of the shoe, or said packing may consist of one or more sheets or strips of
leather.
My improved brake block constructed substantially as above described has the
advantage that when it is pressed in the usual manner against the rim of a wheel
there is not the unpleasant noise made which is the case in the use of wooden or
metal brake blocks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inveu-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A brake block, consisting of a series of sheets of leather fastened together in
any suitable manner substantially as set forth.
2. A brake blook such as referred to in Claim 1, in which sbects of various kinds
of leather are employed.
3. A brake block, such as referred to in Claims 1 and 2, having its rear part
formed as a dovetailed wedge substantially as described.

We, ALBERT GRESSLY-MÜLLER, of Berne, and BERTHA HUBER née GRESSLY,
of Laufenburg (Aargan) both in the Republic of Switzerland, 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 present invention relates to a boot or shoe upper the composing parts of
which, the trunk, heel and foot upper parts, consist of cordage, thus constituting an
upper that on account of its elasticity will easily accommodate itself to the shape of
the ankle and foot without causing inconvenience to the wearer, and, at the same
time provide good ventilation without being sufficiently permeable for the wearer
to be molested by dust, rain, etc.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, the trunk tube which, at its lower end
is bordered by the line or lines a, b, c joining the rest of the upper, is knitted in such
a manner that it permits of being stretched sideways or horizontally, whereas it is
unelastic in a vertical sense, whereby close fitting is obtained. In order to render
the upper edge or border of the tube more solid, it is rolled up so as to form a band
or border. The heel and foot part are prepared so as to have almost the same
elasticity in all directions, so that these parts of the shoe will readily adjust
themselves to the shape of the foot without exerting an injurious pressure on the
latter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is,
1. A boot or shoe upper, the composing parts of which, trunk, tube, heel and
upper foot part, consist of knitted cordage or like material.
2. A boot or shoe trunk as described, the parts of which are made in such manner
that the trunk tube can only be stretched in a horizontal direction while the heel
and upper foot part have almost equal elasticity in all directions.
3. A boot or shoe upper as described, the upper border of the trunk of which is
rolled up so as to form a border.

An Improved Method of Increasing the Lighting Power of
Petroleum.
I, NICOLAUS BARON of 59 Lindengasse, Budapesth, in the Kingdom of
Hungary, 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 method of increasing the lighting power of
petroleum. Such lighting power can be considerably augmented by adding
paraffin to the petroleum but a difficulty arises in the practical use of this means
for improving bad kinds of petroleum owing to the fact that paraffin at the same
time materially shortens the burning-time of the petroleum gasified or vaporised
with it thus increasing the consumption of petroleum in a unit of time.
Now I have found that this defect in the use of paraffin for increasing the
lighting power of petroleum may be remedied by adding spermaceti to the
paraffin.
Even small quantities of spermaceti cause the burning-time of the petroleum and
paraffin to be lengthened for instance to that of rich petroleum; by adding
a larger quantity of spermaceti the burning-time of the petroleum and paraffin may
even be lengthened beyond that of pure petroleum.
In carrying my aforesaid method into practice I may advantageously use for two
parts of the purest hard white paraffin one part of solid and hard spermaceti.
It is sufficient to employ 0.3 grammes of the pulverized or molten mixture for a
lamp holding half a litre of oil.
The effect thus produced lasts for four days or thereabouts during which time
pure petroleum may always be poured on.
If the petroleum is of a yellowish colour a soft yellow precipitate will be formed
which however is uninjurious to the flame and has only to be removed from the
lamp from time to time. Moreover the disagreeable smell of certain kinds
of petroleum is caused to disappear by the addition of a mixture of paraffin and
spermaceti.
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 herein-described method of increasing the lighting power of petroleum
by means of paraffin mixed with spermaceti and used in the manner and for
the purposes herein before set forth.
2. The use and application in petroleum of a mixture of paraffin and spermaceti
substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described.

Carbonates of Alkaline Earths.

Carbonates of Alkaline Earths.
. I SAMUEL SIDNEY BROMHEAD, Patent Agent of 97 Newgate Street, London,
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 osmotic diaphragms heretofore known for the electrolysis of solutions of
salt have not been particularly satisfactory and numerous endeavours have
consequently been made to find a material which fulfils all requirements in
practice.
This has led the applicant to employ carbonates of the alkaline earths. The
diaphragms made of the same can be obtained both in naturally occurring and in.
artificially produced compositions, although those consisting of the former material
are preferable.
They are produced for instance of limestone blocks by mechanical treatment in
any desired form, such as in the form of plates, tubes, pots, boxes and the like, in
accordance with the appropriate electrolytic apparatus.
Attempts to produce the diaphragms from a moistened mixture of pulverized
limestone and calcined magnesia under pressure have likewise given useful results
and a sufficiently strong diaphragm.
Diaphragms of limestone have been found to be particularly suitable for the
electrolysis of alkaline chlorides. As the well known action of chlorine upon
carbonate of lime relates only to carbonate of lime in a finely ground state or
levigated under water, whilst solid pieces of limestone are not visibly attacked;
the destruction of the diaphragm will therefore be obviated for a sufficiently long
period.
It may be assumed that besides carbonate of lime all the other carbonates of the
alkaline earths occurring naturally or produced artificially will likewise give
serviceable diaphragms.
Numerous trials have shown that diaphragms made of carbonates of the alkaline
earths effectively fulfil the object of separating the ions while offering a small
resistance to the conduction of the current and displaying practical indifference
towards the products of the electrolysis so that these diaphragms are far superior
to the other known diaphragms and the time during which they may be used is
practically unlimited as their use for six months in continuous work and with
dimensions corresponding to working on a large scale has not given any cause for
dissatisfaction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said

page_text: invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The formation of diaphragms or partitions for electrolytic purposes of any
.required shape, from carbonates of the alkaline earths, as herein described and set
.forth.

Improvements in Caps and like Head Coverings.
I, FREDERIC DAUNT TROWER of Alexandra Terrace, West Cross, Swansea,
Glamorganshire, 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:-
This invention relates to an improved cap, especially intended for use by skaters
and other persons who are liable to injure their heads by falling or otherwise, and
bas for its object to provide a covering which will protect the head effectively in
case of accident.
In carrying out my invention I propose to make the cap with a lining of rubber
or other flexible material which is impervious to air. This lining forms a bag,
and a tube which may, if desired, be provided with a small air valve, is furnished,
permitting the bag to be inflated to the desired degree. This bag forms a resilient
air cushion, so that should the skater or other person fall on the back of the head,
as frequently occurs, the cushion will take the blow and prevent injury.
The inflating tube or valve is preferably fitted at the side and may be covered by
a piece of the same material as the cap, so as to render it as unnoticeable as possible.
When used by ladies, the tube may be.led from the inside of the cap, and covered
with the trimming.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a cross section of a cap
constructed according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.
A is the ordinary covering of the cap made in any suitable shape or design.
Inside it is fitted a rubber or other bag or lining B, adapted to contain air at a slight
pressure and when inflated to fit properly on the head of the wearer. This is
inflated through the small tube b, at one side, which can be partially or completely
concealed by the material of the cap.
When the cap is deflated it can be folded up in a small compass and placed in the
pocket, so that it may be easily carried about ready for use when required.
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 cap or like head covering for use by skaters and others as a protection
from injury, made with a bag or lining adapted for inflation, substantially as set
forth.
(2) The improved cap or like head covering constructed substantially as
described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and for the purposes specified.

page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Pan Tiles.
I HENRY GRIMBLEBY of Barrow Haven in the County of Lincoln Brickmaker
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
By my invention pan tiles can be manufactured throughout the process with
their faces uppermost thus avoiding the usual defective marks on the faces of their
fillets and wings and the face of each tile can be washed in the course of
manufacture. The process of manufacture is that through a die of the required
shape affixed to any suitable machine clay is expressed and then travels on a
shaped receiver covered with fustian or other suitable material for conducting
moisture and channeled to permit the distribution of water or other liquid. The
receiver forms a block on which the shape is maintained the tile cut to form and the
face of the tile may be washed or planed and the knob formed. The block or
receiver is grooved for the insertion of the tines of a carrying fork to remove the
manufactured tile.
In the drying shed I have similar shaped receiving cradles for the tile to dry on.
From these cradles the tiles when dry are taken into the kiln.

GEORGE HENRY DENTON No. 10 Stanley Street North Shields County of
Northumberland, Foreman Galvanizing Works do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be perforined, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, and in order that the
same may be inore clearly understood I herewith append one sheet of drawings:-
My invention has for its object to provide a simple class of iron fence
or hurdle Fig. 1 each length is hung or hinged by its projecting rail end A
to the standards or posts B by the end bars F which act as a pivot. The standards
or posts are provided with brackets or wings C which may be two as shown C' or
four as C so that from this standard or post four lines of fencing may be run the
upright end bars F in each end are removable, they resting upon shoulders as
shewn, it will be readily understood that if one end bar is lifted out the length of
fencing or hurdle becomes a gate being hung at the other end, the bar F acting as
n pivot. This affords great facility of use as this opening may be made iu nny
length desired Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of standard or post B brackets or wings
& end pivot bar F.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what

ARTHUR STEPHENS 1 Manor Court Road, Hanwell, W. and 14 Grafton
Street, W. Architect and 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 :-
A regulating metal disc or shield (Fig. 1. a) adjustable by means of a pivot
screw (b) into a metal perforated disc (c) which drops into and fits by means of
the projections (d) a flue or pipe (E) which communicates with the outside air.
The head or shield (a) is placed partly under or immediately in front of the fire,
the perforated disc (c) being just above the level of the hearth. The metal
head (a) becoming heated induces a current of air from outside through the flue
and supplies the full demands of the fire, thus preventing an undue depletion of the
warm air of a room by way of the chimney flue and preventing the draught
occasioned by the action of the fire drawing its supply of cold air from the windows
and doors or from any ventilating shafts placed at a distance from it. The
perpendicular part (E) of the elbow of the flue is affixed to the horizontal part (F)
which latter is so made as not to exceed in depth two and a half inches (though
not necessarily this exact measurement), enabling it to be easily and safely applied
to any room (see Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7).
The open air end of the flue (Fig. 3. a) is covered by a thin wire mesh.
The current of outside air induced by the heated metal head (Fig. 1, a) supplies
the fuel in use with a greater percentage of oxygen per volume than the fire could
other wise draw from the room (the air by way of the door brings only the air of
the house which is more or less vitiated), with the result that more perfect and
freer combustion of the fuel, (whether ordinary coal or anthracite and other hard
fuel), takes place. In addition to supplying the necessary air to the fire it supplies
a sufficient quantity of fresh warm air into the room.
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 1
claim is:
Protection for an appliance which conveys the outside air direct to a fire and
constructed and placed as follows. An elbow attached to a flue of a depth of two
and a half inches, but may be more or less, the upper part of the elbow is four
inches by four inches, but may be more or less, and is fitted with a metal perforated
disc on which by means of a pivot screw a metal disc or shield is attached.
elbow is placed partly under or immediately in front of the grate, the perforated
disc being raized above the level of the hearth so that the heat from the fire may
play upon the upper disc or shield.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Wheatmeal.
I, RUPERT LEWIS CLARKE, of The Fobury, Reading, Berkshire, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wheatmeal and
which is particularly intended for use in combination with the malted wheatmeal
prepared as described in the Specification of my former Letters Patent No. 20798
A.D. 1895, the whole being intended for the manufacture of bread, biscuits and
other foods.
In carrying my invention into practical effect the wheat after careful cleaning is
ground into meal so as to produce about the following proportions, flour 68
to 72 per cent., middlings 15 to 17 per cent., pollard and bran 16 to 20 per cent.
The pollard and bran should be eliminated from the meal and dried in any suitable
manner but preferably through a revolving steam drier; the steam entering the
drier may be of 40 to 60 lbs. boiler pressure.
The high dried bran is then re-ground by any suitable machinery.
If the meal is ground by roller process where the "germ" of the wheat is taken
out, then the said germs must be dried and ground with the bran.
The object in drying and re-grinding the bran is to partially arrest the action
of the cerealin and render the bran more digestible; which is borne out by
artificial digestion.
The dried re-ground bran after being mixed with the middlings and flour is
mixed with the malted wheatmeal preferably prepared as described in the Specification
of my former Letters Patent No. 20798 A.D. 1895, in or about the following
proportions: 8 parts of the specially prepared malted wheatmeal hereinbefore
referred to, with 92 parts of the uninalted meal, prepared as herein described,
both by weight, or 457 bushels of unmalted wheat and 43 bushels of the malted
wheat can be mixed prior to grinding.
If the latter process be adopted the bran from the meal must be eliminated,
dried and re-ground as before described.
This combination of meals is suitable for use in the manufacture of bread,
biscuits, and other foods; the said meal being easily assimable, nutritious, and
more digestible than ordinary wheatmeal.
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 improved process for the manufacture of meal for use in combination
with a malted wheat meal, substantially as herein described and for the purposes
specified.

Improvements in Roof-covering.

Improvements in Roof-covering.
I, PAUL KUHN, Workmaster of Mauer near Heidelberg in the Grand Duchy
of Baden 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 :-
It is well known, that the use of wooden shingles, as is hitherto the case in the
covering of roofs with tiles, connected with many disadvantages. If, for instance,
a gale of wind shakes the tiled roofs, a number of shingles lying loose under the-
joints between each pair of tiles are lost by falling out or being swept away, so
that the roof in consequence is no longer water-tight and the rain penetrates
between the tiles into the house. In case of a fire the wooden shingles are a source
of great danger to the neighbourhood, as the burning shingles are scattered about
to a great distance thus being likely to cause a fresh fire in another spot.
In order to obviate all the disadvantages connected with wooden shingles, I have
constructed the shingles now to be described and illustrated by the drawing.
Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing represent in upper and side-view the shingle to
be described and the Figs. 3 and 4 show in upper view and in cross-section a part
of a roof covered in with such shingles.
The shingles d are made of sheet-metal, having the same length and breadth as
ordinary shingles, and are bent back at right angles on one of the two narrow
sides.
The edges of the two longitudinal sides are bent upwards in a direction opposite
to that of the bend just mentioned. On the roof being covered in the shingle d
is laid in such a manner on the batten that the bent back part, as will be seen
from Figs. 3 and 4, lies close on the batten, the shingle thus being hooked on fast
to the batten b.
In this position it is then secured by means of nails. The roof is then covered
in the same manner as was hitherto the custom, i.ẹ, that a shingle always lies under
the joint of two tiles c c.
The rain-water, which penetrates between the joints to the shingles cannot run
into the garret in consequence of the turned-up edges, but is carried by the
shingle on to the tile lying immediately beneath it, and from here on to the
gutter.
The new shingle has also the advantage of lasting for an unlimited length of
time.
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 :-
Roof shingles of sheet-metal, distinguished by the one narrow end being bent at
right-angles downwards and the edges of the longitudinal sides being bent
upwards.
