Waters from Chemical and other Manufactures.
I, ROBERT STANLEY 74 Mossley Road Ashton-under-Lyne Innkeeper, 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:―
For the purpose of my invention I reduce coal ashes to a fine powder by any
suitable grinding or pulverizing machinery or by sieving out the fine portion of
such ashes and reducing the remaining portion by either of the above processes to
a.fine powder.
I then mix a small quantity of water with the same in such proportion as may be
necessary to form either a paste or powder as may be considered the most
convenient with the addition of about half a ton of either sulphuric or hydrochloric
acid to each ton of the coal ashes, with the addition of any of the salts of magnesia
if required in the proportion of one to five cwt. per ton of the mixture.
The mixture is then dissolved in the sewerage or other polluted water; by
agitation or any suitable means and the water is in a short time, deodorized,
decolorized, clarified and purified.
I claim the use of coal ashes prepared and mixed with sulphuric or hydrochloric
acids for the purpose of purifying sewage or other polluted water.

An Improved Appliance for Economising Fuel in Fire-grates and
the like.
I, ISAAC POUNTAIN of 94 Uttoxeter New Road, Derby in the County of
Derby, Clerk, 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 an improved appliance for economising
fuel in fire-grates and the like which may be used at the sides or backs of the said
grates and will at the same time allow the heat generated by such fuel to be used
for heating the side or back boilers or ovens and in order that my said invention
may be the more readily understood I have caused to be annexed to this Specifica-
tion a sheet of drawings to the figures and letters of reference marked upon which
I will now refer.
Figure 1. is a perspective view of one of my improved appliances.
Figure 2. is a plan of same on line 'a' 'a.'
I cast, mould or otherwise form my improved appliance of iron or other suitable
material so as to fit up to the sides or back of the fire-grate and when used at the
sides (for which it is more particularly adapted) the back part A is preferably
made wider than the front B so as to throw the heat forward.
The appliance is hollow, the face C next to the fire having suitable slots or
orifices of any convenient shape or section such as at D and a flue arch E or arches
at the bottom thus leaving feet F, F' for it to stand upon.
As applied to the sides of the fire-grate there are flanges at the top, front and
back the latter may however be cut away as shewn by dotted line K on Figure 1.
and as will be seen upon referring to Figure 2. to allow the heat to pass out as also
may the top flange in any suitable manner such as at G, G. It will thus be seen
that the heat is admitted through the different openings or slots and bears directly
upon the boiler or oven H and passes out at the top and back, the fire being
diminished in size at will in a simple and effective manner without materially
decreasing the heat of the boiler or oven.
The front part of my improved device may be suitably cut away as at I so as
not to interfere with the working of the usual drop bar of kitchen fire-grates.
It is evident that I may vary the details of my invention for instance I may
have holes, slots or orifices as shewn at J Figure 1. and thus bring the flames back
over the fire and close the top and side openings, and they may also be varied in
any suitable manner for adapting it to the back of a fire-grate.
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 hollow appliance for economising fuel in fire-grates substantially
as described herein and illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Construction of Friction Clutch Pulley.
We WILLIAM MATHER of Salford Iron Works, Manchester iu the County of
Lancaster, and THOMAS THORP of 161 Great Clowes Street, Broughton, Man-
chester, aforesaid, Engineers, 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 a construction of friction clutch pulleys which we shall
describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view with half of the pulley removed and
Fig. 2 is a frout view.
On the shaft S is keyed or otherwise fixed a boss E, on which between collars
the pulley is fitted so that, when it is not clutched, it can freely revolve on the boss
as a loose pulley. The pulley is made in two equal and symmetrical halves.
Through the spokes of these halves passes what may be termed a fulcrum bolt A
at which place only the two faces of the spokes fit closely together, but these faces
are slightly rounded to allow a little rocking on them. Two other bolts B B pass
through the spokes, not clamping them tightly, but allowing a little freedom of
movement. On the shaft S is fitted a sliding grooved sleeve H which by means of
a fork lever engaging in its groove can be moved along the shaft. This sleeve is
connected by a link F to a lever arm D which is fixed on a spindle C, having a
right hand screw thread at its one end and a left hand thread at its other end.
These screwed ends pass through nuts K which have toothed peripheries engaged
by catches I, so that by disengaging the catches, the nuts can be turned more or
less round to give the required adjustment. When the pulley is to be made fast,
the sleeve H is moved causing the screwed spindle C to turn in its nuts K so as to
draw the spokes of the halves forcibly together, thereby causing the central part of
the pulley to become firmly clamped on the boss E, thus clutching it to the shaft S.
By moving the sleeve H in the opposite direction, the clamping is released, the
pulley being thus unclutched from the shaft S.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, what we claim is :-
A friction clutch pulley made in halves which are clamped on a boss by means
of a right and left screwed spindle turned in a pair of adjustable nuts by a lever
arm linked to a sliding sleeve, substantially as described.

WILLIAM ANDREWS BARRETT 180 Burdett Road London E. Glass Bottle
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:-
A bottle with a neck having two grooves round the outside with a corresponding
ridge in the inside these grooves and ridges are caused by cutters being in the neck
of the mould and the said grooves and ridges are blown up in the ordinary way of
blowing a bottle. The bottom ridge is deeper and wider and more hollow than the
top one so that the diameter inside the neck at the bottom ridge is smaller than at
the top one thereby allowing a cork to pass the top ridge and be fixed into the
bottom ridge, thereby practically corking the bottle. A glass cone or cork is then
put into the top part of neck and being of a larger diameter than the diameter of
the top ridge it cannot pass through but lodges on the said top ridge. It is then
cemented down so that to obtain the contents of bottle this top part of the neck
with cement marked D. in drawing and containing plug marked C. in drawing is
knocked off at the top groove marked A in drawing, thereby exposing the cork in
the bottom ridge or hollow and marked B. in drawing. The bottle can then be
tapped by the cork being drawn in the same way as any ordinary bottle.
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 :-
To produce a bottle with a neck having ridges round the interior with corre-
sponding grooves or hollows round the exterior and particularly the top groove and
ridge marked A in the drawing as set forth.

Improvements in Cooking Apparatus.
I, ADA THORNTON, of 45, Sherlock Road, Haverstock Hill, London, N.W.
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 cooking apparatus, and consists in
forming such articles with a central vertical passage for heated gas or air. This
necessarily reduces the water space to the dimensions of an annular cylinder which
is closed at the top by means of a drop lid provided with suitable handles.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood, I have hereto
annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of an apparatus constructed according to my invention,
Figure 2 is a plan of the same and Figure 3 a vertical section.
The saine letters refer to the same parts in the various views or figures.
Referring to Figure 1, a is the outer casing of the vessel and the dotted line a¹
shews the limit of the water space, this line a' being shewn in full in Figures 2
and 3. This construction leaves a central flue or aperture b, which may be heated
by means of a lamp e or other suitable heating medium. The water space may be
closed at the top by means of a drop-lid d which is provided with handles e or a
hinged lid may be used if preferred.
Another feature of my invention consists in providing bars or rests f upon the
top of the drop-lid d upon which I can place a small kettle or hot water vessel for
boiling purposes. Instead of a vessel for heating water, a frying pan or saucepan
may be placed upon the bars or rests f. The bars fallow the heated gases to
escape and make room for a supply of fresh air to keep the lamp e alight. In
order to provide a supply of air for feeding the lamp, the bottom of the pot a' must
be raised slightly from the table upon which it stands by means of feet a or
equivalent means.
By the employment of my improved apparatus, the processes of frying and boiling
or baking may be simultaneously carried out.
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:
1. The construction of cooking apparatus with a central flue for the passage
of heated gas substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
2. The combination with a vessel such as herein described of a lid d provided
with bars substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
3. The herein described combination of water heating and cooking apparatus
constructed substantially as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Parquet and Block Flooring.
I, JOHN THOMAS CHAPPELL, of No. 149 Lupus Street, Pimlico, in the County
of London, Building Contractor, 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 the preparation of pieces of wood used for parquet or
block flooring, and to the joining and laying of those pieces in such a manner as to
ensure their firm fixing and junction as I shall describe referring to the accom-
panying drawings.
Figs. and 2 are sections shewing respectively portions of block and of parquet
flooring which differ chiefly in thickness;
Fig. 3 is a plan of part of a floor shewing the connection of the pieces by dowels
or tongues, and
Fig. 4 shews the same to an enlarged scale.
According to my invention each block or piece A is made with an ogee
moulding B all round its lower edge, and with a saw cut groove C all round it a
little above the moulding. Where two blocks or pieces A. meet each other at
their ends and sides I insert into the groove of the one a piece of iron hoop H
which projects as a tenon into the groove of the other, the two pieces or blocks
being thus firmly dowelled together. On pressing down the pieces, thus dowelled
together, on suitable bituminous, mastic or such like cement laid on the bed
prepared for the floor, the cement is squeezed up into the spaces between the two
adjacent mouldings, and as these are of ogee form having the lower member pro-
jecting somewhat beyond the hollow above it, the cement, when it sets, constitutes
a key which holds the flooring firmly down. Owing to the absence of sharp angles
and corners such as occur when the key is of dovetail form, there is little or no
liability to fracture of the moulding or of the cement key.
Although I have shewn in the drawings the blocks or pieces of rectangular
form, obviously they might be triangular square or polygonal, according to the
desired pattern of the flooring, each piece having its moulding and groove as
above described.
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 :-
A parquet or block flooring consisting of pieces of wood, each made with an
ogee moulding at its lower edge and with a groove to receive metal dowels, sub-
stantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Moustache Guards for Drinking Cups
or Vessels.
We, BRYAN BARNETT of 56 Brunswick Street, Edinburgh, North Britain,
Inland Revenue Officer, retired, and GEORGE WILLIAM KING of Market Street,
Galashiels, North Britain, Auctioneer, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in moustache guards for drinking cups or
vessels and has for its object the production of a guard which can be readily applied
to any drinking cup or vessel and will remain in position without the necessity for
any complicated fixings; the construction of our guard being so that it can be made
very cheaply.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a cup shewing the guard in position; Fig. 2 is a plan
of the same.
Figure 3 is a modification of our said invention.
The guard is constructed out of a piece of metal having the hooks a for
suspending the guard from the edge of the cup. is the support or rest, the foot.
of which bears against the side of the cup at the interior thereof and supports the
guard in position.
The hooks and the supporting piece are stamped out of the same piece of metal
as the rest of the guard, and are then bent into their required positions.
In lieu of the under support 6 we may employ any equivalent of the same such as
the projecting pieces e shown in Fig. 3.
с
The arrangement or construction of the hanging hooks and the supporting piece
or pieces may be varied in many ways for example both the hanging hooks and the
supporting piece or pieces may be made out of wire bent to the required shapes and
soldered to the plate.
Or the whole guard might be made out of china, glass or the like, the hanging
hooks, or their equivalent, as well as the under support, or the side supports, being
moulded in one with the guard;--or the said parts might be made of metal, attached
to the china.
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 improved moustache guard substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

Safety Pocket Clasp.
HARRY WILBERFORCE TROTMAN 4 Camden Road Camden Town N.W.
Costumier 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 use a diamond or lozenge shape frame hinged at each corner, which is stitched
to the mouth of the pocket and which requires to be pressed against the wearers
side before it can open, thus giving the wearer warning the pocket is being
opened.
One bar of the frame which I call the straight bar, extends about one inch
beyond the hinge and has a notch cut near the top. On to this end of the bar is
placed a washer spring and cap.
This cap consists of a short piece of tube with a capped end and is secured into
a sliding position by an indent corresponding with the notch cut in the straight
bar and a spiral spring which presses the cap tube upwards. A long slot is cut
through the tube at cap end to allow the point of hook to pass through.
The corresponding bar on the opposite side of the frame I call the shoulder bar
and is bent near the hinge so as to form a shoulder and hook, at the point of which
is cut a notch corresponding with the slot in the cap on the straight bar, which acts
as a catch to secure the point of hook.
To open the pocket I press the top and bottom ends of the clasp together,
which, while releasing the hook from the tube attached to cap at the top of clasp,
forces the two sides of frame open so as to assume a lozenge in shape sufficiently
wide to allow the hand to pass to and fro.
Immediately the hand is withdrawn the spring on the straight bar pressing on
the shoulder brings the two sides parallel. The hook of shoulder bar enters the
slot cut through the tube of cap and catches on the opposite side, thus locking the
pocket clasp.
To avoid the material of dress catching in the point of hook I attach to the
tube of cap a piece of thin brass which I fold over so as to form a shield to cover
the top of mechanism.
The frame is perforated to enable its being sewn to the pocket,

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 galvanic elements.
The feature of the improved element consists in the electrolyte being a salt of
the positive electrode. Thus, for example, supposing zinc is the positive electrode,
and the negative electrode, pyrolusite, with carbon, or a mixture of both substances,
or carbon alone, then, if the electrolyte is sulphate of zinc, the latter is decomposed
into zinc and sulphuric acid. But, the sulphuric acid will, as it cannot form any
other combination, combine with the liberated zinc. As a consequence, hydrogen
and oxygen are freed, the oxygen combining with the zinc, and producing oxide
of zinc, whilst the hydrogen adheres to the carbon-electrode, and periodically
weakens it.
After some hours, it will be regenerated.
The essential advantage of this element is, that, as the electrolyte regenerates
itself, it remains constant, and neither the electrolyte nor the electrode is
used up.
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 :-
A galvanic element, characterized by the electrolyte being a salt of the positive
electrode, so that a self-acting regeneration of the electrolyte is obtained, substan-
tially as described.

We, LA SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME POUR L'EXPLOITATION INTERNATIONALE DES
INVENTIONS BREVETÉES of 52 Rue de Spa, Brussels in the Kingdom of Belguim,
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 the present invention is to provide a hygienic pillow which consists
of an envelope of paper stuffed with shavings of pine wood or other species of wood
recognised as hygienic, paper cut in pieces, or strips of any size, or any other suit-
able material. The paper envelope is closed by pasting or any other appropriate
means.
The paper pillow offers the following novel advantages:
(A.) It may be made and sold at a minimum price, besides which, it may be
applied to usages for which ordinary pillows of much higher price are not suitable ;
(B.) It is hygienic, as much by the materials themselves of which it is composed,
as by the fact that, costing very little, it may be replaced (by another) after once
using
(C.) It is very light, and therefore very portable ;-
(D.) It is very refreshing in summer and warm in winter.
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:-
The hygienic pillow constructed as above described, for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Dust Pans and the like.
I, SARAH CAROLINE HARMAN of Frietuna, Harold Grove, Frinton on Sea, in
the County of Essex, Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to dust-pans, crumb scoops and the like in which the
dust etc. to be removed is swept into the pan intended to receive it.
This pan varies from the ordinary sort inasmuch as it has attached to the back
of the pan a well to contain all dust etc., the well being not only at the back, but
also sloping under the pan. It has a rounded cover over and joining that part of
the well which is not hidden by the scoop or shovel, and the sides of scoop are raised
to join the cover. All contents thus being hidden from view. The rounded well
causes the pan to balance and so is not easily upset. An ordinary handle may be
used or one extending along the bottom of the well and pan to strengthen the whole
arrangement.
