Improvements in Dyeing Mixed Woven or Knitted Fabrics.
I THOMAS INGHAM of 4 York Street Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Manufacturing Chemist, 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 upon the invention for which Letters
Patent No. 2984 were granted to myself and dated 20th Feby. 1889 the object of
the present invention being to dispense with the necessity for drying the mixed
fabric between the dyeing and the oxidizing processes.
In the first place instead of using the dyeing solutions at a heat of about 120 or
140 degrees Fahrenheit as described in the Specification of the above named Letters
Patent I now maintain them at a boiling heat, and I pass the fabric under treatment
directly from the dye bath into the oxidizing bath; the strength of this bath
however being about twice the strength of the solution hitherto usual, although the
strength will vary according to the shade required.
By thus increasing the temperature of the dye bath and the strength of the
oxidizing bath I an enabled to dispense with the necessity for drying the fabric
between the dyeing and the oxidizing processes.
With the above exception the process is the same as that described in the
Specification No. 2984 previously referred to.
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 process hereinbefore described of submitting a woven or knitted fabric of
undyed mixed animal and vegetable fibres (after suitable cleansing) to a bath of
the desired coloring matter or solution kept at boiling heat, and then passing it
(without drying) directly into an oxidizing bath of about twice the strength of that
usually employed for the dye liquor used in the aforesaid bath.

Improvements in Metallic Teasels.
We, GEORGES SCRIVE and ALBERT SCRIVE both of No. 2, Rue Lombard,.
Lille, Department du Nord, Republic of France, 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:-
This invention has for its object to provide a metallic teasel for raising nap on
cloth, to be used in lieu of the vegetable teasels now in use.
As is well known in the art, the process of tenselling a fabric has for its object
to draw the hair from the inside of the cloth so as to impart a woolly appearance.
to the surface, without however destroying the texture or impairing its solidity.
The various attempts hitherto made to replace the vegetable teasel (the material
for which is scarce) by metal hooks specially constructed have been unsuccessful.
owing to the insufficient elasticity of the hooks and also to the improper shape of
their teeth, the cutting faces of which were at an unsuitable angle and required to
be constantly ground, thus making the angle of each teasel hook different each
time. The hooks were usually constructed of a square sectioned wire but were
generally unsatisfactory and the texture was frequently torn.
Figure 1 in the accompanying drawing shows a hook as hitherto constructed.
With this invention these objections are overcome and an efficient metallic teasel.
provided.
It will be found on examining a natural vegetable tensel that its hooked end is.
round in section and semicircular in shape; this shape and section are retained
as far as possible in our metal substitute and in this fact lies both the essence of
our invention and its advantage over the old form.
Figure 2 shows two hooks constructed according to this invention: as shown.
they are made in one piece joined by the part A-R. From A to B' the wire is
straight and from B' it is curved into a semicircular form B, C, D¹ the end of
which is pointed. These hooks are made to set into a ribbon (Fig. 3) which is
subsequently wrapped round the "gig-barrel" of the carding machine.
Any kind of elastic metal may be used for these hooks, such as copper, brass,.
bronze, aluminium, etc. The selection of the metal depends largely upon local.
circumstances, i.e., whether the teasels have to work in a dry or moist.
atmosphere.
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 manufacture of metallic teasels with curvilinear teeth, as described and as
illustrated on the drawing anced.

Improvements in Sash Fasteners.
1 GEORGE MURPHY of 56, Howard Road, Cricklewood, Licensed Victualler,.
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 improvement in sash fasteners, and consists of an
attachment, which can be applied to the ordinary fasteners, and which will!
effectually prevent the fastener being undone from the outside of the window.
The attachment consists of a bent plate hinged to the closed side of the quadrant-
stop which receives the arm of the fastener. This plate is turned up to allow
the arm to pass into closed position, but when turned over onto the base plate,.
and screwed to the latter by a thumbscrew, the arm will be held securely in position
and prevented from being released until the plate is raised.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the attachment fitted in place,.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the complete fastener and
Figs. 3 & 4 are side elevations of the same viewed from opposite points.
A is the base plate carrying the hinged arm a of ordinary shape and construction,
with the spring a holding it in closed or open position. The other base plate B.
fixed on the lower bar of the upper sash is formed with the usual quadrant stop or
hook plate retaining the arm a and binding the two sashes together.
On this hook plate is fitted the plate C hinged at c and bent down at c¹ so that
when fitted in position the end will rest on top of the base plate, where it is fixed.
by the thumbscrew D screwing into the base plate as shown in the drawings. The
arm a thus cannot be turned back until the plate C is raised clear of it as shown in
Fig. 1 in dotted lines. The thumbscrew D is loosely fitted to the plate so that it.
may turn easily but will not become detached.
When this device is to be connected to fasteners in use, a small plate 2 as shown
dotted in Fig. 1 may carry the hinged portion and be screwed or otherwise fixed.
to the hook plate.
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.) An attachment to window fasteners, consisting of a plate hinged to the
hook plate or quadrant stop and attached to the base plate by a thumbscrew, bent
down so as to retain the arm of the fastener, substantially as and for the purposes.
specified.
(2.) The improved attachment to window fasteners for further securing the:
same, substantially as described and shown and for the purposes specified.

chafing of the riders leg which passes over the near side pummel of the saddle, this
is attained by the introduction of a tube of vulcanised india rubber on the drawing
herewith which passes all round the inner part and edge of said "pummels" and
made up in the usual manner with wool and covered hogskin thus making the said
"pummel" extra pliable and soft, giving at the same time an automatic and secure
grip to rider.
This plan has never been adopted before or introduced into pummels of side
saddles having always been stuffed with flock and covered with leather causing
them to be much too hard to be comfortable and easy, to the rider.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the matter of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is

Improvements in or relating to Boots and Shoes.
We, WILLIAM WORSLEY KENT, and WILLIAM MCALPIN, both of
70 Deansgate, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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:-
With boots and shoes as at present worn it generally happens that the heels are-
worn away more quickly at one side than the other owing usually to the fact that
the feet or legs of the wearer are slightly deformed and that the heels of the boots-
or shoes do not occupy a sufficient central position under the heels of the wearers.
feet to cause them to strike the ground evenly.
Now the object of our invention is to provide means whereby the heel of the
foot may be sufficiently raised or supported at the necessary point to cause the heel
of the boot or shoe to strike the ground evenly and consequently to wear away on.
both sides alike.
For this purpose we
provide a sock or false heel of cork, felt, or any other
suitable material to be placed inside the boot or shoe immediately above the heel.
thereof.
This sock or false heel tapers in thickness from the back to the front so that its.
upper surface forms a continuation of that of the insole of the boot and also from.
side to side so as to raise or support the heel of the wearer's foot sufficiently on one
side as to cause the heel of the boot or shoe to strike the ground evenly when.

An Improvement in Burners for Incandescent Gas Lights.
I, JULIUS MOELLER, of 14 Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, 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 :→
My invention relates to a burner of the. Bunsen kind such as is used for heating
the mantle of an incandescent gas light, this burner being provided with means of
maintaining a small flame ready for kindling the main flame when required.
The accompanying drawing is a vertical section of a burner according to this.
invention. In the gas supply pipe I provide a stopcock A the plug of which,
besides having a passage through it, has cut in it a groove extending round a
considerable arc of its circumference. A hole adjustable by a screw B forms a
passage through the shell of the cock to a small tube C which extends up through
the body of the burner and terminates with a small gas jet D near the centre of
the burner cap, in which cap there is a central hole for insertion of the wire to
carry the mantle. Besides the adjusting screw B there is another screw E
adjusting a hole forming a passage from the gas pipe below the stopcock to the
tube C.
When the plug of A is turned so that there is free passage through it as shewn,
the main burner being then lighted, the passage by the hole B to the pipe C and
jet D is closed, but still a small quantity of gas can pass the screw E so as to keep
the tube C always full. When the plug of A is turned a quarter round so as to
close the passage to the main burner, gas Hows round the groove in the circumference
of the plug and through the hole of B to the tube C, the flow being sufficient to
maintain a light, at the jet D ready to kindle the main flame when the plug is
turned back to the position for passage of gas to the flame. As the tube C is kept
always full of gas passing into it by the hole governed by E, though this gas
may not be sufficient to maintain a flame at D, the turning of the plug of A for
extinguishing the main flame, allows more gas to pass by the hole governed by B.
to the burner D where a small flame is ignited before extinction of the main flame,.
however sudden that may be.
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 burner for an incandescent gas light provided with stopcock and with a
kindling burner and tube leading thereto, having adjusted communications with.
the gas pipe and the cock, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

A New or Improved Rest for Golf Clubs in Combination with an
Umbrella or Walking Stick.
CHARLES STORMES GOOD, Orpington Kent, Chartered Accountant, 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 rests or supports for golf clubs & consists in providing
an umbrella or walking stick with one or more bent pieces which are pivoted to
the handle of the umbrella or walking stick and being controlled by a spring or
springs so that the bent pieces may be opened out & form a golf club rest when
required, and when in their closed position they enter recesses formed in the
umbrella or walking stick.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention showing the rests in their closed
position.
Figure 2. view of same when open.
a. is the stick of the umbrella or walking stick, to which the pieces b are pivoted
at c. d is a bent spring which maintains the pieces 6 in their opened or closed
position as desired.
The pieces benter recesses formed in the stick a when in their closed position.
Any suitable and well known form of catch piece may be employed to maintain
the pieces 6 in their closed position in which case the spring is so arranged as to
tend to open the pieces b. when the catch piece is operated.
It will be seen that by driving the end of the stick or umbrella into the ground
& opening out the pieces b, that a support is provided for the handles of the
golf clubs.
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 combination with an umbrella or walking stick of a golf club rest consisting
of two curved pieces of suitable material such as metal pivoted to the stick, or
handle of the umbrella or walking stick and controlled by a spring, said curved
pieces entering recesses or grooves cut for their reception in the stick or handle of
the umbrella or walking stick, when not extended for use.

An Improvement connected with the Baking of Bread, Biscuits,
Scones, Pastries, and the like.
I, GAVIN LAWSON Jr. of 9 Albert Drive, Crosshill, Glasgow, Chemist, 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 baking of bread, biscuits, scones, pies, pastries and
the like.
Heretofore, when baking bread, scones, biscuits and the like, bakers' and
confectioners have generally used cream of tartar or tartaric acid. Under my
invention, however, ammonium chloride, or ammonium sulphate or ammonium acid
sulphate is used either alone or in combination with other ingredients in place of
the cream of tartar or tartaric acid.
I generally prefer to use ammonium chloride as it is found to give the best
results.
Any of the three chemicals can be mixed with bi-carbonate or carbonate of soda
or with other suitable and well known chemical or chemicals so as to form a baking
powder.
Although the chemicals can be used in any suitable proportions according to the
taste of the confectioner and the nature of the article being baked, I hereby
give, by way of example, a proportion which I find produces very good
results, viz. ;
Any of the three chemicals can be used as oread improvers of white insu
of alum.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
The application and use in the baking of bread, biscuits, scones, pastries and the
like, of ammonium chloride, or ammonium sulphate or ammonium acid sulphate,
substantially as hereinbefore described.

follows:-
The chair is made with special side rails.
The back rail and back leg being flush on the inside so as to enable the side rail
to be close jointed to the back leg and back rail.
The side rail which consists of being left large enough to permit either bolts or
dowels to be inserted in the back rail and back leg and side rail.
The whole comprising one close joint.

I JAMES GAYMOND Atlas Chair Works New Street Miles Platting Manchester
Chair 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 :-
The invention is supplementary to the ordinary method of framing chairs and is
an improved side rail for strengthening the backs of chairs where they are secured
to the seat. Framing is applied in the following manner.
The back rail B and back leg C is flush on the inside so as to enable the
side rail A to be close jointed to the back leg C and back rail B.
The side rail A consists of being left large enough to permit either bolts D of
iron or other material or dowels to be inserted in the back rail B and back leg C
and side rail A the whole comprising one close joint E..
The advantage in this you will note is the formation of the side rail A. This
is a solid brace and side rail which bears upon back rail B as well as back leg C.
This almost makes it impossible to loosen side rail A without breaking B or C.
This will supply a long felt want in this class of chair on account of the weakness
that has existed in this particular part of chairs.
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
1st. The use of a rail which shall form a solid side rail and brace combined to
be close jointed to back rail B and back leg C.
2nd. The use of bolts D or dowels of iron or other materials in back rail B
and back leg C and side rail A.

The cyanides of butyltoluene bave been prepared by Effront (Ber. d. deutsch.
Chem. Ges. XVII. 2337 and 2343). They may also be obtained by diazotising
the butyltoluidines and thereafter treating them with copper cyanide. The other
cyanides mentioned above are prepared in a similar way.
In order to obtain the nitroderivative, the cyanide is introduced into fuming
nitric acid or into a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids, and the reaction is
effected by gently heating on the water bath. After a few hours the product is
poured into water and the nitro compound is crystallised from alcohol or other
suitable solvent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-

claim is :-
1. The herein described manufacture of artificial musk compounds by nitrating
the cyanides of butyle toluene, of butyle xyleue or of butylemethylcresol.
2. Artificial musk compounds manufactured as above set forth.

Apparatus for Utilising the Force of Waves to Produce Motive
Power.
I, THOMAS MYLIUS SAVAGE ENGLISH, of The Rookery, Hawley, Dartford, in
the County of Kent, 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:-
My invention relates to means of utilising the force of waves to produce motive
power.
For this purpose, as shewn in the accompanying drawings which are respectively,
a side view Fig. 1, and a front view Fig. 2, I moor in the water near a sea coast, a
float A which may be of wood or other material lighter than water, or may be a
hollow float of metal.
The float is moored by chains Dattached at its lower part and to the float is fixed
a lever arm B which is connected by a chain or rope C passing over a pulley on
shore to a weight sufficient to prevent the rope from slipping on the pulley and to
hold the float A in the position shewn until it is carried and floated by a wave to
the position such as indicated by the dotted lines A'.
The lever arm B being thus moved to the position B₁ the chain or rope C is
pulled raising the weight, and when the wave has passed, it descends causing the
float and its arm to return to their original position, this being caused by the back-
ward motion of the under part of the wave. The pulley over which the chain or
rope C passes to the weight being thus caused to rotate backwards and forwards
may be connected through ratchet and remontoir gear to a shaft so as to give it
continuous rotation, or it may work either directly or through gear a pump raising or
forcing water or compressing air, which can be used for working a hydraulic engine,
turbine, or other suitable motor waterwheel.
Obviously the pulley and weight and gear worked thereby, instead of being on
shore, might be arranged in a barge or other vessel moored in the neighbourhood
of the float.
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 :-
Apparatus for utilising the force of waves to produce motive power, consisting of
a float moored by its lower edge and having a lever arm connected by a chain or
rope passing over a pulley to a weight, substantially as described.
