Improvements in Harness Tugs.
We, ELIHU BURRITT PENDLEBURY, of 38, Beachy Street, Clerk and PHINEAS
ROTHWELL, of 12, Rastrick Street, Mechanic, both of Oldham, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in harness tugs and has for its object to
provide means whereby the same are rendered more durable and at the same time
more pleasing to the eye.
And in order that our invention may be more fully understood we have caused to be
appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference indicating
like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is an end view, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the improved tug.
In carrying out our invention and referring to the figures generally our improve-
ments consist in the application to the interior of the tug a of a metal lining or pro-
tector b. Such metal lining or protector b may be formed and employed in the tug a
in various ways, preferably as illustrated in the drawings.
The lining or protector 6 on each side is formed with a flange c which fits against
the sides of the tug a and with straps e which are bent around the same in order to
prevent the lining or protector & from leaving the tug a.
The same object may be attained by dispensing with the straps e and forming
the underside of the lining or protector b with teeth to embed themselves into the
tug a.
The said lining or protector b, when worn through, may be easily removed and
replaced by a new one, thus rendering the tugs a more durable than heretofore has
been the case.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim, is-
In harness tags, the application to the interior thereof of a metal lining or pro-
tector &, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Artificial Teeth.
I, JOHN JOSEPH ROBERT POTTER, of 35, Willes Road, Kentish Town, London,
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Up to the present time artificial teeth have been made having a pin or pins made
of platinum embedded therein and projecting from the back of the tooth this metal
having been universally used on account of its capacity to withstand without
melting the high temperature to which the teeth have required hitherto to be
subjected in the process of baking. The nature of my invention is to substitute
silver in place of platinum the former being of much less value and the cost of the
teeth therefore greatly reduced. To enable me to effect this purpose I make the
teeth of a composition of greater fusibility than heretofore so that in baking they
do not require a temperature sufficient to fuse the silver pin or pins embedded
therein.

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 :-
At the present time artificial teeth are made of porcelain having one or more pins
of wire made of platinum imbedded therein and projecting from the back of the
tooth. These pins are imbedded in the tooth before it is baked or fired and
platinum is used on account of its capacity to withstand without melting the great
heat to which the teeth must be subjected in the process of baking. According to
my invention I form artificial teeth with the pins made of silver wire instead of
platinum. I am enabled to do this by making my teeth of a porcelain material
which does not require to be fired at such a great heat as the material now used so
that the pins are not melted by the heat necessary for baking the teeth.
I find a porcelain material of the following composition most suitable for this
nurnace
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
Artificial teeth formed substantially as herein described with pins of silver
substantially as described.

An Improved Steam Trap.
We, JAMES CORMACK and WILLIAM CORMACK, both of 36 Abercorn Street, Glasgow,
n the County of Lanark, North Britain, Heating 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 an improved steam trap whereby in heating and other
pparatus water is prevented from accumulating in pipes and the steam is prevented
from escaping therefrom while trap is working as is at present allowed by most
existing traps.
And in order that our invention and the system mode or manner in or under which
the same is or may be practically carried into effect may be properly understood, we
have appended an explanatory sheet of drawings illustrating a longitudinal section of
the trap.
As constructed in accordance with our said invention the trap has a strong outer
metal case a which is fitted steam tight with a cover b, there being a recess c in top of
case a into which a corresponding ridge or projection on cover fits, the joints being
made tight by asbestos. The water or condensed steam inlet e to the case is situated
near the top thereof and unlike most other traps is always free or open, the pipe being
merely fitted into the case which said case is therefore open to the same pressure as
the piping or other system desired to be drained of water or condensed steam. The
outlet by which the accumulated water is withdrawn from trap is situated at the bottom
of the case and consists of a plain disc valve i having a standard m in which is pivoted
the ball or other float lever n the shut off valve disc o being attached to lever n so as to
rise and fall therewith, thus opening or shutting outlet valve. On cover is an air
snifting or inlet valve r which only opens inwards and shuts when pressure inside
counterbalances or exceeds that outside.
The apparatus operates as follows. The drain pipe from system is attached to inlet e
of case a which case is put at a lower level than system to be drained. The condensed
steam or water accumulates in the case until it covers the outlet valve i and floats ball,
thus lifting lever n and disc o thereby allowing a quantity of the accumulated water
to escape, which as it again accumulates and rises in case lifts float lever n and acts as
before; the steam thus being prevented from escaping and water as it accumulates
being let off.
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 particular arrangement and construction of apparatus, whereby steam is
prevented from escaping while working, and water is drained off therefrom, all as
hereinbefore described and shown.

Improved Composition of Soap.
I GEORGE ALLEN, of 51 Milton Street, London, in the County of Middlesex,
Soap Maker, 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 composition of ingredients to be used in the
manufacture of soap, and has for its object to provide a soap applicable to the usual
purposes but specially adapted for washing and cleansing woollen or flannel goods
without rubbing, and for preventing the shrinkage thereof.
My composition consists of the following ingredients combined in the proportions
stated.
To the above any desired scenting agent may be added.
The paraffin wax is to be melted and mixed with the ammonia and this compound is
to be added to, and thoroughly incorporated by agitation with the common soap in a
boiling or plastic state. Ammonia alone would dissolve the soap but I have found
that when mixed with paraffin wax and added to the soap as directed the composition
has a very beneficial effect on the goods as the paraffin wax tends to bleach and the
ammonia extracts the grease.
In using this soap a lather should be made in warm (not boiling) water and the
goods soaked therein for a time-say ten minutes-no rubbing is required; the goods
should then be removed, rensed in two quantities of luke-warm water, carefully wrong
and quickly dried.
By the use of the above composition the shrinkage which usually occurs with and
is so detrimental to woollen goods after washing is entirely prevented while the goods
are at the same time entirely cleaned from grease and other substances.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to he performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The hereinabove described composition of soap to be used for washing purposes
consisting of ammonia, paraffin wax, and common soap in the proportions specified.

An Improved Means for Conveniently Withdrawing Corks and Bungs
from Bottles, Casks, Jars, and other such like Vessels, and from
Tubes.
I, HARRY HOLLAND, Town Hall, Brentwood, Essex, Wine, Spirit and Ale Merchant,
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 consists of an improved means of affixing a cord of flax or other
suitable material to corks, and bungs so that they may be easily and conveniently
extracted however tightly driven in from any kind of bottle, cask, jar, such like vessel
or tube without the aid of a corkscrew and without injuring the corks or bungs to
prevent them being used for an unlimited period.
In this my invention the means of affixing the cord or other material is by passing
it diametrically through the cork or bung close to the base then running it through
from the centre or thereabouts in a transverse direction to within a short distance from
the top of the cork or bung, the cord is then tied to form a convenient and projecting
loop above the top of the cork or bung to allow of it being drawn from the vessel, by
the finger or in preference a piece of lead pencil, key, walking stick or similar article
at hand.
The loop of the cord when thus pulled contracts the cork or bung near its base,
centre and top thereby rendering it easy to extract; it is not liable to be injured; all
danger of leaving pieces of cork in the vessel is avoided altho nothing but cork comes
in contact with the contents of vessel; furthermore the loop of the cord at the top of
the cork or bung serves as a means of conveniently conveying a number of bottles at
a time by the hand when corked.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1, represents a part of the neck of the bottle C. with a whole section of the
cork B inserted therein showing the external arrangement of the cord A.
Figure 2. represents a part of the neck of the bottle C. with a half section of the
cork B inserted therein exposing the internal arrangement of the cord A.
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
An improved means of extracting.corks and bungs used for the purpose of pluging
bottles, casks, jars such like vessels and tubes from the said vessels, as described by
drawings.

An Improved Sliding-box, such as used for Powders, Matches, Pens,
and the like.
I, NEWNHAM BROWNE, of 73, Cheapside, in the City of London, Fellow of the
Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention for "AN
IMPROVED SLIDING BOX SUCH AS USED FOR POWDERS, MATCHES, PENS AND THE
LIKE" which invention has been communicated to me from abroad by Teodor Remus,
of Dresden, in the Empire of Germany, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The accompanying drawings show an improved sliding-box such as is used for
powders, matches, pens and the like.
Such boxes usually consist of an outer part forming as it were a hollow four-sided
prism with open ends, and an inner part fitting into the former and open at top.
According to this invention the inner or sliding portion of the box is made without
sides.
The ends a (ie. the shorter sides of the quadrangle) are rigidly connected with a
portion a' of the bottom, the width of which portion is about equal to the height of
the side. The connection may be made by a metal edge or otherwise, and is such
that a and a always remain at the same angle to one another.
Each of the corners a, a', so formed, is (by the portion a¹) hinged to the remainder
of the bottom of the box so that it may be folded over as shown in dotted lines.
The outer part or shell of the box, shown in Figs. 3 and 4, has its sides
strengthened by pieces fixed thereon so that grooves are formed in which the
bottom a, a² of the inner portion slides, the motion of said inner portion being limited
by the strengthening pieces 6 so that it cannot be pulled out much more than is
required to allow the part a, a, to drop.
The object of so constructing the said box is to enable the contents to be more
readily seized when required.
If for instance matches are put into a box of the usual construction it will be found
that the long sides of the sliding portion are in the way when a match is to be seized,
particularly if the fingers are somewhat clumsy. If a box of the description above
shown is used, the removal of the contents is much facilitated.
If in such box the inner portion is pulled out as far as the piece b' allows, the corner
outside the outer casing 6 (see Fig. 3) can be bent or folded back leaving the ends of
the matches or the like uncovered.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said 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 :
A box having the corners a, a¹ hinged to the bottom of the inner-portion of the box,
such inner-portion having no sides, the outer-portion being fitted with strengthening
pieces b, all arranged and operating as specified.

Improvements in Water Gauges for Steam Generators.
I, JULIUS STOCK of Homberg-on-the-Rhine in the German Empire, Mill
Proprietor, 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 improvements of this invention consist in the application over the ordinary
glass tube of water gauges of a glass guard, the object being to prevent accidents
such as frequently occur upon the fracture or explosion of the ordinary glass tube.
In the accompanying drawing the invention is shewn applied to an ordinary water
gauge, Figs. 1 and 2 being elevations, and Fig. 3 a section through line A-B of
Fig. 2.
a is the guard of thick glass in the form of a hollow cylinder with an opening 6 in
the whole of its length and of a width that will allow of it being passed over the
ordinary gauge glass c. d is a packing piece in the form of a ring with an opening
like that of the guard and for a similar purpose. Its object is to adjust the guard a
so that it will at the ends be held in its proper position concentric with the gauge
glass by projections e on stuffing box nuts f without further means of attachment.
The guard is placed in position in the manner shewn in dotted lines in Fig. 1. It
is first held in a sloping direction over a part of one of the projections e and gauge
glass c.
The packing piece d is then slid in the direction shewn by the arrow over
the gauge glass and down over one of the projections e. The guard is then pressed
upwards, passed over the gauge glass into the position shewn in Fig. 2, and then
lowered until its bottom end rests on packing piece d as shewn in full lines in Fig. 1
where it is securely held by projections e.
The guard being transparent allows of the gauge glass being observed as in the
ordinary way.
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 protector for the water gauges of steam generators consisting of a cylindrical
self holding glass guard and packing piece located underneath same each having an
opening or slot corresponding to the diameter of the gauge glass, substantially as
described and shewn.

A Method of Closing Bottles suitable for Sterilized Liquids.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Method of Closing Bottles suitable for Sterilized Liquids.
I, FRANZ SOXHLET, Doctor of Philosophy and Government Professor, of Munich
in the Empire of Germany 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 bottles or flasks for holding liquid to be sterilized and it
consists of a method of closing the mouths of said bottles or flasks as hereinafter
described.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a section of the bottle with closing device and a temporary holder therefor
as placed in position previous to sterilizing.
Fig. 2 illustrates the bottle with closing device in position after sterilizing by heat
and subsequent cooling.
Fig. 3 is a plan and Fig. 4 a vertical section of the temporary holder slightly
modified for a purpose hereinafter shown.
The mouth of the bottle is spread outward as shown so as to be of somewhat larger
diameter than the neck below the mouth, on the mouth of the bottle is loosely placed
a disc b of rubber the diameter of which is almost equal to the diameter of the outside
of the mouth. A tube c is placed loosely over the mouth of the bottle and is of such
length that when resting on the neck of the bottle its upper edge is slightly above the
upper surface of the rubber disc b. The tube c serves as a temporary holder to retain
the disc 6 in place during the heating of the bottle with its contents, by preventing
said disc from slipping off when raised by the escape of air and gases from the
interior of the bottle. The interior diameter of the tube c may be about millimeter
larger than that of the rubber disc b. The thickness of the rubber disc will depend
upon the size of the mouth of the bottle being usually about 2 to 5 millimeters, so that it
is sufficiently elastic to be pressed down as in Fig. 2 when the bottle cools by the excess
of outer atmospheric pressure, and sufficiently stout to prevent its collapse into the
bottle under said pressure.
For sterilizing liquids which foam up below the boiling point, such as milk, it is
necessary to provide the tube c with projections d to hold the disc 6 from rising
sufficiently to fall out of the tube c when the liquid foams over.
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 method of closing bottles in which liquids are to be sterilized and kept
consisting in the placing of a disc of rubber upon the spreaded neck of the bottle,
and holding same temporarily in place during the heating necessary for sterilizing by
means of the tube c afterwards removed after cooling of the bottle and contents,
substantially as set forth.

An Improvement in Blocks or Tops for Gulleys and other Traps.
I, PATRICK MOONEY, of 410 City Road, Manchester in the County of Lancaster
Plumber and Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improvement in blocks or tops for gulleys and other
traps and the improvement consists essentially in an earthenware. block hollowed or
channelled to receive and convey the water discharged from waste and other pipes
into the trap without the water having to pass over a grid or grating.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to the
figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation Fig. 2 a transverse section and
Fig. 3 a plan of my improved block or top for a gulley or other trap and Fig. 4 is a
plan of the same with the grating removed.
In these views a designates the earthenware block, b the hollow or channel formed
in the block, and leading to the passage c immediately above the gulley or other
trap not shown, d is the grid or grating which rests in a recess a formed in the
block a (see Fig. 4) and e e are waste pipes which discharge into the hollow b.
It will be seen that the grid d is an angular piece, the downwardly projecting
portion or bars d¹ guarding the entrance to the passage c and preventing the passage
of any large obstacle which might choke the trap, while at the same time permitting
the free flow of water from the waste pipes e.
The chief advantages obtained by the use of my improved block are that the
grating is always clean there is no splashing or overflow, it is easily fixed and no
liability for it to get out of order.
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 block a formed with a hollow or channel b, and a pipe or
passage c substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
2. The combination with the block a, of the grid or grating d formed with a
fence d' substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
