Improvements in Petroleum Stoves.
I, BERNHARD WILHELM LUNDIN, of Kungsgatan 9, Stockholm, in the
Kingdom of Sweden, Captain of Horse, do hereby declare the nature of this
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The invention relates to certain improvements in petroleum stoves, in which
the petroleum is warmed and gasified by the heat of the flame, during its passage
through a tube system to the opening burner.
The gasification and combustion in this kind of petroleum-stoves is brought about
as follows: The petroleum is gasified by direct heating in the communicating
tubes, forming the burner. In consequence of its own pressure the gas rushes out
and is lighted from a small hole so placed that its flame causes the necessary
heating of the communicating tubes, in which the petroleum is gasified. For
initiating this process the necessary heating is generally produced by a flame
from a small cup filled with spirit placed on the stove.
The improvements are shown in the accompanying drawing where
Fig. 1 is a petroleum stove shown from the side, and Fig. 2 is the same shown
from above.
Figs. 3 and 4 show the improved burner-plate and flame-spreader.
The burner-plate a is constructed as a separate part in the shape of a star, in
which every alternate point is bent inwards underneath towards the centre
The other
in order to support it, when the plate a is placed on the burner c.
points d are bent downwards so that the flame-spreader ring can be put on
outside it and be upheld by the same.
The burner-plate a and the ring can easily be taken away from the burner c
for instance in order to be exchanged for new ones.
A further improvement in relation with the foregoing is that the cut-off valve g,
Fig. 1, is placed just in that part of the tube from which the gasified petroleum
rushes out. The cleaning of the tubes will thus be made less difficult and there
will not be formed so much soot.
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;-
1. In petroleum stoves without wicks, and which are supplied with burner-plate
a tube system, the
and flame-spreader and work with petroleum gasified, in
construction of the burner-plate as a separate part in the form of a star, which has
every alternate point bent inwards underneath the plate towards the centre in
order to support it upon the burner, and the other points bent downwards so that
they together support the funnel-shaped flame-spreader ring, to be put on outside
the said burner-plate.
2. In the petroleum stoves mentioned in Claim 1, the cut-off valve placed on the
tube, from which the gasified petroleum rushes out.

Improvements in Taps.
I FRIEDRICH KESSLER, Engineer, of 37 Jacobstrasse, Malstatt, Burback,
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 :-
A great inconvenience with all metal taps is that the plug and the casing become
rigidly united. It results therefrom that the plug and the casing easily become
grooved and consequently not watertight.
Furthermore these taps when exposed to large variations of temperature become,
in consequence of irregular expansion, fixed and immovable so that they must be
opened and closed with force, which very quickly renders them unfit for use.
the present tap this defect is obviated.
With
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal
section of a cock constructed according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is a horizontal
section of the same.
A sleeve H is placed on the plug K, the sleeve corresponding to the shape of
the casing, and is made elastic by having along its length a groove s. In order that
the sleeve H may also follow the motion of rotation made by the plug K, the latter is
provided with a pin J fitting in the enlarged groove of the sleeve H.
The said tap consists of the casing, entirely closed at the bottom, and made
water tight at the top by a nut U having a metal lining M and stuffing gland S.
If the elasticity of one sleeve surrounding the plug K is not sufficient, two or
more may be used.
The plug K has a central spindle at the top in the stuffing box S and a pin at
the bottom, in the cavity V of the casing.
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 tap having a plug K with one or sleeves H surrounding the plug substantially
as described.
2. A casing closed at the bottom and provided towards the top with a nut U
having a metal lining M, and with a stuffing box S substantially as described.
3. The arrangement and construction of taps substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.

A New or Improved Textile Fabric.
I, WILLIAM JACKSON, of Sandiacre, in the County of Derby, Lace Manu-
facturer, 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, that is to say :-
My invention relates to a new or improved textile fabric consisting wholly, or
partly, of a mass of purls or loops piled together in series or rows upon any lace
ground or net work.
In a fabric made according to this invention, the whole or a part of the beam or
spool threads are purled or looped by being thrown up or down, in the ordinary
well known manner, on the back motion of the machine, and are held in the position
desired by the apparatus described in my Complete Specification No. 61915; or by
draw threads, or any other suitable means, so that the purls or loops fall in rows,
each purl or loop laying upon the next, and standing in prominence from the net or
ground of the fabric, the purls extending the entire width thereof and constituting
a material somewhat resembling a pile fabric.
The purls or loops may be of any desired dimensions and of any number, even to
the extent of 2,000, to the square inch of work, the number being limited only by
the quality of the fabric to be produced. The fabric may be composed of cotton,.
silk, or any material which can be used for the manufacture of lace; or the purl
threads may be of one material, and the bobbin threads, or threads twisted into the-
ground, may be of another material.
Fabrics made according to this invention are preferably manufactured by means
of the mechanism described in my Specification aforesaid, and shown in the drawings.
accompanying the same, that is to say by means of a locking point bar arranged
and working between the two ordinary point bars in a Levers lace machine.
This invention may be applied to lace designs, the flowers and solid portions of
which may be formed of loops or purls in rows or series piled one upon another in.
the manner described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to he performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved textile fabric in which the beam or spool threads are purled in
such a manner as to form series or rows of loops or purls standing out from, and
either wholly or partly covering, the ground or net, said purls laying piled one upon
another, substantially as described.

An Improved Manufacture of Musk-like Substances.
I, WILLIAM MALLMANN, of Roermond, in the Kingdom of Holland, Manu-
facturer, 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 manufacture of musk-like substances.
In the Specification of Letters Patent No. 4018 A.D. 1894 I have described a
method of manufacturing artificial musk. This method is based upon the nitration
of certain ketones.
I have recently found that whole class of ketones on being nitrated give
substances smelling like musk. Such ketones may be manufactured by treating
butyltoluol boiling point 186 degrees Centigrade, or butylxylol boiling point
200 degrees Centigrade, with the acid chlorides of the fatty-series with addition of
aluminium chloride. These ketones are partly substances having an aromatic
odour and which can be easily nitrated. As a typical example I take a ketone
which is obtained by treating butylxylol with acetyl chloride and aluminium
chloride. This ketone, which may be termed dimethylbutylacetophenone, is a
white crystalline substance which melts at 45'5 degrees Centigrade and boils at
265 degrees Centigrade.
In the nitration of this ketone a dinitro product is formed which crystallizes from
alcohol in white strong needles melting at 133 degrees Centigrade.
In order to obtain this nitroketone I introduce 1 part of the ketone into 10 parts
of ice-cold fuming nitric acid having a specific gravity of 1.525 and pour the
nitrating mass upon ice. The nitro product is separated, and is first washed with
water, then with a soda solution and re-crystallized from alcohol.
This dinitrodimethylbutylacetophenone possesses an intensive flower-like odour
of musk which lasts a long time.
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 :-
The manufacture of musk-like substances by nitrating ketones such as may be
obtained from butyltoluol boiling point 186 degrees Centigrade, or butylxylol
boiling point 200 degrees Centigrade, and from the chlorides of the fatty acid
series, according to the method of Friedel and Craft.

Improvements in Shot Cartridges.
I JOSEPH NORRIS LOWER, of Denver, in the County of Arapahoe, in the
State of Colorado, United States of America, Merchant, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for improvements in shot cartridges, 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 furnish a loaded shot, cartridge so constructed
that the user can at a glance determine the size of the shot therein contained.
It differs from the ordinary cartridge now in use, in that the last wad in the end
of the case which confines the shot in the case is made of a transparent substance.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated my transparent wad. The
drawing illustrates a perspective view of a loaded cartridge, in which the letter A
refers to the transparent wad or covering of celluloid peroxiline, or other
transparent material; B shows the shot as seen through the transparent wad.
This cartridge is loaded by means of several of the ordinary wads, but the last wad,
which is a transparent wad, is easily discernible as I have designated it by the
letter A. This wad, A, is so transparent that, upon a glance, the user sees the
shot contained within the cartridge, as will be apparent on reference to the letter, B.
In using my improved cartridge, I have been greatly assisted in the country when
suddenly I had occasion to change the size of my shot as, in using my cartridge,
it only required a momentary glance at the end of my case to determine the size
of the shot therein contained. Previously, when using the old cartridge, I had
been greatly embarrassed at times by finding the old cartridge number, which it
was customary to imprint on the opaque covering, entirely obliterated, thus
causing me to be compelled to extract the wadding to determine the size of the
shot therein contained. By the use of my improved cartridge this difficulty is
entirely obviated. Furthermore, the composition of my wadding is waterproof,
and the occasional spoiling of the sportsman's cartridge by accidental contact with
water is entirely obviated by employing my cartridge.
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 transparent wad or covering placed on top of the shot and in the case of a
cartridge in lieu of paper or any other opaque substance heretofore used, so as
to enable the user to determine at a glance the size of the shot therein
contained.
2. A transparent wad or covering made of waterproof material, used to confine
the shot in a loaded cartridge in its customary place, and placed on top of the
shot and in the case in lieu of the customary opaque substance, so as to edable
the user to determine at a glance the size of the shot therein contained, substantially
as herein described.

I ARCHIBALD MACPHERSON Architect 7 Young Street Edinburgh 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 in the case say of a domestic fireplace being to extract as much
heat as possible and then to radiate that heat back into the apartment to be
warmed this is to be accomplished by increasing the area of the radiating surface
by fluting chanelling facetting or otherwise so forming the surface of the side or
back covings but the latter especially and particularly the upper and overhanging
parts of same as to give this increased area and increased capacity for radiation as
well as for the more perfect combustion which would result. The principle is
applicable to stoves and furnaces. For example the side flues of the latter having
the fire bricks made either with a protuberance on the surface of each forming a
channelling of the whole surface or fluted or corrugated in continuous lines
horizontal or raking are adapted to intercept and retain a considerable amount of
heat which would otherwise pass off to the chimney. The result is increase of
radiated heat and more perfect combustion. In the case of stoves for heating
apartments it is purposed to use or apply the corrugated et cetera surfaces to warm
air flues also.
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
(1) The formation of the parts of fireplaces stoves or furnaces as above described
with surfaces adapted to intercept and retain and also radiate heat such as fluted,
chanelled, facetted or other like surfaces on straight or curved planes of fireclay
or other refractory material.

An Improved Floor for Baking Ovens.
I, JOSEPH KALIX Senior of Péczel No. 67, IIungary, Baher, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to au improved floor for baking ovens. Heretofore it has
been usual to cover the floors of baking ovens with clay which is stamped of
pressed after being laid. In this manner a smooth but not even floor is produced
in the oven. This stamping has also the defective result that the clay ouly at the
surface receives a compact layer and remains loose underneath such layer. This
thin hard layer becomes readily burnt out and thus the oven necessitates ficquent
repairing or a fresh clay charge to be stamped thereon.
To avoid these defects is the object of this invention, which cousists in using
pressed clay-tiles."
The clay is pressed in known tile moulding machines to form tiles of uniform
dimensione.
The bottom of the oven is covered with the tiles so produced, care being taken
that the bottom is properly levelled beforehand. Thus a smooth and durable floor
18 produced.

An Improved Glue or Size, and Process of Manufacturing same.
We, EDUARD SCHMAHL and FRITZ FELLER both of 124 Wilhelmstrasse,
Berlin, in the Empire of Germany Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The usual glues or sizes have the disadvantage as a result of the drying up of
the solid-liquefying agent such for example as salammoniac (which is contained
therein and is not capable of binding) of becoming brittle and of crumbling away
and therefore of no longer fulfilling their main object which is to effect an
indivisible or strong union of the objects glued together.
Now this disadvantage is obviated according to the present invention by means
of an addition of glycerine to the glue in the liquid state. The glycerine renders
the glue supple so that the said glue when used and dry remains firmly combined
with the crystallizing salammoniac and thus prevents the separation and crumbling
away of the salammoniac crystals from the dry glue.
The addition of glycerine furthermore enables liquid glue or size to be used for
preparing glue or size colours which use has hitherto been disadvantageous on
account of the cracking separating and crumbling away of the particles of colouring
matter.
In carrying this invention into practice for example 100 kilogrammes of boiling
glue or size water are mixed with about 15 kilogrammes of salammoniac and
2 to 5 kilogrammes of glycerine the whole being stirred up together. The
quantities herein stated may however vary according to the properties it is desired
that the glue shall have.
In place of salammoniac other substances such as saltpetre may be employed
which act to cause liquefaction of the glue.
In preparing the new glue colour the colouring matter is mixed and stirred up
with the liquid glue either immediately during the preparation thereof or only at
the time of use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
1. The herein-described process of making glue by the addition of glycerine to
the glue or size that has been mixed with a liquefying agent (such as for instance
salammoniac) with the object of preventing the glue or size when used and dry from
cracking and crumbling away.
2. Glue or size having glycerine and a liquefying agent such as salammoniac
mixed and combined therewith substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.

A Label Clip.
I, ALFRED HILLYER, of 118 Earl's Court Road, in the County of London,
Draper, 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 simple and inexpensive clip whereby a label can be
conveniently and expeditiously attached to a piece of fabric or to an article of
dress, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective shewing one form of clip according to my invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan of the blank from which it is made.
Fig. 3 shews a clip somewhat modified, Fig. 4 shewing the blank for it, and
Fig. 5 shewing a part of the label attached by it."
Referring first to Figs. 1 and 2, 1 punch or cut a blank A of elastic sheet metal,
with serrated edges B, and slit it at the sides so as to leave tongues C that can be
bent from the general plane. I bend upwards the serrated margins along the
lines b, and bend the whole blank along the middle line a; I also bend the
tongues backwards along the lines c. I engage the piece of fabric F or other
like article between the edges B, and I engage the label L or ticket which has to
be attached to it between the tongues C. The two sets of jaws B and C, owing to
the elasticity of the metal, press between them the fabric and the label respectively,
securing them together. The serrations B may in some cases be dispensed with,
and in some cases the edges C may be serrated.
Referring now to Figs. 3, 4 and 5, instead of four tongues C as in Figs. 1 and 2,
I employ only two tongues C which 1 bend so as to form hooks which engage in
slits cut in the two sides of the label L as shewn in Fig. 5.
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 label clip having two pairs of jaws, the one pair to clamp a piece of fabric
or the like, the other to clamp a label, substantially as described with reference to
Figs. 1 and 2.
2. A modified label clip, having a pair of jaws to clamp the fabric and a pair of
books to engage in slits of the label, substantially as described with reference to

Improvements in Nails for Rails and the like.
I, WILLIAM BESTWICK MAXFIELD of No. 19 Bowling Green Street, Leicester
in the County of Leicester, Registered Patent Agent (a communication from
Heinrich Christian Rumpf Manufacturer, of Dahlhausen on the Ruhr, 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 improvements in nails or spikes to be used for permanent
ways in laying down rails for railway or tramway tracks. The object being to
produce a nail or spike with a barbed stem, rolled out of shaped iron to the form
shown in the drawings with either one or two heads, as seen in Figures 1, 2 and 3
of the accompanying drawings in which :-
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a rail nail provided with barbed points and head
according to this invention.
Figure 2 a view showing sections of a number of the rail nails made out of the
shaped iron, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view of a rolled double nail with two adjoining heads.
The letters of reference represent like parts in all the figures.
To carry out my invention, for ordinary shaped iron, the stem a head band
points or rolled barbs c are made as shown in cross section "Figure 1."
Upon the two opposite edges or surfaces of the stem of the nail are barbed
points c to the number as desired; said projections serving as counter hooks in
gripping the material into which they are driven. The said nails or spikes are
formed by cutting the shaped iron in a transverse direction, "as seen in dotted line
Figure 2," and the shaped iron is formed by rolling in the ordinary manner.
In reference to Figure 3 of the drawings, a double shaped iron (producing two
nails at one cut made as above stated in a transverse direction) is shown which
are of great advantage to the manufacturer inasmuch that they can be produced
so much cheaper.
The form of the shaped iron, size and number of rolled lines c, differ according
to the number of barbed points desired in the nail or spike, and according to the
purpose for which they are required, and also according to size.
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
The manufacture of nails or spikes made out of rolled shaped iron in such a
manner that they can be cut from a long bar, and having formed therein a stem a,
head b, and barbed points c, the latter acting as counter hooks; the said rolled
shaped iron being either single or double, the latter with adjoining heads; and
being cut off or severed out of the width of the same bar. Substantially as
described.

I, PAUL BRUNS, of Brackwede, Germany, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in roofing tiles, each tile consisting of two
separate plates combined and connected together by ribs and grooves as illustrated
on the accompanying sheet of drawings in which-
Figure 1 is a riew of a number of the improved tiles connected together and
Figs. 2 and 3 are two views of one of the tiles.
Each tile consists of two plates a and b of double lozenge or rhomboidal shape.
The plates ab are arranged over each other in steps and so joined as to form
a single body; on one side of each plate a groove or grooves d are provided
and into these, ribs or projections on the next plate are fitted. In order to obtain
the required off-set between two plates of equal height the other side of each plate
is provided with a rib h of corresponding depth along the lower edge or instead of
a single rib a number of such ribs may be formed and further each tile has a nose
or projection e by which it is suspended from the joist or rafter e.
The rows of tiles are connected with each other as indicated in the drawings in
a simple and convenient manner without the necessity of filling up the joints with
mortar or any similar substance.
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 roofing tiles each consisting of two plates or tablets of rhomboidal
shape arranged and (as it were) suspended over each other after the manner of
steps, and provided along the sides respectively with grooves and ribs fitting each
other, or simply, each with a rib or flange projecting from the top of one plate and
from the lower part of the other plate; the top plate being, moreover, fitted with
a suspending nose or projection all substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Studs and Solitaires.
I ADOLPHUS FRANCIS GENLAIN, of Tower House, Swiss Road, Weston-super-
Mare, Professor 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 :-
Object of the above named: In devising a new form of studs and solitaires, the
aim has been to improve upon the existing mode of putting the same ou and off
and reduce the operation to absolute simplicity.
Description of the said :-The herein submitted form of studs, or solitaires, has
the usual base (1) to which the shank proper (2) is soldered in the ordinary way.
but this shank, instead of being straight and round all the way up, is flat from
midway to top (3)-and this flat part, which is about as wide as the stud, is of the
thickness requisite (4) to furnish the means to connect the flaps thereto-those
means of connection consist of eyes (5) projecting from, and forming one, with
the shank proper-now that part of the flaps, which comes in close contact
with the aforesaid eyes, is shaped just as that individual part of an ordinary
door hinge (6) through which the spindle passes; and the flaps are 80
contrived at this part (7) Figs. 4 and 5, as to work at once independently and
yet properly and harmoniously-The spindle, which passes through the eyes (6).
Fig. 3, and base of flaps, completes the parts.
Clearly then, there are four integral parts: 1st the base (1) Fig. 1-2nd the-
shank (2) Fig. 1-3rd the spindle, the end of which is seen at (6) Fig. 3-
4th the flaps, which last form the top of stud or solitaire (8) Figs. 4 and 5.
The following, with due reference to sheet of drawing, will help to make matters.
clear:-
In assimilating the flaps proper to a pair of hinges, attached to the shank by the-
aid of eyes, as manifest at (7) Fig. 4, plus the spindle, the description of the
character and working of the stud or solitaire top is at once comprehensible.
Now, to insert stud or solitaire in the button-hole, the two Haps are first brought.
close to, as in Fig. 6, then pushed through the slit, when pressing down the flaps
completes the operation, when stud or solitaire in situ shows as at Fig. 7, end wise,.
and at Fig. 8, broadside on.

An Improved Hematite Slag Manure.
I, HERBERT PIKE PEASE, Normanby Iron Works, Middlesbrough, in the
County of York, Ironmaster, 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 mineral manure for use upon all kinds of
soils. It is composed of granulated slag, or scoria, and chloride of sodium. The
slag, or scoria, is obtained from blast furnaces, during the process of the manufacture
of pig iron from hematite ores, and it is granulated, mechanically. It is effective
against insects, slugs, worms, and the like, and is especially good for peaty and
heavy soils, opening them, and supplying them with lime, silica, alumina, magnesia,
sulphur, carbon, alkalies, protoxide of manganese, and protoxide of iron. By its
granular form, and insolubility in water, it has a mechanical action in aerating the soil.
The chloride of sodium, also, a mineral manure, acts chemically, and mechanically on
the land, producing beneficial changes on farm crops. It destroys weeds, insects,
snails, slugs, and the like, retains moisture in dry, sandy land, strengthens straw, and
at same time, checks its abnormal growth, it hastens the decomposition of organic
matter, the ammonia of which, it, at the same time, "fixes." It acts chemically on
the soil's inert ingredients, decomposing carbonate of lime, forming sodium
carbonate, which has the power of dissolving silica, and thereby provides, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, and the like, with that compound. It is intermixed thoroughly
with the granulated slag, or scoria, in either a solid, or fluid form, in the proportion
of 5 per cent. to 95 per cent. of granulated slag.
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 use of granulated slag, or scoria, obtained in the manner above described,
in combination with chloride of sodium.
