An Improved Artificial Marble.
I, HEINRICH BRUCK, of Frankenstein, Silesia, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED
ARTIFICIAL MARBLE, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to an improved artificial marble for furniture
making and other purposes consisting of a mass which may be cast into moulds and
when dried and polished forms a hard and durable slab for covering washstands,
tables and such like articles.
The mass which is mixed with water consists-apart from the coloring which it
may be desirous to add-of a mixture of magnesia carbonate of lime, quicklime,
silicic acid, argillaceous earth and chloride of magnesium, in about the following
proportions :
2 parts magnesia.
2
""
lime and quicklime.
1 part carbonic acid.
"
"
"
silicic acid.
argillaceous earth.
chloride of magnesium.
'
This mass to which may be added a suitable amount of colour for toning and
coloring the same, is poured into moulds in which a jute fabric is preferably
arranged. After having been dried the article is polished when the surface will
not be affected by water, may be readily washed and is as smooth as glass. The
object of the jute fabric is to bind the marmorit imparting to the same in addition
to its own strength increased toughness.
Marmorit has the advantage over other masses of the kind, that the materials
employed for making the same are very cheap and also that it may be made of any
desired colour or shade.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
An imitation marble mass called "Marmorit" consisting of a mixture of magnesia,
carbonate of lime, quicklime, silicic acid, argillaceous earth and chloride of
magnesium, mixed with water and coloring matter and then cast or poured into
moulds substantially as described.

Improvements in Stoppering Bottles and other Vessels.
I FERDINAND SCHMIDT of 6 Rückerstrasse Berlin in the Empire of Germany
Manufacturor 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 :—
In stoppering bottles and other vessels according to the invention' hereinaftor
described the stopper proper consists of two parts a and b between which is arranged
a ring o of india rubber.
A bolt d is screwed into the lower part b and turns in the part a of the stopper.
Above the part a is placed a bearing disc e upon which the wedge.f bears.
This wedge can be moved within a slot formed in the bolt d and bears against
the upper part thereof being further provided at each end with a disc h h rivetted
thereon and serving as pressure pieces to close and open the stoppering device while
at the same time preventing the wedge from leaving the bolt d.
i is a ring at the upper end of the bolt to facilitate the withdrawal and insertion
of the stopper. When applying this stoppering device to a receptacle such as a
bottle for instance (Figure 1) the parts a and b are inserted in the neck of this
bottle and the ring c is compressed or contracted in such a manner that the wedge
is pressed forward in the direction of the arrow 1 whereby the same comes to bear
against the disc e by means of its straight under surface and thus presses the ring u
upon the india rubber ring e and presses the latter against the neck of the bottle.
To release the device the wedge is moved in the direction of the arrow 2.
Figure 2 and the two parts of the stopper a and bare withdrawn as well as the
ring c. Each time the wedge is pushed in the direction of the arrow 1 Fig. 1 the
india rubber ring is compressed.
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 :-
A stoppering device for bottles and other vessels consisting of the conically
shaped part connected with the bolt d of the second and likewise conically shaped
part a having a compressible india rubber ring c between the two and of the wedge f
moving in the bolt it pressed against the disc e of the part a and furnished at both
ends with dises to prevent the wedge dropping away from the bolt substantially
in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
drawings hereunto annexed.

Improvements in Tubes, Spindles, Handles, Supports, Oval-knobs,
and Ball, and other similar Articles, and in the Manufacture of
the same.
I, EDWIN TAYLOR, of Alfred Street, Warstone Lane, Birmingham, Warwickshire,
Stamper & Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in tubes, spindles, handles,
supports, oval knobs, and ball, and other similar articles and in the manufacture
of the same which are less complicated and are more simply manufactured than,
at present and they are a better article when done besides the expense of tools
is less.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
illustrated two examples of my invention which will serve to enable others to
produce those and similar articles without difficulty.
Figure 1., shews an ornamental handle in elevation.
Figure 2., is a cross section of the same shewing how it is put together.
Figure 3., is an elevation of a plain tube.
Figure 4., is a cross section of the tube shewn by Figure 3 in elevation.
My invention refers to the articles hereinbefore enumerated and similar articles
whether plain, fluted, ornamental or otherwise. In making such articles I form my
dies so as to produce a male and female joint such as that shewn at a¹ Figure 2 in
making the handle or other similar article A Figure 1. The other die strikes the
corresponding half of the handle or other article a² which fits into the part a'. I
then braze or solder these together either at the junction a³ or a* or a³ or through-
out as the case may be.
Figures 3 and 4 show a plain tube and a slight modification in the mode of
forming the joint which is still more simple as both halves of the tube B are
duplicates so far as the joint is concerned as the dies only require to shoulder the
edges which come against each other flat as seen at Figure 4 when they are
brazed or soldered together between the faces or at the outer edge or inner
part
only. This flanging may form a part of the ornamentation of either tubes
handles or other similar articles and may be worked in any suitable metal.
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 improvements in tubes, spindles; handles, supports, oval knobs, and other
similar articles and in the manufacture of the same by means of a brazed or
soldered joint as formed at Figures 2 & 4 substantially as and for the purpose set
forth and as illustrated.

I, PAUL REUSs, Manufacturer, of Artern, in the Kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire, 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 :—
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 shows the sack lifter in section on the line X-X of Figure 4.
Figure 2 is a side view shewing the drawing out arrangement in its usual
position.
Figure 3 is a side view in which the apparatus is fixed.
Figure 4 shows the front view of the apparatus.
Figure 5 shews the cog wheel G.
The apparatus consists of the frame A, the plate B on this frame which can be
moved up and down, the chain barrel C with the chain D and the fixing arrange-
ment H. This consists of the peculiarly bent rods E which are toothed at their
upper ends and gear with the cog wheel G which is furnished with a handle F by
which the motion and position of the ties H is determined. The apparatus is fitted
to run upon the wheels J.
The peculiar curve on the upper ends of the rods E causes the said rods when
put in motion by the wheel G to go at first backwards after which they move
directly downwards when the wheel gears with the straight teeth and the apparatus
is fixed on its upright position.
To work the apparatus it is wheeled or driven to the sack under which the plate B
is pushed.
The apparatus is then made fast by the drawing out arrangement E and by
turning the crank the plate bearing the sack is raised to such a height as enables
the workman to lift it on his shoulder with ease.
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 :-
A combined trolly and sack lifter constructed and arranged to operate as herein-
before described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

description.
a is the lower die-plate in which are engraved or otherwise recessed the letters,
figures, symbols and the like; b is a hinged double frame surrounding the said
die-plate a. This frame b is maintained in its closed condition by a bolt or pin c
provided with a handle. d is the press plunger carrying the upper die-plate f
which closely fits the frame b. Upon the lower surface of this upper die-plate f
are cut out in relief, letters, figures or the like exactly corresponding to those of
the recessed lower die-plate.
Upon this lower plate a liquid glass is spread in as even a layer as possible the
quantity of glass being in excess of that which would suffice to fill up the recesses
of the plate a.
The upper die-plate f is then lowered and while moulding the
letters, forms a continuous plate of the superfluous glass so that the letters or the
like when they become hard are connected with each other by the said continuous
plate and may be along with the latter removed from the die-or mould. The
plate thus obtained will obviously bear the letters or characters in relief on the
side corresponding to the recessed die-plate a and corresponding recesses on the side
moulded by the plate f.
To sever the letters or characters the glass is simply cut with a diamond along
the sides of the last mentioned recessed portions of the plate and then the thin
connection between the different letters or figures may be easily broken. Even an
unskilled operative will be able to carry out this cutting operation regularly
unassisted by a straight-edge.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents, and in what manner
the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is ;-
1. The process of moulding or pressing letters figures or like articles or characters
of glass consisting in supplying the moulds or dies with a quantity of liquid glass
in excess of that required for filling the recesses thereof and in utilizing the
superfluous glass to form a plate connecting the different letters figures and the
like with each other so that they leave the mould as one continuous piece
substantially as described.

1, VINCENT FAVA WOOD, of 3 Saint Andrew Street, London, 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:—
This invention is designed to prevent the deformity of projecting ears, a defect
which is often caused in childhood by sleeping with the ear directly beneath the
head, the lobe of the ear being often bent forward over the aperture of the organ.
This practice causes the lobe to project from the head in an unsightly manner.
To obviate this defect I employ a light cap formed of a triangular or nearly
triangular piece of cloth, which is placed on the crown of the head. Attached to
this cap are tapes or ribbons forming strings for the cap, and these carry pads which
cover the ear and keep it flat to the head.
•
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which is shewn a head with my contrivance in position.
a is the cap, b the string. c the pad. d is a piece of elastic material which may
if preferred be inserted above the pad, and which enables the pad to be adjusted to
the position of the ear. The cap may or may not extend over the ear as preferred.
Another advantage obtained by wearing my improved cap at night is that by
means of the strings which are tied under the chin, the mouth of the wearer can be
kept closed, whereby snoring is prevented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. A cap of light material for night wear furnished with pads to cover and
compress the ears, said pads being mounted on strings which strings may be formed
wholly or in part of elastic material, as herein described and set forth.

Improvements connected with Corsets.
I ADOLPHE ROSENTHAL of 30 London Wall in the City of London Corset
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:
This invention relates to a means for connecting the steel stiffeners of corsets
wheroby great strength and rigidity is given to them and they are prevented from
Bo quickly working through their sheaths as. they do when each stiffener is inde-
pendont of the other in its sheath. The connecting means being such as will enable
the stiffenors to be disconnected to allow of the.corset being rolled up and enable
broken parts to be readily replaced. To enable my invention to be fully under-
stood I will proceed to fully describe the same with the aid of the accompanying
drawings which is a perspective view of a part of a corset.
According to this invention the straight stiffener or busk part A has attached to
it an additional stud B.to connect one end of stiffener C by a pivotted link D made
with a keyhole slot E for disconnection. The stiffener C is placed diagonally and has
a stud Fat other end to connect it to the next stiffener G by a pivotted link H,
also made with a keyhole slot for disconnection purposes; this stiffener G is also
placed diagonally and connected at the other end to the straight back stiffener J
by a rivetted link K.
Disconnecting the links D and H will allow the corset to be rolled up.
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 :--
Connecting stiffeners of corsets so that they may be disconnected at will sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Shank applicable to the Waist of Boots, Shoes,
Slippers, or any other kind of Foot-gear.
I, EDWARD DUNMORE of Freeschool Street, Northampton in the County of
Northampton, Leather 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 an Improved Shank applicable to the Waist of Boots,
Shoes, Slippers, or any other kind of Foot-gear; the said shank being formed of
india rubber or any composition of which india rubber forms a component part the
same shape and acting as a substitute for the leather, steel, or cane shank, now in
ordinary use.
In carrying out my invention, I proceed as follows:-
I form a shank of suitable size which shall be inserted in the waist of the boot,
shoe, slipper or any other kind of foot gear, during the process of manufacturing;
between the inner and outer sole, and which shall be formed of india-rubber or any
composition of which india rubber forms a component part, the said shank to be of
the same shape and size also acting as a substitute for the leather, steel or canc
shank now in general use, and will differ in size in the same way as the ordinary
leather, steel or cane shank according to the various description and make of the
said boot, shoe, slipper or other foot-gear. The said shank may be attached to the
sole in the usual manner or left loose, and sometimes I apply a solution to make it
adhere either to the inner or outer sole or to both when necessary. In some cases
I form a groove or grooves by the aid of a machine in either the inner or outer sole
or in both when required, to receive the said shank; and in others I place the
shank between the said soles without grooving. My improved shank may be used
either in rivetted, pegged, screwed, machine sewn, welted, hand sewn or in any
other process of manufacturing boots, shoes slippers, or any other kind of foot-gear.
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 :-
First. Far greater elasticity making the rivetted, screwed and pegged boot or
shoe, when fitted up with my improved shank nearly as pliable as the machine
sewn welted or hand sewn, all of which will be rendered more pliable than hitherto
made.
Secondly. Greatly reducing the sound in the act of walking and effectually
preventing any creaking in the waist.
Thirdly. By grooving the outer or inner sole, I reduce the weight of the boot or
shoe and allow for the full expansion of the shank.
Fourthly. The improvement in the construction of the shank, being substantially
as and for the purpose herein described.
Fifthly. Giving greater case and comfort.

Improvements in Paraffin Lamp Burners.
I, ISAAC SHERWOOD, Junior, of 44 to 50 Granville Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Lamp 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 object of this invention is to improve the lighting power of paraffin lamps,
and to keep the lamp cool.
It is applicable to that kind of lamp having a round wick and spreader, and is
carried out as hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing,
which is a section through the burner.
A is the spreader, B is a tube perforated in such a manner as to allow the air to
pass between the spreader and the wick for the purpose of directing the light
outwards, C is a cavity formed by two tubes into which the air enters at the
windguard E and passes upwards through the gauze F and finds its exit at G, the
tendency being to cause the flame to burn in an upward direction, thus the air
passing through the tube B will be partly counteracted and the two draughts cause
the light to form a graceful flame round the spreader.
The tube Biests upon the rim H and is made moveable and the perforations in the
same are preferably of "eight hole perforated brass."
The wick moves up and down with the tube K, the said tube being perforated
for a pinion to work in, in the usual manner.
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 :-
A paraffin lamp burner consisting of the parts arranged and combined as
substantially set forth in this Specification and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.

Improvements in Sleeve-links for Gentlemen's Cuffs.
I, Lieutenant MICHAEL AUGUSTUS TIGIE, of Indian Staff Corps The Cottage,
Shalford, Guildford, 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 improvements in the construction of sleeve-links, and
has for its especial object to provide simple and efficient means whereby the links
may be placed on the sleeves, with much less difficulty than is experienced with
the links now in ordinary use, and also without bruising or damaging the
linen cuff.
To better explain the details of my said invention, I append the accompanying
sheet of drawings, in which
Figure 1 represents a pair of ordinary sleeve-links with my improvements attached
thereto, the links are shown in clevation and to an enlarged scale.
Figure 2 shews a plan of one link only.
In the place of the ordinary ring or staple at the back of the link, I provide a
piece of metal, preferably round in section and arranged on the back of each link
as shown at A A in Figures 1 and 2, (for convenience I term this device the wedge
staple A). One end of this said wedge staple A is attached to the edge of the link
at the narrowest part of the same, and from that point the wedge staple inclines or
slopes upwards, until it comes to the centre of the link, where it is formed into a
ring and is again fastened at this point to the back of the link. This ring
termination is designed to receive the chain link, B, which connects the two halves
of the sleeve-link.
My object in forming the staple A in the form described, is to cause it to make
in conjunction with the link, a kind of wedge, and by which means the whole can
be slipped into the button-hole quite easily, and the necessity for wrenching the
same into position is entirely obviated.
I have in this case shown only one arm to the staple A, but I may use two or
more such arms, so as to form a wedge shape on all portions of the link if desired,
or the back of the link may form a solid slope and at the apex of a truncated cone
which the back of the link would then form, the ring, could be recessed so as to.
connect cach link together to form the device.
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 improved link or couplet for use in the cuffs of gentlemen's shirts arranged
and formed substantially as herein before described in this Specification and illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.
(2) In links or couplets the sloping arm A at the back of each link arranged &
formed substantially as hereinbefore described in this Specification and illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Machines for Cutting Cacao, Chocolate, and the
like into Pieces.
A communication from HEINRICH WILHELM SCHRADER, of Kirchstrasse 2,
Plauen, Saxony, in the German Empire, Smith.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E., 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 herein described refers to a machine which serves to cut into
pieces blocks of cacao and chocolate cast into moulds.
In the accompanying drawings;—
Fig. 1 is a cross section and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the machine;
Figs. 3 and 4 represent details.
The block is put into the aperture 6 of the case a, the width of this aperture
being changeable, according to the thickness of the block to be cut, by turning
the hand-wheels cc' and thus moving the plate d fixed on the screw-rods e.
The blocks are cut on the one hand by the vertical and substantially circular
knives or blades 9 (Figs. 3, 4) fixed on the shaft and kept at equal distances
apart by the bolts h, and on the other hand by the knives or blades i fixed
obliquely on the discs k so that the whole length of their edge will not begin to cụt
at the same time but only one point of it.
The cut mass falls through the funnel o into a suitable receiver placed below it.
The block descends by its own weight.
The machine may be operated by means of a crank handle on the fly-wheel n, or
by power transmitted through the pulley m.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In a machine for cutting cacao and chocolate and the like the combination
with approximately circular knives or blades such as g fixed upon a shaft ƒ of
oblique knives or blades such as i revolving with the knives g the whole constructed
and operating substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete machine
for cutting cacao chocolate and the like substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Releasing or Safety Buckle for Stirrup Leathers.
I BENJAMIN SAMUEL WESTON Engineer of 5 Parkholme Road Dalston in the
County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED RELEASING OR SAFETY BUCKLE FOR STIRRUP LEATHERS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This is an improvement upon the safety suspender for stirrup leathers No. 573384
its object being to reduce as much as possible, the lump or projection under the
riders leg caused by the buckle of the stirrup leather marked A. Fig. 1 which in
the ordinary process of length adjustment, adds the thickness of the buckle A to
that of the loop B as shown (drawn to scale).
By the combination of the tongue hook C direct with the stirrup buckle A shown
front view Fig. 2 much of this projection is avoided as shown Fig. 3 the buckle A
being raised somewhat higher comes close under the bar D.
The releasing action is the same as that described in the before mentioned
Specification, the bar there shown being used.
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 of the tongue hook C hinged to the stirrup leather buckle A
Fig. 2 substantially as herein described.
