Improved Manufacture of Soluble Capsules for Meat Extracts, Gravies,
and similar Substances.
I EUGEN LAHR, Apothecary, of Eschau in the Kingdom of Bavaria do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of capsules or cases soluble in water for
containing extracts of meat, soups, gravies and similar substances and consists in an
improved manufacture of said capsules or cases, the object of my invention being to
prevent their being attacked and destroyed by the water and salt contained in said
extracts.
The capsules with meat extracts sold hitherto have the defect that these capsules
consisting of a thin sheet of gelatine are rapidly attacked and totally destroyed in
few weeks by the water and salt contained in the extracts. This dissolution of the
capsules is caused by the direct contact of the extracts and salt contained therein
with the gelatine. My improvement consists in preventing this contact by coating
the capsule or case of gelatine after it has been made and dried with a thin layer of
fat and filling in the meat extract and salt or similar substance after the layer of fat has
set on the capsule or case. The extract and salt will then be only in contact with the
layer of fat and the gelatine capsule or case will not be touched by them and remain
durable, while the addition of fat is advantageous to the soups or sauces prepared
with the extracts and similar substances.
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
Firstly. The manufacture of soluble capsules or cases for meat extracts gravies
and similar substances substantially as herein before described.
Secondly. Coating the inside of gelatine capsules or cases for meat extracts gravies
and similar substances with a layer of fat substantially as hereinbefore described and
for the purpose set forth.

Improvement in Springs to be used in Fur and other Garments.
I, MARY JANE REDGATE, (trading as the Redgate Coy.) Furriers, and Perambulator
Manufacturers, of 20, Old Haymarket, Sheffield, in the County of York, 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:-
Improvements in springs to be used in fur and other garments, and which I accom-
plish (by preference) as follows:-I take two pieces of flat spring steel or other
suitable material, and form the same to the configuration of the chest or bust of the
wearer, these I attach to another piece formed to fit the neck, the whole being inserted
inside or attached to any fur or other uper garment such as collarettes, capes, boas,
jackets &c.
It will be seen by reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, Fig. 1 that
when the improved spring is not in use, the ends of the neck piece A A, to which
are attached the bust springs B B, project beyond or lap over each other, but when in
use they butt against each other as at Fig. 2, thus obviating the necessity of having
hooks, eyes, or buttons to fasten the same.
To secure the lower end of chest or bust spring, I use a stud C, and eyelet D, as
commonly used in stay busks, or other suitable means.
The improved spring can be made in one piece, so that the rivetted joints of neck
and bust spring EE can be avoided, but by preference I make the springs substantially
as shewn on the sheet of drawings.
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:
1st. A spring to be used in fur and other uper garments, such as collarrettes, capes,
boas or jackets (made to fit the bust and neck) in one or more pieces, in spring
steel or other suitable material, and substantially as shewn on annexed sheet of
drawings.

I, JACOB BÜCKING, of 21 Kupfergasse, Cologne, Germany, 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 has for its objects to render the operation of pedalling more easy for
the rider to enable a greater speed to be attained; and to enable the rider to vary the
speed at any moment by merely shifting his feet.
Two cranks are employed each of which is provided with a pedal lever; upon these
lovers the rider places his feet the movements of which are transmitted through the
levers to an intermediate wheel of tolerably large diameter the rotary motion of which
is transmitted by a belt or strap to another wheel that is fixed on the axle of the two
hind wheels which constitute the driving wheels.
Reference is made to the annexed sheet of illustrative drawings in which Fig. 1 is a
side elevation of a tricycle showing the application of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a rear end elevation, and
Fig. 3 a plan of the same.
On the front or steering wheel is mounted as usual the steering bar / provided with
brake and bell (not shown).
The connection of the front wheel with the two hind wheels is effected by means of
the steering bar and the fork-shaped back bone 6 which is attached to the axle a of
the two hind wheels.
Between the two arms of the fork b is located an intermediate wheel which is
mounted on an axle d resting in bearings in the lower ends of supports c c carried by
the arms of the fork b.
The axle d is furnished at each end with a crank k connected by a rod e with one
end of a pedal-lever t.
The other ends of these levers t are jointed at 2 to rods or links
suspended at f from the arms of the fork b.
The two rods or links may also carry at their lower ends an

Improved Means for Advertising.
I, MAARTEN BUYSMAN of Middelburg Netherlands, 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 :-
The following invention relates to the utilisation of cigars and cigarettes for
advertising purposes. The method adopted as shown in the accompanying drawings,
is the addition of one or more strips of paper 6 of suitable length and width, upon
which the advertisements are printed, and which are wound around the cigar a as
shown, forming a neat annular projection thereon. As the cigar is consumed the
strips of paper are released and unwound so that the notices printed thereon become
visible.
If one considers the large number of cigars and similar articles which daily change
hands it is evident that it would be difficult to devise any more extended and rapid
means of diffusing information.
These advertising cigars involve an important economical benefit to the nation, in
that as they pay duty their increased consumption would be productive of increased
receipts for the Treasury. Should the price be reasonable as the consumption becomes
greater the quantity of tobacco imported will increase, and there will flow in a corre-
sponding increase of duty to the State.
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 adaptation of cigars or cigarettes for advertising or similar purposes by
winding around them one or more strips of paper furnished with announcements or
notices the said strips being of any desired length and of suitable width, for the
purpose of attaining the widest possible diffusion of such notices, as herein explained
and setforth.

A Fastening for Handles of Tools.
I. JULIUS WEISS, of No. 9, Sophienblatt, Kiel in the Kingdom of Prussia, and
German Empire Railway police inspector, do hereby declare the nature of this Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention refers to a secure iron or steel wedge fastening of the handles in
hatchets, axes, picks, heavy hammers and the like and will be more clearly understood
when described with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which-
Figure 1 shows the wedge in front elevation.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
Figure 3 is a vertical cross section of a hatchet with the wedge applied thereto,
and
Figure 4 is an elevation thereof.
The wedge e has a section somewhat the form of a fish, that is to say, it is pointed
at each end and forms a more acute angle at one end than at the other.
At its widest part it is provided with a round hole for the insertion of a rivet a
serving to fix it in position. The thinner pointed end of the wedge e, which points to
the outer end when let into the handle c, is provided with serrations & in such manner
that the points or edges of the same are in the direction shown.
The invention essentially consists in the form of the wedge sharpened at both ends
and in the necessary peculiar mode of application (mortising) and rivetting of the
same, whereby the handle c is not only securely held in the tool, but whereby also if
the handle should get dry and shrink during use, the tool can never become slack or
loose. The front end of the handle being a little conical as usual the tool cannot
slide back towards the hand while the teeth & take up the pressure produced by the
centrifugal force.
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. A fastening for handles of tools consisting of a fish shaped or double ended
wedge with serrations which is fixed in the tool by means of a rivet substantially as
described.
2. The construction of fastening as shewn on the drawing.

page_text: Improvements in Bottle Stoppers.
I FRANCIS FANSHAW WOLSTENHOLME of 64 and 66 Holly Street, Sheffield in the
County of York, Ivory Cutter do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BOTTLE STOPPERS" and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved method of stoppering any kind of bottles
filled with liquid which it is necessary to keep air tight.
In the construction of this invention I take a bottle of any desired size and shape
to contain either wines, ales, beer, porter, mineral waters, and other liquids required
to be kept air tight, having an ordinary internal screw neck with a flange at the
bottom.
The stopper has a he screw to correspond with the she screw in the neck of the
bottle, but not so long as to screw to the flange before named.
At the bottom of the stopper is formed a suitable dove-tail to receive a piece of
cork, india-rubber, or other suitable material having a projection in shape to correspond
with the dove-tail in the stopper, or the cork may be grooved and a projection formed
on the stopper.
The said stopper may be made in glass, earthenware, pot, composition, or other
suitable material.
The chief feature of this invention being that the contents of the bottle are kept air
tight by the pressure, which compresses the cork to the flange or seat in the bottle
neck, also that it being cork or other like material coming next-the liquid does not
taint it.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention the same letters of reference
apply to the different views.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the stopper shewing the groove A.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the piece of cork B.
Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a section in elevation of the bottle shewing the stopper A and cork B

page_text: 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 method of stoppering bottles containing liquid required to be kept
air tight and from tasting of the stopper, by means of a screw stopper made of any
suitable material having dove-tailed to the bottom thereof a piece of cork or such other
substance that will not taint the liquid.

A communication from ALEXANDER GILLIES, of the Village of West Toronto
Junction, in the County of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, Mechanic.
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 object of the invention is to design an exceptionally-strong wheel from the
lightest possible material; and it consists, essentially, in forming the rim out of a
light metal tube secured to the hub of the wheel Ly means of light metal tubular
spokes, the outer ends of the tubular spokes being connected to the rim by metal
clips shaped to fit the surface of the rim to which they are secured by screws.
Figure 1, is a perspective sectional view of this improved wheel.
A, represents the rim which is formed of a light tube. B, represents the spokes
which are made of light metal tubes screwed into and radiating from the hub, C.
D, represents metal clips shaped to fit the surface of the rim, A, to which they are
secured by means of the screws or bolts, E. F, is the tire, which is shaped to fit the
surface of the rim, A.
I
1 of course heat the tire, F. and then shrink it on to the rim.
It will be noticed that a wheel made in this manner, being entirely composed of
tubular material, will be exceedingly strong in its construction, and at the same time
will be very light in proportion to its strength. It will also be observed that the
wheel may be put together by any ordinary mechanic, as its parts are so simply
arranged and easily put together that an unskilled person will find no difficulty in.
putting it together.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this 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 :-
1. As a new article of manufacture, a wheel composed of a metal tubular frame, A,
and tubular spokes, B, the latter being screwed into the hub, C, and connected at their
opposite ends to the rim, A, by means of the clips, D, substantially as and for the
purpose specified.
2. A wheel constructed substantially as herein shown and described.

page_text: I CARL HAMANN of Reinbeck in the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire of Germany,
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 shears and the main object of the invention is to pivot
the blades in an improved manner so that they may cut with shearing or sliding cut.
To this end the invention consists in certain combination or combinations of parts
embodying an improved method of pivoting the blades and of connecting them or one
of them for operation by the respective handle.
.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawing which illustrates garden or
priming shears constructed according to this invention in which Fig. 1 is a side view
of the improved shears open, Fig. a similar view of the same partially closed,
Fig. 3 a similar view of the same fully closed, Fig. 4 an edge view thereof and Fig.
a section on line a of Fig. 2.
a b are the two parts of the shears which are pivoted together at m. One of these
parts 6 extends beyond the pivotal point to form one of the blades, the other part a
extends to a certain distance to engage with the other blade R which is pivoted, not
at the point m, but at the point e to a lug on the inner side of the part 6 and the
part a is connected to the blade R by a pin's thereon engaging in a slot z or according
to any other suitable method of connection; the pivotal point e being so placed with
regard to the pins and pivotal point m that the action of the part a in opening and
closing the shears causes the blade R to open and close substantially as represented
in the drawing.
By this method I combine the straight action of the handles of ordinary shears,
with a shearing or sliding cut of the blades, and also cause the opening of the blades
to be greater for a certain opening of the handles than would be the case with a
blade R fixed to the part a as can be readily seen from Fig. 1.
To give a good shearing cut 1 prefer to curve the edge of the blade R in a
parabolic or similar curve as shown. The fixed blade of the part R may be straight
or preferably curved also as shown.

page_text: The direction of cut should be in the direction of the arrow Fig. 2 so that the
object to be cut may not be forced out from between the blades during the cutting.
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 combination of the two parts a and b pivoted at m with a fixed blade on
one of said parts and a loose blade pivoted to a lug or equivalent on said fixed blade
and connected with the other said part to be operated thereby substantially as set
forth.
2. The combination of the two parts a and b pivoted together at m, the part b
extended beyond said pivotal point as a blade, a lug or equivalent on the inside of
said blade, a loose curved blade R pivoted to said Ing and connected to the part a
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

I, JAMES FOOT YOUNG of 6 Stepney Street, Llanelly, in the County of Carmarthen,
Tailor and Outfitter, 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 of Improvements in and connected with Walking and Umbrella
Sticks has for its object the providing of a convenient receptacle for containing and
carrying a dog or riding whip, lash or switch in a walking or umbrella stick.
In carrying out my Invention I make the stick hollow, the upper portion or handle
being made detachable.
To this latter portion is attached the whip lash or switch and when not in use the
whip lash or switch placed inside the hollow stick while the upper portion or
handle which also forms the handle of the whip or lash-is secured into place by a
screw bayonet-joint or spring catch much in the same way as is usual in what are called
sword sticks.
As an alternative arrangement the whip, lash, or switch may be attached by a
suitable connecting piece to the end of the stick the whole stick then forming the
whip handle.
Referring to the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a part section of the
stick where the stick handle A forms also the whip handle, B the whip or lash,
C the screw connection where this form is used. Fig. 2 represents a part secton of the
arrangement where the whole stick is made to form the whip handle when the whip B
is withdrawn and attached by the screwed socket D to the end or ferrule of the stick
by the screw E.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A hollow walking or umbrella stick for containing and carrying a whip lash, or
switch substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Guard for Carving Forks.
I, EDWARD INGE WHITE of 38 High Street Sittingbourne in the County of Kent,
Ironmonger, 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 refers to the shield or guard used on carving forks to protect the
hand of the carver.
It consists of the usual strip of metal, which when not required lies along the
back of the fork, and when needed for use is turned up so as to stand erect nearly
at right angles to the fork.
In my invention instead of the usual spring to hold the guard erect, which is
very liable to get out of order, a small catch, bolt or ring, is employed which
engages with the guard and holds it erect either by entering a small notch cut in
the guard to receive it or by passing over a small lug or projection thrown out
from the back of the guard for the purpose.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 shows a carving fork with my improved
guard attached. Fig. 2 shews a bolt and guard detached from the fork, the guard A
having a slot or recess B to receive the end E of the bolt D. Fig. 3, also shows a
bolt and guard detached, the guard A having a small lug G in its rear over which
lug the bolt D passes and so fastens the guard in the erect position. The lug in this
case lies in a recess formed to receive it in the stem of the fork. The bolt may be
constructed in the form of an external clasp or ring if preferred instead of being
formed to work inside the stem.
It will be seen that either of these fastenings can be held conveniently in its
locked position by the forefinger of the hand which is using the fork, although if
properly fitted they will not need this support.
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 guard for carving forks having in its rear a slot, or lug which engages with a
sliding catch, bolt or ring, so as to detain it in the erect position when required as
herein described and set forth.

following statement, reference being made to the accompanying drawings:-
Fig. I. side view of cork drawer complete.
:-
Fig. II. is a sectional view shewing interior mechanism. The handle B when
pulled forward carries with it the piston E by means of the link D and arm C which
are attached to the piston E and to the handle B. The cork screw H is pushed
forward at the same time and when the loose nut I which travels on the leading
screw F meets with the plug X its passage is arrested and as the loose nut I cannot
revolve owing to its having lugs V Fig. VI, which fit into slots cut in the side of
the passage Y Fig. 11, the screw F revolves and so causes the corkscrew H to enter
the cork. On pressing back the handle B to its former position the cork is drawn
out of the bottle and when the loose nut I meets the shoulder Z it causes the
corkscrew to unscrew out of the extracted cork. The leading screw has a case-
hardened conical head K, which revolves against the casehardened plate L.
Fig. 1II. shows the handle B with the link D and arm C attached. This is the
first improvement claimed.
Fig. IV. illustrates the nozzle A which has two spring arms P, these press against
the neck of the bottle R, under the shoulder of bottle W, and grip the bottle when
the corkscrew is being driven into the cork and hold it until the cork is extracted.
This is the second improvement claimed.
Fig. V. shows the arms P which encircle the neck of the bottle R. S, are the
springs.
Fig. VI. shows the loose nut I. V, are the lugs.
N. Fig. I. is a stop to prevent the handle B, being pushed back too far.
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. Great simplicity of design, and the working parts being inside the machine,
non liability of disarrangement.

page_text: 2. Downward and upward pull being direct to the work the friction and loss of
power are minimised.
3. The nozzle having an open on the upper side the operator is enabled to see that
the bottle is held straight to the screw, breaking being thus prevented.
4. The bottle being held automatically by the machine while the cork is being
extracted, undivided attention can be given to the working of the lever.
5. The lever working on the upright arm "M" Fig. 1 gives great strength by
taking the strain off the body of the machine both when driving the screw into the
cork and when extracting same from the bottle.

An Improved Manufacture of Para-dioxy-benzol in Yellow
Stable Orystals.
I, SIGISMUND MEYER of 124 Potsdamer Strasse, Berlin, in the Gerinan Empire
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
I take a hot, saturated solution of para-dioxy-benzol and conduct into the sune
sulphurous acid (SO2). When the solution so treated is subsequently allowed to
crystallize, well formed crystals of bright yellow colour are obtained containing a
small quantity of sulphurous acid. These crystals are stable and will keep for soine
considerable time whilst para-dioxy-benzol as usually produced, readily decomposes
under the action of light, air, and moisture. Solutions made with the yellow crystals
are also more permanent than those prepared as heretofore customary. Para-dioxy-
benzol has recently been found useful as a developer in photography and for this
purpose a stable preparation such as that made with the substance produced by my
invention is particularly advantageous.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The treatment of hot concentrated solution of para-dioxy-benzol with sulphurous
acid for the purpose of attaining a stable Para-dioxy-benzol that crystallizes in bright
yellow coloured crystals containing some sulphurous acid.

Improvements in Bricks.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex 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 bricks for building purposes, and it consists in producing
a brick whose face, while being perfectly finished, and possessing the skin formed by
pressure in moulding, has the general appearance of split' "tooled" or other
similar rough faced stone, as below described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing in which
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a brick embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation showing portions of bricks embodying my invention in
position in a brick wall.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a slightly different brick embodying my
invention.
A represents the faces of the bricks, formed in imitation of what is known as
"split" stone, in figures 1 and 2, and as tooled " « stone," in figure 3, the other
surfaces A¹ of the bricks being plain as usual. These bricks are formed whilo the
clay is soft, in a mould or die in which is placed a plate or surface which is the reverse
or intaglio of the split or tooled surface of stone. This plate or surface is formed by
spreading plaster, wax, or other suitable impressionable material upon the split or
tooled surface of a block of stone, or other substance which can be split or tooled in
imitation of stone, and is, when set or hardened, inserted in the mould or die or is
used as a pattern by which to make a similar plate or surface in some other material.
The impression thus made upon the clay, when the bricks are pressed into the mould
or die, is such that the face of the brick resembles a split or tooled surface of stone.
After the bricks are completed they can be used in building walls or other
structures, as shown in Figure 2, with very pleasing effect.
The sizes most used vary from 2 inches by 2 inches on the face to 12 inches by
18 inches.
It will be observed that in this invention I avoid a genuine split, tooled, or fractured
surface as such a surface would have no "skin" finish and consequently he pervious
to moisture, while the surface of my brick has a perfect skin, as it is a moulded
surface presenting the appearance only of having been split, tooled or fractured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
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 :-
As a new and improved article of manufacture, a finished brick for building
purposes whose face, while being provided with the ordinary skin, is formed in
imitation of split, tooled or other rough-faced stone, substantially as set forth.

A New or Improved Rainproof Skirt.
I ADOLPH TUCHTFELDT, Manufacturer of Rubber Goods, of Graskeller No. 14,
Hamburg in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is by separating the upper half of a waterproof
garment, or that part intended for the upper part of the body from the lower part to
do away with the inconvenience which exists to a large degree with the present
waterproof garments, which do not provide for sufficient ventilation of the upper
part of the body, and which become covered and damp on the inside, especially on
the back by moisture from the body.
The improved garment consists of a skirt A with the waistband B attached thereto
Fig. 1. This skirt is open entirely down the front and can be placed around the
body and fastened together in front, Fig. 2. With this skirt there may be used for
the upper part of the body a garment of waterproof materal if desired but no
connection or attachment is to exist between upper garment and skirt or the waist
band belonging thereto, so that fresh air can reach the body between upper garment
and skirt. In wearing the improved skirt there will be no need to use a waterproof
jacket or upper part, a jacket or the like of other material may be worn.
The upper
part of the body will be sufficiently protected by an umbrella which does not give
an equal measure of protection to the lower part of the body.
The characteristic feature of this invention lies in producing a garment of water-
proof material which consists only of a skirt with a waist band attached thereto and
arranged to be fastened up in front.
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 rainproof garment consisting solely of a skirt with a waistband and adapted
to be fastened up in front substantially as illustrated and described.

Improvements in Fire-proof Ceilings and Walls.
We, ALBERT KLAPPERSTÜCK, and ANTON HENRY MEYER, both of Hoboken,
Hudson County, New Jersey, United States of America, gentlemen, do hereby
declare the nature of our 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 wall or ceiling which can be made very thin,
is fire and water-proof, sets quickly and is composed of but a single coating of prepared
mortar applied to a suitable backing.
In producing our improved ceiling or wall we first mix about 80 parts of mortar with
17 parts of calcined gypsum (plaster of paris) and preferably with about 2 parts of
hair. We also mix separately about a part colophony with a part of an acid,
preferably muriatic acid and a suitable quantity of water. The colophony will be
carried by the diluted acid in small particles and will not have a tendency to form
lumps and settle in collected masses on the bottom. The mixture of colophony and
diluted acid are next mixed with the mortar, gypsum and hair to produce our improved
plaster.
This plaster is thrown against a suitable fire-proof backing, preferably a coarse
meshed wire netting. It is applied to both sides, and is smoothed off in the usual
manner.
After having been allowed to dry or set for about two hours, the wall is in condition
to be papered or painted.
In our improved mixture, the colophony remains in a neutral condition within the
wall until subject to heat. But when a fire breaks out, the colophony will cause
the wall to assume a glazed structure which renders it incombustible. This structure,
the wall will thereafter maintain.
The walls may be made very light and thin. Besides being fire-proof, they are
also water proof and are poor transmiters of sound. Of course, we may make our
walls in small transportable sections.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A fire proof compound for ceilings and walls, consisting of mortar, gypsum, colophony
and an acid, substantially as specified.

page_text: WILLIAM MATTHEW 7 Milk Street Cheapside in the City of 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
I make the Insertion Front in the usual way viz. square at the top of which I
print or otherwise mark a series of curved lines indexed or numbered of different
lengths and positions as a guide for correctly cutting out to any given size of neck
band the portion of the front to which the neck bands or collars of the shirts are
attached.
Upon the waste portion a table of sizes is printed or stamped, each size being
numbered to correspond with the numbers on the curved lines above described. By
cutting through any one of the curved lines the exact contour (or slope) required
for the length of band corresponding to the size in the table would be obtained.
By this means persons inexperienced in shirt making will be able to secure a proper
proportion and fit to the shirt in which the front is inserted.
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―
For the imprinting or stamping on a Front to be inserted in a shirt a series of
cutting lines and directions.

A New or Improved Occasional Garment.
I, ROBERT YOUNG, of 3 Love Lane, Wood Street, in the City of London, shirt
manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said 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 consists of an occasional garment intended to be worn upon such
occasions as the occurrence of any sudden decrease of temperature of the atmosphere
in addition to the wearer's ordinary garments for the purpose of aiding in retaining
at such times the natural temperature of the body and preventing the wearer from
contracting the evils due to catching cold.
The garment is specially adapted to protect the back and the side parts of the body
below the armpits, and consists essentially of a frontless sleeveless occasional back-
vest adapted with shoulder bands or straps and with a front band or strap; such bands
or straps being so disposed as to retain the garment in position on the body without
attachment to or dependence on any other garment; the garment thus possessing the
advantages of being able to be used with any other garments fitting the wearer with-
out needing any addition to or other alteration of such other garments, and of being
able to be put on and from off the body as occasion may require.
The improved garment is represented on the accompanying drawing. 1. represents the
part adapted as aforesaid to protect the back and the side parts of the body below the
armpits. 2. represents the aforesaid shoulder straps or bands which may be adapted
with an elastic connection at, 3. or may be secured by a button hole and button, and
4. represents the aforesaid body band or strap which is preferably made of an elastic
fabric and is sewn to the one side of the garment and secured to the other side thereof
by a hook and eye, or by a button hole and button. Or such opposite parts of the
garment may be secured by tapes intended to be tied together or in any other
equivalent and suitable manner.
The garment may be made of flannel or of other suitable fabric from which it will
require to be cut, in which event for economy of material the shoulder and body straps
are best formed by added parts in the manner represented on the accompanying
drawing, or the garment may be woven in one pièce together with the shoulder straps,
the body band being subsequently added.
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.
I
The herein before described frontless, sleeveless occasional back-vest adapted with
shoulder bands and a body band so disposed as to retain the garment in position on
the body without attachment to or dependence on any other garment.

I, JOHN Cox of 7 Maze Hill Greenwich in the County of Kent, Analytical
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 :-
-
My invention relates to the purification of Carbonic Acid used in Aerating liquids.
In my specification No. 13,543, 1887. I describe a method of and apparatus for
aerating and bottling liquids with special reference to the employment of liquid
Carbonic Acid. In practice I find that this gas as commercially produced imparts
a disagreeable taint to water or liquids charged with it, owing doubtless to con-
taminations derived from the Machinery employed in its liquifaction. To remedy
this I pass the gas through an aqueous solution of Carbonate of Soda or other suitable
materials contained in a metallic receptacle closed by a screw cap or other device
connected with the gas holder by an inlet pipe or tube which descends to the bottom
and by an outlet pipe fitted at the Top or upper end on one side, with the condenser
or impregnating or aerating chamber einployed in Aerating liquids.
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 above described method of purifying Carbonic Acid gas from liquid
Carbonic Acid previous to aerating liquids with it, by passing it through an aqueous
solution of Carbonate of Soda or other materials suitable to the elimination of the
contaminating matters or impurities derived from the machinery employed in
compressing and liquifying it.
2nd. A washing apparatus or receptacle for holding the purifying solution through
which the carbonic Acid is passed connected with an Aerating Machine and
constructed substantially as above described.

Warehouseman, 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 label or ticket which can be readily attached
to fabrics or soft goods without the necessity of sewing, gumming, pasting, or otherwise
causing adhesion.
For this purpose I construct a ticket of card or such like flexible material with a
projecting point or points at each end or side thereof. By inserting the point or points
on the one end or side into the fabric then slightly bending the ticket and inserting
the point or points on the other end or side and again flattening the ticket it is retained
in position.
The ticket may simply consist of a piece of card having a wire pointed at both ends
passed through its middle, or attached to it by a cover cemented on.
The ends of the wire projecting form the attaching pins.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A label or ticket made with projecting points whereby it is attached to fabric or like
material, substantially as herein described.
