IMPROVEMENTS IN 'C' SPRING CARRIAGES
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOSEPH ALFRED LAWTON of the firm of J. A. Lawton & Co. of Hardman
Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Coach Builder, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN 'C' SPRING CARRIAGES" and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Сс
This Invention has for its object a C" spring carriage with a full lock so that
the shafts can be turned at right angles, and a carriage that will be destitute of the
springy motion of single perch carriages and the consequent dithering of the
hind wheels.
The Invention consists
1 In doing away with the central perch and using two other perches con-
tinuations of the hind dumms and sufficiently bowed upward to enable the wheels
to swing past beneath them.
2nd In fixing the brake on the said perches whereby a steady braking power is
obtained.
3rd I brace the two perches together in the centre by means of a crossbar and to
this attach the straps to prevent side rock.
The Invention is best described by the accompanying Drawings.
In these Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a plan showing novel portion.
In these A is the hind dumm, B spring, C.D.E. perch curved upwards at C
and D to allow the wheels to pass beneath in turning and depressed at E so as to
give full room for the carriage body.
F is the pin upon which the brake lever swivels-any well known form of brake
or lever can be used that may be found suitable to the carriage, the only novel
point in the brake being that it is swivelled on the perch and the perch firmly
braced to or forming a continuation of the dumin, and consequently the brake can
act rigidly upon the wheel independently of the movements of the carriage body.
G is the cross bar and to this at H the usual straps to prevent side rock are
attached.
I is the front "C" spring, J the hind “C” spring.

page_text: 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
The manufacture of "C" spring carriages substantially as described and the
following parts taken separately and for the purposes described :-
(a) The combination of the dumm and perch as one continuous bar or framework.
(b) The combination of the perch and the brake attached thereto.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTILLATION OF COAL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COAL-GAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE SUBSEQUENT PURIFICATION OF THE SAID GAS
Year: 1884

page_text: I ROBERT IRVINE of Royston Granton near Edinburgh in the County of
Midlothian North Britain Chemist do hereby declare the naturo of said Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTILLATION OF COAL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
COAL-GAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FACILITATING THE SUBSEQUENT PURIFICATION OF
THE SAID GAS" to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to effect the distillation of coal so as to enable
the elimination of the gaseous Sulphur compounds with which such gas is generally
more or less containinated to be subsequently effected with ease, which elimination
is difficult to effect by the processes hitherto employed for that purpose. According
to my Invention I effect the distillation of the Coal in the presence of Ammonia or
its Carbonate which I may do by passing vapour of Ammonia or its Carbonate
either alone or with Steam into the Retorts in which the Coal is being distilled.
The Sulphur present will combine with the Ammonia or its Carbonate and form
compounds of Ammonia and Sulphur which may be readily arrested in the
subsequent scrubbing of the Gas without the necessity for using Lime or Oxide
of Iron.

IMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVING REVERSIBLE FABRICS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, ABRAHAM ROTHWELL of Heywood Street Bury in the County of Lancaster
Mill Manager do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN WEAVING REVERSIBLE FABRICS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In the ordinary method of weaving reversible fabrics it is customary to make
one pick for the face of the cloth and the next pick for the back.
The object of this Invention is to make the face and back of the cloth exactly
alike with the same warp thread and in such a manner that no part of the warp
thread is hidden and that neither face nor back shall have a broken appearance.
My improvements consist in floating the warp alternately over and under three
or more picks missing one pick in each succeeding warp thread in the following
manner.
The first weft pick floats or passes over one under one over two under one over
one and under two.
The second pick passes over one under two over one under one over two and
under one.
The third pick passes over two under one over one under two over one and
under one.
The fourth pick passes under one over one under one over two under one over one
and under one.
The fifth pick passes under one over one under two over one under one and
over two.
The sixth pick passes under one over two under one over one under two and
over one.
The seventh pick passes under two over one under one over two under one and
over one.
The eighth pick passes over one under one over one under two over one under
one and over one. This completes the round which is illustrated on the
accompanying diagram.
In the example given of the method of carrying my improvements into practical
effect I have selected four warp threads this being a convenient number in practice
but this Invention may be applied to any cloth floating three or more warp
threads.

page_text: Having now described the nature of my Invention and the manner in which
the same is to be performed I wish it to be understood that I do not limit
myself to the example hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying

AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SULFO- CONJUGATE PARIS VIOLET DYES
Year: 1884

page_text: [Communicated from abroad by La Societé Anonyme des Matières colorantes et
Produits chimiques de Saint Denis (an incorporated Company), and Messrs.
A. Poirier and A. Rosenstiehl, all of Paris, in the Republic of France,
Chemists.]
I, JOHN IMRAY of N° 28 Southampton Buildings Chancery Lane in the County
of Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature
of the said invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SULFO-
CONJUGATE PARIS VIOLET DYES" and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In manufacturing sulfoconjugate Paris violet dyes sulphuric acid is used in
excess, and this excess is then removed by diluting with water the product of the
reaction, adding milk of lime to saturation, and separating the sulphate of lime.
This renders necessary a large amount of evaporation to get rid of the large body
of liquid in the product, and during the evaporation, part of the colouring matter
is lost and that which is left is soiled by substances produced of an altered
character; moreover the reduction to powder of the colouring matter thus obtained
involves great difficulty.
This invention relates to means of avoiding these difficulties by producing from
the sulphuric acid in whole or in part soluble sulphates, such as those of potassa,
soda, ammonia, magnesia, zinc and the like, no more water being added than is
necessary to form a paste of suitable consistence. By this treatment, there is no
alteration of the colouring matter, and it is obtained in a state in which, by reason
of its great solubility, it can be employed with great facility.
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 correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
First. In the manufacture of sulfoconjugate Paris violet dyes, treating the crude
product with potassa, soda, ammonia, magnesia, zinc or other substances producing
soluble sulphates with the excess of sulphuric acid.
Second. The manufacture and use of the paste of colouring matter produced as
herein described.

AN IMPROVED ORNAMENTAL FABRIC FOR WINDOW BLINDS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I FREDERICK STERNBERG of 26 Princess Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Calico Printer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED ORNAMENTAL FABRIC FOR WINDOW BLINDS 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 produce an ornamental woven fabric suitable
for window blinds which shall present the same appearance upon both sides
whether by direct or by transmitted light and which I propose to call the “Janus”
cloth.
The improved ornamental fabric is produced as follows. I take a piece of
ordinary window-blind holland, or other suitable plain woven fabric, and I print
the same pattern in two colors upon precisely the same place upon both sides of
the fabric simultaneously.
This is effected by a two color double surface printing machine the rollers of
which work in pairs, one upon each side of the fabric and are so engraved, one
with the exact counterpart of the pattern upon the other, and are so mounted and
geared precisely together that they will print exactly the same pattern in two
colors upon precisely the same place upon both sides of the fabric at once; and by
these means I produce a new ornamental printed fabric suitable for window blinds
having precisely the same appearance upon both sides as well by reflected or direct
light as by transmitted light; the effect of which will be far superior, and the
colors much more brilliant and durable than any printed window blinds hitherto
produced.
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
An improved ornamental fabric for window blinds produced by printing
precisely the same pattern in two colors upon exactly the same spot upon both
sides simultaneously of a piece of holland or other suitable woven fabric, substan-
tially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore more particularly set forth

IMPROVEMENTS IN METAL FRAMES FOR CASEMENT WINDOWS
Year: 1884

page_text: I THOMAS ELSLEY of No 32 Great Portland Street in the County of Middlesex
Metal Worker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN METAL FRAMES FOR CASEMENT WINDOWS" and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention has for its object improvements in metal frames for casement
windows.
I construct these frames of the form indicated by the drawings annexed.
A shows in transverse section the fixed frame to be let into the stonework of the
window or otherwise fixed according to the circumstances of the case; B shows a
transverse section of the swinging frame which receives the glass. The two frames
are shown closed together in their proper relative position as they are when the
window is closed.
These frames are made from rolled bars by preference of steel dovetailed and
brazed at the corners. The frames A and B are as will be seen primarily of L form
in section and the two, frames close together completing a rectangle the faces being
flush both front and back. Each frame also has an inner rib guarding the joint and
forming a rabate or recess to receive the edge of the other frame so that the frames
go together with two close rabated joints well calculated to excludo wind and
water.
The swinging frame B also has ribs consisting of prolongations of the front and
back faces and these serve to receive between them the glass and the putty by
which the glass is kept in place. The swinging frame is jointed to the fixed frame
by means of a conical steel pin carried by a bracket fixed to the former at the lower
corner; and this pin is received into a bronze socket secured to the lower corner of
the fixed frame. The joint at the top may be similar but as it is the lower joint
which is mainly exposed to strain I prefer to braze the lower brackets to the frames
and to attach the upper brackets by screws which may be removed for separating
the frames for transport; I however make no claim in respect to the way in which
the swinging frame is jointed to the fixed frame.

page_text: The swinging frame may open either inwards or outwards as when closed
together they present a plane surface on both faces.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY OR VENTILATOR-TOPS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, HORATIO KELSON BROMHEAD, Architect of 245 St Vincent Street in the
City of Glasgow in the County of Lanark, Scotland, do hereby declare the nature
of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEY OR VENTILATOR-TOPS and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The improvement consists in constructing the tops of chimneys and ventilators.
with a number of cone shape or wedge shape apertures or channels round the
chimney or ventilator openings. The top of such apertures or channels being
either open or partially open or closed and both ends being open and slightly
inclined upwards towards the chimney or ventilator opening. The object of the
Invention is the prevention of a down blow into the chimney or ventilator opening
by means of the said apertures or channels which are so placed radiating round the
chimney or ventilator opening that those on the side from which the wind comes
will catch the wind and deliver its motion in an almost horizontal and slightly
upward direction over the chimney or ventilator opening and thereby counteract
or blow away from the chimney or ventilator opening any wind that might cause
& down-blow. The upward incline being so as to be just enough to a complish
that result without interfering with or materially increasing the updraught of the
chimney or ventilator.
In the accompanying Drawing Figs. 1. 2. and 3a shew the crown or top of the
wind-guard or chimney-top or ventilator-top in different designs.
Fig. 36 shows the vertical section of same.
Figs. 3. 4. 5. 6. show different designs, of the same wind-guard or chimney-top
or ventilator-top.
The dotted lines

indicate the points of section.
Figs. 5 and 6 shew a slightly concave detached cover that may in some cases be
added to the chimney-top or ventilator. Hooked points descending from the
underside of the cover, prevent it from being removed without being first turned
round to the slots where the said hooks were inserted.
A hole in the said cover is made of a suitable size to receive a common cork or
plug of wood or some other suitable substance which can be pushed down so as to
"

page_text: enter a hole in the chimney-top beneath and thus prevent the removal of the cover,
by preventing it from being turned round and the hooked points from reaching
the slots through which they can be lifted up.
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
(i) The construction of chimney and ventilator tops having recesses or apertures
slightly inclined upwards towards the centre, substantially as herein described and
illustrated.
or
(ii) The construction of chimney and ventilator tops having recesses
apertures slightly inclined upwards, and having open, partially open or closed top,
substantially as herein described and illustrated.
(iii) The application to chimney and ventilator tops of the concave cover, and
the method of attachment of the same substantially as herein described and
illustrated.

page_text: I, JOHN LEEDAM of No. 4 Hawk Street, Burnley in the County of Lancaster,
Tailor and Woollen Draper, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
"AN IMPROVED COMPOUND SUITABLE FOR WASHING CLEANING AND SCOURING
PURPOSES," and in what manner the same is to be perforined, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
An essential feature of this Invention is the combination of soap with hydro-
carbon oils or spirits such; as, benzoline, benzole, or paraffine, separated or extracted
from Burmese or other natural naphthas, petroleum or tars.
'In carrying out my Invention I desolve one hundred weight of best bar soap, in
75 gallons of boiling water.
This solution is allowed to cool down to about 90° F., when 9 gallons of benzoline,
or similar spirit or oil is added, care being taken not to add it before, as, from its
inflammable nature it would have a tendency to "flash
or blaze.
The offensive smell arising from the benzoline, is neutralized by the application
to the solution of 24 ounces of lavinder water, and 6 ounces of the oil of telremella,
all the ingredients in the solution are now well mixed together and poured into
cases, or jars, previous to its solidification to the consistancy of paste.
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;
Firstly. The combination of soap with benzoline, benzole, paraffine, or other
similar hydrocarbon oil, or spirit, as described and set forth.
Secondly. The proportions, and method of mixing the ingredients as herein
described and set forth.
THE PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF SPRAY
Year: 1884

page_text: I, ALFRED WRIGHT 22 Old Burlington Street London W. Physician, do hereby
declare the nature of my Invention for THE PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION AND
ADMINISTRATION OF SPRAY to be as follows:- .
A small instrument consisting of a bottle or liquid holder to which is attached a
syringe which is worked by pressure of the thumb on a spiral spring attached
round the piston rod; thus air being driven down displaces a small portion of the
fluid contents of the bottle, and forces it along a horizontal tube, at the end of
which it is discharged through very minute orifices, and is distributed very finely
divided as spray.

page_text: I, ALFRED WRIGHT, of 22 Old Burlington Street, London, W., Physician, do
hereby declare the nature of my Invention for THE PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION,
AND ADMINISTRATION OF SPRAY and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
A small instrument consisting of a bottle or liquid holder to which is attached a
syringe which is worked by pressure of the thumb on a spiral spring attached
round the piston rod; thus, air being driven down displaces a small portion of the
Huid contents of the bottle and forces it along a horizontal tube at the end of
which it is discharged through very minute orifices and is distributed very finely
divided as spray.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying Drawings is a vertical section of an atmonemetor
according to my Invention. A is a bottle, phial, or other vessel containing the
liquid that has to be distributed as spray. B is a plug or stopper tightly closing
the mouth of the vessel A and having in it the following passages.
A passage
C
communicates with the barrel of a syringe D which is fitted with a piston E pressed
outwards by a spring F, the piston rod terminating in a knob or button G to which
the finger or thumb is applied as shewn in Fig. 2. A passage H communicates
with the interior of a tube K which has at its end a small orifice L. A small
tube M extends vertically down into the liquid and horizontally from the stopper
within the tube K, terminating with a small orifice at N inside the mouth L. The
action of the apparatus is as follows. On pressing down the piston E, so as to
compress the air, the pressure communicated. through the passage C forces some of
the liquid up the tube M and out at the orifice N, and at the same time air passing
through H into the tube K issues at L along with the jet of liquid from N causing
dispersion of the jet in the form of spray.
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:
An atmonemetor or spray dispersing apparatus constructed and operated
substantially as herein described.
