of Surrey Esquire do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object the avoidance of loss and inconvenience to
poultry keepers in consequence of the difficulty of removing the eggs of a bird who
has commenced to set from the common fowl or bird house to a more suitable place
in such a way as to prevent the bird from forsaking her eggs. I make a nest of
wire netting or other suitable material set in a stout frame which frame corresponds
in size or is slightly smaller than the internal area of a bottomless setting box of
any suitable pattern and is easily attached thereto by means of convenient bolts
catches or other fastenings. The nest is placed in the common bird house and when
the bird has commenced to set on the nest the setting box is placed over her and
fastened to the detachable bottom. The whole can then be lifted up and removed
to the setting house or other place where it is desired to set the bird.

Improvements in the Treatment of Hops.
I, JAMES TAYLOR CONNELL, of 122 George Street, Edinburgh, Malt and
Hop Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I have ascertained that after hops have been employed in brewing they are not
"spent" as is ordinary supposed but are capable of revivification so as to render
them fit to be used a second time in brewing beer.
The process of revivification which I employ is similar to that of the
original preparation of hops and includes a kiln drying operation during which
the hops are submitted to a suitable temperature. Heated air may also be
employed the same being caused to permeate amongst the hops in process of
revivification.

Improvements in the Treatment of Hops.
I, JAMES TAYLOR CONNELL, of 122 George Street, Edinburgh, Malt and
Hop 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 :-
The object of this invention is to utilise brewers' waste material known as spent
hops, and hops that have been used in cask for dry hopping purposes, so that the
said hops may be used again a second time, and the bitter remaining in the hop
fully utilised, an immense saving being thereby effected.
The hops after having been once boiled still retain about 50% of the bitter
principle.
On receiving the spent hops I recure them in a hop or malt kiln, in the same
way in all respects as if they were freshly picked hops.
After recuring, the hops can be packed into pockets or bales ready for use again,
and they can be used for the purposes for which new hops are used, and they will
keep for any reasonable time.
In brewing the recured hops are employed in the same way as fresh hops
but the proportion is somewhat increased say to the extent of 50 per cent. more
or less.
It is usually advisable to use a mixture of fresh hops and recured hops but
recured hops may be used alone.
.
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 treatment of spent hops by recuring them in a hop or malt kiln in the
manner described.
2. The treatment of spent hops by recuring them in a hop or malt kiln in the
manner described and afterwards reusing them in brewing.

Improvements in Bread Tins and the like.
We, TOM PARKINSON, and GEORGE MARSDEN PARKINSON, of Doncaster
Mills, Doncaster, in the County of York, Millers, 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 tins with single walls and underside employed in the
baking of bread and the like, and is especially designed to enable the baker to
entirely dispense with grease when baking bread in tins. Usually these tins are
made of tin-plate or the like, having a solid or continuous wall and underside
which solidity prevents the bread, when baked, being taken out of the tin unless
the latter has been previously greased.
In carrying out the invention the tins are made of the usual shape and con-
struction common for baking what is known as tin bread, but instead of making the
walls and underside continuous or solid we employ perforated metal, thus
preventing the tin holding the loaf in by suction or other influence when
sufficiently baked.
We find by experiment that the most suitable material for our purpose is metal
preferably soft or mild steel which must be perforated first and then tinned or plated
so as to completely cover the inside surface of the perforations, otherwise rust will
form and discolour the loaf. For instance, if tin-plate were simply perforated and
then used for tins the inside surface of the perforations would be exposed iron
which would rust and discolour the loaf.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A baking tin made of metal which is first perforated and then tinned or plated.

Improvements in Centrifugal Machines Operated by Hand.
I, FRANZ HUGERSHOFF of Leipzig, in the Kingdom of Saxony, and German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to hand centrifugal machines of the Gärtner-Hugershoff
type for the examination of milk, and for determining the amount of sediment in
urine, "sputum," etc.
The liquids to be examined are poured into glass vessels which are arranged
radially in a drum which can be closed if necessary by a suitable lid. The axle of
the drum is carried in a hoop fixed to a table, window-sill or other suitable support.
The drum is rotated by means of a cord or string in the same manner as a
humming top.
The essential features of the present invention are
1st. The location of the drum above the bearing hoop so that it can be easier
handled and the lid removed with greater facility and speed.
2nd. Providing ball bearings for the axle of the drum whereby friction is reduced
and the machine rendered more durable.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory drawing, whereon,
c is the drum, t the supporting hoop, d the lid, a and b ball bearings for the
axle f, g the cord for turning the axle, e a screw fitted in the drum and on which
the nut e¹ of the lid can be screwed. h is the hole in the axle for the cord g.
As will be seen the drum c is fitted on the vertical axle or spindle f which is
carried in the ball bearings a and b at the top and bottom of the hoop support t.
The hoop is secured to the table, window sill, or other place, by means of a screw
clamp or a similar device.
As the drum is located at the top of the axle or spindle f, it is entirely free and
the lid d can be easily removed by unscrewing the nut el so that the bottles
containing the liquid under examination can be readily inserted, and taken out or
replaced.
If desired, the upper bearing a may alone be a ball bearing and the lower one b,
a simple cone or centre bearing as usual. This arrangement may be found
sufficiently satisfactory in some cases.
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 hand centrifugal machine, having the drum located above the supporting hoop
and in which the axle or spindle of the drum runs in ball bearings, substantially as
and for the advantages hereinbefore set forth.

I, HENRY HARRIS of 22 Great Prescot Street Goodmansfield in the County of
Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for the improvement
of "Casting Cattle for Slaughter" to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved appliance for casting cattle for slaughter;
the object being to prevent hurt or pain to the animal about to be slaughtered.
In carrying this into effect I make a platform or board in one or more parts,
covered with zinc or other material and hinged together. This is affixed to the
building, the platform being moveable or otherwise. The top edge of platform
and outside is well stuffed and covered with leather or other material. Near the
ends of the platform are either holes or hooks for the purpose of attaching rope or
chain; through this ropes or chains are attached which are carried to a pulley or
crane above, and the animal is secured in the usual way.
Then by pulling the rope or chain which are passed over the pulley the platform
is made to rise and by this means the animal loses his balance and laid down
quietly with platform when lowered.
Two hoops made of wood or other material are affixed to the platform to throw
over and hold the animal if necessary.

An Improved Ball-valve.
WILLIAM GRAY Plumber, Gas, and Hot-water Fitter &c. 149 Oval Road
Croydon Surrey do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
1. My invention consists of an improvement in the construction of ball-valves, by
so constructing them that no sliding-piston of any kind is used, the lever which
carries the floating ball also has the valve face fixed to it and is part of it.
2. The lever bearing is a hinged joint contained in the body of the valve and is
of good width to ensure good working of same and to stop any lateral play in the
working of same.
3. The movement of valve in opening and closing is horizontal, thus allowing grit
or other substance passing through the valve to fall clear from the seating.
4. My invention also consists of a regulation of the quantity of water passing
through the valve, by means of a screw in front of the body of valve, which
on being screwed in behind the valve face regulates the distance the face of valve
can recede from the face of seating when the floating ball drops.

Improvements in the Treatment of Molasses.
I, FRITZ GRAEGER, of Vysočan, near Prague, in the Empire of Austro-
Hungary, 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 :—
The present invention relates to a process of completely compensating the
attenuation of molasses difficult of fermentation and improving the attenuation of
all molasses, and this new process consists in treating the molasses after it has been
neutralized by means of sulphuric acid, with a small excess of sulphuric acid at a
temperature of preferably 60-75° C. in the original concentration of the molasses
and then filtering the thus treated molasses either in concentration or when diluted,
while formerly the molasses was first boiled and then neutralized.
By this process which I have found successful the attenuation of molasses
difficult of fermentation is completely compensated. But also in easily-fermenting
molasses a better attenuation is attained by employing the new process.
In pro-
ducing alcohol from molasses treated in this manner, not only is a greater quantity
of alcohol obtained but also a purer fermentation and saving of ferment.
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 molasses after it has been neutralized by means of sulphurio
acid with a small excess of sulphuric acid at a temperature of say 60-75° C.
(without boiling) and then filtering the thus treated molasses either in concentration
or when diluted for the purpose specified.

and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The reflector consists of a concave glass mirror, fastened in a tin case, and made
so as to fasten to the back of the lamp by means of a small nut and bolt.
I first take a round concave glass mirror A, 24 inches in diameter, of an inch
in thickness, and 16 of an inch concave. I then take a piece of round tin plate B
of about 2 inches in diameter; make it concave same as mirror, and then turn
of an inch of the edge round at right angles, I then punch a hole through the
centre to receive the bolt C; which is of an inch long, and of an inch thick,
and having a countersunk-head. The head of the bolt being driven down to make
it flush with the inside, and then soldered. The mirror is then put in, and the
edge pressed to the glass to hold it firm.
And the improvements, and advantages claimed for this my invention are
these:-
(1.) It will save labour in cleaning, as one rub over will clean it; whereas the
ordinary tin reflector, requires continual cleaning with plate powder, to keep
it bright.
(2.) It will also save plate powder.
(3.) The lustre will always be the same whereas continual cleaning of the tin
reflector, wears away the nickel.

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
as my invention is :—
A glass mirror as a reflector for a cycle lamp, and that the whole is constructed
substantially in the manner above described, and for the purposes stated in this my
Complete Specification.
Dated this 18th day of January 1894.

Prussia, German Empire, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention

ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to an improved glove which offers the following
advantages.
(1) Saving in material and wages.
(2) A more comfortable fit and
(3) Fewer seams necessary and consequently greater durability.
In order to make my invention more fully intelligible, reference is had to the
accompanying drawing in which
Fig. 1 represents the finished glove made with only
usual 10.
Fig. 2 represents the glove as ready cut for sewing.
pieces instead of the
Fig. 3 & 4 two symmetrical strips for the inner parts of the middle and ring
fingers, and
Fig. 5 an independent strip for the whole of the thumb.
The main seam, which sews the whole glove together, does not run up the side of
the little finger as is usual, but in the middle of the glove between the middle and
ring fingers. The skin is folded towards the middle to form the seam a, the
strips, Fig. 3 & 4 are then inserted as also thumb-piece b in an inclined position and
then all the seams are sewn up in the usual manner.
The following seams are then necessary.
On the little finger one seam (as against three seams).
Ring and middle fingers, each two (instead of four).
Index finger, one seam (instead of two).
On the thumb one seam.
At the same time the gussets between the fingers and thumb are not necessary as
the skin is cut at once with gusset-shaped pieces c c, and with a wedge-shaped
piece e protruding into the hole cut for the thumb. Any material which is used
for gloves can be cut and sewn up in this manner and a glove thus sewn is not
only far more durable but also has a far better fit as compared to gloves cut on the
old style.
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,
In gloves the combination of one main piece cut to the shape of the glove and
with gusset-shaped additions, of two strips for the inner sides of the middle and
ring fingers and of a thumb piece for insertion in a hole cut in the glove and already
provided with a gusset substantially as and for the purpose herein described with
reference to the accompanying drawing.

Improved Boot and Shoe Lace Fastening.
PAULINE DURLER SPITZLY, 1 Douglas Road, Canonbury London, N. no
calling, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A short, strong black safety pin, with a good shield to cover the point of the
pin, is fastened securely on to the shield-side of the pin, to one end of the boot or shoe
face, instead of the tag. Lace your boot or shoe with the tag end of the lace, tie a
bow as usual and stick the safety pin through the bow. It keeps the lace quite
secure from unfastening. A-steel safety pin is best as it does not bend and slips
through the bow easier. It would be as well, if the safety pin was so constructed,
that the pin could slide in, like the eye into a safety hook, so that there would be
no space open in the shield. It would make the pin even more secure from
unfastening. The safety pins can also be made ornamental, some to look like shoe
buckles others as brooches or clasps, only those must have a firm flat hasp to
secure the points of the pins well, preventing them from catching in ladies dresses,
or gentlemens trousers.

This invention relates to an improved hose or stocking, the object being the
production of a hose or stocking having a ribbed leg and a so-called seamless
foot.
This object is accomplished according to this invention by first making the leg
portion of the hose or stocking upon rib knitting machines of the Cotton's Patent,
Rothwell, rotary or other machines of a similar type. The leg is made from the
welt to the ankle and if desired is fashioned at any part by the usual means. The
leg is then removed from the rib knitting machine and the loops at the ankle end
of the same are run on to the needles of a so-called seamless knitting machine of
the Aitken, Shaw, or other similar type, which machine completes the foot. The
stocking is then removed from this latter machine and the toe and leg seamed or
the leg may be seamed before it is run on to the footing machine.
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 hose or stocking in which a ribbed leg, fashioned or otherwise, and made on
any ordinary rib knitting machine has a plain foot made on a seamless knitting
machine substantially as and by the method herein set forth.
