Improvements relating to the Production of Veneers.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45, 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 a method by which veneers of various designs may
be produced, such as Maser veneers," .e. veneers made from knotty or curled
wood such as mahogany, maple &c. veneers forming a pattern composed of artistic
lines, or shaded designs, although the wood from various trees from which they
were originally cut shows but simple design. The wood employed may be of any
kind suitable for the particular purpose.
My invention will be clearly understood from the accompanying drawing in
which
Figure 1 shows a number of ordinary veneers introduced between blocks or dies
ready for pressing, and
'
Figure 2 shows the same firmly pressed between the said blocks or dies.
In carrying out the invention I glue a number of veneers i, say 20 to 25, one to
the other so as to form a body a. This I place between two blocks or dies m and m¹
while keeping the body in a pliant or yielding condition by the application thereto
of steam or other suitable medium. The blocks or dies are provided at their inner
side, with protuberances s and recesses arranged in such a manner that one
block fits the other.
In applying strong pressure to these blocks or dies the veneers i forming the
body a yield and conform to the shape of the dies as shown in Figure 2, after
which the whole is left to dry.
When thoroughly dry the body a is removed and cut longitudinally in a veneer
sawing-machine. The line of cut, for instance .., Figure 2, traverses various
layers of veneers and this produces handsomely marked veneering plates.
The effect thus obtained may be still further improved by treating or staining
the veneers in any suitable manner and by suitable means, previous to glueing
them together into a body. The stain so applied penetrates the wood only partially
and to varying depths and produces highly artistic shades and tints on the
finished veneer.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what claim is:-
TAI

page_text: together to form a block or body which is then pressed in a press having dies
formed with protuberances and recesses arranged to fit one another and which body
is finally cut up by straight and parallel saw cuts into vencers.

Incandescent Electric Light Decorations.
I, ALEXANDER ABERCROMBIE POLLOCK, of Hillhead, Milngavie, Dumbartonshire,
Traveller, 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 decorations for electric glow lamps. The lamps are
enclosed either wholly or partially in artificial flowers made of cloth, paper, or other
suitable material or combination of materials. The leaves of the flowers are
preferably made of a framework of wire to which the paper, cloth, or other material
is secured in any well known and suitable manner. By having a wire framework
or skeleton the leaves are prevented from turning up or curling out of shape under the
action of the heat radiated from the lamp, and, further, the leaves, when once bent
into a certain shape; retain that shape.
Under a modification a wire basket or framework may be fitted round the lamp
and so as to wholly or partially enclose it. In this case leaves of ordinary artificial
flowers can be fitted round the outside of the basket in such a manner as to wholly
or partially enclose the basket and lamp. The wire basket keeps the leaves in place
and prevents them coming in contact with the glass bulb of the lamp; it also
protects the lamp against breakage.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows a glow lamp a enclosed within a rose made of artificial leaves. b
is the filament. c, are the wires leading to the source of electric supply which
may be a small battery or an accumulator if the lamp is to be portable.
Fig. 2 shows a leaf which is made of paper or cloth or such like mounted upon
a wire frame indicated by the dotted lines at d.
Fig. 3 shows a leaf for attachment to the stalk made in the same manner as the
leaf Fig. 2. indicates the wire.
Fig. 4 shows an ivy leaf made with a wire frame d.
Fig. 5 shows a wire skeleton for a leaf. e, el, are the wires. It will be seen that
the branch wires e¹ extend from the central rib wire to the edge wires.
The paper or cloth may be pasted, sewn, or otherwise suitably secured in any
well known manner to the wire frame.
Fig. 6 shows the glow lamp a as enclosed within a basket f made of wire gauze,
wire netting, or a number of wires interlaced. This basket may either partially or
wholly surround the glow lamp.
The invention can be applied for table and other decorations.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
1. The combination with electric glow lamps of artificial flowers or leaves made
substantially as hereinbefore described.

page_text: 2. The combination with electric glow lamps of a wine basket or framework and
of artificial leaves fitted round the basket or framework, substantially as
hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Measuring Funnels.
I, SIGMUND ELLSCH, of No. 7, Steinbuhlerstrasse, Nurnberg, in the Empire of
Germany, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction and manufacture of
funnels used for measuring liquids and pouring or guiding same into bottles or
narrow necked vessels, the object being to combine with an ordinary funnel, a
measuring device, so that a quantity of the liquid in the funnel can first be
measured and then allowed to pass into the bottle or vessel to receive it.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a com-
plete description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in
which:-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of the improved combined funnel
and measuring device.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1.
According to this invention I employ a funnel 1 the lower end or apex of which
is a transparent cylindrical tube or vessel 2 marked with a gauge representing tea
or table spoons, or other measures. The underside of the tube or vessel 2 is
tapered or conical so that the outlet end may be placed in a bottle or narrow
necked vessel, and the opening in the bottom of the vessel 2 is closed by a valve 3
on the spindle 4, the upper end of which is attached to the lever 5 pivoted on an
upright carried on the bridge 6 fixed to the top of the funnel.
The opening at the bottom of the funnel 1 above the vessel 2 is closed by valve 7
connected by tube or hollow rod 8 with the lever 9 pivoted on an upright carried
on the bridge 6. The rods 4 and 8 and their valves 3 and 7 are held down and
closed as shewn, by means of the spiral springs 10 and 11 fixed to the levers 5
and 9 and bridge 6.
The liquid to be measured and inserted in the bottle or vessel is placed in the
funnel 1 and the lever 9 on being pressed by the thumb, raises the rod 8, opens
the valve 7, and allows the liquid to flow into the vessel 2. When the required
quantity has passed into the vessel 2 the pressure on the lever 9 is removed, and
the spring 11 at once closes the valve 7. The lever 5 is now pressed and the
valve 3 opened, and the measured liquid flows into the vessel or bottle.
The funnel can conveniently be held by its handle in one hand whilst the thumb
of the same hand operates and controls, by the levers 5-9, the valves 7-3.
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:-
A funnel combined with a measuring vessel, the inlet and outlet valves of which

page_text: are controlled by thumb levers, as and for the purpose herein described, and sub-
stantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.

An Improved Cowl or Chimney Pot for Curing Smoky Chimneys.
WILLIAM BEVITT, Chalfonts, Romford, Essex, England, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
My invention has for its object the curing of what is commonly known as
smoky-chimneys" and for ventilating schools, public buildings and the like.
I attain this object by using a cowl constructed on the principle as shewn on
drawings accompanying this specification, and from which it will be seen that
which ever way the wind blows it accelerates the up draught of the smoke, or
air, from the chimney or room. When the wind is baffling downwards it strikes
the cone (A) and as indicated by the arrow (13) rushes past the aperture (C) (through
which the smoke or foul air escapes) and thus causes a suction or up draught or
an acceleration of the smoke or foul air. Should the wind be steady or baffling
upwards, as indicated by the arrow (E) the like effect is produced. It will thus
be seen that which ever way the wind blows it cannot strike direct down into the
chimney or air shaft. My invention embraces cowls of various shapes having
conical hoods of a corresponding form, and carrying out the said principle for
increasing the up current of smoke or air.
The cone A & shield Hare-by preference-supported by flat ribs (F) thus
leaving a clear passage for the smoke and air, and also for the chimney-brush.
The cowls can be made of terra-cotta, iron, zinc, or other substances.

Figures 4 and 6. Another form of the same.
As is seen from Figure. 1 of the drawing my invention consists of a specially
adapted shaft a to which is fastened a head b which terminates in a point c.
The point c is split into two parts by a long slit which extends into the head b
and at its outer end e it is bent a little distance up into an obtuse angle and the
point is rounded in this position.
At the end of the shaft à which is remote from the head b is set a knife-like
point which may if desired be formed out of the shaft as in Figuras 4 to 6.
The method of using the instrument is as follows:-
Should a splinter have to be removed all that is necessary is a skilful pressure
on the head b from underneath in order to bring about an opening of the points
of the instrument. This open point is applied to the affected spot on the skin and
is made to enclose the imbedded splinter, when the splinter has been enclosed the
head is left free, so that the points of the instrument draw together and hold it fast.
A short pull draws out the splinter, and this operation is almost painless since
the point of the instrument being rounded causes no sting.
If the splinter has already penetrated deeper into the skin so that it is difficult
to discover it from the surface, then it is sufficient to make a scratch with the knife
like point d in order to make a small opening in the skin. The point c is then
inserted opened and closed by pressure on the head b and the splinter removed as
before described. Hence again because of the blunt rounded shape of the point a
gentle painless operation is effected, and the instrument which is light and easily
carried, ought to be in constant requisition for the sportsman and artisan.
The form shown in Figures 4 to 6 shows the instrument without the circular
plate-shaped head b and the shape of the instrument in this second form is the
same in its whole length. The point e' is slightly bent upwards, whereby a firmer
closing of the sides c results. Besides the middle slit I employ, on account of
the greater lightness of the instrument, two additional slits g and g¹ running out-

page_text: wards from the shaft a¹. The parts h and h¹ thus separated from the point are
wing-shaped and bent upwards and run gradually up into the shaft.
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 new or improved instrument for extracting splinters or other foreign
matter from the persons of men or animals consisting of a head provided with a
split point, secured to a handle provided with a knife-like point all substantially
as set forth.
(2) The new or improved instrument as set forth in Claim 1, whose point is
rounded and formed into an obtuse angle all substantially as set forth.

Improved Means for Propelling Bicycles.
CURT FERDINAND TEICHER, Manufacturer, of 20B, Georgeustr., Leipzig, and JULIUS
FRIEDRICH ALFRED RUNGE, Merchant, of 301, Querstr., Leipzig, do hereby declare the
nature of our said 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 present application is a movement for bicycles. This movement
is brought about neither by pedalling nor by a pushing or turning movement, but by
an up and down movement of the seat, as in riding.
The method of execution is illustrated in the drawing.
Figure 1 is a side view of the new movement and
Figure 2 is a section of the same on an enlarged scale.
As is shewn in the drawing the seat pillar tube is provided with slots b. The seat
pillar C moves easily and works in the seat pillar tube d while the upward movement
which the spiral spring e imparts to it is checked by the strong bolt d which passes
through the slots b. Footrests f applied to the frame yield a support to the feet,
while a sliding bar g brings about a connection between the saddle pillar guide bolt d
and the chain wheel h. To equalize the pressure on the hub a wheel k corresponding
to the chain wheel and a second sliding bar can be provided (Figure 2). The
method of working is as follows. The rider sets the machine in motion with a push
and swings himself into the saddle. He places his feet in the immovable fixed rests f

An Improved Process for Extracting Coal Dust from Flue Gases.
I, Wilhelm Beth, Engineer, of Lubeck, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-
This invention relates to an improved process for extracting coal dust from
flue gases, the object of the process being to purify the gases so as to obviate the
inconvenience produced thereby and to render unnecessary the extraordinary
height of the chimney which is required in view of the inconvenience occasioned
by the smoke.
According to this invention; in the smoke-hole or flue between the steam-
boiler or other furnace and the chimney, a suitably large filtering apparatus made
of some woven vegetable or mineral substance is fixed and if the ordinary draught
is not sufficient an artificial draught is created. In order to avoid any burning
of the filter surfaces, water in the form of steam or spray is brought into contact
with the flue gases, on the way to the filter, for the purpose of extinguishing the
sparks. Beyond this a further cooling may be effected according to requirement
by the introduction of cold air or in any other way, but only so far that the
steam does not condense. The aqueous steam escapes with the hot flue gases
through the filter, the coal dust remaining in the filter in a dry state where it
can be collected and removed in any suitable manner.
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 process for separating coal dust from the smoke or flue gases arising
from steam boiler or other furnaces, by means of a coal-dust filter, water in the
form of steam or spray being introduced for the purpose of extinguishing the
sparks, and the coal dust being reduced to a suitable form by diminishing the
heat contained in the gases through the introduction of cold air or in any other
way.

An Improvement in Bunsen Burners.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Buildings, ('han-
cery Lane, in the County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by Julius
Moeller, of 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of London, but at
present of the Hotel Sacher, Vienna, Austria,) to be as follows:-
In Bunsen burners usually the the gas issues by a small circular jet or a number
of still smaller circular jets into the tube where it mingles with air drawn in by
lateral orifices. This invention relates to simple means of more effectually mixing
the gas with the air so that the mixture undergoes more complete combustion.
For this purpose, the circular jet hole by which the gas issues is slightly notched
at the top by the blow of a chisel so that the metal presents two or more slight
depressions around the hole.
The effect of this is that the gas, instead of issuing in a cylindrical column, is
somewhat spread out laterally so as to mingle with the air that ascends with it.

An Improvement in Bunsen Burners.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Buildings, Chan-
cery Lane, in the County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by Julius
Moeller, of 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of London, but at
present of the Hotel Sacher, Vienna, Austria) and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In Bunsen burners usually the gas issues by a small circular jet or a number of
still smaller circular jets into the tube where it mingles with air drawn in by
lateral orifices. This invention relates to simple means of more effectually mixing
the gas with the air so that the mixture undergoes more complete combustion.
For this purpose, as shewn in section in Fig. 1 and in plan in Fig. 2 of the
accompanying drawings, the circular jet hole a by which the gas issues is slightly
notched at the top by the blow of a chisel so that the metal presents two slight
depressions such as around the hole.
The effect of this is that the gas, instead of issuing in a cylindrical column as

page_text: indicated by the dotted lines c, is somewhat spread out laterally as indicated by
the lines so as to mingle with the air that ascends with it. Instead of two
notches as shown in Fig. 2 there might be another even number of notches
produced by turning the chisel to various angles.
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:
Notching the gas jet hole of a Bunsen burner, substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.

Improved Means for Keirigerating.
Year: 1898

page_text: I, WILLIAM RUSHWORTH, of the Argenta Meat Company, of Long Street,
Middleton, near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Meat Purveyor, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to a special arrangement of refrigerating room for the
storage of meat or other articles of food or for other purposes and the object of
the invention is to obtain an equally cold temperature throughout the said room
and whilst so doing to maintain a circulation of the air in the room.
The invention consists principally in fixing at the top of the refrigerating
room a large but shallow tank for containing the ice or other freezing material,
the said tank being of such size as to leave a space of from eight to twelve inches
wide all round between its sides and the walls of the room.
The top of the tank touches the ceiling or top of the refrigerating room or
chamber which is provided with a trap door or the like supplying the freezing
material to the tank at the bottom of which a pipe is led from one side thereof
through the wall of the room or chamber. This pipe is provided with a tap for
drawing off liquid from the tank when required.
.
The tank is supported on rectangular cross beams so set that the tank rests on
the upper angles thereof, and by this means the greatest possible refrigerating
area is obtained. The cross beams are held up by suitable props or supports at
the sides or walls of the room which is suitably packed or insulated to maintain
the low temperature.
By thus fitting the refrigerating tank at the top of the room or chamber the
warmer air is continually rising to and the colder air descending from the tank
and a circulation of the air is kept up until the whole of the air in the room
becomes equally cold, say 2 degrees below freezing point.
This arrangement will occupy very little space in the refrigerating room or
chamber.

Improvements in and connected with Brush and Comb Cleaners.
I, CHRISTINE HUB, of 13, Judemer Strasse, Trier, in the German Empire, Married
Woman, 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 hair brush and comb cleaner which can also be used
as a mane comb, and, by means of a brush attached to it, can be employed as a
grooming-brush for horses and the like.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 represents a cleaner constructed
in accordance with my invention but with the grooming brush and comb cleaner
removed, Figure 2 a modification with brush attached but with comb cleaner
remaved, Figure 3 a vertical section taken on the line -x of Figure 2, and
Figure 4 the comb cleaner.
To a handle a is fixed a row of teeth b which are bent at their free ends into
hooks c.
For the sake of simplicity the whole of this part of the apparatus may
be made in one piece, the handle and the teeth being composed of a plate cut like
a comb with the teeth bent into hooks at their free ends as shown. On the side
of the teeth opposite to that at which the hooks c are placed are secured two guide
bars furnished with guide grooves e as shown clearly in Figure 3. A brush f
furnished on its edges with fillets fitting into the guide grooves e can be pushed
in between the guide bars d. The brush is prevented from being pushed out at
the other side by a third bar or stop d. By these arrangements the brush can
be easily changed. At its free end the brush is provided with a carbine hook k
which serves to receive the comb cleaner shown in Figure 4. This comb cleaner
consists of a ring secured to a ball g in which horse-hair i forming the cleaning
medium is fixed. In order to protect the apparatus from rust it is preferably
made of German silver or is nickeled or galvanized. But it is obvious that the
apparatus may be finished or ornamented in any desired manner according to
circumstances.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A comb and brush cleaner which consists of a metal comb furnished at one end
with a handle and at its other end with teeth bent to a hook shape, the said comb
being provided on its upper surface with a brush fitting into guides and having
fixed thereto by means of a carbine hook a comb cleaner consisting of horse-hair,
substantially as described.

Device for Holding Down Ladies Skirts in Cycling.
I, HEINRICH LUDWIG ANDREAS TIMм, of Eppendorferbaum, 16, Hamburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Boat Owner, 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 a device attached to the skirts of ladies riding on
bicycles for the purpose of preventing these skirts from flapping or fluttering
and from being in part lifted up. This device can be readily adapted to every
skirt, does not wear it out and can be manufactured at a very small cost.
Although this device does not allow the dress to be lifted, it does not impede
the movement when pedalling in the ordinary manner and hence does not interfere
with the riding.
This device is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings.
As shown in these drawings a tube a is fixed to the skirt 6 and may be secured
thereto directly or sewn with the interposition of a band to this skirt, gown or
dress. An india rubber cord c is passed through the tube a, one end being fixed
to the top of the said tube a.
This india rubber cord c is looped up at its other end and carries in this loop
a spring hook, which, however, may be replaced by another suitable spring
fastening.
This device acts as follows:-One of these devices is sewn to the skirt or dress
for each leg and in order to prevent the dress from flapping about or being lifted
up, the spring hook is fixed to a ring attached for this purpose to the wearer's
boots.
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 device for preventing the flapping, fluttering or lifting of the skirt, gown
or dress of ladies riding a bicycle characterized by an india rubber cord e passed
through a tube fixed to the skirt &c. and provided with a spring hook.
