Improvements in and relating to Mantles for Incandescent
Gas Lights.
I, HANS BLUCHER, D.Ph. of 7 Marsiliusstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire,
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 :--
This invention relates to the mantles employed in incandescent gas lights and its
objects are to render such mantles stronger, more durable and more elastic. These
mantles consist of cotton or other similar or suitable textures impregnated or treated
in such a manner as to produce a material which becomes incandescent and is
practically infusible in an
an atmospheric gas flame.
In carrying this invention into effect, the mantles which have already been
impregnated or treated by any of the known methods to enable them to become
incandescent, are placed in a concentrated alcoholic solution of shellac, to which
may be added either or any of the following-Magnesium silicate, magnesium
chloride, hydrated silicic acid. The mantles, being removed from the solution; are
dried whilst being held in their proper form, in a Bunsen burner flame, which frees
them from all organic matters. The mantles are then preferably again subjected
to treatment with the alcoholic solution and again dried. The degree of firmness
and elasticity imparted to the mantles may be varied by varying the substances
added to the solution. If desired, other suitable or similar resinous bodies may be
substituted for the shellac.
The materials already mentioned as being added to the shellac solution may, if
desired, be substituted by aluminium silicate, the double silicate of roagnesium and
aluminium, or silicate of potassium.
The first treatment of the mantles by the alcoholic solution and its contained
additional ingredients may, if desired, be combined with or form part of the
treatment or impregnation by which the mantles receive their power of becoming
incandescent, and the second treatment takes place after the mantles have been
incinerated or burnt.
Mantles treated according to this invention possess great durability in use and
are capable of being packed and transported without damage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
::-
-
The process of treating mantles for incandescent gas lights, which consists in
impregnating them with shellac or other resinous material in conjunction with either
silicic acid, magnesium chloride, silicate of magnesium or other single or double
silicate or with two or more of these substances, substantially as and for the purpose.
herein before described.

Improved Device for Propelling Carriages and the like.
I, BENEDIKT FLAMM, Coachbuilder of 126 Tegernseeer Landstrasse, Munich,
in the Kingdom of Bavaria, German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The present invention consists of a carriage adapted to be driven by the occupant
or occupants by means of hand levers attached to cranks on the axles of the wheels.
and having guide slots in which pins on the carriage frame engage.
And in order to make this Specification more easily intelligible, reference is had
to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout
the several views:-
Fig. 1 being a side elevation and
Fig. 2 an end view of the said carriage.
The carriage illustrated has three wheels and seats for three occupants, and it is.
driven by means of the hand levers a a a a, two of which engage with cranks on the
axle of the two hind wheels and two with crank arms attached to the axle of the
front wheel. The said levers a aa a extend upwards and have their upper ends in
convenient position to be grasped by the occupants of the carriage. Towards their
lower ends all the levers are provided with guide slots bbbb, in which pins c c c c-
engage, said pins being fixed in the carriage frame and being of sufficient length to
allow for a slight lateral play of the hand levers. These pins not only serve as guides
for the levers, but also as fulcrums for the same.
The operation of the device is very simple, it being only necessary to move the
levers by hand in the direction requisite to turn the cranks in the desired way.
The cranks are advantageously placed at different angles, to enable the carriage
to be started at any point from one crank or the other, and avoiding a dead
centre.
I do not confine myself to the arrangement of seats for three persons, as the
carriage may be made to contain more or less according to requirement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention.
and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I claim is
In a carriage or the like, the combination of cranks or crank arms on the wheel
axles and driving levers a a a a to engage with said cranks, said levers extending
upwards and having their upper ends in position to be grasped by the occupants of
the carriage, and pins secured to the carriage frame, to serve in combination with
slots bbbb of the said levers, as guides and fulcrums for the same, substantially as
described and shown and for the purpose specified.

to H.M. Government 145 Strand London 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, reference being made
to the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification:—
A thermometer case for brewing and manufacturing purposes having a bent wire
handle in front B hinged at C and with plate A fastened at an angle to cover top
of case A forming part of B.
This handle fastens or clips under a rigid or hinged handle at back D or
the handles may be hinged and the plate fastened with hinges to front or back of
case independently, but if so made it would not be self closing.
The case may be described as having handles at top, wedge shaped and rounded
tops, forming a spring clip fastening and so fitted and made that it offers no
projections, thus enabling it to draw clear of any pipes or obstructions in the
vessels in which it may be used.
On one of the hinged handles is placed a plate which fits over top of case and
prevents the scale of thermometer falling out also retaining sufficient liquor to
wash the scale & retain the heat.
It is also self closing when handles are fastened with looped cord or chain in the
usual way, as in drawing up the case the handles are brought together and the
top of the case closes in the thermometer.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Astrakhan and like Goods.
I, CARL FRIEDRICH MULLER of the Firm of Christian August Schultze,
Successor, of 1 Jerusalemerstrasse, Berlin, 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 the manufacture of what is known in Germany as
"Krimmer" goods and in England as "Crimean lambs wool" or "Astrakhan "
goods.
Heretofore only one sided "Krimmer" goods have been produced on the loom,
and, as a consequence, two pieces had to be sewn together to produce the complete.
article.
Under my invention I produce an imitation double sided "Krimmer" by knitting
or crochetting a peculiar thread made from a special mixture of wool having knobs.
or thickened parts on it which represent the small curls of the genuine article.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have here--
unto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows the thread.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the thread at x-x.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of the thread at y-y.
The "Krimmer" thread is formed of two threads a, b which are of different
thicknesses, the thick one b, having at intervals in its length thickened parts or
knobs c.
When making the compound thread the thin thread a, which is a cotton
one, must be kept tight whilst the thick thread b, which is a woollen one, is formed
into the knobs c which are kept in place by the thread a passing through them..
The knobs c produce the curled appearance of the genuine "Krimmer."
To impart to the new compound thread the peculiar feel and gloss of the genuine
"Krimmer" the woollen thread is made of a mixture of Cheviot yarn and lustre
yarn. The Cheviot yarn gives the feel whilst the lustre yarn gives the gloss.
The knobs are made on the thread in the same manner as the loops on ordinary
looped or knotted yarn.
The threads a, b when dyed become felted together and appear to the eye as a.
single thread.
The new compound thread may be used for producing any kind of "Krimmer"
goods such as caps, collars, muffs, etc., being knitted or crotchetted into the proper
shape.
Heretofore such goods were only made by machinery but now, by the use of the
new thread, they can be made by hand.
Goods manufactured with the new thread do not shrink in the same manner as
goods made in the ordinary manner.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A compound "Krimmer" thread consisting of a thin cotton thread a and a
thicker thread b made of a mixture of Cheviot yarn and lustre yarn, substantially-
as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Perforated Tune Discs and Sheets for Mechanical
Musical Instruments.
I, FRIEDRICH ADOLF RICHTER of Rudolstadt in the Principality of Schwarz--
burg-Rudolstadt, 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 :-
Hitherto perforated cards or music discs or music sheets for mechanical musical.
instruments have been constructed in such a manner that they could be used for one:
kind of music only, either for striking steel reeds or tongues or for opening and.
closing valves of harmoniums or flute-stops.
The object of my invention consists in making the said cards or music discs or
music sheets for double action so that one part of the disc or sheet may be capable
of striking steel tongues whilst the other part of the same disc or sheet is capable of
opening and closing valves.or stops. By this means it is possible to apply at the
same time different kinds of music in the same piece of music.
My invention will be fully understood by the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a top view of a music disc and
Figure 2 a top view of a music sheet, both constructed according to my
invention.
On that part of the disc Figure 1 or the sheet Figure 2, which is arranged for
striking steel tongues the music signs form apertures 6 of equal size and the other
portion of the disc or sheet which is arranged for opening and closing valves or
stops, shows apertures a of such a length as is necessary for producing the desired
length of tone.
The arrangement of the music signs can preferably be made so that the signs for
the one kind of music run through the middle part of the track of signs as
represented in Figure 2.
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. Perforated cards or music discs or music sheets having the one part arranged
for striking steel tongues and the other part arranged for opening and closing
valves or stops so that two different kinds of music may be played at the same time.
by means of the same disc or sheet substantially as described.
2. In perforated cards or music discs or music sheets the arrangement of two
kinds of music signs, the one kind forming apertures of equal size being destined.
for striking steel tongues and the other kind of music signs forming apertures of a
length as necessary for producing the desired length of tone being destined for
opening and closing valves or stops, substantially as described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Spirits, and in Apparatus for
that purpose.
I, JEROME JAMES MURPHY, of Ashton, Cork, Ireland, Brewer, 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 means or preventing the formation of fusel oil aldehyde,
and acetic acid and other deleterious ingredients in the manufacture of spirits and
also preventing the waste of alcohol converted into these substances. For this
purpose, I apply to the vessels in which the wort or wash is fermented, apparatus
by which the temperature of the contents during fermentation is prevented from
rising above 72° Fahrenheit. This prevents certain chemical reactions which,
under ordinary treatment, produce fusel oil, aldehyde and other injurious compounds
which become perceptible when the fermented liquid is distilled and which, by their
production, involve a loss of all the alcohol that goes to their formation. I also
promote the fermenting process by blowing air or other suitable gas from time to
time through the fermenting liquid.
Apparatus for keeping the liquid at the desired temperature and injecting air or
gas may be varied.
In the accompanying drawing which is a part vertical section of a fermenting vat
I have illustrated a convenient form of apparatus for the purpose indicated.
A is part of the side and B the bottom of the vat shewn only in outline, C is a
coil of pipes through which water at a temperature under 72° Fahrenheit is caused
to circulate continuously during the fermentation of the liquid in the vat; D and
E are pipes forming a cross a little above the bottom of the vat, the junction of these
pipes communicating with a vertical pipe F. The pipes D and E are perforated
with numerous small holes, so that air or other suitable gas sent from time to time
by a pump or blown down the pipe F can issue from these holes and bubble through
the liquid.
The apparatus above described may be fixed permanently in the fermenting
vessel or may be removeable.
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. In the manufacture of spirits, the herein described method of preventing
formation of fusel oil, aldehyde, acetic acid and other deleterious ingredients, and
the corsequent loss of alcohol, by maintaining the wort during fermentation at a
temperature not exceeding 72° Fahrenheit.
2. Blowing air or other suitable gas through the fermenting liquid, substantially
as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In combination with a fermenting vat, a coil of pipes for water circulation -
and pipes for injection of air or gas arranged in the lower part of the vat,
substantially as described.

and
My invention relates to a construction of paper roll holder as I shall describe
referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan,
Fig. 2 is an end view,
Fig. 3 is a part back view,
Fig. 4 is a part section on the line of Fig. 1.
The paper roll holder illustrated in the drawings, consists of two semicylindrical
sections A and B preferably of skeleton construction, the lower section A having
at its back edge D ears CC with holes d for fixing by nails or screws.
On the front E of A is a horizontally projecting shelf F, the front edge of which
curves upward a little and has a serrated edge f.
At each end of the shelf F is a laterally projecting locking lug G.
The upper section B has at the ends of its front edge H projecting lugs hh
which engage with the lugs G G. The back edge I of B closes down upon the
back edge D of A in front of a lug or catch D₁ which curves slightly inwards.
The elasticity of the upper section B allows its back edge I to be forced down
causing sufficient engagement of it with the lug or catch D₁ to hold the sections A
and B firmly together. But when desired, the upper section B can be removed by
exerting sufficient force to disengage the edge I from the lug or catch D', when it
can be raised as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2.
To give passage for the paper from a roll J, the inner corner e of the shelf F is
rounded off, and the lower portion e¹ of the front edge H is slightly cut away and
rounded as illustrated in Fig. 4, leaving a clear passage F1 between the lower
portion of the front edge H and the top of the shelf F, through which the strip J¹
of paper can be drawn from the roll J.
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 paper roll holder consisting of two skeleton sections, the one section having
a shelf and serrated edge and the two sections being held together by locking lugs
in front and a lug behind on the lower section with which the back edge of the
upper section is engaged, substantially as described.
2. In a paper roll holder, the combination of the semicylindrical lower section A
having the shelf F with a serrated edge and laterally projecting locking lugs GG,
with the semicylindrical upper section B having lugs h engaging with the locking
lugs G G, and the lug or catch D₁ with which the upper section is elastically
engaged, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Impermeable Paint for Mirrors.
A communication from GUILLAUME PHILIPPS, of Brussels, in the Kingdom of
Belgium.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 paints hitherto used to protect mirrors from atmospheric influences have
not been impermeable to air, and it has long been an object of research to produce
a paint which shall absolutely preserve the metallic coating with which mirrors are
covered from all contact with the atmosphere.
The idea was to find a material entirely unaffected by air and capable of resisting
the passage of air through its pores.
This invention to which the name of "Mouopole" has been given, consists of a
compound of suitable proportions of "Damar-Batavia gum, turpentine, China-clay,
and pulverised graphite," prepared in the following manner :-
The Damar gum is boiled in twice its volume of turpentine down to a ten per cent.
concentration, and, after cooling, sufficient turpentine to dissolve the mass is
added. Subsequently, an intimate mixture of the resulting product with the China
clay and powdered graphite in a suitable mixing or kneading machine is made, and
finally the mixture is passed through a colour grinding mill, when it is ready for
application as a coating.
The proportions of the various ingredients may be varied according to
particular requirements, the following have however been found to give satisfactory
results riz.
For producing 1 kilo after boiling
These proportions are given merely
local and other conditions.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is ;-
1. An impermeable paint for mirrors into the composition of which the above-
named materials enter.
2. An impermeable paint for mirrors compounded of the materials above-named
and prepared according to the process as above-described.
3. The impermeable paint for mirrors substantially as described.

horizontal E position. The top part of press F is detached from screws and
platform when out of use.
The work is performed by 2 men as follows viz., three cords are placed in the
opening G shewn on platform C, the hay cake H is next placed on platform C, the
top part F is then put on, the screws A are brought up and passed into the slots I
at each end of the press the pressing is then done by screwing. When
sufficiently tightened the tyers are passed through the openings G on underside of
press by the aid of a forked rod J. When fastened (which is done in the ordinary
way) the screws A are released from the slots I and drop on to the rests K the cross
head nuts L are put back into position for fresh operations. The top part F
(press) slides off on a detached rest, and the truss removed, everything is then
ready for repetition.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
1st. The novelty formation and mode of working of the screws from horizontal E
to perpendicular D. The slots I in end of press in which the screws A are

1, FREDRIK FORSBERG, of Sandviken, in the Kingdom of Sweden, Engineer,
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 improved method is intended to be employed in the manufacture of narrow
and at the same time extremely thin bands, of for instance, from 4 to 10 milli-
metres in width and about 0.6 millimetres thick. These bands are best made of
originally round wire; as however such wire is not supplied by ordinary rolling
mills of sufficiently small or accurate transverse section the hot rolling must be
preceded by a cold treatment whereby prior to the hot rolling a wire is obtained
of the desired transverse section. The novelty of this method lies in the fact that
the material after this cold treatment (by drawing) is subjected to hot rolling
whereby in a single operation the transverse section of the wire is changed just as
much as can take place in four or five operations by cold rolling.
In order to perfectly elucidate the mode of manufacture it may be assumed that
a band of 5.5 millimetres wide and 0.4 millimetres thick is to be produced.
The wire obtained from the wire rolling mill which may be used for this purpose
is 5.5 millimetres thick, some rolling mills indeed supply such wire of 4 to 4-5 milli-
metres thick. In any case the wire must first be drawn in the cold state, then, if
it is to be rolled flat, it must not be thicker than 2.2 millimetres, otherwise the
finished band obtains a greater width than desired. After this the wire is finished
by rolling in the hot state in a single operation to a thickness of 0.6 millimetres
and then in the cold state to 0.4 millimetres thick.
If the wire had been rolled in the cold state to a diameter of 0-6 millimetres it
would have to pass through the cold rolling mill 4 or 5 times for this purpose and
to be heated several times in order to remove the brittleness produced by the cold
rolling.
The above is an example; the method may however be applied to all those cases
where bands of a very small yet exact transverse section are desired which cannot
be obtained by flat-rolling of ordinary rolled wire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
The method of manufacturing thin, flat bands or strips from bars of iron, steel
or other metallic wire, characterized by the fact that the metallic wire is brought to
a constant transverse section by drawing in the cold state, and then reduced by
hot rolling to approximately the desired final transverse section, in order to finally
obtain the exact transverse section by cold rolling.

I, JOHN BOORER, Fern Cottage, Crawley Road, Horsham, Sussex, Carpenter,
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 new or improved combination tool, and consists of a
wrench, tube-wrench, and vice constructed in such manner that it may be employed
for either of the purposes to which such tools are ordinarily applied.
In order that the nature of my invention and the manner of performing the
same may be clearly understood, I will proceed to describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows my new or improved combination tool complete, and adapted for
use as a vice.
Fig. 2 shows the same adapted for use as a wrench.
Figs. 3, 4, and 5, detail views.
When required to be used as a vice, the tool, as illustrated by Fig. 1, is provided
with a holder or support a, by means of which it is screwed down or fastened to
the bench or table where it is to be used. The tool is securely held in position
in the holder or support a by a thumb screw or equivalent device b, which
prevents it sliding out of place.
The vice is operated in the usual way by lever or handle c which is easily
removed when desired.
The end d of hollow screwed spindle e is roughened or serrated for the purpose
of giving a better grip for the hand when the tool is being used as a wrench.
The screwed spindle f has a square thread externally corresponding to the
internal thread of the hollow part e and fits therein.
The sleeve or tubular portion i (Fig. 4) passes over the part e and is secured
by screw at k, such screw entering groove k (Figure 3) and holding the parts e
and i together.
The jaws g, h, are serrated as shown at 1 for the purpose of enabling the tool to
be employed as a tube wrench.
When it is required to use the tool as a wrench, the holder or support a is
removed. The dimensions of the apparatus are such that it may be conveniently
carried about in the pocket of a workman when necessary.
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 :-

Improvements in Pen-holders.
Year: 1894

page_text: Date of Application, 26th Apr.. 1894-Accepted, 25th May, 1894
Improvements in Pen-holders.
I JOSEPH WILLIAM HOWARD, of 13, Brandon Street, Gravesend in the
County of Kent, a Civil Servant in H.M. Custons Department, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to Improvements in Pen-holders, and has for its object to so
construct such pen-holders, whereby the process of fitting a pen or nib into same
will be rendered much easier and speedier, whilst at the same time the holder will
retain the pen or nib in a thoroughly secure manner, without any risk of the latter
becoming unduly fixed in the holder when it is required to remove the pen or nib
for renewal or similar purposes.
And in order that the said invention may be the more readily understood, I have
shewn same upon the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein :
Fig. 1 is a view of the pen-holder adjusted in a position ready to receive the
pen or nib,
Fig. 2 being a similar view with the holder adjusted to hold the pen or nib,
whilst
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section with the pen or nib fixed in position in the
holder.
Referring to the drawings, a is a metal or other barrel which fits tightly upon
the handle and is secured thereto by a pin or by any other suitable means.
The
upper part of the said barrel a has a cut-away portion a', of the width of the
average pen or nib, or somewhat wider if desirable, provided for the purpose of
enabling the pen or nib c (Fig. 3) to have its upper surface flush with the surface
of the said barrel a when such pen or nib is placed in position in the holder. To
maintain the pen or nib c in position, I provide a sleeve d, which slides upon the
barrel a and over the portion of the pen or nib c which lies in the cut-away
portion a² of the barrel a, thereby holding such pen or nib securely in position.
A stop e is provided upon the rear extremity of the barrel a, for the purpose of
preventing the sliding-sleeved being slid too far along the pen-holder, and the front
edge of the barrel a is slightly bent outward, or flanged as at a' for a similar
purpose.
In the drawing the handle b is shewn as being formed separate from the barrel a,
but if desirable it can be formed integral with the latter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The improvements in pen-holders consisting in providing a barrel having a cut-
away portion at one end to enable a pen or nib to fit in same and be flush with the
surface of such barrel, which also is provided with a stop at one end and with a
turned-out edge at the other, upon which barrel slides a sleeve designed to hold in
position a pen or nib placed in the cut-away portion, substantially as described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
