IMPROVED UMBRELLA OR PARASOL COVERS WITH HOLLOW WOVEN STRIPS OR STRIPES TO PREVENT THE RUPTURES OR BREAKAGES IN THE FOLDS OF THE SAME
Year: 1885

page_text: I CARL HEINRICH FISCHER, Merchant, of No 55 Pillnitzer Strasse in the City of
Dresden, Saxony, Germany do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
IMPROVED UMBRELLA OR PARASOL COVERS WITH HOLLOW WOVEN STRIPS OR
STRIPES TO PREVENT THE RUPTURES OR BREAKAGES IN THE FOLDS OF THE SAME,
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 improved umbrella or parasol covers with hollow woven
strips or stripes in order to prevent the rupture, breakage or tearing of the said
cover in the folds. As the breakage or rupture of the silk covers for umbrellas and
such like bear no comparison with the durability of the other parts of the covers
it has been proposed to do away with silk as covers and to substitue another
material for the same.
Silk however as covers offers so many advantages that it appears desirable to
find some means of overcoming the aforementioned disadvantages in order to give
the said covers greater durability. This present invention overcomes all the dis-
advantages of the silks and silk like fabrics by introducing a strengthening web
at those parts which are folded in closing the umbrella, sunshade or parasol.
In order to attain this object I employ a double or a hollow fabric by means of
which each layer can move independently of the other so that if the upper layer
is subjected to friction the lower layer will not be affected in the slightest degree
and vice versa.
It is immaterial what kind of fabric is employed for making this strip or stripe
or what kind of weaving is used, for instance rep, twill, satin etc.
If it appears desirous to employ hollow weaving for strengthening the part
where the folds are made the same is manufactured as follows-The warp is the
same as with other plain woven materials single beam. The chief fabric is made
on eight shafts with two treadles and two further treadles are necessary for the
hollow part which is formed by dividing the warp in two equal parts so that each
of the four shafts form a fabric for themselves.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
In covers for umbrellas parasols and other similar articles the arrangement
application and employment of a double or a hollow fabric or material at those
parts of the stuff or fabric which is folded in closing the said umbrella or parasol
for the purpose of preventing the rupture, breakage or tearing of the said folded
part.

A FAST BOILING KETTLE
Year: 1885

page_text: I GEORGE FREDERICK ANDREWS Civil Engineer of 106 Melbourne Grove East
Dulwich in the County of Surrey do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for A FAST BOILING KETTLE to be as follows:-
The body of Kettle may be in any existing form, except the bottom which must
be hollow or conical, I then fit a double cone made of tin copper or other suitable
metal, immediately under the conical bottom this cone having at the extremity or
lower part of cone 3 or 4 tubes through which the water flows into the space
formed between the two cones (or double cone). At the centre or top part of the
said double cone I fit another tube which runs up into the body of Kettle. The
top of this tube is then fitted with a conical cap which (when the steam or heated
water is blown up from the double cone) throws it down again into the body of
water thereby heating it very expeditiously.

I GEORGE FREDERICK ANDREWS, Civil Engineer, of 106 Melbourne Grove, East
Dulwich, in the County of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The body of the Kettle may be in any existing form or otherwise except the
bottom which must be conical, I then fit a double cone made of Tin, Copper or
other suitable metal, immediately under and within about a 1/4 inch of the conical
bottom of Kettle. This double cone having at the extremity or lower part 3 or 4
tubes connecting it with the body of Kettle, through which the water flows into
the space formed between the two cones or double cone.
I fit another tube or pipe which runs up about 3 parts the height of the body
of Kettle, the top of this tube is fitted with a hood or conical cap which when the
steam or heated water is blown up from the double cone throws it down again into
the body of water thereby heating it very expeditiously.
This invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings
in which Figure 1 shows the invention in connection with a round or Bachelor's
Kettle and Figure 2 an oval iron or tin kettle. A is the kettle having a conical
bottom B under which is the double cone C which is preferably broader near its
periphery as shown on the drawings. The double cone C is connected with the
kettle A by means of tubes D D, near its periphery and by a centre tube or
pipe E, fitted with a conical cap F.
When the water in the kettle is heated it circulates in the direction indicated
by the arrows, and thus being caused to pass continually through the hottest
parti.e. the double cone C, the water is rapidly raised to boiling point.
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
Apparatus comprising a kettle with an extra vessel underneath, the two being
connected by short pipes near the periphery and with a hooded pipe at the centre
as shown in the annexed drawings for establishing free circulation and rapid
heating of the contents as set forth.

A NEW OR IMPROVED COUGH MIXTURE
Year: 1885

page_text: I, THOMAS NEEDHAM of Buxton Road, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Chemist, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED COUGH
MIXTURE," 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 my invention is to prepare and manufacture a new or improved
compound or mixture possessing special properties for easing, soothing, and curing
bronchial or other form of coughs.
To prepare a mixture according to my invention I employ the various ingredients
hereinafter mentioned and proceed as follows;
I take 3 lb of Theriaca or Treacle, and 3 lb of oxymel of scillæ or squills, and to
these I add 2 lb 6 oz of water which must be mixed by heating gently, and when
the above preparation is cold, add thereto the following solutions and tinctures.
1 oz solution of Benzoic acid (strength 40 grains to 1 oz) 2 oz" solution of morphia
hydrochlor (strength 12 grains to 2 oz) tincture of Opium B.P. 41 oz", spirits of
camphor 1 oz 3 drachms of sulphuric æther and chloroform mixed in the pro-
portion of 1 and 4. Wine of antimony 3 oz", tincture of squills 3 oz, and spirit of
chloroform 3 oz. To all the above ingredients water must be added until the
prescribed mixture weighs 10 lb. 10 oz', which after being well shaken is ready to
be put into bottles for consumption, such mixture being found and proved to be
very efficacious in soothing and curing coughs.
The above recipe would be as effective if paregoric were used instead of Benzoic
acid, but the spirit contained in paregoric helps to harden the lungs thereby partially
destroying the beneficial effects which the mixture gives.
And chlorodyne might be used instead of the morphia solution and the chloroform
and æther solution both of which may be omitted if the chlorodyne were introduced,
but preference is given to the solutions because when chlorodyne is used it is
necessary to shake the mixture for a long period, and this cannot always be relied
upon.

page_text: Having now described my improved cough mixture and the manner of preparing
the same, I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the exact
ingredients set forth, nor to the exact proportions specified, but what I claim is
"
The preparation of a cough mixture where the parts employed are substantially
and materially the same, and not colorably differing from those set forth in this
Specification.

the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HARNESS FOR HORSES to be as
follows:-
This Invention has for its object to render horse collars, knee caps and other
parts of harness extremely light and to a great extent self adjusting thus greatly
promoting the comfort of the animal and obviating chafing or galling.
To effect this I line the collar, knee cap, or other portion of the harness with
india rubber or other suitable material and inflate the same with air.
I thus convert the lining into an elastic cushion that readily accommodates
itself to every movement of the animal.
My invention is at once simple and effective.

page_text: Improvements in Harness for Horses.
I, WILLIAM ARMES of St. Augustines Street Norwich 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:-
This Invention has for its object to render harness for horses more convenient
and comfortable than heretofore.
To effect this I line the saddle and collar and likewise the knee caps and any
other parts of the harness where required or convenient with india rubber cloth or
any other suitable equivalent-A small tube provided with a screw cap is fitted in
the lining of each part in any convenient position-This tube serves both as an
inlet and outlet pipe through which the lining can be either inflated with or
emptied of air or gas.
When the lining is so inflated the collar saddle or other portion of the harness
so lined is rendered much lighter and more comfortable to the horse as owing to
its elasticity it readily contracts and expands thus accommodating itself to its
movements and so preventing the animal being chafed or galled as now so
frequently occurs.
My improved harness will be found. particularly suitable for heavy draught
horses as it greatly reduces the weight of the harness which they have to carry.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shews a saddle-Figure 2 a horse collar
and Figure 3 a knee cap all fitted with an elastic inflated lining according to my
invention The inlet and outlet tube is not shewn as it may be of any ordinary
construction.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
Fitting a saddle or horse collar or any other part of the harness of a horse with
an elastic lining of india rubber cloth or other suitable material and providing the
same with an inlet and outlet tube substantially in the manner and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and shewn.

I,. SAMUEL COOK, the younger, of Bury in the County of Lancaster Spring
Maker do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
WEFT-FORKS USED IN LOOMS FOR WEAVING a communication to me from abroad.
by Clement Dupire of Roubaix France, 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 " weft-forks" made of sheet metal
and consists in forming the prongs of the fork in separate pieces of metal so that in
case one of them is accidentally broken it can be replaced without further loss.
And in order that my Invention may be more fully understood I hereto annex a
sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof.
Figure 1 represents side view or elevation of a complete fork, Fig. 2 is a plan
view thereof and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the underside. Fig. 4 is a detached view
of one of the prongs.
The body of the fork is composed of a small strip of metal a suitably punched
and doubled under at b so as to enclose a brass bush c which may be further
secured by brazing or soldering. The slots d and e (see Fig. 5) are then opposite
to each other ready for the insertion of the prongs of the tail ends
of which are
first passed through the slots on one side of the bush and then the lugs h are passed
through on the other side and the whole three secured by means of a pin i.
When
it is necessary to replace a damaged prong the pin is withdrawn the old-prong
removed and the pin returned to its place, and thus no loss is incurred beyond
that of the prong itself.
The method of securing the prongs may be modified in various ways but the one
herein illustrated is probably the most convenient and inexpensive.

REVIVIFICATION OF HYDRATE OF LIME AF PURIFICATION GAS
Year: 1885

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I, JOHN REID Workhouse Spring Hill Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Resident Engineer I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for The
REVIVIFICATION OF HYDRATE OF LIME AFTER IT HAS BEEN USED FOR THE
PURIFICATION OF GAS to be as follows:-
The process by which I claim the revivification of the hydrate of lime is by the
absorption of the impurities sulphuretted hydrogen, carbonic acid and other
sulphur compounds which it has taken up from the crude gas. I subject the said
hydrate of lime to heat in kiln, stove, or any other method by which heat can be
applied to it after it has been removed from the purifiers. After this process the
hydrate of lime will be fit for use again and will retain its various qualities as a
gas purifier, and will give the advantage of reducing the resisting pressure to one
third.

Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE REVIVIFICATION
OF HYDRATE OF LIME AFTER IT HAS BEEN USED FOR THE PURIFICATION OF GAS
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The process which I propose for the revivification of Hydrate of Lime after it has
been used as a gas purifier is by placing the same in or on an apparatus sub-
stantially as hereinafter described and by the application of heat so as to evaporate
or drive off the impurities of sulphuretted hydrogen, carbonic acid, ammonia
& all other impurities it has taken up. By this process I obtain a better purifier
a reduction of resisting pressure in purifiers and a saving of new lime The lime
after being removed from the purifiers is put on an open kiln or stove (heated by
fire, steam, gas, or any other method by which heat can be obtained) in a layer of
from four to five inches thick & occasionally turned over, by which process at a
temperature of from 120° to 150° Fahrenheit the impurities are driven off in from
two to three hours. The kiln now in use is an open kiln twelve feet long and four
feet wide with four longitudinal flues and is capable of revivifying lime sufficient
for the purification of eighteen million feet of gas per annum.
A drawing of this kiln is given shewing plan, longitudinal & cross sections.
I do not consider myself bound in carring out my invention to adhere precisely
any
dimentions or statisticts given in the above description of the apparatus
and process.

Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st The application of heat to spent lime after it has been used to purify gas in
order to revivify and purify it from the impurities it has taken up and so restore
its qualities as a gas purifier.
2nd The use of the apparatus or any modification of it as and for the purpose
herein before described.
3rd The combination with such apparatus of any means for turning or agitating

IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDRAULIC CEMENTS
Year: 1885

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
T
I, PHILLIPS COSBY LOVETT of Liscombe Park in the County of Buckingham-
shire, Esquire; a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of the said County
do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDRAULIC
CEMENTS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in' and by the following statement :-
My Invention consists in the production of a peculiar Hydraulic cement by
combining in certain proportions two natural mineral deposits which exist on my
estate of Liscombe Park, Leighton Buzzard, Bucks; and in afterwards subjecting
them to special processes by which these minerals are brought into a proper con-
dition for use in building, terra-cotta manufacture, road making, and all purposes
for which cement or plaster can be employed.
Of these minerals-the first is nearly white in colour, and its principal con-
stituents are by analysis as follows

page_text: In producing my improved cement I first dry the rough minerals separately and
then grind and mix them together in the proportions of 70 per cent of the white
mineral No 1 and 30 per cent of the grey mineral N° 2 by the admixture of
sufficient water to render them plastic.
The combined mineral is then made up into balls or other convenient form, dried,
and placed in a kiln through which the flame from a fire below is passed until the
mineral is brought to a white heat; being tested from time to time until baked
quite hard, when it is allowed to cool gradually in the kiln.
The cement produced by my admixture of the two above-mentioned natural
mineral deposits possesses the following exceptionally valuable properties:-
A power of setting, when so desired, in twenty minutes either in air or under
water without cracking or "blowing."
During the processes of working or use in the air the quickness of the set may
be reduced as desired by mixing with sand.
Also that this mixture can be sent to any part of the world in the shape of bricks,
slabs, or any other convenient form for packing; and is not liable to deterioration
in its setting power from damp during carriage.
Such bricks or slabs may also be used for building or paving purposes, while any
accidentally broken in carriage may be ground up for cement.

I
My material is also adapted for use as terra cotta, and for tiles; and may also be
employed when set in large blocks for sculptors' purposes as statuary.
}
There are many other applications of the material which it is unnecessary to
enumerate.
For some uses I vary the proportions in which I mix the above natural minerals.
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 employment of the hereinbefore referred to two natural minerals, by mixing
and treating them to produce hydraulic cement as described.
