page_text: An Improved Gas Burner.
ROBERT WOOD, Engineer, 126, Radcliffe Road, Haulgh, Bolton, Lancashire, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The gas goes through a pot inserted in the inside of the brass tube near the top
the holes of which there are two are placed at right & left angles or straight and
the inlet of gas to each hole is made hollow so as to guide the gas before it reaches
another pot jet, which forms the light, this jet is slit. The pot in which the gas is
guided is compelled to be made of a substance that will resist the heat therefore I
make them of delph or a composition to form the same effect, the same is required
for the jet that forms the light the first increases the gas presure and guides it
to the slot in the top of the burner, which is round.

Improvements in Shuttles for Weaving.
I, WASUDEO BALWANT SOMAN, of 20, Parel Cross Road, Parel, Bombay, India,
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:-
My said invention relates to an improved weaving shuttle so constructed as to
facilitate the threading of the weft through the delivery orifice of the shuttle.
With the shuttles having the delivery orifice as hitherto constructed it is
customary to thread the shuttle by placing the weft near the inner end of the
delivery passage and then for the user to suck the end through with the mouth.
The object of my said invention is to obviate the necessity for this unpleasant
and unwholesome operation by enabling the user to draw the weft through by
means of a hook such as the ordinary reed hook used by weavers for "drawing in
the warp. The delivery passages as hitherto made are of such proportions and
shape as to involve a right angled turning and prevent the use of a hook in such
a manner.
دو
The accompanying drawings to which reference is hereinafter made show a
shuttle made in accordance with my said invention.
In the said drawings
Fig. 1 is a plan of a shuttle containing a cop or bobbin of weft (a).
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan of the delivery end of the shuttle on a plane y-y
of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation on a plane x-x of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 shows a common reed hook such as above mentioned.
According to my said invention the part of the shuttle e where the weft passes
is internally channel shaped and guarded at the outlet by two wires d d or other
suitable material for preventing wear. At c I provide a wire loop.
To pass the thread 6 the weaver holds it near the wire loop c where it can be
reached from the outside of the orifice e by a reed hook such as shown in Fig. 5
by means of which it is drawn outwards.
my
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is: -
A shuttle having an internally channel shaped and externally guarded delivery
passage e in combination with an internal wire loop c substantially as and for the
purpose set forth and described.

Improvements in Preparations for use in Making Sausages,
and Sausage Meat.
I, THOMAS BARDSLEY, of Messrs. Bardsley & Co., Butcher's Engineer, of
115, Liverpool Road, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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 production of a wholesome, nourishing, & palatable
mixture, for addition to the meat used in making sausages & sausage meat.
As is well known, in the trade, the material at present principally used is
biscuit dust, & ground bread, the latter not at all a desirable adjunct if only on
account of the yeast in it.
These mixtures again are often colored with dyes, aniline, or otherwise, which
if not absolutely injurious, are by no means beneficial to digestion.
To acheive my obiect I use Austrian flour. farina and round rice to which I
add pepsine the antidvspeptic qualities of which are well known, and to these
again I add horseradish which in the powdered state is a condiment, which both
provokes the appetite and assists digestion.
I propose to mix the aforesaid substances in the following proportions.
Austrian flour, four cwt.
Farina one half-cwt.
Ground rice one half-cwt.
and to the five hundred weight thus obtained, I add of pepsine two ounces, and
of ground horse radish seven pounds. This is then to be mixed into a dough.
and aerated with carbonic acid gas in exactly the same manner as ordinary aerated
bread, and then baked in loaves of any convenient size, and then cut up, dried
by means of hot air, and ground into powder, when it is ready for addition to the
meat.
Thus in my mixture I have the purest and best of farinaceous food, and in
addition two other substances both appetizing and anti-dyspeptic, and by its use
the sausage and sausage meat a very favorite form of food may be freely taken
by persons to whom it is at present prohibited on account of its ill effects dyspeptic
or otherwise.
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 what I claim is :-
First. The preparation to be used in the making of sausages and sausage meat,
consisting of Austrian flour, farina, ground rice, pepsine, and horse radish, mixed
and prepared substantially in the manner, and for the purpose herein before
described.

Improvements in Wrenches or Spanners.
I, EMIL LIEBERT, of Elberfeld, No. 10, Hellerstrasse, Germany, Manufacturer,
lo hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
e performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to an improved screw wrench or spanner by means of which
the width of the mouth can be adjusted instantaneously to any size of nut or bolt
head within certain limits for which the instrument is applicable. No screwing
is required for opening or closing the jaws; simply shifting one of them by loosing
the hold of the handle and crasping it firm again is all what is required for opening
and closing the mouth to suit any width of a nut or bolt head.
I attain this object by the wrench shown on the accompanying drawing, in which
Fig. 1 shows a plan view the mouth of wrench nearly closed;
Fig. 2 is a side view seen from the left side of Fig. 1;
"
3 is a similar view as that shown in Fig. 1 with the mouth opened.
The new wrench consists of a main body forming the handle A at one end, which
at its upper side takes the shape of a fork B, the two prongs of which B and B
are connected at their upper end by the head or fast jaw C. This head is broader
than the parts B and B and it projects beyond them in thickness at both sides,
and also at the end sides. The slot E left between the two shanks or prongs B
and B is carried through the body of the jaw C, so that the leg D of the movable
head or jaw F can pass through and be guided therein.
A forked arm or lever G reaches over the body B, B' and is connected therewith
movably by a pin H serving as fulcrum so that the arm G can be turned on that
pin H or opened and closed with regard to the position of the handle A. At the
lower end of the leg 1) a pin L is passed through it and through a corresponding
slot K in the arm G, so that when the arm G is turned on the pin H the leg D and
head F will be moved towards or away from the head C; the mouth of the wrench
will be opened or closed and it will thus be seen that this instrument acts very
quickly and that it can be set instantaneously to fit any size of nut or bolt head.
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 screw wrench or spanner consisting of a handle A with a forked part B, B₁ at
one end and a head C, connecting the parts B and B at their upper ends and of
a leg D passing through the slot in the head C and being guided therein and
between the prongs B, B'; said leg D having a head F at its upper end;
arm G reaching over the parts B, B1 and being connected movably thereto by a
pin H and to the leg D by a pin L and slot K, so that by turning the lever G on
a forked

lowing statement:
This invention has for its object to produce bi-coloured, tri-coloured or multi-
coloured watered effects by superposing gauze or the like over a ground fabric
manufactured as hereafter described.
According to this invention, we weave a ground fabric from any suitable
material, having parallel lines of narrow stripes, preferably equidistant of black,
white or different colours (three or more in combination) on its surface, such
lines running crosswise, lengthwise, or in a combination of these directions.
The said surface may have any suitable design thereon, as well as the lines.
We fix over the said ground fabric, a gauze or the like made of wool or other
suitable material. We prefer that the mesh of the gauze shall be approximately
the same size as the distance between the similar. colour-lines on the ground
fabric or the repeat of such lines.
We may fix the gauze or the like to the ground fabric either by weaving the two
into one another at their selvages, or by sewing or gumming the edges together.
Or if desired the ground fabric and gauze may be rolled together and sold as
one piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that we
make no claim to (1) the combination with a foundation fabric printed with
parallel lines of a facing fabric of a gauzy formation; (2) the combination with
a foundation fabric printed with parallel lines and having a pattern woven or
printed thereon, of a facing fabric of a gauzy formation; but what we claim is:
1. Dress material manufactured as above described.
2. Superposing a gauze or the like upon a ground fabric such as that described
for the purpose set forth.

carried through the wall of the building into the open air, and are there pro-
vided with a suction ventilator 1. By this means a constant air draught is
effected so that there is always an air circulation through the shafts and the
bearings are kept cool, there is also a ventilation of the workroom.
junction of the different parts of which the shaft is composed, is made by means
of sleeves b provided on both ends with 2 or 4 slits as shown in Fig. 2. Upon
these sleeves b provided on their outside with screw threads, nuts c are screwed in
order to produce a pressure of the sleeves upon the shaft. The sleeves rings
are exchangeable and serve as journals, the nuts serve moreover
as collars
to prevent longitudinal movement of the shaft in the bearings. Besides these
advantages the shaft is of low weight.
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:
Improved hollow shafting serving to ventilate the workroom and to avoid the
heating of the bearings, the same being constructed of steel tubes a in com-
munication with an exterior ventilator the connecting sleeves b of which are
exchangeable.

Street, Northwich, in the County of Chester, Solicitor, and the said ROBERT HARRY
JACKSON, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A toy parachute which can be used like an ordinary shuttlecock and will go
up closed and come down open.
The ball or weight, corresponding to the car in an ordinary parachute, is attached
by means of a net (instead of cords or strings) with meshes too fine for the ball
to pass through, thereby avoiding the twisting and entanglement inseparable from
the use of cords or strings. A fine cord or thread is attached to the bottom of the
ball. The ball, being struck upwards, flies into the middle of the silk or other
textile material forming the body of the parachute, which folds round it, and the
whole flies upwards until it reaches the full length of the string which them checks
the upward movement of the ball. The parachute then opens and descends slowly
until again struck upwards. No ribs or other mechanism are necessarily required.

Improvement in Bunghole Fittings for Casks and Similar
*Receptacles.
I, WILHELM PELZER, Joiner, of 23, Oststrasse, Duisburg, in the German Empire,
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 provide a bunghole fitting, which allows
the tap to be screwed on easily, without previous removal of the bung.
In the accompanying drawings; -
Fig. 1 is a side view of a cask provided with my improved bunghole fitting;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the bung hole fitting on a larger scale; Fig. 3 is a section
of the same.
Into the cask is screwed a metallic sleeve or lining a which extends through the
wall of the cask, the outer half or portion of the lining being provided with an
internal screw-thread, into which fits the threaded part of the tap b, while the inner
half or portion has a cylindrical opening o adapted to receive a hung or wooden
plugs. The inner part is preferably narrower than the outer, so as to form between
the two a shoulder or abutment for the screw tap.
In tapping the cask the plugs is thrust out of the opening o into the interior of
the cask, either by screwing in the tap b, or by means of a separate tube e inserted
through the tap.
The lining a and the tap bare provided with any suitable packing, so as to prevent
leakage, in the well-known manner.
With the arrangement described and shown, the outlet tube c may extend almost
to the bottom of the cask, and the latter therefore may be emptied through the
tube almost to the last drop.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
declare that what
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
I claim is:
A bunghole fitting for casks and similar receptacles which consists of a metallic
sleeve or lining provided with an internal screw thread for the insertion of a screw
tap, and with an opening for the bung or plug, the whole being arranged and
adapted to operate substantially as described.

Improvements in the Construction of Wheels and Axles for Hand
Trucks.
I, JOHN ROBERT LOFTHOUSE, of 48, Hope Street, Leeds, in the County of York,
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 object of my invention is to construct simple and effective front and back
axles and wheels for hand trucks, to facilitate turning in a small space.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 shows end of truck with my improved wheel and axle applied.
Fig. 2 is an end view of axle and its bearing.
Fig. 3 shows a section of axle through the line A. B.
According to my invention C is part of the body of a truck, which is mounted
on an ordinary central axle with fixed side wheels, and I) is the front or back axle,
which is square with round ends E working in bearings F. G is a pulley or wheel
which is loose on the square axle 1) at the front and back of the truck, and which
slides on the said axle as the truck is turning in practically its own length, the
front and back axles revolving in their bearings. As the pulleys G at front and
back slide towards opposite sides of the truck as it turns, the stability of the truck
is retained. The truck is preferably so arranged that either end may go in front,
the sliding wheels can therefore be kept towards the centres of the axles, as the
truck may be turned to either side to obtain a given direction of motion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
Constructing the axles for the front and back wheels of hand trucks, square at 1),
with round ends E working in bearings F, their pulleys or wheels G being loose
upon the said square axles or shafts so as to slide thereon, for facilitating the
turning or revolving of the said trucks as before described.

Improvements in Suspended Electroliers.
I, JOSEPH GRACE SMITH CUNNINGTON, of 93, St. Martin's Lane, in the County of
London, Electrical 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 :-
My invention has for its object to provide a suspended electrolier having more than
one lamp in which the lamps can be lowered and raised individually as required with-
out the use of the heavy counterweights which are necessary where the electrolier is
raised and lowered as a whole.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing illustrates in side elevation an arrange.
ment according to my invention. The framework, or electrolier proper, a is
suspended from the ceiling, or other place, and is a fixture, or is incapable of being
raised and lowered. The lamps bare each carried by the conducting cord c attached at
one end to one of the lamps and each running over a pulley a² at the outer ends of the
projecting arms of the electrolier and over a pulley a³ each pulley a³ being fixed at the
top of the electrolier. Each cord is then looped and in the loop of each cord is received
the pulley of a weight d, a separate weight and pulley being used for each lamp.
Each conductor of the conducting cords is connected at its upper end with the electric
supply conductors which enter the electrolier from above. a6 are ornamental parts to
conceal the pulleys a².
Figure 2 shews a modification wherein the conducting and suspending cords are
each caused to take a direction parallel with the depending rod and arms of the
electrolier by being passed under an additional pulley at which may be on the central
boss a³ of the electrolier as shewn. The other parts correspond with those shewn in
Figure 1 and are marked with the same letters of reference.
The electroliers can be constructed as described to carry two or more lamps.
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 an electrolier, a suspended framework, or electrolier proper, incapable of being
moved up, or down, in combination with pulleys over which each conducting and lamp
suspending cord passes and a weight to counterbalance each lamp separately
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.
