A New Process for Discolouring Tannic Acid Solutions.
I HERBERT JOHN HADDAN of the firm of Herbert & Co. Patent Agents of
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C. in the County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention a communication to me from
abroad by Jules Landini of Grimm No. 6, Hamburg in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to discolour solutions, derived from wood, plants
and leaves used in tanneries in order to be able to obtain transparent and clear
liquids. The principal part of the invention consists in treating such solutions with
nitrate of lead and subsequently with the addition of alum and borax. The solutions
according to their respective strength are mixed with suitable quantities of nitrate of
lead then heated or boiled until a complete discolouring has taken place. During
this process samples are withdrawn from time to time and the addition of nitrate of
lead is increased until the discolouring is completed.
As an example of the practice of this process may be mentioned that new
decoctions of tannic acids are treated with about 2 kilogrammes of nitrate of lead for
each thousand litres of liquid.
It is convenient to use a diffusion battery during treatment of the tannic acids
into which the solution is introduced, then make the above named addition of nitrate
of lead and boil the mixture for some 25 minutes, then decant the solution into a
vessel or drum provided with some stirring device into which steam is admitted of
about atmospheric pressure. After stirring for about 20 minutes a sample is
withdrawn and a further supply of nitrate of lead is added should this be found
necessary and the stirring continued until the desired degree is attained. The
solution is now withdrawn, cooled down, neutralized and filtered.
Having 1 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
The process for discolouring vegetable solutions containing tannic acid for tannery
purposes by boiling with nitrate of lead substantially as described and for the purposes
set forth.

An Improved Method of Plastering Walls and Ceilings.
I, GIOVANNI BASTUCCHI of 243, Friedrich Strasse, Berlin S.W. 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 :-
My invention consists of a new and useful method of plastering walls and cielings
of which the following is an exact description.
known manner.
In my process I take the pasty mass consisting of cement and magnesite or
magnesite-compositions with which the desired colouring has been previously mixed,
and plaster it on to the walls or ceiling in the required thickness with an ordinary
plastering trowel; it is then faced up smooth and marbled or decorated in the well
It is then smoothed and glazed or polished with a rod hot iron,
Where a marbled appearance is desired, the colouring is unevenly mixed with the
mass of cement and magnesite so that a clouded colouring is effected when the veins
may be afterwards painted.
(flat iron).
The use of the hot flat iron for finishing the plastering of walls is very convenient
as it allows of any repairs being done on the spot and walls or ceiling finished -
that is to say polished-in this manner receive a perfectly smooth surface and
are quite free from cracks. Perhaps the greatest advantage of such plastering-
for use in schools and hospitals-is the fact, that it is not able to be infected by
disease and may be cleaned by being washed over with water whereby it does not
loose its original glaze.
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 1
claim is:
1.) In plastering walls and cielings, the process of first placing the plaster
previously mixed with the desired colour on the walls or ceiling and then smoothing
and glazing or polishing its surface by means of a red-hot flat iron, in the manner
and for the purpose, substantially as described.
2.) In the process above described and claimed, the mixing of the colouring
matter unevenly in the mass of cement and magnesite for obtaining a marbled effect,
in the manner as described.

Improvements in Pulleys or Drums.
I, RICHARD RUSSELL GUBBINS, of 17 Park Road, New Cross, in the County of
Kent, "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 so to make pulleys or drums, that whilst labour is
saved and expedition in manufacture is obtained, I secure a better grip for the belts
or bands used with such pulleys or drums, and prevent the formation or imprisonment
of a film of air between the belt or band and the surface of the pulley or drum.
According to my Invention 1 form on the periphery of the pulley or drum
recesses and projections arranged either in the direction of the circumference, or
transversely or in the direction at right angles to the circumference, or at any suit-
able angle, or in curved or serpentine lines, or in any combination thereof, so as to
form any desired shapes of projections and recesses.
When the pulley or drum is made in cast metal I may form the necessary recesses
in the mould and then in grinding the casting to a true surface, much time and
labour will be saved owing to the tops of the projections only requiring to be operated
upon.
In making wrought metal pulleys or drums, I may employ what is known as
"checker plate" for the peripheries, but I do not limit myself to any precise way
of forming the periphery with recesses and projections according to my Invention.
And in order that my Invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Figure 1, represents the front view of a pulley made with a checker plate rim or
surface A.
Figure 2 is a side view of figure 1 The periphery of the pulley A, and the hub C,
with the spokes marked B.
Figure 3 denotes a vertical section of a portion of 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 :-
First: A pulley or drum, with a checker plate rim or periphery in order to secure
a better grip for the belts or bands used with such pulley or drum, and to prevent
the formation or imprisonment of a film of air between the belt or band and the
surface of the pulley or drum, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
Secondly: To form the periphery of the pulley or drum, with recesses and projec-
tions, arranged either in the direction of the circumference, or transversely, or in
the direction at right angles to the circumference or at any other suitable angle, or
in curved or serpentine lines, or in any combination thereof so as to form any desired
shapes of projections and recesses, substantially as described.

I, ALBERT WILLIAM SPENCER of 124, Boyson Road Walworth London, Gentleman,
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 consists of forming an ordinary shaped Glove with a pocket or
continuous loop across that portion fitting near the top of palm of the hand.
This pocket or continuous loop is so formed as to just comfortably receive the ends
of a handle of any cycling machine and so the rider of a cycle need not be always
gripping the handle of his machine as he will have a limited control over the handles
by means of my Improved gloves.
This pocket or loop may form part of the manufacture of the Glove or sewn thereon
and may be in any convenient situation upon the palm of the glove.
For cycling purposes I prefer to make the pocket closed at that end opposite to the
thumb.
When I form my Improved glove for the use of drivers of horses I intend the
pocket or loop to be utilized for receiving the butt end of the whip.
In this case the pocket or loop will be much narrower, and for preference 1 shall
leave open the end opposite to the thumb.
In order that the nature of my said invention may be the more fully understood
I will now proceed to describe the drawing hereto annexed which is marked with
the like letters of reference.
The letters A, A, indicate the ordinary glove and B is the pocket or continuous
loop across the top part of the palm of the glove. C, is the open end of the pocket B
to receive the handle of the cycles.
I do not limit myself to any particular way in which I shall form the loop or
pocket in the glove to the materials of which the said loop or pocket may be
made.
Having now fully 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 :-
An Improved Glove for the use of Cyclists and drivers of Horses formed substan-
tially as hereinbefore described in this Specification and illustrated by the accompanying.

in a compressed state.
To accomplish this I take crystallized sulphite of sodium, or similar alkaline
sulphite, but I prefer to use the ordinary sulphite, & I heat this until it fuses, and
until all water of crystallization has been driven off. The dry mass is then ground
with an equal weight of hydrokinone, or other similar proportion, but I prefer an
equal weight, & one tenth part of the whole of bromide of sodium added. The
mixture after being thus made is wetted with aqueous sulphurous acid, & then
partially dried; and whilst still damp forced through a sieve of 40 meshes to the
inch, & dried at a gentle heat, by which means the compound is obtained in
small dry granules. The compound thus formed is made into tablets, or circular
dises, or pellets, by a powerful press.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what ]
claim is :
(1) The production of a compound, formed from alkaline sulphite, as sodium
sulphite which employ, hydrokinone & alkaline bromide, as sodium bromide
which I use the saine compound being produced in the dry granular form, as
& after the manner described.
(2) The formation of the compound hydrokinone produced after the manner
described, into pellets, or tablets, or discs by pressure, exerted by a steam or other
form of press.

Improvements in the Treatment of Tin Refuse or Slag.
1, TOM TEAGUE Pinewood Devoran Cornwall do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:
:―
By my invention the natural alloys of tin and other metals resulting from the
refining of smelted tin in the ordinary manufacturing process technically known as
hard head, are melted with copper or any alloy containing copper in any proportion
required by which an exceedingly hard bronze is formed which is very suitable for
machine bearings wire and all the purposes to which bronze is at present applied.
Certain tin refuses from the smelting furnaces known as
"
scum are found to
contain notable proportions of silver and other valuable metals. These may be
separated by boiling the alloy in concentrated sulphuric acid which dissolves the tin
silver and other metals (except gold) should that metal be present. The sulphuric
solution is then treated with hydrochloric acid or common salt which throws down
the silver present as insoluble chloride which separate. The tin in the solution can
be either deposited by means of electricity or mixed with lime and soda and smelted
in the usual way.
Nickel cobalt and other metals present will be in the sulphuric.
solution and can be separated in the usual way.
Dated this Seventh day of December 1889.

page_text: I, JUSTUS ALBERT TRAUT of the city of New Britain in the County of Hartford,
and State of Connecticut, United States of America, manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
g statement
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
==
My invention relates to improvements in handles for attachment to paper boxes or
boxes of thin material, and the object of my improvement is to produce a handle
which is neat in appearance and compact in form so that it will not project to any
great extent from the box to which it is applied.
In the accompanying drawings ;-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one end of a box with my handle applied
thereto.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of my handle, and
Figure 3 is a side elevation thereof, together with a section of the end of a box to
which the handle is applied.
I have previously made a similar box handle in which the same clasping arms
were employed in connection with a rigid handle which always projected at about
right angles to the end of the box. Instead however of a rigid handle I provide the
article with a drop handle 4, the same being preferably in nearly the form of a ring
with the ends of the metal forming said handle having an eye therein for hinging
the handle to the handle bar 5. As in the aforesaid box-handle I employ the
diverging arms 66 extending outwardly and upwardly from the handle to extend to
and over the edge of a box and the return arms 77 which extend down on the interior
of the box. A slight bend is made just above the handle bar to throw said bar and

page_text: handle outwardly as shown most clearly in fig. 3, so that the handle will not bind
against the box, and therefore it will be free to drop into a vertical position as shown
where it is out of the way and less liable to be hit by those who are passing; making
the handle specially adapted for use in cramped places, or on boxes that are
transported with the handles attached. When it is desired to pull a box from its
place, the handle 4 may be elevated into a horizontal position as shown in figs. 1
and 3 by the broken lines therein, so as to furnish a good hold upon the handle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim and desire to secure by Patent, is
1
1. The herein described box handle consisting of the handle bar, the diverging
and return arms adapted to clasp the box, and the handle 4 hinged to said handle bar,
substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
2. The herein described box handle consisting of the handle bar 5, diverging and
return arms 6 and 7 for clasping the box, and the handle, the diverging arms 66
being bent outwardly just above the handle bar, substantially as described and for the
purpose specified.
In witness whereof, I the said. Justus Albert Traut have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Twenty-first day of February, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty nine.

Improvements in the Construction of Packings for Hydraulic and
other Machinery.
I, DAVID WALTON of 1 Argyle Street Burmantofts, 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:-
My invention has reference to leather and other packing for hydraulic and other
machinery, and has for its object the strengthening of such packing at its bends or
angles, causing it to last much longer than those of ordinary construction.
In the accompanying drawings Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are transverse sections of various
forms of packing. Fig. 1 being what is known as the "ram or cup" pattern.
Fig. 2 the "hat or pump" pattern and Fig. 3 the "bucket or plunger" pattern.
These packings frequently give way by buckling at their bends or angles, and
in order to strengthen such bends or angles I rivet or otherwise fasten therein
metallic pieces such as are shewn at A, B and C, these vary in width, thickness
and number in accordance with the size of the packing and the additional strength
required in such packing.
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 arrangement, construction and application of metallic pieces at the angles
or bends of packing for the purpose of strengthening the same substantially
as and for purposes herein set forth.

Improvements in Water Gauging Fittings on Steam Boilers.
I, GUSTAV Mock, of Altenburg, in the duchy of Sachsen-Altenburg, German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in water gauging fittings on steam boilers
and the manner in which I prefer to carry my invention into effect is shown in the
accompanying drawings.
The heads a, of water gauge glasses are bored through lengthways, the channel c
being closed at the end with a screw s. Such screw cannot however be removed
without danger unless there is an extra means behind the screw of closing the
channel.
This purpose I attain by means of a three-way cock d and which is shewn in the
drawings in the following various positions.
Fig. 1 shews the three-way cock in the act of being used as a test cock in which
case the outlet f is free.
Fig. 2 shews the three-way cock in such a position that the channel c is closed,
so that the screws may be removed without any inconvenience or danger from the
steam pressure.
Fig. 3 shews the three-way cock in such a position that a utensil may be pushed
into the channel c for the purpose of cleaning it out or the like.
The advantage of the arrangement with the three-way cock d consists in the
simple and safe manner whereby it is possible to remove at any time with safety the
screw-plug s, and afterwards slowly and gradually open the channel c.
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 employing a three-way-cock d, in order to be able without danger
to unscrew and again fasten the screw s, for the purpose of cleaning out the channel c,
substantially as shewn in the drawings.

Improvements in Roofing Tiles, and in the Formation of Iron and
other Sheets or Plates for Roofing and other Purposes.
I MOSES JAMES ADAMS Sanitary Engineer of Monkbridge York 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 object is to so couple slabs sheets tiles and other roofing and fencing material
together that the two sheets may so far as possible become part and parcel of each
other for this purpose I turn the edges of the tile or plate as shewn on accompanying
drawings the roll of sheet A receiving within it the roll of sheet B these rolls are
so formed that neither a vertical lift nor a horizontal puil can part the two sheets
wind and rain being thus excluded. This formation of tile or plate is applicable to
sheets roofing tiles galvanized and other roofing fencing and similar purposes.
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
1st. The formation of an edge on tile, slab sheet or plate which shall envelope or
partially envelope within itself a suitably formed edge on another tile slab sheet or
plate such envelopement being sufficient to prevent the vertical lift of either
or horizontal pull separating the two tiles slabs sheets or plates.
2nd. The application of such an edge on tile slab sheet or plate, for roofing, division
fencing building and other purposes.
3rd. The arrangement of edge as described and illustrated or any equivalent form
of tile slab sheet or plate though differing in conformity.
