page_text: I CHARLES TOOPE of 1 Ben Jonson Road, Stepney, 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:
The object of my Invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and highly
efficient and economical gas or oil burning water heater for warming hot houses
and other places.
The Invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the heating
chamber and flues whereby the heat of the flame is utilized to the utmost possible
extent as hereafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings forming
part of this Specification wherein Figure 1 is a vertical section and Figure 2 a
horizontal section of the stove.
a is the outer casing and b c horizontal partitions therein, d is the lamp chamber
and e the water space. The partition 6 has a central aperture from which a flue
pipe or chimney grises centrally within a dome h rising from the partition c into
the water space e. The heat and gaseous products of combustion ascending through
said flue g are caused to strike against the crown of the dome and impart the
greatest heat to the water at the upper part of the water space at the place where
the heat is most required after which the products descend through the annular
space between the flue and dome. From the chamber f between the partions b
and c return flues i lead up through the annular part of the water space e
comprised between the walls of the dome and the outer casing and connect at the
upper part of the stove with a common outlet and chimney k at the back. Within
the chamber & may be placed an oil lamp or preferably an atmospheric or other gas
burner of any suitable kind. This chamber is provided with a door / for giving
access to the interior and the smoke chamber f has a sliding door mat which any
deposit of soot may be cleaned out from the chamber for the flues. The water
space e is in free communication with flow and return water circulating pipes n, p,
which respectively connect with the said chamber at the upper and lower parts
thereof and are carried in the ordinary way around the hot house or other place to
be heated.

page_text: 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-
The herein described water heater provided with internal heating dome and
return flues arranged substantially as specified and illustrated in the drawings.

page_text: I HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake, & Co, Patent Agents,
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 fuel for foot warming, and other purposes where a
slow steady heat is required, or for disinfecting purposes.
According to the said invention I take three parts or more of ground charcoal
and add thereto one part of finely cut or ground charred cork mixing them
thoroughly together. This compound is to be burned in a stove which has its
draught inlet about on a level with the top of the fuel pot, inasmuch as this fuel
burns from the top down. Such a stove is described in the specification filed with
my application for Letters Patent bearing the same date as the present application
and numbered 5022.
Where a disinfectant is required I thoroughly incorporate with cork and charcoal
more or less chloride of lime, generally one hundredth part.
By the use of cork the composition burns so slowly that there are no injurious
results from carbonic gas. The advantage of this fuel is that it can be used in
living compartments for feet warming, or for disinfecting, or in railway carriages
for warming purposes, and in any place where a slow moderate heat is required.
The fuel can be lighted by means of alcohol poured thereon or by means of wood
or other suitable material. This fuel I have thoroughly tested and it is found to
serve a purpose which no other fuel will serve.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to
me by my foreign Correspondent I declare that what I claim is
Fuel composed of charred cork and charcoal (with or without chloride of lime)
the same being ground or pulverized and combined in substantially the proportions
given, as, and for the purpose, hereinbefore set forth.

I, WILLIAM RUSSELL, of 43 Trinity Square, Southwark, in the county of Surrey,
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 an appliance or device applicable for erasing pencil and ink
marks, sharpening pencils and for other purposes.
My improved appliance or device consists of what is usually known as a paper
cleaner made of a piece of india rubber let into or attached to a holder consisting of
a piece of wood or other suitable material combined with one or more steel blades
let into the aforesaid holder and made to open or close with a spring or clasp or
otherwise so as to be suitable for ink erasing or for sharpening pencils or for other
purposes and with or without a tube blade lot into the said holder and made suitable
for receiving thin shavings from and pointing pencils and other articles.
The improved device is represented in the accompanying drawing, figure 1
illustrating an elevation and figure 2 a plan of the same provided with a single knife
blade shewn in its closed position and with a tubular pencil pointer. Figure 3 is a
similar view to figure 1 but shewing the knife blade in its open position. Similar
letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
a, is the holder of wood or other suitable material and b, is the piece of india rubber
which is let into or attached to the same so as to form what is commonly known as a
paper cleaner; in one edge of the holder a, I form a groove c, and in this groove
I place the knife blade d, moving on a joint pin e, so that it can be made to lie within
the groove c, when not required for use as shewn in figure 1 or be opened out as
shewn in figure 3 when required to be made use of for erasing ink, for sharpening a
pencil or for other purposes. If required the knife blade d, can be provided with the
usual spring, or instead of working on a joint pin it can be arranged so as to be
projected from the holder by being slid along a groove therein; or it can be
permanently fixed to the holder in the position shewn in figure 3 of the drawing.
f, is a tubular pencil pointer which I sometimes place in a hole made through the
holder a, for the purpose of pointing pencils and other articles, the use of which pencil
pointer will be well understood without description. It will be obvious however that
my improved device can if required be made without this pencil pointer.
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 manufacture and use of the appliance or device herein before described
consisting of the combination with a
paper cleaner" of a knife blade and with or
without a tubular pencil pointer substantially as herein before described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.

HENRY OUGH 16 Austins Friars, London, E.C. Architect & Civil 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 chief object of my invention is to provide a cheap form of grate, the parts 5
thereof shall be easily removeable without resetting and to provide for the perfect
combustion of the fuel. For this purpose I provide a groved piece of iron at each
end of the bars A these groved Irons are hung on pins or bolts built into the jambs of

page_text: I MURRAY HINCKLEY SPEAR of 30 Upper Park Street in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
These books are especially suitable to hold the bill forms carbon transfer
paper &c. used by the shopmen in drapers and other establishments. The bill
forms are usually secured in the cover or book by means of a piece of elastic which
besides becoming permanently stretched is always unsatisfactory. In this improved
book the papers are held by means of a spring clip and pockets or the like are
provided and are a great convenience.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a plan of the book or cover open the bill forms being removed.
Figure 2 is an end view with the bill forms in place.
"
"
"
This "book" is really a cover into which the bill forms or " leaves are
inserted or removed as required. The two backs A are stiff and the joint B is soft
to allow of the "book" being closed. C is a tuck or pocket to contain the checks
and for general convenience and D are two tucks under which the ends of a form
such as E and printed according to the requirements of the business, can be inserted
so as to retain it for entering particulars of the checks upon.
F represents one form of the spring clip the shape and construction of which can
be varied according to the shape and construction of the "book" to which its ends
are secured at G and H.
The clip F as shown is made of a piece of wire bent to suit the size and shape
of the book a turn being made at F1 to give increased spring to the clip; these
turns F' also help to keep the bill forms from end wise movement along the clip.
The leaves or bill forms I are placed under the clip as shown in Figure 2 and are
pressed against the back as will be readily understood. The piece of bent wire is
probably the simplest and cheapest form of clip but I do not bind myself to make
it of wire. More than one turn F' may of course be made at each end if desired
or the turns may be dispensed with altogether though they are generally
advantageous.
Though I have used the term "bill forms" as forming the "leaves" it is
manifest that other "forms" may be used in these books; said leaves form no part
of this invention,

and mounted on a pedestal or stand D. The discs are lined with broad rings of
felt called cleaning-buffers E E which do not cover the central portion of the discs.
Running from the pedestal, to which it is attached, outside the disc which is
nearest to the handle of the machine, is a piece of metal, F, about the height of,
and nearly parallel to the horizontal axis of the discs. This piece of metal is bent
at right angles just beyond the periphery of the discs, and is intended as a guide
for inserting the knife blade between the discs.
On the under side of the bent part of this guide, and in a line with the plane of
contact of the buffers, we make a notch slot or groove (preferably of a V shape
inverted) thus A-G. To the bent part of the guide, at this point, we firmly
attach a plate of steel or other metal, H, which passes between the cleaning buffers
sufficiently in wards towards the spindle to project beyond the buffers into that
central space not covered by the buffers. This plate is so constructed that it is
about the thickness of the blade of a knife where it passes between the buffers, and
outside them, and also in the central part not covered by them, it is thick enough
to permit of a notch slot or groove, G³, being made on its under-side to correspond
with the notch slot or groove, G³ in the before mentioned guide F, and such notches
of corresponding size are accordingly made at each end thereof. The outer notch
of the thin plate fits in a line with the notch in the guide so as to form a continuous
part of it. In fixing the thin plate care is taken that the notches shall guide the
knife-blade when inserted back upwards between the cleaning buffers, below and
clear of the spindle, thereby securing the double object, when, in revolving, the
friction of the cleaning buffers is against the edge of the knife blade, of keeping
the knife-blade in position, and of relieving the knife-handle of strain upon it,

page_text: 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 what
we claim is :—
The employment of the notch in the said guide and of the notched plate and the
attachment thereof to the said machine in the manner and for the purpose as
herein substantially described.

page_text: I, WILHELM SCHMIDT of Brunswick in the Empire of Germany, 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 use of injector-apparatus for the regeneration of steam or for leading it back
into the boiler has not hitherto been possible in the case of condensing engines, as
with a perfect condensation of steam there is of course no possibility of conducting
back the steam.
Nevertheless the method of conducting back or regenerating the exhaust steam
by injector apparatus, is also applicable to condensing engines, if used with that
modification, that the only partly utilized steain is regenerated, that is to say, that
with Compound engines or engines with two cylinders a portion of the steam
partly utilized in the small cylinder, is sucked off by injector apparatus before its
utilization in the large cylinder, therefore from the receiver, and that as usually
the large cylinder is worked by a part of the receiver steam, while another part of
the receiver-steam is compressed by injector-apparatus until it reaches the pressure,
which is to be employed in the small cylinder.
As illustrated by Fig. I of the accompanying drawing, a part of the steam
therefore describes a complete cycle being caused by the injector apparatus to
flow from the receiver C again into the steam reservoir R for the small cylinder, in
which it is to be used.
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:
In Compound engines: the process of partly conducting the steam utilized in the
small cylinder and accumulated in the receiver, back to the small cylinder, by
means of an injector apparatus.

I THOMAS CHRISTY Malvern House Sydenham Surrey Merchant do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Improvements in regulating the heat of hot air chambers by means of a Thermo-
static band or bands acting on lever or levers that regulate the flame or supply of heat
5 from lamps gas or heating apparatus.

page_text: I THOMAS CHRISTY, Malvern House Sydenham, 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 invention consists in applying a Thermostatic band or bands composed of
metals with an unequal expansion well known for moving a plain slide or a slide fitted
with a flap for increasing or decreasing the flame of a lamp or gas jet well known, thus
regulating the heat in a hot air chamber.
I show two drawings of how the Thermostatic band A may be connected with a
lever B acting on another lever C which when adjusted causes the slide 1) to move up
or down as shewn in Plates Nos. 1 & 2. I find it convenient to uso at times a
counterbalance E as shewn in Plate No. 2. It can also be fitted to an ordinary gas
burner or to a bunsen burner. In Fig. 2 Plate 2 I shave shewn in what manner it is
connected with an ordinary gas burner. As the Thermostatic band A expands it acts
upon the lever B, causing it to drop & this pulls down C which being in close
connection with the gas tap D turns the slide or tap so reducing the gas flame, thus
keeping the chamber at a uniform temperature, the Thermostatic band falling and
rising as the heat diminishes or increases acting upon the oil lamp or Gas burner by
means of the levers described.
Thermostatic bands I have used in conjunction with the electric current from an
ordinary two or three cell battery. As the heat rises in the chamber above say
104° Fah. to say 106° the Thermostatic band moves and at the point desired forms
contact and as in the ordinary electric bell the current from the coils pull down tho
lever, the heat is reduced, the band returns to its proper position, & contact is broken
& the heat is thus regulated.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declaro that what
I claim is:
The employment of a Thermostatic band or bands acting on a lever or levers for
regulating the heat supply to hot air chambers.

I, JAMES PASCALL, of 100 Blackfriars Road, in the County of Surrey, Con-
fectioner, 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 to provide a device which shall serve a two-fold
purpose viz as a box or receptacle for various substances or articles as for example
confectionery, and as a toy. It is made externally in the form of a spinning top
with an interior cavity or recess closed by a cap or cover capable of being opened
and closed.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings Fig. 1 is a vertical section of
one form of combined box or receptacle and spinning top. Fig. 2 is a plan of the
same with the cap or cover removed. Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views to Figs. 1
and 2 illustrating a modification.
In each example shown A is a body made in the form of a top of any suitable
material such for example as wood. It is provided with an interior cavity or
recess B closed by a removable cap or cover C or it may be by a hinged cover
capable of being opened and closed as required. The box or receptacle serves to
hold an article or articles intended for sale within it and also for use as a spinning
top. The cap or cover C may be securely held to the body A in any suitable
manner. A convenient method of securing the cap or cover in place is by using
an advertisement label that extends across it and is secured to adjacent parts
of the body of the box or receptacle by adhesive substance. The combined box or
receptacle and top shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is in the form of a whip top, whilst that
shown in figs. 3 and 4 is in the form of a peg top.
Having now described the nature of the said invention and in what manner it is
to be carried into practical effect, it is to be noted that I am aware that humming
tops have been made hollow with openings into their interiors and therefore no
broad general claim is made in respect of a hollow top but I hereby declare that
what I claim is :-
A combined spinning top and box or receptacle with moveable cover substantially
as hereinabove described with reference to the drawings annexed.

page_text: I, ARTUR KRUPP of Berndorf Lower Austria, Metalware 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 the manufacture of spoons, forks and such like articles in
such a manner as to give them great strength, and an external appearance of silvery
character.
For this purpose, I first prepare a core stamped from sheet steel or, in some cases
made of steel wire, this core having the shape of the article to be made, but being in
all its parts a little less in width and thickness than the finished article, and I cover this
core, as I will presently describe, with tin alloy which forms an external coating of
th to th of an inch in thickness. Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings represents
a longitudinal section and a front view of a spoon. Fig. 2 shows similar views of a fork
and Fig. 3 shews similar views of a ladle, parts of the external coating being supposed
to be removed to show the cores within. In all these figures a represents the coating
of tin alloy, and the internal stoel core. I apply the coating to the core in the
following manner. Having formed the core by stamping or otherwise, I cleanse and
pickle it and tin it, so as to give a surface to which the alloy, which consists principally
of tin, will firmly adhere. The alloy being kept in a melted condition, the mould
which, as usual, is made in two parts, is immersed in the hot alloy and kept there
for some time to be heated. The tinned core is then plunged in the melted
alloy and placed in the concave half of the mould which is just withdrawn from
the bath. The two halves of the mould containing the core are then clamped together;
and the mould is filled up with the molten alloy, in which the core, which is of nearly the
same specific gravity, can play freely. The mould is then rapidly cooled by wet cloths,
and when the inetal has set, its halves are taken apart and the article, consisting of the

page_text: steel core with a. uniform or nearly uniform coating of alloy, is removed from it. I
am aware that in some cases wire cores have been introduced in handles of forks and
other articles, and that spoons have been made with leaves of sheet steel introduced as
cores in. the central parts of their bowls. I make no claim to the manufacture of such
articles which are only locally strengthened, but,
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 :-
1. The herein described method of manufacturing a spoon, fork or such like article
by first preparing a steel core of the same shape as the finished article but somewhat
smaller, tinning the core, placing it in a heated mould, filling the mould with the alloy,
and rapidly cooling.
2. The manufacture and use of spoons, forks and such like articles each consisting of
a steel core coated with a nearly uniform thickness of tin alloy.
