page_text: I, THEODOR KAUFFMANN of Cologne in the Empire of Germany Inventor do
bereby 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 present unsatisfactory wrappers used for forwarding circulars and the like
through the post have often caused the loss of the contents, and are also liable to
allow letters and cards to get wedged between the folds of the circular.
Now this invention is designed to obviate the above drawbacks and is
illustrated by the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 6. The arrangement
comprises a strip a on the front of the envelope b (Figure 1) the flap c always
attached to envelopes serving to close the same, and is inserted between the
envelope b and the strip a.
Figure 1 shows an envelope with strip a in front view.
Figure 2 an envelope provided with the said band a when closed, and
Figure 3 the same when open.
Another modification is shown at
Figure 4 in front view.
Figure 5 in profile when closed.
Figure 6 in profile when open.
The second improvement consists in the application of a pocket d between the
front and the hind pieces b and e (Figures 5 and 6) of the envelope and in this
pocket the flap c is inserted.
Another modification is illustrated in front view by Figure 7, in side aspect
when closed, by Figure 8 and in side aspect when open by Figure 9.
This modification differs from the preceding in having the pocket, instead of
inside the pieces b and e outside the same, for instance, as shown in Figure 9.
The closing of the envelope is effected in this case also by inserting c in d.
The advantages of this invention, which prevents the soiling of papers sent
enclosed in wrappers and as has already been said, prevents the loss of small letters
or cards over the hitherto usual system of wrappers or envelopes will at once
be seen.

page_text: 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
1st. The combination of parts forming the new or improved wrapper or
envelope, having a wrapper enclosing the outside of the envelope, substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 3.
2nd. In safety wrappers or envelopes, the combination of parts consisting of
pocket d either inserted between the pieces b and e or outside the piece b of the
envelope so that the aforesaid cap c of the latter on its being closed is inserted
either between a and b or in the pocket d, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 or Figure 9
substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Process for Preserving Crude Animal Fats.
Year: 1885

page_text: An Improved Process for Preserving Crude Animal Fats.
I, PHILIP ARTHUR NEWTON of the Office for Patents 6 Bream's Buildings,
Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex Patent Agent do hereby declare the
nature of the invention for AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PRESERVING CRUDE ANIMAL
FATS 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 improved process for preserving crude animal fats.
To this end a saturated solution of salicylic acid or equivalent antiseptic, which
has no influence on the flavour, odour or colour of the crude fat or fat which has
been melted down is prepared by dissolving the antiseptic by preference in distilled
water. The solution is then brought to a temperature of about 35° C, (at which
temperature the crude fat does not melt). Into this liquid the crude fat is then
introduced and is allowed to remain therein say from one to two days, more or less,
so that the fat may be thoroughly permeated by the preserving liquid.
•
The above mentioned temperature is sufficient for destroying to a great extent
the albuminous bodies contained in the fat.
The fat on being removed from the liquid is casked, care being taken that no air
is included between the several layers of the fat. In order to prevent this, a certain
quantity of the preserving liquid is introduced into the cask between the several
layers of fat. When the cask is nearly filled up the cover is applied and secured
in place, the cask is then completely filled by inserting additional preserving
liquid through a small opening in the cover of the cask which opening is then to
be sealed.
Before using the fat the salicylic acid is washed off with water.
In lieu of water any other liquid having no influence on the flavour. odour and

page_text: 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
The process for preserving crude animal fats as above described and consisting in
treating the fat, with a solution of salicylic acid at a temperature at which the
albuminous bodies are destroyed without the fat being melted and the packing of
the same in hermetically closed casks.

IMPROVE- MENTS IN STOPPERS FOR BOTTLES CONTAINING AËRATED LIQUIDS
Year: 1885

page_text: I WILLIAM GEORGE WALKER, for and on behalf of the Firm of E. Breffit and
Company, Limited, of Castleford, in the County of York, Glass Bottle and Case
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN STOPPERS FOR BOTTLES CONTAINING AËRATED LIQUIDS 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 stoppers made of glass, either in the form of solid or
hollow balls or spheres.
Hollow glass balls have been tried in several ways, with internal stoppered
bottles, but from the fact of its being difficult to make hollow glass balls spherical,
and solid balls without the sharp ridge at the junction of the two halves of the
mould, serious objection is made to their general adoption, and I therefore provide
solid and hollow glass balls which are subjected to a process of grinding over the
whole surface. This grinding not only does away with the general objection to the
use of solid and hollow glass balls, but also assists in reducing the percentage of
breakage incurred by using existing balls, which "star" and break the bottles,
whilst it is found that ground glass balls do not "star" and break the bottles as
readily as the ordinary unground solid and hollow balls.
When necessary to provide a good seating for my Improved balls I use tools
described in the Specification of Letters Patent granted to Edgar Breffit and John
Edwards, bearing date the 8th day of December 1877, No 4660, by which I form
an internal flat ledge at the bottom of the bottle mouth in accordance with the
general construction of internal stoppered bottles, (See Figure 7 of the accompanying
Drawings).
And in order that my Invention may be more fully understood, I hereto annex a
sheet of drawings illustrative thereof.
Figure 1 represents a bottle stoppered internally by means of a glass ball or bulb,
and Figure 2 is a sectional view of the bottle neck shewing the ground glass
globe a in its India-rubber seat b, such being its position when the bottle is filled.
Figure 3 shews section of a "screw-mouth" bottle neck, described in Letters
Patent previously granted to John Edwards dated the 13th day of December, 1873,
No 4114, the glass ball and rubber-ring being again indicated by the letters a
and b.

page_text: Figure 4 shews section of a hollow glass globe, and Figure 5 represents a solid
ball, the whole of the exterior surfaces of both these stoppers being ground as
previously described.
Figure 6 is a plan view of the India-rubber ring b and Figure 7 shews
modifications of form of bottle neck made by tools hereinbefore referred to.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it
understood that what I claim, is
The use of solid and hollow glass balls in connection with internal stoppered
aërated water bottles, such balls having been subjected to a grinding process, as
herein fully described.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BRUSSELS, WILTON OR OTHER CARPETS, RUGS AND OTHER FABRICS, WHICH ARE OR MAY BE WOVEN IN THE JACQUARD LOOм

WHICH
are от may DO
I, GEORGE WEIGHT OLDLAND of Green Street Kidderminster in the County of
Worcester Carpet Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BRUSSELS, WILTON OR OTHER
CARPETS, RUGS AND OTHER FABRICS, WHICH ARE OR MAY BE WOVEN IN THE
JACQUARD LOOм and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
"
This Invention refers to the manufacture of such of the above named fabrics as
require a "planted frame to be used in their production and has for its object the
saving of labour and material by avoiding the necessity of changing the position of
the bobbins in the "planted frame" each time that it is required to change the
design to be manufactured.
This I effect by adopting a special and new mode of designing the patterns which
is so to arrange the position of the figures of the various patterns that a number of
patterns may be applicable to one arrangement of colours of the worsted or other
fabric in the "planted frame" and to facilitate this I arrange the position of the
various colours of worsted or other material in the "planted frame so that one
arrangement will be applicable to a series of apparently totally different designs
instead of having to change the arrangement in the "planted frame" for each
design as hitherto has been done.
Thus instead of having a separate "plant" for each design I make one "plant"
answer for the working out of a series of varying designs by arranging the designs
or "figures" of a number of the patterns strictly in accordance with the arrange-
ment of colours in the "plant " Thus I make a combination of colours in the
"plant" and cach colour in such proportion as shall be capable without change in
the "plant" of producing the greatest variety of designs in each of which though
differently distributed the same colours shall appear.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is
The improved mode of arranging the designs for the patterns of Brussels, Wilton,
or other Carpets Rugs and other fabrics which are or may be woven in the
Jacquard Loom together with the arrangement of "plant" to be used therewith as
herein set forth and specified.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
My said Invention has for its object to make globes and other shades for gas
and lamps in an improved manner and so as to have a novel and superior
ornamental effect.
In carrying out my Invention the glass for a shade is taken and blown so as to
have a thin lining of colored glass on the inner side of clear or opal or other glass
forming the main substance of the shade. For this purpose the glass blower first
takes up on his pipe some of the colored glass; and afterwards some of the other
glass; and he then proceeds to blow and shape the shade in the ordinary way.
Afterwards an ornamental design is applied in the usual manner upon the colored
glass, that is on the inner surface of the lining, and the parts not protected by the
applied design are etched away, so as to leave a colored design. With this
improved mode of manufacture the outer surface of the shade remains smooth,
whilst a certain delicacy of effect is produced by the colored design being seen
through the main substance of the shade.

A NEW PUZZLE
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES JOHN CLARK 32 Shirlock Road Gospel Oak N.W. Clerk do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for A NEW PUZZLE and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This game consists of a round board having on its upper side, & near the edge,
fourteen pegs fixed at equal distances, & of thirteen counters, with a hole through
the middle of each, & numbered from 0 (Zero) to 12 (twelve). The board is
furnished with a knob in the centre for the convenience of handling.
The counters are now placed with the numbered sides downwards, one on each
peg, commencing with number 12, & continuing to 0, in the direction indicated by
the arrows on the board-It will be seen that one peg has no counter on it-The
board in this condition may be now produced, & the game proceeded with, which
consists in one party moving in rotation from one peg to the other, as many
counters as he may choose, but not more than twelve, in the direction of the arrows,
& during the absence of another party or the exhibitor, who on returning, makes
known the number of counters that has been moved.
All that is requisite for the performance of this puzzle is, that the exhibitor
acquaint himself privately before producing the board, with the number on the
counter which is immediately next to the vacant peg, in the direction of the
arrows--For an example, let it be supposed that one or two counters have already
been moved, & that the number on the counter next to the vacant peg be 4. Now,
as this counter with the number 4 is on the first peg after the vacant one, he adds
1 to the 4, this making 5. He retires, the moves are made, & on his return he
takes up the fifth counter from the vacant peg in the direction of the arrows,
which reveals the number of counters that has been moved-This number, we will
suppose to be 3, on the fifth peg from the vacant one, he adds 3 to 5, which is 8-
The eighth counter, therefore, will be the next to take up when he returns for
the second time, showing again the number of counters moved, which we will
gain suppose to be 10, on the 8th peg from the vacant one, he adds as before 10
o 8 which is 18-the next counter to be taken up from the vacant peg will be
he 18th, or in other words the 5th, there being only thirteen counters on the board,
4 being the same as the first & so on.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
That this puzzle may not be produced or sold either in any different shape, size
or material, or with fewer or more pegs or counters than those indicated, or without
pegs at all, or with a substitute for either the board, pegs, or counters, in fine, that
it may not as a whole be imitated in any form or shape whatsoever.

The invention relates principally to improvements upon an invention for which
We obtained provisional protection dated December 16, 1884 N° 16543 and has
for its object to provide means for affording a more efficient support to the
"picker" points in order to prevent their being caused to enter the wrong "gaits"
of the "trick" bar by the tension of the fancy threads acting to pull them
sideways when they are free from the "trick" bar.
For this purpose we form on or fix to the "bottom support or facing bar "
described in the complete specification of the aforesaid invention a guide or "trick"
bar which in addition to affording a vertical support to the "picket" points, also
secures the correct spacing thereof and thereby ensures the said "picker" points
entering the proper spaces in the upper "trick" bar.
These improvements are also applicable to other classes of warp lace machines
in which the "picker" points act in a similar manner.

page_text: These improvements are also applicable to other classes of warp lace machines
in which the "picker" points not in a similar manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said

of an accordeon, adapted to be played mechanically by means of specially arranged
music paper.
The improvements consist partly in the application of special mechanism and
in the grouping of the reeds, and partly in the moving mechanism for the music
paper, the dimensions of which are small.
The music paper is placed outside the instrument and moves in a manner, that
does not disturb the hand, occupying the handle, but nevertheless can be easily
changed.
"
The especial mechanism is as follows: The reed. tongues contain for each note
two sounds one of which is acted on by air pressure and the other by suction.
The tongues are arranged quadrangularly or grouped round a centre; each is
covered by a flap, which is moved by a bolt mechanisin, consisting of bolts, beveled,
at the ends, and a flap lever, armed with springs. The ends of the bolts are,
beveled in order to cause, when entering a note-sign the tongue flap to be opened
directly. In consequence the music paper is very small, the note sign or trace
being very short and, owing to the radial arrangement of the tongues, the distance
of the bolts very little.
For the purpose of effecting a regular and forward motion of the music paper,
the transporting drum is connected with a spring device.
J
The spring device is wound up by a turning lever, provided with several arms,
so as to cause a continuous and uniform movement of the music paper. The spring
device can be stopped at any time by a stop spring, adapted to be shifted by means
of a knob.
"
The turning lever may be replaced by any other mechanisms, such as a latch
lever etc. Also the spring device may be formed at will and placed in the interior
of the instrument.

page_text: 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
An accordeon, in which a music paper N. of any suitable shape, arranged outside
the instrument, is moved by a clock-movement adapted to be wound, while the
instrument is being played; the note signs or traces of the music paper serving to
actuate a mechanism consisting of bolt b lever d and flap d, and open thereby the
respective reed tongues, arranged either polygonally or circularly.
AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE WORKING OF BLAST FURNACES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES COCHRANE of The Grange Stourbridge in the County of Worcester
Ironmaster, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT
IN THE WORKING OF BLAST FURNACES" to be as follows:-
In my Specification No 4986 of 1882 I described the use of lime instead of
limestone as a flux in blast furnaces, in order to avoid the abstraction of heat in
decarbonating the limestone at the zone of the furnace where such heat should if
possible be retained. I find that when lime is used as so described if it should, by
admixture with moist fuel or ore, become hydrated, there is a loss of heat at the
hot zone in dehydrating it. My present, invention relates to means of avoiding this
evil, which I effect in the following way.
•
Instead of supplying the furnace with a mixed charge of fuel, ore and flux, as is
usual, I charge the fuel and ore either in succession or in admixture so as to form
a stratum of considerably greater depth than usual; then on this stratum I charge
the proper proportion of lime. The fuel and ore, owing to the depth of the
stratuin which they form, being for a considerable time exposed to the hot gases
rising from the lower zones of the furnace, become thoroughly dried so that they
do not effect hydratian of the lime above them which thus reaches the red hot
zone in a caustic condition.

Ironmaster, 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:-

page_text: I, THOMAS BROCKAS, of Belmont Road, Lewisham, in the County of Kent,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
The object of this invention is to provide a bracket for holding lamps on
velocipedes or other carriages of such a nature that it shall render the light less
liable to be extinguished by jolting whilst travelling over rough ground or surfaces
without the employment of any heavy or complicated mechanism.
a
For the ordinary sheet metal now in use for such brackets I substitute inetal
wire, bent double so as to be sufficiently rigid laterally; this wire is looped at one
end to admit of being fixed to the velocipede or other carriage by means of a clamp,
screw and nut, or other device, the other extremity being bent upwards to be passed
through the hollow socket at the back of the lamp.
The intermediate part of the wire is bent in a couple of loops or in an S shape
in such a nanner as to be nearly rigid laterally but so as to admit of a nearly
vertical up and down motion when subjected to great vibration.

IMPROVED
I, THOMAS BROCKAS of Belmont Road Lewisham in the County of Kent
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
BRACKET FOR CARRYING LAMPS ON VELOCIPEDES OR OTHER CARRIAGES, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Instead of constructing brackets for carrying lamps out of solid metal as has
been hitherto the case, I use wire either coiled or fashioned in an S shape and
sufficiently flexible, to yield slightly and allow the lamp to spring up and down
when passing over rough ground, this springing motion absorbing any vibration
which would otherwise jar the light out.
The accompanying drawings explain themselves, one end of the brackets being
shown formed to encircle the screw which is usually employed to attach the
bracket to the vehicle, and the other end being shaped to fit the socket of the
lamp; the intermediate parts are bent so that the coiled or curved parts close in
when subjected to the stress occasioned by vibration, and readily return to their
original shape.
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. A bracket for holding and carrying lamps formed out of wire sufficiently
elastic to break the shock caused by travelling over rough roads.
2. The brackets illustrated in the drawings accompanying this specification or
any mere variation thereof.

We THOMAS BIGGIN and GEORGE ELLIOTT of the North British Steel Works
Sheffield in the County of York Steel Refiners and Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for "AN IMPROVED KNIFE FOR MACHINES
FOR CUTTING TOBACCO" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In order that our invention may be clearly defined and our Specification fully
understood we refer to the annexed sheet of illustrative Drawings wherein the
same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
Figures 1 and 2 are respectively drawings of the part of a knife constituting the
holder or receiver and an end section thereof.
Figures 3 and 4 are respectively drawings of a blade of a knife and an end
section thereof.
Figures 5 and 6 are respectively drawings of the holder and blade fastened
together ready for placing in the cutting machine.
According to this Invention we make that part of the knife A which constitutes
the holder which is fastened to the machine by means of bolts through the.
slots X and the blade B in two separate pieces instead of in one piece as
hitherto made.
We make the holder A and the blade B preferably of the shapes shown in the
drawings so that when placed together as in figures 5 and 6 they will dovetail
together and may then be fastened in that position by the screws or rivets Y.
Knives made according to this arrangement are more economical in manufacture
and use than those made in one piece as hitherto used as when the blade becomes
worn it may be removed and a new blade substituted thus using again that part
of the knife which constitutes the holder A which as the knives have hitherto
been made was rendered useless when the knife had become worn. And the holder
may be made of inferior metal to the blade without detriment to the quality and
usefulness of the knife.

page_text: Having particularly described the nature of our invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed we claim
1. The use in machines for cutting Tobacco of knives with the part constituting
the holder and the part forming the blade made in two separate pieces as herein-
before substantially described.
2. The use in machines for cutting Tobacco of knives (which are made in two
pieces) with the part constituting the holder and the part forming the blade
fastened together by means of a dovetail joint and screws or rivets in the manner
substantially hereinbefore described and illustrated.

I, FERDINAND SERVUS, Manufacturer of Berlin in the Kingdom of Prussia and
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 consists essentially in the adaptation of a metal spring or of a
strip of metal to picture frames and the like, so as to act either as a suspending
appliance, or as a support according as the frame requires to be hung up or sup-
ported in an inclined position.
Referring to the drawings
-
Figures 1, 2 and 3 shew one modification in which the spring a a is movable in
two clasps b, b, as far as the two stops c, c, allow.
In Figure 1 the lower end of the spring a, a, is shewn bent round and secured
at e this arrangement is that most suitable for suspended frames. In Figures 2
and 3 the spring is unhooked and drawn down so that the frame can stand as
shewn.
In Figures 4, 5 and 6 the metal strip has, as securing device to the frame, a
hinge which is provided with a heel that it, although opened without much force
cannot be made to form an angle of more than say 35 degrees with the frame:
Figure 6 shews this. g, g, Figures 4, 5 and 6 is a spring which presses on the
hinge and holds fast the metal strip f by means of the said projection. On bending
it back the spring yields to a slight pressure (Figures 7, 8, and 9), the spring his
turnable about the axis k and can be fastened at i by means of a stud fitting into
a slit terminating in a round hole cut in the end of the spring. On the spring h,
there is attached at the fastening end the stud m working in a groove e.
This peg
passes when the position shewn in Figures 8 and 9 is reached, into a corresponding
slot which is shewn dotted at Figure 7, and prevents the spring which now serves
for hanging up the frame from slipping sideways.
The photograph frames are in one piece, and the pictures are inserted from
below.
It will be obvious that the principle of the application of the spring and of the
metal strip may be carried out in a number of modifications without exceeding the
scope of this invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the saine is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The application of a spring or of a strip of metal both for suspending frames
of pictures mirrors and the like or for supporting the same in combination with
the fastening devices, substantially as described and shewn in the accompanying
drawings.
AN IMPROVED HAND MINCING BLADE
Year: 1885

page_text: JAMES HENRY SAMBROOK 168 Lower Moss Lane, Hulme, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
AN IMPROVED HAND MINCING BLADE to be as follows:-
My improvements consist of making use of both ends or outside edges of an
ordinary domestic Mincing Blade in the following manner.
At one end of the mincing blade I form a sharp, keen edge which can be used as
a cook's knife. At the other end of the said blade I cut a number of teeth which
can be used as a cook's saw.
J
By these improvements I gain a great advantage in providing a cook's knife,
saw, and mincer on the one blade.
What I claim as secured to me herein is, The combination on one mincing
blade of the three aforesaid culinary appliances instead of only the mincing blade
as before.
