Improvements in Hydraulic Ram Pumps.
1, JAMES KEITH, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. of 57 Holborn Viaduct in the City of
London, Gas, Hydraulic, Heating and Ventilating Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention which relates to pumps actuated by hydraulic rams has for its
object the provision of devices for preventing too rapid falling of the pump
plunger or piston and consequent locking of the ram dash valve on its seat.
To that end I secure at the bottom of the pump cylinder between the pump and
the ram proper a disc valve of large area opening into the cylinder to admit of
free inflow of the water when the shock takes place in the ram and to close when
the shock is spent and intercept the return of the water which then flows through
a bye pass or small port fitted with a screw or other device for regulating the rate
of outflow. By this means the descent of the piston or plunger, which may be
weighted, is retarded and the cylinder becomes a dash-pot.

Improved Means for Oleaning, Mordanting, and Dyeing Fabrics and
Tissues.
I, HENRY GARDNER, of 166 Fleet Street, in the City of London, Patent
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, which has been com-
municated to me from abroad by Christen Peder Andersen of Copenhagen,
Denmark, Manufacturer, 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 method and means connected therewith, whereby
fabrics or tissues may be cleaned, mordanted, and dyed with the aid of one single
substance or compound containing the necessary material for these three
operations; whereby a new and fresh appearance can be given to old, worn, and
faded fabrics.
The invention is chiefly as follows, due allowance being made for latitude or
modifications in the use of the said substances,
16 parts of soda lyes.
This mass is carefully mixed and well boiled, and is added to the former after a
period of about 14 days, the whole is then heated, and while being constantly
stirred, a mixture of boiled water, boracic acid (H,BO,) and a colouring pigment
such as hematine, or other first class boiled colour is added thereto.
For light coloured material, aniline dye may be used, provided it is so treated as
to be able to withstand the action of the lyes, a point which must be first carefully
tested.
The strength of this additional mixture can be regulated at will. If required,
the compound may be passed through a sieve and be dried in order to assume a
solid form. A quantity of this compound or mass is dissolved in a suitable
quantity of water, preferably rain water, at each separate use, the solution being
applied to the fabric, by means of a brush, or by friction, or otherwise, the fabric
assuming after such treatment, a clear, clean, fresh and new appearance.
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 :-
A cleaning, mordanting, and dyeing compound, consisting chiefly of a mixture of
palm oil, salt water, or brine, bark extract boiled in vinegar, and potash and soda
Iyes, substantially as described, to which compound is added the desired colouring

page_text: material, preferably hematine or aniline dye, treated in such a manner as to
withstand the action of the lyes in the manner set forth.

Improvements in Valves for Pneumatic Tyres.
We, THOMAS GUTHRIE, Decorator of 3 Thorney Terrace, and WILLIAM
THOMAS HALL Schoolmaster of 1 Whitburn Terrace both in South Shields in
the County of Durham, 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 improvements in valves for pneumatic tyres and we will
fully describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figures 1 and 2 show respectively a sectional elevational view (valve open) and
an elevational view (valve shut) and in the following description like marks of
reference designate like parts.
Referring to the drawings, it will be observed that the device consists of an outer
tube A of brass or other suitable material which is bored out large enough to allow
second tube B to be inserted inside of it.
The diameter of the boring of the outer tube may be made to decrease towards
one extremity so that one end of the inner tube may fit tightly into it and be
soldered thereat if necessary to make the joint airtight.
One end of tube A is screwed to take a cap piece C with a leather or other
suitable pad E inside of it and when cap C is screwed down, pad E abuts firmly
against the end of tube B, forming an airtight joint thereat.
An opening is made through the outer tube below the cap to allow a pump to be
applied thereto, or a nozzle piece O may be inserted into the opening for the pump
connection to be made thereto. N is a nut for tightening up washer W against the
desired surface, F being a flange between which and the washer for example the
cycle rim and tyre may intervene.
For the purpose of inflating, the cap C is slightly withdrawn, thereby with-
drawing pad E from end of tube B. The air from pump then passes from opening
or nozzle at O down the annular space between tubes A and B, and then along
inside of tube B into the tyre or other vessel.
After inflation, the cap is screwed down tightly and the valve is closed.
C¹ is a protecting cap for nozzle O which may be attached to any convenient
point by chain C'.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The improvements in valves for pneumatic tyres consisting in the combination
of an outer and an inner tube attached to each other at one end the outer tube being
provided with an opening for the admission of air from an air pump and with an
adjustable cap containing a leather or other pad adapted to open or close at will the
passage to the inner tube substantially as herein set forth.
2. The combination of parts forming the improved valve for pneumatic tyres
substantially as herein set forth.

Improvements in and connected with the Strokers of Combing
Machines.
We, JOSEPH CRABTREE, and CHARLES FREDERICK CRABTREE, both of Park
Side Mills, Bowling, Bradford, in the County of York, Machine Wool Combers,
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 certain improvements in what are known as "strokers,"
and has for its object the construction of the same in such a manner that, the fibre
on leaving the large circle of say a "Noble's" combing machine, is retained on the
small comb circles in a much straighter condition, with less liability of the fibre
rising up on the said comb circles, and coming in contact with the "necks"
" of the
drawing off rollers and "choking" the same, thus necessitating the frequent
stoppage of the machine for cleaning purposes as is the case with "strokers
constructed as hitherto.
"
In order that our invention may be fully understood, we will describe the same
in detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a cross section of such portions of a circular combing machine
as is necessary to illustrate our invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan, and
Figs. 3 and 4, enlarged details of our improved "stroker."
The "strokers" are mounted to the pillers A. A. and driven in any
convenient manner as hitherto. The blades for assisting in the division of the
fibre between the comb circles have been secured around the periphery of a circular
plate or disc.
By our improvement we secure several metal vanes B. on the face of a disc D.
forming part of the "stroker," the ends of the said vanes extending to the outer
circumference where they are by preference of a circular form somewhat as shown.
By securing the vanes B. on the face of the disc D. as before described, the
" stroker "
not only assists in the division of the fibre between the large circle E
and small circle F. but forms a fan, the current of air from which, has a tendency
to blow the fibre into the small comb circle F. and retain same therein until drawn
off in the ordinary manner.
By a current of air acting on the fibre in the manner described, it is prevented
rising up and wrapping around the "necks" of the drawing off rollers as is the case
when "strokers" of the ordinary construction are used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The method of diverting and retaining the fibre in the small circles of a combing
mashine in a position that it is clear of the "necks" of the drawing off rollers by
means of a current of air propelled by vanes B of a rotating stroker constructed
and operated substantially in the manner as shown and described.

Improved Method of Packing Eggs for Shipment.
I, FELIX WILHELM SEYFERTH, of No. 2 Wendenstrasse, Hamburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved method of packing eggs for shipment.
The methods of packing eggs for forwarding or shipment hitherto employed are
subject to the inconvenience that they either do not reliably protect the shells from
being broken or do affect the flavour of the eggs without giving any security that
they will not turn putrid in transit.
To overcome these disadvantages, I pack the eggs in watertight boxes or casks
(in the accompanying drawing is shown in vertical section a cask partly filled with
eggs) and then fill up the intermediate spaces between the eggs with a liquid which
not only prevents the eggs turning putrid, but will not exert a disadvantageous
influence upon their flavour. For use as such a preventive liquid lime water (not milk
of lime) is particularly well adapted or any other indifferent or neutral salt-solution
of a density of about 11° Bé. corresponding to the specific weight of the eggs. When
filling the liquid into the respective box or cask, care must be taken that no air
remains inside the latter. For this reason, it is preferable to first close the box or
cask containing the eggs and then pour in the liquid through a suitable opening
which will allow the air to escape and may be closed by a plug s¹. Or the air may
escape through another opening arranged at the highest point of the box or cask
and adapted to be closed by means of a suitable plug s.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An improved method of packing eggs for forwarding, consisting in packing
the eggs into a watertight box or cask and filling up this box or cask with a liquid
preventing the eggs from being broken and adapted to protect them from turning
putrid, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. Packing eggs for shipment by laying the same in a vessel filled with a liquid,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Beer.
I, JOHANN PIKHART, of Friedhofsgasse 5, Mahrisch Schoenberg, Moravia,
Government Official, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to a special preparation of the fruit of the carob tree
(ceratonia siliqua) and the application of the prepared fruit in brewing so as to give
beer greater body, and a pleasant aroma, to take off the vapid bitter flavour, to
render beer better fitted for keeping, and wholesome for the digestive organs.
For this purpose the fruits have warm water poured over them, are washed and
dried at a temperature of about 30° C. until they present a brownish colour, and
the juice of a fruit when it is broken is dark red. The dried fruits still warm, are
cut into pieces and may be stored or added directly to a mash in about the
proportion of about 2.5 kilos. to a hectolitre of ordinary beer.

COMPLETE SI MOTTICATION.
Improvements in Egg-cups.
I, JOHANN GERHARD THOMAS, of 5 Zippelhaus Hamburg, 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 an improved construction of egg-cups.
Egg-cups at present in use are very inconvenient on account of the varying
sizes of eggs and the unalterable size of the cups used, and because the shell of the
egg cannot easily be removed from the cup, and the object of my invention is to
overcome these defects.
I attain this end by constructing the cup in the manner hereinafter described
and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing which forms part of this Specifi-
cation, and in which Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of my improved cup.
The body of the cup consists of a series of elastic or spring fingers a fixed at
their lower ends to the stem or foot f, and encircled at their upper ends by an
elastic spring ring b. By this construction the cup will accommodate itself to eggs
of any size.
In the base of the cup is mounted a finger k carrying a plate d at its upper end,
and a button g at its lower end. Between the bottom of the
cup and the button
is a spring encircling the finger k and adapted to restore the finger and the
plate d mounted on it after it has been pressed upwards to eject the shell c of
the egg
I wish it to be particularly understood that I do not limit myself to the precise
details of construction hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing, but that I hold myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as
fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention, and
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 :-
1. An egg-cup the containing part of which consists of a series of elastic or
spring fingers encircled at their upper or free ends by an elastic or spring ring, as
and for the purpose set forth.
2. In an egg-cup, the combination of an elastic or spring cup or containing part,
and of a spring finger for ejecting the shell of the egg, as set forth.

Improved Means for Securing Handles to Brooms or Brushes and
similar articles.
I WILLIAM HENRY HASLAM of 75 Bradford Street Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Yarn 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 relates to improved means for readily securing handles to brooms,
brushes, squeegees, or other articles for similar uses.
The nature of my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be per-
formed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the
annexed sheet of drawings and the following explanation thereof.
Fig 1 is a plan view Fig. 2 an edge view and Fig. 3 a transverse section of
a broom or brush head showing my invention as applied thereto.
Fig. 4 is a detached view of the taper-screwed socket hereinafter referred to.
The invention consists principally in applying to the broom or brush head a,
a brass or other metal bush or socket (Fig. 4) which is made with a flange c
or lugs and is bored slightly taper through the centre and tapped with a tapering
thread.
The broom or brush head a has a hole bored into it at the required angle to
receive the body of the metal bush or socket and of such a diameter that the
latter fits tightly therein. It is then firmly secured to the broom or brush head a
by screws or nails d.
The end of the wooden handle e (see Fig. 2) is made slightly taper and it
is attached to the head a by screwing its tapered end into the screwed taper hole
in the metal bush or socket until it becomes tightly secured therein, the metal
thread of the bush or socket cutting a corresponding thread upon the tapered end
of the wooden handle and making a firm and secure connection, as shown at Fig. 3.
It will be evident that the handle can be detached at any time by simply
unscrewing it, and a new handle can be readily applied when required by merely
tapering its end slightly and screwing it into the metal bush or socket until tight.
When the broom or brush is worn out the same metal socket may also be removed
from the old head and applied to a new broom or brush.
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 improved means for securing wooden handles to brooms, brushes, or similar
articles consisting of a brass or other metal bush or socket having a flange or lugs
and a tapering hole with an internal screw thread, such bush or socket being
securely fastened to the head of the broom, brush, or other article, by screws or
nails passing through such flange or lugs and the wooden handle correspondingly
tapered and screwed tight into the socket substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated by the drawings annexed.
