I, HENRY HARINGTON LEIGH Fel. Inst. P.A., Assoc. Mem. Inst! C.E., of
22, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, Engineer and Patent' Agent,
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:-
In my
Patent Specification No. 12767 of 1889, I have described a process for the
production of new colouring matters from the combination of intermediaté bodies
with phenols and amines.
I have now found that isomeric intermediates are produced by first combining one
molecule of a tetrazo body with one molecule of an amine, and then combining one
molecule of an azotized amine to this primary intermediate product, and finally re-
acting on the thus produced secondary intermediate with one molecule of an amine or
phenol. The following are examples of how I carry out the process practically.
EXAMPLE-I.
Tetrazo ditolyl formed from 32 lbs. of Tolidine Sulphate and 14 lbs. of Nitrite of
Soda in the usual and well known mannerisicombined with 25 lbs. of Naphthionate
of Soda in presence of. Acetate of Soda.
To this is added the diazo-naphthalene-mono-sulpho-acid resulting from the
azotization of 25 lbs. of Naphthionic acid. When the combination is complete, 25 lbs.
more Naphthionate of Soda are added, and the whole stirred until the colour
is completely formed.
EXAMPLE II.
Tetrazo diphenyl+ beta naphthylamine-mono-sulpho acid + di-azo benzene-sulpho
acid + Orcin.
EXAMPLE :III.
Tetrazo-Ditolyl + Naphthionic acid + di-azo-benzene-sulpho-acid + beta-naphthyl-
amine-mono-sulpho-acid.
EXAMPLE IV.
Tetrazo ditolyl + Naphthylamine + di-azo-alpha-naphthalene-mono-sulpho-acid +
Naphthionic acid.
The amines and phenols which maybe employed for the production of these
colouring matters are:-
1. Aniline and its homologues:
The naphthylamines :

page_text: 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. The herein described process for the production of colouring matters, which
process consists in combining one molecule of one of the herein mentioned tetrazo
bodies with one molecule of one of the herein-mentioned amines, and then combining
a molecule of an azotized amine with the thus produced primary intermediate product,
and afterwards reacting on the resulting secondary intermediate with one molecule
of one of the herein mentioned amines or phenols, substantially as set forth.
2. As new colouring matters, the products obtained by the above mentioned process.

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:
According to this invention I manufacture elastic tiles of vulcanized india rubber
made of the same colour throughout the substance of each tile. I prefer to make the
tiles by exposing a mixture of india rubber or india rubber compound, sulphur and
pigment to heat in a mould in the ordinary way of making vulcanized india rubber,
but the mixture may also be vulcanized in sheets and afterwards cut into any desired

fixed to the floor or other surface to be covered, in various ways; but I prefer to
employ a cement composed of two parts of gutta-percha, one part resin, and one part
Stockholm tar.
I find that tiles of vulcanized india rubber have many advantages over tiles and
floor cloths as heretofore used. Being soft and clastic they afford an excellent foot-
hold which is a matter of considerable importance in the decks and cabins of ships at
sea whilst their slightly yielding nature renders traffic over them noiseless and enables
such flooring to better withstand the wear and tear in Entrance Halls and Landings
and heing impervious to water they form a cleanly floor in Smoking Rooms and
Smoking Carriages.
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. Elastic tiles of vulcanized india rubber, each tile being of the same colour
throughout its substance.
2. The process of manufacturing elastic tiles consisting in heating a mixture of
india rubber or india rubber compound, pigment and sulphur in a mould.

A Method of Recovering Float Gold.
I, EDWARD ALFRED COWPER, of No. 6 Great George Street, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
When crushed minerals containing gold are washed, many small particles of the
metal tend to float on the liquid and pass away with it.
My invention relates to means of causing such particles to subside in the liquid so
as to be recovered along with the heavier particles and pieces. For this purpose, I
place at intervals over the liquid several pipes perforated with small holes on their
undersides, and cause steam to issue from the perforations in jets directed on the
liquid.
When the steam meets any of the floating particles it condenses on them and wets
them, so that they sink in the liquid.

Improvements in Teething Rings.
I, CHARLES JOHN BAILEY of Newton in the State of Massachusetts one of the
United States of America, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Teething rings are now commonly made of rubber, cylindrical or substantially
so in cross section, and when impressed act only on the edge of the gums of the
infant.
It is desirable to have a ring constructed to act on the sides as well as the edges
of the gums, more particularly at the time a tooth is appearing, the object being to
assist in pushing the gums from the teeth at the sides, or face and back.
In my efforts to accomplish this result I have provided the ring with many flexible
teeth projecting therefrom on each or all sides.
These teeth act on the sides of the gums, and the body of the ring as well as the
teeth act on the edge.
Figure 1 shows in plan view a teething ring embodying this invention, and
Figure 2 an edge view of the ring.
The main body a of the ring has formed on it at each side or face many teeth b,
they being herein represented as cylindrical in cross section and flat ended, but they
may be conical or pointed or otherwise formed.
The teeth or projections bare formed integral with the body a.
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 teething ring composed of the body a, having the teeth or projections b on it,
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Wood Block Flooring.
I, THOMAS CHARTERIS, of Earl Street Westminster, Middlesex, Builder and
Contractor, 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 my invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in wood block
flooring and which invention has for its object to construct the said wood block
flooring of greater rigidity than heretofore and to enable the blocks to be laid more
easily and in a neater and more expeditious manner than hitherto, and when laid the
blocks are immovable as will be hereinafter pointed out.
I now proceed to describe my said invention, reference being had to the accom-
panying drawings, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon; like
letters referring to similar parts throughout all the views.
Fig. 1. is a perspective view of a floor block made in accordance with my inven-
tion. Fig. 2 is a plan view of so much of a flooring as will serve to illustrate the
nature of my said invention, and showing one of the many ways in which the blocks
may be laid. Fig. 3. is an elevation of the floor as shown in Fig. 2 taken on
line xx.
In the drawings, A, refers to the blocks which are dovetail rabbeted on both sides
as shown at a and continued on to form tongues, B, which fit into the dovetailed
rabbets of the other blocks. These said tongues B are made narrower in width than
the body of the block, and extend beyond the ends thereof as shown, and are
bevelled off as shown at b.
It will be readily understood that when the blocks are laid in any desired pattern
that the tongue B will enter the dovetail grooves formed in the sides of the other
blocks and will thereby bind the blocks together in such a manner as to prevent
one block being removed without displacing the others. The blocks are further held
in place by a suitable cement C which enters, and forms a rigid key in the cavities D
formed by the dovetail grooves a.
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 wood floor block made as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

I JOHN HENRY DARBY of Brymbo in the County of Denbigh Steel 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 is a simple and cheap contrivance for making a secure joint for
flanged pipes and analogous uses.
To effect this object I use a ring of suitable shape & size made of soft steel or
other metallic substance which ring may or may not be coated with lead, tin
or other suitable material. This ring is stamped out or otherwise manufactured from
a plate of even thickness & has one or more continuous corrugations concentric
or otherwise. When making the joint the corrugated ring is placed concentric with
the tube between the flanges of two adjacent pipe sections & the joint bolts are
then screwed up till the required degree of tension is obtained. The joint is then
ready for use without further packing.
To show more clearly how my invention is carried out I furnish drawings, but I
do not limit myself to the form here shown.
Fig. 1 is a plan of.one form of ring.
Fig. 2 shows the ring in transverse section between two flanges the flanges not
being screwed up tight.
Having now particularly described & 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:
For the purpose of making a secure pipe joint, the use & manufacture of a ring
of soft steel or other suitable metallic substance stamped out or otherwise made
from a plate of uniform thickness substantially as described.

THOMAS BARTON Electrical Engineer Blackburn in the County of Lancaster do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
An improved motion for electrical switches giving a quick make and break without
a position of rest between the off and on points. I place discs or balls upon the
actuating part of the arm or spindle which carries the contact inaker such balls or
discs bearing upon a flat spring shaped in an inclined plane after the fashion of a
sash fastener or if more than two contacts on a corrugated shape of flat spring or the
springs may be round and shaped helically round the spindle carrying the balls or
dises & bearing against an inclined or curved plane. In any case the combination
of roller or disc bearing on an inclined or curved surface or spring so actuates the
contact maker so that the user cannot leave it in any position other than on or off
& at the same time giving a quick movement thus avoiding the making of arcs. The
switch complete may be mounted on the usual circular china or other base with cover
to turn from the centre either with key or thumb piece or to pull on or off like a bell
lever or it may pull over like a tumbler.

I THOMAS BARTON of Amsworth Street Blackburn Electrical Engineer 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 :-
The object of my improvements is to cause the contact box A to fly to the on or
off B & C independently of being forced after the first impulse being given the object
being to prevent ares or heating through faulty contact. My invention consists of
a short arin D. and I prefer that this arm should contain a pulley or roller E to reduce
the friction this roller may work against a bar or lever F or may work directly on a
spring as shown at G. figure 1.
The switches as designed hitherto so far as I know have not contained any device
for both making and breaking electric contacts otherwise than by a continuous force
applied to the handle, thus in the hands of a careless or inexperienced person arcs
may be formed or dangerous heat generated through a partly made contact.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The combination of a pulley or roller working against a lever actuated by a
spring or working against a spring only, of special design without the lever &
applied for the purpose of forcing the contact maker home in both directions &
applied to a switch for making & breaking electric circuits.

Improvements in Sanitary Materials or Preparations for Preventing
the Decomposition and Deterioration of Sizes and similar
Finishes for Fabrics and the like, and for Preventing the Access.
of Infectious Disease.
I, ROBERT HANNAN, Merchant, 42, Bath Street, Glasgow, Scotland, 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 :-
In the manufacture or finishing of cotton, linen and other goods, paper, skins and.
other tissues, it is customary to incuperate into them a stiffening or thickening material
such as starch, dextrin, natural gum, gelatin, algin or size.
All these materials are prone to decompose and produce offensive products, or allow
of the formation of mould when they are exposed, for example, to warm moist air
not specially sterilised. When brought in contact with the person-as, for instance,
on an article of clothing-they afford, as is well known, a very suitable soil for the
development of the germs of specific diseases.
In order, therefore, to prevent or arrest the growth or development of such germs
or infectious matter, I mix with the said finish, priming, thickening or stiffening
material, a certain proportion of a suitable mixture capable of effecting the purpose
indicated, while not injuring the useful properties of the said materials.
The mixture I employ contains quadriborate of soda and salicylate of soda (or other
quadriborate or salicylate soluble in water; but ordinarily I prefer the soda salts. A
convenient proportion is forty (40) parts of quadriborate to one (1) part of salicylate;
which quantities are usually sufficient for one thousand parts of solid gelatin, size or
the like, prior to solution. I do not, however, limit myself to these proportions.
One advantage of this mixture is, that when brought in contact with living skin,
the acid of the perspiration liberates from it salicylic acid, a very valuable
disinfective.
Again, the same liberation of salicylic acid will usually occur on wall papers when
my mixture has been added to the size, because the atmosphere of a room where gas
is burned is always acid with sulphuric acid.

page_text: I now incorporate my said mixture with the thickening material in any convenient
manner, by dissolving it either alone or conjointly therewith, in warm water, and
stirring well together.
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.) The admixture of quadriborate of soda and salicylate of soda with a glutinous
material

An Improved Self-righting Apparatus for Emptying Pit Tubs or
Corves and the like.
I, SIMOM TATE Mining Engineer of Trundon Grange R.S.O. 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 the construction and arrangement of a
Kickup or Tippler used for emptying tubs corves and the like by applying to such
Kickup or Tippler a vessel containing liquid so that after the tub is emptied the weight
of the liquid causes the Kickup to right itself automatically.
The nature of these improvements will be best understood by referring to the
accompanying sheet of drawings showing one of the methods by which the improve-
ments may be put in practice.
Fig. I represents plan.
Fig. II represents a side view of the Kickup with vessel containing the liquid
attached arranged according to this invention with tub inside kickup.
Fig. III represents end elevation
Fig. IV represents kickcup inverted in such a position as to cause the tub to
empty itself.
The action of this kickup K is similar to that of an ordinary one but the weight
of the liquid balance contained in vessel A underneath the kickup adjusts itself
more readily to the weight of the kickup and load than a solid balance does and
by having the vessel sufficiently large so as not to be completely filled with liquid
the weight always acts at the point of greatest leverage and therefore the most
favourable for a counter balance when turning over the tub T reaches its inverted
position as shown in Fig. 4 with just the necessary momentum for emptying itself
as soon as this takes place the weight of the liquid in A brings the empty tub
round to the required position to enable it to be exchanged for a full one.
The exact quantity of liquid required to overcome the combined weight of the
kickup and emptied tub is easily adjusted all that is necessary being to add to or
take from the vessel a quantity in proportion to the weight to be overcome.

Improvements in the Treatment of Brewer's Grains for Cattle Food.
Year: 1889

page_text: Improvements in the Treatment of Brewer's Grains for Cattle Food.
I, CHARLES PARKIN GOODE, of Albion Mills, York Road, Kings Cross, in the
County of Middlesex. Forage 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 treatment of brewer's grains so as to produce them in a
state conveniently portable and having great nutritious qualities in moderate weight,
suitable as food for cattle.
For this purpose I subject the dried grains while they are still hot, to great pressure
in a mould having removeable top and bottom plates and intermediate free plates
dividing the mould into compartments. After subjecting the material to pressure in
this mould, I clamp the top and bottom plates together while the material is still
under pressure, and then, after releasing the pressure, I remove the compressed
material from the press and allow it to cool. When it is cooled, I remove the clamps
and obtain the material in the form of dry coherent cakes suited for transport.
When the grains to be treated in the first instance are cold, I press them in the
same way, but after taking the compressed material out of the press, I heat the whole
before unclamping it and then after it is cooled I separate it into the cakes. In some
cases, instead of treating grains alone, I mix with them other nutritious substances,
and treat the mixture in the described manner.
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:-
The herein described treatment of brewer's grains with or without admixture of
other nutritious substances, so as to produce dry coherent cakes suitable for cattle
food.
Improvement in fit of waistcoats or vests
Year: 1889

page_text: I JOHN WELLS of 49 Tredegar Square Bow London in the County of Middlesex
Cutter de 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 hy
the following statement :-
This Invention has for its object, Improvement in fit of waistcoats or vests.
A waistcoat or vest that has been cut for a figure that is full in the chest and flat
in the stomach will not fit a figure that is flat in the chest and full in the stomach
although the measurement round the body is the same in both figures.
This defect arises principally becauses a radius of the bottom of the waistcoat or
vest taken from the top button and a radius taken from the top of back round the
shoulder and under the arm do not correspond in length and position as shown on
accompanying drawing by the radius B, C, from the point A, and E, F, from
point D.
Therefore a waistcoat or vest cut by the line A, G, which represents a full chest
and flat stomach put on by a person that has a flat chest and full stomach, it most be
forced forward in front to form the line A, H, to do this the bottom of waistcoat or vest
most be raised as shown by the radius E, F, except an increased length can be
obtained between the point D, and the line Á, G.
To give this increase of length between the point D and the line A, G I introduce
backs of an elastic material such as any kind of netting stockinette gives a limited
increase but if cut the cross way of the web that is the long way of the web running
from side to side and the elastic way of the web from top to bottom of back this will
secure an additional length when required between the point D and the line A, G also
the additional length required round the shoulder at M.

page_text: 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
Lst. The using for backs of waistcoats or vests a material sufficiently elastic to meet
the requirements mentioned in the specification.
2nd. The using of netting for backs of waistcoats or vests.
3rd. The using of stockinette for backs of waistcoats or vests for the purpose of
providing increased length when required between the top of back and front of
waistcoat or vest for persons full in the stomach.
4th. The using of stockinette for back of waistcoat or vest cut accross the web that
is the length way of the web running from side to side and the elastic way of web
from top to bottom of back thereby securing a greater reserve of length to be used
when required for corpulent persons between the top of back and front of waistcoat
or vest.

A Bayonet or Drill Pointed Screw.
I MARY JANE ROWLAND wife of John Richards Rowland of 166 Brooke Road
Clapton do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
A screw made of steel brass iron or other material having a pointed end so shaped
as to have three sides with sharp edges and the same can also be grooved or fluted
out in a similar manner to a bayonet and which when placed in any position required
can be driven into wood or other substance and then finally screwed home in the usual
way the said point acting as a drill.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Bayonet or Drill Pointed Screw.
I MARY JANE ROWLAND late of 166 Brooke Road Clapton but now of 7 Braemar
Road West Green Road Tottenham both in the County of Middlesex wife of John
Richards Rowland 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 point to a wood screw which unlike
the gimlet point will not split the wood and which may be easily used without
drilling.
My Invention consists of a wood screw with a drill point triangular in section
having sharp edges the sides of which may be fluted similar to a bayonet.
A
The triangular point must be made at least as large as the top of the screw thread
and the screw thread must be made so as to run into and form a continuation of one
of the edges of the said point. The proportions of the point may be varied with the
size of the screw and with the nature of the material the screws are to be used in.
The resistance which would otherwise exist if the outer ridge of the thread of the
screw extended beyond the hase of the said drill point is thus done away with.
screw having such a point can be driven into the hardest wood up to or above the
first or second thread of the screw and may then be screwed home without splitting
the wood the drill point acting as a clearer. The screw also will not run but will
go in the direction in which it is pointed which is not the case with ordinary
gimlet pointed ones in which a strong tendency exists to follow the grain of the
wood. The fibre also of the wood is disturbed much less by the cutting action of
my improved point than by the cleaving or splitting action of other screws.
The accompanying drawings describe my invention in which
Figure 1 "A" represents a wood screw provided. with my improved point "B."
Figure 2 shows section "()" of drill point not fluted.
Figure 3 shows section "D" of drill point fluted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim as novel, is
In a wood screw the drill point "B" either plain or fluted substantially as herein
described reference, being had to the drawings hereto annexed.

page_text: I, CHARLES WILLIAM TITTERINGTON of 16 Alexandra Street, London Road, Preston,
in the county of Lancashire, Mechanic, 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 and accompanying
drawings
--
This Invention consists in so forming a spanner or screw wrench that the
openings at present made to fit and work one size nut only is made to fit and
work two sizes of nuts,-this I accomplish by means of forming one or more sides
of the opening to take a screw nut the depth only for about half the thickness
of the said spanner-Here I set back forming a rebate so that the opening or
opposite side of the spanner will receive and actuate a nut of a different size-
By this means I make my improved spanner to work twice as many sizes of nuts
as can be worked by the existing makes of spanner.
In order that the nature of my invention may be the more fully understood, I will
now proceed to describe the several figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto
annexed, all of which figures are marked with the like letters of reference
throughout.
Figure 1. shews a plan of a form of my improved spanner on one side and
Figure 2, shews the plan of the same spanner on the other side, in both of figures
the letter A signifies the space to receive the screw nut.
Figure 3. is a section taken through Figures 1 and 2, at dotted lines re
shewing at B the rebate or set off by means of which the larger opening is
obtained.
As my improvements are capable of various modifications without departing from
the principle thereof, I do not restrict myself to materials, dimensions, or to the

page_text: exnet section by means of which I obtain the larger opening in conjunction with
the smaller one.
Elaving now fully described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I claim is.
A spanner for actuating screw nuts so formed that the opening made to receive the 5
nut is larger on one side of the spanner or screw wrench than it is on the other side,
all as described in this specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
