Improvements in Coking Processes.
I, JOHN BOWING, of Tilbury, in the County of Essex, Consulting Chemist,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN COKING
PROCESSES, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In the Specification filed in pursuance of my application for Letters Patent
No. 10137 of 1888 I described a method of making briquettes from small coal and
similar substances which consisted in mixing the coal with a large quantity of
water and with a small percentage of tar shale oil or other similar substance which
has the effect of forming an almost uniform mixture of the tar and coal from which
the water may be easily expelled by compression and drying. Since the date of
the said Letters Patent I have discovered that this uniform mixture may be even
more easily and effectually obtained by placing the coal water and tar or similar
substances in any suitable closed vessel and passing steam into it. The steam.
enters at the top of the vessel and forces the water together with many impurities.
in the coal, and a large number of tar products downwards and out through an
aperture in the bottom of the vessel, leaving the desired uniform mixture inside the
vessel, and for these improvements I have applied for Letters Patent No. 9199
of 1890.
Now I have further discovered that the uniform mixture of coal or similar
substances with tar or similar substances prepared in either of the above mentioned
ways is in a peculiarly advantageous condition for coking. More especially I have
discovered that coals of an anthracitic character which have been found hitherto to
refuse to coke or to coke in such a manner that the resulting coke is of com-
paratively small value, may be easily and very completely coked by my process
which consists in first effecting the uniform mixture by either of the processes:
above described and then coking that mixture in the way in which coking is
usually effected.
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
Manufacturing coke from a mixture of coal slack lignite or similar substances
with tar shale oils or similar substances prepared as above described.

I JAMES READ RICKARD of Doris Street, Kennington Cross London S.E.
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 :-
A plug of india-rubber or other suitable material and of various shapes so formed
as to fit into holes caused by puncturing or other causes in pneumatic and other
hollow tyres, and when inserted therein with the head or flange (A) in the interior
of the tyre and the shank (B) filling the hole the pressure of the air when applied
through the inflating valves will force the flange or head (A) against the inner
wall of the tyre and effectually make an air tight joint.
The method of insertion is as follows:-
A hole having been made in the tyre to suit plug at the place where the puncture
has occurred, the plug is coated with india-rubber solution or some other suitable
cement and forced with the head (A) first into the interior of the tyre, as shewn
on the drawing; the shank (B) is then pulled outwards thus pressing the head (A)
against the inside of the tyre. The tyre is then inflated and the pressure on the
head or flange (A).forces the plug against the inside of the tyre and effectually
holds it in position, thus making a perfect repair.
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 plug of various materials and shapes for the repair of pneumatic and other
hollow tyres having a head or flange.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
I, GEORGE JAMES WARD, of 1, Green Lanes, Stoke Newington Green, in the
County of Middlesex, Warehouse Manager, 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 has for its object improvements in the manufacture of "welted "
soles for boots and shoes.
22
For this purpose the "welt is made by inserting a cord a (as represented in
Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings hereto annexed) inside a narrow strip of folded
fabric of cotton wool silk leather or other suitable material band stitching same
close up to the cord a. The edge of the folded fabric is then inserted between the
inner and outer soles c and d and stitched with the corded edge a outwards as shown.
Figure 2 being a section on the line 1-2 of Figure 1.
C
The "welted" sole thus made is now ready for being sewn round the "welted"
edges to the "upper" of a boot or shoe.
Thus a complete welted "sole is prepared ready for use in making up boots and
shoes no binding turning or fixing being required as the "welted" sole simply
requires to be sewn on to the "upper."
C
My improved welted "soles can be made of leather felt wool cotton skins straw
cork or combinations of such or other materials or compounds if desired.
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 manufacture of boots and shoes by making up "welted" soles
ready for being applied to and combined with the * uppers of boots and shoes
substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described and
represented in the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Central Draught Lamps.
I ERNST SCHUSTER of 18 Prenzessinneu Strausse Berlin, in the Kingdom of
Prussia and Empire of Germany, Lamp 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 :-
In central draught lamps as heretofore constructed the air enters at the bottoms
of the oil reservoirs and ascends in a vertical direction to the burners so that
reservoirs with closed bottoms are not applicable for such lamps.
In a lamp constructed according to this invention the air enters a tube at the top
of the oil reservoir whence it passes down into the reservoir and thence up to the
centre of the burner. By thus passing the air through the reservoir the oil is
cooled and is thereby rendered less explosive. Another advantage is, that with
this invention oil reservoirs for central draught lamps may be made of glass,
porcelain or other material with closed bottoms instead of metal as has been
necessary with the ordinary single air through passage.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of a metal oil reservoir provided with my improved
air tube and,
Fig. 2 is an elevation showing my invention applied to a glass or porcelain
reservoir.
The diameter of the air tube "" in the receiver "a" of Fig. 1 or in the
receiver "c" of Fig. 2 is the same and both air tubes are bent and lead from
the upper part of the receiver to the bottom and rise in a vertical direction from
the centre of the reservoir " a to the burner.
If reservoirs of glass, porcelain and the like are used, it is necessary to fix a
ring "d" as in Fig. 2 on the receiver.
As the air tube "6" goes twice through the receiver it is evident that the
petroleum is cooled and that the danger of explosion is diminished. It also permits
of a receiver for petroleum, oil and the like being made of glass (Fig. 2). Moreover,
the long and circuitous path which the air is compelled to follow through the
tube "b" which has an equal width throughout heats it and causes a perfect
combustion of the oil, and yields an absolutely white flame without smell.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In central draught lamps conducting the air from the top of the oil reservoir
through the reservoir to the centre of the burner by a bent tube substantially as
described.
2. The arrangement and construction of central draught lamps substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Mail Carts.
We JOSHUA CALEY of Lytton Terrace, Hunslet, Leeds in the County of York,
Joiner and BENJAMIN PARKER, Commercial Street, Shipley, in the said County,
Ironmonger, 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 mail carts, and has for its
object the construction of same in such a manner that they may be used as baby
carriages having a varied arrangement of seats.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we will describe the same
by aid of the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a side view of one of our improved carriages having the backs
of the seats so arranged that the occupants both face the shafts, in this view the
near side of the carriage is broken away for the purpose of better illustration.
Fig. 2 is a plan of same the backs of the seats being turned back to back.
Fig. 3 is a similar view shewing the backs of the seats arranged so that the
occupants may sit face to face, and
Fig. 4 shews the backs of the seats arranged for the occupants to look behind
the cart.
The body of the cart is constructed somewhat in the ordinary manner and
supported upon the wheels B. The seats C are fixtures, sufficient space D being
left between the two to allow room for the occupants legs, a well E being formed
under the body of the cart for the occupants feet. The backs F of the seats C
are curved and mounted on the studs G, secured to the sides S of the cart, as
centres, whereby the said backs may be turned round to the various positions shewn
and described.
The studs, or centre pins G may be secured to the curved backs F and rest in
the bushes fixed in the sides S of the cart or vice versa, and are inserted in such a
manner as will allow of them being easily withdrawn, the backs F are then
detachable thereby converting the perambulator or baby carriage into a mail cart.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.
A mail cart in which are combined the seats C with the backs F pivoted to the
sides S on studs G in such a manner that the backs F may be turned for the
occupants to sit facing the front or back of the cart as desired.

An Improved Meat Salting Machine.

An Improved Meat Salting Machine.
I CHARLES BAKER of 87ª Cowcross Street, West Smithfield in the County of
Middlesex, Butcher's 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 :-
Meat salting machines as hitherto constructed have consisted of a brine solution
tank upon which a force pump is mounted having a delivery hose connected there-
with terminating in a sharp perforated nozzle which is inserted into the piece of
meat to be salted in order to cause the brine solution to be injected into the
substance of the meat.
With such salting machines there is the danger of drawing into the pump barrel
more or less air together with the brine solution and delivering air together with
the brine solution into the substance of the meat to be salted and thereby
damaging its keeping qualities.
My invention consists in providing a force pump and brine solution tank so con-
structed as to avoid the possibility of admission of air to the pump barrel together
with the charge of brine solution. For this purpose I arrange the various parts of
the apparatus in the manner shown in the accompanying drawing which is an
elevation of the complete apparatus partly in section.
A is the brine tank at the base of which I secure a dependent cylinder B in
which is secured the force pump C by means of a bolt D hollowed as shown to
form also the valve chamber for the draught valve E of the pump which is pro-
vided with a stop valve F communicating with the delivery hose G the continuation
of which (not shown) is fitted with the usual spike nozzle. The pump bucket H is
operated in the usual way by means of a hand lever J connected with the tank by
a link K and a strainer L is provided through which to admit to the tank the brine
solution and exclude any foreign matter which would interfere with the action of
the pump.
By this arrangement the pump is completely submerged while any brine solution
is contained in the upper part of the tank and thus there is no possibility of taking
a combined charge of brine solution and air during the outstroke of the pump as
happens constantly with a force pump when not submerged.
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 meat salting machine consisting of a brine solution tank having a force
pump fitted therein so as to be submerged in the brine solution for the purpose of
excluding air from the pump barrel during the action of the pump substantially as
described.

Improved Device for Identifying a Bottle Containing Poison.
I GEORGE BARKER of 77 Colmore Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Consulting Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention as com-
municated to me from abroad by Joseph Hector Le Maitre 19 Willcock Street
Photographer and John Francis Le Maitre 256 Queen Street West, Drug Clerk,
both of the City of Toronto, in the County of York, in the Province of Ontario,
Canada 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 the invention is to provide means to effectually prevent the
accidental use of a bottle containing poison and it consists essentially of a device,
which when connected to a bottle will instantly sound an alarm when the said bottle
is handled, substantially as hereinafter more particularly explained.
Figure 1 is a view of the bottle having our poison alarm attached.
Everyone is aware of the terrible risks the public is subject to by the accidental
improper use of poisonous drugs contained in bottles similar to bottles holding
harmless preparations. By the adoption of our invention the risk is completely
nullified, unless the party handling the bottle is deaf.
A, represents a rubber ring made to fit the particular bottle it is intended to be
applied to. To this ring are flexibly fastened several bells B which may have
tongues to sound within themselves or may be so made that they will knock against
the bottle whenever the said bottle is moved. We find it preferable to attach these
bells to the bottle by means of a rubber ring A but of course they might be
attached otherwise care being taken that they are flexibly connected, or so connected
that the slightest movement of the bottle would cause them to sound the alarm, so
that it will be impossible for the party handling the bottle to move it without
knowing that the bottle contains poison.
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 I claim is :-
1st. One or more bells connected to a bottle in such a manner that any move-
ment of the said bottle shall cause the bells to sound an alarm, substantially as and
for the purpose specified.
2nd. An elastic ring A, fitted to the neck of a bottle having flexibly connected
to it one or more bells B, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

I, JOHN MICHAEL JONES, of 96, Castlereagh Street, Belfast, Ireland, Cabinet
Maker, 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 improved go-cart or walking chair consists of a novel and simple arrange-
ment of framing to support children whilst learning to walk.
The frame consists of four sloping or splayed uprights connected together neur
the bottom by rails or lists and at the top the uprights are fitted into a ring which
forms the support for the child to rest upon either by its hands or to lean the body
against.
The ring being made of such a size that whilst allowing freedom for the child to
move round therein it cannot fall down or through the ring and as the uprights are
splayed or sloping to give a wide base the go-cart cannot be capsized so the child is
perfectly safe when encircled by the supporting ring.
To prevent the go-cart from being too easily moved only two of the feet are
mounted upon castors the other two are left plain or with rounded ends shod with
metal or enamel so as to act as a drag.
In order that the distinctive features of this improved go-cart may be clearly
understood in addition to the foregoing description a drawing is appended in which
Fig. 1. is a top view and Fig. 2. is a side view of this improved go-cart.
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 improved go-cart as described and illustrated in which the top is formed of a
simple ring and only two of the feet are fitted with castors.

produce a bright and clear beverage of pleasing flavour and colour and a highly
nutritious nature.
It is important that the extract should be used as concentrated as is consistent
with a perfect solution so as to use as small a proportion of alcohol as possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, would have it
understood that I do not broadly claim the use of cocoa as a base or flavouring
for an aerated beverage but what I do claim is :-
An aerated beverage having a cocoa base or flavouring in perfect solution,
substantially as herein described and specified.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Glass Letters and Numerals.
I, HERMANN SELLO of the firm of Otto Grund and Company of 25 Fischer
Brücke, Berlin, Germany, Manufacturers, 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 afford greater scope and facilities for varying
the colours of and the effects produced by glass letters and numerals such as are
used for facias, signs, and other advertising or analogous purposes.
According to my invention I make the letter or numeral of clear or trans-
parent glass of suitable thickness with a face of opal or other more or less opaque
substance combined with the glass in the course of manufacture.
I then cut away
or remove the opal or other opaque substance at the parts through which I wish
the clear glass to be exposed, and I then back these parts of the glass with any
desired color or colors, the result of which is that the letter or numeral has the
appearance of being partly of the opal or other opaque substance and partly of
colored glass, and the effect is heightened when the letter thus made is attached
by cement or otherwise, to a reflector as it generally will be when in use.
A very striking effect is produced by bevelling the edges of an opal faced glass
letter and grooving or recessing the middle parts of the same, and by then applying
gilding or gold paint to the back of the glass behind the bevelling and a suitable
color, say red, behind the grooved or recessed part. I thus get a letter, composed
of a red middle part, or centre, outlined on both sides with opal, the opal being in
its turn outlined on both sides with gilt.
Figure 1 of the annexed drawings represents by way of example the letter R
made in this manner.
Figure 2 is a section on the line 1-1 and
Figure 3 a section on the line 2-2.
a a represent the opal or opaque parts being all the original face that is allowed
to remain. represents the clear or transparent body of the glass.
cc the
grooved or recessed middle parts behind which the back of the glass is colored
red or other color. d d the bevelled edges behind which the back of the glass is
gilt or otherwise colored.
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 of glass letters or numerals by first making them of clear or
transparent glass faced with an opaque substance combined with the glass in the
course of manufacture, by next cutting away or removing the opaque substance at
the parts where the clear glass is to be exposed, and by then backing these parts
of the glass with the desired color or colors, as set forth.

page_text: Dunder & Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this
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 prevent gusts of wind blowing down chimnies,
thereby causing them to smoke, and further, to take advantage of such downblasts
to improve the up-draught in the chimney.
In carrying out my invention, I attach to the top of the chimney pot, a trun-
cated cone, to the base of which I secure an upwardly projecting inclined flange.
In the gutter thus formed, I punch a few holes for the escape of any rain that may
collect in the gutter.
Above the chimney, and supported by stays, I fix a hollow conical cover,
the diameter of the base of which, is about the same as that of the base of the
truncated cone.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is an elevation of my cowl, and
Fig. 2 is a partial section.
F is the tubular or body portion of the cowl, to the top of which is attached
the truncated cone C. Attached to the base of the cone C, is an upwardly-pro-
jecting inclined flange A, and holes EE are made to allow rain to run from the
gutter formed by the parts CA.
Secured to the part C by stays, is the conical cover B, the base of which, it will
be seen, is of less diameter than the flange A.
The top D of the tubular or body portion, it will be seen, is quite open, so that
the sweep's broom may pass out of the chimney, to completely clean it.
The cover B prevents the down blasts from entering the chimney F. The
inclined flange A catches a part of the downward current, deflects it onto the
part C, which, in turn, deflects it onto the opposite side of the hollow cover B,
from which the current passes away by the annular open space, increasing, as it
goes, the up-draught in the chimney or shaft, and thereby completely obviating a
smoky chimney.
It will be obvious the cowl above described will be equally applicable to a
ventilating shaft as to a chimney.
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 :-
1. The arrangement of cowl herein shown and described, and consisting in the
combination with a tubular or body portion, of a downwardly inclined portion C,
an upwardly inclined flange A, and a hollow conical cover of the same diameter
as C, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a chimney cowl having an inclined portion extending in a downward
direction from the mouth, and a hollow cover, the combination therewith of an
upwardly projecting inclined flange, as A, as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in connection with Caps or Stoppers for Bottles, Jars,
and the like.
THOMAS SUTCLIFFE Stopper Manufacturer 4 & 6 Blundell Street Caledonian
Road London England 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 has for its object improvements connected with bottle
caps and
stoppers, which are made of tinned iron or other sheet metal and is most applicable
to the class of caps or stoppers having grooves, lugs or screw-threads.
My improvement consists in waxed or greased paper or other thin pliable
material being placed between the cap or stopper and the neck of the bottle, jar or
the like.
By way of explanation it is well known in the pickle and such trades using this
class of bottle cap, that, if the vinegar or other liquid comes into contact with metal.
corrosion takes place. In filling pickle bottles there is generally an overflow of
vinegar and if a metal cap be screwed on the neck of the bottle it comes in contact
with the vinegar and causes the metal to corrode so that after a short time the
metal cap becomes firmly fixed to the bottle neck, owing to the corrosion, and the
ottle has often to be broken to get at the contents. By my improvement however
this is entirely avoided owing to the waxed or greased material being between the
cap and the bottle neck, the vinegar or other liquid not coming in contact with the
meta! at all.
The hereinbefore mentioned waxed or greased paper or other pliable material, is
cut either in discs or strips as required, the said disc is placed on the top of the
mouth of the bottle, jar or the like, the cap is then screwed down over the disc of
waxed or greased paper or other thin pliable material, the said disc is then between
the cap and the bottle neck forming a lining inside the cap which prevents the
liquid that may be on the bottle neck touching the
cap at all. Where a strip is
used in the place of a disc, the said strip is placed round the thread on the neck of
the bottle jar or the like, the cap is screwed over this the said strip forming a lining
for the sides of the thread only.
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 :-
Firstly :—The improved method in connection with metal bottle-caps and stoppers
to prevent corrosion on the caps or stoppers as hereinbefore described.
: -
Secondly A thin pliable inaterial placed between a metal bottle-cap or stopp r
and the bottle neck forming a lining for the said bottle-cap or stopper.

A Self Venting Tap.
WILLIAM ALFRED SWAIN Sowerby Arms Lilley near Luton, Beds. Licensed
Victualler, 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 tap (Fig. 1 in drawing) is similar in most respects to the ordinary tap in
use, the difference being that it possesses an airway B, through plug A and barrel,
in addition to the liquor way, one end being open, the other fitted with union D,
Fig. 2. for connecting either rubber or metal tubing with union D on vent peg
Fig. 4. Hence when the tap is turned on a free current of air runs from the tap,
.hrough airway B, to vent peg Fig. 4, at top of barrel, thus forming a perfect and
.latural vent. When tap is turned off vent at once ceases, and becomes perfectly
airtight. The tap is specially adapted, to the beer, wine & spirit trades, or can
be used for any other liquor that requires to be kept perfectly airtight when not
on draught. The taps can be made in any size or shape to suit the trade.
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 additional air passage through plug & barrel of tap from which, by means
of tube, air can be supplied to vent at top of cask.

An Improvement in Lavatory Basins.
Year: 1891

An Improvement in Lavatory Basins.
I, WALTER BROWN HARVEY DRAYSON, of 2 Newgate Street, in the City of
London, Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being had to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to
say :-
Lavatory basins are frequently constructed with a flushing rim round the internal
top edge in order to secure that the entering water shall wash over the whole
internal surface for the purpose of removing therefrom any soap-suds or other dirt
that may be adhering thereto from the previous use of the basin. Lavatory basins
not furnished with flushing rims are also frequently constructed in one piece with
the slab forming the table or other support by which they are carried; but, so far
as I am aware, lavatory basins furnished with flushing rims have never been con-
structed in one piece with their carrying slabs. Now, my improvement consists in
constructing the basin, the flushing rim, and the slab, all in one piece, whereby
considerable economy is effected in the manufacture, and the inconvenience of
separate pieces and the trouble of putting them together when fixing are
avoided.
In the drawings
Figure 1 is a section taken on line X X of Figure 2 of a lavatory basin
constructed in accordance with my invention, and Figure 2 a plan of same.
A is the basin, B the flushing rim and C the slab which may be formed as
usual with a skirting C a bead or lip C to prevent slopping over, and one or
more soap dishes C³. E is the clean water inlet and F the waste outlet.
All these parts are moulded or otherwise made in one piece of material as shown,
and are preferably composed of earthenware, but they may be in cast iron or any
other suitable material.
The example shown is a basin adapted to fit into the corner of a room; but
it is obvious that the invention may be applied to other forms and arrangements
and that more than one basin may be formed in one slab.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Constructing a lavatory basin with its flushing rim and slab in one piece of
material substantially as hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the drawings.
