A Method of Preserving Milk and Cream.
I, JANE JARDINE BROADFOOT, Retired Farmer, presently residing in Green-
wall Street, Stranraer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a method of preserving milk and cream.
The best of new milk is required and to be made the day it is taken from
the cow.
Put into a clean pan, and boil for half an hour, down to the half of
the original bulk of the milk. After the milk has been boiled for the half hour,
let it cool and remain cold for four hours. Then put in one pound of sugar
to two gills of milk. Then boil for three minutes. Good cane sugar is required.
After this process, the milk will keep for two or three months--even in hot
weather. A pound of sugar and four gills of milk will last one person for two
meals per day for putting into tea one week. That is about half the price of
condensed milk.
There are thus no deleterious chemicals used in my said method.
In the case of cream, no half hour's preliminary boiling is required. Only
the three minutes' boiling with the sugar. Half an hour's boiling of cream
would spoil it.

Improved Apparatus for Raising and Sterilizing Liquids.
I, JOHN FLOCKHART, of 592, Gallowgate Street, in the City of Glasgow, 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:―
This invention relates to apparatus for raising and sterilizing liquids and the
improvement consists mainly in providing means whereby the vibration on the
apparatus is minimised.
The accompanying drawings show the raising and sterilizing apparatus in
sectional elevation.
In carrying out the invention a pipe A is led from a boiler or other steam
generator and arranged in loop shape, the horizontal portion of the loop being
formed by an ejector or jetometer B having a branch connected to a lifting pipe C
which dips into the fluid to be raised, the steam passing through the jetometer
effecting the raising of the fluid and its partial sterilizing. A branch pipe 1)
is taken from the pipe A for the purpose of raising the temperature of the liquid
to the degree necessary for complete sterilization, this pipe D being taken from
near the junction of the pipe A, on the boiler, side with the jetometer B. The
pipe D is directed to enter the second vertical leg A¹ of the loop at such an angle
that the direction of the steam from the branch pipe D at the point of entrance
into the leg A¹ shall be approximately parallel to the direction of the steam in
said leg, and thus avoid the vibration consequent upon joining these pipes at right
angles to each other, the vibration being further diminished by providing an
enlarged chamber E at the point of junction of the second leg A¹ of the loop and
the branch pipe D.
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: —
Improved apparatus for raising and sterilizing liquids, the parts of said appa-
ratus being constructed, combined, and arranged to operate substantially as
described.

Year: 1899

page_text: Improvements in Watch Dials.
I, HENRI SANDOZ, of Tavannes, Canton of Berne, Switzerland, 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:-
It is well known how difficult it is to obtain enamel dials perfectly smooth and
of which the feet for setting it, the center hole and eventually that of the small
seconds hand correspond always very strictly. These conditions of exactitude are
however absolutely necessary in the modern watch manufacture which is based
upon the absolute interchangeability of its different organs. The enamel dial
cannot fill those necessary conditions since it is almost always put out of shape
by its being passed to the fire and through the high temperature of the enamelling
process.
The dial which I have invented has not all the disadvantages of the enamel one;'
it is made with a disc taken out of any metal, zinc, nickel, copper, tinned iron, on
which the hours, figures, ornaments or any other inscriptions are printed either
directly on the metal, or on a coat of varnish first laid on that metal. That
printing may be done in any suitable way, as for example by means of a type- or
lithographic press, in one or several colours.
With this system, it is evident that dials may be obtained in large quantities,
all exactly alike if the tools used in the manufacture of the discs, with their
holes, feet and eventually edges, are of great precision, and no passing to the fire
will alter the forms or dimensions of dials made in that way. Besides, the cost
of them is very much less than that of enamel dials, and their solidity much
greater.
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 watch dial formed of a metal disc suitably shaped, on which, the hours,
figures, or any other inscriptions or ornaments are printed by any process what-
ever.
2. In the above claimed dial:
a. The printing of the hours, figures, inscriptions or ornaments being made
directly on the metal of the dial.
b. The printing of the hours, figures, inscriptions ornaments being made
on a coat of varnish of any colour, laid on the metal of the dial."

COMPLETE SPECTIVATION,
Improvements in Toy Houses.
I, BERNHARD KARL EMIL SCHEER, Master Tinman, of Burgstadt, Saxony, in
the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention for improvements in toy houses relates to small sheet metal
houses used as toys and for similar purposes, and has for its object to provide
means for readily putting the houses together entirely as may be wished, or
required, or taking them apart again, which is of considerable advantage in
relation to transport and packing.
The form and arrangement of the invention will be better understood with
the assistance of the accompanying drawing, in which,
Fig. 1 is a front view of a small sheet metal house constructed according to
this invention, a portion of the roof being removed.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section and
Figs. 3 and 4 horizontal sections of the small house illustrated in Fig. 1.
Figs. 5 and 6 are end elevation and longitudinal section respectively of a toy
house with different form of roof.
The essential feature of the invention consists in the sheet metal parts b and d
(which serve for constructing the small houses) being bent on the suitable meet-
ing edges in such a manner as to form tongues and grooves a by means of which
the joining of the several parts of the house is effected (see Figs. 2, 4 and 6).
For the purpose of keeping the parts firmly together, the vertical edges of
the sheet metal pieces bare doubly or trebly bent (see Fig. 2) whilst the oblique
edges, on which the roof d rests are bent to form a single tongue, over which
the grooved parts formed by the double bending are pushed (see Figs. 4 and 6).
The characteristic feature of the invention consists in that the several parts of
the small houses are detachably connected with one another by means of the
tongue and groove like bends formed on the contact edges, the external form of
the house, and its general fitting up, being variable, as desired, according to the
particular purpose in view.
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 improved means of connecting the parts forming small sheet metal houses,
5 used as toys, and for similar purposes, consisting in forming tongue-and-groove
like bends a on the meeting edges of the sheet metal parts, with which the

page_text: walls as well as the roof d are constructed, so that the small houses are put
together by a tongue-and-groove joining of the parts, and can be easily taken to
pieces again.

Improvements in Tools for Stamping Biscuits.
I, CARL PECHER, of 36, Bruchstrasse, Detmold, Germany. 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:-
The biscuit stamping tools or cutting moulds hitherto used were provided with
exchangeable stamp, which arrangement was subject to the drawback that if
another inscription or a change of name or of the commercial designation was
required, new stamps had to be provided.
The object of the present invention is to remedy this defect: the stamp a of
the biscuit stamping tool or cutting mould as hitherto in use being provided with
exchangeable type so that advertisements, names of dealers, texts and inscrip-
tions in great variety, and the like, can be set up in type in one stamp, thus
dispensing with the necessity of providing separate stamps. Thus is it rendered
possible, at the same time, to stamp on the biscuits the name of the customer for
whom they are made, even in the case of small orders.
The annexed drawing shows such a biscuit stamping tool with exchangeable
type,
Fig. 1 being a section through A-B in Fig. 3,
Fig. 2 a vertical section, C-D, through the typeholder, and
Fig. 3 a plan corresponding to Fig. 1.
As will be seen therefrom, the stamp or type-holder is provided with a dove-
tail groove e running across it, and into which the type b, provided with suitably
shaped feet, is inserted and fixed in a known manner, by means of clamping
pieces d and screws f, so as to be held immovably in the desired position.
In this way the use of separate stamps is dispensed with and advertisements,
texts and other inscriptions can be stamped into the biscuit in the operation of
cutting or stamping out.
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: -
Biscuit stamping tools or cutting moulds, characterised by exchangeable type
which can be inserted, with its dovetail-shaped feet a, into similarly shaped
grooves c in the stamp or type-holder a and fixed immovably in the desired
position, in a known manner, by means of clamping pieces and screws, for the
purpose of being enabled to set up in type, in one and the same stamp, a variety
of advertisements, names of dealers, texts and other inscriptions, thus dispensing
with the necessity of providing separate stamps as hitherto.

Improvements in Apparatus for Freeing or Cleaning Filamentous
Substances from Vegetable Impurities.
I, JULES DÉSIRÉ MOREL, of 160, Rue Pellart, Roubaix, in the Republic of
France, 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 the manufacture of the cylinders described in the Specification of my Patent
No. 29584 of the 23rd December 1896, for the separation of vegetable fibres and
impurities such as thistles from animal fibres such as wool, I employ bands of
steel or other suitable substance, the slits in which are sufficiently narrow in
order that, whilst allowing the passage of the woollen fibres, the impurities are
left upon the surface of the cylinder without being torn.
In order to attain this end, the surface of the cylinder should be perfectly
smooth, and the band should not present any projecting point.
In the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 illustrates a steel band of the kind above referred to, prior to being
wound upon the cylinder and
Figure 2 is a similar view showing a portion of a steel band as it will appear
when wound upon the cylinder. When the band is straight as shown in Figure 1
the points c and d of the slits f are separated by a greater interval than the
points a and b in order to correspond with the circumference of the cylinder upon
which the band is intended to be wound, because, after the necessary curvature
of the band has been effected, the walls - and b-d of the band should be
parallel in order to avoid completely the formation of sharp points, as shewn in
Figure 2.
These slits should be sufficiently narrow to permit of the lodgment of the
woollen fibres only, to the exclusion of the vegetable impurities, and in such a
manner that the impurities are not caught and fixed upon the points a and b.
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 cylinders for freeing or cleaning filamentous substances
from impurities, obtained by winding bands of steel or other suitable material
upon cylinders, the narrow slits in such bands being wider towards their base
before being wound upon the cylinder, in order that when they are wound upon
the said cylinder the apertures left may present parallel faces, thus avoiding
sharp points calculated to tear the thistles or other impurities.

the County of Lancaster, 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: —
This invention relates to an improvement applicable to portable ladders of all
kinds the principal object of which is to prevent the liability of the foot of the
ladder which rests upon the ground from slipping which is a frequent cause of
accident to persons using such ladders and consists principally of a metal shoe
fitted to the lower end of each side rail and provided with an india rubber pad
which rests upon the ground and bears the weight of the ladder, which not only
effectually prevents it from slipping but also prevents the feet of the ladder from
injuring carpets or polished floors when used in the house.
The manner in which my said invention is to be performed, or carried into
practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the sheet of drawings
hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1 on the drawing is an elevation Fig. 2 an edge view and Fig. 3 a plan
view of the metal shoe a one of which is to be attached to the foot of each side
rail of the ladder and secured thereto by screws passing through the holes b.
Figs. 4 and 5 are an elevation and underneath plan view of one of the india
rubber parts c, and Fig. 6 is a view of the pad and shoe combined and applied
to the lower end of the side rail d of a ladder.
It will be seen on referring to Figs. 4 and 5 that the india rubber pad c is made
with a projecting flange at the top, and when the part c is pushed through
the hole in the bottom of the metal shoe a (see Fig. 3) this flange rests upon
the bottom part of the shoe and holds the pad firmly in position, and when the
shoe is applied to the side rail d of the ladder (as shown at Fig. 6) the lower part
of the ladder rests upon the flange cand the pad cannot possibly get out of place.
It will be evident that the pad c need not necessarily be made of india rubber,
but may be made of any other suitable substance or composition possessing the
requisite yielding and non-slipping qualities.
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 combination of a metal shoe and pad of india rubber or other soft com-
pressible substance to be applied to the lower end of the side rails of a ladder
to prevent slipping substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by
the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Ring Spinning Frames.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
It is well known that the yarn spun on a ring frame must be wound upon a
bobbin the diameter of which is relatively large.
Many attempts have been made to spin on the bars spindle or on thin paper
tubes thus dispensing with the use of the bobbin, so as to obtain the greatest
amount of yarn in the smallest possible space, as in the mule cop.
The communicator has solved the problem of spinning on the bare spindle by
altering the usual form of ring as shown in section in the accompanying drawing,
in which a is the new form of ring made according to this invention, e is the
traveller which is pulled around the ring by the thread, when winding itself
on the spindle, is the ring plate.
The traveller c does not materially differ from those heretofore in use, the
same having only its ends d d somewhat rounded, when coarse counts have to
be spun, instead of having flat-shaped ends as is uually the case.
But the object of the present invention is obtained by the arrangement of
the flange e of the ring mouth along which the traveller c is pulled. Said flange e
is turned inwards at an angle of 90° with respect to the usual arrangement, the
same having its flat face vertical instead of horizontal so as to cause the ends d d
of the traveller c to move along a vertical cylindrical surface, instead of moving
in two concentric circles situated in the same plane.
This alteration of the form of the ring a is sufficient to obtain the result as
proved by experience. The improvement can therefore be applied to existing
frames by simply changing the rings, i.e., at a very small expense.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
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:-
A ring for ring spinning frames, in which the ring flange, along which the
traveller is pulled, has a vertical position, being turned inwards at an angle of
90° with respect to the usual arrangement in which said flange is situated hori-
zontally.

An Improvement in Incandescence Oil Burners.
I, WALTER TRESLOVE ELLIS, of 78, York Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Lieutenant-Colonel, retired, 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:―
Oil lamps have been proposed and made with burners intended to give such
directions to the air and to the oil vapours generated by the heat that the flame
shall be of the non luminous but intensely hot character suited for heating a
refractory mantle to brilliant incandescence.
The present invention relates to a burner for this purpose constructed as shewn
in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the burner and Fig. 2 is a plan of the deflecting
disc.
The wick a is led up in the usual way between the outer wick tube 6 and the
inner tube c to the top of the tubes and it may be a very little height above them.
A cylinder d having oblique lateral openings and a perforated deflecting disc e
inserted in the inner wick tube c as far as is permitted by an inwardly projecting
shoulder f. The disc e is perforated not only immediately over the cylinder, as
Bome such discs have been hitherto, but it has also a circular row of perforations
through the flange or part of it which projects beyond the cylinder d.
There are two air cones y and h and gallery i with the air passages all of known
construction.
The oil vapour generated at the top of the wick becomes mingled with air sup-
plied outside the wick and with air which ascends inside, and issues by the
oblique lateral openings and middle perforations of the cylinder d, and receives
additional air rising between the cones and h. The currents of air and vapour
and of their mixture are directed in such manner by the several air passages and
also by the outer perforations of the disc e that a flame of intense heat is produced
suitable for heating a refractory mantle to brilliant incandescence.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
In an incandescence oil burner in which a deflecting disc surmounts a central
cylinder, having oblique lateral openings, the construction of that disc with per-
forations through its flange substantially as described.

An Improved Type Case.
I, JOSEF BAUMGARTNER, of Lorrach, in Baden, in the Empire of Germany,
Printer, 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:-
1
The invention forming the subject of the present application has reference to
a type case with dirt trap, its object being to collect automatically, in a special
receptacle, the dirt adhering to the type.
The invention is represented in the annexed drawing,
Fig. 1 being a view of the case from above.
Fig. 2 is a section at the line A-B of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 a section at line C-D of Fig. 2.
According to this invention the wooden bottom hitherto customary for the
type compartments, is replaced by the wire netting d, the mesh of which is
just close enough to prevent the distributed type falling through.
The bottom proper 6 of the case is arranged below this netting at a distance
of about 15 m/m.; and the intermediate space thus formed serves for receiving
a sliding tray e made of sheet zinc (to which is attached strips h), which fills the
whole space and is closed in front, and may be pushed in through the opening
left in front, by means of handles f, and kept in position by means of catches g.
In distributing, and whilst the case is in use, the dust and dirt adhering loosely
to the type drops off and into the tray through the meshes of the wire netting. The
compartments thus always remain clean, and offer a guarantee for cleanliness
of the type, whereby work is expedited and health of the compositors is
protected.
As, during use, the case is in a position sloping, towards the front, the bottom
of tray e,
provided with a few strips h running parallel with the front, whereby
the dirt from all the compartments is prevented from collecting at the front.
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:-
1. A type case, in which the bottom of the compartments consists of wire or
metal mesh work, through the meshes of which the dust and dirt from the type
falls; and a tray disposed underneath same; substantially as set forth.
2. The type case having parts constructed and arranged particularly as shown
in, and set forth with reference to the drawings.
