Alimentary and other Substances.
I, FREDERICK MONTAGUE EDWARD PIZEY, of No. 48, Amott Road, East Dulwich,
in the county of Surrey, schoolmaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved metallic receptacle, or metallic top and cover
for a receptacle, for holding alimentary and other substances.
propose to draw up the top for the receptacle, so as to form one or more rims or
flanges; and to draw up the cover with one or more corresponding rims or flanges;
and to form a screw or series of screws or parts of screws on the rim or flange or one
of the rims or flanges of the cover, and a corresponding screw or series of screws or
parts of screws on the rim or flange or one of the rims or flanges of the top, or on
the outside of the receptacle; or I may use a series of studs on the top or outside of
the receptacle, and a corresponding series of slots connected with parts of screws on
the cover, or the studs could be formed on the cover, and the slots and parts of screws
on the top or outside of the receptacle. When the cover is screwed on the receptacle,
a secure joint is formed on the rim or flange or rims or flanges.
For closing or opening the receptacle, I form one or more projections on, or
recesses in, the cover; or I fix a metal strap across same, for the reception of any
suitable article to be used as a lever; or I may use a milled edge on the cover.
I may also draw up the top and body of a receptacle in one piece, the bottom being
fixed on; or I may draw up the top and body and bottom of a receptacle in one
piece. In all cases the top and cover of each receptacle would be made as previously
described, one or other of the before-mentioned methods for obtaining a secure joint,
and for closing or opening, being employed.

page_text: J, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
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:-
My invention relates to playing cards, and consists in providing them with
smooth faces, but with roughened backs, in order to produce greater friction between
the fingers and the backs of the cards when dealing.
The difficulty in dealing ordinary playing cards of a good quality is great, when
the hands of the dealer are not moist, because of the smoothness of the backs, as
is well known; but when the cards are rougher, as in ordinary cards of an inferior
quality, the friction between the cards, due to the roughness of the back of one
and the face of the next is so great as to more than counterbalance any advantage
of the greater friction between the fingers and the backs of the cards.
In my improved playing cards the backs alone are rough, while the faces are
smoothly calendered; as illustrated by the drawing, which is a cross section of a
card, drawn to an enlarged scale in order the better to illustrate my invention.
The face a is, as usual in playing cards, of good quality, but the back bis
roughened, as indicated in the drawing.
It will be obvious that this roughening may be produced in a variety of ways,
well known to workers in paper; such as grinding or filing to produce a rough
surface, grooving with fine grooves, or embossing. Ordinarily the roughening is
done before the sheet from which the cards are made is printed or cut up into
cards; but it may, of course, be done upon the backs of finished cards.
The roughening may form an ornamental pattern, instead of extending over the
entire surface of the back.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :---
The improved playing cards above described, having their faces smooth and their
backs roughened, as set forth.

I THORSTEN NORDENFELT of 53 Parliament Street in the City of Westminster
Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It has been found that by the addition to iron and steel when in a melted state of a
minute quantity of aluminium that the metal is rendered very fluid and that when
poured into suitable moulds it produces very fine castings.
Now I have found that a like result may be obtained by the use in like manner of
sodium or potassium. These metals have a strong affinity for oxygen and they remove
from the iron or steel any of this element which it may contain.
Also as both metals are less costly than aluminium a considerable saving is obtained.
The sodium or potassium should be forced beneath the surface of the melted iron or
steel by means of a rod, it is immediately taken up and then by agitation a complete
mixture is effected. The metal is then immediately poured into the moulds.

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 further improvements in the repeating pianoforte action
for which Jean Schwander and Joseph Herrburger obtained Letters Patent
No 4,482 dated 28th November 1877.
In this action the check movement was incomplete and its regulation difficult.
I will now describe my improvements in the said action by reference to the
accompanying drawing in which figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevation shewing a
pianoforte action constructed according to my present improvements; figure 2 is
a vertical sectional elevation shewing a modification of the same. Similar letters
in all the figures represent similar parts.
As shown in figure 1 my improved check consists of a piece A which can receive
the end of the prolonged hammer butt suspended at the end of a wire A' curved
over to the left hand side and fixed in a piece B serving as a support for the same.
This piece B which can be subjected to a rotary motion upon the fixed axis or
spindle B¹ arranged upon the bridge or bar X carries a flat spring R the end of
which is situated below the jack. The said piece B is provided with a small
bar A of wood or of other suitable material the end of which is held by a screw C,
provided with a block which serves to rotate the piece B upon the axis or
spindle B¹ and consequently to bring the check as required nearer to or farther
from the prolonged butt of the hammer. The check wire A¹ is flattened where
curved and it is at this curved part that flexion takes place this being a special
feature of this improved arrangement of check.
In figure 2 an arrangement is shewn in which the piece B is fixed; the
wire A, A, of the check passing across the support B in order to reach the
screw C.
The two principal features of this improved action are as follows:-firstly the
arrangement of the centre of rotation of the check at the left hand side of the
hammer at the end of the bridge or bar and near the forked portion of the latter.―
This arrangement allows of giving the necessary length to the check wire;
secondly, the arrangement of the piece B, which while serving as a support to the
check wire allows of regulating the check by means of the screw C.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is,―
1. The arrangement of the check fixed at the end of a curved wire the other
end of which is fixed in a support having its fulcrum upon the bridge or bar
substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of the check supported as described, with a bar and a
regulating screw allowing its position to be varied relatively to the butt of the
hammer substantially as set forth.

page_text: I JOSEPH LÉVEILLÉ of 92, St Christophe St, city of Montreal, Province of
Quebec, Dominion of Canada, Superintendent of Pilots for the River St Lawrence
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 a second or supplementary rudder attached to the ships
and having for its principal object to facilitate the rapidity of the ships' evolutions.
The drawing hereto annexed shows, in elevation, a portion of the stern of a ship,
with my second helm attached to it.
Referring to the drawing A is the stern of a ship, B the ordinary rudder which
is attached as usual to the outside of the vessel; C is the helix which is also
placed as usual, so that so far there is nothing differing from all ships now made.
However as may be seen on referring to the drawing my second rudder D which
is the object of my invention, is placed in an aperture E which is left in the stern
of the ship for that purpose and which is also close to the ordinary rudder B.
This second rudder D is moved by the post F which is worked by the ordinary
gearing used for such purposes; moreover the rudder D can be worked inde-
pendently by having its own set of chains and wheel, or jointly by connection
with the rudder B; this being of great advantage in the case of the rudder B being
disabled, for then as the rudder Ď can be worked independently of rudder B, the
ship could yet be under control and thus my invention be of great service in storms
if the rudder B should be lost. I desire to call attention to the fact, that my
additional rudder D being always under the level of the water and being moreover
encased in or framed into the aperture E it is well protected against accidents, such
as being struck by floating obstacles.
Moreover as the two rudders B and D can be moved jointly whenever a quick.
evolution would be necessary this would be found of great advantage, as then the
total force tending to make the vessel change its direction is composed of the force
applied to the rudder B added to that applied to the rudder D, and as the latter
can be made a very important factor in the total force, it then becomes of great
assistance to the efficiency of the rudder B.
As the rudder post F is most necessarily placed in the same vertical plane as the
shaft G of the helix, therefore it is necessary to introduce the eye H in the post F,

page_text: low cost.
6. It puts the vessel more fully under control.
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:
In a ship's stern A; the second or additional rudder D having a post F provided
with an eye H, framed in the aperture E, whereby additional force is added to the
steering device of the ship, and whereby the said ship will be more under control
than heretofore; the whole in combination with the ordinary rudder B and ship
stern A; as above described and for the purposes set forth.

I JAMES YATE JOHNSON of 47 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this Invention which has been
communicated to me from abroad by Dr F. von Heyden, Nachfolger, of Radebeul
near Dresden, Saxony in the German Empire Chemist 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 process of manufacturing salicylic
acid and the substitution compounds and homologues thereof described in the
Specification to former Letters Patent N° 10167 dated July 15th 1884.
According to the directions given in that Specification the antoclave or vessel
containing the dried phenolates of the alkalies and earthy alkalies is kept well
cooled whilst the contents are subjected to the action of carbonic acid under
pressure the object of this cooling being to enable the salt of the phenyl carbonic
ether to be formed at ordinary or atmospheric temperature which salt is afterwards
converted into neutral or normal salicylic salt with exposure to a temperature of
from about 120° to 140° Centigrade.
It has now been discovered that the process of manufacture can be simplified by
combining these two stages of the process in one and converting the salt of the
phenyl carbonic ether directly into salicylic acid while in the nascent condition.
For this purpose the carbonic acid under pressure in place of being introduced into
the vessel in which the materials are kept at a low or atmospheric temperature is
caused to act on the materials whilst they are maintained at a temperature of from
about 120° to 145° Centigrade. Special care must be taken at the same time not
to allow the heat to greatly exceed these limits otherwise phenol would be separated
and the process would have to be completed as described in the Specification of
Dr Kolbe's Invention forming the subject of Letters Patent dated Febry 17th 1874
No 595 which the present improvements are intended to obviate. Corresponding
results are obtained by the treatment of the homologues and substitution compounds
of phenol

TELFORD CLARENCE BATCHELOR of 8 Baron's Court, West Kensington, Middlesex,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 this invention is to construct wire ropes strands and cables by
arranging or placing wires of any desired form at a tangent to the axis or centre
of said rope, strand or cable.
Our invention will be understood by the representation of examples shown on
the annexed drawings, Figure 1 of which shows a section of a strand with the
wires A, A, arranged in tangential order around a central wire or core B.
Figure 2 shows a series of said strands arranged round a hempen core C forming
a rope.
Figure 3 indicates a series of our tangentially placed wires as a covering or
coating to the rope or cable. The wires forming the rope in this view are of
circular form and enclosing the hempen core C the intervening spaces between the
rope sections and the tangentially placed wires being also filled with hemp.
Figure 4 represents another sectional form of strand, rope or cable in which a
series of our tangentially placed wires are arranged as coverings to the outer series
of wires serving as the core to the same. The series of tangentially placed wires
next to the core have their meeting or abutting faces arranged in one direction
while those of the next outer coating are arranged in the opposite direction, the
exterior series of tangentially placed wires Figure 5 being much longer on their
meeting faces than the inner ones.
The above Figures are only given as examples of our invention and are capable
of many variations to suit the particular purpose to which the strand, rope, or
cable is intended.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
The construction of wire ropes, strands, and cables by wire placed tangentially
as described and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings,

ROBERT ROGER and HENRY THOMAS ROBSON, both of West Row, Stockton-on-Tees
in the County of Durham, Engineers do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Our invention has reference to Reducing Valves so arranged that when Steam or
other fluids pass from A to B (see accompanying drawing) the pressure will be
diminished by the reducing Valve in the usual way, but as it is desirable at times
to pass steam from B to A we introduce a non-return Valve C, which will allow this
to be done.
It will be seen that when the pressure in A is greater than that in B, the non-return
Valve will close and the steam must pass through the Reducing Valve. Again
when the pressure in 13 is greater than that in A the non-return Valve C will open
and allow steam to pass through should the reducing Valve close.

I, ALBERT HENRY MEGSON of 1 Fountain Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Stationer, 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 :—
As "traveller's order" memorandum, account, note, sketching and other books of a
like description are at present usually bound or constructed, the leaves or sheets of
paper do not naturally lie flat but bulge up near the binding when the book is opened
and especially when the book is doubled with the front cover against the back cover,
as is often done for greater convenience when making an entry or sketch in the book.
This bulging up of the paper is highly inconvenient and the source of much annoyance
to the users.
It is the object of this Invention to so bind or construct books that upon
opening them the leaves will have no tendency to bulge upward as at present but will
lie flat in a solid and compact form very suitable for writing or sketching upon.
These Improvements consist in making or providing a joint in the front cover or
board of the book, parallel with the book back and at a distance from the back edge of
the cover or board about equal to or a little greater than the total thickness of the
book. The joint may be made of leather, cloth, vellum, parchment, paper or other
suitable material or with thread or metallic hinges either before during or after
binding and they may be ornamented covered or otherwise treated according to the
character of the book.
In books constructed according to these Improvements the front board or cover
consists of two parts joined together by the hinge as described. In using the book,
the inner part of the cover folds against the back when the outer part may be folded
against the back board or cover and as many leaves or sheets as lie between the front

page_text: cover and the desired page or sheet may be folded back therewith without straining
the binding or exerting any pull on the remaining leaves or sheets which consequently
retain their position, and lie flat and close upon each other. It follows from the
absence of strain, that books having my Improvements are more durable than those
bound in the usual manner.
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 :-
In traveller's order, memorandum, account, note, sketching and other books of
similar description; hinged or jointed front covers or boards, substantially as and for
the purpose hereinbefore described.

page_text: I, ALEXANDER SPENCER Engineer of 77 Cannon Street in the City of London
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:-
Whereas in door stops now in use patented by W. Cross N° 2876 1868 it has
been found that after some time the rubber stop or cushion works loose and can be
extracted easily from the brass or metal holder without unscrewing such holders
from the door.
The object of this invention is to prevent the evil above described.
To do this I shape the base of the metal or brass holder in such a nanner that
when the screws that fasten the holder down, are tightened the base of the India
Rubber cushion or stop is forced into the shape of a collar thereby preventing the
possibility of pulling the rubber stop or cushion out.
I propose also if preferred to mould the India Rubber with the collar already on
instead of forcing it into the required shape.
To make my invention better understood
drawings.
append herewith a sheet of
Fig. 1 shews the brass or metal holder A with the grooves on the inside to assist
to hold the rubber stop or cushion and with recess B for containing the collar of
the India Rubber stop or cushion.
Fig. 2 shews the India Rubber stop or cushion C before being pressed into the
metal or brass holder A.
Fig. 3 shews the brass or metal holder A with the India Rubber stop or cushion C
in position shewing collar D.
Fig. 4 shews the India Rubber stop or cushion C moulded with collar D
already on,
