page_text: I,, 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 my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a stove for burning a fuel composed of cork and
charcoal which burns from the top downward. For this reason air is admitted to
the stove on about a level with the fuel pot or pan. The stove is designed more
especially for feet warming or warming street cars and small compartments.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents in perspective a stove which embodies my invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the fuel pan removed from the surrounding
case.
Figure 5 shews an inclined top to a case, which may be employed in double
seated carriages.
A represents the sides, B the ends, C the cover, and L the bottom of the exterior
1ortion of the stove or heater, all of which can be made of sheet metal. In the
cover are formed a series of openings for the escape of heat from the fuel in the pan
or pot G inside.
This pan or pot does not come to the top of the exterior case, but sufficient
space is allowed for making the draught openings a a a, in the exterior case, at a
point about on a line with the top of the pan G in order that the air may be
admitted at the top of the burning fuel.
The form of the openings is iminaterial it being only necessary that they are in
the proper place.
When the stove is used for foot warming, wood or like material is secured to the
cover to keep the feet from the metal. The cover C may be hinged to the case or
not, and the pan may have a bale H for the convenience of handling it.

page_text: It is evident that the form of the parts may be changed and the principle of
burning fuel from the top be retained, the principal feature being an enclosure
supporting a fuel pan or pot with air admitted to the top thereof.
•
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 :-
A stove or portable heater, consisting of an exterior case in combination with a
fuel-pan within it, a space being left between the top of the pan and the cover C,
draught openings formed in the case above the pan, and openings in the cover C as
specified.

I FRANK VORNBERGER of 13 St. Andrew Street, Liverpool, Lancashire String
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 object of this invention is to provide a cheaper, better, stronger, and more
durable description of the article popularly known as "cat gut" for the various
uses to which that article is applied than has been manufactured hitherto. In.
carrying my invention into practice, I employ a gut of an ox, or beef animal, and
a gut of a sheep which several kinds of animal gut I split longitudinally into
halves in the ordinary manner. I reject the fat which adheres to the lower half as
refuse. I utilize both halves for the purposes of my invention. Having cleansed
the aforesaid several kinds of animal gut with cold water I divide or split the
halves thereof respectively into as many strands as may be desired for the manu-
facture of the required string, band, or belt. I then plunge the said several
strands in a bath of Pearl Ash Water for from four to six days after which time
they are taken out and a convenient number of strands of each description of the
hereinbefore mentioned gut is partially spun or twisted together. The strands so
partially spun or twisted together are next dipped into a bath of "Condy's Fluid,"
and afterwards hung up to dry in an ordinary chamber or room of 65° to 70°
temperature. When dry the said strands are placed in a wooden box and sub-
jected to sulphur fumes for twenty four hours at the end of which time the process
of spinning or twisting them together to the requisite extent is completed. The
strings, bands, or belts, are next plunged in a solution of ising-glass, and white-
wine-vinegar of convenient strength which solution imparts to them the requisite
stiffening. After the stiffening process the said strings bands and belts are again
dried in the manner hereinbefore mentioned, and subsequently smoothened with
emery cloth, and lastly finished off with gum-arabic and oil,

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

page_text: I, ALEXANDER MELVILLE CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Wm. Clark, of
53, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention (a communication to mo
from abroad by Bernard Lenglet, of Amiens, France Blacklead Manufacturer) and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to the manufacture of a new product for lubricating all
kinds of machines employed in the manufacture of white fabrics such as tulle,
lace-curtains &c. Hitherto the materials employed for lubricating machines of
this kind have consisted of black-lead or plumbago which, being black or of a very
dark color, are very liable to stain or damage the materials in course of manu-
facture. The object of the present Invention is to obviate the above objection,
and it consists in substituting for the above, a dry white powder consisting of
kaolin or talc which is soft to the touch to which is added a greasy or oily matter
for imparting to the powder the lubricating properties required.
"
تو
I have found that by macerating tale or kaolin, previously heated or not,
with petroleum or petroline, beeswax, mineral wax known as Blanc de neige
paraffine, spermaceti, etc; and then drying either by heat or naturally, until the
material is almost perfectly dry, and by afterwards re-grinding, a very fine powder
is obtained which is not liable to form into lumps, and may be used for the same
purposes as blacklead without the disadvantage which the latter possesses of being
wafted about by the air. The proportions of the materials would be about ten
grammes of Spermaceti to one hundred and forty grammes of Tale. In order to
distinguish this new product from other natural white powders, which might be
used without, however, producing the same effect, it is simply necessary to place it
upon a hot plate when it will give forth abundant fumes, and it will also burn,
whereas natural mineral products are refractory.

page_text: "
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
The manufacture of a white powder for the dry lubrication of machinery in the
manner of powders having a base of black lead heretofore used for the purpose,
the said new product consisting of powdered tale or kaolin previously heated or
not, in admixture with any suitable greasy or oily body for imparting to the
powder the desired lubricating properties, as herein before described, and for the
purpose specified.
Applicable also for other Purposes.

I THOMAS TWYNAM of 54 Minford Gardens, West Kensington Park in the
County of Middlesex, Metallurgical Chemist 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 and connected with the production of
highly refractory furnace linings and converter bottoms or plugs and of moulds
for steel and other castings by the use of chrome iron ore. It is found that when
chrome iron ore ground up with water is used for furnace linings and the like it
very readily crumbles away, and the same thing happens, when tar or oil or
carbonaceous matter is mixed as a "bind" with the ground chrome ore, the ore
readily crumbling away as soon as the carbon has been burnt out by the action of
the heat.
To remedy this defect I mix with the finely ground but not too silicious chrome
ore about five per cent of its weight of the chromate or bichromate of soda or
potash or of the chromate or bichromate of an alkaline earth such as the chromate
or bichromate of lime or magnesia.
I always prefer to first dissolve the chromate or bichromate to be used, in just
sufficient water as is required to moisten the ground chrome ore, mix the solution
well up with the ore and then use it direct for the manufacture of refractory bricks
or blocks for furnace linings or for the manufacture of plugs or bottoms for use in
Bessemer converters, the bricks or plugs being fired at about the ordinary heat
before being used in the furnace or vessel, or I form the lining of the plastic mass
in situ, ramming it round suitable moulds placed in the furnace or converter.
I also employ the mixture as a material for lining the moulds used in the
manufacture of steel or other castings.

page_text: I do not broadly claim the use of chrome ore ground or otherwise as a lining for
metallurgical furnaces but
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 with suitable chrome iron ore of the chromate or bichromate of
an alkali or alkaline earth substantially in the proportions stated and as and for
the purposes set forth.

Yorkshire do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
HYDRANTS AND FIRECOCKS, AND STANDPIPES IN CONNECTION WITH SAME 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 improved construction of Hydrants, and combination
of Standpipe therewith.
These improvements can be applied to any form of Hydrant or Firecock.
The Invention is illustrated by the accompanying Drawing in which Figure 1 is
a longitudinal section, in the Drawing A is the Hydrant of ordinary screwdown
type, B is the Standpipe.
These improvements consist in casting on the body of the Hydrant A a
chamber C down into which chamber the Standpipe can be pushed when not
required for use, D is an antifreezing valve which is opened by the act of
sliding the Standpipe down into the chamber, E is a boss cast on the cover
of the Hydrant, and through which the Standpipe B slides, the aperture through.
the said boss being lined with brass bush F and fitted on the under side
with elastic ring G against which the collar on the standpipe bottom H presses
when in action, this ring may if necessary be of metal and the Standpipe collar
ground watertight against it, or the aperture through which the Standpipe slides
may be fitted with a stuffing box, or with a cupped leather arrangment, I is the
brick work chamber surrounding the Hydrant when fixed underground, J is a cast
iron box with cover, the top of which is fixed level with the roadway K, When
it is desired to use the Hydrant, the cover of the box J is opened and the Stand-
pipe lifted up by the handle L until the collar H comes against the ring G, and
the outlet of the Standpipe is above the ground line K, the Hose M can then be
attached to the outlet by the screw or any other known method and the Hydrant
opened by a key put on the spindle N.
The Standpipe B may if necessary be made to rise any desired height by having
several tubes sliding one inside the other on the principle of a telescope.

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,
1st. The chamber C cast along with the Hydrant body A, or in a seperate
casting fitted theretoo, and for the purpose described of receiving and containing
the Standpipe when not in use.
2nd. The combination of Standpipe with Hydrant, and the arrangment
whereby it is always attached theretoo and ready for use in the manner described
and illustrated.
3rd. The arrangment of sliding Standpipe whether of one or more tubes,
whereby the outlet from an Hydrant or Firecock is brought to an higher or other
position for the attachment of Hose.

page_text: 1, EDWIN MANSFIELD, of Barton Arcade, Manchester, Gas Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The improvements relate to apparatus employed in the manufacture of gas for
lighting, heating, or other purposes, from mineral or other oils, and more par-
ticularly relate to that kind of apparatus known as "Mansfield's Oil Gas
Apparatus," and have for object the longer retention of the heated products of
combustion about the retort for the purpose of ensuring a more uniform heat
therein.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I construct the case con-
taining the retort of similar outward form to that hitherto employed under the
method, above referred to; but I cut off a portion of the annular space surrounding
the retort by means of a partition of fire-clay, metal, or other substance, extending
from the internal floor of the annular space to near the top thereof. The heated
products are thus held in their first ascent to the side of the retort, and as they
arrive at the top they pass over the partition and travel downwards to the opening
to the chimney, which I place at the bottom part of the outer casing, instead of the
top as heretofore.
:
The feed pipe supplying the oil is passed through the "bonnet" of the retort
itself, instead of through the side of the casing, and is carried down to near
the bottom of the retort, so that the oil reaches the heated metal in a hot state.
Variations in detail may be made, such as the form, position, or height of the
partition, or the size and length of the feed pipe passing through the "bonnet,"
without departing from the peculiarities of the invention.

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 employment of a partition or partitions in the annular space surrounding
the retort, in oil gas apparatus of the character herein named, for the purpose of
carrying the heated gases, or products of combustion, downwards, prior to their
entrance to the chimney, in manner substantially as shewn and described.
2. The passing of the oil feed pipe in such like oil gas apparatus, through the
"bonnet" of the retort, instead of through the casing at the side, for the purpose
and in manner substantially as shewn and described.

°
According to this invention I use nitrogen gas for the manufacture of an artificial
aërated water intended to be employed as a drink. I prefer the said aërated water in
the following manner.
The azote or nitrogen gas having been prepared or obtained and purified by any
suitable means is admitted into a saturating apparatus analogous to those which serve
to saturate water with carbonic acid in the manufacture of seltzer water or the like.
The filtered or ordinary water contained in the saturator becomes under the action
of pressure charged with the azote to any required and usual degree and I thus obtain

Potter 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 stoneware Filter having a hollow tube C through the centre with 2 screws in
it, each of which goes into a thread in the plates top & bottom of portion con-
taining the filtering medium, and is kept in its proper position by a nut A which
screws down on the top plate B-A block of carbon surrounds the lower part of
the tube which is perforated in the portion inside the carbon block. Loose charcoal
and sand or grit surrounds the carbon block. The water is poured into the
reservoir on top of this perforated plate B. It then passes through the loose
charcoal and the carbon block and through the holes in the tube into the recepticle
for filtered water. I sometimes place a bell shaped cover outside the upper part
of the carbon block thus causing the water to travel to the bottom of the carbon
block and then upwards thus longer in contact with the filtering medium.
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
1st That no cement or India rubber washer comes in contact with the water.
2nd That the water is very thoroughly filtered.
3rd That anyone can take out the filtering medium.
4th That the air is changed every time the water passes down the centre tube as
it will send air up the side tube.
AN IMPROVE- MENT IN TOBACCO PIPES
Year: 1886

page_text: I, SAMUEL M'LARDY of 16 Miller Street Manchester in the County of Lancaster
Pipe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVE-
MENT IN TOBACCO PIPES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The objects of this invention are to improve what is known as the "mount" of
the tobacco pipe whereby the mouth piece and stem of the pipe are connected
together, and to combine therewith an "anti-nicotine" joint which prevents the
access of the nicotine or oil to the mouth of the smoker and at the same time
prevents the flow of saliva or moisture from the mouth into the bowl of the pipe.
The nature of my invention and the manner in which the same 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. is a longitudinal section of a tobacco pipe made according to my invention
showing the mouthpiece and stem of the pipe detached from each other, and
Fig. 2. is a similar section of a slight modification thereof showing the two parts
united.
-In Fig. 1. a, a represents the bowl and stem of the pipe, which may be made of-
wood or other suitable material, and b, b is the mouthpiece which may be made
of horn, bone, amber or other material usually employed for such purposes.
The mount is made of two parallal short tubes c, c and d, d one attached to the
stem a, a and the other to the mouthpiece b, b; the tube c, c attached to the stem
being smaller than that d, d which is attached to the mouthpiece, so that the former
will slide telescopically inside the latter, and thus make a tight but easy fitting
joint.
Each of these short tubes is provided inside one end with a metal washer or
disc e, e in which is fitted a small screwed inner tube f, f one end of which is screwed
into the stem or the mouthpiece of the pipe and the other, end projects a short distance
into the tube c, c or d, d so as to form what is known as an "anti-nicotine" joint,
the inside of the tubes c, c and d, d forming, the reservoir, which can be emptied
at any time, without unscrewing, by merely sliding the telescopic joint asunder.
Fig. 2 illustrates a cheaper modification of my invention wherein the washers or
discs e, e are dispensed with, in which case also the screwed inner tube f, ƒ may be
made of one piece with the mouthpiece b, b.

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
The telescopic "mount" consisting of two parallel tubes one fixed to the stem
and the other to the mouthpiece and sliding one inside the other substantially as
described and illustrated.
Secondly. The combined telescopic "mount," and "anti-nicotine" joint sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawing annexed.

three, one being at the toe, and one on each end of the heel parts of the shoe.
We form the movable calks with dovetailed slots or grooves to correspond with
and fit upon the dovetailed lugs before mentioned, and we secure them in position
by passing a flat or other suitably shaped key, transversely through the calk and
the lug, and then bending down the projecting end into a groove formed for that
purpose. The calks may be cast or forged in steel, and may be pointed, chisel
shaped, or blunt as preferred.
