Improvements in Gas Regulators.
CHARLES JAMES CLAMP No. 1 Parliament Street, Hull Merchant &c. 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:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of my Invention for Improvements in gas regulators
which is composed of a dome (A) at the top of which is a screw cap (B) having a
hole in the centre to permit air entering and escaping, thus allowing the inverted cup
or bell to rise and fall freely, but the air hole is so constructed as to prevent the
escape of the mercury even if the machine were overturned. The portion (C) is a
lute specially prepared to prevent any action of the mercury upon the metal by being
coated with enamel the centre portion of which is raised and returned to prevent the
escape of the mercury down the centre hole of the lute, across which are guides (D)
indicated by the arrows with holes in them large enough for the passage of the valve
rod (E). The portion (F) is cylindrical shaped, attached to which is the outlet
nozzle (G). The bottom portion (H) also forms the inlet nozzle (I) which like the
outlet is so formed as to admit of any water passing freely through the machine and
thence into the meter or other convenient receptacle. There is also an inverted cup
or bell (J) dipping into an annular trough filled with mercury, and the valve is
connected to the cup or bell by the valve rod (E). The machine is regulated by
weights (L) placed over the spindle and resting upon the top of the inverted cup or
bell. The different portions forming the casing of the machine are screwed together
with the screws (M) and are made gas tight with washers, white lead, putty, or other
suitable matter.
In a second modification shown in vertical section Fig. 2, the cylindrical shaped
portion (F) is entirely dispensed with and the dome (A), the lute (C) and the bottom
portion (H) are screwed together, the bottom portion (H) being slightly altered in
shape to allow for the outlet nozzle (N) which is in the same casting.
The machine as shown in Fig. 1 is adapted for large sizes, and that shown in Fig. 2
for small sizes.
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:

Improvements in Washing Tubs.
I ROBERT RHODES of the firm of Messrs. Thomas Rhodes & Sons Lye Stourbridge
in the County of Worcester Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of my said
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 has for its object improvements in washing tubs which I so construct
as to dispense with the need of a washing board altogether and in such a manner that
the necessary grooved or roughed surface forms part of the tub, and thereby becomes
immoveable. This arrangement is most rigid and while saving the cost of a washing
board is of convenient shape as the semi-oval has the advantages of an oval tub with
the additional facility for manipulating the clothes with both hands without any fear
of any particular part moving while in use. 1 may however form the tub of any
desires shape and the supports form feet which prevent the bottom from wearing out
nearly so quick as in ordinary tubs..
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practice, I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which I
have fully illustrated my improvement carried out in connection with a galvanized
iron washing tub but which may be applied with equal facility to washing tubs of
wooden construction.
Figure 1 is a general view of my improved tub.
Figure 2. is an end elevation.
Figure 3. is a front elevation.
Figure 4 is a plan.
Figure 5. is a.section on line 1-2.
In carrying out my improvements I form one side A of the oval or other shaped
tub B square, and this side A is fixed upon the slant in a substantial inanner, and in a
similar position to that in which the ordinary loose washing boards are placed and by
this means I form a compact and cheap washing tub the one side A of which
constitutes the scrubbing board A and which is in the most easy convenient position
for use.
To prevent the tub from being overbalanced I place two strong supports D and E
at the front of the washing board A portion of the tub and these supports I rivet
respectively at d¹ and e¹ to the washing board, and at d² and e² to the bottom F of
the tub this portion of the support also forming feet upon which the tub stands
thereby preventing the bottom from wearing out as quickly as if the flat metal
bottom formed the base of the tub.
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 improvements in washing tubs having a grooved or roughed side or surface
substantially as herein set forth and shewn upon the drawings.

We MICHAEL DIAZ BENJUMEA and JOSEPH DIAZ BENJUMEA of 6 Bayley Street,
Bedford Square, London, W.C. commercial travellers, 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 "Palmae "Chamaerops humilis" fig. 1, are first cut in their natural green
state and then dried, bleached and hardened by exposure to the sun in the bot
countries where these plants are produced. As they generally become too stiff,
water is employed to make them soft and flexible during manufacture. They are
next sorted and tied by hand into small bundles, each of the necessary quantity for
a broom, fig. 2, and as the "Palmae" have different lengths both ends of the bundle
are chopped off to make them even A & B. A few "Palmae" leaves are then placed
round a conical wooden peg, which is hammered in this way into the stalks fig. 3:
the peg in order to make the cavity for introducing the broom stick and the leaves
to form a covering for the prickly stalks round the broom stump C: to make them
tight some twisted "Palmae" cord is tied round it for several times till necessary
fig. 4. After this operation has been completed the wooden peg is drawn out leaving
the cavity as aforesaid D. The broom is next hung up to dry and get stiff again
when the wooden stick or bamboo cane is introduced fig. 5.
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:
1st. The Invention of the application of "Palmae ""Chamaerops humilis" to Carpet
Brooms.
2nd. The Invention of the process of manufacture herein described.
Year: 1889

page_text: I, NICOLO PIRANSOLA, of Genoa, Italy, Jeweller, 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 improved manufacture of articles in filigree work with
enamel ornaments or miniatures, and it consists essentially in the employment of a
special liquid for incorporation with the enamel powder whereby the filigree article to
be ornamented can be subjected to such a degree of heat that the enamel will become
fused to the required extent without at all prejudicially affecting the fine threads of
filigree work.
There are no special rules to be observed in carrying out the ordinary process of
enamelling, and it is only by practice and careful attention that good results can be
obtained, when opaque enamel with miniatures have to be fixed on the polished
surfaces of gold or silver; but when it is desired to introduce opaque or transparent
enamels into the interstices of the filigree work according to my invention, a special
liquid has to be employed which will sustain the powder that is introduced into the
interstices for being transformed into enamel.
The heat then evaporates the liquid employed at the same time that the layer of
enamel is formed by fusion, leaving the latter fixed in position without requiring
other aid.
The said liquid is obtained by adding to water 10 per cent. by weight of linseed and
heating the same without actually boiling. After a certain time a suitably viscous
liquid, is obtained, which is then mixed with the opaque or transparent enamel
powders to be employed.
Up to the present time water and very pure essences have been employed for
producing enamels, as all foreign matter was found to affect the colours, and produced
imperfections in the objects to be enamelled. With the above described liquid a ready
and safe support is afforded to the enamel powders, and the enamel itself is produced
in perfect condition and lustrous on both sides, without requiring artificial polishing,
which operation is very difficult and sometimes impossible to carry out with enamelled
filiere sticles

page_text: The slightly fatty liquid produced from the infusion of linseed in hot water acts as
intermediary, that is to say, it facilitates the fusion of the enamel and retards that of
the silver filigree, and thus facilitates the manufacture of enamels and miniatures on
articles either entirely of filigree, or partly of filigree, and partly of solid surfaces.
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
In the manufacture of articles made wholly or partly of filigree work in combination
with enamel, the use of a liquid medium consisting of an infusion of linseed in hot
water for mixing with the enamel powder, substantially as herein described.

page_text: I, JOHANNES ANDERSSEN, of Torvet 3, Christiania, in the Kingdom of Norway,
Office Messenger, 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 a bucket the bottom of which forms a self-acting valve
furnished with a central guide, through which valve the bucket can be filled thus
rendering it particularly suitable for raising water from wells or other like places.
My improved bucket is represented in the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 shows the bucket in vertical section.
Figure 2 is a top view, and
Figure 3 is a view of the bottom of the same.
The bottom of the bucket a forms a self-acting valve and consists of a moveable
plate 6, the periphery of which is turned over and a ring e fixed to the bucket, which
ring forms the seat of the valve and is dished in order to receive the turned over
portion of the plate b.
A disc or ring d of india-rubber, leather or other suitable waterproof material is
provided on the lower side of the plate 6 and is secured by the turned-over edge of
the plate band a fixing-plate 6 placed beneath the plate b, which fixing-plate &' as
well as the plate b is soldered to the valve spindle e. This spindle is guided in cross-
pieces on the underside of the bottom and in a cross-piece g above the same in its
motion between the valve-seat c and the cross-piece 9 by which the valve is prevented
from becoming fixed.
By the use of a bucket of this description for fetching water or other liquid, the
valve will, when the bucket is plunged into the water, instantly open, and the water
will flow in and fill the bucket; when the bucket is lifted the water contained therein
will press the valve downwards and shut it.
A bucket of this kind will be found to be of great advantage where the water is to
be lifted from small reservoirs and from places which are situated below the level of
the ground and especially in cases where the water reservoir or the well is shallow,
the bucket can be filled without agitating the water as much as usual and the water is
thereby rendered less muddy.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1). A bucket having its bottom arranged so that it forms a self-acting valve
provided with a central guide spindle.
(2). In a bucket, a self-acting valve consisting of a valve-seat c attached to the
bottom of the bucket, a moveable plate soldered to the valve spindle e and provided
with a fixing-plate and an india-rubber ring d and the guides fand g arranged
above and below the bottom for guiding the valve spindle substantially as set forth
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

I, DANIEL LUCAS of Normacot Longton in the County of Stafford Artist 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 novelty of my invention is the preparation of a Composition, Paste or Ink to
be used in the Printing and decorating of China, Earthenware, or Glass, and is
composed of the following articles namely, Two ounces of "China Clay one ounce
of "Drop Black and one ounce of "Rose Pink" which when ground together very
fine in Spirits of Turpentine are allowed to stand until the Spirits of Turpentine has
evaporated when "Printers Oil" and "Canadian Balsam" (in proportions of three
parts of the former to one part of the latter) are added and the whole is placed upon
a heated Bakestone or Plate The following is the method of applying such
composition to the article (which may be of China Earthenware or Glass) to be
decorated―
First a Pattern or den is engraved on a Copper, Zinc, or other metal Plate
which is heated and afterwar coated over the engraved surface with the Composition
or Paste in order to charge the engraved lines with such composition or paste.
The Composition then remaining on the engraved surface of such Plate is then
removed leaving the engraved design or Pattern only charged with the composition :
To obtain an impression or Print of the design or Pattern a sheet of thin tissue paper
previously sized with a solution of ordinary soap and water is placed on the engraved
surface of the plate and is then passed under a l'ress-The impression or print so
obtained is afterwards applied to the article to be printed or decorated and is allowed
to stand and the print or design is thus transferred to the article to be printed or
decorated, The Paper is then washed off and the article is placed in an oven to dry
after which it may be "ground laid" with various colors, gold, silver, bronze, (either
in dust or liquids) over the Printed design, The article is then "fired" in a kiln and
when cold again is wiped over when the print or design is left sharp and clear-By
this process gold and silver and two or more colors may be introduced at every
impression.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The novelty of the preparation of such Composition Paste or Ink and the
process of its manufacture as herein before particularly set forth.

Improvements in Sounding Boards for Stringed Instruments.

Improvements in Sounding Boards for Stringed Instruments.
I, PHILIPP FLEISCHER of 8 Louisenstrasse, Munich in the Empire of Germany,
Acadamical Painter, 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 :-
After many experiments made with the view of giving stringed instruments such
as violins, pianos, cithers, and the like, a strong and full tone I bave found that this
result is attained by treating the under or lower side of the sounding board of the
instrument in question in such a manner that the finer grained, harder parts or veins
of the wood project, while the coarser grained, softer, or more porous parts situated
between the former are pressed down i.e., compressed.
I have for instance treated the sounding board of a violin in this manner, by
having compressed the softer parts of the wood situated between the harder veins on
the inner side of the said sounding board, by means of a hard pointed stilus or similar
instrument which is guided along the harder parts or veins of the wood for this
purpose. By these means the surface of the inner side of the sounding board
receives a ribbed appearance, the harder parts or veins of the wood forming the
ribs.
In the accompanying drawings:
--
Fig. 1 represents a plan of a part of the sounding board of a violin treated in the
above described manner, and Fig. 2 represents a section of the same.
The projecting ribs a are formed by the harder parts or veins of the wood, the
softer or more porous parts between them having been pressed down and thus
compressed.
A sounding board treated in this manner gives to a newly made instrument a tone
which is not much inferior to that of the old Italian violins and the cause of this is
most likely that the vibrating powers of the sounding board are considerably increased
by compressing the softer parts of the wood situated between the harder parts or
veins thereof.
The sounding boards of all kinds of stringed instruments may be advantageously
treated in the same manner.
Having thus 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
olaim is:
The treatment of the sounding board of stringed instruments in such a manner
that the softer or more porous parts of the wood situated between the bard parts or
the veins thereof of the lower or back side of the said sounding boards are pressed
down and compressed thus giving the sounding board a ribbed appearance, substantially
as and for the purpose specified.

1 ARTHUR DINGLE, of 30 Potter Gate Street, Norwich, Norfolk, Shoe-Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
1 fix two flat round brushes face to face upon the ends of a cylindrical brush
leaving sufficient space between the faces of the flat round brushes for the foot to
come between and rest upon the cylindrical brush. The three brushes are secured
to a suitable handle to enable a person to scrub the feet and lower parts of the legs
without stooping.
I prefer to make the brushes a fixture to the handle but if desired they could be so
arranged as to hè revolved by a crank handle at the upper part of the handie, motion
being conveyed to the brushes from and to a pulley by an endless, hand.

Current Reverser for Train-lighting Purposes.
EDWARD JOHN HOUGHTON, Camden, Underhill Road, Dulwich S.E. Electrical
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
When charging accumulators automatically for railway train lighting by means of
a dynamo with reversible brush holders and centrifugal governor it becomes necessary
to reverse the current used to actuate the electro magnets which retain the brush
holders in position according to the direction of the motion of the train. I therefore
arrange a current reverser in the following way-A sleeve of metal is fixed immovably
upon the spindle of the governor so as to revolve therewith. A split strap of wood
or other suitable material is clamped loosely upon this sleeve and kept lubricated so
that whilst it is free to slide upon it, it will exert sufficient power to move a lever
which it carries making an electrical contact on the one or the other end according
to the direction of rotation of the governor. This will be understood by reference to
the drawing where A is the governor spindle. B the sleeve, C the split strap, and D
the lever which carries the contact points E E which dip into the cups of mercury FF
and complete a circuit.

page_text: I, WILLIAM THOMAS WHEATLEY of Eclipse Works, New George Street, Sheffield
in the County of York, 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 :—
This invention is the outcome of many experiments with the composition or cement
described in the specification of the Patent No. 3255 granted to ine on the 3rd day of
March 1888, and is an improvement thereon.
In the preparation of cement made according to this invention, the following
ingredients are well mixed and compounded together in the usual manner.
Roll Sulphur 80%; Purified anhydrous Calcium Sulphate 16% Zinc Oxide 3%,
with liberty to add thereto, one per cent. of aluminic silicate if desirable.
The purified anhydrous calcium sulphate is freed from silica and other natural
impurities, consequently it is rendered less dense, and is therefore brought nearer to
the specific gravity of sulphur; the great advantage of the purification is that there is
less tendency of the component parts to separate, and the nearest possible approach to
a flux is thus secured.
The addition of Zinc oxide improves the colour of the cement, and further corrects
the tendency of the said constituent parts to separate, and it also improves it in its
pouring quality.
In using this above described cement when securing the handles of Table Cutlery,
t is necessary to rough the tang of the knife, and the hole in the handle must also
be grooved or otherwise roughed, by any suitable means.
Although I have given the best proportions of the various materials, for producing
he desired result, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine my invention
trictly to the exact amount of each ingredient, as such proportions may be varied
me or two per cent. either way without departing from the invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
:-
A Cement composed of the following materials, and in the proportions specified or
thereabouts.
Roll sulphur 80%, Purified anhydrous calcium sulphate 16%, and Zinc Oxide 3%,
with or without the addition of 1% aluminic silicate.
