Improved Process for Making Soap.
I RICHARD GESELL, of 1100 Kurfurstenstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the follow-
ing statement:-
The present invention consists of a process for producing soap, which possesses
the quality of rubbing, healing and disinfecting the skin when used. This effect
is produced by mixing with the soap and working up therein, a suitable quantity
of bran, oatmeal or wood fibre, the said ingredients being all or severally employed.
The oils and fatty substances employed in producing soap are saponified by
means of alkalies & boiling in the usual manner; a suitable quantity of wood
fibre, is then impregnated with boric acid and a suitable proportion of bran or
oatmeal added to the latter mixture. This mixture is added to the saponified
solution which is subsequently salted out and moulded in the well known manner.
The mixture added consists advantageously of about 50% wood fibre, 30% brau
and 20% oatmeal, to which is added 5% of boric acid in order to thoroughly
impregnate the mixture. The soap thus produced has the quality of thoroughly
cleansing the skin without injuring the same. The addition of wood fibre effects
the thorough cleansing of the skin whilst the oatmeal heals sprayed and rough
skin as also the bran, the former having a binding effect on the soap, whilst
the boric acid which is absorbed by each of the above mentioned ingredients
& particularly by the wood fibre has a disinfecting effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
In the manufacture of soap, the process which consists in mixing with the
saponified solution bran, oatmeal and wood fibre, previously treated with boric
acid then salting out and moulding the soap substantially as described.

A New or Improved Stud and Tie Clip.
I, WILLIAM HEELEY of Sycamore, New Mill, Huddersfield, Solicitor's Clerk,
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 stud for use with collars, and has for its
object to provide a simple device of this kind which will also serve to secure the
ties in position, behind and prevent them rising over the collar.
In carrying out my invention I employ a stud with a detachable head made
after the style of solitaires. This allows the shank to be passed through the stud
hole and the head to be fitted in position from the outside.
To this adjustable head I propose to secure an arm extending radially for a
suitable distance. This arm is employed as a tie clip, the head of the stud
being placed in position after the tie has been applied, so that the arm rests
on top of the latter. The tie is thus effectually prevented from rising above
the stud.
In order that the arm may be secured in the required position and the head of
the stud prevented from turning, a notch and projection or other suitable devices
are employed which secure the head on the shank in any required position.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is
had to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a side.
elevation of the improved stud and Fig. 2 a front view showing the arrangement
applied.
A is the base of the stud having the central shank a. On the top of this the-
detachable head B is fitted-by means of any ordinary catch such as those used in
solitaires. The projection on the head extends into a small notch at the upper
end of the shank so as to hold the head in the proper position. The arm C extends
from the head in a downward direction and covers the back of the tie. This arm.
can be made in one piece with the head or may be fitted to it in any suitable
manner.
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.) The combination with a collar stud having a detachable head, of an arm.
extending downwardly from the head, and adapted to clip the tie in position,
substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved collar stud and tie clip, having a detachable head and an arm
fitted to the same, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying:
drawings and for the purposes specified.

Halifax in the County of York, Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:--
This invention relates to lavatory or cabinet stand wash basins as described in
my specification No. 8468 of 1884 and the improvements consist in fluting, corru-
gating, or grooving the flat surfaces of lavatory or cabinet stand wash basins, so as
to convert the said surfaces into large soap trays; the soap or other articles being
prevented from slipping into the water bowl by means of a raised rim formed all
round or nearly all round it. Also forming the soap trays so as to allow any
surplus water to drain into the water bowl and thereby preventing the dissolving
and consequent waste.of soap, and the lodging of water, as on the flat parts of the
ordinary lavatory or cabinet stand wash basins. Also in dispensing with the
ordinary plugs, washers, and chains, standing or other secret wastes, and grated
overflows, by forming the lavatory or cabinet stand wash basin with an outlet
leading into a separate chamber, which chamber is raised to the top level of the
lavatory or cabinet stand wash basin, and fitting to the outlet of this chamber a

An Improvement in Shut Off Valves.
We, GALLOWAYS LIMITED, and JOHN HENRY BECKWITH, all of Knott
Mill Iron Works, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, 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 construction of shut off valve such that the pressure
acting on it is approximately balanced, and therefore it can be closed or opened
with comparatively little effort.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing is a vertical section of a shut off valve
according to this invention. Figs. 2 and 3 shewing detached details.
On the seating A is fitted the coned end of the valve which is in the form of a
hollow plunger B working through packings C. In the centre of the plunger B is
a hollow stem D internally screw threaded to receive a screw E which can be
turned by a hand wheel F. The stem D passes through packing Gand, to prevent
it from turning, it has ears H projecting on each side and working in slots of a
boss K which projects down from the cover L of the valve box. As the fluid has
free access to the upper side of the plunger B and as the area of the stem D
which projects through the cover may be made approximately equal to the annular
area of the scating A covered by the valve when it is closed, there is little or no
unbalanced pressure resisting the opening or closing.
In order to reduce friction in opening or closing the valve, it is preferred to
introduce ball bearings M and N above and below the cross head P.
Instead of having the opening Q at the bottom of the valve box, the box may
have a lateral opening indicated by the dotted lines R.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A balanced shut off valve constructed and operating substantially as described
with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in the Drawing and Planishing of Tubes of
Aluminium Alloy, and in Means Employed therefor.
I, FREDERICK ARTHUR ELLIS, of Sylvan Works, Sylvan Grove, Old Kent Road,
London, S.E. Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be us
follows:-
This invention relates to the drawing and planishing in one operation and on one
draw bench, of tubes of aluminium alloy, and to the means employed therefor; with
the object of rendering the said tubes harder, more elastic, and of greater tenacity,.
than if drawn in a die in the usual manner.
To carry my process into effect, I place a tube of aluminium alloy upon a mandril,
provided with a gripping head, and draw the tube on a draw-bench through a
fixed die, which may either be of the ordinary character, or of rollers, rotating
longitudinally to the tube.
Close to the fixed die I provide one or more revolving dies, each of which is so
arranged that the parts may be caused to press upon the tube with any desired
pressure, whilst revolving upon the part of the drawn tube after it has left the
drawing dies.
In this way, I produce a rotary or slightly spiral planishing, due to the revolution
of the die or dies and the longitudinal movement of the tube, over the whole surface
of the tube, as it passes through the said revolving die or dies, and after it has been
drawn longitudinally through the fixed die; and thus I develope a special grain
throughout the tube, and largely increase its hardness, elasticity and tenacity, over
that acquired in the ordinary longitudinal drawing; also giving it a smooth or
planished surface.
In addition to this drawing and planishing, I may finish the tube by an external
polishing, removing all tool marks, and giving an excellent finish to the materiál.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres.
I, ANTON MÜNDEN, of 42 and 43 Alter Steinwog, Hamburg, in the German Empire,
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 relates to pneumatic tyres, and consists in arranging
double air
tube in order that if one of the air tubes should become leaky, the other may
be used.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to describe
the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and
figures marked thereon.
The two air tubes are arranged beside each other in the outer tube a. Each of
the tubes is inflated with air, if they are both air-tight. Should however, one of the
two air tubes be leaky, the other is fully inflated and the defective air tube is allowed
to lie in the outer tube without being inflated or used, see Figure 2. The defective
air tube may then be repaired at any convenient time. The air tubes may be inserted
independently of each other, or they may be attached to each other on one side by
adhesive material, or they may be made in one piece, without departing from the
nature of my invention. Of course, each of the two air tubes must be inflated by
a separate valve.
This invention obviates the great disadvantage that the cyclist experiences by being
often delayed for hours through repairs on the road by the tyre becoming leaky.
Should one of the tubes burst, or be rendered defective, it is only necessary to
completely inflate the other tube with air, in order to allow the cyclist to continue
his journey without much delay.
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 :-
A pneumatic tyre in which the air tube is divided into two tubes which are inflated
independently of each other, and may be separated from or attached to each other,
substantially as described.

is possible to fix curtains to curtain-rods or poles without the necessity of
sewing them thereon or of piercing the curtains in any way. The advantage
secured is that the curtains may be easily removed for the purpose of washing
them or replacing them by new ones, whilst in cousequence of the new manner of
fixing them, they are protected from being torn.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a view of the curtain holder.
Figure 2 an elevation.
Figure 3 a view perpendicular to Figure 1.
Figure 4 a view in perspective.
Figure 5a curtain fixed to the new curtain holder.
The clip is so formed that its upper end constitutes a loop or eye a, through
which loop or eye the curtain pole or a cord or the like is passed. At its lower
end, the clip forms a spring tongs or pincers, the claws c, d, of which are normally.
kept in closed position, or in other words in close contact with one another, by
the elasticity of the spring wire or other material of which the clip is composed,
but which are capable of being opened or pressed apart by exerting a pressure upon
the projections or finger pieces e and f. When the claws are pressed apart the
upper edges of the curtain may be passed between them so as to be gripped, when
the curtain may be hung as shown in the drawings.
This form of clip presents the advantages mentioned above, and in addition.
thereto, together with great cheapness, the further advantage of being capable of
easy handling in fixing aud using the curtain.
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 new or improved curtain clip substantially as set forth.

An Apparatus for the Transport of Sick Beds, Couches, and the like.
I, ERNST SCHLAG, of 3 Rosenstrasse, Schweidnitz, in the Empire of Germany,
Master Builder 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 present invention relates to an Apparatus by means of which a bedstead of
ordinary construction can be rendered easily transportable, and thereby enabling
patients to be conveyed from place to place without the necessity of leaving their
beds. The new transporting apparatus is illustrated in the accompanying
drawing:-
-
Fig. 1 is a front view of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 a front view of a detail relating to a lever arrangement.
Fig. 3 a side view and partial section through Fig. 3.
Fig. 4 shows the application of the lever arrangement.
An arched frame a, having two catches b & c, which are intended to take hold
under the front end of the bedstead A is carried on a vertical stay d, at the upper
end of which is a handle e. On the rod d towards the top is a movable 'catch f,
which is so arranged as to clasp over the upper edge of the end of the bed. The
arched frame a is capable of being raised by means of a hand-wheel g, so as to be
easily adjustable to the height between the lower edge of the end of the bed d and
the floor of the room. The rod d is mounted on a carriage frame h.
The operation of the apparatus is as follows:
Under each of the two ends of the bed-stead one of the contrivances described
above is placed, and by the setting in motion of the hand-wheel g, the catches b
are pushed under the bottom and the catch f over the top edge of the front
end d.
The lever, to the end of which is fixed a cam b, is now pressed upwards. This
cam is so arranged as to butt against the arched frame a, so that when the lever is
pressed upwards the whole frame a is raised, so that the feet m of the bedstead are
removed from the floor, and the whole bed rests on the carriage h, on which it can
now be removed.
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) The Apparatus for the transport of Sick-beds, couches and the like sub-
stantially as set forth.

Improvements in and connected with the Gills and Fallers of Fibre
Preparing Machinery.
I, MAX HOFFMANN, Engineer, of Ober Zirlau, Kingdom of Prussia, German
Empire, 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 fallers hitherto in general use for the most part are bearing the gills
(porcupines) immediately rivited on the fallers, thus necessarily deteriorating
them. Moreover there is another system usual which, deprived of gills, immediately
fastens the needles to the faller itself which has for consequence not only to
prejudice the faller for the needle-holes but also the inconvenience of spending
time and trouble for taking ont the faller in case of repairing but one, which has
only one needle (d) broken.
The herewith presented invention will prevent any deterioration of the fallers in
enabling at once to substitute another gill in place of the defective one.
Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing presents a side view.
Fig. 2. a top view.
Fig. 3. a gill in top view.
The gills ("e") herewith are to be pushed into angular notches formed with
prominent loops ("6") of the faller ("a") and there fixed with screws ("c")
which pass through the loops, or in a similar suitable manner, thus permitting the
single gill to be changed by annother.
Having now particulary described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
A new method of fixing gills ou the faller by prominent loops ("6") and
screws ("c") or such like, which keep from above the gills pressed against the
faller therefore never prejudicing nor diminishing at all the solidity of the faller
itself.

Improved Process for Producing Imitation Tarsia Work.
I, OTTO RUEGER, Artist, of 52 Flora Strasse, Zurich Switzerland, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The present invention consists of a process for producing imitation tarsia work
and the same is carried out in the following mauner :-
A plate of good white fine grained wood is coated over with a dark oil or water
glaze and the picture which has been previously sketched thereon in the usual
manner is then painted with some material which does not dry hard or with a
caustic fluid. After it has then apparently dried the whole surface is covered with
a varnish for instance copal varnish. As soon as the varnish is dry the drawing
is washed, when the substance with which the painting was produced will be
washed off and the drawing will appear in sharply defined condition. The drawing
thus prepared may then be treated or painted in the usual manner.
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 :-
A process for producing imitation tarsia work, which consists in covering the
wood with a thin layer of oil or water glaze, providing those parts which are to
appear white with a substance which does not dry hard, or marking them with a
caustic fluid, allowing the same to dry and covering the whole with a coating of
varnish and finally washing off the parts not dry substantially as described and for
the purpose specified.

Improvements in Glass Cylinders and Chimneys.
EDWARD JOHN SHAW, Astral Works, Hatherton Street, Walsall, Glass and
Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Improvements in gas or lamp cylinders or chimneys made of glass. The object
is to secure greater durability and prevent undue breakage. To accomplish this
purpose I encircle my cylinders with glass hollow bands, or rings at such distances
as I may find desireable.
These bands, or to be more exact, hollow grooves, are part of the cylinder
proper, that is, they are not separate or solid rings of glass added after the
cylinder is formed. They are part of the cylinder itself and are produced by
having corresponding rings arranged within the mould in which the cylinler is
made or blown.

Improvements in Glass Cylinders and Chimneys.
1, EDWARD JOHN SHAW, of Astral Works, Hatherton Street, Walsall, in the
County of Staffordshire Glass and 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 :-
My invention relates to glass cylinders and chimneys for use with lamps and
burners, and its object is to secure greater durability in the same and to prevent
undue breakage thereof. To accomplish this purpose I encircle my cylinders or
chimneys with a number of horizontal hollow bands or grooves at such distances as
I may find desirable, and in order that my invention may be better understood,.
reference is had to the accompanying drawings upon which,
Figure 1 represents an elevation of a chimney embodying my invention
Figure 2 being a vertical section through the same.
The hollow bands or grooves B are formed out of the chimney or cylinder A
and not attached thereto; they may be moulded or otherwise formed upon the
chimney, as found desirable.
These hollow bands or grooves serve not only to stendy and improve the light
but add materially to the durability of the chimney, as not only do they afford a
convenient means for the expansion of the chimney but tend to restrict the
enlargement of a flaw or crack.
My improved chimney may be used with equal advantage for gas or oil
hurnors

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
Glass chimneys for gas or oil lamps, having two or more horizontal bands or
grooves formed therein, as and for the purposes described.

Improvements in Condensing Worms Constructed of Pottery.
I HENRY LEWIS DOULTON Lambeth Pottery, London, Potter do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved method of constructing condensing worms
of pottery. Instead of making a worm in one piece of ware, I construct it of
sections of tube of suitable form, connected together by means of ground surface
joints and metal clamps, or other suitable joints, making when joined together a
worm of helical or other desired form.
By this arrangement worms of any length can be built up, and any section that
may become damaged can easily be replaced.
