JAMES DAVIES.
JAMES DAVIES Meeting Street Engine Works Wednesbury 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:
My invention has for its object improvements in supporting bicycles by
themselves.
In carrying out my invention I attach a support made of light tube or rod to the
lower part of frame of bicycles.
My invention consists in constructing in the manner herein after described as a
support for a bicycle. The present objectionable mode of resting the pedal of
machine on the curb stone or leaning it against the wall or other places for support
& is inconvenient to lay them down. My invention overcomes this difficulty. I
will now describe my invention which consists of 2 half clips (A) with a joint (B).
being formed on one side & making them right & left forming joint (C) or hinge
to open & close on the tube (D) of machine frame. A screw (E) is fitted on the
other side of joint to secure the clip firm to machine frame.
The two half clips have a space between the joint forming a she-part of joint (C)
with a screw F forming the joint pin to hold clips together. To the he part of joint
there is fixed a rod or tube (G) sufficient to reach the ground & so let the machine
incline on one side a little on the support.
& with this support the machine will rest with the front wheel in any position..
When riding the support is simply lifted up against the top part of frame of
machine out of the way of the rider.
Another way of making support is by making spring clips (h) to fit the tube of
machine & fastened together by a screw (I) to the support. The support will then
swivel round the machine tube (D) of frame & can be fixed together in any position
to support the machine. This requires no joint or hinge as moving around the
tube or frame forms the joint. A screw is used in clips to hold in any position
required.

page_text: By placing two ordinary spring clips one on each side of the support on the tube
of frame prevents the support sliding along the tube or frame.
Having now described the nature of my said invention & in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The construction & combination of the parts to support the bicycle by a support
from the lower tube or frame of machine.

I, JOHN JOEL WAGSTAFF, of 7 St. John's Street, Newport Pagnell, Saddler, 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 certain improvements in the configuration or design of
bricks and building blocks, whereby structures or erections built up therefrom are
calculated to be possessed of considerably enhanced properties of strength and
durability.
In carrying our my invention I prefer to construct my new or improved
bricks and building blocks substantially as shewn in the several diagramatic
illustrations of the drawings.
Upon reference to the sheet of drawings the manner in which each individual
brick or block fits into the adjacent one on either side is made perfectly clear.
The essential feature of the arrangement is actually in the employment of dovetail
projections a and recesses b.
The bricks or blocks are also provided with hollow or solid projecting studs
similar to c which fit into holes in the upper or lower bricks as shewn at d, for the
purpose of preventing lateral movement of the bricks when built up.
These improved bricks or building blocks can be made from any suitable
material.
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 construction of bricks or building blocks having dovetail projections and
recesses on their surfaces, and with projections and holes, substantially as herein--
before described and shewn in the drawings.

Designer, and HERBERT STAFFORD of Beechfield Terrace, New Mills, Manchester,
Designer, 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 our invention is to provide a simple means whereby the arm of an
infant or person vaccinated is protected from contact with any external objects; in
order that our invention may be clearly understood we have filed with this Specifi-
cation a sheet of drawings; upon which the illustrative figure is a front elevation of
our improved shield or protector; in this figure a is a tubular ring of thin rubber
or any suitable soft pliable material. The central part of the shield or guard
consists of a thin plate of celluloid or other transparent or translucent substance
provided with a hole or holes for the purpose of admitting fresh air to the arm of
the wearer or allowing the escape of impure air; the transparent plate or shield is
fixed in any suitable way to the tubular rubber ring a and prevents ali possibility
of the sore place on the arm (upon which it is laid) being rubbed.
The use of the soft tubular ring is not essential in carrying out this invention ;.
any form of soft and preferably pneumatic device being applicable to the purpose,
in some cases the construction may be simplified to that of the transparent plate or
shield itself.
It is evident that in some cases our improved shield or protector may he used in
connection with other kinds of sores, boils, wounds etc.
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 we wish
it to be understood that we are aware of the Specification of Alexander Cole's Patent,

An Improvement in Caoutchouc Playing Balls.
I, GUSTAV LOUIS HILLE, of The Hille India Rubber Co. Ld., Eccles,
near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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 :-
Playing balls have hitherto been constructed of plain caoutchouc and sub-
sequently painted with various designs. The use of such balls causes the paint to
crack and in a short time the design becomes worn off.
My invention relates to an improvement in such balls whereby this defect is
remedied, so that the balls can be frequently washed without injuring the pattern
or design.
For this purpose, I construct the ball of segments of various shapes which are
joined together in the manner usually adopted in making balls. The caoutchouc
sheets from which these segments are cut are, however, coloured throughout their
thickness by incorporating aniline dyes or pigments with the caoutchouc in the
course of the manufacture of the sheets.
By using segments of different colours, balls presenting various designs can
be formed. Such designs may be added to by painting on the balls, in which.
case I prefer to paint lines or bands over those parts where the segments meet.
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 playing ball made of segments of caoutchouc cut from sheets coloured
throughout their thickness, 80 as to present durable coloured designs on
the ball.

Metal Case for Packing Coins in the Form of Rolls.
I, RICHARD SCHNEIDER, Workmaster of Trachenberg in the Province of
Silesia and Kingdom of Prussia 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 :—
Up to the present rolls of money were, as is well known, made in such a manner,
that a money column formed of coins, laid one upon the other, was surrounded
with paper the projecting edges of which being turned over and sealed up.
Apart from the fact, that this proceeding necessitates a certain amount of
practice and skill, it often happens, that the paper-covering tears, and that the
contents are scattered. Besides the contents of the roll very often do not
correspond with the amount marked outside.
The object of my invention is to do away with these disadvantages.
My invention consists in using a metal case A corresponding in length and
breadth to the number and kind of coins, that it is intended to hold (vide
drawing).
This metal case has a rigid bottom, and is supplied with one (or more) slit B,
which allow of the money being counted, or of a wrong coin being discovered.
The roll is closed by a cover E, which is provided with slits s, being pushed
over the projections F F1, the latter being thus turned down. The length of the
cases is so calculated, that only a fixed number of coins can be contained in the
case, so that by this fact alone errors are obviated.
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:
Apparatus for packing coins, consisting in a metal case provided with longitudinal
slit and cover.

A Process for Saving Dye-stuff in Dyeing with Indigo Blue.
I, EMILIO CABIATI, of No. 4, Via Dante, Milan, in the Kingdom of Italy,
Gentleman 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 enables a considerable proportion of dye-stuff to be economized
in dyeing with indigo blue fabrics printed in the reserve or resist style and by the
aid of mordants, without the loss of any of the metallic shimmer peculiar to
articles dyed with indigo blue in the usual vats. And the invention further permits
the ground of the dyed article to present a perfectly uniform velvety appearance.
The invention is applicable to cotton, wool and hemp fabrics, and will prove
equally serviceable whether the goods are dyed plain, or in the reserve style or
with mordants.
1. Articles dyed a plain and uniform blue; aniline black is first printed in net
work shape either on one or both sides of the material and then dyed in the
indigo vat.
2. For the reserve process, the reserve is first printed in the usual way; then,
by means of a printing machine, a net shaped groundwork is printed in aniline
black ou one or both sides of the material, which is eventually dyed in the indigo
vat in the usual manner; and
3. Where mordants are used, the material is first dyed a plain blue, then the
mordant printing is proceeded with, after which a net work of aniline black is
printed on one or both sides of the material, and lastly the whole is fixed or
developed, according as the dyes have been obtained by being caused to pass
through acid baths or by steaming (by Mather & Platt's process).
Instead of aniline black, other dye-stuffs may be utilized according to the nature
of the articles required,--such, for example, as cerulin, this and similar agents
being more economical and at least as effective and genuine as indigo.
The net shaped design, according to the quality of the material, may, if
necessary, be replaced by groundwork presenting other outlines.
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:-
A process for the saving of indigo in dyeing with that colouring agent for printed
goods obtained by the reserve or the mordanting method; such process consisting
in providing one or both sides of the material to be dyed with an aniline black
network shaped groundwork, either before or after dyeing in the vat.

I, GEORGE HUGHES Patent Agent of 23 Coleman Street, E.C. in the County of
London,(communication from) Gustav Friederich Bausch of Cannstatt Württemberg,
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
3 the following statement :-
The object of the invention is to construct a drilling machine which may be used
either as an ordinary vortical drill or converted into a horizontal drilling or milling
machine. My improved machine is represented in the accompanying drawing as
follows:-Fig. 1 being a part sectional side elevation, Fig. 2 an end elevation,
Fig. 3 an end elevation when in position for uso as a borizoutal drill, and Fig. 4 is
an enlarged section through the lower cone of the drill spindle. The driving axle i
revolves in suitable bearings on the frame a mounted on the column b. On one
end of i is fixed the spur wheel m gearing into another spur wheel Z, mounted on
the intermediate axle k, which runs in bearings on the frame n and carries at its
other end a bevel wheel by which the drill spindle s is rotated. Between the
frames or supports a and n is an intermediate support d by which the drill spindle
can be brought from the vertical to the horizontal position. d is for this purpose
formed as a worm wheel, in which gears the worm g running in suitable bearings
on a, and capable of being revolved by the wheel-handle . The part o on the
other side of the spur wheels is connected in a suitable manner to the flange p of
the support n by means of bolts or the like. The bolts by which d is fixed to a
aro moveable in a dovetailed groove, in such manner that by turning the worm g
by the wheel-handle o, the worm-wheel edge of d can be turned through a space of
360 degrees and can be fixed at any desired position between the vertical and
horizontal by tightening the bolts f. By moving the table t into a corresponding
position, the spindle scan, by having a milling tool fixed thereto, be used for
milling. In Fig. 4 z represents the coned bush in which revolves the spindle s.
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. An improved drilling machine, wherein the drill spindle may, as and when
required, be placed and retained at any angle within the 360 degrees of the
circumference of a circle, the whole provided for and operating substantially as
described in the above Specification and exemplified in the drawing..
2. The combination of parts together forming the improved drilling machine
substantially as described in the above Specification and exemplified in the

Improvements in and-connected with CHIMNEYS FOR Incandescent
Gas LAMPS. Burners.
I, MAX BUSSE of 57 Unter den Linden, Berlin, in the German Empire, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement.
In the gas burners used with mantles which become incandescent when in use, it
is found that the efficiency of the apparatus depends to a large extent upon the
sufficient admission of oxygen contained in air to the burner. This condition has to
a great extent been neglected, and it is the object of this invention to provide means
for the certain and regular admission of air to the burner.
I will describe my improvements with reference to the accompanying drawings, the
several two figures of which shew modified two forms of the burner chimney which
I employ. It will be understood that the gas supply and the arrangement of the
mantle are the same as in ordinary burners of this type.
In each of the figures a is the burner-cylinder chimney. To this chimney eylinder
I cause air to be admitted through suitable openings b, formed in the wall of the
chimney eylinder at or immediately below the base of the mantle.
These openings may be of various size and combination sorts. Thus, as shewn
by Figure 1, there may be a single ring of holes, or, as shewn by Figure 2; and
Figure-t two rings of holes b. er, as shewn-by Figure-3, the lower part of the
eylinder-may-be-slotted, in which case the openings may extend-from-below the
buse-of-the-mantle-to-the-bottom-of-the-eylinder.
I have-also-found--it-advantageous-to-form-in-the-upper-part-of-the-eylinder,-an
enlargement-d-as-shewn-by-Figure-4.
The greater admission addition of atmospheric air to the burner according to my
improvements does not in any degree impair the steadiness of the light.
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
In and chimney for incandescent gas burner,--a--eylinder lamps having
perforations or openings formed in it at or immediately below the base of the mantle,
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Skates.
Year: 1895

page_text: Improvements in Skates.
I, AUGUST FRIEDRICH MITTEL, of H 7 N 2 Mannheim, in the Empire of
Germany, Instrument Maker, 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 skate provided with two blades, the fastening of which
on the foot is effected by means of a heel plate impelled by a spiral spring against
the heel combined with a toe-piece placed over the front part of the foot.
The principal advantages of this arrangement are that the boot is not injured in
any way nor can a sideways bending of the foot occur.
Referring to the accompanying drawings in which my improved skate is
illustrated-
Figure 1 is a side elevation.
Figure 2 a view from above.
Figure 3 a section on line x. x of Figure 2.
The double blades a lie parallel to one another and are either prolonged in front
to join each other in the manner shown in Figure 2 or may be left separated and
parallel. They are firmly fixed to the foot plates b b¹. The heel plate c pressing
against the heel of the foot is bent at its under part at a right angle and the
projecting portion c¹ thereby caused is placed in dove-tailed slots e in the lower
part of the plate b. By means of a spring d attached on the one side at f to the
plate 6 and on the other side at f₁ to the horizontal piece c', a given pressure
causes the piece c pressing against the heel to move forwards.
This piece is
moreover provided with slots g through which a strap h can be passed, in order to
be fastened, over the foot. To the front plate 6' is secured a toe-strap h¹.
The fastening of my improved skate on the foot takes place as follows:-
After the front part of the foot has been pushed through the toe-strap h¹ the
piece c is drawn back so far that the foot can be placed upon the plate 6 whereon
the piece c is released and being drawn by means of the spring d presses the foot
forwards tightly into the toe-strap h¹. In order to afford additional security the
strap can then be inserted in the piece c and buckled over the instep as already
explained.
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 :-
A skate provided with two blades a the securing of which on the foot is effected
by means of the toe-strap ¹ and a heel piece e impelled by means of a spring
against the heel, further secured by means of a strap h passing through the piece c
and buckled over the instep.

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pastille for the Relief of Asthma.
We, WILLIAM TARR and R. BELL & CO. LIMITED, both of Bromley-by-Bow,
in the County of London, Wax Vesta Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the production of pastilles for the relief of
asthma and which are designed to be ignited in order to give off their medicinal
properties.
Our improved pastilles are composed of charcoal, nitre, powdered aniseed and
stramonium leaves.
This composition is moulded into blocks or pieces of convenient shape and
provided with means whereby it may be readily lighted.
In practice we find it advantageous to make up the composition in the form of
fusees or vesuvians, that is to say, to apply the composition to a wired stick
to make a head and to apply to this head a composition which will ignite by
friction.

Improvements in Self Raising Flour.
Year: 1895

page_text: Date of Application, 26th Feb., 1895-Accepted, 4th May, 1895
Improvements in Self Raising Flour.
SIEGFRIED MATHEUS of 16 Dragonerstrasse, Berlin, 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 a self-raising flour which contains all the necessary
substances or ingredients for making pastry or bread, the ingredients being added
in their proper quantities and thoroughly mixed.
A flour so manufactured is intended especially for small bakeries and for domestic
use to obviate the difficulties previously existing in such cases of adding the
proper quantities and proportions of the necessary substances and of effecting their
thorough admixture.
Flour made according to this invention contains all the necessary ingredients to
make bread or pastry, the ingredients of course varying according to the kind of
bread or pastry to be made from it. All that is necessary in order to make
a certain pastry is to take the proper flour and make it into dough by any of the
usual means and if desired with the addition of butter, sugar, eggs and the like.
An example of the new self-raising flour consists of a mixture of wheat, flour, a
raising mixture or substance, and extracts, spices, or flavourings, in the proportions
of 500 parts of flour to 20 to 25 parts of the raising mixture and 9 parts of the
flavouring substance.
The raising mixture consists essentially of bicarbonate of soda and bitartrate of
potassium which re-act upon one another and liberate carbonic anhydride by which
the raising is effected. Bicarbonate of soda, however, always contains a small
quantity of carbonate of soda upon which the bitartrate of potassium is not strong
enough to act to liberate carbonic anhydride. A. disagreeable taste of carbonate of
soda is thus imparted to the pastry or bread prepared with this raising powder and
has offered an objection to its use.
This objection is overcome in a raising powder manufactured according to this
invention by the addition to the bicarbonate of soda and the bitartrate of potassium
of any phosphate of calcium which, in combination with the carbonate of soda,
develops carbonate acid and phosphate of potassium.
Pastry made from this improved self-raising flour is thus free from all taste of
carbonate of soda.
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 self raising flour consisting substantially of the ingredients hereinbefore set
forth.
2. In a self raising flour the combination of bitartrate of potassium, bicarbonate
of soda and a phosphoric salt substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described.
