Improved Means of Attaching Syphon Heads to Bottles containing
Aerated Liquids.
We JOHN MALCOLM MACDONALD Engineer and THE AUTOMATIC
AERATION COMPANY LIMITED Manufacturers both of 9 Great Newport Street
Charing Cross Road 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a means of connecting syphon heads to
bottles containing aerated liquids so that such heads may be easily disconnected
from and reconnected to said bottles in order that the bottles may be charged
through the neck instead of through the small spout as heretofore.
In order that our said invention may be better understood we will refer to the
drawing accompanying this Specification in which
Fig. 1 shews neck of a bottle with syphon head attached.
Figure 2 shews a section of our improved means of connecting the syphon
head and
Fig. 3 shews detached views hereafter referred to.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the views.
a shews ordinary syphon head. shews ring having an internal thread into
which the syphon head screws such head being provided with a male thread for
this purpose.
c is a divided collar having a flange d. In order to connect the
syphon head to the bottle the ring b is first dropped over the mouth of the bottle-
the divided collar c is then pushed or sprung over so that it rests on the internal
flange d of the ring a solid ring e is then passed round the divided collar
БО ДЯ
to prevent this latter from being forced over the shoulder of the bottle by the
pressure inside when the syphon head is screwed into the ring b which when done
will be securely connected to the bottle and can easily be screwed off for
recharging.
It is obvious that instead of making the divided collar as shewn at Fig. 3 it may
be made in two or more sections but we prefer it as shewn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
I. The means of connecting syphon heads to bottles containing aerated liquids
consisting of the ring 6 divided collar e with flange d and ring e all substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.
II. The means of connecting syphon heads to bottles for containing aerated
liquids substantially as set forth.

Improved Method of Reducing the Bulk of "Scrap" Iron or other
Metals.
I JAMES HENRY HUNT, of 135 High Street, Battersea, in the County of Surrey,
Metal Merchant, 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 method of reducing the bulk of " scrap
iron or other metals in order to facilitate the carriage of the same, owing to the
irregular contour of broken metal such as boiler plates iron pipes, roofing-lead, etc.,
which are only imperfectly broken up, the amount of space occupied by a load of
such material is greatly disproportionate to its weight and value, and for this
reason I propose to compress such material into reasonable compass before removing
the same.
The method of carrying out my invention will be readily understood from the
following drawing and description.
d
The drawing represents a hydraulic press consisting of a strong top plate a con-
nected by means of four pillars & with a base plate c which rests upon masonry
into which the cylinder e is sunk.
The plunger supports the movable plate y which is guided in its ascent and
descent by the pillars b.
The
A small pipe conducts the water to the cylinder e in the usual manner.
operation consists in piling the material upon the plate y until the space between
the said plate and the top plate a is completely filled.
The water is then turned on and the metal compressed as completely as possible,
after which the movable plate is allowed to descend and a fresh supply of metal
added to that already compressed and so on until no more metal can be added.
As in operation of this kind it will be found almost impossible to arrange the
metal upon the movable plate so as to equalize the strain over the whole surface,
it will probably be found advantageous to employ four cylinders arranged at
opposite sides of the press instead of a single central one as shown in the
drawing.
Other additions may also be made for the purpose of facilitating the removal of
the compressed metal.
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 method of reducing the bulk of "scrap" or broken metal substantially as
herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Iodine Soaps.
I, AUGUST SEIBELS of 42 Weberstrasse Berlin in the Kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire, 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 the manufacture of iodine soaps, and its object is to
ensure the existence of the iodine in the soaps uncombined with the alkalies used
in the saponification.
In proceeding according to these improvements, I first. iodise the fat fatty matter
or glycerides to be used in the manufacture of the soap by heating it to about
130 degrees C. (266 degrees Fahrenheit) and adding the desired amount of iodine
thereto, or by any other similar and suitable process.
The iodised glyceride fat or fatty matter is then mixed with lye or an alkali
solution and heated to form the soap as is usual in the saponification of non-iodised
glycerides.
By the hereinbefore described process of manufacture, the iodine is bound
in the soap without combining with the alkali to form a salt, and the soap
may be used for washing purposes and for other uses in substitution for other
iodine combinations.
The solution of the soap is clear and of a reddish brown colour.
It will be understood that the two processes of iodisation and of saponification
may be carried out in separate places and at separate times as may be convenient.
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 manufacture of iodine soaps hereinbefore described and which consists in
first iodising the glycerides (saponifiable fats or fatty matters) and in thereafter
saponifying the iodised glycerides; substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.

Method of Utilizing the "Weldon" Plant for the Manufacture of
Precipitated Phosphates.
I, PROSPER DE WILDE, of Avenue Louise, No. 345, Brussels, Professor of
Chemistry at the University of Brussels, 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 :-
In chemical works, where it may be decided to replace the "Weldon" process
by processes for the production of chlorine which utilise the hydrochloric acid more
effectually, the said abandoned apparatus may be advantageously utilised for the
preparation of diphosphate of lime, generally called "precipitated phosphate."
For this purpose the solution of natural phosphate in hydrochloric acid is effected
in the stills as also in the neutralising well. On the completion of this operation,
the acid solution is raised by means of the pump into the clarifying settlers.
After the suspended solid matter has become deposited, the solution is made to
flow into the oxidizing tower, where it is gradually mixed with the desired quantity
of milk of lime, which is prepared in apparatus on the spot, and forming part of the
Weldon" plant.
66
During the whole of the last operation air is forced into the compound for
producing as intimate a mixture as possible.
The liquid containing the precipitated phosphate is caused to flow down into the
"mud-settlers" where it is subjected to a series of decantations and washings for
depriving the phosphate of the chloride of calcium which accompanies it.
Lastly, the precipitated phosphate is passed into the filter press, and' is dried or
utilised in any of the known ways.
The clarifying settlers and the oxidizing tower should be lined with lead for
resisting the action of the acid medium.
The pump and its pipes should also be constructed of acid-resisting materials.
The carbonic acid which is given off abundantly from the stills when the natural
phosphate treated contains carbonate of lime, may, if desired, be utilised in any
known manner.
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 :-
The method of utilizing the "Weldon" plant for the manufacture of diphosphate
of lime, known as "precipitated phosphate," as heréin described.

I JOSEPH PILET, of 27 Rue Nysten, Liege, in the Kingdom of Belgium,
Mechanician, 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 governor or regulator equilibrium valves
for steam engines.
On the accompanying sheet of drawing :-
Figure 1 is a side view of my improved governor;
Figure 2 is a vertical section at a, b Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a horizontal section at c, d Figure 1;
Figure 4 shews the combination of a governor with valves with a ball governor.
The box A of the governor is placed directly upon the slide valve box and com-
municates, on one part with this box and on the other part, that is to say by the top,
with the steam port.
In this box A are fitted two equilibrium valves I and J, the first of which may
open downward, and the other upward; the rods of these valves are connected by
a Tshaped beam or balance E, Figure 2, fixed upon the axle K which extends
outside the box Figures 1 and 3.
Upon the axle K, outside of the box A, is fixed a lever P connected by hinging
to the rod of the ball or other governor of the engine. A weight B, Figure 1,
(shown in dotted lines Figure 2) fixed on the shaft K serves as counterweight
to the lever P.

speed of the engine slackens too much, the rod T of the governor is raised, the
valves I and J open further and admit a larger quantity of steam into the slide
valve box.
This governor may be applied to any kind of steam engine and be combined with
any ball or other governor.
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 :-
A valve governor for the admission of steam, composed of two valves I and J in
equilibrium, opening in contrary directions and connected by a beam E fixed on an
axle K actuated by the rod of a ball or other governor.

Improvements in relation to the Production of Colour Malt.
I CHARLES Hor of 69 & 70 Mark Lane London E.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 :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of colour malt, and the object of it is
to produce
a caramel malt containing the full extracts by which beer or other
malt liquors can be coloured to any desired colour and at the same time not com-
municate to the malt liquor the bitter and burnt tastes given to it by colour malt
prepared in the ordinary ways.
It is a well known fact that the starch flour of ordinary malt requires a very
bigh degree of temperature for its caramelization and is always bitter, while malt
sugar will assume a brown colour and become caramelized at a very low tempera-
ture and naturally remains sweet.
To effect the browning of the malt sugar it is necessary to bring the malt into
a moist condition quickly to a temperature of over 70° Celsius. The colour
will become the darker the more moisture it contains when brought up to that
temperature.
Up to now the saturating of malt for the purpose specified used not to be
effected, in order to change the starch-flour (before roasting it) into a soluble
substance capable of taking a brown colour at a low temperature, and thus
preventing it generating burnt substances by the process of roasting.
To attain above results the malt must be soaked for 25 to 30 hours in water
so as to liquify the diastase of the malt grain, and soften the starch flour in
such a way as to allow the two substances to act one upon the other and con-
sequently produce the saccharification. After 25 or 30 hours the malt is put
into a herinetically closed cylinder or roaster and there brought up to a tem-
perature of 60° to 70° Celsius and kept so for 2 hours to saccharify. Then
the temperature is somewhat increased up to 95° to 100° C., and the process of
roasting takes place at a low temperature.
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 way of preparing malt for the purpose of producing colour-malt
consisting in saturating it with water and to keep it for several hours in a
closed cylinder in a moist condition at a temperature of about 70° Celsius where-
upon it is roasted.
II. The process herein described of producing colour-malt, consisting in con-
verting the starch flour of soaked malt into sugar by heating it for some hours
in a closed cylinder up to 60° to 70° Celsius and then roasting it by increasing
the heat up to 95° to 100° Celsius.

Improvements in and connected with the Stoppers of Bottles and
other similar Vessels.
I, PETER STANG, Junior, of Stolberg, in the Kingdom of Prussia and German
Empire, Glass Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the stoppers of bottles and similar vessels and its object
is to enable the stopper to be used as a spoon or measuring apparatus for the
contents of the vessel in such a manner that any liquid or other contents of the
bottle which may adhere to the measuring apparatus after use will fall or flow back
into the bottles so that nothing is lost.
In the annexed drawings which illustrate in what manner this invention may be
carried into effect, and to which reference is hereinafter made,
Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections taken respectively at right angles, and
Figure 3 is a horizontal section along the line - Figure 2.
The bottle a which is preferably constructed with an expanded mouth a¹ is closed
by the stopper b at c. The upper part of the stopper is shaped to form a suitable
handle such as 6', and the lower part which is included within the vessel is shaped
so as to form, or may have secured to it, a measuring device which may be
arranged to hold only the definite quantity of the contents of the bottle which it is
intended to give out at once, or which may be made larger and be graduated
similarly to ordinary graduated measuring glasses, so that any desired quantity may
be measured out.
In the figures the measuring device is spoon shaped and this shape will be found
commonly useful.
In using the apparatus the stopper bis withdrawn from the bottle and the exact
quantity of the contents of the bottle desired is poured into the measure. When
the measure has been emptied, the stopper is returned to the bottle which is thus
sealed, and any fluid or other material which may adhere to the measure 611 will
flow or fall from the measure which is now in a vertical position, into the bulk
contained in the bottle so that nothing is lost.
The measure being always connected to the bottle cannot easily be lost or
mislaid and is always where required, and no separate spoon or measure is
needed.
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 stopper for a bottle or similar vessel, having a measure formed or fixed upon
its inner end, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

I FREDERICK GEORGE FOSTER 131 Westmoreland Road Walworth London
S.E. Engineer and GEORGE OTTEN 16 Guerin Street Malmesbury Road Bow
London Engineer and HARRY ARNOLD 95 Waterloo Street Camberwell Green
Surrey 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 :-
A steel bar with a thread at one end; at the other end a single edged claw or
clutch bent upward as shewn in Figure 4. A second claw, doubled edged, shape
shewn by Figure 1 affixed to the steel bar Figure 4 as depicted by dotted lines in
Figure 4, the claw Figure 1 being held firmly to the steel bar by the small steel
pin Figure 9 perforating the large steel bar, the pin being held by a split pin yet
leaving room for play for the under claw Figure 1.
Figure No. 2 shews the shape of the under claw in another position to illustrate
the manner of fixing it upon the large steel bar. The under claw being movable, is
so controlled by a spring placed upon the topside of the large steel bar in such a
position as to regulate the action and strength of the under claw Figure 1 upon any
ring, ferrule or bush. The withdrawing power is a nut and washer placed upon
the thread and turned to any power by a spanner, lever or any other power.
All figures mentioned relate to annexed drawings.
The claw end of the tool is placed within the tube from which either ring ferrule
or bush is to be extracted the thread end protuding outside.
An iron plate bent at both ends with a hole in the centre is first placed upon the
thread end of the tool secondly a steel washer thirdly a steel nut, the nut is turned
by a spanner so as to work up the thread thus withdrawing the ring ferrule or
bush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-

I GEORGE ALFRED HARVEY (of the firm of Harvey & Co.) of 65 Loampit
Vale Lewisham in the County of Kent Metal Workers do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows
--
This invention refers to the metal plates employed in bee hives for excluding
the queen and drone bee from the honey.
Hitherto it has been usual to supply metal in sheets to be cut up into pieces of
suitable size by which method the edges of the excluder have been rough.
Now according to this invention I make the excluder of suitable size and turn
over or suitably bind the edges of the metal so as to make such edges smooth such
excluder being then ready for use.

An Improved Exhaust Ventilator.
DIDRIKUS PETRUS HERMANOS HASSELMAN of Haarlemmer Houttuinen 69,
Amsterdam, Holland, 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 ventilator forming the subject of my present invention and which is illustrated
in Fig. 1 in cross section and in plan in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings
consists of two hollow cones A and B placed vertically with their larger ends
exactly opposite each other, and connected by iron bars C in such a manner that
the cones do not touch each other. Consequently an annular opening D is formed,
surrounded by a ring E; this ring being made of two truncated concs closing on
each other and the said ring connected with the cone A by the equidistant
partitions F.
The cone B is cut off and connected with its smallest opening on the tube G.
The conical ring or gallery H prevents the entrance of rain or snow which might
be carried up by whirlwinds.
The cones I and J are purely ornamental, they have no influence whatever on
the working of the apparatus, so that they may be dispensed with.
If the wind should strike the ventilator in a horizontal direction a vacuum is
created (the intensity of which is quite dependent on the velocity of the wind) at
the annular openings K and L, formed by the ring E and the cones A and B.
The section of these openings is seven times as large as that of the inlet tube G
hence the air is carried off with great velocity by way of this tube.
The same thing occurs when the wind owing to local circumstances should strike
the ventilator from above or below and enters through the openings K and L. In
the latter case the vacuum is created in the annular opening D the surface area of
which is twice the sectional area of the tube G.
As may be seen from this description and the drawing herewith the regular
working of this ventilator is quite independent of its situation, or the direction of
the wind, thereby showing a marked improvement on the old system, moreover the
effect is much greater as in this ventilator the places where a vacuum is created, are
of larger dimensions.
The construction being very simple, the price is much lower.
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 :-
:-
An exhaust ventilator consisting of two hollow cones, the lower one being
inverted and provided with an annular ring or gallery at or near its upper edge the
said cones being secured at a short distance apart and having an annular conical
ring surrounding the opening at a suitable distance therefrom together with an
inlet pipe inserted in the lower of the said cones the whole being constructed
arranged and operating substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Stucco for Plastering.
I, EDWARD OLSON, of Jewell Junction, in the County of Hamilton and State
of Iowa, United States of America, 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 relates to a composition of matter for mixing stucco for plastering
purposes, and it consists of the following ingredients in the proportions hereinafter
set forth, to-wit-Hickory-bark, one ounce; slippery elm bark, one ounce; pine-

tar, one ounce; alum, one-half ounce; white glue, four ounces.
latter ingredient, one teaspoonful of skunk-oil may be used.
The above-named ingredients are to be thoroughly mixed with one pint of water
and boiled until the latter is reduced to one-half pint. The material is then
strained into twenty pints of pure water and the compound is then ready for use.
In using my improved compound ordinary stucco and sand are mixed in equal
quantities and moistened with the liquid compound to the proper consistency. It
may then be used in the ordinary manner for plastering one or more coats being
applied, as may be desired.
This compound may be used in lieu of cement for floors, walls, ceilings, and the
like, and it will set and harden very quickly. A facing of plaster-of-paris
moistened with the same liquid may, when desired, be applied as a finishing, and
this facing may be mixed with colouring matter or pigment of any desired kind.
The colouring matter, instead of being mixed with the plaster, may be afterward
applied as a paint, and the surface may be finely polished with castor-oil mixed
with Brazilian-gum mucilage.
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 herein-described compound, consisting of a decoction of hickory-bark,
slippery elm bark, pine-tar, alum, Brazilian gum, and white glue, with water, in
about the proportions described, for the purpose set forth.
