A NEW OR IMPROVED TORCH AND COMPOSITION FOR SAME
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the City of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for A NEW OR IMPROVED
TORCH AND COMPOSITION FOR SAME, a communication to me from abroad by
Johann Dax, Manufacturer, of Köln, Germany, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The torch in question is especially useful for military purposes, on railways, in
mines and fire-stations, and presents the following advantages over the pitch and
petroleum torches now in use.
It is strong, very portable, can easily be lighted in the heaviest wind or rain,
burns with a clear, white and very intense light, and never goes out when once
lighted. The torch consists of four parts, namely:
1) The handle a made of wood and running to a point at its lower extremity by
which the torch is held, or stuck into the ground or elsewhere.
2) The tube b is made of sheet-zinc, of a diameter of 3 centimetres and about
1 metre long; it is filled up to the upper rim with a peculiar inflammable compo-
sition c on the upper surface of which the lighter is fastened in a suitable manner.
3) The cover d for protecting the composition when the torch is put away or
being carried.
4) The dripping pan s which is movable on the zinc tube of the torch. The
way in which these parts are combined will be understood from the accompanying
drawing.
Fig 1 is a front view of the torch.
Fig 2 is a section of the same.
Figs 3 and 4 a side view and plan of the dripping pan.
When the torch is put by or carried, the tube b is closed by the cover & which
is taken off; when the torch is to be used.
A suitable composition for filling the zinc-tube consists principally of
3 parts of sulphur
12 parts of saltpetre
1 part of sulphuret of antimony
2 parts of Realgar
1 part of zinc-tilings.
This composition as it burns away, consumes the zinc tube containing it without
melting or heating the lower end very much.
Of course other compositions could be used.

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. A torch composed of a pointed handle a, and a zinc tube b filled with an
inflammable composition capable of fusing said tube and provided with a sheet-
zinc cover d and a movable dripping pan s.
2. The composition, consisting essentially of 3 parts of sulphur, 12 parts of
saltpetre, 1 part of sulphuret of antimony, 2 parts of Realgar, and 1 part of zinc-
filings, so compounded that, as it burns away, it consumes the zinc-tube b containing
it which thus serves to intensify the light.

declare the nature of our invention for "AN IMPROVED SHAVING TOOL FOR THE
USE OF BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS" and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this invention is to construct a convenient and readily adjustable
tool to be used by boot and shoe makers for shaving or paring the edges of the
soles and heels of boots and shoes in the process of manufacture.
The particular construction of our improved shaving tool for this purpose will
be readily understood on reference to the illustrative drawings hereto annexed and
the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. is a front view of the tool.
Fig. 2. is an underneath view of the same. Fig. 3 is a back view and Fig 4.
a section taken through about the centre of the tool.
The body of the tool is made with two handles, a, a¹, the latter being curved as
shown at Figs 1 and 3 so as to allow of the tool being worked round the waist of
the boot or shoe and a lip b, b is provided (see Fig. 1.) to prevent the possibility
of the edge of the knife cutting the upper leather.
The shaving knife c, c is made partly flat and partly curved the former part for
shaving the edges of the soles and latter for shaving the concave edge of the heels.
The shaving knife is held in its place (when adjusted) by means of a clamp d, d
which is fixed by two screws e, e in a suitable recess in the body of the tool;
ff is a guard for regulating the depth of the cut, or the thickness of the shaving;
it is held in its place by two screws g g and a piece of india rubber (or other
suitable elastic material) is placed between it and the body so as to give a certain
amount of elasticity thereto and allow of its adjustment by tightening or slack-
ening the screws g. g. so as to allow the shaving knife c, c to take a thicker or
thinner shaving as may be required.

page_text: 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
First the general construction of adjustable shaving tool adapted for shaving
the edges of boot soles and heels as berein-before particularly described and
illustrated by the drawings annexed.
Secondly we claim the combination of the curved handle a¹ which allows of
shaving the edges of the sole at the waist of the boot or shoe with the lip b which
prevents the corner of the shaving knife from cutting the upper leather.
Thirdly the adjustable guard f,f with its bed of india rubber or other suitable
elastic material and
Fourthly the peculiar form of the shaving knife which renders it suitable both
for shaving the edges of the soles and also for shaving the concave edges of the
heels.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LAMP BURNERS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JOHN DYER, of Sidmouth Devon and No 5 Chancery Lane, London, Gentle-
man, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
LAMP BURNERS," to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to lamps for domestic or similar purposes in which the
light is derived from oil or spirit capable of giving off an inflammable gas or
vapour at a slightly elevated temperature.
My improvements have reference to a novel form of burner or wick-holder which
consists of a tube narrow at the bottom so as to grip the wick tightly and gradually
widening towards the top where it is covered with a perforated cap removable at
pleasure.
When the cap is removed the lamp burns with a faint glimmer suitable for a
night light, but if the cap is placed on the top of the tube, and a light applied, the
heat causes the volatile gas or vapour to ascend and ignite, and the flame given off
heats the tube, causing more gas or vapour to be generated until the pressure is
sufficient to maintain a steady and luminous flame.

the board, the seam or joining of the covering marked the piece.
My invention consists in covering the making up board with a seamless cover, as
a protection to the piece wound round the same, not only from the wood of the
board, but from the marking of the piece by the use of a cover with a seam or joint.
The seamless cover may be made in the same way as seamless Rice or Sugar bags
are made, or otherwise, and of 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 covering of making up boards for piece goods with a seamless cover sub-
stantially as and for the purpose herein described.

of being the same size from end to end, are made larger in the middle with a
shoulder at each end to fit in slots of the body of the Expander so that two or
three sets of rollers varying in size will fit in the same slots, as shewn by letter A
in the Drawing.
2nd Feature is that one roller is set a little askew, as shewn by letter B.
3rd Feature is that a collar and cotter pin are used on the end of the centre pin
to prevent its drawing out until required to change the rollers, as shewn by
letter C.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ARTIFICIAL ROCKWORK & GROUND
Year: 1885

page_text: and Ground.
I, JAMES ROWLAND WARD of 166 Piccadilly, London W. Naturalist do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
ARTIFICIAL ROCKWORK & GROUND and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The material used in the manufacture of the artificial rockwork or ground is
prepared as follows-To paper or suitable textile fabric, preferably canvas I attach
by means of paste or other substance of a glutinous nature cocoa nut fibre in a
finely divided state; the material may then be cut into pieces of suitable size and
fashioned into various forms to imitate natural rockwork or ground, to be used in
the art of mounting stuffed animals. On account of the colour of the cocoa nut
fibre, painting is rendered unnecessary, though a little colouring may be occasionally
added to heighten effect.
The use of this material in preference to the process of building up the rock
& groundwork with brown paper, size, whitening sand and other materials, as
formerly adopted involves a large saving in expense, & in time, as it is ready for
use immediately, instead of requiring several days to dry at different stages of the
operation. I also sometimes use sand in place of the cocoa nut fibre to vary the
character of the ground.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination of cocoa nut fibre in a finely divided state, or sand, on a
backing of paper or suitable textile fabric for the purpose substantially as set forth.
2. The application of a material composed of cocoa nut fibre or sand on a backing
of paper or suitable textile fabric for use in the production of artificial rockwork
and ground substantially as set forth.

JOHN BARTLEY 30 Lavender Street Brighton Dyer and Cleaner and FREDERICK
BEST of 19 Shaftsbury Road Brighton Clerk, all in the County of Sussex, Trading
under the name of The Brighton Sanitary Laundry Blue Company 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:
This Invention has for its object improvements in the ingredients combined in
ordinary or special makes of laundry blue whether in the solid or liquid formn by
combining therewith a disinfectant whereby the articles which are being rinsed in
this blue water are at the same time disinfected.
"
In carrying our invention into practice we add mix and combine with laundry
blue (advantageously liquid blue") of any manufacture a disinfectant such as
permanganate of potash in varying proportions according to requirements. In our
special make of liquid aniline blue we combine one ounce of permanganate of
potash or thereabouts with one gallon of our said blue but in other manufactures
of blue this quantity will vary according to the strength of the blue.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we desire to state that
we make no claim to any of the ingredients separately which are well known
and in common use but what we claim is
The combination of a disinfectant such as permanganate of potash with liquid
aniline laundry blue or other solid or liquid laundry blue substantially as herein-
before described,

page_text: I PHILIP ARTHUR NEWTON of the Office for Patents, 6 Bream's Buildings
Chancery Lane in the County of Middlesex Patent Agent 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 thrashing machines as at present constructed, the three "swinging" parts
(viz., the shaking or screening box, the reciprocating table, and the principal or
large sieve) are operated from a special crank shaft, whilst for the operating of the
straw shaker, a second crank shaft is employed.
The present invention has for its object to operate the straw shaker by means
of a crank shaft, and from the straw shaker itself to transmit motion to the several
swinging" parts, thereby obviating the necessity for employing a second
crank shaft.
་
The accompanying drawing shews in longitudinal section a thrashing machine
examplifying the invention, and provided with a thrashing drum and concave of
the ordinary construction, a straw shaker a operated by a crank shaft a¹, a shaking
or screening box b, a reciprocating table c suitably hung below the straw shaker
and a sieve d. The chain of buckets for carrying the grain to the shaking box b
is not shown.
The swinging frame which carries the box b is connected with the straw shaker a
by means of the rigid rod e, and the table c is. connected rigidly with the box b
by means of the rod e¹; and the sieve d is connected with the straw shaker a by
means of the rod e. It will therefore be seen that a reciprocating motion imparted
to the straw shaker a from the crank shaft a¹, will be communicated, through the
rods e, e¹, and e³, to all the swinging parts of the machine.
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 Correspondents, I declare that what I claim is
In thrashing machines, the transmission of the "swinging" or rocking movement
from the straw shaker to the "swinging" parts in the manner shewn and described,
in order to save the necessity of a special driving mechanism for these parts.
Dated this 20th day of October 1885.
