IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER AND IN THE MACHINERY CONNECTED THEREWITH
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I JOSEPH DIXON of Oughtibridge in the County of York Paper Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF PAPER AND IN THE MACHINERY CONNECTED THEREWITH 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 improvements in papermaking machinery, by which
the manufacture of paper is improved. The object of my invention is to produce a
more efficient "felting" or coalition of the fibres of the pulp, and thus increasing
the strength of the paper and producing an effect hitherto only partially attained
in machine made paper, and giving to such paper a closer resemblance to paper made
by hand.
My invention consists in the application of one or more streams of air, or other
fluid impelled from a suitable mouthpiece (or mouthpieces) upon the surface of
the pulp as it passes from the slice to the couch rolls, in conjunction with (or
without) a similar application of air or other fluid close under the pulp, on or
against the underside of the machine wire.
In carrying my invention into practice I support one or more suitable mouth-
pieces preferable formed like a tube or pipe, closely over the wet pulp and extending
across the breadth of the wire from side to side of the paper machine and
connected by pipes to a fan or other suitable blower. The aperture in the mouth-
piece (or in the mouthpieces) may be made adjustable so that it can be opened to
any desired width, or so arranged that the pressure of the air upon the pulp may
be regulated by the elevation or depression of the tube. Instead of a long aperture,
a series of short slits or holes may be used. When the pulp flows under the slice
on to the machine wire, the fibres of the pulp are drawn out in a line parallel with
the course of the wire, an effect which is only slightly rectified by the “shake;"
but by the action of the stream of air impelled against it, the pulp is more effectually
felted or matted together than heretofore.
If it is found desirable an additional stream of air may be impelled against the
underside of the machine wire as before mentioned to prevent any chance of the
pulp being forced through the mesh of the wire gauze, and also to aid in some
measure the operation of the air acting on the top side of the wire.

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 :-
In the manufacture of paper, the application of one or more jets or streams of air
or other suitable fluid impelled upon one or both surfaces of the pulp, as it passes 5
between the slice and the couch rolls, for the purpose and substantially as herein-
before described.
AN IMPROVED PROCESS OF PRESERVING THE EDIBLE PARTS OF FISH
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I BONDY AZULAY of Number Seven Barnsbury Street, in the Parish of
St. Mary Islington, London, N. Inventor and Patentee do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED PROCESS OF PRESERVING THE EDIBLE
PARTS OF FISH and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
I separate the Bones from the Flesh (hereafter in this Specification called
"Meat") of Fish, I mince this Meat rather fine. I prepare this minced Meat in
several ways, according wether the Meat is to be consumed soon after it is
prepared, or to be Stored. If intended to go into consumption within a fortuight
after its being prepared; I proceed in the following Manner, I mix with the
minced Meat one quarter its weight the Crumbs of Bread, or other farinaceous or
Starchy edible Substances, such as Potatoes, Rice, Maize, Arrow root, and other
similar Matter, also Salt, Pepper and other Spices, and a small quantity of Mustard
as prepared for the Table. I find that this last mentioned Condiment improves
the flavor of Fish. I then fill prepared Gut with the prepared Fish-Meat,
devide the filled Gut into Short lengths, the Fish-Meat is then ready for the
Market For Storing I do not mix any starchy matter with the Minced Meat but
I increase the Spices both in quantity and pungency. I then place the prepared
Meat in. Tinplate Trays supported on Racks in a Smoke Chamber. If it is desired
to expedite the "Curing" Process in the Smoke-Chamber, then the bottoms of the
Trays should be perforated, or made of tinned Wire so that the Smoke may act
through the perforations on the Meat. As soon as I find that the Meat is
sufficiently "Cured I remove it from the Trays, press it into prepared Gut,
devide into suitable lengths and place there again in the Smoke Chamber.in order
that the Gut may also be acted on by the Smoke. .
I will now remark that the Fish-Meat pressed into Gut without being Cured in
the Smoke Chamber, may afterwards treated that way, if it should be so desired
but if cooked without being Smoked it will taste like fresh Fish.
The Fish-Meat treated as described for Storing will keep in a. fit state' for
human consumption for twelve Month' in any Climate and is therefore very
suitable for long Voyages..
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
Price 9.11

page_text: Claim is; The treating of Fish-Meat by Mincing, mixing with it Bread Crumbs, or
their equivalents, seasoning the minced Meat with Spices and_Condiments and
filling prepared Gut with the Meat thus prepared.
Secondly-To submit finely devided" (minced) -Fish-Meat to the preserving
action of Smoke.
Thirdly-The use of Trays to carry minced Food in the Smoke Chamber.

AN IMPROVED LIVE BAIT TACKLE FOR PIKE TROUT AND OTHER FISHING
Year: 1884

page_text: I WILLIAM ALEXANDER MARTIN of 3 London Road in the Town and County of
Derby Fishing Tackle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for AN IMPROVED LIVE BAIT TACKLE FOR PIKE TROUT AND OTHER FISHING to be
as follows:
This invention has for its object the construction of a live bait tackle for pike
trout or like fishing in which live baits are used and is designed to avoid torturing
such fish as are used as live baits by putting them on hooks.
By my invention the fish bait is not pierced with hooks and thereby not hurt by
the same and keeps alive a much longer period until taken than if wounded by
being hooked.
In carrying my invention into practice I arrange a small cradle preferably of
bright thin metal in which I make holes through which passes a wire or gimp loop
connected to hooks on each side of the cradle with their points away from the
cradle.
The other ends of the gimp are secured to and pass through the eyes of the
hooks to a spring or other swivel for attachment to the line a slide being fitted on
the gimps.
Holes are made at the ends of the cradle and a cord or band passed through to
form a loop at each end. The fish is placed on its belly in the cradle and the head
and tail passed through the loops which are drawn tight and the end of the cord or
band secured round a cleat underneath the cradle.
The slide is pulled down the gimp, and the fish being now secure can swim about
when thrown in.

IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR ACTUATING SHIPS PUMPS BY PENDULUMS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, THOMAS SLOANE, 52 Canal Road, Mileend Road, E. London, in the county of
Middlesex, Ships Plumber & Painter, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR ACTUATING SHIPS PUMPS BY
PENDULUMS, to be as follows:-
HEAVY
This invention refers to an apparatus for actuating the pumps of a ship by the
rolling of the ship. An axle is placed across. from one stanchion to another. To
the centre of the axle, which is flattened out, the bar of the pendulum is connected
by a bolt so that it can swing along the axis. The bar extends down close to the
deck, and at the lower end of bean there is a flat support for cast iron weights
which are placed on both sides of the bar. The size of these weights depends on
the pumps to be worked. The pumps are actuated by cranks on the ends of the
axle as shewn in the drawing. When the ship rolls the pendulum retains as nearly
as possible its perpendicular position, and thereby communicates motion to the
pumps. The barrels of the pumps are bolted down to the deck. The apparatus
can be fitted to any ships pumps with very slight alteration.

IMPROVEMENTS IN WARP LACE
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN COLLIS THORNTON, of the town and county of the town of Nottingham,
Lace Manufacturer, of 25 Cooper Street, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WARP LACE, 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, the production by warp lace machines of laces
similar to those made by the crochet hook. This I effect by means of two sets of
threads, one set I will call net threads, and the other set, chain stitch, or pillaring
threads.
Figure 1 is an enlarged view shewing the respective position of each thread as it
is laid. round the needles C, or runs by the side of the needles at each succeeding
course. I employ four guide bars, the guides in each bar being supplied with
threads from spools or warp beams, each guide bar being traversed independently
by & jacquard in the usual way. The threads No. 1 and 2, each carried by a
separate guide bar commence to make net by the number 1 threads being lapped
over the needles from right to left, and the number 2 threads from left to right,
each continuing as shewn at Figure 1. At the same time the threads number 3
are laid to the left of their needles, and the threads number 4 to the right of their
needles, each continuing as shewn in the Figure within the pillars while the net is
being made. The threads number 1 and 2 are then thrown out of work, while the
chain stitch pillaring threads 3 and 4 make as many courses of pilluring, as may
be required, (six courses only are shewn at Figure 1), then the net threads again
commence to make net and at the first course A, the chain stitch pillaring B, just
made, is dragged up by the net threads into the form of bows, loops, or purls, and
the movements are repeated. One such piece of improved warp lace is shewn at
Figure 2, which represents a square warp net D well known in the trade as two
bar net, in combination with a chain stitch pillaring B formed by the threads
supplied from the guides of two other bars, which is shewn in Figure 2 as drawn
up in the form of loops, bows, or purls, at the centre of the pillar of the net.
But I do not confine myself to the form of the net shewn, or to the position or
number, of the loops, bows, or. purls on the net produced.

page_text: By such means I am enabled to produce a great variety of nets and fancy
open work hitherto unknown in the lace trade.
Having now particularly described and ascertained my said Invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed; I do not claim for making chain
stitch pillaring or net; but what I do claim is for dragging up the chain stitch
pillaring into loops bows, or purls, in or upon warp net.

IMPROVED MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE CARBON FILAMENTS OF INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LAMPS TO THEIR CONDUCTING WIRES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL of N° 28 Southampton Buildings Chancery Lane
in the County of Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVED MEANS FOR CONNECTING
THE CARBON FILAMENTS OF INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LAMPS TO THEIR CONDUCTING
WIRES and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
"
According to the present Invention the connections between the carbon filament
of an incandescent electric lamp and the platinum conducting wires passing
through the glass bulb are made as follows.
The ends of the platinum wires are hammered flat and are helically coiled round
the ends of the carbon filament. These coils are then electrolytically coated with
copper, so as to establish a firm connection between them and the carbon filament,
leaving however the extreme ends of the coils, which are in direct contact with
the incandescent filament without such coating. The above described improved
connection offers considerable advantages; it contains only a small quantity of
gases, of which it can be freed in a short space of time, it is very strong and can
be readily manufactured; in the immediate vicinity of the carbon it is of a
sufficiently heat resisting nature, as it consists at that point of refractory material
(platinum) while the high conducting powers of the copper coating enable it
readily to lead off the heat produced in the platinum extremities by their contact
with the carbon. By this perfect conduction of the heat, the heat resisting
qualities of the platinum extremities are greatly increased. By means of this
Invention there is consequently produced a connection having the combination of
heat resisting and good conducting qualities. The coating of copper is by
preference carried down to the point where the glass is melted on to the wire.
Although it is preferred to employ platinum and copper as the two metals for
forming the connection, yet it will be evident that other suitable refractory metals
may be employed in place of the platinum, and other suitable conducting metals
in place of the copper.

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 in respect of the connection of the carbon filaments of incandescent
electric lamps with their conducting wires, is :-
The use of a combination of a heat resisting metal such as platinum, with a 5
good heat conducting metal, such as copper, substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth.

Year: 1884

page_text: I ASTLEY PASTON PRICE of 47 Lincolns Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN RECOVERING AND OBTAINING TIN. FROM TINNED METALLIC SURFACES " to be as
follows:-
<
This Invention relates to the effecting the recovery and the obtaining of Tin
from the surfaces of tinned metals..
In carrying out my Invention the superficially tinned metals are placed in a
suitable vessel and constitute one element of a Galvanic or Electric Battery when
connected by means of what is known as an Electrical connector or conductor with
another Element, such element being for example Carbon.
These Elements are brought into contact with a solution of caustic Alkali, such
for example as soda and by reason of the galvanic or electric action induced, the
external surface of Tin is rendered soluble in the alkaline solution from which the
Tin may be obtained either by electro deposition or otherwise-Or the Electric or
Galvanic force or current necessary to effect the desired result may be induced by
the employment of a Dynamo-Electric Machine or other Electric Generator whereby
the superficial coating of Tin will be rendered soluble in the Alkaline solution an i
will be capable of being dissolved in the Caustic Alkaline Solution-Caustic Soda
for example-from which solution the Tin may be obtained either by means of
galvanic or electric Agency or otherwise.

IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO SAFETY OR SPRING PINS
Year: 1884

page_text: I HENRY HARRIS LAKE of the firm of Haseltine Lake & C° Patent Agents
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature
of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO SAFETY OR SPRING
PINS," 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 safety or spring pins and particularly to the formation
of the blanks for the shields of the same and to the construction of the shields from
such blanks. By means of the said Invention a strong and graceful shield is
produced without the use of solder.
Shields for safety pins have heretofore been made of various forms and from
various kinds of blanks, but it is believed the present shield. possesses advantages
not found in any other.
In the accompanying Drawing
Figure 1 is a plan of the blank from which the shield is formed.
Figure 2 shows the blank bent to form a shield, and
Figure 3 is a side view of a pin with the shield attached.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several Figures.
In the construction of the shield I first, by suitable dies, make a blank A, from
any desirable sheet metal; this blank is formed with two upper curves a b;'
diverging angular sides c d, lower curves e and f, and a base curve g.
The blank so formed is next, under suitable dies, drawn up as shown in Figure 2,
making a shield B for the safety pin, which shield is afterwards secured in any
suitable manner to the end of the unsharpened member h of the safety pin.
.
The advantages arising from constructing a shield, from the blank drawn up as
herein before described, are the ease and smoothness with which the several parts of
the blank are drawn together, the almost imperceptible joints or seams at the
intersection of the several curves and angles, and the increased stiffness and beauty
of outline imparted to the shield, rendering it more desirable than shields of any
ordinary construction, which have heretofore been made by folding (not drawing)
the blanks.

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 :-
First A blank for the shield of a safety pin having curves a and b, diverging
angular sides c and d, lower curves e and f, and a base curve g, substantially as
described..
Second In a safety pin a shield B formed from the blank hereinbefore
described.

Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED ROLLER
BLIND 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 an improved Roller blind particularly applicable to
Railway carriages and consists in providing the Roller with a weight which may
be of lead or any other suitable metal or material preferably let into a groove or
recess extending the entire length of the roller but which may be placed at
intervals on the same line and be otherwise attached to the roller. The object of
this weight being to counterpoise that of the blind at any height to which it may
be drawn it having also the further advantage that should the blind cord break the
blind will not run down beyond one turn of the roller and may be easily wound
up by turning the roller by hand.
My Invention also comprises a modification of the ordinary pin or axle consisting
in giving it an irregular contour preferably a triangular or V shape.
My Invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
sheet of Drawings upon which
Figure 1 is a front view of a roller blind weighted according to my Invention.
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
Figure 3 an end view and Figure 4 an end view of a Blind roller having a pin
or axle of a triangular or V shape.

G Bracket for carrying roller.
H. Pin or axle of blind roller having a triangular or V shape.
A senming the blind C to be down and that it is desired to raise it the cord F is
pulled rotating the pulley E and roller A upon which the blind winds; upon the
cord being released the descent of the blind is arrested by the resistance of the
counterpoise B.

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
