Improvements in or relating to Garnett Teeth for the Licker-in
Rollers of Carding Engines.
I, HERMANN ROBERT PAMPEL, of Adorserstrasse 11, Chemnitz, in the Kingdom
of Saxony and 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 Garnett teeth for the licker-in rollers of carding engines,
and its object is to facilitate the attachment of the teeth to the rollers.
In carrying out these improvements, the teeth are formed upon a continuous strip
of thin steel which is wound spirally around the roller and secured thereto at
intervals by means of pins or nails driven through holes formed in the horizontal
portion of the angle strip into wood plugs let into the rollers.
I will more particularly describe my said invention with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
In these drawings,
Figure 1 shews a longitudinal section through a part of one side of a licker-in
roller fitted with Garnett teeth according to this invention.
Figure 2 is a partial section taken at right angles to Figure 1.
The teeth B, are cut upon a continuous length of thin angle steel, of which the
horizontal part F, has a width equal to the distance between the teeth on the roller
measured longitudinally.
Holes are formed in this part of the strip at suitable distances apart, and wood
plugs C, are let into the roller in such positions that the holes or some of the
holes in the strip will come over the plugs, in order that pins or nails D, may be
driven through the holes into the plugs for the purpose of securing the toothed
strip upon the roller.
In attaching the toothed strip to the roller, one end of it is pinned or nailed to a
plug at one end of the roller, or is clamped to one end of the roller, and the strip is
then wound upon the roller with the horizontal part in one turn, close to the angle
of the previous turn or spiral as indicated by Figure 1. The distance between the
teeth, which are formed upon the vertical part of the angle strip, may thus be
accurately preserved, and no skill is required in clothing the roller. The pins or
nails D, require to be driven through the part F, into the wood plugs, only at such
distances or intervals as may be necessary for securing the strip firmly upon the
roller.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Garnett teeth for the licker-in rollers of carding engines, formed upon a
continuous strip of thin angle steel and secured to the roller substantially as
herein before described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Carving Fork.
1, MARY LUCRETIA KESTEVEN 1 Lansdowne Terrace Hampton Wick Surrey
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 is designed to provide a simple and effective method of securing
the hand guard of the carving fork in an erect position during the time the fork
is in use, and that when not in use the guard may be conveniently laid down upon
the body of the fork.
By this invention I maintain the guard in its erect position by means of a
blocking bar, which is secured to the body of the fork by a pin upon which it is
moveable. When this blocking bar is turned upon its pin axis in the direction of
the guard about half a circle, it blocks against the guard, and prevents it falling
forwards. I make the front side of the guard thickened in its lower part, and in
such a manner that a small table is formed for the blocking bar to rest upon, and I
further provide, that when the blocking bar is resting upon this table, it shall be
in such a position that the pressure upon it shall be in the direction of a straight
line through it, or nearly so, thus preventing it being forced upwards or downwards.
I make the blocking bar with horns at the end so that when laid down in its
unused position these horns rest upon the prongs of the fork & prevent the bar
from passing through them.

Improved Means for Diffusing Scent or Perfume.
We THOMAS BAGE BLYTON and FREDERICK ASPINALL ASTLEY both of
76 Gordon Street Broughton in the County of Lancaster, Pharmaceutical
Chemists, 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 ready means for absorbing and
diffusing scent or perfume of all kinds in such a way that it can be used for the
handkerchief or for perfuming the most costly laces or other costly fabrics or
materials or carried in the pocket or otherwise without the slightest fear of injury
to the most delicate fabrics or materials.
For the purposes of our invention we provide tablets discs, balls or other suitably
formed pieces of biscuit china or other unglazed and porous earthenware and we
soak saturate, or otherwise impregnate the same with the scent or perfume prepared
in a concentrated form, and the biscuit china or other porous earthenware having
great properties of absorption will take up and retain for a considerable time the
scent or perfume and (especially when exposed to warmth) will diffuse or give off
the scent very gradually so that its effect will last for a long time and all injury to
fine or delicate laces, silks cambric or other materials, often occasioned by
sprinkling thereon the spirituous essences usually employed, will be entirely
prevented.
When the biscuit china, or other earthenware tablets, discs, or other pieces have
been saturated or otherwise impregnated with the scent or perfume as above
described they are wrapped in envelopes of tin or lead foil, waterproof paper, or
other impervious material so that they can be stored for sale or transport without
fear of losing or parting with their perfume even if kept for a considerable time
and when required for use the foil or other envelope is removed or loosened and
they will then slowly and gradually diffuse their scent or perfume until it is entirely
exhausted.
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 :-
D
The manufacture and use of tablets, discs, slabs, balls or other convenient forms
of biscuit china or other suitable porous or unglazed earthenware saturated or
impregnated with scents or perfumes substantially in the manner and for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Ink-stands.
I, ADOLF SCHNELLEN, of Crefeld, in the Province of the Rhine, Kingdom of
Prussia, German Empire, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved form of ink stand made in two parts, a glass
vessel containing the ink with a well-shaped base and a cup or shallow funnel fitting
in the same.
In order to make my invention more fully intelligible, I will proceed to describe
one method of carrying my invention into effect, reference being made to the
accompanying drawing, similar letters of reference being used to denote similar
parts throughout the several figures.
Fig. 1 is an elevation in section,
Fig. 2 an elevation of the same showing a slight modification in the cup, and
Fig. 3 is a plan of the ink stand as shown in Fig. 1.
The glass vessel b is provided down its full depth with a screw thread in which
work the threads of a shallow cup or funnel a provided at its middle with an
orifice of just such sufficient size as to permit a part of the pen to be dipped into
the ink contained in said vessel b. The cup a can be screwed vertically up or down
the vessel b according to the quantity of ink in the latter by means of two
projections a² a² attached thereto which projections can be made either as shown in
Fig. 1 or in Fig. 2. The base 61 of vessel b is shaped to correspond to a lower part of
the cup a and forms thus a well 63, it being thus possible to use the ink up to the
last drop, the well being naturally vertical under the orifice of cup a. A small air
hole c is also provided in the cup a.
The advantages of this ink stand are obvious namely no waste of ink or soiling of
the fingers as only a part of the pen can reach the ink, the pen holder itself not
coming in contact with the sides of the vessel.
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. In ink stands the combination of a vessel b and a shallow cup or funnel a
capable of moving vertically up or down in the same, substantially as and for the
purpose herein set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. In ink-stands, the combination of a glass vessel provided with a screw thread
down its entire depth and a shallow cup also provided with a screw thread moving
vertically in the same, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
3. In ink stands, the use of a glass vessel the sides of which themselves are shaped
to form a threaded surface, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth
with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Suspenders for Umbrella Sticks and other
articles.
I, JAMES GOODWIN of 35 and 36 Hosier Lane, West Smithfield, in the City
of London, Drapers' Stand 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 is designed to suspend umbrellas, sticks and other articles
especially for exhibition in shops and the like.
Referring to the accompanying drawing the invention as will be seen consists of
a coil of wire or the like A preferably tapered and provided at its upper end with
a hook B by which the suspender and the article it holds may be hung upon any
suitable support, and at its other end with a flat spring hook C for the purpose of
holding a ticket or the like. The coil may be made preferably of round brass or
other wire, flattened at the end to form the hook C; the coil need not always be
tapered, but for umbrellas and walking sticks this form is preferable as it matches
the taper of the ferrules upon those articles. In use the tip of the umbrella or
walking stick is pushed into the coil and may be turned partly round in the
direction of the screw of the coil as I find this assists in the securing it in the coil.
The umbrella may be removed by unscrewing or simply pulling it out.
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 suspender for umbrellas walking sticks and other articles consisting of a
tapered or cylindrical coil of wire or the like formed into a hook at its upper end
and adapted to receive in its interior the article to be suspended.
2. The combination with a suspender such as set forth in the first claiming
clause of a spring hook such as C formed of the wire or material of which the
suspender is made substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying

A Process for Separating Pulverised Ores and Gold Bearing Sands
by Compressed Air.
We, GUSTAV HENOCH, of The Gotha Mines, Germany, Engineer, and EDMOND
MAURICE, Comte Exelmans, of No. 62 Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, Paris,
France, 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 substitute the action of a current of air for
that of the water usually employed in treating pulverised ores or gold bearing sands
on vibrating tables or buddles.
The advantages of this process are,
1st. As water is not required, the process can be carried on in districts destitute
of water.
2ndly. The dry treatment is superior to the wet because it allows constant
examination of the products.
3rdly. The process avoids the losses resulting in the wet treatment from the
buoyancy of minute particles even when they are specifically heavy.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the application of the process with a
buddle known as Stein's, but it is to be understood that it can also be applied
with other known forms of buddle. Fig. 1 is a side view. Fig. 2 is a plan and
Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the apparatus. Above the vibrating table is
arranged diagonally a pipe A A provided with holes or slits by which jets of
compressed air are directed on the table. The pressure and volume of the air
currents are regulated by suitable cocks or valves according to the nature of the
material treated. The movement produced by the air currents and the travel of
the apron affects every particle which falls from the hopper C so that it follows to
the table a path the more curved the lighter it is specifically. The differences
between the curves followed by the heavier and those followed by the lighter
particles are increased by the vibration of the layer of ore or sand, so that the
lighter particles are exposed all the way to the action of the air currents while
the heavier particles escape and descend. There is thus produced a concentration
of the pulverulent material increasing from B to B', and by placing partitions in this
space, a number of different qualities may be obtained of less or greater richness,
and these or some of them may be similarly treated again for farther concentration.
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 :-
:-
The herein described process for separating pulverised ores and gold bearing
sands wherein sets of compressed air are employed in place of water, such jets of
compressed air being made to operate in combination with the shaking motion of
the table or buddle on to which falls the pulverulent material to be sorted.

Improvements in Cigar Boxes.
I, CHARLES FREDERIC POND of The George Hotel, St. Alban's in the
County of Hertfordshire, Artist, 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 certain improvements in boxes for cigars the object
being to enable the contents of a box to be inspected or counted without handling
the cigars and with little trouble to see that there is the proper number in the
box so as to check the quantity remaining after sales or use.
The boxes are made of convenient size or shape usually such as those in
ordinary use for holding cigars but the back or front portion of the box is to
be made as a flap in addition to the lid a strip of textile material will suffice
for what may be called the hinge.
At the upper or opposite edge of this flap, to that at which it is hinged there
is a catch hole or means for engagement with a pin or catch on the ends of the
box which can be put in or out of engagement as and when required. A movable
pin may be used for securing the flap and the flap and sides have corresponding
holes into which the pin may be placed for fastening.
In the paper cover for the articles there will be a piece knot or loop of ribbon
so as to readily raise same. By these means when the quantity contained in a box
is required to be inspected or counted the same may be done without handling the
articles.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of a box for containing cigars constructed
according to this invention.
In addition to the ordinary hinged lid a which constitutes part of the original
box I hinge one of the sides a' which are opposed to the ends of the cigars so that
I can at any time expose the ends of the cigars and thus count the same at a
glance inasmuch as I am enabled at once to see if the lower rows or layers are
complete and also to discern the number of such lower rows without the trouble of
calculation. It is immaterial practically speaking which side of the box be hinged
but for convenience the side opposite the loose edge of the lid is preferable.
As it is necessary that the hinged side should remain fixed during sale periods a
fastener of some description will be found necessary.
This fastener may consist of a pin b, having an enlarged head, or a hook and eye,
snap, or other suitable fastener may be used.
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 cigar box having two hinged sides one of which constitutes the usual top of
the box and the other of which sides opposes the ends of cigars, substantially as
and for the purpose herein described and illustrated in the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
