Improvements in Traps for Sewers or Drains.
We, AUGUST BUDDE and ALEXANDER BUDDE, both of 56 Oranienstrasse
Berlin in the German Empire, Manufacturers, 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 traps for the entrances to drains and sewers and its
object is to prevent the exit of air or gas from the sewer without obstructing the
passage through the trap.
In the traps generally in use, gases which arise from fermentation of materials
in the trap itself have been free to escape and this nuisance has been especially
great if any length of time elapse between the operations of flushing the trap.
Again too, owing to an imperfect head of water in the trap the escape of gases
from the sewer has not been prevented.
With the object of overcoming these defects we construct our improved trap as
illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
The upper or inlet part A of the trap extends in the form of a tube R to a short
distance below the water level. Directly below the bottom of the tube is arranged
a cone K at a sufficient distance from the tube to allow of the passage of any solid
matters which may have to pass through the trap.
By the use of the cone Kany gases which may form in the fluid W are prevented
from escaping by the tube R and are directed into the annular space S surrounding
it. No great pressure can be attained by the accumulated gases as the annular
space S is connected to the branch T on the sewer side of the trap by a small
pipe L.
The cone K is preferably arranged so as to form the upper part of the cover Z
of the cleaning hole. This arrangement ensures that the cone together with the
cover is replaced in its proper position after the trap has been cleaned.
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,
A trap for sewers or drains having therein a tubular extension R, a cone K, an
annular space S, and a branch pipe L connecting the annular space with the sewer
or drain, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in and connected with Crucible Furnaces.
I, ERNST ALBAN MEICHSNER, of No. 37", Canzelei-strasse, Chemnitz, in the
Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, 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 :-
This invention has reference to crucible furnaces for heating metals, and relates
more particularly to the type of furnace which is employed in the manufacture of
steel and for the production of malleable cast or mild steel; and has for its object
the better utilization of the heat of combustion in such furnaces and to render longer
the life of the crucibles heated therein.
"
In a furnace constructed according to my invention the crucible or chest con-
taining the metal to be heated is placed in a reverberatory chamber superimposed
upon the combustion chamber, the heat and gases of combustion being admitted to
such reverberatory chamber by means of apertures formed in the roof of the com-
bustion chamber.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure I is a sectional elevation of a crucible heating furnace constructed
according to my invention.
Figures II and III represent cross sections taken at the lines X. X. and Y. Y.
Figure I, respectively.
With reference to the drawings, a is the furnace grate, the combustion chamber,
and & apertures formed in the roof thereof. c is a reverberatory chamber containing
the crucible or chest c', and d are apertures for the outlet of the products of com-
bustion to the flue and chimney g. e is an aperture formed in the side of the
crucible c¹ corresponding with a similar aperture formed in the wall of the rever-
beratory chamber c, through which a tube is inserted and the degree of heat existing
in the crucible thereby ascertained.
In operation, the metal to be heated (such for instance as iron in the presence of
charcoal for the production of steel) is packed in the crucible or chest e¹, which is
then exposed for the required time in the reverberatory chamber c to the heat
resulting from combustion of the fuel on the grate a. The degree of heat existing
in the crucible or chest c¹ may be ascertained by means of a tube inserted in the
sight hole e; several of these sight holes may be provided, placed at different
heights upon the crucible.
The apertures b' and d may be provided with dampers, by which the temperature
of the chamber c may be regulated.
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 improved crucible furnace for heating metals (such for instance as iron
in the presence of charcoal for the production of steel) constructed and operated
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The employment in connection with a crucible furnace such as hereinbefore
described, of a crucible or chest provided with sight holes for ascertaining the

I, SAMUEL SIDNEY BRONHEAD of 97 Newgate Street, London, Patent Agent,
(a communication) 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 refers to a combined metal and india-rubber shoe for horses.
It consists of a metal shoe in which is a recess for receiving and holding a strip
of rubber, such recess being of a dovetail section.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings

recess for holding the rubber.
Fig. 2 shows the strip of india-rubber for insertion in the recess A.
Fig. 3 shows the shoe with the rubber inserted.
Fig. 4 shows a section of my combined shoe at the line A-B.
The other figures represent the tools used in fixing the shoes to the horses
hoofs.
It will be seen that the india rubber is so attached that it cannot be displaced by
the motion of the horse, and that it protects the animal from the shock of impact
with the road and also prevents slipping.
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. In a shoe for horses the combination of the groove and curved strip of india-
rubber, as herein explained and set forth.

Improvements in Machines or Apparatus for Cleaning Boots
and Shoes.
I, THEODOR HIMMLER of 17, Neustädterplatz, Reichenberg, Bohemia, 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:
For a long time efforts have been made to make a boot cleaning apparatus
which by its operation should not only replace the very troublesome and tedious
process of cleaning boots by hand but by its cheapness should be within the means
of purchase of the less wealthy. Apparatus of varied construction have resulted
from this effort these have however in consequence of their imperfection only
answered the required purpose to a very small degree.
The following invention has for its object a boot and shoe cleaning apparatus
which answers the requirements of such an apparatus to a far greater degree than
those hitherto in use.
The apparatus consists of a supporting pedestal or pillar a (covering a shaft c)
which can be fastened on a table or a window board or clamped on any other
suitable support a as shown.
Upon one end of the shaft c there is a hand wheel d by means of which the
shaft is put in rotation. This can also be effected by a treadle apparatus in
connection with the shaft c.
The other end of the axis carries a main brush g and also a small round brush f
which has harder bristles than those in the said brush g and which small brush f
may be made of metal bristles-the latter serve to remove firmly adherent
substances.
The main brush g may consist of two sorts of bristles. The front bristles are
for cleaning and those towards the handle for putting on a polish. The body of
the brush is made of papier mache or any other suitable material.
For the purpose of cleaning the boot is pressed against the brush (which is put
in rotation by the shaft c) for the purpose of removing the dirt against the front
part and for putting on a polish against the bristles placed at the top towards the
handle.
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 boot and shoe cleaning apparatus consisting of a main brush provided with
respective cleaning and polishing bristles a shaft carrying said brush and a second
and small brush fixed on said shaft which serves for the purpose of removing the
firmly adherent substances the several said parts being supported on an upright
pedestal or stand substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

A communication by FRIEDRICH SCHUMM, of Stuttgart, in the Empire of
Germany, Merchant.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
For the ornamentation of congratulation, birthday and the like cards, as well as
for note paper, it has hitherto been the custom to make use of monograms,
arabesques, vignettes, etcetera; there have also been employed flowers partially
printed or else impressed thereon, and also partially cut out of silk or other similar
material and stuck flat on the cards or note paper.
This invention relates to a new and both an ingenious as well as an original
method of ornamenting such like cards and note paper, by attaching, by means of
wire loops, clips or other suitable means, artificially made flowers of all kinds,
closely resembling natural ones, so that, when attached to the cards or note paper,
people will be under the impression that they are fresh natural flowers.
In order to make the resemblance still more complete, the flowers may, by being
impregnated with suitable essences, extracts, etcetera, have a scent resembling or
similar to that of the natural flowers.
The flowers, leaves, and the like, may be made of any suitable material, such as
paper, feathers, silk and the like, and the fastening of the same may be effected in
any suitable way. Further, the cards and note paper may also be provided with
any suitable devices or have printed on them suitable mottoes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is:-
The hereinbefore described improvements in greeting, congratulation, and the
like cards, applicable also for use in connection with note paper, which consist in
ornamenting such with artificially made flowers, leaves, or the like, to resemble
natural ones, scented or not to a similar odour to the natural flowers, leaves or the
like which they represent, and attached to the card or paper in any suitable
manner.

Improvements in Petroleum Motors.
I, JOSEPH SINCLAIR FAIRFAX, of 433, Strand, in the County of London,
Patent Agent and Consulting Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 (as communicated to me) is a petroleum motor which
has no valve motions proper, other than that of the piston, while each revolution
produces a power stroke.
In the accompanying drawings
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are longitudinal sections through a motor made according to this
invention, showing different points in the stroke of the piston and position of the
crank, as referred to in the description following.
Instead of transferring the functions of the valve motion to other mechanisms,
the distributing actions, in the improved motor, are produced in a most simple
manner by the working piston passing along certain openings in the side of the
cylinder, and thereby be covered or left open, periodically.
When the piston is in the rear part of the cylinder, air has entered into the fore
part V, through a suitably placed aperture o; this air is compressed by the forward
stroke of the piston and at the end of the stroke enters through a port a of the
cylinder into a port b, provided in the rear part of the piston, and thence through
an opening of the latter part into the rear portion of the cylinder. If at any
place liquid petroleum has been incorporated into the air current, gasification takes
place; as the port 6 of the piston is hot during work. The rear part of the cylinder
therefore now contains explosive mixture.
The piston on returning to its original position first covers the cylinder port a,
mentioned above, and then a discharge port E, provided near the inlet opening for
the air; and the mixture remaining behind the piston is compressed to self
ignition at a hot surface z at the end of the cylinder; thereby producing work
in the known manner.
A little before opening, in its forward stroke, the cylinder port referred to, the
piston runs over the discharge port E; thereby allowing the products of com-
bustion at high tension behind the piston to escape for the greater part, while the
remainder is removed by the charge entering through the piston port. Thus also
the escape of the gases is effected by the piston alone.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
A petroleum motor having a distributing action without a valve mechanism
other than the piston by means of the aperture o the ports a, b, x and E and the
space V.

An Improved Preparation to be used in the Manufacture of
Sausages.
I JOHN CRAMPTON of 12 to 18 Chapman Street Hulme Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Drysalter, 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 :-
It is known that sausages are frequently colored to improve the appearance of
the meat by the addition of red dyes thereto.
This invention is designed to avoid the risks incurred by the addition to sausages
of such dyes the possibly deleterious or even poisonous qualities of which being
unknown to the generality of the persons who so use the dyes.
According to my invention I make a special preparation of bread crumbs which
is quite harmless and can be added to the meat in making the sausages and will
improve the appearance of the same without any risk of injury to the consumer.
For this purpose I add a small proportion of aniline scarlet to the bread in its
manufacture say by dissolving the said aniline scarlet in the water of which the
dough is made, I find that about one quarter of an ounce of the dye is sufficient to
color about thirty six pounds of flour.
The aniline scarlet must previously to use for this purpose be specially purified
so as to eliminate every trace of arsenic therefrom.
The colored bread is then baked in the usual way, and dried and ground up
into crumbs when it is then ready for use or for packing to sell to the sausage
manufacturer.
In cases where biscuit is used instead of bread the former is to be dyed in a
similar manner.
This ready dyed bread or biscuit will be found to improve the appearance of
the sausages made therewith without the use of coloring matter by ignorant
persons and without any danger to the consumer, as the only coloring matter
employed is perfectly harmless.
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 improved preparation to be used in the manufacture of sausages consisting
of crumbs of bread or biscuit dyed with hon-arsenious aniline scarlet in the process
of manufacture substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore
described.

Improvements in Furniture used in Composing Type.
I, JULIUS MAX HARRY GURSCH, of 18 Linienstrasse, Berlin, Germany,
Mechanic, 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 hollow reglets and other furniture used in composing
type. Hitherto, the furniture has usually been made of cast-iron or of type metal.
My invention has for its object to so make the furniture, that, whilst it is equally
strong, it is much lighter than that at present in use.
In carrying out my invention, I make the new furniture of cast type-metal, with
a lining or strengthening strip of sheet metal. The lining may be of different
conformations to suit the different purposes for which the furniture is to be used.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon :-
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section,
Fig. 2 a cross section, and
Fig. 3 a plan of one form of furniture.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section,
Fig. 5 a cross section, and
Fig. 6 a plan of a different form of furniture.
Referring to the drawings, whereon the same reference letters, wherever repeated,
indicate similar or like parts
The frame A, which is cast of type metal, has also cast into it a wave-shaped
or corrugated plate B of sheet metal. The heights and hollows of the waves have
holes a in them, for the purpose of letting any water escape, when the furniture is
being washed. As will be seen, the edges of the sheet metal plate B are embedded
in, and form part of, the frame A.
If the hollow furniture is to be used for copperplate printing, then, instead of
a frame A, I use a box C, (Figs. 4 to 6), which is open at the side, as shown. The
sheet metal plate B is, in this case, preferably made with sharp corrugations
(see Fig. 4), and it is, as before, embedded in the box or frame. No drain holes a
are required in this case.
The advantages of the improved furniture are as follows:
1. Lightness combined with strength.
2. Non-liability to rust, as is often the case with cast-iron furniture.
3. The type-metal is not easily crushed or injured.
4. Cheapness of production.
The type metal always retains
required.
it can be used at any other time,
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
required.
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 —
Hollow type-metal furniture, made with a corrugated sheet-metal strengthening
plate substantially as and for the advantages hereinbefore set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Lamp Vases and Oil
Containers.
I, ERNST LUDWIG FABIAN, of Ost Strasse, Kaménz, Saxony in the German
Empire, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 my invention is to effect improvements in the manufacture of lamp
vases and oil containers, whereby the same may be rendered more ornamental than
hitherto, and the cost may be reduced.
I construct the vase and oil container of earthenware, porcelain, or other plastic
material, and fit the same together by means of a metal ring, which unites the oil
container with the dome, and provides a collar for the attachment of the wick tube,
gallery, and other necessary appliances.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described, and
ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawing, being an
elevation, partly in section.
a is the vase formed in one piece. is the dome or cover to the vase, and c is
the oil container, all formed of earthenware, porcelain, china, or analogous plastic
material.
d is a metallic collar, formed with an internal screw thread d¹ for attaching the
ordinary lamp fittings, and an external screw thread d² fitting an internal screw
thread formed in the oil container c. e is a layer of plaster of paris or other
suitable material to form an oil tight joint or packing between the dome b and oil
container c.
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. In the construction of lamps, the combination of a vase a, dome b, and oil
container c, severally formed of plastic material; the oil container c being secured
to the dome b, by means of a screwed ring or collar d, substantially as herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of the several and
respective parts, together forming my invention of improvements in the manufacture
of lamp vases and oil containers, substantially as herein before described and

Improvements in Urinals.
I, WILLIAM BELL, Architect, Blossom Street, York, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in an improved and novel arrangement of the dividing
partitions or stalls and in the receiver or channel of an elevated trough urinal.
Whilst in those in general use the backs and divisions are in two or three parts and
reach to the floor level, being formed of slabs of slate or other suitable material,
the special feature of my invention is that I use with an elevated trough or receiver
a slab of glazed earthenware glass or other material made in the form of a curve or
angle and thus form my stalls of one piece of material, and instead of bringing these
curved or angular backs and divisions down to the floor level I stop them at or
about the level of the elevated trough.
Dated this 30th day of May 1892
I WILLIAM BELL Architect Blossom Street York 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:―
As described in my Provisional Specification I form the urinal and its stalls in
a novel manner so arranging the material of which these stalls are composed that
the back and sides of each stall are formed in one piece, the use of back and sides
in one piece is not novel so far as regards urinals wherein the back and sides reach
to the floor but in my improved arrangement my back and sides are carried to a
channel or basin and this channel or basin is raised from the floor. Reference to
the accompanying drawings will make this clear A being a back and sides B a front
pillar to cover the joint of two stalls C is a trough by preference lipped as C 1 this
trough contains water to receive the urine as shewn in the section. The trough is
flushed out at intervals by a suitable flushing tank D.
My claim to novelty is the use of the back and sides of a urinal in one piece
where such back and sides are elevated above the floor level and used in conjunc-
tion with a trough or series of basins which also are raised from the ground.
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
1st. The use of a back and sides of a urinal stall formed in one piece of ware in
combination with a trough or basin which shall be elevated above the floor level.
2nd. The use of the back and sides formed in one piece of material and being
fixed in such a manner that the urinal stall so formed does not reach to the floor
level.
3rd. The use of an elevated channel for a urinal above which a back and sides
formed in one piece of ware shall be fixed.

page_text: 4th. The design and arrangement of the whole apparatus as herein described and
illustrated or its equivalent though differing in conformity substantially the same.

Improvements in or applicable to Hurricane Lanterns.
1, WILLIAM LIGHBODY, of the firm of Thomas Rowatt & Sons, of 9, 10,
11 and 12, Radsworth Street, City Road, in the County of London, and
126 Fountain Bridge, Edinburgh, in the County of Midlothian, Lamp Manu-
facturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
sme is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to hurricane lanterns provided with wind protectors of the
kind described in the Specification of my application No. 5216 of 1892. In such
Specification I have described my wind protector as a perforated plate or screen
pivotted and weighted in such a manner that when the globe is moved from beneath
it the plate or screen will remain suspended.
According to my present improvement I dispense with the pivotting and weighting
referred to and apply my wind protector directly to the top of the globe.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawing which represents a side elevation partly in section of a hurricane lantern
having my wind protector placed directly upon the globe.
a indicates the globe and b the wind protector thereon, the said wind
protector, as shewn in the drawing, being shaped to fit around the top edge of the
globe and provided with a series of spring clips c adapted to spring over and engage
with the rib d upon the globe.
One of the chief advantages of applying the wind protector in the manner
hereinbefore described is that it can be applied to existing lanterns without altering
the same.
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 hurricane lantern having a wind protector directly applied to the globe of
the lantern substantially as described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved wind protector for hurricane
lanterns hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
