Leipsic, in the Empire of Germany, Crucible Founders.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E. 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 tools used for moulding in foundries up to the present time have been made of
steel or bronze or brass and have the disadvantage that they easily break and easily
oxidise in consequence of the nature of the moulding sand.
The following metal alloy unites all the qualities and properties necessary for
moulders tools, i.e. great hardness toughness malleability, and it oxidises very
little.
With a specific gravity of 8.3 this alloy has a hardness of 3.4, a tensile strength of
78.3 kilogrammes per square millimetre and its melting point is 800° (1.
The alloy is made up of the following ingredients and the order in which they are
added is as follows;-
100 parts of aluminium bronze of 10% is melted first because it is the most
difficult to fuse, 0.5 parts of manganese is added next as the next most difficult and
then are added in quick succession 1.5 parts of lead, 2 parts of tin and 2 parts of
zine, the zinc is added last because it oxidises quickly; finally 0.25 parts of phosphorus
is carefully added and serves to purify the alloy and also to increase its hardness and
elasticity.
It will be understood that I do not bind myself to the exact proportions above
mentioned, but in practice I have found them give satisfactory results.
The admixture of lend purifies the alloy while the zine gives it an easy fusion
and the tin, manganese and phosphorus give it the required qualities of hardness,
elasticity and toughness.
The melting is continued until the alloy has reached a melting point of 800° C.
when it is cast into blocks.

page_text: To produce a very pure and homogeneous metal the alloy is remelted several
times.
The alloy thus produced can be easily worked and is capable of a high polish, it
unites all the necessary qualities for moulders tools and tools manufactured from this
metal are of an oxtraordinary durability.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion 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 ;-
For the production of moulders tools
A composition or alloy consisting of aluminium bronze of 10°zine manganese lead
tin and phosphorus in or about the proportions specified which composition is melted
until it has reached a melting point of or about 800° C. substantially as specified.

page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY PRESTWICH, of Warmington House, High Road, Tottenham,
in the County of Middlesex, "Photographer" do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the saine is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
I construct my invention with a series of louvres placed horizontally as shown on
the drawings, and, the said louvres being bevelled on each edge; so that each louvre
bar when closed rests on its fellow.
The louvres work on pivots or pins at each end, the said pins being placed out of
centre, to allow the louvre bars to hang down of their own gravity.
At one side of the stove cheeks, I provide a moveable ratchet with teeth or studs
corresponding to the number of louvres; each louvre resting on its own stud or
tooth. The ratchet is worked on centre studs in slots, and by means of a pivotted
lever, the ratchet can be moved bodily, causing each louvre to rise or fall, with the
backward and forward motion of the ratchet; thus allowing of such opening between
the louvre bars as may be required for the free passage of the smoke, or the louvres
may be fully or partially closed; that the ascending heat may be radiated or conducted
into the room.
At the back of the louvres, I provide an horizontal permanent opening sufficiently
largo to carry off the sunoke and products of combustion, when the fire is burning
brightly; and it is desirable to radiate all the heat possible into the room by partially
or fully closing the louvres.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1. is the front elevation of the apparatus fitted to a portion of the top opening
of a grate, with the louvres C, closed to radiate the heat into the room.
The louvres are held in this position by the ratchet K, and the teeth or studs H,
this said ratchet is worked by the lever J, in the slots I.
Figure 2. denotes a section of the apparatus; the dotted lines indicate the position
of the different parts opened. The arrow indicate the permanent opening for the
smoke to ascend when the louvres are fully closed.

page_text: Like letters give like parts in each of the figures. A the stove. Clouvres.
D stove back. E opening for the smoke to ascend. F louvre ends without ratchet.
H ratchet teeth. I slots. J lever arm. K ratchet plate. L back of stove above louvres.
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 :-
;
First The combination of the apparatus for radiating and deflecting the heat
from a fire into the room, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawings.
Secondly: The apparatus to be fitted to any ordinary stove, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
=
Thirdly I claim the advantage of my apparatus over any other now in use,
viz. that the louvres can open or close at will, for the aforesaid purpose, substantially
as herein described.

page_text: 1, JULIUS QUAGLIO, of 25 Louisenstrasse, N.W. Berlin, Germany, 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 relates to a novel method of filling Bouillon capsules mechanically
and consists of means hereinafter set forth.
In a so called Maccaroni (Nudel) or other similar press, the pressure plate shown
at B, in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is perforated in such a manner,
that there is formed a hole or opening of lesser diameter at E and of larger
diameter in front than that of the gelatine capsule D which is required to be filled.
This capsule D which is furnished at the bottom with a hole for the escape of air
is placed in the outer part of such opening, while a plate C is pushed forward at
a certain distance in front thereof, its position being adjustable according to the
length of the gelatine capsule.
When the piston is pushed forward in the space A of the press, the filling mass
enters at E in the capsule D filling the latter completely and causing the air contained
therein to escape through a. By making the opening E smaller, the hole a may be

dispensed with, the air in this case escaping from the sides towards the front.
capsule D is pressed towards the end of the filling operation against the plate Cand
when the capsule is entirely full, the forward motion of the piston is arrested and the

plate is then withdrawn and the gelatine capsule is extracted and closed with a
cover or lid. Any suitable number of feed holes or openings can be arranged in the
pressure plate.
In order to obtain a more rapid manipulation the said plate is provided with
several holes the pressure plate being divided, as shown in Figure 2, into two
plates. The pressure plate proper B has small holes E and is a fixture, the front
Such
plate B is removable and is previously provided with the capsule D.
plates furnished with capsules can always be held in reserve in sockets E² and
place in position whenever required and as soon as the filling, as stated above, is

page_text: completed the whole plate with the capsules charged can be withdrawn and passed
on, while one of the stock plates supplied with its capsules can be next placed in
position and so on.
By this process, the tedious and slow method of filling Bouillon capsules by hand
is efficiently superseded by more rational means or mechanical contrivance operating
with greater rapidity.
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 manufacture of Bouillon-capsules carried out by providing the single or double
plate of a Maccaroni Nudel or other similar press (B or B₁ B²) with a peculiar
perforation or opening (E, E and E2) for the insertion therein and filling of gelatine
capsules, together with a front or distant plate C and by perforating sometimes (at a)
the bottom of the gelatinous capsule.

Improvements in Inverness Capes.
I RICHARD BEATY of the firm of Beaty Brothers of 1, 3 and 5 Market Street and
18, 20 and 91 Oldham Street Manchester also of Liverpool and Oldham Tailors do
hereby declare the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
To remedy the great defects which have existed in Inverness Capes as hitherto
manufactured and which have chiefly consisted in a tendency to drop from the neck
when buttoned and an inclination to fall off altogether when unbuttoned I form my
improved Inverness Cape with a shoulder as illustrated on the accompanying
drawing upon which Fig. 1 represents a perspective view and Fig. 2 a back view
of the upper part of my improved Inverness Cape.
In performing my invention instead of the cape extending from the collar down-
wards as hitherto I cut the material to form a shoulder seam as in an ordinary
coat as indicated by the dotted lines a a and I form the shoulder by joining the
back c of the garment to the cape across the shoulder seams a a and by joining
the back e at either side to the cape as indicated by the dotted lines bb.
In this manner I produce a better fitting and more graceful garment adapted
more perfectly to the figure of the wearer, one in which all superfluous material
is dispensed with and which ensures greater comfort and ease to the wearer.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
1 claim is
The improved manufacture of Inverness Cape substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.

page_text: I, GEORG VON GERENDAY of Budapesth Hungary Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to he
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improved buttons for articles of wearing apparel of all
kinds. At present the buttons of vestments or articles of apparel, both for ladies and
gentlemen, are generally sewn to the same and are constructed accordingly.
The disadvantages of this system are that the buttons are, on the one hand, readily
torn off and cannot readily be dislocated by decreasing or increasing corpulence from
their original position as the articles of apparel, where the buttons were originally
attached, is so injured by the stitches that this part can seldom be left uncovered.
The object of the present invention, as represented in the accompanying drawing
is to attach the button, without sewing and without in the least degree injuring the
fabric, to the article of wearing apparel, so that when the button is removed no
trace is left and the buttons can be readily removed and replaced without in any way
injuring the article of apparel.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 represents an improved button with the nut B attached and
Figure 2 shows the same provided with the tapered stem A.
1 attain the above mentioned object by providing the button with a stem A which
is provided with a pin finely pointed and securely attached to the head of the button.
This stem may consist of two parts or be split or it may consist of a conical or other
pin provided with a screw thread. In the first instance the stem is passed through
the desired part of the fabric, the two halves of the stem pressed apart from each
other and the button firmly attached to the article of wearing apparel; in the latter
instance the stein is also passed through the fabric and the nut B screwed onto the
same said nut being provided with a border which lies snugly against the inner
surface of the garment. The mode of attaching these buttons to garments of any kind
assures that no injury is done to the same as only a very small hole is made by
pressing the threads of the fabric apart.

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 :-
:-
The hereinhefore described improved buttons and their attachment to articles of
apparel without sewing, consisting therein, that the buttons are provided with a
stein A pointed to a fine needle point which, after having been passed through the
fabric, is, on the inner side of the garments, either fixed by means of a suitable nut or
by pressing the two halves of the stem apart from each other onto the inner surface
of the said garment so that the button is securely attached to the same, substantially
as and for the purpose set forth in the foregoing specification.

I, JOHN MATTHEW COATES Grammar School Wallington, Surrey, Schoolmaster,
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 consists in mixing together various ingredients in certain proportions
to which I add a certain amount of water until they are perfectly dissolved therein,
and this solution I then pour into the tank, Boiler, or such like receptacle from which
I desire to remove all incrustation or prevent the formation of such incrustation-
This solution I leave in the boiler for about 24 hours or more if necessary when the
whole of the water can be drawn off, when it will be found that the incrustation has
been dissolved in the water and it has been removed.
By means of my Invention I can remove all incrustation from Steam Boilers,
Hot water pipes Kettles, Coppers, and such like articles. The ingredients are as
follows:-
To 24 parts of Common Soda or thereabouts I add 12 parts of Alum or thereabouts,
and to these I add 3 parts of Animal Charcoal or thereabouts and further add 4 parts
of Fullers Earth or thereabouts. All these ingredients must be ground down to a
very fine powder previous to mixing same-to these aforementioned ingredients I
add 5 parts or thereabouts of Demerara Sugar. The method of mixing these
ingredients is as follows.-The Soda is first mixed with the animal charcoal, then the
Fullers earth is added, after which the alum is added thereto and finally the Sugar.
Having mixed these ingredients well together I dissolve them in water.
The quantity of my anti-incrustator that I may use to clear off the incrustation
depends largely upon the extent to which the said incrustation has arrived at and to
the amount of piping in connection with the Boiler.
Having fully 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 :-
An Anti-incrustator composed essentially of the ingredients herein before mentioned
and in the proportions laid down for the purposes set forth in the title.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Soles of Boots, Shoes, Slippers,
and such like Foot Coverings, and in Apparatus therefor.
JAMES WHITE HEMMINGS, Heckmondwike, Yorkshire, Manager of a Boot Factory,
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 my invention is to mould the soles, middle soles, under soles, shanking,
and waist pieces of the soles of foot coverings at one operation, so as to correspond
to the shape of what may be termed the "tread" of a person's foot, so that the said
soles can be attached to the upper leather of the foot covering at one operation. My
object is also to produce a mould for the purpose of pressing or moulding the said
soles, middle soles, under soles, shanking and waist pieces, the said pressing or
moulding operation being accomplished with a die. The accompanying drawings will
give an idea of how I carry out the objects of my invention.
Figure 1. at A, is a moulding, or pressing trough, or well, the inside of which is
hollowed out to correspond to the "tread" of a person's foot; B is a die, the under
portion of which is made to such a shape that it fits exactly on to the bottom part and
sides of the inside of the trough or well A. The said trough and die are made of
iron, steel, or other suitable metal. C is a combination of the sole of a foot
covering, consisting of the sole, middle sole, under sole, shanking, and waist pieces.
Figure 2. shows the trough A. die B. and sole C. before the moulding operation has
taken place. In carrying out the operation of moulding and pressing; the sole,
middle sole, under sole, shanking, and waist pieces are put together, being flat as at
C. (Figure 2). They are then cut to the shape of the inside of the trough, or well A.
The combination of the various parts of the sole is then put into the said trough, and
the die B. is put on to the sole C. and the said die B. is then pressed down by
suitable mechanism. While the operation of pressing is going on, the various parts
of the sole C. are kept in their proper positions, as the sides of the well or trough
prevent them from slipping out of position.
After the pressing operation has taken place, the die B. is lifted out of the well A.
and the sole C. is also taken out of the well, when it comes out moulded to the
"tread" of a person's foot.
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 making of the sole as described, so that it can be attached to the foot
covering at one operation.
2. The use of the well or trough, and also the die as described.

Improvements in Chimney and Ventilating Shaft Tops.
JOHN BROYDEN TONGE, of 27 Salthouse Road, Barrow-in-Furness, in the County
of Lancaster, Clerk of Works to Railway Company 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 consists of a modification of the principles applied in my patented
inventions Nos. 795788 and 1274188 to which reference is respectfully requested.
The improvement being that instead of movable flaps for the interception of
down-draughts there are made in the fabric of the frame fixed internal curved
louvres or passage-ways so arranged as to cause up-draught and suction from outer
air which passes through the inlets, provided for that purpose, then through the
louvres or passage-ways into the chamber at the head of the ventilator and
expelling through its perforations the foul air or smoke which passes up the central
shaft. The invention is thus applicable to ventilators chimneys or flues.
The louvres and inlets are placed in tiers of convenient number and on all sides
of the frame so that from whatever direction the wind may blow there is provision
for an up-current. No rain which may come through the perforations with which
the ventilating chamber is pierced can pass down the central shaft as it will be
carried off on the backs of the louvres and escape through the air inlet holes. The
louvres are connected and supported by vertical midfeathers and the whole' apparatus
may be made of any fireproof material.
The drawing herewith presented represents the design applied to an octagonal
frame and illustrates the principle of the inlet for up-draught and for the escape of
hot air or smoke in a ventilator or chimney stack.
The first figure shows in elevation the louvres or passage ways and inlets C
surrounding the central shaft. The smaller figure at foot illustrates a transverse
section showing the application of the midfeathering and the rim of the louvres or
passage ways.
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 system of internal curved or straight louvres or passage ways supported by
midfeathers surrounding and shielding a central shaft and diverting from the mouth
of the said central shaft any down-draught that may strike upon the frame or
ventilator also carrying up-draught by suction into the upper ventilating chamber to
expel through its perforations the hot air or smoke drawn into said chamber by the
central shaft.

Improvements in Oil Lamp Holders and Fasteners.
Year: 1889

page_text: Improvements in Oil Lamp Holders and Fasteners.
I HENRY HANCORNE Fox of Wilton Road, Sparkhill in the County of Worcestershire,
Lamp Maker, 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 many suspended lamps for burning paraffin, petroleum or other mineral oils as at
present constructed the oil reservoir is carried by a suitably suspended metal ring
which also carries above it the lamp shade. In placing the lamp into position after
lighting, the reservoir is slipped between the supporting ring and the shade while
it is tilted so that the glass chimney assumes an inclined position and misses the
shade during the movement of placing in position. This method is somewhat.
dangerous and the object of my invention is to modify the suspended supporting ring
and the lamp itself in such manner that the lamp may be at once placed in proper
position and fastened securely without having to incline it at all.
In carrying out my invention I cut slots in the supporting ring from below in
such manner that corresponding projections upon the lamp reservoir or a ring
attached to it, pass up into these slots and are then turned round by slightly
rotating the lamp so as to fall into recesses shaped to receive them. I provide one
or more of these projections with a screw and thumb nut so that when in position the
nut or nuts may be screwed up.
Figures 1 and 2 of the sheet of drawings appended show my invention as applied to
a usual form of mineral oil lamp.
Figure 1. is an elevation showing the lamp in position preparatory to being pushed
up and slipped into the supporting ring.
Figure 2. is a plan showing the projections from the reservoir and the ring slots
looking from below.
The supporting ring A has slots B. B. B. cut in it of the shape shown in elevation
and the reservoir projections C. C. C. fall into these slots. One of them is screwed
and carries a thumb nut D. To place the lamp it is slipped in from below as shown

page_text: then rotated slightly and in the direction of the arrow the projections C. C. C. drop
into the recessed portions E. E. E. of the slots. The nut Dis then screwed up and the
lamp is held firmly in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner it is is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
A supporting ring for a suspended lamp constructed with slots to fit projecting
pins in the lamp reservoir substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described.
