statement:-
Figure 1 shows a plan of my improved Tue Iron.
Figure 2" a Front view showing it attached to the front side of the bosh or
water Tank.
Figure 3 a longitudinal sectional view showing its attachment to the water
tank and
Figures 4. 5 and 6 views of separate parts severally referred to hereafter.
I form my improved Tuyero in two parts. The front or nozzle A is perforated
in the centre its whole length forming a pipe for the passage of the air blast at the
back arms radiate the outer ends of which terminate in a flange which forms part
of a hollow cone surrounding the air pipe, the flange is pierced with holes through
which are passed screw bolts to secure it to the front flange of the back part B of
the Tuyere in the centre of which is a pipe which forms a passage for the air of the
same diameter as the nozzle this pipe extends backward the length required where
it forins a flange by which it is bolted to the back of the water tank C (shown in
section at Figure 3) in front of the water tank the back part of the tuyero forins
two sets of radiating arins terminating in two flanges forming part of a hollow
cone surrounding the air pipe. The flange at the back of the nozzle A is shown at
Figure 4. The front flange of the back part B is shown at Figure 5 and the back
flange of the back part is shown at Figure 6, The back flange is bolted to the
front of the water tank, where the flanges are bolted together or to the water tank,
a washer or fillett of lead, leather, or equivalent material is interposed to form air
tight and water tight joints. A tuyere so constructed when the front of the
nozzle A is burnt away by taking out the front screw bolts a new nozzle may be
substituted in a few ininutes without pulling down the back wall of the hearth
or removing the water tank thereby effecting a considerable saving of time and
expense.

I DAWSON WEST, of 15 High Street Keighley, in the County of Yorkshire,
Chemist and Druggist, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
"A COMPOSITION FOR DRESSING WARPS" FOR WEAVING, to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of a composition for the use of weavers and warp
dressers &c. to facilitate the process of weaving, and warp dressing, new glais &c
and assisting generally in the manufacture of textile fabrics. It is composed of a
mixture of powdered French chalk, paraffin wax, and palm oil.

page_text: I DAWSON WEST of 15 High Street, Keighley, in the County of York, Chemist,
and Druggist, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "A COMPOSITION
FOR DRESSING WARPS FOR WEAVING," 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 intended for the use of weavers, and warp dressers, &c., and
consists of a composition made by melting (with the aid of heat,) paraffin wax,
and mixing with it whilst in a melted state, powdered steatite, and bleached palm
oil which I prefer in the following proportions. Equal parts by weight of paraffin
wax and steatite, and about one sixteenth part by weight of palm oil, but I do not
intend to limit myself to these proportions, as the same may be varied according
to circumstances. In fact, I consider the principal components of the composition,
are the paraffin wax and the steatite, for if the composition be used in a warm
room, it will be found to work well without the palm oil, or if used in a cool room,
to work better with the palm oil. I have come to the conclusion that the
following will be the best form in which to apply the composition. For weavers,
I propose to make a rod or roller, to lie on the beam of the loom between the
flanges, so that as the beam slowly revolves, the confposition will be applied to the
warp. For warpdressers, I propose to make it in blocks of various sizes, so that it
may be applied either with the use of the dressers brush, or on a rack, or beam,
allowing the warp to pass over it.
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 mixture of paraffin wax and steatite, with or without the addition of palm
oil, as and for the purposes herein before described. .
IMPROVEMENTS IN FINISHING WATERPROOF FABRICS
Year: 1884

page_text: We PHILIP FRANKENSTEIN and LOUIS FRANKENSTEIN Waterproofers and
RICHARD PETTIFER WICKS Manager all of Newton Heath in the County of
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
FINISHING WATERPROOF FABRICS 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 produce an ornamental metallic lustre or sheen
upon waterproof fabrics which shall be permanent, cannot be rubbed or worn off,
and will not be injuriously affected by exposure to rain or to gases or vapors.
For producing our improved finish upon waterproof fabrics we first prepare the
same by giving the surface two coatings of the usual proofing mixture composed of
india rubber and lamp black, and we then acidize the same with a mixture of
bi-sulphide of carbon and chloride of sulphur in the usual manner; after which we
coat the surface with our new "finish" prepared as follows.
We reduce india rubber to a state of "dough" in mineral naphtha of a specific
gravity of only about seven hundred and thirty five degrees, and to every pound of
rubber we add about half an ounce of gold bronze powder, or other suitablo metallic
powder (according to the color or effect to be produced) and we mix this brunze
powder thoroughly with the rubber in the dough mill.
We then coat the prepared surface of the fabric with this bronzed rubber which
gives the desired metallic lustre, and in order to protect the metallic bronze powder
from the action of rain gases or vapors we give it a final coating of thin india
rubber solution or varnish which will prevent the rain gas, or vapors from
producing any deleterious effect upon the appearance of the bronze finish.
We then finally acidize with bisulphide of carbon and chloride of sulphur as
before and the goods are ready for the market.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed wo wish it to be
understood that we claim The production of a metallic lustre or sheen upon
waterproof fabrics by mixing gold bronze powder (or other suitable metallic
powder) with the india rubber and applying the same to the surface of the fabric
substantially in the manner hereinbefore set forth and described.

Year: 1884

page_text: WILSON BLAXTON DODD 80 Aglionby St Carlisle, Building Surveyor, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED METHOD OF JOINTING
STONEWARE AND OTHER PIPES to be as follows:-
On the inner surface of the socket of the pipe a groove is formed and also on
the outer surface of the other end of the pipe, when the pipes are placed in position
the grooves are opposite each other. A hole is made on the top of the socket into
which is poured a liquid cement of pitch or other cementitious material. On the
bottom of the plain end of the pipe a small piece is formed to prevent the pipe
resting hard on the socket of the pipe into which it enters; by these means a clear
space of about one quarter of an inch is left all round the socket. After the
cement is poured into the joint an annular band about 3in wide and in thick, and
a tongue about lin broad and 3/in thick intervenes the connection of the pipes.

IMPROVEMENTS IN RECEPTACLES FOR SOAPS, TOOTH PASTE, VASELINE, AND OTHER COSMETICS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, GAVIN MARTIN of 5 Manningham Lane Bradford in the County of York,
Surgeon Dentist do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN RECEPTACLES FOR SOAPS, TOOTH PASTE, VASELINE, AND OTHER COSMETICS,
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 construct a convenient receptacle for soaps,
vaseline, tooth paste and other articles of the toilet in such a manner as to allow
of a more convenient outlet of the contents as is required.
Hitherto the above articles have been put up in bottles, boxes, pots and
compressible tubes, the latter in the case of shaving soap and tooth paste become
unsightly on the dressing table when partially used.
The accompanying Drawing represents a vertical section through the centre of
my improved receptacle, which consists of a cylindrical receptacle A formed of metal
or other suitable material, having a screwed cap B at the top in order to cover
the outlet C. The bottom of the receptacle A is fitted with a cork piston D which
is secured to the central stand E the upper or parallel portion of which is nearly
of the same diameter as the piston itself.
When it is desired to use the soap vaseline, or tooth paste, the cap B is
unscrewed and on pressing the cylindrical receptacle A downwards, the paste
contained therein is compressed between the piston E and the interior, the casing
of the receptacle A sliding down the piston E in proportion to the pressure
exerted, thus forcing the paste out of the opening C at top as is required for use.
The cap B is then screwed on, and for the purpose of protecting the receptacle
casing A from getting knocked or indented, I cover the same with an ornamental
cylinder F of the depth of the receptacle and stand.
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 :-
:―
A receptacle for soaps, vaseline, tooth paste and other cosinetics, the bottom of
which is fitted with a piston which causes the contents to appear at the outlet
when pressure is applied to the receptacle substantially as described.

An Arrangement for Preventing the Wood Keys Used for Securing Railway Rails in their Chairs from Working Out.
Year: 1884

page_text: An Arrangement for Preventing the Wood Keys Used for
Securing Railway Rails in their Chairs from Working Out.
I, THOMAS RICHMOND, 9 Bangor Street Nottingham Nottinghamshire Black-
smith do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN ARRANGEMENT FOR
PREVENTING THE WOOD KEYS, USED FOR SECURING RAILWAY RAILS IN THEIR
CHAIRS, FROM WORKING OUT, to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object the providing of an easy, ready, and effective
means, for preventing the wood keys, used for wedging or securing railway rails in
their chairs, from working out, which is a great expense and trouble on permanent
ways, and is as follows,-On one of the sides of the chair-preferably on the same
sido which the wood key is driven in from, there is a small lug, which extends a
short distance down the side of the chair, this lug is provided with a rectangular
slot to receive a metal key. This metal key which is made flat and not very thick,
is provided with a head forming a shoulder on each side, near the top, and in the
direction of its width, the under edge of one of these shoulders is made thin, or with
a leading edge, for the purpose of entering the wood key, and as hereinafter
described.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, let it now be imagined that
the wood key has been driven in the chair, with sufficient tightness to secure the
rail; I then take a metal key as before described, and with the sharp, or thin
shoulder nearest the wood key, and slightly overhanging it, drive the metal key
into the slot provided for it in the chair, until the sharp or thin shoulder enters the
wood key, or cuts its way slightly into it, at the same time the opposite shoulder of
the metal key will rest upon the edge of the lug; by this means it will be seen that
the head of the metal key being part in the wood key, and the body of the metal
key being in the slot provided for it in the chair, that the wood key cannot work
out of its position, until the metal key is removed, for which easy provision is
made, there being space enough left at the bottom of the lug to enable a pick, or
lever, or other suitable instrument, to-be put under the bottom of the metal key
and thus prize it up, and release the wood key.

I WILLIAM ROBERT LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake, and Co, Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, London, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare
the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO INSULATING
MATERIALS OR COMPOUNDS FOR ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS" 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 compositions for insulating electrical conductors.
According to the said Invention what I terin metallic soap is first prepared, its
preparation may be accomplished in various ways, the following being most
suitable one pound of common brown soap is thoroughly dissolved in two gallons
of hot water. In another vessel, one and a quarter pounds of alum are thoroughly
dissolved in two gallons of hot water. . The dissolved soap and alum are now
mixed together, the result being a flocculent mass of metallic soap, which is
afterwards removed from the water and dried by any suitable means.
The metallic soap is dissolved in benzine, turpentine or gasoline, one gallon
thereof being employed to one pound of the soap, and to the same is added one
gallon of boiled linseed oil, all these ingredients being well stirred together. Half
a gallon of copal varnish or any other good varnish is also added and well stirred
with the previous mixture of metallic soap and boiled linseed oil. The proportions
of the different ingredients may be varied as required.
The solution is now adapted for saturating cotton, silk, or other fibrous coverings
for electrical wires thus rendering the said coverings water-proof and electrically
insulating the wires in a durable and inexpensive manner, the application being
easily effected.
Should it be desired to thicken the mixture, it may be accomplished by means
of white oxide of zinc ground in oil or white lead, such as is used by house
painters, or the oxide of zinc or white lead may be used in the form of powder
and ground with the mixture herein before described until a paint of proper
consistency is obtained. Any other suitable powder or paint may be used in place
of the oxide of zinc or white lead.

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. The metallic soap prepared substantially as hereinbefore described for the
purposes specified.
Second. A composition for electrical insulation consisting of metallic soap,
benzine, or its equivalent, linseed oil and varnish.
Third. Metallic soap, benzine or its equivalent, linseed oil and varnish, in
combination with a thickening material, substantially as, and for the purpose, set

IMPROVEMENTS IN CIGARETTE PAPER
Year: 1884

page_text: DEVIFICATION.
I WILLIAM BRADFORD of 9 Church Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster
Cigarette Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN CIGARETTE PAPER and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
It is desirable to make cigarettes in such a way that whilst the smoker shall be
able to enjoy all the essential qualities of the tobacco the smell evolved in the
combustion of the tobacco shall be counteracted if not entirely hidden.
Several processes have been tried with a view to effecting this object; but as
each of them necessitated either the saturation of the tobacco with some foreign
substance or the introduction (in a dry state) of some foreign substance in the
tobacco used in making the cigarette, they all (apart from other practical considera-
tions) are more or less unavailable by reason of the law and regulations of the
Excise affecting the manufacture of tobacco.
I take ordinary paper suitable for use in connection with cigarettes, and immerse
it in a bath of Attar of Roses or other potent perfume until it is saturated.
When saturated I remove the paper from the scent bath and allow it to dry.
When dry I use this paper for making cigarettes in the ordinary way.
Care must be taken in selecting the perfume not to use any which may be
injurious to the smoker. .
A cigarette formed with paper made according to my process gives off a pleasant
perfume whilst being smoked, and conceals all the objectionable smell attendant on
smoking cigarettes made with paper not prepared according to my invention.
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 I
claim
1 The preparation of paper for cigarettes by impregnating it with scent
substantially as above described.
2. The application of scented paper to the making of cigarettes.
IMPROVEMENT IN MATCH HOLDERS
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
I AUGUSTUS BERKELEY of Nº 15 Darnley Road South Hackney in the County
of Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for AN
IMPROVEMENT IN MATCH HOLDERS to be as follows:-
I propose to construct the match boxes or holders in various shapes sizes and
patterns of convenient material. The matches being laid between two oblong plain
surfaces and the heads resting against a smooth surface but on being withdrawn the
heads of the matches pass a roughened surface which causes them to ignite, but my
match holders are so arranged that by no mischance can any but the match so
withdrawn become ignited, as the heads of the matches are always resting against
a smooth material until withdrawn.
I am aware that match holders have been somewhat similarly made with the
matches resting between two rough surfaces whereby they are liable to ignite
spontaneously and upon one being withdrawn there was a great liability to ignite
the remainder.

page_text: I AUGUSTUS BERKELEY of N° 15 Darnley Road South Hackney in the County
of Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
AN IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY HOLDERS FOR MATCHES and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :—
I propose to construct the match holders in various shapes sizes and patterns of
any convenient material of an oblong or other convenient shape in such a manner
that the matches shall be placed between two plain surfaces the upper parts of
which are roughened or coated or prepared with a suitable surface on which
matches ignite, the said roughened or other surface being of about at to of an
inch wide so that on the withdrawal of a match its nead shall pass the said
roughened or prepared surfaces in such a manner that the match becomes ignited,
but the heads of the matches always, rest against a smooth surface at the bottom of
the holder until withdrawn.
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 construction of match holders in which the matchos are held in single rows
between smooth surfaces the outer edges of which are roughened substantially as
and for the purpose described.
CASTRATING LAMBS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I WILLIAM JOHN GREGORY of the Manor Farm in the Parish of Little Brickhill
in the County of Buckingham Farm Bailiff do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for CASTRATING LAMBS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
A person holds the Lamb which is to be castrated whilst the operator cuts with
a knife or other instrument a piece of skin from the scootum of the lamb. This
permits the stones to be pressed forward, then the instrument for which the patent
is asked, is applied to each stone which fits in a hollow groove or bowl of the
instrument. When the instrument is closed there is a semi-circular notch which
allows the sinew to which the stone is attached to pass between the two grooves,
this prevents the sinew from being bruised, pinched or severed, and the stone is
then drawn steadily out.
The accompanying drawing shows the instrument herein refered to.
Fig 1 shows the instrument open, A being the groove or hollow; B being the
semi-circular notch; C the handles.
Figure 2 shows the instrument closed.
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 instrument herein described.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CONDUITS FOR THE ROPES OR CABLES OF CABLE RAILWAYS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co, Patent Agents
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CONDUITS FOR THE ROPES OR CABLES
OF CABLE RAILWAYS "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 conduits for the ropes or cables of cable railways, and
consists essentially in. constructing and connecting the top bars or slot angle irons
of a conduit in such a manner that they are strong and durable, and retain their
alignment as hereinafter fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is an end view of a cable conduit constructed according to this invention,
and
Figure 2 is a side elevation of a portion of the same.
A, A represent the side plates of the section of a conduit for a cable railway,
B the ribs, and C the bottom thereof, the said parts being of usual construction.
D represents the top bars or slot angle-irons which are firmly connected with
the side plates at the upper ends thereof, between the same and the ribs B.
The flanges D¹ of the irons D project outwardly in opposite directions from the
side plates of the irons, and overbang the space outside of the top of the irons.
It will be seen that the flanges D₁ possess increased strength over the flanges
now in use, as the latter overhang the slot and the space of the conduit, and are
thus unsupported, whereby they become irregular and are easily broken, the plates
or irons thus being destroyed.
The flanges D' overhang spaces outside the plates A, which spaces may be paved
or filled in, the paving or filling sustaining the flanges, and also bracing the same
so that they are rendered stronger and more durable than herebofore and caused to
retain their alignment.

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 a conduit for a cable railway, the combination of a tube and slot irons, the
said irons having outwardly turned flanges and being fitted between the side irons
and ribs of the tube and connected therewith, substantially as, and for the purpose,
set forth.
