IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPERTAINING TO CATTLE FOOD
Year: 1885

page_text: I, GEORGE LEWIS of Market Drayton in the County of Salop, Miller do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPERTAINING
TO CATTLE FOOD and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
"
This invention has for its object a cattle food that shall combine in one mixture,
the flesh, fat and bone forming ingredients of food in the best proportion for
feeding, and fattening cattle. I have found that lentils, Indian corn, peas and
cotton seed cake have excellent flesh and bone forming qualities, but that for
fattening purposes they are much improved by the addition of substances of an
oily nature. The oil however must be given in a form acceptable to cattle, and
this is best done when the oil is naturally combined with the seeds. I accordingly
add to the before mentioned ingredients, palm nut kernels and linseed which are
very rich in oil. If however these be added in their natural form, it is found
impracticable to grind the mass satisfactorily. I therefore grind each material
separately, and then mix and grind again.
The proportions I have found best as the results of my experiment and research,
are as follows;
400 lentils
400 Indian corn
200 peas
600 cotton cake
100 linseed
100 palm uut kernels.
This material can be sold in the form of flour, or compressed into cakes with or
without the addition of a little moisture, gum, or paste, and then dried.
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
1st The cattle food manufactured of the above ingredients, and in the proportions
substantially as specified.

page_text: 2nd The manufacture of cattle food, by adding to ground farinaceous matter,
and compressed seed cake, oleaginous materials such as described, and in about
the proportions herein specified.

Description of a Watering Pot made of Tin, Iron, Zinc, Copper or any other
metal of various sizes in the form of a Canister with a portion of the neck A
drawn in with or without a band B, so as to form the mouth C in the centre or
near the back of the vessel, Carrying handle made round or oval of either of the
above metals and joined to the neck D and spout E of the vessel, Tipping handle
made with one or more pieces of the above metals of tubular construction and
joined on the body G and neck H of the vessel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
"
1st The canister shape of the vessel.
2nd The make, shape, and position of the tipping handle, by which the vessel
is so balanced, as to allow of its being manipulated with one hand, leaving the
other free.
3rd The introduction of a carrying handle, which strengthens the spout, and
allows of the can being carried by the hand, in a natural position.
This new invention forms a Watering Pot, that is much easier to carry, and tip,
and at the same time being much cleaner, and more adapted for use than any other
put before the public.
IMPROVEMENT IN HATS OR CAPS
Year: 1885

page_text: CHARLES LIPMAN 63, 65, 67, 69 Oldham Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Hatter Hosier & Clothier do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENT IN HATS OR CAPS to be as follows:-
I introduce a pad of silk, leather or other material in the front portion of the Hat
that presses on the forehead & place between them a grease proof material I then
make a perforation through them all underneath the band going outside of the Hat
I also claim liueing the leather of the Hat with grease proof material.
CHARLES LIPMAN.

page_text: I, CHARLES LIPMAN, of 63, 65, 67 and 69 Oldham Street, Manchester, Lancashire
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 grease proof material well known in the trade as Grease proof" and largely
used for box hats has hitherto been inapplicable for felt hats as it will not stick to
them.
Now my invention has for its object the application of this material for all kinds
of hats, and it consists in applying this material to the leather sweat-band of the
hat to which I find it sticks admirably, while being on the inside between the
sweat band and the body of the hat, it is out of sight. As however this material
besides being grease proof is air and water proof, I pierce the leather and grease
proof material or the body grease proof material and leather, with a series of small
ventilating holes. This is done by punching, and the punch holes if fine and
numerous are almost unnoticeable and can be also covered by the hat band if
desired. In carrying out my invention I prefer to apply the grease proof material,
linen or cotton varnished on one side to the leather before sewing it to the hat.
When the hat is finished but before the hat band is applied, it is laid on a block
and punched in the way felt hats are ordinarily punched at the present time but
through both leather and body.
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The improvement in the manufacture of hats which consists in applying
grease proof" to that surface of the sweat bands of hats which faces the body of
the hat, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2nd. The combination with a bat having a sweat band lined with a grease proof
material of a series of holes punched through both the lined sweat band and body of
the hat, whereby while the grease is prevented from soaking through by capillary
attraction, the moisture, carbonic acid and other gaseous matter have a free exit.

I, MOSES HUMм of 727 Commercial Road London East in the County of
Middlesex Electrician do hereby declare the nature of said invention for FURTHER
IMPROVEMENTS IN ELECTRIC BATHS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
By means of this "Further Invention" my method of causing a current of
Electricity to pass through the body of a patient immersed in my Electric Bath
(as set forth in my patent No. 265. A.D. 1884, entitled Improvements in Electric
Baths) may be adapted temporarily to any bath in the manner following:-The
Electrodes for conveying the electricity to and from the water are composed of
Hexible metal worked or covered into a cloth each electrode being insulated on
the under side. For an ordinary sized bath the upper or spine electrode is about
cighteen inches long and about three inches wide. The lower or return electrode
is about two feet long and about six inches wide; the cloth is about 18 inches
wide and the relative positions of the clectrodes are shewn in the annexed drawing
in which A A A A is the cloth, B B the spine electrode, CCCC the lower
electrode. The connections with the battery are made by means of the wires E'E
and D D. The cloth at the upper end is attached to a board, the dimensions of
which are about 18 inches by six inches and has at each end a binding screw F F
to each of which is attached the wire from the electrode. By means of this Board
the cloth is attached by screws or otherwise to the head of the bath and hung in
the bath so that the electrode B B is behind the spine of the patient and the
electrode CC lies along the bottom of the bath a space of about eighteen inches
being between the nearer ends of the electrodes. Modifications of dimensions are
made to suit various baths. In addition to the electrodes placed in the apparatus
above described I make use when required of a moveable electrode to concentrate
the current of electricity on or through any part of the body.
For the purpose of conveying the electric current to the bath I make use of
batteries and apparatus specially constructed for the purpose.

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
A portable apparatus containing electrodes and connections so arranged as to be.
applicable to any bath for the purpose of using electricity as a curative power in 5
the manner set forth in my previous patent No 265 A.D. 1884 as aforesaid.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GOVERNORS FOR MOTIVE POWER ENGINES
Year: 1885

page_text: I THOMAS HEATHER of 42 The Common Woolwich in the County of Kent
Mathematician do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN GOVERNORS FOR MOTIVE POWER ENGINES to be as follows:-
ور
My invention relates to improvements in governors for motive power engines
which control the engine by regulating the flow of steam in its passage to the
engine as described in the specification of Letters Patent granted to James
Grafton Jones dated 16th September 1880 N° 3769.
In practice I have found that the form of the passage or chamber in which a
pendulum works allows the escape of steam or other fluid at a point where its
flow should be checked in order to stop the engine when entirely relieved of its
load or to sufficiently check it when the load is very light. In other words as the
throttle valve approaches the closing point the action of the regulating valve
becomes so weak as to be non-effective beyond a certain point.
Now according to my improvements the chamber (or passage) in which the
pendulum moves is tapered being made smaller towards the cut off valve and so
by diminishing the annular space round the disc increases the force of the forward
motion at a point where it was weakest and by curving the passage so that the
pendulum moves along it centrally and at the same time tapering it as before
mentioned I convert the pendulum itself into a vibrating automatic stop valve and
so get rid of the arms and levers or other gearing for working the valve as in the
specification above referred to.
Buffers may be used to check the entire closing of the valve and prevent jarring
or rattle.

page_text: I ARTHUR CLAYTON of Station Hotel, Bristwith, Ripley in the County of York
Publican do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:―.
The object of my invention is to construct a valve whereby the tap holes in
casks and other vessels are automatically closed after removal of tap, preventing
thereby the admission of air or water and avoiding the fouling of the interior
which usually occurs when such tap holes are left open. The apparatus is applied
in the interior of the cask or other vessel and is constructed as follows:
Into the tap hole is fitted a ferrule or boss which projects into the interior of
the cask. On this ferrule or boss and projecting beyond it is provided an india-
rubber ring, and outside this is fitted a metallic ring having a flange through
which such ring is secured by means of screws to the inner side of barrel end.
A valve is hinged onto the metallic ring and beds on the india rubber ring, and
by the pressure of a spring at the back thereof produces an air and watertight
joint.
The valve is pushed open by the insertion of an ordinary tap and remains so
until after such tap is with drawn when it closes automatically.

page_text: I, ARTHUR CLAYTON of Station Hotel Brist with, Ripley in the County of York
Publican 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 construct a valve whereby the tap holes in 5
casks and other vessels are automatically closed after removal of tap, preventing
thereby the admission of air or water and avoiding the fouling of the interior
which usually occurs when such tap holes are left open.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a transverse section of barrel shewing 1
my improvements applied thereto..
The barrel end is shewn at a provided with the usual tap bole b..
Into the tap hole b is fitted a ferrule or boss c which projects into the interior of
the cask. On this ferrule or boss c is provided an india rubber ring d and outside
this is fitted: a metal ring e having a flange ƒ through which such ring e is secured 1
by means of screws g to the inner side of barrel a.
"
A valve or lid h is hinged onto the metal ring e and beds on the india rubber
ring & and by the pressure of a spring i as shewn produces an air and watertight
joint when in position shewn in dotted lines j.
Any suitable spring may be employed for imparting the required pressure to the
lid or valve h
The valve or lidh is pushed open as shewn in drawing by the insertion of an
ordinary tap r and remains in that position until such tap is withdrawn, when it
closes automatically, over the orifice as shewn in dotted lines at j.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said a
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The arrangement, construction and application of valve, whereby the tap holes
in casks and other vessels are automatically closed after removal of tap, substantially
as and for purposes herein set forth.

page_text: represents a perspective view or my improved composing-stick.
Figure 2 is a transverse section through the same, showing one of the gauges in
side elevation.
Figure 3 is a detail view of one of the gauges with its plate.
Figure 4 is a view of the locking-key.
For the most part the stick is of ordinary construction, especially the base-
plate A, side wall B, and sliding knee C. The rear wall D, is also similar to the
ordinary walls with the exception that in my improvement a slot a runs almost its
entire length. The knee C may be held to the wall D by any suitable set screw,
clamp, or similar device.
In the slotted part of the wall D, I secure the gauges E, E, which serve to
separate and allow the several columos to be set up or begun at the same time.
These gauges are composed of metal, as is the rest of the device and are provided
with reduced necks at their rear ends (marked b) which fit into and pass through
openings in plates c, said plates being fitted to the slotted back plate or wall D,
and adapted to slide therein. The neck of the gauge projecting through the hole
in the plate c is screw-threaded, and upon this screw-threaded end, which passes
entirely through the plate c, flush with the rear wall, D, is screwed a thumb-nut
or clamping-screw d.
The inner surface of the plato c may be provided with a groove running
vertically of the plate, and in this the edge of the gauge is adapted to rest, thus
preventing it from turning.

page_text: The thumb-nut may be slotted or grooved on its surface, and a key (represented
at e) be used to tighten it.
The gauges, it will be obvious, are easily removed or inserted, and do not
interfere with the working of the device with the single knee, as ordinarily used.
Any number may be used, as will be found convenient or desirable.
I do not limit myself to the details of construction as described, as they may be
changed and varied greatly without departing from the spirit of my invention.
I am aware that it is not new to form a composing-stick with a slotted rear wall
and provide a hollow knee adjustable within said slot toward or from the fixed
side wall such construction being old and well known and I do not wish to be
understood as claiming such an arrangement, broadly, but,
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 composing-stick consisting of plate A, fixed side wall, the slotted rear wall,
plates c, adapted to said slot, the gauges adapted to said plates, and the tightening
devices therefor, all operating in connection with each other as described.
Year: 1885

page_text: We FRED COOPER and JOHN CHARLES WILLIAM STANLEY both of 19 Queen
Victoria Street in the City of London Gentlemen do hereby declare the nature of
our invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Ordinary emery wheels are well known and are made in various ways, several
different kinds of materials being employed to bind the grains of emery together.
These emery wheels are used for many different purposes in grinding and polishing
but are of little or no use in polishing brass as the surface is always more or less
scratched.
Now we have found that by using instead of emery a material made from Pyrites
or Mundic we can produce wheels which while excellent for all the ordinary pur-
poses for which emery wheels are used are also particularly suitable for polishing
brass.
The pyrites may be prepared and graded into grains of the required sizes, by the
process fully set forth in the specification to our application for Letters Patent
N° 41275 and we find that these grains or powder contain silicate or feldspar in
such form and quantity, as to combine with the silicate of soda or potash which
together with silicate of calcium we prefer to use as the binding material in the
_construction of these wheels (preferably in the proportion of 1 each of silicate of
calcium potassium and sodium) thereby enabling us to dispense with the addition
of the special binding material which has to be used in making the ordinary silicate
emery wheels.
As the process of manufacture of these improved wheels is substantially the
same as that for making silicate emery wheels with the before mentioned excep-
tion of one step in that process viz: the use of the special binding material and
will be well understood by persons skilled in the manufacture of the said silicate
emery wheels it is not necessary to go fully into it here. Suffice it to say that we
prefer to use the silicate of soda in a liquid state sufficient pyrites powder being
mixed with it to make a stiff paste which is then moulded to the required shape
and dried by exposure to the air or heat.
The "cut" of these wheels being peculiarly fine and smooth the polish obtainable
from them is much superior to that of emery particularly for delicate work.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1. The application of pyrites as a substitute for emery in the manufacture of
polishing or grinding wheels.
2. The manufacture of polishing or grinding wheels substantially as specified.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER AND THE APPLIANCES CONNECTED THEREWITH
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES PORTEUS CORNETT, of Ford Villa, South Hylton, near Sunderland, in
the County of Durham, Paper Mill Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER AND THE
APPLIANCES 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 paper making machinery by which the
manufacture of paper is improved.
The object of my invention is to produce a straight and regular edge on the
sheet of paper as it passes from the deckle strap to the couch rolls.
The press rolls and callender rolls are thus enabled to exert a more even
pressure over the full width of the sheet, irrespective of the condition of the
deckle straps, thus improving the strength and uniformity of the paper and
avoiding glazed deckle edges on the reeled paper.
My invention consists in the application of one or more jets of water or other
fluids impelled from a suitably formed jet or jets upon the edge of the sheet of
paper as it is passing over the suction box or other couvenient position.
In carrying my invention into practice I support a suitable jet or jets over the
wet pulp at the side of the machine; the positions of the jets can be regulated so
as to cut off the smallest or any required width of strip from the sheet of paper
or pulp.
The water required for the operation may be utilised in the suction box, and the
irregular edge after being seperated from the sheet is caught at the couch and
carried back so that nothing is lost.
The deckle straps can be used a greater length of time even when cracked or
rounded at edges, as the wearing of the deckle strap edge is of no consequence
seeing the sheet of paper or pulp is trimmed afterwards with this appliance.
It also avoids the loss and annoyance otherwise caused by badly fitted, or
imperfectly working, breast aprons as any edge knots, rolls, or slimes are
continuously trimmed neatly off by the apparatus-thus preventing same from
sticking to couch or press rolls, and otherwise causing the paper or pulp to break
at those places.

page_text: In order to show the distinctive feature of this appliance, I illustrate a suitable
application of same on accompanying drawing, but I do not bind myself to any
particular shape of apparatus, or manner of working the jet of liquid.
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 5
I claim is
The application of a jet of water or other fluid in trimming the edges of the
sheet of paper or pulp thereby enabling the press and callender rolls to exert a
more even pressure over the full width of the sheet, irrespective of the condition of
the deckle straps, thus improving the strength and uniformity of the paper and 1
avoiding glazed deckle edges on the reeled paper.

page_text: I, JAMES HILL, of 100ª Queen Victoria Street in the City of London Lock
Merchant & Wholesale Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for OPENING & CLOSING FANLIGHTS AND CASEMENTS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
I provide a jointed stay (Fig. 1) to be fixed at side of light. One end is fixed
to the top part of the frame (a) and the other end is connected to sliding rod (b).
There is a pivot to that part of the stay that is jointed (c) and the pivot is con-
nected to the light that has to be opened and closed (L). This pivot is connected
by a slotted plate (P), so that when the stay pushes out by the sliding rod (7) the
light is opened the pivot sliding in the slotted plate. The light can be closed by
pulling the rod down.
For small sized lights the fixing of the jointed stay may be reversed (Fig. 2);
that is, the top part of stay is fixed to the sliding rod, & the bottom part of stay
is fixed to the lower part of the frame. The rod slides in eyes or guides, and is
held in position by a set-screw.
I also provide a slotted rack to which a pulley wheel is fixed so that the light
can be worked by cord in lieu of sliding rod.
The opener can also be made to work by, what is known in the trade as, a "long
arm hook." The latter method is mostly adapted for lights opening outward.
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-Simplicity and easy action.
2-Suitability for heavy as well as small lights.
3-I claim the triple mode of working,-that is by either (1) fixed rod (2) cords,
or (3) long arm hook.

of "A NEW OR IMPROVED METHOD OF AND MATERIAL FOR GUMMING OR ATTACHING
PAPERS AND LIKE SUBSTANCES TOGETHER to be as follows:-
,,
In order to facilitate the gumming or attaching of say papers together I employ
a tape or riband of paper or of textile material gummed on both sides and which

gummed riband moistened and placed between two surfaces required to be attached
together is found to be very efficasious and most convenient in use dispensing with
liquid gum or its equivalent and affording a cleanly and ever ready means of
attachment.
The above mentioned gummed riband I prefer to make up in rolls and to prevent
the same unrolling of itself I pass a continuous elastic band through the centre of
the roll and round the periphery where it passes through a glass or vitreous ferrule
to facilitate the unrolling-or the same may be otherwise mounted on a roller upon
a bracket. Instead of being made as aforesaid in riband form this improved
manufacture can be made in the form of sheets gummed on both sides and by
preference perforated for convenience of tearing after the manner of postage stamps
and in some cases it might be convenient to use it in the form of wrapers.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEANS OF CONNECTING FIRE GRATES TO THE FLUES OF CHIMNEYS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JOHN BONNY, of Oak Villa Applethwaite, Windermere, in the County of
Westmorland, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEANS OF CONNECTING FIRE GRATES TO THE FLUES OF
CHIMNEYS, 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 the connection between the stove or fire grate and the
chimney flues in dwelling houses and other buildings; and has for its object, the
complete connection between the stove or fire grate and the chimney.flue hitherto
accomplished by brickwork, if a regular or complete connection can be said to be
made at all.
.
In many cases no attempt is made to gather the area of the top of the stove or
grate into the area of the chimney flue, thereby leaving an expanded space above
the grate or stove, which prevents the smooth passage of the smoke, causing smoky
chimnies and bad draughts.
I accomplish my object by securing to the top of the opening of the grate or
stove a little above the fire bars, a metal connection being a pipe or tube of the
requisite shape and area to convey the results of combustion to the chimney flue,
where the metal connection is inade tight. The tube or pipe is contracted
immediately after or above the junction with the opening at the top of the stove
or grate.
In the accompanying drawings Fig 1. represents a front elevation of a fire grate
fitted with my improved connecting tube, Figs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections of
grates, the former having a straight face; and the latter, a recessed stove: the
following Figures are details of the connecting pipes.
The connecting pipe suitable for a straight faced stove or grate (Figs 1 and 2)
is shewn in elevation by Fig 4, the bottom end at A. being made to the angle and
size to fit the opening through the top of fire grate shewn in plan by Fig 5:
the said pipe after leaving the opening is contracted in area as shewn by Fig. 6.
which is a section through B. B, then the pipe expands to fit the chimney flue as
shewn by Fig 7. or it may be made to expand and fit a circular or oblong flue as
the case may be.
The remaining Figs 8 and 9 are the side aud front elevations respectively of
connecting tubes fitted to recessed stoves, which are also contracted in area a little

page_text: above the opening through the top of grate or stove. By contracting the area of
the tubes in the manner shewn, the draught of the chimney is increased, thereby
more readily passing away the smoke and preventing down draughts and smoky
chimnies.
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 connecting tube between the top of the stove or fire grate and chimney
flue arranged substantially in the manner described and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.

I ARTHUR HART Viney Bridge Mills Crewkerne in the County of Somerset
Web and twine Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVED MILITARY OR OTHER BRACES to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to an improved form of braces suitable for military and
other purposes and will be found specially advantageous for cavalry wear.
The regulations of the "Service" require that the sword belt shall not appear
below a certain limit and in order to prevent the belt slipping down I connect the
belt to the braces of the ordinary character by means of extra tabs or straps of
leather or other suitable material suitably fixed on the two front parts and the back
part of the braces so that when the braces are secured on to the trowsers of the
wearer these tabs or straps will extend to the belt and be attached to it in any
suitable manner thus bringing the weight on the belt directly on to the braces at
the three points and thus preventing the sword or other belt slipping down.
These connecting straps may be made of various lengths to suit different require-
ments and may be attached in any suitable manner to the belt.

A NOVEL NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINK be
Year: 1885

page_text: I THOMAS FOSTER WILKINS, of 65 Linden Gardens, Chiswick, in the County of
Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A NOVEL
NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINK be as follows:-
My Invention relates to a non-alcoholic drink which I prepare in the following
manner:-
I take say one ounce of Kola Nuts broken up and roasted in a similar way to
Coffee, which I infuse in about one pint of boiling water for say half an hour.
I make infusions of similar strength of Coca leaves, Maté and Hops-allowing
the infusion only to be continued so long as can be done without thickening
(I would here observe that the Maté should not be kept in the water longer than
five minutes).
Instead of infusions I may find it desirable to use decoctions, or solutions of the
Extracts.
To each of these infusions, or their equivalents I add Salicylic Acid in the
proportion of about half a grain to the fluid ounce.
I propose to combine these ingredients in different proportions in order to vary
the character and properties of the Beverage.
First. As an Aerated Beverage.
I mix my infusions in the following proportions or thereabouts:—
20 parts of Kola Nut
16 parts of Maté
2 parts of Coca leaves
2 parts of Hops,
and dissolve in each pint about 5 grains of neutral Ammonic Borate.
I then flavour secundem artem-dilute with four times its volume of water and
aerate.
Second. As a simple non-aerated drink.
I mix my infusions in the following proportions or thereabouts:-
18 parts of Kola Nut
10 parts of Maté
10 parts of Hops
2 parts of Coca leaves
and dissolve in each pint about 5 grains of neutral Ammonic Borate.
I then dilute and flavour-This mixture can be kept in Cask and be drawn out

page_text: Third. As a special drink for Athletes or persons engaged in long continued and
exhausting labor-either mental or physical-
I mix my infusions in the following proportions or thereabouts :-
16 parts of Kola Nut
10 parts of Coca Leaves
8 parts of Maté
6 parts of Hops.
and dissolve in each pint about 5 grains of neutral Ammonic Borate.
I then dilute, flavour, and if desirable aerate.
I would have it understood that I may omit the Hop Infusion when desirable.

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
1. A novel non-alcoholic drink composed of Kola Nut, Maté, Coca and Hops
prepared substantially as set forth, with addition of Salicylic Acid, and combined
substantially as described first-second and third of this specification, with addition
of neutral Ammonic Borate.
2. A novel non-alcoholic drink prepared substantially as described in first-
second and third of this specification, but from Kola Nut Maté and Coca-the Hop
forming no part of the infusion.
FOOT BATH WITH PORTABLE FOOT REST

page_text: DANIEL WILKINS FESSEY, Machinery Salesman 1 Worship Street London E.C.
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for FOOT BATH WITH PORTABLE
FOOT REST, to be as follows:-
A bath for washing the feet with an inverted (or turned in edge) to prevent the
water from spilling (or slopping over) and a portable foot rest with raised centre
on the top, and lugs or steady blocks for fitting inside the bath to give a steady

AN IMPROVEMENT IN FILTER PRESSES
Year: 1885

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, OLIVER IMRAY of No 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN FILTER PRESSES" and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
In filter presses as they are usually constructed the sheets of Fabric are more or
less strained by the pressure forcing them into angles or hollows of the plates
against which they lie and they consequently become shortly unserviceable. This
invention relates to a construction and arrangement whereby this disadvantage is
obviated as I will explain, referring to the accompanying drawings which represents
in section one cell of a filter press with this improvement applied thereto. AA are
two of the plates of the press which may be of wrought iron or other suitable
metal, having through them central holes B for passage of the material from cell
to cell. On the faces of the plates I place layers C of porous material such as
cocoa matting which forms a soft bedding for the sheets D of filtering fabric.
These sheets extend over the plates A and between these and the open intervening
frames or rings E so that when the plates and rings are clamped together, the
interposed layers of fabric make tight joints. In the lower part of each plate A
I drill longitudinal holes F and cross holes G so that the liquid which is strained
through the fabric D and oozes through the porous material C finds its way out
through the holes G and F.
Having now particularly described the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
In a filter press the combination of the metal plate separating cell from cell with
the filtering fabric, and the soft porous bedding for the fabric, substantially as and
for the purposes herein set forth.
Dated this 18th day of May 1885.
