We, ROBERT DARTON GIBBS of Oldbury in the county of Worcester and JOHN
Cuxson of Wednesbury in the county of Stafford, Surgical Dressing 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 our invention relates to an improved porous plaster, and which invention has
for its object to simplify the production and to dispense with the operation of punching
said plasters as has heretofore been the custom.
We now proceed to describe our said invention, reference being had to the drawings
hereunto annexed, in which the figure represents a plaster made in accordance with
our improvement.
Said invention consists essentially of a piece of cloth or other suitable fabric A,
upon which the adhesive material B (commonly used for porous plasters) is spread
in stripes, leaving between them narrow spaces of the plain fabric. If however pre-
ferred, the adhesive material B may be spread upon the fabric in fancy patterns leaving
intervals or spaces.
Plasters made as aforedescribed are perfectly porous, inasmuch as the cloth or
fabric upon which the adhesive material is spread, is in itself of a porous nature,
therefore the necessity of punching said plasters with holes may be dispensed with.
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
1st. Porous plasters. consisting of porous cloth or other fabric having upon its

page_text: surface stripes of suitable adhesive substance and said stripes of adhesive substance
having a space between them substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set
forth.
2nd. Porous plasters consisting of porous cloth or other fabric having upon its
surface a suitable adhesive substance arranged in fancy patterns or designs substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

page_text: We, ALLISON BELL LENNOX, of 11 Finsbury Square, in the City of London, Engineer,
and JOHN HUBERT WHARTON, of St. Martins House, Ludgate Hill, in the City of
London, Financial Broker, and FREDERICK THOS MAYNE, of 38 Cornhill, in tho
City of London, Stock and Share broker, 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:-
Our invention relates to an improved clasp band which is applicable for bracelets,
anklets, for binding bundles of paper or other parcels together, for napkin rings, or in
any other similar situation.
Our invention consists of a strip of metal such as thin sheet brass (or other
material) which is capable of being lapped around the limb or other article which
it is required to encircle or bind, and it is so constructed that one end may be made
to easily engage and lock in the other when the two ends are brought together.
To effect this, out of one end of the band we form a suitable tongue, and through the
other end of the band for some distance we pierce one or more holes of suitable shape
so that the aforesaid ends of the band will engage and lock therein when drawn over
and allowed to slip back a short distance.
In order that our invention may be the better understood, we now proceed to describe
the same in respect of the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed reference being had to
the letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters refer to like parts throughout the
figures.
Figure 1 shows one method of carrying our invention into effect, and is shown in
position locked. It will be seen that one end of the band has a tongue A stamped out,
and that the other is formed with one or more bridges B under which the tongue
passes, thus remaining on the upper surface of the band without tendency to nip the

page_text: flesh when used for a bracelet or anklet, nor to tear the paper or other material when
used as a binder or napkin ring.
We may pierce the slit around the sides of the stamped tongue with sufficient
clearance to permit the bridge to enter the said recess and thus to be flush, or one part
within the other, without projection.
Figure 2 shows our invention unlocked.
Figure 3 shows section of bridge B and tongue A respectively.
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 :-
The construction of a clasp band with engaging tongue and bridges, substantially
as and for the purposes specified.

Farrior and EMILE DEJEAN of 82 Jubilee Street Commerical Road Master Farrier,
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 for its object to enable the animal to obtain and maintain a firm
grip of the roadway whereon it is travelling thus ensuring a sure foot hold and
reducing the risk of accidents through slipping or falling to a minimum.
This we effect by forming a continuous groove in the under face of the shoe and
fitting therein a hard india rubber pad furnished with a continuous heel piece term-
inating in a tongue which covers and protects the frog of the hoof. Such pad may
ho wedged nailed or otherwise securely fastened in the before mentioned groove.-The
heel piece is recessed on its upper side to allow the frog of the hoof to fit roadily
therein while the underside thereof is bevelled or tapered off to a pointed tongue.
Such heel piece is also made thicker in substance than the pad which fits round the
face of the shoe so as to render the heel piece more durable and also to enable the
heel of the hoof to take a firm grip of the roadway and thus counteract any tendency
to slip. An opening is formed in the inner rim of each heel of the shoe. These
openings allow the heel piece and pad to be firmly wedged into the shoe and when
so fixed it is secured therein by nails or wedges or in any other convenient manner.
Suitable recesses are formed on the inside of the outer rim of the shoe so that
when the nails or wedges are driven home they take into such recesses and so fix
the pad firmly in the groove.

page_text: Fig. 2 is an end view of the back of the continuous heel piece d¹ of the rubber
pad shewing the central tongue e and the recess or depression forme: therein to
receive the frog of the hoof.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a horse shoe fitted with a rubber pad having a continuous
heel piece according to our invention. In this view the bevelled or underside of the
tongue is shewn tappered off to a point. In this figure represents the nail heads.
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
1° In combination with a horse shoe forming a groove around the under faco
thereof and two openings in the inner rim of such shoe at the heel leading into sucli
groove and likewise suitable recesses for the reception of nails or wedges on the inside
of the outer rim of such shoe and fitting the sano with a rubber pad furnished with
a continuous heel piece all constructed arranged combined and fitted substantially in
the manner and for the purposes herein before described and shewn.

I, GUSTAV VICTOR MORAWETZ of Prague, Bohemia, Glass Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This Invention relates to improvements in the glass chimneys of lamps wherein
flat burners are employed and it has for its object through a peculiar formation of
the chimney to render the same more durable or less liable to breakage than chimneys
as ordinarily made for use with flat burners.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a longitudinal section of the improved
chimney, Figure 2 an elevation thereof, Figure 3 a plan looking from beneath
upwards and Figure 4 a plan looking from above.
As shewn by these figures there is given to the under part of the chimney sufficient
width to prevent the flame from coming in contact with the glass. Above the
socket F the base of the chimney is considerably widened horizontally as seen at E
from whence the body rises with the O, G, formation shewn by figures 1 and 2 and
ends in the cylindrical part K, thus giving the chimney a large air space I, due to
the horizontal widening of the base. With chimneys as heretofore made, the wide
horizontal base E is not provided and the taper decreases gradually up to the part K
whereby a comparatively smaller air space I is obtained than in the improved chimney
numerous experiments with which have proved that it has the greatest durability
even under most unfavorable circumstances, and that it has also the effect of
considerably increasing the intensity of the light as compared with chimneys for flat
burners hitherto employed. The wider body I of the chimney provides for a greater
volume of air around the flame which is thereby prevented from coming in contact

page_text: with the glass and fracturing or bursting the chimney and the said greater volume of
air increasing the intensity of the light the improved chimney enables a saving of oil
to be effected.
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 lamp chimney having an extended horizontal base at E above the socket F, and
from which base the body of the chimney rises substantially as indicated on the
annexed drawings to the cylindrical upper part K.

page_text: Relief Valves for Allowing Water to Escape from Steam Engine
Cylinders, Steam Pipes, and the like.
ROBERT BAIRD 134 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow Oil Merchant, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
There is a hollow vessel through which a spindle passes forming a valve at each
of its extremities. The valve, on the end nearest the cylinder, when acted on by
the pressure at each admission of steam, is opened, and the valve at the outlet end
is shut, so that any water that may be drained from the cylinder is kept in the
hollow vessel until the pressure is off, when the innermost valve is closed, by a
spiral spring encircling the spindle of what may be called the double valve, and
the outlet valve opened, thus allowing the water to escape from the vessel in a quiet
way without pressure.
The portion which forms the seat of the outlet valve is moveable, and may be
closed up so as to entirely shut the two valves, or opened more or less as may be
required to give the necessary play between the inner and outer valves.

The object of this invention is to produce bread by an improved process and the
said process relates to the mixing of the ingredients used in the manufacture and to
the apparatus for cooking or baking the same; bread made by this process being
more nutritious and wholesome than has hitherto been produced."
The meal from which the bread is to be made is first deprived of the husks or bran.
The said bran is afterwards boiled and the liquor strained off and used to mix the
ingredients of the bread. Or the liquor obtained from boiling linseed may be
used for the same purpose. The ingredients used are of the ordinary kind such as
wheat, oat, barley, or any other kind of meal combined with yeast, barm or patent
yeast, salt, &, the whole being intimately mixed with and kneaded by means of the
liquor strained off from the boiled bran or linseed as aforesaid.
The bread so made is first placed in an oven, heated by steam and there partially
cooked; it is then placed in an oven surrounded with hot air, and there dried or baked
until fit for human consumption.
The drawings accompanying this Specification are furnished as illustrations of the
construction of the ovens used for cooking and drying or baking the bread, but they
may be of any construction which will conveniently effect the cooking and drying as
heretofore specified.
Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of the steam heated oven.
Fig. 2 is a partly sectional elevation of a furnace with a hot air surrounded oven
placed thereon, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The bread to be cooked is first placed in the oven A. The chamber B surrounding
the oven A is filled with steam generated under the said chamber or led thereto by
suitable pipes. The pressure of steam within the chamber is regulated by a safety

page_text: valve C. When sufficiently cooked, the bread is placed in the oven D, and there
dried or baked by the hot air produced in the chamber E by the heat of the
furnace.
Each oven is provided with suitable dampers to regulate the heat, and they are so
arranged that the ovens can be rapidly cooled.
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) An improved process of making bread by utilizing the liquor obtained
from the bran or linseed, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set

metal wire, which is retained in its place by any suitable means, such as, sewing
the binding over it &c.
Owing to the extra rigidity thus imparted to the brim, I am enable to make the
brim of exceeding lightness and pliability, thus lightening the hat and adding to its
wearing qualities.

I, GEORGE LLOYD BERRY of No. 16 Regency Street Westminster in the County
of Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to. he performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of cowls for chimneys to prevent
down draughts caused by the wind striking against the chimney and to obviate the
accumulation of soot at the bottom of the wind guards. For this purpose I make the
cowl as shewn by the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 being a side view and Fig 2 a
sectional plan. A is the chimney tube which has four vertical narrow openings or
slits B and is closed at the top by a plate somewhat larger than the tube A. This
plate has four straight sides to which are fixed the upper edges of four wind guard
plates D parallel with the four slits B. The lower end of each of these windguards
is made V slumped presenting an angle which is bent inwards and fixed to the chimney
tube A. As the part of each windguard which is attached to the chimney tube is
very narrow, there is little room for lodging soot or dust under the slits B.
windguard plates D are made of such width and are so placed relatively to the slits B
that whatever be the direction of the wind, there is little or no risk of its being
directed into any of the slits to cause down draught.
The
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 construction of chimney cowl herein described and illustrated.

Floating Vessels.
We ALFRED GREIG Engineer Suffolk House Cannon Street in the City of London
and ALEXANDER CARSAR FRANKLIN Engineer of No. 1 St. Andrews Terrace Portslade
in the County of Sussex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
Our invention relates to a construction of ships, boats and other floating vessels in
such a manner as to obtain great strength with comparatively little weight and to
dispense with much of the framing usually required for such structures.
For this purpose, we form the sides and bilge or bottom of the vessel, and in some
cases the deck, of a double thickness of thin corrugated plates, preferably of steel,
with a space between the two skins which we fill with cork or other light elastic
material suitable for resisting penetration of shot. We make the outer skin with the
corrugations extending longitudinally so as to give little resistance to the advance of
the vessel but to impede its rolling; and we preferably make the inner skin with its
corrugations transverse to those of the outer skin, thus obtaining the stiffness for
which internal ribs are usually required.
