Improved Press Copying Paper.
I, MORIZ FRISCH, of 21 Wipplingerstrasse Vienna, in the Empire of Austria, Printer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improved press copying paper which forms the subject of this invention, has
the property of always remaining moist wherefore it is not necessary to moisten it
before using it for copying writings and the like. The said property is imparted to
the paper by imbibing the same with a solution of a hygroscopic substance.
For preparing this improved constantly moist copying paper, thin paper or silk
paper is imbibed with a solution of chloride of calcium or chloride of magnesium or of
a mixture of these two substances in water. If so preferred, glycerine may be added
to the solution but this is not, however, necessary.
The paper thus treated does not fully dry because the said hygroscopic substances
retain a portion of the moisture.

Improvements in the Means of Lessening or Impeding the Trans-
mission of Vibration from Railway Carriages to Passengers
therein.
I GEORGE HALL POWELL of 104 Newgate Street in the City of London Dealer
in Linoleum 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:-
When a railway carriage is in motion the floor vibrates and if there be nothing to
intercept it the vibration is communicated to the bodies of the passengers travelling in
such carriage causing discomfort and in some cases bodily harm. The mats & rugs
used in first class carriages lessen this vibration to a certain extent but I find that a
more effectual method of intercepting it is to cover the floor of the carriage with a
substance such as that known as Cork Carpet, composed of a combination of cork
& linseed oil pressed between heated rollers upon a foundation of canvas and
made so that the particles which compose it coliere comparatively loosely. This
substance must be of the thickness of a quarter of an inch or more and when the floor
of a railway carriage is covered with it the vibration of the floor becomes transmitted
to the particles composing the substance and is thereby lost or deadened. The cover-
ing is to be cut to suit the floor of the railway carriage & may either be simply laid
upon it or pasted thereon in the ordinary way. A covering of such material is warm
to the feet and capable of being printed with any number of suitable patterns, in any
number & combination of colours, and by using it as above the rug or mat usually
placed in well-furnished railway carriages may be entirely dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
1. The application to the floors of railway carriages of a covering composed of
cork, linseed oil & canvas in the manner indicated above for the purpose of lessening
or impeding the transmission of the vibration of the floors of such carriages to
passengers therein.
2. The application to the floors of railway carriages of a covering composed of
cork, linseed oil & canvas in the manner indicated above for the combined purposes
of constituting in such carriages a carpet or mat and lessening or impeding the trans-
mission of the vibration of the floors of such carriages when in motion to passengers
therein.

I, REGINALD HADDAN of the firm of Herbert & Co. Patent Agents of
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C. London in the County of Middlesex, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a communication to me
from abroad by Michael Lausen Utzon of Dalby Mill near Kolding in the Kingdom
of Denmark, Miller, 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 grinding mills and more especially to the construction
and arrangement of the millstones or burrs.
The improved burrs are, an inner rotary burr in the form of a truncated cone and
fastened upon a vertical shaft whereby it may be revolved with power, and an outer
stationary burr in the form of a hollow truncated cone, strongly supported, its inner
or working face being preferably slightly steeper than the working face of the inner
burr. The distance between the burrs can be very minutely and accurately adjusted
by lifting or lowering the shaft of the inner burr. The burrs are constructed of
a body of cast iron or other metal having faces adapted to receive the facings forming
the grinding surfaces, said facings being either in one piece for each burr or
composed of sections and made of suitable material for the work in view, such as
hardened or case hardened steel, stone ware or the like. The facings are bounded
at one edge by a flange on the burr, at the other edge by an annular plate bolted
thereon. They are also fixed upon the body of the burr by ribs, or dowels, or even
by screws or bolts driven in from the face of the burr whereby their slipping on
the burr is avoided.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention Fig. 1. being a plan view, and
Fig. 2 a vertical section of the burrs and shaft. Fig. 3 is a plan view with part
of the facing removed, of the inner rotary burr.
a is the shaft, c the body of the inner burr, o the flange thereon, h¹ the facing,

Improvements in Boats.
I, ARTHUR MECHAN Neptune Iron Works, 60 Elliot Street, Cranstonbill, Glasgow,
in the County of Lanark, 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 :-
The
This Invention relates to boats made of thin sheets or plates of iron or steel, and it
has for its object by the adoption of an improved mode of plating to produce boats of
greater strength and having fewer seams than when plated in the ordinary way.
invention also comprises improvements in the construction of the keel whereby special
provision is made for hanging the boats to their carrying davits.
In the accompanying drawings figure 1 shows in elevation a boat constructed in
accordance with my invention, and figures 2 and are respectively a cross section and
sectional elevation of part of the boat's keel showing the means employed for sus-
pending the boat. The sheets or plates A are so laid and joined that the seams a
instead of being longitudinal and vertical as usual are disposed diagonally or inclined
as appearing in elevation, figure 1, the seams from about midships being inclined on
either side towards the stem and stern respectively. The keel is composed of a bar B
of iron or steel of rail section the web being deep and either having a flange or head
at top and bottom or at the bottom only. The plating at the bottom of the boat is
carried partly down the sides of the bar B to which it is rivetted and inside the boat
are carried two longitudinal beams or keelsons which are bolted one on each side of
the bar B. Near the stem and stern or at other convenient points straps D are
rivetted in pairs to the bar B and have holes in them through which are passed bolts E
also passing through eye bolts, hooks or shackles F to which are connected the cords
or chains from the davits from which the boat is hung.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A boat made of sheets or plates seamed diagonally and otherwise constructed,
substantially as described.
2. In a boat the combination of a bar or rail constituting the keel and straps or like
means for suspending the boat from the davits substantially as described.

Improvements in Wood Screws.
I CHARLES DAKE ROGERS of 21 Stevens Street Providence in the State of Rhode
Island United States of America Works Superintendent 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 the common wood screws the pitch of the threads is such that the screw makes
but small advance at each turn. If, to make a screw advance more readily, the
pitch is increased without changing the size or shape of the thread the groove between
the threads must be increased. By increasing the pitch of the thread the hold on
the wood is diminished. It is important in many cases not to do this at the point,
where by reason of the small diameter the hold of the thread is much weaker than
at the cylindrical part of the screw. I have provided for these cases by forming
auxiliary or supplemental threads between the threads which are extended from the
body of the screw. This improvement is shown in the drawings-in which Fig. 1 is
an elevation of a screw with iny improvement, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of
its point portion.
The main thread extending from the cylindrical portion to the point is indicated
by a. The auxiliary thread by b, lying in the space between the main thread. These
Screws can be formed by cutting away the metal, but can be most conveniently made
by rolling in the manner described in my United States Patent No. 370,354, issued
Sept. 20, 1887.
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 screw provided with one or more threads about its body or cylindrical portion,
and with one or more auxiliary threads upon its pointed or conical portion between
the threads extending from the body.

Chair Banding or Gimp.
I, RICHARD HICKMAN, of 8, Motley Street, Curtain Road, in the County of London,
Chair Banding 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 :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of banding or gimp for chairs and other
articles of furniture.
Heretofore such banding has usually been made of strips of leather, either real or
artificial, of considerably greater width than the finished banding to possess, the
edge portions of each strip being folded under and secured to the central portion
thereof, so as to stiffen the same and to finish the edges.
According to my invention I effect a considerable economy in leather or the like by
employing strips of leather of substantially the same width as the banding required
the said strips being stiffened or backed with cloth, paper or other other suitable
material and the edges subsequently trimmed.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a face view of a piece of my improved banding; and,
Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same.
a indicates the leather strip and b the backing (preferably composed of what is
known as book-binders' cloth) which is secured to the strip by suitable cement.
The outer surface or face of the banding may be embossed or ornamented in any
desirable manner, and the edges are bevelled as shown. The bevelling is advan-
tageously effected by means of heated cutters in the ordinary blocking press at the
same time as the embossing.
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 1
claim is :-
1. Banding or gimp consisting of a strip of leather or the like backed or stiffened
with cloth, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved banding or gimp hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

of Naphthaline or like Material.
We, FLEMINGS OIL AND CHEMICAL COMPANY Limited, Manufacturers, and GEORGE
HAMILTON FENNER Chemical Engineer to tho said Company all of 101 Leadenhall
Street in the City of London 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 construction of moulds for casting naphthaline or like
material in the form of square or rectangular slabs which are easily removeable from
the moulds, and can be packed for transport with great economy of space.
In carrying out our invention we make cach mould in two halves, the inner face
of each half having angular recesses, so that the two recesses when the halves are put
together face to face form a rectangular prism divided diagonally in the plane of the
junction of the two half moulds. By constructing the mould in this manner, the
material cast in it, on the moulds being separated, is readily freed from the moulds.
Each half mould is made hollow so as to bo kept cool by circulation of water.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a front elevation of a half mould, Fig. 2
is a transverse vertical section on X X of Fig. 3 which is a sectional plan on Y Y
of Fig. 2.
The mould is made in two halves A B each half having a hollow space C for the
circulation of water admitted at the inlet D under a slight pressure sufficient to cause
it to flow out at the outlet E. On the inner face of each half mould are formed a
series of angular recesses such that, on the two halves being brought together in
correct position ensured by guide pins g on the lugs G, the two sets of recesses
correspond with one another each pair together forming a rectangular mould. The
top of each half mould is formed with projections H which together form an elongated
funnel into which the molten material is poured. A number of pairs of such half
moulds may be put together back to back supported by lugs G, on a frame in which
they are clamped together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The construction of mould for casting slabs of rectangular section of naphthaline
or like material, substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in Shaving Brushes.
JOHN FEATHERSTONE, of 167 Queen's Road, Dalston, in the County of Middlesex
traveller, and dealer in fancy brushes and toilet requisites, and CHARLES JAMES
HAYWARD, of 101 Mortimer Road, Kingsland, also in the County of Middlesex,
Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the obtaining greater cleanliness and comfort in
the operation of shaving, by causing the superfluous water & lather, to pass down by
the base of the brush into the handle thereof, and its reflow or escape being rendered
impossible at whatever angle the brush may be held, by the arrangement of a tapered
cone or funnel, which acts as a trap in which the superfluent water is secured; The
said slop or waste, is to be emptied from the handle of the brush, by unscrewing the
cap at end.
It will be observed that the great annoyance experienced hitherto, by the superfluous
water or lather running down the outside of the handle of the brush on to the hand
while shaving, is entirely obviated by this invention. The action of the various parts
will be better understood by reference to the drawing. The superflous water is passed
down from the brush through the openings shewn at A A, into the funnel B, B, which
discharges into the handle of the brush-This article may be made in any kind of
metal, in ivory, bone, horn vulcanite, ebonite ivorine, ivorite, porcelain, papier-maché
boxwood, or any other kind of hard or soft woods.
Having thus described the nature of our invention, and the manner of carrying out
the same, we would have it understood, that we claim :
:
First The principle of the drainer to carry away the superfluous water from the
brush, whether in the form of holes, wire gauze, or square "openings," as shewn
at A, A.

page_text: Second The principle of the tapered cone, or funnel, which prevents the reflow of
the water or lather, after it has passed into the handle of the brush, (as shewn
at B, B.)
Third: The right of manufacturing or causing to be manufactured, this article, or
any of its parts, conjointly or separately.
In witness whereof, we, the said John Featherstone and Charles James Hayward
have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Fifteenth day of April, in the year
of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine.

I WILLIAM HOBART BIRD Glenthorn Villa Compton Road Wolverhampton, Lock
Manufacturer and Merchant 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 :-
An attachment for fanlights and the like for the purpose of securing the fanlight
when closed and to limit the opening of the fanlight to a certain and definite
distance.
The attachment consists of a multiple-jointed folding stay of steel or other suitable
material, connected at each end to a suitable catch or fastener in such a manner that
the act of opening the sash or fanlight unfolds the jointed stay which so soon as it is
unfolded to its full extent supports the fanlight in the opened position, the distance to
which the sash or fanlight may open being determined by the length of the stay
when fully unfolded or opened out.
The said Folding Stay may be used without the Fastener or Catch, to limit the
opening of fanlights and the like to a definite distance.
In the accompanying drawing A represents the Folding Stay: B B the parts of
Fastener or Catch.
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
