page_text: I, LEWIS BRADSHAW of Kettering in the County of Northampton, Brush Manu-
facturer 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 improved means for securing handles to broom and
similar heads, whereby a ready and more permanent attachment than heretofore is
obtained.
In carrying out my invention, I fix to the broom handle, at the end which is to
be inserted in the head, an externally threaded metal ferrule or cup having on the
bottom thereof a locking pin or spike, by preference also threaded. To attach the
handle to the broom head, it will only be necessary to screw the metal cup into
the usual hole in the back of the broom head, the projecting spike working its
own way into the solid wood, or into a fine hole which may be previously drilled
for it.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shows in elevation the spiked metal cup with a handle end attached
thereto, screwed into place in the hole of a broom head; and
Fig. 2 shows the spiked cup detached from the broom head.
The cup and projecting spike may be cast in one piece, or the spike may be
attached to the cup by rivetting in the manner shown.
It is important that the threads upon the metal cup and its spike should be of
the same pitch, in order that there may be no tearing by, or straining of, the
threads, when the handle is screwed into the head.
From the above description it will be understood, that by my invention a doubly
secure attachment for broom handles is obtained, by reason of the combined action
of the metal cup and projecting spike, which latter serves to hold the handle
against lateral strain, and this it effects in a great degree, even if there is no thread
thereon.
I am aware that efforts bave already been made to provide means for accom-
plishing the object which I have accomplished, but the double security which is
the special feature of my invention has not hitherto been obtained,
•

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. The means above described, and shown in the drawing, for attaching broom
and other similar heads to their handles, whereby increased security in attachment
is obtained, substantially as set forth.
2. In the attachment of a broom or similar head to its handle, the use of an
externally threaded cup or ferrule, in combination with a downwardly projecting
spike, in the manner described, and for the purpose set forth.

page_text: I, RICHARD HOFFMANN of Finsterwalde in the Empire of 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 an automatic steam lubricator, which conducts the
grease continually and automatically to the machine to be lubricated the piston of
the apparatus by which the lubricating material is fed, being exposed continuously
to the same pressure.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 shows a vertical section, Fig. 2 a horizontal
section and Fig. 3 a front elevation of the apparatus.
The cylinder a is provided with the screw cap s and is connected with the
steam before its entrance into the slide box by means of the tubes b and c.
The cylinder contains the piston k, which is connected with the toothed rack 2,
with which gears the pinion r situated on the shaft n. By means of the ratchet
work m and worm transmission gearing, the shaft w can now be revolved by the
machine to be lubricated whereby a slow motion of the apparatus corresponding to
the velocity of the machine is produced.
Above the piston is placed the lubricating oil, which is gradually and con-
tinuously conducted to the engine to be lubricated by the motion of the piston.
As also the part of the cylinder a situated below the piston k is in connection with
the steam of the engine to be lubricated, therefore the piston is exposed to the
same steam pressure on both sides.
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:
An automatic steam lubricator consisting of a cylinder with a piston, by the
motion of which, produced by the machine to be lubricated, the lubrication is
effected and which is so actuated that the same steam pressure is exerted on both
sides of the same,

I, HEINRICH KNÖLKE of 7 Devrientstrasse, Hannover, in the Empire of Germany,
Gentleman, 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 wind or wing mill, actuated by the wind, and used
for various purposes. The wings or blades fare hung upon horizontal shafts a, b,
(Figs. 1 and 3), in a hinge like manner; the shafts being attached to a cone frame
which is supported by, and works upon a vertical shaft having centre bearings, as
shown by the partial section in Fig. 1.
Each wing has an independent motion upon its shaft, and has attached to it a
counter weight sufficient to place the wing in a vertical position when the wind.is
not acting upon it. The hinges of the wings are provided with stops g so that
when the wind acts upon the wings they are pressed against the stops, and thereby
give motion to the framework or wheel to which they are attached; and as the
wings are made of sail cloth or any other light and suitable material; even a light
wind will be sufficient to modify the position of the counter weights, and to place
the wing at the most suitable angle to cut through the air..
Wind mills of this form of construction may be used successfully for various
purposes, such as working mills, pumping, ventilation and for other purposes. The
wing or wind wheel shown in the accompanying drawing is constructed with two
or more helically formed or curved blades e and is intended in this case for
ventilating large rooms or buildings, railway carriages, or clearing away the smoke
from all kinds of chimneys or furnaces.
For this last purpose, the wind or wing wheel is constructed in such a way that:
the shafts a, b, of the wings f, are fastened to the upper roof of the ventilation
apparatus or smoke disperser. This roof is made fast to the lower one, n (of open
cone form), by means of standards h placed at intervals. The upper roof or cone
ends in a central or step bearing upon the vertical shaft w, which is supported at x.
The curved blades are fastened to the roof n and the shaft w, with both of which
they rotate, when in action.

I CHARLES WEEKS of 27 Essex Quay Dublin Ireland Gun Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED COMBINED
APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING CORKS FROM BOTTLES AND SQUEEZING LEMONS"
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 certain additions to former Letters-Patent granted to
me the sixteenth day of November 1885 N° 13,963 for "A New or Improved
Apparatus for extracting corks from bottles" and is especially designed to produce
a combined apparatus whereby the operations of extracting corks from bottles
or crushing lemons may be performed at pleasure in an easy and convenient
manner,
My present Invention consists in attaching to the apparatus constructed and
operated as described in the above quoted Letters-Patent a suitable dish or cup
provided at the bottom with perforations to allow the juice of the lemon to escape
as hereinafter more fully described.
To the sliding block of said apparatus is also attached an arm carrying at its
free end a convex block capable of fitting into the dish or cup above described.
In the accompanying Drawings I find it desirable to reproduce the apparatus as
described and illustrated in the above recited Letters-Patent in order that the
nature of my present invention may be more readily understood.
Fig. 1 represents a front view and Fig. 2 a side view showing the complete com-
bined apparatus. A is the convex block mounted on the sliding block or carriage C
which latter also carries the spur d and is operated by the handle e and link f;
B is the dish or cup which is attached to the standard by means of a sleeve or
collar g so as to be capable of swinging round for convenience.
The action of my invention is briefly as follows. The lemon to be crushed
having been first cut in halves is placed in the dish or cup and the lever handle is
then pressed down when the convex block is caused to descend quickly and entering
the dish or cup crushes or squeezes the lemon to the extent desired according to
the
pressure exercised on the lever handle, while at the same time the juice escapes
through the perforations formed in the lower portion of the dish or cup.

page_text: It is obvious that my said Invention may be used as a separate and inde-
pendent apparatus for crushing or squeezing lemons only, or as a combined
aparatus as herein described.
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
B
First. In an apparatus for extracting corks from bottles and for crushing or
squeezing lemons the combination formed by the convex block A and dish or cup
acting and operating in conjunction with the cork extracting device in the manner
substantially as herein described and set forth.
.
Second. The use and application of an apparatus constructed separately for
extracting corks from bottles or for crushing or squeezing lemons in the manner
herein described and set forth.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CHIMNEYS FOR BOILERS
Year: 1886

page_text: Date of Application, 17th Nov., 1886.
Specification Accepted, 4th Feb., 1887.
I, DAVID GEORGE of Camden Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
CHIMNEYS FOR BOILERS, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to bo'
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures marked
thereon:-
My invention is a chimney or chimneys consisting of an outside shell or casing with
a tube or tubes running through from end to end as in Figs. 1 and 3, or across as in
Fig. 2 as I may think proper and in such a manner that the flame and smoke issuing
through the tubes may heat the water which surrounds the tubes before passing into
the boilers instead of cold water as is usually done.
Thereby effecting a saving of fuel and an economy of heat and steam. I first pump
or inject cold water by a pipe leading into the bottom or near the bottom of the
chimney as shewn in Figs. 1 2, and 3, letter (A) and as the water passes around the
tubes in the chimney it becomes heated and is forced out of the tube (B) into
the boiler.
In, this manner it can be applied to marine locomotive or to any portable boiler
either vertical or horizontal.
Fig. 3. is especially adapted for locomotive, marine or portable boilers having the
tubes only a portion of the way up the chimney so as to allow the chimney to be
lowered when necessary as shewn in Fig. 2.
My invention described above may be inserted or built inside a chimney stack or
may be used instead of a stack by lengthening the pipe of the chimney to any length
required.
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 boiler flues substantially as described and illustrated whereby the
heat escaping into the flue is utalized to heat the water passing into the boiler thus
keeping up the temperature and economizing fuel.
Sashes at any Required Height.
Year: 1886

page_text: Sashes at any Required Height.
I, CHARLES GODFREY GÜMPEL of N° 49 Leicester Square, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 means of holding carriage windows and other sliding
sashes at any required height, permitting them to be easily raised, supporting their
weight but allowing them to be lowered by application of slight pressure in
addition to their weight. I effect this by applying apparatus which I will describe
referring to the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention applied to a
carriage window.
•
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the door and window of a carriage shewing the
window raised to its full height. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view and Figs. 3 and 3*
are plans of one form of the clutch apparatus. In the recess under the window
into which the sash is usually lowered I place a bar A fixing it at its lower end.
To the underside of the sash frame I fix a plate B from which project downwards
two studs C and D that pass through holes in a cross bar E. The bar A passes
through a hole in the bar E and also through a hole in the plate B. Around the
stud C is a helical spring tending to press the one end of the bar E down, and
around D is also a spring tending to press the other end of E up, the tendency of
those springs being to cant the bar E into a slightly inclined attitude.
In pulling up the sash by means of a handle F at its top, the clutch offers little
or no resistance, but when the sash is let go, its weight acting through the spring
on C depresses one end of E while the spring on D keeps up the other end. The
bar E being thus somewhat canted is made to grip the bar A with sufficient
frictional hold to prevent the sash from descending. On applying the hand to push
down the sash, this resistance continues until a collar d on the stud D meeting
the bar E causes that end of the bar to shift a little downwards thus releasing the
grip. The sash may be fully raised and made to catch over the sill bar Gas shewn
in Fig. 1. For releasing it when it is in that condition, it is only necessary to press
the top part of the sash outwards causing the sash to cant a little over a cross bar
or two side studs H as a fulcrum.

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
As an appliance for holding carriage windows and other sliding sashes at any
required height, in combination with a bar fixed in the recess below the sash, a
friction clutch attached to the sash and sliding along the bar, substantially as and
for the purpose herein set forth.

page_text: I, WALTER ALFRED BARLOW of 6 St. Pauls Churchyard in the city of London,
Patent Agent and Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention &
communication to me from abroad by Felix Engel of Graskeller, Hamburgh in the
Empire of Germany, Engineer, 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 an improvement in combs and consists of forming or
making the teeth inclined to the back or to the longitudinal axis of the comb.
The inclination is of an inward direction as will be understood with reference to
Figs 1 and 3 of the drawings. The teeth of combs hithertoo in use are arranged at
a right angle to the back, or to the longitudinal axis or direction of the comb, as
is shown in Fig. 2. of the drawings, which Figure represents part of a side elevation
of a common comb. The object of the invention is to make the comb more handy
in use, a comb with inclined teeth as Fig. 1 shows, can be better and more easily
employed to be passed through the hair, than can a comb with rectangular directed
teeth and such inclined teeth will break and tear less hairs than the rectangular
directed teeth will do.
In using a comb the hand of the person using the comb is lifted and the comb
will with its free end be directed upward, in a way as illustrated by Fig. 1. of the
drawings. By arranging the teeth inclined or obliquely from the end of the comb
towards the centre or middle part, the teeth of the lifted comb assume a more or
less vertical direction and whilst being passed through the hair by moving the
comb downward, the teeth will in most cases be fully or nearly parallel to the
growth of same. This is not so by using a comb with rectangularly arranged teeth,
as in such case if the comb is kept in the handy position as shown in Figs 1 or 2.
the teeth will bend the hairs while passing through the same. As the inclined
teeth secure a softer and better combing, the teeth of the improved comb may be
made lighter and require less thickness than rectangular directed teeth. From this
Paine 677

page_text: cause a saving of material will result, which is of importance for combs made of
valuable material as for instance ivory or india rubber.
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 combes with the teeth set obliquely or inclined to the back
or longitudinal direction thereof in the manner illustrated by Figs. 1 and 3 of the
drawings, substantially as described.

An Improved Manufacture of Horse Rugs or Horse Blankets.
Year: 1886

page_text: An Improved Manufacture of Horse Rugs or Horse Blankets.
We, WILLIAM TERRY and JOHN TERRY of the Multiple Fabric Company
Bradford, Yorkshire, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our invention
" and in
for "AN IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF HORSE RUGS, OR HORSE BLANKETS
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our improvements in horse rugs are intended to make them answer more
effectually the several purposes for which they are used than those rugs at present
manufactured.
To clearly describe our invention it must be understood that no matter what the
number of plys of which the fabric is woven the warp threads are so arranged and
controlled that a shoot or filling of weft is placed between each layer of warp
which may or may not be of different thicknesses.
Both the warp and weft are composed of cotton yarns, the warp being an
ordinary strong one and the weft a soft one. The fabric is woven loosely so as to
obtain a cellular sponge like texture, whereby it possesses a moisture absorbing
tendency in addition to warmth.
Rugs so manufactured will be found very advantageous when placed upon
sweating horses, as the peculiarity of its manufacture and the material from which
it is made gives to it an absorbing or drying-up character, at the same time it
freely allows the perspiration it has received to evaporate which is exactly opposite
to the rugs at present manufactured, for in practice it is found from their closely
manufactured state that they lay heavily upon the horses back and instead of
absorbing the perspiration are found to reject it, consequently the perspiration
remains in the animals coat so that the body cools without drying and the animal
in consequence is liable to take cold,
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
is
An improved manufacture of horse rug comprising a thick cellular sponge-like
fabric, composed of a number of cotton warps, interwoven with a number of shoots
of thick soft cotton weft, so as to provide for the absorption and free evaporation
of animal perspiration as well as to afford requisite warmth.

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 this invention 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 relates to bolts for jointing railway rails, and has for its main
purpose to secure fish-plates to railway rails in such a manner as to prevent the
joint becoming loose by reason of the jarring or wear of the fish plates.
The said invention consists of a spring-bolt baving its head portion flattened
and bent as hereinafter described, and of sufficient elasticity to hold the fish-plates
firmly against the rails and prevent them from becoming loosened by being worn,
or by the jar to which they are subjected by trains passing over them.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a side view of the bolt and nut, and a cross section of a
railway rail and fish plates.
Figure 2 is a top view of the bolt; and
Figures 3 and 4 represent a modified form of the bolt,
a is the bolt, 6 the rail and c, c the fish plates.
The bolt a as shown in Figures 1 and 2 is formed of a round rod, flattened and
curved at one end to form a spring a¹ which acts as the head of the bolt; the
other end being threaded to receive a nut n.
The bolt is gradually flattened to form tapering sides to the end a¹ of the bolt,
as shown in Figure 1, in order to give the requisite degree of strength and
resiliency to all portions of the curved part a¹ forming the spring, and at the
same time give a flaring shape to the end which forms or operates as the head
of the bolt as shown in Figure 2 and also serves to keep the bolt from turning.
I prefer to make the bolt from a round rod by flattening and binding it to the
hook-like form shown in Figures 1 and 2.

page_text: When nut n is turned to tighten the bolt, the end of the spring a¹ comes in
contact with the fish plate c and yields more or less, according to the pressure,
in order to give the proper degree of resilience to the bolt. In the modified form
shown in Figures 3 and 4 the spring head a¹ is flattened and bent around into
a somewhat loop-like shape so that the curved side instead of the end will come
in contact with the fish plate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is
A cylindrical screw bolt having a flattened and bent spring head-portion
substantially as described.

has hitherto been possible with the common roller. The angle formed by the top of
table A when the roller D is at rest, without any weight on same shall be such that
when the weight is applied from either side the table of roller shall take such an
angle as is formed by the weight resting on its support at one end and the table of
the roller at the other and when a second improved roller is inserted will be parallel
with the plane over which it is desired to move. The roller consists of a hollow or
solid material D formned to work freely in its frame-work C. C. The upper portion of
such frame-work C to he the table A to receive the weight proposed to be moved and
may be made various shapes to suit the articles required to be moved.

and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1st. A roller with a table or platform to receive weights to be moved.
II. That the roller when placed in position under the weight to be moved does not
roll to the end and require readjusting when the weight and roller is in motion as is
the case with the common roller.
III. That the roller will move weights of varying and irregular surfaces such as
girders with projecting bolts and rivets etc.

I, THOMAS BELL of No. 23 Windsor Terrace, Newcastle on Tyne, in the County
of Northumberland, Shipowner do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
THE ECONOMICAL CONSUMPTION OF SMALL AND DUFF COALS IN MARINE AND LAND
BOILER FURNACES to be as follows:-
Firebars having on one side a "diamond" fluted edge, and on the opposite side
recesses to fit, leaving an air space of one-sixteenth of an inch. The bars are
about four inches deep, three-sixteenths of an inch thick, and half-an-inch from
the extreme point of the diamond" on one side to the extreme point on the
opposite side.

page_text: 1.018 18 eccted by forming
edge of each bar a series of projections and recesses-each forming on top one half
of a diamond figure-the projections on one bar fitting into the recesses in the
next leaving a thin air space between forming a "zig-zag" line looking on top of
the bars. The air passing upward between the lower edges of the bars which are
very thin and knife edged, must pass through these "zig-zag" spaces and is thus
distributed amongst the fuel on the bars while the bars are prevented from burning
by the air acting upon a large area of their upper edges. The air in its passage to
and through the narrow '
zig-zag" spaces in upper edges of bars at an increased
velocity of draft prevents the accumulation of slag or. "clinker" on the bars.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the formation of the bars and their
disposition to form the fire grate..
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is an elevation of one side of a bar Figure 2 an elevation of the
opposite side and Figure 3 is a plan of top edge. of bar. Figure 4 is an elevation
of one side of a portion of a bar Figure 5 is a section through centre of two bars
and Figure a plan of top of a portion of three bars laid in position to form the
grate. These 3 figures shew the bars full size for an ordinary marine boiler
furnace air spaces marked A A A,
.
The proportions of the bars as to length, depth thickness and of the air spaces
between them may be varied to suit varying requirements the essential condition
being that they shall be made as light as is consistent with strength and that the
air shall pass upward between them. and into the burning fuel with an increasing
velocity and be perfectly distributed over the surface of the grate.
The bars illustrated by drawings are of the following proportions which have
been found satisfactory in practice and presenting no difficulty in casting of the
usual metal :-
Length over all 4 feet 6 inches.
Depth at centre 4 inches at ends 3 inches.
Thickness at top edge at bottom edge 1
Width of space between bars at bottom edges gradually diminishing to near
top edges.

page_text: I, CHARLES HENRY PRIESTLEY, of the firm of B. Priestley & Co. Albion Mills,
Laisterdyke, in the County of York, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature
of this invention 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 relates to certain improvements in dress fabrics whereby a strong
and light material is produced; and consists in the combination of Camel's hair or
the hair of the Vicuna or Cashmere goat, either separately or in combination with
wool spun into yarn for the weft, which I weave into and combine with a silk
warp, and finish the fabric with the loose long hairs of the weft upon the surface
of the piece.
The combination of the above-named weft with the silk warp, produces a new
light yet strong fabric, soft to handle, the short hairs or down of the weft combined
with the silk warp forming the body of the fabric, but the loose ends of the long
hairs lay on the surface of the fabric.
The fabric is dyed in the usual manner giving to the body of the same a dull
appearance, but in finishing, the fabric is not singed or cropped thereby leaving the
loose ends of the long hairs, which have a bright appearance, on the surface of the
cloth, thus relieving the otherwise monotonous appearance of the fabric.
In finishing fabrics composed of silk warp and the weft of wool or goats hair
either separately or combined, hitherto the face of the fabric has been cropped or
singed to remove the loose ends of the long hairs that would otherwise lay on the
surface thereby making the face of the fabric smooth.
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 new manufacture of dress fabrics consisting of the combination of the hair of
the Camel or of the Cashmere or Vicuna goats, separately or combined with
wool as weft, with a silk warp, and finished substantially in the manner herein
described.
The finishing of fabrics having a silk warp, with the weft composed of the hair
of animals so that the loose ends of the long hairs lay on the face of the piece.

I, LOUIS LOISEAU of Brussels in the Kingdom of Belgium 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 an apparatus for screening or sifting, provided with
convenient means of separating the fine portions of the material treated which pass
through the sieve from the coarse portions which do not pass, as will be described with
reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 an end
view shewing the parts in the position which they occupy during the screening;
Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively back and end views shewing the parts in position for dis-
charging the coarse portions of the material. On a shaft E carried by two end frames A A
is fitted a tube J carrying a trough B which is thus free to rock on the shaft. E and to
slide to and fro along it. The bottom of the trough is a sheet I of perforated metal or
wire gauze forming the sieve or screen which may be altered to suit the material
operated on. A shoot Cis pivotted on a lower shaft and is connected by a link F
to the trough B. When the parts are in the position shewn in Figs. 1 and 2, the
trough B charged with the material is moved to and fro along the shaft E, and the
fine particles that pass through the sieve I are delivered by the shoot C on the one side as
indicated at G. On canting over the trough B to the position shewn in Figs. 3 and 4,
indicated also by dotted lines in Fig. 2 the shoot is also canted over and the coarser.
portions of the material discharged from the trough are delivered on the other side as
indicated at H.
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 and use of screening or sifting apparatus wherein a screening
trough and a shoot below it are both mounted on horizontal shafts and are linked
together so that during screening the finer portions of the material are delivered by the
shoot on the one side of the apparatus, and that the coarser portions are delivered by
the shoot on the other side when the trough is canted for. their discharge, substantially
as herein described.

A SHEEP DIPPING AND DISINFECTANT COMPOSITION
Year: 1886

page_text: We JAMES GEORGE SWAN of Forty one Port Dundas Road Glasgow Chemist
and ROBERT MACNAIR WILSON SWAN also of Forty one Port Dundas Road Glasgow
Chemist do hereby declare the nature of our invention for A SHEEP DIPPING AND
DISINFECTANT COMPOSITION and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
First. We take sixty pounds of crude carbolic acid which we carefully redistil
at a temperature of two hundred and eighty degrees Fahrenheit and we collect the
first forty pounds that come over.
Second. To the forty pounds of carbolic acid obtained as above we add eighty
pounds of heavy tar oil, or creasoting oil, obtained by distillation from gas tar.
Third. To the combination of number one and two we add sixty pounds of
oleate of potash, or soft soap, and mix the whole by stirring well together. We
produce the oleate of potash by acting on brown grease with a strong hot solution
of caustic potash.
Fourth. We agitate together ten pounds of petroleum and ten pounds of glycerine
and to the mixture we add one pound of a ten per cent. solution of caustic soda.
Fifth. We mix the numbers three and four solutions well together and to the
whole we add five pounds of sulphur in very fine powder. The carbolic acid of
number one will dissolve most of the sulphur and the rest can be kept in suspension
by stirring the compound before it is used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
Protection for the manufacture of the combination of redistilled crude carbolic
acid, heavy tar oil, oleate of potash, or soft soap, glycerine, petroleum and sulphur,
in the manner above described to form a sheep dipping and disinfectant
composition.
