Improvements in Means for Making Almond Paste Flavouring.
I, ERNEST ALBERT LAST of 62, Gipsy Lane, Forest Gate, Commercial Traveller,
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 means for making almond ice for
the purposing of flavouring cakes and similar articles, and has for its object to
provide a means whereby the paste may easily be prepared by the person making
the cake,
The ordinary method of preparing such flavouring is as follows. A quantity
of almonds is placed in a mortar together with about an equal amount of icing
sugar, and the two are thoroughly ground and mixed together with the addition
of a little rosewater. Beaten eggs are then added to the mixture, and the whole
is heated and thoroughly pounded until the required consistency is obtained
when it is spread over the article to be flavoured.
The above necessitates considerable trouble and to the inexperiencd it is very
difficult to get the required consistency, and in order to obviate these difficulties
I propose to prepare the almonds and icing sugar in the form of a powder mixed
in the proper proportions, viz, about an equal quantity of each and packed in
air tight tins or jars.
Within these tins will also be placed a certain proportionate amount of
albumen of egg and gelatine say about each of the quantity of either of the
other ingredients sufficient when mixed with the other, contents of the tin and
according to instructions given to make an ice or paste of good consistency.
The albumen of egg and gelatine will be also in the form of a powder packed
in a piece of paper or smaller in so as not to come in contact with the other
contents of the larger tin.
The powdered almonds and icing sugar are pounded together in a pestle and
mortar and water is added. The albumen of egg and the gelatine are mixed
together in hot water and added to the former mixture and the whole is
thoroughly mixed together and then it is ready for use.
No heat will be required in this latter method, and, owing to the proportions
of the various ingredients being correct, the consistency of the ice will always
be uniform.
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.-
far making almond ice consisting in employing

page_text: Bit for Horses.
I, AUGUST LUDOLF BETHE, of 8 Bäckerstrasse, Hannover, Germany Merchant 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:
The object of this invention is a bit for horses which can be used as a snaffle or as
a coercive means in the case of running away horses. For the latter purpose the
bit which has the essential features of an ordinary bit is provided with a simple
device acting on the tongue and on the palate of the horse and commencing to
operate as soon as the two reins are pulled up together so that the runaway animal
may be readily mastered by means of this improved bit.
The accompanying drawing illustrates such a bit. As will be seen the rod forming
the bit proper consists of two or more parts a and a¹ jointed together and carrying
at their ends the rings whereto the reins are attached. To one of these parts is
fixed the end of a spring b; the other free end of which may slide in guides formed
in the other part; this spring has for its object to bring the two parts a and a' from
the position imparted to them by pulling on the rings as shown in Figure 1 into that
shown in Figure 2 when the reins are released, the bit being then in its straight
and normal position. About midway of each part is fixed a link c and c¹ which
is arranged on the opposite side of the bit relatively to the spring b, these two links
being jointed together centrally.
When the two reins are pulled up at the same time, the parts a and a' assume
the position shown in Figure 1, the links assuming the position likewise shown in
the latter figure, a pressure being thus exerted on the tongue and palate of the
animal as well as on the lower jaw which is tightly clamped between the parts a a¹.
The animal is very sensitive to this action and can be readily conquered should he
have run away.
In ordinary circumstances, the bit acts as a snaffle bit as already stated, which is
operated by pulling the right or left handed rein according to the direction in which
it is desired to turn. When the reins are released the bit returns into its normal
and straight position under the action of the spring.
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:

page_text: Second.
In safety bits for horses such as above claimed, making the bit of two
or more jointed spring parts a and a' to which are connected two jointed links c and c¹
which, in the bent position, press upon the tongue and palate of the animal as soon
as the two reins are pulled up sharply, while the links clamp between them the lower
jaw of the same animal.

page_text: "Improvements in Cleaning Rods for Small Bore Rifles."
I, JOHN ELSDEN MARTIN, of 20 Exchange Square, in the City of Glasgow, Gun
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:
This Invention has for its object to provide an improved cleaning rod in sub-
stitution for the usual metal or wooden cleaning rod for use in cleaning out the
bore of small bore rifles, such as the Lee-Metford, without risk of injuring the
rifling of the barrel, and it consists in forming the rod of stiff metal wire covered
by a lapping or coating of leather or like soft and yielding material wound around
it, or by plating or winding a textile covering thereon. Such a rod would be
stronger than a wooden rod and would have the same advantages over the usual
metal rod that wood has, namely, that it would not injure or mark the barrel.

I, DAWSON BROWN HILTON, of No. 256 State Street, Brooklyn, County of Kings and
State of New York, United States of America, 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 a metal lath which is of simple construction, offers a firm
retaining surface for the plaster, and covers a large area with a given size of work
piece.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a face view of my improved lath, showing it in the course of manufacture
and before being stretched.
Fig. 2 is a face view of a portion of the lath complete.
Fig. 3 a cross section on line 3, 3, Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 a longitudinal section on line 4, 4, Fig. 2.
In manufacturing the lath, I first cut out a blank to form a herringbone pattern,
in which rows of parallel ribs a, a, sloping alternately in opposite directions are
separated by the longitudinal parallel strips a¹, a². The ribs a, are cut by a shear
and die in such a manner, that while being cut they are simultaneously bent, so as
to assume an inclined position to the body of the work piece and expose a sharp edge
at the top and bottom. In this way spaces a³, are opened out between the ribs and
at the same time the ribs are placed in the best possible position for retaining the
plaster.
The alternate longitudinal strips a¹, a², are grooved longitudinally on opposite sides
to form trough-shaped spaces that assist in holding the plaster and strengthen the
lath. Moreover by grooving alternate longitudinal strips on opposite sides, the
ribs a, that connect the serrated edges of said strips (Fig. 4) can be cut and bent at
one operation and without twisting.
After the work piece has assumed the form shown in Fig. 1, it is laterally distended
by suitable mechanism to reduce the angle of inclination between the ribs a, and
strips a¹, a², open out the spaces a³, and increase the width of the lath, (Fig. 2).
In this way the surface covered by the complete lath is not only greater than the
one covered by the work piece, but the lath is lightened, and its shape is one
excellently adapted for retaining the plaster.
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 blank for metal laths composed of longitudinal strips grooved alternately on
opposite faces, and of rows of inclined ribs that connect said strips, the ribs of
adjoining rows sloping in opposite directions, substantially as specified.
2. A metal lath composed of a laterally distended body having serrated longitudinal

I, SAMUEL SIDNEY BROMHEAD of 97, Newgate Street, London, Patent Agent,
(a communication) 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:-
Test papers consisting of paper saturated with solutions of re-agents, have
hitherto been obtainable commercially only in sheets or small books, from which
the operator tears or cuts away small pieces or removes pages for present use.
The present invention is designed to supplant this tearing off or cutting out
suitable pieces, by supplying the test paper in ribbon or tape form, coiled or wound
or otherwise arranged so as to have a projecting end which can be readily separated.
The ribbon of paper may if preferred be perforated at right angles to its length
so as to divide it into suitable pieces for use.
In order to have the roll of paper at hand, in as convenient a form as possible
it is desirable to enclose it in a cylindrical box made of metal or other suitable
material, with a slot in the side through which the end of the paper can project,
and be drawn out by hand from the box as required.
I will now describe the invention as set forth in the accompanying drawings,
in which
Fig. 1. shows a perspective view of covered cylindrical ox enclosing the test
paper in ribbon form with the end projecting through slot.
Fig. 2. shows the box with the cover removed and the paper coiled inside.
A is the box.
B is the test paper, shown with perforations.
a is the side of the box, where the slot is formed.
6 is the slot through which the paper is drawn.
This invention is applicable to all kinds of test-papers, such as litmus-paper,
turmeric-paper, sugar of lead paper, Phenyl-phtalein paper and the like.
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. Prepared test papers in ribbon or tape form, either plain or perforated, as
herein described and set forth.

posts. This panel forms no part of this invention and may be of any desired
construction, that shown in the drawings consisting principally of vertical and
horizontal rods and scroll ornaments arranged at the top and bottom of the panel.
C represents pillars which surmount the posts A and extend above the con-
necting frame or panel B. The curved upper ends of these pillars terminate in
offset or overhanging heads or enlargements D. E is a horizontal rail forming
the top of the end frame and connecting the heads D, so that the rail is supported
in an overhanging position, thus producing a slightly top mount for the end
frame.
The overhanging heads are preferably circular in form and ornamented with
a rosette or a series of raised circular beads, as shown in Figure 1.
If desired, the rail may be provided with a central ornament f.
When the improved top mount is applied to the frame at the foot of the bed-
stead, the rail is arranged to overhang the outer or rear side of the frame, as
shown in Figure 1, and forms a projecting guard rail for the same, while when
the mount is applied to the head frame, the rail is arranged to overhang the
front side of the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
A top mount for the end frame of a bedstead, comprising a pair of millare

This improvement relates to the peculiar construction and fastening of the seat-
border of a water-close seat. The border itself, which is preferably made of soft
rubber, has the form of a hollow ring, which is filled with compressed air.
In the annexed drawing is shown a cross-section of the seat border and the
manner of fastening the same on the framing.
The basin 6 which may be conveniently made of an elastic material, rubber or
the like, or of any convenient material, is connected with the seat border. The
border n, which may also be made of rubber or other elastic material is made
tubular in section, and is filled with compressed air. The under part of the border
has outwardly a string like or collar-shaped border n', which can easily be
introduced into a frame i and held by the same in a corresponding manner.
On the frame i are arranged grooved projections h which serve for receiving
feet or supports a. In order to prevent the basin 6 from leaving the feet, hook-
shaped springs are arranged on the feet, which can be either pressed back
into a corresponding hollow of the foot or connected by screws with the feet after
insertion.
The thus constructed closet-basin affords especially for invalids a completely
pressureless and casy seat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
An improved closet-seat of soft rubber, the seat border of which is filled with
air and can be fixed in an easily detachable manner into a groove in the frame
by means of an elastic projection.

same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
In boxes or cases for holding or carrying silk hats presently in use; the hat is laid
loose in the box. If therefore the box gets the slightest knocking about, the silk.
becomes ruffled and the hat invariably requires dressing before it can be worn. Our
invention therefore is to obviate this by so constructing the box or case that the
hat will be suspended from the inside in the box and no matter what ill-usage it is
subjected to, the hat, not being able to move about in the box, cannot in any way
become destroyed.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect, we have appended one sheet of drawings of which Figure 1 is a perspective
view of the box or case open, while Figure 2 is a section of the box or case
closed.
In carrying out our invention, we fix to the inside of the lid or cover A of the
box or case a block B, covered over with velvet, plush, or other suitable material.
Opposite this fixed plate B there is another block C which is adjustable and to
which there is fixed in any convenient manner a rod D supported on a bracket or
bearing E provided with a collar or loop e in which the rod D is capable of sliding
backwards and forwards. On one end of this rod D there is carried a spiral
spring F while the other end, which is threaded, carries a nut G, thereby enabling
the appliance to be adjusted to suit any size of hat.
The hat I is simply placed over the blocks B, and C, and the lid closed, and
there it remains suspended without in any way losing its shape, until such time as
it is to be used when it is readily slipped off.
The flanges H, H, in the inside of the box act as a support or rest for the back
and front portions of the rim of the hat.
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 :-
In hat boxes or cases, the arrangement for suspending hats from the inside thereof
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the
accompanying sheet of drawings.

LUKE SHERRIN, FRANK SHERRIN, both of The Gate House, Ingatestone, Essex,
Gentlemen, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
When water is flowing from a cistern or receptacle of any kind through a pipe in
the receptacle which is ordinarily closed by a plug or piston stopper, the outflowing
water gives under certain circumstances an oscillatory motion to the said plug or
piston stopper and this invention utilises the oscillatory motion of the said stopper
by attaching it to the end of a rod in connection with a crank shaft and thereby
converting the oscillatory motion into a rotatory motion for turning a shaft or wheel
of any machine.
We claim therefore the discovery of the oscillating movement of a plug or stopper
by water flowing out of a cistern or receptacle and its utilisation as a prime mover for
actuating machinery of any kind.

the following statement:―
When water is flowing from a cistern, or receptacle of any kind through a pipe,
in the receptacle which is ordinarily closed by a plug or piston stopper, the out flowing
water gives under certain circumstances namely, sufficient length of waste pipe and
a free escape of water, an oscillatory motion to the said plug, or piston stopper. This
invention utilises the oscillatory motion of the said stopper, by attaching it to the
end of a rod in connection with the crankshaft and thereby converting the
oscillatory motion into a rotary motion, for turning a shaft or wheel of any
machine.

Improvements in Multiple Wire-drawing Mills.
Year: 1897

page_text: Date of Application, 13th Sept., 1897-Accepted, 23rd Apr., 1898
Improvements in Multiple Wire-drawing Mills.
I, WILHELM KORNLEIN, of 70, Sulzbacherstrasse, Nuremberg, in the Empire of
Germany, Machine 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 multiple wire-drawing mills and has
for its object to provide means for regulating the speed of the draw cylinder and
thus prevent the rubbing or slipping of the wire thereon. In the accompanying
sheet of illustrative drawings, Fig. 1 is an elevation of part of a multiple wire
drawing mill constructed according to this invention, Fig. 2 is a plan of the same,
and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a draw cylinder and speed regulating device.
The wire to be drawn is passed through the wide end of the wire-drawing hole I
and around the first draw cylinder a, around which the wire is wound several
times. It thence passes over the lever-pulley 1 through the wide end of the wire
drawing hole II, upon the draw cylinder b and so forth until arriving at the last
draw cylinder.
The rates of circumferential or revolving speed of the draw cylinders is regu-
lated in the following manner: If the draw cylinder 6 requires a certain length
of wire such as is not momentarily supplied by the draw cylinder a, the wire loop
passing over the brake-lever pulley becomes naturally shortened and pulls down
the lever, so that the brake pulley with the planet wheel is braked and consequently
a more rapid rotation of the draw plate a takes place.
The sectional view, Fig. 3 of the drawing, illustrates this latter operation. Upon
the shaft or spindle S is keyed the toothed bevel wheel Z, above which the brake.
pulley B is loosely mounted upon the same spindle. The planet wheel P rotates
loosely upon the pin 1) in the interior of the brake pulley B. The toothed bevel
wheel Z, engaging with said planet wheel, is fixed upon the sleeve H, upon which
also the draw cylinder is mounted. When the band R does not exert a braking
effect upon the pulley B, the draw cylinder is stationary; when, on the other hand
B is fully braked, the draw cylinder rotates at the same speed as the spindle S.
Between these two limits any speed is possible.
my
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A multiple wire-drawing mill, in which the wire is entirely prevented from
rubbing upon the draw cylinders, the characteristic feature being that the draw
cylinder, through the action of planet gearing, is set in rotary motion whenever
the wire loop formed between two draw cylinders becomes shortened.

with reference to the drawings.

I, AUGUST JOHANNES THEODOR SEBELIN of 83, Niemannsweg, Kiel, in the
Empire of Germany, Retired Naval Captain, 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 necktie or cravat fastening adapted for use with
ordinary collar studs. The new fastening is illustrated in the accompanying
drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the invention applied to an ordinary stud.

In Figure 2 the two strips d and e pass between the heads and i of the triple
stud 9 whereby the necktie or cravat is also secured in place with the use of
triple studs.
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.) The necktie fastening characterised by a plate such as f with split tongue-
such as d, e, as set forth.
