I, ALEXANDER GRAY, of 36, Featherstone Street, City Road, London, E.C.,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The usual method of pickling castings is by means of acid baths which injure
cast iron by their irregular and penetrating action, and are very objectionable
when applied to copper brass or gun metal owing to the fumes evolved.
I substitute for acid baths strong alkaline baths of caustic soda or potash by
which all sand and scale are detached or softened without injurious action on
the metal.

An Electric Winch suitable for Ash Hoists and such like appliances.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co., LIMITED, of 12, Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster,
S.W., Electrical Engineers, and ERNEST HOLMES, of 3, Champion Terrace, Black-
heath Road, Old Charlton, Kent, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the sanie is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a compact and simple construction of winch worked
by electricity and suitable for operating ash hoists on shipboard or such like
appliances.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view partly in section and Fig. 2
is an end view of an electric winch according to this invention.
A is an electric motor of any suitable known construction, having fixed on
its armature shaft B a grooved friction pinion C. Above the motor a winch
barrel D to one end of which is fixed a grooved friction wheel E, is free to revolve
on a shaft H which has fixed on its ends eccentric sheaves I mounted in bearings
in the end frames P Q.
To one end of the shaft H are fixed two levers the one K being a hand lever
In the upper part
and the other lever L having attached to it a tension spring S.
of the end frame l' is fixed a brake block F which is grooved to fit on the grooved
friction wheel E. A rope or chain being led from the barrel D over suitable
guide pulleys to an ash scoop or other load to be raised, the apparatus operates as
follows:-
-
While the motor is running should the hand lever K be free, the lever L drawn
down by the spring S partially turns the shaft H and its eccentric sheaves in
their bearings so as to raise it, thus withdrawing the friction wheel E from contact
with the pinion C and forcing E up against the brake block F.
The barrel is thus held stationary while the electric motor revolves.
When it is required to raise a load the lever K is pulled in the direction of the
arrow partially turning the shaft H and eccentrics in their bearings so as to lower
the shaft, thus withdrawing the friction wheel E from the brake block F and
pushing it into contact with the friction pinion C by which it is caused to revolve
driving the barrel D and winding up the rope or chain. For lowering a load the
lever K is moved sufficiently to withdraw the wheel E from contact with the
pinion C, without pushing E forcibly against the brake block.
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:-
An electric winch constructed and operating substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.

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 carriage lamps in which candles are burned and in which
the candle is fed upwards, as it burns away, by means of a spring.
Hitherto it has been customary to depress or compress the spring by putting the
candle in place, but the object of this invention is to provide means for depressing
the spring before the candle is put into place.
The accompanying drawings to which I will hereinafter refer illustrate a carriage
lamp part of which is constructed to embody my improvements.
Figure 1 shews the complete lamp.
Figure 2 represents in vertical section the tube or receptacle for the candle.
Figure 3 shews the candle tube in cross section.
The candle tube a contains, as is usual, the helical or other spring the upper
end of which is attached to or presses against and forces upwards the socket c in
or on which the end of the candle is placed. The socket c is provided with a
handle or button f preferably by means of a wire d, and the handle or button
projects through a vertical sloth formed in the casing a. The wire d may be con-
tained and move within a separate part or compartment e formed within or attached
to the casing. By means of the handle f the socket c may be moved up or down to
any desired or convenient extent. The bottom of the slot may be provided with a
cross slot or recess g into which the handle f may be moved when it is occupying its
lowest position so as to be locked in place.
When a candle is to be placed within the tube the socket is drawn down by the
handle, which, if desired may be moved into the slot g. The candle is then put into
place and the handle is released or returned to the vertical slot, so that the spring is
free to move the candle upwards as it burns away.
The handle, which may be formed so as to fold against the side of the casing as
indicated in broken lines, Figure 2, serves also to indicate by its position the amount
of candle unconsumed.
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. In a carriage lamp for burning candles, the combination with the candle feeding
spring of a handle or button which projects through the casing, constructed and
arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and as illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.
2. In a carriage lamp for burning candles, means or devices for depressing or com-

We, JAMES WOOLLEY, SONS, AND COMPANY, LIMITED, Pharmaceutical Chemists,
Wholesale and Export. Druggists, and GEORGE STEPHEN WOOLLEY, Managing
Director of said Company, both of Victoria Bridge, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 improvement in surgical trusses. The object of
this invention is to obtain in a truss, a pad, that while pressing on and supporting
the affected part, is sufficiently yielding to prevent pain being caused thereby.
We attain this object by the means hereinafter described reference being made to
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a surgical
truss constructed according to this invention, showing the pad with belt and straps
attached and Fig. 2 is a sectional edge view of said pad. In this invention in
lieu of cork covered with leather which ordinarily constitutes the pad, we construct
a cushion pad that is formed as shown in the accompanying drawing by enclosing
within a leather or other suitable covering b that is lined on one side with a
metallic plate as e either silk waste c or other analagous material that will retain
its elasticity and will not be affected by the heat or perspiration from the body of
the wearer. Said pad is stitched round as at d with one or more rows of stitching
by which firmness is secured.
The belt portion f of the truss is also filled with the same material. By these
means the pad may be worn with comfort as no portion of the pad will press unduly
on the affected part, but while supporting will yield sufficiently to inequalities to
prevent pain being caused.
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 surgical trusses the use of a pad formed of leather or other suitable cover or
envelope lined with a metallic plate on the side that is farthest from the body,
filled or packed with silk waste or other analagous material for the purpose and in
the manner substantially as herein before described.
2nd. In combination with surgical trusses the use of silk waste or other
analagous material for filling or packing the pad and belt portion of said surgical
trusses substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.

Improvements relating to the Incorporation of Metallic and other
Substances in Paper and Fabrics for the purpose of Producing
Electrical Elements therein.
We, CHARLES VALLOT and EUGENE PAUZE, both of 5, Rue de la Préfecture, St.
Etienne, Department of Loire, France, 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:-
Our present invention relates to a new or improved process of incrusting metals
or minerals in paper, and other like material for the purpose of obtaining a suit-
able article which, when it is brought into contact with an exciting liquid such
as salt-water, acid or the like, produces electric currents which may be employed
for healing certain diseases (megrim, head-ache or the like).
The invention consists in incrusting or encasing metal powders, or granules, or
small plates or other particles, or minerals in the paper paste during the manu-
facture of the paper. The incrustation is preferably made as follows:-Above
the first roller or cylinder of a paper-machine, we arrange a powder distributor of
any suitable structure which may be actuated by the paper-machine, so that the
powder, granules, or small plates are uniformly sprinkled on the paper paste,
whilst the latter still contains much water. The paste thus sprinkled with metal
particles is passed as usually through the various pressing and drying rollers or
cylinders of the machine whereby said particles will be perfectly encased or in-
crusted in the paper.
The metal particles may also be incrusted in hand-made paper, by sprinkling
the same on the paste when contained in the mould.
The paper manufactured in this way and which we term "electrical paper or
tissue" may be fixed against any other suitable tissue for the purpose of strengthen-
ing the paper and retaining or absorbing the exciting liquid when such paper is in
use.
The same result may be obtained by weaving metal threads together with hemp,
cotton, flax, silk or other textile threads on a weaving loom in the ordinary way.
The metals we preferably employ are copper and zinc. The paper or tissue
manufactured in the above described manner is adapted to produce electric cur-
rents when brought into contact or moistened with any suitable exciting liquid.
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:
The improved process relating to the incorporation of metallic and other sub-
stances in paper and fabrics for the purpose of producing electrical elements there-
in, substantially as above described in this specification for the purpose specified.

Improvements in the Binding of Books.
I, WOLF LOEWENTHAL, of No. 7, Feldstrasse, Brieg, District of Breslau, in the
German Empire, 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 the binding of books in such a manner as to obviate
the use of stitching machines and the usual folding machines.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the
letters marked thereon.
The sheets a are double folded at right angles thus leaving a rectangular face
presented outwards along the centre 6 of the fold and are thus not merely folded
Hat one part on the other as is usual. The sheets thus folded are placed on top
of one another, back on back, the rear surface or back thus formed is then coated
with glue or other adhesive substance and covered with gauze, paper, leather, or
similar material c. The adhesive material between the material c and the sheets
forms a firm connection rendering stitching unnecessary.
This method of binding books is especially suitable for scraps books and similar
purposes, because the back is formed thicker than the other part of the book
leaving a free space between the pages.
Books thus made will be found more durable than stitched books, which have
a tendency to come to pieces by the braking of the binding thread or wire clamps.
Glue or similar adhesive substance forms a much stronger and lasting connection
than that effected by any other means.
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;-
Books bound without the usual folding or stitching so arranged that the sheets
have a rectangular double fold in the centre, placed on each other so that the
rectangular backs of the folds are in alignment and connected to one another by
a cover of textile or other suitable material and an adhesive substance between
such cover and the end backs of the sheets.

Improved Protective Device for Incandescent Gas Mantles and
Chimneys.
I, CARL AUGUST WILHELM HORN, of No. 38¹, Gerhofstrasse, Hamburg, in the
German Empire, Honse Agent, 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 the present invention is a protective device for incandescent mantles
and chimneys.
In spite of the great advantages obtainable by means of the gas incandescent light,
as compared to most other lighting methods, it suffers from one serious drawback in
that by reason of the frequent breakage of the chimneys, and consequent destruction
of the mantles, the cost of the light, originally trifling, becomes very dear.
In order to remedy this there is arranged according to my invention within the
chimney upon the burner an open ring formed of sheet iron or the like. By means
of its excellent conduction of beat this ring withdraws from the chimney the greater
part of the heat so that the breakage of the same is effectively prevented. Further,
the ring serves to protect the mantle at its lower, and most sensitive part in a very
effective manner. The ring is preferably provided with an ornamental edge at its
upper part.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated diagrammatically the arrangement
of the said ring, chimney, and mantle.
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
clain is :-
A protective device for mantles and chimneys, consisting of an open ring of sheet
iron or the like preferably provided with ornamental upper part attached to the lamp
on the burner.

Improved Cramp for Facilitating the Formation of Soldered Joints
between Lead Pipes and the like.
I, MICHAEL WATSON, 1, Clayton Road, Jesmond, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Plumber,
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 an improved construction of cramp for facilitating the
formation and soldering of the joints of lead pipes and the like by firmly holding
the several parts in position during the operation.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed sheets of drawings in which like
letters of reference indicate like parts in any of the figures.
Fig. 1, represents an improved cramp holding two pipes ready to be soldered
together.
Fig. 2, an end view of same.
Fig. 3, represents the cramp supporting a branch pipe for soldering to a supply
pipe.
Fig. 4, represents the cramp supporting a bib cock ready for soldering to a
supply pipe.
The cramp consists as shown in the drawing, of six separate pieces of suitable
metal preferably steel, prepared with jaws for gripping the pipes and having slots
and wing-nuts for adjustment.
They are all shown of segmental form but although I find this the most
convenient shape I do not bind myself to this particular configuration.
Each segmental arm A, B, and C, consists of two facsimile pieces, or of one-
piece folded in the centre upon itself, and forming a pair of jaws at A¹, B1,C¹,
as seen in Fig. 2, and having segmental slots A2, B2, C2, through which are placed
small bolts with wing nuts A³, B³, C³, by means of which the arms A, B, C, can.
be adjusted and fixed in any position.
In the arm C, the mouth of the jaws is at the end of the arm and is closed by a
bolt and nut C4, while in the arms A, and B, the mouth is at the side.
In Fig. 1, I have shown the cramp holding the ends of two pipes P¹, and P2,
made ready for soldering together at J.
The jaws A¹, and B¹, grip the pipes firmly and the arms A, and B, are secured in
position by the nut C³, while the arm C, not being required may be turned to any
convenient position.
Fig. 3, represents the cramp holding a branch pipe P³, in position for being
soldered to a supply pipe P4, and in this case also the arm C, may either be
removed altogether or be turned to a convenient position.
Fig. 4, shows the cramp as employed in holding a bib cock or tap T, while it is
being soldered to a service pipe P
In this case the nozzle N, of the tap T, is gripped by the jaws C₁, of the arm C,
which is supported by the arm A, the jaws of which have a firm hold of the pipe P5
The arm B. is out of use.

Improvements in Folding Bow Cork Screws and other Bow
Instruments.
I, EDWARD TUTHILL MARKHAM, of 41 and 42, Cloth Fair, in the City of
London, Wholesale Cutler and Electro Plater, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
These improvements are applicable to folding bow cork screws and other fold-
ing bow instruments especially those made with snap joint. I make the bow
part of such a bow cork screw with a notch for the point of the corkscrew or other
tool to rest in so as to protect it and also the user of it, and the users pocket if
carried therein. Or instead of making a notch right through I form a recess
on one side of the bow part or a recess on both sides of same for the point to rest
in when not used.
In bow instruments of the kind, and having two or more tools I provide the
bow with notches or with recesses on on or both sides with the view of protecting
the points of the instruments and to prevent damage from them. In an instru-
ment fitted with a cork-screw and a wire cutter for opening wired bottles I may
thus as an example form one side of the bow with a recess for the point of the
corkscrew and the other side of the bow with a recess for the point of the wire
cutter. Again in an instrument fitted as another example witli a corkscrew, an
ice pricker and a wire cutter I may for instance form the bow on one side with a
recess for the point of the cork screw and another recess for the point of the ice
pricker, while the other side of the bow has a recess for the point of the wire
cutter. In order that the wire cutter may have its point thus protected it is
necessary to shape it so that its point reaches beyond the inner edge of the bow
instead of as heretofore being quite clear of it, which often causes damage to the
fingers of the user. By this improved arrangement the separate opening of any
one of the tools is facilitated without interference from the other tools. Also the
tools can be made longer without increasing the size of the bow or the space the
instrument occupies.

An Improved Cooling Arrangement suitable for Bottled Liquids
or the like.
I, EPHRAIM THOMPSON, of 70, Corner Unter den Linden and Bradbury Passage,
Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, Artist, 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 present invention relates to an improved cooling device for wine bottles
and its object is to provide a cooler giving a high efficiency by the automatic
revolving of the bottle within the ice container.
The accompanying sheet of drawings illustrates the method of carrying the
invention into effect as follows::
Figure 1 is a vertical section on an enlarged scale of the ice bucket with the bottle
and mechanism.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the complete apparatus on a decreased scale.
Within the ice bucket or cooler a the champagne or other wine bottle b rests
upon a holder plate and this holder plate is rotated by clock work d preferably
arranged within the bottom of the ice container as shown.
In order to prevent the bottle from being stopped by the friction of the ice and
the holder e only revolving, the holder c is formed with spring sides or catches so
that upon placing the bottle in position it is necessary to force it down tightly on
to the plate. Of course the bottle may be secured to the plate in any other suit-
able manner.
Figure 2 shows the champagne or wine cooling device mounted upon a suitable
support and the clock work situated in the bottom of the cooler a is wound up either
by a projecting lever such as e or stopper such as f.
It is evident that the rotation of the bottle could be effected from a distant shaft
by suitable belt or other gearing without departing from the subject of the present
invention.
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 improved cooling arrangement suitable for bottled liquids or the like con-
sisting of an ice container having within it a plate to grip the wine or other bottle
and providing mechanism to rotate this plate and with it the bottle all substantially
as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in and connected with Solitaires and Studs.
WE, JULIUS BENJAMIN and ISIDOR BENJAMIN, both of 1B, Friedrich Wilhelin Strasse,
Breslau, in the German Empire, Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be perforined, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to solitaires and studs so constructed as to contain and
expose coins and similar articles.
We will describe our present improvements with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of solitaires constructed
to hold one coin (Figure 1), and two or more coins (Figure 2), respectively. Figure 3
shews a vertical transverse section of the solitaire illustrated by Figure 2, drawn to
an enlarged scale.
Referring to Figure 3, it will be seen that the improved solitaire has its upper part
composed of a casing a, a disc b, a spiral spring c between the disc and the bottom of
the casing, and a flanged upper part e which may have any suitable fancy or orna-
mental form such as that of a miniature horseshoe as shewn. This flanged part is
not continuous, so that the coin or coins d may be slided into their receptacle, under
the flanged part as indicated by Figures 1 and 2. The depth of the casing a, is con-
trolled by the maximum number of coins or the like to be contained within the head
of the solitaire.
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:-
Solitaires and studs constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose
bereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
