An Improved Lubricating Medium to Prevent Heating of any
Bearing of Heavy Machinery, and to Cool same if Heated by a
Heavy Strain, and is specially adapted for Heavy Plate Mills.
I, ISAAC TRUBSHAW Stocktaker 43 Carter Street Middlesbrough Yorkshire
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 addition to and mixture of fine powdered oxide of iron in the form of iron or
steel scale, iron ore or any other form of oxide of iron, with the ordinary grease and
other ingredients used in the manufacture of lubricating mediums.
The usual ingredients of a lubricating medium are melted in an ordinary vessel
by heat as at present and the said oxide of iron, after being finely powdered is
added to and thoroughly mixed with the melted grease in proportions varying
according to the class of lubricant required.
In the manufacture of a lubricant for the bearings of heavy machinery such, for
instance, as the necks of heavy rolls used in the rolling of armour or other large
plates, the proportion of oxide of iron would be at least 20% to 80% of best
brown grease. This proportion however would be decreased in lubricants required
for lighter bearings, 5% of oxide of iron to 95% of grease being sufficient where
the medium is required to lubricate parts moving at a high velocity.
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
The addition of oxide of iron, in the form of iron scale, steel scale, iron ore or
any other form of oxide of iron to the grease and other ingredients at present used
in the manufacture of lubricating mediums.

An Improvement in the Wire Gauze Fabric or Netting Used in
Stands for Heated Articles, and in Devices for Heating Small
Pots, Pans, and such like.
I, FRANZ HUGERSHOFF of 28 Albertstrasse, Leipzig Germany, 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 has for its object to protect the wires of the wire fabric generally
used in stands for heated articles and in devices for heating small pots, pans, and
such like by coating or covering over the individual wires composing the fabric
with asbestos or such like fireproof material. The asbestos is preferably wound
round the wires in such a manner that the meshes are left sufficiently open to allow
the heat to pass through freely and without loss.
On the accompanying drawing a piece of fabric is shown having the individual.
wires a, b, wound round or covered with asbestos or the like.
The wires used for the manufacture of the fabric may be of any suitable metal
and the meshes may be wide or narrow according to requirements, it being, however,
always kept in mind that the meshes must be large enough to permit a free passage
of the heat.
The mode and manner of covering the wires may be varied in many ways but.
generally I prefer to merely wind the asbestos round them.
Stands or heating devices having the improved wire netting whilst being very
durable are not subject to the same loss of heat as those at present in use.
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 consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A wire fabric for heating devices and stands. for heated articles composed of
wires covered with asbestos or like fireproof material, substantially as hereinbefore-
set forth.

Improved Manufacture of Carbon Rods for Arc Lights.
I, JOSEF ROUBAL of 23 Myslikgasse Prag, in the Empire of Austria, Electrician
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 :-
It is well-known that during the passage of current between the carbons of an
arc lamp the voltaic are induces a passage of small particles of carbon, a part of
which is wasted unburnt. This process and the oxidation of the glowing carbons
binder the complete utilisation of the carbon; the positive carbon becomes pointed
conically and ceases therefore to give steady and quiet light.
In taking carbons which oxidise with difficulty at their surface the positive
carbon point acquires a round almost a cylindrical form, and the voltaic arc remains
central and a steady light is the result.
To prepare the carbons in such a manner that they do not oxidise at their surfaces
I employ the following process;-I impregnate the carbons with a composition of
equal quantities of carbon such as soot or finely pulverised graphite or pure coal
and a silicate or silex combination such as water glass and dry them rapidly. The
silicate combines intimately with the surface of the carbon and thus incrusts the
latter. The carbons are either simply dipped in the liquid or the liquid is spread
over their surface as by a brush or equivalent.
The carbons suited to a smaller intensity of electric current are advantageously
impregnated with boracic acid (BO,H₁) or phosphoric acid (PH₂O) or salts of
these acids.
It is obvious that the incrustation can also be effected by coating the carbon or
otherwise than by impregnation and the silicates may be diluted as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is;-
1. A process for the manufacture of carbons for electric arc lights so as to
prevent the oxidation of the carbons at their surfaces during their consumption aud
to prolong their life consisting in coating and incrusting the carbons with a
composition of carbon or graphite and silicates or with substances .containing
boracie or phosphoric acid for the purpose described.
2. Electric are light carbons provided with a surface incrusted with a mixture of
pure carbon or graphite and a silicate or with boracic or phosphoric acid.

We, GEORGE HENRY JEPSON of 54 Division Street, Sheffield, Sign Writer,
and JOHN MALLOCH of 18 Pomona Street, Sheffield, Ticket Writer, both in the
County of York, 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 metal show tickets particularly what are known as
"printed "lithotype" or "lithograph" tin tickets, the part to which the invention
is directed being the securing of the ticket piece upon the shank spindle or other

the application of heat which has the effect of discolouring or destroying the
printed matter. The invention does not relate to tickets which are hand- or oil-
painted after being finished, as the heating in that case is of no importance.
In carrying out our invention we secure the ticket to its shank or other support
by rivets screws pins or by clamping in any suitable manner so as to permanently
fix the ticket to the shank, the ticket usually being made of thin flexible metal like
tin and the shank of iron or steel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-

I, HERMANN FRECH of 3 Moserstrasse, Stuttgart, in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
The accompanying drawing represents the pincers in five views. Fig. 1 is a
side view. Fig. 2 is a top view of the pincers the toothed mouth of which is
composed of the upper part (a) and the lower part (6) and may be closed by the
help of a stop screw (c) which is lodged in the upper part (a). In the lower
part (b) of the head of the pincers, there is a movable screw (d) provided with a.
flat thread, which turns to the left and advances or retreats with the turning of the
handle (e) of the screw, to which there is attached a claw (f) slightly curved and
covered with a leather () the latter forming the support of the boot or shoe for
stretching the vamp. The guide (9) keeps the claw (f) in its right position, that
is to say, it prevents any displacement of the latter, but it may be dispensed with..
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 represent the same pincers with the difference that instead
of the screw (c) an excentric (C) with a fork serves to close the mouth of the
pincers.
-After
The pincers, above described, are employed in the following manner:-
the vamp has been fastened, in the customary way, on one side of the last, the
leather is gripped on the other side by the jaws (a and b) of the toothed pincers.
and tightened by aid of the thumb screw (c) or of the excentric (C), the claw is
adjusted under the last upon which is stretched the vamp and the screw (d) is
turned by means of the handle (e) until the vamp is tightly drawn on the last..
The boot or shoe may then be taken in hand to finish. The leather is so firmly
pressed on the last by the claw that any slipping of the vamp becomes impossible
owing to the screw tension.
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 :-
An improvement in pincers, used to stretch the vamps of boots and shoes,.
distinguished by the mouth of the pincers opening and shutting by means of a
thumb screw or of an excentric (C) and by the movable screw (d) lodged in the
jaw (b) of the pincers, as well as by the claw (f) sliding on the screw (d) and.
joined in its upper part to a guide (g) which prevents it from getting out of
place substantially as above described and as represented in the accompanying:
drawing.

I, ELISABETH VAWDREY NAISH, of Felt Mills, Wilton, near Salisbury,
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 object, the manufacture of a cycle seat pad from the
felting of a combination of different kinds of wool, or like fibre in which a certain.
amount of springiness is always present notwithstanding constant use.
Both sides of my felted springy seat pad are alike.
For the purpose of my invention I arrange a layer of fine merino wool to about
the shape of a cycle saddle seat and softly beat it, on this I spread a second layer
but of somewhat coarser kind of wool, and again beat lightly. I then cover the
cantle or back part A of the sheet as indicated in the annexed drawings with the
D71

page_text: wool of Australian cross bred sheep whose fleece is somewhat harsh, very wiry to
the touch, and flexibly curly, so that it retains its springiness under every condition
and rebounds on removal of pressure.
For the middle part of the pad, as at B, I employ wools suitable to resist leg
wear, and for the point C I employ wools of a solid nature as a liner.
I then cover with merino wool in reverse order to that first explained, the varying
thickness of layers being so arranged that the actual parts of the seat subject to
the most wear is the thicker to form a soft yielding cushion, so that the cantle part
of the seat is fairly thick and then tapers down to the point at the front where it
is about as thin as a single ply of cloth. I felt the several layers by the usual
felting process to amalgamate the coarser and the finer wools into a single body and
constitute a single fabric.
I sew round at and near the outer edge, and insert patches of leather at intervals
and punch holes for ventilating the seat pad and for lacing braid or tapes for
attaching the pad to a seat.
Both sides of my seat pad are alike.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction of cycle saddle seat pads in the manner and of the material set
forth the whole being fitted in the manner explained.

the following statement :-
A necktie or scarf woven in a loom in graduating widths so that the part that
fits round the neck is narrowed & shaped during the oporation of weaving, and
does not require shaping and sewing after leaving the loom.
The operation of weaving commences with the wide part of necktie as shown
by B to B in Fig. 1. Here all the warp threads (A) are interwoven with the
weft (D), but when 1 is reached the outside warp threads on each side of the
necktie remain stationary, and are not interwoven with the weft. The weaving
is continued in this way, the number of threads that are not interwoven with the
weft increasing until at 2 about one-third of the threads on each side of the
narrow part of tie (C) are stationary, and continue so (not being interwoven with
weft) while the weaving proceeds to 8, when the stationary threads (A) of warp
are interwoven with weft, beginning with those at 3 and gradually interweaving
all the threads to 4, when the other wide end of tie is woven (B* to B*). The
loose threads of warp (A) between 1 and 4 in Fig. 1 are then cut away from 1
to 2 and 3 to 4, leaving the perfect neck shaping of tie or scarf as shewn
in Fig. 2.
The same pattern is woven on each side of the scarf; which makes the scarf
reversible.
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.) That the necktie is woven throughout; the graduation in width from the

page_text: wide part of the necktie to the narrow part of the same, and vice-versa being
produced in the process of weaving, and consequently the necktie does not require
shaping and sewing after leaving the loom.
(2.) The necktie is reversible; that it can be worn on either side.

The main object of this invention is to facilitate the storage, and reduce the cost
of transit of boxes made of cardboard, millboard or the like; this we accomplish by
a novel arrangement of the various parts of the box, and by cutting and scoring the
material of which the box is to be made in such a manner that the box may be
packed for storage or transit in a convenient and portable form.

In Fig. 1, A shows wings or flaps on the two sides F; C shows a flap attached'
to the two sides B; D shows a strip of cardboard or the like pasted or otherwise
fixed in any suitable manner near two of the edges of the bottom of the box. The

When it is desired to erect the box for use the two sides F are set up and the
flaps or wings A are folded at right angles to F as shown in Fig. 2. The sides B
are then erected and the flaps C are folded down over the wings or flaps A and the
lower edge of flap C is put behind the outer edge of the stiffening strip D. By
closing the lid in the ordinary way the box is complete.
The bottom, sides, flaps and lid may be cut out in one piece and scored at the
lines of the respective angles to allow the parts to be folded into their respective
positions; or the bottom, lid, sides and flaps may each be cut independently, and
attached to each other at the respective angles by means of a strip of flexible.
material being pasted over the respective junctions.
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

Improvements in or connected with the Wet Spinning of Flax, and
Apparatus therefor.
1, JOSHUA VALENTINE EVES, of The Forth River Mill, Falls Road, Belfast,
in the County of Antrim, Ireland, Mill Manager, 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 primarily to the spinning of flax wherein the process of
boiling or bleaching the rove is adopted as described in the Specification of my
former Patent No. 8946 dated 26th day of May, 1891.
A certain amount of the gummy or resinous matter or wax natural to the fibre
remains in or upon it after it is so boiled or bleached and this has a tendency to
adhere or gather upon the rollers of the wet spinning frame in spots or patches
which are afterwards taken off again by the yarn making objectionable spots
upon it.
I find however that by applying to the rollers revolving clearing rubbers which
are saturated with a soapy alkaline or similar solution that such accumulation of
wax or gummy matter upon the rollers is prevented.
The rove is boiled bleached or chemically treated before it is placed upon the
spinning frame and passed through the water trough in the usual way before entering
the nip of the rollers.
Upon the rollers in the spinning frame are placed revolving clearing rubbers
covered with cloth flannel or other absorbent material and these clearers or rubbers
I saturate with a soapy or alkaline liquor by immersing them in a suitable solution
of soap or soda before being placed on the frame or I saturate them with water
and then rub a quantity of soap upon them or I may arrange a drip pipe leading
from a suitable reservoir or receptacle containing the solution which will constantly
drip upon the rubbers as they revolve and keep them saturated as required.
Although primarily intended to be used with the boiled or bleached rove the
rubbers or clearers so saturated may be applied to rollers when spinning in the
ordinary way or when the rove has been treated in any way preparatory to being
spun.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The application to the rollers of wet spinning frames in which boiled bleached or
other flax rove is being spun into yarn of clearers or rubbers saturated with a soapy
or alkaline solution substantially as and for the purpose described.

In carrying out my invention, I add small quantities of quinine to the dough, of
which the gingerbread, ginger biscuits and the like is or are made, and, in some
instances, I introduce honey in addition; the sweetness of the gingerbread
concealing the natural bitterness of the quinine. In the result, a tonic and
digestive product in a popular form is obtained.
For ordinary use, I have found that the addition of quinine in the proportion of
2 grs. to 1 lb. of dough suitable; but for special use the proportion of quinine may
be increased without rendering the preparation unpalatable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
In the manufacture of gingerbread, ginger biscuits and the like, the admixture
of quinine with the dough, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
