I, CARLO BREZZO, of 38, Ifield Road, Fulham Road, London, S.W., Chef, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to preserve fish, crustacea and the like in a.
natural state and consists in hermetically sealing the fish, crustacea or the like in
a box of tin or other suitable material and subjecting the sealed box to the action
of steam or boiling water for a certain time. One or more whole fish or the like
may be enclosed in the same box and the void spaces in the box may be filled with
salt water or scented or flavouring liquid.

Improvements in the Preservation of Fish, Crustacea, and the like.
I, CARLO BREZZO, of 38, Ifield Road, Fulham Road, in the County of London,
S.W., Chef, 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 preserve fish, crustacea and the like in a
natural state and consists in placing the fish, crustacea or the like in a tin or other
suitable receptacle, in exhausting the receptacle and hermetically sealing it up
whilst exhausted and subjecting the sealed box to the action of steam or boiling
water for a certain time. One or more whole fish or the like may be enclosed
in the same box and the void spaces in the box may be filled with water, salt, alum,
or other similar preserving water or scented or flavouring liquid.
In practice the exhausting of the receptacle

In carrying out the above process a 2lb. tin requires boiling for about forty
minutes at a temperature of 110 degrees or steaming for thirty minutes at a pressure
of seventy pounds above atmosphere. A 1lb. tin requires about two thirds the
time and a 4lb. tin double the time.
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 process for preserving fish, crustacea and the like, consisting in heating

Improvements connected with Cycle and like Tyres.
WALTER EDMUND KERSLAKE, Mechanical Engineer, 16, Woodland Road,
Cherry Lane, Walton, Liverpool, EDWARD STEVENS HITCHCOCK, Merchant, 48,
Longland Road, Liscard, Cheshire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
Our invention consists of a simple and efficient means of protecting pneumatic
and other tyres, also the rims from being soiled or damaged when being in
transit. The invention is also particularly adapted to preventing tyres or rims
of cycles, when fitted with such invention, from dirtying floors, carpets, floorcloths
etc., after leaving a dirty road.
Our invention consists of a strip of woven fabric, sheet rubber, or a combination
of both fabric and rubber, or other suitable material. The strip of aforesaid
materials is provided on each side with a wire, cord, tape, elastic or other similar
material suitably secured at each side of the strip. The strip is also provided
with a number of tapes, eyelet holes, hooks and eyes or other suitable attachments
to enable the strip to be attached to the tyres and rims.
Each end of the strip may be further provided with suitable fastenings so
that when the strip is encasing the tyre and rim, one end will be secured to the
other, preferably with an overlap. As an instance of the method of attachment,
take any ordinary bicycle. It will be seen that by fixing one end of this invention
to the tyre and rim of the wheel and revolving the wheel, holding the other
end of the strip, the tyre and rim will be completely covered as with a glove,
the material on each side of the strip being, when fastened, of shorter length
than the actual length of the strip. It will also be seen from this that it is
unnecessary to take off the wheels, the strip passing easily under the mudguards,
stays, forks etc.

of cycles, when fitted with such invention, from dirtying floors, carpets, floorcloths
etc., after leaving a dirty road.
Our invention consists of a strip of woven fabric, sheet rubber, or a combination
of both fabric and rubber or other suitable material (1) (in illustration)--The
strip of aforesaid material (1) is provided on each side with a wire, cord, tape,
elastic or other similar material (2) suitably secured at each side of the, strip,
The strip is also provided with a number of tapes (3) eyelet holes, hooks and
eyes; or other suitable attachments may be substituted to enable the strip to
be attached to the tyres and rims. Each end of the strip (1) may be further
provided with suitable fastenings, so that when the strip is encasing the tyre and
rim, one end will be secured to the other preferably with an overlap (4). As
an instance of the method of attachment take any ordinary bicycle. It will
be seen that by fixing one end (4) of this invention to the tyre and rim of the
wheel (5) and revolving the wheel, holding the other end of the strip (6) the
tyre and rim will be completely covered as with a glove, the material (2) on each
side of the strip being when fastened of shorter length than the length of the
centre of the strip. It will also be seen from this that it is unnecessary to take
off the wheels, the strip passing easily under the mudguards stays, forks, etc.
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: -
A band or strip of cloth or other suitable material (1) in combination with
elastic cords; tapes, cords or wires: (2) secured to each side of the said cloth
in such a manner that the circumference of the edges (2) shall be less than that
of the centre of the band when encircling the tyre or wheel (5). Said band or
strip being secured in position on the tyre or wheel by means of tapes, cords
hooks, or hooks and eyes.
