Process for Rendering the Sides or Walls of Gas-reservoirs, Pipe
Conduits, and the like Gas-tight.
We, KURT ERDMANN ROSENTHAL, Engineer, of 31, Dorotheenstrasse, Berlin,
and Dr. JOHANN BILLWILLER, Chemist, of 44, Kanonierstrasse, Berlin, in the
Empire of Germany, 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 this invention is a process for rendering gas-tight the sides or
walls of gas-reservoirs, pipe-conduits and the like, for the purpose of limiting as
much as possible the loss of gas which occurs through its diffusion through the
sides or walls of such receptacles.
The process is as follows:-
Metallic salts, for example, chloride of iron, are dissolved in alcohol and the
sides of the gas-reservoirs, gas-pipes and the like impregnated with the solution..
The alcohol evaporates, leaving the salts in a very finely divided condition, and this
penetrates into the pores of the material to be made gas-tight. When the recep-
tacles are charged with gas, there is formed, in consequence of the component parts
such as ammonia and sulphide of hydrogen, found in all illuminating gases either
oxyhydrates or sulphates, the volume of which is considerably greater than that
of the salts dissolved in the alcohol. Where there is a sufficient quantity of
ammonia contained the process runs according to the following equation :-
FeCl3 H₂S= Fe2S,+6 (HCI)
C/HC) LỄ NH –6 (NH C
FeCl 3 HS Fe₂S,+6 (HCI)
6 (HCI) +6 (NH)-6(NH CH)
the resulting end-product being sulphide of iron and ammonium chloride.
The gas reservoirs, pipe conduits and the like, can also he made gas-tight, by
coating the surfaces to be tightened with tar with which an alcoholic solution
of Fe, Cl, is previously mixed, and after the alcohol has evaporated, introducing
a charge of gas. In this case the chemical re-action is slow.
If the tightening effect is to be brought about quickly, the gas-reservoirs, pipe
conduits or the like, prepared with the impregnating body, are charged, previously
to being used, with a mixture of ammonia and sulphide of hydrogen, and kept for
some days under pressure.
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 process for rendering gas-tight the sides or walls of gas-reservoirs pipe con-
duits and the like, the distinguishing feature of which is that the sides or walls

page_text: to be tightened are impregnated with bodies of a kind which enter into com-
bination with the component parts contained in the gases or other specially intro-
duced gases or substances, so that by chemical re-action an increase in volume
occurs, and thereby the walls or sides are made impermeable by gas.

I, NATHANIEL PALMER, of 76, Fetter Lane, in the County and City of London,
China Repairer, 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 my invention is to provide a simple and effective means for
securely fastening a lady's hat on the head.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood and readily
carried into effect, I will now with the aid of the accompanying drawings,
whereon similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts proceed more
particularly to describe and ascertain the same.
Figures 1 and 2 of such drawings are views in perspective shewing the clip
open and closed while Figure 3 shews the clip applied to a ladie's hat. Figures 4
and 5 shew detail views of alternative forms of the frame presently described.
My improved lady's hat clip consists of a comb a furnished with a shoulder a¹
and pull a such comb is pivotted in a hollow frame b and controlled by a
spring that serves to retain the comb in the required position. The teeth of
the comb are curved and form a series of hooks that engage in the hair of the
wearer while the points of such hooks are burred to prevent the comb working
loose and escaping therefrom. The spring c is mounted in the frame b just
above the back of the comb a and when the comb is manipulated by means of the
pull as the shoulder a¹ on the back of the comb comes in contact with and presses
against such spring which thus becomes taut and so holds the comb in position.
To provide for fastening the clip in the hat the top of the frame b is furnished
at each end with a small perforated pointed tang 6. These tangs are passed
through the hat and fastened therein by a pin 62 which is inserted in the per-
forations in the tangs.
Or instead of the frame b being made hollow it may consist of a metal plate
perforated at the sides and ends, as shewn at Figure 5, the ends being turned
down to form lugs wherein to mount the comb and spring in the manner already
described and shewn, which perforated plate can be sewn to the hat, thus dis-
pensing with the tangs b¹ and pin b².
In practice it will be found desirable to employ two of my improved hat clips,
placed one on each side of the hat as shewn in Figure 3, to ensure keeping the
hat in position on the head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. In a lady's hat clip the combination of a comb made in the manner herein-

page_text: before described and shewn, and pivotted in a suitable frame, with a controlling
spring mounted in or on such frame, all substantially as herein before specified.
2. As a new and useful article of manufacture the lady's hat clip made sub-
stantially in the manner herein before described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Hair Tubes or Braids to form a
Substitute for the Natural Hair for Ladies.
I, OTTO KLEIST, of 10, Danzigerstrasse, Bromberg, in the German Empire,
Hairdresser and Wigmaker, 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 process or method for making hair tubes or tubular
braids of hair for use in dressing the hair of ladies, having a thin growth of hair.
By this method or process short hairs may be used, exclusively if desired, the old
methods requiring long hair. In consequence the manufacture is greatly
facilitated by my method, the hair tube or tubular braid is rendered more loose
and light, the weight required is reduced by 50% and the cost is considerably
lowered. Further, the hair tube or tubular braid thus made is very elastic, is
not deformed by pressure, and can be worn by the most nervous ladies without
becoming objectionable to them.
In order that this invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 illustrates the manufacture, and
Figure 2 the completed article.
"
The single short hairs a are threaded or "braided between three threads b cd
the ends of the hairs being allowed to overhang as shown in Figure 1. In order
to allow the hairs to lie loosely on the threads to form a tube, they are firstly
placed spirally around a well polished stick e so that the points of the hairs unite
together and the threads bed are placed between the stick e and the hairs a.
If the stick be now removed a loosely formed tube is obtained sufficiently secured
against becoming undone, and adapted to be placed into elongated or twisted
shapes or knots to constitute an elegant, light and cheap auxiliary hair-dress or
substitute for natural hair for ladies suffering from a weak growth of hair.
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:-
A process or method for the manufacture of a hair tube, or tubular braid of
hair, of any desired length to form a substitute for natural hair, in which a
number of short hairs a, which may be curly, are inserted or braided between
several threads b c d with the ends overhanging and are formed into a tube around
a stick, so that the threads are within the tube or braid after completion.

Improvements in means for Weighting the Front Top Rollers of Ring
and Throstle Spinning Frames.
We, ASA LEES AND COMPANY LIMITED, of Soho Iron Works, Oldham, in the
County of Lancaster, Machine Makers, and JOHN CLEGG, of the same address,
Foreman of the Speed and Ring Frame Departments, 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 invention relates to improvements in means for weighting the front top
rollers of ring and throstle spinning frames and consists in employing an improved
form of weight hook which passes downward from the pivot of the front top roller
between it and the second roller to the ordinary link by which it is connected to
the weight.
The accompanying sheet of drawings represents a transverse sectional elevation
of a ring spinning frame fitted with our improvements.
In this view, designates the roller stand, b. the front top roller, e the front
bottom roller, d the front top clearer and e the bottom clearer.
The improved form of weight hook f bears upon the pivot of the front top
roller and passes down between it and the second pair of rollers and is
connected by a link g to a weight h which extends right across the frame.
The pivot of the bottom clearer e at each end is supported in a spring steel
plate suitably shaped for the purpose and secured to the top of the stand by a
bolt j.
The old mode of weighting by an external cast iron stirrup k is also indicated
on the drawing in order to show clearly the advantages of the improved form of
weight hook by lifting which the rollers can be relieved of weight with greater
facility when it is desired to remove or replace a top roller and further the
operative can see more clearly what he is doing than is the case with the old form
of weight hook or stirrup k. Also the bottom clearer e can be taken out of its
spring plates i and replaced with great facility.
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;-
1. The combination with the front top roller of a ring or similar spinning
frame, of the improved form of weight hook f substantially as and for the pur-
poses herein set forth.
2. The general combination and arrangement of parts embodying our improve-
ments substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Improvements in Indicating Labels for Medicine Bottles, Boxes,
and the like.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of my invention is to provide an adhesive, mechanical indicating label
for application to boxes, bottles, corks, envelopes, and any kind of receptacles
for medicines, to show the time at which the next dose of such medicine should be
taken.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is an elevation, and
Figure 2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
My invention is a label bearing the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
and 12, arranged in a circle, clock-facewise, with marks between the numerals to
show the half and quarter hours as shown in the drawing and if desired the minutes
also. The pointer b is pivotally mounted on the face a of the label by an eyelet 61
flanged on the under side of the label to hold the pointer in place. The pointer is
movable over the face of the dial. The label is provided with an adhesive backing a¹
whereby it is readily applied to a receptacle. By the use of a single pointer, instead
of two (hour and minute hands) as usual on clock-faces, all possibility of mistaking
one pointer for the other is obviated; and consequently there is no danger of dosing
at the wrong time, so far as the indicator is concerned. The pointer is to be set
from time to time to about the time at which the next dose is to be taken or
given.
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 :-
As a new article of manufacture, the herein described label having adhesive
material on its back; a series of time indicating characters on its face, and a single
pointer pivotally mounted on and movable over the face of the dial.

An Improved Process for Producing a Permanent Roofing.
I, HANS CHRISTENSEN, of 45, Vorstadt, Kiel, Germany, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-
This invention relates to an improved process for producing roofing or roofing
board, its object being to obviate the disadvantages, incidental to card-board or
pasteboard roofing as at present made, of the liability, when exposed to consider-
able heat, of the contained tar melting and flowing off, and when exposed to con-
siderable cold, of the roofing-board cracking; and to produce a roofing or roofing
board which will remain at all times watertight, sound and firm, and the cost of
which will, nevertheless, not be higher than that of tarred cardboard or paste-
board roofing produced by the ordinary processes.
To this end, the improved process consists, essentially, in applying to the roof-
ing consisting of or first covered with a thin layer of card-board or paste-board,
a heated mixture of tar and lime, either burnt lime or hydraulic lime.
The addition of lime is effective in abstracting whatever water may be present
in the tar, which, in itself, leads to more rapid drying; also in acting upon the
phenol-like constituents of the tar and upon the acids of the same, so forming
phenolates and salts of lime as fixed constituents of the roofing; also in producing
resinification of various constituents of the tar.
It has also to be taken into account, and that, principally, that the thin layer
produced by applying the mixture of tar and lime (by brushing on or the like)
rapidly dries and remains permanently dry, because the lime finely distributed
in the thin layer readily absorbs carbonic acid from the air, forming carbonate
of lime, which, now intimately united with the constituents of the tar, forms a
solid layer which will not soften under the heat of the sun nor crack in the cold.
To the mixture of tar and lime, some filling material, such as sawdust or the
like, may also be added.
The lime preferably used is either hydraulic, or lime slaked with very little
water so as to be pulverulent.
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 herein described improved process for producing a solid or permanent roof-
ing from card-board or paste-board, characterized by mixing tar and lime, heating

page_text: the same, and brushing or applying the same onto the roofing, whereby a roof-
ing is produced which dries rapidly and remains unaltered in all ordinary atmo-
spheric temperatures.

Improvements in Feeding Bottles for Infants.
I, FRIEDRICH KRUSE, of Eckernfoerder Chaussee 33, Kiel, in the German Empire,
Merchant, 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 to construct a feeding bottle for infants
which is provided with a device for supplying air to the interior.
Heretofore feeding bottles constructed without a suction tube have the incon-
venience that the sucking is rendered more difficult and the indiarubber teat
becomes pressed together in consequence of the rarefaction of the air in the bottle,
so that ultimately no food at all can reach the mouth.
The present invention is intended to avoid this inconvenience and in order that
the same may be readily understood I will now describe the accompanying draw-
ings in which:
Figure 1 is a feeding bottle provided with an air channel on which an india-
rubber tube is secured.
Figure 2 a section drawn to an enlarged scale shewing the connection of the
rubber tube with the bottle.
Figure 3 illustrates a bottle the air channel of which is provided with a valve.
Figure 4 is a section drawn to an enlarged scale illustrating the valve and also
shewing detail views of said valve.
In my improved feeding bottle the air enters through an orifice b in the side a
of the bottle at the top above the highest mark (15) to which the bottle is to be
filled. Said orifice communicates with a channel c cast in the bottle which is
provided with a mouth piece d at the bottom an which is slipped an indiarubber
tube e to prevent the liquid food running out through the channel c. The mouth
piece is corrugated and the indiarubber tube e conforms to the corrugations, said
tube can be further secured if desired by a moving ring 9 to prevent its slipping
off. If it is desired to use the feeding bottle without the tube e a cover k is
provided at the mouth of the tube e, said cover having orifices for the purpose of
permitting the air to enter when the child is sucking. In the bottom of the cover
the valve plate h is secured having a valve i adapted to open inwards so that air
can enter the bottle while the food can not run out. A plan of the cover k and
valve plate h detached is shewn in Figure 4.
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 feeding bottle at the top of which is provided an orifice (b) communicating

page_text: with an air channel (c) said channel being either closed at the entrance by the
valve (i) and cover (k) or provided with an air supply tube (e) substantially as
described.

And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the head of the tripod.
Fig. 2, is a front elevation of the tripod.
Fig. 3, is a side view of Fig. 4.
Fig. 4, is a detail of parts of the tripod.
My invention consists of a folding tripod for supporting cameras and the like,
consisting of stars or pieces of wood a jointed by means of metal rivets b, loose
enough to allow it to be folded up. On the end of each piece of wood is a small
piece of metal acting as a stop c to prevent the tripod giving in the opposite direc-
tion to which the metal is fixed.
Above the joint band between the pieces of wood a, is a stretcher d made of
metal, also pieces of string or whipcord e stretched across, which when the stand
is unfolded as in Fig. 2, and fixed acts as a stop and causes the legs or pieces of
wood a to become a rigid structure.
Each stretcher & works loosely on a pivot f and the returned end I of the said

page_text: stretcher when fixed as in Figs. 2, and 4, fit in a slot h cut in the top of the piece
of wood a. When the stretchers d are removed for the purpose of folding up each
returned end g fits in a slot i cut in the inside of the stay or piece of wood. The
top of each stay is pivoted to pins fixed in the head k of the tripod.
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 tripod for supporting cameras, substantially as fully described in the above
specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

HENRY ADDIS PRICE, Engineer, 200, Camberwell Road, Camberwell, S.E., and
HENRY CHARLES TURNER, Engineer, 200, Camberwell Road, Camberwell, S.E.,
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 construction of plates for regulating the escape of the products of com-
bustion, so that the maximum duty may be extracted from the gas before being
allowed to pass from the oven.
In order that this invention may be more easily understood drawings are attached
hereto of which the following is a description.
Fig. 1, is a perspective plan of crown plate of oven, with perforations A through
which the products of combustion pass, and follow round the inner side of
flanges B, round the outer side, and then through flue C. E is a sliding or regula-
ting damper, which is so arranged that it cannot entirely close the flue.
Fig. 2, shows a perspective plan of a plate which when placed on the top of
crown plate causes the flanges on the two to form a sealed joint, as shown on
sections Figs. 3 and 4, at A, A, and B, B.
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

I, RUDOLF LUDWIG KNOBLAUCH, of 59, Reinickendorfer Strasse, Berlin, 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:
-
"Core supports" for use for casting in foundries have up to the present time
been constructed with the supporting plates soldered, or in like manner attached
to the pillar, or stem of the support.
Under this construction even by the most careful workmanship the heads of
the supports are liable to extend slightly over the surface of the support which
often causes an irregularity in the casting, and such castings have therefore to be
considered and classed as seconds."
"
"6
Under the present invention, I construct such core supports" in one piece
and of temper or chilled casting," core supports" so constructed are not only of
much less cost but are of much better quality than those hitherto constructed, and
by the use of such core supports" faultless castings are produced.
In the annexed drawings
65
Fig. 1 shows a core support" having a pillar or stem, and round plates under
the old construction, and
Fig. 2 shows the same
tion.
Fig. 3 shows a large
tion, and,
"
Fig. 4 shows the same
"
"
core support," constructed under the present inven-
core support," having three pillars after the old construc-
"
core support" constructed under the present invention.
Fig. 5 shows a core support under the present invention for cylindrical
casting.
In the present invention the merging or transition of the pillar or stem into
the support plates is round, and not sharp and rectangular, as heretofore.
Under this invention "-core supports" of all kinds for use in foundries, can be
made out of temper- or chilled casting, namely: core supports" having one
pillar or several pillars, round, square, curved, or of other shape.
.
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:-
1. The herein described improvement in "core supports" for use in foundries,
that is to say
core supports" substantially as described of temper- or chilled
66
casting in one piece.
2. The manufacture of "core supports" for use in foundries of temper- or chilled

page_text: casting in one piece substantially as herein described, and shown in Figs. 2, 4 &
of the drawings.

Improvements in Woven Driving Beltings, Girths, or the like.
I, WILHELM KOPCKE, Linen Merchant, of Einisbuttlerstrasse 37, Altona, in
the Empire of Germany, 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 manufacture of woven driving beltings, girths or
the like and has for its object to produce a belt, the warp of which consists of
an iron or steel wire, covered with hempen yarn or yarn of other fibrous material
and the weft of which consists of fibrous material only or is of a similar nature
to the warps.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings Fig. 1 shows in cross section
a small part of a belt or girth and Fig. 2 is an outer or front view of same. a is
the warp and b the weft of the web. a¹ is the wire of the warp a covered with
the hempen yarn a².
A belt or girth produced according to this invention will not be stretched
and is therefore excellently adapted for damp or moist, hot or dry situations,
especially when the web before use receives a preservative coating of a suitable
substance.
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 woven driving belt girth or the like, the warp of which consists of a wire

Improvements in Locking Appliances for Bottle Stoppers
and like Stoppers.
I, JOSEPH RIDGE, of Tudor Works, Tudor Street, in the City of Sheffield, General
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 to a detachable appliance for locking the stoppers of
bottles, decanters and like stoppers, in contradistinction to lock up stands or frames
as usually made.
An example of such an appliance is shown in the annexed drawings in which
like letters of reference indicate like parts in any of the several figures.
Fig. 1, represents the upper part of a bottle with the stopper in position, secured
by my said appliance, part being shown in section.
Fig. 2, shows the underside of the appliance removed from the bottle, and
closed.
Fig. 3, shows the upperside of the appliance when unlocked and open.
A
The appliance which is preferably made from sheet metal, consists of two
parts A and A³, hinged together at B, and provided at the opposite side with a lock
or spring catch C, affixed to one part and its hasps D, to the other part.
semicircular portion is cut out of the centre of each part leaving the recesses E,
and E, which when brought together as shown in Fig. 2, form a circular opening
of a size corresponding with that of the neck F, of the bottle stopper G.
The sectional configuration of each part A & A², seen in Fig. 1, is made to
correspond with and receive the lip H, of the bottle I, and it will be therefore
understood that when the appliance is in position, as in Fig. 1, it clips closely
upon the bottle lip H, and also clips round the neck of the stopper G, holding the
two securely together.
I prefer to use a spring lock, so that when the appliance is placed in position
and closed, it will lock without requiring the use of a key.
I may also use a spring at the joint B, to open the appliance when unlocked
by turning the key.
The appliance may be varied in configuration to suit the lip of the bottle, and
the lock may also vary from that shown without departing from the spirit of the
invention.
Baid
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
5 I claim is :-
:-
A detachable appliance for locking or securing stoppers to bottles, and the like,
substantially as hereinbefore described and shown.

Improved Impermeable Leather.
We, JOSEPH STRACHOCINSKI, of No. 257, Bernadinska, Lublin, in the Russian
Empire, Inventor, and CHRISTIAN STOLDT of 31, Jagerstrasse, Hamburg, in the
German Empire, Merchant, 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 leather hitherto brought into the market possesses the drawback that in
consequence of the numerous pores existing in it, it is impervious to water, and
will absorb the same to a certain degree. Attempts which have been made to
make such leather impermeable to water by treating it with certain materials
such as glycerine, turpentine and so forth have not resulted favourably.
The present invention relates to the preparation of impermeable leather, which
moreover does not distinguish itself in appearance or in durability from ordinary
leather. The essential feature of this invention consists in the use for the produc-
tion of the leather, not as hitherto of the skins but of the stomachs of animals
of all kinds as far as in respect to their size and shape they are suitable for this
purpose.
It is well known that animal stomachs are impermeable to moisture and this
fact is made use of in this invention.
The process of the preparation of leather from animal stomachs consists essen-
tially in treating the rough inner side of the stomach with alum, and then
removing its roughness and irregularity by means of the instruments used in
tanning. The stomach thus prepared is then placed in the usual tanning pre-
paration, and is left in the tanning pit about four weeks.
After it is taken out
of the tan, the stomach is washed in fresh water, and rinsed and then dried by
being exposed to the air hung over poles.
After drying it is again further operated on with instruments such as are used
in ordinary tanning until it is finished and the resulting product is obtained
which in its appearance, its softness, flexibility and toughness cannot be dis-
tinguished from ordinary leather, and which owing to the material of its origin is
completely impermeable to moisture.
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 for the production of leather from the stomachs of animals,
substantially as herein set forth.
