page_text: Improvements in Boxing Gloves.
I, JOHN SADLER late of 68 Peverill Street, Nottingham now of 120 Birkin
Avenue, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Childrens Carriage 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 what are known as boxing gloves, and it has for its
object the improved construction of such gloves whereby they are rendered much
lighter and the possibility of their becoming hard and dangerous when they have been
in use a short time is entirely avoided.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings
in which
Fig. 1 is a front view showing the palm,
Fig. 2 is a side view and
Figs. 3 and 4 are front and side views of the bladder noderately inflated.
In carrying out this invention the outer portion or envelope of the glove is
constructed in the usual manner with an opening or recess A in which the hand is
inserted between the envelope and the bladder and an outer envelope B extending
from the tips of the fingers to the wrist and down the back of the thumb C. Inside
this outer envelope B instead of the usual horse hair stuffing is a suitably_shaped
bladder D made of india-rubber or other suitable material provided with a pipe E at the
upper end which is carried through the envelope B into the cuff F of the glove, and
by means of which the bladder can be inflated to the desired extent and the air
prevented from escaping by tying up the end of the tube or slipping an india-
rubber ring over it or better by means of an ordinary metal air valve.
The bladder D may be constructed with an enlarged portion G at the lower end so
as to cover the tips of the fingers and a part H extending along the back of the
thumb C; if preferred however the back of the thumb C and a part near the
finger tips may be stuffed in the usual manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An inflated boxing glove substantially as specified.
2. In a boxing glove the use of an inflated bladder or air bag D substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

MURDOCH GREY CUNNINGHAM Dentist 23 Larcom Street Walworth Road
London do hereby declare the nature of my invention for FACING WITH METAL
IIARD RUBBER SURFACES to be as follows:-
The mould being prepared and packed with rubber in the usual well understood
manner is permitted to cool down until the rubber compound will retain its form,
it is then opened and the surface of the rubber painted over with the same
compound dissolved in chloroform metal in a minute state of subdivision either as
filings or precipitate is then dusted on until the face is entirely covered the
surface of the mould is smeared over with a little treacle and dusted over in like.
manner the flask is then closed heated up and screwed home. After vulcanising
the object presents an actual metalic face, which may be finished as thought
desirable by stone scratch brush or or burnisher gilt or silvered, in fact treated
precisely as a metal plate.

MURDOCH GREY CUNNINGHAM Dentist 23 Larcom St. Walworth London do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for FACING HARD RUBBER SURFACES
WITH METAL to be as described and in what manner the same is to be performet,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
I set up flask and pack the case with rubber compound in the usual well
understood manner I permit it to cool down until the rubber will retain its form
I then open it and paint the rubber surface over with the same compound dissolved
in chloroform-bisulphide of carbon or other suitable solvent I now dust over it
metal in a minute state of subdivision either as filings or as precipitate-with a
hot burnisher pack this into the rubber until the surface is thoroughly covered.
I next dust over the male or plaster face of the mould with the same metal,
causing it to adhear by previously smearing the plaster with some adheasive medium
such as treacle or honey I then close the flask, heat up and screw it home-
After vulcanizing the surface may be treated precisely as a metal plate, stoned
burnished, and polished, or if thought desirable deposited upon by electrical
process The feature of novelty I claim is that I never saw or beard of anything
in the slightest way resembling it, and for the purposes of this patent I claim the
use and employment in a minute state of subdivision of any metal or metalic
substance any alloy or amalgam of metals or any metalic salt capable of
conversion to the metalic state after incorporation with the rubber surface.

page_text: Preparation of Para-amidodiphenyl Sulphonic Acid.
I THOMAS CARNELLEY D.Sc. of 12 Clarendon Terrace, Perth Road, Dundee, in
the County of Forfar, Professor of Chemistry in University College Dundee, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in the Production of Para-amido-diphenyl sulphonic acid
by the action of sulphuric acid on that modification of Amidodiphenyl usually
called "para" by chemists, & which melts at a temperature of forty nine degrees
centigrade, there or thereabouts.

page_text: dyes, such as rocceline; and that of amido-benzene sulphonic acid, in the production
of the naphthol orange dyes;-the object of the invention being to obtain new
varieties of fast colours of various shades, chiefly of red, orange, yellow and brown.
To this end I take para-amidodiphenyl (which melts at 49° Centigrade or
thereabouts), and treat it with ordinary oil of vitriol, applying to one part by
weight of para-amidodiphenyl about four parts by weight of oil of vitriol.-This
mixture I heat to a temperature of about 130° Centigrade, maintaining the heat
for about half-an-hour, more or less, by which means I effect the conversion of the
mixture into para-amidodiphenyl sulphonic acid.-The chemical change which thus
takes place consists in the elimination of the elements of water from the con-
stituents of the mixture, and the direct combination of the resulting residues of
the sulphuric acid and para-amidodiphenyl with one another to form para-amido-.
diphenyl sulphonic acid.-The product is then allowed to cool, after which it is
thrown into cold water, and a whitish or cream coloured deposit is obtained.―
This deposit I wash with cold water, and finally, if necessary, drain it on a filter.
The para-amidodiphenyl sulphonic acid thus obtained is now ready for use in
the preparation of dyestuffs by methods well known to chemists and dye manu-
facturers; thus, e.g., by the action of nitrous acid, it may be converted into the
diazo-compound, which, by treatment with plenol in an alkaline solution, yields a
new yellow colouring matter, which is the. sodium salt of phenolazodiphenyl
sulphonic acid. By analogous methods, and by varying the substance with which
the above diazo-compound is combined, a large variety of different new dyestuffs
may be obtained.
The dyestuffs thus prepared are mostly suitable for dyeing woollen and silk
fabrics, but they may be employed in dyeing or staining certain vegetable fibres,
such as unbleached jute..
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 preparation of para-amidodiphenyl sulphonic acid in the manner and for the
purpose above set forth.

Improvements in Machinery for Crushing Minerals.
WO THOMAS NICHOLSON of Pensarn, Abergele, in the County of Denbigh,
Gentleman, and ALFRED JOSEPH HARRISON of 71 William Street, Sheffield in the
county of York, 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 :-
Instead of making the upper rollers overlapping and straight we cast them in
segments with the teeth so placed as to work side by side and diagonally, and below
these we place smooth rollers as is usual but we make them conical and to work at an
unequal pace. By making the upper rollers as described we get more material
through with less power than in the old way, and by making the rollers conical and
to work unequally we avoid the clogging which is so troublesome with rollers
generally.
For the more complete specification we say that we use the usual four rollored
machine, but the teeth in the upper pair we so place that when the machine is in
motion those in the one roller meet those in the opposite roller on the side, instead of
lapping into or over them. The result is that they act like a scissors instead of like a
hammer.
The teeth are cast in segments so that if one should break it can be renowed
without having to cast a whole roller.
The lower rollers are smooth and are set underneath the toothed rollers, as usual,
so as to receive the material passing through them and crush it to powder. Such
rollers are liable to clog, and, to avoid this, we cause ours to scrape by revolving
unequally by two means, first by making them conical, and next by putting larger
cog wheels to one than the other. The accompanying drawings show the Invention.
A is the toothed rollers. B the conical rollers, with cog wheels, C, one larger than
the other. D is a segment of the toothed rollers. And E is the complete machine.
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 scissors action of the upper rollers.
2. The scraping action of the lower rollers.

We, JOHN THOMAS, of Sycamore Road, Handsworth, in the County of Stafford,
Gun Action Maker, and JOHN GEORGE THOMAS, of Sycamore Road, Handsworth, in
the said County, Gun Action Maker, 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 consists in the following improvements in the lever mechanism by
which the barrels of breech loading small arms are held down when closed.
Reference to the accompanying drawings will shew our improvements.
Fig. I. shews part of the barrels and breech action of a breech loading gun fitted
with our improvements.
Fig. II. shews elevation and plan of the limb which embodies the chief features of
our improvements.
It will be seen that the lever a carries the circular axis b, and at the lower end of b
are the two keys or lugs c and d. These are cut on an incline for a purpose to be
described.
In the standing-breech e is a recess fitting the head of the lever a, and the axis b.
This recess is undercut at its lower part to suit the keys or lugs c and d.
When the barrels are closed, as in the drawings, the extension piece f is securely
held down by the action of the head of the lever a and the grip of the keys or lugs c
and d in the standing breech, and the parts are all tightened together by the action of
the inclines.
When the lever is pushed aside, the inclines at once free the parts, and the gun is
opened in the usual way. A spring g operates the lever a in the ordinary manner.
Fig. III. shews a modification of our invention by which a double grip of the
extension piece f is obtained. This is done by causing the piece f to take underneath
one of the keys or lugs c and d, as well as under the head of the lever a.
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 lever a provided with the axis b and keys or lugs c and d.
2. The form of recess in the standing breech fitting the lever a, axis b and keys or
lugs c, d.
3. The combination described as a locking mechanism for breech loading fire arms,

Manager to Rudge & Co. Limited, 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:-
In the carriage of racquets, used in playing lawn tennis and other games, as
ordinarily constructed, considerable inconvenience is experienced on account of the
handle projecting, and in order to overcome this difficulty I connect the handle to
the frame of the head or striking part by means of a hinge, thus allowing the
handle, when the racquet is not in use, to be folded back over the head or striking
part. When the racquet is to be used the handle is locked in position by any
suitable and known contrivance, such as, a screw or catch.
I will now refer to the accompanying drawings from which the nature of my
said invention will be more clearly understood. Figures 1. and 2. are respectively
front elevation and side view of a racquet constructed in accordance with this
invention the handle being shown secured ready for use, and Figure 3. is a side
view illustrating the handle released and partly folded back. In these Figures the
following contrivance is shown for retaining the handle in the desired position for
use. On the top of the handle is mounted the ring or collar a. which is retained
in position by the pin b. passing through the inclined slot c. which pin is screwed
into the handle; on the ring being turned to the right one side of the said slot
bears against the pin b. and the ring is thereby caused to move upwards whereby
it is brought over the end of the projection d. of the frame work of the head or
striking part of the racquet, and the handle is thereby firmly secured in the desired
position; when desired, the handle is again released by turning the ring a. in the
opposite direction. Figures 4. and 5. are views of other contrivances which will
be found suitable for retaining the hinged handle in position for 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 claim is:-
In the construction of racquets for lawn tennis and other games, attaching the
handle to the head or frame work of the striking part by means of a hinge,
substantially as, and for the purposes, hereinbefore described.

I, GEORGE ALEXANDER DICK, of No. 110, Cannon Street, in the City of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
Hitherto, when employing metal in the construction of filters, bottles, meters, pipes
and other apparatus or receptacles or those parts thereof, which are exposed, to the
action of water, it has been usual to employ iron, copper or copper alloys but such
metals have been unsatisfactory on account of the formation of rust or verdigris.
This invention relates to the construction of such apparatus from a copper alloy or
compound in which a certain quantity of iron and manganese, is substituted for a
portion of the copper, this will allow of the addition to the alloy of a certain quantity
of zinc, by which means the action of the water on the copper or copper alloy is
neutralised and no verdigris or rust is formed..
The following are the ingredients, and the approximate proportions in which they
are employed, of which I form the alloy or compound herein before referred to.
Copper
Zinc
Iron or manganese-

or, instead of using iron and manganese separately I, in some cases, use an equivalent
quantity of both metals, that is to say, I reduce the quantity of iron and add thereto a
quantity of manganese, equivalent to the iron taken away, or, vice versa.
The presence of small quantities of other metals, with which water does not form
verdigris such as aluminium and nickel, in the alloy will not affect the desired
properties of the latter.

what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawing
in which Figure 1 is an elevation showing the blast pipe in position. Figure 2
shows the fan in elevation; Figure 3 shows the speed wheel train, Figure 4 the
spring and Figure 5 is a vertical section from front to back and shows the fan, the
wheel train and the spring in their respective positions in the case. Figure 6 shows
the blast pipe upon a smaller scale.
The fan A is carried upon an arbor or spindle B driven by any suitable train of
clockwork C.the power being imparted by a spring D. The case E is by preference
divided into three compartments as shown in Figure 5 to contain' the different parts
of the mechanism.
The air has access to the fan through opening F¹ in the plate F, G¹ in the plate G
and H in plate H if required and is discharged through the pipe or opening I
upon which is placed the blast pipe K. This pipe K can be turned upon the
pipe I as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1 so that the direction of the blast
may be changed.
The stop plate L Figure 2 is used to prevent the air from being churned round
and round by the fan and to collect it in the neighbourhood of the discharge
nozzle I.
As shown in Figure 5 the train of clockwork occupies the central division of the
case and the fan one outer division and the spring the other. In order however to
introduce the air freely. to both sides of the fan it may be desirable to place the
spring next to the fan so that the space may be opened and the air introduced
without the danger of clogging the works with dust and dirt.

without body color, and after each coating the moulds are dried during an hour
in a stove at a temperature of about 122° Fahrenheit.
This process of coating with soluble glass, as compared with the mode hitherto
used of painting and japanning with oil and lake, offers not only the advantage of
a very considerable economy of material and working, but also, the refined sugar
loaves are removed from the moulds much easier than from the moulds painted

performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
According to the present invention sugar moulds are provided with an internal
coating as follows: The moulds are carefully rubbed off internally with pumice-
stone and glass-paper, after which a solution of soluble glass is applied three times,
with or without body colour, and after each coating the moulds are dried during
an hour in a stove at a temperature of about 122° Fahrenheit.
This process of coating with soluble glass, as compared with the mode hitherto
used of painting and japanning with oil and lake offers not only the advantage of
a very considerable economy of material and working, but also, the refined sugar
loaves are removed from the moulds much easier than from the moulds painted
with lake.
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
Coating internally moulds employed in sugar manufacture with soluble glass
with or without body colour substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

An Improved Method of Forming Letters for Attachment to Glass
and other Surfaces.
I FREDERICK HOWOHIN Sign Writer 44 Prescot Street Liverpool 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 consists in producing by printing or otherwise, in gold silver or
colours, upon seperate pieces of glass cut ground or cast to suitable shapes and sizes,
individual letters for being affixed to any surface, glass or otherwise, by skilled or
unskilled persons and forming an entirely new style of affixing lettors to glass or any
other surface. The letter being protected from wear or the action of the weather by
the piece of glass upon which it is printed or otherwise produced.
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. Cheap production as they can be made from waste glass and unskilled labour
can be employed.
2. They can be produced in every variety of form color and design.
3. They are less liable to be pulled off in cleaning &c. from having fewer corners
than letters cut direct from the glass such as the "opal" letters.
4. They are more durable than a written letter, the glass upon which they are
produced acting as a shield against the action of the weather &c.
5. In cases of window advertisements they can be fixed either inside or outside.

I JOHANN ROBERT BIELENBERG of Waisenstrasse No. 1c Dresden Saxony Teacher
of Chemistry 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 to construct drawing Boards in an improved manner,
whereby the fastening of the paper to the board by means of pins, or by adhesion is
dispensed with.
+
In carrying out my invention I form grooves or recesses around the board, at
about an inch from the edges, into these grooves or recesses I fit moveable bars, of
any suitable material, but preferably of hard wood, these bars are hereinafter referred
to as stretching bars.
In order to keep these bars in position, when the board is in use, I provide on the
edges of the board, (outside the grooves or recesses) suitable fastenings or locking
bars; each of these fastenings are pivotted at one end by a screw, so that they may be
turned round to allow the stretching bars to be removed when necessary.
And in order that my said invention may be more particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters
of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Figure 1 is a plan view and Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.
a is the board, b. b the stretching bars, c. c. the locking bars, pivotted by screws dd,
and is the groove or recess formed around the board.
The sheet of drawing paper having (if necessary or desired) been previously
thoroughly well moistened, is laid flat upon the drawing board a, so that the edges of
the paper may cover the grooves f.
The stretching bars b. b., are now applied to press the edges of the sheet of drawing
paper within the said grooves f, while at the same time the locking bars c. c., pivotted
by screws d. d. are turned round so as to fit upon, and keep in position the stretching
bars, and prevent them from being forced out by reason of the elasticity of the sheet
of paper. Two opposite stretching bars should always be placed in the grooves, one
after the other.

page_text: When all the stretching bars are in their proper places, and suitably locked, the
sheet of paper is allowed to dry slowly by contact with the air, or otherwise.
By this means the paper is kept securely in position on the board, and is not liable
to be torn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention 5
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The use and manufacture of drawing boards with grooves or recesses f, formed
around the board, substantially as shewn and described.
2. In drawing boards, the use of the stretching bars b. b, fastenings c. c. pivotted by
screws dd, for keeping the paper in position on the board substantially as shewn and 1
described.
3. The general combination of parts forming my improvements in drawing boards,
substantially as shewn and described.

I, HERBERT CHEESMAN of the Hartlepool Ropery Company Limited, Hartlepool,
in the County of Durham Rope Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to obtain a wire rope of greater wearing and bearing
surface than is possessed by wire ropes as ordinarily made.
According to my Invention I coil wires circularly or in close spiral form in two or
more layers on any suitable core. Each of the wires forms in its turn a part of each
layer so that an interlocking of the wires is obtained to prevent the wire of a layer
unwinding if any part should break.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Wire Ropes.
HERBERT CHEESMAN, Rope Maker, Hartlepool Co. Durham, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF WIRE ROPES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In carrying out my invention I cover a core which core may be of any suitable
material either fibrous or wire strand, or rope, or any combination; this casing or
cover may be formed by a double or more layers of wires circularly & spirally covering
the core, for example:-I take a core of wire rope and cover this with casings of
say twelve and eighteen wires respectively. These two casings are spirally laid
around a core so as to interlock & prevent the outer wires coming out the whole
length of the rope or cable, should any of the said wires he broken, I thereby cause
them all severally or separately to form the inner casing and bring the wires that form
the inner casing to form a portion of the outer casing of the rope, this may be repeated
at suitable intervals; in further illustration, the core may be covered with twelve
wires these wires being covered by eighteen other wires, the wires forming the inner
casing may at any suitable intervals during the spinning of the wires exchange places
with a like number of wires forming the outer casing, which operation being repeated
causes the whole of the wires forming both casings to exchange places in rotation
& so interlock, thereby preventing any of the said wires unwinding beyond a certain
limit, should they break;-the interlocking of the wires may be formed by spinning
or turning them either in the same or opposite direction to that in which the finished
rope is spun or turned (technically termed "laid").
I do not confine myself to any number of wires or layers as the above may be
subject to many modifications.
I may use wires of any section, preferably round.
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 interlocking of round wires as hereinbefore described.
