Improvements in Pails and Buckets.
HERBERT GOLLOP, Engineer, of 6, Silver Place, and Join Baker, Publican, of
16, Ingestre Place, Golden Square, W., do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
-
Pails or buckets have hitherto been made of a circular form and larger at top
than bottom and in consequence of this shape many accidents take place when
put on stairs or steps by being unbalanced by the nose of the stair preventing the
pail standing secure and so easily overturning. Our improvements provide for
the formation of pails &c. having a flat side to stand against the nose of the stair
and give room for secure standing. This form is also useful for builders &c. for
carrying or hanging against a wall or on a ladder.

Improvements in Pails and Buckets.
HERBERT GOLLOP, Engineer, of 6, Silver Place, and JOHN BAKER, Publican, of
16, Ingestre Place, Golden Square, W., do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-
Household pails or buckets have hitherto been made of a circular form, and larger
at top than bottom, and in consequence of this shape many accidents have taken
place when standing on stairs or steps by overturning, the nose of the stair pre-
venting the pail standing on the whole of the bottom rim, thereby being easily
overbalanced to the danger of all below. Our improvements provide for the forma-
tion of pails and buckets having a flat side to stand against the nose of the stair,
whereby the bottom rim has a safe standing below and is secure from overturning.
Our form of flat sided pails admits of more handy use by builders and others being
more easy to carry or hang against a wall or on a ladder. In some cases we affix
a weight to the top edge of the pail to unbalance it when used for filling by dipping
overboard on ships &c. and applies to a form of pail or bucket having one flat
side to enable it to stand on a staircase or hang on a wall to prevent overturning
from AA to B see drawing viz. the flat part of pail standing at about a right
angle to bottom of pail or bucket.

page_text: 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 :-
The form of flat sided pails and buckets as described to hang, stand, or be carried
more securely and conveniently than the usual shape.

Improvements'in Brace Fittings and Suspenders generally; being
A Double Lever Buckle and Double Hook.
I, ALFRED BREESE 75 Aldermanbury London E.C. 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:-
To form my double lever buckle I employ (preferably of metal) stamped or
moulded shapes indicated by cutlines marked A. B. C. respectively, which, placed
together as shown at D, are rivetted or eyeletted at a 1 and 1 (from these last
mentioned points the leather or other brace ends may depend). The brace web
or other strap is threaded through the slots 1 and 2, the strain in use inducing
a grip of the levers A and B upon the web referred to.
The double hook is made similarly of parts E and F shown, together, at .G
(g1 being the rivet or eyelet upon which E and F move or turn). The combination
is shown closed at H and open at J. It may be attached to the buckle D at c1
for the attachment of Suspenders or it may be used by itself for the suspension of
any article having a ring or receptacle to engage therewith. The chief feature
in this double hook is the overlapped points or embraced extremities.
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. A double lever buckle constructed substantially as described.

page_text: I, JOSEPH WILSON SWAN, of 58 Holland Park, London, 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 construction of electrical switch in such a manner
that the terminals are separated by non-conducting walls so as to prevent sparking
across from the one to the other when the circuit is open.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a section, Fig. 2 is a plan with the cover
removed shewing the position of the parts when the circuit is open, and Fig. 3 is a
plan shewing their position when the circuit is closed.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are corresponding views of a modification, Fig. 7 is a plan of the
mouth of the handle looking upwards. In all the figures like reference numerals
are employed to indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 1 is a base of insulating material having projecting
up from it two segmental walls 12 and 1b outside which are fixed the two terminals 2
and 3. On a central axis 4 is free to turn a conducting bridge 5 consisting of
several metal strips bent down at their ends so as to have a certain amount of
spring when they are brought to bear on the faces of the termnials, which are made
a little sloping. 6 is a bent wire spring, which, when the bridge 5 is turned so as
to close the circuit, as shewn in Fig. 3, has its limbs expanded by a couple of pins 7
that extend down from the bridge, and also partly project above it. The handle 8,
made of insulating material, has a mouth made with two wide spaces into which
project the upper ends of the pins 7. When, on turning the handle 8 so as to
release the ends of the bridge 5 from the terminals, the spring 6 acting on the
pins 7 causes the bridge to turn suddenly to the position shewn in Fig. 2, the
circuit being opened.
As shewn in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, instead of two segmental walls 1ª and 1b, there is
a single circular wall 1 integral with the base, one of the terminals 2 being fixed
outside the wall,, and the other terminal 3 being fixed within the wall. The bridge
5 has therefore arms of different lengths to suit the positions of these terminals;
but in other respects the construction and action of the switch are the same as in
that shewn in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :—
1. The construction of switch with two segmental non-conductive walls separating
Atially so docenihed with referance to his 12 and 3

page_text: 2. The modified construction with a circular non-conducting wall separating the
terminals, substantially as described with reference to Figs. 4, 5 and 6.

A Remedy for Preventing Dysentery among Pigs.
I, CARL KUKLINSKI, of Kowallen, East Prussia, 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:-
This invention relates to a remedy for preventing dysentery among pigs,
which is based upon the combination of substances which stimulate the digestion
of food and facilitate its evacuation when digested.
The desired result is obtained by taking oil of peppermint, ordinary commer-
cial alcohol, purgative teas or infusions and acetic acid the mixing together
of which determines a combination of the alcohol with the peppermint.
The purgative teas or infusions above referred to are made up of the follow-
ing constituents or drugs mixed in about the proportions given c.;-Senna
leaves 20 grs., centaury, (Fol. centaureae benedictae) 8 grs., lavender 10 grs.,
liquorice 8 grs., ferns, (Rh. filicis) 12 grs., coriander 10 grs., peppermint, 15 grs.,
elder flowers (Fl. sambuci) 10 grs., golden rod (Herb. solidaginis) 10 grs., mar-
joram 10 grs., mallow (Rad. malvae) 15 grs., mallow flowers (Fl. malvae) 15 grs.,
yer's weed 12 grs., and pansy, (Fl. viol. tricolor) 5 grs. The above are extracted
with a mixture of the alcohol, acetic acid and oil of peppermint by cold percola-
tion or with the aid of a suitable continuous extractor, the extraction tempera-
ture being kept at about 70° Centigrade, and the proportions of the liquids used
being about as follows:-Alcohol 450 grs. acetic acid 150 grs., oil of pepper-
mint 5 grs., water 230 grs. The proportions of the constituents of the purga-
tive teas thus amount to a total of 160 grs. and the proportions of the liquids
used for extraction to a total of 840 grs. The following proportions may con-
veniently be used-the same however may be varied according to the stage of the
disease and the state of the animal:
:-
Ten parts by weight of the purgative tea or infusion, sixty parts by weight
commercial alcohol, twenty parts by weight acetic acid, five parts by weight oil
of peppermint.
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 remedy for preventing dysentery among pigs, consisting in the mixture of
peppermint, alcohol, purgative teas or infusions and acetic acid, resulting in a
combination of peppermint and alcohol whereby the acetic acid stimulates the
digestion and the purgative tea in combination with the peppermint and the
alcohol accelerates the evacuation of the digested food, substantially as described.

A communication from ALBERT DROUET, of Puteaux, in the Republic of France.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improved detachable pneumatic tyres and wheel rims
for wheels of cycles, motor-cars and other vehicles.
The tyre chiefly comprises two flat circular metal bands each of which has
the shape of a split ring the free ends of which overlap without being in any
way connected with each other. These two bands are hidden or contained in
the canvas and rubber edges of the outer cover containing the air-tube.
The rim is of such shape as to receive and hold the two bands, that is to say
the rim is of similar shape to those used for tyres with flexible or rigid but non-
metallic projecting edge, whereby the bands in the edges of the cover lie under
the upper edges of the rim.
Instead of being arranged as in other detachable pneumatic tyres provided
with wires or bands, the rods or bands of the tyre according to the present in-
vention are held by the upper edges of the rim whereby, as it will be easily
understood, the taking off and putting in place of the tyre is rendered very simple
and at the same time the tyre is kept well in place and is able to resist the
greatest pressure exercised when the inner tube is inflated.
It is obvious that the bands may also be completely closed rings, that is to
say with ends joined together in any way, said rings being also held in
the canvas and rubber-edge of the cover.

I, CARL EMIL HICKMANN, of 551 Schandauerstrasse, Koenigstein on Elbe in the
Empire of Germany, Forwarding Agent do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The invention which forms the object of the present application relates to a
method of securing that the iron tyre of waggon wheels shall always remain firmly
pressed against the circumference of the wheel so that a loosening or falling off of
the tyre cannot occur.
This object is attained by pressing out the circumference of the wheel from the
inside and forcing it against the iron tyre.
As shown in the accompanying drawing which illustrates a portion of a wheel
and of a correspondingly fitted spoke, iron caps C are fixed upon the ends of the
spokes A by means of bolts B. These caps end in cylindrical projections C, which
engage loosely in corresponding radial holes in the felloes E. The lower cylindri-
cal part of the said piece C¹ is provided with a screw thread and bears a nut D.
When the said nuts upon the spokes are screwed up against the periphery of the
wheel E, the latter is pressed outwards and thus firmly pressed against the wheel
tyre F.
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 wheel for waggons and the like in which the ends of the spokes are loosely in.
serted in radial holes in the felloes of the wheel and possess screw threads and nuts,
which nuts when screwed up against the inner sides of the felloes cause an outward
pressure upon the same and force them firmly against the wheel tyre.

Improvements in or connected with Cowls for Lamps, Motor-car
Exhausts, Ventilating Apparatus, and the like.
I, JAMES COLLINGE, Hill Place, Preston, in the County of Lancaster, Photographer,
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 is intended principally for cycle lamps but is applicable to other
lamps, also for ventilation, treating, Motor car exhausts and the like.
My invention relates to means to allow the free egress of the heated and consumed
air in lamps and the exit of waste steam, vapour, or gas in the treating of cotton or
woolen yarns, salt-brine and the like, also for the exit of contaminated air in
ventilation.
In place of the usual wind guards, cowls, and the like, I use a tube or number of
tubes partly or wholly perforated, so constructed and placed that the wind coming
from any direction will pass through all or part of the said tube when used for
ventilation, but if such tubes are used in lamps or vehicles in motion, the air will
pass through said tubes and carry the consumed air from body of lamp or vehicle, of
course wind guards, cowls and the like may be used conjointly. In the accompanying
sheet of drawings I have represented the said tubes as applied to a lamp and this
drawing will sufficiently illustrate how the tubes can be used for other purposes.
Fig. 1 is a section of a lamp with lower part removed, A is a tube which passes
from side to side in a square bodied lamp and is secuered to its place by bending the
ends to form a flange on the outside of lamp casing, or by other means.
A¹ A¹ are
two other similar tubes, passing from front to back, are perforations through which
the consumed air enters the tubes from the body of lamp, any number of such tubes
may be used parallel to each other, or at any angle.
"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. Cycle and other lamps constructed with tubes substantially in the manner and
for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. Ventilating and chimney shafts provided with perforated tubes for the escape
of waste products, substantially as described.
3. Motor car exhausts and the like, and vehicles fitted with perforated tubes for

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Packing for Stuffing Boxes.
I, CARL FRIEDRICH KRAUT, of Baumwall No. 8, Hamburg, 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 ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved packing which completely fills the space
in the stuffing box and thus effects a tight joint. It consists of two cords of
triangular cross section, which have a core of india rubber or leather, which is
surrounded by a fabric of asbestos, hemp or silk.
The two cords are laid into the stuffing box in simple or multiple windings
lying on one another with their diagonal side, as shown in Fig. 1 and then pressed
together in the usual manner by means of the gland.
In consequence of the triangular cross sectional form the exterior surfaces
lying parallel to one another, are displaced outwards and lie with their entire width
against the stuffing box side, and the piston rod or equivalent. Whereas in the
hitherto used packing straps or cords of rectangular cross section, shown in Fig. 2
the pressure of the gland causes the sides of the cord to bulge and consequently
the cord does not fill up the space completely.
The diagonal sides of the cord are blackleaded so that they slide easily on one
another; or the blackleading can be also applied to the whole exterior surface of
the cord.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
A packing composed of two single cords of triangular cross section substantially
as set forth.

Apparatus for Simultaneously Connecting a Number of Pairs of
Electric Conductors.
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 same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to apparatus by which a number of parallel pairs of
electric conductors can be simultaneously connected, as we shall describe referring
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan shewing by way of example
apparatus according to our invention for effecting the connection of 13 conductors.
Figs. 3 and 4 shew to an enlarged scale respectively a transverse section and a
part sectional plan of the apparatus. A and A' are two equal and symmetrical
metal castings each having as many projecting nozzles B as there are conductors C
to be connected. Each conductor has attached to its end a piece 1) preferably
of copper, all these pieces being equal and similar and similarly situated relatively
to the castings A A₁, and to each piece D is fixed a disc E of insulating material;
the ends of the pieces D are sloped at d and the insulating discs E are sloped at
each side so that they readily pass each other into position.
Each casting A A' has at each end a half socket M, in one of which is fixed a
bush internally threaded as a nut for a setting screw G. The sockets M have
flanges K and L to receive eyebolts I, and in a groove in the face of each casting A A¹
is held by a strip H of caoutchouc or other suitable packing material.
All the conductors C with their end pieces D having been introduced into the
sockets B to the right distance, and the insulating discs E having been fixed to the
pieces D by screws e, the two castings A A' are brought together face to face, and
are firmly secured together by the bolts I.
The screws G are then screwed in so as to press all the pairs of pieces D closely
together connecting the pairs of conductors C to which they belong.
The packing H renders the interior water tight.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
Apparatus for connecting a number of pairs of electric conductors, substantially
as described with reference to the drawings.

Prussia, 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:—
It is well known that. both honey and lemon-juice, alone or in combination with
ordinary or distilled water, or artificial or natural mineral water, are
health-promoting beverages.
most
To produce a beverage possessing in the highest degree the abovenamed'
properties, I employ the following process.
Pure honey, having been dissolved in water, is well boiled and skimmed...
To this liquor is added lemon-juice either pressed out of the fresh fruit, or prepared
from pure chemical citric acid and water (1) acid and 8 water is best). The boiling
and skimming is then continued, till it is not necessary to skim any longer.
During the process of boiling any kind of spices or the syrup of the fruit, or fruit
itself, of any plant, shrub, or tree may be added, care being taken to stir the whole
thoroughly the whole time. Instead of dissolving the honey in water, it may be
dissolved in lemon-juice with or without water. The quantity of the ingredients,
and the time allowed for boiling, must depend on whether a thick or thin mead is
required.
After the process of boiling is finished the liquor is cooled and then poured into
a cask carefully so as to leave the sediments behind. Yeast is added, and it is left
to ferment, the cask being left open. After the liquor has thoroughly fermented
it is carefully poured into another cask, which must be tightly bunged.
The liquor must be kept in the cask for three or four months, or better still for
a longer period, it will then have matured and be ready for bottling, for which
purpose either glass or stone bottles may be used, which must however be well
corked.
Mead made in this way improves with age, and is most wholesome being suitable
both as a gargle and beverage, especially in the case of persons suffering from
diseases of the throat, mouth, breathing organs, stomach and bowels, as well as of
those who are subject to gout, constipation, and other maladies.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
The new or improved method or process of preparing mead from honey, water,
and lemon-juice, or from honey and lemon juice only, with or without other
ingredients, substantially as described.
