An Improvement in Fireproof Ceilings and Partitions.
We, THE UNITED ASBESTOS COMPANY LIMITED, of Dock House, Billiter Street, in
the City of London, and JOSEPH ALFRED FISHER, of Dock House, Billiter Street,
aforesaid, 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 :-
In the Specification No. 14,068 of 1897 are described fire proof ceilings and
partitions consisting of asbestos millboard slabs fixed on the joists or uprights, and
covered with embossed asbestos paper. In many cases it is desired to ornament
ceilings or partitions with mouldings and patterns of greater or less boldness.
Our present invention relates to a construction for this purpose.
We contrive that the joints of the asbestos slabs shall occupy positions where they
can be covered by mouldings consistently with the design, and in order to cover them
we employ mouldings which may be of a bold character stamped up from thin asbestos
millboard and therefore hollow.
Where lengths of these mouldings meet, or have to be united together, we support
them along a short distance such as an inch or two from the junction by blocks,
which may be of wood, shaped approximately to the shape of the hollow of the
moulding. By fixing these blocks in position and then securing the ends of the
moulding lengths to the blocks, these ends can be brought accurately together,
so that the existence of a joint is scarcely discernible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A fire proof ceiling or partition consisting of slabs of asbestos millboard having
their joints covered by stamped up hollow mouldings of thin asbestos millboard,
supported at their junctions by fixed blocks of wood or such like material approxim-
atal Attine their interiors onbetantially as described

Improvements in Cigars.
1
I, JACOB HEINRICH KÖNIG, a subject of the German Empire, and resident of
Karlsdorf, in the Grandduchy of Baden, Manufacturer of Cigars, 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 cigars having a mouth-piece of waterproof material.
Such a mouth-piece prevents the penetration of the saliva into the tobacco, thus
keeping the tip of the cigar dry and enabling it to maintain its proper form.
Simultaneously the development of nicotinised cigar-juice is stopped.
Referring to the drawing which forms a part of this specification the figure is
a view of a cigar constructed in accordance with my invention the mouth-piece
being drawn as a central longitudinal sectional view.
The mouth-piece consists of a short conical tube a inserted over the tobacco-
roll and connected to it by means of the outside covering leaf of the cigar c.
It is preferred to form the mouth-piece of a short wooden tube a, covered with a
suitable coating or else with a thin foil & formed either of metal or cork or metallic
paint such as gold, silver, aluminium-bronze, so that the lips of the smoker are
guarded against contact with the wood of the mouth-piece. Any superfluity of
icotine in the tobacco can be absorbed by the introduction of a plug of cotton-
wool e, or like filtering material, into the mouth-piece a.
Cigars provided with the described mouth-piece afford the smoker much increased
enjoyment, both from an aesthetic and sanitary point of view.
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.) In a cigar the combination of a solid waterproof or waterproof-coated mouth-
piece a, of the tobacco roll and means for connecting the mouth-piece with the
tobacco roll, substantially as described.
2.) In a cigar the combination of a solid waterproof or waterproof-coated mouth-
piece a of the filtering piece e inserted into the mouth-piece a, of the tobacco roll b.
of the covering leaf c, connecting each other, substantially as described.

I, HERMANN DAMM, Manufacturer, 7, Harmamish, Elberfild, 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 electric accumulators as ordinarily constructed the object is to obtain a
maximun of surface in relation to the weight-unity of the electrode.
For this purpose the improved electrode, according to this invention, attains this
object by making use of wire-web which supports or carries the effective or active
material of the said electrode.
On a frame A, which is provided with the well-known butt-ends a¹ and
terminals a², the wire-web B, which is made of lead or other suitable material, is
stretched or inserted. This web is connected with the frame A in any suitable
manner, as for instance by melting, soldering, or the like.
The number of the wire-webs B is determined according to the desired capacity
of the accumulator, and they are preferably made of lead and may be formed of
any desired cross section. The width of their mesher, or in other words the
distances between the warp-wires and the weft-wires, may be chosen according to
requirements.
These woven or webbed electrodes may be used also without a solid lead body
by rolling or folding the anode and the cathode, separating each by an insulating
layer.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
(1) An electrode for electric accumulators characterised by the application, upon
a frame, of a wire-web B, or of more than one web of lead serving as a support to
the effective or active mass of the electrode.

I, EGMONT KOEHLER, of Altenburg, I. S., in the Empire of Germany, Manufac-
turer, 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 an improved support for cycles, which is of small weight
and volume and will support the cycle in places where there is nothing to lean the
latter against.
In the annexed drawing: Fig. 1 shows the support when opened. Fig. 2 is a
side view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows the support when folded together. Fig. 4 shows.
the support when in use.
This cycle support has the form of pincers, the cheeks B of which are sufficiently
narrow to grip the pedal axle between the pedal and the crank.
The two legs S carry at their ends small plates P, to prevent the points from
penetrating into soft ground.
In order that the plates P do not project when the support is folded together,
they are pivoted or hinged to the point of the legs by means of joints g so that they
may be moved into the same direction as the legs as shown in Fig. 3.
When using the cycle support one of the pedals of the cycle must be brought
into its lowest position whereupon the jaws B are caused to embrace the pedal crank
as aforesaid.
This tong like cycle support can be made to fit to any cycle construction and in
different forms as regards its several parts.
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:-
An improved cycle support in the form of tongs with narrow cheeks B and
plates P pivoted or hinged on the ends of the legs and adapted to be employed
substantially as set forth.

Improved means for Lubricating Door Hinges.
I, JOHANN HEINRICH GRELL, Senior, 9, Bei der Reis-muhle, Hamburg,
Germany, Contractor, 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 consists of an improved door hinge with
lubricating device by the use of which the disagreeable creaking of the door
hinges is avoided and greater accessibility and easy lubrication of the parts is
attainable.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing as applied to an
ordinary door hinge, and in the drawing the upper part of the hinge is shewn in
section. The said upper part a is hollow as usual, and holds the pin b, which
pin is secured to the under half of the hinge. At a suitable point in the upper
half of the hinge a hole is bored at the side, and there is screwed into the said
hole the tube e either horizontally or at an angle for the supply of the oil or
other lubricant. From the inner aperture of this tube down to the separating
surface of the two halves of the hinge there is arranged in the said hinge a
lubrication channel e in such a manner that the lubricant can reach the surface d
upon which the hinge moves when the door is open or closed. The form of the
tube c, as also the exact place at which it is inserted into the hinge, and also the
construction of the hinge itself is immaterial from the point of view of the present
invention; moreover, the precise shape, size, or arrangement of the lubricating
channel e is also without influence upon the scope of the invention.
When the improved hinge with lubricating arrangement is attached to the
door it is only necessary to arrange that when the door is closed the lubricating
tube is in the position parallel to the said door, so that the tube will not interfere
with the opening of the door.
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 improved door hinge with lubricating device and characterized by the
arrangement that at a suitable point above or beside the revolving pivot in the
upper half of the hinge a side tube is attached for the introduction of lubrication.

I, THEOPHILUS CRISWICK, of No. 3, Grove Road, Bridgend, in the County of
Glamorgan, Engineer, 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: --
It consists of three parts. On the drawing herewith they are indicated by the
letters A, B and C. Fig. 1 is a side view Fig. 2 a front view, of A Fig. 3 being
a section of the bar thereof. Fig. 4 a side view, and Fig. 5. a front view of B.
Fig. 6 a plan of C. Fig. 7 being a section of the whole together in position with
the sashes closed Fig. 8 is section of the end of loop C where it encircles the bar
of A to shew the serrations which prevent the slipping of the loop.
A is to be secured to bottom rail of top sash at a, and to an upright bar of
same sash at b. It can be fixed near the side or on any other part of the bottom
rail of top sash having a suitable upright bar. B (B) is to be secured to the top
rail of bottom sash immediately in front of A.
Before securing A. in position the loop C is passed over its lower end, and
although quite loose cannot be detached therefrom after A is fixed as stated B,
having been fixed as stated above when the sashes (or as generally said the
window) is closed, the loop C is brought down over the projection on B as shewn
in Fig. 7. The loop C is to be of the proper length to draw the sashes together
if they are not previously tight, and thus secure them together. If additional
security is desired, the extension of the projection above the part held by the
loop allows the use of a padlock or other means to prevent detachment of loop C.
The section Fig. 7 shews the position of A. B and C when the window is closed,
but if the top or bottom sash or both are opened to the limit allowed by the length
of the bar of A or to any limit not exceeding it, the sashes would be secured by
bringing the loop Cover projection on B, in the same way as if the window
was closed. If it is desired to open the window more than allowed by the bar
of A, the loop is to be detached from B and turned so as to rest on the bottom
rail of top sash.
The drawing represents what would be suitable for a certain sized pair of
sashes, but must be taken as explanatory only, as the parts can be made to suit
any size that may be necessary.
The shape of the notches whereby the loop C is prevented from slipping on A
is immaterial; they may be of any other shape or size provided they effectually
interlock one to the other.
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 which
I claim is:
The arrangement of a window fastener substantially as described, viz. with one
part secured to the top and another to the bottom sash, with a loop to draw
and secure them together.

WILLIAM BAYLISS, Engineer, Knott Mill Iron Works, Manchester, 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:-
When a boiler has a number of flues, such for instance as five extending along
it from end to end, it is very difficult to repair these flues or to effect thorough
cleansing of their exterior surfaces owing to the limited space between them when
they are made of uniform diameter throughout their lengths.
This invention relates to a modification in the construction of such flues, whereby
facilities are given for access to repair them or to clean their surfaces.
For this purpose, we construct these flues as shewn in the accompanying
drawings. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a multiple flue boiler with its flues
modified according to our invention, Figs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections on the
lines 2-2 and 3-3 of Fig. 1 respectively.
We make portions of the flues A at intervals of their length tapered each way
to a smaller diameter as shewn at B so that at each of these intervals, where the
flues are of reduced diameter, there is between them an enlarged space giving access
to workmen, who can effect repairs, or work cleaning tools not only at the place
where the space is enlarged, but also in each direction along the flues so that
access is given to the surface of each flue along its whole length.
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 :-
Constructing the flues of a multiple flue boiler with portions of their length
at suitable intervals tapered both ways to a smaller diameter as and for the purpose

many, Horticulturist and Market Gardener, 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 a contrivance which shall offer to the
cyclist (male or female) the opportunity, when travelling along the road, of sit-
ting down to rest, especially in unfavourable weather, or for instance when it is
desired to make repairs to the tyre et cetera, or when there is an insufficient supply
of chairs for a company, or if it is desired to have a convenient seat while taking
a photograph. This arrangement will also be found most acceptable to the cycling
landscape-painter, as it so far offers a safeguard against the theft of the cycle,
as a cycle without a saddle can only be ridden with great difficulty.
The invention is especially remarkable for its great simplicity and its con-
struction is shown in the accompanying drawings.

To the saddle pin or pillar a there is screwed a solid round shaft b, of such a
length that, along with the saddle, the whole makes up a little more than the full
height of a camp-stool. This shaft b has two bars of equal length 61 and 2 which
may be cut out of the entire shaft band when closed up, make the latter entire.
The two bars turn on a stud.or bolt c which passes through them, and, like the
shaft b, are sharpened at their ends.
The entire shaft bis received in a hollow tube d of the frame of the cycle.
When the saddle has to be used as a camp-stool, the clamp-screw of the saddle
support is loosened, the saddle is drawn out along with the shaft which is
screwed to it, the bars 61 and 63 are pressed apart and the whole pushed gently
into the ground.
The dimensions of the bars 61 and 62 must be such that when the camp stool
stands firmly the saddle must be horizontal.
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
5 claim is;
-
1. A cvcle-saddle which can be used as a camp-stool, constructed with a saddle

Spinster, 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 improvements shown in the annexed drawings relate essentially to the
manufacture of " uppers" of shoes of any kind.
66
The upper" B is knitted, crocheted, plaited, or made in any similar manner of
wool, cotton, twine, silk, or any other suitable material, and this preferably in such a
manner, that it consists of one piece, having only a seam at the back. In some
cases however the " upper can be made of several pieces or it can also be entirely
without seam.
29
The uppers" (especially when of thin and very soft material) are provided con-
veniently with a stiffening border R, which can consist of any suitable material such
as knitted crocheted plaited or woven material or leather cardboard rubber or the
like. It can be laid round outwards or inwards (as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6) or
can be arranged between the lining and the "upper or in any other suitable
manner; it can be sewn, buttoned, hooked, or fixed in any manner. It serves for
effecting a solid fitting of the shoe on the instep and for increasing the durability.
In high boots this stiffening border can be omitted altogether or replaced by an
elastic material placed in layers.
The "upper "B provided if desired with toe pieces, points or side parts K of
leather, rubber, or the like is fixed on a sole S of leather, rubber, felt, or any other
appropriate material and can be arranged for lacing, buttoning, buckles or any other
arrangement (Figs. 5 to 10).
A shoe provided with such an upper part is light, fits easily to the form of the
foot in consequence of its peculiar structure, and never causes any injurious pressure
according to the material it is made of, keeps very warm or has a cooling effect on
the foot and allows of the same being ventilated in the most perfect manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-

Improved Cork Mattress.
Year: 1898

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Cork Mattress.
We, ALFRED BAUER and OTTO RUNGWERTH, both of No. 1, Trostbrucke,
Hamburg, in the German Empire, Merchants, 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 application consists of a safety mattress suitable for
use on board ship and which in case of shipwreck can be employed as a life-
saving apparatus.
The usual construction of ships' mattresses for this object has been in the form
of a species of tubes sewn together, which tubes were filled with cork or the like.
Such mattresses, however, have the great drawback that in the first place they
are always of considerable weight and consequently possess relatively little
buoyancy. Further their construction is comparatively very dear, and their
durability very small owing to the amount of sewing.
The improved mattress is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a plan view of the mattress.
Figure 2 a section thereof on an enlarged scale.
The mattress itself is made of any strong suitable fabric, such as canvas, and
there are placed between the two layers of canvas pieces of cork, or cork
cuttings and so forth. In order to prevent the displacement of this cork filling
and to give to the mattress a more solid construction, the upper and the lower
cover of the mattress are sewn together at a given number of places 1, and
connected so that a displacement of the cork filling 2 becomes impossible. In
sewing the mattress together thread, wire, or the like may be used, and it is
advisable to place at those points where the sewing material passes through
the canvas a protection for the canvas in the shape of a button or disc of metal or
of leather, canvas, or other suitable material 3.
The construction of the mattress can be adapted to that of ordinary ships'
mattresses, thus for instance, an opening 4 may be made in the middle thereof,
so that in case of shipwreck the arms of the user may be placed through it, and
he may thus be supported above the water. For the same purpose the straps 5
may also be attached. Such modifications in the construction or in the choice of
material are obviously without influence upon the principle of the invention.
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 buoyant mattress with cork filling whereby the cork filling (2)
is secured in place by the number of stitches (1) preferably passing through
discs (3) for additional security, whereby the form of the mattress is retained
substantially as described.

Improvements in and connected with Engine Packings.
I, CHARLES HIBBERT BERRY, of 41, Corporation Street, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Engineer, and JOHN SNOWDON, Junior, of West Ferry Road,
Millwall, London, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Engine packings as usually constructed are commonly charged with a lubricat-
ing substance to prevent injury to the piston rod or equivalent reciprocating part,
but the lubricant therefrom is, in use, distributed where it is not required, on the
walls of the stuffing box for example, and thus much of it is wasted. I avoid this
result according to my present invention in the following manner. I may con-
struct the packing to any form required and from any material and in any manner
at present employed, But, in or about the centre of the packing, I make or intro-
duce a core of solid lubricant having a sufficiently high melting point which will
be determined in each case generally by the temperature of the steam with which
the packing is to be used. Around the core, in any suitable part of the packing,
I may employ an envelope impervious to the melted lubricant except on the face
next to the piston rod. On this face the envelope may be absent or, preferably,
the packing may be punched radially with holes reaching to the core.
lubricant can thus reach the piston or other rod but will be limited thereto. The
packing may additionally be charged with lubricant in the ordinary manner or
not.

I, JOSEPH FARADAY CHAMBERS, of The Laboratory, Dursley, Glos., Analytical
Chemist, 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 medicinal preparation to be administered internally
for the purpose of destroying and expelling parasitic worms, (either round or
tape) or the like, which infest the alimentary canals of human beings, horses,
cows, pigs, dogs, cats, sheep and other animals.
According to my invention the preparation is made up or composed of the
following chemical substances.
Three parts of either sodium acetate, potassium acetate, or other non-poisonous
acetate. One part of either sodium hydrate, or potassium hydrate. Five parts
of either sodium chloride, or potassium chloride. And five parts of ammonium
carbonate.
The whole of the chemical substances may be reduced from their crystalline
form to powder, and then intimately mixed mechanically together in or about
the proportions stated, by weight. Or the crystalline substances may be first
placed together and subsequently reduced to powder.
The preparation may be administered in the powdered form in which the sub-
stances are mixed together, about twenty five grains of the mixture being a
suitable dose for an adult human being, or the powdered substances after being
intimately mixed together, as described may be made up into pills by the
addition of a suitable binding material such as potassium boro-tartrate, and pre-
ferably water.
If preferred however I may use about the same proportion of dilute acetic acid.
or what is commercially known as vinegar, instead of an acetate, and in this case
the preparation is made up in the form of a solution or semi-solution, the other
powdered chemical substances being added to the dilute acetic acid, either
separately, or after being mixed together.
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:-
1. A parasitic worm solvent or vermifuge comprised essentially of a non-
poisonous acetate either sodium or potassium hydrate together with either sodium
or potassium chloride and ammonium carbonate substantially as described.
2. A parasitic worm solvent or vermifuge comprised essentially of either
sodium or potassium or other non-poisonous acetate either sodium or potassium

I, GEORGE HENRY MASSEY, Managing Director of G. H. Massey and Company
Limited, Bradshaw Street, Shudehill, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Leather Goods Manufacturers, 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 relates to improvements in the manufacture of ladies' dress
baskets, travelling trunks, bonnet and hat boxes and the like which are usually
made of a wickerwork frame or body and an outer and inner covering of canvas,
American cloth or other suitable material and my improvements consist in sub-
stituting for the ordinary wickerwork, millboard or similar foundation, a frame
or body formed of corrugated wire.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a corrugated wire frame
work made according to my improvements.
In this view, a designates the principal wires which may or may not be
corrugated and may be round or of any other suitable section. The frame works
of the bottom, sides, ends, and lid are completed by a series of corrugated wires b
which are secured to the principal or skeleton wires a, and are preferably inter-
woven or interlaced in order to obtain greater strength and security, and for
the same object I prefer to galvanise the whole structure when completed.
The corrugated wires b may also be tied together by wire at the points or some
of the points where they interlace if advantageous or desirable.
The wire work frame is completed by a lid hinged to it and the lid may either
be dome shaped as shown or may be flat and further the frame may be oblong,
round or of any other shape required.
The wire work frame is finished by covering it with canvas, American cloth
or any other suitable material and by any of the ordinary methods employed
in covering wicker-work or millboard frames.
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 manufacture of ladies' dress baskets, travelling trunks, boxes and the
like, the construction, use and application of a frame work made of corrugated
wire in substitution for the ordinary wicker work or millboard frame substan-
tially as herein set forth.
