Manufacture of Azo-dyestuffs from Picramic Acid.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Buildings, Chancery
Lane, in the County of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention (as communicated to me from abroad by The Farbwerke
vormals: Meister Lucius and Brüning, of Hoechst a/Main, in the Empire of Germany,
Chemical Manufacturers,) to be as follows:—
My foreign correspondents have found, that by the action of diazotised picramic
acid upon 14-naphtholsulphonic acid; 2:3:6, 1:3:6 and 1:3:8-naphtholdi-
sulphonic acids; 1:8:4 and 2:8: 6-dioxynaphthalenemonosulphonic acids; 2:8: 6,
2:3:7, 1:8:4-amidonaphtholsulphonic acids; 1:8:3:6, 2:8:36-amidonaph-
tholdisulphonic acids, dark dyestuffs which dye wool in an acid bath, of valuable
resisting properties may be obtained.
The process is illustrated by the following examples :-
EXAMPLE I.
22 kilos. of sodium salt of picramic acid are dissolved in water to which are added
6:9 kilos. of nitrite. This solution is run into a mixture of 40 kilos. of hydrochloric
acid and 100 kilos. of ice water, the whole being stirred for a short time. The diazo-
compound separates out mostly in yellow green crystals. If this solution be run into
a solution of 34.2 kilos. of amidonaphtholdisulphonic acid "H" and 30 kilos of soda
in water, the mass becomes blue-red and the resulting dyestuff separates out in
laminae of bronze lustre. To complete the reaction tho mixture is well stirred
When dried, the
during 6 hours; it is then heated to 100° C. and salted out.
dyestuff is in the form of a powder of bronze lustre, soluble in water with a red-blue
colour. The dyestuff dyes wool in an acid bath in black shades, which, on a
subsequent treatment with bichromate, become deep green, very fast to washing,
soap and fulling.
EXAMPLE II.
22.2 kilos. of sodium salt of picramic acid are diazotised as described in Example 1
and the diazo-compound is run into a solution of 32 kilos. of ẞ-naphtholdisulphonic
acid-2:3:6 to which are added 30 kilos. of soda. After 6 hours the whole is heated
to 100° C. and the dyestuff is salted out. When dried, it forms a black powder,
soluble in water with a blue-red colour and it dyes wool in an acid bath red-violet.
On subsequent treatment with bichromate the shade is but little changed, and great
fastness to soap and fulling is obtained.

Improvements in Sliding Trivets.
I, DAVID HOLMES, of 39, Lichfield Road, Aston, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Surgeon, 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 improvements hereinafter described in sliding
trivets or hangers and has for its object to provide better and cheaper means
whereby the sliding plate of the trivet is made in one part which dispenses with
the ordinary arrangement for connecting the same to the slide bars which is
effected by rivetting to the said plate two or more slides which I am enabled to
form from portions of the plate. In order that my invention may be more clearly
understood I will describe it by reference to the accompanying drawings the same
letters of reference indicating similar parts throughout. Figure 1 represents a
side elevation of my invention. Figure 2 is a plan of the same and Figure 3 a
cross section on the line a b. Figures 4, 5, 6 & 7 are modifications. A A are the
slide bars similar to those of an ordinary trivet. B is the sliding plate made from
sheet iron or other metal having cut parts DD & CC which are cut by suitable
tools & turned under in the form of ears or slides E E¹, the said ears being pierced
with holes to fit the slide bars A A loosely thus allowing the sliding plate to
slide freely on the bars & for the removal of dirt &
grease that may adhere
thereto. In Figures 4 & 5 I show a modification in which the cut parts D D &
CC are in the reverse direction which brings the ears EE¹ nearer the edge of the
sliding plate B. It is obvious that the slide bars A, A are passed through the
holes in the ears previous to the rivetting up of the same on the hooked part
hanger of the trivet H. In the arrangement shown at Figures 6 & 7 the ears
E E are extended & provided with two slots instead of the holes shown at Figure 3
the junction of this arrangement is to allow the trivet plate B being tilted as
shown at Figure 6.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:―
1. The improvements in trivets consisting in the formation of the ears or slides
from a portion of the sliding plate substantially as described & set forth.
2. In the method of tilting the trivet plate B by extending the ears E sub-
stantially as described & illustrated at Figures 6 & 7.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipe Mounts and Bowl Covers..
I, THOMAS MORTON, of Saint George's Place, in the City of Birmingham,
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 improvements in tobacco pipe mounts and has for its
object improved means whereby the covers of such mounts may be readily closed
and secured in position, or opened at will.
In order to make my invention more clear I have appended hereunto an illus-
trative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference.
Fig. 1, is a sectional view of this my invention as applied to a pipe bowl.
Fig. 2, is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 3, is an inverted plan view of the hinged cover showing the spring catch
fastening.
Fig. 4, is an inverted plan view of the hinged cover showing a modified form
of spring catch fastening.
6, is a cylindrical body having the horizontal flange 7, upon which is also formed
the one part of the hinge joint at 8. This cylinder fits within the pipe bowl 9, and
may be secured by any suitable springlike action, or by indenting or incising
points in its sides as seen at 10, see Fig. 1. 11, is the cover hinged as before
intimated at 8, and having suitable perforations 12, of any desired shape
or dis-
position. Secured to this cover and upon the underside is the spring catch
plate 13, whose forward end 14, is so shaped that when the lid is closed down,
(as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 1) it shall springwise bind or click into the opening
at 15. To more perfectly ensure this I may indent the metal at this part so as to
form a projection 16 over which the spring may ride. In some cases I may modify
the shape of the spring catch and provide two of such fastenings as seen in
Fig. 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The combination with a tobacco pipe mount 7, and hinged cover 11, of one or
more spring catch fastenings 14, with or without projections 16, as set forth
and shown.

Improvements relating to Spirit Stoves and the like.
I, MAURICE SALOMON, Manufacturer, care of Julius Norden and Company, of
Aldenhoven, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention 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 improvements in spirit stoves and has for its object to
provide means whereby the same can be rendered portable and more suitable for
travelling, by reason of my improvements in connection therewith, so that the
same may be capable of being carried in the pocket without fear of the escape of
the fluid spirit, as is now the case.
In carrying my invention into practice I dispense with the use of fluid spirit
for burning and in place thereof provide spirit rendered solid or consistent which
can be made into blocks of any required shape so that the same can be ignited
readily and used in connection with any suitable stove for heating and cooking
purposes.
In forming the spirit into solid form as described, to any given quantity of
ordinary spirit, such as methylated spirit, er pure spirits of wine, I add eighteen
per cent, or thereabouts of hand soap, and two per cent. or thereabouts of shellac,
in the following manner:-
The spirits are heated carefully and the hard soap added, after this mixture
has been slowly boiled at a moderate heat, the shellac is added in the proportion
above given, the resulting fluid is then conducted into vessels of any required
shape in which it slowly hardens.
By moderate heating its solid state can be changed into a fluid one as may be
required in order that it can be poured if desired into the apparatus in which it
is required to be used, such as spirit boilers, pocket heating apparatus and the
like, and in which it hardens again. Similarly after use, that is after the flame
has been extinguished, the substance again hardens and remains in that state
until a flame is again applied.
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:-
In connection with portable or other spirit stoves, forming spirit into solid form
by the addition of hard soap, and shellac, in the proportions and manner herein
described, so that a consistent feul is provided.

page_text: Date of Application, 14th June, 1898-Accepted, 23rd July, 1898
An Improved Halter.
I, ARTHUR EDWIN BISHOP, of 24, Duke Street, Cardiff, Saddler, 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 consists in an improved halter.
The improved halter which constitutes this invention consists of a looped strap
on which the nose-band is slung in such manner as to be easily slid up or down.
The ends of the looped strap are passed through a clip free to be slid up and down
to suit various sizes of heads of horses, mules and other animals.
The usual rope is attached to the extremities of the looped strap.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 represents a front view of my
improved halter. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 a plan. The usual rope attached
to the halter is not shown.
The halter consists of a strap a looped at top to lie on the horse's head. Slung
on the strap a is the nose-band b. It is slung on the strap a by means of the
eyes through which the strap a is loosely passed. The material preferably
employed for the strap and nose-band is webbing such as is commonly used for
under-strapping the stuffed seats of couches, chairs and the like. This material,
or material like it, being comparatively soft, is not liable to chafe and thus to
create sores which frequently result when a rope is brought into contact with the
animal's jaw or other part of the head. Below the nose-band the strap a is con-
ducted from both sides to a clip c which is a piece of flexible substance such as soft
leather. In this clip is a slit through which the strap ends are passed. A plan
of the clip is shown at Fig. 4. The clip c can be moved up and down on the
strap, and, being, as aforesaid, of flexible nature, it will remain at any point to
which it is moved. Thus the halter is capable of being rapidly adjusted to secure
it on variously sized heads. In tightening the halter on a horse's head, the strain
and pressure are more equally distributed on the animal's head, and the formation
of knots is obviated.
With the addition of a bit, the halter is readily adapted for use as a bridle.
When a bit is applied, the halter strap is passed through the rings at each end of
the bit.
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 halter, consisting of a looped strap such as a, of flat webbing or like material,
having a nose-band such as 6 of the same or like material, slung loosely thereon
and free to be slid up and down, and an adjustable clip such as c through which

Improvements relating to Supports for Use in the Cultivation
of Hops.
We, JOSEF REIMAN and WILHELM FEIGL, both of Saaz (Bohemia), in the Empire of
Austria, 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 :-
In cultivating hops frames of solid wire are generally used, from which cords extend
to the earth, along which the hop plant grows upwards. The solid wire, hitherto
exclusively used (Figure 2), not being elastic is difficult to bend, and to stretch and
besides comparatively thick wire must be used to make it sufficiently strong to resist
the strain to which it is subjected.
These drawbacks are obviated by this invention, according to which instead of solid
wire, stranded wire is used, that is to say a thin wire cable or cord made of several
thin wires twisted together (Figure 3), such stranded wire is more flexible, elastic
and extensible than solid wire, is much easier to stretch and much lighter in weight,
as for equal strength the diameter of the cross section of a stranded wire is smaller
than that of a solid wire.
Moreover, according to this invention, galvanised wire is preferably used, for the
purpose of preventing it from rusting.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of a series of wire supports for hops.
Over wooden posts a are stretched horizontal thin stranded wires b their tension
being regulated by means of thicker stranded wires c. From the horizontal wires
cords or the like d extend to the ground and serve as supports and guides for the
hop-plants.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
Wire supports for use in hop cultivation, comprising a wire frame stretched
over posts a and consisting of stranded wires as b c for the purpose of enabling
the wires to be better stretched economising weight of wire, substantially as
described.

Improvements in Nut Locks.
I, WILLIAM SCHERER, Machinist, of No. 9021, Ontario Avenue, South Chicago,
in the County of Cook, and State of Illinois, one of the United States of America,
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 nut locks.
My object is to provide a nut lock of extremely simple and cheap construction
which can be readily made secure but unlocked whenever desirable.
Having these objects in view the invention consists in a nut lock comprising
certain improved features and novel combinations of parts appearing more fully
hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improved nut lock used in connection
with a rail joint.
Figure 2 is a perspective detail of the nut.
Figure 3 is a front view of the washer used with the nut on the rail joints.
The numeral 1 designates a fish plate, and 2 a bolt passing therethrough. The
form of washer employed is shown in Figure 3, the same being centrally apertured
at 3 for the reception of the bolt, and having a straight lower edge 4 which rests
snugly against the fish plate. The outer face of the washer is provided with
radiating teeth 5. It will be seen that by the engagement of the straight edge of
the washer with the fish plate, the washer is prevented from turning. My improved
nut is designated by the numeral 6. The highest point of the face of the nut is
shown at 7. The face inclines from its point around the opening in the nut until,
at the point 8, it is somewhat lower than the point 7, so that a shoulder 9 is formed
which is adapted to engage with the teeth of the washer, whereby the nut is locked
in position.

Improvements in and connected with the Preparation of Sand or the
like for use in Making Moulds or Cores.
I, THOMAS ROBINSON, of Beaconsfield, Farnworth-in-Widnes, in the County of
Lancaster, Ironfounder, 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 to provide materials or substances for mixing
with sand, loam, or the like whereby the particles of such sand will be caused to
cohere, and it is specially applicable to sand that has been used for moulds for
castings so as to enable such used sand to be re-used several times. The invention
also enables the use of coal dust to be dispensed with to a great extent.
For these purposes I make use of sawdust or like powdered woody substance.
The sawdust, or the like, is mixed with water having clay suspended therein,
or with clay moistened with water, so that the particles of sawdust, or the like,
become impregnated or coated with clay. The sawdust coated with the clay is
then partially dried in an oven, or by other convenient means, and is then mixed
with the sand, loam &c. which is to be used for moulds. The clay on the saw-
dust causes the particles of sand to cohere together and to the sawdust, and the
sawdust itself furnishes carbonaceous material which may, either entire y or to a
large extent take the place of the powdered coal or the like which is commonly
used in facing sand.
Hitherto it has not been possible to re-use sand for facing the moulds in con-
sequence of the heat of the first casting destroying the adhesive property of the
sand but by my invention this difficulty is overcome.
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-
First. The combination with sand, loam, or like substances, to be used in
making moulds or cores for casting metal, of sawdust or the like impregnated
or coated with clay substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
Second. Sawdust or like substance impregnated or coated with clay to be used
for mixing with sand, or the like for making moulds or cores for casting metal
substantially as set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Manufacture of Homogeneous Mixtures for the Incandescence Bodies
of Electrical Glow Lamps.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton Build-
ings, Chancery Lane, in the County of London. Consulting Engineer and Chartered
Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (as communicated
to me from abroad by Allgemeine Electricitäts Gesellschaft, of Berlin, Germany,
Manufacturers) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be parti-
cularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
For electrical incandescence bodies that consist of conductors of the second
class, and are mainly intended to glow in the open air, only metallic oxides or
mixtures thereof can be used. For producing such incandescence bodies in a
homogeneous condition it is therefore essentially necessary to effect a careful
mixture of the metallic oxides with each other, and with the binding material.
A considerable shortening and perfecting of the process of manufacture of such
incandescence bodies is effected if the soluble salts of the oxides, in particular
the chlorides and nitrates are used for the purpose.
According to the present invention the solutions of these salts are prepared of
the required degree of concentration, then mixed together, consolidated by evapora-
tion and the mixture then heated to incandescence, whereby the acid radicles
are driven off. An equally homogeneous mixture of metallic oxides can however
also be obtained by precipitating them by means of alkalies or other suitable
precipitants, or by electrolytic action from the aqueous salt solutions.
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 1
claim is:-
A manufacture of homogeneous mixtures for electrical incandescence bodies
composed of conductors of the second class, which consists in producing intimate
mixtures of metallic oxides from mixtures of aqueous solutions of the salts thereof
either by precipitation by means of a suitable precipitant, or by electrolytical
separation from such solutions or by evaporation and subsequent driving off of
the acid radicles by heating to incandescence, substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Delivery and Stoppering Appliance for Vessels containing
Pungent Fluids.
I, CARL BENCKER, of 32 and 34, Badstrasse, Bayreuth, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the saine is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to a safety appliance for pouring out and closing
bottles or vessels containing pungent fluids such as essence of vinegar and similar
bodies which are kept in a concentrated form and the consumption of which in this
form may cause poisoning.
The annexed drawings represent this safety appliance as applied to a bottle
neck:
Fig. 1. Vertical section.
Fig. 2. Plan.
As will be seen from the drawing this arrangement consists of the neck a of the
bottle or vessel in which the fluid is kept in connection with a doubly perforated
stopper 6 made of cork, rubber or other suitable material which is inserted in the
mouth of the vessel. Into the double perforations of the stopper 6 two short glass
tubes c c are fixed which project at both ends of the stopper. One of these is intended
as an outlet for the fluid, say, essence of vinegar, and for this purpose is suitably
bent at the external end into a semicircular shape. The other serves for the inlet
of air which takes the place of the fluid and may also be bent at the
external as well as the internal end in an outward direction. The external
ends of the two glass tubes open as shown in the drawing at the upper edge or rim
of the stopper and are fitted in the cavities d d provided for this purpose in the
upper edge or rim of the lip of the bottle neck by this means projecting angles or
parts at the top of the appliance are avoided. In connection with the bottle neck
and stopper there is a cap e of caoutchouc or other similar elastic material which is
placed over the neck in which the stopper is inserted and protects the stopper and the
mouths of the glass tubes from the entrance of impurities or foreign matter from
without and prevents also the evaporation of the fluid contained in the vessel. This
rubber cap prevents poisonous combinations which might arise from the use of metal
caps.
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. A safety outlet and closing appliance for vessels containing pungent fluids such
as essence of vinegar, etcetera, consisting of a doubly perforated stopper fitted with
two glass tubes to be fixed into the neck of the vessel over which a capsule or cap of
caoutchouc or other similar material is adjusted.
2. In the appliance described in Claim 1 the tubes open at the top and bent
outwardly in a semicircular shape so that their upper edges are co-terminous with

CHARLES ALEXANDER STEVENSON, 84, George Street, Edinburgh, 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:-
My invention consists in an entirely new method of disposing of the waste
liquid products from distilleries on other works by ejecting the effluent either with-
out or after stiaining or claufication in the form of splay or very fine particles. This
process of spraying inay be done at a height from the top of a chimney, towel, or
other building, or over an area of land, or river or over fires One preferred method
18 to let the spray issue from the top of a high chimney such as works usually
have for other purposes.
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 18.
A novel means for the disposal of waste liquid products by ejecting them in
the form of spray or fine pai ticles.

page_text: I, FRANK WEAVER, of 71, White Ladies Road, Redland, Bristol, Surgeon
Dentist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The objects of my invention, are, to provide a novel draft in bowls and stems
of tobacco-pipes.
To dispense with the old-fashioned small channel as in ordinary kinds. To
obtain complete combustion of the whole of the tobacco placed in bowls. And
to provide improved facilities for cleaning.
To carry out this invention, I bore a channel of about 16 of an inch, throughout
length of stem of a tobacco-pipe, and in direct communication with the bottom
part of bowl.
I then attach (with metal tube) to the screw or push end of mouth piece, a
solid rod of about 16 of an inch in diameter, and of sufficient length to pass
through stem, and over bottom of bowl. The draft from bowl to mouth piece,
is along the space which results in consequence of the diameter of the rod being
less, than the size of bore in channel of stem.
The smoke obtains access to mouth piece through holes in the metal tube,
which attaches rod to mouth piece.
Advantages. No small channel to clog or choke, no moist plugs left at bottom
of bowls and is anti-nicotine.

1, FRANK WEAVER, of 71, White Ladies Road, Redland, Bristol, in the County
of Gloucestershire, Dentist, 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 that class of tobacco-pipes, which have push or screw
mouth pieces, and in order that it may be clearly understood I will, describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawing. A channel of about
% of an inch in diameter is bored throughout the length of stem of the pipe,
and in direct communication with bottom of bowl. I then attach to the push
or screw end of the mouth piece, a tube (Fig. a) 1 inch in length by ½ of an
inch in diameter, and having apertures (Fig. b,) in the side for entrance of smoke

page_text: to the mouth piece. To the end of tube Fig. a, is fixed a tube (Fig. c) of
about 1 of an inch in diameter, and of sufficient length to pass through stem
of pipe and cross over (Fig. d) bottom of bowl. The tube Fig. c, is plugged
with wood or other suitable substance to prevent the access of smoke, in that
direction.
Having now particulary described and ascertained the nature of said
my
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
(1) The providing a novel and improved draft for smoke, which in this inven-
tion is along the space (Figs. e e) that results in consequence of the tubes
Figs. c & a being less in diameter than the bore through channel of stem.
(2) The dispensing with the small channel leading from bowls to stems,
as in ordinary tobacco-pipes.
(3) The novel manner in which the tobacco is prevented from resting upon the
bottom of bowls, as in this invention it rests upon Fig. d, being that portion
of tube Fig. c, which crosses over bottom of bowl.
