A Weather and Acid Proof Enamel for Building Materials and the
like, and a Method of Producing the Enamel.
I JOSEF STIEL of Cologne on the Rhine in the Empire of Germany, 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 the production and use of an enamel which applied to the
surfaces of building materials and the like by a special process makes the same proof
against atmospheric destruction and gives them a pleasing appearance.
Instead of the coating one can manufacture of the enamel also separate plates or
tiles or any kinds of building material for ornamentation of the surfaces of buildings
or for covering other rough surfaces.
The enamel is produced by mixing gravel (silicic acid) phosphorite or analogous
minerals carbonate of soda, potash, cryolite and fluor spar with metallic oxydes
according to the colour to be given to the product in a furnace with great heat.
General directions concerning the proportions in which the said ingredients are to
be mixed cannot be given since such depend upon the degree of temperature existing
in the smelting furnace, upon the nature of the materials which are to be coated with
enamel and of the substance of which they are composed upon the amount of hardness
occasioned by the burning, upon the nature of the surface, whether the same is to be
smooth, rough or perfectly crude, also upon whether the material shrinks much when
cooling down etc.
The following is a useful composition.

page_text: 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
An enamel to be constructed in furnaces with great heat of a mixture of gravel
(silicic acid) phosphorite or analogous minerals, carbonate of soda, potash, cryolite,
fluor spar etc. and of metal oxydes for suitable colouring adapted to be applied to or to
coat by immersion, bricks, flags, slabs for floors, building material of all kinds fittings
such as baths, tables and other objects and adapted to be ornamented by moulding,
roughening, graining, polishing, etching or sand blast, for the ornamenting of said
materials and the rendering of the same weather proof and acid proof substantially as
set forth.

An Improved Composition for Covering Walls and the like.
I, GEORGE FREDERICK REDFERN, of the firm of G. F. Redfern & Co., the General
Patent Office, No. 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the county of London, Patent
Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication from
abroad by J. G. Maardt, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, Civil
Engineer, and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to the manufacture of a composition for covering brick-walls
and the like, the said composition resembling porcelain in appearance and capable of
being painted or otherwise decorated.
The improved composition is prepared in the following manner.
About 75 parts of carbonate of lime are mixed with about 25 parts of Kaolin and
sufficient water is added thereto to form a stiff paste.
This paste is then formed into lumps of suitable size and calcined by being
submitted to a temperature of about 1700 degrees Centigrade. The lumps are then
reduced to powder and mixed with about 5% of calcined magnesia and the product is
kept in air tight vessels until required for use, when it must be mixed with water and
laid on the wall to a thickness of about one eighth of an inch. While still wet the
composition can then be painted in distemper with any desired colour.
It is advisable to keep the composition damp while it is hardening and it will then
become almost like porcelain itself.
It is suitable for use in all climates and in all countries and can be washed or
cleaned in the same manner as porcelain.
It can be made either shiny or dull according to requirement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is.
The manufacture and use of the improved composition for covering walls and the
like the said composition being prepared from a mixture of carbonate of lime and
kaolin which after having been calcined is reduced to powder and mixed with
magnesia substantially as set forth.

I, RICHARD MORRIS of Bennett Park, Blackheath in the County of Kent, 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:-
In using basins, as they are usually constructed for washing much of the liquid is
often splashed over the edge, and if the basin containing liquid is suddenly moved or
has its motion suddenly stopped, the inertia or momentum of the liquid causes a
quantity of it to overflow at one side.
My invention relates to a construction of wash basin or an appliance to a wash
basin such that the splashing over or overflow of the liquid contents is in great
measure prevented, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 is a section of a wash basin according to my invention.
In the upper part of the basin AI provide a conical rim B, which is made in one
piece with the basin and has through its lower part holes or slots C giving free
passage to the liquid, and at one part D a larger opening for pouring out the contents
of the basin. Instead of making the conical rim B in one piece with the basin A,
it may be a separate piece as shewn in Fig. 2ª seating on a shoulder formed within A.
When the liquid in the basin is agitated, the rim B, owing to its conical form
inclining inwards all round, tends to throw the splashes inwards, and such liquid as
escapes over B falls into the space between A and B and returns by the holes C and D
to the interior.
and ascertained the nature of this
Having now particularly described
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In combination with a wash basin an inner conical rim constructed and applied
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

This rib or suitable stay may be of the well-known "paragon" form, as used in
umbrellas, which U form may have smooth, turned-over or serrated edges, said "saw
edges being for the purpose of keeping the rib from moving or becoming loose in the
bullet when subject to sudden or violent pressure, such as the discharge by powder
or other explosive compound or other force from a gun or tube. In some cases it
may be tinned, sukdered or made fast by certain known methods.
The rib or stay may be in the form of an ordinary pin or nail, or of corrugated
metal or material for the above-named purposes, combining great strength, with a
minimum of foreign material in the projectile; or of other suitable form or shape in
order to obtain the greatest amount of firmness and rigidity, having special reference
to the long, narrow bullets to be used with the "magazine" rifles now in course of
construction.

stated proportions may, however, be varied according to the nature of the raw
material. which, when fine will necessarily require more of the oil-cake meal to
cement the parts together than when the said raw material is coarse and it will
also depend somewhat on the moisture contained in the oil meal which must be
moistened with water, and mixed so as to form a paste although when used
directly as it comes from the mill it may be practical to use it without the
addition of water, especially under favorable circumstances as when the coal
material is fine and wet.
-
When the said ingredients have been thoroughly mixed so as to form a pudding the
material is shaped into bricks, blocks, or balls of any shape or form that fancy
may dictate, either by hand or by being pressed into suitable moulds and dried or it
may be cut into blocks and set out in the air to dry.

page_text: The oil cake paste forms both a glue to connect and hold the particles of coal
together and at the same time an igniter to the coal in addition to this it is in
itself a great heat producing substance and thereby adds intensity of heat to
the coal.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my
foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is ;
1. The art or process of making an artificial fuel from small pieces or particles of
coal and oil meal with sufficient moisture to form an adhesive cement and then
mixing and drying the said combination in the proportions substantially as specified.
2. An artificial fuel consisting of small pieces or particles of coal cemented
together by a dried paste formed of oil meal in the proportions and manner sub-
stantially as specified.

A Musical Toy.
I, REINHOLD HÄNDEL, Manufacturer of Leipzic-Reudnitz in the Kingdom of Saxony
and German Empire 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 invention hereinafter described relates to a new toy in which upon a set of wings
or vanes being rotated by a current of air metal tongues or reeds are successively
caused to vibrate so that the motion of the apparatus causes it to play a tune.
This is effected by causing the wings or vanes to actuate a striking device
successively impinging upon the metal reeds so as first to raise and then to release
them.
In the accompanying drawings is shown a toy constructed according to this inven-
tion; Fig. 1 shews a longitudinal elevation of this toy, Fig. 2 front elevation part of
the top or lid being removed. Figs. 34 and 5 show details of construction hereafter
referred to and Fig. 6 shows the toy in "double" form.
are
The toy consists substantially of a drum A closed by two lids or covers B B¹ in
which apertures a a are provided. Within this drum is fixed in any suitable manner
and upon a connecting piece b, a metal disc in recesses d d whereof the reeds
free to vibrate. The cogwheel e and striking piece fare firmly connected to a spindle
revolving in the central aperture in disc e and are rotated by suitable toothed gear, viz.
the wheel and pinion when the wings or vanes m rotate.
9
The striking piece is of the shape illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, it is inclined at the
point and provided with a sharp edge so that it can easily raise and release the reeds.
By this means the roeds are rapidly vibrated and speak."
"
According to the arrangement of the reeds z on the periphery the melody produced
by the device will vary.
In Fig. 6 is shewn a toy with two sets of vanes and two sets of reeds the drum
being furnished with apertures o o. and mechanism such as above described.
The musical toy is actuated by a current of air.
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 :-
=
1st. In a musical toy the striking piece f in combination with the reeds and
vanes m substantially as described for the purpose specified.

FREDERICK VALENTINE NICHOLLS 2 Jermyn Street London do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To the safety saddle bar H. Rees-Philipps Patent No. 3250, 30/6/83 I put a
controlling spring fixed vertically down the bar plate, and above the pivot pin.

Improvement in Safety Saddle-bars.
FREDERICK VALENTINE NICHOLLS (late of 2 Jermyn Street, London) 13 Berkeley
Street, Piccadilly, London 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:-
To the safety saddle bar H. Rees Philipps Patent No. 3250-30 June 1883 I
put a controlling spring fixed vertically down the bar plate, and above the pivot
pin. This arrangement enables the bar to be set closer to the points of the tree,
and reduces the weight in comparison with the present bar, in which the controlling
spring is set horizontally.
And in order that my invention may be properly understood, and readily carried
into practice, I have appended hereto, a sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1. is a front elevation of a saddle bar, and
Fig. 2. is a back elevation thereof.
It will be seen on reference to the said drawing and to the letters of reference
marked thereon, that the bar plate a has pivotted to the lower part thereof a bar b
which on a rider being thrown from his horse, would partly rotate or yield to any
pressure brought to bear thereon in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the
position shewn in dotted lines, thus releasing the rider. The said bar b is kept in
its normal position by means of a pin c passing transversely through the bar plate a,
and is there kept to its work by the vertical spring d pressing against the back end
thereof, and thus forcing the pin c against the back of the lower part of the bar b.
Thus it will be seen that a much lighter saddle bar is constructed than hereto-
fore, and at the same time all the advantage retained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The application of a vertical spring to a saddle bar having a revolving or yielding
arm, said arm being controlled or kept in its normal position by a pin, which is
kept to its work by the vertical spring, substantially as herein described and shewn
in the accompanying drawing.

LEONCIO RODRIGUEZ of Albacete in the Kingdom of Spain, 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 postal envelopes and the object of the invention is to make
the same in such a manner that the difficulty of opening them without detection
shall be so greatly increased as to render tampering with the correspondence practically
impossible.
The improvement consists therefore in making the envelopes with a number of
perforations or punctures in and along the gummed edges, or those gummed edges
which lie outside when the envelope is closed, so that attempts to open the envelope
without thoroughly loosening the gum will result in the tearing of the edges and
therefore detection.
The accompanying drawing shows an envelope in which the upper and lower flaps A
aud B are respectively provided along their edges with rows of punctures Cplaced at
a convenient distance apart and similar, preferably to the punctures made in sheets
of postage stamps-At the points of the flaps A and B, or of the outer flap A only,
may be also a line of punctures D. With this method of arranging the punctures or
perforations the same are located along all exterior gummed seams or connections of
the envelope.
The punctures may be made by any of the known means usually employed for
similar work

page_text: 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 postal envelope having along the gummed edges thereof closely lying
perforations C adapted by their position to weaken the material whereby it is liable
to be torn in event of tampering as set forth.
2) A postal envelope having along the exterior gummed edges thereof, rows of
perforations C substantially as for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Trousers.
ANDREW TAIT, Junior 26 Thomas Street, Walcot Bath Tailor do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The trousers contain in addition to the ordinary number of pockets two extra ones
in front similar to those in whole fall trousers. They are a combination of whole fall
and fly front.
Top waistband forms a short strap at each side so that trousers may be worn
without suspenders thus enabling wearer to do without if he so chooses. The straps
also conceal pockets. This is where the novelty lies & for which I desire protection.
Dated this 20th day of July 1889.
C. D. access to both pockets.
A. B. The short straps when drawn in by a buckle which is fastened on the trousers
brings all the loose material on to the hips. They have also the power to close the
trousers at the fork & when buckled will keep trousers steady & firm & immoveable
on body in whatever position wearer may be in without suspenders.
C. D. The vent or opening which is at side seam of trousers is left for the wearer
to get hand into pocket-same as in full fall trousers. The vent is 3 in. long from
top down-then commences side pockets which extends 6 inches. The drawing
represents front & side view of trousers.
