We, CHARLES COLLIN, of 15 Rue Quincampoix in the City of Paris, Gentleman,
and LUCIEN BENOIST, of 49 Rue d'Alésia, in the City of Paris, Gentleman do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Our Invention consists in a new process for fixation of the colouring matter by
oxydation at high temperature of the vegetable or animal fibres, when they are taken
out from the vats-chemical and fermentation vats, cold or hot-used for the
reduction of indigo or any other reducible colouring matter. In our investigations
upon the influence of the temperature respecting the fixation of colouring matter on
textile fibres, in cold or hot reduction vats, we have ascertained, that the oxydation by
heat fixes more rapidly and faster and in greater quantity the indigo or colouring
matter with which the fibres are impregnated, when taken out from the vat, than by
the cold oxydation, used at present.
When the fibres or tissues are removed from the vat, containing the colouring
matter, they pass between two rollers, which squeeze out the superfluous quantity of
liquid, and immediately afterwards put on heated metal rollers; in contact with them,
the liquid remaining in the fibres or tissues is converted into steam, whereby a violent
escape of vapour takes place, which mixed with the air, will oxydise or fix the
colouring matter on the fibres or tissues.

page_text: The application of the heat can be made by any suitable apparatus, heated by any
kind of means, the principal object being to bring the coloured fibres or tissue in
contact with the high temperature before the oxidation or fixation.
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 application of heat for the oxydation or fixation on textile fibres-when taken
out from cold or hot.vats-of indigo or any other colouring matter, with which the
fibres are impregnated."

GEORGE GRANVILLE CAMPBELL 2 Bryanston Square London, W. Gentleman do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention for holding Railway & other tickets consists of a metal rod or bar,
about 1 inches long, fixed to the bottom & at one side of a cylindrical "cap." The
other end of bar is hinged or jointed to one end of a similar but longer bar.
Both
are provided on their inner surfaces with toothed projections which nearly meet when
holder is shut. A slot is cut in cap for free end of moveable bar to fit into, & it is
there locked by a ring which slides up & down cap between projections above & below
cap. The ring is kept down by a spring fixed to cap under the ring.
The ticket is gripped between the teeth, & can be secured or released by locking &
unlocking moveable bar, or the ring may screw up & down cap, or a spring may
secure bar in slot. A split or other ring is fitted to top of cap to secure holder to
person.
For holding one or more tickets in same holder another plan on same principle is
adopted. In this case both bars are fixed to cap or cross-piece on top, & the other
ends may or may not be joined by a cross-piece. A flat disk with toothed projections
is fixed to centre of one bar, & a screw works through centre of the other. The end
of the screw is smooth and is freely attached to a toothed disk.
The action of the screw works the moveable disk backwards & forwards & grips the
ticket or tickets-If the space between bottoms of bars is left open, the disks and
screw may be fitted to and through ends of bars.

page_text: Comber Boards for Jacquard Looms.
I JOSEPH LOWE 322, Fairfield Road Droylsden near Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Machine Wood planer 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 performing my invention I construct the slips for comber boards of jacquard
looms of earthenware or glass. These slips have been hitherto constructed of wood
or metal but I find that if constructed of earthenware or glass they offer more
resistance to the wear of the healds working through the holes formed in them and
consequently wear longer and the holes have less tendency to be worn into grooves
whereby the healds will last longer and not be broken by irregularities in them which
is often the case when slips are used when only slightly worn.
In order to make my meaning more clear I have annexed a drawing illustrative of
a slip for comber boards in which A represents a series of holes through which the
healds work and B represents a row of such holes as they appear when worn.
It will be obvious that any material offering more resistance to the wear of the
healds will last longer than the slips now generally in use and at the same time I
find that slips manufactured in accordance with this invention of earthenware or glass
can be made at a much less first cost.
Having thus particularly described my said invention together with the best
methods with which I am acquainted for carrying the same into practical effect I
wish it to be understood that I do not claim anything in relative to the size or shape
of slips for comber boards of jacquard looms nor in the shape or size or number of
holes formed therein but what I claim is :—
1st. The manufacture of slips for comber boards for jacquard looms of earthenware
or glass.
2nd. The use and application of slips for comber boards of jacquard looms manu-
factured in accordance with this invention.

WILLIAM TAPP Perfumer &c. College Green Bristol do hereby declare, the nature of
my invention for WATER SOFTENING to be as follows:-
In a porous vessel similar to that used in Galvanic Batteries. Or others of a
suitably porous nature I confine borax or other water softening chemicals or
compounds, which when placed in a Ewer or other vessel of water percolates through
the above named porous cell or cells and becomes assimulated with the water.

page_text: WILLIAM TAPP Hair Dresser 37 College Green City and County of Bristol 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 new or improved Water Softening Apparatus consists of a pot or cell,
preferably of porous ware, obtainable of the manufacturers of such goods, which
charge with such chemicals or substances (seperately or compounded) as borax,
Bicarbonate of Soda, common soda, lime &c, or any other chemicals or substancos
known to those that are acquainted with the art of water softening as re-agents.
After charging the said porous cell I close the same with a cork or by other suitable
means. When the above described is put into a ewer or other vessel of what is known
as bard water through its containing in solution Carbonate or Sulphate of lime &c.
The said water percolating through the above named porous cell takes up a portion of
the reagent or reagents employed the effect of which is the percipitation or throwing
down of the before named carbonate or sulphate of lime &c. thereby leaving the water
much softer in consequence. This system of water softening is not intended for,
through it might possibly be made to apply to cisterns where a continuous supply of
water is regulated by means of a ball tap, but for ewers or other containers where
daily or as circumstances may require the softened water is drawn or poured off and a
fresh supply added, the porous cell acting as a container and distributor of reagents in
the act of water softening.
It will be easily understood that the size of the cell and power of the reagent or
reagents employed should be regulated according to the hardness and quantity of the
water to be softened.
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. The adaptation and utilization of the porous pot or cell charged with a reagent
or reaccents as chove decoribed as a creatam of Watan Saftaning

I, BRUNO HANSEL, of 18 Pestalozzistrasse, Dresden, Saxony, in the Empire of
Germany, Merchant, 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 :-
Whereas throstle rings are usually made of steel or caso hardened iron, and such
rings wear irregularly and become grooved, causing frequent breakages of thread
and other inconveniences. Now the object of my invention is to manufacture throstle
rings of hard glass or porcelain.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the mould for forming the throstle rings. Fig. 2 is a
section of the same on the line of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a throstle
ring, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line y y of Fig. 3.
The mould is formed of iron or other metal; a a are two movable sides; bb are
two hinges whereby the sides a a are hinged to the central bar c. d d are two handles,
united by screws to a a. e is a cross bar for holding the two sides together, and f
are set nuts for keeping the bar e in position.
The grooves in the mould are shewn in Fig. 2. Fig. 3 shews the form of the ring,
and Fig. 4 shews its sectional form.
The mould is made to contain two, three, four, or any other number of moulded
grooves, so that a number of rings may be made at one and the same time.
The form and dimensions of the rings may be varied according to requirements.

page_text: My improved throstle rings are of small cost, and the method of manufacture is
simple and easy; and, being made of glass or porcelain, they remain constantly
smooth and clean and resist wear.
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

Improvements in Separating Arsenic from Hydrochloric Acid.
I MICHEL NICHOLAS D'ANDRIA of West Egerton Street Salford in the County of
Lancaster Chemical 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 :-
Commercial hydrochloric acid is usually contaminated with arsenic to such an
extent as to render objectionable the use of the said acid for galvanizing.
Now the object of my invention is to cheaply and efficiently separate the arsenic
from the acid so as to obtain the former in a condition suitable for use as a pigment
and the latter in a form advantageously available for galvanizing.
My invention consists in precipitating the arsenic as sulphide by adding to the
liquid hydrochloric acid preferably when at a strength of from 20° to 30° T and at
about a temperature of 60° F precipitated sulphide of zine-I find that the sulphide
of zinc should be damp or wet when added and should be as far as possible kept at
the bottom of the liquid acid so as to allow the sulphuretted hydrogen evolved to pass
through the said liquid acid and precipitate the arsenic contained therein.
The sulphide of arsenic when washed and filtered is suitable for use in the arts.
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.
Separating arsenic from hydrochloric acid by means of precipitated sulphide of zinc
substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

An Improvement in Pen Holders.
I, JOSEPH LETIERE PETIT of New John Street West Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Pen Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My invention consists in the construction of Pen Holders with that part of the
holder in which the pen is inserted being turned upwards or downwards to a suitable
angle that is to say we bend them in such a way that the socket for the reception
of the pen, stands at an angle above or below the tube which fits upon the wood or
other shaft, our object being thai of its universal adaptability to the numerous classes
of pens in use, in order to render their passage over the paper, in the act of writing,
smooth and freer.

When the hoisting hook has been attached to a crane or other chain the sling chain
or rope is passed round or otherwise attached to the load to be raised and then secured
to the hoisting hook by passing one end thereof over the bend of the hook and
returning it between the claws the hook or ring at the other end of the sling chain
having been previously coupled up thereto as shewn in Fig. 4. The load is then
ונ...מ

page_text: hoisted to the required height and when landed the strain is taken off the hoisting
hook thereby releasing the sling chain from the grip of the auxiliary jaw and enabling
the hoisting hook to be readily detached therefrom and attached to another sling
chain carrying another load.
Our improved hoisting hook may be made of any convenient size and shape.
ADVANTAGES.“
1. Our invention combines the essential features of simplicity of construction with
great utility and efficiency.
2. It will be obvious that the heavier the load to be raised the firmer the grip of the
auxiliary jaw as the weight of the load depending from the hook serves to tighten up
the lower claw and so increases the strength of the grip in proportion to the weight
of the load thus the efficient action of our improved hoisting hook is ensured by the
natural action of the law of gravitation.
3. The sling chain or rope can be securely and almost instantaneously attached to
or detached from our improved hoisting hook.
4. Such sling chain or rope can be readily lengthened or shortened as required.
5. The hook can be placed in close proximity to the load-(as shown in Fig. 4)—thus
dispensing with the intervening length of chain now so frequently required and
enabling the load to be raised to a higher level and placed on a car truck or elsewhere
more readily than heretofore.
6. Owing to the combined utility security and convenience of our improved hoisting
hook it effects a great saving both in time and labour and thus materially reduces the
cost of loading and unloading
CLAIM.
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
Making a hoisting hook in two parts each provided with a claw and otherwise
constructed combined arranged and fitted all substantially in the manner and for the
purposes herein before described and shewn.
Tea-pots, Hot Water Jugs, and other similar Articles.
Year: 1887

page_text: Tea-pots, Hot Water Jugs, and other similar Articles.
JOHN RHODES, Traveller, 37 Blurton Road, Fenton Staffre. 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 has for its object an improved method of attaching lids to earthenware
tea-pots, hot water jugs, and other similar articles; and consists in forming a hinge in
sucli a manner that it will not only prevent the lid from falling off when the tea-pot
or other article to which it may be applied is tilted, but will also allow the lid to
be detached when desired; together with the advantage that the lid may be lifted up
with the hand holding the tea-pot or other article to which my invention is applied,
by pressing the thumb or finger upon the lengthened part of the hinge or lever
provided for that purpose, and so leaving the other hand at liberty to refil same.
I will now proceed to describe my invention and the mode of operating same as
applied to a tea-pot, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, which
illustrate a method of carrying it out. The same letters refer to the corresponding
parts in each figure. Fig. 1 is a side view. Fig. 2 a plan. Fig. 3 a side view of a
tea-pot when tilted. Fig. 4 shews lid when detached.
Upon the top of lid A I attach a projecting piece or lever B, said projecting piece
or lever I provide with pivots (to fit into slot holes D formed in brackets E attached
to body of tea-pot F. G is the lengthened part of projecting piece or lever B.
It will readily be seen from the foregoing description, that if the tea-pot is tilted,
as in pouring out its contents, that the lid will not fall off, but be suspended by the
before named pivots C. When I wish to remove the lid from the tea-pot altogether,
say for cleaning purposes, I lift the lid up for a short distance by knob H and then
move it laterally towards the tea-pot handle until pivots C are clear of slot holes D.
When I simply want to fill or refil the tea-pot, or look into its interior, I press my
thumb or finger upon the lengthened portion G of projecting piece or lever B, and
thus lift it to the required height; as this may be done with one hand I have the
other at liberty to refil.

page_text: Although I have described my invention as applied to a tea-pot, I would distinctly
have it understood that it is equally applicable to hot water jugs, or other similar
articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I claim is :
The mode of attaching lids to earthenware tea-pots, hot water jugs, and articles of a
similar kind, by means of a hinge constructed and operated as herein described, and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings; to prevent the lid from falling off the
article to which it is applied, when the said article is tilted, and also admit of the lid
being easily removed and replaced when required.

A Process for the Manufacture of Anthraquinone.
I, JOHN IMRAY of No. 28 Southampton Buildings Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, 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 process for the manufacture of Anthraquinone by sub-
jecting Anthracene to the oxidising action of sulphate of per-oxide of iron whereby
the anthracene is converted into Anthraquinone and the sulphate of the peroxide is
converted into sulphate of protoxide.
The reaction proceeds slowly at temperatures under 100° C but above that degree
it is accelerated and at 150° it is sufficiently rapid for practical purposes. The ferrous
sulphate produced can be reoxidated and so converted into ferric sulphate available for
subsequent operation. Thus the process may be considered to consist of two parts,
first the reaction of ferric sulphate on anthracene, and secondly, the regeneration of
ferric sulphate by the action of air and heat on the ferrous salt; but in fact it is
found advantageous to carry on both operations simultaneously in the following
manner.
Into a close vessel lined with lead or other material that resists action of ferric
sulphate, is introduced a quantity of hydrocarbon containing, say 50 kilogr. of pure
anthracene; to this are added from 2,000 to 3,000 litres of solution of ferric sulphate
of strength from 28° to 45° Beaumé. The charge is heated during about 72 hours
to a temperature of from 120° to 150°: while compressed air is injected to maintain
the ferric sulphate at its full degree of oxidation. The effect of this is that at the end
of the operation the ferric sulphate remains entire, ready for further operation, the

page_text: anthracene and other substances accompanying it being thus virtually oxidised by the
injected air, the ferric sulphate serving as intermediary.
At the end of the operation described the crude anthraquinone is separated by
filtration, and is washed and purified by the known methods, sublimation and sulphuric
purification.
Although certain proportions of materials used and temperatures and times of
action have been stated above by way of example, these may be varied and apparatus
of various kinds may be employed for carrying on the operation described.
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
The process for the manufacture of Anthraquinone by oxidising Anthracene by
ferric sulphate while the sulphate is regenerated by injection of air, substantially as
herein described.
