Improvements in Gas Burners.
I, GEORGE MACAULAY-CRUIKSHANK of 62 Saint Vincent Street in the City of
Glasgow, Registered Patent Agent and Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed (as communicated to me) to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvements in gas burners hereinafter described have for their object to
increase the lighting power of a gas flame by introducing a small metal plate
immediately above the gas outlet.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a double holed burner constructed in accordance
with the invention and
Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations at right angles to each other.
Figure 4 is a vertical section of a fish tail burner as improved under the inven-
tion and
Figs. 5 and 6 are elevations of the same at right angles to each other whilst
Figures 7, 8 and 9 are detailed views of the improvements.
Figures 1ª, 2ª, 34, 4ª, 5ª and 6ª are plans of the figures under which they are
respectively placed.
Under the invention a metal plate a is arranged over the opening of the burner
the plate being placed in the plane of the flame and having its upper edge straight
or curved, while its lower edge may be straight, curved or wedge shaped. The
plate a is at its ends fixed or held in lugs made in a sleeve b which is slipped over
and encases the upper part of the burner proper and the plate opposes a resistance
to the out-streaming gas whereby the rapidity of the discharge is diminished and
the lighting power of the flame increased.
It is a well known fact that in fish tail burners a given quantity of lighting gas
will produce the best lighting effect when the pressure is lessened and hence when
the speed of the gas stream or jet is diminished.
Experiments which were undertaken at the Town Gas Works of Carlsruhe have
proven that with the aid of this invention when the pressure of gas is 20"/m with
fish tail burners the original lighting power is raised about 27 to 30 per cent. and
with two holed burners about 103 to 114 per cent.
Having now particularly described the nature of the said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me, I declare that.
what I claim is :-
The arrangement of a small metal plate a immediately above the outlet opening
or openings of a two holed or fish tail gas burner and in the plane of the flame
which plate regulates the speed of the gas stream and increases the lighting power
of the flame substantially as described.

Improvements in the Ornamentation of Table Cloths, Mantel
Borders, and similar articles.
I ROBERT MARX of the firm of Jacob Marx & Co., Manufacturers of Chemnitz
in the German Empire and of 2 Aldermanbury Postern in the City of London, do
hereby declare the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Fringes on table cloths mantel borders and other articles have heretofore either
been manufactured apart from the body of the article or the edges of the fabric
were "frayed" and the ends of the threads used to form the fringe, or the edge has
been woven with loose threads from which the fringe was made.
"
According to the present invention however I take a piece of fabric, say for
instance a table cloth, and cut the edge thereof into a series of narrow stripes of
sufficient length. These narrow stripes are then formed into a suitable pattern as
follows: The stripes are either single or in groups, strands or bunches knotted or
sewn together or otherwise combined as has heretofore been done with "frayed
fringes for instance and by crossing the separate strips (or strands of the same)
once or several times, by twisting them together by forming tassels from the ends
beyond the crossed portions or by a combination of several of these operations a
variety of highly ornamental effects may be obtained in a much simpler manner
than heretofore and, as the fringe consists not of cords or loose threads but of
solid strips of the material the result will be a novel product not previously known
or made.
In conclusion I have to point out that I am well aware that the edge of fabric
or leather has ere now been cut to form a plain fringe consisting of straight strips
of the material and I am likewise aware that knotted and sewn fringes have been
known and I do not therefore make any broad claim but
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 :-
A fringe produced by cutting the edge of a table-cloth, mantel border or other
suitable article into narrow stripes without fraying the same and combining these
strips singly or in groups bunches or strands, so as to form a fringe showing an
ornamental pattern.

An Improvement connected with Pipes used for Smoking.
1, WILHELM BENJAMIN HAAS, of the firm W. B. Haas and Co., 6, Castle
Street, Falcon Square, City of London, Pipe 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 has for object ;-
1. Free passage for smoke.
2. Collection of nicotine and moisture.
3. Facilitates a ready cleansing.
For the purpose of my invention, I make the usual smoke aperture in the pipe
stem and mouthpiece larger in diameter than is generally done, and insert a liner
tube therein preferably throughout the whole length of the stem and mouthpiece,
this constituting a distinct tube and not in any way fastened or secured in the stem
but is free to be withdrawn and put in at pleasure. This tube does not fit close to
the wall of the stem passage except at the mouthpiece to centralise it, so that a
clearance is left all round, into which the nicotine and moisture can collect, the
passage of the added tube always remaining free for the smoke to pass through.
The outer surface of this additional loose fitting tube is somewhat rough and may
be slightly absorbent for attracting the moisture and the debris usually found there-
with and which adheres thereto.
The outer or mouthpiece end of the loose fitting tube has a button head to bear
against the end of the mouthpiece proper, into which it may be slightly recessed
but readily removeable by inserting the finger nail under the edge at the side where
the mouthpiece proper is grooved for the purpose.
The loose fitting tube is made of any material, or a compound moulded or drawn
to shape, it is preferably slightly flexible and light in weight, so as not to increase
the weight of the pipe to a smoker, the central tube coinciding or making up for
material removed from the stem which enables the tube to be lodged in place.
To cleanse this pipe, the tube has to be removed and the outer surface of it
wiped. Should any refuse be found in the pipe stem the increased diameter of the
channel or hollow will facilitate it being readily scraped out.
The annexed drawings show my invention.

An Improved Method of Preventing Incrustation in Steam and other
Boilers.
I, FRANCIS JOHN CLARKE of Bourn, in the County of Lincoln, Ironmonger,
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 is designed to afford a simple efficacious and convenient mode of
preventing incrustation in steam boilers.
It consists in suspending or inserting inside the boiler a solid block of zinc
preferentially of the shape of the block shown in the accompanying drawings.
It will be seen on reference to Fig. 1 therein, which shews a side elevation that
the block of zinc a is of the form of a rough rectangular parallelogram, and is
furnished with an eye or hook b, and with feet or lugs c, which keep the block off
the bottom of the boiler, in case of its not being suspended.
The block being inserted in the boiler a chemical action takes place between the
lime in the water and the zinc, and instead of the usual hard deposit on the shell
of the boiler, a soft layer of sludge is formed, which can be blown out in the usual
way, thus entirely dispensing with the necessity of chipping off the calcareous
deposit as is often done.
The suspension can be effected by means of a wire or chain.
When facilities for suspension do not exist the block can rest on the bottom of
the boiler when the feet will allow the water to come in contact with the block on
all sides.
The solid form of the metal block prevents a too rapid dissolution of the zinc.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
1. A block of zinc preferably with an eye or hook for suspension, and with feet
or lugs beneath; for the purpose of preventing incrustation in steam boilers as
herein explained and set forth.

An Improved Liquid Preparation for the Protection of Bright or
Polished or Unpolished Metallic Surfaces, and which may also
be used as an Anti-fouling and Anti-corrosive Composition.
I, THOMAS MAXWELL of 49 Harvie Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow in the County
of Lanark, Manufacturing 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 an improved liquid preparation to be used either as a
clear varnish for the protection of bright or polished metallic surfaces or with
colour added as a paint for dull or unpolished surfaces, the said preparation being
also applicable as an anti-fouling and anti-corrosive composition. The improved
preparation is composed of rosin, naptha, turpentine or light mineral oil and boiled
or raw linseed oil or other oxidisable oil these ingredients being used in or about the
following proportions, namely, of rosin about sixteen (16) parts, of naptha, turpentine
or light mineral oil about sixteen (16) parts and of boiled or raw linseed oil or
other oxidisable oil about two (2) parts.
In the manufacture of the composition the proportion of boiled or raw linseed or
other oxidisable oil is dissolved in the proportion of naptha, turpentine or light
mineral oil and the rosin is then dissolved in the joint mixture and either under
pressure or at a temperature above the normal temperature but which should not
be such as to unduly volatilize the naptha, turpentine or light mineral oil.
The liquid preparation so prepared may be used as a protective varnish for bright
or polished metallic surfaces or to adapt it as a paint any desired dry colour may
be added to it the preparation with or without colour being also applicable as an
anti-fouling or anti-corrosive composition.
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 :-
As a protective, antifouling and anticorrosive composition the liquid preparation
composed of rosin, naptha or turpentine, or light mineral oil and an oxidisable oil
with or without the addition of colour substantially as set forth.

My invention relates to an improved tip for billiard cues and the like, and has for
its objects a method of, and means for affixing and retaining said strips in position
which is superior to any such method or means hitherto employed.
In carrying my invention into effect, I employ an internally or externally screwed
ferrule, which may be screwed upon, or into, the end of the cue. A tip of any
suitable resilient material or substance is screwed into or upon said ferrule, so that
it abuts against the solid end of the cue, or as an alternative device I may screw
or otherwise attach the tip to the end of the cue by fitting it into a hole, screwed
or otherwise, in the wood."

Improved Tip for Billiard Cues and the like.
I, WILLIAM ELWOOD PARNELL of 25 Broad Street Ratcliff in the County of
Middlesex, 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 relates to an improved tip for billiard cues and the like, and has
for its object a method of and means for affixing and retaining said tips in position,
which is superior to any such method or means hitherto employed.
In order that my said invention may be the better understood I have appended
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which:
Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation of the end of the cue together with the tip.
Fig. 2 shows the end of a cue fitted with a tip ready for use, in the manner
herein described.
In carrying my invention into effect, I employ a ferrule A of metal or any suitable
substance or material. Said ferrule is made to screw on to the end of the cue B
so that it lies flush with the same. A short part a of said ferrule projects beyond
the end of the cue. B, and a tip C composed of compressed leather, india-rubber,
or any suitable resilient material is screwed into the ferrule A, allowing the end of
said tip to abut against the solid end of the cue.
It will thus be seen that the tip C can at any time be removed from the ferrule A
and a new tip substituted for the old one.
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 improved tip for billiard cues and the like consisting of a brass ferrule A

page_text: screwed or attached to the cue B, and of a tip C constructed so as to be screwed

axis, than they would otherwise have.
The ears may be made as an integral part of the handle a, with the fixed jaw f
secured in the forward end of said lever or handle, as shown in Fig. 1, or the said
fixed jaw may also form an integral portion of the lever or handle. Or, the ears b
may be formed, on a part separate from the handle, which separate part may be
secured to the forward end of the handle and the jaw f, fixed therein, as shown by
full and dotted lines in Fig. 4.
t
In assembling the parts as shown in Fig. 1, we may spring the outer or free ends
of the extension pieces together sufficiently to enable the nut o to be slipped
thereover, when the extensions may be sprung back to place and the shank d passed
between the ears and engaged by the nut.
Instead of providing the extension c with bearings i, as shown in Figures 12
and 4 we may form the outer bearings for the nut as pins k inserted in the ends of
the extensions c, as shown in Fig. 5, in which case, in assembling the parts the ends
of the extensions c of the ears need not be sprung together and pressed apart, as
hereinbefore described, but after placing the nut 9 in position, the bearing pins may
be secured in place.
g
By the improvement described, a very strong and efficient wrench may be
produced, while the cost of manufacturing the same may be reduced to the
minimum.
It will be seen that the inner bearings are formed by the shoulders at the point
of conjunction of the ears and the extensions.
By this arrangement the entire outer surface of the nut is exposed and can be
grasped at any point, and is firmly held as against lateral movement by the bearings
at the inner and outer ends of the extensions.
The construction of the wrench is simplified and at the same time materially
improved. The parts can be readily operated, and the nut being held between
firm bearings is prevented from becoming loose or deranged.
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 herein-described wrench, comprising a handle or lever having a fixed jaw,
the ears projecting from said handle or lever, the parallel extensions formed with
said ears, having shoulders at their points of conjunction forming inner bearings,
and shoulders at the outer edges of said ears forming outer bearings, in con-
bination with a movable jaw having a screw threaded shank and an adjusting
nut engaging the shank and encircling said parallel extensions and held by said
inner and outer shoulders, as set forth.

Improvements in Pens.
I, WILLIAM HENRY BRISTOL, of 402 Garden Street, Hoboken, in the County
of Hudson, and State of New Jersey, in the United States of America, Mechanical
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 has reference to improvements in pens, and has for its object to
provide a pen which can be manufactured at practically the same cost as hereto-
fore and serves both as a pen and an eraser. To this end my invention consists
essentially in providing the pen with a sharpened edge to form an eraser, as fully
pointed out in the following Specification and claims and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing, in which:-
Figure 1 represents a face view of a pen embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a section thereof in the plane X X Figure 1.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
In the drawing the letter A designates the body of the pen, which, in the example
illustrated, is provided with a laterally projecting portion or ear having its outer
edge sharpened to form the blade or eraser B.
In practice I prefer to have the eraser integral with the pen, the whole being
struck up from one piece of metal and the eraser ground to a fine edge during the
subsequent finishing of the pen.
I do not wish to confine myself to any particular form, or degree of projection,
for the eraser, or to any particular location for the same with respect to the body
of the pen, since it is evident that the eraser could be formed on either side of the
pen, or even on the back thereof, in which latter case it would be made to project
at right angles therefrom.
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:
1. A pen provided with a sharpened edge to serve as an eraser, substantially as
described.
2. A pen provided with an integral projecting portion having a sharpened edge
to form an eraser, substantially as described.

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 of a valve worked by a ball and lever to supply a tank or
cistern for flushing closets the inlet being controlled by a second valve in such a
manner that no water shall pass through the valve while the cistern is being
discharged or emptied the accompanying drawings fully explain the manner of
working. (A,) is the body of valve containing the two seatings (D & E) and
haveing a chamber or passage (B) in body of valve to conduct the water to
outlet (C,) the spindle (F) being fitted with spring (O,) and plug to shut on
seating (E.) (1.) the plug to outlet valve (D.) (H.) the ball lever working through
slot in (I.) (J,) the lever to main cistern valve working in hinged joint (K,)
attatched to, top of cistern (L,) stuffing box to spindle (F,) the spindle (F,) being
attatched to lever (J,) by a shackle & pin (M,) it will be seen that when the
chain (N) is pulled it lowers the main lever (J.) carrying the spindle (F,) the
spring (O,) forces the end of spindle or plug into the seating (E,) & thus prevents
any water passing through the valve till the chain is relieced when the main valve
of cistern is imediatly closed and so prevents any water being wasted by passing
through the cistern.
Haveing now particuarly discribed 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
1. The action of the spindle & plug (F,) on seating (E,) preventing the water
passing through (E,) during the time the lever (J,) is lowered substantialy as

by the application of corrugated grooved or gilled section pipes, by the use of
which, a greater area of cooling surface obtained and a more equal distribution
of the condensing water. The invention consists in the employment of corrugated,
suitably grooved or gilled pipes through which the exhaust steam passes from the
engine. I allow cold water to run or trickle over the outside of the said
corrugated grooved or gilled pipes so that the heat of the steam inside is trans-
ferred to the water outside and causes a portion of the latter to be evaporated
and absorbed by the surrounding air. The steam within the coil becomes condensed
and a partial vacuum is consequently formed inside the coil, which is in free
communication with the cylinder of the engine.
In order to illustrate my invention I annex drawings.
Fig. 1. shows a side elevation of an open air condenser containing coils of
corrugated grooved or gilled pipes according to my invention.
Fig. 2. shows a longitudinal section and elevation of the corrugated grooved or
gilled pipes which I employ instead of ordinary plain pipes...
a coil of corrugated grooved or gilled pipes through which steam passes and
upon which the condensing water from water-pipe e. drips or trickles from the
outlets d. c outlet for condensed water. The water after trickling over the said
coils passes into a tank or well. Another advantage derived by the use of the said
corrugated grooved or gilled pipes is that the corrugations grooves or gills
provide a number of points from which the water drops down upon the pipe
immediately below and thus an equal distribution of water is obtained. It will be
understood that I do not make any claim to the form of condenser or principle
employed but only in so far as the application of corrugated grooved or gilled
pipes is concerned by the use of which I obtain a greater cooling surface than by
the use of ordinary plain pipes.
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.
In open air or evaporative condensers the employment of coils of corrugated
grooved or gilled pipes for the purpose of producing an increase of cooling surface
End of obtaining more equal distribution of the condensing water over the said
pipes through the medium of a series of points formed by the corrugations, grooves,
or gills.

Improvement in Rollers on Wood Bars at Bottom of Metallic Boxes
and Trunks.
WILLIAM HIGHFIELD JONES WILLIAM HALL JONES and BENJAMIN HIGH-
FIELD JONES of Ablow Street Wolverhampton Japanners Iron and Tinplate
Workers and Enamellers trading as Jones Brothers and Company Ablow Street
Wolverhampton. We do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
It has been found that the usual method of fixing an ordinary straight sash
roller on the bars of wood to the bottom of trunks inconvenient, owing to the
fact that sash rollers only run one way, and when the trunk is wanted to be moved
about in various directions instead of rolling smoothly it drags heavily on the
floor.
To meet this inconvenience the new invention consists of a circular metal ball
roller being fixed in the place of the old ordinary sash roller on the wood bars of
the metallic trunk.
The circular ball revolving on a sharp point or pivot causes the metallic trunk to
be moved with ease in any direction, described as follows:
A circular metallic ball B is fixed to the wood bar by a plate D and is kept
from falling out by the hole in the plate D being a little smaller than the circular
ball.
At the back of the plate D is attached a cup formed plate with a point or pivot
in it, see section marked C. On this point the circular ball revolves with ease and
cannot get away from its work, because the hole in the plate D is smaller than the
circular ball.
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 application of metallic ball roller being fixed on wood bars at the bottom of
boxes or trunks, so that the box may be moved about in any
direction.

Improved Composition for Cleaning Artificial Teeth.
GEORGE FIELDHOUSE LLOYD, 244 Tottenham Court Road, London
(Dental 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 consists of a new and useful composition of matter, to be used
for the removal of fixed or objectionable decayed or decaying matter from, and
for cleansing artificial teeth when temporarily removed from the mouth of the
wearer.
My composition consists of the following ingredients, and I find in practice the
most suitable proportions of each are :-
Precipitate of chalk
Soap powder
Caustic soda
Potash
Fuller's earth
Orris root
-
2 oz.
oz.
↑ oz.
OZ.
oz.
oz.
These several ingredients are reduced by grinding or other suitable means to a
fine powder and are then thoroughly mixed so as to form a homogeneous mass of
uniform colour, of a greyish white, but, by means of some innocuous powder or
dye, it may be made any suitable colour, such as light pink.
In using the above named composition, the artificial teeth are dipped in water,
and with a soft brush, a small portion of the powder is lifted and brushed on
until the desired cleanliness is attained.
By the use of this composition, used each time the artificial teeth and palate are
removed from the wearer's mouth, not only is all objectionable matter removed,
but the teeth, on being returned to the mouth, are perfectly devoid of any
objectionable taste or smell.
I am aware that a composition has been in use for the same purpose, but I am
not aware that any composition consisting of the ingredients of my composition
nor mixed in about the same proportions has been used previously.
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 herein described compound adapted to be used for the cleansing of
artificial teeth and palate, mixed in the proportions herein described.

I, PETRUS JOHANNES VAN WORKUM, of 267, Jansteenstraat. Amsterdam,
Holland, Broker, 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 brush is designed to perform the cleaning of shoes and boots much quicker
and easier than has hitherto been the case.
For this purpose there has been manufactured a metal apparatus marked a,
through which there runs the axis b. To this axis there is connected a flange to
which the brush d is fastened by means of screws while at the other end of the
axis ba cogwheel e is connected.
Parallel with the axis there runs through a metal tube a shorter axis f
To last mentioned axis a larger cogwheel g is connected which gripes into the
cogwheel e.
Besides there is united to the cogwheel g a handle by which the brush is
brought into motion and is moved either forwards or backwards as may be desired.
This apparatus may by means of a screw k be fastened either to table or bench.
By moving the apparatus with the one hand and with the other hand holding the
shoe against the brush, the cleaning is effected in less time and much more
successfully than is the case with ordinary shoe brushes at present in use.
A child may be employed for the purpose as the turning of the brush requires
very little exertion.
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 mechanical shoe-brush substantially as and for the purposes described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
