IRUVIDIONAL DECIFICATION.
A Weight-carrying Machine.
I CHARLES EDWARD STIRLING Colonel (late) Royal Artillery of The Sussex
County Club 133 Marine Parade Brighton do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The machine consists of a wheel about 30 in. diam. the ends of the axle of which
pass through the centre of the sides of an elliptical hoop surrounding the cycle.
Upon this hoop above the axle on either side is fixed one end of a frame made of
bars 3-4', in length. These bars are united at the other end where they again
bifurcate laterally. When the machine is about to be moved the wearer fits his
body into the fork thus formed. The pressure of the pedestrians body against the
fork (the weight to be carried on the hoop having previously been truly balanced
on the axle) moves the machine.

A Weight-carrying Machine.
I CHARLES EDWARD STIRLING Colonel (late) Royal Artillery of The Sussex
County Club, 133 Marine Parade Brighton, 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 machine consists of a hollow wheel (A) (in metal or otherwise formed of two
parts screwed together) about 30" in diam. 10" in thickness at the centre and 2" at
the circumference of the wheel the ends of the axle of which pass through or
beneath the longer sides of an elliptical hoop surrounding the cycle. Upon this hoop
rests a frame work so arranged as to carry conveniently certain articles. Inside
the cycle on the axle hangs a tray (B) for carrying weights. On to the ends of the
axle are fixed two shafts about 4' in length. These shafts meet a cross bar at their
other ends which takes the form a few inches from their contact of a semi circular
fork the ends of which are about 18* apart.
Between this fork and the wheel are two handles.
When the machine is about to be moved the mover fits his body into the fork and.
grasps the handles.
The pressure of the body against the fork in walking propels the wheel. The
hands on the handles control and guide it.
The manner in which access can be obtained to the tray is by passing the
hand through the appertures in the side of the cycle which appertures are shown in
the plan.
Whilst the cycle yielding to internal pressure revolves and moves the tray
remains without revolving suspended from the axle.

An Improvement in Manuscript, Account, and other Books.
I, GEORGE HAYES of No. 13 Victoria Street, Westminster in the County of
London, Shorthand Writer 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 simple means of indicating the particular page of a
manuscript, account or other book, to which processes of copying, balancing, or
reading have reached. For this purpose I make a small piece at the free corner of
each page readily detachable from the rest of the page, preferably by a diagonal
line of perforations. As a person using the book completes his work on each page,
he can tear off the triangular or other shaped piece from the corner, so that all the
pages which he has passed in his work are distinguished by the absence of the
corner pieces, and he can at once turn to the first of the pages that have still to be
dealt with. In the case of manuscript books, such as those used for short hand,
which are often written, first one way and then in the reverse way, two of the
corners may be detachable as described.
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:
A manuscript, account or other book having one or both of the free corners of
each page made readily detachable by perforations, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.

An Appliance for Supporting the Guard of Carving Forks.
I, HENRY GEORGE GASTRILL WILKINS, 1 Windsor Road, Ealing, London,
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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a simple, ready, and effective support,
for keeping the guard of a carving fork in position when raised, when the original
spring of such guard has become too weak so to do, or is broken, thus saving the
cost of repair and preserving the utility of the guard.
To effect this I fit an adjustable support consisting of a spring clip made of
wire, rubber, or any other suitable substance or material, to the stem of a carving
fork. One portion of such spring clip is formed into a loop that passes round
the stem of the fork, while the two ends of such clip are free and are bent to
form two shoulders or projections, which project in front of the joint of the fork
guard so that when such guard is raised it is kept in position by such shoulders
or projections. At the same time owing to the elasticity and resiliency of the
clip, the guard can be readily folded down, as, when so folded down, the free ends
of the clip expand sufficiently to allow the guard to lay flat. The clip is held in
position of the fork by the combined pressure of the loop on the under surface of
the stem and of the two free ends on the upper surface thereof, and such clip may
be readily fitted to any existing carving fork, or the fork may in the first instance
be manufactured therewith.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
The combination with a carving fork of a spring clip support, made, arranged,
and fitted, all substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore 5
described and shewn.

Fastening for the Covers of Ice Cisterns.
I, ALEXANDER MAX TIPPNER of Neustadt, Dresden in the Kingdom of
Saxony, German Empire, Engraver, 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 order that the coldness of ice may be fully utilized for cooling purposes it
is imperative that the ice be kept from contact with the outside air or, at least
such contact should be reduced to the lowest possible minimum if the effect
required is not to be lost altogether.
The fastenings usually in use in cistern covers are defective in this respect, since
they only restrict the volume of the air current but do not prevent its coming in
contact with the ice.
The object of the present invention is to provide a fastening, which will be at
once easy of handling and effect a hermetic closure of the cover.
I will now explain my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which:
Fig. 1. is an upper view of the lock cover.
Fig. 2. is a longitudinal section of the fastening,
Fig. 3. being a cross section of same.
The inlet opening of the ice cistern is closed by a cover a. the rims of which fit
with it. The cover itself is arranged as insulator as already known. A cross-
piece c turns in a horizontal plane round a bolt c¹ placed near one side of the cover
on the upper part of the cistern. Opposite to bolt c' is placed a clincher d to
receive cross-piece c in its closing position. In the middle of cover a a spiral
spring e is arranged, pushing on a bow formed rail which, raising high enough,
serves as cover-handle. The rail serves as guide for cross-piece c. when it is
turned over the cover for closing the cistern. In the same moment, cross-piece c
comes in contact with rail, the latter is pressed down, and the spring with it;
said spring then presses against cover a, which by this pressing closes the cistern
hermetically.
Packing such as india-rubber or the like may be placed between the cover and
the inlet opening.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
In fastenings for ice cisterns a device for closing same easily and hermetically in
such way that the outside air cannot possibly come in contact with the ice and so
characterized, that a cross piece or beam c turning round a fixed bolt c¹ presses
down a rail fin turning during the closing movement and thereby closing a spring e
placed under same and which, when said beam c catches in a cramp d near the feed
opening and forms a resisting force, presses the cover a on the feed opening and
closes same hermetically substantially as set forth and shown in the drawings.

My invention refers to the application of advertisements to, or the ornamentation
of, umbrellas, parasols, and the like, as hereafter described, whereby I utilize the
articles aforesaid in a novel manner i.e., for the purpose of advertisements, or I
improve the appearance thereof by the novel ornamentation, or I effect a combina-
tion of these aforesaid objects, all as hereafter described.
'
According to my invention I provide the interior of the umbrella cover with
advertisements, which can be printed on the textile fabric of the cover, or attached
to same by adhesive material, may be woven therein during the course of manu-
facture, or otherwise, and whereby when the umbrella, or the like, is opened the
said advertisements may be seen within same.
In some cases I ornament the interior of the cover as aforesaid, with artistic
devices, designs or illustrations, and as will be obvious, I may combine or intermix
the said artistic designs with advertisements. Advertisements or designs may also
be introduced on the ribs, stretchers, sticks and other fittings. The covers of
umbrellas, parasols or the like, may also according to my invention be made
transparent, or translucent, and carry advertisements or designs, and light falling
on the cover of the article (when open), would then aid in exhibiting the said
designs or advertisements to great advantage.
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 advertisements to, or the ornamentation of, the interior of
the covers, or the fittings, of umbrellas, parasols or the like, or the application of
combined advertisements and ornament thereto, in combination, or not, with
transparent or translucent covers, all substantially as and for the purposes herein-
before described.

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:—
At the present time the raising of manhole and lamphole covers and the like
is frequently attended with great difficulty since the covers are liable to get wedged
so tightly into the frames through the dirt and road detritus getting between them,
and other causes. Now by the improvement of our invention the aforesaid
difficulty cannot occur as the projecting flange around cover is constructed in such
a manner as to prevent the dirt and road detritus from gaining access and thus
getting wedged.
For the better explanation and illustration of our said invention we herewith
attach a descriptive drawing in which corresponding parts are marked by same
letters. The drawing only shews the section of a manhole cover and frame with
the improvements applied, and it is equally obvious that they can be applied to
any shape of cover and frame whatever used in connection with sewers, whether
round, square, oval, hinged, ventilating, solid, or other shapes. From the drawing
it will be seen that we propose casting a projecting flange on and around the cover

Improvements in Veneer Drying Apparatus.
I, FRITZ RÖMHILDT, of Karlsruhe, Baden in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
Hitherto veneers have been generally dried in the open air or in artificially
heated drying rooms. Now this invention has for its object to construct a machine
or apparatus which shall effect the drying of veneers more quickly than by such
methods; and consists essentially of a heated rotating cylinder around which passes
an endless conveyor band which carries the veneer between it and the said cylinder
and delivers it to the place required.
The accompanying drawing represents a diagramatic elevation of an apparatus
constructed according to this invention.
A continually rotating cylinder A which is almost completely surrounded by the
porous band B is heated by steam, hot air, or by other direct means, whilst starting
from the table T the veneers are drawn between the outside of the cylinder and
the band B by the latter being thereby very evenly heated and most part of their
moisture being evaporated until they reach the scraper C by which means they
are taken off the cylinder A and passed on to the conveying apparatus D the
length of which is so arranged that the veneer thereon may be completely cooled
and air dried and being, received at the end of the conveying apparatus on a
suitable table T.
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 a veneer drying apparatus the endless conveying band B, cylinder A, and
scraper C in combination with the conveyor band D substantially as described and
for the purpose set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Carving Fork Guards.
I, THOMAS WILLOUGHBY NORTON ELVIN, of East Dereham, Norfolk, Coach
Builder, 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, arranging a forwardly depending stem with rear-
wardly and inclined and kinked weighted arms from below the pivot pin hole of a
carving fork guard, in such a manner that the weights can, by the curvature of the
arms, rise up or move from the outside of the fork's shank, and always ready for
raising the guard to "safety" position.
The invention also permits of the prongs of the fork being laid upon a table with
the front, or the back of the prongs uppermost, the only difference being in the
placing down for closing purposes, if the fork be laid down with the front of the
prongs next the table, a slight forward motion in contact with the table will close
the guard, but if placed with the back of the prongs on the table, the guard closes
by the backward fall of the weighted arms while being so laid, and without the
necessity of first touching the table.
The invention is clearly shown in the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a carving fork with the guard closed, and represented
with the front of the prongs next the table.
Figure 2 a similar view with the guard open.
Figure 3 an elevation of the carving fork, and represented with the back of the
prongs next the table, the guard being self closing by the fork being turned over to
that position.
A is the fork shank. B, B, the prongs, and C the handle. D is the guard pivoted
to the shank A at E with the stem E projecting forwardly. F, F, are two arms
spread outwardly from said forward stem below the guard's pivot hole, and then
rearwardly with weights G, G, on their uprising ends H, H, as balance weights, or
as a preponderating counterpoise to that of the guard D.
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 :-
Providing a carving fork guard with forwardly projecting stem having spread
out arms from below the pivot pin hole, said arms being also bent, or kinked rear-
wardly, and weighted, as represented, in the manner, and for the purpose, or purposes
set forth.

A Composition for the Production of Marble-like Plaster.

page_text: Date of Application, 1st July, 1893-Accepted, 4th Nov., 1893
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Composition for the Production of Marble-like Plaster.
I, RUDOLF BAMMANN, of 21, Gneiseneustrasse, Berlin, S.W., in the German
Empire, Plasterer, 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 composition for the production of marble like
plaster and consists in adding silicate of zinc to a mixture of gypsum and lime,
whereby the plaster which is prepared in the usual way, receives a marble-like
lustre or appearance.
The said composition is produced as follows:
Zinc in the form of cuttings, or zinc dust, etc. is placed in ordinary water, the
zinc dust subjected to the action of the water for a considerable time and the
mixture afterwards boiled up. A corresponding comparatively small amount of
the zinc metal is thereby dissolved and the said liquid, which according to analysis
contains 32 milligrammes of zinc per litre is mixed with a litre of (Bé) solution three
degrees strong of silicate of alkali. This mixture of the zinc-solution and the
silicate-solution is diluted then with its fourfold weight of water, and this diluted
mixture is used now for forming the pulp with the other materials.
The latter consist of gypsum and lime, one part of gypsum being taken to
two parts of lime. In order to attain the required stiffness, it will generally be
sufficient to mix the liquid and the dry materials in a proportion of half a litre
of liquid to three quarters of a kilo. of the dry substances.
These proportions are to be regarded, however, merely as an example, as the
same may vary according to the quality of the dry stuffs, the hardness required,
and such other conditions as arise in the practice.
The potassium silicate is the one which is most suitable, as when used in con-
nection with zinc, it will produce an intimate mixture and strong lustre.
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 :-
The employment of alkali silicate in connection with silicate of zinc, in the
preparation of the plaster, for imparting thereto a marble like lustre, substantially
as set forth.
