IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER
Year: 1886

page_text: I, WILLIAM A. MURRAY, of Covington, County of Kenton, State of Kentucky,.
United States of America, Dairyman, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER," 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 my invention is to reduce the cost of making butter, and at the
same time supply an article which will be as good in flavor, color, and quality, as
that made from the cream of cow's milk in the ordinary manner; and to this end,
my invention consists in mixing a quantity of sweet milk with certain flavoring
and coagulating matter and churning them together for a few minutes, after which
a quantity of butter is added and the churning continued for a few minutes longer,
then it is worked, in well or suitable water, for a short period of time, and after-
wards salted and allowed to cool in the usual manner, as will now be described
more fully.
To one gallon of sweet milk, add one ounce of liquid rennet, twenty-five grains
(Troy) of nitrate of potash, soda, or any suitable alkali, one ounce of granulated
sugar, and one half teaspoonful of butter coloring; put all in a churn and churn for
five minutes; then add eight pounds of butter, such as made from cow's milk, and
continue churning for four minutes longer, after which take it out of the churn and
work it, in well or suitable water, for one minute, then pour off the water and salt
it well and set it in a cool place to become firm. Keep it covered with cloth and
salt in the usual manner.
The rennet is for coagulating, the potash and sugar for flavoring, the milk and
butter for supplying body, and these when worked as described, produce an article
of food for table use which is free from impurities and the objections of
oleomargarine, butterine, and other similar manufactured substitutes for butter,
while, at the same time, it possesses all the good qualities of pure butter made
from the cream of cow's milk.
It is not absolutely essential that coloring matter be added to my compound,
but in order to remove any prejudice that might arise from lack of color, use a
suitable amount of ordinary butter coloring which may consist of any suitable
healthful material.

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. In the manufacture of butter, mixing one gallon of sweet milk with one
ounce of liquid rennet, twenty-five grains (Troy) of nitrate of potash, one ounce of
granulated sugar, half teaspoonful of butter coloring and eight pounds of butter,
churning together and working in the manner, substantially as described.
2. An improvement in the making of butter, which consists in mixing with a
quantity of sweet milk, flavoring and coagulating matter, then adding to this
solution a quantity of ordinary butter, almost equal in bulk, and churning the
whole together, in the manner substantially as described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS FOR RAILS AND SLEEPERS
Year: 1886

page_text: We HERBERT RUMSEY of St Hildas, St Margarets Twickenham in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer, and JOHN EBENEZER HOPKINSON of Westfield, Southborough
Rise, Surbiton in the County of Surrey Engineer do hereby declare the nature of
our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS FOR RAILS AND SLEEPERS and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Our invention relates to improvements in fastening rails to metallic sleepers, and
its chief objects are that the rail may be fastened or taken up without disturbing
the sleeper, and to provide for a perfectly tight joint, and obtaining increased
security and economising labor, the fastenings being altogether independent of the
sleeper, so that in case of any part of a fastening being broken or deranged it can
be renewed without replacing the sleeper.
.
The method of carrying out our invention consists in fastening the rail down to
the sleeper by loose clips-On the underneath of these clips, there is a bolt head,
made solid with the clip, which bolt head has one side cut off, making it somewhat
the shape of a T bolt.
In the sleeper there are holes cut the shape of the bolt head, which holes are
elongated on the side nearest to the rail, the size of the shank which is square.
The clip is inserted into the hole in the sleeper to receive the bolt head of the
clip and then slipped along until the shank is in its proper position in the elongated
hole, the bolt head bearing against the underneath of the sleeper.
In the top part of the clip there is a tapered groove, so that a tapered key or
cotter can be driven in it, the bottom surface of of the key bearing hard on the
foot of the rail, thus wedging up the rail, and preventing the clip from working
loose.
In order to prevent the clip working back and the rails getting out of gauge,
filling pieces are inserted in the holes cut in the sleeper and bearing against the
back of the clip.
In the accompanying drawing, we show our improvements applied to a sleeper
for receiving an ordinary flat bottom rail.

page_text: The arrangement is illustrated in section in Fig. 1, in plan in Fig. 2, and in
elevation in Fig. 3.
(A) (A¹) being the clips.
(b) (6) the square shank forming a portion of and solid with the clip (A) (A¹).

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
1° In the construction of Railways and Tramways fastening the rails and
sleepers together by means of loose clips (a) (a¹) and key or cotter (d) (d) all
made arranged and fitted substantially in the manner and for the purposes
specified and shewn at Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the accompanying drawings.
AN IMPROVED FEEDING BOTTLE
Year: 1886

page_text: I, EDWARD CHRISTIAN HODGSON of 121 Capel Street Dublin in the County
of Dublin Ireland Chemist do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
AN IMPROVED FEEDING BOTTLE and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention bas reference to the production of an infant's feeding bottle which
can be used with greater ease and comfort than feeding bottles hitherto in use so
far as I am aware.
The nature of my invention will be readily understood on reference to the
accompanying drawing in which A is an ordinary glass infant's feeder to hold milk
or other liquid food B is a wooden topped cork or stopper through which is passed
a glass tube 6 penetrating to near the bottom of the feeder. To this tube is
attached an india rubber pipe carrying at its end an oblong shaped ball c made of
same material and terminating in a point or teat c¹. This oblong shaped ball
being detachable from the india rubber tube at pleasure can be applied direct to the
stopper without any intervening tubing-The action of my improved apparatus is
briefly as follows ;-
The bottle being charged with milk or other liquid food the wooden stopper
provided with the tubing as above described is screwed on, and when it is desired
to draw off the contents the india rubber ball is squeezed gently which on re-
expanding will cause the milk or other liquid to flow from the bottle into the ball
from which it can be drawn or sucked with ease and comfort.
Amongst the advantages of my invention may be mentioned the following;-
Its near approach to nature in feeding infants. The softness to the lips, the use
of the ivory (or bone) piece being dispensed with and consequently the danger of
injury to the mouth or gums being removed.
The easy suction required to draw liquid from the ball instead of from the bottle
as in other forms of feeder.
The facility in applying the ball direct to the bottle stopper without the use of
any tubing whatever.

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
In an infant's feeding bottle the use and application of an expansion or oblong
ball of india rubber or other suitable material either at the end of a piece of india
rubber tubing or secured direct to the stopper in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as described and set forth.

STRENGTHENING METALLIC BOXES
Year: 1886

page_text: I, HENRY HERMAN CHILTON, of 35 Merridale Road, Wolverhampton in the
County of Stafford, Tin and Iron plate worker and japanner do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for "STRENGTHENING METALLIC BOXES" and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
It is usual to strengthen the lids of sheet iron travelling trunks and similar
metallic boxes, by means of what is known in the trade as a 'block' or 'stiffener'
(hereinafter referred to as a stiffener) riveted to the inside of the lid, and running
along the whole length of it-Of this stiffener in its general form an illustration is
given in figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, which is a cross-section through
the lid of a trunk of the Scarboro type. Here A is the lid and B the stiffener
which is held in position against the inside of the lid A by means of rivets
(indicated by dotted lines) passing through the flanges of the stiffener. The
stiffener has thus two points of contact with the lid. The object of my invention
is to render the stiffener capable of resisting a greater strain, and I attain this end
by giving to the stiffener three or more points of contact with the lid. For this
purpose I make the stiffener of the section shewn in figure 2, which is a view
corresponding to figure 1, as are both the remaining figures. The stiffener has
here three points of contact and is practically a stiffener of the kind shewn in
figure 1, duplicated. If it is desired to still further increase the strength of the
stiffener, a fourth point of contact may be obtained by triplicating the stiffener,
and so on, but in practice the three points of contact will be found sufficient for all
ordinary purposes.
An obvious modification of my invention, but one which would scarcely prove
so rigid as that just described, is shewn in figure 3 when two stiffeners of the old
kind are substituted for that illustrated by figure 2.
In some cases it may be found expedient to obtain the three or more points of
contact by means of the modification illustrated in figure 4, where a channel K
corresponding to that lettered E in figure 2, is formed in the lid of the trunk
instead of in the stiffener, the ordinary form of stiffener (a little modified in
respect of breadth) being adopted.

page_text: In all the figures F is a small flange at each end of the stiffener riveted against
the end of the lid to ensure perfect rigidity.
Of course, though I have described my invention as applied to the lid of a
travelling trunk, I do not limit its use in any respect but claim the right of
adapting it to any part of any description of metallic box whatsoever.
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 :-
The method of strengthening metallic boxes substantially as herein described
and illustrated by figures 2, 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings.

particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation.
Fig. 2 a rear view and
Fig. 3, a transverse section of a shoe or boot counter, containing the invention,
the nature of which is defined in the claim or claims hereinafter presented.
Fig. 4 is a side view and Fig. 5 a transverse section of the improved duplex
serrated reinforce, hereinafter described-in its condition for being applied to a
counter or band.
I have combined with the reinforce, a simple .belt of leather or other suitable
material, fastened to one range of the teeth at their points and projecting a short
distance above and a short distance below such points-without reaching to the
other range of teeth-all being essentially as represented in the aforesaid
drawings in which the metallic reinforce is shown at A and the belt or band
at B.
In this reinforce, the triangular space a, between each two teeth b, of either
range, extends within a tooth of the other range, the sides of the notch being
parallel to those of the tooth. The teeth of the upper range are hooked and
extended through the belt B, and the points are beaten or forced down upon the
belt so as to firmly connect it to the reinforce. Each tooth of the lower range is
usually bent inward at an angle, as represented in the drawings at 8, such being to
enable the tooth to project under the insole.
Furthermore, each tooth of the upper range is, near its point, bent outwardly to
an angle with the rest of the tooth, such being as shown in Figs 4 and 5. When
80 made, the teeth can be readily drawn forced into and through the counter or
band and afterwards bent or clinched thereupon.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improved heel counter reinforce substantially as described, consisting of
two ranges of teeth, in which the angular space between any two teeth of each
range is extended into a tooth of the other range, from its base toward its point
essentially as set forth, and each of the teeth of either or each range only, is
hooked or bent near its point at an angle to the rest of the tooth.
2. The improved heel stiffener, consisting of the duplex serrated reinforce and
of the band or belt fastened to one range of the teeth thereof and extended a short
distance both above and below the points of such rango essentially as representei,
without being lapped on or projected below the other range of teeth-all being
substantially as set forth.
3. The improved heel counter reinforce, substantially as described, consisting of
two ranges of teeth in which the angular space between any two teeth of ench
range is extended into a tooth of the other range, from its base toward its point,
essentially as set forth.

Improved Construction of Metal Staging and Tables for
Plant Houses.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD BERRY of 5 Bonfield Road, Lewisham in the County of
Kent, Commercial Traveller 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 construction of staging or tables for plant
houses composed entirely of galvanized iron, the table or shelf being formed of
galvanized corrugated iron, which is supported at its edges by a framework of
galvanized angle or T iron to which it may or may not be secured by galvanized
screw bolts and nuts, and which is in its turn supported upon galvanized iron or
Tangle feet, also secured by means of galvanized screw bolts and nuts. By this method
of construction a light, portable, and durable construction of staging or table is
obtained, which, being secured together by bolts and nuts, can be easily and rapidly
fitted together without requiring skilled labour.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews by way of example a perspective view
of a table constructed according to my invention, and Fig. 2 shews an enlarged section
of the connection of the parts. The top A of the table is of galvanized corrugated
iron, which is surrounded by a framing B of galvanized angle iron, on which it may
either simply be loose or it may be secured thereto by screw bolts. To the framing B
are secured the legs D of galvanized T or angle iron by screw bolts C.
Each pair of opposite legs is by preference formed in one with a transverse piece D¹,
which serves as support for the corrugated top; the legs may also be connected at
bottom, if necessary, by galvanized bar or angle iron ties E.
For staging consisting of two or more tiers of shelves, the same method of con-
struction is employed, the legs or supports on the one side of the table or shelf being
merely continued up to the required height for the next shelf.

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
Constructing staging and tables for plant houses with galvanized corrugated iron
shelves or tops surrounded by a framing of galvanized angle iron, and supported by
galvanized angle or T iron legs or uprights, secured to the framing by galvanized
bolts and nuts, substantially as herein described.

page_text: I, HENRY KESTERTON Mechanical Engineer Birmingham 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 :-
If the metal Manganese is thoroughly combined with another metal which has
little or no tendency to oxidise such as Aluminium Tungsten Nickel or Tin or any
other metal of similar properties in this respect, in suitable proportions, its character
both chemical & physical is changed & its capability of resisting oxidisation
becomes practically equal to that of the metal with which it is combined & the
resulting compound metal or alloy, may be used as a substitute for Nickel in the
manufacture of German Silver or other similar White Alloys.
It is necessary the Manganese should be thoroughly combined with the special
metal used to prevent oxidisation, before being added to the Copper Spelter
& other metals which constitute the principal portion of the White Alloy to be
made, or the result as far as oxidisation is concerned will not be satisfactory.
I therefore melt the Manganese in a plumbago crucible, then add the special metal
& when thoroughly combined cast them into ingots which may be added to the
other metals, by the ordinary methods used in making White Alloys.
I find the proportions in which the Manganese must be combined with the
special metal, used to prevent oxidisation, will depend on which of the inoxidisable
metals is used for that purpose, the nature & character of the alloy to which the
Manganese & its combined metal is to be added & the purpose for which the
resulting White Alloy is to be used, but a practical metallurgist will easily
ascertain, which of the special metals is best adapted to his particular purpose
& the proportions in which it must be combined with the Manganese for the
purpose of this invention.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The prevention of oxidisation to which the metal Manganese or any alloy
coutaining considerable quantities of Manganese is subject, by combining the said

page_text: Manganese with suitable proportions of a metal or metals known to be practically
inoxidisable, substantially as, herein before, described & set forth.
2. The use of Manganese, after its having been so combined or treated, as a
substitute for the metal Nickel, in the manufacture of German Silver & other
similar alloys, substantially as, hereinbefore described & set forth.

I, ABRAHAM MARTIN, Harbour Master, (St. Peter Port) No. 1, Ampthill place
Victoria road Guernsey do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The peculiarity of this double shackle (B) is the impossibility of the dropping out
of the main pin (D) which in many instances has caused the Loss of Life & Ship,
Also by keeping Buoys in place moored to guide Mariners through dangerous
passages, which are frequently adrift by the shackle pin dropping out.
It is evident by this invented Shackle that the smaller shackle (C) must be within
the larger (A) for the main pin (D) to drop out, and when in use this position could
not be save by manipulation. The chain acting as an effective hindrance, there is no
need of forelock to keep the main pin in place, and this double shackle combines the
utmost simplicity with absolute sureness.

page_text: An Improved Shackle.
I, ABRAHAM MARTIN Harbour Muster, St. Peters Port, No. 1 Ampthill Place, Victoria
Road, Guernsey, 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 Shackle applicable to all cases where it is
desired to connect chain cables with ships anchors, mooring buoys, buoys for marking
fairway channels, buoying ends of Telegraph cables at sea, for topsail and topgallant
sheets, or connecting two or more lengths of chain of any size, for steering gear from
a steamers bridge where more than one length of chain or wire rope is used-The
Shackle may also be used for coupling Railway carriages, trucks and waggons. This
Improved Shackle which may be called "self-locking" requires neither head or fore-
lock to the pin, and is a double shackle, the iron being of equal strength in both.
Referring to drawings lodged with my Provisional Specification it will be seen
that when in use it is absolutely impossible for the pin to work or fall out-To insert
or withdraw the pin or bolt D the smaller shackle C must be placed inside the larger
one A, the two appearing as B.
After the pin or bolt D is in its place the smaller shackle C falls of its own weight
and the shackles becomes self-locked, the pin or bolt D being keyed at either end and
in the centre nothing can displace it.
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,
Firstly that this shackle can be used without head or forelock to pin or bolt.
Secondly that no thread is required at end of pin or bolt to secure it in shackle by
screwing.
Thirdly the keying of bolt or pin renders security absolutely certain and beyond
possibility of accident and
Lastly that the system of keying pins or bolts is my sole right.

Engineer, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved lid for Barrels and other vessels or receptacles
and principally to such as are destined to hold and preserve animal and vegetable
food or liquids of a perishable nature under pressure or otherwise.
For this purpose I construct a lid or closing apparatus which is acted upon by
pressure from below and from inside the Barrel in the manner explained by the
following specification and accompanying drawings; of these drawings
Fig. 1, represents Section of Lid and Top of Barrel.
Fig. 2 & 3 represent Sections of Barrel and Lid on Lines A-B & C-D.
Fig. 4 & 5 are views of Lid as seen from top and from below.
The top or neck of Barrel A is formed of a strong metallic flange piece A a which
at its lower part carries projections a a; Into this flange piece A a the Lid or closing
apparatus B is screwed as shown at f, and by means of handle k; underneath screw
thread and exactly centrical to the same, a grove or mould is provided between
flange piece A a and Lid B, for the reception of an elastic Ring, G which ring is
shaped as shown and rests with one of its flanges gg on projections a a, whilst its
other flange touches the lower part of Lid B and its hood screw joint f.
After filling the barrel the elastic ring is inserted and made to rest with its outer
flange on projections a a; the Lid B is then securely screwed down by means of
handle or otherwise and pressure is applied to the interior of the barrel through
one of the valves (i) in the Lid; this pressure enters from below into the hollow of

page_text: the elastic ring G pressing simultaneously its hood against screw joint and its sides
and flanges g g against Lid B and Barrel neck A a thus forming by increased inside
pressure an absolutely secure and tight joint.
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. The construction (and application) of a Lid or apparatus for closing Barrels
and other receptacles substantially as herein described.
2. The construction and application of elastic rings for the purpose of closing
Barrels and other receptacles and retaining pressure therein or otherwise substantially
as herein described.

page_text: I, ROBERT ARTHUR HALL, of Musters, Road West Bridgford in the county of
Nottingham, Commission Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my invention, to
be as follows:-
At present public urinals are an eyesore caused by the advertising in the interior,
by obscene bills being pasted upon the walls or panels, and also by the bills posted
on the exterior walls or panels becoming dirty and torn.
To obviate which I propose to utilize all kinds of urinals in the following
manner, upon each flat or other shaped member of the walls, framing, or panels
of which the urinal is constructed, I either cause advertisements to be painted
upon the interior and exterior, or I secure upon such parts or substitute for the
plain panels thereof, metal enamelled advertising tablets each forming an advertise-
ment of a very permanent and ornamental character.
By such means the urinals may be made not only ornamental but profitable.

Advertising Purposes.
I, ROBERT ARTHUR HALL, of Musters Road West Bridgford in the county of
Nottingham, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement!-

page_text: At present public urinals are an eyesore and a nuisance productive of evil caused
by writing upon the walls, and by the advertising in the interior, by obscene bills
being pasted upon the walls or pannels, and also by the bills posted on the exterior
walls or panels, becoming dirty and torn. To obviate which I propose to utilize all
kinds of urinals in the following manner.
Upon each flat or other shaped member of the walls, or outer screen, framing or
panels A of which the urinal is constructed, I either cause advertisements to be
painted upon the interior B and exterior C shown at Figure 1, or I secure upon
such parts, or substitute for the plain panels thereof, metal enamelled advertising
tablets, or tablets of other suitable material, each forming an advertisement of a
very permanent and ornamental character.
The interior of the wall screen or panels D shown at Figure 2 nearest to the
stalls I divide into three or more parts vertically, and cause the lower part or parts
to be coloured so as to form or appear to form a dado, or base portion, and leave
the lower part without advertisements the upper part I provide with advertis-
ments as before described.
The interior of the roof upon each flat or other shaped member E and upon each
side of each stall in the upper part F above the basin or trough I also provide with
advertisements as before described.
By such means urinals may be made not only ornamental, and useful, but
profitable.
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 :-
The improvements in urinals substantially as described and illustrated in the
Drawings annexed.
Dated this eighteenth day of November 1886.

page_text: I, JOHN WARD JONES of 152 Shoreditch High Street in the County of Mid-
dlesex Boot and Shoe Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the arrangement construction and application of soles to
boots and shoes by which the soles can be readily removed and replaced by the
wearer or other person when required.
For this purpose after the boot or shoe is lasted a series of metal strips are
riveted to the underside of the upper and inner sole the inner edge of the strip
or strips around the front part (to the joint) being fixed by the rivets and the
outer edge of the strips from the joint to the waist being also fixed to the upper
and insole.
Thus the outer edges of the strips from the toe to the joint are free and open
whilst the inner edges of the strips from the joint to the waist are free and open
so that the free or open edges of the corresponding metal strips fixed on the sole
(to be applied thereto) can be readily slid under the free edges of the strips fixed on
the upper and insole so as to interlock and secure the outersole to the upper. The
inner and outer soles thus combined are secured together at the waist by screws or
otherwise so that they can be readily separated and renewed when required.
I find it advantageous to make the waist of sheet metal although I do not
confine myself thereto.
The arrangement and application of the metal strips on the inner and outer soles
may be varied.

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. The improved manufacture of boots and shoes by forming the sole separate
from the upper and combining and securing the two parts together substantially in.
the manner herein before described and illustrated by the drawings hereto annexed.
2. The improved method of securing the sole b to the upper a by means of
the strips a and b so that they can be separated and a new sole substituted for
the old one substantially as shown and described.

the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I construct the box of two flat pieces of board of any thickness, hinged together
with any flexible material, or of board with double scorings down the centre, thus
making a hinge, so that when open the two halves lie flat, The sides of the box
consist of a ring cut out of solid board which is fastened by glue or otherwise to
the half of the above board which forms the bottom of the box. The ring of board
may be severed to the extent of half an inch or more to enable the contents to be
extracted easily, and the ring may be of any shape and of any width and thickness,
the most usual width and thickness would be from "x" to "x" This ring
being solid forms a very firm support for the top and bottom of the box and thus
ensures a complete protection to the contents.
These boxes are more especially intended for packing and protecting single cards,
either Christmas Cards, Photographs or any similar cards, They are also eminently
suitable for packing & protecting all kinds of tablets, of china, porcelain, glass or
any other brittle substance.
By board in the foregoing specification is meant all kinds of cardboard, wood-
board, strawboard, or kindred substances.

WILLIAM MADGE of Pains Road St Peters Park Millwright and JAMES THOMAS
FORD of No 6 Outram Road Havelock Park Engineer both of Southsea do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN OPENING AND SHUTTING
WATERTIGHT DOORS to be as follows and in what manner the same is to be
performed; to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
To provide a speedy and ready means of closing any one or the whole of the
Sliding Doors in a Ship in the event of collision or other calamity by placing at
the command of any responsible person on board appliances for the above purpose
as soon as an accident may happen.
This is accomplished by an arrangement (Hydraulic) i.e. a cylinder fixed to the
bulkhead with the Ram fixed to the Door connected to an accumulator or pump
by means of pipes and a Relief Valve. The valves can be tixed in any place in
the ship when more than one is required and are so arranged by means of a hand
lever to open or close in a moment.
The valve is a spindle coned at one or both ends grooved at a given distance
from the ends and is so arranged double or single acting that when the one end in
the double acting valve is closed for pressure which passes through the groove the
other end or valve being open permits the liquid or air whichever may be used to
pass off through the exhaust into a receiving tank at the same time cutting off the
pressure from that end.
The single acting valve is used only when the weight of the door is suspended
as when open for exhaust the door shuts by its own weight.
