Chairs and the like.
I, GUSTAV TÜSCHEL, of No. 28, House Portnikoff, Resnitzneia Ulitza, Odessa,
Russia, Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement: —
The object of the present invention is the renovation, of the cane bottoms of
old chairs or other objects in such a way that in appearance and colour a new
bottom is produced.
The process consists in the preparation of a colouring fluid approximately in the
following proportions;
1000 grammes of chemically pure white lead and 28 grammes of light French
ochre stirred into a white varnish which consists of
500 grammes 96 per cent spirits of wine.
500

"
"
hard Manila copal.
Venetian turpentine.
sulphuric ether.
This coloured varnish is applied with a brush or other suitable tool three times
to the old cane bottom, and produces as soon as the varnish is dry (in about five
minutes) the appearance of a perfectly new article.
This process has the especial advantage that the varnish so adheres to the
cane that no cracks appear and the varnish does not crack off on brushing or wash-
ing the cane, moreover the cane already pressed or bent down is stretched tight
again by this treatment.
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. Process for varnishing and renovating old cane on chair-seats and the like,
by mixing solid colours in the proportions of about 1000 grammes of chemically
pure white lead, and about 28 grammes of light coloured French ochre with a
white varnish composed of

Improved Treatment of Alcoholic Spirit.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, THOMAS MACALPINE, of 22, Sutton Court Road, Chiswick, Middlesex, Doctor
of Science, Consulting and Research Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the use of a preparation of manganese, preferably
in as fine a state of division as possible, for the purification and maturing of
alcohol or alcoholic spirit.
I have discovered that when a preparation of manganese (in a fine state of
division for the best results) is shaken up with alcoholic spirit, it acts upon new
made or common spirit in such a manner that on redistillation a pure spirit free
from fusel oil and other usual impurities is readily obtained. Or in place of
agitating together the spirit and manganese they may be mixed and heated
together, and the pure spirit afterwards obtained by distillation.
I prefer to use an acetylene preparation of manganese. The action of the
manganese may be improved by the addition of a slight quantity of diluted acid,
preferably sulphuric acid.
Dated this 16th day of February 1899.

and a perforated gallery placed upon the dome near its base. Upon rotating
half a lemon upon the dome, the juice, seeds and pieces of pulp fall into the
gallery where the pulp and seeds are retained, while the juice passes through
the perforations into the receptacle; then the gallery is lifted off and the seeds
&c. shaken out.

threads having been used for the fastening up of the leads of gas meters, elec-
tricity meters, sacks, miners' lamps, and other purposes where it is desirable to
guard against openings being effected. The object of the invention is to obtain
great power in as small a compass as possible, so that the lead seal may be
thoroughly squeezed around the tied up thread.
In order to more particularly describe our invention we will now refer to the
accompanying drawing which shows a side elevation of the tool.

Improvements in Envelopes for Advertising Purposes.
We, VICTOR LANGLOIS DU FEU, Retired Cavalry Officer, and JOSÉ DE ZULUETA
FERNANDEZ, Agent, both of 14, Rue de Fetuan, Madrid, in the Kingdom of Spain,
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 the manufacture of postal envelopes of special form,
of which the inside and outside surfaces with the exception of the part intended
for the address, are used for advertisements.
Our envelope for advertisements is formed from a leaf of white or coloured
paper, which is, when opened out, in the form of an elongated rectangle. In
order to close it, it is folded into three equal parts, which present six faces.
One of these is reserved for the address and for the postage stamp, which can
be impressed directly on this face in accordance with the postal regulations of
the country, or can more simply be made to adhere.
The five remaining faces, either divided or not divided, into spaces or columus,
are for the insertion of advertisements by printing, lithography, photogravure
or by any other similar and suitable process.
The edges of the two upper folds or leaves form two gummed borders which
serve to close the envelope and which can be torn off along a perforated line
for opening.
The envelope may be provided with other means for sealing up, while pre-
serving the same form and manner of folding, such as by borders folded back
and gummed or by any other suitable arrangement.
Under these conditions, our advertising envelopes while being an excellent
means of advertising, reduce the price of stamped envelopes which is a benefit to
the public in general as well as to the advertiser.
It is evident that these envelopes may be made of any size and of any kind of
paper, cloth or parchment or of any other suitable material.
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:
An advertising postal envelope formed from a sheet of paper or of any other
suitable material, folded in three parts presenting six faces, five of which carry
advertisements, the sixth being reserved to receive the name and address of the
addressee as well as the postage stamp, said sheet when properly folded being
adapted to be sealed, by lateral borders perforated and gummed or by any other
suitable means, substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Dynamo and other Magnet Coils.
I, HARDMAN ARTHUR EARLE, of Salford Iron Works, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to coils for dynamo and other magnets and is especially
applicable to series windings for compound wound dynamos.
In all large machines that have series wound magnets there is generally a
great difficulty and risk in getting the end of the layer of winding nearest the
magnet to the outside of the coil. In order to avoid this difficulty the winding is
formed as shewn in side view Fig. 1 and in perspective Fig. 2 of the accompanying
drawing.
These figures for the sake of clearness shew only one convolution of each
winding.
a is part of the one winding of which there may be any number of convolutions
having at their side the other winding b of which there may also be any number
of convolutions. The innermost convolutions of both windings are connected
by a conducting piece cat right angles, this piece being of such length as to make
the plane in which the convolutions bare wound at the side of the plane of the
convolutions a so that the outer ends d and e of both windings present themselves
at the outside.
In the drawing the winding is shewn as being of ribbon the convolutions of
which are insulated from one another.
When wire is employed, the planes of the two windings are separated in the
same way the length of the separating piece e being equivalent to the diameter of
the wire.
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:-
In winding a magnet with two coils giving the same polarity connecting the
innermost convolutions of each of the two windings by a conducting piece by

An Improved Cream for Obtaining Silver Coating on Metals.
We, DR. CHRISTIAN GÖTTIG, Professor, and WALTHER KÖTTGEN, Merchant,
both of 11, Ludwigs Kirchplatz, Wilmersdorf, near Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
All preparations hitherto used for the above-mentioned purpose and applied
by dipping or rubbing, lack perfection in that they contain poisonous ingredients,
as cyanide of potassium, mercury or ammonia, which corrode the metal that is
to be coated. Others, containing chlorides of the alkalies as aids to dissolve the
chloride of silver, lose much of their activity because it is only in the white un-
altered state that silver chloride is soluble to any great extent with the aid of
the aforesaid salts. In order to remedy these defects, we have compounded a set
of preparations that are permanent and very active agents for coating by adding
substances that liberate chlorine and by so doing preserve the silver chloride,
such substances are the perchlorides of iron and tin, or other compounds con-
taining these, with or without a further addition of chalk, alumina, or salam-
moniac as cleaners.

We, DR. CHRISTIAN GÖTTIG, Professor, and WALTHER KÖTTGEN, Merchant,
both of 11, Ludwigs Kirchplatz, Wilmersdorf, near Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 mixture for silvering certain metals, notably copper
and copper alloys, by application to the surface of such metals.
The mixture consists of silver chloride, salts which dissolve silver chloride and
chlorides which are capable of parting with their chlorine or yielding hydro-
chloric acid. Such chlorides are ferric chloride, cupric chloride, stannic chloride,
aluminium chloride and the like, and one among several good effects which they
have in the mixture is the maintenance of the activity of the silver chloride.
Instead of these metallic chlorides themselves, compounds of them such as double

When a light has been applied pull down blower F which automatically opens
damper H giving a straight and fierce draught to chimney direct; when fire has
thoroughly kindled close ashpan and push up blower this closes damper and causes
all the products of combustion to pass through bottom grate and back flue before
entering chimney thus consuming all smoke.
ADVANTAGES.
Complete combustion and smoke consumption and by closing blower at night
preventing cinders and sparkes entering the room and causing fire.
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 the Method of and Appliances for Supplying Cold
Water to Steam Boilers.
We, HENRY VAUGHAN, of Hathersage, in the County of Derby, Engine Tenter,
and HERBERT FOWLER, of Thornhill Lane, Hope, County of Derby, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of our invention to be as follows:
Our invention relates to the method of, and the means for, supplying cold feed
water to steam boilers, with the object of producing the least chilling effect or
reduction of temperature within the boiler, and without interfering with the shell
of the boiler, beyond what is usual.
The feed pipe from the punip is passed through the front plate as usual, and
is continued down the side to the end or thereabouts by preference, it is then
passed over the flues and may rest upon them for support; it is then carried up
the other side of the boiler to a suitable distance, again passing over and resting
upon one flue, and is carried down the centre of the boiler to any desired position,
where it is supported by a cross stay or bar resting upon both flues.
Connected with this end of the pipe is a valve box and ball valve, the valve box
being, perforated so as to distribute the water in a number of jets, or a separate
distributing, chamber may be used for the same purpose.
Although the foregoing description relates to the invention as applied to a
double flue boiler it must be understood that it can also be aplied to those with
a single flue, and to other like boilers, also that various modifications in the
details may be made in the valve box and the distributer, which in some cases
may be dispensed with, also that the feed pipe may be of different metals to suit
the character of the water.

Improvements in Straight Bar Knitting Machines.
I, JOSEPH WALKER, of the Firm of William Walker and Sons, Limited, Crocus
Street, Nottingham, and Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Hosiery Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
The needles in a straight bar knitting machine, are formed with a rise at
the back of the needle eye, and in the spaces between the needles the usual knock-
ing over bits have each an extra hook at the outer end. By which means the
loops are kept under the beards of the needles when narrowing and widening in
knitting seamless heel and toe fabrics.

I, JOSEPH WALKER, of the Firm of William Walker and Sons, Limited, Crocus
Street, Nottingham, and Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Hosiery Manufacturers, 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:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a right side view of the relative positions of the needles, sinkers
and knocking over bits, after the loops are made.
Figure 2 shows a right side view of the relative positions of the needles,
sinkers, and knocking over bits, when the needles are drawn to place the loops
under the needle beards.
The needles 1 in a straight bar knitting machine are formed with a rise 1 at
the back of the needle eye. And in the spaces between the needles the usual
knocking over bits have each an extra hook 3 at the outer end and operate as
follows:-
The sinkers 2 having formed the loops 4, the needles are drawn down through
the sinkers, the rise 1 on the back of the needles drawing the loops on to the stem
of the needles on the eye side, as shown at Figure 1, and as the needles are
drawn down, the extra hooks 3 of the knocking over bits move slightly to the
front of the machine, rising at the same time into the position shown at Figure 2
to hold the loops onto the stems of the needles, thus preventing the loops from
getting over the beards of the needles as they are drawn to their lowest position

page_text: to be pressed, and complete the course as the loops are knocked over the heads
of the needles in the usual way, thus ensuring the loops being kept under the
beards of the needles at each narrowing or widening of the knitted seamless
heel and toe fabrics 5 when the rise on the back of the needle eye is operating in
conjunction with the extra hook on the outer end of the knocking over bits. Or
either of them may be employed without the other to effect the same purpose.
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 construction and employment in straight bar knitting machines, of needles
each having a rise 1^ at the back of the eye, and knocking over bits each having
an extra hook 3 at the outer end for the purpose specified, substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
