wire. The mould is ten inches square, one inch deep. It is made of coach iron, and
fastened at one corner by a button, and can be opened in a second, should the clay
hold in. When the mould is lifted the clay is seen resting upon an inch board which
is resting upon packing. The board with the clay upon it is then put between two
rails of inch board 2 inches deep and stamped with a beaded board which I call a
budworth, then it is passed along under a roller of circular knives, which is carried
by the rails and which I call the narrow kempin, then at right angles under another
roller of circular knives, which I call the broad kempin. The clay is now cut into one
hundred bricks, which are dried and burnt as ordinary bricks, and some are dipped
in dye when cold, and dried again, and packed in cardboard boxes containing
100 bricks.

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 :-
The use and application of an electric spark, produced by statical electricity
especially from the influence, or Wimshurst-influence electric machine, for igniting
the charge, in gas, petroleum, oil or combustible vapour-motor-engines, and for this
purpose, use a small influence electric machine, fixed on any suitable part of the
engine it has to serve, or detached if preferred, and driven by a small, or light band
therefrom. From this electric machine, conducting wires or leads are led to a cell
or chamber in communication with the motor cylinder, so that a continuous stream of
sparks are given from one to the other of the terminals of the conductors, inside the
cell or chamber, and the communication from this chamber to inside of cylinder, is
opened and closed at the proper moment for the ignition of the charge, by a valve
wrought by any suitable mechanism on the motor itself.
I also arrange the driving band that it shall be sufficiently light and loose, s0
that the electric machine can be easily be turned by hand without detaching it, thus
the electric machine may also be used as a starter, by giving the first ignition by
hand after the cylinder has been charged with combustible mixture.
The whole apparatus is enclosed in a metallic casing, so as to be kept free from
damp, and from being damaged, this casing is also provided with suitable means of
being slightly warmed on the outside, so as to drive off any damp air, which
may have accumulated while the machine has been out of use some considerable
time.
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 use and application of the influence electric machine for igniting the
charge in gas, petroleum, oil, or combustible vapour-motor engines
2. The use of the said influence electric machine, as a starter for such motor
engines.

A communication from abroad by JOHN STEWART DRURIE, of Ottawa, Canada,
Bookseller.
I, JOHN WALKER of the firm of John Walker and Company of Farringdon House,
Warwick Lane in the City of London, Wholesale Stationers 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 device for moistening or damping postage stamps,
envelope flaps or other articles. The said device is composed of a tubular water
reservoir closed at the one end and open at the other, of a holder for sponge or other
suitable absorbent material, which holder fits on to the open end of the tubular water
reservoir, and of a cap fitting the outer end of the said holder so as to cover the
sponge or absorbent material when not in use.
Figure 1 of the annexed drawings is an elevation of the device showing it closed
as when not in use; Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same with the cap
removed and Figure 3 is a section of the cap. a is the tubular water reservoir closed
at the end b. c is the holder for the absorbent material which is preferably a piece
of sponge d. This holder fits over the open end of the reservoir a as shown, its
position being determined by the shoulder e. Within the holder is another
shoulder which retains the sponge d in place. The sponge is inserted into the
holder so as to project beyond the same as shown. 9 is the cap which, when the
device is not in use is placed upon the holder c so as to cover and protect the sponge.
There is an air hole h in the cap which prevents any liability of the water to ooze out
between the cap and the holder while the cap is being drawn off. It will be readily
understood that the water in the reservoir a will keep the sponge wet and that when
the cap is removed the projecting part of the sponge can be readily used to moisten
or damp postage stamps, envelope flaps or other articles by being simply rubbed
over them.
I have shown the reservoir a, holder c and cap g as being plain or unthreaded at
the parts where they fit each other, but it is obvious that these parts may be screw
threaded as shown in Figures 4 and 5; also that the holder c may be made to fit
inside instead of outside the reservoir a.
If desired the end b of the reservoir may be formed to hold a pen or pencil or a
piece of india rubber.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me and in what manner the same is to be performed I
declare that what I claim is
A device comprising a water reservoir, a piece of sponge or absorbent material, a
holder for said sponge, and a cap, substantially as herein before described, for
moistening or damping postage stamps, envelope flaps, or other articles.

I, HERRMANN KRAMMER, of 29 Lövengasse, Vienna, in the Empire of Austria,
Trunk Maker, 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 material which is designed for use in the manufacture
of trunks, hat boxes and other articles.
The material produced according to the said invention consists of several layers
of woven fabric and wood which, are glued one upon the other. It can be produced
either of flat shape or upon forms.
The accompanying drawing shows the manufacture of a hollow body according to
the aforesaid invention.
Upon a suitable form a is first stretched a woven fabric b, such as for example
coarse linen (Figure 1). A layer of wood shavings c is then glued upon the woven
fabric (Figure 2). After this operation a second layer of wood shavings c¹ is glued
upon the first layer but transversely to the latter (Figure 3). Linen b¹ is now glewed
on to form the fourth layer. Upon this layer is placed a third layer of wood
shavings in one direction (Figure 5) and then a fourth layer of wood shavings in
another direction (Figure 6).
In this manner further layers of linen and wood shavings can be applied until the
desired thickness is obtained.
Finally the finished product may be covered with any suitable material, such as
leather or the like.
The improved material made as above described can be used for all kinds of articles,
[Price 6d.

Improvements in Coat-springs.

Improvements in Coat-springs.
I, WILLIAM WILLERINGHAUS, of 13, Hamsell Street, in the city of London,
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 relates to improvements in what are known as coat-springs, that is
to say, springs adapted to be placed in the collars of coats and under the lapels for
the purpose of keeping the neck part of the coat closed and the lapels in position ;
and my improvements consist in making the said coat-springs extensible so as to
enable them to be used with different coats, that is to say, with coats having large or
small lapels.
In carrying out my invention I employ a coat-spring of the ordinary construction
but I apply to the ends thereof tubular or other pieces adapted to slide over or on the
ends of the spring, for the purpose of extending those parts of the spring which pass
under the coat lapels.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 illustrates a coat-spring formed with extensible ends in accordance
with my improvements.
Figure 2 is a section on the line a, b of Figure 1. but drawn to a larger scale.
a represents a coat-spring of ordinary construction, made of flat steel, b, 6 are the
tubular pieces which apply to the ends of the spring, the said tubular pieces being
advantageously slotted as at c and d, d are pins entering the said slots and serving
as stops for limiting the play of the tubular extending pieces.
With this arrangement, if the tubular end pieces are moved over the ends of
the spring, the spring can be used for a coat with small lapels; if, however, the
spring is used with a coat with larger lapels, the tubular ends b, b can be moved
outwards, as shewn by dotted lines.
Although I have described the use of tubular end pieces to attain my object, it
will be understood that flat extending pieces, suitably connected to the spring so as

Improved Corrugated Drums Applicable for Actuating the
Condenser-bobbins of Carders, Self-acting Mules, and other
similar Machines.
I. JOHN WILLIAM OLDROYD, of the Town of Grünberg, Silesia, in the German
Empire, 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 has for its object a peculiar and novel construction of the so-called
surface drums which serve to actuate by, frictional contact, the condenser-bobbins of
carders, self-acting mules and other similar machines.
The drums used in this class of machines have hitherto been constructed with a
smooth or plain surface only, which frequently causes an irregular driving and
slipping of the condenser bobbins, so that it is almost impossible to produce a regular
and equable spinning.
According to my invention the driving drums are provided with corrugated
surfaces whereby not only the aforementioned disadvantage is overcome, but also
all slipping of the condenser bobbin effectually prevented, a much more even
spinning is secured and the drums are stronger and more durable than the smooth
surfaced ones hitherto in use, thus avoiding the great liability to bulge and break,
and permitting the use of weaker and lighter metal for constructing the said
drums.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of the improved corrugated surface drum.
Figure 2 a vertical section, and
Figure 3 a cross section thereof, representing the ring-shaped corrugations
arranged vertically to the longitudinal axis of the roller or drum.
Figure 4 shows a roller or drum provided with spiral corrugations.
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 carders, self-acting mules and other similar spinning machines, the use of
corrugated surface drums for actuating the condenser bobbins, substantially for
the purpose set forth of securing a regular driving medium, strengthening the said
drums and avoiding their liability to bulge and break.

Improvement in Walking and Umbrella Sticks.
I JOHANN HEINRICH GRELL senior, Manufacturer of Hamburg in the Free State
of Hamburg and German Empire 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 improvement in walking and umbrella sticks and
consists in substituting for the ordinary iron tip (ferrule) at the lower end of the
stick a rubber plug thus preventing the slipping of the stick or umbrella when used
as a walking-stick.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 shows
an elevation and Figs. 2 and 3 vertical sections drawn to an enlarged scale.
At the lower end of the stick a is fitted a brass sleeve in which a rubber,
caoutchouc or other suitable elastic plug e is secured.
The plug may be secured in various ways either by the insertion of pins d or by
inwardly projecting serrations or points c struck from the sleeve as shewn in
Fig. 2.
In order to better secure the plug from slipping out the points c may be turned
upwards. As shewn in Fig. 3 a screw f may be used for fixing the plug or any
other convenient means may be employed.
When the stick fitted according to this invention is placed against a wall or the
like the rubber plug at the bottom prevents its slipping.
Such sticks or umbrellas will also afford better support to the user when bearing
upon same.
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 1
claim is
A metal ferrule for walking and umbrella sticks provided with a plug of rubber
caoutchouc or other elastic material suitably secured substantially as described and
shown in the drawings.

An Improved Mode of Securing the Capsules of Pots and other
Vessels Containing Preserved Food.
We ANDREW BALLANTYNE OVENS of 30 Farringdon Street in the City of London,
Chemist and BOVRIL LIMITED a Company whose registered address is 30 Farringdon
Street aforesaid, 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 the attachment of metallic capsules employed for covering
pots and bottles containing preserved foods, such as extract of meat and the like, with
the view of better ensuring an air-tight closing of the said vessel.
According to this invention, the outside of the pot, near the rim, is recessed or
grooved, and therein is laid an india rubber or other elastic ring. The metallic
capsule is forced over the vessel's mouth in the ordinary way, and pressed down
upon the rubber ring, thereby making a practically air-tight cover to the pot.
In the accompanying drawing,-
Fig. 1 is an outside view of a pot closed according to my invention.-Fig. 2 is a
vertical section.
a is the rubber ring, 6 the recess, and c the metallic capsule. d is a cork, which
has no reference to the invention.
The recess is not necessarily of the form shown, but is moulded or cut to suit
varying circumstances; or the elastic ring may sometimes be laid upon the plain
side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The employment of an elastic ring lying around the outside of a pot or similar
vessel, in combination with a metallic capsule, in the manner shown and described,
for the better ensuring an airtight closing of the vessel.

An Improved Scarf-holder or Frame.
I HUGH COMYN CLANAHAN of 88 King Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Chemical Merchant 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 contrivance is to assist the wearer in making what is known as
the "Ascot" or cross-over knot, and to keep the knot in form when made; it may
also be used for making up the same knot or neck tie for sale.
The nature of my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be per-
formed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the
illustrative drawing hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. on the drawing shows the form or construction of the improved scarf holder
which consists principally of a form or frame a of wire or other suitable light.
material, provided with two or more hooks b or needle points to support the scarf in
the desired folds.
The hooks or needle points may in some cases be dispensed with.
The frame a is made in a trapezoidal form the base being raised or cranked
upwards so as to bring the central part ax, nearer to the flattened apex, and soldered
or otherwise fixed to the cross piece c which strengthens the frame.
The hooks (or needle points) are attached in suitable positions to hold the tie in
the desired shape, and the whole is so contrived as to be concealed from view when
worn.
The scarf-holder is used as follows:
The scarf is first simply knotted round the narrow part of the holder as shown at
Fig. 2. Or the holder may be pushed into position after the usual double knot has
been tied.
The ends of the scarf are then folded over the sloping sides of the frame so as to
form the desired knot as shown at Fig. 3. the back part of the scarf being passed
over the hooks or pins so as to hold in form and the front may be secured by a
scarf pin in the usual manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed or carried into practical
effect I declare that what I claim as my invention is :-
The construction and use of a scarf holder of wire or other light material
substantially in the manner herein before particularly described and represented by
the drawings annexed.

ALFRED WILLIAM MITCHELL 3 Prospect Terrace St. Johns Road Chelmsford
Clerk of Works, 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 flange end of pipe is constructed with a groove for the reception of a tongue
which is formed on the spigot end of pipe & the joint is made perfectly air & water
tight by filling the groove with soft cement & then simply inserting the tongued end
of the pipe into the groove of flanged end with a turn, the pipe will then be brought
into its proper position.
The groove in the flange end of pipe has the outer shoulder of greater length
than the inner one and the groove is bevelled on the inner side, the object of this
bevelled groove being that when the tongue is pushed into the groove sufficiently to
come in contact with the bevelled side, the pipe shall be exactly level in the
tube thus making automatically a perfectly solid & even joint, the superfluous
cement on the inside of pipe being taken off with a swab in the usual way.
Having now described & ascertained the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is,
1st. The extreme simplicity with which a perfectly sound joint is made and the
inside of tubes kept perfectly level by the bevelled side of groove being so constructed
as to effect this.
2nd. The outer shoulder of groove being of greater length than the inner one
gives greater strength than is to be found in any other joint.
3rd. The great advantage it possesses over other patent joints of not requiring
clay or other substance beyond ordinary cement & no external flanching of joint.
