Improvements in the Means for Preventing and Removing
Incrustations in or from Steam Generators.
I, KARL ZIMMERMANN of 539 Stadtmühlgasse Weissenburg a/S in the German
Empire, 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 :-
This invention relates to a means for preventing and removing the incrustations
or like deposits in or from steam generators in a simple cheap and efficient manner
without any risk of corroding or otherwise injuring the plates of the shell.
In carrying this invention into effect a solution is formed in boiling water of
about equal parts of soda and powdered alum, the preferred way of forming the
solution being to first dissolve the powdered alum and then add the soda.
This solution may be employed either to dissolve existing incrustations or to
prevent their formation. Being liquid it is easily pumped into the generator either
alone or in combination with the feed water.
The quantity of solution employed depends upon the nature of the water used in
the generator.
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 preparation for preventing and removing incrustations in or from steam
generators, consisting of a solution of about equal parts of soda and powdered.
alum, substantially as herein before described.

An Improvement in Barrels for Shot Guns
I, Dr FRANZ TITTMANN, of Podersam, Bohemia, Advocate, 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 a construction of the bariels of shot guns in such a manner
as to prevent or diminish the dispersion of the shot as they are leaving the muzzle
Such dispersion is owing to the fact that when the front portion of the column of
shot is just beyond the muzzle no longer literally restrained by the barrel, and
being retarded by mecting the aut, the other portion of the column which is still
within the bariel is being pressed forward into the front portion causing it to
spread laterally In order to provide against this, I make an opening or several
openings through the wall of the barrel at some distance from the muzzle so as to
form an outlet for the powder gas and relieve its pressure while the column of shot
15 Issuing from the muzzle
Fig 1 of the accompanying drawings shews the muzzle portion of a double
barrel with openings a separate for each bariel
Fig 2, in which one of the barrels appears in section, shews an elongated
a¹ common to both barrels As shewn in perspective in Fig 3 and in
opening
plan Fig 34 the barrels are formed with projecting tubular portions beach
communicating by a slit with the interior
As shewn in Fig 4, the projecting tubular portion c communicates with the
interior of the barrel by an opening c¹ at its bottom
The position and area of the openings necessarily vary with the dimensions and
character of the barrel to which they are applied
As an example, a barrel having a calibre about inch may with advantage have
an outlet about inch in diameter at about 2 inches from the muzzles
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inYOD-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
-
A barrel for a shot gun having an outlet by which the pressure of the powder
gas is relieved as the column of shot begins to issue from the muzzle, substantially
as and for the purpose set forth

Improved Apparatus for Ruling Straight Lines.
I, FRANZ AUGUST JULIUS MUNDT, Junior, Merchant, of No. 20 Iago Strasse,
Berlin, 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 :-
The present invention consists of a ruling apparatus particularly designed for
ruling lines without smearing the paper.
The apparatus consists of an inking pad having a ruling roll running therein and
being guided longitudinally on a straight edge.
And in order to render the present Specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters denote similar parts.
throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 being a plan of the device,
Fig. 2 an end elevation, and
Fig. 3 a modified form.
To the straight edge a are attached one or two tubes bb along the centre of the
said straight edge, said tubes being slotted longitudinally throughout their length or
nearly so and at opposite sides one to the other. Within each of the tubes is guided
a bolt having a stem extending through the slot of the tube and carrying at its
outward end an inking pad e arranged in a suitable casing, and below the same a
marking roll d' mounted in the end of the said stem and extending at its upper half
into the inking pad, as clearly shown at Fig. 3. The stem is further provided with
a knob by means of which it may be taken hold of and a drag spring d which
presses on the upper surface of the straight edge and normally holds the roll d¹ out
of engagement with the paper to be ruled, until a pressure sufficiently strong to.
overcome the pressure of the said spring is put upon the knob f.

with its stem and inking roll slid along the tube b by means of the knob f.
The apparatus may be made in the form of a double ruler as shown at Figs. 1
and 2, or a single one as shown at Fig. 3 in which latter case only one tube and bolt
are necessary.
In Fig. 3 the inking case having pad e is shown open.
The rolls may be formed to rule two or more lines instead of one only, if found
desirable.
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 ruling device consisting of a straight edge having slotted guide tube or tubes
thereon and an inking roll or rolls each having suitable pad in which its upper part
runs and being guided in said tube substantially as described.

I, CARL
HEINRICH LANGE, Manufacturer of Cardboard Articles, of
195 Fleischgasse, Tetschen, Bohemia, in the Empire of Austria, 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 produce a material highly fitted to serve as an
insertion, inner sole or sole lining for shoes and boots of all kinds, it being a bad
heat conductor, thinner than any other material used for the same purpose and
having great durability.
Such inserted sole is made or cut out of this new material and is shown in the
annexed drawing, in which :-
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the sole partially broken away and
Fig. 2 a longitudinal section thereof.
The material is composed of three layers A, B, C, of which the two outer⠀
ones A, B, consist of cellulose-paste-board (pure paste board of bleached.or natural
coloured cellulose, as already produced and known in commerce). The inter-..
mediate layer C consists of a woven fabric of flax, linen or cotton, which may
be either a compact fabric such as ordinary linen or as shown in Fig. 1 of the
annexed drawing, it may be cellular or reticulated such as canvas as used for
wool-work or similar purposes:
In Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing the upper cellulose layer is partially removed
in order to show the middle layer.
The connection of the three layers may be done directly where the cellulose--
paste-board is made, by inserting the fabric between two moist sheets of cellulose-
and subsequently pressing them firmly together or the intermediate or fabric
layer may be placed between the outer layers after the latter have first been
provided with a coating of any adhesive material, the three component parts being
then pressed together.
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 :-
A cellulose sheet with an intermediate layer of woven fabric for producing
inserted soles for boots and shoes consisting of two exterior sheets of cellulose-
paste-board, with an interior layer of woven fabric fastened between them,..
substantially as described.

I, PETER HOLZRICHTER, of Haspelstrasse Unterbarmen in the German Empire,
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 :-
The subject of this invention is an improved skate wherein the central lever is-
guided at an angle, so that an adjustment prior to attaching the skate to the
boot or shoe is in no case necessary, and oblique strains from below are avoided.
The construction of the improved skate may be gathered from the accompanying
drawing, being an inverted plan thereof.
Both the heel clamps a and sole-clamps b are connected with the central lever e-
by short connecting or draw rods c and d, and guided by means of a pin or stud
arranged to slide within the slot g provided for the purpose in the sole. A short.
screw passing through a nut to which a connecting link, k, is attached from one
end of the lever e enables pressure to be applied to all the clamps a and b-
simultaneously, upon such screw being caused to revolve by means of an operating:
crank or key.
The advantages, which skates of this construction offer, arise from the fact that
the heel and sole clamps, inasmuch as they are guided straight within the sole of
the skate, can in no event be secured to the boots or shoes in a crooked position, an
inconvenience which is almost unavoidable in all other skate arrangements with side
guides. For the better performance of the object stated the central lever is guided.
separately in an inclined slot. i.
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 ;-
Skates with means for the straight attachment of the same to both the heels and
soles of boots or shoes, which attachment is performed through the pressure--
transmitting agency of a lever operated from the rear by means of a crank.
or key.

An Improved Vaccination Shield.
I, EDWIN SMITH, of Wallace Lodge, Upper Tooting, London, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is an improved vaccination shield, and it consists of a shield of
any desired form, size, and material, which is placed over the vaccinated area
and retained in position by adhesive plaster or similar material; the plaster
either to form a fringe attached to the whole circumference of the shield or to
take the form of strips, two, three, or more in number, fastened at intervals to the
circumference or other convenient part of the shield. By this means the shield
is very easily applied and retained, and accidental shifting of its position is
impossible.

I, EDWIN SMITH, of Wallace Lodge, Upper Tooting, London, Gentleman, 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 is an improved vaccination shield and consists of a shield of
any desired form size and material which is placed over the vaccinated area and
retained in position by adhesive plaster or similar material. The plaster is
conveniently affixed to the shield in the form of strips, each strip being carried
once or more round some point in the circumference of the shield and ending in
a free tail an inch or so in length. The tail of each strip is pressed upon the
skin and the shield thus applied cannot shift its position and any constriction of
the limb, such as occurs when tapes are employed, is avoided. The plaster may be
of any sort and may be affixed in any desired manner. A convenient kind is that
known as "rubber adhesive plaster.'
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 shield for use after vaccination, or for other purposes, in which adhesive
plaster or like material is employed to retain the shield in position.

I CHARLES ARTHUR FITZHERBERT GREGSON, of Ivy Lodge, Hunstanton,
in the County of Norfolk, Civil 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:-
This invention relates to a new or improved hook fitting whereon chiefly
light articles may be readily hung, such for instance as for laundry purposes, shop
window fittings or other similar purposes.
In order to more clearly explain this my invention, I have appended hereunto an
illustrative sheet of drawings upon which are figures and numbers of reference
similar numbers referring throughout the views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a front view of this my improved hook.
Fig. 2, shows the hook as it appears when in position for use.
It consists as follows:-I take a length of wire of any desirable transverse
sectional shape, but generally round with its mid-portion flattened so as to increase
its strength and springiness thereat, and bend it into the shape as shown. This
precise shape however may be modified somewhat so long as it is made to answer
the purpose desired. Its mid-portion is bent at 3, so as to embrace or clip the
clothes line or other similar body 4. The wire is somewhat contracted at 5, so that
it requires to be sprung over the body 4, and thereby ensure its firm attachment, as
seen in Fig. 1. The wire is further shaped at 6, 6, so that it may when desired
embrace a larger body 7, which latter may be of a rectangular, square, round or
other shape. In Fig. 1, the hook is shown in its normal free shape whereby it may
be seen that when passed upon the body 7, as seen in Fig. 2, it shall firmly clip it
and thereby be secure.
The ends of the wire are now further shaped into the
hooks 8, 8.
These hooks are primarily intended for use in laundry work, in which they may
be either attached to a clothes line 4, or attached to the rail 7, of a clothes horse,
which is generally of a rectangular sectional shape as shown, but which sometimes
may be of a round sectional shape.
As thus used these hooks provide a very convenient means for suspending
therefrom collars, cuffs, or other small articles in a much bandier manner than in the
present method of pinning or pegging, and may be further used for other similar
purposes.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The new or improved hook fitting having the clip 3, and side clips 6, 6, and
hooks 8, 8, combined and arranged substantially as set forth and shown.

An Improved Hook.
I, WILLIAM MATTHEW, residing at 29 Cathcart Street, Gorbals, Glasgow, by
occupation a Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A swivel hook for the purpose of preventing the chain from getting detached
accidentally, as is at present the case with other hooks in use.
This invention is a hook connected with harness, and is for the purpose of
preventing the backband or rigwoody chain from detaching itself, while being
jerked through the action of the shafts.
The hook itself is constructed with a collar at the base of the swivel, and is
turned round close to afore-mentioned collar, which has a slot cut in it, forming the
only means by which the link can pass on or off the hook.
This hook is superior to others at present in use, in so far that it is stronger and
much safer than any existing.

hook connected with harness, and is for the purpose of preventing the backband or
rigwoody chain from detaching itself, while being jerked through the action of
the shafts.
The hook itself is constructed with a collar A at the base of the swivel, in which
turns a safety ring B.
The collar and ring A and B have grooves cut in them to allow the link to pass
off and on the hook C, which passes close to ring B when shut, as in Fig. IV.
Fig. I is a front elevation of hook when open.
Fig. II is a side elevation of hook when open.
Fig. III and IV are sectional plans of hook through X Y showing position of
collar-ring-and hook when open and shut respectively.
To slip link off or on the hook, turn the ring B, so that the grooves in B and A
coincide with each other and turn hook C opposite grooves as in Fig. III.
When link is on, turn ring B to any position such as is shown in Fig. IV. By
doing so the passage through the grooves is closed, preventing the link from
escaping.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner it is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
That the ring on collar moving round closes the passage and prevents the link
from slipping off.

Improvements in Bottle Stands, Frames, or Cases.
We, GEORG HONERLA of Hermannstr. Detmold, Merchant and WILHELM
OESTER, the younger, of Westfalen, Schulstr. 643,-Guterslob, Merchant, both in
the German Empire, 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 subject of this invention is a case intended for use as a frame or stand for
supporting bottles, its main feature being that it is divided into compartments
or cells after the manner of a honeycomb.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings, in which-
Figure 1 represents in a perspective view, a bottle frame or stand, the division
of which, in accordance with this invention, is effected by means of rods.
Figure 2 is a plan thereof, corresponding to Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is a modified form of the improved bottle case or stand, wherein the
division is effected by means of thin boards.
The bottom of the case is divided into hexagonal spaces or compartments, small
sticks or pegs, such as a being vertically fixed or embedded at the angles formed
by the six sides, and thus forming the hexagonal receptacles 6 for the bottles.
The length and thickness of these pegs or rods depends upon the shape and size
of the bottles; for very tall and bulky bottles the firmness of the dividing rods
or pegs may be increased by tying wire round their upper ends.
In the modification shown in Figure 3, the partitions c between the com-
partments d, which are of the same hexagonal or honeycomb shape as the form
first described, are made of thin boards or plates. This division of bottle stands
or cases enables the available space to be fully taken advantage of.
The improved bottle stand or case, besides, presents the advantage, that the
bottles are retained in position by direct contact with the wall of their receptacles
at a number of points of their respective peripheries, whereby the danger of
breakages is materially reduced.
The construction of bottle stands or cases such as this for shipment merely
involves an increase in the height of the side walls of the case, and the provision of
a cover or lid with means for closing or fastening the same.
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-
A bottle frame, case or stand mainly distinguishable by the honeycomb arrange-
ment or division of its interior; the partitions e between the cells or compartments
being made at will of either thin plates or boards, or of rods or sticks, such as a,
erected at the angles of the polygonal compartments or cells.

Improvements in Waste Fittings for Sinks.
1, CLEMENT BURGESS BROAD of 2 & 4 South Wharf Paddington W. in the
County of London Brickmaker 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 :—
Scullery and butlers' sinks are usually made with an open outlet for waste, over
or into which is fixed a grating for the interception of solids.
In the sink for which the Patent is now applied-in lieu of the ordinary perforated
or rabbetted outlet a rabbetted well is constructed in which a perforated bucket-
or cup is suspended for the reception of solids.
This bucket or cup-has an open cross-piece over the top to prevent culinary
utensils from falling into the well. At the base of the well and surrounding the
neck of the outlet, another rabbet is made, into which is fitted an ordinary grating,
the object of this grating being to intercept any solids which may possibly have
passed through the perforations of the bucket or cup. Two strainers are thus fitted
to each sink and so give double security against the possibility of solids passing
down the drain. The bucket-or cup-being loosely suspended by its flange can
easily be lifted and emptied of any particles of vegetable refuse or solid matter
which may have accumulated therein, and the flow of the sink is thus kept free from
these accumulations.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed-I declare that what I claim is-
1. Novelty in configuration in the manufacture of sinks made of metal, stone,
clay or earthenware, my invention providing for the addition of a well over the
waste outlet, in which is suspended a perforated bucket or cup made of metal, stone,
clay, or earthenware for the interception of solids and for the ready disposal of the
same.
2. The insertion of a second strainer-or grating-at the bottom of the well-
below the before mentioned bucket-or cup-and immediately above the outgo
pipe of the sink for the further interception of solids.

OTTO FENNIG OF TU DIsmarckplatz, Dresden, in the Kingdom of Saxony,
German Empire, Pharmaceutist, 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 :-
50 grammes of tropa-cocaine (CH_NO) (C,H,O) or pure cocaine
are mixed together with
80 grammes of caffeine,
8 grammes of chloride of morphine.
This mixture is dissolved in 500 grammes of absolute alcohol and placed
at a cool spot for crystallisation. After the crystallisation has become perfect
1.38 grammes of the crystallised salt is added to 250 grammes of any kind of a
liqueur, which is to be filtered after the salt has become completely dissolved.
This remedy effects a calming of the central nerves of the stomach thus
preventing sea-sickness. Hitherto this result has not been attained by ordinary
remedies.
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 remedy, consisting of tropa-cocaine (CH, NO) (C,H,O)
or pure cocaine, mixed together with caffeine and chloride of morphine, for
producing a powder, the said powder being dissolved in absolute alcohol,
crystallised, and added to liqueur, and afterwards filtered.
