Improvements in Malt Beverages.
I, EDWIN ADAM, of No. 2044 Federal Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
United States of America Brewmaster, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists of a beverage composed of unfermented wort, charged
artificially with alcohol, wine, cordial, or other distilled or fermented liquor and
carbonic acid gas.
According to my invention I prepare the beverage by boiling a quantity of
unfermented wort extracted from highly dried malt or any suitable cereal or other
material in a suitable vessel with hops, there being therein a high percentage of
dextrine, say one to four per cent. of dextrine to one hundred parts of wort, accord-
ing to the gravity of the wort. The boiling is continued until a desired density is
obtained, when it is run off into a receiver, and from thence over or through a
cooler of any suitable construction, so as to reduce the temperature to any
desired degree. When this is done, it is conveyed into an air-tight vessel,
where it is fined and allowed to remain a sufficient time to permit the deposit of
any sediment therein, after which it is forced under pressure from this vessel to
and through suitable apparatus containing distilled or fermented liquor, such as
alcohol, wine, cordial, or the like whereby it is charged artificially with a liquor
and carbonic acid gas. It is afterwards passed through a filter when it is ready
for use, and may be drawn into kegs or other suitable receptacles.
In case the wort is to be highly charged with the said liquor or carbonic
acid gas, it is circulated to and from the charging apparatus and air-tight
vessel, until the desired charge is obtained.
At any time after it is sufficiently charged, the prepared wort is forced by
pressure through a filter and from thence directed into packages for the
market.
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. The process of preparing a beverage consisting in making an unfermented
wort having a suitable percentage of dextrine, boiling the said wort with hops,
fining the said hopped wort, and artificially charging the same with alcohol
and carbonic acid gas, substantially as described.
2. A beverage consisting of an unfermented wort having a suitable percentage
of dextrine and an artificial charge of alcohol and carbonic acid gas, substan-
tially as described.

Improvements relating to Vulcanite Dentures of Artificial Teeth.
I, ARTHUR GILLETT TAYLOR, of 29 Poland Street, London, W. Dental
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 object of my invention is to improve the strengthening of vulcanite
dentures of artificial teeth, and prevent fracture, as also to increase their artistic
appearance.
My invention consists in the employment of fine metal wire spirally arranged
and which is introduced into the well known artificial dental plates made of
vulcanite. I have found in practice that by forming up metal wire spirally I am
enabled to ensure an enhancement of the strength and durability of the denture, to
an extent unattainable by wire, or pieces of metal of other formations.
In accordance with my invention, the spiral wire may be in the form of a spiral
proper as shown in Figure 1. of the accompanying sheet of drawings, which
represents the strengthening medium made up in the form ready for insertion in the
denture or in a spirally woven or plaited form as shown in Figure 2. in this latter
figure the strengthening medium according to my invention is shown in the
manufactured state previously being caused to assume the configuration of the
denture. The said strengthening medium according to my invention is introduced
or inserted into the rubber during the vulcanizing process, so as to ensure the free
dissemination or distribution of the vulcanite between the convolutions or meshes.
of the wire introduced in accordance with my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be understood
that I am aware metal strengthening pieces have already been introduced into the
dentures in connection with what are known in the dental profession, as vulcanite
cases; and, I wish it to be understood that I make no claim per se for wire and
metal strengthening pieces; but, what I claim is.
For the vulcanite dentures of artificial teeth, the introduction of metal spiral.
wire; as, and for the purposes herein set forth.

A Combined Candlestick and Match Receptacle.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM DOVER of Sycamore Tree Works, Rockingham
Street, Sheffield in the County of York, 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 the combination with a candlestick of a match box or
match box holder, the object being that the matches may be always found with
the candlestick, and also to prevent the many accidents that arise from match boxes
being carelessly left about so that children can get to them, and the like.
The invention is applicable to candlesticks of any material and may be modified
to suit the various patterns of such articles.
I have illustrated one form of combination in the annexed sheet of drawings in
which the invention may be carried into practice.
According to the arrangement shown in the drawing the candlestick may be
made of metal, earthenware, glass or of a combination of metal and wood, or other
suitable material or materials, and if made of metal I solder or otherwise attach to
the handle A, or to the bottom B, or to both of them a match box or receptacle C,
of any desired size and form, and preferably with a lid or cover D, as shown, which
may have a thumb bit E, so that the lid D, can be readily raised by the thumb T,
of the hand in which the candlestick is held.
The lid may be closed by the aid of a spring if desired to securely retain the
matches M, and the body of the receptacle may be roughed as at F, for igniting the
matches.
In the case of earthenware or glass candlesticks the receptacle may be made out
of the same continuous material, or may be made of other material such as metal
and be attached to the candlestick.
The form of the receptacle may be varied as desired, being made in some cases
to receive an ordinary chip or paper match box either provided with a hinged lid,
or so that the chip box can be pushed in at an open end, and the igniting material
be exposed through an open side.
Although I prefer to make the receptacle a permanent fixture in combination
with the candlestick, I do not debar myself from attaching it by screws, clips or
equivalent means in such a manner that it may be removed for cleaning purposes
or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner it may be carried into practice, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1-The combination with a candlestick of a match receptacle, of any material,
or form, permanently attached thereto, and substantially as hereinbefore described
and shown.
2-The combination with a candlestick of a match receptacle of any material,
or form, affixed thereto in such a manner that it may be disconnected when desired,
substantially as hereinbefore described.

A New or Improved Method of Plating or Coating Aluminium or
Aluminium Alloys.
We, GEORG WEGNER of 7 Oppelner Strasse, Berlin, Germany, Goldsmith,
and PAUL GÜHRS of 32 Stallschreiber Strasse, Berlin, 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 new or improved method of producing electrolytic
depositions on aluminium and aluminium alloys and it has for its object to do so in
such a manner that the deposit will adhere so firmly that, the articles coated may
be hammered, cut or bent without the coating coming off.
Our method of procedure is as follows:-
The article of aluminium or of an alloy of aluminium is first steeped in a bath
consisting of acetic-verdigris dissolved in vinegar, oxide of iron, sulphur and
ammonium chloride. After this treatment the article is brushed with a soft brass-
wire brush. As a result of the brushing a metal ground is formed which absorbs
the oxide of the aluminium and fills up the pores. The ground becomes firmly
fixed to the aluminium without any intermediate strata. The article is now rinsed
well in clear water and is then placed in a silver, nickel, gold, copper, brass or other
electrolytic bath to be plated in the usual manner.
The articles can be coated to any thickness to suit different requirements. The
hereinbefore described process is mainly suited for sheets or wires made of
aluminium or its alloys and which have to be worked up after treatment by stamping,
perforating, sawing, cutting, bending etc., as, since the plating adheres very firmly,
there is no probability of the plating scaling or stripping off. The plating will not
come off even though the sheet or wire is bent backwards and forwards.
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 :-
The hereinbefore described method of plating or coating aluminium or its alloys,
consisting in, first, steeping the aluminium article to be operated on in a bath com-
posed of acetic verdigris dissolved in vinegar, oxide of iron, sulphur, and
ammonium chloride, then brushing it with a soft-brass-wire brush and thereafter
rinsing it in water; finally subjecting it to treatment in an electrolytic bath.

Improvements in Fastenings for Machine Belting.
I, ALEXANDER WELP of Remscheid, Germany, Toolmaker, 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 certain improvements in fastenings for machine belting,
and consists as will be seen on reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings
upon which Fig. 1. represents a longitudinal section through a fastener, with ends of
belt secured therein, and Fig. 2 a plan of the fastener without the belt,-of two
eccentric rollers r. r. arranged parallel to one another within suitable connecting
plates or links a. a. and within which connecting plates or links the axles v. o. of
the rollers are free to revolve.
In the belt fastener as shewn the ends of the belt b, are held firmly together by
the pressure of the two eccentric rollers r. r. which are caused to revolve in the
direction indicated by the arrows, by the strain upon the belt and are thus
automatically forced together by a pressure increasing with the strain or tension
upon the belt. As the rolls r. r. press directly upon the ends of the belt b, which
are in close contact and between them, the movement of the rolls becomes
simultaneous and any additional strain upon the belt in the direction of the arrows
serves to force the rollers inwards and so grip the ends of the belt more tightly.
Another important advantage of my improved belt fastener consists in the arrange-
ment of the roller whereby I am enabled to force the ends of the belt so closely
together as to reduce if not entirely obviate the open space or gap between the
ends of the same and consequently ensure the belt travelling upon the pulley
evenly and without noise at all times.
The fastener can readily be attached to a belt without skilled labour or the use of
any special tools, and the rolls may be corrugated or roughed if desired, to ensure a
better grip of the belt and may be made of metal or other suitable material.
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 belt fastener consisting of two eccentric and parallel rollers arranged
within suitable connecting plates or links and within which connecting plates or
links the axles of the rollers are free to revolve.
2. Belt fasteners constructed combined and arranged substantially as and for the
purposes described.

Improvements in Eyelets.
I, LOUIS JOSEPH EMILE GOURDE of 30 Rue Moret, Paris Button Manu-
facturer 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 practice it is found that with ordinary metallic eyelets as at present in use
the black or other colouring varnish employed for coating same rapidly wears
away thus leaving the metal exposed and causing same to oxidise and discolour
the leather, linen or the like, whilst the colour of the metal forming the eyelet is
exposed.
With the object in view of overcoming this drawback I insert in or otherwise
adapt to the top of the eyelet a disc or ring of paper, rubber, leather, or other
comparatively soft or pliant substance which will retain the colouring material and
at the same time be capable of receiving by stamping or otherwise fancy designs or
shapes.
In the accompanying drawing
Figures 1 and 3 are elevations of my improved eyelet to an enlarged scale and
Figures 2 and 4 plan views.
Figure 5 is a section of the paper or other soft ring employed and Figure 6
a plan.
Figure 7 is a section of the eyelet as completed and Figure 8 a plan.
According to my invention I turn up the periphery a of the flange or shoulder A
of the eyelet to form a rim by which the paper or other soft ring B is retained in
place; the washer or ring B, which is suitably colored can then be stamped into
any required shape and design, a section of such completed eyelet in one form being
shown in Figure 7.
By my invention I can impart any fancy form or ornamental design to the ring B
at the same time ensuring the perfect adhesion of the latter to the eyelet which can
then be used for a great length of time without fear of same oxidising by the
wearing off of the varnish.
My improved form of eyelet can be employed with what are known as false
buttons and in divers ways, the paper or other soft substance B being formed in the
shape of rings or discs as required.
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 combination with a metallic eyelet of a paper or other soft ring or disc B
clamped to the flange or shoulder A by the rim a or otherwise as and for the
purposes specified.

Improvements in Tools for Inserting or Withdrawing Screws, Screw
Hooks, or like articles.
A communication by JOSEPH LINDNER, of Würtzburg, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street Liverpool and 6 Bank Street Man-
chester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn in the County of
Middlesex, 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:—
In inserting or withdrawing screw hooks, it has hitherto been necessary to use
flat pliers, or even cutting pincers.
Now, to make the use of such instruments unnecessary, a tool forming the object
of this invention has been designed, which may be handled easily and safely, and
is preferably used in conjunction with a hand brace.
On the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 shows an elevation of this tool. The lower conical part a is adapted
to fit into a crank brace, whilst the head b holds the screw hook which is to be
employed.
-
Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section of the tool with a screw hook c inserted in
the head b. This screw hook is inserted in the centre in the slot d, Figure 3, by
means of pressure on the plate e.
By this means, as well as by the pressure of the spring fagainst the part g, the
screw hook c is held in such a manner that it must assume a position axial to the
crank brace.
The plate e is held vertically on the one hand by means of the surfaces,
Figure 4, forming the sides of the head, and on the other hand by means of the
screw g, which fits into the part i of the tool.
Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 (more particularly Figures 6 and 7) show the parts which
have further for their object the screwing in of ordinary wood screws, as well as
screw rings, which may be performed by means of the crank brace.
Figure 6 shows a screw-driver & arranged in the head b, which may be inserted
through the slot d, in the same way as a screw hook, and held fast by means of the
springfand the plate e.
When screwing in screw rings, the holder l, shown in Figures 7 and 8, is inserted
in a similar manner in the head b, and thereby an easy and certain turning of the
screw ring is rendered possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
An improved tool used in conjunction with a hand brace, consisting of screw
hook c, screw-driver k or holder inserted in the slot d formed in the head band
held in a position axial to the hand brace by spring ƒ and plate e and by means of
which screws, screw hooks or the like may be rapidly inserted or withdrawn,
substantially as described.
