Improvements in and connected with Hats, Caps, and similar
Head Coverings.
We, WILLIAM JOHN BATTERSBY and WILLIAM NORFOLK BATTERSBY, both
of the Offerton Hat Works, Stockport, in the County of Chestor, Hat Manu-
facturers, 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 is designed to promote the ventilation of hats, helmets, caps, and
other similar head coverings, and consists in perforating the leathers or sweat-
bands, or in employing leathers or sweat bands which are wholly perforated or
pervious or have a perforated or pervious part or parts, through 'which air
can pass freely. At the back of the perforated or pervious part or parts of the
leather or swent band we attach a layer or layers of the fibrous substanco known
in commerce as "loofah" and which is alleged to be the fibrous structure of
the gourd.
A very convenient method of application of this fibrous substance for the
purpose of our invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a part of the leather or sweat band as seen from inside the head.
covering.
Figure 2 shews the loofah fibre as attached to the opposite side of the leather.
Figure 3 represents a felt hat with a portion broken away, shewing part of the
leather with the loofah behind it.
L is the leather or sweat hand, P perforations therein, and F the loofab fibre.
As illustrated the leather has a series of perforatious made in that part of it which
comes upon or nearest to the forehead of the wearer, but theso porforations may be.
made elsewhere or may extend all around the leather, or they may be substituted by
auy suitable equivalent pervious part or parts. At the back of the pervious or
perforated part or parts there is attached a layer or layers of loofah, so as to come.
between the leather or sweat band and the head covering. As shewn by the
drawings, the loofah is attached by paper fasteuers, but it may be stitched on or be
otherwise secured.
Loofah is of extreme value for the purpose of this invention since it possesses
great flexibility and power of recovery after compression, whilst it is practically
unaltered by either heat or moisture under any conditions to which it will be
exposed in use.
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:-
In hats caps helmets and similar head coverings, a leather or sweat band having
a perforated or pervious part or parts or being wholly perforated or pervious, and
having at the back a layer or layers of loofah arranged to cover the porforated or
pervious part or parts, substantially as hereinbefore described with roference to the
accompanying drawings.

Improved Device for Indicating the Stoppage of Water-closets.
1, LEO COHN, of 40 Schmiedebrücke, Breslau, Germany Mining Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The present invention consists of an electrical device for indicating visibly and
andibly any stoppage in the watercloset system of a house.
The device consists of the arrangement of electric contacts at those points of the
drains at which stoppages are most likely to occur viz. at the bends under the
pans. At these points membranes are arranged which are raised if a stoppage
occurs and close the contact and start an alarm as also cause a signal to fall in a
suitable casing, which shows on which floor the stoppage has occurred.
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:-
Fig. 1 being a vertical section through a building showing the arrangements of
the closets and diagrammatic view of the conductors and
Fig. 2 a part vertical section through the syphon of a closet.
Under the closure of the syphon a and under the cover bat the juncture with
the main are arranged easily accessible, membranes c having contact pin d. The
latter is arranged vertically under a contact on the cover, one of the poles f of a
battery being connected to the contact d and the other 9 to the contact e.
From these points the conductors lead in the usual manner to the signalling
table and alarm k.
Thus if any of the syphons get stopped up, the membrane c will be raised and
the circuit joined at d and e, thus the point at which the stoppage occurs will be
indicated on the signalling board and at the same time the alarm will be set
going.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I claim is:-
A device for indicating stoppages in waterclosets consisting of a membrane
arranged within the pipes at such points where stoppages are most likely to occur,
a contact on said membrane and a contact above same, said contacts being
adapted to close the circuit when the membrane is raised and a signalling board
and alarm in said circuit substantially as described.

Road, in the County of 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 :-
Our invention has for its object a shade of such construction that it may be
adjusted to extend wholly, or only partly round the lamp or the like, in connection
with which it is employed, as required.
For this purpose we construct a shade in two or more parts, and these we so
mount upon a part of the lamp or the like, or upon a ring or the like mounted
thereon, that said parts may slide one over the other and so be adjusted as to partly
or wholly enclose said lamp or the like.
A shade constructed in two parts and adapted for use in connection with electric
incandescent lamps is shown in the accompanying drawings, and by the aid of these
we will more particularly describe our invention and the manner in which the same

following statement :-
My invention has for its object to ensure the thorough admixture of gas and air
for heating and lighting purposes such as has not yet been obtainable with the gas
heating burners and especially with the incandescent gas burners hitherto used and
I accordingly divide the mixture of gas and air on its way from the gas outlet
nozzle to the place of combustion, into two or more layers which may follow
different directions while constantly impinging one upon the other and whirling
together.
In the accompanying drawings Figs. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate three different ways of
carrying my invention into practice.
For the purpose above mentioned, I place two spirals bd of thin sheet metal or
the like in the mixing tube a of an ordinary Bunsen burner Fig. 1. One of the
spirals has right handed convolutions which are wide enough to come into contact
at b and c with the inner walls of the tube a; the second spiral d is coiled as at e
upon a pin in a reverse direction to the spiral band hence has left handed
convolutions.
In Fig. 3 the two spirals b d are placed in the burner proper which is enlarged
for this purpose.
Fig. 2 shows a burner having a horizontal mixing tube a wherein the spirals b d
are inserted.
The said spirals may be soldered together at their crossing points, or they may
be connected together in any other suitable manner.
It is obvious that instead of the spiral b corresponding worms &c. may be cast in
the mixing tube a or otherwise attached thereto.
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 incandescent and other gas heating burners, the conveyance of the mixture of
gas and air, throughout the whole cr a portion of its travel, from the gas outlet
nozzle to the place of combustion, along two or more spirals connected together
and having reverse convolutions in order to divide this mixture into opposite layers
for more thoroughly mixing the gas and air substantially as herein described and
shown.

An Improved Soap or Cleansing Agent.

An Improved Soap or Cleansing Agent.
I HERBERT WILLIAM WILSON of the Firm of Wilson Brothers Ltd., of
Cornholme, Todmorden, in the County of Lancaster, Bobbin 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, that is to say :-
My said invention relates to an improved soap or cleansing agent well adapted
to have increased cleansing powers in washing the hands and face or body when
these have become very foul, as for example in the case of mechanics, iron workers,
colliers and other operatives handling grimy materials. My improved cleansing
agent or soap is however also useful for many other purposes in which it is
desirable that the soap should have a certain amount of roughness or grip without
there being present anything likely to scratch or injure smooth surfaces. For
instance my improved soap is specially useful for cleansing painted surfaces,
glass, the woodwork of houses and ships and other similar articles or surfaces.
In manufacturing my improved soap or cleansing agent I take sawdust of any
suitable degree of coarseness and mix it in about equal proportions with ordinary
soap. The soap and sawdust are thoroughly amalgamated and pressed into the
form of cakes or bars, or the compound may be used in the form of soft soap.
One advantage possessed by my improved soap is that it floats in water and is
not therefore so liable to be lost or left immersed in the washing vessel or bath.
Although I have instanced sawdust as the material for amalgamating with the
soap it is to be understood that this term is intended to include wood in any other
finely divided or ground or otherwise reduced form.
I do not confine myself to the stated proportions of the soap and sawdust as
these might be varied to suit requirements..
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 improved soap or cleansing agent consisting of soap combined with sawdust
as set forth.

Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Waterproof
Dubbing for Leather and Leather Goods.
I, GUSTAV WILLIBALD HANSEN, of 4 Hedwigstrasse, Halle-on-Saale, in the
German Empire, Agriculturist, 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 process for the manufacture and the composition of a
waterproof grease or dubbing for leather and leather goods, which preserves the
leather or articles made therefrom in the most efficient manner, renders them
reliably proof against rain, snow and ice-water and keeps them supple.
In order to obtain this object I melt tallow and wax together and add before
cooling, a mixture of train oil and cod liver oil.
I may carry out my invention, for instance, as follows in practice.
Two parts by weight of tallow, preferably deer tallow, are melted together with
one fourth of that weight of wax, and before cooling four parts by weight of train
oil and two parts by weight of cod liver oil are added while continually stirring.
In order to give the grease or dubbing a certain colour, the desired pigment is
added (for instance part by weight of ivory black if the dubbing is to be black)
and the mass is then allowed to cool.
Leather, or leather goods, to which this dubbing has been applied for some time,
become perfectly water-proof and remain soft and supple.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. A process for the manufacture of a preserving waterproof grease or dubbing
for leather and leather goods consisting in melting tallow with wax and adding,
before cooling, train oil, cod liver oil, and if desired a suitable quantity of pigment,
substantially as described.
2nd. The composition of a grease or dubbing consisting of 2 parts by weight of
tallow, part of wax, four parts of train oil and two parts of cod liver oil, with or
without pigment.

GEORGE HENRY WALTERS Artist, 21 Kingsdown Parade Bristol Gloucestershire-
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I claim as an improvement upon the ordinary laths for ceilings, partitions walls, or
the like, thin wood of any width, most convenient for plasterers use, the same being-
perforated, mortised or stamped, straight or diagonally with round, oblong, square, or
any other shape holes, as may be deemed most desirable or useful for the satisfactory
keying and strength of the plaster mortar, or any other material usually used as a
coating on the ordinary laths.

Improved Lath for Ceilings, Walls, or Partitions.
GEORGE HENRY WALTERS, Artist, 21 Kingsdown Parade Bristol in the County of
Gloucestershire England 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 lath for ceilings, walls, partitions or the-
like, the same which I preferably construct of thin wood from to inch in thickness.
and of any desired width which may be deemed most convenient, the same I
purpose to perforate, mortice, or stamp through either straight or diagonally with.
round, square, oblong or any other shape holes, whichever may be deemed most
desirable for the satisfactory keying and strength of the plaster, mortar, or any-
other material usually used as a coating upon the ordinary laths.
The advantages of my improved laths are the following.
I. Great saving of time in the nailing of same to the joist.
11. There being no laps or bends as in the ordinary narrow laths, a perfectly flat.
and even surface is produced, with far less material, consequently its advantages are.
obvious.
III. Greater strength obtained, as my laths are only perforated, not severed into-
narrow strips, therefore the mortar or plaster when it has passed through the perforations.
forms a perfect key and again becomes united, rendering it thereby unable to drop.
or give way as is frequent with the ordinary laths.
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. Thin wood perforated, morticed or stamped through with round, square, oblong-
or any other shape holes, to receive mortar plaster or cement, for ceilings, partitions.
or the like.
