An Improvement in Steam and other Vapour Engines.
We, GALLOWAYS LIMITED, and HENRY FOSTER, all of Knott Mill Iron
Works, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, 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 engines in which steam or other vapour is employed as
the motive fluid, and has for its object to maintain and increase the heat of the
fluid while it is performing work. For this purpose we connect the jackets of the
working cylinders of simple engines or the jackets and intermediate chambers and
passages of compound engines either separately or conjointly by circulating pipes
to the water space of a boiler in which water is maintained at a temperature as
high as or higher than that of the operating stenm or vapour.
When steam is the
motive fluid, the circulating water may be that of the boiler which generates the
steam, or may be taken from an independent boiler if desired. The circulation of
the hot water may be effected or aided by pumping when necessary.
The steam pipe leading from a boiler to an engine may be wholly or partially
jacketted and have its jacket or jackets supplied with hot circulating water.
By thus employing water as the heating medium, instead of the steam which is
usually employed, the mass of the heating body which is brought in contact with
the walls of the cylinders, chambers or passages is very much greater than that of
steam occupying the same space, and, the specific heat of water being greater than
that of steam, the heating effect for the same mass is greater.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
Connecting the jackets of the cylinders, chambers passages and pipes of steam
or other vapour engines by circulating pipes with the water space of a boiler,
substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Improved Fasteners, applicable for Use instead of Pins in Laundry
Work.
Philippe GRACIEUX C.E. of Rodez (Aveyron) France, temporarily residing
at 80 Warwick Street London S.W. 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 :-
This laundry pin or fastener is specially made of pliable white metal, the bead
being in the form of a crescent and having two small points in the centre which
are turned back, on the pin being inserted in the buttonhole thus perfectly
securing it.
The Figures "A" shows a complete pin formed from a piece of plate.
The Figure "B" illustrates the piece of plate out ready for the points of the
pin to be bent up into the position in which they are required for the pin to be used.
By the use of these fasteners for binding or fastening together articles as are
usually fastened by an ordinary pin, and for the attaching together the buttonholes
of articles that have been cleansed in the laundry, there is obtained great saving of
time and labour to the laundress; olennliness and finish in appearance; and tearing
of buttonholes is avoided.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim ie,―
1st. The construction of an improved form of pin or fastener for use in laundries,
where an ordinary pin is generally used, in accordance with my description and
drawings herewith attached.

Improvements in or connected with the Softening of Hard Water.
I, WILLIAM BROTHERS, of Higher Clews Chemical Works, Rawtenstall, in
the County of Lancaster, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what mauner 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 provide a suitable agent for softoning or
removing from water the soluble or other compounds which render it hard.
It consists essentially in the application to the water or the use of solid ammonium
hydrogen carbonate NH HCOs for this purpose.

In using the ammonium hydrogen carbonate it is dissolved in hot or boiling
water which liberates the carbonic acid gas and the liquid is mixed in a suitable
quantity or proportion with the water to be treated.
The invention may be applied to the softening of water cither for domestic,
laundry or general purposes, and the water may be treated' in large or small
quantities.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The use as an agent for softening hard water, of ammonium hydrogen carbonate
(NH,HCO,) substantially as described

I, THEOPHILE LABINAL, of 78 Rue de Meaux, Paris, in the Republic of
France, 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 former arrangements invented by Babinet which have been applied to
vacuum pumps for laboratories with the object of carrying the vacuum beyond
the limits determined by the clearances was too complicated to come generally
into use.
The present invention allows this result to be attained. It has for its object
a simple and automatic arrangement which may be applied to all pumps for
producing a vacuum or compressing gases.
My invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing which shows an arrangement
which consists in placing the clearances in communication with the other end of
the cylinder when the piston is at the end or nearly at the end of its travel.
The piston serves as a distributor at the proper moment of its travel. I pierce
in the wall of the body of the pump as at a b c one or several small passages and
I cut away the piston at d as shown forming a semicircular groove making use of
the segment to obtain perfect obturation, the piston having more or less play in
the cylinder.
At the moment when the point d of the piston comes to the point c in the body
of the pump and for so long as it remains beyond it the required communication
takes place. It ceases as soon as the piston in returning has passed the position
indicated.
The arrangement is identical at both ends of the cylinder.
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 arrangement which consists in causing the clearances to be in communication
with the body of the pump by means of one or several small passages pierced in
the pump body and in hollowing ont a semicircular crnave in the minton this

Improvements in Mosaic Flags or Plates.
I, GEORG HUPPERT, Master Plasterer, of Bockenheim, near Frankfort-on-the-
Main, 114 Einheimerlandstrasse, in the 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:-
My invention has for its object improvements in mosaic flags or plates whereby
a slab or plate can have any particular design imprinted therein and is for foot
pavements. My flag consists essentially of two layers the connection of which
brings about the desired result, that is to say, the production of a covering upon
which is imprinted or stamped a mosaic design or pattern. One of the two layers,
i.e. the uppermost layer a is about 2 centimetres thick and is prepared with colored
cement and provided with any desired pattern or design which it is required to
reproduce. The grooves formed by the pattern may or may not be filled with any
suitable material. The lower layer is somewhat thicker (about 3 centimetres)
and consists of a firmly cone pressed and well bound mixture of cement and river
sand;
which gives the required solidity to the flag stone.
These flags or slabs however - are not intended to be used merely for foot-
pavements but they may be made of all sizes and color and utilized for other
decorative or ornamenting purposes.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1., is a plan of such a plate and
Figure 2., a cross section of the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
improvements and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :-
The improvements in mosaic flags or plates consisting of two layers a and b in
which the first layer a receives any suitable design or pattern while the layer b
serves as a base and stiffening means for the whole, substantially as and for the
purpose herein set forth and shown.

Guard for Curtains, to Prevent their Being Torn when the Windows.
are Opened.
I, SELIGMANN BRUNMANN, Partner of Braumann & Wolf, Manufacturer of
Rubensstrasse 15 Cologne on the Rhine, in the Province of Rhineland and King-
dom of Prussia 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:-
Up to the present ladies have found it a great disadvantage that curtains,
especially those, that are fixed and which cannot, like the draw-curtains, be drawn
back before the window is opened, are caught by the sharp edges of the latter,
when it is opened, and are thus liable to be torn. This happens even if the
necessary care has been taken in opening the window, and especially very
frequently, when opened windows, which have no arrangement for keeping them in
that position are slammed to by draught or wind. As we have already said, people
have been obliged to put up with this evil since time immemorial, without any remedy
as yet having been found in the shape of a courtain-guard.
Such a guard is represented by my invention, which is shown in a front as well
as an upper view in the annexed drawing.
This invention consists in a bow A A₁, made of any kind of material, being
attached to the upper edge of each window-casement; these bows, as is shown in
Fig. 2, partly lie over each other, when the window is shut, but when the casements.
are opened, (drawn with dotted lines) however they push against the respective
halves of the curtains, and on the window being further opened, continue to push
them forwards, so that any contact between the curtain and window-frame is.
absolutely impossible.
The apparatus can be very easily attached to every window no matter how it is.
fastened, and as it always covered by the curtain, when the window is shut as well
as when it is opened, it is not at all conspicuous.
Of course, the bows, as we have already stated, may be made of any kind of
material and of any design and any size. It is only necessary however that sharp.
edges and corners be avoided as much as possible.
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:
Guard for window-curtains to prevent them from being torn when the windows
are being opened, consisting in the arrangement of a bow at the upper end of each
window-casement in such a manner, that the bows on the window being opened.
prevent the curtains from being touched by the window casements.

employed for attaching a blind to a roller.
We attain this object by the means hereinafter described, reference being made
to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figs. 1 and 3 represent side views, and Figs. 2 and 4 transverse sections on
line A A of a wooden roller, and
Fig. 5 a transverse section of a metallic roller for blind or a sunshade.
constructed according to this invention.
In blind rollers as a either of the form shown, or octagonal, hexagonal, or of

Improvements in Animal Traps.
We, HENRY TOMLINSON DODD, of Moulamein, in the Colony of New South
Wales, Rabbiter, and RICHARD HINDSON, of Moulamein, in the Colony of New
South Wales, Storekeeper do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
the manner in which the same is to be used to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Our invention relates to improvements in animal traps and its object to render
the construction of such traps simpler and their efficacy greater.
The ordinary spring steel trap is provided with a spring, jaws closed by said
spring, an adjustable falling table for bait, an arm carrying a detent which is
adapted to engage a notch upon a hinged bearer to which said falling plate is
connected. That kind of trap requires considerable skill in setting, and when set
it leaves the detent so exposed that the latter is liable to be trodden on and moved
by the animals sought to be caught (such as rabbits) whereupon the trap will
spring shut and the detent be thrown upward and outward thus actually throwing
the rabbit or other animal clear of the trap in many instances-in actual
experience it has been found in as many as 50 per cent of the traps set-after
which the baits if any be used are taken out with impunity.
In our trap there is no separate detent piece (properly so called) on a hinge of
its own.
Instead of there being a throwing upward of the hinged bearer which
we utilize as a detent that part drops when the trap is sprung. Our trap will not
spring when a rabbit or other rodent is moving about the trap unless a sufficient
weight is placed directly upon the falling table, and we have found that animals
cannot in practice spring traps of our construction and still escape being caught:
Referring now to the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 shows our trap, in perspective view, set for use
Figure 2 shows an end elevation (partly in section through the hinged bearer
which supports the falling table) of the same open trap; and
Figure 3 shows a perspective view of our trap in closed position.
A shows the spring, B the jaws, C the falling table, D the bearer secured to C
and having a tooth or projection E and hinged at F to the base G. The tooth E
is situated so as to be adapted to be set in engagement with one of the jawe B so
as to keep the trap open as shown by Figure 1.
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 :-
1. In an animal trap the general combination and arrangement of bearer as D,
detent as E, and jaws as B, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In an animal trap a detent engaging with a jaw substantially as set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Boots and Shoes
I, JOHN WILLIAM CHURCH of Duke Sticet, Northampton in the County of
Northampton, 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 has for its object an improved loop or tab for boots or shoes to
enable them to be pulled on by. It is designed to take the place of the ordinary
tabs hitherto used almost exclusively for boots and which often looks so unsightly
unless tucked inside, especially when knickers nie worn.
It will be understood from the following desciption, reference being had to the
accompanying drawings, in which
Figures and 2 show a portion of the upper leather of a boot with my
improved tab or loop applied thereto,
Figures 3 and 4 the same with different species of fastenings.
In these figures, A is a portion of the upper leather of the boot; B the tab of
leather, canvas or other suitable material, one end of which is sewn to the leather
of the boot in any suitable manner and the other end provided with a button-hole
which is folded down and buttoned into the button C When putting on the boot,
the wearer pulls at tho unbuttoned tab as shown in Figure I When the boot is
pulled on, he buttons the tab on to the button C, which in that position has a very
neat appearance. If desued, the boot can be pulled on when the tab is buttoned
down, as shown in Figure 2, by slipping the finger through the loop.
I have described one way in which the invention may be cared into effect but
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to any special fastening for
the tab, as instead of button C, a spring button or clasp, (Figure 3), or a spring or
other hook (Figure 4) might be used
Having now particularly descubed 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 18:-
1. The improvement in boots or shoes, which consists in providing them with a
tab B, one end of which is sewn to the leather of the boot and the other folded
down and fastened to the boot by a button or any other suitable fastenings,
substantially as described.
2. The combination with a boot or shoe of a tab consisting of a piece of leather,
canvas or the equivalents secured at one end to the boot and the other end
folded down in the form of a loop and fastened to the boot by a button, hook or
the like, whereby one end of the tab can easily be disconnected when required,
substantially as set forth.

A New Process for Torrefying Coffee.
I, ALBERT ECкARDT of 44, Kaiserstrasse, Dortmund, Germany 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 :-
It is a well known fact that the quality of the coffee depends to a great extent
of the manner and method in which it is torrefyed or roasted.
The best kind of coffee beans can be spoiled by improper roasting while on the
other hand coffee of inferior description, even coffee substitutes may be considerably
improved by a suitable roasting operation. Hitherto no method existed whereby a
constant, uniform and pure product could be obtained, that is to say, a product
having a superior taste and being of uniform composition and of good quality.
The process hereinafter described solves the problem in the following manner :
The roasting of coffee, of coffee extract or coffee substitutes is carried on in
suitable cylinders or other roasting devices with the addition of tannic acid to
which saccharine solution and vegetable fat may also be added the whole being
raised to a suitable temperature until all the aqueous component parts are evaporated
and the roasted product has become thoroughly uniform.
In this way coffee of very superior quality can be obtained. Its special advantages
are purity and constancy in quality.
The cylinders wherein the roasting is carried on will be sheathed so as to retain
the liquid and the ends may be open at the centre part around the end bearings of
the axle trunnions.
Again the trunnions (one or both) may be hollow so that the steam from evaporation
may be discharged thereout.
The torrefying may be carried on until no steam is emitted and the material cau
bê inspected for completion of the process; for which purpose a gap fitted
with a slide or other suitable cover may be provided in the sheathing of the
cylinder.
The quantities of the different ingredients may vary, as for instance :-
The coffee may be from
tannic acid
sugar

Improvements in or connected with Rotary-cam-pump.
I, DAVID MORELL, Master Locksmith of Cassel (Germany) Wilhelmshöher-
Allée 37, 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 a cam-pump constructed in the style of the well
known rotary pumps and fitted with packing which can be regulated by steel plates
which are inserted in a peculiar manner, and arranged in such a way that they can
be applied to those parts which are most liable to wear.
In the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 shows a lateral section of the body of the pump;
Fig. 2 a section on line X-X through cam and shaft and
Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the pump.
In the casing c there are two cross-shaped cams A, fixed on to the shafts K.
The inlet is formed to a valve box for the ball valve f, and fitted with the screw e,
and the outlet h, is also in the centre of the pump and can be extended by means
of the hose-connection h, and socket screw g.
On each blade of the revolving cams a plate a, is fixed by means of a hole l,
and screw in such a manner that the lower side of the plate forms one side of the
dovetail-shaped groove b, which contains the packing. The latter is chosen
preferably a little thicker than the size of the groove when the plate a, is quite
screwed down.
When the screws in the holes 7, of the blades are screwed tighter, the dovetail-
shaped groove grows smaller, and the packing material which may advantageously
consist of leather, is squeezed out, thus tightening up the packing.
In addition to this the plates a, are situated on such parts of the blades which
are most exposed to wear, thus preventing the blades from being worn out too
3oon.
This pump can be used both for pumping liquids or air, at will.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inveu-
ion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
:-
A rotary pump with cums of a cross-shaped section fitted with an adjustable
olate (a) on each blade in such a manner that the lower surface of the plates form
one side of a dovetail-shaped groove (b), which contains the packing for the
purpose of squeezing out the packing, by screwing-down the plates and thus
ightening up the packing.

I, JACQUES MEYER, of 27 Rue du Colisée Paris, in the Republic of France,
Saddler, 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 an improved pneumatic horse collar, both sides of which
are furnished with inflatable pockets or chambers which are connected so that they
can be simultaneously inflated.
I am aware that it has been heretofore proposed to provide horse collars with
inflatable pockets or cushions but the constructions have been such that when the
cushions become deflated through leakage it is necessary to separate the mounting
of the collar in order to re-inflate them.
My improved horse collar is so constructed that the dismounting of the same is
unnecessary when inflation is required, it being sufficient for this purpose to pump
in the air through a fitting having passages that communicate with the two pockets
or cushions.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates my improved collar
Figure 1 is a central section through both sides of the collar.
Figure 2 is a section through one side of the collar.
Figure 3 a transverse section on the lines x, x Figures 1 and 2.
A denotes the wall of the collar, and B, B the inflatable pockets or cushions
preferably of india rubber placed therein one in each side of the collar.
Each pocket is furnished with an inflating tube a and both of said tubes
communicate with a common inlet passage b, arranged in the head of the collar.
The said passage b is provided with an inflating non-return or other valve at c in
the head of the collar. Owing to this construction one can easily inflate the two
pockets simultaneously when required.
Moreover as the pockets communicate with each other by the tubes a a, they will
always be inflated to the same degree of pressure.
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 horse collar furnished with inflatable pockets or cushions communicating with
a common inlet passage substantially as described with reference to the drawings,-
and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Positive Plates for Secondary
Electrical Batteries.
I, CARL HUGO WEISE of Poessneck in the German Empire, 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 the preparation of the positive plates for secondary
electrical batteries and its object is to so treat them as to increase their hardness
and durability.
In carrying this invention into effect the plates coated with the lead oxide
are immersed in a bath of glycerine where they harden with the development of
considerable heat and gas. If the hot plates after this are placed in a solution of
dilute sulphuric acid having a specific gravity of 1.15 the hardness further
increases as long as gas is developed. Plates thus treated are easily formed and
have a high capacity in spite of their hardness.
Plates which are practically worn out and have porous surfaces may be
similarly treated and hardened.
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. In the manufacture of positive plates for secondary electrical batteries,
immersing the plates in a bath of glycerine substantially as and for the purpose
herein before described.
2. In the manufacture of positive plates for secondary electrical batteries,
treating the plates with glycerine and then with dilute sulphuric acid substantially
as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

An Improved Attachment for Braces, Knapsack Straps, and the like.
1, BURKHARD FREY, of Zizers, in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland,
Railway Official, 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 relates to a secure but easily detachable connection
between braces and trousers for which I employ a spring clip fastened to the
braces; which spring clip is inserted into an eye fixed to the band of the trousers,
and kept there by the action of the spring.
In the accompanying drawings ;-
Fig. 1 shows the clip inserted into the corresponding eye.
Fig. 2 another mode of constructing the eye.
Fig. 3 shows the method of use.
At the end of the loop of each brace strap a the spring clip is suspended, which
runs out in two diverging arms e, the ends of which are turned at right angles, first
in front then sideways to the right and left respectively so as to form the hooks d.
The eye e into which the hooks d are inserted consists of a round-bent wire with
two diverging parts f, the ends of which are bent inwards and pointed. The
fixing of the eye b is done in a very simple manner, by making a fold in the upper
part of the trousers and after bringing the fold between the points it is drawn
straight again, when the points g will enter the material and connect it firmly with
the eye.
Haneye hard by mening in to be used, the form of construction shown in Fig. 2
may be employed. This latter consists of a wire bent in figure 8 form; the upper
circle will serve to receive the hook d whilst the lower is to be sewn on to the
part of the trousers.
The connection and detachment of the clip and eye is done in the easiest manner
by pressing the spring arms e together and inserting or extracting the hooks & into
or from the eye b or respectively.
The above described invention may of course be used for other purposes, for
instance to fit knapsack straps to sword belts.
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 1
claim is
-
An improved means for attaching braces, knapsacks etc. consisting of an eye with
ring e diverging parts, and the opposite pointed ends y; and of a clip & to grip
into the eye fitted with spring arms having hook-formed ends, substantially
as described and shown in the drawings.
