IMPROVE- MENTS IN WIRES FOR PLANOFORTES OR OTHER STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Year: 1885

page_text: "
I, CARL HASSEL, Manufacturer of wire, and chains, Grünenthal near Letmathe,
German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN WIRES FOR PLANOFORTES OR OTHER STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
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 in the application in the place of steel core wires of round
section wrapped round with wire, of core wires of triangular, quadrangular, penta-
gonal or polygonal section. It is a material disadvantage of pianoforte wires
wrapped with wire, that the wire thus wound round easily gets displaced longi-
tudinally on the core wire, and can even be drawn off entirely.
In order to remove this deficiency, the inventor makes use of a steel-core wire of
triangular, square, pentagonal or polygonal section against the edges or corners of
which the wire that is wrapped round presses, which prevents the wrapped wire,
getting displaced or slipping off.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The application of core wire of triangular, quadrangular or polygonal section to
the construction of strings of pianofortes, and other stringed musical instruments.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN PULLEYS OR DRUMS FOR DRIVING MACHINERY
Year: 1885

page_text: I WILLIAM STEVENSON DOUGALL of The Cottage, Wellow in the County of
Nottingham Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN
IMPROVEMENT IN PULLEYS OR DRUMS FOR DRIVING MACHINERY" 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 prevent the straps or belts from slipping on
the pulleys or drums which they are driving.
My invention consists in covering the driving surfaces of the said pulleys or
drums with layers of strong brown or other suitable paper, coated or covered with
a solution of shellac in spirits of wine and ordinary brown varnish.
I find suitable proportions for this mixture or solution to be as follows:-to
every quart of spirits of wine, and pint of ordinary brown varnish I add two
pounds of shellac, but I do not wish to confine myself to these proportions which
may be varied considerably.
Ŏr instead of the above solution other mixtures of similar ingredients may be
used to cause the paper to adhere firmly, but I prefer the solution which I have
described as I find it the most suitable for the purpose.
Each layer should be placed carefully on the surface of the pulley or drum so as
to form a perfectly even covering which when dry is as solid as papier maché, and
so firmly does this covering adhere that in a few hours it becomes an inseparable
part of the pulley or drum.
The layers may be formed in some cases of one continuous length of coated
paper, rolled on to the pulley; or if the pulley or drum has a rounded or curved
face, the said layers should be put on in half pieces which will be more readily and
evenly fixed.thereon.
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
A pulley or drum for driving machinery having its periphery or driving surface
coated or covered with brown or other suitable paper substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.

page_text: I, MARTIN EGMONT COHN of Berlin in the Empire of Germany, Chemist, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described & ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to a process for treating vegetable spinning fibres and
consists in an artificial digestive process, which is obtained by treating, for
24 hours in a bath of water, containing weakly soured or alkaline acting pepsin,
and Pancreas, the dried stems or the bast freed from the wood of plants which
contain fibres, as for instance hemp, flax, etc, or the products obtained therefrom
in the form of threads, webs, etc, of the vegetable material and products of other
branches of industry, as for instance wood, in the manufacture of paper.
By means of this bath all gum, resin, and oil are dissolved, and are completely
removed by rinsing & drawing off of the same. When preparing the pepsin &
Pancreas liquids for such bath, the proportion of the employed material is about
1 to 1 kilo. of animal stomach to 50 kilo. weakly soured (tartaric acid) alkaline
acting. (soda, etc.) water.
The treatment takes place in a well known manner by leaving the animal
stomach in a reduced state for a few days in sour or alkaline water.
On account of treating the stuff & products contained in the vegetable fibres, by
this artificial digestive process, which causes the dissolving of gun, oil & resin, the
customary roasting process or boiling with alkaline is obviated and with less
expense, a material obtained which is absolutely free from oil or resin.
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
The process for the preparation or isolation of vegetable fibres, where a dissolution,
removal or extraction of resin, gum or oils, for industrial purposes, is required by
submitting the same to an artificial digestive process, effected during 24 hours by
the action of a weakly soured bath or baths, containing alkaline, pepsin, pancreas,
as set forth.
MENTS IN STEPS FOR BROUGHAMS, LANDAUS, AND OTHER VEHICLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, GEORGE THOMAS CHEETHAM of 135 Chapel Lane, Bradford in the County of
York, Coach Builder do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN STEPS FOR BROUGHAMS, LANDAUS, AND OTHER VEHICLES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention bas for its object the construction of steps for Broughams,
Landaus, and other vehicles in such a manner that slipping on the step is entirely
prevented, even in the most slippery weather, and consists in making the step in
two parts in the top portion of the step are placed grooves at intervals: into these
grooves I insert india rubber of the same section as the aforesaid grooves, preferably
of inverted V shape in order to fit rigidly therein. The upper portions of the
rubbers project above the metal and are held in position by the bottom portion of
the step, thereby giving a firm grip to the foot when treading upon the step and
thus preventing slipping.
The two parts of the step are made in metal' and are bolted together with two
bolts, each counter sunk at the top. When the india rubber projecting above the
metal top of the step is worn away or requires changing, the two parts are taken
from together and the india rubber changed. They are then re-bolted and the
step is again ready for use.
It will be readily seen that my improvements in Steps, although specially herein
described for carriages, is also applicable to all treads and for door mats.
I will further describe my invention by aid of the accompanying drawings in
which Fig. 1 represents a plan of the upper side of my improved step. Fig. 2 is a
plan of the under side and Fig. 3 is a section of the step through line a. b.
The top or upper plate of the step is indicated by the letter A, in which are
formed inverted V grooves into which I insert the india rubber B made preferably
of this shape, so as to fit compactly in the grooves. The rubber projects beyond
the face of the plate, thus giving a firmer grip to the feet and slipping is entirely
prevented. The under side or bottom plate of the step is indicated by letter E in
Fig. 2 and through both plates A and E are the openings or perforations D for
allowing the dust to fall through. The two plates are bolted together and supported
by an ordinary bracket secured to the vehicle.

page_text: 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
Steps for Broughams, Landaus, and other vehicles made in two parts, the upper
part having grooves therein for the reception of india rubber strips substantially.
in the manner and for the purpose herein described.

page_text: Improved Manufacture of Ink from Waste Dye Liquors.
I TOM FRUSHER of 6 Clarendon Villas, Trowbridge, Dyer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is the manufacture of ink from waste dye liquors.
For this purpose the spent liquor of Bichromate of Potash or soda which has
been used for mordanting wool and the like is run into a tank, as is also the spent
logwood liquor which has been used for dyeing. These liquors are boiled up for a
few hours about 3 per cent of sulphate of soda being preferably added when a
good ink will be found to have been produced, which when cool is run into barrels
for use.
The shade of colour and strength of the ink depend on the strength and
proportions of the spent liquors run into the tank and may be varied by varying
the proportions of the said liquors.
One of the most important properties of this ink is its fastness against exposure
and age, in fact the longer it is kept the blacker it will become, and another is
that it does not corrode the pen.
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 manufacture of ink from waste dve lianors.
AN OBLONG SYPHON NOISELESS WATER-WASTE PREVENTER CISTERN
Year: 1885

page_text: I, ABRAHAM EMANUEL 53, 55 & 57 Marylebone Lane London W., Sanitary
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN OBLONG SYPHON
NOISELESS WATER-WASTE PREVENTER CISTERN and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The principle of this Cistern is that it has no outlet Valve simply the Valve for
supply. The Syphon is of an Oblong form tapering to an ordinary round pipe
much larger at bottom to allow a greater force and body of Water. When the
Cistern is filled and the handle pulled the large square crusher A is brought down
the partition B over the inlet of Syphon C thus giving additional weight & force
to the water therein and with the larger supply at bottom of Syphon than at top
of same overcoming any obstruction of air or water left in it and insuring a
quicker and larger supply than if the Syphon was same width throughout. The
partition being placed so low down and the crusher being larger than usually made
it avoids splashing, and Rubber being put all round edges of crusher avoids noise
or grating. The crusher fits the compartment loosely to allow water to pass from
the cistern to the underside of the crusher.
⚫ On side of Cistern opposite the partition G there always remains a quantity of
Water as shown by bringing a pipe D from Supply Valve below top of this Water
it avoids the noise of filling. The Cistern is supplied by a Valve E to which a
float F hollow in centre, is attached, for rod to crusher to pass through thus.
reducing size of Cistern that would otherwise be necessary if used with an ordinary
Ball.
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 form of Syphon made oblong at inlet for quicker & larger supply,
substantially as described in the specification.
2. The partition in Cistern being placed low down to avoid splashing, sub-
stantially as described in the specification.

page_text: 3. The crusher having Rubber round edges and the pipe running down from
supply always being in water causes action of Cistern in filling or emptying
noiseless, substantially as described in the specification.
4. The float being hollow in centre enables me to make the Cistern smaller
than can otherwise be done by an ordinary Ball, substantially as described in the
specification.

JOHN HEMENS Ironmonger 295 New Kent Road London We do hereby declare
the nature of an invention for IMPROVED SAWS FOR CUTTING WOOD 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 construction or Manufacture of Improved saws of
every kind used in cutting wood.
And in order that the Invention may be clearly defined and our Specification fully
understood we refer to the anexed sheet of illusteration drawings on which the
same letter indicates the same parts in all the figures.
Figure 1. 2. 3 & 4 are drawings of different kind of saws used in cutting wood.
According to the invention the saws are made with holes A of a suitable size
pierced in the plate or blade of the saw at convenient distances from each other
according to the dimensions of the saw and preferabley near the centre of the blade
except in the case of circular saws where the same should be preferably about
equdistant from the centre of circumference.
By means of thease holes a current of air which acts as a lubricant for the saw
is carried into the cut and the dust which collects in the holes as the saw passes
through the wood is expelled thus reducing the friction and keeping the saw cool
by which the saw is more efficient and economey is effected in the motive power
required to work it.
The saws also by this method requires less set on the tooth then those hitherto
used and concequently do not waste so much wood in cutting.
Having now particularized and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the said is to be performed we declare that what we claim is
The use of holes in the plates or blades of Saws for cutting wood simular to A^ in
the manner substantially as herein before described and illusterated.

CONSTRUCTION OF VOLTAIC BATTERIES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, ACHILLES KHOTINSKY of No 07 Maaskade, Rotterdam Holland, Engineer,
do hereby doclare the nature of my invention for "CONSTRUCTION OF VOLTAIC
BATTERIES" and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In the specification to Khotinsky's Patent No 5540 of 1883 is described a
construction of secondary voltaic batteries.
The present invention relatos to an improved construction whereby greater
simplicity and efficiency are obtained, batteries according to the novel construction
about to be described being available either as primary or secondary batteries.
The battery may consist of any number of superposed trays, one of which with its
electrodes, I will describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective plan of the tray and its partitions, fig. 2 is a transverse
section and fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the tray with its electrodes in place.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view to an enlarged scale, shewing the mode of connecting
the alternate bars, and fig. 5 is a perspective view to a still larger scale of one
of those bars. The tray which may be of wood or other suitable material has its
two sides A higher than its two ends B and is divided into parallel compartments
by partitions Clower than B. In each compartment is placed one of the bars D
which is cast in lead or other suitable metal with ribs projecting upwards and
presenting a large surface, and holes through the ribs. The bar D is somewhat
lower than the partitions C, but at one end it has an upwardly projecting flange &
forming a connection to a bar E which extends along the end B of the tray and is
soldered to or otherwise electrically connects together all the alternate bars D.
There is a bar E at each end of the tray, the one connecting the 1st, 3rd, 5th &c
of the bars D, and the other connecting the 2nd, 4th, 6th &c, and on these bars are
fixed the two terminals e of the cell or element constituted by the tray.
When the battery is stationary so that there is no risk of displacing the lead
castings, the separating ribs in the tray may be dispensed with, care being taken to
place the alternate lead bars sufficiently far apart.

page_text: 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 construction of voltaic battery, substantially as herein described and illus-
trated by the accompanying drawings.

:-
My invention consists in a process for oxidizing or bleaching liquids by means
of manganate of barium, calcium or strontium.
If manganate of barium (Mn O, Ba) in the shape of a fine green powder, such
as may be obtained by precipitation, is brought together with oxidizable matter, it
casily gives off oxygen and is thereby converted into Mn O, Ba. In the
combination Mn O, Ba, the manganese and barium are rapidly precipitated as
a brown powder, which may be easily separated from the bleached or oxidized
liquid.
The liberated oxygen attacks the oxidizable matter, thereby bleaching vegetable
colours, and converting for instance yellow prussiate of potash into red prussiate.
The use of manganate of barium (also called barie manganate) as a bleaching
agent offers the following advantages.
1. The bleaching may be effected without the use of acids, and even in
ammoniacal or other alkaline liquids, which can be done with very few other
bleaching agents.
2, The regeneration of the manganate of barium from the brown compound
Mn O, Ba is extremely simple. It is effected by strongly heating it, with the
admission of air, and with or without stirring. Oxygen is thereby taken up from
the air so as to reproduce the original compound Mn O Ba or manganate of
barium.
Even solid bodies, such as textile materials or fabrics, may be bleached indirectly
by manganate of barium, by treating them with a solution of red prussiate of
potash or such like, and after having produced yellow prussiate by reduction.
converting the latter again into red prussiate by boiling with manganate of
barium.

page_text: 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 of manganate of barium as an oxidizing or bleaching agent.
2. The recovery of the manganate of barium from the compound Mn O, Ba by
heating with the admission of air.
3. The use of the corresponding compound of calcium or strontium for the same
purpose as indicated under claim 1.
TOOL FOR TURNING SEGMENTS OF SPHERES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES CHRISTOPHER ELLISON of The Manse, Bracebridge, in the County of
Lincoln, Clerk in Holy Orders do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"TOOL FOR TURNING SEGMENTS OF SPHERES" 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 tool whereby from a block of material I can turn with
little waste a hemisphere or other spherical segment leaving in the block a corre-
sponding hollow. By employing a succession of such tools suited to different
radii I can from a block of material turn a number of shells of graduated sizes and
of various thicknesses. Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a sectional plan of
a block A partly cut by a tool B according to my invention, Fig. 2 being a side
view and Fig. 3 a transverse section of the tool. The tool B is a blade of steel
curved both in plan and in section to the radius of the cut which it is intended to.
make. It is fixed at one end into a tool holder C which may be of any suitable
kind, but which is preferably made as shewn with a socket into which the shank of
the tool is inserted and in which it is held by a setting screw D. By making the
shank of the tool a good fit to the socket I ensure its being accurately replaced
after having been removed to be sharpened or otherwise treated.
The holder C is fixed in a circular slide rest the pivot of which is arranged on
the bed of the lathe coincident or nearly so with the vertical face of the block A
which is fixed on the lathe chuck. On causing the block A to revolve while the
tool B is made to advance in its circular path a spherical parting cut is effected as
indicated in Fig. 1. The tool may considerably exceed a quadrant in length, and
the shell cut out by it may therefore exceed a hemisphere. By fixing the pivot of
the rest more or less in advance of the face of A the segment cut out may be made
less than a hemisphere. The cutting edge at b is made to suit the nature of the
material operated on; in some cases I make the tool present several cutting edges
like saw teeth, taking care that the breadth of the cut shall always somewhat
exceed the thickness of the blade of the tool, so as to give clearance. By employing
successive tools of different radii, a succession of shells can be cut from one block
as indicated by Fig. 4.

page_text: 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 herein described construction of tool for turning segments of spheres, in the
manner set forth.

Clerk, London & North Western Railway Company do hereby declare the nature
of the said invention for A RAILWAY COUPLING and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
This system I claim, which is remarkable for its simplicity, there being no
Mechanism to get out of order; is a simple, and effective means for coupling trucks
together, from the outside; one of its chief features being that by the buffers being
placed in the centre, and two draw-bars instead of one on the outsides in the place
of the present buffers it will not be possible for men to get caught between them,
thus preventing a great number of accidents.
The present style of chain can be used, and being crossed all that will have to
be done will be to lift the chain off, and hook it on the other truck and vice versa.
(A to B, and B to A) to connect, or disconnect the trucks.
The draw-bars being made with a curve instead of a straight (as now) will allow
them to draw to suit the chains being crossed.
_ 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. Its perfect simplicity, and preventive of accidents.
2. There being no buffers on the outside a man cannot possibly be crushed in
coupling, it also being a very convenient position to couple from and it matters
not in what position the truck stands, that from which it will be most convenient
you can couple, and always from the outside.
3. If a draw-bar breaks, by their being two as in my system there will be an
additional safeguard against accidents.

IMPROVEMENTS IN MALT COCOA
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JOHN WILLIAM CONSTANTINE MOELLER, of Belgrave House, Ilkley, in the
County of York, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
* IMPROVEMENTS IN MALT COCOA" to be as follows:-
•
This invention relates to certain improvements in the combination of malt
and cocoa whereby a powder is produced without any beating process, to which
when added hot milk or water a wholesome nutritious and digestive beverage is
the result.
I carry out my improvement in the following manner;
I first produce the flour of malt by crushing the malt and obtaining the flour
through sieving as in ordinary milling. I then combine this flour of malt, with
flour of cocoa nibs with a small proportion of fine crushed white lump sugar, in,
the following proportions or thereabouts; 4 parts of cocoa, 3 parts of the flour of
malt and 1 part of the flour of sugar,

page_text: I, JOHN WILLIAM CONSTANTINE MOELLER, of Belgrave House, Ilkley, in the
County of York, Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN MALT COCOA' 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 certain improvements in the preparation and combination
of malt and cocoa, in such a manner, that when the compound is added to hot milk
or water, a wholesome nutritious beverage is produced which refreshes, invigorates
and nourishes the body, and strengthens the digestive organs.*
I carry out my improvement in the following manner:-I produce the flour of
malt by crushing the malt by any well known means to a fine powder, and
separating the flour from the husks by sieving it through a fine meshed sieve,
somewhat as in ordinary milling. I then combine the flour of malt with flour of
cocoa nibs prepared from the choicest growths of cocoa, and with the superfluous
oil extracted in the usual manner.
I find that a good and beneficial result is obtained by combining the ingredients
in the proportion of about four parts of flour of cocoa to three parts of flour of
malt, but I do not confine myself to the exact proportions, as the same may be
varied without departing from the nature of my invention.
To this combination may be added a small proportion of sugar to sweeten the
same the malt cocoa is then placed in packets and used in the same manner as
ordinary cocoa.
.
By dispensing with the usual heating processes and preparing the compound in
the manner described, the dietetic, digestive and nutritious qualities of the same are
unimpaired, thereby preserving the medicinal and nourishing qualities so desirable
by those suffering of weak digestion and general debility.
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 of crushed flour of malt and cocoa with or without flour of
sugar, for the purpose herein before set forth.
