An Improved Butter Making Apparatus, applicable to other
purposes.
I, ALBERT ROEBELEN, Merchant of Kronbergstrasse 12, Stuttgart in the
Empire of 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 subject of the following invention is a butter making machine for household
use which produces butter in a very short time and in a very perfect manner, is
moreover in a handy form which can be easily used and is at the same time
applicable for whipping the white of eggs the frothing of chocolate or for other
similar operations in the cooking or preparation of food or other fluid materials.
The aforesaid machine is represented in the accompanying drawing--
Figure 1 being a side elevation and Figure 2 a cross section on the line 1-1
Figure 1.
The vessel which receives the cream to be made into butter is advantageously of
glass and in the form of the flask a which may advantageously taper upwards.
This flask a is closed by a tinned sheet iron or other suitable cover which is held
tightly against the neck of the flask by an india rubber ring.
For agitating the cream the four paddle wheels d d'ff' are used of which a d'
are fastened to the hollow shaft e and ff' to the shaft
9.
Both shafts go through the cover of the flask a and both the shafte is driven
(by the toothed wheel which is fixed to same) and the shaft g is driven (by the
toothed wheel i fixed on the upper end of g) by means of the toothed wheel k which
at the same time serves as a flywheel.
Both shafts being driven by the same toothed wheel the paddle wheels blades or
beaters d d and the paddle wheels blades or beaters ff respectively turn in
opposite directions by which means the most perfect mixing and churning of the
cream or other ingredient is effected.
It will be evident that the above described apparatus may be used for the
whipping of eggs and the frothing of chocolate and for mixing or beating other
materials.
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 machine for making butter and for the like purposes consisting of the
combination with a vessel such as a of the paddle wheels blades or beaters d d'
and which respectively rotate in pairs in the opposite direction which paddle
wheels or beaters are driven by the driving toothed wheels handi by the toothed
wheel k serving as a fly wheel substantially in the manner and for the purposes
hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

An Improved Hair Curling Device.
I LOUISA WILKINSON of 33 Church Street Trowbridge in the County of
Wiltshire Dealer in Fancy Goods 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 device for curling the hair of the head, and
has for its object an efficient means for curling without singeing, discolouring or
otherwise injuring the hair.
For the purpose of more clearly illustrating my invention I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation, Figure 2 a plan and Figure 3 a section of my improved
device.
In carrying my invention into effect, I construct an iron A Fig. 3 having one end
thereof turned or otherwise formned smaller than the other, in the centre of said
iron I secure, by means of a rivet pin or equivalent, a clip B in such a manner
that it is capable of being turned or rotated on said pin carrying with it a second
clip & said clip being for the purpose of retaining the hair while the iron is rotated
by the hand. Two sheaths or cases of brass or like metal C C are provided for
the purpose of keeping the hair from coming into direct contact with the iron when
heated. A ring of bone, ivory or like nonconducting material c is introduced on
one side of the iron between the case or sheath C and the clip B for the purpose
of preventing the heat travelling from one side of the iron to the other and burning
the hand. The clip B may be either secured directly to the iron or it may be
secured to a collar or the like as shewn.
The modus operandi is as follows:-
The sheath is withdrawn from the end of the iron desired to be used, and the
clip B turned at right angles thereto; the iron is then heated in any desired manner
and the case or sheath is then replaced, on coming into contact with the heated
iron the sheath also becomes heated but not sufficiently to burn or otherwise
injure the hair. The clip B may then be replaced and the operation of curling
proceeded with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved hair curling device as herein described and set forth and shewn in
the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Tracheotomy Tubes.
I, ERNST HARTSTEIN, of Göppingen, in the Kingdom of Würtemburg and
German Empire, Doctor of Medicine, 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 apparatus for use in tracheotomy, and consists of
improvements in the tubes whereby air is admitted to the lungs when the throat
is closed by croup, diphtheria or other cause; its principal object being to enable
the inner or the outer tube, either independently of the other, to be changed with
safety and ease.
In the accompanying drawings, which serve to illustrate my invention,
Fig. 1 is a front view of the plate for supporting the two tubes; Fig. 2 being a
vertical section shewing the tubes attached to the plate. Fig. 3 is a side view of
the outer tube and its appurtenances; Fig. 4 being a corresponding front view.
Figs. 5 and 6 are similar views of the inner tube.
A is a plate curved to the shape of the neck, and intended to be placed in position
over the incision next the skin. In the centre of the plate is a hole a, and on the
outer or convex side are two small hooks and eyes which are employed for
fastening the tubes B and C, after insertion in the throat, to the plate A. The
tubes B and C are curved; the tube C being made to slide into the tube B.
The latter is furnished at its top or outer end with a guard B' provided, first, with
two wire loops y whereby the tube may be removed from the throat, secondly, with
a revolving catch e on the left-hand side for keeping the tube C in position when
placed inside the tube B, and, thirdly, with small arms f, one on each side, for
enabling the hooks band the plate A to hold the tube fast to the plate. The inner
tube C is also fitted with a similar guard C, connected to the tube by a tongue n
and provided with two wire loops h, a catch d on the right-hand side for preventing
the tube C slipping down the tube B, and arms f. The tube B is formed with a
slot i running along its lower side. When removing the tube B, the slot i slides
over the tongue n; the one tube thus helping to guide the other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
1. The improved apparatus for use in tracheotomy constructed substantially as
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. The herein-described apparatus for use in tracheotomy, and comprising two
tubes arranged one within the other and each independently removable; extremities
of the tubes being respectively attached to plates extending radially in opposite
directions, said plates being provided with means whereby they may be fastened to
one another or to a cover-plate common to both.

Improvements relating to Shoes for Horses and other Animals.
I, JULIUS SCHILLING, of 13 Rollner Strasse, Nürnberg, Germany, 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 has for object, the manufacture of bars or rods suitable for the
making of shoes for horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, and cattle generally from a
combination of aluminium and other metals, say, copper, iron, steel, or brass, or
other alloy in desired quantities according to circumstances, and the kind of animal
the shoes are intended for, whether the work performed by them be light or
henvy,
The composition may be half aluminium, and half copper, or other metal, and
the quantity of either can be so changed that in some cases the aluminium or the
alloying metal may largely predominate, or as I have found in practice shoes made
of pure aluminium answer the purpose for light weights of shoe.
As examples of the quantity employed, say for ;
1. Carriage horses, carriage mules, and donkeys; shoes made of 100 parts of
aluminium alloyed with 1 to 20 parts of copper, brass, iron, steel, or any other metal
or metals.
2. For cart horses and mulos also oxen; 100 parts of aluminium alloyed with
20 to 50 parts of any other metal or metals.
3. For heavy draught horses, mules, oxen; 100 parts of aluminium alloyed with
50 parts upwards of any other metal or metals,
General light shoeing, such as for race horses, trotting horses, ponies, and other
like animals, comes under head 1, as also for fine dairy cattle &c.
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 ]
claim is;
The employment of aluminium in combination with another, or other metals in
the manufacture of shoes for animals, the quantity of aluminium being dependent
on the lightness and weight of shoe and condition of work it has to perform; or the
class of animal to which it has to be fitted,

A Letter Card for Postal Purposes.
I, FRANK MELVILLE MERRIDEW of No. 60 Rue Victor Hugo, Boulogne-
sur-Mer, in the Republic of France, Bookseller, 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 correspondence letter cards with instructions and stamps
for postage printed or impressed thereon combined with means for sealing the same,
and consists essentially in manufacturing in one piece a card which can be used both
as a means for writing a communication to be sent by post a portion of which is
detachable and can be used for the purpose of sending a reply.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood 1 append a sheet of
drawings in order to fully explain the same.
Figure 1 shows one side of a letter reply card to be used for inland com-
munications.
Figure 2 shows the reverse side of same.
Figure 3 shows one side of a letter reply card to be used for foreign com-
inunications.
Figure 4 shows the reverse side of same.
Figure 5 shows in perspective the method of folding the letter reply cards.
A A' is the card which has suitable perforations near its edges of the character
of those already employed in postal communications and which I have indicated
by dot and dash lines. BB' indicates the parts of the card which are coated with
an adhesive substance for sealing the letter card which I have indicated by a series
of dotted lines at an angle.
The folding parts of the card are indicated by single dotted lines as at C and C¹.
When a card is used the smaller or reply part of the card is folded over (see
Figure 5) and covers the communication written on the letter card and when the
card is further folded on folding lines C¹ and secured by the gummed edges B, the
letter is completely secured from inspection and the part A becomes enclosed in
part A.
The reply card is detached from the other part by tearing it in the direction of
the folding line C. Part of this line is perforated as shown at each end to facilitate
its removal. So that the card may lie flat when folded I remove a small portion at
the junction of the folds near the centre of the card.
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 letter card for postal purposes substantially as described.

Improvements in Castors.
We JOHN FREDERICK ORGAN of Great Bridge Tipton Licensed Victualler
and WILLIAM RILEY of Charles Street West Bromwich Moulder both in the
County of Stafford do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 improvements in castors and applies particularly
to that kind known as "ball castors" by which means such castors may be made in
malleable iron and consequently much cheaper while at the same time they work
much more freely than hitherto.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice we have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which we have fully illustrated the nature of our said improvements.
Figure 1 is a vertical section through one of my castors with the ball removed.
Figure 2 is an inverted plan of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a similar to Figure 2 but which the ball in position.
Figure 4 is a vertical cross section through a similar castor but shewing a
modification.
Figure 5 is an inverted plan of same.
Figure 6 is a vertical section shewing the application of our improved castor to
iron steads.
Figure 7 is a vertical section shewing a further modification.
Figure 8 is an inverted plan of same.
In carrying our invention into effect we cast the seat A of the ball B with the
projecting studs a¹ thereby reducing the friction and at the same producing a better
seating for the ball. We also cast this seating separately from the outside casing E
which is made to fit the seating piece A so as to leave the ball with perfect freedom
to work. The outer casing E may be attached to the seating piece B in any
suitable manner such for instance as the screw a between the two or the ordinary
screw holes for attachment may be arranged so that fixing screws would also retain
the two parts together. We may vary the projecting studs in shape to any extent
or we may cast steel balls a' in the scating as shewn at Figures 4 & 5 or we may
provide separate balls a³ as shewn at Figures 7 & 8.

A New or Improved Process of Decorating Tiles and other Artioles
of Earthenware.
We, JOHN WADE and WILLIAM WADE of the firm of J. & W. Wade & Co.,
of the Flaxman Art Tile Works, Burslem and HARRY WALLACE of the same
address, 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 relates to tiles and other articles of earthenware and consists of a
new process of decoration.
In carrying out our invention as applied to tiles we mould the tile in the usual
way but by a specially prepared plate or die which produces on the surface of the tile
an embossed or raised pattern corresponding say to the outline of flowers:or other
figures of decoration.
We then apply either by dipping or by means of a brush coloured "slips" or
clays "suited to the subject of the decoration to the surface of the tile the raised
pattern being covered by the coloured "slips."
After being allowed to dry the coloured slips or clays are then scraped away
until the embossed outline of the pattern is exposed to view which produces the
desired ornamentation with the coloured slips in between the raised outline. By the
tile being made of different coloured materials a variety of patterns or decorations
may be produced.
The essential feature of our invention is the application of the coloured slips or
clays afterwards scraped away to expose the embossed outline of the decoration.
Our improvements may be applied to vases and other articles of earthenware
decorated similarly to a tile.
The tiles are fired after the colored slips are scraped away.
Having thus 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 tile or other article of earthenware with an embossed or raised pattern
covered with coloured slips or clays which are afterwards scraped away to expose
the embossed pattern substantially as set forth.

Receptacles.
EDWIN SMITH BOOCOCK of 15 South End Street Leeds Road Bradford in
the County of York Tin Plate Worker 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 consists in forming the bottoms of sliver cans, buckets and other
similar receptacles, of buffalo hide, leather or other similar material, in place of the
ordinary metal bottoms.
To carry out my invention I employ a similar supporting ring at the bottom of
the can, bucket, or other similar receptacle to the one hitherto used. Over the top
of this ring and between the internal periphery of the tin or sheet-iron can, I pass
the sheet of buffalo hide, leather or other similar material in place of the ordinary
metal bottom, this being much more durable.
The buffalo hide is held in position, by being wedged between the bottom ring
and the inside of the bottom of the can.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation of part of a sliver can, and-
Fig. 2 represents a plan of the bottom of the can.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in each figure.
The outside of the can or receptacle is represented at A, such can having a
ring C placed inside & at the bottom of the can.
Between the outside of this
ring C and the inside of the can A. I wedge the ends or outside part of buffalo
hide, leather, or other similar material, which has previously been cut to the
necessary shape.
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
1st. In sliver cans, buckets, or other similar receptacles, forming the bottoms, of
buffalo hide, leather, or other similar material as substantially described and
represented in the accompanying drawings.
