An Improved Medicinal Food.
I, ANDREW DAVIDSON MCKAY, Syrup Refiner, 13 York Street, Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, 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 to produce a food which while containing all the
substances required to support life and to form bone and muscle shall be capable of
assimilation by the most feeble infant or exhausted invalid.
As is well known foods in general use contain but small portions of some
nutrients while containing an excess of others so that in order to obtain a sufficient
amount of essential nutriment of all kinds more food is apt to be taken than can be
assimilated and dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach result.
Now food prepared according to my invention contains all necessary nutrient
substances mixed together in such proportions as to enable the whole to be easily
assimilated by infants adults or invalids no undue proportion of any ingredients
being present.
According to this invention I take of the following ingredients in powder :–
and thoroughly mix the same by any suitable means such as a mixing machine and
when mixed the compound is ready for use.
In some special cases to suit invalids I may if necessary vary the proportions of
the above ingredients or some of them but a food prepared from the above
substances in the proportions stated will be found most generally suitable for
infants, adults and invalids.
The combination of dextrine and pepsine not only supplies the system with the
nutrient carbo-hydrates contained in the dextrine but it becomes a very active
agent in digesting the carbo-hydrates and albumenoids contained in common foods.
The proportion of albumen I employ supplies the proper quantity of albumen
without compelling feeble digestive organs to obtain the same from stronger foods.
The hypophosphites not only promote formation of bone, muscle, nervous tissue
and brain substance but also contribute to the nutrition of the blood.
Food prepared according to this invention may be administered to babies mixed
with milk, to adults or young persons in soup broth or in a little cold water drunk
at meal times.

page_text: 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 medicinal food prepared from the ingredients hereinbefore mentioned in or
about the proportions above set forth.

CHRISTOPHER PILKINGTON, Artist 27 Hamfrith Road, Stratford London, E.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in hinging together two or more laths or pieces of metal
and also cutting and hinging them crosswise according to the number of folds
required. When the laths, &c. lie flat, they will readily fold at the cross hinges.
But when turned, lengthways, at right angles to one another they become one rigid
girder, as the cross hinges can only give in different directions and so hold them
firm. For light work two laths &c. only are required.

statement:
My invention consists in hinging together lengthwise two or more laths, or suitable
pieces of metal. Then cutting them across, according to the number of folds
required, and hinging them crosswise. When the laths etc., are laid flat they will
readily fold at the cross hinges. But when set at right angles to one another,
which may be done automatically by springs, or not, as desired, the whole becomes
a rigid girder, consequent upon the cross hinges, only being able to give in different
directions.

Fig. I shews the laths or pieces of metal hinged together and laid flat, with one
end partially folded, A being hinged lengthwise, and B cross hinges.
Fig. II shews the laths etc., placed at right angles, making a rigid girder, on
account of the cross hinges B being only able to give in different directions to one
another.
Figs. III & IV shew arrangement when more than two laths are used.
For light work only two are required.
It must be understood that the word lath in the description is used to clearly

Improvements in Galvanic Batteries.
I, GUSTAVE ADOLPHE SCHOTH, of 230 Euston Road, in the County of London,
Electrical Instrument Maker 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 improvements relate specially to the class of batteries known as dry batteries,
or batteries in which the exciting liquid is contained by an absorbent or bibulous "
material.
In carrying out my invention, instead of gypsum, "cofferdam" or such like
substances hitherto used, I employ according to my invention dried compressed
moss generally known as "sphagnum," as hereafter described, for containing or
immobilising the exciting liquid.
To make a galvanic element according to my invention I provide a box cylinder
of sheet zinc which I amalgamate in the inside; one end of the cylinder I preferably
close with a paraffined wood stopper forming the bottom of the cell; on the outside
of the zinc cylinder I paste or glue or otherwise conveniently secure a covering of
calico or canvas, which when dry is varnished or japanned or otherwise rendered
waterproof and insulating by any suitable means. Inside the zinc box or cylinder
I fit a cylinder or tube of compressed moss, preferably made by rolling a piece of
compressed moss sheet round a mandrel of the required size. In the space or
cavity left in the centre of the cylinder or tube of moss I pack or place the
depolarising substance round a carbon or metallic plate wire or rod forming the
positive pole of the element, the zinc forming the negative. To set the element in
action it is only necessary to moisten the moss with the exciting liquid which may
be varied according to the depolarising substance used.
The advantages obtained by using the compressed moss as an absorbent material
is that it is very light, expands considerably by moistening, and is capable of
containing or absorbing a large quantity of liquid.
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. In galvanic batteries, the use of moss as an absorbent material for containing
or immobilising the exciting liquid substantially as described.
2. In galvanic batteries the use of a zinc box or cylinder lined externally with
calico or other suitable fabric rendered waterproof and insulating, in and by the
means hereinbefore described.
3. In galvanic batteries composed of an external zinc box or cylinder covered
with a fabric rendered waterproof and insulating, the combination therewith of
moss as an absorbent material for containing or fixing the exciting liquid and for
holding in proper position the depolarising substance employed therewith sub-
stantially as described.

or liquid through orifice at C which is then hermetically closed. The appliance
being heated and ready for use is held by the handle D and the heated body passed
over the nap or felt of the hat with the necessary pressure like a smoothing iron.
The heat produces polish and smoothness and the pressing with a soft material
prevents tearing of the hair.
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 renovating silk or felt hats by passing over them with a
certain pressure a hollow body partly rounded off or curved and charged with
a hot liquid, hot gas or other heating agent, the hollow body being covered with
plush, fur or other soft material, substantially as described with reference to the

Improvements in Pincers, Scissors, and the like.
1, PAUL HENGER of 20 Kronprinzenstrasse, Stuttgart, in the Empire of
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:-
This invention has for its purpose to allow pincers, scissors and the like,
especially surgical instruments, to be taken to pieces and recomposed in a simple
manner in order to allow of a thorough cleaning or sharpening of the single parts
of the instrument.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Figs. 1 to 6 illustrate a simple pair of pincers with the improvement applied
thereto. The two halves A and B are not as usual, held firmly together by a pin.
but one half A has a pin a screwed or rivetted into the same and having its free
end shaped in the manner of a rivet head. The other half B has in lieu of a hole a
slot by which it can be shifted over the pin a of the half A. In order to allow
the two halves of the pincers to be taken asunder or put together only in a certain
position (as shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 2) the half B provided with slot, has on
its inner side a crosswise arranged shallow cut of the width o! the half A, while
the slot bis conically widened to the outside. Thereby, after the two halves B
and A have been put together in the manner shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 2, the
rivet head-like thickening of the pin a is pressed into the conic widening of
slot and prevents the falling or taking asunder of the halves as long as they
are not again given the position shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
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:
A pair of pincers, scissors or similar instrument consisting of two loose halves
adapted to be taken to pieces and recomposed and characterised by the one
half (B) having a slot (6) with outward conic widening and a cut (6) which, in a
certain position of the two halves, allows the half (B) provided with slot to be
shifted into the half (A) having a pivot (a) thickened at the top, and in any other
position of the two halves prevents the same from falling or being taken asunder,
substantially as set forth.

Crank Shaft Governor.
I, FRANCO Tosi of Legnano, Italy, 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:-
Referring to the accompanying drawing which gives two views of the crank
shaft governor of this invention, the excentrice is cast in one piece with a
circular disc d which itself is free to turn round a centre e at some distance from
centre of crank shaft. This movement is produced according as the centrifugal
force of counterweight Gaugments or decreases with regard to tension of spring H
and is transmitted from counterweight G to disc d by means of link 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
1. A crank shaft governor with one single counterweight and one single spring
substantially as described and shewn.
2. For effecting the change of position of excentric, a circular disc cast in one
piece with excentric, turning on a centre 6, substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in the Construction of Card Rollers for Wool and
other Fibrous Substances.
We, HENRY WALTON WHITEHEAD, CHARLES WHITEHEAD and JOHN
HENRY WHITEHEAD, all of the firm of Taylor, Wordsworth and Company,
Water Lane, Leeds, in the County of York, Machine Makers, 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 our invention is to construct the card rollers for wool and other
fibrous substances, so as to render them much lighter in weight without reducing
the strength thereof, whereby carding and other machines using such rollers require
less power to drive them than hitherto.
The accompanying drawing shews longitudinal section of a roller constructed in
accordance with our invention.
For the above purpose we form the roller from a thin steel tube as shewn at A.
turned on the periphery to the required size.
At each end and within this tube A which forms the roller, we provide the screw
thread B and into each end is screwed a metal cap C, each cap having been cast
onto short shafts D arranged so as to run in ordinary bearings, such shafts being
used instead of the continuous shaft which passes through the roller usually
employed.
When the caps C are brought into position, shewn in drawing, they may be fixed
by pins or set screws E.
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 arrangemeut construction and combination of the various parts forming the
card roller for wool and other fibrous substances, substantially as and for purposes
herein set forth.

I JAMES HENRY HEATHMAN of 2 Endell Street London, W.C. Ladder
Maker 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:-
Having found it impossible in confined situations to make use of a self supporting
ladder with a double leg I have invented and constructed a ladder having only one
leg for its support and proved it to be of great utility because the single leg can be
placed in an angle or between furniture or other goods which for want of space.
would not admit a double leg. See accompanying drawing.
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 attachment of a single leg to a ladder to render it self supporting and
able to be used in situations which would not accommodate a ladder having a
doublo 'leg.

Apparatus for the Protection of Shirt-collar against the Creeping-up
of Coat-collar.
1, PHILIPP BERGES, Journalist, Marktstrasse 38, St. Pauli, Hamburg, 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 shape and exact size of the above named apparatus is shown by sketch A
on the accompanying drawing-sheet. The apparatus is to be made of tin-plate and
bent to the shape, which is illustrated by the same sketch (marked A).
The purpose of said apparatus is the protection--the keeping clean-of the
shirt-collar, by way of separating it from the coat-collar.
In applicating the invention, the two upper ends of the apparatus, marked X, are
to be shoven under the shirt-collar, into the position as shown by sketch B; in
doing so, the two lower ends, marked Y, will settle on the coat-collar and press it
down (see sketch C). The small notch, marked Z, situated in the middle of the
apparatus, fastens itself underneath the shirt-button and keeps it from moving
sideways.
Adjusted in this manner, the apparatus prevents the troublesome creeping-up of
coat-collar to the neck, covering thereby the shirt-collar, which hitherto has been
unavoidable, principally while in sitting posture. It's use renders impossible the
forming of those ugly gray spots and traces, that appear immediately on every
fresh worn shirt-collar. The cause of these dirty traces is the friction of shirt-
collar and the inner side of coat-collar, the latter being never quite free of dust.
The apparatus prevents this friction by keeping the coat-collar permanently within
a certain distance of the shirt-collar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is -
"The novelty of the described apparatus for the protection of shirt-collar against
the creeping-up of coat-collar."

An Improved Apparatus for Fishing from Piers and other Places.
I, JOSEPH HAMEL SEDGER of 45 Rue de Varsovie, Ostend, in the Kingdom of
Belgium, but temporarily 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:-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus for fishing from piers and other
stationary places such as vessels at anchor and the like.
To clearly explain the nature of my invention reference is made to the accom-
panying drawing in which :-
Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of my apparatus as employed on a pier or
landing stage, and
Fig. 2 a front view of same.
The apparatus consists of a square net a expanded by cross pieces b, to which
is attached by a swivel joint a block c. This arrangement is suspended from an
arm or jib d by a rope which passes over a block f and round the block c,
one end being attached to the block and the other the drum g of a winch or
hoist. The drum of this winch is driven by small and large gears and i from
a shaft which is provided with suitable handles and a ratchet and pawl as
shown at k for arresting the winding drum at any point, or the pawl may be
applied to one of the gear wheels so that the ratchet wheel is dispensed with.
The gears are preferably enclosed by a cover 1. The drum, gears, and other
parts are carried by a plain frame m which is secured in some suitable way to
the pier or stage.
In using the apparatus the net a may be suitably baited and is lowered into
the water, and after having been allowed to remain there a short time is hoisted
up by the winch, the contents being removed by a landing net, or by drawing
the net in over the side by a short rope attached to same.
The apparatus above described may be constructed on a large scale or in small
sizes for the purposes of recreation &c.
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 apparatus for fishing constructed substantially as described and
illustrated.
