I, GUSTAV KRÜGER, of 47 Reichenberger Strasse, Berlin, Germany, Gilded
Moulding 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 :-
According to the usual method of manufacturing picture frames and particularly
those having gilded borders, the parts that are deeply recessed have always been
worked by hand with the aid of the chisel or of the graving tool and then (in the
case of "gilded" or other "plated" borders) they are decorated by means of an
engraving roller, the decorations so made standing out from the recessed surface.
In order to produce ornamentations of a similar sort to those which can be
produced by hand engraving, I employ a roller or cylinder, on which roller the
decorated parts are raised or elevated. I let the moulding or bordering which is in
the well known manner covered with a preparation of hot rosin run under the above
mentioned roller having the decorated parts raised or elevated and in this way the
raised pattern on the roller is transferred to the rosin preparation. The border is
then finished in the already commonly known way.
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 :-
1. The manufacture of the borders of picture frames, particularly gilded borders,
which have deeply recessed ornaments, by embossing rolling such decorations by
means of a roller, on which the decorated parts are raised or elevated as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture a picture frame border, with deeply impressed
ornaments made from an elevated or raised pattern roller substantially as described.

Improvements in Unions or Couplings for Lead Pipes.
I JAMES BARDSLEY of the Union Brass Works Hobson Street in Oldham in the
County of Lancaster Brass Founder 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 consists in making a Union or Coupling for the jointing of lead
pipes to other pipes in two pieces instead of in three pieces as heretofore and to
dispense with the use of solder or leather. To effect this I construct the male socket
of the Union or Coupling a little longer than usual and bevel or turn the front part
thereof to an angle corresponding with that of the flange to be constructed on the
female socket as hereinafter described-the male socket has an external screw to fit
into the internal screw of the fonale socket. The female socket has an internal
screw corresponding with the external screw of the male socket but at the end of the
female socket is a hole sufficiently large to receive the lead pipe proposed to be fixed
or jointed and at this hole is constructed a flange turned or made to an angle
corresponding with the bevelled or turned part of the front of the male socket. This
flange is constructed for the purpose of holding the end of the lead pipe proposed to
be jointed after it has been inserted through the hole in the female socket and been
'tampered" with the tamper (usually used by plumbers and brassworkmen) at the
end. By screwing up the male socket so as to press the bevelled or turned front
thereof against the tampered end of the lead pipe resting upon the flange of the
female socket a perfect joint or Union is made suitable for gas water or steam
purposes.
"
The Union or Coupling may be made of brass or other metal and of any size and
the front part of the male socket and the flange of the female socket will be bevelled
and turned of such strength and at such angles as may be suitable for the various sizes
of the pipes to be used.

page_text: The accompanying drawings will further explain my Invention:-
Figure 1. is a section shewing the male Socket with the front bevelled.
Figure 2. is a section shewing the female Socket with the flange at the bottom of
the recess bevelled at the same angle as the bevelled front of Figure 1. Upon this
bevelled flange the tampered end of the lead pipe is to rest.
Figure 3. shews section of short length of lead pipe with the end tampered out.
Figure 4. shews the Union when together.
Figure 5. is a section shewing the Union complete with the lead pipe jointed.
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
claim is:
--
1. A Union or Coupling for connecting lead pipes to brass or other pipes in two
parts substantially as above described.
2. The bevelled flange inside the female socket substantially as above described.

page_text: We JOHANN MÜCKE Manufacturer and WILHELM STERN Merchant both of
Holzmarktstrasse No. 2, Berlin 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 object of this invention is to prevent the arrival of soot, rust or impurities
of any kind into the burner; and to so construct and arrange the various parts
as hereinafter described for this purpose. Reference being made to the accompanying
drawing which illustrates certain portions of a regenerative gas lamp provided with
the improvements.
To prevent the dropping of rust into the burner and other impurities arriving
with the gas, there is placed in the gas tube a a pipe of glass porcelain or any
such material as is not liable to he oxydized or attacked at the heat required-
The upper end of this tube is closed, but there are provided near the upper end
lateral holes for admission of gas. The pipe communicates with the burner,
while the pipe a is closed below-It will thus be understood that rust etc. in the
gas pipe will fall outside the pipe band not arrive in the burner.
Furthermore to keep the burner clean from soot deposited from the flame, the
air feed to the flame is so contrived that it does not mingle with the gas and
therefore the latter is not burnt until it arrives at a certain distance from the
burner.
In a burner with radial jets as shown this may be conveniently done by placing
above and below the jets at a suitable distance therefrom, raised ribs or Hanges
in such a manner that the air for alimenting the flame is deflected outward thereby
to mingle with the gas at a distance from the orifices of the burner.
The manner of construction suitable for forming these flanges is illustrated
in the drawing-The part with the upper flange being screwed on the base
of the gas inlet and continuing the same in the form of a pipe with lateral
openings g. opening into a chamber formed by the burner cylinder with orifices
for the gas and the conical base e forming by its upper edge the lower flange x
and secured in place by the screw d which closes the lower end of the tube f

page_text: 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 regenerative gas lamps
1) The combination with a pipe, chamber, cylinder or the like supplying the
burner;
of a rising tube of non-oxydizable material connected with the burner
having inlets for preventing the passage of impurities into the burner.
2) In a burner the combination with the gas orifice or orifices; of a flange or
flanges so placed as to deflect the air to mingle with the gas at a distance
from said orifices.

I, CHARLES ANDREW EDWARD TALBOT PALMER, of "Gairlochy" Handsworth Wood,
Birmingham, in the County of Staffordshire, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in combined saddles and springs for
Velocipedes, and it has for its objects, the ready removal of the leather seat and
spring from the frame supporting it, the adjustment of the tension of the leather
seat, and generally to increase the comfort of the rider.
With these ends in view my invention consists of a metallic frame suitably formed
for attachment to the frames or seat-pillars-of-Velocipedes, and for adjustoient with
respect thereto. To the forward end of this frame is pivotted by a transverse pin, a
lever of the first order lying longitudinally with the metallic frame. The forward end
of this lever is forked to carry a cross pin or bar, and the rear end thereof is adapted
to engage with a spring hook arranged to keep the rear end of the lever up to the
under side of the metallic frame, and so keep the front end of the lever in a forward
position. The front part of the leather seat is connected to the pin or bar on the
front end of the lever by a suitable hook or other equivalent device, whereby it may
be readily detached from the said pin or bar when the end of the lever is thrown back
to release it.
I sometimes make an elastic connection between the front end of the leather seat
and the lever supporting it, or I make the lever or that part of the frame supporting it
elastic, as a spring or otherwise.
The rear end of the leather seat is carried by a double coil spring of any suitable
shape so that the double coils are made out of one length of wire or rod, bent double
at or near the centre of its length. This centre part rests in one of a series of grooves
cut or formed transversely across the metallic frame on the top side thereof.
The two
limbs of the spring then pass below suitable snugs on the rear end of the metallic
frame forming a double fulcrum against which the weight on the leather seat acts.
The free ends of the double limbs of the coil spring pass through two snugs on the
cantle plate fixed to the rear of the leather seat, and are adjustable therewith by means
of suitable nuts screwing on the threaded ends of the limbs of the said spring.

page_text: I, ERIK OTTO ALMQUIST, of Alands Station, Sweden, Lieutenant, 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 essentially of a gas-proof unity wadding of woollen paste-
board for separating the explosive and projectile charges of guns or other fire-arms.
The wad or wadding formed cylindrical of 12-18 m.m. in length and diameter
somewhat greater than the bore or caliber of the gun, is (see the annexed drawing)
formed concave or provided with a bowl-shaped cavity at one or both ends, which
may vary from a scarcely perceptible depression to a deeper bowl-shape. The end
turned from the powder may be besmeared with fat.
The wad or wadding is made of woollen paste-board (or woollen pulp) or other
paste-board stuff mixed with woollen matter, which at the same time is sufficiently
refractory not to permit the flame of the powder to pass through and soft enough not
Without loosing those

properties the ends of the wadding may however be coated with discs of somewhat
harder material in order to protect the soft paste-board.
The object in view with this wadding is that the powder gas shall penetrate into
the hollow end of the wadding thus forcing its edges against the walls of the barrel
and in this way separate the powder from the lead in a gas-proof manner, when the
bore dilates under strong or heavy charges.
This wadding differs from the felt wadding commonly used partly by its cheap and
comparatively refractory material and partly by its shape. It differs likewise from a
wadding described in the specification of English, Letters patent No. 435 of 1882,
substantially as to its shape. For while the wadding therein described is produced
from wood pulp or some similar fibrous matter, being very solid, comparatively hard
and of comparative little elasticity, the present unity wadding is produced from
woollen paste-board or other woollen stuff which is very soft and elastic,

page_text: The invention consists substantially thus, in the combination of a good but hitherto
little used shape with a new suitable material, by which a unity wad or wadding is
produced, which at firing surpasses other wads.
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 wad or wadding for guns, cartridges and the like of rag pulp or of paste-board
stuff mixed with woollen material hollow or concave at one or both ends in which the
edges of the concavity yield or expand under the pressure of the powder gas so as to
effect a tightening of them against the walls of the barrel when firing.

Pianoforte Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In place of the metal framing used generally in the manufacture of Pianofortes,
I use a plate or framing consisting of a single plate of mild steel, the edges of which
are formed into a flange or flanges whereby the necessary strength and rigidity are
imparted to the whole. The said flange or flanges may be formed on either or both
sides of the said plate or framing and may be continued round the plate or framing.
Frames constructed according to this invention possess the advantage of great
lightness.
This my invention is applicable to both horizontal and upright Pianofortes.

page_text: I HENRY JOHN TSCHUDI BROADWOOD, of 33 Great Pulteney Street, London, W.
Pianoforte 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

My Invention relates to Improvements in Metal frames for Pianofortes, and con-
sists in replacing the metal framing used generally in the manufacture of pianofortes
by a frame consisting of a single plate of mild steel the edge or edges of which are
formed into a flange or flanges whereby increased strength and stiffness are imparted.
The said flange or flanges may be formed either on one or both sides of the plate or
framing, and may be either continuous or not. The improved frames may be manu-
factured by any of the processes now known and in use, and they may be used with
any form of piano, modifications being made in the shape size and strength to adapt
them to the particular piano to which they are applied.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing shows a plan of my improved frame
suitable for a grand piano, a few of the strings being shown in dotted lines; and
Figure 2 shows a section through ... y in Fig. 1.
A-indicates the plate or frame of mild steel-a, flange on the same.
Frames constructed according to this invention possess great lightness and stiffness,
and permit of the struts or bars now employed being dispensed with thus giving
greater facility for the arrangement of the action, and a more even tone is produced,
it having been found that the tone in the immediate region of the strut is of a
slightly different quality from that in the other parts of the scale, in consequence of
the increased stiffness of the frame at that point. A strut or struts may however be
added if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to bo performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In pianofortes, a frame of mild steel having a flange or flanges round the edge or
edges substantially as described for the purpose specified.

width and form of plan are to be a matter of choice. On the top and at one end.
of the platform A is affixed a stationary disc C of a height above the platform equal
to the thickness of the travelling discs I. I and through the platform A is formed a
continuous slot B for the pivots H to move in. These discs I are provided with a
pivot H which, where used forms a pivot to an endless chain F, the links of which
are shown at K K. The discs I support the stands J and the chain is driven by
a sprocket wheel D placed below the platform A and is to be driven by any desired
gearing as at L M to move the discs I slowly around on the platform A. The
pivots H running in the slot B are properly guided till they come opposite to the
disc C when the discs I travel and rotate around it and hold the pivots H to move
free in the slot B, on leaving disc C. The discs I travel on the cam I and have a
reverse rotation. By this means a loose sprocket drum is obviated and at the same
time the discs I do not travel around the disc C but are rotated by means thereof.
Where both slots are straight between the wheel D and disc (the cam E is not
required

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 nature of my invention consists in having a movable plate, worked by a Worm
and Wheel so as to allow for different size wheels, for getting-different speeds, also 5
having a wheel and socket on spindle in the place of a Cone which can be worked on
the Lathe spindle, loose. When the back gear is in, and by having a large flange on

page_text: I, ALFRED FERNANDEZ YARROW of Isle of Dogs Poplar in the County of Middlesex,
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 :-
For staying together plates of boilers and other vessels subject to internal pressure,
various forms of stay bolts have been employed, among others, bolts having their
ends screwed into the plates; and in some cases, holes have been drilled into the ends
of these bolts to admit a taper punch driven in to swell out the screwed part and
make it fit tightly in the screwed hole of the plate.
It is generally possible, either from the inside or the outside of a boiler or vessel thus
stayed, to get access to one end of each stay for applying a swelling punch in the
manner described, but it is often impossible to get access to both ends of the stay.
My invention relates to a construction of stay-bolt such that, having access to only
one end of it, I am enabled to swell out both ends, as I will describe referring to the
accompanying drawing, which is a longitudinal section of a stay bolt according to
my invention.
There
The bolt is made tubular throughout its whole length but the hole at the one end b
is made of smaller diameter than the bore is generally, and this smaller part of the
bore is preferably made a little tapered as shewn, but not necessarily so.
being free access to the one end a, this end can be swelled by a taper punch driven
in, and by means of a taper punch, extending from a through the bore, the other
end be can also be swelled out.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
A stay bolt for boilers and the like, made tubular with bore smaller at the one
end, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

The process of conversion or treatment of the said raw material in order to adapt it
for use as a beverage, is to submit it to the.action of fire or heat in a cockle or other
suitable apparatus so as to produce upon it the effect of roasting, and the roasted seed
is then reduced to powder by being bruised or pounded in a mortar or ground in a
suitable mill or grinding apparatus.
The said raw material being abundant in that part of British Burmah above referred
to, can by its treatment as aforesaid be utilized so as to become available as a cheap
substitute for coffee.
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 treatment of dangway beans or seed otherwise known as the cassia tora or
cassia occidentalis, in such manner as to make or produce a substitute for coffee as
