I, WILLIAM LLOYD of 31 Snow Hill, London, E.C., Merchant, 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 a handle for plates, dishes, and the like which can be
fitted at will and detached by any ordinary person.
The handle may be made of strong wire or any other suitable substance, and may
be in a semicircular form (as in Fig. A of the drawing hereto attached). Each end
of the semicircle or handle is bent into a catch (which may be V shaped! as at a) so.
as to grasp the plate or dish.
A plate or dish with one of my handles upon it is converted into a convenient
form for carrying about or handing round and is much preferable in many instances
to an ordinary plate or dish. Besides which a proper cake basket or other suitable.
dish is not always ready to hand and with my handle a plate can be easily used
instead.
When desired the handle can be detached again by merely pressing the two ends.
outwards.
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

Improvements in the Construction of Chimney-pots.
I, ROBERT BOLTON of King Street, North Shields in the County of
Northumberland, Builder, 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 improvements in the construction of chimney-pots and
is specially designed to prevent downdraughts of smoke or air in the chimney.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows an half vertical elevation and an half vertical sectional elevation,
Figure 2 a plan and Figure 3 a section on line A. A and in the following description.
like marks of reference designate like parts.
Referring to the drawings, it will be observed that the external surface a of the
pot is inclined or tapered upwards and that certain ribs a', which gradually increase
in depth from nothing at c to a considerable depth at c', are formed on the external
surface for the purpose of directing the wind currents, striking the pot, upwards.
The top of the pot is partially enclosed or protected by a cap d, the lower edge
of which overlaps to a certain extent the top of the pot itself, as shown in the
drawings, so that the cap and ribs together form a series of openings around the
chimney-pot through which air or smoke can pass.
The inside of the pot is preferably formed parallel as at DD and tapering as
at E E and in practice it will be found that a chimney-pot constructed as described
will have the effect of preventing downdraught of smoke or air into the house or
chamber due to the particular combination or arrangement of tapered parts and
ribs and cap herein described.
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 improved chimney-pot consisting in forming the external surfaces of the pot
so as to taper or incline upwards, such tapered surfaces being provided with ribs of
a depth which gradually increases upwards, the pot being surmounted by a cap.
whose lower edge is arranged to overlap. the top of the pot itself, these several
parts being arranged and adapted to operate substantially as and for the purposes.
herein set forth.

Improvements in Printing on Cotton Fabrics.
1 ERNST IANTSCH, of Hilden Prussia 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 process is the production of new effects in cotton printing
accomplished by the combination of several chemical operations on the fibre.
In the art of printing on cotton the so-called direct dyeing dye-stuffs have hitherto
been used by printing reducing agents on fabrics dyed with the same (discharge
processes). Reducing agents have also been printed on fabrics prepared with beta-
naphtol and diazo-compounds of paranitraniline, alpha-naphtylamine etc., were then
printed thereon. In both cases white designs were obtained on colored grounds,
the formation of the respective azo body being prevented on the respective spots by
the reducing agents.
The present invention consists of a combination of both these methods by first
dyeing the cotton fabrics with direct dyeing dye-stuffs, then preparing them with
beta-naphtol sodium and by printing thereon the reducing substances and after-
wards the diazo compounds. In this way novel and for the printing industry very
valuable effects are obtained, because the reducing products discharge the direct™
dyeing dye-stuffs, and at the same time form a` reserve against the formation
of insoluble azo dye-stuffs. The following example illustrates the method of
operation.
1st. The cotton fabric is dyed first as usual with direct dyeing dye-stuffs, with
the addition of Glaubers salt, and then it is padded with beta-naphtol dissolved in
soda lye. For light shades these two operations can be combined into one by
adding the direct dyeing dye-stuff to the beta-naphtol solution, for example:

page_text: generating the insoluble dye-stuffs of beta-naphtol in defined designs on the spots
not covered by the resist.
2. The process of printing on cotton fabrics substantially as described.

An Improved India-rubber Heel.
NIELS LAURITZ JACOBSEN of Tondern near Kiel 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 :-
The subject of this invention is an improved heel for boots and shoes, made
of india-rubber, and offering the advantages of affording the wearer a firm and
easy tread, while being, at the same time, incapable of wearing off; in addition
to which, its damp-proof nature endows it with health-preserving qualities
calculated to prove of particular value to sufferers from rheumatism. Again, the
improved heel may be manufactured at very low cost, and be very readily
fitted to boots and shoes of every description; being, moreover, exchangeable when
required.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings, in which the improved heel is represented in a plan-view and a section
on line a x.
The improved heel consists of an india-rubber plate a, in the manufacture of
which care should be taken that the material is neither too hard nor too soft.
This plate has the exact shape of the heel to which it is intended to attach it,
and its edges are rounded off, while in its upper part a metal plate A, preferably
of sheet steel, is imbedded, this being done in the course of the manufacture of
the india rubber plate itself, no screws or tacks being necessary in fixing the
frame in position. The three ends d of the plate are bent and perforated.
Besides, the hook in the rear, e, is double, and adapted to grip the heel. The
india rubber plate is secured to the heel by means of two screws passed through
the turned up ends of the metal frame, and driven in; and at the back by
means of the hooks e formed by the bent and cut-away ends of the metal frame,
the attachment being completed by means of a screw.
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:-
An india rubber heel capable of being readily fixed to the heel portious of
boots and shoes and mainly consisting of an india rubber plate a wherein a
metal frame A, having three turned up ends or hooks, is imbedded while the
plate a is being manufactured (i.e. while the india-rubber is soft); which frame
is adapted to be readily secured to the heel portion of the boot or shoe by means
of hooks and screws, substantially as described.

An Improved Cushion for Invalids.
GEORGE Down of " Connaught "St. John's Wood Road,
Bournemouth, Hants, Photographer 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 invention relates to an improved. cushion especially intended for the use
of invalids, intended to provide an arrangement which will allow the person using
it to sit with greater comfort, and without experiencing inconvenience from
stoppage of the circulation and the like.
The cushion is of square, rectangular or any other suitable form, and is made
with a large notch or recess at the back. In side elevation the cushion slopes at a
slight angle towards the front, being of wedge shape, in order, that when sitting,
the pressure may be equalised instead of the weight of the body being mainly
carried on a small area, as is the case with cushions of uniform thickness.
Extending from the recess at the back to the front are formed two grooves or
depressions one on each side. These are so placed that when the person uses the
cushion, his legs will lie in them, while the base of the spine will be just over the
edge of the recess. The spine will thus be quite free from pressure, as the body is
not supported on that part, preventing the tenderness commonly experienced by
invalids after sitting for considerable time. The grooves will prevent pressure on
the sciatic nerves, and will also allow of free circulation through the legs.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a plan of the cushion Fig. 2 is a side
elevation, and Fig. 3 is a cross section.
The cushion is formed with an inner bag A. firmly stuffed with horse hair or
other suitable material, and a cover a of the usual description. It is formed with
the recess B at the back form placed immediately under the spine when in use.
C are the grooves or depressions one on each side extending from the recess B to
the front, formed by drawing together the top and bottom of the bag A along the
proper lines by the cords c.
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) An invalid cushion formed with a recess at the back and two grooves
extending from the recess to the front of the cushion receiving the legs of the
sitter, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2) An improved invalid cushion consisting of a square cushion sloping
downwards towards the front, having a recess at the back, and two grooves or
depressions extending from back to front constructed substantially as described
and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in and connected with Pneumatic Tyres.
I WILLIAM EDWIN HEYS of 70 Market Street, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Patent Agent, 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 the present invention is to protect the air-containing tubes of
pneumatic tyres against punctures and accidental incisions during use.
For the purpose of this invention the air tube is covered on its more exposed
part by a special protector consisting essentially of a fabric of appropriate width
and of any suitable material along the centre of which a pocket is formed, either
during the process of weaving or subsequently. This pocket is filled with cotton
waste, wadding, or the like, or with divided cork, cork cuttings, or with any other
similar or suitable substances capable of forming with the pocket an imperforable
elastic cushion. The lighter materials are preferred.
The cushion pocket can be formed, as before described, during the process of
weaving, or it may be formed from a suitable strip of fabric along the middle part
of which is sewn, by its edges, a narrower strip of another fabric. The new
protector is arranged between the air tube and the cover, with the pocket just
above the tread.
The accompanying drawings illustrate in what manner this invention may be
carried into effect, and will be hereinafter described.
Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of the protector, and
Figure 2 is a vertical section.
Figure 3 is a transverse section, on a reduced scale, of part of a pneumatic tyre
with the protector in position.
a b is the pocket, formed in suitable textile fabric, either during or after the
process of weaving as herein before described. A is the cotton waste, wadding,
cork cuttings or other material with which the pocket is stuffed. The pocket,
when arranged upon the air tube is endless, that is to say its ends are joined
together, so that it entirely envelopes and protects the more exposed part of the
tyre. The edges of the protector may be provided with wires as shewn by
Figures 1 and 2, for attaching it and the air tube to the wheel rim in the usual
manner. c is the air tube and d the cover, both of which may be of the ordinary
construction.
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 protector for the air tubes of pneumatic tyres constructed and arranged
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and as illustrated

Merchant, 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 an apparatus for containing and delivering powdered
substances such as salt, soap powder, or a disinfecting powder.
The accompanying drawings illustrate in vertical section an apparatus constructed
according to these improvements.
The apparatus consists of a receptacle or vessel a furnished with a removable
cover b and a lug clamp or other suitable suspending or supporting device c. From
the bottom d of the vessel, a tube e projects inwardly upwards and is slotted or
otherwise suitably perforated as at f. Contained within the tube e, and capable of
sliding therein, is a second tube g, closed at its upper end by a projecting cap h and
open at its lower end which projects from the lower end of the receptacle when the
tube is in its lowest position as shewn in the drawing. The tube falls downward by
gravity, its motion being limited by the cap or projecting flange. In the tube g are
formed the slots i at a distance from the bottom of the tube equal to the distance
between the slots and the bottom of the tube e. The slots i are preferably similar
in size and shape to the slots f. It is thus evident that, if the tube g be pressed
upwards until its lower end is level with the lower end of the tube e, the slots
and i will coincide and the powdered substance contained within the receptacle will
pass through them and be delivered by the tube 9.
g
A convenient way to effect delivery is to press the tube 9 upwards with the palm
of the hand into which the substance will be delivered. The tube falls and cuts off
the supply when the hand is withdrawn.
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 :-
An apparatus for containing and delivering powdered substances, consisting of a
suitable receptacle furnished with an inwardly projecting perforated tube within
which is a second tube similarly perforated and capable of moving longitudinally,
all constructed arranged and operating substantially as herein before described and
as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

I, ALBRECHT BERNHARD FRIEDRICH WEGEMUND, Merchant, Rostock,
Mecklenburg, 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 new tincture is for the destruction of fleas, lice and other parasites trouble-
some to fowls and domestic animals, the great value of which lies in the long
duration of its effective power. It consists of various oils and alcohol.
1 part alcohol is moderately warmed in a vessel; to this is added, in the order
given, 1 part aniseed oil, 3 parts warmed olive oil, 3 parts rapeseed oil, 1 part
castor oil, 1 part linseed oil, and 1 part almond oil. The rapeseed oil before
mixing is heated to boiling point and finely chopped onion is added to it in the
proportion of 1 liter of rapeseed oil to 1 large onion. After the onion has been in
the heated rapeseed oil for some time, it is filtered and then mixed with the
other oils etc. The liquid is thoroughly mixed and the vessel placed in a warmed
bath.
Used on fowls, the tincture is rubbed in under the wings, on a part of the breast
and on the legs. Rubbing in once a month is sufficiently often to keep away the
vermin. In order to maintain perfect cleanliness in hen-houses, dove-cots, bird-
cages and the like, the roosts, perches, nest-boxes and also the walls, should be
sprinkled with the tincture diluted with alcohol.
The tincture is likewise diluted with alcohol for application to dogs, horses,
swine and other animals, by using liter alcohol to 1 liter tincture. The mixture
is rubbed into the animals."
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:

I ERNST SAORs of Schweinfurt af M, in the Empire of Germany, Mechanician,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly descubed and ascertained in and by the
following statement.―
This invention relates to a double ball bearing puncipally for cycles in which
the balls run on spherical or similarly shaped piojections of the axle while the
counter or abutment faces are formed by one rigid and one adjustable bearing box
respectively.
Figs. 1 and 2 of the annexed diawing show this axle ball bearing in longitudinal
and cross sectional views.
b
The axle a 18 provided with spherical projections & upon which run the balls o
arranged in double 10ws. For the inner rows of balls the ring plates e form the
counter or abutment faces, whilst the outer rows of balls run against the ring-
plates of the screw threaded boxes g screwed into the hubs & For securing the
screw threaded boxes g, the screw threaded rings or set nuts & are screwed on said
boxes and abut against the ends of the hubs.
In order to enable the Dе rows of balls to be inserted, one of the spherical
projections b of the axle a (in Fig. 1 that on the right-hand side) is arranged
displace» bly and is fixed upon the axle a by means of a spline wedge or feather i.
Owing to the fact that the balls arranged in double rows and running upon the
spherical faces of the axle will always touch the axle at one point only, the ball
bearing 18 only subject to an extremely slight frictional contact and is therefore
especially useful for cycles. The improved bearing is also dust proof, holds the
lubricant and can be readily adjusted to compensate for the small amount of wear
in the ball bearing.
Having now particularly descubed and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim 18:-
1. A ball bearing for cycles so constructed that the balls e arranged in doublo
rows run upon spherical or sumilaily shaped projections of the axle a, one of
which projections is displaceable.
2. An axle ball bearing of the kind described in Claim 1 in which the counter
or abutment faces for the balls c are formed by ring plates e, f, inserted into the
hub d, the one of which ing plates is arranged so that it can be adjusted by means
of a screw threaded box 9 screwed into the hub g substantially as set forth.

Appliances for Draining Off Water from Small Coal Contained in
Tanks or Receptacles.
I, FRITZ BAUM, of 3 Fabrikstrasse, Herne, Prussia, Engineer and 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 relates to appliances for rapidly draining off water from small
coal after it has been washed and conveyed together with water into collecting
tanks or receptacles.
For this purpose, one or more pipes or passages are built into the tanks, the sides.
of which pipes constitute sieves, being formed either of perforated metal, wire
gauze, or other permeable material.
The pipes or passages can be either of circular or other section, and may be
arranged either in the middle or at the sides of the collecting tanks. In place
of pipes may be used hollow partitions with sieve surfaces, or channels may be
formed in the masonry of the tanks at various points, which channels are covered
in by perforated or other sieve plates. Perforated pipes or walls of cast iron,.
earthenware or other suitable material may also be employed.
By means of such sieve like or perforated pipes, walls, or passages the water
which is situated among the small coal to about the same height as the body of
coal itself, is drawn off into the interior of the pipes, partitions or channels, and is
thus effectually and expeditiously removed, without being required to penetrate
down through the entire thickness of the layer of small coal, as is the case with the
draining arrangements heretofore employed.
Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings shew respectively a vertical
section and a plan of a collecting tank having, by way of example, a perforated or
wire gauze draining pipe a arranged in the middle of the tank.
In combination with or in lieu of this pipe may be used four other pipes a' at the
corners of the tank, as indicated in dotted lines.
Fig. 3 shews a vertical section and plan of a passage c formed in the wall of the
tank, which is covered by a perforated plate d for draining off the water from the
small coal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what [
claim is :-
In collecting tanks or receptacles for small coal, the use of perforated or permeable
pipes, hollow partitions or passages covered with perforated or permeable plates.
for the purpose of draining off the water from the small coal, substantially as
described.

The process of socketting pipes is done by running the wheel- of the barrow
through the pipe to be socketted, the barrow is then raised with the pipe on the
bearers, and the wheel is then run into another pipe so as to cause the spigot of the
carried pipe to insert itself into the socket of the other pipe.
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 whole barrow substantially as subsoribed and illustrated.

An Improved Combination Pipe Cleaner and Plug for Tobacco
Pipes.
We LOUIS SCHRAMM of 1 Parkville Road, Fulham, Electrician and GEORGE
EDWARD CORDELL of 22 Finborough Road, Kensington, Oil and Colourman,
both in the County of Middlesex 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 a skeleton plug to hold the tobacco in the bowl of pipe,
by which the whole of the tobacco will be consumed, and when the plug is taken
out it will clean out the bowl.
And in order that our said invention may be understood, we will refer to the
drawing accompanying this Specification in which :-
Fig. 1 shews plan of plug and bowl.
Fig. 2 shews section of bowl of pipe with plug in position.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the views.
b
a shews bowl of pipe, 6 plug, this is shewn composed of vertical ribs, and the
bottom is smaller in diameter than the bowl a, sɔ as to leave an air space between
the plug b and the bowl a; care arms to take over top of bowl a; f is a s'nall
scraper (or there may be more than one) so that upon turning the plug 6 round
before taking it out of the bowl a, it will clean the said bowl.
When the plug (which is made of any suitable metal, or any other suitable
material) is made with flat upright ribs and these fit close against the inside of the
bowl they will act as scrapers when the plug is turned round.
Pipes provided with this improved plug will be found to smoke cooler than when
the tobacco is placed in the bowl direct, and further there will be little or no waste
arising from unconsumed tobacco.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what mauner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
1. The skeleton plug provided with top ring or flange all substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.
2. The skeleton plug provided with scraper or scrapers substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.
3. The improved plug for use in tobacco pipes substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Arc Lamps.
ERNEST ALEXANDER CLAREMONT c/o F. H. Royce & Co., Electricians
Cooke Street, Hulme, Manchester, Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described aud ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The improvements which form the subject of this invention relate to an
improved form of electro magnet and armature whereby the leakage of the lines
of force between the polar faces of the magnet and the armature is very materially
decreased and consequently the sensitiveness of reaction of the one upon the other
is greatly increased.
This improved electro magnet and armature are for use in arc lamps where
sensitiveness and freedom from leakage are required.
This invention also relates to a method of mechanically releasing the brake of a
shunt arc lamp, thereby allowing the carbons to fall together, to a position ready
for striking the arc when the current is turned on.
This inveution also relates to an improved method of insulating a carbon holder
of an arc lamp.
In order more clearly to describe the nature of my invention I have prepared
a sheet of drawings which shew only those parts wherein the invention lies.
In Fig. 1. A is an electro magnet and B. B' are the pole pieces of the core
thereof and C C are the armature which is prolonged by the intervening iron
rod N.
This armature is allowed to rotate on the points of the screws D D' from the
position shewn in Fig. 3 to the dotted position in Fig. 3.
The armature is bevelled as shewn at C C' and the pole pieces B B¹ are also
bevelled or tapered to the same angle.
The advantage of this bevelling being that as the pole piece C in Fig. 3 moves
towards the position dotted therein the pull upon it by B increases more rapidly
than would be the case if both were not bevelled or tapered.
Fig. 4 shews the means whereby the carbons may be allowed to come together
to a position ready for striking the arc.
By pressing the thumb-piece G the pin F together with the armature C C¹ is
moved round to the dotted position in Fig. 3 and when in that position the brake
is released allowing the carbons to fall together.
Fig. 5 shews an improved method of insulating a carbon holder.
The thick black lines indicate the insulation for which in preference I use
mica and it will be seen that the screws O O' which hold the carbon holder K to the
crossbar L are completely enveloped by it.
On the top of the screw heads covered by the mica is placed a metal plate M which
prevents the mica being ejected under any circumstances.
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 An immured form of electro magnet and armature.

3. An improved method of insulating a carbon holder.
All as, substantially, set forth and described.
