Conveyance of Bottles and other Fragile Vessels.
I EDWARD HODDINOTT Stratton St. Margaret near Swindon Wilts Mineral Water
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 :-
I take an ordinary packing case, and rope-which rope may be of wire, hemp, 5
flax, cotton, horsehair, silk, or any material from which rope can be made-Through
the ends and sides of the case, I bore holes, large enough to admit the rope at such
distances as will allow sufficient space for the bottles, or other vessels, which it may be
intended to contain.
The ropes are passed through the holes, from end to end, and then from side to side, 1
of the case, the cross ropes alternately passing under and over the lengthway ropes,
thus dividing the interior of the case, into a number of spaces, into which the bottles
or other vessels, may be placed. One set of crossed ropes I place near the top, and
another set near the bottom of the case.
The ends of the rope, which may be four, or more, or less I fasten either with a
knot, or a wedge, or a nail, or with all three, or two of the above systems.
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,

SAMUEL HORATIO HODGES, Mill Manager of Street in the County of Somerset
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:--
It is often desirable to cover paper cloth and other materials with a thin layer
of desolved glue or paste so that two or more of these materials may be stuck
together for the purpose of adding to their substance and strength. This work has
heretofore been accomplished by means of a brush the result being that a coating
of paste or glue is laid on in a very uneven manner with a good deal of labour and
trouble.
By means of the apparatus which I have made a better result is obtained in a
very expeditious manner.
The principle of my invention consists in directing at will a stream of glue or
paste upon a roller at the same time moving this roller over the surface of the
paper or cloth to be covered thereby ensuring to the sheet an even covering of the
said paste or glue.
Fig. 1. is a longitudinal section of my apparatus and Fig. 2. is a cross section.
h. g. h is a frame with roller e and uprights g¹ which are slotted to receive
projections on ends of trough a.
a is trough reaching from end to end of roller e and provided with projections
to fit into slots of uprights g' at c. Holes are made in the bottom of said trough,
or a continuous opening from end to end as b.
c is a stopper made to fit in the bottom of trough a and attatched to lever d by
pin upon which it swings.
d is a lever attatched to a at d' by means of pin to bearing which in its turn
is fastened to trough a.
The trough a being filled with glue or thin paste the operator grasps the handles
at h resting the roller lightly upon the material to be operated upon, he presses
the heel of his hand upon the lever & thereby raising the stopper c when a stream
of the glue falls upon the roller e and is equally distributed over the surface by
[Price 6d1

page_text: the motion of the whole apparatus. On the completion of the work pressure is
removed from lever d when the weight causes stopper c to drop to the bottom
of trough a and prevents any further outflow of glue or paste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention that what claim is
1. In a machine for covering paper cloth or other material with glue or paste
the distributing roller e substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a machine for covering paper cloth or other material with glue or paste the
trough a provided with stopper c substantially as and for the purpose described.

page_text: We ETIENNE BRUNO HAMEL of the firm of E. B. Hamel and Son Tape Manu-
facturers of Tamworth in the County of Staffordshire and ISAAC LUNN_and
WILLIAM HEWITT both of Tamworth in the County of Staffordshire, Tape
Manufacturers 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 :—
This invention has for its object improvements in tape and in the manufacture of
the same so that the twisting which is now so general therein may be prevented
either entirely or greatly reduced.
It is well known that tape made from, or of two fold yarn twists to a most
inconvenient extent both during the process of manufacture and during its
subsequent use by the public. After a garment has been washed this is very
noticeable and there is frequently considerable time occupied in untwisting before
the strings of garments can be ironed out while in the case of mangled garments
fitted with tapes the mangling process has often to be proceeded and the twists not
removed and thus the tapes soon become much like pieces of string. By our
process of manufacture our new tape is made to lie straight without either twist
or curl which is a most important advantage.
The process or mode of manufacture is as follows: We use yarn for and in the
warp of tape which yarn is of diverse directions of twist. The warp is composed
or made up of yarn a proportion of which in every piece of tape shall have been
twisted in spinning or doubling one way and another proportion of the yarn in
such piece of tape is twisted in the contrary direction, i.e. as to twist. For instance
yarn twisted or doubled in the direction as to twist commonly known in the trade
as "usual way" and your twisted or doubled in the direction as to twist known in
the trade in respect to two fold yarn as twisted waft way or by the term "Back
twist."
These two different twists of yarn I use in forming the warp of tape in the
proportion generally of about one half the number of warp ends or threads for
each warp of the one or "Front twist" way and about half the number of warp
ends or threads for each warp of the contrary or "Back twist" way.

page_text: The "Back twist" threads and "front twist" threads may be placed alternately
or grooped together if desired in smaller or larger groops according to the nature
of the material and width of the tape.
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 --
The improvements in tape and in the manufacture of the same of a combination
of yarns twisted some "Front twist" and some "Back twist" substantially as and
for the purpose herein set forth.

I, JOHN HENRY WHITEHEAD, partner in the firm of Taylor Wordsworth and
Company of 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 :--
My improvements have reference to combing machines in which drawing off
rollers and leathers are employed for drawing off the fibres from the pins of the
combs, the object being to dispense with the flat plate which is usually employed
for connecting the top with the bottom stands, such arrangement being so con-
structed that the stands can be readily released from each other when the leathers
require changing, or when anything occurs in which the rollers and leathers require
attention.
Further by my improvements the parts are more rigidly held together and there
is also more room for the passage of the leathers.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 a plan looking at the top. Figs 3. and 4 are
details.
A is the bottom stand bored out to receive the end of a pillar B which is secured
thereto by means of a nut C, or cotter.
The upper stand D is also bored out to receive the other end of the pillar B
which is inserted as shewn and secured thereto by the cotter E as shewn at Figs. 1
and 2, or by ordinary nuts F as shewn at Figs. 3 and 4.
By this arrangement it will be readily seen that the top and bottom stands are
firmly connected together, and the danger of twist in the necks and pressing
bushes are prevented by the assistance of the collars G and that part of the
pillar B inserted in the stands A and D, consequently the rollers H run much
steadier and easier than when the ordinary flat connecting bar is employed.
When it is necessary to remove the top stand D the attendant has merely to
withdraw the cotter E shewn at Figs. 1 and 2, or release the nuts F shewn at
Figs. 3 and 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 arrangement and application of pillar B and parts connected therewith for
securing the roller stands A and D whereby the same may be readily retained in
position or released, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

page_text: I, TELEPH PLESNER of Porsgrund, Bratsbergs-Amt in the Kingdom of Norway
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 the manufacture of artificial grindstones, edge runners.
and similar peripheral grinding and polishing stones or discs and has for its object
the avoidance of the difficulties and especially of the costliness of the ordinary
method of forming or manufacturing artificial grindstones out of a single mass or
mixture and the production of stones combining cheapness with perfect safety and
working capacity.
To obtain these advantages I form the grindstones not out of a single mass or
mixture but out of two masses or mixtures differing completely in their qualities
in the following manner: Into a mould corresponding with the size and shape of
the stone to be produced I place a core in the centre for the central perforation of
the stone and round the inner periphery of the mould an internal mould which
may be in one piece or in segments. Into the space left I stamp or ram a mass or
mixture for forming the central body of the stone, which mass, hereinafter called
the sandmass, can be composed of substances ordinarily used for making artificial
building stones possessing hardness, toughness and strength after drying and
hardening, without having the grinding or polishing qualities demanded from the
finished grindstone. The inner sides of the internal mould are not cylindrical but
corrugated grooved or star shaped for the purpose of uniting the sandmass more
firmly with the grinding or polishing mass.
After the sandmass has been suitably stamped or rammed, the internal mould is
gradually or successively withdrawn from the outer mould and into the space
between the core of sandmass and the outer mould, a mass or mixture as ordinarily
used for forming artificial grinding or polishing stones is stamped or rammed.
A firm union between the two substances or masses is effected by the corrugations,
grooves or recesses of the sandmass and by mixing suitable ordinarily used binding
substances with the sandmass as well as with the grinding or polishing mass,

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 method of manufacturing artificial grindstones, edge runners and similar
peripheral grinding and polishing stones or dises so that such stones are formed of
an internal ordinary sandinass core surrounded by the proper grinding or polishing
mass firmly combined with the core substantially and for the purposes herein-
before described and set forth.

pass through independant boss, which is secured to frame of cramp with two nut &
screw bolts, passing throug each side of opening in frame, left to receive boss for
forcing screw, thus acting on two bolts as centres, A compressing & B rising &
falling screws, pass through boss tapped in the solid substance, B plate cast with
screw so that the screw is turned by means of means of the plate, & fixed according
to thickness of work before being placed in position, then place it in position on
work, & tighten compressing screw A on rail of framing, & the screw c will
force up stile to shoulder.
The advantage is that it will cramp up any width of framing, whereas the present
cramps in use are limited to width; thus often requireing to make temporary
wooden cramps thus effecting a saving of time & material, One man can use it
comfortable whereas it takes two with any other cramp it is also adapted for
cramping up circular work it brings the work up bodily wheras other cramps
cripple the work, instead of requireing as other cramps do to reach across the
fraining it only requires to reach across the stile & fastens on the rail, it also

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cements or Plasters.
I CHARLES DONALD ALISON of 20 Vestry Road, Camberwell in the County of
Surrey, Modeller and plasterer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
THE MANUFACTURE OF A NEW AND IMPROVED CEMENT OR PLASTER and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
The improved Cement or plaster manufactured according to this invention is
particularly applicable for internal or external purposes also as a fireproof cement
or plaster, for the lining or covering of Furnaces, Kilns, Retorts &c.
The improved Cement or Plaster is composed principally of a natural non-
diatomaceous Silicious earth in a very finely divided state and containing over
95 per cent of Silica such as found in the locality of Bristol, and which I name
Silexine.
This may be mixed with Gypsum, Magnesia or Magnesian Limestones, Lime,
Sand or Plaster of Paris and mixed in less or more proportions of Silicates of Soda,
Potash, Alumina, Chlorides of Zinc, Soda, Ammonia, Magnesia, Barium or Limé,
and Carbonates, of Zinc, Soda, Ammonia, Magnesia, Barium, Lime, Potash.
th
I find that the following makes a fireproof and Waterproof Cement or Plaster :-
83 per cent of my Silicious Earth, 15 per cent of commercial Silicate of Soda, 'and
of ground Gypsum either burnt or unburnt 2 per cent, but I do not bind myself
to these proportions.
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 Fireproof and Waterproof Cement or Plaster made principally with my
Silicious Earth and treated as before mentioned.

ROBERT FENN Saw Mill Machinist No. 13 Stokefeild Guildford Surrey do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED EMERY WHEEL to be as
follows:-
An Emery Wheel made with a number of small holes so that it will Grind saws
without makeing them hot.

page_text: 1, ROBERT FENN Saw Mill Machinist No. 13 Stoke Fields Guildford Surrey 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 keep the tool or other article which is being ground
and also the grinding surface of an emery wheel cool when in use, thus preventing
its glazing and obviating the necessity of chopping it round its periphery in order to
re-roughen it as hitherto practised when it has become smooth and worn and which
practice frequently results in breaking the wheel.
To effect this I make a series of small perforations in the grinding surface of
the face of an emery wheel, either arranged in concentric rings, as shewn in the
accompanying drawing (which shews a plan view of one of my improved emery
wheels) or in any other convenient manner-
-These perforations serve to keep the saw
or other article which is being ground and likewise the grinding surface of the emery
wheel cool and they also preserve the roughness of such surface and cause the wheel
to act efficiently when grinding saws or other articles.
Another advantage is that by my invention I prolong the life of the wheel and so
effect a considerable economy.
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
Making perforations in the grinding surface of an emery wheel of any suitable shape
and arranged in any convenient order substantially in the manner herein before
described and shewn.

An Improvement in the Construction or Erection of Compound
Marine and Stationary Engines.
SAMUEL MORLEY Engineer No. 1 Paradise Place Woodside Horsforth near Leeds
in the West Riding of the County of Yorkshire do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
A piston or slide valve placed and worked in a steam chest or valve chamber fixed
or cast upon the high or low pressure cylinders or between the two, so that the steam
from the high pressure cylinder may be cut off at any period or portion of the stroke
from the low pressure cylinder and the remaining portion may be passed into the
surface or other condenser where then it will form or assist in forming a vacuum in
the high pressure cylinder. By this arrangement it will relieve the back pressure in
the high pressure cylinder at any period or portion of the stroke when or where it is
cut off, by this arrangement it converts the high pressure cylinder into a condensing
cylinder the same as the low pressure, it will also make both cylinders or Engines
high pressure as well as condensing. This piston or valve may be either worked from
a cam, eccentric tappet or lever from the main shaft, air pump levers or any other
convenient plan. In the steam chest or valve chamber there are three ports or
outlets communicating respectively with the high and low pressure cylinders and,
condensers.
