I, HENRY WALTER BELLEW of 83 Linden Gardens, Bayswater in the County
of Middlesex, Deputy Surgeon General, Her Majesty's Indian Medical Department,
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 improved medicinal preparation, and is specially
adapted by the theraperatic properties of its ingredients, and acts as a safe and
sure remedy in the class of deseases above mentioned.
It is a concentrated compound, the composition of which is as follows :—
Tincture of Krameria, sixteen parts.
Tincture of Quassia, five parts.
Tincture of Capsicum, one and a half parts.
Solution of Liquorice, five parts.
Oil of Anise, one and a half parts.
Solution of Hydrochlorate of Morphia in Diluted Glycerine, four parts,
Simple Syrup, seven parts.
Each fluid ounce of the mixture contains one and a half grains of Hydrochlorate
of Morphia. The diluted Clycerine consists of one part of pure Glycerine to three
parts of distilled water. The dose of the medecine is from fifteen to forty drops
for an adult, and is best taken neat as drawn from a bottle, but it may be mixed
with a little water, wine, or spirits, without detriment.
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. The original novelty of the combination.
2nd. The concentrated form of the ingredients.

page_text: 3rd. The peculiarity of the preparation by which the medecine is preserved in
an unaltered condition for an indefinite period. As results of these special arrange-
ments, I claim, the following superior qualities and advantages
Its concentrated form and special adaptation for administration without the
admixture of any thing else as a vehicle. This in itself is important, especially
in cases in which the irritability of the stomach does not tolerate the large doses
commonly prescribed in medical practice.

We, WILLIAM JONES of 2° Rye Dwellings, Peckham Rye, in the County of
Surrey, Map Mounter and RICHARD CHARLES POWELL of 8 Victoria Buildings,
Belgravia, S.W. 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 :-
This invention relates to ingredients to be used in the preparation of trans-
parencies and to the method of applying the same and is specially intended for the
treatment of any kind of lithograph, photograph, chromograph oleograph, drawing
painting or printed matter generally. To render such articles transparent we
varnish the face of the picture and glass and affix them by means of a mixture of
gum and alum or other adhesive material and when dry saturate the picture with
a mixture composed of paraffine oil, or other oil of a drying nature, glycerine, soda,
and water in about the following proportions:-
One pint paraffine oil.
One half pint glycerine.
Two ounces avoirdupois common soda.
Two quarts water.
The mixture after being heated to boiling point is allowed to cool and is applied
to the backs of the pictures in a luke warm condition. If the picture is printed
upon thin paper, not exceeding say 76 pounds weight per ream of double demy,
saturation with the above mixture may be sufficient to produce the required
degree of transparency, but in treating heavier paper the thickness may be
reduced by moistening the back of the picture and rubbing the same until
sufficient pulp has been removed. The remaining film is then saturated with
paraffine or other oil of a drying nature and allowed to dry after which it may be
coated with copal, spirit, mastic, or other suitable varnish.
The picture, print, or design may be affixed to glass by means of a mixture
of gum and alum, or other adhesive material being well pressed thereon and
all air bubbles being removed by means of a squeegee or other suitable tool or
manipulation.

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 :-
1. The use of a mixture of paraffine or other drying oil, glycerine, common soda
and water for, penetrating paper and thereby rendering ordinary prints, chromo-
graphs, oleographs, drawings paintings or the like available as transparencies
substantially as specified.
2. The method or process of producing transparencies by saturating prints,
chromographs, oleographs, paintings or the like, with a mixture such as herein
described, attaching the same to glass and removing the excess of paper when too
thick by the application of moisture, and friction substantially as specified.

page_text: FRANK TRIER, Civil Engineer of 19 Great George Street, Westminster
London S.W. 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 lubricators for use with solidified oil or grease which is
forced into the bearings by a screw action. In the lubricators hitherto employed
for this purpose, the moveable part of the lubricator is liable to become loose & fly
off when used on bearings subject to percussion or strong vibrations, unless a
special locking arrangement is provided.
These locking arrangements make the lubricators unhandy & awkward to
manipulate & the object of this invention is to construct a lubricator, the
moveable part of which shall not get loose & without the employment of a
special locking arrangement.
The lubricator shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings consists of the
cup a (into which the lubricant is filled), the flanged shank b (which is fixed to
the bearing & can where desired be made part of the bearing) with its central
threaded stem c, the nut e fixed firmly to the outer casing d, with the spiral spring f
contained between e & d.
The circumference of the flange on 6 contains an elastic packing g & is made to
fit so tightly into the cup a that whilst the latter can be readily moved up or down
by turning the nut d, the cop a will not turn relatively to b.
Should the packing not be sufficient in some cases to prevent a from turning a
key & keyway or some other simple means may be adopted to accomplish this
object. In order to prevent the nut d, e from turning through vibrations of the
machinery it contains a strong spiral spring ƒ which prevents any play between the
nut & the cup a & acts as a break.
The small weight of the nut de allows it to follow easily the vibrations imparted
to the whole lubricator.
The lubricator shown in Fig. 2 is a modification of the same principle. The
stem c is here united with the hollow head d & works into a threaded recess in the
shank b. The spiral spring is contained in the hollow head. The lubricant passes
through o o.

page_text: Having now particularly described & 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 combination of the cup a & the nut de containing a spring to prevent
vibrations from turning the nut together with the screwed stem c fixed to or
forming part of the flanged shank b substantially as described & shown in Fig. 1.
2. The combination of the cup a with a screw c having a hollow head d
containing a spring for the purpose of preventing vibrations turning the screw c,
together with the flanged shank 6 into which c screws substantially as described
& shown in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings.

page_text: MORRIS WELCH Miller & Corn Merchant of Dock Mill, Southsea and FREDERICK
Rook Engineer, of Napier Road, Southsea do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN GAS ENGINES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
First For the charging cylinder A. and piston which acts as a suction &
force pump, by means of which the charge (air & gas) is sucked through the inlet
boxes at each end of the cylinder A. alternately, and is also forced into the
exploding cylinder B. where it is ignited by the Telescopic ignition valve, thereby
obtaining an explosion at every stroke and at each end of the cylinder B., a result
not attained by any other Gas Engine.
Secondly-For the inlet boxes before named ; (attached to the charging
cylinder A, and shewn in section on the plans); which are divided into two
unequal parts C & D, the larger C for the admission of air, and the smaller D
for gas, in which parts the valves E & F are raised or lowered by the governors
to admit or shut off the air and gas before the perforations G & H in the back of
said boxes connected to valve I. which cuts off the charge at one stroke and admits
it at the other, when the valve K is opened and the charge is forced into the
exploding cylinder B. where it is ignited from valve L, and at the end of each
stroke the exhaust valve N is opened and the exploded gas escapes.
It is believed the valves I & K will be self acting, but in case of failure a method
is shewn of working them by shafting S.
Thirdly For the Telescopic action of the ignition valve in each end of the
exploding cylinder B, the valve L. being forced back when the piston returns, and
the aperture M. is brought opposite the Gas pipe O. and filled with Gas, and ignited
by a jet from pipe P., and by means of the spring R. is instantaneously returned to
the interior of the cylinder B, the burning gas in the aperture M igniting the
charge in the cylinder B, thereby causing an explosion which is the motor of the
engine.

I JOSEPH WHITEHEAD of N° 8 George Street within the City of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, Agent, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED
FASTENERS FOR BELTS FOR DRIVING OR TURNING MACHINERY and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
By this invention I connect the ends of driving-belts or straps to each other by
means of fasteners, each of which consists of two parts, Part A and Part B.
Part A is attached to one end of the belt and Part B to the other end of it by
means of teeth or pointed pins which are pressed into the body of the belt and
rivets which are passed through both the belt and the fastener and then riveted
or otherwise fixed.
The two parts of the fastener are so shaped that they can only be joined or
disjoined at an angle opposite to the direction in which the belt passes round the
pulleys, so that the belt whilst running cannot possibly be disconnected.
No pin or other extraneous appliance is required to join or attach the two parts
of the fastener to each other they being self interlocking and yet at the same time
allowing sufficient play at the joint to enable the fastener to adjust itself to any
diameter of pulley. This is effected by the rail or bar (d) of Part
being passed
under the raised up portions of Part A (c) and then both parts of the fastener being
turned over until they are in a line with each other when they become interlocked.
The fasteners may be made of malleable cast iron steel brass or any other
suitable metal.
Figure 1, is a plan of the fastener shewing the Parts A and B and the raised up
portions of Part A (c) and the rail or bar of Part B (d).
Figure 2. is a sectional elevation at e-f.
Figure 3. is a plan of the underside of Parts A and B shewing the position of
the teeth or pointed pins to be pressed into the belt.
Figure 4. is an elevation of the fastener showing at what angle Parts A and B of
the fastener can be joined or disjoined.

I, ALFRED JAMES WARD of 22 Fletcher Gate, Nottingham, in the county of
Nottingham, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of tho said invention
and in what manner the samo is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My said invention relates to apparatus for use in ironing billiard tables, lace,
linen and other fabrics where heated irons of the usual construction are used, and
it has for its object the improvement of such apparatus, whereby the process of
ironing can be performed quicker and in a cleaner and more convenient manner.
This invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elovation and Fig. 2 an end elevation of my
improved apparatus.
My said invention comprises the use of a hollow metal cylinder A provided at
cach end with pivots B B working in bearings provided for them in the framing C
which has a handle D of non-conducting material by means of which the apparatus
is passed over the material to be ironed the cylinder turning round freely and
rolling the material.
.
At one end of the cylinder A is a circular aperture E for inserting a cylindrical
iron or other equivalent heater F which may be heated in the fire or other con-
venient place, before insertion and is preferably provided with a hole G which
may be tapped with a screw thread and in which a bar may be screwed for with-
drawing it. The aperture E is closed by a cover H which may be screwed in or
fastened in any convenient manner thus confining the heat which is retained for a
considerable time.
The cylindrical heater revolves with and always keeps approximately at the
bottom of the cylinder A thus keeping the source of heat at that portion of A's
periphery which is passing over the material to be ironed, and where of course the
heat is most wanted.
The apparatus may be also heated by inserting a gas jet through one or both of
the pivots B and connecting them by flexible tubing to a ans nine.

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 :-
1. In an apparatus such as described the combination with a hollow revolvable
cylinder such as A of a cylindrical heater such as F adapted to be placed and to
revolve inside A as A revolves in the process of ironing substantially as specified.
· 2. The complete ironing apparatus consisting essentially of a hollow revolvable
internally heated cylinder such as A framework such as C and handle such as D

page_text: We, WILLIAM YEATS BAKER, and LYNCH WHITE (Junior), trading as the Thames
Bank Iron Company in Upper Ground Street, in the County of Surrey, Manu-
facturers, 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 an improved device, which we term an expander, for
fitting india-rubber rings upon the male or spigot end of a pipe, to be jointed into
the socket of another pipe; and it is designed to effect this in a simple speedy and
efficacious manner.
In order that our invention may be the better understood, we now proceed to
describe the same in relation to the drawings hereunto annexed, reference being
had to the figures and letters marked thereon. Like letters refer to like parts in
both the figures.
Figure 1 shows our device in operation.
Figure 2 shows our device withdrawn from the pipe the ring having been put in
place.
A is the spigot end of a pipe, which may be formed with a swell or collar as
at B, or may be plain, and it is over this spigot end of the pipe that the india-
rubber ring is to be slipped, and to close on the pipe as at C in figure 2.
Now, in order to stretch the ring and pass it over this spigot end, considerable
difficulty has existed, and the hands of the operator were liable to be cut.
In order then to obviate this, we form a device, a portion of which at D, slips
into the spigot end of the pipe, the other portion E, corresponding in diameter with
the outside of the pipe, and tapering off to the diameter of the ring to be fitted.
The ring is slipped on the taper end of the device at F, and gradually rolled up the
inclined travel over the spigot end of the pipe, dropping into the position shown
at C in figure 2, when the device can be withdrawn, and the spigot end of the
pipe is ready for insertion into the corresponding socket or faucet of the pipe to be
jointed thereto.
It is obvious that our device may suit any diameter of pipe, and may be formed
of any suitable material, such as metal or wood.

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:-
1st The construction of a device for expanding an india-rubber ring and forming
an inclined travel for same, to facilitate its mounting upon the spigot end of a pipe,
to form a joint, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2nd.The combination of such a device with the spigot end of a pipe, substantially
as and for the purposes specified.

page_text: I, EDWIN CLERK ALLAM of 63 Finsbury Pavement in the County of Middlesex,
Architect 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 refers to show boards in which the letters are made to change
their appearance and thereby attract attention.
The invention will be best understood and I will describe it with reference to the
accompanying drawings forming a part of the Specification, in which Figure 1 is a
front elevation of a show board shewing the changeable letters. Figure 2 is a
section of the apparatus or appliances shewing the arrangements for producing this
change in the letters. Figure 3 is a view on a larger scale than the previous
figures of a portion of such arrangement all constructed arranged and acting
according to this my invention.
In the drawings 2 is the show board which I make either of glass rendered
opaque except where the letters appear, or of sheets of metal, cardboard, or wood
perforated to form the letters. Behind these transparent letters or openings
I place a screen of small rods 3 which are made to revolve by means for example,
of a rack 4 gearing into pinions attached to the rods, actuated by an electro-motor,
clockwork or other convenient mechanism 5. These rods may be placed as shown
for example with reference to Figure 1, horizontally, as in the letters P and M,
vertically as in the letter I or obliquely as in the letters R and S and they may
be variously coloured or figured as fancy or taste may dictate.
The rods need not be circular in section, they may be polygonal or flat. Instead
of a rack and pinions, pulleys and cords may be used for causing the rods to
revolve, and instead of rods the change in appearance may be produced by coloured
or figured discs caused to move behind the openings by means of mechanism such
as that named above.
In either case the change in appearance is caused by variously colouring or
figuring the rods or discs.
-

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:
In show boards for advertising or other purposes, the use of rods, laths or discs
variously coloured or figured and made to move by suitable mechanism behind
transparent or perforated openings for the purpose of attracting attention all
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated with reference to the accom-
panying drawings.

page_text: In detaching the spindle, pressure is applied to the knob to force the collar back-
ward and when the head has been thrown out of the counter recesses a quarter turn
is given to it and the hub opening being thus brought into direct and angular
alignment, the action of the spring will throw the collar forward against the head
thereby throwing the latter entirely out of the hub.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In a knob attachment the combination with a hub or hubs, recessed as shown,
of a stationary spindle secured to the knob shank and terminating in a suitable
head, and a spring actuated locking collar arranged around said spindle and held in
its normal position firmly against the head whereby the latter may be forced
within the hub, and securely held therein by the abutment of the collar against the
hub, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of the knob shank, the spindle, A, secured therein and
terminating in head, B, the coil spring, D, around the spindle, the collar, C, also on
the spindle between the said head and spring and held by the latter firmly against
the former, and the latch hub recessed to accommodate the head as against retrac-
tion, substantially. as and for the purpose set forth.

:
I, THOMAS BROWN of 39 Melbourne Road, Leicester, Boot 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—
It is well known that in taking boots and shoes off the last in the process of
making them the stitches frequently tear across the front at the junction of the
vamp and quarters, the button holes also often tear out in the wearing.
To obviate these drawbacks I make a quarter and button stay consisting of a
piece of metal which fastens together the respective parts so as to securely hold
them. The shape may be varied but a flat piece with ends turned down so as to
pass through the leather answers the purpose; this may be ornamented so as to
resemble stitches and another piece may be placed upon the first.
would in some cases answer the purpose.
'
A simple wire
In the accompanying drawing which is a view showing the vamp and quarter
stay. A are the quarters to which are sewn the vamp B.
C is the quarter stay consisting of a strip of metal pierced with holes corre-
sponding to the eyelets in the quarters and is attached to the quarters by meatis of
the said eyelets D which are turned over the stay and serve to keep it rigid, thus
effectually preventing the vamp from being torn or injured in the centre at its
junction with the quarters.
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 :-
In a boot or shoe the combination with the eyelets D on each quarter, of a
quarter stay such as C secured to the said eyelets substantially as and for the
purpose specified.
