COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Vegetable Glue, and a Process for Manufacturing
the same.
I, SIEGFRIED HERZBERG, of 139, Potsdamerstrasse, Berlin, Doctor of Medicine,
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 new or improved vegetable glue and to a process for
manufacturing the same, and has for its objects the production of a strongly
adhesive glue in a simple and cheap manner. It consists essentially of dissolving
potato flour in acidulated water and afterwards adding an alkali thereto.
A convenient method of producing a glue according to this invention is as
follows: To a suitable quantity of water, preferably soft or rain water, is added
from 2 to about 6% of sulphuric acid, this acidulated water is then gradually
warmed and has slowly added thereto with continual stirring from 5 to 30%
(according to the purpose for which the resultant glue is required) of potato flour,
when the potato flour is perfectly dissolved, which may take from one to three
hours there is added from 2 to 5% of sodium hydroxide (Na H 0) or other suit-
able alkali, after having cooled the glue is ready for use or for being filled into
bottles or other receptacles for storing.
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) A vegetable glue consisting essentially of potato flour dissolved in warm
acidulated water to which is afterwards added a suitable alkali.
(2) A process for the manufacture of a vegetable glue characterized by the fact
that water, acidulated with from 2 to about 6% of sulphuric acid, is warmed and
has added thereto with constant stirring from 5 to 30% of potato flour and after
the flour has become dissolved adding from 2 to 5% of a suitable alkali such as
sodium hydroxide.
(3) A new or improved vegetable glue and a process for manufacturing the same
substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Picture Frames.
I, MAX THEILE, of 37, Thalstrasse, Leipzig, Gilder, 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 picture frames, and in the following description I make
reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which, Fig. 1, is a front view,
Fig. 2, a back view, and Fig. 3, an enlarged cross section. The improvements
consist essentially in casting the whole of the frame a in one piece, the material
employed being plaster compounded or treated with glutinous binding material.
The frames may be recessed or hollowed out as shewn by the cross section. To
increase the strength, stout linen or the like can form the back of or be embedded
in the plaster. After casting the frame receives a coating of glue or size and may
then be gilt, bronzed, or otherwise ornamented. Gilt or other strips may be
glued or otherwise attached to the frame, and other ornamental pieces may be
similarly attached. In order to further strengthen the frame, I sometimes provide
a backing d of wood or other material, the mitred corners of which can be covered
by the corner pieces e.
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 method of constructing plaster picture frames, the said method
consisting essentially in casting them in one piece, the plaster being compounded
with a glutinous material and laid on or having embedded within it stout textile
fabric, the said frame being afterwards coated with size, and if desired backed with
wood or the like, the whole substantially as described in the above specification,
and exemplified in the accompanying sheet of drawings.

New or Improved Material for Flooring.
I, HEINRICH EICHLER, of 148 Gartenstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Inventor, 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 a new material for flooring which I
manufacture preferably in the shape of flags or plates. These flags are made with
sawdust in the state it is found when leaving the saw, but it must first be sifted
or screwed to remove the splinters which are mixed up with it.
The upper dark layer of these flags is formed of sawdust coloured by means of
a tanning liquor.
The saw-dust forming the star or any other design incrusted in the flag is dyed
by means of mahogany liquor whilst the remaining mass of the flag is made of
ordinary saw-dust.
The flags are composed of saw-dust, quartz and pulverized lime. The lime must
not be slacked but reduced to powder by the action of the air.
For the fabrication of the flags a certain quantity of quartz is mixed with pul-
verized lime which decomposes the quartz; the result of this mixture is a paste
which being mixed with saw-dust, is introduced into a mould and afterwards
compressed.
If the flag must be incrusted with a star or any other design, a plate of suitable
thickness is screwed to the bottom of the mould and having a form corresponding
with that of the design to be incrusted. When the flag is taken from the mould,
the design is imprinted in it and the hollow which results, is filled with saw-dust
dyed with mahogany liquor and mixed with the above mentioned paste, after the
flag has reposed during half a day.
Afterwards the flag is dried, and when it is quite dry it is smoothed on a grind-
stone, because, after drying, its surface always presents more or less unevenness
resulting from the evaporation of the water which is in the paste.
The compression may be effected by means of a simple hand-press, for this
purpose the presses used for fire-bricks will suffice.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A new or improved material for flooring composed of a mixture of quartz
and pulverized lime, to which ordinary saw-dust, previously sifted and coloured
according to necessity by means of tanning or mahogany liquor, is added.
2. Flags or plates for flooring made with the above claimed material.

A Syphon Delivery Device for Liquids.
Year: 1897

page_text: Date of Application, 13th May, 1897-Accepted, 19th June, 1897
A Syphon Delivery Device for Liquids.
I, FRIEDRICH LUDWIG ALBERT RIEMANN, of No. 8 Lohmühlenstrasse,
Altona-on-the-Elbe, in the German Empire, Coppersmith, 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 apparatus for the drawing off and delivery of liquids.
Hitherto it has been the practice to effect the drawing off and delivery of liquids
by syphonage, started by suction through the mouth; this method is cumbersome,
and for corrosive and other unpalatable liquids, a special pump or suction tube is
required, the operation being thus rendered difficult and inconvenient. This
invention consists of a device for drawing off and delivering liquids mechanically.
In order that this invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing showing a
vertical longitudinal section of the device, and to the letters and figures marked
thereon.
The device consists essentially of a suction pipe a from which branches off an
exit pipe b. Both pipes can be lengthened or shortened by the insertion of tubes
attached by means of socket nuts c.
Each of the tubes a and b is provided at the end with a hand suction apparatus,
consisting principally of a stuffing box d' screwed into a cap d, and of a rod f
provided with a piston e. A flexible tube g is attached to the lower end of the
suction pipe a by means of a screw coupling, in order to bring the liquid any desired
way. The lower end of the exit pipe b is provided with short pipe through
which the liquid is delivered.
When it is required to draw off any liquid by this device, the suction tube a is
placed into the liquid, the piston e is drawn beyond the connection with the pipe b
and the liquid to be drawn off follows the piston and flows into the exit pipe b.
The piston e of the exit pipe is now drawn back beyond the short tube i, the liquid
to be delivered flows through the latter and may be collected in a suitable vessel
placed under it.
By this apparatus any liquid may be drawn off, and if it is to be used for
corrosive liquids, such as acids, &c., it is preferably made of glass, while for other
liquids it may be conveniently made of metal.
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 :-
Apparatus for the drawing off and delivery of liquids, consisting of a suction
pipe a provided at its upper end with a hand suction device efd, for the suction of
liquid, and an exit pipe b, branching off from the suction pipe below the suction
device efd, the lower end of such exit pipe being provided with a delivery pipe i,
below which is also arranged a hand suction device eƒ d, for delivering the liquids
substantially as described.

A communication to me from LUDWIG ROHRMANN, of Krauschwitz, near Muskau,
in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, 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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
This invention relates to earthenware wormpipes for stills, and supports for such
pipes, constructed on the same principle as those for which I have already applied
for Letters Patent, dated December 21st, A.D. 1896, and numbered 29345, in
which lateral supports and framing are rendered unnecessary, the several coils of
pipes resting upon each other, and suitable projections being formed upon them for
the purpose. In such method of construction, however, it is very difficult to burn
the earthenware pipes without defects in parts of the supports and adjoining pipes,
and the openings for the passage of the cooling water are easily broken.
The accompanying drawing is in illustration of the novel method of making and
arranging the apparatus, which forms the subject of the present invention, and
which overcomes these objections.
Figure 1 is a transverse section,
Figure 2 a plan, and
Figures 3 and 4 transverse sections, on a larger scale, showing the double feet
of the independent support for the pipe.
The independent supports b, b, for the pipe a, which they surround, are of
suitable length and are provided with double feet, and are of course made with the
same curve as the pipe which they carry. They are separated into two parts, an
upper and a lower part, through the horizontal line c, so that one part can be
readily introduced under the pipe.
It is evident that the improved method of arrangement is applicable to pipes of
any cross section, (as illustrated, for instance, in Figure 4), and the pipes and
supports are entirely separate and independent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination, with helical earthenware still-worm pipes, of short supports
in which the separate coils of the pipes rest, the supports having double feet 6, and
being entirely separate from each other, and the upper part of each support being
separate from the lower part at c, substantially as described and illustrated.

page_text: improvements in Globes for Lampз with inverted Flame.
I, CHARLES KNAEPS, of 95 Boulevard du Hainaut, Bruxelles in the Kingdom
of Belgium, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
In systems hitherto used for lighting lamps with inverted flame, one must
always open the globe to light up, which is troublesome.
In order to avoid this inconvenience I have invented a shallow globe diminish-
ing in depth towards the burner.
This globe is perforated under the burner and this opening can if desired be
provided with a regulator for regulating the admission of the air. It is through
this opening that the lighting up takes place and the passage of the air for
augmenting the illuminating power.
In order to give to the flame an increased draught, I suspend to the burner a
small glass-cylinder which is attached to the burner one can therefore with
impunity open the globe without fearing to let this tube or cylinder fall.
When the globe is closed the cylinder reposes upon a small gallery in the base
of the globe and thus becomes one with it.

We, JULIUS MARINUS ELENORUS SCHIÖNNING, Manager, of St. Kongensgade, 63,
Copenhagen, Denmark, and CARL GEORG CONRAD ARVE, Manager, of Hellerupvej, 36,
Hellerup, Denmark, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to a cover for pneumatic tyres for cycles and
similar vehicles whereby to prevent injury to the air-tube even if the cover
should be punctured by a sharp object.
To this end the cover consists of two india-rubber strips of semi-circular cross-
section cemented upon any suitable lining. This lining may preferably be
composed of parallel threads extending either across or aslant the length of the
ring; but in general any woven lining may be used.
The two separate parts of the cover are placed one upon the other and united
at the edges upon the same wires or are secured in any other way upon the wheel
rim but they are not cemented or vulcanized together at the middle.
A similar construction may be employed in the case of a single ring or tube
of circular cross section the middle in this case also consisting of two separate
layers.
This construction presents this advantage, that if the outer layer be punctured
the inner layer of the cover will yield to the puncturing object and will still
afford an effective protection for the air-tube.
An example of the Invention is illustrated in cross-section in the accompanying
drawings in which a bare the two rubber strips, each canvas-lined and united
only at their edges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
An antipuncturing cover for pneumatic tyres for cycles and similar vehicles
consisting of two india rubber covers of semi circular or circular section cemented
on a suitable lining (formed for instance of mutually parallel threads extending
across or aslant the length of the ring) the said covers being superposed and
fastened upon the rim in such a manner that they are separate in the middle,
substantially as and for the purpose specified.

A Locking Attachment for the Fasteners of Corset Busks and
the like.
ALBERT PATTERSON, Clerk, 29, Hastings Street, Hendon, Sunderland, and
SAMUEL MORRIS, Watchmaker, 12, Hudson Road, Sunderland, 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 fasteners of corset busks and the like, and has for its
object, the locking securely of the fasteners when in use. Also to afford greater
facility in the operation (in the case of corset busks) of fastening the corset by
locking the top fastener, while the lower fasteners are being inserted or by locking
the bottom fastener whilst the upper fasteners are being inserted.
This invention consists of a hook "C" of suitable material attached by a small
rivet "B" to the eyes of corset busk " A."
The hook "C" is made to suitable dimensions to fit round and underneath the head
of stud or fastener "D" which stud "D" in the usual way fastens the corset together.
The hook "C," is rivetted loosely on the eye "A," to allow it to lock and unlock,
round the shoulder of the stud "D."
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the method of making the hook "C," is,
by stamping it out with a die.
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 what we
claim is:-
1st. The hook shewn in the Figures 1, 2 and 3, and lettered "C."
2nd. A hook, to form a locking attachment substantially as described.

page_text: Improvements relating to Stoppers for Bottles and Jars.
I JOHN TOMLINSON of York Terrace, Stairfoot, near Barnsley in the County
of York, Flint Glass Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in stoppers for bottles and jar which are
used in conjunction with a sleeve or lining made of cork, indiarubber or other
suitable substance.
I make the said stopper with one or more continuous projecting threads or ridges
which wind in a waving or zigzag manner round the circumference of the body of
the stopper.
When the cork or other sleeve or lining is forced over the ridges or threads on the
stopper and the whole is pressed into the mouth of the bottle or jar the sleeve is
embedded on the continuous threads or ridges thus rendering the mouth of the bottle
or jar airtight. The sleeve being embedded on the stopper is thereby compelled
to move with the stopper in every direction.

I JOHN TOMLINSON of York Terrace, Stairfoot, near Barnsley, in the County
of York, Flint Glass 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:—
My invention relates to improvements in stoppers for bottles and jars which are
used in conjunction with a sleeve or lining made of cork, indiarubber or other
suitable substance; such stoppers to be made of glass, earthenware, or other
suitable material.
I make the said stoppers with one or more continuous projecting threads or ridges
which wind in a waving or zigzag manner round the circumference of the body of
the stoppers. When the cork or other sleeve or lining is forced over the ridges or
threads on the stopper and the whole is pressed into the mouth of the bottle or
jar the sleeve is embedded on the continuous threads or ridges thus rendering the
mouth of the bottle or jar airtight.
The sleeve being embedded on the ridges of the stopper as aforesaid is thereby
compelled to move with the stopper in every direction.
The shape and size of the stoppers, and the number and arrangement of the
continuous projecting zigzag ridges or threads may be varied to suit different sizes
and shapes of bottles or jars.
Bottles or jars when fitted with the stoppers as described may be used for either
solids or liquids.

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
A stopper with a continuous zigzag or waving ridge or ridges substantially as
described and for the purposes specified.

page_text: I, SAMUEL JORDAN KENT, of No. 332, Goswell Road, London, E.C., Managing
Director of a Joint Stock Company, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
My invention refers to an improved rim brake adjustable to any machine. I
am aware that there are several brakes of a similar nature, but the present brake
varies considerably from these, viz., instead of rubber coming in contact with
the rim is used a small piece of hard sole leather placed edgeways in a dove-
tailed shoe, and the power is increased by a long and short lever. A flat adjust-
able plate is fixed to the crown of the bicycle by means of a band and nut, or
bolt only, with slit for adjustment, and the lever or arms are hinged to these.
The brake is applied in the same way as the ordinary well known spoon brake,
viz., by means of a lever from the handle bar.

I, SAMUEL JORDAN KENT, of 332, Goswell Road, London, E.C., Managing
Director of a Joint Stock Company, 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:-
My invention refers to an improved rim brake adjustable to any machine. I
am aware that there are several brakes of a similar nature, but the present brake
differs considerably from these, viz., in being adjustable to any kind of frame.
This is effected by means of a flat plate B fixed to the crown of the front fork
by means of a band and nut, or bolt only, a slot about two inches in length is
cut through this plate, which allows the brake to be adjusted to that extent.
The brake acts like a pair of tongs upon the rim, and is applied in the same
nanner as the ordinary well known spoon brake, by means of a lever from the
handle bar, the parts clipping the rim are preferably of leather.
In the annexed drawings A A are the levers which are jointed. at c and d.
B is the flat plate attached to the crown and b is the adjusting slot. C is the
handle bar lever, and e is the spring which releases the brake when the pressure
upon the handle bar lever is removed. F is the rim of the tyre upon which the

page_text: brake acts, G is the bolt which fastens the plate B to the crown of the front fork,
and H H are two washers which fit round the ball head tube. I is a piece of
flat steel, to which the mud guard is secured.
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. The invention of a rim brake which can be adjusted to any machine, this
being effected by means of the plate B and slot b.
2. The construction of a brake substantially as described.

Improvements in or relating to Wheel Rims for Pneumatic Tyres.
We, CHRISTIAN HAMILTON GRAY, of the Indiarubber, Guttapercha, and Telegraphs
Works Company Limited, of Silvertown, in the County of Essex, Indiarubber
Manufacturer, and THOMAS SLOPER, of 14 and 15, Brittox, Devizes, in the County
of Wilts, House Furnisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to pneumatic tyred wheels, the object being to increase
the hold of the rim upon the tyre.
In carrying out the invention we form preferably by means of a milling tool
at or about each edge of the rim a series of minute indentations and projections,
not enough to cut through or damage the tyre, but enough to increase the hold
of the rim upon the tyre.
In the case of a rim having an inturned edge such as is to be found in the Palmer
tyre, we prefer to form this milling upon the extreme edge of the lip; in other
cases the milling may be placed at other parts but preferably as near as possible
to where the pressure between the rim and the tyre is greatest.
A convenient way of producing this milling is to employ an ordinary milling tool
of suitable shape.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention applied to a hollow rim
shaped to receive a Palmer tyre.
Hitherto the rims for tyres of this class have been made with the inturned edges
quite plain. In transmitting driving power from the rim to the tyre when iu
use, a strain occurs in a line approximately tangential to the rim, and the object
of our invention is to form a better junction between the rim and the tyre at this
position where the transmission of driving power takes place.
We are aware that tyres have been made having sharp denticulations arranged
in the bed or hollow of the rim, so as to pierce the substance of the tyre and thus
to hold it on to the rim, and we make no claim to such an arrangement.
We prefer that the bed or hollow of the rim shall be plain, and the denticulations
which we employ at about the edge or point of greatest pressure are not for the
purpose of preventing the tyre from leaving the rim, as we prefer to employ the
usual bead on the tyre for this purpose.
**
We do not confine ourselves to any particular form or pattern for milling the
rims, and it will be understood that by the term denticulations" we mean any
suitable alteration of, or addition to, the plain surface of the rim at the position
mentioned as will have the effect described.
Along each edge A are formed denticulations A¹ giving sufficient roughness
to the edges of the rim to increase their hold upon the tyre.

A New or Improved Boot Varnish.
We, THOMAS GRANTHAM, of 21 Finchley Road, London, N.W. Butler, and JoHN
JOSEPII GRANTHAM, of Cokenach Park, Royston, in the County of Herts Butler,
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 object to produce a new or improved boot varnish, which
is calculated to give a bright polish to boots or shoes treated with it and can be
applied with great facility and as easily be washed off.
In carrying out our invention in practice we prepare a compound of the various
substances hereinafter enumerated, the respective ingredients being determined as
to quantity according to the quantity of varnish we wish to produce.
For three pints of varnish, for instance, we take three quarters of a pound of
Gum Arabic, one quarter of an ounce of Green Copperas, one quarter of an ounce
of Logwood, three ounces of sugar candy, and mix with a solution of one half pint
of water and one half pint of black writing ink. We leave this compound to
stand for, say, three days, stirring the same from time to time to effect and facili-
tate proper dissolution of the solid substances and a thorough mixing of the ingre-
dients, and then add another liquid compound, consisting of one half pint of water,
one quarter of a pint of beer, one quarter of a pint of methylated spirits, half a
tea spoon full of Extract of Logwood and one half ounce of isinglass, dissovled in
one half pint of lukewarm water.
After thoroughly mixing the liquid compound, it is strained in suitable manner
and drawn off into bottles or the like, ready to be applied to the leather by means
of a brush, sponge, or other convenient means.
Having now particularly de-cribed and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
A new or improved varnish for boots or shoes consisting of and prepared from
the herein before enumerated ingredients and proportions thereof, substantially
as set forth.

Improvements in Photographic Printing Frames.
We, JOHN WILKINSON, and ALFRED WILKINSON, both of 6 Oswald Street,
Rochdale Road, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Photographic Apparatus
Manufacturers, 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 improvement in photographic printing frames.
The object of this invention is to prevent the compression spring at the back of
the frame from causing an obstruction when opening the flap, or being strained
when the flap is opened for examining the progress of the work. In the accom-
panying drawing Fig. 1 is a plan view and Fig. 2 an edge view of an ordinary
photographic printing frame; Fig. 3 is a plan view and Fig. 4 a transverse
sectional view of a photographic printing frame with our invention applied.
In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.
In photographic printing frames as represented in Fig. 1 hitherto employed,
the compression spring c when released from the side grooves 6 generally turn
round more or less in the position shown by dotted lines, and as a consequence,
until removed, the flaps f can only be opened a short distance as shown in Fig. 2.
In this invention in order to remedy this defect, we form an opening, crescent
shaped preferably, as d in the spring c Fig. 3, on one side of the pivot e that
secures the spring c to the back of the frame, and fit a stud g in said opening.
When the ends of the springs c are withdrawn from the grooves 6 the extent to
which said springs can be turned is limited by the aforesaid stud gas represented
by dotted lines in Fig. 3. By these means the springs are prevented from causing
obstruction in opening the flaps.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
:―
In photographic printing frames the use of compression springs in which is an
opening preferably crescent shaped as d through which a stud is fitted so, that
the radial action of said springs is limited in extent when their ends are with-
drawn from the grooves in the frame, substantially as and for the purpose herein
before described.
efore desCITO.
