page_text: Improvements in and Connected with Reflectors for Asbestos or
Incandescent Gas Fires.
We, THOMAS FLETCHER and ALFRED CLARE both of Thynne Street Warrington in
the County of Lancaster Manufacturers of Gas Apparatus 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 :-
÷
As reflectors for asbestos or incandescent gas fires are ordinarily constructed up to
the present time they are liable to tarnish and otherwise deteriorate with comparative
rapidity while if they are lacquered the lacquer becomes softened by the heat and the
surface becomes covered with adherent dust, it has therefore for a long time been a
desideratum to obtain a reflecting surface which should be capable of remaining
unsullied for a considerable period. Hitherto however all efforts having this object in
view have failed in practice, while at the same time the widely extending use of gas
fires has increased the request for improved reflectors.
These Improvements have for their object to render more perfect and permanent the
reflecting surfaces of reflectors employed in conjunction with asbestos or incandescent
gas fires and consist in a combination of a reflecting surface of metallic gold, with
a back plate or body of suitable metal. The body of the reflector may be of copper,
brass or other suitable or convenient metal and the gold may be mechanically welded
thereon or deposited thereon by electrolysis or by the process of mercury gilding, all
of which processes are well understood.
Reflectors constructed according to these Improvements have not only reflecting
surfaces of greatly increased permanence but they also give a bright and cheerful
appearance which greatly adds to their working value.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
As a reflector for an asbestos or incandescent gas fire; the combination of a
reflecting surface consisting of a film or coating of metallic gold, with a backing of
copper or other suitable metal; substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described.

page_text: HENRY BOWATER Iron Roller New St. Cradley Brierley Hill do hereby declare
the nature of invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvement is accomplished in the following manner by passing the gas
through a heated channel, or channels, or passage, or passages, in the retort or in
connection with the retort, or gas generator, or at a distance from the retort or
generator previous to entering or after leaving the gas holder by passing the
gas through heated channels the properties are blended together and prepared for
ignition and are rendered superior for heating & illuminating purposes.
1st. I claim for my improvement that coal or coal slack of an inferior quality
will give as bright a light as best coal under the usual system.-2nd. That gas
works may be built at a less cost as the hydraulic purification is dispensed with.-
3rd. That the passing of the gas through heated channels, distroys all obnoxious
smells and generates into gas those black particles which are usualy deposited in
the purifiers consequently more gas is produced and when ignited is hotter & more
suitable for heating purposes since it is not deprived of any illuminating or heating
properties. 4th. That the heat dries up the moisture therefore dispenses with the
necessity of pumping the tar water out of the main pipes.
The channels or passages may be heated to a white heat the hotter the gas as
been heated the brighter will be the light,

JAMES WALKER 4 America Square Minories London in the county of Middlesex
Mill Furnisher, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
I construct the body of the oil-can or feeder by stamping it in one piece, out of
steel, or iron, or other suitable metal. In order to fix the spout I place a shield on
the body, the spout is then screwed into the shield, A Fig. 1.
The valve to regulate the flow of oil is formed in the shield and held in its place
by a spring kept in by the spout or by a spring secured under button at handle,
or by a flat spring as shown in dotted lines (Fig. 1).
The object of applying valve and spring in such a manner, is, that all the
working parts come outside the body, thereby being easily renewed or repaired
also the valve & spindle can be taken out and the body of the can cleaned. Fig. 1.
The stopper or filler is constructed with a hinged cover, the plug is inserted
through the cover & screwed into the bottom of the filler. The cover may also
have a plug, to fit the filler, held down by a spring over the cover to make a tight
joint. Fig. 4.
In large size oil-cans I construct a handle of wire or otherwise for the purpose
of carrying the can when not in use B. (Fig. 1.)
When the oil-can is wanted to discharge only one drop at a time I place a wire
in the spout which regulates the flow of the oil to one drop as in needle lubricators.
(Fig. 2.)
When the oil can is wanted to discharge oil some distance from the can I place
a valve on the can as shown in Fig. 3. It then acts as a squirt can having a small
air-valve for admitting air, otherwise the can is air-tight. The can may be filled
by taking the valve out, but to this modification I lay no special claim.
>
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 placing of the working parts outside the can.
2nd. The construction of the stopper or filler. Fig. 4.
3rd. The general construction of oil-cans as shown in the accompanying
drawings.

I RICHARD HARTSHORNE of 149 Great Charles Street Birmingham, in the County
of Warwickshire, Merchant hereby do declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED METHOD OF ATTACHING METAL PINS TO PORCELLAIN KNOBS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:—
The Porcellain or Earthenware Knob is first pressed into shape in a mould, a hole
is then made in the Knob which penetrates to two thirds the centre of the Knob, but
not quite through, leaving a plain unbroken surface on top.
The hole is graduated in size being larger at the inside extremity than at the outer
opening. The Knob is then hardened by Fire.
When the Knob is complete and quite cold, molten Metal in a liquid state, is poured
into the hole of Knob, which spreading itself through all parts of the graduated hole
inside the Knob, adheres to the inside surface of the porcelain Knob and is rendered
doubly secure by taking a wedge shape when cold, the larger end being inside while
the opening to hole of Knob is considerably smaller at the outlet, than the centre.
The projecting Metal pin is a continuation of the Metal, and is formed by being
cast in an ordinary mould, similar to a Bullet mould.
Illustrations of the Metal pin are herewith furnished showing position and shape.
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 Invention of an improved method of attaching metal pins to Porcelain or
Earthenware Knobs by means of a graduated hole in centre of Knob, into which
liquid metal is poured thereby imparting a wedge shape to metal pin, which also
adheres to the inside of Knob and secures an additional firmness.

page_text: I, THOMAS BUTLER of the firm of Thomas Butler & Sons of 192 Aston Road
Birminghain in the County of Warwick Tin Plate Workers, do hereby declare the
nature of my 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 tea pots and has special
reference to the lids of oval ones which offer greater facility for draining the
condensed steam back into the pot inself so as to avoid any moisture running down
the outside thereof and it will be seen that the invention is also applicable to other
purposes such for instance as Coffee Pots.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have
illustrated one example of the said improvements:
Figure 1. is a perspective view of a pot and lid so made but with the lid opened
sufficiently to show both the outside and inside thereof.
Figure 2. is a cross section through the plate of tin and dies A. B after passing
through the stamp and before being finished.
Figure 3. is a similar section through the lid at C. D. showing the form when
finished.
The pot E is shown in perspective by Figure 1. and the lid K is partly open thus
showing the rabbit k¹ which is formed entirely by the projection * and the
manufacture is accomplished in the following manner:- -We take a sheet of tin and
stamp the lid in the dies A. B. to the shape shown and we then take the article so
stamped with the flange k³ standing up and we spin inwards the said flange /²
until it takes the shape shown at Figure 3 and Figure 1. It will therefore be
clearly seen that any steam accumulating under the lid will run down to the
internal edge so formed and thus we are able by this process to make a lid that
properly covers the edge of the pot and yet finishes inside from one piece of tin or
metal which is both stiff strong economical and effective.

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 improvements in tea or other pots for holding hot liquid of the metal of the
lid K spun inwards from its larger diameter or diameters in such a manner as to
form the rabbit k¹ and the dripping edge k² substantially as herein set forth.

Improvements in Rubber Pad Covers for Carriage Steps.
We JOHN THOMAS DICKEY of 538 Hudson Street, Rubber Worker, and ELMER
HARRIS ROGERS, of Perry Street Physician, both residing at Trenton in the County
of Mercer and State of New Jersey, one of the United States of America, do hereby
declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Rubber Pad Covers for carriage-steps have been employed heretofore; but they
have always been secured in place by clamps of some kind secured by screws to the
metallic step. Usually they have a thin margin adapted to fold over the edge of the
step and be clamped against the underside thereof by a frame secured by screws.
The object of this improvement is to avoid the necessity, of using screws or clamps
of any kind, and therefore to avoid the liability of loosening detachable parts and the
difficulties attending the placing and securing the pad in that or any similar way, by
making the pad with a pocket on its under side having sufficient elasticity to permit
it to be passed over the corners of the shoe, and yet rigidly enough to retain its shape
and place after being so attached.

An Improved Firework or Imitation Volcano..
GEORGE PINDER Firework Manufacturer Edwinstowe near Newark Notts do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
This invention consists in an improved firework or imitation volcano constructed
substantially as hereinafter described so as to produce, when lighted, a continuous jet
of coloured fire with lava, flowing from it.
Fig. 1 on the accompanying drawing illustrates the said firework in elevation and
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the saine; Fig. 3 represents a modified form of the
same.
The said firework consists of an outer case A of conical shape open at the top a¹
and closed at the bottom a², which is made of paper, cardboard or other suitable
material and filled with ordinary coloured fire composition. The opening a¹ is closed
by a covering of thin paper.
The imitation volcano above described is lighted at the top and as the composition
burns down inside the case a flame of fire is thrown upwards to a considerable lieight
through the outlet a¹ being contracted, which also causes a roaring noise. Iniitation
lava, which is the inconsummable part of the coloured fire composition, is also thrown
out with the flame.
It will be evident that so long as the sides of the case are inclined so as to obtain a
contracted outlet the shape of the case may be varied without departing from the
nature of my invention as for instance the case may resemble a pyramid having a
square or polygonal base as shewn by Fig. 3.
a
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,

Improvements in the Treatment of Ropes and the like, and
Composition therefor.
I, REINHOLD TROITZSCH of Charlottenburg in the Empire of Germany, Inventor
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The process hitherto employed for impregnating cordage by means of wood tar,
has this evil that the cordage so impregnated after more or less use becomes brittle
and the tar hardens. A further evil also exists, the cordage not being dry, the tar
consequently remains sticky.
These disadvantages are overcome by the following process.
Two to seven per cent of paraffin heated to boiling temperature is added to the
heated wood tar, and the mixture is subsequently boiled. The tar by the addition
of paraffin becomes more fluid, and consequently penetrates with greater ease into
the cordage to be impregnated which becomes very pliable and dries immediately.
This process will be of special advantage for ship's rigging.

metal A the body of the handle being formed by A¹ and the end being formed by A².
The two shoulders a³ and a become locking tongues when A' is bent up into the position
shown by Figures 2 and 3 as they enter the hole as and are turned over flat as seen at
Figure 2 thus locking the under part of the handle while the unsevered connection a
holds the upper part thereof thus completing the whole handle ready to rivet and to

We WILLIAM JOHN PILKINGTON WALKER Holland Road Sonth Norwood, Surrey,
Engineer and WILLIAM PETO WALKER, 49 Russell Street North Brixton Surrey
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention consists of a plain metal tube or socket of any required length or
thickness of just sufficient diameter inside to take three wires of the gauge required
at a driving fit, or two wires of the gauge to be coupled and one of another gauge to
make a driving fit with the other two; the ends of the wires to be coupled are then
passed through the tube or socket in opposite directions, the key piece as described
above is then driven in flush with the ends of the tube or as otherwise desired and the
ends of the wires to be coupled are bent over, at or nearly at right angles over the
ends of the key piece and then cut off flush with the outside diameter of the tube, or
the ends of the wires to be coupled may be bent as described above before inserting
through tube, only care must be taken that they be not bent too long so that they
cannot be passed through the tube with one wire inserted in the before-mentioned
tube.

page_text: Sometimes however we first shape the ends a and b of the wires in the manner
shown, then insert them through the tube or socket c and drive in the key piece.
This method is suitable where the wires are strained tight after being coupled or
joined.
Figures 4 and 5 shew the modification according to which the wires are doubled so
that the ends themselves may serve as key pieces.

it is of such a size that the doubled ends fit it tightly; they are inserted as shown in
Figure 5 and then the wires are strained and the ends are driven back into the tube
or socket until the joint takes the form shown in Figure 4.
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 method substantially as described of coupling wires by inserting them
through a tube or socket with a longitudinal key piece and bending the ends as herein

stick with my improvement applied thereto.
Figure a plan of the same.
Figure 3 a sectional side view of an improved candle holder placed in the socket
of a candle stick.
Figure 4 is an underside view of the holder and Figure 5 is a sectional side view
of a candle holder showing the springs underneath of a different shape to those
shown at Figure 3.
The object of my invention is to facilitate the burning of those bits of candle
that are usually wasted, the said bits being too short for the socket of an ordinary
candle stick.
This I effect in two ways.
First instead of forming the top of the candle stick with a socket in the
ordinary way I form the top of a solid dished plate A provided with pins B
projecting upwards from the bottom of the dish, the candle itself can be placed
between the pins and will then burn itself out almost to the last particle, the
slight portion then remaining may be readily cleansed from the dished top.
Secondly I employ candle holders each formed with a dished plate A provided
with pins B as before described and having four springs or projecting bits C
secured to the underside of the plate either by rivetting or soldering, the springs
may be of either of the shapes shown at Figures 3 and 5 or of other suitable shape,
upon the springs being inserted in the socket of an ordinary candlestick, the
candle being held by the pins B as before described, when it has been burnt away,
the holder may be removed from the candle stick to be cleaned.

page_text: One such candle holder is shown at Figure 3 inserted in the socket of a
candle stick.
.
I do not confine myself to any particular shape or size of candle holder.
By either method bits and ends of candles may be burnt which would otherwise
be wasted.
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 candle stick and candle holder substantially as described and
illustrated in the Drawings annexed.

Improvements in Boxes for Vice Screws.
I SAMUEL DAVIES of Llyswen R.S.O. Breconshire, Engineer do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BOXES FOR VICE SCREWS, to be as
follows
The Box is made of Gun-metal haveing the internal square threaded screw chased in
the solid metal. On each side it has a projection which forms trunnions or fulcrum
giving the Box a swiveling or self-adjusting motion by which it automaticaly adjusts
itself and is always in line with the Screw. (See drawing). No. 1. Fig. 1, shows
the Box full size fitted to a Carpenters Vice Screw, the Box is kept in its place by
thin straps of iron and wood screws as shown in position on the Box.
Fig. 2, is a section of Box cut through trunnions showing internal screw.

page_text: I SAMUEL DAVIES of Llyswen R.S.O. Breconshire Engineer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The Boxes are made of Gun-metal, haveing the internal square thread screw chased
in the solid metal. On each side there a projection, these extend from one end of
the Box to the centre forming trunnions or fulcrums giving the box when fixed in
position a swiveling or self adjusting motion by which it automatically adjusts itself
to the ever varying angle of the screw, and is therefore always in line with the same.
(See drawings sent with Provisional Specification). No. 1, Fig. 1, shows the Box
full size fitted to a Carpenters Vice Screw.
There are suitable straps of iron and screws (shown in drawings) to keep the box
in position, and are so fitted as to allow the box to swivel about 25 deg.
Fig. 2, is a section of Box full size cut through trunnions showing internal screw.
Having thus briefly 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-
That inasmuch as the screw and box are always in a direct line a much greater
degree of accuracy can be attained in fitting them together than with any other kind
of Box, and that all transverse strain of the screw is entirely removed giving it when
in work a smooth even motion which cannot be acquired by any other means, besides,
adding to the durability of both Box and screw.

Making Earthenware Vessels Correct Measure.

I, JOHN RHODES Commercial Traveller 87 Hall Street Burslem Staffordshire do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for MAKING EARTHENWARE VESSELS
CORRECT MEASURE to be as follows:-
The vessels are to be made of such a size that after the first firing they hold
rather more than the required quantity.
5
After the first firing they are to be measured, and a piece of ware inserted of
such a size as to fill up the surplus space.
This piece of ware is to be dipped in the glaze at the same time as the vessel it
is adapted to, on the bottom of which it is placed, and to which it becomes firmly
secured by the glaze during the second firing.

page_text: I, JOHN RHODES of 87. Hall Street, Burslem, in the county of Stafford,
Commercial Traveller do hereby declare the nature of my invention for MAKING
EARTHENWARE VESSELS CORRECT MEASURE 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 manufacture of earthenware
vessels to be used as measures, by affording a ready and efficient means for
regulating the containing capacity of the vessels to exact measure required.
I effect my object in the following manner. In the first place I have all the
vessels made of such a size that after the first firing they are a little too large.
I then measure them and insert a piece of ware of such a size as to fill up the
surplus space.
This piece is fastened in its place by the glaze during the second firing.
The best and cheapest way of making the pieces for insertion with which I am
acquainted, is with a screw-press, in the same way as ointment pots, and other
small articles are made; and in order to save clay, and keep them of as light a
weight as possible I should prefer to make them concave, somewhat like a small
saucer. This may necessitate in the larger sizes, a provision against the expansion
of the air during firing, and this I should make by piercing a small hole in the
bottom of the vessel in the clay state.. These pieces are to be made of various
sizes. I would also have a small projection in the centre of the hollow part, to
take hold of in measuring.
In measuring I take a vessel, pour into it the required quantity of liquid, and
then select a piece of such a size that, when placed hollow side up on the surface
of the liquid will cause it to rise to the top of the vessel. The liquid is then
poured away and the piece placed inside, hollow side downwards, and sent through
the glost oven after being dipped in the glaze, which firmly secures it in its
place.
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 mode as herein described of regulating the containing capacity of any
earthenware vessel intended to be used as a measure by the insertion of a piece of
ware to fill up the surplus space.
