Utilization of said Zinc for Coating Metals Galvanically.
We JOHN LEA of 75 Arlington Road, Camden Town, Middlesex, Electrical Engineer
and HENRY ROSSI HAMMOND of Bedford Row House, Bedford Row, Middlesex,
Solicitor do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to operate upon zinc ore (Calamine) in a direct manner
by hydrochloric acid or an aqueous solution of chlorine, thus producing a solution of
chloride of zinc.
The solution of chloride of zinc so produced is submitted to Electrolysis the
chlorine being evolved and the zinc deposited.
The chlorine thus formed can be used for operating upon a fresh quantity of
Calamine, or for making chloride of Lime or for other uses to which it is applicable.
The zinc thus deposited may be upon metal as a coating or articles in zinc may be
moulded by deposition.
We are aware that zinc has been deposited and chlorine evolved, said chlorine being
collected for making chloride of lime but in those processes zinc as a metal has been
consumed or dissolved for the purpose. According to our invention we treat or
operate upon zinc ore (Calamine) in a direct manner by hydrochloric acid to produce
chloride of zinc.

page_text: I, WILLIAM ECROYD, of the firm of William Ecroyd & Sons, of Lomeshaye, near
Burnley, in the County of Lancaster, 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 certain improvements in the make of fabrics known as
Balzarines. This particular make of fabric is ordinarily constructed with the
cross-over lines parallel to one another and straight from selvedge to selvedge of
the piece.
The object of this invention is to give to the dulness of surface of an ordinary
Balzarine, lightness, by introducing bright spots or floats upon the surface of the
same, and the breaking up of the straight cross-over lines into links, and other
effects.
This I accomplish by the same warp, that is, ordinary cotton warp, and lustre
or demi-lustre weft, hitherto in use for the manufacture of this class of fabric.
In my improved fabric the lustre weft is floated on the surface of the piece, in
some cases between the cross-over lines, in other cases to the left and right of the
cross-over lines, and in others, spots, forming diagonals upon the surface of the
piece. The spots or floats when varied in size also give different effects and give
to the piece a lightness not possessed by pieces as manufactured hitherto.
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 combination with the ordinary make of Balzarine fabrics, of floats or spots,
thus breaking up the dull surface and straight lines of the cross-over into various
pleasing effects.

Moulder and THOMAS MALLETT N° 24 Henry St Ashted Birmingham Stoker do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It is an heater of cast iron at the end of a tube, of different shapes. This
heater can be cast & screwed on at will, a small cap bonnet or soldering mount,
made of copper or brass, & rivetted to a piece of wrought iron working in a loose
rivet secured to another tube which slides over the other tube & which is moveable
forward & backward longitudinally so as to let the soldering mount escape from
the heater when going to heat the heater in the fire & also after heating to replace
it in a position for soldering. The theory of it is, by the use of this soldering mount
the solder will not perish by leaving the heater in the fire even if left all day
therefore time & trouble of filing & retinning is entirely dispensed with.

mingham, Moulder and THOMAS MALLETT No 24 Henry St. Ashted, Birmingham,
Stoker we do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED
SOLDERING IRON FOR SOLDERING METALS and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
We make our Soldering Iron with a cast iron head to place in the fire (as fig. 7
in drawing attached) to this we connect an iron rod (fig. 6) which is continued to,
and terminates in a wood handle (fig. 1) We arrange on this iron connecting rod
a sliding tube (fig. 3) which is checked by a stop pin in iron rod from sliding
beyond a certain distance. At the end of this sliding tube nearest to the wood
handle is a projection or thumb rest (fig. 2) while at the other end of sliding tube
we attach by means of a rivet or screw (fig. 4) a moveable lever arm (fig. 5) at the
free end of which is fixed a hollow pointed cap, made of brass, copper, or other
suitable material, and of such dimensions as shall readily fit over the point of the
cast iron head (fig. 7) This cap is coated with tin in the same manner as the point
of an ordinary copper bit soldering iron-The arrangement of this moveable lever
arm and sliding tube is such that by a simple push of the thumb on the thumb
rest the hollow pointed cap at the end of the lever arm is thrown off the cast iron
when it is required to place the latter in the fire for getting it made hot & ready
for use.
This arrangement provides for the point of the iron being always kept
clean and ready for use and prevents injury from fire.
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
I. To substitute a cast iron Soldering Iron head with copper or brass point
instead of all copper soldering iron head.
II. The use of a loose removeable soldering point in connection with a soldering
iron head.
III. The combination, action and arrangement of parts as described.

WILLIAM MUGFORD (Clerk) 21 Aldermanbury London E.C. do hereby declare the
nature of our invention for AN ADJUSTABLE BIB APRON and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
We claim by our invention to abolish the expense and risk of cutting and making
Bib Aprons in varied sizes, by the hereinafter mentioned expedient-Instead of
sewing together the bib A and skirt B of Apron as heretofore, we intend to make
the bib A and skirt B in distinct pieces, and upon the band C of skirt to attach an
ornamental lever buckle D, through which the bib A. will pass, and be capable of
adjustment at any required height, by the pressure of the lever buckle D, thus
insuring the perfect fit of the entire apron upon either a slender or fully developed
figure.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
.
"The invention of a Bib Apron which shall be capable of adjustment to any
figure through the attachment of a separate bib A, to skirt B, by means of a lever
buckle D sewn upon band C."

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bleaching Liquid.
We ARTHUR BRIN of 59 Brompton Crescent in the County of Middlesex Engineer
and Chemist and LEON QUENTIN BRIN of 7 Rue Gavarni Paris in the Republic of
France Engineer and Chemist 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 :-
According to this Invention Muriatic or Hydrochloric Acid is caused to absorb
Oxygen. The Acid is exposed to the action of the Oxygen under pressure and with
agitation of the acid whereby intimate contact of the Acid and the Oxygen is secured
and a bleaching liquid surcharged or saturated with Oxygen is formed which is very
energetic in its action-In carrying out our Invention we take the Acid or make a
solution of the Acid in water and we subject it to agitation in a closed vessel and
bring into intimate contact with it Oxygen under pressure so that it becomes saturated
with Oxygen and the bleaching liquid formed is retained under pressure in closed
vessels until required for use when it may be employed in bleaching after the same
manner as that in which bioxide of Hydrogen is employed. We do not limit
ourselves to any particular strength of Acid or Acid Solution but for the purpose
of bleaching textile materials or fibres we find that a five to ten per cent. solution gives
good results.
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 manufacture of bleaching liquid by saturating or impregnating Muriatic or
hydrochloric Acid or a solution thereof with Oxygen.
2. The manufacture of bleaching liquid by agitating Muriatic or Hydrochloric Acid
or a solution thereof in a closed vessel in the presence of Oxygen under pressure as
hereinbefore described.

I OTTO KLAUNIG of Munchen in Kingdom of Bavaria and German Empire,
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:―
My apparatus consists of a horizontal cylinder shaped boiler K, shewing in
Fig. 1 an end view, Fig. 2 shews a cross section, and Fig. 3 shews a longitudinal
section.
The boiler is closed at the ends with turned cast iron plates; in the boiler
there are two revolving attachments A and B concentric to each other, the wings
of A touches the surface of K, so as to serve as a scraper; on the hollow studs
of A, there are spur wheels, that are driven by means of a chain, from counter
shaft V, the shaft B passes through the hollow studs A so as to work quite easy, on
the outside of the boiler; on shaft B there is a pulley keyed on, the pulley and
shaft B, rotates at a quick speed, both revolving attachments are driven from a
shafting with belting, where A receives a very slow, and B a very quick rotating
motion; in the centre of the boiler ends are suction pipes L L, that are connected
to an air pump, also there are at the boiler ends opening M, for filling and emptying
of the apparatus, the boiler is walled in, so that the still hot gases of the steam
boilers or brewing pans are able to pass around the whole surface, and the working.
of this apparatus is as follows.
The boiler is filled with the substance intended to dry, so that the inner revolving
attachment B, dips in same when you set A and B in motion, it then lifts the
substance to the surface of the boiler, and then drops it and it is then carried by
the quick revolving attachment in a centrifugal manner, and thrown on to the hot
surface of the boiler thereby causing a pulverization of the substance as well as an
evaporation of liquids; the generated steam is taken away by the air pump, the
motion of A and B is continued until all the moisture is taken away the dried
mass is then taken out through the manhole,

page_text: 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 :-
The use of two revolving attachments A and B, that work concentric, and at
different speeds, and of which A serves as a scraper, and B as a thrower as shewn 5
and described.
