Improvements in and relating to Ship's Telegraph Dials.
JOHN WILLIAM RAY 8 Canning Place Liverpool Nautical Instrument Maker
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvement claimed consists of painting the opal or glass used for this
purpose with black or other dense colour leaving the orders or name or other matter
on dial the same colour as the glass or opal; the object being to shut out as much
light as possible from the oil-lamp or electric light used for illuminating these dials,
and yet leaving the orders or name or other matter on dial distinctly visible, without
causing a glare liable to affect the officers eyes on dark nights. The dials now in
use for ships telegraphs on deck, have the orders painted in black upon a white
ground which allows an unnecessary amount of light to shine through the dials;
the resultant glare on the bridge interfering with an effective look out.
My improvement is to obviate this fault without diminishing the utility of the
aforesaid telegraph namely by having all portions of the opal or glass dial painted
over with a black or dense colour except such portions used in forming the letters
of the orders or other matter required to be seen.

Ventilating Lamp Screen.
I, AUGUST WOLFF, of Encke-Platz, Berlin, in the German Empire Optician
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 :-
Owing to the circumstance that all light giving rays from lamps at the same
time give heat that is injurious to the nerves of the heads of those who work near
lamp light, endeavours have been made to remedy this evil by the construction of
screens designed to prevent the approach of the heat. They in fact intercepted
the rays of light directed towards the head but were themselves heated and then
gave off the heat to the adjacent space. Referring to the accompanying drawing,
this invention has for object to prevent this redistribution of the intercepted heat
to the adjacent space. This object is attained by means of a perforated or hollow
frame which forms the screen. It may be constructed of any suitable heat resisting
material such as asbestos. There is a vacant space between the two sides a, b, c, d,.
and e, f, g, h, into which lead perforations i, k, respectively through the top and
bottom edges, by which ventilation is obtained. The side to be turned towards the
light has given to it a dark coating, whereby the rays of light are strongly absorbed
and heat communicated thereto. The air between the two sides of the screen is.
thereupon likewise heated and ascends, the outer air at the same time pressing
through the bottom perforations and thus producing a constant circulation of air..
The side e, f, g, h, away from the light prevents extension of the heat to the head
of the user.
This side may be rendered still more impervious to the passage of
the heat by coating it white or suitable light color. The screen may be held in
front of the lamp on a stand, or it may be made of a shape to surround the lamp.
like and instead of the ordinary lamp shade, or it may as shewn in the drawing be
in connection with the lamp through arms m and ball and socket joints / so as to be:
readily adjustable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what L
claim is :-
1. A lamp screen consisting of a hollow frame perforated at its top and bottom
edges in which screen a circulation of air is induced within the frame by the
absorption of the rays of light and the heat simultaneously generated, for the purpose.
specified substantially as described and shewn.
2. A ventilating lamp screen on the principle referred to made to surround the;
lamp and replace the ordinary shade substantially as described.

An Improved Arc Lamp.
We, HENRY ROBERT Low of 41 Beaconsfield Road Twickenham in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, and FRANK ROBERT BROWN, of 1 Castle Yard
Richmond, in the County of Surrey 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 :-
Our invention relates to the construction of an electric arc lamp and its object
is to simplify the mechanism by which the carbons are made to approach each
other.
For this purpose according to our invention we construct a frame A. B. B. C. in
the following manner; A. is a flat box shaped yoke so constructed as to form also
a support for the two wheels d. d. & serves to hold the two sides B B of the
aforementioned frame at the top end, also with the piece E, which serves as a
cover for the box A and to which it is fastened, to act as a suspension bar for the
lamp; B. B. are tubes of brass or other suitable material, on which are fixed
washers fff which serve as cheek pieces for the wire coils or solenoids of the
lamp, the upper washers also acting as fixing pieces for the aforementioned tubes
to the piece A, and the lower washers as the bottom support for the guides g.: Y-
which may be rods or strips but are preferably made of thin wires of suitable
metal strained tight between A and the lower washers or between these latter and
the two upper washers. Slot shaped openings h. h. are cut in the lower part of
the tubes B. B. in such a manner that the ends of the bar j. which carries the
lower carbon holder may project inside the tubes B. B., and long enough to allow
the harj to be moved up and down through a distance equal to or greater than
the length of the negative carbon.
On the ends of the bar are fixed two uprights k. k. of iron rod or tube of such
a diameter as to easily slide within the tubes B. B., these uprights form cores for
the wire coils or solenoids 1. 1. and are attracted or sucked up into them.
To the top ends of these uprights are fastened cords or chains which pass over
wheels d. d. and terminate in the upper carbon holder m.
The piece C. of the frame serves to tie the lower ends of the tubes B. B.
together, and may be provided with a trimming rod n. for use in raising or
lowering the globe of the lamp.
The solenoids 1. 1. are wound as a shunt or derived circuit to the carbons or
they may be wound “differentially" in the usual manner.
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. In an electric are lamp, the use of the parts hereinbefore severally described
substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in the Construction of Rotary Engines, Rotary
Blowers, Pumps, and Water Meters.
I, ROBERT JOHNSON, of 55, Athol Road, Bradford, in the County of York,
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 :—
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of rotary engines,
rotary blowers, pumps and water meters for which Letters Patent No. 12,115 were
granted to me on the Second August 1890 and other similar engines, pumps,
blowers and water meters in which the stuffing boxes and glands for packing the
shafts are placed outside the journals of such shafts. In this construction the
internal pressure is liable to drive out the lubricant from between the journals and
the bearings and force grit and other harmful solid matter between them, and the
object of the invention is to prevent this.
For this purpose the bearings are formed outside the stuffing boxes and glands
and are supported by bracket pieces cast therewith on the end plates of the machine
and openings are left in these bracket pieces large enough to admit of the glands
being placed in position.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying sheet of drawings forming a part of
this Specification in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts
in each of the figures.
Figure 1, represents a side view partly in section of the end or journal plate of a
rotary pump constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2, is a side view of the same partly in section on the broken line a, b of
the former figure.
Figure 3, is a plan view of Figure 1.
The end plate A is provided with bracket pieces B cast thereon and connected
by the bosses C in which the bearing bushes D for the shaft E are fitted. The
bracket pieces B are cut away at their base or junction with A so as to form
openings F large enough to admit the glands G fitting stuffing boxes H formed
in A. The glands G are held in position by the screws J fitting female screw
threads formed in C through which they project and their inner ends bear upon the
side flanges K, K of the gland.
As the bosses C supporting the bushes D are cast solid with the plate and as
such bosses are bored at the same time as the stuffing boxes the perfect alignment
of such parts is readily attained and is not liable to be deranged.
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:
The improved construction of end or bearing plate, of this type of rotary
machine, in which the bearings are formed outside the stuffing boxes and supported
by bracket pieces cast therewith on the end plate leaving openings for the admission
of the glands, substantially as herein shown and described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.

FREDERICK KEARSLEY No. 5 St. Johns Terrace Earl Street Westminster
Stock Keeper 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 improved sponge lined bath glove consists of three pieces of washing
material usually Turkish towelling or similar fabrice two pieces of which serve to
make an ordinary bath glove and are usually about eight inches long by six wide
and rounded at the bottom the third piece is sewn upon the face of the glove
when finished and forms a pocket into which are placed sponge trimmings which
when closed by sewing forms a pad on the face of the glove with the absorbant
power of a sponge combinded with its softness and elasticity. The sponge used
consists of pieces of sponge trimmed from sponges by sponge trimmers to give
them a rounded and finished appearance. The trimmings are the waste product of
sponge trimmers and of the smallest description and have at present no commercial
value.
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
1. That in the improved sponge lined bath glove is confined a bath glove and a
sponge which can be used either oue side or the other. The side with the pad
upon it can be used for bath and washing purposes whilst when the water is wrung
out from the sponge the side can be used for frictional purposes to restore the
circulation of the blood after the bath.
2. The glove has also the great advantage that it can be wrung out almost
dry without injury to it which process would soon destroy the ordinary bath
sponge.
3. The simplicity of its construction in combination with the uterlisation of the

An Improved Cigarette Paper or Covering Material, and Method of
Manufacturing the same.
I, JEAN FRANTZEN of Inden-Grünthal in the Empire of Germany, Paper
Maker 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 :-
Up to the present time cigarette papers have usually been made of rag pulp,
either naturally white raw materials or else bleached rags being used for the
purpose so that the resulting paper may have the white, buff, or yellowish color
usual up to the present time.
Such cigarette paper has however a smell and taste of paper, two factors
detracting considerably from the flavour desirable in a cigarette.
The improved cigarette paper or covering material produced by the present
invention is of a brown color and not only resembles tobacco by its color but has
also the smell and taste of tobacco. These desirable qualities are attained by
forming the paper of a mixture of a suitable amount of tobacco with straw-
cellulose the latter acting as a binding or fulling material.
The method of producing this new paper or material is as follows;-To the
cellulose in a suitable grinding mill is added the desired quantity of rubbed tobacco,
this mixture is then thoroughly worked in a rag engine and the pulp treated in the
usual way by a paper making machine and so converted into a paper of a suitable
kind for cigarette papers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
(1.) A brown paper suitable as a cigarette paper or covering, consisting of
tobacco and cellulose the latter being used as binding material for the former.
(2.) The method of manufacture consisting in grinding together cellulose and
rubbed tobacco, reducing same to pulp for the purpose set forth.

A Composition for Glueing Purposes.
FREDERIC HESS, Gold Embroiderer and Laceman 28 Spital Square E.C. 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 composition is glue, treacle turpentine and linseed oil, made up in the
following manner, for one cwt. as follows. Forty pounds glue four pounds treacle
one pint turpentine one pint linseed oil sixty four pounds water, all boiled together
for eight hours, to be stirred all the time of boiling.
The composition being always in a semi liquid condition never hardens and
consequently for all purposes for which glue is used, possesses a greater advantage
in dissolving very rapidly, thus one pound will dissolve in a basin of boiling water
in four minutes thereby ensuring a great saving of time to all persons who use glue,
also there being no waste should be cheaper.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is,
That the addition of treacle, turpentine & linseed oil to the glue in the manner
aforesaid, constitutes an invention of great utility & value to the public generally.

Improvements in Lead Pencils and in Adapting them for
Measuring Rules and Scales.
I, GEORGE PAWSON, of New Street, Huddersfield, in the County of York,
Woollen Salesman, 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 (which invention has been communicated to me
from abroad by William Douslin, of Johannesburg, Transvaal Republic, South
Africa, Architect) :-
:-
This invention has reference to pencils containing lead or other marking material,
the object of my invention therein being to utilise or adapt such pencils as a
measuring instrument, and for this purpose the pencils are marked, stamped, or
printed so as to represent inches or parts of inches, and also marked with scales,
inaking them adaptable for reducing a drawing or an object. Pencils so marked
may be those in general use and circulation, and may be in cross section, round,
square, oval, hexagonal, octagonal, or other shape.
Pencils graduated as proposed would be of service to engineers, architects,
builders, carpenters, and for use in technical and lower grade schools; and said
pencils would serve a double purpose, for whilst answering for a measure and scale
they could be used in the ordinary way as a pencil. They would also be a means
of educating children at a very early stage to the use and requirements of a
measure, and to arrive more correctly at distances, and they would also be an object
of interest.
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 pencil marked or graduated with inches or parts of inches or scales, in the
manner and for purposes herein described.

Improvements in the Mode of and Means for Covering Fireproof
Girders.
"
I, ARTHUR OCTAVIUS WRIGHT, of 39 St. Johns Road, Birmingham, in the
County of Worcester Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said
nvention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in the mode of and means for
covering fireproof girders by which I retain an air space all round the girder
between the plastic material and the girder itself thus keeping the whole much
cooler in case of fire and this I effect in a simple, cheap, and effective manner.
I also obviate the use of timber cradling which has hitherto been necessary for
nailing the laths.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice, I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1, is a sectional view of a girder having my improved arrangement
applied thereto.
Figure 2, is a cross section through the girder shewing the cradle in
elevation.
Figure 3, is a side elevation of Figure 2.
In carrying my invention into effect the cradle is formed of the two parts A
and A' bolted together by the bolts a¹ and a¹ and fits the girder B as shewn, and
is retained in position by the struts E which are inserted in position and there
retained by the insertion of the bolts a² which are screwed up tight so that as the
ends e of the struts butt against the lower flange of the girder or rolled joist B.
the whole is firmly kept in position. The cradling A Figure 3 is dovetailed to
receive my special laths K or sheets as set forth in my previous Specifica-
tions 702, 7563, 12804, of this year whereby the whole of the material which
receives the plastic composition F is all formed of metal and an air space H is
formed all around the girder B. The cradles are so arranged that the laths are
supported in the centre and also at each end the joints finishing between the parts A
& A' of the cradle so that the ends of the laths are held firmly as well as the
centres.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The improvements in the mode of and means for covering fireproof girders
consisting of the cradling A substantially as and for the purpose herein set
forth and shewn upon the accompanying drawings.

A Manufacture of Woven Fabric for Stiffening Articles of Dress and the like.

A Manufacture of Woven Fabric for Stiffening Articles of Dress and
the like.
I, ADOLF SÜSSMANN, of No. 50 Neudorf Strasse, Breslau, Germany, Manu-
facturer, 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 manufacture of woven fabric which, similarly to woven
fabrics of horse hair or other stiff fibres, is used for stiffening articles of dress and
the like, the production of such fabric being much easier than that of similar fabrics
heretofore produced while it is much more durable than these.
It can also be more readily adapted to any particular purpose.
The material which I employ for the production of this woven fabric, is made of
any common metal wire covered with cotton, woollen or silk threads, such covered
wire being employed either by itself for warp and weft or together with cotton,
woollen or silk threads, and woven in the following manner.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings shews the fabric composed entirely of
covered wire warp and weft. In Fig. 2 the warp is of covered wire and the weft
is of cotton, woollen or silk thread. In Fig. 2B the warp is of cotton, woollen, or
silk threads, and the weft is of covered wire. According to another modification, a
woven fabric is produced with both warp and weft of cotton, woollen, or silk
threads, in which every second, or third, or fourth, or nth thread of the warp, or of
the weft, or of both, is replaced by covered wire. In the arrangement at Fig. 3
every fifth warp
and weft threads consist of covered wires.
The determination of the number and position of the covered wires in the
fabric will depend upon the particular purpose for which the fabric is to be
employed.
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:-
A manufacture of woven fabric which, for stiffening purposes, consists either
wholly or partly of wire covered with cotton, woollen, or silk fibre, or of a woven
fabric of cotton woollen or silk fibre in which a portion of the warp or weft
threads, or of both, are replaced by covered wires substantially as described.
