MENTS IN "STEAM WASHERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I CHARLES HENRY GUEST of 58 Belgrave Road Birmingham in the county of
Warwick Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN "STEAM WASHERS" to be as follows:-
The washing machines usually known as " Steam Washers" consist of an outer
case or cystern in which revolves a cylinder in which the clothes are placed. This
cylinder has usually on each inner side radial arms for the purpose of giving
movement to the clothes; in my invention I substitute in the place of one or more
of these radial arms a series of parrallel arms running across or partly across the
sides of the cylinder. The arms on one side to be at a different angle to those on
the other side. The arms so placed cause the clothes to be thrown from side to
side as the cylinder is revolved thus causing the clothes to be more effectually
cleansed.

cleansed. In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed
to describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig 1
represents a front elevation and fig 2 an end elevation of a Steam Washer con-
structed according to my invention.
A is the case or systern inside of which is mounted the cylinder B. This
cylinder is revolved by means of a handle D on the inner sides of the cylinder are
fixed parallel arms which are marked C These arms are fixed so that as the
cylinder revolves the clothes are alternately thrown from one side of the cylinder
to the other thus causing them to be continually changeing position & so being
exposed to the action of the steam or water.
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 a steam washer the arrangement of parallel arms to the sides of the inner
case or cylinder as hereinbefore described and set forth in the accompanying
drawing.

NEW OR IMPROVED SUSPENDERS FOR TROUSERS
Year: 1884

page_text: We JOHN SMETHURST and ARTHUR SMETHURST, both of 14 St Anns Square,
Manchester, Lancashire, Tailors, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention
for NEW OR IMPROVED SUSPENDERS FOR TROUSERS to be as follows:-
The object of our Invention is to simplify and improve the construction of
suspenders for trousers and to make them more comfortable to the wearer.
In making suspenders or braces according to our Invention we employ a single
tag of leather or other suitable material to which we connect the two shoulder
straps or webs of the braces: the braces are connected to a button or stud at the
back of the trousers by this single central tag and by this means less resistance is
offered to the movements of the body than is the case with braces of the ordinary
construction where two tags are employed.
We are thus enabled to attain by these simple and economically made braces
those flexible or yielding qualities which have only previously been attained in
braces of a complicated and expensive construction.
Dated this 13th day of September 1881.

I filed with the Provisional Specification relating to my said Invention a drawing
shewing a rate made in accordance with such invention.
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
Iclaim is
1. The Manufacture of Garden and Gravel rakes by casting the same in Malleable
Iron or Steel instead of by the several processes of stamping drilling or punching,
rivetting, forging and welding hitherto used in making rakes including the Eye.
2. The making of such rakes, as above mentioned in one solid piece and in one
operation instead of making the same in parts, and afterwards connecting the
same.
3. The dispensing with nails or screws, in fastening the stail to the rake, hitherto
nails or screws have always been used for fastening the stail to the rake, and the
consequence is, that when the nails or screws rust, the stail becomes loose and
renders the rake useless.
4. The Eye being raised half an inch 'above the level of tooth plate protecting
the Eye from the soil.
Dated this eighth day of November 1884.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOSS STARCH
Year: 1884

page_text: CLECIFICATION,
I WILLIAM THOMAS HENRY CARMAN, Agent, of 1 Broad Arrow Court, 89 Milton
Street in the City of London do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOSS STARCH and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Heretoforo it has been the habit in laundries to mix ordinary starch with borax,
or other caustic substances to give a gloss to the linen. This however being very
detrimental to the material. Whereas, by using my gloss starch not only a better
gloss is easily obtained but also the wax (etc.) acts beneficially upon the linen.
To carry out my invention, I tako from 2 to 8 lbs. of White Wax, Stearine or
Spermaceti, according to the gloss required, about 20 drops of Otto of Roses, Fennel
Oil, or Oil of Aniseed (or any other suitable oil that will perfuine the starch.) and
melt them together till it boils. To this hot liquid I add about half a pound of
Caustic Soda lye of 10 degrees, stirring the whole very carefully whilst it is boiling,
which quickly turns the liquid into a soft mass. This I keep on the fire some
time longer, stirring it carefully till it liquefies again. To this I add about
4 gallons of water, according to the amount of Wax, Stearine or Spermaceti I wish
to mix with the ordinary starch. The above named quantities are about sufficient
to make 2 cwt, of Gloss Starch.
Should I not wish to perfume the Starch I omit the volatile oils.
The fluid is then mixed with the Starch in a half dry state, after which it is
poured into drying pans, allowing the water to run off; the wax, stearine or
spermaceti and the volatile oils remaining together with the starch in the pans, and
is now dried and treated in the usual way.
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 admixture of Wax, Stearine or Spermaceti, with volatilo oils, or without
the oils, and caustic soda lye, to the ordinary starch as described.

the razor blade and casing of the tang being cast thereon.
The back of the blade and tang is or can be perforated to allow the metal to flow
through and form a pin to secure the metal firmly to the blade and tang.
Frame back razors have been hitherto made by rivetting the back of the frame
and covering of the tang to the blade but in this construction water is liable to get
under the back and turn the blade rusty but this is impossible when the back or
frame of the blade is cast on to it.
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
Improvements in the construction and manufacture of razors by flying out or
cutting out the blade and tang and casting on the back of the blade and on the
tang white metal or other equivalent non corrosive metal substantially as herein
before described, to form the frame back and the casing of the tang.

and stirred until a pasty mass is produced. This pasty mass while still bot is
passed through heated rollers to form the material into strips or sheets of the
thickness required; the strips or sheets are then passed through another set of
rollers at a lower temperature than the first set. Ground slag is then sprinkled or
spread over the surfaces of the strips or sheets which are then finished by being
passed through wooden rollers.
The above proportions are those which I have found to give good results but it
will be obvious that the proportions may be varied according to the quality of the
felt to be produced.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the naturo of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The manufacture and use of the improved felt for roofing and other purposes
formed by mixing and combining the ingredients herein mentioned substantially as
described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN DOMESTIC CINDER RAKES
Year: 1884

page_text: I THOMAS MCGRAH of 33, Church St Sheffield in the County of York Sewing
Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN DOMESTIC CINDER RAKES, to be as follows:-
My Invention has reference to what are commonly called coal rakes which have
hitherto been made in the form of a scraper and used chiefly for the purpose of
drawing or scraping out the ashes and cinders from underneath a fireplace My
improvement is intended for the same purpose but I construct the same in such a
manner as to enable a person at the same time to divide or cinders from the ashes
so as to dispense with the neccessity of riddling or sifting the same afterwards in
order to accomplish this I perforate the end of the scraper or make it in the form
of a comb or rake so that the ashes may pass through and the cokes or cinders
raked or separated therefrom or I construct the same in such a manner as to form
a rake and scraper combined the same may be pierced out of sheet steel or Iron or -
other metal or otherwise cast or made in any other convenient manner.

page_text: I THOMAS MCGRAH of 33 Church Street Sheffield in the County of York,
Sewing Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN DOMESTIC CINDER RAKES 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 reference to what are commonly called Coal rakes which have
hitherto been made in the form of a scraper and used chiefly for the purpose of
drawing or scraping out the ashes and cinders from underneath a fireplace.―My
improvement is intended to be used for the same purposes but so constructed as to
enable a person at the same time to divide or separate the cinders from the ashes
so as to dispense with the necessity of riddling or sifting the same afterwards. In
order to accomplish this I perforate the end of the scraper or make it in the form
of a comb or rake, so that whilst drawing forward the cakes or cinders the ashes
pass through the rake or perforated end and thus divide or separate the same as
effectively as if they were riddled ;-or I construct them with one end in the form
of a rake and at the opposite end of the rod or handle I make a small scraper for
the purpose chiefly of cleaning or drawing out the ashes and cinders from under-
neath the oven in domestic fire places.-I prefer making the said rakes by piercing
the same out of sheet steel or iron so as to be as light and elastic as possible--they
may however be made by casting or any other convenient method..
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 making of domestic Cinder rakes in the manner and for the purpose as
AN ELECTRICAL PRESSURE ALARUM to be as follows:-

page_text: I, JAMES LORRAINE of West Drayton near Uxbridge in the county of Mid-
dlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "AN
ELECTRICAL PRESSURE ALARUM to be as follows:-
"
My invention relates to an electrical alarum apparatus applicable to pressure
gauges for the purpose of giving an audible signal whenever the pressure attains
a certain degree. For this purpose, I apply to the dial of the pressure gauge
a spring contact connected by wires to an electrical battery and a bell or gong.
Usually the contacts remain apart leaving the electrical circuit open, but when
the pressure index reaches them, it presses them into contact, and the bell or gong
is thus caused to sound, informing the attendant that the pressure has reached the
desired limit.

1, JAMES LORRAINE, of West Drayton near Uxbridge in the County of Mid-
dlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
ELECTRICAL PRESSURE ALARUM," 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 an electrical alarum apparatus applicable to pressure
gauges for the purpose of giving an audible signal whenever the pressure attains
a certain degree. For this purpose, I apply to the dial of the pressure gaugo
a spring contact connected by wires to an electrical battery and a bell or gong.
Usually the contacts remain apart leaving the electrical circuit open, but when
the pressure index reaches them, it presses them into contact, and the bell or
gong is thus caused to sound, inforining the attendant that the pressure bas
reached the desired limit.
The accompanying drawing shews the dial of a pressure gauge, arranged
according to my invention.
At two opposite places on the dial one of them near the divisions at which the
alarum is desired to be given, I fix on insulating material pieces a a' of platinum
or platinised wire having their upper sides exposed and sloped off at their ends;
these wires are connected by conductors c c to the circuit of an electric bell and
battery. To the ends of the index I attach platinum or platinised springs bb'
projecting sufficiently far to extend over the wires a a. When the index roaches
the desired division, the springs b b¹ make contact with the wires a a', thus closing
the circuit and causing the alarmin to sound. When the arbor of the index is in
good metallic connection with the casing of the gauge, one of the wires such as a¹
and the corresponding spring may be dispensed with, the conductor c¹ being in
that case attached to the metallic casing of the gauge.
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
Applying to the dial of a pressure gauge and its index electrical contacts
whereby, when the index renches a certain division, an electrical circuit is closed
causing a bell or gong to sound as a pressure alarum, substantially as herein
described.
