of 19, Hamilton Terrace, Leeds, York, England, Boot and
Shoe Manufacturer. Improvements in or relating to detach-
able top pieces for the heels of boots and shoes.

Claims.—(1.) In appliances for attaching detachable top
pieces to the main portion of boot and shoe heels, substan-
tially as described and illustrated, the employment of a plate
shaped as described and having formed in and upon it a
number of locking devices consisting essentially of hooks in
the form of triangular or equivalent inclined projections
arranged in pairs on opposite portions of the plate, said lock-
ing hooks or projections being arranged to mesh and interlock
with correspondingly constructed locking devices of a second
plate, whereby as the one plate slides over the other into
position the projections become meshed and drawn together,
but always so cut, shaped, and formed that when the two
plates are locked the projections of either of them shall lie
within the thickness of the other, substantially as described
and illustrated. (2.) In appliances for attaching detachable
top pieces to the heels of boots and shoes, the combination of
two plates of the same size and contour adapted to slide one
upon the other, each of the plates being provided with slots
and triangular inclined projections arranged in pairs at
opposite portions of each plate, said slots and projections
being capable of interlocking within the thickness of the two
plates with each other for holding the plates together, one of
the said plates being also provided at or near its rear with a
horizontally faced projection and with one or more pins at or
near its breast, said projection and pins being adapted to
engage with holes formed for their reception in the second
plate for preventing the displacement of the plates relatively
to one another when in use, all constructed and arranged
substantially as described, and as illustrated in the draw-
ings. (3.) The means described for holding an indiarubber
top piece to the detachable plate f, said means consisting of a
skeleton flange or projections in the form of an inturned
peripheral flange, arranged and constructed substantially as
described and illustrated. (4.) The combination and arrange-
ment of the various parts constituting the means for attach-
ing the detachable top pieces to the main portions of boot

No. 20311.—14th November, 1905.—AKTIEBOLAGET SEPA-
RATOR, of 8, Flemminggatan, Stockholm, Sweden (assignees
of Birger Ljungstrom, of 8, Flemminggatan, Stockholm
aforesaid, Engineer). Improvements in and relating to cen-
trifugal separators for liquids.

Extract from Specification.—Our invention refers to
separators having bowls or drums of the type just explained,
the object being to feed the milk in such a way that it is uni-
formly distributed to the spaces of the liner or division con-
trivance, and that only short and large inlet passages are
used which are easy to clean. Therefore, according to our
invention, the whole milk is fed at the top of the liner or
division contrivance instead of the bottom. For this pur-
pose we dispose the feed-pipe for the whole milk centrally,
and provide contiguous to it, between the liner or division
contrivance and the adjacent face of the bowl or drum, an
enlargement wherein we furnish passages communicating
with the feed-pipe and the liner or division contrivance, for
conveying to the latter the milk supplied to the feed-pipe.
Further, in the enlargement, or in a part thereof, we form
passages for leading the separated cream from the cream
zone towards its point of discharge, such passages being
distinct from those before mentioned for the whole milk,

The enlargement may be wholly on and integral with
either the upper plate of the liner or division contrivance or
the feed-pipe, or it may be partially on and integral with
the feed-pipe and partially on and integral with the upper
plate, or it may be partially on and integral with the feed-
pie and partially a ring detached from both the feed-pipe
and the upper plate, or it may be on and integral with the
feed-pipe and the upper plate, both of which are formed in
one piece. Again, the enlargement may be continuous—i.e.,
in the form of a ring; or it may be wholly or in part inter-
rupted, a plurality of sections being obtained in consequence.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted
in place of the claims.]

No. 20312.—14th November, 1905.—SERGE BERDITS-
CHEWSKY APOSTOLOFF, of 93 and 94, Upper Thames Street,
London, England, Engineer. An improvement in separating
and utilising the floury constituent of middlings and the
like.

Claim.—The described improvement in the manufacture
of bread which consists in soaking the middlings in water,
adding yeast to the liquor and fermenting so as to dissolve or
detach the floury constituent from the bran or insoluble por-
tion of the middlings, straining the liquor by means of a
bolter and thereafter passing the liquor into the kneader and
using it in admixture with flour to make dough, substantially
as described.

No. 20326.—16th November, 1905.—THOMAS HENRY
HAWKINS, usually and commonly known as Thomas Haw-
kins, of Granville Road, Forest Gate, London, England, but
presently of Birchgrove, Balmain, near Sydney, New South
Wales, Engineer. A combined lamp and apparatus for
generating and storing acetylene gas.

Claims.—(1.) Apparatus for generating and burning acety-
lene gas, in which the gas is allowed to pass directly from the
generator to the burner, and in which the feed water is kept
separate from the water in the gas-storage reservoir, substan-
tially as described. (2.) Apparatus for generating and burn-
ing acetylene gas, comprising a carbide-holder, disposed
within or surrounded by a feed-water chamber, and having a
central tubular portion in communication with a storage
reservoir separated from the said feed-water chamber by an
intervening chamber, into which air is admitted or discharged
by means of a regulated outlet pipe, the said intervening
chamber communicating with the lower part of the storage
reservoir, for the purposes specified. (3.) The combination
of an annular feed-water chamber having an adjustable air-
pipe passing through the plug pertaining to the filling orifice,
an intervening chamber having a pipe serving as an inlet,
outlet, or safety pipe and provided with a regulating-valve, a
storage-reservoir communicating with the aforesaid interven-
ing chamber and with the carbide-holder, and a regulated
pipe communicating between the feed-water chamber and the
carbide-holder, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

adapted to operate substantially as described with reference
to either of the examples illustrated in the drawings for the
