Title: Improvements in Brackets for Cycle Lamps, for Motor Cars Lamps and for Lamps of Road Vehicles generally.
Inventor: DIMMACK JOHN FRANCIS
Filed: 1908-04-18
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 8576. Dimmack, J. F. April 18 Lamp and gas brackets.-Brackets for cycle lamps, motor-car lamps, and lamps for road vehicles generally are provided with a bell-crank locking- lever pivoted to the angle of the bracket so that one end of the lever may be operated by a screw to cause the other end of the lever to grip securely the inside of the lamp socket. In Fig. 3, the locking-lever B is shown loosely pivoted by a bolt 7 above the angle of the bracket A, and in the position shown the parts 1, 4 may be engaged within the lamp socket. For locking, the end 5 is operated by a nut 10 and screw 9 until the tip of! the part 4 bears securely against the inside of the socket, as shown in Fig. 1 ; or, if this tip is bent over as shown at 14, Fig. 1<*>, the tightening is continued until the part 14 engages over the upper edge of the socket. Fig. 6 shows an alternative form in which the locking-lever. B is pivoted below the angle of the bracket, and is operated by a screw 16 provided with a washer 18 to prevent it from being lost.

Title: Improved Paper to be used as a Substitute for India-rubber, Leather and the like.
Inventor: POIRIER FERNAND
Filed: 1908-09-30
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 20,616. Poirier, F. Sept. 30. Cloaks and mantles; materials for wearing-apparel. -Relates to an improved paper to be used as a substitute for india-rubber, leather, &c. The barks of kozokodzou and gampie (Japanese plants known commonly as the paper mulberry and used in the manufacture of Japanese papers) are mixed in the proportion of three parts of the former to one of the latter, then beaten with a mallet to obtain fine particles, boiled in pure water for about four hours and washed. When dry, the particles are sifted, laid in a bath of clear lye and boiled for an hour. They are then washed, beaten up and mixed in a vat with a glutinous mass containing glycerine, rice powder, glue or size, oil of camphor, and water, with or with colouring-matter such as ochre and Chinese ink. This paste is spread in thin layers on sieves as in the ordinary manufacture of paper by hand, the layers forming sheets which are dried preferably in the sun. The paper may be used for the manufacture of gloves, socks, &c., and as a padding for garments. It may be rendered impermeable on one or both faces by being brushed with an homogeneous layer of the glutinous mass indicated above, the whole being left to dry and then plunged into boiling water. When only one face is rendered impermeable, the material may be used as a substitute for indiarubber in the construction of tents, hoods, caps, cloaks, gaiters, &c. If rendered impermeable on both faces, it may be used in the manufacture of jackets or receptacles for gases as hydrogen and oxygen, or for the envelopes for balloons ; also for antiseptic pneumatic articles such as hospital or barrack mattresses, or the cushions of carriages, wagons, &c. The impermeable material is difficult to burn, and can be used in the manufacture of portable utensils to be put on the fire, particularly army or touring receptacles such as bowls, cases, goblets, &c. The material may be ornamented by passing it between the cylinders of a graining or figuring machine.
