We, JOHANNES SAUERTEIG, and LORENZ HEINRICH FRIEDRICH LUTZ, both of the
Town of Sonneberg, in the German Empire, Toy Manufacturers, 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 the construction of a singing doll, in which the singing
is imitated by combining a musical box with the body of a doll, in such manner
that the musical box can be operated by the movement of the arm of the doll, by a
crank on the spindle of the roller or by means of a suitable spring.
Only one system of operating the musical box is shown in the accompanying
drawing, id est, by moving the one arm of the doll.
Fig. 1 is a side view of the improved singing doll.
Fig. 2 represents a modification of the crank.
The construction of musical boxes is too well known to need special description.
Such musical box is arranged in the body of the doll so that the spindle to the
roller of the musical box protrudes from the said body of the doll and the dress
of the same to receive a crank a, the handle of which is connected to the hand of
the doll in such manner that when the hand of the said doll is operated the spindle
of the peg roller and also the roller will be rotated. For this purpose the arm is
suitably jointed and connected to the body of the doll to admit of the necessary
movements by the crank a.
As customary in musical boxes with crank motion a rotation of the crank or in
this case of the hand part of the arm of the doll will produce a rotation of the
roller and as the pegs or pins of the same come in contact with the tongues. of
the musical box they will produce musical tones.
By employing the device represented in Fig. 2 the reciprocating motion of the
arin of the doll will cause the roller of the musical box to make a rotary movement
in consequence of the insertion of a connecting rod C, between the crank and the
arm of the doll.

page_text: The parts are so arranged that the hand of the doll can if desired be detached
from the crank which latter can then be operated by the child direct.
Or if desired the musical box can be provided with a spring so that the same
can be wound up and the musical box set in operation by releasing a catch arranged
to hold the driving spring.
It will be evident from the foregoing that we do not claim the construction of
a doll as such or a musical box for itself as both these parts can be constructed
in any well known manner without departing from the nature of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in, what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The combination of a doll with a musical box so as to produce what we
denominate a singing doll, substantially as set forth in the foregoing specification.

I EDWARD KEMP TAYLOR of 21 Royal Avenue Chelsea in the County of Middlesex
trading as The Tricycle Letting Company Fulham in the said county do heroby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
In single driving Tricycles having a band brake, only the driving wheel is affected
by the brake. By reducing the axle from one end to the centre, or to any desired
point, and affixing to the non-driving wheel a tube or sleeve to slip over the reduced
portion of the axle, and having a brake drum at the other end corresponding in size
and running by the side of a similar drum affixed to the axle at the aforesaid desired

I EDWARD KEMP TAYLOR of 21 Royal Avenue Chelsea in the County of Middlesex
trading as The Tricycle Letting Company at Fulham in the said County 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 :-
Hitherto in single driving tricycles having a band brake the driving wheel only is
affected by the brake. To obviate this I make the axle, which is formed of a bar of
steel, equal in length to the maximum width of the Tricycle and rigidly fix the
driving wheel to one end. I then turn down or reduce in diameter the axle by about
an eighth from one end to the centre or to any desired point. Over the reduced
portion I slip a tube or sleeve to which is attached at one end the non-driving wheel
while at the other end of the sleeve is affixed a brake drum corresponding in size and
running by the side of another drum rigidly fixed at the inner extreme end of the
unreduced portion of the axle. I then place the sleeve in position on the reduced
portion of the axle where it is secured by a nut or other suitable contrivance. I
then make a brake band of sufficient width to embrace and act on both drums
thereby affecting both wheels simultaneously.
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 1
claim is
In single driving tricycles the affixing of a brake drum to one end of a sleeve to
which is attached at the other end the non-driving wheel and when the said sleeve is
in its proper position the aforesaid drum works by the side of a drum fixed in the
ordinary manner and having a brake strap or band of sufficient width to act on both
drums.

I, JOHN JEYES, of Richmond House, Plaistow, in the County of Essex, Chemist, do
hereby declare the nature of my suid invention to be as follows
-
The object of my Invention is to manufacture an excellent household and toilet
soap in an improved manner, and of superior quality
In carrying out my Invention, I add to the usual ingredients, of which the soap 15
manufactured, a mineral oil that has been refined, and rendered comparatively tre
from color and smell
I use about 10 pounds of the mineral oil to one hundred weight of cocoa nut
oil, or other oils, fats, or tallows A larger proportion of mineral oil may however
be used to the extent of one sixth, which makes a valuable description of soap
But if the quantity is increased beyond the proportions above named, the soap losɩs
its full lathering properties
The merit possessed in using mineral oil as aforesaid, is that it imparts a tough
and wax-like property to the soap, its appearance is also improved and its listing
properties increased
Cheapening properties may be imparted by adding resin, sulphate of soda, carbonate
of soda, silicate of soda, and analogous ingredients

page_text: 1, JOHN JEYES of Richmond House, Plaistow, in the County of Essex, Chemist, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
The object of my invention is to manufacture an excellent description of Household
and Toilet Soup, in an improved manner and of superior quality
In carrying out my invention I add to the usual ingredients of which the soap is
manufactured, a mineral oil that has been refined ard rendered comparatively free
fiom color and smell
And whereas in my provisional Specification, I have mentioned that I used the 1
mineral oil in the proportion of from 10 to 17 per cent of mineral oil to one hundred
weight of cocoa nut oil, or other oils, fats, or tallows
And whereas I have since found that the relative quantity of mineral oil may
be advantageously increased, to the extent of from 25 to 50 per cent of mineral
oil to one hundred weight of Cocoa nut oil, or other oils, fats, or tallows, or a 1
mixture of the same
The advantages derived from the use of mineral oil as aforesaid are, that it imparts
a tough and was like property to the soup, improves its appear ince, and increases its
lasting properties
The lathering properties of the soap are proportionately decreased by the addition i
of increased quantities of mineral oil, but this in many case is not an objection
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
In the manufacture of soap, the combination of purified mineral oil, with cocoa nut
oil, or other oils, fats or tallows, substantially as hereinbefore described

page_text: I, WILLIAM CLARK, of the firm of A. M. and Wm. Clark, of 53, Chancery Lane,
in the County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention (a communication to me from abroad by Jeremiah
Anderson Scriven, of No. 11 Bethune Street, in the City, County, and State of New
York, United States of America, Manufacturer,) 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 under-garments; and the
invention consists in making the body portion of such a garment of knitted or
woven fabric, which however, is less flexible laterally than are the insertions. By
this means, the garment will be elastic laterally because of these insertions, but will,
at the same time to a proper extent, be elastic in the direction of its length. The
fabric constructed of these two different kinds of knitted fabric is superior to one
made of homogeneous knitted fabric, in that the lateral elasticity is taken up by the
insertions mainly, which at all times, even after frequent washing, will retain the
close fit while knitted articles made of homogeneous substances are apt to become
baggy and loose after a few washings. Other advantages which need not be
mentioned, result from the use of this invention.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification,
in which figure 1, is a front view of an undershirt embodying the invention, and
figure 2 is a similar view of a pair of drawers. In the drawing, the letter A
represents the body of the garment and B B are the insertions, between the sections
of the body A.
The body A is made of knitted or woven fabric and the insertions B B are made of
knitted fabric but the fabric A is closer than the fabric B, so as to be practically
inelastic in a lateral or horizontal direction, while the insertions B should be freely
elastic cross wise.
I do not mean to say that the parts A, of the fabric, should be inelastic laterally,
but only that they should be inelastic as compared with the parts B. If a garment
were made entirely of fabric A it would be elastic but having these insertions B of

page_text: greater elasticity, they take up the strain and thereby preserve the main knitted
fabric A from such strain; as a result, the garments of this construction will last
much longer than those made of homogeneous knitted substances, while they still
possess the advantage of being longitudinally flexible.
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 ;-
An under-garment consisting of the body A, and the laterally and longitudinally
elastic knitted insertions B between the longitudinal sections of the body A, the said
insertions being more elastic than the body A, as specified.

Improvements in Braces or Suspenders.
I LÉON FOURCHOTTE of 5 Rue Mazagran, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of this invention is to obviate the inconveniences inherent in braces of
the ordinary construction, the principal of which is the great fatigue occasioned to the
wearer.
In carrying out my invention, I form the brace with a collar piece which fits
round the back of the neck and over the shoulders. To the ends of this collar piece
I attach straps carrying .buckles to which the brace ends are connected in any
convenient manner, so that they may support the trousers above the pockets.
In some cases 1 may attach to the centre of the collar piece at the back a single
strap with brace ends for the back of the trousers.

Improvements in Braces or Suspenders.
I LEON FOURCHOTTE of 5 Rue Mazagran, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer, 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 new construction of braces or suspenders intended to
replace, with advantage, all kinds of braces hitherto made, which, for the most
part, consist of four parts, connected together at the back by different appropriate
means.
These braces have the great inconvenience of causing considerable fatigue to the
persons wearing them, and it is the object of this invention to obviate this
inconvenience.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated, by way of example, a pair of
braces or suspenders constructed according to my invention.
a is a collar piece, of leather or other suitable material, to the ends 6¹ of which I
attach, by sewing or otherwise, the parts b. These parts take into buckles, to which
the brace ends c are suitably connected.
In some cases I may find it desirable to attach, at the back of the collar piece a,
the part d, to which may be secured brace ends e to support the back of the
trousers.
As will be seen, braces or suspenders thus produced will be cheaper, more easy to
put on, and will support the trousers in a manner more efficacious than braces or
suspenders of the ordinary construction.
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 new construction of braces or suspenders as herein shewn and described.

JAMES IRVING Mill Manager 5 York Street, Barnsley Yorkshire, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The appliance consists in placing a mirror in such a position with regard to the
cloth being woven that the weaver is able at any time (even whilst the loom is in
motion) to see the underside of the same by looking in the mirror. This mirror also
reflects the light from above on the underside of the cloth rendering any imperfection
more apparent.
As at present arranged the weaver is not able to see the underside of the cloth, so
that much of it is made defective in consequence.

page_text: JAMES IRVING Mill Manager 5 York Street Barnsley Yorkshire 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 appliance consists in placing a mirror in such a position with regard to the
cloth being woven that the weaver is able at any time to inspect the underside of the
same by looking in the mirror. This mirror also reflects the light from above on to
the underside of the cloth, rendering any imperfections more apparent.
Under existing arrangements the weaver is unable to see the underside of the fabric
whilst weaving, so that much defective cloth is made in consequence.
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 use of a mirror or of mirrors for the purpose of examining the underside of
cloth or other fabric whilst being woven.
other Analogous Purposes.

I SOLOMON BOYD of 102 Union Street West Oldham, Lancashire, Decorator
do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 the construction and arrangement of a folding portable
table constructed of wood or other suitable material and capable of folding longi-
tudinally down the middle and suitable as a paste board for paper-hangers use for
school tables stalls and for other analogous purposes.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved folding
table shewn open and Fig. 2 is a similar perspective view of the same table shewn
closed up. Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view shewing the supporting parts folded up
and the table top ready to be folded.
a is the table top formed in two halves longitudinally and having strengthening
battens 6 at either end and in the middle and all hinged together as illustrated.
cc are the folding legs formed in two halves and which are hinged to the sides of the
battens.
These legs have also folding cross pieces dd which are also hinged together and
when distended are locked and made rigid by a sliding bolt e.
In order to prevent the legs opening too far and so as to secure the same in the
open position I employ a pair of brackets ff hinged to the underside of the table and
provided with metallic clips 9 9 to clip and bind the legs to such brackets when
opened out.
hh are a pair of iron rods applied to each leg c and attached at their respective
extremities to the table top and to the sides of such legs c-these rods are also formed

page_text: with a hinged or knuckle joint in the centre and over which a ferrule or tube i is
capable of being drawn when such rods are distended as seen in Fig. 1.
In this manner the rods h h constitute a pair of brace-rods for locking the parts in
position and rendering the table rigid and steady in use.
It will be apparent that my improved table so constructed as aforesaid is capable
of being folded up with the two halves forming the table top only separated by the
thickness of the battens and that thus I construct an exceedingly portable and handy
table perfectly self supporting and with no loose parts.
Having thus 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 and arrangement of parts constituting a portable folding
table substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on
the accompanying drawing.

An Improved Automatic Window Sash Fastener.
I, ROBERT BATEY of 17 Jessamine Terrace, King Cross, Halifax, Yorkshire, in
the County of York, Insurance Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
A suitable Box preferably of rectangular shape contains two bolts; only one of
which is used for securing the sashes and which I call the primary one, the other
which I call the secondary is used for throwing the primary one into action as
follows, the primary bolt being in communication with a spring is drawn back,
and being provided with a cross piece at the head opposite the fastener, is turned
upon a stud. In what I term the secondary bolt, this secondary bolt is fixed in such
a manner that on opening the sash it lifts a hinged plate, which after the passage of
the bolt, drops. On closing the window the secondary bolt, striking the edge of it,
is forced into the box, and consequently projects correspondingly at the other end of
the box, this action releases the aforesaid crosspiece which in turn releases the
primary bolt, this is forced by the action of the spring into a suitably prepared slot
on the outside sash and effectually locks the two sashes.
