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 :-
Metal dowel plates which are principally used for temporarily uniting or holding
together patterns or core boxes used in moulding metal are usually made with
their base portion rectangular in shape, which necessitates their insertion into the
pattern or core box with the aid of a chisel.
The metal dowel plates according to my invention are made of cast or stamped
brass, cast or malleable iron and have the outline of their base portion composed
of a circle, or series of circles intersecting one another as shewn at A and at the
centre of each of the intersecting circles a small projection is formed on the
underside as at B which indicates the center of the said circle.
In inserting the dowel plates according to my invention into the pattern or
core box it is only necessary to bore holes whose centres have been marked off
by laying the dowel plate with the small projection on the underside upon the
pattern or core box.
The dowel plates may be tinned or coated with a substance to resist rust.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what

A Safety Hook for Wardrobe or similar Purposes.
I, OTTO SCHULZE, of No. 44 Rathenowerstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire,
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 object of this invention is a device to prevent the unauthorized removal of
wearing apparel or other articles from restaurants etc.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Figures 1 and 3 show two different or modified forms of' wardrobe hooks, con-
structed according to this invention, when closed.
Figures 2 and 4 show the same hooks when opened.
To carry out the object of my invention, I arrange a guard piece o opposite or
corresponding to the hook 1, Figure 1. When the safety hook is closed or locked
the guard o is in close contact with the hook h; the ends coming in contact with
each other being preferably provided with tips of india rubber. The movement of
the guardo and consequent opening of the safety hook is prevented by the bolt r
when in its lowest position, as in Figure 1. On the other hand if the bolt r, is
lifted by the key S, a recess a is cleared for the back part of the guard o and the
safety hook can be opened, see Figure 2.
The guardo is held in the open position by means of a thin projection on its
back part which is held by a spring F. In order to guide the projection beside
the bolt, a fork G is arranged, preferably of sheet metal, in the slot of which f
moves. When the guard o is depressed and the key removed, the bolt r falls by
its own gravity and locks the safety hook.
A modified construction, differing only in details from the hook described before
is shown in Figures 3 and 4. In this case the guard consists of two parts p and g;
the spring F which holds it when open, being formed as a spiral spring. A further
difference is that the bolt r when lifted protrudes from the casing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A safety hook for wardrobe or similar purposes consisting of a guard made in
one or several parts and a bolt locking the guard by its own weight, which can
only be lifted or unlocked by a special key.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Ladies' Hats or Bonnets.
I, ROBERT BIEWEND, of Clausthal, in the German Empire, Professor at the
College of Mines, 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 manufacture of ladies' hats or hat-shapes, bonnets
or bonnet-shapes, either wholly or partly from aluminium.
In carrying out my invention, I make the skeleton or framework of the hat or
bonnet from drawn or spun aluminium tape or braid; this tape or braid being
wound with very fine aluminium wire for the purpose of fastening the same and
causing it to retain the desired shape.
Hats made in this way last very much longer than those manufactured either
from straw or felt. The weight of the aluminium hats is moreover much less than
that of hats produced from other material.
The aluminium may be plaited in a way similar to that in which straw is
plaited, and may be ornamented with filigree work of fine aluminium wire or
braid. Ornaments of aluminium resembling flowers or leaves, or ribands, or
coloured artificial flowers or pearls, etc., may likewise be employed. The hats may
be lined with any suitable stuff.
In place of the braid or wire, sheet aluminium, either stamped or chased, may
be used for the crown. Or, the hats may be formed of ornamental sheet aluminium
in combination with the wire and filigree work.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
In the manufacture of ladies' hats or hat-shapes, bonnets or bonnet-shapes,
forming the skeleton or framework from aluminium wire or tape, or from stamped

Improvements in Wire Fencing.
I, WILLIAM ALEXANDER RAE of King's Wood, Murthly, in the County of
Perth, Gentleman, 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 that class of wire fencing in which between the
straining posts a series of "droppers are strung on or otherwise attached to
the wires to maintain the various lengths at proper distances apart and it has
for its object to provide simple and efficient means for holding the droppers in
place.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a part front elevation and Figure 2 a
part side elevation of a dropper with the improvements constituting my invention
applied to it, Figure 3 being a view of a section of a wire fence shewing the
dropper secured in position.
The dropper a which is composed of a flat metal bar has a series of holes
punched through it at distances apart corresponding to the desired distances
between the various lengths of wire in the depth of the fence and between two of
these holes another hole c is also made through the dropper. Through this hole a
bar or rod d is passed the said bar being bent into angular form and having its
termination or ends d' also bent at right angles to the body of its length or they
may be made to constitute an upwardly turned hook or other form of catch. In
any case when the bar d is in the position shewn on the drawings, that is when it is
hanging evenly the relation of its catching ends d' to the hole e in the dropper and
through which one length 61 of the fencing wire passes is such that a straight line
drawn from one end d¹ to the other would not pass through the hole e but be in a
plane above it. Thus by passing the wire b' over the catching ends d¹ a bight or
bend is made on the wire between the points fand g, and the dropper is firmly held
in its place after the wire has been strained. The catch bar d may be inverted and
instead of using only one holding bar for each dropper two or more such bars may
be employed and instead of the dropper being flat as shewn it may be of V or other
form in cross section.
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 :-
In a wire fence the improved means herein before described with reference to the
accompanying drawings for holding droppers in position.

Merchant 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 has for its object the production of a substance termed "Elfenite "
which may be used for the manufacture of fancy goods of all kinds. It is
distinguished from fayence and majolica goods in this respect that it needs no

Improvements in the Manufacture of Hard Soap.
I, JACOB BROWN, of Springfield Soap Works, Morley, in the County of York,
Soap 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 certain improvements in soap, and has for its object, the
production of a hard soap for the washing of wool and the scouring and milling of
piece goods, with the result that, wool so washed, and piece goods so scoured and
milled, have a more lustrous appearance and softer to handle, than when washed
and scoured with soaps as hitherto in use; also, to so form the soap that, neither
delicate shades of colour or delicate fibres are in the least injuriously affected by
the use of the soap.
I accomplish my object in the first instance, by constructing a caustic lye,
composed of caustic soda of 52 per centum strength, to which is added water, and
when properly dissolved for my purpose, at a temperature of 16 degrees Reaumer by
Beaumes hydrometer for heavy liquids shows 18 degrees strength.
In the second place, the caustic lye as above, is placed in a boiling pan, and
saponified olein added in the following proportions. To one hundred weight two
quarters and seven pounds caustic lye as specified, one hundred weight of saponified
olein is added gradually, until both are united and the surplus under lye (if any).
removed, so that olein soap alone remains.
In the third place. To the olein soap as above specified, whilst in the pan I add
caustic lye of the specified degrees and at the specific temperature as above given,
the proportion of the lye added is one hundred weight one quarter and twenty
pounds, to one hundred weight of palm kern oil, which is gradually added when
the olein soap and lye boil. The proportion of the palm kern oil added, is two
thirds of the weight of the olein soap in the pan.
The soap made in the manner described, is particularly adapted for the washing
of wool and the scouring and milling of piece goods, and is the result of six years
experimenting, the quality of which may be ascertained at any time by the
following test whether the soap is made of the above specific quantities strength
and proportions.
To ninety pounds of soap so made, thirteen hundred weights one quarter and
twenty pounds of water is added. The result will be a transparent amber colored
liquid.
To any other soap of the same weight and the same quantity of water added,
the result would not be a liquid, but a jelley.
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
The method or process of manufacturing hard soap by compounding the ingredients
at the specific degrees of temperature and strength and in the specific quantities
and subjecting them to the process as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Wire Ropes.
I WILLIAM TALBOT CHEESMAN Manager to the Hartlepool Ropery Company
Limited of Hartlepool in the County of Durham do hereby declare the nature of
my 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 treat wire ropes in their manufacture so that
whilst they are efficiently lubricated they are protected against corrosion or rust or
injurious agencies.
According to my invention I apply to the component parts or core and strands
which are to form the rope a lubricating and protective material or composition
which may be of any suitable description but should be free from acids or other
deleterious matter and be of the character of a lubricant. For instance the material
CE
"
or composition known as "mica grease" and that known as glissantoline are well
suited for the purposes of my invention.
The material or composition is preferably applied to the component parts or core
and strands in the course of the manufacture of the rope which may be done by
causing the wires or strands to pass through the material or composition which may
be contained in a tank or vessel into and from which the wires are led over and
under suitable rollers or guides and the core also to pass through a container of the
material or composition before it meets the wires or strands. After the closing of
the rope, that is the laying of the strands around the core, the rope as a whole may
be passed through a tank or container of the material or composition. In order to
regulate or properly distribute the amount of the material or composition taken up. by
the core and wires or strands they may pass through scrapers or cleaners by which
excess of the material or composition is removed. The material or composition
thus applied fills up the interstices of the rope and makes it not only self lubricating
but also impervious to the injurious action of moisture, steam, or other deleterious or
corrosive agent. It further gives increased flexibility to the rope and reduces
friction of the rope as a whole and of its component parts or wires amongst
themselves.
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. In the manufacture of wire ropes coating the component parts or wires or
strands and core before the rope is closed with a protective and lubricating material
or composition substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture a protected and lubricated wire rope having
its component parts or wires or strands and core covered or protected by a protective
and lubricating material or composition substantially as and for the purpose
hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Dress Holders.
I, MARY NICE of 53 Abbeygate Street, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, Married
Woman, 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 is designed to supply an automatic support for the skirt and train
of a lady's dress, and relieve her of the necessity of holding them in her hands.
My improved dressholder is worn outside the dress and consists of a band or
cord which encircles the waist and is fastened by a suitable clip, buckle or other
attachment. From the waistband hang one or more pieces of ribbon or cord to the
end of which are attached clips which catch and hold up the skirt or train of the
dress.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which
Fig. 1 shows a dressholder constructed of cord with a single clip designed to hold
the train of the dress only.
Fig. 2 shows a dressholder with any preferred number of suspenders each
furnished with a clip.

The back clip d, is by preference larger than the others c, c, c, which lie in front
or at side of the figure of the wearer. is the waistband or waist-cord. b, is the
suspender of cord, tape or ribbon, which may be elastic if preferred. The clips
employed are of the ordinary paper or clothes clip pattern, and they can be made
of any suitable metal, or of any combination of metal with india-rubber or other
substances that would enable the dress to be held without injuring it. I prefer to
make them of wire or of perforated metal so as to lighten their weight as far as
possible.
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. In a dressholder for use outside the dress, the combination of a waistband or

Improvements in Dancing-dolls Driven by a Top.

Improvements in Dancing-dolls Driven by a Top.
I, ERNST PAUL LEHMANN, of Brandenburg on the Havel, Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, 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 :-
My invention relates to a dancing doll driven by a top, and is characterized by
the axle of the top passing loosely through the body of the doll, whereby the latter
is caused to rotate much more slowly than the top itself, and even to stand still for
a time, and thus I obtain a very interesting novel effect.
The better to make my meaning clear, I will describe a dancing doll made
according to my invention, referring to the accompanying drawing, which shows
the parts of the top in full lines, and the doll itself in dotted lines.
a is the axle of the top, to which is secured the fly-wheel d. The doll e fits
loosely over the top and the axle a is guided through the same at b and c at the
upper and lower end respectively. The doll bears upon the ground by means of
the spherical ball f, which is of course perforated in order to allow for the passage
of the pointed lower end of the axle a. The head of the doll is also provided with
a suitable bore for the insertion of any convenient device for rotating the top. It
will be understood that the axle a and dolle do not touch each other at c when .
both are in a perpendicular position.
The operation of the toy is very simple. The top being rotated by any of the
usual means, the doll e partakes of this rotation in consequence of the friction
between the axle a and the portion of the doll guided at b. The friction between
the ball fand the ground however opposes a resistance to the rotation of the doll,
and the latter therefore rotates very slowly and even may stand still for half a
minute sometimes, and it is very interesting to watch the doll moving more slowly
or more rapidly, standing still for a time and then starting again, as if it were
animate. As the doll fits quite loosely over the top, it may be lifted a little from the
ground at any time without stopping its rotation. The doll inclosing the top, all
the quickly rotating parts are covered by the said doll, and the toy may be
intrusted even to quite little children, as any danger of injury is hereby excluded.
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 toy consisting of a top and of a doll fitting loosely over the same and resting
on the ground by means of a spherical part, through which passes the pointed end
of the top's axle, substantially and for the purpose as hereinbefore described, and
in accordance with the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in and relating to Linseed and other Poultices.
We, ANTHONY FRANCIS EMERIC DE ST. DALMAS, WILLIAM HENRY EMERIC
DE ST. DALMAS and ALFRED FOSTER CHOLERTON trading as A. de St. Dalmas
and Company, all of 40 Belgrave Gate in the City and County of Leicester,
Wholesale Chemists, 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 improvements in and relating to linseed and other
poultices intended for use on human body or for veterinary purposes.
Our invention applies to poultices intended to be sold prepared and spread upon
a backing ready for use.
Hitherto poultices intended for use have been prepared in the house immediately
preceding the application of the same the crushed or bruised linseed meal or other
substance of which the poultice is compounded being usually enclosed or sewn in an
envelope of muslin or other fabric, or they have been manufactured and spread
over a large surface of cloth and cut as required into pieces of the required size.
By our invention we spread the compound of linseed or other substance by means
of a suitable machine or by hand upon a backing or foundation of the requisite size,
preferably of fleecy material of cotton, but cloth, leather, felt paper, waterproof or
any other suitable material may be employed, the said machine being so placed as
to leave a margin in the backing or foundation uncovered by the linseed or other
substance of which the poultice is composed.
By the use of our improved poultice the inconvenience attending the compounding
and preparation of the poultice in the house is avoided, our improved poultice
simply requiring steeping in hot water to prepare it for application, it is also handy
and convenient and the margin will effectually protect the linen of the patient from
being soiled and will also be extremely convenient for the haudling of the poultice
prior to its application.
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 :-
A poultice spread upon a backing or foundation so as to leave a margin of said
backing uncovered, substantially as described.

Improvements in Soot Doors and Manholes for Chimneys, Flues,
Ventilating Shafts, and the like.
I, THEODOR JAEGER of Busum, Holstein, in the German Empire, Architect, 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:
In many chimney, flues, ventilating shafts and the like, it is customary to form
doors or openings through which soot ashes and other accumulations may be
removed. These openings are generally closed by means of cast iron doors the use
of which involved several disadvantages which it is the object of this invention to
overcome. Among these disadvantages are the liability of the doors to rust up, to
be easily broken, and their expansion with an increase of température which
expansion tends to lock them in their frames and prevent their being opened without
injury.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my present invention which I will describe
with reference thereto. In each of the figures similar letters are employed to denote
similar parts.
Figure 1 represents in plan a door or manhole constructed according to these
improvements.
Figure 2 shews a vertical section through the same.

two opposite projections d d formed on its periphery and adapted to fit within the
When the plate or cover c is to be inserted, its two projections d d
are brought into the vertical parts e of the recesses, and it is then slightly turned by
means of the handle h so that the projections enter the horizontal parts 9, when the
plate or cover will be tightly closed. The frames or casings a are built into the
chimneys flues or ventilating shafts at suitable places, and the cover may be readily
and instantly removed by giving it a short part of a turn so as to bring the
projections d under the vertical parts e of the recesses.
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 door or manhole for chimneys flues ventilating shafts and the like, constructed
and arranged substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
