An Improvement in Gloves.
I, HENRY JOHN DUNN, of No. 14 Friday Street, in the City of London,
Glove Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to a manufacture of lined gloves in such a manner as to
save labour and expense in the lining, and at the same time to provide great
warmth of glove with little thickness of material, and great internal smoothness
giving facility in putting on and taking off the glove.
For this purpose I cement to the glove leather, by gum or other suitable
material, elastic fabric such for instance as glove silk and I make up the glove of
this compound material, thus requiring no separate lining, nor any work in applying
or fixing such lining.

An Improvement in Gloves.
I, HENRY JOHN DUNN, of No. 14 Friday Street, in the City of London,
Glove 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 manufacture of lined gloves in such a manner as to
save labour and expense in the lining, and at the same time to provide great
warmth of glove with little thickness of material, and great internal smoothness
giving facility in putting on and taking off the glove.
For this purpose, I cement to the glove leather by gum, starch, dextrine or other
suitable material elastic fabric, such for instance as glove silk, and I make up the
glove of this compound material, thus requiring no separate lining, nor any work in
applying or fixing such lining.
As a convenient method of lining the leather, I first cut it into rectangular pieces
each suitable for producing a glove. I apply the cement to its surface with a brush
or otherwise, and then I pass over with pressure a roll on which the lining fabric
is wound, the portion of fabric required being unwound and cemented to the leather
by the rolling. I prefer to farther secure the fabric to the leather and to render
the composite material thinner by placing a number of the lined pieces in a press,
separated by cardboard or the like, and subjecting the whole to considerable
pressure. Although I have above described the glove as having the fabric forming
the interior lining the leather being outside, it is obvious that the glove might be
made with the leather inside and the fabric outside.
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 :-
A glove made of composite material consisting of leather and elastic woven

page_text: fabric, such as glove silk, the leather and fabric being cemented together and
compressed before the glove is made, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.

I ROBERT PEFFERS No. 20 Minerva Street Glasgow Scotland Clerk of Works
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Jointing eye on oval & round improved sanitary glazed fire-clay drain pipes
traps and the like. The eye to have a portable cover. This eye is to allow the
man to get his hand inside at every joint and make the joints perfectly tight and
smooth. This eye being on every pipe the covers could be left unjointed till the
job was finished. The whole drain could be cleaned out, the covers cemented on
and the pipes tested. In the event of a choked drain the covers could be removed,
the drain cleared out and the covers cemented on without disturbing any of the
jointing of the drain pipes. The present system of breaking the pipes when choked
is a very had one. This would get over the difficulty.

I, Robert PeFFERS, 20 Minerva Street, Glasgow, Clerk of Works, 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 consists in making drain pipes, traps and the like with hand holes
or eyes fitted with removable covers at or near the jointing socket and has for its
object to permit of a perfectly tight and sinooth joint being made. As represented
on the accompanying drawings Figure 1 of which is a plan and Figure 2 a
horizontal section of the drain A, I form at or near each of the jointing sockets B
a hand hole or eye C, fitted with a removable cover D. The hand holes may
either be formed with annular lips E to protect the covers D or the hand holes
may be made only in the periphery of the drain and similarly covered. The covers
are then cemented in position and the drain tested. This form of drain allows of
access for filling in the jointing material and also provides for access to the drain
after it has been cleaned out. In the event of a choked drain the covers can be
removed, the drain cleared out and the covers cemented on again without the
necessity of disturbing any of the joints or of breaking the choked portion of
the drain.
Figures 3 and 4 are cross sections of different shapes of drains to which the
invention may be applied.
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 drain pipe trap or the like formed with a hand hole or eye substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.

JOHN EDWARD BEARD 141 Sherwood Street Nottingham Draper, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the construction of a show stand that may be
easily taken to pieces for conveniently packing into very small compass.
I construct the stand of wood, metal, or other suitable material made in a number
of small parts, which are secured together, by means of sockets screws or other
suitable fastenings, so as to form a rigid stand when put together.
I usually make stands of this description with a centre post, standing on three or
more feet or legs, which are held or secured to the centre post, by means of sockets,
being arranged slightly taper or wedge shaped, so as to easily make tight, and as
easily come apart. In the centre post I make a number of holes for receiving,
cross arms which are made to fit tightly in the holes, and secured in their place by
friction. The cross arms I preferably make eighteen inches long standing out
about nine inches from the centre post at each side.
When the cross arms are required to stand out from the centre post more
than nine inches I preferably make them in two parts, and joined together by the
centre post.
I do not confine myself to any defined method of construction, for it is evident,
there are many ways of constructing stands of this kind, and it is clear to
any ordinary mechanic that a stand may be constructed of far more numerous
pieces, of small dimensions and secured together by a variety of means.

Improvements in Screw Propellers.
I, JOSEPH YATES, of 304, Pimlico Road, London, S.W. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
According to this invention I curve the blades of the propeller to gradually
increase the pitch. This curve may be either a single one or a double one, when
the former, the curve is on the back edge of the blade, that is the edge opposite to
the edge that first acts on the water. When the curve is double it is the same on
both edges; in the latter case the shape of the blade is a kind of drawn out S.
In addition to curving the blades I may attach a curved or other shaped ledge or
projection on each side of the top of the blades to hold back the water from
slipping off the blades.

We WILHELM BROCKHAUSEN and FRIEDRICH BROCKHAUSEN both of Grosse
Altonaerstrasse 8 Riga in the Empire of Russia, 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide for the regulating or adjusting of the
bearings at the ends of connecting links or like parts of machines by means capable
of being operated at a desired distance from the bearing.
In the annexed drawing four different methods of performing this invention are
illustrated.
In Fig. 1 showing a link in cross section on two perpendicular planes the
connecting rod a is connected with the head 6 by means of a wedge d passing
through the end of the rod and through the socket piece c on the head b. Upon
the connecting rod slides the displaceable sleeve e suitably widened at its end
nearest the bearing to pass over the socket piece c of the head together with the
wedge d. This sleeve e ends in tenons ff, which pass through respective holes in
the base of the head band serve to push against the under side of lower bushing i.
are nuts on the thread g cut into the connecting rod at any suitable place so
that by regulation of these nuts the bushing i may be easily adjusted through the
sleeve e without it being necessary to touch the head b.
In Fig. 2 a modification of the above described method of performing this
invention is given suitable where the axle pin on which the head engages is of a
short length. The lower bushing i is adjusted by the tenons ff through the inter-
mediation of the cross wedge or key k.
In Fig. 3 the connecting rod a is shown with the head b made in one piece there-
with, consequently the sleeve e needs a widening, but immediately ends in the
tenons which latter, passing through holes in the head, reach to the bushing i.
In Fig. 4 arranged for a shorter axle pin, the tenons f of the sleeve e fit into
lateral recesses in the head band are flush on the outside with the end surfaces of
the head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.
An improved device for adjustment or regulation of the bearings of connecting
rods or the like from a suitable distance from said bearings consisting of a sleeve e
surrounding the connecting rod and having tenons ff at the one end fitting into
holes or slits in the head band bearing against one of the bushings or engaging
with a wedge k for the same purpose and at the other end adapted to be moved by
nut or nuts h h engaging on a screw thread on the connecting rod.

I, JOSEPH LINDLEY of Grosvenor Street, Ardwick, Manchester, Manufacturer,
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 :-
In performing my invention I take two layers of textile fabric and between these
two layers I place a thin layer of wadding or other soft packing material and stitch
the same together by ornamental or other suitable stitching and so form a material
soft to the touch and pleasing to the eye and which shall be an efficient substitute
for the "marcella" cloth hitherto used for toilet cases, toilet mats and other like
articles.
The fabric I employ may be of cotton linen, silk or other suitable material
with or without a printed or woven pattern and I may employ a cheaper fabric for
one side of the material, say, that which in use is not visible and a costlier one for
that which is visible.
The ornamental stitching may be varied by embroidery and embroidery may be
used for stitching the two fabrics together.
The covers, mats or cases so produced are finished off with the usual selvage or
ornamental edging.
By so making the mats or covers they serve to deaden the noise of articles
placed upon them owing to the packing aforesaid.
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-
Toilet covers, toilet mats, night-dress cases and the like composed of two layers
of textile fabric with a thin layer of packing material between them stitched together
by ornamental or other suitable stitching or embroidery and forming a substitute
for the "marcella" cloth hitherto used in the manufacture of such articles substan-

1, WILLIAM ALFRED LARGE, of 83 Chester Square, in the County of London,
Architect & Surveyor, 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 has for its object an improved mitre cutting appliance by means of
which two pieces of wood or other material may be cut obliquely simultaneously in
such a manner that their ends will better correspond than is generally the case with
ordinary mitering machines.
My improved appliance consists of a pair of saw blades secured together parallel
to one another at a distance apart by suitable frames, on one or both of which a
handle is formed or secured.
On the outer ends of these frames, slides are formed or attached by means of
which the whole may be guided between two or more pairs of guide posts attached
to a board or frame on which are also secured at suitable points stops against
which the strips of wood or other material may be held at right angles to each
other by cramps or the like whilst being cut.
Aud in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying drawings of which Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of a mitering
appliance constructed according to my invention.
Ր
The two saw blades a are secured together parallel to one another at a distance
apart by means of frames bou one or both of which a handle is formed or secured.
The outer ends of these frames 6 have slides 6' formed or attached to them
parallel with the saw blades by means of which the whole may be guided between
two or more pairs of guides d secured to the board or frame e on which are also
secured stops farranged at an angle of 90 degrees to one another and against
which the wood or other material may be held by cramps or other means whilst
being cut.
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.) A saw having two parallel blades secured together at a distance apart

to the needle bar of the latter. The rubber stopper e has a small central hole, so
as to be applied even to a fine needle centrally and with perfect closeness.
presser disk with the eccentric hole c¹. d is the metal ring or shell around the
stopper e, and fis the spiral spring above referred to.
The operation of the darning apparatus is as follows:
The needle-bar is brought into its highest position, and then the darning
apparatus is brought up to the needle from below as far as necessary. The needle
is threaded in the usual way, but the thread, before reaching the eye, is led through
the hole c' of the
presser
disk c.
с
When the machine is set a-going, the disk e by means of the spring presses
upon the stuff at the descent of the needle, and the stuff is held in its position until
the loop is finished and the shuttle has passed the loop. In other respects the
darning apparatus follows the motion of the needle and the transport of the stuff is
not stopped.
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 darning apparatus for use in connection with sewing machines: The
combination of the elastic disk e having a central aperture of smaller diameter than
the needle, and of the solid disk having a central aperture of greater diameter
than the needle, with a spring f connecting the parts e and c, for the purpose as
described.

An Improved Means for Destroying Moles.

An Improved Means for Destroying Moles.
I JAMES CURTIS, Butts of Scotlandwells, via Leslie Fife N.B. Molekiller,
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 an improved means for destroying moles, which has
hitherto been found of great difficulty owing to the mole eating only living food.
Poison is employed for the destruction of the animal in a novel manner by which
the mole is caused when eating worms to take in sufficient poisonous substance to
cause its death.
According to this invention a thread of cotton or such like material is dipped in a
poisonous liquid of suitable strength and afterwards inserted in the body of a
common earth worm on which the mole feeds.
The poison must be sufficiently strong to kill the mole, without destroying the
worm.
The poison should by preference be inserted through the head of the worm,
which is placed in the run of the mole so that its capture by the latter will be
ensured. The poison I prefer to use for this purpose is strychnine.
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 :
A means for destroying moles in which a thread of suitable material is
impregnated with poisonous substance and employed substantially in the manner
herein described.
