page_text: I, CHARLES CECIL BERESFORD WHYTE of Hartley Manor, Carrick on Shannon in
the County of Leitrim Ireland 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 :-
My invention relates to a holder for a fire arm such as a revolver, carbine or the
like, so constructed that it retains the weapon firmly, preventing its accidental
discharge while so held, and that it permits the arm to be detached by a single move-
I
ment of the hand, which, in effecting that action, holds the weapon ready for use.
will describe a holder according to my invention for a revolver or pistol referring to
the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view shewing the holder retaining a
revolver, and Fig. 2 is a section. The holder A is a bent steel spring, which may
hang from a helt B, as shewn, or may be attached to the dress of the wearer near his
left side so as to present the stock of the weapon conveniently to his right hand.
To the front limb of the holder A is fixed a boss C projecting inwardly towards the
back limb, but terminating with a rounded end at a little distance from the back limb.
This boss may be of hard wood or such like material secured to the front limb by a
rivet, or it may be, as shewn, a metal thimble made hollow for the sake of lightness,
secured by rivetting or brazing to the front limb. The wearer taking hold of the
weapon by its stock inclines it in such a way that he can insert the trigger guard D
edgeways between the boss C and the back limb of the holder. When the trigger
guard has passed the boss, the weapon, being let go, hangs in the position shewn in
Fig. 1, the trigger guard resting on the boss C. As this boss occupies nearly all the
space behind the trigger between it and the hinder limb of the trigger guard, the
trigger cannot be pulled back while the weapon is retained in the holder, and
consequently there can be no accidental discharge while the weapon is so held. When
weapon
it is required for use, the wearer has only to take hold of the stock of the
by a smart partial turn and downward strain he causes the trigger guard to pass the
and

page_text: boss C edgeways, thus releasing the weapon which he has in his hand ready for use.
Obviously a holder such as I have described, instead of being attached to a belt or
garment worn on the person, might be attached to a saddle.
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 safety holder for a fire arm constructed and used substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.

AN IMPROVED SYSTEM OF CUTTING GLOVES
Year: 1888

page_text: We JOSEPH WHITBY, of Yeovil, in the County of Somerset, Glove Manufacturer,
and JOHN SUTTON, of Yeovil in the County of Somerset, Glover, do hereby declare
the nature of our said invention for "AN IMPROVED SYSTEM OF CUTTING GLOVES
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 the manufacture of gloves more particularly leather gloves
and consists of a certain improved system of cutting the material of which they are
to be made by which we secure greater simplicity and strength and greater comfort
to the wearer than can be obtained by the method usually employed according to
which the whole of the thumb-piece is cut entirely separate from the other part.
In cutting gloves according to our invention we cut the glove in two separate
pieces, one being for the back or outside of the hand, the other for the palm or inside,
we cut part of the thumb on each piece, thus part of the back-piece, when the glove
is on the hand forms the covering of the ball and the outside of the pipe of the thumb ;
while part of the palm-piece forms a tongue or flap which completes the covering for
the pipe of the thumb.
Fig. 1, represents the back-piece of the glove so cut with a portion a of the thumb-
covering forming part of it. Fig. 2, represents the inside or palm-piece with the
flap b forming part of it. Fig. 3, represents the same when intended for a glove
with buttons.
The back-piece may be cut so that no part of it forms part of the thumb, a thumb-
piece being cut separately, but of such shape as to comprise the ball and the outside
only of the pipe. The palm-piece to correspond we make with an opening for the
insertion of the thumb and a flap which remains attached to the palm-piece, as shown
in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, in which Fig. 4, represents the back-piece, the same being cut
without any portion of the thumb attached; Fig. 5, the palm-piece with the flap e
formed from the piece cut from the opening d; Fig. 6, represents the same for a
glove intended to button, and Fig. 7, represents the separate thumb-piece required
for this application of the invention, and comprises g the ball and f the outside only
of the pipe.

page_text: 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:
1. The improved system of cutting gloves described in the foregoing Specification.
2. Cutting the pieces to form gloves the palm-piece and the back-piece being
separate and with the pieces for the thumb forming parts of these pieces substantially
as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawings.
3. Cutting the pieces to form Gloves with the palm and the back-piece separate,
with a flap e to form part of the thumb formed from the piece cut from the opening d
made for the insertion of the thumb-piece, and with a separate thumb-piece shown at
Fig. 7, all as described and delineated in Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7.

page_text: We LEWIS ROGERS, Accountant and EDWARD DUCKENFIELD, Cutler, both of
Northampton in the County of Northampton 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 a tool somewhat in the form of a many bladed pocket
knife comprising a number of separate parts especially useful to velocipede riders as
we shall describe referring to the accompanying drawing showing a longitudinal
section of a tool according to our invention.
There are jointed side by side to the handle at one end a knife blade A shewn closed
in, a spanner B nearly quite opened out and a screw driver C shewn half opened out
each of which can be opened for use or closed like the knife blade.
Behind these in the back of the handle is an oil flask D with a small nozzle in
front covered by a screw cap E and at its rear a slide F which can be pushed forward
in opposition to a spring G moving a piston at the bottom of the flask so as to cause
a jet of oil to issue from its nozzle. At the other end of the handle are pivotted a
pair of jaws H and K which can be folded out so as to present between them a gap
to act as a wrench or spanner.
By turning the milled head of a screw Lat the end of the handle, the jaw K. is
made to slide to or fro thus adjusting the gab of the wrench to the nut or screw which
may have to be turned by it.
Besides or instead of the knife blade A spanner B and screw driver C, other tools
such as a ginlet, pricker, corkscrew or the like might be jointed to the handle either
along with the tools shewn or in lieu of them.
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 :-
The construction and use of a comprehensive tool substantially as herein described
and illustrated by the drawing.

page_text: I, HERBERT WOODRUFF of Carr Holme, Wadsley Bridge, near Sheffield in the
County of York, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
.
The object of this invention is to improve the construction of volute and conical
springs, so as to remove objections which have been made against them.
The ordinary volute or conical spring is made by coiling, or wrapping the steel
round a spindle, leaving little or no space between the coils, consequently, when
the spring is compressed, there is a serious amount of friction set up, causing undue
punishment of the material, and increased risk of breakage.
In this invention, I provide small ribs of any convenient shape, at suitable distances
from each other, running longitudinally, or diagonally, or in any zig-zag, or
geometrical form or direction on the bar of steel used: so that when the steel is
coiled up, only the face of the small ribs are brought to bear upon the adjacent coil,
and thus the friction is reduced to a minimum. The upper part of the section of
steel to be used for volutes, is rounded off externally but carried up to a point
internally, so that a good guide is obtained for the working of the coils. The bottom
edge of the section of steel is rounded to prevent any danger of the coils catching
upon the ribs.
The breaking up of the surface of the steel is also very advantageous in the
hardening and tempering of the springs, and ensures greater elasticity, and higher
resisting power.
The rounding of the edges also prevents any cutting of the box, or receptacle, in
which the springs work.

page_text: 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. Volute or conical springs made from steel having ribs or projections upon
one face which when the steel is coiled bear upon the other face substantially as
described.
2. Volute or conical springs made from steel rounded at the corners substantially
as described.
3. Volute or conical springs substantially as described and shown in the drawing.

I, CHARLES THOMAS WATSON, of 76 High Holborn, London, W.C., 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 :-
My invention relates to a construction and arrangement of a machine for printing
cards envelopes, small circulars, and the like whereby in small compass and in a
simple manner I obtain great strength with facility of working as I will describe
referring to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 is a
longitudinal section of a machine according to my invention for printing cards or
envelopes which is shewn as being worked by hand but which might obviously be
worked by steam or other power.
In two standards A A projecting up from the base B are formed bearings for the
driving shaft C. On the one end of this shaft is the flywheel with winch handle D,
on the other end is a disc E having sunk in its inner face an eccentric or cam
groove F. In the middle of the shaft C is forged in one with it the pressing cam G.
As the shaft C is turned this cam bearing on the head H of the platten rod pushes down
the platten I in opposition to a spring which as the cam Ġ turns round raises the
platten.
In the cam or eccentric groove F runs a roller mounted on one arm of a lever K
the other arm of which is connected by a link L to an arm of a rocking shaft M.
Another arm N of this rocking shaft has a pin working in the vertical slot of a
bracket which projects down from the sliding table P. On this table are the
catches Q which passing under the pile of cards or envelopes contained in the space R
carry forward the lowest one of the pile under the platten I to be printed by the
forme S which is adjustably fixed on the platten. At every forward stroke of the

page_text: table P it by means of a pawl and ratchet T causes the ink table U to turn partly
round and passes the inking rollers V over the table.
The table in its retreat and also in its succeeding advance passes these rollers along
the forme S inking it thoroughly.
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 construction and use of the printing machine. herein described and illustrated.

page_text: We, ARTHUR BOAKE and FREDERICK GEORGE ADAIR ROBERTS and ARTHUR SHEARER
and WILLIAM BRANTINGHAM GILES all of Wharton Road, Stratford in the County of
Essex, Manufacturing 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 has for its object to produce Sodium-meta-Sulphite in an economical
and ready manner.
According to our invention we pass sulphur di-oxide through or in contact with
sodium carbonate or bi-carbonate, or sodium hydrate in solution and at an elevated
temperature preferably ranging from about 110° Fahrenheit to boiling point of the
solution. The action is continued until the absorption of sulphur di-oxide
ceases and the solution is found to have attained a specific gravity between 1.400
and 1.450. The solution is then cooled or allowed to cool and sodium-meta-sulphite
crystallizes out.
We do not limit ourselves to any precise form of apparatus in which to conduct the
process according to our invention but that represented in the accompanying drawing
is suited to the purpose.
Sulphur di-oxide is generated in a vessel as at A and passed by a pipe a into the
washing vessel B and is then passed by the pipe b into a vessel C provided with a
stirrer or agitatore and containing a solution of sodium carbonate or bi-carbonate or
sodium hydrate which is maintained by means of a hot water jacket or steam coil or
by other suitable means at a temperature of about 110° Fahrenheit or higher but
preferably keeping the solution gently boiling.
As soon as the solution bas attained a specific gravity of 1.450 or thereabouts at
boiling point and ceases to absorb the sulphur di-oxide (which is ascertained by testing
a portion of the fluid) the solution is run into a vessel to crystallize and the sodium-
meta-sulphite which crystallizes out upon cooling is removed.
It is to be understood that in place. of taking the sodium carbonate and sodium
hydrate as such we may use compounds which together would form a sodium hydrate
or sodium carbonate-such for instance as sodium sulphate and calcium hydrate-but
where such compounds are used and residual products or precipitates are formed
therefrom it will be necessary to remove them by filtration decantation or in other
convenient ways.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The manufacture and production of sodium-meta-sulphite by passing sulphur dioxide
through or in contact with sodium carbonate or bi-carbonate or sodium hydrate in
solution (or a mixture of compounds which would yield them) and at an elevated
temperature substantially as hereinbefore explained.
