J OTTO THÖNE, of 15 Dornerbrückstrasse Barmen, in the Empire of Germany
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 :--
By means of my improved corset fasteuer, the corsets can, as compared with
previous usage, be very quickly unfastened since, by a single movement of the
hand, the simultaneous unclasping of all the fastenings is effected.
On the accompanying drawing, Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 show the details of the
fastener, whilst Figs. 5 and 6 show in full size the arrangement of the fastener
and the method of opening it..
My fastener consists in principle of two loops corresponding to each other and
fastened to the corset blades. In Figs. 1 and 2 one loop is shown, this consisting of
a plate a riveted to the corset blade and bent upwards. At the end of this plate
a pin b provided with a head, is riveted. The loop shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is
rotatably attached to the corset blade and consists of the plate d rotatable about
the pine and having a claw shaped indentation e to receive the pin b of the
which are
plate a. Under the plate is a spring / lying round the pins and
riveted in the corset blades. This spring bears against the pin i secured to the
plate d. The lower part of the plate rests against a pin k secured to the corset
blade so that the plate d always occupies a position suitable for the fastening of
the corset. The fastening of the corset is effected by inserting the pin 6 of the
plate a in the claw shaped indentation e of the plate d, whilst the opening of the
corset is effected by lifting the corset blade to which the plates a are fastened.
The pin 6 of the plate a takes the plate d with it, the latter rotating about the
pin c. When this arrives at a nearly perpendicular position the pins 6 slide out of
the indentation e and the corset is opened. By the rotation of the plate d the
spring his put in tension, by the pin i, and presses the plate d, after the opening
of the corset, into its former position. The plate d is prevented from springing
too far back by the pin k.
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 corset fastener permitting the simultaneous unfastening of all the clasps
each consisting of a pair of plates fastened to the corset blades one of which is
bent over and provided with a pin whilst the other has an indentation and is
rotatably fastened and kept in position by a spring, substantially as described.
2. The arrangement and construction of corset fastenings, substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Box Irons.
1, WILLIBALD PRIEBS, Merchant of Güterbahnhofstrasse 23 Dresden, in the
Empire of Germany, 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 the present invention is a box iron in which the heat issuing from
the inserted iron or other heating block or device is concentrated on the bottom of
the iron by providing a heat nonconductive substance surrounding the upper part,
which substance is removable; the consequence of said concentration being to
utilize the entire heat, without loss and to permit of convenient handling of the iron
in as much as the heat is diverted from the upper part of the same.
In the annexed drawing the box iron is represented in section, Figs. 1 and 2,
showing a longitudinal and a cross section respectively.
The box iron consists in the box proper a, the bottom of which being screwed
on to it, projects all round the edge of this projecting bottom plate b, has in its
upper surface a groove c along near its circumference which groove is adapted to
receive a cord, or strip of asbestos i. The box a is encased in another box d, which
latter, by means of screws e which engage with box a and which at the same time
serve to fasten thereon the handle, is pressed down into contact with the asbestos
cord, by which a tight joint is secured. On the rear end of the box d, there is an
angular attachment g which, pressing against box a closes the intervening space
between the two. The object of this interening space is to receive the non-
conductive material h, such as asbestos, silicious sinter, or the like which material
is pressed, inserted into the hollow space. The cover or door also is adapted
to receive nonconductive material so that this material when it becomes unfit for
use can like that in the box be quickly replaced. Thus with the exception of the
bottom, which is exchangeable and which can be made of different metal, the box
is provided with nonconductive material all round, so that the heat being
concetrated in the bottom can only issue from the latter.
In consequence of this construction the heat of the iron is more permanent as well
as more intense at the bottom, and the person handling it is not exposed to
the danger of being burned.
It may be added that in order to heat the box it does not necessarily require a
heated steel, but the box may be made, so as to be heated by means of a gas jet or
otherwise.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A box iron having the box proper a, with exchangeable bottom b, and the outer
box d, the space between the boxes a and d being filled with heat, nonconductive
material removable therefrom substantially as described.

Improvement in Valve Gear.
JOHN ANDERSON Pottery Lane Newcastle on Tyne 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:
This invention relates to power motors, as steam engines or such like, aud is
designed to dispence with the usual eccentrics and links, for imparting motion to
slide valves. And consists of cams fixed upon the shaft which acting upon anti-
friction rollers connected with the valve rods, gives direct motion to the slide
valves. The perephery of the cams is formed so as to give the quick motion
required at the various parts of the stroke, and can be made in sections and
adjustable to cut off at any part of the stroke.
I will now procede to explain more in detail reference being had to figures and
letters upon the acompanying drawings. Fig. 1. is a side view showing section of
the shaft with cam and gear. Fig. II. is a plan of the same.
D is the shaft upon which are fixed the cams E, which when revolving acts
against the rollers C which are running upon centres fixed to the bell cranks A,
which are pivoted upon a crosshead on one end of arm B, the other end is hinged
at M, to a fixed part of the engine frame. The valve rod I. is attached to arm B
near the centre line of shaft D and rollers C so that the action of cam E revolving
against the rollers C. gives corresponding motion to the valve rod I. The rollers
are controlled and kept in position by the link bars K which are attached to bell
cranks A, and also to the cross bar J and controlled by lever H to change the
action from one cam to the other when reversing the engine and is retained in
position by the notched quadrant L. The arm B with its set of rollers being on
either side of the shaft, viz., opposite each other and connected by the tie rod G,
so that the revolutions of cam E imparts alternate motion to the rod I. and the
valves attached to it.
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
First. The cams E in place of eccentrics.
Second. Bell cranks A with rollers C in combination with link rods K. and
cross slide J.
Thirdly. Arms B in connection with valve rod I, and the whole as a combination
substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth, or any mere modification of
he same.

An Improvement in Brooсn-pins and start-p
LEOPOLD HERMAN ROHRER of 14 Wellington Road, Todmorden, Yorks,
Watchmaker and Jeweller do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
To improve the method of attaching brooch pins and scarf-pins by means of a
pin (Fig. 5) split at the upper end, or by means of a pin (Fig. 6) to which is
attached a strong wire (Fig. 6B).
The object of the invention is to enable any person in case of breakages to the
pin to adjust a new pin thus saving time, labour and expense. By simply pressing
together the heads of the pin (cd Fig. 34) between the finger and thumb the pin
may be inserted into the joints as in a b Fig. 3. When the pressure is removed the
elasticity of the pin causes it to become firmly fixed in the joints where it is held
in position by the tongue O, Fig. 4B, which passes through the split portions of
the pin c. d Fig. 3.
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 shew the brooch attachment, and
Figs. 1, 2 and 34 the pin when in position.
Figs. 5 and 6 shew the pin when unattached, and

An Improved Skate.
I, PETER HOLZRICHTER of Unter-Barmeu, in the Empire of Germany,
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 has for its object an improved skate, in which the tightening
of the entirely separate sole and heel clamps takes place by means of a short
screw arranged on the side of the sole.
In the accompanying drawing a bottom plan of the invention is shown.
The heel clamps a and b of this improved skate have the same form of guide
support as the sole clamps c and d, which guide supports are entirely similar
to those employed for the "Mercury" skate. The connection of both clamps is
effected by means of four levers e f g h, pivotally connected one to another.
Screw nuts and are rivetted or otherwise suitably secured on the two
levers e and 9 respectively, through which nuts a screw spindle 1, provided
with a right and left hand thread, passes. This screw spindle is squared at.
one end m which may be turned by means of a suitable key.
By turning this squared end, the inner pivots of the levers e f g h are moved
apart and thus close or tighten the clamps a b and c d, whilst, by turning the
screwed spindle in the other direction the clamps are loosened.
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 :-
An improved skate with side heel clamps separate from the sole clamps
characterised by a pivoted connection of four levers e f g h between the sole and
heel clamps, said clamps being closed or tightened by means of a screwed spindle
having a right and left hand thread passing through nuts or internally screwed
lugs and kon two of said levers 9 and h, substantially as described and illustrated.

Improvements in Pencils.
I MOSES JAMES ADAMS Engineer 5 & 7 Old Queen Street Westminster 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 :-
Whereas in the past the lead used in pencils has been round in cross section or
square or octagonal and has required cutting to bring it to a point for use from
time to time, now I form my leads of such a cross section that they shall maintain
an acute angle or edge which angle or edge in fact becomes the writing edge of the
pencil and its point does not require the ordinary process of sharpening so long as
the lead itself projects beyond the wood casing or other sheath in which it is
enveloped and as I find that the lead formed in its cross section as a triangle
possesses the desired acute edges so I form my lead in this cross section with three
flat sides.
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
1st. The use of pencil leads having three flat sides and being triangular, in cross
section.
2nd. The combination of triangular leads with the sheath of wood or other
material used to envelope it.
3rd. The use of leads or other medium used for marking in strips or pieces
which shall be triangular in the cross section and shall maintain if cut across or
broken three acute edges.

1, JOHN WILLIAM HEWITT, South Carr, Bawtry, Yorks, House Decorator,
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 new or improved attachment for cycles, which I will
proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings
wherein;
Fig. 1 is a view of my device attached to a cycle of well known shape.
Figs. 2 & 3 being enlarged views of portions of my attachment.
My attachment is a sunshade or umbrella of which A is a form which the boss
for holding the ribs of shade may take, although I may use any suitable shaped
boss. In the form as shewn in Fig. 4, I provide holes a a suitable distance apart,
through which pass the ribs on which is stretched the fabric composing the
shade proper.
B is a rod on which the part A is fixed in any suitable manner.
The said rod
or bar B is attached to the handle bar or other suitable part of the machine by a
clip C. This clip I preferably form as follows:
I make a boss split at one end as shewn in Fig. 2, having a hinge H a nut and
bolt F, and a thumb screw G, which is for the purpose of fixing the bar B in
position.
A hole is also provided of similar shape to the cross section of the rod or
bar B.
My apparatus is fixed to any suitable part of the machine as follows:-
:-
I take the clip C (and supposing I fix same to the handle bar) and pass the split
end over the bar, and then screw up the bolt F.
I then place in the hole h the bar B, and upon same being placed at the required
height, I tighten up the thumb screw G.
On the other end of said bar B I fix the shade proper A', thus completing the
whole device.
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
