page_text: Improvements in Golf Clubs.
I, WILLIAM PARK Junior, of Musselburgh in the County of Midlothian,
Golf Club 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 golf clubs and it has for its object to improve their
construction.
In carrying out my invention the wood forming the head is bent into shape,
instead of being cut as usual, and is compressed.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows a piece of wood, preferably hickory, from which the head is made.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the piece of wood on the line - Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows in side view and Fig. 4 in plan a finished golf club head.
When making a golf club head in accordance with my invention I use a piece
of wood a (preferably hickory) which is bent from the straight form indicated in
dotted lines at a¹ to the curved shape shown in full lines at a². The wood is compressed
either before or after being bent so as to give it additional solidity and strength.
The head bis cut or shaped out of the bent piece a to the form indicated in
dotted lines Fig. 1.
.
The finished golf club head which is shown at Figs. 3 and 4 has, preferably, a
strip or piece of horn c or the like inserted in its striking face. The top of the
club may also be made with a large bulge d of curved shape instead of the usual
flat upper surface.
As will be seen from Fig. 1 the head is only slightly cut as compared with the
usual form of clubs and therefore it is much stronger and less liable to split.
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 ]
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A golf club head made substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to
the drawings annexed.

A New or Improved Letter File.
I FREDERICK HENRY BROWNE of 42 High Street Deal Kent Organ Builder
and Musicseller 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 file for letters and other documents, and is
intended to provide a device of this description which will be very simple and
inexpensive, and can be easily applied.
The file consists simply of a length of stout spring wire bent into the form of an
open ring, with one end turned outwards and formed with a point, and the other
bent into a loop. The point or spike is thrust through the papers in the ordinary
manner and the latter are threaded on to the wire, after which the ring is. closed by
bringing the ends together and passing the loop over the pointed end, which forms
a hook, thus securing the papers and preventing them coming off until the ring is.
opened.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of the file showing it open, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of
the same, and
Fig. 3 shows the file closed and in use.
The wire, of steel or other suitable metal, is bent round in circular or other
curved form into the ring A, which springs open when released.
The end B is bent outwards into the form of a hook, and is pointed, so that it.
can be easily thrust through the papers. The other end is bent into a loop C
which can be sprung over the hook B, thus closing the ring as shown in Fig. 3.
when the papers have been threaded on.
This file can hold a large number of documents and allow them to be readily
inspected.
The files can be hung up on nails or otherwise stored in any convenient manner.
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. An improved paper file consisting of an open spring ring hooked and pointed:
at one end and provided at the other with a loop which can be sprung on to the
hook, securing the papers, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2. The improved paper file formed from a length of spring wire bent into a ring
form, with one end pointed and hooked and the other bent into a loop, which can be
sprung on to the hook, the papers being threaded on the wire, substantially as
described and shown and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in Supports for Shafts of Wagons, Lorries, and
the like.
I, JOSEPH PIMBLEY of Gore Houses, Altcar in the County of Lancaster,
Farmer, 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 relieve horses and other draught-beasts of the
weight of the shafts of wagons, lorries and the like which have the shafts hinged to
the fore-part of the wheel-carriage or truck and also, to make more convenient
the placing of horses in, and the removing of horses from, between the shafts.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings:-
Figures 1 and 2 represent a plan and elevation respectively of part of a lorrie
showing the shafts and wheel carriage or truck to which they are hinged.
In Figures 1 and 2 a and a¹ are hangers attached or fastened to the wheel-
carriage or truck, these hangers being connected by a plate which also forms the
bottom of the boxes c and c¹. The boxes c and c¹ each contain a helical spring, d
and d', let in, or fastened, to the bottom and lid of the box. The lids e and e¹ of
the boxes c and c are hinged on brackets f and f¹, and f³ and f³ respectively
attached to the back of the boxes c and c¹ so as to make the centre of the hinges g
and g of the lids e and e' coincide with the plane of the underside of the shafts.
Friction rollers and h¹ are fixed either, on the underside of the shafts; or, on the
top of the lids e and e¹.
Normally the power of the springs d and d' will cause the shafts to assume a
position similar to that represented by the dotted lines in Figure 2, and when the
shafts are in that position a horse can be conveniently brought into place under the
shafts and the shafts lowered for attaching to the harness. In lowering the shafts
the springs d and d' will be compressed and while the shafts are kept in the
lowered position by the attachment to the harness, the springs d and d¹ will tend to
restore them to their normal position thus relieving the horse of their weight. The
springs d and d¹ are not intended to be so strong that they would support a horse
should it fall.
It is evident that more than two helical springs could be employed, and that
other forms of springs could be adapted, for the purpose.
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 supports for shafts of wagons, lorries and the like: the arrangement of
springs supported from the wheel- carriage or truck and enclosed in boxes with
hinged lids, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

I, ALFRED JAMES BROOKS, of 1019 Upland Street, Chester, in the County of
Delaware, and State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, Draftsman,
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 more especially to improvements in caulking vessels, but it
is equally applicable.for weather-boarding for houses, cars, beer and other vats, etc.
The invention consists in chamfering and grooving the adjacent edges of two
planks, the chamfering forming a wedge-like space between the planks to about
three-quarters of the thickness of the planks, while the grooves form a bulb at the
lower end of the wedge shaped space. Fibrous material is inserted in the wedge-
shaped space between the planks and forced by suitable caulking tools down into
the bulb until the bulb and the aforesaid space are tightly packed with said
material. The wedge-shaped space is packed' with the fibrous material to within
about half-an-inch from the top of the planks and pitch or other suitable material
is "run" in and fills this portion of the space.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a vertical-sectional view of two planks with my invention embodied.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a slight modification.
A represents the planks the edges of which are chamfered as at a, and grooved
at b, thus when the two planks thus cut are adjacent to each other the chamfers
form a space gradually diminishing in diameter toward the center of the plank
while the grooves form a bulb at the end of the chamfera. Fibrous material* C is
driven into the space formed by the chamfers thus into the bulb, where it is packed
into a hard mass which forms a key to prevent the fibrous material from working
out of the seam. The fibrous material extends from the bulb to within about half
an inch from the surface of the plank and pitch D or other suitable material is run
in on the fibrous material.
$6
When it is desired to recaulk, all that is necessary is to ream out the pitch, and
run in. fresh pitch without disturbing the fibrous material..
"
In the modification, it will be readily seen that I simply chamfer one plank while
the adjacent plank is grooved.
I do not claim broadly the combination of grooved edges and fibrous packing,
nor do I claim grooved edges cut so as to form an acute angle with the surface of
the plank and to meet when the planks are in place.
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 combination of two plauks having coincident chamfered and grooved edges.
and fibrous material packed in to the space formed by the chamfers and grooves,
substantially as described.

Improvements in the Construction of Navigable Vessels.
I, HENRY FREDERICK SWAN, of North Jesmond, Newcastle-on-Tyne, in the
County of Northumberland, Ship-builder, 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 provide a means whereby navigable vessels may
be quickly divided or separated longitudinally when afloat, to allow of their being
passed through spaces, such as canals, dock gates, or streams, of less width than the
full beam of the vessels.
In carrying out my invention, I construct double longitudinal bulkheads, either
one or both of which may extend the full depth of the vessel, or only to a sufficient
distance above the line of flotation. The double bulkheads will preferably be
placed in the centre line of the vessel, but they may be placed to one side or other
of the centre line according as the exigencies of the internal arrangement of the
vessel may require. The bulkheads need not necessarily be carried to the extreme
ends of the vessel in a straight line, but may be varied towards the ends, to
facilitate re-joining, as for example, in single screw steamers where it would be
obviously impracticable to split the vessel in the centro line. The holding together
of the sections to be attained by means of bolts, rivets, or other suitable devices,
but always so arranged, that the operation can be quickly carried out afloat.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and
ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which
similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, and which drawings are
intended to show generally the manner in which such vessels may be sub-divided.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a vessel, but the invention is applicable to any ordinary
form of navigable vessel.
Fig. 2 shows the double bulkheads in the centre line of the vessel, and carried
from keel to deck, the two sides of the vessel being attached by bolts, or rivots, at
the points a, and 6, the attachments at a, being either under the deck, or above tho
deck as may be preferred.
Fig. 3 represents a view in plan of the vessel so divided.
Fig. 4 represents the longitudinal bulkheads placed off the centre line.
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 the construction of "divisible" navigable vessels the mode of dividing them
longitudinally so that the parts may be taken asunder whilst afloat for passing
through openings of less than the vessels breadth,,substantially as herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.

A New or Improved Device for Closing the Plaquet Hole of Ladies'
Skirts, also applicable for Closing the Pocket.
I, HORACE WILLIAM WILSON of 4, King Street, Regent Street, London,
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 new or improved device of simple construction for
closing the plaquet hole in ladies skirts and has for its object to provide a cheap
and handy device which can be quickly and easily applied, at the same time
effectually and securely closing the said plaquet hole, and thus doing away with
the unsightly appearance of the plaquet hole gaping open which now frequently
occurs.
In carrying my invention into practical effect I form a device consisting of two
strips of any suitable fabric and furnished with a stiffening inside, which are joined
together at their lower ends and each one furnished with a row of eyelet holes.
The device is sewn within the plaquet hole, one strip being attached to each side,
and by passing a suitable cord or face through the aforesaid eyelet holes the two
strips may be drawn together and the plaquet hole effectually closed, the cord
being then tied in a bow and tucked within the skirt or passed round the waist
and secured in any suitable manner. Instead of the eyelet holes hereinbefore
referred to, I may use a row of tags or studs around which the cord would pass
for the purpose of closing the plaquet hole as hereinbefore described.
Although I have described my invention as applied to plaquet holes it is obvious
that it may be also applied for closing the pocket or any other opening to which it
could be effectually applied.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a view of my improved device in the open position while
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device drawn together or closed.
My improved device consists of two arms or strips ab secured together at the
bottom by means of stitches or in any other suitable manner and furnished with
eyelets i through which the cord or lace c is passed. The arms or strips a bare
sewn within the plaquet hole one on either side so that the said plaquet may be
effectually closed by drawing them together by means of the cord c.
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 :-
The new or improved device for closing, and retaining in the closed position
plaquet holes of ladies skirts, pockets, or the like, substantially as herein described
and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Oilcans.
I, JEAN SCHWIEBERT of Barmen, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, Commercial
Traveller, Sternstrasse 76, 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 such improvements in oilcans, especially for household
purposes, by means of which it is made almost absolutely impossible, that the
contents of the can, petroleum for instance, can be ignited and explosions caused.
I attain this object by constructing my improved safety oilcan without a lid that
can be taken off and by preventing the accumulation of gases in the upper empty
part of the can, that is by creating a continuous exit for these gases.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the new can and
Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.
The can O may be made of any shape and size, preferably as usual in cylindrical
form;
The
the top A is quite closed and made without a removable lid or cover.
spout B starts from the bottom of the can and rises up to the top of the fixed cover;
here it is provided with a specially shaped nozzle C, that can be fixed to the spout
by screwing it thereon or by a bayonet joint. The spiral shape has for its object
to form an hydraulic closure so that in no case whatever fire can stricke into the
can from this side.
When the pot is to be filled the nozzle is taken off and the oil poured in through
the spout or pipe B. However in order to be able to fill the can conveniently
especially when it has been filled up to the upper edge of the starting bent of B,
means must be provided for the escape of the air and also for the entrance of air
when oil shall be poured out of the can. For this purpose I have arranged the
handle D of hollow section or tube like in any suitable form; this hollow handle
being open at both ends; the upper end leading into the can O, the top A being
perforated at the point of junction, and the lower end communicating with the
open air.
This hollow channel D or handle at the same time serves as a regular outlet for
gases, which may be formed in the interior of the can by evaporation, and thus the
oilcan as described and shown answers all purposes required.
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 safety can for explosive liquids, such as petroleum and the like, in form of
a hollow vessel which has no movable lid or cover and is closed entirely and which
can only be filled and emptied by a spout B provided at its top with a spirally
wound nozzle C, which can be taken off when the can shall be filled, and forming
an hydraulic closure when put on; the can being provided with a handle D forming
at the same time a feed pipe and outlet pipe for air when the can is being emptied
and when it is being filled, the whole as set forth and for the purpose set forth.

remained adhering to the small inlet-valve, so that its quantity could never be
exactly regulated; and that the petroleum passed to the not sufficiently heated.
place immediately behind the valve. In order to avoid this, I have made the
arrangement illustrated by the accompanying drawing, which is a vertical and
longitudinal section of the respective part of an oil-motor. The oil-injection-
canula c is directed into the one arm of the angular gasifier d, which is heated
by a lamp in the well known manner. In this arrangement it is impossible for
the small air inlet-valve b to be moistened with petroleum. Exactly measured.
quanties of petroleum may be distributed for every single stroke, reaching only

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 several forms of corsets or stays have been devised for the so called
improvement and development by ladies figures my invention has in addition to
these advantages the object of forming a real support for the breasts without the
addition of padding or cumbersome material all of which are injurious to the
circulation of the blood and to the health.
My appliance is constructed of xylonite or any other suitable material and
consists of a pair of cup or semi cup shaped shields which may be connected by a
band of elastic or other suitable material, the shields are perforated with holes for
the purpose of allowing free ventilation, and on the inside is attached a ledge or
sloping shelf with rounded edge as a rest or support for the breasts, similar holes
are placed on the underside of this ledge for ventilation. Around the edges of the
shields I attach a pneumatic tube so that undue pressure on the body is obviated.
The cup-shaped shields cau be worn with ordinary morning dress, but with
dresses cut low for evening wear the semi-cup shaped appliance will be necessary.
The appliance may be worn next the body or if preferred outside or inside the
ordinary corset. Bands may be attached to fasten round the body if desired, but
it will be generally found that the appliance will be kept in position by the dress
or corset worn over the same.
Fig. 1 is a representation of the inside of the semi cup shaped shield with inside
ledge A and with the pneumatic rim B and the band C for joining the two shields
together.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a representation of the outside of the same with pneumatic rim B and
baud C and shewing the holes for ventilation on the surface.
Fig. 4 is a representation of the inside of the cup shaped shield with inside ledge
and pneumatic rim and shewing the band C.
Fig. 5 is a section view of the same.
Fig. 6 is a representation of the side view of the outside of same.
The holes for ventilation are shewn in all the figures.
The advantages of this invention are considerable, perfect ventilation being
secured, while a constant and firm support is provided for the breasts, irritation and
friction is prevented, the breasts are allowed to develop, while a more graceful form
or contour is given to the bust.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is:
The combination of a cup or semi cup shaped shield with the inside ledge for
the purpose of supporting the breast and giving grace to the figure substantially
as described and set forth.

We, CHARLES WEYGANG, of " Edneys' West Willow, Romsey, Hants,
Gentleman and THE PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SYNDICATE LIMITED
of
1 Whittington Avenue, in the City of London, 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 the treatment of petroleum for the production of an
artificial fuel.
For this purpose we take about 3 parts by weight of rosin and saponify the same
with an alkali preferably soda, operating in the known manner as in making rosin
soap for sizing paper.
After the leys separate, we mix the soap with about 12 parts by weight of
petroleum and about 6 parts by weight of gypsum, preferably freshly calcined-
we thoroughly mix the ingredients and continue stirring until the mixture becomes
so viscid that its ingredients do not separate and we leave it for a few hours to
set solid.
With the ingredients named, either before or after their setting, we mix
carbonaceous matters such as small coal, coke dust, or the like, in almost any
proportions usually from 50 to 100 parts of material such as coal dust to 100 parts
of the petroleum compound.
Instead of combining the petroleum rosin and alkali with gypsum they may be
combined with silicate of soda and calcium chloride in which case we operate as
follows: We melt together about 120 parts petroleum and 20 parts or more of
rosin. We then slightly cool the mixture and add in small doses a mixture of
about 20 parts of a strong solution of silicate of soda and 10 parts of a saturated
solution of strong caustic soda. We actively stir the whole and gently heat it up
to boiling point, continuing this until the mass begins to thicken. In a short time
it begins to solidify, whereupon we work in gradually and in small doses about
15 parts (reckoning dry weight) of calcium chloride dissolved in as little water as
possible. We mix, knead or grind the mass, until it becomes a uniform putty-like
grey substance, adding if necessary a little water in small doses. This compound
may be used with advantage as a fire kindler.
It has already been proposed to compound mineral oils with rosin, and alkalies,
we therefore make no general claim for the compounding of these substances, but
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 :-
1. The herein described manufacture of artificial fuel by combining petroleum
with saponified rosin and gypsum with or without addition of carbonaceous
matters.
2. The herein described manufacture of a solid applicable as fuel or fire kindler
by combining petroleum, rosin, caustic, soda, silicate of soda, and calcium
chloride.

Improvements in Mud Guards.

Improvements in Mud Guards.
I, RICHARD LEE PHILPOT of Radford House, Coventry, General Manager
Rudge Cycle Company Limited, 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 a simple and detachable mud guard:
for use on velocipedes as an addition to the ordinary fixed mud guard in wet or
dirty weather when the ordinary fixed mud guard becomes ineffective.
To this end I construct my detachable mud guard A. of leather or other
flexible material, to which I attach by rivets or other suitable means a steel
collar B with a hole B' in the centre for fastening by means of a screw to the
fixed mud guard attached to the machine. I make the said steel collar curved to.
a slightly sharper angle than the fixed mud guard so as to induce a slight pressure
on the screw when in place and to prevent it from shaking loose.
Figure 1. shews my detachable flexible mud guard fixed to the ordinary mud
guard C.
Figure 2. shews my mud guard loose and detached.
On wet and dirty roads it is found, especially where broad pneumatic tyres are
used, that a large quantity of mud is thrown up and the ordinary fixed mud guard
is not sufficient protection to the feet and legs of the rider. To obtain this
protection it is necessary that the mud guard should reach almost to the ground.
If the ordinary mud guard were brought down to this length-which is not
necessary in dry weather-it has been found that it would catch on any obstacle
over which the front wheel had passed and break, strain, or drag it out of position..
This would be especially the case in riding a machine from the side path on to the
road, as directly the front wheel had passed the curb the fixed mud guard would
come on to the curb with a jerk. This difficulty is obviated by my flexible mud
guard, which if it came into contact with any such obstacle would readily benda
and readjust itself.
My invention can be attached to any velocipede which is provided with an.
ordinary fixed mnd guard. It is easily attached and detached, and it is only
necessary to bore a hole in the ordinary mud guard to correspond with the hole 13
in my flexible mud guard. The flexible mud guard is then placed over the
ordinary mud guard and the screw D screwed through connecting at the underside.
of the ordinary mud guard with the screw plate E which is curved to the same.
angle as the ordinary mud guard.
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 l
claim is :-
:-
A detachable flexible mud guard for velocipedes substantially as described.

Improved Means for Preventing Slip in Pneumatic Tyres
or the like
I, HEDLEY WALTER FRENCH MOGG, of St. Mary's Street Bridgwater, Grocer
and Flour Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved non-slipping band for pneumatic tyres and
has for its object to provide against side and back-slip, especially when going round
a corner or when a rider is not going perfectly straight.
According to my invention I provide a series of diagonal pieces or strips (made
of india-rubber or other suitable material) across the surface of the tyre, these
strips being made of a number of small strips, so as to increase the grip and
decrease the slip.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I have furnished the
accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein
Fig. 1, is a sectional elevation showing the non-slipping cover as fitted to an
ordinary pneumatic tyre.
Fig. 2 is plan of same.
Fig. 3 is a plan of a modification.
Fig. 4 is a section of one of the ribs.
Referring to the drawings b is the tyre e is the cover on which the diagonal
pieces a a are fastened by any suitable means, or they may be formed integral with
the said tyre.
The angle of the diagonal pieces is such that the weight of the machine will
always come on one or more of these said pieces thus giving a continuous grip.
The surface of each piece or strip may be serrated or not as found desirable this
also increases the grip and prevents slipping.
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 new or improved means for preventing slipping of pneumatic or other tyres.
consisting of diagonal strips put on at such an angle substantially as described and
shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4.
2. The modification of means for preventing slipping of pneumatic or other tyres
substantially as described and shown with reference to Fig. 3.
3. The non-slipping cover with the diagonal pieces as substantially described and
shown.
