IMPROVEMENTS IN BEDSTEADS
Year: 1884

page_text: I LOUIS DUTRIEZ manufacturer of 34 Dean street, Soho in the County of
Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN BEDSTEADS to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in bedsteads and the mode of
construction is as follows: My improved bedstead consists only of what are called
the head and the foot; the side rails and the laths are dispensed with.
Instead of having one head rail and one foot rail, I fix two head rails and two
foot rails one placed over the other at a distance. of about six inches a part.
At the head of an ordinary spring mattress I screw or otherwise attach on each
side a piece carrying two flat hooks placed one over the other and which engage
with the head rails and at the foot of the said spring mattress I also attach hooks
similar to those attached to the head, and which engage with the foot rails.
The bedstead is thus formed only by the head, the foot and a spring mattress,
which through the flat hooks engage with the head, and the foot rails, and may be
thus easily mounted and dismounted.
Dated this 27th day of February 1884.

page_text: I, HENRY LEONARD BENNISON of New Cross in the County of Kent, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ROTARY
MOTORS, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present, like many existing rotary engines, is intended to act as a pump
when the central shaft is driven to cause the working of the internal cylinder
within the case, and to act as an engine proper when the internal cylinder
within the case is driven by water or steam to cause the working of the central
shaft.
The invention consists in constructing the internal cylinder of rotary motors
with four sliding blades, to work and act as stops across the annular space or
pressure chamber between the internal revolving cylinder and the case.
Also with an outer or external casing consisting of double passage way for
inlet and exhaust each way fitted with double ports for allowing the steam water
or air to be admitted and exhausted simultaneously on two (opposite) sliding
blades at one time.
The accompanying drawing is furnished in explanation of the construction of the
improved engine.
Figs. 1 and 2 are vertical sections of the engine, the other Figures represent
detached parts. Similar letters of reference are used to denote the corresponding
parts throughout. g is the external cylinder, the end plates g* of which furnish
bearings for the central shaft h, and i is the internal cylinder (shewn detached in
the sections, Figures 3 and 4), keyed on to the shaft h and turning therewith;
k is the annular space or pressure chamber between the two cylinders; o, o, are
two cams placed inside the outer cylinder (shewn detached in Figs. 5 and 6) for
forcing the four blades q, outwards and inwards, each twice during a complete
revolution of the inner cylinder in which they are free to slide in grooves x as
represented, and p is another cam (shewn detached in Fig. 7 and 8) for forcing
the blades each twice during a complete revolution outwards across the space k.
The cams pare stationary and are so shaped and placed as to perform their office
at the proper times, the cam p being supported by the shaft and its effective curved
parts p* lying within a recess ix (see Fig. 4) in the inner cylinder.
In Fig. 1-y, y, are studs fitting into the back and front cover g* of the outer

IMPROVEMENTS IN BOOTS AND SHOES
Year: 1884

page_text: We DAVID HOLLIN and ZACHARIAH ANDERSON of N° 62 Rowley Street Stafford
in the County of Stafford, Boot Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of
our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOOTS AND SHOES" to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, as follows:-
Our Invention has for its object Improvements in Boots and Shoes" by which
a more perfect fit combined with much greater ease and comfort is obtained and a
neat and dressed appearance is given to boot and shoe; Great support is also
afforded to the ankles by our invention, by giving the necessary stiffness at the
right position or otherwise by avoiding cutting the leather away at the wrong part
of such boots.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood and carried into
practice with greater ease I have appended hereunto a sheet of Drawings, on which
letters of reference are marked.
Fig 1. is a front view of a double buttoned boot and
Fig 2. is a side view of the same boot.
In manufacturing boots according to our invention we generally leave the
uppers solid around the ankles to give support to those parts and we insert in the
uppers or uppers and fronts on either side of the boot above the galoche and below
the buttons or laces a gusset or elastic spring A and A¹ which generally extend
from the joints to the instep similar to the example shown in the Drawings which
will readily allow the boot to adapt itself to the varying form of the foot in
different positions. It will also assist in giving the required fit to the width of
joint or instep as well as being of value in cases of misfits. These boots made
according to our invention are secured to the feet by means of either buttons laces
or other suitable means, In the case of buttoned boots the button holes may be
made on each side of the flap B or on one side only. The buttons in the example
shown are secured on the corresponding back portion C of the uppers. By this
arrangement a very neat and yet elegant appearance is given to the boot and the
unsightliness of the button tabs to some extent removed. Our invention miminizes
the inconvenience experienced by the bottom of ladies dresses catching in the
buttons also gentlemens trousers, as is often the case with the present arrangement
of buttoned boots.

page_text: .It will be clearly understood from the example shewn upon the drawings that
the invention, is also applicable to shoes as the invention effects the lower part of
the foot most.
Having therefore now described the nature of my said invention of Improvements
in boots and shoes we would have it clearly understood that we do not confine
ourselves to the exact position of the spring or to the exact shape shown or to
button boots or shoes as it is equally applicable to laced and other fastened boots
and shoes, but what we claim is,
The insertion of a spring gussett or gussetts in the side or sides of the front of
boots and shoes extending from the joint or joints to the instep or thereabouts
substantially as herein set forth.

County of York, Engine Driver, WILLIAM Moss of 18 Croton Place, Armley,
Leeds aforesaid, Engine Driver and JOHN DARWIN of 31 Wellington Road New
Wortley aforesaid, Engine Driver do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOOT-TOE PROTECTORS" 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 reference to the employment of a cap or plate for fixing on
to the toe of a boot or shoe.
We are aware that toe caps have been in use for some time, but they were so
made and constructed, that they could only be attached to the boot during the
time it was being made, and when such toe cap wore away, another one could not
be put in its place.
By our construction of cap, we are enabled to fix the cap on to the boot toe,
after the boot is manufactured, and when one cap is worn away, another can be
easily substituted.
Such being the nature of our Invention we will now proceed to describe the
same more fully, and in order that it may be better understood, we annex the
accompanying 'sheet of drawings, wherein A illustrates, our toe cap, shield or
protector.
The various drawings illustrate the cap in section and elevation..
...It will be observed that these caps are so formed that the upper portion, covers
the boot toe, whilst the lower portion is made to fit the sole of the boot toe,,to
which it is attached by nails or screws, B.
+
The caps are preferably composed of sheet metal and are formed by punching
them, with stamps and dies, as will be well understood. The caps however may be
cast, and, if so, prongs or nails may be cast to them, in which case detached. nails or
screws would not be necessary.
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
"
21.
The use and employment of the boot toe caps A formed and constructed in
manner substantially as herein shewn and described.
IMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVING AND PRODUCING PATTERNS IN CLOTH

IMPROVEMENTS IN TYPE MARKERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES STAFFORD RANSOME, of 304 King's Road, in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN TYPE MARKERS" to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved form of type marker which shall be portable
and self contained as to the inking pad, and which is capable of immediato
employment. It is of the following nature..
1
Into a well, at the bottom whereof is the ink pad, drops the type or design which
it is desired to impress. The type is preferably a close fit to the walls of the well,
o that they may serve as a support to the material to be impressed.
The device is operated by a spring of suitable form carrying on one arm the said
type and on the other the pad. A suitable form is that known as "inverted
forceps," which normally holds the type down in the well, and, on pressure of the
ears of the spring, would open, allowing the paper or other material to be marked
to be inserted between the stamp and the top of the well. On pressure being
released the type would make its impression, and the well being deep and its orifice
small, the necessary resistance would be afforded for the pressure of the type and
the underside of the material would not reach the ink pad, and would not therefore
be soiled.
Again, the spring may be a clip, tong, or other spring, normally holding the type
away from the rubber, the pressure to ink and stamp being applied manually, or
it may be a tong or clip spring normally holding it down upon the pad as in the
first instance, and provided with ears at the back to operate in the same manner as
the inverted forceps.
Where the material to be marked is thin, or the orifice of the well large, and risk
would exist that it might be forced down the well on to the pad and soiled, I may
construct the walls of my well in such a manner as to close on pressure, or fit a
lid to close over to afford the necessary resistance for the stamping; but I prefer to
adhere to the simpler construction specified, and to simply hold the material
stretched across the orifice when additional resistance is requisite.

I, ARTHUR ERNEST EDWARDS, clerk to Messrs. Edwards and Co.:-Patent
Agents and Engineers, of 35 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of the invention for "AN
IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING ADVERTISEMENTS, AND SERVING AS A
MEDIUM FOR WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE" and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The improved apparatus which is the subject of this invention has for its object
a double purpose:first, a convenient frame or support serving as a means for
displaying public advertisements or announcements; and second, the combination
with such frame or support of a device containing one or more tablets upon which
messages or other correspondence may be written and utilized as hereinafter
described.
-
The apparatus is intended to be used in Hotels and other public places and
advertisement stations, and consists of an open frame, of any convenient form and
material, upon which are placed any advertisements, notices, or announcements,
which it is desired to make as public as possible, whilst the interior of the frame
forms a receptacle in which is fitted so as to be readily accessible a tablet of slate
or other suitable surface upon which any message can be readily written or
erased. By this method of construction and arrangement, any desired message or
information can be communicated to a correspondent absent at the time, such for
instance as fixing the time for meeting, notice of the writer's arrival, or other
information, which will be read by the person for whom it is intended on his
subsequent arrival. It will be obvious that both the person writing and the
person reading the message will have strong inducements to notice and read the
advertisements or announcements in the frame by the slate.
It will be understood that the frame described may be varied in its shape and
dimensions as desired. The advertisements or notices upon it may be upon any
suitable material, such as enamelled porcelain, painted wood, or other substance,
and they may be fixed upon one or both sides of the frame; and they may if
preferred be covered with glass or other protecting material.

page_text: The slate or other object placed inside the frame as described may be fixed or
moveable.
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 combination of the frame carrying advertisements .or notices, with the
interior receptacle containing the writing tablet, substantially as and for the
purpose described.
IMPROVEMENTS IN BODY BELTS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN HENRY BRIERLEY of No 58 Aldermanbury in the City of London and
County of Middlesex, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN BODY BELTS to be as follows:→
-
This Invention refers mainly to the Elastic sides Body Belt, and consists of using
Elastic Straps of about the usual length, in place of Leather or Web and also using
Elastic Buckle Straps (I.E. the portion to which the Buckle is attached) in place of
Web or Leather only in this instance the strap is some four or five times the usual
length in order to give the greater elasticity, these straps are held in their places by
cross bars of any suitable material, so as to retain in their proper places.
more
The Elasticity is thus taken away from the sides and placed where it
desirable. Elastic Web being very porus it has in its new position a lining as
warm and durable as any other portion of the Belt giving greater warmtb where
warmth is most needed, namely at the sides.

page_text: I, JOHN HENRY BRIERLEY of 58 Aldermanbury in the City of London in the
County of Middlesex Manufacturer do hereby declare the. nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN BODY-BELTS and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention refers mainly to the Belts called "Elastic-side Body-Belts" and
consists of using elastic straps of about the usual length in place of leather or web,
and also using elastic buckle-straps (I.E. the piece to which the buckle is attached)
in place of web or leather, only in this instance the strap is some four or five times
the usual length, in order to give the greater elasticity; these straps are held in
their places by cross-bars of any suitable material so as to retain them in their
proper position; the elasticity is thus taken away from the sides of the belt, and
placed in a more desirable position. Elastic-web being porous it has in its new
position a lining which causes the sides of the belt to be as durable, and to give
equal warmtli as in any other.
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:
1st Making use of elastic in place of web or leather straps, as shewn in elastic
web A.
2. Making use of elastic four or five times the usual length in connection with
the buckle, in place of leather or web, as shewn in elastic B.
3. Retaining the clastic in its present position by means of cross-bars, as shewn
cross-bars C.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CORSETS
Year: 1884

page_text: I ADOLPH OTTENHEIMER of Stuttgart in the Kingdom of Württemberg
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CORSETS" and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The aim of this Invention is to obviate the objection against the present style of
woven corsets in so far as they prevent free perspiration.
Instead of the closely woven tissue now in general use, I adopt a texture
consisting in alternate parallel narrow bands or strips. The bands or strips are in
part closely woven and in part made in the form of a network and perforated with
holes either in single or double rows according to the make of the corset and the
manner of putting in the whalebone.
When compared with all other styles of woven corsets now in use this new style,
as shown in the accompanying Drawing, offers the advantage that it does not
impede perspiration and that it allows free escape for the exhalation of the pores.
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 woven corset the texture of which consists in part of closely woven and in
part of perforated woven strips arranged in alternate parallel narrow bands or
strips substantially as described the object being to facilitate the escape of the
exhalation of the pores.

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 improvements in mowing machines.
In grass mowing machines it frequently happens that the dividing shoe collects
soft grassy matter under the knife causing the cut to be defective and to remedy
this 1 form an aperture immediately under the knife bar out of which these soft
grassy matters are brushed by the onward motion of the machine.
These improvements in grass mowing machines are clearly shown in the
annexed drawings. Figures 1 and 2 shew plan and elevation of the grass mower
shoe used at present Figure 1 being an elevation while Figure 2 shows the shoe
in plan and a portion of the finger bar with two fingers B¹, B¹. Figures 3 and 4
shew a similar plan and elevation of my improved grass mower shoe. A is the
shoe B is the finger bar to which it is bolted C is the slot in which the knife runs.
D is a steel lining rivetted on the bottom of the shoe over which the knife cuts.
The drawing represents at E in Figures 1 and soft grassy matter collected
on the steel lining D as frequently happens, preventing the knife coming in contact
with the steel lining D and thus rendering the cut defective.
In order to obviate this I make my improved shoe with an opening under the
knife bar shewn at F, Figures 3 and 4 this prevents the collection of soft grassy
matters as shewn at E in Figures 1 and 2 for during the onward motion, of the
machine the stubble G, Figure 3 of the grass constantly brushes away these
matters and keeps the steel lining D always cloar-thus rendering the cut much
more clean and effective. As making this opening in the bottom of the shoe tends
to weaken it I make the top part of it stronger between the letters a¹ and a³ in
Figure 3.
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 grass mower shoe with an aperture in the lower part admitting of soft grassy
matters being brushed off in the onward motion of the machine substantially as
described.

page_text: I, HENRY FOSTER Watchmaker & Jeweller 74 High Street Ashford Kent do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS, OR
SUPPORTS FOR CUT FLOWERS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
It consists of a conbination of two concentric tubes, the inner of which is open
at the ends and contains a moveable wire support (A) for the stems of the flowers
It also has an attachment for holding a card (B) showing the name of the flower,
so that the flower with its support and name may be moved together.
The moveable wire support (A) is made with one piece of wire in the following
:manner
A loop is formed at the top, to put round the neck of the flower, for the flower
to rest upon, also a loop (D) is formed below the middle to hold the stem of the
flower. At the bottom a coil spring is formed for pressing the end of the wire,
against the inside of the tube, this part is bent up from the spring, the end being
shaped to fit the inside of the tube, which holds the wire support firm and can be
raised or lowered to set the flower at any height required.
A small wire (C) is wound round the main wire support, from top to bottom,
with both ends free to secure the stem of the flower to the main wire support.
The wire attachment to the inner tube is for holding a card showing the name
of the flower, so that the flower with its name, may be moved together, is made ns
follows;
One end of the wire is shaped to fit part round the top cup of the tube, and
soldered on, at the other end a double coil (B) is formed to hold the card.
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 (as shown in the drawing) a moveable wire support (A) with or without
the small wire (C).
Also the wire attachment to the inner tube is for holding a card (B) showing
the name of the flower so that the flower with its support and name may be moved
together.
IMPROVEMENTS IN GIRDERS FOR FIRE PROOF STRUCTURES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY LINDSAY of 1+ Wharf, South Paddington Basin in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN GIRDERS FOR FIRE PROOF STRUCTURES" 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 improvements in girders for fire proof
structures.
In large fires it has often been found that the walls or floors of so called fire
proof structures have failed owing to the bottom of the girders which are usually
exposed becoming hot and giving way.
The object of my Invention is to protect the girder so that it cannot become
heated even in the case of a severe fire.
The drawing shews a transverse section of a girder constructed according to
my invention and suitable for carrying the brick arches forming a fireproof floor.
A is an iron or steel beam of an ordinary section; it is bolted at its bottom
to an iron or steel trough B.
C is a thin plate bolted to the bottom of the trough B; the space between the
two is filled with some fire-proof composition such as asbestos, fire clay, saw dust
impregnated in alum or the like.
DD are the brick arches which spring from the sides of the trough B, the floor
is filled in with concrete to the top of the beam A in the ordinary manner.
It will be observed that in case of fire hardly any of the surface of this girder
will be exposed to heat either above or below. The bottom of the girder is
therefore little likely to get sufficiently hot to become soft and so let down the
floor as frequently happens when the bottom of the girder is exposed.
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 girder in which the bottom is formed of a trough which is filled in with fire
proof composition substantially as described.
