Asbestos Sock or Lining for Boots, Shoes, or Slippers.
I, HENRY BINGHAM of Freshfield near Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Commission Agent, 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 a damp-proof sock or lining for the soles of boots,
shoes or other foot coverings.
The sock, of any suitable shape, thickness or size, formed wholly or mainly of
asbestos in one or more layers or thicknesses. The layer (or layers) may be cut out
of a sheet of asbestos pulp, paper or "board," or out of woven or knitted asbestos
cloth, or each sole (or layer) may be cut out or woven, or knitted separately, either
by hand or by machinery. The asbestos may be comparatively pure, or it may be
mixed, as is usually the case in asbestos paper, board, yarn, etcetera, with other
fibrous material.
If found desirable, the asbestos may also be impregnated with any suitable damp-
proof solution or with salicylic or other acids, or one or both of the surfaces of the
sock may be coated with a damp-proof solution or material.
To render the sock warmer and more comfortable to the foot, its inner surface may
be furnished with a layer of flannel, cloth, cork or other suitable absorptive or fibrous
material or otherwise, which is a non-conductor of heat, and such layer may be
stitched or otherwise secured to the asbestos.
The sock may, if desired, be perforated to ensure better ventilation, and it may be
either fixed permanently in the boot or other foot covering, or it may be loose
therein.
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 a new article of manufacture, a sock for boots, shoes or the like, composed of
pure or commercial asbestos, either alone or in combination with other materials,
substantially as and for the purpose described.

and the projecting heads of the rivets also forming abrasion surfaces afford a
protection to the bottom of the travelling bag and at the same time support and
thus strengthen the frame of the bag.
Although I have only described and illustrated my invention as applied to a
Gladstone bag it will be obvious that it is equally applicable to other travelling
bags with hinged joints.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The improved construction of metal shoe plates for travelling bags substantially as
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Fastening for Ladies' Habit Skirts or for any other
Purpose where a Fastening is Required to Release at a Given
Strain.
I, HENRY NICOLL of 45 Warwick Street, Golden Square, in the County of
Middlesex, Outfitter 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 fastening for Habit Skirts or for other purposes where a
fastening is required to release at a given strain.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. I shows an eye to be used with the fastener
Fig. II.
The eye is made as shown in the drawing and at the point A is thinned and
flattened out. The fastener is made as shown in the drawing, of steel wire, and
the two points are always in opposition.
It will be seen from the drawing that the points of the fastener Fig. II will readily
open and slip over the eye Fig. I where it is thinned at the part A", thus forming
the fastening. When sufficient strain is put on to release the fastening the points
must open so as to slip over the full size of the wire from which the eve is made.
The strain at which the fastening will release is regulated by the thickness of the
wire from which the eye and fastoner is made.
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
1. The manufacture and use of the improved fastener for Habit Skirts or other
purposes as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

An Improvement in Footway Kerbs with Conduits for Electrical
Conductors.
I, ARTHUR VENTRIS, of No. 5 Tavistock Street, Strand, in the County of London,
Civil 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 :-
As the kerbs of footways are usually made and placed they are liable to be displaced
or canted by the swelling of the street paving, and they are generally of such width
that a conduit for electrical conductors cannot be placed behind the kerb without
trenching too far on the substructure of the footway. My invention relates to a form
and arrangement of the kerb and conduit such that the kerb is supported against the
strain of the roadway and that the conduit is accommodated behind the kerb without
trenching on the footway farther than a kerb of ordinary width. The accompanying
drawings shew a kerb and conduit according to my invention. Fig. 1 is a plan with
part of the footway paving removed to shew the conduit below; Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are
part transverse sections respectively on the line X Y and Z of Fig. 1.
Pis the footway paving and W the paving of the roadway. Between these I fix a
kerb A narrower and deeper than the ordinary korb, the outlines of which and of its
concrete bed are indicated by dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 3. I place this deep and
narrow kerb along with the conduit (for electrical wires on a concrete bed B.
Where a junction D of the conduit occurs I form a hollow in the kerb as shewn in
Fig. 3, and in like manner where a junction box E occurs I thin the kerb to give room
for it as shewn in Fig. 4.
The deep kerb A extending down more than the whole depth of the road paving
and backed by the concrete B, the conduit C and the substructure of the footway
paving P, is fitted to withstand the thrust of the road paving W which acts directly
against its face, and is not liable to be canted, as the ordinary kerb often is, by the
strain acting against only the lower part of its face.
narrower room is given behind it for the conduit C without trespassing farther on the
Also by making the kerb
footway or its substructure than the ordinary wide and comparatively shallow kerb.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
ion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
laim is :-
The combination of a deep and narrow footway kerb with a conduit for electrical
onductors, bedded together on concrete, substantially as and for the purposes set
orth.

To provide a spring cushion, direct on to the worm of a wormwheel steering gear.
On the rudder head is secured an ordinary worm wheel, driven by a worm, with its
spring cushion constructed, as follows.
I arrange one or more spiral, helical, or laminated springs on a frame which carries
the screw or worm, this screw is driven by feathers off the shaft, and is capable of
sliding laterally thereon. At each end of the screw is a collar which bears against the
above frame, so that when a sea hits the rudder, the teeth of the worm wheel cause
the worm to slide on the shaft, theroby bringing the springs into action. The frame
is arranged so that both port und starboard strains are received by the springs in
compression.

I JAMES FRANOIS RYAN of 4 Richmond Crescent Antrim Road Belfast Co. of
Antrim 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 :-
Referring to the accompanying drawings. On the rudder head is secured a quadrant
with a toothed rim A gearing into a worm or screw B, this screw is fitted on a long
sleeve C, which can slide on the shaft D, said shaft having long keys so as to drive
screw at any point of this sliding movement.
This sleeve C has flanges or collars E at each end bearing against the brackets F,
these brackets carry the sleeve C in bearings, and also the spiral springs H, and
are themselves carried by the bolts K along which they can slide, these bolts hold
together in position the standards L which are secured to deck.
The action of the gear is as follows, when a sea hits the rudder on either port or
starboard side the toothed quadrant causes the screw to slide on the shaft, the collar E,
bearing against the bracket F compresses the springs until their resistance equals the
strain. Rubber buffers M are provided to prevent any noise.
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 novelty of the arrangement of a frame fitted with spiral, helical, volute or
rubber springs on the shaft of a worm or screw, so as to receive direct, the strains or
thrusts from either end due to the direction of its drive, by the compression of the
same springs, substantially as before mentioned, described and illustrated on accom-
panying drawings.

Horses and other Animals.
I, THOMAS WAINWRIGHT, of 18 Primrose Lane, Moorside, Hunslet Near Leeds in
the County of York 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 my invention is to construct apparatus whereby the reins when driving
or riding may be held so as to have more perfect control of the animal ridden or
driven.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a Front Elevation. Fig. 2 a Side
Elevation of apparatus applied to short reins for riding purposes. Fig. 3 is a Front
Elevation. Fig. 4 a Side Elevation of my apparatus as applied to long reins for
carriage driving. Figs. 5 and 6 shews the application of my improvements for riding
and driving.
For the above purpose I employ a handle A or handle B both of which are secured
to the reins by means of steel rods or pins C or D these rods or pins being
passed through perforations E or F in the reins and securely held in position by
knobs G or H, one of each of which may be fast on the ends of the pins and the
other screwed thereon, whereby the handles can be held tightly between the reins.
Fig. 5 shews the mode of using the apparatus when riding, and dispenses with the
difficulty of controling the animal with one hand so nessessary for cavalry soldiers
and so difficult for them to become perfect in. At Fig. 5 is shewn the apparatus in
use in carriage driving and by this arrangement the driver has great control over
the animal and the danger of the slipping of reins which has been so frequently
the cause of serious accidents is entirely obviated.
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 arrangement, construction and application of handles A and B for obtaining
a better hold of reins for the purpose of guiding and checking the movement of
horses and other animals substantially as set forth.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to caps and consists in an improved cap suitable more
especially for the use of cooks, confectioners, bakers and others engaged in similar
pursuits.
The object of the invention is to simplify the manufacture and to produce a cap
which shall be more easily washed and ironed and of better appearance than the caps
in use up to the present and capable of being packed flat without crumpling.
The improved cap is constructed as follows. A band of linen, calico or other
material, of one or more folds is made of a suitable breadth which shall be the depth
of the cap, and of a length sufficient to encircle the head and slightly overlap. The
one end of the band is provided with buttons, the other with button-holes therefore, or
with equivalent means of fastening these being so placed that when fastened the hand
shall be of the proper size to fit the head.
Along the upper edge of the said band is a length of material the outer edge of
which is hemmed, and a cord is run through said hem. The length of this piece of
material is the same as and coincide with that of the band the breadth is equal
approximately to half the diameter of the cap when made up ready for use.
The ends of the cord will be provided with suitable tassels or the like. The edges
of the parts herein before mentioned will according to the most convenient method of
construction be turned and sewn or hemmed in the usual manner in needlework.

I, JOHN HOGBEN WEIGHT, of 25 Penn Road, Holloway, in the county of London,
Cashier, 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 toilet and similar paper and to an improved method of
advertising thereon, and has for its object to provide means for producing visible
designs or marks upon such paper without the necessity for using what is ordinarily
known as printers' ink, which frequently has an injurious effect upon the health of
persons using paper printed therewith.
According to my invention I produce the marks or designs upon the paper by
means of a medicated or disinfecting composition of which oil is the essential part,
which composition has the effect of rendering the part of the paper to which it is
applied transparent. In practice I find it advantageous to employ a composition
consisting of say, pure olive oil 50 parts, eucalyptus oil 15 parts, and solution of
gum arabic 35 parts which composition not only has no injurious effect upon the user
but exercises a beneficial action, but I wish it to be understood that I may vary the
proportions above named and that I may employ any suitable medicating material
instead of, or in combination with, eucalyptus oil.
Before applying this composition I preferably treat the paper with Sanitas or other
disinfectant, or the disinfectant may be introduced into the composition.
To produce the design the ground may be rendered transparent leaving the design
in the natural colour of the paper or the ground may be in its natural condition and
the design transparent.
The composition is preferably applied by means of india-rubber type or blocks but
it may be applied in any other convenient manner.

I, ALEXANDER WARREN HIDDEN of 19 Custom House Street, Galata, Constantinople,
Turkey, Mechanic 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 :-
On a piece of boxwood 1, two inches (2 in.) square, and three eighths (in.) thick,
I place a small piece of sheet brass 2, of one inch (1 in.) square, and one eigth
(in.) thick. Upon the center of the piece of sheet brass 2, I attach a hollow
sphere 3, made of very thin brass, or other metal, of one inch (1 in.) diam. On the
hollow sphere 3, I attach a curved flat tube 4, of one quarter ( in.) wide, and one
sixteenth (1 in.) thick, of an inch (1 in.) radius, to the other end of the same flat
tube 4, before mentioned 1 join a lever 6.1
The lever 6, is carried upon a small bracket 5, that is fixed upon the same piece of
boxwood 1, carrying the apparatus, the leverage being as one to three. Close by
the longer end of lever 6, I place a small piece of steel wire 7, bent to an S form,
and attached to the same piece of boxwood by a small screw 8, at the end of one of its
curves. From the srew that fixes the S curve, I attach a small wire to the positive P,
pole of a battery, from the other negative pole N, 1 attach a small piece of copper
wire O, which I attach to the small piece of sheet brass carrying the sphere 3.
Behind the square piece of boxwood 1, and central with the sphere, I make two small
apertures, one is served for filling the sphere 3, either with spirits of wine or other
suitable liquid, and the other to let the air out of the sphere 3, which after being filled
are well fastened. In charging the instrument it must be turned with the face
downwards and completely filled, when it is sealed or otherwise fastened, then the
instrument is ready for action.
On the least amount of heat applied near the apparatus it causes the spirits of wine,
or other liquid used, to expand thereby having attendancy to streighten out the
curved flat tube 4, thereby giving action to the lever 6, and bringing the longer end
of the same in contact with the S, curve that is connected to the positive pole P, that
is attached to the battery, to which battery there is connected an electrict bell thereby
giving instant alarmı.
This Fire Alarm can be placed one in each room, or corridor.
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 I claim is,
That I believe myself to be the only true inventor of an improved fire alarm as
herein described.

and s².
The line s¹ is fastened to the ring r and passes through the perforation d¹ of the
block g to the eye o of the hook h. The line s² leads from the ring r, through the
perforation d² of the block g to the eye o¹ provided on the bend of the hook, and is
provided over and under the block g with knots n¹ and n², so that the block is held
between the knots n¹ and n². The line itself is either fastened to the sportsmans
belt G by the clasp K or to his game bag, as convenient; and the hook his hooked
on the ring attached to the dogs collar, H, the end of the hook h is made pliable
like a spring, and the ring can only come out when the end e is pressed away from
the body of the hook h.
When it is required by means of this contrivance to loose a dog held by a
sportsman, the block 9 has only to be taken hold of with the hand and to be drawn
up the line s', as shown in Figure 3; in this manner the opening of the hook his
turned downwards, so that the ring r is drawn out of the hook h in consequence of
the tugging of the dog. When the dog returns, it is only necessary to enter the
hook into the ring at the end e, so that the dog, by tugging, again pulls the
ring back into the hook, in the manner described, and shown in the drawings.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. A dog slip, comprising the lines ¹, 3; a hook h, with eyes c, o¹ ; and a
block g; arranged, constructed, and operating as herein described, for the purposes set
forth.
Second. The dog slip, substantially as herein set forth, and illustrated with reference
to the drawings hereto annexed.

Improvements in Boots and Shoes.
I, CHARLES DE NOTTBECK of Tammerfors, Finland, 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 has for its object improvements in boots and shoes, it consists in
applying to them a special arrangement which prevents shocks and makes walking
more agreable. For this purpose I employ a spiral spring of any suitable shape,
and fix it on the inner side of the heel of the boot. Upon this spring I place a thin
metallic half-sole, one of the ends of which is attached to the sole of the boot and
the other is supported by the spring. I then cover the metallic half sole with an inner
leather sole.
The accompanying drawings shows my invention applied to a heeled boot and to a
heelless slipper.
In figures 1-2 A is the heel of the boot upon which I attach by screws or other-
wise the spring B which has a play of from say 5 to 10 millimetres. Upon the
spring B I place the metallic half sole C, which is attached at e to the sole E in any
suitable manner.
At the other end this half sole is fixed at b to the spring. F is the
inner leather sole which covers the inside of the boot. Figure 1 shows the position of
the spring Band of the half sole C when the spring is not compressed by the weight
of the body. Figure 2 shews the spring compressed by the foot P.
In Figure 3 I have shown the same arrangement applied to a heelless slipper. In
this case the base of the spring B is sewn instead of being screwed to the sole E.
Figure 4 shews the same arrangement applied to a heeled boot as that which I have
shown in Figures 1-2, but instead of fixing the spring to the heel by means of a
screw or otherwise, I hollow the latter slightly so as to form a cavity in which the
spring is placed and by which it is kept in position. This arrangement allows the
metallic half sole U to bear directly against the heel when the spring B is compressed
by the foot P.
I may remark that my Invention may be usefully applied to all kinds of boots
without in any way changing the shape or modifying the heel.
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 I do not limit
myself to the details described and shown but may modify them as required, but
what I claim is :-
:-
1. The combination with any sort of boot or shoe of an arrangement of spring
placed on the inner part of the heel of the boot to avoid shock and make walking more
agreeable.
2. The arrangements as described and shown in the annexed drawing.

House Painter and Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to the fixing of hinged lids to or upon glass ink bottles
and as seen in side elevation at figure 1 and in plan at figure 2 of the annexed
drawings instead of hinging the lid to a metallic ring fastened on a neck around
the top of the bottle by cement stucco or the like as is usual the bottle has at one
side of the ordinary ink well A one or two vertical channels or holes B sunk in the
thickness of the glass.
Into each hole or channel a split or spring pin C is inserted the loop D formed by
the bend at the upper end of the pin having a leg E formed on the lid or cover F
inserted into it so that whilst the spring on the pin holds the cover in position the
loops D and legs E act as hinges on which the cover is raised and lowered from or
upon the upper end of the ink well A.
The Invention is also applicable to ink bottles made of materials other than
glass.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me,
I declare that what I claim is :-

Finished and other Textile Fabrics and Analagous Purposes.
I JAMES HENDERSON, Furnace Engineer, Station Lane Sandal Magna, Wakefield
and I ISAAC SIMONETT, Machine Maker, Quebec Works, Thornton Road, Bradford
do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED ROLLING MACHINE
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The addition of a counter shaft fit up with one fast and one loose sliding spur
wheel in groove upon said shaft, the counter shaft receives its motion from an
additional spur wheel fixed upon the cone speed driving part of the machine, and
another spur wheel fixed upon the sliding head of the machine. The motion thus
obtained is simultaneous at both ends of the machine and there is therefore no strain
or twist upon the board or roller used, and in consequence, the articles rolled in this
way are not creased and drawn in a diagonal manner as is often the case with existing
styles of rolling machines. The addition of a friction brake upon the shaft end
of the measuring drum to regulate the tension of the goods in the process of
rolling.

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
1st. That goods rolled by our Improved Rolling Machine are much more evenly
rolled, more free from creases and less liable to become unrigged.
2nd. That lighter or thinner boards may be used with less breakage and consequent
advantage to exporters.
3rd. That by the use of the drum brake, the required tension for rolling is
more readily obtained without checking the other rollers of the machine if found
desirable.
