An Improved Device for Suspending Venetian Blinds.
I, ROBERT MONRO, 105 Queens Road, Finsbury Park 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 relates to a novel device for suspending Venetian blinds in
position from the tops of window frames or the like, and has for its object to
provide means whereby such blinds can be readily suspended and as readily
removed from their supports, when occasion requires same.
And in order that this my invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings, wherein,
Fig. 1 is a front view of the suspending device,
Fig. 2 being an underside view thereof, while
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device shewn in actual use.
Referring to the drawings, I provide a bracket preferably formed of a narrow
strip of suitable metal bent at the upper portion a thereof, to conform to the shape
of the moulding or equivalent part of the top of the window frame or the like b,
such upper portion a having perforations to admit of the bracket being fixed to the
moulding by means of screws c or their equivalent.
The remainder of said bracket consists of a vertical portion a¹ and a horizontal
part a, to the extremity of which latter part, is hinged at a³, a plate at having a
slot a near its free end, through which slot as a projecting tongue or catch a
either fixed (as in Figs. 1 and 2) or pivoted (Fig. 3) is adapted to pass.
In operation, the devices are preferably used in pairs as shewn, and the hinged
extremity or plate a³ of each is turned down as in the right hand brackets in Figs. 1
and 2, the top slate of the blind then being laid upon the horizontal portion a²,
and the hinged plate a turned up on its hinge a³.
The projecting tongue or catch a is inserted through the slot a, and in the case
of such tongue or catch being hinged, turned to the position shewn in Fig. 2,
thereby securely maintaining the hinged plate at in position, so as to retain the top
slate of the blind within the bracket.
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 a device for suspending Venetian blinds, a hinged bracket adapted to
receive the top slat of the blind, substantially as described and illustrated.
2. In a device for suspending Venetian blinds a bracket adapted to be fixed to a
window frame moulding or its equivalent, and having a horizontal part to receive
the top slat of the blind, and a slotted hinged extremity capable of being locked in
a vertical position, substantially as specified, and as illustrated by the accom-
panying drawings.

FRANK CARTER 2 St. James's Street Brighton Tailor do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertain d in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved method of holding and adjusting false
cuffs, which can be regulated; so as to shew a large, or small, amount of cuff, below
the coat sleeve.
The invention consists of a spring clip, which can be opened by pressure of the
fingers one end being provided with teeth, or roughed, so that a better hold may
be obtained on the cuff, in the sleeve of coat, to prevent its slipping over the
hand or up the sleeve. To the underside or base of the spring clip fasten a
double pin preferably barbed at each end; so that the clip cannot be easily pulled
from sleeve when in use.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 shews a sleeve and cuff-a portion of the latter being removed so as to
show the adjustor A. in position.
Fig. 2 is a section of the clip.
Fig. 3 underside of clip showing barbed pin "B" and
Fig. a perspective view of the holder and adjustor.
In using the cut holder and adjustor it is only necessary to push the barbed
ends of the pin "B" Fig. 3 into the inside of coat sleeve near the seam, as shewn
in Fig. 1, then allow the false cuff to come below the sleeve to the required
distance press open the spring, and insert the edge of the cuff in the same.
It is
then impossible for the cuff to slip down over the band, thereby preventing
considerable annoyance and inconveniance, as at present experienced by wearing
false cuffs.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of the raid inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is,
An improved cuff holder & adjuster formed by the combination of a spring
clip & a fastener, both ends of which are preterably barbed or roughed, as set forth
in the Specification, & illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

deterinine and may be placed any distance apart as may be demanded by the
position or quantity of the foliage of the plant to be supported.
The mode of operation in using the improved plant support is to place one of
the upright rods A in the ground close to the plant more towards than from it and
to place the centre rod B about halfway round bringing the third rod C round to
the first cnc Figure 2 that is if the plant is a large and bushy one and requires
tbat amount of support, if the plant is a small one then the two ends may be
brought round so as to overlap each other Figure 1. The wires being arranged on
the rods to slide up or down may be placed any distance apart as the height of the
plant demands.
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
1. That it is a most important improvement on all existing methods of supporting

page_text: 3. That it will entirely supersede the old method of supporting plants with
sticks, doing away with the tying up and after the first outlay will be practically
cheaper and almost everlasting.

I, ALFRED CLARK, of Northern Works, Newark-on-Trent, in the County of
Nottingham, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
My improvements relate to what are called "ploughs" for turning over the
malt on malt house floors during manufacture, and consist in making the frame and
teeth of such ploughs of a bevelled section of steel or iron narrower in front than
behind.
I attach the frame to the draught handle with a pivot and a retaining quadrant,
so that the angle of the frame and the teeth on the floor may be readily varied
according to the thickness and the condition of the malt upon it. By these means
the draught of the plough is decreased, and the malt turned over in a better and
more effectual manner.

A communication to me from ANTON CHRISTIAN HAUNSTRUP, of K. Holbergs-
gade 4, Kopenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark, Manufacturer.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, 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 and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
This invention has for its object a novel method of constructing bedsteads, so
that the horizontal frame of the bedstead is firmly held together, and can be
securely fitted and attached to the ends of the bedstead, without (as has ordinarily
heretofore been the case) the necessity for bolts, screws, or the like, for the purpose
of fastening together the separate parts.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 illustrates the method of putting the invention in operation.
Figure 2 is a side view, and Figure 3 a plan, of a somewhat modified method of
construction.
The angle iron a at the end of the bedstead, and the angle iron b at the side, are
connected rigidly together by means of an angle piece or bracket f, in which a
conical or tapered recess is made having a lateral opening, so that it can be
readily fitted upon the corresponding conical or tapered bush and flange e fitted
upon the bed post c.
The bush and flange d and e may be made in one piece with the bedpost c, instead
of being separate and fitted upon the latter. The four corners of the bedstead
frame are each fitted with an angle piece or bracket f.
When the bedstead is to be put together, or erected, the horizontal frame is
guided in an inclined position upon the posts at one end of the bedstead, so that the
conical recesses g engage with them, and the frame is then brought down to a
horizontal position, the recesses fitting upon the posts or upon the conical bushes.
The other end of the bed frame is then fitted in the same way upon the posts or
bushes at the other end of the bedstead, and the latter then remains firmly and
solidly erected.
Instead of the arrangement shewn in Figure 1, the holding pins d, upon which
the sockets or the angle pieces fit, may be at the side of the bed posts as shewn in
Figures 2 and 3, the said pins d being in such case made as projections in the
form shewn.
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 bedsteads, the use of anglepieces with conical or tapered recesses g, at the
corners of the bedframe, fitting upon corresponding conical or tapered bushes, pins
or projections, attached to the bedposts c, so that the bedstead can be erected or
put together without the use of screws, bolts, or the like fastenings, the angle

Improvements in or connected with Building Blocks or Bricks.
I, VALDEMAR KJELDSEN, of Porz, in the German Empire, Cement Manu-
facturer, 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 the manufacture of building blocks from earth or
material which is more especially adapted for the manufacture of cement.
Blocks made of this cement material, and which for convenience of description
I term bricks although they are not burnt in the course of their manufacture, have
lacked strength and have not been proof against the effects of weather and other
external forces without the addition of special clay or other material, which the
manufacturer must obtain, probably from a distance or without the cement material
is finely ground firmly compressed and well dried. In either case, however,
considerable expense is incurred and provision has to be made for drying the
bricks.
The object of this invention is to manufacture good bricks without the necessity
of procuring special material or of specially treating the whole of the cement
material and I effect this by mixing with the raw cement material to be moulded
into bricks a proportion of the cement manufactured from the same material say
from three to five per cent.
In addition to the advantage thus obtained other important advantages result
from this admixture of finished cement to the raw cement material, for instance, the
drying process can be dispensed with (and therefore also the plant and attendance
required for the same) as the prepared bricks can be stored in the open air near
the cement furnaces and can remain there until required. Furthermore, the
workmen can be kept employed throughout the whole year as, at the time when no
cement is sold and the stock increases too rapidly, they can make bricks (storage
room for which can always be found) using the cement mills for working the raw
brick material.
The cost of the cement used in carrying out my invention is very slight compared
with the advantages obtained by my process as an addition of from 3 to 5 per cent.
of finished cement to the raw mass only means that from 3 to 5 per cent. of the
finished product has to undergo double treatment as regards pressing, burning and
grinding.
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 described improvements in the manufacture of bricks from cement material
consisting in adding to the cement material to be formed into bricks a suitable
quantity of cement manufactured from the said material as, and for the purposes,
hereinbefore described.

Fig. 3 an elevation of a modification.
Briefly stated my improved hat secure consists of two parts, a slotted hair pin
of peculiar construction and an elastic stiap engaging the slotted hau pun and adapted
to be secured to the hat.
The hau pin a, has a flattened head a', and a slotted prong a². The slot a³, of
prong a, extends preferably from a point near the tip of the prong to its root,
while the head a', is preferably left imperforate. The elastic stiap b, engages the
slot a³, and has a free play within the same. One stiap 13 secured by a suitable
fastener c, to cach side of a ladies hat A, beneath its lining.
In use the hat is placed upon the head, the pius a, are drawn down to distend the
elastic straps b, and are then pushed into the hair, when the straps b, will contract
and the hat will be securely pinned in place. Duing this operation the straps b,
will first engage the upper ends of the slots a³, and as the pins are pushed upwards
the straps will gradually pass into the lower ends of the slots. If the slots do
not enter the heads a', of the pins, the straps can not pass beyond the roots of the
prongs, and thus the pins may be ficely grasped without accidentally grasping the
straps b, or interfering with the coiffure, which is of particular importance during
the withdrawal of the pins.
In Fig. 3, I have illustrated a thicc or multiple pronged hat securer d, of which
the slotted central prong d, is longer than the outer plongs d³. The flattened
head, of this pin is also preferably imperforate, the slot d, of prong d', not
extending boyond the 100t of the prong. The advantage of this particular con-
struction is that the pin is symmetrical aud as the slot is within the center of the
pin, there is no tendency to tilt, as the pin is pushed home. Moreover this pin
obtains a very firm hold on the hau and consequently secures the hat in place in a
very effective manuer.
My improved hat secure may be easily manipulated, does not disfigure the
hair nor injure the hat and may be freely withdrawn without disairanging the
coiffure.
Having now particularly descubed 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 18.-
1. A hat secuier consisting of a hair pin having a slotted prong and of an elastic

Improved Absorbent Plugs for Tobacco Pipes and the like.
Year: 1895

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Absorbent Plugs for Tobacco Pipes and the like.
I, ARTHUR GERALD NICHOLS of 21, Mincing Lane, London E.C. 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 :-
My invention relates to improved absorbent plugs for use with tobacco pipes and
the like.
When a tobacco pipe has been in use for some time the nicotine which cannot all
be absorbed by the wood or other material of which the pipe and stem are composed
is apt to be drawn along the stem into the smoker's mouth by the draught and this
is very harmful and objectionable. In order to obviate this, various expedients have
been proposed, amongst others the use of plugs of meerschaum or other absorbent
clay placed in the bowl of the pipe. These devices however do not give entire
satisfaction the nicotine still having the tendency to run down the hole or holes in
the plugs.
According to my invention I provide a plug for the bowl of the pipe which
entirely prevents nicotine from entering the stem in sufficient quantity to give rise
to any annoyance. My improved absorbent plug is made of asbestos or like
material fire-proof and innocuous, felted or otherwise formed into sheets about
one-eighth of an inch in thickness and cut into the shape of a disc of a size to fit
the bowl of the pipe, the said dise has flutes or serrations or is otherwise formed
on its edges so as to permit of a free draught between the said edges and the inside
of the pipe bowl. Such discs can be punched out of a sheet of asbestos card of
suitable thickness. The disc is placed at the bottom of the bowl before filling the
pipe and I have found that a pipe full of tobacco can then be smoked through to the
end without even an old pipe becoming objectionably foul. Moreover the smoke being
drawn round the sides of the disc is rendered much cooler than it would be if
drawn through the centre which is the case with most of the plugs now in use.
My improved plugs may also be used with cigar and cigarette holders and I also
make plugs of cylindrical form having fluted or corrugated sides for use in
cigarettes. In this latter case the plugs are preferably of about three-eighths of
an inch long and are rolled up in the paper in one end thereof to form the
mouthpiece.
I do not confine myself to any particular shape of flutings or corrugations and in
some cases the plug is not fluted round its entire periphery but only for a portion
thereof.
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 absorbent plug consisting of a disc or cylinder of asbestos or the like
constructed substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

EDWARD MEREDITH GRIFFITHS Merchant 158 Queen Victoria Street
London E.C. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The pressing or stamping of the said elevator buckets from sheets or discs of
tin instead of pressing them from steel and tinning afterwards as heretofore.
The introduction of corrugations at intervals thereby stiffening considerably
the bucket and allowing of lighter gauges of metal to be used in their
manufacture.

I, EDWARD MEREDITH GRIFFITHS, of 158, Queen Victoria Street, in the
City and County of London, Merchant, do bereby 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 :-
Hitherto it has been customary to produce seamless elevator buckets or cans by
pressing, or stamping them from sheet steel and afterwards tinning them to prevent
oxidation. Elevator buckets or cans so produced although strong and durable and
otherwise well adapted for the uses to which they are put are somewhat expensive
to produce. It is the object of this invention to produce a seamless elevator bucket
or can which is strong, protected against oxidation, and more economical in first
cost while being as durable as elevator buckets or cans as heretofore made and used.
According to this invention 1 press or stamp the elevator bucket or can from
the material known as sheet tin, that is to say, thin plates of iron covered with tin,
and provide it with any suitable number of corrugations arranged longitudinally
or transversely in any convenient part of the body of the bucket or can as found
requisite.
By way of illustration I have shewn in the accompanying drawings an elevator
bucket made according to this invention provided with three transverse corruga-
tions A in the body C. Fig. 1 is a perspective view and Fig. 2 a plan. These
corrugations are produced by the punch and die in which the sheet tin is struck.
The ragged edge of the metal at the top of the bucket may be sheared off, or
the punch and die may be so made as to turn it over and bend it down to form a
bead or a border as shewn at B.
The seamless tin elevator buckets or cans so made are secured to the elevator
band in the ordinary 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.) A seamless elevator bucket or can having corrugations in its body and made
from sheet tin pressed or stamped in dies, substantially as described.

page_text: (2.) A seamless elevator bucket or can having corrugations in its body and a
turned over bead or border along the top edge, and made from sheet tin pressed or
stamped in dies, substantially as described.

JOHN DAVIES 57 Hartley Road Nottingham Mechanic do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Fixed to the frame of the machine, at each side, I have a bracket attached to
this bracket by studs or axels upon which they revolve, are two internal tooth
wheels one on each side of the machine fastened upon the internal tooth wheels are
the treadles.
Geared inside the internal wheels one in each, are two tooth wheels of a less
diameter than the internal wheels and fastened upon an axel the same axel upon
which the chain wheel is fastened this axel moveing in a suitable bearing. Thus
the internal tooth wheels getting their motion from the treadle geared into and
giving motion to the smaller wheels fastened upon the same axel as the chain
wheel and so giving motion to the chain wheel:

A New and Improved Gear for Cycles and the like.
JOHN DAVIES Hartley Road Nottingham 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 :-
This invention relates to gearing for bicycles and like vehicles and will be best
understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which :-
Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections of gearing constructed according to this
invention, the former taken on the line 1-1 of Figure 2, and the latter on the
line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Like letters represent like parts throughout the drawings.
To one end of crank axle 1 secure an internal tooth wheel and crank B and
J the internal tooth wheel gears into a small tooth wheel E which in conjunction
with a ring G is supported upon a ring of balls C.
The ring G also carrys the chain wheel, upon the ring of balls C is mounted the
ring G also supporting the spur pinion E and the chain wheel so as to rotate
freely thereon.
When the crank J is rotated the pinion E and chain wheel, will be rotated in
the same direction but faster, the ratio of the two velocities depending upon the
difference in the respective diameter of the wheel B and pinion E, which may be
alterd according to the gear required.
The slots H enable me to move the pinion in case of wear so preventing back
lash.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
In a gear for cycles and like vehicles the combination of the crank and an

page_text: internally toothed wheel secured to the crank axle gearing with a pinion E and
rotating freely upon a ring of balls G substantially as described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.

GEORGE LIEBERMANN, Cigarette Manufacturer, 76 Brunswick Buildings,
Goulston Street, Aldgate, E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The cigarette is attached to a short piece of cane as mouthpiece, which absorbes
the nicotine and has the advantage that all the tobacco can be consumed.
Dated this Fifth day of September 1895.
I, GEORGE LIEBERMANN, Cigarette Manufacturer, of 76 Brunswick Buildings,
Goulston Street, Aldgate, in the County 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:—
This invention relates more particularly to month-pieces for cigarettes.
Hitherto such mouth-pieces have been made of a tubular piece of paper or cherry-
wood, or of a short piece of solid cane covered on its entire length with the
cigarette paper.
In order to produce a better appearance and to obtain a better draught than is
the case with solid cane tips as described, I take a piece of Japanese cane having
the approximate diameter of the cigarette and cut it into short lengths after having
removed the core or formed an axial opening. The tubular cane tip thus formed
is covered with the cigarette paper for about half its length, while the other half
projects and presents the smooth and clean surface of the cane. The edge of the
cigarette paper may be provided on its inside with gum which adheres to the cane
and prevents the tip from accidentally coming off.
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 cigarette having a tubular tip or mouth piece of Japanese cane, which is
covered with the cigarette paper for a part of its length, while the rest projects
and presents the clean smooth surface of the cane, substantially as described.
