Improvements in the Ribbing Dial of Circular Knitting Machines.
I, JOHN CUNNINGHAM of 97 High Street Paisley, in the County of Renfrewshire,
Scotland retired shawl manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
Hitherto when forming circular ribbed web whenever it has been desired to pass
from one combination of for instance 1 and 1 rib to another of, for instance 2 and
2 rib, it has been necessary, in order to produce good work, to alter either the shape
or position of the ribbing cam.
The object of my invention is to produce with one and the same dial any desired
combination of ribbed web, such as, for instance, 1 & 1; 2 & 2; 2 & 3; 3 & 4;
or 4 & 6 and this without any change in the shape or position of the ribbing
cam.
I accomplish my object by making the parts of the ribbing dial, which are formed
between the grooves in which the dial needles work longer, so as to project out
beyond the outside circumference of the dial.

I, JOHN CUNNINGHAM of 31 Causeyside Street Paisley formerly of 97 High Street
Paisley in the county of Renfrewshire Scotland Shawl 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:-
By my invention I am able to make two or more adjacent ribbing needles knit a
much longer and fuller stitch than is possible with the ordinary dial and any desired
combination of cylinder and dial needles can be used without any change in the form
or position of the -ihhing com
Fig. 1. is a plan of my improved dial.
Fig. 2. is a cross section thro one of the needle grooves.
Fig. 3. is a cross section between two needle grooves.
Instead of making the posts a. a. (which are left between the needle grooves b. b.) to
terminate at the periphery c. c. c. of the dial 1 extend these posts beyond this periphery
by forming projections d. d. d.
By this arrangement whenever two or more ribbing needles are working in adjacent
grooves without a cylinder needle between them the yarn is drawn from one of these
ribbing needles to the next round the ends of the projections d. d. and a much longer
and fuller ribbing stitch is thus obtained than is possible with the ordinary dial.

AN IMPROVED BROOCH PIN OR TONGUE to be as follows:-
It consists of one or more coils or loops made in an ordinary Brooch pin or
tongue close to the joint of the said Brooch pin or tongue the loop or coil (or loops
or coils) forms the spring which keeps the pin or tongue in its place against the
Brooch catch and gives increased flexibility to the pin or tongue, that I consider
novel and original and therefore claim as my Invention is the loop or coil (or loops
or coils) formed in the pin or tongue close to and in front of the joint.

WILLIAM THOMPSON CHAFER Watch naker & Jeweller 52 Market Place, Doncaster
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 :-
It consists of one or more coils or loops being made in and of an ordinary
brooch pin or tongue near to the joint of said brooch pin or tongue the coil or
loop (or coils or loops) are formed by bending the pin down near to the joint
end of brooch pin and continuing to bend the said brooch pin or tongue completely
round thus forming a coil or loop close to and in front of the pin joint as shown in
the accompanying drawings: Fig. 1 shows the pin viewed from underneath Fig. 2 shows
the pin viewed from the top. Fig. 3 shows the side view of pin. The coils may be
made any suitable size for the different sized pin or tongue required, but in practice
I prefer to make the internal diameter from about 16 to of an inch, when the pin
is engaged in the catch of brooch when in position the bottom edge of coil. Fig.
letter "A presses against the back of brooch. When the pin or tongue is pressed
down to fasten in catch, the coil gives an elastic spring to the pin or tongue and thus
keeps the pin or tongue securely in its place against the catch of brooch.
"
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 loop or coil (or loops or coils) formed.in and of the brooch pin or tongue near to
and in front of the joint of said brooch pin or tongue, the loop or coil (or loops or
coils) giving to the pin or tongue a more elastic spring than in the old method and
preventing to a very great extent the pin or tongue breaking close to the joint.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Coats and similar Garments.
I, Moss MOSELY, of 63, Foxberry Road, Brockley, in the county of Kent do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to manufacturing coats and like garments practically
without seam and is specially applicable to the manufacture of waterproof coats.
Hitherto in the manufacture of such garments it has been impossible to produce a
perfectly durable waterproof coat, because owing to defects of manufacture or other-
wise sooner or later the wet percolates through the seams on the shoulders, or the
seams where the sleeves are joined to the garment or down the back seam when there
is a back seam.
According to my invention these defects are obviated by manufacturing the
garments from one piece that is to say by cutting the material from which the coat is
to be formed in one piece and of such a shape that when made up the only seams will
be one on the underside of each sleeve and one across the breast.
For this purpose I cut the material to the pattern shewn in the accompanying
drawing.

& Biscuit Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of an admixture of raw or dried either whole or ground germ
of wheat or other grain with already fermented dough, sponge, or ferment, to make
either white or brown bread biscuits of a more digestive and nutritious description
than that in use at present, also brown or white unfermented bread either raised with

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Bread, Cakes, and Biscuits.
I, ROBERT WILLIAM PENROSE of 57 Aubert Park Highbury London Baker, 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 an improved method of making bread, cakes and biscuits,
which will very materially increase the nutricious and digestive properties of these
articles of food by adding natural phosphates albuminoids and other valuable properties
contained in the wheat germ.
In carrying out my invention I take dough or batter which is in a state ready for
baking and work into it a quantity of whole or ground germ equal to about 15 per
cent. in its raw or unchanged state, or after being dried at a temperature below
200 degrees Far. so that the diastase remains unaltered this immediately after mixing
is moulded or stamped into shape and having been rolled in or dusted with the whole
germ is put in closed tins or exposed in the ordinary way in an oven heated to about
500 deg. F.
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 manufacture of bread cakes and biscuits in the manner hereinbefore, described
and containing a larger percentage of natural unaltered germ that would be otherwise
possible without rendering the bread cakes and biscuits stickey and sad through the
action of the diastase on the flour whilst in the dough stage.

A New or Improved Device for Storing Twine, String, or Cord
for Handy Purposes.
We, FREDERICK HENRY KERRY and ARTHUR BROWNRIDGE KERRY, Grocers, of
20 Bellevue Road Wandsworth Common in the County of Surrey, 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 store twine, string or cord such as used at a
counter or otherwise, whereby it is always ready for use, whilst at the same time being
out of the way. For this purpose an oblong shaped box is employed, which is stored
preferably on end, and one side of which is made to open as a door, so as to place inside
the supply of twine, or string to the number of twelve or more balls. These balls
are placed one above another, and each ball is connected to the ball below by the end
of the string forming it being joined to the end of the string of the next one, so that
while each ball is actually used separately they are virtually all in one piece. The balls are
hold in position in the box by being cased in laths, forming a separate frame, which can
be removed from the box, so that as soon as one set of balls is used up, another set
can be easily put in the box. The end of the string forming the top ball is stiffened
or bristled, and the point passed through a hole formed in the head of the box, when
it is ready for immediate use. The head of the box may be supplied with a regulator
to prevent the string coming out too fast, and which at the same time should there be
a knot in the string permits it to be pulled through with a slight tug, without delay or
hindrance.
In the annexed drawings A is the box and B are the balls of string carried or
stored therein, C is a frame of longitudinal laths connected at their ends by pieces C₁
and forming a cage or receptacle for carrying and holding the balls of string in
position. A is a cover or door hinged to the box, which upon the frame centaining
the balls of string being placed in the box is shut and secured. Fig. 2, shows a
plan of the top of the box, furnished with a string regulator, which may consist of a
radially cut piece of india rubber, D through the centre of which the string passes,
or a nipple may be used for the regulator. Fig. 3, is a transverse section of Fig. 1,
showing the cover or door closed.
The advantages of this invention are, that there is no tapping of balls, no entangle-
ment, no waste and readiness for use.
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,
The new or improved device for storing twine string or cord for handy purposes,
arranged constructed and operating substantially as and for the purpose described, and
shewn in the drawings hereunto annexed.

Improvements in Lanterns.
I JOSEF KUTZER of Tuchmachergasse No. 25 Prague in the Empire of Austria,
Manufacturer 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in lanterns and consists in means for greatly
facilitating the insertion and withdrawal of the cylinder this being effected by moving
the carrier ring or handle of the lantern to one side and so as to cause the cap closing
the top of the cylinder to be drawn or raised upwards.
The invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a front
view of the lantern embodying the above mentioned improvements Fig. 2 is a
longitudinal section of the upper part of the improved lamp Fig. 3 is a cross section
of Fig. 2.
b
The invention is carried out as follows. The cap c pressed by the spiral spring b
upon the cylinder a is connected to a rod e and is moved by means of the cross-bar g
through the slotted guiding tube of the cap and this rod e is furnished at its upper
end with a hook h. The handle which is arranged to turn at k in the upper part
of the guiding tube or pipe fis bent inside such tube after the manner of a crank as
When the handle is
shewn at and there engages with the hook h upon the rod e.
turned in the direction of the arrow I (Fig. 3) the crank pulls the hook h in an
upward direction and in consequence of the pressure of the spring 6 being overcome
the cap c is raised and thus the cylinder can be readily withdrawn from the lantern.
The motion of the handle i takes place after the removal of the well known
protecting case m of the lantern. When the handle is moved on the contrary in an
opposite direction to that of the arrow I Fig. 3 the crank becomes disengaged from
The new contrivance
the hook of the rod e and no effect is produced upon the cap c.
possesses the great advantage that the withdrawal of the cylinder can be readily
effected with one hand only while in lanterns as hitherto used the cap has had to be
raised from the cylinder with both hands in order to remove the said cylinder.
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 :-
c of the
In safety lanterns the improved arrangement or device for raising the
cap
cylinder consisting of the rod e connected at its lower end with the cap c and provided
at its upper end with the hook hand of the handle i the crank of which engages
with the said hook so that by turning the handle in one direction the cap c is raised
owing to the pressure of the spring & being overcome, substantially as herein before
described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.

We. THOMAS TOWNEND, of Lime Street, in the city of London, JOHN EATON, of
Hillgate, Stockport, in the county of Chester, and ARTHUR POWELL TOWNEND, of
Lime Street, in the city of London, Hat Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of felt hats and has for its chief objects to
render the same flexible and spring fitting without the use of wire as hitherto.
According to our invention we make that portion of the hat which is to form the
edge of the brim and the curl thicker than the other parts, so that, through the extra
thickness and stiffening combined, the brim possesses sufficient rigidity to support the
weight of the hat without the use of a wire.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Felt Hats.
We, THOMAS TOWNEND, of Lime Street, in the city of London, JOHN EATON, of
Hillgate, Stockport, in the county of Chester, and ARTHUR POWELL TOWNEND, of
Lime Street, in the city of London, Hat Manufacturers, 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 manufacture of felt-hats.
To manufacture spring fitting felt-hats it has hitherto been usual to form and felt
the bodies the same thickness throughout, the result being that in order to render the
main part of a hat sufficiently thin and light the brim portion of the hat was too
thin and had to be stiffened by the introduction of a wire, the use of which is
objectionable.
The object of our invention is to dispense with the use of a wire as hitherto and to
render hats flexible and spring fitting.
To accomplish this end we make that portion of the hat which is to form the edge of
the brim and the curl thicker than the other parts, so that, through the extra thickness
and stiffening combined, the brim possesses sufficient rigidity to support the weight
of the hat without the use of a wire.
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 :
(1.) In the manufacture of felt-hats making that part of the body which is to form
the outer edge of the brim and the curls thicker than the other parts, for the purpose
set forth.
(2.) A felt-hat the outer edge and curls of the brim of which are thickened in the
manner, and for the purposes, described.
