I, HENRI DE LA PLACE, of 20 Upper Baker Street, in the County of Middlesex,
Artist in Human Hair, 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 process for dyeing hair or restoring its colour by the
application of innocuous and readily accessible materials. For this purpose, I first
wash the hair with warm water in which is dissolved a little soda, taking care to
use no soap. I then apply to the hair a solution of permanganate of potash, and,.
three or four hours after the application, I wash the hair with soap and water.
If a single application does not sufficiently darken the hair, the solution may be
applied repeatedly. The strength of the solution varies according to the existing
colour of the hair and the colour that is to be produced, as will be understood from
the following examples.
Assuming that in all cases an ounce of water is used for dissolving the per-
manganate, straw coloured hair may be changed to light auburn by using in the
solution from 4 to 15 grains of the permanganate, to dark auburn by using 20
to 70 grains, to brown by using 60 to 110 grains, to dark brown by using 150
to 160 grains and to black by using about 200 grains. Grey hair can be restored
by applying once a week a solution containing about 8 grains of permanganate;
it can be at once rendered brown by applying a solution containing 100 to 120 grains
of permanganate, or it can be rendered black by using 160 to 300 grains in the
solution. White hair can be changed to various degrees of gold by using solutions
containing 4 to 15 grains, the darker the greater the quantity of permanganate;
it may be darkened to shades of chestnut and brown by using 20 to 60 grains, and
to dark brown and black by using 70 to 120 grains,

page_text: 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 process for dyeing hair or restoring its colour, by washing with weak soda
solution, and then with a solution of permanganate of potash of suitable strength
according to the colour of the hair treated and the colour to be produced, sub-
stantially as herein described.

page_text: We, EDWARD. LESTER SHIPMAN and JAMES DE GRASSE SHIPMAN, both of
10 Murray Street, New York City, in the state of New York, one of the United
States of America, printers and lithographers 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:-
Fig. 1 is a front view of a paper-binder containing our improvement; Fig. 2 is
an enlarged face view of our improvement; Fig. 3, an edge view of the same.
The object of this invention is to facilitate the introduction of binding-tongues
in the eyes of a receiving-plate. To this end the eyes are laterally slotted.
In the drawings the letters A, B are the covers of the binder, and C is the
flexible back thereof. To the cover A is secured the plate D, to which the flexible
binding-tongues E, E are fastened in suitable manner. These tongues are to be
introduced through eyes a or holes which are formed in a similar plate, F, that is
attached to the cover B.
In this our Invention we provide each aperture or eyelet a in the plate F with
a slot, b, as in Fig. 2, which slot extends out to and through the edge of the plate F.
This permits us to insert the tongue E in the eyelet a sidewise, and also to withdraw
it sidewise therefrom.
Should the binder be nearly full of papers there would be great difficulty in
withdrawing the tongue from the eyelet when required, which difficulty is entirely
obviated by the use of the lateral slot in said eyelet as the tongue can thus be
introduced or removed with facility rendering the binder much more convenient in
use, and more readily manipulated.
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:-
The combination of the binder A, B, C, carrying the flexible tongues E, E, with
the plate F, having eyelets a, adapted to receive said tongue, the said eyelets
having slots b, which extend to the edge of the plate F, substantially as and for

I GEORGE PORTER, of 2 Manor Road, New Cross, in the County of Surrey,
Auctioneer 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 consists of a preparation of food for dogs, and other animals,
game and poultry, and the essential novel ingredient in such preparation or food,
which will generally be made in the form of biscuits or tablets, is onion or other
plant of the genus allium such, for example, as garlic and leek, or an extract
thereof; this ingredient is used in a considerable proportion. The other
ingredients will generally be flour, meat, and a suitable condiment, the proportions
of which may be varied considerably; any other desired substances may be
added but I do not recommend them. Without limiting myself to any particular
ingredients (except the onion or other plant of the genus allium) or to any
particular proportions, I may give the following as an example of the materials
that may be used with advantage to manufacture a ton (approximately) of
The onion, of which the bulb or root is used, may either be reduced by a suitable
mill and be then mixed with the flour and with the meat (which has been boiled,
or not, and triturated) and the condiment, or, after being cut up, it may be boiled
with the meat, or separately, and then mixed with the other ingredients. When
the onion is boiled, with or without the meat, I prefer to mix the liquor thereby
obtained with the ingredients used in the preparation of the food. The flour
employed may be any suitable flour or mixture of flours such as wheat, oat or
bean, but I prefer that about, say, one-fifteenth of the total flour used should be
maize flour.
For poultry or game the proportion of meat employed should be less than 3 cwt.
to the ton but this is a good proportion for dogs or other animals.

page_text: The condiment or spice may, for example, be fenugreek, coriander seed, aniseed
or a mixture of these.
Instead of employing the onion or other like plant itself, I may use an extract
or essential oil obtained therefrom by any suitable process, my object being to
incorporate in the food the essential elements of the onion or other plant of the
genus allium.
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 preparation of food for dogs and other animals, poultry and game manu-
factured from onions or other plants of the genus allium, or extracts thereof, and
other ingredients, substantially as set forth.

page_text: I DOUGLAS ALLPORT of 7 St. Benet Place 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 :-
I incorporate wire (in the form of gauze or otherwise according to the purpose in
view) with paper or paper pulp in the process of manufacture.
I prefer to make this wire-strengthened paper in continuous lengths running one
layer of pulp under, and another over the wire gauze before the water is extracted.
The compound sheet then passes over the vacuum boxes and rolls in the ordinary way
and forms a homogeneous web with the wire in the centre.
I do not confine myself to this method as there are others already in use for uniting
two or more films or sheets of pulp which would be applicable to the incorporation
of a sheet of wire gauze or woven wire in any other form.
The wire may also be interposed between two or more sheets of pulp or paper at a
later stage of the manufacture and the paper cemented or otherwise caused to adhere
together through the interstices of the wire. In this way the resulting sheets or
boards are strengthened by the wire as paper is at present strengthened by the
incorporation of muslin or calico.

Using a Glass Receiver in Place of a Safety Valve.
I ARTHUR H. HAIGH of Belle Vue House Lindley, Huddersfield, Civil Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for PROVIDING AGAINST OVER
PRESSURE OF A FLUID BY USING A GLASS RECEIVER IN PLACE OF A SAFETY VALVE
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The arrangement may be applied by a circular disc of glass of surface area and
thickness to bear the limiting pressure required, held between two india-rubber
annular washers, and tightened down into a cylinder like a telescope lens. By
means of outside flange the cylinder may be screwed to the vessel containing fluid,
one face of the glass receiving the fluid pressure through a hole in the vessel.
Over pressure will then break the glass and the fluid will escape, the other face
of the glass being open to the atmosphere.
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 novelty of the application of a Glass Receiver whose limited strength is
security against over-pressure.

AN IMPROVED WIRE FRAME FOR BAGS
Year: 1886

page_text: I DOUGLAS ALLPORT of No. 7 St. Benets Place, London EC. Merchant do
hereby declare the, nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED WIRE FRAME FOR
BAGS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
My invention consists of a wire frame for more easily carrying opening & closing
the net bags commonly used for tennis balls. It is also suitable for a frame for
bags for carrying light articles. The frame, as I prefer to make it (Fig. 1) consists
of two halves each formed of a single wire, & semi-circular or curved in shape with
a loop A (optional) turned in the middle of each; which loops coming opposite one
another when the frame is closed form a convenient hold for the finger in carrying.
The two halves are hinged or looped together at their extremities, by any of the
methods common to wire workers, but I prefer to have one end of each wire turned
round so as to form a helical tube (B) into which the end of the other wire is
inserted. By bending. the tube & the entering wire at slightly different angles a
spring may be obtained which will close the two halves together.
"
At one end of the frame the entering wire, after passing thro' the tube to form
the hinge, is bent back again outside the tube (c) in such a way that when the
frame is open to its widest extent, the returned wire by pressing (close to the hinge).
against the opposite half of the frame, supports it & prevents it from falling back
any further. At the opposite hinge the entering wire merely passes into the tube,
from which it can be easily withdrawn, so as to open the frame for putting on the
net, which is done by threading the wire thro' the topmost meshes of the net.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the frame..
What I claim is the use of a folding wire frame as an
bag, for the purpose & in the manner described.
addition to the net or other
IMPROVING FEMALES BUST OR BREAST
Year: 1886

page_text: I ALFRED HARRIS Malvern Street Stapenhill Burton on Trent Gentleman
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVING FEMALES BUST OR
BREAST to be as follows:-
Two hollow India rubber half moon's, of the size, shape, & form of a female's
breast's; 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep.
The under sides are curved slightly inwards They can be either inflated or
contracted by means of blowing in the nipples at the front.
The two are connected together by small straps; the one on the right having a
small buckle on the one end & connected to the half moon at the other end; the
left hand strap is connected the same to the left hand half moon & eyeleted its
whole length; so that the breast improver can be cither lengthened or contracted
to suit the wearer.

page_text: I ALFRED HARRIS 3 Malvern Street Stapenhill Burton on Trent in the county
of Stafford Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVING
THE FEMALE BUST OR FIGURE and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Two hollow round balls of the size, shape, and form of a females breasts when
inflated with air, about 5 inches in diameter, and made wholely or in part of India
rubber, or any other elastic material; or wholely or in part of oiled silk, or any
other none elastic material. The under sides are made curved slightly inwards, or
otherwise perfectly round. They are connected and inflated by means of a hollow
peice of tube, passing from one ball to the other. From the centre of this peice of
tube, I attach another peice of tube at a right angle, this being long enough to
allow of the wearer inflating the whole when in position inside her corset or stays,
The air is prevented from escaping by means of a small plug inserted in the end of
the tube. To lengthen or contract the bust improver to suit the size of the wearer,
I attach two flat eyeleted straps of suitable material, one to each ball, and by
means of a small stud, passed through the eyelet holes the balls may be contracted
or lengthened out to suit wearer.
The bust improver may be either painted glazed or otherwise coloured or covered
to give it the apperance of natural flesh, or otherwise.
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. Two round hollow balls made either of elastic or non elastic material or
otherwise.
2. Or made with the underside curved inwards and made wholely, or in part of
elastic or non elastic material or otherwise.
3. The eyeleted connection between the two balls whereby the same may be
lengthened out or contracted to fit either a broad, or slight made lady.
