I, ROBERT PHILLIPS, of Ballan, in the Colony of Victoria, Painter, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment;
-
The object of this invention is to so make the soles of boots and shoes that in the
use thereof particularly in running there will be an artificial spring action whereby
the wearer of the boot or shoe will be assisted. I have illustrated my invention
by showing how the same is applied to a running pump or shoe, it being particu-
larly in connection with shoes used in athletics (running, cricketing harrying etc.);
that I value it.
Figure 1 is a view of a shoe sole from below, the dotted lines representing a
spring plate of steel, between the outer leather layer of the sole B, and the inner
layer or insole C, and held in place by the pressure of said layers and not by nails
or pegs. Figures 2 and 3 show two of the forms in which the spring plate A may
be made, the wide slots D being to allow of nails or pegs uniting the outer and inner
sole layers together, when pegs, nails or sewings round the sole edge E (Figure 1)
are not considered sufficient. In this case ordinary nail holes would not do as
they would prevent the spring action. The slots if any are used, are invariably
longitudinal.
Figure 4 is an edge view of the steel plate in Figure and Figure 5 is a side
view, during the act of running, of the foot of the wearer of a running pump F
containing my invention.
The natural tendency of the spring plate is to be flat. The spring plate extends
lengthwise rearwardly from a point under the toes, to a point slightly behind the
ball of the foot, that is to say not into the waist of the boot.
Consequently in alighting upon the fore part of the foot, viz. the part from the
ball forward, or the toe part alone-the downward impetus causes the spring plate
to sharply bend as seen in dotted lines in Figure 5, and the strong tendency of the
spring then to resume its normal position helps the user to raise the foot for the next
stride, that is the user is helped to spring along.
I am aware metal plates are used in boots but these are either for quite different
purposes or are not constructed of spring material and secured and located as above
specified and I do not claim metal plates generally but only the special kinds
set forth as from practical trials I find these alone to answer.
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. In the sole of a boot or shoe the combination of a spring plate A with outer
and inner layers as B and C between and by which said alata is hall is

An Improved Cartridge for Cyclists' use for Scaring Dogs and the
like.
I, BURKARD BEHR, Citizen of the Russian Empire, and residing at Bendlikon,
near Zurich, in the Republic of Switzerland, 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 cartridge more particularly intended for
cyclists' use in order to scare and drive away dogs and the like which become
troublesome when riding.
The improved cartridge is shown in vertical section in the accompanying
drawing.
The cartridge is composed of an ordinary case A, for instance such as 18
employed for blasting cartridges, with a cap a inserted in the bottom so that the
cartridge may be discharged from an ordinary revolver. The charge of the car-
tridge however consists one third of gunpowder B, one third of magnesium
flash powder 1 and one third of granulated sulphur C.
The discharge of the cartridge produces an explosion and then a long flame
shooting out of the barrel.
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 cartridge for cyclists' use for the purpose of scaring dogs and the like, con-
sisting of an ordinary cartridge case, such as used for instance for blasting car-
tridges, but charged one third with gunpowder, one third with magnesium flash
powder and one third with granulated sulphur, substantially as hereinbefore set
forth.

page_text: Improvements in Advertizing on Bottles.
I, JACOB HERTZ, of 38, Leadenhall Street, in the City of London, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
'
These improvements consist in advertizing on bottles by illuminating the
label inscriptions or devices and the invention is applicable to bottles of any
kind whether for wine, spirits, beer, mineral waters or other fluids. To render
the advertisements prominent I prefer to apply them to bottles of larger size
than those used in commerce and in fact to such as are now used for exhibition in
shop windows. I form the bottom of the bottle with a hole large enough for insert-
ing a lamp by preference an electric glow lamp therethrough and the bottle
is opaque or rendered opaque except where the label is put on, say by lacquering
it inside; by this means the bottle is made to look as if it were filled with a
liquid or at least so as to form a great contrast to the illuminated part of the
label. This latter has an opaque ground and the letters or device to be illuminated
are transparent or translucent. The lamp is attached to a metal wood or other
stand upon which the bottle is placed and the connecting wire cable, if an electric
glow lamp is used, may be passed through the back of the stand or through the
bottom.

Improvements in Automatical Ignitors for Incandescent and the like
Gas Burners.
We, ALBERT RAMMOSER, Engineer, EUGEN RÖHRS, Merchant, and HEINRICH
RÖHRSON, Doctor of Law, all of Jagerstrasse 4, Berlin, in the Empire of Ger-
many, 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 an improved ignitor for incandescent and the like
burners the igniting powers of which are exceedingly lasting which is obtained
by the so called glowing body being arranged entirely outside the flame zone of
the burner. The glowing body arranged inside the burner, and is exposed
only to the gas and air mixture and not to the open flame so that its igniting or
glowing properties increase each time the igniter is used.
The invention is shown in the annexed drawing. The ignitor consists of the
hollow mantle carrier T Fig. 1 forked at the top and a little curved; it goes
through the head B of the burner some distance into the inside of the latter.
On the lower opening of this carrier is fastened the glowing body P from
whence the platinum or palladium wires D pass into the forked top of the
carrier T. The operation of the ignitor is as follows: The gas flowing into the
burner B at G when opening the gas cock spreads over the body P causing it to
glow whereby the platinum or palladium wires D are brought to white heat and
effect the ignition.
A lighting of the gas inside the mixing pipe is not possible because the gas
and air mixture there, is not able to bring the wires D to white heat. In the
methods shown in Fig. 2 and 3 the mantle support can also be used in its common
form.
For this purpose the wires D joined to the body P are conducted from below
through the sieve of the burner head B and as shown in Fig. 2, guided to the fork
of the carrier T and are there fastened or as shown in Fig. 3 they may be passed
through the burner sieve and spread out conveniently above the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim
is:
1. An improved automatical ignitor for incandescent gas burners and the like
in which a body P is arranged inside the mixing pipe so that the heat here
originated can be transferred to the igniting wires carried above the burner head
substantially as illustrated and described.
2. An improved automatical ignitor for incandescent and the like gas burners
as in Claim 1 in which thin platinum or palladium wires for transferring the heat

page_text: from the body P and for lighting the gas thereby are conducted through the
hollow mantle carrier to the forked end thereof or are passed through the burner
sieve only, substantially as illustrated and described.

same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
Daily calendars made up into a block of a week month or a year, each calendar
to tear off. In the centre of this block of papers, a circular opening is cut to
admit face of ordinary clock.
Upon the paper surrounding face of clock radiating lines are printed with the
numerals as on clock, at the end of such lines. All the numerals and lines on the
calendars to exactly fit and correspond with those on clock. The idea being that
an appointment may be written on the calendar along the radiating lines; when
such time is noted by the clock the attention of the user is immediately drawn
to what has been previously written, by clock hand pointing to same.
Any appointment may be written upon the day's tear off calendar at a certain
time, the clock hands at such time notifying the appointment, further any appoint-
ment can be written upon any day of this calendar in advance, and when the
day arrives the clock hands in the ordinary course will notify such appointment,
the fact of the clock being added to the calendar more promptly draws the atten-
tion to each appointment, this is a distinct improvement upon ordinary calendars
as it is of great commercial utility by showing at a glance what appointments

This invention consists of improvements relating to metallic cylinders or bottles
for containing gas under high pressure and for other purposes, my object being to
readily strengthen such receptacles with but a small addition to their weight.
In the application of my invention to an ordinary steel bottle or cylinder for the
storage and transportation of gas or liquid under high pressure, I shrink or
otherwise fix on the upper and lower ends of the vessel a band or collar formed
preferably from short lengths of seamless steel tube. Upon the main portion of
the vessel, between the said bands or collars, I tightly bind steel wire of a high
tensible strength, making one or more layers of such binding as may be required.
The ends of the wire I fix to the respective bands or collars by any suitable
fastening devices, or I sometimes place the ends in a longitudinal direction upon
the vessel and subsequently coil the wire upon the same after the manner of the
binding of the handles of cricket bats and the like.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings;
Figure 1 is an elevation of a gas cylinder or bottle, and Figure 2 a similar view
of the bottle with my invention applied thereto.
The bands or collars A and B are shrunk or otherwise secured upon the respective
ends of the bottle and the wire C is tightly bound around the body of the vessel
as illustrated. The number of coils and the diameter of the wire employed varies
with the intensity of the stress to be resisted by the bottle for the particular
service for which it may be required.
The band or collar B is made and arranged suitably for serving the purpose of
a foot or base for the bottle as illustrated.
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 strengthening of metallic cylinders or bottles for containing gas under
high pressure and for other purposes, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a metallic cylinder or bottle for containing gas under
high pressure and for other purposes, of the band or collars A and B and wire
binding C, substantially as and for the purpose described and as illustrated.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Screw Sockets for Walls and the like.
I, JEAN HOUBOIS, of 225, Neusserstrasse, Nippes, near Cologne, in the Empire
of Germany, 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:—
The subject of this invention is a screw socket in the manufacture of which lead
piping or lead plates may be employed; the length of piping being in the former
case passed over a screw; or the plate, in the latter case being bent so as to envelop
the said screw; whereupon the lead (in the shape of a tube or plate as the case may
be) is by means of suitable tongs compressed so as closely to fit the screw; or it
may be knocked down around the screw with a hammer. By such means the
hollow socket is provided with an internal screw-thread corresponding to the thread
of the screw forming the core, while at the same time-owing either to the pro-
vision of suitable notches in the arms or jaws of the tongs or to the strokes of the
hammer there are formed ribs on the outside of the socket, which serve to prevent
the socket from being pulled out of the wall or the plastering of the same.
In
the case of thin-walled tubular lead sockets, the internal screw-thread may be pro-
duced simply by screwing a suitable screw into the tube.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figures 1 and 2 represent a lead plate and a length of lead-piping, respectively,
prior to their being applied to the screw, and
Figure 3 shows the finished socket.
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. A screw socket made with lead piping or sheet lead.
2. A screw socket such as referred to in the first claim, which by being com-
pressed tightly around a screw is provided with an inner screw-thread and external
ribs.
3. A screw socket such as is referred to in the first claim wherein the inner
screw-thread is produced by striking the lead tube passed over, or the lead plate
placed around, the screw with a hammer.
4. A screw socket such as is referred to in the first Claim wherein the internal
screw thread is produced simply by screwing the screw into the thin-walled lead-
tube or bent thin lead plate.

Improved Fork for Eating Asparagus and the like.
I, JOSEPH MAURICE WADE, of Victoria Parade, Felixstowe, in the County of
Suffolk, Ironmonger, 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:―
Attached to an ordinary handle of silver, pearl, ivory or other suitable material
is a prong of a fork which may be either round or flat, and the same is curved at
the end somewhat similar to a button hook. Attached to the prong is a lever one
end of which is operated by a finger or thumb of the user, and the other end of
the lever grasps the asparagus by pushing the same against the prongs of the fork.
For corn stalks and other similar vegetables the hook and lever are made larger.
The drawings hereto annexed more particularly describe the invention.
Fig. 1 shows the fork in its entirety. In this case the prong of the fork is
shown at A; B is the lever having a hooked end as shown at C. Both the prong
and the lever have a portion cut out at E.
Fig. 2 shows at D the portion cut out of the lever and the same fits into a larger
but similar orifice cut out of the fork at E and the spindle F passes through both
the fork and the lever. Mounted on the spindle is a spiral spring as shown at G
(Figs. 1 and 2) and this spring can either operate so as to force the lever and fork
apart or so as to bring them together as desired. In use it has, however, been
found that it is better to have the spring as shown in the drawing to force the lever
and prong apart, and for this purpose a sliding catch is inserted in or around the
shaft of the fork as shown at H, and such catch is used for holding down the lever B
when the fork is not in use.
Figure 3 shows the prong of the fork (A in Fig. 1) and the orifice E cut out of
it through which the spindle F passes. The lever fits into the orifice E so that the
spindle F passes through both it and the prong A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
A- improved fork made substantially as above described.

Improved Construction and Arrangement of Brushes to Enable them
to be Used as Cases for Containing Toilette Necessaries and the
like.
I, ZYGMUNT TULEWICZ, of 611, Ziegelgasse, Breslau, in the German Empire,
Law Student, 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 construction and arrangement of brushes in such
manner that two placed together form a case adapted to contain toilette neces-
saries and the like such as a tooth-brush, a nail-brush, a comb, a tooth-powder
box, a shoe-brush, a blacking-brush and a blacking-box for example, the device
being specially suitable for the use of travellers.
The subject of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing. It
consists of two brushes a and b the backs of which are formed with dovetails
adapted to fit into one another so as to connect the two brushes together. The
brush a may serve as a clothes-brush, and the brush b as a shoe-brush. In the
back of the brush a is a hollow space or recess c for the reception of a tooth-
powder box d, and also hollow spaces or recesses e, f, g, which serve respectively
to receive a comb, a nail-brush, and a tooth-brush. In the back of the brush 6
are two hollow spaces h and i, one of which (h) may contain a blacking-box k,
and the other (i) a blacking-brush. When the brushes a and b are connected
together by means of the dovetails on their backs the articles placed in the
recesses in the backs of both brushes are kept in place and prevented from falling
out. The whole device is convenient to use and pack. It is obvious that the two
brushes may be united together by means of hooks or other easily operated fasten-
ings instead of by the dovetail connecting parts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what'
I claim is:--
The improved construction and arrangement of brushes which consists in con-
necting two brushes together back to back and providing them with hollow
spaces or recesses adapted to contain various articles such as a tooth-brush, comb,
nail-brush, blacking-brush, tooth-powder box, and blacking-box, for example,
substantially as described.
