page_text: I SAMUEL GIBSON of the firm of Messieurs Gibson Brothers of Hebden Bridge
in the county of York do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN EDGING OR WHIPPING MACHINES." to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct my machine for edging or whipping
woollen cloths, and the like, so that on the ascent of the hook needle, the hook is
selfactingly closed, and on its descent, the needle is left clear, by this means the
machine can be worked at a higher speed, and there is no dead pressure upon the
needle hook when closing same.
The closer works in a slide and is attached to a spindle upon which is a spiral or
other spring which when the needle is ascending moves the closer against the hook
of the needle, and so closes it, a lever is worked by a tappet or cain, and upon the
descent of the needle, lifts the closer clear, and allows the needle to open, by this
means there is no dead pressure upon the hook of the needle, and it thus prevents
breakage.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE SOLES OF BOOTS AND SHOES
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I EDWARD ANGELO HERBERT of Beeleigh Lodge Erith in the county of Kent
Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVEMENT
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE SOLES OF BOOTS AND SHOES and in what inanner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying drawing:-
The object of my invention is to provide a more durable and at the same time
less clumsy sole for boots and shoes than such as are at present in use-To this
end I insert pieces of metal into the leather of the sole in the manner described
below.
Figure 1 on the drawing is an elevation and figure 2 a plan of the plates dies
and punches which I employ-Figure 3 is an enlarged view of one of the pieces of
metal which I insert into the leather of the sole.
Similar letters indicate similar parts throughout.
In figure 1 the leather of the sole is represented by the letter A. It is placed
between two metal plates B and C, in both of which a number of small holes are
made, the positions of which exactly correspond with each other, in the two plates,
these holes which are all of equal size are marked b and c respectively--In the
holes c of the upper plate I place the small studs or pieces of metal which are to
be inserted into the leather and which may be either plain tapered or notched as
shown in figure 3-I provide a third plate D which is covered with small punches d
arranged to correspond with the holes in C and B-Angle pieces E are attached
to the plate B as shown, which form guides for C and D to work in-An eye F
may also be used for attaching the upper plate D to any suitable press.
Plate B having been conveniently secured to a bench or stand the operation is as
follows-A piece of leather suited for the sole is placed upon B and C is placed on
the top of it-The holes in C are then filed with the pieces of metal (which
I prefer notched) which are to be inserted into the sole, and the plate D is brought
down. As D descends the punches & enter the holes c and drive out the pieces of
metal contained therein, which are forced into the leather, and in their turn punch
out small pieces of leather and force them into the holes b-Plate D is then lifted,

page_text: C being retained in its place by means of the lips G until the punches d are quite
clear, when it is also lifted, and the leather can be then removed and is ready for
use with the metal studs securely embeded in it.
If it is desire to punch holes in the leather without inserting the metal studs,
I make the punches d of sufficient length to pass through the leather as well as
the plate C.
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 arrangement of plates dies and punches by means of which the pieces of
metal are inserted into the leather as shown and described.
2. The use of pieces of metal inserted into the soles of boots and shoes as and
for the purposes described and shown.

IMPROVED MEANS OR APPLIANCE FOR THE STEMMING OR TAMPING OF BLAST HOLES
Year: 1884

page_text: I, WILLIAM WALKER of Saltburn by-the-Sea in the County of York, Mining
Engineer, do hereby. declare the nature of my said Invention for " IMPROVED
MEANS OR APPLIANCE FOR THE STEMMING OR TAMPING OF BLAST HOLES " and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
According to my Invention I obviate the danger and labor of stemming or
tamping blast. holes in the ordinary manner, by employing in lieu thereof a
cylindrical or other shaped piece of wood or other suitable material of sufficient
length to reach from the front of the blasting charge to the outer end of the hole
and having either a hole or passage through it or a groove down its side through
which the fire from the squib introduced at the front end is conducted to the
powder charge at the back. Such piece of wood, being made of a section to
correspond with the configuration of the blast hole, such as circular triangular &º,
is merely loosely introduced therein, sufficient dirt or dust being thrown upon it as
it is inserted, to fill in the interstices between the two.
The accompanying Drawing shews a blast hole with my improved stemming or
tamping applied thereto. A is the blasting charge, and B is the cylindrical or
other shaped piece of wood, (which may be in two or more separate lengths if
desired), having a hole or passage C through its centre or other part, or it might be
a groove along one side thereof, into the front end of which is inserted the squib D,
the sparks from which are guided along the passage C to the outer end of the
blasting charge A, thus insuring the ignition of the latter at the correct point for
obtaining the most effective action thereof.
By preference I make the hole C somewhat taper in form, diminishing in size
from the front to the rear end, so as not to expose the charge more than is necessary
for effecting the proper firing thereof.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I claim :-
The use for the stemming or tamping of blast holes, of a piece of wood or other
suitable material having a cross section corresponding to that of the blast hole and

page_text: reaching from the front end of the blasting charge to the outer end of the blast
hole, such piece of wood or other material having a hole or passage through it or a
groove along its side for conducting the fire from a squib inserted at its front end
to the blasting charge, substantially as herein described.

IMPROVEMENT IN WATER CLOSET BASINS
Year: 1884

page_text: : PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I FREDERICK WILLIAM HAGEN of 16 Parliament Street Kingston upon Hull
in the County of the same Town, Architect & Surveyor, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN WATER CLOSET BASINS to be as
follows:-
To a basin of any convenient shape an outlet-oval or of other suitable form-
is made at the side-with the bottom of the basin dished and extended past the
orifice or outlet rising upwards so as to hold a sufficient quantity of water to
submerge the orifice and to render the basin at all times scaled against the
admission of any effluvia or gas from the soil pipe-And the latter having no
valves or other connection with the basin and thero being no pressure of local gas
on the water seal where the soil pipe is ventilated top & bottom. The flush is
opposite the outlet.

page_text: I FREDERICK WILLIAM HAGEN of 16 Parliament Street of the Town & Borough
of Kingston upon Hull Architect, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for AN IMPROVEMENT IN WATER CLOSET BASINS and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
The Water Closet Basin being circular or oval in form is made with the bottom
within about 9" of the rim on the low side next the outlet & is inclined upwards
to within about 5" of the rim on the side opposite-being dished & gradually
merged into the sides of Basin, the top edge of which is provided with a flushing
rim with a 3 way nozel on the side opposite the outlet-The arm of the outlet is
raised in a slightly bent form to retain the water in the basin at a level which
entirely submerges the outlet. The arm is connected by a soil pipe branch-
with one end dipping into the water of the basin-to the vertical soil pipe direct-
The end of the branch soil pipe being sealed against the escape of foul air by
entering the water of basin-& by a ring with fangs clasping a graduated collar
on the end of arm a perfectly reliable & water sealed junction is made with the
basin The soil pipe & soil pipo branch are accessible in case of stoppage by
means of a gullet formed in the soil pipe junction piece which is covered with
a flap or screw cap-Vertical soil pipe being ventilated at both ends in the usual
manner.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I'declare that what
I claim is
1st An Improved Basin by bringing the bottom within 9" of the top of rim of
Basin and by so doing rendering it more inviting for hand cleansing-so
necessary periodically in addition to Water Flushing-to keep the Basin wholesome.
2nd An Improved joint between arm of Basin & head Soil Branch by submerging
the end into the water of Basin & securing a firm juncture by means of the Metal
Ring with Fangs, and graduated Collar.
3rd Direct access from exterior of Building through Gullet & Branch soil pipe
into water of Basin.
AN IMPROVED CABINET WITH INVISIBLE CUPBOARD
Year: 1884

page_text: JAMES PHIPPS WOOD 324 City Road Woollen Draper do hereby declare the
nature of the invention for AN IMPROVED CABINET WITH INVISIBLE CUPBOARD to
be as follows :-
:-
It is in three sections. The body and two sides. The body is formed by the
back, bottom and top. The bottom must be a double square, as 12 x 24 rising to
any hight. The support of the top is by a partition, running diagonally half way
from the back right and left corners, to the centre of the front. Within this angle
is the cupboard. The side sections fit into the outer angles. The front is an
ordinary glass door. The side, of wood, square with the back. The third side,
fitting the partition, faced with looking-glass. Thus perfectly concealing the
cupboard, as, by reflection you give the two full squares. These, sections, move
freely on a wheel, and are connected by hinges, to the body at the far corners.

page_text: JAMES PHIPPS WOOD 324 City Road London Woollen Draper, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED CABINET WITH INVISIBLE
CUPBOARD and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In carrying out my invention, I use any ordinary Cabinet which has cupboard
spaces, either open; or with transparent glass doors. In the space which forms the
Cupboard or recess, I insert a reflector in such a position, as to leave a space to form
a concealed, or invisible Cupboard, behind it, and so arranged, that it shall reflect
the part of the Cupboard or recess in front of it, in such a manner, as to present
the appearance of a complete recess, of which no part, has been cut off, or concealed.
In the case of a Cabinet with square ends, the reflector would be placed diagonally
across the recess so as to leave a triangular space in front which by being reflected
will appear to be square and so conceal the fact that there is a cupboard space
behind. The angle at which the reflector concealing the cupboard space behind is
placed, will depend on the shape of the Cabinet front, the space in front of the
reflectors being available to place articles ornamental or otherwise upon, may be so
used and thus assist to conceal the fact that a portion of the recess lias been cut off
to form a concealed cupboard. Access to the concealed cupboard may be obtained
in any convenient manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the the nature of my said

Year: 1884

page_text: I, MARY KING, of Ditchampton House, near Wilton, in the County of Wilts,
Widow, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED HEALING
OINTMENT FOR CUTANEOUS DISORDERS" and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My improved ointment is compounded of olive oil and bees' wax.
proportions in which I prefer to mix the ingredients are ordinarily :-
1 pint of fine olive oil,
2 ounces of bees' wax.
The
In preparing the ointment, I separate the bees' wax into small pieces, and
having added the oil I gradually heat the mixture until the bees' wax is dissolved.
Having been stirred together the preparation is allowed to cool and set, whereupon
it is ready for use.
This ointment when applied for burns, chilblains, chapped hands and other
cutaneous disorders, possesses great healing powers. It may also be used with
advantage for the stings of insects and certain descriptions of venomous bites;
and, being non-irritent, is preferable for children suffering from soreness of the skin.
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 improved ointment compounded of olive oil and bees' wax substantially in
the proportions specified and for use as described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN HOEING IMPLEMENTS
Year: 1884

page_text: CHARLES PROUT Implement Maker Lower Filham Ivy Bridge Devonshire
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HOEING
IMPLEMENTS to be as follows:-
The invention consists in having the back bar for carrying the knives cranked
in place of being straight to give more clearance to the knives, which prevents
their getting choked, on the cranked part of frame I place knives-as also on the
straight part of same bar there are knives placed on the bar in front of the
cranked bar for hoeing each side of a row of turnips, &c.-In place of lifting
the Hoe by two handles I apply a lever in connection with the axle so that by
pressing down this lever it will raise the knives out of the ground this lever is
brought behind' in a convenient place for the man when working the Hoe so that
at any time he can raise the hoe out of the ground.
The Malleable Iron knife holder is made with two slots in for the stem of knife
and a screw behind to tighten the knife to the bar of Frame & prevent its moving
unless the screw is slackened.

CHARLES PROUT Agricultual Implement Maker Filham Ivy Bridge Devonshire
I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN HORSE
HOES 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 improved construction of Horse Hoes and is
suitable for all kinds of corn and other crops. The lifting of the steering handles
for raising the Hoe out of its work is dispensed with. I apply a number of levers
and connecting rods attached to the Axle and the shaft frame by which the pulling
down of one lever raises the Hoes up from the ground and can be secured in that
position by a hook on the frame, The positions of levers can be altered by the
pins in joints at ends of levers or the chain at end of lever connected to frame.
The Back Bar of Frame is cranked or curved for carrying the Hoes by this
arrangement the Hoes can be so adjusted so that they clear themselves and prevent
the weeds from choking them.
Fig 1 Is a side elevation of the Horse Hoe.
Fig 2 Is a plan of Horse Hoe.
Fig 1. A is the lever with handle for raising the Hoes out of ground, which is
connected to lever B at joints marked b the other end being secured by chain. The
lever B working on the pin marked a Cis upright bar secured by the two stays

IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW FAST'NERS
Year: 1884

page_text: HAROLD SMITH of Pinley House near Coventry Gentleman and DAVID SMITH
of Dudley Road near Birmingham Gentleman do hereby declare by both declarants
the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW FAST'NERS to be as
follows:-
Our improvements consist in fixing a self locking spring catch latch which
fastens the window sashes when it (the window) is shut, the bottom of the bolt
shoots clear of the space between the top & bottom sashes so as to prevent any
effectual tampering with the bolt from the outside-The latch is like an ordinary
cupboard, or flap table latch, the bolt is pulled forward to release the sashes, it is .
fixed on the top rail of the bottom sash; a lever or holder is hinged on the top of
the box, this lever is automatic & falls over & clips the horn which horn is cast on
the top of the bolt-case and thus the lever or holder prevents the sashes shaking
or rattling together.
HAROLD SMITH,
DAVID SMITH.

HAROLD SMITH of Pinley House, Near Coventry, Gentleman, and DAVID SMITH
of Dudley Road Birmingham Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW FASTENERS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :—
Our improvements consist in fixing an ordinary Table spring catch on the Middle
rails of the window Sashes having an horn attached to the latch over which a Keeper
falls by automatic action when shuting the window. The under side of the bolt
nose is flat where the two sash rails meet, and so prevents the bolt being forced
back by a knife &c. Fig. 1 and 3 are sectional elevations & Fig. 2 & 4 plans of 1
the same.
The Keeper K in Fig. 1 & 2 is attached to the nose case S and the
horn H to the box B. when the sash is pulled down The bolt nose N catches the
trigger R and brings it over the horn H holding the sashes close together. In
Fig. 3. & 4. the horn H is attached to the nose case S, and the Keeper K to the
box B. The prolonged flat on the underside of the bolt nose is shewn by P, 1 & 3. 1
When the Window is shut the Fastners are as shewn in Figures 2 and 4.
To open the Window when figure 4 is used pull back the Spring Catch, and lift
the Sash.
When the Window is closed the Keeper K falls over the Horn H, and is so
adjusted as to pull the two Sashes firmly together.
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
First. The fixing of a Keeper falling by automatic action over, and clipping the
Horn so as to hold the Sashes close to each other when the Window is shut.
Secondly. The extension of the flat part of the underside of the Bolt Nose, so
as to cover the space between the Middle Sash Rails when the Window is closed.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FOLDING STEPS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMILELE
DILCIFICATION.
<
I WALTER JAMES, GWYNN of N° 3 Church Street Malvern in the County of
Worcester Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN FOLDING STEPS" and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, to be as follows, that is to say:-
My invention has for its object improvements in folding steps which are steadier
and more secure than those at present in use besides being very simple and easily
handled.
I order that my invention may be easily understood and carried into practice
without difficulty I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings containing two
illustrations.
Figure 1 illustrates the steps open and Figure 2 illustrates the steps closed.
Referring to Figure 1 A is a folding distance joint working upon thee pivots or
centres b, c, and d and consists of two bars of iron or other suitable material
The bar a¹ is considerably longer than bar a² so that when the steps are folded
together as seen by Figure 2 the end a³ of bar a¹ projects sufficiently below the
bevelled end e¹ of the sides E to form a leg and so enable the steps to stand upright
upou the ground without leaning against any support. It will be noticed that the
distance joint or bars a¹ and a² are not quite on a line the stop f serving to prevent
this by bearing against the rod a² so that the joint is always ready to bend
downwards, without any trouble. There is a projecting head on the inside of the
pin or pivot c which takes into the recess / in the sides E and so serves to prevent
the joint going too far and to assist in adding stability to the steps, when closed,
It will be evident that both the sides a¹ and a of the joint may be so constructed
as to each overlap the other the same distance and by fixing the pivots b and d at
the proper height they would each bear upon the ground instead of one as shown
in the example.
My intention is to use this joint in conjunction with the general construction of
steps patented by me N° 7799 and dated the 16th May 1884 but the joint may
also be applied to other steps,

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 improvements in folding steps of the folding joint A so arranged as to
always close downwards to constitute a level support for the purpose of enabling
the steps to stand upright substantially as herein set forth.
