An improved Gun wad.
I, CHARLES WILLIAM SUMMERSKILL Engineer Swan Buildings Edmund
Street Birmingham 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 in sectionally cutting an ordinary gun wad or making a
gun wad in sections-the object being to cause an even distribution of the shot.
I will now show in what manner the wad is cut.
Eig. 1. represents an ordinary wad cut across its diameter C. D. but leaving a
sufficiency of material uncut to hold the two halves together like a hinge-then
turn the wad over and similarly cut-but this cut A B is at right angles to the
first one-the result being that the wad will then open in halves from either side
-yet capable of being torn by force into 4 pieces or quarters.
I also employ 4 loose sections or quarters of a wad which I glue or secure
to a thin material aud so hinge or secure together as after the manner before
described.
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
1st. A wad cut across its diameter substantially as described-the object of
which is to secure a more even distribution of shot and greater penetration.

Improvements in Loops for use in Putting on Boots and Shoes.
We, WILLIAM STEPHENS CLARK, and FRANCIS JOSEPH CLARK, of the firm
of C. & J. Clark, of Street, Somersetshire, Boot 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 improved loops for use in drawing on boots and shoes,
and has for its object to provide a substitute for the web looping in ordinary use,
which, unless tucked inside the boot or shoe when it has done its work, projects in
an unsightly manner, and is objectionable when the trousers or dresses are held or
tucked up, or when worn with knickerbockers or the like.
Our invention consists in utilising the back-strap which is usually put to
strengthen and finish the back part of a boot or shoe, and making it to serve as the
loop, leaving an unsewn space of suitable depth from the top of the upper, in which
the wearer may insert his finger and draw on the boot, and when it is on, the strap
forming an integral part, will lie closely against the back of the boot, and appear
like an ordinary back strap, except that for purposes of strength it may be cut a
little wider.
The accompanying drawing will illustrate more fully the manner of carrying our
invention into effect: The back-strap A is sewn in the usual manner as far as a,
and there it is strongly fastened: wire staples, bifurcated or tubular rivets may in
some cases be advantageously used to prevent the strap from giving way; the strap
is fastened at the top by stitching, and the whole of the top part of the boot is of
the same height and appearance as if there were no loop while a strong means for
pulling on the boot is always ready for use when required.
The drawing shows what is known as a goloshed Balmoral boot, but the strap
may be applied in the same manner to a Derby or whole-quartered boot, to buttoned
or any other class of boots, or to the fronts as well as the backs of elastic boots,
thus dispensing entirely with any attachment of looping web.
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 is :-
In the manufacture of boots and shoes, cutting the straps, which are usually
employed to protect the seams, of sufficient width to form loops to be used in pulling
on the boots or shoes, the stitching being omitted from the straps at a suitable
distance from the top, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and
described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improved Means for Controlling Restive Horses.
I, CARL JAGELITZ, Royal Harbourmaster, of Husum in the Kingdom of Prussia
German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
.
The object of the present invention is to provide a device for stopping run-away
horses and I attain this object by means of a band or cord slung round the horses
neck in the form of a sling, which can be controlled by the rider or coachman, so-
that when the horse gets restive or bolts, the coachman, by pulling the line, can
tighten up the sling round the throat of the animal, thus preventing its breathing
freely and bringing it to a standstill.
In order to make my present invention more easily intelligible, reference is had
to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the several views.

device round the throat,
Fig. 2 a front view of the sling when loose,
Fig. 3 the same view with the sling closed,
Fig. 4 a side elevation of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 5 a side elevation of Fig. 3.
a is a band encompassing the neck of the horse, but not long enough to reach
completely round it. To the ends of the said band are attached rolls bb, whilst a
chain c is attached to the bearing of the upper roll bat m passed under the lower
roll 6' and over the upper roll 6 and then on in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 4)
to the coachman. The lower roll end of the band is weighted at a¹. The device
operates in the following manner :-
As soon as the horse gets restive or bolts, the coachman pulls the line cand
tightens the sling around the throat of the animal, thus preventing its breathing
freely and bringing it to a standstill. As soon as the horse has been stopped it
will only necessary to slack out the line c and the sling loosens of itself by means
of the weight a¹.
It should be remarked that a very slight pull on the line will bring the horse up,
so that there is no necessity whatever to injure the same in any way by partial
strangulation.
The sling device should be preferably attached to the upper part of the headstall,.
as shown at o in Fig. 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A sling device connected to the upper part of the head stall, encompassing the
throat of the horse and having the drawline extended to within reach of the
coachman or rider substantially as described.
2. The combination of the band a having rolls b and b₁ the chain or cord c
attached to the upper roll bearing, and passing under the lower roll and over the
upper roll or vice versa, and a weight at arranged at the lower part of the band a
for the purpose substantially as described and sha

statement:-
This invention has reference to a holding device suitable for clamping or holding
a house flannel in position for use.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a front elevation; and Fig. 2 a side elevation of holding device con
structed according to this invention.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the same.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the holding device with the clip in the opened
position.
a is a rod or handle to which is fixed a crosspiece formed with a semi-circular
groove c. Over this cross piece is arranged a movable wire clip d which is guided
laterally in the semi-circular groove e in the cross piece b, and is made elastic and
which is clasped at its lower portion by a handle e pivoted to the rod a at f. The
arrangement is such that when the handle e is thrown up, as shown in Fig. 4, the
wire clip d also moves up, and a house flannel shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, can
then be placed between the cross-piece and the clip d. If then the handle
which is capable of rotation about f, be turned down into the position shown in
Fig. 1, the inserted house flannel will be firmly held in place, the wire clip d being
able to yield or expand to a certain extent by reason of its elasticity.

1, RICHARD REES 146 Aldersgate Street E.C. Haberdashery Buyer 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:-
That whereas tubular ribbon or tape has hitherto been woven an uniform
thickness and strength throughout, and the same largely used for the covering of
strips of steel, bone, and similar materials for the purpose of stiffening dress
bodices; and as the ends of the said strips have a tendency to work through the
tubular ribbon or tape when covered, it is proposed to weave the ribbon or tape
extra thick and strong at intervals of three or more inches so that when used for

Improved Means for the Utilization of Deodorisers, Disinfectants,
Antiseptics, and the like.
We, THOMAS BAGE BLYTON and FREDERICK ASPINALL ASTLEY both of
76 Gordon Street Broughton in the County of Lancaster, Pharmaceutical Chemists,
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 provide a ready portable and unobjectionable
means for the utilization of deodorisers disinfectants antiseptics and the like.
According to our invention we take discs, balls or other conveniently shaped
pieces of biscuit china or other suitable porous and unglazed earthenware, and we
soak, saturate or otherwise impregnate the same with camphor, carbolic acid,
eucalyptus oil, tar, terebine, oil of pine, thyme, or other solution substance or
compound having antiseptic, deodorizing disinfecting or similar properties.
The porous china or earthenware will absorb a considerable quantity of the
desired chemical which it will retain for some time, and thus the deodorant,
disinfectant or antiseptic can be carried in a pocket and will or may be con-
tinually in action especially as regards the person carrying the same until
entirely exhausted from the china or earthenware.
The disinfecting or other tablet after being prepared as above described
should be wrapped in an envelope or covering of tin or lead foil or other
impervious material to retain its efficiency during storage or transport.
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 :-
Tablets for deodorizing, disinfecting, antiseptic and similar purposes manufac-
tured by saturating or impregnating discs balls or other conveniently shaped
pieces of biscuit china or other porous or unglazed earthenware with a chemical
agent suitable for the purpose to which they are to be applied substantially as
and for the purposes herein before described.

Improved Hinges for Doors.
I, JAKOB HELD, of Penloer Street] Cologne, in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
The present improvements in door hinges refer to the two kinds of rising hinges
represented in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings.
That shewn in Fig. 1 is designed to act upon swing doors which open on either
side, and to replace the expensive springs now employed.
The hinge shown dispenses with springs, because at the working point in the
centre of the hinge there is a double slope or ascent, and when the door is opened
on either side it must rise to the height of the summit of the slope. When the
door is released, it will descend the slope and close itself by its own gravity. This
hinge possesses also the advantage that the wearing parts can be easily oiled
when the door is open, owing to the separation which takes place between them.
The centre part of the figure shown in crossed lines indicates the interior of the
hinge around or upon which the door turns.
In Fig. 2 is shown a form of hinge designed to replace at small cost the
automatic door-closers so much in vogue; and it differs very little from the hinge
in Fig. 1.
This binge is applicable to all kinds of doors, in all positions, and by using it,
it is possible to ensure that the door cannot remain open unless wedged or fixed
in some required position. The hinge is so simple that its application, as will be
readily understood from the drawing, is more adapted for general use than the
hinge shown in Fig. 1.
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. As a substitute for door springs for swing-doors, the double-handed rising-
hinge shown in Fig. 1, which when in action raises the door, when opened in
either direction, to a height corresponding to the height of the centre point, as
herein described and set forth.
2. As a substitute for automatic door-closers the single-handed rising-hinge
represented in Fig. 2, as herein described and set forth.

material so as to allow the glassframe A A to rest watertight in the outerframe 1
as shown in Fig. 3, or the jointing material may be inserted in the outerframe I. I.
as shown in Fig. 1.
The glassframe A is raised from its seat in the outerframe I. I by means of the
screws M. M to which are attached the bearings N. N, which bearings are bored
to suit the pivots G & H of the glass frame A. A.

Stocking Heel Protector.
GEORGE ALFRED CAPSTICK, 15, Station Road, Church End, Finchley,
London, Commercial Traveller, 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 new or improved protector for stockings, socks, and the
like, and has for its object to provide a device which shall effectually prevent the
heels of such articles from becoming worn thereby rendering them useless, whilst
they are otherwise in good condition.
According to my invention, I provide a suitably shaped device of thin leather,
velvet, satin, silk, or other suitable soft and light material designed to be placed
over the heel between the stocking and the boot or shoe, the same being retained in
position by means of a band of elastic or other suitable material stitched or other-
wise fixed to the top corners of the device, the said band passing over and around
the instep or top part of the foot.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which like
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views and in
which
Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved device, Fig. 2 is a plan of same, Fig. 3
shows the device c attached to the heel of the stocking a.
My improved device consists of the lower piece a to which is stitched or secured
in any other suitable manner, around the curved edge of same, the piece d, the
piece a being placed under the heel and the piece d surrounding same, whilst the
device is kept or retained in position by means of the band g stitched to either
corner e e of the device.
My new or improved device can be cheaply manufactured and will enable the
stocking to be worn a greater length of time than is at present possible and will
further be found extremely useful to persons with sore heels, for preventing same
from being rubbed by the boot or shoe.

page_text: 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 new or improved device for protecting the heels of stockings, socks, or the
like, substantially as herein described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in and connected with Hammock Seats.
I, ALBERT GRAF of 10 Feldstrasse, Rykon, Tossthal, in the Swiss Republic,.
Tutor, 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 hammock seat which may be easily and
quickly fitted up in a wood or in any desired spot where trees or equivalent posts
or supports of like nature are available. The advantages chiefly sought to be
obtained are simplicity of construction and manipulation.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which
Figure 1 shews the hammock seat with its suspending cords, in plan,
Figure 2 the back rest in elevation, also with its cords,
Figure 3 the hammock seat erected ready for use, and
Figures 4 and 5, alternative forms of suspending hooks drawn to an enlarged
scale.
The seat itself, a b c d consists of a suitable strip of canvas or other textile
material of sufficient strength. At each end of this strip there are secured in the
fabric eyelets, preferably of copper or brass, e e e e¹. To these eyelets, the two
cords efe and efe are secured, and at the middle of each of these cords a
second cord o o¹ terminating in a hook g gl is connected. These hooks may be of
either of the known forms illustrated by Figures 4 and 5 respectively, and serve to
suspend the apparatus from the trees or supports as shewn by Figure 3, where the
cord is passed once or twice around the tree and the hook is engaged with the cord
on the hammock side.
The back rest hik l consists of a strip of canvas or similar suitable material
having eyelets m m' at its ends, to which cords n n are connected. After the seat
has been suspended, the cords n n' are tied to the seat cords as shewn by Figure 3
so as to bring the back rest into the relative position indicated or thereabouts.
An advantage of the hereinbefore described construction is that either the seat
alone or the back rest alone may be independently used as a hammock seat.
In:
this case the two parts are separated and the cords of the back rest may for this
purpose be connected with hooks such as g g¹ and the back rest may or may not be
constructed in a similar manner to the seat.
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 hammock seat constructed and arranged substantially as hereinbefore
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. In a hammock seat, a seat constructed independently of the back rest, the
seat being suspended by means of suitable cords and hooks, and the back rest being
tied to the seat cords when in use, substantially as herein before described and as.
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
