Improved Means in connection with the Fastening of Ladies' Hats.
I, GUSTAV TORON, of No. 42, Bleibtreu Strasse, Charlottenburg, near Berlin,
in the German Empire, Actor, 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 invention relates to improved means in connection with the
fastening of ladies' hats, to protect the hat and its trimmings from being damaged
by the hat pin penetrating same in two places in fastening the hat.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in
Fig. 1 applied to a hat.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device alone. One side of the hat, generally the
right hand side, is provided with a small plate secured internally to the hat body.
This plate is fitted with a hole, the hat body is likewise provided with a hole
coinciding with that of the plate b.
After the hat pin a has been passed through the hole in the plate b a small
projection c is provided a short distance from the point of the pin a to prevent
removal of the latter from the plate 6 or the hat respectively.
On the opposite side of the hat, generally the left hand side, a strip d of hard
material, preferably vulcanised india rubber, is secured internally to the hat
body. On this strip d is mounted a pad e of soft material, preferably cork, for
the reception of the point of the hat pin a.
In fastening the hat, the hat pin a is drawn out as far as the projection o
permits, the hat is put on the head, the hat pin a pushed through the coiffure
and into the cork pad e whereupon the hat is retained in position in the usual
manner.
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 combination with a hat body, a non-removable hat pin in a plate secured
internally to the hat body, a pad of soft material in connection with a hard plate
being secured internally to the opposite side of the hat, substantially as set forth.
2.) In combination with a hat body, a small plate secured internally to one side
of the hat, a hat pin penetrating the hat body and a hole in said plate and non-
removable from the plate by virtue of a projection near its point, a pad of soft
material for the reception of the point of the hat pin at the opposite side of the
hat, a bed plate of hard material for the pad of soft material, said bed plate
secured to the hat body and impenetrable by the point of the hat pin, substantially
as set forth.

page_text: 3.) Means for fastening ladies' hats to prevent damaging of the hat material
and the trimming, constructed and arranged substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.

I, HENRY WRIGLEY, 6, Grandidge Street, Merefield, Rochdale, Machinist, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: —
"
on
This invention is in connection with spinning mules, for the purpose of pre-
venting the re-bounding or springing-out of mule carriages, from the rollers at
the finish of the inward run, and at the finish of the outward run, while
catch"
a common fault to mule carriages, causing thin places and breakages,
through the stretching of the yarn, and making snarles in the thin places, through
too much slack yarn between spindle points and rollers. This apparatus consists
of a bracket secured to the floor, to which is bolted a box bracket containing a
suitable spring, having brake plate attached to the above box bracket, by means
of a stud and snug, placed in slot.
Further by the use of this apparatus I claim there is no obstruction to the
starting of the carriage, either in or out, and by using this apparatus, it faciliates
the starting in or out of the carriage, also relieveing the bands from all undue
strain, causing a saving in the yarn by preventing it from being stretched and
breaking in the winding, and backing off, and a considerable saving in the
bands.
The brake resistance offered to the rebound of the carriage, is graduated by
the run of same.
In order to secure the above results it is necessary to apply four of these
apparatus to each mule i.e. one in each half when the carriage is close up to the
back stops, and one in each half when the carriage is out

Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 more particularly to apparatus for keeping a group of
sterilizing vessels closed, and will be described with the aid of the accompanying
drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of an apparatus embodying my
invention, while Fig. 2 is a partial plan. It differs from other apparatus of the
same class chiefly by its simplicity and facility for adjustment.
The glass jars or other receptacles containing the material to be sterilized are
placed on the base plate p of the apparatus and provided with suitable lids, after
which the holding-down springs mounted in the upper part of the apparatus
are lowered, so as to press the lids upon the mouths of the receptacles and to
close the latter.
According to the nature of the sterilizing vessels, the springs are adjustable
up and down along a rod or rods fixed to the base plate, or on any suitable stand
secured to the same, and are held in position on the said rods or stand by means
of a sliding ring or rings, and a screw-spindle or other suitable nieans.
The upper ends of the springs are bent or coiled and the rings may have
suitable recesses or wires, to facilitate the attachment of the springs to the rings.
Each of the upright rods or posts may be surrounded with a sleeve or tube
having several recesses at different heights for holding the upper end of a spring,
and after the said tube or sleeve with the spring, has been lowered to the desired
level, it may be secured in position by means of a retaining pawl or hook.
In the apparatus represented by the drawing the upper or inner ends of the
springs are held by a central block which serves as a screw nut for a spindle c.
The latter is held in a cross-piece which connects the upper ends of the posts
or stands a, Ɑ.
By turning the screw spindle c with the handle e, the block b together with the
spring may be screwed up and down upon the posts a, a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
1. An apparatus for keeping a group of sterilizing vessels closed or for holding
down their lids, chiefly comprising a fixed stand and a set of springs adapted to
be secured to the said stand by means of sleeves or tubes, or by means of a
|movable block and a screw-spindle, substantially as described.

page_text: 2. The combination of the base plate a, with posts a, a, sliding block b, screw
spindle c, cross-piece d, and springs f, the whole being arranged and adapted
to operate substantially as described.

Preservative Paint or Coating Material for Pasteboard Roofing
Material and the like.
I, CHRISTEN NICOLAJ NIELSEN, of Frisenborg per Ikast Station, Denmark.
Yeoman, 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:-
As pasteboard roofs nowadays are coming more and more into use, a paint or
coating material for rendering them tight and durable is a great desideratum
which as far as I know has not yet been met.
The object of my invention is to produce a paint or coating material whereby
pasteboard roofing material and the like however bad its condition in situ may
be or can be rendered tight durable and of improved appearance.
The following are the proportions of this coating material or paint:
About 55% coal tar
About 20% waterground chalk
About 15% ground slag resulting from the Thomas-Gilchrist process of
dephosphorising iron ores
About 95% pulverized burnt clay
About % turpentine.
The dry materials are worked in with the coal tar as binding material into
an even tough dough or paste, and when about 14 pound of it is used for painting
about a square foot it will be found not to run or crack, while the roof will
be rendered absolutely durable in spite of atmospheric influences. The volatile
ingredient, the turpentine, is added, partly to impart lustre and partly to facilitate
the coating process which is done cold but by preference by gentle sun, heat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is-
A paint or coating material for pasteboard roofing material and the like con-
sisting of coal tar, water ground chalk, ground slag resulting from the Thomas-
Gilchrist process of dephosphorising iron ores pulverized burnt clay and tur-
pentine, in or about the proportions named and intimately mixed.

Improvements in or relating to Button Fasteners.
I, HEINRICH SPOER, Merchant, of Obere Bahnhofstrasse 47, Apolda, Empire
of Germany, 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 improvements in button fasteners for any purposes.
In the accompanying drawings a button fastener according to this invention as
applied to an ordinary dress button is illustrated on a somewhat enlarged scale,
Figure 1 being a sectional elevation and Figure 2 a plan of the securing disc
or plate. Figure 3 shows a construction of button fastener particularly adapted
for boot buttons.
The button a is provided with a rod or shank c having a knob or enlargement b
at its lower end, which after having been inserted in a hole d made in the
material f, is passed through the enlarged end g of a slot h formed in the
securing disc i placed behind the material to which the button is to be secured.
The head of the rod c then slides inwards to the other end of the slot h,
where the disc is slightly domed or pressed upwards, and in this position the rod
is held fast owing to the elasticity of the material, which had to be compressed
in order to insert the fastening.
For boot buttons, as shown in Figure 3, the pin c is formed with a loop k
adapted to embrace the ring or loop of an ordinary boot button.
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 button fastener consisting of a rod carrying a button at one end and having
a knob at its other end, said knob being adapted to be passed through a hole in
the material to which the button is to be applied, and then through the enlarged
end of a slot formed in a securing disc below the material, the disc being domed
at that portion where the other end of the slot is situated whereby the connection
between the parts is rendered secure, substantially as described.
2. A button fastener of the kind described especially applicable for boot
buttons, comprising a pin with a hook at one end to engage with the loop of the
button and a knob at its other end, to engage with a securing disc, substantially
as described.
3. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete button
fastener substantially as described and illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 or in Figure 3
of the accompanying drawings.

Improved Means for Exhibiting Advertisements.
We, THE PHOTOCHROMOSCOPE SYNDICATE LIMITED, of 121, Shaftesbury Avenue,
in the County of London, and CHARLES BUXTON TOMLINSON, of 38, Royal
Exchange, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Gentleman, 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 to provide means whereby advertisements can
be exhibited of a very effective and attractive character and with great variety
of coloured effects and if desired in colours corresponding to the natural colours
of objects which may be represented in the advertisement. According to this
invention photographic representations known as chromograms are taken in what
is known as a photochromoscope camera through screens of various coloured
glasses and the photographs so taken are placed in a photochromoscope project-
ing apparatus such as that shewn in plan in the accompanying drawing and
fully described in the Specification of Letters Patent granted to Frederic
Eugene Ives dated 4th March A.D. 1897 No. 5800, the projecting apparatus
being placed in a dark chamber one side of which is constituted by, or has in
it, a semi-transparent screen such as one of ground glass, the outer side of the
said screen being arranged in the requisite position for the advertisements to be
seen upon the side thereof exterior to the chamber. The various parts of the
apparatus may be arranged so that they can be changed as desired to alternately
expose and obscure either or all of the chromograms at intervals so as to produce
variations in the colour effects of the advertisements exhibited, or intermittent
displays thereof. For example, shutters may be arranged before or behind the
colour screens, which shutters can be raised and lowered by projections on a disc
rotated by clockwork. Or the illuminating device may be exposed and obscured
by a shutter worked by clockwork, or as shewn in the accompanying drawing
the tubes D F containing the lenses d f can be moved on the pivots 1 m on
which they respectively swivel as indicated in dotted lines, by clockwork acting
through a lever A and links & f¹ or otherwise so as to alternately separate out
and combine the colour effects.
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 :-
The use for advertising purposes of a photochromoscove projecting annambue

page_text: or lantern in a chamber provided with a semi-transparent screen whose external
side is placed in a position suitable for exhibiting the advertisements in coloured
effects substantially as herein before described.

Rocking Blotter applicable for Advertizing.
I, WILHELM RAVENÉ, of 2E, Chausseestrasse, Berlin, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
The rocking blotter made according to this invention is in its simplest form
made of cardboard only and blotting paper in order to serve the purpose of adver-
tizing but while also being fairly useful for blotting.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the article Fig. 2 a longitudinal section and Fig. 3
an end view of the handle.
The article consists of the rocking blotter proper A and the handle B. The
two parts are joined by suitably forming the ends B of the handle B to bend
down and hook under each end of the part A. The latter contains the blotting
paper C. The parts A and B are by preference made of cardboard. The means
for joining them are not of so much importance as the object is by extreme
simplicity to ensure the lowest cost of manufacture rather than to produce a
rocking blotter of thoroughly practical form. In practice the ease with which
the handle can be taken off from the part A is so far of value as that the two
parts A and B can be pub flat upon each other, thereby taking up much less
space, so that a much greater number of blotters can be packed and exported
in the same space than heretofore. There is also as compared with former
rocking blotters this advance and advantage that each blotter has not to be
packed separately to avoid damage in transport, as the great elasticity of the
cardboard and the aforesaid facility for putting the parts A B C flat upon
each other do away with such separate packing and with the chance of damage.
The advertisement may be put in the place most suitable for each case. The
handle may in some cases suitably be made of still cheaper material.
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 rocking blotter for advertizing purposes made of cardboard or other cheap
material adapted to be packed flat for transport substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Blotting Paper Rolls.
I, PAUL OSWALD WOLF, of Laubegast, near Dresden, Saxony, Publisher, 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 a blotting paper roll formed by winding a strip or
length of blotting paper upon a leel carried in a fork extension of a handle
The two ends of the ioll aie closed up and held sufficiently firmly together by
means of glue, paste, or gum, or paper discs are struck one to each end and
adapted to tear off spally as the used portion of the blotting paper is unwound
for tearing off, leaving the remaining portion of the roll intact and so on until
it is completely unwound The 1oll is operated from the handle
In the accompanying drawing Fig 1 is a perspective view of the blotting
paper roll or pad Fig 2 a side view of the same with the blotting paper roll
in section Figs. and 4 are plan views, the latter with a used portion of the
roll unrolled ready for tearing off
a is the reel or spindle, 6 the handle from which extends a fork c in which
the reel 18 mounted, d the blotting paper roll, thin paper discs stuck one
on each end of the roll and adapted to tear awar spirally as the blotting
paper is unwound after use, or instead of the paper dise the firm holding
together of the roll may be secured by making cross cuts in the ends of the foll
and filling these cuts with the binding material
The stip of blotting paper of which the roll proper 19 formed may advan-
tageously be used for advertising purposes in the whole of its length so that
when a used portion & torn off there will always appeal a fresh and clean
advertising space, for instance as shewn in Figs 3 and 4

Improvements in Writing Pens.
I, GEORGE MALPASS, of No. 1211, Spring Garden Street, in the City and
County of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, Manu-
facturer, 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 improvement in pens and consists of a lip which
is adapted to limit the extent of insertion of the pen in the holder and provide
means for the convenient extraction or removal of the pen therefrom.
In the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 represents a top or plan view of a pen embodying my invention.
Figure 2 represents a central longitudinal section thereof.
Figures represents a top or plan view of a pen embodying another form of
my invention.
Figure 4 represents a central longitudinal section thereof.
Figure 5 represents a side elevation illustrating the manner of extracting or
removing the pen from a holder.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings A designates a pen which excepting the feature of
my invention applied thereto is of the usual construction.
B designates a lip on the body of the pen, preferably the back thereof, the
same producing a well defined projection on said body the preferred construction
of which being integral with the body, occasioned by forming a U-shaped or
equivalent slot in the body and turning out the material within said slot, the
result being the lip B. it being seen that when the pen is inserted in the sleeve C
of the pen holder, said lip limits the insertion owing to its abutment against said
sleeve.
Again when the pen is to be removed or extracted from the holder, the lip is
placed against any object, as for instance the edge of a desk D. and the holder
is drawn back thus clearing itself of the pen as will be apparent on inspection of
Figure 5.
The lip is placed in a rearwardly inclined position, whereby it is better enabled
to endure the strain to which it may be subjected during the operation of removing
the pen from the holder, and it will take firmer hold of the object D, while the
extent of its projection from the body is less than if formed at a right angle there-
with.
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 pen provided with an outwardly-projecting lip
2nd A pen provided with an outwardly-projecting lip on the back thereof.
d 1 non provided with an outwardly-projecting lin integral thanamith

page_text: 4th. A pen provided with a rearwardly extending lip projecting beyond the face
of the body thereof.
5th. A pen having a lip which is integral with the same and turned-up there-
from.

Improved Flame Spreader for Petroleum Round-burners.
I, CARL HOLY, Lamp Manufactory, 23, Oranienstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 spreader, which forms the object of this invention, is illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing, Fig. 1 being an elevation of the spreader itself, and Fig. 2 a
vertical section of the same in combination with a petroleum round-burner.
The spreader consists of a perforated cylindrical casing a with an upper covering 6
and an indentation c in the lower part. The covering 6 projects over the casing a
and is bent downwards on the outer edge b' where it is furnished with one or more
rows of perforations d. The indentation c may be of curved or angular form and
is furnished all around with openings e, of any shape, circular, slot-like or other-
wise. The casing a fits quite tightly into the wick tube f and rests on a ledge g
therein.
The spreader has a double effect. By means of the perforated bent edge b¹ a
circular space is created, in which a part of the air of combustion flowing to the
centre collects, and is super-heated, and as this air flows through the perforations &
into the upper portion of the flame, it imparts to the flame great steadiness and
illuminating power. The indentation enables the air of combustion, which is
still cold, to pass through the openings e into the wick tube f, and cool the sides
of the same, whereby the wick h is protected against partial premature carbonising.
In all former burners with spreaders, the inserted tube or casing a of which fits
tightly to the wick tube f, the upper part of the wick tube in consequence of the
double thickness of metal becomes very hot and thereby causes a premature car-
bonising of the part of the wick lying thereon underneath the actual edge of the
flame. Thereby, the absorbing power of the wick, at this spot is diminished, and
the full illuminating power cannot be obtained. The spreader here described over-
comes this difficulty in a successful manner by cooling, through the medium of
the indentation c, whilst, at the same time it increases the illuminating power by
superheating the air of combustion through the agency of the perforated bent
edge b¹.
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:
I. A flame spreader for petroleum round burners, with an upper covering b,
the projecting outer edge 6 of which is bent downwards and furnished with per-

page_text: 2. A flame spreader for petroleum round burners according to Claim 1, the
perforated inserted tube or casing a of which, inside the wick tube f is furnished
with perforated indentation.

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Watches.
I, JOHN GANTER, of 11, Queen Street, Morley, near Leeds, in the County of
York, Watchmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of. my invention is to construct or convert watches to go from
one day to seven or eight days or for a longer period if required with one
winding up.
In converting one day watches to seven or eight day watches I employ two
new main springs and barrels in place of the old spring and barrel, and at the
back of the centre wheel I place an extra wheel which connects the two barrels ;.
the rest of the watch consists of trains of wheels with the ordinary English
lever mechanism.
In new watches the same additions are made to the parts now in use.
Improvements in the Construction of Watches.
I, JOHN GANTER, of 11, Queen Street, Morley, near Leeds, in the County of
York, Watchmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement;-
My invention relates to the construction or conversion of a watch to go for.
seven or eight days, or for a longer period if required, with one winding up,
and is applicable either to keyless or key-winding watches.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING.
Fig. 1 is a rear elevation showing my invention applied to a watch.
In the ordinary one-day or 30-hours watch, a single main-spring and barrel
is geared direct to the centre pinion of the watch.
According to my invention I employ two main-springs and barrels (or spring
wheels) A A of suitable power, in lieu of the single main-spring and barre!.
The said barrels A A (which enclose the said main-springs) are connected by
and drive the pinion B of an extra or intermediate wheel C, the said inter-

page_text: mediate wheel C being placed behind the centre wheel D so as to gear with and
drive the centre pinion E; the rest of the watch consisting of trains of wheels
with the ordinary English, Swiss, American, or other mechanism.
By substituting two new main-springs and barrels for the old spring and
barrel, and adding the intermediate wheel C, my invention may be readily
applied for converting existing one-day watches into seven or eight day watches;
in new watches the same additions are made to the parts hitherto in use.
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:
In a watch the combination with the centre wheel D having centre pinion E,
of the spring barrels (or spring wheels) A, A, and the intermediate wheel C,
having pinion B, substantially as, and for the purpose, shown and described.

Improvement in the Hermetic Sealing of Tins Containing Preserved Goods.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 16th Mar., 1899-Accepted, 22nd Apr., 1899
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in the Hermetic Sealing of Tins Containing Preserved
Goods.
We, GEORGE FARQUHAR, and ROBERT NORTH, both of 12, Shenton Street, Old
Kent Road, in the County of London, Food Preservers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement;-
Our invention relates to the hermetic sealing of tins or metal receptacles con-
taining preserved goods in partial vacuum. In soldering up the air holes in
tins as at present made the heat of the iron prejudicially affects the contents.
This is more especially the case when the contents are in contact with the cover
or lid and particularly when such contents are soft or liquid. In such cases the
heat of the iron not only causes them to spurt through the hole but damages their
quality.
The object of our improvement is to provide means for soldering up the air
escape hole with ease and without any liability to injuring the contents.
We will describe our invention and the manner in which we effect the same in
reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a part sectional
elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan of a tin having our invention applied thereto.
According to our invention we form by stamping or otherwise on the tin or
receptacle T at the place where the air escape hole is to be made a raised part
such as r, the top of which wherein the air escape hole is made is well above the
general level of the cover t. Thus the contents of the receptacle lie always below
such raised up part r. Consequently when the soldering iron is applied to scal
the hole h, the contents are sufficiently far from same as not to be affected
thereby.
The raised part is or may be of semicircular form shown or of coned, pyramidal
or segmental or other suitable shape in cross-section; and the hole may, if desired
be somewhat countersunk, the better to receive the solder.
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 improvement in the hermetic sealing of tins containing preserved goods,
which consists in forming on the receptacle a raised part in which the air-escape
hole is made, as and for the purposes set forth.
