Figured Fabrics.
We, JOSEPH RILEY, WALTER BOND and JOHN THOMAS BOND all of the Milton
Mill, Mule Street, Haulgh near Bolton in the County of Lancaster 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:
This Invention relates to figured quilts and similar figured fabrics which are
ordinarily woven with two yarn beams and with successive picks or series of picks
of fine and of coarse weft. The warp from one of the beams is employed in the
production of the figure and is called "face"yarn the warp from the other beam is
employed in forming the ground, and is called the " stitching" yarn. Various
combinations of numbers of the ends of the face and stitching yarns respectively have
been employed, but they have in all cases either been equal, or two to one, and the
fabric has consequently had a uniform or comparatively uniform appearance in
the figured and plain portions respectively.
Our Improvements have for their object to produce a distinct and more pleasing
appearance in the fabric and we accomplish this by using a warp containing a larger
number of ends of stitching yarn than have heretofore been employed, but not more
than four such ends or threads, to one end or thread or to two ends or threads of face
yarn. When we employ four ends of stitching yarn together, we alternate the series
of four ends with a series of two ends of face yarn, and when we employ three ends
of stitching yarn we use one end of face yarn in combination with each set or series
of three ends of stitching yarn.
The warp may be upon one beam only but we prefer to use two beams as is usual
in weaving similar fabrics when the stitching yarn is wound upon one beam and the
face yarn upon the other beam. The weft may be alike throughout or one or more
picks of coarse or face weft may be alternated with one or more picks of fine or
ground weft, as may be required by the pattern or design of the fabric or by
the effect which it is desired to produce.

page_text: 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
(1) In the Manufacture of figured quilts and similar figured fabrics, the com-
bination and arrangement of three warp ends of stitching yarn with one end of face
yarn or alternatively, of four ends of stitching yarn with two ends of face yarn ;
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.
(2) As an Improved article of manufacture; a figured quilt or similar figured
fabric having in the warp, four ends of stitching yarn alternating with two ends
of face yarn, or three ends of stitching yarn alternating with one end of face yarn ;
substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Construction of Nails, Brads, and the like.
We, GEORGE HOWARD MOATE, Engineer, and JOHN MILLER MCKINNON, Tailor,
both of No. 507 Commercial Road, London, in the County of Middlesex, 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 the construction of nails, brads and the
like, and has for its object to produce nails that can be easily driven into wood or
similar material, but cannot possibly be pulled out whether by using pinchers, pliers,
wrenches or the like, without the exertion of very considerable force, and consequent
damage to the material.
And in order that our invention may be more fully understood, we have shown the
same in the accompanying sheet of Drawings in which Figure 1 is an elevation of
our improved nail and Figures 2 and 3 are elevations of modified forms of our
invention.
A is an ordinary square English nail such as are used by carpenters, joiners and
others, upon each side of which we form in the course of manufacture in any suitable
manner, a series of superposed depressions d in a step-like form as clearly shewn.
Or we form such depressions on one side only of the nail as shewn in Figure 2, or
again on one of the edges of the same as shewn in Figure 3.
Our invention is applicable to all kinds of nails, brads, french nails, pins and the
like whether square or round, and by its means a nail which can be just as easily
driven into any kind of material as heretofore cannot be extracted therefrom without
the intervention of great force, and hence forms a perfect and unwrenchable band or
tie between two or several pieces of wood or other material.

page_text: Having thus 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 :-
Forming a series of superposed depressions on nails, brads and similar articles, in
order to enhance the tenacity or fixing power thereof, substantially as and for the
purpose described.

tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has reference to the top bars of kitchen fenders, ashes pains, and tidies,
and other like articles which top har has usually been made flat, with the front corner
thereof ground away; but in practice it is found that a top har so made is frequently
a sonres of injury to persons coming in contact with it, or children falling upon it.
To obviate this is the object of my invention, and this accomplish by forming the
top part and front edge of the top bar with uger or other form of moulding,
which will be much less liable to bruise, whilst the appearance thereof is very much
improved, and easy to clean.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now mako
reference to the accompanying sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof, wherein A,
in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, represents a section of my improved top bar, which is made
serre to the fender, ashes pan, or other article by being rivettel or otherwi-o
fastened to the bracket B after which the brackets Bare fastened to the fender
rivets a.
by
The age or other moulding and top flat parts are made from one piece of metal and
they are formed by placing flat bar of hot iron metal through rollers having
recesses made in them to produce the required shape.
By forming top bars in the manner herein shewn and described, the parts are
strengthened and improved in ap; earance and liability to bruise when knocked against,
very much lessened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
Forming the top bars of fenders, ashes pans, tidies, and other like articles with
an ogee or other form of moulding in manner substantially as heroin shewn and
described.

is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
In the construction and adaptation of an ordinary Fish plate or plates of metal
bent in the form of a C spring or springs hardened and tempered or otherwise with a
swell in the centre on the upper and lower edges.
The object of my invention is to secure constant pressure at the rail ends and hold
them rigidly in position by use of plate or plates bent from a straight direction as an
elastic body, as shown at Fig. 1. and by being wider in the centre at D D as show
in drawing Fig. 1. for the better support of the rail ends.
The spring plates have two special advantages, firstly, when tightened up as shown
at B, B in drawing fig. 4. they give constant pressure to the rail ends strengthening
and preventing oscillation and vibration secondly, the springs take up any infinitesimal
wearing which is continually going on by wear and corrosion, and therefore more
liability to become loose.
Fig. 2. shows two or more layers of plates before being applied to the rails.
Fig. 3. shows the plate or plates as applied to the rails before tightening up.
Fig. 4. shows the plate or plates when in position secured to the rails by bolts and

Improvements in Tooth-ploks.
I, KARL MORITZ HELLWIG, Apothecary, of Berlin in the German Empire, (4 Koch
Strasse) do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 toothpick which serves not only as heretofore customary
for cleaning the teeth but at the same time disinfects the mouth and teeth and keeps
the same fragrant.
When
These toothpicks, made of any suitable kind of wood, are placed into any suitable
spirituous aromatic solution and left therein say for a week to a fortnight and then
an antiseptic liquid is forced into the wood by pressure. The antiseptic (say
Salycillic acid) now fills the pores of the wood and becomes fixed therein.
such a toothpick is used, say after a meal a pleasant fragrance becomes perceptible
in the mouth and moreover the antiseptic comes in contact with the cavities or
recesses of the teeth and with the gums and is by the saliva carried to the other
parts of the mouth and it will also disinfect any food remnants that remain between
the teeth. Thus the principal condition for the preservation of the teeth is pulled
that is to say the formation of the tooth-fungus Liptotheia buccalis and caries are
prevented, and if the teeth are already carious continued use will cure the same.
This improved toothpick, as will be readily understood has three important
properties, mechanical cleaning of the teeth, aromatisation of the mouth and disinfection
of the teeth & mouth.
The last named effects make it desirable to use this toothpick not only immediately
after meals but also frequently during the day as it affords a convenient and pleasant
means to maintain or re-establish the health of the teeth.
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 I
claim :-
Toothpicks saturated with a spirituous aromatic solution and impregnated with an
antiseptic liquid, substantially as set forth.

I, WILLIAM EDDINGTON, of 17 and 18 Railway Approach, London Bridge, S.E.,
Mechanical 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 :-
My Invention relates to edge runner or mortar mills, and has for its object to
render such machines readily portable without the necessity of dismounting any of
its parts. This I accomplish by mounting the mill upon a base frame adapted either
to rest on the ground when the mill is at work or to be raised off the same and
supported on wheels for travelling, the frame being provided with gear for raising or
lowering the mill, as required.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which figure 1 is a side
olevation of the portable mill, with the near wheels removed, and figure 2 is a plan
of same. Figure 3 is a detail view. The same letters of reference serve for like
parts in all the figures.
A is the pan, B the edge runners constructed and operating in the ordinary way,
the centre pivot C on which the pan rotates being mounted upon a horizontal base
frame D. This frame is preferably of A shape in plan and is constructed of iron
girders suitably braced together. Upon this frame is also mounted the upright E
which holds one end of the edge runner shaft which at an intermediate point passes
through, and is held by the centre post C. The frame D is hung by screw suspension
rods F from the front and rear axles, the screw at the front acting also as the king
bolt or swivelling centre for the fore wheels, this screw being of course at the apex of
the frame. Nuts G on these screws bear on bridges H fixed, those at the rear
upon the axle and the one at the front on the swivelling plate, so that by means of
these nuts the whole mill may be raised for travelling or lowered on to the ground for
working.
In order to relieve the threads of the screws of shocks when travelling, cotters I
are passed through slots in the screws which slots when the mill is raised for travelling
come just above the axle and immediately below the bridges H, so that the cotters

page_text: may be passed through the bridges and take a bearing on the axle and when so
inserted are made to take the whole of the weight by slackening the nuts. K is a
guy rod or chain to steady the king bolt.
When lowered, the frame D rests directly upon the ground, the machine then
standing on a firm foundation for work.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I would observe that I do
not limit myself to the use of screw gear as other means may be provided for
raising and lowering the mill and I declare that what 1 claim is :-
An edge runner or mortar mill mounted on a supporting or hase frame hung holow
the axles of travelling wheels, substantially as specified and provided with gear whereby
the base frame may be made to rest directly on the ground for work or be raised for
transport, as described.

tops or not.
For purposely extinguishing the flame, a small Lever any shape but preferably L
shaped, passes through the Burner, the vertical part being behind one of the Caps or
Shutters; the said Lever on being pushed or turned closes one of the Caps or Shutters
and extinguishes the flame, both Caps or Shutters may be made to close over the wick
by a different shaped Lever, but the closing of one only is necessary to extinguish
the flame.
The action of the Invention is as follows:-When the Lamp is alight, or in an
upright position, the two Caps or Shutters are then open, and rest in position with
their upper parts against the inside of Dome of Burner, forming a Vas aforesaid,
but on the Lamp being tilted or upset, the Caps or Shutters close over the
top of wick automatically by their own weight and extinguish the flame.

I GEORGE WIMPEY of Hammersmith in the County of Middlesex, Contractor, do
hereby declare the nature of my Invention for AN IMPROVED JOINT FOR STONEWARE,
GAS AND OTHER SIMILAR PIPES to be as follows
My Invention relates to pipes and joints and is an improved method of making the
joint between two pipes, stoneware, metal or other one end of the pipe is provided
with the socket A B of the ordinary depth and on its inner surface are two grooves E.
one on each side one part of each groove being horizontal and the other part vertical.
The other or spigot end of the pipe has a bevelled collar as J also two projections or
studs F, one on each side of the pipe. When the spigot end of one pipe is placed into
the socket of another the two studs are fitted into the horizontal part of the grooves E
and are pushed along the same until they reach the vertical part when by turning the
pipe to the right the two studs F pass along to the ends of the vertical grooves and
thus the pipes are perfectley keyed together, a small layer of clay as at I being placed
to form a temporary joint.
In order to make the joint complete and perfectley airtight and watertight three
vents or inlets are made near the top of the socket as at H and these inlets lead to a
space between the spigot and socket as shewn at CD; into one of the larger of these
inlets is poured liquid portland or other cement until it has completely travelled round
the space and out at the other large vent on the other side the air escaping at the
smallest or central vent and thus is formed a perfectly sound joint airtight & water-

of felt or similar material having capillary qualities is pressed against the journal to
be lubricated and the other hangs loosely in the lubricant at the bottom of the box.
Up to this time the means used for holding the felt against the journal have been
actuated by springs, which speedily become " crystallized by the jarring when
applied to ordinary bearings or shafting and by means of weighted devices, the con-
struction of which is complicated and the setting up of them in the axle-boxes or
journal bearings difficult.
My invention consists of a movable frame slipped into place very easily and
requiring no fastening to hold it in place, carrying a spindle on which are mounted
levers weighted at one end and carrying the lubricating-strips at the other, the construc-
tion of the levers insuring a constant steady contact of the strips against the journal.
For full comprehension, however, of the invention reference must be had to the
annexed drawings, in which-
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of a railway-car axle-box, showing the
journal and lubricating devices in side elevation; and Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical
section of such box and the journal, showing the lubricating devices in end elevation.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
A is the axle-box; B, the axle ; C, a fraine shaped to be easily inserted into the
axle-box, and which will rest on the bottom, its ends forming supports C¹ for a centra
rod D.
E are levers, preferably of the shape shown, fulcrumed on the central rod D
weighed at E and slotted at E E³.
FF are strips of felt or like material forced through the slots E and E³, which are
of such size as will hold them firmly in place.

page_text: It will be seen that the weighted ends E¹ of the levers E E must necessarily hold
the upper portion of the felt firmly against the journal until the substance is worn
away.
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 :-
:-
1. In a car-axle lubricator, the combination, with the axle, of movable frame C,
rod D, levers E E, and strips-F, as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In a journal bearing, the combination with the journal or shafting of the movable
frame C, rod D, levers E E, the strips F, as and for the purposes set forth.

Improved Truss Pads.
ALFRED LIVESLEY of New Mills in the County of Derby, Chemist, and GEORGE
CHARLESWORTH, of Hayfield in the County of Derby Agent do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention consists of a springless pad made of wood, bone, ivory, vulcanite, cork
or any other material or materials sufficiently rigid to bear the necessary strain
brought to bear upon them by the supporting bands or straps, which are so constructed
and applied as to secure in any position of the body an uniform pressure upon the part
affected.
The said pad I make of a triangular shape, of various sizes and thicknesses. Its
inner surface i.e. that surface which when the pad is in position is next the body I
make convex i.e. rounded from its centre to the angles. The outer surface I make
either concave or plain. I fix a brass stud at the right and left angles of the pad to
which I attach a band that passes round the body. I fix a stud also at the lower angle
of the pad, to which I attach a thigh strap from the back part of the body band which
gives the required amount of pressure and secures the pad in its position.
Noted the 21st dow of March 1888.

The buckled plates are made of the form shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the sides
or fillets being at right angles to the general plane from which the buckled plate
springs. Figure 1 is a plan and Figure 2 is a side elevation of the plate. We make
the improved plates in two ways (1) by pressing them into the required form between
dies and (2) by casting them in moulds. When the plates are pressed they will be
operated upon hot or cold according to the nature of the metal used. The fillets are
made of suitable widths to allow of the plates being rivetted together through them
or rivetted to other parts of a structure.
The form of the plates in plan may be varied to suit the purposes to which they
are applied.

1, LEVI JAMES NICOLLS Robertsbridge in the County of Sussex Cricket Bat 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 is a novel and complete Improvement in the construction of Cricket
Bat handles having gutta percha inserted from the end of handles so as to run through
the handles whether the handle is made of cane or wood with a series of curves
running towards sides of handle with flat ways of the Blade. The handles are shaped
to various sizes and then the space is cut with a saw through the handles with as
many curves as may be necessary according to size of handle. There in is the solid
gutta percha inserted as shown on drawing. There is no necessity in glueing or
cementing gutta percha in handle.
As hereafter is the handle bound with bat twine. The gutta percha is either
inserted before or after the handle is attached to blade.
Letter A on drawing notes the commencement of insertion B first curve C second
curve and also in like manner as many as may be necessary.

page_text: I, WILLIAM WATKINS, off 177 La Salle Street, Chicago, in the County of Cook and
State of Illinois, United States of America, Manufacturer, 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 putty used for cementing metallic joints, and has for
its special object to make an article which will remain in a plastic form. Engineers
complain of the putty now in use, because it requires several hours preparation just
before it is applied, and then must be used in a few days, or it will become worthless.
By my invention these two objections are entirely obviated.
I manufacture my iron cement or putty as follows:-I mix together one part of
sweet oil and one part of molasses, then stir in this mixture the following ingredients
in a comminuted or powdered state: barytes, one part; Venetian red, one part ;
plumbago, one and one-half parts; paris-white, one and one half part; yellow ochre,
one and one-half part; litharge, one part; red lead, one part.
This compound, when thus prepared, forms a plastic mass of the usual consistence
of putty, and which will remaim so for years.
My iron cement or putty is especially adapted for packing steam-joints, saves much
time which is now lost in making and fitting gaskets with rubber packings, hardens
quickly when applied to a hot joint, and may be used with great advantage wherever
red lead or putty is employed for filling or caulking joints in engines or boilers.
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
An iron cement or putty formed of sweet-oil and molasses mixed with barytes,
Venetian red, plumbago, paris white, yellow-ochre, litharge, and red lead, in about the
proportions set forth.

Improvements in Hinges.
I, LEONARD BAXTER of Falcon Works, Wood Street Willenhall, in the County
of Stafford, General Stamper, Piercer and Die Sinker do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to Hinges which are used in connection with hooks, commonly
known as Hooks and Hinges, and consists in turning over the end which receives the
hook, and rivetting it upon the lath of the hinge instead of welding it, which is the
usual practice, my plan adding not only to the simplicity of making, but very much
also to their strength, and is applicable to other description of Hinges, than those
specified herein.

Improvements in Hinges.
I, LEONARD BAXTER of Falcon Works, Willenhall in the County of Stafford General
Stamper, Piercer and Die-sinker 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:—
Whereas the usual practice of making hinges. which swing on hooks is for the eye
of the hinge which receives the hinge-hook to be formed and then that part of the
lath turned over is welded on to the greater length of lath, but in this my Invention I
purpose to rivet or to screw instead of to weld that portion of the lath which is turned
over on to the greater length whereby time and expense of manufacture are lessened,
and the hinge is rendered much stronger.
This method of manufacture is also applicable to other forms of hinge than that
specified therein.
The manner in which my Invention is carried out is shown in the accompanying
sheet of Drawings.
Lis the lath of the hinge, one end of which, L', has been turned over to form the
" eye "which fits the hinge-hook, H. Previous to my Invention, L' was welded
upon L which is continuous with it.
S and R show positions of rivets or screws which secure, L¹ upon L.
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 :-
Rivetting, or securing by screws that part of an hinge which is turned over to
receive the hook unto the lath or longer part of the hinge.
