A Chocolate Biscuit.
We, RICHARD CADBURY and GEORGE CADBURY, trading as Cadbury
Brothers, of Bournville, near Birmingham, Cocoa and Chocolate 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: -
The object of our invention is to produce what we term a "chocolate biscuit."
The chocolate biscuits constructed in accordance with our present invention
consist of one, two or more biscuits surrounded by chocolate, which, whilst possessing
all the nourishing and food sustaining properties of ordinary biscuits are very
palatable and will serve as a very nourishing and tempting article of diet for
travellers, invalids and others.
In order that the nature of our invention may be the better understood we have
appended the accompanying drawing illustrative of one of our chocolate biscuits,
partly in section.
A is the chocolate portion which surrounds or envelopes the biscuits B, and, if
desired, is formed on its exterior surface with any suitable fancy ornamentation or
decoration.
It will be seen that in the arrangement shown the chocolate biscuit assumes the
form of a rectangular tablet, the dimensions we prefer to adopt for biscuits of this
shape being half an inch thick, two inches wide, and three inches and a half long.
We however do not confine ourselves to any particular shape and size, nor to the
number and arrangement of biscuits embedded within the chocolate.
We are aware that prior to the date of our present invention biscuits containing
the cocoa bean as the principal constituent part-after being ground and mixed
with the other ingredients in the usual manner to form the biscuit-have already
been manufactured, and we therefore make no claim in respect of the admixture or
incorporation of said cocoa bean, when ground, with the biscuit.
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 :-
First A chocolate biscuit constructed substantially as herein set forth and
shown.
Second In a chocolate biscuit the employment of a surrounding cover or
envelope A of chocolate containing a layer or layers of biscuit B substantially as
and for the purposes specified.

I, GEORGE ERNEST LANCELOTT of Tenby Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick, Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a simple and secure fastening for
bracelets and other articles of jewellery, dog collars, curb chains, satchels, bags, and
the like.
According to my invention, I form the fastening for bracelets and chains
preferably in the form of a padlock, having a spring actuated catch pivotted to the
frame, and of such shape that a projecting point or hook thereof takes into a recess,
slot or hole in the bow near its end.
The catch is capable of being operated to release the bow by turning a flap on
the front of the lock, which flap corresponds to the cover of the keyhole in an
ordinary padlock, and is attached to the pivot of the catch.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is sectional view of my improved fastening closed (suitable for a bracelet).
Fig. 2 sectional view of same open.
Fig. 3 front elevation of same closed.

Improvements in Braces.
I ALEXANDER JAMES ELI of the firm of Hughes Eli & Hughes, Patent
Agent, of 76 Chancery Lane London W.C. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, which invention has been communicated to me by A. Weidenbusch of
Darmstadt, Germany, Manufacturer 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 braces for holding up or suspending
trousers and consists in the arrangements of parts whereby the trouble of un-
buttoning and rebuttening the two holding loops or tabs at the back of the braces
is entirely avoided.
In order that the following particular description shall be well understood there
is annexed hereto a sheet of illustrative drawings which will be hereinafter
referred to like letters referring to similar parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a general view of a pair of braces made according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a face view detached of the front tabs and buckle attachment
therefor.
Fig. 3 is a side view of Fig. 2.
The two webbing straps or bands A are connected with the two double loops or
tabs B, destined for the four front buttons in such way that at the point D by
detaching the hook or ring the said tab holders B can be perfectly separated from
the shoulder straps or bands A. A cord F, is attached to the clips E, forming
thus a lengthening or connecting piece of the two bands A. A loose ring G is
suspended upon the cord F.
The unbuttoning and rebuttoning of the two loops or tabs C, at the back is
rendered unnecessary in the following manner, that is to say, in lowering the
trousers the straps or bands A, detached at the point D slip down over the
shoulders along with the trousers but no further than the cord F which will
extend across the breast, will permit. The straps A, will readily be moved aside
with the other clothes.
In lifting the trousers the two straps A, will by pulling upon the cord F, be
drawn up over the shoulders and can be reattached at D, by the holding
portions B. The ring G serves to afford a convenient hold of the cord F, and to
slightly weight the cord.
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 :-
In braces whereof the front tabs such as B, are attachable to and detachable
from the shoulder straps A, the combination therewith of the lengthening cord or
connecting piece F for holding together the forward ends of the straps A,
attached to the back tabs C, as and for the purpose herein set forth in reference to
and substantially as shown by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in the Insulation of Electrical Lamp and other
Fittings.
I, HENRY CHARLES GOVER of No. 61 Tiernay Road, Streatham Hill in the
County of Surrey, 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 :-—
In electrical lamp and other fittings, wherever it is necessary to provide against
short circuiting or leakage of current, the conductors have to be insulated or
protected by the intervention of some non-conducting material between them and
such metallic parts as may be near them. Insulation for these purposes is usually
effected by introducing suitable pieces of non-conducting material, separate from
the metallic or other material of the fittings themselves.
Now, according to my invention, I avoid the difficulties which often attend the
introduction of separate insulators and the risks of short circuiting owing to their
being accidentally displaced, by rendering the metallic parts of the fittings
themselves non-conducting wherever insulation is required.
For this purpose, I coat such metallic parts with enamel of a vitreous non-
conducting character of any known kind, capable of standing considerable changes
of temperature without cracking or scaling. In some cases instead of thus
enamelling the metallic parts of the fittings themselves, I introduce where required
thin linings of enamelled metal.
Enamelling compositions suitable for the purposes of my invention may be
prepared as follows :
1-Flint 6 parts, borax 3 parts, red lead 1 part and tin oxide 1 part. These
materials are pulverised, mixed together, heated until fused and then thrown into
cold water. One part of the product thus obtained is mixed with two parts of
pulverised bone and sufficient water to form a paste which is applied to the article
to be enamelled.
2--Pulverised or calcined bone 32 parts, potter's clay 16 parts, feldspar 14 parts
and potash 4 parts are pulverised together, heated and thrown into cold water.
the resultant matter thus obtained are added 16 parts pulverised flint, 5 parts
To
bone ashes and 3 parts calcined quartz with sufficient water to form a paste.
The article to be enamelled is coated with a thin layer of either of these pastes
then placed in a muffle and the temperature gradually raised sufficiently to vitrify
the composition.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
ion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
In electrical lamp and other fittings, effecting insulation where necessary by using
enamelled metal for constructing the fittings, or parts or linings thereof.

Improvements in Fastenings for Doors, Gates, and the like.
We, OWEN WILLMER WHITE, of St. Pancras Iron Works, St. Pancras Road,
Kings Cross, in the County of Middlesex, Engineer, and JAMES PAINTER WILLIAMS
of No. 60 Charrington Street, Oakley Square, in the County of Middlesex,
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 :-
This invention relates to fastenings for doors and gates and the like particularly
those for stables, loose boxes, yards and places occupied by horses, one of the main
objects of the invention being to avoid all sharp or angular projections such as
might injure animals bearing or rubbing against the fastening.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is an elevation partly in section and
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of a fastening according to this invention, by which a
gate is secured to a round post and
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan shewing the position of the striking parts and the bolt
when the gate is open.
In the face of the gate A is morticed a lock containing a spring bolt B which
has a side notch at engaged, when the gate is open, by a spring tumbler C which
holds the bolt B back, preventing its end from projecting beyond the edge of the
gate.
On the gate post D is fixed an adjustable plate P to which are hinged two
picces E and F which are connected by a link G.
A spring H bears on the pin at one end of the link G so as to force the parts
into the position shewn in Fig. 3 when the gate is open, these parts then presenting
a rounded front without any sharp or angular projections.
As the gate is being closed the face of the gate moving along the rounded face
of F presses it inwards, which has the effect of causing the end of the piece E to
project and to catch the end c of the tumbler C, moving that tumbler so as to
release the bolt B which thereupon springs into notches in F and P fastening the
gate as shewn in Fig. 2. For opening the gate the bolt B is withdrawn by an
arm K moved by a key knob or other suitable handle, and as the gate leaves the
post, the parts resume the position shewn in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A fastening for a door or gate or the like constructed and operating substantially
as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

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 :-
A circular brush marked A, having a hollow handle marked B, through which
the spindle or shaft "C" projects. This handle "B" forms the bearings for the
shaft, and is lubricated by means of sponges or wick, placed in a recess of
same.
The circular brush "A" is fixed to shaft "C," and shaft "C" is connected to
a flexible shaft "D" which may be driven by power or hand. An arrangement
is also provided, whereby compressed air may be used to blow away the dust etc.
in cleaning, also water may be used in the same way. Both the compressed air
and water passes through the flexible shaft D and is thus distributed either
through the brush "A" or out of the end of shaft "C."
The method of using the mechanical apparatus for cleaning horses and cattle is
as follows
The handle B is held in the hand of the operator, the apparatus being then set
in motion by means of power applied through the flexible shaft. D.
The revolving
brush is then passed along the skin of the animal being cleaned, thus removing
all dirt, loose hairs etc., adhering to the skin. To increase the efficiency of this
machine I use compressed air, or water, which passing through the flexible shaft,
is so distributed through the revolving brush" as to remove the dirt as
quickly as it is loosened by the action of the brush "A." Water is used to soften
any dirt adhering to the skin, so that it may be more easily removed by the
action of the revolving brush "A."

cigarette by gumming or other suitable manner a strip of paper of the required
thickness, rendered inflammable by the known processes or coated with the mixture
of which the well known fusees are prepared. The said paper is to be provided
with the necessary quantity of ordinary igniting composition which when rubbed
will light the paper and consequently the tobacco.

An Improvement for Lighting Cigarettes.
I RICHARD BRUNO ROXBY of No. 21 Wolverton Gardens Hammersmith
London W. 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 :-
My invention has for its object to provide a means whereby cigarettes may be
lighted, whilst hunting, yachting or under other circumstances without the aid of a
match. To accomplish this purpose I take a narrow strip of paper of the desired
thickness previously rendered inflammable by a suitable process or slightly coated
with the mixture of which the well known fusees are made. I then bend to a right
angle the ends of such strip of paper. I affix the paper thus formed to the
cigarette by inserting the above referred two ends between the cigarette paper and
the tobacco filling, keeping it in place by gumming or other suitable manner. The
said inflammable paper is provided with the necessary igniting composition which
when struck against a suitable substance will light the paper and subsequently the
tobacco.
It is obvious that by using only a narrow strip of paper, according to my
invention, less foreign matter is used than would be the case if other similar means
were employed, therefore the possibility of imparting any flavour to the tobacco is
greatly minimised which is a consideration important to smokers and at the same
time the cost of material per cigarette is reduced to a very low price, an advantage
from the commercial point of view.
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 affixing to a cigarette of a narrow strip of inflammable paper tipped with
igniting composition for the purpose and in the manner substantially as herein set
forth.

Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. That by the adoption of my Patent the inconvenience & annoyance caused
by the unintentional misappropriation of the wrong hat (which is so liable to take
place where there are a number of hats hung up together) will be entirely
obviated.
2nd. That the adoption of my Patent affords facilities for the identification of
the wearer should occasion arise such as in the case of the wearer being found
either dead, drunk, or otherwise incapacitated.
3rd. As most hat-leathers are now ornamented by some kind of gold-stamping
to give them a better appearance, my Patent serves the dual purpose of being
both ornamental & useful.

1st. Greater simplicity and cheapness in construction the various parts being
fewer and all held together by wire and rivets without the aid of solder."
2nd. Greater efficiency in the diffusion of the light as the rays are reflected and
thrown down and around by the angle formed in the bright tin or metal of
the sugar loaf shaped body which would not be the case if it were perpendicular.

CHARLES TERRY, of the firm of Herbert Terry and Sons, "Novelty
Redditch, 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 (see accompanying drawings):-
-
Fig. 1. A. B. pieces of metal flattened, at one end of each a hole is pierced or
drilled to admit of a rivet; the other end of each being bent to any required
shape, tapered and sharp pointed.
Fig. 2. another method of shapeing pierced ends of A. and B A being grooved
or cut at C. D flattened, making a dovetailed joint.
Fig. 3. showing hook complete, A. and B being fastened together by rivet E.
Take any suitable metal either round, flat, or of any convenient shape, from
which make two hooks, having any size of bend and length of shank required. The
shanks of the hooks can be round, flattened or otherwise shaped, and fastened
together (dovetailed or otherwise) with a rivet or anything equally suitable, thereby
making a hinge, either one or both of the hooks acting upon the rivet, thus con-
structing a perfect hinged cyclists trouser hook.
The hooks are quickly and easily adjusted and freely unhooked. The hinge
facilitates the unhooking and also prevents the points of the hooks pricking the leg
as the hinge readily gives and takes by any pressure brought to bear upon it, it
also allows of the hooks being folded or doubled up into a very small compass.
This hook is not only valuable as a trouser hook but is equally valuable as a
dress hook or looper, and suitable for all purposes requiring a small hook or
suspender.
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 and wish protected is :-
The construction of two (or more) hooks riveted or hinged together, and the
manner in which the hooks act upon the rivet to form a complete trouser (or dress)
hook as described.
