Soles of Boots.
1, CHARLES WILTON Cabinet Maker 118 High Street Shoreditch London in the
county of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has for its object to provide a simple, efficient and cheap method of
forming a "wear-resisting" arrangement for the Heels and Soles of Boots, Shoes or
other coverings for the feet. For this purpose I provide a peculiarly shaped Rivet or
Nail, which may be made in metal or other suitable substance, and may be made
either circular, square, oblong or other suitable wedge shape, with a centre pin. The
method of fixing the above is as follows. Holes are first punched or stamped into
the leather, or other material of the heel or sole by a punch specially prepared and
shaped for the purpose. The rivet or nail may then be driven tightly into the
prepared place. The part of the heel or sole most subjected to wear and tear can thus
easily be protected.

page_text: I, ROBERT THOMSON of 18 Bridge Street in the City of Aberdeen, India-Rubber
and Waterproof 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 :—
My invention relates to improvements in waterproof mantles and has for its
object so to form the arm holes as to make provision for greater freedom of move-
ment of the arms of the wearer and at the same time lessen the tendency to tear
at these parts to which the ordinary form of mantle is extremely liable.
In carrying out the invention in lieu of cutting slits in the body of the fabric to
form the arm holes I cut from each of the front edges of the mantle, as indicated
by figure 1, of the accompanying drawings, a piece of the shape shown in figure 2
or of like shape. At the part so shaped out I attach by solution or otherwise a
piece of the form shown by figure 3 in such wise that its straight edge marked A,
is in the line of the front edge of the mantle whilst the curved edge marked B, is
as shown by the dotted lines at B¹, overlapped by the cut edge of the main part of
the fabric the attachment of the inserted piece being made at the top and bottom
only as indicated by the dotted lines C, so that an opening is left between the
points of attachment for the passage of the arm.
By this improved formation the strain is taken up or comes upon the shoulders
of the mantle and liability to tearing at the armholes is obviated and in the event
of undue strain being brought to bear upon the joined parts resulting in the
severance or tearing of the inserted piece repair of the mantle is easily effected at
small cost.
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 waterproof mantle in which the arm holes are formed by cutting shaped pieces
out of the front or meeting edges and inserting other shaped pieces at the parts so
cut out substantially as herein described with reference to the drawings annexed.

page_text: I THOMAS HARRY ADES of The Cottage New Romney in the County of Kent
Warehouseman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to provide means for preventing a necktie or scarf,
or the band thereof, as the case may be, from riding up at the back of the neck
and it consists of a strip or length of tape or other suitable material secured at one
end to the shirt and provided at the other end with a button hole whereby it may
be fastened to the back button on the neck band of the shirt and form a loop.
through which the necktie or scarf is passed. This loop serves to hold down the
scarf or necktie and prevent it from projecting above the collar of the coat of the
wearer, and it is itself hidden from view. In addition to these advantages the
scarf or tie may be readily adjusted in position before it is secured by the loop, and
the scarf or tie can be put on and taken off without liability of damage. Moreover,
it is not necessary to provide each collar. with special means for retaining the scarf
or tie as is at present the case.

page_text: I, THOMAS HARRY ADES of The Cottage New Romney in the County of Kent
"Warehouseman 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 improved means for preventing a necktie or scarf (or
the band thereof in the case of a made up tie or scarf) from riding up at the back
of the neck; and it consists of a button-holed tab stitched to the back of the shirt
immediately below the neck band thereof, and adapted to be buttoned to the back
button or back stud of the neck band. In this position the tab lies across and
holds down the scarf or necktie and so prevents it from rising above the collar of
the coat, by which the tab is itself hidden from view. The collar is of course put
on and the scarf or tie adjusted in position before the tab is buttoned, or the tab
may first be buttoned and the tie or scarf then passed under the same. By the use
of this tab it is not necessary to provide each collar with special means for retaining
the scarf or tic, as is now commonly done.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this
Specification which illustrates the tab as applied to a shirt which opens at the
front, but it will be obvious that it is equally adapted for a shirt opening at back.
Figure 1 shews the tab unfastened and figure 2 the same as in use, a portion only
of the shirt and necktie being shewn.
a is the tab, of tape or other material stitched at. b to the body of the shirt and
having a button hole c which is to be buttoned on to the back button or stud d of
the neck-band after the collar and neck-tie. are put on, as shewn in figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what
I claim is :-
The combination with a shirt of a.button-holed tab adapted to button on to the
back button or stud of the neck band, in the manner and for the purpose specified;

page_text: I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane in the
County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to wheels for railway or tramway vehicles which are
constructed as I will describe referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 being
a front view and Fig. 2 a vertical section of a wheel according to this invention.
The rim having tread 1 and flange 2 is made with a central internal flange 3, and
the nave 4 has a corresponding external flange 5. To the flanges 3 and 5 are
secured by rivets 10 two annular plates 6, one on each side, each of those plates
having an outwardly projecting annular corrugation 8 preferably of elliptical
profile. By this construction, which is comparatively simple and inexpensive, a
high degree of strength and elasticity is obtained, and undue strains on the
material are avoided such as result from the use of plates having radial corruga-
tions or from that of annularly corrugated plates on which the rim is cast and
tends to shrink in cooling.
I make no general claim for a wheel consisting of a nave and rim connected by
annular plates, but, 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 construction and use of a wheel for railway or tramway vehicles, consisting
of a rim made with internal flange, a nave made with external flange, and a pair of
plates each made with an annular corrugation, and both rivetted to the flanges of
the rim and boss, substantially as herein described.

page_text: We CHARLES FREDERICK GRIMMETT and JOSEPH COOK both of Legge Lane
Birmingham in the County of Warwick Manufacturers do hereby declare the
nature of our 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 has for its object improvements in brackets for carring cornice
poles which are better adapted to meet varying requirements than those now in
use and thus a less number of sizes kept in stock would meet all the needs of
ordinary trade because one of our new brackets would be equal to say three sizes
of the old ones and besides this would answer the purpose of each size better than
the separate sizes could when made to the old pattern.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried in
practice we have appened hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which is shown one
example thereof which will make the principle sufficiently clear to enable other
designs to be carried out with facility and ease as the brackets may be made of
almost any shape or design and still meet the special requirement of great
adjustibility which is the main object hereof.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the bracket and cornice pole saddle showing the
latter in an intermediate position.
Figure 2 is a sectional elevation at A. B. looking towards the foundation
flange C.
Now it will be seen that the foundation or frame work of this bracket consists
of the double or other rib C and the top rib or ribs D terminating at the end ď¹
with a flange or boss for carrying the ornamental front cap E which may be
secured or otherwise fastened thereto but in the case shown by a tapped hole and
screw and may be made of any size or design.
The bracket may be filled in with any kind of ornamented fret work K according
to fancy.
The saddle M in which the cornice N would lie is mounted upon the D flanges
or ribs of the bracket as will be more clearly seen by reference to the section
Figure 2 and this is accomplished by forming under the said saddle or dovetailed
or other equivalent base P which turns or bevels or fits under the flanges D
sufficiently to hold it from lifting. This saddle will therefore slide along to any

page_text: intermediate position between C and d and may be set or fixed in any such
position by the set screw or other equivalent device R.
It will be obvious that the saddle P may be made in various ways and that
many plans may be adapted for securing it in various positions such for instance
as holes and a spring catch or notches in the edge and a catch which will occur
to practical minds to suit varying requirements.
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
we claim is :-
The improvements in brackets for carrying cornice poles of the adjustable
saddle M carried by the bracket upon the base P which is secured in various
positions by the screw or other means R substantially as and for the purpose
herein set forth.
MOVABLE SCREW-BUTTON
Year: 1886

page_text: I, JEAN AMBERNY, Merchant, 83-85, Rue Baudricourt Paris, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for THE MOVABLE SCREW-BUTTON and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The movable screw-button consists of:
1° A needle pointed screw, having at its inferior extremity a small plate to
receive & sustain the material to which it is to be applied.
2° The button head or top & tail containing a screw matrix, having underneath
a similar sustaining plate to the first one, & which bears on the outside of the
material, so that when the needle pointed screw, is introduced in the material
from the inside & the head or top containing the matrix inside its tail, is screwed
on it, the material is compressed between the two sustaining plates & the button
fixed in a solid & durable manner.
The movable button can be put in place instantaneously without any sewing &
displaced without leaving any trace in the material which has been subjected to its
application.
It can be placed, not only anywhere the common button is used, but also
anywhere its use should be considered preferable to the ancient mode of fastening.
The advantages the movable button presents with regard to all other systems
fabricated up to this day are:
Economy of time, solidity & commodiousness, recommending it specially for the
clothes of both sexes: drawers, breeches, waistcoats, coats, shirts, collars, wrist-
bands, dresses, dressing-gowns, ladies' boots, uniforms in general (military & civil)
outfits for abroad, gaiters, gentlemen's boots &c., &c.
The movable screw-button is the exclusive property of the inventor, as far as
the application of the needle-pointed screw & the sustaining plates to buttons are
concerned. The inventor should consider as counterfeit, any button, not of his
made, having for its base of system the needle pointed screw & the sustaining
plates, whatever might be its dimensions, model & material used for its fabrication;
metal, horn, bone, pearl-shell, ivory, wood, stuff &c., &c.

Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the said is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
5
1° The application to any kind of button provided with a tail containing a 10
screw matrix, of a needle pointed screw.
2° The sustaining plates to compress the material to which the button is to be
applied, thus fixing it in a solid & durable manner.

page_text: We, JOHN MILLINGTON, 50 Rice Lane, Walton, in the county of Lancaster Boiler
Maker and Engineer and HERBERT JONES, of 3 Cleveland Street Birkenhead in
the county of Chester Analytical Chemist 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 is the same as that for which provisional protection was applied
for July 31st, 1885 N° 9175, but as nothing has been done with the invention
during the interim, it has been decided to reissue it as a complete application, the
last day of the nine months provisional protection.
In boilers of the ordinary marine class with tubular furnaces, and return tubes
or flues, great expense and trouble is incurred in repairing the back tube plate and
adjacent parts owing to the difficulty of getting at them; now this invention is
designed to avoid this difficulty, and to at the same time cheapen the cost of the
boiler.
The invention is best described by aid of the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 shows a transverse section, taken one half through the tubes and
furnaces, and the other half behind the back plates of the combustion chambers
And Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of a boiler, made in accordance with the
invention,
In this, the back space, or in the case of double boilers the central diaphragm is
flanged at A, and the bottom space at B either with a gentle curve as shown, or
with other suitable arrangement for ending these spaces, and ordinary fire brick
bridges are placed in the flues. A preferably sloping bottom D of iron plate,
and firebrick or other suitable lining E is constructed as a bottom for the
combustion chamber. This bottom can be removed at any time, and thus the
combustion chamber and tube plate got at for repairs, and if necessary the entire
tube plate can be removed through the bottom of the combustion chamber. The
sloping bottom ending above the bottom of the back water space or central
diaphragm, a still mud depositing space F is formed there, which can be emptied
from time to time through an ordinary mud cock not shewn.

page_text: 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;
1st The improvement in steam boilers, which consists in forming them with
furnace tubes and combustion chambers as in ordinary marine boilers, but cutting
away the bottom and back spaces or diaphragm substantially as shown.
2nd The combination with a boiler such as described of the bottom D and
bridge C substantially as and for the purposes described.

I, WILLIAM BENNETT, Governor of Edinburgh City Poorhouse, Craiglockart in
the County of Midlothian, 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 apparatus for use in facilitating the bunching or binding
into bunches or bundles of fire wood, and as represented in vertical section at
figure 1, and in plan at figure 2 of the annexed drawings, the apparatus con-
stituting the invention consists of a plate or frame A, adapted to be bolted to a
bench or table and having secured upon it by means of bolts, a holder B, of
semicircular or horse shoe form in plan, whereinto the pieces of fire wood to be
bunched are placed. A movable cramp C which is operated by means of a screw D
passing through a screwed block E on the plate A and provided with a hand-
crank F is fitted to slide upon the plate A and between guide faces ff¹ formed on
its sides and in the holder B. On the inner side of the cramp C as also on the
inner side of the holder B a lip or bead g is formed at the upper edge to firmly
grasp the bunch of fire wood when by turning the screw D the cramp is closed
upon the wood which is placed in the holder and to so indent it that the cord or
wire employed in tieing up the bunch may the better be retained in place. In a
modified form of the apparatus shown in plan at figure 3 of the drawings a single
cramp C is fitted to act simultaneously upon two bunches of firewood placed in a
duplex holder B, the apparatus being in other respects similar to that represented
at figures 1 and 2. By the employment of a screw for actuating the cramp the
pressure upon the bunch or bunches of firewood after screwing up is maintained
until by unscrewing the cramp is withdrawn and the operator is free to use both
hands in tieing up the wood or preparing a fresh pile for bunching, an advantage
not attainable by similar apparatus of the kind heretofore in use in which lever
power is employed for operating the cramp.

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 :-
For bunching or binding together firewood the improved apparatus consisting of
a stationary holder or holders and a movable cramp operated by a screw substan-
tially as described with reference to the drawings annexed.

1 BURTON RICHARD PHILLIPSON of 10 Lr. Baggot St. Dublin Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER CLOSETS
& IN PIPES & CONNEXIONS THEREOF to be as follows :-
According to my present invention I construct water closet basins of Earthenware
to each basin I supply an outlet pipe of lead (or other metal) the earthenware & the
metal parts are connected in the following manner the metal pipe is made to fit within
the discharge horn of the basin and is there secured by cement the basin is formed so
as to hold water in its lower part and the lower end of the metal pipe is so constructed
that its margin dips into the water in the basin-The basin is formed with a groove
or depression made around the outside of its upper part for the purpose of keeping a
cord or band when placed around it in position.
I provide a lead or other metal nipple or nipples for the introduction of the flushing
water and secure it or them in position with cement-to the nipple or nipples I attach
the flushing pipe by a screw (or other) coupling-In addition to the ordinary flushing
inlet I place an inlet on my basin to which the waste pipe from a drip tray or other
place may be attached.
In certain cases I attach the flushing connexion to W.C. basins by placing a metal
band round the basin which ties a metal horn to the basin, the metal horn is
staunched to the delph basin with cement or by an elastic washer-For taking the
discharge from the water closet into a soil pipe I place upon the course of the soil
pipe a branch piece having an Enlargement in its side branch for the purpose of
reducing the tendency to syphonage.
On discharge drains from ground floor Water Closets or other suitable places on
course of drains I place pipes having branches leading upwards to, or near to the
ground level these branches are rounded off where they merge into the course of the
drain for the purpose of facilitating the cleansing of the drain with rods.

Slates.
Year: 1886

page_text: Slates.
I, OWEN JONES OWEN Blaenau Festiniog in the County of Merioneth, Writing
slate 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 has for its object, a writing slate or other frame that will not
readily break. It is notorious that the weakest parts of an ordinary writing slate
are the corners of the frame. To strengthen these, various plans have been tried,
for instance, corner pieces of metal, leather and other materials have been added
outside; false tenons of metal have been sunk in, and the entire slate has been
bound round with wire. The last mentioned plan is perhaps the strongest of the
whole-but is inoperative owing to the habit children have of prising the wire
out, and even using it as a handle to carry the slate by.
Now my invention is designed to obtain all the advantages of a wire binding,
and of a hidden metallic false tenon without the disadvantages of either. My
plan is best described by aid of the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a plan of slate and frame partly in section and
Figure 2 a transverse section of same.
In these A is the slate, B frame, C deep groove all round same, say inch deep,
D wire sunk in the bottom of the groove, strained tight all round the frame, and
the ends forced into holes E, E. Fa strip, preferably of the same material as the
slate frame glued into the said groove before finishing the frame. This being just
the width of the groove and forced in while smeared with glue remains a fixture,
when planed off is hardly distinguishable from the body of the frame, and offers no
temptation to the children to pick it out-in any case a most difficult task. It
hides the wire completely, and prevents the latter from either rusting by exposure,
coming out, or disfiguring or discolouring the slate frame. By this means all
necessity for riveting is avoided, and the frame is so strongly bound together that
it is extremely difficult to break.
It will be obvious that while the above described arrangement of wire is found
most convenient of any; other forms of wire could be used, thus fine wire pro-
ected by coating or otherwise, or even fine string or other line can be tightly
vound round and round the slate in the groove and then covered with the strip E

page_text: or other covering or a single strand of wire with its ends firmly secured together
could be used, but I claim these variations as mere mechanical substitutes of my
preferred plan.
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. In a writing slate or other frame, a wire or other line binding embedded
and covered from sight in a deep groove, substantially as described.
2nd. The combination of the frame A, wire D round all the corners sunk in a
deep groove, and the covering strip F, substantially as described.

I, ERNEST DE PASS, of 68 Fleet Street, in the City of London, Fellow of the
Institute of Patent Agents, 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 is to say :-
This invention has for its object a process of treating and utilizing the kernel of
the fruit of the trees known as Mauritia vinifera and Mauritia flexuosa to render
it fit for industrial purposes.
These trees are found more particularly in Brazil; they have the appearance of
very tall palms and their summits bear fruit like bunches of grapes, but much
larger than the fruit of the vine.
Each element or berry of the bunch forming the fruit of these trees is composed
of a covering or flesh and of a central seed or kernel.
After gathering this fruit it is immersed in water for about a fortnight for the
purpose of readily separating the flesh from the seed or kernel.
It is only the seed or kernel which is utilized and that in the following
manner-After having removed and discarded the flesh from the fruit,
dry
the seed or kernel (in its entirety, or in pieces) in a stove heated to a temperature
of 25° to 50° Cent., or by any other means.
After this heating the seed or kernel, which had been somewhat tender, becomes
very hard, its degree of hardness being that of bone, ivory, etc.
This material thus hardened is then employed for use in turnery, cabinet work,
marqueterie; for the manufacture of buttons for garments, etc.

page_text: Having now described this invention, and in what manner the same may
be performed, I declare that I claim, as communicated to me by my foreign
correspondent :-
.
1. The process, substantially as herein described, of treating the kernel or seed
of the fruit of the trees known as the Mauritia vinifera and Mauritia flexuosa to
render it fit for industrial purposes.
2. The manufacture of objects from te kernel or seed of the fruit above
mentioned.

MORTICE LOOKS WITH BARREL KEYS
Year: 1886

page_text: I, ANDREAS JOHANSEN, Totens Gade 6, Christiania, Norge, Af. Profession Smed
(Smith) do hereby declare the nature of my invention for MORTICE LOOKS WITH
BARREL KEYS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The figure B shows a mortice lock, which completely has the likeness of a usual
mortice lock with the exception that the key is made as a barrel key moving upon a
piece with the pivot c, situated between both lock-sheets, which piece is moveable and
following the key in all its turnings.
The piece has its centre of gravity between the lock-sheets, so as marked through
the section a-b. Through this arrangement in the lock, the traditional solid key,
which, as well known, yiekling very little security, and which without difficulty can
he replaced by other keys, will thereafter be avoided. The security of this key is
very great, for the pivot, which is destined for the key barrel, will prevent the intro-
duction of foreign keys, and by changing the length of the pivot, and by giving the
pivot and the key-barrel, different shapes, it will be possible to vary infinitely.
Thus it is the figure c with the corresponding barrel key, which is my invention,
and which I think will remedy many wants.
The figure A. is differing from the figure B. thereby, that the piece with the pivot S.
is fastened with nails, and will prevent the key to be taken from the lock when this is
unlocked. If the piece with the pivot is fastened on the other side of the key-hole in
the lock, the key cannot be taken out, when the lock is locked.
The key is, as well in the figure B, as in the figure A of the same construction, but
the key-barrel, and the pivot for the figure A, must always be round. The pivot will
however, by giving it different thickness, and by changing the number, the shape and
the place of the wards, give a rich occasion to many variations.
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 Patent for :
A Mortice Lock, figure B, to which belongs a barrel key, moving in a moveable
piece with a pivot, situated between the lock-sheets, and
2.) A Mortice Lock, figure A, which so as the lock figure B, has a barrel key, but
into which the piece with the pivot is fastened with nails and prevents the key to be
taken out of the lock, either this be unlocked or locked.

THOMAS PRATT HOLLICK 602 Commercial Road Limehouse London, E. 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:
In the systems at present in use, the covers are raised either by hydraulic or steam
power fitted at a great cost: or more generally by crabs, winches, blocks or other
similar gear worked by hand, and requiring many men to raise the covers.
My Invention consists in using Differential Pulley Blocks suspended from a
Wellington Traveller or other overhead frame, and passing the endless chains from
the Blocks one or more times round a Barrel or drum, preferably mounted upon the
Traveller, and the Barrel or drum driven by bevel or other suitable gearing, and
worked by an ordinary winch handle or handles.
My Invention has the advantages of a great increase in power with but a trifling
loss by friction, of having fewer and lighter parts, and the weight as lifted remains
suspended without being held by the handles.
One method of carrying my invention into practice is illustrated by the accom-
panying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side Elevation, and Fig. 2 an End Elovation with
Hange on end of barrel left out. A B are differential blocks, the chain C of which
is taken to the barrel D and is given as many turns round the barrel as may be
necessary to make it grip. On the same shaft with the barrel is a bevel wheel E
driven by the bevel pinion F, and on the same shaft as the pinion the winch handle G
is fixed so that turning the same in one direction actuates the chain U so as to raise,
and in the opposite direction to lower the load. The book H may be fixed to a
Wellington Crane or other convenient arrangement and the hook H 1 to the lond
to be lifted and susponded.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same may be performed: I declare that what I claim is,
The combination of Differential Pulley Blocks and Barrels, round which are one
or more turns of the endless chains of the blocks, the barrels being actuated by
bevel or other suitable gearing for raising the Covers of Gas Purifiers and other
weights.

page_text: I, GEORGE KYNOCH, of Witton in the County of Stafford, Cartridge 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:
My invention relates to a construction of case for sporting cartridges whereby
I obtain in a simple manner reinforcement of the base and an effectual gas check,
as I will explain referring to the accompanying drawing which represents a longi-
tudinal section of a case according to my invention.
Within a bottom cover or head a, in which is fixed the cap chamber b, is inserted
a metal cup c which is punch-drawn in the usual way, and has through its bottom
a hole for passage of the cap chamber b. Within the cup c is inserted the paper
tube d which forms the body of the cartridge case and is held by a ring of pulp e
After insertion of
filling up the space between the cap chamber b and the cup c.
the cup c into the head a, of the paper tube d and of the the pulp e, the whole
bottom is subjected to the pressure which shapes the head, compresses the pulp,
and firmly secures the parts together.
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 case for sporting cartridges constructed as herein described with reference to
the accompanying drawing.
