Improvements in Lubricants.
I JAMES LUVIAN WADE of 307 Burdett Road Limehouse, London in the County
of Middlesex, Oil Refiner and Manufacturing Chemist do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the production from glycerine, castor, and mineral oil
of an effective, and durable lubricant in a solid, and liquid state which is not affected
by frost or very low temperatures. In preparing this non-freezing compound I blend
the oils in proportions varying according to the nature of the article to be treated
or the machinery to be lubricated, the vegetable oil and glycerine for example
being increased in quantity when the compound is intended for solid oil or for
heavy machinery & being correspondingly diminished when intended for liquid oil or
for light machinery.

Improvements in Lubricants.
I JAMES LUVIAN WADE of 307 Burdett Road, Limehouse, London in the County
of Middlesex Oil Refiner and Manufacturing 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:-
The object of this invention is the production from glycerine, castor, and mineral
oils of an effective, and durable lubricant in a solid, and liquid state, which is not
congealed by frost or very low temperatures. In preparing this non-freezing com-
pound I blend the oils in proportions varying according to the nature of the article to
be treated, or the machinery to be lubricated; the glycerine and castor oils for
example being increased in quantity i.e. 50% crude glycerine, 50% mineral oil &
5% castor oil when the compound is intended for heavier, and being correspondingly
diminished when intended for lighter machinery. The oils in the requisite proportions
are placed in an air tight boiler or tank within which is a coil of steam pipes for
raising the mixture to the temperature required for any particular batch, and in
connection with the tank or boiler an apparatus is provided for exhausting the air
over the surface of the oil. This exhaustion causes a violent rush of air through the
oils the air entering the tank by an inlet pipe connected thereto at a low level,
the said rush creating a powerful agitation, and carrying away all moisture,
resulting in the production of a compound oil of great clearness, possessing high
lubricating, non-freezing, and anti-corrosive properties, the constituents of which are
not liable to separation.
Having now particularly described the nature of my invention I declare that
what I claim is.
An improved non-freezing, stainless solid & liquid compound oil for lubricating all
kinds of machinery, for the preservation of all kinds of leather and harness, & for the
protection of metal from rust and corrosion.
An Improvement in Trousers Straps or Bands.

An Improvement in Trousers Straps or Bands.
I, WILLIAM RADCLIFF BIRT Junr. of 4, High Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire,
India Rubber 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 reference to those elastic straps or bands which pass under the
instep of the wearer's boots and are furnished with spring clips at each end for
engaging with the trousers and keeping them pulled down in place upon the legs.
Heretofore for trousers straps or bands of this kind it has been customary to use
elastic webbing but this, as is well known, holds mud and dirt which causes the
webbing to become rotten.
Now according to this invention I make the elastic strap part of india rubber with
elastic canvas or other elastic textile fabric insertion, that is to say the strap or band
consists of one or more thicknesses of india rubber and one or more thicknesses of
elastic canvas or other elastic textile fabric alternately. By elastic canvas or other
elastic textile fabric I mean canvas or other fabric which is so woven as to allow it to
stretch. The said canvas or other textile fabric strengthens the india rubber part and
also prevents its being stretched beyond a certain point.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 is a plan of the said
trousers strap or band constructed according to this invention and Fig. 3 shows a
piece of the elastic band of the same on an enlarged scale with the elastic and canvas
torn apart at one end so as the better to illustrate the construction.
A is the said elastic strap part and B' B2 are the two spring clips which engage
with the bottom of the wearer's trousers.
The clips B1 B2 as shewn are the kind I prefer to use but I do not limit myself to
these as other well known kinds of clips can be used.
In the example shewn the elastic strap part A consists of two thicknesses of india
rubber, marked respectively c¹ c² on either side of a thickness of elastic canvas
marked d. This I find to answer well in practice but I do not limit myself to any
particular number of the thicknesses of elastic canvas or other elastic fabric and the
thicknesses of india rubber.
The ends of the elastic strap or band are secured to the clips in the usual manner.
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 trousers straps or bands of the kind herein referred to and in combination with
the end spring clips thereof, the employment of a strap or band of india rubber and
elastic canvas or textile fabric insertion of the kind hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Scarves and Neckties.
I, DAVID CUMMING SIMPSON of 33 Hillside Crescent in the City of Edinburgh,
Engraver and Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to scarves and neckties and it has for its object mainly to
dispense with the use of the usual neckband and fastening and thus render the
article less costly in production whilst ensuring greater comfort in wear.
To that end I make the scarf or necktie of any ordinary form or shape but
without a neckband and fastening device, and at the edge close to the neck part 1
insert an eyelet which in securing the scarf or necktie is passed over the stem of a
stud or solitaire which also serves to hold the collar of the wearer, the head of the
solitaire when such is used, being fitted over the stem to retain the scarf or tie in
place.
In the case of a scarf made reversible or with two or more parts to fit the neck
and collar I fit an eyelet in each of such parts for use as above described in securing
the scarf or tie to the collar stud or solitaire.
For use with standing up collars a neckband may be attached to the scarf or tie
and fastened at the back to cover the meeting edges of the shirt and collar.

also serves to hold shirt and collar together, the head of the solitaire-when such
is used-being fitted over the stem to retain the scarf or tie in place.
In the case of a scarf made reversible, or with two or more parts to fit the neck
and collar I fit an eyelet in each of such parts for use as above described. For use
with standing up collars a neckband may be attached to the scarf or tie to cover
the meeting edges of shirt and collar.

An Improved Roller for Blinds or the like which is Adjustable to
Any Width of Window.
I, GUSTAV LOUIS GRUMMT of Zwickau in the Kingdom of Saxony, Empire of
Germany 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 :-
The object of this invention is a pole or roller for blinds and the like which is easily
and rapidly adjustable for windows of any width, while its peculiar construction at
the same time prevents it from losing its straightness.
Referring to the accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is a side view and partial longitudinal section, and
Fig. 2 a front view of the improved roller.
On a rod a with circular cross section a sheet metal tube c is secured by means of
nails n or in any other suitable manner, said tube being provided with a convenient
number of inclined slots or bights d. Into the open end of the sheet metal tube c is
loosely introduced a second rod b with round cross section. A spiral spring f
contained in the tube c tends to press the rod b outwardly, the action of said spring
being determined by a screw or other suitable obstacle or projection e secured in the
rod b and adapted to enter into and be detained, by the action of the spring, in each
of the inclined slots or bights referred to.
It is obvious from the foregoing description, that in order to adjust the improved
roller to any width of window, the rod b is merely introduced the required distance
into the tube c and so turned that the head of the screw or pin of rod b is placed into
the respective slot, the length thus given to the blind roller being maintained owing to
the inclined position of the slots d and the pressure of the spiral spring f.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
An adjustable roller or pole for blinds and such like, in which the two
portions a and b of the device are connected by means of a sheet metal tube c
and adapted to be fixed in a variable distance from each other by inclined slots or
bights provided in said tube, a spiral spring f and screw or knob e, substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.

invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved self extinguishing candlestick and has for
its object the minimising the danger arising from gutted candle ends and the safe
extinguishing and economising of same.
In carrying my invention into practice I form such candlesticks of tin or other
material, with a reservoir or receptacle round about the socket into which the
candle fits, which reservoir may be filled with water or other liquid.
The outside edge of the said reservoir is raised slightly higher than the inner
one which also forms the socket for the candle to fit into so that when the candle is
burned down past the level of this inner rim the water overflows and extinguishes
the light.

surfaces there was considerable difficulty in forming or keeping a "tight joint" between
the cover and the "top box" and in those cases where a cover provided with a conical
surface was employed the cover or lid by being forced tightly into the "top box'
by corrosion became so tightly and firmly secured to the "top box" that there was
great difficulty in removing it, and in many cases the removal of the.cover or lid from
the "top box" caused considerable injury to the "top box" and in some cases in
attempts to remove the cover or lid from the "top box" the "top box" has been
broken.
In consequence of the difficulty which has heretofore attended the removal of the
covers or lids of the "top boxes" of "fuel economisers" the internal examination of
the "top boxes" has often been neglected and delayed and serious results have arisen
from such delay and neglect.
Covers or lids of "top boxes" of "fuel economisers" constructed according to my
present invention being capable of being readily removed and replaced enable the
interiors of "top boxes to be more conveniently examined than heretofore.
I would point out that in a modification of my invention the lid or cover b may be

I have above referred to one lid or cover but I would have it understood that each
of the "top boxes" constructed according to my invention is provided with as many
lids or covers as there are pipes finserted into such "top box." In Fig. 5 is shown

WILLIAM JOHN HODGSON Slerra, Clovelly near Bideford, North Devon, Officer of
Inland Revenue, Excise Department, 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 an improved tobacco pipe. It consists of a two bore pipe: one
bore (A) running from the bowl to a short distance from the junction (CD) of the
mouthpiece the second bore (B) running from near the junction of the mouthpiece
under bore (A) to an outlet (E) beneath the bowl of the pipe. The outlet (E) is a
perforation from under the bowl of the pipe into the bowl. When in use the outlet
is stopped by a screw or plug the top of which forms part of the floor of bore (A).
The upper bore (A) is for the purpose of inhaling smoke through, at the same time
the indraft causes any nicotine formed therein to drop into the under bore (B). When
the screw or plug is in place, the under bore (B) acts as a receiver of saliva from the
mouthpiece and nicotine from bore (A). To clean this pipe the screw or plug is taken
out, the hand placed over the bowl of the pipe, the sinoker then blows down the
mouthpiece when all the saliva and nicotine are ejected down the bore (B) through
the outlet (E). To cleanse the bowl of any loose soddened tobacco, place the finger
upon the bore of the mouthpiece and blow through the outlet (E) when such tobacco
is ejected by way of the bowl.
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 ]

Improvements in Tobacco Pouches.
I JAMES BURBRIDGE of the Firm of Messrs. W. Warne & Co. of the India
Rubber Works, Tottenham in the County of Middlesex, India Rubber 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:-
1
In tobacco pouches the great desiderata are a flat pouch and security against the
contents when dry and broken up escaping when the pouch is opened.
One of these advantages is obtained in the "Horsey" pouch and the other in the
"Prince of Wales" pouch both of which are well known in the market.
The last named pouch has however the disadvantage of being somewhat bulky in
the pocket and the object of the present invention is to produce a pouch in which the
above named advantages will be found.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view of my improved pouch expanded, and
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same closed.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of Fig. 1.
A is a flat bag pouch and B is a pocket as in the Horsey pouch. The bag pouch
may be prolonged beyond the centre line and into the pocket as shown, thus providing
greater space for the tobacco than in the Horsey pouch. The bag pouch may however
at the centre line.
stop
The opening to the pouch will be formed by a twisted neck C, as in the "Prince of
Wales "pouch, which is formed in the mould in a manner now well known.
By the above construction of pouch, I obtain the advantage of a flat pouch, with
security to the contents.
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 india rubber tobacco pouch consisting of a flat bag portion A, provided
with a twisted neck opening C, and a pocket B, substantially as described.

Improvements in Enamelled Metal Letters.
I FRANK HOBBS, of 18 Marine Terrace Margate in the County of Kent,
Sign Writer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in enamelled metal letters, and has for its
object, an enamelled metal letter that shall be easy of affixing to wood and the like,
without the aid of any glutinous substance.
In carrying my invention into practice I form such letters of copper, iron, or any
other suitable material, with a vitrified enamelled surface of any suitable colour
having spikes on the under surface, which are cast in one piece with the letter
itself.
These spikes are pressed or hammered into the back-ground on which the letters
are to be affixed the said spikes preventing the letters from being rubbed or
otherwise pulled off.

Improvements in Enamelled Metal Letters.
I FRANK HOBBS, of 18 Marine Terrace, Margate, in the County of Kent,
Sign Writer, 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 enamelled metal letters, the object of
the invention being to produce an enamelled letter that can be easily affixed to
wood and the like material, without the aid of any cement or glutinous
substance.
In proceeding to carry my invention into practical effect, I form such letters or
numerals of copper, iron, zinc, or other suitable metal, either by casting same in
moulds, or by stamping or cutting, or by other suitable and well known means.
In order to supersede and do away with the old fashioned and defective method
of affixing the letters or numerals to the background on which same are to be
displayed, I form, either integrally with such letters or numerals, or otherwise,
whichever is desirable or convenient, any number of small spikes, which project
from the underneath surface of the said letter or numerals.
The spikes are hammered or pressed into the background, in the usual manner,
thereby affording a secure grip or hold entirely without the aid of cement, glue or
the like substances.
In order to render the letters or numerals more effective, and also at same time
to make them more durable, I enamel the surface of same with any suitable enamel
and vitrify or burn same in a firing oven.
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 enamel letters or numerals, for affixing to wood or the like material, the

Improvements in Bobbins or Spools.

Improvements in Bobbins or Spools.
I, FREDERIC FOWKES, of Troutbeck Mills, Windermere, Bobbin 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 :-
The improvements relate to bobbins or spools, for sewing cotton, and the like,
and have for object the production of bobbins or spools for sewing or other cotton,
silk, woollen, or other fibre, which shall be reduced in weight from those now in
general use, thereby economising the consumption of wood.
To accomplish this, and to effect my improvements, I form two thin discs of wood,
cach having a hole through the centre thereof, corresponding to the hole through
an ordinary bobbin or spool.
These discs are intended to form the flanges or ends of the bobbin or spool; but
in lieu of joining the same together by a wood barrel, as obtains in the present
method of bobbin manufacture, 1 connect the two ends by means of thin lengths
of wire-by preference-passing from one disc to the other, arranged round
a circle.
These wires, which may be of any suitable metal, are driven into the discs at
each end, and may be either driven into the wood discs tightly, or rivetted or
otherwise secured as may be found most convenient.
In lieu of metal wires, thin rods of wood or other substance may be employed,
with or without the aid of glue.
But that the improvements may be better understood, I will, by the aid of the
accompanying drawings proceed more fully to describe means employed by me.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figs. 1. and 3. shew elevations, and Figs. 2 and 4 plan views of bobbins or spools
formed in accordance with my improvements.
The same letters indicate corresponding parts wherever they occur.
a. a. are the discs forming the flanges or ends of the bobbin; and b. b. the wires
or fine rods of wood arranged at intervals round the circle, at such distance from
the centre as may be required, while d. d. shew the holes or openings in the discs
or flanges.
Variations in detail, such as the thickness and diameter of the discs or flanges,
and the size of the hole therein, also in the number and thickness of the connecting
wires or rods may be made without departing from the peculiar character of the
invention.
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 [
claim is :-
A bobbin or spool for cotton or other fibre, formed of two discs or Hanges of
wood, which are provided with holes therein, and connected together by means of
wires or rods arranged around the circle in lieu of a barrel for such bobbins or
spools, for the purpose and in manner substantially as herein shewn and described.

Improvements in the Method of Packing Laundry Blue.
I, RICHARD WALMSLEY HARRISON, of Darwen Street, Blackburn, in the
County of Lancaster, Mill Furnisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to make up and pack laundry blue in a more handy
form both for sale and use.
Blue has been generally used in bags or cloth covers, I now construct boxes of
wood, paper, metal or of any suitable material, in which I place each bag of blue.
I prefer the bag to fill up the box so as to keep in its position within the box, until
taken out for use, after which it is again easily placed within the box, the said box
forming a receptacle, guard, or stand for it, keeps it free from dust and dirt.
The boxes may be of any required shape or size.
The box prevents the blue from percolating through the cloth or cover, and so
wasting, and makes it easy for packing in suitable packing quantities.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of bag of blue in box.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of box containing bag of blue.
Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 2.
Blue has been generally used tied up in bags or cloth covers. I now take &
small quantity of blue powder, and tie it up in a bag A formed of cloth or other
woven fabric and I construct boxes such as B of wood paper, metal, or of any
suitable material, in which I place each bag A of blue, I prefer the bag A to fill
up the box B, so as to keep in its position within the box, until taken out for use,
after which it is again easily placed within the box, the said box forming a
receptacle, guard or stand for it, keeps it free from dust and dirt.
The boxes when made of wood, paper or other porous material, are preferably
dipped in varnish, or other solution so as to render them waterproof, and may
be of any required shape or size.
The box prevents the blue from percolating through the cloth or cover and so
wasting, also keeps it clean, and makes it easier for packing in suitable quantities.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood
that I am aware that there is no novelty in making up blue in bags or cloths, but
I declare that what I claim is :-
Making up blue in bags A and placing the same within a box such as B, as and
for the purposes described.
