I, OTTOMAR PAUL, of 10, Radebergerstrasse, Loschwitz, near Dresden, in the
German Empire, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a game or toy in which figures representing horses
or other objects are moved so as to represent a race.
In order that this invention may be the better understood, I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters refer to like parts in the
various figures.
Figure 1 is a plan of the toy at the start of the game.
Figure 2 is a plan of the game at or near the finish of the race.
Figure 3 is a detail view.
In the drawings, horses are shown as the racing bodies, but other animals or
objects, such as cyclists, boats and the like, or a combination thereof, may be
used.
The figures a are attached at the front to long threads a, which pass through
holes in the side of a box b placed at the end of a long table c to a rotary axle d
situated in the box. The ends of the threads are attached to the axle d and
the connection is sunk into the axle, so as to avoid any protruding knot or pro-
jection. The several threads are of equal length and they are conveniently equal
distances apart. The axle d is rotated by a hand crank or clock work, the latter
is indicated in the drawings.
At the start of the race or game all threads are unwound and the figures stand
at the starting point. When the axle d is rotated the threads are wound up
and the figures move towards the goal. Though the threads are wound up under
equal conditions, the unavoidable slight irregularities in the thickness of each
thread, in the angles at which the threads are winding, etc., cause them to form
coils of different and varying shape on the axle d. Sometimes the coil is narrow
and high, and sometimes broad and low. Therefore the figures move at vary-
ing speeds, so that the person or persons playing the game, have the changing
varieties and chances of a race. The figure which arrives first has won, and
following figures may receive "places."
In order to prevent the several figures from falling over, they may run on
flat bars and be guided in slots, being further secured in upright position by a
counter weight, as shown in Figure 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
A racing game or toy in which figures, representing racing objects, are drawn
077

page_text: along a board representing the race course by long threads or cords wound up
on au axle of uniform diameter, so that the varying height of the coils, formed
by the threads, varies the rate of progress of the different figures, substantially as
described.

Improvements in Letter and Document Files.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Josef
Ullrich, of Stift Tepl, Bohemia, Master Mason and Carpenter, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement; -
The object of this invention is an apparatus for filing letters and other docu-
ments, which can be easily referred to, as the sides thereof, serving to hold the
papers, can be turned back at the top on hinges, so that, whilst the lower edges
are firmly held together, the documents can be looked through like the pages
of a book. In general the hinges for the side parts are bolted, so that they
cannot be opened, and hold the papers together over their whole width.
In the accompanying drawing;
Fig. 1 is a side view of the new filing apparatus
Figs. 2 to 5 are details, referred to in the following description.
A little
On a board a forming the back or base of the apparatus are fixed guide bars b,
between which the side parts or covers e of the apparatus with their foot piece d
are pushed. On these foot-pieces d, wire hooks e are arranged (Figs. 3 to 5),
the ends of which are hooked into notches f (Fig. 2) in the guide bars and
hold the side parts in their respective positions, firmly on the board a.
above the footpiece d each of the side parts e is furnished with a hinge g, which
enables the side parts c to be opened out. In order that the side parts c may
be opened out at any desired angle each is fitted above the hinge g, with a
wedge h, the lower edge of which can be adjusted at any desired height by
regulating the position of an oblique slot on a screw i. This lower edge of the
wedge limits the opening out of the side parts c (Fig. 1) by abutting against
a corresponding edge of the foot piece d. In general the hinges y are locked by
a rotary lever k placed above each of them on the side parts e the end of which
lever is inserted in a hook 1, (Figs. 1 and 2) of the appropriate foot-piece d.

This invention has reference to a portable vessel, chiefly applicable to the use of
workmen and others; and it has for its object to provide a vessel in which food or
beverages placed therein shall be heated at the working place, or elsewhere,
without trouble and inexpensively.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing, in which Figure 1 is a sec-
tional side elevation, and Figure 2 a plan.
The whole apparatus consists of two cylindrical vessels, the smaller one of
which is disposed within the other. In the interior of the outer vessel, and at
the bottom of same, there is a heating-lamp, by means of which the contents of the
smaller vessel may be heated.
In the drawing, a represents the outer vessel, the side of which is provided
with an opening at the bottom, through which the heating lamp 6 is placed inside;
and the lamp itself is held at the bottom of the outer vessel by means of springs or
other appliances c. The outer vessel a may be closed by means of a lid, which
is provided with holes d, arranged concentrically; and underneath the lid-top an
appliance s is arranged, which can be turned by means of the lid-knob, so that,
by means of this appliance, the holes d may be closed.
The opening at the bottom of the outer vessel, through which the heating
lamp is inserted, is rendered air-tight, by means of a slide, in order that the lamp
flame will be extinguished by the closing of the openings d in the cover, on account
of the non-admission of air.
In the vessel a, a vessel i is disposed above the heating flame b; and this vessel i
serves for holding the food to be heated; and is closed by means of a lid with
a "bayonet" catch k. This lid is provided with a handle h, of non-conducting

I, FRIEDRICH SEGEBRECHT, of No. 56, Frankfurter Allée, Berlin, in the German
Empire, Engineer, 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:.
The present invention relates to an improved apparatus for cutting fabrics of
any kind whatever, its special purpose being to reduce the weight of the apparatus
to the greatest possible extent and thereby to increase the efficiency of the
apparatus.
This special purpose is attained by driving the cutter directly without any
special transmission gear. A further advantage attained hereby is the abolishing
of vibration due to the transmission wheels and the supporting arm in the machines
hitherto employed and devised for a like purpose.
I will now proceed to describe the invention more fully, reference being had to
the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of my improved apparatus in working position.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line of Fig. 1.
My improved apparatus comprises a casing a, a cutter b and a flexible shaft c.
The cutter is supported by means of the axle d, in the centre of the casing a.
The lower portion of the casing is constructed so as to form a supporting and
guide-base e, a groove f being provided for the reception of the cutter 6. The rear
of the apparatus is fitted with the handle g for guiding the apparatus. The cutting
edge of the cutter b is, with the exception of a small portion, entirely encased in
said casing. A screw nut secures the cutter b to the axle d at the open side of the
casing.
The flexible shaft c which is rotated by any suitable source of motive power
is directly coupled with the axle d of the cutter b by screws h without any trans-
mission gear such as spur wheels being employed. In view of the arrangement
of the flexible shaft an unimpeded guiding of the cutter in any direction

Improvements in Puncture Preventers for Pneumatic Tyres.
Year: 1899

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Puncture Preventers for Pneumatic Tyres.
I, ADOLF KOBIOLKE, of Kampstrasse 10, Essen on the Ruhr, in the Empire of
Germany, Clerk 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 puncture preventers for pneumatic
tyres.
In attempts to protect the air tubes of pneumatic tyres of bicycles, motor cars
and the like against injuries by nails, glass, etc. the principal difficulty consists.
in preserving the necessary elasticity of the air tube to be protected.
The object of the present invention is a protecting covering for the air tube
of pneumatic tyres which by its construction not only protects the air tube against
injuries but also automatically removes nails and the like which may have pene-.
trated the outer cover.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 represents a short piece of the protecting covering.
Fig. 2 shows part of a wheel tyre provided with the covering and shows how
nails are removed.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of the complete tyre.
Scale shaped picces A of leather or other suitable material with inner and outer
edges are curved and bent over according to the diameter of the wheel tyre and
are arranged like fish scales, one overlapping or engaging over the other on, an
endless band of fabric B, being fastened thereon by means of wire fasteners a
or in any other suitable manner, the so covered band is arranged in the outer
cover C of the tyre before the partly inflated air tube D is inserted.
If for instance, a nail penetrates the outer cover C, it strikes upon the hard
though elastic protecting covering A which cannot be penetrated so that the air
tube D is protected from injury without the elasticity of the tyre being diminished.
Further the outer cover C is protected in the most effective manner against
further injuries from the nail by the outward pressure of the single pieces of the
protecting covering A as when they leave the ground level in the forward move-
ment they have an outward lever or spring like action so that the hard leather
scale against which the nail lies pushes the same outwards, so that it is probably
removed during the first revolution of the wheel after it has entered the outer
cover of the tyre.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
Improved puncture preventer for pneumatic tyres, consisting of an endless
band of fabric on which curved scale shaped pieces of leather or other suitable
material are arranged overlapping one over the other, the said band being
inserted between the air tube of the tyre and the outer cover thereof.

page_text: Date of Application, 3rd July, 1899-Accepted, 26th Aug., 1899
Improvements in or relating to the Production of Ornamental Effects
upon Textile Fabrics and in Apparatus therefor.
I, ERNEST HENRY FULLER, Engraver, of 3, Kay Street, Openshaw, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, 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 production of ornamental effects upon textile
fabrics and in apparatus therefor, and has for its object to give to goods of a
commoner nature such as cotton, woollen goods or the like, a silky appearance
combined with a design or pattern.
According to this invention I prepare a roller or plate by engraving thereon a
number of extremely fine lines. After engraving the lines I form a design upon
the roller, either by obliterating the lines entirely or partially in places by means
of pressure, burnishing, polishing or in some other manner or by leaving blank
portions when engraving the lines; or I engrave upon the roller other fine lines
which cross the first ones at an angle, or I may form the design by a combination
of these processes. The fabric to be treated is now passed under the roller treated
in this way, when the fabric will be found to have imparted to it a silky effect
together with a design which in appearance is on the surface of the fabric and
not in relief as is the case with materials that have been embossed with a design
in the ordinary manner.
In order to obtain the best results the lines should be as fine as possible and
placed closely together, from 7 to 12 lines to the millimetre giving satisfactory
results.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the samo is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. Producing an ornamental effect upon textile fabrics by subjecting them to
pressure by a roller or plate engraved with extremely fine lines and having a
design formed upon it by obliterating entirely or partially the lines in places or
by leaving blank portions with or without other fine lines crossing the first lines
at an angle substantially as described.
2. A roller or plate for producing ornamental effects upon textile fabrics having
extremely fine lines engraved upon it and a design formed by obliterating entirely
or partially these lines in places or by leaving blank portions with or without
other fine lines crossing the first lines at an angle substantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Guide and Support for Boring Tool in Appliances for
Boring Angular Holes.
I, JUSTUS WALDTHAUSEN, Merchant, of Wittelsbacherstrasse 20, Munich,.
Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
In appliances for boring angular holes, it has been found that owing to deficient
guiding and support of the boring tool the hole bored is liable to become conical.
The object of this invention is to remedy this evil. In the appended drawings
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan on line A-B illustrating
a machine to which the invention has been applied.
The device in question is characterised by the circumstance that between the
boring spindle 1, and the boring table 2, a further guide 4, is provided, being
arranged adjustably on the boring frame 3, and that the boring tool 5, runs with
its upper smooth face 6, on a ball 7, carried by the boring spindle 1, and is set
in motion by a tappet.
This tappet consists, as shown in the annexed drawing, of an angle-piece S,
suitably fixed, so that it can be detached, from the boring spindle 1, and which,
with its arm 9: extending downward catches against and carries with it the
arm 10, of a dog or carrier 11, (which can be easily fixed to the boring tool in
use for the time being) while the spindle is revolving.
The guide 4, shown in plan Fig. 2 is fitted with a detachable plate 13, corre-
sponding with the guide plate 12, arranged in the known manner on the boring
table 2, and which is selected so as to suit the section of the boring tool in use
and of the hole being bored, and which, like plate 12, with a view to cheapness
of production may be made of bar tool-steel, rolled or stamped in moulds, and
well hardened.
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 guide and bearing or support for the tool in appliances for boring angular
holes, characterised by a second guide-plate 13, arranged so as to be detachable
and vertically adjustable, on the boring frame 3, and corresponding with the
guide plate or template 12, and a ball 7, carried by the boring spindle and acting
against the smooth end surface 6, of the boring tool 5, which is set in motion
by a tappet.
An Improved Soap Tray.

An Improved Soap Tray.
I, LEONARD LUMSDEN GRIMWADE, of Fjaerlands, Trent Vale, Stoke-on-Trent,
n the County of Stafford, Earthenware Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
arly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improvement in soap trays such as are used in
lavatories and like places, and with toilet or chamber sets, and is intended to pro-
vide means for permitting the water from the soap after the soap has been used to
drain through the holes in the said tray and thereby prevent the soap becoming
jellied and unpleasant for further use.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a plan of a tray with raised
transverse bars for use in combination with a soap dish.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the said tray and dish.
Fig. 4 is a plan of a tray with raised longitudinal bars..
Fig. 5 is a plan of a tray with raised diagonal bars.
According to this invention I make the aforesaid tray a with straight raised bars
as barranged lineable with the holes e either transversely as Fig. 1, or longitu-
dinally as Fig. 4, or diagonally as Fig. 5. The centre of the tray is slightly con-
cave and the bars at their ends are diminished so as to gradually merge or recede
in the flat portion of the tray.
By these means the soap is always kept in a condition fit for use, as the water
draining therefrom can pass in a direct course freely through the holes in the
bottom of the tray.
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:
Soap trays such as are used in lavatories and like places and with toilet or
chamber sets, formed with straight raised bars either transversely as Fig. 1, longi-
tudinally as Fig. 4 or diagonally as Fig. 5, in the manner and for the purpose as
herein before described.
