An Improved Clip for the Ends of the Ribs of Umbrellas, Sunshades,
and the like.
1, JAMES MATTHEWS 28, Rothesay Road, South Norwood, Jeweller, 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 clips for retaining the ends of the ribs of umbrellas,
sunshades or the like when they are out of use. The usual method of effecting
this is by means of an indiarubber ring, or a metal cup-like ring sliding down the
stick just below the handle. Each of these methods is open to objection, the
first as not being easily put on, used, or removed, and the latter as being a fixture.
My improved appliance for this purpose is easily put on and removed, and can
be used in succession on different uinbrellas or the like.
In carrying out my invention I take a piece of wire at each end of which is
a knot or equivalent. The wire is of sufficient length, and bent round, so as to
encircle the tips of the ribs and overlap when the umbrella or like is closed. The
appliance may be attached to the stick or handle by a chain, cord or the like.
A band of metal may be used instead of the wire, and any kind of terminal instead
of a knot or ball may be employed.
In order to further explain my invention I make reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a view of the appliance complete and Fig. 2
a view of it attached to the umbrella. a is the wire or band, 6 the knots or equiva-
lents, at the extremities of a; c is the chain or like for attaching the appliance
to the stick or handle (this chain may be omitted); d is the umbrella; e the
handle.
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 :-
A clip for the tips of the ribs of umbrellas, sunshades or the like and consisting
essentially of a wire or band, the ends of which overlap one another and are
furnished with knots or equivalents. The whole substantially as described in the
above specification and exemplified in the accompanying drawings.

A New or Improved Handle for Cycles.
I, ANTONIE HILDEBRAND, born Weninger, of Theresienstrasse 16 and 27,
Munich, in the Empire of Germany, 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 spring operated handle for cycles, which is intended
to receive elastically the shocks, which would otherwise shake the hand of the
cyclist when passing over uneven roads. This purpose is obtained by fixing the
handle on the steering rod by means of a hinge joint, which allows only a down-
ward movement, and by means of a plate spring lying under the handle or a strong
spiral spring arranged on the hinge joint the return to the normal position is
effected. The shocks then only cause a small movement in the hand and thus avoid
shocks to the handle.
In the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the steering bar end with handle.
Fig. 2 plan view of the handle part and joint.
Fig. 3 plan view of the steering bar end and joint.
Fig. 4 cross section of the joint of the handle part..
Fig. 5 cross section of the joint seen from the end of the steering bar.
The handle part A is provided with a fork like elongation B, in which the flat
end C of the steering bar end D lies and is fixed as a hinge joint by means of the
pin E. On the handle part A is screwed on the underside a spring F.
The flattenings b and c on the fork B and the flat end C allow a small rotation
of the handle round the pin E, which must be great enough to receive the vibrations
of the handle. The hinge joint allows only a small lowering of the handle whilst
a raising or a side movement is completely excluded. During action the quickly
succeeding shocks are received by pressing down the handle the spring arranged
underneath presses the handle into its horizontal position. On driving up hill
when the cyclist pulls the steering rod towards himself and upwards the same
stability is obtained by using the improved handle.
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 :-
In cycle bar bandles the hinge joint arranged between the steering bar end D
and the handle A formed by the fork like end B of the handle A and the flat end C
of the steering rod D, whereby a small lowering of the handle A is rendered
possible which lowering is received by a spring Farranged under the handle or
in a hollow of the hinge joint, all substantially as described and illustrated.

Improvements in Sewing Needles.
Year: 1896

page_text: Date of Application, 16th June, 1896-Accepted, 18th July, 1896
Improvements in Sewing Needles.
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 the Firm of Jos. Zimmermann,
Needle Manufacturers, of Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of the present invention is the creation and manufacture of a sewing
needle for the hand of a particular shape, distinguished by a flattening of the middle
surface whereby the working of the needle in passing through stuffs, cloths or other
tissues is facilitated.
The object of this flattening is to facilitate also the threading of the needle by the
eye always being in front when the needle is held between the fingers the latter
being pressed on the flattened surface.
The middle flattened surface therefore is in the same plane as the flattened part in
which is formed the eye, as represented in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying
drawing.
The sections A A, BB, CC and DD in Fig. 1 are shown in the same order in
Fig. 2; and it will be observed that the section goes from the flattened part A A
to a round section at BB which is transformed from BB to D D to a flattened
section as indicated at C C and towards the point of the needle from D D again retakes
the round section.
The advantages which result from this arrangement are, on the one hand the
facility in threading, on the other hand the rapidity of passage of the needle through
the closest tissues and the facility of holding the needle after the passage; the
fingers do not become fatigued and the workman can work much longer than with
the ordinary needles.
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 needle provided with a flattened middle surface facilitating at the same time, the
threading of the needle, the hold and the passage of same through the tissues, in.
substance as described above and represented in the accompanying drawing.

I, OSCAR ZIEGENSPECK of 56 Kommandantenstrasse, Berlin in the 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 :-
This invention consists in arranging an inspection aperture in envelopes or
wrappers of any shape or kind, such, for instance, as pocket books, letter and
other cases, envelopes, sheaths, cases or other like means of packing, for such
articles as fish-hooks and embroidery hooks, sewing needles, embroidery needles,
knitting needles, safety pins, needles and the like for surgical purposes, yarns,
silks and other like articles; and in enclosing or covering such aperture by means
of a flexible transparent material (such for instance, as gelatine) so that the
contents of the package may be viewed or ascertained.
The invention is shown in Figures 1-8 of the accompanying drawings.
The case, wrapper or envelope a which may be provided with a slit d in which
the cover flap e may be inserted in the ordinary manner, has an inspection
aperture c cut out, or several such may be provided as shown in Figure 8. This
aperture c, Figure 3, is suitably covered with a flexible transparent disc or plate b,
made, for instance, of gelatine, that is to say, the disc or plate b is inserted in the
envelope over or under the aperture c, or the disc may be firmly connected with
the envelope. It is evident from this that the shape or dimensions of the envelope
or of the inspection opening are immaterial, and that it is also immaterial how
many of such inspection apertures are made in one envelope, because such may be
arranged according to the requirements in each case.
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 :-
The improvement in envelopes, wrappers and cases of any suitable shape and

There is also a reflecting surface behind the burner to increase the effect.
By this means the metallic cylinder becomes intensely heated, & a source of
radiant heat, whereas most gas stoves heat the air principally by convection.
It results from this construction that the flame becomes whitened & the amount
of light very much increased while at the same time the products of combustion
escape up the chimney.
I also provide a shutter placed in the chimney for the purpose of regulating the
draught of air to cause the flame to burn steadily.
The batswing or other gas lighting burner A is fixed between the screws H & H'
on the block D.
The burner A is enclosed in a metallic, cylinder lined with fringed asbestos B,
(shown in section in B') rigidly secured by blocks G & G¹.
Fixed above this is the chimney C which carries away the fumes.
The chimney C is provided with a shutter I; capable of being turned from a
horizontal to a vertical position in order to regulate the draught, thus allowing the
light to be most advantageously used.
The reflecting surface F for increasing the light is placed behind the
burner A.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The use of a closely fitting metallic cylinder round the frame lined with
fringed asbestos.
2. The combination of cylinder, flue, reflector & outer case substantially as
described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Sulphuretted Colouring Matters.
Year: 1896

page_text: For example: I heat in a closed iron vessel at a temperature of from 240 to
260 degrees Centigrade for 8 hours:
22 kilogrammes of motaphenylenediamine
6-40 kilogrammes of sulphur.
4. Sulphuretted derivatives.-Sulphaminol (metoxythiodiphenylamine) reacts
upon sulphur in the presence of ammonia so as to yield a colouring matter which is
soluble in alkaline sulphides.
Thioresorcin likewise yields, in the presence of ammonia and of sulphur, a
colouring matter which is soluble in alkaline sulphides.
5. Triamidated derivatives. Chrysoidin, resulting from the connection of
diazobenzol with metaphenylenediamine, treated with sulphuret of sodium to which
sulphur is subsequently added, yields likewise a direct colouring product for
vegetable fibres. Bismarck-brown likewise reacts under the same conditions.
For example: I heat in a vessel provided with a mechanical stirring apparatus
at a temperature of 240 degrees:
6.40 kilogrammes of sulphur.
As soon as the product has formed a resistible mass which stops the agitation,
the reaction is terminated.

Improvements in Leno- and Lappet-woven Fabrics.
ROBERT FITTON of 13 Bloom Street Manchester, Cotton Spinner and
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 consists in the production of improved effects in leno- and
lappet-woven fabrics by the introduction therein of metallic or metal coated
threads, as hereinafter described.
In the production of the leno fabric according to this invention, the metallic
threads or metal coated threads are wound upon a separate beam, or preferably
upon separate bobbins. Each of these threads is carried in the loom by a doup
heald, and is crossed over in weaving so as to produce the desired open, zigzag, or
other effect, as is well understood in ordinary leno weaving.
The lappet effect is produced by means of needles threaded with the metallic
or metal coated threads, and arranged in the loom in front of the reed. These
needles are arranged to reciprocate parallel with the reed, and at the proper
moment, to rise into the shed so as to allow the weft to pass under each loop of
metallic or metal coated thread in the needles, after which the needles drop to allow
the pick to be beaten up. Usually some of the needles only will be threaded with
the metallic or metal coated threads, but this will be determined by the effect
desired to be produced. The remaining needles, if any, are threaded with ordinary
single or doubled yarn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Leno and lappet-woven fabrics having metallic or metal coated threads inter-
woven therein, substantially as and by the means herein before described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Automatic Appliances for Extinguishing
Lamps.
We, JOHN TOURTEL and THE TOURTEL GAS AND GENERAL ENGINEERING
COMPANY LIMITED, both of 67 Aldersgate Street, in the City of London,
Engineers, and JOHN DAVIDSON of 272 Friern Road, Dulwich, in the County of
Surrey, Clockmaker, 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 :-
Lamps have been made with appliances so arranged that the overturning of the
lamp automatically effected extinction. Our invention relates to the construction
of the appliance for this purpose in such a manner that it does not interfere with
the burner, which remains independent of it and can be removed or otherwise dealt
with as if the lamp had no such appliance.
We shall describe this construction referring to the accompanying drawing,
which is a vertical section of a lamp furnished with an automatic extinguishing
appliance according to our invention.
The wick tubes are surrounded by sleeves A which can be lowered by means of
a lever B to expose the wicks when the lamp is lighted, or can be raised by the
lever to extinguish the flames. A rod C passes down a central tube to one arm D
of a lever which is mounted in the hollow base of the lamp, and has its other arm E
loaded or urged downwards by the spring acting on D, so that, when the lamp is
lifted or overturned, the arm E, being no longer supported, descends pushing up
the rod C. The top of this rod in that case meeting a cross bar F which connects
the two sleeves A pushes the sleeves up, causing extinction of the flames. In
order to allow of the lamp being lifted without causing extinction, the rod C is
connected by a cross pin H to an external ring K. In lifting the lamp, the hand
is applied in such a manner as to keep the ring K down, thereby preventing the
rod C from being raised. As the rod is not mechanically connected to any part of
the burner or sleeves, as in other self extinguishing lamps, but merely acts upon
the sleeves by a push, the burner can be removed or otherwise dealt with as if no
automatic extinguishing appliance were present.
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 :-
An automatic appliance for extinguishing a lamp, constructed and operating
substantially as described with reference to the drawing.

Improved Elastic Wheel Tyre.
We HENRY GRIMBLEBY of Barrow Haven in the County of Lincoln Manager
and SYDNEY TURNER of No. 24 Kingston Terrace Witham in the Borough of
Kingston-upon-Hull 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 consists of an elastic ribbon enveloping a loose ring and the felloes
or rim of a wheel the ring is placed concentric and outside the rim of a wheel. The
ribbon sides are laced to each other between the spokes on the inside of the rim of
the wheel or otherwise secured to the rim of the wheel so that the ring is held
towards concentricity by the resilient nature of the ribbon against the pressure of
of the road forcing it more or less excentric. The said ring to be of steel or other
suitable material of any convenient section or sections preferably segmental of a
sufficient internal diameter to allow clearance space when subject to the varying
pressure between the resistance of the road and the weight of the load the ends of
the ring to be secured to each other preferably so that the circumference of the
ring can be increased or reduced as required. The said elastic ribbon to be of a
suitable section preferably grooved to receive the ring-its edges secured to the
rim by being laced or otherwise and the ends to be secured to each other or not as
required. In the accompanying drawings in Figs. 1. 2. and 3 A represents the
ring-B the elastic ribbon and C the wheel rim in Fig. 1 D the lacings and in
Figs. 2 & 3 E the alternative fastenings either by screw nip or otherwise.
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
The arrangement which enables the transmission of the weight force resisted by
the road from that part of the tyre that is in contact with the road to other
portions of the elastic ribbon tyre in the manner before described without the aid
of confined air and as illustrated on the accompanying drawings in section.
