Improvements in and in connection with Letters.
I, EDWARD BETTIS of 122 Balaam Street Plaistow Clock Maker and I,
WILLIAM BETTIS of 48 Arthingworth Street, West Ham, Decorator both of the
County of Essex 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 to provide letters, such as initials, monograms,
and crests, which may be easily and readily secured to any kind of portable
property, such as hand bags, walking sticks, or other property and consists essen-
tially in roughening the back of the letters by means of projections and securing
them by means of a screw and a nut of peculiar construction to prevent it
turning off.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings:
Fig. 1 represents a vertical section of a letter and fastening device constructed
according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a back elevation of a letter.
Fig. 3 is a plan of a nut for fastening the letter to the material, and
Fig. 4 is an elevation of the same.
The letter a, which may be stamped out of any metal plate, is formed with
points or steady pins which pass into the material c to which it is secured by
the screw d, also attached to or forming part of the letter a, and the nut e. The
said nut e is preferably of hemispherical form and has a groove or recess f, the
outer ring g thus formed being cut by a slit h so as to form a spring blade i whose
heel is turned outwardly to form a tooth as shown. It will be readily understood
that the nut turus freely on the screw when turned in a right band direction, as
when screwing on to the screw d, but is prevented from turning in the opposite
direction by the heel which is then pressed into the material c.
The nut e may be
replaced by a square or other shaped nut having one or more simple ratchet or
saw teeth instead of the blade i and heel l.
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 what
we claim is :-
1. The combination of a letter formed with projections or steady pins for taking
into the material and secured to or forming part of the said letter, a screw passing
through the material, and a nut for securing the said letter substantially as
described.
2. For securing letters, a fixing nut formed with a spring blade or tooth for
preventing its backward motion substantially as described.

Improvements in Grooving or Scoring Apparatus for Cardboard and
the like.
A communication from EMIL SALTZKORN, Consul, and LUDWIG NICOLAI, Manu-
facturer, both of Lobtauer Strasse 20, Dresden, Saxony, German Empire.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 cardboard grooving or scoring apparatus shown in the accompanying
drawings is new as far as relates to the employment of only one guiding roller
which is arranged rectilineally in front of the grooving or scoring knife or tool.
Formerly two or more rollers were provided at the sides of the knife or tool.
For the purposes of this invention the beam or bridge a on one side of which the
plane or knife b is adjustably mounted in dove-tailed guides by means of a support c,
is provided on the other side in the same manner with a support d, which carries
the roller or disc e which may have a smooth or grooved or toothed edge so that
the roller operates on the same part of the cardboard as the knife or tool close to
whose cutting edge or edges it rotates. By this arrangement of the roller e in
front of the knife or tool ba much easier and more effectual drawing of the card-
board or the like is attained, the cardboard being simultaneously held down on the
scoring line.
It is obvious that the construction of the knife or tool is not restricted to that
represented in the drawings but may be of any suitable kind as for instance two
inclined cutters with or without an intermediate blade or the like may be used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I claim is,-
1. In apparatus for grooving or scoring cardboard or the like the employment
of a roller or disc such as e in front of the grooving or scoring knife or tool for
keeping the cardboard or the like pressed down at the scoring line.
2. In apparatus for grooving or scoring cardboard or the like the combination
with the knife or tool of a device pressing on the cardboard in advance and in the
plane of the axis of the knife substantially as described.

Improved Means for Temporarily Securing Books or the like in
Covers, applicable to Check or Sales Books and other uses.
A communication from abroad by THOMAS MCDOWELL, of Niagara Falls, in the
State of New York, United States of America.
We, LAMSON PARAGON SUPPLY COMPANY LIMITED of 16 Charterhouse
Buildings, Aldersgate, London, E.C. 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:—
This invention relates to improved means for temporarily securing books or the
like in covers, it being applicable to the securing of a block of check or sales slips
in a cover for shop counter use or for securing a catalogue or the like temporarily
within a cover.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is an edge view or elevation of a portion of a check or sales book and a
cover having this invention applied thereto the fastening portion of the device
being open.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the fastening device closed and
Fig. 3 is a face or plan view with the fastening device open.
A check or sales book a as shown usually consists of a number of sheets suitably
arranged for the rapid production with the aid of a carbon sheet or sheets of a
duplicate or triplicate copy of a bill. It is desirable that such books be firmly
held within the cover 6 though only temporarily so, as they are subjected to much
rapid handling and if not properly secured are frequently found out of the cover
and in disorder when required.
According to this invention, there is secured in the cover by ivetting or
otherwise a metal frame c having two ends, a side, and a bottom plate and in the
two sides is pivoted a metal clip d of angular shape as clearly shown in Fig. 1 such
clip having preferably thumb pieces e for the purpose of lifting same. The stub
edge of the sales or check book is placed beneath the clip when the latter is open
as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and the clip is then closed down upon it as shewn in
Fig. 2 so as to hold it firmly.
As the stub remains while the leaves of the book are gradually torn out it will
be seen that the clip need not be touched until a fresh book is to be inserted in the
cover.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to us by our foreign correspondent and in what manner the
same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
1. For temporarily securing books or the like in covers a pivoted angular clip
substantially as described.
2. The improved means for temporarily securing books or the like in covers
applicable to check or sales book and other uses substantially as described and
illustrated.

ARTHUR WILSON Decorator 156 Blackburn Road Accrington WALTER
FURNESS Chemist and Druggist 189 Blackburn Road Accrington 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 letters of this showcard are raised on the surface of the card & are solid & are
made in the following manner. A tube, with a point of various sizes (according to the
size of letter wanted) is filled with a composition of fine plaster of Paris & liquid
gum arabic of a sufficient consistency to run easily out of the said tube, the said
tube being used in the form of a fountain pen. After the letters are made in this
manner they are coloured & frosted with various colours of bronze powders &
frostings, the whole allowed to set hard, when the waste powder & frostings are
brushed off & the card is finished.
The special feature of this novelty is solid raised letters coloured & frosted.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said
invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim as an improvement on other showcards is-
Solid raised letters formed out of plaster of Paris coloured & frosted in great
variety of colours & designs.

Improvements relating to the Tires of Wheels suitable for Velocipedes and other Vehicles.

Improvements relating to the Tires of Wheels suitable for
Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
I, VIRGIL JOSEF MAIER, of Bismarckstrasse 15 Munich in the Empire of
Germany Mechanician 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 purpose of this invention is to provide an elastic tire of greater durability
than those at present employed upon velocipedes, the improved tire being applicable
to vehicles in general according to the strength of its construction and the number
of elastically cushioned bands of which it is composed.
Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing is a side elevation of a wheel with the improved
tire.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the tire on a larger scale.
The tire consists of several (preferably four) bands a a of fine steel about
3 centimeters broad lying one over the other at comparatively small intervals and
spaced and supported by small elastic cushions b b of rubber or the like. These
cushions are rivetted between each band and the next as shown in Fig. 2 so
that the bands are held at equal distances apart and preferably also at equal
intervals.
The arrangement of the cushions in the several rows is preferably such that a
cushion in one row corresponds to the centre of an interval between two cushions
in the next row.
The band nearest the centre of the wheel which may form the rim or felly of the
wheel itself may be curved or have outwardly bent rims. The outermost band may
have an exterior tire of rubber.
Such a tire is of greater durability than a rubber tire and the objection of its
greater weight may be recompensed by the gain in lightness due to use of fewer
spokes cc and formation of these spokes or tubular steel.
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;-
1) A wheel tire composed of two or more steel bands a a with elastic cushions b
interspersed between them.
2) A wheel tire composed of a plurality of steel bands a a preferably four in
number in combination with cushions bb interspersed between them, cushions in
each row corresponding with intervals in the next substantially as described.

Improved Manure.
I JACOB SCHMITT, of Bubenheim, Rhenish Bavaria, Germany, Manure
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 said invention relates to improved manure consisting of certain mineral
matters in combination with coal dust for restoring to the soil those constituents
which growing plants rob it of.
The proportion of mineral matter used along with the coal dust will vary
somewhat according to the nature of the soil and the degree to which it may be
exhausted-by-the-various crops-grown-thereon. I-however find-from-experiments-
that on the average the following mixtures yield the best results when used on land
which is rich or poor in lime. These are generally the principal distinctions to be
regarded when applying my said invention.
1. For land which is rich in lime
10
per cent. of mineral phosphates
10 per cent. of sulphuric acid
15 per cent. of coal dust
65 per cent. of porphyry and granite.
2. For land which is poor in lime
15 per cent. of coal dust
15 per cent. of gypsum (sulphate of lime)
30 per cent. of dolomite (carbonite of lime and magnesia)
30 per cent. of porphyry and granite
10 per cent. of mineral phosphates.
The various ingredients are finely pulverized by disintegrators, runners, grinding
mills or the like and the comminuted materials are intimately mixed with each other
by any suitable mixing machinery.
The constituents of this manure being insoluble in water it possesses the great
advantage of not being rapidly dispersed by rain-water but remains to yield up its
nutriment and to act much in the same manner as the alluvial deposit from primeval
mountain ranges which in many parts of the world has such a marvellous effect in
producing and preserving a fertile soil.
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 mineral manure consisting essentially of a mixture of coal porphyry granite
and mineral phosphates with or without other mineral ingredients the whole in a
fine state of comminution and intimately mixed substantially as set forth.

I, FREDERICK SARA 4 Greenbank Avenue Plymouth 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 screws for presses used for compressing substances, such
for example as presses for expressing liquids from substances & similar purposes, the
object being to provide a screw press, which, when adjusted will exercise a
continuous pressure upon the substance, through the action of a coil spring acting
upon the said screw spindle & the same is carried out as follows reference being
had to the annexed drawing in which :-
Figure 1. is a sectional side elevation of my invention.
Figure 2. plan view of Figure 1.
fis the screw spindle upon which the square screw nut d engages. This nut is
attached to and carries the tube which encloses the screw spindle f. A coil
spring g surrounds the tube e and bears against the uut d & the top or end of a
square casing or cap c, which acts as a guide to the nut & & prevents the rotation
of same. This casing or cap is suitably connected to the flauge or plate a by
means of the bolts & nuts h or the like. This flange is connected to the press
beam, or body of the press by any suitable means. The spindle may carry a
plate or other convenient means of communicating pressure at or about the end i of
same.
It will be seen that when the spindle is operated by a handle or other con-
venient means attached thereto; as soon as the spindle ceases to descend owing to
the substance being compressed the further operation of the spindle will cause the
nut d to rise & compress the spring g, thus maintaining the pressure upon the
substance as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said iuven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The combination & arrangement of the various parts substantially as herein
described & illustrated.
2. In screws for presses of the class herein described, an outer casing bolted to a
flange or plate, said outer casing enclosing & acting as a guide to a nut engaging
on the screw spindle & carrying a tube or sheath, a coil spring surrounding said
sheath & bearing upon the end of the outer casing, and nut aforesaid substantially

Improvements in Athletic Boots.
I, WILLIAM KIRKLAND, of 18 formerly of 28 Clyde Street, Leicester, Boot
Manufacturer's Manager, 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 playing football the heel of the boot is often brought into play and in order
to make this more effective I take the tanned piece of leather constituting the
stiffener which is usually placed between the lining and outside material, and
after crimping it I attach it to the outside of the boot upper around the heel, thus
giving the player a better grip of the ball and a smoother surface inside the
boot.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1. is a side view of a boot provided with my improvement, and
Figure 2 is an elevation of part of the stiffener separately.
The stiffener a is made usually of a piece of tanned leather having the ordinary
sinooth surface and it is placed between the upper and the lining of the boot but
according to my invention, I crimp or reed the outer surface of the stiffener in the
manner now well understood and attach it to the outside of the upper, as shown
at Figure 1 by which means I obtain a more effective kicking surface at the
heel of the boot and at the same time make the inside of the boot smoother
than when the stiffener is placed between the lining and the upper.
The stiffener a is skivered as usual around its edges, as indicated by the
broken line in Figure 2 and the space enclosed by such broken line is reeded
or crimped all over, a portion of such crimping or reeding being shown at c
Figure 2.
The stiffener although preferably made of the leather ordinarily used for such
purpose, may be made of any other suitable material.
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 athletic boot having the stiffener crimped and attached to the outside of the

two shells with shanks fitting up between the gums and the lips. Furthermore it
can have if desirable a hinge so that the teeth can be made to move a little.
can also have a little reed or whistle fixed in at the back of the teeth so that the
person can utter a sort of artificial screech at the same time that he exhibits his
ferocious teeth. The whole it is estimated can be made for about a halfpenny
without the whistle or for one penny or thereabouts with the whistle.
It
The drawings show a specimen first--as used and second--3 different views of 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 :-
To the outer covering of pneumatic tyres as at present generally known I attach
two rings of wire in size of suitable gauge the diameter of each ring being nearly
or about the diameter of the wheel. These rings where used at the present time
are joined by means of brazing, welding, or some similar process: but my invention
consists of a combination with pneumatic tyres of rings of wire having no joint
being weldless and formed out of the solid metal. This is done by rolling in
manner well known to the trade. A blank is provided having a hole in it and by
rolling in a well-known manner this blank is worked up into the required ring
without any joint the metal being continuous throughout. The object of this
invention is to prevent breakage at the joint which is always liable to occur.
rings may be placed in the edge or edges of the cover or tyre by lapping it round
the ring or they may be separate from the cover and fit over the edges thereof
according to the construction of the tyre.
The
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 :-
1. In a pneumatic tyre a jointless ring for the purpose described.
2. The combination with a pneumatic tyre of a jointless ring substantially as
described.

We, ISAAC SHIMWELL MCDOUGALL and JAMES THOMAS MCDOUGALL, both
of 10 Mark Lane in the City of London, Manufacturing Chemists do hereby.
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Hitherto in the preparation of fumigants the active principles have generally
been absorbed into fibrous materials, such as paper or cellulose, or have been held
together by the addition of gums or resins. We find it to be an improvement to
use meals, flours or powders possessing binding properties obtained from cereals or
other natural growths as binding materials in the production of fumigants and this
is what we claim as our invention.

Improvements in or connected with Blackboards.
I JEAN BAPTISTE FOURNIER, of Offerque, in the Republic of France, Tutor
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 or connected with blackboards, by
means of which certain advantages may be obtained.
I construct what I may term a multiple-blackboard, that is to say, I arrange a
combination of blackboards in such a manner that the amount of available writing
or drawing surface presented to view may be varied as desired.
In order that my invention may be readily understood, I shall now proceed to
describe, by way of example, and with the aid of the accompanying drawings one
form of my invention.
In the drawings
Fig. 1 represents diagrammatically an illustration of a blackboard constructed
in accordance with my invention, and
Fig. 2 represents diagrammatically an end view of the same.
In these figures, a is a stand supporting a case or box b, two sides, c and d, of
which form the two principal writing or drawing surfaces. Within this case or
box I mount or suspend on rods or guides two blackboards e and f, each with
two writing or drawing surfaces, in such a manner that they may by means of
handles 9 g be drawn out or pushed into the case or box, as may be desired. These
blackboards, e and f, are made to slide on the guide rods hand the said black-
boards are so connected or hinged to the said rods that when they are drawn out
they may be brought to the same inclination as the two primary writing or drawing
surfaces c and d, and held in their inclined positions by pins or stops at ii.
A multiple-blackboard constructed as above described may be adjusted so as to
present one or two or three writing or drawing faces on each of its sides, as may be
desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
A multiple-blackboard consisting of a case or box, with two writing or drawing
surfaces always visible, in combination with two blackboards, each provided with
double writing or drawing surfaces, and capable of being moved in and out of the
case or box as desired, in such manner as to present one, two, or three writing or
drawing surfaces on each side of a multiple-blackboard substantially as above
described.
