page_text: DAVID MAC WHINNIE 20 Church End Villas, Station Road Finchley, in the County
of Middlesex India-rubber Salesman 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 making of a horse shoe that requires no nailing to the
hoof, but is securely fastened by means of straps and buckles.
The object of the above mentioned invention is to give facility for fastening leather,
india-rubber, gutta-percha or any other non slipping material to the hoof, as a shoe,
instead of the iron shoes now in common use.
In making a horse shoe I fit a strong band A (an inch broad or more) close to the
beveled upper surface of the hoof B leaving the heel C free for natural expansion.
The band A is, therefore, a three quarter circle, and is made of leather, or may be
steel encased in leather.
To this band A I fasten a sole D of leather, india-rubber, gutta-percha or any other
non slipping material, thus forming the shoe; which I fasten to the hoof by means
of leather loops E attached to the three quarter circle.band.
These loops E are usually three in number, say, one placed at each end, and
one in the centre of the three quarter circle band A of sufficient length to reach
the pastern F, round which a detachable leather strap G is firmly bound, after
passing through these loops E.
By the rigidity of the band A to which the sole D is fastened, the corners of
the hoof are well protected from damage; and the whole shoe is kept in position
by being firmly secured to the pastern Fas already described.

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
First: An improved means of securely fastening to a horse hoof a shoe that
perfectly protects it, and does away with the barbarous and damaging effect of
repeatedly driving nails through the hoof.
Second-By the shoe being detachable at will, it can be resoled with material of
more adhesive properties on pavement or ice than iron.
Third As these shoes can be repaired on the premises of the proprietor, and,
practically, by unskilled labour, a saving of both time and money will be obtained
by their use.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PIPES FOR SMOKING PURPOSES and in what
manner the same is to he performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to prevent the nicotine being drawn into the mouth
with the sinoke with this view the pipe is specially constructed to effectually guard
against such a contingency. By aid of the accompanying drawings in conjunction
with the following description thereof, the nature of the invention and the means
employed for effectively carrying it out will be at once apparent. Fig. 1 represents
the bowl and part of the stem of a pipe constructed according to the principle of our
invention. Fig. 2 is the remaining portion of the stem with mouthpiece attached
thereto. Fig. 3 shows these parts united so as to represent the pipe complete
Figs. 1 and 3 are partly in section in order to show the internal construction. The
pipe and its accessories may be made of any suitable substance. Below the bowl A of
the pipe is drilled, bored or otherwise fashioned a tubular or circular chamber or
channel D, a second channel of smaller dimensions B (arranged diagonally with
that D) unites the bowl A with the chamber D a cavity or recess being cut or other-
wise formed above the chamber D at a fixed and determined point thereon. The other
part of the stem to which is attached the mouth piece H bears a tube E on which is
an aperture F which when the tube E is insorted in the chamber D corresponds or
comes exactly opposite the cavity C.
The tube E terminates in a smaller tube G.
When the two parts of the pipe are united as above described and as represented by
Fig. 3 supposing the pipe to be in use the smoke from the howl A passes through the
channel B, through the tube E to the mouth piece H and the nicotine juice from the
bowl dropping into the cavity C, F enters the tube E to make its exit by the smaller
tube G whence it falls into the chamber D from which it is quickly removed when
required by disconnecting the two parts of the pipe and expelling it or cleansing it
therefrom.

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 construction of pipes (of any material) having a longitudinal chamber or
channel D in the stem below the bowl A and a smaller channel B arranged diagonally
and communicating with that D.
2nd. The construction of the tube E with smaller tube G and cavity C, and
aperture corresponding one with the other when the two parts of the pipe are
united, the whole as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and as illustrated by
the accompanying drawings.

of Middlesex India Rubber Salesman 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 making of a hempen pad or ring the shape of the
under surface of a horse hoof, and for application to the same, instead of the iron shoe
in common use.
In making a horse shoe of hemp or flax, I weave, or pleat, a tape Fig. 1 of any of
these materials, about a half inch to one inch broad, and about one sixteenth of an
inch thick.
The tape is then rolled into a ring Fig. 2 or pad, Fig. 3 of the required size, and
firmly stitched Fig. 4 or sewn Fig. 4 through the tape, from the centre to the outer
circle of the said ring or pad, thus forming a horse shoe almost as rigid as iron.
It can be applied to the horse hoof either by nailing in the usual manner of fixing
the iron shoe, or it can be fixed to any detachable horse shoe such as Fig. 5 by sewing
or nailing as desired.
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 :-
:-
First The application to the horse hoof, of a material, that is as durable, or
more durable than iron.

page_text: Second-It is capable of being as securely fastened to the hoof by the means of
nails, while giving better protection from damage by concussion than an iron shoe.
Third: It is much more adhesive to hard smooth surfaces than iron, it is therefore
a perfect preventive from slipping, and the safest shoe that can be applied to a
horse.
Fourth It is lighter in weight than iron, and can be more speedily and easily
applied than the common iron shoe.

page_text: I, PHILIP MIDDLETON JUSTICE of 55 and 56 Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex 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 :-
My invention consists of an improved pulley sheave, the object being to construct
To this end it
economically a light, strong, and durable sheave for pulley blocks.
consists of a wooden body compressed within a metallic rini as clearly shown in the
accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 represents a face view of my improved sheave.
Fig. 2 shows a section of the wheel with flanges for holding the rim to the wood.
Fig. 3 is a portion of a like view of the completed wheel, and
Fig. 4 shows a possible addition to the wheel.
Heretofore I have constructed sheaves in which the rim is cast upon the body but
while this produced a strong and light sheave, it was found that the rim is liable to be
loose upon the body. By the present invention the rim A, is formed with a grooved
outer and cylindrical inner pheriphery, and of any approved metal or material io
receive the wear of the rope. The body of the sheave is a dise having a central hole
for the bolt cut from a board of wood, or of wood or straw pulp. The disc may be
treated in any of the well known ways to render it tough and durable. Being of
proper size relative to the inner diameter of the rim, it is forced into the rim so as to make
the whole practically solid by the expansive force of the body. I may form the rim
with flanges a, a, which after the body is in place are bent down, or I may use separate
flanges for the purpose, or omit them altogether if desired.

page_text: Where it is desired to strengthen large sheaves, metallic rods may be inserted in the
body before it is forced into the rim as shown in Fig. 4.
I am aware that wooden panels have been compressed and placed in spaces between
the hub, rim, and spokes or arms of a cast iron car wheel, and that a metal sheave
having hub spokes and rim with wood faces is not new, and I do not claim these as
my invention, neither do I broadly claim the compression, nor wood combined with a
metal wheel, as such only partially reduces the weight and cost, my invention consisting
in forming the body wholly of wood or like light material pressed into a rim, so that
the body or main part of the sheave is of this light, strong and cheap material, while
the wearing surface is of metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my foreign
correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
A sheave composed of a metallic rim, having an outer grooved periphery, and an
inner cylindrical periphery, and a body of wood or similar light material compressed
within the rim, substantially as described.

Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the

following statement :-
manner
When a corrugated plate has to extend over a considerable span, although the
corrugations may give it more than sufficient transverse strength near its supports or
bearings, the middle portion of the span is often too weak, and the plate is apt to
become deflected by its own weight or by such load as it may have to support. My
invention relates to the construction of corrugated plates in such a
as to give them increased strength to resist transverse strains especially when they
have to extend over considerable spans. For this purpose, I make the corrugations
of the plate deeper in the middle than at the ends of the plate, preferably by making
the ridges rise with a gentle curvature from each end to the middle while the bottoms
of the furrows remain level. Thus the plate when looked at from the side appears as
a combined girder with its lower side straight and its upper side curved. Figs. 1
and 2 of the accompanying drawings illustrate plates corrugated in this way, Fig.
shewing a plate with its corrugations of trapezoidal form and Fig. 2 shewing a plate
with curved or undulating corrugations. The dotted lines A B C drawn parallel to
the bottom line of the furrows from the tops A and C of the end ridges indicates the
increase B D of the depth of the corrugations at the middle. The proportions of the
depths as well as the forms of the corrugations may be varied, and the plates instead
of being straight on the under side may be curved as for arching, the increased depth
of corrugation in the middle being nevertheless maintained.
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-
The construction and use of corrugated plates having their corrugations deeper
in the middle than at the ends, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Improvements in the Fastening of Rubber Tyres to Wheels.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, M.I.M.E.
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 to attach rubber tyres to wheels more securely than
by the present methods of glueing and indented tyres and grips. The new feature of
this invention is the vulcanisation in a soft or flexible rubber tyre, of pieces of hard
rubber containing fastenings which pass through holes made in the felloe of the wheel.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figures 1 and 2 are sectional views; Fig. 1 showing the method with a bolt or nut
Fig. 2 with staple and pin. Fig. 3 is a lateral view showing the appearance of a tire
fastened to a felloe by both of these fastenings.
The modus operandi is as follows;-
Make cast of tyre A in metal or plaster with bolt or screw E to come away with the
cast. Pack enough rubber or gutta-percha C to hold the bolt or screw in place, when
vulcanised hard, and enough soft or flexible rubber to complete the tyre, Then
vulcanise the whole together.
The tyre when so made leaves the end of the bolt or screw E projecting which is
then put through a hole, made for that purpose, in the felloe B of the wheel, and is.
held or fastened by screwing the nut D on the projecting end of the bolt or screw.

page_text: The same is followed in Fig. 2 using a staple F and pin & instead of a bolt or nut.
Almost any kind of a fastening may be used as desired. Having now particularly
described and ascertained the nature of the said invention as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare
that what I claim is :-
The combination with a soft or flexible rubber tyre of pieces of hard rubber
containing fastenings adapted to pass through holes in the rim or felloe of the wheel
said hard pieces rubber being vulcanized in the sofi rubber tyre substantially as
herein described.

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 artificial bait of the kind provided with a spinner or screw
vanes, hereinafter called "spinner," to give it a rotating or partly rotating motion
when drawn through or over the water. In bait of this kind it has heretofore been
usual to fix the spinner at the head or forward part and at some distance from its barb
or barbs; but it has been found in practice with such construction that fish bite at the
spinner and escape without being caught by the barb or barbs of the hook or looks.
Now in an artificial bait according to my invention the spinner is applied at or near
the bend of the hook and in proximity to its barb or barbs. My invention is especially
adapted to spinning salmon fly, but may be applied to various kinds of artificial fly or
bait hooks.
Figs. 1 and 2 are elevations at right angles to cach other, showing the application of
my invention to an artificial bait consisting of a spinner and a two barbed fish hook.
Obviously my invention may be applied to a single or triple barbed hook.
Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views showing its application to a salmon fly.
In each of the examples shown 1 and 2 are hooked barbs and 3 the shank or bait of
the hook. 4, 4 is the spinner formed of two curved or screw vanes as usual. As
shown, the spinner is secured (it may be by soldering or brazing) near the bend of
the hook and so as to be in close proximity to the barbs thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
My improved artificial bait substantially as described and illustrated.

page_text: I WALTER BRIERLEY of Town Hall Buildings, Halifax, in the County of York,
Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN STUDS, OR FASTENERS, FOR CUFFS, COLLARS, AND SHIRT FRONTS," 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 the combination of studs, or cuff and collar
fasteners, and miniature mirrors to enable the persons wearing the same to see them-
selves without carrying a pocket mirror.
According to this my invention I mount in a ring or frame of round oblong or
other shape and made of metal, wood, bone, or other material a piece of mirror
which can be provided with a lid of metal bone, or other material, ornamented or
plain, the said lid or cover protects the mirror from exposure.

part of this specification in which:-Figs. 1. 3. and 5 are front views of the improved
stud, and mirrors. Figs. 2. 4 and 6. are side views of 1. 3. and 5 respectively.
According to this my invention the case, or frame of the stud is made of wood,
metal, bone, or other substantial material in different shapes, and forms, and of
different colours.
The exterior ring or frame a being milled or turned over the piece of mirror in
such a manner as to secure it firmly in position, at the back of the mirror is a piece of
bone, metal, or other material e to which the stem, and head d serving to fasten the

page_text: stud to the cuff or collar is secured the outer portion a of the stud may be enamelled,
embossed, or otherwise ornamented (see Fig. 1.) and after being polished, or
varnished, is ready for sale, or use. The studs can be furnished with a lid, or cover
to protect the mirror the lid being taken off, or opened on a hinge when the mirror is
required for use.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature, and object of the
said invention, and in what manner the same is to be employed I declare that what
I claim is
The parts a, b, c, d, in combination, and constituting the improved stud (with or
without the lid or cover) herein referred to, for purpose and as herein described, and

padding of a suitable soft material in the upper parts, much in the same fashion
as in ordinary tailor made coats as represented on drawing marked A. and I sew or
quilt these parts, represented on Drawing marked B. by which means I obtain a better 1
fit than is usual in waterproofs, and I, by the quilting, considerably add to the
appearance.
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. The use of an intermediate lining or padding in the upper parts of India 1
Rubber Waterproof Garments made with loose linings.
2nd. The sewing or quilting these parts.

page_text: We, SIEGMUND LUBIN, JOHN JOSEPH FRAWLEY, and ALBERT ABRAHAM, of the
City of Philadelphia, in the County of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania,
United States of America, Opticians, do hereby declare the nature of our invention in
"EYE GLASSES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a pair of eye glasses embodying our invention.
Figure 2 a side elevation of the inner end of one of the lens frames of figure 1.
Figure 3 an enlarged detail elevation of part of figure 1, and
Figure a side elevation of the outer end of one of the lens frames of figure 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Our invention consists as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings A are the lens frames, upon the inner ends of which are formed
projections or studs C to which by means of screws D are connected the ends of the
bridge or connecting spring B. F are nose rests, each, upon its back, at one side and
intermediately of its length, being provided with a lug G. The nose rests F, as
shown in the drawing, and their lugs G, are formed of metal, in any desired manner,
and are, upon their inner or clamping surfaces, provided with a cushion of rubber
or other proper material. The nose rests are, by means of the lugs G, pivotally
mounted upon the inner and lower ends of nose-rest-supports E, the outer ends of
which are at D attached to the eye glass lens frames, or to attachments thereto. The
nose-rest supports E are L-shaped and are so attached to the lens frames that the
arm or branch of each of said supports upon the end of which the respective nose-
rests are pivotally mounted, extends inwardly from and at an approximate right angle
to the lenses, with the result that the glasses can, when in use, be adjusted at a
suitable distance from and angle to the eye of the user.
It will be obvious that the construction above described permits the self adjustment
of the nose rests as shown in full and dotted lines respectively in figures 1 and 3,
and that it provides a simple and inexpensive eye glass frame the nose rests of which
nay properly and comfortably adjust themselves to the nose of the wearer and yet be
imited as to their movement beyond the extreme positions required by noses of various
hapes and sizes.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare what we claim is:
1. In combination with an eye glass frame, nose-rests, each, on its back, at one side
and intermediate of its length, provided with a lug, and L-shaped nose-rest supports,
each, at the end of its vertical branch or arm, attached to the eye glass frame, and, at
the end of its arm which extends inwardly from and at an approximate right angle to
the lenses, pivotally connected with the nose rest lugs respectively, substantially as
specified.
2. In combination with an eye glass frame, nose pieces F provided with lugs G,
and nose rest supports E, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

page_text: I, GEORGE BRAY of Blackman Lane, Leeds in the County of York, Gas Lighting
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 stateinent :-
My invention relates to gas governors of the kind in which a valve is connected to
a flexible diaphragm loaded more or less to determine the pressure of the gas issuing
from the governor.
When such governors are used it is necessary to get easy access to the diaphragm
in order to vary the load on it or to treat the flexible material with oil or other
substance to keep it pliable. Sometimes a cover is screwed down over the diaphragm,
but owing to rusting of the screws this cannot be removed without considerable
difficulty and loss of time. Sometimes the cover when it is loose, is liable to be lost
or mislaid leaving the diaphragm exposed.
Now according to my invention I apply over the diaphragm a cover hinged to the
casing of the governor so that it cannot be detached from it, and I secure this cover
by a lock if necessary so that it cannot be opened up except by the person having a
key, as shewn in the accompanying drawings, Fig 1 being an elevation and Fig. 2 a
plan. G is the casing of the governor with its flange arranged as usual to be screwed
down on the edge of the diaphragm. To this flange at H I hinge the cover C,
making the hinge preferably as shewn with a butt to prevent the cover from being
thrown back beyond a certain distance. On the opposite side of the cover C I form a
hasp K engaging on a staple S through which a pin can be passed or the hasp of a
paddock when it is desired to lock the cover C down.
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 :-
Providing a gas governor with a cover over its diaphragm this cover being hinged
to the body of the governor and secured by a hasp as herein described and represented
in the drawings.

page_text: A Method of Preparing or Creating after Printing Share Certificates,
Bonds, and other Papers or Documents having printed thereon
Figures, Numerals, or Amounts for the Purpose of Enabling
Fraudulent Alterations thereof to be Detected.
I, ALBERT SCHLUMBERGER, of 1, Rue Bausset, Paris, France, 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 has reference to the preparation or treatment after printing of share
certificates, bonds, coupons, lottery tickets, and other papers or documents having
printed thercon figures, numerals, or amounts, the object being to prevent fraudulent
alterations in such figures, numerals, or amounts. For this purpose the surface of the
paper after it has been printed upon as aforesaid is roughened, by which expression I
mean embossed, grained, (like shagreen,) or watered all over with the exception of
such portions as it may be desired to reserve for signatures.
Roughening such as referred to may be produced upon the printed surface of the
paper by stamping, or as I prefer by rolling by means of cylinders having their
surfaces suitably formed to produce the desired roughening of the surface of the
printed paper after printing and figuring or numbering. The object of roughening
the surface of the paper in the manner described after the printing figuring and
numbering, is to prevent the numbers, characters, or any part of the printed matter
from being removed by washing or scraping, and this is effected, inasmuch as if it be
attempted to tamper with a printed document treated in this way, the surface thereof
becomes damaged, and the injury cannot be repaired, and in this way the attempt at
fraud is rendered evident.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner it is to be performed, I desire to have it known that I am
aware that papers have had parts thereof stamped by hand by means of dry stamping
instruments, and I do not claim any such partial or localised stamping in the
manner referred to as forming any part of my invention, but I declare that what I
do claim is:-
:―
Preparing or treating share certificates, bonds, coupons, lottery tickets, and other
papers or documents having printed thereon figures, numerals, or amounts, by
producing on the printed paper a roughened surface by embossing or graining (like
shagreen) or watering as above described after printing, in order to render visible
fraudulent alterations as above set forth.
