COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hinges.
I, EDWIN JOHN WOOLLARD of High Street, Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire,.
Ironmonger, 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 an improved method of making up hinges and
particularly relates to that class of hinge, known in the trade as "water joint.
tee hinges" used principally on flaps and doors for out door purposes. The
improvement consists essentially of doubling the end of the strap part of the hinge-
over upon itself, the loop thus formed first passing through the staple or extension
bar in the back part of the hinge. The doubled over portion of the strap is
securely fastened by the insertion of an ordinary wood screw or small bolt and nut
which not only keeps the return end of the strap in position, but also fastens the
hinge to the door or flap.
I will now describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
in which :-
Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a hinge constructed as above described.
Fig. 2 shows an edge or side view of Fig. 1.
a, is the strap part of the hinge.
b, is the turned over portion of the strap a.
c, is the back plate of the hinge, and
cl the staple or loop embraced by the turned over portion b, of the strap a.
d, d, are screw holes.
It will be understood that my improved hinge can be made at a lower cost since
the welding or rivetting of the parts of the strap is dispensed with. My invention
is applicable to hinges of other forms as well as to "tee hinges."
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 hinges of the kind described, the improved method of construction, consisting
of the turned over strap part b, first passing through the staple c', of the back
plate c, said turn over portion being fastened by a screw bolt or nail which also
attaches the hinge to the flap or door on which it is fixed, as herein described and
set forth.

An Improved Stamp-inking Pad.
I, THEODOR WACHSMUTH, of 20 Katzbachstrasse, Berlin, 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 :-
It is well known that with the stamps or stamp-inking pads heretofore used it
has only been possible to produce impressions of a single colour, and it is the object.
of the present invention to provide a stamp inking pad whereby it is possible to.
obtain impressions of different colours.
Referring to the drawings
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved stamp inking pad having the
stamp resting in position thereupon; while
Figure 2 is an elevation thereof.
My improved stamp-inking pad consists substantially of a plate a of sheet metal,.
which is furnished with ribs b forming a framework and corresponding to the stamp
used. In the compartments formed by these ribs are arranged the inking pada c
corresponding to the lines, groups of words, or general design of the stamp, and
separated from each other. This division may, however, be extended to single
letters and figures. The inking pads may be soaked with any desired colour or
filled with a colour paste enabling the type on the stamp to give an impression of
variegated and corresponding colours.
By this means I am able to produce, in lieu of impressions of a single colour,.
those having any desired number of colours.
The pads are so arranged that all may be removed at the same time by means of
the detachable plate a thereby facilitating the inking thereof.
In this manner I obtain not only impressions from stamps, but also from rollers.
and other surfaces used in the printing of fabrics, by employing such inking pads.
of various colours, whereby the coloured impressions may be obtained by a single.
operation.
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. A stamp-inking pad, in which the pads c to be soaked with various colours-
are separated from each other according to the type on the stamp.
2. A stamp-inking pad in which the plate a carrying the inking pads between.
ribs b is removable for the purpose of soaking the pads c with various colours.
3. A stamp-inking pad substantially as hereiubefore described and illustrated.

page_text: I, JOHN NAPIER SPENCE of Heathfield, Harrow, in the County of Middlesex,
Analyst, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new or improved insecticide or material for killing or
driving away vermin. I have found that a mixture of borax and sugar, preferably
three parts of borax in the form of powder to one part of sugar forms a suitable
composition.
I can obtain the same results by the use of borax alone, although I prefer to add
sugar to attract the insects, and in the place of sugar I may employ other sweet and
attractive ingredients.
It is possible that this powder may act more in the nature of an irritant than a
virulent poison, but it has the result of driving the vermin away. This insect powder
has the additional advantage in that it has no objectionable smell, and is not in itself
poisonous to pets such as dogs and cats.

same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
My invention relates to a new or improved insecticide for killing or driving away
vermin.
I have found that a mixture of borax and sugar with preferably a trace of
charcoal or lamp-black forms a suitable composition. In mixing the ingredients I
prefer to use the following proportions, namely, 3 parts of borax in the form of
powder to one part of sugar, and to 140 pounds of the mixture I may add
8 ounces of charcoal or lamp-black but I do not confine myself to these proportions.
In the place of sugar I may use other suitable sweet and attractive ingredients.
This insect powder acts more in the nature of an irritant than a poison, but it
has the effect in a very short time of driving the vermin completely away. This
powder has the additional advantage in that it has no objectionable smell and is not
poisonous to domestic animals such as dogs and cats.

Improvements in or relating to Bracket Holders or Sockets for
Affixing to Shelves and the like.
I, JAMES GOODWIN, of 35 and 36 Hosier Lane, Smithfield, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 relates to bracket or like holders, commercially known as sash
sockets, that is to say, sockets in which the ends of the rods or brackets rest which
are employed for the display of goods in shop fittings. The improvement has for
its object to so construct these sash sockets that they may be readily attached to
or detached from the edge of a glass or other shelf, plate or the like. For this
purpose the socket is formed as, or has secured to it a spring clip, which may be
caused to embrace the edge of a shelf in such a manner that the socket is firmly
held.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one form of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the same affixed to a shelf and carrying a
bracket.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view partly broken away showing a modification.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
A spring A preferably constructed of steel is bent into the form of a clip, and
has holes bored in it in which is secured a short piece of tube B either by brazing,
flaring the ends or otherwise. This tube B forms a socket in which may rest the
end D of a bracket D; the arms of the clip A are so shaped that it may be
readily forced on to the edge of a shelf E in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2. If
desired the tube B may be dispensed with, the holes in the spring forming the
socket for the end of the bracket.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the sash socket B is constructed of brass or
other metal, as a separate piece, and has attached to it, by means of pins, rivets,
bolts, brazing or otherwise, the spring clip A.
The clip may be constructed with more than one socket for the attachment of, a
corresponding number of brackets. The sockets are adapted to carry any form of
bracket whether adjustable or otherwise, which is ordinarily employed in shop
fittings, that which is shown in Fig. 2 being merely represented by way of
example.
The inner faces of the arms of the clip A may be roughened or faced with
rubber or other material in order to form good gripping surface. If desired either
the spring A or the socket B, or both, inay be constructed of other metals or
materials than those above described, such as aluminium, vulcanite, celluloid or the
like. The breadth of the spring clip and socket may of course be varied in.
accordance with requirements.
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 L
claim is :-

Improvements in Stylographic and other Pens.
I, FRANCIS PATRICK REID of Mulberry House, Goring, Sussex, Gentleman,
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 connection with stylographic and other
pens, and has for its object to provide an arrangement which will render such
articles of greater utility than is at present the case.
In carrying out my invention I propose to provide the pen with a calendar con-
sisting of the days of the week, the dates of the month and also the months printed
on the body of the pen or on suitable sheaths or tubes placed around it. The
tube having the days or the dates is arranged so as to revolve bringing the days
and corresponding numbers into proper relative position.
The months may also be capable of turning or may be covered with an outer
tube having a slot allowing one only of the months to appear at a time.
The date can then immediately be seen from the pen without requiring the use
of a separate calendar.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had
to the accompanying drawing which shows a stylographic pen according to my
invention.
The body of the pen A is provided at its centre a with the dates or numbers
corresponding to the days of the month which arc printed on its surface. By the
side of these dates a small tube B, having the days of the week printed upon it, is
placed, this tube or sheath being capable of turning so as to bring the days against
the corresponding dates.
At the other side of the dates the outer sheath or tube C is provided having the
slot e through which one of the months printed on the pen can appear.
Instead of printing the dates on the body of the pen, the loose tube B may be
used for this purpose.
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.) Improvements in stylographic and other pens consisting in printing a
calendar upon them and upon a moveable tube or sheath adapted to be turned
into any required position substantially as described and for the purposes
specified.
(2.) In a stylographic or other pen, the combination with a calendar partly
printed on the body of the pen, of a tube or sheath having the remaining portion
of the calendar upon it adapted to be turned into the required position and a second
tube or sheath slotted so as to expose one of the months marked on the pen,
substantially as described and shown and for the purposes specified.

Improved Sheet Metal Roofing for Buildings.
I, THADEUS VON KARLOWSKI, of Inowrazlaw, West Prussia, 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 sheet metal roofing as constructed under this invention consists of a number
of varnished iron sheets which are securel to the purlines and made to interlock
with one another in a special manner.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 is a cross section of one of the roofing plates and
Fig. 2 is a part section of a roof.
The roofing, which resembles ordinary roofing tiles, is made of iron sheets of
about 1 millimetre in thickness covered or coated with au iron varnish to prevent
rust. Secured to each sheet are hooks a, b, which serve to attach them to the
purlines c. If desired the upper hook a of each sheet may be made in one piece
therewith. The hook b is secured to each sheet at a distance of about
10 centimetres from the lower edge. These hooks bare of such shape, as shown
at Fig. 2, that they can be easily pushed over the hooks a of the underlying sheet
and one purline c is therefore sufficient to hold both sheets in place.
'
The hooks a, b, are preferably secured to the purlines c by means of two uails f
in order to prevent the possibility of the wind lifting off the sheets.
In order to connect the adjoining sheets together they are made with bent over
edges d, e, which, when connected together, overlap sufficiently to prevent snow or
rain penetrating between the joints. One edge d is bent downwards whilst the
other edge e is bent upwards. It is not necessary to cement the interlocking joints
formed by the edges d, e.
For flat roofs the plates may be flat and for inclined roofs they may be dished
as shown at Fig. 1.
The improved sheet metal roofing is both fire proof and water tight and can be
erected in a very short time. It is also very light and durable and requires very
little wood work for its erection.
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 consider novel and desire to claim is :-
1. Sheet metal roofing consisting of varnished iron sheets provided with hooks a, b,
aud bent over edges d, e, substantially as and for the advantages hereinbefore set
forth.
2. Sheet metal roofing, such as claimed in Claim 1, having the upper hooks a
adapted to fit on the purline and the lower hooks b to fit on top of the hooks a, so
that two adjoining sheets can be secured to one purline, substantially as hereinbefore
described and shown on the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Casement and Door Fasteners.
We, FERDINAND ZAUN, Locksmith, and JOSEPH WIRTZ, Mill-owner, both of
Bornheim of Rhine, in the German Empire, 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 new or improved casement and door fastener which
is illustrated in sectional front and side elevations respectively, by the two figures
of the accompanying drawings to which reference is hereinafter made.
A through bolt B is arranged to slide vertically in the guides b b and to project
above and below the casement or door. At the upper end there is formed in the
bolt an eye or opening O, capable of engaging the catch N fixed to the lintel.
At the bottom, the bolt similarly engages, when the door or casement is closed,
with the eye or staple P fixed to the sill. The front part of the catch N and the
back part of the bottom of the bolt B, are bevelled, so that when the door or
casement is being closed, the bolt will ride up the bevels, and finally drop down in
engagement both at top and bottom. At a convenient height there is arranged at
right angles to the through-bolt B a handle rod F which passes through a slot s in
the bolt and into a recess in the door or casement behind. On this spindle there
is pivoted the L-shaped lever C, Figure 2, by the pin c2. The lower horizontal
member of this lever is constructed to lift the through bolt, by means of its forked
ends engaging in lateral recesses in the bolt, by means of a pin c in the end of the
On the end of
lever passing through a slot G in the bolt, or by similar means.
the rod F there is fixed a handle A.
When the handle A is pulled the lever C rocks on the inside of its casing a and
thereby lifts the bolt B clear of its engagement with N and P. The pull upon the
handle being continued, the door or casement then opens. When the handle is
released, the bolt falls by gravity restoring the position of the handle, but to ensure
the fall of the bolt, a spring D may be added. This spring rests at its lower end
upon a projection E from the bolt and at its upper end upon the casing.
When the door or casement is closed, the bolt is lifted when it comes into contact
with N and P, and then drops into engagement with them, without the handle
being necessarily touched.
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 :-
A fastening for doors and casements, constructed substantially as hereinbefore
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

dissolving ordinary glue in water with the addition of salicylate of soda or of
benzoic acid salicylic acid or their respective alkaline salts, the latter meaning in
each case both potassic salts and salts of sodium.
In carrying my invention into practice I place in any suitable vessel 100 parts
in weight of the very best glue made from leather parings and I allow the same to
be softened in 150 parts of water after which I add 10 parts in weight of salicylate
of soda the mixture being heated in a water bath until the solid part is thoroughly
dissolved.
To preserve the glue thus prepared, which remains liquid, I add to each kilo of
glue one grainme of oil of cloves.
This solution diluted with water forms' a cheap substitute for gum and can be
used for all household purposes.
The advantages of this glue are that it does not require to be heated for use and
is entirely free from the objectionable smell of ordinary glue.
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:-
:-
The process for the preparation of liquid glue for joiners upholsterers and the
like consisting in placing in a suitable vessel 100 parts in weight of the best glue
made from leather parings which is allowed to become softened in 150 parts in
weight of water after which I add 10 parts in weight of salicylate of soda benzoic
acid salicylic acid or their respective alkaline salts the mixture being subse-
quently heated in a water bath until the solid parts are entirely dissolved, when for
the purpose of preserving the liquid glue thus prepared I add one gramme of oil
of cloves to one kilo of the same.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (AMENDED).
Improvements in connection with Bearings for the Axles of Cycle
and other Wheels.
I, BERTRAND NUTT 9 Newland Place The Crescent Eastleigh in the County of
Hants Tinsmith 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 bearings for the axles of cycle and other wheels and the
object is to allow the wheels to ride easily over obstacles and to prevent concussion
& shock.
In carrying the invention into effect I proceed in or in about the following
manner, making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1
is a side view, and Fig. 2 an end view. Similar numerals in each figure
representing similar parts.
1 is a slotted plate attached to the vehicle in any suitable manner (by a bolt for
instance). Sliding in the slot is the block 2 having flanges overlapping the sides
of the slot. In the block 2 runs the end of the axle 3 which is retained in position
by the end nut 4. At the top of the slot 1 and at the top of the block 2 I provide
cups 5. Between the upper of these cups 5 and the middle one I provide a spiral
spring 6 and between the bottom of the block 2 and another (bottom) cup 5 is a
block or cushion of india-rubber, or other suitable material 7. To protect the
arrangement from dust it may be enclosed in a casing having therein slots to give
sufficient upward and downward play.to the axle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I am aware that it
has been previously proposed to use in velocipedes spring bearings in which each end
of the wheel axle is carried by a block capable of sliding in a forked guide attached to
the frame of the velocipede and bearing on a spiral spring and I make no general
claim to such bearings, but declare that what I claim is-;
In bearings for the axles of cycle and other wheels a block carrying the end of
the axle and sliding in a slotted plate, the said block having below it a cushion of
rubber or the like, resting in or attached to a suitable cup, another cup being
provided immediately above the block, between which cup and another at the top
of the slot is a spiral spring the lower end resting in or being attached to the middle
cup, and the upper end resting in or being attached to the top cup, the whole
substantially as described in the above specification, and exemplified in the
accompanying drawings.

An Improved Puzzle.
I, WILLIAM HOLLINS, Porter, Constitutional Club, Harlesden, London, N.W., 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 those puzzles in which a ring has to be removed without
damage to the parts which keep it in place. In order to more clearly explain my
invention, I make reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1
is an isometrical view of the puzzle before the ring is removed, and Fig. 2 a view of
it when prepared ready for the removal of the ring.
abcd is a piece of wood or other suitable material baving in its four corners
holes e f g h, through which are threaded the cords, chains or equivalents i j k l,
having beads discs or the like m at one of their ends to prevent them passing
through e f g h. There are four other holes n o p q in the centre of a b c d. A piece
of cord, chain or the like is doubled in the middle of its length and the two free ends
passed downwards through n, o, and then upwards through p and q. A ring r is then
put over the loops and the free ends of the doubled piece of cord or the like, put
throughs and continued upwards as at t u, until they reach the ends of ij klat v
where all the ends are connected together and may be furnished with a metal or other
cap, or knob. The puzzle will now appear as in Fig. 1. The puzzle is to get off the
ring without damaging the cords, chains or equivalent. This is effected by first of
all putting the loop s downward through the hole e then putting the disc or bead of i
through taking care not to get the loop twisted. The loop s is then withdrawn
upwards from s and inserted into / and the disc or bead on 1 put through it as before
described; the loop is then drawn out of h and inserted in succession through the
holes and the bead or disc at the ends of k and j being on each occasion put.
through it. The final result will be as shown in Fig. 2, the loop s embracing all the
cords or like i j k l tn. All that has now to be done to release the ring is to put the
joined ends v through the loop s. Instead of putting the loop s through the holes in
the order e hgf, it may be put through them in the order f g h e.
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 :-
An improved puzzle provided for and operated substantially as described in the:
above specification and exemplified in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in or relating to Gas Burners.
I, WILLIAM BONNER WILLIAMS of 18 Rothay Street, Leigh, Lancashire,
Gas Burner Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to
be as follows:-
My invention refers to gas burners, and has for its object to increase the
illuminating power thereof, and consists, first in forming the "steatite," earthen-
ware, or similar (or corresponding) portion of the burner of semi-spherical forn,
and providing it with a number of fine holes, arranged in a line from side to side
of the burner, and radiating outwards from the burner interior; and, secondly in
making the inlet end of the burner closed, and of forming one, two or more fine
holes in such closed end.
In using this improved burner, and with the usual sieve or grid removed, the
burner forms a chamber equivalent to that formed by the burner attachment
covered by Letters Patent No. 7831 year 1893, and thus I obtain the illuminating
effect of the said attachment in the burner itself.
The closing of the inlet end of the burner may be effected in various ways, by
moulding or brazing, or by screwing or fitting a small perforated disc into the
open eud. An alternative arrangement consists in placing a small perforated disc
beneath the burner in screwing it into the gas bracket.

Improvements in the Construction and Method of Application of
Friction Clutches to the Axles of Cycles and the like.
I, JOHN WALKER of 9, Tempest Road, Beeston Hill. Leeds, in the County
of York, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object the arrangement of certain mechanism, and the
combination of the same with the wheels of cycles and the like, in such a way as
to reduce the friction and ensure the more perfect working of my machine
described in my Patent Specification No. 5392 of 1894.
I accomplish my object in the following manner. To obviate the necessity of a
pawl as described in the above specification, I substitute a friction clutch as
hereinafter described.
To a toothed pinion is connected or cast along with it, a flanged disc or casing,
inside which are placed a number of balls gearing with a clutch. The toothed
pinion is free to revolve on the axle of the machine, but keyed to the axle is a
disc, the outer circumference of which is divided and formed into a number of
inclined planes, on which the balls rest. In the event of the machine being
propelled, the balls are brought by the inclined planes into contact with the
flange on the toothed pinion and compressed between the two surfaces, thus the
rotary movement of pinion is imparted to the clutch or disc and the axle of
the machine.
The clutch is entirely boxed within suitable casing, thus protecting the gearing
from dust &c.
