Percussive Rock-boring Drill.
I, PERCY KNOWLES, Engineer of 3 Stonedale Villas, Upper Richmond Road
Mortlake, in the County of Surrey 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 :-
1. The above mentioned drill consists of two cutters . and b. (Figures 1 and 2)
attached by a single cottar. to the heads of the arms or rams of any reciprocating
rock-boring machine.
2. The head is of a larger diameter than the remainder of the ram, and is turned
and shaped in such a manner as to afford a suitable stock d. (Figure 1.) on and in
which the two cutters are firmly cottared. This head is either fixed to the ram by
socket cottared or otherwise, or may be made in one piece with same.
3. The drill-stock is also provided with a channel e. through which the rock,
having been sufficiently broken up by the two cutters a. and 1. (Figures 1, and 2.) is
driven out by water under pressure, introduced through the two copper or brass
pipes (Figure 2).
4. The cutters are of two forms a. (Figures 1 and 2.) is a double, bevelled,
crossed chisel, and b. bevelled circular chisel attached in the aforementioned
manner, to the drill stock d.
Action of drill The interior chisel a. projecting in advance of . first acis upon
the rock, and breaking up the central portion of the future hole, leaves the outer
chisel to enlarge it to the required diameter. All the débris is thrown inwards
in a finely devided state, and the channel e. affords an exit, through which it is
ejected with great force and continuity under pressure of the water from the
pipes (Figure 2.) which water not only washes out the débris but also keeps the
chisels cool.
This cooling is necessary for the rapid and continuous strokes would tend to
generate heat in no slight degree, and the temper of the chisels would in consequence
be spoiled.
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. The double bevelled crossed chisel w.
2. The bevelled, circular chisel b.
3. And the construction of the drill-stock d. with its two water pipes ff.
substantially as described.

An Improved Garden Label.
We, JAMES PELLOW, of 18 Oxford Street, and EDWIN JEFFERY, of 21 Lord
Street, both of Millom, Cumberland Iron Miners 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 :-
.
Our invention relates to an improved garden label and has for its, object to
provide indestructible means whereby gardeners may be able to remember the
different kinds of seeds or plants sown or planted in Hower beds, flower pots and
the like. In the garden labels hitherto used the names of the plants were generally
written in ink on a strip of paper or cardboard, which was attached to a stick of
wood and inserted in the soil. In consequence of this arrangement whenever
moisture from rain, snow or dew gain access to the writing, the name of the plant.
was washed out or rendered illegible.
In carrying our invention into practice we provide a label made of any suitable
metal, and of any convenient shape and we form on one side of this label a sufficient.
number of raised or embossed letters to indicate the name of the seeds or plants
placed in the soil.
The lower end of this label tapers gradually to a point for insertion in the soil.
In the accompanying drawings in which like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts,
Figures 1, 2 and 3 show three labels of different shape and
Figure 4 being an edge view of Figure 3.
The labels consist of tapered strips of metal a terminating at the top with an
inclined part d (Figure 1) or with a cross bar d' which gives the label as shown in
Figure 2 the form of a T. In Figure 3 the upright is used alone. Each label a
is provided on one side with a raised part 6 on which the letters c are embossed as
clearly shown in Figure 4.
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 improved indestructible garden label provided with raised parts and

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for use in Performances of Physical Strength and
Endurance.
I, GEORGE MULHALL (otherwise known as George Testo) of 11, Ashley Street,
Liverpool, Athlete and Gymnast, 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 means to be employed in certain feats of physical
strength and endurance, notably that of resisting by the teeth the draught power of
a horse, and it consists essentially in the combination, with the performer's mouth-
piece and with the holding-back appliance, of springs adapted to ease off the sudden
jerk at starting and by converting it into a steady strain enable the performer to
resist the pull without suffering personal injury.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings,
forming part of this Specification, wherein
Figure 1 is a general view of the apparatus as in use, and
Figure 2 is a detail view of the spring portion of the apparatus.
The mouthpiece is of the ordinary kind used in such exhibitions, made of canvas
padded with horsehair and attached to a swivel connected by a rope to one end of
an extension spiral or rubber spring e adapted to withstand a pull of between eight
and ten hundredweight and whose other end is connected to the whiffletree of the
traces. d is the performer's holding-back rope which terminates in a loop adapted
to encircle the wrist and is attached to the one pull rod of a compression spring e
whose other pull rod is attached to a fixed point. This spring is necessarily
stronger than the spring c and should be capable of withstanding a pull up to one
ton before yielding to its full extent. It is therefore preferred to employ in this
position a spiral spring which acts by compression and has a range of motion of
about one foot. Such a spring is shewn in Figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
declare that what
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed,
I claim is-
1. In an apparatus of the kind described, the interposition between the draught
attachment and the mouthpiece of a spring adapted to ease off the jerk and convert
it into a steady pull, as described.
2. In an apparatus of the kind described, the combined employment of a spring
between the draught attachment and the mouthpiece and of another spring between
the holding-back appliance and its point of attachment, substantially as and for
the purpose specified.

An Improvement in Pockets for Billiard Tables.
I, FREDERICK ROBERT WRIGHT of No. 162 Westminster Bridge Roal in
the County of Surrey, Billiard Table 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 a simple construction of the pocket of a billiard table
whereby the removal of a ball from the pocket is facilitated. For this purpose I
construct the pocket as shewn in elevation and section by Figs. 1 and 2 of the
accompanying drawings. I make the bottom of the pocket a cup C which is
pivotted to the sides at PP so that it can be canted to the position indicated by
the dotted lines Fig. 2 by applying the hand to its outer edge B, the balt
thereupon rolling out into the hand. In order to prevent the cup from canting
when a ball enters it, it is so loaded at the bottom L that it requires a certain
pressure of the hand in order to cant it. On letting go, the load cants the pocket
back as far as permitted by a stop pin S.
According to a modified arrangement, the cup, instead of being pivotted so that
it can be canted, may have arms such as P at each side fitted to slide in guides
so that the pocket can be drawn outwards for the removal of the ball, and on
being let go is retracted by a spring.
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 pocket for a billiard table having its bottom made as a cup which can be
canted or slid outwards to remove a ball therefrom, substantially as described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Cane and Wicker Baskets
and Boxes.
We, FRIEDRICH HEINRICH, and Heinrich RichTER, both of 26 Alexander
Strasse Berlin, Germany, Wicker-basket 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 :—
Our invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wicker baskets and
boxes. The invention has for its object to so make wicker sample or travelling
baskets or boxes that they will be much lighter and stronger and more durable
than heretofore.
And in order that our said invention may be properly understood, we have
hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon:-
Fig. 1 shows a piece of wicker work.
Fig. 2 shows a piece of wicker work, having a linen covering around its edges.
Fig. 3 is a view of a sample or travelling basket.
Referring to the drawings:-
The sides a, b, c, d, and the bottom of the basket are made in one piece, and
coated over with very strong glue. The basket is then lined or covered both
inside and outside with linen, which, when the glue congeals, adheres firmly to
the wicker work. The glue causes the web to lose its elasticity, whilst the linen
greatly strengthens the basket.
The best material for the outside covering is sail-cloth which can be rendered
impervious to damp by a coat of oil paint.
As shown at Fig. 1, the edges of the wicker work are rounded, so that the
strength of the osiers or twigs is not weakened by breakage at the curves. When
the corners are rounded, as shown, there are no sharp projections to cut or tear the
linen cover.
The lid is made in a similar manner.
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. In the manufacture of cane or wicker-work baskets or boxes, making the sides
and bottom in one piece, then coating the basket or box with strong glue, and
covering it, both inside and outside, with waterproof linen, substantially as and for
the purposes herein before set forth.
2. In a basket or box of the construction hereinbefore described, making the
edges of the wicker-work rounded so that there will be no sharp or broken edges
to weaken the wicker work or to cut the linen cover.

A New or Improved Compound applicable to Pneumatic Tyres for
Preventing them from being Deflated when Punctured.
I, HENRI BERNARD TRUEL of Dreux Department (Eure et Loire) France, 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 a new or improved compound or paste which is applicable
to the pneumatic tyres of velocipedes or other vehicles and has for its object to
fill and stop the punctures which may take place in the tyre before the air from the
air chamber can escape through these punctures.
In carrying my invention into practice I form a paste with the following
ingredients preferably mixed in the proportions hereunder set forth :
Caoutchouc or india-rubber
Vaseline oil
5 parts.
8 parts.
These two ingredients are well rubbed together until the compound formed
acquires a pasty consistence, when it is smeared over the inner periphery of the
pneumatic tyre so as to form a layer of suitable thickness.
When the tyre is punctured the pressure of the air in the air chamber will cause
the paste to enter the opening thus formed and hermetically close the same before
any air can have escaped from the said chamber. The paste prepared in the
manner above indicated is highly plastic and is not affected by atmospherical or
meteorological influences.
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

Improvements relating to Cycle Handle Bars.
I, ALBERT BAVERSTOCK of 54 Shelley Road Boscombe Bournemouth Hampshire
General Foreman of Buildings do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of handle bars especially for
use in bicycles, and has for its object to provide an arrangement which will take up
less room in stabling and can be passed through smaller openings, and is less liable
to get in the way when the bicycle is left standing.
In carrying out my invention I form the steering spindle in two parts, the upper
part, a few inches long, to which the handle bar is attached, being separate from
the lower, and hinged to it. A flange is formed at the top of the lower part and
another of the same size at the lower end of the upper part, by means of which
they are hinged together, a spring or other suitable catch being furnished which
will lock the two flanges together.
With this arrangement, the handle when desired can be unlocked and tilted to an
almost vertical position, thus greatly reducing the width of the bicycle and rendering
it less likely to get knocked over, so that it may be left with safety in a crowded
street.
The handle is fixed firmly in place by simply pressing it down if a spring catch
is used, or by turning the catch if another kind be employed.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings which show the handle in two positions, Fig. 1
as it is when in use and Fig. 2. in its tilted position.
A is the handle bar, to which is fixed the downwardly projecting tube B, forming
part of the steering spindle when fastened in position. The steering spindle C is
furnished with the flange c to which the flange b on the tube B is attached by the
hinge D. A catch E serves to hold the two flanges firmly together when the handle
bar is placed in position. The brake handle and rod have sufficient play to allow
the bar to take up the position shown in Fig. 2 without straining them.
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 handle bar, furnished with a downwardly projecting tube, hinged to the
upper end of the steering spindle and fixed in position by a strong catch, thus
allowing the handle bar to be tilted to a suitable angle, substantially as described.
(2.) The improved construction of handle bar and steering spindle, substantially
as described and shown in the accompanying drawings and for the purposes
specified.

This drawing-pin is chiefly distinguishable by the fact that it is turned out of one
piece of metal, whence result the following advantages:
(1) An exceedingly strong drawing-pin is obtained; and (2) its head is provided
with a serrated under surface whereby it is enabled to hold the articles fixed
thereby, and prevent them from turning or shifting. The milling on the head is
effected at the same time as the pin is turned in the lathe; or it may be produced
afterwards by stamping.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion 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 :-
1. A drawing-pin turned out of one piece of metal substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawinga.

page_text: 2. A drawing-pin grooved or serrated on the under surface of the head to
prevent the shifting of the paper or other sheet fixed by the drawing-pin
substantially as described.

A New or Improved Holder for Surgical Instruments.
Year: 1892

page_text: Date of Application, 3rd Feb., 1892-Accepted, 5th Mer., 1892
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Holder for Surgical Instruments.
I, JONAS HECHT of 28 Marienstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Engineer and Optician,
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 a holder which can be easily applied
to any surgical instrument requiring a handle. The invention will consequently be
found of great advantage to surgeons.
The new holder is illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings:
Fig. 1 shows the handle closed.
Fig. 2 the same opened.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the handle.
In the hollow case a, which has on each end screwed caps c and d and which is
also fluted for convenience in holding, slides, an inner tube b which serves as the
holder for such instruments as throat-mirrors, probes, brush-bearers etc. This inner
tube bis split at the upper end, where it goes through the upper cap d. The split
ends are made spoon shape, as shown, and are capable of springing outwards.
When the lower end of the tube b, which protrudes through the cap c, is pressed it
will compress the spring (in case a), and the upper split end of the tube b will be
forced out of the case a so that the spoons b¹ will open out as shown at Fig. 2.
An instrument can now be inserted between the spoons &, and, as soon as the
pressure is taken off the lower end of tube b the spring f will expand, consequently
drawing the spoons & into the cap d and so closing them tightly down on the end of
the instrument. The instrument can now be used with the case a as a handle.
This handle has the advantage that it can be made entirely of metal and not be
any heavier than handles hitherto used.
The holder can be made to receive the whole handle or only a part of the surgical
instrument.
It has not the disadvantage of troublesome screwing and it gives a much firmer
hold than other handles.
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 handle for surgical instruments consisting of a sliding tube 6 moved by a
spring fin a case a, the tube 6 holding the instrument by means of spring-acting
spoon-claws 6', substantially as hereinbefore described and shown on the drawings
annexed.

An Improved Stair Pad.
Year: 1892

page_text: Date of Application, 12th Mar., 1892-Accepted, 16th Apr., 1892
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Stair Pad.
I WILLIAM HENRY AGAR of the firm of Rigby Agar & Co. of Marsden
Square, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster 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 the manufacture of what are known as "stair-pads" and
employed for placing upon the "treads" of stairs underneath the stair carpet for
the purpose of giving a soft agreeable feeling to the carpet, and also to increase
the durability thereof and prevent it from wearing out at the edges or noses
of the treads.
"
According to my invention I form the stair pads of woollen felt, or thick woven
woollen fabric or any mixture or combination of the two and I shape the same
either with parallel edges front and back or with converging edges so as to fit
the turning or winding of the stairs as required and I cut the same of such a
width that the front edge can be turned completely round the " nose of the tread
or stair.
"
I then stiffen the front edge thereof for a width of (say) about three or four
inches by applying to the back of the felt or woven fabric flour paste or other
suitable stiffening material or composition leaving the front soft and unstiffened
and I curl or bend over the edge thus stiffened to fit over the "nose
edge of the "tread" of the stair, and I allow the same to dry and stiffen in this
position.
"2
65
or rounded
"
The pads being thus made with a firm permanently stiffened nose, shaped to fit
the edge of the stair can be put down, taken up, and put down again as often as
nose fits-
may be required without the slightest difficulty, and as the curl or
accurately to the front of the "tread" of the stair it dispenses entirely with the
troublesome and injurious necessity for the use of tacks or other similar appliances
to keep the same in position.
The material employed, namely woollen felt, or woven woollen fabric being thick
and pliable and stiffened only at the back not only gives a nice soft agreeable feel
to the tread, but also greatly improves the appearance; and besides giving a
yielding tread prolongs the wear of the stair carpet placed over it.
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 improved "stair pad" consisting of a suitably formed piece of woollen felt,
or thick woollen woven fabric, or a combination of the same, having its front edge
stiffened at the back, and permanently curled or bent round in a semicircular form
to fit the front edge or "nose" of the tread of the stair, substantially in the manner
and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth and described.

Improved Covering for Ribs and Stretchers of Umbrellas and
Parasols.
I CHARLES CASSERA of 27 Wigmore Street London, W. Buyer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Ribs as now covered are done by wrapping them with a narrow ribbon and sewing
the edges by hand work.
According to this invention I weave upon the rib direct the desired covering as
follows. I use a tubular braid weaving machine and suspend the rib in it by a cord,
passed over a pulley and having a weight to counterbalance the rib. I first start
the weaving at the end of the stretcher down to the rib. I then start the weaving
at the notch end of the rib and weave down to the end, I then secure each end of
the weaving by dipping it in glue or cement or by wrapping round with a thread of
the woven material or by both thread and glue. By this arrangement 1 cover the
ribs in a much better way than they are now done.
Dated this 10th day of December 1892.
