I, HEINRICH ERHARD JUNGHANS, of Schramberg, Wurtemburg, in the Empire
of Germany, Watchmaker, 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 solutions of Tar colours in water, alcohol, or spirits of wine heretofore used
for staining or colouring wood have the great disadvantage that the grain or fibres
of the wood under treatment are raised, that is to say the stained or coloured
surface becomes rough and requires to be smoothed again with glass paper. This
second smoothing has the disadvantage of destroying more or less the regularity of
the previously applied colour (especially from the sharp edges of shaped wood)
and to produce irregularity of tint so that additional coats of colour and repeated
applications of the glass paper become necessary until finally the wood intended
for waxing, polishing and other purposes presents a uniformly coloured surface
of the required intensity and which is absolutely smooth.
The above objection is obviated by the improvements forming the subject of the
present invention which improvements consist in the employment as a solvent of
the selected tar-colour, of benzole, oil of turpentine, and analogous solvents, to
which for the purposes of economy the liquid Anthracene oil derived from the
destructive distillation of coal, and known in commerce under the name of
Carbolineum, may be added.
The oil stain thus produced unlike the ordinary water and spirit stain does not
raise the grain or fibres of the wood in the least so that the usual subsequent
process of smoothing is entirely obviated, and, according to the. fineness or, coarse-
ness of the structure of the wood, any required shade of colour may be obtained
with one or two applications of the oil stain.
In this manner either walnut wood stain, light or dark oak stain, rose-wood
stain, or ebony stain may be produced.
Those aniline colours which can be dissolved in benzole or oil of turpentine can
be employed.
The production of the oil stains from the materials named, and their employ-
ment take place in the well known manner. For example walnut-wood stain can
be produced by dissolving 600 grammes of brown G and 150 grammes of orange G
in 10 litres of benzole, filtering the solution, and adding a filtered solution of
100 grammes of black in 3 litres of oil of turpentine.
The oil stain thus obtained can be thinned according to requirements with
benzine.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-

page_text: tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The new or improved wood-stain which consists of tar colour dissolved in benzole,
oil of turpentine or analogous media, with or without the addition of carbolineum
substantially as described.

Improvements in Ironing Collars, Cuffs, and like Articles.
I PETER STUBBS of 2 Garmoyle Road, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Laundryman, 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 provide means or arrangements whereby any
ordinary sheet or table cloth ironing machine may be utilized for that stage in the
ironing of collars cuffs and the like known as steaming blocking up or firsting.
Heretofore it has been impossible to use ordinary sheet or tablecloth ironing
machine satisfactorily for this purpose in consequence of the difficulty of keeping
the rollers or irons sufficiently clean for ironing collars &c.
Now under my invention I obviate this difficulty by placing the collars cuffs
and the like between sheets of textile or other suitable material and passing the
whole together through the machine. The sheets prevent the collars &c. from
being soiled by the rollers or irons whilst allowing of the transmission of sufficient
heat and pressure to effect the desired ironing.
The accompanying drawing is a sectional perspective view illustrative of the
method of carrying my invention into practice. a, b are part of the rollers and
irons respectively of an ordinary ironing machine for ironing sheets, tablecloths &c.
care two sheets of textile material between which are placed the collars, cuffs, &c. d,
to be ironed, e is a board for supporting the sheets c and the collars &c. therein,
before passing through the machine. The board e is preferably made movable and
held in position by brackets for equivalent devices so that when the sheets c have
been drawn off the board into the machine such board can be removed, and
another board carrying another set of sheets be placed in position. The board e
may be of any desired width so as to utilize either the whole or a portion of the
width of the machine.
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 :-
First. The process of ironing collars, cuffs, and like articles, in an ordinary
sheet ironing machine, by placing such collars cuffs and like articles between sheets
of textile or suitable material whilst passing through the machine substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.
Second. The combination and operation with an ordinary sheet ironing machine
of sheets of textile or other suitable material, and a movable carrying or supporting
board substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

An Improved Tool for Holding and Guiding Nails during the
Insertion of the same into any Material.
I, CARL HUSTEDT, Junior, of Diepholz, in the Province of Hanover, and German
Empire, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to a device for use when driving nails, so as to guide the
latter perpendicularly to the object into which they are driven.
In order that this invention may be the better understood I now proceed to
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a plan.
Figure
2 is a side elevation.
Figure 3 is a side view, partly in section, and
Figure 4 is a modified form, of construction of the device.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2 this device consists of two gripping cheeks A B
hinged together at C which are kept apart by a flat spring F or similar arrange-
ment and are adapted to be pressed together by the hand when used. The inner
faces of the gripping cheeks A B have guiding grooves f of a size or sizes corre-
sponding to the thickness or thicknesses of the nails to be driven.
The device is reduced in thickness towards the hinged part C so that the thin
portion may be used for very short nails. The face of the device has lines
passing across the guiding grooves, which serve for the accurate determination
of the position where the nail has to be driven into the object.
Figure 4 shows a modification, in which the gripping cheeks are not hinged at
their ends, but a distance therefrom (say one third of the length away) in the
manner of tongs. The arrangement of the guiding grooves is the same as before-
mentioned. This modified device is particularly advantageous for use when driven
nails in places where there is little room for holding the nail, or for instance,
when nails are driven very close together. In this case the nail can be placed
exactly at the point where it is required to be driven, for which purpose the device
is formed very narrow at the short end.
As previously mentioned this device is particularly designed to guide nails
perpendicularly to the object into which they are driven. The device has also
great advantages in the manufacture and nailing of large or small boxes, because
it presents the nails being driven obliquely, so as to protrude from the sides or
parts of the boxes.
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:
A device consisting of two hinged gripper cheeks A B, having at their inner
faces cuiding ones f which when the grinner cheeks A B are pressed together

page_text: and hold the nail serve to guide the nails perpendicularly to the object into which
they are driven substantially as described.

An Improvement in or Addition to Fishing Rods.
I, FRANK MARKHAM SANDERS of 117 Alexandra Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham
in the County of Warwick 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 the improvements in or addition to fishing rods and
consists principally in those rods used for salmon fishing, and has for its object to
provide a simple means whereby the pressure of the butt end of the rod against
the body of the angler is obviated. My invention consists essentially of a rubber
pouch capable of being inflated the said pouch being attached to the butt end of
the fishing rod. In order that my invention may be more clearly understood,
I will describe it by reference to the accompanying drawings the same letters of
reference indicating similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 represents the end of a fishing rod with the butt end attached.
Figure 2 represents in elevation and Figure 3 in cross section my improved
device for attaching to the butt end of the fishing rod.
Figure 4 illustrates the same device inflated and ready for use.
B is the butt end of a fishing rod C is the rubber pouch provided with neck D
and pocket E and the air tube F which may be provided with a valve or suitable
device for retaining the air. In applying my improved device to a fishing rod the
neck D is stretched for the butt end B which takes to the inside of the pocket E as
shown in Figure 4. When in this position the pouch C is inflated as shown in
Figure 4 into a spherical form, thus forming a kind of inflated cushion which when
pressed against the body will obviously relieve the pressure aforesaid, because of
the pain caused by the butt end of the rod when that is used I may enclose the
pouch in a leather or other suitable case to protect the same from puncture or
other injury. I do not confine myself to a particular shape of pouch, but may use
any other suitable shape as circumstances may require without departing from the
nature thereof.
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 improvement in or addition to fishing rods substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. A device for attaching to the butt ends of fishing rods consisting of a rubber
pouch or its equivalent capable of being inflated substantially as described and for
the purpose set forth.

ment are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views, and in
said drawing, we have shown at 5, a section of an armor plate which is provided on
its outer surface thereof with longitudinal ribs or corrugations 6.
The ribs or corrugations may be of any desired size and thickness in cross section,
and may run longitudinally of the plate or tranversely thereof, and these ribs or
corrugations may be triangular or circular in cross section, and said ribs or corruga-
tions serve to break the force of a projectile and also to deflect the same, and thus
diminish the penetrating power thereof.
In Fig. 3, we have shown a front view or a part of a armor plate in which the
grooves or corrugations 6, are wave shaped or irregular in form, and it will be
apparent that any desired form may be given to these grooves or corrugations.
An armor plate constructed according to our invention need not be as thick as
when the outer surface thereof, is perfectly smooth, and our improvement is simple in
construction and operation, and is perfectly adapted to accomplish the result for
which it is intended, and does not add materially to the cost of manufacturing the
plate.

I, PALOORU SANKARANARAYANA, M.A. of 69 Swami Pillai Street, Choolay,
Madras, in India, Retired Educational Officer, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for "Improvement in writing pens" to be as follows:-
:-
The pen consists of a holder, the end of which that receives the nib is bent at
an angle, so that, when a short nib is put in, writing can be done with the pen,
reclining or lying in an easy chair or a sofa etc., without the ink flowing down and
away from the surface written on, on account of gravity, as in the ordinary
straight pen. The bend may be introduced in any kind of pen or pen-holder, a
stylographic or fountain or other pen. The distance of the bend from the tip of
the nib may vary, and the bend also may be made either in the metallic holder
tube or in the nib itself.

the holder and the nib are separate the bend may be introduced in the holder or
in the nib itself; in the former case the nib must be a suitable short one. When
the holder and the nib are combined in one the bending will be near the writing
end. The bend may be introduced in any kind of pen, pen-holder, stylographic or
fountain or other pen. The distance of the bend from the tip of the nib may be
varied as may be suitable or convenient.
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 bend of the pen near the writing end, for making possible or facilitating
the flow of ink and the writing in a reclining posture.

page_text: I, ADOLF KOBURGER, of Friedrichstrasse, No. 4, Bamberg, in the Kingdom of
Bavaria, 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:-
The object of the present invention is a contrivance for preventing doors from
being opened by strangers having no right to enter, which contrivance can be
applied without any alteration in the door, the casing or the lock.
The fastening consists of a wedge, which is indented at its basis and can be
pushed under the edge of the door from inside the room, hall or other place till
the door rests on the back of the wedge. Now, if the door is opened by force, the
cogs of the wedge will bite the floor and prevent the wedge from being pushed
aside. As the door is kept back by the groove of the casing, it is prevented from
mounting the wedge and being lifted out of its hinges. It must therefore remain
closed. The more force is employed for opening, the tighter will the cogs of the
wedge take the wooden floor, and the less will it be removed.
The accompanying sketch represents several forms of wedges for the purpose
described.
Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of a wedge a between the floor b and the door c.
Fig. 2 is the side view of a wedge made of strong tin, whose two cheeks,
connected behind by the arch d, with heel h form one piece and whose front points
are connected by a small traverse, e.
Fig. 3 is the horizontal plan for Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is the cross section of a cast wedge.
Fig. 5 shows how a wedge may be folded up. A strong band a¹ forms the
wedge indented at its basis, and carrying behind a loop with a movable double
foot g.
The latter secures the position of the wedge, when it is turned so that it
stands vertically to it.
Fig. 6 shows the construction of Fig. 5 seen from below.
This fastening has the advantage that it never fails, that it can be applied by
everybody and is independent of the lock.
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 fastening for preventing doors from being opened, distinguished by a wedge a
made of bent piece of tin, or forged, or cast with an indented basis and a fixed or

page_text: movable heel h or g which is to be inserted between the floor b and the door and
takes the ground, when the door is pushed and so prevents it from being opened.
