COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Arrangement for Colouring and Reflecting the Light from
Candles.
I LOUIS SILBERSTEIN of Leipziger Strasse 57, Berlin in the German Empire
Director 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 an arrangement by means of which a
strongly coloured and reflected light is obtained from ordinary candles.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 shews a candle furnished with holder, consisting of socket, cylinder-
frame, reflector and coloured cylinder.
Fig. 2 is a section, and
Fig. 3 a plau view of the same.
Fig. 4 shews the cylinder-frame and reflector.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 6 is the socket;
Fig. 7 a cylinder-holder which can be used as support for the shade.
Fig. 8 shews the candle fitted with the support for the shade.
The operation of the invention is as follows:-
After the candle has been lit, the coloured cylinder e imparts to the candle flame
a corresponding hue, whilst the reflector F of undulating prismatic or other
section arranged behind, enhances the effect of the flame and at the same time its
colour. The shade placed over it throws the reflection downwards, and mellows
the light. In consequence of the bent round rim e fitted to the socket a, the height
of the flame will always remain the same, since the socket a sinks downwards as the
candle melts.
The exact height of the cylinder e, as of the reflector F of undulating prismatic
or other section is immaterial, since instead of a whole cylinder, only a part, or
segment, may be employed. In this case, as is evident, the reflector F of undulating
prismatic or other section employed must also be of corresponding size.
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. An arrangement for application to candles, by means of which a coloured
light is obtained, consisting of an adjustable socket fitting to the candle, a coloured
cylinder, or part cylinder, and a cylinder-frame, all substantially as shewn and
described.
2. The arrangement for application to candles, as claimed in Claim 1, in com-
bination with a reflector of undulating, prismatic, or other section, substantially as
shewn and described.
3. The arrangements for application to candles, as claimed in Claims 1 and 2.
respectively, each in combination with a support for a candle-shade, substantially as
shewn and described.

Improvements in or connected with Fresco-painting.
I, OSCAR MATTHIESEN, of Villa "Cradock," Charlottenlund, near Copenhagen,
in the Kingdom of Denmark, Artist, 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 object to quickly harden and neutralize the surface of
plaster or cement to a greater or less depth in fresco-painting.
Experience has shown that ordinary plaster surfaces quickly destroy paint and
do not offer sufficient resistance against blows and the injurious effects of wind and
weather.
According to my invention I evenly distribute pure or almost pure carbonic
acid, under pressure, over the plaster surface, whereby the lime in the upper layer
of this surface is transformed to a less or greater depth into carbonate of lime. If
this operation is carried out immediately after the paint has been applied to the
wet surface of the plaster the colours will keep unaltered and be incorporated in the
neutralized carbonate of lime. It is necessary to apply sufficient carbonic acid to
transformn the lime into carbonate of lime sufficiently deep.
The surface may be treated over smaller or greater areas and the carbonic acid
applied until the saturation appears to be sufficient.
By this addition of carbonic acid under pressure or transformation into carbonate
of lime the surface is hardened and enabled to resist the weather, and the colours
that are intimately connected with the finely distributed carbonate of lime, will
keep in unimpaired brilliancy.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The process for rendering fresco-paintings durable, consisting in distributing
carbonic acid over the plaster surface while still wet and after the paints have
been applied thereto, substantially as described.

Improvements in Locks for Nests of Drawers.
ARTHUR ERNEST WALKER of No. 18 Chiswell Street London E.C., a Fancy
Goods Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
The improvement consists in a Lever lock A & a barrel key B so constituted that as
the lever C is turned, it carries with it an arm D which moves on a pivot E with a
lever F at the end. This is attached to a crank spindle G & when the key B is
turned, the crank G is drawn out, so as to prevent the drawer H from opening.
By the reverse action of the key, it is shut into the side of the Cabinet, thus forming
a locking up apparatus for the drawers, which is out of sight.

ARTHUR ERNEST WALKER.
ARTHUR ERNEST WALKER, a Fancy Goods Manufacturer, of No. 18 Chiswell Street,
London, E.C., 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 is a very simple contrivance, by means of which two or any number
of Drawers in a Cabinet, of one tier, can be locked simultaneously.
The Spring of the Lock works in the usual way upon a lever (Lever) C, but that
Lever is so constructed as per drawing submitted in the Provisional Specification of
July 18th, '96, that as the key turns it, it not only moves the Bolt, but instead of the
Bolt acting directly as in the usual Lock, in the locking of drawers, it carries an arm
(D) which is connected to an Iron Bar placed longitudinally down the side of the
Cabinet. This Bar also is bent at right angles like a crank. When the key (B) is
propelled & the arm (D) brings out the crank of the Bar, it brings out so many
claws or brass pieces (G) attached to the Bar at right angles, & in the place of the
throw of the crank & these claws pose themselves into nitches or slots made in the
side of the drawers for that purpose, thus securely locking all the Drawers.
In order to unlock the drawer, it is simply necessary to reverse the key B, when

page_text: the little arm F turns back into the slot, prepared for it, in the inside of cabinet, and
thus it releases the drawers.
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 Lock attached to which is a crank & a longitudinal Bar, the whole contrivance
working as herein before set forth.

I, EMIL SCHMIDT, of 84, Roon Strasse, Wilhelmshaven, in the Empire of
Germany, Druggist, 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 small sponges, fastened to holders, at present in use as ear-cleaners, have
the defect of easily becoming detached and thus both the sponge itself and its
holder become useless after a little service; moreover when the sponge is worn
out or dirty, the holder is no longer any use any more than the sponge and both.
are thrown away.
The sponge-holder which I have invented and to which this application relates,.
as represented in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side view of the
spouge holder, Fig. 2 is a rear view with the pincers shut and Fig. 3 is a front
view with the pincers open is free from these defects, for a new sponge can always
be put in the place of the detached or rejected one.
Moreover, to start with, the sponge is more firmly held than in the existing
holders, seeing that my holder is composed of spring pincers, compressed by a ring
to fix the sponge in its placo.
With the holder thus formed is combined an ear-pick.
The sponge-holder may be made of wood, celluloid, bone, inetal or any such like
substance.
Having now 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 sponge-holder made of wood, ivory, celluloid or the like substance for use as
an ear-cleaner, and distinguished by its taking the form of spring nippers
compressed by help of a ring, the said holder being combined with an ear-pick, or
device for cleaning the ears, the whole as described and for the purpose above
specified.

An Improved Pedal for Cycles.
I, RICHARD, VIOLET, of 20, Cuvrystrasse, Berlin, Prussia, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained.
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved pedal for cycles, and the object of my
invention is to provide a pedal which may be mounted to and removed from the
pedal-crank without being taken to pieces as is generally the case with pedals.
The pedal of my invention further offers the advantage that there is no part.
materially projecting at the inside, that is towards the cycle, the nut generally
employed to mount the pedal to the crank being replaced by a flat plate of little
thickness.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1'is a plan partly in longitudinal section of the pedal';
Figure 2 is an end view partly in cross section of the same.
a is the central bolt of the pedal round which the pedal frame is free to turn.
with its shell c as usual. The projecting end of said bolt a carries at its extremity
a flat elongated plate or head a¹ which may be oval shaped, but always greater in
length than in width. The neck of the projecting bolt a adjacent to the frame has.
a screw-thread cut on its circumference and a nut 6 is provided to be screwed on to
said threaded portion. The space between the screw-thread and the head a¹
corresponds to the thickness of the pedal crank. The pedal crank has a slot or
bole which corresponds in size to the said head, being but slightly larger, to allow
the head a¹ to be introduced into said hole. When the said head a¹ has been
passed through the pedal crank, the bolt a is turned 90 degrees and the head a¹
will thereby be placed across the elongated slot or hole. Keeping this position the
nut b is screwed up towards the head a' and thereby will bear against the crank.
locking the pedal in position. To remove the pedal from the crank, it will only be
necessary to screw the nut from the crank towards the pedal frame, and as soon as
it will come loose from the crank, the head a¹ of bolt a may be withdrawn from the
elongated slot or hole in the crank and the pedal is separated from the cycle without.
taking it to pieces.
The head plate a projecting beyond the crank is so thin as not to cause the
least obstacle, while the nut usually employed in this place to tighten the pedal up-
to the crank projects to an inconvenient extent.
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 pedal for cycles carrying at the inward end of its central bolt an elongated.
head plate and on its adjacent neck a nut capable of being screwed towards and.
from said head plate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

I SAMUEL ROBERT ENGLISH, 16 Addison Villas, Addison Street, Nottingham,
Pipe 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:-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a plan of an improved mouthpiece.
Figure 2 a side view of the perforated and slotted part, and
Figure 3 a sectional view of the perforated outer end.
Each mouthpiece is made in two parts, the part 1 is perforated throughout and
provided with a slot 2 closed at the lower end and open at the upper end, portion
of the upper end is reduced in diameter to receive the perforated outer end 3.
Before placing the part 3 in position a ready made roll of absorbent paper 4 is
inserted in the enlarged portion of the part the outer projecting part being
received by the slightly conical perforation of the part 3, the reverse end of the
roll fits the bevel near the lower end of the perforated part 1, thus making a
connection between the two parts perfect.
The whole of the mouthpiece may be made of horn, amber, bone, vulcanite or
other suitable material, or the outer part alone may be made of amber.
The lower end of the mouthpiece is pushed or screwed into the stem of a pipe in
the usual way.
When in use the roll of paper absorbs the nicotine as the smoke passes up it and
reaches the mouth of the user perfectly cool, the moisture absorbed evaporating
through the slot 2, when the roll of paper has become saturated with nicotine, the
part 3 of the mouthpiece may be removed, the roll of paper 4 withdrawn and a
fresh one inserted as often as required.
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 1
claim is :-
The construction and employment of improved mouthpieces for tobacco pipes,
substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.

Improvements in Dress-guards for Ladies' Cycles.
I FLORENCE SAUNDERS, of 31, Wren Street, Coventry, Cycle Dress-guard
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 improvements in dress-guards for ladies' cycles, and has
for object to provide a dress-guard that can be readily attached to, and removed from,
a cycle.
The essential feature of the invention consists in the means of attaching a dress-
guard to a cycle, such attaching aneans consisting of a number of spring swivels
provided at the top and bottom of such guard, the said spring swivels being capable
of easily hooking onto the mudguard, and other parts of a cycle to which such
dress-guards are usually attached."
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1. is side view of one of the attaching swivels,
Fig. 2. being a front view thereof, while
Fig. 3. is a view shewing a complete dress-guard attached to a bicycle.
Referring to the drawings, a is a dress-guard of any suitable pattern, such guard
being fashioned of silk-cased cord and elastic braid.
In loops a' at the top of the dress-guard a, are fastened swivels, such swivels
consisting of a single eye b, a hook portion b and a spring arm b³.
Similar spring swivels c, c, c, are provided at the lower part of the dress guard a.
In operation the spring swivels are attached, the upper set to the mud guard d, and
the lower set to the segmental piece e fixed upon projections upon the immovable rear
spindle of the cycle, or to any other convenient part of the latter.
It will be readily seen that by the peculiar construction of the attaching devices
and the manner in which they are secured to the dress guard they are capable of a
partial swivel movement, while at the same time the spring arm & which is an
important part of each attaching device, greatly facilitates the attaching of the
dress-guard to a cycle and also prevents the accidental displacement of such dress-
guard.
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 :-
1. The improvements in dress-guards for ladies' cycles, substantially as described
and shewn.
2. In dress-guards for ladies' cycles the attaching devices, each consisting of an
eye, a hook portion and a spring arm, so secured to the dress guard as to allow of a
partial swivel movement, substantially as specified and illustrated.

An Improved Process for Preventing the Sickening of Mercury in Amalgamating Machines.

page_text: Date of Application, 8th June, 1896-Accepted, 11th July, 1896
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process for Preventing the Sickening of Mercury in
Amalgamating Machines.
We, JOHN THOMAS PENNY, of Percy Court, off Gilbert Street, Adelaide, in
the Province of South Australia, Mining Agent, and JOHN DUNGEY, Secretary
of The Victorian Cold Accumulator Proprietary Company Limited, of Miller
Street, South Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria, 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 the mercury used in amalgamating machines, whether on
the plates or in the wells, is sickened by the presence and contact of sulphur,
arsenic, and other baser metals, the result of which is that the mercury becomes
less effective as an amalgamating medium for the precious metals.
Now our invention has been devised for the purpose of providing a remedy for
the sickening of the mercury used in amalgamating machines, and it consists in the
use of kerosene for this purpose, which may be applied in various ways; thus, it
may be permitted to drop in small quantities on to the material to be treated
before it enters the amalgamating machine, or as it is in the act of doing so; or it
may be supplied direct to the faces of the amalgamating plates, in either of which
cases it will have the effect, which we have hereinbefore stated, of quickening the
mercury both on the plates and in the wells.
If it be supplied to the material itself, about one drop of kerosene to every
shovelful of earth will be sufficient; and if it is supplied directly to the plates,
a few drops allowed to trickle down the face and supplied at intervals of say ten
minutes, will generally be found sufficient for the purpose. But it is evident that
these quantities may very much vary under different circumstances; all that is
required is that sufficient kerosene be supplied to prevent the sickening and con-
sequent deterioration of the mercury, and this is a matter which will be obvious to
the operator.
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 :-
The herein described process for preventing the sickening of mercury in
amalgamating machines, consisting in the supplying of kerosene either to the
material under treatment, or to the amalgamating plates and mercury whilst in the
machine, substantially as herein described and explained.

A New or Improved Hot Chamber for Gas Stoves.
I, MARGARETHE PLOETZ née KUMMER of Frauenstrasse 7 Anklam in the-
Empire of Germany, Gentlewoman 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 :-
However convenient and economical gas kitchen stoves may be, they have this.
inconvenience, they have no chamber or receptacle for warming the china intended
for serving meals without using a special flame.
The improved arrangement gives this warming by means of heat, which is.
reflected by the ordinary heating flames and the heated bottoms of the pots etc.,
downwards which is obtained by placing the gas stove upon a box or case which.
closed on its sides and bottom carries the gas stove as cover.
In the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 show the arrangement in perspective view.
Fig. 2 is a front view partly in cross section.
Fig. 3 is a plan view aud
Fig. 4 is a cross section.
The chamber or heating box consists of a case A open at top which on the front.
has a door C opening downwards through which the china is introduced. In the
drawing this chamber has also a side prolongation A' not covered by the gas stove
and forming a case not connected interiorly with the part A on the upper surface
of which dishes etc. can be placed. The feet of the gas stove are placed into the
hollows a. The chamber A can be made of wood and covered inside with iron
plates, it may also be made only of iron plates placed in another case and the
space between the two may be filled with heat retaining materials or a wood case
can be used covered inside with asbestos. This chamber or heating box is
conveniently placed upon a cupboard D.
As experience shows the air in the part A is heated to such a temperature that
even light pastry can be baked therein; it is thus possible to use by means of this
chamber or box the heat, which otherwise would have been lost.
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 :-
A heating chamber or box for gas stoves for utilizing the reflected heat for the-
purpose of warming china and the like consisting of a chamber or box upon which
the gas stove is placed and forms the cover.

of Brooms, Mops, and the like to their Handles.
We, JAMES HARLEY SMITH. of 72, North Road, Wolverhampton, Manager, and
GEORGE HENRY WILKES, of 99, Stafford Road, Wolverhampton, Pattern Maker, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
The object of our invention is to provide a simple and effective mode of attaching
the heads of brooms, mops and the like to their handles, and in carrying out our
invention, we proceed in or in about the following manner, that is to say, we provide
a cup like socket consisting of a cylindrical or more or less so ring closed at one end
by a disc. Passing through and attached to the disc forming the end of the socket, is
a double ended screw, one end projecting outside the disc and the other and longer
end standing up within and projecting slightly beyond the interior of the socket. In
cases where our invention is used in connection with mops, the part of the screw
projecting from the disc or base of the socket, is provided with a button or nut to
screw on the top of the screwed end which passes through the head of the mop.
Our invention is usable without the socket, when a cheap article is required, in
which case the longer end of the screw goes into the end of the handle.
In use the cup like socket is screwed over the end of the handle of the broom
or the like, the other end of the screw being screwed into the head, a cavity being
provided in the head to receive a part of the length of the socket. The socket may
be further attached to the handle by means of a small screw passed through the
side of the socket, a hole in which is provided for that purpose.
The socket is made of any suitable inetal or material or combination thereof.

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 refers to pots for growing plants, and is designed to provide a
pot which is not liable to breakage and will stand the rough usage to which
flower-pots are often subjected, as for instance in transit from the garden to the-
market.

EDWARD ALLSOPP 16 Whitmore Street Palfrey Walsall Staffordshire Saddle
Tree Riveter 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 a bar suspended from a closed hook formed in the solid
and an arch formed in the solid placed on the upper limb; which is secured to the
plate attached to the saddle tree.
There is a thumb piece and spring pivotted at the rear end of the lower limb
which falls in a line with the lower limb and thus releases the stirrup instantly
when the rider is thrown in a backward direction.
If the rider is thrown forward the bar turns right over and falls from a parallel
to a perpendicular position and thus releases the stirrup strap immediately.
So that my invention may be more thoroughly understood, I proceed to
describe it with the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings with the letters
marked thereon.
Fig. 1. represents a side view of the saddle bar constructed and arranged in
accordance with my said invention. The stirrup leather a is shown in its riding
position on the lower limb of the bar b.
Fig. 2. The bar b is suspended from one closed hook and works under the
arch e thus when a rider is thrown forward the bar 6 turns out of the arch and falls
instantly from a parallel to a perpendicular position, and releases the stirrup
leather a immediately.
Fig. 3. The stirrup strap a bears against the thumb piece d when a rider is
thrown in a backward direction, this causes the thumb piece d to fall in a line
with the lower limb 6 immediately releasing the stirrup strap a from the bar.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and the
manuer in which the same is or may be used and the effect thereof I declare my
claims to be:-
1. The closed hook formed in the solid.
2. The arch formed in the solid.

I, JOSEF AUGUST SPROSS of Kaiserslautern, Germany, 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 an improved form of pocket for garments which is
so made that articles placed therein cannot fall out of the usual opening or
through a hole torn or worn in the pocket.
The invention is illustrated, by way of example, on the accompanying sheets of
drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows one form of the pocket, in dotted lines, as fitted to a pair of trousers
and Fig. 2 shows the same pocket in section, on the line x-y Fig. 1.
Figs. 3 and 4 show modifications.
As clearly shown in the drawings the improvements consist in inserting within
an ordinary pocket a¹, a, a, a, (Fig. 1) and a Fig. 2, secured in the usual way to
the cloth A of the garment, another pocket 61, 62, 63, 6, (Fig. 1) and b Fig. 2,
which is preferably sewn to the inner side of the ordinary pocket a. This inner
pocket 6 can be closed by means of a flap c (Fig. 2) whose upper edge is likewise
sewn to the pocket a whilst it is provided with button holes at its lower edge in
order that it may be secured by buttons to the part b.
If preferred, in lieu of a flap c, the upper edge of the pocket 6 can be secured to
the inner wall of the pocket a by means of buttons.
In the modification shown at Fig. 3 the outer wall of cloth a is sewn to the
lining d. d is the usual flap. The pocket e is sewn to the cloth a, d¹, and a
second pocket g, tied up at the bottom by means of strings, laces, a piece of tape,
or such like, f, in the same manner as a wallet or tobacco pouch, is secured within
the pocket e.
With this arrangement the strings are loosened and objects introduced into the
pocket e whereupon the pocket can be again closed by means of the strings f.
In the modification shown at Fig. 4 a second pocket g is secured within the
pocket e and is capable of being closed at top by means of buttons i.
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 :-
A safety pocket for garments consisting of an outer pocket and an inner pocket
the latter being provided with means for closing it, substantially as described.

Improvements in Adjustable Baby Chairs.
1, JOHN POLLOCK MCPHUN of 38, Mill Street, Bridgeton, in the County of
the City of Glasgow, North Britain, Timber 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 improvements in adjustable baby chairs and has for its
object to effect the adjusting of the same to any required position in a much more
simple and efficient manner than at present.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawing in both figures of
which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is a back view of a baby chair constructed according to my improve-
ments.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of part of a chair showing my improvements.
In carrying my invention into practice I place between the seat A and the cross
bar B of the chair a fixed rod D'on which there is carried a spiral spring E whose
lower end presses against a guide plate F also carried on the fixed bar rod D, to
which guide plate Falso there is fixed a handle O. To the guide plate F two
levers G and H are pivoted, the other ends of each of these levers G and H being
connected to the pins or bolts I and J which rest in the holes K in the plates L
on the hind legs M, & N of the chair.
In operating the chair either with the view of lowering or raising it, the
handle O is pulled in an upward direction and this, with very little exertion,
causes the guide rod F to rise, and the levers G and H being connected with it are
brought towards each other, by means of the two short levers G1 and H 1, and
this operation withdraws the pins or bolts I and J from their hold in the plates L,
the spring E, after the release of the handle, causing the pins or bolts I and J to
fall into another hole in the plate and thus locking the chair in position.
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 baby chairs, the general arrangement, combination, and operation of the
parts for raising and lowering the chair to any desired position substantially as
described and shown on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
