page_text: I, RUDOLF FIEK, of 34, Hollmannstrasse, Berlin, S.W., 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 an arrangement of or on tobacco pipes having for
its object to obtain perfectly dry smoking and consists essentially in the insertion
into the pipe stem below the mouthpiece of a piece hereinafter called the separator
provided with several passages so arranged that the saliva and the moisture con-
tained in the tobacco smoke and separated therefrom are conducted into a
collector, which can be readily emptied.
The improvement is represented on the accompanying drawing Figure 1 showing
a pipe with the improvement applied thereto, and Figure 2 an enlarged section
of the separator.
The pipe stem is divided into two parts 6 and e, as shown on Figure 1, between
which parts the separator C, Figure 2, is so inserted that the part 6 connected
to the mouthpiece a communicates with the passage of the separator, while the
part e to the lower end of which the bowl f of the pipe is attached, communicates
with the passage c which is closed by a stopper 9 at the top. The passages h
and care parallel and communicate through the inclined bore i, in consequence of
which the smoke drawn from the bowl passes through the part e of the stem,
passage c, bore i, passage h, part b, and mouthpiece a into the mouth of the
smoker. To the lower end of the passage h, the collector d is detachably connected,
into which the moisture flows in consequence of the vertical and inclined position
of the passages; the saliva flowing from the mouthpiece a and part 6 of the stem
directly into the collector without passing through the part e, in consequence of
which the tobacco in the bowl f cannot be moistened thereby. The bore i forms
an acute angle with the passages c and h in the separator C, so that the smoke is
also compelled to pass the separator in an angular flow, and he deflected at the
highest point towards the collector. In consequence of the inclined position of
the bore i all moisture contained in the smoke is separated therefrom, and flows
into the collector d, the more so, as the smoke also is conducted downwards
through the bore, and reascends towards the mouthpiece a above the collector.
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:-
In tobacco pipes the insertion into the pipe stem below the mouthpiece of a
moisture separator having two parallel passages connected by an inclined bore,
one of said passages communicating at the bottom with the bowl of the pipe and

page_text: at the top with the inclined bore, and the other at the top with the mouthpiece
and at the bottom with the inclined bore and a detachable collector, substantially
as and for the purpose herein before set forth and illustrated by the drawings.

Improvement in Rockdrills.
I, JULIUS BOEDDINGHAUS, Merchant, of Staphanienstrasse, Düsseldorf, Germany,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
1
Hitherto two-edged or four-edged drills have been employed for making holes
in stone or brick walls, but two-edged drills have the drawback that the holes
produced by the same are less smooth than desired and easily form lateral cracks,
while with four-edged drills a slight turning of the drill is sufficient to bring
one of the cutting edges into the recess produced by the preceding edge.
To avoid these and other defects, I construct a three-edged drill in the manner
illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which Fig. 1 is a side view of a drill
embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; Fig. 3 is a side
view at right angles to Fig. 1; Fig. 4 a section along line A-B of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 represents a modification.
The drill is made from a round steel bar having three longitudinal grooves
which are gradually getting shallower and narrower from the point towards the
base of the drill. The wings formed between the grooves are sharpened at the
end, so as to produce the conically radiating cutting edges s.
Owing to its shape, such a drill has greater strength and is more securely guided
by the walls of the hole already cut, than is the case with drills having grooves of
uniform width. Instead of being straight, as represented by Figs. 1 and 3, the
three grooves may be more or less helical, as illustrated by the three-edged twist
drill, Fig. 5.
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 rockdrill having three longitudinal grooves gradually reduced in width
from the point towards the base, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A three-edged twist drill having grooves gradually reduced in width from the
point towards the base, substantially as and for the purpose described.

This invention relates to improvements in collar studs, solitaires and the like,
and its object is to provide a stud which can be placed in position without risk
of tearing the shirt or collar and without the difficulties usually experienced with
the ordinary studs.
The stud is formed in two parts, the base carrying a hollow stem or post which
is screwed internally. The head is also provided with a stem which is adapted to
screw into the hollow post.
The hollow post or stem is passed through the shirt and collar or the cuff there
being no difficulty in doing this and no risk of tearing the shirt. The head is
then screwed into place and the stud is complete. To unfasten it is only neces-
sary to unscrew the head when the base can be easily removed.
The studs may be made of metal, bone or other suitable material and the heads
can be of any desired shape.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing which shows a stud made according to my invention.
A is the base which carries the hollow post or stem B screw threaded internally.
The head C is also provided with a stem D formed with a screw thread which is
adapted to screw into the stem or post of the base.
The stem B is passed through the stud hole after the head has been removed
and the head is then screwed into position.
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 improved collar stud or solitaire having a hollow tapped stem on the base
and a head with a screw threaded stem adapted to screw into the hollow part,
substantially as described and for the purposes specified.

the place intended for the chin and in front thereof, just under the lower lip
I attach a strap and buckle 1) which when fastened renders it impossible for the
appliance to come off round the neck of its own accord. By these means the
mouth is kept closed during sleep and breathing through the nostrils is thereby
promoted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;-
-
1st. A belt of webbing or other like material substantially as and for the
purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated with reference to the accompany-

Improvements in Frames for Lamp Shades.
I, FRANKLIN Edward Howard, of 331, Franklin Street, Buffalo, in the County
of Erie and State of New York, United States of America, Dentist, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved shade frame,
more especially designed for use on electric lamps, and which is simple and
durable in construction, readily applied to a lamp in any position, and arranged
to securely hold the shade in place.
The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the
same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying
drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of refer-
ence indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement;
Figure 2 is an inverted plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a sectional side elevation of a modified form of the improvement;
and
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the same.
The improved shade frame illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, is provided with a
beveled ring A, from the upper end of which extends an annular flange A¹, formed
with an inwardly extending short flange A³, both flanges A1, A2 being formed
with vertical slits, so as to render the parts formed thereby sufficiently yielding
to permit of readily passing the small end of the shade over said flanges, to finally
bring the shade in engagement with the beveled ring A, so as to properly sup-
port the small end of the shade on the frame.
As is well known, shades are usually in the form of a frustum of a cone, the
sides of which correspond to the bevel on the ring A, the small diameter of the
shade corresponding approximately to the diameter of the small end of the ring A.
On the ring A are fastened, preferably by means of rivets B, a number of
spring arms C, having their upper ends projecting beyond the flanges A¹, A8,
as is plainly shown in Figure 1, to engage the socket of the lamp, as is plainly
indicated in said Figure 1. The lower end of each spring arm C extends below
the ring A, and is preferably split into two arms C3, C4, of which the arm C³ is
curved inwardly and rests with its free end on the bulb of the lamp, as indicated
in said Figure 1. The other arm C is formed at its outer end with an eye, for
receiving and supporting a wire ring D on which rests a portion of the shade
between the upper and lower ends thereof, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1.
Each of the spring arms C is riveted to the inside of the ring A, and the ends C¹,
C extend in alignment with each other and at an angle corresponding to the
bevel of the ring A. Thus, by the arrangement described, the shade is securely
supported at the small end and at a distance therefrom, and as the frame is fitted

thickness along its folding edges as at a, while the edges a¹ of the open part of
the protector are only of two thicknesses.
Three of the folds of the protector are stitched together along one of the long
sides, and both the short sides, while the other long side a¹ is left open to enable
the protector to he slipped upon a cuff or wrist-band. Link-holes bare provided
in the said protector, such holes corresponding in position with those in the cuff
proper c. By means of the said link-holes b, the protectors can be secured upon
the cuffs or wrist-bands by means of links d or their equivalent, thereby, in con-
junction with the peculiar arrangement of the folds of the protectors, rendering
the latter practically indistinguishable from the cuffs or wrist-bands proper, when
in use.
If desired, I may construct my improved protector of paper, celluloid, or similar
material, in which case little or no stitching would be required.
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 improvements in cuff protectors, consisting in a longitudinal strip of
material folded in such a manner as to produce four folds along three of its sides,

page_text: three of each respective set of folds being stitched together and the protector so
formed having link-holes to correspond with those of the cuff-proper, substantially
as and for the purpose described, and as set forth in the drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combined Letter-sheet and Envelope.
I, WILHELM LEOPOLD, of 15, Herzogstrasse, Stuttgart, 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 :—
This invention relates to a letter envelope having a form for the address and a
gummed closing flap, by means of which the sheet of paper, folded in an appropriate
manner, can be closed in such a way that the inner surface of the sheet, thus folded,
cannot be rendered visible before the said flap is cut or detached in some other
way.
This letter-envelope, which is illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings,
is closed in the same manner as an ordinary letter. To effect this the sheet,
which can be of any suitable size, is folded at first along the line c, g, e, in such
a manner that the corners band c¹ rest upon the corners and d; the side for the
address remaining at the outside. The sheet is then folded along the line f, g, h,
in such manner that rests upon f; then along the lines p, q, r, and 8, t, u,
and, finally, along the lines i, k, l, and m, n, o. The face p, r, s, u, thus folded
into four parts, is afterwards slid below the upper face d, f, i, k, and the letter
is now ready to be closed, which can be done by gumming the flap v upon the
extremities c and d. It is self evident that for this letter-envelope one can use any
size of sheet and that the part which is written on can be easily copied in a
copying press.
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 letter-envelope with form for the address and gummed closing flap, by means
of which the sheet of paper written upon and folded in an appropriate manner can be
closed in such a way that the inner surface of the sheet so folded cannot be made
visible without first cutting the flap or detaching it in some other way, substantially
as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawing annexed.

Improvements in Beer Syphons.
I, JOSEPI BAER, of 25, Alexandrinenstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
Notwithstanding the great number of beer syphons brought out during the last
few years not one has proved completely satisfactory in practice. This is due
to the fact that for the closing of the carbonic acid gas supply to the beer space,
the supply of the same to such space and also the filling of the said acid into
the carbonic acid container a number of sensitive valves and the like are required
which often get out of order and which even the trained workman cannot keep
in good working order on account of the complicated nature of such parts thus
necessitating constant interruptions for repairs.
By this invention a beer syphon is provided which ensures a thoroughly reliable
action without any valves being used.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown my improved beer syphon in
elevation.
In the said drawing a represent the beer bottle which is arranged on the car-
bonic acid gas container 6 and which is closed air-tight by the cover e adapted
to be pressed firmly onto the bottle neck by the device dd. A syphon tube f is
inserted through a hole in the cover and is provided at its outer end with a beer
tap g. The carbonic acid gas container bis connected by means of flexible
tubing with the extension k of the cover and through a suitable passage fl
with the interior of the bottle.
The flexible tubing is fitted with a clip m serving for opening or for stopping
the supply of carbonic gas and which can be regulated to the exact amount of
gas required for the beer space.. It should be noticed that the flexible tubing h
with the clip m further serves in filling the carbonic acid gas container b. To
this end the union o is unscrewed from the socket on the extension K and is then
screwed onto the nipple of the gas cylinder as is indicated at o¹. Thereupon
the clip m is untightened so as to allow the gas to enter the gas container b.
After having filled the container the clip is re-closed and the connection with
the gas-cylinder severed and then finally the union o is screwed back onto the
socket of the extension K.
If now the clip is unscrewed and the tap g opened the beer flows from the bottle.
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:
In beer syphons the use of a flexible tube fitted with a tube clip and serving
both for the filling of the carbonic acid gas container and for regulating the flow
of the carbonic gas into the beer space.

Improvements in Artificial Teeth.
I, CARL REININGHAUS, of 15, Bahnhofstrasse, München-Gladbach, in the Empire
of Germany, Dentist, 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 dispense with the palate plates heretofore
generally employed in the use of artificial teeth, and to simply substitute the
plates by wire frames.
The invention is shewn in the accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation and
Figure 2 a plan.
The essential feature of the invention is a curved wire frame a shaped accord-
ing to the formation of the gums and jaws as the case may be. This curved
wire frame a has wire pieces soldered on to it, by the aid of which the wire
frame can be firmly applied to the still remaining natural teeth.
The shape and number of the wire pieces b to be secured to the wire frame a
is of course dependant upon each individual requirement, that is to say, upon the
number of natural teeth left, and upon the formation of the gums and jaws.
The artificial teoth c are arranged in a suitable manner on the wire pieces b,
for instance by securing them to appropriate intermediate supports d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
1] claim is:-
The provision of sets of artificial teeth without the use of palate plates, the
characteristic feature being a curved wire frame (a) on which, according to the
number and shape of the natural or artificial teeth, wire pieces b are arranged by
which the artificial teeth can be firmly secured in position on applying them to
the natural teeth still left substantially as described.

JOSEPH THOMAS WICKS, Ferndale, Tamworth Road, Gravelly Hill, Birming
ham, in the County of Warwick, India Rubber Expert and Factory Manager,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in hot water bottles, cushions, and the like hollow-ware articles
made of india rubber.
The object of my invention is to produce a moulded seamless hot water bottle,
cushion, bolster, pillow, saddle, or the like hollow-ware article made of red,
white, black or coloured india rubber sheet or india rubber compound fabric.
At present, hot water bottles are made from india rubber sheet, having on
the outside of every bottle borders of rubber tape or straps which necessitate
clumsy seams.
Unsuccessful attempts have been made to mould these articles.
I purpose making these hollow articles entirely seamless, that is without
tapes, borders, joints or fins.
Secondly Moulded in metal moulds, made of aluminium or lined with alumi-
nium or other white metal such as type-metal.
Thirdly When moulding I fill the hollow article with water or other liquid
which during the process of vulcanisation either in a steam boiler or a press,
moulds the article seamless by the pressure of the water and steam within the
article.

CONRAD DEWEY, Merchant, of 50, Stamford Street, Blackfriars, in the County
of London, and JOSEPH ALFRED CHOWN, Gentleman, of 2, Southampton Street,
London, W.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:-
Our invention relates to an apparatus for producing acetylene gas the said
apparatus being readily applied to existing bycle and other lamps. The apparatus
consists of a thin metal, tapered shaped carbide of calcium receptacle as per
drawing Fig. No. 1 closed at the top by a soldered plate in which there is an
outlet orifice A for conducting the gas away, and closed at the bottom by means
of a cap Fig. No. 2 through which we pass a piece of cotton wick A, the said
cotton wick being for the purpose of conveying the water to the carbide of
calcium.
To make a joint we affix a rubber band. To apply to existing lamps, remove
the burner and wick, use oil vessel as a water vessel in which the acetylene
generator is placed when it will be seen that generation takes place instantly
and the said generator can be lighted at the aforesaid outlet orifice. This
apparatus may be used from time to time without deteriating it in any way by
simply removing the spent carbide, refilling, and seeing the outlet orifice for con-
ducting gas away is clear.
