A Method of Producing a Vegetable Gum adapted to Replace Gum
Arabic.
I, REGINALD HADDAN, of the Firm of Herbert Haddan and Co., of
18 Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C., London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention a communication to me from abroad by Rafaël
Maestre y Olivares, of Barcelona, in the Kingdom of Spain, Agricultural Chemist,
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 method of producing a vegetable gum
adapted to be used in the place of gum arabic.
The novelty of the method consists essentially in using for this manufacture
fruits of plants known under the name of Mesembrianthemum, belonging to the
family of the Mesembrianthemaca.
:
These fruits possess a gummy substance mixed with small quantities of sugar
and carbonate of lime this gummy substance is isolated or separated from the
ripe fruits by presses or other appropriate means and it constitutes the gum
desired.
These means may consist of the compression of the fruit, in the way grapes are
treated or of maceration, trituration and ebullition or solution in hot water.
The juice obtained is filtered, thus separating the pure gum from the impurities,
which latter are submitted to further analogous treatment for the purpose of
obtaining a gum of inferior quality. The guin may be used in the liquid form,
but if it is desired to obtain a more concentrated liquid or even a solid gum, the
juice is concentrated and evaporated to the desired degree.
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 I
claim is-
The method of manufacturing a vegetable gum adapted to replace gum arabic,
based on the extraction of the juice of the fruit of the Mesembrianthemum by
compression, maceration, trituration and solution followed by filtration and
concentration to a desired consistency.

Improvements in or relating to Secondary Batteries or Electrio
Accumulators.
I, WILHELM ALEXANDER BOESE of 8, Waterloo-Ufer, Berlin 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 improvements in the process for making active material
or plates for electric accumulators, for which I have received Letters Patent
No. 11532, dated June 20, 1892.
The improvements consist first in dissolving, in place of the residues of tar
distillation mentioned in the original process, certain other bodies of definite
chemical composition, in alcohol ether or benzol, and then employing such solutions
for mixing with the mass of the lead oxide.
Experiments have shown that the single or multiple hydroxylated derivatives of
aromatic hydrocarbons which show a pheuol-like character such as carbolic acid,
ereosol, naphthol and anthrol, pyrocatechin (oxyphenic acid), pyrogallic acid and
tannin, are mainly suitable for use as such bodies.
These bodies easily unite with the lead oxide (for instance the phenol to form
phenol-lead-oxide). The resulting compounds impart to the crude electrode a
solid admixture and are easily decomposed by the electric current.
The formation of the plates takes place otherwise essentially in the same manner
as is described in my aforesaid Patent No. 11532ºº.
The advantage over the previous process consists ou the one hand in the fact
that it is exactly known what bodies are inserted in the plates and thus the
manufacture is independent of the fluctuating composition of the residues from tar
distillation, and on the other hand in that the above mentioned bodies contain no
non-conductors, and therefore may be employed in large quantities or rather in
quantities fixed by experience. If in order to increase the solidity of the plates,
the phenol solutions be further treated with small quantities of hydrocarbons, such
for instance as paraffin, naphthalene or anthracene, this may also take place
according to exactly determined proportionate quantities.
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 process for making active material or plates for electric accumulators
Consisting in dissolving phenol-like bodies in alcohol, ether or benzol, with or
without the addition of fixed bydrocarbons, mixing them with lead oxide and then
forming the mixture into plates, which when dry, are immersed in dilute sulphuric
acid, substantially as described.

It is
My invention has for its object a driving gear for bicycles and the like, whereby
considerable increase or multiplication of speed may be obtained.
characterised by the combination with the frame of the bicycle of an arrangement
of wheels and gearing pinions multiplying the speed, and the mounting of such
which is arranged in a special manner in relation to the frame.
In carrying out my invention, I arrange on the axle carrying the cranks to
which are attached the pedals, a gearing wheel which takes the place of the chain
wheel which is ordinarily attached direct to this axle. This wheel engages with a
pinion mounted on an interinediate axle and this pinion engages with another
pinion which may be of the same diameter or not as desired, and is mounted on
the axle which carries the chain wheel, which through the chain communicates the
movement to the hub chain-wheel mounted on the axle of the rear driving wheel.
The arrangement of the machine at the point where the movement commences,
that is to say at the pedal action is as follows:-
.
I connect the tubing composing the frame by means of a specially constructed
bottom bracket which also serves to support, by means of lugs thereto attached,
the crank axle and also all the axles of the multiplying gear.
The adjustment of the chain is effected in the ordinary manner by means of
regulating screws enabling the axle of the driving wheel to be adjusted in the
fork ends.

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 :-
The object of my invention, is to prevent a nut from backing off from a bolt, as
it is liable to do, when subjected to continual jar and strain.
To this end, my invention consists in an open steel ring, or washer of spiral
form; and rectangular in cross section, having its upper and lower surfaces recessed,
so as to form thin raised edges on the outer and inner edges of said surfaces, and
said raised edges, cut into points which stand at right angles to said surfaces.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention, in which Fig. 1. is an edge
view; Fig. 2. is a plan view, and Fig. 3. is a view in cross section of my improved
nut lock.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.
The letter a, represents the body of the nut lock, consisting of an open steel
ring or washer, of spiral form, and rectangular in cross section. b, b, represent the
recesses formed in the upper and lower surfaces of said ring. a¹, represents the
thin raised edges, formed on the inner and outer edges of the upper and lower
surfaces of said ring. c, indicates the points into which said raised edges are cut.
There are several ways of making my nut-lock into the form described and
shown, but I prefer to form the recesses and points, by passing a bar of steel
through rolls properly formed for the purpose; and then winding it around au
arbor of suitable size, in the manner of forming a spiral spring; then cutting
through said spiral lengthwise, so as to divide it into single rings, and then giving
them a spring temper; when, they are ready for use.

A New or Improved Holder for Bells and Reflectors for Gas or
Lamp Brackets.
I, THOMAS HAMMOND SMALDON of 47, Danby Street, East Dulwich, London,
Fitter, 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 to be used in carrying bells or reflectors for
lamp brackets, and has for its object to provide a simple arrangement by means of
which the bell or reflector will be held always in the same relative position to the
flame.
In carrying out my invention I propose to employ a clip secured to the gas pipe,
carrying an arm of suitable length furnished with a hook at its end. The bell or
reflector is suspended on this hook, and as the arm is secured to the gas pipe, it
cannot shift with relation to the burner. In the ordinary arrangement in which
the bells are suspended from the ceiling on moving the bracket to one side the
ceiling is exposed, the bell being in that case quite useless. My invention obviates
this disadvantage.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the device fitted in position,
Fig. 2 is a detail view of the clip, and
Fig. 3 is a similar view of a slight modification.
A is the clip secured by means of the nut and bolt a to the gas pipe B.
This clip can be of any ordinary construction such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2,
or may be made in two parts A¹ as shown in Fig. 3. To the clip the arm
is secured projecting for a suitable distance at the required angle. The end of this
arm is bent into the hook e on which the bell or reflector D is suspended as shown
in Fig. 1.
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 improved suspender for bells and reflectors, for gas brackets, consisting
of a clip secured to the pipe having an arm furnished with a hook at its end
on which the bell is suspended, substantially as described and for the purposes
specified.
(2.) The improved suspending device for bells and reflectors for gas brackets,
formed from a clip secured to the pipe and an arm secured to the said clip bent
into hook form, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings,
and for the purposes specified.

An improved Cigar Cutter.
I, FRANK JOSEPH MEASURES of 29 Red Lion Square, Holborn London
Advertizing Agent 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:-
In the Specification of my Patent No. 11,599 of the present year, I have
described a certain novel device for piercing or cutting the tips or mouthpieces of
cigars available also for other purposes, and to which Specification I now make
reference in order to make clear the nature of this my present invention, which
latter consists of a cigar cutter with blade or knife, which blade or knife is located
at any convenient portion of the peripheral edge of a flat circular disc or "medal"
such as described in the Specification of my Patent of prior date hereto above
identified.
In order that my invention may the better be understood I have appended the
accompanying drawing illustrative thereof, which shews an elevational view of a
flat circular disc or medal such as above referred to.
It is formed with a gap or opening (a) between the sides of which the cutter (b)
is secured.
In using the device the disc is held in one hand and the cigar in the other. The
tip or smoking end of the cigar is pressed against the knife edge of the cutter
thereby forming one, or if desired, more indentations or slits; otherwise the
cutter (b) may be employed to cut off the tip & and so allow, under either mode
of using the device, of the ventilation or free smoking of the cigar.

A New or Improved Self-fixing Tie or Scarf.
I, HANS ULBERT, of 8 Upper Wilhelmstrasse, Schweidnitz, Germany,
Pharmaceutical Chemist do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object a new or improved self-fixing tie or scarf.
Hitherto those ties which consist of a band which tied or buckled at the back of
the neck do not adhere closely to the collar but has always a tendency to ride up
to the top of it and causes the collar to assume an unsightly appearance and the tie
to look one sided. All the devices or studs hitherto made to obviate this incon-.
venience have not fulfilled their purpose. Hence buckling the tie at the back of
the collar is very inconvenient and well nigh impossible for obese people while.
moreover the tyeing of a knot requires always a certain amount of dexterity which.
everybody does not possess.
To discover a contrivance which will remedy all these defects without having to
change the fashion, that is to say, without having to deviate from the various kinds.
of ties and scarves generally worn must be acknowledged everywhere to be a most
decided improvement and my invention accomplishes this, for the tie or scarf
requires neither to be buckled or to be tied and can be applied automatically as.
will be hereinafter explained; and in order that the invention may be clearly.
understood I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which
Figure 1, is a view of a steel spring clip and,
Figure 2, is a view of the tie or scarf complete.
I make a circular spring a Figure 1 so made as to keep constantly closed and is
provided with two or more tongues or projections & which clip under the collar and
so prevents the tie from ling on the same. The spring a is then covered with
any suitable material and is provided in front with any kind of knot, pulling
the spring open, and placing it round the collar, taking care that the tongues.
or projections are under the bottom of the collar and then letting the spring
regain its normal state. It will be seen that this simple contrivance not only
keeps the tie nicely in position but is very easy to adjust in its place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said:
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I.
claim is:-
:-
A self-fixing tie or scarf characterized by a spring a sewn in the band of
the tie or scarf and bearing tightly against the collar, being engaged under the-
latter by small turned over flaps b which prevent the riding of the tie on
the collar substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shown upon the.
drawings.

We, FRIEDRICH WILHELM HEINRICH HEMPEL, of Waterlooufer 4, Engineer,
and MAX GUMPEL, of Taubenstrasse 39, Merchant, both of Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, 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, which relates to incandescent gas lamps, and is illustrated by the
accompanying drawings consists mainly in the improved arrangement of the burner
bead band of the gas collector G. The head of the burner B is covered over
with wire gauze e or with perforated sheet metal and is also provided with a
vertical wire gauze or perforated sheet metal ring so that the gases issue
borizontally and vertically to the ring and consequently by the action of the
plate p the flame obtains an enlarged cylindrical form. The carrier t for the
incandescent mantle is fastened to the plate p in the ordinary manner. The object
of so arranging that the outflowing vertical gas will meet the horizontally issuing
gas is to obtain an enlarged and dense flame and consequently intensified
incandescence.
If it is desired to use the burner B on a spirit, water gas or other suitable lamp,
a gas collector G is interposed between the burner B and the gas pipe. The
collector G is of spherical or other suitable form its under or inlet side and its
upper or outlet side being provided with nozzles d, d', respectively. A tube i and
a bell o which covers the top of the tube i gives the entering gas an upward and
then a downward direction before it enters the collector G from whence it travels
through the nozzle d' drawing air through the slots / in its passage to the burner B.
The collector G becomes warm whereby the gas is maintained at a high pressure
within the collector G and the increase of heat power feeds the flame.
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 :-
1. An incandescent gas burner having a wire gauze or perforated covering r, e,
extended over and around the head of the burner adapted to effect a simul-
taneous horizontal and vertical discharge of the gas and consequently to obtain an
enlarged flame by which the incandescence of the mantle is intensified.
2. In an incandescent lamp for burning water gas the arrangement in com-
bination of a burner carrier, a suitably formed gas collector G baving a tube i,
bello and nozzles d, d', for obtaining higher gas pressure.

The actual part of the brake in contact with the tyres being entirely of glass
affords an easy grip whilst at the same time it prevents the tyres being torn or
cut and also saves a considerable amount of wear and tear through the easy and
uniform pressure.
In the case of wheels fitted with india rubber or composite, pneumatic, cushion
or solid tyres the action of the glass against the tyres in wet weather or on slippery
roads will enable the brake to obtain an easy and firm grip.

Improvements in or relating to Cinder Sifters.
I, CHRISTIAN GONDORF, of Godesberg, 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 has for its object to provide an apparatus by means of which the
cinders can be separated from the entirely useless light ash and dust in such manner
that they can be readily used again.
On the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a plan, Fig. 3 an end view partly in section,
Fig. 4 a longitudinal section and Fig. 5 a plan view, with the cover removed, of
the apparatus.
Figs. 6 to 9 show various methods of fixing the cover tightly on the apparatus.
The apparatus consists essentially of a pan or case a for the reception of the
ash and which may be of oval, round, quadrangular or other suitable shape. Upon
this pan
is placed a top which is closed dust proof by a lid c. The top is
hermetically fitted into the pan a either by means of a packing strip or cord placed
in a hollow bead or edge as shown at Figs. 6, 8 and 9 or by a packing band placed
in a hollow bent over edge made on the pan as shown at Fig. 7. The lid c of the
pan is closed dust tight in the same manner.
Sliding on rails s in the top is a frame into which is placed an ash box p
provided with a sieve plate or bottom o. The box and frame can be
reciprocated by means of a handle i which is connected to the frame by means of
the rod u..
After the box p with the ashes therein is placed in the frame the latter is
reciprocated by means of the handle i and as a consequence the light ashes and
dust fall through the meshes of the sieve into the pan below whilst the cinders
remain in the box and can be subsequently removed and burned over again.
In this manner the good cinders can be readily and conveniently recovered.
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 :-
An ash pan or receptacle having an air tight top b provided with a movable
sifting box p for the purpose of readily separating the cinders from the fine ash
and dust substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings
annexed.

view. Such a mantle M is made with an asbestos thread T crossing the opening
at its top and this thread usually rests in the forked upper end of a stem made of
refractory material extending up from the burner. Now according to my invention
I make the stem S with an eye E open at one side, into which eye I introduce the
asbestos thread T, and I extend the stem S some distance above the eye so as to
form a handle H by which the stem with the mantle suspended on it can be lifted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven™
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A support for an incandescence mantle consisting of a stem having an eye open
at one side to receive the cross thread at the top of the mantle, substantially as
described.

Improvements in Picking-mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
I, LUDWIG COHN, of 9 Vor dem Siechenthor, Nordhausen, in the Kingdom of
Prussia, German Empire, 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 :-
The invention relates to improvements in picking-mechanism of looms for weaving,
and has for its object a picking arm for underpick motions consisting of two, three
or more homogeneous or different woods glued together. The sheet which is between
the others runs either parallel to the longitudinal fibres of the two other sheets or
can, if consisting of two parts, run at its upper part parallel and at its lower part
rectangular to the fibres of the two other wood sheets.
With reference to the accompanying drawings wherein
Fig. 1 is a plan view and
Fig. 2 a side view, showing the middle sheet in one piece.
The advantage resulting by this arrangement is, that the strength of the picking
arm which has to bear most in its midst as well as on its lower big end during the
movement of the loom, is raised considerably by the different structure of the
woods glued together.
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 picking arm for underpick motions of any form for power looms consisting of
two, three or more homogeneous or different woods glued together with equal or
different direction of fibres, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Chisels for Working Wood.
I, GOTTFRIED GOLLER, of Bayreuth, Bavaria, in the Empire of Germany,
Mechanic 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 chisels or tools for cutting wood, by
means of which the operator is enabled to cut very small grooves in wood, by
simply driving in the chisel, and at the same time the tool is withdrawn the chips
are brought out.
With chisels as hitherto used, it was very difficult to work out a true and small
groove or recess, because the wood was not properly cut, but only compressed and
driven asunder by the chisel.
The chisel possesses the advantage of cheapness compared with shaping
machines, and is labour and time saving, as the groove is finished at one operation
by the chisel, whereas a shaping machine would require to be adjusted to the
object before operating.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the 'accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Fig. 1 is a front or broadside elevation of the improved chisel shewn driven
into a block of wood.
Fig. 2 is an edge view of Fig. 1.
According to this invention, the chips are cut clean and short by the particular
formation of the cutting edge of the tool, and a space is provided for allowing the
little chips to escape.
It will be seen from the accompanying drawings that the chisel has not got a
straight edge, but is serrated on its cutting edge somewhat like a pruning saw,
with teeth and large gaps for receiving the chips. The tool is simply driven into
the wood, and the fibres of wood between each pair of teeth are cut off and forced
into the gaps, and in order that the teeth may cut the better, they are slightly
bevelled. The chips, when in the gaps, expand a little, and are removed by the
backs of the teeth when the chisel is drawn out of the groove or recess.
The tool is especially suitable for small grooves or recesses, such as those into
which the fixings of doors, windows, and the like are fixed, and by its use, the
upper edges of the grooves or recesses are left sharp. The chisel may be provided
with a scale, commencing at its teeth, in order that the operator sees how deep
the tool is driven.
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 chisel or tool for cutting small grooves or recesses, and having its cutting
edge serrated, somewhat like a rough pruning saw that is provided with teeth for
cutting the wood fibres, and with gaps for receiving and drawing out the little
chips, substantially as herein described, and illustrated by the annexed drawings.

I, EDWIN THOMPSON, of 14 Green Lane, Heaton Norris, Stockport, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved pencil-point protector and consists
substantially as follows:
A cylindrical piece of metal of suitable length, has a screw thread formed
in same.
The pencil itself has also a screw thread formed on its surface of the same pitch
as in the cover or protector aforesaid.
A rapid pitch is preferably used.
When the pencil is required for use, it is screwed through the protector until
the point projects beyond said projector.
When not received for use the pencil is turned in the opposite direction to
that stated above, the point thus being protected behind the aforesaid screwed
cover.

I, EDWIN THOMPSON, of 1ª Green Lanes, Heaton Norris, Stockport, 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 :-
The object of my invention is the production of a protector for the points of
pencils or the like, and carrying it into effect I provide a tube of metal or other
suitable material having formed around it an indented helix of quick pitch. The
inner diameter of the tube where not indented, is slightly larger then the diameter
of the pencil on which the protector is to be used. The pencil itself has formed on
its surface a helical groove of the same pitch as the helix on the tube. It will be
obvious, therefore, that the tube cannot be placed on the pencil unless its indented
helix enters the helical groove on the pencil itself, and it will be equally obvious
that when the indented helix has entered the helical groove, the tube may be
propelled to and fro on the pencil either by rotating the tube or the pencil.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 shews an elevation of the protector when in use for protecting the point
of the pencil, and
Fig. 2 shews an elevation of the protector after propelling it along the helical
groove in the pencil, and so exposing the pencil point for use.
a is the tube above referred to, having the indented helix b formed around it and
moving in the helical groove e formed on the surface of the pencil d.

Improvements in or relating to Oards for Carding Machines.
I REGINALD HADDAN of the Firm of Herbert Iladdan & Co Patent Agents of
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C London Civil Engineer do hereby declare
the nature of this invention a communication to me from abroad by the Fum of
1. D. Seelemann & Sohne, Manufacturers of Cards, of Neustadt on the Oila in
the Empire of Germany and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement.—
Heretofore in the manufacture of cards for carding machines it has been usual
to bend the wire for the teeth into U form and to insert it through the fillet or
hacking so that the projecting points from two teeth. Although these points are
afterwards bent to an angle, vet the connecting part of the wire between the bases
of the two teeth is in effect in the same plane as the teeth and the action of carding
tends to turn the teeth back upon this part as an axle which leads to a loosening of
the teeth in the holes through which they pass though the fillet.
Such construction is shown in the annexed drawings in Figs. 1 and 2, a bemg the
teeth, and the connecting part between two teeth.
According to the present invention this part is not straight as in Fig. 2, noi 18
it left substantially in the same plane as the teeth a, but it is bent out of that plane
so that it assumes any appropriate angulat or curved form having for its object to
produce a better bearing upon the surface of the card cylinder or against the under
surface of the fillet so that the tendency of the teeth to revolve about this part 18
met by a resistance due to the deflection of part 6 from a straight line which enables
this part to exert a leverage against the turning of the teeth.
Forms of deflections suitable for this purpose are shown in Figs 4 to 6 at d that
in Fig. 4 being an angular single bent form, that in Fig. 5 a sumple curve and that
in Fig 6 a different form of cui ve Of these forms that shown in Fig. 4 18
preferied as being the simplest
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same 18 to be performed declare that what I
claim 15.-
The improvements in cards or relating to the teeth thereof, consisting in forming
or bending the connecting base between two teeth out of the plane of said teeth
in order to form an anti-rotative bearing or support for the said teeth for the
purpose set forth.

Improvements in Handles for Velocipedes, Flat-irons, Tools, and
the like.
I ELLIS MENKE of 41 Blittersdorfsplatz, Frankfort on the Main 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 :-
The
This invention relates to handles for velocipedes, flatirons, tools and the like of
which the surface is wholly or partly covered with a thin layer of cork.
improved handle has the advantage that while the cost of its construction is not
materially altered, it always preserves the characteristics of a cork handle which
is a bad conductor of heat and of an elastic character. Moreover it is of greater
durability than a solid cork handle.
Different forms of construction of the said handle are illustrated in the annexed
drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents, in longitudinal section a handle a for velocipedes consisting of
wood or other material and having around its grasping surface a covering layer b
of cork.
Fig. 2 shows in longitudinal section a handle c for velocipedes, the entire surface
of which is covered with a cork layer d while its ends are provided with ferrules e
slid on to them.
Fig. 3 shows in longitudinal section a handle of which part of the surface is
covered with a cork layer g while there are also ferrules slid onto its ends.
Fig. 4 represents in longitudinal section a handle for flat irons and the like, the
grasping part of which is covered with a cork layer k while its ends are provided.
with cheeks to prevent the hands from sliding off.
Fig. 5 is a handle m in longitudinal section for trowels, the grasping part of
which is covered with a cork layer o, a conical ferrule p being attached to the-
fastening end.
As only thin layers of the cork are required, a better quality may be employed
and the layers may be connected to the handle proper in a waterproof manner so
that the handle would sufficiently resist all effects of the weather.
Handles of all kinds may in this manner be provided with cork layers, without
their durability being impaired.
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 handle, the grasping surface of which is partially or wholly provided with a
thin cork layer, the latter being united to said handle in a waterproof manner so
that the handle may be constructed of any solid material and at the same times
preserve the characteristics of a solid cork handle.
