An Improved mode of Swing Nampies
I, CHARLES ARTHUR LINE of the firm of John Line & Sons, of Broad Street
Reading in the County of Berkshire, Wholesale and Export paper hangings merchants
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 an improved mode of showing samples of paper
hangings, so that they may be more effectively seen and compared with reference to
what their general effect would probably be when hung in regard to colour or design
or the effect of colour upon any particular design when hung upon the side of a room.
This I effect in a compact and cheap manner so that such samples, are easily
transmitted from place to place.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, and more easily carried into
practice, I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which a
view of a case, is shewn which will serve to illustrate the invention and it will be
clearly understood that the particular arrangement may be somewhat varied without
departing from the spirit of the invention such for instance as the exchange of the
position of the various parts or the substituting of a greater or less number of samples
for the particular number shewn so long as there is the possibility of comparison in
color, and two or more to choose from. Now referring to the drawings
The pattern case is shewn in its open state and may consist of card board or paper,
or leather or other material capable of being printed with impressions, and it may be
doubled or folded at one or more places but in the case shewn at one place riz: the
dotted line A. The left side of the case, has four samples of the paper itself shewn
viz B, C, D and E. Ench being of different colour, but in the sunie pattern that is
to say the samples on this side would be of a variety of characters or colours and the
right side K illustrates the appearance of such samples when brought together upon
the side of a room so as to give a different idea to the mind of the result of using the
various samples B C D or E. Printed explanatory matter is placed in the

page_text: spaces b', c, d², e¹, or ¹, or at the other parts of the case to make the samples
still more clear and this is of course varied according to the quality and style of
the paper monnted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invon-
tion and in what manner the same is to bo performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
First: The improved mode of shewing samples of paper hangings of the case
substantially as herein sot forth and as illustrated upon the drawings.

Improvements in "Draught Bars" for Carriages and other Wheeled Vehicles.
Year: 1889

page_text: Improvements in "Draught Bars" for Carriages and other Wheeled
Vehicles.
I, EDWARD STENNING, of 149 and 151 Euston Road, London, in the County
of Middlesex, Carriage Builder, 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 draught bars for carriages and other
wheeled vehicles drawn by animal power, the objects being to render the labour more
easy by enabling the bar to accomodate itself to the movements of the animal, to
protect the latter from unnecessary rubbing or chafing from the collar and traces
and to facilitate its release from the vehicle in case of accident. The invention is
equally applicable for single or double horse purposes.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a plan view of the improved
draught bar, Fig. 2 a front elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 a detail of the devices for
fixing and adjusting the same.
A is the draught bar provided as usual with hooks a for attaching the traces. In
the centre of the bar is a hub or boss B through which passes a bolt C provided with
a nut e, the said bolt and nut affording a means of securing the bar to any suitable
part of the framework of the vehicle, such as D. To this latter portion a spring E
is fixed by means of a square bolt e and a nut e¹ fitting on the rounded end thereof
and the ends of the spring bear against enlargements at formed on the draught bar A.
The pressure of the spring always tends to keep the draught bar in a position at right
angles to the line of draught but permits a certain amount of deviation therefrom
which ensures a more uniform tension upon the traces when the vehicle has to turn
a corner or otherwise to diverge from a straight course whereby the labour of the
horse or other animal is rendered more easy and it is also protected from undue
friction from the collar and traces. Should the horse fall, the nut c can be readily
unscrewed and the bolt C withdrawn whereby the traces are at once freed, and the
unharnessing can be readily accomplished without damage. The invention can be
applied to existing vehicles at a slight cost.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said
Invention and in what manner the same may be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The combination in a vehicle drawn by animal power of a draught bar such as A
capable of swivelling upon a bolt C, with a spring such as E tending to maintain the 5
said bar at right angles to the line of draught, in manner and for the purpose
substantially as shewn and described.

page_text: I WILLIAM PROCTOR CRARY of 417 Washington Avenue in the City of Brooklyn,
Kings County, State of New York, United States of America, 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 to provide bottle stoppers of cork or other material,
with means whereby they may be casily withdrawn from the bottle without the use
of a cork-screw, and to this end my invention consists in combining with the cork
a covering of cloth, rubber or animal tissue or other material, tied above the top
of the cork and extended above the binding cord to furnish a grasp or handle for
withdrawing the cork from the bottle. The covering may also be made of sufficient
extent to adapt it to be tied down over the neck of the bottle and used as a cap to
protect the cork and neck.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specifi-
cation, in which figure 1 shows my invention applied to a bottle, the cork covering
being shown tied down over the neck of the bottle; figure 2 is a sectional elevation
showing the cork in the bottle and the covering elevated ready to be grasped for
withdrawing the stopper. Figures 3, 4 and 5 show stoppers of various sizes con-
structed in accordance with my invention. Similar letters of reference indicate
corresponding parts in all the figures.
To a common stopper A of cork or other suitable material, I apply a covering B,
of cloth, skin, rubber-tissue; that is raw India-rubber rolled into thin sheets, or other
suitable material.
This covering is gathered over the top of the stopper and tightly secured by a wire
or cord C. The folded portion of the fabric above the stopper forms a handle which
may be conveniently grasped and the cork readily withdrawn from the bottle without
a cork-screw and without injury to the cork. In some cases the handle portion D, of
the fabric will be made quite short as in figures 3 and 4, while in others it will be
made of considerable length as in figures 1, 2 and 5, adapting it to be folded down
over the neck of the bottle E, and tied by a cord or wire F, thus forming a perfect
covering for the cork and neck, in other words a cap to protect the cork and neck.

page_text: 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-
1. As an improved article of manufacture, a stopper comprising a cork A, and a
covering B, of fabric, animal or rubber tissue, secured by a cord C, above the cork
and extended to form the handle or grasp D, for withdrawing the cork, substantially
as described.
2. The cork having a covering of fabric, animal or rubber tissue, secured to it and
adapted to be turned down over the neck of a bottle, and secured to the neck for
protecting the cork and neck, substantially as described.

page_text: I, RICHARD SLOANE RICHARDS, of 3 Mileage Station, Westbourne Park Road, in
the County of Middlesex, Coal Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 use in furnaces of perforated plates of a special
construction in place of the fire-bars ordinarily used and is designed as an improve-
ment on those plates described in Hall's specification No. 2381 A.D. 1888, the
construction being such that the clinker will spread over the surface and thus form
a covering which will protect the plate against the heat of the furnace.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a plan of a portion of a plate constructed according to this invention and
Fig. 2 is a section of the same on the line Y Z.
A is the solid portion of the plate which is composed of metal, fire-clay or other
suitable material. B are the conical holes through which the air enters the furnace.
The upper surface of the plate A is recessed between the holes B in the manner
shown at C so as to leave the upper ends 6 of the said holes projecting up above
the level a of the plate proper each hole being surrounded by a rim or nozzle D
having preferably an easy curve from the upper level of the top of the hole B to
the lower level a of the surface of the plate or bottom of the recess C as shown more
clearly in Fig. 2.
ད
By this construction of furnace plate it is found that the clinker forms on the
surface of the plate at C thus forming a protective covering for the plate against the
intense heat of the furnace and leaving the holes B clear for the free passage of air
through them.
If desired the holes B instead of being conical as shown in the drawings may be
parallel throughout their length.
Although in forming these plates the usual course would no doubt be to mould
or cast them complete I wish it to be understood that if desired the nozzles may be
made separate from the rest of the plate and secured in any convenient manner.
En

page_text: I sometimes construct the plates with nozzles on both sides so that when one side
becomes damaged the plate may be turned over to present the other side to the
furnace.
The rims or nozzles D though preferably circular may be made of any desired
shape.
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. In a furnace grate provided with air holes the employment of rims or nozzles
such as D whereby the delivery ends of the air holes are raised above the level of
the surrounding plate substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
2. A reversible furnace grate provided on each side with rims or nozzles surrounding
air holes substantially as herein described.

Improvements in Hair Pins.
I GEORGE WILLIAM YOUNG of The Wash Hertford in the County of Herts, Hair
Dresser, 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:
The object of my invention is to manufacture hair pins in an improved manner.
My improved hair pins are formed with two or more prongs.
When formed with two prongs only, the head is bent to a semicircle in the usual
manner. Corrugations or bends are formed in the prongs, such corrugations being at
right angles to the bend forming the head. These corrugations or bends in the prongs
are made in reverse directions that is to say, the corrugations or bends formed in the
prong on one side are made to take reverse directions to the corresponding corrugations
or bends made in the other prong.
When formed with three prongs, the middle prong is curved in a reverse, direction
to the outer prongs, the curves of which may tally with each other.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the improved hair pin; and Fig. 2 is a side view of
the same.
a is the head of the pin. bb are the bends in one of the legs, and c c are those formed
in the other; the reversed positions of the bends being clearly shown in Fig. 2.
When the pins are made with three or more prongs, the bends are reversed in an
analogous manner to that above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I would have it understood that
I am aware that hair pins have been heretofore made by myself and others with
corrugations formed in various ways but differing in form and character from those
above described, and that I do not broadly claim such corrugations; and I declare
that what I claim is :-
The manufacture & use of hair pins, the prongs of which are curved or corrugated
in directions at right angles to the bend of the head, and also in reverse directions to
each other, substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.

WE, AUGUST BUTSCHER and MAX FINZEL both of Chemnitz, in the Empire of
Germany Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
This invention relates to wheels for vehicles, more particularly perambulators,
bicycles and such like and has for its purpose to allow the springs hitherto used in
these vehicles to be dispensed with and the weight carried to bear direct on the axles,
thereby obtaining the same elasticity of bearing and movement as with the wheels
and intermediate bearing springs hitherto employed.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Figs. 1 and 4 are elevation and plan respectively of the improved wheel.
Figs. 2 and 3 represent the same as applied respectively to tricycles and
parambulators.
The construction of the improved wheel is very simple. Three or more spirals B, C, D,
of steel spring wire are placed round the nave A and carry at their other extremities
the tyre E. The more or less spiral shape of the spokes B C D ensures such a quiet
and uniform elastic effect as to render any intermediate springs completely superfluous
and allow the body of the vehicle to be rigidly connected with its axles.
The experiments made with wheels of the improved construction have been attended
with the best possible results, and it is obvious that the nature of their construction and
relation to the body of the vehicle admits of the application of larger wheels without
necessitating the vehicles proper to be built too high."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
Elastic wheels for vehicles, for instance parambulators bicycles, tricycles, consisting
of a nave, a suitable number of spiral steel spring wires placed round the same and a
tyre connected with the other extremities of said wires or spokes, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in the Construction of Boats."
I, WILLIAM HESLOP, of 91 Bruce Street, New Wortley, Leeds in the County of
York, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvements have reference to the construction of ship's boats and others of a
like construction.
In my invention I construct boats out of one metal plate which is pressed into the
desired form by suitable machinery, forming thereby not only the keel but also the
shell of the boat; or the boat may be pressed out of one plate and the keel joined up
to it.
By the above construction of seamless boats, such boats are made suitable for any
climate, are much stronger and the great danger of leakage from changes of
temperature and other causes are obviated. .

Improvements in the Construction of Boats.
I, WILLIAM HESLOP of 91 Bruce Street, New Wortley, Leeds in the County of
York, Engineer 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 improvements have reference to the construction of boats and my invention
will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a transverse section, and Fig. 2 is a plan of a boat shewing my improve
ments as hereinafter described and referred to.
According to my invention I construct boats out of one metal plate say of
mild steel cut roughly to form, such plate being heated to a suitable temperature
and pressed into the desired form by suitable machinery such as that hereafter referred
to, forming thereby not only the keel A but also the shell B stern C and bow or
stem of the boat, or the boat may be pressed out of one plate and the keel joined
up to it. The pressure on the plates to shape them to the form required may be
conveniently obtained by male and female dies, the said dies being so arranged as
gradually and by successive operations to impart the required shape to the boat as the
male die enters the female die with the plate to be shaped between them. The shape
of the dies must be regulated to suit the shape or size of boat required to be produced.
Boats constructed according to my invention are made without any seam and they
are suitable for any climate, they are much stronger than boats of ordinary con-
struction, and the great danger of leakage from changes of temperature and other
causes is obviated.
By my invention I am enabled to produce a complete boat having stem and stern
formed from one sheet of metal.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I. declare that what I
claim is
The method of constructing boats with stem and stern without seams, pressed out
of one sheet of metal, as set forth.

RICHARD ALFRED HYDE 1 Paulet Road Camberwell S.E., Manufacturer of Birds
Foods 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 :-
Birds in their wild state scratch for particles of stones or other sharp hard
substances in order to grind or masticate their food.
When in captivity they often suffer & die for want of this.
The Tonic Grit set forth by me prepared from rough hard iron stone has a sharp
roughness that will ensure complete mastication better than ordinary flint stones.
Besides the tonic properties contained in the iron stone will create health & vigour
& encourage assimilation.
The form of ironstone employed is a kind of Sand Ironstone of a dark brown colour
being veins or thin strata running through some of the sand pits it is very hard &
brittle.
It is prepared hy being crushed into sizes suitable for different kinds of birds, viz.
Cage birds about an
of inch
Pigeons
"
"
Poultry
"

"
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
The sharp hard roughness of the Ironstone ensuring more complete & easy
mastication and its tonic properties for creating health vigour & assimilation in birds.

Improved Strainer for Tea Pots.
I, CHARLES ADAMS, Grocer, of Castle Street, Saffron Walden, Essex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the samo is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,
reference being also had to the drawings accompanying my Provisional Specification :-
My Invention relates to an improved strainer for Tea Pots and the like. Said
strainer being of a configuration to allow of same fitting Tea Pots of any shape or
design-It consists of a perforated metal plate shown detached in Figure 1 and in
position in a Tea Pot in figure 2. It forms an essential feature distinctive of my
Invention that the strainer is bent as shown at A. D so as to allow of the tea leaves
collecting and becoming concentrated underneath the shouldered or " benched "
part A at lower end of the strainer; thus preventing the fouling or choking at
the main portion S of strainer, and thereby ensuring the free and unimpeded passage
of the tea infusion through the perforations of the strainer to the delivery spout.
The portion shouldered on "benched "A. D at bottom of strainer would be preferably
moulded when making the strainer, so as to be in one therewith. Or it may be
soldered or riveted on after making and the same means would be employed for.
securing the strainer, at the base M to the tea pot. The bend A' at top of strainer
serves not only as a finish thereto, but also as a preventative means against the
contingency which might arise from stray tea leaves fouling, the main portion S
of strainer.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The improved strainer for tea pots and the like having the bottom part A. D
formed so as to ensure a space being left for the reception of the tea leaves
substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Improvements relating to the Boxing of Folded Circulars or the
like for Distribution.
I JULES TINIDRE of 31 Boulevard Henri IV Paris in the Republic of France,
Engineer, 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 method of boxing or enclosing folded circulars or the
like by which each circular as it is withdrawn brings the next circular into a similar
position for withdrawal, the improvements consist in the construction of the box
whereby the method is rendered applicable to circulars folded into two leaves only
that is to say having but one fold or crease as well as to circulars etc., folded in any
number of alternate folds.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 illustrates a box for
containing the pile of folded circulars, the method of stacking the said circulars being
shown in Fig. as applied to two leaved circulars.
The improvement consists in placing the slit A from which the circulars are to be
withdrawn at or near to the middle of the base or bottom board B of the box, instead
of placing the same at the front or other edge thereof as formerly.
Having the slit A in the position shown in Fig. 1 enables the upper fold or leaf of
each circular to draw down with it when it is withdrawn, the last or under leaf of tho
circular next above whether the latter is folded to the front or to the rear.
The circulars, whatever the number of folds may therefore be stacked with the
uppermost leaf engaging with the undermost leaf of the circular next above.
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 improved method of boxing circulars and the like for distribution, consisting
in folding said circulars into two leaves or into an even number of leaves as set forth,
stacking the same, whereby the one end leaf of each circular engages with the end
leaf of the circular next thereto and boxing same in a suitable box having a cross
slot A at or near the centre of the bottom or other wall thereof against which the end
circular rests its end leaf projecting from said slot.
2. The improved box for containing circulars having a cross slot A at or near the
centre of the bottom thereof for the purpose set forth.

Improvement in Safety Pins and Curtain Hooks.
I, O'DONNELL GRIMSHAW, of Belfast, in the County of Antrim, Ireland, Insurance
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 :-
The object of this Invention is to prevent the pin or hook from becoming un-
fastened when in use, this object I attain by constructing the pin or hook with a guard
which is capable of being moved so as to cover the point of the pin or hook and
the catch thereof and secure the said pin or hook from accidently unfastening.
The Guard a I propose to form of any suitable material such as a metal wire spiral
as shewn in Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing sliding on the pin or
I may form a screw thread on the pin in which case the guard a forms a nut or the
spiral guard may be made to act as a nut by placing a slight projecting piece b
(Figure 1) attached to the pin.
Figure 3 shews a form of pin in which the spiral wire guard acts as a screw and is
caused to traverse by rotating the same. Figures 4 and 5 shew modifications of the
above the piece b (Figure 5) prevents the spiral from getting out of place.
:
In pins constructed as shewn in Figures 3 and 4 I may cut a screw thread in the
projecting portion of the pin and form the guard of a piece of tubing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declaro that what I
claim is:-
1. In safety pins and curtain hooks the use of a moveable guard for the purpose
specified.
2. The improved safety pin shewn at Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing
substantially as described.
3. The modification of the same shown at Figures 3, 4, and 5 of the accompanying
drawing substantially as described.
