FREDERICK RUSSELL of 68, Gaisford Street Kentish Town Middlesex Merchant
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object an improved method of ornamenting glass by the
use of mica or talc (calcined and plain) whereby strength and lightness is combined
and at the same time the various tints of the glass or the design thereon can
be plainly seen without the aid of reflectors or strong lights at the back as at
present in use.
This invention consists of placing or fixing in any desired manner (but by préference
in pieces of the same size and shape as the sections of the glass composing the article)
sheets of Mica or Tale which I prefer to use in a calcined state but the mica or tale
in the plain state may be used with good effect by this method of decorating glass
screens and like articles the lines and colors of the design can be plainly seen as
though reflected through the back of the glass and at the same time without obstructing
the light.

I, FREDERICK RUSSELL of 68 Gaisford Street Kentish Town Middlesex, Mica
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 an improved method of ornamenting glass by the
use of Mica or Talc (calcined or plain) whereby the various colors or tints of the
glass or the design thereon can be plainly seen without the aid of reflectors or strong
lights at the back as at present in use.
My invention consists of placing or fixing in any desired manner, but by preference
in pieces of the same size as the section of the glass, sheets of Mica or Talc on the
glass which I prefer to use in a calcined state, but plain tale or mica can be used with
good effect.
By this method of decoration glass, windows, screens and analogous articles can be
made more effective, as the design on and color of or on the glass, are heightened in
a most brilliant manner and tints and colors are realized that would be foreign
to the designs and tints without applying the Mica or Talc and in the case
where transparency is desired will be found not to obstruct the light passing
through the glass. The Tale or Mica when placed at an angle to the light also acts as
a reflector.
The frame can be made of any material as may be most convenient or
desirable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I
claim is :-
The use or combination of Mica or Talc either calcined or plain with glass for the
purpose of ornamentation.

EDWARD NIGHTSCALES, 96 Albany Road Camberwell, Surrey, Engineer and JOHN
ILLINGWORTH, 48 Coburg Road Old. Kent Road, Surrey, Warehouseman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is applied to Barrel Tower and similar bolts and consists in providing
slots at the ends of the lugs fitted to the handle end of the frame which carries
the boli.
These slots receive the handle of the bolt after it has been placed in position and
turned thus preventing the bolt from dropping howover much it may be shaken by the
wind or otherwise.

page_text: The lugs, fitted to the handle end of the frame which carries the bolt, are slotted
(both ends) forming recesses a, a, in which the handle of the bolt rests securely when
placed in position, thus preventing the bolt from dropping however much it may be
shaken by the wind or any other agency.
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 :
Improved lugs, for Barrel; Tower, and similar-bolts, which prevent. the bolt being
moved after being placed in position (except at will) substantially as herein before
described and represented in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Bolts, Rivets, Screws, and the like.
1, THOMAS WOODHEAD, of the Firm of J. Woodhead and Sons, Westholme Street,
Bradford in the County of York, Spring and Axle Makers, 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 bolts, rivets, screws, and the like, having
round, square, hexagon, cheese shaped or other similar heads, and its object is to
strengthen the junction of the head and neck of the same without adding to the cost
of production or application.
Hitherto bolts, rivets, screws and the like have had sharp angular shoul·lers at the
junction of the head which greatly weakens that part by destroying the fibre of the metal
forming the bolt and renders the head liable to break off. To avoid the said sharp angle
bolts have been made with curved or rounded angles at the junction with the head but
as this necessitates the holes for their reception being specially prepared by counter-
sinking or rounding off their mouths such bolts are not much used.
My invention consists in forming a rounded or curved recess in the head at its
junction with the bolt, rivet, or screw, thus combining the strength of the said
rounded angle with the cheapness of production and application of the ordinary bolt,
rivet or screw.
In order to fully describe my invention reference is to be had to the accompanying
drawing forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1, represents a longitudinal section of a round headed bolt having a square
neck. Figure 2, is a similar view of the same bolt turned round forty five degrees so as
to show a diagonal section of the neck. Figure 3, is a similar view of a bolt with
a V neck. Figure 4, is a longitudinal section of a rivet. Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8
represent end views of the figures immediately above them.
A curved or rounded recess A is formed in the substance of the head B at its
junction with the reck C of the bolt, screw, or rivet 1), thus forming a rounded angle
which prevents the fibres of the metal being destroyed at the part during the formation
of the head.

page_text: "
It is obvious that the recess A may be a similar shape to the neck of the bolt, but
I preferably use an annular recess, as the counterpart of that shape is more easily
formed on the die by which such bolts are generally made. And it is also obvious that
other classes of bolts, rivets, screws or the like may be provided with such recesses.
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
olaim is:
A bolt, rivet, screw, or the like formed with a curved or rounded recess at the
junction of the head, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose
specified.

I, JAMES NEEVE TURNEY, trading as G. L. Turney, of 64, Aldermanbury, in the
City of London, Pin Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved construction of box or case for containing,
what are known as box pins, that is to say, pins in a loose state.
Hitherto such pins
have been placed in boxes of rectangular shape and the pins have got into the corners
of the boxes which frequently gave rise to difficulty in removing the pins particularly
when only a few remained in the box.
My invention has for object to do away with this inconvenience and I effect my
purpose by forming or providing the interior of the box with a curved bottom and
sides.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe how it may
be carried into effect by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a cross section, and,
Figure 2 a perspective view of a box constructed with my improvements.
a, a, a represent a box made of any suitable material such as cardboard, the lid b
being hinged to the box as shown. c is the curved piece forming the interior, bottom
and sides or bottom, front and back of the box. This curved piece forms as it were a
kind of trough and the pins by their own gravity always tend to fall into the bottom
or middle part of the trough from which they can be easily removed there being no
corners into which they can fall as in the usual construction of box.

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 :-
1. Forming the interior of boxes or cases for containing loose pins of a curved or

"
This my invention relates to a device which may be readily applied to any part of
the human body when it is necessary to use ointments, lotions, poultices, or other
medicaments, and which invention has for its object to prevent the ointment or
lotions when applied, from staining the coverings, and when used in conjunction with
poultices to hold same in place and prevent them from slipping from their original
position. A further advantage of using my invention when employed with poultices
is, that when applied, the poultice, if hot, will retain its heat for a longer period, thus
accelerating its curative effects.
My invention consists essentially of a piece of leather or fabric, which is cut to any
required size or shape.
The sheet of leather or other material thus cut to size and shape is provided with an
adhesive border consisting of diachylon or other suitable adhesive substances.
The sheets thus prepared should preferably be of a waterproof nature but it is not
an essential feature of my invention.
The manner in which my invention is applied is as follows:-
The adhesive substance around the edges of the sheet, if not self adhesive, is
slightly heated in any suitable way, or when some kinds of adhesive substance is
used, it may be moistened and the sheet placed over the ointment or poultice. If

page_text: however preferred, the ointment or poultice or other application may be laid upon
the sheet, and then pressed firmly upon the body when it will readily adhere thereto.

I, GEORGE HARRY CORBETT, of Kingswinford, in the County of Stafford, "Com-
mercial Traveller" 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 is intended to be applied principally to earthenware and metal
utensils, in domestic use, such as hot water jugs, teapots, coffee pots and the like..
My invention consists of a metal or earthenware appliance, approximating in shape
to the half of a tube, commonly termed semi-cylindrical, or of any other shape.
The object of my invention is to insert the appliance between the handle and the
body of the vessel, touching only at four or more points; so as to admit the air
freely between the appliance and the body of the vessel containing hot water or the
like; and thus keep the handle cool.
The appliance being placed between the handle and the body of the vessel, will
prevent the hand from coming in contact with the heated body of the vessel.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.

An Improved Fire lighter and the Manufacture of same.
I, EDWARD LUKE STACEY Engineer 109 Park Street Camden Town 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 construction of fire-lighter made in various

with rosin, oil, tar, or any combustible compound that may give the desired effect & a
fuse inserted for quick lighting.
In the accompanying drawing, I show the lighter in its various stages of
manufacture.
Firstly. I take 2 strips of prepared wood or any other suitable material of a size
suited to the lighter required say 5 × × which being grooved at centres (as Fig. 1.)
form together a cross as Fig. 2.
2nd. At each end of the cross I fix another grooved piece say 21" x 11"x" as
Fig. 3, which forins the representation of Fig. 4.
3rd. Between the end pieces I insert four other pieces say 21" x 1" x 3" as Fig. 5 thus
forming a complete lighter as Fig. 6.
By this form of lighter, perfect air chambers beneath the bars are obtained & quick
combustion ensured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is
First. An improved Fire-lighter consisting of a combination of bars of wood, or
material of suitable combustion.

Improvements in or relating to Lavatory Sponges.
We ADOLF KOHLER and FRANZ MARTIN both of Wilhelm Strasse 2, Stuttgart, in
the Empire of Germany, Sponge Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of our
invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention consists in certain improvements in lavatory sponges, that is to say
in sponges used for personal washing and the improvements consist principally in
combining with the sponge proper a piece of so called loofah, that is to say, the
cellular tissue of the fruit of the loofah plant, so that the same article may serve also
as a flesh rubber and as a sponge of the usual kind.
A further improvement consists in the manner of attaching the loofah whereby the
durability of the sponge is enhanced.
The piece of loofah is for this purpose preferably sewn down on to the root or base
sponge and will therefore tend to strengthen the sponge at its weakest part. A
loop of tape or the like may be sewn in for hanging up the improved sponge if
desired.

An Improved Compound for Washing and Laundry Purposes.
I WILLIAM THOMAS LAWSON of 8 St. Pauls Road, Withington, Lancashire,
Soap Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
:-
Into an enclosed vessel heated by a steam jacket or in any other convenient
manner I introduce tallow or olive or other vegetable oil, and when sufficiently
limpid I add a saturated solution of potash (preferably of wood-ash) in water until
the desired consistency is obtained. I then add the finest paraffin oil in the pro-
portion of 3 or 4 ounces to each pound of tallow and potash and run the mixture into
bars or moulds.
I thus produce a compound or paste which when cold can be put up for use or sale
as a substitute for soap and will be found specially suitable for washing and laundry
purposes.
If I desire to deodorize the hydro-carbon and to give a perfume or odour I add
sufficient oil of lavender and oil of geranium to effect such purpose.
