Improvements in Leather Manufactured from the Intestinal Coat of
Animals and in Gloves Made from such Leather.
I, BRUNO TRENCKMANN, of No. 1D, Burgstrasse, Berlin, C., in the German
Empire, 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 present invention has reference to the manufacture of leather from the
external mucous membrane of the intestines of animals, and to the use of such
leather especially for making gloves.
The intestinal coat is converted into leather by the process ordinarily employed
in tanning and currying hides by means of vegetable, mineral and fatty matters.
The leather thus manufactured from the intestinal coat after being bleached, has
the appearance of ordinary tanned glove leather. It is however of very different
character being imporous and therefore impervious, and especially when in a
moist condition preserves its skinlike impermiability and the property just
mentioned, render it peculiarly suited for the manufacture of gloves, those
whose occupations render it necessary to effectively protect the hands against
infectious matter, whilst permitting free movement and not interfering with the
sense of touch. For the surgeon the fact the glove manufactured from the
intestinal coat, after being dipped in a solution of formalin, can be cleaned and
disenfected by boiling is a matter of the greatest importance.
Leather manufactured from the intestinal coat as above described can be used
for the most various industrial and artistic purposes. It will in most cases
be found to be an exceedingly cheap and appropriate substitute for ordinary
hide leather for silk, for ornamental paper, and the like being admirably adapted
for being dyed in various colours.
my said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A leather manufactured from the intestinal mucous membrane of animals
by means of vegetable, mineral or fatty matters, according to the methods
ordinarily employed in tanning and currying hides, substantially as hereinbefore
set forth.
2. A glove made from leather as claimed in Claim 1, which when in a moist
condition lies close to the skin of the hand, effectually protecting the latter
against the penetration of infectious and other matter, whilst not interfering
with the free movement of the hand nor sense of touch, substantially as herein-
before set forth.

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Preparation and Process for Varnishing Aluminium
and other Metals.
I, OTTO PAUL NAUHARDT, of 18, Boulevard Magenta, Paris, in the Republic
of France, Civil Engineer, 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:-
This invention has for its object a method for the preparation and use of a
special varnish for aluminium, this varnish being characterized from others, and
from paints such as have been suggested for protecting the metallic surface of
aluminium, which is subject to alterations, by its great adhesive strength and by
its inalterability.
To prepare this new varnish 100 parts by weight of gum lac are dissolved-
preferably in an enamelled vessel-in 300 parts by weight of liquid ammonia; the
mixture is heated on a water bath for one hour or thereabouts after which the
varnish is ready for use. The aluminium to be covered over by this varnish is
carefully cleaned in potash and is allowed to dry, preferably with the aid of heat,
and after having been coated or painted on its surface or surfaces with this
varnish it is placed in a drying oven wherein it is heated for some time to a suitable
temperature (about 300° C.). Although being particularly destined to cover over
the aluminium article with a layer which is unalterable and cannot be acted upon
by climatic changes, water, and the like, this varnish may be likewise usefully
employed for other metals.
After having covered the aluminium objects, plates, and the like, or those of
other metals, with a layer of this new protective varnish, it may be painted,
varnished, &c., without the fear of blistering or cracking.
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 or method for the preparation of a protective varnish for
aluminium consistng in dissolving 100 parts by weight of gum lac in 300 parts by

page_text: weight of liquid ammonia, this solution being heated in a water bath during
one hour or thereabouts, substantially as described.
2. The method of using the new varnish consisting in the application of this
varnish to the aluminium, previously cleaned in potash and dried with the aid
of heat, and in heating the aluminium thus coated in an oven at a suitable
temperature of about 300° C., substantially as described.

I, MAX MIRUS, of 7, Unter Fettenhennen, Cologne, Germany, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in waist bands or belts, particularly
those for ladies' wear and the object is to provide means for manufacturing
such articles in quantities and in such manner that they can be easily adapted
to the figures of individual wearers. In carrying my invention into effect I
proceed in or in about the following manner, making reference to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings in which Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views of my
improved belts or waist bands, and Fig. 3 a view of the improved belt in use.
The belt is composed of two strips, a and b of cloth, linen, leather or other
suitable materials, sewed together in such manner as to form two rings of some-
what conical shape. These rings are either firmly connected together directly
as at Fig. 1 or by an intermediate band c as at Fig. 2, the result being a belt
having less diameter at the centre of its length than at its upper and lower
edges. The ends of the belt are fastened together by buckles d and elastics c
or by any other suitable means which will ensure a proper fitting of the belt
to the wearer's figure. The waist-band or belt may be covered in any proper
manner which will hide the seams and the materials of which the article is
made, and this cover may if desired be made long enough to hide also the buckle
or other fastening.
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. Waist-bands or belts formed by attaching together two strips of linen or
other pliable material in such manner that the resulting belt shall have a less
diameter at the centre of its width than at its upper and lower edges, the said
belt being furnished with buckles and elastics or other means for retaining the
article round the wearer's waist and with a cover to hide the construction of the
said belt, the whole substantially as described in the above specification and
exemplified in the accompanying drawings.
2. A modification of the band or belt which is the subject matter of the above
Claim 1 wherein the two strips of material are attached by one of their edges
to the upper and lower edges of an intermediate strip of material, the whole
substantially as described in the above specification and exemplified in the
accompanying drawings.
3. Waist-bands or belts made substantially as described in the above specifi-
cation and exemplified in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Mandolines.
I, ALBAN VOIGT, Importer, of 14, Edmund Place, in the City of London, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in mandolines and has for its object
to render the tone of the same clearer and more powerful by enabling the body
to vibrate more freely than is the case in instruments of this kind as heretofore
constructed.
In mandolines the finger board extends from the upper part of the neck, near
to the scroll, to about the middle of the sound hole in the body, and it has
hitherto been usual to glue, or otherwise fasten down the fingerboard throughout
its length.
According to the present invention however I only fasten that part of the finger
board that is over the neck of the instrument, the part over the body or sound
board being unsupported, or supported at a single point only. This construction
leaves the sound board free to vibrate without interference from the finger board.
The accompanying drawing represents a mandoline embodying this invention.
A is the neck, B, is the body, C is the finger board, D, are the strings. It will
be seen that the finger board does not touch the body B but simply projects
over it although it is secured on the neck A. At the fingerboard may be sup-
ported by a block resting on the body. The other parts being of the usual con-
struction call for no description.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
A mandoline the finger board whereof is so arranged as not to interfere with
the vibration of the body of the instrument, substantially as set forth and illus-
trated in the drawing.

The improvements relate to the two pin type of plug.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a section of the disc with the two vertical split contact pins,
Fig. 2, is a elevation of the wall plug.
Fig. 3, is a section on line A-B.
Fig. 4, is a plan of the underside of the disc with the two split contact pins in
section.
Fig. 5, is a plan of the top.
Fig. 6 is a plan of the underside of the cap.
A disc a of suitable insulating material is used and in this are provided holes b for
fixing it to an insulting cap, and also holes c for the contact pins to pass through to
be fitted with suitable terminals e.
This disc a carrying the contact pins & and terininals e is then fixed to a cap f of
insulating material such as porcelain, wood, etc., by screws g in the usual manner.
This insulating cap fis provided with cavities which allow the terminalse attached
to the disc a to be properly covered.
A centre hole i for the twin flexible wire, is provided in the top of the cap f and
from the bottom of this hole pass two slanting holes j through the body of the cap,
conveying the individual wires to the under surface of the cap f. On this under
surface two grooves are provided along which the wires are laid and so brought to
the terminal cavities, for connection to the terminals e attached to the disc a.
The wires laying in their separate grooves are well separated from each other and
these grooves are of such depth that when the dise re is fixed to the under surface
of the cap by the fixing screws, the two flexible wires are effectively clamped in
their respective grooves k by it and a satisfactory cord grip is the result, in addition
to that obtained by the wires in their slanting holes and passing over the edges
of the grooves on the under surface of the insulating cap f
Owing to the length of wire used in wiring the plug, all objectionable frayed ends
can be effectively hidden and a neater article is the result, the process of wiring up is
greatly simplified as in Fig 1.

page_text: 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 :-
The wall plug for electric lighting and heating, substantially as above described in

I, SAMUEL FARRANT, of North Street House, Taunton, in the County of Somerset,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:
This invention relates to leggings and more especially to that kind used for
horse riding.
It has been found that leggings turn out of position when riding, due princi-
pally to the friction between the leggings and the horse, and to other causes; and
it is the object of this invention to obviate the inconvenience referred to.
The figure in the drawing hereunto attached represents the inner side of a
legging with my device applied thereto.
In the drawing A refers to the legging and B to a tag adapted to be secured
onto a button on the breeches to prevent the legging from sagging.
My invention consists in the attachment to the legging of the tag C to the
forward end of which is secured the supplementary tag D, preferably formed of
gut. Although I have shewn and described the tag as consisting of two parts,
yet it will be understood that it may be of one piece, either of leather, gut or other
suitable substance.
When the legging is in place the tag D is fastened onto the button of the
breeches before the attachment thereto of the tag B.
It will be understood that inasmuch as the tendency of the legging is to turn
in a direction opposite to that in which the free end of the tag projects that turn-
ing of the legging will be prevented.
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) A legging provided with means, substantially as described, for preventing
the same from turning when being worn.
(2) A legging provided with a tag adapted for attachment to the button on
the breeches of the wearer to prevent the legging from turning, substantially as
hereinbefore described.

hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved means for advertising on windows or on
glass.
In the case of a shop window for example the letters of the words of an advertise-
ment; or it may be a design; are cut out from paper or other material. They are
then made to adhere to the glass by means of gum or the like; but I prefer to
use a mixture of one part gum to eight parts of water.
A cut out border may
be similarly applied to the glass. The whole is now painted over the whiting.
When the cut out letters become dry they are peeled off, leaving clear glass;
the same with regard to the bordering. I prefer to use common whiting mixed
with sweet milk.

figuring the said material, which may be further embellished by working into
or on to them gilt, beads, pearls, spangles, brilliants, gems, or imitation brilliants
or gems or the like.

A New or Improved Drawing or Copying Slate.
I, ROBERT ERSKINE FRASER, at present residing at 40, Cumberland Street,
Edinburgh, in the County of Midlothian, Scotland, Gentleman, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention to be as follows: —
My invention relates to a new or improved drawing slate which offers certain
practical advantages.
It has been customary in the past to make the usual well known copying or
drawings slate of a sheet of ground glass upon which the pictures could be
traced by means of a lead pencil. Such slates had this disadvantage that they
were easily broken.
In my invention I employ a sheet of thin transparent or translucent celluloid
in place of the ground glass previously used. The outer or drawings surface
of this transparent celluloid is roughened and it will be found that such a
medium is well adapted for drawing upon with a lead pencil; it has also the
advantage that the drawings can be completely and easily obliterated from the
surface thereof.
As celluloid can be had in very thin sheets it is found that the drawings
can be more accurately traced and the unbreakable nature of my slate is a
great advantage when it is considered that such articles are chiefly used by
children.

Improved Dust Shields for the Corners of Stairs and other Places.
I, FRED WATSON, of The Heath, Knutsford, in the County of Chester, Gentle-
man, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
-
It is well known that the corners or angles formed at the juncture of the
treads with the vertical fronts and sides collect dust and dirt which is trouble-
some or difficult to remove.
This invention is designed to provide a shield or cover for such corners to
prevent dirt or dust collecting therein, and thus facilitate the cleaning of the
stairs.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. Front view of the shield.
Fig. 2. Transverse section of same.
Fig. 3. View of stairs showing shield in position. The shield or cover con-
sists essentially of a triangular piece A which is fitted into the corner of the
stairs or other corners of rooms or the like.
The shield or cover A is stamped or cut out of thin sheet metal such as tinned
iron, brass, steel, or out of other suitable material, and is preferably shaped or
curved inwards as shewn in Fig. 2, so as to be concave on the outer side.
A hole is made in the centre to receive a nail B or a screw or other device
for securing it in position. Or pin holes may be made near the points or near
the edges to receive pins or tacks to secure the shield in position.
The shield may be painted any desired colour but is preferably painted to
match or correspond with the paint on the stairs to which it is applied and can
be painted from time to time with the stairs.
I prefer to use a flat-headed nail B as shewn, but a nail with brass or orna-
mental head may be employed if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-:
A shield for the corners of stairs or other places comprising a triangular piece
of sheet metal or other material concave on the outer side substantially as
