An Improvement in Side Saddles.
1 HENRY STAINES WILTON, Saddler of 457 and 459 Oxford Street in the
County of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvement consists in removing what is called the safe or near side fore
5 part of the flap in a vertical line from the front of the near side head of the saddle
downwards, and sufficiently thickening the stuffing of the pannel where the safe is
so removed.

I HENRY STAINES WILTON Saddler of 457 and 459 Oxford Street London
in the County of Middlesex 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 side saddles as hitherto made, it has been customary to continue the leather
safe, or near side flap, to the front of the side saddle, over which the riders leg
from the knee downwards rests, the object of this improvement is to bring the
riders leg closer to the horse, and to add to her comfort, by substituting the stuffed
pancel, for the more rigid leather of the fore part of the safe.
This improvement refers more particularly to what is known as the cut back
saddle (a saddle in which the arch or puminel over the withers is removed) and is
carried into effect in the following manner, better shown in the drawings annexed,
in which Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a side view of the improved saddle, it will
be seen that the safe B Fig. 2 is removed, from the near side head C downwards to
the bottom, the portion of more rigid leather being replaced by a forward extention
of the pannel or softer stuffed lining of the saddle at D.
The removal of this fore part of the safe of the saddle severs as it were the
connection between it, and the wither flap E Fig. 1, which covers the opening over
the withers at A, rendering it necessary to make this wither flap E, a part or
continuation of the near head C, which is combined with the extra grip piece F
(previously patented No. 15215") where such is used, thus making the three
parts EC & F practically one piece, the one a continuation of the other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I wish it to be understood
--

page_text: that I do not claim any formation for bringing the rider's leg nearer to the horse in
which the safe is carried to the front or in which the wither flap forms part of the
same but I declare that what I claim is:
The cutting away or removal of the fore part of the safe of the saddle and the
consequent attachment of the wither flap to the near head or the extention of the
base of the near head to form the wither flap.

vertically. At the front part of the chair the two feet A A are pivoted near their
centre on to the rail B. At the back part of the chair the feet A A are pivoted
at their top part on to the back rail B.
The two feet A A in the front are connected together above the rail B by &
cross rail C. The two feet A A at the back of the chair are also connected by a
cross rail C but below the rail B.
A stretcher or stretchers marked K K are pivoted on to the cross rails CC from
the front to the back of the chair having a slot in each marked O to take the cross
rail L which prevents the stretchers extending too far, the slot O being covered
with a metal plate to keep the stretcher in position.
Thus by pushing the rail C in the front of the chair towards the back part of

Combined Pump and Swing.
I, REINHOLD STAFFEN of Stetzsch near Dresden, in the German Empire,
Garden Proprietor, 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 object to provide an apparatus for rendering unnecessary
the present troublesome practice of specially pumping water for watering gardens.
The apparatus is more especially designed to be used in the gardens of villas and
smaller residences. It consists in the combination of a pump with a swing the
latter being carried by rods on a crank shaft by which the pump is worked so that
when the swing is used for recreation this will be combined with utility inasmuch
as the oscillation of the swing will cause the pump to work. The water thus
delivered may be run into one or more storage vessels ready for use.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view of the apparatus. Fig. 2 a side view.
Figs. 3 and 4 views of details drawn to a larger scale.
a is the pump, 6 the swing, c the crank shaft carried in bearings d respectively
on the pump and on an upright e. fare four rods by which the seat of the swing
is carried from the crank shaft c, the rods by eyes 9 being firmly fixed to the latter
so that when the swing is in oscillation the crank shaft will be turned round through
a certain distance and work the pump from crank h. If desired the swing may be
weighted for the purpose of overcoming the resistance due to the ascent of the
pump piston.
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 general construction and arrangement of a combined garden pump and swing,
for the purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.

An Improved Cosmetic Lotion.
I, GUSTAV KOHN, of 7 Rothen-Sterngasse, Vienna II, in the Empire of
Austria, Doctor of Medicine, 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 a cosmetic lotion consisting of a liquid which holds the
active substances in suspension. This lotion is produced in the manner hereinafter
set forth.
1000 parts by weight of levigated Venetian talc or isinglass-stone are well mixed
with about 250 parts of pure zinc oxide and about 150 parts of rice flour, triturated
and bolted. With the fine powder resembling flour dust I half fill receptacles and then
pour in distilled water until they are almost full. After thoroughly shaking the
contents of the receptacles I add thereto for a volume of about 100 cubic centi-
meters 30 drops of a tincture of benzoin, 2 grammes of rose-water and any desired
perfume.
For the purpose of obviating the filling of the lotion into separate bottles or
receptacles it is expedient to prepare the liquid directly in the bottles or receptacles
wherein it is to be sold.
In use the cosmetic lotion produced in the above-described manner is poured after it
has been previously shaken upon a fine sponge, and is applied by it to the body.
After the drying, which takes place rapidly, the parts of the body to which the
lotion has been applied are wiped with a fine cloth.
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 cosmetic lotion, consisting of a mixture, suspended in water, of Venetian talc
or isinglass-stone, zinc oxide and rice flour, with an addition of a tincture of benzoin,
rose-water and any desired perfume, substantially as described.

Improvements in Means for Attaching Labels to Parcels and other
Articles.
I WILLIAM TANK BURALL Grocer of 26, Market Place, Wisbech, Cambridge-
shire, 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 improved means for attaching address and other
labels to parcels and the like, and is intended to provide an arrangement by which
they can be more readily attached than by the ordinary method of tying or of
fixing by gum.
According to my invention at the top of the label is fixed a spring hook, which
can be hooked onto a string or other convenient part, and which will retain the
label securely, the string being prevented from slipping out by the spring tongue.
According to a convenient arrangement, the hook is formed of a small strip of
resilient metal, passed through the end of the label, (which is doubled over in the
usual manner) and bent round to form the spring hook. An eyelet may also be
employed for fixing purposes, or I may construct the hook of bent wire.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is bad to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a front and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the label and hook, and Fig. 3 is
a view of a modified form of hook.
A is the label folded over at the upper part a in the usual manner to give a
greater thickness and strength to that part. The spring hook B is fitted to the
doubled part, and as shown in Figs. 1 & 2 is formed of one strip of metal passed
through the material of the label and bent over into the required form. The
eyelet b may be used to fix the hook instead of passing the hook itself through the
label, or in addition to that fixing. This form of hook can also allow the label to
be firmly fixed to a basket, the upper part of the hook being bent straight and
passed over a part of the wicker-work, and then bent back to its original position.
The hook B shown in Fig. 3 is formed from bent wire, having the same form in
side elevation as that shown in Figs. 1 & 2.
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 label for attachment to parcels and the like, provided with a spring hook
fixed to it and forming a connection for the label substantially as described.
(2.) A label for attachment to parcels and the like, having a spring hook fixed
to it, formed from a small strip of metal passed through the label and bent into the
required forms substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(3.) The improved label and spring hook attachment constructed substantially in
the manner described and shown in the accompanying drawings and for the purposes
specified.

Improved Last for Boots or Shoes.
A communication by EMIL AHRENS, of 40, Kronprinzenstrasse, Halle-on-Saale,
in the Empire of Germany, Traveller.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, 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 :-
The lasts hitherto employed have the drawback that in removing them from the
completed shoe, the narrow fastening part at the ankles, is stretched and even
frequently damaged. This drawback is avoided by the use of the last in three
parts which forms the object of this invention.
On the accompanying drawing-
Figure 1 shows the last put together;
Figure 2 the last with the wedge piece removed;
Figure 3 the three separate parts of the last ;
Figure 4 the last fitted together on the stand.
and
The last forming the object of this invention consists of three parts, namely, the
front foot (or toe piece) c, the heel piece b which is divided from the toe piece by a
simple sectional line and the wedge piece a. In the toe piece c there is screwed
a pin g which is bent at the top into the form of a hook. The heel piece has on its
top a metallic plate e which is provided with an opening o for the hook
which plate rests in a recess in the toe piece. The wedge piece a has a groove m,
the end of which is of the same shape as the hook g, the heel piece has a hole f
bored in it for the spike d of the stand, Figure 4. When the last is fitted together,
the plate e of the heel piece has its hole o pushed through over the hook g, Figure 2,
so that the toe piece is thus firmly connected with the heel piece. The wedge
piece a is then placed on the toe and heel pieces in such a way that the groove m
fits on the hook g, and the wedge piece is pushed forward, Figure 1. The last when
fitted together forms on the stand s, a solid whole, and any kind of shoe work can
be done on the same.
When withdrawing the last, the wedge piece a is first taken out, then the heel
piece b, and, finally, the toe piece c, and thus any stretching of the top of the shoe
or boot is impossible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is-
An improved last for boots or shoes divided into three parts, characterised by
the front or toe piece c being connected with the heel piece b, which has a plate e,
and also with a wedge piece a which has a groove m, by means of a hook g attached
to such toe piece, the whole being further strengthened by means of the stand 8.

Improvements in Shaft Couplings.
1, ARNOLD GOODWIN the Younger, of 56 Summer Street, Southwark, in the
County of London. 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:-
According to this invention a coupling for securing together the juxtaposed ends.
of two lengths of shafting is constructed as I will now explain with reference to the
accompanying illustrative drawings in which
Figs. 1 and 2 shew central longitudinal sections at right angles to one another of
a coupling constructed according to this invention, the shaft gripping part to the
left hand being shewn in full in each figure; and
Figs. 3 and 4 shew respectively an end elevation and a side elevation of the
same.
This improved coupling comprises two gripping portions 1, 1 each resembling a
split sleeve with flanges or lugs 2, 2 at the respective sides of the slit 1 and a
surrounding casing or cover 3 cast with the said gripping portions; there are holes
in each flange or lug through which pass bolts 4 having nuts by means of which
the said gripping parts may be caused to firmly grip the ends of the lengths of
shafting to be coupled as will be readily understood. The casing or cover 3, which
is cylindrical, has a door 5 hinged thereto at 6 and secured in its closed position by
means of screws 7. The door is flush with the exterior of the casing 3.
Figs. 5 and 6 are respectively end and side views of a modification in which the
door 5 is entirely removable from the cover, being secured thereto by means of
screws near both edges as at 7, 7. The split gripping parts act independently of
each other in gripping the respective shafts so that each will adapt itself to its
respective shaft end as well understood. In my improved couplings the tightening
devices are readily accessible and there are no projecting portions that are likely
to catch in the clothes of a workman.
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 I do not claim
broadly the making of a shaft coupling with gripping parts each adapted to
separately grip a length of shafting so that juxtaposed lengths of shafting of
different diameters can be coupled together but what I do claim is:
1. A shaft coupling of the kind referred to having separately acting gripping
parts such as described in combination with a cover 2 provided with a hinged or
removable door 5 as described.
2. My improved shaft coupling as shewn in and described with reference to
Fig. 1 to 4 inclusive of the accompanying drawings; or modified according to
Fios. 5 and 6

Improvements in Pipes for Smoking Tobacco.
We HENRY WATSON of 17, Lilyhill Terrace, Edinburgh Mechanical Engineer,
and FRANK ROBERTS of 1, Scone Gardens, Parsons Green, Edinburgh, Super-
intendent. Singer Manufacturing Company 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 a pipe for smoking tobacco, and it has mainly for its
object so to construct the pipe that little or no moisture is carried to the mouth-
piece, and with a view of drying up the said moisture by the heat generated in
the bowl of pipe, while being smoked, and that the parts can be easily cleaned.
And in order that the said invention may be properly understood, we append the
accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of pipe, designed according to our invention.
Figure II is a plan of bowl, and
Figure III is a plan of removable plug or tube.
A pipe bowl A having a channel B at or near its bottom, leading into a vertical
passage C formed in wall of bowl, preferably at back, terminating near the top of
said bowl.
A plug or tube D is screwed or otherwise secured into said passage, allowing
sufficient space for smoke to pass freely upwards, thence over the top and down
into the said plug or tube, then by way of a cross-passage E formed near the base
of said plug or tube, into stem F of pipe.
The said plug has an enlarged base, and is so jointed that the smoke can only
pass by aforesaid passages.
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 :-
I. A tobacco pipe made substantially as herebefore described to the drawings
annexed.
II. In a tobacco pipe, the application and use of a plug or tube, reaching near
the top of a channel provided in the wall of the bowl, substantially as, and for the
advantages set forth."

Improvements in Screw and other Eyes and Loops.
I, SAMUEL HUBBARD JAMES of 3 Douglas Villas Streatham Common London
Civil 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 :-
The object of this invention is to make the eye of such a form & inclination so
that the strain caused by the tension of a rope string, wire, chain or rod shall
automatically come upon a fixed point in the centre line of the eye, at the apex of
the angle or triangle of the eye, thus avoiding any tendency to twist, warp or
unfairly strain the articles supported.
By reference to the drawings it will be seen that Figs. 1 & 2 shew the eye of
say a mast or yard hoop & Fig. 7 one application thereof, Figs. 3 & 4 shew the
eye of a screw bolt or rivet & Fig. 8 shews its application to a common bag.
Figs. 5 & 6 shew the eye of an angle iron bracket & Fig. 9 shews one of its
applications, the different uses to which the several form can be put are of course
numerous.
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
An angular or triangular formed eye or loop inclined towards the direction of
the pull or strain substantially as described & shewn.

Improvements in Sash Frames and Pivoted Sliding Sashes.
I GEORGE JOSIAH BODY of 19 Station Road Aldershot Carpenter and Builder
in the County of Hants 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 sash frames and sashes of windows & consists in
providing metal pieces attached to the sash frames which engage in grooves in
sliding strips attached to the pulley ropes, said strips carrying the sashes which are
pivotally attached thereto.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which :-
Figure 1 shows perspective view of a window fitted with my invention showing
windows open on pivots.
Figure 2 elevation of sliding strip.
Figure 3 end view of sash style.
Figure 4 horizontal section through sash frame and sashes constructed according
to my invention.
a are the sliding strips having grooves in which the metal plates c engage;
these plates c being attached to the sash frame beadings by screws or the like d.
Attached to the strips or parts a are two plates e by means of screws or the like f
the strips a being cut or rebated as shown in Figure 4. A plate carrying a stud
or pin g is also attached to the strip a. The sashes are also rebated and carry
metal plates el e and a plate g' is attached to the sash h, the sash h and plate g¹
being slotted at g' for the reception of the pin g. When the sashes h are suspended
in position by the pins g and slot g² they may be swung upon same and when in a
vertical position the plates e and e' lock or engage with one another and the sashes
may then be raised or lowered in the ordinary manner. It will be understood
that both sides of the window frame and sashes are similarly fitted. On one side
of each sash the pin g is screw threaded so that when the sash is turned on the
pivot pins it is secured in position by the pin tightening into the socket plate g¹.
This arrangement may be dispensed with when it is found convenient.
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. The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts substantially
as described.
2. In window frames and sashes, a sash pivotally attached to sliding strips by
means of bolts and socket plates and having metal plates which engage with
corresponding metal plates on the sliding strip, said sliding strip being attached to
the ropes carrying the weights and having grooves in which metal strips engage
