My invention consists in the application of cork in the manufacture of gaiters
and leggings, I am aware that cork has been applied to hats, shakoes & head gear
where lightness and firmness is required, but it has never been used for the purpose
for which I apply it.
One method I adopt is to obtain thin layers of cork and cement them to the
material intended to be used, thus obtaining an improved condition of material
better adapted for the purpose it is light warm, stiff and weather resisting obtaining
a much lighter combination with equal stiffness than any material hitherto used for
the purpose.

I, WILHELM ALEXANDER TRIES, Engineer, of Maxsain, Westerwald,
Germany, 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 improvements in bearings whereby such bearings
are adjustable in all directions perpendicularly to the axis of the shaft and
independantly of the body.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings which illustrate my
invention in the form of a vertical bearing, but, as will be seen, the same mode can
be adapted for other forms of bearings.
Figure 1., is a side view.
Figure 2., is a front view.
Figure 3., is a cross section and
Figure 4., is a longitudinal section.
b
The two bearing cheeks a, a', which may also be replaced by a box are held in
the body of the bearing 6 by four set screws c arranged at right angles one to the
other and in the same plane. The bearing cheeks or shells have projections d
arranged in diametrically opposite directions and assuming the form of spherical
segments against which the screw heads e provided with corresponding cavities are
so screwed as to allow the bearing cheeks to have a spherical or ball motion. In
order to be able to displace the bearing cheeks on all sides and independantly of
the body of the bearing whereby the bearing centre can be readily and conveniently
adjusted, the nuts f flattened on one side of the set screws c are guided in planed or
cut slots g, so that they can be displaced perpendicularly to their axis. The
securing of the set screws is obtained by the aid of the counter nuts which hold
at the same time the nuts f in their position when they are tightly screwed against
the body of the bearing. The application of a counter nut to the sole of the
bearing offers difficulties and hence the securing of the screw c in this place may be
effected by means of a clamping screw i. For hanging bearings all the set screws c
may be secured in position in the manner herein set forth by means of counter
The manipulation of these bearings will be understood from the drawings
without any further description.

as follows:-
The object of my invention is to strengthen new corset busks, and to repair and
make good the fracture in a broken pair of such busks.
My invention consists in employing strips made of steel or suitable material,
which are made plain or fluted, or each one may be partly plain and fluted or
wholly plain.
Eyelets are provided at the ends of the strips so that they can be secured
together by stitching, or other such means.
Those metal strips are inserted in the busks preferably one on each side of the
fractured busk for the purpose of strengthening a pair of new busks, and for
repairing or making good the fracture in a broken pair of busks, so that a new
pair is not necessary consequently the broken busks do not require taking out and
A new pair fitting and resewing in.

page_text: I make the said strips preferably in one piece, but doubled, the narrow strip A
for the front aud the wider strip A' for the back. To apply the said said strips
the covering of the busk at the top end is simply opened, and the said strips
insorted, one strip A passing down on the front of the busk, and the other down
behind it.
Or separate strips may be used but are not so convenient. In this case eyelet
holes Care provided at the ends of the strips so that they can be secured together
by stitching, or other such means.
These metal strips are also inserted over the busks B preferably oue on each
side of the busk.
By the use of my invention a new pair of busks can be strengthened and
prevented from fracturing, or the said strips can be used for repairing or making
good the fracture in a broken pair of busks, so that a new pair is not necessary,
consequently the broken busks do not require taking out, and a new pair fitting in
and re-sewing.
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 manufacture and use of strips of metal or other suitable material for

Improved Apparatus for Adjusting Swing Mirrors.
J, CHARLES GRAYSON of Brearton Street, Bradford, in the County of York,
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 this invention is to arrange apparatus that may be readily applied
to swing mirrors in such a manner that the mirror remains stationary at any angle
at which it may be fixed.
In describing my invention in detail reference is made to the accompanying
sheet of drawings in which,-
Fig. 1. represents sectional views of apparatus.
Fig. 2. plan of apparatus.
Fig. 3. the apparatus applied as a side action.
Similar letters indicate similar parts where they appear.
The frame of the mirror is indicated by the letter g. The standards by 8.
In the centre of under side of bottom rail of mirror frame is fixed a plate d.
Attached to plate is a drop b which is provided with a slot, in which ratchet a
is mounted on fulcrum pin a². The drop b can obviously be of any ornamental
form required. Also ratchet a may be of quadrant form and of any required
length. The rod c is secured at each side to the standards by roses h in a
borizontal position.
The centre action is applicable to a side action Fig. 3. by substituting a slot m
in which ratchet a¹ is capable of sliding, a pin m¹ on which the teeth of the ratchet
Ratchet a being mounted on
may stop. The slot m being secured to standard s.
fulcrum pink which is fixed in slot k. The slot k is secured to side rail of mirror
frame below the bearings.
It will be readily understood that when the mirror is in a perpendicular position
the rod c is in the first tooth of the ratchet a. On the lower part of the mirror
being drawn forward the ratchet a slides along the rod till it reaches the stop a³,
but if released in any intermediate position will remain at that angle. By
pressure on the projection p the ratchet a is released from rod c and the mirror
may be returned to its normal angle.
с
It is obvious that by substituting the pin m¹ for the rod c the same action
applies to Fig. 3.-The ratchet a levering on the fulcrum pin k¹ and is
released by pressure on projection p in the same manner as hereinbefore
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 declare that what I
claim is,―
1. The general combination of the parts forming the complete apparatus,
arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbefore set
forth.

page_text: 2. The combination of ratchet a, drop b, rod c and roses h, arranged sub-
stantially in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbefore set forth.
3. The combination of ratchet a¹, slot k, slot m and pin m' arranged sub-
stantially in the manner and for the purpose as herein before set forth.

An Automaton Running Toy Figure.
I, GUSTAV WOLFF of No. 2 Alte Schönhäuserstrasse, Berlin, 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 refers to an animal or human figure running automatically with
four legs or two legs and two hands upon an inclined plane. For this purpose the
legs or arms are suspended pendulum-like in the body of the figure and the bases.
of the feet or hands are slanted laterally that is vertically to the swinging direction
of the legs or arms so that the figure standing on the legs or legs and arms can
swing laterally backwards and forwards when pushed sideways.
The drawing shows such a figure in the form of a bear, Figure 1 being a side
view Figure 2 a longitudinal section and Figure 3 a cross section on the line x-x
of Figure 2.
The body of the figure is hollow and is composed of two halves a and b, Figure 3,
which may be united in any suitable manner. Each of the two halves a and b has
in the upper part near the back two bosses d in which are inserted to turn freely
the upper cranked ends of the hanging rods f which carry the legs g.
faces of the legs are slanted laterally towards the outside Figure 3.
The sole
When this figure is placed on an inclined plane and pushed from one side it will
tilt over a little so as to rest on the slanting sole faces of the opposite legs,.
whereby the legs which are suspended on the pushed half side of the body are
lifted and swing forwards, whereupon the figure swings back towards the other
side then resting upon the slanting sole faces of the legs there whereby the legs on.
the opposite sides are raised and caused to swing forwards.
In this way by the lateral tilt backwards and forwards of the figure will be
produced an alternate swinging forward of two legs on each side and thereby the
automatic running of the figure.
The figure may obviously be made in the form of any four footed animal or of a
human being running on hands and feet.
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.
An animal or human figure, which by means of four pendulum-like suspended
legs or legs and arms the sole or palm surfaces of which are slanted towards the-
outside, can run automatically upon an inclined plane.

A New or Improved Medical Preparation for Human Use.
I, ARTHUR FAULKS, Chapel Street, Enderby, in the County of Leicester,
Shoe Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved medical preparation for human use
and is concocted more especially for the cure of what is known as "indigestion" and
analogous ailments.
To carry out my invention, I take about six ounces of each of the following
herbs, viz. horehound, saxifraze, St. Johns-wort, sweet avens, rosemary and
ragwort, one ounce of gentian root, half-an-ounce of each of the following seeds,
fennel, carraway and anise and the same quantity of cloves and peppercorns.
I then proceed to cut or otherwise reduce them to small particles and then put
the whole or a portion into about five gallons of water and after the mixture has
reached boiling point I allow it to simmer for about six hours, then after it has
cooled it is ready for use.
I may find it desirable to slightly vary the proportions of the different
ingredients before mentioned or to leave out some entirely and substitute others,
but the ingredients and proportions specified, I believe will have the most
beneficial results.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bobbin Winding Frames.
FRANK HOLLINS Yard Works Preston, Cotton Spinner and 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 improvement consists in applying to the winding frame a receiver for the
empty bobbins after the yarn has been wound off.
It is placed in front of the frame and directly below the studs upon which the
bobbins are fixed.
The receiver is made somewhat after the form of a hopper having two parallel
vertical sides about 6 feet long, 7 inches deep and 6 inches apart, the bottom
is formed of two inclined planes, the inclination being from the two ends towards
the centre.
The empty bobbins when taken off the studs by the winder are allowed to fall
into the receiver, whence they slide down the incline towards the centre, where they
pass through an aperture into a can below, by this means the empty bobbins are
collected in one can, thereby effecting a saving of labour on the part of the winder:
also in this arrangement the studs are placed in a vertical position instead of being
at an angle, and thus obviating the necessity of the winder having to stoop to place
any bobbin in position.
The accompanying drawing represents a section of the receiver and can, also a
front view of the studs and bobbins. R being the receiver, A, A, the inclined
bottom and the can. B and B shows the bobbins fixed upon the studs,
B representing the empty bobbins and B¹ the full ones, S, S, represents the studs
with the bobbins taken off.
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 box or receiver, to receive the empty bobbins from a winding frame, made in.
the form described and shown in the drawings for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM RAE, of Berkeley House, Choltenham, in the County
of Gloucester, 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 :-
My invention relates to the construction of tobacco pipes in such a manner as to
give ready access for cleansing the interior, as I shall describo referring to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 is a plan of a tobacco pipe according to my
invention, Fig. 3 is a part longitudinal section and Fig. 4 is a plan shewing a
modification.
As shown in Figa. 1 and 2, I make the pipe longitudinally divided in halves,
which when put together are clamped by rings pressed on to slightly tapered parts
of the bowl and stem, holding the halves firmly together. On removing the rings,
the halves can be separated exposing the interior parts which can be readily
cleansed. For adjusting the halves in position, a couple of dowel pins may be
arranged as shewn in the sides of the bowl.
Also to prevent leakage along the division, either half or both may be faced
with soft fabrio.
Although I have described the halves of the bowl held together by rings in the
same way as those of the stem, obviously they might be held together by fastenings
of other kinds, such for instance as a spring latch fixed on the oxterior of the one
half engaging in a notch provided on the other half. Or, otherwise, there might
be a hinge connecting the halves of the bowl on the side opposite to the stem, the
rings on the stem then effecting the clamping.
As thore is no great difficulty in cleansing the bowl, the stem alone may be
longitudinally divided as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, its halves being held together by
Brewing their one end into a boss of the bowl, and screwing a mouthpiece on
their other end. By making the screwed parts slightly tapered, the halves aro
held firmly together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declaro that what I
claim is :-
1. A tobacco pipe longitudinally divided in halves, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
2. A tobacco pipe having its stem longitudinally divided in halves which are
held together by sorewing their ends into the bowl and mouth piece, substantially
as described.
