I, Mrs. HEDWIG OTTILIE BILLER, née Rohn wife of Mr. Robert Biller,
Merchant of Leipzig Delitzscherstr. 3 Germany 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 the present invention is a sock or stocking suspender which is
intended to prevent the sock from slipping down onto the wearer's foot, and at the
same time to give it an elegant fit and cause it to set tightly. The sock suspender
in question is represented on the annexed drawing. It consists of an elastic garter a
to which is suspended a piece of elastic band c, by means of a ring b.
A catch e,
of heart-like shape is attached to the lower end of c, and the two arms & i of this
catch converge to a wedge-shaped slot.
The suspender is used in the following manner: The garter a is passed upwards
over the calf of the leg as far as the knee-cap allowing the catch e, to touch the
upper border of the sock g; a crease is now formed in the latter and passed into
the wedge-shaped slot d, which catches and holds the crease. The socks are not
injured by the use of the suspender, nor does it unduly press or squeeze the leg, as
the garter a, can be enlarged or tightened at will by a buckle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim:
A sock suspender consisting of an elastic garter (a) carrying a catch or holder (e)
with wedge-shaped slot (d) into which latter a vertical crease of the sock is intro-
duced for the purpose of preventing the same from slipping down and also to give
the sock an elegant fit, as herein duly set forth and particularly described.

shaped staple u. A frame way of bamboo or other suitable material and
covered with canvas or the like z constitutes the awning herein referred to.
awning is attached to the back frame of the chair at or about the position of the
rail, by means of hook and eye staples, at A and at B, by which means the awning
can be turned up or down or removed altogether. A cord or the like C is attached,
to an eye D fastened at or about the centre of the rail E of the awning. The
cord is carried across the top of the awning, over the pulley S, down behind the
chair and then fastened to the staple , thus enabling the awning to be raised or
lowered according to the length of cord allowed between the eye D and staple u.
Another cord or the like F can be fastened at one end to the eye G attached to

Improvements in Metallic Weavings.
I, JULIUS WITTWER of St. Johann, in the German Empire, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in metallic weavings.
Metallic weavings for industrial purposes and especially those used in the
manufacture of boards and papers, are subjected to severe strains along their edges.
The latter are damaged quickly, and the sheets must be frequently replaced. Nor
has the insertion of hemp cords or threads along the margins or borders of the
sheets, met with any appreciable success.
The object of the present invention is, therefore, to considerably increase the
resisting power of the selvage edges and of the margins or borders of metallic
weavings. In carrying it into effect, I fortify each margin or border of the sheet
for a suitable width, by forming a chain there: that is to say, the warps wires are
there thicker than in the central and unfortified portion of the weaving. Each
selvage is also fortified in the same way. The number of the thicker warp wires
in the chain is determined by the desired width of the respective margin or border
as well as that of the respective selvage, as the case may be.
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 combination in and with a metallic weaving, of a fortifying chain having
thicker warp wires along the margins or borders and the selvages, than those in
the unfortified portion of the weaving.

In the process hitherto known for tanning skins and bides with vegetable tan,
the same have been treated with a weak ooze or liquor-after having been prepared
in the usual manner-so as to avoid attacking the grain immediately and thus
produce a good grain formation.
The spent ooze or liquor was continually replaced by fresh and stronger liquor,
and by carefully watching the process for weeks, and even months, the hides finally
attained a condition in which the tanning medium had thoroughly impregnated the
fibrous fabric of the skins, or in other words, were properly tanned. In the
so called quick tanning process, attempts were made to accelerate the tanning
process by employing more highly concentrated liquors instead of week oozes, but
this process has the disadvantage that the grain contracts and gets chapped,
producing unsightly leather of inferior quality.
The object of the present invention is to tan the skins and hides with vegetable
oozes in a complete and quick manner by subjecting them to a preliminary treatment
which enables their immediate treatment with the strongest oozes, without being
damaged. The said preliminary treatment consists in squeezing off the skins whilst
in a soft state so as to render the grain more easily accessible to grease or oil.
The skins are in this soft state after oozing, or after the same have been placed in
a weak liquor and swelled. The skins are now impregnated with grease or oil
which is rubbed into them on the grain side.
After this operation the skins are tanned and are capable of being treated with
the strongest liquors (considerably above 5° Beaumé) and even with warm liquors,
without the grain being damaged.
Leather tanned by the present process is fine grained, full, and good. The
process only occupies hours and days, if continual motion is employed, as is usual
with quick tanning processes.
The process offers considerable advantages for
works which are closed on Sundays, since the prepared skins can be placed in the
liquor on Saturday, and left there during Sunday without deteriorating the quality
of the goods.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
olaim is:
In the process for tanning prepared hides and skius with vegetable tan, the step
which consists in rubbing in or impregnating the grain side with grease or oil
previous to and during treatment in the ooze, substantially as described.

A Rocking Char-a-banc for the use of Children.
1, WILLIAM WHITAKER, of 42 Bishophill in the City of York, Foreman
Smith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same
s to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:
:-
The object of my invention is to provide a rocking char-a-banc for the use
of children.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of my invention.
Fig. 2, is a section of tyre shown in the above figure.
Fig. 3, is a plan of cushion tyre, to be used in lieu of that shown in the
above figure.
In carrying out my invention I employ rockers A. composed preferably of light
Tiron. From the rockers A are supports B with stays Ċ carrying a platform D
upon which are arranged seats F for the children.
A brake arrangement, composed of an iron G and connected with a cord H
fastened to the iron G at its lower end, and passing over pulleys L and M, and
capable of being fastened to a hook N, when the brake is raised; is provided at
one or both ends of the apparatus.
The modus operandi is as follows:-
The brake is at the position shewn in the drawings, namely upon the floor level,
which holds the apparatus in position until the parties take their seats upon the
platform D. The cord H is then pulled by the ring H¹ so as to lift the brake to
the position shown in dotted lines, the cord H is then fastened to the hook N. The
apparatus then commences to rock, and the rocking is continued to any desired time.
When it is desired to stop, the brake G is lowered to its normal position and the
apparatus stopped, the occupants can then leave the seats.
Instead of using T iron tyres, a cushion tyre such as shown in Fig. 3 may be
used. Or a pneumatic tyre, as preferred. The apparatus is constructed to hold
any equal number of children on both sides.
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 rocking char-a-banc constructed substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination with a rocking char-a-banc of a brake arrangement,
substantially as and for the purposes shown and described.

Improved Electric Primer.
We, THE MORRIS TUBE, AMMUNITION, AND SAFETY RANGE COMPANY-
LIMITED, and ARTHUR JAMES HERNEY WYATT Engineer, all of 11 Haymarket
in the County 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 following statement:-
This invention relates to a construction of electric primer described in the-
Specification to Morris' Patent No. 12094 of 1890. According to the present
improved construction the primer is composed of only two shells instead of three
as described in the said Patent, such shells being constructed and arranged as we
will describe with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figs. 1, 2
and 3 shew longitudinal sections respectively of the inner shell A and its plug B,.
the outer shell or tube C, and the two shells combined.
The shell A of conducting metal is formed with a tapering recess into which fits
the tapered plug B, to a small projection on which is fixed one end of a platinum
wire D.
This shell with its plug is provided with an insulating coating and is then inserted
into the correspondingly shaped outer shell C with an insulating washer at G. This
shell has a shoulder at its inner end for the reception of a wad E, and it has a
small slit or hole C¹ formed in or near its edge.
When the inner shell has been inserted, the other end of the platinum wire is
fitted tightly or soldered into the slit or hole C', and after the space F in the outer
shell has been filled with explosive, the wad E is fixed in position so as to secure
the explosive. The primer having been fixed in the base of the cartridge as shewn
in Fig. 4 and this being introduced into the gun the shells A and C are connected
respectively to the conductors of an electrical circuit in any convenient manner so
that on closing the circuit the wire D will become heated and effect the firing of
the charge.
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 :-
In an electrical primer, the combination of two shells, an inner and an outer
one, the inner shell A with plug B having a platinum wire D attached thereto, and
fitted in an insulated manner into an outer shell or tube C having a slit or hole C
for securing the other end of the wire D, the end of the outer shell being closed
by a wad E for retaining the explosive, substantially as described.

Copying Apparatus.

Copying Apparatus.
I, WILHELM GÖTTLER, Manufacturer of Josefsdorf in the Province of Silesia
and Kingdom of Prussia do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performned, to be particularly described and ascertained.
in and by the following statement :-
This apparatus is intended to make a large number of copies (so-called
hectographs) of any piece of writing one after the other, without it being necessary
as hitherto to hold each separate sheet of paper with much trouble exactly over the
writing that is to be reproduced then to lay it on and to produce the copies by
pressing and rubbing with the hand, in which operation the hands are usually soiled
by ink and gum. With this apparatus one can take copies of different writings
alternately at the same time.
The apparatus, as is drawn in the annexed drawing in side- and front-view,
consists chiefly of the supports A A, the drum B rotatably mounted on a horizontal
axle, the printing-roller C, which rolls on this drum, and the paper-roller E,
on which endless paper is rolled, rotatably mounted in front of the whole in
supports D D.
The drum B which can be formed as a four-sided body as well as a many-sided
body or be of cylindrical shape is formed like a basin on its circumference to the
depth of half an inch, either in divisions corresponding to the different sides of the
drum, or without these divisions. The basin or basins are filled with the copying
(hectograph) substance.
The endless paper coming from the paper-roll E is at first brought straight on
one side of the drum B and the latter then rotated by means of the crank a, while
the roller C, hanging rotatably in the arms bb at the cross-bar c, which serves at
the same time as upper connection between the supports A A, rests on the paper
pressing it uniformly and gradually on the whole surface against the substance on
the drum B. When the paper has been taken along in this manner on two sides
i.e. half the circumference of the drum B, it must be continually pulled off.
This pulling off may be done by hand as well as by mechanical means, e.g. by
automatic transport-rollers or by transport-rollers connected to the crank a etc.,
(with which at the same time a drying and cutting-apparatus may be connected).
The roller F, moveably mounted in vertical slits above the paper-roller E in the
supports, is to press gently on the paper-roller and thus prevent it from turning
back and ensure a regular motion of the paper.
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:
Copying-apparatus, thereby distinguished that endless paper coming from the
roller E gradually passes over a drum B, rotated by a crank a and covered on its
circumference by the copying-substance, and is pressed at the same time by the
roller C gradually and uniformly against the substance, so as to copy the writing
on it.
