An Improvement in or relating to Gloves.
I JOHN FREDERICK OBERLIN WESTON of 97 Wood Street, Cheapside, London,
Warehouseman (Messrs. Dent Allcroft & Co.) 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 certain improvements in or additions to driving and like
gloves in order that a positive grasp or hold of the reins, whip or other appliance,
say a fishing rod, a golf club or other article can be obtained whereby a better
command can be had for manipulating the article than is possible by a plain faced
glove of the usual make.
To carry my invention into practice I take an ordinary glove or preferably the
front and thumb portions only before the glove has to be made up and I sew or
stitch short lengths of whip or other cord, braid or the like along or on those finger
pieces which have to bear the greatest friction in wear and tear, such as those parts
which hold or grasp the reins, whip or other article. The cords may be plain of a
colour corresponding to that of a glove or cords could be enclosed in strips of
leather or other material in which case a double row of sewing or stitching would
secure the rib or ridges.
The additions can be arranged anglewise or in any other desired direction such
as around the front or up and on the side finger and thumb pieces as well as along
or on the palm portion and where such ribs or ridges are affixed to between the
fingers they can be continued in or follow the course of the forchettes as a thorough
protection and guard to the leather of the glove itself such additions or ribs being
applicable for renewals of faulty ragged or worn out ribs while the glove remains
in a good wearable condition.
c
By this invention positive permanent ribs or ridges are produced which have no
tendency to flatten or to become flat; they can be affixed by sewing on to existing
gloves and renewed at will or they can be attached to the glove material before the
glove is made up.
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 :-
Adding plain cord or covered cord to gloves or glove material by sewing, to
form projecting ribs or ridges along or on the desired parts as a protection to the
glove and to afford a good and reliable grasp of reins, whip, fishing rod, golf club
or other article as and in the manner set forth.

Improvements in Removable Heat Non-conducting Pipe Covering.
JOSEPH CORRIE STRUTHERS MLAY of 10 Mexfield Road Putney in the
County of Surrey 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 produce a light uncharable heat non-conducting
pipe covering which can be easily removed to allow of the pipes being examined
and tested and which can be easily replaced.
To effect this object I make tubes of asbestos papier mâché or of asbestos paper
or of paper rendered incombustible by chemical process (in some cases the papier
mâché or paper is made with intercellular air spaces) and I divide them longi-
tudinally into equal parts. On each of the concave sides of these divided tubes
I place at any required distances the halves of rings (which have been made in a
similar manner and of similar material as the tubes) the inner diameters of these
rings being of the same size as the outer diameters of the pipes to be covered.
An air space when the tubes are placed in position is thereby formed between the
pipes and the tubes, the thickness of the rings determining the width thereof.
This air space is made confined by pasting asbestos or other paper over all the
joints of the tubes and filling up the ends with a plastic composition of asbestos.
The two parts of the tubes are securely held together by means of staples or bands.
The whole covering may then be painted and varnished.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manuer the same is to be performed I declare what I
claim is
The construction of a removable pipe covering made of asbestos papier mâché,
or of asbestos paper or paper rendered incombustible by chemical process, with
or without intercellular air spaces, and with a confined air space, the width of
which is determined by the thickness of the rings substantially in the manner set
forth and described.

An Improved Device for Holding the Ribs of Umbrellas, Parasols,
and the like when Folded up.
I, MAX AUGUST THEO DRAEGER, of 71 Oelkers Allee, Altona, Germany,
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 :-
This invention relates to an improved device for holding the ribs of umbrellas,
parasols, and the like when folded up and it consists essentially of two sleeves
held apart by a spring and mounted movably upon either the umbrella handle or
the stick.
On the annexed sheet of drawings two modifications of the invention are shown
in section at Figs. 1 and 2.
In Fig. I the inner sleeve a is either glued, cemented, rivetted or otherwise
attached to the handle b whilst the second sleeve c which catches and surrounds
the rib ends d, is fitted concentrically outside it. Between the two sleeves is
arranged a spiral spring e which is held in place by an outer flange on the sleeve a
and an inner ring secured, preferably without solder, in the sleeve c.
The outer sleeve c is held in position by its inwardly spun or folded over edges h
at each end. These edges also limit the movement of the sleeve.
In the arrangement shown at Fig. 2 the inner sleeve a' is not fixed to the
umbrella handle but to the stick g, whilst the outer sleeve c' has, as a bearing for
the spring e, a ring f* fastened or secured in it.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
A device for holding the rib ends of umbrellas, parasols, and the like consisting
of two spring sleeves one of which is secured to the handle or stick whilst the
other is fitted concentrically outside of the first one and holds the ribs together,
substantially as herein before described with reference to the drawings annexed.

Improvements in or connected with Boats or Navigable Vessels.
We, ALFRED TABOR WALLRFIELD, of Napier Villa, Pellatt Grove, Wood
Green, in the County of Middlesex, Suiveyou, and JOHN BALL, of Chiswick in
the County of Middlesex, Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
descubed and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Om invention consists in improvements in or connected with boats or navigable
vessels, and has for its object to protect the same fion damage in the event of
collision, and at the same time to obviate usk of accident through the boat
capsizing, this latter feature being of special importance with light shiffs and
the like.
According to our invention, which is illustrated upon the accompanying sheet of
drawings, we adopt substantially the following aangements
Figs partial side elevation, Fig. 2 part section amidships, and Fig. 3
sectional plan of stem of boat with our improvements adapted thereto.
A plate of on or suitable material a fixed to the nose of the boat has holes
drilled therein to receive rods bb extending the length of the boat. These rods
may be of different sizes and are composed of iron or suitable metal, being held
in place by cleats attached to the sides of the boat, or by other convenient
method.
At the stern of the boat or vessel a similar device to that shewn at the stem is
provided to receive the other ends of such iods b. Between the rods 6 b,
plates or pieces of cork, indin-rubber, or any other material may be fixed and
covered with a suitable casing.
In Fig. 2 are the rods extending along the length of the boat. a' is a bracket
attached to the side of the boats, a' is the cork, india-i ubber or other suitable
material referred to in the last paragraph
The construction thus assumes the form of a fender or buffer extending along
both sides of the boat or vessel. It may be made so as to be air tight and water-
tight throughout, and is easily to be attached to any boat or vessel, rendering light
craft more buoyant and less liable to be damaged by collision.
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 se
claim is:-

I JOHN GRIFFIN of No. 11 Raeburn Street Brixton S. W. Engineer I WILLIAM
ERNEST CAPNER PINCHBECK of 71 Queen Street London E.C. Hardware Agent
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 mode of checking waste for the purpose of
beer water and other liquids drawn from barrels and other vessels by means of
pulls. This is effected by attaching a metal case having enclosed a ram with a
spring lever and valve to the spout.
And in order that this my invention may be fully and readily carried into effect
I will now proceed to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings
and letters and figures of reference marked thereon, similar letters referring to like
parts throughout the figures.
Figure 1 is side view.
Figure 2 is an end view from the valve end G.
Figure 3 is a section taken on the line 1-2 in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a plan.
A is the body or case of waste preventer B is the chamber or recess where the
spout or pipe reposes when in connection C is a leather attached to the stalk or
ram D run through the spiral spring E held in position by means of the metal
washer H soldered or screwed into the tube M giving pressure between the metal
washer H and the under part of the metal cap forming the top of the stalk D.
The lever F on the centre J is connected at one end to the valve G and the other
end to the stalk or ram D either with or without a pin through N.
This completes the whole arrangement, the same being then fixed by means of
small set screws through the holes K to a rim or collar attached to the proposed
spout or tube which will repose in the chamber B after which the force of the
liquid through L presses down the leather C the ram D the spring E and the
lever F sufficiently to raise the valve G letting through the liquid supplied from
the slot or passage I. The force becoming exhausted the spring E returns or
pushes the ram D and the leather C into its normal position again.
It is obvious to mention that when required spouts and other pipes will be
prepared in one with A. B and M; the collar chamber B will if required be screwed
inside or outside for nuts or caps for connecting which would dispense with the
collar or flange at B together with the set pins.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-

Improvements in Toe Clips for Use in Cycling.
I, ALBERT WALTER GAMAGE, of 126, Holborn in the City of London, Outfitter,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
Toe clips for use in cycling as hitherto made, usually consist of a bar of suitable
shape which engages the front or toe of the rider's foot. This is often insufficient
to give a satisfactory hold.
Now according to the present invention I provide a crossbar so shaped that, when
in proper position, it will embrace the sides of the rider's foot, the main bar of the
clip embracing the front as usual. To enable the crossbar to be fixed in the most
convenient position I prefer to inake it adjustable, and to this end make a slot in
the main bar through which passes a stud carrying the crossbar. The stud is fitted
with a set screw or the like by loosening which the crossbar may be shifted to and
fro, and held securely when the set screw or the like is fixed.

Improvements in and connected with Monumental Stones, Grave
Stones, Monuments, and the like.
I, ELIAS PHILLIPS, of Glyn Ceiriog Ruabon, Wales, Sculptor, 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 and connected with monuments,
monumental stones, grave stones and the like and has for its object to utilize a
composition of granite screenings or waste and Portland cement for making the
aforesaid articles.
This well known composition of Portland cement and granite screenings or waste
has hitherto been used for making flags to cover railway stations, and for many
other purposes but owing to its extreme hardness it has not hitherto been thought
suitable for making inonumental stones, grave stones and the like owing to it being
almost impossible to engrave letters or words on same.
Now according to this invention I provide means whereby this composition may
be utilized for making the aforesaid monumental stones, grave stones or monuments,
at the same time allowing any letters, words, inscription epitaph or the like to be
engraved on same with ease.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, the composition is moulded to the
required shape so as to form a monumental stone, grave stone or the like while in
the process of moulding I embed one or more thin plates or tablets of slate, granite,
lead or other suitable material within the surface of the composition, in the places
required, and upon these plates or tablets the inscription, epitaph or the like is
engraved.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed
to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a front view of a grave stone and Fig. 2 a side view of same with the
head stone partly in section.
Fig. 3 shows this invention applied to one form of monumental grave stone.
In the drawings the parts marked 9 are formed of the composition of granite
screenings or waste and Portland cement while the letters indicates the plates or
tablets embedded in same and upon which letters, words, inscription, epitaph or the
like is cut or engraved.
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:-
In a composition of Portland cement and granite screenings or waste for forming
monumental stones, grave stones, monuments or the like; the embedding of thin
plates or tablets of suitable and softer material in the surface of same, for the
purpose of carving the letters, words, inscription, epitaph or the like; substantially
as herein described, and shown in the accompanying drawings.

We, THE EDISON & SWAN UNIted Electric LIGHT COMPANY LIMITED,
and EDWARD ALFRED GIMINGHAM all of Ponders End, 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 :-
This invention relates to means of fixing on the bulb of an incandescent electric
lamp a cap for connecting the leading in wires to thin contact plates without
passing the wire connections through material such as miglit be or become so far
conductive as to cause short circuiting. For this purpose, as we shall describe
referring to the accompanying drawings, the bulb is made with a head A through
which the leading in wires are sealed, this head being of rounded dovetail form
thicker at its top than at its root. We pass the thinner part of this head along the
slot of a cup B, which slot is too narrow to let the thick part of the head pass
through it, and on this cup we fix a cap C which holds a disc D of non conducting
material on which are fixed the contact plates E E¹ connected to the leading in
wires F F.
The fixing of the cap C to the bulb may be effected as shewn in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5 by first cementing the cup B to the bulb and then soldering the cap C to B.
Or, as shewn in Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9, the cup B being merely held to the bulb by
the dovetail head A, the cap C is secured to it by two studs projecting inwardly
from C and engaging in bayonet catch slots of B, each slot having a sloping limb,.
so that, by turning the socket C more or less round, the cup B is more or less
firmly tightened in position.
Having now particularly described and uscertained 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 incandescent electric lamp, the combination of the dovetail bulb-head A,.
the cup B and cap C, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Province of Saxony, 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 object of the present invention is to considerably cheapen the cost of
manufacture of lamps where petroleum, paraffin, benzoline or other such mineral
oil is used, by doing away with the customary glass chimney and the metal frame
for supporting the lamp-shade and by substituting for these a plate-shaped piece of
glass or other suitable material which serves for both functions
I will explain my invention with reference to the accompanying drawing
In the first place, it must be understood that I do not interfere with any portion
of the lamp as hitherto used beyond the glass chimney and the support for the
lamp-shade with these exceptions the lamp can be as before
I effect my object by means of a plate-shaped piece of glass or other suitable
material A having a neck B in its centre
This neck B is fitted in the socket in
which the glass chimney is usually fitted and in such way as to be air-tight and
in this position serves as lamp chimney
The outer rim or edge of the plate-shaped rest A is curved so as to engage
with the under edge oi rim of the lamp-shade and hold same firmly In this
way neither a glass chimney for the flame nor a metal frame for supporting the
lamp-shade is needed
Having now fully 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
clum is
In an improved lamp the combination of a plate-shaped rest A, of glass or other
suitable material, for a lamp-shade, with a neck B and the lamp, in such way, that
said plate-shaped rest A with its neck B form substitutes for a metal frame and a
glass chimney substantially as shown and described

Improvements in Forks for Domestic or Agricultural Purposes.
I, FRIEDRICH MÜLLER, of 13, Gutleutstrasse, Frankfurt a/ Main, in the-
Empire of Germany, 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 and accompanying drawing, that
is to say :-
This invention has for its object a novel method of constructing forks used for
domestic or agricultural purposes, so that by a simple arrangement any substances
adhering to or clogging the prongs can be easily and quickly removed.
The application of my invention to a fork to be used for articles of food, is
illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section,
Figure 2 a side view, and
Figure 3 an end view of the same.
In the hollow handle a of the fork a rod or spindle b is fitted, by pressing a knob.
upon the outer end of which a helical spring c is compressed between collars or
projections upon a and b.
C
By this movement the plate d, which is fixed upon the end of the rod or
spindle and round the prongs, is pressed out from the end of the handle and along
to the points of the prongs, and entirely removes thereby all substances adhering
to or between the prongs. When the pressure upon the end of the rod or spindle b-
ceases, it-together with the plate is brought back by the pressure of the
spring c, so that the fork is again ready for use.
In the method of construction described and shewn, the handle of the fork is
shewn provided with a projecting ring or boss e in a suitable position, so that it can
be held by the middle finger and thumb, whilst the index finger presses the knob
at the outer end of the spindle.
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 fork for domestic and agricultural purposes having a rod or spindle 6 fitted
in the hollow handle a, and carrying a plate d at its outer end, which fits round
and between the prongs of the fork, so that by pressure upon a knob at the end of
the spindle the plate removes any substances between or adhering to the prongs,.
and is returned to its position by a spring c contained in the hollow handle, when
the pressure is removed, substantially as described and illustrated.

Improved Belt Fastening.

page_text: Date of Application, 5th Apr., 1895-Accepted, 11th May, 1895
Improved Belt Fastening.
I, JOHANN LIEB of Bonn a/Rhein, in the Empire of Germany, Director, 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 relates to a device for fastening or connecting together
belts and is based on the use of rivets.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the now beit fastener in its several
parts.
The belt to be fastened or connected together is laid between two flanged
sleeves such as a advantageously made of sheet steel (the belt is not shown in
the drawing) an opening being provided in the belt into which a rivet c is
inserted.
A most particularly suitable material for the said rivet has been found to be
composed of a mixture of 12 parts of tin, part of antimony and 3 parts of
lead.
The rivet is now provided with a head by upsetting or is otherwise headed or
riveted in any suitable manner for instance this may advantageously be done on
the belt pulley itself which latter affords a good foundation for this operation.
The bead of the rivet may be filled up to give it a finished appearance but this
is not absolutely necessary.
This invention is particularly suitable for crossed and half-crossed belts because
the rivet does not form a projecting obstacle on any side.
It is in fact advantageous for use with most belts because its smooth surface does
not constitute any risk of danger.
The belts are disconnected in a very simple manner viz. by removing the rivet
head with the aid of a suitable tool whereupon the belt falls apart of itself.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A belt fastener consisting of two oppositely arranged flanged sleeves such as a
in combination and acting in conjunction with a rivet b inserted through Bame
substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein before described and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.
2. Fastening belts substantially in the manner and by the means hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

Pneumatic Soles and Heels.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Pneumatic Soles and Heels.
We, JOSEF ARBTER, of Brunn, Moravia, in the Empire of Austria, Merchant,
ALFRED CHRIST, of Gross-Seclowitz, Moravia, aforesaid, Student, and EDUARD
PODRAZIL, of Gross-Seclowitz, aforesaid, 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 object of this invention is to provide pneumatic soles and heels consisting
of hollow bodies made by preference from rubber, gummy substances or air-tight
woven articles which are in the shape of soles and also heels.
In the annexed drawing some examples showing the manner of producing them
are represented.
Fig. 1. shows a longitudinal section of a pneumatic sole a produced in one piece
with the pneumatic heel b.
Fig. 2. shows a longitudinal section of a pneumatic sole.
Fig. 3. shows a longitudinal section of a pneumatic heel.
These pneumatic soles and heels are furnished as represented on Fig. 1 with
a valve d which has the same arrangement as the valves applied on pneumatic
wheels and serves at the same time as a trousers' protector.
By means of the valve d air is pumped according to requirements into the heel
or sole.
The soles and heels can however also be produced without this valve and used
in which case air is compressed in the hollow body; the body is then closed by
means of a plug d' (Figs. 2 and 3) in the same manner as in rubber toy balls for
children. It is also to be understood that the sole and heel represented in Fig. 1
can be closed by means of a plug d' instead of the valve d and in the same manner
the valve d can be fitted to the sole and heel (Figs. 2 and 3) in place of the
plug d.
The eminent advantage of the described pneumatic soles and heels consists in
the fact that no jerk is transmitted to the human body whilst walking or jumping
et cætera and the body therefore not subjected to any shock or shaking therefrom.
It is worth while stating that it will be an advantage to strengthen the sole
represented in Fig. 1 in the places marked c as these parts which will not come in
contact with the ground are very subject to wear.
Further than this in order to protect these soles and heels against too rapid
wear the walking surfaces g which come in contact with the ground must be
strengthened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
Pneumatic soles and heels of rubber, gummy substances or elastic woven articles.
with strengthened walking surfaces g closed by means of a valve d or plug d
substantially as described.

An Improved Composition for Removing Blackheads, Whiteheads,.
and the like from the Skin.
I, HERRMAN JONAS, of 9 Brighton Street, in the City, and County of
Edinburgh, Scotland, 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 :-
My invention relates to a composition for the removal of blackheads, whiteheads
and the like, from the skin.
It consists of the following ingredients:
One ounce of powdered orris root to which a small quantity, say a drop, of each
of the following perfumes is added ;-Musk, rose, neroli, bergamot, lemon, cloves,
and lavender. When the orris root is sufficiently dry, it is thoroughly mixed with
two lbs. (avoirdupois) of finely ground wheaten flour. The ingredients are then
colored to the required shade with powdered carmine, and finally sifted, through a
fine mesh sieve.
When required for use, a small quantity of the admixture, is mixed with water
to the consistency of thin paste and then applied with the hand by rubbing gently,
as with soap lather, on the affected part, after which it is carefully washed off with
cold water, and it will be seen that the eruptions have disappeared leaving the skin
perfectly smooth.
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 composition for the removal of blackheads, whiteheads, and the like, from the
skin, consisting of the following admixture,
To every 2 lbs. (avoirdupois) of wheaten flour, is added, 1 ounce of powdered
orris root, and 1 drop or thereabouts, of the following perfumes,-Musk, rose,
neroli, bergamot, lemon, cloves, and lavender.
