A Heel or Heel and Toe Protector for use in a Boot or Shoe.
I, CHARLES THOMAS WOOD PIPER, of Chester Lodge, Plymouth, Land 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 :-
My invention relates to what I may term an internal galoche to be worn over the
hose but within the boot or shoe, and designed to serve as a protector for the heel
and, if desired, for the toes also and of the hose worn thereon, against pressure and
friction and consequent chafing or wear caused by the hard leather of the boot or
shoe, particularly at the back of the heel.
The Invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this
specification, wherein figure 1 is a perspective view of a heel protector; figure 2 a
similar view of a heel, toe, and sole, protector; while figure 3 shews the protector
applied to the foot.
The internal galoche or protector of my invention is made of one or more plys of
a thick soft leather, such as roan or glove leather, or of india-rubber or gutta-
percha moulded or pressed to shape. In the case of a heel protector only, as in
figure 1, it is composed of what may be termed a sole portion a and of a flank and
heel portion 6 united by sewing, and adapted by their shape to fit closely to the heel
of the foot, the protector being held in position thereon outside of the hose by an
elastic strap c attached to the flank portion and passing over the instep. The sole
piece may terminate at the waist of the foot, as in figure 1, or it may be continued
to the toe in which case it would be provided with a toe-cap d of the same
material, as shewn in figures 2 and 3, adapted to fit closely over the toes of the
wearer. This sole piece may be a strip of cork uniting the heel and toe piece.
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 what I
claim is ;-
The herein-described internal galoche or protector for the heel, or for the heel sole
and toes of the foot and hose, substantially as specified.

Improvements in Treating Japanned Surfaces in Imitation of Bone,
Ivory, Horn, and other Material.
I WALTER HENRY ASTON of James Street in the Parish of Saint Peter the Great
in the City of Worcester Timber 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 consists of an improvement in the process of japanning whereby at
a small cost the articles treated are made to bear a resemblance when finished to ivory,
bone buffalo horn, ebony and other substances according to the colour of the material
employed and the mode of treatment thereof, rendering it suitably applicable for the
coating of inexpensive material for the construction of knife and fork handles, other
articles of cutlery and door furniture.
The process consists firstly of the ordinary operation of japanning and secondly of
removing by friction with suitable powders or other substances the gloss obtained by
such process, and the inequalities and bubbles which are generally found therein, and
of afterwards repolishing the article with rotten stone or other substances and finally
working it up to a high finish with a dry dolly and whitening.
The grain of ivory or other imitations may be produced in the process of
japanning by combs hard brushes or other suitable means, which when the polishing
is completed is effective. The colour is permanent and is not affected by heat or
boiling water.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The application to knife and fork handles and the handles of other articles of cutlery,
and door furniture, of the process of japanning so finished as to give the article
treated the appearance of bone, ivory, black buffalo, or other materials usually
employed for knife and fork handles and such other mentioned articles substantially
as described.

1, SAMUEL BEAUMONT of Grande Rue, Roubaix, Department du Nord, France,
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 hair-pins, and it has for its object to render them
serviceable in the prevention and cure of sick and nervous beadaches, neuralgia, and
nervous disorders of the head in general.
According to these improvements I construct the hair-pins of steel wire and harden
and temper thom by well known means and devices. I then include the needles
within a solenoid, through which a current of electricity is caused to pass, or I place
them in a magnetic fluid, or rub them in contact with a magnet and thus or by other
suitable means convert each pin into a permanent magnet. The magnetic pins may
then be bronzed lacquered or varnished without the application of heat and afterwards
be packed for sale. The lacquer bronze varnish or other finish may be applied before
the pins are magnetised, but it will be more convenient and economical to finish
them after their magnetisation, the application of heat being in any case carefully
avoided after the pins are magnetised.
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 hat what I
claim is―
The hereinbefore described improvements in the manufacture of hair-pins sub-
stantially as and for the purpose set forth.

An Improved Toy.
JOHN BRUCE Engraver 115 Hanley Road Stroud Green London N. 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 invention consists of a small ball 1 or bead 1 according to the size and
weight required with a wire 2 through the centre for axle 2 the ends of which are
set in paper 3, card 3, or thin metal 3 shaped to suit the said toy or novelty in
which it is to be placed, so that the weight of the ball, or bead, is central between
the sides but predominating in the end or part, desired to be kept in front while
travelling, as in the mouse, or beetle, it would be slightly towards the head.
The toys, outlined or shewn in dotted line on drawing are made of paper embossed
to represent small animals insects &c., and when travelling have a side motion
giving the appearance of running on legs, the toys are lightly made the ball or bead
being heavier than the rest of toy, and when being played with the toy is placed
on a small plane or flat surface of card or paper, held by one or both hands so as
to incline it in any way easily commencing with an incline from the head or part
the ball or bead governs and continuing the incline the toy can be made to run a
given track or in any direction the player pleases, providing the incline is not kept
too long in one direction which allows it to run off the plane, the incline required is
so slight it seems run on a level surface.
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,
1st. The weight of small ball, or bead, in the base of the lightly made toy, is
the motive power when placed on an incline.
2nd. The ball or bead being central between the sides, but predominating in one
end, or part, enables it to carry the toy that part foremost, in any direction the
plane or surface is inclined on which it is placed.
3rd. The toys are made of paper embossed to represent small animals, insects,
&c., and when travelling have a side motion, giving the appearance of running
on legs.

in the Empire of Germany.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and Engineers,
of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, 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 and
accompanying drawing, (that is to say) :-
This invention relates to a simple apparatus, by which meat is more perfectly
cooked, being better browned and more juicy, and the baking of pastry is better
effected, than has heretofore been the case in such apparatus, and this with a
considerable economy of fuel.
In the accompanying drawing which is in illustration of the invention, figures 1
and 2, represent transverse and longitudinal sections respectively of the improved
roasting and baking apparatus, and figure 3 is a front view of the same.
The mantle or cover A of the roasting and baking apparatus is open at the bottom
and has double sides, the space between being filled with a bad heat conducting
material. The back B of the cover A is single and the front C through which meat
or other articles to be cooked, can be put in and taken out, is closed by a cover D,
having a handle.
Several iron rings E are fixed opposite to each other on both sides of the
cover A, and into them cross bars are hooked. On these cross bars F is placed
a vessol G having double sides the space between which is also fitted with bad beat
conductors. The vessel G is provided with ribs H running longitudinally, upon
which rests a roasting or baking pan J, admitting air all round.
The superiority of the improved apparatus consists in utilizing to the best
advantage the heat of the oven in the region of the mantle or cover A. The
currents of heat are reflected by the vaulted and impenetrable sides into the pan
whilst heat cannot escape, but is retained by the mantle A and continually renewed
and increased.
By removing the vessel G, placing the pan J on the cross bars F (or directly upon
the hot plate of a kitchener) and by turning the vessel G over the pan. J, and by
other combinations, it is possible to bring about, in the simplest manner, all desired
conditions of top and bottom heat.
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 1
claim is :-
A roasting and baking apparatus, the double sided mantle or cover A of which is
open at the bottom and provided with a cover D and iron rings E, the latter for
receiving cross bars F upon which is placed a double sided vessel G having
longitudinally arranged ribs H on which the roasting or baking pan rests, air
being admitted from all sides, substantially as described and shewn.¸

Improvements in or connected with Ink Bottles or Stands.
I, HANS HOLST SCHIVE, of Christiania, in the Kingdom of Norway, Manager, 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 ink bottle or stand having in its cover a valve which is
norinally maintained in a closed position under the action of a spring to protect the
ink against the influence of the air and which may have combined with it an arrange-
ment for regulating the extent to which the valve may be depressed and consequently
also the depth to which the pen is dipped into the ink.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
-
Figure 1 is a sectional view of an ink-stand constructed according to my invention
but without the regulating mechanism; and
Figure 2 is a similar view of the said inkstand with the regulating mechanism.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
a indicates the ink-bottle proper, 6 the cover thereof and c the valve which is
adapted to close an opening formed in the said cover. d is the spring the lower end of
which is soldered or otherwise fastened to a plate e resting upon the bottom of the
ink-stand and serving to support the spring in a vertical position while the upper end
is secured to the valve c. The said spring is sufficiently strong to maintain the valve
in its normal position and at the same time capable of being readily compressed under
the pressure of a pen upon the said valve at the moment of dipping the pen into
the ink.
In order to regulate the extent to which the valve can be depressed and consequently
also the depth to which the pen enters the ink, I form upon or attach to the underside
of the said valve a tubular shank f (as shewn in Figure 2) into which is inserted a
screw g. It is obvious that with this arrangement the valve can only be depressed a
distance corresponding to that between the lower end of the screw 9 and the bottom
of the bottle, and that this distance can be regulated by the adjustment of the
screw .
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.) In an ink-stand the combination with the cover of the spring valve forming an
automatic closing arrangement substantially as shown and for the purpose described.
(2.) In ink-stands of the kind referred to in the preceding claiming clause, the
means for regulating the depression of the valve, substantially as shown and for the
purposes described."

Portable Domestic Fire Extinguisher Apparatus.
I, THOMAS RALPH DOUSE, of 8 Holborn Viaduct, City 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
This invention relates to apparatus for domestic uses as a Fire Extinguisher.
The apparatus can be of any shape and be made to represent a short pedestal, a
chalice, a vase, a filter, a figure, a claret jug, a coffee pot, a candle holder, or other
article or ornament.
For the purpose of my invention, I construct an outer shell with the required
artistic, or other embellishment according to the position it has to occupy in a bed or
other room of a dwelling house, or an office. Within this vessel which is to contain
an alkali is another vessel for holding an acid and forms a separate chamber.
The outer vessel is provided with a screw or other cap and a small perforated
nozzle.
The height of the Alkali is such as not to interfere with any ordinary move-
ment, such as shifting or dusting the article, it being necessary for the article to
be inverted for the commingling of the contents of both vessels, at which time a
powerful gas is generated, and the liquid as a fire subduer is forced out in spray
form, from the nozzle, the article being directed to where the fire is situate for
the purpose intended.
The annexed drawings show an example of my invention in its simplest form.
Figure 1 elevation. Figure 2 section.
A, outer vessel containing an alkali.
B, inner vessel containing an acid.
C, foot ring for centralizing the vessel B.
D, screw cap on vessel A.
E, finely perforated nozzle thereon.
The invention as described has many advantages over existing portable fire
extinguishing apparatus, from
1. Its simplicity of construction.
2. Its artistic appearance.
3. Its readiness for action, and
4. Its effectiveness when wanted.
There are no parts to be released by hand prior to its use.
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 :-
As a Portable Domestic Fire Extinguishing Apparatus, the combination of two open
ended vessels arranged one within the other and containing an acid and an alkali
respectively for instantaneously generating a gas (by admixture of the liquids), the
force or power of which can be exerted on the liquid and cause it to issue in spray
form from the nozzle, as described.

Improvements in Boots and Shoes.
1, CHRISTIAN SACK of Königgrätzerstr., Berlin, in the German Empire, 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:
The improvements of this invention have for object to maintain boots and shoes
always dry in the inside, to ventilate them continuously by fresh air and to give the
wearer an elastic tread.
The accompanying drawing shews in part section a boot constructed in accordance
with this invention.
a is the inner sole or insole such as is usual in ordinary boots and shoes. To this
is fixed a metal plate b from which are stamped so as to project downwards therefrom
a number of tongues c of a curved ogee form. These bear against a second metal
plate d fixed to the upper surface of the bottom sole e. A leather edging f is carried
round the boot or shoe so as to enclose the space between the two metal plates band d
airtight this edging being the means for connecting the two soles together and which
is attached by sewing nailing or other ordinary means. Instead of the metal plate b
with tongues stamped therefrom, a number of spiral springs may be employed. For
the purpose of keeping the foot dry and for ventilation there is provided at the toe
end of the insole a an orifice o through which in walking the vitiated air will be drawn
from the inside of the boot without being able to return, as the orifice o upon the foot
being pressed down is closed by a valve p. The vitiated air passes through the space
comprised between band d to the heel whence it is forced through passages r, s, t,
into the outside air.
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. For the purpose of providing boots and shoes with an elastic sole or tread the
arrangement of a metal plate with tongues struck out to project therefrom between
insole and sole substantially as described and shewn.
2. For the purpose of keeping dry the insides of boots and shoes an orifice or
valve near the toe part of the insole and an arrangement at the heel part for
forcing the air out into the atmosphere substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in and relating to Pessaries.
I, JASON SAMUEL MCCANTS, of Talladega, in the County of Talladega, and State of
Alabama, United States of America, Medical Doctor, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in abdominal and uterine supporters and it
consists in certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
In the annexed drawings :-
Figure, 1, is a view of my improved device in its operative position.
Figure, 2, is a view showing different forms of the pessary.
In carrying out my invention I employ a belt, A, of elastic material and to this belt
I secure a series of depending elastic straps, B, to the lower ends of which an apron, C,
constructed preferably of hard rubber is attached. The belt and the apron are pro-
vided with eyelets or loops to which the ends of the elastic straps, E, which support
the pessary are attached and thereby secure the same in position."
The pessary consists of the cup, F, the stem (t, formed integral with the cup and
extending therefrom and the base, H, to which the straps, E, are secured as shown.
The base is provided with perforated lugs I, and a pivot-pin, J, is inserted through
the said lugs and a hole in the end of the stem G, so that the pessary can readily
accommodate itself to the position of the body. The base H is further provided
with perforations K through which the
straps E pass.
In practice, the belt is secured around the waist with the apron bearing on the
abdomen and the pessary is then applied.
it can
The device is very small and light and will not inconvenience the wearer ;
be easily applied and will be found very efficacious in the treatment of female dis-
orders. The cups of the pessaries are given different shapes according to the disease
to be treated and the advantages of the device are thought to be obvious.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved uterine supporter herein described and shown consisting of the
base, H, having the horizontal perforations, K, near their ends, the stem pivoted at
its lower end on said base, the cup formed integral with the upper end of the stem,
the elastic belt and the straps secured to the belt and passing through the perforations, K,
as set forth.

These preparations are obtained by extracting certain properties from the said nuts.
"Kolaine" is the substance obtained from these nuts and is the active ingredient
of both the medicine & food. I obtain this substance by pounding or otherwise
separating the nut, and soaking it in spirit or other solvent, until the "Kolaine"
sufficiently dissolved. It can then be used as a medicine with or without water, or it
may be mixed with wine or other stimulant. For food it could be mixed with
farinaceous or other substances suitable for dietetic
purposes.

I. RICHARD KEEN STEWART of 29 London Road, Reading Berks, Contractor,
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 consists in utilising the Kola or Cola nut by forming an extract of
its active principle.
This extract which I call "Kolaine" is obtained by macerating or crushing the
nuts and soaking them for a time in spirit or other solvent until the "Kolaine" is
sufficiently dissolved. The solution thus obtained forms an invigorating tonic, and
may be combined with wine or water, or mixed with other drugs to form a stimulating
and strengthening medicine.
For food purposes it may be combined with farinaceous or other suitable edible
substances in various ways.
The solution can of course be strained, or concentrated, or the Kolaine may be
separated from the spirit, and prepared as a powder or pill, or in any other well-known
way.
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 method of obtaining a solution or decoction of the Kola nut which shall
contain the active principle which I call "Kolaine," and the application thereof to
medicinal or dietetic purposes, as herein described and set forth.
