I THOMAS RODOLPHUS CROGER of 114 Wood Street, in the City of London,
Umbrella 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 :-
These cases which are ordinarily made of silk, vilsilk or the like are generally
secured by a piece of elastic or equivalent fixed to the top and provided with a ring
which fits over a button...
My improved fastening consists of a hoop or portion of a hoop of wire steel or
equivalent resilient material; this is secured to the case and may be sprung on
after the case is drawn on and keeps it fastened without the trouble or expense of
buttons &c.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a plan of the ring and Figure 2 an
elevation of a portion of an umbrella case with the ring in place.
The ring A is by preference made of a flat thin piece of steel pierced with
holes B one at each end by which it is secured to the silk or other case C which is
folded round it and stitched round at D.
The ring A has a tendency to close as in Figure 1 but may be opened out to slip
it over the umbrella, in Figure 2 it is shown slightly opened. The ring A need not
be a complete circle.
The umbrella may either be inserted into the case through the ring which would
be gradually opened out as it passed over the thicker part of the umbrella; or the
umbrella may be passed in through the slit E and the ring sprung on after the case
is pulled on.
The shape of the ring may be altered if required the thin flat form shown is
preferred as being most out of the way.
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. The method of fastening an umbrella case or cover by means of a resilient
ring or portion thereof substantially as specified.
2. The combination with an umbrella case or cover of a ring such as A
substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. As a means of fastening an umbrella case or cover the employment of a ring
such as A substantially as specified.

IMPROVEMENTS IN POLICE AND OTHER WHISTLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I JOSEPH HUDSON trading as J Hudson & Co of Barr Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Whistle and Military Ornament Maker do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN POLICE AND OTHER WHISTLES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being had to the
drawings hereunto annexed and to the letters and figures marked thereon that is
to say
These improvements have for their object the strengthening of the internal
arrangement of Police and other whistles of a similar character it having been
found that in cleaning the whistles of dust fluff or other foreign matter they often
are damaged, To do this I form the disc or diaphragm which crosses the barrel of
the whistle of a thin Sheet of metal but instead of soldering the edges to the barrel
as is usual I form it with two or more fangs turned at right angles to its plane so
that when inserted into the barrel these fangs lie along the inner surface of the
barrel and having a bearing against it add greatly to the strength and security
of the diaphragm, The disc or diaphragm having been inserted it is further secured
by soldering.
Referring to the drawings Fig 1 is a section through a whistle and Fig 2 a view
of the disc or diaphragm (a) is the diaphragm with its fangs (b).
I do not confine myself to the precise number or form of fangs or projecting
pieces shewn as this may be varied as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The strengthening of the internal arrangement of Police and other whistles of a
similar character by attaching to or forming upon the disc or diaphragm fangs or
projections whereby the disc or diaphragm is more securely held in position as
herein described and illustrated.

I, GEORGE HENRY HORRELL of 21 Phipps Street Great Eastern Street London EO
Mattress 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 mode I adopt for adjusting woven wire fabrics and stretching them on their
frames is by my invention of what I term a "guide-stop-nut" Fig. 1, of iron or
other metal and of any dimension I may desire, working in connexion with my
corner castings Fig. 2, of iron or other metal, which I have constructed to embrace
the wood sides of the mattresses and to receive the above mentioned "guide-stop-
nut" through vertical slots provided in both sides of the said castings and passing
through them and an horizontal slot cut out at the ends of the wood sides, on the
extreme end of the wood sides Fig. 3 I attach an iron casting with a hole in line
with the said slot cut in the wood sides, through which the tension screw-
bolt Fig: 4 works in position for passing into the "guide-stop-nut." I obtain &
powerful purchase by the direct action of the screw-bolt and the "guide-stop-nut
which draws equally on both sides of the corner casting in central line of the
wood sides.
"
Having performed the above I proceed to set up the mattress in the following
manner. f pass the end of the wood side through the front of the corner casting
until the slots in the casting are in line with the slot in the wood side. I then
insert the "guide-stop-nut" through casting and wood side which acts as a "stop
preventing the woven-wire top from receding and holding the whole mattress
securely in position for being stretched.
"
The "guide-stop-nut" is tapped and screwed in its centre and now acts as a
"nut" receiving the screw-bolt which is inserted horizontally through the hole in
the end casting and along the slot cut in the wood sides, and by which the woven-
wire top is drawn out to the required tension for use as shewn in Fig. 5.
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
The novelty in my invention of what I have termed a "guide-stop-nut" applied
in connexion with and working through both sides of "corner casting" and side of
the mattress frame.
AUTOMATIC LOCKFAST BREAK FOR PERAMBULATORS
Year: 1885

page_text: WILLIAM CHARLES BRETT Gas, Steam & Hot water Engineer 45 High Street
Homerton in the County of Middlesex, I do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for AUTOMATIC LOCKFAST BREAK FOR PERAMBULATORS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention is devised to supply a want not usually provided for in any shape
or form by makers of perambulators, but the provision of which is very necessary
to reduce the possibilities of accidents happening to the little occupants of those
vehicles through the carelessness or inadvertence of persons in charge-To perfectly
gaurd against these causes by means of a break, the same must be simple, auto--
matic, & unfailing in its action, & I claim to have met these requirements in my
invention, which I now proceed to describe in detail, remarking however that
modifications & alterations in form may be made without departing from the real
principles of this invention.
Upon the ordinary metal framework in rear of the Perambulator I pivot,
preferably by a bolt or rivet, a rod of iron or other suitable material curved to the
required shape, one end of the rod being carried downwards to the inside of the
wheel of the vehicle & then bent off at right angles towards the wheel, and the
other end brought upwards to within close proximity to the driving handle-In
other words my break may be described as a lever with the fulcrum about the
centre, and at a convenient part of this lever or rod I attach a weight or spirng for
the purpose of taking the lower end of the lever or rod into position between the
spokes of the wheel-It will thus be evident that a person to propel the vehicle
must first push over the upper end of lever and so disengage the lower end-The
moment the hand is removed from the Perambulator handle the spring or weight
again pulls the lever into the wheel & so locks it.
The break may be made duplex in its action by repeating the arrangement with
slight modification upon the other side of the vehicle, & connecting the two parts
by a loose joint between them.

page_text: A is the fulcrum.
B is the weight.
C is the handle end of rod.
D is the lower end of rod bent for projecting into wheel.
Having now particularly described & 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 Break having an arm for stopping the wheel by projecting between the
spokes thereof, substantially as set forth & shown.
2. A rod or arm, substantially as set forth & shown, for engaging the wheel or
any part thereof.
IMPROVEMENTS IN FEEDWATER HEATERS OF STEAM ENGINE AND BOILERS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES WOMERSLEY, Print Steamer Littletown, Liversedge, in the county of
Yorkshire do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
FEEDWATER HEATERS OF STEAM ENGINE AND BOILERS to be as follows:-
I shall take the water from the boiler pump in the ordinary way, but instead of
sending it to the boiler in a cool state, I propose to carry it (water) through a
quantity of pipes in the exhaust steam, before the steam comes to the condencer.
So that what I claim, is, to utilize the heat of the steam of a condencing steam
engine, between the cylinder and condencer.

COLLIERY RAILROAD, TRAMWAY AND LIKE RAILS, OR BARS 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 constructing rolls for rolling rail ends of ordinary
rails into colliery railroad, tramway and like rails, or bars in such a manner that
the rails put through the rolls are reduced in both directions, namely vertically in
the direction of the web in one operation. This is effected by constructing the
rolls with grooves which are cut in the rolls diagonally to the train-line in such a
manner that the under roll has a collar on one side of the groove and the upper
roll is provided with a collar which comes at the opposite end of the groove. By
this arrangement and construction of rolls the rail ends put through the rolls are
reduced in both ways vertically and in the direction of the web in one operation,
by which every part of the rail section is touched by the rolls.
The accompanying sheet of Drawings illustrates the construction of the rolls
according to this Invention.
Figures 1. 2 and 3 are vertical sections of portions of rolls constructed according
to this Invention sufficient to explain the nature of the Invention to any one skilled
in the art to which it belongs. Like letters denote the same, or corresponding
parts throughout the figures.
In the Drawings A is the under roll. B is the upper roll. a are the grooves,
which are cut in the rolls A and B diagonally to the train-line in such a manner
that the under roll A has collars b at one side of its grooves a, and the upper
roll B has collars d on the opposite side of its grooves a.
The rail-ends are put
through the grooves a and in rolling are reduced both ways vertically in the
direction of the web in one operation, every part of the rail section being touched
by the rolls A and B.

page_text: The Drawings show the rolls with grooves formed to roll various sections of
rails, but it will be evident that the rolls can be formed with their grooves a made
to roll other sections of rails without departing from this Invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
First Constructing rolls with grooves such as a set diagonally to the train-line
and with collars b and d as and for the purposes set forth.
Second The combination of grooves, and collars, of rolls as set forth for the
purposes described.

Vincent Street, in the City of Glasgow, Chemical Engineers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention consists in employing as the carbonaceous constituent of gun-
powder the substance known as lignite or brown coal either alone or in admixture
with vegetable char. By substituting this substance for the vegetable char
commonly employed in the manufacture of gunpowder a smaller proportion of
sulphur may be used. We prefer to employ lignite which is comparatively free
from materials which result in the production of ash, and we use it in a finely
pulverised state. The process of manufacture of the gunpowder is carried out in
the usual way, the proportion of lignite used being about the same as that of the
char or other carbonaceous matter for which it is substituted.

An Improved Hoop and Driving Handle for Children.
I, ROBERT JAQUES of F. King Street, in the City and County of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED
HOOP AND DRIVING HANDLE FOR CHILDREN, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My invention consists in constructing a hoop and driving handle in one, so as
that the hoop cannot overrun the child driving it.-I arrange this by forming the
handle with a loop at one end which loop embraces the rim of the hoop so as to be
inseperable from it.-The hoop is thus free to run so long as it is followed by the
handle but is not detachable from it.-One object of my Invention is to prevent
risk to children whose hoops when not captive may run into a carriage way for
instance and lead the child into danger.
In the drawing A. B. Fig. 1, is the handle of the hoop which consists of an iron
rod A. in a wooden handle B.-The iron rod of the handle is turned round into
a ring as shewn at A. so as to embrace the rim of the hoop and to be inseperable
from it. This may be done by bringing the end into contact or very nearly so
with the stem as shewn in Fig. 1. or by welding together as shewn in Fig. 2. or in
any other convenient way.-In the construction of the hoop I prefer to make it
in the ordinary way as a ring of round iron welded, the handle being fitted after
the hoop is complete.
Fig. 3. is a drawing of the hoop and handle complete.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to performed I declare that what
I claim is
The construction of a Hoop and driving handle for children, so as that the
handle shall be permanently attached to the hoop substantially as described,
instead of being seperate as is usual.

IMPROVEMENTS IN COOKING UTENSILS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES CLARKSON of 175 High Street New Brentford, in the County
of Middlesex, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN COOKING UTENSILS, to be as follows:-
By constructing utensils for cooking Bread and other articles, by means of hot
water and steam, or by steam only, for this purpose a mould is made with a raised
bottom, and fitted with a sliding lid, from three to six inches deep, the operation is
performed by filling the mould with the ingredients to be cook'd, and putting on
the lid so that it comes into contact with the contents of the mould, when the heat
is applied, it expands the gas contained in the dough, and causes the lid to rise
similar to the action of a gasometer, and continues to do so, until the force of the
gas is exhausted, this is particularly useful for making Bread, Cakes and other
articles where baking powders are used.

page_text: Improvements in Cooking Utensils.
I, CHARLES CLARKSON of 175 High Street Brentford, in the County of Middlesex
Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
COOKING UTENSILS, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
By the construction of utensils for the purpose of baking bread and other
articles by means of boiling water and steam, or by steam only, for this purpose
a tin mould is made with a raised bottom, an inch or more higher than the bottom
edge of the mould, the upper part being of a capacity to hold the quantity of
dough or other ingredients to be operated upon, a lid of a telescopic form and from
three to six inches deep is made that fits the mould sufficiently loose to slide easily
up and down it, so that when the contents of the mould are subjected to the heat
of boiling water or steam there is no obstruction to the contents rising by the
expansion of the carbonic acid gas contained in the ingredients operated upon.
The mode of operation is to make a dough for bread, cakes, or puddings by the
usual methods, and put into the mould the quantity intended to be cooked, when
sufficiently risen the lid is put on, and the mould placed in the saucepan, containing
the proper quantity of boiling water to cook it, during the time the article takes to
cook, the gas expands, the dough swells, and the lid rises similar to the action of a
gasometer until the force of the gas is expended, the result being a well baked loaf
of bread or other article, with a dry even crust all over.
What I claim as new, is the construction of a mould by means of which, bread,
or other articles can be thoroughly baked, in a saucepan with boiling water or
steam instead of in an oven.

Warwick, Pressure, Vacuum, Hydraulic, Blast, and Water Gauge Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for PRESSURE, VACUUM AND
HYDRAULIC GAUGES ALSO BAROMETERS, to be as follows:-
A Corrugated Seamless Tube consisting of ten corrugations more or less each of
which takes part in longitudinal expansion or contraction which forms the motive
power of the Gauges and Barometers. Formerly a Seam Tube being used for the
purpose The Pressure of Steam or Water acts upon the Tube causing it to expand
in the case of Pressure Gauges; in the case of Vacuum Gauges the air being
exhausted the Tube contracts; and in all cases the Tube acts as the motive power.
The Tube is connected to a lever attatched to a Sector acting on a pinion on which
is an indicating hand which shows on a Dial.

Vacuum Gauge Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
PRESSURE GAUGES, VACUUM GAUGES, AND BAROMETERS 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 of a seamless corrugated tube consisting of a number
of corrugations which forms the motive power of the gauges; in the case of
Pressure Gauges the pressure admitted into the corrugated tube causing it to
expand in a vertical direction; in a Vacuum Gauge the Vacuum created causes the
corrugated tube to contract; in Barometers the pressure of the atmosphere causes
the corrugated tube to expand or contract according to the variations in the
pressure of the atmosphere. The movement of the corrugated tube is communi-
cated by a lever to a sector which causes a pinion with a pointer or finger attached
to move and indicate on a graduated and figured dial. The whole of the works are
enclosed in a metal case.

page_text: GEORGE BLAKE 54 Thornhill Road, Barnsbury in the Parish of St Mary
Islington in the county of Middlesex Metal Worker do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for AN IMPROVED SASH FASTENER to be as follows:-
An improved Turn Buckle Sash Fastener, T handle, having a nut which fastens
the buckle to the spindle to which it is securely fixed by a set screw, which
prevents the nut becoming loose by the constant working backwards & forwards
of the buckle. The Buckle can be easily fixed to sashes varying in thickness,
without having to be specially fitted, the nut being so arranged that it can be
regulated to a quarter of a turn thereby making it easily adjustable.
The Pin on the back plate is so regulated by a shoulder on the back side of the
buckle which only allows the handle to turn up and down.

IMPROVED VESSELS FOR KEEPING COOL AND PRESERVING FOOD
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HENRY THOMAS JOHNSON Willow Bank Urmston near Manchester in the.
County of Lancaster Sanitary Surveyor and Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for IMPROVED VESSELS FOR KEEPING COOL AND PRESERVING
FOOD 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 the providing of food vessels or receptacles
which shall keep the food cool and free from the contamination of the atmosphere.
In carrying into effect my invention 1 employ outer and inner vessels or
receptacles of varying sizes and forms such as jugs, Bowls, Basins, plates and dishes
and constructed either wholly or partially of chinaware, Pottery ware, earthenware,
stoneware or metal.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. No 1-represents a section of a jug, and its
container, Fig. No 2 represents a section of a dish or plate and its container.
-
The inner vessels A which shall contain the food rest upon a support B in the
bottom of the container or outer vessel C. The outer vessel to be filled with water
to near the top, surrounding the sides and bottom of the inner vessel, A lid or
cover D either fixed or loose covers the outer vessel and has an under flauge E
which dips partially into the water, thereby effecting a sealed trap protecting
effectually the food in the inner vessel from the atmosphere (disinfectants may be
used in the water if required).
I therefore claim for my invention to provide improved vessels for keeping Cool
and preserving food from the heat and other influences of the atmosphere, discase
germs, foreign matters floating in the atmosphere, the bad air of compartments in
which food may be kept, and the infection of sick rooms by protecting the inner or
food vessels with a surrounding of water or other fluid contained in an outer vessel
with a flanged lid, the flange dipping into the water thereby effecting an effectual
water seal or trap.

page_text: We, JOSEPH WHITBY of Yeovil, Somersetshire, Glove Manufacturer, and
WILLIAM WILKINSON, of 21 Cromwell Street, in the town and county of the
town of Nottingham, Hosiery Finisher, 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:—
Heretofore fabrics for linings of gloves, have been made with a cotton back, and
a cotton front, or a cotton back and a wool front, or a silk front, such fabric after
being passed through a brushing machine presents the appearance of a fabric
having a cotton back with a fleecy cotton, wool or silk front. Our improved
lining we make in a warp machine in the following manner; we employ two
thread guide bars working in the usual way one bar carries a full set of guides
each provided with a cotton thread with which the back of the fabric is formed,
the other bar carries a half full set of guides, but instead of providing the whole
of such guides with either cotton, wool or silk of two or more colours placed
alternately, we provide two or more such guides with silk threads, and then two or
more of the next adjacent guides on each side with wool threads, silk threads and
wool threads, being alternately placed the whole length of the bar, if the silk and
wool are of different colours after the fabric is made, and is passed through a
brushing machine it presents the appearance of a cotton backed fabric having a
fleecy front of two or more colours of silk and wool alternately placed, the coloured
stripes so produced being much more distinct than if the fleecy front was all cotton
or all wool.
Or instead of providing the half full set of guides with threads of silk and wool
we provide two or more such guides with threads of cotton of one colour, then two
or more of the next adjacent guides with threads of wool of another colour, sets of
cotton threads and wool threads being alternately placed the whole length of the
bar, which working with a bar having a full set of guides each provided with a
cotton thread, will produce a fabric which after being passed through a brushing
machine will present the appearance of a cotton backed fabric having a fleecy front
of two or more colours of cotton and wool alternately placed, the coloured stripes
so produced, also being much more distinct than if the fleecy front was all cotton
or all wool.

page_text: The above described silk and wool fleecy front as well as the cotton and wool
fleecy front have each the firmness and warmth of a wool front besides having a
richer appearance than a front of all cotton or all wool.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1st A glove lining having a cotton back and a fleecy front, of silk and wool in
alternate stripes, substantially as described..
2nd A glove lining having a cotton back and a fleecy front of cotton and wool in
alternate stripes substantially as described.

An improved Cover or Envelope for School or other Slates.
Year: 1885

page_text: An improved Cover or Envelope for School or other Slates.
I, HENRY GEORGE BOORN-THOMPSON, of 27 Ducie St Chorlton-on-Medlock
Manchester in the County of Lancaster, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved cover or envelope for school or other slates,
and has for its object to prevent the home lessons of children, or other marks or
writing as the case may be, done upon their slates, from being rubbed off, washed
out by rain or otherwise made illegible, and to enable the children to present their
lessons to their teachers in good order, to be readily read, by which means a great
saving of an infinity of pain, trouble and affliction to thousands of school children
and their teachers is obtained.
The invention consists in producing a cover or envelope made of any water-
proof material, with or without a foundation of paper, or of other very light
material, but preferably and for cheapness, I make them of brown paper and
leatherline (ie. imitation leather).
This envelope or cover may be made of the various sizes usually adopted for
school slates, or so much larger, as readily to allow of such slates being slipped onto
the bottom end, which is entirely open, the top being closed with the exception of
an opening about one inch long to admit of the suspending string being easily
slipped through it, when placing the slate into the inverted envelope or cover.
Having now 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
A cover or envelope for school or other slates made of any water-proof material,
with or without a foundation of paper or other very light material, the bottom end
of which is entirely open and the top end being either closed or formed with a
small opening.
A New or Improved Parallel Vice with Taper Motion.

.3
I JOSEPH SAMUEL LAYCOCK ASHFORTH of Bruce Works Sheffield in the County
of York, Vice &c. manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
A NEW OR IMPROVED PARALLEL VICE WITH TAPER MOTION to be as follows:
The back jaw and body of this vice are made in one solid forging by which
great strength is obtained. The front or movable jaw & slide are also made in one
solid forging consequently there are no bolts to give way nor lose. The Parallel
motion is the same as in vices of the old construction being obtained by means of
the box & screw marked "A" in the sketch, the slide "B" moving in a slot or
hole in the body of the back jaw "C" of which the sides are perfectly parallel
thus
which keeps the front jaw quite true in its working backwards
and forwards.
The Taper Motion (which is the great feature in this vice) is obtained by
releasing the thumbscrew "D" & taking out the wedge "E" which causes one of
the sides of the slot or hole in the body of the back jaw "C" to become taper
thus
which imparts a taper motion and grip to the front jaw, &
permits it to close firmly on any taper article & so hold it securely without fear of
slipping.
