JOHN HARFORD, Little King Street, Bristol, Colonial Broker, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
A safety locking nut and bolt for the purpose of preventing the nuts on screw
bolts from unscrewing when in use on bicycles or other machinery where there is
vibration.
The bolt is made with four longitudinal grooves as shown at A in drawing
herewith; the nut has two square slots cut as at B and B in which the springs
of the lock D, and D fit. The lock is a steel circle as at F of 1 in. thickness
more or less with four teeth as at E and E which slides in to the grooves of A
after the nut is screwed up and locks on th nut by springs D and D is also held
in place by the two screws as at C and C thus preventing the nut from coming off.

Improvement in Locking Nuts and Bolts.
JOHN HARFORD, Little King Street, Bristol, Colonial Broker, 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:-
A locking nut to prevent the nuts coming off screw bolts when used in any
vibrating machinery such as bicycles and the like. The bolt has 4 grooves cut
longtitudinally as at A in which tho teeth on the cap at E fit in after the nut is
screwed up. The cap E is sprung on the out side of the nut. The two springs
at D are sprung into the alot on the nut at B the slot being scored with an inward
bevel prevents the cap from coming off at the same time locking the nut so that
it is imposible to come off. There are also two small screws as at c to be used
where there happens to be extra vibration as per those drawings left with Provi-
sional Specification.
The meaning of the words "inward bevel" are that the slot in the nut at "B"
is cut deeper on the under side than on the top, thus forming a dove-tail for the
spring "D"
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. That the invention is my own, and that the same is original,

page_text: 2nd. That this lock nut if used will prevent any nut coming off a bolt when in
иве.
3rd. Securing the nuts of bolts absolutely from unsorewing.

Year: 1897

page_text: We, RUDOLPH NEIDER, Technician, and REINHOLD COLBERG, Manufacturer, both of
83 Kirchstrasse Leipzig, Neustadt in the German Empire, 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 application relates to an improved lubricating apparatus.
The automatic lubricators in which the oil or fat is pressed gradually out of the
holder by means of a piston impelled by a spring, have the drawback that this'
propulsion in consequence of the unequal spring pressure is too great at the
commencement, which results in waste of lubricating material.
this drawback we have devised the following invention:-
In order to obviate
It consists essentially in having the motion of the piston at the commencement
checked or braked and this by means of a power which gradually decreases in
proportion as the expansion of the spring progresses, so that the feed results as
uniformly as possible. Such a lubricator with brake mechanism is illustrated in the
accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 shows the same partly in section partly in elevation.
Figure 2 shows a section upon lines x-y of Figure 1.
As may be seen in this drawing an elastic ring a sits loosely upon the rod b of
the piston d actuated by the spiral spring c which rod is guided by the lid of the
lubricator. When the container is filled the elastic ring is pushed so far over the
wires e el fixed in an inclined position to the piston rcd, until the ring rests upon
the narrow ring of the cover; hereby its diameter and consequently also its extension
are increased. If now by means of corresponding turning on the lubricator cover the
slots ff thereof (Figure 2) are brought into correspondence with the wires e e¹, then
the stretched pin c can act and the piston d with its rod b moves downwards ; during
this motion the ring a slides upon the wires e el upwards again and the power with
which it acts against the pressure of the spring c and consequently checks the
notion of the piston, is diminished correspondingly to the diminution in its
diameter, so that consequently throughout the first part of the course of the piston
a given proportion exists between the impelling and the checking force.
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 :—
1. The automatic lubricating apparatus characterised by the checking of the
motion of the piston under the influence of a spring by means of a force which
gradually diminishes for the purpose of preventing excessive pressure at the
commencement of the motion.
2. A modification of the apparatus claimed in Claim 1 in which the checking of

page_text: the motion of the piston d is effected by means of an elastic ring a the tension of
which decreases that of the piston spring c, and which slides upon the wires e e¹ fixed
at an angle to the piston rod b.

I, FLORENCE DIANA JARVIS, of 1, Orlando Road, Clapham Common, in the
County of Surrey, Artist, Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
The improvement consists of combining what is known as a divided skirt &
knickerbockers in one garment-for cycling or any wear-In place of the knicker-
bockers shaped pieces of material are substituted which are fastened to the inside
of the skirts at a suitable height & through these the legs of the wearer pass, so
forming a knickerbockered garment attached to the divided skirts.
Dated this the 19th day of November 1897.
I, FLORENCE DIANA JARVIS, of 1, Orlando Road, Clapham Common, in the
County of Surrey, Artist, Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The improvement consists in combining what is known as divided skirts and
knickerbockers in one garment, for cycling or any wear for which such a gar-
ment is desirable-In place of the knickerbockers shaped pieces of material are
substituted. These shaped pieces are fastened to the inside of the divided skirts
at a suitable height; through each of these pieces there are holes to admit the legs
of the wearer, so forming a knickerbockered garment--The leg-holes in the shaped
pieces may be fastened below the knee, & secured by straps, buttons, elastic or
in any well known manner-From the foregoing it will be fully understood that
this garment is a combination, having the advantages of knickerbockers with the
appearance of a skirt-To insure that these advantages are fully recognized, the
cutting of the skirt is arranged to form deep pleats in order to hide the division
of the skirts; the pleats are stitched that they may retain a pleasing position.
The divided skirt being made, all that is necessary for the purposes of my inven-
tion is to insert a shaped piece of material in each skirt having substantially the
form of Figure A, which may be slightly modified to suit individual wearers
These shaped pieces are fastened to the inside of the skirts as in Figure B-It will
be seen that the position of the shaped pieces may vary with the length of the

page_text: skirt Figure C represents a front view of the skirt, & Figure D represents the
back view of the skirt.
This garment presents such a pleasing appearance & has so great a similarity
to an ordinary skirt that when worn it excites no comment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the said is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The formation of a new garment by the insertion of shaped pieces of material
in divided skirts substantially as described.

Improved Appliance to Prevent Spilling in Vessels Containing
Liquids.
We, THOMAS WILLIAM ALLAN and ANDREW GEORGE ADAMSON of the Firm
of Allan & Adamson, Limited, of 88, and 90, Tabernacle Street, London,
Electrical Engineers, 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 appliance for preventing spilling in vessels
containing liquids and is more particularly applicable to electric accumulators or
primary batteries in which gases are formed which require an outlet to escape.
The appliance is in the form of a stopper through which the gas can escape,
but which prevents the liquid splashing, running, or oozing out.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect we have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings in the several figures of
which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is an end view partly in section and
Figure 2 is a side view partly in section of the improved stopper.
Figure 3 represents the stopper applied to a vessel.
The lower part of the stopper is made of vulcanite or other material in two
pieces A, B. The lower part A is a tube which fits into the opening in the cover
of the accumulator or other vessel and the upper part B is a cover having a small
hole b in the top which allows the gas to escape. Resting on the top of the tube A
there is a light ball C, which may be of lead or any other suitable metal or
material. This piece C may be in the form of a loose fitting plug with a flange on
the top. An india-rubber tube D fits on to the cover B. The upper part of this
india-rubber tube is flattened as shewn in Figure 1. As the gas is generated in
the accumulator or other apparatus, it forces itself past the ball or loose fitting
plug C through the small hole b in the cover B and escapes between the flattened
sides of the india-rubber tube but the liquid is prevented from splashing out by the
various obstructions in the plug, whilst, if the vessel were to be overturned any
liquid attempting to escape would produce a partial vacuum which would tightly
close the flattened end of the rubber tube and thus prevent air gaining access
to the vessel in which case it would be impossible for the liquid to run out.
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 :-
The improved stopper for vessels containing liquid which allows gases to escape
but prevents the liquid splashing or running out, substantially as described and
illustrated.

Improvements in Blades for Skates.
I, RICHARD BECKER of Remscheid, Rhine Province, 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 :-
The blades of certain kinds of skates are made hollow on the tread-surface, so
that the two lateral edges project slightly relatively to the central part of the
tread-surface. In use, these projecting edges naturally wear out more than the
central part so that the whole surface becomes flat. After having been in use for
a long time, the edges are worn so far, that the central part of the tread-surface
projects, and the tread-surface appears rounded.
The present invention relates to a blade for skates, in which the outer lateral
edges are formed of or provided with steel, so as to provide hardened edges. The
central portion of the blade being of iron remains soft. The steel facing is effected
by welding on narrow strips of steel on both sides of the blade at the lower end as
shown in the accompanying drawing, which represents a cross-section of a blade
according to the present invention. The wear of this blade with steel-edges A
will be uniform, so that the tread-surface always remains hollow, as the soft middle
portion B gets correspondingly worn out during use.
Blades with the whole tread-
surface of steel have the disadvantage of easily breaking when being hardened so
that a comparatively large percentage of blades is wasted.
The blades with steel-edges according to the present invention may be hardened
without fear of breakage.
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 :-
1. A blade for skates in which the sides of the lower tread-surface are formed
of steel, and the central portion of iron, substantially as and for the purpose
described.
2. A skate blade consisting of a central part of iron and outside wearing
surfaces of hardened steel, substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.

page_text: I, HANS KIENAST, of 58 Hochstrasse, Crefeld, in the Empire of Germany,
Apothecary, 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 peculiarly made bandage, which serves for preventing
rheumatic attacks.
The bandages, which are made in various forms for the different parts of the
body, consist. essentially of raw silk cloth not finished.
The bandage is quilted with a correspondingly more or less thick layer of raw
silk wadding, so that a soft stuffing is produced which covers the part of the body
and which on account of the bad heat conducting properties of the silk protects
the such part against changes of temperature and in consequence is able to afford
a healing or remedial influence.
In consequence of the closed form of the bandage fitted to the corresponding
part of the body, this bandage can be secured immovably either by means of bands
or tapes or by means of safety pins or the like and the under clothing can be pulled
over it, in this there lies the novelty of the invention.
Hitherto each warming bandage had to be fastened by means of bands which
hindered wholly or for the greater part the movement of the part of the body
covered by them and which had also to be renewed in the morning and in the
evening.
The method of making the bandage, which according to necessity can be
provided with more or less loose raw silk wadding stuffing, may differ, also the
manner of arranging the bands, which serve for fastening the bandage or which
also may be partly or completely dispensed with.
The annexed drawing, illustrates in Fig. 1 a flat bandage and in Fig. 2 a bandage
for the foot made according to this invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
An improved bandage for prevention or treatment of rheumatism, in different
sizes and in a form fitted to the corresponding parts of the body, the outer surfaces
of which consist of layers of raw silk, between which raw silk wadding is inserted
more or less loosely and held by means of quilting or in any other manner,
correspondingly arranged bands or equivalent means being provided for fastening
the bandage on the body.

of this invention to be as follows:-
The pipe in question is so constructed that the inside of bowl is entirely reversed
in relation to the outside which retains its usual appearance.
The inside of bowl (as reversed) becomes a dome shaped stove as it were, the
passage for the smoke leads from the top of the dome & passing down within the
thickness of the material of which the bowl may be composed joins the passage
in the stem & then through the mouth-piece in the usual way, thus forming a
syphon and preventing the nicotine from passing into the stem. There is a metal
plate hinged to the bottom of the bowl to prevent the ashes falling out this plate
is perforated so as to admit of the air being drawn in after the tobacco is lighted,
also a metal cap screws on top of bowl to cover entrance to air passages.

JOHN MITCHELL, Aston, near Stone, Staffordshire, Designer, 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 pipe has the inside of bowl inverted in relation to the outside of pipe
(Fig. 1) (the same arrangement is adaptable when the bowl is not inverted)
(Fig. 2). The air passage A joins the airpassage B in wall of bowl at C. B opens
out at D. More than one passage is made through the top of bowl Fig. 1, at E
(see plan) (a light metal or other covering of corresponding section can be fixed
on E (see plan) to prevent any moisture being absorbed by the wooden or other
porous bowl). Thus when the air-tight cap F is put on & the pipe in use the
smoke passes from the bowl by way of E through G (which is a wool or other, wad
or pellet) into the space around the underside of cap F down B at D & up A at C
in the usual way. H is a perforated cap part metal & part horn or other non-
conductor of heat, hinged on to bowl to prevent ashes falling out & yet admitting
air. Thus it will be seen that a chamber or box in which can be placed an inter-
cepting & antiseptic wad G, is fixed at top Fig. 1 (or bottom Fig. 2) into which
is drawn the smoke, & when required F can be removed & the chamber wiped out,
a fresh wad inserted, & the pipe prevented from becoming foul.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1st. The novelty in the arrangement of air-passages in the bowl & their mode
of connection & disconnection with & from the air passage to the stem, which is
performed by placing or removing cap F.
2nd. The adaptability of this arrangement to several forms of pipe in common
use with slight alteration in their general appearance.

page_text: deffected by the peculiar shape of the cutter (Fig. 6).
The head c and the counter
plate dare made preferably of cast iron and the cutting tools b of steel.
In order to cut several holes at the same time with this appliance several are
placed radially beside each other as shown for example in Figs. 7 and 8. For this
purpose a strong iron plate o is suitably fixed on one side to the frame of the lathe
and on the other to the wall or ceiling, and this iron plate is traversed by the
lathe head spindle e which serves as a bearing for the shafts 12, 13, 14, 15. On these
shafts the cutting and pressing appliances 11, III, IV, V, are supported on one side
and on the other, the toothed wheels m², m³, m', m³, the latter engaging with the
toothed wheel m on the lathe head spindle c.
The counter plate is made of a suitable size for these appliances and is fitted
with corresponding grooves and studs h. In this way several holes can be cut
simultaneously in a metal plate placed on the studs and the plate as well as the
discs cut out be appropriately shaped.
It is an easy matter to arrange in the way described above, and which every
man in the trade is acquainted with, more than 5 cutting and pressing appliances
which can be worked in the same way by toothed wheel gear. They may also be
driven in the usual way by conical gear or by chains and toothed wheels. Further
this arrangement enables different sized holes to be cut simultaneously if the
appliances described are used of different sizes.
"
Finally it should be observed that the face plate of a lathe may be used as a
substitute for the head by fitting it with a groove f in which the knives b would
revolve round axles g.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is;-
1. An appliance for cutting discs out of metal sheets and at the same time
deflecting the edges of the holes and dises the characteristics of which are the
cutting tools b pivoted in the circular groove f of a rotating head c which tools cut
through a sheet placed on an axially movable counter plated when the latter moves
forward and at the same time deflect the edges cut in accordance with the shape of
the knives themselves substantially as described.
2. An appliance for cutting discs out of metal sheets constructed and arranged
substantially as described and shown.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Perforating Cigars.
I, WILHELM HEIDELMANN, Manufacturer, residing at Stuttgart, Haufstrasse 2,
Kingdom of Württemberg, Empire of 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 present invention relates to an apparatus for making a hole through the
point of a cigar in order to avoid cutting off the end.
Fig. 9 of the annexed drawing represents a cigar thus perforated.
The advantages of this process are that the cigar is not damaged when being
prepared for smoking, that the smoker gets no little pieces of tobacco into his
mouth, and that the nicotine deposits within the hole and does not come into
contact with the tongue of the smoker.
The apparatus consists of a socket-body k which is so formed that the point of
the cigar will fit in, the same is made either in one piece as shown by Figs. 1 to 3,
7 to 8, or in two pieces (Figs. 4 to (i) (k¹³).
At the end of this socket a lever h is arranged turnable by means of a bolt m.
The lever can be pressed off from the socket by means of a spring f until a nose a
touches the socket-body. At the free end of the lever h a pin d is provided which
can pass through holes in the socket-body k when the lever his pressed (Figs. 1
and 4). Thus when a cigar S is put with its point into the socket, and the lever h
is pressed (Figs. 1 and 4) the pin pressed through the point of the cigar makes a
hole through it, and when the pin has been allowed to come out again the cigar
is perforated and ready to be smoked (Fig. 9). Figs. 7 and
show the apparatus
in combination with a cigar-lighter, g being the support for the gas or benzene-
lamp, h the single-arm lever which in this case also acts as key-lever,
d the pin, and f the spring in its functions as afore-described.
In a like manner the same apparatus can be combined with an ash-tray, match-
box, or the like.
the socket,
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. An apparatus for perforating cigars at their point, consisting of a socket
formed to receive the cigar-point, and a swinging lever provided at its free end
with a pin which passes through holes of the socket-body substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.
2. In an apparatus for perforating cigars, with swinging, lever and pin passing
through holes in the socket-body, the arrangement of the socket consisting of
two parts hinged together and formed according to the cigar-point, substantially
as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In apparatus for perforating cigars consisting of sockets made in one

Improvements in Holders for, Pencils and the like.
I, JOHN COLIN LIVINGTON CAMPBELL, Major R.E., of Achalader, Blairgowrie, North
Britain, 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 facilitate the retention of a pencil or the like in
loops such as are usually attached to pocket books.
According to this invention a strip of india rubber or the like is held by one side
between the two edges of the material forming the loop, the other side projecting into
the loop. The ends of the portion of the strip of india rubber projecting into the
loop are cut obliquely. It is preferred to use vulcanised india rubber as pure india
rubber adheres rather too strongly to the pencil.
The drawing annexed to the specification shews a holder made in accordance with
this invention.
Figure 1 is a section on an enlarged scale showing the method of fastening the
strip to the cover of a pocket book.
Figure 2 is a side view of the strip of india rubber.
a is the cover of the pocket book. b and are the two edges of the material
forming the loop, holding between them the strip of india rubber c. d is a piece of
material which attaches the edges of loop to the cover.
Figure 2 shews the strip c with the ends c² cut obliquely.
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. A holder for pencils and the like consisting of a loop with a strip of india rubber
or the like projecting into it substantially as described.
2. A holder for pencils and the like substantially as described and shown in the
drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Lamp Shades and the like.
We, ALBERT HENRY ENTWISTLE, and HENRY JOSEPH STEPHENS, both of 10 Gray's
Inn Road, London W.C., Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our said
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 our invention is to effect an improvement in lamp shades and
the like.
According to our invention we place upon and secure to the central portion of the
frame, an ornament representing a crown or coronet, formed of metal or any other
suitable material or combination of materials; whereby the same is rendered more
sightly than hitherto. This ornamental addition may be manufactured in various
colours, forms, and styles, and is especially suitable for the shades and reflectors
of incandescent lamps, but is equally adaptable to all descriptions of lamp and candle
shades.
And in order that our said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one
example of our invention, and in which a is a side view of the wire frame of an
ordinary shade, and b is a side view of an ornamental coronet fitted to the upper
part of the frame.
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 we
claim is :-
In lamp shades and the like, the combination therewith of a superposed ornament
partaking of the character and appearance of a crown or coronet, substantially as
herein before described and illustrated by the drawing.

sockets commonly used and also to secure a better hold and facility of adjustment.
Reference is hereinafter made to the accompanying drawings in illustration of
my said invention.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a straight adjustable bracket.
Fig. 2 is a plan showing an adjustable angle bracket standing sideways for
curtain upholstery and a straight bracket or support for blinds.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on x-x of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section having an adjustable angle bracket above and
also a straight one.
Under the word bracket or support is to be understood nails, bolts, or the like
objects.
According to my said invention a hollow wall socket a is cast in one piece with a
raised boss b. Besides the cavity c in the direction of the length in the boss and
the wall socket the boss itself has a horizontal passage d and a vertical passage e.
These three openings c d e are provided with screwed holes in which are fitted
clamping screws for securing the brackets in suitable positions.
The wall socket a is notched corrugated fluted or otherwise roughened on the
outside in order to obtain a better hold in the wall and owing to the varied
positions and directions in which the brackets can be secured to the socket it is
adapted not only for curtains and blinds but also for shop windows, stores, and
similar purposes in which an adjustment of the brackets in different directions is
desirable.
The arrangement of the three openings is not only intended to allow a single
bracket to be put in different positions but also to permit of a combination of
brackets or supports being used at the same time (see Figs. 2 and 4), as for
example for banging curtains blind rollers and brackets all on a single wall socket
and thus a decorator is enabled to arrange his fittings almost as he likes.
Such a wall socket as described adapts itself to almost any arrangement of
brackets and the like objects for carrying window furniture inasmuch as either
straight or angled brackets or supports may be put in from the front, from either
side, from the top or from underneath. Any special fittings such as cord rolls i or
slotted stud carriers k may be readily applied to the brackets.
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 bracket or support holder a having a boss b a longitudinal cavity c
