We, MARKUS Joss and SIMAN LOWENSTEIN, both of 481 Bubua Prague,.
Bohemia, in the Empire of Austro-Hungary, Manufacturers, 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 :-
Our invention has reference to improvements in shirt fronts or cravats, whereby
the necessity of independently tying or fastening the necktie that at present exists
is entirely obviated.
In carrying our invention into effect we print, sew, embroider or otherwise
imitate in flat or relief upon the shirt front, the form a necktie in any shape or
colour.
The accompanying drawing illustrates our invention in front elevation and
section respectively. The imitating necktie is formed in this case, by a piece of
material cut to the peculiar outline shewn, and effective shading is printed
thereupon or interwoven into the material so as to present an appearance of a tie
or cravat of that design.
We may effect a similar imitation of the tie or cravat upon the shirt front by
producing the outline and general surface configuration in relief; and also by
colouring and shading thereover as required.
We do not limit our invention to any particular means of effecting an imitation
of the tie or cravat for the purpose herein mentioned, but may employ any suitable
means that may facilitate the convenience of manufacture or enhance the effect of
the imitation.
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-
1. In shirt fronts the imitation thereon of a necktie or cravat by such means as
as printing, colouring, shading, sewing or embroidery, substantially as herein
described.
2. In shirt fronts the imitation thereon of a necktie or cravat by such means as
sewing or otherwise securing thereto, a piece of linen, silk, or other fabric, cut to
the outline configuration of the tie or cravat, which may be further shaded by
printing or by the interweaving of darker material substantially as, and for the
purpose as herein described.
3. In shirt fronts the imitation thereon of a necktie or cravat by producing in
relief by stamping or other suitable means, the outline and general configuration
of such a tie or cravat, the imitation of which may be enhanced by previously or
subsequently printing thereon in colour, or shading where required, or by previously
fixing thereto linen, silk, or other fabric of the required outline configuration,
substantially as and for the purpose herein before described.

SYDNEY WILLIAMS c/o William Jones Painter Roft Street Oswestry Saddler
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 valve of aluminium or other metal is used-the tube having an opening at
the side only as shown and the upper portion of the tube has a thread cut
in it (A).
The bladder is of rubber with a tube attached to it internally and the valve is
inserted in the said tube until the flange is within of the bladder proper (B).
The valve is inserted in the tube before the bladder is made up and the rubber of
the tube is firmly bound round the upper half of the said valve.
One of the sections of leather of which the case is made is punched to make a
round hole and a slot is cut to same (C). The head of the valve is placed through
this slot which is then sewn up. The case is then made up in the usual way with
this exception-it is completely sewn up & no portion of it is laced.
With a suitable pump which is screwed into the head of the valve air is pumped
into the ball so that the bladder is filled without undoing the case-the rubber
rising to admit the air but closing over the hole to prevent its escape.
When the pump is withdrawn the head is filled up with a suitable 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) That a bladder for this purpose with an internal tube is new.
(2) That the using of a case as described without lacing is new.
(3) That the using of a valve as described is new.
(4) That the ball as a whole is new inasmuch as it can be inflated without.
undoing the case.

A Hair Binder or Ourier.
1, WILLIAM HENRY BALDOCK, of Lamport, Northampton, Clerk in Holy
Orders, 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 aud by the
following statement :-
My invention relates to a hair binder or curler that is to say an appliance
whereby a mass of hair can be readily bound into a sheaf and unbound, or a lock
of hair can be coiled into a curl and held so curled, this appliance being capable
of being to a certain extent lengthened or shortened so as to suit masses or
locks of hair of various thickness.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a plan of a hair binder or curler
according to my invention extended, Fig. 2 is a front view of it with its enda.
brought together and engaged, and Fig. 3 shews it applied as a binder to a mass
of hair,
The binder consists of a helically coiled wire A having its two ends bent.
in opposite directions and preferably terminating in small balls B so that, when
the enda are brought together, and the bends are crossed, they become interlocked
and remain engaged.
In using this appliance as a binder, the person gathers together a mass of hair
and, as shewn in Fig. 3, encloses it within the binder which, when the ends are
interlocked, holds it firmly.
For curling a lock of hair, the lock is coiled round the helix in its extended
condition, and then the helix is bent and its ends interlocked, the lock being thus
retained in its coiled condition.
Although I have shewn the wire helix bare, I prefer to enclose it in a sheath of
fabric so as to prevent the hair from becoming entangled in its convolutions.
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 :-
A hair binder or curler consisting of a helically coiled wire with its ends bent in
opposite directions so as to interlock substantially as described.

Improvements in Fans or Flyers for Clockwork.
We, FRIEDRICH ERNST MALKE and FRIEDRICH HERMANN OBERLÄNDER
both of Leipsic-Gohlis in the Empire of Germany Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to he
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The present invention consists of a fan for clockwork which is self-adjusting, the
wings of said fan being pivotally mounted and coupled to segments adapted to
actuate a sleeve mounted on and movable on the fan spindle. Thus if the speed of
the clockwork is too high the fans will open out under centrifugal action and offer
more resistance to the air and at the same time will raise the sleeve afore-mentioned
and cause the same to press against the bearing surface of the fan spindle and
retard or brake the motion of the same.
And in order to render the present modification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the several views:―
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device,
Figure 2 a similar elevation with the wings closed and
Figure 3 a similar elevation with the wings in their position of rest, i.e. when the
clockwork is not running.
On the fan spindle a is mounted fast a frame c having arms dd in which are pivoted
the wings ff having each a segment ee attached thereto, said segments engaging
the threads of a sleeve g mounted to slide on the spindle a.
The latter is provided
with upper and lower trunnions bb and at the upper end with a flange b' and a
spring which normally presses the sleeve g downwards and tends to hold the
wings ff in the position shown at Figure 3. At the lower part of the spindle a a
thread is cut having a big pitch, sail thread being engaged by a driving gear and
driven in the ordinary manner.
:-
The operation of the device will be obvious from the foregoing description
As soon as the speed of the spindle increases, the wings ff will open out offering
more resistance to the air and simultaneously pushing the sleeve 9 upwardly,
so that the spring will press against the flange 6 and form a brake for the
spindle.
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 :-
1. In a clockwork the combination of a spindle, having mounted thereon a
frame, wings pivoted in said frame having segments with teeth thereon, said
segments engaging a common sleeve on the fan spindle, a spring to actuate
said sleeve downwards and means for driving the said spindle substantially as
described.

Mouldmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same 19 to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement -
The object of my invention, 18 to make bottles of all descriptions, to hold
certain given quantities, exactly.
To carry out this object, I take a bottle mould made of plaster of Paris (1).
This mould is double knatched (5), so that it can be reversed in revolving head (2).
Fist I place the mould in the head neck downwards, put a piece of clay therein,
then bring down upon the clay a profile (made in metal) sot to one strength all the
way up (3), from neck to edge of bottom, but of course with open bottom, as the
profile as to go in and come out that way.
Next the mould is reversed, (neck upward) in head adjoining the first one, a bat
of clay the size of bottom, and thickness required, is placed upon bottom mould,
and the closer up (4) 18 brought down through neck of bottle, upon the clay forming
bottom, it closes it all up, and is then drawn up by handlo into tube and so the
whole is brought up through neck again, and you have a bottle (3) one thickness
throughout, and therefore can be made to hold given quantities exactly.
The close up consists, of a hollow metal tube, one portion of which near botton
is half tubing, (to allow rod to draw up into it). Through the tubing runs &
metal rod with three loose joints, which are worked up and down the tube by
handle as shown in drawing, these joints enable rod when upon the clay for bottom
to expand out and so to close it all up, and it is then drawn up into tube, and tube
and all through neck of bottle.
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 18,
The apparatus for closing in bottom of bottles, and other mailow necked vessels
in pottery.

Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Incandescent
Mantles for Lamps.
J. SAMUEL HENRY CROCKER of 31, Furnival Street, 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 :-
My invention consists in forming incandescent mantles for lamps from threads
spun or formed from material which in its natural or raw state of fibres or filaments
is loaded with a solution for yielding refractory earths. The organic matter being
subsequently removed by burning, leaving behind the refractory compounds in
approximately the same shape as the fabric obtained before.
In carrying out my invention I take any suitable material of a fibrous nature in
its raw state and thoroughly load or incorporate therewith the refractory earths in
the manner aforesaid. After loading the raw fibres or filaments they may be driel
and spun into threads and these threads are then made up into a mantle of suitable
shape by weaving, netting, or like operations.
In some cases instead of forming the loaded raw material directly into threads,
it may first be made into thin flat sheets or tissue by felting after the manner of
making paper, and from these sheets may be cut strips or shreds which may be
spun or twisted into threads to be used in the same manner as those previously
referred to. By treating the fibres or filaments in the manner described, that is to
say, in their raw or natural state, they become loaded or charged in a very even
and uniform manner so that when woven or netted, they produce a textile fabric
or base in which the refractory compounds are equally distributed throughout.
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 the manufacture of incandescent mantles the loading of the raw fibres or
filaments from which the base of the mantle is to be formed with the solutions for
yielding the suitable refractory compounds substantially as described.
(2) In the manufacture of incandescent mantles, the spinning of threads from
raw fibrous material or filaments loaded substantially as described with the suitable
refractory substances.
(3) Incandescent mantles for gas lamps, the raw material of which has been
loaded prior to its being spun into threads with suitable refractory substances
substantially as described.

Apparatus for Playing a Game of Skill.
I, WILLIAM ROBERT SEXTON, of 1 The Crescent, London Road, Ipswich, in
the County of Suffolk, Auctioneer's Clerk, 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 is intended to afford recreation or amusement and to exercise the
mental powers and consists of a chart or plan by means of which a new or improved
game can be played.
This chart comprises a representation of a tract of country divided into parts by
a natural obstacle such as a river.
This river with its tributaries preferably divides the country into four parts
bounded by the rivers and the edges of the chart, and one of these parts, which
may be of comparatively small area, has communication with each of the other
three for instance by means of bridges. Portions of the country are mapped out
in a series of squares or divisions leading to the aforesaid bridges and distinguished
by different colours or otherwise.
The annexed drawing illustrates a chart of this nature; A, B, C, D represent
four divisions of country separated by the river or rivers E. G, H, I are three
bridges joining respectively the parts A to C, B to C and C to D. K represents
white squares, L black squares, M yellow squares; these are surrounded by lines
of which the thinner lines N represent blue lines and the thicker lines O red
lines.
I do not confine myself to these colours nor to the exact arrangement of squares
as illustrated in the drawing so long as the series of squares upon the parts A B
and D lead to the bridges G H I respectively and those on the part C lie adjacent
to all the bridges.
This chart is suitable for playing games in which two series of men representing
for instance soldiers of two armies are placed in the remoter squares in parts A
and B and according to suitable rules of play and capture are moved to the part C
and thence to the part D with the object of occupying a majority of the remoter
squares in part D.
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 :-
1. The chart or plan representing a tract of country divided by a river or other
natural obstacle into parts, the said parts having respectively series of divisions or
squares of diverse colours leading to bridges or other means of communication over
said obstacle, whereby series of men may be played from different remoter points
to meet at or near such means of communication and to thenceforth move along
the same course to the remoter points of the latter.
2. The chart or plan embodying the above features as described and represented
in the annexed drawing.

and has for its object, to construct the watergauge in such a manner, that the valves
can be examined and removed while the gauge is in use, and that a cleaning rod
may by passed through the gauge glass, without being hindered by a valve or valve
spindle.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the upper part of a water gauge embodying my
invention,
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same without the valve,
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the lower part.
Figs. 4 to 7 are detail views.
The principal feature of the improved water gauge consists in the chambers k
which surround the canals a communicating with the boiler and provided with
short lateral tubes serving as valve seats. The said lateral tubes establish
communication with the chamber k and may be closed by the discs or cups of the
valves o.
(Fig. 3.) The gauge glass to is fitted into the chamber k, but sideways
of the passage a, to render it accessible for a cleaning rod and removable while the
valve remains closed.
ย
In order that the passages a may be easily opened and securely closed, without
complete removal of the screw caps b, the latter are provided with levers h. Each
ol said levers carries a valve disc h' situated in the opening 6¹ of the screw cap.
To open the passage, the screw cap is turned back a short distance, so as to release
the valve disc from the valve seat b, after which the lever may be turned round
into the position indicated in Fig. 1 by dotted lines. The opening is now free,
and the steam may escape, or the passage a can be cleansed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A water gauge comprising in its construction a chamber k around the water
or steam passage a, a valve seat applied laterally to the said passage, and a gauge

Improvements in or connected with Land Rollers or the like.
I, JAMES MATTHEWS, trading as J. and J. Matthews of Byron Street,
Caldewgate, Carlisle, in the County of Cumberland, Engineers and Founders 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 land rollers or the like. Hitherto the adjacent ends of
the drums or rollers at centre had no means provided for lubricating the centre or
middle bearings, and it was therefore necessary to lubricate them either from the
outside by the attendant stretching his arms through the spokes, or by taking the
rollers apart which involved loss of time.
Now by our invention we have contrived a plan of oiling, whereby these incon-
veniences are avoided.
It will be understood from the following description, reference being had to the
accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a general view of a land roller;
Figure 2, a cross section; and
Figure 3, a longitudinal section on the line a b.
In these figures,
A A are the two rollers, B the outside bearings, and C the middle or centre
ones. The outside bearings can be lubricated without any difficulty, but the inside
ones are by my arrangement lubricated by inserting a small tube D between the
arms E of one of the rollers A. This tube runs from the outside surface of the
roller right onto the spindle F and is protected from the access of dust by a small
screw G.
The mode of action is as follows:-
To lubricate the centre bearings, the screw G is removed by a screw driver or the
like, and oil can then be poured into the tube which conveys it to the centre
bearings of the rollers A. When sufficient oil has been poured in, the screw is
re-inserted so that the oil cannot flow back or permit dirt to enter.
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 :-
1. The improvement connected with land rollers or the like to facilitate" their
centre or middle bearings being lubricated, which consists in providing them with
a small tube arranged to convey oil from a small hole in the outside surface of the
roller direct to the centre bearings, substantially as described.
2. The arrangement herein described for oiling the centre or middle bearings of
land rollers or the like substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Gear Cases for Velocipedes.
I, Dr. PAUL HUNAEUS, of the Celluloid Works, Leinaustrasse, Linden near
Hanover, in the German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in gear cases for velocipedes and has for
object to provide a case of greater stability and of more simple construction than
beretofore.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gear case constructed according to my
invention:
Figure 2 is a plan of one half of the gear case:
Figure 3 is a side elevation of a modified form of my improved gear case:
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of Figure 3:
Figure 5 is a vertical section through the broad end of the gear case shewn in
Figure 1:
Figure 6 is a similar section on the linear of Figure 1; and,
Figure 7 is a sectional view of a detail drawn to an enlarged scale.
a, a are strips of wood or other suitable material forming the frame of the case
and to which the sides b, b, which are preferably of celluloid for the purpose of
making the case transparent, are secured by suitable means such as for instance by
nails or screws as shewn in Figure 7.
The gear case shewn in Figures 3 and 4 differs from that shewn in Figures 1
and 2 by being divided vertically into three parts instead of horizontally into
two parts.
My improved gear case possesses advantages over gear cases made of sheet-metal
not only on account of its greater lightness but also by its greater resistance to
blows or shocks.
When the wooden frame a is provided with celluloid sides as above described,
the resulting gear case possesses greater stability than cases as heretofore
constructed because no distortion can ensue from difference of strength in the
sides of the gear case as is the case with cases made of celluloid entirely.
By the employment of framing of different breadth it will be obvious that the
same celluloid or other cover can be employed for different widths of chain which
enables considerable economy to be exercised in the manufacture.
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 velocipede gear cases divided into two or more parts either horizontall
or vertically, the employment of a framing preferably of bent wood a in combinatio
with sides b suitably attached to the same.
2. The improved gear cases hereinbefore described and illustrated in
drawings.

An Improved Construction of Leather Horse-muzzle.
I JAMES HENRY TAYLOR of Crown Works, Butts Road, Walsall in the County
of Staffordshire 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 construction of leather horse-muzzle by
which amongst other advantages greater strength is obtained, and it is rendered
impossible for the muzzle to fall to pieces as now so frequently happens by reason
of the rotting of the stitches connecting the parts together.
In accordance with this invention in lieu of sewing as hitherto the top and
bottom sections of the muzzle together, I block the bottom portion to fit the side
or top casing, and for additional security I may rivet the two parts together
if desired.
The accompanying drawings fully illustrate the invention, Fig. 1 being an.
elevational view of the muzzle constructed in accordance therewith. Fig. 2 a
sectional elevation of the same and Fig. 3 an elevational view partly in section
shewing the two parts of the muzzle disconnected.
a is the top part or casing of the muzzle which surrounds the horses jaws, and
b the bottom portion which in accordance with this invention is blocked to fit
inside the upper portion a as shewn in Figs. 1 and 2. This will render it impossible
for the bottom to fall out as now frequently happens by reason of the rotting
of the connecting stitches when the muzzle is made in the manner usual hitherto.
For additional security the parts a and b may be rivetted together by rivets c
if desired.
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 improved construction of leather horse-muzzle substantially as hereinbefore
described and shewn.
2. The leather horse-muzzle constructed with the lower portion 6 blocked to fit
inside the upper part a substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described
and shewn in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings.

Improved Means for Fastening Blinds to Rollers.
FRANZ FISCHER at present residing at 15 St. Mary Abbot's Terrace
Kensington, no occupation, 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:-
According to this invention the blind is secured to the roller by means of a
circular spring clip having a pin or peg projecting from the middle of its inner
surface and entering the roller.
The blind is hemmed at one end to form a tube to receive the roller on which it
is prevented from slipping by one or more of such clips; preferably three are
employed one at each end and one in the middle.
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 a front elevation of one of the
clips.
Figure 3 is a transverse section of the roller with the blind upon it and showing
one of the clips being put into place.
Figure 4 is
similar view with the clip in place.
a is the roller, the blind c the clip and d a pin fixed to the clip.
The clip c when in place embraces about three quarters of the circumference of
the roller but is sufficiently elastic to allow of its being sprung over the roller as
shown in Figure 3.
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 circular spring clip having a pin or peg projecting from the middle of its
inside.
2. Means for fastening blinds to rollers substantially as described and shown in
the drawings.
