Fig. 3 is a plan of the other bearing with end disc for the roller,
Fig. 4 is an eud view of the bearing and pulley, and
Fig. 5 is an end view of the roller.
The one bearing consists of a bracket B to which is permanently pivotted the
pulley P; the other bearing consists of a similar bracket B to which is per--
manently pivotted a disc D. Both the pulley P and the disc D have projecting
ribs forming a cross C, which enter corresponding cross slits cut in the ends of
the roller R. The brackets B may be screwed in the usual way to the window
frame, but I prefer to make the holes for the screws of keyhole form, so that at
any time, on loosening the screws, the brackets can be slid until the screw heads.
face the enlarged parts of the holes, when the brackets can be removed.
fixing the parts and fitting the roller, the workman first fixes the two bearings
then he cuts the roller to the length measured from the face of the pulley P to-
that of the disc D, and cross slids its end. He then, taking down the bearings
attaches them to the ends of the roller, and finally fixes the whole in position.

Tyres of Bicycles and other Vehicles.
We ADOLF KOCH, Merchant, of 1 Charterhouse Buildings, London E.C. and OTTO
HETTERICH Watchmaker of 18a Northampton Square London E.C. do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A combination of a number of shields of a certain shape and made of a specially
prepared leather, parchment or celluloid or other suitable material, which shields or
devices we insert between the air tube and the usual outer covering of the tyre.
The shields are connected by elastic tape drawn through holes in each in such a way
that they overlap each other and so form a resilient and pliable and at the same time
very strong covering, somewhat resembling a lobster tail, for the protection of the
inner tube.
Certain modifications in the size and shape of our shields make our appliance equally
suitable for an outside protective covering of tyres if desirable.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Colouring Matters.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co. Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
In the course of the examinations of the toluylene-diamine sulpho-acid
(CH:NH,:SO,H:NH, = 1.2.4.6)
in regard to its employment for the preparation of colouring matters, dyeing
unmordanted cotton, I have found that a yellow substantive cotton dye can be
obtained if the tetrazo-compound of the before mentioned diamine-sulpho-acid is
made to act upon two molecules of nitro-meta-phenylene diamine. (Berliner
Berichte VII., 1257.)
In the following example I will describe the manner in which my invention may be
carried out and brought into practical effect.
By parts are meant parts by weight. The solution of 11-2 parts of the sodium salt
of toluylene diamine sulpho-acid (Ch..NH,.SO, H.NH, = 1.2.4.6) and 6.9 parts of
sodium nitrite in about 500 parts of icy, cold water is poured into an ice-cooled
dilution of hydrochloric acid (containing 50 parts of the latter of 22° Bé.). After
the nitrous acid has disappeared, the liquor is poured into a solution of fifteen and
a half parts of nitro-meta-phenylene-diamine in the calculated quantity of strong
diluted muriatic acid, and an orange mass precipitates at once. The whole is allowed
to stand for 24 hours, then heated to boiling, the resulting dyestuff-acid is converted
into its sodium salt by addition of 35 parts of soda, salted out and dried. The
dyestuff thus obtained; forms a light brown powder, soluble in water to a yellow.
solution from which a gelatinous yellowish precipitate falls down on addition of
an acid.
The colouring matter, produced in the manner above described, dyes unmordanted
cotton giving clear yellow shades; when in the process above described an acetic acid
solution is used, very much paler shades are obtained by the resulting dyestuff.

A New or Improved Burner for Acetylene or other similar Gas.
I, KARL HEINRICH RAUPP, of 3 Graben, Mayence, in the Empire of Germany,
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 burner designed for burning acetylene gas,
and it is designed to enable such gas to be burned without undue production of
soot. In carrying my said invention into effect 1 employ what I may call a
multiple burner that is to say one from whose surface a plurality of jets emerge.
I make the burner of such form and so arrange the jets thereon that the bases of
the flames are nearer together than their extremities thereby ensuring such access
of air that the flames will burn without undue production of soot. One form of my
invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, the said form being one
which gives good results in practice. In this figure a pipe b, made of a material
not liable to be attacked by acetylene or other similar gas such for example as
aluminium, is screwed upon a gas pipe by means of a screw threaded socket a
shown in the accompanying drawing. The upper part c is bent or curved to an
arc of a circle and furnished with a number of small holes in its outer periphery,
so that the flames issuing from the holes will be directed radially from a
centre A.
Owing to this arrangement the distance between the points d of the flames will
be greater than the distance between the bases e thereof, thereby ensuring such
access of air that the flames will burn without the undue production of soot, even
in cases where variations of pressure occur.
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 burner for acetylene or other like gas so constructed and arranged that
the jets issuing therefrom shall be closer together at their bases than at their
points.
2 The specific form of burner set forth with reference to the figure.

A New or Improved Cycling Habit for Ladies' Wear.
I, PETER NILSSON, of 33 Conduit Street, London, W., Ladies' Tailor and
Habit Maker, 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 new or improved cycling costume or habit which
whilst affording that freedom to the wearer which is necessary, will not present the
objections which are found to the use of the so-called rational dress.
The object of the invention is to provide a cyclist riding habit which will serve
equally for the pedalist or the pedestrian.
In order that my invention may be clearly ascertained, there is annexed hereto
two sheets of drawings wherein is shown by
Figure 1 a front view of the cycling habit, the wearer being dismounted.
Figure is a back view in like manner.
Figure 3 is a front view of the habit showing the wearer as when riding.
Figure 4, is a back view in like manner.
In carrying the invention into effect, the skirt material is cut and made up
without a pleat or gather, the habit being made in the seaming to fit closely round
over the hips.
There are side openings, indicated at a, each furnished with a wide under flap
and pocket.
The cut of the skirt allows of a sufficient amount of fullness below the hips to
allow of requisite freedom in pedalling, but it is not to be so full as to leave a
surplusage that in gusty weather can be blown about.
For use in high winds there is provided inside the skirt a button or fastener and
a band of elastic terminating in an anklet or foot strap. This adjunct may be made
attachable or detachable.
The back or saddle portion of the skirt will be lined with some stronger material
but not so heavy a kind as wound prevent the draping of the habit when the
wearer is not seated.
The front portion of the skirt is to have a lining of silk so as to avoid the
tendency of the material of the knee coverings to cling to the material of the
habit skirt.
In Figure 4 particularly is shown the elegance of the fall of the skirt when the
rider is seated.
The bodice portion may be substantially as shown, or be made with short skirt.
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
clain is:
The improved cyclist habit skirt as and for the purpose herein set forth.

I, ALBERTA BEATRICE LEWIS of 32, Denholme Road, Maida Hill, London, in
the County of Middlesex, Gentlewoman, 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 apparatus for application to bicycles to support them
in an upright position, and it consists of a suitable frame adapted to be mounted
on the frame of a bicycle over the driving wheel, carrying at its lower end a pair
of small wheels and at its upper end a device for raising and lowering the frame,
the object being to enable riders-more especially ladies-to remain seated on
bicycles when they are at a state of rest and to enable beginners to gain confidence
by reason of the stable equilibrum of machines fitted with this apparatus.
In the accompanying drawing;
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation showing my improved apparatus fitted to a
rear-driving safety bicycle, and
Figure 2 is a view-on an enlarged scale-in end elevation of the upper part of
the apparatus showing the lifting and lowering device.
In both views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
The apparatus consists of a forked frame A adapted to slide on extensions x x of
the axle of the driving wheel or on any other suitable part of the bicycle. This
frame carries at its lower end small wheels B, the lower extremities of the said
frame being splayed out sufficiently far to give a stable wheel base. To the top
of the frame A is attached a spindle A' which fits loosely in a bearing a formed
in the crown of the fork, so that while it is free to rotate therein it is longitudinally
rigid with the fork. This spindle has a screw thread on it and it is threaded into
a bracket C-having internal screw threads-formed on or fixed to the frame Y of
the bicycle. On the top of the spindle A is mounted a hand wheel D or its
equivalent whereby it can be operated to raise or lower the forked frame A.
The apparatus is preferably mounted so that the hand wheel D is in the rear of
the saddle W, but if preferred it may be mounted so that it lies under the said
saddle.
It will be seen that by rotating the hand wheel D the auxiliary frame may be
raised and lowered as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a bicycle, a screw controlled support, substantially as and for the purpose
herein before described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.

I, JAMES MARTIN MENZIES, 24, Carlton Hill, St. John's Wood, London, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the handles for velocipedes which are so constructed
that they lessen the vibration felt by the hand of a rider. The handles are not
intended to supersede the use of the ordinary handles but to be supplementary
to them.
The handle consists of a thin, hollow india rubber ball filled with horsehair,
feathers, wool, cellular rubber, or other light, elastic material. The india rubber
ball is covered with leather, and the whole is firmly attached by means of an iron
screw and nut. to an iron band or clip, similar to, but stronger than the clip which
is employed to secure the bell to the handle-bar of the velocipede.
When in use the handles are secured to the handle-bar at such points as the
rider may find convenient.
Dated this 30th day of April 1896.
I, JAMES MARTIN MENZIES, of 24 Carlton Hill, St. John's Wood, London Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide handles for velocipedes which, as stated
in the Provisional Specification, are not intended to supersede the use of the ordinary
handles, but to be supplementary to them.
The handle is thus constructed ;-B is a hollow india-rubber ball, about 2 inches
in diameter, filled with horsehair, feathers, wool or other light, elastic material. A is
a leather cover of the india-rubber ball, the upper and lower portions of which are
sewn together, and m, m are the seam. C is a circular piece of leather which is sewn
upon A to strengthen it. D is an iron "clip" which is secured by the screws and
the nut n, n to the leather-covered india-rubber ball.
If a lighter and more elastic handle is required, the leather cover A is dispensed
with, and only the piece of leather C is used, which is cemented to the india-rubber
ball by means of the elastic glue used in the repair of pneumatic rubber tyres.
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 :-
1. Handles which can be secured to the handle-bar at such points as the rider may
find convenient.
2. Handles constructed as herein described which lessen vibration.

I, THEODOR HAUCK, Head Teacher, of Heddesheim near Weinheim in the
Grand Duchy of Baden, 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 cork tyre shown in two figures in the accompanying drawing has for an.
object the provision of a cheaper substitute for the so-called pneumatic tyre.
It consists of a solid or slightly hollowed-out core (A) made of cork, which is
wholly inclosed in a rubber casing (B) and firmly united with same by glue or
cement.
The core (A) can be composed of a great number of pieces (A₁) (A).... (A₂)-
after the method displayed in Figure 2. The rubber casing because of wear and
tear at that spot is made stronger along the portion of the line of its outer
circumference which touches the ground.
This elastic combination of cork and rubber, as represented, is held just in the
ordinary way by a suitable felly (C) and joined by means of steel-wire spokes, etc.,
with the nave to the wheel.
This description of tyres for bicycles, etc., are light, very elastic, and cheaply
constructed.
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 :
Cork tyres for bicycles and vehicles generally, their special feature being that
over a solid or slightly hollowed-out cork core a casing of rubber is drawn which.
completely incloses such core and is firmly joined to the same by agglutinants.

Improvements in Kettles and the like.
1, FRANCIS GRIFFIN STOKES, Pennington Hall, Southborough, Kent, School-
master, 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 my invention is to prevent the over-boiling of kettles and the like,
and in carrying out my invention, I proceed in or in about the following manner.
I provide a metallic tube one end of which opens into the upper part of the spout,
and the other into the highest part of the kettle or into the collar into which the
lid fits. In the latter case, a piece is cut from the band of the lid so as to prevent
obstruction to the end of the tube when the lid is put on.
In order that my invention may be the more readily understood, I make reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Fig. 1 is a side view of a kettle with my improvement applied to the collar of
the kettle.
Fig. 2 shews the lid with a piece cut away from the band to prevent it obstructing
the end of the tube, and
Fig. 3 is a side view of a kettle with the tube entering the upper part of the kettle
instead of the collar.
The same letters refer to the same parts in each figure.
a is the body of the kettle; b the spout; c the collar; d is the lid; e the opening
cut in the band of the lid, to prevent it closing the end of the tube; the tube,
one end of which opens into b, and the other into c, or into the upper part of a as
at g. The front part of the kettle handle may be forked or divided at h, to allow
the tube to pass through the opening thus formed.
I do not restrict myself to any particular shapes, relative proportions or
disposition of parts as any or all of them may be varied without departing from the
spirit of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.―
In kettles or the like, preventing over-boiling, by means of a tube, one end of
which opens into the spout, and the other end into the collar into which the lid fits,
or into the upper part of the body of the kettle, the whole substantially as described
in the above Specification, and exemplified in the accompanying drawing.

declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I do hereby
To preserve dead bodies from decaying in airtight coffins, so constructed to fill
them in spirit or in liquid which may have the same power of preserving. Spirt
will preserve dead bodies in the same state for ever, so that worms coming from
the body and from the earth will never eat them any more in fact it will lessen the
horror of dying in knowing, that when we die our bodies will be preserved, and
not be a meal for worms, insects, rats, mice, etc. In preserving the dead bodies in
this way the living will be less subjected to illness catching, as the most deceases
comes from fresh bodies rotting in the earth. The coffin can be made from glass,
china, pottery, earthenware etc. The coffin can be buried or kept where
prefered.
