Improvements in Boxes or Packing Cases for Pictures and
the like.
I, CHARLES JOHANN PALMIÉ, of Theresienstrasse 75, Munich, in the Kingdom
of Bavaria and German Empire, Painter 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 designed to supply a want generally felt when dispatching
valuable pictures, mirrors, etc. and consists of a packing case designed for that
purpose.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I now proceed to.
describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section, and the other figures show detail views.
of my invention.
The bottom of the case is provided with slotted guides a having longitudinal
projecting edges 6 to form a recess with under cut edges. In the said recess, which
is wider than the upper opening d between the edges b, a piece c is adapted to
engage and slide therein. The piece c has a neck e which passes through the upper
opening d. This neck e is connected to or forms part of a pressing device f, having
a screw g which is adapted to press on a clamp h. The latter is pressed by the
screw g against the bottom of the case on the one side and on the other against an
iron plate k attached to the protecting frame i of the picture.
Therefore by screwing home the screw g, the protecting frame i, and with it the
picture, can be fixed or pressed against the bottom of the case, any incidental
movement of the piece e in the guiding device being prevented by the friction
between the clamp and the slotted guides a.
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 :-
--
1st. In a packing case for pictures and the like a pressing device f, movable.
relatively to the bottom of the packing case in guiding devices a, and provided
with a clamp h, which presses on the one side against the guiding device a and on
the other side against the protecting frame.
2nd. The arrangement and construction of a packing case for pictures and the:
like substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

JOHN JAMES OSBORN of 164 Shrewsbury Street, Brooks Bar, Manchester,
Salesman. I 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 device for carrying umbrellas, walking
sticks and the like, and has for its object to render same capable of easy attach-
ment to a gentleman's waistcoat or other portion of wearing apparel, and in the
case of a lady to her skirt band, jacket or other article of dress.
According to my invention I form a safety pin with a means of attachment to a
strap or clip to secure the umbrella or other article, the other end or safety pin
proper is easily attached as usual to any portion of the dress, wearing apparel or
the like.
The safety pin may be made of one piece of wire, including the clip and
pointed end, or it may be made of several parts variously ornamented, and the
strap for connecting the umbrella or the like with the safety pin may be of leather
or other suitable material.
Figs. 1 & 2 show one form in which the safety pin portion has a depression in
the centre where the metal band is affixed and carries an attachment through which
a leather strap is passed for securing the umbrella or other article.
Figs. 3, 4, & 5, show another of the many forms which the invention may take,
the wire being simply made to form a double spring hook as shown; the first bend a
acting as the guard for the end of the pin. The bends 66 acting as a spring clip
to hold the umbrella or other article and the bend c giving the necessary spring to
the pin to secure it in the dress or coat.
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.) An improved device for carrying umbrellas, walking sticks and the like,
consisting of a safety pin and a hook as for a strap substantially as shewn in

The Production of Siccative or Drying Ointments.
I, OSCAR TROPLOWITZ, of Lockstedter Weg 96, Hamburg-Eimsbuttel,
Germany, Chemist, 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 the manufacture of siccative or drying ointments by
emulsion of vegetable or animal fats or mineral oil with neutral or alkaline solutions
of casein.
Cold skimmed milk, diluted with ten times its weight of distilled water, is mixed
with acetic acid, and the casein precipitate thus produced is purified from acids and
salts by washing with distilled water, and is freed from fat by extracting the latter
by means of benzine. The casein, after drying, is ground, and of it 500 parts are
dissolved in a mixture of 250 parts liquor ammonii caustici of 0.910 specific gravity,
250 parts of glycerine, and 5000 parts aqua distillata, the solution being boiled
until the ammonia has been completely evaporated. The weight of the liquid when
boiled is 2500 parts.
on
Borax may also be employed for dissolving the casein.
The whitey-gray viscid product resulting from the boiling operation, produces,
with fats of all kinds, thick ointment-like emulsions which have the property of
forming, within a few minutes time, drying, elastic, and cooling films or coverings
the skin. An ointment of this kind may be produced, for example, by
emulsifying 600 parts of the liquid obtained according to the herein before described
process, with 200 parts of vaseline. This yields a product which. is a perfectly
homogeneous ointment in which the fat is distributed in the most minute condition.
It leaves on the skin a dry, elastic, non-greasy integument which contains 50%
of fat. It is not to be compared with the cooling ointments heretofore employed,
which are merely a large quantity of fat rubbed up with a small quantity of water,
or with the known emulsions prepared with gum arabic and the like, which leave
behind on the skin, after the water has evaporated, integuments which are always
greasy and fat.
This ointment may be mixed with medicinal substances of vegetable and
chemical origin, but not with acids, and is primarily designed for use for medicinal
purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The production of siccative or drying ointments by emulsion of vegetable or
animal fats or mineral oils with neutral or alkaline solutions of casein, as specified.

An Improved Nut with a Cap or Capsule for Bolts and like
purposes.
I, GUSTAV BÄHR of 15 Zöldfa utcza Budapest in the Kingdom of Hungary,
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:―
Bolts and nuts in common use for purposes of construction are constantly subject
to deterioration and injury from weather and other causes, hence it follows that
they would last much longer if their exposed ends were protected and this
invention is designed to provide such protection against rust and other deteriorating
influences.
The invention consists in providing the nuts of bolts with caps or capsules so as
to preserve their threads from atmospheric and other influences.
The capsule is attached to the nut in a very simple manner as shewn in the
accompanying drawings to which reference is made.
Fig. 1 shows a nut furnished with an annular groove c, which is inclined.
conically so as to afford the necessary hold to the cap when thrust into the said.
groove.
Fig. 2 shows the cap which is stamped from iron or steel plate of suitable
substance and quality. The diameter of the cap allows it to enter the mouth of
the groove c, when a moderate pressure will cause it to spread and fill the groove;
which will then retain it in position. It will be evident that it can be removed
without difficulty when requisite but the nut can be tightened or slackened without
removing same.
Fig. 3 shows an elevation of a bolt or nut with the cap in position.
Fig. 4 shows the groove c, turned inwards instead of outward, and Fig. 5 shows
a cap fixed in a groove of this form.
When the nut and bolt end are thus protected they can be easily unfastened, as
there is no fear of their becoming rusted together or clogged with dirt.
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. The combination with a nut of a cap or capsule to protect the end of the bolt.
on which such nut is placed from rust and external injury, as herein described and
set forth.
2. The production of nuts with protecting caps or capsules, and a conically
inclined groove so formed in the nut that the edge of the cap can be introduced.
into such groove by pushing or pressing same, as herein described and set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or connected with the Permanent Way of
Railways.
I, LUCIAN BOROWSKI of Dwinsk, Dünaburg, Russia, 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:-
As is well known extreme cold frequently causes the freezing of the track or
ballast in railway cuttings, when such track or ballast consists of wet ground.
This results in the formation of frost blisters which tend to shift the rails from
their proper position, and the effect of such freezing is liable to cause trains to
run off the rails, and liability to accident from this cause cannot be completely
avoided even by repairing the track every year, because such ordinary repairs
effect their object for a short period only.
Now with the object of overcoming this defect and liability to accident and
also of doing away with continual repairs, attempts have frequently been made to
drain the track, but this has not been effected because it has always been assumed.
that the loamy ground was solely the cause of freezing. I have however found
by experiments and experience during many years that this assumption is erroneous,.
and that the ground which freezes so readily is composed of fine sand which is
extremely similar to loam but contains very little loam, at the most 2%.
Now according to my invention a railway track consisting of loamy sand, is.
effectually prevented from freezing, by excavating the track to a depth of say
1 metres from the level surface, and replacing the loamy sand thus excavated
(which as before stated I have found to be the real cause of the accumulation of
water and of the formation of frost blisters) with loam, which does not allow of
water accumulating under the rails.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying
drawing which shows by a sectional view a railway cutting in which the track is.
dug out and filled with loam.
The ground or embankment a a surrounding the cutting consists of loamy sand.
which rests on a layer of loam bb. The track cc is excavated to form a.
trough d e f g which is about 1 metres deep and has a width or extends, in the
case of a double track, from the outer edges of the sleepers of one line of rails to
the outer edges of the sleepers of the other line of rails. This trough is filled.
with loam. The loam filling reaches up to or near to the level of the track.
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 improvement in or connected with the permanent-way of railways: for
preventing the freezing of the track or ballast in railway cuttings by excavating
the track to a depth of say 14 metres and in replacing the excavated soil' by loam,
substantially as described and illustrated with reference to the accompanying:
drawings.

A New or Improved Plate Holder or Carrier.
I, ERNST DRECHSLER, of 41 Langestrasse, Berlin, in the 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 object of this invention is to provide a plate holder or carrier wherewith.
hot or cold plates can be handled conveniently, and the use of which avoids all
chance of the fingers of the person carrying them coming in contact with the food
therein.
In the drawings hereto annexed Figure 1 is a front view, and Figure 2 a plan
view of a plate holder or carrier made in accordance with my invention.
The plate holder or carrier consists of a metallic wire a of any suitable or
convenient section which is made in the form of a spring bow open at the bottom.
The ends of this bow are split up a certain distance and the two parts are drawn
asunder sidewise, and each bent into the form of a claw or hook parallel to
the bow.
The bow may also be made of two or more wires combined or twisted together,
the ends being bent and formed into hooks or claws, in a manner similar to that
shown in the drawings.
When using the bow, the ends are drawn or sprung apart by hand until the
claws or hooks 6 take over the edge or rim of the plate. The ends of the bow
then spring towards each other, and the plate is held or grasped firmly between
the said claws or hooks b of the spring-like bow. The plate can then be carried
by the bow in a very convenient manner.
After the plate is set down in its place the bow is released therefrom by drawing
the ends apart again, and it can then be used for the transport of other plates.
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 new or improved plate-holder or carrier which consists of a spring wire
bow a, the split ends of which are bent sidewise and formed into claws or hooks by
adapted to clasp or hold the edge of a plate, substantially as and for the purposes
described.

Improvements in and in the Manufacture of Flour.
I, GEORGE SEATREE, of Brunswick Mills, Bootle near Liverpool in the County
of Lancaster, Miller, 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 the manufacture of flour and the object is to incorporate
in the flour the whole of the nutritious components of the cereals rejecting only the
outer coarse and fibrous portions of the husk.
In the ordinary manufacture of flour the outer husk is either wholly rejected, as
in white flour, or wholly incorporated, as in whole meal; according to my invention,
however, I neither wholly reject nor wholly incorporate the husk, but eliminate the
outer fibrous portions which are found to be indigestible and deleterious, and which
are present in whole meal, and incorporate the remaining nutritious portions which,
in the manufacture of white flour are rejected.
I manufacture flour according to my invention as follows;-
I select a suitable blend of cereals and subject the grain, by any of the well
known methods, to an abrasive action which removes the outer fibrous portions
only of the husk, and I then granulate the remaining portion of the grain to the
required degree of fineness.
I find that bread made from flour thus manufactured is of closer texture and is
more palatable and digestible than that made from whole meal.
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 herein described improvement in, and in the manufacture of flour, substan-
tially as set forth.

I, CARL ERNENPUTSCH, of 18 Kaiser-strasse, of Dortmund, in the Province of
Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to roofing-tiles, and has for its object to provide means
for preventing snow and rain from entering or passing through the roof at the
place of junction between any two neighbouring tiles.
I attain the desired result by providing the respective sides of each tile with
cornered or rounded cuts a, Fig. 1; and I put into each pair of these cuts,
i.e. into two neighbouring cuts, a plug b, Figs. 1 & 2, by means of which the
respective two tiles are connected and the place of junction is closed.
I prefer to make the plugs somewhat higher than that just necessary for the
height of the cuts, so that the plugs project a little over the surface c of the tiles ;
and I then provide the lower corner-piece d of each tile with a small cavity
adapted to receive the said projecting part of the plug, so that the place of junction
is closed also at its upper side. There is, thus, no possibility of any snow or rain
entering or passing through the roof.
I wish it to be understood, that I do not confine myself to the exact shape of
tile represented in the drawing; this configuration has been shown only as an
example and I may use the cuts with the plug with any other form of roofing-tile.
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. Roofing-tiles having cuts at those places where two tiles abut against each
other, said cuts being adapted to receive plugs or equivalent parts, and close the
place of junction, for the purpose as described.
2. Roofing-tiles, having cavities in those parts which cover the place of junction
between two lower neighbouring tiles, said cavities being adapted to receive plugs
or equivalent parts and close the upper part of the place of junction, for the
purpose as described.
3. Roofing-tiles, having cuts at those places where two tiles abut against each
other, and having cavities in those parts which cover the said places, said cuts and
cavities being arranged to receive plugs or equivalent parts, adapted to close the
place of junction at all sides, for the purpose as described.
•
4. Roofing-tiles, having cuts a at those places where two tiles abut against
each other, and having cavities in those parts which cover the said cuts, two
neighbouring cuts and an overlaying cavity being adapted to be connected by
one plug b, the latter being adapted to close the place of junction at all sides,
substantially as described.

EDICITIATION.
A Safety Clothes-mending Pin.
I, ARTHUR RICHAU, of Königsberg, in the German Empire, 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide means for mending rents or holes in
clothes in a simple, expeditious, safe and economical manner, and it consists in an
improved device adapted to accomplish this combined purpose far thoroughly and
effectively than it has ever been attained hitherto by what are known as "safety
pins."
The main advantages of the present improved safety pin, are as follows:-
(1) It enables a rent or tear to be pinned together so as to give it the appearance
of being stitched or sewn.
(2) It is fastened on the inner or wrong side of the cloth and is therefore
invisible.
(3) It does not slip out of place or get lost as the pins hitherto employed for
similar purposes are apt to do.
(4) It will cause neither injury nor inconvenience of any kind to the user; and
(5) The handling of it is easy, and its cost low.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings,
in which :-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the improved safety pin, showing it
Figure 2 is a cross section thereof in the folded, or closed condition.
Figure 3 illustrates the manner in which the pin is fastened to the cloth.
Figure 4 is a cross section on line x, x, Figure 3, and
open.
Figure 5 is a plan or top-view of the cloth with its edges joined by the pin.
The improved safety pin consists of two arms a a', connected by a hinge at b;
one of which arms a¹ is provided with sharp points c, the number of which may
vary according to the size of the complete pin; while the other arm, a, has an
extension at one end, with which extension, when the pin is closed, a resilient pin
or stud e, is arranged to engage, whereby the pin is retained in the closed or
fastened condition.
The mode of employment in practice is as follows:-
Should an article of wearing apparel be torn, the two ends or edges g g¹ Figure 4,
of the tear are joined and made to overlap, when the points or teeth of the safety
pin are passed through both the overlapping edges, and the two arms folded up or
closed, whereby the mending is completed in a secure and reliable manner.
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 :-
A safety clothes-mending pin, mainly consisting of two hinged or folding arms
such as a a', one of which is fitted with a set of sharp points or teeth, for the
purpose of mending rents or holes in wearing apparel.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Extinguishing of Lamps.
I, HERMANN QUAADT, of 47 Ritterstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
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 improved means for extinguishing a
lamp by turning down the wick thereof and its purpose is to obviate the disadvantages
attending the extinguishing of hanging and other lamps.
In the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the improved device applied to the burner of a
lamp.
Figs. 2 and 3 are side elevations of the actuating pawl in two positions.
Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate the spring barrel and spring.
On any suitable part of the burner a a socket b, enlarged at its end to form a
spring-casing c, is fixed. In this socket ba shaft d is journalled; upon the one
end of this shaft is the wheel or wheels for turning the wick up and down and on
the outer end is a milled head for adjusting the wick by hand. The ratchet wheel e
is made rigid with the shaft d and is adapted to be revolved by means of a pawl f
pivoted to a lever f¹, rotarily placed on the shaft d by pulling down said pawlf and
lever so that the shaft may be revolved to turn the wick down by engagement of the
pawl with the teeth of the ratchet wheel. This pulling movement may be effected
through a string or the like.
In the barrel c is a coiled spring g engaging with the barrel at one end and
with the pawl f' at the other end.
Owing to the power of the spring g the lever and pawl will always be forced
back into their original position as soon as the pull on the pawl ceases. By
the action of the spring the pawl is disengaged from the ratchet wheel directly the
pull ceases, so that a return of the wick is rendered impossible; whenever required
the wick can be screwed up again by hand by turning the milled head, and in this
position the extinguishing device is again ready for operation.
The tongue on the edge of barrel c serves as an abutment for the spring g
as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
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 :-
An extinguishing device for lamps comprising a socket b barrel c with abutment h,
lever fand pawl fin combination with shaft d having ratchet wheel e, and adapted
for adjustment of the wick in the manuer described.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
CHARLES VALENTINE MC BEAN of 141 Merton Road Wimbledon Clerk.
I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A tobacco pipe, the stem of which is divided in half lengthways. A groove is
inade on each side of the hole through which the smoke is drawn, and a substance
is placed along the 2 grooves which is intended to make the stem air tight, the ends
of the stem are turned so that they can be screwed when placed together, one end
into the bowl of the pipe the other end into the mouthpiece.

CHARLES VALENTINE MOBEAN.
CHARLES VALENTINE MCBEAN 141 Merton Road Wimbledon Surrey Clerk.
I 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 tobacco pipe, the bowl of wood, the stem of vulcanite or wood and the mouth-
piece of amber, horn, or vulcanite, the stem or portion between the bowl and
mouthpiece is divided lengthways into two pieces, two grooves (D) are made along
one of the pieces of the stem one groove on each side of and running parallel with
the hole (E) in the stem through which the smoke is drawn. A piece of rubber
or similar substance which is capable of being compressed and which protrudes a
little above its surroundings is placed along each groove for the purpose of
preventing any air from entering through the sides of the stem when the two
halves of stem are placed together and fixed to the bowl and mouthpiece, and the
pipe smoked. The ends of the stem are threaded to enable one end to be screwed
into the bowl, and the other end into the mouthpiece of pipe. A band of metal is
then slipped over the stem to prevent the halves from warping or coming apart in
the centre.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The method of dividing the stem of a tobacco pipe into halves lengthways so
that when the pipe is taken to pieces the hole in stem through which the smoke is
drawn is laid bare, and can be thoroughly, quickly and easily cleaned, and the
prevention of any air being drawn into the smoke hole except through the bowl,
by the insertion of rubber or a similar substance between the halves of the stem, as
explained above.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Liquid Glue.
I, GUSTAV EMIL WIESE of 22 Conventstrasse Hamburg in the German
Empire, Microscopist, 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 preparation of an extremely viscous adhesive and
elastic liquid glue without the aid of heat.
In proceeding according to my invention I add to the glue suitable quantities of
chloral-hydrate, sulpho-cyanide of ammonium, boracic acid, chlorate of zinc, and
sulphate of zinc. The chloral-hydrate and the sulpho-cyanide of ammonium
produce the necessary degree of fluidity whilst the desired tenacity and elasticity
are produced by the boracic acid and the zinc salts. In practice I employ about
the following proportions:-
In 100 parts of water I dissolve successively :-
:―
2 parts of chloral-hydrate,
5 parts of sulphocyanide of ammonium,
3 parts of boracic acid,
0.5 parts of chlorate of zinc,
1 part of sulphate of zinc, and
450 parts of glue.
To prevent the glue from setting, during the process of preparation it must be
frequently stirred or agitated. After about 24 hours the constituents will have
ceased to inter-act and the liquid glue may be bottled or packed in closed vessels
for sale and use.
The liquid glue thus prepared, is, on account of its great strength and adhesive-
ness and its elastic properties, particularly suitable for use in various arts and more
especially for joiners bookbinders and leatherworkers. It may also be advan-
tageously employed as a cement for glass porcelain and precious stones, and for
mounting microscopic objects in substitution for Canada balsam.
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 :-
A liquid glue consisting of a mixture in the cold of water, glue, chloral-hydrate,
sulphocyanide of ammonium, boracic acid, chlorate of zinc and sulphate of zinc,
substantially in the proportions and manner herein before described.

A Spring Butt Hinge..
I, MAX HIRSCHFELDT, of 19 William Street, Balaclava, in the Colony of
Victoria, 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 a construction of butt hinge with spring such as causes.
the door to which the hinge is applied either to close or to open automatically
according as the spring may be fixed in the butt.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a front view partly in section of a spring
butt according to my invention, with the spring so fixed that the door automatically
opens.
Fig. 2 is a like view shewing the spring fixed so that the door automatically
closes.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the spring and its attachments and
Fig. 4 is a like view shewing the spring twisted.
A, A are the leaves of the butt the right-hand having three knuckles a, b and c
and the left-hand having two knuckles d and e. The pin is divided into two parts,
the upper B fixed in the knuckle a and projecting downwards into the knuckle d;
the lower C projecting up from e into e and fixed therein; D is a steel strap or
spring held in slots in the ends of B and C. When this steel strap D is untwisted,
as shewn in Fig. 1, when the door is open, then, on closing the door, it will become
twisted, and when the door is free it will cause it to open. When, on the other
hand, the spring is twisted as shewn in Fig. 2 when the door is open, then, the door,
when free will be automatically closed. When considerable spring power is required,
the butt may be made with large knuckles and pins, into which several steel springs.
may be inserted. Although I have mentioned the hinge as being applied to a door,
it might obviously be applied to a window, a lid or any other object opening on
hinges.
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 spring butt binge constructed and operating substantially as described with:
reference to the accompanying drawings.
