A Method of Manufacturing Combined Bright Polished and Dead
Patterned Wooden Boards.
I ROBERT HIMMEL of 79 Bernauerstrasse Berlin in the Kingdom of Prussia and
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 :-
The invention as hereinafter described relates to a new method of manufacturing
patterned wooden boards by the application of which method bright and dead tones
can be produced and thus a new effect obtained in patterned wooden boards.
The method is as follows:-
A metal plate engraved in accordance with the drawing or design required to be
reproduced on the wood is placed upon a correct working press the said metal plate
being grooved in all those places which are not engraved and which are consequently
not to produce the pattern. The metal plate is heated up to 50° R. or thereabouts and
kept at this temperature by any suitable means such as a suitably arranged gas flame.
A corresponding large smooth wooden board which is previously prepared or polished
clean (either bright or dead) is then placed upon the heated metal plate and is pressed
sufficiently hard under short pressure.
The drawing engraved in the metal plate is in this manner transferred to the wooden
board in such a way that those parts of the pattern which correspond with the engraved
places on the plate appear smooth and bright in the wooden board whilst the grooved
places on the metal plate have given the wood a dull dead tone.
The said method is applicable to any kind of wood and can also be employed for
veneered and thick woods. Instead of a press a suitable roller pressure can also be
employed.
The drawing hereunto annexed gives a view and section of a patterned wooden
board in which drawing the grooves producing the dull dead tone are shown by
parallel lines.
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 manufacturing bright polished and dead toned patterned wooden
boards by pressing the wooden boards (veneered or thick) after they have been
polished with plates heated up to about 50° which latter are engraved on the patterned
places and grooved on the non-patterned places so that after pressing the wooden
board the patterned places on the metal plate appear bright on the wood and the
grooved places give those parts of the wooden board a dull dead appearance sub-
stantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Seals for Bolts and the like.
I, WILLIAM NOLAN BRENNAN of 319 Olive Street in the City of St. Louis, State of
Missouri, United States of America, Medical Doctor, 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 improved means of sealing the bolts or pins used for staple
or other fastenings and has for its object to prevent the withdrawal of a bolt from its
fastenings without destruction of the seal and consequent detection.
It consists in features of novelty as hereinafter claimed.
The accompanying drawing represents a sectional view of my improved seal applied
to a bolt broken away.
a, represents the end portion of a bolt which is inserted through and projects beyond
the staple or other portion of the fastening therefor. Around the end portion a, of
the bolt are formed at suitable distances apart one or more grooves b, each groove b,
being either tapered from the full diameter of the bolt, so as to terminate in a square,
circular shoulder c, towards the end of the bolt as shown, or of a square, concave or
any other desirable shape.
d represents a seal made in any shape of glass earthenware or other fragile material
and having a neck d' the interior of which is slightly larger than the end portion, a,
of the bolt and either of an increasing taper from its mouth towards the interior of
the seal d, or parallel throughout as found preferable.
Within the seal d, are placed various angular or spherical shaped fragments e, of
metallic or other substances so that when the bolt is in the fastened position and the
neck d¹ of the seal passed over the end portion a of the bolt which partially enters
the seal d, the fragments e within the latter congregate around the inner open end of
the annular space between the neck and the end portion a of the bolt and some
of the fragments e, entering the said space, engage in the grooves b, and thereby
become wedged between the latter and the neck so that the seal d. d' cannot be
removed from the bolt without being broken.
Private numbers or marks may be blown or otherwise formed on the seal d. d' so
that a similar seal cannot be substituted without detection.
My invention is particularly applicable to sealing the fastenings of freight car doors
but can be used for other purposes.
'
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 seal for a fastening bolt, the combination of a seal made of fragile material
and having a neck said seal containing fragments of metallic or other substances, with
bolt having one or more circumferential grooves, substantially as shown and for the
purpose described.

An Improved Stopper for Bottles.
CHARLES FREDERICK HIRONS of 86 Angelina Street Birmingham in the County of
Warwick "Art Metal Worker" 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 has for its object an improved stopper for bottles by which means I
am enabled to dispense with the use of a cork-screw, or any other cork extracting
implement or tool whilst at the same time the improvement is so simple & conse-
quently cheap that its application is universal. It consists of no parts but those
which can be attached to the bottle & the stopper being outside when open gives
the greatest facility for thoroughly cleansing the same & all parts.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood & more easily carried into
practise I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have fully
illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1 is a section thro the neck F of a bottle with the stopper closed.
Figure 2 is an elevation of same also with the stopper closed.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the screw on the outside of the
neck F of the bottle which bottle may be made of any suitable material such as glass,
stone, clay, wood gutta percha india rubber or metal and upon this external screw
I screw the metal or other cap c containing the ball a which consists of cork india
rubber gutta percha, glass, wood, metal or other suitable material until the said
ball a is pressed tightly against the top of the neck of the bottle which may be formed
to receive it. The ball a is secured to the cap c and as will be easily understood can
be readily replenished when worn. The cap c is provided with the milled rim G.
for ease in screwing or unscrewing and is attached to the bottle by means of the
chain d fastened to the ring E which may be in turn be attached to any convenient
part of the neck or bottle but I prefer the method I have shewn as the ring E turns
as the stopper is being unscrewed thus avoiding the necessity of a long chain.
I do not confine myself to the exact shapes shewn upon the drawings & described
herein as I may modify them to suit the various requirements of the variety of bottles
for which it may be used.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is―
An improved stopper for bottles consisting of the outside screw 6 in combination
with the internal screwed cap c and ball a substantially as & for the purpose herein
set forth & shewn upon the drawing.

The Utilization of Waste Heat from the Exhaust of Gas Engines.
I, CHARLES ALBERT FRANKLIN, of 6 New Rupert Street, in the City and County
of Bristol, Overmantel Manufacturor, 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 has for its object to utilize the hoat derived from the exhaust of
gas engines instead of allowing the same to escape as waste heat. According to
this invention the heated gas fumes from the exhaust ports of gas engines are lod
through a pipe or a series of pipes extending through water contained in a boiler,
tank or other suitable vessel or receptacle. The water in the said vessel or receptacle
is accordingly heated and a supply of steam is thereby afforded which is available
for heating buildings, or as a motive agent for engines, or for other purpose or
purposes.
After passing through the tube or tubes of the vessel containing the water to be
heated, the gas fumes escape into the atmosphere.
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 utilization, for heating water and generating steam, of the waste heat from
the exhaust ports of gas engines by conducting the said heat through a tube or
tubes passed through a boiler, tank or other suitable vessel containing water,
substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Gas Cooking Stoves.
1, HENRY CHARLES TURNER, Gas Engineer, 200, Camberwell Road, London, S.E.
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 has for its object the construction of protection plates in the interior
of gas ovens, made of enamelled iron, to prevent the pulverizing of the enamel,
which occurs when enamelled iron plates are brought in too close contact with the
heat, as in the ordinary gas stove.
The present Improvements consist in fixing protection plates, A, which are made of
cast iron, in a position which prevents the heat, acting upon the enamelled plates B
used in the construction of the stove, and the top of the protection plates, A, made to
carry the enamelled plates B is formed in snch a way as to allow of easy expansion,
and contraction, and prevent any melted fat running down the side of the oven going
through the joint, C. into the packing, D. of the stove. In order that this invention
may be more easily understood drawings are attached hereto, of which the following
is a description Fig. 1. represents in perspective, an elevation of the cast iron plate A.
Fig. 2. represents a front elevation of a Gas Cooking Stove showing interior of oven,
with three plates, A. fixed in position. Fig. 3 represents a section of cast iron
plate, A, when fixed in position in oven.
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.

An Improved Candlestick.
I HERMANN SACK of 12 Chelsham Road, Clapham, S.W. London, Professor of
Natural Sciences and Merchant 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 candlestick consists of a circular sheet of tough metal with a projecting
rectangular strip of the same sheet. The circular portion is stamped into the profile,
as shown in section in Fig. II. The central well marked A has running along its
conically sloping sides four low sharp angular ridges, marked B, B, B, B, in both
Fig. I and Fig. II. These ridges are produced in the process of stamping.
The projecting rectangular portion is subsequently bent over into a ring shaped
handle, marked G in Fig. I.
A thick wire of highly elastic metal is clamped into the entire edge, both of the
circular portion and the handle, so as to give to both great rigidity.
At the point D, opposite to the handle, the two ends of this wire are bent back
right across the middle of the well A, forming thus two powerful springs. The
ends at E and F are bent sharply under the edge of the candlestick, so as to prevent
any playing up or down.
The springs are 50 bent over each other as to move freely in a horizontal plane
when the ends E and F are pressed towards each other. The segmentally bent
middle portions of the springs are jagged, so as to grip very firmly.
To fix a candle, the ends E and F are pressed towards each other. The central
space between the springs above the well A, is thereby widened. The candle is
pushed perpendicularly into the well A, with sufficient pressure to cause the sharp
ridges marked B to indent the lower edge of the candle.
The springs are then released and instantly grip the candle, holding it immoveably.
To release the candle, compress the springs, and extract it. Should the candle
have become fixed by guttered grease, it will only be required to turn the candlestick
over and pour some boiling water into the space Č. On compressing the springs the
candlestump will drop out. The stump can now be gripped at its lower edge by the
springs, and consumed to the end.
To clean the candlestick it may be placed upon any stove however hot, the melted
grease poured out, and the whole wiped with a rag.
The instantaneous and secure fixing of any candle and the impossibility to injure
the candlestick by heat constitute its distinct features.
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 my candlestick will fix and hold any ordinary size candle instantly and
firmly without padding, wedging, splintering of candle etc.
2. That the candle can be instantly detached, and so refixed as to be burnt to
the very end.
3. That the absence of all soldering, and all breakable parts of china, and also of
all paint makes it possible to clean this candlestick in a more simple and rapid way
than any existing one, by heating it to any extent.

I, ALFRED L. SEWELL residing at Evanston, County of Cook, and State of
Illinois, and a citizen of the United States of America, Manufacturer, do hereby
leclare 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 has for its object to provide novel, efficient, durable and economical
clasp devices for securely closing sample and like envelopes while permitting them to
be conveniently and quickly opened and reclosed as occasion may demand. The
object of the invention is accomplished by the features of construction and com-.
bination of devices shown in the accompanying drawings and hereinafter described

In th

page_text: A cheap form of envelopes for special uses may be made by attaching the loops 6
to one or both of the opposite flaps of the envelope and connecting them by the
clamp or by its equivalent made of wire.
It is desirable in many cases to use a shipping or direction tag instead of a direct
marking on the envelope or package, but it is difficult to so attach such direction tag
to paper that it will be certain to remain, and to obviate this difficulty, I apply a thin
strip of metal g to the interior of the envelope at one end and hold it in place by an
eyelet h which fastens the strip g to the paper and furnishes a hole or opening for a
direction tag. By this arrangement, I furnish a wide bearing for the strip g which
enables it to resist strain and prevents the tearing of the envelope.
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. A clasp for closing envelopes comprising an adhesive tag carrying a wire-loop
and adapted to be cemented to an ordinary envelope, and an adhesive attaching tag
carrying a thin sheet metal clasp plate folded longitudinally upon itself and having
one folded part adapted to enter the loop of the adhesive tag and be compressed,
substantially as described.
2. A clasp for closing envelopes consisting of two adhesive tags adapted to be
cemented to an ordinary envelope and each having at one edge a wire-loop, and a
thin metal clasp plate pivoted to one of said loops and folded longitudinally upon
itself, engaging both wire-loops and having one folded part adapted to be turned up
and down, substantially as described.

Improvements in Metal Protectors for Boots and Shoes.
1. ROBERT WRIGHT, of Willow Terrace, Upper Grove Street, Redditch in the
County of Worcester, Fishing Tackle 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:-
My invention has reference to the manner in which I construct metal protectors for
attaching to the soles of boots and shoes.
I form my protecting plates or strips in any desired shape suitable for attaching to
any portion of the sole or heel of a boot or shoe. One portion of the protector 1
nake with a knife or feathered edge for the greater facility of attachment to the
leather while the upper portion I willen out to present a broad wearing surface on the
outside.
I prefer to form my protectors from strips or bars rolled with the tapered feather
edge upon it, and from this bar or strip to cut or punch out the potectors of any
required size: After cutting the protectors out from the blank or sheet strip I bend
them into any required shape before hardening or colouring them with an oil coat or
coating of other material to prevent oxidation when being stored.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings I illustrate several forms of
my improved feather edge boot protectors.
Figure 1 being a portion of a strip from which the protector may be cut.
Figure 2 being a section of the same.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 are elevation and plan respectively of a bent protector
having three sides or surfaces.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 are views of a circular or curved form of protector.
Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are detail views of other bent forms of
protectors.
my improved
Figures 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 are detail views showing the ends A, A, of the
protector formed with serrated notched surfaces for permitting the leather to enter
and become embedded in the protector this effectually securing the same to the boot
sole or heel.
The illustrations have shown on an enlarged scale for more readily setting
forth the method of carrying out 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
(1) The construction of boot protectors made out of metal having a feathered or
tapered edge for entering the leather soles or heels of boots and shoes.
(2) The construction of boot protectors having roughened recessed or serrated
surfaces for permitting the leather to enter within the metal of the protectors and
for more securely retaining the same in position, substantially as set forth.
(3) The construction of metal boot and shoe protectors as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described and substantially as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Middlesex Sanitary 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 my invention is to provide a head, top piece or cap for gullies and the
like provided with means for flushing the same, the cap, top piece or head and
the flushing arrangement being in one piece of earthenware or other suitable
material.
In carrying out my invention I provide a circular or other suitably shaped head or
cap such as shown in the accompanying drawings and marked A provided at its upper
extremity with a rebate B capable of receiving a grating or perforated or solid
plate the lower part of this cap or head is thickened out and channelled or coved all
round as shown by D D the main shaft being continued downwards forming a lip E
which almost closes the channel or cove D. The outer wall D' of the head after
curving outwardly to form the channel is again curved inwardly and terminates in
the spigot or foot F which fits into the socket G of the upper portion of a gully H;
an orifice J in the channel or cove communicates with the water or other liquid
supply.
On the water or liquid being turned on it rushes round the channel or cove and
then round the interior of the gully thoroughly cleansing the same.
My invention is specially designed for gullies or traps into which grease or sand
escapes and in which it is difficult to prevent such accumulating, the constant or
intermittent flush as arranged in my present invention tending to prevent this. It
will be readily understood that although I have shown in the drawing and described
in the foregoing a circular gully consisting of three interchangeable pieces the
principle of flushing herein referred to may be applied to all kinds of gullies in
which the head or top is capable of having a channel or cove such as D formed therein
or attached thereto.
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,
In gullies and the like providing the heads or tops thereof with a cove or channel
running round the same and connected with a fluid supply substantially as and for
the purposes described.

An Improved Method of and Instrument for Removing Cake from
Tobacco Pipes.
I CHARLES ANNESLEY BENSON of Ormonde House Sion Hill Bath Major General
of the Madras Infantry 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 :-
1. Two metal legs A, A', with looped handles B, B1, are pinned at each end C, C¹,
(in slot or otherwise) of a bar D.
2. A portion of each of the legs A, A', about 1 inch, from E, E', to F, F¹, should
be edged on the outer side in order to scrape out the cake.
3. One or both legs A, A', should be pivoted at C, C, the latter being preferable.
4. Provided that when the portions of the legs A, A¹, marked EF and E¹ F1 are
parallel, the distances of the edges E E¹, and FF equal the interior width of the
inouth of the pipe to be cleaned, it is immaterial what shape and size the legs A, A¹,
and bar D may be, so long as they are sufficiently strong and handy. The dimensions
shown in the drawing will serve for any ordinary pipe.
5. The handles B, B', are looped to enable the operator to close the points F, F, as
also with finger and thumb only, to screw the instrument round with sufficient force
to break up the cake. If flattened inside, the handles are more comfortable to hold,
this is advisable, but not absolutely necessary.
6. To use the instrument, bring the points F F together, insert them in the pipe,
press the handles B, B', together, and turn round the pipe or instrument or both, till
the cake is extracted. Frequent use will prevent the cake accumulating.
7. 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
That the separation of the legs by a bar or piece of metal, which acts as a fulcrum,
permitting an outward movement, by means of which, their exterior sides, which are
edged, may be pressed against the interior walls of a pipe, on compressing the
handles, which are looped, and flattened or not inside, for the extraction of pipe cake,
is a novelty.

Improvements, connected with Tobacco Pipes.
I, LEAH STRAUSS, of 42 Basinghall Street, in the City of London, Tobacconist
Sundries Dealer, 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 pipes for smoking to facilitate the carrying of them in
the button holes or other part of gentlemen's wearing apparel, and consists in forming
a hook, stud, button, or other similar appliance upon the bowl or the stem thereof,
or attaching a hook, stud, clip, button, or other similar appliance thereon or thereto
to enable the pipe to be attached in a temporary manner, say, to a button hole of a
coat, or other garment.
The invention is clearly shown in the accompanying drawing which represents.a
pipe bowl A with a hook B.attached to the upper part; C is an ordinary tube of
india rubber, and D the mouthpiece.
The advantages derived from the use of my invention are obvious:-
1. The hands of the smoker are free.
2. The pipe is kept away from the face.
3. The vision is not impaired by smoke.
4. The flavour of the tobacco is less nauseous to the palate.
:-
5. The smoke is comparatively cool when entering the mouth of the smoker.
6. Railway or steamboat travelling comfort is improved.
7. Rowing, riding, and driving exercise is less interfered with while smoking than
when the pipe is carried in the mouth.
It will be understood that other forms of hooks, or studs, buttons, or clips than
that shown can be used, forming part of the pipe itself, or as attachments to pipes,
and they may be. of the same material as that of the bowl, or of other material.
•
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:
1. The employment of a hook, or its equivalent on or to a pipe for smoking, by
which such pipe can be suspended from a garment worn by the smoker, for the
purposes set forth.
2. The right to suspend a pipe to a smoker's garment, whether by a hook, stud,
button, clip, projection, pin, or other appliance, substantially as hereinbefore
described.

Improvements in Corsets.
I, ELIZABETH MARY ANNE MOY, of 53, George Street, West Brighton, in
the County of Sussex, Corset 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 :-
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in corsets which
will allow of the free expansion of the chest, by reason of pieces of elastic or other
expanding material being employed in their construction as hereinafter described.
With this object in view I will describe the same in detail, so that such as are
skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may fully understand my
improvements.
In carrying out my invention I take any form of corset and on each side of
the busk I insert a piece of elastic or other expanding material that may be
suitable, cut out in the shape of a V in one or more parts as may be desired,
and placed so that the upper portion of the V will be on each side of the breast.
Corsets constructed as above described will be found to efficiently support the
wearer, and will prevent any undue pressure, as they will "give" or adapt them-
selves to every movement of the body.
The accompanying drawing represents a corset, the parts marked a. a. being 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:-
Claim. In the manufacture of corsets the use of a device formed in the shape of
a letter V substantially as and for the purposes described.

Improvements in the Coupling of Outlet or Discharge Pipes with
Sewer or Drain Pipes.
I, JOHANN GEORG MEYER, of 12, Pillnitzerstrasse, Dresden, Saxony, in the
Empire of Germany, Tinsmith, do hereby declare the nature of my 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 my invention is to effect improvements in coupling outlet or
discharge pipes with sewer or drain pipes, whereby the coupling and uncoupling
may be effected with ease and rapidity.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of an outlet for conveying water to the sewer.
Fig. 2 is a section of the coupling device.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of the flanged pipe.
Fig. 4 is a section on the line 1-2 of Fig. 5.
Figs. 5 and 6 are elevations, partly in section, showing the method of applying
the invention.
k
The discharge a is formed with a mouths, having two projections or studs e e.
is the coupling sleeve or union having internal vertical slots or grooves 11, and
transverse grooves cc. is a form of pipe suitable for coupling to the pipes, the
external flange being held by the internal flange of the coupling k.
In forming the junction the pipe is first passed through the sleeve . The
upper part of the sleeve is then passed over the pipe s, the studs e e entering
the grooves 11, as shewn in Fig. 6. The sleeve is then turned partially round the
pipe s, so as to allow the studs e e to enter the transverse grooves c c, as shewn in
Fig 5. These grooves are slightly inclined for a short distance, and terminate
horizontally, whereby the junction is effectually locked.
The sleeve is preferably made hexagonal, in order that it may be turned by a
spanner.
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 improved method of coupling discharge pipes with sewers, by means of
unions, consisting of a sleeve having internal grooves or slots and, in which
studs e e enter, and whereby a piper and discharge pipes are effectually coupled
and united, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. The general construction arrangement and combination of the several and
respective parts, together forming my improvements in the coupling of outlet or
discharge pipes with sewer or drain pipes, substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the drawings.

then make a nose piece similar to a spectacle bridge and fix it on the instrument
where it comes in contact with the nose, Fig. 2. The instrument may now be
placed upon the face like spectacles are, and held there by means of the aforesaid
sides attached. When the aforesaid sides do not hold the instrument sufficiently
easy I then attach to the object glass end of the instrument supports, Fig. 3. These
may be cords or rods. These supports may extend upward from the instrument
and be attached to head gear, Fig. 4. A. or they may extend downward and rest
on anything or be attached to any part of the person, Fig. 4. B. as may be desired.
Or they may extend in the same direction as the sides and pass over and behind
the ears where we may attach weights that may counterbalance the weight of the
instrument, Fig. 4. C.
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 for my invention is :-
