A New or Improved Educational Puzzle or Toy.
I, MARY FULTON, of 26 Gery Street, Bedford, Lady, 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 produce a new or improved educational
puzzle or toy particularly adapted to instruct and amuse children older than the
usual age for puzzles, and consists essentially in arranging upon the sides of cubes
of wood, bone, metal or other material, representations of the various kings and
queens of England and of their descendants in such manner as to form a block
puzzle. Six complete pictures may thus be formed and to render same useful and
instructive as well as amusing to children the complete pictures may be made to
represent say (1) the "Norman" House, (2) the House of "Plantagenet" (3) the
House of "York and Lancaster" (4) the House of "Tudor and Stuart" (5) the
House of "Hanover," and the sixth may be a table shewing the genealogy of
Queen Victoria from William the Conqueror.
To arrange the various blocks or cubes in proper order to correctly form one of
the complete pictures given above will necessitate a full knowledge of our
historical table of genealogy, and the puzzle or toy constructed in accordance
with this invention will afford a pleasant and attractive means of acquiring such
knowledge.
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.
The new or improved educational puzzle or toy substantially as hereinbefore
described.

igures v, are elevation and plan of the screw u
hook part A.
Figures 7 and 8, shows a modification of the round edge a³.
DU GIC
My new hook is generally formed from wrought metal such for instance as sheet
brass, iron, steel, or other metal that is to say take a piece of flat sheet metal and
pass it through dies and tools which give it configuration, both externally and
internally such as that shown upon the drawings though the design as to particular
shape and ornamentation of the circular bulge a gives room for considerable
variation in design and ornamentation when passing through the dies. It must.
however be clearly understood that this bulge a is always a circle at its edge as in
order that no mark may be left upon the face of the surface of the furniture or
other part into which it is screwed. Such hooks as the cast metal ones now in the
market are longer one way than the other and when they are mounted with a centre
screw around which the metal is cast, they are often not only very irregular upon
the face but they leave a distinct scratch or mark at each side of the hook upon
the surface to which they are screwed which is very objectionable and which my
invention entirely avoids.
Referring to the drawings A is the hook proper having the round bulge a
formed at the upper part and which may be varied in its proportions and
ornamentation but it must always be round at its base edge e which should staud
slightly away from the root of the hook a' Figures 2 & 3. The part A is first
stamped, pressed, or otherwise formed into that shown by Figure 5 having the
square or other equivalent hole a formed therein. The screw part a¹ is formed
with the square or other equivalent part a² which may finish with a round a³ or
other shape as desired for forming the external ornament as seen at a Figures 1
and 4. The screw shank a' is then placed in the hole a' and the part a³ pressed
down in the tools to form the rivet head as seen in section at Figure 3. I may use
a washer between either the inner or outer shoulders upon the part a² for either
strength or ornamentation when so desired. It will be obvious that while I prefer
to form the hook body with its round bulge a' for wrought metal that it may be
formed with a similar round bulge for cast metal.
It will be evident that a false

page_text: edge a³ Figures 7 and not round may be formed in many different ways and in
many different designs having the intimate base edge a' without in any way
avoiding 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 :-
The improvements in hooks having the circular base part a³ formed therewith in
combination with a screw a' fastened into the bulge a so that it will not turn when
being screwed home substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shown
upon the drawings.

An Improved Clip for Umbrellas.
I ALFRED GATES of Sherborne Dorset Dairy Manager, 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 combined clip and tassel for umbrellas which will
hold the points of the ribs together on the stick, the tassels being thus kept in
proper position.
The clip is formed from a steel or other spring of suitable strength, bent into a
circular form but capable of opening at the side and thus of being sprung on to the
stick when required.
This spring is covered with a suitable tape which hangs down and has attached
to its end the usual tassels.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the clip fitted on an umbrella,
Fig. 2 is a plan of the clip & tassels, and
Fig. 3, shows the spring employed.
The clip is formed by the spring A bent into circular form with the ends a
projecting from the periphery at an angle. The spring can thus be opened to
permit of it being passed over the umbrella stick. The spring is covered with the
tape or ribbon B which hangs from it for a suitable length having the tassels C at
its ends which will thus, when the clip is fitted as shown in Fig. 1 hang down and
be prevented from shifting on the stick as is commonly the case.
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 clip for umbrellas consisting of a metal spring bent into ring form and
opening at the side, covered with a ribbon having tassels fixed on its ends
substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2. The improved umbrella clip and tassel substantially as described and shown in
the drawings and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in the Construction of Cargo Discharging Bags.
I WALTER JORDAN of Royal Chambers Wellington Street Hull in the County
of York, Sail Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as
follows:-
Hitherto cargo discharging bags have been made of single canvas with ropes and
thimbles spliced, to strengthen the same.
I dispense with the said ropes and thimbles, and make the said bags of two or more
thicknesses of canvas, preferably of flax canvas, and stitch them together with
machine twine or band, by which means they are lighter, more handy, and durable.
Dated this 17th day of September 1894.

Of Savile Street, Hull, Patent Agent for the Applicant.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
The accompanying drawing shows view of discharging bag having bottom
turned or folded up and showing my improvements.
Hitherto discharging bags have been made of single canvas with a rope or ropes
running down one side, underneath, and up the other side, and having thimbles
spliced to strengthen the same.
1 dispense with the said ropes and make the bags A of a single thickness of
canvas as is usual, but with two or more thicknesses of canvas B, stitched together
with machine band or twine C, which forms a strip or piece of belting which is
carried down one side, under the bottom, and up the other side of the bag, to bear
the weight of the contents of the bag, in place of the rope hitherto used, this strip
makes the bag more pliable, and more durable, at the same time it is very handy
to use.
To take the place of the rope which in the ordinary construction of bag is left
loose at the bottom for tipping purposes, I form eyelets D in the bottom and employ
a short piece of rope E the ends of which are passed one through each eyelet, such
ends being tied or otherwise fastened inside, the rope forming a loop so that it can
be grasped by the hand.
I also employ two or more strengthening pieces of canvas F at the top of the
bag to receive the thimble G, aud prevent the bag from tearing at that part.
My improvements are applicable to all bags used for discharging purposes.

page_text: 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 :-
Constructing discharging bags with a strengthening piece or strap B, stitched
or otherwise attached, and having eyelets D, rope E and strengthening piece F in
the manner and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.

Improvements in Locking Devices for Sliding Seats of Whitechapel.
and Polo-carts and like Vehicles.
I, CHARLES GLASGOW, Reliance Carriage Works, 22 New Smithhills Street,.
Paisley, in the County of Renfrew, Coachbuilder, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention aud 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 locking devices for use in connection with the sliding-
seats of Whitechapel and polo carts or like vehicles.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention, Figure 1 being a transverse-
section, Figure 2 a longitudinal section and Figure 3 an end view of the frame and
seat of a Whitechapel cart showing the improved locking device whilst Figure 4 is.
a transverse section of a modification thereof.
Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3 the seat A has attached to it guides B which
embrace and slide upon rails C of L section secured to the side frame D of the
vehicle. The seat A is normally locked in position by bolts E the ends of which
are caused by the action of springs F to enter holes G in the rails C. The inner
ends of the bolts E have teeth H formed on them which engage with a toothed.
wheel I within a casing J the spindle of which wheel projects beyond the casing
and has a cross handle K secured upon it which is turned by hand in order to draw
back the bolts E from their holes G when it is desired to shift the seat backward or
forward. On the toothed wheel I a special tooth L is formed which by abutting
against the bolt E, as shewn, prevents said bolts being withdrawn too far from the
holes G, and which by abutting against the bottom of the casing when the bolts are
in their normal positions, prevents said bolts being entered too far through the
hole G.
In the modification illustrated by Figure a single bolt E is provided for locking
the seat in position the end of said bolt being bent at an angle to itself at M in.
order to be acted on by a cam N which is turned by means of the cross handle K
for the purpose of releasing the bolt when it is desired to shift the seat.
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-
In sliding seats for Whitechapel and polo carts or like vehicles, locking-
mechanism constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described with.
reference to the annexed drawings.

I, OSCAR AHLSWEDE, Doctor of Medicine, of Kaiser Wilhelmstrasse 116,.
Hamburg, 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 construct a pessary for closing the mouth of the
womb and allowing secretions such as leucorrhoea, fluxious, periodical discharges
from the interior of the womb to freely and expeditiously pass direct to the outside
of the vagina while preventing also the entrance or any re-entry of said secretions
or of germs of disease or secretions from the mucous membrane of the vagina into
the womb.
For this purpose, on an ordinary vaginal pessary a an orifice o with a tubular
prolongation or pipe connected therewith is provided, which hose or tube is
intended to slightly project out of the vagina when the pessary is in place. In
order that any re-entry of the secretory liquid through the tube into the mouth of
the womb be safely prevented, a valvez may be arranged at any suitable place in
the hose, which valve only opens outwardly. Further a receiving vessel of any
kind may be connected to the outer end of the tube to receive the discharge. The
tube may also be of very short length so that the valve may be placed close to
the pessary orifice o.
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 :
An improved pessary for the womb having a tubular continuation ; with or
without an anti-return valve z for the purpose set forth.

Improvement in Driving and like Belts.
I, GEORGE EDDISON STEAD of Skinner Lane Works, Leeds in the County of
York, Linen 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 belts for driving and elevating purposes and is more
particularly applicable to textile belts woven solid or made of woven fabrics folded
and sewn together with longitudinal rows of stitches and to belts composed of
textile belts faced or combined with leather but may also be used for leather belts
and consists in stiffening said belts in their transverse direction by means of rows of
stitches across the belt at regular intervals.
Said belts as ordinarily made are liable to alter in width, twist or "tuckle"
when working exposed to wet which causes them to drive badly or run off the
pulleys. The object of my invention is to obviate these inconveniences which I
effect by stitching the belt across its width preferably with copper wire but other
wire or twine or like material may be used for the purpose. The rows of cross
stitches are placed at regular intervals of two inches or more or less. By means of
such transverse stitching the belt is stiffened in this direction and prevented from
changing in width or "tuckling" and its strength generally is increased especially
in the case of textile belts, as with the ordinary longitudinal stitching the weft
threads only are surrounded and secured while the cross stitches secure or are
looped round the warp threads, thereby giving a solidarity and firmness to a belt
above all other previously used methods. The transverse stitching is more
especially applicable to folded and sewn belts but may also be used for belts woven
in one thickness or belts composed of textile material faced or bound with leather
or leather belts both for driving and elevator belts. The textile belts to which the
cross stitching is applied may be made of any fibrous material used for belts.
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 stiffening of belts in their transverse direction by means of cross stitching
with wire, twine or equivalent material substantially as hereinbefore described and
for the purposes set forth.
2. The manufacture and use of belts stitched across their width at regular
intervals substantially as hereinbefore described.

In carrying out my invention I cause to be made either of bent iron or any other
metal or wood or other suitable matèrial a croquet hoop in the usual shape so well
known and used but so constructed that it has a stop so fixed that when driven into
the ground a certain depth it can go no further: this stop is preferably either a
bend in each arm of the hoop, as shewn in the drawings Figs. 1 & 2 and
marked A. A and B. B. or preferably a collar fixed on each arm either rivetted,
soldered or otherwise fixed as shewn in the drawings marked Figs. 3 & 4 &
marked C. C. & D. D. but it will be easily seen that stops can be of different
shapes to those already described and answer the purposes of my invention.

may be omitted between the stops, but I prefer their use as it prevents the foot
from slipping forward.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is.-
1st. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, a hollow hub for the pedal shaft provided
integrally with the hollow laterally projecting arms to which the foot-plates may
be secured, substantially as set forth.
2nd. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, a hub provided integrally with laterally
projecting hollow arms in combination with foot-plates secured to said arms.
3rd. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, a pedal-shaft having an end threaded to
turn into the crank-arm and provided with a shoulder at the inner end of said
thread for receiving a wrench.
4th. The shaft, A, threaded at, ½, and provided with the shoulder, f, in com-
bination with the hub, C, journalled on said shaft.
5th. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, the foot-plate, D, provided with the
stops, p, and brads, m, arranged on a curve, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
6th. The improved pedal herein described comprising the hub, C, in which the
pedal-shaft may journal and having the hollow arms, k, and the foot-plates, D,
secured to the ends of said arms.
7th. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, the combination, with the foot-plate, of a
detachable tip comprising an angle-iron shaped to receive said plate and faced with
rubber, and devices for detachably securing said iron to said plate.
8th. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, the tip, H, comprising the iron, q, having
a rubber cushion vulcanized thereon, and a screw for detachably securing the same
to a pedal foot-plate.
9th. In a crank-pedal for velocipedes, a foot-plate arranged transversely in
parallelism with the pedal-shaft and having upwardly projecting stops at its ends.

An Improved Stove.
FERDINAND HANSEN, Grossestrasse 85, Flensburg, Prussia, 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 stove has two air inlets as per accompanying sketch viz. a and b. By one
of these, b, air is admitted into the fire, whilst the other, a, admits air to check the
combustion. A damper serves to open and to close both inlets. When the damper
is placed in the position c, b is open and a closed, and the fire has direct draft.
Position, opening a and b gives the effect to moderate the fire.
Position c³,
a is opened and b is closed, the fire being damped. The arrangement of the inlets
can be varied; the damper can be replaced by other equivalent mechanism. There
are in the back or in the sides of the stove one or more flues 2, in communication
through slits with the combustion chamber d, allowing the smoke to enter into
flue. The opening S serves as fresh air inlet into the flue i. This air is greatly
heated before arriving at the slits and will be entirely mixed with the smoke,
insuring a complete combustion. When the arrangement of the draft in the
flue is varied, the place of the air inlet S must be changed in a corresponding
manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inver-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. Stoves with two air inlets, the one to admit air to the fire, the other to check
the draft, both inlets to be opened or closed by one damper or by other equivalent
mechanism, by which the one inlet is quite or partially opened and the other at
the same time quite or partially closed.
2. A flue, connected with the combustion chamber by slits, is thus arranged,
that through an inlet heated air enters into the flue at that point, where the smoke
enters from the combustion chamber, mingling there with the smoke and rendering
it combustible.

A New or Improved Meat Extract.
I, RICHARD FRANCIS MACLOSKEY of 177 Denmark Road, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, 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 a new or improved meat extract designed to combine
the advantages of raw and of cooked extracts with a greater degree of palatability
than is possessed by the best raw extracts now in use.
According to my invention I take lean beef or other suitable meat and having
removed all the fat therefrom as far as practicable, I submit it to pressure so as
to obtain all its available juices which are then inspissated or desiccated with or
without the previous addition of salt or other flavouring substances. If such
substances are not added to the meat juice before inspissation or desiccation, they
may be added thereafter either before being packed for sale or at the time of use.
A most suitable addition as a flavouring substance is ordinary meat extract,
prepared for example according to Liebig's process.
I usually prefer to proceed in the following manner :—The juice having been
expressed from the meat as hereinbefore described, I mix with it about one eighth
part, more or less of culinary salt and evaporate at a moderate heat to a thick
syrupy condition or to the dry state. This product may be then packed for sale
and use. In using it, about equal parts of the Liebig or other meat extract of a
similar kind and of the inspissated or desiccated juice are mixed, and a sufficiency
of hot water is added. Or, I may before packing the extract for sale and use, mix
the inspissated or desiccated salty juice with an equal or other proportion of the
Liebig or similar meat extract, adding pepper sauce or other flavouring ingredients
or not, as may be desired. In this case of course no flavouring material need be
added to the extract when using it, and the addition of hot water only will be
necessary.
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 meat extract prepared by expressing the juices of raw lean meat and
evaporating them to a thick consistency or to dryness, with or without the previous
addition of a flavouring substance, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. A meat extract consisting of the inspissated or desiccated juice of raw lean
meat mixed with Liebig or similar meat extract, with or without the addition of
salt or other flavouring agent, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Toe Protectors for Boots and Shoes.
We, EDWARD WHITE of 8 Devon Street, Bootle in the County of Lancaster
Baker, and JAMES PARR of 36 Brookhill Road, Bootle aforesaid, Brass Moulder,.
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 :-
Hitherto the toes of boots and shoes have sometimes been protected by caps
fastened between the upper and the sole during manufacture and fixed by pegs,
rivets or their equivalent, thus being fixtures, which are non-detachable.
Now by our invention we provide a toe-cap which can be affixed to a boot or
shoe in its finished state and detached therefrom when required.
The invention will be best understood from the following description, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and numerals marked
thereon, in which
and
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a boot with our improved toe-cap affixed thereto,.
Figure 2 a section.
In these figures, A is the boot, B the metal toe-cap which forms a sheath for the
protection of the toe. This sheath which is wrought, moulded or stamped into the
required form, covers the upper leather of the toe and extends far enough over
the edge of the sole a as to enable it to be nailed or screwed on. It is made
precisely the same shape as the toe of the boot and is affixed thereto with its edges.
coincident therewith, whereby it is prevented from catching hold of, or scratching
articles while the boot is being worn. The cap may be blackened to make it the
same colour as the boot, and the upper part may be perforated, if desired, to render
it ornamental and at the same time pliant.
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 improved toe-caps for boots and shoes substantially as described and
shown on the accompanying drawings.
2. A toe-cap with its edges coincident with the upper leather of the toe, and
extending downwards far enough over the edge of the sole to admit of it being
nailed or screwed thereto, substantially as described.

Improvements in Water Closets.
I, WALTER CLIFF, of Western Flatts, Wortley, near Leeds, in the County of
York, Manufacturer of Fire Clay Goods, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, a communication to me from The J. L. Mott Ironworks Company, of
New York, in the United States of America, and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The invention has for its object improvements in water closets whereby the
necessity for a separate scat is avoided.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a water closet constructed with my improve-
ments and having a flushing rim, and Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.
Figure 3 is a section of the flushing rim of a water closet as hitherto constructed,
and
Figure 4 is a section of the flushing rim as altered to form a seat.
a is the body of the pan or basin, which, in the form shown in the drawings, is
made in one with the trap band with a footing c to support the same, such parts
being of form and construction well known and in common use. If desired the
basin a may be made separate from the trap band footing c, and they may be of
any suitable design.
According to my present invention, instead of forming the rim a¹ of the pan or
basin a narrow as heretofore made, as shown at Fig. 3, and in dotted lines at
Figure 4, I extend the said rim and suitably curve and shape it, as shown in
Figures 1, 2, 4, so as to form a comfortable seat, the same being in one piece with
the body a of the pan and thereby obviating the necessity for fitting a separate
seat to the closet. The extended rim a' is shown formed as a flushing rim, but if
desired it may be otherwise formed.
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 water closet having an extended and suitably curved and shaped rim made
in one piece with the pan or basin and forming a seat, substantially as herein shown
and described.
2. A water closet seat made in one piece with the pan or basin, substantially as
erein shown and described.
