IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF PORTABLE FURNITURE
Year: 1885

page_text: "
We JOHN THOMAS COOKE and JAMES LEECH BOTTOMLEY both of Rose Bank
Prestwich in the County of Lancashire, Loom Builders do hereby declare the
nature of "IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF PORTABLE FURNITURE 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 portable furniture which is
very compact and at the same time very light and strong.
And in order that our said invention may be understood we will now describe
the same with reference to the accompanying sheets of drawing in which figure 1
sheet 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section, of a chair or stool constructed
according to our said invention. Figure 2 sheet 2 is a back view of same. In both
views the same letters denote the same parts. a a¹ a² and a³ shew metal tubes of
which the framework is composed. b shews a socket piece having four arms on
which or in which the tubes a¹, which form the legs, fit. c is a stretcher bar
connected to the lower tubes a¹. a is the side horizontal tube of the seat which is
connected to the leg tubes a¹ by means of the socket d having a bearing e at top
through which the tubes a³ at back and front slide and fit. as a³ are two tubes
(or these may be metal, straps or wire) the ends of which are bent so as to fit into
the back and front tubes a³ and thus form stretcher bars so as to keep the leg
tubes a ridged at top as shewn at figure 1. f is a tube fitting into the socket
piece b through which former a bar g passes, this bar is square at h in order to
prevent its turning when the washer is screwed thereon so as to brace the whole
of the leg pieces a¹ firmly together the said bar being held at other end by
shoulder n.
k shews two pieces of metal wire which support the wooden back
these pieces are flattened at their lower ends and drilled so as to take over the
pins m connected to the upper ends of the leg tubes a' the spring pins o holding
them on by this means the back will fold down. The tubes a² a² are plugged up
with wood so that the flexible material p forming the seat may be rolled round
the said tubes and screwed thereto as shewn at figure 2. 7 shews knobs to prevent
the leg tubes from being forced into the ground.
It will be seen that a chair or stool constructed as above is very portable as when
taken to pieces it consists simply of a few tubes which will fold up in a small
parcel.

page_text: Although we have described and shewn a chair or stool constructed according to
our said invention it is obvious that we can construct other furniture on the same
principle such as tables and bedsteads for example.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
Portable furniture, the framework of which is chiefly composed of metal tubes
socketted together substantially as set forth.
LEAVES OF METAL, OR METAL IN POWDER TO VENEERS OF wood FOR DECORATION

de Tabago and I CHARLES DE BOURBON D'ESTE, PALEOLOGUS, GONZAGA Prince of
Mantua, Montferrat, Ferrara, Nevers, Réthel and Alençon Master of Lennox and
Ménteth Baron de Tabago both of 18 Elgin Road St. Peter's Park, Paddington
in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
the APPLICATION OF LEAVES OF METAL, OR METAL IN POWDER TO VENEERS OF
wood FOR DECORATION and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
"
The object is to ornament veneers with metal so as to produce, gilding, silvering
or bronzing in any special design or pattern.
For this purpose we print or paint on the veneer from dies, blocks, stencils or
stones, with Japanner's gold size or with other adhesive substance and afterwards
affix to the surface so printed or painted, leaves of metal or metal in powder. The
veneer when dry is then ready for finishing which is accomplished either by
pressing it between rollers or in a flat press, to give smoothness and polish thereto,
when the veneer is ready for varnishing, if it is desired to do so before mounting
it on paper cloth or other flexible material, or for mounting on wood pasteboard
metal, plaster, stucco, brick or store.
We claim to protect these seven last named applications of the veneers which
have been decorated with metal as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1. The application of Metal, either in the form of leaves or powder to Wood
Veneer which has been printed or painted on with size or other adhesive material.
2. Cementing the Veneer so decorated, to Wood, Paper, Cloth, Leather or other
flexible material, Pasteboard, Millboard, or Strawboard Plaster, Stucco, Brick or
Stone or Metal or other material.

JARS OR RECEPTACLES"
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLASS, EARTHENWARE, AND OTHER
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
This invention refers to improvements upon an invention for which Letters
Patent No. 4817 were granted to me on the 13th day of March 1884 and consists
in forming a spiral groove surrounding the outside of the neck or mouth of the jar
or other receptacle, provided with openings to receive a corresponding number of
projections on the inside of the lid and which projections when turned into the
spiral groove, serve to draw the lid tightly down on to an india-rubber or other
suitable washer and thus to enclose the contents of the jar or other receptacle in a
perfectly air-tight manner.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing illustrates a side view of a glass jar
embracing my improvements. Fig. 2 is a sectional view and Fig. 3 a plan of the
lid or cover. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the top of the jar with the cover removed, and
Fig. 5 is a front view of the same glass jar.
In all the views a is the body of the jar; 6 the spiral groove, surrounding the
outside of its neck or mouth and c the slots or openings to permit the projections d
It will be readily
on the lid to pass and thus to obtain access to the groove b.
apparent that when the lid is thus placed in position (as indicated by the dotted
lines in Fig. 1) upon the jar and then turned in the direction of the arrows in Fig. 4
that the projections d entering the groove 6 (which is arranged in a spiral direction)
will draw down the lid into close contact with the india-rubber washer e situated
inside the lid, and thus effect a perfectly air-tight joint. Instead of the washer
being inside the lid as seen in Fig. 2 it may be placed upon the flange of the jar
beneath the outer edge of the lid as indicated by letter in Fig. 1.

iron door maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to simplify the construction of a safe thereby
reducing the cost of manufacture at the same time that I obtain increased security.
This I effect by rivetting a strong middle body to the underneath edge of a
Tiron frame whereby I dispense with all necessity for finishing such body and use
the same in the rough.
In order to obtain greater security from either fire or thieves I fit the inner
door of the safe in such a manner that it laps over the edge of the inner body or
case of the safe.
By this simple but important improvement I not only obtain greater security
from fire but also render it impossible to force open the safe by means of a wedge
or crow bar or otherwise.

end of the rink skate. In the interior of the rubber casing c is the rubber buffer e
see (figs. 3 and 4), which knocks against the cheek f (figs. 2 and 3) of the side
part a reaching into the casing c every time that a shock is caused by the uneven-
ness of the rinking ground. The springs h h are fastened by means of screws g to
the upper surface of the rubber casing and press against cheeks iii, which are
applied to the side parts a a of the skate, and in this manner take up every shock
caused by the uneven ground.
The slot d made in the side part a of the rink skate gives the roller more play
to take up the shocks produced by the uneven ground, and hereby, it is rendered
possible to skate along street pavements.

two side parts c.
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 rink skates the application of the side parts a provided with cheeks fi and
slit d in combination with the rubber casing c fastened to the roller-axle m, on to
the first of which the springs h are screwed and in the interior of which are placed
the rubber buffers e which are intended to take up and lessen the shock caused by
the unevenness of the ground.

page_text: I, JOSEPH HAMMOND, of Lambourne, Southsea, in the County of Hants, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED VENT
PEG" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention consists of a perforated plug which is screwed through the
substance of the barrel so as to afford a passage for air.
This passage is closed by means of a spindle or pin attached to a cap which
screws onto the outer end of the plug. To admit air or allow it to escape, the cap
is unscrewed and the passage down the plug is opened. The pin attached to the
cap is longer than the plug and an enlargement on the inner end prevents it from
becoming detached and lost.
In order that my Invention may be more fully understood, I hereto annex a
sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof.
Figure 1 represents a sectional view of the vent peg with the air passage closed,
Figure 2 a similar view with the air passage open, and Figure 3 a full elevation.
a represents a tubular peg or plug threaded at both ends and provided with
projections b by means of which it can be screwed into the barrel. A hole is
bored through the side of the plug at c which is closed against the admission of air
by means of the cap d, the latter being screwed down onto the rubber washer c.
To admit air, the cap is raised as shewn in Figure 2, the pin f preventing it from
becoming detached or lost. A rubber washer g is employed for the purpose of
securing a perfect joint between the peg and the barrel.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I desire it to be
understood that what I claim is
The construction of vent pegs, in manner substantially as herein shewn and
described.

page_text: Cuffs, Sleeves, or other Articles.
I, JULIUS LUCIEN TOURTON of 379 Kennington Road London S.E. Exhibitors
Representative at the Inventions Exhibition do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved suspender or fastener for holding or
supporting cuffs, sleeves or other articles said suspender consisting essentially of
what is known as a safety pin combined or formed with a hook or hook and eye
and in order that my invention and its application may be clearly understood
reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this speci-
fication and in which-
Figs. 1 and 2 represent the safety pins and
Figs. 3 to 9 some of its many applications.
In Fig. 3 but one safety pin is shown and this is represented as being attached
to the inside of coat sleeve. In Fig. 4 it. is shown as holding the shirt cuff. In
Fig. 5 it is represented as being attached to a shirt sleeve and in Fig. 6 as holding
up the cuff of said sleeve but in all of these arrangements the hook when holding the
cuff comes over it and has a tendency to bend or crease it besides being more
or less unsightly the cuff being also liable to slip out of the hook. To obviate.
these objections I prefer to use a second safety pin provided with an eye with
which the hook is adapted to engage. This application of my invention is so
clearly represented in Figs. 7, 8 and 9 that further description is not deemed
necessary.
It may be mentioned that my invention is particularly applicable for holding up
shirt cuffs or sleeves during work, when washing, playing billiards or at any time
when it is desired to have the wrists and lower arm free, for slightly raising trousers
during muddy weather without putting unusual strain on the braces or for
fastening trousers tightly around the ankle when cycling. The invention being
also equally applicable for use by ladies upon skirts or other articles of dress.
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
The improved suspender or fastener substantially as described and as illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
IMPROVEMENT IN ARTIFICIAL MILL-STONES OR BURRS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the city of Westminster, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENT IN
ARTIFICIAL MILL-STONES OR BURRS, a communication to me from abroad by Robert
Meissner, Manufacturer, of Brüggen, in the German Empire, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
Experience has shown, that the production of grinding surfaces, similar to those
of mill-stones, on a thin glass plate of only about 8 centimetres thickness, as
described in the specification of the German Patent of Robert Meissner N° 4181, is
not practical, as these proportionally large and thin glass plates in consequence of
the unavoidable tensions of the same have not the required durability, especially,
when wrongly treated. The inventor has therefore constructed glass mill stones,
in the manner hereinafter described, which mill stones have not only proved to be
very durable and effective, but also to give an especially white and beautiful flour,
such as cannot be obtained by the stones and rollers hitherto used.
.
These improved glass mill stones are constructed of two, three, four or more
segmental pieces of glass of considerable thickness, which, on the one hand, is hard
enough for allowing also hard grains to be ground without excessive wear, and
which, on the other hand, is sufficiently elastic to sustain, without getting cracks,
the heat originating from incautious treatment.
This glass made in the ordinary fashion is brought into the required segmental
shape either by casting it in moulds or by cutting the same from large plates;
subsequently the glass is ground on one side or it is employed without grinding, if
its surface is already sufficiently plane.
The segments thus prepared are joined together to form mill stones in the same
manner as with the French mill stones hitherto used. The glass stones are
sharpened as heretofore by means of diamonds or other tools, comonly used for
this purpose.

page_text: 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
Mill stones or burrs, composed or formed of several segmental pieces of glass, in
the manner substantially as described.
A SUPPLY VALVE FOR WATER CLOSETS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WITH A AFTER-FLUSH, AND ALSO A WATER-WASTE PREVENTER COMBINED FOR USE UNDER THE SEAT
Year: 1885

page_text: ABRAHAM EMANUEL, 53, 55 & 57 Marylebone Lane London W, Sanitary
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A SUPPLY VALVE FOR
WATER CLOSETS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WITH A AFTER-FLUSH, AND ALSO A
WATER-WASTE PREVENTER COMBINED FOR USE UNDER THE SEAT 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 a Valve regulator. inlet C to Valve A is opened by lifting
Lever H to which is attached Lever I by a pin P fixed in the latter but working
loosely in a Slot Q in Lever H the water passing through Valve A into Valve B.
While passing through Valve B it passes at same time through Channel D on
Valve E being regulated by Stuffing box F and then passing at same time through
Valve E into Channel L where it is stopped by Valve K thus making it a Water-
Waste Preventer Valve. By releasing Lever H brought down by weight Othe
end of Lever I lifts Valve K thus releasing the Water in Channel L and giving the
After-flush which is regulated by Channel S & Stuffing-box J and closed by
weight M at end of Spindle N.
As Lever I is raised it releases Valve K which is shut off by a Spring R thus
making it impossible to keep the two Valves open at the same time except during
the short time the After-flush is taking place When Lever H is dropped for
the After-flush it has no connection with shutting off Valve A as the weight M
closes it.
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 application of two Levers to two Valves thus insuring a certain After-
flush which cannot possibly be interfered with, and by the weight underneath

page_text: spindle assisting to close Valve which otherwise would not close quickly under a
strong pressure, substantially as described in the specification.
2. The action and results of a Water-Waste Preventer Valve, substantially as
described in the specification.
3. The action of Valve K with channel leading to and from it, securing an
After-flush, substantially as described in the specification.

page_text: We CHARLES MAYS and WILLIAM PRICE PEPYS both of 11 Eastcheap in the
City of London Gentlemen's Hosiers do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOVES" to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a glove having all the appearance of a
glove of kid or other skin but yet much cooler for wear.
In order to attain this object we form the forgets or gussets between the fingers
of a more porous material than skin. The material which we prefer to employ is
what is known as transverse silk or taffeta which is commonly employed for
the manufacture of gloves but any other strong and open fabric or material
may be employed. The rest of the glove is made of kid or other skin in the
ordinary way.

page_text: We, CHARLES MAYS and WILLIAM PRICE PEPYS both of 11 Eastcheap in the
City of London, Gentlemen's 'Hosiers 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 produce a glove having all the appearance of a
glove of kid or other skin but yet much cooler to wear.
In order to attain this object we form the forgetts or gussets between the fingers
of a more porous material than skin. The material which we prefer to employ is
what is known as traverse or transverse silk or taffeta which is commonly
employed for the manufacture of gloves, but any other strong and open fabric or
material may be employed. The rest of the glove is made of kid or other skin in
the ordinary way.
Thus it will be seen that our improved glove closely resembles an ordinary kid
glove, it is entirely of leather with the exception of parts which are scarcely seen
when the glove is in wear, that is to say with the exception of the parts at the
sides of the fingers and between them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
A leather glove with the forgetts or gussetts between the fingers of traverse
or transverse silk or other strong and open fabric woven or produced from silk or
other fibrous material.
Improvements in Cigarette Paper and in Cigarettes.
Year: 1885

page_text: Improvements in Cigarette Paper and in Cigarettes.
We, 'WILLIAM BRADFORD of 9 Church Street Liverpool in the County of
Lancaster cigarette manufacturer and LOUIS BLUMFELD of 121 Queen Victoria
Street in the City of London, merchant do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN CIGARETTEPAPER AND IN CIGARETTES and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
.
The manufacture of cigarette paper (and cigarettes therewith) in accordance
with the specification of William Bradford No 3011 (dated 9th February 1884) is
in some cases subject to the objection that the cigarette paper becomes so deeply
stained by the perfume used as to be unsightly, or it becomes (in some instances)
only colored in patches; which again is objectionable.
The object of this invention is to overcome the above difficulties.
I take the proportions stated of the following scents (in solid or dry_form)
viz: Musk (grain), one quarter ounce, and Ambergris, twenty grains; these I place
together in a mortar and grind them with the pestle until they are perfectly
smooth and very firm. The following scents in proportions stated against each,
(viz: Oil of Lavender, one ounce and a quarter; Oil of Cloves, one ounce; Sterax
(strained), one ounce; Balsamum of Peru, one ounce; Oil of Sandal Wood, one
drachm; Essence of Orris root, two ounces; Essence of Vanilla, two ounces;
Essence of Tonquin beans, two ounces and a half; and Otto of Roses, one drachm)
in liquid form are well mixed together. This mixture of liquid scents, together
with one quarter ounce of crystal (cane) sugar, well powdered, is then poured upon
the mixture of dry scents, and is well mixed therewith.
The mixture thus made is placed in a glass jar, and well corked, and allowed to
stand for 48 hours. After this period has elapsed, we apply the mixture to.
ordinary paper suitable for cigarette making, by means of a camel's hair (or other
soft) brush. The papers thus prepared are then placed one on the top of another
between porcelain slabs and are put under pressure for 48 hours. The paper is
then ready for use and can be cut up and used for making cigarettes in the
ordinary way.

page_text: A cigarette formed with paper according to this process gives off a pleasant
perfume whilst being smoked, and conceals all the objectionable smell attendant
on smoking cigarettes made with. paper. not prepared in a manner as above
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that we
claim
1. The preparation of paper for cigarettes by impregnating it with perfume
substantially as above described.
2. The application of paper so scented to the making of cigarettes

LIGHTING FIRES
Year: 1885

page_text: J, GEORGE HANDY of No 43 South Street, Worthing, Sussex, " Coal Merchant"
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for LIGHTING FIRES to be as
follows:-
A composition of inflammable materials formed into blocks as shown on
drawings. The materials used are Rosin, Tar, and Sawdust. The way of manu-
facturing these lighters is by making the materials hot, and while hot they are well
mixed, and then compressed and moulded.
Dated this 24th day of June 1885.

page_text: When complete the size of the lighters are four and a half inches in length, two
and a half inches in width, and half of an inch in thickness, with two half inch
perforations.
In manufacturing these lighters I mix the Rosin and Tar together and make
them hot in an apparatus provided for that purpose, and while in a liquid state
the sawdust is added and all the materials are thoroughly mixed. While the
mass is still in a heated state it is turned into a machine provided for the purpose
of compressing and moulding the lighter into the shape as described and as shown
on drawings.
The materials are found to answer, best when used in the following proportions;
-Rosin twenty four pounds, Tar one gallon, Sawdust eight gallons.
An important improvement in these lighters are their form and size, being so
designed that while one end of the lighter rests on the bottom of the grate, the
other end may reach and rest on the first bar, the object being that the grate may
be filled up with Coal over the lighter previous to lighting, and yet allow the air
free access to the lighter to facilitate combustion.
Another advantage is that where the bars of the grate are close enough the
lighter may be placed lengthways in the grate allowing the side of the lighter to
rest on the first bar, which will still better disperse the flame.
The perforations give a double advantage, as on a light being applied to the
holes the lighter ignites instantaneously, and they also increase the air draught.
These lighters will burn freely for fully half an hour and their form and size make
them very convenient for packing and conveying, these features combined making
them a most simple, economical and effectual Fire Lighter.
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. Fire Lighters made and composed of the following materials;-Rosin, Coal
Tar, and Wood Sawdust, substantially as described.
2. Fire Lighters composed of the inmaterials herein stated, made in the form and
size as shown on drawings, that is:-four and a half inches long two and a half
inches wide, and half of an inch thick, with two half inch circular perforations
substantially as described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN DEVICES TO PROMOTE THE CATCHING OF FISH
Year: 1885

page_text: We, FRANÇOIS CORDON, of St Pierre, Miquelon, Merchant, and JAMES SCOTLAND,
of the same place, Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN DEVICES TO PROMOTE THE CATCHING OF FISH". to be as
follows that is to say:-
Our said Invention has for its object to promote the catching of fish by employing
improved devices arranged according to one modification to act as baits or according
to another modification to attract the fish to the locality where the fisherman
desires to operate.
Our Invention consists in employing what is known as luminous paint or any of
the phosphorescent sulphides, and in enclosing the same in glass or other suitable
translucent material. When intended to act as a bait to be seized by the fish the
casing will be made of a comparatively small size and of a form imitating that of
the bait which would be ordinarily employed; it may however be made of any
form that may be found suitable in practice. For the purpose of attracting fish
the casing will generally be of larger size, various sizes and forms will, however,
probably be found to answer. Before using the improved devices they must be
exposed to daylight or other light of sufficient intensity.

IMPROVEMENTS IN SPOOL CABINETS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JACOB HERBERT NEW, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the
Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, Manufacturer's Agent do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SPOOL CABINETS, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention consists of a rectangular cabinet, having internal tiers of tracks,
inclining towards the front, on which tracks the spools are placed end to end from
the rear, and discharged through openings in the front of the case at the foot of
the tracks, onto a shelf having a cavity into which a spool tumbles in an erect
position and stops the other spools on the track from sliding until the erect spool
is forcibly removed by picking it out of the cavity.
Figure 1 is a front elevation, and
Figure 2 a transverse vertical section, of my improved spool cabinet.
A, is the rectangular spool-case, having internally tiers of tracks B, arranged in
rows, each track adapted to receive a number of spools F, end-wise, and the tracks
may be made semi-tubular or formed by dividing a flat floor into track-sections by
strips planted thereon.
The rear of the case has perforations C, at the top of each track to insert the
spools, and the front of the case at the foot of each track is correspondingly
perforated to outlet the spools. D, are shelves at the front of each row of tracks,
the shelves having a circular cavity E, at the outlet of each track into which cavity
a spool will tumble and stand end-wise erect and arrest the downward progress of
the spools on the same track, by the end of the lower spool abutting against the
erect spool. When the erect spool is forcibly removed by hand, the succeeding
spool will tumble into the cavity and stop the succeeding spools from descending,
thus preventing more than one spool escaping or being removed at a time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
A spool-holder cabinet, constructed of a rectangular case A, having internal
inclined tracks B, and external shelves D, provided with cavities E, to receive the

page_text: lower spool discharging from the track, whereby the last discharged spool will
tumble into an erect position, and laterally prevent the remaining spools from sliding
endwise down the track, until forcibly removed by hand, as set forth.

Improved Apparatus for Turning Grindstones, Adapted to Serve
as a Tool-rest.
JOSEPH STAINCLIFFE, Lane Ends, Oakworth, near Keighley, Yorkshire, Machine
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for TURNING GRINDSTONES
TRUE and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
It is a machine made of a cast iron casing (a) bolted on to the trough of a
grindstone for the purpose of turning it true. It contains a chilled metal roller (b)
having wrought iron shaft through the centre (c) also a cut V thread around the
face (d) and groved lengthways in three or four groves (e). This roller frictions
against the grindstone, revolves along with it and cuts it to a smooth true surface.
It is adjusted by two thumbscrews (f) supplied with checknuts (9) whilst revolving.
Besides this, the casing is adapted to serve the purpose of a rest (h) whilst grinding
either the end or side of the tool.
The apparatus, after being adjusted to the grindstone wheel, is self acting, and
needs very little attention from the workman. It has the advantage of turning
the face of the grindstone wheel to a flat surface or slightly convex as may be
required, by simply adjusting the thumb-screws, and that it is adapted to serve as
a tool-rest.
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 :-
Claims: 1. That the casing is made. so as to serve as a tool rest either while the
machine is at rest or working.
2. That it is so arranged as to allow the grindstone wheel to be turned to a flat
surface or slightly convex as may be required.
3. That the roller is made from chilled metal, with a V thread on the face, and 2
groved lengthways, having a wrought iron shaft through the centre.

A REVERSIBLE SPINNING TOY and
Year: 1885

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, JOSEPH DAVIES Retired Grocer (Daylight Villa Buckley Flintshire Postal
Address Chester do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A REVERSIBLE
SPINNING TOY and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
It consists first of a handle, (of convenient length) which is perforated from end
to end by two holes. Through one end of this handle I drill a hole in which I fix
a short metal wire or wooden spindle so that it stands out a right angles to the
handle, this is revolved in the hole by means of a piece of cord which is passed
through one of the perforations in the handle, round the spindle, and then back"
through the other perforation. The spindle is roughened or provided with a small
pulley or otherwise formed so as to give a greater grip to the cord than is afforded
by the bare wire or wood. (Or I fix a box of tin or other material to the end of
the handle to contain the pulley affixed to the spindle round which the cord passes)
Across the top of the spindle, at right angles to it is fixed crossbar of wire or
wood, having pivots at each extremity upon which are fixed short bars which
revolve freely upon them.
To these short bars are fixed rows of figures representing Soldiers, Banners,
Animals &c and the whole is set in motion by pulling one end of the string which
revolves the spindle and crossbars. The motion is reversed and kept up by pulling
each string alternately.
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
1st The apparatus, or toy, substantially as described hereinbefore.
2nd The use of a reversible motion substantially as described hereinbefore, for
the purpose set forth.
