Improvements in Door Furniture.
I, ERNEST CHArles Lea, of Silverdale, Kingston-on-Thames, in the County
of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in door furniture, which consists of an
adjustable knob with a spring pawl operating on a ratchet formed on the spindle.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a plan of a metallic rim or plate screwed to the knob.
Fig. 2, is an elevation of the knob and spindle.
Fig. 3, is a vertical section of the knob and spindle.
This invention is constructed with a metallic square box having a plate or
rim b, and at or near the top of the box h is a pawlf with a spring rivetted or
otherwise fixed to the same, this said pawlf works loosely on a fixed spindle i. At
each end of the spindle a I cut a ratchet as in Fig. 3. The box and plate
or rim b is fixed to the knob d by burnishing the edge of the rim 6 over the base of
the neck of the knob d or by countersunk screws c. The pawl may be thrown
away from the ratchet on the spindle a by passing a pointed instrument in the
hole e at the base of the neck of the knob d and pressing the tail end of the pawl
against the box h; thus by this means the knob is easily removed from the
spindle.
The knob d is fixed to the spindle a by means of the pawlf being forced
in between the teeth of the ratchet at the end of the spindle by the action
of the spring g. Spring g is constructed of flat steel ribbon or steel wire of any
suitable shape and attached to any portion of the pawlf spindle i or box h for the
purpose hereinbefore described.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration only, and
that the shapes, materials, and proportions of the various parts may be varied in.
many ways within the scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In door furniture, the combination of the plate or rim b and the square box /
pawlspindle i spring g, hole e in the knob and the knob d with the ratchet
on the spindle a, substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying
drawing.
2. In door furniture, the combination of the pawl and spring and the adjustable
knob with the ratchet cut at each end of the spindle, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In door furniture, the fixing of a door knob on a ratchet cut in the spindle
by means of a spring pawl, substantially as herein described and for the purpose
specified.

An Improved Inspection and Oleaning Eye on Drain Pipes.
1, JAMES MOSORIP, No. 59 Marchmont Road, Edinburgh, Inspector of
Buildings, and 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 invention relating to an improved inspection and cleaning eye or chamber,
on drain traps, bends &c. formed at a sloping or oblique angle. has for its object to
simplify and facilitate the inspection and the cleansing of drain pipes. By its
means the interior of the drain pipes can be inspected at any time without resorting
to the objectionable necessity of inserting the head into the drain pipe or inspection
chamber, as it at present exists.
This simple means of inspecting the drain pipes will be found to be of the
greatest importance, especially when the pipes are being laid in position, to ensure
that no surplus cement or other material, is left within the pipe to cause chokage.
For cleansing purposes, rods, or other apparatus can be used with the greatest
freedom, effecting thereby a considerable saving on the wear and tear, when com-
pared with the rubbing they are at present subjected to, on the flanges or faucets.
In the case of the improved inspection eye on the trap, the flushing power is
increased by means of the inlet being at a higher elevation above the trap, than is
usual, thus preventing sediment lying in the bottom of the latter.
The covers are bedded down with fine milled clay or other suitable material, and
hold in position by galvanized iron pins inserted into a hole, formed in the flange
or socket, or, by means of an iron bridle and screw, as the circumstances require.
The improvements in inspection eyes on drain pipes, embraced by this invention,
includes, their being either round, square or oval in shape, and also, their being
made in fireclay, earthenware, iron or other metal.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
Fig. 1. shews the improved inspection eye, a. in conjunction with a drain trap.
Fig. 2. shows it as applied to a vertical bend or knee on the drain pipes.
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 ;-
An improved inspection eye formed at a slope or angle, and of a circular or other
shape, to afford greater facilities for the inspection and cleansing of drain pipes,
such as is herein described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

A Combined Electric Launch and Sailing Vessel.
I KERBEY DAVERON BOWEN of Ray Mead Works, Maidenhead in the County
of Berks. Electrical Launch Builder 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 :-
In steam launches it is not possible to arrange the vessel so that it can be con-
veniently propelled by sails or by oars when occasion may render it desirable to
use such means of propulsion. The object of my invention is to provide a launch
or vessel which can be used either as a launch propelled by power within itself or
when occasion arises by means of sails; and the arrangement may also be such
that if desired the vessel can be propelled by oars. According to my invention I
provide below the water line or beneath the deck or floor of the launch or vessel a
dynamo-electric machine which gives motion to a screw, or to paddles. The
electric driving mechanism is supplied with current from a secondary battery also
below the water line or beneath the deck or floor of the launch or vessel. The
driving mechanism and battery being below the water line act as ballast for the
launch or vessel and leave also space to accommodate a seat or seats for an oarsman
or for oarsmen and also to accommodate a mast or masts for a sail or for sails
and further leave sufficient space for the oarsmen or for the manipulation of the
sails.
In the accompanying drawing I have shewn in longitudinal vertical section a
combined sailing and electric launch or vessel constructed in accordance with my
invention.
A is the hull of the launch or vessel and a is the boarding forming a deck or
floor beneath which is situated the dynamo-electric machine E receiving electric
current from the secondary battery e² and driving a screw propeller e. B is the
centre board and is its housing-d2 is a socket for the reception of a mast D for
carrying a sail or sails (d)-C is a seat for an oarsman or for oarsmen and c shews
a rowlock in position.
It is to be understood that there may be one mast or several masts and that
they may be secured in any suitable way, and, of course, the seats for oarsmen
and the rowlocks may be in number and situation in accordance with convenience.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is.
A combined electric launch and sailing vessel substantially as hereinbefore
described.

Improvements in Cord Fasteners.
I, JAMES ROBERTSHAW, of Churnett Street, Rochdale Road, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Window Blind Manufacturer and Machinist, 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:-
It relates more particularly to fasteners used for window blind cords, but is also
useful in larger sizes for securing clothes lines and any description of cords or
ropes it is necessary to temporally secure.
It consists of a flat piece of metal of triangular form one angle of which is
formed with a plate, boss, or projection and the other two angles and their
connecting side are furnished with lugs or other suitable fittings for securing the
fastening in any required position.
The cord is wrapped round the triangular portion of the fastening the inclined
surfaces of which slide the cord under the plate or boss and jam it firmly against
it, any increase in pressure only serving to give it a firmer hold.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood I send herewith a sheet
of drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 a front view of my improved fastening.
a indicates the triangular piece of metal (in this case perforated for lightness.
and ornament), & the boss or plate, c and d the inclined surfaces which cause the
cord e, under strain, to slide under the plate or boss b jamming it firmly, (as
shown) against it, and flugs or projections to allow of its being secured in
position for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and the manner in which it is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
A cord fastener with two inclined surfaces whereby the cord is jammed under a
plate or boss, substantially as described hereinbefore and in the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Rims and Tyres for the Wheels of Velocipedes:
We WILLIAM SAMUEL and ARTHUR TWYFORD of 62, Montague Road,.
Sandringham Road, Dalston, London, N.E. Organ Builders, 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:-
Our invention relates to improvements in rims and tyres for the wheels of
velocipedes.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1. is a section of our improved wheel rim.
Fig. 2. illustrates the mode of fixing a pneumatic tyre to the said rim the tyre.
being securely fixed in position.
Fig. 3. is a similar view showing the method of loosening or detaching the
pneumatic tyre.
Instead of clinching the outer covering or canvass of the pneumatic tyre under
the rim as hitherto practised we fix along the edges of such outer covering wires,
ropes or rods c of any suitable metal or material. To fix the tyre in position,
before the inner pneumatic tube is inflated we introduce the said wires, or ropes in
one of the curved ends of the recesses a Fig. 1 in the manner shown in Fig. 3, we
then insert as shown in the latter figure between this wire, rod or rope e and the
opening of the recess another similar wire, rod or rope b which will act as a wedge
and is located in the other or opposite curved end of the recess a. The inner
pneumatic tube (not shown, in the drawings) being now inflated will fill out the
covering C which will cause the wires, rods or ropes e fixed at the ends thereof to
have a tendency to move out of the recesses (Fig. 2). When however they will be-
stopped as shown in the same figure by the wires, rods or ropes against which
the former wires, rods or ropes c will be locked thus firmly securing the tyre in
position.
Should a puncture take place, the inner pneumatic tube would be first deflated,.
when the covering will be readily detached by a reverse manipulation to the former,
the wires, rods or ropes 6 being first withdrawn as shown in Fig. 3.
b
After solutionizing the puncture the tyre could be rapidly fixed again to the
wheel rim in the manner first described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed what we claim is.
The improved form of rim for the wheels of velocipedes and other vehicles.
designed for the purpose of tightly securing therein the edges of the outer covering.
or canvass of pneumatic tyres in the manner herein described and shown.

An Improved Manufacture of Mouth Shields for Cigars and the like.
I, JOHN DAW, of No. 3 Aldermanbury Buildings, Aldermanbury, in the City of
London, Manufacturers' Agent, 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:-
In the Specification of my Patent No. 18608 of 1890 I described the manufacture
of mouth shields for cigars and the like from paper pulp which was subsequently
parchmentised; and in the Specification of Cross Bevan and Beadle's Patent
No. 8700 of 1892 is described a process for dissolving cellulose and reconverting
the product into cellulose in different condition.
My present invention relates to an improvement in the manufacture of mouth
shields by making them of prepared cellulose such as is described in the Specification
of the Patent No. 8700 of 1892 above referred to, whereby an article is produced
more suitable for the intended purpose and in a much simpler manner.
For this purpose, I employ a core made of glass, zinc or other suitable material
of the required shape, for instance having the configuration of the conical end of a
cigar, and fix a number of these cores on a plate. I dip the cores into a bath of
the soluble derivative of cellulose prepared as described in the Specification
No. 8700 of 1892, and on removal allow the excess of solution to drain off. The
cores with a coating of the cellulose material are then exposed to a temperature
of 20 to 212° Fahr. in an oven, and when dried the bye products are removed by
washing and the regenerated cellulose is thus obtained in a solid condition in the
form of the cores employed. The shields are then readily detached from the cores,
again thoroughly washed and then bleached or coloured or otherwise treated as
desired. They are then applied to the conical ends of cigars preferably in a moist
condition so that, on drying, they shrink and adhere firmly to the cigar ends forming
smooth envelopes or shields.
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 -
:―
The manufacture of mouth shields for eigars and the like by dipping cores into a
bath of soluble derivative of cellulose and then converting into cellulose the coatings
thus formed on the cores, substantially as herein described.

Improvements in or applicable to Scissors.
I, SAMUEL Lauterjung of Solingen, Rhenish Prussia, Manufacturer of
Scissors do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following
statement and accompanying drawing :-
My said invention relates to improvements in scissors, according to which I
form one of the blades with its cutting edge curved from end to the other (as
shewn at bin Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing) while the other blade remains
straight. The result of such a combination is that as the blades approach in
the act of cutting the point of meeting of the two blades travels at a greater
rate along the edge of the curved blade than along that of the straight blade
the result being a drawing or sawing actlon.
In cross section 1 form the curved blade knife-shaped as shown at 6 Fig. 2
instead of with an obtuse cutting edge as shown in dotted lines at Fig. 2 as is
usually the case. This formation of the cutting edge in combination with the
sawing action produced by the longitudinal curvature hereinbefore described
greatly facilitates the cutting action of the scissors and lessens the labour
especially in cutting thick cloth.
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 a pair of scissors the combination with a straight blade of a blade curved
longitudinally on its cutting edge and ground to a knife shape in cross section
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Corsets.
I, FRAU MINNA MEYER, of 12 Dobbenstrasse, in Oldenburg 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 :—
My invention relates to improvements in corsets, and has for object the prevention
of breakage of the bones or ribs thereof.
The accompanying drawing represents a general view of the corset from the inner
side. A and B, are the two halves of the corset which are drawn together at the
back in the usual manner by the lace C, passing through eyelets provided for the
purpose. In front the two halves are fastened by means of the ordinary stay-
fasteners. F and G represent the two halves of a belt-shaped foundation forming a
lining to the corset and sewn on, or attached in some other convenient manner,
at D and E respectively to the two halves of the corset. These two parts, F and G,
of the foundation, are arranged so as to be drawn together in front by a lace.
Both the foundation and the corset are provided with whalebone or other suitable
material for giving them requisite strength and rigidity. The foundation is some-
what shorter than the corset itself, and extends to only half the width of the
latter.
In fitting on my improved corset for wear, the back part is first put on, then the
two halves of the foundation are laced together in front; the corset proper is
secured in front by means of the stay-fasteners, and finally adjusted by the lace at
the back. By this arrangement the bones or ribs of the corset are protected by the
foundation from breaking, being supported and strengthened by it at the place
where the greatest pressure occurs.
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 corsets the use of an inner foundation consisting of two encased whalebone
belts or bands having their inner ends secured to the corset, and their outer ends
provided with eyelets or other suitable device for the purpose of fastening the same
round the body of the wearer, substantially as described and illustrated on the
accompanying sheet of drawings.

Improvements in Horse-shoe Cogs.
I, WILLIAM HENRY SANDS of 7 Warwick Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland
in the County of Durham, Shoeing Smith 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 improvements in horse-shoe cogs.
The improvements consist in the shape or formation of the cog and in the
means or device employed for securing it within the shoe.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which
Figure 1 shows & sectional elevation and Figure 2 a plan of an horse shoe fitted
with frost or other cogs according to my invention and in the following description.
like marks of reference designate like parts.
Referring to the drawings, a is a horse shoe and c are cogs shown fitted into
it. The shanks e¹ of the cogs are shown formed of a triangular shape to fit into
triangular holes in the shoe and at one side of the cog I form a projecting lug c³..
This lug has a certain amount of resilience in it and when tho triangular shank is
driven into its hole in the shoe, the lug is hammered over so as to lio against a
bevelled or other prepared edge formed for the purpose on the shoe and in this.
manner the cog is provented from working out of its bole when in uso.
Further, while the triangular form of the shank enables the cog to be put into
its hole in varying positions whereby the wearing edge of the cog can be altered
in position relatively to the shoe, the lug aforesaid tends to prevent the cog
working loose or becoming lost.
To remove a cog, the lug can be sprung back and the cog can be then removed
in the usual way.
The cogs can be formed of any suitable material, such as mild steel and they
may be stamped out or forged in manufacture, as required.
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 horse-shoe cog consisting in the combination with the cog of a
lug formed and adapted to operate substantially as and for the purposes
herein set forth.
2. The improved horse-shoe cog in which a lug o' and a triangularly arranged
shank are arranged and adapted for use substantially as herein set forth.

consists, essentially, in a mixture of vinegar. lime water, salt, alum, white vitriol,
linseed or other drying oils, crude petroleum and fat or unctuous clay in the
proportions hereinafter fully described.
In order to produce my fireproof paint, or composition, proceed as follows:-
Mix the vinegar and lime water in equal parts, and in order that these two
elements may be thoroughly combined keep the solution in a warm place for
three days or longer and stir it frequently. Then add to one gallon of the said
mixture one half pound of salt, one quarter pound of alum, and one quarter pound
of white vitriol, each in the form of a powder. The above solution is then heated
to its boiling point. Stir it continuously until the salt, aluin and white vitriol are
dissolved. Then add to one gallon of the above compound one gallon of linseed oil,
or other drying oil, and again heat it to its boiling point and stir and agitate it
while heating. Then add to two parts of this compound one part of crude
petroleum, and again heat it to its boiling point and thoroughly stir while
heating. Then mix with this compound a sufficient quantity of dry ground soft
unctuous clay, containing from twenty five to eighty per cent, of silicate of alumina
to bring the compound to the consistency of molasses at a temperature of
70° Fahrenheit. The shades of colour are varied by any well known pigments
in general ure for painting purposes. For light colour the petroleum is omitted.
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 herein before described composition of matter, forming a fireproof paint
or composition consisting of a mixture of vinegar, lime water, salt, alum, white
vitriol, linseed or other drying oil, petroleum, and dry, ground, soft, unctuous clay
containing from twenty five to eighty per cent, of silicate of alumina mixed
substantially in the proportions and manner set forth.
2. The hereinbefore described composition of matter, forming a fireproof paint
or composition consisting of a mixture of vinegar, lime water, salt, alum, white
vitriol, linsced or other drying oil, and dry ground soft unctuous clay containing
from twenty five to eighty per cent. of silicate of alumina mixed substantially in
the proportions and manner set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Buckle for use in Web and other Harness.
I, JOHN DAY of 103 Patrick Street in the City of Cork, Ireland, Saddler, and
Harness 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 :—
The invention has for its object an improved buckle for web, and other harness.
It will be easily understood on reference to the accompanying drawings, in
which:
Figure 1 is a front view of the buckle
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
The characteristic feature of the buckle is its simplicity of construction, and the
security with which the straps are held by the tongue or pin.
The frame of the buckle may be made of any suitable metal or material, and of
any convenient shape, but the preferable shape is that delineated in the accom-
panying drawing Fig. 1. Two of the sides of the frame are slightly concave as
shown at A A in said figure. To the back of the frame two cross-pieces, chapes,
or bridges B B Figs. 1 & 2 are welded or attached. One of these cross-pieces,
chapes, or bridges is formed with a tongue or pin C Figs. 1 & 2 projecting at
right angles from it. This tongue or pin passes through a suitable eyelet in the
straps of the harness. The straps are passed under the top and bottom sides of
the frame, which sides have the effect of runners, and by these means the straps
are held securely by and within the buckle.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
1. In a buckle for web and other harness, a frame constructed, as herein specified,.
the two cross-pieces, chapes, or bridges, and the tongue or pin projecting at right
angles from one of said cross-pieces, chapes, or bridges, all substantially as and for
the purposes herein mentioned.

Improvements in Means for Fastening Window-sashes, for Preventing
them from Rattling and for Excluding Draught.
We, ALBERT JOSEPH CLARK, Ironmonger and China and Glass Merchant of
18 and 24 Stamford Hill, N. and HENRY GEORGE CLARK, by profession, School-
master, also Ironmonger and China and Glass Merchant of 18 and 24 Stamford
Hill N. (private address, 20 Darnley Road Hackney N.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 :-
The apparatus consists of 4 separate parts as shewn in Figs. 1, 2, 3, & 4.
The
first part (Fig. 1.) is a metal case, made to fix on to frame of window, by side
plate A. (Fig. 1.) and containing a strong spring B (Fig. 1.) rivetted to back of
case at C (Fig. 1.) so as, when the case is fixed to side frame of window, the
spring C faces towards the window-sash. The second part (Fig. 2.) is a wedge D
(Fig. 2) for fixing on top corner of lower window sash. This wedge D (Fig. 2.) is
larger than the case (Fig. 1.) by the square part at top, which is drilled to pass
thumb-screw E (Fig. 2.). The third part Fig. 3 is the thumb-screw already
indicated at E (Fig. 2). This thumbscrew has a small piece of chain and a screw
eye attached to it, so that it can be suspended from window frame to pevent being
mislaid. The fourth part is merely a thin metal plate (Fig. 4.) for fixing on inside
face of lower part of top sash, which plate is tapped to pass thumbscrew E (Fig. 2).
These several parts are so fixed that when the window is closed the wedge D.
(Fig. 2.) presses upon the spring B (Fig. 1.) and thus the two sashes are driven
together and outward so firmly as to completely stop rattling and exclude
draught.
The thumbscrew E (Fig. 2) (also Fig. 3.) can then be screwed up, fastening the
window securely so that it cannot by any means be opened from outside.
Having thus 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 combination of window silencer and thumb-screw sash-fastener is novel.
2. The wedge and the spring are distinctly novel.

Sons, Lion Works Eyre
Street Sheffield and ROGER FARMER, Mechanic of 16 School Croft Sheffield 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
JOSIAH WILSON of the Firm of Walter Wilson
statement:
Our invention relates to pocket knives, more particularly that class of knife
known as sailor's sheath knives; and has for its object, the construction of a knife,
that will slide within a sheath and lock therein when not intended for use; and
which may be readily withdrawn and locked in position for use.
We will now proceed to describe our improved knife with reference to the sheet
of drawings hereto annexed, in which corresponding letters denote corresponding
parts in all the figures.
Fig. I an elevation.
Fig. I view shewing blade locked in position for use.
Fig. III view shewing blade within the sheath but not locked.
Fig. IV view with blade locked in sheath.
The blade A, slides within sheath B; catches C and C¹ on levers D and D'
engage with slot E and lock said blade securely in its forward or rearward positions
as shewn in Fig. II and IV.
To withdraw the blade from the sheath, lever D' is pressed downward upon flat
spring F, thereby lifting catch C₁ free from slot E; a spring G, which impinges
against blade A and swivel H, now moves the released blade forward until the tip
projects sufficiently from the sheath B for seizure and withdrawal, whereupon
catch C falls into slot E and thus locks said blade (see Fig. 11).
To return said blade to its locked rearward position lever D is depressed against
spring G lifting catch C free from slot E, said blade is now pushed back by its
tip, into the sheath until slot E engages catch C'.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The combination in a pocket knife of a sliding blade A, with a sheath B, said
sheath having levers D and D' with catches C and C'; said levers being actuated
by spring F and blade A being moved forward by spring G and swivel H
substantially as hercin specified.

Improvements in Devices for Hanging Up Articles of Clothing.
I, Dr. ADOLF KNÖTGEN, of Böhmisch-Leipa, Bohemia, in the Empire of
Austro-Hungary, 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 subject of the present invention is a device for hanging up clothes, namely
entire men's suits or women's costumes, which device may be placed in a wardrobe
or the like along with the clothes suspended thereon.
Figure 1 is a front view of the device; Figure 2 illustrates the manner in which
the device is to be used when a whole suit or costume is hung thereon, and Figure 3
shows the manner in which the trousers are suspended.
The principal advantage of this device lies in the circumstance that as the clothes
suspended thereon hang vertically they cannot be crushed or crumpled, and any
creases that may have been formed during the time they were in use will be
smoothed out.
The device consists in an arc-shaped bar B which is suspended by means of the
hook H. Two rings or eyes a are screwed into the bar B and are provided with
links carrying each a clip A. This clip is coiled at the top so as to form a spring
for imparting to the arms m m a constant tendency to spring apart.
By pushing up a slide d the inwardly bent curved ends ee of the arms m m are
pressed against each other (Figure 1A) so that the article of clothing placed
between the ends e is tightly gripped by the said arms.
A suit or costume is hung up in the following manner :-
The two legs of the trousers are firstly placed together in the manner shown
in Figure 3 and the lower ends thereof inserted between the ends e of the clips ;
the slides d are then pushed up and the trousers thereby tightly gripped.
The waistcoat is then slipped over the bar B and the coat R placed on top of it
in the same manner (Figure 2) the whole being then hung up in a wardrobe.
When the clothes to be suspended are women's the skirt is gripped by the clip
and the bodice is slipped over the bar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A device for hanging up articles of clothing consisting in the combination with
an arc-shaped bar B for carrying the waistcoat coat or bodice of a pair of spring-
clips A between the ends e of which the two legs of the trousers or a bodice are
inserted and tightly gripped by pushing up a slide d substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
