Improvements in and relating to Bicycle Saddles.
I, LOUIS LAWTON RICHMOND, a citizen of the United States of America,
residing at Mead ville, in the County of Crawford and State of Pennsylvania, one
of the United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The special object of the invention is to cushion the saddle of a bicycle only
where the end of the spine and the surrounding parts rest and to avoid the heat
occasioned by extending a cushion between the legs; also to form an elastic
bumper to take the shock of the advancing wheels; also to form a rear brace for
the push of the feet against the pedals.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my bicycle saddle turned
bottom upward ;
Figure 2 a median longitudinal vertical section thereof;
Figure 3 a detail perspective view of the cushion, and
Figure 4 a similar view of the concave plate.
In the drawings, A represents an ordinary leather seat-cloth which is perforated
to permit a free circulation of air, is of any preferred size, and has the usual
metallic hook B in front. This hook catches in the loop e on the front end of a stiff
longitudinal spring C, which extends under the saddle from front to rear. This
spring C may be held adjustable on the seat-supporting rod of a bicycle in the usual
or any preferred way.
D, represents the air-cushion which may be made of rubber incased in other
material, or of any air-tight substance. It is made, as shown, nearly in the shape
of a semi-circle, or may approximate the form of a horse-shoe.
E is a metallic plate concaved so as to receive the air cushion when it has been
thoroughly inflated. The rear of the leather seat is drawn over the convexed
portion of the plate E and held firmly thereto by flat headed rivets F, as is also the
keeper G in which is adjustably held the rear end of the stiff spring C, to render
the leather more or less taut.
H is a rubber tube communicating with the inside of the air-bag and passing
through the plate E so that the bag may be blown up by an air-pump.
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 leather seat with hook in front, the concave plate riveted to the rear of said
seat, the cushion arranged between the plate and rear of seat, the keeper riveted
to the cancave plate, and a subjacent plate spring having a loop in front to
connect with the book of the leather seat, the rear of said spring being held

Improvements in Cork Extractors..
I, JOHN ASPINALL Market Hill, Barnsley, Yorkshire Brush 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 the construction of an improved cork extractor
intended to withdraw corks from ordinary plain necked bottles, and from bottles
having a screw thread or threads, or portions of screw threads, formed in the
neck or mouth thereof, and therefore requiring a twisting action to withdraw the
said cork.
The improved extractor is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings.
It consists of a handle H, of any suitable configuration, such as that shown in the
drawing, which is supposed to be of wood, but it may be cast in metal such as iron
r brass if preferred.
It is provided with two pins or prongs P, firmly fixed in the handle H, in the
position shown, and I use a collar C, either made separately, or formed upon the
handle, for the purpose of preventing too close contact between the cork and
the handle.
When the handle is made from wood or like material, I prefer to insert the
pins or prongs P, from the back, and to secure them by means of a plate or
strap S.
Also to strengthen the handle to resist the twisting strain to which it is subject,
I pass a number of pins, or screws, or rivets R, through the body of the
handle.
The handle may also be provided with a single prong P2, this is for use when
there is any difficulty in piercing the cork with the double prongs P, in which case
a single hole would be first made with P, and afterwards used for one of the
prongs P, leaving only one prong to be forced into the cork.
When the two prongs are forced down into the cork, it can be readily turned
round and withdrawn from the bottle.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A cork extractor as herein before described, having two prongs P, for insertion
in the cork, and with or without the prong P2 as berein before described and
substantially as shown.

wet, is subjected to a bath or washing of lime water or its equivalent. It is then
powdered (preferably on both sides) with dry French chalk or its equivalent, which,
when dry, is brushed off in any usual or suitable manner. The skin is afterwards
wiped over with a wet sponge and when dry is rubbed over with a piece of flannel
or other suitable means by which the appearance of writing vellum is obtained.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Knitted Bodices and other
Knitted Garments.
We, ROBERT KERSEL and WALTER MONTGOMERY, partners of the Firm of
Robert Kersel & Coy., Gladstone Street, Hawick in the County of Roxburgh,
North Britain, Hosiery Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates more particularly to the manufacture of knitted bodices for
ladies and consists in the shaping of the bodice by the conjunction of ribbed and
plain fabric running seamlessly together, the said ribbed fabric giving the necessary
width to the bust and other parts. The stitches used to form the ribs may be those
which are known as 1/1, 2/1, 2/2 and in some cases 3/1.
Hitherto the shaping has been effected by putting in more stitches at the sides of
the garment or say at the bust, necessitating a seam at the shaping.
The invention may be applied to all kinds of knitted hosiery garments where
shaping is required.

Combined Pencil Sharpener and Pencil Protector.
I, AUGUST FLEISCHMANN of Bockenheim near Frankfort on the Main, in the
German Empire, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention has for object to provide a pencil sharpener which may be
allowed to remain permanently on the pencil, the point of which it also serves to
protect.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 shews the pencil sharpener and protector fixed on a lead pencil.
Figs. 2, 3, 4 are respectively perspective views of the several parts.
a, b, are two halves, nearly semi cylindrical in shape of a metal casing internally
corresponding in shape to a well pointed pencil. One edge at the conical part of
each half of the casing is sharpened like a knife, so that the complete instrument
has two cutting edges. c is a ring which when slid over the two parts a, b, holds.
these together, the internal diameter of the ring as also that of the casing a, b,
being such that this latter may be clamped sufficiently tight upon the pencil to
keep it fixed thereon. In this way the instrument may be made to serve as a pencil
protector.
To use the instrument it is slid in the complete state on a pencil (Fig. 1) and
turned round with a slight pressure against the end of the same to cut it until
the point comes out between the points of parts a, b. In this position the instrument
may be allowed to remain when the pencil is being used to write with, the ring c
aud the two parts a, b, forming the casing being so formed as to present no-
impediment to the use of the pencil. When no longer required for use the pencil
may be drawn slightly back within the casing and held there by the spring pressure
of the parts. In this position the instrument serves as a pencil protector.
Having now particularly 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
--
A combined pencil sharpener and pencil protector consisting of two parts a, b,.
forming a cylindrical case with a conical or taper end, the taper end of each
part a, b, being provided with a cutting edge, and of a ring c to slide on the two
parts a, b, and hold these together on the pencil, substantially as described and
shewn.

Lasting Pincers.
Year: 1893

page_text: Date of Application, 12th Apr., 1893-Accepted, 13th May, 1893
Lasting Pincers.
1, GOTTLOB OTTO MÜLLER, of 5, Kleine Schweiz, Stuttgart, in the Empire of
Germany, Machine-tool 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 :-
This invention relates to lasting pincers by which the upper is drawn over the
last, in the manufacture of boots and shoes.
Lasting pincers constructed according to my invention when being manipulated
do not offer two handles to be grasped as in the pincers hitherto in use, but may be
operated by direct pressure upon the single handle with which they are provided,
and are also capable of being easily adjusted for all widths of lasts, by means of
an adjustable cramp.
Upon reference to the annexed drawings, it will be seen that the pincers according
to this invention are provided with a single handle a, arranged as a lever, one
extremity of which forming the lower jaw of the pincers, the cramp / being
adjustably connected to both upper and lower jaws.
The pin c serves as the fulcrum pin of the pincers and also as a guide to the
cramp h, a second guide pin being provided in the jaw d. To these pins is
rivetted the plate i, between which plate and the jaw d the cramp / is held, the
pins c and passing through the slot K of the cramp.
In order to adjust the cramp in drawing the upper leather over larger or
smaller lasts, the upper side of the slot K is provided with serrations g, into which
the pins c and fare pressed by pressure on the lever a.
In Figures 4, 5 and 6, a modified arrangement of the cramp is shewn. Instead
of being placed at the side of the upper jaw d of the pincers, it is arranged upon a
rack which is hinged to the pin of the pincers. The lower side m' of the aperture
in the head m of the cramp, is inclined, so that its back edge forms a pawl which,
when the cramp is placed against the last and pressure is exerted upon the lever a,
enters one of the serrations of the rack 1, and holds the cramp in the desired
position. The pin n prevents the cramp from escaping from the rack l.
In operation the upper leather is caught by the pincers and after the cramp has
been pressed against the last (see Figure 1) it is drawn up over the last by pressure
being exerted upon the lever-arm. By giving the nose of the pincers the shape
illustrated in Figure 1, the leather is caused to lie flat upon the last when being
drawn up, whereby the driving of the sprigs is made easier.
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 1
claim is :-
Single handled pincers for lasting the uppers of boots and shoes, provided with a
cramp capable of adjustment upon guide pins provided in the jaws of such pincers,
or upon a rack hinged to the fulcrum pin thereof, substantially as described.
