Improvements in and relating to Muzzles for Dogs and other
Animals.
I, JOHN EDWARD WALSH of Woodlands, Lightcliffe, near Halifax in the
County of York, Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct wire muzzles for dogs and other
animals, so that the soldered or other joints of the muzzle do not rub chafe, or form
a sore place upon the head of the animal wearing same, as is now the case with the
ordinary muzzle, also I further construct the muzzle so that the animal can open
its mouth at will, but still is unable to bite.
I construct my improved muzzle preferably of tinned steel wire for lightness and
strength, with the cage part preferably egg shaped in section, just clearing the
animals jaws on each side, but deeper underneath, so allowing sufficient room for
the animal to open its mouth, also upon the top of the cage and preferably at the
top joint of the first ring I form or attach a suitable indiarubber or elastic
cushion, or pad, secured in any suitable manner, this elastic pad bears upon the
bridge of the dog's nose, raising the muzzle off the same, and so preventing the
soldered joints of the cage from rubbing or chafing the hair off the top of the upper
jaw, and forming a sore place.
Dated this Twenty-fourth day of July 1895.

Small Arms.
I THOMAS MUSGROVE TRANTER of 115 Bevington Road Aston in the County
of Warwick Gun 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 improvements in the cocking mechanism of guns, rifles,
and other smail arms that turn upon a hinge for opening or closing the breech
end of the barrels.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my invention is constructed and used.
Figure 1 represents a side view of a rifle with the fore-part B removed.
Figure 2. represents a side view of the rifle with the fore-part B attached, the
cocking rod A having been forced under the tail of the hammer by the
fore-part B and ready for lifting the hammer to full cock by tilting the barrel.
Figure 3 represents a similar view but with the barrel partly opened and
shows the end of the cocking rod A acting upon the hammer & raising it to
full cock.
In carrying out my invention I make a slot through the hind lump of the barrel
and drill a round hole through the forward lump, close to the barrel, in which
I fit the cocking rod A.
When the cocking rod A is in its forward position the end projects a little
through the round hole in the lump, and the fore-part B when placed in position
presses against the projecting end of the cocking rod A. and forces it in a rearward
direction, causing it to engage with the tail of the hammer and by tilting the barrel
raises the hammer to full cock.
I provide a spring C to force the rod A. forward after the fore-part B has been
removed, to allow of the barrel being taken apart from the action without engaging
with the hammer.
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
Making a slot through the hind lump of a gun barrel and fitting therein a sliding
piece, substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and
shown in the annexed drawings.

Improvements in Bits for Animals.
We, RICHARD SOMMER, Proprietor of the Manor in Sommerswalde near Berlin
and EMIL POLZIN Director of 6 Plan- Ufer, Berlin, 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 curb hits as shown in the drawing (Figures 1 to 3) consists of steel, and is
intended in case of a horse taking the bit between its teeth, or bolting to produce
an effect on the roof of the horses mouth as also on his jaws which will enable the
rider or driver in any case to retain his control over the horse.
This is effected in the curb bits by means of a second bit a, which is moveable in
the slot b, and does not trouble the horse when it is quiet. This second bit a, is
attached to the moveable bit c, by means of bars (in this case three) to prevent the
horse from slipping its tongue over the bit a.
When a horse bolts with an ordinary curb in its mouth, it raises its head up high
and endeavours to get the bit between its molar teeth and when this succeeds it
bites hard on the bit thus making the pulling of the reins useless which is
augmented by the fact that the high position of the horses head places the reins in
a line with the side bars of the curb.
A different state of things is brought about by the present arrangement: Firstly
the side bars g of the new curb are always at an angle to the head of the horse
when raised up high, because they can slide in the slots b, secondly when the horse
takes the bit c, between its teeth and bolts and the reins are pulled, then the side
bars of the curb engage the bit a, at the point e, and as the bars can turn on the
bit C, which is gripped by the horse, the bit a, is pressed by the leverage thus
created with irresistible force against the roof of the horses mouth and against its
jaws, thus compelling it to give in and lower its head..
The curb chain does not interfere with the lever action of the bars as it can slide
in the cheek rings h, and thus give sufficient freedom to the other end of the curb
bars. The ring f serves for attaching the bridoon or cheek-rein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we claim :
In curb bits the addition of a second bit which is connected to the pivoted bit by
bars and can slide in the cheek slots of the curb bars and remedies the ineffective
pulling of the reins with ordinary curbs when the horse takes the bit between its
teeth and bolts, by the fact that the end of the cheek slots on the curb bars press
the said second bit with the power of a lever against the roof of the horses mouth
and against its jaws as herein fully described and duly set forth.

A New or Improved Braid and Trimming.
I, HENRY DAVENIORT of the Firm of Wardle & Davenport, of Leek, in the
County of Stafford, Silk Manufacturers, 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 flat braid or trimming which may
be employed for general purposes but which is especially intended for binding the
inside edges of the bottoms of ladies' skirts and for other analogous purposes.
One form of my new or improved braid or trimming is illustrated by the
accompanying drawing, which is prepared to a greatly enlarged scale for the sake
of greater clearness. It consists of the flat braid B, and a chenille edge C,
preferably produced in the following manner, simultaneously. In addition to the
ordinary bobbins in the braiding machine, for producing flat braid, I employ a set
of chenille bobbins, and arrange that as each braid bobbin arrives at the edge, it
passes around one of the chenille bobbins, so that each braid thread at the edge
of the braid passes over or around one of the chenille strands, and so firmly secures.
the flat braid and the chenille together as indicated by the drawing where b are the
braid threads, and c the chenille strands or threads.
It will be obvious that the chenille and braid threads may engage with each other
at intervals, instead of at every approach as illustrated by the drawing, and that
I may produce the chenille at each edge of the braid instead of at one edge only
as shewn by the drawing, in which case the product would be adapted for use as a
trimming in certain cases, and beads and other accessories might be used in
combination therewith.
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 hereinbefore described method of manufacture of braid with a chenille
edge or chenille edges, substantially as set forth.
2. A chenille edged braid or trimming manufactured or produced substantially
as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Ornaments for Personal Wear, or the like
Articles.
I, Dr. WALTER SIMON of 34, Tiergartenstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 :—
This invention relates to a novel article or ornament consisting in the use for
decorative purposes (more especially for personal adornment) of an eye plastically
moulded or formed in imitation of a human eye.
The novel effect to be produced by the present invention is based on the fact
or idea that when the eye or an eye is visible in an unusual or unaccustomed place
it exerts a peculiar fascination by which attention is irresistibly or involuntarily
drawn to the person wearing the ornament.
One arrangement of this improved mode of ornamentation is illustrated in
elevation in the accompanying drawing in its application to a brooch which by
reason of its peculiar form shows up in an especially striking manner the
characteristic feature of this invention.
The new brooch (or it may be a bracelet or other ornament or article) consists
of a triangle b in the centre of which the moulded or other imitation eye a is
inserted or set.
The triangle is surrounded on all sides by moulded or plastic rays or edging or
other suitable border c.
By proper selection of material and suitable combination of colours the aforesaid
effect can be considerably heightened.
The
Thus for instance a very pleasing effect is produced by making the eye of a blue
colour and making the triangle in relief of a white colour on a black ground.
border or edging c is advantageously of a very bright (gold) colour.
It will be well understood that the choice of the material of which the eye and
its border or setting are respectively made does not affect the nature of the
invention. Furthermore this article may be manufactured in any suitable
manner.
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 use and application of artificial moulded eyes in imitation of the human
or other eye for decorative purposes or as ornaments substantially as and for the
purposes described.
2. A brooch or bracelet in the form of a triangle with a moulded eye a in
imitation of the human eye set or inserted therein substantially as and for the
purposes herein before described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
3. The improved ornament or
article arranged constructed and acting
substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed.

Glasgow, Wine 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 its object a new method of keeping sound for a considerable
time various kinds of fruits and similar vegetable products such as for instance
passion fruit, oranges, melons, and applicable also for preserving fish, game and
the like.
In carrying out this invention the fruit to be treated, which must be sound, is after
plucking kept under shade in a cool dry place for one or two days to permit of a
preliminary drying of the outer skin.
Thereafter the fruit is placed in shallow open wire woven trays and then
completely immersed for one or two minutes in a bath of melted paraffin wax
preferably of high melting point; or alternatively the fruit may by means of a hot
blast of paraffin wax be sprayed till its surface is covered with the desired coating
of paraffin wax.
It is then taken out, allowed to cool, and packed, each fruit separate, either
in thin paper or in paper or straw-board trays with divisions to fit each fruit.
All is finally packed in cases and as thus treated may be kept for several months in
sound condition sufficient to permit of the treated fruit being shipped as ordinary
cargo for long distances.
Fish, game and the like in a fresh condition may receive a coating of the paraffin
wax in an analogous manner, and so be preserved during transit and before use.
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 use of molten paraffin wax as a means of preserving fruit, fish, game,
and the like, substantially as set forth.
(2.) The spraying of fruit, fish game and the like with a blast of molten paraffin
wax to preserve these, substantially as set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Artists' "Canvas."
I LIONEL CRESSWELL of Wood Hall Calverley, in the County of York, Barrister-
at-Law of the Middle Temple, 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 artists' canvas.
"
The principal object of my invention is to provide artists with a material or
canvas for painting upon, which shall be imperishable, and indestructible by
age, proof against the ravages of vermin, capable of withstanding extreme climatic
changes, and insusceptible to heat or damp; it being well-known that many old
and many valuable paintings have been lost by reason of the perishability of the
textile fabric on which they were executed, and exposure to one or other of the
foregoing conditions.
According to my invention I take a piece of fine but strongly woven asbestos
cloth of close and even texture, which I stretch and fasten on a bevelled and
wedged wooden frame or stretcher in the ordinary and usual way in which canvas
is stretched and fastened by tacks, and then I prepare the surface for painting by
sizing and priming also in the usual manner.
Short lengths of cloth of various widths may be sized and primed for artists
themselves to cut into suitable pieces and stretch as required, but it is preferable to
stretch the canvas before sizing and priming.
The material which I use is a very fine yet stout cloth approximating to
"ticken" canvas in appearance. The cloth is woven of fine hardspun even yarn
affording twenty four or more "picks" or threads of weft per inch, yarn giving
fewer picks per inch being too coarse for general use, and the yarn is spun from
the pure mineral long fibre, without any admixture of other fibre and with as
smooth and even a surface as possible.
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 :-
First. The combination with artists' stretching frames of fine asbestos cloth
prepared substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein before described.

I WILLIAM TEGGIN of Dickinson Street, Salford, in the County of Lancaster,
Box Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
My said invention relates to an improved process for the manufacture of paper
bags proof against grease and moisture.
According to my said invention I take plain paper and coat one surface there of
with such waterproof material as after drying will soften and become adhesive
under the action of beat.
A suitable material is I find pitch made from cotton seed oil.
The said material is applied by a spreading machine such as is commonly used
in the manufacture of coated papers as will be well understood and allowed to
become perfectly dry. I then take a sheet of such paper and superposing the dry
coated surface thereof on a sheet of plain paper I pass the two sheets together
through a pair of pressure rollers one or both of which are heated in any of the
usual well known ways.
To form thicker papers two or more sheets of dry coated paper are superposed
and passed together through the rollers.
The heat from one or both of the rollers causes the waterproof material to soften
and become adhesive and while in that state the pressure forces the material into
the pores of the paper and causes the sheets to adhere to each other.
In some cases for greater strength I apply to the face or in the interior of the
paper or board one or more layers of a textile fabric such as open woven canvas.
1 varnish or coat one or both sides of paper made in the before mentioned
manner with wax, celluloid, cellulose or other varnish having the property of being
impervious to moisture or grease.
Such coating may be applied by rubbing, painting, spreading or floating as will
be well understood.
I then make the paper so produced into bags. or satchels of shapes varying
according to the particular purpose for which they are to be used.
When paper varnished on one side only is used the bag is so folded that the
varnished side forms the interior of the bag."
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 bag made from paper produced by the superposition and subjection to
combined heat and pressure of layers of dry pitch paper and varnished on the side
which forms the interior of the bag.

Improvements in and relating to Architects' Set Squares.
I, FRANCIS RICHARD LAWSON of 142 Raglan Street Fenton in the County
of Stafford Architect and Surveyor 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 takes the form of an architects set square of wood metal gelatine-
composition or other suitable material, triangular in shape the flat surface of which.
is perforated so as to admit the pencil or ruling pen. These perforations or slots.
are cut through and bevelled extending nearly the whole length of the square
and are drawn at useful angles namely 51 deg. 45 deg. and pitch and the like
or such perforations may take ornamental shapes (as shewn in Figure Two of the
plans attached hereto) thus enabling the pencil or pen to reach the surface of
the paper or plan. The necessity of constantly changing squares is thus avoided.
My invention will be better understood by reference to the annexed drawings..
Figure 1 shews the set square perforated at two of the before mentioned angles
45 and pitch which are bevelled on the outer edges as shewn A, and on the
inner edges as shewn B. The outside edges C are bevelled upon one side.
In Fig 21 shew a set square of similar shape bevelled on the outside only E. but
perforated in ornamental design as aforesaid."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-.-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The construction of a set square perforated and bevelled at any of the angles-
as before mentioned as shewn in Fig 1.
2. The construction of a set square perforated with suitable ornamental curves D-

EDWARD NICHOLSON BESZANT Master Plumber and Decorator 91 Belgrave
Road St. Michaels Liverpool 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 :-
A kitchen or domestic water boiler constructed according to this invention
consists of a naked water-filled pipe or conduit in the form of coils, disposed in
direct contact with the fire.
In the drawing hereto annexed
Figure 1 is a side view of a fire-grate shewing my improved boiler in position,
Figure 2 being a front view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan of the boiler."
a is the water-filled pipe or conduit forming the boiler. A is the cold water
supply, and B is the hot water outlet, both of which communicate with the cylinder
as ordinarily employed in connection with domestic hot-water systems. D is the
fire-grate and C is a flue at the rear of the boiler, into which leads the flue C¹
which passes underneath the boiler.
The coils a are preferably disposed about one half inch apart, and vary in number
according to the supply of hot-water required. They may be formed of copper
or iron.
The flame and heat of the fire are drawn between the coils a to the flue C, and
are thus in direct contact with the boiler.
Inasmuch that the water is heated in a pipe or conduit there does not exist the
liability of a violent explosion as exists with boilers wherein the water is heated
in one mass, and as a greater area of heating surface is provided, less fuel is
required.
The coils a need not necessarily be disposed at the rear of the fire, but may in
some cases partially or wholly surround the fire.
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 employment of a naked water-filled pipe or conduit in the form of coils,
as a kitchen or domestic water boiler, arranged and disposed substantially in the
manner above set forth.

A New or Improved Antiseptic and Preservative Preparation.
I, ALBIN LENHARDTSON, of 14 Biblioteksgatan, Stockholm, in the Kingdom of
Sweden, Dentist, 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 an antiseptic and preservative preparation, which, while
containing nothing noxious to the human system, destroys micro-organisms that are
sometimes formed in various parts of the human body and which if left undisturbed
fructify and become injurious to health.
The said preparation is applicable to a variety of uses but it is more especially
useful as a rinsing-water for the mouth or otherwise for the purpose of destroying
the micro-organisms existing in dental cavities.
The principal component of my said preparation consists of a distillate from
turpentine known as terpineol which occurs in the form of a more or less viscid fluid.
This fluid with the addition of water forms an emulsion and may for my said
purposes be thinned by a dissolving agent such as alcohol.
For a dental rinsing-wash or like purpose a diluted solution of terpineol might
by itself be used but in order to dissolve or loosen the coverings formed by the
influence of the micro-organisms, so that the antiseptic and sterilizing means may
reach beneath the same, soap may be added. For other purposes glycerine and
aromatic substances or other substances which usually enter antiseptic preparations
may be added.
The proportions between the ingredients may vary greatly according to the
purposes for which the preparation is designed. Within the following limits many
useful preparations may be obtained.

Improvement in Blasting Compositions.

Improvement in Blasting Compositions.
I, HANS RITTER VON DAHMEN, Chemist, of Castrop, Westphalia, in the
German Empire, 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 :-
Among modern explosives, those which contain ammonium nitrate have found
considerable favour, because in comparison with ordinary blasting powder, they
are less likely to cause explosions of fire-damp or coal dust, when used in "fiery
coal mines. However, in the case of ammonium nitrate compositions actually
employed, the security is so limited, that fire-damp and coal dust explosions
may still occur. Such colliery accidents may be caused by the generation of
heat through the explosion of the blasting compositions, and the smaller the
quantity of heat thus produced, the greater is the security of the blasting
composition.
The object of the present invention is, to provide a blasting composition, which
during its deflagration produces an explosion temperature as low as possible.
It is a well-known fact, that the oxides and oxy-salts of metals, or most of them,
absorb (during their decomposition) large quantities of heat and abstract this heat
from their inmediate surrounding. This fact I have utilised for producing a new
blasting composition, which during its explosive transformation liberates so little
heat, that in all cases occurring in practice, it may be considered as affording absolute
safety from explosions of fire-damp or coal-dust.
The most suitable material I have found for this purpose, is potassium pyro-
chromate, when used in combination with ammonium nitrate and hydrocarbon,
although other pyrochromates and chromates may also be employed.
A good composition is produced, for instance, by mixing 91 parts of ammonium
nitrate with 7 parts of naphthalene and two parts of potassium pyrochromate, or by
mixing 92 parts of ammonium nitrate with 5.5 parts of phenanthrene and 2.5 parts
of potassium pyrochromate.
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 ;-
Blasting compositions containing pyrochromates or chromates in combination with
ammonium nitrate, substantially as described.
