I THOMAS GEORGE LOMAS of Sunnyside Mills Lower Seddon Street, Salford
Manchester in the County of Lancaster Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF WOVEN
LOOPS LABELS AND BANDS WITH INTERWOVEN INSCRIPTION OR DEVICE 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 the manufacture of woven loops labels and bands with
interwoven inscription or device such as are attached to boots and clothing and
other articles the said loops labels and bands being commonly made with warps of
contrasting colours woven double twill or double satin.
My invention consists in weaving the threads of these warps in the manner or
arrangement hereinafter shewn whereby I obtain increased stoutness with decrease
of labour.
As the best way of setting forth the same I append copies of the drafts from
which my jacquard cards have been cut as will be well understood-See accoin-
panying drawing Figures 1 & 2.-On the margin of each draft the ground warp
threads are indicated by black lines those not marked being figure threads.
When the figure warp threads are raised to the face to form a spot or device all
the corresponding ground warp threads lie on the back.
The two drafts Fig. 1. & Fig. 2. are similar excepting that Fig. 1. shews a four
shaft twill face Fig. 2 a six shaft twill face the other threads in each case working
in accordance with the face. By a modification the threads which bind once in four
cards may be bound on the first or second or third or fourth card (Fig. 1.) and
those which bind once in six cards (Fig. 2) may be bound on any one of the six, a
slight variation of the appearance of face or back being the result. By a further
modification hereof the two sections into which this pattern divides the ground
warp in lieu of binding once and twice respectively in four picks as in Fig. 1. may
bind once and three times respectively in three picks, or three times and four times
respectively in twelve picks or in lieu of binding once and twice respectively in six
picks as in Fig. 2-may bind once and three times respectively in six picks or
twice and three times respectively in twelve picks and so on, in all these modifica-
tions the back warp must work to match the threads which form the face. I find

page_text: the arrangements as shewn in Figs. 1 & 2. preferable to these modifications. In
employing my invention I find it desirable that the ground warp shall exceed the
figure warp in bulk the number of hooks allotted to each being the same.
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―
I. The interweaving of the warps, substantially as berein described and set forth
in Figure 1. and any modification thereof.
II. The interweaving of the warps, substantially as hereinbefore described and
set forth in Figure 2. and any modification thereof.

I, ALFRED WILLIAM MAC-ILWAINE, of Kingston-upon-Hull, in the County of
York, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The extraction of oils by volatile solvents is usually carried out in iron vessels. In
the case of some oils, when in solution in the solvent, iron has a deleterious effect
upon their colour. This is especially so in the case of Rape-seed oil.
My invention consists in using, for the purpose of extracting oils by volatile
solvents, vessels constructed of or lined with lead or other suitable metal or alloy in
order to prevent the discolouring action before referred to. For my purpose, I prefer
iron vessels or tanks lined with sheet lead.
Instead of iron pipes as usually employed for evaporating the solvent, I employ
pipes composed of lead or other suitable metal or alloy. Or iron pipes coated with
tin or other suitable metal or alloy may be employed for the purpose..

We JOHN EDEY of 10 St. Swithins Lane in the city of London Chartered
Accountant and GEORGE WRIGHT of Cottenham Road Rotherham 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:-
d is the bolt.
The object of this invention is to fasten the rails securely in the chairs and to retain
them in the position they are placed without fear of their coming loose by the passing
of trains over the rails expansion etc.
We will now describe its action. a is a chair of the ordinary class into which the
rail is placed. ee are a pair of folding wedges shown in fig. 1. 2 and 3.
Each of these wedges has a flange at one side on the thick end which acts as a
safe guard and makes it impossible for them to get out of their places. These wedges
have two motions viz-one for holding the rail firmly between the two fixed jaws of
the chairs and the other pressing the rail down to the bottom of the chair. These
wedges are drawn together by means of an ordinary bolt of the standard thread which
tightens the rail as shown in fig. 2. The rail is held down by the wedges being cut
diagonal as shown in section fig. 3 the part next to the rail always pressing down-
wards whereas the opposite wedge cannot rise it being in a curved space.
rectangular bole shown between the wedges in fig. 2 is to enable the wedges to be
taken out of the chair, by driving a drift between them. The bolt d has a hole made
in the screwed end a short distance up the centre and after the rail has been screwed
The

page_text: up tight a taper punch is driven in the hole which swells the bolt end and prevents the
nut from coming loose.
These wedges are applicable to all new chairs and rails and the shape may be varied
to suit the section of all existing chairs and rails also the angle of the wedges may be
altered to suit requirements.
These wedges may be also used for other purposes where machinery metal work or
other articles are required to be securely fastened together.
Also the nut at the end of the bolt may be substituted by a key or cotter or both,
without departing from the principles of this specification But the bolt is preferred
as shown and described for simplicity and safety.
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
The folding diagonal wedges as shown in drawing and described in specification
Also the bolt with a hole up the centre of the end with or without nut key or cotter
respectively as described.

We GEORGE THOMPSON PEATE and ROWLAND NOTON PARKINSON of 63 Faulkner
Street, Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, that
is to say
Our said Invention relates more particularly to the uppers of boots and shoes
and is applicable principally to the boots and shoes used in out door games and
in athletic exercises-although the improvements also apply to boots shoes and
slippers for ordinary wear. In cases where lining is made use of to line the uppers
in the manufacture of boots shoes and slippers the shaping, cutting, fitting and
securing of the lining entails considerable expense of time and trouble and adds
very materially to the cost of the finished goods. According to our invention we
treat the uppers in such a manner that we are enabled to dispense with the said
lining, while at the same time we retain all of the advantages of appearance and
utility resulting from its use at a considerably reduced cost of production. This
result is obtained by forming or raising a pile or nap on the inner surface of the
material of the upper itself. The uppers may be composed of any suitable or
known woven fabric or other material capable of having a suitable pile, nap
or "fluff" formed on its surface by the operations of carding, cutting, raising
or "teazing" as is well understood. For example such a material might consist of a
stout woven fabric, dyed, printed, embossed, waterproofed or otherwise treated
for ornamental or other effect on the outside and cut, carded, or raised on the inside
so that when the shoes are made up they present an appearance similar to that of
goods the uppers of which have been lined with separate lining. We do not how-
ever confine ourselves to woven fabrics in producing the said uppers as felted or
other material capable of receiving the requisite nap or pile would answer equally
well for the purposes of our invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
"
In the manufacture of the uppers of lawn tennis cricket gymnastic and other
boots shoes and slippers forming a nap pile or "fluff" upon the inner surface of
the material composing the upper for the purposes and substantially as herein-
before described.

flap z, said last-named perforations registering with the perforations i, g, when the
envelope is closed or sealed. Instead of using the perforations as described, the
envelope may be indented or creased to enable the flaps to be readily torn off.
In folding the letter sheet for insertion in the body of the envelope, a fold is
made on the line 7, midway between the perforations m and g, or so that when the
sheet is inserted the four rows or series of perforations g, m, i, b will be on the
same plane or exactly opposite each other.
The flap fin closing the envelope, is folded on the line y, and each of the flaps f, z
is provided with a coating of adhesive mucilage or cement a on its inner face; but
the cement on the flap fmay be omitted. In sealing the envelope the flap fis
cemented to that portion of the letter sheet which lies between the perforations m
and folding line l, and is also folded down over the back of the letter sheet; that
portion of the flap f which lies between the perforations b and folding line y, and
also the auxiliary flaps 2, being cemented to the back of the envelope.
In opening the envelope the flaps are torn off on the line of the perforations
i, b, g, the letter sheet being also torn off at the same time on the line of per-
forations m, thereby opening the envelope and detaching the sheet therefrom at
one operation.
In Figure 4 the upper corners of the envelope are represented as square or
angular, and in Figure 1 as rounded, either form being employed as desired.
The flaps x may be formed integral with the front B, if preferred, and cemented
to the back A instead of being formed integral with the back A and cemented to
the front B as shown; said flaps may also be cemented to the outer side of the
front or back, instead of the inner side, as the case may be, if desired.
As the envelope unprovided with the letter sheet forms the subject matter
of another application bearing the same date as the present I do not herein claim
the same broadly.
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 an envelope having a letter sheet integral with the body thereof, the
parts A, B; the sheet C, provided with the perforations m; the flap d provided
with the perforations g; and the flapf provided with the auxiliary flap z and the
perforations b, i, all substantially as described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES
Year: 1886

page_text: HUGH DE BERDT HOVELL Lieutenant 2nd Worcestershire Regiment, of Boreham
Holt Elstree Hertfordshire, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN TOBACCO PIPES to be as follows: -
My invention has for its object the 'construction of tobacco pipes in such a
manner as to facilitate their manufacture, to render them more generally convenient
for use, to facilitate the cleaning of such pipes, and of such a nature as to převent
the nicotine from entering the mouth of the smoker.
For the purposes of my invention the pipe is so constructed that when it is held
in any horizontal position part of the orifice of the bowl is above, and part of the
orifice of the bowl is below the bore of the stem of the pipe, and is, or may be, or
may not be of such a form that a straight line can be drawn from one end of the
pipe to the other passing through the bore of the stem and bowl of the pipe.
And such pipes may be made of any material' now used, or suitable, for the
manufacture of tobacco pipes.
The bowl of such pipes may have, or may not have, near or at the orifice a "lip"
or projecting rim, or depression, extending wholly or partially round the interior of
the bowl, to assist the retention of the ashes, or of the burning tobacco itself in
the pipe.
And the bore of the stem of such pipes may be either straight, curved, or in any
other form and the bowl may be circular, tapering, or of any other form.
I wish it to be understood that I claim and desire to secure by patent, the
construction of tobacco pipes in which the orifice of the bowl and outlet of the
mouthpiece are in exactly opposite directions, and I also claim the application to
my invention of all inventions for, or applicable to, the improvement of tobacco
pipes previously or hereafter to be patented.

page_text: 2. The improved arrangement and construction of tobacco pipes in which the
centre line of the bowl is in an exact straight line with that of the centre of the
bore of the stem and mouthpiece substantially in the manner and for the purpose
herein before described and represented in the drawings annexed.
3. The improved general arrangement and construction of tobacco pipes sub-
stantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

page_text: heel and assist in keeping the protector in position. These flanges are preferably
widest at the inner end, but may be of any suitable shape, and, if desired, one of
them may be omitted, although two are preferable.
The nail B, is provided with a tapering head f adapted to fit the tapering hole t,
in the body m, of the protector; the body of the nail is also corrugated or provided
with projections to cause it to retain its hold with greater tenacity in the heel.
The corrugations or projections may, however, be omitted, if desired.
By tapering the hole t, its entire length, and constructing the head of the nail B,
to correspond therewith, the nail will not lose its hold on the body of the protector
until the same is completely worn out or nearly so.
In the use of my improvement as shewn in Figure 1, a V-shaped notch, adapted
to receive the body of the protector, is cut in the edge of the top lift D of the heel,
suitable recesses being also cut or formed on its under side to receive the flanges v
after which the protector is inserted and secured by the nail B in a manner that
will be readily obvious without a more explicit description.
When used as shewn in Figure 2; a hole to receive the body m is punched in the
top lift D, a short distance from its edge, recesses being also formed on its under
side for the reception of the flange v. The body is then inserted in the hole from
the under side of the lift, and the lift placed in position and nailed or pegged
down in the usual manner, after which the nail B is driven into the hole t.
I do not confine myself to making the body m of the protector V-shaped,
although I deem this preferable when used as shewn in Figure 1. Neither do I
confine myself to using it with leather boots and shoes, as it may be inserted to
great advantage in the heels of rubber boots and shoes, more especially, when used
as shewn in Figure 2, either by punching a hole in the outer lift, or by moulding
it into the heel, the latter being preferable. The nail may be omitted in rubber
boots and shoes, and also, if desired, in leather ones, when the protector is used, as
shewn in Figure 2.
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
First. A heel-protector for boots and shoes, having a body m provided with.a
horizontal flange or flanges substantially as described.
Second. A heel-protector for boots and shoes, having a body m provided with a
horizontal flange or flanges and with a tapering hole for receiving a nail sub-
stantially as set forth.
Third. The heel-protector A, having the flange and tapering hole t, in
combination with a nail having a tapering head adapted to fit said hole, sub-
stantially as described.
Fourth. The nail B, having the tapering head f and projections 7, in combination
with the protector A, having the tapering hole t, and flange v, substantially as
set forth.
Fifth. The protector A and nail B, in combination with the heel C, constructed,

well together; and strain through fine linen.
The mixture or composition is used as follows.
After the articles have been starched and ironed in the ordinary way, a piece of rag
made wet with the mixture is passed over the surface of the article. It is then-the
article placed on a piece of smooth bare wood so as to form a firm foundation, and allow
rapid Evaporation.
A hot flat Iron is then passed over the article, the heel of it being raised to, from ten
to thirty five degrees out of the true horizontal, and the point, or "Toe" of the flat Iron
only being used. This Enamel cannot be obtained, with this mixture (that is to say to
such perfection) if the iron is used in the ordinary way.
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 mixture or composition manufactured and used as herein-before described for
giving an enamel like and damp resisting surface to shirts, collars, and cuffs and linen
and cotton goods in general.

ALFRED JAMES HAILES 22 Beaumont Road Hornsey Rise London N. Consulting
Chemist do hereby declare the nature of my invention for THE PREPARATION OF
SKINS, KIPS, AND HIDES BY AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROCESS KNOWN
"
"
AS
PURING OR "BATING," 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 in the application of acetic acid with or without the
presence of chlorhydric or other acid or acids, as an improvement in the process
known as "puring" or "bating" in the preparation of skins, kips and hides.
"
The skins, kips or hides are immersed in a bath consisting of the above named
substance or substances and treated precisely as in the ordinary process of "bating
or "puring," being removed when considered sufficiently, what is technically termed
'pured" or "bated."
"
The strength of the bath is entirely dependent upon the quality of the skins
undergoing treatment, as also the nature of the process or processes through which
they have been passed previous to the "puring" or "bating."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Baid
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The use of acetic acid with or without the presence of chlorhydric or other
acid or acids as an improvement in the process known as "puring" or bating "
in the preparation of skins, kips and hides.

RICHARDS Market Street Leicester Valuer and GEORGE BLUNT Syston near Leicester
Mechanist 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 our Invention is to make the weft thread Tight so that the Elastic
qualities of a Knitted Fabric is done away with.
Another Improvement is we can run in a Weft thread steadily at one even Tension.
Our Invention is an Improvement for Tension on the Weft threads used in
Circular Knitting Machines for producing Knitted Fabrics.
By the use of our Invention a Steady Tension is kept upon the Weft thread.
To the Thread bracket we fix a bobbin hollowed out to hold the threads. At the
side of this bobbin we have a projection to which we apply a peice of leather or other
suteable Material to act as a break to the bobbin.
This may be regulated by the use of weights Fixed to the leather Band.
The accompanying drawing Illustrates our Improvements.
A is the Circular Knitting Machine showing the position of the two threads.
B is the weft bobbin.
C is the leather strap.
D is the weight.
E is the weft thread.
F is the knitting thread comeing from the ordinary knitting bobbin.
G is the ordinary bobbin.

I, WILLIAM BULL of "Fairfield" Southborough Tunbridge Wells in the County
of Kent, Civil 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:-
This invention consists in the manufacture and use of an improved form or
construction of tile for roofing or other purposes as also to the apparatus by which
such tiles may be produced.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings which form part of this specification and in which :-
Fig. 1 represents an end elevation of two tiles when joined together, while
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 a perspective view on a smaller scale.
The size of the tiles may be conveniently about 8 inches across with holes of
from of an inch to 1 inch in diameter and walls of 3 of an inch to 1 of an inch,
but I do not confine myself to these sizes or to the particular form or shape of
holes shown, the object being to produce light tiles which can be readily joined
without substantial change in either cross or longitudinal section and will keep
comparatively cool even in hot climates, a further object being to produce these
rapidly and at a small cost. These objects may all be attained by passing suitably
prepared clay through a die provided with the requisite configuration and cores in
a manner analogous to that in which drain pipes are made. The tiles are cut to
length as they pass from the dies and holes are made in order that the said tiles
may be readily fixed after they have been dried and burned. The length I deem
most preferable is about one foot and in laying, an overlap of about 3 inches will
be sufficient.
It will be evident that cement or other suitable material may be used instead of
clay but the latter I deem most suitable while instead of the tiles being provided
with hooked or semicircular sides adapted to engage with each other as shown, the
section may be on the line xx, or at any other convenient point.
