I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.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 present invention relates to improvements in fasteners for scarves, neckties and
the like.
The pins in use at present to fasten and retain the band of the scarf or necktie
when worn are sewn rigidly into the stiffening plate and the band is pressed against
the pin which is thus forced through the band.
The object of this invention is to spring the pin and thus render its operation more
easy and comfortable and preventing a catching of the point in the band when the
latter is withdrawn.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a back view of a scarf the stiffening plate of which is provided
with the improved spring fastener.
Figure 2 is a section through the stiffening plate in the direction of the pin.
Figure 3 is an end view of the stiffening plate with the spring fastener.
To the pin is fastened a stud H and the pin slides in guides LL' formed on the
guide plate G. The front guide L is split on the top for the introduction of the pin
the hind end of which is passed through the hind guide L' after the spiral
spring F is placed upon the shank Z of the pin. This shank is preferably flat up to
the stud H which is held against the front guide L by the spiral spring while the
point S of the pin is round.
When the scarf is to be fastened the stud H with the pin is drawn back when the
shank Z will pass through its guide L into a groove A in the plate and the point S
will be withdrawn into a notch in the stiffening plate. The band is now placed in
רז

page_text: position and when the stud H is liberated the point S of the pin will pass through
the band under the action of the spring F. When the scarf is to be unfastened the
pin is withdrawn by the stud H and the band then removed.
The guide plate G is fastened in any convenient or suitable manner to the stiffening
plate.
The guide is moreover formed with a slot in which slides a projection I fixed on the
underside of the stud H thus forming a third guide for the pin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the same is
to be performed I declare what I claim is :-
The herein described scarf fastener consisting of a pin S a guide plate such as G
a spring F for projecting the pin and a stud H upon which is a projection I sliding in
a groove or slot in the guide plate G attached to the pin to afford a means of with-
drawing it substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

I, HARRY LIVESEY, of No. 2 Victoria Mansions, Westminster, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 :—
My invention relates to means of holding at various heights sliding sashes, such as
those of railway and other carriages or of windows generally, as I will describe
referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 are vertical sections shewing the sash in two positions, the one down
and the other up. Figs. 3 and 4 are part sectional plans on X X and Y Y respectively.
Fig. 5 is a part front elevation with part of the frame removed to shew the catch and
spring. At either side or at both sides of the sash frame, I fix a spring Sand a
hook H, and on the guide of the sash I form several notches N which may be in a
metal strip M. On pulling up the sash by a handle such as A and straining it towards
the operator he can engage the hook H in any of the notches of M. Each of these
notches N as well as the hook H which engages in it is made with such a slope that
the strain of the spring S is insufficient to release it, while it keeps the sash pressed
against the guide with sufficient force to prevent vibration. When it is desired to
lower the sash, the operator has only to raise it a little so that the hook H becomes
disengaged from the notch N and thereupon the sash is free to descend.
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 combination with a sliding sash, a spring, a hook and notch arranged and
operating substantially as described and illustrated by the drawings.

Improvements in Elevator Buckets:
I, JOHN BRUCE SUTTON, of Boston Works, Bristol Street, Hulme, in the County
of Lancaster, Millfurnisher, 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 applies to all elevator buckets, made in three or more pieces from sheet metal.
Hitherto the joints of the buckets have been liable to give way under heavy wear,
causing loss of time and expence in replacing and repairing them.
My invention is intended to obviate this, and consists in bending the edges of the
sides of the bucket inwards and, the edges of the body outwards, so that when com-
bined and fitted together by soldering, brazing, rivetting, or any other suitable
method, they form a strong dovetail joint.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood I send herewith a sheet of
Drawings in which:-
=-
Fig. 1. gives a perspective view of an elevator bucket, fitted with my improvements;
in which a is the side and the body, united by the dovetail joint c c shown in section
enlarged in Fig. 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 :—

I, CONSTANT PROSPER TABARY of 53 Boulevard Garibaldi, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Sculptor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The processes for manufacturing the said cement are as follows.
1. In forming a solution of hydrochloric acid saturated or not with zinc to
which is added about 8 per cent. of borax and also about 8 per cent. of hydrochlorate of
ammonia.
2. In immersing the crushed stone of trachytic origin in the liquor thus obtained,
in drying it, and then in mixing it in about the above mentioned proportions with the
oxide of zinc and magnesia.
This mixture when made is dry. In order to apply it, it is diluted in the metallic
acid which has already served as has been described for the immersion of the trachytic
stone before its mixture with the oxide of zinc and magnesia.
The cement which I thus obtain, owes the greater part of its advantages to the
magnesia and to the previous immersion of the stone in the metallic acid.
This cement gives to stone to be restored exactly the color belonging to it, at the
same time being of greater durability than that hitherto obtained by any of the known
processes.

page_text: The processes for manufacturing the said cement are as follows:-

HENRY FISHER 22 Oakley Street Chelsea Doctor of Medicine do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A flexible band as a support for the knee joint allowing free action with any
amount of pressure desired. The front portion is made of steel wire, so worked in
the network or meshing as to act with the action of the joints, sametime keeping up
an even pressure during the action. It is applied with broad leather straps above and
below, but the centre portion is a broad strap of buckskin divided into two at either
side (to buckle either inside or outside) with two buckles, the centre straps being
the means of applying the amount of pressure required over the joint.

page_text: HENRY FISHER 22 Oakley Street Chelsea Doctor of Medicine 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 is for the support of the knee joint with even pressure to any extent
required as a bandage, at the same time allowing free action of the joint.
The portion over the joint is made of steel wire netting, Fig. 2 made so that the
moshing dovetails from above downwards to act with the bending of the knee, but is
fixed from side to side so as not to lose pressure with the action. The wire portion is
worked on a plaster cast of the knee and made in two or three sizes and will fit any
knee.
It is fixed by a wide leather strap Fig. 1 above and below the knee, to which
the wire portion is attached.
The sides are fitted with buckskin, hollowed out at the back to allow for the bending
of the knee, and fastened with two buckles at the outside, these straps only to be
used for the required pressure, as Fig. 3.
The wire portion is lined with thin moulded felt to prevent the wire pressing on
the skin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what my
claim is
1. It acts as a completo support for the knee joint like a well applied bandage same
time allowing free action of the joint, which advantage is not acquired by any other
appliance in use up to the present time.
2. It is light and portable, weighing only about two ounces, and adds scarcely
any size to the joint.
3. The pressure can be regulated in a moment whenever required by the two straps
and buckles attached to the middle portion, Fig. 3, without interfering with the top
and bottom straps, Fig. 1, which are merely for the purpose of keeping the appliance
in position.

I, CHARLES WILLIAM PRICE, of 129 Highbury Hill, in the County of Middlesex,
Printer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention is to produce guide lines on school and other slates
which shall be indelible in ordinary use. For this purpose I rule or score the slate
with incised lines by means of any suitable instrument or apparatus, and I then paint
the surface of the slate, where such lines are ruled, with a compound consisting, for
example, of a mixture of dry colour in powder such as vermilion, red lead, white lead,
chrome, or other suitable pigment according to the colour the lines are intended to be,
with boiled linseed oil, varnish or other suitable vehicle and what are known as patent
dryers, or with other suitable siccative material. These ingredients are mixed together
in such proportions as will form a paste of somewhat thicker consistency than cream.
This paint fills the incised or scored lines on the slate, and when thoroughly dry, the
whole surface is ground with fine stone and water with or without fine sand, or
otherwise, so as to remove all the paint except that which fills the said incised or scored
lines. When this grinding operation is finished, the slate appears with lines thereon
of the colour of the paint employed, and these lines are waterproof and indelible in
ordinary use, that is to say, they are not obliterated or removed by the ordinary use of
the slate in writing, or in washing or wiping the same. Bronze powder may be added
to the paint if it is desired to produce gilt lines, and other effects may be produced by
employing appropriate materials in combination with the paint.
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 formation of guide lines on school and other slates by first incising or scoring
the lines therein and then filling such incised or scored lines with paint substantially
as hereinbefore described.

follows:-
:-
We propose to construct these coops of wood, metal, or both or the combination of
these and or any other known substances which may be found expedient for the
purpose. They may be of any dimensions. The two sides of each Coop to be joined
together with hinges belts straps or ligatures of canvas cloth leather metal or other
material or the combination of any or all of these. The two ends are hinged as above
described to the two sides-one of them being sparred--and may be of
any dimensions..
When in use the Coop presents a triangular shape in section thus "A"-the slope of
the sides being determined by the dimensions of the ends. Pins are inserted through
the opposite side to which the ends are hinged into the edge of the ends in order to
retain the ends in position when the Coop is in use. The great advantages to be
derived from our method are that the Coop not being fastenned together with Nails or
Screws as hitherto can be folded and stowed away or removed from place to place
when not in use thus occupying little more space than the actual cubical contents of
the material of which it is constructed.

When a machine is constructed in this form it is used and works as follows:-
Anything required to be washed is immersed in liquid and the funnel shaped part
of the apparatus is then continuously pressed sharply down on it and then lifted up
again The effect of this motion is to drive a considerable quantity of liquid through
the substance being washed.
When the funnel is lifted up from off the material or substance being washed the
liquid is again drawn through its substance and by this reflex process all foreign
substance is removed.
Having now particularly ascertained the nature of my said Invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1 claim is
(1.) That by the using of this machine a large quantity of liquid is forced back-
wards and forwards through the substance being washed effectually cleaning it and
without in any way damaging its substance.
(2.) Each time it is plunged up and down in the liquid it whistles indicating that
the work is proceeding.
(3.) The working of this machine is less laborious than any other washing
machine.

fulcrum or bearing F.. From this fulcrum a spring G is carried backward to the
platform B and is attached thereto with bolts or clips, the spring G has a lug or fork H,
fixed to it at B to which is attached the side springs of conveyance.
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) That the shafts being attached to the stay E. which plays on the cross spring D,
and being fixed to the spring G, attached to the platform B. does not communicate
the motion of the horse (which is known as knee motion) to the body of the
conveyance which thus gives greatly increased comfort in riding.
(2) That the manner in which the shafts are attached, gives much greater freedom
and safety to enter or leave the conveyance.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CASEMENT FASTENINGS
Year: 1887

page_text: We, SOREN KRISTENSEN, and ANDERS JENSEN, Engineers, both of No. 6 Skonbogade
in the City of Kopenhagen, Denmark, do. hereby declare the nature of our Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN CASEMENT FASTENINGS 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 casement fastenings, the object being to
produce a fastening which will operate in all kinds of weather and enable the casement
to be readily opened or closed.
Figure 1 is the side view of a window post with improved fastener and closed
casement.
Figure 2 is a like view with partially opened casement.
Figure 3 is a section of the fastening with partially opened casement.
A is the window sill, A', the window post, B, the rabbet in the window sill and post.
The mechanisin is screwed to the centre post A' by means of the screw d'and
consists of the lever with two arms of different length 60 which are arranged at right
angles to each other and turn around the screw d and consists further of the connecting
piece a which is attached at the one end to the window frame by means of the pin f
and at the other end by means of an eye to the pin e in the arm b' of the lever bb.
The extreme end of the lever arm is provided with the knob c which acts as handle,
the extreme end of the arm 61, with the broad headed pin e to receive the eye of the
connecting piece a. By operating the handle c the lever bb, is turned around the
screw d and in order that the movement of the parts may be facilitated the plate a²,
is screwed to the window post. A piece of sheet metal g with guide slot in which the
connecting piece a can freely move is let into the window frame C.
The eye of the connecting piece a is of such size that the connecting piece a can be
readily freed from the pin e. If the window is to be opened the lever arm 6 is raised
by means of the handle e so that the connecting piece a will force the window some-
what outwards so as to admit fresh air into the room.
If the window is to be entirely opened the connecting piece a is released from the
pin or pivot e.

page_text: The drawing represents the window with the casement opening outwards but can be
applied to windows opening inwards. The main advantage is that the window can be
readily opened and closed even in damp weather without any exertion whatsoever and
that a sufficient ventilation can be attained without having to entirely open the window.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is:―
A casement fastening in which a lever with two arms of different length 1, which
turns around a screw d is connected by a pin or pivot e in the short arm, to the
connecting piece a in such manner that by operating the lever bb, the casement can
be readily closed and opened, substantially as described in the foregoing specification
and shown in the accompanying drawings.

Specification Accepted, 12th July, 1887.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, M.I.M.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 present invention relates to improvements in horseshoes with removable toes.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 represents a front view of the shoe with the toe.
Fig. 2 a side view in section without the toe.
Fig. 3 the same with the toe.
Fig. 4 a plan of the underside of the shoe.
Fig. 5 a detail of the chamber a hereinafter described.
In the cold season when the state of the ground rapidly changes, horses are in want
of shoes which enable them to pass with security over ice and frozen ground.
Heretofore shoes have been used for this purpose having fixed toes which had to be
sharpened at the commencement of cold weather and repeated sharpening at the forge
has been necessary.
The object of this invention is to design a horse-shoe having a removable.toe so that
a sharpened toe can be fitted to it without the shoe being taken off the horses' hoof.
To this end a conical chamber a is formed in the front of the horse shoe and
provided with an opening c at the back. Into this chamber a the correspondingly
conically formed shank of the toe d is inserted, the screw threaded pin d¹ of the shank
passing through the opening c at the back of the chamber a and secured from the
outside by a nut e.
The edges of the toe may be either blunt or sharpened as circumstances require.
These shoes are cast of malleable iron and the chamber is formed by the introduction
of a correspondingly formed plug or core.
The mould in the manufacture may be

page_text: made in two parts the upper one of which forms the wall of the chamber. If made
by hand only one mould is used.
The toe d'is preferably of steel and may be stamped by suitable machinery.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondents I declare that what I claim is :—
1. A horse shoe with removable toe secured in a conical chamber of the shoe by
a nut screwed onto the shank of the toe passing through an opening at the back of
the chamber.
2. The method of manufacturing such shoes by casting the chamber being formed
by the introduction of a plug or core.
3. In casting by machinery the use of a mould in two parts the upper one of which
forms the wall of the chamber.
4. The manufacture of toes with conical shanks d and pins d' by stamping them of
steel in suitable presses.

page_text: I THOMAS BAILEY, Junior, of Commercial Road, Portsmouth, Slate and Iron
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 relates to certain improvements in window fasteners, the object being
to construct a sash fastener that shall be easily operated, prevent opening from outside
and also prevent rattling.
The Invention will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying sheet of
illustrative drawings and by the following description that is to say :-
Fig. 1 is an elevation shewing catches and levers.
Fig. 2 section of case of window.
Fig. 3 elevation of same.
Fig. 4 side of sash shewing iron plate with holes for catches.
Fig. 5 plan on line A. B. Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 views of catches.
the top sash.
The one marked 1. being for the bottom sash and 2 for
Fig. 7 section of sash (Fig. 4) shewing iron plate.
On the inside of top and bottom sashes of the window are fixed iron plates with
holes a therein (Fig. 4).
Inside the case of the window for the top and bottom sashes are fitted (as shown in
Fig. 2) a cam C, catch D and spring E, the head of the catch projecting through
the case and takes into the holes a in iron plate of sash (Fig. 4) and holds the sash
firmly.
To this cam C is attached a lever arm F, (Fig. 3) terminating in a handle or
knob G as shown in Figs. 1 and 5.
The lever arm F is turned by handle G and operates the cam C which acts on
catch D and either unlocks or locks it in holes a according to the way in which it is
turned.
It will be seen from Fig. 6 that the catch for the top and bottom sashes slightly
varies at the part which engages in the holes a of the sash plate Fig. 4.

page_text: The lever handle G will extend inwards from the window as shown in Fig. 5 to
allow of manipulation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved construction of window fastener as herein set forth and shown by the
drawings.

A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE AND IMPROVED METHOD OF MARKING CIGARS
Year: 1887

page_text: Date of Application, 9th Mar., 1887.
Complete Left, 21st Apr., 1887.
Complete Accepted, 24th May, 1887.
1 OSWALD BARNSDALE of Freechurch Street, Derby Road, in the Town and County
of Nottingham, Cigar Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE AND IMPROVED METHOD OF MARKING CIGARS to be as follows:-
The means generally adopted to mark cigars, is to place round the cigar a paper
band or label, on which is printed, or stamped the trade mark or name of the brand
by which the cigar is known.
Another method is to stick a small gummed ticket on the cigar.
These ways of distinguishing cigars have their disadvantages.
In the first, the gum by which the ends of the band are joined sometimes adheres to
the cigar and when the band is removed it is apt to tear the outer covering of the
cigar.
In the other case where the ticket is stuck on, the injury is still more considerable
if it is pulled off.
My improved method is to attach to the lighting end of the cigar, by means of wire,
thread, quill, cane or other material, a small tag, medal or token made of some suitable
substance.
Whichever material is used to hold the tag, medal or token, the same is inserted
into the open end of the cigar and this, when withdrawn by the smoker, has a tendency
to improve the draught of the cigar.

page_text: I OSWALD BARNSDALE of Freechurch Street, Derby Road in the Town and County
of Nottingham Cigar 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 invention has for its object an improved method of marking cigars--and in
order that my invention may be more fully understood, I now proceed to describe the
same by the assistance of the accompanying drawing.
My method is to attach to the lighting end of the cigar a small medal or token, by
wire, thread, quill, cane or other material, but preferably thread.
Now by means of a needle made as shewn in drawing A the thread is drawn
through the cigar by inserting the needle at the point and bringing it out at the
bottom end.
The needle is then withdrawn, leaving some of the thread projecting. To this
portion of the thread the medal or token is tied and the thread which remains at the
point of the cigar is now used to draw the medal or token close up to the lighting end
and then is cut off.
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-
1stly. The marking of cigars by the attachment of a medal or token.
2ndly. The manner of attaching the medal or token to a cigar as hereinbefore
described.

An Improved Disinfectant and Oxidising Agent.
We, JAMES COCHRAN STEVENSON M.P. Chemical Manufacturer, of Westoc, South
Shields, and JAMES GRAHAM TATTERS, Analytical Chemist, of Dean House, South
Shields, both in the County of Durham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:-
These improvements relate to the production of permanganate of soda to be used
as a disinfecting or oxidising agent, by means of a dry substance which is conveniently
portable and always ready for use.
For this purpose we prepare a mixture of manganate of soda in powder and
bleaching powder (Chloride of Lime so called) the more intimately these substances
are mixed the better.
When this mixture is dissolved in water the permanganate of soda is developed in
solution and the characteristic color of permanganate is produced.

page_text: An Improved Disinfectant and Oxidising Agent.
We, JAMES COCHRAN STEVENSON, M.P., Chemical Manufacturer, of Westoe, South
Shields, and JAMES GRAHAM TATTERS, Analytical Chemist, of Dean House, South
Shields, both in the County of Durham, 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:-
These improvements relate to the production of permanganate of soda to be used
as a disinfecting or oxidizing agent by means of a dry substance which is conveniently
portable and always ready for use either in the dry state or in solution.
For this purpose we prepare a mixture of manganate of soda in powder and
bleaching powder (chloride of lime so called), the more intimately these substances
are mixed the better; or we arrive at a like result by exposing a mixture of manganate
of soda and slaked lime previously ground together to the action of chlorine gas as is
done in the manufacture of bleaching powder.
When this mixture is required in solution, it is dissolved in water, when the
permanganate of soda is developed and the characteristic colour of permanganate is
produced. We find that this action is more rapid when warm water is used.
We do not confine ourselves to any proportion of manganate and chloride of time,
but we have found that 6 parts by weight of commercial manganate of soda to I part
by weight of bleaching powder form a suitable proportion. When the mixture is for
use as a dry powder to be sprinkled over the place to be disinfected it may be diluted
with some inert powder so as to prevent waste of the disinfectant.
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 :-
Our improved disinfectant and oxidizing agent consisting of a mixture of manganato
of soda with bleaching powder as herein before described.
