Improvements in Scissors.
WC, HERMANN JOEST, and ERNST OUVRIER, of Solingen, Rheinprovinz, in the
Empire of Germany, 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 that class of scissors in which on cutting a drawing
action is imparted to the scissor blades towards each other and is characterized by
the application of a mechanism for the said purpose, consisting in the combination
of a slot guide for the scissor members, with a guide or rod between the latter.
This slot guide, in connection with a draw rod which receives the members of the
scissors directly, move the latter positively and when cutting, a drawing action of
the cutting edges towards each other is produced.
And in order that our invention may be more fully understood we have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a side view and Fig. 2 a sectional plan of our improved scissors.
a & bare the two scissor members. In the scissor member a is formed a slot
guide and in the scissor member is a pin c adapted to slide to and fro in the slot e.
On the scissor members a & 6 is fastened by means of pivots directly, without
any intermediate link, the draw rod which produces a positive drawing action of
both scissor members a¹, b¹.
The drawing also shows a spring with adjusting screw p¹ by means of which
the two scissor members can be pressed towards each other, but which does not
form the subject of this invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim, is-
Scissors, in which is formed in one of the members a slot, in which moves a pin
carried by the other member of the scissors and in which the members are in such
a manner directly connected together by a draw rod z, that when cutting, a drawing
action of the cutting edges towards each other takes place.

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 device in accordance with my invention assumes the representation or
imitation of an animals head, and the essential element in said invention consists
in the mechanical head fastener which I employ.
In the mechanical head fastener above referred to, the top and lower jaws of the
animals head are hinged together; tho jaws being held close by the action of a
spring. Said mechanical head fastenor is intended to be connected to n ladies boa,
tie or other article of clothing, and by depressing the spring, the mouth of the head
opens, and grips the other end of the boa or tie, thus holding it fast around the
neck or body of the wearer.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood, I have shown
same in the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a view of my clip in position, in an animals head, Figure 2 being a
longitudinal section, and Figure 3 a plun of the clip dotached from the said head.
The clip consists of a curved upper piece or jaw a having two side flanges d
pivoting upon a pin c wheroon likewise pivots the flanges d of a lower curved piece
or jaw braised centrally to form the tongue Figure 1, and correspondingly
recessed underneath as shown in Figure 2. Š is a spiral spring passing around the
pin caud the curved extremitics of which bear against the underside of each jaw a
and respectively, this spring having a tendency to hold the clip closed. Two or
more pius pare fixed to the front bent down part of the jaw b so as to nip between
the points of these pins and the undersurface of the front of the upper jaw a, the
article required to be fastened.
Figure 1 shows the clip fixed in an animal's head, and forming the upper and
lower palate, the tongue and the teeth thereof. This head is attached to the end.
of the boa, tie or other article, the other end of which is fastened by the clip around
the neck or body of the wearer.
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 1
claim is :-
The improved fastener or clip secreted and secured within an animal's head
substantially as herein described and shown and for the purposes set forth.

I ERNEST SCOTT FARDELL, M.A., Cantab., Clerk in Holy Orders, of Fleet,
Hampshire 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 which I call "The Acme Lettuce Tyer" is made in the following
manner, a piece of galvanized iron wire (size No. fifteen or sixteen) twenty eight
inches in length is taken and bent at two places distant eleven & three quarter
inches from each end, leaving a short piece of four and half inches between the
two bends, the two longer portions to be bent at right angles to the shorter piece
as at A in drawing; the short piece is then bent into a semicircle as at N, the
longer pieces being still at right angles to the semicircle in regard to its plane.
Next take another piece of wire, of same size and make, twenty inches in length
and bend in the same way as above only at points seven and three quarter inches
from the two ends, and form the middle piece of four and half inches into a semi-
circle as at N'.
Then twist a short piece of galvanized iron binding wire (size No. twenty or
twenty-one) round the semicircle N close to the bend (vide K) passing the end down
so as to bind the shorter length to the longer length as at O, thus forming a
hinge at O.
Next twist the end of the shorter length round the longer in one turn so as to
clasp the longer length, vide B, thus forming a second hinge at B.
The second shorter length to be bent so as to form a hook, C, which hooking
round the second longer length keeps the tyer closed.
After this take another piece of the same binding wire about twelve inches in
length and twist one end round, (not tightly) just above the hook C at D', passing
the end between the other two lengths above the hinge B at L & fasten the
end round the longer length above the place where the hook clasps it, at D, the size
of this circle F to be above
The tyer is thus made.

First open the tyer then take a lettuce & gather the leaves in one hand, with the
other hand stick the two projecting ends of the tyer into the ground close to the
lettuce, one end on each side, and close the tyer round the lettuce and hook
the fastening-the lettuce will thus be held securely, and inner leaves well
blanched.
The circle F can be moved up or down according to wish.
The proportions of the tyer described can be increased or diminished in order to
make a larger or smaller tyer.
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, CHARLES BLUNDELL LEATHERBY, of No. 7, Lisle Street, Leicester Square,
in the County of Middlesex, Saddler 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 improve-
The object of my invention is an improvement to side saddles.
ment consists entirely in cutting away the top of the safe, the advantage of this.
cutting away is that it cannot cause any injury to the rider and leaves the withers
of the horse quite free, thus allowing the air to pass more freely. On the drawing
I have shewn my perfected saddle.
In Figure 1, seen side ways.
In Figure 2, front view.
In Figure 3, foreshortened.
As can easily be seen by looking at the drawings the safe "A" which in the
ordinary way covers the withers of the horse is cut away, as is shewn by the black
lines marked "B" thus leaving the withers of the horse perfectly free and thus
preventing the folds the leather makes at the bottom of the head " a. My inven-
tion does not in any way interfere with, or alter the saddle-tree as now made.
"
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 as my own and exclusive property is
1. That in my new side saddle the top of the safe is cut away so as to free, and
not cover the withers of the horse, thus being easier for the horse, and preventing
risk of injury to the rider herself, because the folds which before used to occur at
the bottom of the head "a" are done away with.

An Improved Speed Indicator chiefly designed for Velocipedes.
I, DAVID YOUNG, Patent Agent, of the Firm of D. Young & Co., 11 and
12 Southampton Buildings, London, W.C., 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 automatic speed-indicator_or "coach" described in the Specification of
former Letters Patent, No. 3562, dated 17th February 1893, works well, but I have
found that, on pebbly roads, stone paving or badly kept roads, the shocks or jars
encountered by the wheel which transmits motion to the indicator somewhat affect
the indications of the instrument, the driving cord or band repeatedly becoming slack
by reason of these shocks or jars and thus causing irregularities in the rotation of
the spindle of the said instrument and consequently a continual vibration or
oscillation of the pointer or indicating needle thereof.
I have accordingly devised a method of overcoming this slight inconvenience, by
the application of a fly-wheel V, which, as shown in the single figure of the
accompanying drawing, is arranged on the spindle a inside the case C of the
instrument.
The action of this fly-wheel tends to maintain or keep up the speed of rotation
of the spindle a, thus preventing vibrations of the pointer caused by short but
repeated interruptions in the transmission of motion to the instrument, which
interruptions are produced as above described by shocks or jars due to the
unevenness of the road passed over.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improvement in the apparatus described in the Specification of the said
former Letters Patent, No. 3562 of 1893, which improvement consists in the
application of a fly-wheel V to the spindle a of the said apparatus, substantially
as above described and shown in the accompanying drawing, for the purpose
specified.

I, EDWIN MURRAY DICKINSON Murray Works 122 & 124 Rockingham Street
Sheffield Cutlery 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 :-
In the large variety of table & carving knives & forks and butcher knives in
which the bolster (1) does not form a solid part of the blade, and (2) is not
secured by means of a pin or rivet the bolsters and caps are now made by placing
the blade or fork in a mould, and running into same a suitable molten metal, which,
as it cools, secures itself to the blade or fork. Hitherto, however, though bolsters
and caps have been made in a variety of shapes, only plain surfaces have been
produced in this manner.
My invention is to take, instead of the moulds now used, moulds of steel or other
metal and to sink below the usual surface any required ornamental design, and
by means of running on, which part of the process will be done in the usual way,
to bring out the design in relief on the surface of the bolster or cap.
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 applying of ornamental designs in relief to the surfaces of bolsters and caps
of table & carving knives and forks and butcher knives, by means already

JOSEPH THOMAS TOWLSON of 41 Elsie Road Great Yarmouth England,
Mechanical 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 main object in designing the pipe grip which forms the subject of the present
Specification has been to "provide a ready means of converting an ordinary spanner
or wrench into an efficient tool for gripping pipes or the like.' It bears a wedge-
like form and is made of tempered steel; serrated on the face and rebated (or plain)
on the back. When being used it is placed on the inside face of one jaw of an
ordinary spanner with the unserrated side next the jaw: the spanner with the
gripping piece attached is then applied to a pipe, or the like with the object of
turning it in a certain direction; & by pulling the spanner in the direction
indicated by the arrow (Fig. VI) the teeth are imbedded in such pipe or the like,
and the greater the strain that is put upon the handle of the spanner the more
firmly the grip holds the pipe. To release the hold of the tool on the pipe, it is
slacked back in the usual way.
Referring to the accompanying drawings..

Improvements relating to Dyeing Wool with Chromium Lakes.
I, EMIL HOFFMANN, of the Firm of Otto Starcke & Company, of Leipzig-
Lindenau, in the Empire of Germany, Factory Owner, do hereby declare the
ature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to
e particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a dyeing process to produce dyed chromium lakes on the
wool fibre in one bath. Until the present time with those artificial and natural
dye-stuffs which were fastened on the wool-fibre as dyed chromium lakes, the wool
was generally chromed in one first bath and then brought into the dye-bath where
the formation of the dyed chromium lake took place. This process occasions
through the necessary use of two baths a double expense of labor, heat,
water, etc.
If in place of the generally employed bichromate of soda or of potash there is
used the tartrate, citrate, oxalate, succinate lactate, benzoate, salicide or malate of
chromium, the dye-stuffs in question can be fixed just as firmly in one bath.
These organic salts of oxyde of chromium can also be replaced by a mixture of
the organic acids of the said salts before named, with other salts of chrome
oxyde, viz.: with the muriate, sulphate, nitrate, fluorate, acetate, nitro-acetate,
nitro-sulphate, sulpho-acetate or like compounds, or the double salts such as
chrome alum.
In this one bath process all such artificial and natural dyestuffs, or mixtures of
both can be employed, which can be fastened either previously or subsequently by
a treatment with chromium compounds.
As an example of the method of carrying out this improved process for 100 lbs.
wool, the dyebath is to be made up with about 3-4 lbs. of tartrate of chromium
and 3-4 lbs. gallein, the wool is brought into the bath and boiled until the desired
shade is obtained.
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:-
1. A process for the production of one dip (one bath) dyestuffs, obtained by
compounding on the one part, the tartrate, citrate, oxalate, succinate, lactate,
benzoate, salicide, or malate of chromium oxyde-or a mixture of the organic acids
of the said salts (tartaric, citric, oxalic, succinic, lactic, benzoic, salicylic, or malic
acid) with other salts of oxyde of chromium-with such artificial or natural
> dyestuffs on the other part which can be fastened on the woolfibre either previously
or subsequently by a treatment with chromium compounds, substantially as
described.
2. A dyeing process employing the above named salts of oxyde of chromium or

We ARTHUR STEPHEN FORD of 19 Brixton Hill S.W. Engineer and HUGH
TULLOCH of 4 Fenchurch Avenue E.C. 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 :-
Our invention relates to an improved method of advertising & consists in an
apparatus for displaying a series of advertisements in conjunction with the
distribution of paper for toilet or other purposes.
The accompanying drawings serve to fully illustrate our invention in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a machine embodying our invention.
Fig. 2 a section on the dotted lines indicated in Figure 1.
In the drawings:
A is the roll of paper which is wound on the spindle a.
B is a roller mounted to turn on a spindle bearing at each end in the case F of
the machine.
The roller is provided with the ratchet wheel b controlled by spring C.
Projecting from the front of the machine is the horizontal cutting edge d which
is attached at each end to the levers D. D.
These levers are pivotted respectively on each side of the case and are provided
one, with the springed lever E engaging with the ratchet wheel b and the other
with the springed extension G.
The mode of operation is as follows:
When the operator (by pulling on the paper strip A) has withdrawn the length
of paper required he presses the same down upon the cutting edge d.
The pressure causes the lever to rock projecting the lever E against the wheel b
thus feeding the roller B round one space.
The roller B bears advertisements upon its periphery which at each movement of
the roller are brought into view of the operator through the aperture f¹ in the
case F.
The moment the strip has been severed by the cutting edge d & the pressure
removed the spring extension G serves to return the lever & cutting edge to its
original position.

The paper strip emerges from the case through a horizontal slit in the front of
This slit is provided with rubber strips for other equivalent to
prevent the return of the paper.
the case.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A roll holder in which the severing of a piece of paper serves to actuate a
series of moveable advertisements all substantially and for the purpose as herein-
before set forth.

An Improved Stretcher for Window Blind Cords.
We SAMUEL TITHER of 73, Wallshaw Street, Oldham, Tool-fitter and JOE
CHAPMAN of 12, Bartlemore Street, Oldham, Tool-fitter 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 an improved device for stretching the cords of window
blinds, and is intended to provide a simple arrangement which will keep them
always stretched at a suitable tension.
The pulley over which the cord passes is carried at the end of a strong spring
fitted to a base plate, screwed or otherwise fixed to the window frame in the usual
manner. At the other end of the spring is fitted a screw passing through a lug or
projection on the plate and furnished with a nut which can be turned by hand
regulating the tension of the spring and cord to any desired amount.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a front and Fig. 2 a side
elevation of the device.
A is the plate screwed at a to the window frame, and furnished with lugs a', one
at each end, perforated to allow of the other parts passing through.
The spring B of strong spiral form is fitted at its upper end with the bar C
passing through one of the lugs a' and bent round to form a bracket in which the
grooved pulley D is pivoted. The cord E passes over this pulley in the usual
manner to the pulley wheel of the window blind.
To regulate the tension and fix the spring to the plate, the screw F is fitted to
its lower end passing through the other lug a'. On this is placed the nut ƒ formed
with a milled edge. The nut abuts against the face of the lug a' retaining the
spring at its lower end so that as the nut is screwed on the pulley is adjusted
according to the length of the cord.
With this device if the cord stretches, the spring will take up the slack and keep
the cord taut, and any excessive lengthening can be allowed for by adjusting the
screw.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) A device for stretching window blind cords consisting of a strong spring, &
bar at one end forming a bracket to carry a grooved pulley, and a screw at the
other, with a nut for adjusting the tension, the parts being fitted to a base plate
formed with lugs through which the screw and bar pass substantially as and for
the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved window blind cord stretcher constructed and operating
substantially in the manner described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings
and for the purposes specified.

A New Medicinal Compound for the Treatment and Cure of
Whooping Cough.
I, PATRICK RICHARD REID, of 97 Upper Georges Street, Kingstown, in the
County Dublin, Ireland, Medical Doctor, 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 reference to a new or improved medicinal or chemical
compound for the purpose of treating and effectually curing the natural ailment
known as "Whooping-cough."
Hitherto this distressing and exhausting malady has been considered incurable
by the medical faculty, and has therefore been simply allowed to pursue its natural
and wearying course, until the disease either exhausted itself, or the case proved
fatal.
To alleviate this condition of human suffering is the object of the present
invention, and to this end, I propose to employ a combination of certain drugs or
chemical ingredients each of which when administered as hereinafter described is
destined to exercise its individual specific action.
The specific drugs or chemical ingredients-together with the approximate
proportion of each (apothecary's weight)-which I propose to employ are as
follows:-
(1) Sulphate of quinine-approximate
(2) Hydrobromic acid
(3) Hydriodate of potash
"
18 grains.
30 drops.
-
18 grains.
These doses to be administered in each case three or four times a day or oftener
according to the severity of the malady, reducing the quantity as the patient
improves.
It may be observed that amongst the advantages of this medicinal compound, no
nauseating or narcotic drug is used, and it may therefore be safely administered to
the youngest and most delicate infant without danger.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood,
that what I claim is :-
In the treatment and cure of the natural ailment known as whooping cough,

page_text: the use and application of a medicinal compound composed of the following
ingredients, namely:-
(1) Sulphate of quinine.
(2) Hydrobromic acid.
(3) Hydriodate of potash.
(4) Spirit of chloroform.
(5) Simple syrup.
(6) Red poppies (liquor of)
each in the approximate proportion, substantially as herein specified and set forth.
