Improvements in Materials applicable for Making Up Garments for
Rough Wear
I HENRY JOHN NICHOLLS trading as H J Nicholls & Co Tailor and Breeches
Maker of 232 Strand London WC do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly descubed
and ascertained in and by the following statement
This invent on relates to improvements in materials having for their object the
making up of garments for rough wear, such as for sportsmen, tourists and travellers,
and which materials are not only of a light texture and impervious to wet, but are
also not liable to be cut or penetrated by thorns or the like and can be adapted for
wear in hot or cold climates
In constructing garments according to my invention I form these of a special
material composed of Indian grass and cotton, woven intermingled and compressed
together in the same manner as with ordinary cloths so as to make them of a close
texture practically impervious to rain or water and not easily cut or penetrated by
thoins cr the lihe This improved fabric or material which I prefer to be known
as the "Taipo cloth may be used by itself without any lining in the construction
of garment, in which case it is especially applicable for hot climates, but for cold
climates it is lined with wool or other suitable material, or it may form the outer
covering of those parts or portions of garments which are specially exposed when
worn, to rain, water, or undergrow th
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig 1 represents a tourists coat or jacket constructed wholly of my improved
fabric or material a without any lining, the same being weatherproof, light, and
specially adapted to hot climates
Fig 2 repre ents a pair of breeches having my improved material a sewn or
otherwise attached to the outside of the fabric b composing the said breeche
A portion only of the breeches may be covered by my improved inaterial as
represented in the drawing, and it is evident that garments other than those shewn
may be made in a similar manner, the whole or a part, or parts only of the fabric
whereof they are formed being covered by my improved material
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner he same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
(1) An improved material for garments composed of Indian grass and cotton
woven and compressed together so as to render it impervious to water or penetration
substantially as described and for the purposes specified
(2) The improved material or fabric especially applicable for the garments of
sportsmen, tourists or tiavellers substantially as herein described and set forth

Improvements in the Manufacture of Waterproof Paper and
Paper Board.
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
waterproof paper and board.
According to my said invention I take plain paper and coat one surface thereof
with such waterproof material as after drying will soften and become adhesive
under the action of heat.
1
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 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.
Where boards of considerable thickness are required I lay a number of the
dry coated sheets in a press and apply the heat by heated press plates while the
paper is under pressure. By this means blocks of any desired thickness may be
produced.
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.
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 process of manufacturing waterproof paper or board by first coating sheets
of paper with such waterproof material as when dry will soften and become
adhesive and subsequently superposing one or more dry coated sheets on a sheet of
plain paper and subjecting them to heat and pressure substantially as bereinbefore
set forth.

I, MAGDALENA HAIBLOOM, residing at 17 East 108th Street, in the City,
County and State of New York, United States of America, Inventor, 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 measuring spoons, and the object thereof is to provide
a spoon of any desired size provided with a scale preferably on its inner surface or
on the inner side walls thereof, whereby such spoon may be used to measure any
desired amount, from a half tea-spoon full up to two or more table-spoons full, or
to measure any other amounts, the character of the scale forming no essential part
of this invention, and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in
the construction hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following Specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which, Fig. 1. is a sectional side elevation
of the spoon made according to my invention; and, Fig. 2 a plan view thereof.
In the practice of my invention I provide a spoon A, of any desired size or
shape having a handle B of the usual or any preferred form and preferably within
the bowl of the spoon and on one or both sides thereof is formed a scale, which is
shown in the drawing, as intended for the measuring of any desired amount from
a half tea-spoon full to two table-spoons full.
It will also be apparent however that the scale as formed in the drawing is only
for the purpose of illustration, and that the same may be made of any desired
character or be arranged so as to provide for the measuring of any desired
amounts; and it will also be apparent that the scale need not be formed on the
inside of the spoon unless the spoon be made of metal, as it is evident that a spoon
made of glass with a similar scale on the outside thereof would answer the same
purpose.
By means of my invention, it will be seen that a convenient measuring device is
thus produced, and one which is useful and can be used at any time either in
measuring articles for culinary purposes or for measuring medicines, etc.
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. A spoon, provided with a scale, substantially as shown and described.
2. A spoon, provided with a scale on the inner walls thereof, substantially as
shown and described.
3. A spoon, the inner walls of which are provided with a scale which increases
in amount from the bottom of the spoon to the top thereof, substantially as
shown and described.

Improved Hairpin.
I, JOHN GRIEVE CRICHTON, of 16 Palmerston Place, Edinburgh, in the County
of Midlothian, Diamond 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 :-
My invention has for its object the addition to the ordinary U-shaped or
forked pin, employed for supporting the braids or bands of hair, for securing au
ornament in the hair, and for other like purposes, of a third leg of such con-
struction, and so arranged, as to enable the pin to better. retain its position when
in use.
And in order that my invention may be more readily understood and carried
into practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying drawing, in which is shown in perspective a hairpin constructed according
to my invention.
Arranged between the two legs a, b, of an ordinary U-shaped or forked hairpin,
is a third leg or prong c.
This third leg is in the form of a spiral or screw, and
is so connected at one end to the top of the ordinary hairpin that it may revolve
independently of the latter, consequently, when the pin is forced into the hair, said
third leg will be revolved, screwing itself into the hair, and enabling the whole to
better retain its position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it to be understood
that I do not claim generally a three-legged hairpin, but what I do claim is :-
-
A hairpin having three legs or prongs, one of which is arranged to revolve
independently of the other two and is in the form of a spiral or screw substantially
as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

A communication to me from FERDINAND GUTTE, of Reichenau, Silesia, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, 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, and accompanying drawing, that is to say :-
The edging ordinarily used as a protection for the hem or edge of ladies' skirts,
consists of a strong strip of closely woven material which forms the lower edge of
the skirt itself, and a lighter linen binding, which forms the outer part of the edge.
These edgings have the disadvantage, that they are easily worn out in their weaker
parts, especially at the parts where they catch the heels of the wearer.
In the improved edging, which forms the subject of the present invention, as
illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front view, and
Figure 2 a transverse section, the above-mentioned objections are avoided, the
entire band-shaped edging consisting on the part a exposed to wear or injury, of
an even strip of a suitable strong fabric, which is provided at its longitudinal edges
with narrow edges of lighter material which are folded over before being sewn on to
the skirt, so that they lie between the skirt itself R and the strong strip a of the
edging, whilst there is no fear as to its durability.
The band-shaped skirt edging described, can be made in different ways, preferably
by weaving of such bands side by side in one piece, in such manner that at the
parts where the bands are to be separated after cutting the material across, the
material is made thinner and weaker.
Such a method is used in the manufacture of silk ribbons or bands.
The combination of several such ribbons adjoining each other is, after the
necessary finishing and dyeing, cut along the thinner material, the bands or ribbons
so obtained being used for ladies' dress edging.
The improved edgings from their simplicity aud strength, can be produced at a
very moderate cost, and are more durable and effective than those heretofore used.
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 edging for ladies' skirts, consisting of a strong band-shaped fabric a, the
folded-over edges of which, by which the edging is sewn to the skirt, are of a
thinner and lighter fabric, substantially as described and illustrated.

statement:-
The object of my invention is to allow of the seat of a water close: such as
adapted for adults, being rendered available for use by children and thereby to
render unnecessary constructing for them a separate seat in water closets or
lavatories.
The device which I employ to accomplish the above object, is illustrated in the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which, Figure! is a plan view of the top of a
water closet seat embodying my improvements, and Figure 2 a section taken on
line A B, Figure 1.
My invention consists in providing an adjustable seat for use by children in water
closets and lavatories. Said adjustable seat is represented at a; being the
ordinary opening of the dimensions usually adopted in water closets for adults.
The adjustable seat consists, as shewn, of a removable board or slab, having opening c

Paris, France, Pump Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a construction of coupling such as will enable discharge
pipes, watering pipes, pipes for fire-extinguishing pumps, and the like to be
instantaneously joined or coupled together in a very powerful manner.
The invention will be readily understood from the following description;
reference being had to the annexed illustrative drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing the two parts of the coupling, separated one
from the other.
Fig. 2 is a corresponding plan thereof; and
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the complete coupling, the two parts being connected
together.
In the several figures the same reference letters serve to indicate like parts.
As shewn my coupling comprises a part a with a projection 6 designed to
receive the counterpart or corresponding part c, and to facilitate the centering
thereof.
The tightness of the joint is obtained by means of a ring or washer d of
caoutchouc, preferably inserted in a circular groove. The two portions of the
union are tightened together by means of a stirrup-shaped lever e which is
pivoted at and carries two hooks or jaws that are slightly eccentric to the
centre of motion of the lever and are adapted to engage with two studs h
forming part of the counterpart portion c of the coupling. These studs & further-
more rest in notches i formed, one on each side, in the projection b. The lever
terminates in a handle; which is turned down so as to be practically parallel
with the axis of the pipe when the two parts of the coupling are connected
together.
It will be obvious that the arrangement is susceptible of modification as regards
the forms, dimensions, and other details without departing from the essential
characteristics of the invention.

A Tool for Cleansing and Repairing the Seams of Ships' Decks
and the like.
I, ARTHUR JEFFERY, Marine Glue Manufacturer, of Marsh Gate Lane,.
Stratford, Essex, 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:-
Seams such as those of ships' decks and the like are generally filled in with a
fusible composition which has often to be cleared out so that fresh composition can
be introduced. This is sometimes effected by means of irons heated in a stove and
run along the seams, softening and driving out the composition.
My invention relates to a heated tool for this purpose which I shall describe
referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shews a side elevation partly in section and Fig. 2 an end elevation.
At the end of a handle H I fix a hollow tool T of approximately triangular
shape and on the underside of the handle I attach by means of a band B or
otherwise a lamp or torch L. The flame of this lamp passes through the hollow
part of T heating it, internal baffles being arranged if necessary to retard the
passage of the flame.
The lamp or torch L may be, as shewn, of the known construction employed for
painters' torches.
On running the tool along a seam into which its lower edge is introduced, the
cement is partially fused and pushed out or smoothed down.
A pot may be fixed on the top of T with a spout S so that fresh composition
fused by the heat can be run into the seam.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-.
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A tool for cleaning and repairing seams of ships' decks and the like, constructed.
and operating substantially as described with reference to the drawings.

Improvements in Inside Ferrules or Tube Liners for Strengthening
Joints of Tubular Frames.
FRANCIS WILLIAM ROSSER of 32 Bolton Road, West Ham, Cycle 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 :-
The object of my invention is to make an improved inside ferrule or tube liner
for strengthening the joints of tubes used in the manufacture of bicycles, tricycles
and the like.
I am aware that ferrules and liners are now in use for strengthening the joints in
tubes, and that they are made in various sizes and shapes either as split or solid
tubes, and that the edges and ends of these ferrules or liners are made both plain
and irregular in shape but in all cases they are made from plain sheet metal.
I make my improved ferrules or liners on any of the above described inethods, but
with this difference that I make them from perforated metal, or 1 perforate them
after they are made. With this object that by so doing 1 present to the melted
spelter or solder which is used to braze ferrules or liners when making or
strengthening a joint or tube, a much larger number of edges upon which the solder
can act, and by means of which it obtains a much larger surface for effecting the
necessary adhesion, than are obtainable under the present system of employing
non-perforated tubes for this purpose.
The perforations may be of any preferred size or shape, and uniform or
diverse.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which:
Fig. 1, shows a perspective view of a circular liner pierced with round holes.
The outer half of the liner is shown with more holes so as to lighten the metals.
Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of an oval liner treated in a similar manner.
Fig. 3 shows a cross section of Fig. 2 on the line x-x.
Fig. 4 shows an elevation of another circular liner provided with two different
kinds of holes.
a is the circular and b is an oval liner.
d are the circular, e are the oval, and fare the rectangular holes in the various
liners.
The liners may be straight or slightly tapered.
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:
In the construction of tubular frames for bicycles, tricycles and for like purposes,
the employment of perforated ferrules or tube liners for strengthening the joints of
such frames, as herein described and set forth.

We ADOLF GUTTSMANN, JOHN GUTTSMANN and JEAN GUTTSMANN trading
together as The Brothers Guttsmann of Siebenhufener Strasse, Breslau,
Germany Engineers, 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 most advantageous forms of fire-bars are those which are so constructed as
to secure the largest possible fire-har area as compared with the total grate area
and consequently the smallest possible space between the bars which is consistent
with the provision of the necessary amount of air for the combustion of the fuel ons
the grate, whereby also small coal or even coal dust can be used as fuel.
The object of this invention is to produce fire-bars which are so constructed as to
secure the advantages above indicated.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1. is a side elevation of a fire-bar constructed according to this
invention;
Figure 2 is an enlarged plan shewing part of two such bars;
Figures 3 and 4 are modifications of Figure 2; and
Figure 5 is a further enlarged cross section of two such fire-bars, one fire-bar
being shewn in dotted lines.
The same letters of reference are used for the same parts in the various figures..
The fire-bar is constructed with a central vertical web a, which may be straight.
as shewn in Figure 5, or may be sinuous or of any other suitable shape, having a
number of side wings on each side thereof, and so disposed that when the bars.
are placed in position to form the grate; the side wings 6 of any one bar project into.
the spaces between the side wings on the adjacent bars. The forms of the side
wings may be such as to leave an undulating air space between the bars in the
grate as in Fig. 2, or a crooked or baffled air space as in Figures 3 and 4; or they
may be otherwise formed as desired.
It is preferable to make the upper sides of the web a to converge as shewn in
Figure 5 as thereby the wings b will be somewhat inclined to the web a and are
thus less liable to injury from the stoking tool.
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 :-
A fire-bar distinguished by a central vertical web a with wings b on each side so.
arranged that when the grate is formed from such bars, the wings on any one bar
project into the spaces between the wings on the adjacent bars, substantially as..
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

respectively are formed in the sides b and c of the lower part near the ends of
one of the racks (for instance on the side e) and similar grooves f¹ g'
respectively are formed at the ends of the sides bc of the upper part near
the corresponding side e¹. A recess p, Figure 5, is arranged in the side d of
the lower part over the rack i. The bars or strips on which the insects are
pinned have their ends formed each with a recess, which each correspond
to one tooth of the rack i or k. These bars are placed in their desired position
by inserting first the one end Figure 4, in the recess p so that it engages
one tooth of the rack i and is held fast at o, and then inserting the other end k¹
in the corresponding tooth of the rack k, and a slide n, Figure 4, is then
inserted in the grooves ƒ and g so that the strips or bars are held fast.

a way that the grooves f¹g of the former engage over the slide n, Figure 4,
the inserted bars will be held so fast that the box may be turned upside
down and the contents, or the insects inspected from below without the bars l
falling out or shifting.
