Weft Fork Stop-motion for Weaving Looms.
WILLIAM RUSHTON BOWKER, No. 4 Fairmont Terrace, St. Paul's Road, Preston,
Lancashire, Machinist, 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 work a weft fork from each end of the loom, so
that in case the weft thread breaks or is run out of the shuttle, the loom will stop at
whichever end the thread is broken, thereby preventing the overrunning of the loom,
as is the case now, when the weft thread is broken at the opposite end to where the
weft fork is usually placed.
The method of doing this is described as follows-Reference to drawings 1-2 and 3
which show end, and front views, and plan respectively, I place two levers a and a¹,
two weft forks band 1, two tappets c and c', one of each at each end of the loom, as
shown in Figs. 1-2 and 3, these are the levers, weft forks, and tappets, usually
used.
I then place a rocking shaft F in a suitable position, near the bottom of the loom
preferred, on which are fixed two levers E and E. To the top of lever E is attached
the weft fork, the weft fork &' being attached to the knock off lever G in the usual
way, lever E and lever G are connected by a link H as shown in Drawings 1-2
and 3, but the weft fork can also be attached to the lever E' same as weft fork / to
lever E, and the levers E¹ and G will be connected by a link H which gives the
same result.
The modus operandi is as follows-In case there is no weft thread at the position of
weft fork, the tail of the weft fork 6 will catch onto the projection of lever
u, which
is actuated by tappet c, and will then move lever E, rocking shaft F, and lever E',
connecting link H, and lever G, which actuates the strap fork in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is;
1. The combination of lever E, rocking shaft F, lever E', and connecting link H,
with levers a and a', weft forks band 6, tappets c and c', and knock off lever G,
substantially as described in the accompanying Specification and drawings.

hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A foot & bed warmer made from a solid lump of fire clay fire brick or terra cotta,
having a glazed or enamelled surface, with the bottom or underneath also enamelled
or glazed, the reason for enveloping it entirely in a coating of glaze or enamel is to
cause it to retain its heat longer than if only glazed or enamelled on the surface or
top, as this glaze or enamel is a none conductor & not being porous keeps in the
heat a long time & having a smooth exterior are more easily kept clean & also
slides more readily between bed clothes.
The warmers may be made of any suitable shape & may be made with or without
a fast or removable handle.

FREDERICK DIXON NAWELL Ironmonger &c. 240 Stretford Road Manchester
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 improvements in foot & bed warmers, and are made of a
solid lump of fire clay fire brick or terra cotta, this being the best material that
we know of, cach one to have the surface as well as the underneath covered with a
glaze or enamel.
The reason for entirely enveloping them in a coating of glaze or enamel is to
cause them to retain the heat longer than if only partly covered with the glaze or
enamel, as this glaze & enamel is a none-conductor being none porous; also being
quite smooth on the outside & are more easily kept clean & they also slide more
readily between the bed clothes &c.
These warmers may be made of any suitable size or shape.
To some of these warmers, we propose to have handles so that they may be used
as bed airers, these handles to be permemently fixed or detachable for convenience
of packing handling &c.
I am quite aware that plain fire bricks, also fire bricks partly glazed or enamelled
have been used for this purpose.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
A foot or bed warmer made of a solid lump of fire clay fire brick or terra cotta,
having its entire outside enveloped in a coating of glaze or enamel.

Improvements in or connected with Corkscrews.
I FRANZ DUSKYNSKI Merchant, of Thorn, in the Kingdom of Prussia and German
Empire do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This inveution relates to means in connection with corkscrews for preventing
injury to the hand when uncorking bottles and enabling the safe removal of the cork
from the corkscrew.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. I. shews the corkscrew fitted with the safety device (the latter partly in
section) in connection with a bottle to be uncorked which latter is shown in section.
Fig. II. section of Fig. I. on line xx.
Figs. III, IV, V, are front and side elevation and plan of the device for removing
the cork from the corkscrew.
The metal ring A of the strap B of the corkscrew is lined with leather. In the
strap the screw C. is guided in the well known manner, above it is placed as usual
the spring D. to facilitate uncorking.
Corkscrews constructed as or similar to the one illustrated in the drawing, are
according to this invention surrounded with a loather jacket E. the top of which is
slotted so as to give passage to the strap of the scrow upon which said jacket is
guided. The corkscrow is capable of sliding in the jacket so that it may be adjusted
according to the length of the neck of the bottle.
The safety device may assume any form according to the construction of the
corkscrew and may be made of other materials than leather such as rubber or gutta
percha.
In using the corkscrew the jacket E. is slipped on the bottle neck, the lined ring A
bears against the mouth of the bottle and thus prevents contact between the metal
and the glass and consequently the chipping off of particles of glass.
The bottle may now be uncorked without fear of injury should the bottle break as
its entire neck is surrounded by the jacket E. oven bottles that are cracked may
readily and safely be uncorked.
For safe removal of the cork from the corkscrew the metal cylinder G is used; it
has a handle F at its end, the other end terminating in points Ĥ which as shewn in
Fig. III. are inserted into the cork.
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 :-
I. In a corkscrew the metal ring A jacket E. and cylinder G. all substantially as
nd for the purposes set forth.
And for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in Combination Latches or Locks.
ALFRED WILLIAMS Lock Smith 27 Drayton Street Wolverhampton in the County
of Stafford 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 Combination Latch or Lock is made to lock and spring the same as any other
ordinary latch or lock. But it so constructed that it has the advantage over all
others inasmuch as when the bolt is locked out the levers become locked at the same
time which makes it perfectly secure with either false keys or any description of
instruments.
This Combination Latch or Lock is made to lock and spring the same as any
ordinary latch or lock. It is so constructed that it has the advantage over all others
inasmuch as when the catch C marked in the drawings is raised by a leaver marked D
at the back under the bolt B being raised by the step marked S on key which first
presses up under the arun of catch C. When unlocking the bridge made on bolt B
slides back under the arm of catch C and holds it up which allows the leavers L to be
worked by the knob.
When it is being locked the step S on key first raises leaver D at the back and
raises the catch C and allows the bolt B and bridge on bolt to slide and lock them
the catch C falls into the grove G and makes it secure.
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 what I claim is
The lock having several leavers marked L in the drawings when locked are held
by a catch marked C which falls into a grove marked G in the leavers which secures
them.

An Improved Method of Sharping or Roughing Horse Shoes,
1, THOMAS BOYES of 6 St. Nicholas Terrace, Hull Road, York, Farmer 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 designed to facilitate the roughing of horse shoes in frosty
weather. It consists of a block of cast iron about a foot long, and about four
inches square in section, on the surface of which, recesses or indentations are
formed to enable the smith to form the necessary projections on the shoe.
The shoe being heated is placed on the block at b, when the desired roughness
is formed on its surface by means of hand tools in the usual way.
I will now proceed to describe the invention with reference to the accompanying
drawing in which
Fig. 1 shews an elevation of my block for roughing horse shoes, and
Fig. 2 a plan view of the same.
b, is a semicircular seat on which the shoe is laid when being roughed, d, is the
recess for forming the nogs or calkers of the shoe. a is a butt or support for
the shoe being roughed.
It will be seen that the block takes the place of the usual tongs for holding the
shoe while being operated on. When placed in the seat b, or slot d, the shoe
is so held and supported that its weight is no longer sustained by the arm of the
workman, whose both hands are left free to operate on the shoe in the usual
manner; consequently the process of roughing or calking the shoe can be
carried on with greatly increased speed.
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 :-
1. An improved method of roughing horse shoes by means of a prepared iron
block as herein described and set forth.

reach the bowl at the end of the wire coming into the bowl aforesaid I arrange
suitable hooks or catches which take hold of a piece of worsted or other suitable
material which is pushed to the bottom of the bowl with a match or other suitable
article. The hooks upon the wire are then made to take hold of the worsted and by
twisting the wire and withdrawing same the worsted is drawn down the stem thus
cleansing the same. The said wire may also be used as a cigar or cigarette holder in
BO using it the hooked end is pushed into the side of the cigar or cigarette and
the smoker takes hold of the other end of the wire.
Fig. 1 represents the pipe in section with the wire therein. A is the bowl of the
pipe B the interior of said bowl C is the worsted or other material D is the wire
and E is the hook at the end thereof.
Fig. 2 shews the said wire and the form of hook at the end thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which it is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
(1) In pipes the method of cleaning same by drawing through the stem by means
of a hooked wire a piece of worsted or other material and
(2) The combination pipe cleaner and cigar or cigarette holder by using the
wire for cleaning pipes as a holder for cigars or cigarettes substantially as herein-
before described and set forth.

Improved Apparatus for Grating Carrots and other Vegetables.
I, JAMES RAMSAY, of Primrose Bank, Stair, Tarbolton, in the County of Ayr,
Missionary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved apparatus designed to be used for grating
carrots and other vegetables, and it consists of a cylindrical sheet-metal drum,
which is formed with a rasp-like surface produced in the same way as is the surface
of an ordinary hand grater, the said drum being mounted on a spindle carried in a
stand or bracket provided, with a clamp for securing it to a table. The spindle
which passes through the bracket and drum and is supported in a bearing formed
for its end in an arm of the bracket, is furnished with a crank handle whereby the
drum is rotated whilst the carrot or other substance to be operated on is entered
through an orifice formed in the bracket arm and pressed against the periphery of
the rotating drum. The drum, which is closed at one end and open at the other,
may be placed vertically or horizontally. In the former case the grated material
drops on to a receptacle placed upon the table and in the latter case the spindle is
unshipped to empty out such of the material as may pass into and be left in the
drum.

An Improved Hammock Chair.
I JOHN FIELDING of Somerset Lawn in the City and County of Gloucester
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
tollowing statement:-
This invention refers to the construction of a hammock chair capable of adapting
itself automatically to the posture of the occupant whether it be a sitting or reclining
one.
The improved chair may or may not be capable of being folded up into a small
compass.
When not made to fold up, I prefer to adopt the construction shewn in Fig. 1 in
the drawing, in which two flexible side frames, such as A of spring steel or other
motal are connected together by cross pieces B, B¹ to which is attached a
hammock C.
Although when unoccupied the chair might be of the form shewn in full lines,
when occupied, it might assume any position such as indicated by the dotted
lines A', or A, according to the weight or attitude of the occupant, or whether the
occupant sat farther forward or backward in the chair.
A folding chair possessing somewhat similar characteristics may be constructed by
pivotting the frames at D, D', to horizontal bottom bars E as shewn in Fig. 2.
These pivots allowing a virtually similar movement of the frame, to that produced
by the flexure of the frame shewn in Fig. 1. The frames in this case may be
either flexible or rigid and of any suitable material such as metal or wood.
In order to prevent the frames from tilting over too far in either direction their
lower ends may be provided with projecting toes as D2, D3, which in extreme
positions come into contact with the ends E', 2, of the bottom bars E.
Suitable cross pieces would be provided for the purpose of imparting the necessary
lateral rigidity.
Springs may be provided at F. G for connecting the pivotted bars, to hold them
up when the chair is unoccupied ready means being provided for disconnecting
them and also the hammock to permit of the chair being folded up.
Fig. 3. shews the chair folded up.
The lower part of the chair frame may be curved to form rockers if so desired.
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 hammock chair in which the ends of the hammock are attached to a flexible
frame, so constructed and arranged that it automatically yields and adapts itself to
the attitude of the occupant, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a hammock seat, of an elastic frame, the whole
constituting a flexible hammock chair substantially as described in reference to
Fig. 1 in the drawing.
3. The combination, with a hammock seat, of a pivotted flexible chair frame the
whole constituting a flexible folding hammock chair, substantially as described in
reference to Figs. 2 & 3 in the drawing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 and 2 show two modifications I employ to secure door knobs on their
spindles, in each Figure the knob on the left end of the spindle is shown in side view,
and that on the right end in section.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 show outer end views of knobs, each severally referred to
hereafter.
In the first modification shown at Figure 1, the spindle A is provided at each end
with a screw thread on the angles, upon which an interiorly screw threaded cap B is
screwed the required distance, the inner end of the cap is also screw threaded exteriorly
for a sufficient length to engage with the interiorly screw threaded portion C¹ of
the knob C.
The cap B is flanged at its outer end so as to slightly overlap a circular hole formed
in the outer end of the knob C, the flanged end of the cap may be formed with crossed
grooves as shown at Figure 3 so as to admit the point of a screw driver for screwing up
the cap, or the flanged end may be formed with eight sides as shown at Figures 4 and 5
to admit of a wrench being employed to screw up the cap.
In the second modification shown at Figure 2 the spindle A is provided at each end
with a screw thread on the angles, upon which a screw threaded nut C² is screwed the
required distance, a projecting ridge is formed across the outer face of each nut, which
engages with a groove of corresponding shape cut in the inner end C of the knob C.
A circular hole is formed in the outer end of the knob to admit the stem of an
interiorly screw threaded cap B₁ having a flange at its outer end provided with
crossed grooves to admit the point of a screw driver or formed with eight sides to
admit of a wrench being employed to screw up the cap.
When the cap is screwed up its flange presses upon the knob or its other end may
press on the interior of the knob and clamps it onto the nut C² and firmly holds it.
The outer end of each knob may be plain as shown at Figures 3 and 4, ornamented
as shown at Figure 5, or with any suitable design.
The knobs may be made of any suitable metal or material provided with the usual
square hole in the neck to correspond with the size of spindle employed.
The caps B and B¹ may be made of any suitable metal, with the interior screw
thread corresponding with the screw threaded spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The two methods of securing door knobs on their spindles, substantially as
described and illustrated in the Drawings annexed.

We WALTER SCOTT HICKS, Gentleman of Ann Arbor, State of Michigan, and
THE ALE AND BEEF COMPANY, a corporation organized under the Laws of the State
of Ohio, of Dayton, County of Montgomery, State of Ohio, Manufacturers both in
the United States of America 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 stimulating and strengthening ionic beverages and funda-
mentally consists of a fermented liquor holding beef in solution.
Any fermented liquor may be employed and any form of beef be used therewith
which can be dissolved in the liquor, but we prefer to employ ale and to incorporate
therewith beef in the form known to the trade as "Rose's Peptonized Beef." The
proportions are as follows
Ale -
Peptonized Beef
29 gallons
1 to 2 pounds.
The beef is placed in the ale and the two raised to a convenient temperature, the
liquor being preferably agitated while exposed to the heat. The liquor is retained at
this heat a short time and is then allowed to cool and the liquor drawn off into casks
or bottles. The beef being peptonized is immediately assimilated on being taken
into the stomach and a pleasant beverage which contains a very considerable amount
of nutritive matter is provided.
We may choose to add to the amount of ale and beef above given, cascara sagrada,
of leaves from half a pound to one pound or of the fluid extract of the same, one fifth
less. This effects the system in a well known way and assists the action of the tonic
properties of the liquor in relieving from constipation and strengthening and toning
the stomach.
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. The herein described medical and tonic beverage consisting of ale holding beef
in solution.
2. The herein described medical and tonic beverage consisting of ale and peptonized
beef.
3. The herein described medical and tonic beverage consisting of ale, peptonized
beef and cascara sagrada in the proportions set forth.

A Lady's Half-fur Lined Cloak.
HENRY FRIEDEBERG, Manufacturing Furrier, 12 Falcon Street Aldersgate Street,
London, E.C. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A lady's cloak having the upper part-(or so much of the garment as extends
from the neck to the hips)-lined with fur; and the lower part from the hips
downwards, lined with quilted silk or other materials.
Lady's cloaks of similar styles have always been made lined with fur through-
out; and the system has many disadvantages, the principal one being that a
garment so made is too warm and heavy for this, and similar climates; being
made so by the fur used for lining the lower part of the garment, which is
superfluous and serves no useful purpose.
My invention entirely does away with this-the principal-objection, as the
half-fur lining only gives the warmth where it is required, viz.: on the back, chest,
arms and hips of wearer.

A Lady's Half-fur Lined Cloak.
I, HENRY FRIEDEBERG, Manufacturing Furrier, 12 Falcon Street, Aldersgate Street,
London E.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 :-
A mantle made of a combination of furs and textile fabrics; the mantle being
made of the textile material with the upper half from the neck to the waist or
hips, being lined on the inside with fur skins; and the lower part from the
waist or hips to bottom of garment being either lined with silk or materials other
than fur, or remaining unlined.
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 a fur lined garment so constructed is much lighter in weight than one
entirely lined with fur ; and
(2) That whereas mantles of similar styles have always been lined with fur from
top to bottom, this Invention is only lined with fur half way down.
