I HAROLD JOHN PICKERING of The Old Bank House, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex,
Dental Surgeon, 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 attachments for springs in
dentures the objects being to facilitate the fitting of a new bolt in the case of one in
use being broken, to subvert the possibility of injury to the spring in putting same
on to the swivel shank, to set up a standard size of swivel bolt and spring so as to
render those of different manufacturers interchangeable and particularly this
improved attachment will render it impossible for a spring to work off a denture
when in situ.
In order that the invention may be well understood I have herewith annexed a
sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, and will refer to same by figures and letters
in the following more particular description.
Fig. 1 shows the improved bolt.
Fig. 2 internally screw threaded tube roughened or squared externally where
same is set in the vulcanite.
Fig. 3 is an end view of the tube Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 shows in front view the improved swivel and
Fig. 5 is a side view of the improved bolt and swivel ready for fixing between
the vulcanite and the spring of the denture.
The bolt Fig. 1 has the shank a screw threaded as shown to within about
one tenth of an inch of the head a¹ leaving a smooth neck a² equal to the thickness
of the metal of the swivel eye.
The screw thread of the shank a is to fit a thread internally of the tube b said
tube being externally of square form and in some cases roughened to afford firmer
setting or attachment in the vulcanite.
The improved swivel is formed as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 with an eye c and
screwed shank d said screw is of somewhat peculiar shape the screw guage
depending upon the spring of the standard guage which is to be screwed on to the
swivel shank d. The thread or worm on d, should fit the spring without expanding
it in any way whatever.
Fig. 5 represents the shank of the bolt a screwed into the tube b with the swivel
eye c between the end of tube band the head a', of the bolt a, leaving the dependant
swivel hanging loosely and ready for fixing in the vulcanite, although during the
vulcanising process it is considered desirable or better to substitute a peg of wood
or other material as will by experience be found most satisfactory.
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 :-
First. The improvements in attachments for springs of dentures as and for the

page_text: Secondly. The combination of the bolt a, a', a³, with the tube b and eye c with
the screw threaded shank d constructed and operating as herein set forth and
substantially as shown by the drawings.

I, JAMES AITCHISON of 47 Fleet Street London E.C. Optician do hereby
declare the nature of my said 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 manufacture an improved clip for holding or
encasing folding glasses, eye glasses, and other articles, conveniently arranged for
the pocket.
According to my invention I form the clip of an irregular oblong shape, closed
or partly closed at one end, and open round the remaining edges or otherwise.
The two leaves, forming the sides of the clip, are slightly bellied, and there is
just sufficient spring in the material to enable the clip to hold and retain any
small article as aforesaid with a slight pressure.
The clip may be made of xylonite, ebonite, vulcanite, celluloid, tortoiseshell, or
other analogous material.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters
of reference indicate corresponding parts.

mprovements in the Manufacture of Imitation Solid Wood Panels.
I, PIERRE ESQUILLOT of 7 Rue Coznac, Bordeaux, in the Republic of France,
Carpenter 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 imitation wood panelling and has for its object to
construct same with economy and solidity and freedom from splitting and
contraction which often happens when using solid wood only.
The improvements are as follows:
Several sheets of paper or card board are stuck one over the other, according to
the thickness which it is desired to obtain. A sheet of veneer of any kind is
applied to each side exteriorly to cover the coatings of paper or of card-board, and
to give the appearance of solid wood; the whole is fixed together with glue which
is made up with the addition of the following substances:
(1) Colophony. (2) Linseed-oil, and (3) Any convenient coloring powder,
and afterwards compressed between two hot surfaces. The duration of compression
may vary from 4 to 5 hours. With this process panels of any thickness and size
can be made. Should great rigidity be required, one or several leaves of veneer
may be placed between the layers of paper or card-board.
Every species of designs, shapes, and inlaid-work, mosaic, and incrustation can
be given to the panels thus made which may also be colored, painted, varnished or
lacquered and be flat or curved.
The aforesaid glue is composed of 10 kg. of strong glue, 1 kg. of colophony and
500 grammes of linseed-oil; the colophony is dissolved in the oil and the whole
poured into the strong glue, when the latter is dissolved, the coloring matter is
mixed therewith if necessary, and the corresponding parts are covered with the
mixture.
The mosaic is made by the same means as inlaid-work, or marquetry, that is to
say by cutting the sheet of veneering and by arranging different other pieces of
wood of different kinds to form various designs, and by then applying this sheet
upon the paper or card-board layer like a sheet of ordinary veneering; the process
is the same for incrusting, same for instance, with mother of pearl, copper or other
materials.
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 :-
(1.) The improvements in the manufacture of imitation solid wood panels,
consisting in glueing together sheets of paper or card-board or both, sometimes
with veneers, and glueing on the exterior surfaces of panels so formed veneers of
wood ornamental or plain.
(2.) The use in the above manufacture of a special glue made up with colophony,
linseed oil and coloring powder.

THOMAS WALTON VIPOND, Stanhope Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Watch-
maker and Jeweller 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 :-
With all pipes there is an accumulation of juice or nicotine and the desideratum
is to arrange its removal us simply and as effectually as possible, and so prevent
the nicotine finding its way to the mouth of the smoker.
By my invention a pipe can always be cleaned of juice and obstructions by the
simple process of unscrewing and withdrawing the mouthpiece. This is brought
about by the extension A Figure 1 projecting from the stem B of the mouthpiece C
being fitted at the extremity with a disc D as near as may be the size of the
bore of the pipe E Figure 2. When the mouthpiece C is screwed up the disc D
extends beyond the inlet F into the bowl G of the pipe; and when unscrewed and
withdrawn the disc acts as a scraper removing all accumulations in the stem or
bore of the pipe.
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 which I
claim is :-
The extension of the bore E of the pipe just beyond the inlet F into the head,
and the provision of the disc D (as near as may be the size of the bore) attached
to the extremity of the rod A fitted to, and extending from, the mouthpiece along
the whole length of the bore of the pipe-beyond the inlet into the head-so that
when the mouthpiece with its fitting of rod and disc is withdrawn the disc D
acts as a rake cleaning out the bore or stem of the pipe as described, and
substantially as represented in the annexed drawings.

New or Improved Tables or Supports for Gymnastic
Representations.
1, CARL ALEXANDER BRUNO BERG, Artist, of 45 Blumenstrasse München,
in the Empire of Germany, 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 tables or other supports especially appropriate for
gymnastic representations said tables being provided with rich, tasteful and
effective decorations, and arranged to be placed one on the other and form a
support.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 shows the tables combined when in use consisting
of single tables a of different sizes, which are placed one over another for the
formation of the pyramidal shaped stand supporting a pyramidal top consists
conveniently of a framing b, having at its apex a plate c, upon which the artist
makes his exhibitions.
The plate c, Figs. 2 & 3 is seated with its rod upon a ball k, which lying in the
casing allows of the easy revolution of the plate c. By means of a ratchet-
wheel and pawl, the plate is prevented from revolving backwards which facilitates
considerably the exhibition. This arrangement can also be fixed by means of a
binding screw.
In order to make the production more effective, the single tables are provided on
one or more sides and edges, also on the legs with electric lamps i, which may be
of various colours. Also devices formed of such lights can be arranged. In order
to obtain a simple manner for putting the lamps into circuit and to spare unnecessary
wire-conducts, the conducting wires e of all the lamps of one table are united to
one wire f, which is connected in a convenient manner with the contact-plate g, so
that at the desired moment all the lamps of the pyramid are lighted at the same
time.
The wires e are conveniently united upon the rear side of the tables, so that
they are possibly hidden from the public and do not injure the decorative
effect.
In order to augment the effect, metal-mirrors or the like can be arranged on the
tables in a convenient manner.
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 :-
1. A support formed by tables of different sizes placed one over another for
gymnastic representations, in which all the tables etc., are provided with electric
lights, whereby the conducting-wires for the lamps of one table are united to one
single wire passing to the contact-plate.
2. In the support obtained as under Claim 1 a plate c arranged on the apex of
a pyramidal support and seated turnable upon a ball k with ratchet-wheel and
newland fixing

Improvements in Cartridges for Using Nitro and other Quick
Burning Powders.
1, WILLIAM FORD of St. Mary's Row, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,.
Gunmaker, 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 supplement the ordinary cartridge case by a
contrivance to lessen the initial shock on the ignition of the powder charge, so
reducing the first recoil and the strains on the barrel and action of the firearm,
aud also in the case of small arms-saving the user from sudden shock and jar.
My improvement will be best understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. I shews a section lengthwise of a cartridge fitted with my improvements.
Fig. II shews the improved part separately; Figure III shews a modification,.
and Fig. IV shews a further modification of Fig. II.
In Fig. I a is the cartridge case; b is the cone within the case, and c is my
improvement.
It will be seen that c consists of a flat disc or piston c', having a hollow stem c
made in one piece therewith.
The disc or piston of c rests on the cap chamber d, and the hole through the
etem forms a continuation of the flash hole of the cap chamber.
The hollow stem c passes through the base of the cone b a certain distance into
the body of the powder charge. By varying the length of the hollow stem c³ the
powder charge may be ignited at any part of its length; and, by modifications of
the diameter and shape of the bore of the said hollow stem, great control can be.
attained over the rate aud mode of burning of different kinds of powder, and
different charges.
And the advantages apply not only to the powders and the different charges of
powder, but also enable similar charges of powder to be fired in due relation to
different weights of shot or bullets; and in relation to different calibres of bore,
various pitches of rifling, and also the driving power required.
The modification shewn in Fig. III consists in making c, and o' and the
cone b in one piece.
The modification in Fig. IV consists in making a special cap chamber with
my improvement of the extended ignition tube embodied therewith.
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. The use in cartridges of the ignition regulator c for the purposes set forth.
2. The modification shewn in Fig. III.
3. The modification of the cap chamber shewn in Fig. IV; combination of the
cap chamber and ignition tube in one piece being thus secured.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Impermeable Fabrics.
JOHN JAMES MANN, 38 Rue du Louvre, Paris, France, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In coating or impregnating textile fabrics or other similar material with water-
proofing substances such as liquid celluloid we find that in order to prevent
cracking or peeling off it is preferable to raise or card the surface of the textile
material in such a manner that the small hairs or fibres may become buried in the
waterproofing matter, thus helping to unite it with the fabric or other material.
The hair or pile may also be used to form a cushion or pad under a coating of
waterproof matter in order to give greater flexibility to the treated fabric.
Our invention therefore consists in producing a pile on cloth to treat it with
liquid celluloid or other suitable material, by means of raising carding or other
similar processes.

I, JOHN JAMES MANN, late of 38 Rue du Louvre Paris and now of 40, King
Street, Cheapside, London 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:-
In coating or impregnating textile fabrics with waterproofing substances such as
liquid celluloid I find that in order to prevent cracking or peeling off it is
preferable to raise or card the surface of the textile material in such a manner
that the small hairs or fibres become buried in the waterproofing matter, thus
helping to unite it with the fabric or other material.
The hair or pile may also be raised to form a cushion or pad under a coating of
waterproofing matter in order to give greater flexibility to the treated fabric.
In carrying my invention into practice I find that fustian is a very suitable
fabric to employ-it is a cotton texture which has a pile raised upon it by a carding
operation. 1 coat this fabric on the pile side by means such as are described in
the Specification of Annisons Patent No. 19,710 in the year 1891. I may employ
any suitable spreading machine such for example as a doctor blade beneath the
edge of which the fabric is led with more or less tension according to the thickness
of the coating which it is desired to employ. The celluloid compound lies against
the doctor blade and the fabric passing beneath it carries forward upon it a film of
the composition. The drying of the fabric is carried on in the manner described
in the before mentioned specification.

page_text: 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 :-
Coating with waterproofing substances such as liquid celluloid, the face side of a
textile fabric which has a pile upon it obtained by means of raising carding or
similar process.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres for Wheels of Vehicles.
ISRAEL HAYES 13 Speakman Street Runcorn in the County of Cheshire Joiner
and Carpenter 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 an improved compound band or strip, to be interposed
between the air bag or tube, and the outer cover or envelope of pneumatic tyres
as applied to vehicle wheels generally, the object of such compound strip being
to prevent puncture occurring to the said air bag or tube when the wheel is
in use.
My invention consists of a rubber or other elastic band of such a width, as to be
capable of entirely covering so much of the said air bag or tube as may be exposed
above the rim of the wheel the said band being also partly enclosed by the said
rim, and upon the outer surface of the said band, I fix transversally, strips of thin
metal, by rivets passing through the ends of same and the said elastic band, and in
such a manner that the said strips of metal partly overlap each other, and so
prevent puncture of the air bag, and by reason of the lateral rigidity of the tyre
occasioned by the presence of such a band, the trouble hitherto arising from side
slip is to a great extent materially prevented.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a cross section of a pneumatic tyre
provided with my improved puncture proof band, while Fig. 2 is a side elevation
or plan of the said band.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the rim of the velocipede or other
wheel, B the air tube or bag C the rubber or other elastic band, upon which the
ends of the steel segments D are rivetted, Fig. 1 illustrating the position the said
armoured strip would occupy upon the outer surface of the air bag or tube, while
the outer cover or envelope employed, would enclose this and the air bag 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 I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a puncture proof band for pneumatic tyres, the combination of a rubber or
other elastic strips such as C, having rivetted upon its outer surface overlapping
strips of metal such as D, and the employment of same interposed between the air
bag B, and the outer cover or envelope of the tyre, substantially as and for the
purposes herein described and shewn.
Dated this 23rd day of May 1896.
