Improvements in Dies for Embossing Paper and like Impressible
Materials.
I, HUDSON MINDELL KITCHELL, of 1152 Bedford Avenue, in the City of Brooklyn,
County of Kings, State of New York, in the United States of America, Gentleman,
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:-
I am aware that paper and other materials of like impressionable character, have
heretofore been embossed by means of dies with various raised or depressed designs,
such dies having been made from some metal with the designs engraved in it, or
electrotyped upon it. I am also aware that moulds have been made of soft plastic
materials, and compositions of materials for moulding metals, but I am not aware that
ever previous to my discovery and invention thereof, dies have ever been made of soft
plastic material with a hard flat flexible back and while the engraved surface is soft,
designs can be cut or engraved in it, and then hardened to such a point that the
material from which the dies are made will be both hard, to resist abrasion and tough
enough to resist cracking while being passed between rolls in embossing pliable
materials.
The ingredients composing the plastic compound are as follows: Glue, molasses,
water and plaster of Paris in the following proportions: dissolved glue one pound,
water one gallon, molasses one pint, plaster of Paris twenty pounds. These ingredients
are then placed in a receptacle and thoroughly mixed together; it then becomes a
thick sticky mass that can be easily worked.
The modus operandi employed in making the die is as follows: The composition
after being mixed is poured on a large sheet of hard flat flexible material, such as
card board, and worked over the surface of the card board with the hands or a brush
until it is perfectly smooth and of an even thickness all over the surface.
The design is then engraved in the plastic composition while it is still in a wet
state; the implements used in engraving the designs are small pieces of wood with
their points sharpened to varions thicknesses; the die is then allowed to dry and when
thoroughly dry is ready for use.
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:
A hard, flat, flexible die, the body of which is a hard, flat, flore material, and
the engraved surface of which is formed of a hardened plastic material, and capable
of being passed between rolls substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set
forth.

the following statement :-
My invention, which relates to improvements in over-edge sewing machines, is a
further development of my Patent No. 3489 A.D. 1888, and it consists in con-
structing the stepped end of the barrel so that it forms a kind of broken screw, or
the end may not be stepped but the broken screw so arranged as to answer the same

figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a part of the barrel.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the barrel.
Figure 3 is also a front elevation and Fig. 4 is an end elevation of a different
modification of a barrel.
In carrying out my invention I make the stepped end A of the barrel B of a
kind of broken screw as shown in Figures 1 and 2; or in place of the broken
screw I may construct the end so as to form broken spiral grooves beginning at a
point on the large circumference of the nozzle and ending in a point on the smaller
circumference as shown in Figures 3 & 4.
By constructing the end of the barrel as described and shown, it assists or guides
the drop of the thread over the stepped end, and the screw in itself effects the
whole work of causing the barrel to retire.
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. In over-edge sewing machines, constructing the end of the thread barrel so

Improvements in Drive and other Chains.
We, THOMAS MAXON Inventor, HENRY COLEMAN Manufacturer and EDWARD LE
BOYER, Inventor and Manufacturer all of Dayton in the County of Montgomery
and state of Ohio, 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 :—
In the annexed drawings,―
Figure 1 represents a plan view of a portion of the improved chain, and Figure 2 a
longitudinal sectional view of the same.
The invention has particular reference to that class of drive, and other chains,
constructed of separable metallic links pivotally connected together and adapted to
run on sprocket wheels, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth.
The essential objects of this invention are to produce a chain of the above
character which shall be very strong and extremely simple in construction, and
adapted to be readily shortened by the removal of any number of links or lengthened
by the insertion of new links, as the exigences of the case may require, without the
employment of independent pivotal pins, screws or rivots, the links of the chain
being held together by simply keeping the chain taut, as will presently appear.
Each link is composed of two parts or sections, the upper section being lettered a
and the lower one a', each section being formed in one piece either cast, cut or
stamped from sheet-metal-Each section consists of a rectangular or other shaped
frame & provided with a tongue b' projecting from its rear end, these tongues being
formed into hooks c at their ends, the hook on the upper section being somewhat
larger than the hook on the lower section.
When in position the frames of the links lie close together and the lower hooks
fit snugly within and are embraced by the upper larger hooks, as shown, each pair
of hooks in the chain forming an eye or loop for the forward bars of the adjacent
link to work in the bars (which form the pivotal points in the chain) bearing
against the interior of the smaller hooks-As thus constructed it will be observed,
the tension of the chain will be sufficient to prevent the links separating.
When it is desired to remove any of the links or insert more, the chain may be
separated at any point, by first loosening it a little and then sliding the upper section
of one of the links far enough to disengage its hook from its lower section, the eyes
formed by the hooks being sufficiently elongated to permit this to be done.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The combination of the frames bb provided with hooks c c, the hook of one frame
being larger than the hook of the other frame and adapted to embrace it, substantially
as described.

Figure 3 denotes an end elevation of the heel of the boot describing the floats
shut.
Figure 4 is a side elevation showing floats shut.
The boot or shoe may be constructed of canvas or of any other suitable material,
and fixed to the feet in the ordinary manner as laced boots.
The floats a, a, are made of wood, metal or of any other material, and hinged
with one or more butt hinges, or continuous hinge, to each float, these said hinges
being fixed to a wood, leather or metallic sole, with the canvas nailed, rivetted or

I EDWARD ADOLPHUS VENTRIS 9 Kings Road Reading in the county of Berkshire
Boot 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 has for its object Improvement in Inkholders. According to this
my Invention, I construct of glass, metal, earthenware or other suitable material a
chamber to contain a quantity of ink. The top part or cover to the chamber can be
also of glass, metal, earthenware, or other suitable material and can be attached to the
chamber by a hinge, screw or otherwise. One or more openings can be made in the
top or cover for the pen to dip into to receive the ink.
In the centre of the cover or a little to the side of the centre a hole can be made to
receive a pin with a knob at the top for the finger to press on. Attached to the pin
and beneath the cover is a cup made of glass or any other suitable material sufficiently
deep to receive a quantity of ink for the use of the pen. On the outside of the cover
and round the pin would be a spiral spring kept in its place by the knob at the
top of the pin, and resting on the cover. By pressing the knob at the top of the
pin the cup would be lowered into the chamber to receive a supply of ink, and
when the finger is removed the spring will expand bringing the cup close to the
opening to receive the dip of the pen.
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 particular method of regulating the supply of ink to the pen by lowering &
raising the cup by means of the pin and spiral spring attached.

Improvements in Portable Stoves.
I, THOMAS BAILEY Junior, of 1 Hampshire Terrace, Southsea, in the County of
Hants, Slate 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide portable stoves with means for regulating
the draught so as to produce a quick or slow combustion of the fuel as desired, and
thus obviate any waste of heat.
In the accompanying drawings which are furnished in illustration of my invention,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an ordinary portable stove fitted with my invention,
and Figure 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.
In carrying my invention into practice, I provide a curved blower A on to the
ends of which spindles B are attached, or they may be cast or otherwise constructed
in one with the said blower. These spindles pass through the sides C of the portable
stove and rotate in suitable bearings therein. Outside the stove the spindles B
are provided with cranks or handles D fitting over square bosses on their
extremities.
The curved blower is so constructed, and placed in such a position, that when in
the position shewn by the full lines in Figure 2, the smoke and other products of
combustion pass direct to the flue E. When, the blower is in the position shewn in
dotted lines however the products of combustion cannot pass direct to the flue,
but must pass round the blower A and over the top thereof, the blower being so
made that when turned into the dotted position, there is but a very small space between
the upper part of the blower and the top or cover F of the stove. By this means
the products of combustion are thus caused to travel along the front plate G and
sides C of the stove which thus become rapidly heated, the combustion being regulated
as 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) In portable stoves the use of a curved blower actuated by cranks or handles
passing through the sides of the stove constructed arranged and operating sub-
stantially as and for the purpose herein before set forth and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
(2) My improved curved blower rotating in front of the flue by means of cranks
or handles passing through the sides of the stove substantially as described and
illustrated.

of York, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to so arrange for carrying the wick, that a large area
of flame is obtained, but at the same time the whole of such flame is utilized.
For the above purpose I make the wick holders in the form of a cross or in radial
lines or arms, each line or arm containing a separate wick, and each wick may have a
separate means of adjustment.
By the above mode of construction both sides of the light are utilized, whereas,
when hollow circular flames are used the light on the inner side of the circle is of
little use.

Improvements in Oil-lamps.
I, JOHN HEPTINSTALL VERITY of Belle Vue Horsforth near Leeds in the County
of York, Gentleman, 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 so arrange for carrying the wick that a large area
of flame is obtained, but at the same time the whole of such flame is utilized.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan looking
at the top.
For the above purpose I make the wick holders in the form of a cross or in radial
lines or arms A as shewn, each line or arm containing a separate wick B. Each wick
may have a separate means of adjustment, or two wicks in a line may be adjusted
simultaneously from one shaft or spindle C as shewn in the drawings.
The cover is open at the top to suit the construction of the burner.
->
By the above mode of construction, I procure a large area of flame, both sides of
the light being utilized, whereas, when hollow circular flames are employed the light
on the inner side of the circle is useless for all practicle purposes.
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 construction of oil lamps having their wick holders in the form of a cross, or
in radial lines or arms, substantially as and for purposes herein set forth.

An Improved Sanitary Bandage.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings 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 :-
This invention relates to sanitary bandages.
The sanitary bandages made of linen or the like, as heretofore used, present the
defect of being stiffened by the blood, for which reason they are not only inconvenient
but also more or less injurious inasmuch as they constitute an obstacle to the free
circulation of air.
My improved bandage made according to the aforesaid invention is soft, can be
worn comfortably and is at the same time extremely porous.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 shows an upper view,
Figure 2 a side view, and
Figure 3 a cross section of the said bandage.
This bandage consists of cotton, and comprises a broad intermediate band B into
which is woven a kind of pad C of cotton threads, so that a soft, porous, sponge-like
piece is formed.
The intermediate band B is provided at its two ends with elastic straps A for
holding the bandage in position.
The sanitary bandage thus formed is applied with its soft side inwards, and therefore
will be very porous when it is folded together longitudinally and placed in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the 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 above described sanitary bandage having a broad, porous, soft intermediate
band of cotton and two fastening straps, substantially as represented in the
accompanying drawing.

Improved Sash Fastener.
I, WILLIAM JONES INGRAM, of Goldsworth Road, Woking, Surrey, Carpenter, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The sash fastener according to this invention consists of a sliding bolt to which is
attached a spiral spring, which when locked throws the bolt back enabling a feather
or projection to enter a groove towards the front. To unlock the bolt must be
pushed in so as to disengage it from the groove, and then turned half round when
the spring will throw the bolt back, this bolt is made to pass through two lips
on the bottom sash, and through a tongue on the top sash which tongue passes between
the two lips; the tongue is screwed on the edge, of meeting rail in addition to the
surface which renders it impossible to cut the bolt or open the sash without either
breaking the sash or glass, at the back of the outer lip, on the top sash is a shield to
protect the end of the bolt.

Improved Sash Fastener.
I WILLIAM JONES INGRAM, of Goldsworth Road, Woking, Surrey, 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:
To enable my invention to be properly understood I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1. is side partial sectional view.
Fig. 2. plan.
Fig. 3. end view with fastening bolt removed.
Fig. 4. detached perspective view of bolt.
A is the bottom of the top sash frame, B, the top of the bottom sash, C a metal box
to carry the bolt secared to top of sash B, this box has two pendant lips D, E, which
come over a projection F. secured to A.
Through the lips D, E, and projection F, pass the locking end of bolt G. This
bolt is made with a flat lug H, which passes through a slot 1, in box C, which when
the bolt is turned locks the bolt in and is held in place by the spiral spring J.
Cast or made in one piece with the projection F, is a back shield K, to protect the
end of the bolt. To unlock the bolt it is pushed in to free the lug H, from its side
bearing L. and turned by the handle M, sufficiently round to enable the spiral spring
to push the lug through the slot I which frees the point of bolt from F, the bolt being
prevented from passing out of C, by the collar N.
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 window fastener connected to the sashes consisting of the combination of the
parts marked C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, L, in the accompanying drawings and operating
