Improvements in Golf Clubs.
I WILLIAM DUNN of the Golf Club Biarritz France Professional Teacher and
Golf Club and Ball Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The improvement consists of the golf clubs being made with a convex sole, the
apex being in the centre for the purpose of driving the ball out of a hollow place in
the ground without cutting up the earth, which gives the ball the whole force of the
blow, which is of great advantage to the player. The improvement may be applied
to either wooden or iron clubs.

Improvements in Golf Clubs.
1 WILLIAM DUNN Golf Club Biarritz France, Professional Player and Golf
Club & Ball Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what inanner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
& by the following statement :-
The improvement consists in the sole of the club being made convex, instead of
flat as in clubs at present made. I make the club in the ordinary way except that
instead of forming the sole flat I make it convex, the face being flat as in ordinary
clubs. By this means the ball receives the full force of the blow, & the player is
enabled to drive the ball out of a hollow place in the ground without cutting up
the earth, & out of dents & long grass. The invention is applicable both to
wooden & iron clubs. The accompanying drawing of a golf club head shows my
invention, the part marked A. being the convex sole.
Having now particularly described & 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 golf club having a convex sole, instead of a flat sole as in clubs at present
made.

Improved Method of Preserving Eggs and other Articles of Food.
I, VILHELM CARL HANNO JESSEN of Kattesundet, 14, Copenhagen, in the
Kingdom of Denmark, 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 provide an improved method of preserving eggs
and other articles of food by simple means.
In carrying out my invention, a quantity of caoutchouc, rubber or gutta-percha
is dissolved in a suitable solvent, for example, naphtha or benzine, and the solution
thus obtained is spread on one face of a sheet of tough, thin, and, preferably,
transparent paper by means of a brush or of any suitable distributing device, so
that the paper shall be coated on one side with a coating of said dissolved rubber,
gutta-percha or caoutchouc. After this coating has dried, or even while it is still
moist, the paper is cut into sizes sufficient to surround the article to be preserved,
for example, eggs, and in each piece of paper thus obtained, an egg or other article
is placed in such a manner, that the face of the paper provided with the above
mentioned coating comes in contact with the said egg or other article. The paper
is then so folded, creased, or bent, that the edges of the same shall come in contact
with their coated surfaces, and the edges of the paper are then pressed against each
other, by hand or by mechanical means, so as to form absolutely tight. joints. The
paper is then twisted, pressed, or shaped, by hand, or by mechanical means, so as
to rest snugly against the article to be protected. As the surfaces of the
paper
that come in contact with each other along the edges are coated, a hermetically
sealed envelope is thus formed around the article to be preserved, for example, an
egg, and thereby the air, moisture, and other deleterious agents, are. prevented
from coming in contact with the same. The egg is not in any way affected by
coming in contact with the coating or paper, and does not crack when it is boiled;
as is the case with eggs preserved by other methods. If the paper used is thin and
transparent, the egg can be examined without difficulty, by means of a light, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether it is in good condition or not.
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 preparation of the preserving envelope as hereinbefore set forth.
2. The method herein described of preserving articles of food and especially eggs,
by enveloping them while still fresh in an envelope of thin, tough paper provided
on one face with an airtight, adhesive coating, and pressing the envelope closely up
to the egg, or other article, as set forth.

Improvements in Stable Fittings.
ALFRED TOZER, Superintendent of the Manchester Fire Brigade Chief Fire
Station, Jacksons Row, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in harness and stable fittings. In the
drawings herewith the construction of the apparatus is clearly shown.
Figure 1 is plan and Fig. 2 elevation of the stable fittings.
n

page_text: The sliding door "A" works in two channel irons or grooves "B." At the
back of each pillar is a weight box C; and each pillar carries a pulley "D" over
which runs a rope preferably of wire, or a chain, one end of which is attached to
the sliding door and the other end to counter balance weight "E."
On the bottom of each weight box is a buffer or spring F. "G" is a pin or
catch attached to the .support engaging in the sliding door; or the catch or pin
may be attached to the door and engage in the support.
H. is a rubber buffer at the top of support to receive the impact of the sliding
door.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-It being desired to release the horse
from the stable, the pin or catch "G" is disengaged and the sliding door imme-
diately ascends to ceiling and gives egress to the horses.
Similarly on placing the horses in the stable the sliding door is brought down
and the pin or catch replaced. On the inside of sliding door in either stall is fixed
a manger K and if required a hay rack not shewn. Any ordinary stable can be
fitted with the arrangements described above.
The horses can be loose or tied, by the ordinary head gear or in preference a
neck strap and chain working in a ring or eye fixed to side of stall. It is obvious
that one sliding door or shutter may be made to release any number of horses from
either of the respective stables, but it would be found in practice that one sliding
door should be supplied to two stables only.
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 arrangement of the sliding door with manger attached substantially as
described whereby the horse stands facing the stable door instead of the wall as
usually arranged, thus saving time in getting the horses out in case of emergency.

An Improved Alloy for Hermetically Closing Glass Tubes and other purposes.
Year: 1891

page_text: Date of Application, 25th Apr., 1891-Accepted, 30th May, 1891
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Alloy for Hermetically Closing Glass Tubes and
other purposes.
I FRANZ WALTER of Vienna in the Empire of Austria Captain of Artillery &
Professor of the Imperial & Royal Technical Military Academy do hereby
declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The present invention relates to the production of an alloy for hermetically
sealing glass tubes, as also for forming a durable and air tight joint between glass
tubes and metal, let into or passing through the same.
The hermetic sealing of narrow glass receptacles or tubes as also an air tight
combination of metallic or other bodies with glass, are requisite for numerous
purposes, for instance in the manufacture of incandescent electric lamps. In these
lamps the current conductors (metallic plates or wires) in passing through into
the interior of the globe must form an airtight joint with the glass. Such joint
must however be durable and indestructible by or during the burning of the
lamp.
I effect this air tight closure of glass tubes by means of a metallic alloy having
the following properties viz. nearly the same coefficient of expansion, as glass; a
comparatively low melting point (about 360° C.) considerable power of adhesion to
clean glass surfaces, takes a good polish, resists atmospheric influences, and may be
granulated.
The alloy consists of about 95% tin and 5% copper, the percentage of the latter
being allowed to vary to the extent of 1%. By adding about 0.5%-1% of lead
or zinc, the alloy may be made softer or harder, or more or less easily fusible. The
considerable power of adhesion to glass possessed by the alloy renders a firm and
durable adhesion possible, by simply dipping the glass object in question, which has
been previously warmed to about 80° C. into the alloy.
Owing to the fact that the coefficient of expansion of the alloy and glass are
nearly the same the glass may expand under the influence of heat without in any
way destroying the joint.
The alloy is produced by pouring the proper proporting of melted copper into
the tin whilst in a melted state. By stirring the molten metal with a wooden
stirrer the alloy will generally become homogenous on simply melting it in a second
time. By shaking or agitating the molten mass the same may be granulated like
pure tin. The alloy may also be used for coating metals and wires, as it imparts
to the same an appearance of silver.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. An alloy for hermetically sealing glass tubes or for connecting metals
with glass consisting of 95% of tin and about 5% copper substantially as
described.
2. In the alloy covered by Claim 1, the addition of about 0.5-to 1% lead or
crocified

Improvements in Fishing Rod Line Guides or Rings.
WILLIAM HARDY & JOHN JAMES HARDY trading as Hardy Brothers Fishing
Rod & Tackle Makers London & North British Works, Alnwick in the County of
Northumberland, 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 improvements in fishing rod rings, or guides, whereby
the line is prevented from rubbing against & fraying the lappings by which the
ring or guide is attached to the rod, & consists of an ordinary snake or spiral
shaped ring with the two vertical or uprising parts of the wire connected by an
improvement of another wire, at such a distance from the body of the rod itself,
that although the line has perfect freedom of action it is never allowed to touch
the lappings.
The same results can be obtained by the improvements of placing a distance
piece of wood or other material between the rod & line, or by making the palms
corrugated, so that the corrugations prevent the line from touching the lappings,
thus saving the necessity of having the lappings renewed yearly.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is an end view of ring or guide & section of the rod, A is the frame or
what is generally called the snake ring, H the line, C the palms around which is
bound the lappings to secure the ring to the rod, & B the improvement or distance
piece which as well as strengthening the frame, effectually keeps the line from
wearing through the lappings.
Fig. 2. is a side view of the above guide but showing the palms around which is
bound the lappings.
Fig. 3. shews the top view & shape of the snake ring with distance piece.
Fig. 4. is a side view of the snake ring with a distance piece B of wood or other
material which is secured to the frame by means of riveted or screwed pin F.
Fig. 5. is also a side view of snake ring with a distance piece having a small
palm G at either side & is held in position by the larger palms or wrappings.
This view also shows the corrugated palm, D being corrugation, the wrappings
being between corrugations.
Having thus particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
-―
1st. The improvements in rod rings or guides by means of a guide or distance
piece between the rod & line substantially as & for the purpose herein before
described & illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2nd. The improved methods whereby the snake ring is made to guide the line in
such a manner that the lappings cannot possibly be destroyed as heretofore, & for
the purposes herein-before described & illustrated on accompanying drawing.

A Toe Rest or Support for Wood Lasts.
We, JAMES BRANCH, of 19, 21 and 23, Bethnal Green Road, in the County of
London, Boot and Shoe Manufacturer, and THOMAS WEEKS, Manager to the said
James Branch, and WILLIAM CHARLES FROST, Foreman, both of Artizan Road,
Northampton, in the County of Northampton, 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 rest or support for wood lasts used in the manufacture
of what are known as combination boots and shoes, that is to say, boots and shoes
made partly by machinery and partly by hand for preventing the breaking of the
lasts when hammering upon the same, and our improvements have for object to
provide a rest or support which is adjustable both as regards height and angle so
that its surface may conform to the surface of the various lasts in connection
with which it is used and thus afford in all cases a firm bearing and which,
at the same time, will allow of the rest being folded down out of the way when not
in use.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the rest or supporting device shewn in conjunction
with a last having a boot thereon; and,
Figures 2 and 3 are respectively an end elevation and plan of the device:
Figure 4 is a view of the supporting part proper (hereinafter referred to as the
saddle).
a indicates the saddle which is hollowed out to approximately correspond with
the contour of the part of the last which is at rest upon it. This saddle, as shewn,
is pivotted to the upper end of a bar in such a manner that its angle may be
adjusted, and the said bar is pivotted at its lower end to a base plate e so that the
said bar may be moved to raise or lower the saddle relatively to the said base
plate.
In order that the said bar and consequently also the saddle a may be adjusted
at any desired height, I pivot to the bar a strut d, the lower end of which is
suitably shaped to engage with either one of a series of notches or teeth e formed in
the base plate c.
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. last or support having a saddle which is adjustable both as to height and
angle, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved last rest or support hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Human Face.
I, WILLIAM GEORGE JOHNSON, of 7 Old Bond Street, Middlesex, Surgical
Appliances 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 object, the manufacture and employment of a framed or
moulded mask or shell of fine thin india rubber, or it may be of gold beater skin,
glove kid, or other leather or substance, or a compound which can be spread or
moulded to shape, and by warmth be capable of adjusting itself to the contour of
the face to which it has to be applied, for the purpose of sweating the skin and
pores, to clarify, purify, and bleach, thus rendering the skin soft and delicate, and
the complexion thereby improved.
To persons suffering from certain skin diseases, the unction or ointment, or
medical preparations can be held in place by such a mask and a cure rapidly
effected.
The colour of the mask could be produced to imitate nature, and thus be
undiscernible by a casual observer.
The mask or shell may be shaped as to nearly fit, and by any kind of adhesive
at the edges, or by bands, tapes, or other fasteners, it can be affixed.
The mask is preferably to be worn during sleep without the wearer suffering any
inconvenience therefrom.
The use of the mask by a lady having rough or chafey skin will in a short time
bring about, not ouly a delicate clean and smooth appearance but a youthful one.
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 :-
The manufacture of a mask or shell of thin pliable material capable of fitting
close to the skin when applied, as and for the purpose, or purposes set forth.

Improved Artificial Leather.
I JAMES SADLER of Mistley near Manningtree in the County of Essex
Compressed Leather Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
An improved artificial leather made from leather waste obtained from curriers
and glove makers which being torn into small pieces by a shredding machine is
mixed with Portland cement lime paste and glue. This composition is then made
into sheets and subjected to hydraulic pressure and afterwards treated with
linseed oil.
These sheets when dried form a material almost waterproof which I claim to be
superior in its durability to the artificial leather produced by other combinations-
it is free from the fibrous and vegetable materials incorporated with other productions,
far less costly and simple in its manufacture and more nearly approaching the
character of real hides.

patterns, with the addition of a stud or button b at one end.
One side of the bridge c is dispensed with, thus leaving a free end, which also
terminates in a stud or button d, the side of the stirrup-iron thus left open, being
enclosed by a stout band of india-rubber e.
The stirrup-leather passes as usual through the eye f, and the absence of one of
the sides of the bridge c, does not in any way affect the balance of the stirrup
whilst the india-rubber band e affords the rider a complete control over the stirrup
in mounting and riding under ordinary circumstances.
Should an accident happen in which the rider is unable to free his foot from the
stirrup, the band e will be disengaged from one of the studs b or d, and the foot
will be instantly released, thus rendering impossible, the disastrous accidents which
have frequently resulted from the rider being "dragged" by a runaway horse.
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 improvement in stirrups, consisting in dispensing with one side of the metal
bridge c, and substituting in place thereof, the india-rubber band e, substantially as
and for the purpose described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

A New or Improved Chemical Treatment or Application for Cleaning
Stone, Marble, Granite, and the like.
We, EDWARD LODGE of 35 Cowcliffe Hill, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Teacher
of Dyeing and Chemistry, and FREDERICK JURY of Bradford Road Huddersfield,
aforesaid, Monumental Sculptor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has reference to means to be employed for cleaning stone, marble,
granite, or the like, and this we effect by a new or improved chemical treatment of
or chemical application thereto for cleaning or removing dirt from the surface or
any exposed portions of monuments, statues, or buildings of any kind.
In order to carry out our invention we make a solution of hydrofluoric acid or
fluoric acid of suitable strength according to the amount of dirt to be removed,
which said solution we brush over the surface of the stones, granite, or the like
whether plain or ornamented so that every exposed portion is thus subjected to the
action of the solution which so acts upon the surface of the stone that all dirt
thereon is loosened. On washing over with water the loosened dirt is removed and
the stone, marble, or granite, thus left perfectly clean and having the appearance of
new stone marble or granite.
The application of a solution of hydrofluoric or fluoric acid to monuments,
statues, or the like is easily and quickly performed, and it can be applied to the
most elaborate ornamental work equally as well and with as good a result as in
plainer work.

A communication to me from ERNST LÜDDECKENS, of Liegnitz, in the Empire
of Germany, Doctor.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for its object to give a better support upon the nose and for
the hand, than in opera or field glasses as ordinarily heretofore made.
The accompanying drawing is in illustration of the invention, Figure 1 being a
side view, Figure 2 a longitudinal section, and Figure 3 a transverse section.
In order to put the invention in operation, lateral extensions or supports bare
made upon each side of the plate a which connects the small or moveable end of
the glasses, and which rests upon the nose of the user, these wider extensions b
preventing the edge of the plate from scratching the nose.
The plate which connects together the smaller ends of the outer tubes d of the
glasses, is also provided at the centre on both sides with wider extensions or
supports e, which serve as supports for the fingers in holding the glasses.
In opera glasses, the same arrangement may also be used on the plate of connecting
the larger or outer ends of the tubes. In field glasses however, it is advisable on
account of the greater distance between the transverse plates c and f which carry
the outer tubes d, to make the supports for the fingers upon the latter themselves.
For this purpose an open elastic inetal ring may be fitted round ench tube, and
the ends of the rings are widened and curved-up to form finger rests e and are
arranged above and below the central adjusting tube g respectively. These rings
may either turn for a short distance upon the tubes, or they may be fixed to the
latter which can themselves turn in their end supporting plates, f, so that the
finger plates or extensions may be brougat nearer to or further from the central
adjusting tube as required (as shewn in Figure 3). This is in order that the
position of the supporting plate for the thumb below the tube, may allow a proper
grip of the finger above the tube, whichever side of the latter is uppermost.
All the supporting plates or extensions described are made upon both sides of the
opera or field glasses, so that either side can be used uppermost.
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 :-
In opera glasses or field glasses, the arrangement of the extensions or sup-
ports b, e, e, on the plates connecting the external tubes, and on separate rings
round the tubes, for the support of the instrument by the nose and fingers, the
finger supports e² being adjustable on the tubes, substantially as described and
shewn.
