COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Stamping Coloured Impressions.
I, EDUARD AUGUST WILHELM WOLTER, of 16 Prinzessinnen Strasse, Berlin,
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved method of stamping out coloured
impressions such as names and ornaments on book covers, photographic cards,
cartoons, and fancy papers.
Hitherto stamps, having gold or other metal leaf or paint for producing the
colours, have been used.
My invention differs from the old method:-where, either a piece of gold or
other leaf was laid on the article to be stamped and then pressed with a heated
stamp, or the stamp itself was rubbed over with paint-in so far as the coloured
matter is secured to a transferring medium which is then pressed on the article
by means of a heated stamp. When being stamped the coloured matter leaves
the transferring medium and adheres to the article.
The best transferring medium is well glued and cream-laid paper on which the
colouring matter is spread evenly. The colouring matter for "white" letters etc.
is, preferably, made by thoroughly mixing zinc-white, sulphate of baryta or white.
lead, (such as Krems-white, Venetian-white, Hamburg-white or Dutch-white) with
about 1000 parts in weight of water, 6 parts gelatine and 60 parts glycerine. The
amount of the latter may be altered to suit the dampness of the atmosphere.
Other colours may be made by the addition of carmine, Prussian blue etc.
After the paper is evenly coated with the paint on one side only, and dried it is
ready for use.
The application of the prepared medium is exactly similar to that of gold or
other leaf viz.-The coloured surface of the paper is laid on the article to be
stamped and is then pressed by a heated stamp. The heating of the stamp is
necessary, as, without being heated, the paint would neither leave the paper nor
stick to the article.
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 method of stamping coloured impressions wherein a transferring medium,
which may be well glued and cream laid paper, is used the paint being transferred
from the medium to the article by means of a heated stamp, substantially as
hereinbefore set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New Form of Suspender or Bag for the Support of the
Scrotum.
We, ARTHUR WILLIAM DOWN, and HUBERT VINCENT DOWN, both of
Nos. 5 and 7 St. Thomas's Street Borough in the County of London trading
together in partnership as Surgical Instrument Manufacturers under the style or
firm of "Down Bros. " 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 subject of our invention is a new form of suspender or bag for the support
of the scrotum.
In the drawing accompanying this Specification
Figure 1 is a side view of the suspender and Figure 2 a front view of the same
"A" being the bag, perforated as shown, "B." "B" the straps and "C" "C" the
points where the straps are secured by means of ordinary studs.
Our method is to construct a suspender of the ordinary shape with straps
attached.
The whole is made of indiarubber, the bag is perforated, also the straps to enable
one to be secured to the other by means of an ordinary stud. The bag may also be
made of canvas or other material but covered on both sides with indiarubber.
The advantages of this are as follows the suspender can easily be washed and
rendered perfectly clean, and aseptic a prime necessity in cases of disease or during
the application of medicaments. It is suitable for all purposes where the scrotum
requires support and by reason of the resilience of the indiarubber affords an elastic
support which is highly advantageous in cases of hernia, varicocele, and other
conditions of the scrotum. The perforation of the bag serves also to give free vent
for perspiration.
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 use of indiarubber for the purpose of making a suspender or bag for the
support of the scrotum.

New or Improved Imitation Faience Tiles or the like.
I, HERMENEGILDO MIRALLES Y ANGLÉS, Rue de Bailen 59, Barcelona,
Spain, Lithographer, 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 consists in imitation tiles to be used in place of porcelain fayence
or other tiles for wall decoration and like purposes, the said imitation tiles having
the same size and general aspect as the ordinary tiles in the same designs, colours
and lustre, but made of paper or card cut to the proper size and printed or
lithographed and stuck on a backing of pasteboard, wood, sheet metal or other
backing, not clay, suitable for giving them the necessary strength. If relief is
desired it may be effected in any suitable way so that the imitation tiles may not
differ in appearance from those which they are desired to resemble. They are
covered with a suitable transparent varnish.
In manufacturing the improved tiles the designs chosen are printed, lithographed
or phototyped onto paper, thin or thick, or onto card either previously cut to
size or in sheets to be afterwards cut up. Where the impression is made direct on
thick card or on metal sheets, the usual care necessary in these classes of
printing must be employed.
If the printed paper or card is attached onto a backing this may be done with
glue or any suitable adhesive, pasteboard being the backing preferred.
The imitation may then be embossed by any suitable embossing machinery to
give the appearance of relief.
The last operation is varnishing for which coach varnish or any other varnish
provided it is transparent may be employed. The varnishing is done in the usual
manner of applying such varnish and according to the effect desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The imitation tiles made of the same shapes sizes designs and colouring as
fayence or other tiles, by process of printing by lithography or otherwise on paper or
card fastened upon a backing of suitable material other than clay and varnished as
herein set forth

An Improved Tea Cosey.
ALEXANDER BLACK FERGUSON and ROBERT JOHN KEY of 42 Stamford
Street London S.E. Designers and Manufacturers of Art Needlework 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 an improved tea cosey. Hitherto tea cosies have been
made, with an opening at the base to allow them to fit over the tea pot. In this
invention the tea pot is placed inside, and rests on the bottom of the cosey. The
sides of the cosey are then closed together over the teapot, and fixed by means of a
clasp or clasps.
The materials used are, a frame of metal or other hard substance opening and
closing on hinges and extending along the sides and top of the cosey. The
frame (A) is fixed to the bottom of the cosey (C) by means of a plate (B)
extending from the hinges of the frame. The fabric used is fixed to the frame and
the bottom of the cosey, thus making the cosey entirely closed all round. The
complete closing of the cosey enable the heat of the teapot to be sustained more
thoroughly and for a longer period than in the partially open cosis hitherto
made.
In cosies previously made it has been necessary to lift the cosy off the teapot ;
in this improvement it is not required to raise the cosey from the table, as the
teapot is lifted out, from the inside of the cosey.
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. That this cosey opens from the top & sides; it is therefore easier to manipulate
than any cosies previously made, and it does not require to be lifted from the
table.

circular plate, or small turntable marked (6) on which the teapot kettle, coffeepot,
or any other similar article is placed, the said circular plate or turntable (6) is con-
structed with a centre peg marked (9) which fits into stand, or base (a) at point
marked (c), and so allows the teapot, coffeepot, kettle or any other similar article
to revolve when required. We also construct our teapot, kettle, coffeepot, or any
other similar article in such a way, that it may be hinged in a suitable manner on
to the circular plate or turntable (6,), thereby allowing it to be tilted forward when
the liquid is required to be poured out, so that with our improvements the teapot,
kettle, or any other similar article, may be either tilted forward to allow the
pouring out of the tea, or any other liquid, or, it may be turned, or revolved,
without moving the staud or base, our object being to save the trouble of holding
up the teapot or kettle, and also to save moving the cups or glasses.
Having now described and ascertained the nature of our said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1st. The turning or revolving of the teapot, kettle, coffeepot, or other similar
articles in a stand.
2nd. The improvements hereinbefore described, and illustrated, in the accom-
panying drawings substantially as shewn.

A New or Improved Glove.
I, WILHELM FERDINAND PETER, Merchant, of Tumerstrasse 36, Chemnitz, in
the Kingdom of Saxony, 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 glove which facilitates swimming and floating on the
water.
For this purpose the glove is provided between the fingers with flexible
sheets or films, preferably of waterproof or repellent material and similar to
those possessed by aquatic birds, so as to increase the resistance to the water
in a direction perpendicular to the palm of the open
hand.
To prevent the interior of the glove from being filled with water, or to fasten
the glove, the latter is hermetically closed at the mouth or wrist end, by means of
an elastic band, which need only surround a part of the wrist, and may be provide
with button holes. Instead of an elastic band, other suitable devices may Le
employed for excluding the water or for fastening the glove.
The accompanying drawings show an example of a glove embodying my
invention,
Fig. 1 being a back elevation and Fig. 2 a front elevation of a glove, in which
the fingers are joined close together.
Fig. 3 is a section along line R-R of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the glove, when the fingers are stretched apart.
Fig. 5 is a section along line S-S of Fig. 4.
A indicates the body of the glove, B, the elastic wrist band, indicates the
flexible films-or sheets placed between the fingers of the glove and fixed to or
made in one piece with the same, said films being made of light water repellent
material and of such a shape and size, that each of them forms a plane surface
extending between adjoining fingers from the base to the tip of the same, when the
hand is fully spread out. When the fingers are joined together, the said films form
folds, like a fan as shown in Fig. 2. k, k indicate button holes formed in the elastic
wristband.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is ;-
A glove provided between the fingers with flexible films or sheets and at
the wrist or mouth with an elastic band or other suitable device adapted to exclude
the water, or to fasten the glove substantially as described and for the purposes
specified.

The back or cone shaped piece B being bevilled, at a sharp angle to form a brace
to resist in any direction the strain or weight on the tension cord likewise to force
the cord tight up to knob or front piece C being hollowed out on the back side to
receive the cord with a hole through the centre of each piece to receive either a
common screw D or one with a hook attached E to hang the slack cord on or one
with the knob attached to the front as F the screws when turned up forming a
fixing for the whole as shown.
I purpose making the sides of cones either round square or octagon and the front
piece to receive decorated porclain or glass if required.
The larger sizes I purpose making with a bolt and nut to fix on sides of railway
waggons &c.
The way by which the cord is secured is as follows.
Bring the cord round the holder passing the slack end in front of the strained
cord between the hollow backed head.
The strained cord being kept tight to the front by the cone shaped back piece
forces the slack cord in the hollow at back of head thereby forming a secure grip
and holdfast for the cord.

Improvements in Triple Expansion Engines.
We, CHARLES JOHN GALLOWAY, and JOHN HENRY BECKWITH, both of
Knott Mill Iron Works, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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 :-
This invention relates to a simple and compact construction and arrangement of
a triple expansion engine of the type known as "the superposed compound engine,"
in which the high pressure cylinder is placed above the low pressure cylinder at an
inclination such that its axis is in line with the centre of the crank shaft. The
accompanying drawings shew an engine according to this invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan.
It is
A is the first cylinder supplied with high pressure steam from the boiler.
situated over the air pump and condenser D in line with the second or middle
cylinder B which is situated above the third or final cylinder C.
The common axis of the two cylinders A and B is inclined so as to meet the
centre of the crank shaft E, and as shewn in Fig. 2, this axis is not vertically above
the axis of C but sufficiently to the one side to allow of the eyes of the two con-
necting rods F from the upper piston rods and G from the lower piston rod, to be
accomodated side by side on the one crank pin e.
The slide valves of the cylinders A. B and C are of known construction worked
from eccentrics H and I on the crank shaft E subject to the control of a
governor K.
The cylinders A and B may be transposed, the high pressure cylinder A being
placed over the third cylinder C, with the intermediate cylinder B behind it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we hereby declare that we
make no general claim to the arrangement of a single high pressure cylinder of a
compound engine above the low pressure cylinder with its axis inclined but what
we claim is :-
A superposed triple expansion engine having the first or high pressure cylinder
and the second or intermediate cylinder arranged in line with their common axis
inclined to meet the centre of the crank shaft, and situated above the third or low
pressure cylinder the axis of which is also directed to the centre of the crank shaft,
substantially as herein described.

Improvements in the Saddles or Seats of Bicycles and other
Velocipedes and Road Vehicles.
I, EDMUND WOODS, 5 Dexter Street, Derby in the County of Derby, Stationer
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 apply a pneumatic cushion or bag under the
seats of bicycles and other velocipedes and road vehicles to take the place of metal
springs and to thus reduce to a minimum the vibration experienced when riding the
said bicycles or other velocipedes &c.
As usually constructed bicycle seats or saddles have metal springs under the front
and hind or after part of the saddle. I propose to do away with the latter and
substitute a pneumatic bag or cushion capable of being inflated and composed of
any suitable materials and in any form best calculated to withstand such inflation.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings and to the figures and letters
of reference marked thereon.
Figure is a side elevation and Figure 2 is a back elevation shewing the
application of my invention to an ordinary cycle saddle.
In place of the after or back springs I fix or place a bag or other receptacle A
to be filled with air fed through the nozzle B in the side thereof in the manner
usually adopted for inflating articles and being fitted with a valve for preventing
the egress of the air: the said bag or receptacle is placed between two cups C, C
fixed to the upper and lower framework under the saddle seat.
It is evident that I may place more than one bag or inflated air cushion under
the saddle and between the framework thereof and I may form them of any suitable
shape for the purpose and apply my invention to cycle saddles or scats of any
form and to the seats of other road vehicles for the purpose of minimising the
vibration.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what.
I claim is : :-
The use of an inflated air bag or bags, cushion or cushions in any form, number
and position under a cycle seat or saddle or that of any other road vehicle for
which it may be applicable, adapted and placed in any form and position best
calculated to minimise the vibration experienced by the rider, substantially as
herein described and as illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings.

A Method of and Means for Rendering Leather and Leather Goods Waterproof and more Durable.

A Method of and Means for Rendering Leather and Leather Goods
Waterproof and more Durable.
I FREDERICK RIEGERT of 519 Francis Street, St. Joseph, Missouri, United
States of America, Shoemaker, 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 that is to say —
My invention is connected with a composition which has for its object to render
leathers and leather goods waterproof and more durable.
The operation is as follows: put into a vessel which can be closed, 5 parts of
yellow wax and I dissolve the same at a temperature of about 85 to 90 degrees
centigrade. I then add 2 parts of turpentine spirit, benzine or any other essence
or spirit capable of dissolving wax.
I maintain the indicated temperature until the wax is dissolved and by preference
I use steam heat.
When the solution is ready I take the leather intended to be waterproofed and
plunge it into the solution wherein the leather is allowed to remain from 10 to 15
minutes according to the thickness of the leather. I then take out the leather and
put it under a press, or I pass it between rollers, or otherwise subject it to pressure
or I beat it with hammers or subject it to a beating process.
This operation has the effect of closing the pores, and leather subjected to this
treatment becomes waterproof, more supple and much more durable.
If a black finish is desired, as for example for soles or sole leather the bottom of
the soles must be blackened and allowed to dry before putting them into the com-
position, or the bottoms of the soles may also be browned. Well finished and
bright bottoms are thus obtained as the preparation contains no fatty matter.
Harness leather thus treated becomes much brighter and it is always easy to
keep it bright by rubbing it with a rag of any kind.
In order to make boots and shoes water-tight the insole is treated with the
composition until the pores are well closed. After the upper which has been made
suitably water tight has been stitched to the insole a coating of the composition is
spread all over with a brush so as to close the seams and any holes left by
the pegs.
Boots and shoes so treated are perfectly water-proof and much more durable and
at the same time they always retain their suppleness.
I apply my invention in the treatment of all descriptions of leather such as sole
and harness leather and other leather which it is desirable to render water-proof
and of boots and shoes and leather goods.
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 composition and process for waterproofing or treating sole leather, harness
leathers, or similar leathers and leather goods substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Wheels.
ISAAC THOMPSON of 33 Newington Butts, in the County of Surrey,
Perambulator 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 this invention is to so construct wheels that rubber tires can be
quickly and easily fitted thereto and without the aid of expert mechanical
assistance.
In carrying this invention into practice I make wheels in two sections and
secure the two sections together by means of bolts or by other fastening means.
The wheels are double flanged, one section is made in the form of a single flange
wheel and the other section is annular, or ring shaped, and when secured in position
forms the other flange of the wheel. The rubber tire is placed on the single flange
wheel and the ring flange is then secured in position and the tire thus gripped
between the two flanges.
The accompanying drawings shew one form of wheel made in accordance with
my invention and having a rubber tire fitted thereto.
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 is a vertical section.
A is the single flange wheel, B is the rubber tire, and C is an annular recess.
into which the shoulder D on the ring flange E fits.
In the drawings, the inner portion of the ring flange E is shewn as made in a
plane parallel with its exterior portion, but this is not essential, the whole of the
ring flange may be made in one plane if so desired. F F are lugs on the ring
flange which preferably correspond in number with the radial arms or spokes G
of the wheels. These lugs are provided with bolt, rivet, or other holes which
coincide with similar holes made in the radial arms or spokes, or with screwed
studs fixed thereto. Or other means may be adopted for securing the ring flange E
to the arms or spokes G of the wheel.
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 manufacture and use of double flanged wheels, of which one flange is
annular or ring shaped, and is secured to the other section of the wheel, so as to
be removable therefrom, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

name of the article .or suggestive pictures or illustrations may be made, by litho-
graphy embossing, cutting out or other process, the uses or price of the goods to
which the price ticket refers being indicated on the same card, ticket or tablet.
For example a representation of a tablet of soap is produced as above and the
utility or price of other goods to which the price ticket refers, can be conveniently
indicated on the same card or tablet. One of the advantages of this invention is
that it will enable manufacturers to issue facsimile reproductions or illustrations of
their manufactures, which may be used as price tickets for other goods.

WILLIAM HERBERT WILKS 313 Ladypool Road Sparkbrook Birmingham
Jewellers Manager do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention takes the form of a tapered tube made in either galvanised iron,
zinc or other metals, it is perforated (so as to allow access to the bait contained
inside) to the various pests which the gardener or florist has to contend with I am
informed by authorities in the matter that at the present time, there is nothing
whatever before the public to answer the desired purpose, the only practice now in
observance being to insert the bait itself, beneath the soil, without any mechanical
appliance being resorted to facilitate the required result, I claim for my invention
that while using the universally acknowledged bait, my trap from its particular
shape is easily pushed into the ground & likewise as easily taken out, which is of
quite as much importance as it considerably reduces the chances of escape of the
wireworm or slug which I contend it will snare.
