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 that class of devices employed for attaching together the
different parts of harness in which a hook is combined with a buckle frame a divided
bail, and a pivoted tongue; and it consists in a special construction of parts by means
of which the pivoted tongue is adapted to form the hook portion of the device, as will
be fully described hereinafter.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a front view, a view of the buckle hook alone.
Figure 2 an edge view of the same with the tongue in its closed position.
Figure 3 an edge view of the same with the tongue in its open position.

Figure 5 a perspective view of the buckle hook with the end of the trace in
position.
Figure 6 a perspective view of the buckle hook as applied to one of the hames of a
harness for the purpose of holding the end of the trace.
To enable others skilled in the art to make my improved buckle hook, I will proceed
to describe fully the construction of the same.

page_text: tongue is so bent that the portion adjacent to the pivot bearing forms a hook, which
is adapted to engage with any proper base portion of the harness, such as the ring 5
of the hames, as shewn in Figure 6.
6 represents the end of the trace.
By means of this special form of buckle hook the trace may be attached directly to
the harness, as shown in Figure 6.
The construction of the harness is thus greatly simplified and the cost materially
reduced.

EDWIN SLATTER and GEORGE SLATTER 6 Carlton Street and 7 Warser Gate
Nottingham Outfitters. We do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVING THE FIT OF SHIRT FRONTS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
Our invention has reference to a complete shirt made with a front as worn by
gentlemen.
As is well known the front of such shirts is liable to bulge and become creased in
adjusting itself to the figure of the body, to the inconvenience of the wearer.
The object of our invention in such shirts is, so to form them that the front shall fit
the natural figure, and shall keep perfectly smooth & level without bulging or creasing.
Such being the nature and object of our invention, we will now proceed to show
how it may be brought about.
We propose as shown in Figure 1 to slightly curve the edge A B and take out the
portions D. E. and F. G. I. B. K. and bring together the sides of these portions
treating the other side of the front in the same way. Or as shown in figure II and III,
to leave the front edge straight and take out the portions D. E. F and G. H. L. B. K.
which vary in size according to the figure to be fitted, and bring the sides of these
portions together, treating the other side of the front in the same way; the object in
each case is to give to the front of the shirt about the line M. the roundness and fulness
of the natural figure.
In figures II and III the edges A. B. in front may be permanently fastened
together so that the shirt may open at the back.

page_text: Figure 4 shows the shirt completed by method illustrated in figure 1.
Figure V shows the shirt completed by method illustrated in figure II.
Figure V1 shows the shirt completed by method illustrated in figure III.
By these means shirts made as herein showed and described will be perfectly smooth
and level without bulging or creasing.
Having now particularly 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
The manufacture of shirts in the manner substantially as herein showed and described
whereby the front is preserved from bulging and creasing.

page_text: I WILLIAM CHESTERMAN of Bow Works Sheffield in the County of York
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 :-
My invention relates to the construction and mounting of the handle and barrel
for winding a measuring tape as I will describe referring to the accompanying
Drawings.
Fig. 1 is a section of the central part of a tape measure and Fig. 2 is an elevation
of the barrel and handle.
Both these figures are drawn to an enlarged scale in order more clearly to shew the
construction of the parts.
The barrel A is made with a shoulder at a with a projecting lip which enters and
fits a hole in one of the side plates B. The other side plate C is made with a central
boss c in which is a hole to receive the end of the central screw D. The handle E is
jointed (so that it can fold down in the usual way) to a cover disc F, in the centre of
which is a countersunk hole to receive the head of the screw D, which is threaded for
some distance under the head to screw into the cross bar G forming part of the end
of the barrel A. The barrel A is placed between the side plates B and C before they
are fastened together at their outer edges, and it is held in its place by its lip and
shoulder at a fitting to the plate B. The looped end of the tape H being introduced
in the gap of the barrel A so that the loop presents itself near the centre, the cover
dise F is put on with the screw D passing through the loop, and the screw being then

page_text: screwed up holds the cover disc F and the barrel A firmly together. Studs of pro-
jecting inwardly from the cover disc F enter holes in the cross bar G and constitute
drivers whereby the handle causes the barrel to turn.
Having now particularly. described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :—
The use of handle and barrel for a measuring tape constructed and mounted as
herein described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.

screw driver operated in the usual slot e³.
By this means I am able to dispense with the usual raised and screwed boss on the
part D which greatly simplifies the construction and cheapens the cost indeed when
so desired the part D may be entirely dispensed with and the screw E put direct into
the blind when the square shoulder acts instead of the washer plate D. Figure 1
shews the window and blind B fitted with the cord holder consisting of the three
parts namely washer plate D screw E and ferrule or cup H but if two parts only.
now used the plate D would not be seen.
It will be evident that the part E may be used for many useful purposes where it
would become first a foundation attachment by the use of a common screw driven the
enlarged outside screwed head afterwards becoming the medium by which a second
part could be attached by means of any such female plates or other devices as shewn
by Figures 9 and 10. Ornament may thus be attached to walls or other objects and
indeed any two parts so united together.
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 -
1st. The improvements in cord holders for blinds and other similar purposes
consisting of the combination of a plate D with the double screw E and cup H or of
the double screw E alone with the cup H substantially as herein set forth.
2nd. The screw E having an enlarged or swelled head cut outside with the thread e²
for forming the foundation for the reception of various articles by means of a férrule
nut or screw plate substantially as herein set forth.

page_text: 1, EDWARD ALFRED COWPER, of No. 6 Great George Street, Westminster, in the
County of Middlesex, Consulting 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 :-
My invention relates to a construction of the plates used in filter presses for sewage
sludge and other purposes.
Such plates have hitherto been usually constructed of cast iron, necessitating
considerable thickness of metal for the sake of strength; which thickness is highly
objectionable on account of the weight of the plates, and the space occupied by them.
Flat plates of rolled metal have also been used, alternating with rings to form the
filtering compartments, but such plates have given unsatisfactory results on account
of their want of rigidity and power to resist unequal pressures; and their liability to
warp.
According to my present invention, I use thin plates preferably of mild steel, and I
impart to them great stiffness and rigidity by making them of a slightly domed,
conical, or conoidal form. The effect of the bellying is to impart a stiffness
similar to that of the well known "buckle-plates." The plates being cut or punched
from rolled sheets of iron or steel, the shaping may be produced by pressing the plate
between dies or moulds in a hydraulic press, or by other known methods. I prefer
to make the plate with a flat portion next its edge where the joint is made.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I hereby declare that I make no general
claim to the use of cast iron plates for filter presses made dished with their middle
parts flat, but what I claim is :-
The construction and use for a filter press of steel or wrought iron plates domed,
conical, or conoidal, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

Gateshead in the County of Durham, Ironfounder, 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 Improvements in the ventilating of mines by which
improvements being used, mines are cleared of all explosive gases, and inflammable
dust, thereby leaving the mine, in a perfect state of ventilation and safety.
In ventilating mines according to our Invention we use pipes, tubes, or other conduits
of suitable size and material and which are carried down the shaft to the workings
from bank or otherwise. From the pipes, tubes, or other conduits, branches, are led
away to every part of the workings of the mine, each branch being provided with
unions, for lengthening to keep them up to the face, as the workings proceed, and also
provided with suitable means for regulating the supply of fresh air. Through these
pipes, tubes, or other conduits, and branches fresh air, is conveyed or forced by fan
or otherwise to the face of all the workings; the fresh air will then force its way
back through the mine, carrying with it, all inflammable dust, explosive gases, and
other dangerous compounds, that may be in the mine, to the Return, or Upcast Shaft,
or Shafts, thereby clearing the workings of all dangerous elements, and leaving the
mine, in a perfect state of ventilation and safety. By using these Improvements,
in ventilating mines, according to our Invention, there is no bratticing required,
bratticing being liable to accident from falls of roof which has often caused much
loss to life and property.
Having now particularly 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 :-
The conveying or forcing of fresh air to the most remote parts of the mine, through
pipes, tubes, or other conduits, and branches which are carried through the mine to
the face of the workings, the fresh air will then force its way back through the mine,
carrying with it all inflammable dust, explosive gases, and dangerous compounds, to
the Return, or Upcast Shaft, or Shafts.

2. It can prevent the hair falling off.
3. It can both remove and prevent, scurf, dandriff, and other analogous abnormal
growths upon the scalp.
4. It is capable of preserving the hair in a healthy condition; and, as a consequence
of this quality, of preventing the hair sinking into that senile condition known as
premature greyness.
5. It is capable of keeping the scalp in a perfectly healthy condition in spite of the
various and varying influences, either internal or external, exerted upon; it either by
care, mental labour, a close and hot atmosphere, or a climate in strong contrast to
that in which the particular individual whose crinicultural interests are concerned,
and his ancestors were horn and bred.
6. In addition to the properties as above set forth my invention is also capable of
fortifying the nerves of the head against unsanitary external influences, and therefore
removing and preventing, for instance, such harassing ailments as the unhappily too
well known headache.
The invention consists in a combination or mixture of apple juice and alcohol.
The relative proportions in which the said ingredients should be mixed are as
follows:-

page_text: conditions of the particular case to be treated, for it is obvious that as the causes of
premature senility in respect of the hair vary; so also may it be necessary to vary the
composition of the preventive or curative agent. But the proportion I have specified
above is the one which I find to be the best.
Any scent may be added to the preparation above described according to the fancy
of either vendor or purchaser.
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 mixture of apple juice and alcohol substantially as hereinbefore described.

A New or Improved Aerated Beverage for Invalid and other Uses.
I ARTHUR JOHN MONKLEY LYLE of 19 Sussex Avenue Ashford in the County of
Kent Mineral Water 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 following is the description and mode of manufacture of my new or improved
aerated beverage for invalid or other purposes or uses.
This beverage is composed of the following ingredients advantageously in the
following proportions:-
Five grains Bi-carbonate of Soda (finest quality is desirable).
Two ounces five drachms Best pure fresh milk.
Three ounces three drachms of aerated water to be bottled at a pressure of about
60 lbs. per cubic inch.
The above ingredients to every bottle capable of containing about 6 ounces of the
Beverage.
These quantities can of course be altered to suit any Patient's or Person's palate.
The mode of manufacture is as follows:-
First charge the hopper of the generator with whiting and water according to the
size of the generator-The whiting to be reduced to a liquid and all air expelled, then
allow this charge to enter the generator-Fill the acid tank, which is self acting, with
Sulphuric acid (McEwen's Patent Generator and Gasometer may advantageously be
used) this is then connected with a Soda water machine and the machine started
until the requisite gas pressure is obtained-then supply water to the machine and
thoroughly agitate it until blended with the gas. The aerated water is now ready for
bottling-off with the ingredients-the bottles being previously got ready by first
putting in the Bicarbonate of soda and adding the milk in, or in about, the proportions
hereinbefore mentioned-The aerated water is now introduced by means of any
suitable Bottling Machine at a pressure of 50 lbs. per cubic inch about 10 lbs. aerated
vater being expended in excluding atmospheric air from the bottle. When the
bottle is sufficiently filled, cork and wire very carefully. The manufacture is then
complete.

page_text: I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the above process of
manufacture as other suitable modes of manufacturing the aerated water may be used
if desired.
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 new or improved beverage consisting of the hereinbefore described ingredients
bottled and mixed together in the manner and proportions substantially as set forth.

I, FRANCIS BEAUCHAMP of High Cross Tottenham in the County of Middlesex
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in Bottles and like Vessels for the purpose of retaining the Sediment
apart from the liquid in Bottles or such like vessels For this purpose I provide a
parallel tube of any suitable material, fixed in a convenient part of the neck of a
bottle or vessel or a groove made in such like bottle or Vessel when manufactured so
as to form a chamber for the purpose of retaining the Sediment or crust apart from
the liquid Another method for forming a chamber for retaining the Sediment in
bottles and the like consists in a cone shaped piece fixed or made in the lower part of
the bottle or vessel tapering downwards with a hole in the centre at a convenient
distance to meet the reversed cone or raised shaped bottom of the ordinary shaped
bottle or any other shaped vessel thus allowing space for the sediment or other thick
substance to pass through into the chamber formed by the cone shaped piece and the
bottom of the bottle.
This method can be applied to any part of the cavity by a ledge groove or chaniber
conveniently arranged for the above purposes.

page_text: I, WILLIAM BUTLER of West Hill Terrace, Chapeltown near Leeds in the County
of York, Clothier and Outfitter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to prevent boots and shoes cracking or spliting at
the back of the uppers above the "stiffening"; and for this purpose I employ cow or
other hide in a green or cured state, but not tanned.
The hide for this purpose is cut in strips of about half an inch wide, and shaped to
suit the back of the upper so as not to be unsightly or uncomfortable.
This hide piece is inserted between the lining and the upper, extending from the
top to the bottom thereof, and sewn there.
By the application of this strip of hide the back of the boot is made much stronger,
but not too stiff to cause it to be uncomfortable to the wearer, preventing thereby the
upper from becoming torn or split at the back.
