I ROBERT STOREY of 17 William Street, Whessoe Lane, in the County of Durham,
Foreman Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
I will describe my invention as a double wedge boring-bar revolving on its axis, to
which are attached two taper wedges on either side of the bar which are placed along
the length of the bar in a line with its axis and which fit the bar for boring at any
angle. The tool is placed in a block which travels the length of the wedges and
any taper can be used in the wedges according to the angle which it is desired to
produce in the hole which is to be bored. The wedges are placed on either side of
the bar and can be used for tapering to the right hand or to the left hand by placing
the tool on the right or left hand side of the tool-holder or by reversing the tool-
holder. I give motion to the tool-holder by a screw running up the centre of the
boring-bar, driven by a hall nut and star-wheel. My invention can be applied to any
ordinary boring machine or it can be used in a lathe.

Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for Boring Metals
or other Substances.
I, ROBERT STOREY of Darlington in the County of Durham, Foreman Machinist
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:-
1 will describe my invention as a Double-Wedge Boring Bar A A revolving on its
axis, to which are attached taper wedges, two on either side B, B, as shown in the
accompanying drawings. The first drawing shows the bar in plan. The second
shows a transverse section--and the third shows a longitudinal section. The letters
in all three apply to the same parts. The wedges I employ are moveable taper-
wedges which are placed along the length of the boring-bar in a line with its axis.
These wedges fit the bar for boring at any angle. The tools D, D, are placed in a
block or tool-holder C which travels the length of the wedges B, B, and any tapor
can be used in the wedges according to the angle which it is desired to produce in
the hole which is to be bored. They will taper either to the right hand or to the left.
E is the feed-bar working the tool-holder Calong the length of its bed. The bar is
fixed to the boring or other machines by means of a key and stud. Motion is given
to the cutters by a ball nut running loose on the shaft E, and driven by a star-wheel
and pinion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I claim is
The addition of moveable taper-wedges to a boring-bar. These moveable wedges
may be of any taper provided they are in duplicate and fitted substantially as herein
shown and described.
A novel feature is that I claim to be able to cut a conical hole by the use of the
moveable taper wedges.

Soecification Accepted, 18th Jan., 1887.
I PAUL PFLEIDERER of 86, Upper Ground Street Blackfriars in the County of
Surrey Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention (being a communication
to me from abroad by Dr. Adolf Wolpert of Nürnberg, in Germany, Professor) 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 an apparatus which shall show at a glance
any increase or decrease of the carbonic acid gas present in the air, thereby indicating
at any moment the degree of purity of the air in dwelling rooms or other places.
And the invention consists in the hereinafter described means of utilizing the
bleaching or oxydising action of Carbonic Acid gas upon suitable coloured Alkaline
Solutions, the proportional quantity of the Carbonic Acid Gas being indicated by the
extent of the bleaching action.
In order that the invention may be fully understood I will proceed to describe it
by the aid of the accompanying drawing in which an automatic air testing apparatus
is shown.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
A Glass vessel A open or partially covered, rather shallow and wide in shape
resting on a wall bracket or some other support, is filled with a dilute solution of
soda or some similar alkaline liquid being coloured by preference with Phenol-phtaleïn
or any other suitable known alkali indicator, such coloured solution being protected
against atmospheric influence by a thin layer of mineral oil upon its surface. In the
liquid a float B is placed on which a capillary tube C is fixed at such a height that
D

page_text: at the usual temperature of dwelling rooms, one drop passes through about every
100 seconds. The drops then fall into a small glass funnel D whence they gradually
descend along a piece of white string E about 16" in length which is fixed on the
funnel D, and are collected in the vessel F at the bottom of the string E. In case
of Phenol-phtalein being used, if the air be quite pure the string will be coloured
red throughout; if the air be more or less deteriorated the string will be red only
down to a certain point, leaving the rest white. This mark between distinct red and
white rises the higher the more carbonic acid gas the air contains, and an empirical
scale is provided which commencing at the bottom shows the marks 1 very pure,
2 pure, 3 pure enough, 4 bad, 5 very bad, 6. extremely bad.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, (communicated to me from abroad as
aforesaid) I declare that what I claim is,
An improved apparatus which by the proportion of the carbonic acid gas contained
in the surrounding air is caused to indicate the quality of such air by means of a
liquid made to flow along a string or tape or similar body which liquid has the
property of changing its colour sooner or later by the action of and according to the
quantity of carbonic acid gas present in the air in the manner and for the purpose
substantially as hereinbefore described.

1, WILLIAM HENRY LINDSAY, of 14 South Wharf, Paddington Basin, in the County
of Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
I mix coal dust with lime and size or gum or with lime and sugar or saccharine
matter and compress it into bricks or lumps.
I find blocks of artificial fuel made in this way are less liable to break up or produce
smoke than blocks of artificial fuel made in other ways and are perfectly free from
bitumenous odours and therefore suitable for all household uses as well as for steam
purposes and are clean and dustless.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a pattern, on a twist lace fabric with two partly detached
portions having my improvements applied thereto.
Figure 2, shows an end view of the same looking at the right end of Figure 1.
The cups, bells, flowers, leaves or other portion or portions of a pattern of raised
and partly detached portions of fabric A, A, upon a twist lace ground or net, or
grounds or nets B, shown at Figure 1 made as described in the complete speci-
fication of a former patent granted to me April 7th 1885 numbered 4212 for
Improvements in twist lace fabrics, and apparatus for producing the same, or made
by any other means. When pressed down by carding, packing or other means has
remained in such position, to prevent this I employ artificial flowers, leaves, sprays,
petals, stamens, buds, or other portions of flowers; insects, chenille, or feathers,
C, C, or other ornamenting materials, each formed in the usual way, but having the
lower portion made thicker where required and leaving a short length of wire or
other material for its termination.
One or more such thick parts I insert under each semi-detached portion A A of
the pattern which is required to stand up prominent above the main ground or net,
through the main ground or net I pass the terminating length or lengths of wire
or other material before nained, and secure each in position, either by simply
turning the end of the wire or other material down upon the back of the main
ground or net, or previous to insertion I form the terminal wire or other material
into a loop and secure it in position by stitching at the back, or I secure the same
with gum or other suitable material.
By either method when the lace requires cleaning, or the flowers or other
ornamental added portions require changing, they can be taken out without injury
to either.

page_text: In each case the semi-detached portion or portions of the pattern remain clear
above the main ground or net being held up the height required by the insertion
of the artificial flower or other object before named..
Thus by the combination of the semi-detached portion or portions of the pattern,
with flowers or other added portions, I am enabled to produce novel effects not
heretofore attainable.
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 insertion of artificial flowers or other ornamenting materials under the semi-
detached portions of fabrics made on twist lace machines, substantially as described,
and illustrated in the Drawings annexed.

page_text: Articles through Bakers' Ovens.
We JOHN VICARS THOMAS VICARS and JOHN VICARS the younger all of 29 Seel
Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster Engineers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
In baking biscuits and like articles they are usually conveyed on trays by means
of endless chains through the oven at the required speed. Hitherto the trays have
rested on the conveying chains in such manner that some of the biscuits or articles
to be baked were directly over the said chains, the consequence being that those
biscuits or articles were not acted on by the heat in the same way as the biscuits
or articles carried on those portions of the trays not directly over the chains. In
this way the whole of the biscuits or articles on a tray were not of uniform color,
consistency, or condition after passing through the oven.
The object of our invention is to provide apparatus by which biscuits conveyed
through the oven shall all be equally acted on by heat and be all of uniform quality
as regards baking.
The invention consists essentially in so constructing the chains trays or both that
the carrying portion of the trays shall be entirely located between the chains.
In practice we make the links of the chain with side projections on or by which
the trays may be supported, or the trays are made with carrying pieces to rest on
or be suspended from the links of the chains or both chains and trays are mado
with additional carrying pieces.

page_text: Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, are transverse sections and Fig. 5 a plan of four modifications
of apparatus under our invention. a cross bearers in oven b chain carriers,
c chains & trays or pans. In Fig. 1 the trays have projections e which rest on
the chains. In Fig. 2 the trays are suspended from the chains by hooks f. In
Fig. 3 the chains have projections on which the trays rest. In Fig. 4 the
chains are fitted with hooks h by which the trays are suspended. In Fig. 5 the
chains have projections g on which one end of the trays rest and the other ends
of the trays are provided with projections e which rest on the chains. The
projections and hooks or their equivalents may be formed with or attached to
the trays and chains in any convenient manner such as by forging, rivetting, or
otherwise.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
First. Apparatus for conveying biscuits and like articles through bakers ovens
substantially as set forth.
Second. In bakers ovens the combination with chains and trays of projections

page_text: THOMAS JOICEY, 8 St. Edmunds Place, Gateshead-on-Tyne, Boiler Maker &
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 :-
Fig. 1 is a cross section showing my Patent for Locomotive Type of Boiler.
Fig. 2 is a section through A. B. on Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows my invention as applied to
ordinary Vertical Boilers. Fig. 4 is a section through C. D. on Fig. 3. Fig 5
shews a section of Flame Chamber through E. F. on Fig. 1. The firebox in both
Types may be constructed with one or more Troughs R & with one or more ordinary
conical or parallel cross tubes placed diagonally. Also in some cases I propose to use
bent fire tubes carried from crown of firebox to upper part of combustion chamber
& used conjointly if desired, one or more uptakes may be used in vertical type.
Bottom portion of firebox which is parallel may be corrugated or plain, this design
of firebox provides to a very large extent for expansion & contraction, is easy to repair
& increases the heating surface considerably.
After fire has done its duty in firebox G it passes into inverted cone combustion
chamber H then through two or more down take flues I into the flame chamber J
thon through tubes K. Flame Chamber J can be either a water space chamber or
loose, lined with Fireclay or other non-conducting material & may be carried all
round Shell L if necessary, one or more horizontal Shells L' may be fitted to vertical
Shell L. To secure better combustion I propose fitting a series of small air Tubes M
in Flame Chamber. Boiler Shells L & L are rivetted or bolted together as desired,
water & steam space in Shells L & L are connected by one or more connecting
Pipes N. At bottom of Shell L' is fixed a receiver O which is connected to bottom of
Shell L by means of a circulating Pipe P, thus collecting all sediment & other
injurious matters & giving a thorough circulation of water through Boiler, this
receiver & pipe may or may not be fixed as desired, it will be seen that the inner
Tube Plate Q is entirely removed from any portion of firebox, thus keeping firebox G
& inverted combustion chamber H in a perfect cylindrical form.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
First. Is the general design of Locomotive Type of Boiler. My object is to get
large heating surface in small space, thus saving weight & diminishing diameters
& increased combustion.
Second. The Shells being separate admit of easy transit & especially useful for
underground work in coal & other mines & particularly adapted for marine &
torpedo work.
Third. The adoption of inverted cone combustion chamber with troughs & tubes as
horein described in connection with ordinary Vertical Boilers, substantially as herein
before described & illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ADJUSTABLE BENCH STOPS FOR
JOINERS' AND SIMILAR OTHER ARTISANS' USES, 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 those bench stops that are adjustable, consisting of
improvements therein by the application of appropriate parts, whereby the said
adjustments are greatly facilitated, and in order that the same may be clearly
understood we have hereunto attached a sheet of drawings, illustrative thereof,
bearing letters and figures of reference which are made use of in the following
description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional side view, fig. 2 plan, and fig. 3 a view of the underside of
our improved bench stop and its arrangements of parts; while fig. 4 is a view
similar to fig. 3 but shews a modification thereof.
The stop piece a is made hollow so as to form a suitable stay and guidance for
the spring b which rests on the projecting piece c, cast or otherwise rigidly fixed
to the sleeve d. By the elasticity of the spring b the stop piece a is pushed or
raised with its upper end above the frame e of the sleeve d as much as may be
required as will readily be understood.
However by the eccentric f being brought or turned by the thumb-and-finger
piece g to cause the small lever h to press against and so hold by friction the stop
piece a it will be seen that the said stop piece a can be readily adjusted with its
end to project any required distance, compatible with its length and that of the
spring b, as may be found necessary.
By so arranging the eccentric that it will press directly upon the stop piece a
(see fig. 4), we may dispense with the small lever h, however to ensure better
working we prefer in most cases to retain it.

page_text: 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:—
1. The combination and arrangement in a bench stop of an eccentric and lever
in connection with a stop piece pressed upwards by a spring, used in the manner
and for the purposes fully herein set forth and specified.
2. The use and employment of the eccentric f in combination with the stop
piece a and the spring b substantially as herein described and illustrated.

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 an improved dress adjuster or improver every
part whereof is elastic and which combines perfect ventilation with great comfort
and convenience.
The figures of reference in the following description refer to corresponding
figures on the accompanying drawing.
Such improved dress adjuster consists of a coiled spring wire frame (1) of any
suitable shape and dimensions strengthened with diagonal stays (2) and a
bordering (3). Such stays and bordering are made of three four or more strands
of coiled spring wire according to the size of the dress adjuster so as to impart
strength thereto without diminishing the resiliency thereof-The frame is further
strengthened by side stays (4) made of stout india rubber, whalebone, wire, or
other elastic material wherein or whereon the ends of the various coils composing
the frame are clamped or otherwise secured-Such side stays are sheathed in leather
and covered with any suitable binding so as to protect the ends of the coils and
give an ornamental appearance to the article when finished.
A waist band (5) is fastened to the top of the frame by attachments (6) both
the band and attachments being made of elastic webbing-The front of the dress
adjuster is furnished with two elastic ties (7) placed one on each side by which
the dress adjuster can be adjusted and tied to suit the convenience of the wearer.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that every part of the dress
adjuster is elastic and resilient while the wire frame being without covering admits
of perfect ventilation.
This dress adjuster therefore readily adapts itself to every movement of the
body and preserves the graceful adjustment of the dress while its lightness and
openness greatly promote the health and comfort of the wearer.

page_text: DRAWING.
The accompanying drawing shews a view in perspective of one of my improved
dress adjusters with the leather sheathing and outer covering removed from one
of the side stays to shew one method of fastening the ends of the coiled spring
wires thereto.
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
A flexible ventilating dress adjuster made of coiled spring wire and otherwise
constructed, arranged, combined and fitted all substantially in the manner herein-

on the outside of the building-The same lift may serve more than one house in
fact it would do for as many houses as could by their balconies be brought into
communication with it.
The drawing shows a portion of the face of a building of several stories the lift A
being placed between two contiguous houses the balconies B whereof (of which
there is one to each floor) open on to the lift-Both balconies and lift may be of
ordinary construction excepting that the balconies open to the open well or shaft
in which the lift works suitable doors or gates C being used to close the ends of
the balconies during the absence of the lift. In the drawing the lift is shewn
resting at the lowest balcony whose gates are accordingly open; the gates of the
other balconies are closed. The lift shewn in the drawing is of the hydraulic
column kind, but chain or other lifts may be used.
The importance of this invention in case of fire is self evident and the lift being
placed clear of the windows would escape the flames till the last and thus prove a
sure source of escape to the inhabitants.
This system will be very convenient for children, the aged, invalids etc and in
moderate or hot climates, for instance in the new American towns.
In ports where it is important to live on or near the Quays for business purposes,
no one would hesitate to occupy high rooms where this system is applied.

page_text: The invention may be adapted to existing buildings by adding thereto¯ the
balconies and lift.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
In a dwelling house or other building the combination with an external balcony,
gallery or equivalent of an external lift, substantially as specified.

page_text: We, MAYNES POTTER, Mechanic and WILLIAM VANDIKE GULICK, Carpenter,
both of Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, 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:-
This invention relates to a wrench of simple construction which is easily
manipulated. The invention consists in the elements of construction hereinafter
more fully pointed out.
In the drawings fig. 1 is a sectional side view of the improved wrench. Fig. 2
is a back view of the same, and fig. 3 a top view of the sliding frame.
th
The letter a represents the handle of the wrench. b is the shank of the fixed
jaw c, said shank being provided with teeth along one edge to constitute a rack.
The rack bis embraced by a U-shaped frame d, free to slide thereon. Between
the two parallel pieces of frame & there is pivoted at e the shank of the movable
jaw f
is a dog likewise pivoted between the cheeks of frame d, and having
serrated biting edge to engage rack b. A suitable spring within frame d bears
with its free end against the dog g and tends to hold it against rack b. We prefer
to make the spring of the form shown in the drawing, that is to say, it is
partly bent around two pins i, j, located at opposite sides of the spring.
Below the biting edge of dog g there is a strong pin fitting into a concavity
of the dog. This pin is of importance, in as much as it bears against the dog,
when the wrench is used, and takes a large portion of the strain from the pivot
of the dog.
I is a yoke pivoted to shank b and embracing the shank of the movable jaw to
properly guide the same.
The operation of the wrench is as follows: To open the same, a handle on
dog g is pressed towards the rack b, and thus the dog is released from the rack.
The frame d and movable jaw ƒ may now be slid up the desired extent. After the
work is inserted, the dog is released, and caused to engage rack b by spring h
The movable jaw is now pulled down until the work is tightly clamped between
he jaws.

page_text: 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
1. The combination of rack b, and fixed jaw c, with a sliding frame d, to which
the shank of movable jaw f, is pivoted, and containing dog g, and spring h, and
with yoke, pivoted to rack b, and embracing the shank of jaw f, substantially as
specified.
2. The combination of rack b, fixed jaw c, sliding frame d, movable jaw f, and
dog g, with the spring h, bent around pins i, j, located at opposite sides of the
spring, substantially as specified.
3. The combination of rack b, fixed jaw c, sliding frame d, movable jaw f, and
spring h, with the dog g, pivoted to frame d, and with the pin k, adapted to bear
against the dog, substantially as specified.

Improvements in Date Indicators or Calendars...
1 JOHN JAMES RAGGETT late of Lincoln's Inn, but now of 11 Old Square, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Architect, 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:-
It consists of Improvements in my patent Date Indicator or Calendar No. 9601
A.D. 1884 also of 6710 A.D. 1886.
Its object is to make it more useful and ornamental as follows.
I denote the hours round the months plate by a series of lines or shades of colours,
as indicated in the drawing supplied with patent No. 6710 A. D. 1886.
I also shew the signs of the zodiac preferably between the months and day of week.
These signs may consist of a representation of the actual stars as shewn on the old
globes or by other suitable representations.
In some cases I also propose to shew illustrations representing the four seasons of
the year preferably in the corners.
In some cases I propose to have a magnetized plate so that a magnetized pointer
will stick on without the necessity of drilling holes.
I propose to place the calendar in a frame which frame when circular or of other
suitable shape may serve for the outside circle of characters.
The calendar is especially suited for stained or painted glass, opal or other like
material this however I do not confine myself to.
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 method of denoting the hours as hereinbefore described.
2. The signs of the zodiac or other suitable signs such as signs of the months placed
on a date calendar of this description.
3. The signs of the seasons placed on a date calendar of this description.
4. The magnetized plate and pointer as hereinbefore described.
5. The outside circle of characters being placed on the frame for the purpose of
economising space.

page_text: I JOSEPH BARTON SCAMMELL of 13 Lordship Park Stoke Newington in the
county of Middlesex, Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvement consists in the substitution of asbestos for the materials now
used in making cigarette paper. The short filaments of asbestos which are rejected
by the manufacturer of asbestos cloth &c can be used for the making of paper, by.
treatment in the usual manner of paper making. The advantages would be
Firstly, as the paper would not burn, the pure aroma of the tobacco would be
tasted by the smoker untainted by the taste of burnt paper, which is the objection
to cigarettes as made at present.
Secondly the paper when made from good quality of asbestos would last unbroken
till the cigarette was smoked out, the fine qualities of asbestos would only carbonize
very slightly. Thirdly, as the supplies of asbestos are increasing the paper could
be made very cheaply.

page_text: improvements in the manufacture of Paper for Cigarettes:
I, JOSEPH BARTON SCAMMELL of 13 Lordship Park, Stoke Newington, London N,
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:-
This invention consists in substituting the non-combustible substance known as
asbestos for the usual material usually employed in the manufacture of cigarette
paper. For this purpose the shorter filaments of asbestos are suitable and those
which are rejected by the makers of asbestos cloth will suffice.
They are inexpensive and will therefore enable the paper to be made at a low
price.
5
The mode of manufacturing asbestos paper need not be described as it is well
known and greatly resembles that employed in making ordinary paper. The chief
difference is that a certain proportion of starch or some similar substance is
employed.
The advantages of using asbestos paper as a wrapper or envelope for the tobacco
in Cigarettes are three, viz:-
1. The aroma of the tobacco is not tainted or impaired by admixture with the
odour of burning paper, and
2. A paper prepared from a good quality of asbestos would last unbroken until
the Cigarette had burnt out, as owing to the presence of the asbestos it will
carbonise very slightly.
3. Asbestos paper being more impermeable and less affected by acids, alkalies, or
other chemicals, is well adapted to contain any admixture of medicinal substances
with tobacco suited for application by fumigation to the throat or lungs.
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 employment of asbestos suitably prepared, in the manufacture of paper
for Cigarettes, as herein described.
2. The use of the said asbestos paper for enveloping any mixture of tobacco and a
chemical substances for sanitary or medicinal purposes, which may be useful for
fumigating the throat or lungs.

page_text: I, FRANÇOIS JOSEPH THOMAS, of Hotel des Invalides, Paris, France, "Pharmacien,
Major, de 1r Classe," do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
Danner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to a hygienic serviette or sanitary napkin suitable for the use
of females generally, including parturient women, and children, and designed to absorb
the inenses or other flowing matter, to obviate offensive odour without causing incon-
venience or impeding the movements or walking, and to admit of beneficial ventilation.
It comprises a long and wide woven band a, b, c, d, Fig. 1, of which the side portions
or borders a, b, a², b², and c, d, e³, d, are folded or turned over on to the intermedinte
or main part a, b, c, d, and on to a filling or lining 4, the one being afterwards
attached to the other by means of buttons and button holes.
The band a, b, c, d, comprises two end portions respectively a, e, f, c, and b, g, h, d,
made on the loom, of a supple, elastic, but close texture, and a middle portion e, g, h,f,
connected to the end portions by means of the loom, and itself made on the loom, but
of a fine, supple, and soft texture, with large meshes like those of ganze. Tapes,
ribbons, or bands i, j, are fastened at one end of the band on the portions which are
turned over, and corresponding loops i, j, are fastened to the opposite end, upon the
same parts that are turned over, but at right angles to i and j.
The band or servietto being thus arranged, there is placed on the central portion
ef, h¹, gl, a filling or lining of cotton, tow, flax, or hemp, which may be purified by
the known processes of Weber and Thomas; after which the side portions or borders
are folded over the intermediate or main pari, and so that the edge of one border over-
laps the edge of the other, then they are fastened together, it may be by buttons or
hooks, and the serviette or napkin is then ready for use. It is secured in position on
the body in the manner shown by Figs. 4 & 5.
The bands i, j, situate (like the loops, 1) on the outer surfaces of the parts
provided with the buttons and button holes, are passed through those loops and are

page_text: Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section of the serviette or napkin, and Fig. 3 a cross
section.
It will be seen that the purified fibrous absorbent filling, cotton, tow, hemp, or flax
can be readily replaced, without even entirely unbuttoning the sort of sleeve formed
by the serviette or napkin when closed.
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 :-
The hygienic serviette or sanitary napkin substantially as hereinabove described and
illustrated.
