COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Infants' Comforter or Suction Teat and Food Charge
therefor.
I, FRIEDRICH MITTENZWEI of 41, Bischofsweg, Dresden, in the Kingdom of
Saxony, Confectioner, 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 infants' comforter or suction teat and food
charge therefor and it has for object to avoid the prejudicial effect on the infant's
stomach of sucking the ordinary rubber teat and to more effectually obviate the
risk of the infant swallowing the teat.
The invention consists of a teat charged with a soluble compound which is
beneficial to the health of infants, the teat being perforated to allow of the com-
pound being sucked into the mouth of the infant and provided with a shield
whereby to prevent the teat itself being swallowed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this
Specification, wherein Figure 1 shews a longitudinal section Figure 2 an elevation
and Figure 3 an end view of the article.
a is the teat made of sheet india rubber or other suitable material in the form of
a conical sheath perforated about the point. This conical sheath a is passed
through a broad ring b about which the edge of the sheath is lapped in the manner
shewn so that it will be securely attached, the ring resting against the lips of the
infant and forming a stop or shield to prevent the teat being taken wholly into the
mouth.
In the perforated conical end of the teat is inserted the charge e which I
designate as a food cartridge compounded of the following ingredients :-
500 parts refined sugar
دو
pulverised cacao
fresh cream
500
250
"
125
"
honey
50
"
milk sugar
50
"
15
وو
arrow-root
chemically-pure phosphate of lime.
These ingredients are boiled and constantly stirred in about half-a-pint of water
until a temperature of about 280° Fahrenheit is attained. The mixture is then
cooled upon the cooling slab to about 122° Fahrenheit and rolled to the form
shewn at e.
Having placed the charge in the point of the teat, a plug c of wood or other
substance is inserted behind it to hold it in place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1st. An infant's suction device formed of a conical sheath or teat perforated about
the point and lapped at the open end around the edge of an annular shield, a charge
prepared of the ingredients above specified being inserted in the perforated end
and retained by a plug, substantially as described.

I, ARTHUR RICHARD CHADWELL, of Park Street, Slough Bucks, Plumber, 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 new or improved trousers protector and has for its
object to provide means for preventing the lower extremities of trouser legs
from fraying out through rubbing against the wearer's boots and from similar
causes, a further object being to allow of such protecting means being readily fixed
to or removed from the trouser leg end, without damage to the latter and in order
that the said invention may be the more readily understood, I have made reference
to same in the accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1 is a view of the protector shewn by itself.

extremity thereof, while
Fig. 3 is a side view partly in section of the protector and the manner of
fastening same to the trouser end.
a is the protector, formed of india-rubber, gutta-percha, or similar substance or
material shaped as shewn more particularly in Fig. 1 and provided with perfora-
tions a through which headed split pins are passed, from the outer to the
inner side. The points of these split pins bare first passed through the hem or
turn-up a of the trouser ends and then through the perforations or eyes a¹ with
protector a, collars c then being passed over the points of the said split-pins, which
points are then forced apart and bent back against the outer faces of the collars c
as shewn in Fig. 2.
I do not wish to confine myself strictly to the configuration of the protector
shewn on the drawings, but may vary same slightly if found desirable or convenient.
The protector may also be made double so as to fold up at the bottom and enclose
the end of the trouser leg between its two halves, so that such trouser leg end will
be protected on the outer as well as the inner side.
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. A trouser protector consisting of a strip of india-rubber or other suitable
material shaped to fit the lower extremity of a trouser leg and adapted to be readily
affixed to, or removed from same without damage thereto substantially as described
and shewn and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in or relating to Powders or Preparations for
Producing Custard, Blancmange, and Puddings.
We, WILLIAM CHIVERS, JOHN CHIVERS and STEPHEN CHIVERS trading as
Chivers & Sons of Histon, in the County of Cambridge, Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
to be
This invention relates to preparations usually powders for cooking purposes to
produce custards, puddings, and blancmanges. Hitherto it has been the custom to
make these preparations and sell them in packets or tins, but so far as we have
been able to ascertain these preparations have never been complete in themselves,
whereas in the preparations about to be described it is only necessary to add
the liquid ingredient say milk or water and everything is then ready for producing
the custard pudding or blancmange. Hitherto only the chief ingredients have been
mixed, to the exclusion of the sugar thus necessitating the adding of the sugar
when the custard etc. is being made and opening the door to mistakes in the
proportions and the probable spoiling of the whole of the materials.
We
introduce the sugar and flavouring in their proper proportions with the result above
mentioned. The proportions and even the ingredients may be varied according to
the nature of the pudding custard or blancmange required.
In making a custard we may employ sago flour say 1 cwt., pulverized croci
(powdered Valencia saffron) 3 ozs., sugar 1 cwt., and a flavouring such as lemon,
almond or vanilla essence, say 3 or 4 ozs. The above would form the complete
ingredients for a custard and would only require to be mixed with milk and heated.
For the blancmange the above materials and proportions may be employed
excepting that the proportion of the sago flour may be increased.
.
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 combination in a packet of the complete ingredients in their proper
proportions for a custard pudding or blancmange so that nothing further except
the liquid and heating is required for the production of the said article of diet.
2. A packet containing in their proper proportions the whole of the solid
ingredients including the flavourings for the production of a custard pudding or
blancmange substantially as described.

I, EDWARD CARSTENSEN DE SEGUNDO, of 28 Victoria Street, Westminster, S. W.
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 simple and inexpensive construction of electric switch
which I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, Figs. 2 and 3 are sections on planes at right angles to
each other, the base being in elevation ;
Fig. 4 is a plan with the cover removed.
On a base B of ceramic or other non conducting material is fixed a metal
spring C to which one of the leading wires is fixed by screw D the other wire
being fixed by screw E to a metal plate having a latch end F.
In the middle of the base is a circular recess in which is partly sunk free to
revolve a ring G.
The cover H, which is attached to the base, has a central hole through which a
handle or knob K projects from a disc L having a downwardly projecting crank
pin M which engages in a notch m of the ring G. The spring C is engaged in
another notch c of G, this notch sloping upwards to a higher part 9 of the ring.
When the parts are in the position shewn there is no connection between the
spring C and the latch F, but when by turning the knob K and the crank pin M
engaged in the notch m the ring G is turned, then the spring C is bent as indicated
by the dotted lines in Fig. 4 its end rising over the latch F and snapping down
behind it; the farther movement of the ring G is prevented by a high part of it.
meeting a stop d. In this condition, the spring Cand latch plate F form an
electrical connection between the wires attached to D and E, and the circuit is
thus closed. In order to open the circuit the knob K is turned backwards turning
the ring G backwards so that its sloping part extending from c towards g passes
under the spring C raising it clear of the latch F and allowing it to snap back to
the position shewn in full lines Fig. 4, in which position there is no electrical
connection. The ring G is preferably made by bending to circular form a strip
of metal previously stamped to the required outline.
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:-
An electric switch wherein a bent spring connected to the one wire is caused by
the turning of a knob and sunk ring in the one direction to ride over and snap
behind a latch connected to the other wire, and by the turning of the knob and
ring in the opposite direction the spring is raised by an incline of the ring so as to
become disengaged from the latch, substantially as described.

Improvements in Alarm Thermometers.
1, ISIDOR CAHN of Elberfeld in the Empire of Germany 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:-
This invention relates to a thermometer which is intended to cause an alarm to
be given whenever the temperature prevailing in the place where the thermometer
is situated exceeds a certain degree for which the thermometer is constructed, and
the invention consists in an improved construction of such thermometer whereby on
the alarm temperature being reached the circuit of an electric current is broken
and signalling apparatus released and set in action.
In the improved thermometer, part of the mercury column is separated from the
remainder by a bubble of an inert gas, preferably nitrogen as shown at 6 Fig. 1 of
the annexed drawing and the wires a a of the electric circuit are led into the glass
at such a point or points that during normal temperature the circuit is closed by
the detached column of mercury above the bubble b. When the heat rises to a
temperature at which alarm is to be given, the bubble will arrive and interrupt the
electric circuit.
In place of thus detaching the column of mercury, a float such as is shown in
Fig. may be placed in the tube above the mercury column the movements of
which this float will follow. The float which is made of any suitable material
conducting electricity is provided near its lower end with an annular recess e taking
the place of the bubble b. When this recess arrives so high as to cut the circuit
the current ceases and the signal is caused to sound.
Any number of thermometers as herein described for continuous current may be
inserted in the same circuit and if any one of these rises to such temperature that
the current is interrupted the ceasing of the current will set a suitably contrived
signal in action.
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 :-
An alarm thermometer adapted to interrupt an electric current on attaining a
predetermined temperature, the same having its mercury column interrupted by a
bubble of inert gas, or having an electrically conducting float with a recess
equivalent to the bubble aforesaid for the purpose set forth.

Apparatus for Converging the Rays of Night Lights.
I, LUDWIG WENDRINER, of 2, Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse, Breslau, in the Empire
of Germany, 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 :--
This invention relates to means whereby the rays of light emitted by "night-
lights" are concentrated or focussed upon a desired point, whilst the rest of the
apartment remains in semi-darkness, and consists of an apparatus wherein a candle
or night-light is so positioned in relation to a water bottle or carafe that the desired
object is attained.
In the drawing hereto annexed,
Figure 1 is a general view of an apparatus according to my invention, and
Figure 2 represents a section taken through the night-light holder or candle-
stick.
Upon reference to the drawing it will be seen that a is the pedestal of the
apparatus, b the candle-stick within which is the spiral spring c adapted to press
the candle upwards against the cap d as it is consumed, so that the wick e is
maintained at a constant level relatively to the water carafe g, which stands upon
the holder f. is a tumbler, i a match container, and j the candle flame.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-The spherical body of the water
carafe is equivalent to a double convex lens, and therefore collects the rays of light
proceeding from the candle flame which fall upon it and, provided that such candle
flame is positioned beyond the principal focus of such lens, the said rays of light
are condensed, concentrated, or focussed upon a point in the apartment on that side
of the carafe which is remote from the flame. The light of the candle may
therefore be used for reading or other purpose without inconveniencing other
persons in the room, as for instance in a sick room.
It will be understood that by adjusting the position of the flame with regard to
the focal length of the lens formed by the water carafe, the point at which the
refracted rays are focussed may be varied as desired.
Amongst the advantages accruing from the use of an apparatus according to my
invention may be mentioned the sate-guard against fire which is provided by the
circumstance that the carafe of water is interposed between the flame and the
person using the light.
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 :-
Apparatus for converging the rays emitted by night-lights, in which a water
filled bottle or carafe forms the converging lens, and in which the level of the flame
relatively thereto is kept constant; substantially as and for the purpose herein
described.

Improvements in the Back Doors or Foot-boards of Dog-carts and
other Carriages.
I, JOHN THOMSON KEILLER, of City Carriage Works, Perth, in the County
of Perth, Scotland, Coachbuilder, 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 improve the method of access to the back seat
of dogcarts or other carriages, that is to say to enable any person to enter from the
centre instead of from the side of the carriage, as has hitherto been the case.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the method of carrying out my invention.
Figure 1. shows a part view of a dog-cart fitted with my improvements;
Figures 2. and 3. are a plan and an end view respectively, but to a different scale,
of such a foot-board.
In these drawings the same reference numerals are used to mark the same or like
parts wherever they are repeated.
In carrying out my invention, I cut in the centre of the foot-board 4. an opening
sufficiently large to admit of a full grown person passing through, such opening
forming a doorway which gives easy access to the back end of any two or four
wheeled dog-cart, or other like conveyance, and that without the necessity of
climbing up in the present customary way, which is both difficult and dangerous;
and which cannot be accomplished without the dress coming in contact with the
wheel. Such foot-board is fitted into position in the most suitable manner. In the
opening described above, I place a door 5. hinged to open upwards, as indicated by
dotted lines in Figure 1, and fitting into a recess 6. so that when such door is down
it forms part of the ordinary foot-board 4. Instead of a recess 6. as shewn I may
employ any other suitable method of forming a check. The step or steps 7. are
placed on the centre line of the opening.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In dog-carts and other carriages, the combination of a hinged door 5. with a
foot-board 4, as hereinbefore described and illustrated on the annexed drawings.
2. In dog-carts and other carriages, the combination of a hinged door 5. with a
foot-board 4. and a step or steps 7., as herein before described and illustrated on the
annexed drawings.

Attachments for Boot-heels, Serving as Safeguards from Slipping
whilst Walking on Snow and Ice.
I, HERMANN TITTEL of Freiburg in the Kingdom of Saxonia, Empire of
Germany, 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 :-
This invention relates to interchangeable protectors and spurs which can be
attached to the heels of boots and shoes for the purpose of preventing slipping
when walking on ice or snow.
The protectors and the means of affixing the same to the heel are shown in the
accompanying drawing of which
Fig. 1 is a cross section of the boot-heel,
Fig. 2 a rear view of the same,
Fig. 3 a section of the protector
Fig. 4 a rear view of the boot-heel with protector affixed and
Figs. 5 and 6 a section and view of the ice spur.
The heel of the boot is provided with a vertical groove breadth-ways, and with a.
hollow running through from the back nearly to the front of the heel cutting
through the groove. A pin d provided with a knob or other head fits in the entire
length of this hollow b. The pin is provided with a bayonet catch and is held by
a hook c. The protector consists of a plate i with a layer of felt k and an angle
iron, the limb being provided with an aperture, through which pin dis
inserted when the protector is set in the heel. For this purpose the limb h is
placed in the groove a, which it exactly fits, the aperture in concurring with the
hollow b.
The ice spur consists of a metal plate with teeth and is also provided with
a bole 9. This is inserted into groove a in the same manner to the protector and
is held in place by the pin d.
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. An interchangeable attachment for the heels of boots and shoes as a safe-
guard from slipping on snow and ice, consisting of a plate h provided with teeth f
on its under surface, said plate being fitted in a vertical cross groove a made in the
heel and held in place by means of a pin d, passed through a hollow 6 made in the
heel at right angles to the groove a, substantially as herein described with reference
to the accompanying drawing.
2. An interchangeable attachment for the heels of boots and shoes as a safe-
guard from slipping on snow and ice, consisting of a vertical plate to which is
attached at right angles a plate i with a layer of felt k, the whole being fitted
in a vertical cross groove a made in the heel and held in place by means of a
pin d, passed through a hollow b made in the heel at right angles to the
substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawing.

I WILLIAM EXCELL BAKER Laundry Manager of Fairview Redan Hill
Aldershot do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in washing machines.
For this purpose I construct a washing machine of an outer cylinder or casing
and an inner cylinder, such inner cylinder being capable of revolving in bearings,
and constructed of perforated wood or metal, and having one or more projecting
ribs cast or fixed on and around the outer surface of such cylinder in a screw or
spiral form, for the purpose of causing a commotion of the water & soap & greatly
strengthening the cylinder.

Improvements in Washing Machines.
I, WILLIAM EXCELL BAKER, of Fairview, Redan Hill, Aldershot, 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 has for its object improvements in washing machines. For this
purpose I construct a washing machine of an outer cylinder or casing, and an inner
cylinder, such inner cylinder being capable of revolving in bearings and constructed
of perforated wood or metal in the usual manner and having one or more projecting
ribs cast or fixed on and around the outer surface of such cylinder in a screw or
spiral form, for the purpose of causing a commotion of the water and soap and
greatly strengthening the cylinder.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
The drawing shows a side elevation of an inner cylinder made according to this
invention. This cylinder is of the ordinary form and construction except that
ribs a are fixed around its outer surface.
The action of the machine is as follows:- When the inner cylinder is caused to
rotate the screw or spiral shaped ribs a will travel through the water and washing
materials contained in the outer casing causing a commotion therein.
The direction of the commotion will be towards one end of the machine reversing
as the cylinder reverses.
It will be seen that this commotion of the water in the outer casing will quickly
and thoroughly mix the water and soap or other washing materials or blue contained
therein, and assist their passage into the inner cylinder, which should be perforated
at both ends. The commotion will also prevent settlement, and have a cleansing
effect on both cylinders.
In washing machines in which the outer as well as the inner cylinder is caused to
rotate the ribs a may be fixed to the inner surface of the outer cylinder.

An Improvement connected with Kid Gloves.
I JAMES KERSHAW of the Firm Dent, Allcroft & Co., 97 Wood Street, City of
London, Glove Manufacturers 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 making kid gloves with a silk or a silky material
backing to enable such a glove to be drawn on to the hand with ease and rapidity,
the smoothness of the backing being such that the glove glides upon the hand and
obviates the usual tugging and pulling of the palm and wrist portions, and
considerably lessens the stroking operations of the glove fingers when getting it on.
The glove is also much stronger and the kid leather is not so liable to break, in
addition the silky backing is of a softer nature than the reverse side of the kid
leather and is consequently more comfortable and agreeable to the wearer, the
glove by the elasticity of the silky backing tending to retain its shape better and
for a longer period than is usual with ordinary kid gloves.
The backing is of elastic silk taffeta with the back, palm and the front and back
only of the fingers, sewn in with the seams and with the edging to constitute part
of the glove itself.
The annexed drawing shows my invention.
A is the kid portion with the palm piece thrown open to expose the backing B
of elastic silk taffeta, the combination of which in the manner described constitutes
my invention.
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 :-
Backing kid gloves with elastic silk taffeta as and for the purposes or objects
hereinbefore set forth.

DAVID CUMMING SIMPSON, Engraver 33 Hillside Crescent Edinburgh do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The invention is a machine for sharpening knives. It is composed of a double
stand in metal, wood or other material, having two perpendicular arms in each
stand, or four in each double stand, between which arms and suspended by pins
fastening all together are held two or more emery tablets, converging and inter-
secting each other towards their lower ends and fastened there by a spring or
elastic band working the lower pins in a slot. The double stand being fastened by
pins at each end of the base.
The knife is sharpened by being drawn edge downwards horizontally between the
perpendicular and at the bottom moveable-emery tablets, thus opening these
latter sufficiently to admit according to thickness of the blade.
The machine is so constructed that by unscrewing or taking apart, the emery
tablets may be reversed or inverted thus using all the four edges of each.
