Improvements in the Manufacture of Dough for Pastry and the like.
I, JOHN EBENEZER BOUSFIELD, of the Firm of G. F. Redfern & Co., The
General Patent Office, No. 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the County of London,
Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication
to me by Julius Albrecht, of Schwerin, in the German Empire, Master Baker)
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of dough for pastry
and the like.
Pastry as usually made for household purposes possesses the disadvantage that
it soon becomes stale and is in many cases very indigestible.
Now the object of the present invention is to obviate these disadvantages and to
obtain a pastry which not only keeps fresh for a longer time but is also more
digestible than heretofore.
According to my invention I mix or knead finely ground wheat or rye, meal or
flour with wheat or rye, groats or coarsely ground meal by means of cold butter-
milk and I bake the dough or paste thus obtained before the butter-milk begins to
ferment.
Dough made according to the above process contains the groats in intimate
mixture with the particles of flour so that the property, possessed by the former, of
retaining moisture for a considerable time is communicated to the finely ground
flour which does not possess this property. Moreover, as the two materials are
mixed together by means of butter-milk the latter ensures that the pastry so made
is very digestible.
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 :-
A process for making dough for pastry and the like, such process consisting in
mixing finely ground flour, such as wheat or rye flour, with groats or coarsely
ground meal such as that of wheat or rye by means of cold butter-milk so as to
form a dough which is then baked before the butter-milk begins to ferment,
substantially as, and for the purposes, described.

A New or Improved Watch Protector.
I JAMES COCKSHUT, of 4 North Grove Highgate, Paper Stainer 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 device to be employed for securing watches in the
pocket, and preventing them being forcibly removed, and has for its object to
provide a simple and inexpensive article which will serve this purpose effectually.
In carrying out my invention I propose to employ a small pin which is screw
threaded and adapted to pass through the back of the pocket. At the back of the
pocket and inside the waist coat a small nut is placed preferably of rounded
form adapted to receive the screw pin and secure it in position. The screw pin is.
provided with a head to which a metal ring or loop is fitted. This ring is passed
over the watch chain, which is afterwards secured to the watch. Should any
attempt be made to remove the watch it will be caught by the ring.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to.
the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows the device secured to the pocket, and
Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views of the pin and nut.
A is the small screw pin which may be pointed at its extremity in order to pass
more readily through the dress material. It is formed with the head a which is.
pierced to receive the metal ring B through which the chain C is passed. The
nut D which as shown is of rounded form, is screwed on the pin at the back of the
lining E which is thus held between the head a and the nut. The watch can be
easily withdrawn from the pocket by the person carrying it, but it cannot be
removed by pulling the chain.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) A new or improved watch protector, consisting of a screw pin thrust through
the lining of the pocket, a nut at the back and a ring carried by the screw pin.
through which the watch chain is passed, substantially as described and for the
purposes specified.
(2) The improved watch protector, constructed and operating substantially as
described and shown in the accompanying sheet of drawings, and for the purposes.

Improvements in Braces.
I, GUSTAV ALFRED PREUSSER, 34 Jagerstrasse, Hamburg, Germany, Tailor, 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 form of braces, which are not, as usual,
fixed to the front and back of the waist band of the trousers but are attached to two
buttons secured near the hips. With this arrangement the body has freedom of
movement and the buttons are not liable to be torn off when bending forward. The
new braces are capable of adjustment on the breast in the same manner as the ordinary
braces.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a back view showing the new braces in use.
Fig. 3 is a view of a part of the braces.
Fig. 4 is a front view of a modification.
Referring to the drawings:-
The braces consist of two bands a of slightly elastic material which are passed
over the shoulders and crossed at the back, at b (Fig. 2), and they are also connected
together above the crossing by means of a cross strap '. Extending downward from
the crossing point are two elastic strips e which are joined to front bands e by
means of forked pieces g which are each provided with a sloth and a tab i. This
arrangement is devised for the purpose of enabling the braces to be rapidly and
conveniently fixed to the trousers or removed therefrom by simply seizing hold of
the tabi (see Fig. 1) and drawing the fork g either under or over the head of the
button d. The elasticity of the strips c, e is sufficient to hold the fork in position on
the button.
The bands e are connected to the strips a by means of buckles f so that the braces
can be adjusted in the usual manner.
Under a modification, as shown at Fig. 4, the braces can be provided with an
ordinary strap c¹ instead of the forked strap g.
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 1
claim is
1. Trouser braces consisting of two bands or strips crossed at the back and fixed
to two buttons fastened to the waist band near the hips, these braces being capable
of adjustment at the front by means of buckles in the usual manner, substantially as
hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings annexed.
2. Trouser braces made as set forth in Claim 1 and having forks g by means of
which they can be readily attached and detached from the buttons, substantially as
herein before described and shown on the drawings annexed.

1, FRIEDRICH CLASEN of 36 Feldstrasse, St. Pauli, Hamburg, in the Empire
of Germany, 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:-
The object of the present invention is an automatic device for preventing the-
passage of draughts of air between the lower edge of a door and the floor.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of the device separate from the door, and Figure 2 shows
the same applied to the door, Figure 2 being drawn to a smaller scale than
Figure 1.
The mechanism shown in Figure 1 is enclosed in a wooden casing and is applied
to the door as shown in Figure 2, and comes into action as soon as the door is shut..
On shutting the door a bar d is pushed backwards by a roller a connected there--
with rolling on a locking-plate c secured to the door post C. This movement of
the bar d is transmitted to the bell-crank levers f pivotted at e thereby converting
the horizontal direction of motion of the bar d into a vertical one which is.
transmitted by the links g to the piece of sheet-iron h which is bent double and
has secured in it the piece of felt i. The spring k constantly presses the roller a
against the locking-plate e when the door is shut and the felt strip is continually
pressed down upon the floor, thus closing in the most perfect manner the interstice
between the door and the floor and preventing draughts of air from passing into.
the room.
On opening the door the bar d is pushed forwards by the spring into.
its normal position, as shown in Figure 1, raising the felt strip from off the floor.
The two angle brackets serve as guides for the pin m connected with the
sheet-iron holder carrying the felt strip i.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven--
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The automatic draught excluder for doors which consists of the bar a pushed
backwards when the door is shut, and means for transmitting the pressure exerted
by the said bar to the felt strip i so as to press the same firmly against the floor,
substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Improved Construction of Watertight Bulkheads in Merchant
Vessels.
I, DAVID FEATHERS BLACK 88 Park Road Newcastle-on-Tyne County of
Northumberland, Naval Architect do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has for its object, an improvement in the construction of water-
tight bulkheads for merchant vessels, whereby should a vessel get a blow by collision
at or near a bulkhead, only one compartment would in all probability be flooded, and
so lessen the danger of sinking. This object is attained instead of constructing the
bulkhead as is usual in a plane surface from side to side to build same in a branched
form towards the sides. This invention claims that the watertight subdivision is thus
practically doubled, and could be to a large extent adopted in existing ships.

I DAVID FEATHERS BLACK 88 Park Road Newcastle-on-Tyne County of
Northumberland Naval Architect do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and

This invention has for its object an improvement in the construction of watertight
bulkheads for merchant vessels, whereby should a vessel get a blow by collision at or
near a bulkhead, only one compartment would in all probability be flooded, and so
lessen the danger of sinking. This object is attained instead of constructing the
bulkhead as is usual in a plane surface from side to side to build same in a
branched form towards the sides, as indicated on drawings, or other suitable form.
It will be seen that if vessels built with bulkheads as thus described should get a
near a bulkhead, in all probability only one compartment would be
flooded and so lessen the danger of sinking, the spaces thus cut off in the wings
could be utilised for cargo, water ballast, fresh water tanks, or stores, on drawings
herewith are shown the arrangements, and marked as under-

1st. That by constructing the bulkheads as above described, and as indicated on
drawings of a semicircular form branched to the sides, or of a rectangular, hexagonal

be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates generally to dental plates and more particularly to an
adhesive plate which is intended to be connected with the denture to hold the
same more securely in the mouth, the said adhesive plate being sold as an article
of manufacture independent of the hard rubber plate and attached to said plate
by the dentist.
Another object is to provide an adhesive plate that will soothe the gums and
mucous membranes and not irritate them as is commonly done with dentures
now in use.
My invention consists in the details hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings,
Figure 1, indicates an adhesive plate attached to the upper denture.
Figure 2, the plate attached to the lower denture.
Figure 3, shows the adhesive plate for the upper denture and
Figure 4, the plate for the lower denture.
Referring to the drawings A indicates an adhesive plate adapted to be
vulcanized on the palatal surface of the artificial dentures B and C and is
designed to hold said dentures more firmly than is possible by the devices now
employed.
I prepare these adhesive plates by dissolving one part of gutta percha, in
bisulphide of carbon or chloroform and then add two parts of gum tragacanth
which becomes incorporated with the gutta percha, and it is then rolled out in thin
sheets of suitable size and form. The plates in this form are then sold to the
profession and by them applied to the hard rubber plates.
The mode of using my adhesive plates is as follows;
After the case is flasked and packed the adhesive plate is placed on the palatal
surface of the plaster model, and it is then vulcanized in the usual way, and after
the case is vulcanized the plate will be found to be incorporated with the rubber on
the palatal side.
By the use of my plates a strong adhesion is effected and a soothing and calming
influence is imparted to the gums and mucous membrane.
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. As an improved article of manufacture, an adhesive plate made independent
of an artificial denture and adapted for attachment thereto, substantially as shown
and described.
2. As an improved article of manufacture, an adhesive plate made independent
of an artificial denture and composed of gutta percha and gum tragacanth combined,
substantially as set forth.

An Improvement in Mallets.
I, JOHN ARTHUR TORRENS, of Somerset, Coleraine, in the County of
Londonderry, Ireland, Major Royal Scots Greys, 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 head of a mallet is usually a cylindrical block of wood, having its ends
bound with metal rings. My invention relates to means of firmly securing these
rings so that they cannot be thrown off, as often happens when a blow is delivered
by the mallet. For this purpose I make the mallet head as I shall describe
referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. is a front view and Fig. 2 is a side view of a mallet head with rings
secured according to my invention, and Fig. 3 is a view of one of the tie rods shewn
separately.
I cut in the mallet head A four longitudinal grooves, in each of which I lay a
tie rod or strong wire B the ends of which in the first instance project a little
beyond the ends of the mallet head. Having then driven the metal rings C on
the ends of head (which are a little reduced in diameter to receive them) over the
rods B, I bend the ends of the rods and turn them as hooks over the edges of the
rings, thus tying the two rings together, so that the tendency of either to fly off
is counteracted by the other bearing against the shoulder of the head against which
it was driven.
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 :-
In combination with a wooden mallet head, a pair of metal rings at its ends tied
together by rods laid in longitudinal grooves of the head and hooked over the edges
of the rings, substantially as described.

We, JOHN JAMES HORSFIELD and JOSEPH BERRY, trading as J. J. Horsfield
& Co., of Major Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Merchants, 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 is designed to produce a fabric or cloth in imitation of foreign or
native hand loom cloths and having the same appearance and effects.
It consists essentially in manufacturing or producing the cloth by first weaving
a number of narrow widths or strips in a suitable power loom each strip having
a cross or other pattern woven upon it and then stitching several of the narrow
strips together by means of sewing machines the patterns on the several strips
being so arranged as to combine with each other to produce a pattern or effect of
cross checking (or other pattern) of bold appearance which cannot be obtained in
a cloth woven to its full width.
In carrying out the invention we weave a number of narrow widths of cloth in
cotton, woollen, linen and silk yarns with checked, striped or other designs.
These narrow widths or strips of cloth are woven in suitable power looms. The
pattern or design is preferably of longitudinal stripes with cross bars, though
other suitable design may be woven thereon. The narrow widths or strips of cloth
are then taken and stitched together side by side by machinery the design thereon
being so arranged in conjunction as to produce a bold design or pattern across the
whole piece producing the effect of cross checking. Any other suitable design
may be woven upon the strips of cloth to produce diagonal, circular or other
patterns upon the finished cloth.
Any number of these narrow widths or strips are stitched to give the desired
width of cloth.
By this means we are able to produce a cloth with designs or effects not capable
of being woven upon the cloth in the ordinary wide power looms.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
A cloth in imitation of native hand-made cloths produced by weaving in
suitable power looms a number of narrow widths or strips of cloth with suitable
patterns thereon and then stitching these strips together side by side by means of
sewing machines to give the required width and to produce a bold design of cross
checking or other pattern thereon substantially as described.

and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Safety matches as hitherto known, the heads of which are generally made of a
mixture of chlorate of potash, an organic binding substance and other more or less
neutral substances, can only be ignited on specially prepared rubbing surfaces,
consisting generally of amorphous phosphorus and suitable binding substances.
The object of this invention is to obviate the above disadvantage by covering the
head of the match with a separate layer of the substance of the rubbing surface or
a substance which will ignite on any rubbing surface.
This may be done in various manners. For instance the ordinary safety matches
may be first produced in the usual manner and the heads then covered, after
drying, either with a thin layer of the substance used for covering the rubbing
surface of the box, or with a thin layer of a substance which will ignite on all
rubbing surfaces.
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 :-
Safety matches which will ignite on all rubbing surfaces, consisting of ordinary
safety matches the heads of which are covered either with a separate thin layer of
the suitably prepared substance of the corresponding rubbing surface or with a
separate thin layer of a substance which will ignite on all rubbing surfaces.

I, THOMAS WEAVER, of "Isca," Marsden Road, Southport, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 hatpins or means for securing ladies' hats and bonnets
to the hair, and has for its object to make such pins more serviceable and capable
of more securely holding the hat or bonnet.
Hatpins as at present used consist of a single pin or prong.
With such a pin it
is usually found necessary to employ two or more before a secure fastening is
effected.
According to this invention a hatpin comprises two prongs, which prongs may
be held in a jet or cast-metal head, or one piece of wire may be bent to form both
prongs.
In the drawing hereto annexed are illustrated several forms of hat pins under
this invention.
Fig. 1 shews a complete hatpin, the prongs a and bridge-piece b in this case
consisting of one piece of wire, provided with an ornamental head.
Fig. 2 shews the same type of hat-pin differently ornamented.
Figs. 3 to 9 shew types of hatpins in which the prongs a are separate pieces of
wire which are screwed, rivetted, or soldered to an ornamental head b of jet, cast-
metal, or other suitable material.
Figs. 10 to 11 shew the prongs a formed of one piece of wire which is bent to
form a head b.
In these latter modifications the prongs a may be arranged to spring outwardly
at their points, in order to take a better hold of the hair.
The prongs may be of various lengths for use with hats, bonnets, or caps.
By employing a hatpin provided with two prongs, the hat cannot turn upon the
pin as is now possible, and a secure fastening is effected.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A hat pin comprising two prongs, screwed, rivetted, or soldered to a jet,
cast-metal or other suitable head, substantially as described.
2. A hat pin formed of one piece of metal bent to form a head and two prongs,
which latter may be adapted to spring outwardly, substantially as described.
