Improvements in the Manufacture of Toothpicks.
I, ANNA MARIA FRIEDERIKE GRONWALD (née BUZELLO) of 25, Ander
Stadtbahn, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, 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 manufacture of toothpicks the object being to enable
them, when used, to aromatize and disinfect the teeth, particularly when decayed.
According to my invention I impregnate or steep toothpicks manufactuted from
any suitable material, such as wood, in aromatic and antiseptic substances which
will be set free by the saliva when the toothpicks are used and will consequently be
distributed over the teeth or defective parts thereof brought into contact with the
toothpick.
In order that the toothpicks may retain the substances with which they are
impregnated until they are used or be thereby enabled to be kept for sale I coat
them with a protective substance which is easily dissolved by the saliva, such
as gum.
In practice I use an aromatic substance, such for example, as cinnamon, ginger,
cardamon, peppermint and an antiseptic, such as thymol, aseptol, winter green oil
or gaultheric or methylsalicylic acid. These substances are dissolved in alcohol
or ether in suitable proportions and the toothpicks to be treated are steeped in this
solution until saturated; or this solution may be forced into the toothpicks by
pressure, according to the kind of wood of which the toothpicks are made.
The toothpicks are then dried ready to be coated with a suitable gum-resin, such
as myrrh, or with gelatine. This coating may be applied on the dried impregnated
toothpicks by placing them in rotating cylinders containing the coating material.
A toothpick thus treated will retain its full efficacy until the coating is
dissolved.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The herein described improvements in the manufacture of toothpicks such
improvements consisting in impregnating the material of which the toothpicks are
made with a solution of aromatic substance and a suitable antiseptic in alcohol or
ether and, after drying, covering them with a protective coating soluble in saliva,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvement in the Manufacturing of Hosiery.
GEORGE TEMPLEMAN Whitehall's Factory Wollaton Street Nottingham
Hosiery Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as-
follows:-
"
Hitherto, it has not been practicable to prick the heel of a hose or half hose or
sock on to what is known as a "Cotton's machine, the transferring bars not
being adapted for this particular part of hosiery knitting.
It has been the custom to make the legs and insteps on "Cotton's" machines
and then send them out to the hand frame work knitters to prick the heel on by
hand and then return them to be finished on the "Cotton's machine.
"
The object of this invention is to reconstruct the transferring bar so as to.
enable the runner on to prick each loop on to the said transferring bar.
This I effect by making the points of the bar with hooks, so that each loop of
the fabric is held during the process of pricking on.
By accomplishing this, I do away with the thick and unsightly place under the
heel and also reduce the cost of pricking on.
Dated the Seventeenth day April 1894.

JOHN WILLIAM EWART Electrician 23 Ampthill Square London N.W. 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 consists of a heavy base to which is attached a tube bent in the
shape of an inverted U with one end produced and standing out while the short
end is fixed to the base. At the long end a tube of smaller diameter is arranged
to slide in and out of the larger tube, so that this last may be still further produced

holder is fitted, having a suitable shade or reflector. When the base is placed on
the top of a piano, the lamp at end of the tube throws the electric light direct
upon the sheet of music placed in front of the performer. The same result is
obtained if the extending tube C stands at right angles to the upright tube. B
springing from base A, only then in order to deflect the light upon the music,
either the tube is bent at the end D, or a nipple is fixed at a convenient angle with
the tube. The connecting wires are brought to the lamp in the following manner-
On entering the base A, they are wound spirally F through the outside tube B,
until they approach the sliding or interior portion C, from which point they may
be continued as straight wires. When the interior tube is pulled out the coils of
the spiral F are extended, and when the tube is pushed back, these coils are closed
again.
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 The use of an extending lamp either of the U shape or horizontal as herein

I JOHANNA WHEELER of the Firm of J. Wheeler & Co. of 44 Bow Lane,
Cheapside London E. C., Art Decorator do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in the method or means of adapting art
cloth to the purpose of forming fire screens, photo frames, blotters, and other objects,
suitable for artistic decoration by hand painting &c., and in accordance therewith
I stretch the substance now commonly known as "art cloth," over millboard to
which latter I affix the "art cloth" aforesaid by means preferably of glue though
paste or its equivalent may be used. When dry I cut or stamp out to desired
shapes or sizes. A smooth and even surface is then obtained free from any creases
or folds particularly adaptable for art painting and other decoration.

I, JOHANNA WHEELER, of the Firm of J. Wheeler & Co., Fancy Warehousemen,
44, Bow Lane E.C. and 90, North Side, Wandsworth Common 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 art cloth is glued to cards, or millboard, not the edges only, but all over, so
as to give a firm flat surface for painting on. By this method the art boards are
mounted more cheaply than by the usual method, viz. a rabbet & beaded frame, as
by this method the boards are simply fastened to the back of the bamboo, or wooden
frame of the screen, by means of tacks or small nails, another advantage in this
method, is that, as the art cloth is glued to a board there is no fear of poking a hole
through it, as there is, when mounted like a picture canvas.
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 panel of inillboard or card covered with art cloth, by gluing it all over, for the
purpose of hand painted fire screens, photo-frames and fancy boxes.

Improvements in Heat Non-conducting Materials.
I, JOSEPH CORRIE STRUTHERS MCLAY of 10 Mexfield Road Putney in
the County of Surrey do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists in using the insoluble carbonate of lime which is produced
in the manufacture of "leys" from lime and a solution of carbonate of soda, as a
non-conductor of heat in combination with other heat non-conducting and adhesive
materials. An admixture of 70% of insoluble carbonate of lime 25% of asbestos
fibre and 5% of "flour sweepings" as a binding material produces a cheap and
efficient heat non-conducting covering.

I JOSEPH CORRIE STRUTHERS MCLAY of 10 Mexfield Road Putney in
the County of Surrey 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:—
In the manufacture of soap the soda that is used to decompose the fats must be
in a caustic state ("leys")" and to obtain this the soap maker boils a solution of
carbonate of soda with lime. The lime takes away the carbonic acid and forms
insoluble carbonate of lime and the caustic soda remains in the solution. This
insoluble carbonate of lime is at present a waste material and its removal where no
waste ground adjoining the soap manufactory is available for depositing it entails
on the soap maker a considerable expense. Now I have found that this waste
material when dried and pulverized is a good non-conductor of heat and when mixed
with other heat non-conducting materials (especially with those of a fibrous nature)
and with adhesive or binding materials forms a very efficient heat non-conductor
which can be applied in the ordinary way to cover boilers, hot and cold water tanks
and pipes, refrigerating chambers, walls, floors &c. The proportions in which this
waste material and other heat non-conducting materials and adhesive or binding
substances should be mixed and the thickness of the admixture which should be
applied to the boilers and other articles must necessarily vary according to
circumstances. On a boiler working at 50 lbs. pressure and with a thickness of
2 inches of covering I obtained an excellent result with an admixture of 70% of
this waste material 25% of asbestos fibre and 5% of "flour sweepings' as the
binding agent.
"
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

page_text: described and at present a waste material as a heat non-conductor in combination
with other heat non conducting materials of either a fibrous or non-fibrous nature
and with adhesive or binding substances.

Pleasance Breweries, Lochee Road, Dundee, in the County of Forfar, Scotland,
Erewers, Maltsters and Hop Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to golf cleeks, irons or clubs, its object being to improve
their shape.
In carrying out my invention as applied, say to a golf iron, I make the cross-
section of the portion which is designed to strike the ball, of L section, and round
off the lower external sharp corner where the two flanges intersect. By so doing,
a broad surface is given to the base of the club, which permits it to slide easily
over the turf without tending to cut it up.

Improvements in and in connection with Bicycles.
I AUGUSTE LELOUP, of 4 Rue de la Republique, Vanves, Seine, in the
Republic of France, 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 :-
At the present time the bicycle has reached almost its apogee of perfection as
regards lightness and in construction, but its transport and storage is still
inconvenient.
This invention for Improvements in and in connection with Bicycles has for its
object to remove these difficulties either when travelling or at home by making it
enter a valise of ordinary dimensions, and this is extremely simple by making it
easily and quickly detachable; by reducing the diameter of its wheels, its length
and its height so that the front part being detached from the back part, and the
seat and handles lowered into their covers, it becomes easy to place the whole in
a valise having a length of 20 inches, 16th inches high and 8 inches wide, which
are the dimensions of ordinary valises allowed in railway carriage racks.
As has been proved, two minutes are sufficient to transfer a bicyclette into a
valise and vice versa. To permit of this the wheels are reduced to 12 inches in
diameter. There is no disadvantage in this reduction since the speed is in
proportion to the motive pinion and the driven pinion. From the point of view of
unstable equilibrium it is even an advantage and from the point of view of traction'
there is also an advantage since the two wheels are nearer together.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is a diagramatic elevation of a bicycle constructed according to this
invention, and
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a valise for containing the same.
The front part of the machine can be separated from the back by dividing the
frame pieces m, n, m¹, n', at suitable points as shown the attachment of the frame
thus divided being made in any suitable manner. In like manner the parts a are
secured to and may be removed from the parts b and c.
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 bicycle in which the front part can be separated from the back by dividing
the frame pieces m n m¹ n¹ at any suitable points chosen; the attachment of the
frame thus divided being made in any suitable manner.
2. A bicycle in which the two wheels are reduced to the diameter of 12 inches.

page_text: 3. A bicycle in which the handles as well as the saddle support a can enter
respectively into the frame parts b and c, in the position shown dotted on the
drawing, the whole substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Design Paper for Weaving Purposes.
I, HUGO WILISCH, of 36 Langenstrasse, Chemnitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony,
Empire of Germany, Master Printer, 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 paper used in the preparation of designs for weaving
purposes.
Hitherto, the paper used has been the ordinary thick, untransparent Bristol
board, and, in cases where it was required to combine two designs on one sheet, it
has been necessary to first draw each design complete in itself on a separate sheet
and then transfer one of them. Owing to each line and square on the two sheets
having to be very carefully counted and compared in this process of transfer, the
operation was a very tedious and expensive one, besides allowing possibilities of
miscalculation and error.
I do away with the difficulty, by substituting a sheet of transparent paper of the
requisite strength, as, for instance, parchment, for one of the sheets of Bristol
board, and by printing exactly the same dividing lines and squares on each.
When two designs have to be combined, one is drawn on the transparent sheet
and the other on the Bristol board, the latter being then easily transferable to the
former by means of tracing.
By my system, the time taken up for combining the designs is about one quarter
of what it was before, especially in cases where the same design is regularly
repeated, as, instead of the squares having to be carefully drawn to for each design,
it is merely necessary to draw the number of copies, leaving the necessary margins,
and then reproduce same by tracing.
In practice my system will be found to have other advantages.
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 :-
--
An improved method of preparing designs for weaving purposes consisting in the
use of one sheet of Bristol board and one or more sheets of transparent paper, such
as parchment, as against the exclusive use of untransparent paper as heretofore.
