page_text: We EDITH MARY JANE ARNOLD and ALFRED ARNOLD, Stationer, both of 76 Verney
Road South Bermondsey in the County of Surrey and JOSEPH CROSBY HETHERINGTON
of 5 Upper Vernon Street, Lloyd Square in the County of Middlesex, Manufacturing
Stationer 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 provide a Memorial or Wedding Card which will
afford a pleasing and lasting Memento of relatives and friends.
According to this invention we so arrange the printing of the ornamental or
decorative portion of a Memorial or Wedding Card as to leave a space or spaces
of circular oval or any other convenient form within which are attached a photograph
or photographs, said spaces being surrounded by any suitable wreath or decoration.
The said wreath or decoration surrounding the space or spaces may be printed in
one or more tints and combined or not with silver or suitably embossed, as desired,
a space being preferably left under the photograph (in the case of Memorial Cards)
for the insertion when required of a verse or suitable words.
In Memorial Cards one Photograph space only will usually be required but in
wedding cards two Photograph spaces would be needed, a scroll or other suitable
arrangement being in some cases provided under the photograph spaces for the
insertion of the names of the persons represented in the Photographs above.
It will be obvious that various modifications in the method of applying our
invention without departing from the essential features thereof will readily suggest
themselves to persons engaged in the manufacture of Memorial and Wedding Cards
the simplest arrangement and the one which we prefer to adopt being that of printing
or embossing or both printing and embossing the decorative design upon the card
in such a manner as to leave a space or spaces thereon for the attachment or
insertion of the desired photograph or photographs.
By our Invention Memorial and Wedding Cards can be produced of a more pleasing
and memorative nature and may if desired be made of such a form and size as to be
suitable for framing and hanging up.

page_text: The photographs may in some cases be inserted through slits or openings made to
receive them but this will be readily understood and further reference is therefore
unnecessary.
Any construction of cards also may be used whether single or folded.
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 :-
As a new article of manufacture a Memorial or Wedding Card in which the
printing or embossing or printing and embossing of the ornamental or decorative
design upon its surface is so arranged as to leave a space or spaces within which
a photograph or photographs is or are attached or inserted substantially as specified.

applied thereto. According to this arrangement I form the body a of the basin in the
usual way but in carrying my invention into effect, I apply thereto suitable.projecting
handles or grips b which may be of the design represented or of any other desired
design.
Figure 3 represents a partial side elevation and partial section of a toilet or wash
hand basin showing another method of carrying my invention into effect. In this
case the body a of the basin is of any usual or desired form, but, in order to provide
means for safely gripping or holding the basin, I curve the brim so much over as to
form a grip or handle 6 and thus enable the basin to be firmly and securely held
thereby.
Figure 4 represents a partial side elevation and a partial section of a toilet or wash
hand basin showing another method of carrying my invention into effect. In this
case I form the body a of the basin of any usual or desired form except that at
opposite sides thereof I form an opening a¹ to permit of the insertion of the fingers
and I cover such opening on the inside of the basin by a suitably curved piece a' which
makes the basin fluid tight at such parts, renders the interior of the basin smooth and
supplies the required strength. In this example the handle or grip b is formed by the
top edge or flange of the opening a¹.

Unimneys and Flues.
JOHN BROYDEN TONGE of No. 27 Salthouse Road, Barrow in Furness, in the
County of Lancaster, Clerk of Works to the Furness Railway Company 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 invention consists of a frame or drawer made of fire-proof material to be
inserted from the outside of flue at any point above the roof line or otherwise
accessible from the outside. The lower edge of the back of the frame or drawer
carries chisel-pointed lugs or studs D which may be inserted in the brickwork joints
at the back of the flue, and the face H of the frame will stand flush with the outside
of the flue, thus affording complete support to the frame, its back resting on the
lug-points inserted in the back of the flue and its front resting in the hole made
for insertion of the drawer or frame. The face of the frame is filled by an air-brick
or perforated plate for the purpose described hereinafter.
At the top of the drawer or frame a metal valve or flap A is hinged to the flange of
the frame and held up at an angle of forty five degrees or thereabouts by a supporting
stud G or studs driven into the other side of the Aue. At the bottom of the frame is
hinged another valve or flap B raised upward in an opposite direction to the top flap
and held in position by a hook and chain connecting the flap and the side of flue.
The flaps are hinged to the flanges and their upper edges are curved semi-
circularly outward F so as to facilitate the upward passage of the sweeping-machine
and so as to offer no obstruction to the withdrawal of the sweeping-machine, on
which withdrawal they will revert to their original position.
Behind the upper flap an outlet hole C is made in the side of the flue, and a
down-draught striking upon the said upper flap passes out at the said outlet,
carrying the smoke with it. Any down-draught passing the upper flap falls upon
the lower flap B and is passed off through an air brick or perforated plate H let
in to the front of the frame or drawer.

page_text: 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 advantage of a sliding frame filling whole space of flue, with dual system of
flaps rendering down-pour of smoke beyond the frame virtually impossible:
cheapness of production and ease of insertion: the curvature of the outer edges of
the flaps, obviating the difficulty of sweeping past the flaps by affording easy access
and withdrawal of machine: the method of fixing the frame into the flue.

I, JOHN WILLIAMSON, of 4 Barnsbury Square, Islington, in the County of Middlesex,
Brass Founder, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 that class of washing apparatus in which the heated water
is caused to circulate, by passing upwards through a vertical tube attached to an
inverted dish; the heated water ascending the tube, and being thrown outwards from
the top, of the tube to and upon the clothes to be washed, and cooler water at
the same time passing into the space under the dish, through suitable openings
in the rim.
And whereas it has been customary to construct this description of apparatus of
various kinds of metal; and it has been found in practice that the metal speedily
becomes foul and corroded, and is difficult to clean.
Now the object of my invention is to remedy these defects by manufacturing
apparatus of the description aforesaid of earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, glass,
china or other pottery ware; which materials are entirely free from the before
mentioned defects.
I form the inverted dish and the central tube in one, the rim being perforated or
provided with projections, so as to provide openings for the entry of the water below
the apparatus.
I prefer to form the upper end of the tube of an enlarged diameter, closed at the
end, and with holes through the cylindrical portion near the top, wherefrom the water
is projected upon the clothes or other articles to be washed.
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 application and use of earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, glass, china or other
pottery ware in the manufacture of apparatus as aforesaid for washing clothes and
other articles, substantially as hereinbefore described.

GUILLERMO ANTONIO FARINI of 2 Vernon Place Bloomsbury Square London
Author and Inventor and THOMAS SCOTT BALDWIN of Quincy Illinois, U.S.A. at
present in London Aeronaut 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 improvements in parachutes. The whole of it being
flexible, and is constructed of any light material and is made mushroom shaped at
the top, the strips of cloth to make this shape are cut so that when sewn together
they form a circle, the outer edges being left straight, so as to form a wide perpen-
dicular side to hold the air, and keep the parachute from turning upside down
with a contrary current of air, a hole is left in the center to balance it. So that if
suddenly tipped up by the wind the air would rush out of the hole in the center
and relieve the unequal pressure.
A small cord is sewn into each seam, and the ends of said cords are attached to
cords sewn in the edges of the material both outside and in the center of the
parachute which give great strength to the parachute as well as flexibility.
From the cord on the outer edge of the parachute, are other cords descending
to a ring bar or other device for the support of the aeronaut said cords to be of
sufficient length to properly balance the parachute. The size of the parachuto
depending upon the weight of the aeronaut.
The object of this invention is to descend or land from an aerial ship or balloon, if
any accident should occur to it, such as bursting or the valve getting out of order.
This invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings.
(Fig. 1) is side elevation.
(Fig. 2) is plan of the same.
In (Fig. 1) (b) represents the cords sewn in the seams of the material the
1

page_text: (Fig. 2) (a) Is a circular hole in the center of the parachute, around the edge of
which is sewn a cord to which the cords that are sewn in the seam are attached.
The hole (a) also prevents the parachute from getting out of balance, by allowing
the air to escape through it, when the parachute has an unequal pressure on any
side.
The parachute can be used without this hole, but is not so safe.
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
First. A flexible ribless parachute.
Second. A parachute with stay cords sewn in the seams of the material the
parachute is constructed of as herein described.
-
Third. A mushroom shaped parachute with deep sides as herein described.
Fourth. A hole in the center of parachute for the passage of air to balance it herein
described.
Fifth. A mushroom shaped flexible parachute made of any light suitable material.
Sixth. A parachute flexible and mushroom shaped with or without a hole in the
center.
Seventh. The whole combination as herein described and shewn in the drawings or

Consists in placing any number of bottles of the same size and description in rows
close to each other, to form a square.
Place a board about the same size as the square of the bottles having the same
number of holes bored in it as there are bottles in the square, the holes being

Thus continue stacking each tier until the last board will only have four holes.
Fig. 1 A. B. C consists of boards perforated with holes as already described.
Fig. 2 D E F shews the same in section.
Fig. 3 GHI are bottles shewn in elevation.
I do not bind myself to shape of boards, they may be square as shewn in drawing,
any other shape however will answer the purpose if desired, such as triangles or
circles.
Neither do I bind myself to making a circular hole for the neck to protrude through
board; round the outside edges slot-holes might be used in order to withdraw bottles
from stack without displacing the remainder.
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
1. The boards resting upon the shoulders of the bottles owing to the necks protruding
through the boards.
2. Placing the bottles on the boards between the protruding necks.

I, FREDERICK ROBERT WRIGHT, of No. 162 Westminster Bridge Road, in the
County of Surrey, Billiard Table Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to the construction of a billiard table in such a manner that in
can be raised or lowered equably and so can be made to serve, when it is covered and
at a moderate height, as a dining table or the like; or, when it is raised and
uncovered it can be used as a billiard table of full size and at the height suitable for
that purpose. I will describe the construction which I adopt referring to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan taken under the table, Fig. 2 is a vertical section of one of the
middle legs shewn in its condition when the table is lowered, Fig. 3 is a similar
section when the table is raised.
Each of the six legs is made in two parts, a lower part A which may rest directly
on the floor or may be provided with a foot or castor, and an upper part B which
partly encloses and can slide freely along the lower part.
The upper part B terminates at the top in a metal box C to which is bolted the
framing D that carries the table. The lower part A of the leg has fixed in it a socket
having its lower end E screw threaded internally to form a nut for a screw spindle F.
The upper part B of the leg also has fixed in it a socket fitted to slide in the lower
socket and having at its top a shoulder G against which bears a collar of the screw
spindle F. This screw spindle has fixed on its upper end a crown bevil wheel H"
gearing with one, two or three bevil pinions on horizontal spindles which work in
socket bearings in the boxes C. The pinions and spindles are arranged as shewn in
Fig. 1, that is to say, a winch handle K which can be applied at either side or at both
sides of the table, turns a pinion which works the middle crown wheel H¹. This
crown wheel works a pinion on a central transverse spindle L' and a pinion on a
longitudinal spindle L. The spindle L' has on it a pinion which works the crown
wheel H2 at a corner of the table, and this works a pinion on a transverse spindle L³,
a pinion on which works the crown wheel H³ at the other corner. By this connection
of gearing all the screw spindles F in the six legs of the table are caused to revolve

page_text: uniformly together, and the table being once adjusted for level by turning some of the
lower parts A of the legs so as to screw them up or down, it can be raised or lowered
maintaining its level condition.
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:
The construction and use of the frame and six legs of a billiard table with screws in
the legs connected by gearing, the whole arranged and operating, substantially as and
for the purpose herein set forth.

THOMAS GASGARTH of 79 Falkner Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster,
Bread & flour dealer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an iron coal pan (Chaffer) such as Bakers use for heating
their ovens, the improvement consists in several perforation or holes in an ordinary

I THOMAS GASGARTH of 79 Falkner Street Liverpool in the County of Lancaster
Baker, 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 improvements in heating bakers ovens through an iron coal
pan commonly called Chaffer by means of these improvements the combustion of coals
or other heating materials is much more accelerated and the heat is thereby spread
over a larger surface of the bottom of the oven, as by the ordinary chaffer, through
the better combustion a material saving of fuel with less smoke consequently more
heat is obtained also saving time and labour in heating the oven.
My invention consists in forming perforations or holes about halfway down the sides
of the Chaffer of round oval or other forms, whereby the draught through the draught
pipe has a better chance to spread and direct the flame to the bottom of the oven
accelerating the better combustion of fuel giving a fiercer heat with less smoke saving
time labour and fuel.
Reference is made to the annexed drawing in which Fig. 1. is a perspective view of
the chaffer a showing the hole3 6 through the side of the chaffer a. Fig. 2 is a plan
showing the holes through both sides of the chaffer a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
I declare that what I claim is
1. A chaffer or iron coal pan for heating bakers ovens with perforations or holes
through the sides of the same substantially as described.
2. A chaffer or iron coal pan for heating bakers ovens with perforations or
"holes," round oval or other forms for the better combustion of fuel substantially
as described.
3. A chaffer or iron coal pan for heating bakers ovens with perforations or holes
through the sides of the chaffer for the better spreading and directing the flames to the
bottom of the oven.
