Improvements in or connected with Absorbing Plates, Serving as
Stands for Beer Glasses and the like.
I, KARL KÖSTER, Merchant of Karpfenstrasse 14, Lübeck, 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:
The object of the above invention is an improved stand or plate for beer glasses
as used in public houses in beer drinking countries, said plate having the peculiar
property of absorbing fluids that are spilt on to it from the beer or other glass
standing on it. The plate consists mainly of a mixture of clay with cellulose.
A mixture of these two substances which has been found by experiment to be most
suitable consists of 95% of clay and 5% of cellulose. After having mixed these
parts well together they are placed in moulds of a shape corresponding to the beer
stands and then baked.
The annexed drawing shews one form of such beer glass stand, Fig. being a
section and Fig. 2 a top view of same.
As represented, the plate shaped stand a, is placed in the frame 6, the latter
consisting of any suitable material. In order to increase the absorbent properties
of the stand, the same is provided with holes c. The stand is preferably of a
hollow shape for the quicker disposal of the fluid trickling down the sides of the
glass.
The advantage of the above described stands over those hitherto in use consists
in the fact that the stand in question when quite saturated with beer etc. need only
be soaked a short time in water and then dried after which it is again capable of
absorbing beer or other fluids.
These stands are preferably made of black appearance and this is managed by
smoking them with any of the combustible forms of carbon. But the above
described new component substance of the stand can be treated before or after
baking in such a manner as to produce various colours; the shape of the stands is
optional.
Having now particularly described and ascertained my invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I claim :
A stand for beer glasses and the like consisting of an absorbent material which
is composed of a baked mixture of clay and cellulose.

Improvements in and relating to Rubber, Celluloid, and similar
Toy Balls.
We, CHARLES STANLEY of 36, South Street, Accrington, in the County of
Lancaster, Signalman, and ABRAHAM WARBURTON, of 30, South Street,
Accrington aforesaid, Driller, 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 the combination with a rubber, celluloid or similar
toy ball, of a bell or bells placed inside the ball, and held in suspension in such
a manner, that when the ball is bounced, struck, or shook, it will give forth
musical sounds, the suspending medium yielding to the depression or rebound of the
ball as the case may be, and preventing damage to the bells by the concussion
thereby occasioned.
Our invention will be fully understood by reference to Fig. I of the accompanying
drawings.
A is the rubber or similar ball, formed with two paps B, of rubber or other soft
material diametrically opposite to each other. For rubber balls, one of these may
be the same as is used in the course of inflation.
In the centre of the ball are two bells C, stamped out of sheet tin, brass or the
like. A rod D is passed through holes in the very centre of the bells C, and
soldered thereto, a loose ball E having first been introduced between the bells, and
a small space
also left between the rims of the bells for the emission of sound,
but not large enough however to allow of the loose ball E falling out. The ends of
the rod D are formed into loops F. Elastic bands G are now attached respectively
to the said loops F and wire staples or eyelets H, which are fixed to said paps B by
embedding their pronged ends into the material.
It will be evident that when the ball is bounced about, it will give forth musical
sounds, by the rolling of the loose ball E against the sides of the bell C, the latter
being held free from damage by their elastic suspension. Instead of elastic bands G
small spiral springs or other flexible material may be employed.
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 :-
The combination with a rubber, celluloid or similar toy ball of a bell or bells
held in elastic suspension substantially as and for the purpose described and set
forth.

A Post or Hand Reply Envelope for Correspondence.
Wе THOMAS STEPHENSON WEIR Health Officer Bombay Municipality
Bombay, and GEORGE WALSHE Retired Warrant Officer Grant Road Bombay,..
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 an improved method for providing a cover or envelope
for correspondence that may be used both for communication and reply either by
post or hand thus effecting a saving of a second cover.
It is made with less paper than an ordinary letter cover of any given size.
A line of perforations is made parallel with the fourth edge and about half an
inch from it. The inner surface of one side is gummed to the depth of three
quarters of an inch from the edge and a green strip or tongue of non-adhesive-
paper about an inch wide is attached to the opposite side within parallel to the
opening, so as to prevent the adhesion of the gum. The green strip or tongue
should be perforated in correspondence with the perforations in the envelope.
The green strip or tongue is made non-adhesive by preference with parafin wax
for the same purpose.
In the annexed drawing the two sides of the envelope are represented in-
Figures 1. and 2, Fig. 1 represents the forwarding side. The open edge b, has a
line of perforations near it marked d. Figure 2. represents the reply side of the
envelope with part of it torn away shewing the strip of non-adhesive paper C,.
which is shaded. This non-adhesive paper is also torn for a short distance along.
the line of perforations exposing the gummed inner side of the open end 6 of the.
envelope.
The envelope is used as follows:-
The perforated edge of the envelope, should be folded backwards and the
perforated edge of the green strip or tongue torn off, the document placed in the
cover, the exposed gummed surface moistened and the envelope closed.
The envelope is opened by tearing off the strip of paper at the perforations.
When used for a reply the address is cancelled and the envelope re-addressed on
the reply side the non-adhesive green strip is folded inwards or toru off, the
remaining gummed surface moistened and the envelope closed as before.
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 :-
I. The making of a letter cover or envelope that can be used twice over, that is
to say-for communication and reply-as described.
11. The use of a non-adhesive slip of paper against a gummed surface, to
prevent adhesion, substantially as described."
III. The combination of the above two claims.

Improvements in Electrically Operated Windlasses.
1, GEORG ASMUSSEN, of 32 Frucht-allée Hamburg-Eimsbüttel, in the Empire
of Germany, 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:-
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a section on the line G H of Figure 2.
Figure 2 is a section on the line J K of Figure 1 and
Figure 3 is a section on line L M of Figure 1.
Upon the shaft of the armature of the dynamo machine A a small friction
pulley is arranged, which by the lifting or the lowering of the machine is brought
into contact with the exterior or interior friction rim of the friction pulley c and
thus causes this pulley to rotate either towards the right or towards the left while
the motor A keeps its uniform rotary direction.
The friction pulley e is arranged upon the shaft.d the worm e of which actuates
the worm wheelf and thereby the shaft g. The latter carries the rope drum h
and the windlass heads i.
By means of the hand lever and of the lever m arranged upon the shaft 1,
which lever m carries a counterpoise weight for the compensation of the weight of
the motor, the latter is lifted or lowered.
During this operation the same revolves around the shaft n. The friction
pulley for lifting the load is put in gear with the rim c and for lowering the same
is put in gear with the rim c¹, so that according to the various diameters of
these friction rims the lowering of the load takes place with approximately double
the speed of the lifting operation.
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 :-
An electrically operated windlass, having this characteristic feature, that the
electromotor A is movably arranged and that a friction pulley 6 keyed on or
coupled to its armature, can be put into gear either with the exterior or the interior
of two friction pulleys (el and c²) lying in the same plane and serving to actuate
the winding drum, for the purpose of obtaining a slower rotation of the winding
drum during the lifting of the load and a quicker rotation of the said drum in the
opposite direction during the lowering of the load, while the rotary motion of
the motor remains uniform.

A Device for Delivering the Contents of Flasks or Bottles
in Drops.
I, LOUIS EUGENE ARCHAMBAULT DE BEAUNE, of 16, Rue le Verrier, Paris,.
France, Glass Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to a safety device for flasks or bottles whereby to enable
the contents to be delivered drop by drop, the device being applicable not only to
phials but to bottles containing for instance liqueurs or perfumes.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a bottle with the device applied.
Figure 2 is an elevation and plan of the valve and Figure 3 similar views of the
valve seat.
Figure 4 represents in vertical section a modified form of the device.
The same letters of reference denote like parts in all the figures.
The neck a of the bottle is made slightly conical and provided with a shoulder c
upon which rests a valve d, the height at which the shoulder is situated in the neck
depending on whether the bottle is corked or stoppered.
The valve d is made
preferably of glass. It has a concave upper face d', and a shank e terminating in
a spherical knob f. The concavity d', is intended by increasing the pressure to
retain the liquid which it is desired to return to the bottle, the stem e serving by
its weight to hold the valve in position. The annular valve seat 9 is made
preferably of glass and is fixed in the bottle neck in any suitable manner at a
certain distance from the valve d so as to permit of a limited play of the latter
when the bottle is inverted and shaken in order to deliver the contents drop by
drop. It has a central conical aperture h and its lower face is bevelled as at i and
fits in the concave face d' of the valve d which would rise and close the orifice /
should it be attempted to exhaust the contents.
In the modification represented in Figure 4, the valve seat g is placed at the
bottle mouth and is provided with a nozzle k which may be closed by a glass
cap lined with cork or indiarubber m, or a rubber or other capsule may be
employed.

This invention has for its object. to construct clocks in such a manner, that
they need only be wound once a year, and this without destroying their accuracy
or introducing unnecessary complications.
The clock is provided with a motor spring or main spring and a balance-wheel
of ordinary design, and to equalize the pressure transmitted by the mainspring
at different stages, I interpose between the spring barrel and the tooth gear or
dial-train a fusee or conical drum, on which is wound a wire, string or driving
chain, the said fusee or drum being shaped and arranged in such a manner that
in proportion as the tension of the main spring diminishes, the radius of the
drum on which the driving string or chain is acting varies and that the two
variations compensate each other, so as to keep the speed of the dial train constant.
In other respects, the clock may be constructed as usual, and it may be provided
with a striking mechanism or with a date indicator or other accessories. It may
be mounted on a table or fixed to a wall.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 a side

My improved toe-calk blank is made in the following manner, a rod of steel of
the size required is cut into the desired lengths, then the unfinished blank A, is
milled so to have a groove as shown at 6 Fig. 2, after this groove b is made, the
members C and C₁ are compressed, one or both, as shown in Fig. 3, so that
the groove becomes dove-tail in section, see Fig. 3, and is ready for receiving a
nail D having the same cross section, as shown in Fig. 4.
The toe-calk blank and its nail are shown in full in Fig. 5.
In practice, it is to make the nail of such a size in relation to the groove that it
will be frictionally held in its place in the groove ready to be driven into the heated
body of the shoe, preparatory to heating and welding.
The groove b may, if it is thought desirable, be made at one side of the toe-calk
blank, and serve the same purpose.
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 combination of a toe-calk having a vertical groove on one of its faces,
extending from top to bottom, and angular in cross section, and adapted to receive
and frictionally hold a nail; with a nail also of angular cross-section and fitting
said groove and adapted to be driven into the body of the shoe so as to hold
the calk firmly in place until welded, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.

Improvements in Pince Nez and Folders.
I, SIEGFRIED COHN, of Johannesburg, South African Republic, Speculator, 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 nature of my invention consists of improvements in pince nez and folders,
and is described as follows:-
For the purpose of attaching spectacles to the nose, it is essential that they
should be comfortable, light and easily adjustable to any distance apart of the
crystals without alteration of the superficial bearing upon the flesh, and the grip in.
such location that, with the head in any position, or by any rapid movement, it.
will be almost impossible to displace or shake them off to accomplish which, it is
necessary to grip the nose as far back towards the eye sockets as possible. This I
accomplish by means of the ordinary folder frame or the contracting and expanding
frames which are actuated by a horizontal coil spring encircling the sliding parts,.
thereby connecting the two crystals together, and accommodating itself to the
width of the nose bridge and distance apart of the eyes. In these ordinary frames
it will be noticed that they have to pass across in front of the nose, but my inven-
tion consists of two independent grip bars or plaquettes, on either side of the nose,
attached to the rims or frames at their upper and lower ends, and being curved
inwardly towards the eye sockets they grip as far back as possible, added to which
they can be so adjusted as to cause the line of vision to pass through the centre of
each lens. These grip bars or plaquettes are provided with pads or cushions of
suitable material, at the part which comes in contact with the flesh, thereby.
forming a superficial and tenacious holding surface, irrespective of the herein before.
mentioned frame which passes across in front of the bridge of the nose.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1, is an elevation, showing the grip bars or plaquettes, A. A. extending-
inwardly towards the eye sockets.
Fig. 2, is a plan, showing the connecting frame B. and grip bars, with the pads.
or cushions C. 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. The two curved grip bars or plaquettes projecting inwards towards the eye.
substantially as described and as shown in the accompanying drawing.
2. The two curved grip bars or plaquettes projecting inwards towards the eye in.
combination with the ordinary pince-nez or folders, substantially as described and.
as shown in the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Billiard Cues.

Improvements in Billiard Cues.
I EMIL LIEBSCHER, Merchant, of Niederhäslich, near Deuben i/S 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:-
This invention consists in a billiard cue the weight of which is increased by
means of insertions of steel or lead while the point receives greater elasticity by
use of a thicker leather tip than is generally employed, said tip being screwed into
a socket made to receive it.
In the annexed drawing Fig. 1 represents the ends of a billiard cue, Fig. 2 is a
cross section through the point encased in a brass shell.
The cue in the first place consists of two sleeve like wooden parts a, a', inside of
which is a steel rod b. These parts are glued together, and moreover held, by
means of metal (preferably brass) collars cd. In order to obtain the desirable
weight for the lower part of the cue a lead insertion e is cast into it through the
central hole, of the wooden end block f.
The brass collar d which is partly screwed on to the upper end of the cue
receives at its other end the leather tip g. In consequence of the increased
thickness of the latter, which is thus capable of considerable elasticity a much
better and more elastic stroke is obtained.
It may be added that the said leather tip when worn down, can be fitted
with a small disk of leather such as the ordinary cue tip to be glued or
cemented on to the point.
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 :-
A billiard cue, consisting of wooden sleeves (a, a¹) and steel core (b) inside,
which parts are glued up and also held together by brass collars (c d) the lower
end of said cue being increased in weight by an insertion of lead (e) cast into it
while the upper end or point is rendered elastic by means of a leather tip (g)
screwed into the collar (d).

Improvements in Ball Bearings for Velocipedes.
Year: 1895

page_text: Date of Application, 10th Aug., 1895-Accepted, 14th Sept., 1895
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ball Bearings for Velocipedes.
I, ERNST SACHS, of Schweinfurt, in the Empire of Germany, 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:-
The present invention relates to improvements in ball bearings which are
represented in the annexed drawings in different forms of construction.
For the purpose of dividing up the pressure exerted on the axle a the anti-
friction balls at the place where the impulse is given, namely, where the chain
wheel is keyed on to the hub d are arranged in two rows and run on a projecting
annular part of said axle a, while the opposite running surfaces for the antifriction
balls are formed respectively by a ball bearing cup e inserted in the hub and by a
screw-muff which is screwed on to the latter."
The other end of the axle a has only one row of antifriction balls, the
arrangement being such that the latter e run either between an interior ball-bearing-
cup e of the hub d and an exterior screw-cone f' on the axle a (Fig. 1) or between
an exterior screw cup 2 on the hub d and an interior screw cone on the axle a
(Figs. 2 and 3). The adjustment of the ball races is therefore accomplished by
adjusting either of the parts f' (f³) or e³.
The part 6 of the axle a may be fixedly or displaceably arranged. Its form is
spherical (Fig. 1) or biconical (Figs. 2 and 3) the running surfaces being in the
latter instance, either straight (Fig. 2) curved (Fig. 3), or concave (Fig. 3 in
dotted lines). k represents the locking nuts.
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: :-
1.) Antifriction ball bearings for velocipedes, in which the antifriction balls c
arranged at the place of impulse in two rows for the purpose of dividing the
pressure exerted on the axle a, run on a spherical or biconical projecting annulus b
of the axle a the adjustment of said bearings being effected by a screw cone fl or
the like screwed on to the said axle.
2.) Antifriction ball bearings for velocipedes in which the antifriction balls c
arranged in two rows at the place of impulse for the purpose of dividing the
pressure exerted on the axle a, run on a spherical or biconical annulus 6 of the said
axle, the adjustment of the ball bearings c, being accomplished by a screw cup e³
screwed into the hub d.
