I FRANK ROBERTS of 1 Scone Gardens, Parsons Green, Edinburgh, Scotland,
Superintendent Singer Manufacturing 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 :-
I provide in place of the ordinary glove a glove made of rubber lined as far as the
wrist with wool or fur or other material. I advantageously make the upper portion
of my said glove of unlined rubber to reach between wrist and elbow with a
strong rubber band at top to prevent tearing and so made that the aforesaid
upper portion of my improved glove is capable of being unrolled or unfolded up
the arm over or under coat sleeves, the strong rubber band keeping my improved
glove tightly round the arm and thereby preventing rain and snow from wetting

down the hand or up the arm of the wearer. (2) Further, I provide for ventilating
my improved glove by making small perforated air holes either in the back or
front of the glove or in both the back and front of the glove with suitable
provision for protecting such air-holes from tearing and for preventing the water
running into such air-holes. This protection and prevention is secured by the parts
of the glove forming the edges of such holes being raised or thickened.
Having now 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 :-
1. The make or construction of driving gloves of rubber lined as hereinbefore

Improvements in Hair Pins.
I, FRIEDRICH AUGUST GOESSER, of 32 Hohler Weg, Iserlohn, in the Kingdom
of Prussia, German Empire, 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 improvement relates to hair pins, also applicable as hair-jewellery, con-
sisting of one spike only, which either wholly or partly is coiled helicoidally, or in
the form of a cylindrical or a conical helix.
The objects of my improvements are firstly to secure a tight hold of the pin
itself, as the coil twisted into the hair, completely prevents the pin becoming
accidentally disengaged, and secondly, to hold the hair securely. By employing
the form above mentioned the pin cannot yield of the pressure, exercised chiefly in
the direction to its axis, being held in the hair by its windings, and the hair cannot
become loosened, being held fast by the windings of the coil.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood, I will refer to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. (1) shows a pin, the middle part of which consists of screw like windings of
cylindrical shape.
Fig. (2) shows a pin the helical windings of which are slightly conical.
Fig. (3) shows the same but with cone reversed.
Figs. 4 & 5 are modifications.
a a¹ is the shaft of the pin, the upper part a of which is provided with a head b,
which may be ornamented in any way or furnished with jewels.
a² is the helical coil forming part of the pin and arranged to operate as above
described.
The modification shown in Fig. 4 is especially intended for the use of ladies
having thick and long hair.
I may in some cases dispense with the lower part a¹ and form the pins with
helical coils extending to the end, as shown in Fig. 5.
The advantages of my improved hair pins are, that if applied as hair jewellery,
the jewels are kept steady in their place and cannot be lost, even if the head of the
pin bearing the jewel hangs downwards.
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 :-
1. A hair pin, also applicable as hair jewellery, formed of a spike or pin coiled
in a helical manner for the whole or part of its length, as described and for the
purposes specified.
2. A hair pin or hair jewel pin, of the kind described, having a helically coiled
part of conical or tapered form, substantially as described and illustrated in Figs. 2
& 3 of the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Metallic Boxes.
We, JOSEPH SADDLER STOCKTON, Engineer of Graham House, Icknield
Street Birmingham and THE PATENT STOPPER BOX AND STAMP COMPANY
LIMITED of 13 Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of London, 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 for improvements in metallic boxes relates to that class of box in
which the lid of the box is detachable from the body and has for its object to so
form the body and lid that when the lid is placed on the body the sides of the lid
and body shall be flush with one another. Hitherto this has been effected by
inserting a liner inside the body of the box and making the lid to fit over the
projecting edges of the liner. In other but less efficient methods a bead has been
formed on the body against which the edge of the lid bears, or the size of the body
of the box below and at the part where the edge of the lid fits when the lid is on
is increased. These latter arrangements give the appearance that the lid and body
are of the same size but it will be found that the lid will pass over the bottom of
the box. Also the box has a rough and unfinished appearance.
Now this invention consists of a box having the body formed out of one piece of
metal with the upper edge of its sides reduced in size so that a lid of the same size
as the body fits on the said reduced part and is flush with the unreduced portion of
the body of the box.
The accompanying drawing is a section of a round box showing the lid removed
from the body, constructed according to this invention.
The upper portion a of the body of the box is a cylinder whose diameter is less
than that of the lower portion 6 by twice the thickness of the metal of which the
lid or cover c is formed.
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 :-
A box body formed from one piece of metal and having its upper portion of a
less size than the lower substantially as described for the purpose set forth.

Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, 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:-
Our invention relates to an improved watering can and has for its objects applying
water or liquid manure to plants in a regular and efficient manner and enabling
the operator to stop the flow when desired so that the leaves of the plants are not
wetted and the liquid is distributed exactly where desired without waste.
We perform these objects by apparatus illustrated in the accompanying drawing
in which (a) is an ordinary watering can with spout (b) and handle (c). In the
upper part of the spout we insert a rubber tube (d) and we cut away a portion of
the said spout at (e) so as to expose the rubber and enable it to be pressed upon
when desired by the lever (f) which rocks upon a pin (f¹) and is actuated by a
rod (r) which is extended to the handle (c) and is guided by a support or
bearing (c).
The rod (r) has a projecting piece (r) which can be pushed by the thumb of the
operator holding the handle and when pushed forward presses down the lever (f)
upon the rubber (d) and effectually closes the orifice, thus the flow of liquid may
be stopped in an instant even when the spout is lowered for watering, no waste can
take place, and the leaves of the plants are free from the injury which so often
takes place from watering plants exposed to the sun.
It is evident that there may be many modifications and ways of applying the
pressure to the rubber tube for the lever (f) might be dispensed with and the end
of the rod (r) made to press on the rubber also that the elastic tube may be placed
on the outside of the spout and the arrangenient of the apparatus may be modified
without departing from the spirit of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is,
1. The elastic tube (d) applied to the spout of a watering can as and for the
purposes substantially as described herein and illustrated.
2. In a watering can the combination of the can (a) having spout (6) with
elastic tube (d) and presser rod (r) as and for the purposes substantially as
described herein and illustrated.
3. In a watering can the combination of the can (a) having spout (b) with
elastic tube (d) lever (ƒ) rod (r) and a handle (c) all substantially as described and
illustrated.

Improvements in the Construction of Drills.
We, JOHN WALKER, of Tempest Road, Beeston Hill, Leeds, in the County of
York, Engineer, and EDWIN LEADBEATER, of the Firm of Leadbeater and Scott,
Sheffield in the said County, Steel and File Manufacturers do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to he
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in drills used for drilling metallic
substances, and has for its object, the construction and supporting of the same in
such a manner, that drills so formed are more effective when in use, and of such
form as to free the hole being bored of the cuttings.
In order that our invention may be fully understood, we will describe the same in
detail, by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a view of our improved drill secured in position in a chuck or
drill holder.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the broad side of the drill and
Fig. 3 is an end view.
The chuck or drill holder A is of such form as is used in ordinary drilling
machines.
The drill B is formed of a parallel bar and hollowed on the two broad sides at H
for its entire length.
In order to secure the parallel drill B. in the chuck or drill holder A. we
construct two detachable packing pieces C. C. of such form as to fit the hollowed.
sides H. of the drill B. the outer surfaces in conjunction with the drill B. fill the
circular hole D. in the chuck or drill holder A. where they are secured by a set.
screw E.
One side of each packing piece C. is cut away at C' for some distance from the
end, in an angular direction, and on the said rotating packing pieces entering the
hole being drilled, they raise the cuttings out of the hole, by which the drill is kept
clearer of cuttings and therefore cooler than is the case with the drills as ordinarily
constructed.
By making the drill B: parallel in the manner as hereinbefore described, and
the packing pieces C. C. seperate and adjustable, they may be secured in the
chuck or holder A. with the point of the drill slightly in advance of the packing
pieces C. C. thus stiffening the drill to such an extent that greater pressure may be
applied for drilling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
A drill bar B. hollowed at H. H. combined with packing pieces C. C. arranged
substantially in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbefore set forth.

Improved Incandescent Mediums for Purposes of Illumination.
I, HANS HIRSCHFELD, of 62 Auguststrasse, Berlin, Druggist, 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 process forming the subject of this application, for the production of
incandescent mediums of illumination, is based on observations recently made, and
borne out by lengthy experiments, showing, that for the production of an intense
white light not only the rare elementary bodies or their combinations such as
lanthan oxide, yttrium oxide & magnesium; lanthan oxide and magnesium;
lanthan & yttriumoxide; zirconoxyd, lanthanoxide & yttrium oxide; zirconoxide
& lanthanoxide; zirconoxide & yttriumoxide; also neodymzirconium and erbin
magnesium-aluminium- and beryliumnitrate; and eventually in combination with
phosphoric acid thoroxide, and ceroxide; finally inobates, iantalates, silicates,
titanates & phosphates of therium, zirconium and magnesium either separately or in
admixture with magnesia, but also some other elementary bodies of common
occurrence, or their combinations, if suitably prepared and used in the well-known
manner, may be employed.
For the production of the incandescent medium, acetates, carbonates, nitrates or
other salts liable to decomposition by incandescent heat, either of some heavy metal
such as iron, platinum, manganese, chromium, cobalt, nickel, zinc, cadmium, tin,
lead, copper, antimony, bismuth, mercury, silver & gold or of lime in suitable
preparation are used. Solutions of such salts, concentrated to a certain degree, are
made to saturate some absorbent or other suitable combustible or incombustible,
organic or inorganic filaments, or fibres, which, made up singly or combined into
simple or variegated tissues, are then arranged so as to completely surround a non-
luminous or opaque flame. Through the intense heat emitted by such a flame,—
whether generated by gas or any other illuminant, the combustible combinations
present, in a state of fine distribution, on and within the tissue, will be converted
into incombustible ones and if the tissue itself be of combustible material, will
coalesce or concrete while retaining the original shape and conformation of the
tissues.
The residue, under the influence of an opaque flame, will emit a brilliant,
incandescent 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 :-
The production of an incandescent medium of illumination, by means of suitably
arranged organic or inorganic filaments or fibres, prepared with salts, of lime or
heavy metals, which are converted by incandescence, into non-combustible com-
binations retaining the previous solid form and shape.

An Improved Metal Flower Rack or Holder.
I, JAMES MARTIN, of 95, Southampton Street, Reading, in the County of
Berks, Florist, 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 an improved flower rack or holder for supporting cut
flowers in deep or open top vessels, and it consists of a base plate attached to wires
by means of which it may be suspended in the mouth or neck of a vase or other
vessel, and of a perforated disc or discs also supported upon the suspending
wires.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved rack or holder; and,
Figure 2 is a vertical section representing the said rack or holder applied in the
mouth of a vessel.
is the base plate of my holder, b, b are the suspending wires, the upper ends of
which as shewn are made of hook-shape in order to engage with the upper edge
of the vessel c, and d, d are the two perforated discs carried upon the wires b, b, the
Baid discs as shewn being composed of wire-netting. The wires b, b are preferably
pliable to admit of varying the height of the base plate relative with the top of the
vessel.
-
It will be obvious that flowers can be readily arranged in my holder by passing
the stems through the perforations of the discs d, d so that their ends rest upon the
base a as shewn in Figure 2. In practice the edge of the base a is advantageously
flanged as at e to prevent the ends of the stems from slipping off the said base.
Flowers may be arranged in my improved rack or holder before the latter is
placed in the vase.
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 flower rack or holder having a solid base and a perforated disc or discs
carried upon wires by means of which the rack or holder is suspended substantially

Figure 4 is a detail of a section on line z of Figure 3.
The improved closet pan is manufactured wholly of chamotte (refractory clay)
and is open at the top but provided with an upwardly extending back D partly
covered in.
The lower extremity of the pan is provided with a preferably screw-threaded
nozzle by which it is secured to the drain pipe. The two sides form with each
other an acute angle the apex of which is at the front. A recess f in each side is
provided to receive the seat or strips S see Figures 1 and 4.
Two openings O near the floor are intended to drain off the water when washing
the floor.
The improved closet pan is especially adapted to be used in places where a great
number of workmen are employed such as factories and the like, as it is not easily
soiled and may be rinsed by simply pouring a pailful of water down it.
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 closet pan having two sides forming with each other an acute angle with
the apex at the front recesses such as for the insertion of the closet seat or strips S
and having the back D extended upwards and partly closed in so as to form a rest.
and drain holes at the floor level substantially as described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Gear for Transmitting Rotary Motion.
I CARL HAMANN, of Rheinbeck in the Empire of Germany, of no occupation,
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 gearing is adapted for the transmission of great power and comprises a
rotarily journalled wheel or disc a having on each side near its periphery rollers r, r
turning on gudgeons i, i, those on the one side standing in an intermediate
position to those on the other side. The gearing further comprises a double
tappet turning on a single shaft m, the two tappets being spirally shaped and
situated one on each side of the wheel so as to come in contact with the rollers of
the respective wheel sides as is shown in the accompanying drawing. The shape of
the tappets is so constructed that as soon as the one of them, b, leaves the roller r
which it has driven forward, the other, ', on the other side of the wheel comes into
contact with the roller and drives the latter forward, whereupon the first tappet
again comes into contact with a roller and so on. There must in any case be an
absolutely uniform movement of the wheel a.
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--
A gearing, consisting of a rotarily journalled wheel a provided on both sides
near the periphery with rollers ", turning on gudgeons, i, i, those on the one
side bearing alternate positions to those on the other side; and furthermore
consisting of a double tappet b, b, turning on a common axle m, the two tappets
being spirally shaped and adapted to come in contact successively with the
rollers r, r, on each side of the wheel, and thus drive the wheel with a uniform
movement.
