Year: 1839

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JAMES
BOGARDUS, of Trinity Square; Tower Hill; in the City of London, Gentleman,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Twenty-sixth day of August, in the third year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
James Bogardus, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and authority,
that I, the said James Bogardus, my exors, admors, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said James Bogardus, my exors, admors, or assigns, should at
any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times during
the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick, my
Invention of "IMPROVED MEANS OF APPLYING LABELS, STAMPS, OR MARKS TO
LETTERS AND OTHER SUCH DOCUMENTS;" in which said Letters Patent is con-
tained a proviso that I, the said James Bogardus, shall cause a particular
description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of
the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being
thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
James Bogardus, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and

page_text: the manner in which the same is to be performed, are particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof (that is to say) :-
The object of my Invention is to annex a stamped or engraved label to a
letter or other document by means of the seal, thus avoiding the use of adhesive
or gummed labels. The label, whether of paper or parchment, may be of any
size or shape, and if it be required to affix one to a letter by means of a wafer,
let the wafer cover a portion of the label, and the rest of the wafer will seal
the letter; the same may be done with wax. But a better method is to cut
or pierce a hole in the label, which hole being placed where the wafer or wax
is placed to seal the letter, the act of sealing the letter affixes the label, and
this method may be applied to any document whatever.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Bogardus, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-sixth day of February, in the year of our

Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said John

Her said Majesty's Colonics and Plantations abroad, my Invention of "IM-
PROVEMENTS IN SHEATING SHIPS AND OTHER VESSELS;" in which said Letters Patent
is contained a proviso that I, the said John Norton, shall cause a particular
description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the samo
is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chan-
cery within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the
said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being
thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
John Norton, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement thereof (that is to say):-
The Invention relates to a mode of sheathing the bottoms of ships and
vessels by electricity in place of the ordinary methods now adopted. The
principal of applying galvanic currents for the deposition of metals being well
known, it will not be necessary for me here to give any description of it.
I will only observe, that the bottom of the vessel to be sheathed should be
previously covered with a varnish or coating of resin or other suitable material;
this vessel is then to be put into a solution of copper or other suitable metal,
by applying the galvanic currents, as is well known. The metal deposits itself
upon the sides of the vessel. The thickness of this sheathing may be regulated
by the ordinary means.
I would have it understood, that what I claim as my Invention is the mode
of sheathing ships and vessels by the application of galvanic currents to
solutions of copper or other metals herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Norton, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and forty-two.

AN IMPROVEMENT OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE DETACHED LEVER WATCH
Year: 1841

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
WALKER the elder, of Standish Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
Watch Finisher, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters Patent
under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-third day of June now last past,
did give and grant unto.me, the said William Walker, Her especial licence,
full power, sole privilege, and authority, that I, the said William Walker, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Williamı
Walker, my executors, administrators, or assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during
the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-
upon-Tweed; my Invention of "AN IMPROVEMENT OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF THE DETACHED LEVER WATCH;" in which said Letters Patent
there is contained a proviso, obliging me, the said William Walker, by an
instrument in writing under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and
ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, and to cause the same to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's
High Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference
being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
William Walker, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention,

page_text: and the manner in which the same is to be performed, is particularly
described and ascertained in and by the Drawing hereto annexed, and as
follows, that is to say:-
My Invention consists in an improved form of the escapement, which is
shewn by Figure 2 in the Drawing. Instead of making the escapement in
the old form, as seen in Figure 1, with sharp pins or teeth acting upon a
square substance, as at a, I make the teeth or pins in the shape shewn in
Figure 2; the recesses or spaces between the teeth forming portions of circles,.
the ends or tops of the teeth or pins being of an angular shape, lowest at the
side where the tooth first touches the lever, and inclining upwards at an angle
of about twenty-five degrees till it reaches the other side. These angular teeth,
instead of working against a square substance, as in Fig. 1, act upon round
pins moveable on an axis fixed upon the lever, as shewn.at b, in Figure 2.
The peculiar advantages of my Invention are, that it lessens friction,. and
also enables me to do away with banking pins, which, in the old mode of
constructing the escapement, cannot be dispensed with.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Walker, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of December, One thousand eight
hundred and forty one
