1, REGINALD HADDAN, of the firm of Herbert & Co., Patent Agents, of 67, Strand,
London, in the County of Middlesex, Civil 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 :-
:-
The present invention has for its object to provide a simple, effective, and practical
mold for casting and securing the diamonds in lathe, hand, or other tools; and it
consists in the details of construction, substantially as shown in the drawings, and
hereinafter described and claimed.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my improved mold, showing the
two side sections connected together and the end section removed therefrom. Fig. 2
is a vertical section taken centrally through the complete mold, the same being
adapted for forming lathe-tools; and Fig. 3, a similar view of a mold adapted for
forming hand-tools.
The mold is composed of three sections, A B in the accompanying drawings
representing the two side sections, and C the end section, the two side sections being
held together by screws or other well-known fastenings, and are formed upon one end
with rabbeted edges a, in which fit flanges on the mold section C.
This section has a mortise, c, to form a seat for the carbon or diamond, as shown
at d, and is held therein by a wire loop, e, as shown, the matrix of the mold being of
a form to correspond with that of the tool to be cast.
I use a piece of wire extending around the carbon or diamond and passing through
perforations in the end section, C, and the extremities of said wire are twisted
together, thereby forming a wire-loop fastening, the ends of which may be broken off
after the tool has been cast and the diamond secured thereto so that a portion of the
latter will project beyond the tool.

page_text: These diamond-tools are of the kind in ordinary use, and are employed for turning
off and truing emery-wheels, grindstones, granite rollers, and for like purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said invention as
communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the same is to
be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
First The combination, with a mold for diamond-tools, having a recess for the
body portion, of a wire loop located at the end of the said recess for holding the
diamond in position during the casting operation, substantially as set forth.
Second-In a mold for casting or forming diamond-tools, the combination, with two
side sections, of a detachable end section provided with a mortised seat and per-
forations through it and means for holding said diamond to the seat, which consists of
a wire extending around the same, passed through the perforations, and having its
extremities twisted together, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

page_text: I, DUDLEY S. SEYMOUR, of Hartford, Connecticut, one of the United States of
America, machinist, 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 is a holder to clasp and retain the cutting tool of a lathe, planer or
other machine in which such a tool is used.
Figure 1 is a side view of the tool holder and the tool. Figure 2 is an end view;
and Figure 3 is a top view of the same. Figure 4 is a side view of the stock of the
tool-holder; and Figure 5 is a section of the eye of the eye-bolt, on the dotted line of
Figure 2.
A is the stock of the tool holder. It is bifurcated by the slot B, and is provided
with the diagonal crossed grooves C and D on one of its sides, and across that slot.
E is an eye-bolt. Those portions of the interior of its eye which are shown on
Figure 5, constitute crossed grooves, the bottoms of which are denoted by the
letters F and G, respectively. The eye-bolt is also provided with the washer H, and
the nut I. J is the tool, cut or broken from a square or round steel rod of commerce,
and made without any other operation, except being ground to points as shown.
The mode of adjustment consists simply in placing the tool in the eye of the eye-
bolt, and in either of the grooves C and D, and then in turning up the nut as far as
possible. The eye-bolt thus draws that portion of the tool which is between the two
parts of the groove occupied by it, and thus holds the tool more rigidly than would be
possible if that groove were continuous throughout its length.
When the tool is in the groove C, in the position shown in Figure 1, its upper end
is adapted to left hand work; that is to say, is adapted to work toward the eye of the
beholder. To adapt the tool to right hand work, it is taken out of the groove C,
turned half way around on its longitudinal axis, placed in the groove D, with its
lower end still downward, and then turned with the stock A half way around on the
longitudinal axis of the latter.

page_text: The special utility of this tool-holder resides in the fact that it will rigidly hold a
tool, made from a steel rod, of square, round or other cross section, without special
fitting, combined with the fact that the tool holder itself is cheap, strong and simple.
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 combination of the stock A, provided with the slot B; and the eye-bolt E,
passing through that slot; the two parts being so constructed and combined that the
eye-bolt holds the tool rigidly in a groove extending across the side of the stock, and
across the slot B; all substantially as described.

i SAMUEL WORSENCROFT of Poynton in the County of Chester Plumber do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN WATERCLOSET BOWLS" and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the earthenware bowls or basins of waterclosets, and the
object of the invention is to ventilate such bowls so as to prevent any effluvia from
arising therefrom.
The nature of my said invention will be readily understood on reference to the
annexed sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference corresponding with those
in the following explanation thereof.
Fig. 1. on the annexed drawing is a section of a watercloset bowl or basin made
according to my improved plan and Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modified form
thereof.
Round the top edge of the bowl or basin a, a (Fig. 1.) I form an air chamber or
channel b, from which a short pipe at c, c leads to an air shaft which is open above
to the atmosphere.
Outside the basin a, a in front thereof are openings at d, d to admit air into the
channel b, b which will cause a current through the air channel and short pipe c, c,
into the air shaft, and this will draw all effluvia and foul air from the interior of the
bowl or basin a, a through the openings e, e at the back, into the air channel as shown
by the arrows, and thus the bowl or basin will be kept thoroughly ventilated and all
escape of effluvia will be prevented.
In the modification shown at Fig. 2 the air chamber or channel b, b only extends
round the back of the bowl or basin, and the air is admitted thereto at the front by
means of a pipe at each side, the front end of which is open.
9, 9 in both Figs. is the water supply pipe and h, h the flushing plate.

page_text: In some cases in order further to prevent the escape of effluvia between the upper
rim of the bowl or basin and the wooden seat I insert a sheet or strip of pliable india
rubber between the two.
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 with a watercloset bowl of an air channel passing wholly or
partially round the upper edge thereof in connection with an air shaft; the said air
channel being perforated in the manner shown on the drawings whereby the said bowl
or basin is thoroughly ventilated and all escape of effluvia prevented.

for the working parts.

page_text: ALFRED ADAM BAYLISS, Lock Maker Horseley Fields Wolverhampton in the
County of Stafford do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to bo performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
Lock bolts as usually constructed are formed out of solid metal plates. Such lock
bolts possess strength proportionate to the weight and thickness of metal used-so
that in cases where great strength is required much of the space (often valuable in
the interior of the locks) is engrossed to the detriment of the working parts.
Now according to this invention, which consists in the use of H shaped metal for
a tail bolt heads of great strength are used with tails of H shaped metal which gives
more strength than the ordinary solid inetal plate bolts-whilst the grooves in the
Hshaped metal tails yields most of the space in the interior of lock for working
parts which is lost when ordinary solid metal bolts are used.
This invention is illustrated by the drawings left with the provisional specification.
A lock bolt consists of head and tail. The tail by reference to the drawings-will
be seen is made of H shaped metal-the grooves in this metal afford additional space
for the working parts in the locks-also gives greater strength than the ordinary lock
bolt.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention,

We FREDERICK ELTON of H.M.S. "Ajax," Chatham, Lieutenant Royal Navy, and
JAMES BARBER, of H.M.S. "Ajax" Chatham, Engineers Royal Navy 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 our invention is to provide improved means for holding down the
band of a necktie, when upon the wearer, and thus preventing its rising on the collar,
whilst leaving it free for longitudinal adjustment.
For this purpose, we make a spring clip or holder of peculiar form or construction,
attachable to the back or sides of the collar and having a depending piece or hook,
behind or through which the band of the tie is to be passed.
The said clip or holder can be made of any suitable metal or other material and of
any desired size.,
Our improved clip or holder is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
which
Figure 1 is an edge view of the said clip or holder, and
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the said clip in position on a collar, a part of
the said collar and the band of the necktie being shown in section.
a is the clip or holder which has a spring for gripping the collar c as shown in
Figure 2, and thus retaining the said clip or holder in place thereon. The said clip
or holder is, moreover, formed with a depending piece or hook d which engages with
the band of the necktie as shown in Figure 2.
It will be seen that the improved clip or holder can be adjusted upon the collar to
any desired position at the back or sides thereof, and that, although the band of the
necktie is free to move longitudinally, it is prevented from rising on the collar by the
hook d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed we wish it understood that
we are aware that various clips, or holders have been devised for holding down the
bands of neckties, we therefore do not claim broadly a clip or holder for this purpose,
but we claim :-
The improved clip or holder having the spring and hook substantially as described
with reference to the accompanying drawing for the purposes specified.

We, DRIVER SUNDERLAND ROBERTSHAW and ROLAND FORSTER SUNDERLAND
Electrical Engineers, of The Victoria Electric Works, Raven Street Halifax, in the

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
For improvements in means or material employed for insulating electric currents
applicable to insulating various parts of electrical instruments or machines to be as
follows.
Our invention is applicable to insulating various parts of electrical instruments or
machines.
The means hitherto employed have been by what is generally known as vulcanized
fibre, or vulcanized India rubber placed between the different parts of electrical
instruments or machines to be insulated from one another.
Both these plans are costly and wasteful. Our invention relates to the substitution
and employment for electrical insulating purposes-of paper sheet or board, in place
of vulcanized fibre, or Vulcanized India Rubber of sufficient thickness required for the
insulation required to insulate the different parts of electrical instruments or
machines. In practice we find this means equally durable and at less than half cost,
and all the waste materials can be re-softened and used up again, whereas, with

page_text: THOMAS WILLIAM BRAY, 76 Burghley Road, Kentish Town London N.W. Bath
Manager, 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 of improvements of and in an apparatus for flushing Closet
basins and to prevent waste of water.
The means I adopt for effecting the above purpose consist of a cistern divided into
two compartments by the division J. One of the compartments contain a water tight
chamber B. and syphon C. The water tight chamber B has a tube F connected to
the botton thereof. There is also a smaller tube connected to the bottom of the
cistern A. The tube F passes over the tube connected to cistern A forming a guide
for and holding the water tight chamber B in position. The water tight chamber B
is lowered by means of a cord, chain or wire passing through the tubes and connected
to tube F. When the water tight chamber B is lowered the pressure closes the
flap D and at the same time causes the water to rise over the top of syphon C. thereby
bringing the syphon C into action discharging contents of cistern A. The ball H in
falling opens supply K the inflowing water passing through the division J by forcing
the flap open causes the water tight chamber B to rise thereby charging the
apparatus for future action. The flap D may be composed of india-rubber, leather,
metal or other suitable material and connected to the divisions J by means of a bolt,
hinge or any method allowing the flap D to move freely. And in order that my said
invention may be properly understood I append reference to the annexed drawings
where the same letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the figures referring to
the drawings accompanying my provisional specification.

Specification Accepted, 8th Nov., 1887
An Improved Safety Bolt for Fastening Windows, Doors, and
Casements.
I JAMES SAVAGE of 11 Avonmore Road West Kensington London in the County
of Middlesex Physician and Surgeon do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for EASILY AND SECURELY FASTENING WINDOW SASHES CASEMENTS AND DOORS 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 two distinct parts which I shall call for the purpose of
description a box staple part and a bolt part the former in the case of window sashes
to be fixed to the bar of the upper sash and the latter or bolt part to be fixed to the
bar of the lower sash V. The box staple about one inch in length is riveted on to a
brass plate two inches by one inch and this is fixed by 4 wood screws to the bar of the
sash-The box staple prevents the bolt from being acted on from without by any
instrument. The bolt part is composed of a back plate with a stop attached 2 inch
× 1a front plate a side plate with a spring fixed to it by a screw two pillars and a
bolt into which is screwed a knob. The side plate is inch wide inch thick &
12 long. It is fixed to the back plate by three rivets and to the front plate by two
rivets. The pillars are inch long and 4 inch diameter square. They are riveted to
the front and back plates. Thus it will appear that the back front side plate and
pillars together form a barrel in which the bolt works. The spring about an inch
long is fixed by a screw to the inner surface of the side plate and acts in a certain
manner on the bolt which I shall now describe. The bolt is an oblong parallelogram
of solid metal 1 inch long and inch square. About inch from the end and in the
front surface a knob is screwed for the easy working of the bolt in the barrel. In
the side surface of the bolt and immediately beneath the knob is sharply cut a groove
or notch inch deep and inch wide into which one of the pillars accurately fits.
When the bolt is propelled the action of the spring causes the pillar to become locked
in the notch when the notch has become parallel with the pillar. When thus locked
the Juice or ruip from Lemons and other like Fruit.

1, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S. of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, Lord Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High
Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Civil 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 :-
Apparatus or implements at present in use for squeezing lemons and other fruit, or
extracting the juice or pulp therefrom, are at present usually constructed of two parts
jointed or hinged together. When in operation the two parts are brought together su
as to exert a pressure on the fruit, and thus expel the juice therefrom.
This invention is designed with the object of producing a simple apparatus or
implement, and one which can be used without the exertion necessary with those
above referred to.
It consists essentially of an implement constructed with a head having flutes with
sharp external angles of contour corresponding to that of a lemon or other fruit when
cut in two, transversely.
It will be easily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings :-

page_text: A is a handle by which it is held or grasped by the hand of the user, B is the head.
The head B is pressed into the half lemon, and rotated or not, at the pleasure of the
user while the half lemon or other fruit is held in the hand or if preferred in a basin
By this tool
with shallow internal ribs to prevent the lemon rotating with the tool.
nearly the entire contents of the lemon or other fruit can be extracted in a pulpy
form, or the juice very thoroughly extracted without the solid matter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my
foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The lemon or other fruit squeezing tool, substantially as shown and illustrated.
2nd. In a lemon or other fruit squeezer the employment or use of a convex tool or
knob pressed into the fruit and formed with a series of flutings, serrations or sharp
projections, substantially as described.
