A New or Improved Holder for the Guards of Carving Forks.
I WILLIAM LAWRENCE FOSTER, of 8, Stafford Terrace, Kensington,
London, W. Gentleman, 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 a new or improved holder for the guards of carving
forks, and has for its object to prevent these guards from falling down whilst
carving, owing to the spring being worn out, which spring however may according
to my invention, be entirely dispensed with.
In the accompanying drawings,.
Fig. 1 is a view of a carving fork provided with my improved holder.
Fig. 2 is a separate view of the said holder.
This improved holder which has the shape clearly shown in Fig. 2, is furnished
with a slot band with two legs c and d, being slightly convex near the top as shown
in Fig. 1.
The same is inade preferably of steel or other metal so as to have a certain
amount of resiliency.
When the holder is required to be placed in position on the guard of the
carving fork, F, this guard is passed through the slot of the said holder which is
subsequently slipped downwards until the legs c and d abut against the shoulder s
formed at the base of the fork F.
In this manner the device holds the guard firmly in position, there being no
possibility of its slipping down.
When the fork is no further required for use, the holder is pushed up along the
guard ! and removed and replaced thereon, being made to assume the position
shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, so that the fork may be conveniently stored away.
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 improved holder for the guards of carving forks, arranged substantially as
herein described and shown, and for the purpose set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tobacco Pouch.
I RICHARD GORTON BARLOW of Old Trafford Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Cricketer, 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 the manufacture of india rubber tobacco
pouches, and has for its object to produce a tobacco pouch which shall be self-closing,
and which is of a more compact form, and can be produced at a less cost than those
hitherto manufactured.
The nature of the said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to
the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
Figs. 1 and 2 on the drawings are diagrams illustrating the method of cutting and
forming the improved tobacco pouch, and
Figs. 3 and 4 are front and edge views of the same when completed.
The invention consists principally in the manufacture of a flat tobacco pouch,
having a self-closing end or flap, substantially in the manner hereinafter described.
First I take two pieces of sheet rubber of about the desired width of the pouch
and of a suitable length, and of a rectangular form as shown by the outline a, b, c, d,
on Fig. 1 and laying them one over the other, after rounding off the top from a to b¹
I cement the edges together c, a', 'd, leaving the bottom from c to d open, and
forming a kind of pocket.
A slit is then cut down from e to f which eventually forms the mouth of the
pouch.
The pocket is now opened out and creased or doubled in the direction so as to
bring the seams a' c and d into the centre at the back and front as shown by the
dotted line in Fig. 2. I now turn over the double flap at the top pressing one part
underneath or inside the other which will bring it into the form shown at f, e, f,
Fig. 3, thus making the self-closing flap or top, the mouth of which is then bound
round the edges to give it additional strength.
The bottom is then rounded off and cemented together at the edges from y to h
as shown at Fig. 3 and the pouch is complete.
The pouch is then put under a press to cause it to retain the desired shape, after
which it is vulcanized in the usual manner, by preference mouth 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 :-
The improved tobacco pouch with a self-closing flap or end manufactured sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.

An Improved Method of Ornamenting Glass.
I WILL JAMES of 72 Willes Road Kentish Town, London, Stained Glass
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 invention has for its object the production of a certain ornamentation of
glass for the purpose of windows, screens and other objects such ornamentation
consisting of a stained brilliant cut (the stain being on the same side of the glass
as the brilliant cut) with ground glass as a back ground.
I take plain glass and on it I cut a pattern by the process known in the trade as
brilliant cut.
I then cover the glass or that part of it where the brilliant cut pattern has been
made all over without regard to the pattern on the side on which the brilliant ent
is made in the manner usually adopted in the trade for staining glass. Stain is a
known terin in the manufacture of colored glass.
I then scrape the glass all over with a knife thus removing the stain except on
the pattern of the brilliant cut which having been indented in the glass escapes the
action of the knife used to scrape with.
I then fire the glass and thus fix the stain on the pattern of the brilliant cut.
I then grind the glass in the usual manner the pattern of the brilliant cut
escaping the grinding process by reason of the fact that it is indented.
The result of the above processes is to produce a glass having on it brilliant cut
pattern stained on the same side as the brilliant cut with ground glass as a back
ground.
The above process of staining the glass all over and scraping off the stain so as
to leave the pattern of the brilliant cut stained is novel and has never before been
adopted for the purpose in question.
The application of the above processes in sequence and in order as above stated
is novel.
The result attained is due to the above novelties.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The application in sequence and in order as above stated of the processes
above stated including as one of such series of processes the process of staining all
over the glass and scraping all over leaving the pattern only stained as above
stated.

WILLIAM HIGHFIELD JONES, WILLIAM HALL JONES and BENJAMIN
HIGHFIELD JONES of Ablow Street Wolverhampton Japanners, Iron and Tin-
plate Workers and Enamellers trading as Jones Brothers and Company Ablow
Street Wolverhampton. We 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 provides a new method of making candlesticks so as to prevent
waste of room in packing candlesticks for export.
The socket A which is intended to hold the candle is made separate from the
candlestick bottom B.
A number of the sockets can be packed by themselves into a small space, and the
candlestick bottoms can be packed by themselves, by this arrangement about half
the space can be saved in the package.
Thus at the lower end of the socket A is fixed the half of a screw S. The other
half of the screw S is fixed into the candlestick bottom B.
When the candlestick is required for use or otherwise the socket can be fixed and
refixed at pleasure. For the same purpose instead of a screw a ferrule F can be
fixed on the socket E and a little larger ferrule fixed on the bottom G so that the
socket can be slipped into the bottom, and removed at pleasure.
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:
Part of the screw being fixed on the socket of the candlestick, with the other
part on the bottom, or a ferrule as above described prevents waste room in packing
for export.

A Combined Non-corrosive and Water Waste-preventing Cistern for
Water Closets.
I, CHARLES EDWARD HARWOOD, of Strangeways, Manchester, Painter and
Decorator, 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 :-
This invention has for its object the combination of a non-corrosive with a single
chambered water waste preventing cistern for water closets.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view of my improved cistern and water waste-
preventing fittings and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the cistern only.
In performing my invention I cast or mould the non-corrosive body A of my
improved cistern of a mixture consisting of Portland cement, Parian cement and
gravel in the proportion of about 2 parts Portland cement, part Parian cement
and part gravel or a preparation of Portland cement and gravel or Parian
cement and gravel only in the proportions of about 2 parts Portland or Pariau
cement and I part gravel, a solution of soda being used with each preparation.
Worked into these mixtures whilst in the mould is a body of wire netting B
which occupies the position indicated more clearly in Fig. 2 and which serves to
give coherence to the mixture.
The water waste-preventing arrangement of this improved cistern consists in
forming the same with one chamber only thus dispensing with the extra valve and
midfeather as required in double chambered cisterns the ball float valve C being
closed at the instance of raising or opening the flushing out valve D thus allowing
only the capacity of the chamber to be discharged at each operation. The link E
serves to connect the lever arm with the valve D and lift it off its seating when
the operating lever F is pulled down whilst the link G attached at one end to
the lever arm H and passed loosely around the ball-float valve rod I serves when
pulled up by the operating lever F to hold the ball-float up and keep the valve
closed.
Having thus 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 :-
1st. A single chambered non-corrosive water closet cistern in combination with
water waste- preventing fittings substantially as hereinbefore described and illus-
trated on the accompanying drawing.

This invention for improvements in the manufacture of lucifer and other matches
made, of wood, cotton or other combustible or suitable material has for its object to
increas the usefulness as lighting agents of lucifer and other matches by a hundred
per cent. without any material increase in either their bulk or in the cost of their
manufacture and consists in tipping both ends of the said matches with the igniting
composition so that when one end of a match has been struck it is still retained until
the other end also has been struck.
It will be seen that the usefulness of a match constructed according to this
invention is double that of an ordinary match as at present manufactured whilst its
bulk is only increased by the extra igniting composition on the other end and its
cost is only increased by the cost of the said extra composition which bears a very
small proportion indeed to the total cost.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

statement :-
This invention relates to protectors for watches, chains, purses & other articles
carried in the pocket. I fix a metal plate or bar at the back of the pocket with
two tabs pressed through the pocket having two rings attached, to one I fix a ring
& to the other a chain with a swivel to which any article can be made fast.
Explanatory of Figure 1 A is the metal plate before mentioned, as being at the
back of the pocket. B are the tabs which are pressed through the back of the
pocket, being really a continuation of the ends of the plate. C are the rings which
are fixed to the aforesaid tabs after the said tab has passed through the material of
the pocket. D is the chain & E is the swivel, which are attached to the right hand
ring (C). The chain is of sufficient length to allow the wearer after he has
attached his watch to the swivel (E) to remove the watch from his pocket for
any purpose whatsoever, without discomfort or inconvenience. The ring on the
left hand (C) of drawing in Fig. 1 is for the purpose of having the watch-chain of
the wearer attached to it, so as to prevent the said watch-chain from swinging
loose from the pocket. Although designed more especially for watches, the
invention is adapted to protect any article (such as purses etc. that can be affixed
to the swivel, by rings, catches, loops etc.) that is carried in the pocket.
The protector is placed through the vest from the back so as to come directly

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lead Chambers used in the Manufacture of
Sulphuric Acid.
We, KONRAD WALTER, of 8 Via Silvio Pellico, Milan, in the Kingdom of
Italy, Chemical Engineer, and ERNST BOENIG of Bad Nauheim in the German
Empire, Manufacturer of Fire-proof and Acid-proof Goods, 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 the lead chambers employed in the manufacture of
sulphuric acid and its objects are to increase the production in a simple manner by
simple means, and to reduce the consumption of saltpetre.
These improvements are effected by means which ensure the more perfect and
continuous circulation of the gases within the chamber. This result is produced by
means of double walls which are built right across the chamber, the materials
employed in the construction being of course, acid-proof. The cavities between
the double walls are filled with suitable acid-proof materials such as brick or coke
and the like. The walls are provided with openings over the whole width of the
chamber in such a manner that, for example, the front part of the wall has
the openings at the top, and the back part has the openings at the bottom, or the
reverse. By this arrangement the larger portion of the gases and vapours are
compelled to traverse vertically the whole length of the filling materials in the
cavity of the double wall, and at the same time, some portions may penetrate
horizontally, following the natural draught through cracks and joints in the walls,
and mix again with those which are ascending or descending between the walls.
As a result, a constant intermixture and circulation of the gases and vapours is
continually taking place within the chamber.
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 construction and arrangement in sulphuric acid chambers, of double walls in
the cavities of which acid-proof materials are inserted, and in which openings are
provided for the passage of the gases vertically through the cavities, substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Envelopes.
I, SAMSON PARSONS of Holsworthy Devon Auctioneer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what inanner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide an easy and ready means for opening
envelopes. To this end I lay along the entire length of the crease or fold between
the flap and the envelope proper, a piece of stout thread, one end of which is
secured in the envelope and after traversing the whole length of the crease along
which it is gummed down a free end is left over at the other end of envelope
about inch long. In order that my invention may be more fully understood,
will now proceed to describe the figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed
in which like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout.
Figure is a sketch of my improved envelope showing the flap open and Fig. 2
is a sketch of the same showing the flap gummed down, and the thread pulled in
such a manner as cuts the flap from the envelope. In Figure 1A is the envelope,
B the flap and C the thread gummed along the crease forined between the flap and
the body of the envelope. The end of this thread at D may be threaded through
the body of the envelope with a small knot if deemed necessary, but in practice
I have found that it is not required, it being simply sufficient to gum or paste the
thread along the crease as shown. The free end of the thread C is marked E. In
Figure 2 the thread C' has been pulled against the crease between the flap and the
envelope with the result that the flap will be cut open from end to end. It will be
casily understood that my invention provides an easy and ready method of opening
envelopes which will be very acceptable to business men with a large correspondence
coming to their hand.
Having now fully 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 :-
An improved envelope substantially as herein before described in this Specification,
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Double Clip Fork Elevators.
I HUMPHREY KING of 147 High Street Tewkesbury in the County of
Gloucester Implement Maker 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:-
Double clip fork elevators are now formed of a pair of wrought iron or steel forks
having the points of their prongs bent into a partly circular form & with the stems
of the forks crossed & joined together where they cross by a bolt & nut A, a cast
plate of iron is placed between the two fork stems B at the joint, and at the
bottom of the cast plate are two flanges C upon which the stems of the clips rest
when the prongs of the two forks nearly meet one another, and at the top of the
cast plate is a loop D to which a lifting chain or rope is attached, two long links E
are joined to the butt ends of the stems of the two forks & the other ends of the
links are joined to a circular casting having a hole through it F and through which
the lifting chain or rope is passed. At the present time clips of this kind are
opened whenever required by pressure being brought to bear on the circular
casting, at the same time the chain or rope attached to the loop is pulled
upwards.
In order to provide for the more ready opening of the clips I join a lever G to
the butt end of one of the stems of the forks and the end of the lower arm of this
lever I couple by a link H to the stem of the other fork, to the upper end of the
lever I attach a cord I & lead it down nearly in a vertical direction through an
eye at the bottom of the cast plate above mentioned so that the forks may be
moved away from one another by pulling on the cord. The opening of the clips
may also be done by pressure upon the circular casting as heretofore.
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
A new lever arrangement by which the clips of elevators can be opened by the
pulling of a cord.

Improvements in or connected with Brushes for Removing Dust,
Mud, and other Matter from Clothing, Boots, and other Articles.
I, PAUL BRENNICKE, of Heinestrasse, 10, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Sculptor, 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 present invention is an improved means for removing dust,
mud, and other matter from clothing, boots, and other articles more easily than
heretofore, and without soiling the hands of the user.
Such means consists in the case of a boot brush in the application of a knife-
shaped scraper to one side of the brush which serves, before using the brush, to
remove the bulk of the mud from the boot to be cleaned. The scraper is
illustrated in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings in plan and elevation, and is
marked d, and its attachment to the woodwork e of the brush is effected by means
of its point a which is driven therein, and the side screw b.
A clothes brush provided with a scraping surface according to this invention is
illustrated in Figures 2, 3, and 4. The scraper shewn in Figure 2 consists of a
furrowed strip of brass or other suitable metal which extends over the back of the
brush, the sides of the furrow h forming two sharp ridges or scrapers. On the
right hand side of the figure these ridges are shewn provided with serrations g.
These strips of metal are attached to the woodwork of the brush by the screws c.
Figure 3 shews a similar scraper arranged round the sides and ends of the brush;
and Figure 4 illustrates two wooden scrapers which are attached to the back of the
brush. On the left hand side of Figure 4 the scraper is shewn grooved in a
single direction, and on the right hand side it is grooved in two directions at right
angles to each other.
It will be evident that by the use of a combined brush and scraper according to
this invention, the cleaning of clothes, boots, and other articles is effected with
great ease and without soiling the hands of the user.
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 improvement substantially as herein described in or connected with brushes,
that is to say, a brush comprising a bristles surface and a scraper or a scraping
surface, as set forth and shewn in the drawings hereto annexed.

An Improved Tourniquet for Surgical, Ambulance, and other
Purposes.
I, MOSES MULLOWNEY, of No. 31, Spring Street, Preston, in the County of
Lancaster, Carpenter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
My invention consists of an improved button or pad for use with an india-rubber
or other elastic cord as ligature.
The ligature usually passes through a hole made in the button for the purpose,
and a groove is formed on the back of the button to fasten the end of the
ligature.
In my improved button I form two or more such grooves. By this means the
ligature can be fastened with absolute security, and can if desired be passed twice
or oftener round the limb thus greatly increasing the available pressure on the
artery or other organ.
If it is desired to take one turn only round the limb, the ligature is secured by
being placed first in one groove and turned back into the second, besides being
passed round itself between the grooves.
If two turns are desired, the end of each turn is placed in one of the grooves.
The grooves are formed with narrow openings to prevent the ligature from
rising out of them.
