A New or Improved Device for Opening Tins and the like.
I, JOHN THOMAS MURRAY, of 84 High Street, Sheerness-on-Sea, in the County
of Kent, Ironmonger, 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 tin opener and has for its object to
produce a handy tool by means of which tins can be more readily cut open than
heretofore without any danger of injury to the hand of the operator such as occurs
constantly with the tools ordinarily in use.
In carrying my invention into practice, I provide a tool consisting of a shank or
stem for insertion into a wood or other handle and surmounted by a body termi-
nating with two blades one at each side of the said body, these blades having
preferably a tapered shape and bevilled cutting edges which terminate with
a point.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figures 1. and 2 are two views at right angles of my improved tin opener,
Figure 3 shewing the same provided with a handle and ready for use.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures.
The tin opener consists of a stem a for insertion in the handle of a body b
surmounted with two blades d having bevilled cutting edges and terminated with a
point as clearly shewn in the figures.
To open a tin, the tool is seized by the handle and one of the blades is inserted
in the tin, the other blade bearing against the side thereof, when by pushing the
tool forward and imparting an oscillation motion, to it the first mentioned blade
will easily and promptly cut into the tin without any apparent effort,
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim, is:
The improved tin opener arranged substantially as herein described and shewn.

Improved Manufacture of Paper or Cardboard resembling
Leather.
A communication by THE GÖPPINGER PAPIERFABRIK, G. KREEM, of Göppingen,
in the Empire of Germany, Paper Manufacturers.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S. M.I.M.E. of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors 6, Lord Street Liverpool and 6, Bank Street
Manchester both in the County of Lancaster & 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
By this process papers or cardboard made of any suitable material and thickness
are treated during their manufacture in the paper machines in such a way that
they handle as supple as leather and have more particularly the elasticity necessary
for leather embossing. The most suitable impregnating materials for this purpose
are easily soluble oils, such as glycerine etcetera or non-drying oils soluble in alcohol
such as castor oil, rhodon oil, icica oil, celester oil, Brazil nut oil horse chestnut oil
etcetera.
The paper is passed whilst in the paper machine, and preferably before under-
going the last wet pressing, through a vessel which is filled with glycerine or a
mixture of glycerine, or an easily soluble oil, with water, or with a mixture of such
substances. Mixtures of non-drying oils, soluble in alcohol may also be employed,
but generally the first named mixtures are preferable owing to their cheapness.
Instead of passing the paper through a vessel filled with glycerine or the like, it
may be also impregnated by sprinkling with the above named substances or in any
other suitable manner.
The best mixture for impregnating has been found to be one of glycerine and
water of about 7° Beaumé.
The liquid expressed from the paper when passing through the wet press is again
collected in a receptacle and used for diluting the impregnating fluid, thus avoiding
loss of the latter. The paper prepared by one of the methods hereinbefore
described, may be left in its then condition or directly embossed, or any suitable
colour may be given it even before being pressed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved manufacture of paper or cardboard resembling leather, consisting
in the paper or cardboard being impregnated, preferably before having passed the
last wet press and in any suitable manner, with glycerine or with a mixture of
water and glycerine, or some other easily soluble oil, or with a mixture of the same
or with non-drying oils, soluble in alcohol, such as castor oil, rhodon -oil, celester
oil, Brazil nut oil and the like, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Water Closets.
I, WALTER BROWN HARVEY DRAYSON, of J. Tylor & Sons, Limited, of
2 Newgate Street, in the City of London, Brass Founders, do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,
reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings and to the letters and
figures marked thereon, that is to say :-
This invention relates to an improvement in that kind of water closet for which
I obtained Letters Patent dated 28 June 1890 No. 10,050. The Specification of the
aforesaid Patent describes a water closet basin in which the trap (preferably of lead
or other metal) is constructed separate and distinct from the said basin so that an
air tight joint can readily be made between the outlet of the said trap and the soil
pipe. The joint between the basin and the trap (which joint is liable to be more
or less imperfect) is made at the inlet end of the said trap, the trap intervening
between the soil pipe and such more or less defective joint, and the escape of sewer
gas is thereby prevented.
The further advantage is obtained by making the trap separate from the basin,.
that the trap can be fixed in any desired position, within certain limits, to suit the
position of the soil pipe with reference to the basin, whether the said soil pipe be
immediately behind or more or less to one side thereof.
The apron, skirt or shield has also, in some cases, been objected to on account of
the hollow open space behind same harbouring an accumulation of dust, dirt and
other objectionable matter, and another object of this present invention is to
overcome this objection.
According to my present invention I support the closet basin on an apron, skirt
or shield which, instead of being open at the back as heretofore, is entirely closed
in, so that no accumulation of unsanitary matter is allowed to take place.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a longitudinal vertical section
of a closet constructed according to my present invention, and Figure 2 is a
sectional plan on line X-X of Figure 1.
A is the closet basin supported on the apron, skirt or shield B, closed in at the
back as at B, and more or less screening the trap C from view, D the joint
between the basin A and the inlet of the trap C, and E the joint between the
outlet of the trap C and the soil pipe F. The dotted lines in Figure 2 illustrate
the extreme limits of the position of the trap C and soil pipe F in relation to the
basin A.
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 :-
--
Constructing a water closet basin with a supporting apron, skirt or shield closed
at the back, substantially as hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the drawings.
and for the purposes specified.

A New or Improved Tea Pot.
ALFRED MONK COLE No. 2 Sydenham Wellington Road Cork, Tea Merchant,
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 consists in having a finely perforated strainer extending from
the centre of the top or mouth of tea pot and sloping towards the handle side and
attached thereto, but elevated above the bottom to allow the water have free
action to percolate underneath, and keep the leaves floating. This chamber so
formed is intended for the reception of the dry tea leaves upon which the boiling
water is to be poured when being brewed.
The drawing gives a view of the strainer fixed in tea pot, A A. being the top of
strainer, and B B its termination fixed above the bottom at the handle side.
CC shows the slope and its fixture to the sides.
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. An improved tea pot constructed as herein described, wherein there is a
chamber, for the reception of the dry tea leaves, which is elevated above the bottom
of tea pot, bringing the leaves into, and retaining them in the higher temperature
of the water, thereby insuring rapid extraction, and by this means avoiding the
injurious tannin, and insuring equalisation of strength throughout.
2. The strainer being fixed above the bottom of tea pot, gives free scope to
the water to percolate, and thus keeps the leaves agitated.
3. The fineness of the perforation of the strainer prevents the possibility of
of the leaves escaping to the cup.
any
4. As the tea is used the leaves become exposed from the water, thus preventing
the extraction of tannin.

Improvements in Cycle Wheels.
We THEODOR MÜLLER, Locksmith of 107 Thalstrasse, and JOHANN SCHULTE,
Joiner, of 87 Eilkerallee, both of Düsseldorf 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 for improvements in cycle wheels relates to the construction of the
tires thereof and consists essentially in forming the wheel with two concentric
metallic rings having rubber buffer pieces between them, at intervals apart, and
affixing to the outer metallic ring a running tire or tread of rubber.
In the accompanying illustrative drawings
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a cycle wheel constructed according to
this invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same on the line c d.
Figure 3 is a vertical section of part of the tire.
Figure 4 is a section through the tire and showing round shaped buffers.
Figure 5 is a section through the tire and showing rectangular buffers.
Between the two rings sand are inserted any required number of rubber
buffers B provided with lateral openings w arranged in an interrupted row and
connected by screws to the aforesaid rings. The manner of fastening may be
effected either, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, by means of plates let into the rubber
and tapped to receive the screws, or as in Figure 5, by nuts inserted in the
openings w.
In Figures 4 and 5 two different forms of buffer are shown in section of which
one has a round and the other a rectangular section.
The outer tire-rim r is provided on both sides with forward projecting edges
between which is drawn on the rubber running tire g. The latter is in this
construction quite independent of the rubber buffers and can without prejudice to
the general elasticity be renewed without special loss of time.
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 of wheel tires for cycles of two concentric tire rims s and with
rubber buffers B of round or rectangular section inserted between them, in
combination with the rubber running tire y for the purpose of giving the tire the
greatest possible elasticity and durability substantially as described.

An Improved Liquid Bronzing Composition.
I, JACQUES PERL, of 7, Scharnhorstrasse Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturing Chemist 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 letter-press, block or lithographic printing, for wall-paper, printed fabrics,
and other uses, it has been customary to print first with a slow-drying size and then
to apply bronze thereto by dusting bronze powder over the size.
This slow process is dispensed with according to the present invention by the
use of a liquid bronze which is printed direct. In order to prevent oxidation taking
place through the liquid medium, the latter must consist of a neutral solution of
pure pyroxiline free of water; aceto-acetic ether forms a very suitable dissolving
medium for pyroxiline, but others such as methyl and ethyl ethers of benzoic acid
or oxalic acid and succinic acid, also acetic ether, amyl-acetate, camphor and
mixtures thereof may be used.
In preparing the liquid bronze the following materials used in the proportions
stated have been found to answer best in practice.
5 parts of pyroxiline are dissolved in 95 parts of aceto-acetic ether, which
solution is mixed thoroughly in a mortar or in a color mixing machine with 25 parts
of bronze powder.
In some of these mixtures a slow reduction, denitration, of the dissolved pyroxi-
line, is caused by the presence of very small quantities of free acid, the injurious
consequence of which consists in the fact that the liquid bronze becomes after
a time thick and consistent. To prevent this it is necessary to add to the liquid
bronze a solution of rosin free from acid and fat, preferably dammar rosin.
Amyl-acetate is the best dissolving medium.
For example; 25 parts of dammar rosin are dissolved in 75 parts of pure
amyl-acetate, which solution is then added, in the proportion of 10 per cent., to
the above described solution of pyroxiline.
A non-oxidizing and always thin liquid bronze made as above described consists
therefore of :-
45 parts pyroxiline
855 parts aceto-acetic ether
25 parts dammar rosin
75 parts amyl-acetate and
225 parts bronze powder.
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 non-oxidizing liquid bronzing composition consisting of a mixture of
powdered bronze with a solution of pyroxiline in aceto-acetic ether or other
suitable dissolving medium, substantially as herein described.
2. The combination with the liquid bronzing composition above claimed of
dammar or similar rosin dissolved in amyl-acetate or other suitable dissolving

Improved Means for Securing Corks or Stoppers in Bottles.
I, JOHN LUCAS BALFOUR, of Millfield House, Tamworth, Staffordshire, Colliery
Owner, 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 Specification to my application for a Patent dated 9th August 1892
No. 14362 described the combination with a metal cap such as is used for
stoppers or corks known as "Robert's Stoppers," a loop of cord, wire or other
suitable material by means of which the withdrawal of the cork or stopper from
the bottle was facilitated.
According to my present invention I utilise such loop for securing the cork or
stopper in the bottle, by first bending the loop down over the edge of the cap and
then after stretching it so as to pass more or less half round the neck of the bottle,
securing it in that position by means of a piece of wire or twine which is passed
round the other part of the neck and after being passed through the loop on each
side, is bent back again and has its ends firmly twisted or tied together, thus
effectually securing the loop round the neck of the bottle.
The accompanying drawing shews a cork or stopper of the kind above alluded.
to, secured according to my invention.
Fig. 1 shews a side view of the fastening and Fig. 2 shews a front view.
A is the metal cap provided with the cord loop B and secured on the cork C as
described in my said Specification No. 14362 1892; the cork having been introduced
into the neck D of the bottle, the cord B is bent down over the edge of the cap A,
and is passed partly round the neck D whereupon a piece of wire or twine E is
passed through the loop on each side as shewn, and after being drawn tight so as
to secure the loop B closely against the neck, the ends of the wire or twine are
twisted or tied together, thus effectually securing the cap B and cork C by means.
of the loop. When the bottle requires to be opened the wire or twine E is unfastened
and the loop B becoming free can be made use of for drawing out the cork.
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 :-
Securing a cork provided with a metal cap and loop of cord, wire, or other
material, in a bottle, by bending down the loop and securing it round the neck of
the bottle by means of a piece of wire or twine substantially as described.

Improvements in the Treatment of Lead Fumes..
I, GUSTAV BISCHOF, of No. 4 Hart Street, Bloomsbury, in the County of
London, Professor of Chemistry, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to means of preventing escape of objectionable fumes
resulting from treatment of lead or lead ores. For this purpose, I cause the gases
which carry the fumes to pass through a deep fire of carbonaceous material, the
heat of which is maintained partly by the heat of the gases passing through
it, and partly by the reduction of the oxides forming a greater or less portion of the
fumes. If necessary, a little air may be admitted to maintain the heat. The fumes
are decomposed or reduced by the action of the hot carbonaceous material, and the
metallic lead separated can be collected below the fire.
In cases where the fumes are evolved at a high temperature, they may be mixed
with a proportion of combustible gas or vapour and the mixture being passed
through a mass of porous material such as fragments of coke or of refractory brick
free from silica, becomes decomposed, metallic lead being deposited.

Monmouth, 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 :-
Hitherto the usual construction of vegetable and the like dish covers has been
such that no means have been provided to prevent the water of condensation from
the vegetables, meat, or the like which collects on the interior thereof returning to
the dish and often spoiling its contents.
Now the object of my invention is to prevent such water of condensation
returning to the dish and for this purpose I form round the interior of the lower
part of the cover a receptacle in which the said water will collect.
And in order that my invention may be more readily understood and carried
into practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the
accompanying drawing which is a part sectional side elevation of a vegetable dish
and cover.
The cover a of the dish c may be of any desirable shape but is provided round
the interior of its lower part with a receptacle b said receptacle being formed by an
upwardly turned flange or in any other suitable manner.
It will thus be seen that the receptacle, being placed in the path usually taken
by the water of condensation when returning to the dish, collects it and prevents
its further downward career.
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 :-
Vegetable and the like dish covers provided with a receptacle round the interior
of their lower parts substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and

Improvements in Envelopes, Wrappers, and such like articles.
I BERNARD FRANKLIN of Highfield Radford Road Coventry in the County of
Warwick Ribbon Manufacturer 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 aud by the following statement :—
My invention has for its object improvements in envelopes wrappers and such
like articles by which I entirely do away with the necessity in fastening such
envelopes or wrappers together or in sealing the same the tongue to come in
contact with the gummed parts thereof. My invention is as follows:-
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings illustrating the same
but I do not in any way confine myself to the or articles shown but they will
illustrate the principle.
Figure 1, illustrates ordinary business envelope partly made up.
Figure 2, illustrates a large size pocket envelope made up and ready for sealing.
Figure 3, illustrates an invoice wrapper ready for closing.
I make my envelopes or wrappers in such a manner that the gum or adhesive
matter or composition is not on the lid or flap but on the body part. For instance
in Figure 1A is the body part if an ordinary business envelope and a¹ the bottom
or fast flap. The gum is placed upon this flap a¹ and the side flaps a² are turned
down upon the same. There is then left the part a' covered with gum so that by
damping the inside of the lid a³ upon the tongue it can be pressed down upon the
gummed portion a when the envelope is sealed.
In the case of Figure 2 the part marked at may have the gum supplied to it after
the envelope is made up and this portion agrees with the right portion if the lid a*
when damped & turned down.
Figure 3, is an invoice wrapper having the portion w³ gummed so that when the
lid wis damped the wrapper may be sealed without the gum coming in contact
with the tongue. Of course the general shape may be varied.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention & in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The improvement in envelopes wrappers and such like articles having the gum
or adhesive matter placed upon the body-instead of the flap as and for the purpose
herein set forth and shown.

Improvements in Yarn-holders.
I, GUSTAV WILLIAM HOLZBORN, Manager of Spinning Mills, at No. 1 Hafen-
strasse, Grohn, near Bremen in the German Empire, 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 "improvements in the construction of yarn-holders"
whereby the processes of dyeing, bleaching, and drying, now only imperfectly
performed, are greatly facilitated by slackening the yarn after it is wound upon the
holder, prior to its being dipped in the liquor.
As by the existing process the yarn has always to be wound at a certain tension,
the inner layers necessarily become very closely packed together, and can only be
thoroughly saturated with the liquor after long and troublesome manipulation,
moreover the drying process is also greatly retarded.
By my invention a yarn-holder is constructed upon which the yarn is wound in
the usual way with the necessary tension, but in such a manner as to allow the
layers of yarn to lie loosely upon one another.
It will be seen that the yarn-holder as shewn on the accompanying sheet of
drawings-upon which Figure is an end elevation of my improved holder,
Figure 2, a side elevation, Figure 3, an end view with yarn wound on holder,
Figure 4, an end view but with end disc removed, and the holder shewn partly
compressed, and Figure 5, one of the elastic rings detached and compressed,
consists of a cylindrical elastic frame composed of a series of longitudinal bars a
bound together at intervals by a number of annular bands or rings h. These bands
are each cut through at one point so as to permit of their being compressed.
-
To wind the yarn the frame is placed upon a wooden disc A (Figure 1), which
may be of any suitable construction, pierced in the centre, and having a diameter
corresponding exactly with the inner diameter of the frame. The yarn is wound
in the usual way upon a cross-winder, so that the yarn and the spool assume the
position represented in Figure 3. When the winding is completed, the wooden disc
is removed whereupon by means of a slight inward pressure of the frame in a
circular direction one end of the split-rings or bands is pushed under the other,
see Figure 5, and the yarn rests loosely on the reel-see Figure 4. Yarn wound
in the manner above described is very easily dyed bleached and dried, the whole
operation being more effectually and economically accomplished than by existing
methods.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:
A spring or elastic yarn holder consisting of a number of horizontal bars secured
within and attached to a number of split rings or bands, arranged at intervals along
the length of the bars, substantially as shewn and described on the accompanying
sheet of drawings.

An Anal Support or Pessary for Sufferers from Hæmorrhoids.
We, Dr. JULIUS LUTJE of No. 244 Gross Bergstrasse, Altona, Germany,
Medical-practitioner, and Dr. JUSTUS BLOCK of No. 19 Hohenzollernstrasse,
Cassel, Germany, Analytical Chemist, 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 subject of this invention is an anal support or pessary more especially
designed for sufferers from hæmorrhoids or piles, both external and internal, and it
consists of an instrument adapted to be inserted into the anus and, when in that
position, to exercise a moderate pressure both upon the internal and external
tumours, so as, by such pressure, to contract the expanded blood vessels with a view
to preventing their further distention and thereby eventually to bringing about a
cure of the disease.
As shown in the accompanying drawings, the anal pessary preferably consists of a
portion a, which is introduced into the anus, and a part b, which remains outside
and assumes a rounded shape, not unlike that of a spheroid head or button. Both
these parts should preferably be revolvable; and they are connected by an
intermediate piece or neck c of considerably less thickness than the pieces a
and b.
When it is desired to use the anal support or pessary (which may be made of
any suitable material) it is inserted into the anus up to the head b. The anal
sphincter takes up its position round the connecting piece c, between the heads a
and b, and therefore the hæmorrhoidal tumours situated outside the anus bear on
the head b of the support, whereby they are maintained and kept back; while the
other head a, placed within the anus, acts upon the internal hæmorrhoids in a
similar manner.
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 pessary for sufferers from hæmorrhoids, consisting of a plug a, adapted to be
inserted into the anus and to act upon the internal hæmorrhoids, and of a head or
knob & supporting and keeping back the external tumours; such parts a and b
being connected by, an intermediate piece or neck c adapted to be surrounded and
held by the anal sphincter

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Skates.
I RICHARD WEIGAND, of Remscheid-Vieringhausen, 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 :-
My said invention relates to a skate which is fastened in position by means of
two pairs of clamps secured to or formed integral with two levers the whole herein-
after referred to as clamping levers swivelling upon studs which engage with a right
and left screw so that by turning this screw the clamps can be made to grip the sole
and the heel of the boot or shoe to which the skate is to be fastened.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a plan or top view of my skate,
Figure 2 is a side elevation,
Figure 3 is a transverse section through Y Y of Figure 1.
The blade a is provided with standards ss. The standards supports the inner
end of the toe plate p while the standard s' supports the heel plate p' which is
provided with an upwardly projecting flange p². The toe and heel plates pp¹
support the levers 66 in the ends of which are secured screws or rivets rr,
respectively taking into segmental slots i i, ii, in the toe and heel plates, so that
the ends of the levers b b can be moved towards and from each other. Each of the
levers carries at its front end a sole clamp c and at its rear end a heel clamp d.
The levers bb are pivoted on studs n' n¹ in the laterally adjustable blocks n n
which engage with a right and left screw fmounted in a standard t in such a
manner that while it can be rotated it cannot slide in the direction of its axis.
The standard t rises from the blade a. By turning the screw fin one direction the
levers are moved apart to enable the foot to be readily placed upon the
skate between the clamps c c, d d. On the screw f being turned in the opposite
direction the clamps c c are firmly pressed up against the edges of the sole while
the clamps dd grip the heel of the boot or shoe. The levers bb are mounted
so that they can adapt themselves to the respective widths of the sole and of the
heel. The skate can thus be firmly secured to boots or shoes of various sizes
without the necessity of previously adjusting the clamps to suit the size of the
boot or shoe to which the skate is to be fastened.
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 skate substantially as hereinbefore described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.
2. In a skate the clamping levers bb pivoted on laterally adjustable blocks n
engaging with and operated by a right and left hand screw substantially as and for
the purpose set forth and shown in the accompanying drawings.
