An Improved Guard Carving Fork.
1, EDMOND AMBROSE of Kimbolton in the County of Huntingdon Ironmonger, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This invention consists in making the stem of the fork of two pieces a pin, and a
tube, the pin sliding into the tube, or the tube sliding over the pin. When the fork
is placed in the joint the sliding action of the stem elevates the guard automatically
by pressing on the guard or wedging it up from below or by acting on a small cam
or boss projecting from it. In this way no sooner is the fork inserted in the meat and
the usual pressure applied to the fork handle to hold the joint in position than the
guard stands erect ready for action.

An Improved Guard Carving Fork.
EDMOND AMBROSE of Kimbolton in the County of Huntingdon, 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:
This invention is designed to supply an Automatic guard for Carving forks, and is
so contrived that the moment the fork is inserted in the joint, the guard is forced to
assume the erect position and remains erect so long as pressure is applied to the handle
of the fork.
It consists of a Fork having its stem in two pieces, namely a pin or sturt and a
socket or tube in which the pin works to and fro with a sliding motion, the extent of
which is regulated by a slot and stud, or in any other well known way.
The end of the sliding pin bears against a small cam or shoulder formed to receive
it, on the lower end of the guard, which cam is pivotted eccentrically, so that when
the fork is pressed into the meat, the backward thrust of the sliding pin raises the
guard and holds it erect.
In the accompanying drawing there is shewn an elevation of a fork with a sectional
view of the stem, in which the mode of raising the guard can be seen.
A is the prong.
B is the sliding pin. C is the slot which regulates the distance travelled by the
pin B.
D is the guard, and E the eccentrically placed pivot on which the cam F
turns. It will be seen that the guard D cannot fall until the sliding pin Bis withdrawn
which takes place when the fork is removed from the joint.
The points of contact between the sliding pin and guard can be formed wedge-
shaped or in any other form as preferred.
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 :-
An Automatic Guard Carving fork, having a sliding pin and socket action contrived
so as to raise the guard whenever the fork is inserted in the meat, as herein described
and set forth.

1 ALFRED WILLIAM MANTLE Engineer 52 Queen Victoria Street in the City
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 :-
In the construction of Kitchen or Cooking Ranges the object is to combine by
suitable means a self setting a self erecting and an automatic flue cleaning
arrangement.
For this purpose I construct a range in several different pieces or parts consisting
of a top and bottom ring, side plates, front and back plates, hot plates, oven plates,
and a bottom plate to form under flue.
The top and bottom rings are provided with grooves into which the front, back,
and side plates are fitted, these plates being also provided with grooves into which
the plates forming oven and flues are fixed thus when the several plates are placed
in their respective positions the whole is held together by the top and bottom rings
forming a complete range which can be put into an ordinary fire place or recess or
placed in any suitable position rendering it unnecessary to make flues of brickwork
as in the ordinary range.
In order to make such ranges more effective I attach and fit a flue cleaning
apparatus by means of which and by drawing out suitable handles provided for
that purpose which are fixed to scrapers or brushes corresponding with and fitting
into the several flues the Soot, Dirt &c. is at once automatically removed and if
desirable deposited into a receptacle provided for the same.
In order to make the above description more intelligible I refer to accompanying
drawings Fig. 1 representing the longitudinal section of a range A being the fire
box, B the flues, (the automatic cleaner, D the grooves, E top ring holding plates
in position, F bottom ring for same purpose.
Fig. 2 represents the front elevation of a range of which E' is the fire box
door, oven door, Gash box door, H handles provided to work the automatic
flue cleaning apparatus, [top ring holding plates in position, J bottom ring for
same purpose, K front plate of range.

A New or Improved Safety Fastening for Horses and Cattle.
I STEPHEN HOOPER of Wanganui in the Colony of New Zealand, Settler 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 safety fastening for horses and cattle
and has for its object providing a fastening to which the bridle may be fastened with
facility and which will release the animal rather than destroy the bridle or the object
to which it is fastened.
In order that my invention may be most easily understood I will now proceed to
describe the same and for that purpose shall refer to the accompanying sheet of
drawings on which similar letters indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1. is a side view of my apparatus.
Fig. 2. is a front view of the same.
Fig. 3. is a side section with bridle released.
Fig. 4. is another form of my apparatus.
(a.) is a forging or casting fastened by screws or other suitable means to a post
or wall or other convenient place in any position suitable for holding a horse.
(b.) is a tongue piece pivoted to the piece (a.) at (L.)
(c.) is a spring pivoted at (c) at one end and with the other end pressing on the
end of the tongue piece (b.)
It will be seen from this description of the several parts and by reference to the
drawings that my apparatus consists of a solid part fastened to a post or other object
and a spring tongue between which the bridle of the animal is hung. The spring (c.)
is of sufficient strength under ordinary circumstances to maintain the tongue (b.) in
a vertical position and thus retain the bridle securely but in case of an extra strain
such as would endanger the breaking of the bridle the tongue (b.) gives way and
assumes the position shewn in Fig. 3. thus allowing the animal to free itself without
damage or destruction to the bridle or fastening.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my invention and
how the same is or may be carried into effect I wish it to be understood that although
I have found the arrangement as shewn sufficiently suitable for the purpose I do not
confine myself to the exact details for it is evident that the tongue (b.) may be of a
different shape and the pivot (61) may be made nearer to the post or other attachment
and even attached at (c) with a spring at the back of the plate (a.) as shewn in Fig. 4
but what I claim as novel and useful and desire to secure by letters patent is :-
A spring hook for securing horses and animals without injury to the bridle or
fastening substantially as described herein and illustrated in accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Syphon Flushing Apparatus.
I, OSCAR ELPHICK of the Lambeth Sanitary Engineering Works, Albert Embank-
ment. in the County of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
According to this invention the outlet pipe is branched at the top. One branch
turns downwards and terminates near the bottom of the cistern forming the short leg
of the syphon whilst the other branch is connected to the top of a cylinder in the
cistern. In this cylinder is a piston actuated by a pull or handle, the piston either
fitting the cylinder loosely or being provided with a valve by which the water can
pass it.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-On the piston being raised by the
handle or pull the water in the cylinder above it flows by the branch pipe to the top of
the outlet pipe down which it passes setting up a syphonic action which draws the
water from the cistern up the short leg of the syphon through the other branch to the
top of the outlet pipe down which it passes.
Dated this 2nd day of October 1889.

Improvements in Travellers' Sample Bags or Cases.
1, WILLIAM PARKER BURTON, of Hillside, 14 Willoughby Road, Ipswich, in the
County of Suffolk, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my 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 bags or cases for containing sample packets and the like,
more especially grocery and confectionery samples, and the object of the invention is
an improved case which may be opened and closed more readily and render the
samples more easily accessible than the paper parcels or other such bags or cases as
have been heretofore used.
Referring to the drawings hereunto annexed in which Figure 1 shows such a bag
closed, Figure 2 half open and Figure 3 fully opened.
The improved case may be constructed to resemble an ordinary hand bag or case as
in Figure 1. It consists of a flat portion B serving as the bottom of the bag, the
sides of the bag being hinged thereto so as to fold down as in Figure 2 or as in
Figure 3. The ends of the bag may be hinged or connected to the bottom so as to
fold down, or they may be made in one part with one of the sides to fold down there-
with, or preferably, as shown, the edges of the sides of the bag may terminate in
projecting flaps to meet or to overlap each other more or less when the bag is closed
and so close in the ends of said bag.
The samples A are stacked on the flat bottom B of the bag, each layer of
samples being separated from that below by a piece of flat wood or other suitable
material to which also the upper layer or layers of samples may be lifted off to
give ready access to those below. By hinging the ends of the bag or case, or
constructing such ends as above described, the said layers are removed more easily
than is the case with bags or casos having fixed ends. There may be two or more
pockets C in the sides of the bag for other sample packets, or one of the sides may
serve when open as a tray upon which the packets may be opened and exhibited. One
or more outside pocket may be made on such case in the usual manner to hold an order
book or for general convenience.
The principal object of the invention is to construct the case or bag so that when it
is opened the stack of samples may remain standing and be readily accessible
from all sides and any sample can be withdrawn from the pack without disarranging
the others.
The flat portion or bottom of the bag or case may be made of metal, wood, leather
or other suitable material.
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 bag or case for holding and exposing samples and such like constructed to open
and display such samples in a stack or stacks substantially as described, illustrated and
for the purposes set forth.

I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 and accompanying drawing (that is to say) :-
This invention relates to improvements in saddles and consists in applying upon the
frames of such saddles leather of great strength, according to the purpose for which
it is to be more particularly adapted, and in previously working the said leather in a
damp state upon a saddle tree or mould of the required shape. Saddles as hitherto
used have been composed of several pieces of leather but according to the present
improvements they are made in one piece only.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a view of the improved leather made in
one piece and moulded to the required shape and figure 2 that of a saddle tree upon
which the leather shewn in figure 1 is fitted and fixed. The said leather is formed by
means of a mould or core upon which the previously damped leather is applied by
stretching or bending, a, a, (figure 1) are mortises for attaching straps.
The improved saddle has very considerable advantages. It is convenient for all
horse-riding purposes and is comfortable for the rider, and as seams, projections or
bosses, and protuberances of every kind are dispensed with, there are no parts which
will cause wear of the rider's clothes. There is also less friction and consequently the
saddle will last longer and there is no need of constant and expensive repairs such as
are necessary in saddles as hitherto used.
The saddle may be made of leathor or of any suitable substitute therefor.
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 :-
The manufacture of the improved leather saddle described, applicable to military or
other saddles of any shape, by previously moulding the leather in one piece upon a
saddle mould, substantially as and for the purpose described.

Improvements in or relating to Windows.
A communication from ANTON HEINRICH, of Silberstrasse 2, Crimmitzschau, in the
Empire of Germany, Draper.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E., 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 unpleasant propensity of window panes subjected to the influence of the various
states of the atmosphere to be transformed into a non-transparent, sweating or frozen
state has been the cause of the making of a variety of window constructions by which
the objectionable features could be obviated.
None of these constructions have however been of sufficient practical importance
to find general adoption although the absence of such windows has everywhere been
felt.
In the accompanying drawings
Figs. 1 to 3 represent a window with air circulation so constructed as to obviate
the above stated objections by the following means;-
I place in the ordinary window frames a, a and b, b two panes c c¹ of glass in place
of the single one generally employed leaving an interval or space of say about one-
inch between them. One of these panes is inserted in a light frame i which is so
fitted in the frames a, a b, b that both form an inseparable whole, though the
channelled joints render the supplementary frames i detachable for cleaning purposes
which it will hardly be necessary to resort to once in a year.
The cross pieces a, a of the window frames are provided according to their width
with a number of small air holes m and which run in an angular form through the
upper cross piece by inclining from their centre towards the outer part of the window
and end on the inner side in the space left between the two panes.
The holes in the lower channels go on the contrary in a vertical direction between
the panes and terminate in channels m¹ slanting in a downward direction towards the
outer part of the cross pieces n n.
The appliance of the channels m m³ establish the air circulation between the panes.
and it has been proved by experiments that neither of the panes can by any of the
various temperatures be caused to sweat or become frozen and are quite free from
the influence of the moisture with which the external or internal atmosphere may be
impregnated.
The windows moreover replace the double or box windows generally used in.
winter.
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 correspondent, I declare that what I claim is ;-
A window provided with air circulation by the employment of openings such
as m m communicating with the outer atmosphere and the space between the
panes CC for the purpose of preventing sweating or freezing substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

An Improvement in Covers for Kettles and like Vessels.
I, WILLIAM VINSON REES, of 2 High Street Pontypridd, in the county of
Glamorgan, 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 :-
The improvement in covers for kettles and like vessels to which this invention
relates, consists in attaching the same to one end of a rod or spindle which extends
upwards to and is passed through the handle of the vessel and terminates at the upper.
end in a knob or button.
The cover, which is raised by exerting a vertical pull on the rod or spindle, is not
liable to be lost nor, if oval in shape, to drop into the vessel.
Under a modification, the handle of the kettle or like vessel may be free to revolve
and, in that case, the cover, after having been raised, may be tilted and then lowered
to rest on the edge or rim of the aperture at which the vessel receives water.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, the figures thereon represents an elevation
of a kettle arranged in accordance with this invention.
The cover a is secured on the lower end of a spindle which is extended
upwards and passed loosely through the handle e and terminates in a knob or
button d.
When it is required to raise the cover, an upward pull is exerted on the
spindle and the cover is accordingly-drawn up to permit access to the interior of
the kettle.
Under a modification, the handle of the kettle or like vessel is free to revolve
about its axis and, in that case; the cover, after having been raised, may be tilted and
then lowered to rest on the edge of the aperture, the spindle being inclined
accordingly

page_text: 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 :-
1. Providing the cover of a kettle or other like vessel with a rod or stem connected
at its lower end to the cover and extending upwards through the handle and free to
move therein, substantially as herein before described.
2. The combination with a cover and stem for a kettle or other like vessel, as set
forth in the preceding claim, of a handle free to revolve or partially revolve about
its axis, substantially as herein before described.

do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
"
Paper-binders, as at present constructed, are made from thin sheet metal, ent into
strips, and pointed, so as to pierce the paper They are therefore extremely weak
laterally, and easily bend at the points in piercing many thicknesses of paper to
remedy this defect I flute the strip at that part which passes through the piper, the
flute or flutes extending almost or quite to the point I find that, thus treated, any
of the existing binders will safely pierce from twice to three times the number of
sheets.

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 method of ornamenting mouldings
and picture, looking-glass and other frames, and other surfaces.
In carrying out my invention the surface to be ornamented, is first prepared with a
coating of a suitable adhesive colored or plain composition laid on by hand or by
means of revolving rollers: while the composition thus laid on is still in a plastic
state, a rough and irregular ground or surface is given to it by means of hard
brushes or by means of a revolving metal cylinder, the surface of which is engraved
or otherwise prepared to obtain the required effect. The roughened composition
coating having become set a coat of mastic varnish is applied thereto, and on this
varnish I sprinkle gold, silver or colored metallic speckles, by which means a frosted
and gittering appearance is given to the colored or plain surface of the irregular
ground; and the whole is then protected by a coat of clear lacquer.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
1 claim is :-
