An Improved Appliance for Gathering Fruit or Flowers.
JAMES WILLIAMS 46 Curtain Road Shoreditch London E.C. Ironmonger
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The novelty claimed consists of two flat springs one attached near the point of
one blade and another at the base of the other blade. When the blades meet to
cut the stalk of the flower, or fruit, the flat sides of the springs also meet, and
through the above method of attachment afford a pressure so perfectly graduated
that a stalk however thick or however delicate is firmly held and the flower thus
prevented from falling or even shaking when the stalk is severed.

An Improvement in Buckles for Portmanteaus, Bags, Straps, and
the like.
HENRY TRINDER No. 3 Cookridge Street Leeds Portmanteau Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A cross bar buckle. This buckle is made similar to the ordinary buckle, with the
addition of a cross bar, near the top. The tongue is made shorter than usual, and
supported by the cross bar, not on the roller or top of the buckle. By this means
straps may be buckled tight and used with success, to take the strain off the locks
of portmanteaus bags &c. It can be fastened or released with much greater ease
than the ordinary buckle.
The roller is also protected from the action of the tongue consequently the
buckle will last much longer, the roller being the first part of a buckle to give way
when the tongue is supported thereon.

Fig. 1, is a front elevation of my improved buckle.
Fig. 2, is a sectional elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a front view of buckle with strap attached.
Figs. 4 and 5, show sectional elevation and front view of the ordinary buckle.
A is my improved buckle, with cross-bar B and notch C therein, D is the
tongue which is shorter than the tongue D' on the ordinary buckle shown at Figs. 4
and 5.
The tongue D is supported wholly by the cross-bar B, and not by the roller E,
by this means the roller remains in good condition, the strap only passing over it.
It will be seen that by shortening the tongue it dispenses with that slackening
of the strap which always occurs when fastening the strap with the ordinary
buckle.
Also the straps may be buckled tight and the strain taken off the locks of bags,
portmanteaus, and the like.

page_text: 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:
Buckles A having short tongues D resting upon the cross-bar B, as and for the
purposes substantially as shown and described.

FRANCIS SAMUEL OXBORROW Hotel Proprietor 16 King Alfred's Place Broad
Street Birmingham Warwickshire do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Improvements in harness terrets.
A rectangular shaped terret, which would be manufactured in any suitable
metal.
The terret is made rectangular in shape so that when the rein is placed through
the same it cannot possibly get twisted or in any way get out of place.
In placing the rein through the terret I provide a spring hinge arrangement,
which will open and allow the rein to pass through. By this means it will be seen
that the space allowed for the said rein to pass through is so small that it would
be impossible for the same to get twisted or in any way disarranged as before
stated.
I also provide in another arrangement to make the said terret with a slot or
small aperture in any part of the rectangular terret, so that the rein may be passed
through this to the inside of same.

Improvements in Harness Terrets.
I FRANCIS SAMUEL OXBORROW of Bingley Hall Hotel 16 King Alfred's
Place Birmingham Warwickshire, Hotel Proprietor 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 has reference to the use of rectangular terretts as applied to the
harness of horses & other draught animals for the prevention of twisting of
reins. It is well known that the ordinary circular terrett allows the reins to
become twisted, and my invention entirely prevents the twisting or disarrangement
of the reins. I accomplish this by means of making a rectangular terrett, the
ipside of the rectangular terrett only being sufficiently wide to allow the rein to
slip through, but not turn over or twist.
I make them of any suitable metal.
I make the rectangular terrett substantially, as drawn at Figure A.
This invention further consists of making a terrett with a spring hinged joint
to allow the reins to be slipped into position as shewn at C, or I effect the same
purpose by cutting a slot to allow the rein to pass into the terrett as shewn at B.
After the reins are pushed through the slot into the terrett, it is impossible for
the reins to slip out of the terrett owing to its inability to twist in the narrow
rectangular part of the terrett.

page_text: Having now particularly deseribed & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
f
The improvements in terrets for harnesses, consisting in the making the said
terretts of a narrow rectangular shape, for the prevention of twisting in reins,
substantially in the manner herein before described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Adjustable Ceiling Brackets or Hangers.
We JAMES WHITBY, WALTER WILLIAM SLATE and JOHN WHITBY, trading
as Whitby Slate & Whitby of 11 Featherstone Buildings in the County of
Middlesex, Plumbers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
An improved adjustable ceiling bracket or hanger to carry shafting (marked A
in Figure 1) made of iron or any other suitable metal. In the ring (marked E) is
fixed a bearing (marked B) having four centres which is supported at its base by a
set screw (marked C) and at the top by a pin (marked D) as shown in Figure 1.
By unscrewing the set-screw (C) and drawing the bearing (B) along the
shafting (F), an endless band (H) can then be passed through the ring (E) as
shown in Figure 2, thus saving the great trouble of lifting the whole shafting out
as is the case with all fixed bearings.
The bearing (B) being held in place by the set-screw (C) and pin (D) will turn
to any desired angle thereby adjusting itself to the shafting.
The bearing (B) having four centres (marked G in Figure 2) and only being
worn at its base by the action of the shafting, can be turned round to a different
centre, thus utilising the unworn parts of the bearing.

page_text: by placing above the tube B a disc of cloth, gripped between two discs of wire
gauze (nickeled copper) with this very simple arrangement the supply is practically
constant and the speed suited to the discharge.
In order to use the syphon it is first entirely sterilized and then a vacuum is
produced in its interior. It is then placed in communication, by a tube also
sterilized, with the receptacle in which the liquid has been filtered, generally under
the pressure of an inert gas. As soon as the valve S is opened, the liquid flows
into the apparatus. The syphon is filled up to a certain height and above that the
gas is caused to enter under pressure. This gas may be either azote or any other
suitable gas which has no action on the liquid. The lever L is then released, tho
valve closes, and the stopper U or the stopper I may be fitted on, according to
which is to be employed.
The liquid thus stored up under pressure remains without change as long as may
be desired, seeing it is never in contact with the air. In order to increase the
precautions the screw stoppers U and I may be sterilized each time that they are
fitted on, and before each hypodermic injection, allowing a certain quantity of the
liquid to run out by the pointed nozzle 1.
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:-
1. An improved apparatus for preserving changeable liquids also applicable as a
hypodermic injector consisting of a vessel A of suitable shape and dimensions, a
long tube B penetrating therein and connected to a headpiece or cover G provided
with a channel V which may be terminated as desired by a stopper U or a pointed
nozzle and of a piston St, the rod of which is surrounded by a spring and is
operated by a lever L which serve to control the outflow of the liquid from the
apparatus, all substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated.
2. In a hypodermic injection apparatus the combination of a syphon vessel having
an outflow controlling device and a pointed nozzle 1, substantially as and for the

Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
This invention refers to improvements in the locking portions of the stirrup
and consists in locking the inner bow on the inside to the bottom of the stirrup
instead of hooking onto the outside as is usually done. To effect this I form upon

portion on the end of the outer bow. When this is in place a slot in the side of the
bottom of the inner bow catches over the peg and secures all the parts together
leaving entirely smooth surfaces to all exposed parts.

Middlesex, Engineer (communicated from abroad by The Berliner Actiengesell-
schaft for Eisengiesserei and Maschinenfabrikation vormals J. C. Freund & Co. of
Charlottenburg by Berlin, 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:-
The object of the present invention is to reduce the quantity of water required
for moistening the air used in pneumatic maltings.
In carrying out my invention I produce an exceedingly fine division of the
water in those chambers where the air passes for the purpose of getting saturated
by means of specially constructed sprays by which the water is transformed into
an exceedingly fine dust by means of compressed air or other gases under
pressure.
Fig. 1 shows the construction of sprays used for this purpose, only I do not
limit myself to these particular constructions, and the peculiarity of these sprays
that the water flows by its own gravity through the hole A along the outside bottom
of the sprays until met by the current of air or other gases through the hole B
and by means of this, is transformed into a fine dust or mist.
C is the airpipe
supplied with a regulating valve, bringing the air to the spray. D is the water-
pipe likewise supplied with a valve, and E is a cup for the water, which shall be
kept nearly full constantly.
Fig. 2 is a similar spray but having several openings A for water and B for air,
but acting in the same manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I do hereby declare that
what I claim is :-
The saturation of air used in connection with pneumatic maltings, by means of
water finely divided into dust or mist by means of compressed air or other gases.
The construction of special sprays as herein described and illustrated for this
purpose.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Bobbins for Use in Spinning,
Knitting, and like Machines.
I, ARTHUR CAKEBREAD, of Dunkirk Works, Inchbrook, near Stroud, in the
County of Gloucester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of sheet metal conical bobbins for use
in spinning, knitting and like machines.
Hitherto such bobbins have been made with smooth or plain surfaces and there
has consequently been a tendency of the thread or yarn wound thereon to slide or
come off.
My invention bas for object to obviate this defect and for this purpose I form
the peripheries of the bobbins with annular projections or ribs so as to provide an
irregular surface which effectually prevents the thread or yarn from slipping along
the conical surfaces of the bobbins.
I first make my bobbins in the usual conical form, and before placing the ends
and spindle tube therein I form the projections or ribs on the periphery of the
cone by revolving the cone between suitable tools or dies, or the projections or ribs
may in some cases be formed in the metal before it is turned into a cone.
