Improvements in Sight Feed Lubricators and Oil Cups.
We JAMES WILLIAM GAUKROGER and WILLIAM ALFRED SYKES, Brass Finishers,
both of Bedford Street North Halifax, in the County of York, 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 :-
Our Invention consists in a Sight feed lubricator or oil cup, the body of the lubri-
cator is cylindrical, and is of glass, with an outside brass or metallic frame and a
metallic spring cap or lid; near the top of the vessel is a sieve or gauze to prevent
the dirt from passing into the lubricator.
At the bottom of the vessel is a tube with à regulating valve, and a second glass
or sight feed; the bottom of the tube terminates in a screw for fixing to the Bearings
or Cylinders.
By means of the regulating valve, one, two, three, or any number of drops per
minutes can be fed, or it can have a flush feed.
The oil cups or lubricators can be used for any bearing.
The object of our invention is to improve oil cups or lubricators, to render, them
more easily charged.
In order that our Invention may be more fully understood we append the following
drawings
Fig. 1 (Sheet 1) is an elevation of an oil cup or lubricator fitted with our improved
spring cap or lid.
Fig. 2 (Sheet 1) is a sectional elevation of the same.
Fig. 3 (Sheet 1) is a plan view with the lid open.
Figs. 4 & 5 (Sheet 2) are elevations of a Sight feed lubricator fitted with our
improved cap or lid.
For the purpose aforesaid instead of the screwed lid usually employed to cover oil
cups or lubricators we make the cap or lid 1 with a rim 2 round its edge, accurately
turned and faced to fit the top edge or rim of the cup 3, and near the edge of the rim
we place a pin or stud 4, which passes through a boss 5, placed eccentrically on the
lid 1, this boss is chambered and contains a spiral spring 6 pressing against an annular
rim 7 at the bottom of the chamber and the head of the pin or stud 4, the length of
this stud and chamber is sufficient to allow the lid 1 to be raised until the rim 2 clears
the edge of the cup 3, when the stud being as previously stated placed eccentrically,
the lid can be turned to one side (as shewn in Fig. 3, Sheet 1) and leave the cup
exposed for refilling. This device is applicable to large and small lubricators, and is
a special convenience when they are required on moving parts, such as connecting
rods, loose pulleys, velocipede wheels, etc.
This lid can also be adapted for Sight Feed lubricators, as shown in Figs. 4 & 5..

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is

I, RICHARD WHARTON BRENMEHL of 104 Park Street Camden Town in the
County of Middlesex Manufacturer of Tin and Metal 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 :-
The object of this Invention is to prevent milk from boiling over the sides of the
vessel in which it is contained and being: thereby lost.
The Invention consists of a vertical cylinder soldered brazed or otherwise rigidly
attached, to a conical shaped base, the said base having perforations therein. A
second cylinder slides over the vertical one and is provided with two, three, four
or any suitable number of perforations arranged in a circular line around its
circumference. The said perforations are provided with spouts leading downwards
towards the conical shaped base of the first cylinder. The second cylinder is also
provided with a lid or cover which can be removed when it is necessary to clean
the apparatus.
The Invention is intended to be placed with its cone shaped base on the bottom
of the saucepan or vessel in which the milk is being prepared: when the milk
begins to boil it circulates through the holes or perforations in the said conical
shaped base and eventually travels up the vertical cylinder until it reaches the spouts
of the outer cylinder through which it discharges itself.
Hence a constant circulation is created and the milk cannot possibly boil over the
side of the saucepan or vessel in which it is being prepared.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying drawings in which similar letters indicate corresponding parts in all the
figures.
Fig. I is an elevation.
Fig. II is a plan; and,
Fig. III a section of the apparatus placed in a saucepan.
The base A is cut, blocked or otherwise constructed of a circular shape and

page_text: attached to the base A either by soldering brazing or in any other suitable manner.
The second cylinder C is of slightly larger diameter than the cylinder F, and is
provided with 2, 3, 4, or any suitable number of spouts E arranged in a circular
line around its circumference.
These spouts E E discharge the liquid back into the saucepan or vessel in which
the milk is being prepared as shown by the arrows on Fig. 3. The upper cylinder C
is provided with a lid or cover G which can be removed when it is required to
clean the apparatus.
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 construction of an apparatus to allow boiling milk to constantly circulate
therethrough substantially as and for the purpose herein before set forth and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.

page_text: I, JUSTIN CAILLET, of 35 and 37, Galerie Vivienne, Paris, in the Republic of
France, 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:-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of driving belt for machinery ;
the same having a metallic core and a caoutchouc covering.
In manufacturing a driving belt according to my improved method, I employ a core
woven from wire possessing flexibility and great tensile strength, and preferably non-
oxidisable, such as delta metal, phosphor bronze or similar alloy, the core being the
full width of the belt or nearly so. Both sides of the woven metallic core are then
served with caoutchouc, or a composition largely composed of caoutchouc, and
subjected to a rolling or other suitable process whereby the caoutchouc composition is
caused to permeate the core and to unite from opposite sides thereof. Having been
vulcanised, the belt is ready for use.
The employment of a woven metallic core of the kind above described not only
greatly increases the power of the belt for driving purposes but prevents it stretching -.
a defect to which india-rubber belts of ordinary construction are peculiarly liable.
At the same time, the caoutchouc covering serves to protect the comparitively fine
wire core from abrasion and wear.
In order to increase the grip of the belt upon the surface of the pulley, there may
be incorporated with the caoutchouc a small proportion of emery or equivalent
material.
In some instances, where for example it is not required that the belt should be
reversible, I apply the covering of caoutchouc on one side only, leaving the metallic
web exposed on the other side, the caoutchouc covering being attached to the web by
the process of vulcanisation.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
1 The improved manufacture of driving bolte substantially as heroin described

page_text: 2. A driving belt having a woven wire core faced on each side with a caoutchouc
covering, substantially as herein described.
3. A driving belt having a woven wire back and a caoutchouc working face
vulcanised thereto, substantially as herein described.
4. In the manufacture of driving belts of the kind herein described, the employ-
ment of a woven wire core composed of delta metal, phosphor bronze or similar
non-oxidisable alloy possessing flexibility and great tensile strength.
5. In the manufacture of driving belts of the kind herein described, the employ-
ment of emery or equivalent material in conjunction with caoutchouc as and for the
purpose set forth.

page_text: I, ANTHONY ZDZIARSKI, of the Samara-Ufa Railway, Samara, Russia, 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:
This invention relates to improvements in rolling mills, and consists in substituting
built up rolls for the solid cast iron rolls usually employed; considerable economy
being hereby effected.
In order that my invention may be readily understood, I will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, which represents, in side
elevation, a pair of rolls constructed according to my improved method and adapted
for rolling bar iron. Each roll is built up of a number of tubular pieces a, mounted
on an axle b, preferably of steel, and separated from one another by rings c, also
preferably of steel; the latter corresponding with the divisions in ordinary rolls.
The tubular pieces a and rings c having been arranged alternately upon the axle b
are firmly secured in an axial direction by means of the lock-nut in conjunction
with the collar . The lock-nnt may be protected by a guard-ring or shield if
deemed desirable. To prevent the tubular pieces a and rings c rotating upon the
axle, the latter is furnished with a feather (represented in dotted lines) and the parts a
and c have corresponding feather-ways. The number, size and shape of the parts a
may be varied at will to suit the particular section of bar required to be produced.
Rolls built up in the manner above described have the following advantages:
For rolling a new section, it is only requisite to alter the parts a or substitute others
in their places; the axles, with their accessories, and the rings c serving for any
section. A steel or malleable metal axle, such as this invention permits of being
used, is less liable to fracture than when the whole roll is of cast metal.
--
The several comparatively small castings used are less costly to finish than large
rolls, and are better adapted for being broken up, melted in furnaces of moderate
size and recast as occasion requires. Moreover, the operative portions of the complete
roll may be of harder metal, or the surfaces thereof may be chilled; wear being
thereby diminished and a more perfect result obtained.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :—
1. The improved method of constructing rolls for rolling mills, substantially as
herein described.
2. A mill-roll in which the main working surfaces are formed upon several cast
metal bodies arranged about a steel or malleable metal axle and capable of removal
therefrom as and for the purposes set forth.

An Improved Attachment to Clothes Props.
I, LUCY ELLA FRIEND, of Croydon in the Colony of New South Wales, wife of
Arthur Gilbert Friend of Sydney, New South Wales, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved attachment to be secured to the ends of
clothes props whereby that implement may serve as a prop whichever end is used,
while the opposite end affords a more secure grip on the ground or floor; thus the
prop fitted with my attachment is more convenient for the laundress to handle and is
more efficient in its action because the prongs do not become broken so readily as the
forks of the saplings at present used for props. The attachment is constructed
preferably of malleable cast iron, and consists of a short socket which is extended on
one or both sides, so as to form a strap or straps which shall extend longitudinally
along the pole, and which when properly secured to the pole or prop by screws or
otherwise, bind the attachment and hold it firmly on to the extremity of the prop.
Beyond the socket and forming the extreme end of the prop is a two-pronged fork
of any shape most suitable for the purpose, i.e., the prongs may be straight or curved
or one prong may be made longer than the other as in the case with boat hooks.
In order to prevent the line from slipping out from between the prongs of the fork
one or both prongs may be undercut so as to form a projection or projections against
which the line may catch if the prop, by any accident, should slip. In the accompany-
ing drawings Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 shew some of the different forms in which I
propose to
make the improved attachment. a a are the wooden poles or props. bb the short
sockets into which the extremities of the props a fit. c. ccc are some of the forms
to which the prongs of the forks may be adapted. d is the projection formed by
under cutting one or both of the prongs of the fork, so as to prevent the line from
slipping and the prop falling. ee are the straps which secure the attachment to the

page_text: pole or prop by means of the screws ff. In the drawings Figs. 1 and 2 shew the
attachment fixed to the top of a prop, while Figs. 3 and 4 shew it fixed to the bottom
of a prop.
As stated above, one of the advantages of the attachment is that either
end of the prop may be used indifferently.
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 attachment, substantially as described, and illustrated in the drawings,
and for the purposes herein set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture or Preparation of Cement.
We GEORGE JAMES SNELUS of Workington in the County of Cumberland Metal-
lurgist JOHN CAMERON SWAN of the City and County of Newcastle-on-Tyne Merchant
and HERBERT SMITH of the City and County of Newcastle-on-Tyne 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:
Our Invention has for its object to provide a cement of a quick setting character
and consists in combining or incorporating with Cement made from blast furnace
slag and lime (or with these materials before or in course of being manufactured
into Cement) Aluminous Iron Ore or materials of the same or practically the same
character or composition such as for instance the constituents of aluminous iron ore
mixed together.
We prefer to add the Aluminous iron ore or corresponding materials to the cement
or cement making materials before or during grinding so as to obtain thorough
incorporation. We do not limit ourselves to the precise proportions in which we use
the materials but we have found the best results arise by using from five up to ten
parts of Aluminous Iron ore to one hundred parts of Cement or one hundred parts of
slag and lime together the proportions of which last named two materials to each
other may be the same as are usually employed in making cement from blast furnace
slag and lime.
This Invention is applicable to the manufacture of cement whether the materials
be calcined or not during the process of manufacture.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of this Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. The manufacture or preparation of cement by adding aluminous iron ore or

page_text: materials of the same character to Cement made from Blast furnace slag and lime or
to these materials in course of being manufactured into Cement.
2. The manufacture or preparation of cement by adding aluminous iron ore or
materials of the same character to Cement made from blast furnace slag and lime
or to these Materials in course of being manufactured into Cement in the proportions
of from five to ten parts of the said ore or the like to one hundred parts of the Cement
or Cement making materials.
3. As a new Article of manufacture Cement manufactured as herein described and
claimed.

I JOHN WILLIAM FREEBUKY of John Street, Stroud in the County of Gloucester,
Monumental 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:-
This invention relates to a method of Decoration or inscription in stone or marble
by means of acids, or combination of acids, or solutions of acids.
The stone or marble to be operated upon is first coated with size, either isinglass
or others suitable, to prevent discoloration in the case of light tinted stone or
marble.
The design or inscription is then either written, traced, stencilled, transferred or
printed on the stone or marble, with either grease, beeswax or other solution, that
will resist the action of the acid or acids, or combination of acids, or dilutions
of same with water, according to the nature of the stone or marble to be operated
upon.
The stone or marble is then immersed in the acids or preparations of same, or the
same is floated over the surface to be operated upon.
The Decoration or Inscription, may be either in relief or sunk, and may be then
filled either with lead or any composition, to give a contrast so as to shew the design
or inscription.
The Method referred to, in the foregoing is especially suitable for signs, tablets, or
tombs and the like.
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 :
1st. A method of Decoration of Stone or Marble by means of acids, instead of the
more costly way of cutting the same in by hand or machinery.
2nd. A method of raising Inscriptions in stone or marble by means of acids, and
filling in the ground work with any suitable composition.
3rd. The Decorations or Inscriptions in stone or marble, may be either raised or
sunk in the same, or both combined.
4th. That the whole work is more effective and less costly, and may be used
for permanent Inscriptions in stone and marble, for signs, tablets or tombs and
the like.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Corks.
I, RUSSELL SCOTT, of No. 1, The Chesnuts. Branch Hill, Hampstead, in the
County of Middlesex, Manufacturer, do horeby 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 an improved method of manufacturing corks, adapted for
use as stoppers and bungs, by producing them out of sheets of a composition or
amalgamation of natural cork and oil.
In order that the said invention, and the means by which it is to be carried
into practical effect, may be thoroughly understood, I will now describe the same
in detail.
Natural cork is prepared, for the purpose of my invention, by grinding it sufficiently
fine in suitable machinery.
The oil is prepared by subjecting to a process of solidification. This solidi-
fication may be effected either by boiling it at a high temperature or by oxidising it.
The proportions in which the ground cork and oil are mixed, are, preferably, as
follows, taking them by weight.
After the two substances, cork and oil, have been thoroughly intermixed in any
convenient way, until they form a homogeneous mass, the latter is formed into
sheets of the desired thickness, from which the corks or bungs are subsequently
stamped or punched. The thickness of the sheet decides the length or thickness of
the cork or bung respectively.
In the last mentioned process, viz., cutting out the corks or bungs, I prefer to use
cork cutting machinery.
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 1 claim is :-
1. The herein before described process of producing corks and bungs.
2. Corks and bungs produced from sheets of an amalgamation of natural cork and
solidified oil.

My improvements relate to the construction of that kind of apparatus for heating,
drying, and similar purposes, by means of wrought iron or steel tubes partially filled
with water or other suitable material, and sealed at each end, and for which letters
patent number 636 were obtuned by Loftus Perkins on the 7th March 1865
In the following description of my invention in order that the same may be better
understood reference is given to the accompanying drawings of a two decker Bakers
oven heated by means of sealed steam tubes and shewing my improved mode of
construction
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a steam heated Oven
Figure 2 is a cross section of the Oven, through the firing place
My improvement consists in bending the bottom row of pipes (A) as shewn on
diawings to a suitable depth to form a fire grate, with the pipes, it a lower level than
the main part of the pipes, so as to increase the amount of heating surface exposed to
the fire in order to get a higher bottom temperature in the oven than is possible at
present, when the fire is made on the top of the straight pipes
3
By my improved method much smaller area of grate surface will suffice to heat
the oven, and consequently there will be greater economy in fuel, a less quantity, and
inferior quality, sufficing to heat the oven in a more efficient manner, and the top and
bottom heat can be kept more nearly equal, and so enable the baking to be carried on
with greater precision and ease
.

in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the construction of cartridge cases, the case boing borod
out or made to receive a moveable base or end, which is larger than the interior of
the cartridge case, thereby leaving a shoulder or flange for the base to butt against
which will make a more solid joint than if there were no shoulder.
This joint can be packed gas tight by having a ring of paper betwoon the base and
the shoulder, which would jam tight into the joint by the force of the explosion and
prevent the gas from escaping. The joint with the shoulder only if the base is
forced into the cartridge case tube tightly would also prevent the escape of the gas,
without the use of the paper packing, or I may use a disc or flattened sphere of india
rubber or other suitable elastic material to prevent the escape of the gas through the
joint as described and shown in my former patent No. 9073 (1888) for the prevention of
recoil and the blowing back of the cap.
This invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying

We THOMAS GARTON of 14 Lockhurst Street, Clapton, London, E. Ironmonger,
and WILLIAM BARKLEY of 8 Titchfield Terrace, Regents Park, London, N.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 :-
Our invention relates to an improved black varnish or enamel, for application to
metal or other surfaces.
In the manufacture of the improved varnish or enamel according to our invention
we take Coal tar, and boil same until it is ascertained, by removing a small portion
thereof, and running it upon a metal plate, that it is in a condition such as will allow
of its rapidly hardening. Whereupon, and while the tar is still boiling, we add
thereto 25 per cent.-relatively to the quantity of tar employed as above-of pulverized
Asphaltum, the whole being well agitated so as to ensure thorough incorporation or
intimate admixture of the two ingredients. Then, when it is found that this compound is
of the requisite consistency, we add thereto 10 per cent. of Gum Anime-which has been
previously fused in a separate receptacle-and we continue the agitation of the whole,
until thorough assimilation is attained. Should it be found necessary to thin or reduce
the consistency of the admixture or compound produced as above, then, this may be
effected by the introduction of a sufficient quantity of boiled linseed oil when hot.
Finally, we add 10 per cent. of Protoxide of lead (Litharge) and thoroughly incor-
porate same with the compound above described; which, after being allowed to cool
will be ready for use, and by any of the ordinary means generally employed for
applying varnishes and the like.
The Varnish or enamel prepared in accordance with our invention possesses among
other important advantages the feature in an especial degree of great elasticity; thus,
we have found that when say, a thin piece of metal has been coated with said varnish,
or enamel it may be bent without risk of the varnish cracking or flaking off.

page_text: The temperature of the article to be coated, may, with immunity range up to a
comparatively high degree, and is therefore especially adapted for use on heated
surfaces such for instance as Stoves, furnace doors and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said and in
what manner the same is to be performed, we wish it to be understood that we
do not claim separately the use of any of the ingredients above named, but what we
claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is :
The improved black varnish or enamel produced in the manner herein described by
the incorporation or assimilation of the ingredients named in or about the proportions
specified.

I FELIX ALEXANDER SOMMER of 39 Chancellor's Road, Hammersmith, Middlesex,
Professor of Music, 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 relates to a novel construction or arrangement of sleove link con-
sisting of a base plate provided with two pockets at the upper part, these pockets
having spring catches within them for gripping or holding the discs of stud buttons,
or solitaires when pushed home.
The upper shell of each pocket is slotted so that as the stud button or solitaire is
inserted and slid along it spreads, the spring catches open which when the stem has
passed the points of the spring catches they close to and hold the stud button or
solitaire in place.
I fit or arrange a flange on the underside of the top plate of each pocket to prevent
the stud disc getting over the spring catch points.
The invention is shown in the annexed drawings Figures 1 to 5.
A is the base plate of curved shape to conform to the wrist when affixed to a cuff
for wear.
B. B. are top plates, one of which at Figure 3 is removed to show the
chamber or pocket in which the spring points C. C. are fitted. D is the slot in
each top B for the stem E of the stud For solitaire Figure 4 to be slid along.
Gis the flange on the inner face of the top plate B.
The same action of the springs H, H, takes place in both the fastoning of the stud
or solitaire and the unfastening, because both working faces of the spring points C. C.
are of the same angle they consequently separate or open out under the pull or the
push pressure when the stud F is operated.
I have shown a small stud disc at Figure 4, but a larger one may be used if the
legs H, H, of the spring points be set farther apart.

page_text: 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 apparatus as a sleeve link composed of a pocketed base plate with stud or
solitaire affixing spring catches as hereinbefore described with reference to the
annexed drawings.

Commonly known as Music Paper.
I, WILLIAM HOWARD Stationer of 83 Patshull Road, Kentish Town London, 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:
This invention relates to improvements in ruled or printed paper used for the
copying of music and is commonly known as music paper. It is well known that
great difficulty is caused to those who are called upon to read manuscript music,
through the unequal distances at which the Leger-lines are frequently placed by the
copyists. To overcome this difficulty I fill in the whole or part of the space, between
the staves with very faint lines thereby indicating to the copyist the exact position of
all the Leger-lines which may be required. These faint lines may be ruled or
printed or introduced in the manufacture of the paper and may be rendered so that
they may be easily effaced or that they may fade on exposure.
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,
That my invention will not only be the means of reading manuscript music more
easily and correctly, but that it will be of great assistance to the copyist in indicating
the exact position of the Leger-lines and will also be of use in the case of vocal
music where the words are written as in Songs or Glees, by enabling the Copyist to
write them more regularly by making use of the lines as introduced by my invention.

Improvements in Artificial Fishing Baits.
1, ARTHUR JOSEPH BENN, of Longside, in the County of Aberdeenshire, North
Britain, Fishing tackle manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say :-
This Invention relates to Improvements in artificial fishing baits and consists in
attaching to the tail end of a minnow or like artificial bait, one, two, or more hooks
which revolve with the body of the bait, and so render the bait a more ready and
effectual means of hooking or catching fish.
My Invention will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying
drawings, Fig. 1 of which represents a side elevation of an artificial minnow or other
imitation live bait, Fig. 2 a plan view thereof and Fig. 3 a vertical longitudinal
section. A is the body of the minnow which is provided as usual with angular fins B
and a swivel stud C for the attachment of the line. To the fore part of the bait,
hooks D and E are attached in the usual manner. These are supplemented according
to my Invention by one, two, or more hooks F which are attached to the tail part of
the bait in such manner as to revolve therewith, under which circumstances the
complete bait forms a more attractive lure than those constructed in the ordinary
manner. In the drawing the tail hooks are shewn attached to a pin traversing the
interior of the bait, but they may be soldered to the tail of an ordinary artificial
minnow or like bait with approximately the same result. Other modes of attachment
may be devised the principal feature to be observed being that the hooks shall revolve
with the body of the bait.
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 artificial bait having tail hooks such as F so attached that they shall revolve
with the body of the bait substantially as described and illustrated in the accompany-.
ing drawings.

HENRY ROMAIN Upper Eastleigh Eastleigh near Southampton, Decorator &c.
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 a method of applying curtains to doors in rooms and
dwelling houses and other buildings and consists essentially in the application of a
rod immediately above the door frame-carried on brackets, one bracket being fixed to
the door and the other attached to the architrave or frame.
Ends are fitted to the rod by means of brass and other plugs each plug being
retained in position by screwed pins.
On the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents in elevation, the rod &
bracket adapted to operate in accordance with the said invention. Fig. 2 represents
in sectional elevation the means adopted to secure the ends fitted with knob and plug
to the rod. Fig. 3 & 4 respectively represent in side view the bracket shewn above
the hanging style of the door-representing the rod in cross section with screwed
spindles in the bracket penetrating the rod, the rod being held in position by
screwing on the knob (Fig. 4).
Figure 5 and 6 show respectively the end and side view of the bracket-screwed
to the meeting style of the door itself—This bracket carries the rod and gives the play
by means of which the rod passes easily thro' the bracket-eye and carries the
curtain to and fro.

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) The application and use of brackets rods, rings, pins, and curtain in such a
manner as to prevent impeding the opening & shutting of the door-whilst operating
effectually to exclude all draughts from rooms in dwelling houses and other buildings
