Improvements in Tobacco Pipes.
GEORGE CRAIGEN 26 Hornsey Park Road Hornsey London Cigar Salesman
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 is a tobacco pipe its object being to prevent any objectionable
matter entering the stem of the pipe & also has the advantage of rendering the
smoke perfectly cool before entering the mouth. This invention is illustrated &
explained by the accompanying sketch. I fit into bowl A a cup B made of.
meerschaum or any other suitable material having at the bottom perforated
holes C.
Cup B is made of smaller dimensions than bowl A the effect of which is to leave
a space H underneath it between cup B & bowl A of which space we speak
hereafter.
In the interior of bowl A is a ridge D extending to within of an inch of the
top into which cup B is screwed. From the ridge in the interior of bowl A is
bored draught hole E passing through the wood or whatever material bowl A may
be made, reaching to the stem, opposite to this is bored through the wood or
whatever material bowl A may be made draught hole F. These two draught
holes join draught hole G in the stem of the pipe. In the action of using, the
smoke is drawn thro the perforated holes C in cup B. into the space H below
cup B then circulating between cup B & bowl A is drawn equally down draught
holes E & F into the draught hole G in the stem of the pipe. This circulation
of the smoke rendering it quite cool by the time it reaches the stem of the pipe.
Any deleterious matter is simply deposited at the bottom of bowl A in the
space H & cannot possibly be drawn into the stem as there is no direct
communication.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. 2. 3. A tobacco pipe, the novel feature of which is its having two draught
holes viz. one on each side of the bowl & which are connected with the bore in the
stem of the pipe thereby causing the smoke to circulate all round the bowl before
being drawn into the stem & thence into the mouth.

We, DAVID BROWN DOUGLAS STEWART, and WILLIAM DYCE STEWART,
of The Aberdeen Comb Works, in the City and County of Aberdeen, North
Britain, Comb Manufacturers, 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 combs. In accordance with our
improvements we fit a strip of metal, plain or ornamented, and preferably
nickelled, along the back of a horn or other like comb, the metal being preferably
of an inverted U shape approximately, in cross-section, so as to provide a secure
attachment to the back of the comb: but in addition to the said metal back
portion, we so bend the two ends thereof as to produce a metal tooth, plain or
ornamented, at each end of the comb.
The drawing gives a representation of our said comb, a being the metal back
and a¹, a' the metal teeth.
In lieu of making the end teeth out of the same strip of metal, they may be
detached pieces of metal which are afterwards formed in one with the back
metal or the back metal piece with its end pieces may be stamped out or cast
into the required shape.
We have found by experiment that by nickelling the metal after it has been
attached to the comb, a much more finished article is produced than if the
nickelling was done previous to its attachment.
Our improvements are applicable to combs of horn, celluloid, rubber, or other
annalogous substances.
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 :-
1. The improved comb and the method of manufacturing the same, substantially
as herein before described.
2. Forming horn and like combs with metal end teeth in combination with a
metal back, substantially as hereinbefore described.

cut like the letter B, and so on, then the abreviated name, letter or symbol printed
or affixed to each division respectively. In cases where the Bible is not large or
long enough to admit of the index being in one column the said index can be
divided into two columns, thus one for the Old Testament and one for the New
Testament so that the index for the Old Testament would commence with Genesis
at the top and finish with Malachi at the bottom, then the New Testament would
commence with Matthew at the top and finish with Revelation at the bottom.
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

RICHARD THOMAS, ALFRED WILLIAM THOMAS and ARTHUR OLLIVE THOMAS
Tailors, Breeches and Riding Habit Makers all of 32 Brook Street W. in the
Administrative County of London do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an improvement in the form of continuations to the
bottoms of riding or walking breeches and the object of it is to prevent the breeches
rucking up in wear or when pulling on the boots. In the case of men having large
calves and small knee joints the breeches frequently pull up over the knees & shift
from their proper place without some pull from below the round of the calf.
The continuations in general use being made in one piece of material having one or
more seams to shape it to the leg, tend in the case of heavy men to make the legs hot
& uncomfortable besides taking up room in the boot and this improvement is
intended to obtain the same result without this discomfort.
In carrying our invention into effect we employ 4 or more pieces of tape about
6 inches long and attatch them to the breeches. At the bottom end these are
fastened to a garter with one button and forms a skeleton continuation to the

and the hinged part B can be turned down, it is then open for the passage of the
rope, on the said hinged part B, being turned up again into the vertical position it
passes over the tongue E, which faces downwards, the hook G is then turned up.
into a vertical position, the tongue E abuts on the hinged part B which is then
locked and cannot be opened without turning the hook G down at right angles.
A triangular or other projection H is formed on the fixed or rigid side of the
shell, to ensure the hook G being turned to the exact position for the projection E.
to be opposite the slot or opening D of the hinged part B, and so prevent the said
projection E going beyond such slot or opening D so ensuring the locking or
unlocking of the hinged side immediately and without any trouble, as, when the
hinged part is turned up over the tongue, and the hook turned vertically the
tongue grips the hinged side and holds it fast.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
Snatchblocks provided with a side B, self-locking by means of a tongue Ę formed.

follows:-
This invention which we claim as a novelty is constituted in a calendar the shape
of a post pillar box. At the top & bottom of same there is a rotary motion, the
dates being printed on the vertical side of the top which revolves & thus as they
pass the orifice which is pierced in the side of the post box, the dates show through.
The centre one revolves on two spindles so contrived that the ribbon band upon
which the discs are printed revolves against the side of the pillar box.
This combination can be also used for other shapes such as the "monument,"

South Hackney, N.E., a Traveller in the employ of the former, 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 novelty consists in a date calendar, being made in the form of a pillar box,
column lighthouse, lamp-post, or any other design. The body of the calendar is
therefore cylindrical, or partly cylindrical & square, the centre of column being
square. This can be made of card, metal, or any other material.
The dates revolve on two rollers in the centre in the usual manner, but the
upper & lower dates are printed laterally on the outside flange, which forms the lid
& bottom of the box, respectively. As these revolve, which can be done without
removing the box from its place, the dates show through holes cut in the outer
cylinder of case.
Having described our invention, we now proceed with the manufacture in parts,
as per drawing herewith.
"A" is the outer case, in which holes are cut, B. C D. In C there is no novelty,
therefore we need not describe it, but B & D, the dates are printed on the flange
of lid "L," & bottom "M," as these revolving dates are seen.
There is nothing

page_text: therefore to get out of order, so this date box is more durable. The top & bottom
can be used for keeping pins, &c.
Also, it can be extended to a monthly, or yearly, calendar, by the addition of a

Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is,
Principally, the dates revolving on a cylinder, by which means, one cylinder
works within another.

Improvements in Apparatus for Pressing Trousers or other Articles
of Apparel, Table Linen, and the like.
I, GEORGE WHITAKER, of 43 Conduit Street, Regent Street, in the County
of Middlesex, Tailor, 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 my Specification No. 7138 of 1888 I described apparatus for pressing trousers
or other articles of apparel, table linen and the like, this apparatus consisting of
two boards between which the articles are pressed, the upper board being forced
down by a lever and held down by suitable catches. My present invention relates
to an improved construction of apparatus of this kind as I shall describe referring
to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved apparatus part of it shewing the two
boards with articles of apparel or the like held compressed between them, and part
shewing the two boards in the position which they occupy when not in use.
Fig. 2 is a view of the lever by which the pressing is effected.
A is the lower board to which are hinged four bars B each perforated with holes,
and having ratchet teeth along its one edge. C is the upper board on which are
fixed two cross bars D, each of these having at each end a slot, through which can
pass the bar B and in which is pivotted a pawl E. The articles to be pressed
being placed on the lower board A, the upper board C is placed upon them, the
bars B being raised to an upright position and passed through the slots of the
cross bars D. A lever, consisting of a spindle F and a handle G made with a
downward projection H is then applied, the ends of the spindle F being inserted in
holes of the two opposite bars B, and the projection H bearing on a widened part
of the cross bar D. On pressing down the handle G the upper board C is forced
down, and the pawls E engaging in the ratchet teeth of the bars B prevent the
upper board C from rising. When it is desired to withdraw the articles, the upper
board is first pressed a little down to allow the pawls E to be withdrawn from the
ratchet teeth, and then the upper board is free to be raised. It is to be understood
that for pressing or relieving the pressure the lever action is applied at both ends
of the apparatus, either by use of two levers, or by acting with one lever at the
ends alternately.
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 :-
--
In apparatus for pressing trousers, linen and the like the cross bars D having at
each end slots with pawls pivotted therein, in combination with the hinged bars B
having holes and ratchet teeth, substantially as described.

Improvements in Explosive Cartridges, more especially intended
for Use in Mines.
I JOHANN LUX of I Hegelgasse 13, Kolowratring 6 Vienna in the Empire of
Austria 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 has for its object the manufacture of explosive cartridges which
are not liable to cause fire damp explosions in mines. This is effected by providing
the explosive employed in the cartridges with an envelope of asbestos paper which
enables powerful explosives even such as dynamite No. 1 to be safely used, whereas,
as is well known, the employment of such powerful explosives has been hitherto
deemed impracticable on account of the increased danger involved, and notwith-
standing the advantages which they in other respects offer.
Hitherto in the packing of dynamite and other explosive cartridges, paper treated
with paraffin has been used this being a material which will be consumed by intense
heat, but will not begin to burn when brought into contact with a flame resulting
from explosion. It has however, been found that the non-explosibility of cartridges
thus packed was reduced to very narrow limits.
r
Thus, what is known in Germany as Wetter-Dynamit" (or dynamite used in
mines subject to fire-damp) in the condition of free charges of more than
150 grammes explodes in the presence of from 9 to 10 per cent. of methan gases
whilst fire-damp will explode ordinary kinds of dynamite, even when used in very
small quantities.
When, however, even ordinary dynamite No. 1 is surrounded by or encased in an
envelope of asbestos paper, if the cartridge thus formed be kindled with one gramme
explosive caps, in free charges of 150, 200 and 250 grammes (the highest used in
practice) where some of the most sensitive coal-dust is dispersed, and a mixture of
gases of as much as 10 per cent. is present, experiment has shewn that no explosion
or ignition of the coal dust will take place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :—
1. Explosive cartridges wherein the explosive is enclosed in a casing, or envelope,
of asbestos paper for the purpose described.
2. In the manufacture of explosive cartridges secure against danger of causing
explosions in mines; the enclosure of the explosive employed in asbestos paper as
hereinbefore explained.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cord Fastener for Packages.
I, RICHARD TOEPPER, of 19 Blumenstrasse Naumburg a/S in the Empire of
Germany 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 consists in a device intended for connecting the ends of the cord
or string or the like surrounding a package without any knotting and in such a way
that such cord or the like will not become accidentally unfastened, yet may be
quickly and easily unfastened or refastened by hand without injury to the cord.
This device and its method of employment are illustrated in the single figure shown
on the annexed drawing. It consists essentially of a piece of sheet metal attached
to one end of the cord and having the construction hereinafter described. On the
one side is a rounded recess c opening towards the point of attachment 6 for the
cord a, forming a hook, and beyond this recess are two pointed recesses or slits, one
on each side lying at approximately a right angle to each other as shown at d and e.
The parts are so proportioned to the cord that the device may be used as follows..
After the package has been encircled once or more by the cord in the ordinary
manner the free end a¹ of the cord is passed from below through the recess cand
drawn taut. By a motion of the hand the free end of the cord is passed downward
into the recess d and upward on the other side through or into the recess e, and the
cord is thus secured without further manipulation since the recesses d and e are
narrowed or tapered inwardly and consequently grip the cord.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A cord fastener adapted to be attached to the end of a cord and consisting of a
piece of sheet metal having round and tapered recesses in which the free end of
the cord may be drawn tight and secured substantially in the manner described.

Fastenings.
I, JOHANN PETER, of Merchweiler, Administrative District of Treves, Empire
of Germany, Master Locksmith, 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 arrangement by which it is possible to open
and close with the greatest ease and safety-bolts working upwards and down-
wards simultaneously, both on heavy and light doors and windows, by means of a
turning disc and handle, by turning the latter about 90 degrees.
This invention is particularly adapted for buildings where a large number of
people congregate, and, under certain circumstances, may suddenly make a rush
for the exits, for example, in the case of doors and windows opening outwards-of
churches, schools, theatres, and large halls. But the invention may just as well be
applied to all smaller buildings, the doors and windows of which open inward.
In the annexed drawing,
Figure 1 represents a side-view of the bolts or fastener.
Figure 2 represents a plan of the same; and
Figure 3 a cross section on line of Figure 1.
According to this invention, the two bolts a are attached to the double arms bb,
and these again are movably connected with the bolts a and the turning disc cat
points d. The turning disc c is extended into a bent lever, which terminates in a
handle e. Two bearing parts carry the turning disc c, by a bolt, the end of
which bolt carries a circular nut g. The guides secure the bolts in their
position.
In the position represented in Figure 1, the door or window is closed, and in
order to open one or the other, it is only necessary to move the handle e a short
distance upwards, and the bolts a will at once both move simultaneously towards
the axis f, by means of the double-arms bb, thus enabling the door or the window
to be opened immediately.
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:
--
A door or window fastening comprising a turning disc c, extended into a handle e ;
parts in which said disc is carried; locking bolts a a; and double arms bb
connecting the disc c and bolts a a together; the said bolts being actuated by the
oscillation of the disc c about its support through the handle e, and arms bb:
substantially as set forth with reference to and as shewn in the drawings.

An Improvement in Studs.
EDMUND CROCKER 196 Queen's Road, Hastings, Sussex, Refreshment House
Keeper, 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 studs.
proceed to describe my invention fully with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which
Figure 1 is a view of the stud, as it will appear when secure in the button hole
with the nut or collar screwed up tightly.
Figure 2 shews the stud out of button hole, with the nut or collar loose as shewn,
by letter B
I propose to make the shank a screw as shewn by letter A.
Letter C shews the nut which is to strengthen the nut or collar B.
Letter D shews the back of stud which is not shewn in Figure 1.
I propose that the edge of nut or collar B shall be milled for convenience of
screwing.
I propose to make the stud of such material, that it shall be applicable for all
purposes, not only as a collar stud, but as a fastener for boots, or all purposes, where
button holes are used.
I propose to make the stud of metal, bone, vulcanite, ivory, or any composition,
that may be suitable for boot or button studs.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
That it will not fall out of the button hole, as is the case with ordinary studs,.
when the button hole gets old and worn, and will be found of great benefit, to the
wearers of valuable studs should the button hole break away, the stud is perfectly
safe on the material.
The improved construction of studs as hereby described, and shewn with reference
to the drawings, and for the purposes set forth.

page_text: present in the pipe i after the lamp has been turned out, may be run by opening
the cock i'.
The generation of the vapors necessary before the lamp can be lighted is
effected by lighting for a short time the wick protruding from the free end of the
arm n of pipe m provided with wick and communicating with reservoir d.
The knee joint n' is such that the arm n communicates with the pipe m only
when the free end of the former is underneath the receptacle k, as shown in
Fig. 1.
On turning the arm n aside, therefore, communication with the reservoir dis
broken; the small flame may also be extinguished by thus pushing the arm n
aside.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the reservoir d' for the combustible is
annular; a globe, shade, or the like may, therefore, be readily arranged on same.
As illustrated in Fig. 4 the receptacle h¹ may also be annular. The arrangement
shown in Figs. 5 and 6 dispenses with the receptacle (h, h¹).
The pipe o
communicating with the receptacle containing the liquid fuel to be vaporized is so
bent, preferably horizontally, above the chimney c, that it acts as vaporizer; the
pipe p in direct connection with c conducts the vapors to the burner in the manner
aforedescribed.
It will be evident that the various tubes and pipes may be duplicated as
desired acording to requirement and the shape of the lamp; and that the reservoirs
and receptacles may be variously disposed without departing from the spirit of this
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. An incandescent lamp fed by the vapor of combustibles, such as spirit, such
combustibles being vaporized by the heat arising from the products of combustion
of the flame heating the incandescent body, substantially as described and shown
in the accompanying drawing.
2. In an incandescent lamp of the kind described in Claim 1, a tube (e) for
conducting the spirit to a receptacle (/) arranged above the chimney (c), from
which receptacle the generated vapor passes through pipe (i) to the burner (a),
substantially as described and shown in the drawing.
3. In a modification of the incandescent lamp set forth in the foregoing claims,
pipes (o, p) bent and arranged as and for the purposes described and shown in
Figures 5 and 6 of the drawing.

County of Glasgow, Engineer, 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 in writing that is to say :-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to hydraulic hoists,
and has for its object to enable the anchor or arm to which the end of the hoist
rope is attached to be swivelled or turned round and secured in any desired
position.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of carrying same into
practise may be properly understood, I have hereunto appended an explanatory
drawing in which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, Figure 2 a plan view, and
Figure 3 an elevation at right angles to Figure 1, all illustrative of the application
of my improvements to hydraulic hoists.
Referring to these drawings:-
The cylinder A is a steel or wrought iron tube fitted with collars A' on ends,
let into recesses in a cast iron or steel head B. The anchor C is so constructed as
