Improvements in Supports for Bicycles.
ELIZABETH DARLING, Kilpeacon Rectory, Limerick, wife of Revd. H. Darling,
Rector of Kilpeacon, Co. Limerick, 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 my invention is to enable bicycles to be quickly and easily propped
upright, and held steady whether at home or on the road, and I put same into
effect by some such apparatus as I now describe. A metal rod, about a foot long,
with about an inch of the top end of it slightly bent, and the point of the bent end
squared. This rod is arranged to fit at will a socket made to correspond in size
to the bent head of the rod, and which socket is attached to, or made portion of
the fork of the bicycle (as seen in accompanying sketch) or the axle, or any other
suitable part of the frame.-Another way of doing it would be to have the bent
head of the rod made thicker, and hollowed, and to have a projection on the bicycle
instead of a socket.
Fig. 1 shows the socket A fastened to the frame of the bicycle B and the bent
end of support C inserted into socket. Fig. 2 shows socket A if, in the making
of a new bicycle the socket were made to be part of the frame, instead of being
attached by means of the metal lands aa and the screw 6 as it appears in Fig.
and Fig. 3. Fig. 3 section of Fig. 1 showing the socket A and the bent end of
the support C when inserted into it. F is the hollow tube, or frame of bicycle.
Fig. 4 section of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 support for bicycle, about a foot long, but vary-
ing slightly in length according to size of bicycle. Fig. 6 back wheel, showing
support C in position.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim
is:-
1st. A support for a bicycle in the shape of a metal rod, having a portion of
the top end of it slightly bent, and also squared, or hollowed.
2nd. A socket, or its equivilent on the bicycle to receive the bent end of the rod.

A Knife Cleaning Machine.
I, WILLIAM THOMAS SPENCER, of 37, Chatham Place, Hackney, N.E., London,
Warehouseman, 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:—
I use for my knife cleaning machine a slab of wood, or other material, on which
are supported the knives to be cleaned. The handles of the knives are held between
pieces of wood fixed at one end, the front, of the slab. In order that the knives
may lie flat, and to further secure them, hollows are made in the said slab and
in which the bolsters of the knives rest, the hollows are so arranged, that the
whole number of them, (six or twelve, more or less) form an outward curve, towards
the front of the slab. I secure to the back of the slab, by means of a bolt and
nut, a flat piece of wood, or other material (or I may use two pieces hinged together)
the front part of which is curved, and reaches as far as the bolsters of the knives,
the under surface of this piece of wood I cover with felt, india-rubber or other
suitable material, and on the outer surface of the said piece of wood I fix a
handle.
To clean the knives, the top board or rubber is moved on its pivot to either side of
the slab, the knives are sprinkled with polishing powder, and by means of the afore-
said handle the rubber is moved from side to side over the blades of the knives.
The knives are cleaned first on one side, turned over, and then cleaned on the
other.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood and easily carried into
effect I have added a sheet of drawings.
In Fig. 1a represents the slab.
6 the partitions for handles.
c the hollows for bolsters.
e the bolt that fastens the slab and rubber together.
The dotted lines show the position of the rubber & in Fig. 2.

An Improved Stirrup.
I, EVA CHRISTY, 1A, Dennington Park Mansions, West Hampstead, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention provides a safety stirrup which is devised so that when at rest
it hangs in the position in which it is used, the slot or eye for the reception of the
stirrup leather being made fore and aft instead of from side to side. The rider is
enabled thereby easily to place the foot in the stirrup after having mounted and
replace it should it from any cause come out whilst riding. Further the stirrup
being in the form of a cage or hood the foot can not by any chance become fixed.
Not more than the fore half of the sole of the boot can be inserted and so the foot
is prevented from slipping through up to the heel as in the case of an ordinary
stirrup. Thus, when used by a lady the rider is enabled to use the muscles of the
instep in pressing upwards against the leaping-head of the saddle, which could not
be done were the left foot allowed to slip "home" (viz. up to the heel.)
The illustration shows the side view of a stirrup which consists of a tread B for
the sole of the boot to rest upon. This tread is supported by a bow A similar in
shape to that of an ordinary stirrup. From the front of the tread and from one
two or more points on either side of the tread spring bands of wire or strips of metal-
which curve round the foot upwards and backwards eventually joining either
together or separately the upper part of the bow of the stirrup.
The eye for the reception of the stirrup leather is made not from side to side
in the centre of the bow but fore and aft in the part C which joins the front bar to
the bow.
It is obvious that instead of employing metal in the construction of my cage or
hood, I may use leather straps, a network of string, or a leather or canvas bag
attached to the eye-piece C and to a bow and a tread.
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 stirrup having a cage or hood of metal bars or other suitable material with the
eye-piece for the stirrup strap so arranged that the stirrup hangs in the same
position when it is out of use as that in which it is used, substantially as described
and shown in the accompanying drawing.

I, FREDERICK WILLIAM MAXIMILIAN JESSE, 2, Kelvin Villas, Woodhall Spa,
Lincoln, Technical and Practical Brewer, 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 has for its object the manufacture of a beverage which is highly
palatable and at the same time of medicinal value being made of very simple
ingredients.
I take a sufficient quantity of elderberry flowers or blossoms and tomatoes and
mix by fermentation. The beverage so made is of a highly effervesing nature
and it can be colored with any simple colouring medium or not as desired.
One example of making my beverage is as follows.
I first mix with one gallon of waterstone of English or stone of foreign
tomatoes by crushing them in the water and 1lb. of sugar and a sufficient quantity
of German yeast to cause fermentation, when this has taken place I add about
4oz. of the essence of elder flowers which may be obtained ready prepared or the
same quantity may be made from crushing the flowers.
It will be seen that the proportions of each component part of my beverage may
be slightly varied to suit different strengths of beverage required without depart-
ing from the spirit of my invention.

page_text: Having now particularly & ascertained the nature of my said invention & in
what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
A beverage composed of tomatoes and elderberry flowers or essence substantially
as & for the purpose herein set forth.

JOHN HERBERT DAWSON, 111, Lower Seedley Road, Seedley, Manchester,
Publisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a cylindrical metal reservoir, about 6" long and
3" diameter, into which is inserted a brass tube 9" long, with small tap near the
attachment to the cylinder, and having the other end terminating in the centre of
a sponge firmly attached to the tube.
The cylinder holds about a half pint of water, which is put in by unscrewing
a metal cork containing a spring vent-hole. When the spring of the vent-hole is
pressed down, and the tap in the tube turned on, the water runs into the sponge
and saturates it. When the sponge is sufficiently moist, the tap is turned off till
the sponge becomes too dry. When the wet sponge is placed on a slate,
sufficient moisture is left to enable the slate to be cleaned.

what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This apparatus, Fig. A & B & C consists of a watertight cylinder a, holding
3, of a pint, into which is inserted a brass tube b, 12" long, with a tap cat end
nearest the cylinder. In this cylinder is a brass screw cork d fitted with air
valve e.
At the end of tube farest from the cylinder is a number of holes f f f
between a fixed metal washer 7 and a loose leather one h kept on the tube by a
brass cap i. A large sponge k is fastened between the washers. When the
cylinder holds water, by pushing down the air valve and having the tap open the
water soaks the sponge to any extent desired. By removing the cap at end of
tube, a new sponge can be put on readily. The damper can also be used as a
disinfectant sprinkler.

Yorkshire, Stained Glass Artist, 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 system of decoration suitable for walls or
other similar purposes and consists essentially in the application of coloured glass
tiles or panels suitably prepared for walling or other decorative structures.
According to my invention I employ enamelled colours burnt in on ground,
smoothed or sand-blasted opal glass the said glass being cemented directly to or
against a wall in the shape of tiles for decorative purposes or the said tiles may be
cemented together so as to form a panel.
In order to make the glass adhere to the cement it should be rough-sanded on
the back and by painting the ground or sand-blasted sides with enamelled colours
which are afterwards burnt in by placing the glass in a a suitable kiln or furnace a
very effective and beautiful figure panel in colours similar to a stained glass window
is produced.
The glass surfaces may be completely or partially enamelled in any shade or
colour or combination of shades or colours and they are well adapted for inlaying
buildings or structures both inside and outside and for mouldings columns reliefs
and such like the said enamelled surfaces being perfectly weatherproof.
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) The improved system of decoration consisting in the application of enamelled
colours to ground smoothed or sand-blasted opal glass substantially as described
and for the purposes specified.
(2) The improvement in decorative wall tiles or panels consisting in the
application of enamelled colours to ground smoothed or sand-blasted opal glass

Improved Manufacture of Iridescent Paper or Material.
I, PROSPER PIETTE, Manufacturer, of Freihert, in the Kingdom of Bohemia,
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 iridescent paper or material and the process for manu-
facture. The material has the property of assuming in refracted light, in various
inclined positions, different shade of colour, thus giving special light-effects.
These effects are produced by the paper or material (white or coloured and
which may be of a more less translucent description) being covered or coated
with very small particles of a brilliant sheeny substance. The material may be
produced by hand or mechanically by covering its surface with some sticky
substance and strewing or coating it with a white or coloured powder the material
being employed in sheets or rolls.
The new material is preferably prepared as follows: The material to be
treated (white or coloured) is covered with a thin layer of an adhesive sub-
stance, such as resin varnish, solution of gum-arabic, or the like; said mass
having the property of drying quickly, and as soon as the adhesive material
has sufficiently dried, or becomes tacky, the brilliant fine powder is dusted over
it or applied and remains adhering to the surface without becoming embedded
or absorbed therein. The white or coloured material may consist of powder
of dextrine, potato-meal, powder of asbestos or other substance which is adapted
to impart brilliancy to the surface when in a pulverised or very finely divided
condition.
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. An iridescent paper or material substantially as described.
2. A process for manufacturing iridescent paper or material consisting in
covering the surface of the material with a thin layer of an adhesive material
and subsequently applying to it a fine brilliant powder of vegetable or mineral
origin.
3. The application, of dextrine, potato meal, asbestos or similar material in a
very finely divided condition to paper or material with a tacky coating of adhesive
material substantially as described.

Improvements in Pictures for Children's Painting Books and Sheets.
I, LEWIS WYCHERLEY STONE, of Gatteridge Street, Banbury, 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 invention relates to improvements in picture books for children to colour.
Hitherto the various figures or objects forming such pictures have been out-
lined in ink and then left to be coloured according to taste, or in imitation of a
coloured duplicate.
Now the object of my invention is to do away with all outlining in ink or
pencil and at the same time to present the figures or picture to be coloured in
such a form as to offer great facilities for artistic treatment.
According to my invention I form the book or collection of pictures of sheets of
drawing paper or other suitable material each having a figure or figures, (consti-
tuting the picture) embossed thereon in high relief, by means of stamping with
dies and moulds; thus producing a very natural representation of the various
figures to be portrayed. Coloured duplicates of the pictures may be furnished as
models; or a single coloured picture only may be supplied with each book or
collection of pictures, to serve as a specimen; or where natural objects are om-
bossed no such duplicate or specimen need be supplied so that when colouring the
figures the observation of the child will be cultivated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is;
Books, boxes, or collections of sheets of pictures for children to colour, com-
prising sheets of suitable material each bearing a figure or figures embossed in
high relief, and with or without coloured duplicates or a coloured specimen, sub-
stantially as described.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres.
I, KARL GUSTAV HILLER, of Zittau, Kingdom of Saxony, 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:-
-
The present invention relates to a tubular protecting cover of cotton or linen
tissue or any other hardly extensible material, the object of which is to limit
the dilatation of the air-tube when inflated, the said protecting cover being
arranged between the air-tube and the outer covering forming the rolling surface
of the tyre of the bicycle wheel.
In order to enable to reach easily the air-tube b in case of puncture, the
improved protecting cover is made of several parts a, a¹, a³, overlapping each
other and capable to slide the one upon the other, respectively to enter telescopi-
cally the one into the other, so that the air-tube can thus be uncovered at the
point to be repaired.
In the annexed drawing::
Fig. 1 shows a portion of the air-tube provided with the protecting cover.
Fig. 2 is a view of the complete air tube provided with the protecting cover.
The tube being not inflated, the several parts of the protecting cover can easily
slide the one upon the other, the diameter thereof being larger than the diameter
of the air-tube.
If a tearing of the air-tube 6 occurs at the junction point of two portions of the
protecting cover (as represented at c, Fig. 1) it suffices to slide backwards one
of the said two portions, (a in the drawing) and to proceed with the repairing
in the usual way.
In order to avoid the formation of pads at the junction of two portions of the
protecting cover, the ends of the said portions, overlapping each other, can be
made of half the thickness of the remaining part of the cover. The air-tube,
being enclosed in the protecting cover, forms in combination with an outer
covering, a tyre which will especially be suited for fitting on wooden rims.
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:-
In a pneumatic tyre the combination of a protecting cover of hardly extensible
tissue or other suitable material, arranged between the air-tube and the outer

An Improved Non-puncturing Pneumatic Tyre for Cycles, Motor
Cars, Traps, and Carriages.
ROBERT STONE, Glo'ster House, Watchmaker, Broad Street, Chipping Sodbury,
Gloucestershire. I 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 which relates to an improved non puncturing pneumatic tyre
for cycles motor cars traps and carriages, and is designed to prevent punctures.
And in order that my invention may be properly understood, I now proceed
more particularly to describe the same by reference to the accompanying sheet
of drawings and the letters marked thereon.
The figure shewn on the accompanying drawing represents a full sized section
of a pneumatic bicycle tyre fitted to a rim.
A represents the inner air tube inflated; B represents the non-puncturing
tyre charged with solution and C represents the outer cover of a pneumatic
tyre.
The object of this invention is to prevent the inner air tube A from becoming
punctured, and this result is brought about by means of the non puncturing tyre B
which is charged with a solution made of potash and oils and which does not
harden, so that being pierced by a puncturing material, the rubber (aided by
D 017

page_text: the solution) closes up the hole caused by the puncture and so prevents the inner
air tube A from becoming deflated.
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:-
An improved method for the prevention of punctures in pneumatic tyres, by
means of a rubber tube or tyre charged with solution and placed between the
inner tube and outer cover of an ordinary pneumatic tyre, as shewn on the
accompanying drawing.

many, Widow, 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 medical ointment involv-
ing distillation in which the volatile ingredients which would irritate a wound
are removed from an ordinary mixture of resins by heating, before decomposition
takes place, oil of alder wood resin being added to the compound, after it has
cooled, to replace the substances withdrawn. In this way a perfectly new and
effective resin compound is obtained which for example has the following compo-
ahon.
This compound has been found to be an excellent healing medium and has
been successfully used in all illnesses caused by blood-poisoning

A Burner for Burning Off Incandescence Mantles.
I, WILLIAM MACKEAN, of 14, Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, 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 mantles used for incandescence lighting are, as is known, manufactured by
impregnating a fabric with solution of suitable metallic salt and after drying,
burning off the fabric leaving a skeleton of oxide which constitutes the mantle.
Owing to the conical form of the mantle and the greater thickness of fabric at the
top where it is gathered in, it is difficult to burn off the fabric with the desirable
regularity and uniformity, and consequently there is considerable risk of fracture
of the mantle during the operation.
My invention relates to a burner so arranged as to enable the operator to burn
off mantles rapidly and safely, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying
drawing, which is a vertical section partly in elevation of a burner according to my
invention.
It consists of a lower Bunsen burner A giving a flame B which spreads somewhat
outwards, and an upper Bunsen burner C the flame of which issues from perforations
of a tubular ring D in the form of an inverted cone E. The mantle M to be burnt
off is held by the operator in a position to be acted on more or less by either of the
flames, and is moved up or down between them as may be required to secure the
desired uniformity of action.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A burner for burning off incandescence mantles arranged and operating
substantially as described.
bstantially as described.

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:-
Propellers consisting of a few helical bent blades are generally used for pro-
pelling steamers but a construction resembling a worm conveyor is more suitable
for propelling ships, and this invention relates to a ship propelling device con-
stituted by a

The propeller consists of an ordinary worm or screw with one or more threads
secured at the end of the propeller shaft. To obtain the greatest efficiency possible
the screw should be at least as long as the outer diameter of the screw.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
A ships propeller consisting of a worm or screw with one or more

PAUL OGDEN, of 60, King Street, Manchester, Architect, 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:-
An improved form of curtain holder which to more clearly describe I have added
hereto a sheet of drawings in which similar figures refer to similar parts.
Figure 1 is a section and Figure 2 an elevation in which A and B are pieces
of timber fixed to a ceiling or upper surface shaped and spaced as shewn to enable
the half spheres C to slide along the bed or channel thus formed.
rod D is secured to these half spheres C and to their lower ends, which are looped,
points on the curtain can be sewn, pinned or otherwise attached.
A wire or
It will be seen that a curtain can be held up by a number of these half
spheres C held in the channel formed by A and B and can readily be drawn in
either direction. One of many somewhat similar designs for attaining the same
end, I could use, would be a split tube as shewn in Figure 4 wherein A is the
tube, G a support and C a half sphere or pulley etc. as desired.
One special feature of the arrangement is that the channel can be formed
round any corners and continue for any distance without obstruction to the
passage of the half spheres and the curtain held by them owing to the fact that
the fixing or supporting of A B do not interfere with the movement of C.
In electric lighting I employ a similar arrangement to permit of a lamp being
drawn to and from a fixed point and in Figure 3 a lamp F is shewn with its
flexible wire festooned between and fastened to the wires of the half spheres so
that the lamp can be drawn from the fixed point E at which the current enters,
as far as the wires will permit when the festoons are drawn out to their full
extent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
A method of suspending curtains, electric light wires and similar articles and
appliances by means of an arrangement substantially as set forth.
