Improvement in Pince-nez.
CHARLES EDWARD FITZ GERALD M.D. Surgeon Oculist 27 Upper Merrion
Street Dublin and GEORGE PRESCOTT 9 Merrion Row Dublin Electrical
Engineer and Optician do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This improvement relates to those pince-nez of which the lenses and "placquets"
for grasping the nose are separable by a parallel movement and are generally
known by the name of "rigid" pince-nez. These piuce-nez are used chiefly with
lenses intended to correct astigmatism. They cannot be conveniently placed on
the nose with one hand.
It is to obviate this objection that I have attached a wire to one of the slides.
The end of the wire being easily reached by the index finger of the hand which is
used to place the pince-nez on the nose. The wire being attached to the slide
actuating the lens farthest from the hand, being in fact a prolongation of the slide,
or mechanical equivalent, a gentle push with said finger separates the lenses, aud
allows the pince-nez to be placed on the nose with one hand.

Improvement in Pince-nez.
CHARLES EDWARD FITZ GERALD M.D. 27 Upper Merrion Street Dublin
Surgeon Oculist in ordinary to the Queen in Ireland and GEORGE PRESCOTT
9 Merrion Row Dublin Electrical Engineer and Optician do hereby declare the
Dature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvement consists in a prolongation of the sliding parts of "rigid "
pince-nez as shewn in the drawing. A is the right side of the pince-nez with the
handle. B the left side, a portion of the frame of which is prolonged to C. The
usual spiral spring for approximating the lenses is omitted from the drawing.
The prolongation need not necessarily be above the frame. The object of the
prolongation is to permit the "sides" of the frame to be separated or approximated
by the finger of the hand which is employed in placing the pince-nez upon the
nose; thus permitting the pince-nez to be put in position with one hand, with little
risk of misplacing the vertical meridians of the lenses.
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:
A prolongation or addition to the sliding part of "rigid" pince-nez, for the
purpose of separating the two sides, substantially as described.

Improvements in Golf Clubs.
I, RAMSAY HUNTER of St. George's Golf Club, Sandwich, Kent, Golf Club
and Ball Maker, 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 golf clubs and refers more particularly
to that class of metal club known as a "putter," the object being to form the head
of the club in such a manner that the whole of the striking face is clear and
playable, which is effected by bending the head slightly to one side, while the
socket or hozzel instead of running down to the lower edge or sole terminates and
enters the head of the club at the upper edge of the striking surface, while by the
twist or bend given to the club head, the lower edge of the striking face is in a
direct line with the centre of the hozzel.
The advantages I claim for my iuvention are, that it is easier for accurate shots
to be made with my improved club than with those such as hitherto constructed,
and while efficiently fulfilling all the requirements of such a club, when in the
hands of experienced players, it is, at the same time particularly suitable for the
use of amateurs and others not highly skilled in the game.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe saine with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a
side elevation of a golf club head constructed according to this invention and
Fig. 2 is a front view of same.
My improved golf club or putter head consists of the blade or head d which is
slightly bent at c so as to throw the said head towards one side of the hozzel or
socket in such a manner that the lower edge of the striking face is in a line with
the centre of the said hozzel or socket as shown at x, x, and in order that the whole
of the striking face may be clear and playable as shown at a, b, the socket or
hozzel instead of running down to the lower edge of the head d terminates and
runs into same at the upper edge or portion of the said head as shown in
the drawings. s indicates the shaft which is of ordinary and well known
construction.
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 new or improved form or construction of head wherein the hozzel or
socket terminates and enters the head at the upper edge, in such a manner that the
whole of the striking face is clear and playable, substantially as herein described
and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. In combination with a club head such as above claimed the twist or bend
given to the head in such a manner that the lower edge of the striking face is in
a direct line with the centre of the hozzel.

Improvements in the Bearings of Wheels.
We DAVID ROPER of 41 Lindon West Bromwich in the County of Stafford,
Blacksmith and BENJAMIN CROWTHER, of 76 Paradise Street, West Bromwich
aforesaid Carriage Builder do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
Our invention has for its object improvements in bearings of wheels of all
kinds by which the friction is reduced to the least possible minimum while such
bearings are very simple and easily adjusted when necessary and are suitable for
many purposes such for instance as sheaves etc.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood & easily carried into
practical effect we have illustrated the same on the sheet of drawing appended
hereunto.
Figure 1. is a vertical cross section through one of our bearings.
Figure 2. is a similar section to Figure 1. but shewing a double row of balls.
Figure 3. is a plan of one of the bearing blocks or cones B. showing the square
hole b.
In carrying our invention into practice we form a groove a¹ in the hole provided
in the wheel A into which hole the bearing block or cone B is inserted which has
been previously placed upon the axle D. The required number of balls 62 are then
placed in position & the cone B¹ slid into the axle and held in position by the
cotter pin d' or its equivalent. Figure 2. shews the application of our invention
with a double row of balls &. In this case the bearing block or cone B³ is placed
upon the axle first & then the first row of balls are dropped into position after
which the centre bearing block or cone B which has two bearing surfaces is
placed upon the axle & then the second row of balls are inserted & lastly the
bearing block or cone B is placed upon the axle and the whole of them held in
position by the lock nut d2 or its equivalent by which means the bearing can be
easily adjusted.
Although we have shewn and described a bearing with one or two rows of
balls only it must be distinctly understood that we do not limit ourselves to that
number as we can with equal advantage use any number of rows of balls if desired
and also that the axle which is shewn & described as of a square section may
be of any other section so long as the bearing blocks or cones are prevented from
revolving thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
The improvements in the bearing of wheels consisting of the supplemental
centre piece or pieces B with suitable provision such as hole for attach-
ment to a spindle with provision for one or more rows of balls 2. Substantially
as hereinbefore described and shewn on the accompanying sheet of drawings.

A Frictional Grip for Sliding Rods, applicable to Holders of Electric
Lamps, Carbons, and the like.
I, WILLIAM LLEWELLYN PREECE, of Lime Leigh, Burton Road, Derby, in the
County of Derby, 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 :-
My invention relates to a frictional grip which allows a sliding rod to be freely
moved in one direction but holds it firmly when strained in the opposite direction,
unless it be released.
Such a grip is applicable to sliding rods generally, but it can be usefully applied
in particular to the fixing of carbons of electric arc lamps in their holders, to the
clutching and releasing of the rods of such holders, and to the holders for electric
glow lamps.
Fig. 1 is an elevation, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 3 is a sectional plan
of a grip according to my invention for a sliding rod. Fig. 4 is an elevation and
Fig. 5 a vertical section shewing its application as the holder of an electric glow
lamp.
A, Figs. 1, 2, and 3 is a sliding rod which is to be gripped; in Figs. 4 and 5 it is
the cylindrical head of an electric glow lamp. It is passed through a sleeve B which
can slide within a socket C being urged in the one direction by a spring D. In the
sleeve B are cut spaces receiving balls E which are interposed between the sliding rod
or lamp head A and an internally coned part of the socket C.
When the rod or lamp head A is moved in the direction of the arrow it is quite
free, but, when it is pulled in the opposite direction, the balls, tending to roll along
the coned surface of the socket, exert a wedging action on A holding it firmly.
By pushing the sleeve B inwards and thereby moving the balls to a wider part of
the cone, the rod is left free and can be withdrawn. The spring D tends to keep the
sleeve and balls in the position to grip unless the sleeve be moved in opposition to
the spring.
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 frictional grip for a sliding rod or the like constructed and operating
substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Electric Insulating Compound.
I, LOUIS HONIG, Gentleman, residing at No. 2920 Market Street, in the City
of St. Louis, State of Missouri, U.S.A., 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 improved insulating compound consists of the following ingredients combined
in approximately the proportions stated, viz.:
Alcohol-
Gum shellac
Wheat flour
Powdered asbestos
Glue
-
Varnish -
Glycerine
30 parts

"
The different ingredients are mixed and commingled in the following manner:
The gum shellac is cut or dissolved with alcohol and then a sufficient quantity of
powdered asbestos is mixed with the alcohol; then the glycerine and glue are
added, after which the desired quantity of varnish and wheat flour are added to
the mixture and the whole mass thoroughly commingled. The compound is
applied with a brush.
I have found by experience that a compound thus produced is unexcelled for the
purpose of winding lightning arresters and fuse boxes, in setting up rheostats and
in painting of brush holder yokes, switch boards, conduits, iron and wood poles,
connections, moldings, wires, cut-out boxes, lamp hoods, transformers and in fact
anywhere that the protection of insulation is needed.
The relative proportion of the different ingredients may be varied to some
extent according to the different conditions under which it is to be used.
The wheat flour is added to the mixture in any desired quantity for the purpose
of giving it a body and of course the amount of wheat flour required for this
purpose depends largely upon the amount of body desired. The varnish may be
entirely omitted, or the quantity may be varied to suit the circumstances, as it
serves to give the work a finished appearance. The glycerine tends to make the
mixture run smooth, and the quantity used may be varied to suit the conditions
and taste of the user. Glue has a tendency to make the compound tough.
In winding armatures with my improved insulating compound, it is not necessary
to use fine linen and mica, but ordinary cheese cloth will answer every purpose and
do a better job than has heretofore been done with the old compounds in connection
with linen and mica.
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 herein described insulating compound, consisting of alcohol, shellac,
powdered asbestos, glycerine, glue and wheat flour in approximately the proportions
described.

A New or Improved Automatic Protector for Incandescent Gas-light Mantles.

A New or Improved Automatic Protector for Incandescent Gas-light
Mantles.
I, MAX RAPHAEL, of Zimmerstrasse No, 10, Breslau in the Empire of 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 :--
This invention is for the purpose of protecting against dust the incandescent mantles
used for gas-light during the time they are not lighted, dust being a very great
disadvantage to incandescent bodies, as the dust burning when the gas is lighted
effects a quick destruction of the mantle. A non-automatical dust-protector could
be placed upon the lamp-tubes, if the latter were always easily to be reached. For
high-placed lamps it is impossible to take off the usual dust-protector each time
and therefore the dust-protector must be automatical and need not to be taken off
from the tube. By using the improved automatic dust-protectors the flames are
lighted from beneath.
Referring to the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 shows a gas incandescent lamp with the protector,
Fig. 2 front view of protector,
Fig. 3 a side-view thereof,
Fig. 4 a view from below and
Fig. 5 a top-view or plan.
The improved automatic dust-protector consists of a metal-ring a carrying a
gallows-like bent wire b, a mica-plate e being arranged movable upon the vertical
legs of the gallows. This automatical dust-protector is placed upon a lamp-tube,
then the mica-plate, Fig. 1, will close the tube in such a manner, that no dust can
pass to the incandescent mantle.
When the gas-light is used and the gas cock d is opened, the gas passes into
the lamp-tube e and is hindered by the mica-plate c from passing upwards.
The gas thus extends downwards and can there be easily lighted. At the same
moment the uprising warm air lifts the mica-plate to the end of the gallows b and
remains there as long as the lamp is burning. The mica plate serves in this
position as a reflector. When the gas-tap d is closed, the mica-plate falls by its
weight back upon the lamp-tube and closes the latter, as there is no more warm air
rising.
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 :
An automatical dust-protector for incandescent gas-light mantels, formed by a
metal ring a of rectangular cross-section, carrying a gallows-shaped bent-wire, which
serves as guide to a mica-plate, which closes automatically an incandescent gas-lamp-
tube at the moment of the extinction of the flame..

Improvements in Picker Spindles of Weaving Looms.
I, JOE APPLEYARD, of 105, Thornton Road, Bradford, in the County of York,
Reed and Heald Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the picker spindles of weaving looms,
that is to say, the spindles upon which the pickers are mounted; and its object is
to reduce the friction produced by the to and fro movement of the pickers on these
spindles and thereby avoid the necessity of lubricating them.
For this purpose I enamel the spindles, or that part of the spindles upon which
the picker slides with a suitable vitreous enamel. Any hard and smooth enamel
may be applied for this purpose and it may be any desired colour.

Improvements in Picker Spindles of Weaving Looms.
I, JOE APPLEYARD, of 105, Thornton Road, Bradford, in the County of York,
Reed and Heald Maker, 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 the picker spindles of weaving looms,
that is to say, the spindles upon which the pickers are mounted; and its object is
to reduce the friction produced by the to and fro movement of the pickers on these
spindles and thereby avoid the necessity of lubricating them.
For this purpose I enamel the spindles, or that part of the spindles upon which
the picker slides with a suitable vitreous enamel.
A hard smooth and adhesive enamel may be formed by grinding the following
ingredients together
34 lbs. felspar,
19 lbs. quartz,
24 lbs. borax,
16 lbs. oxide of tin,
4 lbs. fluorspar,
9 lbs. soda,
3 lbs. saltpetre.
The spindles are thoroughly cleaned with a hydrochloric acid "pickle" and are
made red hot before the enamel is applied, and care is taken to keep the spindles

page_text: straight whilst they are heated to melt the enamel. When the enamel is partly set
before the rods are cold I preferably apply a coating of tar to toughen it.
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 picker spindle enamelled with a suitable vitreous enamel, as herein shown
and described and for the purpose specified.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Rowlocks.
THOMAS ALFRED HUGHES Foreman and Diesinker Temple works, Temple street
Wolverhampton, County of Stafford, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My improvement consists of the manufacture of Rowlocks having their lower
part (which I hereafter call the Leg) and the upper part (which I hereafter
call the Crutch) made in separate parts and afterwards fitted together to form the
complete rowlock.
That my said invention may be understood reference is given to the accompany-
ing drawings the same reference letter to each figure denotes the same part of
the rowlock:
Fig. 1 shews a sectional view of Crutch (B) with hole at E.
Fig. 2 shews an elevation of the leg (A) shewing at F the part to be fitted into
the hole E of the crutch fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shews an elevation of the complete rowlock with the leg (A) and
crutch (B) fitted together.
The crutch (B) fig. 1 I construct with a hole through its base as shewn at E
fig. 1; this hole may be plain or screwed.
The leg (A) fig. 2 I construct so that one end (F) fig. 2 will fit in the hole E
of the crutch fig. 1 and I fasten them together by rivetting, screwing, brazing or
any other method other-wise than welding-preferably I screw it in and after-
wards rivet it

page_text: Having now articularly 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 use a manufacture of Rowlocks with their legs and crutches made
separately and afterwards fitted. and fixed together to make the rowlock complete
instead of being welded together or made solid."

Improvements in Gloves.
Year: 1896

Improvements in Gloves.
I, EMIL BECK, of 15 Kastulaspl, Prague, in the Empire of Austria, Manu-
facturer, 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 an improved edging upon the edge or border of the wrist
band and wrist slit of gloves; and has for its object to obviate the disadvantages
attending the means of edging usually employed.
The subject of the present invention is illustrated by the accompanying
drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is an underside view of a glove made in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a section through the upper part of the glove, provided with an
edging strip; while
Figure 3 is a similar section shewing an usual old method of edging.
In gloves as heretofore made the edging has been provided as an independent
stripe of leather sewn to the edge al of the glove, as shewn in Figure 3; or the
edge of the wrist band and wrist slit a¹ has been turned under and sewn; or an
independent flat strip of leather has been provided in line with the extremity or
edge al; these methods entail the disadvantage of an insufficiently elastic edge
or border so that a tightness is felt by the wearer; while further it becomes
difficult to button the gloves and the edging becomes readily detached in conse-
quence of the different degrees of elasticity or extensibility of the glove material
and the sewing thread. The irregularity or want of uniformity in the sewing
along the slit also produces folds and pleats which eventually spoil the appearance
of the gloves whilst the button holes are only slightly protected from tearing open
at the edges of the slit.
My invention is designed to obviate these disadvantages attending the usual
methods of edging; and in accordance there with, the leather strip c is connected
to the glove leather proper by means of an overedge seam or sewing e. This
leather stripe (Figure 2) may however be entirely dispensed with, in which case
the overedge sewing or seam e is alone employed for hemming or edging or binding
the slit as shewn in Figure 1.
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. In gloves, fastening the edging strip c, which is arranged at the edge of the
lit a and at the edge a¹ to the glove leather proper b, by means of an over-edge
seam or sewing e.
2. In gloves the use of an overedge seam or sewing e for the purpose of edging
bemming or binding the slit a of the edge or border a'; the edging strip e being
dispensed with.
