Improvements in Hip Baths and Sitz Baths.
I, REUBEN MORGAN of 66 Newington Causeway, London, Plumber and Sheet
Metal Worker 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 :-
Heretofore hip baths and sitz baths have been made with a back sloping
backward in a straight line. Now according to my invention I make the back or
at least the part above the water level with a curve receding sensibly towards the
top edge as shewn at a in the vertical longitudinal section Figure 1 whereby I gain.
the following important advantages viz. a comfortable support for the back, the
shoulders and the head, and also for the foot when the same is rested upon the back
near the upper edge of same for washing it, further the appearance is greatly
improved so as to make the bath more of an ornament thus commanding a larger-
sale.
In a similar way the sides and front end of the bath instead of as now joining the
beading in an abrupt manner I form as shown at b Figure 1 and at 6 Figure 2.
which is a half transverse section with an easy curve imperceptibly going over into
the beading whereby I not only give the legs of the person using the bath a more-
comfortable support when he rests them on 6 Figure 1 with the feet out of the bath.
but also greatly improve the appearance of the bath.
The back of the bath may suitably be made by striking in a mould, or by first.
passing the sheet metal piece through rolls for giving it the hollow curve from side
to side of the bath and then struck in a mould for forming the backward curve a..
It may be made in one or more pieces. Or the whole bath may be pressed up in
say two pieces with the joint lengthways or crossways.
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. Constructing hip baths and sitz baths with a back having a backwardly
receding curve substantially as, and for the purposes, set forth.
2. Constructing the upper parts of hip baths and sitz baths with an easy curve-
which gradually merges into the beading, substantially as, and for the purposes,.
set forth.
3. The construction of hip or sitz bath shewn on the drawing.
4. The mode described of forming or shaping hip and sitz baths.

An Improvement in Floor Coverings.
I, DAVID WOOD IRELAND, of 10 South Gray Street, Edinburgh, in the County
of Midlothian, North Britain, Secretary of a Company, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to an improvement in floor coverings and consists in the
manufacture of American cloth, linoleum, india rubber, gutta-percha, and like
waterproof or washable floor coverings, with an under surface of felt or equivalent
soft material. The object of the said invention is to deaden the noise of walking
upon linoleum and such like, when laid in dwelling houses, offices and other places.
The felt may be attached to the under surface of the linoleum in any suitable manner
such as by glueing.
The advantage of my said improved floor covering is that it has the combined
benefits of a waterproof or washable surface which may be permanently nailed
upon the floor and washed over with the rest of the floor, and of a silent tread, or
deadening of the noise in walking on the ordinary linoleum, and of a soft
comfortable surface to walk upon.

An Improvement in Flexible Tubing.
Year: 1894

An Improvement in Flexible Tubing.
1, WILLIAM HENRY KANZOW BOWLEY, of 114 Holborn, London, E.C.
Secretary, 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 :—
Flexible tubes employed as hose for suction purposes have inside a helix of-wire
to support the flexible material of caoutchouc or impermeable fabric against the
external pressure which, but for this support, would cause the tube to collapse.
The effect of the external pressure is to force the flexible material somewhat
inwards between the convolutions of the helix, and the repeated effects of pressure
acting in this way, added to those of flexure, tend to injure the flexible material.
The object of my invention is to lessen damage produced in this way, and to render
the tubing strong and durable, which I effect by employing, instead of wire helix,
a flexible metallic tube of the kind described in the Specifications No. 9478* of
1885, No. 23375 of 1892 and No. 1476 of 1894. These tubes, as described in
these Specifications, are made by coiling on a mandril a strip of metal corrugated
in such a way that the successive convolutions interlock with each other.
The corrugations have been made in various forms; for my present purpose,
I prefer corrugations such as produce a tube A of the form shewn in the
accompanying drawing which is an elevation partly in section of hose, according to
my invention, consisting of the internal flexible metallic tube A covered with
flexible impervious material such as caoutchouc or suitable fabric B. The metallic
tube A gives the strength and supports the covering B against external pressure,
while that covering prevents leakage into the interior.
The convolutions of A are preferably of section such as that shewn, with broad
flat parts separated by narrow grooves, so that the external covering is supported
over the greater part of its surface, and is not readily forced into the narrow
grooves.
The external cover B, if elastic, such as caoutchouc, may be made somewhat
larger than the metallic tube, so that it can be readily drawn over it, and can
then be reduced in diameter, so as to fit closely on the metal, by extending it
lengthwise.
Fabric may be coiled, sewn, woven or braided on the metallic tube, and may
afterwards be treated with suitable varnish or the like to render it impervious.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
Flexible tubing consisting of an internal flexible metallic tube of the kind
herein described, covered by flexible material suitable for hose, substantially as
described.

Improved Means for Preventing Neckties and Scarfs from Rising or
Revolving on Collars.
EDMUND ROBERT BALLER 16, Cambridge Arcade Southport Lancaster,
Engraver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvements consist in making neckties and scarfs that they will remain on
and around the collar where placed and required, instead of rising and getting out
of place, and are as follows
:-
I fasten to the inside of the neckband of neckties and scarfs, or on the outside
of, or through collars, a piece or pieces of india rubber. When the necktie or
scarf is placed and fastened round the collar the suction of the india rubber
between the two articles, whether on the necktie, scarf or collar will prevent the
necktic or scarf rising or getting out of place.

Improved Means for Preventing Neckties and Scarfs from Rising or
Revolving on Collars.
I, EDMUND ROBERT BALLER, of 16, Cambridge Arcade, Southport, in the
County of Lancaster, Engraver, 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 improved means for preventing neckties and scarfs
from rising or revolving on collars, and consists in attaching to the neckband of
neckties and scarfs a piece or pieces of india-rubber, so that when the neckband is
passed round a collar, and the tie is in position, the india-rubber will bear upon
the back of the collar. The characteristic tendency of india-rubber to cling to
surfaces against which it is pressed prevents the neckband to which it is attached
from rising or becoming displaced on the collar.
A single strip of rubber three inches long by one eighth of an inch wide and
one sixteenth of an inch deep attached to a neckband so that the rubber will lie
against the centre of the back of a collar will be found to entirely prevent the
neck band from becoming displaced; but two or more pieces of india-rubber may
be employed which bear upon the collar at different points.
The rubber is preferably attached to the neckband by stitching, but it may be
attached by means of cement or an adhesive.
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 attachment to the neckband of scarfs or neckties of one or more pieces of

Improvements relating to the Electro-deposition of Metals.
I, JOSEF RUDHOLZNER, of 102 äussere Wienerstrasse, Munich, in the Empire
of Germany, 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:-
My invention relates to the electrodeposition of metals.
Articles which are to be coated with metal by electrolysis and some parts of
which are subject to greater wear than other parts necessitate care in the distri-
bution of the metallic coating. For the purpose of enabling the thickness of a
metallic deposit on an article to be varied at will I arrange in the electrolytic bath
between the article and the anode freely suspended plates consisting of insulating
material, such as glass, ebonite or the like, and provided with larger or smaller
apertures. By this means the parts of the article which are directly opposite the
apertures receive a thicker coating of metal than those parts which are protected
more or less from the direct action of the current by the plates suspended in
front.
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 :--
First. In the electrodeposition of metals the method of obtaining a coating of
varying thickness by partially diminishing the action of the electric current upon
the article to be coated.
Second. In the electrodeposition of metals the method of obtaining a coating of
varying thickness by interposing an insulating layer between the article to be coated
and the anode.
Third. In the electrodeposition of metals the method of obtaining a coating of
varying thickness by suspending an insulating plate between the article to be coated
and the anode.
•
Fourth. In the electrodeposition of metals the method of obtaining a coating of
varying thickness by suspending between the article to be coated and the anode an
insulating plate provided with apertures after the manner of a stencil plate.

Sainte Cécile, Paris, in the Republic of France, 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 :-
Hitherto squares or tiles of porcelain, pottery and other ceramic products have
been employed for the coating or covering of walls, separating partitions in
bath-rooms, and the like, and for other purposes, but the squares or tiles so formed
have the disadvantage of being of very small dimensions which it is impossible to
exceed in practice.
The present Application relates to a new vitrified material which, on the
contrary, may be made in the form of panels of any dimensions.
66
The composition of this new product to which we have given the name of
Opaline laminée is as follows:-
"
This proportion gives good results, as we have found by experience, but we
nevertheless reserve the right to vary it according to the uses to which the material
is to be applied.
'
Our new material is made in the form of plates of any dimensions or thickness
and is capable of receiving any suitable designs.
It can be employed rough or polished and can also be ornamented or decorated
by the ordinary processes.
This material offers great advantages from the æsthetic, bygienic and con-
structive points of view, since large panels produce a much more satisfactory
effect than a series of small squares or tiles, they are more easily maintained in
good condition by reason of the suppression of joints, and can be more rapidly put
in position.
Our new material thus admits of all the applications of porcelain, squares or tiles
of pottery and other ceramic products, whether for covering walls, partitions in
bath-rooms, and the like, or for other purposes.

page_text: 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 :-
The new industrial product which we term "Opaline laminée" and which is
composed of silica, baryta, and soda in suitable proportions, substantially as above
described and for the purposes specified.

Improvements in Gas Cocks.
I THEOPHILUS HANDEL Manager Gas Works Ilminster Somerset 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 improvements in gas cocks and refers more particularly to
those intended for street lighting purposes, and consists essentially in placing the
levers for turning the gas on and off in a more convenient and handy position for
actuating same than heretofore.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, the gas cock is constructed in the
ordinary manner, the gas passing through a passage in the plug and through the
usual passage in the cock to the burner, while the double armed lever for turning
the gas on and off is placed in such a position that one of the arms is always vertical
and consequently easier to operate than those hitherto constructed.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved gas cock, Fig. 2 being an end view
of same.
Fig. 3 is a detail of the plug showing the gas passage.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
The gas enters the cock at a and passes through the passage b in the plug into the
hole c whence it passes through the tube d to the buruer. The set screw g serves to
keep the plug in position while a projecting pins is provided which comes into
contact with the edges of the flange m in the "on " and "off" positions.
The double armed lever ff is placed in such a position that the lower arm is
always vertical (as shown in Fig. 2) so that the gas can be easily turned on and off
by simply pushing up one of the arms.
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 gas cocks, the placing of the double armed lever in such a position that one of
the arms is always in a vertical position, substantially as herein described and
shown, and for the purposes specified.

An Improvement in Golf Handles or Shafts.
FRANK BRYAN 38 Charterhouse Square London E.C. Athletic Goods-
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Hitherto the handles of golf clubs have been covered with woollen or other
similar material over which is placed an outer covering of leather either fixed
spirally or sewn on, both these methods have serious defects as they become
disarranged or detached.
By my method I dispense with the woollen or other material & use only a strip
or strips of solid leather which I fix to the handle of shaft preferably by glueing &
then finish off to the required shape, I thus obtain a handle which gives a perfect
grip, without any seams or other projections & which is quite immovable.

Improvements in the Construction of Bricks for Securing a Perfect
Joint and Bond.
I, STEPHEN ISAAC ADAMS "Ravenhurst" York Road Southend-on-Sea
Essex Surveyor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
Bricks as heretofore made with the ordinary frog do not adequatly answer the
desired purpose of securing a perfect joint or bond.
I propose to remedy these defects by constructing a brick with two "dovetail-
keyed frogs" which extends through the width of both sides of brick as shewn.
By this mode of constructing bricks the mortar will key the bricks together, thus
not relying entirely on the adhesion of the mortar to the bricks-as in the ordinary
bricks and further the continuous frog or key will insure a thorough bond.
Fig. 1 of the drawings is a plan of the underneath and top surface of brick.
Fig. 2. is a side view of brick.
Fig. 3 is end view of brick.

Essex, Surveyor, 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 remedy these defects by constructing a brick with "dovetail-keyed" frogs A
as shewn in drawings filed with my Provisional Specification to be used in any
part of the brick as required for securing a perfect joint and bond and the open

Folding Bidet.
J, GUSTAV HEINRICH HEINSIUS VON MAYENBURG of 10 Tieck Street,
Dresden-Neustadt, 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 substantial novelty of the bidet described in the following, consists in its
capacity to be folded, in consequence of which it takes up very little room when
not in use and can easily be carried along on a journey.
The accompanying drawing show the details of its construction; viz.
Fig. 1 shows the bidet folded up;
Fig. 2 shows the lower corners of Fig. 1 in an increased scale ;
Fig. 3, the side-view of the bidet partly unfolded ;
Fig. 4 a section along x-x of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5. the side view of the bidet set up ready for use.
The bidet consists of a wood frame x (Fig. 4) which is rounded off at the two
sides, and to which the waterproof material, forming the bath A, is attached. The
upper border of the frame is provided with an ornament B of cut-out wax cloth or
the like (Fig. 5). To the under-side of the wood frame, another frame C, of well
tinned or zinced iron and of the same shape, is screwed, which serves for fixing the
folding legs. The legs are formed of two frames a and a¹ of well tinned or zinced
band-iron, which are arranged at each broad and narrow end of the bidet. The
closed portion of these frames is put upon the floor (Fig. 1).
The frames a and a' are turnably fixed to the frame C by means of adjoined
pieces projecting from the latter, and at their open ends provided with spurs d,
which, when the apparatus is set up, lean against the frame C insuring a safe hold.
At the closed side of frame a, turnable props, also of strong tinned band-iron are
provided, one at each side, forked at their free end at 9 (Figs. 1 and 2); the fork
catching round the lateral arms of the frame a¹ when the bidet is set up. Through
one of the tines of the fork goes a screw riveted in the same, being thus prevented
to drop out, and fastening the props fat the frame a' (Fig. 3).
When the bidet is required to be packed up, the screws h are turned back, the
props f folded to the frame a, and the two frames a and a' folded down on the
bath A, which folds together. To ensure this position, straps may be drawn over
the folded down frames, through the shackles i riveted on the frame C, which
straps may also be used for carrying the bath A when the bidet is set up.
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:
A folding-bidet, of which the frames a and a¹ forming the legs, are folded down
to the bath A. consisting of waterproof material, the bidet, when set up, being
fixed by turnable props f securing the frame by means of the screws h and the
spurs d.

Raising,
I WILLIAM MEAKIN of 84 Baker Street, in the County of London, 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 the construction of the means or
apparatus for raising lowering and securing sliding window sashes described in the
Specification of the Patent granted to me No. 916 of 1869.
The object of this my present invention is to produce apparatus of the kind
referred to in the aforementioned Specification which possesses greater strength
and durability combined with an increased power of resisting any attempts to open
it from the outside, than apparatus made in the manner described in the said
Specification.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a vertical section shewing the meeting rails of the top and bottom
sashes of a window fitted with my improved apparatus.
Figure 2 shews a front view and Figure 3 a plan of the same.
Figure 4 is a section of the locking device, taken on the line xx of Figure 1 and
Figures 5 and 6 shew front and side views of the locking plate.
The carriage or outer casing of the locking device shewn partly in section in
Figure 1 consists of a base plate A and two sides B B joined together with the cap
piece C. To this carriage is pivotted by the pin D the moving portion of the
locking device which carries the anti-friction pullies E E and also the attachment K
around which is coiled one end of a spiral spring F, the other end of this spring
The
being secured in a recess formed in the base plate A as shewn in Figure 4.
attachment K is pivotted at L so that as the moving portion of the locking device
works round the centre D, the attachment K will so adjust itself as to be always
central in the spring F. The two cheeks which form the sides of this moving part
of the locking device marked G G are connected together by the cap piece Ha
projection from which, marked I engages in the notches formed in the locking plate
marked J shewn in Figures 5 and 6 and which is screwed to the side rail of the
upper sash.
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 :-
The improved apparatus for raising, lowering, and securing sliding window
sashes, constructed substantially in the manner hereinbefore described and illus-
trated in the accompanying drawings and for the purposes stated.
