Improvements in or connected with Surgical Pads.
JOHN MILNE, Antiseptic Dressings Factory, Ladywell, London, S.E., Surgical
Dressings 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 consists of a mass of Tow, Jute, Cotton Wool, Wood fibre, wadding,
lint, moss or other absorbent material of any size, shape, or bulk, having a covering
of any suitable porous openly woven material such as muslin. This forms a pad,
which is then attached to, or used in conjunction with, a piece of woven material
which overlaps it (when applied to any part of the human or animal body) in all
directions, and protruding at two or more, or all sides or around the pad to any
desired length or degree of distance, or in narrow strips from the four corners of the
pad if it be rectangular or square in shape, or in strips at convenient distances when
other shapes are adopted. Safety or other pins or fasteners may be attached to or
used in conjunction with the dressing thus formed, and antiseptic reagents may be
enclosed, attached to, form part of, or be used along with this dressing, and the whole or
a part of same may be medicated if required. For certain purposes a piece of india-
rubber or any other suitable water-resisting cloth or material is attached to the back
or other part of the dressing; Plaisters, Embrocations, Solutions, Poultices and the
like may be added to or be employed in conjunction with the dressing, and may thus
form a part of same.
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. A wound pad made of absorbent materials substantially as described.
2. In a wound pad, a covering of a suitable material of such size as to protrude
beyond the pad itself, in one, two, or more directions, to any distance, in substance or
strips, as set forth.
3. The use of safety or other pins or fasteners in conjunction with the pads when
required.
4. The use of antiseptic reagents, or other medicaments, in conjunction with the pad
when required.
5. A wound pad medicated wholly or in part as requisite or necessary.
6. The addition of a piece of india-rubber, or other suitable water-resisting cloth
or material attached to the pad if required.
7. The use of the pad in conjunction with plaisters, embrocations, solutions,
poultices, fomentations and the like when required.

Improvements in Automatic Sanitary Flushing Cisterns.
I SAMUEL HENRY ADAMS Sanitary Engineer Monkbridge York do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My improvements consist in the design & formation of the syphon apparatus to be
placed in a suitable cistern or chamber the syphon being a modification of my patent
No. 727-81. In the present apparatus the syphon is untrapped except at the time
immediately before the tank becoming full. Under the syphon outlet. I provide a small
tipping bucket which empties itself at each discharge. The liquid filling cistern to
level of syphon overflow, will pass away to tipping bucket partly filling it & thus
locking air within the syphon, this air locking will now hold back the water until a
higher level is reached when again the water will pass away to tipping bucket filling
it, causing it to tip & empty its contents, unsealing syphon outlet & thus setting up
syphonic action.
Reference to drawings attached will explain my apparatus in which A. is the cistern.
B. is the tipping bucket, and C is the syphon.
And now having particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1st. The use of a tipping bucket placed under or in connection with a syphon outlet
such bucket falling and allowing air to escape and setting up syphonic action, or an
equivalent arrangement.

JOSEPH WALKER 4 Railway Terrace Southport Railway Servant JOHN HANNAB
GOLD 54 Princes Street Southport Ironmongers Apprentice, 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 invention consists of a Funnell of India Rubber or other suitable material
seo A on drawings which Funnell may be made of any convenient form to fit the
sticks of Umbrellas, Parasols, Portable Tents or ordinary Tont Poles; and having a
Funnell Mouth of a Bell or other suitable shape see B on drawings, through the centro
of which the Stick or Post passes. A Beading of India Rubber or other suitable
material on the outer edge strengthens the same.
The Funnell is secured on the stick but by its elasticity is enabled to be pushed up
or down as may be required either to hold firmly the ends of the ribs of Umbrella,
Parasol or Tent or to loosen the same.
When the Umbrella, Parasol or Tent is closed the Funnell being pushed forward,
the ends of the Ribs of the Umbrella, Parasol or Tent are received into its Bell
Mouth Cavity constructed for that purpose and are thus prevented from being strained
or moved out of place by wind or other power.
The Ribs being thus firmly secured by their ends being held in place by the Bell
Mouth Funnell, the silk, cloth, or other material of which the Unibrella, Parasol or
Tent may be made is prevented from being creased & thereby damaged.
When the Umbrella, Parasol or Tent is opened for use, the Funnell Protector being
secured firmly on the stick enables the holder to have a firmer grip of the stick than
he otherwise would do.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what mannor same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1st. That the ribs of the Umbrella, Parasol or Tent are firmly secured against
wind or other power.
2nd. That the Ribs are casily released when the Umbrella, Parasol or Tent is to
be opened.
3rd. That a Firm Grip is given to the Handle by it.
Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Cream Confectionery.

page_text: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Cream
Confectionery.
I, ROBERT STUART MURRAY, of No. 4 The Terrace, Camden Square, London,
N.W. Manufacturing Confectioner, 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 my invention has reference to cream confectionery and to certain apparatus
for the manufacture thereof. The said invention has for its object to dispense with
the crystalizing of the confectionery, and further to dispense with starch powder in
making moulds for the production of articles of this class. By this my invention
there is a saving of labour and no waste of material.
I now proceed to describe my said invention, reference being had to the accom-
panying drawings and the figures and letters of reference marked thereon; like letters
referring to similar parts throughout.
Fig. 1. shows a side view of one portion of the mould forming part of this inven-
tion, and Fig. 2 is a plan of same. Fig. 3. shows the manner in which the several
portions represented in Figs. 1 and 2, are arranged in a case to form a complete
mould.
In producing cream confectionery in accordance with this my invention I make
the cream in the usual way as for crystalizing, but to every twenty five pounds of
sugar I add one table spoonful of glycerine, which, by its action obviates the necessity
of crystalizing the cream.
The cream, thus prepared is then poured into moulds A, which are preferably made
of metal, but which may also be made of any other material not easily broken. I
prefer however to make the moulds of galvanized iron this being cheaper than other
metals for this purpose, and which moulds may be of any suitable shape, and be
made to fit a suitable frame B as shown in Fig. 3. The moulds may be of any
desired configuration at C in order that they may produce, cubes, squares or other
shanes.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st. In the manufacture of cream confectionery, the addition of glycerine to the
cream, prepared in the usual way, but without crystalization, substantially as and for
the purposes herein before set forth.
2nd. In the manufacture of cream confectionery, the use of moulds, constructed
of metal, (preferably of galvanized iron), or of other suitable hard and weighty
material, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

page_text: My invention as applied to Billiard Cues is found to be invaluable, inasmuch as the
objectionable liability of the tip becoming detached is avoided, in a neat, simple and
efficient manner hereinafter described.
I now proceed to describe my said invention, reference being had to the accom-
panying drawings and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon; similar
parts being designated by like letters throughout.
Fig. 1. is an elevation of so much of a walking stick, umbrella stick or billiard cue
as will serve to illustrate the nature of my said invention. Fig. 2. is a sectional
elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3. is a sectional elevation showing an alternative form of
my said invention.
The walking stick, umbrella stick, or billiard cue A is fitted with a ferrule B, which
may be secured in the ordinary way by pins a, and which is of conical form as
shown. In the lower part of this ferrule I insert a plug of india rubber or other
suitable soft and elastic material C, which is also slightly conical in form to adapt
itself to the interior of the ferrule, through the lower end of which it projects as
shown. It will be readily understood that the rubber or flexible material C, is held
securely in place by reason of its being tapered or of conical form.
In Fig. 3 I have shown an alternative form of my invention, in which I insert in
the ferrule B a piece of metal D which is pressed outwards by a spring E, or a piece
of yielding or elastic material interposed between the piece of metal D and the end of
the stick A.
I wish it to be understood, that I do not confine myself to the application of india
rubber only to walking sticks etc., inasmuch as I may employ other materials of a
like nature, such as leather, cork etc.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
(1) The application to the ends of walking sticks, umbrellas, billiard cues and the
like, of a tapered or conical ferrule in combination with a piece of india rubber or
. other flexible or yielding material, substantially as, in the manner and for the
purposes herein before set forth.
(2) The application to the ends of walking sticks, umbrellas, and the like, of a
tapered or conical ferrule in combination with a piece of metal and a spring or.a
piece of yielding or elastic material interposed between the said piece of metal
and the end of the stick, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
(3) The application to a walking stick, umbrella or the like, of yielding or flexible
material, or of any device such as that described, which will give or yield when
brought forcibly into contact with the pavement or road, substantially as and in the
manner hereinbefore set forth.

Improved Apparatus for Washing Photographic Negatives and
Prints.
We FRANK BISHOP, of firm of the Marion & Co. of 22 and 23 Soho Square, London W.
Photographic Stationers &c. and DAVID ALLAN, of 157 Whitfield Street, Fitzroy
Square, London W. Zinc 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:-
This Invention relates to an improved washing trough for photographic negatives
and prints and the invention has for its object to adapt the plate holder or rack to
act as a drainer and the trough to receive the drainage from the plates after washing,
the rack being for this purpose fixed adjustably in or above the trough, according
as it is being used for washing or draining the plates.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this
specification, in which figure 1 is a side elevation, shewing the rack in position for
draining the plates; figure 2 is an end elevation, and figure 3 a plan, of figure 1.
Figure 4 is a vertical section, shewing the rack in position for washing the plates.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.
A is the washing trough, provided with an outlet chamber B beneath communi-
cating with the trough by perforations in the bottom thereof and with the ordinary
discharge syphon C and spray inlet tube D. E is the plate-holding rack, in which the
plates are held cornerwise as in the ordinary plate draining racks. This rack is
supported in the trough by end rods F passing up over the edge of the trough and
fixed to the upper ends of a pair of vertical rods G fitted to slide up and down in
guide eyes H fixed to the outside of the trough, the sliding rods G being secured in
any desired position by binding screws h. The vertical adjustment of the rack
permitted by the sliding rods G is sufficient to enable the rack to he raised to,
and fixed at, a point wholly above the water level in the trough, the rack remaining
directly above the trough so that the drainings from the plates will fall back into
the trough and the spilling of the water, which is unavoidable when the rack is
removed wholly from the trough, will be avoided. It will be obvious that the end
rods F, instead of being fixed to the rods G, might terminate in eyes adapted to slide
up and down on the rods G and be secured adjustably thereto by set screws, the
rods G being in that case fixed to the trough without sliding adjustment.

page_text: The rack may be entirely removed from the trough when the latter is to be used
for print washing or the operations of washing the prints and draining the plates may
go on concurrently.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
A photographic washing trough having a plate rack adapted to be fixed adjustably
in or above the trough in the manner described for the purpose specified.

I, CHARLES FRANCIS BROADBENT, of No. 826 N. Canollton Avenue in the City of
Baltimore and State of Maryland, United States of America, Gentleman, 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 :-
This invention relates to a new composition of matter which may be melted and
poured into molds of various kinds to produce articles of use and ornament, as will
hereinafter fully appear.
The said material consists of the following ingredients, that is to say, sulphur,
pumice stone, powdered antimony, and ivory black or drop black. The proportions
which I prefer are as follows: Sulphur, one hundred parts; pumice stone, fifty parts;
powdered antimony, one part; and ivory or drop black, twenty parts. I do not
however limit myself to the proportions herein stated, as considerable change may be
made without altering the character of the material.
The materials, as above, are melted together in a suitable vessel and thoroughly
stirred to make the mass homogeneous, and while in this condition poured in a mold
prepared for their reception.
The leading ingredients of the composition are sulphur and pumice stone, these
forming the base; but the other ingredients have their uses,-viz., the antimony to
give the casting a metallic lustre, and the bone black to produce a decided color and
one which is uniform throughout the entire mass.
Pumice stone, no matter how finely divided, still consists of porous fragments
the cells of which in the mixing process are filled with the melted sulphur, and the
fragments of pumice stone are by that material joined firmly together into a inass.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A new composition of matter for the purpose described which has for its base,
sulphur and powdered pumice stone, combined substantially as specified.
2. A new composition of matter which consists of sulphur, pumice stone, powdered
antimony, and bone black, all combined substantially in the proportions set forth.

1 EDUARD MURJAHN of Grosser Burstal 5 Hamburg 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 consists in a method of producing a useful material or materials from
greenstone, diabase, actinolite and similar varieties of Hornblende which have generally
been considered hitherto as of no economic value.
To this end the said minerals or any of them in the condition in which they are won
from the earth are first dried and then ground fine and mixed with a sufficient quantity
of water to form a thin paste, acids may then be added thereto for instance hydro-
chloric acid or sulphuric acid in proportions up to 100% of the weight of the raw
material, and this mixture according to whether the material to be formed is for finer
or rougher work may be boiled, or may be simply stirred up cold. It is then washed
and the residue dried.
The residue obtained by the addition of hydrochloric acid forms a white powder
useful for delicate purposes, for instance paper manufacture, whilst the powder treated
with sulphuric acid is applicable for the manufacture of rubber compositions and
paints.
The powder simply obtained by drying grinding and washing is also useful for
rougher purposes for instance as a fireproof filling or lagging material.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The method of producing a material or materials from greenstone, diabase, actinolite
or other varieties of hornblende consisting 1. In drying the material, grinding the
same and washing. 2. In drying the material, grinding the same and adding thereto
an acid or acids either heating the same or treating in a cold state and subsequently
washing the product.

Improvements in Pipe-wrenches.
I, HENRY HARRIS Lake, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide an adjustable pipe wrench operating
upon the "alligator" principle, which shall avoid the tendency in such wrenches to
crush the pipe, under great resistance to rotation.
In "alligator" wrenches as heretofore made, one of the jaws is preferably without
serrations, or teeth, for the purpose of ensuring a secure hold being taken on the pipe
or rod by the toothed jaw, through the sliding of the pipe upon the sinooth jaw up into
the angle formed by the two. Under severe strains, however, it is found in practice
that in thus forcing the pipe into the wedge-shaped opening of the jaws, there is
considerable tendency to flatten or crush the pipe operated upon.
To avoid this tendency, the smooth or untoothed jaw in this invention is formed
with one or more steps in it of such form that, under a given adjustment of opening,
the pipe may slide upon the smooth jaw until the toothed jaw has taken a firin hold,
and further entrance of the pipe into the opening of the wrench be prevented by
contact with one of the steps formed in the snooth jaw.
The accompanying drawing shows a side elevation of a wrench which forms the
subject of this invention, provided upon one jaw with the steps above mentioned.
In the said drawing 1 indicates the stationary jaw, in which is formed steps, as
at 2 and 3. 4 indicates the movable serrated jaw; 5 the washers; 6 the rivet; and 7
the screw upon which the adjusting nut 8 works. The dotted circles resting on the
steps formed in the smooth jaw at 2 and 3 show the operation of the jaws upon different
sizes of pipe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is :---
In an adjustable wrench operating to rotate pipes, or rods, by means of a wedge-
shaped opening, on what is known as the "alligator" principle, the combination of a
toothed, or serrated jaw on one side of the angular opening, and a smooth jaw on the
other side containing one or more steps or stops, as 2, 3; whereby the opening between
the jaws may be so adjusted that a firm hold is taken by the toothed jaw, and flattening
or crushing of the pipe or rod avoided, substantially as set forth.

I HENRY JOHNSON of Commercial Street, Batley in the County of York, Jeweller,
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 apparatus consists of ordinary clock mechanism or trains of wheels, which
operate a crank or revolving bar, which in turn operates upon two or more projecting
cams upon a plate attached to the suspension bar which forms the hanger for one end
of the cradle, cot, or chair; the suspension bar is self adjustable upon the cradle ;
should the child move and get more on one side than the other, the bar comes in
contact with a stud, and selfactingly regulates itself, the bearings of the hangers are
knife edged, and rock upon concaves attached to adjustable brackets secured to the
frame.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of cot and apparatus complete.
Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1. showing end of cot with suspension bar, and
escapement mechanism.
Fig. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are enlarged details of suspension bar, bearings, and escapement
mechanism.
A is the cot, cradle or chair, B is the frame, C is the hanger, with knife edged
bearing D, C is the suspension bar, with bearing D, E is the concave bearing bracket,
upon which the bearing of the hangers work; the suspension bar is secured to the cot
by means of a bolt or stud F, and bearing strips G and H on the end of the cot, J is
the revolving crank or bar, equally balanced, and at one end of the crank or bar is
a stud or pivot on which is a runner J¹ hollowed so as to hold an indiarubber ring,
which softens the sound, this runner runs round and operates upon the rounded
part of the cams K and K', upon the plate L, so as not to check the cot in its
oscillation, but allowing it to have a free swing.
In the escapement the plate L is secured to the suspension bar by bolts or screws,
and is adjustable by means of the slot M, the cradle, cot, or chair thus swings
backwards and forwards, and should the child move in the cradle so as to get its
weight on one side of the cradle, the bottom part of the suspension bar C₁ comes in
contact with one of the studs or stops N, and it self actingly nioves the suspension bar
so that it is placed in true balance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that I do not
claim the principle of operating or swinging cots, cradles and chairs by clockwork
mechanism, but I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The escapement mechanism, as and for the purposes shown and described.
2. The self adjustment of the cradles when not evenly balanced, by the suspension
bar or its equivalent, substantially as shown and described.

A New or Improved Pasteurizing Apparatus.
I, WILHELM AUGUST VOLLMER of Apenrade, in the Empire of Germany, 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:-
This invention relates to an apparatus for pasteurizing beer and has for its
purpose to allow of the treatment of larger quantities than heretofore, the
pasteurizing process having up to now been restricted to bottled beers for export.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view, and
Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the improved apparatus, which consists of an.
outer and inner receptacle A and B closed by the common front side w. Between
the two jackets and rear walls of these receptacles is situated the water-reservoir
which entirely surrounds the receptacle B, except at its front side, and which is filled
from the tube e and emptied through tubo f. Inside the water reservoir a tubular
coil is wound around the receptacle B, which by means of the two-way cock h can
be brought alternately in connection with the steam-pipe d and the cooling pipe K
of an ice or refrigerating machine and discharges the waste water through pipe t.
The receptacle B serves as a recipient for the beer or other liquid to be treated, which
is fed and discharged through pipe S. The two thermometers p serve for watching the
temperature, the manometer m, for measuring the pressure, the valve v for safety, the
gauge 6 for ascertaining the level of the liquid, and the man-hole n, for the purpose of
cleaning, all of which parts are fitted in the front side w. A small aperture o likewise
provided in the front side w, is opened during the filling or emptying of the
receptacle B and closed during the process by means of a plug or stopper.
On supplying steam to the tubular coil through the two-way cock h, the surrounding
water and consequently also the fermenting liquid in receptacle B is heated until the
temperature of 60° Centigrade, sufficient for annihilating the bacilli of fermentation,
is attained.
This temperature is kept up for a short time and subsequently reduced to the
normal temperature of the cellar by shutting off the steam and opening the cooling
conduit.
By the application of the above process and apparatus not only beers for export hut
also any other beers can be rendered more lasting and wholesome than heretofore.
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 pasteurizing apparatus consisting of two receptacles A and B, a common front
side
10, and a coil r surrounding the receptacle B substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.

Improvements in Artificial Teeth.
JAMES RHODES 59 Infirmary Road Sheffield in the County of York Dentist 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 have invented Improvements in Artificial Teeth by making what is known in the
dental profession as Flat teeth with a button or undercut projection at the back of
them instead of platinum pins or any other mode to secure them in dental rubber or
any other plastic material suitable for dentistry. The flat tooth and button are of the
same or similar material and become united in the firing. I do not confine myself
as to the shape of the button wheather round square oval or any other shape nor to
one button.
Fig. (1) in the accompanying drawing shows a side view of a flat tooth with the
button (a) or undercut projection at the back of it.
Fig. (2) shows a three quarter view of a flat tooth with the button (a) at the back
of it.
Fig. (3) shows a full view of the back of a flat tooth with the button (a) at the
back.
I do not confine myself to the tooth being strictly flat, it may be somewhat concave
or convex.
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) What I claim as new and my invention is in making a flat tooth with a button
or undercut projection placed or formed at the back of a flat tooth of the same or
similar material.
(2) This mode of fastening flat teeth to dental rubber is instead of any other
previous mode.
(3) They are more secure in dental rubber than any other teeth.

1 THEODORE KUNZ of Schiltigheim in the Province of Alsace, 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 relates to that class of stoppers for bottles, jars and the like in
which a block of metal, wood, china or glassware with a rubber or like pad on or
around the underside is held down upon or in the mouth of the bottle or jar by
means of a wire bow passing over the stopper and pivoted or affixed directly or
indirectly to the neck of the bottle.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the improvements. Fig. 1 being a front
elevation partly in section showing the stopper closed. Fig. 2 a side elevation
showing the stopper open. Fig. 3 a plan with stopper closed.
a is the stopper, & the pad and c the wire bow, the ends of the latter are bent
inwards towards each other for a certain distance to engage in the slots d made in
the neck of the bottle. Each slot d is shaped as a quadrant of a circle the lower end
terminating in the horizontal plane. The two slots are set symmetrically that is
to say so that each point or part of the slot is diametrically opposite to the same
point or part of the opposite slot.
After the stopper is put over the mouth of the bottle it is fastened down by a
downward thrust and small lateral twist.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The combination with a vessel of a stopper adapted to close the mouth of said
vessel, a bow c connected to said stopper and two quadrant shaped slots d in the neck
of said vessel said slots being symmetrically disposed and diametrically opposite to
each other substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

[, WILHELM HÖLTRING Manufacturer, of Barmen in the Kingdom of Prussia, and
German Empire, 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 trouser braces or suspenders and it consists of an improved
form of brace which is attached to the trousers by four buttons only, two on each
side.
The construction is illustrated by the accompanying drawings on which figure 1
shews the braces spread out, figure 2 shews the carrying or suspending band alone,
figure 3 shews a modified form wherein two suspending bands are employed and
figuro 4 shews the method of wearing the braces.
The two tags A are for buttoning to the front of the trousers one on each side and
they are fastened to eyes made in hooks B, hanging on loops or rings C which them-
selves hang and slide on the carrying band K, each end of which has a buckle or clip
and is capable of being shortened or lengthened as usual.
The hooks B are spring books so that they can be easily attached and detached
from the rings C. Beside the tags A connecting straps D are fastened to the eyes of
the hooks B, these straps carrying at their other ends rings E, to which short tags F
for suspending the back of the trousers are secured. The rings E are also joined by
connecting straps G to a ring or loop H, which hangs and slides on the middle part
of the carrying band or suspender K, when the latter is made in one piece as at
figures 1, 2 and 4, but when in two pieces as at figure 3 the ring H hangs in the
leather piece J, connecting the two parts of the band K together and does not
slide.
The connecting straps D and G may each be made of a single piece, but preferably
of two pieces joined together by a buckle as represented in Figure 1, so that their
lengths may be altered.
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 trouser brace or suspender having four suspending tags (two on each side), back
tags F, by means of connecting pieces D and G, being joined both to the front ends
and middle part of the carrying band K, substantially as described with reference to
the drawings annexed.

1, NICHOLAS BELFIELD DENNYS, Ph. D. Magistrate in Perak, Malay Native States
Malay Peninsula do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
It consists of a disk of soft metal, preferably of copper, with a centre hole to fit the
size of bolt to which it is to be applied-such as t,inch &c. The circumference
of the disk extends from th to th of an inch, wholly or partially as may be
desirable, beyond the corners of the applied nut. On one surface of the "washer "
thus formed a stnd is rivetted, or a projection punched, which enters a hole or
depression of similar size on the surface to which the nut is to be screwed down.
When the disk is in place and the nut screwed home it is either cut or turned
up so that the portion of the circumference so treated prevents the nut from
turning.

I NICHOLAS BELFIELD DENNYS of 4 Fenchurch Avenue London E.C. of no present
occupation do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :--
It consists of an ordinary thin, soft, iron or other metal, washer, somewhat
larger in diameter than the nut to which it is to be applied, as in Figures 1, 4
or of the same diameter as the nut, with a projecting lug (D) as in Figure 2.
At any portion of the washer ring an indentation (C) is made in which a stud (E
Figure 3) can be inserted if extra security be desired. An indentation is made
with a drill or punch on the surface to which the nut is to be screwed down, and
in this indentation is placed the stud or projection of the washier. On the nut
being screwed home the washer becomes immoveable. To lock the nut any portion
of the projecting washer Figure 4, A, or the projecting lug (Figure 2) is turned
up against one of the faces as in figure 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-
The formation of an indentation in, or application of a stud to, an ordinary thin soft
metal washer, or to a washer having a projecting lug as shown in the drawing, which
indentation or stud is intended to enter an indentation made in the surface to which it
is applied, the outer edge or lug of the said washer (as the case may be) being free to
be turned up against any one face of the nut screwed down over it, so as to lock the
said nut rigidly in its place.
