WILLIAM BAZELEY Naturalist and Manufacturer of Bee Keeping Appliances
27 Sheep Street Northampton 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 :-

Improvements in Lamps.
We, FRANZ GEDIES, Locksmith, and CARL SCHÜNKE, Merchant, both of
30 Couvry Strasse Berlin, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object an adjustable lamp for working, reading and
>ther purposes; which may readily be brought into any desired convenient position
relatively to the work, book or other object.
The improved lamp is represented on the accompanying drawings ;-
In Fig. 1, in sectional elevation; in Fig. 2, in plan view; and in Fig. 3, in
detail view, representing the sliding sleeve employed for adjusting the lamp.
Figs. 4 are other detail views.

"
The framework of the lamp consists of a hollow pillar a, capable of being
"sprung' upon a standard b, which latter can be secured upon a bench or table
by a screw-clamp c, which allows of the lamp being temporarily mounted at any
place. The clamp c, almost entirely embraces the hollow pillar a, so that the lamp
cannot fall down.
On its upper end, the hollow pillar a, is formed or provided with a sleeve e,
which is mounted at a right-angle thereto, and is formed with a slot f, in which a
round or other suitably shaped bar g, (preferably of iron or other suitable metal,)
may be secured in any desired position by a thumb-screw h.
The rod g, is formed or fitted with a projecting stud k, and with a bar i. A
perforated slide bar z, carrying the lamp A, and its accessories is vertically adjust-
able against the bar i, and any of its perforations can be engaged with the stud k,
of the bar 9.
A sleeve m, formed with a suitable handle, connects and secures the slide i, and
the bar 2, after the desired adjustment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
An adjustable lamp for working, reading or other purposes, characterised by a
pillar a, removably engaging with a standard b, and capable of turning thereon,
connected with a sleeve e, wherein slides a rod g, carrying a lamp vertically
adjustable to varying levels.

An Improved Glove.
I, WILHELM FERDINAND PETER, Merchant, of 36, Tumerstrasse Chemnitz,
in the Kingdom of Saxony, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to that class of gloves, which are made partly of waterproof
or impervious and partly of porous material and which may be appropriately called
composite gloves.
The object of my improvement is, to provide gloves which protect the back of
the hand from cold and water, while allowing the desired transpiration on the inner
surface or hollow of the hand, and without unnecessarily interfering with the sense
of touch at the finger tips, or with the general appearance of the glove.
For this purpose, I make the back of a suitable waterproof or impermeable.
material, and the front of a porous fabric, as illustrated by Figs. 1 to 3, of which
Fig. 1 is a front or face view, Fig. 2 a back view, and Fig. 3 a section along
line R-R of Fig. 1.
The back or upper part a consists of the elastic material, which has long been
known in the trade under the name of "electric indiarubber fabric," or "elastic
electric material," and which consists chiefly of a textile fabric rendered impervious
by means of indiarubber, while the face or lower part 6 consists of woven or knitted
fibrous material, such as wool, cotton, and silk.
If the porous material is thin and covers also the finger tips, the sense of touch
of a hand carrying such a glove will not be much diminished.
The shape of the glove and its method of manufacture, may be as in the case of
ordinary gloves.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A composite glove consisting of a waterproof upper part or back made of
"electric" indiarubber fabric, and of a porous lower part or face made of woven
or knitted material, substantially as described and illustrated.

Improvements in Gloves, more especially adapted for Riding and
Driving Gloves.
I LOUIS Cox of New Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick, Hosier
and Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
In the accompanying drawing my improvements are shewn.
My invention relates to all kinds of gloves but is especially intended to meet the
requirements of riding and driving gloves where a firm hold of the reins is essential.
To effect the object of my invention instead of the usual side parts of the fingers
termed "forgets" I make them of india rubber or other suitable material (but
preferably of india rubber) these "forgets" or side parts A are sewn or otherwise
suitably attached to each side of the fingers of the glove as shewn and having a
roughened or corrugated surface thereon or the surface may be plain, thus a very
firm hold of the reins can be obtained and no likelyhood of their slipping through
the fingers of the rider or driver as the roughened surface of the india rubber
"forgets" effectually prevents such an occurrence, more especially in cases when the
reins become wet and consequently greasy from the weather my improved glove
will be found particularly effective.
The india rubber also protects the glove from wear in the parts most requiring
protection.
When desired the thumb of the glove may have a strip of india rubber or its
equivalent upon its inner side, the fingers also may be tipped with the same material
likewise the palm of the glove may be provided with a strip or strips of the india
rubber when required but for the purposes of riding and driving gloves which is the
main object that I have in view; the arrangement of the india rubber "forgets
above described and shewn down the sides of the fingers will answer the main
principle of my invention.
as
I do not limit myself to the precise details in the manufacture of the glove herein
set forth as the essential particulars may be varied to suit requirements.
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 aforesaid improvements in gloves by making the side pieces or "forgets" of
the fingers and also other parts of the glove if desired of india rubber or other
suitable material and having a rough surface (or not) for the purpose of obtaining
a firm hold when riding or driving or for other uses substantially as herein more
fully set forth described and illustrated.

We MAXIMILIAN THIELE, Painter and KARL KÜPFERLING, Tinman, both of
4 Ansbacherstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, 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 a toy for testing the steadiness of the hand and at
the same time affording a means for strengthening the muscles of the hand.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view illustrating the construction and.
mode of using our toy.
In carrying out our invention we employ a metal blade A in the form of a table
knife and having a handle B, and we provide a loop or staple C of suitable material
such as wire or a long hair-pin, adapted to be hung over the blade A. To make
use of our improved toy the blade A, with the loop C thereon, is held horizontally.
over a table or the like so that the pointed ends of the loop rest on the table, as
clearly shewn in the drawing. The blade is now slightly lowered so that the loop-
assumes an inclined position as indicated. The test is for the person using the toy
to keep the loop from moving, at the same time keeping the blade horizontal. This
will be found difficult as the slightest trembling of the blade causes the wire loop to
ride on the edge of the blade towards the hand. On the wire loop can be placed a
grotesque or other figure so as to increase the amusement.

Improvements in Corsets.
I, MARY NICE of 53 Abbeygate Street, Bury St. Edmunds, in the County of
Suffolk, Married Woman, 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 designed to provide a corset in which the stiffening at the waist
just above the hip is not liable to become broken in wear.
To effect this, and allow free play to the lateral movements of the body, I
construct my improved corset with an open space on each side below each arm of
the wearer.
These openings are formed at the neck or narrowest part of the corset, just above
the enlarged part which fits over the hips.
In outline these open spaces may be oval or elliptical, or arched above and straight
below, or of any other preferred suitable shape.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which one of my improved corsets is shewn.
The opening which forms the special feature of my improved corset is denoted by
the letter a. The usual stiffening is therefore shortened and brought only so far as
the margin of this opening. There is no other alteration, so that my improvement
can be applied to all kinds of corsets.
a cover to the
In certain cases, as for instance, for use by persons of extreme stoutness, it may
be desirable to attach a piece of woven or elastic material as
inside of the aperture, in order to prevent pinching the flesh. It may also be
considered desirable, when tight fitting dresses are worn over the corset without an
intermediate bodice, to attach a similar cover to the outside, in order to prevent the
dress sinking into the aperture. These covers are however optional and are not
required in ordinary use.
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 a corset, the formation of the same with a horizontal elongated orifice
preferably of oval or elliptical outline and with or without a cover or covers.
The said orifice being interposed between the upper and lower springs or stiffeners
and immediately above the hip piece of the corset, as herein described and set
forth.

I, FRANZ SCHULTE, of 46 Pferdmarkt, in the City of Hamburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Pattern 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 dowels for multipartite wooden casting
patterns and the object of the same is to replace the usual wooden pegs or dowels
which are designed to prevent a lateral movement of the single parts of multipartite
patterns towards each other by metal dowels and matrices of the configuration
shown in the annexed drawings.
In order that my invention and the means by which it is to be carried into
practical effect may be thoroughly understood I will now describe it and them in
detail referring in so doing to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken
as part of this Specification and read therewith.
Fig. 1 is a cross section taken on the line taken on the line C-D of Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a plan of my improved dowel, while
Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the matrice fitting the dowel.
The dowel consists of a circular metallic plate a provided with holes for the
passage of screws to connect the same to the required part of the pattern and with
a central but somewhat tapered pin a¹ which fits into the central hole in a circular
metallic matrice 6 of the same size as the plate a of the dowel and being provided
also with screw holes to enable the same to be rigidly fastened to the other corre-
sponding part of the pattern. The plate a and the matrice 6 are made circular for
the purpose of being enclosed in suitable holes made in the wood drilled by a centre
bit, in order to secure an exact centering of the dowel and its matrice. The under
side of the plates a and b are made concave for better fitting the holes produced by
the centre bit.
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. A metallic dowel and matrice for multipartite casting-patterns, the former
consisting of a circular base plate a provided with a centrally arranged pin a', the
latter consisting of a circular disc b having a central hole into which fits the pin a
of the dowel, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in or connected with Machines for Making Lace, Net,
Tulle, and the like.
I, ETIENNE VIAL, of Contour St. Martin, Roubaix, in the Republic of France,
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 object of my.invention is to permit the immediate use of the bobbins of
spinning or twisting frames upon the machines employed in the manufacture of
gauze, net, tulle, lace and similar fabrics, by the adaptation of a certain device
which I shall describe hereinafter.
Up to the present day the thread coming from the twisting or spinning machine
was compelled, in order to be utilized in the bobbinet lace frame or machine, to
pass through the following operations which I do away with by my invention.
1. Unwinding from the bobbins and placing in skeins. 2. The replacing of the
thread in the skeins so obtained upon special bobbins adapted to the different kinds
of machines for making lace, net, tulle and the like. One of these special bobbing
is shown in Figure 1.
These two operations present several drawbacks, knots, as well as considerable
waste and irregularity occur in the rewinding.
It follows therefore that considerable saving results from the suppression of these
two operations and of the special bobbins shown in Figure 1.
The suppression of the special bobbins also does away with the case of the latter
which is generally made of wood, glued, and liable to deteriorate.
This frequent deterioration of the bobbins leads to a stoppage in the winding of
the thread and consequently to considerable waste of material.
By my invention I utilise the bobbin upon which the thread is wound in the
spinning or twisting frame and consequently I insure the regularity of the winding.
The bobbin is placed upon the spindle E and to prevent all instability of the bobbin
so placed upon the spindle E, I apply to the end of the said spindle a head weight
bored to an interior diameter slightly greater than that of the spindle, and formed
of two superimposed cylinders, one of which B is introduced into the bobbin tube D
and constitutes a brake whilst the other C constitutes a stop or heel for the bobbiu.
The pressure produced by this head weight insures a regular winding and tension of
the thread.
In use the thread coming from my bobbins is carried from one pillow or warp
thread to another pillow or warp thread, say from two to four warp threads of its
starting point, so fulfilling the functions of a weft.
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 employment of a head weight substantially as set forth.
2. A bobbin having a head weight substantially as set forth with reference to
Figure 2.

Improvements in Electric Connectors for Current Converters.
I, GEORGE DEXTER BURTON, a citizen of the United States of America,
residing at 194 Washington Street, Boston, in the County of Suffolk and State of
Massachusetts, United States of America, Électrician, 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 the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to secure adjustability of the connectors on the
electric converter, whereby the conductors leading therefrom may be shifted in
position as desired to accommodate the work.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a plan of a portion of a current converter, an electric forge,
and flexible cables connecting the rings of the converter with the forge, the inner
end of the cable being connected with the rings of the converter by these improved
connectors.
Figure 2 represents a vertical section through one of the converter rings and its
connector.
Similar numerals of reference represent corresponding parts in both figures.
The positive ring 10 and the negative ring 11 of an electric converter are
provided with grooves 12 and 13 on their upper and lower faces.
Each of the connectors comprises two clamping plates 20 and 21 provided with
bulges forming together a socket or binding post 22 receiving one end of one of the
conductors, said plates being bolted together.
These plates are provided at their inner ends with flanges 23 and 24 which extend
above and below the upper and lower edges of the converter ring. Hooks 25 and 26
extend from the outer ends of the flanges and eugage the grooves of the converter
ring. A set screw 27 serves to tightly clamp the connector against the ring.
In the use of this adjustable connector, by loosening the set screws the connectors
may be adjusted at any point on the converter rings and placed at greater or less
distances apart.
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 combination of two rigid converter rings constituting opposite electric
poles, two movable conductors mounted on said rings and adjustable thereon,
conductors leading from said connectors, and metal-holders connected with said
conductors.
2. The combination with two converter rings of connectors adjustable on said
rings, and provided with binding posts or sockets for receiving the conductors.
3. The combination with a converter ring of a connector consisting of a clamp
provided with grooves on its upper and lower faces, of a connector consisting of

Combination Drain Plug.
CHARLES EDWARD PRICE 139 Albert Street Regent's Park N.W. Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention which can be made in any metal, preferably in brass or iron, is a
pipe or drain plug, that has various sized plugs, combined in the space, that the
largest of the various sizes, would take up. This is arranged and carried out by
a number of additional metal rings, or plates, & rubbers; each so arranged that
the extending plates may be fixed without disarranging those already fixed, thus
increasing the size to any dimension. The extending rings or plates may be fixed
with only the outer ring or otherwise as required.
The thumb screw of my invention has a joint, so that greater power is obtained
as required.
The washer between the thumb screw & the plate is fitted with 4 small wheels,
which reduces the friction & gives greater ease in screwing.
It also has a wire balloon basket, which prevents the soil & paper stopping up
the vent hole when in use.
Dated this 15th day of August 1892.

following statement :―
The plug (or drain tester) which can be made in any metal, preferably of brass
or iron is composed of a number of separate rings; so arranged that each fit to
the other, & when together, form a circular plate, of any given size.
Two of these plates are then taken, & a rubber ring placed between them;
when the plates are drawn together, by means of a spindle & thumbscrew, which
expand the ring; & so form a plug, or stopper, to the pipe or drain, in which it
may have been placed; & which it is intended to stop up.
The rings can either be made continuous (as Fig. 1 in drawing) or in two halves
(as shown by Fig. 2 in drawing). Fig. 3 shows the section of the tester, cut
through the centre & showing the two plates, composed of a number of rings as
described.

ALEXANDER DAVISON Optician 47 London Strect Glasgow do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvement, consisting of a saddle of cork rubber or other substance to be
attached to bridge of spectacles of every form or shape, an improvement much
needed as the metal bridge as used in spectacles cause much physical pain &
suffering from their weight & liability to break the skin, a matter to be dreaded as
such cases have been known to end fatally. The cork, rubber, or other substance
will give a relief, comfort, & feeling of lightness most pleasant & cannot be obtained.
by any form of metal bridge at present in use.

Improvements relating to the Strengthening of Pipes and Tubular
Vessels.
I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of the firm of Herbert & Co., Patent Agents, of
18 Buckingham Street, Strand, W.C., London, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention a communication to me from abroad by Carl Kortum,
of Berlin, Germany, Engineer, 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 pipes and tubular vessels and it consists in certain
improvements for the purpose of increasing their strength or resistance against
internal pressure.
For the purpose of increasing the strength of metallic pipes, or their resistance
against internal pressure, I provide them with inflections or depressions. These
inflections may be made deep enough to shape the pipe into separate compartments
or to close the end of the pipe.
For increasing the strength still more the inflections or also the whole length of
the pipes may be wrapped or woven over with wire.
Figure 1 represents in a central longitudinal section a pipe with inflections b
and e and contractions a and d by which a part of the pipe is separated from the
other or closed off without welding, soldering or inserting a plug. The inflection c
is wrapped with wire the straight part e of the pipe is covered over with woven
wire.
Figure 2 shows a pipe which at 9 is entirely wrapped and at h entirely woven
over with wire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. The method of strengthening pipes consisting in winding or weaving wire at
intervals or continuously thereon.
2. The method of strengthening pipes consisting in producing inflections or
depressions at intervals as described and illustrated.
3. The method of strengthening pipes consisting in producing inflections therein
and winding same with wire substantially as set forth and illustrated.

Improvements in Darning Utensils.
I, ANNA HERBING, Gentlewoman, of 4 Lottum Strasse, Berlin, Germany, 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 present invention relates to darning utensils and consists of a rounded head-
piece having a handle, the whole being made either in one or two parts and of any
suitable material.
Hitherto in darning stockings or other articles, it has been customary to hold
the same in the left hand and darn with the right, this practice is, however, very
tiring for the left hand, especially in the case of large holes when the hand must.
often be brought into very inconvenient positions in order to keep the stocking
stretched.
By means of my invention all this inconvenience is avoided by simply stretching
the stocking over the rounded head-piece of the instrument forming the object of
this invention, holding the said stocking tight round the handle and darning in the
usual manner with the right hand.
In order to make my invention more easily intelligible I refer to the accom-
panying drawings, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the
several views.
Figure 1 shows a vertical section through the instrument and Figure 2 illustrates.
the manner of manipulating the same.
a is a circular head-piece having its upper surface rounded off and being provided
with a handle b, which is advantageously screwed into the under surface. The
handle may be made hollow (c) so as to hold the darning needles.
In order to use the instrument the same is inserted into the stocking and the
part of the latter containing the hole stretched over the rounded upper surface and
held round the handle by the left hand as clearly shown in Figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1) A darning utensil having a rounded head-piece a and a handle b substantially
as described.
(2) A darning utensil having a rounded bead-piece a and a hollow handle.
screwed into the same substantially as described.
(3) A darning utensil having a head-piece rounded off at its upper surface and
a handle on its under surface, said utensil being made in one piece and of any
suitable material substantially as described.
Dated this 4th day of November 1892.
