New and Improved Window-blind Fastener.
I, ERNEST RICHARD ROYSTON, of the firm of Cheesbrough and Royston of 15, Water
Street, Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, Patent Agents, 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 the invention is to provide a simple, cheaply made and easily applied
fastener for securing a window-blind to its roller; and it consists, essentially, of a
spring metal clasp bent to conform to and spring onto a window-roller, the said clasp
having legs with spike shaped toes designed to clasp and pierce the roller in such a
manner as to firmly grasp and hold the blind in position.
Figure 1 is a view, showing the blind-fastener in position on the roller.
Figure 2 is a detail of the fastener.
It will be observed on reference to the drawing, that the fastener is formed out of
a piece of spring wire, the said wire being folded in the centre, and the folded portion
bent, as indicated, to form a spring clasp A which fits over and clasps the roller B,
as indicated. The ends of the wire extend at right angles from the fold, forming
legs, with spike shaped toes D, as shown, which spike shaped toes may be readily
pressed into the wooden roller B.
The improved fastener according to this invention is applied in the following
manner-The end of the blind E is placed on the roller B and as many fasteners
as may be required are clasped over the blind onto the roller, and the spike-shaped
toes D, are pressed through the blind into the roller so as to securely fasten the blind
to the said roller.
One of the chief advantages of the improved fastener according to this invention
lies in the fact that it may be easily slipped off and placed in position should it be
necessary to straighten or adjust the blind upon the roller.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The combination with a window-blind and roller, of a spring metal clasp bent to
conform to and spring onto the window roller, the said clasp having legs with spike
shaped toes; substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
2. An improved window blind fastener constructed, substantially as herein shown
and described.

Improved Slat for Roller Shutters, Partitions, Garden Chairs, and
the like.
I, WALLACE FAIRWEATHER, C.D., of 62 Saint Vincent Street, in the City of
Glasgow, Registered Patent Agent and Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, as communicated to me, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
The improved slat for rolling window shutters constituting this invention and which
is also applicable for partition curtains, coverings for hot house roofs, seats for garden
chairs and the like has the advantage over similar devices heretofore in use that it
admits of heing made up in the form of a flexible chain-like web and is self-fixing
instead of being held together by canvas, hinges or like contrivances, the slats being
fitted endwise one into another and being interchangeable.
In the accompanying drawings figure 1 shows in cross section one of the slats which
is formed with a barrel head a along the upper edge and an open channel along the
lower edge the said channel being adapted to receive and securely hold the barrel
head of a similarly formed slat thrust en dwise into it whilst the requisite movement
in the channel b is provided for by making one of the pincer-like gripping edges at
the mouth of the channel shorter or more open than the other.
Figure 2 shows in cross section a series of seven such slats fitted together in the
form of an arc of a circle and figure 3 shows an elevation of part of a rolling
shutter formed by the slats.
The arrangement described presents not only great simplicity in manufacture but
also permits of rapid and easy fitting together and ready replacement of damaged
parts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion as communicated to me I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
A slat for rolling shutters and similar use formed with a barrel head a along
one edge and an open channel along the other edge the said channel being
adapted to hold and permit of movement within it of the head of a like slut fitted
in it substantially as described.

of London, Cork Manufacturers, 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 stopporing bottles by means of a screw stopper the lower
end of which bears against a seating of cork fitted in a recess in the neck of the bottle
whereby a perfect joint is obtained.
In order to enable our invention to be fully understood we will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure I is a sectional elevation of the neck of a bottle stoppered according to our
invention.
Figure 2 is a vortical section of the bottle neck, and,
Figure 3 is an elevation of the screw stopper we employ.
Similar letters in all the figures are used to represent similar parts.
a represents the neck of a bottle the interior of the mouth of which is formed with
a screw thread b; below the screw thread b we form an annular recess or groove c in
the bottle neck in which recess or groove we place a ring of cork d which may
advantageously be compressed; e is a screw stopper made of any suitable nuaterial and
adapted to screw into the mouth of the bottle, the lower end of the stopper being
reduced at so that it will pass through the cork ring d, the shoulder 9 on the stopper
coming against the upper surface h of the projecting part of the ring d so as to form
a joint when the stopper e is screwed down.
By this arrangement if a stopper such as that shown at e, Figure 3, be screwed into
the mouth of a bottle such as that shewn at Figure 2, the reduced end of the stopper
will, as the stopper is screwed in pass through the ring d until the shoulder g of the
stopper comes against the surface h of the ring d between which shoulder and surface
a tight joint is made.]

Improvements in Planing, Turning, and Boring Tools, and Holders
therefor.
I, JOHANN MARTIGNONI of Frankfort-on-the-Main, in the German Empire,
Mechanician, 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 machine tool of this invention has the form of a circular disc with one or
more recesses or breaks in its periphery at which the cutting edge or edges is or are
formed. These cutting discs and the holders therefor differ in construction according
to the nature of the work-boring or turning, etcetera-to be done.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a steel cutting disc divided into sections b
located at different obliquities relatively to the longitudinal axis of the holder in such
manner that the cutting edges e may be used for different forms of cut without
displacing the tool holder. The disc is in one piece. Fig. 2. shews a cutting disc g
arranged in a holder d for use as a boring tool. The disc is formed with a taper
collar by which it is held in recess of part d by means of the correspondingly
formed head of bolt e fixed by nut k. The holder is suitable for holding in the slide
rest of a lathe or boring machine, the cutting disc being directed to the work
like an ordinary boring tool.
Fig. 3 shews a cutting disc formed with a central boss m by which it is carried
in a spring or grip bearing n at one end of the holder o, the jaws p of which
bearing, may be at any suitable angle x to the longitudinal axis of the holder. By
this arrangement the cutting disc may be adjusted and removed with a minimum of
manipulation.
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 cutting disc formed with sections or divisions set obliquely to its
longitudinal axis, the obliquity of each section or division corresponding to the
angle and purpose of its respective cutting edge c, whereby a displacement of the holder
is unnecessary when a change of cut is to be made substantially as described with
reference to Fig. 1 of the drawing.
2. A cutting disc holder d bored through horizontally in the front recessed
surface of which, the cutting disc g is fixed by its taper collar and screw bolt
and nut, so as to render said disc available as a boring tool; substantially as
described with reference to Fig. 2.
3. A cutting disc carried by a central boss m in a spring or grip bearing n
at one end of holder o, the jaws p of which bearing may be at any suitable angle a
with the longitudinal axis of the holder so as to allow of cutting disc / being readily
adjusted, fixed, and removed, substantially as described with reference to Fig. 3.

page_text: An improved Flower Fot.
I, MAURICE EDWARD WEISER Doctor of Medicine of the City of Wien, Austria,
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 flower pot and has for its object to facilitate
transplanting. At present flower-pots are generally made conical, and by this means
the entire ball of soil together with the plant may be got out, but it is obvious
that such construction of the pot is irrational, because there is least space for soil
there where it is most needed, namely round the roots, inasmuch as flower pots are
generally made much wider at the top than at the bottom.
The manner in which I carry my invention into effect is shewn in the drawings
herewith, Fig. 1 being a general view and Fig. 2 a ground plan.
According to my invention I make the flower pot in two halves, one of which is
provided with a groove g in which the other half fits, the joint being most con-
veniently arranged as shewn in Fig. 2, h shewing the shape of the corresponding
part of the other half of the pot.
For the purpose of transplanting, the two halves are separated, when the earth
ball can be readily removed.
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 flower pot that can be separated in two parts substantially in the manner as and
for the purposes described and as shewn in the drawings.
other Sanitary Ware.

page_text: other Sanitary Ware.
I, WILLIAM ASSITER, of 207 Brixton Road, London S.W. Sanitary 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 consists primarily of forming double sockets on stoneware pipes,
traps, gullies & other sanitary ware, as shewn at Fig. 1. In laying the pipes etc., the
spigot end A, of one is placed in the inner socket B. of the adjacent one and the joint
afterwards completed by filling the outer socket C. with cement, the usual 'bedding'
in cement which is necessary with the ordinary form of socket-being omitted,
thereby doing away with the risk of any cement being forced into the interior of the
pipe & forming an obstruction. The outer socket C.-intended for the reception of
the cement-is dovetailed or splayed, being smaller at the outer end than at the
inner; it is well-known that cement expands in setting, and, this form of socket will
ensure a more perfect joint than a parallel-sided one, the cement swelling and tightly
filling the cavity; although these sockets may also be made with parallel sides.
Another form of my invention is shewn at Fig. 2. and consists of a similar joint
to that above described with the addition of a ring or band A, formed of india-
rubber or other material, which is placed on the spigot end of the pipe; this band is
tapered in section and corresponds to the inner socket B. which it is intended to fit ;
as each pipe is laid, the spigot end is pushed firmly home into the socket of the one
previously laid, the soft ring ensuring a watertight connection between the two pipes,
and the joint may or may not be finished off with cement or other material. This
second form is intended for use where it is necessary to lay pipes in frosty weather,
when cement joints would be useless, or for first-class work where a sound connection
& high efficiency is desired.
One great feature of the invention is that the pipes may be cut to any length
without destroying the efficiency of the joint; in the second form the band A, is made
to clasp the pipe tightly, the roughness of the latter ensuring a firm grip, so that it
may be placed at any point should it be necessary to cut the pipe.

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. It is impossible for any cement to be left in the interior of the pipe.
2. Less labour is entailed in laying pipes, etc., with these joints as no clearing out
of the interior is necessary after the joint is made, as is the case where ordinary pipes
are used.
3. The pipes may be cut to any length as may be required without destroying or
reducing the efficiency of the joint.
4. By the second form of the Invention pipes may be laid in any weather or in
any soil, the flexible ring ensuring a watertight joint even should the pipes sink after
having been laid.

Improvements in Cigars and Pipes and in Mouth Ends or Mouth
Pieces therefor.
I LEOPOLD MORRIS of 5 Great Marlborough Street, in the County of Middlesex,
Tobacco 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 a simple and effective mouth end or mouthpiece for cigars
of all kinds, and has for its object to prevent the unpleasantness arising from the
contact of the lips with the tobacco of the cigar, and moistening the same with
saliva, which destroys the cigar and causes it to tear away and enter the mouth, and
thereby considerably interferes with the enjoyment which would otherwise be
experienced. The improved mouth end or mouth piece will also be found advantageous
when applied to the extremity of the stems of clay and other like pipes for preventing
them from sticking to the lips of the smoker.
According to my invention I lap around the extremity of a cigar or stem of a
pipe, a strip or band of thin sheet cork, the said strip or band being secured in any
suitable manner.. By this means the lips of the smoker come in contact with the
cork only thereby affording a cool soft and pleasant mouthpiece.
In carrying out my invention I form the strips or bands by cutting them of suitable
thickness from sheets or blocks of cork and lap the strips or bands so formed around
the extremity of the cigar or stem of the pipe, the said strips or bands being of
such slight substance (about the thickness of paper only) that they readily conform
to the contour of the end of the cigar or of the stem of the pipe when placed
around the same to which they may be secured by any suitable adhesive substance.
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 1
claim is :-
1. A mouth end or mouth piece for cigars, consisting of a strip or band of cork
lapped around the extremity thereof, and secured by any suitable adhesive substance
anhotantially as specified

page_text: 2. A cigar having a mouth end or mouth piece formed by lapping around the
extremity thereof a strip or band of cork secured by any suitable adhesive substance
substantially as specified.
3. For clay or other like pipes a mouth end or mouth piece consisting of a strip
or band of cork lapped around the extremity of the stem thereof and secured by any
suitable adhesive substance substantially as specified.
4. A clay or other like pipe having a mouth end or mouth piece formed by lapping
around the extremity of the stem thereof a strip or band of cork secured by any
suitable adhesive substance substantially as specified.

Improved Supports of Secondary Batteries.
GEORG EDUARD HEYL 8, Salzufer Charlottenburg near Berlin 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:—
In all existing systems of secondary batteries or accumulators in which the
active material is rubbed or pressed into a rigid framework, always loss of capacity
and disturbances arise during working by the falling-off of material. These defects
are explained by the unequal expansion of the material and of its support. By
the bulging-out of the filling material its exterior crusts separate from the interior
mass, as the embracing treillis cannot yield to the pressure issuing from the
interior. The present constructions of the support tend to obviate the said defects.
Type A represents an electrode possessing as support for the active material a
treillis-work or skeleton of lead or inactive alloi. The fields may be surrounded,
as the figure shows, hy narrow openings parallel to their edges, or the ribs between
the separate fields are not massive as in other constructions but divided or split in
the middle, so that intervals (d, c, d) are formed permitting the expansion of each
of the fields. The same property is possessed by type B the support of which con-ists
of a plate furnished with a solid or perforated central wall and parallel ribs likewise
divided or split.
Type A can be cast or cut out (of lead plates). For the fabrication, the latter way
is more advantageous, as waste inevitable in casting cannot occur.
Type B can be cast or draw-pressed.
After rubbing or pressing the material into the fields the ribs are pressed on tightly
to it so as to embrace the mass-cakes firmly.
The object of all the constructions enumerated is to permit the expansion of the
different single mass-fields without disadvantage, and also to prevent the falling-out of
mass of the fields.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sid
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The construction of supports of the active material for accumulators consisting
(1) Of a treilis-work possessing parallel with the field-edges narrow openings
(Fig. A) permitting the expansion of the active material.
(2) Of a treillis-work the ribs of which are not solid but divided or split.
(3) Of a plate furnished with a solid or perforated middle-wall and parallel and
divided or split ribs (Type B).

Improvements in Veneer Saws.
I, DIETRICH PHILIPP AUGUST MERSING, of Galatz, in the Principality of Roumania,
Director of a Limited Company, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to enable vertical veneer saws to act in bothi
directions upward and downward.
This object is attained by the following novel arrangement of the teeth of the saws.
Referring to the drawing Figure 1 is a side view. Figure 2 a section through 1. 2.
and Figure 3 a cross section through 3. 4.
The teeth have the M shape. Their surfaces a band a b', as well as a c and a c
are inclined at a sharp angle to the one and in a corresponding counter-angle to the
other surface of the saw-blade. The angles of inclination of a care as far as
possible equal to a' c so that the lines d e and fg are as much as possible parallel as
in section 1-2.
The set of the points a and a¹ of one and the same tooth is however slightly
different, and the direction of the set of the point a is in opposition to the direction
of the set of point al, as seen in section 3-4.
Therefore the surfaces d fand ey of the points of the teeth are inclined as shown
in the section 1-2 under a very pointed angle to the surface of the saw-blade.
The angles shown in the drawing are not necessarily those to be taken, as the
sharpening and the setting of the teeth depend also upon the kind of wood to be cut
as well as its moisture.
Saw-blades thus toothed may be used in connection with gearing applicable to an
endless band or vertical saw.
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 veneer saws, the teeth of which are M shaped, the surfaces ab and a¹ b¹ as well
as a c and a' c which form a sharp angle to one of the surfaces of the saw-blade and
the points a and a set in opposite directions, substantially as illustrated and described
for the purposes set forth.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Pile Fabrics.
1, HERBERT ROUSE, of the firm of William Rouse & Co., North Brook Mills,
Bradford, in the County of York, Spinners and Manufacturers, 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 certain improvements in the manufacture of pile fabrics
whereby a useful and effective piece is produced at less cost in time and labour
between the weaving of the piece and the finishing of the same.
Hitherto pile fabrics have been produced either by a warp varying in quality
or material from that of the weft, or before the piece has been woven, the warp
has been sent to the dyer, who has given it such a preparatory colour as he thinks
will best suit the colour and shade the piece is ultimately to be dyed to match.
In my improvement the warp and weft are of one and the same quality and
material and dyed to the colour of the piece before being woven in the loom, and
when so woven, it is only necessary to finish the piece, thus the process of dyeing
after the piece is woven, is dispensed with altogether; by this means time and
labour are saved between the weaving and the finishing of the piece, as compared
with the means hitherto used in the manufacture of pile fabrics.
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 production of a pile fabric wherein the warp and weft are of the same
material and dyed to the colour of the piece before weaving substantially in the
manner herein set forth.

page_text: We, RICHARD MÜLLER, Gardener and ADOLF MAASS, Mechanic, both of Bellealliance-
platz No. 6 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide automatic delivery boxes of any and
every description with a cooling apparatus by means of which articles subject to
damage through warmth or change of temperature such as flowers etc. may be
preserved and delivered to the public in a fresh condition.
This is accomplished by means of our invention by the use of a minimum quantity
of ice as the cooling apparatus is designed in such a manner that the influence thereon
of the temperature of the outer atmosphere is reduced to the smallest degree.
The cooling apparatus is shown in the accompanying drawing in Fig. I a horizontal
section. Fig. 2 a cross section on line CD and Fig. 3 a cross section on line A B,
e the ice container corresponding to the general dimensions of the delivery box, may
be designed in any suitable manner. The wall of the said cooling box consists of a
perforated plate a of sheet metal (section A B) in contact with a glass plate b so as to
be watertight to prevent the water caused by the melting of the ice froin spoiling the
contents of the delivery box against which it is applied.
In the accompanying drawing d is a small door to facilitate the cleansing of the
apparatus and e is a cock for letting off the water.
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 cooling apparatus for automatic delivery boxes of any description to preserve in
a saleable condition such articles as would be spoiled by warmth or change of tem-
perature consisting of the parts, a b c d and e substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Method of Working Fans, Blowers, Exhausters, or the
like.
I WILLIAM SAYER of 144 Uttoxeter 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:- -
The object of my invention is to work centrifugal fans blowers or exhausters
for air or gases in conjunction with each other so as to increase the effective
pressure of the delivery or exhaust without unnecessarily overspeeding the
apparatus.
In carrying out my invention I so combine centrifugal fans blowers or
exhausters that one shall deliver the blast or exhaust to the next and I so obtain
the necessary pressure or exhaust by multiplying the number of fans blowers or
exhausters without increasing the speed beyond a safe limit. By this means a
very considerable pressure or degree of exhaust may be obtained with a mini-
mum risk of breakage from centrifugal action.
By this method of compounding fans blowers or exhausters I seek to save
the power lost by extra friction consequent on excessive peripheral speed of the
fans blowers or exhausters.
With reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings and to the figures and
letters of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a plan of two fans blowers or exhausters arranged tandemwise
and though shewn in the drawing of the same diameters may be unequal to each
other if desired.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through one of the fans blowers or exhausters
as before referred to.
Figure 3 is a plan of three fans blowers or exhausters or any suitable con-
struction arranged side by side.
I do not bind myself to use any special construction of fan blower or exhauster
the views shewn being merely examples of carrying out my invention.
Referring to the above figures indicates the inlet B the ports the air or
gas taking the direction shewn by the arrows (' is the outlet.
In using my system or method of compounding fans blowers or exhausters I
may drive some or any at different speeds to the others accordingly as circum-
stances require whether for pressure or exhaust.
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
whai T claim is:-
The improved method of working fans blowers exhausters or the like consist-
ing in combining (for forcing or exhausting air or gases) one fan or blower
with another or others so that the blast or pressure shall be delivered from one
fan or blower to the other or others or for exhausting purposes from one fan or
exhauster to another or others subtantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Lubricating Compound.
I, JOHN ANNAB, of St. Margarets-Hope, Orkney, Scotland, 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 :-
The improved lubricating compound according to my Invention is specially devised
as an efficient lubricant for heavy bearings, such for instance those which occur in
marine engines, propeller shaft bearings and so forth.
To produce a lubricant specially adapted for the above uses or applications I proceed
as follows:-I take any suitable oil or oleaginous substance or material and produce
an intimate admixture of the latter with water, using as the vehicle or medium for
effecting said intimate admixture any suitable saponaceous body, say for instance, and
by preference, soft soap.
The relative proportions of the several ingredients would vary according to the
particular requirements of the bearings to be lubricated, such for instance as their
size, and the speed at which the shaft is working the following however I find to be
suitable proportions adapted to average cases that is to say-to one gallon of water,
half gallon of oil, and a quarter of a pound of soft soap or any suitable saponaceous
substance or material which will reduce the viscosity of the oil and ensure the
intimate admixture of the latter as aforesaid with the water.
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 improved lubricating compound consisting of the ingredients and in or about
the proportions thereof named as herein set forth.

An Improved Cushion Holder for the Comfort of Invalids.
I HELEN GROVE, Spinster, of St. John's, Warwick Road, Redhill in the County
of Surrey, no occupation, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:—
An improved cushion holder, for the comfort of invalids, the frames of which aro
made of either steel or brass wire. They are self adjusting to the back of any
upholstered or solid backed chair, higher or lower according to the height of the
person using them, some are upholstered and some are of the metal alone. The
spring wire frame clasps at the bottom to the back of chair. The clasp is easily
opened sufficiently to pass over the back of any solid backed chair of ordinary thick-
ness without the inverted angle at base, at back of frame. For very thickly padded
chairs there is a slight difference in the bow which is larger & the inverted angle at
base is required at the back of the frames and they require to be put on the smallest
part of the chair-back, sideways to avoid over straining the spring, and then the
bow A is passed over top of chair back.
The cushion or pillow is placed in the arms of holder at B. B.
The front of frame is straight to nearly the top as shewn at C. The back is bowed
rather hoop shaped and the base nearly touches the base of front (when off the chair)
but is narrower at base. The frame is easily raised or put lower by slightly opening
the clasp at bottom.
When clasped it remains where it is put so as to rest the head or back of the
person using it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
That I am the inventor of an improved, spring, self adjusting cushion holder or
head & back rest for the comfort of invalids & others and that no similar apparatus
has been invented or patented before.

An Improved Toy.
I, CHARLES DUNDAS MAYER, of Bank Side, Hornsey Rise, in the County of
Middlesex, Gentleman, 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 toy in which the figure of a man pushes a
wheelbarrow in front of him or rides on a velocipede along a tight rope, his feet
moving as in the act of walking &c.
In order that my invention may be well understood and carried into practice I will
now describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which similar
letters are used to indicate corresponding parts.
Figure is an elevation of my invention as applied to a wheel barrow; Figure 2
is a vertical section and Figure 3 is an under plan of the same; Figure 4 is a front
view of the balancing device adopted.
The legs A of the figure are pivoted at B to a horizontal bar-C running transversely
across the body of the figure and inside thereof, (see figure 3). The upper parts D
of the legs are secured to the ends of connecting rods E whose other ends are
connected to cranks F on the axle of the front wheel G. The rim of this wheel is
grooved so that it may run on a wire or rope H. The legs J J of the barrow are
connected by means of a spindle on which runs loosely a cylindrical roller K trans-
versely grooved around its centre at L so that it also may run on a wire or rope H.
By these means the whole toy is supported on the rope the feet of the figure being
one on either sido as will be seen by referring to the under plan shewn in Figure 3.
M represents a balancing device which may be made of any suitable shape or design.
Preferably I use a couple of flags weighted with lead or the like connected together
by a cross rod N with loops, hooks, or the like O by means of which the balancing
device may be hung upon or attached to the front of the barrow, a depression being
made in each front to receive the hooks or loops O if desired.
When the toy is placed upon a wire or rope inclined to the horizon it will run
down the incline and its legs will move forward and backward as in the act of walking
or running.
To adapt the invention for a velocipede riding figure, the balancing device will
require to be placed near the hind or smaller wheel, and both wheels will of course
be grooved.
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 construction of an improved toy consisting of the figure of a man with pivoted
legs actuated by cranks on the axle of the wheel of a barrow or velocipede, the said
toy being supported on a rope or wire by a grooved wheel or wheels and roller, and
balanced by a weighted device M all constructed and operating substantially in the
manner and for the purpose herein before set forth and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
