COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spittoon for the use of Invalids and others.
I, THOMAS GRIFFITHS, of 258, Kingsland Road, Middlesex, Surgeons
Instrument Maker, 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 :-
Hitherto, hand spittoons intended principally for the use of invalids, have been
made of such heavy material as china, earthenware and the like, and have been
fitted with loosely fitting lids. Such spittoons are not suitable for the use of
invalids, on account of their weight unduly fatiguing the invalid and of their
loosely fitting lids being liable to fall and uncover the spittoon rendering the:
contents liable to be spilled.
The object of this invention is to produce a spittoon more suitable for the use
of invalids, the improved spittoon possessing the advantages, inter alia, of being
materially lighter in weight and less fatiguing to an invalid who may have
occasion for its frequent use and of having an efficiently secure but easily
removable and replacable cover not liable to fall and uncover the spittoon and
efficiently protecting the contents from being spilled.
To this end, the invention consists in making the spittoon and its cover of a
suitable non-corrodible material of low specific gravity such as aluminium, any
suitable compounds thereof, papier-müche or celluloid, by spinning, moulding or
otherwise forming the same, according to the material used, of any suitable
shape.
The accompanying drawing illustrates, partly in elevation and partly in
sectional elevation, such a spittoon of a form possessing several advantages as
regards its handiness and facility of cleansing, but I do not restrict myself to the
manufacture of the spittoon of such a form, as it may advantageously be made of
a cup-like form or of any analogous or equally suitable form.
The body part 1 may be made entire, or in parts soldered, cemented or
otherwise suitably connected together, according to the material used.
Its open top is made with a turned or moulded rim 2 to render it sufficiently
rigid and suitable for connection with a cover 3, intended to be sprung thereonto,.
the cover also being made of any such materials, of a dished formation, with a
central opening 4 delivering into the body of the spittoon, and with a flanged
periphery 5, adapted to be sprung ento so as to engage with the turned or moulded.
rim of the spittoon.
Such a spittoon is not liable to become corroded internally or tarnished
externally, offers no lodgment to any of the contents nor any hindrance to the
emptying thereof, and combines all the advantages desired in such a utensil.
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 :-
The improved spittoon formed and fitted substantially as hereinbefore-
lescribed.

Republic.]
An Improvement in Cams for Stampers and the like.
I, JOHN SHAW SHELDRICK of No. 1 Crosby Square in the County of London,
Secretary to Public Companies, 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 the construction of cams for working stampers and the
like in such a nanner as to avoid the inequalities of strain that occur with such cams
as they are usually made, and the consequent rapid and unequal wear of the cam
shaft and its bearings as well as of the stampers and their stems.
For this purpose, the cam is made as shewn in side view by Fig. 1 of the
accompanying drawings and in plan by Fig. 2. Instead of its being, as usual, a
single cam acting on the tappet collar on only the one side of the stamper stem, it
is, according to this invention, made as a duplex or twin cam so as to act on the
tappet on each side of the stem, and, the two sides of the cam being equal in their
curvature, they lift the stamper evenly, without any lateral strain on it or on the
cam. As it is desirable that the stamper should be turned partly round at each
lift, the arm of the cam on the one side is made a little longer as indicated at A
than the arm on the other side, the elongated part being wider and of circular
curvature struck from the centre of the shaft. Thus after the stamper is raised to
the full height, the tappet on the one side having passed clear of the shorter cam,
the tappet on the other side remains for a short time on the elongated part, and the
stamper stem is thus, without being farther lifted, turned partly round before it
finally leaves the cam.
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 cam for stampers and the like made duplex or with two sides one on each side
of the stamper stem, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Children's Velocipede Horses.
I, OTTO GEHRICKE, Postal Clerk, residing at 8, am Markt, Heidelberg, in the
Grand Duchy of Baden 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 an improved recreation apparatus for children, and
consists of a novel construction of velocipede combined with tho figure of a horse
adapted to imitate a horse's galloping action, which apparatus in addition to the
healthful exercise of cycling also affords the user a source of amusement.
In the annexed drawing,
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved velocipede horse, and
Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
The velocipede is propelled through the medium of the pedals a, sprooket-
wheels b and c, and the chain d, in the ordinary way, the sprocket wheel being
mounted upon the axle e of the rear wheels C. The front or steering wheel B i
of comparatively small diameter, so as to allow for the figure of a horse A being
mounted above it. The horse A is mounted upon a spring which is carried by the
pivot of the wheel B. The motion produced by the inequalities of the surface
over which the velocipede is propelled is communicated to the horse by the spring 1,.
and thus imparts to it an action similar to the action of a galloping horse.
In order that the legs of the user may not come into contact with the hind legs.
of the horse, it is necessary that the front wheel B should be a sufficient distance
in advance of the rear wheels C, which in turn necessitates the use of a special'
form of steering gear. For this purpose the yoke of the steering wheel is
connected to a corresponding cross-bar on the lower extremity of the standardi
by the rods g, h, which together form a parallel motion. The standardi is.
journalled in the back-bone of the velocipede, and carries upon its upper extremity
the handle bar A, to which the reius of the horse are led. The velocipede is.
provided with a step to assist the user in mounting, and for the accommodation.
of a passenger.
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 combination of a velocipede provided with steering gear such as above-
described, and the figure of a horse adapted to imitate a galloping action &
constructed and adapted to operate substantially as herein described with reference.
to the annexed drawing.

Improvements in Electric Accumulators:

Improvements in Electric Accumulators:
I, DOCTOR ADOLF KOCH, of No. 1 Nordstrasse, Dresden Neustadt, in the
Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, 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 the accumulator forming the subject of the present invention it is intended to
produce a substantial and indestructible combination of the constituent particles of
the active material with the electrodes as well as amongst themselves, without
however increasing the weight of the mass or interfering with its porosity. The
active material thus prepared can be applied in a thick layer so that nearly the
whole of the liquid becomes absorbed by the material itself or by the binding
medium.
These advantages are obtained through a combination of the material with the
electrodes, as also amongst the constituent particles of the material, by means of an
addition of plaster of Paris, which latter, after setting, presents an extremely solid
and at the same time light and porous mass, which is at the same time acid proof.
It is obvious that instead of plaster of Paris, other combinations of lime may be
employed which will combine with the sulphuric acid of the electrolyte, especially
slaked lime.
The plates used for electrodes are preferably carbon plates, instead of lead, as
the former have not only the advantage over the lead plates of combining great
solidity with lightness and of being therefore better suited for transport without
fear of becoming damaged through bending and the crumbling off of the active
material, but also of retaining the plaster and thereby the active material itself
within its pores in a more efficient way.
In carrying the invention into practice I prefer to make use of the following
proportions; 100 grammes of red lead, 40 grammes of plaster of Paris (gypsum)
and 30 cubic centimeters of water; these materials are mixed into a paste like mass,
with which the carbon plates are then coated. The plates may be provided with
perforations, projections, ribs and the like.
It is also preferable to saturate the electrolyte before using it with plaster of
Paris (gypsum), so as to prevent the plaster coating on the carbon plates irom
being partially dissolved by the electrolyte.
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. An accumulator having the constituent particles of the active material com-
bined with the electrodes, which latter are preferably made of carbon, as also
amongst themselves, by means of plaster of Paris or other similar lime combinations
which, through the action of the electrolyte, are turned into plaster, substantially
as herein described.
2. The improved accumulator constructed substantially as herein described.

An Improved Menstruation Bandage.
We, AUGUST FRIEDEMANN of Schandauerstrasse, Dresden-Striesen, Orthopedist.
and LOUIS DIETRICH of Leipzigerstrasse Dresden, Merchant, both in the 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 has for object to provide a more convenient and efficacious
baudage for the use of women during the menstruation period.
In the drawing Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a side view partly in section and
an end view of the menstruation bandage of this invention. It comprises au india
rubber vessel a of the form shewn in the drawing and to give it a better bearing against
the person, bordered at top by an india rubber tube b which is kept in shape by
a wire e enclosed in another tube d bordering the vessel a. e is a tube leading from
the bottom of vessel a and serving for the passage of the discharge collecting in the
vessel and of urine, and is closeable at the end by means of a stopper. The two
ends of the vessel are furnished with loops through which at each end of the vessel
is passed a small india rubber tube g the ends of these being attached to bands h
and these latter by means of buckles to a waist belt i which when put on and the
different attachments buckled up will bring the vessel a firmly against the person
and shut it off closely at the tubular border b.
For night wear the end of vessel a opposite to that in which tube e is located, is
furnished with wadding for absorbing the discharge, otherwise the end pressed
inwards in lying and with discharge collected therein would be in inconvenient
contact with the body.
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:
In a bandage of the kind referred to an india rubber vessel a drawn firmly over
the corresponding part of the person by means of bands leading from the two
ends thereof and attached by buckles to a waist belt i also fastened by a buckle,
said vessel being thereby closely shut off against the person by india rubber tube b,
and the provision in said vessel of a tube e for the convenient withdrawal or passage
of the discharge and urine, substantially as described and shewn.

Improvements in Firelighters.
I, CHARLES GRENFELL SATTERTHWAITE Rapid Firelighter Works, Canal
Street, Manchester, E., in the County of Lancaster, Firelighter 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 the composition and manufacture of firelighters, and
consists in the combination of the ingredients hereinafter described, which are mixed
and poured into moulds, when they are subjected to pressure and dried.
The object of this invention is to manufacture a firelighter that will burn freely
and produce an effective supply of heat, so as to secure rapid combustion of the fuel
it is intended to ignite.
In the manufacture of firelighters according to this invention, 1 employ the
following substances, in or about the proportions stated.
Dried animal charcoal, which is charcoal that is obtained by slowly drying the
refuse of the hoofs and other like portions of the carcases of animals after they have
been chemically treated, ten parts said charcoal being pulverized and mixed with
melted resin, twenty parts sawdust or chippings, forty parts and mineral oil, one
part. This compound is well blended and poured into moulds before the resin has
cooled; the moulds, which may be square round, octagon, or of other preferred
shape, have cores projecting upwards from the interior surface of the bottom of the
mould, in the manner that has been previously employed in the manufacture of fire-
lighters, by which one or more holes are formed through said firelighter, so as to
assist combustion. When the moulds are filled they are placed under a screw or
other press, by which means a compact mass is formed which when dried is ready
for use.
Vegetable or other kinds of charcoal than such as herein before described may
be employed if preferred, and the use of mineral oil may be dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
my
said
1st. Firelighters composed of dried animal charcoal in combination with resin,
sawdust or chippings, and with or without mineral oil, substantially as herein before
described.
2nd. Firelighters composed of dried animal or other charcoal in combination
with substances of the nature substantially as herein before described.

Improvements in Printing Multi- or Parti-coloured Devices on
Toy Balloons.
We FRANCIS WILLIAM MOTTERSHAW of 21 Pinder Street, Hulme, Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Manager of the Balloon Department of Messrs. Charles
Macintosh and Company Limited, and CHARLES MACINTOSH AND COMPANY
LIMITED, of Cambridge Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, India
Rubber 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 and accompanying drawing :—
Our said invention relates to improvements in the printing of multi- or parti-
coloured devices or lettering on toy balloons.
Heretofore such devices have been executed in monochrome but in order to obtain
a novel effect for the purpose of ornamentation or for using such balloons as
advertising media we cause the imprint of the device to be made in two or more
colours by a single impression.
In carrying into effect our said invention we distribute the printing ink or colour
on a pad or colour supplying surface in patches or stripes of various colours from
which the colour is taken off either directly by applying the printing block to the
multi-coloured ink supplying surface or indirectly by rollers used for transferring
the inks to the printing block.
Where the coloured inks are intended to blend with each other they are applied
by a brush to the pad but in cases where it is desired to keep the colours perfectly
distinct from each other we prefer to use a compound pad as shown in section in
which a a a are detached pads separated by thin strips of metal bb pressed upwards
by springs c c so that in their normal state they project beyond the surface of the
pads, and keep the colours of the pad distinct from each other. When the colour
transferring roller or the printing block is laid on the compound pad the thin plates
are depressed and the colour may be taken off.
Pins, ribs or other like devices are used for ensuring the proper "registering" of
the colours on the printing block as will be well understood.
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-
1. The hereinbefore described process of producing multi- or parti-coloured
devices on toy balloons substantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture a toy balloon having a device printed thereon
in two or more colours substantially as hereinbefore set forth.

page_text: To overcome this objection I arrange over the nozzles a removable spray
conductor L, consisting of a glass tube of uniform size and having an unobstructed
outer end.
The rear end of the conductor is encased in a rubber jacket which tightly fits
over the tube and pipe forming an air tight joint. This conductor may be curved
as shown or straight as may be found expedient.
In Fig. 21 have shown a modified form in which the pipe C is arranged
at one side allowing the piping to pass down at the side of the cup. This form
may be convenient in some cases. I have also shown in this form a modification of
the neck F, in which case the neck is carried back and forward thus forming an
extended handle.
In operation the liquid is placed in the cup and the nozzle adjusted to deliver
the spray to the proper point. The bulb is then pressed, forcing the air through
the nozzle section drawing the liquid from the cup and spraying it at the
discharge end of the suction pipe.
In constructing the device I preferably form the same of glass throughout,
excepting the bulb and rubber piping. By this means acids may be used
without bad results as would be the case if inetal were used and the device is
more readily produced.
I am aware that many minor changes in the construction and arrangement of
the parts of the device can be made and substituted for those herein shown
and described without in the least departing from the nature and principle of my
invention.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure
by Letters Patent is :-
1. In an atomizer, the combination with a liquid holding cup, of a suction tube
leading out from the base and forming a part thereof, a drip flange on the suction
tube having a lip projecting over the edge of the cup, an air pipe and an air
forcing device connected to the air pipe, substantially as described.
2. An atomizer consisting of an air and suction tube, a liquid holding cup, an
integral connection between the base of the cup, and a suction tube having a
rearward bend thereon constituting a hand piece and an air bulb on the air tube,
substantially as described.
3. In an atomizer, the combination with an open mouth cup, a rearwardly
extending handle at the base of the cup, a suction tube leading out from and below
the base of the cup and an air tube on the suction tube, substantially as
described.
4. In an atomizer, the combination with a liquid holding cup, of a suction
tube leading out from the base and forming a continuation thereof and carried
up parallel with the sides of and in close proximity to the cup, and above the top
thereof, a discharge nozzle above the cup, and an air tube having its rear end at
or near the top of the cup, substantially as described.

This invention relates to a roller for typewriters and also to a plate for manifold
writing apparatus, the purpose being to facilitate the obtaining of duplicate copies
of type or hand written documents. In accordance with the invention the roller
and plate are made of porcelain, clay, china clay, or analogous material, with
roughened surfaces which may be produced by engraving, stamping, chasing or
other approved method.
A sheet of waxed stencil paper is placed over the roller or plate and in the case
of the former is struck with the type; in that of the latter is written upon with a
style. In both cases the roughened surface produces perforation in the waxed
paper which is then used in the ordinary method as a stencil for obtaining manifold
copies.
By making such rollers and plates of porcelain, clay and like material, they can
be produced by a potter at small cost.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention we declare that what we claim is.
1. A roller or platen for typewriting machines made of porcelain, clay, or china
clay or analogous material, with a roughened surface for obtaining wax paper
stencils for manifolding, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in or relating to Table-knives.
I, REINHOLD KROHN, of Sterkrade, in the Empire of Germany, 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 present invention relates to a table-knife which, in combination with a fork,
is specially applicable for cutting and serving fish.
As may be seen from the accompanying drawing Fig. and 2 of which show
respectively a side and back view of the new device, the latter consists of a table-
knife with a blade K, at the side of which a spring f is arranged in such a manner
that the latter, when the knife is not being used, is at a short distance from and
parallel to the blade. By a slight pressure on the spring at d where the spring is
enlarged it may be pressed towards the blade and thus, in combination with the
blade forms a pair of tongs. After the fish is cut by means of the blade, the bones
may be seized and pulled out by means of the spring.
Instead of a fixed or rigid
blade and a flexible blade two yielding blades may be used, which when pressed
against each other form the usual blade of the fish-knife. The new knife may be
made of silver, or other suitable metal or alloy.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A table-knife suitable for cutting fish having a spring which in combination
with the blade forms a pair of tongs serviceable for seizing and pulling out fish
bones substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. In a table knife such as characterized in Claim 1 the substitution for the fixed
blade of the knife of a second spring which when pressed against the other spring
is suitable for cutting fish substantially as described.

and German Empire, Law Student, 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 brushes which are capable of folding upon themselves
so that in one position they may be used as ordinary brushes while in another
position they are adapted for being conveniently carried in a case or pocket.
The accompanying drawings to which reference is hereinafter made illustrate
in what manner this invention may be carried into effect.
Figure 1 shews a side view of the brush when in a position for use.
Figure 2 is an end view of the same brush in the same position.
Figure 3 represents a plan of the brush.
Figure 4 illustrates the brush in its alternative position when it may conveniently
be placed within a case or in the pocket.
As illustrated by the drawings the brush consists of two parts A and B joined
together by hinges C in such a manner that the fingers and thumb of the user
hold the two parts firmly together when the brush is in use.
When the brush is
in its alternative position as shewn by Figure 4 the upper surfaces of the two
parts A and B rest upon one another and the brush is in a flat state favourable
for insertion into a case D and for carrying in the pocket.
Brushes of many classes may be constructed according to this invention so as
to be adapted for convenient personal transport.
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-

We, JOHN PHILLIPS OLDROYD and NELLIE HOCKING LANE both of
240 Regent Street, London, Manager (also a Director of) and Buyer respectively
for J. Allison & Co. Limited of the same address, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in corsets.
Our corset may be constructed of any suitable material and in the usual way up
to the required height. The bust however is extended in front by two flaps made
of some pliant material or materials and having shoulder straps to keep them in
position. When in ordinary use a more perfect support by these means is given to
the figure and when required for evening wear with a low dress the flaps can be
easily detached from the shoulder straps, and folded inwards thus enlarging and
improving the bust. The shoulder straps may be of any ordinary material fastened
(preferably) at the back & pierced with holes in front to engage with hooks upon
the flaps so that the length may be regulated.

Improvements in Corsets.
We, JOHN PHILLIPS OLDROYD and NELLIE HOCKING LANE both of
240 Regent Street, London, Manager (also a Director of) and Buyer respectively
for J. Allison & Co. Limited of the same address, 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:-
Our invention relates to an inproved corset which we describe as follows:-
It is constructed of any suitable material and like an ordinary corset except
that the front of the bust is extended upwards by the addition of two flaps or
lappets made of some pliant material in a shape adapted to the figure. These are
secured to or form part of the corset itself in front whilst shoulder straps fastened
to the corset behind engage with hooks or some other suitable fastening upon the
flaps or lappets so as to keep them in position.
Figure A. shows a front view of the corset with the lappets a. a. and the
shoulder straps b. b. in use.
Figure B. shows a back view of the corset.
When desired to use the corset with evening dress the lappets can be detached
from the shoulder straps as in Figure C. and folded down inside the corset.
This acts as a configurateur and improver of the bust. The shoulder straps then
either fall loose behind or can also be folded away.
By our invention we provide a useful and improved corset adapted for wear in
either summer or winter and with either a high or a low dress.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A corset provided with a lappet or lappets, or having an extension upwards to
fit the bust which can be used or folded away at pleasure.
2. The corset substantially as above described.

A communication from HENRI N. E. L'ALLEMAND, of 122, Rue Gallait, Brussels,
in the Kingdom of Belgium.
I, Alfred JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent 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 tyres for velocipedes and offers a great advantage over
others at present known in respect of its lightness and facility of fixing.
In the accompanying drawings;
J represents the wheel-rim which is slightly hollowed in the middle, for the
reception of the hollow rubber tube T. The rim is also provided with two side-
recesses to receive the heels of the protector.
C is the air tube.
P is the protector or external covering provided with heels for attachment to the
rim. Adhesively fixed on the inner surface of the protector is a strong canvas
lining M.
Tis an endless tube of hollow rubber, without any opening placed in the hollowed
centre of the wheel-rim J.
The tube T of hollow rubber or the like being placed in its place, all that is
needed is to compress it slightly when the heels of the protector P are to be fixed
within the lateral recesses of the wheel-rim; and that having been done the tube T
resumes its circular shape thus exercising a slight pressure on the heels, sufficient
to keep them closely seated home in the angles of the recesses. If now the air-
chamber when mounted be inflated, it will press upon the top of the hollow rubber
tube T which will thereby be compressed and distended laterally (Fig. 2) acting
like a wedge to drive the heels of the protecting cover tightly against the flanges
of the rim J so as to fix the whole tyre firmly thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner
the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
A tyre for velocipedes and other like vehicles characterised by the use of a
hollow tube of india-rubber or other suitable material which holds firmly in place
the heels of an external cover or protector within angular recesses provided on the
wheel-rim the pressure of such tube upon the said heels being reinforced when it
is compressed and crushed in consequence of the inflation of the air-chamber or
pneumatic tyre the whole substantially as described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings.
