Improvements in Pots or Vessels and Saucers for Flowers
and Plants.
I HENRY KINSEY of the Robin Hood Works Bellevue Street Swansea and
County of Glamorgan Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the formation and construction of pots or vessels and
saucers for flowers and plants in such a way as to enable the plants to be kept in
good health by an automatic supply of moisture to the foliage-by evaporation or
(in some cases) to the soil by percolation and also to protect the plants from the
ravages of slugs or other creeping insects, in one part of my invention I form in one
piece with, upon, and around the flower pot or vessel a trough shaped groove for
the purpose of holding water, the said groove may be formed at any desired height
on the pot or vessel but preferably round the bottom, and may be of any desired
width or debth, in some cases I make the pot or vessel and groove of nearly equal
debth, when the groove is formed of clay in one piece with the pot the water in the
groove will have a tendancy to keep the soil and plant in the pot cool and moist by.
a slight percolation and evaporation in some cases instead of inaking or forming a
trough shaped groove in or upon the pot or vessel I make a separate trough shaped
ring of any desired debth in such a way that it can be readily attached to the pot
or vessel when required, or the said trough shaped grooved ring may be laid upon
the soil around the plant or plants that it is wished to protect, in some cases
according to my invention I make the saucers (for use with the said pots or
vessels) with one or more trough shaped grooves for the purpose of holding water,
I prefer to make the saucers with an aperture or apertures in the centre which
will allow free drainage, but in some cases instead of making an aperture or
apertures in the saucer I raise the inner edge of the groove sufficiently high to
allow for drainage of the plant into the centre part of the saucer, I dont confine
the shapes of the pots or vessels to a circular form in plan but make them of
various shapes such as square, oblong, oval or other forms, and of clay, wood, zinc,
or any other suitable material.

Improvements in Ornamented Fabrics.
1, ALPHONSE H. KURSHEEDT of 168, West 78th Street, in the City County
and State of New York, United States of America, 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 relates to fabrics ornamented with spangles which are secured
to the fabric in a very efficient manner.
To this end my invention consists in the new and useful article of manufacture
hereinafter set forth and claimed.
My invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawing
in which Figure 1 is a face view of a specimen of my improved ornamented fabric
and Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view thereof.
In the drawing A is a section of fabric and a a' a² are spangles attached thereto
according to any suitable pattern or design.
In Figure 2, which is greatly enlarged for clearer illustration, the spangles are
not however shewn as actually touching the fabric but to all intents and purposes
the spangles would be in contact with the fabric.
The spangles are secured to the fabric by a plurality of threads be one of the
threads lying on one side of the fabric A and one on the other. The thread b,
whose course we will now follow, passes through the opening or eye 1 of the
spangle a and through the fabric in a loop returning through the eye 1 of
the same spangle thence across the face of that spangle and of the next spangle a¹
to the eye of that spangle through which it passes in a loop as before, and so
on. The thread c which is on the side of the fabric A opposite to the spangles
passes through all the loops in the thread 6 so as to form a two-thread lock-stitch
which holds the spangles to the fabric. By thus securing the spangles to the
fabric the thread 6 overlays the spangles and prevents them from being turned
up on edge and at the same time from the character of the stitch ripping out
of the threads is extremely improbable.
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
As a new and useful article of manufacture, the herein described ornamented
fabric consisting of a fabric A having spangles upon one face thereof secured
thereto by means substantially as described, to wit:-A thread 6 overlaying the
spangles from edge to edge and holding the same from being turned up on edge
and a thread c passing along the side of the fabric opposite to the side which
carries the spangles the two threads interlocking through the eyes of the spangles
so that provision is made thereby against ripping out of the threads.

A Sheet Metal Holdfast for Securing Glass in the Glazing of
Conservatories, Greenhouses, and the like.
I WILLIAM NOTT of Cranleigh in the County of Surrey Glazier, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, that is to say:-
My invention consists of pieces of sheet metal as zinc, iron, copper, of suitable
lengths, widths, and thickness, as the glass and woodwork in each case may require.
Each piece of sheet metal is serrated on one side or edge, forming teeth-like
projections, and is used at all lapped edges of the glass.
The serrated side or edge of each metal plate, is driven into the side of the
wood work, or rebate, and lies flat on the glass at each lapped edge, securely
keeping down the glass at each lap. I also turn down one end of each piece of
sheet metal sufficiently over the edge of the glass, at each lap, to prevent each pane
or sheet of glass from sliding down, thereby making a neat and efficient holdfast
for each pane of glass.
I do not limit the size of cach hold fast, or the size and number of teeth like
projections on each.
In order that my invention may be the more readily understood I append here-
unto one sheet of explanatory drawings shewing its application as fixed, and

I, HERMANN STEINBECK, of Wiesenstrasse 2, Leipzig, in the Empire of Germany,
Factory Director, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what.
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described in, and by the
following statement :-
The hairs of the dressed already shorn, unhaired or pulled skins in natural or
dyed state, are brushed mechanically or by hand against their direction by means.
of brushes, so that the hairs remain standing upright.
In this state the skins are laid upon an elastic straight or curved under layer
and worked by hand by means of sharp knives or so called shaving knives against
the direction of the hair, whereby the harder, stiffer hairs keeping the wool hair
pressed down in natural state are cut off, whilst the finer wool hair escapes the
cutting and remains.
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 process for removing the stiff hairs on dressed, already shorn, unhaired or
pulled rabbit seal or other skins in natural or dyed state, in which process the furs
are brushed up by hand or mechanically so that the hairs remain standing upright
and are then treated by means of so called shaving knives upon an elastic straight
or curved under layer, whereby the stiff hairs are cut, while the wool hair escapes
the knives.

Improvements in Surgical Bandages and the like.
I, MAX ARNOLD of 22 Beckerstrasse, Chemnitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony
and Gerinan Empire, 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 surgical bandages and the like, and its object is the
production of such bandages as may be applied without risk of producing irritation,
of permitting the development of bacteria, or of being in any way injurious.
For the purpose of my invention I coat or impregnate the material of which the
bandage or the like is composed, with metallic silver.
The silver may be precipitated upon the silk, cotton, linen, wadding or other
material to be used, from a solution of a suitable silver salt by known means, or it
may be applied in the form of powder or in thin sheets or leaves. I may, for
example, spread or stretch the material of which the bandage is to be composed
upon a suitable frame or table and coat it with a solution of starch, dextrin,
albumen or other suitable glutinous substance, thereafter sprinkling powdered
silver over it so that the silver covers and adheres to the whole surface.
Alternatively, I may make the silver powder up into a kind of paint, and apply
this silver paint upon the surface of the material, or instead of applying silver
powder to the adhesive surface, I may apply leaf or thin sheet silver so as to cover
the surface. After the silvered material has been naturally or artificially dried, it
is subjected to pressure between rollers or in a suitable press, thus effecting a more
perfect union of the silver with the material.
If the silver is employed in a fine state of division and in mechanical suspension
in a liquid, I may, instead of painting it upon the material as herein before
described, pass the material through the silver-containing liquid, and thereafter
between squeezing rollers to press out the superfluous liquid.
In the same way, if the metallic silver be chemically precipitated in or upon the
material, I may pass it through rollers after leaving the bath, to press out the
liquid, and afterwards through one or more baths of water to wash out the chemicals
used: In either case, the silvered material is preferred to be pressed as already set
forth, before being made up for use.
The silvered material is preferred to be sterilized by exposing it to a minimum
temperature of 205° C. in dry steam or air, immediately after which it is made up
for sale and use in air-tight boxes or packages. In this condition it will remain
unchanged and effective for many years.
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 :-
Surgical bandages conted or impregnated with metallic silver, produced or
prepared substantially as herein before described.

Improvements in Rolling Mills.
I, WALTHER GROSS of Remscheid, Ehringhausen, 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 relates to an arrangement for rolling small pieces of work in
which only one fixed upper roller is used, which receives no special impulsion, but
is operated by friction by means of a carriage running on rollers or by means of
matrices arranged at a regulatable height on the carriage. This device is showu
in section in the annexed drawing.
In a framing a is fixed a rotary roller w and beneath the latter by means of any
impulsion one or several carriages s are moved to and fro, which run on rollers +
and upon which is arranged the matrix m receiving the blank. The matrix must
have exactly such a height, that on moving it under the roller the latter presses
tightly upon the matrix so that a correct rolling out can be effected and further
that the roller is automatically turned by the friction on the matrix. In such an
arrangement it is no more necessary to give to the roller a special impulsion, the
whole arrangement is thus simplified and besides driving force is saved as the
carriage with the matrix moves upon rollers on its under side and with its upper
side it moves also under a roller.
In order to place the matrix always so high, that the roller is securely operated,
it is advantageous, to provide the carriage on the top or on the bottom, or the
matrix on its bottom with a hollow, in which under lying plates n preferably of
different thickness can be arranged, so that when the matrix is worn or when using
matrices of different height, these can always be arranged so that a tight contact is
obtained between the matrix and the roller.
The same might also be obtained, by using horizontally divided carriages or
matrices and by arranging the under lying plates between these parts.
By conveniently choosing under lying plates of suitable thickness the height of
the matrix can always be changed, so that secure co-operation of the top roller is
always attained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
Improvements in rolling mills for small work-pieces comprising a rotary fixed
roller and beneath the latter carriages movable upon rollers and carrying the
matrices with under lying plates in the carriages or the matrices for the purpose of
bringing the roller into revolution by friction by means of the contact thus produced
with the matrix.

Fraudulent Re-filling of same.
I, JOHN LANG of 4, Beak Street, Regent Street, London, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in or connected with bottles, the object
being to prevent the fraudulent re-filling of same, and in carrying my invention
into practical effect I provide a small device designed to be forced into the neck of
the bottle, the said device consisting essentially of a short cylindrical body formed
of a length of metal tubing or other suitable material and furnished upon its outer
surface with a layer of cork or the like designed to come into contact with the
glass. Within this cylindrical body thus formed I arrange two small flap valves,
one above the other and hinged at opposite sides, said valves opening to allow the
liquid in the bottle to pass therefrom, while effectually preventing fresh liquor
being inserted in the bottle.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the upper part of a bottle, partly in section, showing
my improved device in position.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of my improved device with the second positions
of the valves shown in dotted lines and Fig. 3 is a plan of same, both drawn to an
enlarged scale.
My improved device consists of a short cylindrical body a furnished upon the
outside with a layer of cork or the like c which presses against the glass when the
said device is in position in the neck n of the bottle b, the device, after the bottle
has been filled, being pushed a sufficient distance down the neck so as to leave a
space s at the top to receive the ordinary cork for closing same.
Within the cylindrical body a I arrange two flap valves a', a², hinged at opposite
sides as shown, said valves opening into the position shown in dotted lines when the
bottle is tilted up so as to allow the contents to escape, while the flaps of the said
valves are sufficiently heavy to assume their normal or closed position as soon as
the bottle is righted, thus effectually closing the entrance of same and preventing
the insertion of fresh liquor.
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 improvements in or connected with bottles for preventing the fraudulent
re-filling of same, substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Figured and Fancy Woven Fabrics.
I, ROBERT FITTON, Cotton Spinner and. Manufacturer, and HERBERT
TATTERSALL, Manager, both of 13 Bloom Street, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, 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 figured and fancy woven fabrics in which patterns and
designs are produced by warp threads or warp-wise, and its object is to produce
greater variety, to permit a wider scope for effect, and to produce a new and
pleasing appearance in such fabrics.
In manufacturing the fabrics according to our invention we introduce into the
cloth warp-wise, doubled, stranded, or corded threads of lustrous metal or such
threads individually or collectively covered with lustrous metal, and we may still
further improve the appearance of the fabric by lacquering the metal or metallic
coverings with suitable coloured lacquers. Thus, in a single fabric we may have
gold threads, silver threads, and coloured metallic threads either alone, or two
or more of them in various combinations according to the effect desired to be
produced. We may also in single "ends" have strands of different characters
and colours.
If all the metallic or metal covered threads or ends employed at once for
the purpose of our invention are of the same "count" or size, and all produce
similar patterns, they may be separately wound upon an auxiliary beam for use
in the loom, and be threaded through the healds and reed as and with the ground
warp. But generally it is better to wind these threads upon separate bobbins and
arrange these bobbins in a frame at the back of the loom. The threads from the
bobbins are in this case brought into the warp, under or over the ordinary beam
upon which the ground warp is wound.
The designs themselves may be produced in the ordinary known manner by
Jacquard machines, dobbies, or otherwise.
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 :-
As new articles of manufacture, figured and fancy woven fabrics in which
patterns or designs are produced warp-wise by doubled, stranded, or corded threads
the components of which are separately or collectively coated with lustrous metal
or consist solely of lustrous metal which may be coloured or not with suitable
lacquer, manufactured substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

WC, ANTON KEMPF, Workmaster, and. JOHANN BAPTIST BIRKENMEIER,
Merchant of Freiburg in the Kingdom of Bavaria do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Heretofore children made use of so-called pen-boxes, pen-cases or similar
receptacles for keeping their slate-pencils in or else they carried them loose in
their pockets. Here it often happened that a child came to shool without writing
material, the case having either been forgotten at home or in chauging its clothes
the child had left the slate-pencil in the pockets in another dress.
In order to remove these disadvantages I have constructed a slate with which
the receptacle for the pencil is inseparably connected.
For this purpose the slate is enclosed in a frame one side of which A contains a
hole a into which the pencil fits. A slide c, which may be placed either in the
entre of the side B adjoining the perforated part of the frame (Fig. 1) or at its
side, (Fig. 2) or perhaps at the front side of the frame-piece, prevents the pencil
from falling out.
Cutting a hole in the frame should cause any difficulty or increase the price of
manufacture, the side A may also be made in two parts and a groove be cut out in
each half, which when the halves are glued on to each other, form a tube-like
hollow.

An Improvement in Woven Fabrics.
I, LEWIS HASLAM, of Ravenswood, near Bolton, in the County of Lancaster,
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 :-
In my Specifications No. 15862 of 1887, and No. 15936 of 1887 I have
described the manufacture, by weaving, of a fabric having much of the elasticity
and warmth of knitted fabrics.
In weaving this fahrie, pairs of ordinary warp threads are employed crossed by
weft threads in the usual way, there also are alternating with these pairs of warps
other pairs of longer warp threads, which after several picks are made to cross to
right and left over the adjoining ordinary warps, and then, after several picks, to
cross to left and right over them again, this crossing being repeated at equal
intervals throughout the fabric.
My present invention relates to the manufacture of a fabric of this kind of such
a character that one side or face of it, when raised by a gig mill or otherwise, has
all the quality of a woollen fabric adopted to be worn next the skin, while the
material is not liable to shrink as woollen goods do.
For this purpose, I use wefts of cotton and of woollen thread alternately, but,
in order to simplify the loom, I prefer to alternate these wefts in pairs, so that
each throw of either in the one direction is followed by the back throw of the
same.
Instead of employing the wool threads as weft they may be used as the ordinary
warp threads or as the warp threads which cross over these, all the weft threads
in this case being cotton; or, in some cases, they may be of wool and cotton
alternately as described.
The fabric thus woven, having its one side or face operated on by any suitable
raising machine, presents a woolen nap all over its surface which gives great
comfort and warmth in wear, as if the garment made of it were entirely woollen,
but which is prevented from shrinking by the cotton wefts alternating with the
woollen.
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:-
1. A woven fabric consisting of two sets of pairs of cotton warps, those of the
one set crossing at intervals those of the other set, and all interlaced by weft threads
of cotton and of wool alternating either singly or in pairs, the fabric so woven having
its one face subjected to raising so as to form a nap thereon.
2. A modified woven fabric of the kind above referred to in which the warp
threads of either set are of wool.

Improvements in Bottles.
I, EDWARD WILLIAM FRANKENBERG
Manufacturer, of 8 Aldersgate
Buildings in the City of London 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 a bottle which, after being once
emptied cannot be filled again. The bottle embodying this invention is constructed
with a valve arrangement that allows liquid to be poured out of the bottle but
automatically closes against the admission of liquid.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which.
Fig. 1 shows a bottle embodying this invention, upright and in a vertical
section,
Fig. 2 a plan view thereof,
Fig. 3 shows the stopper and parts connected therewith, represented on an
enlarged scale,
Fig. side elevation and plan of a hood hereinafter more fully described,
Fig. 5 section of the bottle when inclined, the valves being open for the emission
of liquid.
The bottle A is closed by the stopper B driven into its neck. The stopper is
pierced with two passages into which are inserted tubes cc of glass or metal. The
tube c extends to a considerable length into the bottle. Valves D. D' close the
tubes each valve having a guide-rod (E E¹ respectively) extending beyond
the tube. The ends of the guide-rods are bent and carry weights F F. On the
top of the stopper is provided a hood G which prevents the valves being seized
and held open from outside the bottle.
When the bottle is inclined beyond the horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 5
the valves open and the liquid flows out through the tube c whilst air enters
through the tube c'. The bent portions of the valve rods form inclines and this
in conjunction with the weights F F closes the valves as soon as the bottle
returns to its normal position as gravitation compels the valves to return to their
seat. The valves may be conical as shown, or hemispherical, or of other suitable
shape.
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 bottle having the tubes c c in which are guided the rods of weighted
valves D D', protected by the bood G, the whole so arranged that the bottle may
not be refilled, as set forth and illustrated in the drawings.

An Improved Shoe for Horses and other Animals.
I, HENRY BARTZ, Civil Engineer, of 12c Rosinenstrasse, Charlottenburg, 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:-
My invention relates to an improved horse shoe which is inexpensive of manufacture
and which can be applied without the use of nails, and is peculiarly applicable to hoofs
that are diseased or crumbled.
My invention consists in the provision of laterally spiked clamps arranged about
the periphery of the shoe for the purpose of the fixture of the shoe to a hoof.
In the accompanying drawings:-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a shoe made in accordance with my invention, while
Figure 2 is a plan thereof, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view showing the shoe applied and secured to a hoof.
In carrying my invention into effect I provide a horse-shoe a of the usual form
and I provide about the lateral outer periphery thereof a series of spiked clamps
to which are integrally provided or secured a spike or pin, or spikes or pins, c
on the inside preferably at the extremity of the several clamps b. The clamps b
may be provided upon the shoe perpendicularly to its upper face as shown in
Figures 1 and 2, and are hammered laterally when the shoe is applied to the hoof,
so that the spikes or pins c may enter the hoof and securely clamp its angular
extremity all round.
It will be seen that the clamps rigidly secure the shoe in position upon the hoof,
while the use of nails is entirely obviated.
It is obvious that a shoe made in accordance with my invention may be of
any size, and may be applied to the hoofs of animals other than the horse which
are shod in a similar manner.
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 improved horse-shoe substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.
2. An improved horse-shoe having lateral clamps provided with spikes or pins
for engaging with the sides of the hoof substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.

Improved Means for Transporting or Carrying Coal from Pit's
Mouth to Consumer.
I, GEORGE SIMPSON, of 55 Coleman Road, Camberwell, County of London,
Merchant, du 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 improved means for transporting or carrying coal
from pits mouth to consumer.
In the conveying of coal between the pits mouth and the consumer it is turned
over many times and is often exposed in bulk in open yards, in which condition it
deteriorates and also gives facilities for the blending of inferior kind, there being
no indication of quality being delivered.
Now according to my invention, I bag coal at the pits mouth in sacks, which
sacks are duly stamped, marked, or impressed with the name of the colliery or the
sacks secured by plates or seals bearing indications of the colliery, or of the owner
of the colliery or the exact district by which some coals are known in order that.
the consumer when receiving the coal so bagged can be assured of the quality
bargained for, there being no breaking up, separation of contents, or change of
any kind.
The sacks so charged at the pits mouth or colliery can be carried by railway, by
boat, or otherwise in the same manner as at present except in sacks instead of in
bulk, the sacks being filled and weighed at the colliery before loading in lieu of
being filled and weighed after loading and transporting.
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 :-
1. The improved means or process hereinbefore set forth of conveying coal in
fixed quantities in marked sacks from the pits mouth or colliery to the consumer
without changing the condition of the coal for the purposes described.
2. The transport of coal direct from a colliery to a consumer in fixed quantities
in sacks or bags duly protected to prevent fraud and as and for the purposes and
objects described.

placing opposite the perforation a piece of glass, mica, xylonite, or other transparent
substance, arranged in a frame and made perfectly watertight, and soldered or
otherwise securely fixed in the perforation of the cil vessel; as shewn at A. in
elevation and at B in section of the accompanying drawing.
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 method adopted for ascertaining the height of the oil in oil lamps as
substantially described in this specification and illustrated by the accompanying
