I, EDWIN LEWIS GYDE of 93 Vyse Street Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Jewellers Factor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This Invention consists in the application of an illuminated dial to a keyless
movement which is effected in the following manner.
An opal or other glass dial is placed in front of the case containing the movement
and held within an outer rim of metal which is supported by a stand which also carries
a metal support to hold a night light.
Or the frame supporting the dial and movement may be attached to a socketted
piece of metal which may be attached to any gas fitting by the removal of the
ordinary jet there being an arm leading from this socketted piece to a short distance
behind the dial to which arm the jet can be attached and thus the dial can be
illuminated by gas.
The advantages of applying the illuminated dials to keyless movements are that
it obviates the necessity of moving them from their position for the purpose of
winding.

Storing Compressed Atmospherio Air to be Used for Blowpipes.
I FREDERICK ERNEST TOWNSEND of No. 7 Stuart Street Luton in the County of
Bedford, Shop Assistant 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 process or method of storing compressed atmospheric air
to be used for Blowpipes, my process or method of storing compressed atmospheric
air to be used for Blowpipes is as follows: I force the said air into a holder constructed
of metal or other suitable material by the aid of Bellows or air pump, either in its
present or purified state. If the said air is purified it is passed through lime water,
or an alkaline solution, the quantity of atmospheric air stored in the holder is twenty
cubic feet more or less, when the said air is required for use the blowpipes are connected
to the holder by flexible or other tubes, the said air is conveyed from the holder
through the tubes to the blow pipes by pressure. The quantity of air required to
supply the blowpipes is regulated by a stop cock or tap. A further advantage attending
my invention is the safety and siniplicity of using the said air with other gases for
blow pipes, when the same is stored and used as set forth as above described and
ascertained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. That my invention contains the combined advantages and utility of most other
means employed for supplying atmospheric air to blow pipes when stored and used as
lierein set forth substantially for the purposes described.

JOHN HENRY VAVASSEUR Engineer & Manufacturer Cowley, near Uxbridge,
Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A circular saw machine provided with a rest and guard. The guard is of such a
shape that the shell of the Cocoa-nut is cut at the ends & sides according to its
varying thicknesses with only a minimum waste of the Kernel.
The shell having been cut in segments by the above process is thereby rendered
easily detachable without fracture of the Kernel.

page_text: to be Removed without Fracture.
JOHN HENRY VAVASSEUR trading as J. H. Vavasseur & Co. Cowley near
Uxbridge Middlesex Engineer & Manufacturer does 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 :-
A circular Saw Machine provided with a rest A, and guard B, the guard having a
V notch C at a point where the thick ends of the shell are inserted. The Nut is taken
in both hands and placed on the table A on its minor axis with one of the ends
opposite notches C. C. It is there pressed against guard B so that the end of the shell
(which is thicker than the sides) enters the notches C. C. and is cut through. The
Nut is then turned gradually round still being pressed against the guard B and in this
movement the gradual raising of the Nut on the end of its major axis prevents such a
deep incision being made through the sides and thus avoids loss of the kernel. This
movement is continued through a complete revolution and the Nut is then placed on
its minor axis as before but with the major axis perpendicular to the plane of the saw.
instead of in the same plane. A similar revolution now produces an annular incision
through the sides at right angles to the first, and the shell is thus divided into
4 segments which are subsequently removed very easily and without injury to
the kernel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The cutting of the Nut shell of varying thicknesses without continually
adjusting rest A and guard B.
2nd. The V notch
in combination with guard B enabling the depth of cut to
be varied according to position of Nut as described.
3rd. The cutting of Nut enables the segments to be easily detached without
fracture of Kernel.

page_text: DANIEL REED 54 Heneage Street Gt. Grimsby Ironmonger's Assistant 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 a sleeve holder and consists of a clip or instrument adapted
to grasp or seize the sleeve of an undergarment at the cuff, and it has for its object
holding the said cuff in position whilst putting on and adjusting the sleeve of an
overgarment.
My sleeve holder consists of a clip or tongs constructed in the following essential
manner The point at which the two members of the clip or tongs are pivotted
together is nearer to the gripping ends of the said members, being at a distance
therefrom equal to about one quarter of the total length of the clip or tongs. The
gripping ends of the members of the clip or tongs are suitably shaped to afford a
good gripping surface.
The manipulating ends of the two members of the clip or tongs are not fashioned
in the same manner as is usually the case in tongs. The end of one member is made
of a loop shape the said loop being bent at an angle of about 45 degrees with the
stem of the said member. The end of the other member is made in the form of a
hook or snap and it is adapted when the clip or tongs is closed to snap over the stem
of the other member above the loop and so hold the tongs closed.
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to any particular con-
struction of clip or tongs so long as they retain the essential features hereinabove set
forth.
It will be understood that in use the sleeve of the undergarment is seized by this
holder, and the thumb or finger of the arm is placed through the loop of the holder,
and thus the sleeve of the undergarment is kept in place while putting on and
adjusting any overgarment. After the overgarment is on, the sleeve holder is removed
by opening the clip or tongs to release the sleeve of the undergarment.
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 [
clain is

raising and partly depressing the metal by means of suitable rollers. The coil of
Wire "A"
is carried upon a reel or swift at the front end of such a Machine from
which it unwinds as the thread raising operation goes on. The thread raising
mechanism acts upon the wire at the point "B" while another reel at the opposite end
of the machine receives and winds up the finished wire in the coil "C"
In " Fig. 2 "E" represents the wire in the condition it is in the coil "A:"
"F" represents the condition where the thread is being raised and "G" is the con-
dition of the finished wire as in the coil "C."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
