An Improved Collar for Personal Wear.
I, CUTHBERT EDWARD HUNTER, of Her Majesty's Ship "Invincible," Netley,
in the County of Hants, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, 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 linen collars, such as are ordinarily worn by men, and is
particularly applicable to collars of the "stand up" type; the objects being to
secure the necktie against riding up or working round, and at the same time to
conceal the button and button hole at the back when the coat is cut low at the neck
or dragged down under the influence of heavy epaulettes.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the mode in which I prefer to carry out
my invention.
Fig. 1 is an elevation of my improved collar;
Fig. 2 being a section taken on the line 2-2.
:
a is the main body of the collar. is a lappet or flap formed by cutting the outer
layer or facing of linen at b, another layer of material being stitched thereto
for the purpose of stiffening the same. The part of the main body which is covered
by the lappet is also furnished with a second layer of material in order to impart
the requisite stiffness and strength thereto. A row of stitching is then applied, as
indicated by the dotted line, which secures the flap and the several thicknesses of
the material in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
The improved collar formed or furnished at the back with a lappet, such as b,
adapted to conceal the button hole and button and serving to embrace and firmly
hold the tie, thus securing the latter against displacement.

performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention has for its object to produce an improved cement composition for
coating the interior surfaces of iron or steel ships and the like to prevent corrosion.
According to my invention I take pumice stone and crush it to a suitable size and
with this material I mix finely ground Portland cement in about the proportions of
two and a half parts by measure of the former to one part by measure of the latter
(but as in some parts of the vessel it is desirable to alter these proportions somewhat,
I do not confine myself precisely to them).
With the above composition I coat the tanks, bilges, decks, or other interior parts
to any required thickness.
As the composition as above set forth is only about half the weight of the mixture
of Portland cement and sand as commonly used the vessel coated with my composition
is able to carry more cargo.
Having now particularly described and explained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
An improved cement composition for the protection from corrosion of the interior
surfaces of iron and steel vessels and the like as hereinabove described and

NI, SAM MORTIMER, of the firm of Joseph Brook and Company of 47 Well
Street Bradford in the County of York, Merchants, 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 its object the production of a fabric which has all the
appearance of more expensively constructed material, and at the same time the
fabric is so made as to evade the otherwise prohibitive duties lately imposed upon
their importation into the United States, through the operation of the McKinley
tariff bill.
I accomplish my object by making the material in the ordinary way, but by
introducing a stripe of linen or flax in lien of silk, as hitherto ; in appearance, the
material so produced is almost equal to the production of the same with the silk
stripe, but with this advantage, the goods are thereby admitted into the United
States at a much lower duty. A material, say at eight pence per yard in home
market would pay, if made with the silk stripe as formerly, eight pence three
farthings per yard to the United States Custom, making the cost of the goods so
made, one shilling and four pence three farthings per yard; by my improvement
the material of the same value, would pay only three pence per yard, thus making
the material eleven pence, per yard, instead of one shilling and fourpence three
farthings.
By this means, the goods will continue to be sent from this country, and thereby
the home industries will not suffer.
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
claim is :-
The method of manufacturing striped fabrics commonly used for sleeve linings
by forming the stripes of linen or flax fibre in lieu of silk as hitherto used.

I, JOSEPH BAIER of 145 Arlington Road Camden Town London N.W. Tailor do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to coiled springs made from flexible metal wire for
insertion in ladies' garments as a stiffener or spring support and as a substitute for
whalebone.
It is made of wire of any kind or shape and of suitable substance. By preference
I use hard steel wire of round, half round or oval section.
In making the springs I wind separate strands of wire into cylindrical rolls or
coils wound slightly open around a pin or mandrill of suitable size. The rings or
coils of the roll should not touch each other but be equidistant one from the other.
Two or more of these coils are then bound together with thin binding wire, the rings
or coils of each roll inclining in opposite directions. In some cases-preferably for
the wider sizes-I pass each coil or spring between rollers or flatting machineg
which flatten it into a flat oval section. I then place two or more of these flattened
strips together by their adjacent edges longitudinally or laterally & bind them
together by passing binding wire between each coil.
The springs when completed may be coated with enamel or other preservative or
may be enclosed in some suitable covering made of cotton or other suitable
substance.
Having now particularly described & 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

Bradford, in the County of York, Stuff 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 certain improvements whereby the material known in
the stuff trade as "imitation crape or crape cloth" and used for ladies wear, is
made more durable and therefore more serviceable than hitherto.
The material known as "imitation crape
"
or crape cloth" is woven in such a
manner as to produce a fabric which has an appearance of real crape, and is largely
used as a substitute for the real and more expensive article.
93
By subjecting this material, in the piece to the well known process of water-
proofing, the fabric is not only rendered impervious to rain, but its form and
appearance is preserved against the deleterious effects of rain to which the material
hitherto produced is subject, thereby rendering the fabric more durable and there-
fore more serviceable.
The waterproofing may be accomplished by any of the well known processes now
in common use for rendering imperial mantle cloths and dress goods water repellent;
as for example, passing the imitation crape fabric through waterproofing machines
and subjecting it to the various solutions known as artificial gums and other water-
proofing compounds, treating it in a similar manner as light dress fabrics.
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 waterproofed material known as imitation crane.

SAMUEL SKERRITT 63 Randal Street Sheffield in the County of Yorkshire
Ironworker 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 of a bell placed underneath the table to be worked by levers
or springs or any other suitable means, and can have from one to four pulls or
pushes as found convenient.
The chief features being that they can be rung from either side or end of table,
also are superior for the purpose to electric bells as they require no battery and are
self sustained, thus doing away with all hand-bells and are most convenient, as a
person can ring without moving from his seat, and can be fixed to any table portable
or otherwise, at a nominal cost.
This invention consists of a clockwork bell which is wound up by a key or a
ratchet bell placed in the centre underneath a table and is actuated upon by means of
pulls and levers, springs, or by any other suitable means and can have from one to
four pulls or pushes as found convenient.
The pull or push rods work in connection with levers which press upon the knob
of the bell and thus cause it to ring.

A Chimney Pot to Prevent Down Draughts and Oure Smoky
. Chimneys.
I WILLIAM JAMES LAWRENCE of 62 Clarendon Road Hove in the County of
Sussex, Bricklayer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The chimney pot is to prevent a flue from smoking by stopping the down
draught by means of a fan and a side outlet. The outlet is made in the side of the
pot a short distance from the top. The fan is made of a suitable metal fixed on a
spindle which goes through the pot at the top of the side outlet, and the fan
projects a short distance from the pot and has wind gears fixed on the top to catch
all side winds. The fan is so placed that the wind coming towards it would cause
the outside of fan to drop and the inside to rise thereby closing the straight flue
and allowing the smoke to pass by the side outlet.

A. Chimney Pot to Prevent Down Draughts and Cure Smoky
Chimneys.
WILLIAM JAMES LAWRENCE 62 Clarendon Road Hove, Sussex Bricklayer 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:-
As shewn on drawing the head of this chimney pot has an outlet (A) on_one
side formed by the wings (BB) and shield (C) with the flap (D) balanced on
pivots (EE) fitted to the sides of outlet. The pot when placed with the outlet in
the opposite direction to the wind which cause the smoke allows that wind (indicated
by the arrow) to blow against the vertex of flap causing it to take the position at
an angle (F) this closes the straight flue, prevents the down draught, and opens
the side ontlet for the egress of the smoke. The head can where necessary be a
revolving one.
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-
That this is the most novel method yet produced for preventing down draught in
chimneys without in any way interfering with the free egress of the smoke or the
sweeping of the chimney.

It contains no working parts which require attending to, and it has an advantage
in dull or foggy weather it being free from covering at the top.
It can be made with any suitable material.

County of London 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 that class of trunks the foundations of which are made

According to this invention I first split the cane and fasten such split pieces
together side by side so as to form sheets of the desired size 1 then cement two
of such sheets together over each other so that the grain in the cane in one
sheet shall be crosswise to the grain in the other sheet in order to strengthen the
formation.
The two thicknesses of cane combined need only be of the same thickness as
the one thickness now employed.
I thoroughly press the two thicknesses together and I cover such foundation
with canvas or other material in the ordinary way.
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 :-
Forming the foundations of trunks of two thicknesses of cane substantially as set

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 its object improvement in matches. According to this my
invention I coat or cover by dipping or otherwise with wax stearine or any other
similar substance the wooden splint ordinarily used in the construction of matches,
such substances to extend to that part of the match, used for ignition. The rigidity
of any wood splint match, is by this meanes combined with steady certain, and long
burning properties, when held or placed in a vertical, and necessary therefore in
any other position.
Having particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is performed, I declair that what I claim is
The improvement in matches consists in coating wooden splints with wax, stearine,
