A Noose-holder for Cigars or Cigarettes.
ROBERT JOHN SHEPHERD 19 Rue Bayard Pau, Basses Pyrénées, France, Registered
Physician Surgeon & Apothecary, (i.e. M.D. M.R.C.S. & L.S.A.) 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 noose-holder consists of a wire which is slipped over, & then tightened on, a
cigar, or cigarette, by means of a sliding bead, or button, which in its turn is kept
in opposition to the cigar, or cigarette, by straightening out the two free ends of the
wire.
To form the noose-holder for cigars, or cigarettes, take a piece of fine malleable
wire about 8 inches long, bend it in half, then take a button, or bead, about the
size of the circumference of a pea, & having two parallel holes perforated through
it, & thread the two free ends of the wire through the two holes in the button, or
bead, one end through each hole. Then slide the button, or bead towards the
closed end of the wire noose-The two free ends of the wire must then each be
twisted into a loop, or otherwise finished off so as to prevent the escape of the
button or bead, & thus forming the two handles of the holder. To use the
noose-holder it is necessary to introduce the end of the cigar, or cigarette,
into the loop formed between the button, or bead, & the closed end of the wire.
Then slide the button, or bead, along the wire until the cigar, or cigarette is firmly
held The straighten out the two free ends of the wire until they are in a straight.
line one with another, & and so form a right-angled cross with the cigar, or cigarette.
This movement clamps the button, or bead against the cigar, or cigarette & so keeps
it firmly in position-The wire so placed does not interfere with the cigar, or
cigarette, being held in the mouth, & it is always available as an handle.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention & in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1. For the holding of a cigar, or cigarette, by means of a wire, or other material,
bent round it so as to form a noose.
II. For the principle of having a holder (other than a tube) which does not require
holding by the hand whilst the cigar or cigarette is in the mouth.

JOB WHITEHOUSE, Bridgtown West, Cannock, Staffordshire, Edge Tool
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 :-
Instead of forging these tools as is usual on the anvil, and which is called being
done by hand, they are now to be done partly or for the most part by stamping or
by a machine for that purpose and partly by trip hammer. They may be made of
all steel, or part iron and part steel, or all iron. The eyes and the heads and part
of the blades may be made by the stamp or machine. The eyes may be oval or
round or square or oblong, and the eyes may have langets attached to them, or they
may not, the blades or cutting parts to be partly done by trip hammer or by steam
hammer.
Mode of making tools mentioned in the first part of my Specification 5560.
Adzes the first work will be to prepare the proper stamp tools suitable for same,
then to fix them properly in an ordinary drop stamp and afterwards, pieces of
square steel of proper size according to the size of the tools required, and when
properly heated in the fire for that purpose then to be put under the stamp and
after two or three blows while under the stamp, it is taken out as an adze, nearly
made, and when taken out of the stamp hot, it is taken to the trip hammer, to draw
out, and finish the cutting part and thus the tool is ready for finishing and the
same process applies to axes, hatchets, hammers, as above.

Improvements in the Construction of Railway Trucks.
I, WILLIAM WALKER, of "The Hawthorns," Saltburn by the Sea, in the County
of Yorkshire, Mining 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 relates to the construction of the underframing of railway goods and
mineral trucks in such a manner as to dispense with the tenoning and mortising
usually employed for jointing the timbers together, and thus to avoid the weakening
of these timbers, or to allow of lighter timbers being employed.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a plan partly in horizontal section of an
underframe according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is partly a side elevation and partly a longitudinal section on X X.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section on Y Y.
DD are the two side timbers which extend entire from end to end.
To these
are fixed four socket brackets C each by a bolt passing through the middle of the
timber and through an external washer plate d, through which also pass the_bolt
ends of straps c c that are bolted to the cross timbers E above and below. Each
of these cross timbers fits into the socket parts of the brackets C along with a
flitch plate B which covers one side of it and which has recessed parts in its face
to receive the ends of the longitudinal timbers F and diagonals G. The other ends
of these timbers F and G are received in recesses on the face of a flitch plate A
which covers the end cross timbers H. The middle bar K consists of a timber
with a flitch plate on each side of it and a plate k above it, this plate having bolt
ends passing through washer plates L, through which also passes a longitudinal
bolt M under the middle bar. The bar K is secured to the cross bars E by angle
pieces J.
The bolt M may serve for hinging of flaps to it when the truck is to have an
opening bottom.
The timbers E and H are held firmly together by the bolts N. O. The flitch
plates A and B, the socket brackets C and the angle pieces J J, are preferably
inade of cast steel, the bolts and washer plates may be of steel or iron.
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 :-
An underframing for a railway truck having its timbers connected together without
tenon and mortise jointing, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

A, is the vessel for containing the oil or spirit, and can be filled up to the top or
nearly so through opening B, such opening being provided with screwed plug.
Outside this vessel A is provided another vessel Cinto which the gases pass and
thence through and out at the ends of the horizontal tube D.
I also provide a smaller vessel E for containing the wick and for receiving the
burner F. This vessel E is connected to the inner chamber A by tube G, through
which the supply of oil or spirit passes thereto, and in order to provide a passage for
the escape of the gases, I connect this small vessel E to the outer vessel C by means
of another tube H.
The lower part J is a support for the lamp, and may be of any convenient
construction, but preferably circular. This lower part is weighted at K, so that
should the lamp be upset the weighted part always comes to the bottom, and the small
vessel E containing the wick uppermost, and in this way the oil contained therein
immediately passes back into the inner vessel A. The supply of oil being thus taken
away from the wick the lamp immediately becomes extinguished, the danger of fire is
therefore averted and all explosions also, as the gases which would under ordinary
circumstances have collected in the inner vessel C, are set at liberty and pass off
through horizontal tube D.
In order that the whole of the oil contained in the vessel A may be utilized I
provide a hole L at or near where the spout joins onto the vessel, communicating
from the outer to the inner vessel, so that as soon as the oil has been used down to the
level of this opening L, internal pressure is obtained and the oil feed thus continued
to the wick until the stock of oil contained in the vessel A is exhausted, in a similar
manner to that described in the Specification of the Letters Patent granted to me
dated 7th May 1888 No. 6782.
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 general arrangement, construction and combination of the various parts forming
the oil or spirit lamp, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

bolted with the sliding bolt, and the covering put on, the handle is then turned
once or twice. The fine ashes and dust fall to the bottom of the bin, the cover is
then taken off, the sifter opened, lifted out and emptied, put back, and is again
ready for use.
The smaller size dustbins are intended for tenements, and districts where the
dust is cleared away once or twice a week. And the large size, where the dust is
only cleared away every fortnight or three weeks (therefore the use of the sliding
door).
I therefore claim my invention to be a great saving to the working people, as
well as the public at large, as it can be used by lodgers on landings of houses
without creating any dust, as well as in the open yard.
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. The most simple of all cinder sifters.
2. The most complete in its working.

An Improved Sash Fastener.
I FREDERICK ELI SMITH of 10, Queen Street Derby Cabinet Maker do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to those forms of sash fasteners with arms which are
pivoted and move vertically. In the drawings Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2, a vertical
section on of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 & 4 are details. The links A are pivoted to lugs
on the plate B which is attached to one rail and carry between thein at their other
end a pivoted thumb piece (
They also carry a pin D which engages the trigger E. This is shewn in Fig. 3, it
is pivoted on the pin e carried on the lugs F and is slotted as shewn so that a pin e¹
on the lugs F may prevent it from falling out of place. When the links A are
lowered as shewn in Fig. 1 & 2 the pin D takes under the trigger & the links cannot
be lifted unless the thumb picce Ċ is lifted so as to depress and disengage the
trigger E.
The trigger and the slot in it are formed as shewn so as to have this result. The
lug F has an inclined side Fig. 4, so as to draw together the rails when the links A &
their pin D is lowered, by this means draught is excluded. The swinging links A &c.
are so formed and balanced that they will not fall forward when placed in an upright
position, nor will they fall backwards & break the glass.
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 sash fastener substantially as herein described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings.

An Improvement in Made-up Neckties or Bows.
Year: 1890

An Improvement in Made-up Neckties or Bows.
I, FRANK WILLIAM MUGFORD, of the firm of R. M. Moody, of 21 Aldermanbury
in the City of London, 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:—
My invention relates to an improvement in made up neckties or bows to be worn,
with a false shirt front or dickey; and it has for its object to provide the bow of the
tie with a spring clip adapted to grip the overlapping edge of the dickey and to
thereby securely retain the bow or tie in position at the front of the neck of the
wearer.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein I have represented
in Figure 1 a front view, shewing the bow in position; in Figure 2 a top edge view
of the bow, the dickey being in section.; and in Figure 3 rear and edge views of the
clip separately. The same letters of reference denote like parts in all the figures.
The clip a is punched out of sheet inetal and bent or folded to a U form, a tongue
piece being partially punched out of one member so as to form a convex projection
on the inner face when the clip is bent to the final U-form, shewn in the edge view in
Figure 3. A corresponding aperture c is punched out of the other member of the
clip into which the convex projection & tends to force the fabric of the dickey so as to
obtain a firm grip of the latter, the clip by its elasticity readily accommodating itself
to any variation of thickness of the dickey. The clip is secured in a side wise position
to the back of the central or hody portion of the bow by its other member (which may
be provided with holes for the purpose) being stitched preferably within the band or
piece of fabric constituting such body portion, as shewn in Figure 1, so that the said
member being enveloped by the fabric the latter forms a rough covering for one half
of the clip which affords a better grip of the dickey than would the smooth metal and
assists to hold the bow in the correct horizontal position. It will be observed that the
clip lies in a horizontal position, its mouth being towards one side or in the direction
to slip directly on to the vertical overlapping edge of the dickey which opens at the
front, as usual. To facilitate the affixing of the bow to the dickey, the end of the
outer member is bent slightly backwards so as to present a flaring mouth, as shown.
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;
A bow or tie provided with a laterally-directed U-shaped clip having an inwardly
projecting tongue and corresponding cavity in its respective members adapted to grip
the overlapping edge of a dickey or false shirt front, as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION,
Improvements in Studs and Solitaires.
I, WILLIAM FORD, of 23, Loveday Street, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Gunmaker, 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 improved studs and solitaires, which
can be easily inserted in the clothing, shall give during any straining motion of the
body and prevent broken button holes.
My invention is carried into effect by making studs and solitaires with elastic
and pliant stems. The front and back discs or buttons are united by a pliant and
elastic fastening, such as a coiled spring, india-rubber band or other elastic
substance.
The construction of the studs and solitaires with elastic and pliant stems allows
the front disc or button to be passed through the button holes edgewise.
During any straining motion of the body the coiled spring, india-rubber or other
suitable elastic and pliant stem will stretch and bend, thus preventing broken
button holes.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Fig. I shews a stud partly in section on an enlarged scale with a coiled spring
freely attached to the front and back discs or buttons of the stud by the staples a
and b.
Fig. II shews a stud, on an enlarged scale partly in section, with an india-rubber
band passing freely through the staples c and d.
Fig. III shews a stud on an enlarged scale partly in section. A piece of india-
rubber or other suitable material is passed through the holes e and, the staple g
and the holes and i. This india-rubber serves to hold the stud together, and by
pulling the ends k and of the india-rubber the stud may be tightened. The
holes, e and fasten one end of the india-rubber and the holes h and the other
end in any desired positions.
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. The improved studs and solitaires having elastic and pliant stems for the
purposes set forth as described and illustrated.
2. The mode of adjusting the length of the stem of a stud or solitaire and
fastening the india-rubber or other suitable material used, as described and
illustrated in Fig. III.
