Improvements in Thimbles.
I, PAUL GABLER, of Schorndorf, Wurtemburg, in the Empire of Germany,
Thimble Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement;
This invention has for its object improvements in thimbles, and consists in a
peculiar method of fixing or fastening the bottom of the thimble on to the thimble
body, the bottom being made of any suitable material such as steel, glass crystal,
or the like. This fixing of the bottom is effected by the formation of a double
flange on the thimble body which engages over the edge of the bottom and serves
as holder for the latter whilst the inner lip of the flange may be solid or open.
In the accompanying drawings this improved method of fastening the bottom
is shown in Figs. 1 to G, Figs. 1 to 4, showing a solid inner lip on the flange,
and Figs. 5 and 6 an open or apertured inner lip on the same.
The body of the thimble A, Fig. 1, is bent over or flanged doubly at a a¹ in
the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and receives and holds firmly between the
lips a and a the edge of the bottom B, that is to say the flanges a and a¹ form a
socket or holder for the inserted bottom B.
The inner lip of the flange may be apertured or open as shown in Fig. 6,
or be solid like the bottom A in Fig. 4, the double flange a a¹ forming always
the essential novelty.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:.
-
A thimble in which the bottom (13) formed of suitable material such for in-
stance as glass, steel, crystal or the like, is held firmly at its edge (b) by means
of a double flange (a, a¹), substantially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in the Slides of Horizontal Boring Machines and Radial
Drilling Machines.
ROBERT LANG and WILLIAM BIGGAR LANG, of the Firm of John Lang & Sons,
Lathe Manufacturers and Special Machine Tool-makers, 15, Mary Street, John-
stone, near Glasgow, 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 means, by which the spindle slides
of horizontal boring machines and also of radial drilling machines
may be
guided so as to be less liable to twist, when being moved along in any direction.
Fig. 1 shows a front elevation of a vertical side with spindle slide on, and
an end section of the bed of an ordinary horizontal boring machine.
Fig. 2 shows a plan of the said vertical slide in section and an end view of
the slide which carries the spindle.
Referring to Fig. 1 A is the bed, B is the vertical slide which can be moved
along bed A. C is the spindle slide which can be moved up or down on vertical
slide. The usual manner of guiding this spindle slide is by having bearings
at D and c. At one side a wedge is placed to enable the operator to adjust
the fit of spindle slide on the vertical slide, and to take up any wear which may
result from being in general use. We have here taken away the edge bearing
at F, and put it at E, leaving only a bearing at F to keep the spindle slide on
its place. Thus the adjustment is now made between D and E instead of be-
tween D and F as before. It will be obvious that if we keep the vertical slide
as long as in usual practice, and make the adjustable part much less in breadth,
there will be much less possibility of twist on the spindle slide C, and hence a
much greater tendency to bore or drill holes square to the slides.
In a similar way the adjustment of vertical slide B for allowing it to be moved
along bed A is made between G and H instead of the usual way between G
and . The table for holding work is not shown on drawing.
Referring to Sheet 2. Figs. 3 and 4 show the application of the same ar-
rangement to radial drills. Jis the jib of a radial drill, K is the spindle slide.
The adjustment is made between L and M instead of between L and N as hitherto
made, again obviating as far as possible the twist on the slide K.
Having now described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and
in what manner it is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is:-
To provide a means heretofore described, by which the spindle slides of hori-
zontal boring machines and also of radial drilling machines may be guided,
so as to be less liable to twist, when being moved along in any direction.

I, AUGUST SACHSE, of 7, Cölnerstrasse, Hagen, in the Empire of Germany, Baker,
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 follow-
ing statement: -
This invention has reference to a trap for animals, which mainly, differs from
the arrangements of a similar kind hitherto in use, in the respect that it affords
a permanent guarantee for the catching of the animals in an absolutely certain
manner.
The annexed drawing shews the animal trap in a vertical section through the
middle in Figure 1; and in plan in Figure 2,
In the trap a flap d is suspended in equipoise by means of a central axis e
resting on the upper edges a of two opposite sides 6 of a vessel - which may
appropriately be filled with water-so that it always resumes its horizontal posi-
tion and closes the opening of the vessel.
It is evident that, if a suitable bait is arranged on this flap, and a mouse f
for instance, steps on to the flap in order to seize the bait, the flap will descend
by reason of the weight of the animal; so that, consequently, the animal f in
question must fall into the vessel; that is to say, into the water which may have
been placed there.
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:-
-
A trap for animals, comprising a flap d suspended in equipoise on a central
axis e on the upper edges a of a vessel c; the said flap, in its normal position,
closing the opening of the vessel, and being adapted to descend when an animal
steps upon it; substantially as set forth and illustrated.

Improvements in the Preparation of Coffee, Cocoa, and the like.
1, CHARLES HENRY WHITE, of 17, Fenchurch Street, in the City of London,
Wholesale Tea Dealer, 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 in mixing with pure ground coffee a certain quantity of
glusidum. As this latter is not soluble in its natural state it is first mixed with
å proportion of soda bicarbonate and water added in the proportion of one ounce of
water to 3 grains of each and the solution is then evaporated the result being a
product 500 times sweeter than sugar. This material is then ground with coffee
cocoa or the like or mixed with their extracts.
The resulting beverages can be enjoyed by the great and increasing number of
people who are forbidden by the medical profession to drink coffee cocoa or the
like sweetened with ordinary sugar.
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
The preparation of coffee cocoa and the like substantially as described.

Improvements in Flyers for Spinning and like Machines.
I, EDUARD LATSCHLA, of Jungholz, Alsace, in the Empire of Germany, Manu-
facturer, 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 the present invention is an improvement in flyers by which an
equal working of the latter is obtained and the vibration previously unavoidable
with quick working is prevented.
The hitherto used flyer is provided with two arms, the one solid, the other
hollow. The latter guides the thread. It carries at its end a pressure finger pro-
vided with a guide, guiding the thread to the bobbin. It is very difficult to centre
this flyer and as soon as it rotates a little faster than it did when being adjusted,
it will begin to vibrate.
The flyer made according to the present invention is also at its solid arm pro-
vided with a pressure finger lying on the spindle. The flyer being thus supported
at two sides will not even at the fastest rotation vibrate any more.
In the annexed drawing the invention is represented in Fig. 1 in front view,
Fig. 2 in section.
On a nave 1 two arms 2 and 3 are fixed formed as in the usual flyers. One of
them 2 is solid the other 3, hollow and widened flaringly towards the top in order
to guide the yarn. On each arm noses 4 are formed between which the hook like
bent end of the arms 5 and 6 engages. They are provided with a second hook
like shoulder embracing the arms and 3 of the flyer near their lower ends. The
ends of the arms 5, 6 are bent rectangularly so that the ends of bent parts slide
on the spindle. The bent part on the hollow arm 3 of the flyer has near its inner
end a perforation or recess 7 for receiving the yard in order to guide the same.
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:-
-
A flyer wherein both the hollow arm and also the solid arm have pressure fingers
for the purpose to prevent the vibration of the flyer when rotating quickly.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Hinge Leaves.
I, LUDOWIC ANTONY, Senior, of 5, Obere-Waldzeile, Gölniczbanya, in the
Kingdom of Hungary, 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 comprises a new process for the manufacture of hinge leaves
and is illustrated by the accompanying drawing. By this process I effect a
substantial simplification of manufacture, while the hinges are not only made
better but also because of the great saving in labour, materially cheaper.
I first stamp out of sheet iron a square piece a with the extension and the
holes as shown in Fig. 1. The first part bis then bent into the shape of a socket.d
as shown in Fig. 2, the circumference of d being equal to the width of the
part b. The socket is thus a little longer or deeper than the flat part a¹ and
serves to receive the hinge pin e, Fig. 3, while the flat part a¹ serves for fixing.
The hinge pine is made of a piece of round iron which is pressed into swages
so as to be formed at one end with several annular grooves f; this end forms
the head of the hinge pin. The smooth part of the hinge pin is now entered
in the socket d so far that about two ring grooves f are covered by the socket
prolongation d' whereupon the latter as shown in the elevation Fig. 4 and the
part section Fig. 5 is swaged into the grooves f, so that the pin is fixed while its
head g receives a neat shape. The hinge piece is now ready for use.
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. Process for the manufacture of hinge pieces consisting therein that the pin e
made of plain round iron by swaging is formed with several annular grooves f
Fig. 3 while the hinge pin socket d on the flat leaf part a', Fig. 2, is so formed out
of a stamped out piece of sheet iron a with the extension b, that the latter forms
a continuation d' beyond the leaf which part d' after the pin e has been inserted
in the socket d is swaged into the grooves and thus not only fixes the pin in the
socket d but also forms a neat head g thereon.
2. The form of hinge piece shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

Improvements in Mechanism for Operating the Rotary Knot Catchers
or Strainers used in the Manufacture of Paper.
I, HERMANN FINCKIT, of 68, Kaiserstrasse, Würtemberg, in the Empire of
Germany, Factory Owner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement;-
In order to ensure the proper working of the rotary knot catcher for clearing
paper pulp in the manufacture of paper, is necessary to impart to the sorting
cylinder in addition to its rotary motion also a shogging motion with a view of
preventing the knots lodging in the outlet slots and thus interrupt the flow
of the paper pulp.
Now this invention provides a gear for driving the rotary knot catcher and
imparting to the sorting cylinder a rotary motion while at the same time causing
it to be alternately raised and lowered through the intervention of cams or step
wheels.
In the accompanying drawings;
Figure 1 shows the rotary knot catcher in end-elevation, and
Figure 2 shows a horizontal section of a portion of the same.
The sorting cylinder a is supported in the usual manner at its ends by bracket
arms which at one end are hinged to the frame whilst the other end is adapted
to be raised and lowered through the action of cam or step wheels e, mounted
on the shaft d.
In connection with this known construction the improved arrangement is to
effect the rotation of the sorting cylinder by the up and down motion of the
hinged bracket-arms. To this end claws e, pivotally connected to a short arm f
rigidly connected to the bracket arms b. is so arranged as to grip the flanged
edge of a disc g located at the cylinder ends.
The rigid arm f participates in the movements of the bracket arms band causes
the claws e to grip the ring g. According to whether the rigid arm is disposed
at the fixed or at the free end of the bracket arms it will obviously during the
raising and lowering movement of the bracket arm be caused either to approach
or to retire from the ring g. This will cause the movable claw e to exercise either
a pushing or a drawing action upon the ring g and thus rotate the cylinder.
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:-
An operating gear for a rotary knot catcher, characterized by claws pivotted
to the rocking bracket arms of the sorting cylinder, and which claws are adapted
to grip onto rings provided at the cylinder ends.

Improvements in and relating to Rail Joints.
I, CARL PIATSCHECK, Junior, of 1a, Kleine Bahnhofstrasse, Bielefeld, 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:―
This invention relates to rail joints for railways and consists in providing in
a simple and efficient manner additional support for that part of the rail joint
intermediate of the joint sleepers, whereby much less wear and tear of the of rail
heads is occasioned and the so called "slipping of the rails" prevented.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figures 2 and 3 are respectively side elevation, cross sectional elevation and
plan of a rail joint with support made in accordance with the invention.
In carrying the invention into effect instead of using two bed plates as is
usual in making a rail joint one continuous plate only is used provided at its
ends upon the under face with angle irons & which are let into the sleepers as
shown in Figure 1. A short additional sleeper or block is inserted between
the joint sleepers underneath the plate. so as to form a support for the rail
ends or that part of the joint which is usually suspended. It may be spliced or
morticed into the sleepers if desired, and like the sleepers may be packed under-
neath. The fish-plates are secured to the sleepers and block c by screws d which
pass through the fish-plates and the underplate a.
A rail joint made as above described forms in itself a connecting yoke which
directly supports the interval between the rails, prevents the so called "slipping
of the rails" and produces a more secure bed. Further much less wear and tear
of the rail heads and fish plates is occasioned and the work required for packing
is considerably diminished.
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.) A rail-joint provided with a continuous bed plate such as a overlapping
both joint sleepers and furnished with angle irons such as b and supported by a
block such as placed intermediate of the sleepers as herein before described.
2.) A rail joint substantially as herein before described and illustrated.

Improvements in the Treatment of Materials for Fireproof and
Preservative Purposes.
A communication from ALWIN NIESKE, of Chemische Fabrik Altherzberg,
Dresden, Saxony, in the Empue of Germany
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, 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 as-
certained in and by the following statement..
For a considerable time past metal salts have been used for the purpose of
rendering organic material fireproof, but either the material so treated is in-
jured by the salts, or conditions arise which either greatly lessen the desired
effect, or altogether render it ineffective.
After long continued experiments it has been found that the salts of molybde-
num, and especially molybdate of sodium, when used as an impregnating medium
for fireproofing purposes, 18 absolutely free from the drawbacks attaching to
other means
Textile fabrics, cloth, feathers, in short organic materials generally are
lendered fireproof by treating them with say a 10% solution of molybdate of
sodium.
But there is still another great advantage resulting from such treatment, since
it acts as a much more effective preservative against decay and other destroying in-
fluences than tar-oils sublimates, zinc and like means which are usually employed
for that purpose
Valuable documents, manuscripts, drawings and the like are
not only rendered safe against all kinds of destructive influences by painting
them over or treating them with the above solution, but the latter will arrest
any further decay from such causes, however great the harm already done
may be
Moreover, the cost of material and treatment 18 small, a small quantity of
sodium molybdate serving for the treatment of a large quantity of material,
considering its low molecular weight (95°).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, 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;-
1. The treatment of organic materials for fireproof and preservative purposes
by the application of molybdenum salts substantially as described.
2. The use of a solution of molybdate of sodium for preserving and rendering
organic materials fireproof substantially as described.

High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank
Street, Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and Lower Temple Street,
Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Chartered Patent Agent, 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:
The present invention relates to a process for deodorising and deflavouring cer-
tain phenolic bodies such as wood creosote, guaiacol, mixture of creosote and
tannin, mixture of guaiacol and tannin, and so forth, and consists essentially in
reacting upon these substances or mixtures by means of methylic aldehyde as
hereinafter set forth.
The bodies above mentioned are used in the treatment of tuberculosis, but
their flavour renders them difficult of application. Their flavour and their odour
are completely removed after treatment with methylic aldehyde in the manner
set forth, namely:
1. For the treatment of wood creosote the inventor prefers to take :-
Wood creosote
Matkulia aldehyde of 100/
1,000 parts
800 merta

page_text: tolerably rapidly. A resinous mass is obtained which is crushed and washed
with boiling water.
A brownish powder is thus obtained having neither tasto nor smell.
If in the foregoing formulae the wood creosote be replaced by guaiacol the
reaction is assisted by heating in a water bath. There is then obtained a yellowish
resin having neither smell nor taste.
The foregoing bodies thus produced are capable of employment as antiseptics.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is;-
-
1. Process for deodorising and deflavouring phenolic compounds such as wood
creosote, guaiacol, tannin and creosote, guaiacol and tannin and so forth by treat-
ment with methylic alcohol, substantially as set forth.
2. Treating wood creosote and like compounds by methylic alcohol and hydro-
chloric acid, substantially as and in the proportions and for the purpose herein-
before set forth.
3. The improved solid precipitated resinous phenolic compounds free from
taste or smell, substantially as described.

A New or Improved Fastening Device.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 2nd Oct., 1899-Accepted, 16th Dec., 1899
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Fastening Device.
I, CHRISTIAN MARQUARD VON DER WEHL, of Olderup, near Husum, Holstein,
in the Empire of Germany, Teacher and Organist, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be parti-
cularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
This invention relates to a new or improved "buckle" or fastening device
which is especially applicable for the attachment of guard ribbons or cords to
hats and similar articles.
According to this invention a bent wire pin is employed the ends of which
are secured against being drawn out by a spring covering plate. The drawing
shows one example of the fastening device on a somewhat large scale, Figure 1
being a longitudinal section of the fastening applied to the rim of a hat;
Figure 2 a plan view of the same, in its unfastened condition; Figure 3 a
longitudinal section; and Figure 4 a plan view in its fastened condition.
As shewn in Figure 1, a U-shaped pin a preferably of not too hard a material
serves the means of fastening, its ends easily penetrating the cord or ribbon
which has to be attached and also the brim c of the hat or other similar article.
The ends of the U-shaped pin a projecting from the hat brim c (as shewn by
dotted lines in Figure 1) pass through holes in a plate d, which is provided with
longitudinal troughs or hollows e, which are suitably made to die away towards
their outer ends and permit of the bent-over ends of the pin a being laid in
them.
A covering strip g is attached to the plate d by the stud or rivet f or other-
wise at about the middle of its length so that the said strip 9 may be turned in
such a way that when placed as seen in Figures 1 and 2 of the pin may be
inserted or withdrawn, but when turned parallel to the plate d (Figures 3 and 4)
the bent over ends of the pin a are covered in such a manner that they cannot
of themselves get out of place.
If, however, the ribbon or cord 6 is required to be taken off for any reason,
this can be done with ease after turning the strip into the position shewn in
Figures 1 and 2 and lifting up the ends of the pin a as shewn by dotted lines
in Figure 1.
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:-
A fastening device which consists of a perforated and grooved plate d with a
covering strip g adapted to turn thereon, and a U-shaped pin a, the whole com-
bined arranged, and operating substantially as described with reference to the
drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Incandescence Gas Burners.
I, AUGUST BACHMEYER, of No. 78, York Street, Westminster, in the County
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:-
My invention relates to a construction of burner whereby I obtain an intimate
mixture of air and gas in suitable proportions to produce a flame of great heating
power especially adapted for heating to incandescence a refractory mantle for
the purpose of producing brilliant light.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is a vertical section of burner accord-
ing to this invention. Figure 2 is an elevation.
a is the inlet for gas which issues in one or more jets directed upwards b are
the air inlets is the mixing tube tapering to a smaller diameter to the neck d,
whence ascends a tube e tapering to a larger diameter at the mouth which is of
annular form surrounding a metallic conducting core f. Into this core is screwed
the stem of a cap which fixes on the mouth of the tube e an annular disc h of
wire gauze or perforated metal, or it may be a disc having its circumference
serrated like a toothed wheel, the mixed gas and air issuing in jets through the
intervals between the teeth.
I find practically that the annular area at the top of the conical tube e should
be about double the circular area at the neck d.
It is desirable to make the height between the gas inlet a and the base of the
tube c adjustable to suit various pressures of gas and also to make the height of
the core in the tube e adjustable. I therefore enclose the burner within a
tubular casing k to which the tubes c and è are attached this casing being fitted
to slide in the socket 7 of the base and in the socket m of the upper part. The
casing may have perforations at its lower and upper part through which air can
circulate as indicated by the arrows, this air being heated before it ascends to the
space surrounding the flame.
k
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: :-
'
An incandescence gas burner constructed and operating substantially as
described with reference to the drawing.

Improvements in Gas Governors.
Year: 1899

page_text: Date of Application, 5th May, 1899-Accepted, 22nd July, 1899
Improvements in Gas Governors.
I, JOHN GOODSON, Gas Engineer, of 13, Maze Pond, S.E., in the County 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:-
This invention for improvements in gas governors relates to that class of
governor which is usually connected directly to the burner and in which the
opening of a supply valve or passage is regulated by means of a floating
diaphragm.
The accompanying drawing is a vertical section of a governor constructed
according to this invention and suitable for an ordinary burner.
e
A casing a is provided with screw threaded socket 6 for connecting it to the
gas supply pipe, and with a bored cylindrical chamber e in which works a floating
diaphragm d having a central tube a working freely in a guide diaphragm f fitting
into the upper part of the chamber and being surmounted by a cap having
perforations for the passage of the gas to the burner. The gas supply passes
through inlet orifice i in diaphragm & into chamber e and thence through perfora-
tion, tube e, chamber and perforations to the burner. A gauze wire dia-
phragm m is stretched across the lower part of the chamber c and is firmly
secured by a spring ring n. So long as the supply pressure remains normal the
float d remains in its lowermost position admitting a full supply of gas to the
burner, but should this pressure be increased it acts on the underside of the
float d and raises it, thereby causing the upper orifice of the tube e to approach
the recess o in the cap g in the chamber and throttle the supply until the pressure
is reduced to the normal, the rate of gas consumption being determined by the
diameter of the tube e or its inlet orifice as will be readily understood.
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:
A gas governor in which the supply is regulated by means of a floating dia-
phragm, the whole arranged and constructed substantially as described and shown
in the drawing.

An Improved Tree for Boots and Shoes.
I, BOLTON PROW HARDCASTLE, of 136, Limestone Road, Belfast, in the County
of Antrim, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved tree for boots and shoes, and has for
object to provide a tree which shall readily adapt itself to the conformation of
different shapes of boots and shoes, and which shall furthermore be capable of
exerting any desired amount of pressure upon the inside of a boot or shoe in such
a way as to restore to a mishapen boot or shoe, its proper and normal shape,
such last also being readily reduced into a small compass for transport or similar
purposes.
'
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1, is an elevational view of a boot-tree constructed in accordance with my
invention, and,
Fig. 2, a view thereof partly in section.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I fashion the improved tree of
india-rubber or other yielding material of approximately the shape of the ordinary
wooden boot or shoe tree, such yielding tree being furthermore of hollow con-
struction.
A suitable inflating valve 6 is provided in the upper part of the said tree a,
for inflating and deflating purposes.
The improved tree constructed in accordance with the above description, is
inserted into a boot or shoe, while such tree is in its deflated or collapsed con-
dition, and it is then inflated to the desired extent by means of an inflating pump
or its equivalent in the ordinary manner.
For packing and storage purposes, the collapsible tree is deflated, whereupon it
can be folded or otherwise reduced to a very small compass
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:-
The improved boot and shoe tree, consisting in forming such tree of hollow
construction and of india-rubber or similar yielding and elastic material, said
collapsible tree being provided with a valve in its upper part for inflating and
deflating purposes, all substantially as and for the purpose described and as
illustrated by the drawings.
