Brooch Tong.
FREDRICK HOPEFUL WEIGHT 70, Little King Street Hockley Birmingham
Toolmaker and Jewellers Material 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 is a spring back tong or pin for brooches, the joint or small tube
which forms a portion of the small hinge by which a tong or pin is attached to a
brooch, is in my invention made all in one piece, thereby avoiding bursted joints.
Figure No. in drawings, is intended to shew, the said joint in its early stage of
construction, this joint is made out of thin narrow strips of sheet metal, gold
silver &c. and is made into the requisite shape, by being drawn through a similar
shaped hole in a steel plate, the joint of course comes out of the plate in long strips
representing a small tube, with a flat lip attached, it is this lip, which when the
pin or tong is secured to the brooch bears upon the front part of the complete joint,
causes the pin or tong immediately it is released from the catch to spring back,
hence the expression spring back tong.
Figure No. 2 represents the joint or tube closed & ready to be soldered to the
pin or tong
Figure No. 3 illustrates the article complete thus it will be seen that the one
soldering is all that is required, thereby considerably reducing the cost of
production.
Having now particularly described and ascertained, the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what I
claim is
(1st.) The brooch tong joint is all in one piece.
(2nd.) The joint of the tong is not soldered previous to being attached to the
stem or pin.
(3rd.) The brooch tong can be made cheaper than any at present in the
market.

Improvements in Outters for Producing Mouldings in Wood Working
Machines.
KARL GUSTAV BRASS, of 44 Oggersheimerstrasse, Ludwigshafen, in the German
Empire, 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 cutters for producing mouldings in wood working
machines, and its objects are to prevent the splitting of the wood which is being
worked, and to reduce the risk of accidents.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in
which
Figure 1 is a vertical section, and Figure 2 a plan.
That part of the vertical section to the left of Figure 1 is taken along the
line A-B, and that to the left along the line C-D, Figure 2.
According to this invention, I use knives having the profile of the required
moulding, and secure them in a ring c on the cutter head with a corresponding
profile, beyond which the edge of the knife projects only to the thickness of the
shaving to be removed by it. For each different moulding, different knives e, and
rings c are used.
In the drawings, a is the cutter spindle; the cutter head; c the profile ring;
d slots in which the cutting knives are secured; e e¹ the knives; fa cap in the
lower surface of which slots are formed for the knives; and g a nut by means of
which the knives and ring c are secured to the cutter head.
However firmly the wood may be pressed against the cutter, it will be impossible
to cause the knives to dig into or split the wood or to take a shaving thicker than
that for which the knives are set.
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. A cutter for use in wood working machines, constructed and arranged sub-
stantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described, and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
2. In.a cutter-head for wood-working machines, the combination with the head
of a profiled knife or knives and a correspondingly profiled ring, constructed and
arranged substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the drawings.

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 ring made of bone, ivory, vegetable ivory, vulcanite, or india rubber, which
has the edges ribbed or corrugated, see letter a on drawings.
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 :-
That the ribbed edges will be a real assistance in bringing the teeth through.
It is a common practise for mothers to rub their children's gums with a piece of
loaf sugar, the rough surface of the sugar bringing the teeth thro', and we claim
that this ring will answer the same purpose, and that if given to the child, it will
naturally and gently assist the teeth by its own accord. The novelty we claim is,
that the ring has roughened edges instead of smooth, as are at present sold.

Improvements in Knives for Pug Mills.
I PAUL EMIL SCHÄFER of Grunstr 1, Remscheid, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 construct knives for cutting and pugging clay
by the dry process, with removeable blades or cutters so that when worn out, new
blades may be substituted thus saving the expense of entirely new knives and
the time involved in fitting the same on the shaft or roller as has hitherto
been the case.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 shews a side view of a clay knife fitted with removeable blades, and
Figure 2 is an elevation of same taken at right angles to Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, but with the blades removed;
Figure 4 is a plan of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is an underside view of one of the blades detached; and
Figure 6 is a plan of Figure 1.
On the boss c two arms a and b are formed, or they may be rigidly attached to
the boss in any suitable manner. These arms a and b are arranged spirally around
the boss cas shewn in Figure 4, and are furnished with pin or rivet holes g which
correspond in position, shape, and size, with similar holes in the blades e and f.
The blades e and fare also of a spiral form, and the apertures d therein
respectively correspond in shape and size with the cross section of the arms a and
(see Figures 4 and 5). The blades e and fare firmly secured to the arms a and b
by the pins or rivets g and h. When the knife is rotated, the clay is, by the
spirally arranged blades, pressed or kneaded and cut.
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 knife for cutting and pugging clay consisting of a frame having arms, and
blades or cutters to be attached to said arms by pins and slots, rivets or other
equivalent means for removably securing the said blades or cutters to the said
arms substantially as described and shewn.

An Improved Box or Case for Cigars, Cigarettes, Matches, and
the like.
I, LOUIS LEON TISSIER, of 56, Rue St. Sabin, Paris, in the Republic of France,
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 improved construction of box or case for cigars,
cigarettes and the like, whereby the mechanism which raises the cover or lid of the
box or case causes the contents of the box to be raised above the top of the body
of the box so that they can be easily removed therefrom.
In order to enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe the same
by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved box or case in its open position
shewing the contents thereof raised above the upper part of the body of the box.
Figures 2, 3 and 4 are sectional views of the improved box or case.
My improved box or case comprises a metal box a divided to receive matches on
one side and cigars or cigarettes on the other side. The bottom of the box is
suitably roughened to form a friction surface for striking the matches.
is the cover of the box which is normally kept closed by means of a suitable
spring on the hinge pin. Within the box is a partition chaving a bottom d, the
partition dividing the box into two compartments e and for respectively receiving
matches and cigars as above stated. is a horizontal plate forming the bottom of
the match compartment c. The parts c, d, y are connected together and the
partition c is formed with a flange h connected to a knob i, the shank of which
passes through a slot j in the box or case. k is a groove for guiding the partition c
in its upward and downward movements.
From this construction it will be seen that when it is desired to open the box it
is only necessary to push up the kuobi and the partition c moving with it will raise
the lid and the articles will be brought above the level of the upper part of the
box, as shewn in Figure 1, and the parts will be kept in this position by the
pressure of the lid on the partition c.
To close the box it is only necessary to push the knob i down to the bottom
of the slot j.
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 improved box or case for cigars, cigarettes, matches or the like arranged

WALLACE MCGUFFIN GREAVES of 6^ Fountain Street, Manchester 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 is essentially a contrivance for the automatically increasing and
decreasing a current of air and steam injected into a furnace on the opening and
shutting of the furnace door.
Fig. 1. represents half of the front of a boiler and furnace.
Fig. 2. shows in section on a larger scale the tap L with its plugs and keys.
A steam pipe C communicates with the boiler at A. Bis tap worked by hand
to open and shut off steam current in C as desired. D is union. L is tap which is
made and fitted so as never to be entirely closed. The plug F of tap L'is worked
by key E. The handle F¹ of key E is also worked by key E' and the plug F' of
E is attached to and moves with spindle H of furnace door.
The pipe C leads through cup J into furnace. J is open to the air, and a current
of air is drawn into furnace as shown by arrows larger or smaller as the inducing
steam current is increased or diminished. The keys E & E' do not fit closely to
their respective plugs F & F but each key has a certain degree of movement before
the corresponding plug is moved.
When the furnace door is opened the key E' after a time moves plug F' and
key E and this after a time moves plug F & tap L so that a larger volume of steam
passes through pipe C to furnace. When the furnace door is closed the reverse
action takes place.
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 contrivance for automatically increasing and diminishing an injecting current
into a furnace on the opening and shutting of the furnace door by means of an
imperfect tap on the steam pipe operated by the furnace door through keys and
plugs substantially as described and shown.

Improvements in Saddle Trees.
I, JOSEPH NORTON BARNSBY of 135 & 136 Lichfield Street, Walsall, in the
County of Stafford, Brown Saddler, 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, reference being had to the accompany-
ing drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon :-
These improvements consist in forming the head part, and the bars and cantel
which form the body part of saddle trees, of steel, the metal of each portion being
formed of a curved section. By this means great lightness and at the same time
great strength is given to the saddle tree. By thus forming the head part of the
tree no rivets are required in this head or gullet part, so that the full strength of
that portion is retained, and will prevent it giving way or breaking, which is the
general fault in ordinary trees. And the bar parts and cantel being formed of a
a similar character of section, but having the hollow of the curve underneath
instead of above, great strength is given to these portions of the tree, and its
liability to being "cast or thrown out of shape in the making up of the saddle
is obviated.
"2
Referring to the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a view of a saddle tree constructed according to this my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of the gullet or head piece. Fig. 3 another form of
section of the same. And Fig. 4 a section of the cantle and bars.
(a) is the head piece or gullet forming the hollow (b) into which when making
up the saddle a sufficient bed of leather may be inserted to make it unnecessary to
have any rivet holes through that portion of the gullet. The bars (c) and the
cantle (d) are formed of the section shown in Fig. 4.
I do not confine myself to the exact sectional form of any of the parts; I may
for instance in some cases form the head or gullet piece as shown in Fig. 3. I
may in some instances apply a curved section to only the head piece or gullet
leaving either or both of the other parts of a flat section. Or I may apply the
curved section to either the gullet or the cantle for saddles where the side pieces
or bars are made of wood.
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 :
Constructing the head piece or gullet, and the bars and cantle, which form the
body part of saddle trees, of steel, in a curved section, substantially as herein set
forth and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

the player is drawing in his breath preparatory to blowing the dart through the
tube, the object being to prevent the recurrence of the fatal & other accidents
arising from the use of the ordinary blowpipe as sold by toy dealers.
By preference the end of the tube should not reach the shoulder or contraction
in the mouthpiece nearer than one eighth of an inch.
Although wood is mentioned as the material of which the mouthpiece is
constructed any suitable substance may be used or the end of the pipe itself may
be turned sharply inwards or a ring may be inserted to contract the area of the
opening as shewn in Figures II & III.
What I claim as my invention of an improvement in the apparatus used in the
game of "Puff & Dart is
""
The novelty of contracting the entrance to the mouth-piece of the blowpipe

of the pipe itself by turning the end of the pipe inwards or by inserting a collar
or ring into the end of the pipe.

An Improved Photographic Camera.
I, AUGUSTE ALEXANDRE DEHORS, of 8, Rue des Haudriettes, Paris, France,
Merchant, 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 spring folding photographic camera
capable of being collapsed within such small dimensions as to admit of its being
carried in the pocket. It may be provided with any suitable lens and shutter and
is used at a fixed focus.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this
Specification, wherein
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the camera, in its expanded form, with the
dark slide partly drawn out, and shewing three of the spring toggle joints, and
Figure 2 is a similar view of the camera collapsed.
The same letters of reference denote like parts in both figures.
The camera is constructed as shewn in the manner of a Gibus" hat, the front
and back be being connected together by means of toggle-jointed links a a to
which springs e are attached so as to retain the toggle joints either in the folded
position, Figure 2, or in the expanded position, Figure 1. d is a black cloth
covering enclosing the springs and forming the collapsible part of the camera body
and which is distended by the toggle joints, there being a cloth covering within and
without the said joints.
It is preferred to use spiral springs, as shewn in the drawings, although it will be
evident that other forms of spring may be used and that the form of the camera
may be varied from that shewn.
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 photographic camera having its front and back connected by toggle jointed
links actuated by springs and covered with flexible material so as to be capable of
collapsing and of expanding and at same time bringing the lens to its focal position,
as specified.

Improvements in Eye Baths.
We, GEORGE STEPHEN WOOLLEY, HIRMANN WOOLLEY, CHARLES ANDREW
JOHNSTONE, and EDWARD JAMES WOOLLEY, trading as James Woolley, Sons and
Co., of Victoria Bridge Street Salford, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical Chemists, 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 eye baths, or vessels that are used for the purpose of
bathing the eye with lotion or like fluid when under treatment for any optical com-
plaint. The object of this invention is to retain the lotion within the limit of the
orbital edge of the eye, so as to prevent the fluid causing injury to the face or
clothes by being spilt over the sides or edges of the bath.
We attain this object by the means hereinafter described, and as represented in
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1. is a plan view, Fig. 2, a side
view and Fig. 3, a vertical section of an eye bath constructed according to this
invention.
In eye baths that have been hitherto constructed, the upper edges of said baths
have not been formed in a manner so as to fit the orbital edge of the eye, with the
result that when in use, the lotion or fluid used for bathing the eye, escapes freely
over the edges at either end, with injurious effect to the face and clothes.
In this invention we form the upper edges a¹ of the bath a of a form as shown on
the drawings, with one end elongated and raised to a greater extent than the
opposite end, and said edges curved so as to fit perfectly the orbital edge of the eye,
and by these means the lotion or fluid is retained within the region required for
use, while permitting the well hole b, to be of larger diameter than in eye baths of
the ordinary construction.
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 :-
In an eye bath or vessel for containing lotion or like fluid that is employed for
the purpose of bathing the eye, when under treatment for any optical complaint, the
construction of the upper edges of said bath or vessel so as to fit the orbital edge
of the eye, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as hereinbefore
described.

to keep the serrations clear of filings, thereby rendering the cut more effective and
the tool more durable. The hollows may be in the form of grooves running
transversely or diagonally across either face or both faces of the tool, or they may
The hollows or
be countersunk holes, or holes passing quite through the metal.
holes form pockets in which filings collect during the cut and from which they are
discharged during the back stroke, thus preventing the clogging of the serrations.

An Improved Method of rendering Leather used for the Outer Soles
of Boots and Shoes Flexible or Pliable.
1 HARRY ENGLAND HOWE of the firm of Major Howe & Co. of Campbell
Street Northampton in the County of Northampton Boot and Shoe Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved method of rendering
leather used for outer soles of boots and shoes (particularly applicable to athletic,
nautical travelling or other like purposes) flexible and pliable.
In carrying out my invention I first cut out proper lengths of leather, larger than
are required for the ordinary size of boots and shoes. I then soak the same in warm
water. Having been immersed for a sufficient length of time the grain of the
leather is then scraped or buffed so as to make a regular surface.
The leather is then placed within an ordinary iron guage arranged of nearly the
ordinary size of the sole of a boot or shoe so as to compel the sole to be considerably
reduced in size. I then place the sole leather under an iron roller of uneven surface
attached to an ordinary machine so that it can be worked backwards and forwards
across the face of the leather and the pressure being increased gradually it is
able to reduce and indent or corrugate the leather to the proper size of the sole
required.
The leather is then properly dried in an heated room and when dried, it is dressed
on the grain side with warm oil. After the oil has been absorbed the leather is
then dressed with a solution of indiarubber to complete the process of making the
leather exceedingly pliable or flexible.
After this process the face of the grain side of the leather is finished off by
boneing the corrugations to give the face of the leather a more perfect shape.
The soles are then attached to the uppers of boots and shoes in any well known
way.
By my invention leather soles used for athletic, nautical travelling and other
like purposes become pliable and flexible similar to an indiarubber sole and will
prevent slipping and is far superior to all leather or other soles used in the
manufacture of boots and shoes.
For the purpose of more fully explaining the nature of my invention I attach a
drawing shewing the leather sole to be used in the manufacture of boots and shoes
as hereinbefore described.
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 method of rendering leather for the outer soles of boots and shoes flexible
and pliable and in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
