I, BERNHARD SCHLAG, of Wenigenjena, near Jena, Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach,.
Gerinany, 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 locks for doors such as mortice or rim locks, and.
reference is made to the accompanying drawing showing the parts of a lock,
principally in elevation, with the outer plate removed. The bolt is indicated by R,
the lateb spindle and handle by D, and the key (in section) by S. The key S is.
adapted to so connect the bolt R with the latch spindle D, through the intervention
of the collar d (surrounding the latch spindle) and dovetail slot i therein, that a
movement of the latch spindle will throw the bolt R back to open the door. The
pin of the key S is also of a dovetail form to fit into the slot i, and the projecting
bit of the key fits into the recess of the lock R. The key is removable and has
a shank like other keys, but the keyhole must have a special shape to allow the
required movement.
I sometimes make the bolt R continuous, that is, without the recess 7, but with.
a projection, in which case the spindle and handle must be placed lower than is.
shown.
By moving the latch spindle and handle D when the key S is in place the
tumbler Z is lifted to clear the pin T, and permit the movement inwards of the
bolt R by the movement of the latch D. A projection d' of the collar d bears.
against a spring f to keep it in its normal position, and stops a, a, limit its movement.

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
The herein described lock in which the bit of a key S is placed between the
bolt R and a collar d of the latch spindle D, and engages therewith whereby the
bolt R is withdrawn on a suitable movement of the handle and latch spindle D
substantially as shown in the drawings.

EGLEN TAYLOR 84 Edward Street Parade Birmingham, Wood Turner do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved method of making and attaching finger plate buttons to finger
plates.
Wood finger plate buttons are usually made with a screwed stud at the back,
and attached by being screwed into a tapped hole in the plate, but on account of
the shrinkage of wood, this method is unsatisfactory as they get loose and
fall out.
To prevent this, 1 dispense with the screwed stud and make the button with a
countersunk recess at the back into which I firmly secure a metal disc having a
tapped hole in its centre, made to fit a screwed metal peg, which is passed througli
a hole in the plate from the back, the button is then screwed on to it and so fixed,
and the connecting parts being metal, all shrinkage is obviated.

An Improved Method of Preparing Sale Packages or Boxes of Blue.
I, ADOLPH DAVISSON of 113, Donore Terrace, South Circular Road, Dublin
Manufacturer of Laundry Blues, 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 method of preparing for sale packages or boxes of blue
for cleansing purposes.
The object of the invention is to combine along with the blocks of blue in the
box a necessary article used in connection with the blue so that what is required
for this purpose in washing will be contained in one receptacle. The box is divided
up into a suitable number of sections or compartments in each of which is placed
a block of blue, with the exception of one compartment. This is used to hold a
small bag suitable for use with the blue, a quantity of which is placed in it, when
to be dissolved in the water in the usual manner.
The box will thus contain a combination of a set of blues, and a bag suitable for
use with them the two being sold in one article.
The accompanying drawing illustrates a box containing the blues and bag in
their respective compartments. A is the box divided by the partitions a into four
compartments, the lid a¹ being shown open. In three of the compartments are
placed the blocks B of blue, the bag C of suitable size and material being placed
in the fourth. Instead of placing the bag in one of the compartments, it can be
placed over them.
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 box or package containing the combination of or set of blues, and a bag of
suitable size and material for use with the blues substantially as and for the
purposes specified.
2. A box divided into a number of compartments in which blues are placed and
one of which contains a bag of suitable size and material for use with the said
blues, substantially as described and for the purposes specified.

I, ALFRED WILKEN, of 8 Weide, Bremen, in the Empire of Germany,
Physician, 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 invention 18 a securer for neck-tie pins, which lenders the
losing of the pin impossible
The invention is represented by the accompanying drawings, as follows:
Fig.
1 the secure seen from the front,
Fig. 2 a side view of the same with a neck-tie pin,
Fig 3 a back view with a pin,
Fig. 4 shows a top view and
Fig. 5 a section after Fig. 3
All figures are drawn on a magnified scale, while Figs. 6 and 7 represent a flout
and side view of the secun er for neck-tie pins in natural size.
The securer for neck-tie pins consists of a shell (a), which is beut to a right angle
at the lower end A sping (b) as fastened below to the front side of the shell (a)
by means of a rivet (c) or in another suitable manner. This spring is bent as
Fig. 2 shows and passes through a shit of the shell. An angular bent piece (ƒ),
provided with a slit (e), is fastened above the spring (6). By removing the
piece (1) out of the position shown in Fig. 2 into the one shown in Fig 7, the bent
part pushes against the shell (a) and lifts the spring (b) slightly The part of the
spring (6), passing through the shit (d), as well as the bent piece (g) of the shell (a),
are provided with perforations (h) resp (2) In order to be able to use one and
the same securer for pins of different sizes, perforations of different diameter have
been made
In order to fasten the securer to the pin, the same is shoved to the furrowed part
after the pin has been stuck into the neck-tie, so that the pin passes though two
holes, (4) and (2) one above the other.
the
By tuining the piece (f) downwards, the spung (b) is drawn out and the pin 18
pressed and pinched to the back side of the shell (a). In order to prevent the
piece () from sliding upwards without drawing the pin in the right manuel,
shell has been provided with incisions and the stamped piece (k) is bent vertically
to the shell. The one part of the piece () presses against these pieces (*), while
turned into the position, shown in Fig. 7.
As the holes (2) in the part (g) of the shell do not dnectly join the shell, the pin
adopts an oblique position, when the spring (6) is diawn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
ton, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim 18,
Secures for neck-tie pins, marked by two holes in a fixed and in a moveable
piece, one above the other and belonging together, through which the pin to be
secured is stuck after which the part of the pin passing through the moveable hole
is pressed by a stretching rangement against a fixed plate pinching the pin fast,
so that the same is prevented from falling out
