ereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
erformed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
tatement:-
This invention has for obiect the making up of Books with
c, a gumimed guard.
Any number of these series can be combined to constitute a Book of the desired
thickness. If the first leaves of each combination be of thin paper like ordinary
copying paper, it may be used for the transference of writing from the second
leaf by any of the ordinary copying methods, such as by pressure.
The invention enables a person to retain an exact copy of the letter he addresses.

the writing on the leaf B is imprinted, or transferred to the second leaf C, which
leaf is clearly shown at Figure 2 with the perforation to enable it to be torn from
the Book when the writing is completed, such as will be understood by Figure 3
which represents the counterfoil D, the leaf itself having been sent away. This
Figure also shows the correspondents reply E secured to the guard strip F.
If desired the detachable or perforated leaf may have a printed or stamped
heading, such as the address of the sender, or his naine and Calling and Trade
announcements like ordinary Billheads, Memorandums, and the like.
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

We GEORGE RUMBELOW of Herringswell, Mildenhall, West Suffolk, Gentleman and
HARRY ALBERT RUMBELOW F.S. Sc., Headmaster of Newport Grammar School, Isle
of Wight 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 egg stand in which eggs may be placed together with
their egg cups, the part of the egg protruding from the egg cup being enclosed in
cupped parts of the egg stand which being surrounded and covered with hot water
serve to keep the eggs hot by communicating a dry heat thereto which does not cause
the eggs to get hard.
For this purpose I construct the egg stand in the manner illustrated by the
accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation and Figure 2 a
plan of Figure 1 upon the line A B.
The egg stand illustrated is constructed to hold six egg cups with eggs therein and
in both the Figures like letters of reference indicate the same part.
Upon a suitable base (I secure rings D forming receptacles to receive and hold
the feet of the egg cups in position. At the centre of the base C I secure an upright
pillar E upon which I fit in a manner to slide up or down thereon, the hot water
reservoir F having a tube G passing therethrough to slide upon the pillar E. The
hot water may be filled into the reservoir F through an opening closed by the screw
cap H. At the underside of the reservoir cupped recesses J are formed in number
and position to correspond with the number and position of the rings D so that after
placing the egg cups in position in the rings D the eggs contained therein will be
covered by lowering the cupped recesses J upon them and thus the eggs will be kept
hot by means of the hot water contained in the hot water reservoir.
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 :-
As a new manufacture an egg stand provided with a hot water reservoir substan-
tially as and for the purpose described.

Improvements in Fastenings for Sash-windows.
ROBERT JOHN HOME, Cross Roads, Brill, Bucks, Dealer in sporting ammunition, 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 consists of an instrument made of malleable iron and brassed to
prevent rust & to make it more agreeable to the eye. It renders a sash-window
burglur-proof, allowing the sashes to be left open any distance up to eight inches.
I claim 1 am the true inventor of every part thereof.
1. The sashes can be left open for ventilation any distance, so long as the combined
space of the openings does not exceed eight inches. 2. It is automatic; the sashes
are held automatically wherever left, & cannot be opened from the outside. 3. It is
simple of manipulation; the same pressure that is required to open the sash, releases
the catch, admitting the sashes to be opened easily.
Fig. 1 (see Drawings) represents the ratchet bar which is made of malleable iron
and brassed; it is fixed by means of two screws on the right hand side of top sash,
as shown. Fig. 2 represents the catch part which is made of malleable iron & cast
in one; It is provided with a hinge † made of sheet iron, & is fixed by 3 screws on
the top part of bottom sash, on the right hand side, as shown. Fig. 3 represents the
push button which is provided with a small nut B which can be regulated to suit the
thickness of the sash. It works in a square socket Fig. 14, which prevents it
(the push) turning round. They are both made of cast brass. Fig. 4 is let in the
sash immediately under A, of Fig. 2, which is made with a square receptacle
receive the nut B. On pushing push button Fig. 3, the catch part C of Fig. 2, is
released from the teeth of the ratchet bar Fig. 1, allowing the window to be opened.
On removing the hand from the push button Fig. 3, the catch part C of Fig. 2, is
brought by the spring D which is fixed on the hinge † of Fig. 2, into the teeth of the
ratchet bar Fig. 1, preventing the window from being opened from the outside.
Fig. 5, shows the fastener attached to the sashes.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Outters for Sheep-shears, Horse-
clippers, and similar Instruments.
I, FREDERICK YORK WOLSELEY of the Union Club Sydney, in the Colony of
New South Wales, and the Oriental Club, Hanover Square, in the County of
London, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mannor
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of cutters for sheep-
shears, horse-clippers and similar instruments.
Hitherto such cutters have been made from solid metal which rendered them relatively
heavy, and, when required to be sharpened or set, the whole surface had to be ground.
According to my invention I make the cutters hollow and stamp them out of sheet
metal or cast them whereby I obviate the above named defects and considerably
diminish the frictional or rubbing surface and consequently reduce the power required
to work the shear or clipper
In order to enable iny invention to be fully understood I will describe how it can
be carried into practice, by reference to the accompanying drawing which illustrates
a cutter suitable for a sheep-shearing apparatus operated by power.
When making my improved cutters from sheet metal I find it advantageous to
first cut out of suitable sheet metal, such as steel, a blank of the shape shewn at
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing; I thon, by means of suitable dies, stamp
the said blank into the shape shewn in Figures 2 to 5 of the drawing, or the cutter
may be cast of the same shape.
Figure 2 is a plan of the cutter.
Figure 3 is a side view of the same and,
Figure 4 a plan or view of the underside of the cutter shewing the cutting
surfaces.
Figure 5 is a section on the line rx of figure 2.
The cutter thus stamped up or cast is then finished by its cutting edges a a being
ground or set in the usual manner
It will be obvious that other forms of cutters can be manufactured in a similar
manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim 18 :—
(1.) The manufacture of hollow cutters for sheep-shears, horse-clippers and similar
instruments, by stamping them out of sheet metal or by casting them, substantially
as hereinbefore described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved cutters for sheep-shears, horse-
clippers and similar instruments hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.

Figure 1. is a side view of our Improved Automatic Brake, shewing the position of
the operating parts when the Brake is off. Figure 2. is a front view of the same,
representing the Brake in operation, and the machinery stopped.
The bracket, or bearing A. has a sliding wedge B. affixed thereto, which is raised by
means of the lever (). and falls of its own weight, binding the flange of the pulley or
reel, thus bringing the machinery to a dead lock-so that any material or burden
may, by means of a roller or drum be raised, or lowered, or stopped at pleasure ;
which is effected in the following manner.
One end of the cord D. is secured to the neck of the pulley or reel E., upon
which it is then wound, and passed through the pulley at the end of the lever C
When the cord is pulled its pressure on the lever will cause the wedge B. to rise
clear of the pulley or reel, leaving it free to revolve, and raise the burden to the
height desired, by the continuous pulling of the cord, then upon the cord being
let loose, the wedge will immediately engage with the pulley or reel, and suspend
the burden which may be again lowered and stopped in the same manner.

Card Maker, 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 suspender for ladies dresses and has for its
object to allow the skirt of a dress to be readily raised and adjusted so as to prevent
the bottom thereof becoming soiled by mud or dirt and also to relieve the wearer from
the trouble and inconvenience of holding it up by hand.
Such improved suspender consists of a cincture, girdle or band made either of cord
tape ribbon, web, braid, chain leather or any other suitable equivalent and either plain
or ornamented and of any convenient pattern and color or tint. This cincture girdle or
hand passes round the waist and is secured at any convenient point either by a knot
or bow or with a buckle, clasp, pin, spring or other suitable device. Attached to such
cincture, girdle or band are two or more straps or pendants made preferably (but not
necessarily of the same material). These straps or pendants may be of any convenient
length and width and are each furnished on the inside with a hook or loop or other
suitable equivalent which takes on or into a ring eye or button that is sewn or other- .
wise fastened to the skirt in such a position that when the hooks or loops are passed
into or over such rings eyes or buttons the skirt is raised sufficiently to keep it clear
of the ground and perfectly clean at the same time that it can be readily adjusted so
as to present a graceful appearance. If desired two or more rings eyes or buttons
may be fastened to the skirt on each side in different positions so as to allow of the
wearer raising it a greater or less degree as may be found most convenient.
Or the arrangement above described may be reversed and one two or more rings
loops or eyes may be formed on or fastened to the inside of each strap or pendant and
one two or more hooks or other suitable fastenings sewn or otherwise attached to the
skirt.
One advantage peculiar to my invention is that no injury is done thereby to the
fabric or material of which the dress is composed.

An Improved Stylus.
GEORGE SUDDICK, Cookridge Street, Leeds, Stationer, 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 :-
For the purpose of producing manifold copies of memoranda it is usual to employ
tissue paper with carbonated paper beneath the necessary impressions being produced
by means of a stylus formed of some hard substance such as bone with which the
required characters are traced on the tissue. Where memoranda are required not in
manifold it is at present customary to use a black lead pencil and ordinary writing
paper or metallic paper with a suitable writing implement. The implements at present
in use for writing on metallic paper cannot however be used for writing in manifold
books owing to their tendency to tear the paper. The stylus now introduced by me
is equally suitable for either purpose. It is formed as follows: To the end of a handle
or holder of the ordinary kind I affix a cone of solid gold or silver to serve as a point
and with a stylus so formed I can write either on manifold paper or on metallic
paper as required. A double purpose is thus served with a single instrument.
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 cone of gold or silver for use as the point of a stylus for writing on either

heated in its passage through the apparatus by the fire and hot fire gases, which
ascend from the fire grate through the funnel h, circulate within the hood e, and
passing out around the worm d, escape by the outlet i, the heat being absorbed by the
water in the casings b and c and worm d.

Improvements in Apparatus for Temporarily Securing Doors and
the like.
1, JOSEPH KAYE, of Bank House, Kirkstall, Leeds, in the County of York, Lock
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 :-
The object of this invention is to arrange a simple and effective apparatus to
automatically hold doors open which are closed by springs or the like, but which
might also be used for preventing doors opening by draughts or wind which have no
rigid fastening.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1. represents a face plan of my improvement
which is to be fixed on or flush with the floor over which the door swings, and Fig. 2.
is a sectional elevation.
The box frame A. of the apparatus is recessed into the floor over which the door
swings, and within the said box frame is mounted a stem or spindle C. having an
enlarged spherical faced flanged end D. made to project boyond the face of the
plate B. by means of a compressed spiral spring E. which is further compressed by
the door when it is forced to swing over the flange.
The spherical faced flange D. and its spindle are retained in the box frame, by the
hole in the face plate B. being somewhat less in diameter than the spherical flange,
and the strength of the spiral spring E. is such as to prevent the spring or the like
which closes the door compressing part D. thus by these means the door is held in the
desired position.
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 box frame A. with top plate B. having a hole of less diameter than the
spherical faced flange D. combined with a spindle (. and spiral spring E. all arranged
substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein before set forth.
Dated this 19th day of December 1889.

page_text: A, Figures 1 and 2, represents a cup-like body or socket cast complete in one piece,
with a broad base, having holes to receive fastening-screws a, by which it may be
fixed in position upon the floor or other support.
The interior chamber is adapted to hold water or other liquid. It is preferably
made of conical or converging form at the lower end in order to centre and hold the
tree when inserted therein.
At its upper end, the body is provided with three or more radial screws B, tapped
through its sides, and adapted to bear at their inner ends against the trunk of the
tree C. By properly adjusting the screws, the tree may be fixed firmly in an upright
position.
In Figure 3, A represents a cup-like body similar to that in the preceding Figures,
but differing therefrom in that it has a centrally pointed screw B, fixed firmly to its
base, so that by turning the body, the screw may be screwed into the floor or other
support, to hold the contrivance in position and prevent it from overturning. In this
device, a series of wedges c is shown, as substitutes for the fastening screws in the
first form. It is to be understood that the screws or wedges may be replaced by any
other appropriate means for clamping the tree.
The vessel to hold the water may be removably inserted within the body, and the
hody may be cast in two or more parts, although the construction shown is
preferred.
If desired, the fastening screws at the base of the holder may be omitted, and the
base suitably expanded or provided with sustaining feet to maintain it in an upright
position, in which case the screws or other fastenings may be omitted,

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the 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. The holder for Christmas trees, consisting of a body or socket having clamping
devices to hold the tree, and a chamber or receptacle to hold water.
2. A holder for Christmas trees, consisting of a body adapted to receive the tree and
to hold a fluid around the base of a tree, clamping devices to hold the tree therein, and
means for securing the body to a floor or other support.
3. The cup-like holder cast complete in one piece, the tree clamping device at its
top, and a fastening device at its base.

Improvements in the Construction of Brushes, Applicable for Bottle-washing or like Purposes.
Year: 1889

page_text: Improvements in the Construction of Brushes, Applicable for
Bottle-washing or like Purposes.
1 JOSIAH WHALLEY WILLIAMS, of 12, Lister Hills Road, Bradford, in the County
ot York, Brush 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, that is to say :—
It relates to improvements in that class of brushes, for bottle-washing or
like purposes, formed by the bristles, hairs or vegetable or metallic fibres being
inserted between two pieces of wire or strips of metal that are then twisted
together, and consists of constructing same in such a manner that the desired rigidity
of the handle part or stem is obtained without the addition of supplementary pieces
of wire or without incurring the liability of having said bristles, hairs etc., cut by
any sharp or thin edges of the strips of metal that are employed for holding said
bristles.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, in order that same
may be more readily understood I have hereunto appended a sheet of drawings
illustrative thereof, to which, by figures and letters reference is made in the following
description.
Fig. 1 is a side view shewing finished brush. Fig. shews the two wires or metal
parts twisted together, the bristles, hairs etc., being omitted. Fig. 3 is a detail.
drawing shewing one of the metal parts. Figs. 2 and 3 are of enlarged scale.
As is well known these brushes have heretofore been constructed either of two
pieces of round wire, with a supplementary piece of wire to strengthen the handle
part or stem, or of two strips of metal that are of half round shape in cross section,
the former having the disadvantage of requiring the addition of another piece to
strengthen its handle or stem while the latter, though affording the desired strength
of handle, has the disadvantage of cutting the bristles, hairs etc., with thin or sharp
edges.
However according to my invention the parts a¹ of the wires or metal parts a are
formed of half round shape in cross section, so that when two of these parts are

page_text: placed with their flattened sides together and then twisted, the handle part or stem b
(see figs. 1 and 2) will be formed straight and even throughout, and by being thus
compactly twisted together the desired rigidity is obtained.
Now the parts a² are round or cylindrical in form, so that when the bristles, hairs or
fibres etc. are inserted between them, and they are then twisted together, no sharp or
thin edges on the wires or metal parts can be pressed against said bristles, hairs, etc.,
therefore the liability of cutting same is avoided.
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 brush constructed as herein described by the employment of two strips of
metal each of which is formed to have a round and a half round portion substantially
as and for the purposes specified.

I, CHARLES RUMney Illingworth Clayton House near Accrington, Lancashire,
Doctor of Medicine of University of Edinburgh and Member of The Royal College of
Surgeons of England, Physician and Surgeon, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The insertion of a round-headed screw nail (a) into the shoe, closely adjacent to one
or other side of each frost-stud (b). These screw-nails are guard-screws."
"
The effect of this arrangement of "guard screws," is to prevent the frost-studs
working loose or dropping out whilst in use, by reason of the abutment of the head of
cach guard-screw against the square face of the base of each frost-stud.

Improvements in the Production of an Indigo Vat.
ARTHUR ASHWORTH 3 Booth Street Mosley Street Manchester Manufacturing
Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The existing system of forming an Indigo vat has several drawbacks which make
it not only inconvenient but expensive. Schutzenbergers hydro-sulphite vat has also
similar drawbacks, on the addition of lime to the hydrosulphite of zinc a large
precipitate of zinc hydrate is formed which makes the vat very muddy and renders it
impossible to regain the reoxydised Indigo. I bave however found means to prevent
this drawback and proceed in the following manner :-
I take sodium bi-sulphite & treat it with zinc dust, iron or copper filings until
the reduction is complete, the liquor is separated from the precipitate formed by
filtration or decantation in suitable vessels and to the solution a sufficient quantity of
sodium sulphide is added to precipitate all the zinc, iron or copper as zinc, iron or
copper sulphide, the liquid is filtered in a suitable way & forms, after the addition of
a little caustic soda, an excellent vat for reducing Indigo. The zinc sulphide or other
metallic sulphide form a very valuable bye product useful in many ways.
