I WILLIAM PARISH HOSKINS of Charles Henry Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN COT AND BASSINETTE BODIES 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 drawings hereunto
annexed and to the letters and figures marked thereon that is to say:-
This invention consists in constructing the bodies of Cots and Bassinettes of a
metallic mesh or webbing composed of chains loops or ornamental metal work
linked together and attached to the top and bottom rods or supports of the body
so as to form the sides into a flexible metallic network, or the same result may
be obtained by using a combination of metallic links with any other flexible
material.
The annexed drawing represents a view of a cot or bassinette suspended on its
frame (a) (b) are the top and bottom rods of the body. (c) is the material
forming the sides and ends and shewn in this instance as being formed in a lattice
or mesh of metallic chain though this body may if preferred be composed of metal
stampings on blanks so attached as to form a flexible fabric for the body or such
body may be made in chains or other forms of metal as described in combination
with any other material either woven or twisted the object I have in view being
the production of a body for cots and bassinettes which shall whilst preserving its
flexibility for the purposes of folding at the same time be free from the evils of
stretching or losing its rigidity or tensile power by the weight of the occupant
which is the fault of all such bodies when made of a textile or twisted fabric other
than metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The improvements herein described in the manufacture of the bodies of cots and
bassinettes that is to say making the sides and ends of such bodies either wholly
or partly of a metallic mesh or webbing or series of blanks or wires linked together
BO that the flexibility of the body is obtained without impairing its vertical
rigidity or tensile strength as herein more fully set forth and specified.
Dated this 15th day of August 1885.
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLASS TAPS
Year: 1885

page_text: EDWARD JOHN MICHAEL CETTI of 36 Brooke Street, Holborn, London Mathe-
matical Instrument Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLASS TAPS to be as follows:-
Taps composed. of Glass hermetically sealed at bottom of Cylindrical body,
which contains the plug, & the upper part of said body, enlargened funnel shape,
to enable one to form a mercurial or Glycerine Joint & thus prevent leakage.

page_text: EDWARD JOHN MICHAEL CETTI of 36 Brooke St. Holborn, London Mathe-
matical Instrument Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLASS TAPS and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Taps composed of glass hermetically sealed at bottom of cylindrical body which
contains the plug, and the upper part of the said body enlarged funnel shaped to
enable one to form a mercurial or glycerine joint and thus prevent leakage.
Hitherto glass taps used in admitting air or other gasses, or fluids, into a closed
vessel having a lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere, or taps which
were used to prevent the ingress of foreign material into a vessel having been
exhausted, have been inreliable in their action and uncertain in their object.
The object in my present invention is to obviate these defects of leakage.
In carrying out my said invention I employ a glass faucet having an hermeti-
cally sealed bottom at which I grind the spiggot or glass plug. I futher increase
the depth of such faucet so that when the spiggott or glass plug is fully down in
its seating there shall be a circular, grooved, or annuilar space in which I pour
mercury Glycerine, Oil, Sulphuric Acid or other suitable flud whose office is to
run into, and stop up any minute interstice which would be iminical to the light-
ness of the tap, thereby excluding all air from the apparatus and rendering the
stopcock as reliable as a sealed joint with the advantages of the stopcock
combined.
I may if I desire close the top of the spiggot and faucet by an indiarubber collar,
so that the tap may be turned into any position without spilling the protective
fluid but this forms no part of my present invention.
Having now particulary 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 improvements in Glass taps by the employment of an hermetically sealed
bottom to the glass faucets and the annular space for holding mercury or other
suitable fluid for the purpose substantially herein before described.

page_text: I JAMES GEORGE INGRAM of the London India Rubber Works, Hackney Wick,
in the County of Middlesex India Rubber Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention to be as follows:-
The invention relates to that class of infants' feeding bottle in which the suction
tube is passed through the centre of the cap or stopper. Heretofore in such
description of infants' feeding bottle the head of the cap or stopper has been
formed with a smooth exterior surface and with a comparatively sharp edge
around the hole through which the suction tube passes which when the suction
tube has been folded down thereon has left such suction tube projecting entirely
above the surface thereof; this when the feeding bottle has been packed in its box
has caused the said suction tube to be completely flattened, thereby closing the
passage through the same which after having been continued some time causes a
permanent flattening of the suction tube at such part which obstructs the free
passage of the food and sometimes completely destroys such tube for use.
According to my invention I obviate these difficulties by curving or flaring the
outer edge of the central aperture and by forming the exterior of the head of the
cap or stopper with a series of projections and recesses which latter are of width
and depth sufficiently large to receive the suction tube when folded and to leave
the projections standing above the said suction tube whereby the latter is
protected from being flattened by the pressure of the stopper thereon when
packed in the box.
:

page_text: standing above the said suction tube b whereby the latter is protected from being
flattened by the pressure of the stopper thereon when packed in the box.
I would here remark that the form of the stopper and of the projections a¹ and
recesses a³ may be varied without departing from the peculiar character of my
invention.
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 improvements in infants' feeding bottles whereby the suction tube is
protected from injury substantially as herein shown and described.

IMPROVED FASTENER OR PEG FOR SECURING CLOTHES TO LINES
Year: 1885

page_text: We FRANCIS HABGOOD FREETH and SIDNEY JOB POCOCK trading as Freeth and
Pocock of 8 South Lambeth Road, Vauxhall, in the county of Surrey, Manufacturers
of Dairy Utensils do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVED
FASTENER OR PEG FOR SECURING CLOTHES TO LINES and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
:
We take a piece of galvanised iron or suitable metal and baving cut it to a
suitable length, we bend it by suitable means into the shapes shewn in the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. I is a front and side elevation of one application of the Fastener.
II is a front and side elevation of another application of the Fastener.
III is a plan of the Fastener applied to a line.
IV is an elevation of the Fastener as applied to 8. line.
We claim for our Patent the following advantages and novelties.
As will be seen in Fig. II the parts a. b. c. d. are in the side elevation seen in
the same plane, when the Fastener or Peg is not used.
When the Fastener or Peg is applied to a clothes-line for the purpose of fastening
clothes, the shape given to the part marked 'e' enables the operator to place the
Fastener at once without difficulty.
:
By using a little pressure the spring of the material of the Fastener is overcome
and the Fastener is forced over the line gripping the clothes tightly.
In Fig. III we shew the plan of a peg so gripping the line and it will be seen
that the line is corrugated by the Peg.
This advantage is for the purpose of taking up the "slack" of a line which
always occurs when the weight of the wet clothes comes upon it.
We claim such variation in shape and proportion as may be requisite for the
application of our Patent for specific purposes, not shewn in the accompanying
drawings which are illustrative only.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1.) The utilization of galvanised iron and other suitable material as a Fastener
or Peg, in the manner described and illustrated as aforesaid.

page_text: I OLAF VŒERING of Christiania in the Kingdom of Norway, Photographer 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 is intended for such photographic cameras which are arranged for
taking several photographs on the same plate and which therefore have a corre-
sponding number of objectives. The object of the invention is to enable the
photographer to expose any desired part of the plate corresponding to the different
objectives, one or more of them, at one time without that the other parts of the
plate are acted upon by the light.
The drawing represents such a camera in a back view and with the visor plate
or slide cover removed. The camera G is provided with an inner open frame H
which divides the camera in as many parts as there are objectives; in this case nine
parts are shown, or as the number of pictures it is intended to contain on the
Bensitive plate.
The frame in this arrangement contain's six slides of which the three A B and C
work vertically and the other three D E and F work horizontally. Each slide
when put in covers three openings in the frame H or as many as there are in each
vertical or horizontal row.
If it is desired to expose that part of the plate which lies behind one of the
objectives or spaces in the frame H for instance N° 6 then only those slides viz
C and E which cover this opening have to be pulled out while all the other openings
remain closed.
The drawing shows a partial opening of the field 7, the slide A being quite away
from the opening, while the slide F is only partly drawn away. In the same
manner any desired other field or number of other fields may at the same time
be exposed. It is however to be observed that it is not for instance possible to
cover the opening 7 while exposing all the others. Those fields which one therefore
wishes to open simultaneously must be chosen amongst those that lie behind the
same slide, and those fields must first be exposed which lie nearest to the handles
of the slide.

page_text: 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 closing appliance for photographic cameras consisting of a frame having rows
of holes and which is provided with slides crossing each other and serving to cover
all the rows of holes in the frame in both directions substantially as set forth.
Dated this 2nd day of December 1885.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GRIDS OR UNDERCASINGS OF CARDING ENGINES
Year: 1885

page_text: We DANIEL HALL and JAMES HENRY KAY both of Whitelands Tin Works
Ashton-under-Lyne in the County of Lancaster, Iron and Tin Plate Workers do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GRIDS OR
UNDERCASINGS OF CARDING ENGINES 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 principally to such grids or undercasings of card cylinders
as are formed of a series of hollow metal angle bars arranged in semicircular or
segmental end frames and enclosing the lower part of the said card cylinder, our
object being to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on such bars."
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we have annexed hereto a
sheet of drawings in which Figs 1 and 2 shew transverse sections of part of a grid
or undercasing as formerly constructed and Fig. 3 a similar view of part of one
made according to our Invention.
Hitherto these grids have usually been made of bars a of uniform section
arranged radially to the centre of the circle from which the semicircular or
segmental end frames are formed (see Fig. 1) and it will be evident from this figure
that the nearer the bars approach to the end at A. the more horizontally the flat
sectioned bars are placed and they consequently form ledges near these points upon
which a quantity of dust and dirt from the card cylinder accumulates. They have
also sometimes been placed as shown at Fig 2 but this arrangement also formed
ledges or spaces where dirt could accumulate.
We obviate this by forming the bars a¹, a¹ of unequal section see Fig. 3.
The bars at a¹, a¹ are so formed that their upper angles instead of being equal as
hitherto are unequal and their sides, slope outwards and downwards and thus
follow or nearly so, the curve of the cylinder and do not present surfaces upon
which the dust and dirt can accumulate with the same facility as upon the bars
shown at Figs 1. and 2.
We prefer to construct the bars a¹, a¹ of varying sections so that their slope will
remain the same or nearly so although they appro ich nearer to the edge B and we
also prefer to make some (say six) of the central bars of the ordinary section.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The construction of the grids or undercasing of carding Engines forming the
hollow metal bars with unequal angles at their upper edges and sloping so as not
to present surfaces upon which dust and dirt can accumulate, substantially as
hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings annexed.

SCREW FAN," to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct a fan so as to be comparatively
noiseless, more effective, and takes less driving power than fans as now constructed.
I employ a conical, or double conical cylinder, running small or taper to the
centre; in the cylinder is a conical screw, or a double conical screw, the threads on
each cone, being right and left hand so as to draw the air to the centre, where the
exit is; a shaft passes through the screw. cone, or cones, upon which is the driving
pulley, the cylinder being partially open at each end in the double cone.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE SPRING OF WEAVING SHUTTLES
Year: 1885

page_text: JAMES WHITAKER Shuttle Maker Ingrow Keighley do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN THE SPRING OF WEAVING SHUTTLES to be
as follows:-
An indiarubber spring which presses against the shoulder of the shuttle pike
thereby holding the shuttle pike in proper position in the shuttle.

page_text: Improvement in the spring
I JAMES WHITAKER, of Ingrow near Keighley in the County of York, Shuttle
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN THE
SPRING OF WEAVING SHUTTLES 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 novel and useful improvements in the springs for
holding the pikes of shuttles for weaving in position.
In order that those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may
understand how to make and use the same I will proceed to describe it in detail
referring by letter to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification
in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a shuttle fitted with my improved
spring. Figure 2 is a plan of the same.
.
Figures 3 and 4 represent similar views of a shuttle showing another method
of applying the spring. The following description refers to either of the
arrangements.
My improvements consist in using an india rubber spring A in lieu of the metal
spring hitherto used for retaining the pike B in position.
The india rubber springs may be made of any convenient form but preferably of
a transverse circular section fitted in cylindrical recesses made in the body of the
shuttle. A lip or shoulder C formed on the end of the pike B hinged to the shuttle
bears against the india rubber spring A. The said spring being compressed when
the pike is fitted to the shuttle presses against the lip or shoulder C which pressure,
owing to the position of the lip O on the pike relative to the position of the pin or
rivet D attaching such pike to the shuttle, firmly holds the said pike in position
when the shuttle is in operation and restores it to position after the bobbin has
been changed.
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 :-
In a shuttle for weaving, the application or use of an india rubber spring for
holding the pike substantially as herein shewn and described.

page_text: of the ordinary kinds suitable for these several purposes, and I cut into the head or
stock (A) of brush a well in which I fit a metal chamber (B) perforated with holes.
I insert a metal tube through the handle (E) connected with a ball and socket
joint (C). When screwed down handle and chamber together secures the head of,
brush between them. When I attach a flexible tube connected with water main or
force pump with a suitable cran, the water or fluid will ooze or flow from the brush
on to the work as may be required. The hair, bristles, or fibre is taken out in
front of perforated chamber, so that the water or fluid will go straight to the work.
The handle can be unscrewed from head of brush at any time. I make an opening
at end of chamber fitted with a screw cap (D) which can be removed for the
purpose of cleaning if the holes get choked. When the hair of the brushes is worn
down the handle and chamber can be refitted with a new head. The brushes can
be used with hot or cold fluid, as the liquid flows entirely through metal fittings.
The ball and socket joint at the head of brush is for keeping it at any angle
required

LEON WARNERKE Silverhowe Champion Hill London S.E. County of Surrey,
Gentleman, I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN
TILE PREPARATION OF THE SENSITIVE PAPER OR OTHER FABRICS APPLICABLE AȘ
SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS IN PHOTOGRAPHY to be as follows:-
.
I render Paper or other transparent or semitransparent tissue or fabrics sensitive
to light on both sides. Material so prepared is then used like ordinary Photo-
grapic Plate or Paper either in the camera or otherwise.-Light during the
exposur, act not only on the front sensitive surface, but penetrate the Paper or
semitransparent fabric used, and act on the back sensitive surface also. After
exposure development follows, either of both front and back surfaces simultaneusly,
or one side first, and the other after; so that the two images, one on the front, and
the other on the back of the Paper is produced.-Advantage of acting thus is
following: 1.) any texture or irregularity of the transparancy of the paper or other
fabric is rendered harmless, because any such imperfection is counterbalanced by its
action on the image produced on the back sensitive surface 2.) Easy adaptability
to produce negative with lines or grain suitable for engraving processes 3.) Greater
brillancy and softness, in the ultimate prints, usualy accompanying printing from
two negatives.

AIR CUSHIONED HAMMER OR STAMPER
Year: 1885

page_text: I, WILLIAM HUSBAND of Hayle in the County of Cornwall, Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "AIR CUSHIONED HAMMER OR STAMPER
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 hammer or stamper so arranged that the working
parts are pneumatically relieved from the shocks to which they would otherwise
be subjected in the working of the apparatus. I will describe a double stamper
according to my invention referring to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a
vertical section and Fig. 2 a side view partly in section. On a double frame A A
I mount in bearings a shaft B which is caused to revolve by a band and pulley or
otherwise from any suitable motor. On each end of the shaft B is a crank C
which is linked by a forked connecting rod K to trunnions on a cylinder E. This
cylinder is fitted with a piston D on a rod which at its lower end carries the
stamper head H working within the coffer J. The piston D as well as its rod is
grooved for packing rings to prevent leakage and the rod works in long sleeves
which extend from the top and bottom of the cylinder E and are guided through
hushes N N. The connecting rod K is connected to its upper fork by a screwed
sleeve k through a slot of which a key is driven between the two ends of the rods.
By unscrewing and re-screwing the sleeve and driving a narrower or wider key,
the length of the rod can be varied so as to raise or lower the head H. Above and
below the piston D when it is in its middle position there are a number of small
air holes e through the cylinder. When the cylinder moves so that the piston
passes these holes in either direction, there is enclosed above or below it a cushion
of air which becomes compressed giving impetus to the stamper head, and forming
an elastic buffer between the stamper and the crank shaft. To prevent oil from
getting into the coffer J I provide a catch tray M on the stamper rod. The crank
pins C are preferably fixed in discs which may have several holes to receive them
at different distances from the centre, so that by shifting the pins the stroke may
be varied.
The machine may obviously be made single, arranged within the framing under
a single crank, or it may be made double within the framing, the crank shaft
baving its two opposite cranks between the bearings. In such arrangements the
crank stroke remains invariable.

page_text: The apparatus described may obviously be used as a hammer in which case the
coffer J is dispensed with and a suitable anvil or block is employed to sustain
the blows of the head H.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
-
1. The construction of hammer or stamper substantially as described and shewn
by the drawings.
2. In a hammer or stamper, an air cylinder having trunnions to receive a forked
connecting rod and long guided sleeves in which the packed piston rods work.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Anvils.
ANDREW BROOKS, 2 Strand Road Blakenhall, Wolverhampton in the County of
Stafford, Spade and Shovel Manufacturer. I do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ANVILS, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
Anvils are generally composed of iron with the face staled and requires nine
welds.
The Anvils that I propose are to be made entirely of Steel without welding
Notching Anvils for edged tool works will be made of solid steel. The notching
Anvils will have a double face top and bottom. so that either part, can be used.
One Anvil can be used for four notches. The Steel is to be melted in a Cupola or
other convenient vessel and run into moulds of the required size and form.
What I claim is
;
:
The production of every description and form to be manufactured entirely of
Steel. The Steel is to be melted in a Cupola or other convenient vessel and ran
into moulds of the required size and form.

page_text: I, WILLIAM ROBERT LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co, Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, 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 improvements in the construction of nail cleaners and
the application of the same to pen or pocket knives. By means of the said cleaners
the nails may be completely cleaned without injuring the quick or ruffling the
surface of the nails.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is a side view of the improved nail cleaner attached to the handle of a
pocket knife.
Figure 2 is a front view of the same.
Figure 3 is a rear view of the cleaner drawn to an enlarged scale.
Figure 4 is a front view of the same.
Figure 5 is a side view and
Figure 6 is a cross section on the line x, x, Figure 4.
a is the portion of the cleaner which comes into contact with the surface of the
nail when in use, and this portion is made in an oval form tapering towards the
extreme end b, which is rounded so as to present a dull point to that portion of
the nail where the flesh joins it, called the quick. The point of junction d between
this rounded surface a and the flat rear surface c is also rounding, which gives the
cleaner, at its rear, somewhat the appearance of a smoothing iron.
By reason of this construction no angular, flat or sharp surface is presented to
the nail, and the operation of cleaning the nail can be proceeded with without
danger of injury to the quick. With all other constructions of nail cleaners great
care has to be exercised in their use, in order to avoid injury to the nail and
quick.
The said cleaner also burnishes the inside of the nail, thus preventing the dirt
sticking thereto. All other nail cleaners make grooves on the inside of the nail,
thus forming receptacles for the dirt.

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
First. In a nail cleaner, the surface a rounded and tapering to a dull point b and
having a rounded edge d at the junction between the surfaces a and c, substantially
as described.
Second. In a pen-knife or pocket-knife, a nail cleaner having a rounded surface
tapering to a dull point, substantially as described.

DESCRIP OF THE DRAWINGS
Year: 1885

page_text: Opposition to the Sealing having
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS."
Figure 1 shows a side view of a blank from which I make an improved carriage.
Figure 2 shows a side view of a finished carriage.
Figure 3, shows an edge view of the same.
Figure 4, shows another side view of an improved carriage with its bobbin
inserted.
Heretofore carriages have had a head or top of brass or other suitable metal
soldered upon one side, such head being very thin, after being in use a short time
has turned up at the ends, such turned up ends when in use have cut down the
warp or spool threads, through which they were constantly passing, thereby
causing considerable damage. To obviate which I punch out the blanks larger at
the top and down portion of each edge previous to cutting or pressing out the
middle to afford space for the bobbin and spring, I then place each blank in a pair
of clamps of suitable shape, one of which is recessed at the top and down portion
of each side, the clamps are pressed firmly together in a strong pair of vice, and
the larger portion of metal before mentioned is then persuaded as it were, into the
recessed portion of the clamp, by repeated slight blows of the workmans hammer,
this process leaves a head or top of solid metal, which continues down. portion of
each edge or breast on one side of the blank, leaving the lower edge with a sharp
projection which would be liable to cut down the threads; to obviate this I place
the blank between dies which press the sharp lower edge into the form of a bevel
as shown at A Figure 2, the carriage is then finished in the usual way. I am thus
enabled to produce a perfect carriage, having the top and portion of each edge or
breast of the carriage in one solid piece. By thus doing away with the curling up
of the ends, and the lower sharp edge, the cutting down of threads by them is
prevented, besides dispensing with the labour and expense of soldering on the
metal head, and avoiding the bending of the carriage during such process.

page_text: 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 solid headed carriage, substantially as described and illustrated in
the Drawings annexed.

I, ALPHONSE GOBERT, manufacturer of 167 rue Saint Martin, Paris, France
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SPRINGS
FOR STIFFENING CERTAIN PORTIONS OF LADIES WEARING APPAREL to be as
follows:-
It is customary to stiffen certain parts of ladies wearing apparel by means of
springs in metal or other flexible material, which are attached to the garments, as
a general rule, by first covering, either entirely or partially, such springs with
woven or other material and then stitching them through the edges of such.
covering.
My invention applies to this class of goods and consists mainly in piercing one or
more series of holes in such metallic or other springs through which, such articles
can be attached more advantageously to the garments by stitching, after having
been, either partially or entirely, covered with a woven or other material.

Fig. 1 shows my improved spring having a series of slots through which the
thread is passed for stitching the spring to the garment.
In fig. 2, the slots are replaced by a series of holes and in fig. 3 the edges of the
spring are notched.
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 spring for stiffening certain portions of ladies garments, composed of an
ordinary steel or other strip provided with slots, holes or openings, substantially as
described, for stitching the spring to the garments.

IMPROVE- MENTS IN FLAT WIRE ROPE
Year: 1885

page_text: I ROBERT STIRLING NEWALL of Ferndene Gateshead in the County of Durham
Wire Rope Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN FLAT WIRE ROPE to be as follows:-
--
"
Hitherto in the manufacture of flat wire ropes, they have been composed of a
number of round ropes, each consisting of four or six strands laid round a core and
alternately to the right and left hand and they are held together by stitching or
otherwise. The intervention of cores in the ropes renders the operation of stitching
difficult and tedious and the displacement of the core caused by the stitching is
injurious to the strength of the rope.
My improvement consists in combining by stitching or otherwise right and left
hand ropes composed of only two strands each, and without cores, which are much
more easily manufactured and possess other advantages.
