FRANK BRYAN of 38 Charterhouse Square, Aldersgate Street, London, E.C.
Manufacturer of Cricketing and Lawn Tennis Goods, 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 :-
I take strips of cotton or other suitable fabric or tape of proper dimensions so as to
fit the back of the fingers or wherever the indiarubber is placed and sew or faston
tho strips on to the gloves. Afterwards I fasten the usual indiarubber guards on to
the strips by means of cement or any suitable moans. By my method the indiarubber
is not fastened directly to the glove which is generally of leather and not a good
substance for adhesives and the strips or tape coming between render my glove when
complete stronger and more durable than any other.

Ipswich, in the County of Suffolk Wholesale and Export Shoe Manufacturers,
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:
Our invention relates to improvements in sole leathers for boots and shoes.
In carrying it into effect we stud the sole leathers with wood studs or pegs for the
whole space of the tread.
In order that our invention may be thoroughly understood we refer to the accom-
panying drawing which is to be taken as part of this specification and read
therewith.
The said drawing represents a sole-leather made according to the present invention.
The pegs a are of wood and preferably angular in cross section. They are as long
as the sole leather is thick. They are inserted by any convenient means and occupy
the full surface of the sole close up to the edge i.e., almost all the tread of the solc.
Their presence adds considerably to the durability of the sole without sensibly
diminishing its flexibility.
We are aware that wood pegs have been largely used for the purpose of fastening
soles to uppers and that it has been proposed to stud sole leathers with metal but we
wish to be distinctly understood that we do not lay any claim to the use of wood
pegs for fastening upper and sole together neither do we intend to lay any general
claim to studding sole leathers, but
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 we
claim is
The combination with a sole leather of an assemblage of wooden studs as
set forth.

I HARRY DAVIS of 51 Great Hampton Row in the City and County of Birmingham
Manufacturing Optician 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 of a metal tube in the accompanying diagram marked A B
through the whole length of which runs a screw terminating at one extremity with the
milled bead and threaded from the centre of the said tube in opposite directions.
Inside the said tube and on either side of its centre are two small pieces of tube of
from th to th inch in length to which are attached respectively the two pairs of
pointers E F and G H. These small pieces of tube are threaded to correspond with
the screw running through the tube A B with a result that by turning the milled
head C a similtaneous right and left movement of the pointers is obtained.
Of the four pointers those marked F & G are for the purpose of measuring the
distance between the pupils of the eyes and the distance is ascertained by the scale on
the instrument marked "Pupil" and on the diagram "scale No. 1." The pointers E
and El are for the purpose of measuring the width of the forehead or front which is
ascertained by the scale on the instrument marked "Face" and on the diagram
"Scale No. 2."
Attached to the front centre of the tube A B and at right angles are two fine bars
of steel along which the small platform K can be moved by means of the screw "L"
its distance from the tube A B being ascertained by the "Scale No. 3.
Through the platform K run vertically two fine steel bars to which is attached the
nose-bridge M moved downwards or upwards by means of the Milled head N the
distance between the nose bridge and the platform being ascertained by the "Scale
No. 4."
To the pointers E and H is attached a pair of spectacle sides for keeping the
instrument in position.

page_text: On the drawings the several slides are shown as being worked by screws which I
consider to be the most generally convenient but such screws may be dispensed with
and the slides moved by any other suitable means without departing from the nature
of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inven-
tion and in what manner the same can be performed I declare that what I
claim is
Firstly. The Mechanism for measuring and ascertaining the distance between the
eyes as hereinbefore described.
Secondly. The Mechanism for measuring and ascertaining the frontal breadth as
hereinbefore described.
Thirdly. The Mechanism for measuring and ascertaining the relative and horizontal
position of the bridge of the nose in relation to the position of the eyes as hereinbefore
described.
Fourthly. The combination of mechanism for taking the several admeasurements of
the face as are necessary to secure the exact fit of spectacles and double eye glasses as
herein before described.

page_text: I, CHARLES CARROLL GILMAN, of Eldora, Iowa, in the United States of America,
Manufacturer of Porous Terra Cotta, 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 my invention is to prevent the penetration of external heat and
cold through the outer brick walls of a building; and to this end my invention
consists in securing to the inside surface of an ordinary brick wall fluted slabs or
sheets of terra-cotta lumber, or a similar porous burned-brick material, as herein-
after described and claimed.
The accompanying drawing represents a vertical transverse section of a wall con-
structed in accordance with my invention. The bricks A, forming the body of the
A brick wall of average
wall, are laid up in the ordinary well known manner.
thickness does not prevent however, the penetration of external heat and cold, because
bricks are good conductors of heat and cold..
To overcome this objection is the object of my invention, and I attain this object
by securing to the inside surface of the brick wall a layer of terra-cotta lumber or its
equivalent.
Terra-cotta lumber, as is well known, is to a very high degree, a non-conductor of
heat and cold, said property being due largely to its porous character or structure,
formed by the combustion of sawdust mingled with the clay in its manufacture. It
is also a non-combustible material which more effectually resists the action of fire
than brick, is easily sawed or wrought with edged tools, such as used by carpenters,
and will receive and hold nails or spikes.
I do not desire to limit myself strictly to "terra-cotta lumber" so called, as any
porous burned-brick material possessing substantially the same properties is within
the scope of my invention.
The slabs or sheets B, of terra-cotta lumber, are preferably twelve inches squaro,
or more, and two inches thick. They are laid against the inside surface of the
brick wall, and secured to the same by nails or spikes C, passing through said
slabs into the mortar joints between said bricks. I flute the sheets as shewn at D,

page_text: 1
།;
and place said fluted side against the brick wall, so as to form a series of dead-air
spaces, which will aid in proventing the penetration of external heat and cold. The
exposed surface of the slabs of terra-cotta, lumber is covered with a coating of
plaster E, which firmly adheres thereto, by reason of the porous structure thereof,
and which coating may be thinner than that necessary where laths are used..
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 combination, with the outer brick wall of a building, of fluted sheets of terra-
cotta lumber or its equivalent, secured with the fluted side against the bricks to the
inside surface of said wall, so as to form a series of dead-air spaces, substantially as
described.

I JAMES WILLIAM THOMAS CADETT of Greville Works, Ashstead, Surrey Photo-
graphic Chemist 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 has for its object to facilitate and ensure the even and regular
delivery and distribution of photographic emulsion on to and over glass or other
surfaces to be coated therewith thus obtaining thereon a film of uniform consistency.
To effect this I fit a coating machine with a combination receiving delivering and
distributing apparatus consisting of a combined trough and roller. The roller is
formed on or fixed to the front of the trough so as to form a cylindrical or curved lip
thereto. Such cylindrical or curved lip may be either tubular or solid while the line
of its upper surface is preferably at a somewhat lower level than the line of the back
of the trough-Suitable grooves or guides are formed or fixed on the inside of the
trough at each end-Into these grooves or guides a division plate is fitted thus.
dividing the trough into two longitudinal compartments-This division plate has
suitable apertures formed therein so that when the emulsion is fed into the trough
it first enters the back compartment and then flows through such apertures into
the front compartment and gradually rises therein until it wells over the cylindrical
or curved lip on to the glass or other surface to be coated with the emulsion-
Or such lip may be fitted with a plate or other suitable equivalent which is so
placed as to form an inclined plane on to which the emulsion may flow and
thus be delivered in a sheet on to the surface or surfaces to be coated therewith.
Or the division plate may if preferred be made solid and so fitted that a narrow
opening is left between its lower edge and the bottom of the trough to allow the

Improvements in Lamp Reflectors.
I, GEORGE LOUIS LAVENDER of Eldon Saddlery Works, Walsall, in the County of
Stafford, Manager, 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 :—
Hitherto carriage lamps have usually been provided with reflectors made of
brass and silver plated; this has necessitated constant cleaning which has resulted
in the rubbing off of the silver plate and the spoiling of the reflectors which then
had to be resilvered.
To avoid this glass reflectors have been tried and these were highly satisfactory
at first requiring no cleaning beyond an occasional wipe over, and producing
brilliant reflection. The drawback to these however has been that the effect of the
heat upon the mercury or mercurial amalgam with which they were silvered has
spoilt the silvering and ruined the reflector.
Now I have found that by employing glass reflectors prepared by the nitrate
of silver or other metals in solution process, in place of the former mercurial
amalgam, the drawbacks above mentioned are entirely obviated, and a most satis-
factory and efficient glass reflector is produced which is not affected by the heat
of the lamp or other variations in temperature.
The nitrate of silver process above referred to will be well understood by experts
in the glass silvering trade.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is:
The application to lamps of glass reflectors prepared by a nitrate of silver or
analogous process whereby the reflector is enabled to withstand heat.

A New Game and Apparatus therefor.
1, JOHN JAMES RIDGE, of Carlton House, Baker Street, Enfield, Middlesex, M.D.
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 made to the drawing accompanying my provisional
specification:
The implements of the game consist of (1) a smooth circular disc of wood, card-
board, metal or other suitable material called "the board," surrounded by a rim &
having an outer circle divided by pins, partitions elevations, or in other suitable ways.
The divisions are open towards the centre and are sufficiently wide to allow the ball
to roll in. There are usually twenty-six such divisions each marked with a letter of
the alphabet, but the number is not essential, or some divisions may be unmarked, or
all may be marked with numbers instead. In the central portion of the board there
are a few pins, elevations or other obstacles which may vary in number and position.
The size of the board may also vary. (2) The ball, which is spherical & made of any
suitable material, its size being such as to allow it to enter the divisions but not to
allow it to pass from one to the next.
The object of the game is, by suitably inclining the board, to cause the ball to roll
into some division previously determined on, & then into another; in this way words
may be spelled if the divisions are lettered, or points scored if they are numbered.
In another form pits are excavated or indented round the outer circle so that the
ball may fall into one or another as desired.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. A flat circular disc divided at the outer circle of its face into divisions by pins,
elevations, or depressions, or other suitable means, marked with letters or numbers, &
with obstacles arranged in the central portion, into which divisions a ball may be
caused to roll for the purposes of a game substantially as described.

Wire Letters for Sky Signs, Facias, and Advertising Purposes.
I, WILLIAM HENRY CLARKE, of No. 1, Selborne Road, Wood Green, in the County
of Middlesex, Surveyor, 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 letters for advertising purposes, the said letters being
especially applicable for facial and sky signs.
In carrying out my invention I construct suitable wire frames of the shape of the
required letters, such framing being filled in with open wire work of small or large
mesh and then galvanized.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of a letter constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a section of the same on the line, a Figure 1.
a indicates the framing of the letter and 6 the open wire-work, the edges of which
are secured to the framing in a well known manner. In the letter shown in the
drawing the framing is in two parts but it is obvious that when constructing letters
such as Cor E a single frame only is necessary.
c indicates a beading which I advantageously secure around the framing after the
attachment of the wirework thereto for the purposes of ornamentation. As shown
this beading is in the form of a flat bar twisted.
When the letters are formed they are, as hereinbefore stated, galvanized, after which
they may be painted or enamelled in any desired colour.
Some of the great advantages of letters of the construction herein before described
are that they offer very little resistance to wind, and that they are of relatively
small weight.
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 manufacture and use of letters substantially as herein before described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

I CHARLES WILMOT of 34 Brunswick Square Camberwell London, Gentleman,
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 new and improved toy consisting of two figures arranged
in a boxing attitude and mounted upon sticks pivotted one. upon another and held
apart by means of a wire spring.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 shows the toy in its normal position.
Figure 2. shows the same when its two figures are pressed together.
The two figures A and B which represent two boxers in a fighting attitude are
respectively connected by the right feet to two bars or sticks a. b which may also, he
mere prolongations of the legs of the two boxing figures.
These two sticks or bars a-b are joined together by a pin or pivot upon which
they can move freely and being kept apart from one another in the position shown in
Figure by a wire spring S whose ends are fixed upon the two bars a and b. By
pressing these two bars a and b together the toy will assume the position shown in
Figure 2. the boxers striking one another on the face with their fists and when the
two bays a bare repeatedly pressed in the manner described a regular boxing match
will be taking place between the figures and will be productive of considerable
merriment..
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from the
principle thereof, I do not restrict myself to the precise form of the figures to be
used.
Having now. fully described and ascertained the nature of my said improvements
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
An improved toy arranged, constructed and operated substantially as and for the
purpose described.
