Improvements in Waistcoats.
I, CHARLES Cox of 50 South Molton Street London, W. Tailor, 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:—
A waistcoat as ordinarily made comprises a body part provided with collar and
arm holes through which the arms of the wearer are passed.
Now this invention for improvements in waistcoats has for its object to produce a
waistcoat especially suitable for "dress" purposes, where it is desired to exhibit a
considerable expanse of shirt front, for hot climates, and generally for evening and
indoor wear or where it is desirable to retain the maximum of freedom of the upper
part of the body while presenting an elegant front for appearance, comfort, and to
cover the upper edge or extremity of the trousers; and consists essentially in
forming a waistcoat of a band containing the necessary pockets and passing round
the body of the wearer to which it is secured by buttons in the ordinary manuer,
and adjusted by means of suitable straps and buckles or their equivalents.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings
Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a double breasted waistcoat and Figure 2
a similar view of a singlebreasted waistcoat fashioned according to this invention.
A band a provided with pockets b passes round the body of the wearer and is
secured by buttons c in the ordinary manner, and further adjusted to fit the shape
of the wearer by means of the buckles d and straps e at the back thereof. It will
thus be seen that a waistcoat so formed exhibits a great portion of the shirt front f.
and permits of great freedom to the upper part of the body while effectually
covering the upper edge of the trousers.
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 waistcoat comprising a band for passing round the body of the wearer and
secured in position by buttons, and adjusted by means of back straps substantially
as described.
2. The arrangement and combination of the various parts constituting my
improved waistcoat substantially as described with reference to the drawings
hereunto annexed.

I, REGINALD HADDAN Patent Agent of the firm of Herbert Haddan and Co.
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C. London do hereby declare the nature of this
invention a communication to me from abroad by Constant Vryghem of Lille in
the Republic of France Manufacturer 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 in a improved thread or yarn dryer and it is intended
principally for drying threads after they have been dressed and before they are
wound on the warp beam but it applicable generally for drying a number of threads
simultaneously.
Within a suitable chamber is mounted a freely revolvable drum the ends of
which are provided with openings and the circumference formed of parallel longi-
tudinal slats at convenient distances apart so that the drum forms in effect a skeleton
drum like frame. The threads are carried round suitable guiding rollers and
encircle this skeleton drum for about three quarters or more of its circumference
before passing round other guiding rollers to be wound on the warp beam or other
receiver. The drum is revolved by the motion of the thread, but within the drum
is a rotary atmospheric agitator or suitable pallet bladed fan revolved by power in a
direction contrary to that of the threads and agitating the air and causing it to
blow about the threads. The air is heated by steam pipes or equivalent means.
The annexed drawing illustrates such machine in cross section. Its length is
equivalent to the number of threads simultaneously treated.
These arrive over rollers R¹ S G and pass around drum P to rollers H and I
and thence to the warp beam Q. T are steam pipes J J openings in the ends of
the drum P slats of the circumference of the drum. B the general framework
and B¹ the casing or chamber in which the drum P lies. A is the ventilator or
atmospheric agitator or fan and A¹ the pallets thereof. It may be revolved by
power, fast and loose pulleys being placed on its shaft A².
The improved construction of dryer presents the advantage of drying more
thoroughly and of exposing a greater length of thread to the drying air so that it
may be operated with about double the speed of dryers in use, thus saving in fuel
for any given length of thread dried and also in attendance.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A yarn or thread dryer having a freely revolvable rotary skeleton drum around
which the thread or yarn to be dried passes and a ventilator or air agitator or fan
within the drum adapted to circulate the air between the thread or yarn thereon
substantially as described.

follows:-
In a skid-shoe for railway carriages the continuation of the upper surface is

which are arranged to turn in the casing of the skid-shoe.
By this arrangement the shocks which injuriously affect the journal-bearing, the
bearing casing, and the lower part of the carriage-frame are considerably deadened,
and the wheel is prevented from running off the skid-shoe as it still continues to
turn without, however, being able to run along the skid-shoe as the rollers through
the friction of the wheel, are caused to rotate in the opposite direction.

An Improvement in Picture Frames.
I, GEORGE ROBERT REID, of 93 Larkhall Rise, Clapham, in the County of
Surrey, 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 the construction of a rectangular frame for a picture,
drawing or other sheet, in such a manner that the four sides of the frame can be
pushed outwards so as to stretch the canvas or other sheet fixed on the front.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is an elevation and Fig. 2 is a section, on
the diagonal, of a frame provided with means, according to my invention, of
simultaneously stretching the four sides.
These sides A are obliquely morticed at each end to receive the ends of two
diagonal bars B which are fixed together where they cross at the middle. On these
two diagonals are fitted to slide four bars C which are held to the diagonals B by
screws passing through slotted boles. The inner ends of the bars C bear against
the periphery of a volute cam D, which can be turned in either direction by a
handle E and can be clamped by screwing up a nut on the axis F on which
it turns.
The outer ends of the sliding bars C are made wedge shaped to fit into the angles
where the ends of the sides A meet each other. By turning the cam D the bars C
are simultaneously pushed outwards from the centre, and they push the sides A
outwards, thus stretching in both directions the canvas or other material which is
fixed on the sides A. The material may be fixed in any known manner; as shewn
in the drawings, the sides A are longitudinally grooved and the edge of the material
is bent into these grooves and held by laths G which are themselves held by turn
buckles or by screws and slotted plates H.
Fig. 3 shews a modified arrangement according to which each angle of the frame
is provided with a separate cam.
In this case, the two sides A' are loosely connected by tenon and mortice, and an
angle piece K, connected to the sides A¹ by screws passing through slotted holes,
carries under it the volute cam D and handle E, by turning which two sliding
pieces Cat right angles to each other are pushed outwards against the two sides A¹
respectively.
The arrangement last described is especially applicable to existing frames.
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 :-
1. The construction of frame for pictures and the like, having its sides, which are
unconnected with each other, pushed outwards by bars moved by a volute cam
mounted on diagonal bars at the back, substantially as described with reference to
Figs. 1 and 2.
2. The modified construction wherein a volute cam with a pair of sliding bars is
applied at each angle of the frame, substantially as described with reference to
Fig. 3.

Improved Train Support and Train-bearer for Ladies' Gowns.
I, PETER JENSEN of 77 Chancery Lane, London Chartered Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a communication to me from
abroad by Charlotte Schiffer of Bunzlau in the Empire of Germany, Milliner, 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 train-support and train-bearer for ladies
gowns and the main object of this new support and bearer is to carry and to hold
the train of a gown in such a manner that the lady wearing the said gown may not
be inconvenienced by the train.
This object is attained by the appliance illustrated in the accompanying drawing,
in which:-
Figure 1 is a vertical section and
Figure 2 a front-view of the train support.
Figure 3 is a vertical section and
Figure 4 a front view of a train-support provided with rollers for carrying the
train.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The train-support consists of longitudinal and cross-bars or flat rails a and a¹
respectively forming a grating or framing which is attached to the inner side of the
train A by means of ribbons b. The longitudinal bars or rails a are bent so as to
hold the train a proper distance from the body of the wearer.
An important feature of the improved train-support is that it gives the train a
good hold and makes it at the same time arrange itself in graceful folds even when
the wearer takes short turnings.
By providing the train-support with small rollers c (Figures 3 and 4) (or it might
be casters) a perfect train-bearer will be produced. The rollers c carrying the
grating or framing a a¹ then keep the train of the gown a proper distance above
the floor or ground.
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.
First. A train-support and train-bearer for ladies' gowns consisting of a bent
grating or framing formed of longitudinal and cross bars or rails and attached to
the inner side of the train substantially as specified.
Second. A train-support and train bearer for ladies-gowns consisting of a bent
grating or framing provided with rollers or casters and attached to the inner side
of the train substantially as specified.

Process or Mode of Making Glass, having an Orange-yellow Color
when the Light Passes Through it, and a Greenish Color when
the Light Falls Upon it.
I, FRANZ WELZ of Klostergrab, Bohemia, Austria, Glass 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 a process or mode of making glass which is of an
orange-yellow color when the light passes through it, and of a greenish color when
the light falls upon it. This glass is worked direct from the melting pot and
requires no subsequent treatment by reheating or flashing.
The process or modo consists in adding selenium and oxide of uranium to the
glass-metal while it is still in the melting pot.
According to the nature of the different glass-metal compositions, which as is
well-known chiefly depends upon whether it is intended to manufacture harder or
softor glass, and according to the desired intensity of the coloring of the glass, the
above named two substances will be added to the glass-metal in greator or smallor
quantities. The relative proportions of the sclouium and oxide of uranium may be
taken approximately as 15 parts by weight of the former to 25 parts by weight of
the latter.
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 process or mode of making glass having an orange-yellow color when the
light passes through it, and a greenish color when the light falls upon it, which
colored glass is to be worked direct from the melting pot, the said process or mode
consisting in adding selenium and oxide of uranium to the glass-metal, substantially
as described.
