A New or Improved Bayonet or Hunting Knife Socket for
Attachment to Double-barrelled Guns.
I, REGINALD HADDAN of the firm of Herbert & Co., Patent Agents of
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C. London in the County of Middlesex Civil
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention a communication to me from
abroad by Lorenzo Garrigosa y Borrell of Sitjes Barcelona in the Kingdom of Spain
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Heretofore hunting knives have been made with a cross or handle on which is
provided a socket by means of which they may be fastened to guns or rifles and when
such have been made, as for military purposes, with a socket to be passed over a
single barrelled gun, the latter may be fired without removal of the bayonet or
knife-Where however such sockets have been made for double barrelled guns it
has been necessary to remove the knife before firing.
The object of the present invention is to construct a form of socket for double
barrelled guns so that the knife may be readily fixed thereon or detached when
desired, but need not be detached for firing.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new or improved socket as made in one
piece with the cross or hand guard of the knife-Fig. 1 illustrates a portion of a knife
blade a and handle e and of a guard 6 which may be of any desired form-Fig. 2 is a
The socket is
side elevation and Figs. 3 and 4 opposite end views of the socket, m.
made of sufficient length and of exact internal shape to fit onto the muzzles of the
two barrels and hold securely thereon-The projections ƒ and g at the upper end of
the socket prevent the latter from sliding back along the barrels away from the
muzzles-To secure the socket in position it is provided with a spring / carrying
a pinj to engage in a hole drilled in the metal between the barrels of the gun or rifle
on which it is to be fixed.

page_text: 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 handle or cross of a bayonet or with a hunting knife or
the like; of a socket m shaped to fit upon the muzzle of a doubled barrelled gun, and
having projections ƒ and g and spring h with pinj substantially as illustrated' and
described.

A Domestic Grilling Pan.
JAMES WILLIAM DEAN Railway Agent 23 New Oxford Street London W.C.
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:―
A Domestic Grilling Pan is similar to a Frying pan with the centre of the
bottom raised about half an inch to a flat surface with a trench left round the raised
bottom about half an inch wide for the fat to drain into, to be made of iron or
steel.
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. That a person will be able to grill a steak or chop as can be done with an
ordinary gridiron, but in a cleaner manner as the fat will be collected into the trench
instead of with the gridiron running into the fire and over the stove causing
unnecessary dirt to the ranges and stoves.
2. That the Grilling Pan can be used over an ordinary fire without the meat being
smoked, with a gridiron it is necessary to have a clear fire.
3. It is superior to a Frying Pan because meat has a stewed greasy or fatty flavour
when thus cooked due to the meat frying in the fat, but with the grilling pan the
bottom being raised the meat is not stewed or fried the result being that the flavour
of the meat is preserved exactly as when cooked on a gridiron over a clear coke
fire.
4. Peing portable it is suitable for any household and can be made and sold at a.
small cost.

Musical Instrument Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVEMENT IN BANJOS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Improvement consists in making the body of a Banjo of a Calabash Gourd in
combination with a straining hoop of metal. Further in giving the gourd one or more
perforations or sound holes for affecting the quality of tone, and in making the
said straining hoop with notches to receive the hook bolts in order that they may not
project above the vellum head of the instrument, and also for the purpose of keeping
them secured in their places. The gourd used may consist of a half or other suitable
portion, according to the kind or quality of sound desired, the larger bulk giving the
greater body of sound in proportion of bulk to diameter. The strings and the tuning
of them correspond with the method required in Banjo playing.
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. Constructing a Banjo with a body consisting of a half or other portion of a
Calabash Gourd in combination with a straining hoop of metal.
2. Forming the said metal straining hoop with notches to receive the hook bolts.

Improvements in Combined Watches and Studs, Brooches, or
the like.
I, HENRY GEORGE GREEN, of No. 19, President Street, E.C., in the County of
Middlesex Watch Case 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 :-
My invention relates to an improvement in combination time pieces, or watches,,
and studs, solitaires, brooches, and similar articles of personal jewellry and con-
sists in mounting the works and face of the watch, or time piece, in a casing
consisting of two parts connected together by a stem adapted to pass through a
button hole, or like orifice; the two portions of the casing lying on opposite sides
of the fabric, or material, wherein the button or other hole is formed, and serving
to secure the watch, or time piece therein.
In order that my invention, and the means by which it is to be carried into
practical effect, may be thoroughly understood, I will now describe them in detail,
referring in so doing to the accompanying drawing which is to be taken as part of
this specification and read therewith.

biscuit 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 consists in an improvement in biscuits intended for use as food
principally for dogs, but which may also serve as food for fowls.

The quantity of water suitable for mixing with the above is approximately 3
gallons.
The biscuits are mixed, baked and prepared in the manner usual in the manufacture
of such preparations, that is to say, the flesh meat having first been cut up or minced
is mixed in a vessel with the flour, ground malt and water. In this vessel are the
usual agitators by which the compound is stirred and mixed.
When the ingredients have been sufficiently mixed and the mixture has arrived at
the desired degree of consistency, it is removed from the mixing vessel and made

kind. Thence the divided tablets or slabs are conveyed through the baking oven on
the usual endless traveller and emerge therefrom baked.
When used as food for poultry the biscuits are previously 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 1
claim is :-
In the manufacture of dog biscuits, applicable also as food for fowls, the incorpora-
tion, as an ingredient, of a proportion, varying from ten to thirty per cent.,
approximately, of ground malt, sifted and subsequently mixed with other ingredients,
such as flour, flesh meat and water, substantially as hereinbefore described.

Bickford's Patent Colliery Fuse Lighters.
I, HUBERT TREWEEKE ROBINSON, Camborne, Cornwall, Accountant, 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 :-
In the Specification No. 391* of 1887 are described several forms of appliances for
effecting ignition of safety fuses without exposing flame or sparks, so to avoid danger
in an inflammable or explosive atmosphere. The appliance described with reference
to Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings annexed to the said Specification and known as
Bickford's patent colliery fuse lighter consists of a metal tube into which the end of
the fuse is inserted meeting a fuse plug next to which there are laid a mixture of
chlorate of potash and sugar and globule containing sulphuric acid. By introducing
a soft wad and closing the end of the tube by squeezing it flat, the contents are
retained in position.
When it is desired to ignite the fuse, the part of the tube occupied by the globule of
acid is squeezed so as to break the globule, and the acid thus liberated acts on the
mixture producing flame which ignites the fuse.
The present invention relates to a tool for operating on a fuse lighter of the kind
referred to, with safety and certainty, as I shall explain referring to the accompanying
drawings. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the tool shewing it closed upon a
lighter, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the tool open. The tool is in the form of
a pair of pliers. Both the lower jaw A and the upper jaw B have projecting lips a
and and the upper jaw has side cheeks C so that when the jaws are closed together
there is formed within them a closed chamber containing that part of the lighter tube
which contains the wad. The distance of the lips a and b from the inner end of the
chamber is such that when the lighter tube T is introduced between the jaws, the
lips a and b coincide with that part of the tube where the globule of acid is situated.
On closing the jaws together, it is only this part of the lighter tube that is squeezed

page_text: by the lips a and b, fracturing the globale and producing ignition. The waded and W
of the tube being entirely within the chamber formed by the closing of the pliers, no
flame or sparks can escape.
In each shank of the pliers is formed a semicircular hollow E. After the end of
the safety fuse I is inserted in the tube, that part of the tube which encloses the
end of the fuse can be placed between the shanks at E and squeezed by closing the
pliers so as to hold the fuse F firmly in 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 tool for operating on patent colliery fuse lightors, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.

Improvements in Lock-nuts.
1, MEPHAN FERGUSON, of Carlton Foundry, Leicester Street, Carlton, in the
Colony of Victoria, engineer, 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 of improvements in lock-nuts has been devised for the purpose of
providing a simpler, cheaper, and more efficient lock-nut than any that have hereto-
fore been in use. It consists in a nut constructed as shewn in the accompanying
drawing, in which,―
Figure 1 is a plan of it as it appears before it is quite finished, so shewn in order
that its construction may be the better explained.
Figure 2 is a similar view to Figure 1, but illustrating the nut in a more advanced
stage of manufacture.
Figure 3 is a similar view of such a nut when completed, and,―
Figure 4 is a vertical section thereof; whilst,-
Figures 5, 6, and 7 are views illustrating various applications of lock-nuts
constructed according to my invention.
In constructing these lock-nuts, a thick ring or boss A is formed upon their outer
faces, the said rings having projections a a provided at intervals around their outer
edges, as illustrated in Figure 1. Saw-cuts B are made through these rings in
positions close alongside these projections a a, as illustrated in Figure 2, and after
the nut has been tapped, a suitably shaped die is pressed over the ring A, whereby
those portions thereof where the projections a a are situated, are pressed inwards, as
illustrated in Figure 3, so that the inwardly projecting edges C of the threads will
effectually prevent the unlocking of the bolt by digging or cutting into the threads
thereon after the manner of a chasing tool, whilst they will allow the nut to be screwed
on to said bolt with comparative ease.
Thus it will be evident that I am enabled by my invention to obtain a simple
yet efficient lock-nut, whose main portion or body is not weakened or altered as to
form in any way.
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 lock-nut having a split projecting ring such as A wherein a certain portion of
the threads are pressed inwards so that they prevent the unlocking of the bolt by
digging or cutting into the threads thereon after the manner of a chasing tool,
whilst they allow the nut to be screwed onto the said bolt with comparative ease;
substantially as and for the purpose specified and as illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.

& JOSEPH CARPENTER Watch Maker 31 Albert Road Penge 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 consists of a watch case with a musical instrument attatched, so when
the lid is opened the block (where the watch hangs) springs up which causes the
music to play (wbich is underneath). The case which is an ordinary watch case has
a block in the centre, attatched to the front of the case by 2 hinges. Underneath is a
spring which sends the block up immediately the lid is opened. A small piece of
steel wire about 1 in. long is also attatched under the block so that when it is closed it
touches the fly of the musical instrument & stops the playing immediately. Also is
attatched at one end under the block a small cord which passes over 2 pulleys & the
other end is fastened to the lid of the case, so when the lid is opened it allows the
cord to be loose & the block to fly up which lifts the wire from the fly & allows
the musical instrument to play.

An Improved Manufacture of Chains.
I, JEAN JULES LAFFITTE, of 23 Boulevard de Strasbourg, Paris, France, Operative,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
My invention relates to an improved manufacture of chains with brazed links,
whereby a chain is produced having a strength equal to that of the iron or steel of
which the links are made.
For this purpose I employ for the links, pieces of iron or steel of a half-round
section, with sloped or bevilled ends which, when the piece is bent round to form the
link, lie upon each other and form the brazed joint. The brazing may be effected
in any known manner, but by preference I effect it with the interposition of a thin
sheet of brazing metal as described in a prior patent granted to C. D. Abel (being a
communication from me) dated 11th February 1882 No. 672. For forming a completo
link, I take two of the half-round links formed as above described and I apply them
with their flat sides together, but with thoir soldered joints at opposite ends, so that
each end consists one half of solid metal and the other half of a brazed joint. The
two half links are then brazed together, also by preference with the interposition of a
sheet of brazing metal.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Strike-leather for Horses' Legs.
I, AUGUST BAUMBACH of 22 Alte Waage Braunschweig in the Empire of Germany,
saddler 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 :-
In order to prevent horses from hurting themselves by striking the hoof of one leg
against the other leg it is usual to fasten a leather or rubber shield round the legs
just above the hoof joints, and my invention relates to a special construction of such
strike leather.
The manner in which I prefer to carry my invention into effect is shewn in the
accompanying drawings of which fig. 1 shows the complete contrivance and fig. 2 & 3
are details.
According to my invention I take two pieces of stout leather a & b, the one piece b
I provide with slits d (fig. 2) and both I then shape in such a manner that, when they
are joined together as in fig. 1, the edges touch while there is formed in the middle
a channel all round, that is to say one of or both the leathers are bulged out in
opposite directions, the manner of bulging being shewn in fig. 3.
Through the slits d in leather b are passed the ends of leather pieces c, which are
provided with holes or eyes g and h. By passing a pin or a string through eyes h,
such leather pieces are prevented from slipping out of slits d and in similar manner
a string or strap f is passed through eyes 9 in order to give stability.
The pieces a and b are sewn together and a buckle e serves to fasten the contrivance
round the horses leg.
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 :
An improved strike leather for horses legs constructed essentially as described and
shewn in the drawings.

page_text: We, PEARCY JOHN HARDING, CHARLES FREDERICK HARDING, and JAMES ARTHUR
HARDING, Trading as George Harding and Sons of 2 & 27 Long Lane Southwark
Surrey, Tin plate Workers, 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 designed to supply an improved strainer for use inside the
ordinary Fish Kettle or Fish Fryer whether round oval oblong square, or of any
other shape.
The strainer at present in use consists of a perforated metal plate or wire frame fitting
easily inside the kettle pan or pot, and having two metal straps one at each end by
means of which it is lifted out of the vessel without disturbing the fish.
When however the strainer is thus lifted out a difficulty is often found in transferring
the cooked fish to a dish, as even when great care is taken it is often broken and
rendered unsightly at this stage of the proceedings and this is especially the case if
the fish is a little overcooked.
Our improved strainer overcomes this difficulty by opening lengthways along its
centre line allowing the fish to fall slowly and steadily into the dish. To effect this we
construct the strainer of two halves having by preference a lap of about an inch, or
inch and a half, with a stop to prevent the required lap being exceeded. Each half of the
fish strainer is furnished with metal straps for lifting, and these halves are either
pivotted together at one end, or the metal straps are pivotted near their upper
extremity, so that the two halves form practically one strainer when the fish is being
cooked upon them in the kettle, or when it is being lifted out of the cooking vessel.
Additional handles are provided at the sides of the strainer and these are so formed as
to fold outwards but not inwards, so that they cannot fall on and damage the fish.
These handles afford a ready means of drawing the strainer open.
In the drawings which accompany this application it will be seen that Fig. 1. shews
a view in perspective of one of our improved strainers closed, and Fig. 2 shews
the same opening on two pivots to allow the fish to fall through. Fig. 3, shews a
fish strainer opening on one end pivot for same purpose.
A' A' are the two halves. B. B. are the pivots. C. C. are the two side handles.
D

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.
(1) A strainer for fish-cooking vessels having its horizontal plate formed in two
parts connected by a free rivet or rivets forming a pivot or pivots, so that the. strainer
can be opened along its middle when required by means of handles provided for the
purpose.
