Improvements in Bags or Packages.
I GEORGE BARKER of 77 Colmore Row Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Consulting Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention as communi-
cated to me from abroad by Charles Cook Brayley of No. 14 Front Street in the City
of Toronto, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, Accountant, 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 provide a bag or package with a handle by which
the mouth of the bag or package is closed and held closed; and it consists essentially
of two wire bails threaded through the bag near its mouth, so that the end of one bail
will extend along one side of the bag near its mouth and the end of the other bail
extend along the opposite side near its mouth, so that, when the opposite end of the
two bails are drawn out the mouth of the bag is closed by the weight in the bag acting
in conjunction with the bail pressing against its mouth.
Figure 1, is a view of the bag with its mouth open and provided with handles in
accordance with my invention.
Figure 2, is a view of the same bag with its mouth closed.
In the drawing, A, represents a bag which may be made of paper or any other
suitable material and may be any shape desired. The bag shown in the drawing is
substantially rectangular in shape when open, a design commonly used for holding
oysters.
B and C, are two bails, the corresponding legs of which are threaded through the
same holes a, made in each end of the bag as indicated. In order to close the mouth
of the bag A seize one end of each bail and draw upon them which action causes the
opposite end of each bail to press against the side of the bag, drawing the two sides of
the bag close together, when the bails B, and C, may be turned up as shown in
Figure 2. The weight of the article in the bag acting in conjunction with the bails,
arranged as indicated holds the mouth of the bag securely close.
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 bag or package A, provided with bails B. C, threaded or similarly connected to
and near the mouth of the bag; substantially as and for the purpose specified.

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 steam jet pumps or ejectors for raising and forcing
liquids and the object of my invention is to simplify the construction of such
ejectors so that the internal parts can be readily withdrawn to be inspected or
cleaned or when worn out exchanged for other similar parts.
the
The manner in which I prefer to carry my invention into effect is shewn in
accompanying drawings of which
Fig. 1 is a general plan.
Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of an ejector constructed accordingly.
The casing a is formed in one piece with branches or junctions for liquid, for
steam and for delivery of the combined steam and liquid.
The liquid inlet is at d and is screw-threaded for the reception of a similarly
threaded pipe or nozzle, which establishes connection with the liquid that is to be
ejected.
The steam tube b is provided with a shoulder 6' and the casing a is bored out
in such a manner that it receives and fits the said tube with shoulder, and is
externally screw-threaded for the reception of nozzle f to which is attached the
steam inlet pipe h. When the nozzle is screwed up tightly then the tube b is
held firmly in position by means of the convex ending of pipe h.
The discharge tube c is similarly provided with a shoulder c¹ and the casing a
is here likewise bored out in such a manner that it receives and fits the said tube
with shoulder and is externally screw-threaded for the reception of nozzle e to
which is attached the discharge pipe g. When the nozzle e is screwed up tightly
then the tube c is held firmly in position by means of the convex ending g¹ of
the tube g.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The method of constructing liquid ejectors consisting essentially in making
the steam tube and the discharge cone independent of the casing and fitting them
into the latter substantially in the manner as and for the purpose described.
2. The method of employing the connecting steam tube and discharge tube for
holding the steam tube and discharge cone of ejectors in position, substantially in
the manner described.

An Improved Pin for Fixing' Cuffs and for similar purposes.
I, MARY JANE JAENSCH, of Mount Stuart, Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Housekeeper,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The pin is like two pins joined together by joint in the middle, when the pin has
penetrated the material as far as the joint it expands cach way on the underside,
and is fixed securely by means of a spring or catch in the head of pin, when it is
required to be withdrawn, the spring or catch is unloosed and then the top side
expands and the underside closes and allows itself to be drawn like an ordinary pin.
It will take the place of an ordinary pin, and more particularly as a fixer of cuffs
to the sleeve where an ordinary pin is apt either to bend or scratch the wearer, or
to come out and leave the cuff falling over the hand thus giving an untidy
appearance to the most well dressed person. It will penetrate the thickest material
only requiring one push through where it fastens itself on the underside without
any further trouble, and once it is fast no amount of strain or pull will get it out
until taken out by the wearer and lastly, it is so simple and so cheap that it is
within the means of all classes.

I, FREDERICK BAGGOTT of 100 Kilburn Park Road 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:
The object of my invention is improvements in escutcheons and has reference to a
combined escutcheon and key guide for door locks. This said escutcheon is provided
with a tube to fit as a lining in the key hole through that part of the door which is
between the escutcheon and the lock, so as to serve as a guide for the key, and this
combined escutcheon and key-guide is of great advantage for door-locks, where the
key has to be passed through the whole thickness of the door, and where the passage
is liable to get worn, thus making the key hole in the lock difficult to find. And in
order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to describe
the several figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed, all of which figures are-
marked with the like letters of reference throughout.
Fig. 1 is a front view of my improved escutcheon and key guide fixed on a door,
and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, while Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the
combined escutcheon and key-guide alone.
According to my invention I place within the key hole (which is bored through
the thickness of the door) the tubular portion of my improved escutcheon which is
arranged in length according to the thickness of the door. A, shews the door and the C
the lock at back-B is the front part of the escutcheon and D) the tubular portion.
of same, which has a passage through it of equal size to opening E in the front of the
escutcheon.
The said combined escutcheon and key-guide may be made either separate or in one
piece, and secured to the door either by small spikes or the hole in the door may be
made to fit the tube in, so that the guide will be kept in place without any spiking,
and the kind of material used, would for preference be brass, but I do not restrict
myself to any material.
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:
(1) A combined escutcheon and key-guide substantially as hereinbefore described
in this specification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

I, MATTHEW MULLINEUX Junior of 37 Livesey Street, Oldham Road, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Clerk, 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 the easy and accurate adjustment of
braces, shoulder straps, garters belts and other similar articles.
To effect this I make a series of metrical lines or marks on the tongue or fore end
of each brace, shoulder strap, garter, belt or other article. These metrical lines or
marks are placed at equidistant intervals, (-say one inch)-from each other and are
numbered consecutively from one upwards. Or such lines or marks may be so
arranged that each alternate line represents say one inch, and each intermediate line
say, half an inch, and such intermediate lines may be either shorter or longer or of a
different color to the alternate lines. It will be obvious that by adjusting the braces
or other article to the line or mark indicating, say two inches, on each side an exact
and even adjustment will be obtained thus obviating the trouble and annoyance
hitherto experienced in making repeated readjustments, and avoiding the incon-
venience and unsightly appearance, which exist when through negligence or otherwise
such adjustment has not been properly effected. Preferably the metrical lines or
marks are woven into the texture of the braco or other article so as to render them
durable but they may be marked thereon in any other suitable and convenient
manner.
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-
Marking the tongues or fore ends of a pair of braces, shoulder straps, or garters,
or the tongue or fore end of a belt, garter, brace, or other similar article with a series
of metrical lines or marks, placed equidistantly from each other and numbered
consecutively or alternately and in the case of braces or other similar articles where
there are two tongues or fore ends, correspondingly, so as to allow of the ready and
accurate adjustment of the braces or other article so marked, all substantially in the
manner herein before described.

Improvements in Packages for the Packing or Putting-up of
Chloride of Lime, Carbonate of Ammonia, and other Volatile
and Deliquescent Substances.
I. THOMAS NEEDILAM, of Buxton Road, Huddersfield, in the County of York,
Chemist and Druggist, 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 which relates to improvements in the packing or putting up of
chloride of lime, carbonate of ammonia, pearl ash, and other substances which give
off strong or unpleasant odours, as well as substances which are volatile or liable to
deliquesce on exposure to the atmosphere, consists as follows :-
The package is formed of thin wood, cardboard, brown or other paper, or any
other suitable material, in a square oblong or any other suitable shape or
form.
The package may be formed of the shape required either by machinery or by
a hand block.
The package while still empty is completely immersed in boiled linseed oil, (double
boiled is preferred) and on being taken out of the oil a thin layer of oil adheres to
the whole of the exterior and interior of the package and the material, if thin, is
permeated by the oil, and the joints are closed.
The material of which the package is made, and the package itself, is thus
rendered sufficiently impervious for practical purposes to the escape of odours and
to moisture from the atmosphere.
The package after being taken out of the oil is dried and then filled with the
substance such as chloride of lime or one of the others hereinbefore mentioned
and when filled, the ends are fastened with sealing wax, shellac, or any other
adhesive. An outer cover of paper containing printed directions for use of the
substance is then put on the package.
•
I am aware that it has been heretofore proposed to render packages impervious
by using melted wax and other similar substances for the purposes above described.
I have discovered that boiled linseed oil presents advantages for this purpose over
wax and all other substances which have been heretofore used particularly as
regards cost of production and my claim does not extend to the use of any other
substances than boiled linseed oil, or as I prefer, double boiled linseed oil.

I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323, High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil 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 :-
The invention relates to welding metals electrically and is hereinafter fully
described and claimed.
In the drawing,
Figure is a diagrammatic view illustrating one manner of carrying out the
process.
Figure 2 is a similar view illustrating a modification.

A A represent clamps which hold the articles, illustrated as metal rods, B, B, to
be worked. D represents a base on which is set (but insulated therefrom)
conductor C, preferably of refractory material, such as carbon. The ends of the
rods B which are to be heated lie on block C.
EE represent carbons held in a clamp F, but insulated from each other by the
insulation T, each of which is connected by a conductor G with one pole of a
generator of electricity. The lower ends of carbous E E rest on the ends of
rods B, thus establishing an electric circuit through said carbons, the ends of
rods B B, and the carbon block C.
The carbons E E may be omitted and the conductors G G connected directly
with the ends of the rods B B, as in Figure 2, in which case said rods are electrically
connected by block C, with which their ends are in contact.
The operation of the invention is that, by passing a heating current of electricity
through the conductors Cr, the ends of rods B which are in contact with the carbon
block C become heated, when they may be welded together by pressure or worked
in any other desired way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, 1 declare that what I claim is :-
1. The herein described method of electrically welding metals consisting in
connecting each article with one pole of a generator of electricity, making contact
between the ends to be welded and an electric conductor of equal or less resistance,
passing a heating current through said articles and said conductor, and completing
the weld by pressure.
2. The herein described method of working metals electrically consisting in
connecting each article with one pole of a generator of electricity, making contact
between the ends to be welded and an electrical conductor of equal or less resistance,
bassing a heating current through said articles and said conductor.

Improvements in Bolts for Doors, Windows, and the like.
I, ANDREW SMITH of 29, Aldermanbury E.C. Patentee do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
To obviate the difficulty experienced in the usual form of sliding bolts, of turning
the head into its proper notch of the casing when the bolt is shot into position (owing
to the friction between the bolt and its case) I construct the head of the bolt so hinged
to the body of the bolt that the former alone is turned into the notch to prevent the
withdrawal of the latter.

ANDREW SMITH 29 Aldermanbury, Patentee & 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 bolts for doors, windows etc. and consists of a method of
hinging the knob to the bolt rod in the manufacture of what are known to the trade
as socket bolts."
And in order that my invention may be readily understood I will proceed to describe
it in connection with the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference
indicate similar parts.
Figure 1. shows a view of the socket bolt in which the bolt is drawn back.
Figure 2. shews another view in which the bolt-rod is shot into position.
In both cases the knob b. with its body b¹ is hinged upon the bolt-rod a. instead of
being fixed as in the usual form of bolt.
By this construction when the bolt is in either of the positions shewn, the knob
falls easily into the notches c. d. respectively whereas in the common form, owing to
the friction between the bolt rod a. and its casing e. the knob is seldom turned into
position and consequently the bolt is not so securely fastened.
To facilitate the introduction of the bolt rod when manufactured, the bolt plate
can be constructed of the two pieces f. 9. as shewn instead of in one piece as usual.
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.
In the construction of socket bolts, the method of hinging the knob to the bolt bar,
and the method of constructing the bolt plate of the same, substantially and for the
purpose as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Jardinieres or Metal Cases for Flower Pots.
A communication from ANTON REICHE, of Dresden, Saxony, Manufacturer.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, M.I.M.E.,
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 a case for flower pots made of metal for the purpose
of causing the air and heat to circulate round the pots.
Cases for flower-pots have hitherto been made of china, earthenware and the like.
But inasmuch as these materials are bad conductors of heat, they kept the heat from
the flower pot; nor did they admit of a free circulation of air, being entirely closed
at the lower or bottom part; with the result that the earth contained in the pot
became acid which caused the plant to wither and decay.
This invention therefore consists in a case made of metal which is known to be a
good conductor of heat and also in ensuring a free circulation of air by means of
perforations in the walls of such case.
The arrangement will be better understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings in which fig. 1 is an elevation and fig. 2 a vertical section of the flower-pot
case or jardiniere. A is the flower-pot, B the tray dish or saucer placed underneath
it to collect the water and C the case. This case is made as follows;-A suitably
decorated metal hand perforated as shown at c is formed into a tube and soldered at
the joint. The tube thus formed may then be submitted to the action of a press
whereby it is provided at the top and bottom with annular stiffening rims or flanges d d'
so as to make the case rigid. These cases may be manufactured in a variety of sizes
and supplied to the trade in sets or assortments of 6 or 12 at a time, the largest
containing a smaller one, which in its turn contains the next size and so forth, so that
the whole set only takes up the space of one case.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion 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. A metal case for flower-pots made of a band of metal formed into tube shape
and provided with perforations as shown at c (preferably made by a stamp) and with
one or more stiffening rims or flanges such as d preferably formed by means of a
press, for the purpose of ensuring the greater stability of the case substantially as
described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. The metal jardiniere or case for flower-pots substantially as herein described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Machinery used in the Manufacture of Surgical
Lint and similar Fabrics.
I GEORGE FREDERICK EYRE of Ducie Works Corporation Street, Manchester in
the County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion 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 improve the means for adjusting the traverse of
the knife holder and linting knife and my invention will be readily understood on
reference to the accompanying drawings and from the following description.
Fig. 1 of the drawings is an elevation of so much of a linting machine as is
necessary to illustrate the application of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a detached plan in section hereafter referred to.
I connect each end of the sliding table or bar a which carries the knife holder b
and linting knife c by means of a rod or link d to a lever e the other end of which is
slotted as shewn at e¹ the slot being curved and forming part of a circle struck from
the centre of the eccentric f which is connected by the eccentric rod or link g to a
block e capable of sliding in the slot e¹ (see also Fig. 2).
It will be evident that as the end of this rod or link g is moved by the block e²
further from or nearer to the fulcrum e³ of the levere the knife holder b and knife c
will be caused to make a longer or shorter stroke as required.
The distance of the block e² from the fulcrum e is regulated by an adjusting
screw h carried by the lever e and passing through the head of the bolt which
connects the block e² to the link g, the screw h being provided with a small wheel
with a milled edge as shewn, or other convenient means for turning the same.
The knife c is raised from and brought down upon the fabric by an excentric and
spring in the usual way.
The above described mechanism forms an easily constructed and very convenient
means for adjusting the length of the traverse or stroke of the linting knife which is
gradually increased as the said knife becomes blunted.
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 combination in a linting machine with the sliding table knife holder and knife
of the link d the link e with the slot e¹ the sliding block e or its equivalent the.
adjusting screw the link g and eccentric substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the annexed drawings.
