Improvements in Feet for Furniture Legs.
I, ROBERT INGHAM, of 70, King Street, Burnley Road, Rawtenstall, in the
County of Lancaster, General Dealer, 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 furniture feet heretofore in use have been principally made of glass in one
piece which are liable to break or get chipped and in most cases do not match the
knobs or other fittings of the respective furniture when made of metal, such as
brass. The object of my invention is to provide a furniture foot which overcomes
the said defects and consists of a block and a jacket or shell used in combination.
with each other or separately.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to be
appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference indicating
like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is an elevation, Fig. 2 a plan and Fig. 3 a vertical section of my improved.
foot for furniture legs constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figs. 4 & 5 shows in elevation and Fig. 6 partly in elevation and partly in section.
various modifications of my improved foot for furniture legs.
In carrying out my invention and referring to Figs. 1, 2 & 3, a is the said block:
made of metal, wood, glass, earthenware or other suitable material plain or orna-
mental in design as may be found most suitable for the various applications and the
base of which may be formed or furnished with short legs a¹. bis the said
jacket or shell preferably blocked out of sheet brass or made of earthenware and
suitably coated in imitation of a jacket or shell made of metal and in configuration.
or design corresponding with that of the block a. This jacket or shell may be used.
in combination with the block a by being placed loosely onto the block a or rendered.
secure thereon as will be found most convenient.
In lieu of using the block a and jacket or shell b in combination with each other
as described, they may be each used separately, as shown in Figs. 4 & 5, respectively,.
the block a being however polished or suitably coated to imitate brass or other
metal and the jacket or shell 6 formed of sheet brass, or the latter may also serve.
to cover existing feet c, which then takes the place of the block a, as shown in:
Fig. 6.
It will be understood that the furniture foot described may be altered in details,.
shape and design as may be found necessary in practice without departing from the
nature of my invention.
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 foot for furniture legs, consisting of a body and jacket or shell, used in
combination with each other or separately, substantially as and for the purpose set-
forth.

I, THOMAS FREDERICK SENIOR 99 Cemetery Road, Sheffield in the County
of Yorkshire, Silversmith's Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same has to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a novel appliance for shaving purposes, being a
combination of a lanp, water vessel and one or more receptacles which form the
base, and are for holding such articles as soap, shaving brush, matches and
the like.
The improved appliance arranged in the manner I prefer is illustrated in the
annexed sheet of drawings, but I wish it to be understood that I do not confine
myself to the particular pattern shown, as it may be made more or less ornamental
in design, and the receptacles may be more or fewer in number.
•
It consists essentially of a fixed or removable water vessel A, placed over a
lamp D, and supported upon a stand C, in combination with set of receptacles E,
(forming the base) of any size, configuration or number, connected by means of
the continuous plate of metal F, which supports the standards C, and is cut out or
otherwise formed in the centre to receive the lamp D.
The handle B, which is shown as a fixture may be made to turn down, or be
otherwise arranged, or in some cases it may be dispensed with altogether.
An appliance so constructed is very convenient for shaving purposes, as it would
usually contain the soap, lather brush, matches to light the lamp, and puff for toilet
powder. Razors are usually kept in a separate case.
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. A shaving appliance consisting of a water vessel A, a stand C, a lamp D,

page_text: and a number of receptacles E, combined and arranged substantially as herein-
before described and illustrated in the drawings.
2. An appliance for use in shaving, consisting of a base constructed to hold
various small shaving requisites, and to carry a lamp suitably arranged to heat a
water vessel supported above it upon a framework.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Tubular Frames for Cycles or
Velocipedes.
I, OTTO SCHLICK, of the Firm of Schlick and Hinkelmann, No. 12 Amalien-
strasse, Dresden, in the Empire of Germany, Cycle 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:-
Cycle or velocipede frames have hitherto been made from tubing having walls
of uniform thickness throughout their length. These frames have the disadvantage
that they are liable to break or give in the parts where they are brazed or
soldered to the connecting-pieces or other parts of the vehicle, by reason of the
weakening of these portions caused by the brazing or soldering and subsequent
working thereof. This is the case in all frames hitherto made, whether formed
from tubing of large or small diameter.
According to the present invention I avoid this weakness by thickening or
strengthening the walls of the tubing in the manner shown in the accompanying
drawing especially in the said places where giving or breaking is liable to take
place. It must be specially noted that this thickening leaves no shoulder or
interruption of the continuity of outline but the thickened and normal or unthickened
portions gradually run into each other.
Figure 1 shows a portion of a frame, cylindrical externally, the end of the tube
being conically thickened internally, the thickened portion running gradually into
the rest of the tube.
Figure 2 shows a portion of a frame the end of the tube being thickened
externally and cylindrical internally.
In Figure 3 the thickening of the tube is produced both on the inner and outer
sides.
Figure 4 shows a connecting or T-piece which has a tapering thickening of the
tube in the middle.
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 frame for cycles or velocipedes in which the walls of the tubes employed are
gradually or taperingly thickened at the portions where brazing or soldering is.
effected and at other portions, substantially as described.

A communication from EDOUARD HOCHHEIM, of München, Gladbach, in the
Empire of Germany, Mechanical Engineer.
I ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,.
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 an improvement in devices for spraying water through:
a nozzle or mouth-piece such as are now used for damping air.
The invention consists of a spraying device in which a single jet of water, directed.
downwards or upwards, is projected against a conical hollow in a fixed block, so as
to produce a cone of spray in the opposite direction.
The cone shaped hollow may be formed in various ways, or even may be
dispensed with entirely, a flat circular disc being substituted for it; in which case
the jet of water, in a more or less finely divided spray is projected either
horizontally or with a more or less flat conical section.
The
The spraying device comprises a nozzle D (Fig. 1) with a conically formed
exterior, and placed in front of the plug K fitted with the conical hollow v.
nozzle is screwed on to the pipe R; and the yoke or bow B attached to it serves
to hold and adjust the plug K. The water-jet issues with great force from the-
nozzle D against the conical hollow thereby forming the hollow cone of water-
spray shown in Fig. 1. The plug K is prevented from vertical displacement by
the plate-spring f
The direction of the cone of spray may be varied by giving a different form to.
the hollow in the plug, which may vary from an acute-angled cone down to a plane
surface as shown in Figure 2.
It is obvious that the apparatus is capable of various modifications without
departing from the principle of the invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :--
An apparatus for damping air or for ventilation in which a single jet of water at
high pressure is projected against the surface of a solid plug so that the water is:
broken in a more or less fine spray issuing all round either horizontally or in the
form of a cone according as the surface of the plug varies from a flat disc to a
conical hollow of more or less acute angle substantially as described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.

My invention is an improvement in dress-holders. I use two spring clips or
fasteners attached to each other by a small chain or otherwise, one fastener taking
the lower part of the dress, the other, reversed in position, taking the upper part
of the dress, thus requiring no pinning and doing away with any cord or waist
attachment. That part of the spring fastener or clip holding the dress will be in
the shape of a roller or otherwise, there being nothing that will tear or damage the
dress.

An Improved Louvre Chimney Top.
FREDERICK REGINALD STROVER 31 Stephendale Road Fulham, S.W.
Architects Assistant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A chimney top formed of 3 tiers of louvres, each tier consisting of an outer
circular louvre, to the inside of which about 3 inches from the lower outer edge is
fixed at an angle of 60 degrees a reversed louvre perforated in a line round with
twelve circular holes about 2 in. in diameter.
With open top, and a plain shaft below varying to suit circumstances of
cases.
;
Through these 36 holes the air passes under the louvres and drives the sinoke up
through the top thus creating a powerful up current.
In rough weather the wind is prevented from entering the flue from the top by
striking the reversed louvres and simply passing through the inside of the chimney
top to the outside.

I, AUGUST HERMANN DAMKOEHLER Manufacturer, of 69 Friedrichstrasse
Friedrichshagen near Berlin Germany 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 present invention relates to atomizers for use in connection with perfume
& other liquids & consists in replacing the rubber or other elastic ball hitherto
employed to produce the necessary air pressure by a double action pump as here-
inafter described.
And in order to make this Specification more easily understood, reference is had
to the accompanying drawing which shows a vertical section through a vessel
provided with my improved atomiser.
a
As will be seen from the drawing the construction of the tube with its end in
the liquid & the nozzle from which the jet issues are of the usual kind.
Instead of the rubber ball usually employed the top of the tube "
" is provided
with a piston "&" fitting a closed cylinder "c." On working the cylinder up &
down on the piston the device will work in the manner of a double action pump and
will produce an uninterrupted spray at the jet nozzle.
If desired a spring may be provided within the cylinder in order to push the same
upwards automatically, such alteration involving no departure from the present
invention. The cylinder may also be arranged to work in one direction only and
thus produce an interrupted spray at the nozzle.
Atomizers of the present kind are much more durable than those hitherto
employed, they are also less expensive to make and have the advantage that
they may be employed in connection with any kind of cork, or screw closure.
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 atomizer for perfume and other liquids in which the usual rubber or other

I, ANDREW GEORGE ADAMSON, of 136 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, Photo-
graphic Artist, 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 improvements in and connected with the developing of
photographs.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings which I
shall now proceed to describe.
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a side sectional elevation illustrating
the water wheel and developing apparatus constituting my invention.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a rocking-table A, which is
connected to a fixed bearing or framework B by means of pivoted brackets B¹
or other suitable arrangement. To one side of this rocking-table A and connected
to it by means of a crank C and connecting-rod D, or other convenient arrangement,
there is a sinall water-wheel E. This water-wheel is connected to the said
framework B by struts or rods b, and is placed under a tap F, which may be
coupled by rubber tubing to any convenient water supply. This tap F is kept
constantly running, so that as the cups, pockets, or chambers e in the wheel E get
filled, the wheel revolves, and this causes the rocking-table A carrying the bath or
baths G, in which the photographs being developed are, to move to and fro, thus
allowing the liquid to pass regularly over the whole of the photographs being
developed.
By my improvements it will thus be seen that better developing must be the
result, besides it obviates the necessity of the attendant being always in
attendance.
The developing baths I prefer to have much longer than those presently in
use, so that the developing mixture sweeps completely over the plate which is
held in its place by two small studs, thus obviating the risk of partial or unequal
development.
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 apparatus for developing photographs constructed and operating in the
manner substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown
on the accompanying sheet of drawings.

In the accompanying drawing, the crown of the hat is marked A, and the brim B.
In the crown A, the straws C are placed singly side by side, and each separate
straw knotted closely together by threads D, commencing at the centre of the top H
of the crown A until the bottom N of the crown is reached.
The crown A being thus made, to make the brin B the first row of straw plait E.
is sewn by stitches of thread G, to the bottom N of the crown A. The second row
of straw plait K is sewn to the first row of straw plait E by stitches of thread F.
The third row of straw plait M is sewn to the second row of straw plait K by
stitches of thread P. (Any number of rows of straw plait may be used in the brim,
according to the width of brim required or according to the width of the straw
plait used.)
The hat is then stiffened, blocked and trimmed.
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 :-
That the combination of the brim B made in the manner described, with the-
crown A made in the manner described is entirely novel.

Improvements in Cycles.
I, CHARLES TARLING of 109, Coburg Road, Old Kent Road, London S.E.
Map Mounter, 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 cycles and in accordance therewith
I have two sprocket wheels each having a separate chain gearging. The pedals
are mounted separately one upon each sprocket wheel; and in order that this my
invention may be fully understood and readily carried into effect I will proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings and the letters and
figures of reference marked thereon that is to say:
-
Fig. 1. is a side elevational view of a safety bicycle fitted with my improvements
and Fig. 2. is a plan to an enlarged scale of the double sprocket wheel arrangement
and pedals affixed to the rims of the wheels. Similar letters of reference indicate
like parts in each of the figures.
Though here illustrated as applied to a bicycle it will be understood that these
my improvements are equally applicable to tricycles and other cycles having chain
gearing.
In the drawings a a are the sprocket wheels upon the spindle b of which are
mounted the pedal cranks c. The pedals d are attached or connected to the rims
of the sprocket wheels a by nuts and bolts e. fare the gear chains and
the gear
wheel on driving wheel spindle h.
g
By this arrangement of pedals and sprocket wheel and gearing a greater speed is
obtainable with less exertion than with the present arrangement of pedals and
gearing.
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. The improvements in cycles substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
set forth and shewn in the drawings.
2. In cycles the arrangement and combination of two separate sprocket wheels -
and chain gearing with pedals affixed to the rims of said sprocket wheels all
constructed and operating substantially as and for the purposes herein before
described and shewn.

Improvements in or connected with Corset Fasteners.
I, MAX HIRSCH, of 41, Kaiserstrasse, Berliu, S.E. Manufacturer of Corsets, 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 to enable corset-fastenings to be opened with one
pull, so as to obviate the tedious opening of the separate eyelet-holes; and the
following is a description of the invention, reference being had to the annexed
drawings, in which
1
Figure represents the eyelet-holes closed, and
Figure 2 shews them open.
According to this invention, there are provided open eyelet holes which are
riveted onto a busk bars; each eyelet hole is provided with a book-lever e which is
movable on the pirott. The ends of the hook-levers c are pivoted at t¹ to a movable
guide bar d, the upper end of which is provided with a movable fastening or flap /
provided with a hole into which, when the flap is turned over, the pin on the bar
engages; is a cord attached to the hook lever guide rod d.
If it is desired to open simultaneously the eyelet holes, which in Figure 1 are
represented closed, the closing flap is turned down (as in Figure 2) and by a pull
at the cord the hook-lever-guide is brought into the position drawn in Figure 2,
whereby all the eyelet holes are opened, so that by moving the part of the corset
which is provided with hooks sideways, the opening of the corset is accomplished.
In the closed position represented in Figure 1, the closing flap, which is
turned upwards, serves to prevent the fastenings from being unintentionally
opened.
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. A corset fastener comprising the open eyelet holes riveted onto the corset
busk bars, upon which (evelet-holes) the hook-levers c are arranged to move, the
latter being connected with the guide d in such a manner that by moving the guide
up and down, the hooks c open or close the eyelet-holes; and the closing flap f
provided with a hole, and the pin y, whereby the guide d is fastened.
2. The improvements in or connected with corset fastenings substantially as
described and shewn in the drawings hereto annexed.

A Method of Carburetting the Surfaces of Armour Plates.
1. FREDERIC STUBBS, of Edgegate, Osborne Road, Sheffield, in the County
of York, Metallurgist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
-
My invention relates to the carburetting of the surfaces of armour plates so as
to render the surface metal of such character that on being suitably tempered, it
has the hardness and strength desired to resist penetration by projectiles.
For this purpose, I subject the plate to cementing action by keeping fused on its
surface for a time a layer of cast iron or other metal or alloy containing a con-
siderable proportion of carbon. This may be effected by supporting the plate with
its lower surface, which is to be cemented, immersed in the molten metal below it,
but it may be more conveniently done by bedding the plate in suitable refractory
material in the furnace, having the molten metal above it to cement its upper
surface.
