Improved Toe and Heel Tips for Boots and Shoes.
JAMES LONGHURST WEST 3 West Street Dorking Surrey Boot Maker 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:-
These improved toe and heel tips are bevelled towards the inner side to a thin
edge so that when fixed they will be level to the soles, and heels, not requiring to
be let in the leather, or to be filled up, to bring them to a level.
I effect my object in the following way, by taking away the under edge on the
inside and ends of ordinary tips, causing the top edge on the inside and ends, to
come level with the leather, or by taking away the top edge on the inside and ends,
and leaving the under edge level with the surface of the leather, both ways leaving
the outside edge its usual substance.
These tips are to be made in different shapes and sizes, suitable for all shapes
and sizes of boots and shoes. To be made of cast brass or malleable iron and
fixed on the boots with ordinary brass and iron plugs, used for fixing tips in the
ordinary way.
But take notice, I do not claim the mode of fixing.
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 as new is ;
First. The reducing to a thin edge of these tips on the inside and ends, causes
the tips to lay flat on the leather.
Second. They are lighter in weight.
Third. Saving of labour in fixing as they do not require to be filled up.

New or Improved Elastic Reins for Driving and Riding
I EDWARD THOMAS HUGHES, of 38 Chancery Lane, London W.C. Patent
Agent, (a communication to me from Paul Koechlin, of 9 Rue de Florence, Paris,
France, Cloth 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 has for its object the driving of horses in a sure and gentle
manner by suppressing the double leather rein and using instead thereof, a single
leather rein and a rein of india-rubber or other clastic material which according
to circumstances is attached either to the "snaffle-bit," or, in the absence of a
"snaffle," to the upper bend of the curb-bit.
In the accompanying drawing, the single driving rein is indicated by the
letter A. It is buckled to the lower part of the curb-bit M.
My clastic rein B is fixed by a buckle (at each side) to the snaffle-bit, and is
connected to the driving-rein A at the point a, by a buckle capable of adjustment
with regard to the height of the crupper of the horse.
The driving of a horse bridled in this manner, is effected practically by means of
the "snaffle." The elastic rein B is lightly held whilst the rein A is suffered to
remain slack.
The elasticity of the rein B, renders it agreeable to a horse having a delicate
mouth and prevents irritation.
same,
The driver is not inconvenienced by double reins, but still possesses the if
not greater, control over the horses mouth.
When the driver attempts to pull the horse up, the first result is to stretch the
elastic rein B, and further tension brings the leather rein from a to b, into play,
thus avoiding jerking.
If a snaffle-bit is not used, the elastic rein is fixed to the part of the curb-bit.
In the drawing this alternative method of applying the rein is indicated by the
letter C, the point of attachment of the leather rein, being unattached.
As will be seen, my improved rein is applicable to horses whether driven by
curb or snaffle, or both, thus affording great advantages over the ordinary means of
driving.
It is also applicable either for single or double harness and for riding.
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 use of a rein of india-rubber or other clastic material for driving or riding,
in manner substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.

Improved Stand or Holder for Umbrellas, Sticks, and the like.
I, LOUISA GOODALL, of 7, Bartlett's Buildings, Holborn, in the County of
Middlesex, trading as H. A. Goodall & Co. (a communication to me from
G. I. Blümlein, of No. 2, Tucher Strasse, Nürnberg, Merchant), 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 improved stand or holder for walking sticks,
umbrellas and the like, the holder being so constructed that it may be readily fixed
to the back or side of the framework of a chair, whereby it is rendered
particularly adapted for use in restaurants, concert rooms, and other public places.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 represents a general view of the holder;
Fig. 2 the upper part of the same, with the fixing clip open. Fig. 3 shows holder
fixed to chain and Figs. 4, 5, and 6 details hereinafter described.
The holder consists of a piece of stout wire which is bent into two pairs of
loops a, b, a', ', with an intermediate connecting rod c, the loops being at right angles to
the rod. To apply to a chair, the loop a¹ is passed over the foot of the chair-leg d
and the loop a is opened as shown in Fig. 2, and passed around the back of the
chair, as shown at e, to which it is secured by springing the free end c¹ of the wire
into an eye at c², which is formed by the bending of the wire.
The stick or umbrella passes through the loops band b¹, and the tip may either
rest upon the ground, or it may rest in a cup f, see Fig. 4 which will be
supported by, or attached to the loop b', which may be made smaller than shown,
so that the point of the stick shall not rest on the ground.
Fig. 5 shows a form of holder adapted to be fixed to the book shelves of pews in
churches or chapels. The loop a is made small in this case, and a screw is passed
through it, upon which the holder can turn, so as to be readily pushed underneath
the shelf when not required. Fig. 6 shows a similar adaptation to the chairs of
theatres &c., where the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, is not admissable for want of
space.
It will be readily seen that the apparatus may be constructed in a variety
of forms, and of any suitable material, such as cane, for instance without departing
from the essential features of the invention.
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 :-
1. A stand or holder for umbrellas and the like constructed in manner and for
the purpose substantially as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
2. A stand or holder such as described, provided with a fixed or detachable cup,
substantially as described and illustrated in Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Adhesive Plasters.
I, RICHARD KIDDER GREGORY, of Greensborough, in the County of Guilford
and State of North Carolina, United States of America, Doctor of Medicine, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ADHESIVE
PLASTERS, 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 adhesive plasters; and it consists in a fabric of cotton,
linen, or other porous or absorbent material saturated with a compound consisting
of gum-turpentine (purified turpentine in its natural state as exuded from the pine-
tree), about six pounds; alcohol, about one gallon; tannic acid, about four ounces;
cane-sugar, about one pound; gum-camphor (purified camphor of commerce), about
four ounces; bichloride of mercury, about one-half dram; carbolic acid, about eight
ounces; muriate of cocaine, about two drams.
The fabric, which may be of any suitable size or shape, is dipped in or coated
with the compound and may be used as soon as prepared or any time hereafter.
The plaster is placed over the wound, the cut parts being carefully drawn
together. The heat of the body is sufficient to cause the plaster to adhere firmly
to the part.
This plaster, besides having superior adhesive properties, possesses, of course, the
hemastatic, styptic, antiseptic, and anæsthetic properties of the compound, and is of
great value in the treatment of wounds.
One side of the fabric of which the plaster is formed may, if desired, be coated
with rubber or other water-proof material.
The ingredients of the plaster being insoluble in water cold-water dressings may
be applied, when necessary, over the plaster or bandage.
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 :-
:-
1. An adhesive plaster consisting of a fabric coated or impregnated with gum-
turpentine, alcohol, tannic acid, cane-sugar, gum-camphor, bichloride of mercury,
carbolic acid, and muriate of cocaine.
2. The herein-described medical compound, consisting of gum-turpentine, alcohol,
tannic acid, cane-sugar, gum-camphor, bichloride of mercury, carbolic acid, and
muriate of cocaine, in about the proportions specified.

Improvements relating to the Decks of Ships.
I, JOHN EBENEZER BOUSFIELD, of the firm of G. F. Redfern & Co., the
General Patent Office, No. 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the County of Middlesex,
Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to
me by La Compagnie Générale Transatlantique of 6, Rue Auber, Paris, in the
Republic of France) 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 the decks of metal ships.
Hitherto it has generally been the case that the planks of wood placed on metal
decks have been fastened thereto by screws or bolts passing through tubes whereby
it has been impossible to render such decks watertight, water falling on the wood
passing through the metal deck by the holes for the bolts or screws.
The said invention has for its object to obviate this inconvenience and to this end
I provide improved means for fastening the planks to the metal deck.
In carrying out the invention screw studs are rivetted to the metal deck and pass
up through holes in the plank into recesses therein. Nuts are then applied to the
studs and the recesses are closed by means of plugs. In some cases nuts
are rivetted to the metal deck and the screws are inserted into the same through
the planks.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a sectional view showing the arrangement wherein a stud and nut are
employed, and
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the arrangement of a fixed nut and a
screw.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
a indicates the iron deck, the wood planking, c, c the screws and d, the nuts.
As shown in Figure 1 each screw c is provided with a shoulder e and is rivetted
to the metal deck a at fas shewn, the wooden planking b being thea fixed to the
deck by a nut d.
In the arrangement shown in Figure 2 the nut d is rivetted to the iron deck
at f, a screw c passed through the wooden planking being screwed into the nut.
9, 9 are the plugs used to close the holes formed for the screws and nuts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) The method of securing wood planking to metal decks by rivetting the screws
or bolts for fixing the wood, or nuts for receiving the screws to such metal decks
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
(2.) The improved means for fastening wooden planking to metal decks, substan-
tially as hereinbefore described.

Improvements in Spring Mattresses.
I, SAMUEL THOMAS FAWKES of 9 Albert Terrace, Ordnance Road, Hounslow
in the County of Middlesex, Upholsterer 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 :—
This invention for improvements in spring mattresses has for its object to
construct a mattress which shall be easily and expeditiously put together when
required for use, and which, when not in use, can be quickly taken apart and
packed in a small compass for convenience in transit, or for storage, and consists
essentially in arranging and connecting the various constituent parts in such a
manner that, by means of bolts hooks and other detachable fastening devices the
whole may be readily connected or disconnected.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings,
Fig. 1 represents a vertical longitudinal section of a spring mattrass constructed
according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan showing the coverlid partly removed.
Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section and
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the same.
The main frame comprises the two end battens a and side battens & detachably
secured together by winged nuts and bolts d passing through lugs e secured to the
battens b by the bolts f; and a longitudinal batten whose ends are secured to the
battens and which is supported at its centre by the cross rail or beam attached
to the side battens a. Secured to the side battens a are ledges i which, together
with the batten g support the cross laths k carrying the springs to which they are
attached by the plates m, the ends of the said laths resting in recessed seats in the
ledges i to retain them in their proper positions. The springs are held in their
proper relative transverse positions by means of chains n which are secured to each
spring, their ends being fastened by hooks or their equivalents to the side battens a
while their relative longitudinal positions are maintained by corresponding chains o
furnished with hooks to enable them to be readily detached. It will thus be seen
that on releasing the hooks of the chains and o the cross-laths together with
their springs may be removed, while the frame may be readily disconnected by
removing the nuts and screws connecting them.
The coverlid p is secured to the frame by means of eyelets and hooks or
buttons s as is clearly shown.
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 spring mattress comprising a main frame, laths and springs detachably
connected together substantially as described for the purpose set forth.
2. A spring mattress arranged and constructed substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.

New or Improved Apparatus for Feeding Young Cattle.
I, FERDINAND JACOB, Manufacturer, of Dinslaken, Germany, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to apparatus for feeding calves and other young animals
with milk or other liquid.
It is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, of which Fig. 1 is a longitudinal
section of a sucking apparatus embodying my invention, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal
section of the same in a different stage or position, and Figs. 2 and 4 are cross
sections at different heights.
The outside of the feeding apparatus, or the lower part of it, is made of
indiarubber or similar flexible material and resembles the nipple of the respective
animal. The apparatus is applied to a water-tight bag or other suitable receptacle
or to a tube connected with the same, and is provided with a peculiar valve
mechanism constructed in such a manner, that the milk or other liquid can only
pass off, when the animal is sucking.
The apparatus chiefly comprises a flexible sucking tube or nipple A, an inner
tube a made of metal, vulcanite or other suitable material and provided with lateral
outlets b, which are ordinarily closed by flaps or valves k, so as to prevent the
escape of milk or other liquid from the tube b. Fig. 1 represents this position of
the apparatus.
The said flaps or valves k are secured to the upper ends of two-armed levers h,
arranged symmetrically to the axis of the tube and pressed apart at their lower
ends by a spring l.
If now the animal sucks at the lower end of the flexible tube A, the lower ends
of the levers h are pressed towards the axis of the tube, and thereby the flaps
removed from the openings b, so that the milk can flow out, as represented
by Fig. 3.
It is evident, however, that the apparatus may be modified, without departing
from my invention. For instance, the valves may be placed in the interior of the
tube a, and instead of the lever, slides may be used.
The central tube may be extended downward and arranged in such a manner,
that the milk discharged from the outlets 6 subsequently enters the prolongation
of the central tube and flows downward in the said tube, instead of filling the
indiarubber cap or nipple.
Instead of having flaps arranged to open when the indiarubber cap is com-
pressed, the apparatus may have a valve which opens when the lower end of the
indiarubber cap or tube is pulled downward.
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:
Apparatus for feeding cattle, chiefly comprising a suction tube communicating
valvas controlling the outlet

page_text: suction tube is compressed or drawn downward, and to close the same, when the
suction tube is released, substantially as described.

Improved Fastenings for Castors, Door Knobs, Legs of Portable
Furniture, and the like.
WALTER ISAACS, 7 Warwick Road, Maida Vale London in the County of
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:-
This invention relates to improvement in fastenings for such articles as castors
door knobs, legs of portable furniture & the like, & the invention consists in the
details of construction set forth in the following Specification, & claim, &
illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a part of the fastening containing my invention.
Fig. 2 is the castor fixed complete.
Fig. 3 is a divided wedge cone screwed at the point.
Fig. 4 is same as Fig. 3 with the addition E.
Fig. 5 is a socket to receive Fig. 3 or Fig. 4.
In the drawing the letter A in Fig. 3 indicates a wedge cone screwed at the
point & a triangular piece cut out of the head three parts of the way down towards
the point & split down from the letters G to F as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a
socket with castor attached with the tapered screw D tapped in the socket B to
receive Fig. 3 or Fig. 4. C indicates a hole drilled through to take a lever where-
with to tighten the socket B after receiving the cone screw of Fig. 3 or Fig. 4.
The letter A in Fig. 1 is the wedge dropped into a suitable recess or hole in a
piece of furniture such as the leg of a chair or table or a hole in a door, & when
now the socket B is placed over the cone screw of A & tightened drawing the
points together, it at the same time expands the head of the wedge. Fig. 2 shows
the castor fixed securely, I find that by using the points H it gives to the wedge a
firmer hold. The letter E in Fig. 4 shows a support to keep the two halves of the
wedge together when placed in the recess or hole of a door or legs of chairs &
tables & the like.
In applying this invention to door knobs & portable furniture the socket B should
be attached to a screw plate, which can then be secured to the door or knob or the
legs of furniture.
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 :-
The improved fastenings for castors door knobs legs of portable furniture & the
like herein shown & described combining in its structure a split wedge cone
shaped at the point & a triangular piece cut out of the head 3 parts of the way
down to the point the two halves of the wedge are united by a socket with a
tapered screw which expands the head of the wedge all substantially as herein set
forth.

A New Guard and Rest for Forks.
FREDERICK JAMES MOCKLER Manager County of Gloucester Bank, Limited,
Wotton-under-Edge 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 new guard A & rest B for a fork is formed from part of a circle of steel or
other metal which is held in its place by a screw, which screw C can be withdrawn
& the guard part of the crescent changed to the rest part of the crescent in case
the guard should be broken by accident.
The features of novelty are these―
The guard cannot get out of order and a rest is formed to keep the points of
the fork from touching the table. The guard being made of metal in the shape of
a crescent protects the fingers from the knife slipping as it cannot get over the
guard. The shank of the fork being made to fit. the guard keeps it firmly in its
place.
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
1st. A fixed guard in the shape of a crescent.

An Improved Dish, for Carving Joints and the like purposes.
I CARL WEIHMANN, Manufacturer of Dresden in the Kingdom of Saxony and
German Empire 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 remedy the defect due to poultry or joints
etcetera not being conveniently carved owing to the same sliding or slipping upon
the smooth dishes hitherto used this slippery state-which often causes a splashing
over-being prevented by providing the bottom of the dish 6 with projections ribs
or teeth as illustrated in the drawings hereunto annexed-or forming such upon
an additional plate a (Figures 1 to 4) such teeth ribs or other projections being
sufficiently sharp or deep enough to give the grip or hold required.
Those teeth or ribs afford a proper grip to the joints etcetera required to be
carved and thus prevent the slipping action aforesaid.
The projections teeth or ribs may advantageously be formed upon a special
supplementary plate a which when reversed (Figure 3) enables dishes to be piled
up more conveniently and produces moreover a fish plate in conjunction with the
dish b.
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 dinner or the like dish having projections teeth serrations or ribs formed in
the bottom of such receptacle or on a supplementary plate placed thereon in order
to afford a better grip when carving poultry joints and the like substantially in the
manner and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth and illustrated in the drawings
homounts annomed.

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 an improved method of effecting the solidification of
mineral oils. By the word "solidification" we nean a process or method of con-
verting the oil into a solid. But we wish to explain that our invention relates only
to a method or process for solidifying petroleum. We use this word solid in the
ordinary sense. The product of our process is, for the purpose of this Specification
designated solidified petroleum; and we must point out that such product is capable
of being made of various degrees of hardness or firmness, and also that it may
be turned out in the condition of a pasty mass. The oil, herein spoken of as
petroleum, after its conversion into "solidified petroleum" by the process described
further on-which process with its results forms the substance of the present
invention, is adapted for use either as a fuel or as an illuminant.

Spring Mattress.
Year: 1891

page_text: Spring Mattress.
I ERNEST SMITH Chair Manufacturer of 17 Tankerville Road Streatham
Common Loudon England 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 in the combination of a rectangular frame of wood or metal
with spiral steel springs in such a manner as to produce a light strong serviceable
and very elastic spring mattress both sides of which are alike so that the mattress
is reverseable.
I. I make a rectangular frame B as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing having the
side and end bars of the same well secured together at the four corners of the frame
and for the purpose of still further strengthening the frame and making it sufficiently
rigid to prevent it twisting, or the bars of the frame from being bent inwards by the
strain put upon them when connected with the spiral springs as hereinafter
described, transverse bars/are placed in the frame at a suitable distance from each
corner to ensure the required stability.
II. Having constructed a frame as described 1 place within it a number of spiral
springs of a uniform size and height, and arranged in rows at eaqual distances apart
as indicated by the circles and springs w shown in the drawing Fig. 1.
10
III. I connect the springs so arranged together by wire links having one end
attached to the springs and the other end to small metal rings. Fig. 2 in the draw-
ing shows the manner of attaching the links. The small ring with four links
attached, is placed so as to occupy the centre space between four springs, a link from
the ring extending to each spring adjacent to it.
IV. Having joined all the springs together both at the top and bottom in the
manner described I attach them to the frame B by means of V shaped links of wire
extending from the frame to the top and bottom of those springs that form the
outside rows, and are nearest to the frame and so adjust the length of the links
that when the attachment is completed the frame will occupy a position midway
between the top and bottom of the springs as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing and
thereby enable the springs to act freely from both sides of the mattress in a
vertical direction, while preventing at the same time any swaying motion of the
mattress.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
I. Connecting the spiral springs together by means of metal rings and wire links
as described.
11. The rectangular frame with transverse bars as described, attached to the
springs by V shaped wire links as described.
III. Placing the frame in combination with the springs so that it will occupy a
position midway between the top and bottom of the springs, and the springs will
project considerably above and below the frame so as to act freely from both sides.
