A Device for Attachment to Coat Sleeves for the Purpose of Clipping
and Retaining Linen or other Cuffs.
I, JOHN DENNIS BATES, of 6 John Street, Bath, in the county of Somerset,
draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement
This invention consists in a spring clip designed to be attached, by sewing or
otherwise, to the inside of each sleeve of a coat or jacket and so arranged as to
be capable of gripping and retaining the usual cuff (either attached to or separate
from a shirt) at any point to which such cuff may be adjusted at the will of the
wearer. By its use the wearer is enabled to regulate the extent of cuff appearing
beyond the end or mouth of the sleeve of the coat or jacket.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, Fig. 1 is a side
view and Fig. 2 a plan of a clip constructed and arranged in accordance with this
invention.
It consists of a tongue a hinged to a plate b in which is cut the portion c
curved, as shown, to act as a spring both to keep the tongue either vertical or
horizontal when brought by manual effort to either of these positions.
Fig. 3 is a side view and Fig. 4 a plan of the clip showing the tongue a raised.
Fig. is a perspective view of the plate showing the spring c and the sockets
for hinging the tongue of which Fig. 6 represents a top view and Fig. 7 a view
of the under face. The tongue is furnished on the under face with a tooth, as
shown. Fig. 8 represents in end view, and Fig. 9 in perspective, a part of a coat
sleeved with a clip attached on the inside thereof. At Fig. 10 the tongue a of
the clip is shown closed upon the cuff e. The tongue is inserted, while vertical, in
the division of the cuff and is closed on the cuff by pressure exerted by the finger and
thumb of the wearer. By the use of the clip the wearer is enabled to permit as
much of a cuff worn inside to project beyond the end of the coat sleeve as may
be desired, the cuff being adjusted accordingly before the tongue of the clip is closed
upon it.
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 use, in a sleeve of a coat, jacket and the like, of a spring clip or vice
consisting of a tongue a hinged to a base plate such as band acted upon by a spring
such as c and attached, by sewing or otherwise, to the inside of the sleeve and
arranged to grip and retain a cuff of linen or other material (the cuff being either
attached to or separate from a shirt) at any point to which it is adjusted by the
wearer, substantially as herein before described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in Seed Drills.
I, HENKY ROLFE, of Clavering, near Newport, in the County of Essex, Farmer,
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 seed drills, and is more particularly
applicable to drills for mangolds, turnips, and similar root crops.
It is a matter of common experience that, when a row of mangold for instance has
been drilled by the ordinary coulter-drill into a loose soil, the operation of drilling
loosens the soil so much that its natural moisture is quickly evaporated instead of
being retained for the sustenance of the young plant, with the result that the latter
is dried up and perishes.
It has been proposed to use a hand barrow laden with stones to be dragged behind
the drill, for the purpose of consolidating the mould about the seed; and my inven-
tion produces a drill and press wheel in a compact form and adapted to be readily
worked along the ridges or on the flat.
In order that my invention and the means by which the same 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.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation; and Fig. 2, a plan illustrating the construction of a
single row drill and press wheel according to my invention.
A is the frame of the drill. a, a are a pair of holes to facilitate its connection to
any wheel implement adapted for animal traction e.g. a horse hoe, roll, or ordinary
drill so that the improved drill may be worked over the ground.
B is the press-wheel and must be of a proper weight and width for the work of
consolidating the mould about the seed. is a hook from which additional weights
can be hung. C is the seed-box. It is fitted with the usual and well known drill-
cups, cup-pipe and coulter-pipe c. The cup-disc inside the box C is driven from
the press-wheel B in any convenient way, e.g. by a pair of disc-cranks d, d, and
connecting rods d¹, d².
E is the earthing fork, and E¹ is a piece of chain provided for the purpose of
lifting the drill from the ground when turning round at the headlands.
My invention is not confined to the production of single row drills, but is equally
applicable to multiple drills, and may then be furnished with shafts.
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 combination of drill and press-wheel as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of seed-box, drill-frame, press-wheel, and seeding cups adapted
to be rotated by the press wheel, as set forth.

added and the mixture placed in a still with addition of 0 litres of water. The still
is closed, and the mixture boiled and distilled by a current of steam. The first
distillate is again distilled with addition of half its volume of water and the product
will be about 52 litres of a liquid at about 74°. To this, is added 80 litres of
syrup made of water and clarified sugar of about 30° strength being about 57 Kilo-
grams of sugar to 45 liters of water and the liqueur or beverage so made is bottled
for use.
To make a similar liqueur of eucalyptus, the leaves of the cucalyptus are cleaned
and 7 kilograms of these are treated exactly as above described.
I do not confine myself to the exact proportions above set forth but may vary the
same slightly according to the quality or strength of the beverage to be produced.

Improvements in Rubber Water Bottles.
I JAMES BURBRIDGE of the firm of Messrs. W. Warne & Co. of the India
Rubber Works, Tottenham in the County of Middlesex, India Rubber Manufacturers,
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 rubber water bottles of the ordinary construction, the valve and filler are placed
centrally of the width of the bottle, and immediately under the handle.
It is obvious that with the valve in this position, it is difficult to avoid scalding the
hands while filling the bottle; also, the weight of the valve and filler, when the bottle
is hung up out of use, is liable to cause the breaking of the neck, and also that the
additional weight of water in the filler, when the bottle is being filled, is likely to
bend it over, so that the water is upset.
Now the object of my invention is to avoid these inconveniences, as well as
otherwise to improve the construction of these bottles.
In carrying out my invention, I place the valve and filler at one angle or corner of
the bottle, and I attach it to and outside the handle. I also provide an air valve by
which the air contained in the bottle can escape while the bottle is being filled, and
thereby prevent the noise and splashing over which usually takes place.
At the bottom of the bottle, and preferably at the corner opposite to the valve, I
place a loop, which will be useful to tip up the bottle to empty it, and the loop will
also serve to hang up the bottle, so that it may drain dry.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown in side elevation a rubber water bottle
constructed according to my invention.
A is the bottle, B the handle, to the outside of which the filler C containing
the valve is attached. D is the air valve, which may be situated in a recess formed
in the handle, as shown, or in any other convenient position.- is the loop.
It will be evident that both the air valve D and the loop E are not absolutely
necessary to my invention, the essential feature of which is placing the valve and

page_text: filler outside of, and attaching it to the handle, but they are eminently useful and
desirable additions. By this construction of bottle, that hand holding the bottle
while being filled will be some distance away from the steam.
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 rubber water bottle as herein shown and described.
2. A rubber water bottle in which the valve and filler are placed outside the
handle, to which the filler is attached, as set forth.

1, JULIUS HATRY, of 12 & 13 Cheapside E.C. in the County of Middlesex 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:
My invention relates to improvements in scarf and cravat fastening and retaining
devices and consists in the combination of a retaining device fixed on the back of the
bow with an improved adjustable elastic fastening device.
In order that my invention and the means by which the same 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.
Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views, back and front, of a cravat to which my inven-.
tion has been applied.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate the construction of my improved fastening.
A is the retaining device. It is stamped out of thin sheet metal, and is fixed to the
back of the bow in any convenient way, e.g., by sewing as illustrated in Fig. 1. It
is cup-shaped, and has a slot a cut out of it, which, in conjunction with its shape,
adapts it for engaging with the shank and head of the collar stud.
The fastening device consists of an elastic strap B fast to the end of the strap C; a
self-fixing slider b fast to the opposite end of the elastic strap, and through which the
strap is led; a ring e in the bight of the strap, and adapted to engage with the hook d
fast on the end of the strap B. The length of the strap is adjusted by moving the
slider b, and the elasticity of the strap prevents the hook and ring from becoming
disengaged.

page_text: 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. The combination in a scarf, of retainer, bands, elastic strap, slider, ring in the
bight of the strap, and hook and ring as set forth.
2. The combination in a scarf of bands, elastic strap, slider, ring in the bight of the
strap and hook and ring as set forth.

page_text: Improvements in Perambulators.
I, WILLIAM SCALING DOVE of 31 St. Andrew Street, in the City of Glasgow,
Perambulator Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to perambulators and it has for its object to simplify and
lighten and otherwise improve the construction of the supporting framework whereon
the body of the carriage is hung.
As represented in side and end elevations at figures 1 and 2 and in detail at figure 3
of the accompanying drawings the framework which supports the carriage body A of
the perambulator is composed of a tube B which is rigidly secured by junction
pieces C to the wheel axles and whose ends terminate at D in bifurcated rods or bars E
to which are attached the handles F. On each of the rods or bars E are formed
projecting arms G through eyes in which is passed a bolt H surrounded by a helical
spring I. Over the springs I and fitted on the bolts H are bracket pieces J attached
to the body of the carriage the weight of which is supported by the springs I the
said springs being adapted to yield and permit of slight vibration and oscillation of the
carriage to obviate or diminish shocks that would otherwise be occasioned by
unevenness of the road over which the vehicle travels. In other respects the
perambulator may be of ordinary construction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improved means hereinbefore described for supporting the body of a
perambulator.
2. In a perambulator a tubular frame for supporting the body constructed and
fitted substantially as described with reference to the annexed drawings.
3. In a perambulator the combination with the supporting frame of the helical

Improved Straps for Preventing the Spraining of the Ankle in Skating.

Improved Straps for Preventing the Spraining of the Ankle in
Skating.
I, GEDEON VON ROHONOZY, of No. 20 Sandor Gasso, in the City of Budapesth,
in the Kingdom of Hungary and Austro-Hungarian Empire, Member of Parliament,
do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 improved straps for preventing the spraining of the ankle in
skating. The want of a proper support for the ankle is the reason why so many
accidents happen to skaters, and especially to ladios, which not unfrequently result in
broken limbs. The want of a proper support for the ankle causes the skater to become
tired and the feet to become unsteady, which is decidedly dangerous.
The movement of the ankle joint of skaters is not prevented, but rather promoted by
laced or buttoned boots, as the cut of such boots corresponds to the foot, and is made
for walking, during which the body appears to be somewhat inclined to the rear, but
in skating, as is well known, the body is inclined forward, so that the boot is widened
towards the rear of the ankle and above the heel.
This widening, or the loose position of the foot in the boot, causes in most cases a
staggering of the ankle joint, so that the skater is liable to lose his or her balance.
The employment of the arrangement represented in the accompanying drawing avoids
all the aforementioned disadvantages and renders the use of special skating boots
unnecessary.
Figure 1, of the accompanying drawings, is an elevation of the ankle-strap arrange-
iment, and
Figure 2 represents the same applied to a skater's boot.
The ankle protecting arrangement consists of a strap a arranged to the rear of the
joint above the heel and in almost horizontal position. Near each end of this strap a,
a ring d, e, is attached by means of suitable lugs b, c, to one of which said rings two
small straps h, i, and to the other two buckles f, g, are fixed. One of these straps h, i,
embraces the instep and is fixed in the corresponding buckle, whilst the other runs in
opposite direction beneath the waist or hollowed part of the boot, and is also fixed in
an appropriate bucklo. The strips of webbing or fabric & are employed for lessening
the pressure of the straps on the foot. In this manner the ankle is securely held
and the foot is prevented from moving, thus giving the skater's foot the security so
much needed.
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 improved straps for preventing the spraining of the ankle in skating, consisting
of a central strap a with two rings d, e, attached to the same, to which two small
straps h, i, are fixed at the one end, whilst the other ends are held by the buckles f, g,
substantially as described and shown.

An Improved Apparatus for Playing a Game of Skill.
I, VALENTIN SCHAEFFER of Hospital Pairis in Urbeis, in the County of
Rappoltsweiler, in Elsass, German Empire, Clergyman 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 Improved gaming apparatus, the construction of which
is shewn in the accompanying drawings of which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the board A.
Fig. 3 is a section on the lines &―z.
The apparatus consists of a board A in the centre of which there is a handle or
knob K. The board A is provided with numerous pins e and towards the edge with
a number of holes n. On the back or under side of board A is the circular and
spiral way or channel a b.-A rounded pivot Z is fixed underneath the board A and
fits into an indent of a peg F, rising perpendicularly from a foot F¹, provided with a
channel y.
When the apparatus is used for play the handle K is taken hold of and the pivot Z
is placed on the peg F. The game now consists in dropping balls s into the handle K,
whence they pass out through openings g and on to the board. It must now be the
object of the player, to cause the ball or balls to enter any agreed holes n, by
judiciously altering the level of the board A, which is easily done as it is only supported
in the ball-bearing formed by pivot Z and peg F.
In order to distinguish the holes n, from each other they are numbered or otherwise
marked, for instance named with geographical names.
The balls pass from the holes n into the channel a-b and thence into the groove y
of the foot-stand. In order to cause the balls to pass through the channel a-b, which
is hidden from view, the board must be judiciously manipulated and rocked on its
peg Z, as before.
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. An improved gaming apparatus consisting essentially of a flat board, provided
with a handle, and a central support to enable the board to be placed at any level,
substantially in the manner as and for the purpose described and as shewn in the
drawings.
2. Providing such gaming hoard with a hidden circular or spiral channel,
substantially in the manner as and for the purpose described and as shewn in the
drawings.
