Improvements in Compositions of Camphor with other Substances
for Making Solid Objects of any desired Shape or Colour.
I, HENRI FERDINAND VERDUN, of Pouligny St. Pierre, (Indre), in the
Republic of France, Curé, do hereby declare the. nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
My invention relates to a novel method of treating camphor by which its useful
qualities are preserved indefinitely.
Supposing the process to be applied to camphor, it is reduced by any suitable
means to a more or less fine powder which is intimately mixed, in proportions
which may be varied more or less, with a material such as plaster, cement, or the
like. For example, 100 parts by weight of plaster or cement, with 10 parts of
camphor. The paste thus obtained is then moulded, pressed, or otherwise brought
to any desired shape adapted to the purpose for which it is to be used.
In this way plates or tablets can be produced, which can be easily placed in
objects liable to be attacked by moth or insects.
Moreover, by mixing the camphor with wood saw-dust or pulverized leather,
different articles of furniture and the like can be manufactured from the composition
so formed.
Or collars or bands may be made of the camphor mixture and placed round
the stems or roots of vines, so as to keep off or get rid of phylloxera. Or such
collars or bands may be placed round trees of any kind to keep off all sorts of
insects.
It will be easily understood that in this way all the useful effect of camphor, will
be obtained, for its volatility, which is very great, is scarcely weakened by its
intimate mixture with another substance as described, and its effective durability is
practically everlasting.
Any suitable colouring material may be added.
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 method of mixing camphor, with other substances, from which solid objects
mex ho inide of any desired shape or colour.
de of any desired shape or colour.

ALEXANDER FREDERICK MILLS Senr. 14 Severus Road St. Johns Hill
Clapham Junction London S.W. England do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
I claim the right of adapting india rubber inkeraser or any other composition
apertaining to the same kind of substance to pianoforte hammers harmoniums and
all other musical instruments where felt and leather is now used. The sheets of
india rubber inkeraser composition are made to any thickness required from half
inch bevelled to one sixteenth as per drawing or any other size required.
On one
side of the sheets will be linen or any other material so as to make it adhere more
firmly to the wood of the hammers when glued it will produce a far superior
quality of tone and much more equal. The hammers will be much more durable
and last a verry much longer period and being more pliable the strings will not cut
the covering so much as now.
Mice cannot injure it as they do the leather and felt. Moth will not get into the
pianoforte and the damp and atmospheric heat will not in the least injure it.

Improved Friction Castor for Articles of Furniture and the like.
I, HUBERT STEYSKAL, of No. 37 Fröhlichergasse, Brünn, in the Empire of
Austria, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a friction castor for articles of furniture
and the like by means of which they can be moved about in a more easy way than
is the case with the present kind of rollers for furniture.
Fig. 1, of the accompanying drawing shows in vertical section a friction castor
attached to the foot of a piece of furniture.
Fig. 2, is a plan view of the castor casing or housing.
Fig. 3, is a section on the line -a of Fig. 1.
As will be seen from the figs. the large ball A is enclosed by a casing or
housing, somewhat resembling a skull, and consisting of two parts a a¹; the upper
part or cover a¹ having its diameter of a suitable size so that the ball A can be
mounted in it. This is effected in such a manner that the ball A is first introduced
into the casing or housing a, which is separated from the upper part a'. The
balls bare then introduced between the inner wall of the casing and the ball A the
upper part of which is covered with such balls b.
When this has been done the cover a of the casing or housing is then fastened by
means of screws c" to the under part of the casing or housing.
In order to more easily attach the friction castor to the article of furniture, the
cover al is provided with a strong wood screw c, which is screwed into the foot C
of the article of furniture in question; for security against the same eventually
turning round, the screws c¹ taking into the flanges of the casing or housing a a¹
will come in useful and these screws c¹ moreover will aid in making the attachment
of the friction castor to the furniture foot a solid one.
These friction castors may be made in all sizes and out of different materials,
but metal, vulcanite, cellulose, lignum vitæ and other hard kinds of wood will be
preferable.
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. A friction castor for furniture characterised by a large ball A, and a concentric
skullshaped casing a a', of a larger internal diameter, and between which and the
ball A friction balls bare arranged.
2. In the friction castors specified under Claim 1, the arrangement of a two part
casing a a¹, screwed together at the flanges by means of screws c", the part a¹
forming the crown of a concave sphere, whilst the part a compassing the lower part
of the ball A, fits tight to the part a¹.

Whereas it has been the custom to use strips of brass or other material to bind
the top edge of pictures and showcards and to pass a wire, in some cases, and in
others, a piece of metal (having a hole cut therein for the nail) or a ring through
the strip and to fasten the same to the strip by any ordinary means, I have invented
means of dispensing with the wire or ring arrangement, or having a separate piece
of metal at all.
According to my invention I cut or stamp the eyelet for the strip in the strip
itself.
Figure A. shows my strip, as seen from the front, having the eyelet C. made in
one piece with the strip.
Figure B. shows my strip, as seen from the back, having the eyelet C. out in the
metal strip and bent up. All that is required is a piece of thin metal or other
suitable material which is folded over and pressed on to the edge of the picture, a
small piece of the metal having been first cut, preferably, in the back of the strip
where it will not show, and bent up. A hole is then made in the piece so bent up
which forms an eyelet or ring for the nail.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

Improvements in Garments for Invalids.
I, LAURA MEDICUS, Spinster, of 47/3 Königin Strasse, Munich, in the Empire
of 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 change of patients' linen or other clothing is in cases of serious illness often
scarcely practicable and liable to cause great pain, while even in less serious cases
such change would be disagreeably felt owing to the patient being necessarily
disturbed in his or her position.
Now the purpose of this invention is to so manufacture garments as to render it
possible to change them readily without much troubling the patient.
The invention is performed as illustrated in the annexed drawing in which a shirt
is shown constructed for the purpose in question. As to be seen the form of the
garment is such that the stuff is not sewn together so as to make an all round skirt,
body or sleeve, but, although cut to fit the form of the patients body, is made so
that it can be spread out flat, as shown in the left half of the figure. At different
places flat buttons a a with corresponding button-holes or other fastening devices
are provided on the shirt. One row of such buttons and holes running from the
neck downward and the other across the chest and along the sleeves. There is
consequently nothing more required than to place the garment when spread out
flat, beneath the patient, without the latter having to make those movements which
are indispensable in putting on ordinary shirts. After the shirt, jacket or garment
is suitably spread out flat, the edges and ends of the clothing are folded over the
chest, stomach and arms of the patient as illustrated by the right half portion in
the annexed drawing, whereupon the edges c d and ef are buttoned or connected
together. The neck-portions are put up over the shoulders to meet at the chest
and connected in the same direction as the sleeve seam.
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 :-
A garment having the body and sleeve parts divided each along its full length so
as to open flat and provided with fastening devices along its meeting edges
substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Means for Stopping Bottles.
I, AMBROSIUS KOWASTCH, of No. 4 Sonnenstrasse, Munich, Bavaria, in the
Empire of Germany, Mining Engineer, 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 present invention relates to means for stopping bottles whereby simplicity,
great practicability and ease of manufacture are obtained.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1. is a vertical section of a bottle neck provided with my improved
stopping means.
Figure 2. is a side elevation, and
Figure 3. is a horizontal section of the same.
Figures 4 and 5 are two side elevations drawn at right angles to each other, and
Figure 6 is a horizontal section representing a modification of my invention.
In all the figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
The bottle neck is provided with a swelling a formed with a cam slot b on each
side thereof which slots are curved upwards and are intended to receive the pins d
of the wire, bale or holder c carrying the stopper e.
In the modification shown at Figures 4, 5, 6 the wire bale or holder c is rigidly
connected with a strap or hoop f extending from one pin ᵒd around half the bottle
neck to the other pin d.
The drawing shows the stoppers in their closed positions.
In order to open the bottle the wire bale or holder c is pushed by hand so that
its pins d pass along the inclined cam slots from the lower to the higher parts
thereof thereby liberating the stopper e. For stoppering the bottle, the stopper e
is inserted in the mouth of the bottle and the wire bale or holder e is pushed so that
its pins & pass along the inclined cam slots b from the higher to the lower parts
thereof which causes the bale or holder e and consequently the stopper e to be
drawn in a downward direction thereby securing a tight closing of the bottle.
The stopper e in order to insure a tight fit, is provided with an india rubber
ring h.
The strap or hoop is for the purpose of facilitating the pushing of the bale or
holder c.
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. In means for stopping bottles, the combination with a stopper of a bale
or holder c or cf connected with said stopper, inwardly turned pins at the lower
ends of the bale or holder and inclined cam slots formed in a swelling on the bottle
neck to receive said inwardly turned pins substantially as herein shown and
described.
2. The combination of a stopper having a bale or holder c or cf provided with
inwardly turned pins, with a bottle whose neck has inclined cam slots formed in a
swelling thereon to receive said inwardly turned pins substantially as herein shown
and described and for the purpose stated.
