An Improved Bath Mat.
A communication to me from EDUARD WEIGEL, of Greiffenberg, in the Kingdom
of Prussia, Merchant.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 35, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, 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, that is to say :-
This invention relates to an improved mat, to be placed at the bottom of an
ordinary bath when in use.
-
It consists of cleaned and bleached sponge, in small pieces, a layer of which is
enclosed in a cover of porous woven fabric, the mat so formed being quilted so
that it retains its form.
This mat is placed on the bottom of the bath and absorbs the water, so that it
forms a soft and pleasant support for the bather. After having been used it is
wrung out and dried, which is very quickly done, and it can then be used again
without retaining any disagreeable odour.
The improved mat is especially useful for children and infants, and for invalids.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is :-
A bath mat, consisting of a porous fabric quilted upon a layer of sponge, and
laid upon the bottom of a bath, substantially as described.

WILLIAM LAIDLAW PURVES, of Hardwicke Cottage, The Common,
Wimbledon, Surrey, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The dividing of the golf club bags, in which the clubs are usually carried during
the progress of the game, into two or more compartments or divisions, extending
either throughout the length of the bag, or only dividing the bag at one or more
points.
By this means a greater ease is obtained in the introduction of the clubs into, or
their removal from the bag, and in the selection of the club desired.
The division or divisions may be made of any suitable materials, e.g., wood,
metal, celluloid, canvas, waterproof materials, leather, &c., and may be fixed to
the bag, or placed in the bag, and removable at pleasure.

An Improvement in Golf Club Bags.
I, WILLIAM LAIDLAW PURVES, of Hardwicke Cottage, The Common,
Wimbledon, Surrey, Surgeon, 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 :-
29
Hitherto the golf club bags or cases in which the clubs are usually carried have
consisted of only one compartment for the carrying of the clubs. Caddy bags
have been made with an "umbrella attachment" outside, as in Mapleston's Patent
No. 10523, 1891, but in no case has the bag been constructed so as to have more
than one compartment or division for the purpose of carrying clubs in these com-
partments or divisions. By carrying the clubs in different compartments a greater
ease is obtained in the introduction of the clubs into, or their removal from,
the bag, and in the selection of the club desired during the progress of
the game.
The compartments or divisions may extend either throughout the length of the
bag, or vary in their extent, or be present only at one or more points.
The number and size of such compartments or divisions may vary.
The compartments or divisions may be made of any suitable material or
materials, such as canvas, leather, cloth, waterproof fabrics, wood, celluloid,
metal &c., and may be fixed to the bag, or placed in or on the bag, and removable
at pleasure.
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 construction of golf club bags or cases in more than one compartment or
division, for the purposes of holding and carrying golf clubs in such compartments
or divisions.

Improvements in Plates for Artificial Teeth.
I, CHARLES SKIPP of 200 Regent Street, in the County of Middlesex, Dentist,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Plates for artificial teeth are at present made rigid so that if the shape
of the mouth alters the plate becomes uncomfortable and has to be refitted.
Revulcanising after replacing a broken tooth is also apt to deform the plate.
I overcome these objections by constructing the plate in two parts separable
from each other, the part with the teeth fixed to it being rigid as at present whilst
the other part fitting the gums and it may be the palate also being preferably of
softer rubber.
In refitting a plate constructed in this way the more expensive part namely
that to which the teeth are fixed needs no alteration whilst a slight deformation
of this part produces no discomfort because the part fitted to the mouth remains
unchanged.
The two parts are preferably connected together by screws whose heads are
afterwards covered with gutta percha to prevent corrosion.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Dolls' Bodies and other
Hollow Articles.
I, ADOLF ASCHER, of 18 Krautstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,.
Hatter, 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 a process for moulding in a single piece, dolls' bodies and
other hollow articles by pressure for chirurgical, anatomical, technical, and other
purposes.
In carrying my invention into effect I take a mould made in two or more suitable
parts, which when placed together correspond to the form desired for the hollow
article. I then lay wet pieces of prepared stiffened cloth, stiffened paper, jute, or
other suitable material, on the inner side of the parts of the mould and, after
placing all the parts of the mould but one together, I introduce an india-rubber
bag into the middle of the mould and fold the overhanging ends of the prepared
cloth, or other suitable material, over the india-rubber bag. I then place the last
part of the mould in its correct position and secure the whole tightly together by
means of screws or in any other convenient manner. One end of the india-rubber
bag is formed to receive an india-rubber or other tube, and the bag is expanded by
hydraulic pressure or by compressed air, which causes it to press the prepared
cloth or other suitable material forcibly against the surrounding parts of the:
mould.
After the bodies have been thus moulded into shape, the pressure is released and
the bag is then removed from the inside of the mould through a small opening
which may be in the neck of the doll's body, or through any other suitable opening
therein. It only remains to leave the body to dry and to take the mould to.
pieces.
By means of my process as herein described I am enabled for the first time to-
produce in a mechanical manner dolls' bodies and other similar hollow articles in a
single piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what
I claim is :-
The process of manufacturing hollow bodies in a single piece by the use of
moulds in two or more parts which correspond in shape to the hollow bodies to be
produced, and which moulds are covered inside with stiffened woven material, paper,
jute, or other suitable material, which latter is then, by means of an india-rubber
bag under pressure, pressed against the inner face of the mould, substantially as
hereinbefore described.

I, REGINALD HADDAN of the firm of Herbert & Co. Patent Agents of
18 Buckingham Street Strand W.C. London do hereby declare the nature of this
invention a communication to me from abroad by August Dessauer of 28 Neuerwall
Hamburg in the Empire of Germany Merchant, 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 cases or boxes for containing hats and it consists in
providing on the inner side of the cover or otherwise in the box a double bowed
spring of wire or spring metal adapted when distended to engage in the interior of
a hat and so hold the latter securely in the box with its outer surface out of
contact with the walls of the box. The double bowed spring is also provided with
a cord or equivalent device passing through the cover of the box or other part
thereof in which the spring is fixed for compressing together the arins of the spring
for placing it in or withdrawing it from the interior of the hat.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention
Fig. 1 being a longitudinal section of the case with a hat therein.
Fig. 2 being a plan view of the cover thereof.
Fig. 3 is a section of the cover and spring.
The holder for the hat consists of the spring or springs with the two bowed
arms ee here shown as secured by the central plate or socket A to the cover D
of the hat case.
The ends of the springs are connected by a cords which passes
through the cover of the box on which the, spring holder is fixed and terminates
in a ring g or other suitable device. The size and curvature of the arms e e¹ and
the strength of spring, are such that the arms press sufficiently against the inside
of a hat as shown in Fig. 1 to hold the latter securely from shifting. By pulling
the cords the arms e e' are drawn together at their ends for releasing the hat or
for inserting the latter on the holder.
In case the pressure of the spring arms e e' when made of wire might tend to
indent the hat, plates m curved to the shape of the inside of the hat may be fixed
on the spring arms e e¹ where they come in contact with the interior wall of
the hat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is

Improvements in Hydraulic Hoisting Apparatus.
I, DAVID (CYNRIG) THOMAS, of Bronwydd, Llanishen, near Cardiff, in the
County of Glamorgan, Ironmonger, 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:-
Fig. 1. is a sectional end elevation, and Fig. 2. a sectional side elevation of an
apparatus constructed according to my invention.
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are sections of a three-way cock in the lowering, lifting, and
stopping positions respectively.
A is a hydraulic cylinder closed at both ends by covers K and L. In journals,
or stuffing boxes, in the covers K and L, a shaft H is free to revolve. On the
part of the shaft H inside of the cylinder A, a piston blade B is fixed. On the
part of the shaft H outside of the aforesaid cylinder is fixed a spur wheel D.
D gears with another spur wheel E, which is fixed upon a shaft G. The said
shaft G is free to revolve in suitable journals, or bearings, and has a winding
drum F fixed to it.
PN and QM are ports for the passage of the water to and from the cylinder A.
Inside the cylinder A, and between the two water ports P.N and QM, a blade C
projects from the periphery of the cylinder A to the boss of the piston blade B,
and extends from the cover K to the cover L.
S is the supply always open to the inner side of the piston blade B through the
port P N, and capable of being opened to the other side of the piston blade B by
the three-way cock O, which also opens the part QM to the exhaust R.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-
When lifting, the water enters through the port PN, and forces the piston blade
and shaft to revolve and convey rotary motion through the spur wheels to the
winding drum. The water in front, or on the outer side, of the piston blade goes
to exhaust, the three-way cock being so turned as to open the exhaust. In the
return, or lowering, motion, both sides of the piston blade are open to the supply,
but as the exhaust is closed there is no expenditure of water, the motion being
effected by the weight of the cage, or counterbalance-weight. When the three-
way cock is in the position shown in Fig. 5, the piston blade cannot revolve in
either direction, and the load is stopped.
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.) Hydraulic hoisting apparatus in which the revolution of a piston blade
and spur wheel on a common axis conveys rotary motion to a winding drum,
and in which a three-way cock is used to control the supply and exhaust, sub-
stantially as described.
(2.) Hydraulic hoisting apparatus substantially as described and shown in the
drawings.

Improvements in Implements for Carving Meat, Poultry, and
the like.
I, JAN ZEMANEC of Nimburg, Bohemia, in the Empire of Austro-Hungary,
Cutler, 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 subject of this invention is a scissors or shear-like tool or cutter mainly
adapted for cutting meat, poultry and the like, one of the blades being sharpened
on both sides or edges so that the outer edge or back may be utilized as a knife.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows the carving shears open, in elevation,
Fig. 2 is a plan thereof,
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the shears when closed, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the open shears.
The two blades a¹ a² pivotted at c, terminate at their back ends in handles b¹ b.
Two flat springs dd, one secured to each handle, serve to keep the cutting-blades
apart. One of the blades a' as before stated, has two cutting edges so that its
back or outer edge may be employed as a knife, in which case the shears are
closed by compressing the handles b 2 and by the insertion of the fastening
hook or catch, pivotted at g, to one handle, into the slot h in the other handle as
in Figure 3.
The essential feature of this carver, however, is the second unsharpened blade a³.
Its edge instead of being sharp is flattened and milled or serrated; and its object
is to prevent the fowl or the like from slipping by acting as a holder on the bone,
while the sharp blade is performing the carving.
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. A tool or cutter for carving meat and the like mainly consisting of two blades
such as a a having handles and pivotted shear-like at c one of which blades is
sharpened at the inner edge or both inner and outer edges while the other is
flattened and serrated or grooved substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
2. In a cutter such as described the arrangement of folding flat springs d' d
between the handles adapted constantly to keep apart the shear-blades and the
catch provided upon one of the handles and intended when the carver is to be
closed to engage in a slot provided in the other handle substantially as described.
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In india-rubber-tyred wheels, the rim has hitherto been made plain; the india-
rubber tyre taking a complete bearing against the rim.
This
According to the present invention, the grooved rim is formed with a central
recess, so that, when the wheel passes over stones or other inequalities, the india-
rubber tyre is compressed and more or less forced into the said recess.
brings nearly the whole of the tyre into play; whereas, only the outer part of the
tyre is, according to the method of construction hitherto employed, available for
cushioning" purposes.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
-
1. A rim for wheels of velocipedes and other vehicles formed with a recess
running round its entire circumference and adapted for permitting an india-rubber
tyre to be more or less forced thereinto as inequalities in the surface of the road
are encountered, substantially as herein described.

Improvements in Telephone Receivers.
I, ROBERT POLLITZ, of 16, Leinster Square, Bayswater, London, W. 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:
.
My invention relates to a new or improved appliance adaptable to telephones for
rendering the sounds emitted thereby more audible and protecting the ear of the
user thereof.
The object of my new or improved appliance is to modify the sonorous vibrations
of telephones in such a manner as to intensify the sounds produced and remove the
strain from the ear drum of the users of such apparatus, thus rendering a defect
which has hitherto been a serious drawback to the more general application of
telephones. This appliance has furthermore for its object to prevent the spread of
contagious or infectious diseases from one person to another to which any one
placing his ear upon the transmitter of a telephone is exposed whenever the previous
user was suffering from any skin or other affection.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1. is a plan, Fig. 2 a section and Fig. 3 and
underside view of my new or improved appliance. The same has the form of a
cup e furnished centrally with a tubular extension a and strengthened at its outer
periphery by a thick edge or rib . This cup is preferably made of india rubber
and the tubular tension may be formed if desired of ivory or other suitable material
and is placed over the transmitter or receiver of a telephone as the case may be, the
edge or rib b being applied directly upon the outer periphery of the same, after
which the tubular piece a is inserted in the ear of the person using such transmitter
or receiver.
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 appliance for increasing telephonic sounds and protecting the
ears of persons using telephones substantially as herein described and shown.

Improvements relating to Umbrellas and Parasols.
I, JULIUS DIBBERN, of Bleichenbrücke No. 25-29, Hamburg in the Empire
of Germany Manager 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 so construct or shape the stick of an umbrella
and to so arrange the ribs that the umbrella when folded and rolled up, may occupy
a smaller space and appear more slender than umbrellas already in use.
The improvements, which are also applicable to parasols and to umbrellas of all
sizes, consist in making the stick so that its shape in cross section is that of a
triangle, and in arranging the ribs of which there are six so that two ribs fold on
each face of the triangle, the crown if desired, and the runner which carries the
stretchers being made accordingly.
The invention is shown in the annexed drawing in which
Fig. 1 shows the stick with crown and runner and a rib and a stretcher connected
to the crown and runner respectively.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the stick showing the runner and six stretchers.
Fig. 3 illustrates the positions of the stretchers with regard to the stick, when the
umbrella is folded.
The silk or other covering is omitted for clearness of illustration.
a is the umbrella stick which is of triangular cross section. bis the runner which
c shows the ribs. d the stretchers. e is
is also triangular to slide on the stick.
the crown.
There are six ribs e and six stretchers thereto, each being respectively
connected to the crown e and to the runner so that when folded together two lie
along each face of the triangular stick a. In this manner as shown in Fig. 3
the whole frame when folded occupies a smaller space than when a cylindrical
stick of equal strength is used. The runner is made triangular but its flange to
which the stretchers are connected is only made so far triangular as may be
necessary to provide attachment for the stretchers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
In an umbrella or parasol, the combination of a triangular stick, with a triangular
runner and six ribs and stretchers the latter being connected so that when folded
two lie along each face of the stick substantially as and for the purpose described.

WILLIAM HENDERSON, Engineer & Hair Seating Manufacturer Glen Factory
Benton Somerset do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object to improve hackling and dressing machinery for
flax and other fibres.
The flax or other fibres to be operated on is clamped in holders which is placed
on horizontal supporting bars as in the ordinary hackling machine. The end of the
machine at which the flax is put in I have horizontal rubbers and shakers, placed
about the same height as the top of hackles, so that as the holder is pushed
into the machine it is first acted on by rubbers & shakers or rubbed without
shaking or shook without rubbing as required then it pases on to hackles. This
enables hard and dirty flax to be softened and cleaned which does with less hackling
and gives more yield.
