Improvements in Bottle Wrappers.
I, DAVID DAVIDSON, of Mugie Moss Paper Mills, Auchmill in the County
of Aberdeen, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The wrapper which forms the subject of this invention is made of a combination
of paper and paper felt, the latter being a material which has a certain stiffness
but is nevertheless soft and well suited for protecting the bottle.
A sheet of paper felt as long as the bottle (including the neck) and as wide or
somewhat wider than the circumference of the bottle is gummed or otherwise
fixed along one edge to a sheet of paper which is both longer and wider than
the felt.
The bottle is laid at the edge where the two materials are pasted together and
rolled up in it. The projecting ends of the paper being turned over at the ends of
the felt to finish off, leaving the parcel in a neat cylindrical form not having the
appearance of a bottle.

condition.
The action to close is first screwing the thumb button K down the centre
post G, H, F, which forces the eye plate A down with it, thereby compressing the
springs C, C, until the parts assume the several positious shown at Figure 3, the
two legs G, H, of the centre post F being then turned downwardly as shown.
The jointed ends L, L, of the two legs G, H, extend slightly and are arranged
to lie side by side across the top of the thumb button K which can then be run
back to retain the glasses in a closed up condition, as at Figures 2 and 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-

Improvements in Drawing Pens.
I, ANDERS BULL of Christiania Norway, Student, 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 ensure that the points of the pen can be-
properly cleaned without their distance from each other being altered in the.
slightest degree, and therefore without the thickness of the lines made by the pen.
being altered.
It consists of a contrivance which permits the displacement of one of the pen.
points. This is effected by means of a small adjusting screw working in a nut on a
hinged arm which I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying
drawings, in which
Fig. 1, shows a front view of a drawing pen furnished with my improvements.
Fig. 2, shows a cross section of the pen at the line x-x of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, shows Fig. 2 on an enlarged scale.
a is a small bent arm having an eye c', which engages with a small lug on the.
fixed nib b of the pen, and forms the hinge joint c.
b, is the fixed nib of the pen.
bi, is the jointed nib, hinged at fin the usual way.
c, is the joint on the arm a.
d, is a screwed eye to receive the adjusting screw e.
By preference this eye is split and adjustable by the screw s, as shewn in Fig. 3..
This eye forms part of arm a.
e is an adjusting screw with milled head. It is pointed at the fore-end and
engages with a small recess in the back of the nib b¹.
When it is required to clean the pen, it is only necessary to press b¹ towards b
and thus release it from the screw e. The arm a then folds back out of the way,-
and the nib & can be opened, and both can be properly cleaned.
When the cleaning is finished b¹ can be instantaneously replaced in its former
position and at the same distance from that it occupied previously. Thus the
lines made by the pen will be precisely similar, no readjustment being necessary.
The screw e should fit rather tightly in the eye d so that it may not be too easily
disturbed.
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 drawing pen fitted with a lug and hinge joint e to which is attached the arm a,.
at the end of which is the eye d, with or without the lugs and adjusting screw s,.
the said eyed holding the adjustable screw e, which has a pointed end to engage
with a recess y, at the back of the pen nib, whereby the position of the said screw e-
is secured; as herein described and set forth.

and Kingdom of Prussia 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 apparatus represented in the annexed drawing, serves to hold together the
four sides of a picture-frame, which have previously been mitred, so that they
may be easily glued firmly together, without it being possible at the same time for
a rod to slip out of position. The apparatus is used in the following way.
After the four rods of a frame have been mitred and glued at the ends, they
are laid in the angles on the blocks A, B, C, D, and the cord which runs on the
pulley E inside the blocks is tightened by means of the drum G. The blocks A, B,
C, D, move in guides H, J, in the direction towards the block D and press the
frame firmly together. Thereupon the pawl is put into the ratchet wheel L.
The frame is then left in the apparatus until the glue, which has previously is
quite dry.
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 :
Clamping apparatus for use in glueing up picture-frames, distinguished by the
arrangement of blocks, guided in the dove-tail shaped grooves of a rectangular
frame and capable of being drawn together by a cord running over a pulley and
wound on a drum adjustable by means of a click and ratchet wheel.

Improvements in Paving Blocks.
I, CARL LUDWIG SCHNAKENBURG of Olvenstedtstrasse 68, Magdeburg, in the
German Empire, 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 cement, concrete or similar paving blocks and more
particularly to the blocks or flags employed in paving footpaths.
As ordinarily constructed these flags consist of a single block of concrete or the
like and possess several disadvantages notably that of having slippery surfaces.
They are also easily worn out and crack under sudden changes of temperature.
In addition they are costly to manufacture and difficult to repair or replace.
A paving block made according to this invention consists of several smaller
blocks flexibly joined together by strips of cane or the like.
The accompanying drawings reference to which is made hereinafter illustrate a
paving block constructed to embody these improvements.
Figure 1 shews the block in plan.
Figure 2 illustrates a section along the line - Figure 1.
Arranged within a suitable frame or mould are the strips of paste board or
similar material 6 through which the canes cc' are threaded or passed. The spaces
between the paste board strips are then filled with cement concrete or the like in
any desired or well known manner. After having set the complete block is
removed from the mould and is ready for use. The division of the different
parts a constituting the complete block offer a perfect remedy against cracking
under sudden changes of temperature or from being laid upon an uneven bed, and,
in addition, the spaces between the different parts, together with the interposed
paste board or similar material, offer a firm foothold and prevent slipping.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the aature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Paving blocks of cement, concrete or the like material, constructed substantially
as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Shirts.
I, CHARLES INGHAM HADEN of Fremantle Cottage Trowbridge Engineer, do.
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Shirts as at present made have the front of the tail or skirt undivided, and
consequently it has a tendency to become bunched at the pit of the stomach or at the
commencement of the fork, which often causes an uncomfortable feeling.
My invention consists in forming a slit or opening in the front of the tail starting
a few inches below the waist and continueing downwards to the bottom of same.
I cause one of the flaps to lap over the other about two inches, either by cutting
the tail rather full and forming a gather above the slit, or by adding a band, or in
any other suitable way.
I find these improvements prevent bunching and cause the tail to lie comfortably
on the person.

Shirts and the like as at present used are made with the front of the tail or
skirt undivided and it is frequently found that this portion of the shirt or other
article of underclothing becomes bunched in an uncomfortable manner at or near
the pit of the wearer's stomach.
My invention consists in forming a slit or opening in the front of the tail or skirt
commencing at a few inches from below the waist and continuing downwards to the
bottom of the tail or skirt.
I cause one of the flaps thus made to lap over the other say about two inches,
this may be done by adding a piece of suitable material or by any other simple
means.
I will now describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings

retired Overlooker, and FRANCIS GILLET, of 45 Warton Street, Lytham
aforesaid, Joiner, 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 prevent the shuttle tongue pin of a loom
shuttle from working out of place endwise and the damage resulting therefrom to
the reed on one side of the shuttle and by the breaking of the weft on the other.
Heretofore it has been the practice to drive the said pin tightly within a hole passing
completely through from one side of the shuttle to the other and in actual work it
is found that the constant shaking of the shuttle or some other cause loosens the
pin with the resulting damage referred to.
According to our invention we make the shuttle tongue pin of such a length as
to project somewhat through each side of the shuttle tongue head but to extend
only a part of the way across the body of the shuttle and we insert the said pin in
its required position within two opposite grooves from the underside of the shuttle
the ordinary back spring pressing on the back of the shuttle tongue head in the
usual way and holding the pin securely in place against the ends of the grooves.

page_text: DIRECTIONS HOW TO APPLY THE INVENTION TO THE SOLE LEATHER.
Prepare, if possible, new soles without nails and if they have been used already,
they should be carefully cleaned of all dirt. Besmear twice thoroughly soles and
heels with the oil standing on the top of the unstirred mixture. When the oil has
properly soaked in, stir up the contents of the tin with a piece of wood or a nail, so
that no settlement whatever is left, and apply a thick coating with a brush or
fingers. After about 12 hours, the shoes or boots can be worn.
To secure a
thorough penetration, another coating should be given after about six days with
the paint in the tin properly stirred up. The mixture keeps for years. The tin
must be closed after use and should the contents thicken after a period, it may be
thinned with linseed oil.
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 mixture for treating sole leather to preserve it and render it watertight,
consisting of the substances specified and combined substantially in the proportions
set forth.

I, WILLIAM TOLHURST, of The Baths, Marsh Street, Ashford, in the County
of Kent, Salesman, 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 my invention is the efficient ventilation of boots and shoes.
My improved arrangement for this purpose is illustrated in the accompanying
drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a plan, and
Fig. 2 section of a boot or shoe sole.
The perforated discs or plates ab are capable of being so arranged relatively to
one another that the perforations may be open or closed as desired, that is to say
the lower disc a turns on a central pivot or stud fixed to disc or plate b.
When it is required to admit fresh air through the ventilator to the interior of
the boot or shoe, the disc a is rotated so as to bring the holes or perforations
therein opposite the holes or perforations in the upper plate b.
The air will then pass through and into, the boot or shoe by means of the tubes
or channels cc formed or embedded in the sole. In case of wet weather or other
circumstances rendering it desirable to close the ventilator, the disc a is turned to
bring the holes or perforations therein between the holes or perforations on the
other disc or plate b, so as to prevent the further admission of air.
The precise arrangement of the tubes or channels c c may be varied according to
the particular kind of boot or shoe to which the system is applied.
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

Year: 1895

page_text: Improvements in Steam Sprays.
I, GUILLAUME ARNAUD NUSSBAUM Civil Engineer, of 29, Ludgate Hill E.C.
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:—
My invention consists in the following improvements:
A new combination of steam nozzle & spray tube, in order to obtain a simple
reliable, and powerful spray, suitable for unskilled persons, and which can be
produced in a commercial way.
And a boiler stand or support constructed in such manner as to surround the
lower part of the boiler with a hot jacket allowing to obtain a strong head of
steam by utilizing to its greatest advantage the heat generated by the lamp of the
apparatus.
The steam nozzle Fig. I & II consists of a small metal disc A provided at its
lower part with a heel piece B. bent forward. A circular aperture C, of the
diameter of steam tube is countersunk in the centre at the back of the disc, and a
very small hole D for the passage of steam is drilled in its centre, the heel piece B
is perforated with a hole into which the spray tube E is soldered in such manner
that its point covers half the steam hole D. The disc is then soldered to the steam
tube F and a flexible tube is attached to the spray tube E.
The hot air jacket for the boiler G, Fig. I is obtained by simply bending inward
the upper part of the gallery H of boiler stand as illustrated by dotted lines.
A series of holes I in the upper part of the gallery allows the hot air to escape
after having imparted part of its heat to the water contained in boiler G.
Fig. 111 shows the construction of safety valve used in my spray.
The action of this little apparatus is as follows: When steam is generated in the
boiler, it issues with great force from the steam hole D and creates a vacuum or
partial vacuum above the spray tube and the atmospheric pressure acting on the
liquid contained in the vessel L forces it out of the spray point, where it is
atomized by the steam jet from hole D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. In a steam spray the combination of steam nozzle and spray point in the
manner described for the purpose of obtaining a powerful spray.
2. In a steam spray the hot air jacket surrounding the boiler substantially as
herein described.
3. The improved steam spray described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.

When the glass mass in the space a has become clear the block in front of the
opening of the channel c is removed and the slide i raised after, either by closing
the air holes or by opening the gas passage o, the chamber 6 has been so far heated
that the slide i can be raised and the melted mass flow into said chamber.
The rib s must be somewhat higher than the channel c so that the glass mass
when it has spread over both spaces will reach at least to the height of said
channel. After the passage of the glass mass into the chamber b the slide i is
lowered and the mass in b cooled down by opening the air holes until it is half
congealed or half set and is left in this state. The half congealed mass effectually
bars the way of the molten glass through the chamber b and the melting and
clarification of the next charge of the cuvette A, which may be filled nearly up to
the bottom of the gas passage o, may be effected with the greatest ease.
When the mass in the spaces A and a is clear and ready, that in the chamber b
by opening the gas passage o is again liquified and the slides i and 2 raised, the
glass mass then flowing into the working cuvette B after being cooled down in the
chamber d to the temperature most favourable for working or manufacture. Before
the whole of the mass has flowed away, that is, so soon as the rib s is visible out of
the same, the slides i and 2 are lowered whereby so much of the mass is retained
in the chamber b as will serve for barring the passage through the channel c.
chamber is then again cooled and the process described performed over again.
The
It is clear that in this way only glass mass in a clear state can reach the working
cuvette B, further that by the arrangement of the channels c and c' and of the
apertures o and the flow of material may at any time be regulated, suspended and
recommenced.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. Process for the production of clear plate glass in cuvette glass furnaces in the
manner that the glass mass is prevented from passing from the melting place into
the working place and through the passage between said melting and working
places during the performance of the melting and clarifying operations by the
detention of a half congealed or half set previous charge in the connecting passage
by which means the outlet channels are shut off, substantially as described and
shewn.
2. For the performance of the process referred to in Claim 1, a glass furnace in
which a chamber bis arranged in a connecting passage between a melting
chamber A and working chamber B and closeable against both chambers A and B,
said chamber b being capable of being kept cooler than the melting chamber, for
the purpose specified substantially as described with reference to the drawing.

Improvements in Syphon Flushing Tanks.
I MILTON SYER of 36 Rye Lane Peckham in the County of Surrey Merchant-
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In a flushing tank I provide and fix a syphon pipe which is trapped at one end,.
opening into the flush pipe. Connected to this syphon pipe I fix another but
smaller one and operated by means of a valve which is opened by an electro-
magnet or pneumatic lifting arrangement. The action is the same as mentioned in.
my Patent 5743/94 only in place of the weighted valve I substitute the trapped:
syphon pipe. When the smaller syphon is started the water drains the air out
from the larger syphon and causes a vacuum, which the water fills and so starts:
the large syphon. Sometimes I start the small syphon by means of a chain pull.
and lever to open the valve or charge the syphon is a most convenient way.

I MILTON SYER of 36 Rye Lane Peckham in the County of Surrey 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 :-
In a flushing tank I provide and fix a syphon pipe which is trapped at one end
opening into the flush pipe. Connected to this syphon pipe I fix another but

magnet or pneumatic lifting arrangement.
Sometimes the valve is opened by means of a lever or chain pull. The action
is the same as mentioned in my Patent 5743/94 only in place of the weighted valve.
I substitute the trapped syphon pipe.
When the smaller syphon is started the falling water draws the air out from the-
larger syphon causing a vacuum which the water fills so starting the large syphon..
The explanation of drawing is as follows viz.; From the union F. is taken a.
length of "bore pipe in a perpendicular position, avoiding bends or traps, the
object is to give the water in this pipe as straight a fall as possible.
The other end of this pipe is then connected into the flush pipe or over a most
convenient waste sink. Provided the cistern is charged with water on the valve B.
being opened water is allowed to pass down pipe E. so starting the syphon D..
which draws the air thro' pipe C. and causes the large syphon to start and give the
desired flush.
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 :-

Improvements in and connected with Pen-holders.
I, THEODOR LEHMBECK, of 23 Spener Strasse, of Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, 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 a pen-holder, in which the ink is produced from a piece
of solid ink by dipping the pen and said piece of solid ink simultaneously into
water. There is, thus, the employment of a special reservoir containing liquid ink
entirely dispensed with, and the pen-holder may be used at any place, where water
only is to be had.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawing,
in which I have shown a longitudinal section through my improved pen-holder, and
in which:
a is the holder proper having at its working-end the clamp for the peu c.
A short tube d of small diameter is fixed to said clamp, or to any other suitable part
or projection of the shell a, and contains a piece e of solid ink, the projecting end
of which is pressed against the front portion of the pen by means of a spring or
tongue f.
If the pen-holder is to be used, the pen as well as the extreme front-end of the
piece of solid ink need simply be dipped into water, when a drop of the latter will
be held by adhesion between the pen and the solid ink, and a slight portion of the
latter will be turned into liquid ink, which may now be used for writing.
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 a pen-holder, the combination with the holder proper and pen, of a piece
of solid ink arranged so as to lie with one end close to the pen, for the purpose as
described.
2. In a pen-holder, the combination with the holder proper and pen, of a piece
of solid ink held by the holder proper, and projecting as much as to lie close to the
pen, for the purpose as described.
3. In a pen-holder, the combination with the holder proper and pen, of a piece
of solid ink held by a shell or tube secured to the holder proper, and projecting as
much as to lie close to the pen; said projecting end being supported by a spring or
tongue, for the purpose as described.
