Improvements in Baking Tins for Bread, Cakes, and the like.
We, WILLIAM KING BAKER, GEORGE SAMUEL BAKER, and PHILIP BARTON
BAKER, of 58 City Road, in the County of Middlesex, Engineers, 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 which relates to baking tins for bread, cakes and the like will
be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly broken away and
Figure 2 a transverse section of one form of baking-tin constructed according to
our invention, and
Figures 3 and 4 are views respectively similar to Figures 1 and 2 of another
form of baking tin.
Like letters represent like parts throughout the drawings.
The word "tin as herein used applies to the complete structure and not to the
metal of which it is composed as the tin if desired may be made of any suitable
metal other than tin.
The principal object of this invention is to make the tin A with rounded corners
or ends as at A' so that when the "peels" are pushed under them for placing them
in or removing them from the oven, neither the said peels nor the tins will be
damaged as they frequently are when used with tins having sharp corners or ends.
The tin A may either be made in the manner shown in Figures 1 and 2 wherein
the seams A joining together the three main pieces A³ A' A³ used in its construction,
are laid against the sides A³ as shown in Figures 1 and 2 by which its bottom
would be free to rest wholly on the oven floor, or in the manner shown in Figures 3
and 4 wherein the seams A² are laid against the bottom A' and support the main
part of the bottom at a slight distance away from the oven floor.
The upper edge of the tin A may be wired as shown in the accompanying
drawings or otherwise finished-off.
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. A baking tin having rounded corners or ends such as A' substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. A baking tin having rounded corners or ends such as A' in which the seams A
are laid against the sides substantially as described and illustrated in Figures 1
and 2 of the accompanying drawings.
3. A baking tin having rounded corners or ends such as A' and the seams A²
laid against the bottom substantially as described and illustrated in Figures 3 and 4
of the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Drying "Slip" and Evaporating Liquids.
Year: 1893

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Drying "Slip" and
Evaporating Liquids.
I, SAMUEL PEAKE of Gillow Heath, near Congleton, Potter, 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 :-
This invention relates to "slip" kilns employed for preparing clay used more
particularly by potters in the manufacture of tiles, Jet and Rockingham ware, and
the like. It has hitherto been the practice to perform the operation of evaporating
the moisture from the clay by means of a kiln or evaporating pan heated either
by a number of fires from beneath or by means of a steam jacket surrounding the
same. Owing to the dense nature of the material the heat from the fires or steam
jacket has a difficulty in penetrating and hence the operation has been greatly
protracted.
Now my invention has for its object to so distribute the necessary heat to the
material that the evaporating process shall be considerably shortened and be
effected at a considerably less cost than heretofore.
On the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 represents a plan view and Fig. 2 a cross section of so much of my
improved "slip" kiln as is necessary to make my improvements clear.
In carrying out my invention I provide the kiln with a series of steam pipes A, A, A,
connected together at their respective extremities as illustrated so as to allow for
expansion and form a gridded or zig-zag formation. Steam is admitted at B
and C, passes along the entire length of piping and escapes through the outlet
pipe D, where a steam trap may be employed. At the commencement of the
evaporating process the pipes are lowered slightly below the surface of the liquid
clay and as the moisture is evaporated the pipes are lowered still further step by
step into the liquid until the required depth is reached.
In order to allow for the lowering of the pipes A, A, A, in a ready and
convenient manner, swivel unions E (see Figs. 3 and 4) are provided or any other
convenient form of joint or connection is employed.
The steam pipes A, A, A are, by preference, lowered into the "slip" by means
of chains F, capable of being wound upon a shaft or axle G, and by means of the
rods or frames H. When the evaporating process is completed the chains F are
employed for raising the pipes A, A, A, out of the kiln.
This improved arrangement of steam pipes is equally applicable to other purposes
where evaporation of liquids is required.
Having thus 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
For evaporating moisture from "slip" and other substances requiring the
evaporation of their moisture the use and employment of steam pipes A, A, A, or
their equivalent capable of being lowered into the said substances substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described.

Improved Brake for Cycles.
I, GEORGE CHARLES TOPP, Civil Engineer Brandon Lodge Wood Green
London N. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I propose to construct the cranks or pedals of cycles in form of a clutch, that,
when worked in ordinary manner grips tightly, the teeth of the clutch being so
constructed for the purpose. When the brake is put on the rider presses his
foot down so as to bring the crank to rest. The effect of this is to force the
parts of clutch asunder, the motion of the machine drawing the chain forward
and with it one side of the clutch. The clutch is fitted on side of chain wheel,
with a strong spring of rubber or steel, which presses the two parts forcibly
together; and when the crank is brought to rest, the friction or resistance
between these parts when forced asunder is so great, owing to the teeth or
facets of clutch grinding that a powerful brake power is produced instantly.

Pou Dan Cycles.
GEORGE CHARLES TOPP of Brandon Lodge Wood Green London N. Civil
Engineer 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 :-
I propose to construct the driving gear of cycles with a clutch on the crank
axle or on the rear wheel axle. This clutch is kept in position by a strong
spring which presses the two sides together. To put the brake in action the
crank is brought to rest by the foot, the impetus of the machine carries round
the gear wheel the clutch is thus forced open and the contraction of the spring
caused thereby produces friction between parts of the clutch and thus gives a
powerful brake.
Fig. 1. A is the crank. B one side of clutch wheel which engages with the
crank by lugs I. I. C is second side of clutch fixed to gear wheel D in a
suitable manner. E is crank axle. F is spring. L is cotter pin. A washer
may be placed between the faces of the clutch inside the teeth to reduce the noise.
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 a clutch gear with a strong spring so as to form a
brake, substantially as described.

A New or Improved Cowl for Chimney and Ventilating Shaft Tops.
I, JOHANN LUDWIG LENERT, of House Number 153, Gonsenheim, near Mainz
Germany. Gardener, 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 cowl for chimney and ventilating
shaft tops by which certain advantages are attained.
The object of this invention is the manufacture of a chimney-cowl, which by its
peculiar construction will prevent the blowing back of smoke into a chimney, and
the appearance of it in a house, or a down draught in a ventilating shaft.
I will now proceed by the aid of the accompanying diagrammatic drawings to
describe in what manner I carry my invention into effect.
Figure is a plan of a chimney cowl constructed in accordance with my
invention.
Figure 2 is a section, in plan, of the same.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the same.
I prefer to make my cowl of sheet-iron. I construct my apparatus with a lower
part a by which it may be fitted on a chimney top in such a manner that the cowl
may turn freely upon it. The sides are bent inwards and fitted with two
doors d d' which are suspended and turn on hinges ccl. These doors are connected
together by a connecting rod f by means of hooks g g' or other suitable devices and
in such a manner that the opening of the door d causes the closing of the door d'
(Figures 1 and 2) and vice vers (shown by dotted lines in Figure 1).
On the upper part of the chimney cowl a vane h is fitted of such a size and in
such a direction relative to the doors d d' that the chimney cowl always takes up
such a position that one of its sides say b' is turned towards the wind.
Suppose that under the action of the wind this position has already been obtained
then the pressure of the wind will close the door d' whilst the door & will be opened
by means of the rod f.
Not only is a down draught, caused by the wind blowing down the chimney, thus
prevented but the action of the wind will exert a sucking power on the air in the
chimney, thus improving the upward draught.
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. A ventilating chimney cowl in which the combination of two doors connected
by a rod are so arranged as to cause the wind to exercise a draught on the air in a
chimney, substantially as described.
2. A ventilating chimney cowl in which the combination of two opposite doors,
turning on hinges, and connected by a rod are arranged in such a manner that the
closing of the door turned towards the wind causes the opposite door to be opened
thereby preventing the wind blowing into the chimney.

Meridian.
I WASHINGTON HUDSON of 2 Elliscombe Villas Charlton in the County of
Kent, Consulting Engineer 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 :-
The object of my invention is to combine with a watch or portable clock a third
hand revolving once in twenty four hours or at half the speed of the hour hand and
in the same direction, so as to determine or indicate the meridian or north when the
hour hand is pointed to the sun.
To set the third hand-At noon when the hour hand is at twelve (XII) the third
hand should be at VI. Then if the hour hand is directed to the sun, the meridian
hand will point to the north, and will continue to do so at any time provided the
watch is going, and is held in this position.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1. is a view of the watch face and hands.
A is the hour hand made little longer in the direction of D. B, is the minute
hand. C, is the third or meridian hand.
Fig. 2, is an enlarged diagram of the gear under the face.
E, represents the three pivots and sockets of the hands, one inside the other, each
hand is held by friction for adjustment and driven seperately.
F, and G, are wheels geared together of any ratio to suit the required speed of
the third hand, which must be half that of the hour hand, or one revolution in
twenty four hours..
It may be necessary or convenient to add other wheels to suit the arrangement
of the watch, but in most cases the ordinary back gear centre will suffice for
carrying or fixing the wheels for driving the third hand.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is
A compass watch or clock having a third hand combined and geared with it, so
as to determine the north or meridian when the hour hand is pointed to the sun
substantially as described and set forth.

Improvements in Paraffin Stoves.
We, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junior, and FREDERICK SHERWOOD of 44 to 50
Granville Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick Lamp 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:—
This invention relates to paraffin stoves used for boiling water for cooking and
other purposes.
The object of this invention is to improve the heating power of paraffin stoves
and is carried out in the manner as hereinafter described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawing.
It consists of a contrivance for regulating the progress of the air from the outside
of the wick to the flame and from the inside of the wick to the flame.
Inside the wick tube A is the tube B occupying about ths the internal
diameter of the wick tube and projecting slightly above the height of the wick
tube.
Outside the wick tube is a plate C attached to the chimney rest projecting
towards the spreader sufficiently to guide, regulate, and direct the air to obtain the
greatest possible amount of heat.
The chimney rest has also a flange or collar D for the same purpose, i.e. the
flange D and the plate C operate together in such a manner as to regulate and
direct the air as required.
Thus it will be perceived that this invention consist in arranging the tube B and
the plate C and collar or flange D so as to regulate the air inside and outside the
wick tube, as to prevent the wick from burning at the sides and to force the gas or
vapour from the sides upwards so that it mixes with the atmospheric air producing
an intensely hot oxygen and hydrogen flame.
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 :-
The method for increasing the heat in paraffin stoves as hereinbefore described

And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation, and Fig. 2 a transverse sectional
elevation of my invention.
a is a perforated cylinder, the perforations being made to correspond with the
size of the particles of meal or other substances to pass through the same. bbare
segmental ribs attached to the cylinder, and so formed as to assist in retaining the
form of the cylinder a. The ribs are fitted slightly diagonally, and each end is
chambered off in one direction, as shown. cc are spokes attached to the axle d
and to the cylinder a, as shown. The cylinder is mounted in bearings at e e, and
may be driven by a pulley f connected with any suitable motive power.
The meal to be screened or sifted, is caused to enter the cylinder at one end, as
indicated by the arrow. The rotation of the cylinder causes the meal to be lifted
and also to travel towards the opposite end, by the action of the ribs bb; the
finer particles falling through the perforations, and the larger particles being
carried to the further end; such particles as may be too large to pass through the
perforations, being carried outwards at the end.
The cylinder may be mounted horizontally, or at any angle deviating therefrom,
to assist the movements of the meal in the cylinder.
The materials forming the screen, the dimensions of the ribs, and other details,
may be very much varied to suit the materials to be screened and the degree of
fineness to be secured.
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. An improved rotary sieve a, the periphery of which is fitted internally with
diagonal ribs bb for supporting the periphery and carrying the material to be

CODILMIM SI MUIFICATION.
A Cravat Holder.
I JOHANN PAPIESZ, Cutter, of 199 Linienstrasse, Berlin, 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 cravat holder which is the object of the present invention may be bent from
one single piece of steel wire or stamped in one piece from steel plate, and it is to
replace the rubber loop hitherto used.
On the annexed drawing
Fig. 1 shows the back view of a necktie provided with the new holder.
Figs. 2 & 3 show on a larger scale the front and side views of a cravat holder
formed from bent steel wire.
Fig. 4 is a view of another form of the article.
Figs. 5 to 7 show by front view, side view and horizontal section a cravat holder
stamped from steel plate. For greater clearness the view Fig. 5 is made as if the
stamping were flat.
Both cravat holders are so bent or stamped as to have a loop a of any required
shape to receive the shirt stud or button b. Under the loop a is a slot cwith
sides d bent outwards and allowing the introduction of the button b. The ends e of
the spring wire can, as in Fig. 2 slightly pass over each other, or they can butt
together, or as in Fig. 4. they can remain free. On the introduction of the button
into the loop a through the slot c the ends e spring outwards, closing together
again and holding the button firmly in the loop a so that it cannot be displaced in
any direction. The same is the case with the cravat holder stamped out of steel
plate Figs. 5 to 7. This has a U shaped section-Fig. 7. Its centre part is
divided, by the slot c into two halves which may be solid or with parts f cut away.
These halves are only connected at the lower part by g to the outside rim and are
furthermore divided by slots so that they can spring outwards.
The fastening of this holder to the cravat is effected without sewing, riveting,
clips &c. On the side arms i are formed, opposite to each other, two loops k bent
(Figs. 1-4) or stamped (Fig. 5 to 7). These loops are taken through the material
of the cravat and are held fast by means of a pin or needle which is pushed
through. This method of fastening is very easy and quick to effect, and
exceptionally durable. The particular arrangements herein described form.
examples only and many other forms are possible.

Improvements in Under Garments.
I, ALBERT HIS, of Murgenthal in the Republic of Switzerland, 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 for improvements in under garments has for its object to keep
in place the shoulder of elastic-rib under-garments such as vests and combinations,
and consists in providing means whereby the elastic rib at the top of the shoulder
is prevented from stretching to such an extent as to allow the shoulder to slide
down over the arms of the wearer whilst it can stretch sufficiently to fit itself to
the wearer.
In a garment constructed according to this invention, a piece of tubular or flat
knitted-web is secured at the top of the shoulder at right angles to the rib of
the garment and extending from the neck opening to the sleeve. The knitted web
may be inserted between the front and back part of the garment or fastened over
or under the top of the shoulder. The knitted web has a limited elasticity longi-
tudinally which is sufficient to allow the garment to fit itself to the wearer but
insufficient to allow the shoulder to slide down the arms of the wearer.
The accompanying illustration shows the knitted web a inserted between the
front b and back c of the garment at the top of the shoulder, and extends from
the neck opening d to the sleeve e. Preferably the web a is knitted tubular with a
one and one stitch and is inserted between the back and front so as not to increase
the thickness at this part.
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 :
In elastic-web under-garments securing a knitted web at the top of the shoulder
between the back and the front, and at right angles to the rib substantially as
described.

Improvements in Adjustable Frames for Stretching or Drying
Stockings.
I, JOHANN CHRISTIAN POPLEU of 72 Bartel Strasse, Hamburg in the German
Empire, Carpenter, 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 frames upon which stockings are dried or stretched and
its object is to construct these frames in such a manner that they may be easily
adjusted to suit different sizes of stockings and so that the stockings may be easily
placed upon them and withdrawn.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate in what manner this invention may
be carried into effect and reference to which is hereinafter made,
Figure 1 is a representation of a longitudinal section of the adjustable frame
reduced to its smallest dimensions.
Figure 2 is an illustration of a similar view of the frame in its expanded
state, and
Figure 3 is a cross section taken along the line - Figure 2.
On referring to the drawings it will be seen that the apparatus in shape roughly
approximates to that of the human leg and foot. The side bars are constructeil
of metal or of other suitable material, and are preferably U shaped or channelled in
cross section. Extending along the centre of the frame are the two parallel
bars and movably connected together by the staples gh so that they are capable
of independently longitudinal motion. The bark has pivoted to it links c d e f
the other ends of which are connected to the side bars a b. The arm m carrying
the sliding toe part 7 of the apparatus is pivoted at n to the lower end of the bar i.
This part is movable through the rod i so as to slide in and out of the tubular
lower parts of the frame.
In the operation of drying or stretching a stocking the frame is collapsed as
shewn in Figure 1 and the stocking is drawn over it. The bars and are provided
respectively with handles by means of which relative longitudinal motion may
be imparted to the bars so as to cause the frame to assume the expanded position
indicated in Figure 2. The side bars a b of the frame as well as the toe part!
are all moved outwards so that the stocking is under an equal strain in all
directions.
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 an apparatus for drying or stretching stockings, the combination of parallel
movable rods or bars side bars connecting links and a sliding toe part, all constructed
and arranged substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
:
2. An apparatus for stretching and drying stockings constructed and arranged
substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.

Improved Method of Heating Liquids by Electricity.
I CHARLES HENRY PRICHARD of 81 Ashley Gardens, Victoria Street, in the
County of London, 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 an improved method of heating liquids by electricity
and is more particularly applicable for domestic purposes, such as for heating water
for shaving or for making tea or coffee.
And in order that ny said invention may be understood I will refer to the
drawings accompanying this Specification.
Similar letters are employed to denote the same parts in both views.
a shews a vessel to contain the water or other liquid to be heated, b. shews an
incandescent electric lamp of the Edison Swan type and c. shews an ordinary Edison
Swan bayonet socket connected therewith in the ordinary way, d. is the ordinary
screw collar screwed on said socket, e is an india rubber ring or washer, f. is a neck
formed on the vessel a so that upon screwing up the collar d. the ring or washer e
will be pressed tightly between the lamp b and the bottom of the vessel a so as to
keep such vessel water tight and also keep the lamp fully in position shews the
lead the other ends of which are fitted to an ordinary wall socket so as to connect
same with the main circuit.
Fig. 2 shews the lamp applied to the cover h. of the vessel instead of to the bottom
of vessel as in Fig. 1 but in this case the cover would be a loose one.
It will be found that upon switching on the current that the water or other liquid
will be rapidly heated by the radiation of heat from the lamp even to boiling point
if required, and the lamp being tightly fitted to the bottom or cover of the vessel a
will be held perfectly steady.
Instead of having the neck f. as aforesaid I may fill up the space between the
bottom of the vessel a. and the collar d. with a washer or washers.
The vessel a may be made of any suitable material but I prefer to make it of
glass as in this case it will give out light in addition to heating the liquid.
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.
1. Heating liquids by means of electric vacuum lamps fitted in a vessel to contain
such liquid substantially as set forth.
2. The improved method of heating liquids substantially as set forth.

Sheffield, 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 application of an elongated opening in a trap (used
for the purpose of preventing the escape of noxious gases) which may either be
placed at the sides or at the bottom part of the trap. The length & width of the
elongated opening will be sufficient to allow of the trap being cleared of any
refuse which may lodge in it. The refuse can be cleared by wire or any other
suitable substance. Attached to the casting I have two upright pillars or spindles
the ends of which are screwed to suit the wing-nuts or any other kind of nuts.
I make a lid or cover to fit the elongated opening in which are two holes which
will pass over the spindles. The cover is screwed down or fastened by two loose
nuts placed on the top of the spindles. In order to make the cover or lid airtight
or watertight I place an india rubber band or any other suitable substance inside a
groove, the latter being shewn in drawing by the dark line in A. This article to
be made in brass or any other suitable metal.
A shows the lid to cover the elongated opening in trap which is provided with a
groove in which or on the surface of the trap is placed an india rubber band or any
other suitable substance.
BB are the spindles used to guide the cover or lid to its position on which nuts
are placed to screw the cover to its position.

Improvements in the Construction of Bricks for Securing a Perfect
Joint and Bond.
I, STEPHEN ISAAC ADAMS, of "Ravenhurst" York Road Southend-on-Sea,
Essex, Surveyor, 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 :-
Bricks as heretofore made with the ordinary frog do not adequatly answer the
desired purpose of securing a perfect joint and bond.
I remedy these defects by constructing a brick with a "dovetail-keyed" frog
which extends the whole length of the brick except in the case of headers for
faced work where the frog is stopped at the face end of brick as shown.
By this mode of constructing bricks the mortar will key the bricks together,
thus not relying entirely on the adhesion of the mortar to the bricks as in the
ordinary bricks and further the continious frog or key will insure a thorough
bond.
Having now particulary 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 method of constructing bricks with a "dovetail-keyed" frogs in the
manner as above explained.

Improvements in Soles for Slippers.
I JOSEPH LESTER VERO of Long Street Atherstone in the County of
Warwick Sock 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 improvements in outer slipper soles which are
made and sold ready for the purpose of sewing by hand or machine to worked or
wool uppers.
Slipper soles for making up worked or wool uppers are at present made of
leather, cork, wood, and like materials with the inner lining made same size as the
outer sole.
According to my invention I employ leather or any other suitable material
for the outer sole, and the inner lining which I stick or stitch to the outer sole
and which is made of sheep skin, lamb skin, felt, or any other suitable material I
make a little larger than the outer sole, leaving the edge of the lining extended
beyond the edge of the outer sole, sufficient to form a welt to sew the upper to.
In some cases I groove and perforate the outer sole round the outside edge the
former to protect the stitching and the latter for the needle to pass through in
sewing the sole by hand to the upper, in this instance I make the inner lining a
little smaller than the outer sole leaving the outer sole extended beyond the edge
of the inner lining, sufficient to show the perforated holes on the inner side of the
sole for more easily sewing the soles to the uppers.
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,
1st. The inner lining to be extended beyond the edge of the outer sole.
2nd. The outer sole to be extended beyond the edge of the inner lining, for the
purpose of making the extended edges to sew the uppers to as above described,
which makes a much neater, stronger, and more durable slipper sole than any other
now in use.
