Improved Means for Preventing the Shrinking of Flannel Shirt
Collars.
I, Ross WILLAUME HAYTER, Tea Planter of Shamshernugger, Sylhet, Assam,
India, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in the application to flannel shirt collars, after washing and
before drying, of a metal collar or hoop, having a stud attached, the flannel collar
being stretched round the metal collar and secured by its button holes on the stud of
the latter, in which position the flannel collar is left to dry, and from which it is by
preference not removed until the shirt is to be worn. Thus the shrinking of the
Hannel collar to a smaller size than the metal collar is effectually prevented.
The metal collar is made in suitable sizes for different sized shirts;" it may bo
painted, japanned or covered with leather or other material.

page_text: NEWTON, Foreman, of the same place, do hereby declare the nature of our invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our improvement consists in applying apparatus to the front catch bar of twist
lace curtain machines to enable the attendant to easily raise up the catch bar
above the carriages to afford room to withdraw or insert a carriage, or for other
purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS,
Figure 1 shows a right side view of the apparatus and Figure 2.a front view.
To each of the three or more central standards A of a twist lace curtain machine
we secure a bearing B in which a shaft C rocks, the shaft has three or more
arms D forged upon it, each of which is turned up true to a right angle to the
shaft and secured by a screw to an arm D¹ having a curved slot, the lower end of
the arm is provided with a cap held to it by a screw, the arm and cap being bored
out to clip the shaft, the central arm shown at Figure 1 is provided with a flange D³
projecting from its front edge which is secured by screws to a metal lever D³ which
is held in the position shown at Figure 1 by a pin E which slides in the outer end
of an arm A' projecting from the front of the standard, the pin being held in a
hole in the lever D³ by a spring E¹ having its back end secured to the standard
and its front forked end taking into a groove on the pin, the outer end of which
forms a handle by which the attendant is enabled to withdraw the pin from the
lever to release it from the arm.
When the pin is withdrawn the attendant can lower the lever by the following
means, to the left side of the arm A¹ a bracket G is secured which forms an axle at
its right end on which a hand lever F turns, the lower end of the lever projects at
the front and carries an axle pin projecting from its left side on which a truck F1
revolves and presses upon the lever D³.
In the slot of each arm D¹ a truck H slides the truck being carried by an axle
pin secured to the upper outer end of an arm formed by prolonging the foot H¹
which carries the usual axle pin H' for operating the catch bar H³.
The apparatus is operated as follows:-
The attendant pulls the handle F slightly towards him to enable him to with-
draw the pin E from the arm D³, he then pulls the lever further down, such
movement causes the shaft C to rock and move the three or more slotted levers
outwards, carrying the trucks H with them and causing the axle pins H³ to rock

IMPROVEMENTS IN LAWN TENNIS COURT MARKING MACHINES
Year: 1886

page_text: HAWE
"
We, JOSEPH HIRST, JOHN HIRST and ALFRED HIRST of the firm of B. Hirst and
Sons of Halifax Yorkshire, Machine Makers do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN LAWN TENNIS COURT MARKING MACHINES and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention has reference to certain new and useful mechanism to be employed
in expeditiously marking out lawn tennis courts, and this we propose to do by
means of a kind of water wheel caused to rotate within a box supplied with white
marking liquid which is lifted out of the said box by the revolving water wheel
and dropped onto a small fixed inclined plate or table and from which it runs to a
wheel running in contact with the ground for the purpose of marking the same in
a proper manner.
Such being the nature and object of our invention we will now proceed to
describe the same more fully and for that purpose make reference to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings which illustrates our machine.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 is a section and Fig. 3 is a plan view wherein
A is the liquid box, B the water wheel fixed upon the shaft C carrying two
wheels D for supporting the box. E is another wheel and is employed to mark the
ground as hereinafter explained, and F is an inclined receiving table bolted to the
inner side of the box.
We wish here to observe that the table F does not touch either of the wheels B
and E.
When the machine is in use, a suitable quantity of marking liquid is placed into
the box when it is pushed over the grass. The water wheel then commences to
rotate and in doing which the buckets or dishes a placed around the edge of the
said wheel B lift up the liquid and empty themselves when descending in the
direction of the arrow.
The liquid then falls upon the plate or table F and runs from there onto the
marking roller E which transfers it to the ground whereby it is marked in any
desirable manner and this goes on as long as there is any liquid in the box; and
in addition to the water wheel B lifting the liquid out of the box, it constantly
agitates the liquid.

page_text: By the combination and arrangement of mechanism such as is herein described
an easy, compact, and certain tennis court marker is designed, and one not likely
to get soon out of order.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is,
The use and employment of the water wheel B in combination with fixed
inclined plate F and marking wheel E in manner and for purposes substantially as
described.

page_text: I MATTHEW WILSON of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention, is to so construct or form a child's feeding apron that
the lower part can be set upon the table and serve as a tray on which a plate, cup,
or other like article containing food can be placed.
The tray like portion of the apron will prevent spilt food flowing on to the
tablecloth and the upper part which forms a bib prevents the child soiling his or
her clothes, the apron being removable from the child at will.
For the purpose of my invention, I form the two sides from say about the waist
to the bottom and along the bottom with a somewhat stiff raised or turned up
edge said stiffening being from the material, preferably waterproof cloth, or from
an insertion or lacing of some semi rigid material such as strips of steel, wire,
whalebone, cane, woven horse hair, buckram, cord, rubber or the like.

page_text: An Improved Construction or Formation of Feeding Apron for
Children's Use.
I, MATTHEW WILSON of 166 Fleet Street, City of London, Gentleman, 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 to so construct or form a child's feeding apron
that the lower part can be set upon the table and serve as a tray on which a plate,
cup, or other like article containing food can be placed.
The tray like portion of the apron will prevent spilt food flowing on to the
table cloth and the upper part which forms a bib, prevents the child soiling his or
her clothes, the apron being removable from the child at will.
The invention will be understood by the annexed drawings, in which at Figure 1
I show the apron A formed at the two sides B, B, from say about the waist to the
bottom, and along or around the bottom C with a somewhat stiff, raised, or turned
up edge D, said stiffening being a strip of steel, wire, whalebone, cane, woven
horse-hair, buckram cord, India, rubber, or the like. The fabric A is water proof
sheeting and is cut or shaped with a bib E and shoulder straps F and waist band G
to enable the apron to be fastened on a child such as is shown at Figure 2.
Figure 3 shows a modification of the bib in which the waist straps G are
dispensed with, the bib being buttoned round the neck and provided with a safety
pin H for fastening it to the table cloth.
By this invention, an ordinary table cloth can be kept clean and any food such
as milk sop, light pudding, or liquid spilt will be retained in the apron. The tray
only may be of waterproof material and the other of ordinary fabric.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare that what

page_text: I, ROBERT MAYNARD the Younger of Whittlesford Works near Cambridge
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The primary object of this invention is to impart additional safety to steam
power chaff cutters.
This I effect by fitting a steam chaff cutter with an improved safety feed board
which is conveniently jointed at one end so as to allow it to rise and fall with the
travel of the straw or other feed passing thereunder.
Such safety board is so fitted as to work in conjunction with an ordinary endless
feed web so that the pressure of the safety board upon such web imparts travel to
the feed and so pushes it forward to the feed rollers.
My invention combines the essential advantages of great simplicity with great
practical utility.

I ROBERT MAYNARD of Whittlesford Works near Cambridge 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:-
The primary object of this invention is to impart additional safety to steam
power chaff cutters-The letters of reference occurring in the following description
refer to corresponding letters in the accompanying drawings.
To effect such object I fit a steam chaff cutter with a safety feed board D which
is jointed to the machine in any convenient manner at the point E so as to allow
such feed board to rise and fall with the travel of the straw or other feed passing
thereunder.
Such safety feed board is so fitted as to work in conjunction with an ordinary
endless feed web C. This endless feed web consists of an endless chain fitted with
cross slats forming a movable bottom to the feed box F-Such endless feed web
works over a drum B and sweeps along the dead bottom of the feed box F-The
rising and falling motion of the safety feed board allows it to adapt itself to the
thickness of the material to be cut so that it presses such material as it passes
along the feed box between the feed board and the endless feed web and pushes it
forward to the feed rollers A A-H is a steel face against which the knives cut-
I is a knife and K the knife wheel carrying the knife or knives.
My invention combines the essential advantages of great simplicity with great
practical utility.

I WALTER ALBERT SYDNEY THOMPSON of 1, Greengate Street, Broadway
Plaistow in the County of Essex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention (a cominunication to me from abroad by George R. Davis of 188, State
Street Boston Massachusetts United States of America Gentleman) 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 an indestructible fire kindler for domestic and other
fire places, and it has for its object to provide a simple efficient and inexpensive
means of readily kindling a coal fire or of obtaining heat for temporary cooking

of a quarter of an ounce of oil per inch cube and is retained for any length of time
without liability of evaporation.
The indestructible brick or block is composed of—

page_text: stove or fireplace and fuel placed upon it, if a coal fire is required but the improved
kindler may be used alone if a fire for temporary use only is wanted.
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;-
A fire kindler consisting of a porous and highly absorbent brick or block
composed substantially of the ingredients herein specified moulded and burnt,

page_text: I, THOMAS CHARLES SARGEANT of Cotton End, Northampton, 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:
In my specification No. 14900 of 1885 a detachable plough coulter blade, and
stem were described and my present invention consists in certain improvements in
the construction of such blades and stems as also to the means by which they
may be removably but securely attached to each other.
To clearly explain my invention reference is made to the accompanying drawings
which form part of this specification and in which like letters of reference refer to
like parts of the apparatus in all the figures."
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the blade and stem when attached to each other.
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of one of the reversible cutting blades.
Fig. 3 is a front sectional elevation through the binding ring or collar and
through part of the stem and blade on an enlarged scale.
It will be understood that the stem and blade are separate pieces so that when
the blade is worn out a new blade can be readily inserted in the stem. The said
stem may advantageously be made of wrought iron, while the blade is preferably
of steel hardened near its edges as indicated by the cross sectioning in Fig. 2.
The blade therein shown has double cutting edges so that when one side is worn
dull the coulter may be reversed and a fresh cutting edge presented and while this
is becoming dull the back edge is more or less sharpened by the friction between it
and the soil the result being that the blade is kept sharp until completely worn out.
The stem B is provided with recesses b, b, into which fit nibs or projections a, a,
on the blade piece C, or the arrangement may be reversed.
The stem aud-blade are held together by means of a taper ring or collar A which
can be readily moved from the joint when it is desired to put in a fresh blade.

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 improved means for fastening or securing coulter blades and stems which
consist in forming the blade or stem with nibs or projections, the other piece being
formed with corresponding recesses and the two pieces being held in position by
means of a ring or collar, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Apparatus for Exhausting, Lifting, Forcing, or
Measuring Fluids.
I HOUSTON STEWART STEWART Palace Chambers 9 Bridge Street Westminster
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 :—
As an improvement in the construction of apparatus for exhausting lifting forcing
or measuring fluids for which letters Patent were granted to me numbered 5616 and
dated 25 Novr. 1882, I now propose to enclose within a suitable chamber the crank
arms & sliding movement described in my above mentioned specification; and I
further propose that this chamber shall contain a sufficient quantity of oil or other
lubricant to ensure the thorough lubrication of all the external working parts of the
machine.
On the accompanying drawing I have shewn a section & elevation of an oil
chamber such as I have described. One oil chamber may contain the sliding
inovenient & crank arms of one or two or more machines coupled together side by
side.
In conjunction with oil chambers, I prefer to substitute, for the crosshead described
in my former patent No. 5616 of 25 November 1882, a drum or disc, formed with the
necessary channel for the action of the slide blocks.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
& in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The application of an oil chamber to enclose & lubricate the external working parts
of apparatus for Exhausting lifting forcing or measuring fluids, substantially as

page_text: JOHN COVELL 120 Queens Road Hastings Sussex Baker & Grocer do, hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
An Invention to be called an appliance for tethering horses in Stables for the
better safety of Horses when tied to the lead by the Head Stall and when in their
Stalls.
'
The Patent Safety roller is, made of wood and metal and made to revolve on
pivots or pinions in metal brackets which are to be fixed by screws or bolts to the
bottom edge of manger so that when 'the Horse should wish to move from one
side to the other of the Stall he will have perfect liberty or when the Horso
should require to lay down there is plenty of lead for him to do so or for him to
rise without getting the Ball or lead under his feet, as is the case with the present
arrangement with ring.
'

page_text: For this purpose I provide a roller which can be advantageously made of wood
cased with metal (or it can be made of wood alone) and having a spindle or pivots
arranged to revolve in brackets suitably fixed such as by means of screws or bolts
to the manger; over the said roller passes the lead having the usual ball or weight
attached thereto.
In some cases I employ a fixed rod in place of a roller.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to
describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1,
represents a longitudinal view of an appliancé constructed according to my
invention for tethering horses in stables; figure 2, is an end view of the same;
figures 3 and 4 are a part longitudinal section and a transverse section respectively
of the roller. Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
a, a¹, is the roller which is shewn, made of wood a, cased with metal a¹, as
represented in figures 3 and 4; b, is the spindle of the roller and c, c, are the
brackets in which the projecting ends of the spindle b, revolve; d, d, are screws
(shewn in dotted lines) for fixing the brackets c, to a suitable part of the manger A
as shewn in figure 1; e, e, are washers between the ends of the roller a, and the
brackets c:
By this construction it will be obvious that the lead with the usual ball or
weight attached thereto being passed over the roller a, and between the same and
the manger A and attached to the head stall of the horse, it will slide along and
over the roller a, and follow. the movements of the horses head; the lead can
therefore be made of much shorter length than when arranged to work in a ring
as hitherto at the same time allowing of the horse lying down and rising without
risk of the ball or weight getting under its feet as has hitherto frequently been
the case.
When a fixed rod is employed the action will be substantially the same.
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 for tethering horses in stables of a roller or fixed rod substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.

This invention consists in a simple method of fixing railway chairs to metal
sleepers without the use of bolts and nuts and in the construction of chairs for this
purpose.
With reference to the accompanying drawing, figure 1 shews vertical section of
improved construction of chair connected to sleeper according to my said invention.
Fig. 2. is plan of same. Fig. 3 shews end elevation partly in section. Fig. 4 section
of sleeper. Fig. 5 plan of same. Figs. 6 and 7 modifications hereinafter referred to.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures. A shows the rail,
E chair, D, metal sleeper.
The chair B is cast with piece a¹ to pass through a slot a in the sleeper in
order to fix the chair to the sleeper the piece a¹ is passed through the slot a and
then turned in the position shewn at figs. 1, 2 and 3. By this means the chair will
be securely connected to the sleeper. Figs. 6 and 7 shew a modification of the
above. Fig. 6 shews elevation of chair and fig. 7 plan of part of sleeper shewing
key hole slot for L piece a¹ instead of 1 piece as before described. In order to
tighten the chair on to sleeper I put a washer between the two.
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
Constructing railway chairs with 1 or L pieces in order to connect such chairs
to their metal sleepers by means of slots formed in the sleepers substantially as
set forth.

page_text: I EDWARD BERMAN of 17 Silver Street in the City of London, Button 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 simplify the construction of ornamental
vegetable ivory buttons, as manufactured under a Patent granted to me, and
bearing date the 16th day of June 1884, N° 9016.
To this end, instead of constructing the back and front of the button of two
interlocking parts of vegetable ivory; the front part variously pierced, as described
in my specification N° 901684, and inserting between them a disc of lustrous
material visible through the pierced face, I now form the button in one piece
(which I call the shank), and in such manner that it will receive and firmly hold
the lustrous disc, which will constitute essentially the face of the button.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a front view of the button complete, and Fig. 2 is a cross section of the
same. The button consists of a disc of vegetable ivory turned out to the section
represented at a, Fig. 2. The hollow of the turned out disc, which constitutes the
shank of the button, is undercut to form a lip for the retention of the disc b, when
inserted therein. This disc b is simply placed in the recess of the shank a while
it is in a softened and expanded state, and when laid aside to dry, the shank will
uniformly contract upon the disc b, and hold it firmly in place.
Care must be taken that the diameter of the recess is accurately adjusted to the
disc to be inserted therein, for if the recess is cut too large, the disc will not be
firmly grasped by the undercut lip, and will be liable to fall out. If, however, the
diameter of the recess is made too small, the rim is liable to split in shrinking onto
the inserted disc.
This disc may be made of metal, or of glass, or mother of pearl, or other rigid
ornamental material impervious to wet, and it may receive any desired tint, or carry
any desired device. The rim of the button will not only serve to hold the disc
firmly in place, but effectually protect it from injury by forming a guard to the
face of the disc, as in all cases its level must be above that of the level of the disc.
I may remark that a similar effect to that contemplated by my invention
has been produced by glueing or cementing pieces of glass or mother of pearl into

page_text: cavities turned in the button, without undercut edges, but these pieces were liable to
drop out in wearing, to the detriment of the article. I do not, therefore, claim the
insertion, into an ivory button, of an ornamental front piece, irrespective of the
manner of securing the same in place.
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
Manufacturing ornamental vegetable ivory buttons, as described, in which the
lustrous or ornamental face is bordered, secured, and protected by the shrinking
on to it of the shank.

We JOSEPH MELLOR BAINES, General Merchant of 10 Trafalgar St. Bradford
in the county of York, and SAMUEL WASHINGTON, Chemical manufacturer of
19 Radnor Street, Hulme, Manchester in the county of Lancaster, do hereby
declare the nature of our invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The essential features of this invention lie in packing the tobacco in small
cylindrical tubes or cartridges formed of metal or cardboard or paper.
The object of the invention is to prevent waste in charging tobacco pipes with
tobacco and to prepare the tobacco in a form more convenient for use.
According to this invention the tobacco is pressed by any suitable means into
small cylindrical tubes or cartridges of such size that each tube shall contain a
convenient charge for a tobacco pipe. The said tubes may be made of metal or
cardboard or of paper and may be slightly tapered in form or may be of equal
diameter throughout.
In use the cartridge containing the tobacco may be placed in the bowl of the
pipe or the cartridge may be placed over the bowl of the pipe and the tobacco
pressed out of the cartridge and down into the pipe bowl.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of our said
invention and the manner in which the same may be carried into effect we wish
it to be understood that what we claim is:-
Packing shag or smoking tobacco in small cylindrical tubes or cartridges substan-
tially as and for the purposes described.

I CHARLES DROBIG of 378 City Road, in the county of Middlesex, Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:―
This invention relates to the construction of an improved frame for combined bags
and muffs and known generally as muff-bags or bag-muffs.
Hitherto the frames used for such purposes have generally been the ordinary bag
frame but such frames are too thick and clumsy to give a neat appearance and render
the muff heavy.
According to my invention I make the frame of plain flat metal instead of the usual
hollow frame having an inside frame.
My improved frames are perforated with a suitable number of holes whereby the
frame can be attached to the bag or muff by rivets, plates or washers preventing the
rivets tearing through the material. Any suitable fastening is employed.
By the use of my improved frame a much neater appearance is given to the bag-
muff or muff-bag as the frame is hidden or nearly hidden from view and it is lighter
and cheaper than the ordinary frame.

By the use of my improved frame a much neater appearance is given to the bag-
muff or muff-bag as the frame is hidden or nearly hidden from view and it is lighter
and cheaper than the ordinary frame.
It will be obvious that my improved frames may be provided with purse frames.
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 manufacture of frames for combined muffs and bags from flat metal and having
holes for fixing substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.

5 Backward Twist Cores

page_text: I FREDERICK JULLIEN ROBERTS of 28 Pinder Street Hulme Manchester in the
County of Lancaster 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 :-
The object of this invention is to give greater strength to fishing lines and to
render "crippling" and "kingking" of the line impossible whereby longer casts can
bo mado with greater ease, with perfect safety and without fear of damage to the line.
The invention consists principally in making the core of two, four or more strands
according to the strength required, half of which strands are twisted to the right hand
and the other half are twisted to the left hand.
22
These strands are not twisted together but are laid side by side and one half having
a forward, and the other half a backward twist all tendency to curl or "kink
entirely avoided.
18
The core thus made is then covered by a single or double braided or plaited cover
in a braiding or plaiting machine, and the fishing line is then complete and ready
for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performel I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved manufacture of fishing lines by the combination of a corc (half the
strands of which are twisted to the right, and the other half twisted to the left) 2

We, EDWARD HADLEY of Shaw Road, Heaton Chapel, in the County of Lancaster,
Builder and CHARLES DARRAH of the firm of Baxendale & Co. of Miller Street,
Manchester, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is the construction of a bath boiler say of cast iron,
wrought iron, copper or other suitable material in which the vertical back flue is
formed in the boiler itself instead of being formed in brickwork behind the boiler as
heretofore.
In this manner we are enabled to employ a bath boiler with a vertical flue in a
narrower fire place than heretofore, or to extend the boiler further backwards in the
opening than hitherto.
In carrying out our invention we form the three sides say of the rectangular back flue
(although we do not confine ourselves to this configuration) in the form of a vertical
channel out of the back of the boiler itself and so that when placed up against the
brickwork at the back of the fire-place the said brickwork forms the fourth side of the
rectangular flue.
In some cases the said vertical flue is used in conjunction with a horizontal flue, but
it is equally applicable to solid boilers.
