Improvements in Vulcanite Mouthpieces for Tobacco Pipes.
I, JEAN GEORGE BLATTER, Junior, of 110, High Street, Homerton, in the County
of London, Factory 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 :-
Hitherto when vulcanite has been used in the manufacture of mouthpieces for
tobacco pipes and the screw (or, in the case of "push" joints, the tubular projection)
to connect the mouthpiece to the stem of the pipe has been fashioned out of the
same piece of material as that of which the mouthpiece itself was made, the screw
or tubular projection, as the case might be, has (except where the size of the pipe
allowed of the use of great thickness of material) been apt to snap when in use.
My invention is intended to obviate this defect. I take a piece of vulcanite, and,
having generally fashioned one end as a mouthpiece and bored the smoke passage,
I cut a screw inside the end that will be nearest the stem. This screw should extend
for about three quarters of an inch from the end of the vulcanite for an average sized
pipe and should be of such guage as to take the thread of a screw fashioned on a
tube of bone or other suitable material, which I screw home into it. Having thus
strengthened the vulcanite by backing or lining it with the tube of bone or other
suitable material I turn a screw (to fit the thread in the stem of the pipe) on it;
taking care, however, not to turn the said screw (or the tubular projection where the
"push" form of joint is preferred) for a distance greater than two thirds of the
length that the lining tube extends into the vulcanite. For instance, if the lining
tube extends for three quarters of an inch into the vulcanite, the screw or tubular
projection should not extend over more than half an inch from the end that is
intended to pass into the stem. A vulcanite joint constructed according to my
invention is much less apt to snap or crack, when fairly used, than one constructed
in the manner hitherto in vogue.
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 mode of constructing a serew or push joint on a vulcanite mouthpiece for a
tobacco pipe substantially as above described.

London, S.W., 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:-
This invention relates to an improved puzzle, applicable for advertising purposes.
The object of this ingenious and interesting puzzle to be attained by the arrange-
ment of numbered discs or their equivalent upon a spaced board, is the formation
of four triangles, the sum of the numbers of the discs or the like, composing each
and every side of which triangles must correspond.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet
of illustrative drawings, wherein is shewn a board of the form I employ, with the
spaces for the discs or their equivalent indicated thereon.
"
Referring to the drawing, a is a board substantially in the form of a "Victoria"
or "Maltese cross, having upon its surface twenty-one of the small circles b,
arranged in the manner shewn, so as to form four triangles having a common
apex in the centre of the cross.
In conjunction with the board shewn, I employ twenty-one discs or their equiva-
lent, each marked, impressed or having otherwise displayed upon its surface a
numeral or numerals, ranging from naught to twenty-one, and the puzzle consists
in so arranging such discs or the like upon the spaces b on the board a, as to
form four triangles having a common apex, and the numbers of each and every
side of said triangles shall in the sum total, correspond. In lieu of the circular
spaces b, squares or other suitable spaces may be marked out upon the board a.
Suitable advertising matter may be displayed upon the face, back or sides of the
board a, and upon the discs or their equivalent, and if desirable, upon the box
containing the puzzle.
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:

Improvements in or connected with Metal Shearing Machines.
I, BRUNO WESSELMANN, of 58, Friedländer Weg, Göttingen, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 and accompanying drawings:-
My said invention relates to metal shearing machines and particularly to the
foundations or stands of such machines.
In constructing a metal shearing machine in accordance with my invention I form
the stand or foundation thereof from metal rolled to such a section that when the
metal is cut into the required lengths the cut lengths simply require portions of the
metal cutting away to form the entire foundation.
In the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a metal shearing machine constructed in accord-
ance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a separate side view of the stand thereof.
Figs. 3 and 4 indicate in sectional forms the rolled metal from which the stands
are made.
The metal from which the improved stands or foundations are to be made is rolled
in the sectional form shown in Fig. 3 or in Fig. 4. A suitable length, which would
vary according to the size of the shears, is cut from the piece. To accommodate the
fast blade m¹ of the shears superfluous portions of metal at one side of the upper
part ab need only be cut out and the stand is complete as is shown in
Fig. 2.
The base & which serves to support the stand may be formed on each side of the
portion e, as in Fig. 3, or on one side only as shown in Fig. 4.
The cutting blades m and m¹ are so arranged relatively to each other that the
lever to which the blade m is secured lies in an angular recess formed by the bent
back portion a of the stand, the fast blade m¹ being secured to the part b of the
stand. By this arrangement the cut parts ff of the work F can both be led below
the pivot bolt o to the rear of the shears, without occasioning any excessive bending
of the plate being cut. The passage of the work through the shears is thus greatly
facilitated as little friction and springing of the cut parts of the work is set
up.
In addition to these advantages the stand is stronger by being formed out of
one piece of metal, is lighter, and the method of construction is both simple
and cheap.
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

and the clearer rollers may easily be removed or adjusted when required.
The drawings herewith shew my invention.
Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of my improved bracket.
Fig. 2, is a side view of Fig. 1.
The bracket is made from one piece of metal one side of which is formed of a
solid piece, a, the other side of two pieces a¹, a² the lower piece or shank a³ is
suitably bent so as to form a foot at having a slot as through which may pass a
stud the bracket may thus be fastened at a suitable part of the machine in the
usual way. The clearer roller ends rest in the space b, formed between the
parts a and a or a and a², that is, ends of the pairs or consecutive sets of rollers
used in the machine in manner as is well known.
The parts a a² being arranged as shewn admit of the clearers being brought
nearer to the front of the top fluted roller of the spinning frame which fluted
roller is well known thus obtaining better clearing of waste material also ensuring
steadiness in working as the weight is distributed on shank a³.
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 bracket having the inner strips or pieces a¹ a² whereby clearer roller may
be brought in close proximity to the fluted roller of the spinning machine and
the weight of the clearer rollers may be distributed on the shank or support a³
thus ensuring steadiness during the rotation of the rollers as and for the purposes
herein fully set forth and described.

Improvements in and connected with Safety Razors.
I, ALBERT LYMAN SILBERSTEIN, of 450, Broadway, in the City of New York, United
States of America, 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 certain details of construction of certain of the various
parts which make up what is known as a safety razor.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 an end elevation,
Fig. 3 a back elevation, Fig. 4 a plan of Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 an elevation of the handle
when detached and holding the razor blade for strapping or other purposes.
In the drawings the casing or frame a carries spring clips b adapted to hold the
blade c firmly against the top of the frame while backward motion of the blade is
prevented by clip or spring piece d pivoted at e to the frame. Clip b is preferably so
pivoted or formed as to be capable of slight end play to enable it to take blades of
varying lengths. The limit of forward motion of the blade is regulated by the position
of the adjustable shoulders f against which the ends of the blade bear, the position of
the shoulders is normally in their extreme outermost position but they are capable of
adjustment by screw g adapted to push such shoulders and the blade back against the
action of spring clip d or to permit such shoulders and blade to come forward
depending upon whether it is desired to give a greater or less opening between the
cutting edge of the blade and the safety edge h formed by turning down casing a and
slotting or cutting the same so as to leave a series of openings i therein.
When in use casing a is held upon handle ; which is provided with a screw thread
engaging with a similar thread in the casing, the handle also carrying a screw driver k
or similar device by which the various set screws shoulders or clips may be adjusted.
I am of course aware that safety razors with removable blades and handles have
long been known and I make no broad claim thereto but
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 safety razors the improved arrangement of clips and shoulders for
adjusting the position of the blade substantially as set forth.
2. A safety razor provided with adjustable clips and shoulders for holding the blade
and a handle adapted for adjusting such clips and shoulders substantially as set forth.
3. A safety razor formed of a casing carrying a safety edge and adjustable clips and
shoulders and a handle adapted for adjusting such clips and shoulders substantially as

Improved Roughing Stud or Calk for Horse-shoes.
I, JOHANN TATARTZY, of III Linke Bahngasse 7, Vienna, Austria, Imperial
Royal Colonel, 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 aud
by the following statement:-
According to my invention I so construct roughing studs or calks for horse shoes
that they remain sharp even when they are worn down to about 3/16ths of an inch.
For this purpose I construct the said studs with three ribs, or triangular, as I will
describe with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is an under-
side plan view and Fig. 2 an elevation of the improved stud or calk with triangular
treading surface and three ribbed body; Fig. 3 is a plan view and Fig. 4 an eleva-
tion of a calk with triangular section.
The stud or calk consists of a threaded piece a (Fig. 1) a triangular head plate or
treading surface 6 and of the three-ribbed body c.
The body of the stud or calk for riding horses is about 9/16ths to full 5/8 in. in
height, for draught horses 7/8ths to 1 in. high.
The plan Fig. 1 shews the three ribs 1, 2, 3, diverging from the centre, at an
angle of 120° to each other. Owing to this blunt angle the studs or calks enter
deeply into the ice or any other slippery ground and afford thus greater safety
against slipping and increased contact surface with the ground, than any other
known studs or calks; they remain sharp even when worn down to 3/16ths and
owing to the blunt angle of the ribs they are not dangerous.
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 I
claim is:-
A horse shoe roughing stud or calk consisting of a triangular head plate 6 with
a body of a three ribbed or triangular section, the ribs, when employed, being at an
angle of 120° to each other, which ribs remain sharp even when almost quite worn
down, substantially as described.

Improvements in and connected with Swing Mirrors.
We, JOHN PATON and HAMILTON CURRIE, both of 283, New City Road, in the
County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain, Cabinet Makers, 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 swing mirrors has special reference to the pivotal
suspension whereon such mirrors are hung, and are capable of proper axial motion.
The pivotal connection consists of a ball and socket joint formed within a metal
hinged plate or bracket, with clamping screw.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect we have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings of which
Fig. 1 is a full size front elevation of the pivotal plate or bracket.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, and
Fig. 3 is a general view of a swing mirror to which the improvements embodying
my invention is applied.
The hinged plate or bracket which is indicated by the letter A is formed pre-
ferably of metal, brass for example. The fixed member A¹ is screwed or otherwise
fixed to the arm or pillar B, of the mirror E, at the back and the jointed or hinged
member A2, is under the control of the clamping screw C. The ball D, has a
screw extension D', which enables it to be screwed into the framework of the
mirror. The socket for the ball D is formed partly in the one member and partly
in the other of the said plate or bracket A.
When the screw D¹ is all-but screwed home into the woodwork, and the spur
wheel or collar D2 lies nearly flush with the frame of the mirror, a blow of the
hammer will force it into the position shown in Fig. 3 when the projecting pieces
of wood of star configuration which occupy the corresponding intervening spaces
of the spur wheel will prevent the screw extension II and ball D, entering into
rotation when the mirror is turned upon its pivots. By means of the clamping
screw C aforesaid varying degrees of frictional contact may be obtained, by virtue
of which the pivotal suspension is not likely to become loose and inoperative.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare what we
claim is:-
The means and appliance for swing mirrors constructed substantially as and
for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown on the accompanying sheet of
drawings.

An Improved Box or Jar for Powder.
I, WALTER OSMOND, of Merlin, Hammers Lane, Mill Hill, in the County of
Middlesex, 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:
My invention consists of a box especially adapted to contain tooth, face or other
powders of all descriptions small quantities of which are only required at a time
and to prevent the waste of such powders from exposure to the air damp or other
causes.
I make the box of wood celluloid, tin, china, glass, or any other suitable sub-
stance, and in any convenient form or shape. It is constructed in two compart-
ments one "B" Figs. 1 and 2 being much smaller than the other "C" Figs. 1
and 2 and divided by a partition A Figs. 1 and 2 which may be affixed to the lid
or to the sides of the box without reaching to the bottom thereof and leaving a
slit or hole at the bottom "E" Figs. 1 and 2 through which the powder can be
shaken into the smaller compartment.
The smaller compartment is fitted with a moveable lid "D" Fig. 1 working
on a hinge "H" so as to cover its own compartment when closed the larger com-
partment "C" Fig. 1 is also covered with a lid either removable or permanently
fixed which with the lid of the smaller compartment forms a complete covering
to the box. The bulk of the powder is kept in the larger compartment "C
Fig. 1 and when required for use a sufficient quantity can be shaken into the
smaller compartment "B" Fig. 1 from which it can be picked up by a brush
powder puff sponge or other instrument without injuring the bulk of the powder.
When made of china or glass I prefer to make the box in the form shewn in
Figs. 3 & 4 of the accompanying drawings having a moveable top or cap "C"
Figs. 3 & 4 which can be removed to put in the powder. Fig. 4 "E" shows the
slot or hole through which the powder is shaken when required for use into the
small chamber "B" Fig. 4 from which it can be readily picked up with a brush
sponge powder puff or other instrument without injuring the bulk of the powder.
"D" in Figs. 3 & 4 is a moveable top or cap covering the compartment "B" and
which can be removed so as to allow of the powder being picked up as before
described. "F" in Figs. 3 & 4 is the larger compartment into which the powder
is put as before described.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
1. A box or jar so constructed as to allow a small quantity of powder to pass
through or under the partition or hole when the box is tilted or shaken substan-
tially as described.

page_text: 2. The partition or method of dividing the box into two compartments sub-
stantially as herein before described.
3. The general arrangement construction and combination of the parts forming
an improved powder box as herein before described.

Revolving Table Centre for Use on Dining and Tea Tables.
PERRING HOLLYER, Gent., GRACE EMILY HOLLYER, Wife, MAUD BEATRICE LILY
HOLLYER, Artist, all of Little Paxton, St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, 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:-
A revolving table centre, consisting of a circular base of wood, with rubber
covered metal rollers let into the upper surface, near the outer edge, and a vertical
metal pivot in the centre, on which revolves a platform or disc of wood or other
suitable material resting on the rollers; the rollers may be let into the under
surface of the revolving platform if preferred and will answer the same purpose.
The platform has a hole through the centre to fit the pivot. The pivot protrudes
above the surface of the platform high enough to permit a small stand being screwed
on which remains stationary while the platform revolves.
The whole forms a convenient removable, revolving table centre for passing
condiments cakes and the like round the table and obviates the necessity of passing
from hand to hand.
The use of rollers on the base gives support to the revolving platform allowing
heavy-dishes on any part without tipping over.
The flat base with rollers sunk into it allows the revolving platform to be
less than 2 (two) inches above the surface of the dining table on which it
stands.
The working may be more clearly seen on the accompanying drawing :-
A being the base, B the revolving platform, C the stationary stand D the pivot
and E the rubber covered rollers.
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 :-
