Improvements in Tombstones, Memorial Tablets, and the like.
LEOPOLD FRIDERICH, Manufacturer, of Sassbach, in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
German Empire, 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 make tombstones, memorial tablets or the like,
of such materials and in such manner that they will be capable of resisting all effects
of the weather, and, at the same time, be ornamental and possess great durability.
In making a tombstone or memorial tablet in accordance with my invention I may
first cast it in iron, brass, or other metal, and I then thoroughly enamel it so as to
preserve it from the action of the weather. 'Instead of casting the tombstone or
tablet, I may make it of a sheet of iron, lead, or other metal, and then enamal
it. The usual lettering, or coloured figures or pictures, may be burned in with the
enamel if desired. The colour of the metals is arranged according to the colour tone
in which the tombstone, memorial tablet, or the like, is to appear, and the production
from malleable iron or steel, or from lead or other metal sheets, depends on the nature
of the ornamentation which the finished product is meant to display.
⚫Tombstones or memorial tablets when made in this manner are not subject to
any of the destructive influences of time and weather; they form ornaments, self
preservative and unchanging in colour, and the lettering or painted picture is
indelible as it is burned in with the enamel. The cost of tombstones, memorial tablets
or the like, when made in this manner is very small.

page_text: 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,
1. Tombstones, memorial tablets, or the like, made of cast or sheet metal and
enamelled for the purpose of preserving the metal from the action of the weather.
2. In an enamelled cast or sheet metal tombstone, memorial tablet or the like, 5
the burning in with the enamel, of lettering, figures, or pictures.

I HARRY SIDNEY GRANT, of Towan House, Porth Towan, near Redruth, Cornwall,
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 :-
To enable my invention to be properly understood I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1. partial view of stay busk with my invention applied.
Figure 2. cross sectional view taken through line X. X.
Fig. 3. similar view taken through line Y. Y.
A is one of the busk springs A partial side view of other. B, the usual catch
fastening rivetted on to A, having the sides turned up and over to form a slide, for
the reception of a sliding piece D, having a turned up lip B', to draw it out by or
push it in. This sliding piece is formed with a slot E running into a hole F at one
end and into a larger hole G at the other end; this latter hole correspondents with
the hole in B. H is the usual stud fastener rivetted in A¹. The mode and use of this
invention are as follows.
With corset fasteners as now made according to the catch B, and stud H, move-
ments of the body of the wearer frequently cause them to become undone. By this
invention such is rendered impossible by being fastened as follows: The slide D is
first drawn out or placed in the position shown by the middle view of the fastener at
figure 1, so as to bring the hole G flush with the hole in B, the stud H is then passed
through B, and D, and the latter pushed back into the position shown at the lower
view, thereby locking the stud H, in the part B. To prevent the usual rattle from
the fastening an india rubber washer J is used on the stud H.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The improved manner of locking the fastening stud of corset busks, by means of a
sliding plate, substantially as described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.

page_text: The next action is the rolling or wrapping of the tobacco by means of the wrapping
cloth F, which goes over the roller d, which by treading on the treadle is moved
forward together with the carriage. Through this forward movement, the cloth lying
in the hollow b and containing the tobacco charge, is drawn out, the contents are given
a rolling motion by the overlapping and forward moving cloth, and at the same time
the overleaf begins to lap over the charge. Now the brush enters into action, raises up
the overleaf and presses it gently against the roller. By a further forward move-
ment of the carriage the overleaf becomes entirely rolled round the charge, and the
whole is at the same time tightly wrapped, and finally the finished roll falls from the
end of the table to be deposited by the springs n n.
By repeated motion of the treadle with the foot, the carriage, roller, brush
and wrapping-cloth are again brought back to their starting point, and the work
begins anew.
The brush is of great advantage, as it not only keeps the overleaf free from
dirt, but it acts principally in keeping, by means of the bristles, the leaf open,
whereby even leaves of brittle tobacco are not torn; and a wrapping with the smallest
leaf can be effected.
At the back of the roller there is attached a sieve B with a drawer underneath.
The regulating screws ff, which are placed in the curve-shaped slots of the arms J,
serve to regulate the proximity of the brush to the roller.
If, hard and dry leaves are to be worked up, the brush is allowed to press sharply
against the roller, so that the overleaf during the wrapping may be held taut; whereas
when damp leaves are used the brush should not press closely against the roller, so
that the overleaf is simply held by the brush.
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 cigar rolling or wrapping machine constructed and adapted to operate sub-
stantially in the manner set forth.
2. In a cigar rolling or wrapping machine, a table plate a (G) having a hollow or
recess, such as b, and a loosely fixed rolling cloth, such as P, which is drawn by a
roller or its equivalent, and which at same time rolls up the tobacco laid therein
working it up to a roll; substantially as described.
8. In a cigar wrapping machine, the arrangement of the carriage D'running on
wheels r. r, on guides E E, and having at its front the carriers J J, and worked by
the treadle C, by means of the lever c, the fork S and the pin t, whilst the loop H,
rod k, and the stop i. i regulate the course of the carriage.
4. In a cigar wrapping machine the arrangement of a brush a adapted to work in
slotts in arms J, which can be regulated and held by the set screws f and the
pins 9, and is pressed by means of elastic bands o. o against the roller d.
5. The apparatus for rolling cigars as described and represented in the Drawings.

Improvements in Ladies' and like Fans.
We, NATHANIEL WICKLIFFE, Planter, of 102 Canal Street, and JOE BRYAN CHAFFE,
Merchant, Corner Union and Baronne Streets, of New Orleans, in the parish of
Orleans and State of Louisiana, United States of America, 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 improvement in an Atomizer for a Fan, in which a
small tube placed within the blades of a fan is made to operate in conjunction with a
bulb attached to the handle of a fan, the object of this invention is to attach an
atomizer for perfumery to a fan, whereby a spray of Cologne may be thrown by
the person using the fan.
We attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings,
in which-
Figure 1 is a perspective side view showing fan closed & atomizer attached.
Figure 2 is a side view showing fan opened.
Figure 3 is a side view of one blade of fan.
Figure 4 is a reverse view of Fig. 3.
Similar letters referring to similar parts throughout the several views.
In constructing our invention we take a fan as shown by A-in Figure 2, &
within the blades we insert a small tube as shown by C-this tube is of such
dimensions as not to materially change the form of fan blades; at the end of this
tube we attach a metal, or rubber bulb as shown by D, with an opening in same for
the admission of Cologne, or other perfumery, this bulb is so constructed that it may
be readily adjusted to end of tube by simply screwing it on to the end of the tube, &
in such a manner that no perfumery will pass out through perforated metal; or felt
attachments Funless pressure is placed upon bulb D, & the fan may be readily
worn or carried in the usual manner by means of attachments E-We however do
not confine ourselves to the particular, construction of fan shown in Fig 2 as fans
which do not fold may be used.
In operation the perfumery is placed within bulb D-the fan opened, or closed, &
a pressure given upon bulb, when a fine spray of perfumery is thrown from the
bulb or where preferable the atomizer may be used when fan is opened as shown
in Fig. 2, enabling a spray of perfumery to be thrown as the fan is being used.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
In an Atomizer for a Fan such as described, the combination of a tube placed
within the blades of a fan as shown by C,-the bulb D-attached to said tube,
the metal, or felt attachments F-placed within the blades of a fan for spraying
perfumery, substantially as shown and set forth.

Improvement Consisting in Converting a Gun Barrel of Large Calibre into a Gun Barrel of a Smaller Calibre.
Year: 1889

page_text: Improvement Consisting in Converting a Gun Barrel of Large
Calibre into a Gun Barrel of a Smaller Calibre.
1, AUGUSTE SCHRIEVER, fire arms manufacturer of 21 Rue Nysten, Liège, Belgium
do hereby declare the nature of my 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 convert a gun barrel of large calibre into a gun
barrel of smaller calibre, whilst preserving or maintaining the old gun barrels as
jackets for the gun barrels of smaller calibre. In performing such an operation, the
remaining portions of the gun or small arm viz.: the old mountings, the back-sight
and the stock can be preserved totally or partially, the gun thereby undergoing no
increase or at least no noticeable increase in weight.
For this purpose, a fresh gun barrel N of smaller size is screwed into the breech of
the gun. The breech end or portion of the old barrel is cut off and is then so bored
again that it only forms a tube, which still carries the back-sight, front-sight, etc.
The said tube or jacket A is screwed or otherwise secured at g onto the inner
barrel N.
By this construction, not only the costs of so converting a gun are decreased, but
also the strength of the barrel at the breech end is in no way lessened, an advantage
which cannot be obtained by means of the tubes placed within the old barrels and
throughout the length of the latter.
Moreover, owing to the free space left between the two barrels, the weight remains
about the same; and in the hereinbefore described construction are combined all the

a tube of sufficient strength to resist against deformation, and then by placing a fresh
barrel of smaller calibre within the old barrel, bored as above stated, so as to leave a
free space between the two barrels.
2. The fitting of the inner barrel within the old barrel acting as a jacket, by
cutting off the breech end of the old barrel and by screwing or otherwise securing
onto the inner barrel, so that the size of the latter at the breech end may be the same
as the outer dimension of the old barrel, whereby the back-sight, the mountings and
the stock of the old barrel may be utilised wholly or partly.

Improvements in or Appertaining to Cigars.
I, JOSEPH VOWLES of 63 Conway Street, Birkenhead, in the County of Chester,
Tobacconist, 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 a method of conditioning or ripening cigars in
very much shorter time than they have hitherto been done, and an arrangement
at the same time by which cigars can be made more convenient to smokers.
The invention consists in cutting the end of the cigars preferably with a V cut
while green, that is immediately after or during manufacture and packing them in
boxes in this way. The result is that while an ordinary cigar takes many months
to get into good condition for smoking, cigars made in this way will apparently
get into as good or better condition in little more than as many days. The reason
is this. The cigar as at present made is absolutely impervious at one end, con-
sequently there is no through ventilation and the volatile ingredients which are
deleterious to the cigar are unable to escape. Where however the cigar is open at
both ends these volatile obnoxious ingredients very quickly evaporate or are oxidized
leaving the cigar in good condition. Furthermore without a special appliance it is
almost impossible to satisfactory V-cut an old cigar as it is so brittle that it is
liable to break away. If however the cigar while it is being manufactured and still
green is cut it cuts with a perfectly clear cut.
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 method of quickly conditioning or ripening cigars which consists in cutting
them during manufacture or immediately after in the manner described and
retaining them in this condition till sufficiently conditioned or ripe.
2. As a new article of manufacture and of commerce a box or package of cigars
in which the ends of the cigars are V cut during manufacture or immediately after
and prior to sale substantially as described.

Improvements in the Production of Quinazoline Derivatives.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the preparation of the chemical products which
are formed when the formyl-derivatives of orthonitrobenzylaniline, or of its homologues
are treated with reducing agents.
The process by which I prepare the said chemical products is illustrated by the
following example.
10 parts of orthonitrobenzylaniline prepared for example in the manner previously
described by Sellmann and Stichel (Beil. Ber. XIX, 1604) are heated for about two
hours at the reflux cooler with 20 parts of concentrated formic acid and the
orthonitrobenzylformanilid thús obtained is then précipitated by means of water.
It crystallizes in yellowish needles melting at 77° Centigrade.
The same body may be obtained by heating a benzolic solution of 10 parts of
orthonitrobenzylchloride with 8 parts of sodiumformanilid.
To reduce the orthonitrobenzylformanilid all the well known reducing agents may
be employed the reaction taking place according to the following formula.

Improvements in Flower-holders to be Placed on the Facing
of the Coat.
I, LARS WILHELM MOLIN of 27 Flemminggatan Stockholm Swegden Medical
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 :-
This invention relates to a little apparatus for holding flowers to be placed on the
facing of the coat or other convenient place on the dress.
The apparatus or flower-holder is shown on the drawing in two forms or modifi-
cations, the one in Figures 1 and 2 from the side and in Figure 3 the same from
the top, while the other is shewn in Figure 4 side view and end view.
In the first modification, which is most suitable when the flower-holder is to be
fastened in a buttonhole, the holder consists of a thin plate bent in an angle so as to
form a bellcrank lever a with arms of different lengths. This bellcrank lever is
pivottally attached between two lugs b projecting from a plate c of round or other
desired manner.
On the plate c
shape the frontside of which may be decorated in any
is also attached an eye or staple d and the lever a is kept in the position shown in
figure 2 by a couple of flat springs e the ends of which pass two corresponding
notches g on the lever (see figure 3) when this latter is turned from the position shown
in Figure 1 to that in figure 2. On the end of the shorter part of the lever a, which
part in the latter position is turned towards the plate c, are provided notches which
may be of different depths and in which the flower stalks may be placed. The stalks
of the flowers are pushed down through the eye or staple d when the lever a has been
opened as in Figure 1, whereupon the longer projecting arm of the lever is inserted
in the buttonhole. By turning the lever the flowers are held properly between the
plate and the end of the shorter arm of the lever and the flowerholder is also thereby
fastened in the buttonhole figure 2. It is evident that the eye d is not absolutely
necessary.
The modification figure 4 consists therein that one arm of the bell crank lever forms
a'pin arranged as on a brooch while the other arms are in the form of a transverse
piece holding the flowers against the plate c and suited to be placed under hook-
shaped projection from the staple d. The flowerholder may thus arranged be fastened
anywhere on the facing of the coat.
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 :-
First. A flower-holder for fastening flowers in a buttonhole or on the facing of the
coat consisting of a bell-crank lever pivottally attached to a plate between one arm of
which lever and the plate the flowers are held substantially as described.
Second. The construction of flowerholder substantially as shewn on the drawings.

length and by twisting or linking form the same into a loop or knot of any fanciful
design, the free ends of the coil are then pressed together side by side so as to engage
or interlink thus forming a tubular space by which the ornament is fixed on to the
pin desired to be decorated, either by pressure cementing or other convenient means.
Both the wire and the coils may be of any suitable section.
I claim (Firstly) the use of a coil or coils of wire for forming ornamental tops for
toilet pins as aforesaid, and, (Secondly) I claim the linking of the ends of the said
coils, as described to form a ready means of attachment to the said pins.
