No. 4920. We do not confine ourselves to the application of our invention to mills for grinding grain, as there are many materials, earth, drugs, etc., which, in being ground, it will be found advantageous to use our application; and in many cases it will be of great advantage to heat the air (by any convenient means) before it passes through the mill, the latter case being particularly recommended in grinding Indian corn intended for long voyages. be We wish it to be understood that we do not confine ourselves to the particular arrangement laid down in the drawing, nor to the position or form of the invention as there represented. But we claim as our invention the causing of a current of air to pass tween the mill stones, from the eye towards and out at the periphery, substantially for, and in the manner described; the said current being produced by a blower, or any other convenient mode, either by drawing the same from the mill or forcing it through, as fully described above.

REMINGTON. Having given the above directions for drafting and cutting the back and body of a coat, enough has been done to illustrate the utility of my invention, as well as the manner of using it. To tailors it furnishes not only a most convenient arrangement for applying the scye and shoulder measures in drafting, but an arrangement which secures them the most correct possible application of those measures; and guards them against the numberless uncertainties and inaccuracies which attend the usual mode, and which requires the greatest skill to avoid. To the method of taking measures herein mentioned, or to the measures themselves, I prefer no claim. They are introduced merely to illustrate the utility and mode of using my invention. But what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, is the spring steel ring, herein described, and called the circular measure," and the "shoulder regulator" thereunto attached, which are manufactured and used in the manner herein set forth.

And we also claim the second jointed pan, for preventing the escape of odors when the first pan is opened, when this is combined with the first pan, substantially as described. JAMES INGRAM. No. 4927. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent of the United States, in the above described "fountain pen," is the filling tube of a graduated capacity for filling the pen, combined with the fountain pen, as above set forth and specified, or arranged in any manner which is substantially the same. WALTER HUNT. No. 4928. It is not intended by this specification to limit the invention to any particular mode of fastening, or to any particular kind of metal, although the inventor preferred, and the said Lorenzo, his executor, prefers using screw bolts with counter-sunk heads, as the means of fastening, and cast iron as the metal best adapted to the forming and fitting of the parts, as well as to their durability. What is claimed as the invention of said David Prouty, and is sought to be secured by letters patent, is the adjustable and shift ing wing or wings, in combination with the mould board, as described, by means of which the same plough can be adjusted to the cutting of furrows of different widths, as set forth above. LORENZO PROUTY, Executor. No. 4929. Having thus fully described our improvements, what we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, is the employment of a series of cutters, the first of which has a blunt edge for indenting the surface instead of cutting it, the successive cutters being made progressively thinner and cutting deeper to the centre, all substantially as described. No. 4930. JOHN R. REMINGTON. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters. patent, is the mode in which I have constructed and arranged the fiiling passage and the rose, as herein set forth and described, both being at or near the top of the fountain when erect; (it being understood that I do not intend to confine my claim to the case, where the partitions, enclosing the empty cavities, marked p and q, are introduced; these latter not being absolutely necessary to, although greatly improving the action of the apparatus;) and, in combination with the above, I claim placing the gudgeons, upon which the fountain turns, above the centre of the cylindrical water receptacle, and adding a counter weight, i, to the bottom of the latter, so as to cause the apparatus to right itself after inversion. I also claim the peculiar manner in which I have arranged the escape passages, d' and e, e, so as the more readily to cut off the water when the fountain commences to rise from its inverted position, and thereby prevent its spouting to the front. And I further claim the mode of producing the douche, by means of the cover, K, K, applied over the rose-the whole being constructed and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth and described.

C. HAMMOND. No. 4935. Having thus fully described the nature of my improvement in the lamp for burning volatile ingredients, what I claim therein as new and desire to secure by letters patent, is the so arranging of the tubes B and B, and of the apertures through them, as that the outer tube shall, by turning on the inner, be made to vary the number of jets, or to extinguishing the whole, at pleasure, substantially in the manner herein fully made known; and this I claim whether the proportions for the jets be made to coincide precisely in the manner set forth, or in any other that is substantially the same, producing the same effect by equivalent means. No. 4936. ISAIAH JENNINGS. I do not claim the us of a notched bar for regulating the movement of the stiles, to determine the distance apart of mortises to the cut therein; nor do I claim cutting on opposite sides of a piece of timber simultaneously by the movement of a single lever. But what I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, is the before described mode of mortising the stiles for window blinds, by securing two stiles to a notched gauge bar and bringing the teeth of said guage bar in contact with a spring dog fixed to the frame between the two oblique, cutters attached by slides to a lever, which cutters are made to cut two |
