Patent for a valve that attaches to a flue upon a pneumatic-seed cotton distributor. Includes illustrations.

Patent for a new and improved clinometer. This design "is to provide a simple and inexpensive device for taking measurements in prismoidal formula and to avoid the calculation of the triangle and enable the slope to be readily written from the instrument" (lines 16-21). It "compris[es] the square composed of the stationary short bar or arm and the stationary long bar or arm rigidly secured to one side of the short arm or bar and provided on its face with a spirit-level and having a scale of graduations of which the length of the short bar or arm is the unit, the curved brace connecting the said parts" (lines 60-68).

A method and system for making a monolithic intermetallic structure are presented. The structure is made from lamina blanks which comprise multiple layers of metals which are patternable, or intermetallic lamina blanks that are patternable. Lamina blanks are patterned, stacked and registered, and processed to form a monolithic intermetallic structure. The advantages of a patterned monolithic intermetallic structure include physical characteristics such as melting temperature, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Applications are broad, and include among others, use as a microreactor, heat recycling device, and apparatus for producing superheated steam. Monolithic intermetallic structures may contain one or more catalysts within the internal features.

Patent for a cotton chopper that thins out rows of growing cotton plants by destroying the superfluous plants and leaving stands at the proper intervals, including illustrations.

Patent for a bat roost that provides roosting space, as well as a space for hibernation. The bat roost will have a lower space that allows the user to clean out the droppings.

Patent for general use to securely close cans containing liquid so that invisible tampering, evaporation, and contamination cannot occur.

Patent for a well packer and setting tool for the prevention of intermingling between oil and water in a well when used by itself or with other pipes. The invention allows for the packer to be set using the setting tool which can then be removed once the packer is in place.

Patent for a device that quickly heats and ripens honey, employing a hot water tank containing a pipe coil through which the honey is poured and strained upon exit.

Patent for film-winding attachment that allows for the exact number of rotations to wind film. This invention seeks to prevent unnecessary damage that excessive winding can do to film.

Patent for use with oil well drills to enable easier rotation and less friction. The invention aids in quick and easy adjustments to oil well parts.

Patent for a wrench.

This design "has reference more particularly to that class of devices which are adapted to be applied to and removed from the wires at will" (lines 9-11). It consists in "the rigid bar, hooks . . . pivoted to the bar, and a laterally projecting arm" (lines 69-71).

Patent for machines designed for "raising and lowering railway-tracks and applying ballast thereto." (lines 11-12) including illustrations.

Patent for a wheeled, horse-drawn machine, "whereby plants are firs dampened with water and then overspread with poisonous powder, the latter being caused by the former to adhere to the plant" (para. 9).

Patent for improvements in the construction of coin-operated vending machines which automatically lock when coins are not inserted. This device is designed to dispense objects of many shapes and sizes. Illustrations included.

Patent for a coin operated vending machine for small packaged goods.

Patent for machine adapted to operate upon maize, Kafir corn, cane, and the like so as to effectively remove or rub off the seed or grains, without crushing or breaking the same.

Patent for improvements to cooling apparatus for buildings, especially distilleries and breweries. Illustration included.

Patent for stalk-choppers related to the type employed by "superimposed horizontal cutters" (lines 13-14) including an illustration and description.

Patent for a new method of making gas. The process is a simple and efficient method of making gas continuously, including illustrations.

Patent for a new and improved apparatus for hoisting concrete. This design consists in "[t]he combination of shaft, drum, rope, and bar with the mold formed of [the] plank and with [the] frame . . . [t]he planks of the mold, made with rabbeted ends and provided with clamps . . . [and] [t]he combination of angle-pieces, bars, and clamping-screws with the mold-planks . . . [and] [t]he combination, with the planks of a concrete-mold having beveled ends, of angle-pieces, also having beveled-ends, and provided with screws for clamping the plank" (lines 71-83).

Patent for a new and improved ventilator. This design is "first, to ventilate cars or other vehicles in such a manner that the air-currents may be formed within and directed to any part of the car and the admission of the air regulated in quantity; second, to change the direction of the air-currents formed within the car and regulate their escape" (lines 11-17). It consists in "the body of a vehicle having its walls provided with a suitable pipe-opening, of an air-receiving pipe provided with a screen upon its outer end, a hollow fan-shaped air-distributor having an opening within said walls" (lines 58-63).

Patent for a new and improved ticket reel. This design, "which is filled with the ticket-strip, is mounted upon an angular shaft moving with the reel; said shaft being provided with a journal at or near one end, said journal having bearing in a standard or bracket rigid upon a base piece or plate adapted to be bolted or screwed to a table or desk. . . . [A]lso, to mount upon the end of the shaft immediately outside the bracket or standard a ratchet-wheel, and to pivot upon the bracket a spring-pressed pawl engaging said ratchet, and to combine with the ticket-reel a suitable friction-spring" (lines 16-28).

Patent for a spring clamp "for suspending small articles -- such as towels, dishcloths, and napkins -- and which may also be employed for hanging window-curtains, portières, goods in show-windows, and similar purposes" (lines 7-12)
