Patent for a new and improved motorized butter churn. This design utilizes paralleled uprights, shafts, through-holes, screw-holes, a crank, pit-men, and a cross-head (lines 85-92).

Patent for a new and improved pessary, or uterine supporter. This design "provides an easy and flexible support . . . and one that will adapt itself to the flexions of the body . . . and one that can be readily removed" (lines 36-40).

Patent for a new and improved feed water heater. This design "provide[s] a system of levers and a float which will automatically regulate the feed or supply of water to such heaters and lime-extractors . . . and further, that by securing a uniform supply of water the steam acts more equally upon the water, and thus secures a more uniform deposit of the lime" (lines 22-33). This allows for fewer accidents and less damage to the engine.

Patent for a recording ballot box to "indicate accurately and instantly the result of an election" (line 10-12).
