Patent for a bale forming press to form bales of hay and automatically secure "baling wires around the bale as formed" (lines 13-14). It automatically stops the feeder when "the bale is being tied" (lines 19-20) and winds and automatically unwinds and winds the wire.

Patent for an aerial projectile for use as an anti-infantry bomb, dropped by planes. Specifically, it is a fragmentation bomb hand dropped from planes that will not only deliver an explosive blast and the subsequent shrapnel, but deliver such a blast as to destroy itself so it cannot be reverse engineered.

Patent for detachable heads and plates for frusco-conical rollers that allow for space between drills, including illustrations.

Patent for improvement on a bale forming machine that will operate easily, positively, and automatically. This invention described for forming and automatically securing wires around bales of hay and other like materials. It has a special object that is an improved form of clutch for connecting the wire twisters and needles and disconnecting them from a driving means. The clutch will permit the plunger in the bailing chamber to perform a predetermined number of strokes after the completion of the bale to be tied.

Patent is to "provide a simple and efficient construction of doors or lids for refrigerators, refrigerator cars, ice boxes, fireless cookers, telephone booths and the like, and as fire doors for storage houses, and wherever it is necessary or desirable to provide for facility of movement in opening or shrinking, due to head or cold, dampness or dryness, or other climatic or atmospheric or similar changes or conditions, while insuring an air tight, smoke, fire and bug proof, and heat insulating closure and seating joint, regardless or vibration of the receptacle on the door frame and of the size or shape of the door or lid." (lines 9-24).
