Patent for a motor-propelled fan that can attach to any support, especially beds steads and other furniture. The motor is simple and can be easily manipulated.

Patent for a feeding chamber and door for baling presses that vertically extends so that "the feed material need not be tucked down by hand or foot to a level of the baling chamber, as this is accomplished by the door being closed down, a lever and weight can be attached to the door to properly depress the material to allow the door to latch, and as the door prevents the material from bulging up the compressing can be accomplished direct in the feeding chamber, the plunger need not pass but a short distance beyond the feeding chamber thus requiring less movement of the plunger and thus gaining more power" (lines 23-35).

Patent for "a new and useful improvement in pinless clothes lines" (lines 10-11) that uses spring-clamping fingers that are part of the line instead of detachable pins; including instructions and illustrations.

Patent for an improved wrench that has two movable jaws and can separate about the length of the handle. The wrench's "head or nut for operating the upper jaw is swiveled and forms a part of the handle" (lines 14-15). The wrench can be converted into a pipe-wrench.

Patent for "a churn dasher to which a rotary movement shall be imparted by the resistance offered by the fluid to the dasher when the latter is given a vertical reciprocating movement in the ordinary manner, the rotary movement being constantly in one direction, irrespective of the direction of the vertical reciprocating movement" (lines 13-21).

Patent for an improved, inexpensive, and simple planter that is "adapted to plant either corn or cotton and that at predetermined distances; to so construct the machine as to adapt it readily for change from one form of planter to the other; and to improve the manner of securing the furrow-opening shovel-carrying standard and the seed tube, whereby the former and latter are prevented from breaking or becoming injured should they contact with a stone, stump, or other obstacle of sufficient size and firmness to injure them" (lines 10-21).

Patent for a simple cupsidor that attaches to the floor of railway cars and other places and can be easily cleaned. They are designed to be installed in a line and connected so they can be opened and cleaned at the same time. A valve and a tube hold and empty the contents of the cupsidor.

Patent for a plow that has an improved land-slide that can be "expeditiously and conveniently removed from the shank plate of the plow, and to so construct the shank plate that the share when placed thereon will be firmly held in position and be prevented from slipping vertically" (lines 10-15). The land-slide and shank-plate are firmly interlocked.

Patent for an improved pneumatic cotton-picker that is meant "to produce a simple machine having a cotton receiving box or vacuum box and arranged to use both a blast and suction pipe, these pipes being oppositely arranged and the suction pipe being made to deliver into the cotton box" (lines 10-17). The cotton is sucked from the plants and delivers it into a cotton box. A guide lines the machine up with the row of cotton.
