Claim. "What I claim as my invention is, an attachment to the vise, substantially as herein described, and for the purposes set forth, which attachment is removable at pleasure, and requires no change in the construction of the vise to which it is applied." 68. For an Improvement in Hoes; William C. Finney, Fayette County, Tennessee. Claim."The improvement that I claim as my invention is, the extension of the blade of the common cotton hoe upward and backward, in a curve form, in such form and manner to enable the laborer, by inserting his instrument and pushing it from him, to reinove by the cutting edge any grass, weeds, superfluous plants, &c., as described." 69. For an Improvement in Mortising Machines; Jos. Guild, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Claim. "What I claim as new is, the sliding wrist connected with the chisel and also with the driving power, in the manner described, in combination with the mechanism described, or its equivalent, for sliding said wrist, so that the operator can, during the motion of the machine, vary the depth of cut of the chisel, or cause it to be suspended, without disconnecting the driving power."

70. For an Improvement in Endless Belts to Threshing Machines; John R. Moffitt, Piqua, Ohio.

"The prominent points of improvement in this invention consist in devices for the prompt and thorough separation of the grain from the straw, which, in the usual machinery for this purpose, is liable to carry off and waste a portion of the grain."

Claim.-"Having thus described the nature of my improvements in machinery for threshing and separating grain, I wish it to be understood, that I lay no claim to originality in passing the screening a second time through the threshing apparatus, as that has already been done; neither do I claim the use of a continuous apron with open slats or interstices, for carrying off the straw; but what I claim herein as new is, the continuous open apron, having its belt formed of links, whose cogs are at one part of their rotation (in connexion with the pinions) or means of propulsion, and are, at another part of their rotation (in connexion with the rollers or other stationary objects), a means of agitation of the said apron."

71. For an Improvement in the Construction of Ploughs; Fortunatus E. Richardson, Hicksford, Virginia.

Claim.

72. For an Improvement in Rotary Knitting Machines; Horatio G. Sanford, Worces ter, Massachusetts.

Claim. "What I claim as my invention is, the combination of the mechanism termed the stop motion, with the rotary knitting machinery of the kind as above specified, the ob ject of the stop motion being to arrest the operations of the machine on breakage of the yarn."

73. For an Improvement in Rotary Knitting Machines; David Tainter, Worcester, Massachusetts.

Claim. "I do not claim the combining one or more draft rollers and a take-up roller, or drum, in one frame, which, when put in rotation, shall carry them simultaneously around with it, so as to draw forwards and wind up a rope or cord, or like manufacture, formed of strands twisted together; nor do I claim the application of a take-up roller or mechanism, as used on either a common warp or flat braid knitting machine; but what I VOL. XXV.-THIRD SERIES.-No. 1.-JANUARY, 1853.

3

do claim as my invention is, to so combine a draft and take-up roller, and mechanism for revolving it with a rotary series or set of needles, and other mechanism of the abovementioned peculiar kind for knitting, that such draft roller shall rotate simultaneously, or with the same velocity, with such series of needles, so as to prevent the longitudinal rows of stitches from being produced in helical lines, and the evil consequences resulting to the fabric therefrom.

"I also claim the arrangement of the draft and take-up mechanism, in connexion with the knitting mechanism, supported by two separate frames, and also their connexion with the mechanism for producing an equal and simultaneous rotation of these frames, all substantially as described, whereby there shall not only be no connexion between the frames to extend through the fabric, but no projection from the frame to come in contact with the presser, stitch wheels, and cam bar, or their respective supports, during the simultaneous and equal rotations of both or either of the said frames."

74. For an Improvement in Cooking Stoves; Henry J. Ruggles, West Poultney, Ver

mont.
