What's New in Patents 



Baby's Bottle-Holder 



and 



A 



N adjustable 

 arm is de- 

 signed to be affixed 

 to an infant's crib 

 or cradle. Attached 

 to the end of this 

 arm is a device for 

 holding a nursing 

 bottle. A bottle is 



placed in the clamp 



and its position may be readily fixed 

 and adjusted. This device allows the 

 feeding of an infant without the pres- 

 ence of the mother or nurse. 



Tool for Stripping Insulation 



FOR the split- 

 ting of the 

 outer wrapping of 

 an insulated elec- 

 tric wire the tool 

 has a laterally pro- 

 jecting blade in the 

 center of two pro- 

 jections which 

 serves as guides 

 while it is being drawn along the wire. 

 On the side of the instrument is a blade 

 which strips the insulation from the wire 

 when the outer covering has been split 

 away. 



Electrically Lighted Pencil 



TO the end of 

 a slender dry 

 battery terminat- 

 ing in a bulb is 

 threaded a clamp 

 which by means of 

 set screws holds a 

 lead pencil. A leaf 

 spring switch is 

 affixed to the wall 

 of the battery so that the circuit may be 

 easily made. When the switch is pressed 

 the bulb is lighted, and the light is 

 thrown upon the paper directly in front 

 of the moving pencil. 



Combined Door Bell 

 Mail Receiver 



THE fulcrum 

 which actu- 

 ates the door bell 

 is devised to 

 act as a holder for 

 mail. A spring in 

 the bell holds the 

 lengthened bar 

 against the house 

 at a considerable 

 tension. The mail 

 carrier pulls the 

 fulcrum away 

 from its normal 



position to insert the mail. This actu- 

 ates the ringing mechanism of the bell. 



An Aid to the Veterinary 



TWO pairs of 

 pivoted jaws 

 are equipped with 

 teeth plates to cov- 

 er the teeth of a 

 horse. One of the 

 jaws terminates in 

 a set of fixed teeth, 

 which may become 

 engaged with a 

 latch affixed to the other jaw. A strap 

 holds the device in position on the head 

 of the animal. By means of the teeth 

 and latch, the horse's mouth may be held 

 open during a veterinary's examination. 



A Room Stove Water Heater 



THE water 

 jacket is re- 

 versible end for 

 end, having its 

 greatest diameter 

 at its middle point. 

 The walls are 

 thickened where 

 the cold water en- 

 ters the stove, thus 

 preventing harm- 

 ful contraction or 

 expansion of the 

 walls.
