NEW PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. 
MR. EDWARD THOMASON’S (BIR- 
MINGHAM) for az IMPROVEMENT on 
CORK-SCREWS. 
HE Patentee combines in this inven- 
tion three {crews,the male, the female, 
and what he calls the hermaphrodite fcrew. 
This laft aéts in fome circumftances as a 
male, and in others asa female fcrew.— 
In making ufe of this fcrew, the operator, 
by turning always to the right, draws 
. Out the cork, without any other advan- 
tage than what is gained by the {crew 
fimply ; and when the cork is drawn, by 
turning the {crew to the left, it falls off 
Without touching with the fingers.

MR. CHRISTOPHER WILSON’S, (BER- 
_ MONDSEY) for an improved METHOD 
of obtaining avacuUUM applicable to all 
PNEUMATIC, HYDRAULIC, and ME- 
CHANIC INSTRUMENTS, in which any 
KIND of FLUID 7s made ufe of asa 
POWER. 
The merits of this patent cannot be 
comprehended without reference to the 
figures, which are annexed to the {pecifi- 
‘Cation. ; 
Ea 
MR. JOHN WILLIAMS’s(PORTSMOUTH) 
Jor a METHOD of difengaging HORSES 
From CARRIAGES. 
Mr Williams’s invention confits 
chiefly in the addition of a rolling fplinter- 
bar, affixed to the ufual or main fplinter- 
bar, in fuch a way as will fuffer it toturn, 
on itsaxis, when needful, and alfo in the 
means of faftening the traces to the faid 
rolling-bar. 
The method of difengaging the horfes 
is very fimple : a perfon in the carriage 
has need only, by means of a cord, to 
pull back a boit, when a lever immediately 
rifes, in confequence of the action on the 
traces, the ftuds by which the traces arg 
fatened to the rolling {plinter-bar change 
their pofition, and the traces are inftantly 
fet at liberty. The patentee extends his 
invention to all kinds of carriages. Thofe 
that have fhafts are to have a focket fixed 
to the end of each; and thofe which have 
fliafts, or a pole, which from its con- 
ftrustion would fall to the ground as {oon 
as the horfe, or horfes, are difengaged, 
are to have a piece of iron, with a broad 
bottom, or a wheel, affixed to each thaft, 
or the pole, to prevent the motion being 
checked too fuddenly by the fall. 
Mr. Williams does not claim the me- 
thod of difengaging the harnefs from the 
ends of the pole or fhafts, as part of his 
invention. He obferves, that the opera- 
tion of difengaging the horfe, or horfes, 
is performed with as much facility as the 
pulling of a check-ftring ; and, notwith- 
ftanding the fimplicity of the proceis, it
