Exclusive of the savings before enume- 
rated, it must be of very great benefit to 
the manufacturer, that he can bring into 
the market, in the same given time, a

for a new or improved Hook, for bear 
eng up the Heads of Horses in drawing 
Carriages. 
This invention consists in a spring or 
springs, beiig so fixed to what is usually 
called the watering-hook of a saddle, as 
to communicate, by means of the bear- 
ing rein, a certain freedom of action to 
the motion of the berse’s head in travel- 
ling. ‘These hooks may be constructed 
in various ways, but the patentee recom- 
mends a round plate of brass, or other 
metal, to be fastened to the pummel of 
the saddle; through the centre is passed 
a pin, on which the hook is fixed, so as 
to move backwards and forwards on the 
centre. Just below the shoulder of the 
hook is rivetted a circular wire, having 
a worm-spring, and to the plate, on the 
other side of the hook, and at a short 
distance. from it, is fixed a ring, or flat 
“piece of metal, having a hole through it 
sufficiently large to admic the circular 
wire, but not’ so large as to suffer the 
spring to pass through it; by this means 
that end of the spring ts prevented trom 
moving during the motion of the hook 
and circular wire, and, the other end re- 
acting against the hook, has a constant

part of the bow must be held if a vice, 
and the snout twisted; and if the bow 
should be weak, or mjured ix turning, a 
sinall rivet may be put in the frent.

MR. NICHOLAS FAIRLESS(SOUTH SHIELDS), 
Jor a Windlass, Windlass Bitts, and 
Metallic Huwse-hole Chamber, by which 
manual Labour and Lime are suved in 
heaving to, and getting on board Ships’ 
Anchors, 
The bitt-heads are hollaw, containing 
the wheels wrought by the cranks or 
handles, which give motion ty. the wind- 
lass body. “The surge-boxes are of cast 
iron, having such an angle, that when a 
rope is applied round the ends. of the 
windlass to raise a weight, the rope slips 
down,’ or is ferced_ by the adjoining part 
of the said rope into its original situation, 
and is thereby prevented, from what the 
seamen call riding, that is, the ofe part 
crossing the other, which always pre. 
duces much delay and inconvenience, 
The windlass body turns on an iro® axis, 
the ends of which are turned to fit the 
pall-wheels and windlass-ends, being se- 
cured by keys inserted into each. - By 
Mr. F.’s method the force exerted on the 
‘cranks or handles is thrown on the wind- 
lass body, without any twist being laid 
on the iron axis. The ends of the wind- 
lass are inserted into the surge-boxes, 
their centres are secured to the ends of 
the axis by keys. There is a cast-iron 
pall-box, with a hole of an octagonal er 
other form, to answer the size and shape 
of the shaft of the windlass, and which, 
ing driven to the centre of the shaft, 
ecomes a hoop to the same. The cx~ 
gree, any force tending to draw. the hook terior of the pail-box is divided into any 
round the centre: hence it may readily 
be conceived, that, by means of the 
spring, the bearing rein is constantly 
drawn back with a certain degree of 
force, at thesame time allowing ita pro- 
per motion or play. © Thus a freedom is 
given to the motion of the horse’s head, 
similar to that which is given by the 
haud of a rider.

MR. T. and 5. CLATSWORTHY (WINSFORD), 
Sor Shears on an Improved Canstiuc- 
tion for shearing Sheep, $c. 
The principle of this inveution is in the 
bow of the shears, which is made double. 
The bow, before it 1s turned, is about 
nine or ten inches long, whicl: is turned 
double in the middle ; it is then brought 
Straight, leaving a snout, aboat an inch 
long in the niddle of the bow, When 
the bow is turned into shape, the hinder 
number of parts as occasion may require, 
and is so indented asto admit palls or 
stops, which are fixed by hinges to the 
pall-bitt, to fall into the said indents, and 
thereby prevent the windlass having a 
reverse motion, ‘The pall-wheels at the 
ends of the windlass may have any num- 
ber of teeth, so as the palls act with 
those at the centre; consequently the 
handles can be forced back but a few 
inches by any extraordinary resistance on 
the windlass-body. 
The drawings, attached to this specifi- 
cation, give a good view of all the parts 
of the machinery, and of the action of 
the whole ; and the patentee claims, that 
his inventién consists not only in making 
the improved windlass, but also of at- 
taching or applying any of its parts to the 
commion witdlass now in use, ;
