of the pufher, a fecond fpring may be 
added, to take upon the pusher, and re- 
_turnit. This may be placed either infde 
of the lock, or within a hollow handle 
faitened to the door, through which 
handle the pufher moves, Thus by draw- 
ing the handle with the fingers fo as to 
hold the door while the thumb preffes the 
pulher, the catch is releafed filently ; on 
the oppofite tide it is only neceflary to 
prefs tee door with the thumb, while the 
pufher is drawn back by the fingers, to 
preduce the fame effect ; but in common 
cafes a fimple preflure of the pufher is fuf- 
ficient to enter the room. Inftead of the 
{mall bolt generally ufed to faften the 
door from within, the catch-bolt is made 
to anfwer the purpofe by ftopping the ac. 
tion of the pufher, with a button placed 
within tae lock, and turning round the 
puther. 
To remove the inconvenience of a pro- 
jecting box, Mr. S$. makes his bolts 
with an clbow or bend, fo as to fhoot into 
the doer-pc tt from the middle of the door 
in the fame manner as the bolt of a mor- 
tife lock. | This mode is alfo applicable to 
drawer, defk, and other locks, where it

may be ufed for greater fecurity of faften- 
ing, by caufing the bolt to take farther 
in ; or the bolt may be made ftraight, and 
Jet into the door, which will be as neat, 
and ftrenger than a mortife-lock. 
Having thus defcribed, in a fummary 
manner, the nature of his improvements, 
the patentee proceeds to explain the draw. 
ings attached to his fpecification, which 
are numerous, and fully adequate to the 
purpofe.

TER,) dated Nov. 23, 1805, for an 
improved Thrafbing-Machine, and an 
improved Portable Windlafs. 
It will be impoffible for us to do more 
than notice the titles of thefe {pecifications, 
which could not be rendered in the leaft 
intelligible or interefling without infertin 
the whole of a very complicated de{crip- 
tion, as the patentee has not annexed any 
drawings of the machines, which ought in 
fuch cafes to be given asaclue to the 
public. We therefore refer the reader to 
an infpeétion of the original {pecification, 
inrolled in the Petty-Bag Office, Chan~ 
cery-Jane.
