Upon examination of their specifications and claims we find they are allowed every point just as they have been manufacturing their celebrated washer. The rog.gearing having an angular hole through which extends the angular rod that operates the rubber black Is tho main feature of tkis washer, and bis claims are all allowed upon It. Several manufactur ers of washers have approached Mr. Mears to make terms for tho purchase of this movement, but be has avoided them all knowing the value of his invention. Mr. Mears constructed bis first washer nearly two years ago and soon after made his ap plication for a patent but through the de lay of certain matters at the patent office it was deferred until April 3d. Now that all claims are allowed him, we look for an Increase in his business, and hope it may deyelop a large Industry in our coturaunity.
