- Patent for new and useful flash light system where the "plurality of lights or series of lights are alternately cut into and then out of the lighting-circuit, so there are a series of flashes " (lines 10-13), including illustrations.
- Flexible Hoe and Cotton-Chopper
- Patent for "provide a means by which the swinging blades are made to cut a uniform depth, and do as shallow hoeing as may be required even in rough ground, and also work very close to small plants; second, to provide such gearing and such connection between the driving-wheel and the oscillating blades that the blades maybe readily shifted from right to left to keep them over the row without having to move or change the course of the driving-wheel at the same time" (lines 14-24).
- Fuse carrier.
- Patent for a fuse "holder which carries a number of fuses, capable of being brought into proper position to provide a fresh fuse in the event of the burning or blowing out of one of the fuses" (lines 9-13).
