Notice of Request to amend Specification.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 5th July, 1894.

A REQUEST to be allowed to amend the specification relating to the under-mentioned application for Letters Patent has been received, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time within one month from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the amendment. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon:—

No. 6829.—9th May, 1894.—George Arthens, of Foxton, New Zealand, Clerk in Holy Orders. An invention for a new or improved pumice-stone burner for lamps or stoves.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows, viz.:—

1. By striking out the following words, &c.—"According to my invention I manufacture a burner composed of pumice-stone. I use the ordinary metal used in lamps for the tube or tubes to contain the pumice-stone powder. The pumice-stone powder, in the case of a circular burner (now chiefly used in lamps), is enclosed between the outer and inner tubes (as in the case of an ordinary cotton wick); the innermost tube passing (also as usual) through the reservoir to the base of the lamp, the inner tube being of equal dia-

meter throughout; but the outer tube, being larger at its base than at the top, passes to the bottom of the reservoir, and is perforated at its base to admit the kerosene. Down the centre of the inner tube passes the column supporting the spreader, which I also use as an extinguisher"—contained in lines 4 to 26 of the specification, and inserting in place thereof the following words: i.e., "I use in place of a cotton wick pumice-stone powder. This powder is prepared by any preferred method, but I take pumice-stone freed from impurities, and grind it fine, when it is ready for use. This powder may be used in a special case, or it may be used in an ordinary cotton-wick case. In the latter instance the cotton wick should be lowered into the case so as to leave an interval from the top of the case to the cotton wick. The powder being then filled in until flush with the top will, by capillary attraction, continue the flow of oil from the cotton wick, and may be lighted as an ordinary wick. A special case may be of any shape, whether flat or circular. I make the case long enough to reach the bottom of the oil reservoir, and I make it slightly wider in gauge than for a cotton wick. The powder is retained in the case at the bottom by a packing of cotton or other matter having capillary attraction. If convenient, the cotton is retained by closing the bottom of the case. When this is done, access for the oil must be given by the use of perforations, or wire-gauze, in part of the bottom or walls of the case. The wick is permanent, and requires no lowering or tightening. An ordinary spreader is used with the circular form of wick-case, but I also attach a mechanism for adjustment of the spreader, and using it as an extinguisher."

2. By striking out the words, "A burner for lamps or stoves consisting, for a circular burner, of an inner and outer tube, and a pumice-stone powder, packed or filled between the two," constituting the first claim, and inserting in place thereof the words, "The use of a powder made from pumice-stone, as a wick, for lighting and heating lamps."

3. By striking out the words, "In the burner for lamps or stoves, as before described, a spreader (flame) for circular burners, upon a movable column worked by a bar at the lower part of the lamp, so as to become also an extinguisher," constituting the second claim, and substituting for such words the words, "The use of a powder made from pumice-stone as a wick, in a wick-case or tube, for lighting and heating lamps."

4. By striking out the paragraph immediately succeeding the second claim: viz., "Thirdly, When the spreader and extinguisher is removed from the column, a stopper can be placed on it while the burner is filled or replenished, when the pumice-stone is injured by age or by accident."

The applicant gives as his reason for desiring to amend: "That the specification, as lodged, is not sufficiently explicit, and that I desire to restrict my claims to what I have really invented."

Registrar of Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks.
