Notice of Request to amend Specification.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 2nd August, 1899.

A REQUEST for leave to amend the specification (including drawings) 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. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

No. 11755.—29th June, 1899.—FREDERICK JAMES WATTY, Settler, and JAMES GORDON, Blacksmith, both of Wanganui, New Zealand. An improved fire-escape ladder.

The proposed amendments are as follow:—

(1.) To add the following matter to the descriptive portion of the specification, at the foot of page 3—namely, “An alternate joint is simply the two sections of ladder riveted together, and having an adjustable strut P hinged by rivet as shown in amended drawing at N, the same being shown folded up by dotted lines at p, Fig. 1. S shows the stud, riveted to P, that acts as a stop against the ladder-sides A when the whole is unfolded, the said strut falling down by its own weight when thrown out of a window, thereby hanging against a wall and steadying the ladder; the length of the hinged strut being governed by the projection of any portion of building below the window where it is fixed.”

(2.) To insert the following after the present claims on page 4: “A ladder made in sections that will fold up, as at Figs. 3 and 4, and having hinged struts fixed thereon to stop same on unfolding, and also having links to hold same at top, one of which has a rung kept off the side by a strut, as at G, Fig. 1.”

(3.) To make an addition to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

The applicants give as their reason for the amendments, “That the escape will feed better, and will better answer the purpose of going over the projections on buildings.”
