Patent Office,
Wellington, 4th December, 1900.

REQUESTS for leave to amend the specifications (including drawings) relating to the under-mentioned applications for Letters Patent have been received, and are 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.

No. 10951.—8th September, 1898.—JAMES LANG ANDERSON, of 54, Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand, Farmer. An improved tree-stump extractor.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—

(1.) To substitute “claws” for “other shackles,” line 17, page 1; and “claws” for “shackles,” line 18, page 1.

(2.) To strike out “claws are connected by links to the hauling-shackles and,” lines 18 and 19, page 1; and to alter the following “a” to a capital “A.”

(3.) To strike out words “chain and,” line 5, page 2.

(4.) To insert “and connected to a ratchet-bar provided with teeth on each side,” after “extracted,” line 6, page 2.

(5.) To substitute “catch” for “link,” lines 7 and 12, page 2.

(6.) To substitute “ratchet-bar” for “chain,” line 7 page 2, line 23 page 3; and for “hauling-chain,” line 17, page 3.

(7.) To strike out the words “the said links being made of suitable size for this purpose,” lines 7 and 8, page 2.

(8.) To strike out the words “Figure 4 is an end view of the same,” line 24, page 2; and to alter the figures “5,” “6,” and “7” in the succeeding lines to “4,” “5,” and “6” respectively.

(9.) To substitute for “shackles (7 and 8) claws (9 and 10) links connecting the hauling-shackles to the claws,” lines 5 and 6, page 3, “claws which are forked at (7 and 8) so as to allow of the forked ends passing one on each side of the lever (1).”

(10.) To substitute “flat ratchet-bar which is provided with serrations or teeth on both sides” for “hauling-chain,” line 9, page 3.

(11.) To insert between lines 11 and 12, page 3, “The hauling-claws (5 and 6) are provided with short projecting pieces (9 and 10) so that they shall be kept from falling down away from contact with the ratchet-bar (14). They are also connected together by means of a slight spring (5a) which serves to keep the claws always pressed against the serrated edges of the ratchet-bar.”

(12.) To alter figures “7 and 8,” lines 22 and 28, page 3, to “5 and 6.”

(13.) To cross out “applied to and adjusted upon the chain (14) at each oscillation of the lever (1),” line 28 page 3, lines 1 and 2 page 4, and insert instead “at each oscillation of the lever moved back and forward upon the ratchet-bar (14), and at each backward movement will engage with one of the teeth therein.”

(14.) To insert “bar” in place of “chain,” line 2, page 4.

(15.) To strike out “The claws (7 and 8) have split heads or ends (24) which will readily pass between the links of the chain (14), and I bend the shank (25) of the said claws to prevent them slipping off the chain,” lines 6, 7, 8, and 9, page 4.

(16.) To alter claim 1 by striking out “shackles provided with,” line 3; substituting “teeth” for “links,” line 4, and “ratchet-bar connected” for “hauling-chain secured,” line 4.

(17.) To alter claim 2 by substituting “claws” for “shackles,” line 2; “ratchet-bar” for “hauling-chain,” line 5; and striking out words “claws connected to the hauling-shackles,” line 4.

(18.) To strike out the whole of claim 3, and to alter the figure in the following claim from “4” to “3.”

(19.) To alter the drawings marked “Fig. 1,” and “Fig. 2,” and Fig. 6”; to strike out those marked “Fig. 3,” “Fig. 4,” and Fig. 5”; to insert two fresh views marked “Fig. 3” and “Fig. 4”; to alter “Fig. 6” and “Fig. 7” to “Fig. 5” and “Fig. 6” respectively.

The applicant states: “My reasons for making these amendments are to more clearly define the nature and scope of my invention, and to limit the claims therefor.”
