Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 20th February, 1901.

COMPLETE specifications relating to the under-mentioned applications for Letters Patent have been accepted, and are open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time within two months from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the grant of any such patent. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

No. 12579.—5th May, 1900.—WILLIAM HENRY BOYENS, of Kaikoura, South Marlborough, New Zealand, Mechanical Engineer. An improved method of and apparatus for branding carcases of sheep and the like.*

Claim.—In an apparatus such as described, the use of an air-box, with a perforated face-plate and recessed chambers, attached, as described, to an exhaust-pipe; the necessary vacuum created, when the apparatus is placed firmly (to prevent escape of air) against a carcase, a character is obtained in relief, this being the more effectively secured by means of the perforations in the face-plate of the apparatus than by any other known means. I therefore seek to obtain letters patent for the joint combination of socket, tap, valve, air-box, perforations, and recessed chamber, used in conjunction with vacuum, as the operative agency for branding carcases of sheep.
(Specification, 3s.; drawings, 1s.)

No. 12796.—16th July, 1900.—THOMAS CUSDIN, of Orrong Road, Armadale, Melbourne, Victoria, Farrier, and JOHN WILLIAM RICE, of “Trecarne,” Grand View Grove, Armadale aforesaid, Traveller. Improvements in horse-shoes.*

Claims.—(1.) A compound elastic-tread horse-shoe, constructed of upper and lower members or plates A, B, united or formed in one at the toe, and separated towards and at the heel by intermediate elastic cushion C, the two plates being united by rivets E shouldered and riveted at their upper ends to the upper plate A, and the lower plate being formed with cavities in its under-face, in which the lower heads of the rivets are housed so that when, by the compression of the cushions, the rivet-heads are caused to protrude into the cavities, the rivets will be protected by the adjacent walls or solid portions of the plate B from contact with the ground or with stones, substantially as specified. (2.) A shoe of the kind specified in claim 1, having, besides the cavities G to receive the rivets, additional cavities such as H to receive and collect road-detritus, the cavities H being separated from the cavities G by an intermediate cross-bar or solid portion I, substantially as specified. (3.) A shoe of the kind specified in claim 1, having downwardly projecting side clips formed on the upper plate, and adapted to laterally confine the rubber cushions, as described.
(Specification, 5s. 6d.; drawings, 1s.)

No. 13033.—3rd October, 1900.—JOSEPH ADDISON FRANCIS of Norwood, South Australia, Irrigation Engineer. An improved “buzz” fly- or insect-trap.*

A fly- or insect-trap comprising a trough with closed ends, and a horizontal opening and baffle along its upper part, said opening being held adjacent to a vertical surface such as a window-pane. (2.) The combination with a trough having closed ends and an opening and baffle along its upper part adjacent to a vertical surface such as a window-pane, of a stationary holding- and adjusting-clip. (3.) The combination of—(a) a vertical transparent surface such as a window; (b) a horizontally positioned trough, with horizontal opening and baffle; (c) means for adjusting and attaching the said trough adjacent to the said vertical surface, substantially as described. (4.) The combination of—(a) a vertical transparent surface such as a window; (b) a horizontally positioned trough, with horizontal opening and baffle; (c) a poisonous powder or material spread over the bottom interior of the trough; (d) means for adjusting and attaching the said trough to the said vertical surface, substantially as described.
