Notice of Request to amend Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 3rd April, 1901.

REQUESTS for leave to amend the specifications (in one case 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 amendments. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

No. 12722.—22nd June, 1900.—The New Taite Howard Pneumatic Tool Company, Limited, of 63, Queen Victoria Street, London, England, Manufacturers (assignees of Joseph Boyer, of 5334, Maple Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America, Manufacturer). Improvements in pneumatic hammers for hand use.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—
(1.) To alter “the” to “a,” line 2 claim 21, and line 2 claim 22.
(2.) To strike out the letter “D,” lines 2, 5, and 7 claim 21, lines 2 and 16 claim 22.
(3.) To alter MM¹ to VV¹, lines 4 and 9 claim 21, lines 8 and 16 claim 22, lines 3, 5, 9, 8, 13 claim 23.
(4.) To alter TT to A¹A¹, line 6 claim 21, line 14 claim 22, and line 7 claim 23.
(5.) To alter E to I, line 7 claim 21, line 15 claim 22, line 11 claim 23.
(6.) To insert the word “piston” before the word “chamber,” line 7 claim 21, line 15 claim 22.
(7.) To alter H to YY and I to T, line 3, claim 22; L to X and K to W, line 4, claim 22; and I¹ to T¹, line 5, claim 22.
(8.) To strike out the words “by the passage J,” and to alter “passage H” to “passages Y,” lines 5 and 6, claim 22.
(9.) To alter K¹ to W¹ and L¹ to X¹, line 7, claim 22; I K to T W, line 11, claim 22; and I¹ K¹ to T¹ W¹, line 13, claim 22.
(10.) To alter N to H, lines 4 and 12, claim 23.
(11.) To strike out the words “the strips N¹ inlaid in the said longitudinal grooves and confining the wires TT therein,” lines 9 and 10, claim 23.

The applicants state: “Our reasons for making the amendments are to correct certain errors in the letters of reference to the drawings that occur therein, and to limit the scope of such claims.”

No. 13309.—7th January, 1901.—Thomas Hewton, of Waianakarua, New Zealand, Miller. An improved apparatus for straining wire.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows: To insert the following words after line 10, page 3, of the specification: “Figure 4 shows a slight modification, as F is moved to A3 by a ratchet-pinion and pawl movement by a lever or handle, not shown. Fig. 5 is substantially the same movement as shown in Fig. 1, and the lever G could work on G¹, but be arranged to push F instead of pulling it, and the link F¹ would not be wanted, or, as in Fig. 5, the lever G would be furnished with a projecting pin which works in one of the holes in A¹. In every case the object is merely to force F to A3, and strain wire.”

To add Figs. 4 and 5 to the drawings.

The applicant states:—“My reasons for making this amendment are as follow: I desire to set forth obvious mechanical alternative methods of attaining the result originally set forth by me, so that I may be protected from infringements by any one substituting mere mechanical equivalents for the object desired to be obtained by me. I desire no fresh matter other than as above in any way.”
