(3.) A concentrating apparatus comprising an inclined oscillatory concentrating-table, means whereby an oscillating motion is imparted to the table, a series of concentric riffles arranged upon the working-face of the table, each riffle being the involute of a circle, and its discharge end terminating at a point beyond that of its preceding riffle, and a plain or unrifled surface to the table on to which the riffles discharge. (4.) An ore-concentrating apparatus comprising a cone-shaped concentrating-table having a plain or unrifled portion, of means for imparting an oscillating motion to said table, and a series of concentric involute riffles arranged on the working-face of the table, the discharge end of each riffle terminating at a point beyond that of the riffle immediately above the same. (5.) An ore-concentrator comprising an inclined circular table having an unrifled or plain portion adjacent its discharge for the mineral, a series of curved riffles extending from approximately a radial division of the table on to the plain or unrifled portion thereof, means for imparting an oscillatory motion to the table, and an inclined launder or trough attached to and carried by the table, said launder or trough arranged to receive the middlings from the table and to discharge same thereon for reworking. (6.) An ore-concentrator comprising an inclined circular table having an unrifled or plain portion adjacent its discharge for the mineral, a series of curved riffles arranged on the working-face thereof and extending from approximately the head of said table on to its plain or unrifled portion, means for imparting an oscillatory motion to the table, and a valve-controlled return launder or trough attached to and carried by the table, said launder or trough arranged to receive the middlings discharged from the table and to return the same thereto at its head.

No. 14486.—30th January, 1902.—JAMES DINGWALL, of 21, King Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Produce Salesman. An improved metallic canister or package for butter and similar substances.

Claims.—(1.) A metallic canister or package for the purposes specified, having an internal false rim as C secured to and within the side A by crimping them together vertically at c and a², substantially as described and shown. (2.) A metallic canister for the purposes specified, having its side A provided with two lines of cuts in it at a a, and an internal false rim as C secured by crimping at the desired position within the side, substantially as described and shown.

No. 14487.—30th January, 1902.—ISABEL AGNES PLUMMER, of Thamesis View Street, Woollahra, near Sydney, New South Wales, Teacher of drafting, cutting, and making Costumes. Improvements in or connected with adjustable patterns for drafting garments.

Claims.—(1.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments wherein there is employed a type of mechanically adjustable pattern for drafting the front part of the body, and such, for example, as is shown at Fig. 1, the combination therewith of mechanically adjustable means for drafting that part of the garment below the waist-line, commonly known as the front skirt or skirt on the front, and comprising the plates 20x, 19x, and 20x, and the parts connected therewith, substantially as described. (2.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments wherein there is employed a type of mechanically adjustable pattern for drafting the front part of the body, and such, for example as shown at Fig. 1, the combination therewith of the mechanically adjustable means for drafting a curved front for the upper part of the body, substantially as described. (3.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments, the application to the mechanically adjustable pattern for drafting the front part of the body of the improved means for drafting the part of the garment below the waist-line, in combination with the mechanically adjustable means for drafting a curved front for the upper part of the body, all substantially as and for the purposes described with reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings. (4.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments, the construction and arrangement of parts composing the adjustable pattern for drafting the side-body part so that the required size and shape of the lower rear portion of the material can be obtained without altering or distorting other parts of the pattern, substantially as described with reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings. (5.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments, wherein there is employed a mechanically adjustable pattern for drafting the sleeve, providing the latter with mechanically acting means for proportionally varying the relative positions of the two sets of plates, 77 to 80 and 71 to 74, for varying the relative widths of the upper and under sleeve parts in the proper proportions, substantially as described. (6.) In adjustable patterns for drafting garments wherein there is employed a mechanically adjustable pattern for drafting the sleeve, the combination with the latter pattern of the particular construction and arrangement of parts by which the relative positions of the two sets of plates 77 to 80 and 71 to 74 are proportionally varied in their relative positions, substantially as shown and described with reference to Fig. 5 of the drawings. (7.) The particular constructions and arrangements of parts composing a complete set of adjustable patterns for drafting women’s bodies and outer garments, comprising the front-body pattern, the under-arm pattern, the side-body pattern, the back pattern, and the sleeve pattern, all substantially as and for the purposes described with reference to the drawings.

Claims.—(1.) In a skylight, wire clips pivoted upon the vertical ribs of the combing or intermediate bars, the said clips being bent upon themselves to spring upon and secure the glass of the skylight, substantially as set forth. (2.) In a skylight, in combination, wire clips pivoted upon the vertical ribs of the combing or intermediate bars, the said clips being bent upon themselves to spring upon and secure the glass, and angle strips upon the edges of glass and beneath the clips for locking and distributing the pressure of the clips, substantially as set forth.
