Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 20th August, 1902.

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. 13906.—14th August, 1901.—JOHN MACLEAN, of Wicksteed Place, Wanganui, New Zealand, Bootmaker. An Improved horse-cover.*

Description.—My improved horse-cover consists in a canvas cover of the form and construction as shown in the attached drawings, marked Nos. 1, 2, and 3 respectively, having gussets at I, J, K, L, M, N, with seam from P to Q, which approximate the form of the cover to the contour of the animal; also the two leather straps S, each fixed to the sides of the cover on the outward sides to dies G and H respectively as at H (Fig. No. 2), which straps are able to pass underneath on the inner side of cover so as to go between the animal’s hind legs and through a loop T attached to dies E and F respectively at each side, and extend crosswise towards the corners of the cover so as to interlace and move in a loop or keeper R under the animal, and thence towards the dies C and D respectively, and through an aperture therein so as to fasten to buckle U (see Fig. No. 2) at C and D respectively on the outer side, the cover also having on the outside the strap B and buckle A fixed to dies V and W respectively so as to fasten over the breast of the animal as at A (Fig. No. 3), and also having flannel lining O inside and a piping of cord from A to Q and Q to B.

Claim.—In horse-covers, a form of cover with arrangement of straps and fastenings whereby the cover fits better, is more secure upon, and less liable to abrade, an animal, substantially as described.

No. 14014.—19th September, 1901.—WILLIAM NICOL, of Invercargill, New Zealand, Watchmaker. Improvements in apparatus for starting and timing races.*

Claims.—(1.) In apparatus for starting and timing races, a clockwork mechanism provided with a metallic dial with peg-holes at regular intervals therein, and with means whereby such clockwork may be instantaneously stopped and started, in combination with a seconds hand passing round such dial and provided on its end with an adjustable metal spring adapted to engage with metallic pegs placed in the holes in the dial and complete an electric circuit to cause a bell to sound, as specified. (2.) In apparatus for starting and timing races, spring-actuated mechanism adapted to operate a bell-hammer, a spring lever provided with a projection thereon engaging with a projection upon a wheel of the mechanism so as to prevent it from actuating, and means whereby such lever may be pressed out of engagement with the mechanism upon the completion of an electric current and be returned to its normal position when the current is broken, as set forth. (3.) In apparatus for starting and timing races, spring-actuated mechanism adapted to operate a bell-hammer, a spring lever a projection on which engages with a projection upon a wheel of the mechanism, a spring lever of greater tension arranged parallel with the first lever and provided with an arm the end of which bears against the first lever and keeps the two levers apart, an electro-magnet the armature of which is provided with a stop projection that engages with the second lever and releases the same upon being drawn towards the magnet
