Hill, London, N., England, Telegraph Engineer. Improvements in tape-perforating apparatus for telegraph instruments
and other purposes.

Claims.—(1.) In a perforating-apparatus, a central series
of feed-hole-punches, a series of marking-hole-punches on
each side of the feed-hole-punches, a vertically movable slider,
interlocking pins operating on opposite sides of the slider for
locking the marking-hole-punches to the slider, said marking-hole-punches engaging the feed-hole-punches to carry the
same down therewith. (2.) A perforating-apparatus having
tape-feeding mechanism with an adjustable plate controlling
the variable movement of the said mechanism and a limiting-key for operating the said plate. (3.) In a perforating-apparatus, a variable tape-feeding mechanism comprising a
series of stop-pins operated through connections from parallel
selecting-bars by shifting stems 38 with a plate and limiting-key for shifting the said stems one up to eliminate the space-hole. (4.) In a perforating-apparatus, variable tape-feeding
mechanism comprising a series of stopping-devices arranged
in echelon, parallel bars operated from the keys for selecting
either one of the said stopping-devices, and a shifting-plate
operated by a limiting-key for changing the selection of the
stopping-device to eliminate the spacing-hole, substantially
as described. (5.) A perforating-machine having punches to
be connected with a slider by interlocking pins controlled
by parallel selecting-bars and an electro-magnet or pneumatic means for operating the slider after the interlocking pins have selected the punches. (6.) In connection with
the features of claim 6, an adjustable stop for the punches
acting preferably on the operating-lever for limiting the
movement of the punches under the pull of the electro-magnetic or pneumatic means, and an adjustable stop for limiting
the rise of the punches. (7.) A perforating-apparatus having
a tape-feed wheel, a feed-girder supported on links, one of
which is pivoted axially of the feed-wheel, electro-magnetic
or pneumatic means for operating the feed-girder, and stop-feed pins arranged to be struck by the end face of the feed-girder as it swings longitudinally. (8.) In connection with
the features of claim 8, arranging a lantern wheel to be
operated by the feed-girder, and operating the feed-girder from
the electro-magnetic or pneumatic means by a lever connected with the armature or piston and having a reverse
check-tooth for engaging the lantern wheel, said lantern wheel
being connected with the tape-feed wheel. (9.) A perforating-machine having tape-feed mechanism controlled differentially
by stop-pins, which are set in position from parallel selecting-bars through connections which impart an initial high speed
to the said pins, gradually decreasing said speed as the pins approach their effective positions. (10.) A perforating-machine
having a group of punches, interlocking pins for selecting said
punches, parallel selecting-bars operated from the keyboard
for operating the interlocking pins, a perforating electro-magnet for forcing the selected punches through the tape, tape-feed mechanism, including a setting electro-magnet, differential stop-devices with means for setting the same mechanically from the parallel selecting-bars, circuit connections,
including the perforating magnet and the tape-feed-setting
magnet and electric contacts, closed in succession by the
movement of one of the parallel bars, preferably through a
single lever, for energising first the tape-feed-setting magnet
and then the perforating magnet, and for de-energising them
in reverse order, substantially as described. (11.) In a perforating-machine, a star feed-wheel having an adjustment in
relation to the shaft carrying it, preferably by an adjustable
ring in order to register with the feed-holes. (12.) In a perforating-machine, a tape-feed wheel having points, a shoe of
segmental form to hold the tape into engagement with a
plurality of said points, and a spring-pressed support for the
said shoe, substantially as shown and described. (13.) The
general arrangement and construction of parts for operating
the punches and the tape-feed mechanism, whether electro-magnetically or pneumatically, substantially as shown and
described.

No. 16640.—16th July, 1903.—MICHAEL ARRAGON, of
“Springdale,” Adelong, New South Wales, Gentleman. An
improved contrivance for the heating of schoolrooms,

No. 16641.—16th July, 1903.—JOHN DAVID WILSON, of St.
Leonard’s, New South Wales, Manufacturer. Improvements
in brick-kilns.

Claims.—(1.) In brick-kilns, a continuous flue overlying the
chambers of the kiln, and connected thereto by means of
smaller flues and valves in such a manner that the hot gases
from the burning bricks must pass on their way to chimney
the apertures through which the vapours from the drying
bricks are ascending, substantially as described and illustrated. (2.) In brick-kilns, the construction of the arches in
sections having a sufficient space between each to form the
cross lines of feed-holes, substantially as described, and as
illustrated in the drawings.
(Specification, 3s. 6d. ; drawings, 1s.)

No. 16649.—17th July, 1903.—JAMES BATES, of Mount

hinged or pivoted damper flaps or doors G mounted so as to
open or close the passages from the fire-box to the side flues,
and adapted to be operated by a handle at the front of the
casing, substantially as and for the purpose specified, and as
illustrated. (2.) In one-fire stoves and portable kitchen-ranges, a draught-regulator from the fire-box to the outlet-flue, consisting in a plurality of slots or passages in the back
