No. 18537.—30th September, 1904.—MICHAEL WOODS, of
309, Pigdon Street, Princes Hill, Carlton, Engineer, and
THOMAS JEFFERSON GILBERT, of 1, Minnie Street, Bruns-
wick, Dealer, both of Victoria, Australia. Portable apparatus
for dressing the surfaces of rails in situ.

Extract from Specification.—The object of our invention
is to provide an apparatus for cheaply and expeditiously re-
moving joint or other inequalities in the surfaces of tram or
other rails whilst they are in place. In the past, especially
where rails were uneven at the joint, it has frequently been
the practice to remove the unevenness or inequalities by
chipping or filing. But with our invention a rotating dressing-
wheel, which is mounted on a portable framework, is pro-
vided. One end of the said framework is capable of being
elevated or depressed, the said framework can also be moved
by hand along the rails, and the dressing-wheel and its shaft
are capable of moving longitudinally. The framework can
also be bodily elevated by a crank and lever, and thus, like a
two-wheeled hand-truck, be ready for transport to any dis-
tance from the rails.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.]

hanger.

Claim.—The combination with a coat-hanger of a bracket
adapted to be secured to a wall or other surface, such hanger
being suspended from the extremity of the outwardly extend-

No. 18543.—4th October, 1904.—HENRY PRINCE, of West-
mere, near Wanganui, New Zealand, Farmer. Improved
fastener for the legs of animals.

Claims.—(1.) For the purpose indicated, a length of flexible
material having a ring at one end, a snap-hook at the other
end, and two rings fixed in intermediate positions, substanti-
ally as specified and illustrated. (2.) A fastener for the leg
of an animal consisting of the parts constructed, arranged,
and operating substantially as specified, and illustrated in the
drawing.

No. 18555.—6th October, 1904.—ALFRED FALKNER, of
Kaiparoro, Wellington, New Zealand, Sawmiller. Improved
manner of forming moulding-boards to adapt them for mak-
ing raised panel or square turned work.

Claim.—The improved manner of forming moulding-
boards to adapt them for use in raised panel and square
turned work, the same consisting in forming the back sur-
face of the board with an inclined face extending inwards
and outwards from one edge at an angle to the main surface
thereof, substantially as specified, and as illustrated in the
drawings.

No. 18573.—10th October, 1904.—HENRY ASHWORTH, of
Hanover Street, Wadestown, Wellington, New Zealand,
Carrier. Improved apparatus for washing, straining, and
draining wool.

Extract from Specification.—In the side of a wash-box,
constructed somewhat similarly to those already in use, I
provide a gate, and a strainer-box having an entrance leading
to the said gate. After the wool has been sufficiently washed
the gate is opened, the wool is washed through the gateway
into the strainer-box, which is then hoisted clear of the
water by blocks and tackle or the like. The greater part of
the water leaves the wool while in the elevated strainer-box,
and is then removed by hand and placed upon drainers con-
structed of battens and sheet iron sloped to convey the water
draining from the wool to gutters formed along the edge of
the drainers. Alternate drainers and layers of wool are
stacked upon one another, the weight of the upper drainers
and layers assisting in squeezing the water from the wool
below.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.]

stopper having a plunger, and regulating and positioning
devices.
