under-surface of the sheets will enter the spaces thus formed,
and will be caught by the lower sheets and carried out by
them on to the top-surface of the roof. Two ways of attain-
ing this result have been devised. The first consists in lay-
ing a thin batten transversely across between the two sheets
at the lap, while the second consists in bending the lapped
top end of the lower sheet slightly downwards.

No. 18656.—24th October, 1904.—CHARLES BRAKE, of
Lincoln, New Zealand, Veterinary Surgeon. An improved
surgical instrument for use upon cattle.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists of a
barrel having its lower end bell-shaped. A screw is adapted
to be fed into the barrel and to impinge against a rod, on the
end of which are co-axially pivoted two blunt pointed hooks.
When the screw is rotated these are either forced out of the
tube or withdrawn.

(Specification, 3s. 3d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18659.—25th October, 1904.—ALFRED BILLENS, of
Christchurch, New Zealand, Manufacturer. An improved
attachment to spray-pumps for agitating the liquid to be
pumped.

Claim.—In spray-pumps having an enveloping air-cham-
ber, a pipe secured in the chamber whose lower end reaches
nearly to the bottom thereof, the upper end of said pipe
being bent so as to deliver liquid in a nearly vertical stream,
as the pump is operated, into the can or bucket containing
the liquid in which the pump has been placed, and a tap upon
the pipe-end, substantially as described.
(Specification, 1s. 9d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18661.—27th October, 1904.—MARTIN WILLIAM
HAENKE, of Greenham Chambers, Nicholas Street, Ipswich,
Queensland, Australia, Architect. Improvements in ap-
paratus for lighting and extinguishing gaslights controlled
by the gas-pressure.

Claims.—(1.) In improvements in apparatus for lighting
and extinguishing gaslights controlled by the gas-pressure, a
metal casing with internal walls forming an annulus for the
reception of mercury in combination with a main supply-
pipe such as C, and delivery-pipes such as E, P, and R, as
described, and illustrated by drawings. (2.) In improve-
ments in apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gaslights
controlled by the gas-pressure, a bell such as F enclosed
within a casing and mounted upon a vertical spindle such as
G, adapted to rise and fall in a mercury seal in combination
with an axle such as L rotating upon centres; springs such
as J and Q engaging with disc such as K on said axle; pin
such as M for supporting small bell such as N, as described,
and illustrated by drawings. (3.) The general arrangement
and combination of parts as described, and illustrated by
drawings.
(Specification, 3s. 9d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18684.—1st November, 1904.—GEORGE HAMILTON FRY,
of Ashburton, New Zealand, Constable. Improved means
for locking a bicycle when not in use.

Extract from Specification.—When the lock is rendered
operable by bringing into line the combination of numbers
upon the collars 6, of which three are employed herein, and
shown to illustrate my invention, the sleeve 2 is slid along
the tube 1 until it comes against the stop 3. The longi-
tudinal motion of the sleeve is converted into a rotary motion
of the vertical pin 11, through the rack 9 and pinion 10. At
the same time the pinion 12 will be rotated, and the bolts 13
and 14 caused to be shot through the pinion 12, meshing in
the bolt racks. The bicycle will now be locked, and, if the
numeral combination is lost, by revolving the collars on the
sleeve it will remain locked until some one who is acquainted
with the combination rearranges it and slides back the
sleeve. When the bolts have been shot the bicycle cannot be
ridden or steered, as the lower bolt will be in engagement
with the crank spindle, and the other bolt will have passed
through the steering-tube 17. In order to prevent dust inter-
fering with the exterior rack and pinion, a plate may be
placed over it and screwed down in the holes 25. For this
purpose the rack 9 and a portion 26 of the sleeve is recessed,
so that when a plate 28 (Fig. 1) is placed over the parts it
will be flush with the sleeve. The pinion 10 is prevented
from coming off the pin 11 by a screw 27 threaded into the
head of the pin.

place of the claims.]

No. 18685.—2nd November, 1904.—ARTHUR HENRY
TINKHAM, of Stronvar, Masterton, Wellington, New Zealand,
Farmer. An improvement relating to ear-punches.

Claim.—In an ear-punch, the employment of a hollow
punch upon one arm and a blank of soft metal in the
opposing arm, substantially as and for the purposes specified
and illustrated.
(Specification, 1s. 6d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18699.—3rd November, 1904.—ALEXANDER MATHE-
SON, of 234, Flinders Lane, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia,
Manufacturers’ Agent. Improvements in postal wrappers
and the like, specially applicable in connection with post-
cards.

Claims.—(1.) A postal wrapper, having a back to cover
the enclosure-back, and a front having covering-margins and
an aperture of the character aforesaid, substantially as de-
scribed. (2.) A postal wrapper, having a back to cover the
enclosure-back, a front having covering margins or strips all
round, and an aperture within which shall be located the
address, the postage-stamp, and the postal marking areas,
substantially as described. (3.) A postal wrapper having a
back to cover the enclosure and the front pockets and aper-
ture, substantially as described. (4.) A postal wrapper con-
structed substantially as illustrated in Fig. 4, and described.
(5.) A postal wrapper constructed substantially as illustrated
in Fig. 6, and described.
