No. 20190.—19th October, 1905.—ALEXANDER HOUSEMAN, of Charlestown, near Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, Carpenter. Improved closure for bottles to contain liquid under pressure.

Extract from Specification.—An improved closure for bottles to contain liquid under pressure consists of a cap or capsule secure over the mouth and on the neck of the bottle so as to make a gastight joint thereon and so that a valve may also make a tight joint against the internal bottom of the neck, and so that a pipe or spout passing this said cap or capsule is adapted to open said valve by pressure thereon regulated by an external thumb-piece.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 3s. 6d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 20194.—17th October, 1905.—WILLIAM KENNEDY, of Sheffield, Canterbury, New Zealand, Farmer. A mixture for treating turnip and other seeds to preserve the plants from the attacks of insects.

No. 20200.—16th October, 1905.—WILLIAM MORTON, Mechanical Engineer, and JOHN HERCUS, Commission Agent, both of Dunedin, New Zealand. Improved double-hung ventilating-sashes forming casements for ventilation or cleaning.

Extract from Specification.—We hinge each of the sashes, the top and also the bottom one, to sliding strips, to which the balance-weights are secured. These sliding pieces are about the length of each sash to which they are hinged, and they are rebated or dovetailed in section for the purpose of keeping in position and so holding the sashes in their position also. As sashes these sashes move up and down freely in a similar manner, but may be instantly secured in any position (as shut or slightly open, &c.) by a clipping-device actuating each. When desired, the bead opposite to the hinges on which said sashes are hung can readily be removed, and the bottom sash can then open inwards like a casement.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 20204.—17th October, 1905.—ALEXANDER WORSFOLD, of Ultimo Road, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Manufacturer. Improved movable seat appliances for dog-carts, gigs, and suchlike vehicles, which appliances can also be used for other analogous purposes.

Extracts from Specification.—A is the seat, which is provided underneath with four bracket pieces, BB, that carry anti-friction rollers C on vertical axes . . . When the seat is to be shifted, the small handle J, Fig. 1, is slightly raised; this will operate the connecting-rods j, j', and draw the bolt F towards itself, withdrawing the projection f' of the bolt F from one of the notches H in the vertical members d of the angle irons; the seat may then be slid forward or backward as required; the handle J will then be released, and the projection f' will engage with the nearest of the notches H. The part f of the bolt F is the part that slides over the lip E, the head of the bolt f' sliding in the groove e in the base plate B'. The part f being recessed, the traverse of the bolt is limited to the length of the recess. Other parts of the apparatus, which it is not necessary to signalise, may be provided with studs, stops, or recesses, to limit the play of the seat or of any of the appliances in either direction.

[NOTE.—The above extracts from the specification are inserted in place of the claims.]
