No. 20222.—25th October, 1905.—JOHN SMYTH GRIBBON,
of Lima East, Benalla, Victoria, Australia, Carpenter, and
JAMES MCKEAN, of Benalla aforesaid, Farmer. Improvements in sash-supports and the like.

Claims.—(1.) In a sliding window-sash support or the like,
a base plate having upon it a bar spring carrying a roller so
projecting that the leverage of the base plate as described to
locate and fix it to the sash or the like puts the desired
pressure on the roller and the spring as indicated. (2.) In a
sliding window-sash support or the like, a base plate having
upon it a bar spring carrying a roller so projecting that the
leverage of the base plate as described to locate and fix it to
the sash or the like puts pressure on the roller and the
spring as indicated, the base plate having a thumb-screw or
means to bear on the spring and increase its pressure from
time to time more or less as required. (3.) In a sliding
window-sash support or the like, a base plate having a bar
spring, with a roller on the spring so located that the fixing
of the base plate puts the roller and spring under pressure,
shrouded teeth or the like in the roller, and a pawl or means
adapted to allow the roller to revolve in one direction and
prevent its revolution in the other, as set forth. (4.) In a
sliding window sash support or the like, an eccentrically
mounted roller or the like at the free end of a bar spring so
fixed relatively to a base plate that leverage may be applied

No. 20248.—30th October, 1905.—GEORGE CORNELIUS DE
WITT, of No. 10, Parliament Place, Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia, Metallurgist. An improved process for the treat-
ment of antimonial and other refractory ores.

Extract from Specification.—My invention consists in
mixing the finely ground ore, concentrates, or tailings with
a sufficient proportion of finely ground charcoal, coke, coal,
or other carbonaceous matter, and subjecting the mixture
to a roasting operation in the presence of air, and collecting
the oxide of antimony and other fume which is distilled off,
and treating the residues for gold, silver, and other precious
metals. Furthermore, the fume in its passage from the
roasting-furnace to the condensers may be further subjected
to an additional roasting operation in the presence of air for
the completion of the oxidization of any particles of ore
carried over in an unroasted or partially roasted condition,
and also for the elimination of any impurities such as
sulphur, charcoal, coke, &c.

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

described, attachable to telephone or like transmitters, a
member A having gauzes or perforated parts such as O, E,
and F therein, substantially as and for the purposes set
forth. (4.) In a device such as described, attachable to tele-
phone or like transmitters, vents such as G formed in the
member A or parts connected therewith, for the purpose of
allowing for the escape of the air and sound disturbances, so
that in speaking through the said device the sounds are con-
veyed to the transmitter clear and distinct. (5.) In a device
such as described, attachable to telephone or like transmit-
ters, a mouthpiece such as B adapted to fit closely over the
mouth of the speaker, and having suitable vents formed
therein to provide an outlet for the expanded air and allow
for free breathing whilst conversing, substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
