No. 18948.—12th January, 1905.—JAMES PALMER CAMPBELL, of No. 15, Featherston Street, Wellington, New Zealand, Solicitor (nominee of William Maple Bradshaw, of 400, Whitney Avenue, Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, United States of America, Electrical Engineer). Improvements in bearings for shafts.

Claims.—(1.) A bearing for vertical shafts, comprising a tubular extension secured in a recess in the upper end of the shaft and a bearing-pin projecting into said extension, substantially as described. (2.) The means for lubricating a shaft-bearing of the kind described, consisting of an absorbent material saturated with a suitable lubricant in the shaft below the tubular extension, substantially as and for the purpose specified. (3.) A shaft-bearing constructed as described and shown in the drawing, either with or without the pinion for communicating motion from the shaft to a train of wheels.
(Specification, 2s.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18957.—13th January, 1905. — HAPGOOD PLOW COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois, United States of America, and located and doing business at Alton, in the said State (assignees of Josiah Simpson Tuttle, of Kansas City, Missouri, United States of America, Manufacturer). Wheel-swings.

Claims.—(1.) Wheel-swing characterized in this, that a frame (9) having wheels (8) movable on trackways (5, 14) of a stationary frame (1) supports a third frame (11) carrying the seats (13), so that the first (9) and the third frame (11) will move in the same direction, but the latter one with the double speed of the first one, by the impulse of a force which tries to separate these two frames. (2.) Executive form of the swing as per claim 1, characterized in this, that the seat-carrying frame (11) projects at all sides of the wheel-provided frame (9). (3.) Executive form of the swing as per claim 1, characterized in this, that the trackways for the wheels are made of concave rails (5, 14) for the purpose of producing a smooth movement of the swing and the automatic return of the swing to its central position.
(Specification, 6s.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18958.—13th January, 1905.—CHARLES HENRY HUFF, of 105, Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, Financier (assignee of Charles Henry Huff, Financier, Greenleaf Whittier Pickard, Electrician, and Philip Henry Wynne, Electrician, all of 105, Federal Street aforesaid). Method and apparatus for electrostatic separation.

Extract from Specification.—This invention consists first: In the application of rapidly and emphatically varied potential to the electrodes of a separating or concentrating machine, preferably characterized by the intermission of relatively long intervals of feeble potential excitation or no excitation between the successive accessions or impacts of potential at the electrodes. Second: In the employment of electrical apparatus in connection with such electrodes whereby the potential generated by a source of electricity and having a normal characteristic phase curve is eliminated or excluded from the electrodes except for a selected portion of said potential, represented by an included fraction of the normal characteristic phase curve, whereby the material under treatment is subjected to a series of static charges which may be so brief and emphatic as to be described as “percussive”; and third: In the construction and arrangement of separator electrodes and their immediately associated apparatus, which construction is specially suited to the electrical conditions described under the first and second heads aforesaid.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 12s.; drawing, 2s.)

No. 18959.—13th January, 1905.—CHAMPION SEAL COMPANY, a New York corporation, of 310, Hudson Street, New York City, United States of America (assignees of Edward Daniel Schmitt, of 362, Union Street, Brooklyn, New York City aforesaid). Machine for applying seals to bottles.

Extract from Specification.—This invention provides that the plunger that compresses the sealing-discs against the sealing-seats shall be divided into sectors or segments, say six, each of which is backed by a spring and capable of yielding axially so that the ends of the several sections, while normally in the same plane, can yield axially (vertically) so that the plunger as a whole adapts itself to variations of height of the sealing-seat, and effects substantially uniform compression of the sealing-disc against all parts thereof.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 6s. 6d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18960.—27th January, 1904.—JAMES ROBINSON HARTMAKER, of No. 25, Rue de la Faisanderie, Paris, France, Gentleman (assignee of William Seagrove Magill, of No. 5, Sommerstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Doctor of Medicine). Improvements in dry milk and in process of obtaining same.
[NOTE.—This is an application under section 106 of the Act, the date given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Claims.—(1.) The described dry milk, obtained by drying liquid milk prepared for drying by having been brought into the condition with respect to its acidity specified. (2.) The described dry milk, obtained by drying rapidly, by exposing in a thin film to a temperature in excess of 212° F., natural milk that has been reduced in acidity to approximately the degree of acidity specified. (3.) The described process of obtaining dry milk of the solubility described from natural milk, which consists in determining the acidity of such natural milk, and in reducing such acidity to approximately the degree specified and in then drying such milk. (4.) The described process of obtaining from natural milk dry milk, from which liquid milk of practically natural solubility can be reconstituted by adding hot water, which process consists in reducing the acidity of such natural milk to substantially three degrees of the standard specified, and in then drying such milk rapidly by exposing it in a thin film to a temperature in excess of 212° F. (5.) The described process of producing dry milk of uniform quality from liquid milks of different acidities, which consists in determining the acidities of such milks, and in reducing such acidities to a uniform degree and in then drying such milks. (6.) The described process of obtaining dry milk of the solubility described in the foregoing specification from natural milks of different acidities, which consists in reducing the acidities of such milks to approximately three degrees of the standard specified, and in then drying them.
