No. 20262.—1st November, 1905.—GRANVILLE WILLIAM
JOHN WHITE, of Belmore Road, Ryde, New South Wales,
Australia, Engineer. Improvements relating to exhaust-
steam superheaters.

Extract from Specification.—In the general disposition
of its parts provision is made for the interposition between
divided portions of the exhaust-pipe of a steam-diffusion
chamber. The base plate of such chamber carries the inlet
portion, and the crown plate the outlet portion, of the divided
exhaust pipe or pipes. The crown plate is also pierced to
receive any desired number of tubes which encircle the proxi-
mate part of the exhaust-pipe. It is through these tubes, as
well as the centrally situated outlet pipe, that the steam
passes after its diffusion within the chamber. These parts
are wholly enclosed with an outer casing supported upon
and attached to a bottom flange or foundation plate. Such
flange likewise supports the inlet portion of the divided
exhaust-pipe; it also forms the bottom of a sediment-
chamber, which is separated from the main circulating part
of the heater by the diffusion-chamber, a diminished annular
space connecting the two parts. The casing is provided with
a removable cover pierced to receive the upwardly project-
ing tubes and exhaust-pipe, and may be secured with the
clamping-nuts fixed upon the ends of the tubes, or separate
bolts may be provided for the purpose. The clamping-nuts
of the tubes are constructed to allow the free exit of the
steam, the outlet-orifice being shaped to any suitable design
to direct or divert the flow of the escaping steam as may be
desired. Inlet and outlet connections are provided for fill-
ing, circulating, discharging, and cleansing the superheater.
At any suitable part of the casing a gauge-glass is fixed,
adapted to enclose a thermometer to ascertain the tempera-
ture of the heated water.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.]

No. 20263.—1st November, 1905.—ERIC GUSTAF ADOLF
BRATTSTROM, of No. 31, Queen Street, Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia, Manager (nominee of Aktiebolaget Lux, of 3,
Fabriksgrand, Stockholm, Sweden—assignees of Sven Carl-
son, of Valhallavagen 93, Stockholm aforesaid, Doctor of
Philosophy). Improvements relating to petroleum and like
lamps.

Claims.—(1.) An improved spirit-igniter for petroleum-
lamps, consisting of at least two annular cups or troughs
arranged around the vaporising-tube, and superposed one
above the others so that the spirit from an upper cup or
trough can be caught by one underneath, for the purpose of
affording a large surface of combustion to the spirit and
thus attaining a rapid heating of the vaporiser so that
the lamp can be quickly lighted, substantially as de-
scribed. (2.) An improved spirit-igniter consisting of two
annular cups or troughs around the vaporising-tube and a
perforated partition surrounding the vaporiser between the
two cups or troughs, said partition forming support for a
number of wicks or other porous material, or being itself
made of some such material, adapted to absorb a portion of
the spirit flowing down from the upper trough, and on igni-
tion increase the combustion surface of the burning spirit,
thus hastening the heating of the vaporiser, substantially as
described.
(Specification, 3s. 3d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 20266.—30th October, 1905.—JOHN MCCARTHY, of
Auckland, New Zealand, Carpenter. An improved easy and
folding chair.

Claim.—The combination in the improved easy and folding
chair specified of the legs crossed and held together by the
pins, bars, and rod stated, the back frame extending upwardly
from the back tops of two of said legs, connected by pins,
nuts, and bars, the leg-rest connected to and extending down-
wardly from the front tops of the other two of said legs, the
batten-support fitted to said leg-rest, foot-rest hinged to said
batten-support, coiled spring fitted to both batten-support and
foot-rest, hooks and pins for holding said foot-rest extended out
from said leg-rest, arm-rests connecting said back frame to
tops of said leg-rest, and carpet or canvas stretched from bar
at top of said back frame round other said bars to front bar
connecting front tops of the other two of said legs, for the
purpose set forth, substantially as described and illustrated.

No. 20280.—6th November, 1905.—JOHN O’NEIL, of
Colombo Street, Christchurch, New Zealand, Hotelkeeper.
Improvements in and relating to windmills.

Extract from Specification.—According hereto the wind-
mill is mounted upon a horizontal shaft which has an adjust-
able thrust-screw fitting into its end opposite to the wheel,
and which is mounted in bearings provided with oil-wells.
Chains or rings carried in recesses upon the shaft depend
into the oil-vessels, and as the shaft revolves deliver oil to the
bearings. A bevel pinion upon this spindle gears with a bevel
wheel fixed upon the end of a vertical shaft, which is con-
nected by gearing to a horizontal shaft carrying a crank-disco,
the crank-pin of which is connected to a rod actuating the
pump-plunger. The bearings of the wheel-shaft are fixed
upon a table which is revolvable upon ball bearings, and a
column fixed to and revolving the table has at its lower end
guide-rods upon which work a flange integral with a sleeve
sliding upon the vertical spindle referred to, said sleeve being
operated vertically by a fork. To this sleeve is connected a
rope, preferably of wire, which passes over pulleys and is
fastened to the tail of the mill so that the wheel may be
drawn out of the wind when desired. A curved guide-rod
passing through a hole in the table has a spring threaded
upon it at each end to provide a buffer when the tail is blown
round by a keen gust of wind.

in place of the claims.]
