[No. 38

No. 19216.—18th March, 1905.—WILLIAM TAYLOR, of the firm of Taylor Bros., Midland Foundry, Sandiacre, Derby, England, Engineer. Improvements in or relating to means or appliances for operating railway and tramway points and the like.

Extract from Specification.—The action of my invention is as follows: If the weighted handle A be left in a central or upright position—either intentionally or by accident—as shown in the drawings, the flange of the leading wheel of any locomotive, carriage, or other railway or tramway car passing along the rail R would depress the “tappet” K, which will cause the tappet-rod C and horizontal controlling-pin F to partially rotate in their bearings; the weighted handle A will by this means then be thrown over to one side of the pocket N in lever B, and the momentum thus given to the moving weight W will cause the handle A to travel to the full extremity of the slot T, and thereby fully open or close one side or the other of the switch or point rails attached to the lever B by joint E¹ and rod E. By this means it will be impossible for the handle A to remain in an upright central position with the switches or points partially open—the cause of so many derailments of trains and the like.

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

No. 19235.—22nd March, 1905.—GEORGE BARNES, of 83, Barry Street, North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Inventor. Improvements in curtain-suspenders.

Claims.—(1.) An improved curtain-suspender characterized by a pair of pivotally attached armatures, each armature having at or near its top end a bracket pivotally attached thereto, said brackets being adapted to support a cross-piece or cross-pieces, substantially as described, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) In an improved curtain-suspender, a pair of pivotally attached armatures having pivotally attached brackets at or near their top ends, in combination with a cross-piece or cross-pieces for the purpose of carrying curtains, substantially as described, and as illustrated in the drawings.
(Specification, 2s. 3d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 19238.—22nd March, 1905.—WILLIAM HENRY WINGFIELD, of Boort, Victoria, Australia, Storekeeper, and JOHN BALDING, of Boort aforesaid, Miller. Improvements in cases and devices for holding and disintegrating tobacco and other substances.

Extract from Specification.—Our invention comprises an upper and a lower member—a set of abrading-pins being studded upon the base of the lower member, and another set of abrading-pins studded upon the inside under surface of the upper member thereof, the pins pointing in opposite directions.

No. 19239.—23rd March, 1905.—PHILIP LE SUEUR, of Calabasas, Los Angeles, California, United States of America, Farmer. Lubricating-device for vehicle-axles.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to a new and useful construction of vehicle-axles, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide means whereby the lubricating composition may be supplied to the axle without removing the wheel from the axle, and without removing the retaining bolt or outside hollow nut or other part, the construction being so designed that, while accomplishing the foregoing, the wheel may be as easily removed as when the vehicle-axle is ordinarily constructed. Another object of my invention is to provide a form of vehicle-axle having two lubricant chambers, the outer chamber connected with the inner chamber in such a manner that when the wagon is in motion the lubricant flows freely from the outer chamber to the inner chamber in which the axle works, yet when the vehicle is standing still the passage of lubricant between the chambers may be caused to cease, and the lubricant retained indefinitely in the outer chamber ready for instant automatic application to the axle. Another object of my invention is to provide a cheap and effective spring-acted device which slidingly closes the orifice by which lubricant is introduced into the outer chamber, and which device may be worked without the aid of a wrench or other tool, and yet perfectly retains the lubricant and positively excludes all dust. Another object of my invention is to provide a method whereby solid lubricant may be sup-

plied under pressure to the portion of the axle which receives the most wear and the heaviest traction, and which in practice invariably runs dry long before the other portion of the axle.

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