No. 18861.—13th December, 1904.—THE LAMP-MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LIMITED, of 10–14, Leonard Street, City Road, London, England, Manufacturers (assignees of William Henry Isaac Welch, of 33, Lichfield Road, Bow, London, England, Gas Engineer). Improvements in oil-lamps for railway signals and other purposes.

Extract from Specification.—“To effect these objects the burner is designed to give a small flame, and the light therefrom is directed by specially shaped and disposed lenses in the required direction or directions, the air for combustion being led into the interior of the lamp in such manner that it is distributed therein without directly impinging on the flame, thereby enabling a small flame to be used. An auxiliary wick, which may lead to the oil-reservoir or may derive oil from the burner-wick, is coiled around the upper perforated part of the burner-tube, and serves to keep the wick cool and prevent or retard charring, and also, acting as a storage chamber, continues to provide oil for combustion when the burner-wick is unable, on account of charring, to supply the oil required to maintain the light.”

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

No. 18885.—22nd December, 1904.—EDWIN RICHARD SMITH, of 50, Broadway, Buffalo, New York, United States of America, Manufacturer. Improvements in shaft-bearings.

In a shaft-bearing, the combination with a support and an upright shaft, of an adjustable stop mounted on the shaft above said support, a bearing surrounding the shaft between said support and said adjustable stop, and including rolling anti-friction members, whereby the shaft is sustained by said bearing, and a lifting-device independent of said bearing acting on the shaft, whereby the shaft with its stop can be raised independently of said bearing and the stop then lowered to rest upon the bearing and support the shaft. (2.) In a shaft-bearing, the combination with a support and an upright shaft, of bearing-discs loosely surrounding said shaft, the lower disc being sustained by said support, rolling anti-friction members interposed between said discs, a stop-collar adjustably secured to the shaft and resting upon the upper bearing-disc, and a lifting-device independent of said bearing-members acting on the lower end of the shaft. (3.) In a shaft-bearing, the combination with a support and a depending socket located on the under-side thereof, of an upright shaft passing through said support and having its lower end arranged in said socket, bearing-discs loosely surrounding said shaft, the lower disc being sustained by said support, rolling anti-friction members interposed between said discs, a collar adjustably secured to the shaft and resting upon the upper bearing-disc, and a lifting-screw independent of said bearing-members passing through the bottom of said socket and acting on the lower end of the shaft.

No. 18906.—29th December, 1904.—RODERICK MCKENZIE McLENNAN, of Littlebourne, Dunedin, New Zealand, Shipping Clerk. Improvements in calendars.

Extract from Specification.—There is an arrangement whereby the calendar for any year past or to come may be obtained by the manipulation of a sliding plate carrying day numbers arranged in a particular way behind apertures arranged also in a particular way, combined with the use of the well-known dominical letters. For the purpose of arriving at the dominical letter for the year required, the years are arranged in columns under the dominical letter to which they belong after calculation in the ordinary way, with a special provision for leap year by repeating such year in two successive columns. There is a universal time indicator, which may be used in combination with this calendar, consisting of clock markings round a circular opening behind which a circular piece rotates. This circular piece is graduated on its rim for longitude, and has an index hand or pointer fixed thereto or drawn thereon on the longitude of the place where the calendar is to be used. Consequently when this index hand is set to the time of such place the corresponding time of any place of which the longitude is known can be ascertained by inspection. Combined with the two previously described arrangements may be a day calendar of any suitable type adapted to show day, month, and date, and a timepiece may also be combined therewith.

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