No. 19467.—15th May, 1905.—GEORGE HENRY WALLACE, of Brunswick Street, New Farm, Electrician, and WILLIAM HENRY LOWTHEN, of Noble Estate, Clayfield, Mechanician, both of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Improved means for issuing and recording the issue of tickets.

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out our invention, as applicable to racecourses, we provide at suitable points on or near the racecourse ticket-issuing or branch offices so that any ticket on any horse in each race may be obtained without going round to the totalisator-house. We fit in each branch office a number of sets of ticket-issuing machines, each set, which represents a different horse, being so constructed that it will issue tickets of different values, such as a 10s. ticket, a 50s. ticket (= five 10s. tickets), or a £5 ticket (= ten 10s. tickets). Each of the ticket-issuing machines is electrically connected to a ball-releasing device in the totalisator-house, so that when a ticket is sold at any branch a ball is released that is used to record the total on the horse or minor total, and afterwards on the grand or major total. Counters are also electrically connected with the ticket-issuing machine in order that records may be kept of the number of tickets issued in each branch office. Telephonic communication is provided between the totalisator-house and the branches.

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

No. 19472.—15th May, 1905.—DAVID ANDERSON, of Ashdale, Satanita Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, England, Engineer. Improvements in or relating to burners for incandescent gas-lighting.

Claims.—(1.) An anti-vibration burner for incandescent lighting consisting of a head or part for receiving the burner separated from but supplied with gas by a fixed jet part, and symmetrically supported by three or more compact springs, said springs acting both by their axial and transverse resiliency to absorb both vertical vibrations and lateral vibrations in various directions, substantially as described. (2.) In an incandescent gas-burner which is flexibly connected to the frame and has no gastight connection between the burner and the gaspipe, three or more spiral springs having the axes disposed in the same horizontal plane at the base of the burner, substantially as described. (3.) In incandescent gas-burners as claimed in the claims, arranging the spiral springs to screw into or over their supports, substantially as described. (4.) The improved anti-vibration burners described with reference to the drawings. (5.) The employment of the means described for applying my invention claimed to the different types of incandescent burners.

No. 19525.—29th May, 1905.—THOMAS BALLINGER, of 32, Victoria Street, Wellington, New Zealand, and WILLIAM MILLIGAN, of Barker Street, Wellington, New Zealand, Plumbers. An improved spouting-bracket.

Extract from Specification.—According hereto a bracket is made of galvanised hoop-iron, doubled upon itself, and with an eye wherein a hook is pivoted. The doubled hoop-iron is bent to correspond to the contour of the spouting, a rivet passing through the bottom of the bracket securing the two thicknesses of hoop-iron together. One end of the hoop-iron is turned downwards and secured to the building by a screw; the other end is turned upwards, and at its extremity is bent upon itself to form an eye, wherein a hooked stay-bar is pivoted. The stay-bar engages the hook to prevent spreading of the spouting.

No. 19527.—30th May, 1905.—JABEZ GIBSON TURTON, of Nos. 570–576, Bourke Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Secretary-Treasurer for the Massey-Harris Company, Limited, (nominee of Massey-Harris Company, Limited, of 915, King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers, assignees of Lyman Melvin Jones and Andrew Johnson, both of Toronto aforesaid). Improvements in cultivators and seeders.

Extract from Specification.—The invention relates particularly to cultivators and seeders of the type provided with a rectangular main frame, the rear cross-bar A of the frame being located close to and above the axle B. An L-shaped plate C is provided, the horizontal part of the L extending under the axle, and the vertical part up close to and behind the rear cross-bar A of the frame. Suitable clips D secure the horizontal part of the plate to the axle, and bolts E passing through suitable sleeves secure the vertical part of the plate to the rear cross-bar of the frame, with a slight space between the two sufficient to receive the lower end of the seat-standard F. Through the horizontal part of the plate below the axle is cut a rectangular hole or slot G. To the rear end of the tongue is secured a metal strap H, the end of which projects beyond the rear end of the tongue and is bent or jogged so that it might be passed through the rectangular hole in the plate, to lie with its front above the plate and its rear portion below and in contact with the rear part of the under-side of the plate. The rear part of the under-side of the plate has a lug or tit I formed thereon, adapted to enter a hole in the rear end of the strap connected with the tongue. Of course, the tit might be formed on or secured to the upper side of the front part of the plate, but it is best located in the position shown and described, as greater strength and neatness is thus obtained. . . . The second part of the invention relates particularly to the means of connecting the bent spring cultivator teeth J to the frame K of the cultivator section. The invention is particularly adapted to that type of cultivator section or frame provided with pairs of horizontal angle cross-bars LL¹ to which the spring teeth are connected. A tooth-seat M fits on top of the cross-bars, and a saddle N underneath, and these are connected by a suitable clip O passing through the space between the cross-bars. The tooth-seat has transverse corrugations P formed on it, which engage a rib or lug Q formed on the end of the spring tooth, which passes over the seat M and under the clip.

No. 19530.—30th May, 1905.—JOHN KERWIN STEWART, of Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, Manufacturer. Combined motor and power-transmitting mechanism.

Claims.—(1.) A combined motor and power-transmitting device which comprises an expansive fluid motor, a frame which is mounted on the motor-frame and which consists of an upwardly extending arm and a gibbet arm which extends off horizontally therefrom, a power-communicating shaft journalled on the gibbet arm, and power-communicating connections from the motor shaft to such power-communicating shaft. (2.) A combined motor and power-transmitting mechanism which comprises an explosive motor, a frame which is mounted rigidly on the frame of the motor and which consists of upstanding arms, power-transmitting devices which are mounted on such frame, and power-transmitting connections from the motor shaft to such devices, the motor having a muffler which encompasses one of the upstanding arms and is connected to the exhaust of the motor. (3.) In a structure of the character and for the purpose indicated, the means for rigidly securing the gibbet arm to the upright arm comprising a bolt set through the gibbet arm in a bore which intrudes into the seat of the upright arm in the gibbet arm, the bolt being recessed at one side to accommodate the upright arm in said seat, and a nut on the bolt for forcing it longitudinally.
