No. 20082.—13th September, 1905.—ROBERT MILLAR, of Outram, New Zealand, Inventor. Improved spraying apparatus.

Claims.—(1.) In a portable spraying-machine, the combination of a compressed-air chamber with the receptacle for holding the spraying-fluid, these being connected by a pipe and tap admitting the compressed air at the bottom of the spraying-liquid to keep same agitated, with a valve to prevent the return of said liquid to said air-chamber, all substantially as set forth, and as shown on the drawing. (2.) In a portable spraying apparatus, in combination, a spring air-pump worked preferably by foot, thus freeing both hands, forcing air to the receptacle for spraying-liquid or to the supplementary air-reservoir, afterwards to be delivered to the said spraying-liquid under same for assisting agitation, with an automatic valve when needed to prevent the return of the spraying-liquid to the air pump or chamber, all substantially as set forth and described and explained. (3.)

No. 20088.—25th September, 1905.—REGINALD BAYLEY, of New Plymouth, New Zealand, Draughtsman. An improvement to be fastened on to the sole of any boot or shoe.

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out my invention I cut out from thin plates of any metal pieces of the shapes shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The sides B, B, denoted by dotted lines in Fig. 1 are then turned over, as shown at B, B (Fig. 3). I then turn up the arm D (Fig. 3) at a right angle at the dotted line A, A (Fig. 3). I then punch four or more small holes at C, C, C, C (Fig. 3). I then turn up the arm E (Fig. 6) at a right angle at the dotted lines F, F (Fig. 6), and punch a small hole at G (Fig. 6). The squares marked in Figs. 3 and 6 represent where the metal is punched down to simulate the heads of large nails. To use the improvement slip Fig. 6 into Fig. 3 and under the sides marked B, B, and slide it in until the improvement fits close to the sides of the sole of the boot or shoe; a small flat-headed peg of metal is then dropped through the hole marked G (Fig. 6) into one of the holes marked C, C, C, C (Fig. 3), and which prevents the improvement (Figs. 3 and 6) from being pulled apart.

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