No. 18871.—16th December, 1904.—ARCHIBALD MCDONALD, Farmer, and SAMUEL RICHARD STEDMAN, Engineer, both of Dunedin, New Zealand. An improved sediment-trap strainer.*

Claims.—(1.) In a liquid-strainer, in combination, the body and well formed to hold the straining-gauze upright, with a convex cover allowing sediment to get to said well between it and the sides of said well, all substantially as shown on the drawing and as described and explained. (2.) In a liquid-strainer, in combination, a receptacle ending in a well at its lower part which is provided with a plug, with a plain convex cover on legs which also keep it centrally in position, allowing sediment to fall between it and the sides of the said well, said cover being about the height of the bottom edges of the upright straining-meshes, and a movable strainer for catching the lighter particles, all substantially as set forth. (3.) In a liquid-strainer, in combination, a loose false bottom for receiving the sediment with a movable screening-mesh, all substantially as shown on the drawing and as set forth.

No. 18879.—20th December, 1904.—EDWARD THOMAS POLLARD, of 9, Hereford Mansions, Hereford Road, Bayswater, London, England, Engineer. Improvements in and relating to fluid-pressure turbines.*

Extract from Specification.—According to the invention a series of movable rings are provided alternating with a series of stationary rings, in which respective rings corresponding ports are provided of such a shape that the steam or other elastic fluid is guided from the ports in the stationary rings to act upon the ports in the moving rings, the shape and disposition moreover being such that the respective ports are alternately opened and cut off on the rotation of the moving rings, so that thus the ports on three consecutive rings are never in communication at one time, and thus the steam in the port of any ring cannot escape into a port of the next ring until communication with the port of the preceding ring is cut off. By such means the steam has an abutment against each stationary ring from which it can react. According to the invention, moreover, the number of ports in the first ring is exceeded by the number of successive rings, so that the steam or other elastic fluid which operates with full pressure upon the first movable ring shall operate at reduced pressure through a greater number of ports in the succeeding rings. According to the invention, moreover, the depth of the ports is progressively increased, while the width of the ports remains the same. Furthermore, according to the invention projections or flanges are provided upon the moving rings, or upon the stationary rings, or upon the casing in which corresponding grooves or projections of the casing or of the rings fit, so as thus to prevent leakage of the steam.
[The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 18925.—9th January, 1905.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, State of New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of said State of New Jersey, and having a place of business at 205, Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignees of Marshall Henry Pearson and Arthur Ernest Jerram, both of Union Works, Belgrave Road, Leicester, England, Engineers). Improvements in or relating to apparatus for assorting and delivering eyelets or rivets or other articles of like form.*

[NOTE.—The title in this case has been altered. (See list of provisional specifications, Gazette, No. 6, of the 26th January, 1905.)]

Claims.—(1.) In mechanism for assorting eyelets or articles of like external form, a movable article-supporting member the acting surface of which moves in or approximately in the plane or planes of said surface for the purpose of causing indiscriminately positioned articles to assume like positions upon the surface with or without an assorting or gauging device for the articles. (2.) In mechanism for delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination of an assorting or gauging apparatus and a delivery-device which generates frictionally a centrifugal tendency in the articles placed upon it. (3.) In mechanism for assorting eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination with an article-assorting or -gauging device of a relatively movable article-supporting member the acting surface of which moves in or approximately in the plane or planes of said surface for the purpose of frictionally generating in the articles a centrifugal tendency. (4.) In mechanism for delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, a delivery-device which generates frictionally a centrifugal tendency in the articles placed upon it, and possesses as to one portion of its delivering-surface a high and as to another portion a low coefficient of friction, for the purpose described. (5.) In mechanism for assorting eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination with an article-container provided with a delivery slot or aperture restricted sufficiently to obstruct the passage of articles otherwise than laterally to their least over-all dimension of means to further separate articles delivered from the container in one position from those delivered otherwise. (6.) In mechanism for arranging and delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination of a container, a frictional delivery-device therein, and a stationary wall with an assorting passage so situated that the delivery-device affords a floor to said passage, and with or without a bar (for example, A¹) adjustable at the top of the passage to vary the height thereof. (7.) In mechanism for arranging and delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination with a raceway of a guide at one side or face thereof to engage the flanges of such of said articles as are wrongly presented towards that side and divert them out of the raceway. (8.) In mechanism for arranging and delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the guide-rails C⁵, C⁶, C⁷, C⁸ arranged and operating substantially as described, or as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings. (9.) In mechanism for arranging and delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination with a container, assorting-means, and means to eject from the mechanism wrongly positioned articles of means to return said articles to the container. (10.) In an eyeleting or analogous machine comprising a container and assorting mechanism, the combination with means to eject from the machine wrongly positioned eyelets or articles of like external form of means operated by an intermittently operated portion of the machine, such as the work-presser pedal gear to return said articles to the container. (11.) In mechanism for arranging and delivering eyelets or articles of like external form, the combination with a container and a guide to eject wrongly positioned articles from the mechanism of a pocket normally positioned to receive said articles when ejected, and means to raise said pocket and thereby return the articles to the container. (12.) The delivering and assorting mechanism substantially as described, or as illustrated in Figs, 1, 2, and 3, or in Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the drawings.
