No. 19840.—5th August, 1905.—HILARY QUERTIER, of
Wood’s Hotel, Dunedin, New Zealand, Engineer. Improved
non-reversing two-way trolley-pole for electrical traction.*

Extract from Specification.—According hereto a bracket
fixed upon the roof of the vehicle has spring-horns extending
in opposite directions parallel with the overhead wire, and a
jaw, which may have a spring connection with said bracket,
has pivoted within it the end of a vertical stem fitting teles-
copically within a tubular rod, upon the upper end of which
is journalled the trolley-wheel. A spring is threaded upon
the vertical stem between the underside of the said tubular
rod and lock-nuts or a gland upon the stem whereby the
tubular rod is projected upwards under pressure, which may
be readily adjusted. The tubular rod has a bracket upon it
with opposing jaws, to each of which is pivotally connected
a stay-rod passing through one of the spring-horns referred
to, and having adjusting nuts. Each stay-rod has threaded
upon it a spiral spring arranged between the top of the spring-
horn and the underside of adjusting nuts carried upon a
screw-threaded portion of the stay-rod, by means of which the
pressure of said springs may be regulated.

No. 19845.—7th August, 1905.—CHARLES MILLER, of Alton
Street, Nelson, New Zealand, Photographer. Improved
electro-magnetic apparatus for playing games.*

Extract from Specification.—According hereto each player
is provided with a plurality of metal rings, discs, dice, or
articles of other shape capable of being magnetized. When
rings are employed they are suspended or otherwise carried
upon a horizontal arm, a sheet of glass, mica, celluloid,
or other smooth transparent or semi-transparent material
being arranged above each set of rings. By employment
of a permanent magnet each player removes the rings one
after the other from the arm by attracting it towards the
glass or other material employed, and then causes it to travel
by the same influence upon the under-surface of the glass
until it arrives immediately above a vertical peg, over which
it is the aim of the competitor to cause the ring the fall.

No. 19936.—25th August, 1905.—ALFRED ERNEST LOWE,
of Tai Tapu, Canterbury, New Zealand, Gardener. An im-
provement relating to flower-pots.*

Claim.—For the purpose indicated, the employment upon
the inner circumference of a pot adapted to contain flowers
and the like of a plate whereby a channel for water is formed,
substantially as specified and as illustrated in the drawing.
(Specification, 1s. 6d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 20054.—18th September, 1905.—JAMES DAWSON JACK-
SON, of No. 6 Burns Street, Prahran, near Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia, Plumber. Improvements in water-heaters.*

Extract from Specification.—The water-supply pipe pro-
jecting upwards in the centre of this cylindrical flue is pro-
vided with a special construction of nozzle, by which the
water is sprayed outwards in a very finely divided form.
This nozzle consists of a hemispherical or mushroom-shaped
distributor arranged above a small hole in the nozzle. At the
bottom of the flue is an annular channel formed by a conical
plate attached to the casing, within which the hot water is
collected. The outflow-pipe for the hot water from this
annular channel is water-sealed to prevent the gaseous pro-
ducts of combustion passing out with the hot water.

No. 20164.—12th October, 1905.—ALEXANDER GILLIES, of
69 Myers Street, Geelong, Victoria, Australia, Dairyman.
An improved mouthpiece for pneumatic teat-cups.*

Extract from Specification.—The mouthpiece is formed of a
substantially rigid substance, such as metal, having a hollow
chamber with openings on the under side in communication
with the suction in the cup and openings through its inner
periphery. The mouthpiece is detachable, and is secured to
the cup by means of a rubber cap or band.

No. 20727.—15th February, 1906.—NIELS ANDERS HAN-
SEN ABEL, of Gl Kongevej 100, Copenhagen, Denmark,
Carpenter. Improvements in or relating to apparatus for
use in hoisting and distributing building and other material.

Extract from Specification.—The invention in question re-
lates to a crane designed specially for the hoisting and dis-
tribution of building and other materials during the work
on building-grounds. By the construction of the crane it
is intended that the height of the distribution-bridge over
the ground during the course of the work can always be made
to suit the varying scaffolding-heights, and that the material
can easily be lifted from and removed to any place within
the building-ground, even if there are adjoining buildings
which limit the space of turning for the distribution-bridge.
To these ends the main body of the crane is constructed in
such a manner that it can be lengthened and shortened
during the work, and an elongating bridge is attached which
can be projected in necessary length from the main part of
the distribution-bridge, the swing-bridge, when the latter is
turned in the direction of the place to be reached, or at the
same time as this turning. Further, an automatic balancing
of the elongating bridge when in motion along the swing-
bridge, and of the weight during the hoisting and transport
of same along the elongating bridge, has been procured by
means of a special arrangement of a counterweight sliding
along the swing-bridge, and further on, for one thing, other
advantages which will appear from the detail description
have been gained by the arrangement of suitable connections
between the different parts of the crane.

No. 20803.—2nd March, 1906.—GEORGE KYME, of Dunedin,
New Zealand, Music-teacher. Means for use in transposing
music and for indicating the pitch of musical instruments.

Claim.—For the purpose indicated, suitable strips upon one
of which is tonic sol-fa notation, while upon the other is the

that the staff scale notation, said strips being adapted to slide
horizontally, substantially as specified and operating as
explained.

No. 20831.—8th March, 1906.—ROBERT COCKBURN, J.P.,
of Roxburgh, New Zealand, Mining Agent and Sharebroker.
Improved automatic detector of undue water.

Claims.—(1.) In detecting undue rise of water in certain
places that such may happen in, the combination of a float
with the whistle of a steam boiler, so that a rise of the water
causes said whistle to sound, all substantially as shown
and as described and explained. (2.) In the detection of
undue rise in water, the combination of several floats con-
nected to a whistle so that the rise of one of them would pull
a cord and thus give an alarm, all substantially as shown in
the drawing, and as described and explained. (3.) In the de-
tection of undue rise in water, the combination of a float with
another form of alarm such as a gun, when steam is not
available, all substantially as set forth.
