No. 19610.—20th June, 1905.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, 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 William Herbert Borden, of Winchester, Massachusetts aforesaid, Machinist). Improvements in or relating to machines for making and driving staples.*

Extract from Specification.—One of the objects of this invention is to provide means for insuring that staples which are formed successively will be of uniform length, and also that both legs of each staple will be of the same length, and to this end we have provided a wire-feeding mechanism which is not affected in its operation by the vibration of the machine, and which is moved positively forwardly and backwardly to feed the wire accurately and uniformly. Another object of our invention is to provide means for forming staples of varying lengths, according to the thickness of the stock being operated on; and still another object is to provide feed-rolls, which are held yieldingly in engagement with the wire during the operation of feeding the wire, and means for separating said feed-rolls preparatory to each feeding operation. Improved means are also provided for governing the position, with relation to the staple-forming means, of the carrier on which the severing mechanism is mounted. Other objects of our invention are to provide improved means for actuating the cutter which severs the wire. As shown, the wire-feeding mechanism is mounted on the movable carrier with the wire-severing mechanism. This feeding mechanism includes a rotatable feed-roll, which is operatively connected with a lever also mounted on the carrier, which lever is in turn connected to and actuated from a cam on the main shaft. This cam, or actuator, comprises a groove of uniform width throughout its length, thus providing a single means for moving the operating means positively in two directions, thereby oscillating the feeding mechanism forwardly and backwardly uniformly.

No. 19678.—5th July, 1905.—RICHARD NEVILLE REID LINDSAY, of Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand, Engineer. An improved appliance for use in dehorning cattle and for other analogous operations.*

Claims.—(1.) An appliance for use in dehorning cattle and for other analogous purposes, consisting of a jaw formed with an inwardly curved extremity secured upon one of a pair of pivoted handles, and a jaw connected to the other handle and formed with a convex cutting edge adapted to pass across the space encircled by the curved end of the first jaw, substantially as specified. (2.) An appliance for use in dehorning cattle and for other analogous operations, consisting of a jaw formed with an inwardly curved extremity secured upon one of a pair of handles pivoted together, a jaw formed with a convex cutting edge pivoted to the first jaw, an extension of the other handle beyond the pivot-point, and a lever connecting the extremity of this extension and the free end of the pivoted jaw together, substantially as specified.

(Specification, 2s. 9d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 19679.—5th July, 1905.—JACOB WILLIAM COMPTON, of Kuripuni, New Zealand, Farmer. Improved means for locking the wheels of vehicles and for preventing the horses attached thereto from bolting.*

Claim.—In means for locking the wheels of vehicles and for preventing the horses attached thereto from bolting, a strap adjustable in length provided with means for securing one of its ends to a shaft of the vehicle, and with a pair of loops secured upon its other end, which loops are adapted to pass forward, one on each side of the rim of the wheel, and to have the driving reins secured thereto, substantially as specified.

(Specification, 2s. 6d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 19730.—13th July, 1905.—JOHN MAHONEY, of Wari-pori Street, Wellington, New Zealand, Machinist, and JOHN HENRY BOWMAN, of 12 Aro Street, Wellington aforesaid, Machinist. An improved spouting-bracket.*

Extract from Specification. — This invention relates to brackets used for supporting spouting beneath the eaves of roofs, and the invention consists in making a bracket with an upper part having a foot and an integral horizontal member provided with an integral hinge, and in hinging the lower part of the bracket to the upper part.

No. 19738.—12th July, 1905.—JOHN FRANCIS MCGRATH, of Dunedin, New Zealand, Sailmaker. Fastening-means for animal-covers.*

Extract from Specification.—The leading feature of my invention is a system of girth-straps formed of two V-shaped portions attached one on each side of the cover, and adapted to be brought together in the form of a double-V or X shape and joined by a single spring hook. The usual breast and breeching straps are also used at the front and back of the cover respectively. My means of fastening is much simpler, cheaper, and more handy in use than the fastenings already known, such as that consisting of three straps forming a double V on each side of the cover inside thereof with a single connecting strap between them.

No. 19811.—25th July, 1905.—JAMES MACALISTER, of Dee Street, Invercargill, New Zealand, Engineer and Agricultural-implement Maker. An automatic scraper for scraping and cleaning the concave pressure-rollers of ridging-machines and the like.*

Extract from Specification. — The scraper employed consists of a flat bar sharpened at the end somewhat similar to an ordinary wood-chisel and pivotally hung from the machine-frame in such a manner that the sharpened end shall rest on the surface of the roller. Means are provided whereby a reciprocating turning movement of the scraper may be imparted to it from the driving-wheel of the machine, so that the sharpened point of such scraper may be caused to travel longitudinally backwards and forwards along the surface of the roller.
